@recenso wrote an excellent piece on simple to-do apps. Todokyo.com helps me stay more productive and the piece below captures the main aspects.
I was recently introduced to Todokyo.com by @munishp on Twitter. It's a super simple web based to-do app. If you depend on OmniFocus, this is definitely not your thing.
There are three main "features":
- adding a task;
- completing a task;
- automatically delete all tasks before the next day.
The first two are obvious for any task manager. The last, however, struck me as weird. Chris Kalani, Todokyo's creator, explains:
It works like you'd expect, with a couple constraints: First, every morning it starts over fresh. Your list from the day before is thrown in the garbage. The idea is to encourage the completion of all tasks each day and prevent the addition of frivolous unobtainable tasks.
A simple, but yet so useful idea. While it's useless for projects, repetitive or long term task, it's fantastic for those everyday, smaller tasks. Todokyo won't help you pay your bills at the right time, neither will it remind to get your umbrella tomorrow. It will, however, keep a nice and clean list of everything you have to do right now. And it does so brilliantly.
Another thing that makes Todokyo special is its lack of reordering or deleting. These features are usually considered a mandatory part of every service with any kind of input - not only to-do apps.
Second, there's no reordering. I want to try and trust my subconscious; if I add a task before another, then it's because my mind has determined it's priority by the order in which it's remembered.
While this is may not be true for organized projects, repetitive or long-term tasks, it is for normal ones. The thing you first write down is most likely the one you need to get done first. Of course, they will get mixed up sometimes. That's something you'll just have to get used to in order to use Todokyo.
The web app is great. It's light enough that it'll load in the blink of an eye, and it will remember all your tasks when you return to the site. No login required, no settings. It works perfectly on both the iPad and iPhone.
What appears to be the only, though huge, letdown is the lack of synchronization between several devices. Because even though it'll remember your state when you return to the site on your Mac, it won't remember the same ones on the iPad or iPhone. In other words, there's no way whatsoever to move a task from one device to another.
Although this may limit the ease of use for some, it may also increase it for others. A typical scenario for me is that I'll often want to keep my writing tasks on my Mac or my iPad, as they're my main writing devices. If one task is on both those devices, it might lose some actual value. If it's only on my iPad, I'll feel obligated to finish task before I leave the iPad on the table. Thus, it makes me more likely to finish the task now.
Freshlist is an iPhone app that acts precisely the same way as Todokyo, except with a better UI and better implementation. It has a neat way to create new tasks, one that slightly reminds me of Notational Velocity. It's free on the App Store, so go get it right away.
Although I do use these apps for my main tasks, I can't do that for my future plans. To do that, I'll simply use the built in Reminders app, which works fairly nice.
The only real need I have for a task app is to be able to check what I need to do. Not organize, spell check or refine the tasks themselves. Doing that takes up time, bu tmost importantly, occupies my mind. My mind should absolutely not be occupied by anything else than the actual task at hand. Hence, my love for these apps.

Welcome to the Geothermal Energy Business
GEO-T Expo 2014, which is to be held between November 11 and13, is the place to benefit at the right time from the boom in geothermal energy. Here you can meet decision-makers, customers, business partners from around the world. The wide range of exhibitors – covering all aspects from exploration, through drilling equipment, pipes, compressors or thermal heat pumps, to systems engineering and power station technology - is highly attractive to the relevant professional circles.
The best argument in favour of being present at the event: GEO-T Expo had a brilliant premiere in 2013. 120 exhibitors from 16 countries. More than 1,100 professional visitors, over 80% of whom were from the much sought-after target groups of manufacturing, R&D and engineering offices. 92% of the exhibitors rated the combination of the exhibition and the Geothermal Congress of the German Geothermal Energy Association (GtV) as very successful. 80 per cent want to exhibit again in 2014. The trend is underway – and you can be right at the forefront!

The cast of How I Met Your Mother impersonating their fictional selves.
oh, my sweet babies!
(Source: neuralmente)
let's just soak in this moment…
(Source: teddywestside)
Woo!! Now that was a packed episode!
sorry i've been MIA lately. (I missed you all!) the flu got me good. :/ but all is good now! especially after that episode!
so quick thought….
Loved Baby Mosby mixed in!!!! :D
I am loving Cristin!! <3
I also love love love Barney's truth serum! (Cannot wait for the ring BEAR!)
I've gotta say, i was a little scared that something bad might have come up with the whole truth thing but i was proven wrong. nothing but perfection!
AND UM…OMG! WE KNOW BARNEY'S JOB!!!!! and boy is it a job! Dude! Barney's a B.A.! ;)
as far as the marshall and lily situation…i'm not quite ready to talk about that yet. (no, those aren't tears!)
overall…epic episode! very excited to see what happens next! (There is just too many thoughts in my head! lol I need sleep!)
But what did you guys think???
i use these all! lol
(Source: onlygusta, via embrace-inner-nerd)
How I Met Your Mother characters as they were described in the original pilot script
yep…they sure got that right!

"And my Italian was getting so good."
(Source: hhowimetyourmother)
As a hard core swarkles fan, tonight's episode was epic!
just…ugh! My heart!
That was some true romance right there!
Robin was so heartbroken but then…BAM! Barney surprises us all and melts Robin's heart!
I know it didn't have the mother in this one but come on…This episode was absolutely amazing!
I also love the Lily story. Poor Lily :( I just want you to be happy! <3 I love Lily!
Plus..Ted and the piano then ice skating! Good ole Teddy Boy! ;)
So…I loved it!!! I give it a 10.
(not just for the swarkles. but really all the character connection. What a super group of friends. So SWEET!)
(Source: teddywestside)
Classic himym all the way!!!
Full of funny, then heart breaking then it hits you with the sweetness!
Quick Highlights:
- Cobie OWNED this episode! Jeeze, she is just perfect!
- I love that they finally addressed the infertility (even if a flashback :/) i do wish we saw it when but happened but…
- Barney's reaction was PERFECT! just perfect!!
- Swarkles are made for eachother!
- also…Go Loretta! I love the last scene with her and robin.
_Teddy Boy proposed!!!!!!!!!!!! So cute!!! <3
-Overall, terrific episode! himym at it's best!! <3
As she watched Robin make a new friend, Lily was happy…for two seconds.
oh lily…
(Source: samanthapanther)
(Source: tatianamaslnay)
but another beautiful episode.
I'm actually pretty pleased with the whole ted, barney, robin issue. sure it's not perfect…but you can tell how much they all mean to each other. Ted wants barney and robin to be happy together. and i'm sure after ted meets the mother, any left over feelings will drift away.
at least they dealt with it now and not have some big blow-up later. Hopefully it's over and we can move on!
I love that this was a very friendship related episode. we had the boys and of course…the girls.
haha. that was great! I love love love that they have Saturday brunch together!! but it made me sad when lily was talking to robin about being gone for a year! (I really hope lily and marshall stay in NY!)
Overall, good ep!!!
**P.S. New Theory** (spoilers)
-When we saw the flash forward to the train station where ted meets the mother, ted has a bandage on his hand like he got into a fight. I was always a little worried that he would fight with Barney…but after tonight, not so much. I think Barney and Ted are in a good place now. I do however think whatshisface from Karate Kid comes back after Ted and that's how he gets hurt! It seems like something they'd do. ;)
I'm excited to see how it all turns out!
Does anyone else have a theory about Ted? I'd love to hear em!
Can Marshall hurry up and get there already? !!
haha, god, i love Robin!
(Source: c-mines)
haha I love Robin!!
(Source: sweettasteofhimym, via sweettasteofhimym)
Why not just say goodbye to the bad things? Say goodbye to all the times you felt lost.
To all the times it was a no instead of a yes. To all the scrapes and bruises. To all the heartache. Say goodbye to everything you really want to do for the last time.
But don't go have one last scotch with Barney. Have the first scotch toasting Barney's new life. Because that's a good thing and the good things will always be here waiting for you.
HIMYM Last Time in New York
Get one last life lecture from Lily.

Hardly anything can tear me away from watching NBC's Thursday night lineup live, but this is definitely worth it. Who wants to go with me? Meghan's on board. Anyone else coming?david o'doherty UCB nyc comedians queue
Very rarely do I post something this serious minded but it's extremely important that it be read by as many people as possible. Also that it came from the presumably forward thinking alternative comedy community is especially of note.
Below are excerpts from the original post by Poupak Sepehri, audience member at the closing Asssscat of the recent UCB Del Close Marathon in NY.
I wanted to talk about ASSSSCAT, the show that closed the Del Close Marathon, a huge improv festival. During the show, comedians on stage invited audience members to tell a true story from their lives, and then improvised a set around it.
He started his story by saying that he is a cook/host at Second City in Chicago (justification#1 – he is supposedly part of the community). One evening, a very drunk (justification #2) and older (justification #3) woman was hitting on one of the waiters at Second City. This woman, who was from out of town (justification#4), gave her number to the waiter and asked him to call her (justification#5). The waiter, not interested, shared the story with the rest of the staff and practically forced this cook/host to take the number, even giving him money for the cab (justification#6) to show up at her hotel.
The woman opens the door to her hotel room thinking it was the waiter, but SURPRISE it's the cook/host. She immediately asks him to leave, but he finds some BS excuse to go get her cell phone so that he can call a friend to come pick him up since he doesn't have money for the taxi back (another murky part of the story). She goes to get her cell phone, and makes a HUGE mistake: she leaves the hotel room door open.
Halle Kiefer at Splitsider was also in attendance and shares her thoughts, which come from a more comedy insider perspective. Stephanie Streisand has also provided a first hand account and there is video of the monologue.
Thanks all, now back to your regularly scheduled Hollywood nonsense.

Red Wings lead NHL West All-Star voting

Henrik "Zäta" Zetterberg (born October 9, 1980) is a Swedish professional ice hockey center and alternate captain currently playing for the Detroit Red Wings of the National Hockey League, wearing the "A" during away games when Kris Draper is healthy (alternating with Draper, who wears the "A" during home games). Along with winning the Stanley Cup in 2008, Zetterberg won the Conn Smythe Trophy as the Most Valuable Player of the 2008 Stanley Cup Playoffs.
Zetterberg started out by playing his youth league games for the Njurunda Sports Club, as did Fredrik Modin. In the Swedish leagues, players were calling him Zetty the Grizzly Teddy, due to his facial hair. In 2008, the club renamed their arena—until then known as Njurunda Ishall—to Modin & Zetterberg-hallen in their honor.
Zetterberg caught the attention of the Red Wings' Assistant General Manager Jim Nill and Director of European Scouting Håkan Andersson during a tournament in Finland. While Andersson was trying to point out Mattias Weinhandl, Nill could not help noticing "this little Zetterberg guy who always seemed to have the puck."

I have often had occasion to remark the fortitude with which women sustain the most overwhelming reverses of fortune. Those disasters which break down the spirit of a man and prostrate him in the dust seem to call forth all the energies of the softer sex, and give such intrepidity and elevation to their character that at times it approaches to sublimity. Nothing can be more touching than to behold a soft and tender female, who had been all weakness and dependence and alive to every trivial roughness while treading the prosperous paths of life, suddenly rising in mental force to be the comforter and support of her husband under misfortune, and abiding with unshrinking firmness the bitterest blasts of adversity.

For Christmas, Katherine got me a poster designed by the amazingly talented artist and designer, Karen Hallion. I'd seen her work before, most notably the Disney Princess / Doctor mashups on Tumblr. I was so taken with what she was doing, and so surprised that she hadn't done a Rapunzel design that I got in touch with her and asked if she wanted to do one with DFTBA.
If these do well (and I imagine they will 'cause…damn) we'll hopefully work more with Karen in the future.
Here are the items on DFTBA (shirt - poster), and here's Karen's RedBubble if you want to see some of the other goose bump-inspiring stuff she's created.
(And I also love that DFTBA.com is becoming a way for great nerdy creators to get better royalties, which in turn leads to more great stuff.)

The batting-practice caps that the Braves will wear during Spring Training will not include the Indian head logo that stirred debate when a potential version of the hat was leaked in late December. Debate surrounding the hat began six weeks ago when Uni Watch leaked the Spring Training/batting-practice hats that each Major League club would use this year. The design for the Braves showed the front being adorned with the "screaming Indian head" that has been deemed by some as offensive to Native Americans.
While the "screaming Indian" logo was one of five proposed designs, the Braves said a decision on the design had not been made before the potential hats were leaked. "I like the selection we made this year," Braves president John Schuerholz said. "We had a variety of choices that we looked at, some more thoroughly than others. But at the end, we liked this one. The fact that one person somewhere offered his personal opinion about one of our options, that was important to him.
"When we made our decisions, we tried to contemplate. We tried to be creative. We tried to carry on the theme of our organization, and we think this script A does that. It is part of the continuum of the uniform look we have. We've never had one that looks like this during Spring Training." The Braves will wear the hats during Spring Training and while taking batting practice during the regular season.

VICTORIA, British Columbia (UPI) — Social networks are making us smarter, as learning from others can increase a society's average skill over successive generations, Canadian researchers suggest.
The ability of a society to imitate and learn, rather than individual smarts, may be why some cultures thrive and others disappear, scientists at the University of British Columbia said.
When people can observe and learn from a wider range of teachers, societies can better maintain technical skills and even increase the average skills of a group over successive generations, they said.
"This is the first study to demonstrate in a laboratory setting what archaeologists and evolutionary theorists have long suggested: that there is an important link between a society's sociality and the sophistication of its technology," UBC doctoral student in psychology Michael Muthukrishna said.
In the study, participants were asked to learn new skills — digital photo editing and knot-tying — then pass on what they learned to the next "generation" of participants.
The groups with greater access to experts accumulated significantly more skill than those with less access to teachers, the study found, and within 10 "generations" each member of the group with multiple mentors had stronger skills than the group limited to a single mentor.
Groups with greater access to experts also retained their skills much longer, sustaining higher levels of "cultural knowledge" over multiple generations, the researchers found.
The study has been published in the Proceedings of the Royal Academy: Biological Sciences.

PLAYERS: Manny Pacquiao, Timothy Bradley
Right here we have a heaping handful of Manny Pacquiao vs. Timothy Bradley preview videos from HBO and HBO Boxing. We have the official 24/7 Road to Pacquiao-Bradley preview and promo video clip, and we also have the promo for the Face Off with Max Kellerman sit down conversation. Then, we have a kind of fighter profile video for both Manny and Bradley. Have a seat and take a look. 24/7 Pacquiao-Bradley premiers tonight on HBO, and above is the official promo for the series that will take us into the camps of both men. Right here is the Face Off with Max Kellerman video. It lasts about six minutes and you'll see the guys sitting down, face to face, with one another to discuss their upcoming fight and how they think it's going to play out. The first video here is Ring Life with Manny Pacquiao, and the second one is Portrait of a Fighter, Timothy Bradley. So they're a bit different but they're both about getting to know the guys and taking a behind the scenes look...

My friend Jim Muir is being inducted into The National Skateboarding Hall of Fame alongside legends Steve Olson, Lance Mountain, and Natas Kaupas. I started skateboarding and listening to punk rock almost 30 years ago. I've been a Dogtown fan for a long time and I vividly remember the Muir brothers featured together in Thrasher Magazine in the 80's. In 2009 my friend Glen E. Friedman let me know about Jim's accident and neck injury and asked if I'd collaborate with him on a portrait of Jim to raise money for his medical expenses. Jim later asked if I'd be interested in putting the art I'd made based on Glen's photo on a run of boards and of course I loved the idea. Jim did an amazing job selecting the wood, building the shapes, airbrushing, hand screening, and lacquering the boards. The boards are all signed by Jim, Glen, and me. I'm very proud and grateful to be a part of this project. Congrats to Jim and the entire 2014 class of Skateboard Hall of Famers!
"Skateboarding opened the world up to me. Through it I have enjoyed a world of community and relationships that continue today. It is a great honor to be recognized by your peers and be Inducted into The Skateboarding Hall Of Fame 2014 class. To be included with my friends Steve Olson, Lance Mountain, and Natas Kaupas in the 2014 Induction is a recognition to celebrate and give homage to my fellow 2014 Hall of Famers!"

We will be releasing our remaining stock of Collaboration Skate Decks along with a few new colorways and they will all be available in Collectibles on Thursday May 15th at 10am. Click below for details.
On November 21st at 10am PST, a Limited Release of 75 Natural Maple Boards (Edition of 90) and 75 Custom Airbrushed Color Fade Boards (Edition of 90) will be on sale at OBEYGIANT.com. All boards are HANDMADE , SHAPED, and SCREEN PRINTED by Jim Muir. Signed and Numbered by Shepard Fairey, Glen E. Friedman, and Jim "Red Dog" Muir.
On March 09, 2009 I broke my neck surfing at Westwards Zuma Beach. Shortly thereafter the Skate and Art communities began to organize a benefit for me. Glen E. Friedman called to say that Shepard Fairey was going to create a limited edition poster stylizing one of Glen's photographs of me. The image was a Frontside Air at the Endless Wave Skate Park in Oxnard, CA in 1977. When the posters came out I framed one and hung it in my office. While looking at the poster one day I began to reminisce about the significance of the board I was riding. I thought to myself that Shepard's artwork would fit nicely on that board shape.
Starting in 1976 these boards were handmade by Wes Humpston and me. Wes would illustrate the boards with Marks-a-Lot pens making each board a unique art piece. The board from Glen's photo was one of the last handmade boards I rode. The shape evolved into the original Jim Muir "Red Dog Design" production board when Dogtown Skateboards debuted in 1978. The original 1978 "Red Dog Design" shape and graphic are still available today.
About a year and a half ago I made a sample run of 14 handmade replica "1977" backyard pool boards. I showed the boards to Shepard and suggested that he resize the poster art to the shape of the "1977" board for collaboration. Shepard agreed and I made a sample run of the 14 boards with the screen printed first generation art. When we showed Glen the work samples he added his input and Shepard finalized the second generation art which I then screen printed on this limited edition collaboration. During the production of the 14 artist samples, the "1977" board I rode in Glen's photo resurfaced and was given the name "The Lost Board".
Here are the details of the collaboration run. All the boards are handmade, true to detail of the 1977 "Lost Board", silk screened and finished by me. All of the boards are signed and numbered by Shepard Fairey, Glen E. Friedman, and me.

Ten Little Things
fanfic review by
Metz 77
Recommended, but with reservations
This fic is definitely excellent and worth a good night's read. At various times funny, moving, and sad, it does a good job of capturing the characters of Rowling's world.
However, there are a few small issues I have with it, primarily dealing with homogeneity. Every single character (with the sole exception of the asexual Rita Skeeter) is depicted as being straight, and all of them except the villains aspire to get married and have children. It gets a bit predictable and boring after a while. Also, around two-thirds of the way in, it starts to feel like the author was running out of steam a bit; the chapters start to feel very samey. It does pick up again towards the end, though.
If none of that fazes you, then you'll enjoy the fic a lot.
Er, Dumbledore and Grindelwald? Er. I can sort of agree with the 'sameness,' but I can't agree on that part.

Firefighters from Cornelius and surrounding communities spent about 3 1/2 hours early Saturday putting out and investigating a fire on Peninsula Cove Lane, in the Peninsula neighborhood.
Firefighters were called to the large residence at 18512 Peninsula Cove Lane around 11:45pm, according to Cornelius Fire Chief Jim Barbee. The first units to arrive found a working fire on lower floors, with heavy smoke. An initial investigation found that the fire had spread into the attic.
A Huntersville Fire Department report said the house had "significant fire damage on an outside patio area, an upstairs office area and the attic, however the home was saved." Firefighters didn't clear the scene until around 5 am.
One firefighter was injured treated on the scene. It took a total of 25 firefighters to put out the blaze and ensure no hot spots. Read the full story

Risk-Mitigation Strategies in Drug Manufacturing for Emerging Markets
Risk and reward. It is a balance that has to be achieved in any business endeavor and is of utmost importance for pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical companies managing their growth and manufacturing in emerging markets. Emerging markets are a crucial part of pharmaceutical companies' growth strategies, but in serving those markets, pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical manufacturers must align that strategy with partners that can facilitate access to local markets, manage complex supply chains, meet global and national regulatory standards for quality, and secure production for local as well as established markets in North America and Western Europe.

HoopsHype Tom Gores rumors
A meeting Thursday with Pistons owner Tom Gores finally confirmed Frank's ouster, after Gores offered very tepid public support of his coach when speaking to local reporters earlier this week. Frank was believed to be largely Gores' choice to replace John Kuester in the summer of 2011, although NBA coaching sources maintain that Pistons president Joe Dumars preferred current Knicks coach Mike Woodson for the job. ESPN.com
Frank has a three-year deal with an option for a fourth, but it's beginning to look dicey as to whether he will make his third season. A decision will come from owner Tom Gores at the end of the season. "I think at the end of the year we can assess everything, " Frank said. "I think right now, everyone associated with the Pistons can't be very proud of what we're doing. I know this, there are a lot of people who want to get this right and we will get it right." Detroit Free Press
The Detroit Pistons, whose average attendance ranks 29th among the NBA's 30 teams — above only the Sacramento Kings — are overhauling their approach to filling the seats at The Palace of Auburn Hills. Palace Sports & Entertainment officials say the days of free tickets and corporate-suite discounts, which bulked up crowds but did little for revenues, are gone. Under new owner Tom Gores, who bought the team in June 2011 for $365 million, the focus is on building value into ticket purchases through packages that include extra discounts, memorabilia and "experiences" that aren't available to secondary ticket buyers. They also are adjusting game prices, based on demand. Detroit News
This year, season-ticket holders received a key fob and Pistons jacket with an embedded chip in a sleeve that allows them to get 20 percent off food and drinks as well as 30 percent off merchandise in the Locker Room at the Palace. Fans purchasing certain packages receive a subscription to the Pistons' quarterly magazine and direct delivery of "inside access" videos about the team. Other lures include special team events such as a college draft party, game-night "Storyteller" receptions, summer golf outings and kids' basketball clinics with current and former Pistons players and coaches. "Those experiences don't happen with seats bought on the secondary market," Grigg said. Detroit News
Pistons owner Tom Gores and his wife, Holly, have put a house in gated Mulholland Estates near Beverly Hills, Calif., up for sale at $10.75 million. Custom built in 1992, the house features five fireplaces, six bedrooms and eight bathrooms in 11,107 square feet. There's also a saltwater swimming pool with a spa. The couple paid $4.595 million for the property in 1999. Detroit Free Press
Pistons owner Tom Gores isn't removing the pressure of the "We'd better make the playoffs" edict he issued at the end of last season, but it doesn't mean heads will roll if they end up back in the lottery. "We would like to make the playoffs," Gores said Wednesday night. "There's no ultimatum that says if you don't make the playoffs, you're gone. We don't work like that." Detroit News
The Detroit Pistons have released a promo video from their State of the Pistons event with season-ticket holders last week. An hour of the event will air on Fox Sports Detroit at 7 p.m. Thursday. In the teaser video, team owner Tom Gores says the Pistons are "lucky" to have Joe Dumars in the front office. "We might be able to figure out how to win and win big for one year, but that's not the point," Gores said. "The point is how do we deliver something that is genuine, that is real? "I think we're fortunate to have (Dumars) as a GM, because he wants to deliver that every single day." Detroit Free Press
Asked if he is willing to use the amnesty clause, which would require him to pay a player's contract and let that player go elsewhere, in exchange for the right to waive that contract for salary-cap purposes, Gores was non-committal. "It's a good question," he said. "I'm not sure, really. That's something that I'm going to leave to Joe, and his team. We're going to get Lawrence's input. Our goal, for the franchise, is to win a championship, but to do it the right way." Booth Newspapers
Team president Joe Dumars long enjoyed the support of the Davidson family, and he remains an icon of the franchise. But with new owner Tom Gores, whose influence was exerted early with the hiring of Frank over Dumars' preference, Mike Woodson, Joe D. is in a tough spot. CBSSports.com

The man who gave billionaire Detroit Pistons owner Tom Gores his start in the business world more than 30 years ago has died. Tom Joubran, a Flint-area businessman and Gores' uncle, died Friday at age 86 according to a story in The Flint Journal. Joubran gave Gores his first job stocking shelves at Tom's Market in tiny Genesee, Mich., a Flint suburb where Gores grew up after moving there from Israel as a child. Joubran owned the market as well as several other Flint-area businesses. "I'm very proud of him," Tom Joubran said last year when his nephew emerged as a front-runner to buy the Pistons. "My God, look at the guy right now. He's got thousands and thousands of people working for him. He used to tell me, 'Uncle, I'm going to be on the top of the world.' "Tommy, I'm just very proud of him." Booth Newspapers
A good chunk of the NBA's fandom may not remember this turn, but when the Detroit Pistons moved to the Palace of Auburn Hills at the start of the 1988-89 season, the move was heralded as the sort of switch that would convince free agents to want to be a part of the Pistons franchise. The Palace wasn't just nice by new stadium and/or expansion standards, but it set a precedent that a decade's worth of stadium creators would have no choice but to follow. Twenty-three years later, with the Pistons locked out and the stadium in bad need of an internal upgrade, new owner Tom Gores set to making the team's locker room pretty all over again: Yahoo! Sports
Gores, who bought the Palace Sports & Entertainment empire last summer, met with the media in a suite under The Palace stands shortly before Wednesday's 105-89 loss to Cleveland in home opener. He touched on a variety of topics that included former owner Bill Davidson, and his expectations and hope that the Pistons can help spark a rebirth for Detroit. "I want this to be an exciting place to be," said Gores, who was wearing jeans, an open-collar black shirt and a Piston-blue blazer while standing in front of a portrait of legendary former coach Chuck Daly as well as a picture of Isiah Thomas and Davidson celebrating the 1989 NBA Championship. Booth Newspapers
"I want Detroit to be an exciting place to be. We have the beginnings of that. In Detroit, we have some of the best people in the world. I'm grateful to be here and be a part of the city. Tonight is about celebrating Detroit and it's comeback. We're coming back. That's what we're doing. "I feel like I've been training for this my whole life. I grew up in sports. I grew up in Michigan. I feel like I am ready for this challenge to help Detroit come back." Booth Newspapers
Gores, who watched the game from the owner's suite at midcourt, is a Michigan State graduate who lives in Beverly Hills. He said he didn't know exactly how many games he would attend in person this season but promised to be involved with the club on a regular basis. He said he would be at The Palace whenever the Pistons need him and if he has to go down near the bench and high-five players during a game, that's what he will do. "There are many things I can do to impact the team," he said. "It's not the idea of just being seen. 'Hey, the owner's here.' It's the idea of making a difference every day. You have to be impactful. My impact shouldn't just be my presence. My impact should be present the whole year. "This team will play with pride and respect." Booth Newspapers
Vincent Goodwill: Gores: "I'm gonna be patient as long as there's progress being made." #Pistons Twitter

A coalition of businesses, professional and civil society organisations has reacted with dismay to the failure of Transport and Energy Ministers to agree on binding measures to achieve energy efficiency targets.Energy Ministers from across the EU meeting in Brussels on Friday recognised that the EU is not on track to meet its target to reduce energy use by 20% by 2020. Energy efficiency was agreed by Ministers to be the most important priority for Europe's Energy 2020 strategy, but they failed to agree strong measures to address the serious risk of a shortfall. Meeting the energy efficiency target will lower energy bills for consumers by €78 billion annually in 2020, save 560 Mt of CO2, reduce our dependence on imported energy, generate millions of valuable jobs and spur low- carbon competitiveness.
The newly established Coalition for Energy Savings has called for energy efficiency and energy savings to be at the heart of Europe's energy strategy as it endeavours to reach a secure, sustainable and competitive energy supply. The Coalition, a unified voice for the concerns of 20 business, professional, and civil society organisations, believes that much greater action is needed on energy efficiency and savings as a means of meeting the European Union's short and long-term economic, environmental and social challenges. Its members are advocating for policymakers on the European stage to make binding commitments supported by the necessary financial incentives and instruments aimed at achieving better demand management rather than focusing on securing and developing supply alone. The case for increasing energy efficiency has long been made; greater emphasis is now needed on how to make it happen.
The warning of a shortfall in progress towards the EU's 2020 energy goals was sounded at Friday's Transport, Telecommunications and Energy Council debate, where it was acknowledged that current projections show that only 9% savings will be achieved by 2020.
Environmental law organisation ClientEarth is one member of the Coalition for Energy Savings. Marta Toporek, environmental lawyer, says: ""The Council's nod today to the importance of energy efficiency now needs to be backed by effective action. Energy efficiency is the cleanest, safest, most cost-effective means of realizing the EU's ambitions for a cleaner energy future, but there is no time for inaction if the EU is to meet its targets for 2020. Energy efficiency and savings need to be top of the agenda for next February's European Council meeting on energy, where binding commitments need to be adopted to ensure efficiency is given the investment needed to fulfill its potential."
Amanda Afifi, Secretary General of EuroACE, another Coalition member, says: "It is essential that policymakers recognise energy efficiency's potential to act as the first and best energy source not just with rhetoric but with clear and mandatory targets. The coalition is calling for binding commitments on energy savings; without them, the EU's goals on security of supply, competitiveness and climate change cannot be met. The broad cross section represented by our Coalition is testament to the widespread support available to policymakers to make energy savings a public priority."
The decisions made at the European Summit next February will be key to Europe's future energy plans, and the Coalition for Energy Savings will be proposing urgent measures in the arena of energy savings which Europe's leaders need to adopt if these are to succeed.
