Energy News Roundup: Experts to Congress on US LNG Exports, Non-Opec Oil Output Booming and EPA Sued Over Misreported Pollution Claims
By Jared Anderson
The American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers filed comments opposing the US Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) proposed rule Regulation of Fuels and Fuel Additives: 2013 Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS).
"I have long asserted that the RFS is broken and is harmful to countless parties, but nothing has been done to address the problems it has created," said AFPM President Charles T. Drevna in a statement. Keep reading →
If any sector would seem unlikely to be singled out for its robust dealmaking outlook, renewable energy might seem to be it. After a surge in investment and in installations over the past decade, renewable energy seemed to run out of road in 2012, undermined by extreme competition, low natural gas prices and limits on government assistance in a budget-constrained environment.
But 2012 proved to be a surprise for analysts of the renewable energy sector, analyst from consulting and accountancy firm Deloitte said in their most recent overview of the sector's merger and acquisition activity. Keep reading →

A group of Senate Democrats requested the Administration to reconsider EPA's proposed emissions regulations that would essentially ban construction of new coal-fueled power plants in the U.S.
Four Senate Democrats, led by Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.), wrote to President Obama seeking amendments of EPA's proposed New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for new power plants. The letter – released on March 18, 2013 – explains that implementation of the current draft would effectively ban construction of new coal-based power plants. Drawing attention to provisions that place new coal-fueled plants and natural gas-fueled plants in the same standard, the Senators called for different emissions standards based on fossil fuel type. Keep reading →
House Democrats have released draft carbon-pricing legislation, soliciting feedback on a potential per-ton fee for emissions, annual rate of fee increase, and revenue spending.
On March 12, 2013, House Democrats released a draft plan for carbon-pricing legislation that would impose a fee on greenhouse gas emissions from the nation's largest polluters, such as power plants, oil refineries, and factories. The measure, which has the potential to address both climate change and budget deficit, aims to establish a system that would minimize compliance burden for polluting entities and reduce administrative costs. It would build on EPA's existing program that requires major sources to report emissions. The Treasury Department would have the responsibility to collect carbon fees based on EPA emissions data.

The development cycles for projects using established technology are famously lengthy in the energy sector, while the length of time it takes for new technology to be developed and brought to commercial scale runs to decades, if not longer.
The advanced biofuels business, lent a generous mandate by US politicians against the background of fears over energy security and rising oil prices in the middle of the last decade, has managed to accelerate the development cycle to a degree that would have been unimaginable a decade ago, representatives for the industry said on a call with reporters recently.

Study Shows Alcohol Consumption Is a Leading Preventable Cause of Cancer Death in the U.S. |
New study finds that even low levels of alcohol consumption -- just 1.5 drinks per day -- is a major factor in cancer deaths, causing years of life lost to illness. A study team that includes a BU medical and public health researcher has shown that alcohol is a major contributor to cancer deaths and years of potential life lost. The findings, published online in the American Journal of Public Health, also show that reducing alcohol consumption is an important cancer-prevention strategy, as alcohol is a known carcinogen even when consumed in small quantities. "The relationship between alcohol and cancer is strong, but is not widely appreciated by the public and remains underemphasized even by physicians," said the paper's senior author, Dr. Timothy Naimi, associate professor of medicine and public health. "Alcohol is a big preventable cancer risk factor that has been hiding in plain sight." Previous studies have shown that alcohol consumption is a significant risk factor for cancers of the mouth, throat, esophagus and liver. More recent research has shown that alcohol also increases the risk of cancers of the colon, rectum and female breast. While estimates have shown that alcohol accounts for about four percent of all cancer-related deaths worldwide, there is a lack of literature focusing on cancer-related deaths in the U.S. Naimi and colleagues from the National Cancer Institute, the Alcohol Research Group, Public Health Institute and the Toronto-based Centre for Addiction and Mental Health examined recent data on alcohol consumption and cancer mortality. They found that alcohol resulted in approximately 20,000 cancer deaths annually, accounting for about 3.5 percent of all cancer deaths in the U.S. Breast cancer was the most common form of alcohol-attributable cancer deaths in women, accounting for approximately 6,000 deaths annually, or about 15 percent of all breast cancer deaths. Cancers of the mouth, throat and esophagus were common forms of alcohol-related cancer mortality in men, resulting in a total of about 6,000 annual deaths. The researchers also found that each alcohol-related cancer death accounted for an average of 18 years of potential life lost. In addition, although higher levels of alcohol consumption led to a higher cancer risk, average consumption of 1.5 drinks per day or less accounted for 30 percent of all alcohol-attributable cancer deaths.

Food for Thought: Healthy Eating
by Kim Lam and Finaira • April 17, 2012 • Essays • 2 Comments
One thing we've learned over the years is that hungry gamers are grumpy gamers. We've also learned that a good food experience makes for a better night than an utterly forgettable one.
Food for Thought is a series where we talk about food at the table.
Healthy Eating
So, Finaira and I are not nutritionists nor are we dietitians. Still, like many of you fine people, we've been inundated with the obsession with healthy eating, healthy foods, healthy diet, healthy healthy healthy. You can't address food at the gaming table without addressing that to some extent, so let's take a swing, shall we?
Kim: I've had about enough of your attitude, young lady!
Gee, I've got some opinions on this one. I'm going to try to keep this manageable.
When people talk about healthy eating, they often talk only talk about what to eat instead of how to eat. If "how" pops in, it's usually to talk about artificial behavior in order to restrict intake.
This is not cool and it's not healthy eating.
Let me show you an example of how to eat heathily:
This is a video of a lady named Michelle1 eating a Cadbury creme egg. She made the video expressly to show herself eating the Cadbury creme egg and she enjoys the experience. I imagine that she's savoring the sweetness and while I find Cadbury creme eggs too sweet to eat a whole one, I know the enjoyment that can come from indulging in one.
Normal eating is going to the table hungry and eating until you are satisfied. It is being able to choose food you like and eat it and truly get enough of it—not just stop eating because you think you should. Normal eating is being able to give some thought to your food selection so you get nutritious food, but not being so wary and restrictive that you miss out on enjoyable food. Normal eating is giving yourself permission to eat sometimes because you are happy, sad or bored, or just because it feels good. Normal eating is mostly three meals a day, or four or five, or it can be choosing to munch along the way. It is leaving some cookies on the plate because you know you can have some again tomorrow, or it is eating more now because they taste so wonderful. Normal eating is overeating at times, feeling stuffed and uncomfortable. And it can be undereating at times and wishing you had more. Normal eating is trusting your body to make up for your mistakes in eating. Normal eating takes up some of your time and attention, but keeps its place as only one important area of your life.
In short, normal eating is flexible. It varies in response to your hunger, your schedule, your proximity to food and your feelings.
Eating healthy should not be arduous. Eating healthy should be enjoyable. Eating healthy should have great food and great times and is made up of how you eat as much as what. And how should be eating normally.
So, to eat healthy at the gaming table? First, give yourself permission to eat.
Give yourself permission to have handful of chips covered in fake cheez. Give yourself permission to try out that veggie korma. Give yourself permission to indulge in a cookie when the dice roll nothing but failures. Give yourself permission to bring food that you know will make you feel good. Give yourself permission to haul out your family cake recipe and bask in the praise. Give yourself permission to order from that Chinese restaurant with the amazing fried rice filled with dubious ingredients that you don't really want to identify.
Give yourself permission to eat.
You deserve it.
Finaira: I'm pretty sure donuts count as healthy foods.
Healthy eating is tricky because what our bodies want, in a pure biological sense, is fats, sugars and salts. Because those are foods that our evolutionary ancestors needed to desperately get their hands on. So snack foods are almost exclusively fats, sugars and salts. That bag of chips? Made of salts, fats, and carbohydrates (sugar).
Now, first up, we need fats, sugars and salts in our diets. So you shouldn't be trying to cut them completely out because that's unhealthy. But nor should we be eating only those things. We need leafy things because we need other nutrients. We need variety because change is the spice of life. Also, spice is the spice of life, but that's another post.
The second part here is the important thing. What we don't need is preservatives, additives and excessive chemicals. Sure, most of them won't hurt you. But these things aren't exactly good for us. We never really developed to deal with a lot of these manufactured chemicals and we've we haven't really had time to adapt. There's still a limit though. A lot of these preservatives are fats, sugars and salts. And it's not like most companies have our best interests at heart.
Which is why, in my opinion, the healthiest food you can eat is food that you've prepared yourself. Want chips? Slice some potatoes up thinly, sprinkle with olive oil and salt (and flavouring, if desired), pop 'em in the oven and they'll crisp right up. Much better than a bag of doritos. Rather have a cake? Make it yourself! You'll find that home-made cakes, pies, brownies and the like often use less sugar and have a richer taste than store bought goods. Home made donuts are waaaay healthier than Tim Horton's. And they taste better for the effort you put in. Plus you can make little cat faces on them and have wars with your friends. Although this may result in a loss of respect. (And by "respect" she means undying glee ~ Kim)
And yes, it takes longer. It takes pre-planning and effort to make your own food. But the pay off is there is you have the patience. And it gets easier every time.
And the pay off is not eating things that you shouldn't be eating.
Words from the peanut gallery
What healthy foods do you like to indulge in? What are your thoughts on healthy food?
- Michelle runs The Fat Nutritionist. I strongly suggest that you take a look as there are some really great ideas there to help combat the shame that can come from eating. I mean, why in the world are we feeling ashamed when we eat? We have to eat to live so why are we feeling ashamed for keeping ourselves alive? ↩

Rice to discuss Libya with McCain, lawmakers this week-aides
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice will meet with lawmakers this week to discuss her controversial remarks about the September attacks in Benghazi, Libya, that have caused hurdles for her potential promotion to secretary of state.
An Obama administration official said Rice and Acting CIA Director Michael Morell would meet with officials on Capitol Hill this week but declined to give details about timing.
A Senate aide said that Rice would meet with Republican Senators John McCain, Lindsey Graham, and Kelly Ayotte.
All three senators have been critical of Rice for appearing on TV talks shows shortly after the attack on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi and saying that preliminary information suggested the assault was the result of protests over an anti-Muslim film rather than a premeditated attack.
Rice is considered a top contender to replace Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

I thought it would be better to start getting content out there, and maybe somebody can help clean the xml up.

ICC World Cup
Group B
India cruised to an 87-run victory over Bangladesh in the opening match of the World Cup in Mirpur on Saturday.
Virender Sehwag smashed his highest one-day score as his side sought revenge over Bangladesh for India's five-wicket defeat in the previous World Cup.
Sehwag hit an adventurous 175 off 140 balls while Virat Kohli's unbeaten century helped India reach their mammoth total of 370-4 in the marquee tournament.
Chasing the improbable target of nearly seven-and-a-half runs an over, Bangladesh responded with opener Tamim Iqbal leading the run-chase with an impressive 70, while captain Shakib Al Hasan posted a quick-fire half-century.
The valiant effort saw the Tigers claim 283-9 after 50 overs - their fourth highest total in a World Cup - but it was not enough to top tournament favourites India from laying down an impressive marker in their first Group B match.
Man-of-the-match Sehwag made Bangladesh skipper Shakib bitterly regret his decision to bowl first on a placid wicket as he blasted his way to a second World Cup century with 14 fours and five sixes.
Sehwag was forced to battle with injury though, and needed a runner after reaching three figures having hurt his left knee while trying to push Rubel Hossain for a single in the 38th over of India's innings.
He added 203 runs with Virat Kohli for the third wicket with the latter also completing a century in the final over. He finished on 100 not out off 83 balls in his World Cup debut.
Tamim's 70 and Shakib's 55 gave Bangladesh early hope of an improbable run-chase but after they departed, Bangladesh were unable to even approach the formidable and ever-increasing asking rate.
Pace bowler Munaf Patel gave India's depleted pace attack, which suffered another blow ahead of the game with Ashish Nehra missing out following reports of a back injury, a boost by claiming four wickets for 48 runs in the win.
Good attempt on getting 283 runs, that would win the game against the likes of West Indies, Ireland and Canada. Bangladesh will deffinately make it to the the next round.
Posted 12:52 20th February 2011
Indian team's perfomance showed why are they one of the contenders for the title..... They were thoroughly professional, ruthless and got their strategies for batting order and powerplay correct..... They have a lengthy brak of 8 days before facing England... which should be one of the group decider games.... Looking forward to it
Posted 11:03 20th February 2011
I was watching from London. Great fightback, but every time our batsmen tried to speed things up, they lost a wicket so they didn't have much luck. Looking forward to more of our games. If we bat like this, we can go through to the next round but our bowling needs to improve.
Posted 22:10 19th February 2011
I think I'm the only one who can say this: I WAS THERE!! Great atmosphere in Dhaka, and even though we conceded 370 runs, the fightback was pretty impressive, specially before the 1st wicket!

TIRNO-92-C-00014 Incurred Costs Audit Fiscal Year 1998
August 2001
Reference Number: 2001-1C-114
This report has cleared the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration disclosure review process and information determined to be restricted from public release has been redacted from this document.
August 3, 2001
FROM: Pamela J. Gardiner /s/ Pamela J. Gardiner
Deputy Inspector General for Audit
SUBJECT: TIRNO-92-C-00014: Incurred Costs Audit - Fiscal Year 1998
The Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA) audited the contractor's Systems Integration Group, Government Information Systems Division's June 30, 1999 certified final indirect cost rate proposal and related books and records for reimbursement of Fiscal Year (FY) 1998 incurred costs. The purpose of the audit was to determine allowability of direct costs and indirect cost rates and recommend procurement determined indirect cost rates for December 27, 1997 through January 1, 1999. The proposed rates apply primarily to flexibility-priced contracts.
The DCAA considered the contractor's FY 1998 accounting system adequate for accumulation, reporting, and billing costs on government contracts/subcontracts. However, DCAA qualified its opinion to the extent that subcontract costs claimed may be questioned as a result of the audits of subcontractor incurred cost submissions. In summary, DCAA made a General and Administrative (G&A) base adjustment for exclusion of the Non-Contract Support Authorization costs from the G&A Value Added Base.
The information in this report should not be used for purposes other than that intended without prior consultation with the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration regarding its applicability.
If you have any questions, please contact me at (202) 622-6510 or Maurice S. Moody, Assistant Inspector General for Audit (Headquarters Operations and Exempt Organizations Programs), at (202) 622-8500.
The Office of Inspector General for Tax Administration has no objection to the release of this report, at the discretion of the contracting officer, to duly authorized representatives of the contractor.
The contractor information contained in this report is proprietary information. The restrictions of 18 USC 1905 must be followed in releasing any information to the public.
This report may not be released without the approval of this office, except to an agency requesting the report for use in negotiating or administering a contract with the contractor.
The TIGTA seal was removed due to its size.

Gloucestershire judge slams Facebook for causing 'hassle'
A DISTRICT judge criticised Facebook after a jealous lover posed as a secret admirer on the social networking website to catch his partner out.
After 43-year-old Andrew Daniels posted a fake message on Facebook, he confronted Amanda Cullen and punched her in the face in a drunken rage, a court heard.
The terrified victim told police later that if a good Samaritan had not come to the rescue, she did not know what the defendant would have done.
It prompted the judge sitting on the case to reflect that the website was causing a huge amount of "hassle" in society.

Valid until: Friday, May 31 2013
Daniels, of Chaucer Close, Gloucester, pleaded guilty to assault on August 3, when he appeared before District Judge Joti Bopa-Rai at Cheltenham Magistrates' Court on Tuesday.
Prosecuting lawyer Derek Ryder said: "Amanda Cullen received a phone call from the defendant to say he wanted to see her.
"He was slurring his speech and was clearly drunk.
"He told her that he had been pretending to be someone else on Facebook and had caught her out.
"He then punched her in the face three times and she ran out into the street. He followed her, ripped her top off and pushed her in the back.
"At that point a member of the public came to her assistance.
"In a statement to the police, the victim said that the defendant was in a drunken rage and she really did not know what would have happened if the good Samaritan had not come to the rescue.
"She also said that she did not ever want to see the defendant again."
District Judge Bopa-Rai said: "Facebook is causing more hassle than anything else these days."
Probation officer Hilary Cowmeadow said: "They were in a good relationship for some 18 years but he became suspicious and posed as a fake admirer on Facebook to see if she was tempted.
"He has been unemployed for some time and has mental health issues."
Daniels was given an 18-month community order, ordered to pay £100 compensation to the victim and prosecution costs of £85.

Shake Weight Exercises For Bigger Abs
February 28, 2011 by Trainer
Filed under Exercises For A Six Pack
Comments Off
A guy from Wisconsin was asking whether shake weight exercises for abs actually worked. Well judging by the feedback he got they certainly do. The DVD that comes with the shake weight dumbell explains the 3 basic exercises in minute detail making it easy for anyone to do.
So it doesn't matter if you do the "behind the head" exercise or the double front hand or single hand side, you are going to strengthen the arms, shoulders back an abs. A word of advice here even though it is stated in the manual but with any abs exercise, always suck in your tummy and tighten those abs as you are exercising for quicker results.
He also says to ignore the fact that it is recommended to workout for only 6 minutes. He pumps it for 15 minutes and his biceps were still burning after 30 minutes of finishing the whole exercise routine. He states it isolates the muscles perfectly giving each distinct set of muscles a working over.
I guess being able to do the exercises in the privacy of your own home without looking like a real dick in front of other shake weight dumbell users is a plus and throw in the fact that the dumb bell is fairly light in weight (5 pounds) so while getting results, you will not burst open doing it.
If you are sitting on the fence deciding whether to buy the shake weight dumbell as part of your six pack abs routine I suggest you take the plunge now for low impact shake weight exercises for abs. The proof is in the pudding so to speak and with many men already giving it the thumbs up and by reading the shake weight reviews, your decision to part with around $30 is an easy choice to get the great abs you have always dreamed of

There are no "fixer-uppers" on Park Avenue. Anything not up to snuff is bought up or steamrolled.
Comfort can be found in a favorite pair of broken-in shoes or, a home-cooked meal. In the case of the Lugoff-Elgin volleyball team, it is the familiarity with your head coach and, the coach knowing her team. A year ago at this time, the Lady Demons were getting to know first-year head coach Jessica Mullins, whose first high school job found her coaching at the 4A level and replacing Susan Morris, who put L-E volleyball ...
The seventh annual May Plant Credit Union Kickoff Classic is set for tonight at Lugoff-Elgin Stadium.
Sure, there were plenty of times in which Lugoff-Elgin's 7-6 win over Andrew Jackson in the middle game of Friday's 37th annual Camden Shrine Club Football Jamboree were painful to watch. For the purists, however, there was something to smile about.
MIDLOTHIAN, VA -- The eight-player Carolinas team posted a five-point victory, 8½-3½, over their Virginia-Maryland counterparts as the 11th Mid-Atlantic Girls' Challenge concluded on Sunday at Independence Golf Club.
All prospective junior varsity and ninth grade football players at Lugoff-Elgin High School who would like to play for either of those teams will kick off practice for the upcoming season on Monday, Aug. 6.
The Lugoff-Elgin Girls' Basketball Camp is on tap for next week. Here is the information on the four-day session.
The ABLE Club of S.C., the official athletic booster club of Lugoff-Elgin High School, is kicking off its "Stand Up and Cheer" campaign.
Imagine going to an auction and buying an item which you have wanted for some time. Then, once you get it home, you have no idea what to do with it.
One of the first things which Jessica Mullins did after being named the head volleyball coach at Lugoff-Elgin High School last spring was to meet with her predecessor, Susan Morris, to discuss the returning members of the 2011 Lady Demons.
A pair of Lugoff-Elgin sophomores were named to the All-Region 4-4A softball team as selected by the seven head coaches in the circuit.
It was a mixed bag for the Lugoff-Elgin boy's soccer teams last week. The week started with some great news for juniors Kyle Brosius and Zach Hellman with both players being selected to the Region 4-4A All-Region Team, amid some stiff competition. Hellman played a key leadership role as the only captain on the Demons' team while Brosius took on a barrage of shots on goal in each game and still maintained an 80 percent ...
Lugoff-Elgin senior Devin Walker was a two-time post-season honoree following the Demons' 2012 season.
Lugoff Elgin's boys' soccer team struggled in their three match-ups last week which capped the regular season.
Sarah Andrews was closing the deal on her becoming an incoming freshman at Columbia College this fall when an admissions counselor at the school saw that the soon-to-be Lugoff-Elgin High School graduate had played volleyball for the Lady Demons.
What better time of year to clean up things around the house than spring?

In the sociology program, we learn to understand our society, our selves, our families, and all our relationships. We investigate such topics as aging, substance abuse, crime, race and ethnicity, gender and sexuality, social welfare, the environment, war and suicide. We do research, study fascinating theories, welcome important speakers to campus, take trips, and go to interesting conferences. Join us!
The program in Sociology acquaints students the with major concepts, significant findings, theoretical perspectives, and research methods of the discipline. If you are interested in people and groups and how they operate, Sociology may be for you. It also works very well as a double major, since all fields of study take place in society! Sociology is a very in-demand major as it prepares you in all aspects of life, for graduate school, and for any number of careers: teaching, law, marketing, journalism, sales, management, counseling, social work, and many positions in hospitals and in the criminal justice system.
Internship opportunities and a concentration in social work are available. The Bachelor of Arts degree is awarded to majors; a minor in Sociology is available. For further information contact the department at firstname.lastname@example.com or the Program Chairperson, Dr. Mary Chayko.
Dr. Mary Chayko – Program Chairperson X4120 firstname.lastname@example.com
Dr. Anne Langan – Director, Gerontology Program X4155 firstname.lastname@example.com
As an academic unit of the College of Saint Elizabeth, the Sociology Department participates in, and contributes to, the College's mission to be a community of learning in the Catholic liberal arts tradition for students of diverse ages, backgrounds, and cultures. The Sociology Department's singular mission is to engage in the empirical study of society and social behavior with a view to enabling students to understand their social world, to recognize the forces of change operative within it, and to critique conditions affecting social life.
The program goals of the Sociology Department flow from, and are consistent with, its mission. Thus, the Sociology Department program goals are:
In addition to contributing to the realization of the stated outcomes for all graduates of the College of Saint Elizabeth, the sociology major will:
(1) understand the major concepts, methodologies, and theoretical perspectives of sociology;
(2) analyze literature on topics of sociological importance;
(3) conduct research consistent with scientific and ethical guidelines; and
(4) create and present academic work (papers, posters, oral and technologically-enhanced presentations) that represents one's sociological knowledge and values.
In addition, students who participate in sociology and social work internships will:
(5) employ their study of sociology and social work in a field work setting, preparing them for work and/or further study in those fields.
34 credits are required for the Sociology major. A student may elect to complete a four-course concentration in Social Work, in which case 42 credits will be taken.

Kate Cameron - Conviction
Album Details
- Artist: Kate Cameron
- EP: Conviction
- Label: n/a
- Year of Release: 2009
- ME Rating:
- Reviewed by: archelon on 2010-02-12
Kate Cameron's 7-track debut EP is entitled "Conviction" and that word in and of itself is a good description of how the whole album is delivered - lots and lots and lots of emotion and you get the feeling that Cameron sang the entire thing with her eyes closed, fully 'in the moment'.
It's mostly an emo-pop affair, songs of hope and loss, but to say that is it would do it a great injustice. There are hints of the blues and rocky guitars in the instrumentation and Cameron's vocal tone is husky and mature. You wouldn't believe she was sixteen - she sounds more like a soul queen who has been smoking cigarillos for 30 years. There are moments of bad control and over-done energy that belie her age, but they will hopefully be smoothed out by some singing lessons and a little time.
"Words I Could Never Say" is bluesy and swaying and maybe slightly overcooked on soulful emotion but nonetheless it is the best constructed song on the EP. This isn't teeny-bop fare, but that shoots Cameron in the foot in some ways - songs of love and loss are best expressed by people who have experienced them first hand, simply because it makes for more interesting lyrics. But she's got talent and a good base on which to build onwards and upwards.

Despite using coconut water, milk, meat and oil in many of my recipes, I have a love/hate relationship with coconut. My love affair with coconut began as a toddler when a nice Mexican man gave me a hunk of fresh coconut meat to teethe on during my parents' vacation in Acapulco. I have lovingly done the same for my daughter.
Coconut is incredibly nutritious. It is unusually high in trace minerals and healthy, medium-chain fatty acids, like lauric acid (found otherwise only in human breast milk) and caprylic acid (a potent natural antiviral and antifungal). Coconut oil can help reduce both your cholesterol ratio and your waistline. And if that weren't enough, the water in a coconut has the same mineral and electrolyte profile as human blood plasma!
However, coconuts, like most tropical fruits eaten by Westerners, have a big, heavy ecological footprint. In most of the continental U.S., coconuts are not a local food. In fact, most coconuts are shipped thousands of miles from South America and Asia, using countless gallons of fossil fuels to bring their yummy goodness to your grocery store.
Coconut and tropical fruit cultivation can also contribute to rainforest destruction and displacement of rare animal and plant species. And most imported tropical fruits found in U.S. grocery stores are not grown organically or with fair and safe working conditions.
Because I live just a few miles from Mexico, I am hoping that I can find a more local source for my very moderate intake of organic coconuts. In the meantime, I am supporting a healthy internal ecosystem by making coconut water kefir and cultured coconut pudding this week.
Culturing Coconut
Coconut can be cultured and fermented in many different ways and at different stages of life. Coconut Milk and Coconut Milk Yogurt are made from the familiar hairy, brown, mature coconuts. Coconut water kefir and cultured coconut pudding, however, are made from young coconuts.
Instead of appearing hairy and brown, a young coconut, like all things in their youth, is green and smooth. Often the green outer shells are cut off before they are shipped to U.S. markets. Look for either the green shell or a cylindrical white "husk" if the outer shell has been removed.
You may not see them in the produce section of your big-chain supermarket, but they are readily available in Asian, Latino, and other ethnic or farmers' markets. Many health food stores will carry them upon request.
Young coconut water is best fermented by adding either water kefir grains or a prepared kefir powder to it. Kefir (pronounced kuh-FEER) is a unique combination of probiotic bacteria and healthy yeast which consume the sugars in the coconut water, making the drink bubbly and delicious—like soda, but without all the chemicals and sugar.
Many people find kefir significantly more effective than probiotic supplements at dealing with digestive issues and candida overgrowth. Babyzilla and I rely on coconut water kefir and other fermented foods to help heal our leaky gut issues and food sensitivities.
And since Babyzilla and I cannot eat dairy products (even raw ones, darn it!), we eat a few coconut products in their place. Coconut water kefir is one of them.
The other benefit to drinking kefir is actually in the coconut water itself. Coconut water is a nutrient-dense beverage filled with minerals, vitamins, antioxidants, amino acids, enzymes, and growth factors, and it also has only a fifth of the sugar found in most fresh fruit juices. Fermenting it reduces the sugar even further and makes all of these nutrients even more available to your body.
If you make coconut kefir out of water kefir grains, you only have a one time cost of buying them, so they are much cheaper in the long run. You can also use the grains for fermenting other things as well. (Do not make coconut water kefir from dairy kefir grains; it will not ferment well, and the grains will quickly die without real milk to consume.)
If you make coconut kefir from powdered kefir packets, you can save a little portion of your batch and then add it to a new jar of coconut kefir. You can keep repeating this process of saving a bit from one batch and adding it to the next until it loses it's fermenting power. So while the packets are a bit expensive, you can stretch them out over a number of batches.
Coconut Water Kefir
(Makes about 1 quart)
- 1 quart latch-lid or mason jar
- Candy thermometer
- Wooden spoons
- Clean kitchen towel
- Water from inside 3-4 young coconuts (or 1 quart packaged coconut water)
- 1 Tbsp. water kefir grains or 1 powdered kefir packet
- Sterilize all your equipment, especially your jars.
- Carefully open coconuts using a cleaver or hatchet, conserving the water. (How-to video here)
- Conserve the young coconut spoonmeat inside and use for Cultured Coconut Pudding (recipe below), smoothies or desserts.
- Heat the coconut water to about 90 degrees.
- Add 1 packet of kefir culture starter and stir until completely dissolved. If using kefir grains, just stir in thoroughly; they won't dissolve.
- Pour the inoculated water into a closeable, sterile jar.
- Ferment at 72-75 degrees F for 36-48 hours. In the summer, this could mean your countertop. In winter, the top of the fridge. Avoid agitating the jar.
- The water will get milky white and usually a bit of bubbles will form on top. The taste should be slightly tart and tangy with only a little of the original sweetness.
- Refrigerate after fermentation. It will continue to ferment, but the process will be much slower. Will last about a week.
- Save 1/4 cup from each batch (including the kefir grains, if using) to inoculate the next quart of kefir, instead of using a new packet. (Or save 1/2 cup to make 1/2 gallon, or 1 cup to make 1 gallon)
- This procedure can be repeated up to 7 times. Inoculate a new batch within 3 days of removing culture from the previous batch.
- Stir in crushed fruit if you wish, and enjoy with meals and before bed to restore your digestive health.
Cultured Coconut Pudding
- Blender
- Glass or ceramic container with lid
- Meat from 3-4 young coconuts
- 1 Tbsp. water kefir grains or 1/2 kefir packet
- Pure water or coconut water
- 1/2 tsp. cardamom, cinnamon or nutmeg
- Fresh fruit (optional)
- Open the young coconuts and conserve most of the the water for Coconut Water Kefir (recipe above). The meat should be white. If it is pink or gray, it should be discarded.
- Scoop the meat out with a strong spoon or spatula.
- Rinse any brown skin off the meat.
- Put the coconut meat in a blender and purée with just enough water to create a pudding-like consistency.
- Add half a packet of kefir starter culture or a teaspoon of kefir grains. Pulse to incorporate.
- Transfer the pudding to a glass or ceramic container, making sure there are a few inches of room on the top for the pudding to expand.
- Cover the container and let it ferment on your countertop or on top of your fridge at about 72-75 degrees for 7-10 hours.
- After fermentation, add cardamom or cinnamon and nutmeg and stir in.
- Refrigerate. It will last about 3 days.
- Enjoy for dessert with fresh strawberries or other toppings.

Shooting first: Fear and the 'stand your ground' law
For those who irrationally fear guns, evidence and data are irrelevant. The use of firearms is to be restricted and curtailed to the greatest extent legally possible regardless of the consequences - because guns are scary things. That impulse is the motivating force behind House Bill 135, to repeal the "stand your ground" law.
Thankfully, the House Criminal Justice and Public Safety Committee removed the two worst parts of HB 135. One would have undone the "Ward Bird" law, which clarifies that merely brandishing a weapon is not a criminal use of deadly force. The other would have made people who use deadly force in self-defense civilly liable for injuries caused when protecting themselves from imminent harm. Still, the bill should not pass.
Testifying against the "stand your ground" legislation in 2011, Associate Attorney General Ann Rice said, "Historically, this committee's first question is 'What problem is this bill trying to address?' If you apply that question to these three bills, there is no problem that needs fixing."
Applying that standard to the law now would generate the conclusion Rice came to in 2011: "there is no problem that needs fixing." We do not have shootouts in bars and restaurants by gunslingers whom the law has emboldened. That is because responsible New Hampshire gun owners are not bloodthirsty desperados itching to kill, which is how so many legislators seem to imagine them. Repealing this law now would be a premature and irrational act based on fear and mistrust. It would be the legislative equivalent of shooting first, asking questions later. How ironic if the bil passes.

[I think that as a climate-saving strategy geoengineering is largely somewhere between a dead end and a hoax -- why would you choose chemotherapy that might make you sicker if your doctors told you diet and exercise would definitely work (see "Geoengineering remains a bad idea")? In retrospect, that analogy isn't perfect. The "diet and exercise" the country and the world needs is more like what the winner of the reality show "The Biggest Loser" undergoes. And the chemotherapy is actually more like an experimental trial for a combination of chemotherapy and radiation therapy, where you have no idea at all if the treatment will work, as opposed to kill you outright, and you might be on the placebo. I have been planning to do a longer series on geoengineering, and Bill Becker's post seemed like a good place to start.]
I do not plan to make a career out of beating up on geo-engineers, but they were back in the news recently in articles published by the on-line magazine Yale Environment 360 and by The Economist.
For those of us who believe that engineering the Earth's life-support systems is a wild and dangerous fantasy, there was good news and bad news.
The "good news" was reported by The Economist: Two new studies conclude that geo-engineering is not as promising an answer to climate change as some in that budding discipline hope.
If you are not yet familiar with geo-engineering, I will attempt to define it in non-technical terms before offering a few observations on the new research:
