== USMNT set for Gold Cup opener vs. Belize (Tuesday links) 0 ==

<html>The CONCACAF Gold Cup has been going for two days, but now it s time for the U.S. to get going.
Coach Jurgen Klinsmann s squad is in Portland for an 8 p.m. game against Belize, an opponent that actually features an American . The Sounders will have someone at Jeld-Wen Field to scout the games, same thing obviously for Thursday s games in Seattle, but the tournament is important for other reasons, too,[http://www.jerseys-ns.net/Germany-11-KLOSE-White-Away-Jerseys-8576/ Germany 11 KLOSE White Away Jerseys], according to coach Sigi Schmid.
 Gold Cup is important because now the winner of this Gold Cup and the winner of the next Gold Cup play off for the opportunity to play in the next Confederations Cup,[http://www.locagame-server.com/wikiloca/index.php/Utilisateur:Langeland32#Hawaii_Grown_Report_Hawaii_News.2C_Honolulu.2C_Honolulu_News.2C_Sp Hawaii Grown Report Hawaii News, Honolulu, Honolulu News, Sp], so there s meaning to it, Schmid said. It used to be there was only meaning every other competition for the Gold Cup. Even though some of the countries have sent what you might call their B team,[http://www.clubedojipeiro.com.br/jipepedia/index.php?title=Utilizador:Sernawad09 Asian tiger mosquitoes have a ‘lifesaving trick’ Hawaii Ne], I think still having success in the Gold Cup is still something that s important to all the countries of CONCACAF. 
The Sounders duo of Eddie Johnson and Brad Evans were on the preliminary roster for the tournament but are not involved in the group stage. Schmid reminded that Klinsmann made a conscious decision to leave out MLS players who were key contributors last month in World Cup qualifying.

== Erasmo Ramirez appears to be getting call from Mariners ==

<html>The Mariners open a four-game series tonight against the Boston Red Sox at Safeco Field.
Erasmo Ramirez last pitched on Friday in Class AAA and would have an extra day s rest if he s to go on Thursday afternoon for the Mariners. And that s exactly what the team appears to have in mind when it comes to replacing Jeremy Bonderman in the rotation.
Mariners manager Eric Wedge said this afternoon that a AAA pitcher would be replacing Bonderman.
 We re going to need another starter for Thursday, so we ll be pulling somebody up for that, Wedge said.
When asked whether he d already decided on who is coming, Wedge said: We know who it s going to be. Nothing I can release right now, but we ll have to make that move obviously y Thursday. 
There aren t a whole lot of options in AAA. As mentioned earlier, Taijuan Walker pitched last night and would not be able to take another turn on normal rest until Friday. Danny Hultzen got hurt in late June and hasn t pitched in a game since. James Paxton is pitching for AAA Tacoma tonight, so he s out. Hector Noesi has worked five innings only once the past month and lately has thrown around three frames per outing in relief.
As for internal options,[http://nl.timopedia.eu/wiki/Gebruiker:Sernawad19#Not_filling_each_waking_moment_-enriching.27_the_kids-_Relax.2C Not filling each waking moment -enriching' the kids- Relax,], Blake Beavan has been stretched out enough. But he hasn t pitched in eight days and you probably don t want to risk starting a guy on that much extra rest if there s a AAA option available.
When it comes to the open roster spot, Stephen Pryor is throwing a simulated game on Wednesday and will be eligible to come off the 60-day DL shortly, which would require him to be added back to the roster.
Joining him in that simualted game will be Michael Morse and Franklin Gutierrez.
Wedge said Bonderman being DFA is more about who the Mariners have coming up the pipeline rather than the veteran getting shelled in consecutive outings.
 It s really more about who s coming than versus that,[http://www.jerseys-ns.net/MLB-Size-Caps-005-10893/ MLB Size Caps-005], he said. I think when you talk about Bondo,[http://www.jerseys-ns.net/Oklahoma-City-Thunder--35-DURANT-Black-Jersyes-12303/ Oklahoma City Thunder  35 DURANT Black Jersyes], you ve got to really appreciate his effort and what he s done to get back to where he is. But we still feel there s some more work to do there. Again,[http://bbs.kitow.com/home.php?mod=space&uid=108116 ], it s more about who we re bringing up than anything. 
Remember, the Mariners can still attempt to outright Bonderman back to AAA if he passes through waivers.
Lucas Luetge has been called up to take Bonderman s major league spot for now. Luetge was eating at a PF Chang s restaurant in Salt Lake City on Friday when he opened his fortune cookie. In it, the paper read: Next Monday will be a lucky day for you. 
I know that the cookie s paper said this because Luetge kept it and brought it with him to Seattle.
 I ve never had a fortune cookie be that specific, he said. I didn t tell anybody about it not even my wife until I found out for sure that I was coming back up. 
Luetge had turned things around in AAA of late after a rough start following his late-May demotion by the Mariners.
 I had about a two-week stretch where it was the worst baseball of my life and it took a mental toll,[http://bbs.kitow.com/home.php?mod=space&uid=108116 ], he said. I could have been trying for an intentional walk and they still would have hit it.</html>

== Climate change and energy sources ==

<html>Natural gas could be a solution
Contractors work on a natural-gas power plant under construction in Utah. The administration has been upbeat on natural gas. [George Frey/Bloomberg.]
There can be no denying that human-caused global warming is taking place. The scientific evidence is incontrovertible. 
The question remains: What is the best way to ameliorate this problem?
Obviously, the warming threat should motivate countries throughout the world to adopt sustainable forms of power generation from solar and wind sources.
Unfortunately, these sources are not ideal for all of civilization’s energy needs. This is particularly true with regard to the transportation of people and goods,[http://www.jerseys-ns.net/NBA-Caps-132-10280/ NBA Caps-132], where the sun and wind cannot produce an intense enough burst of power.
The current answer for these transportation needs lies with natural gas. Natural gas is an extremely clean-burning fossil fuel that emits much less global-warming-causing carbon dioxide than other fossil fuels. As the article points out, however, natural gas has its own risks.
Natural gas or methane, in its unburned state, is a much worse pollutant than carbon dioxide. Unchecked leakage of unburned natural gas can neutralize any benefits achieved from using this fuel.
This quandary really can be reduced to one essential question: Are we willing to take the necessary steps to ensure that gas production,[http://wiki.kaffeklubben.org/index.php?title=Bruger:Edmisteru65#Mariners_to_make_rotation_change_soon_after_Jeremy_Bonderman Mariners to make rotation change soon after Jeremy Bonderman], transmission and use become essentially leak-free? While that may seem tough, it is by no means unachievable. It requires the necessary regulations and investment in infrastructure.
I certainly hope the cynics and critics,[http://www.45ge.net/thread-57566-1-1.html Abandoned backhoe falls through bureaucratic crack Hawaii News, Honolulu, Honolu],[http://www.jerseys-ns.net/Nike-Seahawks-18-Rice-Sea-Blue-Elite-Jerseys-15720/ Nike Seahawks 18 Rice Sea Blue Elite Jerseys], who declare defeat at the first problem that surfaces,[http://www.hr358.com/bbs/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=163581 A Husky football fan recalls the past and finds his new home], are not allowed to torpedo the use of a very promising answer to our short-term energy needs.

== Add up the extra travel fees before you buy ==

<html>An iceberg floats in the sea near Disko Island, Greenland.(AP Photo/Brennan Linsley)
I’ve been daydreaming about going to Greenland, of seeing its other-worldly wilderness of icebergs and glaciers before they’re gone (thank you, climate change).
?So I thumbed through an enticing-looking brochure from an expedition-cruise company called Adventure Canada, a family-run business that takes travelers on small-ship cruises to remote northern places such as Canada’s Arctic, Scotland, Greenland and more.
??? One cruise, called Greenland Wild Labrador, looked enticing. The price for the Sept. 5-18 cruise: $3,995 per person (that’s in the cheapest stateroom which is, ahem, a quad with bunk beds; a two-berth room would be a dizzying $6,695 per person). Still,[http://www.jerseys-ns.net/NIKE-Steelers-43-POLAMALU-white-Game-Jerseys-16570/ NIKE Steelers 43 POLAMALU white Game Jerseys], not all that bad for a 118-passenger ship that would cruise to Canada’s wild Labrador coast and to Greenland. And I wasn’t looking for a luxury cruise nor planning to spend much time in the stateroom. ?
?But then I began toting up the extra charges as outlined in the 2013 brochure. And I ended up with sticker shock. The additional fees (all per person and in U.S. dollars):
Discovery Fee: $250. It’s described as a contribution to local projects in the areas in which Adventure Canada travels. But it’s billed to you.
Credit card pricing: $160. If you use a credit card, you’ll have to pay more — $4,[http://www.jerseys-ns.net/Angels-5-pujols-Red-jerseys-13989/ Angels 5 pujols Red jerseys],155 for the cheapest Greenland Wild Labrador fare instead of $3,995 if you pay by cash or check. Yes,[http://classof81.co.uk/blog/2010/01/a-first-success.html#comments What really killed the Egyptian-_0], you could avoid the extra charge by not using a credit card, but I’d never pay for a tour/cruise with cash or check. If you pay by credit card there is protection under federal fair credit laws in case a company goes bankrupt or doesn’t deliver what was promised; you don’t have such protections when paying by cash or check.

Mandatory medical evacuation insurance: About $250 (for trip cancellation and medical/evacuation insurance,[http://www.tif.cc/home.php?mod=space&uid=232371 ], varies depending on the passenger’s age).?? OK, fair enough, to require medical insurance (which usually comes bundled with other protections). Otherwise it could cost a traveler thousands of dollars to be evacuated and stick the cruise line with the arrangements. Still, it adds up.
Fuel surcharges: Not specified,[http://www.howtofixyourstuff.com/ State law requires review of property over 50 years old Hawa], but they can be imposed.
Tips: $210. The cruise line suggests a gratuity of $15 per passenger per day. Many big cruise lines automatically add gratuities to your bill, other cruise lines “suggest” it and you feel like a heel if you don’t tip. What about paying ship staff a living wage and not sticking passengers for tips?
???? So before even considering the cost of any optional shore excursions, I was looking at more than $850 in extras. Ouch.
?The moral of the story: Add up the extra fees — so prevalent?in the travel business?these days — before you buy so you know the true price.</html>
