Thanks, JK, for alerting me to the game being on WGN! Since I'm still onsite at a client's location and might not get home for the start of the game, I just used my iPhone to program my DVR to record the game. Gotta love technology when it works🙂
Go SOX, get a win streak going, and take this division!
Two hours to game time and a Sox winner. I'll be WGNing it so will check back later…. Go Sox'09..j.k.
I'll be WGNing too – – but I've felt guilty for being fairly absent as of late. Just hope that Scott doesn't forget about us bloggers and go completely 'twitterpated' (for those of you that remember Bambi)
I will not make it to the end as I have to work tomorrow, but will be with you guys in spirit. Let's pick up an game tonight!!
Kris, refresh my memory on "twitterpated" Bambi is one of my fav movies and I can't place it.
Wow, I can't believe that I almost for got about the game! But, better late than never, right? Hopefully our boys can pull it off and start this series off on the right foot. Go White Sox!!!
Haha, way to go AJ and Paulie in getting us the lead back!! I'm off to bed, but hoping and praying that we can hold onto it for two more innings. Let's go Sox!!!
Tuning in just now. Yay faith discussion! lol Keep doin what you're doin boys, don't change on account of me!
Game just now got over and Sox win. The first base umpire tried to cheat us, but Bobby managed to get us out of what was looking scary.
Nice analogy about twitterpated, Kris. I hope not, but I expect that to happen at some point too.
Jen, think Flower ( the skunk).
One more time: good Win Sox. Now can we please win tomorrow and get back to 500?…. I think we can, I think we can, I think we can…. j.k.
Here's hoping we get Round 2 tonight. Keep playing tough guys. Go Gavin and Go White Sox!
Jen, to be more specific: Wise old Owl was telling adolescent Bambi, Thumper and Flower that they needed to watch out or they would become twitterpated when some "lovely young thing" strolled by. You start walking on air and BAM, you're twitterpated…. Something like that anyway. And speaking of anyway….
Go Gavin and go Sox'09. Win this one and we're back to 500….. Later all… j.k.
Happy birthday to Gordon and good luck to our guys tonight!!
Linebrink is a stud! He worked a scoreless 7th inning! That's good. Come on Boys, Batista is not a good pitcher, get to him and take this game. There's still time….. Go Sox'09.j.k.
It's still their starter, but we DID get a run by a HR from our possible ROY…. Go Sox…
Last chance, down 3-1…. Come on Boys, thrill us….. j.k.
Haha, a nice b-day present for him. Now we really need a heck of a ninth if we're gong to pull this off…
Oh, and btw, I hope that Gavin's okay.
We continue our win one, lose one series. Ten games now and counting…. We win tomorrow behind JohnnyD…… It was good to see JD and Rios get a couple hits and nice to see Line not give up any runs, but….. Will we get back to 500 this year?… Come on Sox'09…j.k.
Unusual start time for todays game; 3:40 PM. That's good news for those of you in Chicago (5:40), you'll be able to watch and cheer. I will be in Phoenix for the day, so I won't be able to root our Boys on to victory. I'll see you all later after we win today…. Go Sox'09..j.k.
Ah, it's nice to finally be able to see the boys play again. It's also nice to see we have a lead. But we can't stop at one, let's get more. Go White Sox!
PK's double would have been out at The Cell.
Atta boy, Kotsay!
Need a clutch hit, Pods.
For once the ball bounces the right way for us. 🙂 Atta boy Kotsay!
Hi Josh. I'm back from Phoenix and it's 3-0. You're doing a fine job. Keep it up Boys,…. j.k.
Hi JK. Hope your trip was okay. Let's bring home a winner. Go White Sox!
Alexei-Getz-Kotsay! DP! Let's put a few more on the board.
I'm gonna have to go back and watch the first 5 innings after the game is over, but it looks like JohnnyD is doing his job! Keep it up and go Sox'09….j.k.
Well, Beltre's homer does away with the shutout. Work hard Danks. Get these next two outs so we can get you more runs.
Way to fight back Danks. Now let's get some insurance guys.
That was quick. Let's get 3 before they get 2. No drama Jenks. Go White Sox!
Yeah, more runs would be good!!!! j.k.
Ok, let's get 3 before they get 1. 😦
2 to go.
1 to go.
Nice! Pitching over the lead off double. How about one or two runs just for the sake of insurance? Go Sox'09…j.k.
All righty, Big Bad Bobby's coming out. Let's go Sox!!!
Ick. Not a fun way to start things off; all Pods could do there was stand and look. Danks had a really good effort today, so lets hope Bobby can hold it from here on.
One to go…
Gah. Grrr. Arrrgghhh. *facepalm* Well, we're looking at extra innings if he can somehow hold it.
My internet cut out on me right after we got the 2nd out in the 9th. In a way, I'm kind of glad I didn't see the 2nd homerun. Let's dig deep guys. Go White Sox!
Hi Vickey, where you been? Come on Bobby, three up, three down…. Go Sox'09..j.k.
Didn't post the first two times, and now we're tied. I guess Danks needs to go NINE to get a win…… Come on Boys……
Still won't post, can we get it to the 11th?????
18 minutes ahead?? A new record… Go Sox
We only need 1 guys. Go White Sox!
Good start, Getz. Move him over Rios.
Hey there jk. Didn't get here till the last couple innings because I had my evening fitness classes.
Ok, let's go get 'em boys!
Yup, I'm with you there, Josh. If he doesn't win ROY, there is something seriously wrong.
Dare we hope that Dye can pull this off?
Hi Vicki. I must have missed you during my connection lapse.
We gotta hold them. Go Go White Sox!
Nope. Back to the grind.
Nice play Becks. He has matured well at third this season.
Come on Sox'09, Go home happy!!!! Now is the time. Go Sox, j.k.
Oh we really need a clutch hit right now!
Now we need a clutch out. Come on Williams…. and Go Sox'09….. j.k.
Lucky thirteenth!!!!! Go Sox…… j.k.
Dig deep guys. Go White Sox!
All we need is one run? Is that too much to ask for? This season, it apparently is.
We need to turn two.
All we need is one good out right about… now?
14 can be a lucky number, right?
Not lucky for us, hopefully it won't be for them either. We need the 14th…. Go Sox'09….j.k.
More no posting for me….. Top of 14th and top of our order coming up…. Get it DONE….. j.k.
"More no posting for me…"
We know it's been a long game when JK's dyslexia pops up. 🙂
*Oops. Actually, I think JK meant what he said. It's getting late for me too.
Tried to say that MLB wasn't allowing me to post, but now I'm worried for this game we should have already won…… If it's Line, please pitch well……….
Boy, are these silent bats sounding familiar. Been the story of our season to this point.
14 innings in Seattle again. I could make the Sleepless in Seattle joke but hey, it was an early start out there today so that doesn't really fit tonight does it?
Frustrating year. But when I think of Beckham and Getz, I feel a little better about what we have learned this year.
Whether we win or lose tonight:
Alex Rios is I believe now 5 for 81, that's right 5 for 81 since joining the SOX. Perhaps the worst hitter I have ever seen in a SOX uniform…….Bar none.
Yet again our over weight, over paid and supremely over confident drama queen bum of a closer has wasted another sterling performance by one of our starters and snatched no less than a tie and most probably a loss from an almost certain win. And please don't tell me that's why we play the games. Bill Hall couldn't hit worth a **** when he was on the North side, had 1 (that's right 1) HR coming into the ninth tonight and BJ throws a batting practice fastball that ends up in the seats. I've seen enough of this bum. My sincere hope is that next year Matt Thornton is given the closer's job and BJ is traded.
Linebrink has no chance in this inning.
And it ends in 14 in Seattle again.
Poor clutch hitting but this one falls on Jenks. He had a second chance to get the save and couldn't convert it.
The guys will certainly be happy to be heading home.
Yup, saw that coming a long ways away back in the bottom of the ninth. Night all. Have fun at the tweetup for those who are going and I'll be with you in spirit!
We got what I expected from Line………….. Later everybody, much later……. I'm done! Go Sox…..'10………j.k.
If Rios is the worst hitter you have seen in a Sox uniform, then you are either very young or just haven't seen enough games.
He's in a terrible slump but has been to the All Star Game twice so you have to give him more than the 81 at bats you noted.
And when was Bill Hall on the North Side? Unless you call I-94 in Milwaukee the North Side of Chicago???
And Jenks is severely underpaid right now. But even with a subpar season this year (and it has only been subpar in the last month or so), he'll be due a huge raise next year. That is why he might be traded. But only if someone is willing to give him the raise that arbitration will certainly award him.
So tell me who has ever donned a SOX uniform and is a worse hitter than Rios? This clown makes Joe Borchard look like an All Star. BTW during his slump he has made $1.1M, more than most people (and a lot of ball players) make in their lifetime. If he is such a great talent why did Toronto put him on waivers? Methinks they realized that they had given him a hugely inflated contract for 1-2 good years of performance and he was just showing up collecting paychecks.
Bill Hall has played his whole career (until this year) in Mil. Yes, I do consider the North side up I-94 to brew town. And yes, except for 06 Hall had an un-impressive career up there. And up until last night was having one in Seattle this year.
Finally, Jenks has 6 blown saves and 4 losses. These have not all come in the last month or so. Even if he converts only 60% of all these blown opportunities where does that put the SOX in this year's race? When outstanding closers in ML baseball are discussed, this bum's name never comes up. I don't wonder. I for one have seen enough of him and his drama.
I want to believe the things I hear from our leaders…. "We want to contend every year". "We'll be fine when the weather warms up". "Just wait for Carlos to come back and we'll be fine". " Our starters have the most quality starts of any staff in the AL". And my favorite one this year: " We have the best pen in the League" That from Hawk several times earlier this year.
I'm frustrated and disappointed like the rest of you. What I'm most tired about is all the comments from Kenny, Ozzie, Hawk and others that make it look like we have a team that can compete. On paper maybe, but not when it counts. At the start of the season this looked like a rebuilding year, but that notion was Poo-poohed by Kenny. So I went along. We all went along. Turned out that we were taken for a ride instead. Now this doesn't affect me too much since I'm in Tucson. But what about all you folks in the Chicago area? You may have spent hard earned dollars going to see games that turned out to be meaningless. Maybe that money you forked over should be rebated back to you for your support.
We've all heard that Ozzie wants to play "small ball". Fundamental baseball that will score us runs even when our big boppers are struggling. But we've heard this same story for the past four years, and now we're supposed to believe it for next spring training? I for one will believe it when I see it.
Like I said, I'm frustrated and disappointed. There's so much more I want to get off my chest, but we are down enough already, so I'll keep my peace. I hope we can win a couple games in a row and somehow finish the season over .500, but I doubt it. There is something missing from this group of guys we call our Team. Fix whatever it is so we can come back stronger next year…… Go Sox'10..j.k.
I'll address a couple of things from both Buster and jk.
First of all, to Buster. I am in agreement with you on Jenks. I won't go so far as to call him a bum, because he's had four-plus quality seasons out the 'pen for us which is longer than most quality closers last (other than freaks like Rivera and Eckersley). And the "drama" is not his. The "drama" comes from the fans and media who expect perfection from their closers. But, as I said, I agree that his effectiveness with the Sox is up and he should move on. Unfortunately, we could have gotten more for him a year ago but we can't look backwards.
As far as worse hitters, we've had the aforementioned Borchard, Luis Torrerro (who is now an average hitter in the Northern League), Ron Karkovice, Mike Caruso, George Foster (yes, he played for a month or two with the Sox in Hawk's year back in '86 and was brutal and totally washed up) and Sap Randall to name just a few.
Again, I'm not trying to defend Rios. He has been awful. But we have him signed long-term and have to make the best of it and hope that he can get himself back to being the kind of player that made two All-Star teams and hit us like we were throwing 16 inch softball size baseballs up to the plate.
And I agree that Bill Hall is not a great player. Never said he was. I only said that he never played for the Chicago National League ballclub.
And jk, like all the rest of the Sox fans I am disappointed. But I am not mad. I didn't expect this team to win the division. But I did think that, if relatively healthy, they could win 85 or 86 games. I certainly didn't expect the division to be as bad as it is. I though Cleveland was going to have a breakout year. Shows you how much I know.
And if fans were to demand rebates, then 22 franchises would be giving back a whole lot of money.
We aren't alone in our disappointment. I look for some new faces next year and hope to see some improvement.
If it were up to me, Dye would be gone and, for the right price, Quentin too. I like our infield and like our catching if Flowers will be ready by 2011. We're locked into Rios and Scotty Pods can't play a lot of defense but how do you not bring him back after the year he has had at the plate. Certainly, unless a true leadoff hitter is acquired, Pods has to be back.
The bullpen needs a real housecleaning. Keep Thornton, Carrasco, maybe Dotel and find all new ones either from the system or elsewhere.
The first four starters are solid. Give Freddy and others a chance to fight for the fifth spot.
The key, though, is to not dwell on the past but look at the present. Forget about what we did or didn't do this year and think about how we can win next year and the year after that.
Until Jerry makes a change, Kenny is the GM. And until Kenny makes a change, Ozzie is the manager. I don't worry about those two positions. They are not nearly as significant as the ones that take the field and swing the bats. GM's and managers are very overrated. Yes, good ones make a difference but they never win a title alone. Concentrate on the players and their performances and not the GM's trades or the manager's handling of the bullpen.
Okay, enough of my rant. Let's try to cool off KC. And as far as a winning season goes, sure it would be nice but in the big picture it really means absolutely nothing. How many people remember a final record in baseball??? all they remember is post-season appearances. If you don't play in October, there really is no difference between 82-80 and 79-83.
Where is everyone tonight? Kris wanted me to let everyone know her computer has been taken by the geek squad so she won't be on for a few days. She hasn't left us, just computerless. Let's get a win boys. we really could use some positive baseball vibes.

Tragedy strikes.
A black cloud hung over Sprint Car racing around the country last weekend after Jason Leffler died tragically from injuries suffered last Wednesday at Bridgeport Speedway. Something broke on Leffler's car exiting Turn 4 during a heat race, and his car veered head on into the wall. The car snapped around, and the driver's side hit the fence.
Outpouring support.
Leffler, 37, is survived by his 5-year-old son, Charlie. It was later released that the driver didn't have a life insurance policy. The racing community rallied over the last weekend, and it was reported that $11,000 had been raised for Charlie's education as of Sunday. The United States Auto Club (USAC) said it will match any money raised.
National attention.
Apparently, being a NASCAR driver still carries weight. Leffler raced in 423 events between Sprint Cup, Nationwide and the Truck Series and the national media has been all over his untimely death. Despite having little knowledge of Sprint Car racing, some of these news outlets have unjustly questioned the safety within the sport. Stay tuned.
Low car count.
The All Star Circuit of Champions toured Williams Grove and Lincoln Speedway Friday and Saturday and brought a meager field of seven cars. Tim Shaffer, Dale Blaney, Danny Holtgraver and Jac Haudenschild are big names, but track promoters may be forced to re-evaluate paying out a sanction fee to host this group.
Still shut out.
Speaking of the All Stars, the traveling group is now 0-for-28 against the central Pennsylvania regulars at Williams Grove Speedway. The travelers did manage to snag a pair of top-five finishes — that's a significant improvement over the norm — when Shaffer finished third and Blaney checked in with a fourth-place finish. Holtgraver was the next highest finisher in 16th.
Struggling to leading feature winner.
Danny Dietrich and the Gary Kauffman team couldn't crack the top five at the beginning of the season. Hard to believe that Dietrich has turned it around this fast and now leads the central Pennsylvania Sprint Car ranks in wins with five. The latest came when he downed the All Stars at Williams Grove. Fred Rahmer, Brent Marks and Brian Montieth have four wins apiece.
Dewease getting better.
A week ago, Lance Dewease indicated that the Mike Heffner-owned team is starting to find some speed in the car. It looked that way last weekend, as Dewease logged three top-five finishes. The Fayetteville driver placed second at Williams Grove, fourth at Lincoln and fifth at Susquehanna Speedway Park. Dewease has a string of five top-five finishes.
Another sweep.
For the second week in a row, the World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series weekend races were swept by one driver. Donny Schatz, a five-time series champion, bagged wins at Jackson Speedway and Knoxville Raceway — a place Schatz seems to own — to run his season total to a series best seven. He is second in the point standings, 137 behind Daryn Pittman.
Busy month kicking off.
All Star Ohio Sprint Car Speed Week kicks off Friday at Attica Raceway Park and features eight races in nine nights. Pennsylvania Sprint Car Speed Week starts June 28 and continues for nine races in 10 nights. Throw in The Kings Royal at Eldora Speedway (July 12-13), The Silver Cup at Lernerville (July 16) and the Summer Nationals at Williams Grove (July 19-20) and there is a lot money to be had in the next 30 days.
Still going.
The streak continues. Fred Rahmer has churned out 29 straight top 10 finishes — 21 of those are top-fives — in as many starts to open up the 2013 season. The Salfordville ace was ninth at Williams Grove Friday night, which is his worst finish since May 3 when he was ninth at the Grove. Rahmer will race at Williams Grove and Lincoln this week.

The 2012 session of the Iowa Legislature has to be considered a disappointment based on the failure to come to agreement on one issue.
That's the elusive commercial property tax relief package that Republicans and Democrats alike - in the split-control Legislature - had identified as their top priority in the early days of the session. It has been a priority in past sessions, as well. In fact it has been discussed and debated without coming to a reasonable conclusion for over three decades.
Leaders of the House and Senate met with Gov. Terry Branstad before the session adjourned in hopes of finding a compromise on a plan to reduce commercial property taxes while limiting growth for other property classes and providing state "backfill" money to cushion the potential loss of revenue to local governments.
An agreement could not be reached.
Later, Branstad said he would consider calling a special legislative session to pass a comprehensive property tax relief package if he and state legislators can work out a satisfactory compromise.
Senate Majority Leader Mike Gronstal, D-Council Bluffs, said he is willing to continue to work with the House and look for common ground.
However, the history of this issue, a polarized political climate and the fact that this is an election year are all working against that.
We have long known that commercial property taxes in Iowa are out of line with neighboring states. Iowa has the second highest commercial property tax rate in the nation. These are obvious hurdles to economic growth and the fostering of a business climate that could greatly benefit the state.
We know this is a tough issue. We don't want to see such a move eventually become a simple shifting of tax burdens to home property taxes. Efficiencies in local and state governments should be part of the equation.
Gridlock is alive and well in Iowa. Apparently, it's still too large of an obstacle for our legislators to overcome - even on the self-proclaimed No. 1 issue of the past session. Again, it has been caught up in partisan politics with elections looming.
While a special session would give us a glimmer of hope that this issue can be resolved, that hope is quickly waning. Again.

LANSING, MI — During his State of the State address, Gov. Rick Snyder moved seamlessly from energy policy and combating invasive species to a call for the federal government to pass a balanced budget amendment.
"We balance our budget at home," Snyder said. "We balance our budget at work. Why can't the federal government balance theirs?"
The idea would be to amend the U.S. Constitution to require the federal government to pass a balanced budget each year.
During his speech, the governor singled out Sen. Mike Green, R-Mayville, to lead the way on a joint resolution from the Michigan House and Senate demanding just that.
Green represents Michigan's 31st Senate District, which encompasses Huron, Tuscola, Sanilac, Bay and Arenac counties. He is no stranger to the idea of a federal balanced budget amendment.
Green sponsored just such a resolution, Senate Joint Resolution V, which was approved by the Michigan Senate in November 2013.
"I wholeheartedly agree with Gov. Snyder when he says that Michigan serves as an example for how the federal government can get its fiscal house in order," Green said during a speech at the resolution's introduction in October 2013.
The senator said Michigan's state constitution could serve as an example for how to amend the U.S. Constitution.
"This constitutional provision serves Michigan's taxpayers well and it would serve our nation just as well," Green said.
Green's proposed joint resolution, after being passed in a Senate vote along party lines (26-12), has been referred to the State House Committee on Financial Liability Reform. The resolution has yet to be considered by the committee.
After the governor's address, Green said he appreciates Snyder's support for his efforts to issue the joint resolution.
"If we are to fulfill our greatest potential as a state, we must force the federal government to follow Michigan's lead by budgeting responsibly and living within its means," he said.
If passed, Michigan's would join 20 other states seeking to force the issue with the federal government. Convening a convention to amend the U.S. Constitution requires such resolutions from 34 states.
If a constitutional convention were convened, 38 states would be required to ratify changes for them to take effect.

The conservative Wall Street Journal is taking aim at Obamacare once again, this time in light of President Obama pulling back on the employer mandate. In its lead editorial, the Journal notes that "ObamaCare is useful shorthand for the Affordable Care Act not least because the law increasingly means whatever President Obama says it does on any given day. His latest lawless rewrite arrived on Monday as the White House decided to delay the law's employer mandate for another year and in some cases maybe forever."
For its part, the White House is calling the administration's on-the-fly changes to the law transition relief. And it is claiming authority to do so under a section of the Internal Revenue Code that directs the Treasury secretary to "prescribe all needful rules and regulations for the enforcement" of tax obligations.
You will remember that Obama once denied that the healthcare law was a tax. But after the U.S. Supreme Court found the law Constitutional as a tax, the administration has been full-bore on the 'Obamacare as tax' narrative. Now it is using it again as a rationale to keep making changes to the law, years after it has been passed.
And as the Journal points out, these unilateral changes to Obamacare by the president probably aren't over: "Oh, and the Treasury also notes that, 'As these limited transition rules take effect, we will consider whether it is necessary to further extend any of them beyond 2015.' So the law may be suspended indefinitely if the White House feels like it."
So what do you think of the latest tweaks to Obamacare – a law on the books for years now – by a president who clearly intends to govern as he sees fit?
Tell us in the comments.

After a failed attempt to trade the left winger back on Dec. 2 to the Los Angeles Kings, Bruins' general manager Peter Chiarelli made sure the second attempt wouldn't fall through as Sturm was dealt for "future considerations."
"It's been in the works a little bit, part of it due to Marco's physical recovery. Really, that's the large part as to why we've delayed," explained Chiarelli. "Dealing with someone like Marco is difficult. He's obviously a really good person...but it helps us with our cap situation and as far as what we got in return, it was classified as 'future considerations,' but really it's nothing."
Sturm, 32, has been on injured reserve recovering from surgery to repair a torn ACL and MCL in his left knee suffered against the Philadelphia Flyers in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference semifinals last season.
There's been speculation as to what Boston might do when he was healthy enough to return back to the active roster because of the enforced salary cap. It's not surprising that Sturm was traded, but it's a bit surprising that the Bruins aren't receiving not even a conditional draft pick. But at this rate, it works out for the best for both clubs.
With Sturm gone, the lingering clouds of smoke have finally evaporated from the shocking trade of former Bruins' captain Joe Thornton in 2005.
Then general manager Mike O'Connell made the decision to trade the superstar captain, who was the No. 1 overall draft pick in 1997, which ultimately cost him his job.
At the time, the Bruins were playing their worst hockey with an 8-13-5 record after suffering a loss to New Jersey the night before. Thornton was criticized by the media and fans and questioned about his leadership role.
San Jose was no better as it sat with a 0-7-3 mark through a 10-game period, one of its worst stretches in franchise history.
The trade didn't shake up anything for the Bruins who finished last in the Northeast Conference that season with a 29-37-16 record for 74 points while Thornton wound up becoming the league's leading scorer in with 92 points in just 58 games as a Shark. Between both team's he combined with 125 points (29 goals, 96 assists). Since then he's followed up with four straight 85+ point seasons.
In March 2006, O'Connell was fired and Chiarelli was hired on May 26, 2006, but didn't officially start until July 8, 2006 due to commitments as an assistant general manager in Ottawa.
Chiarelli acted on reforming the team as he dealt Primeau and Stuart to the Calgary Flames for defensemen Andrew Ference and Chuck Kobasew on Feb. 10, 2007, which was part one of the Thornton trade cleansing. But Sturm was still hanging around and finished the 2006-07 season with 27 goals, 17 assists and a minus 44 rating.
There's no question that Marco Sturm isn't a top caliber player, but for the sake of the Bruins, he had to go. Once activated on the injured reserve, where would have Boston put him? Why would you move forwards Michael Ryder or Blake Wheeler down at this point during the season just to have Sturm come back unproven?
Just look at center Marc Savard who is trying to return to his natural skating form after six months from his post-concusson syndrome. Boston doesn't need two players on the ice like that.
It's not Sturm's fault, it's really all about the timing, and right now there's no place for him on this Bruins club who is competing with the Montreal Canadiens for the top spot in the Northeast Conference.
"It's another player that I think has given us a great service here over the years and it's unfortunate that he's run into so many serious injuries that's just kind of knocked him out of the game for long periods of time," said Bruins' head coach Claude Julien. "I think we could have used a player like him had it not been for the salary cap."
In the end, it may be a blessing in disguise for the Bruins who can finally move forward from the shocking acquisition that happened five seasons ago.

Kayak champion to visit Port Angeles
Sequim Gazette staff
Helen Wilson, Greenland National Kayaking Champion, visits Port Angeles on July 30 as she examines modern kayaking throughout the world and how ancient skills are becoming increasing popular using both traditional and modern equipment.
The talk, entitled, "Greenland Culture and the Kayak Championships," is open to the general public.
In recent years kayaking has grown in popularity throughout the world, although many people are unaware of the long history associated with it. Four thousand years ago people in the Arctic were using qajaqs for hunting and fishing. Their boats were extremely buoyant, made of seal skin and easy to self-right, even if turned over completely.
Rolling the qajaq was an essential self-rescue skill that was learned and used in case of a capsize. Various rolls were developed to handle any and all situations that might arise, from being entangled in fishing lines, to losing a paddle and needing to roll using hunting equipment; or using only hands or elbows to right oneself.
As the world changed, qajaqs weren't being used as much for survival and there developed a concern that the history and culture associated with the sport could be lost. This is why, in 1984, the Greenlanders started kayaking clubs in several regions in Greenland. Competitions are held yearly and include racing, harpoon throwing, rolling and rope gymnastics. The purpose of these competitions is to keep tradition alive and to teach the skills that the Greenlanders have used for so many years. The Greenland National Kayaking Championship takes place over the course of a week and all ages, from children to the elderly, compete.
In 2008, Wilson competed in this championship in Qaqortoq, Greenland, and again in 2010 in Nuuk, Greenland, receiving five medals in four disciplines.
Wilson is a sea kayaker out of Arcata, Calif. She specializes in traditional paddling skills using traditional equipment.
She performs rolling demonstrations, presentations and instructs at events worldwide.
Wilson has written skills articles for several publications, including Sea Kayaker magazine, The Masik and Ocean Paddler magazine, in which she has an ongoing feature.
In 2010, Wilson released an instructional DVD, "Simplifying the Roll with Helen Wilson," which is available worldwide.
She has instructed at more than 50 events and symposiums in the United States, Italy, Iceland, Sweden, Denmark, Canada, Israel, Norway, Estonia and Holland.
In the next year she plans to return to many of the same places, adding Wales, Japan, New Zealand and Australia to the list.
For more information about Wilson, visit, www.greenlandorbust.org.
On this trip, Wilson is accompanied by British native Mark Tozer, who was a paddler and active coach for 25 years. He has participated in and led expeditions to Norway, Iceland, Alaska, Greenland, Kenya, Ecuador, Tanzania and Morocco.
Tozer's exploits and activities can be followed at marktozer.blogspot.com.
Throughout the weekend of July 30-31, Wilson and Tozer will be conducting several rolling sessions. The classes are for those wanting to learn a first roll, learn another side roll or get a more consistent roll. For those interested in Greenland-style rolling, layback, forward finish, norsaq and hand rolls also can be covered.

USA – "DADT repeal opponents owe gay troops, veterans an apology"
Listening to those who were previously opposed to repealing the U.S. military's now-dead "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" (DADT) policy, one would think that the end of the world was imminent. Talk abounded of troops being "distracted" and losing limbs in Afghanistan, of morale and combat readiness plummeting, and of careerists leaving the armed forces in droves should that policy change make it through Congress or be imposed on the military by the courts.
In the end, both of those outcomes obtained. The federal court case on which I was proud to have served as the sole named veteran plaintiff on behalf of the Log Cabin Republicans got the DADT law declared unconstitutional, and a subsequent injunction barred enforcement of that law for a short period of time during the height of the debate over the law's repeal. Here in Washington, we issue advocates worked closely with congressional leaders to build support for and usher though repeal legislation that was finally signed by the president in December of 2010. Although the administration originally had a very different timeline in mind, they eventually came around and in a rare political "hail Mary pass in overtime" the DADT repeal bill was passed.
After seven more months of implementation preparation and training by the Defense Department and an additional sixty-day "congressional review period" negotiated into the legislation by the late Senator Byrd (D-W.Va.), the DADT law finally became history. Virtually nothing changed for the Defense Department overall, nor did anything change for the overwhelming majority of troops who are heterosexual. But something major changed for a small percentage of those serving in uniform – those who are gay and lesbian. They were finally able to go to work one year ago today without a cloud of fear hanging over their heads that they could be abruptly fired from their jobs if the wrong person happened to find out their secret. And finally, the hundreds of thousands of gay and lesbian veterans who had served under the cloud of DADT and its predecessor policies could feel some small amount of vindication.
Despite the predictions of doom and gloom by opponents, both internal and external assessments of the law's repeal on defense operations have shown that there has been virtually no negative impact as a result of this policy change. On a scale of 1-10, opponents predicted a catastrophic 11, and the reality turned out to be a yawn-inducing 0. Was this differential the result of severe errors in judgment on the part of honest opponents who were just genuinely concerned with the welfare of the armed forces and its members? Anyone who buys that should take a look at some gorgeous beachfront property I've got for sale in Arizona.
Speaking of Arizona, chief among the doom-predicting, gloom-projecting, apocalypse-forecasting opponents of the DADT law's repeal was Arizona Senator John McCain. Senator McCain used not only his strategic position as ranking member on the Senator Armed Services Committee, but also his venerable reputation as an experienced combat veteran and respected war hero to launch an all-out assault on repeal efforts. But the fight over the issue wasn't just about politics and policy; the vitriol spewed from the mouths of opponents, including Senator John McCain, about gay and lesbian service members was at times truly reprehensible.
The assumptions implicit in their arguments against repeal, the alleged behaviors they projected onto gay troops, and the distortions and lies propagated about homosexual Americans fueled their fires and fanned their flames. And even the claims and assumptions made about straight troops – namely their supposed inability to control themselves and behave professionally when presented with uncloseted gay co-workers – was infinitely insulting to them too.
There was plenty of evidence to suggest that these dire predictions would turn out to be wrong even before the gay ban was formally ended on this day last September, but since then we have had a full year to observe results. And while we may have seen an alleged "zombie apocalypse" during that time elsewhere, there has been no similar apocalypse within the armed forces. Therefore, those who led the charge and carried the banners for anti-repeal advocates should now step up, do the right thing, and apologize to gay troops and veterans for demonizing them and using them as proxies in their wider political and culture wars. And Senator McCain in particular should apologize to members of the gay military, veteran, and defense community for his wildly inaccurate and mean-spirited portrayals of them in his pre-repeal rhetoric as he led the ill-fated charge against ending "Don't Ask, Don't Tell."

Oktoberfest Week: The big one starts today!
Today is the first official day of Oktoberfest, and right now thousands of people are milling around Munich right now and the first keg has been tapped. (In fact, according to the official festival site, it's the 175th Oktoberfest. I wish I could say I planned Theme Week to coincide with such an anniversary, but it was all happenstance.)

Better Call Caravaggio
April 23, 2015 | by Matt Siegel
Vince Gilligan borrows from the Baroque.
The eldest character in Better Call Saul isn't Mike Ehrmantraut, Tuco's unsuspecting abuelita, or any of the nursing-home residents shakily spooning gelatin from attorney-branded dessert cups. It's the show's sixteenth-century lighting scheme, which has better lines than even Bob Odenkirk himself—they're just in the form of shadows rather than wry legalese.
In fact, while Saul's setting derives from the blue crystal "artwork" of Walter White and Jesse Pinkman, much of its symbolism draws from the black brushstrokes of Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio.
Saul's creators, Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould, have already confessed a soft spot for symbolism; they used a hot-and-cold color palette to divide the wardrobes of criminals and law-abiding citizens, with Jimmy bridging both worlds as he fights the temptation to break bad. These biblical undertones extend far past the fiery brimstone of Tuco's shirt and the heavenly hues of "Hamlin Blue"—they go all the way back to the Baroque era of painting. Read More »
Prince of Darkness
May 19, 2014 | by Dan Piepenbring
Gordon Willis, the cinematographer Entertainment Weekly has called "the closest thing Hollywood had to a Rembrandt," died yesterday, at eighty-two. Over the course of his remarkable career, Willis photographed Francis Ford Coppola's The Godfather—parts one, two, and three—and many of Woody Allen's most enduring films, such as Annie Hall, Manhattan, and The Purple Rose of Cairo. The A.V. Club writes, "His expressive use of warm-toned light and deep shadows—which led fellow cinematographer Conrad L. Hall to nickname him 'The Prince of Darkness'—left an indelible mark on cinema." And Variety quotes Roger Ebert's astute observations on Manhattan:
All of these locations and all of these songs would not have the effect they do without the widescreen black and white cinematography of Gordon Willis. This is one of the best-photographed movies ever made … Some of the scenes are famous just because of Willis' lighting. For example, the way Isaac and Mary walk through the observatory as if they're strolling among the stars or on the surface of the moon. Later, as their conversation gets a little lost, Willis daringly lets them disappear into darkness, and then finds them again with just a sliver of side-lighting.
"People don't understand the elegance of simplicity," Willis said once. "If you take a sophisticated idea, reduce it to the simplest possible terms so that it's accessible to everybody, and don't get simple mixed up with simplistic, it's how you mount and present something that makes it engaging."
Here are Manhattan's iconic bridge scene and an hour-long interview with Willis. Read More »

It was a wild and crazy day in Sunday's final round of the Honda Classic. It was a day in which Tiger Woods withdrew on the 13th hole because of back spasms and after shooting a 40 on the front nine; a day in which Russell Henley chunked a chip shot on the 18th hole in regulation and was able to laugh it off later.
It was a day in which 54-hole leader Rory McIlroy was at 13 under par for the tournament after the fifth hole Sunday and tapped in a birdie putt on 18 to put him at 8 under and in a playoff. It was a day in which a four-person playoff that could have gone on forever -- or at least until darkness took over -- lasted just one hole.
It was a day in which Henley, with a birdie on the par-5 18th hole on the first -- and as it turned out, only -- playoff hole to win the Honda Classic title.
Henley's 2-over-par 72 on Sunday would be good enough to put him in a four-player playoff with McIlroy, Russell Knox and Ryan Palmer. Of the four, only Palmer had an under-par scorecard on Sunday with a 1-under 69. McIlroy shot a 4-over 74 and Knox a 1-over 71.
Henley had a chance to win the tournament in regulation but a terrible chip shot on 18 came up well short of its mark and he settled for a par. It appeared McIlroy had shot himself out of the tournament with a double-bogey on 16 when he hit into the water and a follow-up bogey on 17. But he recovered with a 236-yard 5-wood shot on 18 to within 12 feet of the pin. His eagle putt just slipped by and he tapped in for birdie to join the rest in a playoff.
Henley would be the only player of the four in the playoff to reach the par-5 18th green in two. He two-putted from 40 feet away for a birdie. McIlroy's second shot landed in a back bunker and he chipped out and two-putted for par. Palmer had a 10-foot birdie putt and missed and Knox had a 20-foot birdie putt and missed.
Billy Hurley missed joining the playoff by one shot. He had a 69 on the day and finished at 7 under. David Hearn (67) and Will MacKenzie (70) tied at 6 under, with Sergio Garcia (67), David Lingmerth (70), Luke Donald (72) and Stuart Appleby (72) all finishing at 5 under.
A dozen players shot 4 under for the tournament, including Adam Scott, Keegan Bradley and Freddie Jacobsen.
Three players with connections to the state of Alabama made the cut, with Boo Weekley (71) finishing at 1 under, Graeme McDowell (71) at even par and Stewart Cink (76) at 2 over.

Keppra User Reviews
Keppra - User Reviews
Keppra User Reviews
Now you can gain knowledge and insight about a drug treatment with Patient Discussions.
Here is a collection of user reviews for the medication Keppra sorted by most helpful.
I was being weened off previous seizure meds assuming that my seizures would subside. Three weeks into my drug therapy, I began to have significant psychiatric issues, which is not my nature. I was put on 24 hr. suicide watch as I was vocalizing attempts at suicide. I was angry, hostile, and depressed. I do not recommened this to anyone without fully looking into it
Related Reading: suicide
My son took this medication for 4 months and started having "out of body experiences". The neurologist thought it was increased seizure activity so he increased the medication. My son turned into a zombie and could not remember how to turn on his computer. He lost his long term and short term memory and his grades plummeted from As to Ds because he could not remember how to write. We took him off the drug and he finally improved but he is still having trouble 3 years later with his memory. This is a horrible drug
Diagnosed w/ pyschomotor seizures @ 37 yrs old. Started out on Tegretol w/ limited results. Through the years have taken aux drugs...Lamictal, Topomax, Neurontin. These had bad side effects & my episodes were occurring anywhere between 4-10 per night. Daytime was controlled, but felt extremely tired during the day. I wonder how I kept my job and managed to live a normal life. Then came Keppra about 12 years ago & the other drugs were taken away. I have been seizure-free for this entire period on Keppra alone. I can't say enough about how wonderful it has been for me. I do feel tired and want to sleep. My wife thinks I have a hair trigger temper. My lifestyle has changed drastically with retirement (I'm now 63)yielding no workplace stress. In addition to enjoying life, I exercise about 2 hours a day. Bottom line, we are all different in the way meds affect us and it can be a long, grueling journey to find the right regimen. I also believe lifestyle can play a part in the therapy.
I have had seizures for 11 years now, and with two different generalizations. This medicine was prescribed to me during my junior year in high school, and although it started off normal, it did not reduce the amount of seizures I was having. I was taking 3000 mg of Keppra a day (that's no typo, folks!). By about my fourth month taking the medicine (probably second month completely weaned onto the medicine), I started experiencing one horrible serious side effect of this medicine -- depression. This went unnoticed for about four more months until my neurologist forced me to go to a psychologist and started weaning me off the Keppra (after realizing I was experiencing those feelings due to the medicine). That time period was probably the scariest experience during my life, and I really don't want others to have the same -- especially children. I'm so grateful that I was able to SURVIVE it.
My niece has been taking Keppra for the past 4 months. At first, we were so relieved to see the seizures stop that we did not notice the extreme behavior changes. She is only 4 years old and would act like a person with bi-polar disorder. One minute she is sweet and cuddly and the next she would be biting hitting and kicking. This medicine is not to be trusted.

Private Schools and Residential Choices: Accessibility, Mobility, and Welfare
Private schools free households from a strict link between residential location decisions and the tax-school quality bundles they consume. In order to study the impact of private schools on educational outcomes, we develop a general equilibrium model that simultaneously incorporates locational choice built on access and locational choice built on tax-school quality attributes of jurisdictions. We conclude that private school choice enhances the welfare of all households—both those attending private schools and those attending public schools—while also working to reduce the amount of housing and school segregation in equilibrium. Investigation of alternative school policies indicates that greater choice, including using targeted school vouchers, can improve welfare and achievement. Finally, we demonstrate how the fiscal burden arising from some households paying less taxes than they consume in public services varies significantly with the structure of school choice options.

Mass Effect movie totally happening
Developer BioWare has struck a deal with Legendary Pictures for a movie based on the role-playing series, with early speculation already being cast as to the film's writer, director, and other vital crew.
The Hollywood Report's HeatVision blog broke news of the deal, noting that the movie was in the earliest planning stages and has no tentative release window yet.
Series producer Casey Hudson will serve as an executive producer on the movie, which he claims is "perfectly suited to be a motion picture." Just like Super Mario Bros., Street Fighter, and Doom before it, right?
While the involvement of the game's producer is a positive sign, the recent cancellation or delay of other high profile game movies (Halo and Gears of War, anyone?) make the prospect of a Mass Effect flick a tenuous one. Even if does make it to theatres, do you think it will include the hidden Asari-Elcor sex scene from Mass Effect 2?

Fourteen observations and facts from "New Orleans Cuisine: Fourteen Signature Dishes and Their Histories, " a new book from the University of Mississippi Press ($29), edited by Susan Tucker:
-- Although no early 19th-century New Orleans gumbo recipes exist, documentation of its appearance on a menu can be found from the early 1800s. An 1803 report of a 12-hour party at which guests were served 24 gumbos shows the dish was already a local staple.
-- New Orleanians were probably among the first North Americans to taste bananas.
-- Southwestern France, the Italian Piedmont and Alsace-Lorraine, all areas of origin for early New Orleans immigrants, each had red kidney bean dishes.
-- Rice is intimately tied to West Africa, where it is still a dietary staple, and the slave trade. By 1721, thanks to the labor of 46 black and two Indian slaves, rice was growing of the Chapitoulas coast just north of New Orleans. Rice, which was likely to withstand heavy rains and floods that destroyed other crops, immediately became an important part of the diet of settlers and enslaved people.
-- In appearance and taste, Creole mustard is closer to the French Pommery Moutarde de Meaux than the milder brown Bordeaux-type mustard with sugar and herbs that is the German preference.
-- Molasses pie was a favorite recipe cited in early New Orleans cookbooks, and was a precursor to pecan pie, which doesn't appear in local cookbooks until the 1920s.
-- Mark Twain, Walt Whitman and Andrew Jackson patronized the Old Absinthe House bar at the corner of Bourbon and Bienville Streets.
-- By the mid-1850s, seasoned Croatian fishermen here worked out a dual method of fishing. They harvested natural reef oysters for cooking and canning, and cultivated oysters for raw half-shell consumption.
-- New Orleans is the only remaining outpost of European-style turtle soup.
-- Food historian Wavery Root claims the sea turtle "was so important for Gulf Coast Indians that it has been called the 'buffalo of the Caribbean.' "
-- "Heavy devil" is what riverboat cooks are said to have called bread pudding.
-- Cooling cut fruit was sold on summer nights in the Sicilian areas, a street custom that lasted until the 1960s.
-- For visitors to the 1884-85 World's Industrial and Cotton Centennial, two cookbooks were compiled and published: "The Creole Cookery Book" from the Christian Woman's Exchange and Lafcadio Hearn's "La Cuisine Creole."
-- Leidenheimer's owns both Reising and Angelo Gendusa Bakeries, and has added the bakeries' most popular breads to its production line.
On Monday at 6 p.m., Susan Tucker and contributors Michael Mizell-Nelson, Sharon Stallworth Nossiter, Patricia Kennedy Livingston, and Karen Trahan Leathem will sign copies of the book and speak at the Garden District Book Shop's Cookbook Club, 2727 Prytania St. You do not need to be a member to attend.
Sara Roahen, author of "Gumbo Tales," also wrote some of the book's essays. Leathem is museum historian at the Louisiana State Museum; Livingston writes for the Picayune; Mizell-Nelson is a University of New Orleans assistant professor of history. Nobles is a recent UNO graduate and writer; Nossiter is a former newspaper reporter. Tucker is an author, archivist and librarian at the Newcomb Center for Research on Women.
Culinarians are going to spend the next 100 years relying on this unusual book, which is the outgrowth of a project by the New Orleans Culinary History Group, a study group that has met since 1998.
The group held tastings and evaluations of the 14 dishes explored: the Sazerac, French bread, shrimp remoulade, oysters Rockefeller, daube glacee, turtle soup, gumbo, trout amandine, red beans and rice, mirliton and shrimp, Creole tomato salad, Creole cream cheese, bread pudding and cafe brulot.
The iconic dishes were chosen because they "tell the stages of adaptability, the centrality of public encounters with food, the passion for ingredients and talk of food, manners of serving, and social and economic forces that lie behind the way New Orleanians cook, " reads the book's opening essay. "They are symbolic of the social history of New Orleans."
A number of other knowledgeable local men and women well known in the local food world are part of the Culinary History Group, including Maureen Detweiler, Faun Fenderson, Kevin McCaffrey, Mildred Covert, Pat Gloriosa, Ann Maylie Bruce, Mary Tutwiler, Mary Ann Travis, Ann Travis, Beth Willinger, Gabe Mouledoux, Florence Jumonville, Dolores Martins de Barros, Phyllis Marquart, Poppy Tooker and Elizabeth Williams.
. . . . . . .
The chapter on shrimp remoulade concludes with two recipes. The red version, from "The Plantation Cookbook, " was preferred in a 2006 tasting.
Shrimp remoulade
½ cup chopped onions
¼ cup oil
½ cup tarragon vinegar
½ cup brown Creole mustard
2 teaspoons paprika
¼ teaspoon cayenne
2 teaspoons salt
2 medium cloves garlic, pressed
½ cup chopped green onion
5 cups shredded lettuce
2 pounds boiled, peeled shrimp
In a blender, place onions, oil, vinegar, mustard, paprika, pepper, salt and garlic. Blend 5 or 6 seconds, turn off, stir, blend another 5 or 6 seconds. Add green onions and blend for 2 seconds. Do not blend longer or you will have puree. Chill sauce overnight. Arrange beds of lettuce on salad plates, top with shrimp, and cover with chilled sauce.
. . . . . . .
The Culinary History Group also preferred this recipe it derived from Austin Leslie's "Chez Helene House of Good Food Cookbook."
White remoulade in the style of Chez Helene
Makes 6 servings
2 cups homemade or better store-bought mayonnaise
1 ½ cups chopped dill pickles
1 teaspoon prepared mustard
½ cup horseradish
1 teaspoon finely chopped parsley
½ teaspoon finely chopped garlic
Cayenne to taste
½ gallon boiling water
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons liquid crab boil
1 ½ pounds peeled shrimp
1 head shredded lettuce
For remoulade sauce, mix mayonnaise, pickles, mustard, horseradish, parsley, garlic and cayenne in bowl. Refrigerate. Add salt and crab boil to the boiling water. Add shrimp. When water returns to a boil and shrimp turn pink, remove and put shrimp directly into ice water to stop the cooking. Drain.
Divide the lettuce on six plates, top with shrimp and a generous amount of remoulade sauce.

Can I ask you the brand for the tandoori masala? I only find the tandoori masala paste in the grocery store which has a very strong flavor.

How can I make this recipe with fresh raw tuna? Would I need to add water in this recipe or maybe bake tuna first and then add it to the recipe? I normally avoid canned or packaged food and like to use fresh ingredients.

We suggest you sear the Tuna with a little oil (cooked but make sure it does not dry out) and then flake it and use it.

Thanks for this great recipe! I made it along with one of your rice dishes… we live on the Oregon coast so I used tuna that a friend had canned from fresh-caught last summer. It was perfect, nice to use high-quality tuna for such a tasty dish! I love your site, it's my only hope for Indian food.:)

Here is our response from the previous time you asked the question, reposting it incase you did not get it:
Hi Simi,
Most Chicken Curry dishes freeze well. Always make sure you freeze in an airtight container to avoid freezer burns. When defrosting, defrost well before heating so the chicken pieces do not break up.
As for Fish Curries, fish is a very delicate. You can freeze but you have to be very careful while re-heating.

Thanks for the awesome tuna recipe, and for your website. Indian food used to always be very daunting to me, but now I feel I know what to do. I'm American and my husband is Indian, and you have really helped me make food that he enjoys.
Thank you so much!

Hi Claire,
You just made our day! When we started SMTC, one of our biggest goals was to introduce Indian cuisine to non-Indians – basically make is so simple that anyone with or without prior experience can take on the challenge. You have just showed us that we are succeeding! Thanks a bunch for writing :).

Firefighters were called at 10:25 a.m. to the fire in the 7000 block of Dudley Road, near U.S. 223.
While they headed to the house, they learned one person might still be inside the structure, according to the statement from the Cambridge Township department, which covers Rome Township, a community without its own fire department.
When emergency personnel arrived, 75 percent of the structure was in flames. Firefighters entered the house and confirmed the woman had died, according to the statement. Cambridge Township fire Chief Scott Damon said he would not yet release the woman's name. He was not certain all her family had been notified.
She lived alone, he said.
Authorities from the township fire department and the Michigan State Police fire investigation unit determined a kerosene heater in an enclosed patio at the rear of the house caused the fire, according to the statement.
How it gave the flames their start still is under investigation, Damon said. Investigators are not sure whether the heater malfunctioned, was in too close proximity to other items or caused a fire in some other way.
All personnel left the house by 3 p.m.
Assisting the Cambridge Township Fire Department were firefighters from Madison and Adrian townships, Addison and Adrian.

Google and Cisco have the resources--and the head start--to lead the IT sector in energy management
The IT leaders have re-entered your home and business in a whole new way. Companies like Google and Cisco are providing the tools to help consumers and businesses monitor and manage their energy use to reduce carbon emissions.
So, how did this trend come about? And what does it mean for energy consumption in the U.S. and throughout the world?
The IT sector and energy management
Let's start at the beginning. A report published in 2008 by The Global e-Sustainability Initiative (GeSI) called SMART 2020 (pdf) provided a clear picture as to how the IT sector has a major role to play in reducing energy use, and as a result, reducing carbon emissions. This report is key in understanding the global business opportunity of the IT sector in transforming energy use and carbon mitigation.
The report had two major components; it quantified the direct emissions from IT products and services based on expected growth in the sector and it quantified where IT could "enable significant reductions of emissions" in terms of carbon emissions and cost savings.
One of the conclusions of the report was to identify (no real surprise) that the IT sector had a major role to play in improving energy efficiency in power transmission and distribution (T&D) in buildings and factories that demand power and in the use of transportation to deliver goods.
The GeSI report estimates that the entire IT sector could reduce approximately 7.8 gigatons of CO2 of emissions savings by 2020 or about 15 percent of emissions project by 2020.
So, the IT sector has a significant role to play in reducing energy use and carbon emissions, presenting an enormous business opportunity. Companies such as Google, Cisco and others are now focused on smart grid and smart buildings; your home and your office. Smart grid and smart buildings refer to the ability to monitor energy use and adjust based upon real time data, a two way exchange of energy information. For now, Google is focused on home energy management and Cisco on commercial energy management. However, considering the blurring of market boundaries, this may separation may change over time.
The new energy management products
The two most interesting developments currently are from Google and Cisco (full disclosure, Cisco is a client of DOMANI). Google has essentially bypassed the need for a smart meter by partnering with Energy Inc. to provide a home energy meter, which works with Google's energy management software. The Google PowerMeter and Energy Inc.'s TED 5000 (The Energy Detective) monitor energy use from a web browser or smart phone. The information from the system includes real time energy use and approximate cost, trends and comparisons to previous use.
Google is "everywhere" and now may become your trusted source for home energy management, in particular with Android entering the Smartphone market.
Now let's take a look at Cisco and their EnergyWise product (Cisco also has an Energywise calculator to quantify projected performance). According to Cisco, EnergyWise can:
- Monitor the power of all Cisco network-connected devices, from Power over Ethernet (PoE) devices to IP-enabled building controllers;
- Report aggregated power consumption to provide a clearer understanding of an organization's power-consumption habits;
- Optimize overall power usage based on user-created policies across the entire corporate infrastructure;
- Provide reports of current power conditions and suggest potential changes and;
- Regulate companywide energy consumption using scalable domain approach which brings IT and facility networks together.
Just like Google, Cisco is using the Internet to monitor and manage energy use.
We are quickly moving towards the ability to effectively manage energy use (and reduce carbon emissions) through the web or your smart phone (we still have a way to go before it is mainstream).
What will be next? Managing water resources (which we are also notoriously good at wasting)? Perhaps this is not very far off in the future.

ELIZABETH — A city man has been charged with having 160 packs of synthetic marijuana in his convenience store and another 150 packs in his apartment, authorities said today.
Acting Union County Prosecutor Grace Park said Shabib Al Ramadina, 39, was arrested earlier this week on multiple drug counts.
The arrest capped a two-month investigation into the alleged sale of the drug at Brothers Food Market on Spring Street in Elizabeth, Park said.
Police arrested Ramadina at the store, Park said, and he granted police permission to search the business, resulting in the discovery of 160 five-gram packs of the drug and seizure of $1,100 in cash.
Police subsequent received permission from Ramadina to search his apartment on Lexington Place in Elizabeth. There, police found another 150 packs of the drug, Park said.
In all, the drugs weighed about three pounds and had a street value of more than $6,200, Park said.
Ramadina is being held at the Union County jail.
Synthetic marijuana is often referred to as bath salts, herbal incense, jewelry cleaner, plant food, authorities said. When smoked, the material produces a marijuana-like high, but it has caused addiction, overdoses, and emergency room visits, authorities said.

About this font family
In the early 1980s, at the start of my career, I had the opportunity to work in a print shop with classic lead setting. In those days I would study issues of U&lc magazine from ITC. What really caught my attention were scripts in the Spencerian style. I've been fascinated by this American penmanship tradition ever since.
A few years ago I developed a font. Boris Bencic used it when he was redesigning L'Officiel magazine in Paris. I took these initial forms and developed them into the font Mommie when I started my own foundry. Although I usually design text typefaces, working on Mommie taught me how complex it can be to create a script headline font. The biggest challenge in this process has been to keep it alive and fresh. More…
