Generic Surplus
Generic Surplus founders Brandon Day and Kevin Carney say the goal of their men's footwear imprint is to serve as a "case study in adultism": an aesthetic that represents the intersection of mature sophistication and youthful street attitude. The younger sibling of Day and Carney's luxury label Generic Man, Generic Surplus offers the same understated style and unmatched versatility as its older brother, but with a more casual vibe and at lower price points. The result? Sharp, logo-free chukka boots, lightweight mesh plimsolls, wingtip shoes, and other designs in materials ranging from bone brown canvas to oxblood leather. Based in L.A., Generic Surplus has collaborated with the French couture label Comme des Garçons on Shirt — a line of slip-ons and lace-up sneakers in bright primary colors and neutral hues. Another favorite designing partner is Obey, the fashion label started by artist Shepard Fairey (the artist behind President Obama's "HOPE" poster).

Catching up on the Olympics coverage this morning, I was struck by a close-up shot of an equestrian rider, his hands resting loosely on the reins of his mount. At this level of competition, some would say that the rider and the mount are one. Of course they are not. They are two creatures trying to obtain the same goal.
The analogy might be better understood if we discussed two dancers, one experienced and one inexperienced. The experienced dancer will rest their hands lightly on the hands or body of their partner, while the inexperienced dancer will be gripping tightly. There is no question, when we discuss dancers, of one mind. There is no question of one of the partners being a tool of the other.
Such a discussion would be insulting and would be dismissed.
In analogy, the reins at the Tribune Co. rest in the hands of some inexperienced riders. The rider is being bucked as editors and workers continue to resist the moves of the rider, in particular of Lee Abrams, but also of Randy Michaels. And Abrams, in particular, is rubbing his ass, as he is bucked again, wondering what is wrong with the mount?
I submit that it is not the mount, which is after all making a profit even in this down market, but an inexperienced rider. Abrams will not be able to successfully lead if he continues to resist the advice of people who understand the business better. The satellite radio business has not been such a rousing success that we can immediately assume that he has lessons to transfer to the newspaper business. And the thin-skinned Abrams is not only unable to internalize this lesson; he is defensive about his abilities.

By SADANAND DHUME
On Sunday night, Lalit Modi, the high-profile founder and chairman of the Indian Premier League, watched the Chennai Super Kings dismantle the Mumbai Indians in a floodlit stadium crammed with 55,000 full-throated, banner-waving cricket fans. A few minutes after the final ball of this year's tournament was bowled, and the winning captain handed a check for 60 million rupees ($1.35 million), Mr. Modi's bosses informed him by email that he was out of a job.
In India, pundits often call cricket the national religion. By that measure, Mr. Modi was the nation's high priest until his fall on Sunday—a wizard who in three short years conjured up a $4 billion confection of heart-pumping cricket laced with the glamour of big business and Bollywood. Over the past two weeks, though, the country has been riveted less by the on-field heroics of the world's leading players and more by allegations in the press and in parliament of corruption and sleaze in the administration of the IPL.
The unfolding scandal has already forced the resignation of the junior minister for foreign affairs, Shashi Tharoor, for allegedly misusing his influence to get his girlfriend a free stake in a new team. It has also set off televised income-tax raids on the offices of the IPL and several of its franchisees, and raised troubling questions about alleged corruption and insider influence at the heart of Indian cricket. Mr. Tharoor denies the allegations against him, and Mr. Modi dismissed the raids as routine.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India, the sport's governing body, has suspended Mr. Modi pending an investigation into accusations that he rigged franchise bids in favor of friends and family, manipulated the award of IPL broadcast and Internet rights, and violated a confidentiality clause by "tweeting" about team ownership on the social-networking Web site Twitter. The government has launched a separate probe into "all aspects of IPL."
Mr. Modi stoutly denies any wrongdoing. On Monday he tweeted a message of thanks to his fans, declared that he remains IPL chairman pending the conclusion of the investigation, and urged people to "Wait—we have just begun."
In a cricket-crazed land, the IPL affair is about much more than mere sport. The idea of Mr. Modi's brainchild as a stand-in for the new India—brash, over-hyped and crassly commercial—may have become a bit of a cliché, but it is apt nonetheless. Mr. Modi's admirers laud him for having the vision to marry a fast-paced version of a famously languorous sport—compressed to three television-friendly hours instead of the traditional five-day or one-day formats—with big business, Bollywood razzmatazz and saturation media coverage. Team owners include Mukesh Ambani, chairman of the Reliance Group and the world's fourth-richest man; alcohol and airline mogul Vijay Mallya; and Bollywood stars Shah Rukh Khan, Preity Zinta and Shilpa Shetty. The IPL is India's first (and only) world-class sporting tournament, run like clockwork and televised to international standards.
By paying top dollar for talent—this year, for example, Mr. Ambani's team snapped up the West Indian Kieron Pollard for $2.75 million—the tournament has decisively moved cricket's center of gravity from England to India. At a symbolic level, the IPL stands for India's new self-confidence, can-do spirit and openness to the world. With its billionaire franchise owners and raw commercialism—everything from players' uniforms to time-outs to high-scoring hits find sponsors—the tournament is also the country's most prominent advertisement, after decades of dour socialism, of the glory of getting rich. Only in a market-driven democracy can you find the exuberance and spontaneous energy that fill a stadium during an IPL game. The three-hour format symbolizes a country that must plan its leisure around work.
For Mr. Modi's equally numerous detractors, he and his tournament symbolize all that is wrong with India. To them the IPL represents the pursuit of filthy lucre at the cost of a once genteel sport. Mr. Modi himself—with his private jet and fleet of high-end BMWs and Mercedes-Benzes—is seen as the face of a still-poor country that has lost its moral moorings. Mr. Modi's critics tend to credit his success less to business savvy and more to political connections and strong-arm tactics. The IPL has flourished in part because the BCCI, of which Mr. Modi is a vice president, granted itself a monopoly by forcing a rival league to shut down.
The truth, as usual, lies in between. The IPL owes much to Mr. Modi's hustle and media savvy, but his tenure has not exactly been a byword for transparency or good governance. The ownership of a handful of the league's 10 teams remains opaque, and the process of auctioning new franchises brings to mind smoke-filled back rooms and furtive emails among a handful of privileged insiders. Mr. Modi reportedly dished out informal advice to influential bidders for IPL franchises, and his family members hold stakes in at least two teams, as well as in Internet broadcast rights.
In a country with a weak legal system, venal political class and hidebound bureaucracy, some of this corner-cutting is expected. India ranks 133rd out of 183 countries in the ease of doing business according to the World Bank's and International Finance Corporation's 2010 Doing Business Report. But the danger, for Indian cricket in particular and for India more broadly, is that such scandals erode faith in market-opening reforms by creating the impression that they benefit only a few. The government appears serious about cleaning up the IPL, but in the long term, the real challenge it faces is to put in place systems that encourage entrepreneurship and innovation, but not at the cost of transparency and the law. India shouldn't have to choose between Mr. Modi the visionary and Mr. Modi the crony capitalist.

Impalas / Tommy Edwards - Sorry / My Melancholy Baby rare, original FINNISH pressing. Condition VG |
MGM | Single/EP | 10.00 € |
Impressions - Definitive Impressions .. "The Impressions' Big Sixteen". I can still remember the first copy I ever saw, hanging in the window of "The Melody Inn" - the hippest record shop in Stanford-Le-Hope, Essex and, luckily for me, my local record shop. It was in a drop-down strip of plastic that also housed an import copy of James Brown's Try Me album, Motown Magic and The Late, Fantastically Great Elmore James. All four were second-hand, which showed an unbelievable lack of taste on the previous owner's part. I later found out from the young, ultra-aware shop proprietor Martin Hubbard - my original musical mentor, and the man who later gave me my first job in the record business - that they belonged to an ex-mod called Ron, who'd 'grown up' and traded them in for Procol Harum and Grateful Dead albums, having declared to himself that "Soul was sh*t". Silly fella... For weeks, Big Sixteen and the others blazed brazenly from the Melody Inn's window, almost daring me to buy them all. Like most kids on a limited budget, I could ill afford to even think about that, as I barely made enough money from various paper rounds, shelf-filling and eventually, a Saturday job at the 'Inn', to pay for all of the singles I wanted to buy, let alone long players (even second-hand ones!). The weekend before my 14th birthday, it was still there in the window. Someone had 'tried' JB, and someone else was experiencing the 'Magic' of Motown. But Elmore was still inexplicably up for grabs - and so was Big Sixteen. With birthday money looming large, I knew it would be mine within the week... ...Inevitably, it wasn't. Someone came in on the Saturday and bought it. I'd never asked Martin to save it, because I was convinced that everybody in my home town knew that I was going to buy it as soon as I had the money. My disappointment had to be assuaged by a just-arrived copy of The Rhythm Of Major Lance, which Martin recommended as being a good 'consolation prize', from the same source and was probably part-exchanged for "Piper At the Gates Of Dawn", "Surrealistic Pillow" or something similar - as Big Sixteen. Nice make-do if you can get it, of course. ...I still have that copy of TROML. Sadly, by the time I was working for a living and could afford to buy albums on a regular basis, Big Sixteen had been deleted. Down the years I managed to get every one of its fantastic tracks on other albums and/or singles, but I never did own that album, with its simple yet memorable cover image and its content of a dozen and four of the greatest records ever made. At least, I didn't until it eventually added another 12 tracks and re-emerged triumphantly, in 1988 and in CD form, as Kent's Definitive Impressions. This was the first compact disc to offer an exhaustive overview of the Impressions' superlative ABC-Paramount recordings. And, despite several others that have followed in its wake, it's still the only one that lives up to its title from beginning to end... ...Now, after a very lucky (for us) 13 years as a mainstay of the Kent catalogue, Definitive Impressions has been given its equivalent of a long service award, via a spruce-up that will gladden the hearts of old soul boys everywhere. We've obviously made no changes to the music - with a track listing like it has, how could there be any need for changes? - but it's been given a new packaging, with a newly-written appreciation of the Imps by yours truly plus a wealth of record labels and rare pix/ephemera for your visual pleasure. Best of all, it now boasts a front cover that pays deserving and respectful homage to Big Sixteen, by using that same cover shot on that unmistakable pale blue background. There can be few more reassuring and welcoming sights in any record collection than this... Even those with only a passing interest in soul music would have to agree that Definitive Impressions is a cornerstone to any serious collection of soul music. The proof, should you need any, is in the tracklisting - here you'll find Gypsy Woman, I've Been Trying, Keep On Pushing, You've Been Cheating, We're A Winner, I'm So Proud and People Get Ready, to name but a few of its unchallenged contenders for any musical Hall Of Fame. These, and the other 22 sumptuous, soulful songs featured have few equals in the annals of American music. There can be no questions about this that a quick scan of the remaining titles won't answer. There are many who will gladly tell you that the exquisite harmonies of Curtis Mayfield, Sam Gooden and Fred Cash make them the finest soul group of all time, I would be unwilling and unable to oppose any such assertion, and I'm willing to bet that even Ron - who, you'll remember, we already met at the top of this piece - has long since outgrown his psych leanings and would once again agree with me. Here, then, are two dozen and four of the greatest recordings made by anyone, anytime and anywhere - Definitive and, unquestionably, Impressive. By Tony Rounce (Ace Records) |

Jacks / The Cadets - Why Don't You Write Me Early in 1955, Joe Bihari of Modern Records hired a local gospel quintet and turned them into an in-house R&B act. From 1955-1958, the group recorded 20 singles - 14 as The Cadets and 6 as The Jacks - on a variety of different labels. They hit the charts under both guises. An earlier volume "The Cadets Meet The Jacks" (CDCHD 534) was the first of two to bring together their collective output. It concentrated on the recordings attributed to The Cadets, whereas the second now emphasises recordings released as by The Jacks (though both contain songs by their group alter-egos.)The Cadets big hit was Stranded In The Jungle-.-released on Modern, it entered Billboard's R&B chart on 21st July 1955, rising to the No. 4 slot and crossing over into the Pop chart at No. 15. It was released in the UK on London Records. Recently the song was used in the movie "Dead Poets Society".Maxwell Davis arranged, and Joe Bihari supervised most of the groups' sessions. Usually bass singer Dub Jones or tenor Aaron Collins sang lead on The Cadets recordings, while tenor Willie Davis fronted The Jacks. (Ted Taylor was also featured on several songs - check out his Do You Wanna Rock). A couple of Jacks recordings which sound stylistically closer to The Cadets were included for good measure on the first volume and the reverse applies here. All this may sound confusing, but the music isn't. The Jacks and The Cadets turned out (as sleeve note writer and West Coast R&B expert Jim Dawson asserts) some fine, fun-tinged pop records which are amongst the most enjoyable of the late 50s period.Collectors note: This CD includes out-take and rare material recorded as The Rocketeers on the band's own MJC label (including the wonderfully titled They Turned The Party Down At Bessie's House).

Jeanne And The Darlings / The Charmels - We're The Soul Girls ! - The Complete Volt Recordings This Stax distaff double-header anthologises two underrated teams of ladies whose voices were utilised behind the scenes at McLemore Avenue as well as in their own right. Both were with the company for a number of years and neither ever had a long-playing vinyl release, which makes this new CD extremely welcome. Were The Soul Girls features everything released on Volt by Jeanne and the Darlings and the Charmels, as well as eleven tracks that were not issued at the time. Their original 45s are admired by girl group fans, and both the Darlings Soul Girl and the Charmels As Long As I Have You are also cherished by collectors of original breakbeats. The Charmels were at Stax throughout the Atlantic-distributed years. As the Tonettes, theirs were the first voices to be heard on the Volt label when No Tears became Volt 101 in early 1962 (#100 was an instrumental by the Triumphs). The Tonettes had a second single a few months later, and recorded enough material to fill four more 45s, but they caught an unexpected break when Nashville label Sound Stage 7 needed a black female group to go out as the Dixiebelles to promote a studio-created Hot 100 hit called Down At Papa Joes. The Tonettes masqueraded as the Dixiebelles until that concept had run its course, and returned to the Volt roster in late 1966 as the Charmels (and, on their final Volt 45, the Charmells). Working with Isaac Hayes and David Porter they rolled out four exemplary 45s over an 18 month period that extended into the early days of the post-Atlantic era. They also backed up a number of Stax solo artists during part of that period, a role they shared with a trio of equally estimable ladies led by Arkansan Jeanne Dolphus or Jeanne Darling as she was known professionally. Jeanne and her fellow Darlings would quickly become Stax equivalent of Motowns Andantes, lending their vocal backups to an increasing number of sessions featuring solo Stax acts. Unlike the Andantes, who managed just one single in their own name during the years they were with Motown, Jeanne and the Darlings saw six singles issued over a three-year period with Volt. They too started their own career under the supervision of Hayes and Porter, before moving on to work with other great Stax writer-producers, including Don Davis and the celebrated We Three trio of Bettye Crutcher, Homer Banks and Raymond Jackson. None of the unissued tracks by either group is inferior, and just about all of them could have been considered for singles. You might think that there cant be much left to do with Stax, given how many great CDs have preceded these two on the Ace catalogue. Thats not the case and, even as these two are finding their way into your collections, Im mining the tape vaults for yet more exciting projects by both familiar and fairly obscure Stax acts.

Greenpeace Urges Shut Down Of U.S. Nukes
Michael Steinberg
A recent report by Greenpeace, written in the aftermath of 9-11, asserted "the NRC's regulation of the nuclear industry is already a farce" and called for "the phase out of [U.S.] nuclear reactors" to "avoid a tragedy."
In its November 14 report the global environmental group named 14 nuclear power stations with 25 nukes as "the reactors that cause the greatest risk" and called for them to be shut down first. Among them are the troubled Indian Point 2 plants just 24 miles north of New York City. The report cited federal government statistics indicating that a catastrophic accident at Indian Point could cause hundreds of thousands of deaths and injuries as far as 50 miles from the plant, and result in hundreds of billions of dollars in economic damages.
Similarly dire statistics from that same government source for the nation's other operating nuclear power plants were included in the report.
There are 103 commercial nuclear reactors operating at 64 sites in 31 states across the nation.
The Greenpeace report ("Risky Business: The Probability and Consequences of a Nuclear Accident") stated, "As the events of September 11th tragically demonstrated, the risk of a nuclear reactor meltdown must encompass not only the potential for an accident but also the possibility of sabotage. The U.S. government has known since at least the mid-1990s that terrorists were targeting nuclear power plants."
To support this assertion the report quoted the following from an October 24, 2001 Associated Press story: "Ramzi Yousef, the convicted mastermind of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, encouraged followers in 1994 to strike such a plant, officials say. An FBI agent has testified in court that one of Yousef's followers told him in 1995 of plans to blow up a nuclear plant. And in 1999 the NRC acknowledged to Congress that it had received a credible threat of a terrorist attack against a nuclear power facility."
In a September 21 press release, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission stated "the NRC did not specifically contemplate attacks by aircraft such as Boeing 757s and 767s and nuclear plants were not designed to withstand such crashes."
A nuclear meltdown could occur in a nuclear plant's reactor or its spent fuel pool. The pool stores irradiated fuel rods after they are commercially "spent" and become high level nuclear waste. Green- peace quoted NRC documents and officials to demonstrate that the containment structures of U.S. nuclear plants could fail during a meltdown. A 1988 NRC document it cited stated, "All five major reactor containment types were found to be subject to failure in such accidents, for which they were not designed."
The NRC has not inspired confidence in assessing the probability of such a catastrophic accident. The Greenpeace report pointed to one 1979 NRC document that claimed the chances of a meltdown at a U.S. nuke were minuscule. Less than a month after the document's release, Three Mile Island 2 nuclear plant in Pennsylvania suffered a partial meltdown. Not until after the Chernobyl nuclear disaster in 1986 did NRC Commissioner James Asselstine admit to a Congressional committee " ... given the present level of safety being achieved by the operating nuclear power plants in this country, we can expect to see a core meltdown accident within the next 20 years."
With five year's left to fulfill Asselstine's prediction, we can only hope that this one too proves untrue.
What is harder to contest, given the Chernobyl aftermath, is Greenpeace's assertion that "If a meltdown were to occur in either the reactor or the spent fuel pool, the accident could kill and injure tens of thousands of people, cost billions of dollars in damages, and leave large regions uninhabitable."
The report cited an April 2000 Associated Press story that quoted these Ukrainian government figures: 4,000 rescue workers died from radiation poisoning after the Chernobyl disaster; another 70,000 people there have been disabled by radiation. "Overall," the AP story stated, "about 3.4 million of Ukraine's 50 million people, including 1.26 million children, are considered affected by Chernobyl, and many may not show the affects for years." According to Greenpeace, "the Chernobyl accident contaminated approximately...12,400 square miles...and in 1990...the contaminated land was considered a total loss for at least two generations."
Consequences of Meltdowns
The Greenpeace report referred to early 1980's NRC documents authored by the federal government's Sandia National Laboratory that calculated the consequences of serious accidents (such as meltdowns) at U.S. nuclear plants, resulting in releases of large quantities of radiation into the environment. The report stated "This was not the first time the government had looked at the consequences of a nuclear accident; however, it was the last …" The information was never intended to be made public, and only came out through the insistence of Massachusetts Congressman Edward Markey.
The Sandia studies broke down the consequences of such an accident into four components. "Peak early fatalities" result from radiation exposure over the first year after the accident. "Peak early injuries" are, according to Greenpeace, "radiation related injuries occurring within one year of the accident which require hospitalization or other medical attention. Early injuries include conditions such as sterility, thyroid nodules, vomiting and cataracts."
"Peak cancer deaths" are "predicted to occur over the lifetime of the population exposed to the radioactive release."
"Scaled costs," the report explained, "include estimates of lost wages, relocation expenses, decontamination costs, lost property and the cost of interdiction for property and farmland. 'Scaled' means that the costs have been adjusted for the size of the reactor."
The Sandia studies calculated the peak early fatalities for Indian Point (IP) 2 and 3 as 46,000 and 50,000, respectively. Peak early injuries were figured at 141,000 for unit 2 and 167,000 for unit 3. For peak cancer deaths the numbers were 13,000 for IP2 and 14,000 for IP3. The studies calculated scaled costs, in 1980 dollars, as $274 billion for unit 2 and $314 billion for unit 3.
Indian Point 1's reactor has been permanently shut down since 1974, after operating only 12 years. However, its spent fuel pool is still full of high level nuclear waste. This situation exists at a number of other shut down nuclear power plants. Some nuclear critics such as David Lochbaum of the Union of Concerned Scientists, a 17-year veteran of the nuclear industry, think that a serious accident in a spent fuel pool could release as much or more radiation into the environment as a serious reactor accident.
New Orleans is 25 miles east, and downwind, of the Waterford 3 nuclear power plant. The Sandia numbers for Waterford are 96,000 peak early fatalities, 279,000 peak early injuries, 9,000 peak cancer deaths, and $131 billion in 1980 dollars in scaled costs.
The Limerick 1 and 2 nuclear reactors are 21 miles northwest of Philadelphia. Their lethal numbers, for each reactor, are 74,000 peak early fatalities, 610,000 peak early injuries, and 34,000 peak cancer deaths. Scaled costs in 1980 dollars were put at $213 billion for unit 1 and $197 billion for unit 2.
The news is just as bad for the rest of Greenpeaces's list of the most risky nukes. Catawba 1 and 2 are 20 miles east of Charlotte, NC. At that time of the early 1980's Sandia reports their numbers were, for each reactor, 42,000 peak early fatalities, 88,000 peak early injuries, and 5,800 peak cancer deaths. Scaled costs, again in 1980 dollars, were calculated at $101 billion for unit 1 and $93.7 billion for unit 2. Charlotte's population and economy have mushroomed since the early 1980s, meaning that all these numbers would likely be much higher if a catastrophic nuclear accident happened there now.
A similarly sad tale emerges from the statistics for the egregiously named Turkey Point evil twin reactors, 25 miles upwind of Miami, and for other nukes in the Sandia studies.
The Sandia studies also calculated U.S. nukes' peak fatality radii as well as peak injury radii. For example, Dresden 2 and 3 in Illinois have a peak fatality radius of 15 miles. Their peak injury radius is 60 miles, and thus includes Chicago and Gary, Indiana. The Millstone nukes in Connecticut have a peak fatality radius of 20 miles, and a peak injury radius of 65 miles. The latter area includes most of the Nutmeg state, all of Rhode Island, eastern Long Island in New York, and parts of western and southern Massachusetts.
Indian Point's 50-mile peak injury radius includes NYC and Newark, as well as Stamford, Bridgeport and Danbury, Connecticut.
We know from the Chernobyl disaster, however, that radioactive plumes which escaped into the environment there traveled thousands of miles, broke into separate plumes, and blew in multiple directions with the shifting winds.
Other nuclear plants, besides those already mentioned, on the Greepeace list of the nation's most risky nukes are: Surry 1 and 2 in Virginia; Salem 1 and 2 and Hope Creek 1 in New Jersey; Sus- quehanna 1 and 2 and Three Mile Island 1 in Pennsylvania; Peach Bottom 2 and 3 in Maryland; and Sequoyah 1and 2 in Tennessee.
National Security Threat
Jim Riccio, author of the Greenpeace report, in a press release accompanying the publication of Risky Business, stated, "The United States cannot be on high alert and then ignore the biggest threat sitting within its own borders…. The only way to secure our nuclear plants from nuclear sabotage or an accident is to immediately implement an emergency phase out plan for all reactors.... Nuclear plants now constitute a national security threat and their continued operation is unacceptable."
The report also asserted that the NRC "must not extend the licenses of nuclear reactors" and should "rescind those licenses that have already been renewed." It also said "New construction of nuclear reactors in the United States must be prohibited."
On November 30, five Democratic senators and congress-persons (Senators Hillary Clinton, Joseph Lieberman and Harry Reid, along with Nita Lowey and Edward Markey from the House of Representatives) somewhat grudgingly introduced legislation to strengthen security at U.S. commercial nuclear plants.
The legislation called for permanent federal security officers at the plants, re-evaluating the designs of nukes to bulk them up to withstand direct hits from contemporary jumbo jets, stockpiling potassium iodide (which can prevent thyroid cancer) for the public within 50 miles of nuclear plants, and giving the NRC power to recommend to state governors the use of the National Guard and Coast Guard in times of crisis.
While the corporate media, the nuclear industry, and the NRC blithely ignored the Greepeace report, those entities couldn't just blow off the likes of Lieberman and company. The latter two were quick to respond.
The nuclear industry fired back first, on the same day the legislation was introduced. Joe Colvin, top dog at the Nuclear Energy Institute, the industry's lobbying and public relations organ, called the legislation "well intentioned but misguided. The bill is a reflexive political response to a problem that does not exist."
The NRC, which critics call the nuclear industry's lapdog rather than its watchdog, quickly fell in line. A few days later, in a letter to Senator Reid, NRC Chief Richard Meserve said, "The commission strongly opposes enactment of the legislation as drafted." In language nearly identical to Colvin's, Meserve said that the proposal to create a federal nuclear security force "addresses a nonexistent problem."
As usual, both sides missed the point. Or perhaps their obscuring the necessity to eliminate nukes as the solution to the national security threat they pose is their common point. In contrast, Green- peace looked to practical solutions that could positively change our catastrophic nuclear reality.
The Greenpeace report also pointed to a November 2000 study conducted for the U.S. Department of Energy by five federal energy laboratories. This study, according to Greenpeace, "found that renewable energy could supply at least 7.5% of the U.S. electricity by 2010,...enough to allow for the phase out of the most dangerous reactors in the U.S.," such as Indian Point's.
In addition, the report stated, another recent study by the Union of Concerned Scientists found that "renewable energy could supply 20% of U.S. electricity by 2020," which "coupled with an increase in energy efficiency...would produce enough electricity to supplant every nuclear reactor currently operating in the United States."
Greenpeace said it disclosed the information in the report because "the public deserves a frank discussion of this most unforgiving technology.... Greenpeace hopes that by providing this information to the public and the media we can accelerate the phase out of nuclear reactors and avoid a tragedy." Z

Changes Could Come To Counties
By: KLST News
Updated: March 15, 2013
Earlier this week, the Concho Valley Council of Governments voted to approve the move of Edwards county from the Middle Rio Grande Development Council into the Concho Valley Council of Governments pending approval from Governor Rick Perry.
A move that hasn't been successfully attempted in over four decades.
Edwards county judge Souli Shanklin is leading the movement and he said it was time for a change.
"This changing from this C.O.G. to that C.O.G., changing from the Middle Rio Grand, has never been done. It's unprecedented, but it's 40 years old. Texas has changed in 40 years," Judge Shanklin said. "Yesterday is yesterday, it's the past. My concerns are for five years down the road, 10 years down the road, 20 years down the road."
But not everyone in Edwards county is on board with the move. Rocksprings City Councilman W. Andrew Barnebey said that because of issues including future state funding, the town is split.
"Our school district, our city, and maybe the second school district that's in there may also object but we're very much divided about making this change."
Although there is disagreement amongst city leaders about whether or not this move should be made, of the citizens we spoke to in Rocksprings,they were in support with this move.
Matt Rogers is a resident of Rocksprings and said past issues with the Middle Rio Grande Development Council makes him feel a move to the C.V.C.O.G. is necessary.
"What was happening with the Middle Rio Grande and not happening that should led us to think that we would be better served by the Concho Valley C.O.G. "
Delia Rendon has been living in Rocksprings for over 40 years and she is excited for the possible move.
"I think there will be a lot of new changes by joining Concho Valley. I'm looking forward to it and I hope we go through with it. "
Because this is uncharted territory and there are still many questions that need to be answered Jeffrey Sutton said it was best to send this matter to the state capitol.
"Supposedly everyone had knowledge of the facts involved and what we understood that the process was and so my board felt like the ball was in the court of the governor's office at this point and we'll proceed from there and see what happens."
No decision will offically be made official until the Governor rules on the matter. A decision is expected to be made in September.

Game of Thrones is one of those genre shows that inspires an entire regiment of angry fans whenever you dare call its quality into question.
Still, I was surprised yesterday when I was debating about purchasing season two for my video collection and I heard a couple voicing the thoughts I was internalizing.
I dont know if we should get it. It wasnt as good as the first season.
Now, its important to note that Game of Thrones will probably never be able to live up to its first season because that was one of those rare perfect seasons. When a show doesnt make one wrong turn in an entire season you know you have something special.Read more here

Skyrim 1.7 Patch and Possible PS3/PC Dawnguard Release
A beta version of the 1.7 patch for the Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is now available on Steam. Bethesda has reported that the updates will be available for Xbox 360 and PS3 with additional information on console patches expected later.
When the PS3 update becomes available, the 1.7 patch will include 1.6 title update features that Xbox 360 players received in June. Mounted combat, fixes for load/save crashes, and miscalculated bow damage are some of the many bug corrections included in the 1.6 patch. For the most recent 1.7 update, Bethesda's blog includes a full list of fixes including crashes related to dragon landings, loading screen errors, and multiple Kinect repairs. The blog also includes instructions on how to download the beta update through Steam.
But perhaps the more notable news is that PS3 and PC Dovahkiin may finally get the Skyrim: Dawnguard DLC. Peter Hines, Bethesda marketing executive, said earlier this week that Bethesda may finally have Dawnguard release dates for PS3 and PC users and asked players to just "sit tight". More information is expected to be released later this week, an excruciating and continued wait for PS3 and PC users. Comments on the Bethesda Blog show frustrated Skyrim fans who are still waiting for Dawnguard news even after the expiration of the Xbox 360, 30 day exclusive DLC.
Perhaps fans would be less agitated if Bethesda released any information about Dawnguard. Being kept in the dark by Bethesda's tight lips has caused a lot of distrust and anger among their most recent fans while older fans comment they're used to this sort of treatment. Some comments include "I won't be buying anymore Bethesda games" and "This is ridiculous. I play this game just as much on my PC as any Xbox guys." One positive commenter wrote he was happy Bethesda was debugging and "testing" the DLC on Xbox so PS3 and PC users could have a polished version. Hopefully by the end of this week PC and PS3 players' patience will be rewarded with some solid information.

A digest of important news from sources selected by our local editors. Delivered weekday mornings.
Two former executives have returned to Nueterra to help drive international growth, the Leawood company announced Wednesday.
John Schario and Kevin Standefer had both previously worked with Nueterra, which specializes in developing joint equity partnerships with health systems, governments, hospitals and physicians. They'll return to help run the company's London offices, which serve Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
Schario will be managing director for the region, and Standefer will act as executive vice president for the region.
Steve Harmon, CEO of LAC (Latin America and Caribbean) and EMEA (Europe, Middle East, Africa) Operations for the company, said the move reflected Nueterra's growing focus on international expansion.
"If I were to look for Nueterra to grow like it has in the past with adding seven or 10 hospitals a year, it would be hard to see that coming from the 28-29 states where we have a presence," he said. "We want to look at other countries to help us sustain our five-year plan."
He said a big component of the company now is exporting the intellectual property and expertise it has developed to its new international partners. He said he expects technology to change the landscape of international health care.
"It looks like technology is really going to give us the ability to expand the reach of our most talented physicians," he said. "I think as we continue to grow this borderless health care solution, it's more than just delivering services over the telephone or the computer. We feel strongly that we have to own bricks and mortar and be a part of their community. ... Health care isn't solved via Skype."

I get this from my mom. I remember as a child, my mom having lots of bird houses out in our backyard. I remember her throwing out stale bread crumbs and how the birds in Ohio, most cardinals and blue jays would flock around for the food. I remember in the spring finding the small particles of nesting materials in the small holes of the bird houses and then anxiously waiting until we heard the small chirps of baby birds.
Nothing brings me more joy than feeding the birds, sitting at dusk with a glass of merlot or iced tea, watching the variety of birds come to feast at my bird buffet, nestled gently among the branches of a Granny Smith apple tree in my backyard.
There is something magical about these little creatures of flight. They way they come and go, so quickly. How they patiently wait for us humans to go away before they alight on the perch of the feeder and tentatively and suspiciously consume the food we have generously put out for them.
I find delight in the color of the cardinals, the territorial nature and squawk of the blue jays and the aerodynamics of the ruby-throated hummingbirds. I have sat for hours watching them, quietly contemplating nature, finishing my day thoroughly relaxed.

State Police Rescue Oradell Siblings Lost in Ramapo Reservation
Police used the women's cell phone GPS systems to help rescue them
A New Jersey State Police helicopter helped Mahwah and Bergen County police officers locate two hikers lost in the Ramapo Reservation Saturday night, Mahwah Police Chief Jim Batelli confirmed. According to police, two sisters, ages 19 and 22, from Oradell, were hiking in the Reservation Saturday afternoon, but became disoriented after nightfall. "Two Mahwah officers and one Bergen County officer were dispatched to the scene but even using cell phone coordinates it became apparent the [women] were far into the reservation and off any designated trail," Batelli said. The women were led back to a trail by following police sirens, Batelli said. The women were navigating themselves using a cell phone flashlight that was running out of battery…

NGE >> History and Archaeology >> Antebellum Era, 1800-1860 >> People >> Robert Toombs (1810-1885) |
Robert Toombs (1810-1885) Robert Toombs, one of the most ardent secessionists in the U.S. Senate, helped to lead Georgia out of the Union on the eve of the Civil War (1861-65).
Early Life Born July 2, 1810, in Wilkes County, Robert Augustus Toombs was the fifth child of Catherine Huling and Robert Toombs. His father died when he was five, and he entered the University of Georgia when he was just fourteen. After the university chastised him for unbecoming conduct in a card-playing incident, Toombs continued his education at Union College in Schenectady, New York, and then studied law at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville. Shortly after his admission to the Georgia bar, he married his childhood sweetheart, Julia A. Dubose, with whom he had three children. Public Service His genial character, proclivity for entertainment, and unqualified success on the legal circuit earned Toombs the growing attention and admiration of his fellow Georgians. In 1837 his district elected him to the Georgia General Assembly, where, except for one year, he diligently served until 1843. On the wave of his growing popularity, Toombs won a seat to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1844 and joined his close friend and fellow representative Alexander Stephens from Crawfordville, in Taliaferro County. Their friendship forged a powerful personal and political bond that effectively defined and articulated Georgia's position on national issues in the middle decades of the nineteenth century. Toombs, like Stephens, emerged as a states' rights partisan, became a national Whig, and once the Whig Party dissolved, aided in the creation of the short-lived Constitutional Union Party in the early 1850s. From 1853 to 1861 Toombs served in the U.S. Senate, only reluctantly joining the Democratic Party when lack of interest among other states doomed the Constitutional Union Party. From Unionist to Confederate Throughout the 1840s and 1850s, Toombs fought to reconcile national policies with sectional interests. His support for the Georgia Platform in 1850 demonstrated his commitment to preserving the Union. Along with Alexander Stephens and Howell Cobb, he defended Henry Clay's Compromise of 1850 against "fire-eating" southern radicals who advocated secession from the Union as the only solution to sectional tensions over slavery. His faith in the resiliency and effectiveness of the national government to resolve sectional conflicts waned as the 1850s drew to a close. By 1860 Toombs had drifted into the radical camp with the fire-eaters in opposition to northern abolitionists. Abraham Lincoln's election to the presidency in 1860 and the resulting secession of Georgia from the Union finally prompted Toombs to resign his U.S. Senate seat on February 4, 1861. Unlike the crisis of 1850, these events galvanized Toombs's radicalism and energized ambitions for becoming the president of the new Confederate nation. The selection of Jefferson Davis as the new nation's chief executive not only dashed Toombs's highest hopes but also turned him into one of the most outspoken critics of the Confederate government and its policies. Nevertheless, Davis chose Toombs as his first secretary of state. Within months of his appointment, a frustrated Toombs stepped down to command a Georgia military brigade in Virginia. Denied a military promotion, he resigned his commission and returned home to Washington, Georgia. Final Years When the Confederacy finally collapsed in 1865, Toombs barely escaped arrest by Union troops and went into hiding, with the aid of writer Richard Malcolm Johnston, until fleeing to Cuba and then to Paris, France. He returned to the United States via Canada in 1867. Because he refused to request a pardon from Congress, he never regained his American citizenship. He did restore his lucrative law practice as an "unreconstructed" southerner.
The year 1883 was traumatic for Toombs. His lifelong friend and political comrade Alexander Stephens died suddenly after serving briefly as Georgia's governor. Within a few months his wife, Julia, suffering from a prolonged illness, also died. Their deaths devastated the aging Toombs. Once a bulwark of politics, he descended into depression and self-neglect. Toombs, the political lion of nineteenth-century Georgia politics, died on December 15, 1885.

Mixing It Up with the Behringer BCF2000
Using the Behringer as a MIDI control surface is nice, but it does require hand-assigning every button for every project. In my experience, it also doesn't do a good job at honoring the bank selectors—in MIDI mode you have eight tracks' worth of controls, and only that. If you want to mix a 24-track project, you have to be good about grouping your submixes and break your project down into passes. It's a viable way to work, but it can become a pain, and reassigning your faders as you go can confuse you when you change over (naturally, if you're running a number of BCFs in tandem, this limitation ceases to be a serious problem).
There is a better way to use the BCF2000 with Ardour, and that's in Mackie Emulation mode. Basically, you tell Ardour you're already connected to an eight-track Mackie control surface. The Mackie preset gives you a seven-plus-master mix layout, with pan pots at the top (except for the master track—there your pan pot is a jog/shuttle wheel) and each track having mute and solo buttons—very handy. It assigns the tracks in numbered order from left to right (corresponding to your track order in Ardour from top to bottom), with track eight being the Master bus.
Why is this a better way? It gives you access to all the controls on the BCF. MIDI mode allows easy assignment of pots and faders, but try assigning one of the buttons, and you'll find yourself quickly tempted to burn the thing at the stake. Button presses seem to register on assignment, but then when you go to use them, they don't work. This problem may be correctable by building a preset in Behringer's preset building software (Figure 6), depending on the preset you build and your version of Ardour. Your mileage may vary.
Section 10.6 of the manual gives detailed (and accurate) setup instructions for putting the Behringer in Mackie Emulation mode. Unfortunately, the effectiveness of Mackie mode seems to be in flux in Ardour's current development cycle. Some versions work very well—others don't work at all. Again, your mileage may vary (www.ardour.org/files/manual/sn-mackie.html).
Despite the bumps in the road due to Ardour's rapid development cycle, I wouldn't trade this little mixer for the world. It's easily saved me ten hours a week mixing down my podcasts, and the quality of the mixes has gone up as well. Mixing software faders with a mouse is a sucker's game compared to the precision you get mixing hardware faders with your fingers. For $200, this control surface delivers motorized faders and high-definition response in a well-designed, solid package that's fully supported by the Linux kernel and ALSA-MIDI.
That means it's also useful in a number of other high-level MIDI and audio programs for Linux, such as Rosegarden or LMMS or other programs that can accept MIDI control symbols. Let the mixing begin!

Thanks a LOT !
I was wondering if the BFC2000 was worthing the buy, and if it would be supported by Linux & Ardour.
Now I know it is, and moreover I have all the information I need about how to do it :)
So, thank you very much Dan for the writting of this very useful article.

How to Build an Optimal Hadoop Cluster to Store and Maintain Unlimited Amounts of Data Using Microservers
Realizing the promise of Apache® Hadoop® requires the effective deployment of compute, memory, storage and networking to achieve optimal results. With its flexibility and multitude of options, it is easy to over or under provision the server infrastructure, resulting in poor performance and high TCO. Join us for an in depth, technical discussion with industry experts from leading Hadoop and server companies who will provide insights into the key considerations for designing and deploying an optimal Hadoop cluster.
Some of key questions to be discussed are:
- What is the "typical" Hadoop cluster and what should be installed on the different machine types?
- Why should you consider the typical workload patterns when making your hardware decisions?
- Are all microservers created equal for Hadoop deployments?
- How do I plan for expansion if I require more compute, memory, storage or networking?

This is the second in a series of three articles on workforce development and quality jobs - with a focus on state and regional support for bioscience industry development. Read part one. Read part three.
This article represents the accumulation of a decade's worth of effort by BIO and other partners, including the Battelle Memorial Institute, Ernst and Young, Milken and others. These organizations have been instrumental to defining this growing industry and identifying how policy and education efforts in the states are moving innovation and manufacturing forward.
By Peter M. Pellerito, BIO Interim Vice President, State Government Relations/Alliance Development
Whether we call ourselves biotech, biosciences, or the life science industry, the diversity of the scientific discovery and commercialization efforts are linked by the application of knowledge in the ways plants, animals, and humans function.
The bioscience industry creates products and services through the application of science and commercializes them for a growing world market. The bioscience industry is defined as including the following four subsectors:
We also focus on diverse industry sectors that illustrate the interchangeability of biology applications and convergence of technologies The following emerging fields of study are a few examples of new opportunities not fully comprehended by the general public: Bioinformatics, Contract Research and Manufacturing, Nanotechnologies, Green Energy and Products (Biofuels, Forest Biosciences, Plastics), and Nutraceuticals.
Economic Benefits/Value to the Global Economy
In the U.S. there are also significant economic benefits from great research, development and commercialization that can be illustrated on several levels.
Jobs and salaries in this industry have substantially grown in the past ten years. To date, there are more than 47,000 bioscience companies and 1.4 million workers in the United States. Moreover, the industry has grown an average 3.5 percent each year during the past decade. Even during this deep recession, our industry actually grew between 2009 to 2010, though in uneven numbers depending on the sector. Data provided by the Battelle Memorial Institute demonstrates the exceptional irregularity of employment gain across the four industry subsectors:
While total private sector employment was down by 6.2 percent in 2009, total bioscience employment was actually up by 2.8 percent in that year.
And U.S. workers on average earn more than $77,000 per year, significantly higher than the national average of over $45,000 for all private industries in the US in 2009.
Beyond the statistics, the bioscience industry in has come to play in the economic development initiative of states, cities and municipalities for several important strategic reasons:
First, we are a vital component of the durable goods manufacturing sector of the U.S. economy in an environment of increasing and sustained international competition. Many states have strong bioscience-manufacturing presence that produces some of the highest quality products in the marketplace.
Second, these are high-skill, high-wage jobs that diversify the economy and support the creation of improved standard of living and state and local taxes to support K-12 education, public safety, and other budget priorities. This is especially important as states focus on efforts to rebound out of a major recession.
Third, the industry is intertwined with technology transfer efforts of universities, workforce development at community colleges, and inflow of federal and private research grants for invention and innovation and workforce training funds to match employer needs and employee skills.
Every state in 2011 is feeling the effects of the economic downturn and prospects for new funding mechanisms for biosciences industry growth will certainly be challenging in the 2012 state legislative sessions. However, there are four primary strategies that states can employ to retain the industry and grow the size and diversity of all four industry sectors all across the states.
1. Building career pathways for future biosciences talent with constrained budgets.
Attracting and retaining a continuing flow of educated (Ph.D., MS, BS, AA) and technically -proficient worker is essential to a state aspiring to enhance bioscience industry presence. In this global economy, nearly every competitor has access to breakthroughs in technology and to the equipment and capital to produce standardized products. It is those regions that possess the human capital, with its insights and competencies, that experience an enormous competitive advantage.
2. Address the overall supportive regulatory climate in your state to ensure predictable and stable regulatory treatment of biosciences firms

Its often awkward for me to refer to the size of my body in conversation with people whom I don't know very well. Its challenging with those I've known for awhile but haven't had The Talk with and as of late I've been meeting tons of new people. The moment comes fairly quickly, I've found, in moving through everyday life with others, that the topic needs light shone on it. I see that it can be difficult for others to know how to broach the topic for fear of offending me and I don't want my language choices to make people feel uncomfortable or give the wrong impression.
So, I'd like to share some of my philosophy and politics around my body and how I like to think of and refer to myself.
I'm fat.
Yup, fat.
No, I'm not being derogatory toward myself.
