PNC Bank Extends Presenting Sponsorship For Detroit Pistons 2011-12 Season
Wednesday, June 8, 2011
"We are delighted to have PNC Bank extend its presenting sponsorship with the Detroit Pistons," said Pistons President & CEO Alan Ostfield. "PNC Bank has been a great partner of the team and our entire organization and our relationship grown throughout the years."
"Through the first three seasons we have developed a community-driven partnership with PNC Bank and we have proven that our relationship will go much farther than a simple promotional platform," said Ostfield.
In addition to PNC Bank's participation in the Pistons Read to Achieve program and other team Community Relations efforts, the Pistons have supported PNC Bank's Grow Up Great program, its existing signature initiative with Detroit Public Schools, and utilized the combined assets of both to take the program to a higher level including the giveaway of special Grow Up Great booklets to the first 5,000 fans attending our annual Kids' Day game.
"I have attended PNC Bank's Grow Up Great school assemblies and am extremely impressed. The programs are both entertaining and educational with messaging by PNC Bank and entertainment by our mascot Hooper and Coach Aaron, our Year-Round Hoops Director," continued Ostfield. "Thousands of kids connected with the entertaining program and the important messaging providing benefits to the kids and both organizations."
Fans have benefited from the relationship in other ways as well. PNC Bank provides Pistons tickets to area youth who otherwise might not have an opportunity to attend a game. On February 2, 2011, when the area was hit with a major snowstorm, PNC Bank offered free tickets to the Pistons game that evening to honor the team's hearty fans who wished to brave the elements and attend the game. PNC Bank will continue to offer special promotions and discounts throughout the season for designed games and provide guest with additional entertainment and opportunities with giveaways and contests during games.
As presenting sponsor, PNC Bank is included in a number of marketing elements including drops/logos on all television, radio and print ads; the PNC Bank logo on Pistons tickets and pocket schedules; in-arena advertising for PNC Bank; prominent placement of its logo on the Pistons.com web site; the PNC Bank logo incorporated into Pistons staff uniforms and point-of-sale signage at all Locker Room stores.
As the Pistons presenting sponsor, PNC Bank customers will benefit from special offers on their PNC Pistons Affinity Check Cards and on the bank's industry leading rewards program – points from PNC Bank. Additionally, PNC Bank customers will receive 20 percent discounts on merchandise at official Pistons Locker Room stores.
The financial terms of the agreement were undisclosed.

Contemporary Archaeologies
A week ago Quentin Lewis' blog post on the November 2011 "Contemporary and Historical Archaeology in Theory"…
Well it happened and it appears you missed it. I was on an episode of Diggers. I expected a torrent of disapproving emails from colleagues or, at least, a few snarky comments from friends. It's been a couple of weeks and the only person I have heard from was a former student who thought it was cool that one of her professors was on television. And this was the show that was going to goad the metal detecting community into a looting frenzy?
So how did I feel about the program?
Initially, relieved. I was afraid that it would validate everything the naysayers had accused the show of doing and I would be run out of town on a rail. But it wasn't like that. It certainly was not an impeachable offense. But it wasn't very good either. None of my keen archaeological insights or witty repartee with King George and the Ringmaster made it into the show. I was reduced to a 2 minute bit at the end where I identified some of the swag the boys had recovered. How did that happen and what should happen next?
When I was approached about having the show visit one of my sites I was initially aghast. I did not want to have those two loons beeping around my site in search of "nectar." However, I was a part of the group that recommended that, to improve the show, they should work with established archaeologists whenever possible. Hoisted by my own petard! I had originally arranged for them to look for an 18th century site rumored to be where Blackbeard lived, but they were unable to secure access to the property. Instead, I had them come out to a 19th century plantation I was surveying.
The shoot went well. The guys are really quite personable when they are not on camera and being directed in their silliness. The production company had their contract archaeologist lurk just off camera, to identify artifacts and mark the provenience of the finds. I, and my students, were filmed doing the right thing and they even allowed me the opportunity to wax eloquently about how archaeology was able to give voice to the disenfranchised slaves on this remote plantation. I left that day feeling like this might be a good show after all.
Apparently, the pirate angle was just too good to let pass and the director ditched the slave topic and stretched the story line to the breaking point to make it a swashbuckling themed show. Some of my keen insights made it onto the program's website, but most of the good stuff was left on the cutting room floor. What finally made it on air was an entertaining puff piece. Not anything to really protest against, but is that the best that National Geographic or we can hope for?
I think not. There has been a shake up at the National Geographic Channels and I have already been in contact with the new program director as well as the head of research. There seems to be a genuine desire to make it a better show and include more real archaeology. They have to be careful, though. The show, as it exists, is a popular one and, as I was informed at a meeting at the recent SAA conference, National Geographic is a non-profit. The channel generates the funding that supports the society and allows them to give grants to archaeologists. So, if the channel doesn't make money, then the support that many of us have enjoyed for our projects goes away.
Would I do again? You bet. To me, this was an opportunity to reach out to a demographic that doesn't watch archaeology documentaries. If we can dispel the lingering ethical issues associated with the show (the placing of values on artifacts needs to go) and sneak in a bit more archaeology, I will be satisfied. Then we can take what we've learned and work with the National Geographic Channel to make a new show that does an better job of showing what we do.

Danny Moder and Julia Roberts to Receive GLSEN Humanitarian Award
Bob Greenblatt and Derek Hough will also be honored at Gay, Lesbian & Straight Education Network awards ceremony in October
GLSEN, the Gay, Lesbian & Straight Education Network, will honor cinematographer Danny Moder and wife Julia Roberts with its Humanitarian Award for their on-going commitment to numerous philanthropic organizations at its tenth annual Respect Awards on Oct. 17 at the Regent Beverly Wilshire Hotel.
Since being established in 1990, GLSEN has become the leading national education organization focused on ensuring safe schools for all students and promoting LGBT awareness in K-12 education; national programs like GLSEN's Day of Silence and No Name-Calling Week have been used in tens of thousands of classrooms nationwide.
To support the organization last year, Roberts donated a "Lunch with Julia Roberts" as an item for GLSEN's online auction that accompanies its Los Angeles Respect Awards each year. She raised $40,000 for the organization.
Even more than the couple's charity work, executive director Eliza Byard tells THR, "I think it's particularly important to point out the role that Danny and Julia played in bringing The Normal Heart to screen." Both Moder and Roberts are current Emmy nominees for their work on the HBO film, he for outstanding cinematography and she for best supporting actress in a miniseries or movie.
Chairman of NBC Entertainment Robert Greenblatt will be presented with GLSEN's Chairman's Award for his career as a producer and executive spanning more than two decades. "Bob Greenblatt is an exemplary role model who has been a huge support to GLSEN for years," Byard says, citing Six Feet Underas the beginning of Greenblatt's journey to "reintroduce the LGBT community to the world."
And, finally, Derek Hough — five-time winner of Dancing With the Stars and author of Taking the Lead: Lessons from a Life in Motion — is the recipient of this year's GLSEN Inspiration Award. "Hough is a new champion in the fight to end bullying. I think his new book really illuminates the kind of challenges that he has faced and the work he wants to do to make it better for the generations following him."
Jim Parsons and art director Todd Spiewak, Parsons' partner of 12 years, as well as Jeffrey and Marilyn Katzenberg — all past honorees — are back this year co-chairing the event.
In addition, GLSEN also announced the host committee for the October event including industry names Arrow EP Greg Berlanti and L.A. Galaxy soccer star Robbie Rogers, Entertainment Tonight EP Brad Bessey and husband Frank Sanchez, ABC exec vp global communications Kevin Brockman and Baby Daddy creator Dan Berendsen, People and Entertainment Weekly's Jess Cagle, Green Lantern producer Donald De Line, White Collar's Matt Bomer and Slate PR partner Simon Halls, Dancing With the Stars senior producer Deena Katz, The Following's Kevin Williamson, HBO's Michael Lombardo and his partner, architect Sonny Ward and DreamWorks Studios head of publicity Chip Sullivan. GLSEN's national board chair is Kevin Brockman, evp of global communications for Disney/ABC Television Group.
On the night of the awards, GLSEN will also announce their Student Advocate of the Year.
"In the end, what this is all about, all of the work, all of the glamor ... Is changing the experience of young people in schools from coast to coast, and supporting the student activists who are right alongside all of us, fighting these battles in their school every day," Byard explains, calling them "the stars among stars."

The city is backing initiatives to help budding entrepreneurs start businesses and to encourage economic development, as reported by Journal business writer Kevin Robinson-Avila.
Here's what launches this week.
⋄ Today ABQid Inc., kicks off its "venture accelerator" to provide training and mentoring for select startups. It is supported by a $1.9 million grant from the city.
⋄ On Wednesday, 1 Million Cups, a weekly networking event created by the Kansas City-based Kauffman Foundation, will bring aspiring and veteran businesspeople together to discuss local startup initiatives.
⋄ On Thursday, LeaderMatchABQ.com will get going with the goal of engaging talented business leaders to resolve community needs and problems.
⋄ Also, today, Central New Mexico Community College and the city will celebrate the opening of the college's new "PNM Pop-Up Pavilion" from 4 to 6 p.m. at First Plaza Galeria in Downtown next to the college's new "STEMulus Center" for entrepreneurial and professional training. The portable pavilion, financed with $250,000 from Public Service Company of New Mexico, can be set up in various locations where people can gather for lectures, demonstrations and workshops.
Also starting today, Microsoft and the city are offering a free Youth-Spark Digi Camp for seventh- and eighth-graders to learn about careers in technology at Fat Pipe ABQ, a new Downtown incubator for information technology businesses.
These exciting initiatives will complement InnovateABQ, the University of New Mexico-city partnership to create an "innovation district" near Downtown, and UNM's highly successful Science and Technology Corp., which helps entrepreneurs take university-developed research to market.
In these post-recession years, New Mexico can no longer count on government employment to prop up the state's economy. So it makes perfect sense to encourage public private partnerships to create high playing jobs to fill the gap.

On the subject of arms treaties with the Soviet Union, President Reagan famously said, "Trust, but verify." Now many Members of Congress want to do the same with public funding of elective abortion under Obamacare, but they are meeting new resistance from congressional Democrats, some of whom, nonetheless, insist they have the same goal.
The battle dates back to 2009, when the abortion funding issue held up the passage of the massive health care bill known as the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA). In March 2010, the PPACA was finally adopted when a small group of House Democrats backed away from a proposal known as Stupak–Pitts, which would have plugged the abortion funding loopholes in the PPACA and established a strict standard governing the use of the new affordability tax credits created by the bill.
The House Democrats voted for the PPACA after receiving assurances that President Obama would issue an executive order that would plug the loopholes, or, as the President put it, impose "strict compliance with prohibitions on abortion funding in health insurance exchanges" and apply the fund restrictions to separate categories like community health centers.
Today, a House Committee led by Rep. Joe Pitts (R–PA) will begin mark-up of the Protect Life Act, which would codify the Stupak–Pitts measure and put the weight of Congress behind what the Obama executive order purports to do. The bill, H.R. 358, which is also sponsored by Rep. Dan Lipinski (D–IL), has 118 cosponsors.
The reaction of certain Members of Congress to these developments has varied over time. In 2010, during a campaign debate, Senator Barbara Boxer (D–CA) said of the Hyde Amendment limiting public funds for abortion, "I think it's a good compromise right now. So that's my position, and that's why, in the health care debate, not one pro-choice senator or a member of the House that I know tried to overturn Hyde."
Now, Boxer is leading the fight against the Protect Life Act, claiming that "it tells women they can't use their private money to purchase insurance that covers a full range of health care." Section 2(c)(2) of the bill, in fact, tells women that they can use only their private money—and not government funds authorized or appropriated under the PPACA, including affordability tax credits—to purchase insurance with elective abortion coverage.
Moreover, the Hyde Amendment itself both denies payments for elective abortions and payments to "any trust fund" from which funds could be drawn to provide "health benefits coverage that includes abortions." When Boxer said to an audience in 2010 that she supported the Hyde Amendment, she was apparently referring to only part of the amendment. The Protect Life Act would address the entire scope of that amendment and make clear that the PPACA's distinctly new feature, the affordability tax credit, operates in the same manner as the Hyde Amendment. It would turn the fig leaf of the Obama executive order into a firewall.
Congress has many good reasons to maintain the separation of public funds from the practice of abortion, including the lack of public health oversight and the controversial practices of prominent agencies that deal with minors.

Diesel prices head up for second straight week
Diesel prices headed up for the second straight week, following ten consecutive weeks of declines, according to the Department of Energy's Energy Information Administration (EIA).
Diesel prices headed up for the second straight week, following ten consecutive weeks of declines, according to the Department of Energy's Energy Information Administration (EIA).
Following last week's 2.1 cent gain, the average price per gallon increased 2.4 cents this week to $3.89 per gallon. During the ten weeks of declining prices, diesel prices dropped a cumulative 31.4 cents. Prior to the previous ten weeks of declining prices, diesel prices rose a cumulative 26.5 cents over a six week span. And on an annual basis, the average price per gallon is down 6.6 cents.
The EIA recently updated its short-term energy outlook. It is now calling for diesel prices to average $3.93 in 2013 (up from $3.90) and $3.79 in 2014 (down from $3.80), with WTI crude oil at $93.17 in 2013 (up from $91.92) and $92.25 in 2014 (up from $92.17).
Regardless of the fluctuation in diesel prices, shippers are cognizant of the impact diesel prices can have on their bottom line—for better or worse.
And they continue to be proactive on that front, too, by taking steps to reduce mileage and transit lengths when possible as well as cut down on empty miles. And even through shippers want to adjust budgets in order to offset the increased costs higher fuel prices bring, it is not always an easy thing to manage.
Shippers have told LM that adjusting budgets is only part of the solution when it comes to dealing—and living—with fuel price fluctuation.

October 7, 2005 – More than three thousand students have enrolled in the Lafayette Parish school system since Hurricane Katrina. Some stayed for only a few days until their families were able to return home. Others are still here. And another wave of students enrolled this week after Hurricane Rita. At Woodvale Elementary School, more than 70 students are hurricane evacuees: about 10 percent of the school's population.
October 4, 2005 – KRVS General Manager Dave Spizale is a native New Orleanian. Join him and his wife, Jan, for their first trip back to the Crescent City since Hurricane Katrina to clean up their son's empty Uptown apartment. Produced by Beth Fertig and engineer Ivan Klisanin.
Oct. 3rd, 2005 – The Lafayette Parish school system began enrolling evacuees from Hurricane Rita on October 3rd, along with some Katrina evacuees who were forced to evacuate a second time. Parents stood in line to fill out forms at the Vermilion Conference Center on Gauthier Rd.
Sept. 30, 2005 – Louisiana's annual sugar festival was supposed to have taken place in September. But it was postponed, for the first time anyone can remember since World War II, because of Hurricane Rita. And so was the harvest. Farmers throughout coastal Louisiana are still waiting to see how badly their fields were damaged by the latest storm.

Synopsis for Captain Marvel: "The Old Cowboy"
In a small town a few miles from the great metropolis, elderly and half-daft Spanish War veteran Sam Coot just goes nuts one day and straps on some six-shooters and does some random shooting; a police car tire gets blown out; a jewelry store window gets busted; some expensive jewels go missing; and the old man disappears. His distraught granddaughter Susan seeks out Billy to tell old Sam's side of things; Billy learns the old man is hiding out on Bald Mountain, and slips away to change identities, then he and Susan fly out to the scene of the manhunt. Marvel negotiates a 2-hour headstart for himself and searches for the old guy, but before the two hours are even over, more cops show up and the manhunt intensifies, because back in town, the two crooks who did the first jewelry heist have now (with one dressed in a rented cowboy costume) robbed a payroll truck and shot four men. The real bad guys have now joined the posse. The real Sam Coot has an accident with a match, and starts a wildfire, then runs away. Captain Marvel spends some time containing and extinguishing the forest fire; the main posse withdraws toward town; the two bad guys keep looking for old Sam because he'd make an even better scapegoat dead than alive. They catch up to him, stuff some of the payroll money into his pockets, start an avalanche to squash the posse, and push the old man off the steep slope behind the avalanche. Captain Marvel zooms in, rescues Coot, rescues the posse, stops the avalanche, and then pursues the bad guys, catches them divvying up the loot, punches them both out, and turns them over to the sheriff along with their loot, clearing old Coot of the robbery charges.

Synopsis for Ibis: "The Mystery of the Missing Leprechaun!"
Ibis the Invincible and Banshee O'Brien take on their first case as Magic Inc. In his laboratory Ibis instructs young Banshee in spellcasting, until Taia appears and drags the apprentice (by the ear) away to lunch, which is interrupted by the arrival of tearful elderly Miss Agatha Egg, who asks Ibis to help her find her lost pet leprechaun. Agatha leads Ibis & Banshee to a crowded trolley terminal, where Banshee conjures his personal oracle and asks about the leprechaun, but is instead told about a nearby robbery, happening right then, across the street at a meat warehouse. The robbers are a dozen or so sprites; Ibis defeats them by animating the stolen meat, which now fights back. Banshee helpfully tries to apply the Hippogriff Charm but bungles it resulting in the sprites escaping. Outside it's raining, and there's Taia, hopping mad, in her Egyptian sunsuit, with an umbrella, carrying a raincoat and galoshes for O'Brien, and some sharp words for Ibis about proper rainwear. She's also not buying Agatha's story about a "lost" leprechaun, because as everybody knows, leprechauns can't be lost, only kidnapped. "Shades of the Sphinx, I believe Taia's right!" exclaims Ibis. Agatha names Annie O'Toole as a suspect; Ibis and Banshee go to see her; Agatha and Taia stay and try to have some tea in a restaurant, but Agatha is growing more agitated and agoraphobic by the moment. At Annie O'Toole's address, O'Brien again conjures his oracle which again diverts them toward a nearby crime happening right at that moment, and again it's the sprites, this time stealing expensive dyes from a dye works. This time, the companions recognize that the leader of the sprites looks different from the others, and deduce that he is the missing leprechaun. This guy proclaims that he is after money and is organizing all of King Oberon's sprites to gain it, then he tries to kill Ibis and Banshee with poison gas, with the Ibistick laying just out of Ibis' reach. Ibis telepathically contacts Taia, who comes to the dye works and is opposed by the sprites, but easily defeats them with the factory's water supply, because as everybody knows, no spirit can cross water or even touch it. She bravely staggers into the gas-filled room, grabs the Ibistick, and saves the boys. But now Miss Egg has disappeared! They search for her, with Taia telling Ibis to do all of the things that he normally thinks of doing anyway, and find the sprites underground, near the city's center, then she's the one to think of using a fire hydrant to kibosh the sprites. She jumps into the water under a dug-up street and retrieves a pot of gold, then reveals that the leprechaun has been with them the whole time, disguised as Agatha Egg, which Taia figured out by noticing some clues that the boys both had missed. The leprechaun gets away, but Taia's got his pot of gold and he'll always be helpless without it.

Java String Issue
Hey guys
First time poster, as i am learning Java in school, and well my teacher was unable to help me :/ (i am assuming this would be super basic for a teacher, so GG education)
This is the project (dw, i dont want you to do it for me)
Create a Java application that prompts the user to enter their personal details: First name, last name, gender, address, suburb, postcode, and phone number. Then the program displays all of your personal details to the screen as illustrated. Name the file PersonDetails.javpackage exe
import java.util.*;
public class Review2 {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.print("Enter your full name: ");
String name = scanner.next();
System.out.print("Enter your Gender: ");
String gender = scanner.next();
System.out.print("Enter your Address: ");
String address = scanner.next();
System.out.print("Enter your Suburb: ");
String suburb = scanner.next();
System.out.print("Enter your Postcode: ");
String pcode = scanner.next();
System.out.print("Enter your Phone Number: ");
String pnumber = scanner.next();
System.out.println("Your Name is : " + name + "\nYour Gender is: " + gender);
System.out.println("Your Address is: " + address + ", " + suburb + ", " + pcode);
System.out.println("Your phone number is: " + pnumber);
When i am promoted to enter my name, 'John Smith'. The word 'John' would be stored in the name variable, while 'Smith' is stored under gender, so the next prompt is then 'Whats your address?'
So its only assigning one word per variable, now as far i understand, a string should not work that way. So where is my mistake?

Re: Java String Issue
scanner.next() gets the next token (with space or end of line being the delimiter). I suggest you use nextLine() instead of next().

Re: Java String Issue
Yup. To expand on this:
Java Code:
Scanner scan = new Scanner ( System.in );
Java Code:
int integer = scan.nextInt();
Java Code:
double doubleValue = scan.nextDouble();
Java Code:
String s = scan.nextLine();
There are plenty of other cool things you can do with scanners:

Hi Kerrij,
when did you find out about the final cost of your wedding and how did it work with the payment? Did you pay anything upfront except for the deposit/the wedding package you chose?
How did you estimate the cost of your wedding. My fiance and I are having a hard time to get in touch with Beverly and we are so clueless about how to calculate how much we will be spending in the end. I hope you can help us.

So excited for you girls! i want to come to all of your weddings!!! heck, i wanna move there! lol

Once she said that it was available I told the travel agent(s) what resort I wanted and then waited for them to get back to me...then I went with the best price!
Hope this helps!
Good Luck with the move!!!!StephAli- What is your ceremony date?? I have Feb 1st @ 3 pm booked with Beverly
The thing that I am wondering about now (and maybe kerrij, you can clarify) is the thing about the "Gold Club" bracelets... I have a friend who went to this resort last year and she was saying that there are WAY more benefits if you upgrade to "gold"... I heard that you are then guaranteed the ala carte reservations, get the room safe for free, and room service?? I don't know if there is anything else or even if it is worth upgrading... We are planning on asking TA about this...
Also- we really hope we get to stay in a really nice room!! Did any other GBP Jamaica brides have room upgrades? And how did you go about securing or 'requesting' themI am so excited about how many GBP Runaway bay Bride-to-be's there are now!!! Looking forward to sharing plans with everyone over the next couple of mths!! Our group rate is secured until June 16th so we will have our full guest list by then!! woohoo!!

We had a beautiful, sunny day and she was there with us every step of the way. We had our supper at the Grill Restaurant & the food was delicious! Everyone loved it! We also decided on the reception in the Gazebo where we got married and I would highly recommend that! It is definitely worth it! We brought all of our own music and had the place rockin'! All of our guests said it was the best wedding they have ever attended. I will recommend bringing your own photographer if possible. We didn't do that but luckily we had a few friends with professional cameras. I would have been rather upset if we didn't as the resort photographer didn't show up until the ceremony was over and then he only spent maybe a half hour with us! Luckily we also had a friend with a video camera who captured all our special moments. This resort is absolutely beautiful & spotless! Our room was overlooking the pool & the ocean as were most of our wedding guests' rooms. We couldn't have gotten better treatment! All in all, I would recommend this resort to anyone who is looking for a place to get married! I was so sad to leave it & cannot wait to return for our anniversary. Good Luck to all you future GBP brides! You are in for a treat!
Hi Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!! soooo excitign for you!!! wasn't it just the BEST!!! i loved our wedding too!!!!!!
And YES the disco music was awful! people even still say how bad it was!
we took our own ipod and had a play list and plugged it into the DJs system.

So the fun continues with planning.
APPARENTLY our wedding date (April 28th / 2011) which we already had to change from May 2nd/2011 because of lack of flights.... was DOUBLE BOOKED by Beverly's assistant without her knowing about it. Our travel agent asked for Beverly's contact info to make sure all is well pretty much and our travel agent called us and let us know that our wedding date was no longer available.
ALL the trips have been booked, all the Save the Dates have gone out, and the Photographer is booked & deposits were made.
We flipped. The worst part was that she was out of the office and we couldn't get a hold of her for 3 days.
FINALLY she replied and told us that she spoke to the minister and because of the mix up on their part they're letting us have a sunset ceremony at 6:00.
It sucks because they'll be 2 weddings on our day... but I'm looking at the brighter side, we're still getting married, the date hasn't changed, and all is *sorta* well.
Either way... I don't need anymore stresses right now thank-you.
Posted 11 September 2010 - 11:25 AM
OMG how bad is that!! I am shocked. Pleased you can still have your wedding on the same date, but that is so bad!
Posted 11 September 2010 - 11:27 AM
This is exactly what i have been worrying about? No matter how much i tried to get this across to Beverly she wasnt understanding my need to know. I have given up now and will just go with the flow, what we cant afford we will have to go without :-(
Posted 11 September 2010 - 11:28 AM
This reply was to you by the way christinak82
Posted 11 September 2010 - 11:35 AM
Hey Tris,
I'm sure it will work out fine! There is another wedding there on our date too. And I think a sunset ceremony could be really pretty!! We had to move ours up to 1pm, b/c the other wedding is at 430 and that kinda sucks, but like you, I focused on the positive...the date stayed the same!

When asked after the Pro-Am about the state of his golf game, Tiger Woods responded by saying "My Game Feels Good." Woods teed off at the Honda Classic this morning on the 10th tee. He started his round at 7:35 Am and has struggled to find a round of even par.
Tiger pared his first 8 holes and then found his first birdie on the 18th, his 9th. He made the turn at 1 under par and it looked as though his game was good. He then pared his 10th hole of the tournament (number 1) and made a double bogey at the 2nd hole.
Woods was at 1 over par before he found a hard-fought birdie on the par 5 3rd hole and just like that he was back to even par in his round. Woods would make par at the par 5, 4th and then bogey at the par 3 5th.
Tiger isn't haven't a typical Tiger of old round. Heck we may never see the Tiger of old again. He made a par on 6 and 7 and then made a bogey on the par 4 8th. At the time of this article Woods was tied for 63rd and 7 strokes off the lead held by Rory Sabbatini at 5 under.
Tiger may think his game feels good, but he can't get it to translate on the course. Not yet anyway. There is still plenty of golf to be played at the Honda Classic and who knows what tomorrow will bring to the Tiger. He is currently at plus 2 with one hole left in his first round.
Update: Woods would make birdie on his 18th hole (number 9) to finish his day at 1 over par.

As the Steelers embark on their three-day minicamp offensive line coach Mike Munchak has two big things going for him – center
Munchak shared his thoughts on both topics.
- On center Maurkice Pouncey and what he brings:
"He's a natural leader. These guys really rally around him. They really are encouraged by watching the way he worked out after being hurt in the opener. How he's come back and all the time he's put in this building to get the chance to be part of these workouts again. Really excited where he's at. I'm really excited as a line coach (when) you know you have a guy like him locked up for a long term. Center is one of the building blocks and he's the leader so it's a lot of plusses and I think so far so good for him."
On how ready Pouncey is:
"For him he's got to be careful not to be too anxious. We don't play until September. He's definitely ready. He not limited at all. He can pretty much do everything, so now it's just getting rust off, getting comfortable. This is the first phase with helmets and assignments and confidence and those things. Then training camp is the next one and then preseason games and each step along the way. But he looks great and we just have to be smart of how much work we give him to do."
On the tackle position, with the competition there:
"I think the best thing an offensive coach can have is competition and I think we have that. We have (Kelvin) Beachum working at left tackle and Mike (Adams) and Marcus (Gilbert). I think you got some guys that can really do some good things and again I'm asking them to do different things than they've done in the past. They've had three line coaches in three years so everything is not going to change overnight in what we want to do. I'm kind of watching to see what they're good at, trying to hopefully improve their game as we go forward.
"I think it's creating good competition. They're going to be battled tested and ready to go. Mike has been playing both sides. He's been the one pushing on both sides.
Guy Whimperhas been obviously the fourth guy. We've got four veteran tackles. We're going to have some good football players and some tough decisions."

Resale Royalty. Welcome to Sweetie Pies. Funeral Boss. Salvage City. If you are a fan of reality-based TV, these shows may be familiar to you.
All of them take place in St. Louis. And all of them were produced by St. Louis-based television production companies Coolfire Originals and NoCoast Originals, who often work in partnership to create what they call "unscripted" shows.
"When we started our production company four years ago, a lot of people said 'Can you really do that in St. Louis? Don't you need to be in Los Angeles or New York City?' said Jeff Keane, founder, president and CEO of Coolfire Originals. "And we said no, we think we can do it right here. And we think we can use the fact that we're in the middle of the country and we're finding characters, we're finding businesses, we're finding ideas that are sort of centered here. And we think we can use that as an advantage. And sure enough, that's the way it's played out."
Unlike some reality TV shows, their shows never bring on writers to help make things interesting, said Brad Carsten, senior partner and co-founder of NoCoast Originals.
Carsten also wants the characters in his shows to be authentic, which is part of what drew him to the Midwest.
"There is a Midwestern ethos, ethic, caliber of work, understanding and aesthetic that is real and is apparent in the number of people living really interesting lives between the two coasts," said Carsten.
Sue McCarthy is one of Carsten's Midwest characters. She and her daughters own Women's Closet Exchange in South County and star in Resale Royalty.
"I said from the beginning all I really wanted was a show that a woman and her family and her twelve-year-old daughter could sit down and watch and be proud of, and that is what came to pass," said McCarthy.
Carsten's company, NoCoast Originals, focuses on finding characters to be featured in unscripted shows. Once the show is picked up by a network, his company also works to merchandise the show. In addition to thinking of show concepts, Keane's company, Coolfire Originals, does the work in the middle; shooting the video and creating the content that ends up on television.
St. Louis on the Air provides discussion about issues and concerns facing the St. Louis area. The show is produced by Mary Edwards and Alex Heuer and hosted by veteran journalist Don Marsh.

10 Tech Deals that Defined the Decade – Part 2
Concluding our series on the tech deals that defined this first decade of the 21st century, here are my top 5.
Concluding our series on the tech deals that defined this first decade of the 21st century, here are my top 5.
There has been a fair amount of talk recently about Second Life and mySpace, which has left me wondering: what happens when physical and virtual space meet? What are the legal challenges that those world will meet. In this entry, I try to analyze what I suspect will become a bigger issue down the road. Many of the ideas that I am writing about in this entry are the results of offline and online discussions I've had with a number of people over the last couple of months. It all really started when, in a discussion about video, Mary Hodder mentioned the words "community standards". For some reason, those two words launched a whole new set of thoughts in my mind. In the early 90s, when I was in journalism school, I took a class on censorship. One of the interesting things our teacher highlighted was the idea that there was a grassroot movement appearing around the country to censor certain types of books. He highlighted some basic efforts at the time to remove books about evolution from high school bookshelves in the southern United States and how those efforts seemed separate initially but seems to pop up like mushrooms…

Now I'm not an old man by any means, but I've been around on this floating rock they call Earth long enough to know two things: 1) NBA referee Joey Crawford is terrible at his job and cares more about people saying his name in any conversation about a game that he calls than the game itself, and 2) We shouldn't even know the names of sports officials. I don't mean that second part like, "Refs aren't people, they're scum!" as much as I mean that if a guy does his job right, nobody's going to say things like, "Jim Joyce ruined that baseball game" or "Joey Crawford is a stain on the National Basketball Association."
That said, here's NBA referee and grown ass man Joey Crawford holding up a professional basketball game so he can stare down a ball boy. Granted, that ball boy kind of looked like he had an attitude and half-assed his job, but when it involves Crawford, I'd probably give Satan the benefit of the doubt.
NCAA Basketball: Wright State at Georgetown – 7 PM ET on Fox Sports 1
Huge tip of the flat-brimmed cap to college basketball for coming out swinging last night. I can't remember a season that started out with as much excitement as was offered up last night, with Kansas pounding Duke and Michigan State making sure that Kentucky's term as the top team in the country was a short one.
NCAA Football: Ball State at Northern Illinois – 8 PM ET on ESPN2
NCAA Football: Miami (OH) at Kent State – 8 PM ET on ESPNU
Since when do we have two MAC games on at the same time on a weeknight? You don't pit MACTION against MACTION, ESPN. That's how rips are formed in the space-time continuum.
NBA: Knicks at Hawks – 8 PM ET on ESPN
NBA: Thunder at Clippers – 10:30 PM ET on ESPN
Here is a Tweet from the Hawks, bragging about the offense…
How many teams have scored at least 102 points in every game? Oh that's right…just one pic.twitter.com/XE1OvLkX2b

… of a 4-3 team. Of course, if the playoffs started today, the Hawks would be a 3 seed, so I guess they should brag away. Isn't that right, Kate Upton?

Alex London's thriller Proxy propels the reader into a not-so-distant dystopian future in Colorado. An orphan teen living in the Valve, the slum of Mountain City, Sydney Carton is forced to take on years of debt just to secure his meager existence. And like many orphans, he's repaying this debt by serving as a proxy, made to take any physical punishments intended for his patron. Unfortunately for Syd, his patron is the incorrigible, spoiled Knox Brindle, son of the wealthy head of SecuriTech.
Throughout their lives, Knox has been forced to watch Syd suffer the painful effects of the electro-muscular disruption (EMD) stick, used to deliver physical discipline. But since they've never met and he's always watched onscreen, it's been easy to remain detached. Now it seems Knox is responsible for the death of a young woman, and Syd will have to pay with his life. An unusual turn of circumstance throws the teens together in the same place at the same time, and it turns out that nothing is as it seems. Syd's life may be worth more than anyone realizes.
Baltimore native London has created a detailed science fiction world that takes our current technology and debt-driven society to a whole new level. He manages to put a fresh spin on some time-honored storytelling tropes, creating an exciting, fast-paced novel that makes for a great summer teen read. Proxy is rife with both big thoughts and big action, as London explores the complex nature of friendship, sacrifice and the value of human life.

Lambrix, P. and R—nnquist, R. (1993). Terminological Logic Involving Time and Evolution: A Preliminary Report. Technical Report LiTH-IDA-R-93-10, Department of Computer and Information Science, Link—ping University, Sweden. Accepted to International Symposium on Methodologies for Intelligent Systems, Trondheim, Norway, June 15-18, 1993. (bibtex),
Abstract: Although terminological logics as well as temporal reasoning has received considerable attention in the knowledge representation community in the last years, few attempts have been made to integrate those fields. We study the combination of the temporal logic LITE and a terminological logic to obtain a temporal terminological logic. We emphasize defining a terminological logic (T-LITE) where the extensions of concepts are time-dependent in the following sense : first, the individuals belonging to a concept are appearances of objects in a temporal context; secondly, we allow concepts to be defined in terms of developments of objects. Formal semantics for T-LITE are provided.

Stuff Educated Black People Like
Everything You've Ever Wanted To Know About EBP
#27 Sheer Pantyhose and Patterned Tights
Whether you are an attorney, doctor, or upwardly mobile socialite, you make sure that whatever you are wearing out looks good on you. From the top of your head to the bottom of your feet, your look shows everyone what strata of the socio-economic ladder you belong too. So you make sure your wig is tight, your dress is right, and your legs are hard to miss. So you never wear an outfit without… [Read more]
#26 Naming Their Children
test 1We Educated Black People LOVE to give our children names that show that "we've arrived!" Names that won't leave the teacher guessing where the accent should be. Names that don't necessarily reveal the child's race like Nina(often times followed by Simone), Melanie, Noah(many are huge fans), Drew, Aiden, Nile and Gavin. Gone is the day where Shaquan, De'Ja-nae and LaPonicah… [Read more]
#25 Gated Communities
After moving to Atlanta in droves, EBP will discover their new found love and desire for gated communities. The average EBP is very familiar with gated communities; whether they grew up with a gate at the front of their neighborhood or went to an HBCU such as Hampton or Howard University that was equipped with a security guard as well. Not only is this neighborhood feature the pièce de résistance… [Read more]
#24 Foreign Cars
Educated Black People like foreign cars. Something about the undergraduate degree just makes American made cars inadequate. Now, the type of B.A. determines where the foreign car is from. Any Liberal Arts degree is automatically a Japanese Import (with a heavy affinity towards the Honda Accord). Science or engineering degrees are not as simple. Sometimes these degrees can go for "near luxury"brands… [Read more]
#23 Deck Shoes
EBPs love to be "the exception." There is no better way to separate themselves from regular BP, than by an EBP's choice of footwear. The deck shoe or boating shoe is very popular in the EBP community. Most EBP prefer the Sperry brand of deck shoe. EBPs love wearing their deck shoes with shorts, khakis, or seersucker pants. The shoes complete the ultimate EBP weekend look. However, this… [Read more]
#22 Passing the BAR
For those EBP who manage to survive law school, graduation comes with feelings of mixed emotions. Of course they are happy to be done with the 3 year ass whipping that is law school, but are also dreading the preparation to study for the Bar exam. During the time when an EBP is studying for the Bar, they will not be visible to their social circle, unless it consists of other EBP studying for the Bar…. [Read more]
#21 Hiding Their Drama
EBP have the same problems as UEBP or WP. However, EBP take pride in hiding their drama from friends or co-workers. By allowing their drama to be brought into public light, EBP appear nothing more than the UEBP stereotypes portrayed by the media. Whether it be man problems, problems at work or catty-chick stuff; EBP will go to great lengths to protect their polished EBP public appearance. For there… [Read more]
#20 Wine & Cheese Affairs
If you are an EBP, chances are you have attended a wine and cheese affair. It all starts with an invitation. This will not be a phone call, text or paper invitation. It will be an Evite; other methods of invitation are unacceptable for EBP. Only real EBP know what an Evite is. Your host will make the event as discreet as possible by only inviting a select few. The Evite will usually indicate that the… [Read more]
#19 Displaying Photographs
Whenever someone visits the home or office of an EBP, they will notice that photographs are usually displayed. While this is a normal practice for all races, EBP do things a little differently. At first glance one will notice the pictures of family members; then, it will be spotted, perhaps in its own distinctive frame. It is a picture of your host shaking hands or in a casual pose with a celebrity…. [Read more]
#18 MEGA Churches
Educated Black People like MegaChurches. There's something about these churches that draw EBP in large numbers. The Pastors/Reverends/Bishops at the Mega Churches usually have advanced degrees in Divinity called a Doctor of Divinity. These church leaders usually use words with several syllables – something that EBP love. An example of these words would be: multiplicity, bewildered, extravagance,… [Read more]
#17 Spas
Educated Black People like spas. There are many reasons why EBP like spas, but the main reason is that they offer exclusivity – the one thing an EBP constantly craves. They can make appointments, arrive 5 minutes early and be worked on immediately. An EBP would not be caught dead in a typical(nobody speaks English) nail salon(shop) to get a manicure and/or pedicure; those are the only services… [Read more]
#16 Howard University
For a large number of potential EBP in high school, Howard University is their Mecca. Throughout the long selection process, Howard is viewed in the same light as a move to Atlanta. If the potential EBP is lucky enough, they will be invited to a HU "College Night" where alumni will come to speak about the greatness of Howard. The alum will probably be dressed in a bow tie and tweed jacket, and… [Read more]
#15 Facebook (Pre-2005)
Educated Black People Like Facebook. This is the social networking site of choice for most EBP. Not the Facebook of today, but the Facebook, pre-2005, when only college students aka "educated people" could join and there weren't all those new applications to add to your profile. In the good old days, one had to have a valid college email address to join, now "everyone can join". The reason… [Read more]
#14 Correcting Others
Educated Black People Like correcting others. It does not matter the topic or situation, an EBP will never miss an opportunity to correct someone else. Hell, they'll probably correct this post. An EBP will stop at nothing to show off their so called "educated" status. Whether it be correcting a co-worker on a point of information, or telling their 90 year old grandmother that it's pronounced… [Read more]
#13 Oprah
EBP like Oprah. She has an exceptional ability that most other EBP wish they had – the ability to hold the attention of people and make them do, like, or buy just about anything. Oprah is educated and pulled herself up from nothing to be one of the most notable names in the world. EBP are constantly fighting at work or any place else to get ahead and/or be heard, while Oprah can tell white people… [Read more]
#12 Weddings
EBP like weddings. They enjoy the Pomp and Circumstance that comes along with an EBP wedding; an invitation only affair, filled with other EBP. Making weddings exclusive events are a favorite of EBP. Long gone are the days of a traditional church wedding. The advanced EBP now enjoy "destination weddings". They can prevent the undesirables from attending because they usually cannot afford it and… [Read more]
#11 Jazz
One will only need to be in the company of an EBP for a short time before they hear about the EBPs love for jazz. Jazz has the uncanny ability of touching an EBP's inner soul and heart, and making them feel them feel the pains and problems of the past. It is also the preferred date, as it shows true sophistication and understanding, while always impressing the ladies. EBPs feel like that they cannot… [Read more]
#10 Getting Dressed Up
Educated Black People like getting dressed up. No matter the event or time of day, EBP will over-dress. EBP will spend half of their salary, maybe more, on a new outfit for a party, family reunion, or even a school play. Even if the event is casual, an educated black male will usually wear a necktie, maybe a suit, if its after 5 p.m. When considering to over-dress, the EBP will think about who will… [Read more]
#9 First Fridays
Today is a special day in the hearts of Educated Black People, for it's their favorite day of the month: FIRST FRIDAY! Unlike uneducated black people and their love affair with the 1st and 15th of every month, educated Black People wait in anticipation for the First Friday. This is the day that upscale events are held so educated black people can mingle among others of their social ilk. These events… [Read more]
#8 Talking About Uneducated Black People
Besides themselves, EBP like talking about uneducated Blacks who disgrace their race. Most EBP hate those Blacks who are loud in public and draw unnecessary attention to themselves. EBP especially get embarrassed when they are out with their white friends and they run into an uneducated Black person. They usually want to run over and slap the uneducated Black in order to stop whatever stupid behavior… [Read more]
#7 Barack Obama
Educated Black People Like Barack Obama, but it's not for the reasons you think. Yes, Obama is an Educated Black Person, so of course we LOVE him. However, there are other reasons educated blacks like the Senator from Illinois. Another reason is that he's the first Black person to run for public office without going all Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson on America. Obama has not once gotten the NAACP… [Read more]
#6 Town Homes
Educated Black people Like town homes. When an educated Black person gets a new job upon graduation, they usually purchase a town home. This is a symbol of status. It's the convenience of a starter home without the burden of doing yard work. In places like New York, most educated Blacks will purchase a brownstone. A town home is a symbol of status because it shows the world that they have "made… [Read more]
#5 Advanced Degrees
Educated Black people like advanced degrees. What better way to show that you are educated than to get a slew of degrees to prove it! Educated Black people typically like to obtain their advanced degrees from universities that they find to be reputable. They have nothing against University of Phoenix, but something just doesn't seem quite right about that place. It reminds them of those "degree… [Read more]
#4 Poetry Slams
Educated Black People LOVE poetry slams. Poetry slams are events where either professional poets or audience members get up and recite original poems, songs and speeches. Educated black people are large attendees of these "slams" because we believe that this form of entertainment is much better then going to a bar, listening to music, enjoying a long walk, or anything else that uncultured people… [Read more]
#3 Baked Chicken
We've all heard the joke that all black people love fried chicken. That's not true. EVERYBODY loves fried chicken – white or black. It's even on the buffet at Chinese restaurants! So let's just scratch that idea right now. Educated Black People have a more sophisticated taste. We like BAKED CHICKEN. Some even go so far as to use lemon pepper seasonings, but this is only for the upper… [Read more]
#2 Neo Soul
Educated Black people like Neo Soul. For those of you who don't know what this genre of music is about, I have included a short description. Neo soul (also known as nu soul) is a music genre and an umbrella term for current soul music. The music is usually a hybrid of 1970s-influenced soul music with influences from jazz, funk, hip hop house music. The term neo soul was originated by Kedar Massenburg… [Read more]
#1 Fraternities and Sororities
Educated Black people like to talk about which fraternity (also called a "frat") or sorority they pledged in college. Some of them even go to college with the intent to pledge a Greek lettered organization, then drop out of school. Unlike predominately white fraternities or sororities, these Black Greek letter organizations (or "BGLOs") are for life. Many members wear Greek paraphernalia… [Read more]

Bassman drove me to the start line at the Inverness Royal Academy so that I didn't have to faff about trying to find a place to park my car. I got impatient waiting for the queue of traffic to inch its way to the drop-off point so I leaped out of the car to walk the last 10 minutes under my own steam. Once I got to the IRA grounds, I jogged to the portaloos, ostensibly as a warm-up but really because I was desperate for a pee. I did my mobilising stretches whilst waiting my turn and then, on the back of some discussion on the Facebook Chi Running forum about what constitutes a proper warm-up, jogged slowly up and down the lanes of the car park for 5 minutes and then did a couple of strides to further wake up my legs. And then I queued for the loos again.
I made it to the starting area with five minutes to spare, plugged myself into my iPod, and switched on the Garmin. While we were waiting to start, one of the super-whizzy runners came tearing through the ranks (perhaps from his own last-minute toilet stop), hurdled over the fence keeping us all corralled, and kicked the runner beside me square in the face. He didn't stop and she was more stunned than hurt, but his behaviour was a stark contrast to the banter and support going on amongst the mid-pack runners.
But I digress...I crossed the start line almost 8 1/2 minutes after the starting horn, at the usual mid-pack too-fast-to-be-sustained pace. The first quarter-mile or so is up a steepish hill and there was much stopping and walking by overly-enthusiastic participants. But not by me! I settled into a very comfortable pace and made it to the top of the hill feeling fine.
I should perhaps point out that I did not have any kind of plan for this race and no particular finishing time in mind (although I did hope that I would finish faster than the 66 minute 6-mile run that I did in training). The point of this race was to get an idea of my level of fitness in preparation for training for the 10k at the end of October, but I also just wanted to enjoy myself. So, even though I had the Garmin switched on, I didn't really look at it. I wanted to allow myself to run at whatever pace felt comfortable without holding myself back or forcing myself to speed up. This was my 'Woo hoo, I'm running again!' race, and that was all that was important to me.
I had the race that I wanted. The sun was shining, there was a slight breeze, and I allowed myself plenty of time to notice the gorgeous hills across the river. I had small chats with various people - the guy running with his black lab, who wondered where the next water station was (the guy, not the dog, although I'm sure that the dog was wondering as well); the woman wearing amazing purple & green patterned tights that I had to express my appreciation of; the two women who ran the same pace as me for over a mile (until I pulled away - no, I'm not competitive at all!). My legs were filled with Chi Running happiness; for the first time in a while, I knew that I was landing on my mid-foot and, for the first time ever, I really felt that I was floating my heels up behind me. No twinges, no pain, not even any tiredness. Wowzer.
The only small hitch was that I struggled a bit cardio-wise from mile 4.5 to mile 5.5 but, with hindsight, this needn't have been an issue at all. I think that what happened was that I moved from the 4:3 breathing that I had been doing in my easy training runs (and, let's be honest, they all were run at an easy pace) to 3:2/pushing-myself-a-bit breathing but I interpreted this as 'Oh no, I'm going too fast, I can't make it, my hip/calf/achilles are going to get injured, I'd better slow down.' Sheesh. Running...it's all in your head.
I perked up for the last 1/2 mile and crossed the finish line with a total distance of 6.22 miles and a chip time of 63:07. This puts me almost exactly half-way in the rankings for women in my age group, which I feel is a reasonable position to be in. If I could figure out how to import the table of my splits from the Garmin, I'd put that here too, but that's a technological step too far. So, in a slightly less official format, here they are:
Mile Average Pace
1 10.14
2 10.17
3 10.02
4 10.06
5 10.11
6 10.17
(0.22) 9.23
I have to say, I'm pretty impressed with my consistency as well as with my burst of speed for the last quarter-mile.
So that's it. I ran a race and didn't get injured (although, as Adam is fond of pointing out, what counts is how you feel the day after). More importantly, though, I ran a race and had fun doing it. I think that I had forgotten how much fun running can - and should - be.

Filed under EEEWWWWW. Meet "Family Cloth." Its the alternative to toilet paper. Wipe your ass on a pinkish piece of cloth and wash it over and over instead of "wasting money" by flushing toilet paper down the commode. Only liberals and hippies think that killing trees and flushing toilet paper is somehow damaging to the environment. Their grasp of science insists that water and trees are non-renewable, but think that putting biomedical waste in the family washer is hunky-dory.
From Etsy here:
Family cloth is the environmentally friendly alternative to toilet paper. No longer do you need to (quite literally) flush your money down the toilet. Instead you can re-use it.
Simply toss your used family cloth into a small bin, and at the end of the day throw it in the washing machine. It's softer than toilet paper, and made of 100% cotton. Great for everyone…especially those little ones whose bums are extra sensitive!
Why are liberals so absolutely consumed with their urine and feces?? Eco-worshipping whackjobs are self-loathing copromaniacs who are obsessed with their own bodily waste. I have documented previously how they want to restrict everyone to one piece of toilet paper, want to flush the toilet only once per week, and even reusing tampons. They even want to ban flushing toilets altogether. They even made a battery that requires you to pee into it to power it, getting urine all over your fingers. Never mind that engineers solved the whole urine and feces problem over 150 years ago. Shit rolls downhill, and it gets filtered and even recycled at sewage treatment plants, returning fresh water to the city supplies. But that's not good enough for liberals. Because corporations.

If you were a government energy policy advisor, what would you recommend as an energy policy for the 21st Century? Why?
- print Print
- list Cite
If I were in this position, I would recommend a diversified set of energy sources. I would try my best to move away from fossil fuels in general. I would try to use natural gas before petroleum or coal. I would also try to reduce our dependence on foreign oil. I would certainly consider using nuclear energy. I would make these recommendations for a combination of economic, political, and environmental reasons.
I would propose that we move away from fossil fuels largely for environmental reasons. We need to try to slow global warming and reducing the use of fossil fuels is one way in which to do this. Since natural gas is generally cleaner than coal or oil, I would suggest that we use more of that unless "fracking" proves to be very harmful to the environment. For the same reasons, I would propose the use of things like wind power, solar power, and possibly nuclear power.
I would propose natural gas also for economic reasons. There is plenty of natural gas here in the US. This means that using natural gas would create jobs here at home. That is certainly an important goal.
I would propose using less foreign oil for political reasons. Much oil comes from unstable areas of the world and/or is controlled by morally shaky regimes. It would be preferable to be able to stop needing such regimes so much for our energy security.
For these reasons, I would suggest a heavy move towards natural gas, sustained efforts to develop renewables, and a long look at whether nuclear is a good idea.

Integral Education Course - Unit 2
Unit Summary:
Humanity is in a process of evolution from one generation to the next, but we still do not know where we are developing to.
In fact, nature is bringing us to the perfect state in stages. Up until now, we evolved by a necessary and obligatory force, and we felt a crisis in many areas of life. From now on, we can improve, mitigate, and hasten our entire development through a nourishing and suitable environment.
We need to build an environment that will have a good influence on everyone, both adults and children, that will teach us how to be connected together, and as a result, we will feel a sense of warmth and a great confidence in life.
In this unit we will learn about:
- The evolutionary process of humanity.
- The environment as a model for development.
- Conscious and unconscious development.
- The system of connection between all parts of nature.
Guidelines for the student for the best use of this education kit:
- Please study the lessons of this unit (in order) one after the other. Each lesson forms the basis for understanding the next lesson.
- Attentively watch and read the lesson, and do your best to "connect" to it. This entire course is an adventure, so prepare yourself to enter into the material accordingly! :)
- Read the text of the lesson (found in the Transcript Text), and personally summarize the main points of the lesson in a few sentences.
- Complete the activity tasks for the student, found in the "Engage Yourself" part of the lesson.
- Optional: How deep and wide do you want to go? Deepen and broaden your knowledge of each topic by using the enrichment materials—digging deeper into the "References" and any videos or material from the lesson that spark interest in you. Although the Reference material is listed as optional, it is highly recommended to go through it.
- After studying all the lessons of the unit, answer the final exam questions in the Unit Summary at the end, and complete the feedback form.
