'''Madness''' were a British [[ska]] band of the late 1970s and early 1980s.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They had a string of hits that combined their love for [[Jamaica|Jamaican]] music with the pop sensibility and self-conscious Englishness of earlier groups such as [[The Kinks]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Releasing their debut single &amp;quot;The Prince&amp;quot; on the [[2 Tone]] label in 1979, the group initially attracted a large following among young supporters of the [[British National Front]] (Madness being the only all-white band on the 2 Tone roster), which drifted away as the group began to express their initially ambiguous anti-racist stance more clearly, and the group began to appeal to a more mainstream audience.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Arguably the most successful of the British second-wave ska bands (their main competition being [[The Specials]]), Madness went on to achieve 23 top 40 hits between 1979 and 1986, including fifteen in the top ten. Their exuberant videos led to Madness being heavily played on [[MTV]], leading to them having a 1982 US hit with &amp;quot;Our House&amp;quot;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The departure of co-founder Mike Barson in 1984 signaled a decline in fortunes for the group, which disbanded in 1986. Four of the original seven members then formed a spin-off group, The Madness, with members of the Specials and the Attractions, which issued one poorly-received LP. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Prompted by the use of their single &amp;quot;It Must Be Love&amp;quot; in an advertisement for a British bank, Madness reformed for two gigs, dubbed &amp;quot;Madstock&amp;quot; in 1992, and continued to headline intermittent concerts throughout the 1990s, before reforming properly for 1999's comeback album ''Wonderful''. The band went on to issue an album of cover versions, ''The Dangermen Sessions Volume 1'' in 2005, and a new album is scheduled for 2007.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Frontman Graham McPherson (usually known as Suggs) has also enjoyed a solo career and has also become an occasional TV and radio presenter.&lt;br /&gt;

[[Image:ClintonHsu.jpg|right|200px|thumb|Hillary Clinton and Norman Hsu.]]&lt;br /&gt;
'''Norman Hsu''' (born 1951) was a leading [[Democrat]] fund-raiser in 2000. Hsu is a staunch supporter of [[Bill Clinton]] and his wife [[Hillary Clinton |Hillary]], raising nearly $100,000 for her Democrat primary race. In 2000 he raised over $1 million for Hillary Clinton's senatorial race&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://blogs.wsj.com/washwire/2007/08/29/leading-clinton-donor-stays-below-the-radar/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hsu pleaded no contest to [[felony]] count of grand theft in 1991 and failed to appear in court for the sentencing. A warrant was issued in 1992 and orders were for a $2 million bail for Hsu if he were arrested&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,295031,00.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;.  Hsu was found to have collected about $1 million from investors by falsely claiming he had a contract to import latex gloves&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D8RB03200&amp;amp;show_article=1&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;. Hsu was sentenced on January 4, 2008 to 3 years in prison. &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,320387,00.html Democratic Fundraiser Norman Hsu Sentenced to 3 Years in Calif. Fraud Case], [[Associated Press]], [[Fox News Channel|Fox News]], January 4, 2008&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ronald Smetana, a [[California]] deputy attorney general who prosecuted the case, believed that the [[Hong Kong]] native has fled the [[United States]], and said in August 2007, &amp;quot;We would obviously like Mr. Hsu to return and face justice.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D8RB03200&amp;amp;show_article=1&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Hsu had turned himself in on Friday August 31st to authorities in California&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2007/08/31/fugitive-fundraiser-turns-himself-in/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; but failed to  appear for his bail reduction hearing on Wednesday, September 5th, 2007, leading many to speculate that he left the country again to take refuge in refuge in China or Hong Kong.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,295828,00.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The disappearance led to much controversy because officials failed twice to carry out an order to apprehend Hsu's passport the Monday before the hearing. &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://www.axcessnews.com/index.php/articles/show/id/12255&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
Two days after Hsu had failed to appear before the scheduled hearing, the [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] apprehended him at about 7:00 p.m. MDT in [[Grand Junction]], [[Colorado]], after he had taken ill aboard an [[Amtrak]] train, and checking in to a local hospital.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://www.gjsentinel.com/news/content/news/stories/2007/09/07/090707_1a_Hsu_arrest.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://apnews.myway.com/article/20070907/D8RGFO302.html&amp;lt;/reF&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
Hsu was discharged from the hospital on September 12th, 2007, and booked into a local Colorado jail.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://www.denverpost.com/ci_6876137&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Before he skiped the hearings, Hsu typed out a suicide note and sent copies to several acquaintances and charitable organizations.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://online.wsj.com/article/SB118964287463525841.html?mod=hpp_us_whats_news&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hsu incident has not been the first incident of illegal campaign funding towards the Clinton's. In 1997, [[Bill Clinton]] was investigated for a campaign fund-raising scandal, and a report found that four persons were linked to large illicit contributions thought to have come from [[China]]'s government through [[Hong Kong]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://washingtontimes.com/article/20070904/NATION/109040060/1001&amp;amp;cid=1120333010&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; These past instances have led some to question Hillary Clinton's plea of innocence in the matter. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hsu has been found to have contributed to a number of [[Democrat]]s including Pennsylvania Governor [[Edward G. Rendell]]; New Jersey Governor [[Jon Corzine]]; Massachusetts Senator  [[Ted Kennedy]]; California Senator [[Dianne Feinstein]]; Ohio Senator [[Sherrod Brown]], Senator [[John Kerry]], New York Governor [[Eliot Spitzer]]&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/09/06/AR2007090602748.html?hpid=topnews&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;,and  Minnesota Senate candidate [[Al Franken]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://online.wsj.com/public/article/SB118835199704811801.html?mod=blog&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After Hsu illegal activity was discovered, some [[Democrat]] candidates gave Hsu's donations to charity. [[Liberal]] [[Rhode Island ]] Representative [[Patrick Kennedy]] refused to give away Hsu donations.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5iZdtu1IVDZ2dgc3NJfmcJtW5nbYw&amp;lt;/reF&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

'''Spent fuel''' refers to irradiated fuel that is permanently discharged from a reactor. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Unless reprocessed, this fuel must eventually be removed from its temporary storage location at the reactor site and placed in a permanent repository. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Spent fuel is typically measured either in metric tons of heavy metal (i.e., only the heavy metal content of the spent fuel is considered) or in metric tons of initial heavy metal (essentially, the initial mass of the fuel before irradiation). The difference between these two quantities is the weight of the [[fission]] products.&lt;br /&gt;

[[image:Johnbrown.jpg|200px|thumb|John Brown. Ca. 1850]]&lt;br /&gt;
'''John Brown''' (May 9, 1800-December 2, 1859) was a [[Protestantism|Protestant]] [[abolitionist]] whose devotion to the cause of ending [[slavery]] cost made him a key figure in the years leading up to the [[Civil War]]. Unlike some other abolitionists, Brown believed that the use of violence was morally justifiable in the fight against slavery. He was born into a [[Christian]] family, and was taught from a young age that slavery was incompatible with the message of the [[Bible]]. &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://www.civilwarhome.com/johnbrownbio.htm&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Brown became a part of the [[Underground Railroad]], then went to the newly formed territory of [[Kansas]] in 1855 to participate in the fight between the &amp;quot;[[free stater]]s&amp;quot; and the pro-slavery &amp;quot;[[Bushwhackers]]&amp;quot;. In May 1856, Brown and several other men (including four of his sons) attacked the homes of slavery supporters near Pottawatomie Creek in [[Kansas]] and killed all of the inhabitants with swords. In 1859, Brown led 21 men in an attack on a federal arsenal in [[Harper's Ferry]], [[Virginia]] (note: Harper's Ferry is now part of [[West Virginia]]), intending to arm slaves in [[slave revolt]]s. The raid failed, and Brown was hanged on December 2.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Henry David Thoreau]] said of Brown: &amp;quot;No man in America has ever stood up so persistently and effectively for the dignity of human nature.&amp;quot; &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/aia/part4/4p1550.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Tragic Prelude&amp;quot;, a famous mural by John Steuart Curry depicting Brown holding a rifle in one hand and a Bible in the other, is prominently displayed in the Kansas State Capitol in [[Topeka]]. &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://www.governor.ks.gov/Facts/kscapitol_johnbrown.htm&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;[[Image:Babygoats.jpg|Sure, why not go have it up their arse Andy?]]&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!-- The Bible frequently references '''Asherah''' in passages such as 1 Kings 15:13&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
He even deposed his grandmother Maacah from her position as queen mother, because she had made a repulsive Asherah pole. Asa cut the pole down and burned it in the Kidron Valley.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There is some debate about whether Asherah was the name of a goddess or whether &amp;quot;asherah&amp;quot; was simply a title for a particular type of cultic image (the tree/pole). Some passages from the Bible seem to suggest that Asherah was a goddess of some kind, associated with [[Baal]] as found in 1 Kings 18:19:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Now summon the people from all over Israel to meet me on Mount Carmel. And bring the four hundred and fifty prophets of Baal and the four hundred prophets of Asherah, who eat at Jezebel's table.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Asherah was also the name of a Syrian goddess, the consort of one of the Baals, and based in Lebanon. According to texts from [[Ugarit]] she was the consort of [[El]], and the mother of seventy other gods. Thus, she was a fertility goddess. &lt;br /&gt;
