Wind energy is the primary, ready to install renewable energy resource today. It's cheap, extremely quick to deploy, easy to integrate into an electric grid, and there's plenty of it to go around. The levelized cost of electricity from wind power is about the same or cheaper than that from coal, the current fuel source of choice for much of the world's electricity generation. Continue reading

Reuters describes an oil oversupply in a recent article. But shouldn't we call this price volatility instead? After all, it was just 2007 when oil was regularly cheaper than the currently "low" prices of around $60 to $70 per barrel. Continue reading

The main point of this book is that we can still escape from the fossil fuel trap, and we can even prosper while we do it. But the details are kind of important..! Now, since this whole topic is somewhat dry, and talk of climate change can get to be very depressing very easily, I wanted to shatter the mold, and put the issue into a new context. And that's what I did. And, the result of the investigative process shocked even myself. Continue reading

The feverishly followed games of the World Cup are thrilling soccer (or football) fans around the world. And although the games have an enthusiastic international following, the World Cup, and its organizing body, FIFA, are hardly without controversy. Even in soccer-loving Brazil, a number of protests have been sparked by the tournament, in large part drawing attention to the astronomical amount of energy and capital devoted to infrastructure to the World Cup, while many social programs remain underfunded.

We are responsible for fighting climate change, not because of our paltry individual carbon emissions, but because we are alive during an unprecedented moment. The greatest catastrophe in history is unfolding on our watch. We can either be bystanders and passive victims, letting climate change happen to us and watching as it horrifically reveals itself, or we can be active agents in fighting for what we hold dear. We can use our skills, talents, relationships, and resources to fight climate change with everything that we possess. Continue reading

"works great"
The free version was so helpful I splurged and went Pro now its mine for life not a subscription . The flash scan is really fast . well worth the cost
the only one I can think of is in the pro version because of its real time protection was the pop up bubble telling you it just block something but its possible to disable this feature
Either the free or paid version this is the one thing that should be on everyone's PC . It works really well with MS Essentials

CEB's Day To "Get Out And Give Back" Results In 10,000 Hours Of Service Globally
ARLINGTON, Va., May 24, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Corporate Executive Board (CEB) (NYSE: EXBD), a leading research and advisory services company, held its second-annual Global Service Day to allow employees to "Get Out and Give Back." In 14 cities, from Chicago to London to Singapore to its headquarters in Washington, DC, CEB closed its doors for the day so that more than 1,800 employees could actively partner with organizations selected for their ability to directly impact local communities.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120524/PH13735)
In one day, CEB staff tackled a range of projects for 20 service organizations to benefit migrant women, underprivileged students, historic sites and disabled children. The dedicated day of service brought the company's Spirit of Generosity – a CEB core value—to life in the communities where the company's employees live and work. CEB volunteers constructed an outdoor classroom, refurbished historic gardens, coached at-risk youth and conducted financial education training for women in need.CEB's Global Service Day represents one important component of the company's philanthropic efforts. For more than 25 years, CEB and its staff have dedicated significant financial and in-kind resources to a broad set of charitable organizations – promoting innovation and community building and enabling entrepreneurship in the public sector. "We are proud to continue our Global Service Day tradition, which provides a unique opportunity for our staff to bring CEB's Spirit of Generosity to life while expanding the company's global philanthropic reach," said Tom Monahan, CEB Chairman and CEO. "Through our work across four continents, seven countries and with more than 10,000 hours of service, Global Service Day allows us to bring positive social change and to enrich communities where our employees and business partners live and work." Building on the momentum and significant impact CEB made with its inaugural Global Service Day in 2011, the company partnered with the several non-profit organizations, including:
- Aidha is a social enterprise dedicated to enriching the lives of migrant women through financial education. ( Singapore, Singapore)
- City Year unites young people to keep students in school and on track to graduation. ( Chicago, Ill., London, UK, San Francisco, Calif. and Washington, DC)

I've switched my body to a different type of fuel.
For many years, I understood that our bodies prefer glucose from carbohydrates. When we eat carbohydrates, they all break down into glucose. Whole wheat or white, it becomes glucose. If you eat a teaspoon of sugar, it breaks down into glucose. Our brains love glucose.
I was so scared of the low carb diets because I was told that it deprives your body of glucose, and shuts down. Well, this is only partially true. It does indeed deprive your body of glucose. But here's what I didn't know. Your liver is capable of producing all the glucose you need. In the absence of glucose from carbohydrates, fat and protein can be converted to glucose. This glucose is then used by our brain and other organs.
So in the absence of glucose, what do we use for fuel? Ketones. Ketones are the by-product of when your liver and kidney converts stored body fat. Your brain and all other organs will run on ketones, when there is no glucose. Your body CAN use either. If we couldn't, there would be NO point in the body storing fat for energy during fast and famine. The minute glucose was unavailable, we'd drop dead like a car out of gas.
Since I carry more bodyfat than I should, what I have done is simply rearranged my food so I switch from running primarily on glucose, to mostly running on ketones.
I am not doing an Atkins style low carb, where the goal is to get your body running 100% on ketones. I'm not sure what my fuel mix is, but I've structured it so I get a small amount of glucose, then let my body dip into ketones to make up the difference for my energy needs.
We've often heard about how low carb forces the body to go into starvation mode.
This is true.
Wait, wait. Stay with me! Yes, it is true. The body burns ketones when it is starving. However, IF you eat the right amount of protein and fat, your body will burn ketones, but it will NOT consume your muscle tissue. It will use the incoming protein instead. I trick my body into burning stored fat like it was famine, but there is plenty of incoming calories. I am not nutritionally starved.
The body requires amino acids from protein in order to function. If you were to suddenly stop eating, your body would create ketones, AND consume your lean muscle tissue for the amino acids. It will eat itself.
If you stop eating carbohydrates so there's no incoming glucose, BUT eat a good amount of protein and fat (fat is required!!), then your body will produce ketones, and break down the incoming protein for the amino acids. It will leave your muscles alone. In some cases, it will take the extra protein and actually add to your muscle mass!
This is how Eskimos, Mongolians, and Masai people can eat diets of 80% protein and fat.
What this means is, instead of running on sugar, I am running on fat. If you want to be a fat burner, you have to eat fat. But here's the big caveat. You can only eat mostly fat in the absence of carbohydrates! If a carb load raises your insulin, then all that incoming fat will get turned into cholesterol, triglycerides and body fat, instead of fuel.
The experts were right in that sense. Fat can indeed raise cholesterol and triglycerides, but they fail to mention that only happens in the presence of a LARGE amount of carbohydrates.
Burger, bun and french fries, anyone?
It was a REALLY big leap for me to feel comfortable eating as much fat as I have. I kept thinking about the "Omnivore's Dilemma". The part in the book where Michael Pollan discusses his hesitation and fear about eating a chanterelle mushroom he harvested. Plants have evolved many defense mechanisms to prevent being eaten by other things. Humans and rats have evolved to observe and remember whether certain foods and smell make us ill. We also observe others of our species consuming things to see if they keel over and die. Every once in a while, one of our brave will attempt to taste something, to see if it is a new tasty morsel.
It's this defense mechanism that made it really hard for me to take the leap and feel comfortable eating full fat cottage cheese, butter, and a meat portion with every meal. It's silly, but for many days, I felt guilt with the pat of butter on my broccoli. "I shouldn't be eating this," I'd think. I'd wait for like an hour after a meal, wondering if my heart would explode. Totally irrational.
Even still, I always thought it odd how we avoided fatty foods. Unprocessed foods suddenly became processed foods. Skim milk. No fat cottage cheese. Reduced fat cheese. Margarine instead of butter. Egg whites without the yolk.
So after a month trial on myself, I am running on fat. I eat vegetables and fruit for carbohydrates. No grain or starches. I increased my protein and fat to supposed "unsafe" levels. I still eat high quality protein and fat, though. Common sense. Chicken, pork, salmon, tuna, crab, shrimp, beef, eggs, etc. Not hot dogs or chicken nuggets.
If they were right, I should be getting worse, not better, right?
In one month, I have dropped my bodyfat from 38% to 32%. Something I have been unable to do for 2 years on the traditional diet.
My resting heart rate has dropped from 76bpm to 60bpm.
Here's the scoop on my exercise performance. Despite the warnings that eating fewer carbs would destroy exercise performance, I have actually got better. At least for the type of exercise I do. Take a look at my photo gallery. I am a long distance, endurance performer. I do activities that take more than one hour, or all day. Snorkeling, diving, hiking, biking, kayaking, sailing, etc, etc. Switching to fat burner has made my endurance activities EASIER.
Maybe because my heart is working more efficiently? Maybe because I have stored fat available, my body has plenty of sustained energy available? When running primarily on glucose, when I run out, I crash. We went snorkeling recently, and despite some pretty choppy waters, I never got tired or ran out of steam like I had in the past. I felt like I could go forever.
I get the same on my daily elliptical exercise. For steady state, I can sustain my rate continuously in a way that I never did before. I used to have to sustain for a little while, then slow down to recover, then start up again. Now, I can maintain continuous the entire 30 minutes (or longer). It's wonderful.
On the other hand, I have read that those who use primarily ketones for fuel do have decreased sprinting performance. Sprinters do better with glucose. Just how the body work. Glucose gives fast bursts. Ketones sustain.
I feel like I'm running on diesel.
So going back to the "Omnivore's Dilemma". I've eaten the mushroom, and I got a positive response. This encourages me to stick with it. It is true I don't know what the long term risks are. I'm hoping my high vegetable/fruit consumption will offset any potential increased cancer risks. However, I feel I am getting the right feedback to reduce my diabetes and cardiac risks.
Less ranting in this post, promise. Sorry about the doom and gloom in the last one, I'm just...yeah. Let's just leave it at that.
This morning, I am FINALLY below the 130 threshold! 129.7. I took some pictures to compare with my "before" state. Most of my change is in my belly flattening! I've got more of a "cinch" in the middle for the start of an hourglass!
So now that I feel confident that things are going the way that I want, and there's less mystery, I feel like I can actually make plans and goals again. In the back of my mind, I was always afraid I would never finish losing the weight. I would always be "FitFat".
Things are just fitting together. I can beat this!
So when I reach my goal weight of 120, I'm going to buy myself a wetsuit. I really need one, with my diving, kayaking and snorkeling. Getting stung by jellyfish while snorkeling is not fun. I need it. But I've been putting it off because I don't want to be the fat girl in a wet suit.
Oh, also need to get that wedding dress! ;)
Wow. My change in diet had some really unexpected twists.
I thought I finally figured out what was causing my weight loss issues. The whole thing about metabolic response that I've been blogging about for weeks. But it uncovered some health issues that I didn't even know were related.
I suddenly became sick last Thursday. I woke up and I had the feeling of cold/flu symptoms. I called in sick to work Thursday/Friday because I couldn't think straight.
Then I developed some thrush symptoms. A white coating on my tongue. Weird. (For the record, I am not immuno-compromised.)
I started doing some research and found something called "Atkins flu" or "low carb die-off". Apparently, a number of us are overrun with candida, and we don't even know it. High carb/high sugar diets feed candida. Overuse of antibiotics kills off natural flora that allows candida to overrun our immune systems. Many people will have unexplained illnesses like IBS. Recurrent yeast infections, obviously. Some have sugar cravings and can't lose weight. Some, like myself, don't really have any symptoms, except strange chronic symptoms like ear infections, that no one would possibly ever connect with a systemic fungal infection.
Sparker WHIPPEACHZ left a comment on one of my blogs about candida albicans. I had already found the info on the "die-off" at that point, but I dug around a bit more, and this confirmed my suspicion. Apparently what happens, when you stop feeding the fungus with sugar of any kind, they kind of go into death throes. When they die, they leave toxins (that won't kill you), but need to be eliminated by the body, making you feel miserable. They may also suddenly appear in places, attempting to find some place to survive, on the skin, or in my case, in my sinuses and my throat. This does not happen in everyone. Only people who have a large imbalance.
Apparently I am a "lucky" one.
I eliminated my grain/starch consumption drastically, which forced it out more quickly. If I had tapered back slowly, I might have had milder symptoms, and never been aware of what it was.
So now I don't think I had a cold/flu at all, but the death throes of these out of control fungus. They live on all of us. If our natural flora is working balanced, then they don't get out of hand. They are only a problem when they go out of control.
In my case, it was feeding the beast with my high carb/high sugar diet. I mentioned the use of antibiotics to handle frequent ear infections, which obviously leads to a vicious cycle. I'm hoping my dietary changes will eliminate both problems, permanently.
Obviously, this is a lifestyle change. If I go back to a high carb/high sugar diet, then I will encourage this imbalance. I had no intention of going back anyway, but this is certainly extra incentive.
Now I know what it is, I have done lots of research in how to treat it.
1. Continue to starve it of sugar - no starches/grains. I'm already doing this.
2. Gargle with apple cider vinegar. This raises the pH in my mouth - they do not like alkaline environments. Just gargling with it this morning almost immediately cleared up my sinuses. Unexpected, but welcome!
3. Cook with coconut oil. Coconut oil is a natural antifungal. This was not easy to find, but I found some at a high end organic grocery.
4. Lemon juice. Lemons are a natural antimicrobial for a lot of things.
5. Homemade yogurt. I am SO glad I learned how to make yogurt recently! I'm trying to find recipes for coconut yogurt, so I can clear up my issues (and not inflame existing) sooner.
I'm glad I already eliminated sugary drinks and candy bars a long time ago, or this infection (and cure) might be a lot worse. I think my high grain/starch diet was continuing to feed it. This may indeed be a contributor why I lost 30lbs, but my weight loss stalled.
My focus is on clearing this up. Time will tell whether I restore balance enough so that I can enjoy things like pasta occasionally. I think I am not so bad off since I have had years head start to clean up my diet. In my mind, this is clearly a medical issue, now. I cannot go back to eating a starch with every meal.
50 grams of potatoes converts in the body into the equivalent of 1/4 cup sugar. Would you serve a quarter cup sugar 3 times a day with your meals?
I'm trying not to be infuriated. I did this for years, because this was supposed to be the most healthy way to eat, and have good health.
Many Sparkers are skeptical bunches. Many are quick to jump on message board posts about weird fad diets, detoxes and cleanses as snake oil scams.
How many of these skeptics have the same skepticism for the government dietary advice? Why is 60-25-15 for carbs/fat/protein the accepted "right" way?
Do you know how pig farmers fatten hogs? They use a feed formula of 61% carbohydrates, 25% fat, and 14% protein.
This is almost identical to the USDA food pyramid.
How is this supposed to keep people slim and healthy, but adds fat to pigs for profit?
The new USDA "Food Plate" isn't much better.
I say replace that grain portion with more veggies.
Many skeptics will say this sounds like holistic, new-agey, mumbo jumbo. If I hadn't gone through this experience, I might have agreed. Heck, I did agree at one time.
What I am going through is real. I say the USDA feed lot pyramid is the junk science.
I know I keep writing about the same topic, and I probably sound like a broken record. I can't tell you what a relief it is to finally feel like I'm the one in charge, and not some mysterious, unknown and whimsical thing.
Since I've altered my carbohydrate composition, things don't quite work in terms of the calories in/out equation for the most part. My weight doesn't drop necessarily in terms of if I eat 500 calories less per day, then I lose 2 pounds per week. There is a steady drop, but it isn't necessarily in terms of pure calorie deficits. It would be impossible to tell unless I knew what my insulin load was at any given time.
While I've been sick with a cold, I haven't worried about losing weight, obviously. It's more important that my body gets the calories it needs, builds armies of white blood cells, and kicks invaders out of my body. So I've been pampering it with good, nutritious food. I have kept my carb grams and composition the same, though. I've kept my carbs at around 70-80g made up of high volumes of veggies and fruits. No starchy carbs. High quality lean meats and nutrient packed fats like nuts. Lots of homemade veggie soups (no noodles).
The net effect is, I'm getting better rapidly. While I'm a little sniffly, I'm feeling well enough to go for a walk in the sun today. I think the vitamin D would do me good. My weight has stayed completely stable. I'm at the same place where I started before I got sick. The wonderful thing about keeping my blood sugar stable is my weight is very stable. No more wild swings in weight or mood, for unknown reasons.
And as mentioned yesterday, for probably the first time ever, I got through a cold without a corresponding ear infection. I thought surgery was the only way I was going to get relief. As a chronic sufferer, I can't tell you what a relief this is, to go through a simple cold without using a lot of decongestants and fearing the tickle and pressure build up in my ear. Without having to get an antibiotic if it got out of control. I don't like to use antibiotics, but when I have an ear infection, I don't have a choice. The pain is insufferable, and the risk of loss of hearing is great. The antibiotics had the net effect of wrecking havoc on my body in other ways.
My running theory is with less blood sugar, there is less food for bacteria that cause my ear infections. Die, suckers, die!
While my dietary change is anecdotal (there's no way I could prove causation), if it at all had a part, it is already a contributor to improving my quality of life. I'm sticking with it.
At one time, I weighed 160. At my height of 5'0, that made me obese. I was able to lose 30 lbs, but I stabilized at 130. No matter what I did, I hovered near 130-135. A few times I dipped below 130, but I never stayed there for long.
Whenever I explained this problem, people treated it like it was my fault. "How much are you exercising?" "What are you eating?" The last question was valid, actually, but not in the way I expected. It was baffling. I dare make the claim that I had one of the cleanest food diaries on Spark. My only processed food was Kashi cereal. No fast food. Lots of veggies and fruit. Low fat/meat.
But there was something more. I was eating a lot of starches and grains. Afraid of the low-carb, I ate a serving of starch or grain with every meal because this is what I was told we are supposed to do. Cereal at breakfast. Bread at lunch. Rice, pasta or potatoes at dinner. All I had to do was watch my calories, they said.
For many people, this may not be a problem. They can lose weight happily all the way to goal, munching cereal, breads and pastas.
Is it genetics? In a sense, yes. Some of us, I have discovered, are more carb sensitive than others.
Lack of exercise was not my problem. Take a look at my photo gallery. I am an active person. I love activity. Getting me out of my chair to go biking, kayaking, snorkeling, swimming - almost anything - is not a problem.
FitGirl15 described this perfectly. I am "FitFat".
I have the internals of an athlete, and the physique of a couch potato.
I am the most active person out of my group of friends. Yet I stayed around 130-135lbs. Unambiguously "overweight". Some said it was just genetics. Some said that I was healthy, so why worry about a little extra fat? Some suggested going vegetarian. None suggested the maligned 'low carb'.
It is almost taboo to mention such a thing. Try anything, but don't stop eating bread. That's dangerous.
I cut back my sugar consumption back a long time ago. I stopped drinking 32-64oz of fully leaded Coke per day. I quit eating Snickers candy bars. I stopped buying boxes of Little Debbie snack cakes. All that played a part in losing 30 lbs. But years of this kind of abuse apparently took its toll. I am more insulin resistant than I realized. I thought insulin resistance was only important for diabetics.
The sad thing is, I believe I was already in a minor state of insulin resistance, but none of my doctors were going to do anything about it until I was on the verge of Type II. I don't blame them. It's not easy to spot on the radar.
Just the fact that I carry more bodyfat than I should means I have more insulin resistance than I should, however. Excess insulin floating around means my body will never dip into my fat stores, even though there is plenty of fat energy available. I am in a state of imbalance.
I am a libra. I cannot stand imbalance.
We need to stop treating every person's situation with the exact same hammer.
There is another kind of sugar that I did not suspect and wasn't aware of. Grain/starch carbohydrates. I knew whole wheat is better than white bread, but switching to multi grains was not enough to swing the tide.
Vegetables and fruit are carbohydrates, but they are lower sugar, and usually come with fiber, which slows blood sugar. Breads and starches are treated like sugar by the body. Some will have no problems with this. Others, do.
No bran muffin can compare to the fiber in an apple for the calories. 5g fiber/340 calories in a Tim Horton bran muffin, versus 4.6g fiber/70 calories in an apple.
I remember going to a Native American museum. There was a display of a Native American skull with advanced tooth decay. It was about early dentistry, and various attempts to fix the decay. The display said the decay came from eating corn, which gets dissolved into sugar by our saliva.
I have always had problems with my dental history. Obviously from cola and Ding Dong abuse, I have fillings on almost all of my molars. Even years after quitting cola, I had early stages of periodontal disease. I build up plaque on my teeth rapidly, and have to see the dentist every 3 months to get it scrapped off. My dentist says it is body chemistry - some people build plaque more easily than others.
I wonder. I wonder if it was the 160-200g of grain/starch carbohydrates I was eating per day, that was converted to sugar. The sugar then feeds the bacteria that causes my wild plaque build up. I'll be very interested to see what my dentist says the next time I see her, now that I have cut down to 70g carbs, almost all vegetable/fruit. It's amazing how many calories are reduced when there is little bread, rice, or potatoes.
Note that in no way am I advocating an all bacon diet. I think a diet low in vegetables and fruit will increase cancer risk. Beta carotene and fiber from veg/fruit are known to lower cancer risk. However, I now believe that high grain carb diets are contributors to a number of diseases from diabetes to gingivitis.
Eating a high amount of vegetables is something we can all improve to do. I'm just choosing to pass on the bread portion.
Does it mean I will never again touch rice, pasta, or bread? Unlikely. I'm sure I will enjoy occasionally. I'm just changing a few things. Instead of pasta as a main course, I'll instead make a side portion of carbonara, and serve it with a main portion of chicken parmesan.
More protein doesn't have to mean meat, if that is the choice.
There is a strange thing when I mention to people what I am doing. There is almost a revulsion, "Oh no, you're not doing low-carb are you?" They start going into how all the meat and fat is going to cause a heart attack and kidney damage.
I know, because I've been that person too. A friend of mine went low-carb before her wedding. She dropped fat like crazy. She didn't do the stereotypical Atkins where she had gobs of bacon and cheese. We ate lots of sushi, and she just ate the sashimi, rather than the rice rolls. She ate plenty of vegetables, also breaking the low-carb stereotype. She looked great at her wedding. Had a healthy baby. Lost all her pregnancy weight (she only gained 17lbs) doing the same thing.
So I can understand the fear people have about my sudden dietary change. But there is something else too. There is almost a fear of, what if I am right? What if after years of spinning my wheels getting nowhere, I finally defeat the myth that this is my destiny, to always be teetering on the edge of fabulous?
After years of seeing my weight cycle up and down between 130-135lbs, I finally feel I got a handle of this. On just this change of dropping the grain/starch portion with every meal, I am only seeing my weight slide down. The way it should be. I'm sure I would be seeing even better results if I could exercise. At the moment, I'm suffering from a cold. But here's a very strange, anecdotal coincidence. Every time I have a cold, I almost always got an ear infection to go with it. I have a malformed sinus duct that tends to clog with fluid when I get sick, which leads to an ear infection. I usually try to pump massive amounts of sudafed to keep my sinus from building fluid. This time, my cold is clearing up, with no sudafed, and no ear infection (knock on wood). I didn't get the tell tale pressure buildup in my ear. No grain sugars to feed bacteria to clog my sinuses? Totally anecdotal, I admit. But whatever it is, I am going to take it as a blessing.

hijack! i think everyone should name their top ten pornstars now
90% of them have very very nice bodies. There are also +60 years old whores and peruvian trannys but aside of that, the district is plenty of very fuckable girls.
It was really fun to walk and think "Oh this girl is so damn hot!! But I will walk a little bit more, if I do not find someone better than her then I will go with this one".
And then you walk and you have first world problems such as "Damnit!! I only have 100 euros with me but there are 2 awesome girls. Do I pay 50 to each one so I fuck both of them (only in one position and maybe they will not let me see or touch their boobs) or do I pay 100 to only one but I will see and touch boobs and fuck her in all positions I want?"
Aaaah good times! xD
Not only brazilians can do this stuff
No, fortunately I have never had an STD.
I always use protection, and I was with the hookers almost 3 years ago. Since then it is not that I have had many sexual partners. In the last 2 years I have slept with only 3 different girls.
Despite that I may look like a crazy perv that will fuck anything that has movement, I am actually very very careful with the girls I bang with. I know that if I get a serious STD or if the girl gets pregnant, it will be the end of my world so I am actually very careful.
Not only brazilians can do this stuff
In the end, the only prize a fighter keeps is you. I only ask that you continue supporting all athletes. Keep supporting them, because in the end your applause is the only thing that remains. The rest is only an illusion. - Wanderlei to fans

Sports Fan Insider
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. (AP) — David Kahn says the Minnesota Timberwolves expect to stay relatively quiet in what is expected to be a frenzied free agency period that opens next week.
Kahn spoke to the media Thursday for the first time since owners and players reached a tentative agreement to end the lockout. The details are still being ironed out, but training camps and free agency are expected to begin on Dec. 9.
Kahn has typically been one of the most active deal makers in his first two seasons as team president. But with 13 players already under contract and only $5 million in cap room, Kahn says he will only do some "pruning" with the roster.
Kahn says he wants to give new coach Rick Adelman a chance to evaluate the full roster.

NEWARK, N.J. — Costs at North American ports will continue to rise unless berth, yard and gate productivity increases enough to handle all the big container ships coming their way. And container lines likewise will see their port costs rise, even if current productivity levels stay the same.
Those were two of the warnings sounded at the inaugural JOC Port Productivity Seminar here on Tuesday.
U.S. ports have been spending billions of dollars in the last decade in an effort to keep up with rising container volumes. But now that volumes are are no longer increasing at double-digit rates, the focus has shifted to improving productivity. "Carriers are focusing on costs by deploying larger, more efficient ships," Richard Larrabee, port commerce director of the Port of New York and New Jersey, said in the seminar's keynote address.
Retail importers also are focusing on costs and want quantitative measurements of port productivity, he said. The problem they face is obtaining comparable data that measure productivity.
"Is port productivity in the U.S. acceptable? No," said Christopher Parvin, vice president of marine operations for Mediterranean Shipping Co. He said the average number of moves per MSC vessel while in port has increased 30 percent in the last five years, but that port productivity has not kept up.
"We waste three hours per ship waiting for labor to start," he said.
Deploying more trucks to load or unload a mega-ship's cargo is becoming difficult because "we are nearing the limit of the number of trucks we can put on one pier," Parvin said.
See also: JOC Data Shows Improvement in Port Productivity
Port trucking is potentially a weak link in improving port productivity because long delays and low pay are pushing port drivers out of the business," said Jim Newsome, president and CEO of the South Carolina Port Authority. "We have to work better with drivers to reduce their turn times," he said. "We need to nurture and respect the truckers, because if we don't, we won't have that resource. Five-hour turn times are not acceptable."
The average time an MSC ships stays in a U.S. port is 32.5 hours, down 0.1 percent from 32.6 hours in 2009. Parvin said labor costs and terminal fees are rising faster than increases in productivity, so carrier costs are increasing.
"If we can't improve our productivity, we are going to run out of berth space in our ports," said Thomas Ward, senior maritime planner at Parsons Brinckerhoff. "And if we run out of berth space, we will lose trade competitiveness.
Even a few seconds of time wasted waiting for yard tractors or equipment are important. Equipment breakdowns or missing staff can ruin productivity, Ward said.
"Carriers can save up to $50,000 per day if they get better service at terminals," said Dr. Felix Kasiske, partner at HPC Hamburg Port Consulting.
He said a terminal's cost of handling a container ship with a capacity of 18,000 20-foot-equivalent units is 50 percent higher than for a 9,000-TEU ship.

Earth's Green Heart, a series of educational visual resources, a tool in the ongoing need to conserve our planet's fragile biodiverse equatorial rainforests.
Green Heart Films is primarily focused on the forests of our planet's equatorial rainforest regions; over the last seven years we have been to Borneo in south east Asia and in Latin America, we have focused our attention on areas such as the Amazon in Peru and Brazil. We have also travelled to the far south of Argentina to witness the impact of climate change on this southern region's melting glaciers. Much of our work is centered on the Congo Basin of Africa, a region with unique species and the planet's second largest equatorial rain forest.

Scores rescued in flooded LimpopoComment on this story
Johannesburg - About 1300 people have been rescued across Limpopo this week due to extensive flooding, the provincial government said on Friday.
"We have rescued about 1300 people since Tuesday," spokesman Phuti Seloba said.
"We have assisted about 700 families, of which 177 are from Lephalale."
Seloba urged motorists to avoid using any roads leading to Lephalale, and the R101 from Bela-Bela to Mookgopong after the dam burst on Thursday.
He said no drownings had been reported to the department since Tuesday.
Most people were being accommodated in community halls in the drier parts of the area.
Various government departments were assisting in managing the situation, he said.
Premier Stan Mathabatha, health MEC Dipuo Letsatsi-Duba, transport MEC Lehlohonolo Masoga, human settlements MEC Ishmael Kgetjepe and public works MEC Dickson Masemola visited Lephalale to assess the area on Thursday.
"[Mathabatha] reviewed the situation and said it was critical and that as a province we might not have all the required resources to deal with the situation," Seloba said.
He said provincial officials were communicating with national government.
"National government has been properly briefed. We believe we will get the proper intervention."

Jim Williams has been watching birds and writing about their antics since before "Gilligan's Island" went into reruns. Join him for his unique insights, his everyday adventures and an open conversation about the birds in your back yard and beyond.
Zebra Mussels slowly are spreading to more Minnesota lakes. This nasty invasive species changes any water into which it is introduced. The discussion you might be hearing or reading about concerns efforts by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources to limit if not halt this spread.
Birders really should pay attention if they're not already doing so.
Outdoor writer Doug Smith discusses this clearly and well in a column he wrote for a recent edition of the StarTribune.
So far, we have heard from fishermen and lakeshore owners. The unfortunate divide is obvious. Lakeshore owners have money in the game; Zebra Mussels in their lakes would be a real problem in both use of the lake and sale of the property. Some fishermen find the idea a nuisance.
Most, perhaps most, fishermen understand that they are the link in the chain of concern. But not all fishermen are taking the preventive measures needed to ensure no contamination. Prevention means thoroughly cleaning tackle, boats, trailers, etc. – any surface or container that could carry the mussel or its larvae.
The DNR reports its inspection of boats at random roadside stations has shown noncompliance of more than 35 percent.
Birders should share the concern of lakeshore owners. Zebra Mussels create major changes in any water they inhabit. They multiply rapidly. A lake can go from no mussels to millions and millions in a few years. The mussels eat by filtering from the water microorganisms that currently form the base of a lake's food chain. Fish numbers and species could change if fish compete with the mussels. Water clarity changes; it can become tap-water clear. This in turn changes vegetation patterns.
These things have impact on bird species using those lakes. The changes might be subtle, but change in nature is hardly ever for the better. Any man-made change from the conditions into which the lakes have evolved is harmful. Nature really does know best.
The Zebra Mussel discussion is characterized by some as anglers versus lakeshore owners. It's more than that. Birders have an interest in seeing that mussels do not spread. If you have a chance, get into the conversation. Once the mussels are introduced into a lake they are there forever.

Investigators explain why officer's arrest took 4 days
Stephen Coco, 41, of Bedford turned himself in to Bedford police Tuesday, four days after the crash and a day after he was fired from the Manchester Police Department. By then, police had a warrant for his arrest on two class B felony counts of conduct after an accident, which carry a maximum sentence of 3 1/2 to seven years per charge.
LaFrance said investigators wanted to be certain when they sought an arrest warrant from a judge that they had the needed probable cause.
A little more than five hours after the crash, detectives had information that Coco was the man at the wheel of an SUV that hit the two teens as they walked along Harrod Drive. Investigators had matched a broken part of a plastic lens, found at the crash scene, to Coco's damaged 2007 Nissan Pathfinder that was parked in the driveway of his 29 Meadowcrest Drive home.
LaFrance explained, however, that while the part appeared to be a match to the "naked eye," that is not forensic evidence. An expert, she said, is needed at trial to show that the part came off the Nissan.
And, according to the affidavit filed in 9th Circuit Court, Merrimack District Division, Coco also denied he had driven the Nissan at all that night.
Meanwhile, Manchester police have said they have concluded an internal investigation into the hit-and-run as well as events preceding it. Coco had been visiting the Harrod Lane home of Jeff Harrington, a fellow Manchester police officer whose son suffers from leukemia.
"A large amount of information was gathered during the investigation, the scope of which encompassed the periods of time that preceded and followed the collision. The only employee misconduct identified during this investigation was on the part of Stephen Coco and based on those findings, he was terminated," said police Lt. Maureen Tessier.
LaFrance said the case is still under investigation. She said it will be prosecuted by another county attorney's office - which one has yet to be determined.
Dean Drukker, 18, and Noah Hickman, 17, were struck from behind on the night of March 22 as they were walking along Harrod Lane. Drukker suffered a serious head injury and was hospitalized for several days, while Hickman broke his right elbow.
The driver of the SUV fled the scene. Police were led to Coco's home after Hickman told them he and Drukker saw the SUV leave a nearby home, which turned out to be Harrington's residence.
Later on Saturday, investigators impounded the SUV, which was an undercover vehicle assigned to Coco as a sergeant in the Special Investigations Unit at the Manchester Police Department. They obtained a warrant to search it and found fresh damage to its front, numerous indentations in the front hood on the driver's side and fabric impressions on the front bumper consistent with the clothes Drukker had on when he was hit, according to the affidavit.
Coco is free on $20,000 personal recognizance bail, pending a probable cause hearing set for April 16.
Coco, who was employed with the Manchester Police Department for 17 1/2 years, was fired Monday for violating several standard operating procedures, according to Manchester Police Chief David Mara.

This may be a little "politically incorrect" on our CCW forum but is anyone here concerned about the government now having a list of everyone who is armed? My history teacher always described this as a bad thing. He always said the government knowing who had weapons was the same as them knowing who to take them away from in a case of major dissent. I don't mean to "rock the boat" but I'm sure someone besides myself has had this cross their mind .
My history teacher has had the greatest effect on my way of thinking only second to God and parents. Kudo's to good educaters

We were down to one that was working, which was always lost somewhere in the house, that I could hear ringing but could never find in time to answer, so I would always make a made dash to the base and talk to whomever was calling on speaker hunched over with my face within inches of the base so they could hear me.

I am extrovert and my husband is introvert. The main disadvantage of introvert is being unsocial and not outgoing. This makes our relationship very hard since we like to do two different things. What do you think, will this type of relationship last long or what can be done to improve?
Not sure what you two do for fun, so could be way off base here, but consider social activities that can be measured on a smaller scale. For example, rather than celebrating his birthday at the bar, or having a house party (just throwing a couple of things out there as an example – again, I don't know what you like to do for fun), try hosting dinner at home with only two sets of couples who are close to you two. That way, you'll get the extroverted benefit of being social all evening while he gets the introverted benefit of the comfort of his own home, with people he feels close to and comfortable with.
Maybe I can help with your question a some.
I'm an introvert myself… I wouldn't go as far as to say I'm unsocial or outgoing by any means. I very much enjoy interacting with people, however for me I enjoy it on a "one on one", or smaller groups on an intimate basis rather than bigger groups or crowds. I don't like to be pulled into all directions when I'm with people and small talk makes me a bit anxious. Introverts expend a lot of energy in social surroundings and being able to retreat in solitude or a form a down time is our way of "recharging". I've come to realize being with an extrovert is very complimentary to a relationship. While I do very much enjoy being in my "own space", having someone that encourages parts of my personality that are typically subdued is refreshing. As an example: In a group of people I'm very much the person who likes to people watch, listen to conversations and take in my surroundings. Having a partner who can carry on a conversation and feels comfortable interacting amongst others relieves a lot of the social pressures sometimes us introverts feel. I've realized having an extrovert partner brings out my more social side that isn't hidden away, rather reserved. Like all relationships there's finding that balance between each other. It would be understandably difficult to have a partner who didn't desire the things you enjoy, however I do believe in having a balance if both partners are open.
If this is something that is of interest to you, the book An Innie mentioned is a good resource to start with. Another great book is "The Introvert's Way".
It'll help you better understand your husband's introvert ways… Maybe it'll help the both of you gain a little perspective and understanding. I know for me it definitely did.
Ah, a rarely-heard voice for the introverts! Thank you for this blog post. I am not only an introvert, but a shy one. You mention a blog by Laurie Helgoe – she also has published a book called "Introvert Power" that helped me understand the differences between introverts & extroverts immensely. We've all heard the expression, "the squeaky wheel gets the grease." Societally, the squeaky wheels tend to be extroverts, which gives them an enormous leg to stand on in American culture. Introverts are often mistaken as meek, boring, and often even cold; when so often they're really just waiting for the extrovert(s) to stop talking long enough for our opinions to be not only voiced, but heard without having to shout over everyone else.
I highly recommed "Introvert Power" to extroverts and introverts alike! We can all learn something from this book!
What great comments, advice, and resources! I agree with all of your excellent thoughts!
I'm an introvert, but definitely not shy; although, those that don't know me well tend to get that impression of me. Drives me CRAZY, especially when they put that on my peer review. I can't stand it. It's an unfair, permanent remark that goes on my work file. I have absolutely NO problem speaking my mind and opinions in meetings; however, since I also grew up with common respect for others I don't interrupt others. I've learned over the years of working at TEC to just go ahead and interrupt the extroverts in the meetings. I feel like I'm being disrespectful in doing so, but I have not received any negative feed back in doing so. Just wanted to share this for any others that may be the same way.
I also read and enjoyed the following book: The Introvert Advantage: How to Thrive in an Extrovert World by Marti Olsen Laney Psy.D. (Author).
I recommend this book to both Introverts and Extroverts. It touches on how to relate to both and how both types think and even how the thinking pattern in our brains are different. If you have children there is a section about introvert/extrovert parents/children.
Thank you everyone for the comments. I have never thought it that way. I always get upset thinking why he doesnot plan anything fun for the family. So I have to be the one to start. It is very helpful and I hope to bring some positive change this new year.
