Controversial Poet Amiri Baraka is Dead
December 10, 2013
Baraka, seventy-nine, born Everett LeRoi Jones, was New Jersey's Poet Laureate from 2002-2003. He co-founded the Black Arts Movement of the 1960s, and his poetry garnered extreme praise and condemnation. He was a poet, writer, and teacher, whose work, according to The New York Times, "was widely anthologized." He was often heard on the lecture circuit, and he was also famous as "a political firebrand." Baraka's tenure as Poet Laureate included the controversial public reading of his seemingly anti-Semitic poem "Somebody Blew Up America?" written in response to the September 11 attacks.
Baraka was the prolific author of several books of poetry, drama, fiction, and nonfiction. Among his best-known works are the poetry collections The Dead Lecturer and Transbluesency: The Selected Poetry of Amiri Baraka/LeRoi Jones, 1961-1995, and the acclaimed but controversial play Dutchman, which premiered in 1964 and received an Obie Award the same year.
Baraka also won a PEN/Faulkner Award, a Rockefeller Foundation Award for Drama, and the Langston Hughes Award from City College of New York. He was awarded fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation and the National Endowment for the Arts.

OAKLAND – When Chris Nelson hurt his hamstring Aug. 28, he admitted he thought "oh no," except he used a word more colorful than no. And when the Angels third baseman got the results of the MRI a few days later, he thought the same thing.
But on Tuesday, just under three weeks after he was hurt, Nelson was activated, defying the odds.
"The rehab went great," Nelson said. "The training staff did a great job getting me back to where I need to get."
Nelson won't be able to start for a few more days, because he's not where he needs to be in terms of running, but he can play defense now.
"It feels like I'm part of the team now," Nelson said. "Before, I was just traveling. I'm real excited about it."
Nelson is happy to be back because the Angels have no answer right now at third base for next season, so the final two months of the season were essentially an audition for the job. He got the first crack, but he might not get the last, even being healthy again.
Andrew Romine has been playing third for more than a week. He has played excellent defense, and he has hit .304 since returning to the majors in August.
Luis Jimenez, who was recalled after Nelson got hurt, is probably done for the season. Jimenez hurt both his shoulders and both thumbs on Sept. 7. All but his right shoulder are fine now, but the shoulder has progressed too slowly for him to throw.
"He's a ways away," Manager Mike Scioscia said. "It's going to take a while before his throwing program. Right now he's on hold."
A day after Mike Trout's jaw-dropping homer to center field at the Coliseum, there was still much discussion around the ballpark about the estimated distance.
ESPN's Home Run Tracker calculated the distance at 452 feet, which didn't sit well with at least one person who saw it.
"That's crazy," Scioscia said. "I don't know what the criteria there is for measuring, but there is no way that ball is anything short of 500 feet. No way."
Hit Tracker, which does the calculations for ESPN, uses measurements of the ball's speed off the bat and estimated trajectory when it hits an object to calculate where the ball would have landed if it had dropped to field level.
Interestingly, by those calculations, Trout's homer wasn't even the Angels' longest homer of the week. Mark Trumbo's homer in Toronto on Sept. 11 was estimated at 454 feet.

Memories of Frances
R.I.P. Russell Hoban
More than Flat Stanley, more than Babar, more than Curious George, it was a quiet little school-aged badger, name of Frances, who I considered a friend when I was a small child. She was the invention of Russell Hoban, the Pennsylvania-born son of Ukrainian Jewish immigrants (his father worked for a time at the Jewish Daily Forward), who was an illustrator and a writer of books for both children and adults. Science fiction fans will know him for the apocalyptic Riddley Walker, of which I knew nothing until yesterday, when news broke of his death at the age of 86 in London, where he lived for the past 42 years.
For me, Russell Hoban's genius was Frances in all her captivating predicaments. They weren't zany or far-fetched. Her life was familiar. She stalled at bedtime. She subsisted on bread and jam. She sang self-pityingly to herself. She had a little sister, Gloria (so hilariously odd, my 5-year-old self thought; who named their child Gloria?). Drawn first by Garth Williams and then by Hoban's wife, Lillian, Frances and her world didn't explode in color on the page, as do the worlds of so many other favorite childhood characters. The palette of Frances' life was more modest, certainly, but it was hardly empty. I identified with this badger, with her soft-spokenness and pickiness, though I didn't know what a badger was back then. I had trouble sleeping, I had a younger sister, and while I didn't care for jam, I loved toast—white bread smeared with cream cheese. Nothing else. For years it's what I ate for breakfast and dinner and it's an honest, happy wonder these bones of mine ever grew.

Debating the Death Penalty
Should America Have Capital Punishment? The Experts on Both Sides Make Their Best Case
(If any tax is payable it will be calculated and shown at checkout.)
Preview (read now) Add to my own site Give this ebook to a friend Add to my wishlist Author's page Publisher's page
moreWhen news breaks that a convicted murderer, released from prison, has killed again, or that an innocent person has escaped the death chamber in light of new DNA evidence, arguments about capital punishment inevitably heat up. Few controversies continue to stir as much emotion as this one, and public confusion is often the result. This volume brings together seven experts--judges, lawyers, prosecutors, and philosophers--to debate the death penalty in a spirit of open inquiry and civil discussion. Here, as the contributors present their reasons for or against capital punishment, the multiple facets of the issue are revealed in clear and thought-provoking detail. Is the death penalty a viable deterrent to future crimes? Does the imposition of lesser penalties, such as life imprisonment, truly serve justice in cases of the worst offences? Does the legal system discriminate against poor or minority defendants? Is the possibility of executing innocent persons sufficient grounds for abolition? In confronting such questions and making their arguments, the contributors marshal an impressive array of evidence, both statistical and from their own experiences working on death penalty cases. The book also includes the text of Governor George Ryan's March 2002 speech in which he explained why he had commuted the sentences of all prisoners on Illinois's death row. By representing the viewpoints of experts who face the vexing questions about capital punishment on a daily basis, Debating the Death Penalty makes a vital contribution to a more nuanced understanding of the moral and legal problems underlying this controversy. less

Apple officially announced the iPad mini at its special media event yesterday and one of the things that stands out on the iPad mini is the thinness of the bezel surrounding the screen. if you compare the new iPad with the iPad mini, you can see in portrait mode that the bezel on the left and right hand side is much slimmer on the iPad mini.
More →
Another iPhone 5 rumor has surfaced overnight and again it is emanating from a Chinese site that claims to have some engineering diagrams of the iPhone 5.
The images resemble the current iPhone 4 with the exception of the screen. The screen appears larger and takes up most of the front face with an extremely slim bezel. The images do resemble a previous leak of the front panel which many claimed were fake.
We just got what appears to be mold engineering drawings for iPhone 5. These would be used by case designers to create plastic, TPU, aluminum, silicone and leather cases. A while back we hear rumors that iPhone 5 would have a curved back but these images show iPhone 5 with the same form factor as iPhone 4 but with an edge to edge screen.
It is certainly not unusual for case manufacturers to receive information in advance of a new Apple product launch. We have recently seen iPad 2 information leaked in a similar way and turn out to be accurate.
We don't know if this is real at this stage but the idea of a larger screen in a similar sized form factor is very appealing. There are a few more images after the break; take a look, then let us know what you think? Would you like a larger screen without a dramatic increase in the size of the device?
[iDeals China via MacRumors]
A supposed image of an iPhone 5 part has appeared on Chinese reseller's website. The image in question looks like the digitizer panel for the iPhone 5. The design is similar to the one used on the current iPhone 4 however it appears to have a larger screen. These assumptions however are not scientific as no measurements have been released with the image.
Turns out that leaked black bezel that made the internet rounds prior to the iPhone 3GS' rounds was... actually for a Creative Zii Egg. Says CNET Asia provides the picture, and MacRumors the short version:
The Zii Egg is a multi-touch iPod touch-like device that runs Google's Android operating system. The device, though, bears a strong resemblance to the leaked bezel images, suggesting that it had simply been mislabeled all along.

ChinaOnTrade.com, which sells iPhone parts reportedly directly from the factory, has thrown up some images and ordering options for 3rd generation iPhone bevels and screens.
If they're to be believed, the iPhone loses its silvery-chrome outer ring for a black band (as previously rumored?) that seems to indicate Apple will be moving things around a tad -- functionally as well as cosmetically?
Bad news for OLED hopefuls, as Gizmodo says the purported screen is still LCD, though iLounge points out it's price is double that of the 3G screen ($73 vs. $35). Hmm...

Animal Life: Calming Your Dog With Classical Music
By Ana Zorrilla
Animal professionals know that a little Bach goes a long way in easing a pet's anxiety. Studies show that music can have a calming effect on our four legged friends.
Researchers at Queens University in Ireland found that classical music made dogs rest more and stand up less. On the opposite end of the spectrum, heavy metal caused agitation and increased barking. Pop music and talk radio had no effect at all. Maybe our pets know something we don't!
As for other species in the animal kingdom, harp music has been found to calm not only cats and dogs, but cows, and even gorillas!
So next time your dog gets wound up, try a little Mozart.
What's your pet's favorite music? Tweet @WWNO with the hashtag #animallife to share your thoughts.

Some deliveries had to be postponed, the source said, but production has now returned to normal and October deliveries should be unaffected.
The source confirmed the nameplate capacity of the Szazhalombatta plant as 16,000 tonnes/year.

While sitting in the House chamber tonight, U.S. Rep. John Culberson, R-Houston, used Twitter, an Internet-driven messaging system, to send messages about the presidents' speech while the president delivered it.
Here are Culberson's "tweets" in order:
– This is always an awe inspiring experience no matter who is President – we celebrate our Republic and our great institutions tonight
– A surplus is a TAX SURPLUS and should be refunded to those who paid it
– I can't see your replies so excuse me for not answering here directly
– How will he assure us that banks will make loans? Sounds like nationalization – very bad news
– Let's do whatever proves necessary? Again he expresses no governing or guiding principles
– I am glad to hear his commitment to investment in scientific and medical research and to cure cancer – nanotechnolgy is the key
– Hold onto your wallet America
– We are at war – seems to me honoring our troops should come on page one rather than the end of the speech
(Editor's note: The remark was not at the end).
– This is a great privilege to be here and I will try hard to find ways to work together while preserving my core principles
– Americans are not quitters – Amen – what a great story – as well as the story of the selfless banker – very encouraging and inspiring
Afterward, we watched on TV as Culberson chatted briefly with President Obama and collected his autograph.
Moments later CNN mentioned that a congressmen (unnamed) had sent the Twitter message about the placement in the speech of Obama's paying of respect to the military.

Survey: One in Four on Wall Street Open to Insider Trading
Follow @jbrezlowJuly 16, 2013, 1:39 pm ET
If public confidence in Wall Street remains battered from the financial crisis, a new survey of ethics in the financial services industry is unlikely to help.
The survey, conducted by the law firm Labaton Sucharow, gauged the attitudes of 250 traders, portfolio managers, investment bankers, hedge fund professionals, financial analysts, investment advisers, asset managers and stock brokers across dozens of firms.
The results may not be scientific, but they provide a troubling glimpse of what many within the industry regard as commonplace misconduct.
According to the survey, 23 percent of industry insiders indicated "that they had observed or had firsthand knowledge of wrongdoing in the workplace." Perhaps more concerning, 24 percent of respondents said they "likely would engage in insider trading to make $10 million if they could get away with it."
The findings suggest many employees may feel compelled to misbehave. Nearly 30 percent of respondents believed they needed to engage in unethical or illegal activity in order to be successful. More than one-in-four believed compensation plans incentivized employees to either compromise ethical standards or violate the law. Meanwhile, close to 30 percent did not believe the industry puts the interests of clients first.
The trouble was most pronounced among the industry's youngest employees. Among respondents with 10 years or less experience, 38 percent said they would engage in insider trading if they wouldn't get arrested. Within that same group, 36 percent believed misconduct may be necessary to get ahead.
"Many of the young professionals who will one day assume control of the trillions of dollars that the industry manages have lost their moral compass, accepted corporate wrongdoing as a necessary evil and fear reporting misconduct," the study warns. "This is a ticking economic time bomb that responsible organizations must immediately defuse."
Many saw the trouble beginning in the corner office. Seventeen percent of respondents felt their leaders would look the other way if they suspected a top employee of insider trading. Another 15 percent doubted leadership would report it.
In terms of rank and file employees reporting misconduct, the study painted a mixed picture. In 2011, the Securities and Exchange Commission established a $500 million program that awards as much as 30 percent of any penalty collected in a whistle-blower suit to the whistleblower. While 89 percent of financial services professionals indicated a willingness to report wrongdoing, 40 percent were unaware of the SEC initiative.

Yes there is. Do not release too early and plan server hardware better. Also would help if people get trheir understanding of quality back. Everyone these days seem to be perfectly okay tp unfinished products, not only talking about games.

We love beer. That's why we're devoting an entire year to discovering (and drinking) cold ones from near and far. Know of a beer worth shouting out? Send us a note at email@example.com.
Now here is a divisive beer if ever there was one. You'll see few beers get as loud a blasting as this one often gets on review sites, and yet the folks at Samuel Adams have continued to brew it for well over a decade. If people hate it that much, why keep brewing it? Because there is an equally large (albeit much quieter) segment of the beer drinking public that love it. The base wheat beer is pretty standard stuff—grassy, herbal, and easy drinking. It's that big cherry flavor that you'll either love or hate. Plenty of sweet cherry flavoring presents itself in each sip, almost reminding you of a Ludens cough drop, with a touch of honey to add to the sweetness. Some mix this beer with a sweet stout for a dessert-like beer. Others find it refreshing on a hot summer day. Either way, if you love the taste of cherries, give this a try at Bar-ly Chinatown.

There's no reason why a recipe for Christmas Cake shouldn't be rebranded as any other kind of celebratory cake – I've just made a delicious birthday cake (for my mother-in-law's 70th) using a slightly modified version of a Christmas cake recipe from Good Housekeeping.
250g (or 9oz) of raisins
250g (or 9oz) of sultanas
100g (3.5oz) of cranberries or blueberries (I used blueberries, because thats what I had)
200g (7oz) of glace cherries, halved
200ml (7floz) of vanilla vodka
100g (3.5oz) of almonds
50g (2oz) ground almonds
200g(7oz) butter
200g (7oz) of dark muscovado sugar
4 eggs
100g (3.5oz) gluten free flour
I couldn't find any vanilla vodka out here in the rurals, so I used Absolut vodka and added 2tbsps of vanilla extract.
Soak all the fruit in the vanilla and vodka overnight – or for at least 3 hours, if you can't wait.
Grease and line an 8″ (20.5cm) round tin, and preheat the oven to 150C.
Beat the butter and sugar together until light and creamy.
Gradually add in the beaten eggs, adding a little flour each time if the mixture begins to curdle.
Add the nuts and any remaining flour.
Add the soaked fruit and any remaining vodka and mix well.
Spoon the mixture into the tin, and level the surface.
Bake the cake for 3.5 hours – if it begins to look a little dark on top towards the end of the cooking time, cover the top with foil or baking parchment.
Let the cake cool in its tin before removing it.
Wrap it in a double layer of foil to store it until ready to decorate.
To decorate the cake
Assuming that you are going to decorate this in a traditional style, you will need apricot jam, marzipan, icing sugar and fondant icing. You can (and I did) sprinkle another tablespoon […]

|Course Information| |Lecture Schedule and links to PDF Files| |Labs, Fieldtrip & Assignments| |Brian's website|
Welcome to the Biology 335 (Limnology) website. The main goal of this site is to give information on this course, links to PDF files of the lectures, PDFs of the labs, as well as PDFs of some essential papers. Please use the userid and password given to you in class to access the PDF files.
Professor: Brian F. Cumming
Professor, Biology/School of Environmental Studies; Director School of Environmental Studies; Co-director, Paleoecological Environmental Assessment and Research Lab (PEARL).
Offices: Room 3134A Bioscience Complex (normally), Room 4307B (PEARL, office).
Contact Information: 533-6153 (phone); e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com

Limnology is a large subject that considers geological, physical and chemical aspects of inland waters, as well as their biology and development. Obviously, in a half course we cannot attempt to consider all facets of limnology in depth. We attempt to present an overview, emphasizing fundamental interactions and processes. The objectives of the course are to provide you with a basic understanding of the physical, chemical, and biological processes in lakes, as well as an appreciation of the impact of human activities on these waterbodies.
Course material will be presented by three approaches ‑ in formal lectures, laboratories, and a compulsory one-day (either Saturday, September 27 or Sunday, September 28; the exact day will be determined by the end of the first week of class) field trip to the Queen's University Biology Station (QUBS) on Lake Opinicon. There is overlap between these approaches, but they are not redundant and require integration.
There is a strong practical component to this course beginning with the field trip when you will receive a crash course in limnological surveys. You will receive an introduction to many facets of limnological methodology including chemical and biological sampling techniques, and plankton identification. In only a few of these aspects will you receive any further practice or amplification in later laboratory periods. From the data you collect on the field trip and additional information you will be given, you will be expected to answer questions on the exams. Your laboratory pass (available at the Campus Book Store) includes the cost of the field trip. This cost will cover the cost of transportation to and from the Biology Field Station, user fees, and lunch. Please bring this pass to your first lab.
If you have any questions or concerns about the course, please feel free to contact me or your DSC (to be selected by your class). It is best to try to talk to me immediately following the lectures. However, if this is not possible, my e-mail is email@example.com, and my office (Rm. 3134a, ENSC Office, or 4307b) in the Biosciences Complex (the phone number for both offices is 533-6153).
Lectures: Monday (3:30-4:20), Wednesday (2:30-3:20) and Thursday (4:30-5:20), Ellis Hall, Rm. 226.
Labs: Every other week (total 5 labs) + one-day compulsory fieldtrip (Sept. 27 or Sept. 28) [Three Sections: Wednesday AM, 8:30-11:30; Friday AM, 8:30-11:30; Friday PM, 2:30-5:30].
Please show upto your lab time in the first week of classes and bring your lab pass-- your demonstrators will go over important organizational and safety information.
Lab times: All labs are held in Rm. 3320 of the Bioscience Complex.
Fieldtrip: In this course we have a compulsary one-day fieldtrip to the Queen's University Biology Station (QUBS) (Sept. 27). We will leave at 7:30 sharp, and will return by approximately 6 pm the same day.
Required Textbook: Wetzel, R. G. 2001. Limnology: Lake and River Ecosystems (3nd edition), Academic Press (available at the Campus Book Store).
Marking Scheme:
A) Assignment 1: Lake Models (Lab 1) - 10%;
B) Midterm exam - 20% - covers material upto the end of the Physical and Chemical Limnology section of this course
C) Assignment 2: Paleoecology (Lab 4) - 15%;
D) Lab exam - 15%;
E) Final exam - 40% - held during the normal exam period. The focus of the final exam will be on material covered in the latter part of the course. Examination questions may also include material covered in labs and the field day.
Generally, I will try to get the PDF files up onto the website 24 to 48 hrs prior to the lecture.
PLEASE NOTE: These notes represent most of the visuals shown in the lectures. They do not represent all of the information you will require, as much more is discussed in the lectures than appears on these visuals. PLEASE take notes in class, it is an important skill you have to develop in university.

*note: assignments are due in your regularly scheduled lab slot.
If you would not be forgotten,
as soon as you are dead and rotten,
either write things worth reading,
or do things worth the writing.
Benjamin Franklin, Poor Richard's Almanac (1738)
One of the skills you are expected to master during your university education is to communicate clearly and logically the knowledge that you have gained. Therefore, two written assignments are part of this course. As 25% of your final mark will be dependent on them, you should spend considerable time in preparing concise, clear and correct reports. These reports should be written as papers. The format of the papers will be detailed in your lab. Reports are due by the beginning of your next laboratory (i.e. you have two weeks to complete them). Marks will be reduced by 5% for each day a report is late (weekends will count as a single day). We will not be able to accept the excuse of a disk or a hard-drive crashing (make back-up copies!!).
Labs are held every other week, starting in the second week. PDF files of the labs, and the compulsory field day at the Queen's University Biological Station are found below. Please come prepared for the labs (i.e., Please read and understand the PDF for the lab). Attendance at the labs is compulsory. If you miss a lab without a valid excuse, your assignment will not be marked.

Academic integrity is constituted by the five core fundamental values of honesty, trust, fairness, respect and responsibility. These values are central to the building, nurturing and sustaining of an academic community in which all members of the community will thrive. Adherence to the values expressed through academic integrity forms a foundation for the "freedom of inquiry and exchange of ideas" essential to the intellectual life of the University.
Students are responsible for familiarizing themselves with the regulations concerning academic integrity and for ensuring that their assignments conform to the principles of academic integrity. Information on academic integrity is available in the Arts and Science Calendar (see Academic Regulation 1). Departures from academic integrity include plagiarism, use of unauthorized materials, facilitation, forgery and falsification, and are antithetical to the development of an academic community at Queen's. Given the seriousness of these matters, actions which contravene the regulation on academic integrity carry sanctions that can range from a warning or the loss of grades on an assignment to the failure of a course to a requirement to withdraw from the university.

The Ten Basic Principles of Good Parenting
Dr. Steinberg found that the basic principles for effective parenting are simple and universal, and apply to all parents and children regardless of background. He explains each principle and shows how to put it into action, using anecdotes and examples: from "What You Do Matters" (parents make an enormous difference; children are not simply the product of their genes) to "Establish Rules and Limits" (how to provide structure in your child's life, and how to handle conflicts over rules) and "Help Foster Your Child's Independence" (help your child think through decisions instead of making them for him or her). Concise and authoritative, written with warmth and compassion, The Ten Basic Principles of Good Parenting is an intelligent guide to raising a happy, healthy child and to becoming a happier, more confident parent in the process.

American League Preview from The Sports Network
Thursday, May 8th (All times Eastern)
Baltimore Orioles (17-14) at Tampa Bay Rays (15-19), 7:10 p.m.
Probable Starting Pitchers: Baltimore - Ubaldo Jimenez (1-4, 5.19) Tampa Bay - David Price (3-2, 4.44)
(SportsNetwork.com) - Long-time staff ace David Price will try to avoid a home series sweep for the Tampa Bay Rays on Thursday night, when the Baltimore Orioles visit Tropicana Field for the finale of a three-game set.
The former Vanderbilt University star is 7-2 in 16 career starts against the Orioles while compiling a solid 2.70 earned run average.
In the last eight of those 16 games, he's 3-0 with an even better 2.29 ERA, and in his last four starts against Baltimore at the Trop, Price is 1-0 with a stingy 1.37 ERA.
He went the nine-inning route in his most recent home start on April 22 and scored a 7-3 win against Minnesota, but was subsequently ripped for nine hits in six-plus innings of a 9-2 road loss to the Chicago White Sox five days later. In his most recent start, on Friday at Yankee Stadium, he allowed two runs in seven innings of a game the Rays ultimately won, 10-5, in 14 innings.
Price is opposed by Baltimore righty Ubaldo Jimenez, who was winless in his first five starts of 2014 before breaking through for a victory in his last outing on Friday.
In that game, at Minnesota, he struck out 10 batters and gave up just three hits in 7 1/3 innings while scoring a 3-0 triumph.
"He's such an engaging likable young man, but don't ever underestimate the drive and the want that he has," Orioles manager Buck Showalter said.
He's 3-1 in four starts with a 2.73 ERA against the Rays, and, most recently, beat them, 5-0, after allowing four hits and striking out seven in eight innings last season. In his lone career start at Tropicana Field in 2012, however, he allowed five runs in 5 2/3 innings of a 6-0 loss.
On Wednesday, Adam Jones homered twice and the Orioles took the middle game, 4-3.
Jones got things started for the O's with a pair of solo home runs, and Jonathan Schoop provided the eventual game-winner with a two-run shot.
Bud Norris yielded just two runs on three hits over 5 2/3 frames for Baltimore.
David DeJesus homered for Tampa Bay.
The Orioles lost 13 of 19 against the Rays a season ago, going 3-7 on the road, but have won all four meetings this season.

Americans join hands to protect beaches from Big Oil
While the the big NGOs appear to be asleep at the wheel, thousands of Americans will gather on June 26 to make a bold statement to Big Oil execs: 'Stay off our beaches.'
Sun, Jun 06, 2010 at 11:29 PM
Photo: Hands across the Sand
Obama is "furious" at them, James Cameron calls them "morons" and hundreds of thousands of Americans are now rallying against the BP executives who made the worst oil spill in U.S. history possible. But amidst the angry din of anti-BP protests, a quiet, thoughtful movement is emerging that sees the Gulf oil spill in a broader context.
Despite its innocuous simplicity, Hands Across the Sand, may turn out to be the most potent environmental movement in the U.S. — and Lord knows we need one. As Roland Martin of CNN so poignantly expressed it, the big environmental nonprofits have been asleep at the wheel:
The Left's organizations need to decide what matters: their principles or their politics ... their convictions or chicken dinners in the White House.
Like deers in the headlights, most progressive NGOs have failed to react decisively to a freight train of political opportunity for the environmental movement. Their failure may be due in part to a cautious respect of the people of the Gulf region.
I agree, it is tacky to use a tragedy to make a point, especially when so many lives will be affected for decades to come, but in this case their cautious respect is upstaging a profound duty to the American people — to point out why this tragedy occurred in the first place.
Yes, BP has created a disaster of monumental proportions. And yes, government officials charged with regulating them have failed over and over again to do so. But the real problem here is actually much greater …
We are running out of oil.
I want to point out that, contrary to popular opinion, I am not a Peak Oil theorist. I believe there is plenty more oil laying deep in the hidden recesses of the Earth's crust. The problem is getting it.
What no one is asking is this — why was BP drilling through 12,000 feet of rock in 5,000 of water ... because it was cost-effective?
Clearly not, otherwise BP would not have skimped on all the expensive safeguards needed to operate safely at those depths. The truth is that getting deep oil, is very expensive and we may in fact be getting to a point of diminishing returns — when the risk and expense of extracting fossil fuels may no longer be justifiable, even by the soulless standards of a corporation like BP.
Some say we have 40 more years of easily extractible oil. Others say it is less than 20. In any case, the BP disaster has pointed out a sobering truth. With diminishing supplies of crude, oil extraction in the 21st century has become a dangerous enterprise.
Putting aside the catastrophic climatological impacts of actually consuming 40 more years of oil, the now inevitable collapse of one of the world's largest fisheries and the destruction of an entire tourism industry in the Gulf makes it clear that offshore oil drilling is too risky to continue. The Deepwater Horizon was only one of hundreds of oil spills last year. Imagine if one or two more had gone the way of Deepwater.
We need to build up the alternatives now, before it is too late. So why aren't all the nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) that are supposed to be advocating for clean energy alternatives jumping up and down, yelling for a stronger clean energy bill? Well mainly, I think, it's just hard to say anything right now without sounding opportunistic. No one likes having mud (especially oily mud) rubbed in his face.
That's why I love the Hands Across the Sand concept so much. It says it, without saying it. On June 26, the poetic image of thousands of Americans holding hands will create a protective "barrier" around our beloved oceans. Like an embrace, it speaks to the heart, not just the mind.
It says simply that our environment is too valuable to destroy in the pursuit of a few years of "cheap" oil. And until we can be assured that another disaster like the Gulf oil spill will never happen again, we must put a moratorium on offshore drilling.

text: Are you interested in some literary conversation or just like to talk about the books you enjoy? This month we will be discussing "A Mane Called Ove" by Fredrick Backman. A curmudgeon hides a terrible personal loss beneath a cranky and short-tempered exterior while clashing with new neighbors, a boisterous family whose chattiness and habits lead to unexpected friendship. Copies of the book will be available to check out prior to the meeting. Please ask for one at the circulation desk.
