HoopsHype Kurt Thomas rumors
The Chicago Bulls made a determined attempt to lure veteran big man Kurt Thomas out of retirement this month before the recent signings of Lou Amundson and Greg Smith, according to sources with knowledge of Chicago's plans. ESPN.com
Sources told ESPN.com that the Bulls have been trying to convince Thomas, who's now 41 and ranked as the NBA's oldest player last season with the Knicks, to join them for the playoffs to lend some added know-how and toughness to their frontcourt rotation. But Thomas has not played since last season and, according to sources, considers himself retired. The Dallas native and former TCU star was spotted last week at the American Airlines Center in his hometown to watch the Spurs and Mavs, two of his former teams, as a fan. ESPN.com
Kurt Thomas is considering a comeback, but it won't be with the Knicks, his longtime agent Jerry Hicks said. Thomas, the 41-year-old power forward who lives in Dallas, has not officially retired after suffering a stress fracture in his left foot last March in his heroic Knicks performance in Salt Lake City against the Jazz. "If the right call comes, he'd come back,'' Hicks told The Post. "He'd only play for a club that has a legitimate chance at winning a championship. Not the Knicks, I can tell you that.'' New York Post
Asked why not the Knicks, who utilized his leadership last season, Hicks said bluntly, "Not the right situation. "He's working out five days a week, keeping in excellent shape. His foot is 100 percent healed, has been for months. He hasn't announced his retirement.'' New York Post

"If the right call comes, he'd come back,'' Hicks told The Post. "He'd only play for a club that has a legitimate chance at winning a championship. Not the Knicks, I can tell you that.'' New York Post
It's not only Kidd's leadership that is missed, Anthony said. The Knicks had cagey veterans that made them the oldest club in NBA history last season. "That makeup of the team was different [last year],'' said Anthony, who lost another homecoming game in Denver. "With J-Kidd, he was a leader in his own right. He wasn't a vocal leader like a Rasheed [Wallace] or Kurt Thomas. He was leader by example on the court. His hard work, his play, everyone fed off that. And everyone led in their own way. Now we do miss that — J-Kidd, Kurt, Kurt and Rasheed. Last year as a team we were more synchronized than right now due to chemistry, due to having fun, due to just having one another's back.'' New York Post
But Anthony, and many in the Knicks' locker room, continue to speak with reverence about the influence Kidd, Rasheed Wallace and Kurt Thomas had last season. "I think now we do miss J-Kidd, Kurt and Rasheed," Anthony said. Newsday
Felton pointed to the elderly bench of Rasheed Wallace, Kurt Thomas, Marcus Camby and Jason Kidd, who fell apart in the playoffs, as part of the team's ultimate undoing, getting KO'd in the second round by the Pacers. With training camp opening Monday, none of those players are back. Three of them have retired. "We're a younger team this year,'' Felton said at an Under Armour appearance at Macy's in Herald Square. "Kurt Thomas, Rasheed, love them like brothers. [But] those guys were 38, 39, 40 years old. Once they got injuries, they're out and it hurt us last year. We've added Metta [World Peace], [Andrea] Bargnani, Kenyon [Martin] and Amar'e [Stoudemire] are coming back. Tim Hardaway [Jr.] looks great by the way. I've been most impressed with him. It gives us depth at that big spot and youth. Those guys are younger." New York Post
MortenStigJensenNBA: @MarkDeeksNBA Bulls signing more guards? Are they not looking for a center? Mark Deeks: They're waiting for Kurt Thomas to get healthy, apparently RT @Morten_S_Jensen Bulls signing more guards? Are they not looking for a center? Twitter @MarkDeeksNBA
Mark Deeks: ....which should be around about December time. Might carry an extra guard until then, unless Pittman impresses enough. @Morten_S_Jensen Twitter @MarkDeeksNBA
Kurt Thomas is undecided about whether to regain his title as the NBA's oldest player next season. "Honestly, I haven't thought much about it," the former Knick said. "I'm just concentrating on getting healthy." New York Daily News
Thomas is recovering from right foot surgery and is two weeks from being off crutches. The 40-year-old is a free agent after the Knicks released him last month in order to add a player to the postseason roster. The move came three weeks after the veteran power forward, knowing he had a broken foot, started against the Utah Jazz and played his best game of the season. That victory sparked the Knicks' season-altering 13-game winning streak. "I definitely miss being around the guys," Thomas said over the telephone from his home in Dallas. "I miss being a part of the playoffs. And I just miss being around basketball. I love the game." New York Daily News
Mike Woodson had nothing but positive things to say about Kurt Thomas, and said he had a job as a coach waiting for him – at least – if he wanted one. Thomas was waived to make room for Solomon Jones. "It's a major loss," Thomas said. "Kurt is a big part of what we started this season with. We had to let him go because he won't be able to play in the playoffs. It frees up a roster spot. He and I are on the same page. If he ever wanted to coach, we probably would look at him next season once he gets back healthy." Sulia

The Knicks intend to waive the injured Thomas in the next 24 hours, possibly Thursday, and sign James Singleton, a journeyman forward who had been playing in China. Thomas is expected to have foot surgery, which will end any chance of his returning for the N.B.A. playoffs, making the decision academic. New York Times

July 28--BELLEVILLE -- Growing up in Belleville, Ted Trentman said he had the seemingly impossible dream of moving to Los Angeles -- and he did.
But now he wants to bring a part of Los Angeles back home.
After completing a project with filmmaker Dan Ewald, Trentman said he pitched the idea of using Belleville as the setting for their next film.
Ewald replied, "Where's that?"
"The origin of the idea was, I love my hometown. ... I think my childhood was perfect, so hopefully I can come back and capture a piece of it," Trentman said.
They came up with a rough idea of the plot, and Ewald flew in to scout Belleville locations and local talent, as well as write the outline to be used to create the screenplay.
"He sent me here to find the story," Ewald said.
Before his trip, Ewald said he only knew they wanted to make a family-friendly indie film about hope, centering on a farmer who lost his wife and remained reclusive until a mysterious stranger appears on his farm.
"The whole story has unfolded in the last seven days," he said during a recent break between auditions. "If I'm not auditioning or at local businesses looking for locations, I've been at St. Louis Bread Company in Fairview Heights writing the outline like a madman. If that gets too distracting ... then I have to drive over to a park and roll down my windows and try not to die in this humidity. I sit there and stare at the trees. I get a lot of writing done out there."
Though he's still in Los Angeles, Trentman said he looks forward to filming in Belleville because it will allow him to involve his family and utilize their resources, such as his father's farm, which will be featured in the film.
"I'm 43 years old and I wanted to create a reason to come back home and spend time with my family and have something -- a project -- with them to hold onto," he said.
In addition to serving as executive producer for the film, Trentman will play the role of the mysterious stranger. He said this character is representative of the choice people have of whether to help each other.
Ewald said the stranger is loving and warm to the farmer, but he's interesting because he doesn't seem to understand the world.
"So the movie's about trying to figure out who this person is for the audience, but for the farmer, this person sort of restores his hope and his faith in humanity and connects him to the past," Ewald said.
Not unlike the farmer who withdrew from the world, local actor Antonio St. James, from Belleville, said he took a break from his career -- and people, in general -- when he lost his brother in Iraq.
"A friend of mine told me, 'This is what you love. You have to get back into it,'" St. James said.
He decided it would honor his brother's memory to continue following his dream, but it can still be bittersweet going to auditions.
"I can't practice with him like I used to, so it's hard," he said.
St. James auditioned for the film Tuesday and was told he would get some time on screen. Not having the support of his brother is difficult, but St. James said his mother remains his biggest fan.
"You would think she would get tired of hearing that I have a new audition, but she's just as excited as I am," he said. "Everything I do, I do for my mom and my brother."
St. James said he was drawn to the film because it will showcase his hometown, which isn't as well known as the bigger cities in Illinois.
"When I talk to people from like Chicago, they've never heard of Belleville," he said. "I think Belleville has a lot to offer."
The film is tentatively called "Belleville," with the majority of it shot in the local businesses that agreed to be a part of the project, Ewald said.
"It becomes a community effort to tell a story that means something," he said. "I've done this in other states. My films are always about some small town that people haven't heard of, maybe outside of a big city."
Ewald said his effort to showcase small towns, including the businesses and local talent they offer, could be due to the fact that he grew up in the Michigan suburbs.
"I'm a total big-city guy now. I think I like to live in the big city, but then go make movies about small towns," he said.
Ewald said this can benefit the small communities in which he films through an increase in tourism.
"When you name a movie the name of the city, people like to visit the city that's in a movie they like, and they like to visit the locations within the movie," he said.
One location audiences may recognize in the film is a little place in New Athens with a very big banjo.
"We know we're shooting here at the Bluegrass Shack," Ewald said. "This is a big turning point in the film. This is when the visitor actually gets the farmer to engage with people in a public place for the first time. ... He gives him a couple glasses of wine and gets him to actually come out to a concert that he's in."
Bluegrass Shack owner Chris Talley said she knows the location is unique, with a 24-foot-tall banjo out front, but she's still surprised that it will be featured in a movie.
"We didn't really tell anybody because with these kinds of things, you're like, 'I'll believe it when I see it,'" she said. "I kind of joked around about it and he was really serious."
Talley's band, the Chris Talley Trio, will be featured in the film as well, performing on stage at the Bluegrass Shack with the stranger.
"The mysterious visitor just stops in on his own and he basically learns how to play the fiddle or something very complicated in minutes," Ewald said. "That makes us wonder, 'Is he a prodigy? What is he?' He is invited by Chris, she's stunned that he can do this, but he's invited to perform with them in three days."
Before production begins, Ewald and Trentman are encouraging the community to get involved, from businesses to individuals willing to volunteer as extras.
"I really hope people will actively reach out to me and become part of it and not be afraid to do that because what happens is, people hear about how great it was and then they email me after a movie and say, 'If you do another one, let me know. I want to be a part of it because I heard how fun it was.' And I hate to tell people, but there probably won't be another one in your area, so get involved now," Ewald said.
Shooting is planned to begin in the first two weeks of October. Ewald said he will need about 100-200 extras over the course of the movie. Anyone interested in volunteering as an extra can contact director Dan Ewald at email@example.com. He's asking for volunteers 14 and older.
Contact reporter Lexi Cortes at email@example.com or 618-239-2535.

UNDATED (WSAU-Wheeler News) A flash flood watch continues until tomorrow morning in west and southwest Wisconsin. Two-to-four more inches of rain fell in Grant County since late last night, closing streets in Muscoda. The southern third of Wisconsin has had more than two days of severe weather.
The National Weather Service has confirmed a seventh tornado -- this one east of Rewey in Iowa County late Monday night. It stayed on the ground for up to a mile-and-a-half, damaging three buildings and dozens of trees. Yesterday, straight line winds of over 70-miles-an-hour struck parts of Dane County east of Madison. Those storms kept going east to Milwaukee, knocking down trees, power lines, and home siding in some places.
Wisconsin Emergency Management says it will cost $3- to $4-million to repair the Country View Elementary School in Verona after a tornado early Tuesday. Officials hope to have the school ready for fall classes on September 2nd. Recreational trails in Jackson County were closed at last word, after two more rounds of rain.
New flood warnings are in effect on several rivers that rose rapidly. They include the Mississippi River at Prairie du Chien and Buffalo County, the Yellow River at Babcock, the Rock River at Waupun, the Trempealeau River at Dodge, and the Black River at Galesville. A flood warning on the Sheboygan River was canceled overnight.
There's a chance for more rain today -- and storms are likely to return tonight.

family vacation from Spain
We spent a wonderful week at this amazing house that met all our expectations and more! This was a family vacation (3 kids, grandparents, uncles and whatnot!) and this house was perfect for us. Noel, the owner, was very welcoming and helpful. Everything worked super well and did what it was supposed to do, so our stay was really comfortable and easy. What can I tell about the house! It´s spectacular! The social area is grand, the views are amazing, the location itself is great because it´s a nice walk down to the beach(es) and the town itself is really special. The kids had a great time, the grandparents too and would no doubt come back to this amazing place. Thanks Noel for everything, and hope to see you soon!
Loved our vacation in the Majorca
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Wonderful as always! We missed Peter
We highly recommend this beach house!
We had a wonderful month at the beach in this house. The owner was wonderful and took care of any need that popped up. We were able to bring our dogs, which made it a perfect family house. The house was very well stocked with supplies, sheets and towels and very clean when we checked in. It was a hot month and we were ecstatic when we realized there was A/C. The beds are very high up (we don't mind but somebody might). The sleeping cottage/3rd BR is a small room with a twin bed. It was great to have the extra room but it was a bit warm in there. The back bedroom got quite warm too, but had its own AC unit, so we were fine. The only downsides had to do with outside noise. The Hari Krishna church next door has a lot of kids that hang around a lot during the day in the summers and are very loud. Also, the Glenneyre street traffic was constant and loud during the month we were there. The location of the house was dreamy - we had no idea that we would be right in the heart of Laguna Beach, and we enjoyed walking the dogs to Main Beach daily. I highly recommend this house!

Who would have thought that the third game of the season would have so much importance attached to it? But after the Rangers (0-2-0, 0 pts) lost each of their first two games, not quite resembling the hard-working well-oiled machine of a year ago in the process, Wednesday's Original Six rematch with the Boston Bruins (2-0-0, 4 pts) does seem to have extra added importance to it, especially when considering the 2013 season consists of just 48 games, not the usual 82 where teams have a bit more leeway when it comes to slow starts.
It is clear in listening to head coach John Tortorella and several of his key veterans the past few days that the team clearly understands what needs to change and how to re-establish the hard-nosed identity that was the cornerstone in a 51-win, 109-point, first-place team a year ago. The question that does remain, however, is will that "hard" mentality, as Tortorella refers to it, return and be in evidence against the Bruins on Wednesday night? If not, it could be another long night for the Blueshirts, who already have lost to the physically-imposing and highly-skilled Bruins once this season---3-1 on opening night Saturday in Boston.
The Rangers will need to better in facets of the game as both the Bruins and Penguins (in Sunday's 6-3 contest) outworked the Blueshirts, created far more offensive chances, and played better defensively and in goal. A pair of keys Wednesday will be the Rangers getting in on the firecheck more consistently and holding on to the puck more often than they have, and to receive a quality start from goaltender Henrik Lundqvist, who has allowed seven goals in 4 1/2 period of hockey so far this season.
Tortorella may have to tinker with the lineup a bit if Arron Asham is unable to play. Asham missed Tuesday's practice with a mild groin strain after making his Rangers debut Sunday against Pittsburgh. Tuesday at practice Stu Bickel took Asham's spot on the fourth line, while Steve Eminger and Matt Gilroy split time as the sixth defenseman, filling in for Bickel.
It will also be interesting to see if Tortorella uses Rick Nash (a goal and an assist in his first two games as a Ranger), Brad Richards (team-high three points so far) and Marian Gaborik (pointless in two games) on the same line Wednesday after practicing that way Tuesday. Tortorella has been playing Nash with Richards regularly so far, while using Gaborik on a line with Derek Stepan in the first two games.
Boston is off to a perfect start thus far, following their 3-1 win over the Rangers with a 2-1 shootout victory on home ice against the Winnipeg Jets on Monday. The constant in both games has been the stellar play of goaltender Tuukka Rask, the 25 year-old who has replaced the semi-retired two-time Vezina Trophy winner Tim Thomas as Boston's No. 1 netminder. Rask made 20 saves in the opener against the Rangers, and another 26 against Winnipeg through 65 minutes of play. The Finnish goalie also stopped two of three shootout attempts on Monday as Boston won the shootout by a 2-1 margin.
Last season the Rangers and Bruins split the two games they played at Madison Square Garden. The Rangers skated to a 4-3 victory on March 4th, while the Bruins regrouped for a 2-1 win on April 1st.
Will the Rangers exact a little revenge and earn their first win of the 2013 season Wednesday against the Bruins? Share your thoughts and predictions below.

To do the cool things, you have to be logged in first.
The two biggest bargains on that list will be Moultrie and Kevin Jones. Moultrie is one of the drafts best rebounders, he is very athletic and has a excellent motor. He has a nice shooting touch coming in 55% from the field and while not a big part of his game showed the ability to step back and make a college three. He should also shoot around 75-80% from the FT line. Jones was an excellent post player at West Virginia averaging essentially 20 and 11 for the season. He was excellent from 18 feet and in but at almost 4 attempts per game he took way too many threes especially when he only made 27% It can become an effective tool for him but he cannot be putting 4 a game at the next level. He is also a little short but at 250 pounds and a 7'1.5" wing span he has the ability to play the four in the NBA.
drummond is a center i thought
Thank you for the update Mike Rice
@jams he could play both depends really on who drafts him
If the blazers keep one of the 2nd round picks, they should really target Nicholson!
@jamsmashers, PFs can move to center as well. He can go either way, just like Anthony Davis could play center. Though you're right, he's widely regarded as a center.
Drummond is actually 6'9" at Chicago camp. Olajuwan was too, but he played up to 7 foot. O'Quinn is very crafty and I think he could be a 2nd round steal. Quincy Acy was by far the hardest working player for Baylor and flat out best dunk finisher in college. Youtube him!
Efitz Nicholson will not make it out of the first let alone all the way to 40.@Basket Drummond was 6'9.75" without shoes his is 6'11.75 with shoes.

A cyber civil rights group and a woman humiliated when an ex-boyfriend posted her intimate photos and videos on Facebook have worked with a Maryland lawmaker to propose making such actions a crime.
Holly Jacobs says she is hopeful Maryland will soon pass a law that would make the non-consensual release of explicit images a felony, reports WTOP. New Jersey is the only state where posting revenge porn is a felony.
Maryland Delegate Jon Cardin has introduced a bill that would make it a felony to intentionally disclose in a public way, on the Internet or otherwise, sexually explicit images of a person without that person's permission, the station reports.
The law would carry a penalty of up to five years in prison, or a $25,000 fine, or both.
Jacobs changed her name after her former boyfriend posted her photos in 2009, WTOP says. While criminal charges against the man were dropped by Hillsborough County, FL, prosecutors, Jacobs is pursuing a civil lawsuit against the ex-boyfriend.

Graduate Campus Certificate in the Teaching of Economics (GCCTE)
I. PurposeThe Graduate (Post-Baccalaureate) Campus Certificate in the Teaching of Economics (GCCTE) offered by the Department of Economics is designed to help prepare individuals for careers in teaching economics and consumer economics. The GCCTE provides training in teaching methods to those receiving a degree in economics, and training in economics and teaching methods to those in other disciplines. The GCCTE indicates that the student has completed courses in economics and in teaching methods, thereby enhancing the recipient's employability at the secondary and tertiary levels. The GCCTE is not a state-issued certificate and does not imply state certification.
II. Admission Requirements
Students must apply for admission to the GCCTE program at least one semester prior to the completion of their
- Students must have a baccalaureate degree with a minimum grade point average of 2.75 (on a scale of 4.0) for the last 60 semester hours (90 quarter hours) of undergraduate study; or a cumulative GPA greater than 2.50 for all degree work.
- Students must submit official transcripts from institutions where degrees were earned and transcripts from all post-baccalaureate institutional programs attended. Transcripts must be received directly from the institution or in a signed, sealed envelope.
- Foreign students whose native language is not English must complete the TOEFL with a minimum score of 550 on the written test or 212 on the computerized test or complete the TOEFL iBT with a total score of 80 and subscores of 21 in Writing, 20 in Speaking, 17 in Listening, and 19 in Reading.
This program is open to students enrolled in the MA or Ph.D. programs in the Department of Economics, or to students in
other programs or in a "non-degree" status seeking to supplement their previous education.
Students who are admitted to the Certificate program only are not guaranteed admission to a degree program as graduate degree seeking students. External or nondegree students who are admitted to a UIC graduate program may petition to transfer a maximum of 12 semester hours earned through the GCCTE program.
III. Academic Policies
Students who take the equivalent of Econ 520 or 521 or an approved graduate-level elective in the College of Education at
other institutions may receive transfer credit for any these courses. A maximum of one course may be transferred into the
certificate program.
To receive the certificate, students must have a minimum grade point average of 2.75 on a scale of 4.00 on GCCTE courses, must submit the "Intent to Graduate with the GCCTE" form on completion of their GCCTE courses, and must receive a grade of satisfactory or above on their reflection statements.
IV. Program Requirements
The GCCTE requires completion of four courses (16 semester hours):
I. Econ 540 or 520 or Econ 501 -Microeconomics: 4 hrs
II. Econ 521 or Econ 511 or a Macroeconomics-oriented intermediate college level (Econ 521 or equivalent) or beyond-- Macroeconomics in the World Economy: 4 hrs
III. Econ 441 -- Teaching Methods in Economics: 4 hrs
IV. One Economics elective at the 400 level or higher -- Either option A or option B

NEAR RICHLAND, WA - "The show must go on" was the motto for a Seattle band involved in a rollover accident Thursday morning along Interstate 82, just outside of Richland.
Band members, of "Friends and Family," were on their way to a music festival in Boise, Idaho when the driver fell asleep. Mangled mirrors, shattered glass, and a caved-in roof are all that's left of the 1998 Buick, that Holly Dahlstrom was driving.
"My grandma gave me this car and said it's safer for the band to be in a bigger car...she was right," said driver Holly Dahlstrom.
Dahlstrom and her band mates left Seattle, around 5 a.m., bound for Boise to play at the Treefort Music Festival. Troopers say Dahlstrom fell sleep at the wheel near the Dallas Road exit on I-82 where she hit a rumble strip, causing her car to flip and roll.
"I over-compensated on the turn, then it just swerved and went tumbling down the highway," Dahlstrom said.The four people in the car all escaped with their lives. However an ambulance took one of the passengers to a hospital with non-life threatening injuries. Dahlstrom got a ticket for negligent driving, but that didn't keep her spirits down. Instead the band focused on getting back on the road again."We're renting a car and the show must go on," she said.The eastbound Dallas Road exit was closed for an hour while crews worked to clean up the accident.
Dahlstrom says "Friends and Family" is still scheduled to play Thursday night at 9 o'clock

OK...gas prices are getting out of hand, and carbon emissions have been out of hand for a long time. So let's kill two birds with...well...five stones. We generally focus on high-technology here at EcoGeek, and how we can save energy with smart designs. But sometimes, there are simpler ways. In fact, an absolutely tremendous amount of gasoline could be saved in America with some very simple measures. We break it all down and online viagra sales figure out how much gas can be saved with some stupidly simple techniques.
1. Lose Some Weight - 900 M Gallons of Gas
Americans weigh about 24 more pounds per person than we did in the 1970s. That weight, when we're driving, has to be moved around with our cars. Multiplied over the free cialis three trillion miles driven in America each year, suddenly we need a lot of gas to move around our extra chub. If we could (preferably through walking and biking) lose those 24 lbs and reach 1970's sizes, America would used nearly one billion gallons of gas less than we currently do.
2. Intelligent Traffic Lights - 1000 M Gallons of Gas
Studies have shown that altering traffic lights to ensure maximum flow can reduce gasoline consumption in cities by between 10% and 20%. Already, lots of places have traffic light systems that use sensors to detect whether or not there are cars in certain lanes and when and how often to change lights. But a great deal of traffic infrastructure is still extremely primitive, and most of it is programmed by hand. Researchers have begun to attempt to create traffic lights that can make decisions for themselves. Stoplights might soon communicate with other nearby lights about when they plan on changing, how much traffic they've seen, and what's been working for them recently to keep traffic flowing. And they will even be able to remember what worked for maximizing flow in the past, and use those same techniques in the future.
3. More Expensive Gas - 450 M Gallons of Gas (so far)
OK, so this isn't necessarily the best solution to our problems. Especially since most people who really need to drive can't afford to pay much more for gas. But 2007 showed the first decrease in the number of miles traveled since the http://lifeinabundance.org/effect-of-cialis-on-women gas crisis of the 70s. As gas prices sored to upwards of $3.00 per gallon, people actually drove less. The amount driven dropped by about 10 billion miles. At the average fleet efficiency of 22 mpg, that's 450 million gallons of gas saved.
4. Drive a Little Slower - 600 M Gallons of Gas (just for semi trucks)
Recently, with diesel prices topping $4.00, Con-Way Freight, owner of one of the largest truck fleets in America, decided that they would decrease the maximum speed their drivers could drive from 65 mph to 62 mph. This will save the company 3.2 million gallons of fuel per year. And that's just ONE trucking company going 3 mph slower! If this was expanded to all 1.5 million semis on American roads, it would save 617 million gallons of fuel! And if it the order cialis cialis national speed limit was lowered to 65 mph, the savings would be extreme. Already, the U.S. trucking industry is calling for a decrease in the national speed limit, first because the difference in speed between trucks and cars creates possible safety issues. And second, because it would, ultimately, decrease the price of fuel.
5. More People Per Car - 1500 M Gallons of Gas
If every car in America that transported one person instead transported two people, we'd save about 8 billion gallons of gas per year. But since, y'know, I guess that's unrealistic, we figure we'll aim lower. If just 20% of current drive-only trips became two-passenger carpools, we'd use 1.5 billion fewer gallons of gas per year.
6. Increase Mileage to 35 MPG - 55,000 M Gallons of Gas by 2015
This needs to be said. The current average fuel economy of an American car is 22 mpg. It would be lower if there was no law in place requiring that efficiency. The auto industry has been fighting any increase in that number for decades. We finally have a law on the books that will increase that number to 35 MPG by 2020. But if we, in America, had 35 MPG cars today, like the currently do in Europe, we would use 55 BILLION gallons of gas less. Yes, looking back through the rest of the list, this might seem to trivialize the rest of that work.
But each of these measures will, without a doubt, help us deal with the supply shortages and environmental implications of our massive oil addiction. And while American still consumes roughly 400 million gallons of gasoline per day

Also, times are changing a bit. Americans are buying more small cars and a lot less trucks. It's so bad that Chrysler is offering a deal where you can lock in $2.99/gallon on new vehicles, even those big Hemi-Dodge Rams. It's a sign they are having a lot of trouble selling them.
We just bought a new Chevy Colorado, and the much bigger Silverado, with much worse gas mileage, was stickered at only a few hundred more than the small truck. Times are certainly changing here.

So here's an idea. Focus on efficient vehicles. I don't care if it's an SUV speeding past me as long as it's at least getting 25MPG -- better than most of the sedans my overpaid management drives! Or, vehicles that you can seamlessly toggle between performance and economy. Better traffic systems, as you mentioned. Alternative fuels that don't rob us of food (also on the rise, thank you so much Mr. Government) such as compressed-air and viagra 50mg hydrogen. Better batteries and plug-in hybrids.
written by nicster, May 07, 2008
The first problem can be helped by incenting drivers to drive slower. Maybe giving them a bonus if they keep mpgs over a certain limit. The second problem is probably harder to fix.
With regards to cars and trucks in general I know that for me, simple awareness helps. My latest car has an mpg display. It gives me much more immediate feedback on my driving habits than the old method of checking the mileage at the next fill-up. If all cars had constant mpg displays drivers would have better tools to help decrease usage.

Many automatic transmissions in production today have only four gears. And while five and six speed automatics exist (and are becoming more common), it is much cheaper/easier to build a five or six speed standard transmission than an automatic with the same number of gears.

In all seriousness, this list is a joke when you consider the major issue here is the design of our country's infrastructure. In my home city (the 3rd largest in NY) I could take a bus to work - if I didn't mind working from 9am to 4pm and waiting for an hour - that's right - one bus per hour for 7 hours a day, 5 days a week - for a city of a million people!
The interstate system was designed for moving BETWEEN cities, and was never ever meant for commuting INTO cities, but as soon as the developers cottoned on to cheap land prices (and cheap gas), the suburbs were born, and we're all doomed to deal with the consequences.
As a life-long inner city dweller, I sincerely look forward to the idiots who bought McMansions 30 miles outside town, banging on the door to buy my house because they can't afford to get to work anymore. Tough doodoo brother - you should have thought about it before you plunked down the cash for that shiny SUV.
It will take decades to retrofit the infrastructure of this country, to account for past mistakes. Billions of dollars for fitting light railways, public transport, better facilities in downtowns, walkable communities. Until we begin to address this problem, the whole debate about gas usage is just "running up the down elevator"
James Howard Kunstler's book "The Geography of Nowhere" is a must-read for anyone interested in the topic.

As for me, I live in the "near-burbs". My house is in the middle of my own private forest, but I am five miles from the http://jaygalbraith.com/cialis-50-mg-tablets state capital. I would have bought property downtown, but paying $500 a square foot made no sense for my family when I could pay $60.
As for those who bought homes 30 miles out of town (and not all of them are "McMansions") what I see coming is an increase in more local shops and such for them. That combined with more employers allowing people to work from home, which will increasingly become a significant perk that costs the employer little, I see a great deal of adaptation coming.
It is hubris to assume that your "inner city" life means that you live in the center of the universe.

Large people should pay a surcharge for their size, flights should make them buy two seats and we should have extra wide spaces that they charge more at events for the big people.

I'm with ya Andy. I'm on the economic development board for my Texas burb. And we are growing by leaps and bounds in this recession as business are moving in. a positive 12% growth this year so far. over 20% growth the last 2 years. And I'm not talking new houses. I'm talking only the business growth. And your right most big city folk think, they are the center of the universe. I agree there will be more smaller shops in the future in the burbs, because I'm seeing it happen right now. The burbs will and are becoming stand alone city's. City people that think everyone should live they way they do have swallowed to much of their own Kool Aid.
Also you should school Virgil on the fact that a lot of stretches of interstate are also made to land large Air Force Cargo/troop transports.

My wife and I intentionally moved closer to a nice train route. It's about five minutes to get down to the train (so the noise never bothers us). All of the time spent on the train is reclaimed on the laptop, reading. or talking on the phone. The cost of the train pass is less than parking in the city. We only have to insure one vehicle (saves us another $100/mo), not to mention our savings in gas.
All this and it's good for the environment. It's been a win win for us! If your employer covers parking, ask if you can substitute for a transit pass. It usually works out cheaper for them anyways.

The only catch with that model for suburbs is whether there is a high enough density and diversity of businesses to have positions for both of a two income family.
In days past when women tended to be either a homemaker or in a fairly transportable profession such as teaching or clerical, it was easy for a family to move to a suburb convenient to Dad's work. Now women are making wonderful contributions in every field imaginable. Thus, often in the suburban sprawl model, the family is left with a dilemma of being close to one job and way far from the other, or splitting the difference. Urban centers offer the possibility of enough diversity to support two careers within mass transit range.
Personally, I don't think suburbs will die. I just think PHEVs will become an expense that has to be factored into the suburban economic equation.

this is stupid imho. Seriously, it's so much easier and more safe the way california regulates truck driving than any other state (i know the truck drivers hate it though). seriously, what is more safe, a car trying to pass a semi truck going 67 mph or a car trying to pass a semi truck going 57 mph? they also create traffic congestion the www.boehler.org same way a cop going 65 (in a 65 zone) does, if the truck (or cop) were to go 10mph less than the rest of commuter traffic the congestion is greatly reduced.

so the priority goes for the city: 1) maximize profitability of the city by taking money from the working class, 2) safety, ... 99) travel efficiency.
if travel efficiency were #1, safety should also benefit (less cars on the road, less accidents. smarter lights yields less yellow and red light running. less road rage, etc). it never will be #1 or even close though, because traffic is a huge profit center for most cities. (unjustly so in my opinion.)
someone said a limited city budget should impact the viability of smart traffic lights too, and limited funds should be allocated to something more important like education. I have to call BS on that. smart traffic lights are very nearly a one-time investment (minimal repairs would be required for sensors & cameras) that would reap 20% fuel savings to the entire city? uhh... what's more important than that? do that once and every family has how much more money to spend on their own family however they see fit for every year to come, and the city can invest in important things like education later too. the sooner a city improves their traffic management the sooner they start saving money and that saved money is only going to continue for as long as people commute.
if the government was actually here to serve the follow link viagra online people then smart traffic lights would've been mandatory a long time ago.

Go to your job and look around the office and brand name cialis try to figure how many people at your office work on a computer, how much time they are "alone" on a computer, and how much they really need to talk to others to do the work they do "on a computer." I did this sort of exercise at the school board I worked at once, and I literally counted one person that had to be in the office 100percent of the time to do their job, out of a staff of about 60 people. (It was the janitor). Oh, and by the way, not one person in that whole staff was allowed to work at home, not even for one day a week, no one.
I am pretty sure that is not an unusual situation. And though I wouldn't call for all companies to empty offices and allow staff to work at home continually, I really can't see the logic in not letting people work from home at least 2 or maybe 3 days a week, at least in offices where quiet concentrated computer work is concerned.
Oh, so basically I am also agreeing with the other guy... It is about not driving after all, and not about finding solutions as to how to continue driving.
If we did all have cars that get 35 miles to the gallon, all that would do would be to give us an excuse to drive more and buy more cars. And that can't happen! (Because there are just too many others around the world who will soon be getting cars... i.e. Chinese, then Africans, etc.). The solution is to stop driving, pure and simple. The question is just how that can be accomplished.

The train system, which will now be the primary transporter of products, still runs on Diesel. Millions and Millions of Gallons of Diesel. So what's the solution? Electric Trains! America needs to catch up with the rest of the world and on line viagra purchase convert to electric trains.
All those new trains need power. A large percentage of our national power grid runs Gasoline Power Plants. Solution? Build Nuclear Power Plants! Modern Plants, like the Pebble Bed Reactor in use in Europe are far safer than they were 50 years ago and provide a maximum of energy at a minimum of pollution (that's right- nuclear wastes less than coal or gas plants). Alternative energy, like wind or solar power just don't pack the Megawatts that are desperately needed.
After eliminating these key ingredients, not only will our consumption of fossil fuels plummet but so will the demand, crashing the price of gas to pre-Bush levels. Not that you will need it, what with the modern, comfortable, and convenient train service that this new age will bring about.

Cars are *engineered* to be their most efficient at ~60mph. Faster or slower than that wastes fuel. So, slowing down inner-city traffic even more than it already is just makes you an idiot.
Further, the most wasteful part of driving in the city is acceleration. So, if you really want to reduce wasted fuel in the city accelerate slower, and avoid areas with successive traffic lights/stops. But for fraks sake, don't cruise at 25 if the posted speed is 35 because you're not just pissing me off, you're wasting gas.
Of course, if we simply adopted a more European style laissez-faire attitude and removed the stop signs/lights in favor of yields and round-abouts you'd find we could save enormous amounts of fuel. There is also quite a bit of evidence that doing so reduces the number of accidents as bad drivers are actually more likely to slow down for a yield than they are for a stop.

I think a number of companies are a bit paranoid that workers will not do their work if working from home, but for salaried employees, it simply makes sense. Millions of gallons of gas could be saved daily.
It's also my contention that salaried employees can't game the telecommute system for long. EVENTUALLY work has to get done, or an employee would be reprimanded and/or fired. Workplace Darwinism.
This simple and effective solution is rarely discussed.

So, Harry, you're saying that a standard transmission just doesn't get better mileage than an automatic? You may be right, especially if we all trade our cars in every two years to get the latest technology...an admirable, eco-sensitive thing to do, no? But my old, limited knowledge of how to use a clutch sure seems to make a difference. And those high-mileage Europeans seem to agree with me, since as of not many years ago they still drove mostly standard transmissions.
But i see your point, it's always better to use many more pieces and a more complicated manufacturing process to achieve the same end result...especially if you're trying to save the Earth. Perhaps we're in need of a little more eco and a little less geek.

I save gas by SLOWING DOWN and keeping my vehicle maintained. Before I started paying attention to this, my already fuel-efficient '91 honda civic was getting around 30 mpg. After comprehensive tune up and generic cialis 50mg the decision to drive 55-60 mph on the highway instead of 65-70, my mpgs went up to 40! That's 25% increase. The research shows the "average" savings of slowing even from 75 to 65 is approximately 17-20% depending on vehicle type (size) and engine size. The maintenance thing is a biggie too because, on average, the dirtiest 10% of cars spew out the bulk of the pollution and even minor things like proper tire inflation can help.

I would love to have a Jeep that get 35-40 MPG, but they do not make it yet. From 2003 on, they just put bigger engines in the Jeep. First, the Hemi 5.7 and then the Hemi 6.2. Yes, they are faster, but gas mileage went down with each one. Jeep will not another penny from me until they make a Jeep that is a lot more efficent than anything they currently are offering.

The only way people will change behavior is thru consequences or laws. Laws that lower the speed limit and force people to slow down and laws that manufacturers have to produce high efficiency cars/trucks(reportedly currently approved in the US). Another (more expensive idea) is for towns to build a centrally located "all-inclusive" shopping/entertainment complex that will decrease the drives to malls and we recommend buy levitra next day delivery food stores. Expanding a public transportation system would be ideal but the cost most times will run into the billions.
Of course, the best way to change behaviors is thru the pocket book - big homes. big cars/trucks = big bucks to fuel/cool/heat.

Drive less. Bike more. Install motion-detectors in your light switches so that when no one's in the room, the light goes off. Install geothermal heating with a tankless water heater backup.

Unfortunately, within the city I live in, the transit's not that great. I'm a college student, driving whatever I can get my hands on, so even though I would LOVE to have a hybrid car, or at least something that gets a little better gas mileage, I can't afford it. Then, of course the gas is getting ever more expensive, making it hard to keep paying for it, so like many I'm screwed both ways. Those are some good tips up there and i'll definitely be checking ways to shave what I can off my mileage.

I agree with some posters that forcing people to slow down to 55 mph, carpooling, or driving less to be a hard sell to the average American.
There are certainly other ways to save fuel. If possible and weather permitting; drive a scooter instead of a car. I own a scooter and during the warmer months I use it all the time. I have storage space so I can comfortably fit a grocery bag or two in the basket, and a case of my favorite beverage on the floorboard. It gets around 80 mpg and does 40-45 mph. It gets me to work and helps me with errands. It's not for everyone but it does fill a niche.
We use so many gas powered tools and equipment nowadays that making these things run on battery packs or an extension cord could save a lot of gas. I think a company has developed a plug-in lawnmower that can run 30-45 min. under load before needing recharged. I've also let my lawn grow a little taller which reduces the number of times I cut it in the summer.
I read somewhere that around 15 million gallons of fuel is spilled every year in the U.S. trying to fill outdoor power equipment.
I have a couple bicycles but don't use them as often as I should. It certainly is great exercise but I have breathing and allergy issues and we choice beta blockers and cialis live where it's windy so I don't pedal much anymore.
Some great ideas from the author and the posters!

Remove the impediments to gas mileage the Government has forced on consumers. All those gadgets they put on the cars and trucks that actually REDUCE mileage. One of my friends recently bought a new Diesel engine truck, and if they took all the government things off, then they'd probably get 7 miles more a gallon minimum. The same is true with gas powered cars.
Allow bikes on Highways and Interstate Highways. Yeah, there might be a few people that would ride a moped if they'd put a slow vehicle / bike lane on the side of the road. Again, government prevention is the root cause.

We should apply pressure by raising limits not lowering them & raising the price at the pump to force US drivers to choose fuel efficient options like light duty diesels . These clean very fuel efficient options that have no trouble hitting mid 40s to mid 50s mpgUS today could fill our roads overnight if we chose as a country . These mpgs are more than possible in not small vehicles like the Audi A4 , A6 even A8 or the VW Polo , Jetta , Golf , New Beetle , Passats Touareg , Tiguan , & Touran all TDI turbo diesels .
I have a 1997 Passat TDI clean computer controlled turbo diesel that has no trouble hitting mid 50s to mid 60s mpgUS tank after tank in city & highway loops .
If we so chose we could have fleets of 40-50 mpgUS clean powerful turbo diesel in all sizes of on our roads tomorrow . And if we did so we wouldn't need a drop of imported oil as we could export it we so chose .
So raise the limit don't lower it and raise the price at the pump to the point that the thought of waiting oil in a fleet of low mpg SUVs & Pickups is never allowed again .

To be kind to the environment I switched from an older station wagon recently which was 25 mpg overall to a 7 seat car/van and now I get 39 mpg overall. That means 379 gallons less fuel per year and lower car maintenance costs. It also means less oil demand and can viagra be taken by women if more people changed to more efficient cars, then the lower demand could result in a plunge in oil and gas prices worldwide.
Those people hanging on to 15 and 20 year old cars are not saving money. A new fuel efficient car uses less gas and needs less maintenance and repair. Increasing the minimum fuel economy is the way to go and savings on gas used should factor in the likely resulting drop in the price of gas if enough people changed.

Sailing race fills bay with boats
The annual Semiahmoo Regatta is scheduled for next weekend, April 28 and 29, and will once again bring the area's top amateur sailboat racers to Blaine, appropriate for a town that is, after all, half water. The competition can be seen from many vantage points and you can listen to the race on marine radio, channel 72.
Racing takes place at 10 a.m. both days. Saturday's race runs around the Alden Bank Buoy southwest of Point Whitehorn from the start near the White Rock pier.
Sunday's racing is within Semiahmoo Bay, a close-quarters windward-leeward set of races around closely-spaced buoys that fills the bay with spinnakers.
Sunday's races especially can be easily seen from Semiahmoo County Park.
The hard work that the sponsoring International Yacht Club's racing committee puts in on the weekend series has paid off as the event has become one of the area's major spring racing weekends.
Two years ago it was sanctioned by the Vancouver Area Racing Council (VARC), putting this local Blaine/White Rock racing weekend on the short list of major area races along with such classics as Southern Straits, Swiftsure and Whidbey Island Race Week.
Trophies are awarded in each of five handicapped starts, or classes, both for Saturday's long-distance race, the TD Canada Trust Cup, and Sunday's two-race short course series called the Bill VanDenBorne memorial. Additionally, the White Rock cup is awarded to the best finisher over-all on the weekend, and Blaine's West Marine store awards the West Marine International Trophy to the best Canadian or American three-boat team based on combined results for the whole weekend.
Last year local sailor Mark Gumley, on his F9 trimaran Blue Lightning, won the VanDenBorne trophy in the multi-hull class and the West Marine trophy as well, teamed up with Gray Hawkins's Davidson 40 named Teddy Bear and Brian Tyrell's J-22 called T-squared. Tyrell came from Texas to sail in the race.
This is the ninth annual edition for an event that started modestly and flew under the local radar for a while, even though it brings several hundred people to the Blaine marina where race headquarters are located.
The race committee will also be using Peace Arch Park to accommodate skippers and crew from both the U.S. and Canada at the Friday skipper's meeting and Saturday race awards. Sunday closes off with a barbecue and awarding of second-day prizes, including the West Marine International Cup, at the Blaine marina.
For more information and to register for the race contact Bezubiak at 604/657-7146, or by e-mail at email@example.com. Individuals can also visit the club's web site at www.iycbc.ca/regatta.asp.

LAKE PLACID, N.Y. – The Quinnipiac men's ice hockey team was picked to finish third in the ECAC Hockey Coaches and Media Preseason Polls, as announced by the league office on Tuesday, Sept. 24 at ECAC Hockey's annual Media Day. This year's media event was held at Herb Brooks Arena in Lake Placid, N.Y., which will also serve as the site of the 2014 ECAC Hockey Semifinals and Championship Game.
In the coaches poll, Yale was tabbed to finish first, with a league-high four first-place votes, followed by Rensselaer with two votes. Quinnipiac and Union tied as the coaches' pick to finish second, with both teams receiving two first-place votes. Cornell was picked fifth, with one first-place vote, followed by Harvard and Dartmouth, who received the final first-place vote in sixth and seventh, respectively. Brown, Colgate, St. Lawrence, Princeton and Clarkson rounded out the 12-team field.
It was Rensselaer emerging as the top pick in the media poll as the Engineers received 18 first-place votes. Yale was second with five votes, while Quinnipiac received the second-most first-place votes, with six, for third place. Union was fourth with three first-place tallies, followed by Cornell, with one vote, and Dartmouth tied for fifth. St. Lawrence, Brown, Colgate, Harvard, Princeton and Clarkson filled in the remaining spots, in order.

Quinnipiac will return four of its top five scorers from 2012-13, including 30-point scorer Matthew Peca (15g, 15a) as well as linemates Connor and Kellen Jones in addition to leading goal-scorer Jordan Samuels-Thomas (17g, 12). Connor led the team in scoring in 2011-12, and totaled 12 goals and 16 assists last season while Kellen had 13 goals and 14 assists.
Arguably the most experienced part of the Bobcats' line-up over the last two years, the Bobcats will look to replace over 600 career games lost to the graduation of Zack Currie, Zack Davies, Mike Dalhuisen and Loren Barron. Currie served as the team's captain last season, while Davies was named ECAC Hockey Best Defensive Defenseman also earned All-ECAC Hockey First Team honors. Dalhuisen had a banner year, totaling eight goals and eight assists while Barron chipped in with three goals and 13 assists in 43 games played a year ago.

Prosecutors rest case against Detroit ex-mayor
Thursday - 1/31/2013, 10:49am EST
DETROIT (AP) - Prosecutors have rested their case on the 64th day of the corruption trial against former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick.
The final government witness Thursday was an agent from the Environmental Protection Agency who testified about cancelled checks found at the office of Kilpatrick pal Bobby Ferguson, a construction contractor who is also on trial.
Kilpatrick, his father Bernard and Ferguson are charged with a sweeping conspiracy to fix city contracts and shake down businesses. The government says Kwame Kilpatrick pocketed bribes and also used a nonprofit fund as a slush fund for his personal use.
The trial isn't over. Defense attorneys are expected to call witnesses for up to two weeks.
Kilpatrick quit office in 2008 after pleading guilty to obstruction of justice in a different matter.

ATMORE, Ala. (AP) — Alabama has executed its first inmate since 2011,
a man convicted of the beating and shooting death of an elderly man on
Halloween night in 2005.
Authorities say 29-year-old Andrew Lackey was pronounced dead at 6:25
p.m. Thursday after receiving an injection at Holman Prison in Atmore.
Authorities say Lackey was seeking money when he killed 80-year-old
Charles Newman at his Limestone County home. Court records show Newman
made an emergency call to police the night of his death and could be
heard saying, "Leave me alone" and "What do you want?"
Lackey, who had dropped all appeals, became the first person executed
by the state since October 2011. Executions had been partly slowed
because of a legal dispute over the drugs being used.
Evangelist Franklin Graham prayed on a sidewalk outside the Pentagon Thursday after his invitation to a prayer service inside was withdrawn because of comments that insulted people of other religions. More>>

Summer Mission 2014
Mission 2013 to Cao Bang was accomplished successfully. See our blog at http://facebook.com/gsmdm. Application for Mission 2014 is available HERE and Deadline is November 10, 2013..
"What Is This Life For?"
"In 2004 we first came to Cao Bang a young mother and her 12 year old little girl came to us for help. The mother was dying of cancer and like any other type of cancers, we just don't have the means to help them. In her case, her cancer was quite advanced. There wasn't anything we would do but to help the little girl prepared and burry her mother. Soon after we left she became an orphan. None of us remembered her any more. Nine years later, Summer 2013, we came back and that little girl by chance found out the Good Samaritans were back in town, she came looking for us to thank us for the help we gave her 9 years before. With tears in her eyes, she told us it was because of what we did for her, no matter that she became an orphan, she determined to go to school to become a teacher so that one day she can help another child as repayment for the gift she received. Today she is now living out that pledge as a young teacher."
