Green at Heart
Improve five core systems in your home for better energy efficiency and savings will flow.
Going green in your home can start with a task as tiny as recycling your cereal box. Slightly more ambitious folks may compost their yard waste or take cloth bags to the grocery store. But if you are looking for ways to save green while going green, take a look at these major systems inside your home for energy and cost saving opportunities.
HVAC system
The heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) system in your home is unfortunately the mechanical system that is most likely inefficient; often heating one room too much while leaving another freezing cold. The United States Green Building Council (USGBC) also states that the HVAC system is the weakest link in an energy-efficient building. Sometimes parts are put on backwards, sometimes the ductwork is not insulated, sometimes the system's design simply has inlying errors.
The solution: Work on this system first. Write down your grievances, find a building professional or HVAC contractor to help analyze the problem, then get quotes to fix the errors or work on the system yourself. At the very least, don't forget to insulate the ductwork. Once solved, your home will be pleasantly cool in the summer and toasty in the winter without paying at a premium.
Lighting system
LED and fluorescent bulbs are 75% more efficient than specialty and incandescent bulbs, emit less heat, and often last as much as a couple dozen years. "If every American home replaced just one light bulb with an Energy Star-qualified bulb, we would save enough energy to light more than three million homes for a year, more than $600 million in annual energy costs, and prevent greenhouse gases equivalent to the emissions of more than 800,000 cars," according to the Department of Energy on its website, energystar.gov.
The solution: Begin taking an inventory of all the older, inefficient bulbs in your home. Furthermore, look for ideas to redesign part or all of the lighting system. New energy-efficient lighting fixtures and perhaps even skylights could reduce your dependence on electricity and add a thoughtfully-designed lighting ambiance throughout the home.
Plumbing system
Some areas of the country, such as in Ohio, have more of an abundant water supply than other areas such as in Arizona. Nevertheless, as populations increase, the demand grows, causing municipalities to build larger and larger water treatment plants. Homeowners then pay more for the water they use and eventually clean water may become more of a scarcity. Furthermore, supplying and treating cold water requires a significant amount of energy. According to the Stanford University's Earth System's Program, letting your faucet run for 5 minutes uses about as much energy as letting a 60-watt light bulb run for 14 hours.
The solution: Begin installing new faucets, shower heads, and toilets with low-flow fixtures. The amount of water emitted from a low-flow faucet is one-third as much as that of a regular faucet; yet, it feels like the same amount when washing your hands. Replace fixtures that are used more often first.
Insulation system
The average household spends over 40 percent of its annual energy budget on heating and cooling costs, making an efficient insulation system essential. The indoor temperature should not have large degree fluctuations such as a cold chill in the air just before the thermostat kicks on the furnace or walls that are cold to the touch in the winter.
The solution: Begin with the most simple and inexpensive step by adding insulating shades and curtains to windows. Consider replacing 15- to 20-year-old windows with new, efficient units. According to the National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC), 15 percent of the household energy costs can be reduced by replacing the windows. Plant deciduous trees on the south side of the home that will provide shade in the summer while allowing solar heat to penetrate through the bare branches in the winter. When replacing the roof or siding, ask your contractor to add enough additional insulation so that the roof system equals at least an R-value rating of 30 and the exterior walls equal an R-value of 22.
Indoor air system
Americans spend 90 percent of their time inside, yet according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, indoor air pollutants may be two to five times, and occasionally 100 times higher than outdoor levels. Many people also suffer from poor ventilation, radon, lead paint, mold, unwanted microorganisms, and chemicals from building materials and cleaning supplies, etc.
The solution: When renovating and redecorating, choose materials, furniture, and paints that will not off-gas carcinogenic VOCs (volatile organic compounds that may contribute to cancer). Some indoor air quality problems require special kits that can be used by the homeowner and by professionals alike. If radon and mold are detected, then there are special systems, equipment, and construction maintenance measures that can be done to remedy the air quality problems. It never hurts to run these tests, especially if someone in the home already has asthma or any other compromised breathing condition.

We are part of Voyagers 2012 and are putting on a breakfast in May that will focus on how the advancement of technology will affect leadership/managment styles over the next 10 years. For example- we believe collaberation, multi-tasking, agility, communication, versatlity will take on entirely new meanings.
How will leaders need to adapt and prepare for this evolution that is on the horizon? all comments are welcome! Thanks for your insight

It requires leaders to be fluent in new technology - both the tech but also the culture and norms of new communication technology
Requires leaders to be even more human. As new technology like video, Twitter, internal collaboration, requires leaders to be with their people and speak with a human voice
awesome stuff, thanks!
Older blog post, but gets at my thinking on this subject:
Thanks Andrew!
For government, the biggest impact comes with a change in administration. At it's core, IT advances are about lowering transaction costs. Over the past 10 years, content storage and management has been the partner trend. In the 1990s, process management was the partner trend. If we assume mobile technologies (and end-user devices) will be the partner technology over the next ten years, then tech-savy leaders will demonstrate that they have figured out how to use mobile devices and app's development to differentiate their organizations' performance. We are likely to see a big round of government leaders sponsoring mobile apps development to show that they are "ahead of the curve." Will their action provide big gains in government effectiveness? Will these leaders turn government into an information or apps provider to drive America into self-governance models?...probably not. I cannot see government leaders at the supervisory level threatening their operating models.
So, in 2017, when a new Administration shows up, I would anticipate lots of leaders who come into government and dramatically shift the use of mobile computing to drive government productivity up. That probably means lots of work around integration across levels of government, while shutting down mobile apps development efforts that benefit government dedicated developers and compete with commercial apps stores.
I also think this will have dramatic implications on data ownership and bandaids like data.gov. Many of you may have seen Steven VanRoekel's FOSE speech about getting a handle on 400,000 data sets. The issue for leadership isn't just the data sets, but answering questions such as how many times are different government agencies collecting the same data (there are over 6000 forms at forms.gov)? How do 6000 data collection forms become 400,000 data sets? How much federal regulatory reform (the basis for the 6000 forms) will be doable politically, as local governments continue to use Twitter, Yelp, etc. for regulatory enforcement and give up less effective data-collection and licensing regimes (e.g., can you get better health care reviews from Twitter or another website than the decades old government attempts at publishing such info)?
I raised a similar question last August - What are the defining characteristics of leaders in the Digital Era? - and got some great responses. Later this week I am going to publish a post that shares the feedback I received, provides some preliminary models for framing leadership competencies, and solicits additional perspectives and insights. I may include a link to this exchange there, and I will be sure to post a link to the post here.
PS - The GovLoop responses to my initial question will be in the post, including the link to Andrew's 6 competencies post.
Thanks Courtney!
I think, overall, the workforce is going to become a lot more decentralized. Although I just posted a blog about the challenges of telework at some agencies, I think these problems are going to be solved over the next 5 to 10 years because office culture as a whole will change. Teleworking is already here. Online education is already here. And as devices like smartphones get cheaper, more and more people will have access to technologies that will allow them to work from anywhere, at any time. As workers spread out, leaders of the 21st century will have to adopt styles that allow them to effectively manage employees who are, literally, all over the place.
This is great insight with key implications for how agencies operate. Some seem to be focused on consensus based decision making, so that a lot of time is spent walking halls to build support for your point of view. Others want to see people working, and their managers often consider the ability to see/prove work is most important. Too many agencies fear confronting people with change in light of data that shows significant reforms to be needed.
If Dorothy is correct, maybe we'll shift from those management styles that rely on "going along to get along." Instead, we would see leaders and manager shift from friendship-based styles to a more data-driven, result-based management framework.
Thanks Mark for your insight and info!
Thanks Dorothy!
Not sure if you saw this thread of answers when we cross-posted it in our Gov 2 group:
One of the things I find interesting is that this environment, not necessarily the technology but the environment the technology has wrought, is showing the fundamental lack of leadership skills by those in leadership positions currently in the government and business. While both the things Andy and Charles mention are aspects of good leadership, the skills I think that are essential are vision, communication, and fluid thinking. It is not enough to know how to navigate the road before you; you must also know where you are going and why. A good leader must have vision enough to recognize risk and threats and courage to keep moving toward the goal while adjusting for setbacks and the unexpected.
Good leaders will use whatever technology is available to them to advance their mission. Today's technology increases communication and decision-making when applied properly. Leadership is communication and decision-making. Decision-making is about observing the situation at hand, orienting yourself to the situation with your mission goal in mind, making a decision on that information and acting on that decision. Acting knowing that your action, your input, will change the dynamic and hopefully that change will be in your favor. If not, then recognizing the change and trajectory, deciding and acting again using what ever technology will enable you to gather information to make better decisions to move closer to your goal in a timely manner.
It is not about the amount of information, but the accuracy and timeliness of relevant information that makes the difference. Knowing what information is relevant and what is not is also a key skill of a leader. Understanding what are your key performance indicators, why they are your key performance indicators, and when to change them is critical. Technology can help if it supports a leader's KPI and communication with and among the team.
Back in the early 1990's I had the opportunity to look over and into the cockpit of the Soviet Sukhoi SU-27 "Flanker" fighter aircraft. It was sparse and relatively rudimentary especially compared to the US McDonnell-Douglas F-15 Eagle. At the time both aircraft were the height of aeronautical achievement for their respective countries. I also met the first US Air Force Pilot to fly the Flanker. His normal aircraft was the Eagle. He said something to me that I find relevant to this conversation. He said, something to the effect: The SU-27 is an amazing aircraft. It's power and maneuverability are very close to the F-15. I would not want to be in a dog fight with any of these SU-27 pilots I've been flying with, they are very, very good. But as long as I can knock them out of the sky 4 miles before they can see me I won't have to ...
Technology that provides responsive communication and relevant, timely, and accurate information; plus leadership that inspires the team to remain on task and on target will equal mission accomplishment.
So perhaps the real challenge is: How to continue leveraging timeless leadership methods in an era of data overload and information scarcity? I agree with Charles, and go a bit further: Truly great leadership has always been about understanding that leadership emerges from the interaction of a leader, the team, and the situation. Rapid adaptivity has always been the coin of the realm, the question is how to evolve our competencies in an accelerating environment.
Trust one's intuition is ideal in a high-stress environment, rely on your experience to guide you. However, Cognitive Resource Theory holds that the experienced leader will continue to rely on intuition without reflection in low-stress environments. This endangers innovation, and the very adaptivity needed for successful leaders.
As ever, context matters.
I agree that great leadership styles are timeless...but wondering if there are a couple new competencies that have become more important:
- ability to analyze lots of data and make decisions more quickly
- trusting one's intuition in making that quick decision even though data is not fully baked and keeps on rolling in...
Those are just a couple = not new necessarily...but maybe added emphasis for today's leaders. "Rapid adaptivity" might be the best way to put it.
Well said Charles.
Andrew: I think the question that should be asked is, has technology changed what are effective leadership styles? From my own observations, it hasn't. Effective leadership today is not much different than the time of the Roman legions. Technology might have changed the ways we apply leadership techniques, but team building, empathy, communication, honesty, and integrity, are still as important as ever if one is to be effective as a leader.

Health Benefits of Taking a Nap
What will be more likely to give you a better boost taking a nap or drinking a cup of coffee? Sleep experts say, in almost every instance, a short snooze is the winner.
The fable afternoon siesta has a rotten reputation as the refuge of the lazy and weak-willed, but the reputation is undeserved. Napping is actually normal, healthy behavior, a natural response to human body rhythms that society has suppressed in all except babies and seniors. Harry S. Truman was a well-known napper as was Winston Churchill, Albert Einstein and John F. Kennedy.
A short break can dissipate tress, increase alertness, and even boost productivity. As researchers at the University of Pennsylvania found, people were better able to solve mathematical problems after a brief rest.
A new study by Harvard researchers found that taking a 60-90 minute nap has a benefit similar to that of nighttime sleep and that combining nighttime sleep with napping has twice the effect.
Whats more, while getting a full night's sleep before driving is the ideal, taking a short nap before driving can reduce a person's risk of having a drowsy driving crash. Sleep experts also recommend that if you feel drowsy when driving, you should immediately pull over to a rest area, drink a caffeinated beverage and take a 20-minute nap.

Two Eagle Scouts were presented with plaques containing photos of their city parks projects by Duluth Mayor Nancy Harris and Kathy Marelle, director of the Duluth Parks & Recreation Department. The ceremony occurred at the Feb. 11 Duluth City Council meeting.
Eagle Scout Jonathan Van Eerten from Troop 56 was recognized for completion of his Eagle Scout project at Rogers Bridge Park.
Jonathan dismantled the old, decaying foot bridges near Pavilion 1. He designed and built new foot bridges that connect pedestrian walkways from the pavilion to the park green space. Jonathan's footbridges saved the city from having to appropriate maintenance funds for the bridges.
Jonathan also installed directional signage directing park patrons to parking, playground and pavilions at the park.
Eagle Scout Matthew Dalton from Troop 419 was recognized for completion of his Eagle Scout project at W.P. Jones Park.
Matthew designed and installed directional signage for the park nature trail, designed and built seating areas along the trail, and improved the trail surface.
The W.P. Jones nature trail is utilized by the surrounding neighborhoods. The directional signs will navigate park patrons through the various turns and sections of the nature trail. The seating areas offer places for walkers to rest and enjoy nature.

At the end of October, kids and adults dress in costumes in such a way to scare neighbors, friends and relatives. It is called Halloween and worth celebrating it. When you combine with candy, spooky costumes with fun, Halloween is one of the most enjoyable holidays. Here are some Halloween costumes that are considered favorite among the people for years.
The costume of cowboys and the sheriffs has always been a favorite Halloween costumes among the younger generations. When I was a kid, the cowboy costume was very popular and even nowadays I still see fair share of boys in cowboy costumes. Cowboy costumes are very popular among boys just as the princess costumes are famous among girls. Little girls always love to dress up in dresses like that of princess, which sparkles. Some girls also love to dress up in witch costumes with wands and scepter to look evil.
The costume of pirates is also very popular among boys especially after the Pirates of the Caribbean series. Even girls want to be dress up like captain jack sparrow. The other famous pirates costume includes captain Hook. Apart from these, peter pan is also popular among kids who fancy fairy tales and fantasy movies. Some girls even wear the costume of Wendy.
For girls, the witch and princess are two costumes that won the heart of many girls. They work well and the costume industry also earns a lot designing such costumes. This all depends on individual though most girls prefer costume that has different shining colors, which look sparkles at night. Some wanted to look scary whereas some wanted to look fairy. There are also different kinds of mask available with the costumes. For the witch, they have long nose with a cone shaped hat, which makes them more evil when worn. For the pretty witch, the color shedding on the costumes are lighter and don't have a long hook- nose at all.
Naughty boys and girls always love to look evil so most of them chose their Halloween costumes in such a way to look scary. The costume of a devil is scary and controversial. There are parents who don't want their kids to dress up in a devil costume. The devil costume has a tail with horns all in red with black tight pants. This Halloween costume is one of the coolest costumes among some kids.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) - County commissioners in Central Texas have decided not to renew a contract for a monthly gun show because organizers declined to require background checks for all firearm sales.
Travis County leaders voted Tuesday not to extend a lease allowing Saxet Gun Shows to hold the event at the county-owned Exposition Center in Austin.
The Austin American-Statesman reports (http://bit.ly/1admR1t ) Saxet had been holding the show at the center since 2010. It was negotiating a contract with commissioners to extend the shows into next year. But talks stalled when the county wanted the company to require the background checks.
Federally licensed firearms sellers are already required to run criminal checks, but private sales don't come with the requirement. County officials wanted to ensure the private sales were covered, too.

To say the shoes are cute and confortable is a big understatement. The height of the wedge is just perfect. The shoes are very well made. I wear them all day to work, I not only get lots of compliments, but at the end of the day my feet don't hurt. I just love them! I was hesitant at first, because I was not familiar with this particular brand and I always stick to the well known and expensive ones, but boy am I glad I was in an adventurous mode and took a chance on these. Nope, there are no regrets. Did I mention that the price was just right too!

Round Rock Police have released video surveillance of a woman they say set a fire during a jewelry store robbery.
According to police, the suspect entered QY Jewelry Store at 220 Sundance Parkway just before 2:00 p.m. Witnesses said the woman began browsing in the store before a clerk eventually helped her try on different pieces of jewelry. Once she had the jewelry, she began to flee and began struggling with the employee. She tried to run to the front door but an employee locked it.
At this point witnesses told police she ran back to the counter and lit a fire using the flammable contents of a cup she had been carrying. As employees worked to put out the fire she fled out the back door.
The suspect is described as possibly being an Asian woman in her early 40's. She has a very light skin complexion and a large mole on the left side of her face near her nose. She is between 5'2" and 5'4" tall and weighed between 130 and 150 pounds. She was last seen wearing a red knit hat, white or off-white jacket with a hood, black shirt, black pants, black shoes and prescription glasses. She might have been driving a silver car.
Investigators have posted the surveillance footage online and are asking for help identifying the woman.
Round Rock Police are asking anyone with any information about the robbery or the suspect to contact the Round Rock Police Department (512) 218-5500 or report an anonymous tip to 847411 using the password RRPD.

Sophomore Matthew Gallo, an East Meadow native, was a big contributer to the Muhlenberg College men's lacrosse team in 2012.
Gallo appeared in nine games for the Mules. He picked up his first career point on an assist against top-10 Stevens and then added another helper in the next game against St. Mary's.
Playing against the 10th toughest schedule in the country, Muhlenberg finished the season 2-12, including six losses by three goals or less. One of the Mules' two wins was a 9-5 victory over Montclair State, which went on to win its conference championship and qualify for the NCAA Tournament, one of nine Mule opponents that played in the postseason.

It's never a good day when people lose their homes to a raging sea, whether they be summer beach houses or year 'round residences.
Such is the case on Plum Island, where half-a-dozen structures have been claimed by Mother Nature and up to 40 more are in jeopardy of further destruction.
The wind, waves and tides of the Northwest Atlantic are relentless in their attack on Massachusetts' fragile and vulnerable 1,500-mile shore.
Especially hard hit are the frontline defenses to the commonwealth's coast — the 681 barrier beaches that make up almost a quarter of the Bay State shoreline, and Plum Island is one of them.
These highly dynamic land forms migrate in response to sea level rise accelerated by global warming. The beaches are not disappearing, washing away or being destroyed, as the media so often claim, but are moving and reshaping themselves as they react to the forces of nature. The problem is when we build on those beaches and then attempt to stop them from moving beneath us.
Barrier beaches, such as Plum Island, generally consist of a narrow beach with the ocean before it, temporary wind- and wave-driven sand dunes in the middle, and a salt marsh, bay or harbor behind.
Together the beach, vegetated dunes, surrounding tidal flats and water comprise the barrier beach ecosystem. Left intact, these beaches provide storm buffers for both humans and wildlife that live in the uplands, marshes and embayments behind them.
A typical Massachusetts barrier beach tends to move landward. The strength of any barrier beach lies is its ability to roll over and re-establish itself as an ecological unit. This movement is generally caused by winter storm overwash where waves carry sand from the ocean over the beach through the dunes to the landward side of the barrier. Over time, if left unaltered, a barrier beach will respond to future storm overwash and rebuild itself at its new location looking much as it did before the storm. In some areas, such as at the Cape Cod National Seashore, the rate of landward movement of barrier beaches can be as much as several feet per year.

President Pinhead has retired a piece of his rhetoric. On August 30, when he vowed: "We will stay the course, we will help this young Iraqi democracy succeed, and victory in Iraq will be a major ideological triumph" in the war on terrorism, he gave up one of his favorite pet phrases. We won't have "stay the course" to kick around anymore. "He's stopped using it," said spokesman Tony Snow. "It allowed critics to say, well, here's an administration that's just embarked upon a policy and not looking at what the situation is, when, in fact, it's just the opposite."
Let's see - if Pinhead stops saying "stay the course" it means that he's doing just the opposite, is that it? Or does it mean that if he stops saying "stay the course" that he can continue to do it, but we just won't call it that? If we stop saying "world hunger," does that mean that it will cease to exist as well - as a policy, at least?
My tiny left-leaning liberal mind is confounded by an administration that continues to ask for support on a task that they seem unwilling to describe fully. World War Two had a fairly clear objective. After Hitler painted the bunker with his own gray matter, things were pretty much over. Dismantling Japan's war-making capabilities brought about VJ Day. In Iraq, it would seem that we need to rebuild the things that we blew up, and the things that have been blown up in the days since our mission was initially achieved. And we need to make sure they can defend themselves against the ongoing insurgency. And the lights and plumbing. And democracy should flourish. That would be the Popular War, as opposed to the ever-present-liberal-media-infused Unpopular War. You know the one. The Unpopular War is the one where lives are being lost daily for vague notions and uncertain ideals. If we are really there to put up a big filling station and bleed Iraq dry as we bivouac in the desert, anticipating Armageddon - say it. Then we know what course we're staying - or in this case, not.

It sounds to me like we are staying a course that has gotten out of hand. No more talk of Osma...where is he? Remember way back when Pinhead and him were friends..along with Cheney, the terminator and Enron executives...how quick the American people forget.......now there are weapons of mass destruction in China and Korea...WOW Pinhead.....God help us....the REAL AMERICANS.

Spiced Pilau Rice
The amount given here will be enough for 6 people with a curry comprising several dishes, but if it's to be served with just one dish, the pilau will serve four. For what's commonly known as pilau rice, you simply follow this recipe, omitting the herbs and spices.
Serves 4-6

|There is no list of equipment specified for this recipe.
Use a pestle and mortar to crush the cardamom pods and the cumin and coriander seeds. Then warm a 10 in (25.5 cm) frying pan (that has a lid) over a medium heat. Add the crushed spices (the cardamom pods as well as the seeds), turn the heat up high and toss them around to dry-roast them and draw out the flavour – this will take about a minute. After that, add the oil and the onion and fry the onion till lightly tinged brown.
Next stir in the rice – there's no need to wash it – and turn the grains over in the pan until they are nicely coated and glistening with oil, then pour in boiling water measured up to the 1 pint (570 ml) level in a measuring jug. Add the cinnamon, bay leaf and a good seasoning of salt, stir once only, then put the lid on, turn the heat down to its lowest and let the rice cook for exactly 15 minutes. Don't remove the lid and do not stir at any stage from now on, because this breaks the grains and makes them sticky. After 15 minutes, take the pan off the heat, remove the lid and cover the pan with a clean tea cloth for 5 minutes before serving. Then empty the rice into a warmed serving dish and fluff up lightly with a fork before it goes to the table.

It's always fun to see how readers find Outsports, and during the Olympics there's always a rainbow of fun results. The search terms from places like Google and Yahoo! are the best. Things like "Matthew Mitcham nude" (wishful thinking) and "Bjorn Barrefors naked" (again, really?) make us chuckle.
There's also a boatload of gay speculation that creeps into Google searches...and leads people to Outsports.
During the opening weekend, Google users were curious about "Ian Thorpe boyfriend." What made this curious was the fact that the Australian Olympic swimmer wasn't competing this year and hadn't competed since 2004. Instead, he was a commentator on the BBC...and somebody's gaydar went off. Searches brought readers to our 2009 piece about Ian Thorpe's Brazilian roommate. Go figure.
This week, attention has been focused on Abby Wambach, the American soccer player who now-famously got a rare, game-changing call in their semifinal match against Canada. Four of our top-10 search terms in the last week involve Wambach and her sexual orientation: 'Is Abby Wambach gay,' 'Abby Wambach lesbian,' 'Abby Wambach gay' and 'Abby Wambach Sarah Huffman.' What's interesting about that last one? Huffman isn't in the Olympics.
While the sexual orientation of these two Olympians have been of most interest, there are others.
British diving star Tom Daley rounds out the top-10 list of "gay" searches. He's not the only diver -- American bronze medalists Troy Dumais and Kristian Ipsen have been top-of-mind for "gay" searchers. More about the "gay diver" phenomenon, and Daley specifically, tomorrow.
"Danell Leyva gay" has crept into the searches...despite the fact he sends nude photos to women. Others generating buzz:
- Sam Mikulak gay
- Carl Lewis gay
- Jake Dalton gay
- Tim Tebow gay

Robin van Persie was substituted as a precaution after being chosen to lead the line while Danny Welbeck also pulled up sharply after challenging for one through ball but soldiered on. Meanwhile, Rio Ferdinand and Michael Carrick were left on the sidelines for the entertaining clash.
"We've got a couple of wee worries," explained Moyes to MUTV. "Robin just felt his thigh in the first half and we didn't want to take any chances.
"Danny Welbeck felt his groin when he came on and we've just got to make sure they're all okay especially with so many games coming up. We've still got a few games to play before the season starts when we get back home."
Chris Smalling and Ashley Young enjoyed run-outs as they step up their bid for full fitness while Wayne Rooney remains on course to feature later in the pre-season campaign.
"With Rio, we just decided to give him a rest. I wanted to get Jonny Evans and Chris Smalling a game so we rested Rio. Michael just felt his groin. It's a bit tight from last night. It's not anything we can see keeping him out. He just missed training and the game tonight.
"As far as we know Wayne [Rooney] is coming on, He's started light jogging and the feedback I'm getting from the physios is that he's progressing. Hopefully those dates are still on track."

SALEM — Police say a motorist was hospitalized and then arrested on a charge of drunken driving early yesterday morning after she crashed into a building on Washington Square North and then reversed into a fence on Salem Common.
Kathryn Rose Maloney, 20, of 26 Pleasant St., Salem, was arrested on a charge of drunken driving after she was transported to North Shore Medical Center with a bloody nose and mouth.
Officers responded to Washington Square and Pleasant Street shortly before 2:30 a.m. and found a 2004 Nissan Altima against the rod iron fence on the common. According to the incident log, Maloney said she had been trying to make a left turn from Washington Square onto Pleasant Street when she lost control of her vehicle.
Maloney "stated she felt the vehicle pull to the left, and then accelerate into the building" at 53 Washington Square North, wrote police.
"She indicated that the engine was still racing when her passenger....reached over the center console, attempted to pull her foot off the gas," police wrote. "She thinks that the passenger may have hit the gear shift in the console, and pushed it from drive to reverse."
The vehicle then "shot backward" across Washington Square, jumped over an island and crashed into a section of fence, police wrote.
The passenger accompanied Maloney to the hospital but did not complain of any injuries.
Police found Maloney in the waiting room at the hospital later and asked her to submit to a field sobriety test, according to the log.
She reportedly failed three and was arrested.

The plan for a Sprouts Farmers Market and 175 units of senior housing won key approvals from the Albany Planning and Zoning Commission on Dec. 11, and two appeals of the commission's 4-0 decision have been filed, sending the issue to the City Council.
The first appeal, filed on Dec. 19, was signed by attorney Naomi Young of Bay Area Legal Aid representing two co-appellants, the non-profit Albany Housing Advocates and Amber Whitson, one of the people living in the illegal encampments on the Albany Bulb. The other appeal was filed on Dec. 20 by Albany resident Edward Fields, an outspoken critic of the proposal.
The UC development plan has been the subject of debate, numerous public hearings, appeals and litigation since it was introduced six years ago. An earlier version named Whole Foods as the grocer, but it pulled out last year and was replaced by Sprouts.
Albany Housing Advocates and Whitson are also plaintiffs in a lawsuit filed Oct. 2 against the City of Albany, accusing the city of violating state mandates for local governments to facilitate affordable housing. The suit alleges that the city lacks a required state-certified Housing Element, which is supposed to describe how the city intends to meet its allocation for needed housing, especially affordable housing.
In their appeal of the planning commission approval of the UC plan for Sprouts and senior housing, Albany Housing Advocates and Whitson say the commission's action was invalid because it was based on the city's General Plan, which in turn is invalid because it lacks the essential Housing Element.
The commission's action included approval of tentative parcel maps and design review.
The appeal says the city cannot approve parcel maps without a valid General Plan, and that the city's General Plan cannot be valid without a valid Housing Element.
The appeal also says the commission's action "impedes the City's ability to identify adequate sites to meet its outstanding regional housing needs allocation, thereby preventing it from bringing its housing element into compliance with state law." The Housing Element is supposed to identify potential sites for additional housing. The UC proposal would occupy 6.3 acres of currently undeveloped land, a commodity in short supply in Albany.
The appeal lodged by Fields cites numerous reasons for rejecting the commission's action, including the assertion that the city's General Plan is invalid due to a lack of a valid Housing Element.
Fields says also that the approval should be reversed because the proposal fails to meet requirements of the city's municipal code and other planning requirements, including parkland dedication, waterway descriptions and proper identification of public areas, among others. He says also that the proposal fails to provide the required amount of open space along Codornices Creek.
The planning commission's decision followed nearly two hours of public comment by 45 speakers, most of whom opposed the plan, saying that Sprouts represents unhealthy industrial agriculture and corporate greed and that the currently vacant land should be used instead for urban farming and agricultural education.
Supporters said the project has been intensively reviewed, debated and ultimately embraced by the majority of the community and that it's time for it be approved.
An environmental impact report on UC commercial development of the site received City Council approval in July 2012.

Energy Efficiency in Appalachia
Author: Southeast Energy Efficiency Alliance
Published: March 1, 2009
( pdf | 3234.7 kb)
Your rating: None
Comments (0)
The Appalachian Region's energy consumption is expected to increase 28 percent between 2006 and 2030, compared with a 19 percent increase forecast for the United States as a whole. This study conducted by the Southeast Energy Efficiency Alliance (SEEA), on behalf of the Appalachian Regional Commission, finds that a bold energy efficiency initiative could cut projected energy use in the region by up to 24 percent by the year 2030. It also concludes that the implementation of energy-efficiency measures has the potential to help create tens of thousands of jobs and save billions in energy costs over the next 20 years.
Energy Efficiency in Appalachia addresses several questions, including:
- How big are the energy-efficiency resources in Appalachia?
- How quickly can these energy-efficiency resources be realized?
- What policies and programs can most effectively translate these resources into energy savings?
- What impact will such policies and programs have on jobs and wages in Appalachia?
Policy actions and program models across industrial, commercial, residential, and transportation sectors are weighed. The most effective policies modeled in the study include:
- incentives for commercial heating, ventilation, and air-condition (HVAC) and lighting retrofits
- expansion of industrial assessment centers to help industries identify energy efficiency opportunities
- support for commissioning of existing commercial buildings to ensure energy efficiency standards
- clean car standards
- residential retrofit with resale energy labeling
Appalachia includes all of West Virginia and parts of 12 other states: Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, Maryland, Mississippi, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia.

Being left, knowing some history, and paying reasonable attention to United States policy and society and current events mean rarely being surprised at egregious violations committed by people who command and wear the uniform of the United States. Is it surprising that American forces have committed "sadistic, blatant, and wanton abuses" (the language of Major General Antonio M. Taguba's February report), frequently involving graphic psychosexual humiliation, against untold numbers (certainly much greater than what is being acknowledged) of Iraqi inmates at the Abu Ghraib prison?
It shouldn't be. The invasion and occupation of Iraq has been significantly enabled by America's largely unacknowledged racism, which currently finds its safest permissible targets in the Arab world. It's impossible to fully understand how the White House was able to claim that the bombing of innocent Afghans and the occupation of Iraq were reasonable responses to 9/11 without factoring-in racial antipathy. Anti-Arab racism makes it difficult for masses of Americans to grasp the elementary difference between a small group of predominantly Saudi terrorists and the people of Iraq or the rest of Arab society. We have merged the Middle East and other parts of southwest Asia (including largely Pashtun Afghanistan) into one big (inexplicably) America-hating terrorist blur, a demonized "them" that is simultaneously seen as inferior/subhuman and supremely threatening (kind of like many Germans saw Jews in the 1930s and 1940s). U.S. military authorities have more than encouraged that blurring in the minds of their troops, many of whom think that they have been killing, maiming, imprisoning and torturing Iraqis as revenge for September 11, 2001.
Of course, the U.S. has a long and bloody record of racist atrocity and occupation both within and beyond the "homeland" (what a lovely and revealing term), a topic I have written about at length for ZNet and Black Commentator ("Those Who Deny The Crimes of the Past: U.S. Racist Atrocity Denial, 1776-2004," available online at www.blackcommentator.com/82/82_think_street.html). We remain in deep and dangerous (both for others and ourselves) denial about this terrible history, as was evident when our supposed "anti-war" and "opposition" candidate presidential John Kerry recently saw fit (on NBC's "Meet Tim Russert," I mean "Meet the Press") to deny his own semi-courageous 1971 words on U.S. crimes in Vietnam. Those who deny the racist war and occupation crimes of the past are certain to repeat them, as long as they retain the power to do so.
I find the psychosexual abuse of Iraqi prisoners by American military personnel entirely un-surprising for at least two reasons. First, the military intelligence authorities knew very well that Arab culture contains severe strictures against the homosexual activity they directed Abu Ghraib's new correctional officers to make Iraqi prisoners simulate in front of American cameras and female soldiers. As Middle East professor Bernard Haykel told Seymour Hersh, "such dehumanization is unacceptable in any culture, but it is especially so in the Arab world. Homosexual acts are against Islamic law and it is humiliating for men [even] to be naked in front of one another" (Hersh, "Torture At Abu Grhaib," The New Yorker, May 10, 2004). Given these and related male-supremacist strictures in Muslim doctrine and culture (and here it not the place to debate the merits of all that), the "intelligence" officers were consciously imposing the fear of something akin to psychological death on their captives in order to "soften them up" for further interrogation directed, of course, at Iraqis' determination to resist American takeover of their "homeland."
During the invasion, it is worth recalling, U.S. military intelligence used megaphones to question the sexual proclivities of Arab men, hoping that the hyper-masculinity of Arab culture would flush out angry Iraqis ready to be butchered on some of the same roadsides where American GIs are currently losing lives and limbs.
Second, both racist policing and psychosexual humiliation are widely disseminated and normatively accepted staples of America's corporate-crafted "popular" entertainment culture, including many among the recent crop of revolting "reality shows." Just how many hours of fascist productions like "COPS," "Jenny Jones," and "Jerry Springer" (to name just a small share of the relevant references) does it take before your average future GI's moral core is poisoned beyond repair? Throw the products of this revolting culture (which ironically fuels the fires of Bush's Fundamentalist right) into the hell of Rumsfeld's Iraq and it becomes just another order for the U.S. prison grunts to follow when the intelligence big-shots tell them to strip those Arab prisoners down and make them form a naked human pyramid.
America is a sick society, one that has no business telling anyone how to attain and practice modernity, democracy, and freedom. The repair of broken societies — and the failed states that spawn and reflect those societies — begins, like charity and empire, at home. Do I need to add that the US is the world's leading incarceration state (two million prisoners and counting, nearly half of them African-American) and that sexual abuse (including endemic rape) is rampant behind the walls and bars of "Prison Nation's" savagely racist and totalitarian "correctional" facilities?
It's almost overkill to point out that televisions blaring the America's toxic mass culture into the minds of a rather captive audience are ubiquitous throughout America's mammoth prison-industrial complex. TV, it turns out, is wonderfully matched to the "correctional" authorities' interrelated drives to (a) keep inmates passive and inert and (b) keep costs down – a topic that I address in greater detail in a recent posting (titled "Prison Nation/TV Nation") on my new ZNet blog "Empire and Inequality" (which you can view off this top page!). According to Wall Street Journal writer Joseph T. Halinan's book Going Up the River: Travels in a Prison Nation (NY: Random House, 2001), "the bottom line drives nearly all decisions behind bars in this country, from the food the inmates eat to the type of work they do. Cost, in fact, is the reason wardens argue so adamantly for television behind bars: not because TV rehabilitates, but because, as one superintendent told me, television acts like 'electronic Thorazine.' It keeps the inmates tranquil, and a tranquil inmate is a cheap inmate. And so at [Kansas prison warden Jim] Zeller's prison inmates get their choice of three dozen TV stations" (Hallinan, p.11).
Television helps America run its prisons on the cheap, reflecting neo-liberal cost-cutting imperatives that seem to explain much of what has gone wrong with US policy in Abu Grhaib and in Iraq as a whole.
The people of Iraq should hope that the occupation ends before Uncle Sam has to draft some of its many millions of prisoners and ex-prisoners into imperial service, encouraging them to carry into practice some of what they've learned from their guards both human and electronic.

The invisible Dark Matter and Energy that makes up over 90% of our universe according to scientists has long been explored by magicians and mystics, even if they have not understood it. While Eastern magical and mystical systems have known about Dark Matter and Energy, it is only recently that Western magicians have begun to catch up.
The Western Magical tradition is based around the Tree of Life, a medieval propaganda invention to convert Jews to Christianity that continues to persist. Unfortunately the Tree of Life is badly equipped to allow any understanding or comprehension beyond the very narrow limits it describes.
The two leading lights for discussion of Universe B are Michael Bertiaux and Kenneth Grant. Unfortunately, their writing styles are very difficult to understand, and it is very easy to be intimidated at best, or at worse terrified.
My recent article on the Great Old Ones being accessed using Power crystals demonstrates that there are other, much simpler methods of accessing Dark Matter and Energy.
The primary western technique for accessing Universe B (ours is Universe A) is via various points on the Tree of Life, particularly Daath. The limitations of the Tree can be circumvented. Frater Achad proposed entirely inverting the structure. Kenneth Grant sees the Tree as three dimensiona; the Paths become tunnels, so that there is a back to the Tree. He uses the Tunnels of Set, as he calls them to access other spiritual systems, such as Liber 231. As a result of writing The Tarot and the Magus, I was lead to the inevitable conclusion as to the invalidity of the Tree, and that there were other methods, systems and structures that expand the magical prowess of the magician, rather than limit it. Allied with my own powerful mystical experiences with my own teacher, Punditt Maharaj, I have been exploring these new (to the West) pathways. While I was working with Tim Rifat, who knew nothing of spiritual systems, Tim made great progress, but we parted the ways at a point before I was able to fully understand accessing Dark Matter and Energy. As a result, rvscience is stuck in a time-warp. This was brought home to me the other day when I came across him in hiding in what he thought was Universe B. He demonstrated that he could traverse from Universe B to Universe A, but actually there was no difference! So, if you want to find him, look in his version of Universe B. In the meantime, we shall explore the real Universe B, and how it connects to Universe A.
Careful reading of Kenneth Grant's books reveals the structure of Universe B. I found that there is a strong Egyptian flavour to Universe B that is entirely at odds to the Golden Dawn vision of the Egyptian Gods, since they are anachronistically connected to the Tree of Life. Reverting back to authentic models, the landscape of Universe B is populated with Egyptian architecture, and I was pleasantly surprised to find that Kenneth Grant agrees, using the Sekhet-Aarhu, which he associates with the Elysian fields. Sekhet relates to the Lioness, and sounds similar to Shakti. The topology of Amenta is also revealed. The Egyptian flavour of the Liber 231 is strong, but we are getting ahead of ourselves. A fascinating aspect of the visions of Universe B is the low lighting levels — there is no light source like the Sun, but there is illumination, something similar to dusk.
Kenneth Grant mentions three levels within Universe B:
Nuit describes the perpetual night of Universe B, illuminated by starry light, and occasionally by the moon. The Hills of Hathor include Egyptian temples. Below the Earth are the Tunnels of Set. These Tunnels are not accessed via the Tree, but by other methods, which I will describe. The tunnels are rarely straight; they twist and turn in all directions, often becoming incredibly narrow — you may have seen them in dreams, perhaps with a guide.
In a nutshell, the above adequately describes the landscape of Universe B. How Universe B is populated will depend on your own background and understanding. As you can see there is little to be frightened of! So why is there such fear and terror associated with Universe B? The answer lies in the method of accessing Universe B. If you use the methods described here you will have few worries. The same cannot be said for methods based upon Kabbalism and rvscience.
Kenneth Grant describes Universe B in terms of the Qlippoth, "abnormal, perverted lusts", extra-cosmic and extra-terrestrial for "demons, giants, elementals, dwarfs, monstrous, bestial". Hardly inspiring is it? Why would you want to go there? The reason for the terrifying imagery is Grant's use of the Tree of Life as the access point, and the Tree naturally distorts visions and perceptions of Universe B as "evil". For many years, my own experience of "evil" is of spiritual entities in the wrong place, just as a weed is a plant growing in the wrong place. Where focussing on "evil" takes place, the magician is disempowered, embittered, and becomes increasingly paranoid. My view is that there is no evil in Universe A or B, a view endorsed by, suprisingly, Michael Bertiaux, quoted in Grant's books:
Evil does not exist in Universe A, and in Universe B it does not exist. However, when there is a relationship between the two universes, there is the possibility of evil coming into the world, into Universe A. That is why the magicians who work along the lines of seeking contact with Universe B are sometimes in a situation where they convey the impression of being 'black magicians' or else of being 'dangerously evil' or 'perverse and unnatural'.
And where is the "normal" method of interfacing between the two Universes? Step forward the Tree of Life! Far from being a benign structure where danger exists off the Tree, the entire structure is in fact very dangerous for the unwary. It is a shame that the New Age movement has so enthusiastically embraced the Tree in pathworking.
With some thought, a simple method of dealing with Black Magicians presents itself — move them from that intermediate state between the Universes into one or other, using the Space-Time continuum. Of course, one must have mastery of both Universes to do this.
The greatest of the Guardians is your Holy Guardian Angel, but of course he is placed on Tiphareth, which completely emasculates the power of your HGA. In my book The Tarot and the Magus, the singular becomes plural, so that you have many Holy Guardian Angels associated with Liber 231 and the Atbash code, with no relationship to Tipareth. To have any success, you need to destroy the notion of any connection between your HGA and the Tree.
Gematria is a fruitful method for accessing Universe B. Grant cites 131, Baphomet, and Mako, son of Typhon. 71, the number of LAM, who is particularly powerful, but he needs to be separated from the Tree of Life to be properly understood. The sequence of numbers 111, 222, 333, etc is particularly powerful. 555 is considered by Grant to be the "Tunnel of Kteis leading to Universe B", ie the vagina, a method we shall come back to. Choronzon is another Guardian who is nowhere as fearful as many writers try to suggest. Bertiaux describes Choronzon as guarding 16 Doors and 11 Gates. The sum of 27 immediately suggests the Lunar Mansions as another method of accessing Universe B. Yuggoth, a Lovecraftian invention, represented by Nu-Isis according to Grant is another source. As well as the wonderful spirits of Liber 231, we have their cousins, the Sky Gods of the Goetia, whose number 72 is related to OB, the Serpent. Forget the Abramelin rituals!
The confusion around the occult significance of Universe B is probably nowhere better exhibited than on rvscience, where while writing about the benefits of Universe B, there are all the "anti" crystals against the Goetia and Tarot and other spirits. The proprietor wishes to destroy the inhabitants of the Universe B, except that he provides no method of getting there in the first place! Go figure.
Tarot represents the best and most powerful system for accessing and unifying the Universes, but to do this, the system has to be seen stripped of associations with the Tree of Life. Several years ago I found I had accumulated a pile of notes on the Tree which was over a foot high. Looking through the notes, I was shocked to realise that after nearly twenty years of study, I had made no progress — the Tree is an evolutionary dead-end. I have been looking for alternative methods of looking at the structure of the Tarot, using the Opening of the Key spread as the primary research tool. While researching The Tarot and the Magus I discovered the unaspected cards in the counting strings. These cards provide access from other universes, in particular Universe B. However, there are some cards that have special powers and connections to Universe B — these are the Mother Letters, the Fool, Hanged Man and Aeon, and The Star, Adjustment and the Moon. The Princess of Disks is particularly powerful. It was by card counting that the spirits of Liber 231 came to me freely, as they have done to others who use this system of Tarot, and when they do, their cousins the Goetia are also anxious to make contact.
Apart from the Tarot and Opening of the Key, sex magick is a powerful method of accessing Universe B. As mentioned previously, Woman is the gateway to Universe B via the vagina. In one sense, sexual union is also the union of Universe A with Universe B. Tucked away in Kenneth Grant's writings is the key to sex magick that you can use here.
Prepare the sigil, or use the appropriate crystal. You then project awareness, penetrating and permeating sigil in the crystal. One way is to assume the form of the spirit or guardian, or the sigil. 'Vibrate' the name of the spirit into the woman, or astral form of the woman, until the woman assumes the form of the spirit. A Door of Power will then form in Sekhet-Aarhu which you can enter.
Kenneth Grant lists a number of western authors who have written on Universe B:
I have not studied the writings of a number of these authors, so if you have any insights, I would be grateful for any pointers. I would add William Blake to the list. Castaneda's Nagual is completely misunderstood on rvscience.
The ultimate is not to have the dichotomy of either Universe A or Universe B. In reality there is no sharp dividing line. We can easily live in both worlds, enjoying the benefits of both. The Dark Matter and Dark Energy were part of the early stages of the Big Bang, so to incorporate them is to know our Roots. Fear is engendered by separation and ignorance. The reality is that Universe A and Universe B have never been separate — it is only by our cultural and spiritual ignorance that we are in this mess. To live in Universe A and B together is to walk with giants in the landscape, to have spiritual powers easily at our disposal, to work with spiritual powers to benefit of us both. This spiritual ecology is available right now, through the use of crystals.

Reviewed by Darth Something Cool But Evil (Previously owned)
The G2 was/is a fantastic phone whichever way you looked at it. It had great premium construction, with brushed aluminum accents and matte gray soft-touch poly-like material. I woint go so far as to say it looked beautiful, but it was elegantly premium. and it looked like it meant business.
It's stand out feature was the slide-out keyboard... which to be totally fair i never ended up using. Not because it wasnt great, it was perhaps the best, slide-out keyboard period. The z-hinge felt flimsy, but was in fact very sturdy as time went on, it certainly proved it's worth.
The phone ran stock froyo on release and as such was extremely fast and responsive, even compared to higher end products with faster cpu's than it's 800mhz rumbler. When it was updated to stock gingerbread many months later, the performance was still fast... though not quite as fast as before, but the standby battery time jumped almost 2 fold. Where i was charging my battery every 24-28 hours, i was now charging every 36-48 hours. To be fair my use can be classified as moderate and not heavy. But The most noticeable difference was the standby discharge, which was now negligible even with wifi on.
It had a pretty decent 3.7 inch screen, if not as spectacular as the amoleds, but it had very accurate color reproduction and high levels of brightness. and a very useful optical trackpad for navigation, with a built in notification light that pulsed with new notifications, an example of the attention to the little things.
I was disappointed that it didnt have a front facing camera though... that would have been a nice (if relatively unused) feature that was becoming standard in most new phones of the time.

Tweetbag - Gophers v. Gators Recap
Frustrating loss for the Gophers against a beatable Gators squad. Unfortunately, Billy Donovan exposed Tubby's strategery and forced the Gophers into countless TOs. I mean, the Gophers struggled to execute an inbounds play from half court. The side inbounds is one of the hardest plays in basketball to defend and yet the Gators managed to stop the Gophers not once, but twice.

Professor Ruben Pelayo's Video Project
Video I –narrated in Spanish with English subtitles-- is a succinct biography of Gabriel García Márquez intended to celebrate his unparalleled fame in all modern languages. The video stresses his identity, his journalist skill as chronicler, as a writer, and his often mistaken year of birth. The video conveys the idea of a writer who can also be seen as a husband, father, friend, and as a private man. Winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1982, he is, undoubtedly, the most popular writer of the 20th Century in the Spanish Language.
Video II –narrated in Spanish with English subtitles-- is an insightful look at García Márquez's masterpiece One Hundred Years of Solitude. The video takes the viewer through the first short stories and novels that led to the making of this opus magnum with commentaries by world-wide known authors, and analogies with Sophocles, Kafka, and Faulkner. Intended for a world audience, this video presentation brings forward a broader school of Spanish criticism and a perceptive analysis of thematic issues often reduced in Anglo-speaking settings. The novel, according to Pelayo, is many present-day societies in the abstract.
