What is permafrost?
Permafrost is permanently frozen soil, sediment, or rock. Its classification is solely based on temperature, not moisture or ground cover. The ground must remain at or below 0°C for at least two years in order to be considered permafrost. Although new permafrost is forming, it can be over thousands of years old. For example, some of the permafrost in western Canada's boreal peatlands has been there since the Little Ice Age of the 1600's (Turetsky et al., 2007).
Permafrost has layers, of which frozen ground is just one portion (Figure 1). The active layer is ground that is seasonally frozen, typically lying above the perennially frozen permafrost layer. Talik is unfrozen ground that lies below the permafrost and between the active layer and permafrost.
Where is permafrost found?
Most frequently, permafrost is found in high latitudes near the north and south poles. However, it can also be found at high altitudes in other locations around the world. Roughly 37% of the Northern Hemisphere permafrost occurs in western North America, mainly in Alaska and northern Canada, but also further south in the Rocky Mountains. The majority of permafrost in the Northern Hemisphere occurs in the Eastern Hemisphere, in Siberia and the Far East of Russia, as well as northern Mongolia, northeastern China and the Tibetan Qinghai-Xizang Plateau (Zhang et al., 1999).
In the Southern Hemisphere, permafrost is found in Antarctica, the Antarctic islands, and the Andes Mountains. In areas where the conditions are such that the ground is cold enough year-round, continuous permafrost forms. Discontinuous and sporadic permafrost occurs in locations where temperatures only get cold enough in certain areas, such as in the shade, or on the northern side of a hill or mountain. Seasonal permafrost occurs during colder seasons and thaws or disappears during warmer times of the year.
The Effect of Climate Change on Permafrost
Climate change will significantly affect the complex interactions between above- and below-ground climate regimes. However, even changes in temperature at the surface take time to impact permafrost at depth; According to the Geological Survey of Canada (GSC), "for thick permafrost this lag may be on the order of hundreds to thousands of years, for thin permafrost, years to decades" (GSC, 2007).
In a recent study using freezing/thawing index, trend analysis of spatial data since 1970 indicates that in recent decades, there has been a decrease in freezing during the cold season throughout North America's permafrost regions. Additionally, coastal areas and eastern Canada have started to see "significant" increases in warm season thawing of permafrost (Frauenfeld et al., 2007). Overall, this means there has been a decrease in freeze depths and in the amount of permanent permafrost. Conversely, there has been an increase in seasonal permafrost. This increase in seasonal permafrost is not due to increases in acres frozen, but to the decrease in permanent permafrost which is not remaining frozen all year anymore. Since it is no longer perennially frozen, it loses its distinction as 'permanent' and becomes 'seasonal'.
Decreasing freeze depths have also been recorded in a separate study of deep boreholes in mountain permafrost in Svalbard and Scandinavia. Results from the study show that the permafrost has "warmed considerably" at the study sites and that "significant warming is detectable down to at least 60m depth, and present decadal warming rates at the permafrost surface are on the order of 0.04°.0.07°C [per year], with greatest warming in Svalbard and in northern Scandinavia. The present regional trend shows accelerated warming during the last decade" (Isaksen et al., 2007).
Although many studies, programs, and research, including the Global Terrestrial Network for Permafrost (GTNP), indicate a warming trend throughout the permafrost zone, some have found no significant changes have occurred in permanent Russian permafrost regions. According to the authors of the study mentioned earlier, spatial trend analysis shows that while permanent permafrost areas in Russia have remained largely within the same freezing regime, seasonally frozen ground areas are experiencing "significant warming trends" (Frauenfeld et al., 2007).
All of these changes in permafrost areas are attributed to increases in air temperature and changes in snow cover, specifically in Canada and Alaska. This echoes the conclusions of numerous other reports, such as those from the Geological Survey of Canada and the Arctic Climate Impact Assessment, which attribute the northern polar region's permafrost thaw to dramatic warming over the past half-century. In regions of discontinuous and seasonal permafrost, ground temperatures are generally right around freezing. With even 1-2 degrees increase in temperature, these areas of permafrost will "likely ultimately disappear as a result of ground thermal changes associated with global climate warming" (GSC, 2007). Based on trends and forecasts predicted by climate models, however, we could be facing a much steeper increase in air temperature, leading to more significant effects on permafrost regions across the globe. As Charles Harris, one of the authors of the Svalbard study, a geologist at the University of Cardiff, UK, and a coordinator of Permafrost and Climate in Europe (PACE), said in a 2004 interview, "Boreholes in Svalbard, Norway, for example, indicate that ground temperatures rose 0.4°C over the past decade, four times faster than they did in the previous century. What took a century to be achieved in the 20th Century will be achieved in 25 years in the 21st Century, if this trend continues" (Bently, 2004).
Additionally, thawing and warming permafrost areas do not seem to be reversing the trend from year to year. Instead, they keep warming. Researchers of Canada's peatland permafrost regions mentioned "The permafrost underlying Canada's peatlands show no sign of regeneration" (Turetsky et al., 2007). According to the IPCC, by the mid-21st century, the area of permafrost in the northern hemisphere is expected to decline by around 20 per cent to 35 per cent. The depth of thawing is likely to increase by 30 percent to half its current depth by 2080 (UNEP, 2007). The end result could look something like the scenario depicted in the figure "Map of Permafrost in the Future".
Impacts of Melting Permafrost: Physical and Ecological
Thawing permafrost has significant effects on surface and subsurface regimes, including those governing hydrology and energy and moisture balance. Ecosystem diversity, composition, and productivity are not only impacted by increasing air temperatures, but by the associated effects of increasing ground temperatures as well. Because of this, thawing permafrost has significant impacts on infrastructure and ecosystems. Where ground ice contents are comparatively high, permafrost degradation can have significant impacts, some of which may take not be as readily apparent as others.
Structural Importance
The Geological Survey of Canada states "Of greatest concern are soils with the potential for instability upon thaw (thaw settlement, creep or slope failure). Such instabilities may have implications for the landscape, ecosystems, and infrastructure" (GSC, 2007). Erosion, landslides, and subsidence can all result from permafrost degradation.
Erosion is especially evident and worrisome in coastal areas, may of which are also being ravaged by winter storm surge as the protective barrier of sea ice appears later and later (if at all) during the year. Intact permafrost is extremely resilient. However, when it becomes compromised, it and the ground above and below it become much more vulnerable to the erosive forces of wind and water. On our Sea Ice page, you can see a picture of a house in Shismaref, Alaska that has had its foundation washed away by storm surge. These pictures to the right in Figure 4 were also taken in Shishmaref, Alaska, during a storm in 2003.
In some areas, erosion has been so much enhanced by exposed and degraded permafrost, the inhabitants might have to be evacuated. Costs to relocate are hefty . for towns such as Kivalina, Alaska, they have been estimated at upwards of $400 million. Due to the heavy toll climate change is taking on Kivalina, the town recently sued two dozen oil, power, and coal companies for their contributions to global warming (CNN, 2008).
As permafrost thaws, the friction needed between the frozen and thawing permafrost regions to maintain stability disappears. On ice, you don't need a very sloped surface before you start to slip and slide . and that's exactly what happens with the permafrost and overlying land, resulting in landslides. This happened in July of 1988 on the Fosheim Peninsula of Canada's Ellesmere Island after a few years of increasingly warmer temperatures during the summers. Hundreds of landslides, some of which were the size of over three football fields, carried tons of soil into a number of creek valleys.
According to the Permafrost and Climate in Europe (PACE) project, thawing permafrost is likely to have similar effects on the slopes of Europe's Alps and Pyrenees as global temperatures continue to rise. Landslides, such as the Val Pola landslide of July 1987 in the Italian Alps are predicted to become more common as the permafrost underlying the slopes of Europe's mountains degrades due to rising ground temperatures.
Ground subsidence can occur when permafrost thaws and the soil previously held up by the ice collapses. The resulting landscape is characterized by irregular surfaces of marshy hollows and small hummocks called thermokarst. Visitors and residents all over permafrost regions have been struck by the effects of this phenomenon when they see a wooded landscape affected by subsidence from permafrost thaw. They call these areas "drunken forests" because of the way that the trees lean, as shown in Figure 5.
However, subsidence can have other effects on vegetation. A group of scientists studying the effect of permafrost thawing on vegetation in Alaska noted, "This effect of warming acts on vegetation indirectly by creating localized variability in moisture conditions as lower karst areas accumulate moisture and may have the water table near the soil surface, while nearby higher areas become drier" (Schuur et al., 2007). In some of these areas, these changing conditions allow new plant species to grow. In other pockets, water collects and they become thermokarst lakes or ponds. Once the underlying permafrost has thawed completely away, however, this water sinks back in to the empty space and disappears. According to a 2005 article in Science, this is what has been happening in Western Siberia, where thawing permafrost is the likely cause behind of the disappearance of Siberian Arctic lakes during the past three decades over an area of 500,000 square km (see Figure 6).
In addition to its ecological effects, subsidence caused by thawing can significantly compromise infrastructure built on top of permafrost. Many permafrost areas are permanently inhabited by humans, and as such have roads, buildings, and other structures built on it. In places where these structures were not designed to withstand changes in permafrost, subsidence has created sinkholes that swallow up houses and small buildings, and has also caused foundations to shift and drop and roads and railroads to crack and heave (such as the building and railroad in Figure 7 at right). In some permafrost areas, engineers are coming up with new ways to build on permafrost such that the ground is insulated from the heat created by whatever is on the ground above it. Additionally, these new engineering techniques are making it possible for the infrastructure built upon it to weather changes in permafrost a little bit better. The world's longest high-elevation railroad, the Qinghai-Tibet Railway or "Permafrost Express", in China and the 800-mile long Trans Alaska Pipeline in Alaska both involved engineering and design techniques sensitive to the permafrost environment in which they were constructed.
The changes brought about by thawing permafrost will also have significant impacts on the ecosystems of the Arctic. In addition to impacting migration routes and patterns in birds, reindeer, and caribou, it is expected that the effects of thawing permafrost will change the plant species composition of the area, as well as its productivity.
Changes in plant species composition
Increasing temperatures are expected to have significant impacts on the species composition world wide. This is also true of permafrost areas in northern latitude ecosystems, where plant species composition and productivity will change as increasing temperatures will allow new, warmer-climate species to grow. Tundra is usually characterized by sedges and grasses. However, with warming temperatures, these typical tundra species are being overtaken by evergreen shrubs and trees. The IPCC projects that by 2100, between 10 and 50% of the Arctic tundra could be replaced by forests (UNEP, 2007).
Warming can affect plants directly, through its influences over plant growth, and indirectly, through changes in nutrient availability. In permafrost areas, where increasing temperatures and subsequent thawing causes the development of thermokarst, warming can drastically change the hydrologic profile of an ecosystem. Researchers working at permafrost sites across Alaska and at peatland sites overlaying permafrost across boreal regions in Canada found changes in community composition, biomass, and productivity as a result of warmer air and soil temperatures as well as associated changes in the hydrologic structure of the soil (Schuur et al., 2007; Turetsky et al., 2007). Plant biomass shifted away from traditional species to plants associated with warmer, wetter biotypes. Additionally, plant productivity increased due to improved availability of nitrogen and other nutrients from altered hydrological patterns caused by thawing permafrost.
As a warming climate allows snow and ice to thaw, and tundra species are replaced with evergreens, albedo changes. Instead of reflecting sunlight, the landscape begins to absorb more heat than it did previously, further increasing the warming and thawing trends in the area.
Not all ecosystems in permafrost regions will respond the same way. Turetsky herself cautioned in an interview earlier this year, "It will depend on the history of the permafrost and the nature of both vegetation and soils" (Physorg.com, 2007). The quantity, distribution, and composition of the organic matter in permafrost areas are important in determining their effect on emissions. Some permafrost, such as yedoma permafrost found mostly in northern and eastern Siberia as well as in smaller amounts in Canada and Alaska, have more concentrated carbon and methane stores than others.
Additionally, records and data for many regions are incomplete or of short-term duration, with the exception of Russia's long-term permafrost monitoring. There has been a push to extend current monitoring programs and enlarge their scope. Programs such as the Global Terrestrial Network for Permafrost (GTNP) are working to organize data collection so that there is a global network for detecting and monitoring changes in permafrost regions, and predicting climate change's impact on these affected areas. Advances in spatial analysis have contributed greatly, as evidenced by the research conducted for the 2005 article on Siberian lake methane emissions. You can even monitor permafrost thaw with Google Earth!

The Brooklyn explosion of the last 10 years is real. The question is: Why did it happen? And then another question, for people in other cities, is: How can we do that here?
An extensive new report called Downtown Rising from the NYU Rudin Center, Appleseed and the Downtown Brooklyn Partnership offers some answers. One is to have an economic boom happen across the river from you. Another is to loosen up your zoning regulations. And another is to have the city pour over a billion dollars into infrastructure, parks and subsidies. It may not be the most replicable of solutions but it worked.
A few numbers:
- Since 2004 the Downtown Brooklyn area alone (where most of the report focused) has added or is in the works for nearly 41 million square feet of residential, commercial and institutional space.
- More than $10 billion dollars of private investment have been attracted to the area
- The population of the Greater Downtown Brooklyn area grew by 17 percent between 2000 and 2013 and the population of millennials (18-44) rose by 29 percent. The percentage of all residents of the area having at least a four-year college degree rose from 35 to 55 percent.
- Between 1990 and 2014 serious crime in the 84th precinct went down 84 percent. In 1990 there were 1,908 robberies. In 2014, 142.
- Median monthly rent in Fort Greene and Brooklyn Heights increased from $726 in 2000 to $1,498 in 2014.
The report keyed in on a couple key things that happened along the way to help spur these changes.
In the 1980s, "a number of local institutions, organizations, and developers undertook efforts to revitalize the greater Downtown Brooklyn area," which included the idea of building the MetroTech Center, which to this day is, if not the soul, then the heart of the commercial activity in Brooklyn.
MetroTech was eventually built, and housed primarily back-office operations for many Manhattan firms and municipal departments. Only recently have private companies began putting the "tech" in "MetroTech."
In 2004 the Bloomberg administration adopted the Downtown Brooklyn Development Plan and rezoned the heck out of the area, making it much easier for developers to build. To wit, last month plans were announced for a 73-floor tower that would be the tallest in Brooklyn.
Big money from the Bloomberg administration played a role too. The report estimates that since 2004, the city has invested $1.5 billion in, "public infrastructure, open space, cultural facilities, and industrial and commercial development projects."
Another aspect was simply how well Manhattan did. Office space in midtown Manhattan went through the roof in the past decade, and for companies, especially smaller ones more sensitive to cost, Brooklyn became a more economical option.
"Between the first quarter of 2004 and the third quarter of 2015, the office vacancy rate in Midtown South (defined for purposes of this analysis as the area between 34th Street and Houston Street) fell from 8.6 to 6.4 percent, while office rents more than doubled. By comparison, during the same period, average rents were lower in the Special Downtown Brooklyn District," according to the report.
And for the startups that make up the tech scene, incubators and coworking spaces have expanded hugely.
"We estimate that as of the summer of 2015, there were 56 locations in western Brooklyn at which space for startups and small ventures was being offered, under construction, or planned," the report says. "We estimate that to date nearly 1 million square feet of such space has been completed (most of it during the past ten years), and about 400,000 square feet is under construction or planned."
The full report is 80 pages but it's well worth checking out.Read the full report

David here... I want to make sure you don't miss these two radio shows I just did, as both of them turned out exceptionally well!
It's starting to sound too cliche' to say that I had a great radio show, because honestly they have ALL been great! I have been encouraged by your many, many letters and it has inspired me to become even more focused and dedicated in what I do.
I have now successfully cleared the time -- requiring outrageous personal effort -- to focus in on our latest CONVERGENCE rewrite, which will dramatically improve the overall vision and story, with a focal point of mid-April for completion.
This is coinciding nicely with potential opportunities that are rising into view to complete the financing of the film, and if the synchronicity that has blessed our project up until now holds, everything will "click" at just the right time.
Once we have The Script -- meaning a finished draft that finally passes the muster of multiple 'readers' while also conveying the science to the best of our ability -- it will be a lot easier to secure the budget. I know we are getting very close now.
I will continue to update this site in the meantime as I am able to -- including a full transcript of 2012 Enigma for those who don't have broadband, thanks to our excellent transcription team -- but I have made a conscious decision to pull back on email responses, since it literally can take all my available time just to try to give two-sentence replies to the ones that jump out.
Since many of you write me, I do want to keep the lines of communication open and let you know what my situation is so we don't have any misunderstandings.
Bear in mind that I am not exaggerating when I say that I'm now getting an average of 120 emails a day, and this does not include spam. This all has happened since the latest conferences and the 2012 Enigma video, so I'm definitely adjusting to the change. Even with some advanced routing tricks, emails are getting buried if I don't take action on them within half a day.
Some people would call this a "happy problem," because it means our exposure is growing, but on my personal level, feeling genuine appreciation and love for you, it's hard not to see it as a crisis. If you read this site for a while, you know me as well as any other close friend in your life, and that definitely enhances the sense that we should have a private connection. I get it... and I do appreciate your positive vibes.
Everyone wants to engage more deeply -- why not lobby to ask questions, call on the phone, or meet up in person? Why not push for me to read this book, see this video, visit this website, attend this conference, et cetera? There are multiple emails per day asking for these things, and have been for some time.
Long ago I set a blanket policy. I never call on the phone. I never meet privately. No secret exceptions are being made -- everyone is treated equally and fairly. I can't be bought out of this policy either. That's how I deal with it as an honorable man.
Now I've realized things have shifted to the point where I cannot reliably answer email either... if I want to get anything else done. It's a question of how to best balance my time to help the greatest numbers of people.
For now the best way to really feel involved is to attend a public event, as the sense of community is much more palpable. You will see me there in close proximity, may get to shake my hand and say a few words, and will definitely meet many amazing people, hear me speak live and be part of that group energy.
If you come to the Mexican Riviera cruise, you're far more likely to have a personal experience than my other public appearances since the numbers will be smaller and we have an extended block of time together.
So far, I have managed to have private conversations with every person on every cruise. One or two people complained that they wanted more of my time than they got, and this is unavoidable -- we are not guaranteeing any private meetings -- but almost everyone comes away very satisfied.
By all means send an email if you feel moved to. I always read the first 2-3 paragraphs. Long emails going into detailed personal issues and experiences are usually not read through, as again it's just overload -- but contrary to the sentiments of many people writing in lately, your letters are NOT being filtered -- yet -- by some other staff person. I do see them all. This may change in the future and I will announce it when it does.
I do want to remind you that our discussion forum has turned into quite the amazing place. Though I might not have time to read more than the first paragraphs of your letter, you can write the same thing into the forum and potentially get multiple answers to your questions and / or share your experiences with others.
We do not allow for advertising on the forum, and we also discourage fear-oriented political material about the Illuminati and so forth, unless there is a clear understanding of the "big picture" in which this is all part of a sacred healing process the Earth is moving through at this time. Other than the obvious, these are the two most frequent areas people stumble over in trying to post.
I know that many forums are crowded with hecklers and poorly-written chicken-scratch posts that may reek of schizophrenia, but we've built a true online oasis by having a team of multiple moderators who ensure that the typical attacks that destroy forums do not happen here. The quality, in turn, draws out very good material from the participants.
I have said it before, and will say it again: I am very impressed, and deeply honored, by the quality and the consistency of your posts. It's a truly safe place where you can speak your mind and not worry about being shamed, ridiculed or attacked. If someone were to try to hurt you or insult you, they'd never make it through, but our moderation load is surprisingly light -- everyone 'gets it' and we have a harmonious community.
I obviously do not have the time to add content to Divine Cosmos on a daily basis, but if you start following the forum, you will find that there is more than enough new material to keep you entertained and engaged each and every day. This can be a valuable part of your daily routine, keeping the vibes high and your focus positive.
I will never attempt to profit off of our forum by making it monthly-subscription-based, even though that would strongly help pay the bills. It's your content, your hangout, your gathering, and you decide what, how, and when it all happens.
Your product orders are what stabilize this ship enough that we can continue sailing into the uncharted realms without capsizing, and our satisfaction rate approaches 100 percent!
The first show you can check out was done with Margaret Wendt on March 13, 2008 at 5PM PT. It was posted as of about 7PM that night. Unfortunately there is no direct download link, and our show is contained within a list of many others available as streaming audio.
You can log in and create a free account to listen at http://www.margaretwendt.com. Once you've created your own account, look under "Other Radio Shows" and you'll see my name in the list.
Margaret has a strong background in the Cayce material, and that includes being acquainted with his son Hugh Lynn, who ran the A.R.E. for many years, and Jess Stearn, who wrote some of the most important Cayce books ever.
We did have a bit of an argument at the beginning... she was pushing for me to really stake my claim as Cayce's reincarnation and I was dodging and weaving, growing increasingly frustrated with these attempts to call me out on the carpet.
Then her computer literally died, 20 minutes in, and we had to start over. She said this had never happened before in all the shows she's ever done, and it definitely surprised her! It was a blessing in disguise, as by the time we restarted we were all fired up and harmonizing with each other on an intellectual and spiritual level. That's the point at which this interview begins.
Margaret has said she would like me to appear as a regular guest on her program, and I liked her interviewing style, so I have tentatively accepted her offer. She can keep up with the furious pace that my mind races at once my pineal gland is fully up and running, and that makes for a very lively discussion.
We also may launch a television project together. This is in the very early stages at this point. We have a series of connections and people who are on the periphery, know of us but have not yet made their direct approach. I'd rather get to choose who we do this with, as opposed to having to sort through various offers that may have catches and problems in each case.
It will probably be a special rather than a series, as right now a series could easily consume all my available time and energy -- and a film is still the single best way to reach the largest potential audience. I do feel we need to get this material out to everyone who wants to hear it.
I was originally scheduled to appear on Tom Murasso's radio show, Myth or Logic Radio, on Thursday, March 20th. I had very much enjoyed my first appearance on his program, and your comments indicated that it has become a major favorite on everyone's list.
Remember how Margaret's computer was attacked and caused us to lose the first 20 minutes of our interview? Well, guess what... the same exact thing happened on Tom's program. In this case, the entire TalkShoe server -- running ALL the various shows -- experienced a complete system collapse just MINUTES before we were scheduled to go on.
I waited for some 15 minutes in the hopes that Tom would call back with good news, saying we could proceed, but this was no easy problem to solve. Their server literally died and had to be resurrected.
Again, isn't it a little bizarre that BOTH of these shows had massive computer attacks? Negative greeting is no joke!
We rescheduled our show to Monday, March 24th at 5PM PT. Quite honestly I have been so preoccupied with everything going on as I dig into the script rewrite process that I totally forgot about the show.
However, it was perfect timing, as I'd just been moving bulky items around the house and was aimlessly poring through my daily diet of websites, trying to stay informed on current events, but not really finding much of interest.
Suddenly the phone rang and it's Tom asking me if I was having "trouble logging in," and I laughed. He realized that I had forgotten and I admitted it. Nonetheless, I am ALWAYS ready to have a discussion about this material, and it ended up being a great show!
Normally Tom only does one hour, but this show ran for a solid two. I covered new material that I have not yet aired publicly before, including my take on the current Presidential election drama going on here in the US. I do feel there are valuable connections that can be made to the overall 2012 phenomena, and thus far very few people seem to be talking about it.

Your voice is beautiful, and it made me get completely wrapped up in the story. You are helping so many people. Thank you.

Jenny Appach & Kayla Lyon – Swimming Pool
Released: September 13, 2013
Czech director Andrej Lupin employs a simple recipe for his latest creation: Take two fresh, beautiful young girls, add water, and heat until steaming. And the stars of "Swimming Pool" are both exceptionally fresh — this is only blonde Kayla Lyon's second appearance in a SexArt production, and her costar, Jenny Appach, is making her debut here. After a brief bit of swimming Kayla takes a seat on the edge of the pool and Jenny dives right in, sending her tongue slithering through the moist folds of her lover's female flower. But it's when Appach replaces her tongue with her fingers that she brings Kayla to the strongest of several successive climaxes. Then, with smiles on their pretty faces, the girls trade places and Lyon licks and frigs Appach to several obviously enjoyable orgasms. Lupin keeps the camera moving — it gets in close for delicious details, pulls back to capture the appealing atmosphere of the setting, and dives beneath the water's surface for pleasing submarine views of water nymphs at play. Don't hesitate, take the plunge: "Swimming Pool" provides particularly pleasing aquatic erotica.

Have you ever asked a client, "Why do you hold this meeting?" If so, the answer might have been, "Oh, you know...We do it every year!" I've always been fascinated by how organizations spend a huge amount of time and money to define their strategy, but fail to see how that strategy ties into meetings and events. Following are 10 questions to ask key stakeholders before beginning the process of arranging a meeting.1. What are the main objectives of the organization for the next three years? If you don't have a direct connection with the high-level executives who can best answer this question, do some Internet research and see what you can find out online. 2. What are the key strategic imperatives for the next 12 months?If you have the opportunity to ask this question of all the top executives individually, you might find that they are not aligned themselves!3. What are the top challenges the organization is facing externally?How might these issues impact the year moving forward? Is there anything that should be integrated into the design and the content of your event that might help resolve these challenges?4. What are the main internal challenges?How could these factors impact on the content or atmosphere of your event? Don't expect people to dance in the evening if you announce a re-org in the afternoon.5. What are the expected outcomes of this event?Why is your organization investing resources in the event? How will it help your organization to execute on its strategy? Would it change anything if it didn't take place? What do you expect to achieve?6. How will we measure the expected outcomes?If you don't measure, you don't exist! This doesn't mean you should run a full ROI study every time, but at least define, from the beginning, how you're going to measure and report the expected outcomes.7. What is the main message you want to convey during this event?If there is one thing attendees should remember, what will it be?8. What will be the follow-up?How many times have you been to an amazing meeting with great sessions and phenomenal entertainment and then, on Monday morning back to the office, it's like nothing had ever happened? How can you extend the benefits of the meeting further in time?9. What is the profile of the attendees?The true value of an organization is the sum of its motivated talents. Who are your attendees? What makes them click? What are the emotional insights you could gather?10. What is the budget?You should have a clear understanding of what can be spent to achieve the meeting's objectives. Now is the time to have a frank discussion with meeting owners if the budget is not sufficient to achieve the expected outcomes.

Tyrus Thomas was not available monday - he's available today - if Silas is a good coach - he'll get heavy minutes against the sixers 'bigs' - and score
Can he really do more damage than Kwame and Diaw did on Monday?
He can do more damage than Kwame did - yes - much more athletic a big man - and diaw can probably do the same - those freakish arms - can anyone on the sixers stop him?
I'll be shocked if he does better than 15/16 or a triple double. I'm not saying he's better than Kwame or Diaw, just that those guys did a ton of damage in the last game. I doubt their front court could really do more tonight.
ON the offensive end he could get 20 easy if Silas played him, but while he plays him more - silas seems to be following the brown playbook and limiting him - i have no idea why
He doesn't shoot the 3.
Well on an off-topic note, some Eric Gordon factoids:
here is a list of players who have posted seasons with a TS% above 58, a usage rate above 25% and an assist percentage above 20 in the past three years.
* Manu Ginobili (all three years)
* LeBron James (twice)
* Chris Paul (once)
* Deron Williams (once)
* Eric Gordon (this year)
That's it. Kevin Durant, arguably the best "pure scorer" in basketball, hasn't ever pulled it off. Kobe Bryant only did it once, and that was back in 2006/07. Dwyane Wade, arguably the best or second-best scoring guard of this era (along with Kobe), also hasn't ever done it...
Still not convinced? Here's another stat for you. This season, Gordon has been incredibly consistent with his scoring output. He's played in 39 games this season, and has scored at least 20 points in 82 percent of those games this season... [goes on to say that barely any non-Kobe/LeBron players are that consistent].
What exactly are you trying to convince people of that ERic Gordon has done in half a season compared to what other people did in a full season?
Yep, he's unstoppable against everyone but the Sixers.
who are you arguing with, by the way?
since we're talking about the Clippers on here again...
I think Sportscenter moving to LA is the best thing that ever happened to LAC...They've been getting a ton of coverage, I know Blake Griffin is the next big "it" player, but I doubt it'd be at the magnitude it's at right now if SC was still solely in Connecticut
It would be at this magnitude very much so - Griffin is the newest 'human highlight reel'
The clippers are playing better which helps too - for instance - i think the lakers/clippers game should have been on ABC on Sunday - they need to stop being afraid of the NFL playoffs - especially since it's the LA market and they're team less :)
There were some real positives last night- particularly Jrue and Iguodala offensively in the 4th quarter. Also last night was the first game I can think of where Jrue, Turner and Iguodala all had strong offensive games (albeit not all 3 on the floor together at the same time.)
So hopefully something to build on.
On the negative ledger- I hope that Battie's crafty showing last night does not lead to Speights return to mop up duty.
On the negative ledger- I hope that Battie's crafty showing last night does not lead to Speights return to mop up duty.
I think Batties return, period, sends Speights back to mop up duty - Battie was recovering from an issue right?
Just thinking about Thorn's limited options...
What type of team could they become if the kept Brand and Iguodala but traded away the remainder of the roster (Jrue, Turner, Lou, Thad, Kapono, etc) for vets with contracts of 3 years or less. Bringing back players like Rip, Camby, Nene or Kaman in exchange for youth.
Think of it as a poor man's Celtics strategy. And then in 3 years you flip you old expirings for youth and picks.
Overall, probably a stupid idea... but I'm curious how good of a team they could build quickly. Especially with Brand finally playing well this year.
For reference, they have:
13.5M in expirings
7M is RFA and team option(Thad and Hawes and Meeks)
10M in rookie scale players (Jrue, Speights, Brackins, Turner)
12.5M in multi-year vets (Lou and Noce)
So about 43M to move to spend on vets to win now alongside Brand and Iguodala.
That adds only about 21M. That leaves another 22M to fill out a strong roster.
Maybe add in Kaman and Hinrich for about 20M
So that would be a cap neutral move. How much success could Collins get from that roster fro a 2-3 year run before starting from scratch? I actually like that team (Although I'd keep Jrue over jameer if possible.)
So let me see if I can make the deals. I'll keep Jrue and leave out Jameer:
JJ Reddick for Young and Songalia
Kaman for Turner and Kapono
Hinrich for Brackins, Speights, Meeks and Lou
Camby + Oberto for Battie, Hawes, Nocioni and an unrestricted #1 this year
So that leaves:
Bench rotation:
Camby (to keep him healthy)
JJ Reddick
They would have to come up with some minimum filler.
Put down the crack pipe boss
I'll spare you the Imma Boss" retort.
And aside from maybe Turner- would you even miss any of those other guys?
I more want to get a sense for what type of vet team could be built around Brand and Iguodala (and keeping Jrue.) Not so much the individual deals I proposed- that was more to get a sense of whether the assets are there to get it done.
I'd miss Speights a little cause I still kind of hold out hope that he'll get his shiz together - but very little hope.
But you know me - if they keep jrue and turner and blow it all up - i'd be in favor of it :)
You down with O.P.P.
By the way- not trying to be offensive (just realized what I wrote really is "Naughty by Nature.") Just quoting a sad bit of pop culture.
Don't front dude - I loved me some Naughty By Nature
I had roommates my freshman year in college that would either play 'minimum wage' by they might be giants, or straight out of compton, very loud every morning
Yeah, I rememeber playing some hilarious NWA too loud.
Was just listening to an interview of Dan Charnas, author of "The Big Payback, the History of Hip Hop" yesterday on Sound Opinions. You should check out the pod cast. Really interesting stuff going way back and up to the present: http://www.soundopinions.org/
Talks alot about Russel Simmons (and his brother Run), Rubin and comparing into to what happened with the West Cost. Mostly about the business and how the business side of things over the years. And how initially Disco labels messed up Rap and then the Major labels screwed things up in the 90's.
Again, I'm not saying the Sixers should make these moves. Just trying to see what the team could do if they moved their youth and exprings for vest that are on the market.
Assuming decent health and maybe even decent cheap filler in those trades- is that a team that can get into the second round under Collins in the next 2 years?
All of those guys come of the books in 2-3 years. So you would be left with Jrue in his prime, a ton of expirngs and a clean slate. maybe you could use that to make a run for Howard + another 2-3 high profile role player?
I think for sure at least one of those deals (Magic) wouldn't get done - Redick is valuable to them - not a spare part - and they are all about winning now and their key misisng piece is back up center
OK, forget Reddick and go after Rip Hamilton.
Redick is also a BYC so a straight up deal for him is impossible (I tried :)
You know my thinking - of course i'd try to keep jrue at leat - but that's where my thinking about taking on rip came from
But it's all contingent on comcast accepting luxury tax payments isn't it?
I think if it made a 2nd round playoff team they would consider it. It would make their brand much more viable and be only a short term investment to get the fans back.
Do you really think they could bring in better pieces than what they already have? I seriousl doubt it.
Actually yes. I think 30 year old vets can execute better than guys like Young, Lou etc. Also, you can always get good value when trading away young guys on rookie deals + expirings for vets on bad teams with mult contract years.
I don't think you can assemble a contender. But I do think the right blend of vets could get an overachieving squad that approaches 50 wins. Something like a better version of what LB pulled off with the Bobcats last year. Maybe good enough the get you into the second round if you can draw a 4-5 match-up.
While the current youth dominated roster will tend toward losing more than they should because of youthful inconsistency and mistakes.
So a team that on any given night might be run off the floor by the current athletic Sixers. But who are built to grind out a 7 game playoff series.
Do you really think they could bring in better pieces than what they already have? I seriousl doubt it.
Of course you could - you bring in better talent with bad contracts
Rip Hamilton for Kapono and Nocioni - Rip Hamilton is more talent than Kapono and NOcioni combined - he just has a bad contract
Kaman is unwanted in clipper land - if you trade him for shorter deals - you can get him too
THey aren't untalented - they just don't have great deals and or are unwanted on their teams - if comcast committed to paying the luxury tax to assmeble the 'best talent they could' until iguodalas contract expired - they could get it - they might not be good enough to win a title but they'd be good enough to get the 5 seed in the east probably and at least be competetive in the first round
That's a better starting five talent wise than what the sixers have right now - just crappy ass contracts

DAYTON, Ohio-During a commencement ceremony for the Wright State University Boonshoft School of Medicine class of 2009, graduates will take a moment to recognize an exceptional faculty member for his outstanding contributions to their education.
W. Scott Richardson, M.D., will be presented with the annual Teaching Excellence Award by class representative Alyssa J.
