Your doctor and/or nurse will probably:
1. Check your child's weight and height, calculate body mass index (BMI), and plot the measurements on growth charts.
2. Check your child's blood pressure, vision, and hearing using standard testing equipment.
3. Ask questions, address concerns, and offer advice about your child's:
Eating. Schedule three meals and one or two nutritious snacks a day. Serve your child a well-balanced diet that includes lean protein, whole grains, fruits and vegetables, and low-fat dairy. Kids this age should get 3 cups (720 ml) of low-fat milk daily (or equivalent low-fat dairy products). Aim for five servings of fruits and vegetables per day. Limit foods and drinks that are high in sugar and fat, and offer no more than 8 ounces (240 ml) of juice per day.
Sleeping. Kids this age generally need about 10-11 hours of sleep per night. Lack of sleep can make it difficult to pay attention at school. Set a bedtime that allows for adequate sleep and encourage your child to follow a relaxing bedtime routine.
Physical activity. Children this age should get at least 60 minutes of physical activity per day. Limit screen time, including TV, DVDs, video games, smartphones, tablets, and computers, to no more than 2 hours per day of quality children's programming.
Growth and development. By 10 years, it's common for many kids to:
4. Perform a physical exam. This will include listening to the heart and lungs, examining the back for any curvature of the spine, and checking for the signs of puberty. A parent, caregiver, or chaperone should be present during this part of the exam, but siblings should remain outside in the waiting room to give your child privacy.
5. Update immunizations.Immunizations can protect kids from serious childhood illnesses, so it's important that your child receive them on time. Immunization schedules can vary from office to office, so talk to your doctor about what to expect.
6. Order tests. Your doctor may assess your child's risk for anemia, high cholesterol, and tuberculosis and order tests, if needed.
Here are some things to keep in mind until your next routine visit at 11 years:
These checkup sheets are consistent with the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP)/Bright Futures guidelines.

What is this?
Upload a midi file, hit play on the control. It will be rendered on a 486 DX2 66 running dos with a true hardware Roland SC-55. Be a bit patient. It's an old computer.
Tech JargonA lot of music from the early 90s was written to be synthed on the Roland SC-55 and it's various cousins. Emulation of the device via soundfonts has not come close in all areas. Upload a midi and it will be synthed on real hardware and hopefully play over shoutcast. I have a (really bad computer) system running a TCP/IP stack in dos via packet driver, along with said Roland synth. For the heck of it I wrote a series of batch\qbasic scripts and chained curl + dosmid + some php scripts together. The result is that this here 22 year old machine will synth MIDI files you upload, and they will be streamed over an Icecast server automatically in the order they are queued. It probably is horribly dangerous to put such an old machine on the internet, a backup is in place as this is probably going to be wildly unstable and prone to issues. It probably will not be up all the time, I want to get back to playing Zeliard. ;)

- Open Epson Scan under the Applications tab. -- It is a good idea to click and drag Epson Scan to to the toolbar at the bottom of the screen, so that you can easily access it in the future.
- Be sure to scan sheet music with the following settings in Epson Scan (once you set each of the tabs, your settings should be saved, but always check after you login):
- Mode: Professional Mode
- Document Type: Reflective
- Document Source: Document Table
- Auto Exposure Type: Photo
- Image Type: 24-bit Color
- Resolution: 600 dpi
- Adjustments: None of the tabs listed should be checked (Unsharp Mask, Descreening, Color Restoration, Backlight Correction, and Dust Removal). Uncheck them if they are checked.
- Configuration Tab: Click on "No Color Correction"
- Be sure to scan sheet music with the following settings in Epson Scan (once you set each of the tabs, your settings should be saved, but always check after you login):
- Open the Sorted Sheet Music excel file:
- Click on Share Drive
- Click on Digital Projects
- Click on Digital Coll-in progress
- Click on u0004_Sheet_Music
- Click on SheetMusic-Metadata
- Click on sheet_music_sorted.xlsx
- Once open, the Sorted Sheet Music excel file can be left open for the duration of the scanning (unlike Tracking Files).
- You will add file names (in column C) and note how many pages were scanned (in column K) for each piece of music you complete. The file name is always the next number in line, even if that piece of music is missing from the box. If a piece of music is missing, type in the file name (SM0436, for example) and under Notes in column K, type SM0436 NOT FOUND IN BOX.
- Be sure to save your additions to the file.
- Scanning Sheet Music
- Before scanning a piece of sheet music, compare the title, composer, and call number to the Sorted Sheet Music excel file. (The call number is especially important! It must be identical to the entry in the excel file.)
- Scan each page of sheet music in order. Epson Scan numbers them in order of how you scan them, so this is very important.
- Wearing gloves, remove the sheet music from its plastic cover and place in the middle of the flatbed scanner.
- Under Epson Scan, click the Preview button.
- Once the preview is finished, create a border around the image by clicking and dragging the mouse. Be sure to leave extra space on all sides of the image, because you will need this space in Adobe Photoshop later. This marquee border can be moved or made smaller or larger for each subsequent image. (This border is very important because it cuts down on the scanning time. If the scanner scans the entire flatbed, the process takes much longer.)
- After previewing the image and setting the border, click Scan. A box called File Save Settings will open. You will have to create a new folder for each piece of sheet music you scan.
- Under Location:
- Click on Other, then click on the Choose... tab.
- Click on 500 GB Storage.
- Click on Sheet Music.
- Click on the New Folder tab. Type in the name of the new folder (this is the same name as the file name you entered in the Sorted Sheet Music excel file).
- Click on the blue Create tab.
- Click on the blue Choose tab.
- Under File Name:
- Prefix: Change this to the name you created for the new folder under Location.
- Start Number: Change this to 001. (You will only have to change the starting number for the first page of each sheet music file you scan. The program will automatically change the number for each subsequent page within a file.)
- Under Image Format:
- Type: TIFF (*.tif) -- There are other tiff types, so be careful not to choose another.
- Check Show this dialog box before next scan and Open image folder after scanning. Uncheck Overwrite any files with the same name to avoid making a mistake and overwriting other files.
- Click OK.
- Under Location:
- The image usually takes about 3 minutes to scan.
- When the scan is complete, the folder and image will open in a new window.
- With every new folder you create, be sure that the permissions settings allow all users to read and write on your files.
- Click on the folder
- Click on File
- Click on Get Info
- Click on Details
- Under LIB/domain users and Others, click on Read & Write
- Click on Apply to enclosed items...
- You will have to enter your password to finalize your changes to permissions
- Optimize the Scanned Sheet Music
- Open Adobe Photoshop CS3 under the Applications tab. -- Like you did with Epson Scan, it is a good idea to click on Adobe Photoshop and drag it to the toolbar at the bottom of the screen. This way you can easily click and drag files to Adobe Photoshop for optimization.
- Click on the new image you have created and drag it to the Adobe Photoshop application.
- The image will open in Adobe Photoshop.
- The Actions in the upper right corner should consist of the following buttons -- Rotate 90 CCW, Rotate 90 CW, Align Edges, and Add Pica Border. To access these actions:
- Click on Load Actions
- Click on Share Drive
- Click on Digital Projects
- Click on Digital-Coll in progress
- Click on u0004_Sheet_Music
- Double-click on Sheet Music Processing.atn
- Once the correct actions are loaded and in Button Mode, click on either Rotate 90 CCW or Rotate 90 CW depending on whether the image needs to be rotated counter-clockwise or clockwise.
- Then click the lower right corner of the image window and expand the window until there is empty gray space on both sides of the image.
- Click on Align Edges.
- Only click in the gray areas to align the image! If you click on the image itself, you will distort the image. (If you do accidentally distort the image, click Escape and it should return you to the original unaltered image.)
- Click and hold down the mouse button in the gray area and move the mouse until the image is aligned.
- Try to align the music and text, more than the page itself. Sometimes the music and text is printed a little crooked or slanted on the page, and it is the music and text that patrons will want to look at, so it is more important that these are aligned.
- Once the image is aligned, press enter.
- Create a marquee border around the image.
- A cross will appear once Photoshop has finished aligning the image.
- Place the cross in the upper left corner of the image and click and drag, so that you create a marquee border around the image. Unlike Epson Scan, this marquee border should be directly against the image, outlining it without extra white space. This is because the Pica Border creates an extra border, so that step is done for you. (The sheet music pages are often damaged or worn, so it is all right if there is a little extra white space here and there. Just don't intentionally create an extra white border around the entire sheet of music.)
- Once you have created the marquee border, click Add Pica Border. It will take a moment for the image to save.
- When you become comfortable with this process, it is best to scan one image while optimizing another. Because the scanning process takes so long, this will save time.
- Record your work in the Tracking Files excel file.
- Click on Share Drive
- Click on Digital Projects
- Click on Organization
- Click on Digital Program Logs
- Double-click on TrackingFiles.xlsx
- Click on the SheetMusicwadehall worksheet tab at the bottom
- List the File Name in column A, how many pages were scanned in column D, and the date you completed the scanning in column E.
- Save and close Tracking Files, so that others can access and enter their information.

Xavier Rudd set to drop ANTI- debut and announces tour plans
Acclaimed singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Xavier Rudd will release his Anti- debut Food In The Belly on January 23, 2007. Informed by his extensive travels as a surfer, Rudd's sixth album embraces an array of cultures and results in a style that is unique, fresh and vital. In advance of the release, the Australian-born, Canada-based Rudd will tour the U.S. and Canada next month when his three-week trek gets underway on November 13, 2006 in Boston.
"[Rudd] offers a strikingly original mix of music," writes The Boston Globe. "Some of his sound (and idealism) echoes the surf-folk of Jack Johnson, while his Weissenborn guitar-playing evokes Ben Harper. But mostly, Rudd is on a plateau of his own, playing a one-man blend of guitars, didgeridoos, stomp boxes, djembe drums, and even slide banjo. Expect this album to crack some top 10 lists."
Recorded by Xavier and co-producer Todd Simko in a Vancouver house-turned-studio, he calls the disc, "a celebration," adding, "This is a shaky time and we have our issues, but most of us in the western world are incredibly fortunate. It's not gonna be this way forever and I feel really appreciative. I guess that gratitude became a theme of this album."
Released last year in Australia, where it has been certified gold, Food In The Belly has yielded praise from the likes of such celebrated and successful tunesmiths as Ani DiFranco and the aforementioned Johnson, both of whom Rudd has toured with. To say it's contagious is an understatement, as evidenced by the rolling, finger-picked exuberance of "Energy Song" or the tender "Miss You In My Life."
"I feel lucky to do what I'm doing," says the 28 year old Rudd, who was raised in Torquay, Victoria near the famous surf spot Bells Beach. "I'm a very fortunate musician, to have so many people support and appreciate what I do, but I'm also a lucky human being. I think we all are. I guess that's what this record is about."
Here are Xavier Rudd's tour dates:
11/13/2006 The Paradise Boston MA 11/15/2006 9:30 Club Washington DC 11/16/2006 Webster Hall New York NY 11/17/2006 Bronson Center Ottawa Canada 11/18/2006 Le Medley Montreal Canada 11/20/2006 Kool Haus Toronto Canada 11/21/2006 Centenial Hall London Canada 11/24/2006 Burton Cummings Theater Winnipeg Canada 11/26/2006 The Eric Harvey Theater Banff Canada 11/27/2006 The Eric Harvey Theater Banff Canada 11/28/2006 Winspear Edmonton Alberta 11/29/2006 Jack Singer Calgary Alberta 12/1/2006 Neumos Seattle WA 12/2/2006 Aladdin Theatre Portland OR 12/4/2006 Whistler Conference Center (Sea to Sky Ballroom) Whistler Canada 12/5/2006 Orpheum Theater Vancouver Canada

Making people aware of usages and advantages of a product is the chief purpose of a promotional staff in Kenwyn . Looks are essential for the promotional personnel, equally more important is associated qualities like good manners, friendliness and, patience transparency of deliberation and speech fundamentally all the facial appearance as a person that ultimately will make him a likable person for the target clients.
The mixture of attractive appearance and personable manners works wonders in captivating a positive impression from the clients. A crumb of awareness of the product being promoted also comes across as an added benefit in managing the work better.
"I had to make my own living and my own opportunity! But I made it! Don't sit down and wait for the opportunities to come. Get up and make them!" - C.J. Walker
Start ups are quite challenging particularly if this is a business idea that has not been explored before. If it's a new idea, then you have an opportunity to make a grand success out of it, if you can articulately convince the public of their need for whatever it is you have created. Furthermore, you need a positive attitude to help you stay on course during the infantile stage of developing your brand. The following important points are to be noted when starting up a new brand.
Be ready to go the extra mile: The readiness to go the extra mile as you pursue your dream is very important. Many successful businesses did not just attain success on a platter of comfort. They went above and beyond in their pursuit and never gave up until they achieved their set goals. As an advice, don't start a business, if you are not well 'cooked up.' You must know your onions before you set sail.
Stick around Like-minds: It is said that 'birds of same feather flock together.' Putting a team of hardworking people whose skills are complementary should be your focus. Friendship or family ties should not be the basis for your choice. You may be friends with an individual but the question is, does the person have the skills required to start-up and sustain the business? I am not also saying that individually started companies cannot do well but investors will prefer a business that is run by a dedicated team of skilful people. Don't compromise the quality of your team.
Know your product: You must understand what you do and be confident about it. You must be able to explain in details and as well be able to summarize your business plan depending on who you need to talk to and the time available to do this. You must be able to highlight why your product or service is different and what value this will add to customers. When people accept your service or products, it means they are willing to pay for their ignorance which necessitates their need for what you have to offer. You must be confident about your products. Ability to convey the details about your products and services to your audience is germane to the success of your new business.
Meet the needs of the people. When you have a product or service that meets the needs of the people, then you are on the path to success. Look for areas of people's needs that are recession proof. For example, whether there are hard times or not, people must eat, clothe, be sheltered, move from one place to another, visit the hospital, have some sort of entertainment etc. When you create quality services and products to meet these needs of the people, your business is definitely going to be in demand.
Mentoring: You need a Mentor. This is an important aspect you must pay attention to if you must succeed. You need someone who will give you an unbiased appraisal. Someone that will not give you a pat on the back when you are not doing it right. Nobody is a repository of knowledge. There is always someone out there that understands the terrain better than you do. A mentor will stick by you in thick and in thin. When others desert you, your mentor will not give up on you.
Vision: A man is defined by his vision. You can never grow bigger than what you see. You may set out small but you've got to have a big vision for you to take on the world. Look beyond what you are seeing presently. Think outside the box. There is still a lot to achieve and much more opportunities abound. It is said that man has only utilized 10% of his brain power thus you can imagine the huge potentials available for you to tap into.
Passion: Passion is required to drive your vision. Whether you are starting up a business, meeting with investors or talking to would-be customers, you must exude passion. To become successful, you must love what you are do. Passion takes out complacency; it gets you fired up to pursue your dream even when people don't believe in you.

EDITOR'S NOTE: The following was submitted at the March 25 Oak Ridge City Council work session, and also submitted to The Oak Ridger as a guest column.
EDITOR'S NOTE: The following was submitted at the March 25 Oak Ridge City Council work session, and also submitted to The Oak Ridger as a guest column.
Mr. Watson & Fellow Council Members:
At our last retreat, I proposed we each share our specific positions regarding the Economic Diversification Fund. A successful economic development strategy must focus on both retaining and increasing business and residents with a primary goal of establishing a more competitive financial position. For Oak Ridge, that means becoming a more affordable place to live and work. With that in mind, I present my point-by-point response to Mr. Watson's Eight Point Economic Statement:
1. I support the city manager's proposal to eliminate this fund and distribute the costs within the general fund IF that distribution includes some reduction and/or reallocation of funds to the direct benefit of our taxpayers. Of the $1.4 million we currently spend, I recommend we attribute half towards a reduction in the property tax rate (the equivalent of 7.7 cents). Such a reduction will benefit every existing and future business and home owner.
Given the tremendous impact of the EPA mandate on our water/sewer rates, the only responsible action we can take with the $119K water works transfer is to apply it in a manner that minimizes future rate increases. The remaining $581,000 would still be a very generous amount to attribute to economic development when compared to our staunchest competitor who spends less than one-tenth that amount ($52K per year) for the same cause.
2. I support modifying the current tax abatement policy by making Council the final approving authority on any and all PILOTs, TIFs or other tax incentives. As it stands, the IDB has issued over a dozen of these subsidies and is preparing to issue a second for the same business. They sit on a bank balance of over $1M that the city cannot access and, to date, we've no hard data to support the claim that these incentives have truly benefitted the tax-paying citizens and businesses who pay all of their taxes without protest.
If anything, these incentives lure in temporary tenants who move on once they've met their obligation. Farragut brought in the only Costco in the entire state without incentives. We should aim to attract long-term businesses that are more committed to the vitality of our city than how much they can save in the short term.
3. I agree all future contracts should contain measurable benchmarks that clearly demonstrate return on investment (ROI). We have far too many organizations taking credit for any and all successes but none that take responsibility for our failures. This charade must end.
4. I neither agree nor disagree with the recommendation the CVB be brought in house. Having served on the CVB board of directors for a year, I do believe they are grossly overfunded and have yet to demonstrate any true ROI. Because the city is their sole source of funding, I would recommend a 50 percent reduction to about $200K with a stipulation some of that funding be allocated for tangible tourism improvements, i.e. the rowing lane improvements cited in this year's CIP. A narrowed focus on those events that bring in the most overnight visitors should be factored into any contract. As it stands, the three largest attractions (rowing, Windrock and the half marathon) are unaffected by CVB efforts.
5. I agree capitalizing on the UPF project should be our top economic development priority. I believe the most important aspect of that initiative should be an emphasis on reducing the cost of doing business in Oak Ridge via a reduction in our property tax and fee structure.
6. I support the development of an internal economic development team that does not increase the city's total number of full-time employees (FTEs). Such a team should remain dynamic (via contracts) to avoid stagnation and myopic foresight. Additionally, we should be looking to reduce FTEs whenever attrition will allow given how heavily staffed we already are (compare our 396 FTEs to Maryville's 300).
7. I support Mr. Watson's recommendation that festivals, arts, events and entertainment should be outsourced and funded by community sponsorships. We are blessed with a tremendously rich base of organizations that fill practically every imaginable art and entertainment need. Even if we were to lose some of the many free events we've provided for in the past, Oak Ridge would still be flush with affordable art and entertainment opportunities.
8. I agree, in part, Oak Ridge should continue to belong to some organizations that contribute to our goals. However, we should eliminate those that have competing interests and/or have proven ineffective. The Chamber of Commerce is the most heavily funded of all to the tune of $268K per year. This is outrageous, especially when compared to surrounding communities who've experienced significantly greater growth. Farragut pays $14,000 to their Chamber while Lenoir City pays even less at $7,050 per year.
I take issue with our Chamber on a number of fronts. First is their treatment of some of their members. I've heard countless stories from past and present members that the Chamber lures them in with great promises only to hound them with requests for free or reduced services. This is an unacceptable way to treat anyone, especially dues-paying members, many of whom are struggling small businesses.
And even though they have no problem taking from taxpayers, the Chamber denies meeting access to non-members. I recall being contacted by Mr. (Parker) Hardy regarding the sign ordinance meeting they held a few months back. He wanted to clarify that non-members, even though affected by the Chamber's recommendations, would not be allowed to participate.
In addition to the $268K we give them, the city generously allows the Chamber to occupy a prime piece of real estate for less than $600 per year. The value of that gift is exponentially compounded when you consider the property tax revenue we could be collecting if sold to a private developer.
Finally and most importantly, our Chamber has demonstrated no significant impact on our overall financial health. Furthermore, they cannot fairly fulfill their obligation to advocate for their members while simultaneously being so reliant on the city. It's time they stand on their own merit and become self-sustaining like other chambers across the country. I support cutting the city's contribution to the Oak Ridge Chamber of Commerce by 100 percent.
While I agree City Council and senior community leadership hold some responsibility for economic development, we must be realistic about what government can impact within the framework of a free market. Our past attempts greatly exceeded our scope of influence, as Mr. Watson has pointed out. Those efforts have proven both unsuccessful and wasteful of taxpayer monies.
This Council must ensure that we are making the best use of every single dollar entrusted to us. Part of that responsibility requires we acknowledge and do something about the burden that we've placed upon our constituents. If we add to the 7.7 cents I referenced earlier, what my fellow Councilwoman Jane Miller has proposed (a 10 percent reduction in the general fund), we can save ALL taxpayers a total of 29 cents of their $2.39 property tax rate. That's a 12 percent annual savings! That should be our goal, and I will personally strive to see it become a reality, as there truly is no stronger marketing message than "Oak Ridge is cutting taxes!"

Brattleboro Selectboard still sees wide gap in '14 budget
BRATTLEBORO -- The Selectboard, Town Manager Barbara Sondag and the town's department heads, battled through a detailed, and sometimes tense, four hour meeting Saturday morning to try to reduce the proposed fiscal year 2014 budget.
The board was facing a more than $700,000 gap between the 2013 budget and the proposed 2014 one, and with little will to ask more of Brattleboro taxpayers next year Sondag and the board slashed away at the budget all morning to try to stave off a steep tax increase.
Board Chairman Dick DeGray said he wanted to finish the work Saturday, but after Sondag introduced an 11th hour plan to take some accumulated money out of the capital plan budget to pay for expenses this year, the board asked for more time to try to understand the implications of Sondag's proposal.
"At some time we have to make some damn decisions about what the hell we are doing," a frustrated DeGray said at the end of the four-hour session.
In the end the board nipped away at more than 20 line items and was able to reduce the budget by about $15,000.
That still left about $356,000 to cover, and that was without considering the $325,000 interest payment for the police-fire renovation.
Even though the board was unable to finish its work it was clear that there were not likely to be too many other cuts this year and the budget was most likely going to increase by between $350,00 and $700,000.
Now the board just has to figure out how to pay for the services.
Sondag's plan includes taking money out of the capital budget.
The money in that account comes from years of accumulated projects that came in under budget.
It is mostly money that has already been borrowed, and the move would require approval from town meeting representatives.
Some of the board members said the move was a "sleight of hand," and would only put off some hard decisions one more year while the board uses borrowed money, which will eventually have to be paid back, to fund this year's expenses.
Finance Director John O'Connor said he was going to do some analysis to see which plan would cost more in the short, and long, run.
Sondag met with the department heads after last Monday's budget session and recommended additional reductions to bring the budget down.
She said her cuts came mostly by making small adjustments across the board and not by cutting any staff or services.
Any furthers cuts, she said, would come at the expense of services or staff.
But at the same time Sondag said that every single cut will be felt at some level and will affect the work done by the town's staff in 2014.
"These cuts will change how we do our business day to day," she said. "They do have implications."
The board did not seem willing to go further and make staffing or service cuts, though that option remained on the table.
DeGray offered a number of recommendations of his own last week, but Sondag added some of those back in after meeting with department heads, while offering other cuts to bring the budget down.
Sondag questioned whether the board backed DeGray up on all the cuts because no votes were taken.
She said it was frustrating to be asked to adopt the proposed cuts from the board without a vote.
DeGray was likely frustrated that Sondag did not include the cuts from the previous meeting and the board had to go over all of the previous cuts once more, line by line.
There were some big increases that the board could not avoid.
Health insurance will jump by $105,000, an approximately 18 percent jump from this year.
The board went through the budget, almost line by line, and voted on each proposed cut and addition.
And while the board did take some funding proposals out of the budget, others were kept in.
The board agreed to find the funds to support an ASL interpreter for the board meetings, at the annual cost of $12,000.
The Planning Department also got its $30,000 for consultation services associated with the projected costs of rewriting the zoning regulations.
The board discussed reducing Selectboard salaries, but DeGray said it should be up to the next board should decide on the salary.
Selectboard member Chris Chapman wanted to get rid of a proposed $6,000 Selectboard salary increase, but the rest of the board voted to keep the increase.
Sondag wanted additional money for a GIS mapping system that she said would help the town in the long run, but the board slashed $1,000 from that fund.
The discussions got a little testy when the board wanted to add $5,000 to support the NEA arts grant, right after the board cut the GIS funding.
Sondag said that while the arts grant was important she could not support making a cut to a vital program while supporting the art grant.
Sondag and Parks and Recreation Director recommended that non-residential adults pay an extra $5 next year which Sondag said would bring in an extra estimated $2,000.
Sondag also said that the town is just starting to use a new database in the rec department which will give the town more accurate numbers in the future,
Board member David Gartenstein said he wanted to know if the town was subsidizing non resident services and said he hoped the board would have more information next year to make that decision.
Board member Chris Chapman said he could not support cuts that affect "the most vulnerable" in town, while fellow board member Ken Schneck said a steep tax hike would likely affect the most vulnerable, as well, and possibly more so.
The board has until the end of January to finalize the 2014 budget.

Despite the dire warnings from the nuclear industry and its backers, Japan's hot summer has passed with no power blackouts or shortages even though just two out of its 50 nuclear reactors were in operation.
The Japanese government's announcement last week of the end of its summer power-saving initiative proved the country's new energy strategy can and should include an immediate phase-out of nuclear power.
With its support for nuclear power, the government has been putting its people unnecessarily at risk, given the ongoing threats from earthquakes, but it underestimated the public.
The Japanese people have shown in recent months that they can achieve the power savings needed to achieve the nuclear-free future almost 90% of them are calling for.
Japan was completely nuclear-free for almost two months during the peak power demand period after the country's reactors were closed in the aftermath of the Fukushima disaster.
The feared power shortages used to justify the reckless restart of the Ohi nuclear power plant never materialised. This is precisely what independent experts were advising in April, but the government chose to ignore them. Even without the ongoing devastating fallout and scandals from Fukushima, the environmental damage, the contamination of the food chain, the corruption, cover-up, and collusion, the nuclear industry in Japan is in deep, deep trouble.
The summer of 2012 has shown once and for all that Japan – and the wider world – does not need nuclear power.
And yet, the scaremongering by the nuclear industry and its supporters in Japan bordered on the hysterical at times.
Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda claimed that Japan "cannot survive without nuclear energy" when his government restarted the Ohi nuclear power plant against expert advice and public outcry.
Importantly, plans for rolling blackouts in the Kansai, Hokkaido, Kyushu and Shikoku regions were never needed as the country met its power-saving targets.
The proof is here in black and white. Switching reactors back on and extending their lifespans for decades will create more unnecessary risk for Japan's population, its businesses and the national economy.
The only way forward that will satisfy all three is to abandon destructive, expensive and unwanted nuclear power and make a strong commitment to renewable energy.
The summer's power savings proved Japan could carry on as usual without nuclear power. A complete phase-out of nuclear power should now be included when the country announces its new energy strategy for 2030.
As Greenpeace's Energy [R]evolution report shows, further energy efficiency efforts and dynamic expansion of renewable energy can easily replace nuclear power, and rapidly put Japan's economy and greenhouse gas emission reduction efforts back on track.

I guess you missed the portion of the story where Japan has gone from a national surplus (which they have had for half a century) to now a deficit. That is always great for a nation!
But of course there were no blackouts, Japan is now a massive fossil importer. That is what happens when you shut down nukes, it is replaced by fossil.
So I guess Greenpeace is now a fossil industry shill? Do you guys actually care about the environment or do you just hate nuclear power because it is the "cool" thing to do within Greenpeace?

@merelyuseful: before Fukushima nuclear accounted for 5% of the total energy consumption in Japan (including non-electric); shutting down nuclear can't have doubled emissions.
@George C: are you sure that the current rate of exchange of the Japanese currency has nothing to do with Japan trade deficit?

@ George C - Greenpeace is fighting for a nuclear phase-out world-wide as well as for a fossil phase-out. Our Energy [R]evolution Scenario for Japan, made in the wake of the Fukushima disaster, shows that Japan can keep its climate targets while keeping its nuclear capacity shut. You can download it from http://www.energyblueprint.info.
That the Japanese government is following another track so far - by being soft-handed towards the energy monopolies - it its political choice and you cannot blame Greenpeace for that, nor the Japanese population. The currently proposed programme to move away from nuclear before 2030 is in that respect indeed not strong and sufficient enough. But keeping nuclear power stations open longer would not address the fundamental flaws of that programme: these are in the lack of sufficient support for the development of the alternatives... Nevertheless it's an interesting step into the right direction and with global renewable energy development going as it does, I think there is a lot of space for optimism that the current proposals could lead to a lot better result in the end.
That the shift away from nuclear does not automatically mean an increase in fossil fuel use and greenhouse gas emissions can be seen currently in Germany, where 2011 saw a 5% decrease in CO2 emissions in times of a positive GDP growth.

I was under several impressions that make me read this article with scepticism. I write in the hope that any of them can be categorically undermined. I would love to see the end of nuclear power, but I'd far rather see emissions falling, and I do not understand the two to be compatible.
(1) As a worldwide strategy, ending nuclear will increase dependency on fossil fuels because renewable sources are nowhere near able to make up for the loss. I thought in the average country (ie, not endowed with hydroelectric etc) renewables contributed much less than 10% to total energy supply and nuclear made much much more than that.
(2) I understood that the reductions in emissions recently achieved in many countries was due to the collapse in the price of gas, leading to its replacing coal, and that this was despite the added burden of reducing nuclear power.
(3) Renewable development subsidies are decreasing because they have proven to be unaffordable in today's climate, so saying they are insufficient is not a realistic strategy for change.
(4) The best way to control the climate is by making CO2 emissions cost money. This will increase incentives to develop renewable sources, but will also incentivise nuclear over gas and especially coal. This seems a desirable and realistic political strategy that should take precedence over nuclear eradication. However this might be partially undermined by adding regulation that prevent businesses from making investments based on the regulatory environment.
(5) Japan's example cannot be generalized to apply to other countries to achieve these conclusions you draw because (i) the problems with Japan's nuclear industry are not related to nuclear technology, but to political nepotism; (ii) the achieving of power saving targets was due to the Japanese public's incredible spirit of working together; (ii) they now import large quantities of fossil fuels, whereas they used to export, which has crippled their balance of payments in an already fragile economy. (Your 'proof in black and white' that this would endanger businesses and the economy sounds like the hysterical scaremongering you accuse the nuclear industry of - this was unwarranted and only weakens a potentially rigorous argument.)
In sum due to my beliefs, I feel banning nuclear power generation is a distraction from a message that needs to be simple - I'd prefer political energies were focused on pricing carbon.
I'd appreciate being corrected on any of these understandings.

@Chris - Fortunately your scepticism is not based in reality.
(1) Nuclear power only covers a tiny bit of the total global energy production and therefore its part can be taken over by efficiency and renewables, as is shown in practice in Germany and Spain, as examples. Real growth rates of the different renewable energy sources are factors 6 to 10 higher than predicted by the International Energy Agency and the IEA's recent predictions move fast to the ones in the energy [r]evolution scenario - the only scenario study around that was more or less in line with reality over the last 8 years in that respect. Nuclear energy makes only in a few countries more than 10% of the electricity mix and as far as I am aware only in France and Slovakia more than 10% of the total energy mix.
(2) The lower gas-price in the US (not worldwide, because in most parts of the world the gas price is linked to the oil price) because of fracking has certainly helped destroying the case for new nuclear there. But the gas price is not the reason behind falling emissions in countries like Germany or Sweden. (And fracking not the solution to the US greenhouse gas emission addiction).
(3) There are different support forms for renewable energy. Subsidies are indeed an unstable support form and subject to political rambling. Feed-in-tariffs appear to be a more sturdy way to balance the inequality between renewables as relatively new technology coming on the market against fossil fuels and nuclear that in the past received far larger amounts of subsidy and in many parts of the world still do. The idea behind support for renewable energy sources is a kick-start support in the start (in the form of quite high guaranteed feed-in-tariffs), which gradually decreases towards zero.
There have indeed been problems with the feed-in-tariff structure of PV in the Czech Republic and Germany because costs of PV fell so much more than the annual FiT reduction that the market boom ran in some areas out of control. This has been corrected in both countries, be it in the Czech Republic with a lot of anti-renewable hysteria which did the debate no good.
Currently, the first two large scale PV-power stations in Spain are finalised without any subsidy or feed-in-tariff. In Germany there are wind providers who prefer to deal on the market instead asking for feed-in-tariffs.
New nuclear, however, is desperately looking for large pots of subsidies - and those for the long term. The feed-in-tariff /. contracts for difference they seek in the UK, for instance, practically mean a subsidy for 30 years at least...
(4) Nuclear power is already /de facto/ phasing out, because most of the power stations were build in the 1970s and early 1980s and are approaching the end of their technical life-time. The problems we face are plant life-time-extension (which pushes power stations over their technical limits and thus increases the risk on larger accidents) and new construction (which is simply too expensive). The first is a game of Russian roulette, which is, when the development of efficiency and renewables is taken seriously, not necessary at all (see for instance Germany). The latter - nuclear new build - is ruled out in the market because of the high construction costs (see recently Bulgaria, the US and many 'new entrants' that stepped away from the nuclear option, as well as the debate around subsidies in the UK). Hence the search and lobbying for new subsidies by the nuclear industry.
(5) Japan can meet it's Kyoto commitments while leaving the currently stopped nuclear capacity off-line for good. We have shown so in the energy [r[evolution scenario for Japan that can be downloaded from www.energyblueprint.info. So why take the risk?
The interesting thing is that in the last year, the market in Japan has proven one thing: higher electricity costs are an effective tool to push for savings - both through technology and behavioural change.
Carbon pricing certainly has an important role to play in fighting climate change, but not in the wishy-washy way it is happening now (with too many branches getting free allowances and too many allowances on the market keeping the prices too low). The end-of pipe-solutions as debated in the UK, like a bottom-carbon-price (a discussion driven by the nuclear industry looking for subsidies, not by concerns for climate change!), will not help a single bit as long as the amount of emission rights on the market is still too high.
Fighting to tackle climate change implies also getting rid of the barriers against change. Nuclear power is one of these barriers. It cannot deliver meaningful emission reductions, what it can deliver it does so too late, against too high costs, it is a barrier and in future even a block against uptake of large volumes of variable renewable input, and it has its inherent problems like the unsolvable waste problem, the rest risk on large accidents and proliferation. Fighting to halt global warming and fighting nuclear power go hand in hand - both are part of a truly, positive and realistic energy [r]evolution.

in the case of Japan nuclear used to make up 5% of the total energy consumption. It is hard to believe that between renewable sources and power savings Japan can't do without that 5% coming from nuclear power.
By the way, Japan power saving targets (about 10%) have been met and exceeded this summer. Note however that such power savings were devised to curb peak demand (for air conditioning) rather than total consumption. At the same time it was also found out that there was no much need to curb peak demand in the first place because Japan has plenty of generation capacity.
Nuclear is no answer to CO2 emission curbing: it costs too much and is way too risky -- ask people in Chernobyl and Fukushima.
