How to Make Better Decisions
March 13, 2011
Hi Greg,
So many really great points in this post. Your final paragraph is really important. I think so many people are afraid to make the wrong choice and end up making no choice at all. This of course leads nowhere except to procrastination and is totally ineffective. Yes, we will all make mistakes, it is part of living, but if we learn from our mistakes and don't keep making the same ones over and over again, they were not for naught. Great point about how if we know we have made a bad decision, we need to make another decision to reverse it and do something about it. It is not always easy to accept that fact that we did something really dumb – and undo it. I have been known to do that on more than one occasion. You know the times when you know full well that you really need to get yourself out of a situation made by a bad decision, but being stubborn or thinking you can change things to make it "work"? Trying to minimize occurrences of this in my life
Thanks for sharing your insights!

March 13th, 2011 at 9:03 amThanks, Julie. I think we all have made some pretty bad decisions, yet when I think back, most of my regrets have to do with not doing anything when I knew I should have. Problems don't get any easier to deal with by waiting, they usually fester and get worse.
btw. If you have a chance, read the Ericsson paper on deliberate practice that I linked to in the post. Excellent!

And perhaps this "A good decision doesn't have to be perfect, it only needs to get the job done" is the most poignant point in all of this article. An article, may I add, filled with mind-creaking (or indeed, heart-moving) insight.
As ever, Greg, well shared.
P.s. Just done some business out in Poland. Is there anything of yours still live, public or existing that I should have spotted while I was out there?
Greg Reply:
March 15th, 2011 at 5:10 amThanks Ben. I hope you enjoyed Poland. I spent some of the best years of my life there and still miss it.

That Ericsson paper is nearly 50 tightly-packed pages long! I've taken the decision not to read it – I hope I don't regret it!
But another excellent post – thanks from one of your many silent but enthusiastic followers!

I think you can get the gist from the 10,000 hour rule, but some people like to read the original source. Gladwell's "Outliers" and Geoffrey Colvin's "Talent is Overrated" both cover it pretty well if you're interested.
Always glad to hear from enthusiastic readers, silent or otherwise!

Great article! Too often, we get stuck in our own ruts, and we make un-engaged choices that either keep us stuck or throw us off to a wrong path. Getting out of our comfort zones to experience new things and gain new perspectives will facilitate better choices.
Really enjoyed your article… thank you!

Greg, thanks for the excellent post. It is very useful. I would recommend it.

The Next Mars Rover
Illustration courtesy Caltech/NASA
With luck, a NASA rover called Curiosity will launch in the next few weeks and have a smooth ride to Mars, arriving in August of next year. Once there, the robot will be lowered to the red planet's surface by a giant cable, as shown in the artist's rendering above, part of a new system for landing large craft on other worlds.
(Related: "Next Mars Rover Landing Site Named—Gale Crater.")
But first, the Curiosity rover has to ward off the "Mars curse."
In the space business, jokes about the curse have sharp edges. In the half-century since humans first tried to send a probe to the red planet, roughly two thirds of the 39 attempted missions to Mars have met a bad end. Some spacecraft plummeted back to Earth, while others fell silent partway through the trip. One Soviet craft exploded just after lifting off; another burned up attempting to land on Mars.
Earlier this month, a Russian spacecraft designed to travel to Mars's moon Phobos got stuck in Earth orbit shortly after launch. So far, engineers have been unable to diagnose the problem.
For the latest NASA attempt, the stakes are high: At a whopping 2,000 pounds (900 kilograms), the Curiosity rover will be the biggest and most complex object yet landed on another planet. And the overall mission has a price tag to match—$2.5 billion for the rover, spacecraft, and other elements.
"Mars may interfere with us," NASA's Peter Theisinger, the rover's program manager, conceded at a prelaunch news briefing November 10. "Any entry, descent, and landing on Mars is a place where you ... bite your nails a little bit. It's not a risk-free environment."

Russian space workers study the gleaming Phobos-Grunt spacecraft a week before its November 9 launch from Kazakhstan. Now decades of planning poured into the ship seem likely to go to waste.
A gargantuan spacecraft loaded with experiments from around the world, Phobos-Grunt was supposed to be Russia's comeback mission to Mars. The spacecraft's ill-fated predecessor, Mars 96, tumbled into the Pacific Ocean in November 1996. Russia's two previous Mars missions, both launched in 1988, also ended in failure.
Shortly after launch, Phobos-Grunt was slated to fire its engine and boost the craft into a higher orbit so it could be pushed out of Earth's gravity and toward Mars. But the engine missed its cue, stranding the craft high above Earth. If the problem is not fixed by early December, Phobos-Grunt will miss its window for flying to Mars, Russian space agency chief Valery Popovkin told reporters earlier this month.
The "chances to accomplish the mission are very slim," Russia's deputy space chief Yitaly Davydov said Tuesday, according to Russia's Interfax news agency. Later in the day, though, the European Space Agency established contact with the craft for the first time, raising hopes it can be saved.

The discus-shaped British probe launched from Kazakhstan in June 2003 along with the Mars Express spacecraft. That craft made it into orbit, and Beagle 2 was successfully deployed for its planned Christmas Day landing.
But then the probe vanished without a trace. Investigators said the lander's airbags or parachutes might have failed, slamming Beagle 2 into the ground at high speed—but the exact cause of the loss remains a mystery. (See "Mars Lander Beagle 2 Remains Silent.")
"It is difficult to land on Mars, there's no doubt about it," Colin Pillinger, who led the spacecraft's development, told reporters shortly after Beagle 2 went quiet. "You are facing hazards that you cannot quantify and you cannot prejudge."

Failure to Unfold
Photograph by Otis Imboden, National Geographic
Crowds of photographers in Florida document the seemingly flawless launch of the first U.S. spacecraft sent to Mars, Mariner 3, in November 1964. Liftoff was the last stage of the mission to go right.
The NASA spacecraft was due to fly by Mars and photograph the planet up close. Success would have given the United States bragging rights as the first country to send a functional spacecraft to the red planet. By the time Mariner 3 launched, all five of the Mars-bound craft launched by the Soviets had failed.
However, Mariner 3 did no better. A cover that was supposed to peel off a few minutes after launch clung to the spacecraft, preventing its solar panels from unfolding. The useless, unpowered ship entered orbit around the sun.
The Mars curse may have claimed Mariner 3, but NASA's Mariner 4 mission, launched less than a month later, escaped the hex to send back the first closeups of the Martian surface.

No Return

Engineers tinker with the Mars Observer spacecraft two weeks before its launch from Cape Canaveral in Florida in September 1992.
Bristling with instruments to study Mars's minerals, atmosphere, and magnetic field, Mars Observer was billed as NASA's triumphant return to Mars after a 17-year gap. The United States hadn't sent a mission there since launching the wildly successful Viking landers in 1975. (Related: "Viking Mission May Have Missed Mars Life, Study Finds.")
"America is going back to Mars," proclaimed Wesley Huntress, NASA's head of solar system exploration, just before launch.
Three days before the vehicle was scheduled to start orbiting Mars, though, engineers lost contact. A NASA investigation concluded that the most probable cause of the accident was a fuel-pipe explosion that would have thrown Mars Observer into what NASA called "a catastrophic spin," draining the batteries and disrupting the craft's software.
In all likelihood, investigators said, the crippled spacecraft continues to circle the sun, still spinning.

Metric Miscommunication

Solar panels catching the sun, the Mars Climate Orbiter circles the red planet in an artist's rendering. Unfortunately for NASA, life did not imitate art.
After the 1992 failure of the $1.6-billion Mars Observer, NASA decided to focus on smaller, cheaper missions to Mars. The Mars Climate Orbiter, which cost less than $200 million and was meant to study Martian weather, was a product of NASA's new way of doing business.
After launching from Florida's Cape Canaveral in December 1998, the spacecraft got all the way to Mars before vanishing on September 23, 1999. Engineers determined that the ship had dipped too low into the Martian atmosphere and had probably burned up. (Related pictures: "Mars Probe Lost in Space?")
A review found that one set of engineers had relied on metric measurements while another had stuck with the old, nonmetric values, leading to fatal software errors.
Less than three months after Mars Climate Orbiter was lost, its sister spacecraft, the Mars Polar Lander, smashed into the Martian surface.
"These two failures have given us a wake-up call," NASA science official Ed Weiler told reporters afterward. "And we are going to respond to it." The troubles led to management shake-ups and the cancellation of a 2001 Mars lander.

UTEP HOOPS: Meet Freshman Trey Touchet
POSTED: Wednesday, June 18, 2014 - 6:13pm
UPDATED: Wednesday, June 18, 2014 - 6:38pm
El Paso, TX (KTSM) — As we inch ever closer to the official start of college basketball practice, anticipation is rising for UTEP and their 6 incoming freshmen. Wednesday, one of them made their introduction to the media, guard Trey Touchet.
The 6-foot-2 shooting guard out of St. Thomas More HS in Lafayette, LA signed with UTEP in November. Touchet is a two-time recipient of the Gatorade Louisiana Boys Basketball Player of the Year the state player of the year by USA Today as a junior.
Touchet averaged 18.3 points, 6.4 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.5 steals per game, leading the Cougars (30-6) to the Class 4A semifinals. The 185-pound freshman shot 61 percent from the field, 42 percent from 3-point range and 79 percent from the free-throw line and led the Cougars to the Class 4A state title as a junior and to the semifinals as a senior.
Off the court, Touchet has a 4.0 gpa. A member of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, he has volunteered on behalf of Habitat for Humanity, The Extra Mile's adopt-a-family initiative and Miles Perret Cancer Services' Games of Acadiana.
"We think Trey is a really smart player who has been exceptionally well coached," said Head Coach Tim Floyd said. "His ability to drive and ability to shoot impacts winning."
Touchet says he will primarily play the 2-guard position but will do whatever he's asked including running the point if necessary. He said the decision to play for Coach Floyd was an easy one.
"The fact that Coach Floyd has coached at the highest level. Coached some of the best players in the world. And that he was willing to offer me a scholarship, it was a no brainer for me. I like everybody, we are all good friends. Everybody gets along so I think we are going to have a good year," said Touchet.
Friday, the next UTEP freshman hoopster will be introduced: 6-foot-7 forward Terry Winn.

The Return to the Hook, Gloucester, VA
The 17th rode at the Battle of the Hook this past weekend in Gloucester, VA. The event was a great success, fun was had by all, and riding with the Colonial Williamsburg contingent of the Queen's Rangers on Saturday made our numbers double. This weekend included over 1,000 reenactors on both sides (Continental and British). There were boat landings, cavalry demonstrations and battlefield engagements, a night skirmish, the raiding and burning of a farm house as well as overall fun!

The Battle on Saturday |
The setting was Virginia 1781 as Lord Cornwallis marched his Army into Virginia that spring with Gunston Hall Plantation serving as the backdrop. The event offered two excellent battles, a tactical, plundering of the out buildings and cellar by the dragoons, and campfollowers marching out with the army and getting ambushed by the rebels!
A woman on the ration is shot and the ladies work together to take her with them to get away from the rebels. |
The women were
following the Army out and as we were leaving found ourselves in the middle of
the rebels and the men trying to protect us. We had to fall on the
ground, get up and run, then fall again. We were herded into the woods but just before one of the women went down. One of us would not leave
her lying there, so we so we dragged her off. Her shoes fell off so
we grabbed those too and all that she was carrying. Once in the woods we
were told to run through the gully - most of the women couldn't maneuver it
and we had to go on the road. We were open to anything at that point,
almost running behind the rebels main line. Another woman went down and
we didn't have time to drag her so we grabbed her basket, took off down
the road, and into the woods finally safe.

It's news that fans of the 80s class have been after, and now a movie executive has confirmed that a follow-up to Top Gun is officially in development – with Tom Cruise firmly in the cockpit.
Rumours about the sequel have been building in the past year, with continued affection for the 1986 film which was directed by Tony Scott.
Now, in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Paramount executive Adam Goodman has confirmed that Top Gun 2 is in pre-production.
When asked about making a new Mission Impossible film, he said: "We'll likely make a Top Gun sequel with Tom Cruise first.
"Jerry Bruckheimer would produce, with Tony Scott returning to direct. All parties are moving ahead. We've hired Peter Craig to write the script."
Peter Craig wrote the highly rated script for The Town – and has been working on a script for Bad Boys III – while the return of Bruckheimer was widely anticipated.
Top Gun also starred Kelly McGillis, Val Kilmer and Anthony Edwards – it's unclear as yet which of the original film's cast will return, though Kilmer has expressed interest in the past.
Watch the trailer for latest Tom Cruise film Rock of Ages above.

IBM Forges New Routes To Market With Power And Storage Systems Tuned For Big Data And Cloud Computing
JOHANNESBURG, Feb. 5, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- IBM (NYSE: IBM) today accelerated its strategy to make big data and cloud computing a reality for businesses of all sizes with new Power Systems and Storage Systems that provide deep insights into big data, simplify data storage in the cloud, and can reduce costs through consolidation.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130205/NY54327)(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20090416/IBMLOGO)
The announcement was made today in Johannesburg, South Africa, where IBM convened over 100 CEOs, CIOs, government officials, and academics at a leadership forum to chart a course for future business opportunities across the continent.
Starting at $5,947 (USD), IBM has created an affordable family of entry level and midrange Power Systems based on new POWER7+ processors. The new systems are optimized for IBM's industry-leading analytics software, and use underlying technologies from the groundbreaking Watson system including POWER processors and big data analytics.
In addition to IBM's longstanding relationship with Avnet and Arrow, today's news comes on the heels of IBM's recent agreement with Ingram Micro and TechData to resell IBM's entire portfolio of Power Systems, PureSystems, and Storage Systems, radically changing the market of IBM's POWER7+ technology by offering it to small and midsized businesses (SMB) and large enterprises. Many SMBs have struggled to adopt big data and private cloud solutions due to lack of in-house skills and expertise to design and maintain commodity hardware-based systems. IBM is addressing these issues with new Power Systems that don't require specialized skills and offer the latest advances in virtualization and automation to speed private and hybrid cloud creation. "Big data and cloud systems that were once only affordable to large enterprises are now available to the masses," said Rod Adkins, Senior Vice President, IBM Systems & Technology Group. "With these new systems, IBM is forging an aggressive expansion of its Power and Storage Systems business into SMB and growth markets." Firebaugh, California-based Westside Produce, a 700 person company, contracts with melon growers to harvest, market, and ship fresh melons throughout North America. The company turned to IBM's Power System to make it easier to forecast how many boxes of melons will come from multiple fields, sorted by size, variety and grade. "Perishability of produce is a key challenge in our industry, and having the right technology in place to deliver fresh produce on time is critical for the success of our growers and our company," said Justin Porter, Director of Technology, Westside Produce. "All of our mission critical systems run on IBM Power with little to no intervention required. I do spend an inordinate amount of time dealing with issues on less mission critical x86 problems." New Power Systems Tuned for Big Data and Cloud Previously available only on select enterprise IBM Power Systems, IBM is extending its POWER7+ technology to entry level and midrange systems to help clients quickly build and deploy infrastructure for private and hybrid clouds. POWER processors can be a better platform for big data and cloud than commodity x86 hardware because embedded memory and virtualization - key ingredients for analytics and cloud workloads – are built into the processor. These systems come optimized for IBM's industry-leading analytics software including Cognos and SPSS for business and predictive analytics. IBM is rolling out eight new Power Systems for SMBs and growth market companies. New entry level systems include the Power Express 710, 720, 730 and 740 family of products. Starting at $5,947 (USD), the 710 is competitively priced compared to commodity hardware from Oracle and HP. IBM also introduced two new PowerLinux Systems - the 7R1 and 7R2 – now optimized for IBM InfoSphere BigInsights and InfoSphere Streams big data analytics software. Clients can take advantage of an optional IBM Solution for WebSphere Mobile and Web Applications on PowerLinux to speed up application development for the iPhone, Android and BlackBerry. Two new Power Systems for midsized and large enterprises, the 750 and 760, are ideal consolidation platforms that centralize big data analytics and cloud workloads.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

On July 2nd, the "Atlantik-Brücke" celebrated its 60th anniversary. The transatlantic network is highly respected, chancellor Angela Merkel and Helmut Schmidt attended the event as speakers. The schedule also included a discussion panel about the future of economic cooperation, and a speech by the German foreign minister Guido Westerwelle.
Among the topics discussed by the panel was the future of the start-up and internet industry – a nod to the fact that the transatlantic relationship is no longer dominated by traditional economic and political topics alone. Westerwelle reminded the audience that many of today's G20 nations were developing countries not too long ago, and that they are already being overtaken by the "Next Eleven" – countries like Mexico, Pakistan, Nigeria, Egypt and Turkey, who are working hard to prepare for economic ascendency. Unless Germany keeps up the pace, Westerwelle argued, we will soon find ourselves surprised by other nations. But Germany alone cannot persist against new and rising markets. The only path leads through deeper European integration.
It's good to see that the start-up industry has cultivated transatlantic relations. For the past three years, I have traveled to Silicon Valley and San Francisco with other internet entrepreneurs. Europe and America are tightly linked, and our first glace is always directed across the ocean to the United States. But we are also aware that Brazil's online industries are growing and growing.
For the "Next Eleven" countries, new technologies are an engine of growth. Mobil telecommunications and mobile internet play a crucial role – not only because they are linked to successful business models, but because they drive societal development in the respective countries. This is as true for civil society (I count economic actors as a part of that realm) as it is for the political arena, which is challenged by new forms of participation and organization. Much has been written about the importance of Facebook during the recent revolution in one of the "Next Eleven" countries, Egypt.
Obviously, technology does not automatically deepen democracy. The Arab Spring was sparked by the self-immolation of a Tunisian grocer who couldn't afford the food he needed to feed his family. Motivations for uprisings seem to have changed little since the French Revolution. Images of the unrest spread via television, and Al Jazeera and Al Arabia fueled revolutions throughout the region.
The mobile use of social networks fulfills a vital function as well: Social networks aid the articulation of civil society. In Egypt, where I lived and studied in 2003, society was then dominated by a sense of mistrust: "Will my friend snitch on me if I say something critical about the government?" Those were the thoughts of everyone who considered making a public statement, even just among a group of neighbors. But online social networks have exposed the widespread nature of those sentiments. Dissidents no longer have to feel alone but socially connected. Online discussions served an organizational purpose as well. Today, Egyptians still use Facebook to debate the future of their country.
Alec Ross, Hillary Clinton's innovation adviser, has outlined how politics must change in a digital world: "Because of social media, we created a partnership with the Egyptian social media platform "Masrawy" which has lots of credibility on the street and allowed young people to ask direct questions to Hillary Clinton for 30 minutes. We did not make any requirements except that the questions come from Egyptian youth. We got questions from really tough bloggers and people who don't like the United States."
Our economic system is affected by sweeping changes as well. Twenty years ago this week, mobile phones were introduced in Germany. In two decades, we have moved from the Motorola 3200 to the iPhone – an indication of the speed of technological change, and of the ever-present danger for a country's innovation and economic power. If one of the "Next Eleven" countries produces tomorrow's Bill Gates, Germany could soon find itself on the losing end of technological change. Foreign minister Westerwelle thus argued that Europe's prosperity depends on its ability to anticipate quick changes.
But just as in the field of politics, traditional economic sectors display surprising amounts of inertia that make it difficult to change course and adapt to speedy innovation. Some still seem to adhere to a logic that was once expressed by Germany's emperor Wilhelm II with the following words: "I believe in the horse. The automobile will be a transient phenomenon." But even mighty companies like Yahoo or Microsoft can be overrun by quick digital progress. Growing comfortable is no longer an option, especially when we compare today's innovation cycles with the comparatively slow speed of the snail-mail age.
Alec Ross and Guido Westerwelle have highlighted the competition we face from markets whose existence is still unknown to us today. As Ross argues, "sub-Saharan Africa, South and Central Asia and other places that were historically more isolated, are now significantly less isolated in part because of connectivity and so people are now able to connect to markets and ideas in ways they were not able in the past."

December... could somebody please tell me why Singapore is putting up Christmas decorations at Halloween? Have I completely gone over the edge with these time zones that I have forgotten the date? Or am I caught in a Star Trek-esque time warp or something like that, where time goes faster than it's supposed to?
Dammit! This confuses me. And why do the little plastic stars hanging from the lampposts (did I spell that right?) say 'HITACHI' inside of them? Oh, we just happened to have some extra H's and I's and T's... What about little baby Jesus and those three kings (mmm... frankincense... myrrh...) and all that shit? Sure, I'm not Christian, but hey, everybody likes the gifts, right? By name only, I am part of the congregation of the Unitarian Universalist Society of Wellesley Hills, Massachusetts, 02482. Well, used to be, but it sounds impressive when I say 'I, Myke, am a member of...' Yeah. I really hope this doesn't fall under that wonderfully vague category of! 'Opposing the government of the Republic of Singapore.' Remember Michael Fay, everybody? OW!! He went to my high school!! Not when I was there, but anyway...
Desperation brings this paragraph in -- Andrew S. -- you used to sit next to me in Chem, then Mrs. Chin switched our seats -- what are you doing here? -- are you really... really? Oh, wow. Me too. So, wanna go somewhere sometime? Email me, why dontcha. I don't have your calculator. Say, did you know that the name Andrew comes from a Greek word meaning 'manly,' and 'brave,'? And that St. Andrew is the patron saint of Russia and Ireland? Yes, I'm stalking you and everything that looks like you.
Peace n love go out to... 'Cake Jones,' you go the Tanglin School. Yeah. I got an email from a guy named S. Donne Davis or something like that, owns that big-ass gay personal website in the UK. He said you live here now, and you were having yourself some problems. Email me, I listen to other peoples problems real good, and my grammar (or is it grammer?) sucks. Ok then...
READ NO FURTHER UNLESS YOU HAVE LOTSA TIME!! OTHERWISE, READ IT LATER!! OR EMAIL ME <mailto:email@example.com> , AND I CAN SEND YOU... SOMETHING ELSE, MAYBE, I DON'T KNOW!!
Onto other things. Anyone wanna hear my coming out story? I guess it's more of a... work in progress. Everybody loves a good coming out story, right? Well, mine isn't especially heart-breaking or anything. Pretty smooth. Here it is:
It was a Saturday night, after a Christmas party. The eve of Christmas eve. I was dribbling depression to my friend on the other line, Brad. Everybody at the party was making out, and I was depressed because I didn't have a boyfriend. Take note, this was like 2:00 in the morning or something and I was tired. He asked me why I was depressed, and I said something along the lines of 'No, I don't wanna say.' That went on for an hour or so, and then I finally let up, too tired to say anything else. That week, my 'friend' Christy (to all of her friends out there, she's Christina Frost Smith, she lives in Wellesley, MA) had been saying things to my then girlfriend Amelia (and I don't know why I dated her... I mean, she's really nice and cool, but-yeah, she's a girl) that I might be gay.
Christy is, to say the very, very least, a homophobe as far as guys go, but not to bi girls or lesbians. Anyway, she was spreading these rumors behind my back, and I knew about it. So I just told Brad, 'Y'know what Christy was saying about me? Those little rumors she was making up? Well, they're true.' Brad, being the accepting person he is (thanks Brad!) just kinda stood in shock for about two seconds, then was like 'Oh, cool. So, who do you like?' and it was just like nothing important had happened.
Brad, on my bidding, told my friend Brandy down in Louisiana visiting her billions of Cajun relatives, and then she called me up and took it really well. After that, it was all... I don't know whether to say uphill or downhill, because it was good and downhill usually means bad, but uphill means it was alot of work, and it was neither. Everybody I knew was like, (remember 'Clueless?') incredibly accepting. They just kinda took it like I'd said, 'Can I have a tissue?' or 'I gotta take a piss.'
I came out to a kid I liked at a school concert of some sort, saying I was gay and I liked him. He took it like I didn't say anything. It got to the point where I was announcing it to groups of people, who were just like 'Yeah, and...?' But people, just PLEASE, PLEASE don't get especially optimistic about this. If you know that your friends aren't accepting of the 'lifestyle,' if you wanna call it that, then don't come out to a group of people and announce it like that! I'm a naive little shit, don't follow me, dammit! I mean, shouting to large groups of people 'I'm gay!' isn't exactly something you'd find on a pamphlet for coming out.
Speaking of pamphlets for coming out, here's one based on 'my own meandering experience.' I will dispense this advice now. You've all heard that sunscreen song, right? It's so old now. Go out and listen to a parody of it... speaking of which, I have the lyrics to. Email me for em!! It goes along the lines of, 'Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth... oh, nevermind. You are neither powerful nor beautiful. You are fatter than you imagine.' Yeah, I'm desperate for emails. I'm at the point where I'm sending email to myself (HA! HA I'm so funny, right?) OK, the 'pamphlet.'
1. Don't come out to people who say the word 'fag' repetitively. Although, I may be wrong, y'know, how a bunch of supposedly good educators are saying kids say the word 'fag' in order to cover up their identity...
2. Come out to your closest person first. This might be a friend, relative... pets don't count, although I'll paraphrase a bumper sticker when I say 'THE MORE PEOPLE I MEET THE MORE I LIKE MY CAT.' haha
3. Don't come out to people who have a history of blackmail and/or meanness.
4. Do come out to people who can listen.
5. Do come out to people who are thoughtful.
6. Don't come out to conservatives.
7. Come out subtlety at first. For instance-draw two lines of a sheet of paper, one straight, one curvy. Point to the straight one and say, 'Let's just say I'm not that.'
8. Don't come out to people who don't give a flying fuck about you.
9. Expect the very, very worst.
10. To paraphrase Baz... something, I don't remember his last name. Ends with-man. But that's not important. To paraphrase Mr. Baz, be careful whose advice you take.
WHERE THE HELL DID THE WORD FAG COME FROM? Addressing this is the most important thing for me right about now. Nobody I know who says 'fag' knows where it comes from. So here is my own, personal, quaint little understanding of it -- Y'know how some people say, 'Fag' doesn't mean anything! It's just a bundle of sticks!? Well, yeah, sticks used to burn people of other races, preferences, etc. If you know the exact origin, please tell me, because right now I am going around making a complete and utter ass of myself.
On an entirely different note, I have a friend who thought he was bi for awhile, because instead of liking to cuddle women, he liked to be cuddled, be protected. And, thinking he would never find the girl of his dreams, he, grumbling, told me and two other people he was bi last June. And now, he stands by the aforementioned statement (god, I sound like a lawyer, don't I?).
Is it just my imagination, is he trying to cover his tracks in regret, or is he just speaking the truth? I don't know, if you know, tell me about it because I am baffled. I AM AN ADVICE GURU! I CAN ANSWER ALL QUESTIONS! I KNOW THE MEANING OF LIFE! EMAIL ME! Hmmm, what else to talk about... this entire article was written over a two-hour on and off period, thought you'd like to know why it's so choppy. Dammit, everything I write is choppy!!
Even after hour upon hour of editing. I felt really embarrassed about my last article because, yeah, it was good material, but I wrote it wrong and it sounded stupid. My English teacher is gonna flunk me cuz of my choppiness, too. Okay, I have nothing more to say, cept some ending thoughts... (I'm sure you've all heard these before)
Guys are like the most envied toy of the entire neighborhood; you want it bad, and then you get it, and you don't know what to do with it. Guys are like blenders; you know you want one, but you're not quite sure why... WAIT! WAIT! I have something else to say!! (Damn him!!) Lately, I've been thinking alot (I don't usually think) and about what homosexuality is, spurred on by this little essay we read in Western Civ. by Plato called The Symposium or some other stupid name like that (I just think all names are stupid, right? Yeah, just look at mine! anybody else find irony in that?) and there was this part of it that we read in which the famous Athenian comedy playwright Aristophanes (I'm not as cultured as I seem, don't worry about that, and no, you shouldn't know this) was talking about love.
He explained it like this: In the beginning, people were wholes. Two half people connected made for a whole person (duh). People made of two male halves were from the sun, people made of two female halves were from the moon, and people made of a male half and a female half were from the Earth, cuz it shares the characteristics of both the sun and the moon. Well, anyway, these people were really happy, and the gods (goddammit!) didn't think this was good, so they cut them apart. Well, anyway, the half-people were so torn (haha, I'm so funny) that they grasped onto each other and refused to let go.
Soon, however, these half-people began to multiply. It got harder and harder to find their perfect matches. Aristophanes (or rather, Plato putting words in Aristophanes' mouth) said that love was the want to be part of a whole again. And, I guess, in a way, he's right.
And this is more than three pages long on ClarisWorks (shut up! don't laugh at me just cuz I'm a Mac user! I didn't choose this comp, I swear!) so I'd better get going. I'm tired. Dammit, I'm always tired. So, I'm just going to tell you all my views on gay-dom next time (MWAHAHAHA! YOU'LL HAVE TO VISIT HERE AGAIN!) and I'll just leave you all (no, not from Texas, I refuse to say y'all...) with some... stuff...
Look! It's Elvis! Face life to the sun, and the shadows will fall behind. FREE YOUR MIND AND YOUR ASS WILL FOLLOW...
Well, I've been happy lately, thinking about good things to come, and I believe that something good has begun.-Cat Stevens
ONE IN TEN!! REMEMBER THAT!! For Those Of You In Boston... Or Near It
No, the correct term is 'long winded,' not 'afflicted with verbal diarrhea.' Anybody out there hear this on WBCN Boston (104.1??) TAKE SOME PEPTO-BISMAL FOR THAT VERBAL DIARRHEA AND SHUT THE FUCK UP! Listen to the gay program; 11:00 Monday nights, WFNX (101.7) Boston... I think, you'll hafta check their website <'http://www.wnfx.com'>. It's supposed to be real good.
Myke is a freshman pacifist/human rights activist/poet/philosopher/lyricist/non-conformist/advocate for the environment and gay most recently of Boston (okay, okay, Wellesley, MA, aka Yuppieville) but in reality from Allendale, New Jersey but right now from Singapore. Confusing, huh? He goes to the most hated expatriate school in all of Southeast Asia (The American School of Singapore... Singapore American School) and is infatuated with a kid in his Chem class. He listens to punk, punk-ska, techno, and folk. When he grows up, he's going to be a writer/poet/philosopher, but chances are, he'll never grow up.

The Ongoing Suppression of the Tibetan Language The Tibetan language has been laboring under much more significant threats than most others over the past few decades, as China continues to consolidate their control over the occupied country. It comes as a shock to many in the outside world to learn that even the act of learning Tibetan within Tibet itself [...] Tibetan – A language of China Tenzin Dhondub has helped the dreams of many young Tibetans come true since 1994. He started a language school in his home courtyard, where he taught English, Tibetan, Chinese and computer skills. With time, this school grew into the the Dung-Dkar School of Languages. The school has trained more than 20,000 [...] |

Tibetan is a language spoken by approximately 6 million people across the Tibetan Plateau. It belongs to the Tibeto-Burman group, which itself belongs to the Sino-Tibetan (or Sino-Thai) family. Spoken Tibetan includes dozens of regional dialects and sub-dialects which, in many cases, are not mutually intelligible. The classical written form is a major regional literary language, particularly in use in Buddhist literature. Tibetan is written with an Indic script, but this Freelang dictionary uses a romanized transcription.

Gambia Human Rights
Human Rights Concerns
Enforced disappearances, arbitrary detentions, attacks on freedom of expression and a climate of impunity are significant human rights concerns in The Gambia.
In October 2007, two Amnesty International researchers and a Gambian journalist were detained for nearly a week by the Gambian government while on an in-country research mission to investigate enforced disappearances and arbitrary detentions.
More than 70 civilians and members of the military, including prisoners of conscience, were unlawfully detained after an alleged coup attempt in late March 2006. Several journalists and editors were also unlawfully detained for many weeks. At least 12 detainees were reportedly tortured. Five people who allegedly escaped may have been extrajudicially executed.
At least nine Gambian and foreign journalists and editors were detained in 2006, and some were reportedly tortured. Harassment and threats against journalists, editors and media critical of the government has intensified dramatically since the National Media Commissions Act was amended in 2004, criminalizing certain press offenses.

I hope everyone saw today's Pets Passions page. Arson (former Top Dog and top cat wannabe) is back and better than ever as Arson the bird (trying to ride on current Top Dog Barney's coat feathers!).
On a more serious note, I wanted to point out that dogs get breast cancer at the same rate as humans but the VAST MAJORITY could be prevented by having a bitch spayed early. Fang's getting fixed Monday.

As you may have read in Today's cover story, it's breast cancer awareness month and getting your breasts checked is very important. Patients who catcht their breast cancer early have a 96 percent survival rate. You should check your breasts at least once a month. Also for any of you ladies looking for a great ob/gyn -- I love, love, love my gynecologist. This is the only doctor I've ever said that about. Her name is Dr.

The weather is awful blah and there seems to be lots of bad news lately. Maybe it's just the winter and my advancing age catching up with me. I recently started wearing colored socks (instead of all white). I don't know if that's a good move for me or not but it just seems like something that's supposed to happen after you pass thirty. Mine do have little dogs and bones embroidered on them if you can't see them. I seem to officially have crossed beyond any notion of sexys and steered straight toward eccentricity. Thoughts on this?

I'm going to write a story about breast cancer month. I'd like to share stories about people who have fought this disease. I know some of these stories are intense and personal but they might help raise awareness and remind women to get mammograms or breast exams. Please call Stephanie Ingersoll at 815-0824, write her at email@example.com or share your story here on this blog.

Order this awesome toy and raise money for the Jasper Animal Rescue Mission. Send an email to email@example.com Recommended donation is $20. These stuffed animals sing (meow and bark) and the nose lights up and it's a muppet. This would be an awesome gift for a kid or pet or a nerd like me.

I keep saying I'm going to start walking again as soon as the weather cools off. Here it is the end of September and it's still hot but if I don't get started soon, it will be winter and the days will be too short! Walking is great exercise -- free, easy and fat burning. It's even better when there's someone to chat with. So, why don't you come out to the Bluffton Today tomorrow (Tuesday, Sept. 27) and join me? We can stroll the Bluffton Parkway (new side) and talk about what's happening in Bluffton. I'll even try to round up some free Bluffton Today T-shirts.

I really admire Frank Lloyd Wright for wanting to create affordable housing that was also comfortable. It's really the American dream to own your own home, but a lot of people simply can't afford it!
I know where I live, it costs a lot of money to get any kind of decent house. I think a lot more people could afford homes if they cost 67% of the average price (like Frank Lloyd Wright's Usonian homes.) It would also keep the cost of home ownership down if the homes came with innovative heating and cooling solutions like the Usonian houses.

News Release 392
Department identifies 23 public water systems that fail to monitor drinking water quality
Volume 39-392 (For Immediate Release)
For more information: 573-751-1010
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., DEC. 2, 2011 – The Missouri Department of Natural Resources has identified 23 drinking water systems in Missouri that have chronically failed to complete drinking water testing required by the department to ensure a safe water supply.
The systems listed have at least three major monitoring violations in a 12-month period, with the most recent violations occurring in the third quarter of 2011. While failing to monitor does not necessarily mean the water is unsafe, routine testing by a facility is a crucial part of maintaining a safe water supply.
The department requires all public water systems to test for bacteria at least once a month to verify these systems are providing safe drinking water to the public. The vast majority of community and non-community public water systems in Missouri complies with all monitoring requirements and meets all drinking water standards. Chronic violators are the exception rather than the rule. This current list of 23 systems represents less than one percent of the approximately 2,800 public drinking water systems in Missouri.
Bacteriological testing can be the first step in identifying and correcting a problem. The next step is to investigate the cause of any bad samples and perform corrective action, such as disinfecting and flushing the system. When a public water system has a record of both failing to monitor and a history of exceeding contaminant levels, this may raise concerns about the unknown quality of the drinking water.
If a water sample tests positive for total coliform bacteria, further testing is then performed for fecal coliform or E. coli bacteria, which can directly cause gastrointestinal illness. Most samples that test positive for total coliform test negative for fecal coliform or E. coli. Unless specifically stated otherwise, the total coliform-positive samples listed on our website tested negative for fecal coliform or E. coli. When fecal coliform or E. coli is confirmed, the department requires a public water system to immediately notify its customers to boil their drinking water, or in the case of a non-community system, to provide an alternative source, such as bottled water, in addition to notifying the affected public.
To view more details on the violators listed, visit the department's website at dnr.mo.gov/env/wpp/chronic/index.html.
County -- Public Drinking Water System
• Barry -- Jenkins Kwik Stop.
• Benton -- Hidden Valley Mobile Home Park, Last Chance Restaurant and Lounge, Sun Valley Subdivision, TT Campground.
• Camden -- Nantucket Bay.
• Dallas -- Fraternal Order of Eagles 4010.

• St. Louis -- Whispering Oaks Health Care.
• Stone -- Cedar Haven Resort, Cross Roads Store.
• Taney -- East Fork Subdivision, GDM Investment Project, Savannah Place Third Addition.
• Webster -- Eagle Stop.
These systems' owners have been sent multiple violation notices in addition to certified letters informing them that chronic failure to monitor is unacceptable. Representatives of the Department of Natural Resources also routinely make on-site inspections and attempt to reach an agreement with the responsible parties to ensure sampling requirements will be met. If these parties continue to fail to comply with Missouri's drinking water law, the department pursues more stringent enforcement action through legal channels.

Edward Snowden (No. 20 on our 2013 Top 49 list), the NSA scandal whistleblower not only made the biggest discovery of 2013, but one of the biggest discoveries of the 21st century. While conspiracy theorists have hemmed and hawed for years about the government having its eye on us, Snowden's leaks gave us proof. Now the "Five Eyes" (U.S., Canada, New Zealand, England, Australia) have their tails between their legs trying to explain why they broke privacy laws. Snowden's discovery has begun an extremely important conversation about our privacy on the internet and how far we want our government to go for our safety.

First Public E85 Station Opens in Pennsylvania
On May 10, Worley & Obetz of Manheim, Pennsylvania, opened the first publicly accessible E85 station in the Northeast. The event included Pennsylvania government luminaries, representatives of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Pennsylvania Turnpike Authority staff, the Hourglass Foundation, the National Ethanol Vehicle Coalition, and a large crowd.
Governor Ed Rendell, Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection Secretary Kathleen McGinty, and Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture Secretary Dennis Wolff were on hand for the ribbon-cutting ceremony at the fueling station on Route 772 near Lititz. General Motors representative Brad Beauchamp was on site, along with a 2007 GM flexible fuel vehicle. Other flexible fuel vehicles were also on display.
The governor unveiled his "PennSecurity Fuels Initiative" while inaugurating the station. "Pennsylvania has made great strides that have helped our commonwealth emerge as a national leader in renewable energy production and promotion," he said.

BANGOR, Maine (AP) -- The police chief in Bangor, Maine, has ended any discussion over whether officers can bring a gun to a polling place: Chief Ron Gastia says officers are encouraged to do their civic duty by voting. And he says his officers are trained never to relinquish their firearms.
Gastia spoke Monday after a longtime Bangor election warden refused to let a uniformed Bangor police officer vote because he wouldn't hand over his gun at a polling place.
Clerk Patti Dubois said Monday that the election officer won't be working the polls Tuesday.
Officials said the clerk refused to let Officer James Dearing cast an early vote at the Bangor Civic Center on Friday unless he turned his gun over to another officer. Dearing refused and left without voting.

El Paso, TX — UTEP (1-5, 0-3 C-USA), idle last week, returns to action on Saturday at Rice (5-2, 3-0 C-USA). The Miners will be on the road for five of their remaining six regular season games. UTEP's lone home game during that span comes on Nov. 16 versus FIU. The Miners are playing three straight road games -- including facing Texas A&M in College Station on Nov. 2 and North Texas in Denton on Nov. 9 -- for the first time since September of 2011. UTEP is 4-3 in C-USA games (2-3 home/2-0 away) when coming off a bye week since joining the league in 2005. This includes wins over Houston in 2005 (44-41 in double OT), at Tulane in 2005 (45-21), Tulsa in 2009 (28-24), and at Tulane in 2011 (44-7), and losses to Houston in 2007 (34-31), Rice in 2008 (49-44) and UCF in 2012 (31-24). The Miners have lost their last seven games in the city of Houston dating back to a 38-31 triumph at Rice on Oct. 29, 2005. This includes four losses to Houston and three losses to Rice.
The Series
The Owls have won six of the last seven games between the Texas rivals to take a 10-6 lead in the series ledger. Rice's last six wins over the Miners have come by a total of 33 points (5.5 avg.); the closest outcome during that span was nine points in last year's 33-24 decision in the Sun Bowl. Rice Coach David Bailiff is 5-1 against the Miners. The Owls are 6-2 versus the Miners in Houston with victories in the last three meetings at Rice Stadium. The last four games in Houston have all been decided by eight points or fewer, with the Miners prevailing 38-31 in 2005 and Rice upending the Miners in 2007 (56-48), 2009 (30-29) and 2011 (41-37). Overall eight of the last nine games between UTEP and Rice, and nine of the last 11, have been determined by eight points or less. UTEP has averaged 36.9 points and Rice has averaged 37.6 in eight meetings between the schools as Conference USA members. In the four games at Houston during that span, the averages jump to 38.0 ppg (UTEP) and 39.5 ppg (Rice).
The Last Meeting
Charles Ross ran for 154 yards and two touchdowns and Rice became bowl-eligible with a 33-24 win over UTEP on Nov. 24, 2012 in the Sun Bowl. Ross scored on a nine-yard run to give Rice a 26-21 lead in the fourth quarter and after UTEP answered with a field goal, Jeremy Eddington returned a kickoff 97 yards for a touchdown. Eddington also ran for another score for the Owls, who won their fourth in a row to get to 6-6. Taylor McHargue completed 21-of-30 passes for 207 yards. Nick Lamaison, one of 17 seniors who played their last game for UTEP, threw for 249 yards with a pair of touchdown passes. Two UTEP receivers went over 100 yards as Jordan Leslie had three catches for 168 yards, and Michael Edwards had five receptions for 121 yards. Nathan Jeffery led the Miners with 95 yards rushing. The Miners led 21-17 late in the third quarter before Rice closed the game by outscoring UTEP 16-3. It was the final game for the Miners' Mike Price, who retired after 31 years as a college head coach.
UTEP players from the Greater Houston area are RB Josh Bell (Sugar Land/Kempner HS), OL Kyle Brown (Conroe/Conroe HS), RB LaQuintus Dowell (Humble/Humble HS), DL Dewan Edmonson (Manvel/Manvel HS), TE Katrae Ford (Houston/Westfield HS), RB Autrey Golden (Willis/Willis HS), OL Christian Harper (Galena Park/North Shore HS), DB Demarcus Kizzie (Willis/Willis HS), WR Jordan Leslie (Houston/Tomball HS), DL Brian Madunezim (Houston/Nimitz HS) and TE Kevin Perry (Houston/Westbury Christian HS).
UTEP OL Wayne Frazier and Rice DL Dylan Klare attended Refugio High School. UTEP QB Blaire Sullivan and Rice LB Nick Elder went to Central Catholic High School in San Antonio. UTEP RB Josh Bell and Rice DB Julius White are products of Kemper High School in Sugar Land. UTEP DL Cooper Brock and Rice RB Brandon Hamilton graduated from Copperas Cove High School. UTEP OL John De La Rosa and Rice WR Derek Brown attended Bay City High School. UTEP LB Cooper Foster and Rice QB Taylor McHargue graduated from Vista Ridge High School in Cedar Park. UTEP WR Jordan Leslie and Rice OL Connor Patterson hail from Tomball High School. UTEP DB Traun Roberson and Rice LB Alex Lyons attended DeSoto High School. UTEP's Assistant AD for Football Operations, Nate Poss, is a graduate of Rice University and played for the Owls from 1973-76. Rice safeties coach Larry Hoefer had two separate stints as an assistant coach at UTEP, including serving as defensive coordinator during the WAC championship 2000 season.
About Rice
Rice entered the week on a four-game winning streak as the Owls racked up a season-high 409 yards on the ground in a 45-19 win over NM State last Saturday at Aggie Memorial Stadium. In their final non-conference game of the season, the Owls jumped out to an early lead and never looked back to complete the sweep of a three-game road swing. Charles Ross racked up a career-high 167 yards and a score on 26 carries, good for 6.4 yards per tote. Taylor McHargue added 90 yards and three touchdowns on the ground to accompany his 89 passing yards on 8-of-14 attempts. Rice ranks 16th nationally and first in Conference USA in rushing offense (229.9 per game). Leading the Owls' offense is McHargue who rates eighth in C-USA in total offense (200.0 per game). Ross averages 109 rushing yards per contest and, like McHargue, has five rushing TDs on the year. Rice is the C-USA leader in red zone offense, converting 23-of-24 opportunities into scores (19 TDs/four field goals). The Owls have blocked three kicks this season to rank among the national leaders.
