The first book review of "Straight Up"
Solar Today: "Climate Progress blogger says: Deploy without delay"
Buried on page 95, midway through his chapter titled "The Clean Energy Solution," Joe Romm summarizes the only workable strategy for saving the planet from catastrophic climate change. That strategy focuses on rapid commercialization of existing renewable energy technologies. Our plan, he says, must be "Deployment, deployment, deployment, R&D, deployment, deployment, deployment."
That's a powerful message for wind, solar and geothermal businesses to run with.
Seth Masia, Deputy Editor of Solar Today, has a review of my new book Straight Up (click here to buy).
There'll be a lot of reviews in the next couple of weeks, and I won't print them all. But since the book cuts through the crap on a broad set of subjects, I'm most interested in the different takeaways people have. Here's more from Masia:
Straight Up is a collection of short articles from Romm's blog ClimateProgress.org. If you read that blog, you're probably a passionate fan. If you don't, you should know that Romm, an MIT Ph.D. in physics, ran a number of renewable energy programs at the Department of Energy from 1993 to 1998. Since then, he has consulted with a number of major corporations on energy issues, written several books and joined the Center for American Progress as a senior fellow. He has consistently beaten the drum for fast commercialization of concentrating solar power (CSP), wind, photovoltaics (PV) and geothermal energy sources. These are mature, scalable technologies that must overcome policy barriers, not technical hurdles.
Straight Up, however, is not mainly a book advocating policy and tax code changes. It's a collection of spirited and readable critiques of the delaying forces — the corporations and institutions who want to see no changes in national policies and tax codes that now work to make them rich. In particular, Romm eviscerates the American news establishment for ignoring climate catastrophe issues, even while journalists around the world have made climate the story of the century….
Romm notes that a favorite delaying tactic is to call for research breakthroughs before carbon-neutral energy sources can be competitive. He summarizes critical data proving that mature and scalable renewable sources are at grid parity now and can be profitably commercialized wherever utilities have incentive to use them.
Straight Up probably won't convert true believers in a fossil fuel future, but it may stiffen the spines of some renewable energy advocates. It's full of solid fact-based arguments, properly referenced within the text (no footnotes!), along with a lot of low-carbon fire and brimstone.
The book's release date is April 19, in time for Earth Day, but it can be ordered at Amazon.com now at a pre-publication price of $19.75.
This is my first book without an extensive set of notes. The point of notes is to allow readers to go to original sources to check the accuracy of what is written (or to follow up on a subject of interest). It seemed like a waste of paper in an age when people can use Google to look up a fact or quote and when I have active links in all the original blog posts on which the book is based. It seemed redundant to reprint the references in the book in a less useful form.
So I decided to put the references either in the text or refer people to posts here. I will try to do a post in the coming week with links to some of the key references to the book.

This is a really important message, and Masia was sharp to pick up on it.
Historically the media has interviewed people like utility or fossil fuel company executives about alternative power, and they always get the same answer: "We will need to depend on coal and other fossil fuels until 2030 and beyond, when alternatives will be ready". Reporters eat this up, because they view these people as "serious". What these executives are really serious about, of course, is staying in the same ruts, and making money at the expense of the environment and our children's futures.
Clean power is cheaper right now, if fossil fuel tax breaks and environmental externalities are factored into the costs. If utilities- most of which are supposed to operate in the public interest- are encouraged to incorporate these costs into their balance sheets, the world would change, even in China and India.
It's the solar and wind developers who are the serious ones, since their teams typically include brilliant scientists and engineers, obsessed with making the world a better place. This includes you, Joseph Romm.
Great book reviews are great, but we should save our best bottles of Champagne for when atmospheric concentrations of CO2 get back to, and stabilize at, 350 ppm or less, yes?
I trust that the next book is already in the works and that you'll be in front of the Capitol with a bull horn on Thursday?
Congrats, Joe!
> "Deployment, deployment, deployment, R&D, deployment, deployment, deployment."
Absolutely, the problem is not technology, the problem is climate change. Technology is just tools in the toolbox and we have a big enough toolbox to deal with the problem right now. Climate Change is a moving target; we continue to make matters worse. If we wait for better tools, we are betting that technological advancement will outpace the development of the problem. That is far from certain, 10 years from now the technology may be twice as good but the problem 3 times more complex. Down the road the tools may be better but less able to fix the problem.
Deployment, deployment, deployment!!!
I, in all modesty, have just also featured my very own copy of Straight Up here:
with eggs.
Yes, yes! "Deployment, deployment, deployment, R&D, deployment, deployment."
There's stuff that's been around for literally hundreds of years or more that makes civilization much more environmentally compatible such as passive solar design, wind power — the right type of education! — but there is such a thing as the unforeseen emergence of positively disruptive technologies and practices like cell phones, personal computers and the internet or even extreme sports like skateboards, inline skates and snowboards, often alarmingly simple things that go viral.
One thing may well be small vehicles as mobility machines small enough to be easily human powered yet capable of using other power sources as well; broadly deploying sufficient efficiencies equivalent to incredibly large reserves of distributed on-demand low-cost energy.
4. fj2 (continued),
. . . in addition, potentially providing for highly resilient transit somewhat immune to the disruptive and unforeseen on the scale of the Iceland volcano event and increasingly extreme weather.
In paging through my newly arrived copy of "Straight Up," I have come across this entry:
which perfectly exemplifies the false distinction between environmentalism, and approaching the transition to clean energy for economic, political and security reasons. They are not and should not be mutually exclusive policies, as many of the excellent comments to that post explain.
Energy security isn't going to mean much without a functioning ecosystem. CO2 is only part of the existential threat that humans must confront – the degradation of the environment, the availability of food free of contamination, and clean water – are critical for humans as well as frogs and polar bears.
We will share their fate.
JR, please revise your stance to be more like, REVIVE EARTH DAY than the original "Let's Dump Earth Day." We aren't going to be spared the loss of butterflies, bees, and trees, just because we THINK we are superior. We will share their future, and if that is extinction, that will be our fate, as well.
Hope to see you Thursday!!!
Deployment – yes, heck yes. And because we have only 10 – 20 years to replace coal, we, as a "movement", must have a specific, simple, doable deployment demand that we can hammer our politicians with, relentlessly, until they finally submit and do the peoples' will. We need a bumper sticker length phrase, something that can be put on a placard, short, yet fully makes this point – and makes it vividly. Any suggestions out there? My suggestion is "100 Miles of Mirrors", since we only need 100 miles by 100 miles of CSP Solar Thermal mirror arrays to completely replace coal for burning electricity in the USA – the same applies for China, India, and Europe (from the Sahara). This CSP can be built up in time (much faster than nuclear), and, with thermal storage, it runs 24/7 just like coal. The question is: do we have the time to demand deployment strategies that are more complicated than that? Or have we reached the state of time urgency where we must keep our demand extremely simple? As Dr. Hansen says, if we stay at 450ppm long enough ALL THE POLAR ICE WILL MELT, and 80% of the solution is to stop burning coal by 2030. But one thing is for sure: our movement needs a specific demand that people can repeat, remember and understand. Again: any suggestions?
Wit's End is right.
It is impossible to separate climate issues from larger environmental concerns. In my view, the greatest failure of climate science, at least to date, has been its seeming disinterest with integrating information that does not fall within a, relatively speaking, narrow band. All of the fixes we deploy for ourselves will be meaningless if they don't prevent the intentional exploitation, or correlative eradication, of other species. This goes beyond being smart about energy. A broader approach is required.
By all means, deploy. Feedbacks cometh: volcanism.
Alex Carlin — If we even just stay around the current concentrations, much of the ice will eventually melt and sea levels will go up tens of meters.
Not good.
Planes cannot fly but guess what, ships still work. Three or four days on a large cruise ship and 5,000 or more folks could be across the puddle. They might even enjoy the journey.
I agree that working on climate solutions and doing something about ravaging the environment are entertwined. Tactically, though, we have to be careful here.
Plenty of Americans are caught up in their trucks and TV's, and don't care about the environment. And the oil and gas companies are clever. I have seen them join forces with fake environmentalists to scare people into believing that a carpet of mirrors would cover the whole Mojave Desert, or by exaggerating bird deaths from wind turbines. Wind and solar are way ahead in this argument, but it could be neutralized somewhat, especially since so many people have swallowed the lies about gas fracking and power plants being safe and clean.
Everyday Americans would benefit just as much from clean power, so a more universal approach might be called for. Remind them that they are the ones who are getting screwed the most by coal and oil companies, through the high proportion of their incomes that goes for their vehicles and homes. Plenty of Americans are out of work, too, and there are no better jobs programs than solar and wind arrays, and building a smart grid. Remind all those Republicans why we are sending our young men to get killed in the Middle East, too. These arguments resonate with everyone, especially since the oil and coal companies have successfully muddied the emissions issue through bizarre spokesmen like Anthony Watts and Glenn Beck.
Alex Carlin, I like the 100 miles of mirrors idea as a serious marketing approach. Most people don't know about this- maybe McKibben can step up here with his organization. A catchy ad campaign could be effective. Maybe the solar energy trade association needs to do it- solar execs themselves are geeky types, and don't think in terms of broad marketing programs.
Great book review. Congratulations! I can't wait to get an autographed copy in WDC on Thursday!
Picking up on what Wit's End and you say about Earth Day, calling it "Triage Day," as you've suggested, is fine, as long as it will help save the damn climate for our offspring. In fact, if we did apply the logic of triage to our national problems, we would have put climate change before health care, because climate change is likely life threatening for six billion homo stupidians, while US health care will only impact a small fraction of this number. The same goes for financial reform–how many people will die from delaying this for a year?
Whatever you want to call Earth Day, we hope you'll stand up for the climate, for the love of your own family, and join us when we convene the Citizens' Climate Congress at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue at 1:00 PM on Thursday. Look for our blues-singing coal plant, our boisterous, rapping polar bear, and our earth-tone banner asking Obama to Lead on Climate!
If you can't attend the CCC on Earth Day, Joe and/or gentle CP readers, then do your part and sign the "Obama, Please Educate and Lead" petition that we plan to deliver to the president at the conclusion of the congress. (You can find the petition on Change.org, or on GWEN's home page–just Google gwenet.)
Just think: if Obama would throw his full power as president into getting Americans to understand and fight climate change, we could pull this out of the fire before we all go down the tube. Is that too much to ask, after 200,000 years of evolution—to avoid putting our kids and grandkids through hell and high water?
I, for one, don't think so. Where's the change we can believe in?
Speaking of climate change books; I was at Barnes and Noble bookstore today, to buy a copy of Climate Cover-Up for a friend. They didn't have it on the shelf. They said I could order it. Later, browsing the shelves, I didn't see "Hell and High Water", nor Ross Gelbspan's books, nor "Science as Contact Sport". They did have Hansen's new book. There were more denier books than mainstream, it seemed to me, including a few books by Roy Spencer, a book called Climate Gate etc. They had both books by Lomborg, but not "The Lomborg Deception".
A similar thing happened when I was in LA's San Fernando Valley this winter. The local Barnes and Noble store didn't have a copy of Climate Cover-Up. When the clerk looked it up on the computer, only one store of five local stores had a copy.
Wotts up with that?
With accolades of praise to Joe for your deep sense of purpose and your awesomely accelerating strategic impact…
You make possible, i.e. you enable the development, alignment and execution of coordinated strategic solutions through the network of networks within which you are enmeshed. You have strategically chosen your focus with an understanding of the multiple causal factors contributing to the inadequate response, to date, for mobilizing a strategic set of solutions for our common problem(s). Your focus is enmeshed within a broader network of interrelated and individual issues, all of which have combined to create a period of evolutionary crisis, i.e. opportunity paralleled by great risk.
I suggest the following for consideration by Joe, CAP, and readers of Joe's blog, as well as organizations with whom CAP and its leadership system has a connection, formal and/or informal:
1 To achieve your purpose, go beyond that purpose to stimulate the connectedness of a larger network or organizations & individuals/groups. Strategic System Level Intervention Hypothesis [1]: You can increase yoiur desired strategic impact by developing cross-organizational alignment for common purpose > A key issue for strategic impact in solution execution is the degree of alignment across sources of human energy/intelligence/analysis/brainstorming/planning/action and resources. Alignment creates orders of magnitude improvement in system response in an accelerating function. Focus is required on key leverage points, which vary across levels of potential strategic solution impact [global, regional/national, organizational, cities/communities; and individuals/families].
Proposed common purpose: Global Resilient Sustainability, clarified by six strategic pillars: jobs & economy, infrastructure, food, energy, water & shelter
> with the 5 levels for coordinated action identified in 1 above [global, region/nat'l, org'al, cities/com'ties, indiv's/families]. These six pillars can be considered Strategic Outcome Themes, beneath which lie the issues associated with commercialization of technologies identified by Joe, including policy adjustment, et al.
> Joe Romm and CAP/CP website and blog can be identified as primary & referential source of information and PoV [point of view] for climate science. This includes consideration of contributory human system factors at multiple levels touched by Joe&CP/CAP, with specific reference to American media, their failure to report information needed by the public for RS, which should be a required common public good and right for their license, and the causative factors contributing to that failure, with an eye toward creating a solution for that cause, through further networked discussion, b'storming, decision making, planning, execution and adjustment based on results, in a purposeful problem solving process.
Description of my own PoV about RS strategy execution can be downloaded. I reference JR and climateprogress.org as the only specifically recommended site for information/analysis of climate science and analysis at: http://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0B0NdbqiXpgrDYmU1NmU3M2MtN2NlNy00ZjVjLTg0ODYtNzI2M2FjOTRiYTRi&hl=en Cross border alignment for RS is a critical requirement for sufficient solution response. The initial stimulus for discussion is presented at the above link.
Sailrick, #15, I noticed the same thing, and it pissed me off, too. When I was in a Barnes and Noble in Palm Desert last year the climate change section was about 75% denier garbage.
I think this represents the opinions of Barnes and Noble corporate ownership. Even Palm Desert is not that right wing politically, and certainly San Fernando Valley (Waxman's district) isn't, where you were.
I live in Seattle, where I doubt if that's the situation (though I haven't checked the Barnes and Noble here). Maybe you should follow up with B&N management, and take it to the top. A lot of curious browsers are getting hoodwinked.
#15 Sailrick Re: Bookstores that lack good climate books.
Order your choices from local bookstores (and don't sweat the wait.)
It encourages them to stock the titles; no one sees what we buying online.
Go back later and order gift copies seperately.
I got up to about page 100 today, just past the "deployment" mantra you quote. I hope we can get some kind of carbon price this year; it looks to be an uphill fight. Then, if it isn't accomplished in this bill, we've got to focus on demolishing the deployment barriers. Decoupling, feed-in tariff, interstate transmission lines, renewable percent requirement…

Halloween Safety Tips
Published: Sunday, October 31, 2010 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, October 30, 2010 at 11:52 p.m.
RALEIGH — Halloween is one of the most exciting nights of the year for many kids, but can also be one of the most dangerous. On average, twice as many children are killed while walking on Halloween than on other days of the year.
"On Halloween, kids can get caught up in the fun and forget safety measures like looking both ways before crossing a street," said Insurance Commissioner Wayne Goodwin, chair of Safe Kids North Carolina. "As parents and caregivers, we need to make sure they know and use safe practices, and as drivers, we need to be extra alert for kids in and near roadways."
Pedestrian safety tips:
u Trick-or-treat in groups. Kids younger than 12 should go with an adult. Stick to familiar, well-lit areas.
u Use sidewalks or paths. Cross streets at corners and use traffic signals and crosswalks. Look left, right and left again to check for cars before you walk, never run, across the street.
u Watch out for cars that are turning or backing up. Never cross between parked cars or dart into the street.
u Decorate costumes and bags with reflective tape or materials and wear light colors so that it's easier for cars to see you. Carry a flashlight and choose non-toxic facepaint or makeup instead of masks, which can obstruct your vision.
Driving safety tips:
u Slow down and stay alert, especially in residential neighborhoods and school zones. The majority of trick-or-treaters are out between 5-8 p.m. Drive with your full headlights on, even at dusk, so that you can see children and they can see you.
u Enter and exit driveways and alleys slowly and carefully. Take extra time to look for kids at intersections and on medians and curbs.
u Avoid doing things that can distract you from driving, such as talking on the phone or eating.
u Remember that costumes can limit children's vision, and they might not be able to see your vehicle.
Fire and burn prevention tips:
u Look for a costume with a label that indicates it is made of flame-resistant materials. If you're making a costume, choose materials that won't ignite easily if they come in contact with heat or flame. Form-fitting costumes without billowing or trailing fabric are less likely to brush against ignition sources.
u Instead of a candle, use a battery-operated light or flashlight in your jack-o-lantern. Supervise children while trick-or-treating so that they avoid contact with lit candles and jack-o-lanterns.
u Decorations like corn stalks and crepe paper are highly flammable. Keep them away from open flame and heat sources.
u Teach children to cover their faces and "Stop, Drop and Roll" if their clothing catches fire.

I didn't want to post this in trac, because I feel like I'm missing something simple or I'm out of the loop on something.
These all seem to not do anything within a theme:
It seems that themes support post-formats/structured-post-formats by default, and there's no way to remove it? Does this mean all themes moving forward need to incorporate post formats? Or is this a temporary thing that just hasn't been completed in the current beta?
In looking at WP 3.6-beta1 core and some of these functions, I see a few places where "structured-post-formats" appears but in places that seem to be incomplete within functions like
add_theme_support() and
current_theme_supports() -- So that's what got me thinking maybe this is just something that's not finished yet.

Aircraft may be lessening their carbon footprint, but what about airports?
June 22, 2015 08:47 AM - Timothy Spence, EurActiv
Today's passenger aircraft are becoming ever more efficient, driven by regulations like the EU's emissions trading scheme and airlines looking to squeeze profit out of every drop of fuel saved. Yet on the ground, airports operate in a different class. New findings from a European Union-funded research project show that commercial airports use as much energy as a small city, and up to one-fifth of that may be wasted.
Switzerland Promotes Neighborhood Exchange Boxes
June 1, 2015 08:49 AM - Tex Dworkin, Care2
If someone were to set up a telephone booth sized box on your street filled with unwanted items — such as books, toys and small knick knacks, perhaps — and then topped it off with a "Free" sign, what do you think would happen? If Switzerland is any indication, passersby turned salvagers and recyclers would appear out of nowhere, sifting their way through other people's unwanted discards, thinking up ways to put their newfound discoveries to good (re)use. Some would even add their own unwanted items to the box. Neighborhood exchange boxes have helped Geneva, Switzerland reuse 32 tons of goods thus far thanks to a program called BOÎTES D'ÉCHANGE ENTRE VOISINS–A box for exchange between neighbors. But can it work in other cities?

December 3, 2014 10:18 AM - Allison Winter, ENN
The tradition of the Capitol Christmas Tree, or The People's Tree, began in 1964 when Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives John W. McCormack (D-MA) placed a live Christmas tree on the Capitol lawn. This tree lived three years before succumbing to wind and root damage. In 1970, the Capitol Architect asked the U.S. Forest Service to provide a Christmas tree. Since then, a different national forest has been chosen each year to provide The People's Tree. This national forest also works with state forests to provide companion trees that are smaller Christmas trees for offices in Washington, D.C.
This year, the 88-foot-tall white spruce tree was harvested from the Chippewa National Forest in northeastern Minnesota by Jim Scheff who won the Logger of the Year award from the Sustainable Forestry Initiative Inc. (SFI).
That begs the question how can a logger win an award from a sustainability group?
ENERGY STAR's first multifamily properties announced today
November 13, 2014 08:31 AM - ENERGY STAR
Roughly one-third of the U.S. population lives in the country's 500,000 multifamily buildings, and they spend $22 billion on energy every year. Until this year, apartment and condo managers lacked the tools to measure how much energy they were wasting and compare their performance nationwide. Meanwhile, energy costs for renters have risen by 20 percent over the past decade.
Today, a new era of savings will be ushered in when the U.S EPA announces the first set of multifamily properties to earn the ENERGY STAR certification. The ENERGY STAR first became available to the sector this September, after a three-year partnership with Fannie Mae to develop the scoring system for multifamily properties.
Which Form of Energy is the Cheapest?
October 16, 2014 10:47 PM - Kevin Mathews, Care2
Which kind of power is the cheapest? Listen to energy companies, and they'll insist that traditional forms like gas and coal are the way to go. Of course, they have money invested in keeping the existing systems in business. That's why the European Union commissioned an independent analysis to study the topic. According to the report, wind energy is the most cost-efficient way to supply power. When proponents of non-renewable energy point to costs, they intentionally overlook the overall economic impact that polluting causes. Once experts start to calculate the costs associated with public health and climate change that coincide with burning coal and gas, the true cost is far higher than initially reported. It's both irresponsible and shortsighted to ignore these environmental and health consequences from the equation.
Does the public trust what scientists say?
October 6, 2014 03:58 PM - Princeton University
If scientists want the public to trust their research suggestions, they may want to appear a bit "warmer," according to a new review published by Princeton University's Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs. The review, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), shows that while Americans view scientists as competent, they are not entirely trusted. This may be because they are not perceived to be friendly or warm.
Connecting Productivity of Office Workers and Climate Change
September 29, 2014 09:57 AM - John Alker, The Ecologist
Energy efficiency in office buildings struggles to gain the attention of top management, writes John Alker - because energy is too cheap to really matter. But with 90% of operating costs spent on staff, a new report shows that green building design makes employees happier and more productive. There would seem to be no connection between the productivity of office workers and the great challenge of climate change. But a report published by the World Green Building Council suggests otherwise.
The Future of Vertical Farming
September 19, 2014 06:15 AM - Allison Winter, ENN
From big company agricultural farming, to communal farming or even personal agronomy, the business of growing crops for an expanding global population will be crucial in the near future. The two most important resources needed to run these farms are one, water, and two, land. But these resources often come at a premium, especially with growing populations and increased food demand. Farmers and researchers have already started leaning towards genetic engineering and industrial processing to help with their crop yields, but a new solution in agribusiness is emerging. Vertical farming.
Malaysia's 'Smart Villages' and other great ideas for sustainable development
September 18, 2014 06:15 AM - Malaysian Industry-Government Group for High Technology via EurekAlert
As nations zero in on the UN's post-2015 global Sustainable Development Goals, innovations being successfully pioneered and demonstrated in Malaysia offer several proven tactical ideas for improving the world, says an influential international sustainable development networking organization. The UN's Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN), through its Malaysian chapter, cites ways in which the country is "rising to the challenge," including the construction of ingenious, self-sustaining "smart" villages -- each lifting about 100 families out of poverty and into affordable homes and employment. Meanwhile, guides for minimizing the carbon footprint of cities while promoting healthy lifestyles, and using science to extract new wealth from palm biomass waste are among other creative initiatives underway in Malaysia that help light a path for emerging economy countries.

Spring's War of Attrition
If one quote could sum up an entire spring training for both New York baseball teams, it was this one from Terry Collins. "When we get to the end of spring training," the Mets manager said last week, "we'll decide which 25 are physically able to go north."
He was talking about his team, but he could just as well have been talking about the Yankees. This is what spring training has come to for the erstwhile baseball capital of America.
Never mind identifying the best 25 players. Never mind all the theories on roster construction. At this point, after all the injuries the Yankees and Mets have endured, the questionnaire for a spot on a New York baseball team goes something like this:
Can you breathe? Can you walk? Do you like baseball? Have you ever played baseball? Did you watch "Bull Durham" once? If you answered yes to any one of the above, how soon can you start?
After being rebuffed by Chipper Jones, Brian Cashman is one more inflamed joint away from asking how long it would take to unfreeze Ted Williams. On the other side of the state, Sandy Alderson seems to have run out of jokes about the state of his roster, which is saying something.
To be fair, there are always people in Florida physically unable to go north this time of year. Typically, they just reside in places with names like Del Boca Vista.
To recap for those who have lost count: The Yankees will begin the season without Alex Rodriguez, Mark Teixeira, Curtis Granderson, likely Clay Rapada and possibly Derek Jeter and Phil Hughes. The Mets will begin the season without Johan Santana and Frank Francisco, probably without Daniel Murphy and possibly without David Wright. Another pitcher, Shaun Marcum, required a cortisone shot this week to soothe his balky shoulder.
It's still possible Jeter and Wright recover quickly enough to play in each team's season opener on April 1. Hughes shouldn't miss much time, if any. But if you combine the worst-case scenarios for both teams with the deficiencies they had to begin with, you are left with what is, collectively, the worst Opening Day starting lineups New York has seen in a long time.
If Jeter is out, the Yankees' starting nine against the Red Sox on April 1 will probably look something like this: Brett Gardner, Ichiro Suzuki, Robinson Cano, Kevin Youkilis, Juan Rivera, Ben Francisco, Francisco Cervelli, Eduardo Nunez and Jayson Nix.
That is ghastly by Yankees standards, though quite all right in comparison to the Mets. The projected starting lineup on April 1 in Flushing without Wright: Collin Cowgill, Ruben Tejada, Marlon Byrd, Ike Davis, Justin Turner, Lucas Duda, John Buck, Jordany Valdespin and Jon Niese.
How long has it been since the Yankees' and Mets' Opening Day lineups looked so bad? Here's one rough way of quantifying it: Take the 2012 on-base plus slugging percentage of each team's projected starters and average them together.
The average prior-year OPS of the Yankees lineup mentioned above is .713. The last time they trotted out a Game 1 lineup that bad? Fire up the wayback machine and don't stop until you see Boris Yeltsin, MC Hammer and "Edward Scissorhands." The year was 1990, according to Stats LLC, and the Yankees lost 95 games.
The average prior-year OPS of the Mets' projected lineup without Wright, excluding the pitcher Niese, is .672. By this measure, it would be their worst since 1983, when they lost 94 games.
Now, again, these are worst-case scenarios. And they're for one game. We pay a disproportionate amount of attention to what the lineup looks like for one of 162 games. Wright and Jeter could return quickly. The Yankees could make a trade sometime in the next week.
But the mere possibility that both lineups could appear so feeble at the start of the season indicates New York's shifting place in the baseball universe. The Yankees are vulnerable. The Mets are pitiable. And their managers are left to sort through whichever warm bodies remain, hoping simply to assemble a lineup that is playable.

Dictionary<T, U> in asp.net application. Application is running for a long time and new elements will be continuously added to the dictionary. My goal is to keep so many elements in Dictionary as possible, without "memory overflow" or other side effects. How should I clean the collection to give some memory free for new elements, by deleting old ones? How to check how many old elements and when should elements be deleted?
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.

Since you are using a managed language you are limited in the way how you can manage your memory and the practices of manual memory freeing or forcing garbage collector do it are all deemed as suboptimal.
So, there is no direct way to say how many elements your generic dictionary is allowed to keep and how much memory you still can claim. In the same time deleting some old values from the dictionary will not automatically lead to immediate increase of available memory.
This said, you can keep monitoring the memory currently allocated to your application using GC.GetTotalMemory (as long as your object are fully manageable, e.g. contain no unmanaged code or data blocks) and compare it to the total system memory available to application.
Or, if you know the size of the objects you put into your
Finally, if you are using the dictionary as a cache, there are some built-in cache providers in ASP.NET, read from here. The cache will automatically drop objects that are obsolete or old in case of memory pressure.
Have you checked out
This is not a simple task. It sounds as if you are using the dictionary as cache in which case you should look into standard caching for asp.net.
That said you could choose different strategies. You could choose to set an upper bound on the number of elements you want in the dictionary. This is can be done by having a linked list with elements and letting the dictionary store the

FDA approved Vivus' once-daily Qsymia™ (phentermine and topiramate extended-release) capsules as an aid to weight loss in conjunction with a calorie-reduced diet and increased physical activity. The single capsule combination therapy is indicated for use in obese patients with an initial body mass index (BMI) of at least 30, or overweight patients (BMI 27 or greater) who have at least one weight-related comorbidity, such as hypertension, type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol.
Approval of the drug was based on data from two year-long Phase III studies. The placebo-controlled Equip trial evaluated Qsymia in severely obese patients, and the placebo-controlled Conquer study included overweight and obese patients with at least two weight-related comorbidities. Data from Equip showed that patients given Qsymia achieved an average weight loss of 10.9%, compared with 1.6% for those receiving placebo. Qsymia-treated patients in the Conquer trial achieved an average weight loss of up to 9.8% (7.8% for those receiving a lower dose), compared with a weight loss of 1.2% for placebo-treated patients.
FDA clearance of the drug comes with a risk evaluation and mitigation strategy to inform users and prescribers of the risks of orofacial clefts developing in infants exposed to Qsymia during the first trimester of pregnancy. Vivus is also charged with carrying out postmarketing studies to assess the long-term effects of Qsymia therapy on major adverse cardiovascular events in overweight and obese patients with confirmed cardiovascular disease, as well as safety and efficacy studies in obese pediatric and adolescent subjects, and assessments of drug utilization and pregnancy exposure, and effects on renal function.

The effect of pressure on titanium coordination in glasses, with composition K2TiSi4O11, quenched isobarically from liquids equilibrated at high pressure (5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 kbar respectively) and T=1600° C has been investigated by X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS). The XANES spectra collected at the Ti K-edge clearly show a variation with pressure that is related to changes in the geometrical environment around the Ti atoms. By comparison with spectra of standard materials, the XANES spectra of the glasses suggest a relatively low average coordination number (near 5) in samples quenched at low pressure and a higher coordination number (near 6) in samples quenched from the highest pressure. The combination of XANES data with density and compressibility measurements supports the idea that a mixture of 6- and lower coordinated (4- and/ or 5-coordinated) Ti geometries are present in the 1 bar glass, and an increasing proportion of 6-coordinated Ti occurs in the glasses synthesized at progressively higher pressures.

Parmalat Suits Against Grant Thornton Revived by Court
Two lawsuits by Parmalat SpA and its Parmalat Capital Finance Ltd. unit claiming damages from the accounting firm Grant Thornton LLP were revived by a federal appeals court in New York.
The appeals court ruled today that U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan in Manhattan, who was assigned to oversee federal Parmalat-related lawsuits from throughout the country, applied the wrong standard in deciding to exercise jurisdiction over the Grant Thornton suits, which were originally filed in Illinois state court in 2004 and 2005.
The appeals court sent the cases back to Kaplan to determine whether he should have permitted the cases to stay in Illinois. Kaplan, after taking jurisdiction over the cases, dismissed them in 2009. An affirmative ruling by Kaplan, or by the appeals court reviewing Kaplan's answer to the question, would undo the dismissals and permit the Illinois court to consider the claims.
Parmalat, a dairy company based in Collecchio, Italy, collapsed in December 2003 in the country's largest bankruptcy, later disclosing more than 14 billion euros ($18.7 billion) of debt, about eight times the amount reported by its former management. Parmalat SpA emerged from bankruptcy and returned to the stock market in 2005.
Parmalat's Collapse
Enrico Bondi, who was appointed to oversee the Parmalat bankruptcy, sued Grant Thornton, claiming it aided in the fraud that led to Parmalat's collapse. Parmalat Capital also sued the firm.
"We are currently reviewing the order," Kristi Grgeta, a spokeswoman for Grant Thornton LLP, the U.S. member firm of Grant Thornton International, said today in an e-mailed statement. "Grant Thornton LLP was not involved in any wrongdoing with regard to the fraud at Parmalat -- as we did not issue any statements or audits with regard to Parmalat -- and will continue to vigorously defend against any claims or actions."
If Parmalat is permitted to pursue its claims against Grant Thornton in Illinois, it will have to overcome a similar defense under that state's law to win on the claims.
In a related ruling today, the appeals court upheld Kaplan's dismissal of a claim by Parmalat Capital against Charlotte, North Carolina-based Bank of America Corp. Parmalat Capital didn't raise any jurisdictional issues on the appeal of that case, the appeals court said.
North Carolina Law
Kaplan, applying North Carolina law, ruled in 2009 that Parmalat Capital couldn't recover damages from Bank of America over an alleged fraud in which Parmalat insiders participated. The appeals court agreed.
"It has been our view all along that Parmalat Capital Finance, a participant in the fraud, was not entitled to seek damages from Bank of America, which had no knowledge of the fraud and was damaged by it," Timothy Gilles, a Bank of America spokesman, said in a statement.
The case is In re Parmalat Securities Litigation, 04-cv-01653, U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York (Manhattan).

Ladyblogs Are Here to Stay
The Slant has a revelatory interview with Ms. Magazine founder (and Forward contributor) Letty Cottin Pogrebin on the fortieth anniversary of the magazine.
One of the biggest questions asked of Pogrebin was about Ms.'s role in shaping the coverage of other women's magazines, inspiring the glossies' inclusion of issue-oriented, reported features that stand out amongst the makeup and style pieces. Another question addressed? Whether Ms., which began as an offshoot of New York magazine, after all, has had an influence in today's online media culture. She says:
The Orthodox Response to Mindy Meyer?
My mother is an Orthodox woman who was raised by Orthodox parents and married an Orthodox rabbi. She has also earned, thus far in her career, a bachelor's degree and three postgraduate degrees. And while she has more degrees than the average Orthodox woman, she also has more degrees than the average American; as of this year, only 30% of American adults had at least a bachelor's degree.
Towards a More Democratic Feminism
In a just-posted Newsweek article, Jessica Bennett discusses her discovery of feminism at age 28. She writes that it wasn't until she entered the workforce that she realized that things weren't nearly as equal as she thought they would be:
So for all the talk about feminism as passé, mine wasn't a generation that rejected it for its militant, man-hating connotation—but because of its success. Women were equal—duh—so why did we need feminism? It's only recently that I, and women my age, have come to eat those words.
The Debate Over Chromosome-Centric Media
Are women's voices being ghettoized in the name of niche media? Ann Friedman, deputy editor of The American Prospect recently tackled this very query in light of Slate's spin-off, Double X, and its debut. It should be mentioned that a founding editor, Hannah Rosin, has been giving smart answers to readers' questions on the Bintel Brief — and the Forward has made its own foray into niche media with this, The Sisterhood blog.

Australia's harsh video game legislation has been under criticizing for years, but we're sure no one expected the first 18+ title to launch in the country to be a Wii U title. That's just what's happening with Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge, Team Ninja's second Ninja Gaiden title.
In June, laws were finally passed in Australia that allowed games targeted at players aged 15 and older. These laws moved into effect on January 1st, meaning Australians will finally be able to enjoy mature titles without censoring or being completely unavailable in the region at all.
