Five Chairs: What I learned from Denard Robinson & Kelvin Grady
Five chairs were lined up in a row facing the stage at the empty table set aside for the judges at Pioneer High School’s Future Stars 2012. I had arrived early (not one of my traits) to select my seat and make sure I had perfect line of sight of the district-wide high school acts that would be vying for the title of Future Stars. I take my judging seriously.

In two years the Panama Canal will open a larger set of locks capable of handling ships 50% wider and with deeper drafts than today’s Panamax ships–the largest that can currently use the canal. By 2014 there will be 1,200 post-Panamax ships, incredible naval ships, that can carry up to 18,000 containers. This will almost double the current container ship capacity of over 9,000. Experts are saying that this will have a major impact and be a revolutionary change on containerized shipping.
