I believe in my fellow man.
Ten minutes ago I watched my 10 year-old son walk into a holding area, a team of anesthesiologists escorting him. In a few minutes, another group of nurses will shave his head and prepare him for the brain surgery that awaits him today.
This journey of faith in humankind began New Year's Eve day last year. A seizure in the middle of the night alerted us to the fact that our heretofore healthy little boy was not perfect. As the seizure occurred in a hotel room around 2 am, my first act of faith was to entrust him to the burly security guard who carried him to a waiting ambulance while we dressed and gathered our wits.
From there, a 30-minute breakneck ride to the nearest medical facility with a pair of stranger EMT's – one at the wheel of the flashing ambulance and the other at the helm of my son's newly hung IV. A battery of doctors and nurses met us at the ER awaiting to examine and ultimately attempt a diagnosis of what had triggered this unusual event.
A neurologist friend and a colleague of my wife was our first call upon returning home. The first recognizable face in a sea of medical strangers. Her personal guidance was wise and measured, her concern genuine. Her professional judgment experienced and prudent.
Within 3 months a second seizure had occurred and then a third during a prescribed EEG. The culprit was identified as a brain tumor. As my near adolescent son approaches puberty, the newest round of brain development this is occurring in his otherwise normal body, is being interfered with. The tumor appears to be short circuiting his brain function and there is significant electrical activity at the site…..all the time.
In the opinion of our neurologist, there is only one man who we should see. He has been a professional colleague of hers for almost 30 years and he is recognized as the pre-eminent surgeon in his field of neurosurgery. And so, we packed our bags to meet a man of whom we have never heard.
And, now, as the door closes behind the retinue of medical attendants that obscure the bare bottom of my hospital-robed son, I wait. And I trust.
I trust the ability, the commitment, the aptitude, the science and the technology. Everything that I now hold onto is not faith in the supernatural, but faith in my fellow man. From the night manager at the hotel in Ocean City, MD to the medical team in New Haven, CT who will now determine the fate of my son's future, I have relied entirely on trust.
The men and women who will care for my son now I have never met. I rely on them expressly because the man I now trust to perform this surgery says HE trusts this team. The string of trust grows like a web, emanating from focal points out across the landscape: the people I most trust, trust other people. Those people in turn trust others and the web grows. In ever growing concentric circles, my wife and I have built our web of trust.
There are threads that reach back into time to the countless people who developed the all-important MRI, Cat Scan, and stereo-topic surgery technology that made this procedure feasible today. It extends back to the researchers and instructors who transmitted their knowledge and skills to this generation of practitioners. It reaches across continents to where medical instruments are made and where this medical team was educated.
We are not alone in our journey. As he lies on the gurney, ready to breath in the strawberry flavored anesthesia he has requested, it occurs to me that my son has put ALL of his faith in my wife and me. At his tender age, his web of trust has only one focal point: mom and dad.
Will we serve him well? Will we deliver on our promise to care for him as best we can? Will he have a future that allows him to grow and prosper? Will he come to develop his own web of trust among his fellow man? I do not know yet.
For now, I can only wait and be strong in my conviction that I trust my fellow man.

Amsterdam, 12 April 2017
Grand opening of Katwolderplein project in Zwolle, the Netherlands
Today councillor Ed Anker joined Françoise Dechesne, managing director of Multi Netherlands and Evert Leideman, CEO of deltaWonen in officially opening the multifunctional Katwolderplein project in Zwolle. The official opening attracted a lot of public interest, including from residents in the local area. Katwolderplein includes a Pathé cinema that seats 1,500, DEEN Supermarkets, the De Beren restaurant formula, 23 social rented properties and the largest multi-storey car park in Zwolle, with 700 parking spaces. It is located at the western entrance to the city of Zwolle.
"The opening of Katwolderplein marks the completion of the first phase of the redevelopment of this area", said alderperson Ed Anker. "Almost 18 months after the start of construction at Katwolderplein, this location has become a vibrant centre for housing, meeting people, leisure and entertainment. Where possible, the public areas have already been landscaped. The rest will be completed when the other parts of the project have been built. There will be two blocks. Construction starts on the first block later this year and building of the final section will begin in the spring of 2018. As the councillor with special responsibility for the Kamperpoort area, I am particularly proud of the result and delighted that we have been able to celebrate this occasion with each other and with the local community."
Katwolderplein – a place to meet
Katwolderplein is an important part of the large-scale redevelopment and reorganisation of the western entrance to the city of Zwolle. The area is located between the historic city centre of Zwolle and the A28 motorway. In recent years, the Kamperpoort district has been revitalised and the infrastructure updated. In December last year, Pathé opened a nine-screen cinema and on 1 March 2017, DEEN Supermarkets opened its doors to the public, at the same time as the car park.
The De Beren restaurant formula opens in the spring of 2017 and the rented housing is set for completion in mid-June. This is the first time both DEEN Supermarkets and De Beren have opened up locations in the province of Overijssel. Katwolderplein is the perfect place to meet and forms one of the most important links between the Kamperpoort district and the city centre.
Evert Leideman, CEO of deltaWonen: "Today, we are already looking forward to the completion in July of 23 social rented properties realised here by deltaWonen". deltaWonen will also continue to invest in the further completion of Katwolderplein in the years ahead. This includes the construction of 45 homes opposite the car park and a further 41 apartments in the Kop van de Hoog project, formerly the location of the Leen Bakker furniture store."
Parties involved
The Municipality of Zwolle is the owner of the car park, deltaWonen owns the rented properties, Pathé owns the cinema and DEEN Supermarkets the supermarket and food and beverage outlets. Multi Netherlands is responsible for the realisation of the commercial areas and the cinema.
Director of Multi Netherlands Françoise Dechesne: "We are proud to have realised Katwolderplein. Its location, together with the large car park, makes it the ideal base for visitors to the city centre and the Pathé cinema and DEEN supermarkets. Katwolderplein has given Zwolle a new gateway to the city centre, with the Rodentoren bridge forming an important connection between the two."
Amsterdam-based Dok architects designed the car park, supermarket and food and beverage outlets. The cinema design was developed in collaboration between Dok architects (exterior) and EUP design (interior). Michel Tombal Architect is responsible for designing the residential properties.


text: Alec Baldwin Cries on Stand; Alleged Stalker Yells at Him It's about as much craziness as you'd expect By Evann Gastaldo, Newser Staff Posted Nov 12, 2013 2:24 PM CST 17 comments Comments Genevieve Sabourin, who is charged with stalking actor Alec Baldwin, speaks with reporters as she arrives for her trial at criminal court Tuesday, Nov. 12, 2013, in New York. (AP Photo/Seth Wenig) View 1 more image (Newser) – Things got a little crazy in court today when Alec Baldwin testified against the woman accused of stalking him, with Baldwin crying and Genevieve Sabourin screaming at him. The waterworks came on while Baldwin was describing the time Sabourin allegedly came to his house on the day he proposed to his now-wife. (Though the New York Post and TMZ are both doubtful Baldwin was actually crying; the Post notes his eyes seemed dry.) He also denied they were ever romantically involved, as Sabourin claims they were, which is when Sabourin started yelling. Among her outbursts, courtesy of the New York Daily News: "Wow, you're lying. I can't believe you're doing that!" "He's lying, why he do that?" "You have a scar!" She pointed to her hip, apparently indicating she knows about a secret mark on that part of Baldwin's anatomy. "I gotta prove that I had a sexual relationship. I didn't do anything wrong. He's lying! He's lying!" "Are you crazy?" (This was in response to Baldwin's testimony that she made hundreds of harassing phone calls to him.) "Why is he crying?" The judge repeatedly demanded Sabourin pipe down; finally, after he threatened to hold her in contempt, her lawyer forced her to leave the courtroom. The 40-year-old is charged with 23 counts of harassment and one count of stalking; she allegedly emailed and texted Baldwin as well, asking him to help her "conceive a mini Baldwin." For his part, Baldwin says a producer friend introduced him to Sabourin in 2002, and he agreed to meet with her and give her career advice as a favor because she was the producer's mistress. Both before and after court, Baldwin also got heated with a Post photographer he recognized outside, at one point telling him, "I hope you choke to death."

Wearable Therapeutics Inc. Secures First Technology Patent for Flagship Product, Snug Vest
Tech vest helps students with autism, sensory processing disorders
Vancouver, B.C. (June 28, 2016) – To assist students with special needs as they pursue a free and appropriate education and therapy, Wearable Therapeutics Inc. announces the issue of its first patent for its Snug Vest product. The company, which closed its first investment round in Spring 2015, and has secured large U.S. re-sellers and partnerships in the education industry, is poised for immense growth in light of this announcement.
The wearable Snug Vest garment inflates to simulate a "firm hug," activating the parasympathetic nervous system to drive down cortisol and adrenalin, indicators of stress that induce a calming and relaxing effect. Utilizing a method called Deep Pressure Therapy, the product helps children and adults who need the constant pressure to help them achieve daily tasks with ease. The pressure aids in anxiety relief and stress management for families dealing with autism, mental health and neurodevelopmental challenges.
The patent's claims encompass an inflatable air bladder that is constructed with a plurality of depressions throughout the air bladder, which create even pressure distribution, ergonomically conforming to the body through the configuration size and shape of the depressions. Snug Vest delivers pressure safely, and avoids placing pressure on the stomach or chest.
"Securing this patent marks a historic achievement for the Snug Vest brand, and students struggling with special needs in the U.S and Canada," said Lisa Fraser, founder and CEO of Wearable Therapeutics Inc. "The future looks very bright for students who need that consistent feeling of comfort and security in order to focus, and succeed, in their education."
Deep pressure devices that pre-exist Snug Vest were often large and cumbersome, not easily portable and disallowed users from any meaningful control over the amount of pressure being applied to their bodies. Snug Vest technology allows, for the first time, the ability to regulate evenly-distributed pressure, portability and unprecedented safety features.
Snug Vest was invested by Fraser, who was inspired by her work with students with autism to develop the technology while she studied Industrial Design as a student at Emily Carr University in 2010. She incorporated the company in 2011 in reaction to high demand for the product, and filed for the patent, entitled "Inflatable Wearable Deep Pressure Therapy Systems" (US 9320674).
Snug Vest is currently in use among thousands of families, and has received numerous awards and recognitions, including the Red Dot Product Design Award in 2014 and the Mom's Choice Award. The product was recently a finalist for the Medical Design Excellence Award.
About Snug Vest
Snug Vest is a therapeutic product for individuals with autism, sensory processing disorder or anxiety. Snug Vest inflates to provide adjustable and evenly distributed pressure to the torso for a comforting hug-like squeeze without pressure placed on the stomach or chest and is used by occupational therapists, teachers, adults and children. It is especially effective for individuals managing autism, high levels of stress, or sensory processing disorders. Snug Vest is based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

Submitted by alvin on Mon, 2016-05-23 13:02 Raipur: While attributing his phenomenal rise to the top of the limited-overs cricket to rigorous training, Royal Challengers Bangalore skipper Virat Kohli has stressed that it is pertinent to stay grounded and remain calm despite adulation and fame. Kohli continued his red-hot form as he smashed an unbeaten 54 off 45 balls to secure his side a spot in the Indian Premier League play-offs, following a six-wicket win over Delhi Daredevils in a winner-takes-all contest in Raipur last evening. "It is very important not to get very arrogant or rude about your form or the way you are striking the ball. You will have a few incidents on the field where people will have a go at you, but after that sort of chat, you are back to basics, you are back to being normal and humble about what you want to do on the pitch. It is all about keeping that thin line between over-confidence and being confident and calm about your skill," Man-of-the-Match Kohli said in a post-match presentation. The right-handed batsman, who breached the 900-run landmark in the process, also believes sticking to basics and working hard on the nets on a consistent basis have contributed significantly towards his success. "It's not easy but you have to start afresh every day. I know it sounds boring and traditional but that's the way it is. You need to do boring things and built your innings the same way to improve as a cricketer. Every day has to be made use of. I am extra motivated when I come on to the field and make sure I work hard," he added. As the victory took them to the second spot in the points table, Royal Challengers will now have two shots at reaching the IPL final. (ANI)

True to form in the advertising and sponsorship world, giants like Coca-Cola always step in to hijack some of the greatest displays of athletic prowess (and body HEALTH) in the world. Adding excessive sugar consumption to daily life is essentially like feeding the body a poison, one that has been proven to promote excess body fat and its resulting host of diseases, yet its consumption is pictured as a sure ticket to energy, satisfaction, and happiness. Witness this new World Cup branding campaign leading up to Brazil's big event, as reported on designtaxi.com.
The identity would be applied to a wide range of publicity material, including product packaging and digital marketing—specially designed, country-specific bottles would also be available as part of the campaign.

You may have seen Gus Kenworthy winning silver medals at the Sochi Olympics, but it's what he's been up to off the slopes that has us crushing on him. Why? Because he has been saving stray puppies. I repeat, he's saving puppies.
Gus was heartbroken when heard that overpopulation was forcing the city to kill stray dogs. So, he's trying to take home five dogs (one mother and four puppies) and has been trying to get others vaccinated and into kennels.
As soon as we got wind of that there was no question that Gus had to be MTV News' pick for #ManCrushMonday. Need more proof? See below.

As Rockefeller reminded his appointed Boswell, the affable William O. Inglis, a newspaperman recruited from Rockefeller's old nemesis, the World, but "for the urgent request of my son, who is not familiar with this history ... I would never have taken the time and the trouble to make any refutation to these questions." (Prelude, pg. xix)
Despite incessant disappointment, he doggedly pursued a position. Each morning, he left his boardinghouse at eight o'clock, clothed in a dark suit with a high collar and black tie, to make his rounds of appointed firms. This grimly determined trek went on each day—six days a week for six consecutive weeks—until late in the afternoon. The streets were so hot and hard that he grew footsore from pacing them. His perseverance surely owed something to his desire to end his reliance upon his fickle father. (Chapter 3, pg. 44)

My life changed in deep and meaningful ways when my daughter, Shalea, came into the world. You can read more about her story here. Shalea's profound physical and cognitive challenges put me on a mission of research and study that has led to equally profound discoveries that I love to share with others. In my journey to help Shalea, I was introduced to occupational and physical therapy techniques that were very effective with her.
At this time, I was a reading specialist in a California school district. Being over the moon by my daughter's progress, I tried incorporating some of the principles I'd learned from Shalea's therapist with my students who were not progressing as I'd hoped. The measured growth was surprising and remarkable—the light was turned on, in me! With passion ignited, I knew what I would be doing for the rest of my life. That was over eighteen years ago. Through years of continued research and development, S'cool Moves has grown and evolved to bring you proven products and services that can truly make a difference in the lives of the children you serve. You are the front lines. I want to be your backup. Please take a few moments and learn more about S'cool Moves, our workshops, and materials.
When you chose teaching or therapy as your career, you expected to positively impact the lives of your students by applying your unique skills set to help solve the challenges your students face daily. Whether your students experience difficulties managing their behavior, keeping up with their peers academically, or just finding a kindred spirit, you chose your career because you care about children.
I, too, had expectations. When I began teaching high school biology students, I expected they would be able to manage their behavior, focus, and be able to read their textbooks. With fifty percent of my students unable to meet my expectations, I drove two hours each way to California State University, Fresno, to participate in courses focusing on how to teach reading. These courses eventually led to my earning a Masters Degree in Education with a clinical reading specialty.
When I began my new high school teaching position working with students reading between the first and third grade levels, I applied what I had learned and expected to propel my students to the head of the class. I felt like Tom Cruise, in Top Gun, full of confidence and fire. It was a slow climb. You might even say that I stalled out in mid-air. I felt like something was still missing from my teaching tool bag. I thought maybe I would find the answers by teaching elementary students.
Leaving high school teaching, I accepted a site literacy position at an elementary school. I expected to be able to make a bigger impact by working with younger children. Again, my students made progress, but it was slow and some remained in the bottom quarter no matter what I tried.
One day, something happened that changed everything.
My first born child, Shalea, came into this world and every expectation I had as a young mother went flying out the window (along with my What to Expect books). From her birth trauma, to feeding her with an eye dropper because she didn't have a suck reflex, to failure to thrive; I never anticipated that having a new baby girl would include many instances of my crying in a puddle on the floor. None of my expectations as a parent came true. Nothing was working.
Sometimes in our classrooms, we can feel like this…nothing is working.
Then, as fate would have it, I met Margot Heiniger-White, an occupational therapist whose expertise and caring impacted our lives in unexpectedly profound ways. I began doing Margot's therapy program with Shalea. The results we experienced at home were astounding, so I decided to try out some of the suggestions at school with my students who were not progressing as I'd hoped.
Again, the unexpected took me by surprise. The therapy techniques I was applying with Shalea, began yielding promising results with my students as well.
With my daughter and my students making consistent, positive gains, and test scores on the rise at school, visitors began observing me work with my students. The demand became greater than I could take on at school, so the S'cool Moves program was put into writing and today is recognized for its ability to enhance collaboration between general education teachers and support staff.
My passion for the power of collaboration led me to seek a deeper knowledge of this powerful tool. While raising two teens and running S'cool Moves, I went on to earn my doctorate through the University of Southern Queensland in Australia. (My full dissertation focusing on successful collaboration between general education teachers and occupational therapists is available here).
It's S'cool Moves deepest commitment to you to provide information and materials that make your job easier while increasing student success. Like you, it is our desire for all children to ultimately become happy lifelong learners who work and contribute to society. In keeping with this, S'cool Moves also provides jobs for adults with disabilities because we know that the single most important expectation they have is to work.
Thank you for visiting our site. I look forward to hearing from you and… thanks for all you do for children.

Skip to comments.Cuba denounces 'virtual' Castro (assassination) plot in new game (Call of Duty: Black Ops)
Posted on 11/10/2010 2:40:58 PM PST by SnakeDoctor
HAVANA (AP) -- Cuba harshly criticized a new video game in which U.S. special operations soldiers try to kill a young Fidel Castro, saying Wednesday that the violent role-playing glorifies assassination and will turn American children into sociopaths.
The island's state-run media also took a dig at the CIA's real-life efforts to do in the island's revolutionary leader, who has survived dozens, perhaps hundreds of attempts on his life.
"What the United States couldn't accomplish in more than 50 years, they are now trying to do virtually," said an article posted on Cubadebate, a state-run news website.
(Excerpt) Read more at finance.yahoo.com ...
Sounds like fun. I want to play!
I wasn't that interested until hearing this. I wonder if Cuba is getting a kick back for this PR. :-)
Actually ... I bought a copy yesterday. It is a truly badass game. Shooting communists remains a suitable and enjoyable pass-time.
There is even an after-game story line where zombies invade the Pentagon during a meeting between Kennedy, Castro, Nixon and Robert McNamara. JFK, zombie slayer.
Video of the JFK, Nixon, Castro, McNamara zombie game ...
How many Cubans IN CUBA can, even, play the game, if they wanted to do so?
I'll bet Raul's getting a kick out of it. The rest of the population likely doesn't have the right connections on their 1950's television sets.
My daugher (and I) are getting this for Christmas. Yippee!
Well, this story really spoiled some of the story. Just played through all this last night. And the prison isn't in Siberia, it's in northern Russia, near Scandinavia.
It's certainly a lot of fun, but to call it "ultra-realistic" is laughable. The set pieces are Michael Bay-esque.
I guess I should've "spoiler" tagged it. I never really thought about it, actually. Guess I got too caught up in my amusement that Castro was all pissy about a virtual assassination attempt.
Hey ... at least he was included in the JFK zombie apocalypse sub-plot.
"will turn American children into sociopaths."
Wrong. They already are.
I'm sure Fidel would agree. Good grief.
In the words of Tony Montana, "I kill a communist for fun, but for a green card, I gonna carve him up real nice."
COD Black Ops Widows Club, day two. Wait till you see Fidel in the game tho! The guys are loving it! Girls week out across America! To be truthful, my husband is salivating but waiting till I work this weekend to break it in himself. My son is amazingly fast at getting ready for school to get a few minutes of play.
Still waiting for the day when they come out with a video game where you hunt Islamofascists. Nah, they won't do that. They'll just do games with Soviets or Nazis or some other safe target.
It's all true !!!
heh heh
Actually, Call of Duty 2 was in large part, just that.
I am playing it tonight ; )
As was Call of Duty 4...

Why Some Of The World's Biggest Brands Still Don't Get Facebook: An interesting, if limited, view of the conversations (or lack thereof) that are happening on the Facebook pages of select brands. The overview is that the vast majority of brands don't engage in any actual conversations on those pages but instead simply use them for one-way message distribution. The story ends by pointing out that smaller brands can be more conversational and experimental because they have less to lose, but for bigger brands the lesson is going to come when those upstarts take serious market share as a result of their more engaging ways. (h/t Haslam)
Facebook To Marketers: Are We There Yet?: Along the same lines as the above is a study by AT Kearney reporting most of the top 50 brands on Facebook aren't fully maximizing the potential there, mostly by failing to engage in any sort of conversation, with just 5% of posts containing any sort of reply. But it appears most brands are giving people what they want, with the 71% of updates which are promotional in nature being among the most liked while more informative posts fail to resonate, at least based on hard metrics.
Resources Are Now a Big Issue for Social Media Marketers: About 41% of marketers in a recent survey say that lack of time and other resources is the biggest thing keeping them from engaging in social media efforts. That's pretty significant considering there are still a great many people out there who are pushing the "social media is cheap and easy" line. There are also, farther down the list of reasons, issues of uncertainty as where to begin and learning what the technology actually does. The study also looks at what respondents considered their biggest failure when it came to a social media program and again, time/resources is the biggest one, with 38% saying they didn't plan correctly.
Your Followers Are No Measure of Your Influence: People who are popular are, in large part, different from those who are influential. That's not exactly news but in the race some people engage in to rack of social media followers it's good to be reminded of that as often as possible.
Gen Y Connects To Brands Via Digital Media: 63% of those ages 12-29 engage with brands through social media channels according to a new study and their attitudes toward those brands are influenced to some extent on those online interactions. While I don't doubt that's true, studies like this don't take the time to make the next logical step and point out that consumer attitudes may be shaped by social media but they're also shaped by the ultimate interaction as well, the one that comes when attempting to buy something from that brand. A company can build up a great online reputation but if they fail to deliver on the promise when it really matters that's going to have a huge impact on consumer perceptions.
The Challenges of a Web of Infinite Info: Blogger/Odeo/Twitter founder Evan Williams points out that the online management tools we use now simply weren't designed for the scale of information overload we're now subjected to.

Twenty-one is the first number to be the aliquot sum of three numbers 18, 51, This page contains text from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia - https: Centuries are numbered ordinally in English and many other languages e. A centenary is a hundredth anniversary or a celebration of this, typically remembrance of an event which took place a hundred years earlier; and its adjectival form is centennial.
The 2nd century started at year , the 3rd at , etc. A century will only include one year, the centennial year, that starts with the century's number e. Also, there is no year 0 AD. Other centuries BCE follow the same pattern. The term girl may also be used to mean a young woman, and is often used as a synonym for daughter.
Etymology The English word girl first appeared during the Middle Ages between and CE and came from the Anglo-Saxon words gerle also spelled girle or gurle. The Anglo-Saxon word gerela meaning dress or clothing item also seems to have been used as a metonym in some sense. Girl has meant any young unmarried woman since about Its first noted meaning for sweetheart is The earliest known appearance of girl-friend is in and girl next door , meant as a teenaged female or young woman with a kind of wholesome appeal, dates only to Usage for adults The word girl is sometimes used to refer to an adult female, usually a younger one.
This usage may be considered derogatory or disrespectful in professional or other formal contexts, just as the term boy can be considered disparaging when applied to an adult man. Hence, this usage is often deprecative. It can also be used deprecatively when used to discriminate against children "you're just a girl". Sexual reproduction involves the combining and mixing of genetic traits: Gametes can be identical in form and function known as isogamy , but in many cases an asymmetry has evolved such that two sex-specific types of gametes heterogametes exist known as anisogamy.
Among humans and other mammals , males typically carry XY chromosomes , whereas females typically carry XX chromosomes, which are a part of the XY sex-determination system. Other animals have a sex-determination system as well, such as the ZW sex-determination system in birds, and the X0 sex-determination system in insects. The gametes produced by an organism are determined by its sex: Frequently, physical differences are associated with the different sexes of an organism; these sexual dimorphisms can reflect the different reproductive pressures the sexes experience.

Five school years into the historic merger and demerger of public education in Shelby County, the start of the sixth school year classes this month shows the change is establishing very real roots.
Good morning, Memphis! Both the City Council and County Commission take up votes this week with wide-ranging impact, Grizzlies fan favorite Shane Battier returns for the annual Staxtacular fundraiser, and the University of Memphis Tigers get a chance to redeem themselves against Cincinnati. Check out what else should be on your radar in The Week Ahead...
Vol Nation should celebrate. It's a new year. It's got to be better than 2017. Tennessee athletics had a bad year, one of the worst ever. It was rough for fans, alumni and boosters.
After another first-round playoff exit this spring, a very direct question was put to All-Star center Marc Gasol:
Was he still dedicated to the Grizzlies, to seeing this franchise become the best it can be?
Robert Griffin has joined Memphis in May International Festival as director of marketing, a role in which he's responsible for all marketing and communication programs, promotions, media and public relations, marketing research and sponsorship activation for the annual festival. Griffin comes to Memphis in May with nearly 20 years' experience in marketing and advertising.
The Grizzlies left behind a five-game losing streak by beating Milwaukee at home and then Chicago and Atlanta on the road in back-to-back nights. San Antonio was to play the Grizzlies at FedExForum on Saturday, March 18.
With the start of the NBA season drawing near, let's get that shot clock running and put up 24 questions in need of answers:
24. Will the Philadelphia 76ers, who were at FedExForum to play the Grizzlies in a preseason game this past week, finally crack 20 victories after winning 19 games three seasons ago, then 18, and only 10 last season?
The NBA released the 2016-17 regular season schedule and while it gave the Grizzlies an intriguing home opener and a packed December with 11 home games, it moved the Annual Martin Luther King Jr. Day Game to the preceding Sunday night and hit Memphis with 17 sets of back-to-back games (34 games total).
Here's the Matt Barnes resume ...
• Kicked a water bottle and cussed at a fan during an L.A. Clippers game at the Washington Wizards and fined $25,000 by the NBA.
• Fined $25,000 by the league for profane language directed at Phoenix Suns owner Robert Sarver.
There were a few mildly uneasy days between the arrival of Grizzlies controlling owner Robert Pera in Spain and the news that, yes, All-Star center Marc Gasol would indeed re-sign with the team. And not just for a short-term deal, but a five-year max contract (about $113 million) with a player option after the fourth year.
789 and 725 N. Germantown ParkwayMemphis, TN 38018Sale Amount: $3.4 million
Grizzlies coach Dave Joerger, when asked to offer an opinion on the most deserving candidate for NBA Most Valuable Player, recoiled, laughed, and took a pass.
"I'm not touching that one," he said. "Might be seeing some of those jokers in the next couple of weeks."
The Grizzlies had just defeated the rival Oklahoma City Thunder before a loud sellout crowd in The Grindhouse and Jerry "The King" Lawler had defended his Memphis championship wrestling belt, albeit with an assist from the Grizzlies' crack game operations staff.
In a franchise first, Memphis Grizzlies center Marc Gasol has been voted by the fans to the Western Conference starting lineup for the 2015 NBA All-Star Game, to be held Feb. 15 at Madison Square Garden.
In a franchise first, Memphis Grizzlies center Marc Gasol has been voted by the fans to the Western Conference starting lineup for the 2015 NBA All-Star Game.
"I am honored and humbled to be selected as a starter for the All-Star Game," Gasol said. "Knowing that I will be facing my brother Pau for the opening tip, it will be a true accomplishment for our family and a memory I will cherish for the rest of my career. It holds special meaning to be voted in by the fans, and I look forward to representing my teammates, the organization, the city of Memphis and entire Mid-South community and Grizzlies fans across the world."
Calling it the Wild West just doesn't do it justice anymore.
The NBA's Western Conference is brutal. It's loaded with talent. And the eight teams that make it through a gruelingly competitive regular season to reach the playoffs will only find slugging their way to the NBA Finals even more daunting.
For now, the Memphis Grizzlies' window of opportunity is open.
With four straight playoff appearances in the immediate past, there is no reason to believe the Grizzlies won't get there again. But it's not about just getting there, not about playing a tough seven-game series, as the Grizzlies did in the first round of the Western Conference playoffs against Oklahoma City last season, only to come home after a dispiriting Game 7 loss.
At home or on the road, it hasn't mattered where the Grizzlies opened the NBA season since moving from Vancouver to Memphis. For 13 straight years, they have started the season with a loss.
If that is to change in the 2014-15 season, it will happen at FedExForum on Oct. 29 when the Grizzlies play the Minnesota Timberwolves, who will be minus Kevin Love but will have 2014 No. 1 draft pick Andrew Wiggins, assuming the much-anticipated Minnesota-Cleveland trade becomes official.
WASHINGTON (AP) – As Congress moves to help thousands of military veterans enduring long wait times for VA medical care, the FBI said it has opened a criminal investigation into the Department of Veterans Affairs.
Just so there is no misunderstanding, let me answer this question first:
Do I believe NBA Playoff games are actually fixed?
No, I do not. I don't think that Commissioner Adam Silver now, or David Stern before him, is sitting in the rafters of NBA arenas and pulling strings that make puppets, er, officials, blow whistles when someone deigns to breathe on LeBron James or Kevin Durant.
Two hours before the Grizzlies played the Los Angeles Lakers on Wednesday, Feb. 26, at FedExForum, Memphis coach Dave Joerger talked about the last loss – at Charlotte – the game ahead, and that aggravating play that recently invaded Memphis living rooms, including Joerger's own.

Special chorus brings cancer survivors together
Words have been life-changing for members of the Voices of Hope chorus.
Of course, they've been moved by the lyrics they've read, rehearsed and sung to audiences.
If you goIf you go
What: Voices of Hope, a concert of inspiration for those touched by cancer
When: 3 p.m. Sunday, April 28
Where: Wentz Concert Hall, 171 E. Chicago Ave., Naperville
Tickets: $15 for adults, $10 for students and seniors, free for cancer survivors
Info: nmgc.org or (630) 448-0518
But the words that changed everything were those delivered by a doctor:
"You have cancer."
For most chorus members, the words have been a personal diagnosis -- the end of one kind of life and the start of another. The beginning of treatments, of viewing themselves differently and being seen differently by others. Of appreciating the world in a new way, from the blue of the sky to, yes, the lyrics of a song.
The chorus came together 10 weeks ago under the auspices of the Naperville Men's Glee Club "to gather people who have, or have had, a role in the fight against cancer and to provide an opportunity for them to feel the inspiration, thrill and deep affection for life that comes through singing," director Bonnie Klee Roberts said.
On Sunday, April 27, the chorus will perform for the first time to sing music of hope and support. The full glee club will perform as well in celebration of its 25th anniversary.
In weekly rehearsals for the concert, cancer survivors and their supporters have found a community that understands their experiences, the uncertainty of returning to anything that was "normal" and the absolute necessity of doing so.
"Singing makes me feel wonderful, it energizes me," said Gloria De La Cruz, a chorus member from Naperville diagnosed with two cancers in the past seven months. "When I leave practice on Saturdays, it just seems like my day goes much better. There's less pain. I'm grateful for the opportunity to sing along with this group."
De La Cruz and four fellow chorus members shared their experiences with us, citing lyrics and passages that carried them through treatment and bring them together at rehearsal.
Here are their stories in their own words:
Gloria De La Cruz, Naperville
Gloria De La Cruz has been diagnosed with and treated for two rare and unrelated cancers, including one that took her left eye. Though in chemo treatments, she sings with Voices of Hope. "Singing, and music in general, has always had a very positive effect on me. Singing makes me feel wonderful, it energizes me," she said. "When I leave practice on Saturdays, it just seems like my day goes much better. There's less pain. I'm grateful for the opportunity to sing along with this group." Read Gloria's story.
Kristine Johnson, Lombard
"It happened again. Every time we sing the song 'I'll Stand by You' during our weekly Voices of Hope rehearsals, tears well up in my eyes," says Kristine Johnson of Lombard, a member of the Voices of Hope chorus. "I try not to let the drops of emotion fall on my music, but a few have spilled out on this song; I can see the warped spots on the pages. I'm not alone with this. I've heard fellow singers say, 'If I could only get through this song without crying.'" Read Kristine's story.
Jennifer Jones, Downers Grove
Diagnosed and treated last year for breast cancer, Jennifer Jones of Downers Grove is gradually taking back control of her life -- including singing with the Naperville Men's Glee Club's Voice of Hope chorus. Read Jennifer's story.
Bette Weaver, Aurora
Twenty-five years ago, Bette Weaver's daughter survived a brain tumor. A decade ago, the Aurora woman herself defeated breast cancer. And last year, Weaver's husband got the better of colon cancer. Music comforted him during his treatment, and now Weaver finds strength in singing with Voices of Hope. Read Bette's story.
Larry Zabinski, North Aurora
Larry Zabinski of North Aurora will be singing this weekend to honor those who have battled and still are battling cancer. People like his mother-in-law and his wife's grandfather. And people like Larry himself. Read Larry's story.

However I have seen some suggestions around that Xcode is a bit to big a beast to start off with. I thought I would check out some php as I'd read it was good to start with and again learnt some basics (if statements, while loops, forms etc etc. ) however web development really isn't what I want to do. I am a lot more interested in app/game development. I understand though, that this is pretty advanced stuff, but I want to make sure I'm heading in the right direction.

Discussion in 'Acer Iconia Tab A500 Forum' started by dan776, May 3, 2011.
Is vanilla a change for the better in honeycomb? What is it exactly, just visual differences?
Vanilla just refers to the version of Honeycomb, or any other version of Android, that has no custom UI built over top of it. The major benefit of vanilla android is it is easiest to update and will be the first to get updates as there is no extras involved with manufacturers custom UI's. When you have a custom UI like HTC's Sense or Motorola's Motoblur the updated OS has to be sent to the specific manufacturer so they can code it with their additions. Hence the reason for the longer waits.
ah I see... good to know. In terms of tablets, which have vanilla? Is the Acer?

Theme Diagram:
A theme is the central idea or the message found in a story. Themes are usually expressed as generalizations about life. Authors want readers to think about what they have read and personalize it to their own experiences. Universal themes are when these generalizations cover different cultures, places, or periods in time.
Directions: Use the diagram to determine the theme of the text.
|What does the title of the story suggest?
|How does the protagonist change throughout the story?
|How is the story's main conflict resolved?
Simile or Metaphor?
Read the following quotes from the short story, "All Summer in a Day" by Ray Bradbury. Based on the definitions learned in class, decide whether each quote is an example of a simile or a metaphor.
1. "The children pressed to each other like so many roses, so many weeds intermixed."
2. "They were remembering gold or a yellow crayon or a coin large enough to build the world with."
3. "They always awoke to the tatting drum, the endless snaking of clear bead necklaces upon the roof."
4. "They turned on themselves, like a feverish wheel, all fumbling spokes."
5. "She was an old photograph dusted from an album, whitened away and if she spoke at all her voice would be a ghost."
6. "It's like a penny."
7. "The great jungle that covered Venus, that grew and never stopped growing, tumultuously, even as you watched it. It was a nest of octopi, clustering up great arms of fleshlike weed, wavering, flowering in this brief spring."

Rep. Adam Schiff To Introduce Legislation to Sunset Authorization for Use of Military Force
Washington, DC – Today, Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), a senior Member of the Intelligence Committee, announced that he was introducing legislation tomorrow – before the debate on the National Defense Authorization Act begins this week – that would sunset the Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF) beginning in 2015. Following the September 11 attacks, the Congress passed the Authorization for Use of Military Force to provide the President with requisite authorization to use "force against those nations, organizations, or persons he determines planned, authorized, committed, or aided the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001, or harbored such organizations or persons, in order to prevent any future acts of international terrorism against the United States by such nations, organizations or persons."
Schiff's legislation finds that the Authorization to Use Military Force (AUMF) now poorly defines those who pose a threat to the country, and that it should expire concurrent with the end of our combat role in Afghanistan. The bill sunsets the AUMF effective December 31, 2014.
"When Congress passed the AUMF shortly after 9/11, we did not intend to authorize a war without end," said Rep. Adam Schiff. "The cessation of our combat mission in Afghanistan next year is a logical end point for an authorization that now provides a poor description of the groups which threaten us, and an increasingly precarious legal rationale for going after them. As the President observed recently, if we don't define the nature of the threat we face, it will define us."
Since the AUMF passed, the U.S. has invaded Afghanistan, toppling the Taliban and routing the core of Al Qaeda. The authorization has also been used to support targeted strikes against Al Qaeda's operatives in other countries, and used as a basis to detain terrorists at the facility at Guantanamo Bay.
The country now face threats from individuals, entities and organizations that may affiliate with al Qaeda, or share its ideology and its determination to attack Americans, but which may not have even been in existence on September 11, 2001. With the withdrawal of U.S. combat troops from Afghanistan and the transition to Afghan national security forces at the end of 2014, it is time for the President and Congress to work together to determine a proper legal basis for protecting the country going forward. The bill will effectively give Congress the next 18 months to do so.
In his recent speech at the National Defense University, President Obama specifically called on Congress to work with him. "I look forward to engaging Congress and the American people in efforts to refine, and ultimately repeal, the AUMF's mandate," Obama said. "And I will not sign laws designed to expand this mandate further. Our systematic effort to dismantle terrorist organizations must continue. But this war, like all wars, must end."
Schiff's legislation can be found here.

How can you have a majority party blocked from holding office and claim you're defending democracy?
Why is a majority party blocked from the government? This has happened in Portugal and the reason they are being opposed is probably because they would have resisted this sort of transnational tyranny:
I'm not in favor of deficit spending, but Spain and Portugal are expected to submit to the authority of the E.U. even if voters disagree.
Trending: The President's Beef with Stormy Daniels SOMEHOW Got Dumber
So now, according to Ambrose Evans-Pritchard of the Telegraph, Portugal has crossed "the Rubicon"—a reference to Julius Caesar's move to destroy the Roman Republic and become Emperor.
Portugal has entered dangerous political waters. For the first time since the creation of Europe's monetary union, a member state has taken the explicit step of forbidding eurosceptic parties from taking office on the grounds of national interest.
Anibal Cavaco Silva, Portugal's constitutional president, has refused to appoint a Left-wing coalition government even though it secured an absolute majority in the Portuguese parliament and won a mandate to smash the austerity regime bequeathed by the EU-IMF Troika.
He deemed it too risky to let the Left Bloc or the Communists come close to power, insisting that conservatives should soldier on as a minority in order to satisfy Brussels and appease foreign financial markets.
I'm not in favor of Leftists and Communists, but defying voters in order to submit to the Eurocrats is criminal behavior.
Pritchard quotes the President of Portugal:
After we carried out an onerous programme of financial assistance, entailing heavy sacrifices, it is my duty, within my constitutional powers, to do everything possible to prevent false signals being sent to financial institutions, investors and markets.
What would you think of Barack Obama declaring a national emergency to cancel the election and prevent a Trump Presidency on the grounds that he must "do everything possible to prevent false signals being sent to financial institutions, investors and markets"?
Yet we hear virtually nothing in the media about the radical move to preserve the E.U.
On the other hand, we do see a similar arrogant changing of the rules being attempted to prevent Donald Trump from getting the nomination, even though it would guarantee that Hillary Clinton becomes President.

At the hospital
I've spent four days at the hospital. It is a busy place, and seems understaffed and as if the maternity has been squeezed into too small a space.
I'm learning their routines, and getting faster at my planning and doing. It felt good to be in control of a birth today – and for a little two kilo boy. He wad the second baby I've had with tachypnia without nasal flaring, grunting, retractions or off color. The first I blame on too vigerous suctioning from the nurse. But this little guy stumped me.
I was using all my good patho study to figure it out. He was full term, IUGR. I did the neonatal exam and saw the placenta myself so no doubt about true gestatiknal age. My best guess is his lack of body weight means he doesn't have good fat deposits and is trying really hard to keep warm. My plan would be kangaroo care to help stabilize nary temp and frequent nursing to prevent hypoglycemia. But I plan to do more study on Friday to make sure my understanding is correct.
Tomorrow we head to a village to do some antenatal work and travel with a medical team to do care in an even more rural village.

The Fauna of Hungary VI - Birds
On the new stamps for 2012 birds of prey are depicted, which in order of ascending face value are the imperial eagle, the white-tailed eagle, the red-footed falcon and the saker falcon, and in the background there are motifs indicating their habitats. The stamp series, released on 4 May 2012, was designed by the graphic artist Kálmán Székely and 300,000 copies were made by the state printing company Állami Nyomda. The stamp block associated with the series presents the bird of the year 2012, the Common Buzzard, and is due to be issued on 15 June 2012. The imperial eagle (Aquila heliaca) nests in uninhabited areas of the North-Central Mountains and the easternmost part of the Transdanubian Central Mountains. In January 2012 there were 230 individuals wintering in Hungary. The main colour of the plumage is dark brown with a light brown head and white patches on the shoulders. It has powerful legs with long talons and its hooked bill has a yellow base and grey tip. In ideal conditions the imperial eagle can live up to 50 years. In Hungary it is specially protected and has a theoretical value of HUF 1,000,000. It was the bird of the year in 2005. The white-tailed eagle or sea eagle (Haliaeetus albicilla) occurs in Hungary all year round and there are between 100 and 150 breeding pairs. In January 2012 there were 530 individuals wintering in Hungary. Juveniles are dark brown, while adults have a yellow beak, white tail feathers and lighter plumage overall. It feeds mainly on fish, supplemented by birds, reptiles and small mammals. In Hungary it is specially protected and has a theoretical value of HUF 1,000,000. The red-footed falcon (Falco vespertinus) regularly breeds in Hungary. Its flight is fast and easy. It frequently hovers in the same place, holding its body vertically. The red-footed falcon rarely captures its prey in flight, usually catching its quarry on the ground after a rapid dive. It rests on prominent, tall landmarks. In Hungary it is specially protected and has a theoretical value of HUF 500,000. It was the bird of the year, together with the rook, in 2009. The saker falcon (Falco cherrug) regularly breeds in Hungary and played an important role in the mythology of Hungarians in ancient times. It prefers scattered woodland, grassland with some trees or open country. Some saker falcons winter in Hungary, while others migrate south in November. In January 2012 there were 42 individuals wintering in Hungary. Its favourite food is the ground squirrel, which the saker falcon preys on whenever it can. It is a large-bodied type of falcon. In Hungary it is specially protected and has a theoretical value of HUF 1,000,000.

Mad Men star Kiernan Shipka had a breakout year as Sally Draper on the sixth season of the series, turning into a full-blown teen, catching dad Don in a compromising position, and going away to boarding school. Her dramatic performance was worthy of a standing ovation to say the least. And if that wasn't enough, turns out she's a legitimate comedian, too!
In the sequel to her first Funny or Die sketch, Kiernan stars as a "Child Star Psychologist," counseling the likes of Looper's Pierce Gagnon, Modern Family's Aubrey Anderson-Emmons, and Moonrise Kingdom's Jared Gilman on their very specific, kiiinda hilarious Hollywood kid issues. Check it out ...
HA, love it. Now I'm totally convinced that Kiernan injects a bit of her own personality into her portrayal of Sally Draper, because she is clearly the master of that dry, wry, slightly-cynical humor. And man, she's only 13! Also, how funny are Pierce, Aubrey, and Jared?
The sad thing is this cracks us up because it's so true that child stars can end up with some serious issues! I mean, I don't know about these three, but all you have to do is watch the VMAs or look at any tabloid stand to see former adorable kid stars -- Miley, LiLo, the Biebs -- gone wild! Though she can't quit her day job as Sally Draper, Hollywood really could use Kiernan!
How funny is this?!

So how does it work?
It's all about saving you time. You send me outlines, pieces, your articles, your bits and words. I check for consistency, edit for grammar, rearrange as necessary, and generally prepare it for you to post, send, or print. I often describe the process like this: "You braindump, I clean it up."
Whether you are working on a blog post, press release, policies, email communication, or just about any other business writing, internal or external, I know you have the ideas – but you don't have the time to edit, check, prepare. Send it to me. I can do it.
What if my page is still blank?
Sometimes the ideas don't come together as easily as they should. Rather than staring at that blank page, let's get you back to work. I can put together your article, release, or other item. Let's chat about it today.
What sets you apart?
I marry grammar nerdiness with customer focus. I can keep your content concise and compelling. I understand marketing, sales, and what works in business. I transform jargon into client speak. Because my focus is entrepreneurs and small business owners, I go deeper than fixing your grammar errors… I make sure you are telling your story, sharing your vision, selling your product as well as you can. And yet, yes, I am a linguistic nerd.
How do you get paid?
I send invoices via FreshBooks. You will receive an email invoice for the finished work we did . You can pay online or via check.
What's your industry focus?
My industry is Words – with a focus on entrepreneurial professionals. Aside from that, my clients range from creative to technical, manufacturing to service based.
Which style/format do you prefer?
Well, I cut my proverbial teeth on the AP Stylebook, but I prefer the Oxford comma, so that's an issue. My background in linguistics lends itself to a keen interest in the why's behind the styles. The bottom line is if you have a preference, we will follow that. If not, you will get a mix of the "standard" formats, based on logical, natural style.
Ready to get started? Tired of staring at documents? Let's get your words back to work.

Discussion in 'Products, Businesses, & Services Archives' started by mario1257, Jul 22, 2014.
I'm going to be selling stuff at my soon to be finish store, what is a good selling price?
I assume by "Store Price" you mean the Empire Shop. The Empire Shop is used as both a rupee sink, but mainly as a price cap. The EMC Shop is generally not a good place to base your prices off, even if you are planning of selling 25% of the price. This is because the ever changing differences in the prices of certain items that the EMC Shop just can't account for. The best bet to set your prices to to go around to large malls and see what they are selling at.Good luck!
Yeah, player shops' prices are wayyyyyyy less than prices at the Empire Shop.. when I was new, I bought from the Empire Shop
Some good places to base your prices off of would be..2000 (SMP1)4005 (SMP2)7500 (SMP3)9000 (SMP4)10117 (SMP5)10498 (SMP5)13131 (SMP6)19000 (SMP9)Sorry if I missed you, I don't know any malls on SMP7 or SMP8.The /shop price is unreliable, as things such as Diamond Ore are sold at 250r per, which is the same as the /shop price. Other things, such as a beacon, are sold at 175,000 rupees, where it's only worth about 8,500-9,000 rupees.
Some items, like diamonds, are only 30% less then the shop! while others are more like 90%

Meet Dr. Craig Kraffert
Dr. Craig Kraffert is a board certified dermatologist and President of Amarte. He is the founder of DermStore.com and ReddingDerm, a five clinic dermatology practice in northern California and Oregon that specializes in both aesthetic and clinical dermatology.
Trained as a biochemist and cell biologist, Dr. Kraffert began his career in biomedical research at Scripps Institute in La Jolla, CA. Shortly thereafter, he studied medicine at UCLA and interned in surgery at UCLA Medical Center. Dr. Kraffert then trained in dermatology at the University of Miami, a program consistently considered one of the world's most prestigious and desirable.
Dr. Kraffert's adventurous spirit led him to build the most successful e-commerce company ever founded by a dermatologist, DermStore.com. Today, DermStore is owned by the iconic American company, Target Co., ensuring a lasting legacy for Dr. Kraffert's skin care passion and entrepreneurial acumen.
As a dermatologist, biochemist and skin care enthusiast, Dr. Kraffert discovered that the technology of Amarte formulations was far more advanced than anything he had experienced during the evaluation of thousands of products submitted to DermStore. This technology resulted in a combination of luxury and efficacy surpassing everything in DermStore's offering. Dr. Kraffert thus viewed Amarte as a promising company with technology and products vastly superior to everything in the American market but zero brand awareness. Determined to introduce these objectively superior products to the world, Dr. Kraffert formed an international corporate partnership dedicated to further refining the original Amarte formulations and customizing the products for the American and broader world markets. Under Dr. Kraffert's direction, Amarte is defining the global standard for luxurious and efficacious skin care systems that promote the wellness and the natural beauty of skin. Amarte is a skin care system that is more than a fusion of East and West – It is also a symbol of beauty and science intertwining, and the celebration of an enjoyable daily ritual.
Dr. Kraffert is passionate about all aspects of dermatology. He sees patients five days per week in offices spanning Northern California and Oregon and views his mission as becoming the embodiment of the "Renaissance dermatologist," constantly striving to achieve excellence at all aspects of dermatology for the benefit of patients. Dr. Kraffert's clinics contain more than 25 fully equipped exam and treatment rooms and offer an exceptionally wide spectrum of modern dermatology services. Dr. Kraffert is involved in dermatology research projects. He lectures frequently in academic and industry forums across the United States, and has been especially active in California dermatology, recently serving as the President of CalDerm, an organization he takes credit for renaming.
Each Amarte product is studied, tested, perfected and recommended by Dr. Kraffert himself.

In a move that has startled the entire nuclear industry, General Public Utilities Corporation (GPU) -- owner of the stricken Three Mile Island nuclear power plant in Pennsylvania -- filed a $4 billion damage claim against the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).
This claim, unprecedented in the nuclear industry, argues that NRC could and should have prevented the accident which occurred March 28, 1979.
The basis of this argument is the fact that the NRC sat on an analysis of a similar occurrence at another reactor for 18 months prior to Three Mile Island, only sending it to the GPU the day after the accident.
The claim was filed with the NRC this week. the commission has six months to accept or reject it. If rejected, the utility has the option of taking the claim to federal court.
"We're going to pursue this to the very end," says a spokesman for the GPU, which has almost been bankrupted by the accident and its aftermath.
Reaction among GPU's fellow nuclear utilities was sympathetic, but concerned. "They're desperate enough to try something like this," said one industry representative. "They're about to loose their jobs, stockholders' equity -- everything. But it's not particularly good for the industry as a whole."
Observes Manning Muntzing, a lawyer who once headed the Nuclear Regulatory Division of the Atomic Energy Commission, predecessor of the NRC: "Basically, the law holds that the government is immune from these types of suits. This will be a big hurdle for the plaintiffs to overcome."
Should the utility win such a court battle, however, it would have repercussions in federal regulatory activities far beyond the nuclear industry. As a result, the lawyer believes that the Justice Department will take a "keen interest" in the case and the incoming Reagan administration will have to make a serious policy decision regarding it.
There is a question whether the GPU has an ulterior motive for the claim. One speculation is that this has been done with the support of the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission, which regulates GPU's activities. The commission has failed to let the GPU pass on certain portions of the cost of cleaning up Three Mile Island to its rate base and has been criticized strongly by the NRC as a result. The GPU may be pressing this claim to convince the state commission that it has pursued every possible avenue for recouping its losses. Only then will the regulators allow the utility to pass these costs through to its customers.
Follow-up studies of the Three Mile Island accident damonstrated beyond question that the NRC was not effectively regulating nuclear reactors. But there appears to be little precedent for making this the basis of a suit as the GPU has done. Upon receipt of the claim, NRC spokesmen would only comment that the agency is studying the matter.
