Y-12 Infiltration Costs Could Top $100 Million

The United States could ultimately spend more than $100 million responding to an illegal nuclear weapons plant entry by peace activists one year ago, issue experts told the Knoxville News Sentinel for a Saturday report.

The price tag would include costs from audits, worker education initiatives and other follow-up activities carried out at the Y-12 National Security Complex after three members of the group Transform Now Plowshares infiltrated the Tennessee site on July 28, 2012. The intruders cut through multiple fences to reach the exterior of the site's bomb-grade uranium storehouse, where they dumped blood, hung banners and wrote peace slogans on buildings prior to their arrest.

The site suffered another embarrassment last month, when an apparently lost driver slipped onto facility grounds with morning commuters.

On Sunday, a gun accident wounded two protective force personnel at the facility, the News Sentinel reported.

CBS boss: Racism on 'Big Brother' is 'appalling'

It's not just viewers who take issue with the racist remarks that have been made on "Big Brother" this season. CBS CEO Les Moonves, speaking publicly for the first time about the issue, said he isn't pleased with the insensitive comments either, made most notably by houseguest Aaryn Gries and a few others.

"I find the behavior absolutely appalling," Moonves told reporters Monday at the Television Critics Association's summer press tour in Beverly Hills. "I've watched every episode of the show. My wife ('Big Brother' host Julie Chen) would kill me if I didn't! We discuss it quite a bit. I think we're handling it properly. We did not comment on things that were (said) until it affected the show."

He added that unfortunately, the show is "reflecting how certain people feel in America."

As for the casting of personalities, Moonves noted that, "Obviously, you don't want wallflowers on reality shows. You want people who are interesting. Obviously that can sometimes lead to controversy."

Most of the bad behavior has been caught by "Big Brother's" ever present 24/7 live-stream cameras, content that is available with a pay subscription. Only a small portion of the derogatory remarks have made it to the air, with the majority of it uttered by Gries. But the live feed has revealed other racist and homophobic comments by GinaMarie Zimmerman and Spencer Clawson, as well as a few others. Most of the remarks have been made about African-American contestant Candice Stewart and Korean-American housemate Helen Kim.

Though the contestants are now aware of Gries' remarks, they're keeping her in the "Big Brother" house because they don't think she can win. But if she does?

"If she wins the whole prize, America should take a look at itself," Moonves told reporters after the session.

Since the controversy first broke earlier this month, none of the network's top brass had addressed the issue. But CBS had issued short statements to the press saying the network was "weighing carefully issues of broadcast standards," and that "Houseguests reveal prejudices and other beliefs that we do not condone."

Gries, Zimmerman and Clawson have all faced real-world repercussions for their in-game behavior, though they don't know it yet due to being sequestered for the show. Gries has been dropped by her modeling agency, Zimmerman has been fired, and Clawson's employer has released a statement distancing themselves from him.

Angels' Pujols goes on DL, could miss rest of year

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) ? Los Angeles Angels slugger Albert Pujols was put on the disabled list Sunday with a tear in his left foot that could end his season.

Manager Mike Scioscia said the star will be sidelined for "a significant amount of time."

Pujols has a partially torn plantar fascia, an injury that has bothered him most of the season. He aggravated it while running out a single in the ninth inning of Friday's 6-4 loss to Oakland.

"This is something that, talking to Albert, has been going on for six or seven years," Scioscia said before the Angels' game against Athletics. "It's been going on for a long time and he's managed it. This is a big blow to our team right now."

Although surgery seems unlikely, Scioscia didn't rule out the possibility that Pujols could be sidelined for the rest of the year.

Pujols left the team and returned to Los Angeles on Saturday morning for additional testing. That's when the injury was diagnosed.

"We'll just take it one step at a time and see how it goes," Scioscia said. "But this is not something that's going to heal in a week or two. After that we'll just wait and get direction from our medical department and how Albert feels. It's a significant amount of time, that's what it's going to take."

The three-time NL MVP, who signed a $240 million, 10-year contract with the Angels as a free agent in December 2011, has served as the club's designated hitter most of the season. Pujols was hitting .258 with 17 home runs and 64 RBIs before re-injuring his foot.

The Angels went into the season with hopes of winning the AL West. They began the day with a 48-54 record, 12 games behind the first-place A's.

Outfielder Kole Calhoun was called up from Triple-A Salt Lake.

Wildfire damages military power, data lines

The Associated Press

Published: July 28, 2013

FAIRBANKS, Alaska ? A wildfire near Fairbanks earlier this summer damaged power lines and fiber optic cables on Eielson Air Force Base training grounds, but it won't affect the upcoming Red Flag-Alaska training exercise.

The Stuart Creek 2 wildfire took out more than 7 miles of power line and 2 miles of cable, but no military buildings were lost, the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner reported.

It hasn't yet been determined if the military will replace the power and data lines, Air Force spokesman Lt. Elias Zani said.

Other military areas are being used for training, and Zani said the damage won't interrupt the Red Flag training exercise planned from Aug. 8-23.

"It is expected that all training objectives will be met," Zani said.

The 133-square-mile wildfire started June 19 at the military's Yukon Training Area, about 25 miles east of North Pole.

Col. Ron Johnson, garrison commander at Fort Wainwright, has said the fire was caused by artillery training. But since making that comment, the military has stepped back, saying it's too early to determine the cause of the fire.

The wildfire spread beyond military lands, eventually destroying three cabins and two outbuildings.

The fire continues to burn, but its severity has been downgraded. The Alaska Division of Parks and Outdoor Recreation on Friday lifted access restrictions in the Chena River State Recreation Area, except for backcountry areas still close to the fire.
