Our earliest experiences with the vending industry included several interviews with executives of leading machine manufacturers, back in the late 1960s. One of them raised a question that we have pondered ever since: "What is the '10th vending product?"
The rationale for this question was that the full-line vending industry, as it had developed over the preceding decade or so, had found ways to deliver an increasing number of popular consumable items: chewing gum, confections, cigarettes, milk, ice cream, soft drinks, hot beverages, hot canned soups and entrees, and refrigerated food.
As the product mix widened, vending's market did, too, as it added the ability to provide anything from a snack through a coffee break to a complete meal, at any hour of the day or night. The question, then, seemed to be: what else does almost every adult consume regularly that could be sold through vending machines, but wasn't?
The next three decades demonstrated that there certainly were popular products that could be sold through vending machines: pantyhose, motor oil and prepaid telephone cards, to mention only a few. It might be argued that bagged snacks, which were very difficult to vend until the end of the decade, were the "tenth product" -- but, of course, cigarettes were lost, postmix soft drinks have dwindled away and hot canned food has become a subcategory. However, we've added frozen foods and a tremendous variety of packaged cold beverages.
Over the decades, the real story has not been the emergence of a whole new vendible product category, but rather the emergence of machine designs capable of dispensing an ever-wider variety of items that consumers want. When the search for the "tenth product" was under way, most of the nine core products were sold through purpose-built machines. Candy machines offered a few columns of cookies and crackers, and cold-food machines could be stocked with some packaged cold beverages, but that was about it.
Vending's move into the retailing mainstream is worth thinking about, because it is not yet complete. From one perspective, the evolution of today's versatile combination venders paralleled the shift from the variety of retail outlets common at the start of the 20th Century to today's supermarkets and "big-box" discount department stores. From another, the turning-point came when the glassfront snack machine became available to full-line operators in the early 1970s. But both of those developments were responses to shifts in consumer demand, as well as advances in food processing and distribution.
This also was true in vending. Glassfront machine designs date back to the 1950s (at least). The type did not find favor with the pioneers of the full-line revolution, because they served a clientele that was satisfied with a few national brands and a few regional ones. And there was no real demand for single-serve bags of chips until the late '60s.
The standard vending model also envisioned a location in which hundreds of people would hit the vending area during defined break periods. Having a variety of machines served to sort out that crowd of customers by their specific desires, and thus saved time. As workforces became smaller and less regimented, however, fewer and more versatile machines were wanted.
So the challenge, as it turned out, was not to find something new to vend, but to find ways of vending a fast-evolving variety of products in packages of different sizes and shapes, at different prices. Meeting that challenge called not only for machines that were more "intelligent" than their mechanical predecessors, but also for the extension of that "intelligence" to the operator's office. The process of equipping machines to keep track of individual item sales, and of tying them into information networks, has been ongoing since the mid-1970s. It shows no signs of slowing down.
A difficulty about new technology is that it often is put to use by experienced, skillful people who (naturally enough) regard it as a replacement for a familiar tool. It takes time to perceive the new things that can be done with it, and even its developers may not be able to predict what they will be.
The "intelligence" in vending machines has evolved from simple mechanical logic distributed throughout the apparatus through logic consolidated into the pricing system to logic residing on a circuit board controlled by a microprocessor. It now seems to be migrating still farther, to a remote server (or the "cloud" about which we are hearing so much). Some operators already are asking why they can't adjust a machine's price settings remotely, or change the combination of its lock. And the potential of a vending machine as a vehicle for actively engaging individual customers is receiving informed and imaginative study.
The question of what else we might be selling thus has become, over five decades, what else might we be doing? The vending machine can be more than a point of sale, and can find wider applications. We're sure it will, and we look forward to finding out what they will be.

"Only if you're doing something wrong should you worry, and then you don't deserve to keep it private."
Daniel Solove tackled this argument in 2011. As he points out, people making this argument misconstrue many aspects about what constitutes (personal) security and privacy.
"This issue isn't about what information people want to hide but about the power and the structure of government."
Thus, how much a government knows and monitors is indicative of that country's governance. Our inability to know what they're collecting, how they're viewing this data and what they're deducing from it should be our main concern. It is Kafkaesque as well as Orwellian, though it is because of the former that we should actually be concerned. [Read more…]

Mavericks' first-round draft pick Shane Larkin expected to miss three months after right-ankle surgery
Dallas Mavericks' first-round draft pick Shane Larkin underwent surgery Tuesday to repair a fractured right ankle, the team announced in a news release.
He's expected to be sidelined for about three months.
Larkin sustained the injury July 12 in the last practice before the team flew to Las Vegas for summer league games.
Dallas acquired the draft rights to Larkin, the18th overall pick in the 2013 NBA Draft, from Atlanta in a draft night deal that sent Jared Cunningham and the draft rights to the 16th overall pick Lucas Nogueira to the Hawks.
Larkin (5-11, 176) led the Miami Hurricanes to the Atlantic Coast Conference regular season and postseason championships last season en route to being named the ACC Player of the Year, ACC Tournament MVP, Lute Olsen National Player of the Year and Second Team All-American by Associated Press.

Just for reference I'm about a high 4.0 player, playing 2 hours a day 4-5 days a week. The thing is, my strings last me usually at least two months. I just read that they should be changed like every 10 hours or so though, which would be insanely different for me. What are the pros/cons to changing/waiting with regards to strings? And dunno if it matters but I have I MSV co-focus strings and a PDR.

DNR forestry budget gets attention of timber industry
BEMIDJI, Minn. — The timber industry is taking an interest in how much the state Legislature appropriates to forest management.
Although the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources has been operating with about 100 fewer foresters than it had just a few years ago, the department still has consistently produced about 800,000 cords of wood a year. That number is a general marker of what's needed to help sustain the timber industry.
But that output would have decreased significantly under Gov. Mark Dayton's original budget proposal issued in January, industry representatives said. The additional $2 million per year proposed in that budget wouldn't have been enough to cover decreases in other DNR forestry funds, said Wayne Brandt, executive vice president of the Minnesota Timber Producers Association.
"The previously proposed level would have caused (the DNR) to reduce their timber sale offerings by 200,000 to 250,000 cords a year," Brandt said. "We think that would have had a very, very significant negative impact."
But in his revised budget released last month, Dayton appropriated $8 million more for forest management than it was forecast to receive in the next two years.
"If we get that, that will allow us to hire a number of new foresters," said Dave Thomas, the DNR's northwest regional forestry manager. "We're struggling to get out 800,000 cords per year with the limited amount of staff we've got right now."
In fiscal year 2008-09, the forest management department received $71.6 million in general fund expenditures. That has been reduced to $38.4 million in the 2012-13 fiscal year.
At the same time, the department has seen decreases in the forest management investment account, which is funded by revenues from wood sales, making it subject to market and natural forces outside the control of lawmakers.
Craig Schmid, the DNR's deputy forestry director, said wood prices have been split in about half since the recession hit, and the department had to sell timber from blowdown areas last year. That damaged timber sells for about a third of what it would normally.
Dayton's revised budget proposal would help the DNR cover losses in the forest management investment account and continue to put out the 800,000 cords of wood per year, Schmid said.
To keep wood outputs steady with a smaller staff, Schmid said the forestry division has streamlined operations to focus on producing timber, fire prevention and planting trees.
"We're getting about 15 retirements a year," Schmid said. "And we've gotten to the point where we wouldn't be able to offer that 800,000 cords of timber. We just don't have enough people left to do it.
"And the forest industry, they obviously perk up when they hear that," Schmid added.
Public landowners like the Department of Natural Resources have become important to the timber industry. Since prices have dropped in recent years, some private landowners have been reluctant to sell wood in hopes that prices rise again, Brandt said.
"The lack of availability of private wood has been the reason why the public wood has been so important to us," Brandt said.
With that vital source of timber in mind, representatives of the Bemidji Area Forestry Affairs Council and their colleagues from Grand Rapids traveled to the Capitol last month for the first time as a group.
Pete Aube, a member of the Bemidji area council, said legislators were receptive to their presentation.
"It was very candid and open," Aube said. "I think everyone felt that it was a day well-spent."

Despite going into its third-year of existence, the MLS Re-Entry process still leaves plenty of folks scratching their heads every December. I'll try to explain the ins and outs ahead of today's Stage One Draft...
What is it?
The Re-Entry Process is confusing because its also unique in terms of North American sport. The idea came as a compromise to help settle the latest Collect Bargaining Agreement in early 2010.
In essence, the Re-Entry Process is Major League Soccer's form of free agency, allowing players that meet certain requirements the opportunity to test the waters of moving to another team. Prior to the signing of the current CBA, teams still held league rights to players that were out of contract, meaning that in order for a player to move, a team would need to waive his rights or a trade would have to occur.
Under the new terms, players that have played a minimum of three years in MLS and are at least 23 years of age are eligible for the annual Re-Entry process should their current team decline their option or if they're out of contract. Full eligibility requirements for players can be found in Section II.G here.
There are two stages to the Re-Entry Process, each with different caveats...
Explaining Stage One
Thursday night MLS released the final list of players eligible for Stage One of the 2012 Re-Entry Process set for Friday at 2 p.m. CT. Prior to the release, players had up until 4 p.m. CT Thursday to opt out of the draft.
This was the case for Gonzalo Segares, who re-signed with the club on Thursday. With that transaction, two Fire players, midfielder Corben Bone and goalkeeper Jay Nolly, remained on the list of 52 players eligible for selection.
UPDATE: As of 1:30 p.m. CT, Fire defender Dan Gargan was added to the Stage One Re-Entry list by the league.
Teams that pick players at Stage One on Friday must exercise the option (pick up the player's salary), or in the case of out of contract players, extend a Bona Fide Offer to, the player. If the player rejects the offer, the drafting club will hold the right of first refusal for that player in MLS (the player's league rights). Teams may not select their own players in Stage One of the Re-Entry Draft.
Held via conference call, generally Stage One of the Re-Entry Process is a quick affair, with only five players having been selected in the previous two stages combined. This is generally because of the first caveat above, by which a team must pick up the salary of a player's whose option hae been declined (the majority of players available fall under this category).
Players that are not selected in Stage One are then able to come back to the table with their club and negotiate up until a second blackout period begins on Thursday, December 13 at 4 p.m. CT.
After passing through the first stage of Re-Entry in 2010, Jovan Kirovski re-negotiated his contract to stay with the LA Galaxy another season, prior to Stage Two.
Expaining Stage Two
This is where the magic happens as Stage Two of the Re-Entry Process is one of the biggest days of player movement within the league every year.
In 2010, 11 players were chosen in Stage Two while 10 were take in 2011.
Set for next Friday, December 14 at 2 p.m. CT, players that are selected in Stage Two can negotiate a new salary with the team that has chosen them. As long as that salary is deemed as a genuine offer by MLS, the team retains the player's league rights.
A genuine offer must be placed within seven days of selection, though a signing doesn't necessarily need to happen in that time as negotiations can continue.
A team is eliminated from Stage Two once they pass on their turn. A team can only select it's own player once all other clubs have passed on that player.
Players that pass through both stages of the Re-Entry process are deemed free agents and available on a first-come, first-served basis to all MLS teams.
Fire History in the Re-Entry Process
The Fire have selected two players through the Re-Entry Process and both had different cases.
In 2011, the Fire picked forward Kheli Dube, also from New England but the Zimbabwean forward didn't sign a contract with the club until late January as the two parties negotiated terms of the deal.
The team has also had two players selected from it in the Re-Entry Process.
In 2011, the Fire saw midfielder Baggio Husidic and goalkeeper Jon Conway chosen in Stage Two by the Colorado Rapids and LA Galaxy respectively. Neither player signed with those clubs as Husidic elected to sign for Swedish side Hammarby while Conway announced his retirement.

Development and growth of new tissue proves to be successful
Researchers have released a new report showing the first successful
use of cell-depleted lung
in order to naturally create a new
rat lung
from embryonic stem cells.
Joaquin Cortiella, MD, MPH, along with his research team members from Stanford University, University of Texas Medical Branch, Duke University and Brown Medical School, published their findings, a paper titled
"Influence of Acellular Natural Lung Matrix on Murine Embryonic Stem
Cell Differentiation and Tissue Formation"
Tissue Engineering
, Part A.
Most cell and tissue types can be made and matured from embryonic
stem cells
(ESC's) as long as they're in the proper setting with appropriate chemical signals that allow them to differentiate into certain cell types, eventually constructing 3-dimensional tissue structures. But other forms of synthetic tissue matrices are now required in order for this kind of technology to flourish.
"Organ-specific extracellular matrices, properly prepared, are serving more and more as the appropriate structural scaffold for the recapitulation of a specific organ's tissues," said Peter C. Johnson, MD, Vice President of Research and Development for Avery Medical Products, and Co-Editor-in-Chief of
Tissue Engineering.
"This turns out to be especially true in an organ such as the lung, whose parenchyma must have a structure that accommodates atmospheric gas transmission as well as
, lymphatic and neural systems."
Cellular components were removed from natural lung tissue in order to make the natural growth matrix for ESC's. Making and
using an acellular rat lung
as a biological matrix "for differentiating ESC's into lung tissue" provided evidence of repopulation of the matrix, improved cell retention and differentiation into specific cell types within the lung. In addition, the development and maturation of of the cells into 3-dimensional complex tissues were reported, and according to researchers, lung tissue growth is progressing normally and is producing the correct chemical signals to continue development.
"We found that a combination of mechanical, enzymatic and physical processes provided the most efficient and gentle way to remove the cells from the underlying lung ECM without significant loss of collagen or elastin, the major components of the natural lung," the authors wrote. "The production and use of decellularized lung to support development of lung tissue may lead to design of better synthetic matrices for clinical use and to the eventual production of engineered lung tissues on matrices that are suitable for regenerative medicine purposes."
"Let's face it, we're not changing the world. We're building a product that helps people buy more crap - and watch porn." -- Seagate CEO Bill Watkins

BTC REPORTS: At the Crossroads: Recommendations for the Future of Transportation in North Carolina
By Steve Jackson
North Carolina's transportation budget is in crisis. Massive increases in road-construction costs over the last five years have precipitated a comprehensive re-examination of transportation revenues and expenditures in the state.
Costs have risen by well over 40% in the last four years and are outstripping growth in revenue designated for transportation. For example, the fastest growing source of transportation revenue, the motor fuel tax or "gas tax," grew about 20% less than the construction inflation rate between 2003 and 2006. Other sources, such as vehicle registrations and the Highway Use tax grew by under 10%, or less than one-quarter as fast as construction costs.
This report offers recommendations on revenue, on expenditure priorities, and on how expenditure priorities are determined.

Beyonce hopes doc inspires Blue Ivy
Beyonce is hoping that her ultra-revealing documentary will one day provide inspiration for her daughter Blue Ivy.
"I hope that she will see all of the beautiful times (and) all the tough times that led up to her being here," the singer said at the New York premiere of her upcoming HBO documentary Life Is But A Dream.
She added: "I'm hoping that ... it can comfort her and inspire her in her life when she needs it."
The autobiographical film takes a no-holds-barred look at the entertainer, who is married to fellow music megastar Jay-Z. It stems from personal conversations the 31-year old singer made using the video camera on her computer over the past couple of years. It also includes home movies of the Grammy-winning singer and her two sisters.
In the film, Beyonce candidly discusses personal matters like her miscarriage, reports of faking her pregnancy, and firing her father as her manager.
She claims the process of talking into a camera to get all her thoughts out was therapeutic.
"I really grew so much," she said of the process. "This movie has really been my therapy. I've healed from so many wounds and I've been able to understand why some of the things I've been through, why I went through, so I feel really proud, and hopefully I can inspire other people."
The singer has been private about her life in the past. But she felt the time was right to let people know how she felt.
"I felt that after 16 years of being a public singer, people didn't know who I was," she admitted. But then she added: "I will always keep certain things to myself because it's only natural."
Oprah Winfrey made a surprise visit to the premiere, and posed with Beyonce on the red carpet. Before going into the Ziegfeld Theatre, Oprah, known for her tough, results-driven interview style, was asked if this was the kind of story she would have done on Beyonce. She said Beyonce did a "much better job" of telling her own story. "I wouldn't have been in the bedroom and in the closet and in the car and on vacation," she said.

History's impostors inspire modern bureaucracyJanuary 8, 2013 in Other Sciences / Other
"Identity theft" seems a uniquely 21st-century crime, and is very common in the contemporary world. But in a new book, Prof. Miriam Eliav-Feldon of Tel Aviv University's Department of History observes that identity theft and associated fraud have deep historical roots. From royal pretenders to women masquerading as men and those who resort to fraud to conceal their religious faith, history is brimming with stories of impostors. The battle between frauds and those who try to thwart them has been constant from the beginning of humanity, she says – and the battle is still going strong.
Prof. Eliav-Feldon's book, Renaissance Impostors and Proofs of Identity (Palgrave Macmillan) argues that this situation bred the formal identification systems we have today. Documentation such as diplomas, travel papers, and occupational licenses became prevalent, and that necessitated the creation of systems to distribute and authenticate these new forms of identification.
Modern bureaucracy was born. This makes the early modern centuries a crucial period in the development of ID, a hallmark of life today.
Fear of the unknown
Coupled with a greater capacity for travel, the rapid growth of cities in early modern Europe eroded the traditional "face-to-face" society, where people were born, lived, and died in the same villages. Suddenly, not every face was a familiar one—a change that led to mass suspicion and fear. And while this fear was often directed at outsiders, such as a new Gypsy population, it also encouraged people to suspect the integrity of their neighbors and friends.
The situation came to a boiling point in the 16th and 17th centuries. Authorities began to fear that many people were not who they said they were, which sparked a desperate attempt to identify and categorize individuals in larger populations.
That prompted reactions such as the witch craze, which justified the execution of approximately 50,000 people suspected of being in league with Satan, and the Spanish Inquisition, which encouraged people to betray their neighbors as heretics, secret Jews, or crypto-Muslims, explains Prof. Eliav-Feldon.
Uncertainty and the need for truth prompted new methods of identification. Some were rudimentary and brutal in nature—thieves were branded to indicate their criminal status wherever they might go, for example. Others were early models of identification we are familiar with today, including travel permits, the ancestors of our own passports.
Ironically, as government bureaucracy grew, so did the prevalence of fraud, Prof. Eliav-Feldon discovered. Early hand-written documents were not difficult to forge, and as quickly as identification appeared, forgeries followed. The battle continues today—as the means of identification become more sophisticated, so do attempts to circumvent them, a cycle common in the fields of cyber and border security.
Suspending disbelief
With so many frauds and impostors throughout the early modern period, the question of how and why they succeeded in their deception remains a mystery, notes Prof. Eliav-Feldon, who identifies it as one of the key issues of the phenomenon. The answer, she says, relies on a different notion of truth.
One example is the tale of David Reuveni, who in 1524 came to Venice and declared himself a prince of the lost tribes of Israel. Appearing before the Pope and various kings of Europe, he vowed to forge an alliance with European leaders to liberate the holy land from the Muslims. Despite the absence of proof, Jews and non-Jews alike rallied to his cause. It was years before his deception was uncovered.
Prof. Eliav-Feldon believes that Reuveni succeeded so well because kings and church prelates alike desperately wanted his tale to be true. "They wanted to believe that they had a potential ally—and were willing to suspend judgment because it fit their interests," she explains. "Many impostors succeeded for a long time not because everybody believed them, but because they had no way of confirming they were impostors."

I've only got two links this morning, and I'm sure it's enough to keep everyone talking.
While speculation swirls around RFA defencemen Luke Schenn and Drew Doughty, it appears that they're situations couldn't be more different. Both restricted free agents, we'll likely see a deal for Schenn in the next 24 hours while Doughty and the Kings still remain far apart on an agreement. It's been said that the Kings could actually pull their current deal (around 6.8 per season) from Doughty at week's end if things don't shape up.
Schenn has remained positive about his whole contract process, implying that he doesn't want to see negotiations take the focus from his game. So when the two sides eventually do settle, what type of price are we looking at? As Darren Dreger pointed out last night, somewhere between Zach Bogosian's 2.5 and Marc Staal's 3.9 million per season. That's a pretty wide gap.
Chemmy at the Leafs Nation has more, with some Schenn comparables:
What odd is that the rumors swirling around have Luke Schenn earning almost $4MÂ per season and that seems pretty high given Schenn's skillset. Defensive defensemen are generally fairly underrated. Mike Komisarek got $4.5MÂ to be a big shutdown guy in Toronto (ignore that he actually sucks, he was a premiere free agent). Francois Beauchemin got $3.8MÂ to be a shutdown guy. Anton Volchenkov got $4.25MÂ in free agency. All of those guys were unrestricted free agents and while IÂ understand paying for potential the reality is you need to put the squeeze on your RFAs.
When you look at some of the players Chemmy has listed, it's tough to see Schenn's price rising all the way to 4 million, which is a good thing for Leafs fans. Obviously the more cap space, the better.
That cap space could come in handy over the season if Burke's stable of prospects starts to burn a hole in his pocket. If he decides to flip some kids for help in a specific area, he's got the flexibility to do so.
Speaking of prospects and players, here's 70, yes SEVENTY of them who are invited to training camp tomorrow.
43 forwards, 21 defenceman and six goalies. Who wants to bet that Burke tries to convince Wilson to hold on to all 21 defencemen for opening night? You really can't have too many.

This spring, state environmental leaders hope to wrap up a major plan, almost three years in the making, to cut the amount of trash dumped in landfills by nearly a third by the end of the decade and an ambitious 80 percent by 2050.
This spring, state environmental leaders hope to wrap up a major plan, almost three years in the making, to cut the amount of trash dumped in landfills by nearly a third by the end of the decade and an ambitious 80 percent by 2050.
Most controversially, the plan would relax a longtime moratorium on new trash incinerators and require some commercial food waste to be diverted from landfills next year. It also aims to step up recycling by businesses and residents at the local level and ensure that fewer toxic materials and other banned materials end up in the waste stream.
Overall, the plan, which is called, "Pathway to Zero Waste," is meant to cut greenhouse gas emissions from trash disposal and processing and ease pressure on the state's landfills.
"As a whole, we're reiterating our strong support for recycling and reuse," said state Department of Environmental Protection Commissioner Kenneth Kimmell.
The state's proposal has been a long time coming. The state recycled about 42 percent of all its waste as of 2009 — one of the highest rates in the nation, but one that did not improve over the last decade, the plan says.
DEP released a draft of its plan in 2010 and received 121 public comments. The agency did not release a revised draft until December last year. Kimmell said his staff "wanted to make sure we got it right, and it did take some time."
The new version has a key change: A proposed revision to a 23-year-old ban on expanding municipal waste incineration. The plan says it would allow limited use of new or alternative technology to turn 350,000 tons of waste, or less than 5 percent of all trash, into fuel each year.
"Part of it is to be open to technological innovation," Kimmell said. "The second part of it is we are facing a capacity shortfall."
The alternative-technology fuel aspect of possible changes to the state's Solid Waste Master Plan holds particular relevance for Taunton, whose municipal landfill is slated to close by March 2015.
In December 2012, Mayor Thomas Hoye Jr.'s administration signed a contract with a pair of waste-treatment firms, as part of a unique agreement between the two competitors to share in the profits of ridding the city of its municipal solid waste stream.
One of the two, Interstate Waste Technologies, is seeking MassDEP approval to build a gasification plant that would produce saleable gasoline as a byproduct.
IWT, which previously was anointed by the city as its "preferred vendor," has agreed to work with WeCare Organics LLC, a New York state-based company with a proven track record for managing waste-disposal plants, including all four of New York City's trash-processing sites.
But even if IWT passes muster with the state's environmental overseers, it still has one major problem: The 350,000-ton trash limit as a fuel source for the entire state is considerably less than what IWT says it has to process in order to turn a profit.
Taunton City Councilman Daniel Barbour, chairman of the solid waste committee, said it's ironic that the current version of Pathway to Zero Waste is stipulating a tonnage limit that falls far short of IWT's needs.
"They'll need at least 500,000 tons," per year, Barbour said.
He did, however, say that IWT is now appealing to the state to loosen its proposed alternative technology, trash-source limit.
Barbour says he sat down with MassDEP officials in late February at their Lakeville office.
Although the mayor was unable to attend, Barbour said that besides himself those who did show up included fellow councilor Deborah Carr, DPW water division director Cathal O'Brien, IWT president Frank Campbell and his lawyer, former Taunton mayor and state rep Theodore Aleixo.
Barbour says MassDEP officials showed interest in coming to Taunton within a month to visit the spot where IWT wants to build its gasoline production plant.
That site, adjacent to Myles Standish Industrial Park, includes part of the Alec Rich site, as well as land owned by G. Lopes Construction.
Barbour also stressed that he remains skeptical about details of the Pathway to Zero Waste plan. "I'll believe it when I see it in writing," he said. "I've heard a lot of talk over the years, and to date we have no plan in hand."
Depending on the success of its new efforts to reduce waste, the state is expected to be short on landfill space for between 700,000 and 2 million tons of trash a year by 2020, Kimmell said. While Massachusetts already has to ship some of its waste out of state, an option that may not remain cost effective, the commissioner said.
The proposed change sparked resistance. By a March 1 deadline to weigh in on the incineration proposal, 5,030 people and organizations submitted comments electronically, according to Ed Coletta, a DEP spokesman. Don't Waste Massachusetts, a coalition against the proposed changes, said it delivered more than 10,000 signatures in opposition to the change on Feb. 28.
The coalition argues expanded burning is inefficient and dirty, and the pyrolysis and gasification technology DEP favors is neither new nor successful elsewhere in the U.S.
Advocates argue DEP needs to focus more on enforcing existing bans on dumping recyclables, yard waste and other materials already barred from landfills. Estimates say at least 15 percent of trash that ends up in landfills should not be there, said Janet Domenitz, executive director of the Massachusetts Public Interest Research Group, which helped lead the petition drive.
"It's contradictory to include new sources of combustion if you haven't done every single thing that you can to reduce, reuse, recycle," she said.
Kimmell said increased enforcement is part of DEP's plan, but it is "very time-consuming and labor intensive," and may not ultimately address the landfill space crunch.
Industries that burn trash to generate power support the state's proposal. In written comments, Covanta Energy, which runs waste-to-energy facilities in Rochester, Haverhill, Pittsfield and Agawam, said the proposal is a step in the right direction and a better option than expanding landfills. However, the company does not want limits on technology allowed at any new incinerators.
The state has seven municipal waste incinerators now, including ones in North Andover, Saugus and Millbury.
In another highlight of the plan, the state wants to foster a new market for turning food and other organic waste into compost or using it for energy, with hopes of diverting about a third of this type of garbage from landfills by the end of the decade.
DEP overhauled siting rules for facilities known as anaerobic digesters that can process this type of waste last year. To meet its goals, the state would need eight to 10 such facilities to process 100 tons of food waste per day.
A farm in Rutland has a facility that already does this with food and manure, and about 200 large supermarkets already are part of a program to reuse or recycle food waste, the proposal says. DEP also is looking to develop pilot digesters on state land and has narrowed its options to UMass-Amherst, MCI-Shirley and MCI-Norfolk, according to Kimmell.
In the shorter term, the state has plans to bar hotels, conference centers and other large businesses and institutions from tossing food into the regular trash next year.
"We think that will send the right signal to the private sector that they can invest capital and build these facilities," Kimmell said.
Domenitz backs that idea.
"Number one, you free up (landfill) space," she said. "Number two, when food is buried, it actually releases bad gases. ... Number three, you can turn it into something useful."

Cadel Evans adds Giro d'Italia to racing program
Evans explained the plan to compete in the Giro d'Italia for the first time since 2010 – where he won a stage while wearing the rainbow colored World Champion jersey and led the race for one day – was proposed to him earlier this month. His BNC Racing Team is eagerly searching for a new recipe for Evans after he delivered a disappointing performance in last year's Tour de France. The call for a modified race schedule has been intensified after Evans finished 51st overall in this year's Criterium International - a race he won last year.
"I could stick with my normal program that I do every year or try this different approach, which may be too much, but certainly enough," he explained. "I have always wanted to race again at the Giro, but after I raced it in 2010, I didn't get to the Tour fresh. I'm not saying that the Giro and the Tour together is too much. The illness and injury I had in 2010 made it impossible to judge."
Evans, who won the 2011 Tour de France, said this year's Tour de France remains his number one goal. Evans' BMC team, however, is said to have high expectations for teammate Tejay van Garderen in this year's Tour. "The team will put everything into the Tour de France," Evans said. "My situation is a bit strange because there are not many riders who perform better with two grand tours than one in their legs. In my situation, with the racing I missed last year, I need and I feel comfortable with this program."
Evans said his objective for the Giro d'Italia, which takes place in Italy from May 4-26, is simple. "To get back to my best," he said. "Since the virus I had last year, I have had to change my approach to my work. It's difficult when you struggle to get to your best even though you are doing everything correctly. I am not coming to the Giro d'Italia just for training. I don't know where I will be with my form, but for sure, I will give it everything."
BMC Racing Team Sports Director John Lelangue said he has no concerns about Evans riding back-to-back grand tours and still being the team's clear leader in this year's Tour de France. "When he did both in 2010, he did good two performances and he has proven in the past he can do both the Tour and the Vuelta a España," Lelangue explained.
"So three weeks of racing in what is a nice Giro for him, will be the best way to prepare well and be ready for the month of July."
By adding Evans to the BMC team's Giro d'Italia roster the team likely increases its chances of winning one of its key disciplines - the stage 2 team time trial and also adds invaluable experience. "It's a great advantage to have him on the roster."

GAINESVILLE, Fla. - Gov. Rick Scott has ordered national and state flags at the the Florida Capitol, along with the Alachua County Courthouse and Gainesville City Hall, to be flown at half staff on Friday to honor a Florida Army National Guardsman killed last week in a crash in Bradford County.
Twenty-year-old Spec. Arandall Ladarrion Shear died after he was ejected from a Humvee that flipped on Jan. 15 while headed north on U.S. Highway 301 near Lawtey.
Shears, from West Point, Ga., was with the 146th Expeditionary Signal Battalion of the Florida Army National Guard based in Gainesville.
According to the Florida Highway Patrol, Shears was heading north in the left lane of U.S. 301 when he tried to change lanes and lost control. The vehicle went into the grass median and overturned, losing its cargo.
The FHP said the Humvee was en route from Camp Blanding to Jacksonville when it crashed.

Mauritania: A story of life or death
Rich Stearns, president of World Vision U.S., recently warned that we must take decisive action now to prevent the hunger crisis in West Africa's Sahel region from devolving into outright famine, similar to what was seen in parts of the Horn of Africa last year.
Today, World Vision's Adel Sarkozi writes from Mauritania, confirming this message: West Africa may not be making headlines in the media, but the humanitarian situation there is dire, and we must act immediately.
* * *
Place yourself in the story of Mauritania -- a country that has been struck by food shortages and inconsistent rainfall. As the situation worsens, it remains to be seen whether the story for many will end in life or death.
In Nouakchott, Mauritania's capital, you pass by small, makeshift camps in the desert -- a mix of fluttering tents, thin cattle and camels, and mostly hard-faced men under softly-colored turbans.
The austere sand around them is dotted with buckets, an old bathtub with water for the animals, tin containers, and litter.
By now, you know why they are here. You've heard many answers to this question: Hungry. Fleeing villages where there are no means of coping. No harvest last year. No food for people or animals this year.
All of this means that Mauritania -- which has 700,000 people battling food insecurity out of a population of 3.5 million -- faces a hunger crisis three times worse than the previous one, which struck the West African nation two years ago.
Gori Hogo, 72, says that this is the worst food crisis he has experienced, but fears conditions may continue to get worse. (Photo: Adel Sarkozi/World Vision)
While you know why these people are here, you still find yourself wondering how their story will end.
A day earlier, when you asked the same question of 72-year-old Gori Hogo, he looked you in the eye before answering:
"You can see it in our eyes [and] faces how tired we are, how much we have suffered," he said. "I've lived a long life, and have seen people and animals suffering before, but never the two suffering together as much as now. We don't know how this will end. But we know we don't want to see what being worse than this could be like."
In his village of approximately 100 people, only the old men, women, and children are still here. The younger men and older boys have left with the remaining cattle in search of pasture in Mali or Senegal. In other areas, the men have settled near the capital with hopes of finding food and work.
Hadi Kouamba Seoudu is among the women whose husband and elder sons have gone to Mali in search of pasture for their cattle. (Photo: Adel Sarkozi/World Vision)
Gori's son and two of his grandsons left for Mali a few months ago. They walked for one month -- with short rests after every few days -- to reach a place where they could let their animals graze.
Animals and men alike live in the open air with minimal shelter. The only difference, says Gori, is that the men can share their pain; the animals can't.
Rumor has it that Mauritania is home to about 3 million people and 30 million cattle.
Two days earlier, you saw so many of the latter -- decomposed donkeys, cows, goats, and camels -- lying near the road or in the desert that it became harsh but common to spot yet another dead animal on your way.
You're told that more than 100,000 died a few weeks ago -- this time, not because of lack of food or drought, but ironically, because of rain. An early rain. The animals were already struggling, weak and tired, and the sudden cold rain following days of high temperatures proved to be the last straw.
You're bewildered. Everywhere you look, the landscape is a solid embodiment of flesh, bone, life, and death, side by side.
You remember Gori's equation: The more the animals are affected, the more the people are, too. Often their only source of livelihood, selling the animals is not an option, especially when you would have been forced to sell at a very low price, he says.
In Mauritania and across West Africa, animals suffer as food grows scarce. (Photo: Adel Sarkozi/World Vision)
And so the younger men have left with their herds while their families live in fear that their sons, husbands, fathers, or brothers might not return. They are aware that the situation is dangerous in Mali, but danger is still a better option than allowing your family and animals to go hungry.
That's a very real risk, as evidenced by the words of Gori's granddaughter, 14-year-old Ramata: "Every day I go to school thinking about this situation," she said. "This year is a very difficult year for us. My father didn't have to go away with the cattle before…I could eat milk with cereal.
"We used to have a lot of milk, and my mother would make yogurt out of it. Now, we need food the most, especially rice and cereals."
You sit and nod, words piling up in your head.
You catch Gori's red, tired eyes burning for some hope, for some solution. Then, he smiles sincerely. He thanks you for coming, for leaving your world to visit his, harsh as it is now. He says he can see it in your eyes that you understand his troubles, and he knows you won't forget him. And thinking about him and his family, not forgetting him, is what counts the most for him right now.
And you realize that while you still don't know the end of the story for Mauritania and its people, this is where your story should begin -- by telling theirs.

men who are uncircumcised tend to not do the whole 'jackhammer' thing, because they can feel more, they tend to have more pubic contact, and need less aggressive movement to acheive pleasurable sensations. There's a lot less pain for women that way, AND they need less lube if any at all. sex the way it was intended to be. It's definitely not your 'old age' because I'm 26 (female)
