City voters approved the measure 1,081 to 544 on Nov. 6 but opponents are challenging it, saying that some Sebastian County voters should have been allowed to cast ballots.
In the lawsuit, attorney Erik Danielson argued that because the entire southern district of the county voted to go "dry" in 1944, state law requires the entire district to vote on whether a single city can allow liquor sales. Danielson represents 21 Barling residents who filed suit Nov. 20.
The lawsuit cites a 1947 Supreme Court decision in its argument that the county, which includes Fort Smith, should have voted on the issue.
Prosecuting Attorney Dan Shue, who represents the county election commission, said the lawsuit should be dismissed because it didn't name the county clerk or the city of Barling as defendants - only the election commission.
The Southwest Times Record reported (http://is.gd/FxU54M ) that Circuit Court Judge Steve Tabor asked both sides Monday to submit legal briefs within a week before he will issue a ruling. He denied Shue's request to dismiss the lawsuit, saying Danielson's complaint is contesting the election but seeking to void the result, so the commission is the appropriate defendant.
Both sides agreed at Monday's hearing that the liquor-sale question was submitted to the entire southern district in 1944, but only to Barling voters on Nov. 6.
Danielson told Tabor that the commission disenfranchised all voters in the southern district of Sebastian County outside of Barling when it placed the item on the ballot, which constitutes a fraud, and resulted in an "improper and illegal" election.
Tabor said he hopes to rule soon on whether the election results should stand.

By Mike Monroe
LOS ANGELES – When it's trade deadline day in the NBA, there's no better place for a player to be than somewhere in the Pacific time zone.
With a mid-afternoon deadline established for the convenience of the league office in New York City, Spurs and Clippers were able to enjoy a hearty pre-game lunch without washing it down with antacids to battle nerves that a trade could be looming.
Before and after beating the Clippers for the first time this season, a thorough 116-90 domination in which point guard Tony Parker notched his 10th game of 30 or more points, the Spurs enjoyed the best record in the league, now 44-12.
It was San Antonio's 16th win in its last 17 games and its fifth straight. The Spurs are now 6-1 on the nine-game rodeo road trip.
And the Clippers? They've still won four of their last five games and are still putting some heat on both the Spurs and the second-place Oklahoma City Thunder in the Western race, though they must be smarting after Thursday's embarrassment on their home court.
Far from broken, there was no need to fix either team, though both did their due diligence.
"There just wasn't anything out there I thought made us better," said Spurs coach and president of basketball Gregg Popovich. "Everybody's on the phones, all the GMs. If there's something that can make your team better people do it. Obviously, we didn't think there was anything that could help us right now."
For sure the list of players Popovich would even consider taking in exchange for Parker would be extremely short and after Thursday's game it might even exclude Chris Paul, the All-Star Game MVP. Parker dominated his point guard matchup with Paul, finishing with 31 points and seven assists without playing in the fourth quarter or committing a turnover.
Paul scored just four points, had only three assists and turned the ball over three times.
"He's just been magnificent all year long," Popovich said. "He's led the way for us with the injuries to Manu (Goinobili) and Tim (Duncan) and the minutes they haven't been able to play He's really relished the situation and taken it on, responsibility-wise, and driven us on."
The blowout win allowed Popovich to give Parker, Duncan and Ginobili short court time. None of the Big Three played more than 28 minutes and Duncan logged just 16.
Duncan sat out the entire second and fourth quarters so he will be fresh for tonight's game against the Warriors. He found his role as spectator to Parker's brilliance gratifying.
"He was unbelievable," Duncan said. "He just continued to attack, continued to be aggressive, making plays, left and right. It was fun to watch. It was fun to watch the whole team clicking like that and playing such a good game, start to finish."
Popovich understands the tension that builds in the locker room until the deadline passes. Players who see their names in pre-deadline speculation welcomed its passing.
"I'm glad for that to be over so I can just play now and now worry about it," said Spurs swingman Stephen Jackson, playing for the first time since returning from personal leave to deal with a family issue. "I've been around a long time so I'm not the type of guy to sit around and dwell on it. It's a part of the game. I'm going to go out and do my job, but at the same time, it's always good to have it off your mind, especially with the team we have. We've got a chance to win a championship. Not everybody can just think about that.
"Even with DeJuan, he wasn't paying that much but he was thinking about it. Now everybody can just focus on the team and getting the job done."
Blair, a free agent-to-be who has made it clear he would like to be in a situation that offered more playing time, said he was happy to remain in silver and black.
"Why would I be disappointed?" he said. "Best record in the league. Of course I want to play but something will happen some day. I'm maintaining a professional approach and I'm happy to still be here."

Bruno Mars has released the title track and an accompanying video from his forthcoming album, "24K Magic" and it's everything the song title implies.
The clip finds Mars' and his posse partying in Las Vegas as few people can. Not only does the singer arrive in a private jet, cruise the strip in a convertible, and dance through the halls of a posh hotel, but he proceeds to ride a SeaDoo around the pool in front of the Bellagio—yes, the one with the giant fountains! Mars once again tapped Cameron Duddy to direct. Duddy was responsible for Mark Ronson's 'Uptown Funk' video featuring Mars.
24k Magic, Mars third full length album, is set to hit stores November 18.
Related: 3 Artists Bruno Mars Should Include on His New Album
The singer's last solo single, "Young Girls" dropped nearly three years ago in November 2013. His last featured appearance on Mark Ronson's "Uptown Funk" hit the airwaves in November 2014, and its cultural stamina has tided Bruno over for nearly two years. In February, that song earned a Record of the Year Grammy and secured a Super Bowl Halftime Show appearance alongside Coldplay and Beyoncé.
Check out the Mars' new video and album art below.

text: Would the Federation have put into place a contingency plan to use the Omega Molecule in and around Cardassian space? A last ditch effort to contain the Dominion to Cardassia. Or instead of mining the Federation side of the wormhole have an unmanned ship fly through the wormhole and detonate a few Omega molecules on the Dominion end. The damage done to subspace would make the wormhole useless for either the Dominion or the Federation since warp drive would no longer work for light years around the Dominion side. Make a big enough explosion and it would take the Dominion years, decades, a century or more to get through the damaged area to reach the Wormhole. Doing the same thing around Cardassia Prime, and any other worlds the Dominion is using would also basically stop the Dominion and Cardassian fleets. It would cut them off from the rest of the AQ. It would end the war. It would be, to say the least, a "Scorched Earth" policy. But would it work? For argument's sake, let's agree that the Federation can create and for a minute or two, keep stable an Omega Molecule.

Friday Five Hundred: Famous Dallas Designer's Home Jam-Packed With Style, Style, Style REDUCED TWO MINUTES AGO!
Published February 13, 2012 by Candy Evans
This Friday Five Hundred is just a little bit late because I was out cheatin' on my house before it got cold, finding you more House Porn! And lookie what I found lurking at 3914 Inwood Road: Perry Henderson's house! Just so happens this manicured puppy is on Open House Tour Sunday from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. News flash: the price has just been slashed to $575,000 from $650,000. In fact, MLS probably still says $650,000 because the numbers on this price change are so hot you need to blow on them.
This is the home of Dallas designer (and hairdresser) extraordinaire Perry Henderson. See those signature orchids – Perry's trademark. For years Perry was busy as a one-armed paperhanger balancing a blowdryer, his hair studio on Turtle Creek Boulevard, and his design projects—from the Highland Park home of Luke and Mary Crosland to Scott and Diane Sealy's 10,208-square-foot home on Hollow Way, a Cole Smith number probably with a new homeowner now, and a West Texas ranch for Claudia Settle, a world champion barrel racer, among many. He was the hairdresser to every socialite in town, from Margot Perot to Nancy Hamon. His clients and girls adore him. I enjoyed many a drink in this gorgeous living room, discussing the Dallas design world. Henderson loved to quote Allen Knight: "you just have to have staying power to survive in this business." Indeed.
Well, this home sure has staying power, as in, once you settle in you won't ever want to leave. Henderson spared not one dime when he decked this out. Double front doors open to a large open living area with brick walls, arched doorways, a beamed and vaulted ceiling, a fireplace, a chandelier and a wet bar. The back patio is an outdoor entertaining oasis with a slate deck, pool and spa, cabana and full bath. Brick, brick everywhere. The dining room features arched doorways, brick walls and a vaulted ceiling and large skylight. Not one but two spacious master suites, each with its own bath bath and fab storage. The kitchen has a large granite island with an Avanti wine refrigerator that I have helped empty, stainless-steel appliances including a Dynasty gas four-burner range and a Viking refrigerator, plus large skylight. The adjoining breakfast/morning room has a cozy fireplace.
Let's talk about the Elephant in the Room: Inwood Road. Not a problem, really. In fact, maybe a plus. The house is tucked far back on a large lot (72 by 176) with thick masquerading foliage. The living happens in the back, on that slate deck. And DCAD has discounted the property taxes. Can you think of a better lock and leave home for an empty nester couple who don't want a condo? You get 2721 gorgeous square feet, two bedrooms, two and a half baths, built in 1983. Get anywhere in five minutes! I did notice something curious, however, when I checked DCAD. The owners of this home are listed as Hamon Operating Company, as in the estate of the late Nancy Hamon. She surely didn't live here — Mrs. Hamon had a condominium at The Mansion Residences. You don't suppose, do you, that Nancy Hamon GAVE this house to Perry Henderson, as a tip? Now that's a really great haircut!

text: I am trying to put together a spreadsheet for the local high school girls' tennis coach. In the past they way tryouts went is that she would just rate the girls on whether or not they could get the ball in the court for forehands/backhands/serves/etc. So what would happen is that most of the girls would patty cake the ball in. What I am trying to get this spreadsheet to reflect is the overall picture and not just whether the ball was in or out. Based on that criteria what would you put into a rating system and what weight would you give each area. An example would be: Power 20% Accuracy 40% Consistency 40% Thanks!

I love when people say we have an easy schedule the rest of the way. No team is afraid of the Jets.
That's pathetic and completely disrespectful to every single person on that field and watching this game.
Tebow looks pretty pissed on the bench.
Collinsworth did a Patriots game vs New England. Very interesting.
I wish I could jump in a time machine, go back to '82, and become a Redskins or Niners fan or something.
If we cut Holmes, Harris and Scott whats the cap hit?
We are in at least a two year rebuild
What not take the hit and build
Why not trade Revis? Multiple picks

Sox-Yanks rivalry just got more intense
Boston up for challenge after Bombers' near-signing of Sabathia
By Ian Browne / MLB.com
It was a bit strange for the Red Sox that their fierce competition heading down the stretch and into October was with the Tampa Bay Rays, while the Yankees faded into the background. In 2009, the Bombers figure to be very much front and center again.
The Red Sox, as always, will be up for the challenge.
"We're probably going to face him six times a year for the next seven years," said manager Terry Francona. "There's 42 times. He's one of the premier pitchers in the game. I don't know him well, but I have come across him. I respect him a lot. What he did in Milwaukee at the end of the year, it's hard not to be a fan of his during that time, just because he took the ball every three days and all he had riding on it. He, obviously, put the team first. That was really impressive. Saying that, I hope he doesn't do it again."
American League MVP Dustin Pedroia knows the Yankees have money to spend.
"Their commitment to winning is just as important as ours is," said Pedroia. "We obviously knew that they were going to go out and get some of the top free agents. They definitely got a lot better today. We just have to worry about us and try to win games and keep everything focused on our team instead of other teams."
Then again, Sabathia will now be standing 60 feet and six inches from Boston hitters five or six times a year instead of the one or two when he was with the Indians.
"It definitely doesn't get easier," Pedroia said. "Especially facing a guy like CC -- he's got pretty dominant stuff. He's a bulldog on the mound. There's, obviously, respect throughout baseball of what he brings to the table, so it's definitely going to be a tough challenge every time he faces the Red Sox."
Of course, Boston general manager Theo Epstein is busy plotting his own offseason plans. Reports continue to surface that the Red Sox are heavily involved -- perhaps the favorites -- for Mark Teixeira, maybe the best position player on the market.
Though Pedroia is focused more on working out each day and having another big season, he can't help but keep tabs on the Hot Stove rumblings.
"I think everybody follows it," Pedroia said. "This time of year is a big part of next year and our future. I think everybody follows it, but that kind of stuff is out of our control. The only thing we can worry about is getting ourselves prepared to play a season. Let Theo and management do their job. They do that extremely well. We just sit back and watch and see what goes on."
While the players largely control the fate of the Red Sox from April through October, the front office has the stage in the winter months.
"Regardless of what other teams do, I know how Theo feels about what we're doing," said Francona. "I don't think he would let that affect how we go about our business. I don't think he'd ever do that. If it's right, he'll do what he thinks is right."
"I think that's the fun of the offseason," said Red Sox shortstop Jed Lowrie. "It's always fun during the year, because you're in the middle of the season, you're battling day in and day out. The fun of the offseason is the unknown -- to see what's gong to happen. Theo has probably got a few ideas up his sleeve, and we'll just all have to wait and see what happens."
One of the most bizarre occurrences of last season was when the Yankees finished the 2008 season with a three-game series at Fenway Park in which they were playing out the string. It's hard to imagine that type of scenario repeating itself with Sabathia on board and several other big additions likely to follow in a year the Yankees will be opening their new stadium.
"Obviously, the rivalry is more intense when both teams are competing for the AL East title," Lowrie said. "Clearly, with that size of contract, you're going to have a lot of responsibility coming into New York to pitch well for that team and especially coming off a year where they had so many injuries, just for him to stay healthy would be a big thing. There's no question that a guy like CC Sabathia coming in with the track record and the history that he had in the American League will be big. He's a quality starter that will make the Yankees a better team."
Not that the Yankees -- who missed the postseason for the first time since 1993 last season -- serving as a force is going to be any kind of eye-opener for the Red Sox.
"To be honest with you, the Yankees are always going to be there, with their commitment to winning," said Pedroia. "They're always going to be there. The Rays have gotten a ton better, and they went to the World Series last year. I think everybody is trying to catch them right now. The biggest thing is, our division is so tough. If you have a chance to win a game, you better win it."

Finally got to see this game today. Awesome. Loved it.
Biggest gripe with game: Ball goes off Chandler out of bounds and he has a hissy fit in the middle of the key turning to all 3 officials and they overturn the correct call (Raptors ball) to an incorrect call (WhineyBitch-icks ball).
Man re watched the highlights the last 2 days.... Kyle Lowry has BAWLLLS PG of the future. To everyone that misses Calderon I hope you know we would have lost these last close games, because he just doesnt impact the game at both ends.
i used to think Kat was hot and now shes kinda meh. But Holly for sure, anything as long as its not that creeper Rod Black
Just go to thefirstrow.eu > basketball > and your game should show up.
A lot easier, no disrespect.
Wanted to add my two cents about the game. Love the steals & the defense. Much nicer to see Rudy try to take over the third instead of waiting for the 4th qtr. Thought the Raptors were gonna snatch defeat from the jaws of victory....but Lowry's prayer went in. Hate the fact we let them back in the game.
Hate JL3 is taking to many shots. The 10 pts helps. the 4 -3 pt shots he missed came at a critical time & let the Knicks come back. This happens way to often. This is why i'm looking forward to seeing Telfair. JL3 can help you get the lead...but he can't help you keep it.
Big win

I am sure that I have shared this story before, but just in case I did not, I'd like to give it this slant.
One more word about the last post and the pictures supplied and the link I gave. I did borrow it from Mr Hoffman whom I met on line a few years ago. I wrote in English and he wrote in German. I used the translator to understand what he had to say.
He is a retired NATO member. He said and I could see that he was proud that he had much to do with doing away with the weapons of their country. Being as smart and educated as he is, he had a good command of English. I admit my ignorance of NATO and what it is about. I found him online possibly because of the German word deer and forest. I struck up conversation with him about hunting and the Göhrde forest. I was hoping to learn more about what could be at Oldendorf and the Göhrde in relation to the game hunting reserve there. I hoped to learn more and possibly eventually learn more about Hunting at Röthen. Even though he was into hunting, he couldn't tell me a whole lot, because he came from another area of the country. It wasn't as if he grew up there and heard many stories. Though I am sure if he attends local events, or hunts with locals, maybe some oldtimers may have told him a story or two.
I was impressed with his love of the adventure of hunting as he told me he was leaving soon to go Boar hunting in Czechoslovakia. It seems to me that he would be the most wonderful person that I would want in my company were I to hunt the edges of the great forests. [ If I were to visit Germany someday, his cabins is where I might want to stay a few nights.]
So relatives if your ever in the idea of hunting in Germany, especially in the area of our ancestors where they wandered these forests, you should consider staying at his lodgings Göhrdehof. He has more on it if you follow the link. Please do check it out.
I had noticed that his address said Neetzendorf and I was trying to get and idea of size and lay of the land. I asked him about Behrens and the Meyer family there. He said his daughter lives in USA out west. And after a little further writing on my part, he said if I faxed him a tree, he would give it to the MEYER and the BEHRENS since they were only a couple Yards from him. [ I still wonder what he meant by Yards. I think it must mean as we do in the city. It must mean someone is two houses over to their yard.]
I was curious whose home he took over, and he said it was his wifes Bergmann family, whom have lived there for a long time. Her name was BERGMANN. and Yes readers I have seen the name many a document including one of my own. And did I reveal that, your thinking it right, of course I did! I intend to write to her again later, when I have compiled Bergman Information.
Now to get on with it.
I or We only corresponded with the one of the two Herman Behrens family in Neetzendorf. The Behrens family responded that they didn't know? I later sent them a whole bundle of document copies. [I was hoping the two were related to each other and would share it. I regret not sending to both Behrens.] And the Meyer family at Neetzendorf said that they did not know either. That the keeper of their ancestor information was a Werner SCHUHE. and that most of the names always had the name with Heinrich. Our seem to as well. It was hard to tell with some of them, cause I only had two names to work with. Johan Juergen Meyer- Heinrich Christoph Meyer's son.
You have to remember that according to the church documents, [ which is all I have to work with,] the Juergen Friedrich Meyer (geb. 1814) must have moved to Eichdorf to marry Cathrina Margarethea Luhmann. I think the mother or father may have followed him at different times. His other brother had gone to Himbergen [county] Uelzen, married, had children and died there. The youngest surviving other brothers where abouts and family is uknown to me.
So now you see why I have a special place in my heart for the kind Mr. Hoffmann of Neetzendorf, who owns a little hunting / lodging business in the home area of our Ancestors.
Note: I did try to find 'Werner Schuhe'. it is not so easy to find a Werner Schuhe with Schuhe standing for shoe. I should mention though that our M& M in Fairmont did say we had the familien name Shoe in the family.
Note: You know I suspect that our M & M in Fairmont may have read some of the German books of the area including those in old script. He may have read Charlotte Wodaege's book on Dahlenburg or he even may have had a copy of Heinrich Borstelmann's book about the inhabitants of the villages of Bleckede, which is to be my next post.
At my next posts you will be surprised to see how often the name Bergman and other familiar surnames come up and then too the village Neetzendorf.

That's a quite arrogant remark to make.Individual wrote: It includes a lot of superstitious beliefs and seems foolishly concerned with devotion to and unification with a supreme divinity, but you could say the same of quite a few Mahayana Buddhist groups also.
When they speak about unifying with a supreme deity like Brahma, do you think those yogis assume it to be a big guy with a beard in heaven?
For example, 'Brahma' in some contexts means 'purity' and in that sense unifying with the 'ultimate purity', whether you represent it symbolically with artwork and make offerings to it or not, would encourage the practitioner to rid themselves of desires and devote themselves to meditation.
You really don't know much, Individual. You should cease making such foolish remarks and actually sit down and do your research before uttering such offensive things.

I doubt that the following sentence.
China and India could have the greatest impact on stopping global warming.
In my opinion, when used with the phrase "have an impact on", the subject of the clause should be more specific, and "on stopping global warming" seems strange to me.
I should rewrite this: China and India would play a key role in global warming." or"China and India would be more responsible for global warming."
I'd appreciate it if you could answer me, and I'd like to know you great teachers' opinions.
Yes...the first is better I think. Both countries are in a period of rapid industrial growth and increasingly, the world's production is being moved to Asia. There is therefore a danger that a serious increase in global warming could easily happen if these manufacturers don't keep their production methods "clean". since they are increasingly responsible for world production, they could easily reduce global warming if they so desired.

In addition to "The Twilight Saga," Taylor Lautner has a slew of high profile projects in the works – "Stretch Armstrong" and "Abduction" – and the actor says he's hoping to develop a lasting career on the big screen like another one of Hollywood's leading men.
"[The] Tom Cruise model," he told GQ in its July issue when asked about whose career he'd like to emulate.
Despite his success with "Twilight," the 18-year-old star said he doesn't think about box office totals while he works.
"I can't get caught up in that," he told the mag. "If I start thinking, 'Is this movie going to open? Is this movie going to do well?' I'm not focusing on the job. The job is to make a good movie."
VIEW THE PHOTOS: 'Twilight' Heartthrob: Taylor Lautner
Taylor might be an adult now – he turned 18 in February – and arguably Hollywood's biggest teen star, but the actor still prefers living a fairly simple life in his family's home in Valencia, Calif., just north of LA.
"The thing I love is that my home life hasn't changed," he explained. "I still help out with the garbage. I still help out with the lawn."
His home life might be same, but Taylor's stardom appears to have changed his hometown.

"There's some things you just have to live with," the actor told the mag. "Like 12 cars camping outside your house, and when you wake up in the morning, they're going to follow you wherever you go. It helps that I live in Valencia. It eliminates some. But they're still here."
Taylor's newest movie, "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse," opens in theaters on June 30.

Wow. I'm sure no matter what team you like, I'm sure everyone will feel bad for Brandon Roy. He was a great player, a great leader, could have been one of the best. He was one of my favorite players and it is a huge loss for the Trail Blazers. I wonder what is his plan for the future.

The next season of "The Ultimate Fighter" debuts on Sept. 14 on FX. But ahead of that, arguably the most famous "TUF" veteran in history gets his own special.
The 90-minute documentary special, "Forrest Griffin: The Ultimate Fighter," airs tonight at 11 p.m. ET on FUEL TV. Replays air Friday at 10 p.m. ET and Sunday at 9 p.m. ET.
The show chronicles Griffin's life, from his childhood in Georgia to his rise to fame on Season 1 of "The Ultimate Fighter" to ultimately winning the UFC light heavyweight title.
Griffin (19-7 MMA, 10-5 UFC) is coming off a split-decision win over Tito Ortiz in the pair's trilogy bout at UFC 148 this past July. Next up for the Las Vegas resident, he'll have a rematch with Chael Sonnen (28-12-1 MMA, 6-5 UFC) at UFC 155 on Dec. 29. Griffin beat Sonnen with a first-round submission nearly nine years ago in a regional promotion.
UFC 155 will take place in Las Vegas and will be headlined by a heavyweight title fight between champion Junior Dos Santos and former champ Cain Velasquez.
Griffin was one of the more colorful characters on Season 1 of "The Ultimate Fighter" and reached the first live finale on Spike TV against Stephan Bonnar. Their fight resulted in a close unanimous decision win for Griffin, earning him a six-figure UFC contract. But Bonnar received one too, and their back-and-forth war still is considered among the best fights in UFC history – and the one that put the UFC into the mainstream vernacular.
Griffin started his career 3-0 in the UFC before dropping a split decision to Ortiz in their first meeting at UFC 59. But he went 3-1 after that, including an upset of Mauricio "Shogun" Rua that got him a shot at then-champ Quinton "Rampage" Jackson at UFC 86.
Griffin beat Jackson to win the light heavyweight title by unanimous decision in a fight widely regarded as "Fight of the Year" for 2008. But he lost it in his first defense against Rashad Evans at UFC 92.

EE Times' 20 hot technologies for 2012
57 comments post a comment
What follows is a list of 20 technologies EE Times editors think can bring big changes, and that we will be tracking in 2012.
What follows is a list of 20 technologies EE Times editors think can bring big changes, and that we will be tracking during 2012.
Given the pace of technological change, limiting our list to 20 topics doesnt really do the subject justice but in many ways our chosen topics embrace numerous others. Technology does not exist in a vacuum. Ideas behind each technology are interconnected both conceptually and sometimes physically through engineers, consumers, companies, events and market trends.
The significance can sometimes be as simple as how a well-turned phrase catches the essence of a technology sector, such as the way system-on-chip (SoC) replaced application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) as a descriptor, a decade ago. For instance, is todays "Internet of Things" the same or different from machine-to-machine communications? Whichever buzz phrase we choose, the key is whether the technology will enable products to succeed and markets to grow.
The pictures used with the topics are not necessarily new in 2011 but examples from the past that illustrate why we think these technologies will flourish in the future
Speaking of flourishing, if we have learned one thing from this year of natural and economic disasters, it is that there are always areas within electronics and semiconductors that can grow rapidly even when the overall market growth is limited. And those hot areas are enabled by hot technologies like these.
MEMSIC's no-moving-parts MEMS accelerometer uses a heater to raise the temperature of central column of air, while thermocouples around the edge indicate acceleration as a change in temperature
They include: environmental sensors such as pressure and humidity sensors and silicon microphones; inertial sensors including accelerometers and gyroscopes; inkjets and microfluidics; microactuators including micromirror devices and displays; RF MEMS; Micro-optoelectromechanical systems (MOEMS); bioelectronic probes and substrates.

text: Okay. So, lets talk ported choke tubes. Ported choke tubes are supposed to reduce recoil, increase accuracy, and lets face it they look pretty sweet. In your opinion, are there any benefits? What about downfalls? Do ported choke tubes work differently with different shot sizes or metal? Do they work better at longer or short ranges?

The Best Skirt Style For Your Body Type
From envelope minis and bodycon pencil skirts to sweeping midis and structured flounce skirts, there's a whole wide world of skirts out there. But which one looks best on your body shape? We've got the answers ahead.
If you're an Apple (slim lower body, carry weight around your middle) you look fantastic in high-waisted flouncy skirts.
The waistband will hit at the smallest part of the torso and flare out over the stomach, masking the mid-section. Lastly, the short hemline will show off slender legs.
Photo courtesy of Viva Luxury
There's a reason apple-shaped women gravitate to pleated skirts like this ice blue one; they create structure to camouflage the stomach.
Cameo Gerome Skirt ($138)
We may be getting ahead of ourselves, but we think we just found your new favorite going out skirt.
Parker Filomena Leather Skirt ($330)
We're all about this skirt's structured silhouette and on-trend sporty vibe.
Modern Citizen Mesh Skater Skirt ($64)
If you're a Banana (waist, hip, and shoulders are all about the same width), you look fantastic in body-conscious mini skirts.
A form-fitting skirt will emphasize any curves you do have, and the short hemline will show off your slim legs.
Photo courtesy of Sincerely Jules
A patterned mini skirt, like this polka dot one, is your best bet. The print will draw attention to your bottom-half, creating the illusion of curves.
LOFT Tiny Dot Shift Skirt ($50)
All you need is a black tank to pair with this intricate beaded skirt. Your girls' night out outfit never looked so good.
Needle & Thread Geo Sundown Embellished Crepe Mini Skirt ($280)
If you're an Hourglass (curvy, with a well-defined waist) you look fantastic in pencil skirts.
A pencil skirt accentuates your curves, smoothing out thighs.
Photo courtesy of Karla's Closet
The fitted high-waist on this pencil skirt will ensure your tiny waist is the center of attention.
Cameo Pink Matter Pencil Skirt ($132)
Pencil skirts usually conjure images of office outfits, but this leopard denim version is perfect for the weekend.
Current/Elliott The Soho Zip Stiletto Pencil Skirt ($188)
For those seeking a dramatic way to flaunt their curves, look no farther than this lace skirt. The peplum stands out from the body, making your waist seem even thinner in proportion to your hips.
ONE by Cameo Rampart Skirt ($174)
If you're a Pear (hips are the widest part of your body) you look fantastic in A-line skirts.
An A-line skirt highlights the smallest part of your waist, and flares out over hips, minimizing the width of your bottom half.
Photo courtesy of Atlantic-Pacific
Midi skirts aren't going anywhere for spring, and since the trend was practically made for your body type, we recommend you strike while the iron is hot with this striped version.
JOA Striped Skirt ($88, more sizes here)
This might just be the prettiest print we've seen in a while.
M Missoni Micro Vertical Fan-Stitch Skirt ($645)
What's your favorite skirt style to wear? Let us know in the comments below!

Hi all,
Ok I hope I can explain this, as I am pretty confused myself.
I am reading the book 'Build Your Own Database Driven Website Using PHP & MySQL'. I installed WAMP, then installed Apache, PHP & MySQL, seperately (like in the book). After using them for a little while I decided to unistall everything and just use WAMP. Since reinstalling WAMP (about 5 times) I still have acces denied to phpMyAdmin (attachment 1) and my localhost shows a page containing the words 'It works!' (attachment 2).
I'm hoping someone here can help me sort this out, as I said I'm a bit confused at what's going on, and I'm fairly new to this.
UNinstall everything - specifically your individual daemons AND WAMP. Restart your computer (to clear the services). Reinstall. I'm not a fan of "canned programs" but WAMP should then reinstall everything.
The problem you've displayed is that you don't have a root password in MySQL so PHPMyAdmin can't function. Be sure you enter a password (for MySQL when asked.
Thanks for the reply.
OK, this may sound like a bit of a silly question but how do I delete daemons?
I have uninstalled everything that I can, but I might have missed something. I reinstalled WAMP, and phpMyAdmin is working but I still have the 'It works!' page for my localhost.
It sounds like you are OK now.
The "It works" page is just there to show you that the apache server is up. You need to setup a virtual host to point to your site. I don't know if WAMP comes with Webmin? But Webmin is really great for helping to administrate apache; however, I don't want to confuse you, so if WAMP provides a way for you to change/add/delete new websites then you need to make the relevant changes there.
Yea it seems like everything is working but I guess the thing that is annoying me, is when I was using WAMP on it's own the localhost was showing up WAMP's homepage, with server configuration etc. Then (after a few months) I had installed Apache, MySQL & PHP just like in the book, and that way when running Apache it showed the 'it works' page.
As I said I'm kinda new to this, but what I am trying to achieve now is to have the WAMP homepage up instead of the 'it works' page (which I have no idea how to do).
Probably the easiest way is to navigate in the file manager to your WAMP directory (default is c:\wamp\www). Open you will see your site files and folders inside this directory. Copy these files and folders and then navigate to your www directory in the path that apaches public or www directory is in the "How to ..." book. You may have to rewrite the permissions depending on what WAMP had mapped the files and folders and what permissions exist on your regular Apache install.
I've just created a sub folder (test-wamp) with an index.html file inside, in the wamp/www/ directory and that seems to work.
I've typed in localhost/test-wamp/ in the browser and my html file is showing up. So it looks like the directory is still wamp/www/ but I don't know which file to edit to get rid of the 'it works' page and show the default index.php page which was there when I reinsalled WAMP.
I hope I'm not being too annoying.
The 'It Works' page is a single .html file located in your htdocs folder. You have two options:
[LEFT]<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1>
 ServerName localhost
 DocumentRoot 'C:\\wamp\\www\\my_site_folder'
</VirtualHost>[/LEFT]
You then need to save the http.conf and restart apache. You can restart apache using the WAMP tools, or you may want to try the command line
exec("C:\\wamp\\wampmanager.exe -restart");
exec("C:\\wamp\\wampmanager.exe -restart");
or restart your computer.
BTW, you are not too annoying, SitePoint is a place for people to learn and share knowledge. You have some challenges that you are trying to sort out, you demonstrate that you are trying to troubleshoot the problem yourself. Feel free to ask more questions if we can be of service.

Thanks, yet again.
I looked in httpd.conf and the only code I found that looked like it needed to be changed was:
ServerRoot "c:/wamp/bin/apache/apache2.2.22"
I changed it to - ServerRoot "c:/wamp/www/" and restarted, but it wouldn't work (WAMP stayed in orange colour).
After a bit of messing around, I typed 'localhost/index.php' into the browser and it's showing the WAMP homepage. So I think I'm happy enough with that, it's all working, not exactly how I wanted it, but it's working.
Thanks for your help Steve.
Also in the httpd.conf file I saw these, looks like all other directories are pointing to c:/wamp/www/
ServerName localhost:80DocumentRoot "c:/wamp/www/"<Directory "c:/wamp/www/">
I run apache and mysql in Linux, so I am not that familiar with the WAMP configuration although a little more familiar with LAMP which is similar. When trying to help I search in google for WAMP a virtualhost configuration and most links I found seemed to refer to a section in the http.conf that contain at least one host directive; normally in Linux installs the virtual host and host directives are at the bottom of the conf. You are likely to find the directive that maps to the host there somewhere.
If you have not already done so, I would recommend that you restore the ServerRoot "c:/wamp/bin/apache/apache2.2.22" as this is mapping to the apache executable, without this if you reboot your machine you may find that WAMP doesn't work at all as it won't be able to find this executable to start.I found this thread Creating Virtual Hosts on WAMP Server where the blog suggests that you will find the host configuration in C:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.2.11\conf\extra and open the file "httpd-vhosts.conf". If this is true in your WAMP install then you will likely find the existing host directive there.
Yea I have changed the ServerRoot back to what it was. I looked in C:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.2.22\conf\extra\httpd-vhost.conf and changed some of the code like it says in that link you gave me, but still ends up with the 'It works' html page.
Thanks for all your help, I'm sure if I was more knowledgable about this stuff, I would have sorted it a lot sooner.
Yes the conf file you attached is not causing the wrong route as these are both bogus virtual host settings. Can you trace in your WAMP's http.conf where the virtual host or any host directives are located? Can you also open your tasks and then switch to the processes view and post a screen shot of the apache processes that are currently active? Can you also go into the admin interface of WAMP and select the http.conf their and scroll to the bottom of this file and copy any virtual host items that you can see?
Hi Steve,
Thanks for replying, I was away all weekend and couldn't get to my PC. I have just started up WAMP and clicked localhost and now it's on the WAMP server homepage. I haven't changed anything since I was last on. (Not that I can recall anyway).
Looks like it's all sorted now.
Thanks for your help Steve, really appreciate it.
Just another quick question. It's to do with the database upload size in phpMyAdmin.
It was set at about 2MB. I found this on the internet:
Find:post_max_size = 8Mupload_max_filesize = 2Mmax_execution_time = 30max_input_time = 60memory_limit = 8M
Change to:post_max_size = 750Mupload_max_filesize = 750Mmax_execution_time = 5000max_input_time = 5000memory_limit = 1000M
I went to the php.ini file located in the wamp folder - wamp/bin/php/php5.3.13/ (changed it and nothing happened)
I eventually changed the php.ini file through the WAMP icon at the bottom of the screen and now it works (I can upload my db which was over 2MB). Is that strange or normal?
Hi Allan,
Did you restart the Apache service after your changed the php.ini file in the WAMP folder? The actions connected to your WAMP icon will restart the service after you make a change.
The other possibility is that you may be using another php.ini file because of your earlier install of Apache using the book's method. If you create a php info page - WAMP may have one built in - you can check for the path that is being used for php. You will find this next to the 'Loaded Configuration File'. You may need to create an info page to do this:
There is a phpinfo() page already installed with WAMP. I've looked at it and the directory under 'Loaded Configuration File' is different to the php.ini file I had changed.
Here is the 'Loaded Configuration File' path - C:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.2.22\bin\php.ini
The file I had changed was C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.3.13\php.ini
Thanks Steve. It's helping me understand where everything is and how it works. Does it matter that both those php.ini files are changed (they're both the same anyway).
Only the php.ini file listed in your WAMP phpinfo() page, the other php.ini is not doing anything )other than confusing you ). The Apache configuration files define the path to what php.ini file is used at any given time.
Glad this becoming clearer for you!

Competition Begins in Scheveningen, Holland
With an early start brought on by an 8:30 rider's meeting, competitors filtered onto the event site, ready to begin the first day with full commitment and enthusiasm. As wind proved to be light, all competitors waited over the next several hours for the hope of stronger wind. The men's freestyle trials gained first priority, with the possibility of racing later in the day. While riders chilled in the official "lounge area", taking advantage of the plush chairs, endless red bull, and computer time, others chose to catch up on sleep and socialize. While waiting, current World Champion, Youri Zoon commented that he is very excited to be competing in his home country, where he is familiar with the conditions and can even go home after each day of competition – a welcome change after months of hotels stays and suitcase living.
Many were surprised to see such light winds on this day of expected strong conditions; however, not far into the afternoon the winds began to appear stronger and more consistently, allowing trials to begin at around 2:15. This turning point almost immediately followed a classic Holland downpour of hail and rain, which pushed competitors and beachgoers inside the huge O'Neill tents and lounges.
While the morning progressed slowly, once trials commenced it became clear why this location was chosen as a premier PKRA World Tour kiteboarding destination. The wind blew in a range of 15 knots for trials, only fluctuating slightly. At this point, onlookers watched as the talented competitors performed at their highest abilities. Riders such as Stefan Spiessberger (AUT), Ewan Jaspan (AUS), and Bas Koole (NED) advanced early on, while Reno Romeu (BRA) and Eudazio Da Silva (BRA) moved into the single elimination final as well. In particular, Liam Whaley (ESP), Johnno Sholte (NED), and Michael Schitzhofer (AUT) performed especially well, exhibiting ideal speed, power, and execution in the majority of their maneuvers.
With consistent wind blowing at around 14-16 knots, the competition was able to move into the first round of single eliminations around 6:15pm. In these heats, Schitzhofer, Patrick Blanc (ESP), and Sam Light (UK) initially advanced with a wide array of Blind Judges, S-Bends, and L3s – setting an impressive precedent for the heats to come in the following days. In the later end of the first round, riders struggled with gustier and windier conditions, making it even more challenging to gain big points.
For tomorrow, both racing and single eliminations are likely to run. The forecast looks stronger than today, with wind gusts expected to reach the high teens.

All the living American presidents past and present gathered in Dallas Thursday, a rare reunion to salute one of their own at the dedication of the George W. Bush Presidential Center.
Profound ideological differences and a bitter history of blaming each other for the nation's woes will give way -- if just for a day -- to pomp and pleasantries Thursday as the five members of the most exclusive club in the world appear publicly together for the first time in years.
"There was a time in my life I wasn't likely to be found at a library, let alone founded one," Bush said. "For eight years, you gave me the honor of serving as your president. I'm honored to dedicate this library to the American people.
"When future generations come to this library and study this administration, they're going to find out that we stayed true to our convictions. When our freedom came under attack, we made the tough decisions required to keep the American people safe."
Bush was particularly thankful that his parents -- including former President George H.W. Bush -- were there.
"This is the first time in American history that parents have seen their son's presidential library," George W. Bush said. "Mother, I promise to keep my area clean.
"Dad taught me how be a president, and before that, he taught me how to be a man, and 41, it is awesome that you are here today."
For the younger Bush, 66, the ceremony also marks his unofficial return to the public eye four years after the end of his deeply polarizing presidency.
On the sprawling, 23-acre university campus north of downtown Dallas housing his presidential library, museum and policy institute, Bush was honored by the two surviving Democratic presidents, Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter. President Barack Obama, fresh off a fundraiser for Democrats the night before, also spoke.
"This is a Texas-sized party, and that's worthy of what we're here to do today: honor the life and legacy of the 43rd president of the United States, George W. Bush," Obama said, when he took the stage in Dallas Thursday morning to honor the former president.
In a reminder of his duties as the current Oval Office inhabitant, Obama will travel to Waco in the afternoon for a memorial for victims of last week's deadly fertilizer plant explosion.
Key moments and themes from Bush's presidency -- the harrowing, the controversial and the inspiring -- weren't far removed from the minds of the presidents and guests assembled to dedicate the center, where interactive exhibits invite scrutiny of Bush's major choices as president, such as the financial bailout, the Iraq War and the international focus on HIV and AIDS.
On display is the bullhorn that Bush, near the start of his presidency, used to punctuate the chaos at ground zero three days after 9/11. Addressing a crowd of rescue workers amid the ruins of the World Trade Center, Bush said: "I can hear you. The rest of the world hears you. And the people who knocked these buildings down will hear all of us soon."
"Memories are fading rapidly, and the profound impact of that attack is becoming dim with time," Bush told The Associated Press earlier this month. "We want to make sure people remember not only the lives lost and the courage shown, but the lesson that the human condition overseas matters to the national security of our country."
More than 70 million pages of paper records. Two hundred million emails. Four million digital photos. About 43,000 artifacts. Bush's library features the largest digital holdings of any of the 13 presidential libraries under the auspices of the National Archives and Records Administration, officials said. Situated in a 15-acre urban park at Southern Methodist University, the center includes 226,000 square feet of indoor space.
A full-scale replica of the Oval Office as it looked during Bush's tenure sits on the campus, as does a piece of steel from the World Trade Center. In the museum, visitors can gaze at a container of chads -- the remnants of the famous Florida punch card ballots that played a pivotal role in the contested 2000 election that sent Bush to Washington.
Take a look inside the George W. Bush Presidential Library and Center in this gallery.
Former first lady Laura Bush led the design committee, officials said, with a keen eye toward ensuring that her family's Texas roots were conspicuously reflected. Architects used local materials, including Texas Cordova cream limestone and trees from the central part of the state, in its construction.
The public look back on the tenure of the nation's 43rd president comes as Bush is undergoing a coming-out of sorts after years spent in relative seclusion, away from the prying eyes of cameras and reporters that characterized his two terms in the White House and his years in the Texas governor's mansion before that. As the library's opening approached, Bush and his wife embarked on a round-robin of interviews with all the major television networks, likely aware that history's appraisal of his legacy and years in office will soon be solidifying.
An erroneous conclusion that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction, a bungling of the federal government's response to Hurricane Katrina and a national debt that grew much larger under his watch stain the memory of his presidency for many, including Obama, who won two terms in the White House after lambasting the choices of its previous resident. But on Wednesday, Obama staunchly defended Bush's commitment to the America's well-being while addressing Democratic donors.
"Whatever our political differences, President Bush loves this country and loves his people and shared that same concern, and is concerned about all people in America," Obama said. "Not just some. Not just those who voted Republican."
There's at least some evidence that Americans are warming to Bush's presidency four years after he returned to his ranch in Crawford, even if they still question his judgment on Iraq and other issues. While Bush left office with an approval rating of 33 percent, that figure has climbed to 47 percent -- about equal to Obama's own approval rating, according to a Washington Post-ABC News poll released ahead of the library opening.
Bush pushed forcefully but unsuccessfully for the type of sweeping immigration overhaul that Congress, with Obama's blessing, is now pursuing. And his aggressive approach to counterterrorism may be viewed with different eyes as the U.S. continues to be touched by acts of terrorism.
Although museums and libraries, by their nature, look back on history, the dedication of Bush's library also offers a few hints about the future, with much of the nation's top political brass gathered in the same state. Clinton's wife, Hillary Rodham Clinton, stoked speculation about her own political future Wednesday in a Dallas suburb when she delivered her first paid speech since stepping down as secretary of state earlier this year. And Bush talked up the presidential prospects of his brother, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, in an interview that aired Wednesday on ABC.
"He doesn't need my counsel, because he knows what it is, which is, `Run,"' Bush said.
However, former first lady Barbara Bush is brushing aside talk of a Jeb Bush run for the White House.
Appearing in an interview Thursday on NBC's "Today" show, Mrs. Bush was asked how she felt about Jeb, the former governor of Florida, seeking the presidency in 2016.
"We've had enough Bushes," she said.
She still called her son "by far the best-qualified man," but went on to say she thought there were many worthy candidates.
Obama, too, may have his own legacy in mind. He's just a few years out from making his own decision about where to house his presidential library and the monument to his legacy.

NASDVA Joins Fully Developed Claims Community of Practice
August 8, 2013
Effort Aimed at Promoting Use of Fully Developed Claims to Deliver Timely Benefits
WASHINGTON – The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) today welcomed the National Association of State Directors of Veterans Affairs (NASDVA) to the Fully Developed Claims (FDC) Community of Practice (CoP), which was established in May to speed the processing of Veterans' disability compensation claims by promoting the early submission of all available evidence needed by VA to reach a disability rating decision. NASDVA joins Veteran Service Organizations, the American Legion and Disabled American Veterans, who are charter members of the community.
"We're thrilled NASDVA is part of the effort to increase the number of Veterans filing fully developed claims so that earned benefits can be delivered faster," said Under Secretary for Benefits Allison A. Hickey. "State Veterans Affairs offices help many thousands of Veterans across the country each year to get the benefits they deserve, and their support is critical in in meeting our goal of processing all claims within 125 days in 2015."
Claims are considered "fully developed" when Veterans submit all available supporting evidence, such as private treatment records, at the time they first file a formal claim and certify they have no additional evidence to submit. VA can typically complete FDCs in half the time of traditionally filed claims.
Last week, VA announced that Veterans filing an FDC may be entitled to up to one year of retroactive disability benefits. The retroactive benefits, which are in effect Aug. 6, 2013, through Aug. 5, 2015, are a result of a comprehensive legislative package passed by Congress and signed into law by President Obama last year.
"I strongly encourage all states to embrace a claims culture that is centered on FDCs," said NASDVA President W. Clyde Marsh in a letter to members. "In order to make a huge impact on reducing the nation's claims backlog, it will take a collective effort with NASDVA, Veterans Service Organizations (VSOs), the Veterans Benefits Administration (VBA) and Veterans."
NASDVA has encouraged its member states to participate in FDC workshops at VA regional offices and to make a specific commitment to increase the percentage of FDCs submitted in their states (www.benefits.va.gov/fdc).
NASDVA is made up of directors and commissioners overseeing state-run Veterans programs and represents all fifty states, the District of Columbia, American Samoa, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands.
Veterans can learn more about disability benefits on the joint Department of Defense-VA web portal eBenefits at www.ebenefits.va.gov.

Why Veterans Should Be Angry With Google
Google proudly announced it's launching a special search engine to help veterans find jobs. That's a nice way to support returning servicemen. It's also a sop. The real way Google should help veterans is to pay its damned taxes.
"We're happy to contribute to this important initiative and hope businesses use this opportunity to connect with veterans seeking employment," Google wrote in announcing the new search, which will live on the new National Resource Directory website, a veteran job bank created by the Obama administration.
While it's working with Google through one department, the executive branch is cracking down though another: The Internal Revenue Service is auditing Google's international scheme to minimize its taxes, estimated by Bloomberg News to save the company around $1 billion per year.
Google shifts its intellectual property to offshore units, then licenses it back from within the U.S., effectively moving profits to low tax havens abroad. "The agency is bringing more than typical scrutiny to how the company valued software rights and other intellectual property it licensed," a source tells Bloomberg.
Google should have known better; GlaxoSmithKline Plc paid $3.4 billion to settle an investigation into a similar scheme several years ago. But, hey, GlaxoSmithKline probably didn't set up a nifty little search engines to help veterans comb desperately through job listings that are bereft of teacher, firefighter and infrastructure jobs because Congress would rather spend money on corporate tax breaks for Google and other hugely profitable companies than spend money on the president's jobs plan for ordinary people. At least Google gestures toward being a non evil corporation.

EPR™ reactor: the very high power reactor (1,650 MWe)
Safety and operational performance are the key strengths of the EPR™ reactor. This pressurized water model is also the first generation III+ reactor to be deployed on an international scale, being built in three different countries.
The EPR™ reactor has an electrical production capacity of more than 1650 MWe, which places it among the most powerful reactors in the world. A direct descendant of previous models manufactured by AREVA, the EPR™ pressurized water reactor is based on tried-and-tested technologies and principles. It is classified as a generation III+ reactor due to the level of safety obtained and the economic savings that it achieves in relation to the earlier models.
From a safety point of view, the EPR™ reactor ensures an unequalled safety level thanks to a drastic reduction of the probability of severe accidents as well as of their consequences on the environment. In addition, it is particularly resistant to external incidents (airplane crashes, etc.).
Economically, it achieves an unrivalled level of competitiveness because electricity production costs are reduced by 10%, compared with current plants. It also produces less waste.
It is currently under construction in Finland (Olkiluoto), in France (Flamanville) and in China (2 units in Taishan), and is currently undergoing certification in the United States and the United Kingdom.
Safety, Competitiveness, Flexibility
- Unrivalled level of safety: Resistance to plane crashes and seismic vibrations; quadruple safety device redundancy; core meltdown risk further reduced and minimization of the consequences from such an accident thanks to a special compartment isolating the molten core.
- Active and passive safety systems : designed as an extension of the Konvoi (Siemens) and N4 (AREVA) reactors, the EPR™ reactor combines active and passive safety systems to increase safety and provide better process control over plant operation
- High power: The power output of the EPR™ reactor originates from the size of its larger core, which is capable of holding more fuel, and its advanced nuclear steam supply system comprising 4 primary coolant loops.
- Reduced operating costs: Reduction in fuel consumption and easier system maintenance.
- Maximized electrical production through reliable components, proven technologies and maintenance during operation, permitting shorter unit outages.
- Environmental protection: Reduction in fuel consumption per kWh and production of long-life waste products (-15%), through improved thermal efficiency and uranium utilization.
- An unrivalled experience on large projects: AREVA is the only manufacturer to benefit from 40 years continuous experience in the design and construction of nuclear power plants; there are three programs for construction of EPR™ plants underway, enabling AREVA to gather unrivalled experience; almost all primary circuit components are designed and manufactured by AREVA.
Innovation for performance
Two innovations contribute to the EPR™ reactor's high thermal efficiency:
- Steam generators with an axial economizer provide increased steam pressure and noticeably increase the reactor's thermal efficiency. This components were developed and tested in the N4 type reactors.
- A neutron reflector surrounding the core reduces fuel consumption by limiting neutron leakage. It increases the lifespan of the reactor pressure vessel by limiting its irradiation and its embrittlement.
Service life: 60 years
- Load follow: between 60 and 100% nominal output, the EPR™ reactor can adjust its power output at a rate of 5% nominal power per minute at constant temperature, preserving the service life of the components and of the plant.
- A varied choice of fuels: An EPR™ power plant can operate with uranium enriched up to 5%, reprocessed uranium or MOX fuel (in variable proportions according to customer needs and up to 100%).
- Irradiation cycle: fuel cycle length possibility between 12 and 24 months, for better management of a power plant fleet.

U.S. Sen. Scott Brown held a press conference this morning in Brockton in which Brown called on Ecuador to return alleged murderer Luis Guaman, who is charged in the murders of a mother and her toddler child in Brockton last year. Two videos here.
Nearly 14 months after their gruesome murders, Maria Emelia Palaguachi still holds out hope that justice will be done for her slain sister and her sister's 2-year-old son.
"They should make justice and bring Luis Guaman back here," Palaguachi told The Enterprise on Monday through a translator, referring to the man accused of bludgeoning Maria Avelina Palaguachi-Cela, 25, and her son, Brian Palaguachi, 2.
She spoke just hours after U.S. Sen. Scott Brown, R-Mass., made a public appeal to have alleged murderer Luis Guaman returned to the U.S. to face trial in the double homicide.
The victims' bodies were found in a trash bin behind their Warren Avenue home on Feb. 13, 2011. Guaman fled to his native Ecuador under a false passport shortly after the killings and has been held under various charges in Ecuadorian jails.
Brown called for the United States to withhold U.S. aid to Ecuador if that country does not extradite Guaman back to Brockton.
"If you want our aid and you want our assistance, then you at least have to adhere to the treaties that are in place," said Brown, who was flanked by city and county law enforcement leaders at the press conference.
Experts lauded Brown's appeal but said his threat to reduce foreign aid may be unrealistic.
"He's representing the interests of his constituents and he's using his very public persona to try and affect some change here," said political science professor Peter Ubertaccio, director of Stonehill College's Martin Institute.
A grand jury indicted Guaman, 41, in the murders in May 2011, and Plymouth County District Attorney Timothy Cruz has made numerous attempts to bring Guaman back to Massachusetts, including issuing an Interpol warrant.
"As of this point, they have not responded to our formal requests for extradition," Cruz said Monday.
Cruz said Guaman, sentenced in Ecuador to eight months in prison on fake passport charges and then held an additional six months as the country considered murder charges, could get out soon.
"It's hard to tell," said Assistant District Attorney Bridget Norton Middleton, when asked Guaman's status. "They don't communicate directly with us. They go through the State Department."
The United States sent $57.4 million to Ecuador between 2009 and 2010, including military aid, support to combat the drug trade and money to protect endangered species. Brown's office provided the figure, from USAID.
Ubertaccio, of Stonehill College, and political science professor Michael Kryzanek, of Bridgewater State University, agreed that reducing foreign aid would be complicated because of the multiple reasons for it.
"This is one piece of a complex puzzle," Kryzanek said.
Ubertaccio said, more likely, Brown's pressure could push the State Department to do more. Brown drafted a letter, dated April 2, to U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, asking her support in getting Guaman extradited.
But, Kryzanek said, "There's nothing in the public domain from the Ecuadorian government to show they're willing to cooperate."
Kryzanek debunked the idea that Brown's press conference was motivated by his re-election campaign. Brown faces a stiff challenge in the presumptive Democratic nominee, former Harvard professor Elizabeth Warren.
Kryzanek said Cruz's relationship with Brown – both are Republicans – probably resulted in the two collaborating more closely on different issues.
"(Cruz) knows him well and he's using that relationship to try to do what he knows is the just thing to do," Kryzanek said.
Contacted by The Enterprise, Warren's office issued a statement: "Elizabeth believes that Luis Guaman should stand trial in Massachusetts for these heinous crimes and that the U.S. government should have every tool at its disposal necessary to accomplish that."
The spokewoman for U.S. Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., said Monday he has already reached out to Ecuador asking for Guaman's extradition to the U.S.
"Unfortunately, the ambassador emphasized that Ecuador's constitution explicitly states that they do not extradite their citizens and that they did not feel they had much flexibility," Kerry spokeswoman Maura Hogan said in an email.
Meanwhile, Maria Emelia Palaguachi, the Brockton sister and aunt of the victims, was glad to see Brown press for Guaman's return.
"I am happy that he's come (here) because I want to make justice," she said, adding she is haunted by the day her loved ones were killed.
"I always think about it," she said. "Why did she die?"

Cats back McIntosh
GEELONG has no concerns about the long-term value of recruit Hamish McIntosh, despite the former North Melbourne ruckman suffering another injury setback with his troublesome right knee.
McIntosh has undergone arthroscopic surgery to drain some fluid from the back of the knee that caused him problems in his final years at the Roos, and the 28-year-old is expected to be sidelined for two to three weeks - placing him in doubt for round one.
It's believed the latest complaint is loosely related to the knee injury that prevented McIntosh from playing after round seven last year and is similar to Lance Franklin's injury. But the Cats are confident the issue is ''pretty minor''.
''We've always known from the outset there was a bit of a risk with his knee but we are not that concerned about it,'' Cats football manager Neil Balme said.
''I'm not trying to pour cold water on it, who knows with these things, but it's certainly nothing serious,'' he said.
McIntosh went under the knife late last year to replace his posterior cruciate ligament, and was restricted to just one game in 2011 because of Achilles problems.
Cats coach Chris Scott said it was a problem that surgery could fix quite quickly, even though it would almost certainly rule McIntosh out of the NAB Cup.
''He could have put up with discomfort for a long time or we could nip it in the bud and try to give him some relief short-term,'' he said.
''We're still extremely confident that over the medium-term, a period of years, [McIntosh] is going to be a very valuable acquisition.''
The Cats will be under-manned in the ruck for Saturday's NAB Cup opener against West Coast and Fremantle in Perth, with Nathan Vardy and Dawson Simpson also unavailable.
That leaves Trent West to carry most of the ruck duties against the Eagles and the Dockers.
The lack of fit ruckmen notwithstanding, Scott expects Geelong to take a strong squad on the interstate trip. New recruits Jared Rivers (Melbourne) and Josh Caddy (Gold Coast) will be in the team, as will Travis Varcoe.

Michigan CUSO Sees Participation Loan as Weapon in MBL Cap Fight
As the push to raise the member business lending cap continues, Michigan Business Connection LC said the battle shouldn't spook credit unions in their efforts to aid to small businesses.
Speaking at the Michigan Credit Union League and Affiliates' Risk Management Conference on March 5, MBC CEO Bill Beardsley encouraged attendees to consider participation lending, which allows credit unions to pool lending resources and share financial risk while providing businesses with financing.
"There are numerous ways to get more involved in participation lending, both as buyer and seller, but it's really important that credit unions know what they are getting into," Beardsley offered.
Based in Ann Arbor, Mich., MBC underwrites and originates commercial loans and manages more than $250 million in credit union business loans, according to the CUSO.
During his session at the conference, Beardsley gave an overview of the various types of participation programs in the industry, sources of these opportunities, and the due diligence that is essential before engaging in the business.
"Sustainable lending requires consistent and strategic use of participation loans," Beardsley said. "Credit unions can leverage this unique lending vehicle to provide larger business loans at a low risk. This is truly a win-win for Michigan businesses seeking substantial loans from their trustworthy, community institutions."
He added, "The much-publicized battle over member business lending legislation continues on. However, MBC doesn't want to slow aid to the business community due to the arbitrary cap placed on credit union financing efforts."

There's been a big to-do lately up here in Canada about Verizon crossing the border by snagging local carriers WIND Mobile and/or Mobilicity. A lot of people were optimistic that they could bust up the oligopoly established by Rogers, Bell, and TELUS, but following their $130 billion Vodafone buy-out earlier this week, Verizon said they weren't interested in entering into Canada. So we're back to square one with three intractable providers and two struggling ones, but I'm not convinced things would have been an amazing wireless wonderland up here if Verizon had followed-up on their Canadian ambitions.
