Eight Pitfalls in Evaluating Green Energy Solutions
Some citizens who are concerned about the long-term viability of the electric grid will no doubt want to purchase their own solar systems with inverters and back-up batteries. I won't discourage those who want to do this–the systems may prove to be of assistance. But I see no reason to subsidize these purchases.[read more]
Beating Battery Drain
Stream video on your smartphone, or use its GPS for an hour or two, and you'll probably end up seeing the battery drain significantly. As data rates climb and smartphones adopt more power-hungry features, battery life has become a large and growing concern.[read more]

New York City's History-Making Recycling Law Turns 25 Years Old, Part III
In December 2013, the Sanitation Department was collecting recyclables from New York City residences and institutions at a rate of just over 16%; and it is just about the same today. In view of the ambitious intentions of the city's landmark recycling statute this is discouraging. But it doesn't tell the whole story.[read more]
New York City's History-Making Recycling Law Turns 25 Years Old, Part II
Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who took office in 2002, compiled an impressive track record in addressing environmental health and sustainability issues in New York City. But he didn't start off as a big fan of recycling or of Local Law 19 of 1989, the City's recycling Magna Carta.[read more]
Running on Waste Heat
It's estimated that more than half of U.S. energy — from vehicles and heavy equipment, for instance — is wasted as heat. Mostly, this waste heat simply escapes into the air. But that's beginning to change, thanks to thermoelectric innovators such as MIT's Gang Chen.[read more]
New York City's History-Making Recycling Law Turns 25 Years Old

It's Not About Where Your Solar Panels Came From, It's Where They Are Going That Counts
One of the most infuriating things about reading advice for people wanting to reduce their carbon footprint is the colossal lack of perspective people some folk have when it comes to cutting emissions. You see, perspective is quite important if you want to make sensible decisions.[read more]
The World's Largest Garbage Dump is Not on Land
Between using plastic bags, drinking from plastic water bottles, or ripping the plastic packaging from a new gadget, we all use plastic in our daily lives. Plastic is literally all around us, and if we don't find a way to contain it, our lives could soon be taken over by this mass produced product.[read more]
Renewable Wood Fuels, Part 2: Environmentally Beneficial or a Chronic Problem?
Wood is considered either a renewable fuel with environmental benefits or a source of particular material emissions that can impact health. If properly managed can the smoke from wood be reduced to levels that mitigate current-future health issues, and benefit the environment like other renewable fuels?[read more]
On Earth Day, Did Greenwashing Finally Die?

Chuck recently moved to Portland, Oregon from Gainesville, Florida, where he was a staple of the music teaching and performing community for more than 25 years. Originally from Chicago, Chuck completed his BA in Music History and Masters of Music (MM) at the University of Florida. Chuck became obsessed with The Beatles when he began piano lessons at age 12. His first attempt at composing was actually improvising melodies over the ending chords to "Hey Jude". Along with playing Beatles tunes Chuck learned classic standards from a set of Reader's Digest Songbooks inherited from his grandmother.
Chuck has performed with classic rock, top 40, funk, R&B, and jazz groups, and has served as an opening act for Bela Fleck and the Flecktones, and legendary Texas ...

Every student is different. I have experience with teaching toddlers to retirees and believe that the best way to reach a student and have them become proficient in their skill is to build a relationship with them, make them comfortable and find out how best they learn. I structure my instruction to meet you where you are at while challenging you and encouraging you. I believe a person can truly learn anything once it is explained in a way they understand and the process is made fun. I believe firmly in articulating to my students the method behind the subject, so they can understand its form and then begin to see it's pattern. I have experience with various subjects and enjoy them all. Let's find a way to reach your goals together!

How will Egypt president deal with world's superpower?
As Egypt prepares to swear in its fourth leader since 2011, a huge slice of $1.5 billion in US aid remains in deep-freeze amid fears the nation is sliding back into authoritarianism.
Former general Abdel Fattah al-Sisi will be crowned as the next president on Sunday after three years of political turmoil since the ousting of long-time iron-fisted leader Hosni Mubarak.
But far from welcoming Sisi as a step toward stability, some analysts are urging Washington to re-think its decades-old, military-based aid program amid concerns over human rights abuses and a crackdown on civil liberties.
In a sign of Washington's unease, no senior US cabinet members will be attending the inauguration, with State Department Counselor Thomas Shannon asked to lead the delegation.
US officials announced in April they planned to resume some military aid to Cairo, suspended late last year, including 10 Apache helicopters for counterterrorism efforts in the Sinai Peninsula.
But the aircraft remain in storage in the US, and a request to release some $650 million of the frozen aid has been put on hold in Congress by Democratic Senator Patrick Leahy, chairman of an appropriations subcommittee.
Leahy said he was "extremely disturbed" by Egypt's "flouting of human rights" and would not sign off on delivering the aid "until we have a better understanding of how the aid would be used."
But there are also no current plans to unblock the rest of the suspended 2014 funding, which includes some military hardware such as Harpoon missiles and parts for Abram tanks.
Under legislation penned by Leahy, Kerry has to certify Egypt is on the path to democracy before all the aid can be released.
"There's no timeline for when we have to make additional decisions about the assistance we haven't yet certified for Egypt," State Department deputy spokeswoman Marie Harf said, stressing there was "more work to do" and the administration was not "satisfied" about the pace of democratic progress.
While the US was ready to work with Egypt on badly-needed economic reforms, Harf was also non-committal on whether Washington would join a donors' conference proposed this week by Saudi Arabia.
The Gulf kingdom, together with the United Arab Emirates, has vowed to pump some $10 billion into the Egyptian economy.
Expert Michele Dunne argued the US should now "refocus its diplomacy on supporting the Egyptian people, while limiting relations with Sisi and his government to essential security interests."
The bulk of US aid should be transferred to a couple of major programs providing direct assistance to the Egyptian people instead of supporting contracts for US-made weapons for the already heavily-equipped army.
"A focus solely on cooperating with the state no longer makes sense in an era when the lifespan of Egyptian governments, at least the last three, has been measured more in months than in decades," said the expert with the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.
Using aid to try to force democratic reforms would also have little effect, with most Egyptians now deeply distrustful of America thanks to its muddled policies which have swung between support for Mubarak to tepid backing for Morsi and confusion over his ouster.
US moves to try to force a reconciliation the new leaders to reconcile with Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood will be seen "as us asking them to commit suicide," Eric Trager told a conference hosted by the Washington Institute for Near East Policy.
A high-level Egyptian official defended his government against charges of pervasive abuses as well as suspicions over the polling.
The official, who asked not to be named, denounced what he called "this freaking out in the Western media" about the low turnout when the elections were extended unexpectedly for a third day.
"If anybody has this illusion of having superiority of teaching us which way we should go according to their own criteria, they are totally mistaken," he told a handful of reporters, speaking in English.
"We will do what we think is right, what the Egyptian people think is right," he said angrily.

Wearable Computers - Ready for Action!
Recent developments suggest that wearable computing may finally be gaining traction. Intel evangelist Manny Vara believes that comfortable and convenient wearable computers may be just two to five years away.
originally posted to the Trends & Foresight blog
Recent developments suggest that wearable computing may finally be gaining traction. Intel evangelist Manny Vara believes that comfortable and convenient wearable computers may be just two to five years away.
Entertainment, sports, and fitness uses will drive the consumer market.
From the Pebble Watch to the Jawbone UP, interest in wearables have so far been largely driven by consumer interest in sports and fitness. Smart shoes, watches, wristbands, and other devices with integrated sensors and communication devices provide users with unprecedented levels of transparency into their personal lives. Driven by the desire to enhance their performance, consumers will continue to be drawn to different types of wearables.
There will be numerous Healthcare applications for wearables.
From the GlucoTrack non-invasive glucose monitor for diabetes patients to Avery Dennison's Metria sensor that monitors heart rate and respiration, there will be many new devices that will appeal to healthcare professionals and consumers for home use. See our report on Digital Health Monitoring for more information on emerging health technologies.
And let's not forget heads up displays
From Google's Project Glass which has spurred tremendous popular interest in the field to Innovega's iOptik multifocal contact lenses, heads-up augmented reality display systems will be created for a variety of markets (consumer, military, industrial, etc).
Combining video recording devices and displays, these devices will be equipped to take advantage of facial and object recognition and give consumers many new capabilities and less obtrusive ways to gather and process information.
With so many new types of wearable devices, businesses will have to understand and anticipate lots of implications for their industries. Here are just a couple of examples:
1. Consumers will become even MORE empowered.
The "always-on" smartphone has totally changed the way many consumers shop, from gathering information in-aisles about products to the practice of showrooming (examining merch in-store but buying later online). And while consumers have access to some augmented reality apps through their smartphones, wearable devices will provide this information seamlessly, and without others being aware this is taking place.
With wearable heads-up displays, people will have a new way to see their surroundings, and gain new forms of decision support - without even asking for it. We are moving from a world where information and connections are hidden... to a world where consumers gain real-time, contextual awareness of their surroundings. Check out ConAgra's vision of grocery shopping in such a world in this video.
ConAgra shows off a grocery shopping concept
2. Consumers will demand something in return for their "big data"
Wearable computers will make people creators of "big data" as systems continually log information about the wearer and the environment.
There will be numerous opportunities to design software and data ecosystems to manage and mine the volumes of data that will be generated by always-on, sensor and camera-equipped wearable computing devices. All of this life-logging data will also be very useful to marketers seeking to target and personalize offerings for individual consumers.
Currently, most consumers have low awareness of how their data is being used. But as awareness rises (as it seems certain to), millions of consumers who now share their data with no strings attached will start to demand in-kind rewards—or else reduce their willingness to share. Companies should start actively positioning themselves now for a world in which consumers expect rewards for sharing personal data.

Djrum "Anchors (Instrumental)"
- Words: Tim Gentles
Djrum is the alias of the difficult to pin down DJ/producer Felix Manuel, who draws his sound from influences as diverse as DJ Shadow, jungle, and minimal techno. Today, we're offering an exclusive free download of the instrumental version of his track "Anchors," which in its original incarnation features sultry vocals from NYC artist ShadowBox. Thankfully, the song is equally as powerful when stripped down to its dusty, slow-burning instrumental elements. Djrum's debut album Seven Lies is out via 2nd Drop as of this week.

Please, no more deaths on Black Friday
It's less than two weeks until Black Friday — the time of year when everyone becomes thrifty for a day or a weekend. This year, I made the leap into seasonal retail in an effort to make a little extra cash.

Simply put, those corporations have made their decisions and it is now up to you to decide if a deal or a family dinner is more...

Arcadia fire suspicious
A fire that destroyed two caravans at Arcadia early yesterday morning is being treated as suspicious.SOPHIE MALCOLM January 4, 2013 4:01am
Police are treating as suspicious a fire that destroyed two caravans in an early morning blaze at Arcadia yesterday.
Twelve firefighters quickly contained the fire, which broke out at a private property on Arcadia Two Chain Rd near Zocks Rd just after 5.30
Country Fire Authority Arcadia brigade captain Ray McManus said three crews attended the incident and arrived to find the caravans destroyed.
''By the time we got to it, it was already burnt out,'' Mr McManus said.
He said while the cause of the fire was unknown, he believed it started inside one of the caravans and spread to surrounding grassland.
Mr McManus said crews then worked to control the grassfire, which burnt about 0.1
He said nobody was in the caravans at the time of the fire.
Mitchell Crime Investigation Unit Detective Ash Mason said police were investigating the fire.
Det Mason said detectives were at the scene yesterday afternoon, but the cause was still unknown.
He estimated the value of the damage to be about $10,
