Vt. encourages more landowners to open to huntingNovember 06,2013State wants more
land for hunters
BENNINGTON The Vermont Department of Fish and Wildlife is encouraging landowners to make their properties available to hunters.
The department says amount of posted land has roughly doubled between 1971 and 2011, about 100,000 acres to between 200,000 and 230,000.
Hunting license sales have also been on the decline, from about 91,000 licenses sold in 1987 to about 73,500 in 2004.
Recent legislation has given landowners the option to use hunting by permission signs, which work similar to posted signs but are more inviting. The signs are still being worked on.MORE IN This Just In

Some macro bellows for 135 cameras have front swings and tilts. IIRC, at least couple offer them on back too.

City life
Brussels is the capital of Europe, but it wasn't always. Actually, Victor Hugo was amongst the first pro-Europeans who redeemed Brussels' geographical location ideal to be the capital of Europe.
You will encounter a strange mix of skyscrapers and small curving streets, of bourgeois and bohémien, of oui and non. It will get you lost, but it does so with everyone.
Brussels gives you what you expect from a real city: high buildings, busy traffic, an underground art scene, eccentric old ladies dressed in drag, bars on every corner, and a lot of love from the locals. Brussels is officially a bilingual city, which means that everywhere you go you'll see signs in French and in Dutch (and very often in English too). However, you'll find that most people in Brussels are native French speakers rather than Dutch speakers.
Here, in our belle Bruxelles you'll discover one of the greatest cities in Europe...
Brussels is a challenging city which you can explore endlessly, but you have to take some time to discover its true face. For a push in the right direction, take a look at the following pages:
- Brussels & me: information centres and useful websites
- Things to do, as suggested by your fellow students
- This is Belgium: helpful facts, opening hours and public transport
I am from Egypt and just graduated from the two-year Master in Computer Science, profile Artificial Intelligence (AI). I would definitely recommend this challenging programme to all graduate students who want to reach a high level of research. The diversity of courses also allowed me to grasp the essence of research in different disciplines. I had a great time in Brussels, learned so much and made friends from all over the world.
Yasmin Fathy
I am currently studying Computer Science, profile Web & Information Systems. I specifically chose this programme, because I wanted to get more experience and knowledge in the rapidly growing area of web technologies, methodologies and applications. The programme is demanding and it is not always easy to manage our time for the projects we are required to during the year. You need to manage your time well, but this prepares us for the pressure that comes with the job. We are also required to read a lot of papers and books. This helps to have an open mind, and helps you to realise there are so many recent technologies and there is so much research going on. I highly recommend this programme, even to some of the professors from my previous university.
Being an international student, from Indonesia, at VUB is truly one of the greatest experiences in my life so far. I made friends from different countries. We share and discuss not only things related to our study programme, but also about our cultures, food, languages, etc.
Yudha Yuki
I am from Vietnam, a beautiful country in South East Asia. After finishing my Bachelor's degree, I worked there as a software developer for three years. I was tired of the daily routine and repetitiveness of my job. This stimulated me to try to pursue a higher education degree and to go out and see the world. I chose VUB because it is in Brussels - the heart of Europe - and it warmly welcomes international students. The Computer Science program in VUB is more challenging than I expected, but that also means I have learned a lot. It gave me the opportunity to learn many new challenging paradigms and programming languages. The professors and teaching assistants are friendly and approachable, and they inspire me a lot.
Thu Huong Ly
I arrived in Brussels two years ago from Germany. My first time in Belgium. The aim was to finish my masters in Computer Science, but it was not easy in the beginning. That's why I entered the job market in Brussels and worked for a few months for a start-up, followed by an internship at an NGO.
After my internship, I decided to restart my studies. The profile of the VUB's Master in Computer Science looked promising. So, I decided to give it a shot. And I'm not disappointed. I like the focus on projects in a lot of the courses. I really feel that I am learning something, because I have the freedom to explore the scope of my studies independently while still being guided by the teaching staff. I can really see the application of computer science into practice, and that is what I like most of all!

64-bit Apple A7 processor is a "marketing gimmick" says QUALCOMM exec
When Apple unveiled its new iPhone 5S it excitedly grabbed the distinction of using the first 64-bit processor in a smartphone. It didn't take long for Samsung to step up and say that it would be using 64-bit processors and some of its future devices. Samsung hasn't offered any further details on when it might begin using 64-bit processors, but according to a QUALCOMM executive there may not be any real benefit to using them now.

VIDEO: Paul Rudd & Seth Rogen Tease Samsung Super Bowl Ad
Below, check out a 60-second 'teaser' ad in which actors Seth Rogen and Paul Rudd pitch ideas for a full-length Samsung Super Bowl ad to Mr. Show's Bob Odenkirk.
While the actors explain their idea for "The Next Big Thing," they are foiled by the threat of being sued for using the term "Super Bowl". Finally it is suggested that the words are replaced with the phrase, "El Plato Supremo."
According to Samsung, the full 2-minute spot will be released later this week. In a statement, Todd Pendleton, CMO of Samsung Mobile explained, "The anticipation of Super Bowl ads creates a unique consumer experience. The Next Big Thing campaign has allowed us the flexibility to tap into significant cultural moments and relevant conversations while showcasing our innovation."

It looks like that romance wasn't so bad after all. Less than twenty minutes into the 2010 Music Video Awards, pop icon Lady Gaga — Queen of the Little Monsters — added another jewel to her feathered-mohawk crown, when voters tapped her "Bad Romance" as Best Female Video of the Year.
"Thank you so much all my little monsters," 24-year-old Gaga said after she took the mic from presenter Ellen DeGeneres. "It's such a dream to be here tonight."
Gaga is nominated for no less than 13 Moonmen and she had already scored wins during the pre-show for Best Dance Music Video for "Bad Romance" and Best Collaboration Video for "Telephone," her collabo with Beyoncé.
In the Best Female Video category, "Bad Romance" was up against some tough competition: Beyoncé's fierce "Video Phone" extended remix (featuring Lady Gaga), Katy Perry's psychedelically saccharine "California Gurls," Ke$ha's infectious "Tik Tok" and Taylor Swift's pop/country ditty "Fifteen."
Gaga was nominated in the same category last year but lost out to Taylor Swift, whose win sparked the now-infamous Kanye West incident. The "Fame" singer also thanked the video's director, Francis Lawrence, producers, the late fashion designer Alexander McQueen, as well as the discharged veterans who accompanied her to the show.
"Tonight, little monsters we're the cool kids at the party," she said. Before teetering off the stage, she shared a few last words of gratitude: "Thank you to all the gays for remixing this video over and over."
Are you surprised by Gaga's win for Best Female Video? Tell us in the comments!

Photo of actual year not available
(a blend of 67% cabernet sauvignon, 29% merlot, and 4% petit verdot; represents 41% of the total estate production, which is 10% less than usual) Bright ruby. Knockout nose melds violet, red cherry, milk chocolate and menthol. Wonderfully concentrated and primary, with a soft texture and captivating inner-mouth perfume to the red cherry and mineral flavors. An impeccably balanced wine with impressive vinosity and grip. Finishes with sweet tannins and excellent length. This very dense wine is probably the best Pavillon Rouge ever made and is my candidate for the best second wine of the year along with Le Clarence of Haut-Brion. Pontallier believes this is the first Pavillon ever that can rate with some less successful Chateau Margaux bottlings of the past.Author: Ian D'Agata

Outstanding body. That ass is a work of art and that dick is just perfect for me. Sweet boy is just made for sin. I can feel those beautiful thighs around my waist and around my neck. Damn. I think he'd be a lot better looking if he grew his hair out a little to offset those ears. He honestly has great deatures but his ears sort of unbalance his face. Beautiful, hot, sexy man.

Liz Waldner
Born in Cleveland, Ohio, Liz Waldner was raised in rural Mississippi. She received a BA in philosophy and mathematics from St. John's College, and an MFA from the Iowa Writers' Workshop.
She wrote for eighteen years before her first book of poems, Homing Devices, was published in 1998 by O Books. Her second book, A Point Is That Which Has No Part (University of Iowa Press, 2000), received the 2000 James Laughlin Award and the 1999 Iowa Poetry Prize.
Since then, she has published several collections of poems, most recently Play (Lightful Press, 2009); Trust (Cleveland State University Press, 2009), winner of the Poetry Center Open Competition; Saving the Appearances (Ahsahta Press, 2004); Dark Would (the missing person) (University of Georgia Press, 2002) winner of the 2002 Contemporary Poetry Series; Etym(bi)ology (Omnidawn Press, 2002); and Self and Simulacra (2001), winner of the Alice James Books Beatrice Hawley Prize.
About Waldner's work, the poet Gillian Conoley has said, "Liz Waldner is a poet of high wit, high intelligence, and great musical rigor—she may be our Postmodern Metaphysical poet plummeting deeper and deeper with each book into the questions of self, sexuality, and knowing...." And the poet and critic Stephen Burt has said, "She has become one of the most convincing and most inspiring of our poets."
Waldner's honors include grants from the Massachusetts Cultural Council, the Boomerang Foundation, and the Barbara Deming Memorial Money for Women Fund. She has also received fellowships from the Vermont Studio Center, the Djerassi Foundation, and the MacDowell Colony.

"Clean, spacious and peaceful"
My wife and I are just back from Cabanas. Fantastic apartment. The photos don't do it justice. John and Una were very welcoming. We had a lovely quiet holiday in Cabanas, not a resort for anyone who wants nightclubs. The apartment is close to restaurants, bars and a lovely walk along the sea front. The complex itself has pools, a kids club, restaurants and a gym all set in beautiful grounds. Will definitely be going back next year. Highly recommended.

"A superb and entertaining paradise for the whole family."
To be honest the website pictures don't do this gorgeous spacious apartment justice. It has the feel of an Ikea show room about it, and it's O.C D clean, right down to the cutlery. There is also an uninteruppted view of Rio Formosa from the large balcony terrace. In terms of the facilities, the Golden Club has it all. The kids loved to go the Kids Club, whose premises is actually like a little school. It has a large staff of talented young people from all over the world, who not only delight the kids with games and crafts, but are also responsible for the nightly entertainment shows. Some might be a little cheesey for some, so take a five minute stroll to the Cabanas boardwalk and catch the great live acts in the likes of the Marina Bar. To break things up a bit, as this is the simple beauty of this place - you do as much as you like, take a 3 minute walk to the boat dock bay where you jump onto to a complimentary boat to scoot across the Lagoon to get to the Isle of Cabanas beach. Swim in the refeshing sea and stroll down to the other end of the beach for 5 to 10 minutes and have a cocktail at the beach bar's sunset parties. In conclusion, this is a fantatastic place and I have only being home a couple of days and have already booked the place for next year - and we are taking 3 weeks this time as there is so much you can see and do. Next year, I'm kite surfing, sea canoeing, gettin out on the bike more and playing more tennis and volleyball. Exploring more of the city of Tavira again and doing everything I did last year. Roll on 2013!!

"excellent vacation"
Travelled here with my husband and baby of 10 months in september 2011. would highly recommend it, very child friendly with lots to do within the complex. swimming pools were great, with lots of activities daily. Weather was glorious and Cabanas itself is a beautiful village with a great choice of fine restaurants, the board walk stretches the whole length of the village and is lovely to relax and unwind in the evening. The beach is also beautiful, miles and miles of glorious white sand and a great transfer service free of charge from the apartment complex. Overall I would highly recommend this complex for anyone thinking of travelling with young children.

"Great location- nice appartment"
We stayed one week in July. Nice, clean, well equipped appartment in a new part of the resort (the appartments in the old part seem to be a bit worn-out). Good contact (boonking, check--in and out and during stay) with the owner. The resort with pools, basketball, beach volleyball, tennis facilities, fitness. Nice beach accessible by FOC boat ( runs all the time during a day). We will certainly come back in the future.

Jacoby Ellsbury: Injury 'nothing of a concern'
|03.24.13 at 4:31 pm ET
CLEARWATER, Fla. — Though Jacoby Ellsbury undoubtedly left the Red Sox somewhat anxious when his right ankle started to "get real tight" after he jammed his heel into the first base bag on a catcher's pickoff attempt, the center fielder suggested after leaving the game that his injury was little cause for concern. Indeed, he'd been an advocate of simply taping up the ankle and staying in the contest — indeed, after initially suffering the injury in the first inning, he attempted a steal of second to test it out — but the Sox decided to pull him for precautionary reasons in the second inning.
Still, Ellsbury downplayed the significance of his injury.
"I just stepped on the base and kind of rolled my ankle a little bit," said Ellsbury. "It just got a little tight, but it's nothing of a concern. … The way I feel, I feel good about it."
While Ellsbury thus did not have a chance to anchor an outfield with Shane Victorino in right and Jackie Bradley Jr. in left, the Sox don't anticipate he'll be on the sidelines for long. Manager John Farrell said that he thinks Ellsbury, after sitting out of Monday's game in Sarasota and following Tuesday's off day, should be ready to play again by Wednesday.
"We took him out precautionarily, but with the jammed right heel, we'll evaluate him in the morning," said Farrell. "Hopefully this is nothing more than we get through the off-day on Tuesday. We're cautiously optimistic he'd be back in the lineup once we get past the off-day."
Ellsbury's departure resulted in Victorino moving from right to center. He immediately encountered his own injury, when Victorino raced back to straightaway center field on a Ryan Howard liner and made a spectacular catch while slamming into the wall.
"I don't know who won, me or the wall," said Victorino. "But I caught it. That's all that matters."
However, Victorino did later have an ice pack on his right wrist.
"Advantage: Wall," he clarified.

We heard a lot about TSA last fall, when the decision to install "enhanced" security technologies and more extensive searches left people asking whether full-body scans or pat-downs constituted an invasion of privacy, and whether the potential discomfort or embarrassment they might cause was worth the public security benefits. Many people alleged that the innovations were too uncomfortable and invasive, and questioned whether people truly consented when they bought their airline ticket.
The hubbub about scans and searches has mostly died down. But TSA continues to humiliate people as they go through airport security. A woman, Jean Weber, filed a complaint with the Department of Homeland Security, alleging that her 95-year-old mother was asked to remove her soiled adult diaper as security officials completed their pat-down. Weber's mother was flying to Michigan to be with her family during the last stages of leukemia, and was traveling through the airport in a wheelchair because she could not walk. She was detained and searched extensively, but during the search, officials say that "they felt something suspicious on (her mother's) leg and they couldn't determine what it was." They then asked the mother and daughter to leave, remove the mother's adult diaper, and return to complete the search.
Understandably, Weber and her mother described the 45-minute ordeal as traumatic. "Here is my mother, 95 years old, 105 pounds, barely able to stand, and then this," said Weber. But TSA defended its employees' actions.
"Wheelchairs trigger certain protocols, including pat-downs and possible swabbing for explosives," said Sari Koshetz, a spokeswoman for TSA. "The TSA works with passengers to resolve any security alarms in a respectful and sensitive manner."
Weber, however, wants less invasive security methods for elderly people who are unable to walk through the security gates. "Nobody should feel the way I felt that day," she explained. "I'm not angry. The rules need to be changed."
Protecting air travelers is one thing, but did security officials really need to humiliate a 95-year-old cancer patient and her daughter? This situation is far more clear-cut than debates over pat-downs and full-body scans: for people who are elderly or infirm, there need to be different rules, or at least machines that are capable of determining that even though a wheelchair is made of metal, it is not an explosive.
After all, as Weber said, "I'm not one to make waves, but dadgummit, this is wrong. People need to know. Next time it could be you."

Oh, here we go again! Scott, please give the nonsense a rest. Really getting boring reading your somehow "secret" knowledge of conspiracies and inside information that refutes everything else. This article needs to die a natural death.......it's old.
The underwear bomber was a farce. Please look at the facts. The young man involved was drugged and his handler a 50 year old sharply dressed Indian man, who lots of witnesses said was a very bizarre match suddenly vanishes without a trace. He took the 'bomber' onto the plane saying that this man needs to get on the plane but he doesnt have a passport. The stewardess told them that he cannot get on the plane without one and he said it's ok, they do this all the time. There was another odd guy stood up videoing the bomber the whole time. I am beginning to think there are no such things as terrorists and that they are all false flag staged events. Every 'terrorist' event that you research turns out to be faked. Take a look. Pick any one of them.
You never know. Remember the underwear bomber.
Complete violation of privacy.
Thanks. I knew Charles was next, unfortunately. What a DORK. I thought there was a sister who was next after him......Anne? Who cares, actually. I think William is a good guy, so too bad he couldn't be next.
@ Diane L. William is 2d in line, 1st is Prince Charles, Williams Father, eldest offspring of Elizabeth II.
Chris, I doubt that the X-rays (body scans) are excessive to the point of causing birth defects in the first place. You assume way too much. It's also my understanding that William is not the "future" King....he's actually 3rd or 4th in line? Who cares. They also probably did NOT fly commercially. Don't you think they have a private plane?
William and Kate wowed the crowds in Cailfornia. Hmph - bet they never had an abusive pat-down or a genital fondle - like hands down their underclothes. Yeah - I bet they never had a full body cancer-causing x-ray to get into the States. Imagine the future King & Queen of England producing a deformed heir to the throne caused by an over-dose of x-rays at LA Airport. But why weren't they accorded the same abusive treatment as other Americans and Brits? If they are so 'down to earth' as reported in the gushing press, why were they not treated the same as us?
As a home care worker, I can assure everyone that the elderly don't want problems with people, especially at that age. They would rather be humiliated in public by being strip searched than to cause trouble and deal with possibly getting angry people to push them around, or arrested, etc... And at that age, being a cancer patient, they don't have the energy... They're more like 5 year olds that way with their innocence.
I guess I will never understand why people want to put frail old ladies through the rigmarole like this... It's just because they "saw a mass" in the crotch area, they felt compelled to strip search... Too bad it wasn't a turd, just saying...
Just because the TSA workers "are just doing their jobs" doesn't mean I agree with that procedure. Now, if they have CNA's or Personal Care Workers doing that job, maybe it's not that bad, because it's a sensitive thing to perform. Many of the adult diapers won't close after you've unfastened them. Adult pull ups aka disposable underwear have to be ripped at the sides to have a look, unless you want to transfer them to a bed, roll her over, take her pants down or lift her dress all the way up...
It's just elderly people don't fight with it because they were raised NOT to question authority. Me being the rebel I am, well... I guess that's why it's better if TSA workers were better able to determine who would or wouldn't be the type to hijack the plane. Just remember, in this country, you're INNOCENT til

93. Disable Disk Defragmenter Schedule
With Windows Vista you have probably noticed that:
- You no longer have a graphical display when running Disk Defragmenter.
- Now Disk Defragmenter runs on a set weekly schedule.
The loss of the graphical display is by default and there isn't anything that you can actually do about that, other than running an alternative disk defragmentation application.
Disabling disk defragmenter so that it doesn't run on a schedule, however, is a simpler nut to crack; and here's how it's done.
1/ Click the Start button.
2/ In the Search box at the bottom of the Start menu type: Defrag
3/ Vista will search for the word Defrag and should quickly come up with Disk Defragmenter in it's search results. This you should see at the top of search result page on the start menu.
4/ Click on the Disk Defragmenter option in the search results.
5/ User Account Control will open and ask for permission to continue. As usual, if you are the Administrator, Click the Continue button. If you are not the administrator then you will need the administrator user name and password to continue.
6/ The Disk Defragmenter window will now open.
7/ Look in the first section of the disk defragmenter window and you will see an option marked Run on schedule (recommended).
8/ To the Left of this option you will see a box with a Tick inside it.
9/ Hover your Mouse over the box and then Click the Left Mouse button to remove the tick (check mark).
10/ All of the schedule information will now appear greyed out. You have now disabled the option.
11/ Finally Click the OK button to Close the Disk Defragmenter window.
12/ You will now only be able to manually run disk defragmenter, it will no longer run to a set schedule.

HQ candids of Mischa at Reebok's New Jukari Fit to Fly in LA have been uploaded. These are from the same day as the candids posted of Mischa at Yogurtland. Doesn't she look as amazing when training as she does in a shoot?
A couple of weeks ago we reported on a new film that Mischa Barton's set to star in titled "The Science of Cool". In the film, two teenagers, the biggest science geeks in school, come upon a formula which can transform nerds into studs.
The writer of the film, Eric Goren, dropped us a line offering to answer any questions we may have considering the project.
According to Goren, Barton is playing "one of the female leads, Jane, who is a girl who is teased and picked on for being "too plain", Jeremy Sumpter (Friday Night Lights) who will playing the role of the nerdy Neil Tobbler, who is the leading male character who "by accident" discovers a formula in science class which transforms geeks into studs."
The scribe also says Masiela Luscha ("The George Lopez Show"), Kiely Williams ("The Cheetah Girls"), and Jessie Cave ("Harry Potter" series), among others, are also in talks.
"We are also in talks with a number of very popular actors and actresses from TV shows such as Gossip Girl and 90210, and many A list actors from the big screen that everyone in the world will recognize. Tamara Tunie, our director, will be possibly acting in The Science of Cool too."
Eric Goren and Patricia Goren penned this project and Carlucci Weyant and Eric Goren from Double Helix Entertainment producing the picture. A Summer '09 startdate is planned.
It's that time of year again! Cast your vote in FHM's 100 Sexiest Women in the World List. Mischa has been part of the list each year since 2005, so let's see how high up we can get her on the list this year.
Scans from the April 2009 issue of Glamour Germany have been uploaded. Huge thanks to the amazing Lillinka for contributing!
New candids uploaded of Mischa in Los Angeles at Yogurtland from March 20th. Her body is insaneee in these shots, imo. She's looking superb.
Candids of Mischa with friend in an old Vintage yellow truck in Hollywood have been added. The agencies are claiming that this guy is Mischa's new boyfriend. I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Has the regionalization strategy succeeded in sustaining Singapore's competitiveness in Asia for the Period from 1995 to 2010| AAG 104 – Singapore in Asia essay Assignment|
Programme: BSc (EDU)Semester 2, AY2010/2011Lim Soon WeiU1060143D8th March 2011| |
Singapore has been one of the most competitive countries in the world for the past 15 years. This can be attributed to the strong interventionist state strategies implemented to ensure that Singapore was able to compete on the international stage as well as with its competitive Asian neighbors such as Malaysia, Indonesia, India, China and Vietnam. This essay would firstly identify the challenges to Singapore's competiveness and the rationalization of the 1993 Regionalization strategy. Secondly, this essay would examine the different aims of sub-programmes implemented and evaluate their intended impacts to Singapore's drive to sustain economic competitiveness. Lastly, there would be an overall evaluation of the successfulness of Singapore's Regionalization strategy by examining some Key Performance Indicators such as GDP, GNI to gauge the Regionalization Strategy contribution in sustaining the competitiveness of Singapore.
Challenges to the competitiveness of Singapore in the 1990's Singapore's competitiveness is described by Toh and Tan as (1998, p. 9) "the ability of [Singapore] to achieve sustained high rates of growth in the GDP per capita on the basis of suitable policies, institutions and other economical characteristics". In order to sustain Singapore's GDP growth, Singapore had in her early stages of development, embarked on policies which emphasized on the liberation of Singapore's economy, attraction of Foreign Direct Investments(FDI), political stability, labour regulations and infrastructure (Toh & Tan, 1998, p. 20). This had helped Singapore to be one of the most attractive countries in the world for MNCs. However, since the early 1990's, Singapore's...

About PKU
PKU, a genetic disorder affecting approximately 50,000 diagnosed patients in the developed world, is caused by a deficiency of the enzyme phenylalanine hydroxylase. PAH is required for the metabolism of phenylalanine, an essential amino acid found in most protein-containing foods. If the active enzyme is not present in sufficient quantities, Phe accumulates to abnormally high levels in the blood and becomes toxic to the brain, resulting in a variety of complications including severe mental retardation and brain damage, mental illness, seizures, tremors, and limited cognitive ability. As a result of newborn screening efforts implemented in the 1960s and early 1970s, virtually all PKU patients under the age of 40 in developed countries have been diagnosed at birth. Currently, PKU can only be managed by a Phe-restricted diet, which is supplemented by nutritional replacement products, like formulas and specially-manufactured foods; however, the strict diet is difficult for most patients to adhere to the extent needed for achieving adequate control of blood Phe levels. To learn more about PKU, please visit http://www.PKU.com. Information on this website is not incorporated by reference into this press release.

Not too much to report today, seeing the Wolves don't play till tomorrow night. Hopefully that nice little two day break gave them enough time to harness that momentum and beat the Miami Heat with a good showing tomorrow night. Here are today's Wolf Tracks:
Timberwolf Tracks:
- Patience of all Wolves fans, players and front office management have run dry but more-so in the case of the owner, Glen Taylor. He can't wait to get his chance to pounce on the off-season.
"We're going to start meeting immediately at the end of the season to put the opportunities in place to improve this team next year," Taylor said. "We have a lot of them. We have the opportunities for our draft (currently three first-round picks); we'll see what (lottery) positions we get.
"We'll have the opportunity to look at other players, and possibly trades if we feel that will help our team.
"So (management) is going to be really active and we're going to start really early to prepare ourselves. We have a lot of work to do; I'm excited about working with the guys on that."
- Phase II of the "Run With the Pack" Campaign, engage!
- The Bleacher Report ponders whether the three-headed monster — Al Jefferson, Kevin Love and Darko Milicic — can coincide with each other and become a dominating rotation in the league for possibly years to come.
- Now I thought this was real interesting. Here is the new — and blunt — ad campaign for the Timberwolves:
Opinions? I would love to hear what you guys think.
Truehoop Tracks:
- Last night during the Nuggets game, "Birdman" Chris Andersen went to his back on the floor after rolling his ankle. The real mystery comes from this mysterious nugget of gold that landed in his mouth when being attended to. Anyone have any ideas of what it may be?
- Reality television can now lie to rest upon the conclusion of Ron Artest's up-and-coming show "They Call Me Crazy". My reality-show watching days will soon be over and in a peaceful state after watching Mr. Artest make a fool of himself — hopefully.
Other Tracks:
- A few guys, Al-Farouq Aminu and Cole Aldrich, have declared for the 2010 NBA Draft.
- Two guys are still undecided whether they will leave their respective NCAA teams for the NBA. Both John Wall and Evan Turner are still skeptical… That is until they see the dollar signs! $$$

Rated 4.9 out of 5 by 9 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by AZ2014 It really Glows. This Lantern is absolutely beautiful at night when the flower cut outs glow. I have had several "so called solar" lanterns but this one puts all the rest to shame. The price was excellent and if it came in more colors I would buy them all. April 13, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by HolidayGroupie Love this lantern!!! This lantern is so cute, and works great! It is also a good value, since you don't have to put out extra for a candle. The solar part is such a good idea, but I also like that it is easily removable if I want to add a candle now--or if it quits working someday. I have two yellow and two of the red ones on my patio area, and they all look nice and charge well, even on cloudy days (the yellow is much brighter). They are also very sturdy, having survived an unexpected hailstorm with nary a scratch! I highly recommend!!! May 17, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by DoDiB Solar Lantern Very pretty lantern, both during the day and at night when lighted. The yellow color is bright and cheerful and the lantern is a substantial weight. I have mine hanging on a shepherd's hook. Love it. Quality piece that will be used for many years. I only wish it was available in more colors. May 23, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by TNT1 Very Pretty! Beautiful glow at night, pretty yellow/gold color, nice accent to outdoor space. June 12, 2014

The national system of energy intensity indicators presented on this website is intended to reflect to the degree possible underlying changes in energy efficiency throughout the U.S. economy. As part of that effort, the system also seeks to measure the changes in energy intensity that are the result of other explanatory factors unrelated to efficiency improvement. One example of such an explanatory factor is the shift from steel to electronics manufacturing that influences the aggregate energy intensity for manufacturing , but is not indicative of improvements in energy efficiency.
An often used measure of improvement in energy efficiency in the entire economy is to compute the ratio of energy use to gross domestic product (GDP). This indicator has serious shortcomings as it incorporates myriad factors unrelated to energy efficiency changes, as well as the fact that a major portion of energy use in the economy—that used by residential household—does not have a corresponding measure of output included in GDP. As a consequence, the system of energy intensity indicators here provides a more robust measure of changes in energy intensity that are associated with improvements in the efficient use of energy. While this new indicator of energy intensity for the economy as a whole is not a perfect measure of how energy efficiency has improved, it comes much closer to capturing the influence of efficiency changes than does a measure based only upon a simple ratio of energy to overall GDP.
This page highlights the major changes in the overall energy intensity for the U.S., as well as summarizing changes in energy intensity for major sectors.
Figure H1 below reports total energy use, GDP, and two alternative indexes to reflect overall changes in U.S. energy intensity, the first based on the energy-GDP ratio, and the second built up as part of the DOE-EERE system of energy intensity indicators.
Figure H1. Energy Use, GDP, and Energy Intensity Indexes, 1950-2011
Energy intensity indexes for each of the four end-use sectors (transportation, industrial, residential, and commercial) are shown in Figure H2 below. Note that the electricity-producing sector is not shown in this graphic, because the generation and transmission losses associated with the production of electricity by the utility sector have been allocated to the end-use sectors; in other words, these graphics use source energy, rather than delivered energy (see Terminology and Definitions). In this case, energy intensity in the commercial sector was about 8% higher in 2011 than it was in 1985, but the trend shows falling energy intensity over the last decade. Energy intensity in the residential sector has declined by about 9% over the same period. The decline in energy intensity was greatest in the industrial sector, falling by 19% over the 1985-2011. During the same period, the energy intensity of the transportation sector declined by 17%. More complete discussions of the trends in energy consumption, activity, and the energy intensity indexes for these sectors can be obtained by selecting any of the following: residential, commercial, industrial, transportation, and the electric power sector.
Figure H2. Source energy intensity indexes by major end-use sector, 1970-2011 (adjusted for improvements in electricity generation and transmission efficiency)
The following table summarizes the percentage changes in the energy intensity indexes since 1985 for the major aggregate sectors. In addition, the right-most column shows the change in the overall energy intensity for the electric power sector, where energy intensity reflects changes in the amount of energy (in British thermal units, Btu) per kilowatt-hour of electricity generation. The decline in this intensity index has occurred almost entirely since 2000.
More complete discussions of the trends in energy consumption, activity, and (source) energy intensity indexes for these sectors can be obtained by selecting any of the following: residential, commercial, industrial, transportation, or the electric power sector. Summary comparisons of the changes in energy intensity using alternative definitions of energy (i.e. delivered energy and source energy with and without the adjustment for changes electricity generation efficiency) can be found here. Complete information related to the indexes for all three definitions of energy can be obtained from the downloadable spreadsheet available from trend data.
Table H1. Percentage Change in Intensity Indexes for Major Sectors, 1985-2011
Summary of Intensity Changes for Aggregate Sectors, 1985-2011
Note: This information applies to the four end-use sectors shown above, and includes electricity losses attributed to each of these sectors. For purposes of constructing the energy intensity indexes based on source energy, changes in the efficiency of electricity generation have also been removed. The end-use sector unaffected by the adjustments is the transportation sector, which uses so little electricity that losses are too small to notice.
Figure H3 displays a decomposition of the economywide energy intensity index into the separate contributions from the four major end-use sectors as compared to the electric power sector. The methodology used to construct the energy intensity indicators can be employed to make an exact accounting between these separate influences. In essence, the contribution from the electric power sector incorporates the reduction in the ratio of electricity losses in generation and transmission to the quantity of electricity sold to end users.
The key result is that from 1985 to 2011 reductions in (source) energy intensity in the end-use sectors contributed to about a 12% reduction in the economywide intensity index, and improvements in electric generation efficiency contributed another 2% to the decline in that index. The sum of these two percentage changes is equal to the total percentage reduction in intensity shown in Figure H1. (The product of these two index elements is exactly equal to the economywide index above.) The improvements in overall electricity generation efficiency in the past decade are responsible for about 15% of the total intensity changes since 1985. More discussion of developments in the electric power sector can be found here.
