(Aug. 3, 2011)--The UTSA Office of P-20 Initiatives will assist with the 18th annual Project Stuff the Bus. The citywide school supplies drive sponsored by Communities In Schools-San Antonio (CIS-SA) and benefiting San Antonio's youth will be 7 a.m.-7 p.m., Friday, Aug. 5 with drop-off sites at selected area H-E-B. stores.
While local volunteers and community leaders are "stuffing" yellow school buses with school supplies, UTSA also will help the community get ready for college. The Office of P-20 Initiatives will take the UTSA Mobile Go Center to the H-E-B store at 9900 Wurzbach Rd. at Interstate 10 West.
The UTSA Office of P-20 Initiatives and H-E-B continue to partner to support college-bound South Texans by providing access to the UTSA mobile computer lab and one-stop source of college knowledge. The Mobile Go Center will be staffed by UTSA representatives to help students and their families research colleges, prepare applications for admission and answer questions about financial aid forms.
CIS-SA reports that every year, too many San Antonio school children start the school year without the tools they need to succeed -- simple school supplies such as pens, pencils, paper, notebooks, crayons and more.
"We are pleased to partner with Communities In Schools, H.E.B. and our community to help students get ready for school and help students get ready for college," said Belinda Saldana, UTSA director of community outreach in the Office of P-20 Initiatives. "We invite the UTSA and San Antonio communities to contribute to this school supplies drive."
To learn more about the Mobile Go Center, contact Darrell Balderrama at 210-458-2769.

"DHS expands net to states, urban areas"
Homeland Security Department officials are preparing to unveil the first major contract to coordinate public safety wireless communications efforts across the government.
The broad agency announcement for SafeCom, which is expected to hit the streets by the end of the month, will seek technical interoperability solutions. Officials expect the announcement to result in awards to several vendors before the end of 2004, said Thomas Coty, director of technical solutions for SafeCom.
The announcement will be based on a statement of requirements developed using scenarios built by state and local
communities with assistance from the federal government, Coty said. The effort will start by focusing on primary first responders in law enforcement, fire and emergency medical services. Later it will include support for nontraditional first responders, transportation networks, utilities and others.
The organizational boundaries between agencies, and among local, state and federal public safety officials, have often been cited as stumbling blocks for any
interoperability solution. But the biggest breaking point in the past had been
the split among disciplines at the same level, said David Boyd, SafeCom program manager.
Each group has "different requirements because they're doing different kinds of things, and so that immediately produced confusion and made it difficult for policy-makers to figure out what to do," he said.
Culture differences among disciplines are entrenched, but they can be overcome. In Seattle, for example, the fire and police departments will likely not end up using the same computer-aided dispatch systems, said Dan Stilwell, senior fire department dispatcher for the city. But in Winston-Salem, N.C., the fire and EMS chiefs approached the police about inclusion in the same system, said Jerry Farris, director of the police department's information and technology division.
Having a true partnership at all levels is critical as the circle of agencies included in the network grows wider, said George Ake, program director for the Capital Wireless Integrated Network. Capital Wireless is an important regional testing ground for first responder wireless interoperability since it started bringing together public safety units throughout Maryland, Virginia and Washington, D.C., in 1998.
"There has to be buy-in, there has to be a sense of ownership, there has to be governance," he said.
The SafeCom strategy relies on building those existing cross-jurisdictional
and cross-disciplinary situations, Boyd said.
The National Public Safety Telecommunication Council has served as the
primary discussion venue for state and local agencies. The statement of requirements should be finalized this week and be approved by the 56 regional planning councils throughout the country, Coty said.
The SafeCom program office has up to $6 million to distribute for the two to
four awards that officials expect to make at some point this summer. The winners will be solutions with some proven operational capability developed in close partnership with public safety organizations, Coty said.
"We're really looking for innovative, new approaches," he said.

Agree. If she muttered under her breath at the end "...fool! I won the moped in a wet t-shirt contest, and my dog ate the seat", that would have wrapped up the concept for me ;)
thats right, cuz the way it is, seems like what she said was true...
i mean, its ok the robber thinks its true, but it should have ended with her laughing a little... so it is clear that she was acting...
little bit too long, but i like it.
And Ivan – I remember the discussion about the titles. They ruin the surprise factor.
it's not so easy my friend as they flash in front of the eyes. This is very first thing You look at!
At first, because of the siren and the girl's pleading attitude, I thought the moped was being towed by the authorities (as for illegal parking), or repossessed (for lack of payment). It makes no sense that you would try to reason with, or gain the sympathy of, a thief!
And yeah, she should have at least rolled her eyes and shaken her head at the end, like her neighborhood is so bad that she has to do this spiel every freakin' night.

BBQ Sauce: Sweet and Spicy
Total Time
Prep 2 mins
Cook 10 mins
If I have the time to make homemade BBQ sauce, this is one of several recipes that I use when I grill or oven bake. This is super quick and easy to make. Hubby really loves this on my Easy Oven Baked Ribs, but it is just as good when used on poultry. If you like a sweet BBQ sauce with a bit of a spicy after taste, this could be the one you want (I actually prefer the more mustard based BBQ sauces, but this makes hubby happy). I'm hoping that you enjoy this recipe, and that maybe you will try one of my other BBQ sauces in the future. *Note: I've stopped "tinkering" around with this recipe because hubby said "It's great as is, leave it alone". (I considered maybe sweating some minced onion to add along with some garlic powder, but it is just so simple and tasty now that I would hate to mess it up. Besides, those flavors are not missed). Enjoy! (*Note added: It is an extremely thin sauce, but can probably be altered to make it thicker... maybe less water or longer simmer time).
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 cup catsup
- 2⁄3 cup granulated sugar (more or less, adjust to taste)
- 1⁄2 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1⁄2 cup water
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce (more or less, to taste)
- red pepper flakes (to taste, I use about 1/2 teaspoon)
- Combine all ingredients except red pepper flakes in a small size sauce pan. Whisk while heating over a medium-low flame. Once sugar is dissolved, add in red pepper flakes. Simmer 5 minutes, whisking often.
- Once everything is incorporated, and you've adjusted the taste to your liking, let cool completely and store in an air tight jar for up to 3 weeks in the refrigerator (that's the longest it ever lasted in our house, it may stay fresh longer). If not using right away, mix sauce well, before using. (Nicely fills a recycled and cleaned, 16oz olive jar for storing in the fridge).
- *Note: While the ingredients have time to meld together in the fridge, the flavor will change a bit. Keep this in mind while tasting during the preparation. A little bit hot will get hotter -- a little bit sweet will get sweeter.
- Enjoy!

I reduced this to make a lesser amount of sauce, but I was super proud of myself, as I've never made BBQ sauce before! Brushed over some chicken legs, we scarfed this down! Thanks for sharing, rosie316!
What a lovely recipe. We really enjoyed this sweet spicy sauce. It has a nice kick from the red pepper flakes and the sweetness is a nice contrast to the heat. The sauce was quick and easy to make, easy to work with and it tasted great. I baked chicken thighs then poured the bbq sauce over them and let them bake for 15 minutes longer. I used your Rustic Spice Rub (Bulk) along with the sauce, it made for a delicious chicken dish. Made for Culinary Quest - Suitcase Gourmets.
I used this sauce to make vegetarian sloppy joes and it worked like a charm! I did eyeball the ingredients and added less water and cooked it down to make it nice and thick. Thanks Rosie!

You really do not feel that you are at an airport hotel and the convenirnt shuttle to/from airport which runs every 15 minutes, makes it a very convenient stay.

Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
Turow brings his experience as a practicing attorney to this thoughtful meditation on the nature, peril and efficacy of the death penalty. His tone is human and warm, but devoid of drama-he uses no character voices, save for a brief moment when he effectively emulates the words of an elderly Jewish man, who offers a warning about what can go wrong when a government exerts force against its own people. Much of the book deals with Turow's time spent on a commission organized to look into the death penalty machinery in Illinois and offer suggestions for improvement. He also relates his visit to a "Super-Max" prison where the "worst of the worst" are kept; these passages are chilling, as are his clinical descriptions of the crimes committed by the death row inmates. Turow gives both pro and con arguments equal consideration, keeping his own feelings ambiguous until the end, when he reveals his opinion that the death penalty should be repealed. The early chapters may confuse listeners, as they contain a cavalcade of names, but even so, this is a provocative, worthwhile listen, one that explores all the usual questions about capital punishment while raising new ones.

From Booklist
Popular legal-fiction writer Turow takes on the divisive topic of the death penalty in this concise, thoughtful essay. A self-proclaimed "death penalty agnostic," Turow didn't consider himself an expert on the issue even during his years as a prosecutor or when he helped in the defense of some high-profile capital cases. Nonetheless, in early 2000, after Illinois governor George Ryan declared a moratorium on further executions, Turow was appointed to a 14-member blue-ribbon commission charged with helping reform the state's capital punishment system. Ryan's groundbreaking moratorium began a wave of similar actions nationwide as more and more guilty convictions were questioned, whether via new DNA evidence or an overzealous prosecutorial machine (in two key cases in Illinois, a little of both). Turow traces the recent history of the death penalty through his own experiences, and though he was ambivalent about it at the start, he comes away with definite convictions. This is not a scientific study, Turow admits, but he does supply ample notes to back up many of the claims he makes throughout the book. Also included is the commission's report as submitted to Governor Ryan. Together with Mark Fuhrman's more procedural study, Death and Justice [BKL Jl 03], Turow's reflections will spark further discussions on this troublesome issue. Mary Frances Wilkens

Turow . . . it is a sobering, nonfiction account of Turow's service on the Illinois commission that investigated the administration of the death penalty and influenced Governor George Ryan's unprecedented commutation of the sentences of 164 death row inmates on his last day in office.
I remember in 2003 when I read about the above how I wondered,
"What gives?" . . . although not a strong supporter of the death
penalty (then), I still believed that it did serve a useful purpose in certain instances--and it was a definite deterrent to future crimes of a heinous nature.
Now, after reading Turow's latest effort, I'm not at all sure . . . I've become convinced that there are serious flaws in the criminal justice system . . . furthermore, I realize now that too many innocent people have been wrongly convicted of murder with race or lack of income often being the only reason this happens.
The author provides many examples, supporting his analysis
of the issue . . . this one really struck home: [Chris Thomas is]
"condemned to die because he is poor and belligerent, while
the likes of the Menendez brothers, who shotgunned their
parents for their millions, or the Unabomber . . . get life."
In his legal career, Mr. Turow has had some exposure to capital punishment cases both as a prosecutor and as a defendant's attorney. From these experiences, he learned that the law doesn't operate as smoothly as advertised in death penalty cases.
I picked up the book because I had read a little about Illinois Governor George Ryan's commutation of 167 death sentences on the last day of his term in office, and wanted to know more about how they came about. The book more than fulfilled my interest, because Mr. Turow was a member of a commission looking into reforming the application of the death penalty for Governor Ryan. The findings of that commission and the subsequent foot dragging by the legislature caused Governor Ryan to act.
Although I have been opposed to the death penalty for as long as I can remember, I was shocked to find out how poorly the sentence had been applied in Illinois. Prosecutors overlooked police torture to obtain confessions, judges overlooked obvious procedural errors, defense attorneys were expected to defend their clients at trial for a total payment of $300, defendants to the same crime often didn't receive the same sentence even when their acts were worse, AND many innocent defendants spent years awaiting death. If you want to understand all the gruesome details, this book provides them in a reasonably dispassionate way.
When he started with the commission, Mr.Read more ›
His bottom line is this: there are indeed those cases (mostly in the cases of pathological serial killers) that might warrant the death penalty. However, there are so many cases of capital punishment dished out erronously or delivered to those defendants too poor to hire top-notch legal representation, that it does more harm than good in the name of justice.
The pivotal question, as he puts it, "is whether a system of justice can be constructed that reaches only the rare, right cases, without also occasionally condemning the innocent or the undeserving." Capital punishment, in Turow's judgement, does not satify these conditions.
He supports his argument by giving appropriate examples like the case of Chris Thomas who is "condemned to die because he is poor and belligerent, while the likes of the Menendez brothers, who shotgunned their parents for their millions, or the Unabomber ... get life."
Only 115 pages but a very good and seminal read. Highly recommended.

LONDON (AP) — Renewed financial jitters in Europe and the failure of U.S. indexes to break through key thresholds weighed on markets Thursday as investors grew skeptical over the outlook for stocks.
In Europe, sentiment took a hit after worries over the health of one of Portugal's largest financial groups slammed the country's stock market and pushed up its borrowing rates. The tensions are centered on the Espirito Santo group of companies, which includes Portugal's largest bank Banco Espirito Santo.
Share trading in the bank was suspended after a precipitous fall of more than 16 percent, dragging the Lisbon stock exchange down more than 4 percent and pushing up the yield on Portugal's benchmark 10-year bonds by 0.21 percentage points to 3.97 percent.
The problems in Portugal weighed on stock markets around the world, particularly in Europe where memories of the most-acute phase of the debt crisis remain prominent in investors' minds.
"With Portugal looking to be in trouble once again, prudent analysis has been thrown out of the window in preference to a knee-jerk reaction," said Chris Beauchamp, market analyst at IG.
In Europe, Germany's DAX closed down 1.5 percent at 9,659.13 while the CAC-40 in France fell 1.3 percent to 4,301.26. The FTSE 100 index of leading British shares ended 0.7 percent lower at 6,672.37.
In the U.S., the Dow Jones industrial average was 0.6 percent lower at 16,883 while the broader S&P 500 index fell 0.5 percent to 1,962.
On Wednesday, stocks, particularly in the U.S., were buoyed by minutes to the last meeting of the Federal Reserve that suggested interest rates will likely stay near zero for a while, even after monetary stimulus has been removed.
But the indexes' inability to stay near their records caused some traders to turn cautious.
"The inability for the Dow to hold above 17,000 on Wednesday or the S&P to break through 2,000 may be seen as a red flag among investors that we're not yet ready for that next leg higher and as a result, we're going to see profit taking near these levels for now," said Craig Erlam, market analyst at Alpari.
Earlier, in Asia, sentiment was dented by some disappointing Chinese trade figures, with exports coming lower than anticipated. Hong Kong's Hang Seng rose 0.3 percent to 23,238.99 while China's Shanghai Composite was steady at 2,038.34. Japan's Nikkei 225 stock average ended 0.6 percent lower at 15,216.47.

Alex Epstein
Alex Epstein is the director of the Center for Industrial Progress, a for-profit think tank he founded in 2011. Its mission is to "inspire Americans to embrace industrial progress as a cultural ideal." Epstein is also a blogger at Master Resource, a "Free Market Energy Blog," and a past fellow of the Ayn Rand Institute, an organization that has received funding from the Koch Foundations amounting to $100,000 between 2005 and 2011. [3]
"As the Founder and the Director of the Center for Industrial Progress, I make it my job to educate the public about the incredibly positive role energy and industry, particularly the oil industry, play in their lives," Epstein writes. [4]
Alex Epstein focus has written articles in this area in the Wall Street Journal, Forbes, Investor's Business Daily, The Objective Standard and numerous other publications largely on the subjects of energy and industrial policy. Epstein also hosts a monthly podcast titled "Power Hour" that features "leading energy thinkers" including climate change skeptics like Richard Lindzen.
He maintains a website, alexepstein.com, where he advertises his range of consulting services "from PR consulting to editorial consulting," in which he reframes the debate to fit the view that aggressive industrial progress will always benefit the environment.
Epstein regularly appears in conservative talk radio and television programs to promote the idea that industrial development is the best way to improve the environment. He has made appearances on FOX, PJTV, and Thom Hartmann. He also publishes his opinion in a wide variety of publications including The Wall Street Journal, Forbes, Investor's Business Daily, and Fox News.
According to Alex Epstein's website, he also makes speaking rounds in colleges and communities including Stanford, Duke, Berkeley, Federalist Society, NAACP, and College Republicans and has done corporate speaking and consulting for the oil, gas, and coal industries. [5]
Stance on Climate Change
"In my opinion, the time for debate is certainly not over because the vast majority of us don't even know what the debate is about — let alone what has been proven and what hasn't, let alone what action implications all of this has." [6]
Key Quotes
"I am proud to work with the fossil fuel industry. I think it has historically done a horrible job of educating the public and I think my ideas will help it make a better case for freedom." [30]
"[The Center for Industrial Progress'] model allows us to keep conflicts of interest to an absolute minimum as we do our research and writing. As for our relationship with the fossil fuel industry, it's the same as everyone else–they pay for our ideas, we never accept money to voice theirs." [30]
"…so much of what has gone right in American industrial history is that this country used to have a philosophy that embraced the transformation of nature through energy and industry—that is, embraced industrial progress. The more I read and talked to experts in the field, the more I saw an opportunity to use my knowledge of philosophy, and in particular Ayn Rand's philosophy, to change the way people think about energy, industry, and environment." [7]
"The difference between a healthy environment and an unhealthy environment can be summed up in one word, and it's not 'CO2' or 'climate' or 'temperature.' It's 'development.' […] Whether you're drinking clean drinking water, listening to a thunderstorm with pleasure instead of fear, or going to the Grand Canyon, you should be thanking Big Coal, Big Oil, and Big Gas." [8]
"One point I like to stress is that we should think of coal, oil, natural gas, and nuclear, as clean energy." [9]
"The natural environment is not particularly hospitable to human life … the key to having a good environment is improving it through work… . Energy is fundamentally an environmental improver and if we classify it that way it makes sense out of a lot of these controversies… . It's our obligation and our right to make [our environment] as good for human beings as possible. With that view, it's very easy for people to understand precisely the reason it's good to alter it — because it doesn't naturally come the way we need it to be." [10]
"To attribute rights to animals is to ignore the purpose and justification of rights—to protect the interests of man." [11]
"…Americans are not 'addicted' to oil. 'Addiction' implies an intense desire for something harmful. But we do not desire oil irrationally; we consume it because it is a wonderful, life-sustaining product." [12]
"Our lives depend on recognizing that human cloning, like all forms of 'playing God,' is a moral, life-promoting endeavor." [13]
"The story of oil at its core is one of human aspirations, human challenges, and human triumphs. It's a story of the aspiration to produce the best energy in the world—particularly the best portable energy to power the mobile machines that allow us to grow enough food to feed seven billion people, to whisk us away on amazing vacations, to have cars that allow us to work and play where we choose. Not to mention, the energy that improves our environment: by things like building water purification systems, sewer systems, and climate resistant buildings. Your story is a story of the challenge of figuring out how to produce this caliber of energy, which nature doesn't automatically give us." [25]
"The most important thing to having a healthy environment to live in is development. Which, ironically, is considered bad for the environment. This is exactly why undeveloped countries have the worst environments. It's not some coincidence; it's exactly because they are undeveloped. They breathe smoky air from wood fires because they lack centralized power plants—built by oil. They drink naturally contaminated water because they lack irrigation and water purification plants. They live with filth because they lack industrial scale sanitation. They are vulnerable to climate because they lack sturdy climate controlled homes. And they don't get to enjoy nature very much for that matter, which is supposedly what you get when you take away industry because they lack modern transportation—no one's going to the Grand Canyon with a five mile travel radius." [25]"This is not an institution that has supported capitalism. It's wrong and misleading for people to say this pope has deviated from this pro-capitalism path. But this pope is probably the worse." [35]"[Pope Francis is] just looking at the negatives. The slant of his focus is not human well-being, it's this idea of untouched nature." [35]"Everything that the pope is saying on the climate issue is very much lockstep with the establishment view that fossil fuel use has no unique positives and only catastrophic negatives. From that view if you had a climate catastrophe it would affect the poor," he added." [35]

Alex Epstein was featured on a ProgerU video titled "Fossil Fuels: The Greenest Energy." According to Epstein, "fossil fuels don't take a naturally safe environment and make it dangerous; they empower us to take a naturally dangerous environment and make it cleaner and safer." [40]
Video below:
What if I told you that someone had developed an energy source that could help us solve our biggest environmental challenges, purify our water and air, make our cities and homes more sanitary, and keep us safe from potential catastrophic climate change? What if I also told you that this energy source was cheap, plentiful, and reliable?
Well, there is such a source. You probably know it as fossil fuel. Oil. Natural gas. Coal.
But wait? Don't fossil fuels pollute our environment and make our climate unlivable? That, of course, is what we're told…and what our children are taught. But let's look at the data. Here's a graph you've probably never seen: the correlation between use of fossil fuels and access to clean water. More fossil fuel. More clean water. Am I saying the more we that we have used fossil fuel, the cleaner our water has become? Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying.
In the developed world, we take clean water for granted. We turn on a tap and it's there. But getting it there takes a massive amount of energy. Think of the man-made reservoirs, the purification plants, the network of pipes. In the undeveloped world, it's a much different story. They lack the energy, so they lack clean water. More fossil fuel. More clean water.
The same is true of sanitation. By the use of cheap, plentiful, and reliable energy from fossil fuels, we have made our environment cleaner. Take a look at this graph. More fossil fuel. Better sanitation.
Okay, what about air quality? Here's a graph of the air pollution trends in the United States over the last half century based on data from the Environmental Protection Agency. Note the dramatic downward trend in emissions, even though we use more fossil fuel than ever. How was this achieved? Above all, by using anti-pollution technology powered by…fossil fuel: oil, natural gas and coal.
But even without modern pollution control technology, fossil fuel makes our air cleaner. Indoor pollution—caused by burning a fire inside your house, cabin, hut or tent to cook and keep warm—was a deadly global problem until the late 19th century when cheap kerosene, a fossil fuel byproduct, became available in America and Europe. Indoor pollution is still a major issue in the developing world today. The best solution? Fossil fuel.
And now we come to the biggest fossil fuel concern of all—global warming. On this very sensitive topic we need to get our terms straight: There is a big difference between mild global warming and catastrophic global warming. We can all agree on that, right? The issue isn't: does burning fossil fuel have some warming impact? It does. The issue is: is the climate warming dangerously fast?
In 1986 NASA climate scientist James Hansen—one of the world's most prominent critics of the use of fossil fuels—predicted that "if current trends are unchanged," temperatures would rise 2 to 4 degrees in the first decade of the 2000s. But as you can see from this graph, since 2000 the trend line is essentially flat—little or no warming in the last 15 years. That's probably why we hear much less talk about "global warming" and much more talk about "climate change."
Has this "climate change" made our world more dangerous? The key statistic here, one that is, unfortunately, almost never mentioned, is "climate-related deaths," that is, how many people die each year from a climate-related cause, including droughts, floods, storms, and extreme temperatures. In the last eighty years, as CO2 emissions have rapidly escalated, the annual rate of climate-related deaths worldwide has rapidly declined – by 98%.
The reason is that the energy from fossil fuel has allowed the developed world to build a durable civilization, one highly resilient to extreme heat, extreme cold, floods, storms, and so on. The developing world—where natural disasters can still wreak terrible havoc—would like the chance to do the same. But to do that they will need a lot more energy. The cheapest, fastest and easiest way to get that energy is from fossil fuels.
In sum, fossil fuels don't take a naturally safe environment and make it dangerous; they empower us to take a naturally dangerous environment and make it cleaner and safer.
I'm Alex Epstein of the Center for Industrial Progress for Prager University.
According to their website, PragerU's mission is to "spread what we call 'Americanism' through the power of the Internet. Our five-minute videos are conservative sound bites that clarify profoundly significant and uniquely American concepts for more than 100 million people each year." They focus on "Judeo-Christian" values including "freedom of speech, a free press, free markets and a strong military to protect and project those values." [41]
According to Conservative Transparency, PragerU has received $215,000 from the conservative Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation. [42]

- "Why You Should Love Fossil Fuel" — April 20, 2015
- "Can We Rely on Wind and Solar Energy" — October 19, 2015
Alex Epstein spoke at a legislative hearing held by the The Senate Environment and Public Works (EPW) Committee in Washington convened by James Inhofe (R-Okla.) E&E Reporter/Greenwire describes how Epstein testified that raising carbon dioxide levels would be beneficial to plants and America and defended fossil fuel use (video below). [36]
"The president's anti-fossil-fuel policies would ruin billions of lives economically and environmentally," Epstein said, "depriving people of energy and therefore making them more vulnerable to nature's ever-present climate danger." [36]
In Epstein's full testimony (PDF), he contends that fossil fuels keep us "safe" from nature's "dangerous climate":
"Because while fossil fuel use has only a mild warming impact it has an enormous protecting impact. Nature doesn't give us a stable, safe climate that we make dangerous. It gives us an ever-changing, dangerous climate that we need to make safe. And the driver behind sturdy buildings, affordable heating and air-conditioning, drought relief, and everything else that keeps us safe from climate is cheap, plentiful, reliable energy, overwhelmingly from fossil fuels." [37]
Robert A. Sirico, President and founder of the Acton Institute, was a majority witness on the panel. Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) pointed out the Acton Institute's past of fighting federal health regulations while receiving funding from the tobacco industry: "When you're taking industry money and doing what industry tells you," Whitehouse said, "I have an issue with that." Sirico confirmed that about 5% of the Acton Instute's funding came from industry sources such as Exxon Mobil Corp. and organizations affiliated with the Koch brothers. [36]
After Whitehouse had left the room, Epstein called on the senator to resign:
When asked for comment on the remarks after the hearing, Whitehouse's office told Greenwire that "Mr. Epstein's comments don't merit a response."[36]"As long as your life is being made possible by the people of the fossil fuels industry, I think you should be grateful," Epstein said, "and I think it is a crime, a moral crime, that you are damning anyone by association.""And I wish Senator Whitehouse were here," Epstein added, "because what he is doing to the free speech of those companies and anyone associated with them is unconstitutional, and I think he should apologize and resign." [36]
At the end of the hearing, Boxer commented: "I'll never forget this hearing. We have a philosopher who wants Senator Whitehouse to resign. Senator Whitehouse, who is working every day to stop carbon pollution and save lives." [36]
April 6, 2016
Alex Epstein writes in Forbes magazine "How Republicans Can Make Energy A Winning Issue In 2016." His goal is to overcome Democrats' "anti-development, anti-freedom initiatives"—things like the Clean Power Plan, renewable fuel standards, green jobs, green building standards, solar subsidies, and energy efficiency mandates—by "changing tens of thousands of minds on energy issues, particularly on the morality of fossil fuels." [38]
Epstein's primary tactic is to reframe the issue, suggesting that it is "moral" to use fossil fuels because he contends "the risks and side-effects of fossil fuel use […] are incomparably smaller than the benefits." According to Epstein, "short-term and long-term, the energy policy ideal is energy liberation." [38]
He suggests that politicians should follow the Center for Industrial Progress's "America's Energy Opportunity platform" which suggests America can become "the world's energy superpower, overtaking Russia and the Middle East" by doing the following: [39]
"If we reframe the debate, making our ideals explicit, we can both win supporters and champions of the right policies, and expose the evil and anti-humanism of the wrong policies," Epstein writes. [38]
- "Free consumers and communities to choose the most affordable reliable energy sources—no subsidies or mandates for anyone.
- Free energy companies to develop all forms of energy, including coal, oil, gas, nuclear, and hydro, not just politically-correct sources.
- Free energy transporters to build the ports, pipelines, tracks, and roads they need to move energy around the globe.
- Free energy innovators to pursue demonized-but-safe technologies such as nuclear power and fracking." [39]
Alexander Epstein planned to "Energy Liberation Plan" for consideration by 2016 political candidates. While he initially planned to release the plan in October, as of February, 2016 it does not appear publicly available on the CIP website.
According to an article by Epstein in Forbes, the Energy Liberation Plan seeks to combat "backwards energy and environmental policies that are anti-development, not anti-pollution." He contends that we are "squandering the opportunity of a generation, through blind opposition to our three most potent sources of power: hydrocarbon energy (coal, oil, and gas), nuclear energy, and hydroelectric energy." [34]
Epstein concludes that "The Energy Liberation Plan is based on the timeless wisdom of our Founding Fathers, who believed that everyone has the right to produce and consume as they judge best so long as they do not violate the rights of others" (emphasis added).
"Energy abundance is essential to climate livability—since the natural climate is inherently variable, volatile, and vicious. And oil and other fossil fuels do infinitely more to make it safer than make it more dangerous. This has been proven and documented—there has been a 98% decline in the rate of climate-related deaths since significant global CO2 emissions began. For 40 years doomsayers have hidden our ever-safer climate by conflating mild, manageable global warming, which is real, with catastrophic global warming, which is not," Epstein writes. [33]
November 28, 2014
Alex Epstein offered followers of his Facebook page, "I Love Fossil Fuels," the opportunity to receive a "Book-Coal Bundle" if they purchased his book The Moral Case For Fossil Fuels on Black Friday. [31] The social media post reads:
"Wondering what to give that downcast friend or colleague for the holidays, or that curmudgeon in your family for Christmas? How about something to brighten his day! With every copy of The Moral Case For Fossil Fuels you purchase on Black Friday, you will receive a free piece of coal. A perfect combo, The Moral Case offers an uplifting view of man's potential while coal serves as a reminder that even from the blackest of black can come light. There's tremendous untapped energy inside of each of us–even within your gloomy environmentalist neighbor–so let's fire it up this Black Friday! Happy shopping, Alex"

Alex Epstein hosts a Reddit Ask Me Anything (AMA) Session titled, "I am Alex Epstein and I just wrote a book called The Moral Case FOR Fossil Fuels (published by Penguin). AMA!" In response to a Reddit user's question regarding Epstein's sources of funding, Epstein wrote he was "proud to work with the fossil fuel industry," which he believes has "historically done a horrible job of educating the public," and thinks his ideas "will help [the fossil fuel industry] make a better case for freedom." [30] Epstein states his main sources of revenue vary "depending on what [he's] working on," but in the "last year it's been a combination of public-facing (e.g., getting paid to write the book [The Moral Case for Fossil Fuels]) and giving speeches, a lot of which are to industry groups," noting that he'd be willing to "work with anyone fighting for freedom–but not for subsidies." [30] Epstein continues by writing the Center for Industrial Progress (CIP), his for-profit think tank, "has no funders," and that the business "model allows [CIP] to keep conflicts of interest to an absolute minimum," because CIP conducts its own research and writing. [30] As for Epstein's relationship with the fossil fuel industry, he writes "it's the same as everyone else–they pay for our ideas, we never accept money to voice theirs." [30]
November 13, 2014
Alex Epstein releases The Moral Case for Fossil Fuels, published by Penguin Random House. Epstein asks if everything we know about fossil fuels could be wrong, and suggests readers should "look at the big picture of fossil fuels":
"Compared with the alternatives, the overall impact of using fossil fuels is to make the world a far better place. We are morally obligated to use more fossil fuels for the sake of our economy and our environment." [28]
Epstein's writing received praise from Patrick Michaels and Matt Ridley on the book's publisher's page, which describes The Moral Case for Fossil Fuels as "the best popular-market book about climate, environmental policy, and energy," as well as an "eloquent and powerful argument for using fossil fuels on moral grounds." [28]
September 21, 2014
Alex Epstein attends the People's Climate March in New York, New York to "explain to protesters why they should stop marching against the lifeblood of civilization." [26]
Epstein, at 3:50, states:
"You know, Mother Earth wasn't a very good mother for 99.9% of history. It was only a good mother once man industrialized it. So, I think we should thank 'Father Watt' for his achievement, for giving birth to the coal-fired steam engine." [26]
June 5, 2013
Alex Epstein writes a letter published on the Center for Industrial Progress' website titled, "Don't Divest, Educate—An Open Letter to American Universities," in which he and several other notable climate change deniers, including Peter Ferrara, J. Scott Armstrong, Steve Goreham, S. Fred Singer, David Schnare, Richard Lindzen, and Matt Ridley, proclaim that they are "proud to stand in favor of fossil fuels." [32] The "undersigned scientists, philosophers, energy experts, and economists" of the letter ask for a "more rigorous education on energy and environmental issues," and "are willing to debate anytime, anywhere to defend what [they] believe is right." [32]
April 12, 2013
Alex Epstein speaks to the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers (CAPP) in an effort to help Canadian fossil fuel companies reframe climate-related communications tactics to the public. [25] Epstein, in his talk, repeats his stance that "fossil fuels improve the planet" and protect society at large from the climate. [8] [25]
Epstein encourages fossil fuel companies to switch the conversation (from the "environmentalists' argument")–and embrace their product as a communications tactic–as highlighted by the creation of his Facebook page entitled "I love Fossil Fuels." [25] Noticeably and intentionally throughout his discussion, Epstein speaks to the incredible environment we live in, which he believes is possible only because of fossil fuels. He then motivates CAPP communications audience members to spread this type of dialog throughout the public sphere. [25]

Alex Epstein debates leading environmentalist Bill McKibben on the issue of global warming. Epstein argues that "fossil fuels improve the planet" while McKibben presents the majority scientific view that the continued burning of fossil fuels will have a strongly negative impact on the environment. [8]
The debate was urged on by MasterResource's Robert Bradley who showed Epstein an article published by McKibben titled "Global Warming's Terrifying New Math" which Epstein now claims received "not nearly enough criticism."
Epstein has launched a website, fossilfueldebate.com where he presents his case on the issue — that "McKibben is dead wrong about fossil fuels and our environment." Epstein purports to take an "objective, scientific look" at why he believes fossil fuels have given us "the greatest environment in human history." [14]
October, 2012
Alex Epstein hosts the Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow's "North East speaking tour," which included visits to "CFACT's chapters at the University of Connecticut, Sienna College, and Rutgers University." [27] Epstein spoke to students about how "fossil fuels have allowed humans to better protect the environment and advance civilization and technology beyond the squalor of absolute poverty," while debunking the "catastrophic claims being made about climate change." [27] Epstein's speaking tour was a lead-up to his debate with Bill McKibben at Duke University on November 5, 2012.

Epstein's Center for Industrial Progress was listed as a co-sponsor of the Heartland Institute's Seventh International Conference on Climate Change (ICCC7). [15]
April 2 - 5, 2012
On April 2, 2012, Epstein spoke at the University of North Carolina. His speech was titled "The Green Blackout" and suggested that green energy policies are "harming both America's economy and environment." It was sponsored by The Carolina Review, a conservative student publication associated with CampusReform.org.
On April 3 he spoke at Furman University on "Why the Green Movement is Ruining America."
On April 5th he made a final speech at Pennsylvania State University titled "Fracking Amazing" which focused on the supposed benefits of hydraulic fracturing. According to Epstein, the media is "completely overblowing the risks of fracking… while completely undervaluing the benefits." [16]
June 12 - June 13, 2011
Alex Epstein attended an international conference titled "Big Footprint: Is Green the New Tyranny?" hosted by the American Freedom Alliance, a group that has been described by some sources as anti-climate science, anti-evolution and Islamo phobic in its outlook. [17]
Speakers included numerous conservative commentators and climate change skeptics such as Christopher Monckton, James Delingpole, Christopher Horner, Steve Milloy, Benny Peiser, and Brian Sussman. [18]
The American Freedom Alliance describes the event as "A Conference on Radical Environmentalism," and suggests that "the contemporary Green Movement, represented by a variety of national and international institutions, may have far exceeded its original mandate to protect the Earth." Topics debated included "The Assault on Human Exceptionalism"; "Agenda 21 and the UN Mandate for Social Revolution"; and "Transhumanism, Deep Ecology and Ecocide: How Are Shifting Social Attitudes Re-shaping Our Appreciation of Human Uniqueness?"

I am educating myself in the theory of programming languages and I wonder, why exactly do we need a Java Virtual Machine or any virtual machine at all for that matter? What are the fundamental reasons?
Is it solely for making it multi-platform? If so, why cannot we just have a platform independent language and different compilers for different platforms?
