Iran soon to accept bids for two more nuclear power plants
TEHRAN, April 15 (RIA Novosti) - Iran will soon announce a tender for the construction of two more nuclear power plants in the south of the Islamic Republic, an official of Iran's Atomic Energy Organization said Sunday. Ahmad Fayazbakhsh said the power plants will each have a capacity of 1,000 to 1,600 megawatts and will be built at Bushehr where Russia is completing the construction of Iran's first nuclear power plant. Iran has been at the center of international concerns since January 2006 over its nuclear program, which some countries, particularly the United States, suspect is geared toward nuclear weapons development. Tehran has consistently denied the claims, saying it needs nuclear power for civilian purposes. Fayazbakhsh said some major European and Asian contractors have already displayed interest in the construction of NPPs.

Architects, designers and builders are letting their inner children run wild as they work to design original life-sized children's playhouses and garden structures to be auctioned off at Stanford Shopping Center's biennial Dreams Happen Playhouse Gala and Auction. Beginning May 5, the finished products will be displayed at Stanford Shopping Center and will be auctioned off June 2 to benefit Rebuilding Together Peninsula.

"The proceeds raised fund our efforts for up to two years and allow us to significantly impact the lives of low-income families on the Peninsula.'' The design teams have named their structures with tantalizing names like Waggy the Dog, Go'pher Gold Mine and Tahoe Trading Post, according to a statement from Rebuilding Together Peninsula.
