CLEMSON - The closing statement Brad Brownell made to reporters after Clemson's season-ending defeat in the NIT semifinals in New York City came out of nowhere.
It was Brownell's view on the changing landscape in his industry, and why he thought his Tigers far exceeded expectations this winter.
"I don't think in college sports as much any more, there are that many true teams in college athletics," Brownell said. "There's a lot of teams that wear the same jerseys, but I don't think there's that many true teams in college sports anymore. I think there's a lot of agendas going on that really make it hard for coaches and players to all get paddling in the same direction.
"That's one of the reasons we were better than people thought. We were one of the few teams that really were a team."
Junior forward K.J. McDaniels soared from athletic yet unknown wing to first-team all-ACC, yet as his coach and teammates tell it, he never got a big head about his success.
McDaniels' sidekick? Some nights it was point guard Rod Hall, some nights it was center Landry Nnoko, some nights it was who's-got-the-hot-hand shooting guard Damarcus Harrison or Jordan Roper. Six other players had their hand in the cookie jar from time to time as well.
"We had guys that were unselfish. We had guys that accepted roles, did their jobs and were proud to do their jobs, and weren't trying to do more than that," Brownell said in Wednesday's press conference to wrap up the season. "The guys got along really well. Because of that, we played as close to our potential, on most nights, as most people."
Programs like UConn, Florida and Wisconsin flourished in the Final Four by embracing the team-ness of basketball. Even Kentucky and its late-blooming cast of one-and-done talents (presumably) was praised by Brownell, for the way the Wildcats came together in March.
"It's not easy, now. It's really hard with Coach (John) Calipari to do it with that much turnover every year," Brownell said. "Managing rosters is a big part of this, in an ever-changing culture where people are leaving more quickly and people become disenchanted so fast, who aren't satisfied with waiting their turn.
"Being a part of the team isn't as important as it used to be in some ways, and that becomes very challenging."
Over the limit?
All 12 of the Tigers' scholarship players could conceivably return to the 2014-15 roster. Gabe Devoe and Donte Grantham are already signed for next season.
That's one more scholarship than the 13 allowed in NCAA Division I basketball, if McDaniels decides to return for his senior year.
Brownell doesn't yet know of McDaniels' intentions, but regardless, he figures the situation will resolve easily with a potential transfer.
"I haven't met with every kid to see what they're thinking. They see what's coming back, they see how much they're playing, and they know whether they're happy with that," Brownell said. "It usually works itself out because guys really want to play. They don't just want to play a little; they want to play a lot. I can't play you all 25 minutes; I just can't."
Ten different Tigers started a game this season, but only six averaged more than 15 minutes per game. Guard Devin Coleman already transferred at midseason.
"I want our players to have a great college experience," Brownell said. "You only get to do this one time in your life, I want you to enjoy it, I want you to fulfill the dreams you have for yourself, and if they're not being fulfilled here, then we need to help you find another place. Sometimes that happens."
On the mend
Forward Jaron Blossomgame (bruised leg, suffered March 18) and guard Patrick Rooks (hip injury, suffered last fall) will ease their way into summer workouts.
"They're both better. They're fine," Brownell said of the pair of freshmen. "They're not ready to do anything full-speed yet. But we hope those guys will both be ready shortly."
Rooks redshirted the 2013-14 season, and could give Clemson some much-needed shooting depth. Meanwhile, Blossomgame finished with 4.9 points and 5.0 rebounds per game his first season back from a broken leg, but he missed the last three games of the Tigers' NIT run.
"I'm thankful made it as long as he did," Brownell said. "I'm very thankful that Jaron got to play his freshman year because I know how hard that kid worked and the obstacles he overcame; he deserved his freshman year and helped us win some big games."

a COMMUNITY THEATRE SEASON
presented by newwayinTHEATRE
at Mangere Arts Centre, Auckland
From 16 Mar 2012 to 17 Mar 2012
Reviewed by Grant Hall, 17 Mar 2012
Birds, written and directed by Dianna Fuemana, is a dramatic, topical and fast paced urban story of a Niuean mother and son living in Avondale, Auckland. Fuemana shines a mirror on what life is like for a teenager entering adulthood and his mother, a solo parent who struggles to guide them through turbulent stages of their life together.
This mirror Fuemana shines produces a colourful, physical and powerfully insightful slice of suburban social realism, Niuean style. The story is tight, well directed and told mostly by means of monologue with short integrated periods of dialogue. The play is a successful blend of light and shade, humour and poignant drama.
Fuemana adopts the methodology of physical theatre to help propel the story and this suits the content and urban context of the play. This technique allows the inherent and dynamic movement abilities of the two actors to shine.
The primary power of this play is with the acting. It transports the story as it dances, prances, jumps and shouts. The performers thrust the narrative in your face, like graffiti, like the wail of a siren, like a good hiding and even like a rock-filled poi!
Ali Foa'i plays a very believable Tommy and array of other characters, which he expresses and weaves into his performance with skill. He manages to communicate angst and passion in a persuasive and realistic manner, without going over the top, which would run the risk of rendering his central character a stereotypical caricature. Another highlight is his portrayal of Tommy's infatuation, Ngahuia, that he handles with effeminate streetwise aplomb.
Nora A'ati is a very convincing mum, auntie and an eclectic united nations of characters from the multicultural world of Avondale. Her portrayal of Moka though is pivotal, as it is central to the narrative tension, and she deals it up, serves us with a dose of domestic and maternal reality. Like her counterpart Foa'i in this two hander, she navigates the transitions between a significant list of characters, in monologue and dialogue, in an adept, mature way.
Both actors should be congratulated on their performances.
The set and lighting is minimal with only two props: fluorescent pink and blue spray cans which are sprayed to good effect! The show features a central projection screen on which is shown a montage of urban and domestic imagery as well as a series of New Zealand Niuean statistics.
The A-V content, which is mostly supportive in creating an urbanised and site-specific context, could be further developed and integrated more successfully within the play's narrative. The lighting is simple and particularly effective in theNiueIslandreflections.
Birds is based firmly within a Niuen perspective, though its central themes of cultural detachment and societal conflict are universal within the general Pacific Island diaspora existing in New Zealand. The play is another new and important piece of Pacific theatre that proclaims significance and relevance alongside a strong growing foundation of contemporary Pacific stories.
This play is well worth taking in, it's worth the hop, skip and jump to Mangere Arts Centre and if you cant make it to this short season, keep an eye out for it as I am confident it will, like the Birds of its title, migrate to a venue near you in the near future.

Clare Bowen Nude: Nashville Star Takes It All Off in Allure! (PHOTO)
Nashville's Clare Bowen (Scarlett O'Connor) is stripping off her signature peasant top and baring all for Allure Magazine's "Look Better Naked" issue (on stands now). This blonde bombshell leaves little to the imagination in the smoking hot photoshoot by famed photographer, Patrick Demarchelier, and posed along with fellow A-listers like Glee's Naya Rivera, Once Upon a Time's Jennifer Morrison, and Cougar Town's Christa Miller (cover girl Amanda Seyfried chose to remain clothed).
"Sometimes I sleep naked. Everyone does sometimes, don't they? I hope," Clare tells Allure. "My body isn't going to look like this forever. I think it's lovely to have that preservation."
This Aussie songstress was more than happy to strip down for Allure's provocative shoot (which has been featured in the May issues since 2000), and wanted a realistic portrayal of her hot bod. "I said they could photograph my scars. This isn't a rite-of-passage thing or a risqué thing. It's about body image and making other people feel good."
Clare's nude portrait is more than a little revealing, but the shoot was tastefully done and this gal's gorgeous blonde hair manages to cover her lovely lady lumps — just barely!

Some English deictic words include, for example, the following:
The origo is the context from which the reference is made—in other words, the viewpoint that must be understood in order to interpret the utterance. (If Tom is speaking and he says "I", he refers to himself, but if he is listening to Betty and she says "I", then the origo is with Betty and the reference is to her.)
It is common for languages to show at least a two-way referential distinction in their deictic system: proximal, i.e. near or closer to the speaker, and distal, i.e. far from the speaker and/or closer to the addressee. English exemplifies this with such pairs as this and that, here and there, etc. In other languages, the distinction is three-way: proximal, i.e. near the speaker, medial, i.e. near the addressee, and distal, i.e. far from both. This is the case in a few Romance languages and in Korean, Japanese, Thai, Filipino and Turkish.
Spatial deictics are often reused as anaphoric pro-forms that stand for phrases or propositions (that is, items of discourse, not items of the outside reality). Consider the following statement:
In the above example, this ice is not near the speaker in the physical sense, but the deictic does not refer to real ice. This ice refers to the phrase ice hidden in unexplored places, which is conceptually near the speaker in the discourse flow.
Pronouns are generally considered to be deictics, but a finer distinction is often made between personal pronouns such as I, you, and it (commonly referred to as personal pronouns) and pronouns that refer to places and times such as now, then, here, there. In most texts, the word deictic implies the latter but not necessarily the former. (In philosophical logic, the former and latter are collectively called indexicals.)

Fox Mustang Disc Brakes - Braking News
We Thought GT 500 Brakes Would Be Fitting For The Fox 500 Project. We Hope We're Right!
Horse Sense: Instead of an engine's vacuum, a hydraboost brake system uses the power-steering pump to hydraulically minimize braking effort. These systems don't require a large vacuum reservoir, thus they take up a lot less space in the engine compartment.
As regular readers know, our latest build project is called the Fox 500, due to the fact that Editor Turner's personal '88 T-top hatchback is going to resemble some sort of SciFi Channel close encounter of a Fox platform and Shelby GT 500 running gear, once the talented and innovative crew at Paul's High Performance do all the hard work. So in keeping with this whole Fox 500 scheme, it makes sense to try and employ as much GT 500 supporting hardware as possible, right?
When new, Fox-body 5.0s suffered from infamously inadequate braking. With increased nose weight and roughly 500 ponies (to start with) coming onboard our blown 5.4-liter LX project, the guys at PHP accepted the challenge of trying to harness the enormous whoa-power of the Shelby's manhole-cover-size front brakes (available now through Ford Racing Performance Parts as PN M-2300-S). This idea wasn't without its tribulations, however, the most obvious being that no one at FoMoCo even remotely considered the idea of anything approaching 14-inch-diameter rotors when engineering the trusty old Fox. Think about it: These rotors are the same diameter as some wheels available on early Foxes.
Of course, our LX also needed some rear disc brakes for its shortened Strange 8.8-inch axle, along with a complete conversion to five-lug hubcaps, so we again turned to FRPP for its M-2300-K Cobra disc brake conversion kit. It encompassed everything we needed for braking out back and way more, including the essential SN-95 front spindles and an adjustable proportioning valve.
In order to squeeze the GT 500's broad-shouldered 5.4-liter into the Fox engine room, we also needed to switch to a compact hydraulic brake booster in place of the bulky factory vacuum booster, at least if there was to be any hope of retaining power brakes-something highly recommended in what we expect will become a regularly driven missile of a street car. Luckily, Hydratech Braking Systems had just what we needed: a bolt-in setup similar to that used on factory modular-motor SN-95 'Stangs.
So, before we run out of space, here's a quick look at the Fox 500's bodacious braking hardware. Now we just have to find rims-and maybe fenders-that will work with those gargantuan Shelby front binders.

Over a quarter century ago, in the summer of 1976, Martyn L. Schorr founded a magazine known initially as VETTE Quarterly, which evolved into the publication you are reading today. It has been a long road, indeed.
Last December, Team VETTE looked at the developments of the magazine and the Corvette world as a whole from our first issue through the first ten years of print. We pick up here, in our concluding installment, in 1986 and watch as new life is bred into the automotive world. As we'll see, VETTE was there to cover it all-the good, the bad, and the sometimes ugly. America's Sports Car, while always setting the standards by which others were judged, reemerged as a true performance car with almost infinite possibilities as the kinks were worked out of computer-controlled engine management. This led up to the present, where Corvette enthusiasts enjoy unprecedented levels of comfort, performance, and quality. So, sit back and enjoy the ride as we take a drive down Memory Lane.
December 1985/January 1986 was labeled Vol. 9, No. 6. It had 84 pages including covers, 20 of which were color, and was published bi-monthly by CSK/ Stephen Schneider in South Hackensack, New Jersey. Magazine founder Marty Schorr held the title of Senior Editor, with Cliff Gromer simply called "Editor," Art Director Morgan Smith, and phantom Technical Editor Sal Zaino also on staff. Contributors included former racers Dick Guldstrand and John Greenwood, Jerry Heasley (who's still an active contributor), tech guru Roger Huntington, Bill Erdman (a future staffer), and Ralph Eckler. Regular columns were Inside by publisher Stephen Schneider, Corvetting by Cliff Gromer, Retrospect written by Mr. Schorr, Pricing by Jerry Heasley, Racing contributed by Greenwood, and Eckler wrote a Q&A column on his specialty, Fiberglassing. The layout of the early issues was reminiscent of a newspaper, with articles broken up and continued a paragraph or two at a time over numerous pages at times, making it somewhat confusing, not to mention that the articles were not always continued on the pages said.
The Dec./Jan. issue contained a chronicle of the '63 Z06's debut at SoCal's now-late Riverside International Raceway, as well as a history of aluminum Chevy cylinder heads. There were rumors of a super C4 to come, and this issue highlighted sketches of yet another mid-engine "next Vette," tentatively labeled as a '90 Grand Sport.
February/March (Vol. 10, No. 1) announced the return of a Corvette convertible for 1986, which would also be the '86 Indy 500 Pace Car. On the cover was one of the most over-the-top and grotesque custom Corvettes to ever "grace" these pages. Entitled "Captain Nemo," it took the form of a fully rebodied '71 coupe, with countless louvers, scoops and wings, pseudo jet engines stuck on the back, sidepipes and four exhaust tips in the tail, wheelie bars, flames...you get the idea. It made the Corvette Summer movie car look subtle. VETTE also reported that Corvette racers were destroying the Porsche 944 Turbo prototypes in SCCA Showroom Stock competition.
April/May looked at the sleek Corvette Indy concept car with a 2.65L, four-cam, 32-valve Chevy Indy racing engine, four-wheel drive and four-wheel steering. VETTE peeked into the GM proving grounds at factory prototype turbocharged V-8 and V-6 Corvettes. There was a guide to Corvette literature and a look at the LS-7 454 Corvette that never was. The June/July issue saw an increase to 27 color pages, with spreads on old big-block ads, Italian-style Corvette body kits, and Retrospect had a great piece on escalating prices and the late-'80s/early-'90s Corvette commodity phase.
In the September/October issue, VETTE gained two new staffers: Jim Koscs as Associate Editor, and Tony DeFeo replaced Sal Zaino as Technical Editor. Sal never once had a byline. There was also the first-ever Old versus New Shootout, with a '67 427 Tri-power matched against an '86 C4. October/November's Inside bragged that subscribers would now receive their magazines in a protective plastic wrap. Content included an '87 Corvette preview, and introduced RPO B2K, the factory-approved Callaway Twin-Turbo option which provided 345 horses for an extra $20G over base. This was the first major power option from GM since the '71 LS6.

Would I rather be feared, or loved? Both .. I want people to fear how much they love me." - Michael Scott.
Just like most of you women out there, I am tired of the bar scene too! It is hard to meet someone of good character in a bar. Not saying that it cannot happen, but figured I would give this a shot. I am looking for someone to laugh and share good times with. Everyone has there own style, so not being judgmental is key. Everyone deserves a chance, but you only get one chance to make a first impression! I am a very witty person and I love to laugh, and make others laugh too. I am a big on character and integrity .. which unfortunately there is not a lot of anymore in this world! My dad always told me that 'character is who you are when no one is around and no one is looking' and I love that. Basically doing the right thing because its right, and not doing things for praise or an advantage. I'm a very confident person in many ways, and also spontaneous. I enjoy a routine every now and again, but you have to change it up every once in a while! My ideal woman is someone who is intelligent, a joker, mixed with a little bit of sarcasm. Conversation goes a LONG way with me. Caring and sweet, with a beautiful smile. It's the first thing I notice in a woman. Doesn't have to love the exact same things that I do, but some things are a plus. The older I've gotten has made me appreciate differences more than the similarities. I come from an Italian family with old school morals and values. Pitbull is a nickname, my real name is Joe. Also the tattoos I chose to show, were not me trying to be a bad . They are my most meaningful tattoos I have and there is a world of consideration, inspiration and faith behind them. I've lived outta state before and there is no place like sweet home Chicago! I've been through a lot and have had my own experiences, like most people. The past is the past and I'm looking forward to the future. The past has made me who I am today and I don't regret it. Chivalry is not dead ladies, there are some people out there who were raised right and open doors and so on still! Just because I have some tattoos doesn't mean I cannot be a gentleman. A woman who appreciates the small things and doesn't take them for granted is a plus. I will admit that I like certain things a certain way, but only because its how I was raised. One of the things I don't like about this website is that you can't get the full effect of someone. People hold themselves differently out in public, and people have confidence that you can't get through these pictures! Some of my favorite things include hockey, tattoos and motorcycles. If that sounds interesting to you then leave me a message. Look forward to hearing from you.

Who says Christmas can't happen in March? For a lot of folks today, March 5 is indeed Christmas II as The Last Bison released their major label debut "Inheritance". An 11 song collection of new material and an material from their 2011 independent release, 'Quill", that have been re-recorded and reincarnated. The first of a five album deal with Republic Records, it is available everywhere and in every format. Grab your digital copy on iTunes or Amazon along with a vinyl copy or run down to Best Buy like I did and pick up the CD.
As you insert the disc, press play or drop the needle, fair warning that your face will instantly turn into a silly grin knowing that you've followed this band from their first show at Borjo, heard Switzerland for the first time on 96X, watched them on their first television appearance on The Hampton Roads Show and attending their show at the NorVa. Every dreaming musician needs to own this great record and embraces it and a play with the notion that to pursue your dreams to the fullest and that one day they will come true.
Thank you Dan, Ben, Annah, Amos, Andrew, Teresa and Jay for making this fantastic record. The world is now in your hands.

So much for original television content on your Xbox One.
While the Xbox brand is remaining largely untouched by Microsoft's sweeping 18,000 job cuts, there is one significant casualty: Xbox Entertainment Studios is being shuttered.
The studio was created in order to make exclusive television content for Xbox owners. Not everything went according to plan, however, and the studio—which employs roughly 200 people—is being phased out.
"As part of the planned reduction to our overall workforce announced today and in light of our organization's mission, we plan to streamline a handful of portfolio and engineering development efforts across Xbox," Xbox chief Phil Spencer said today in a statement. "One such plan is that, in the coming months, we expect to close Xbox Entertainment Studios."
While Spencer praised the accomplishments of the studio, sources told Recode that the studio was disorganized and lacked a firm business model. This in turn chased away potential content partners, making it difficult to secure original content.
All is not lost, however.
The Steven Spielberg-produced Halo television series will continue production, as will the documentary series Signal to Noise. However, all the other promised original programming is on the chopping block.
Microsoft hired CBS entertainment president Nancy Tellem in 2012 to head-up Microsoft Entertainment Studios. Tellem will continue working on the two productions, as will other top-level members of the studio. There is no indication yet of how many employees will lose their jobs as the result of the closure.
In total, Microsoft is set to cut up to 18,000 jobs out of a total of just over 127,000 employees. Most of the cuts will be from the devices division which acquired 30,000 new employees when Microsoft purchased Nokia last year.
While the closure of Microsoft Entertainment Studios may make financial sense, especially if it was being run as poorly as sources suggest, it's yet another change to Microsoft's original vision of the Xbox One as an all-in-one entertainment device.
Those changes include walking back an online requirement for the console, a new used game policy that limited the ability to resell games, and the bundling of the Kinect motion and voice sensor just to name a few. And while some have been met enthusiastically by consumers, the broader portrait Microsoft has been painting is a lack of confidence in their product.
That's a troubling sign, even if Xbox One sales have increased since the release of a cheaper, Kinect-free SKU in June.
Given Microsoft's focus on games at this year's E3, perhaps this should come as little surprise. And given Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella's sharp focus on shaping the firm as a "productivity and platform company for a mobile-first and cloud-first world" it's easy to see why the studio would be phased out.
For my part, cutting television programming is far preferable to cutting game content. At least we're not hearing about game cancellations. Or at least not yet.

D.C. Public Schools Title IX complaint filed by National Women's Law Center
The National Women's Law Center says that D.C. Public Schools do not give high school girls the same opportunities to participate in athletics as boys, prompting them to file a Title IX complaint against the school district.
According to documents obtained by the NWLC through a Freedom of Information Act request, DCPS needs to provide hundreds of new athletic opportunities to level the playing field between boy's and girl's sports at D.C.'s public high schools.
The disparity between female enrollment at these schools and opportunities to compete reaches past 25 percent on some campuses and past 10 percent on most of them, the complaint says.
DOCUMENT: Read the full National Women's Law Center Title IX complaint
"Generations of girls in D.C. have lost the chance to reap the tremendous benefits associated with playing sports," NWLC Senior Counsel Neena Chaudhry said in a statement.
Among the highest disparities between female enrollment and athletic opportunity in the District include Ballou (26 percent), Roosevelt (26 percent), Phelps Ace High (20 percent) and Wilson (19 percent). That figure constitutes the percentage of students that are girls minus the percentage of the school's athletes who are female.
In a statement, D.C. Public Schools spokesperson Melissa Salmanowitz told ABC 7 News that they're proud of the steps they've taken to create opportunities for female student-athletes.
"Over the past several years, we have pursued an aggressive agenda to help ensure our female student-athletes are able to compete in a variety of athletics," she said.
Salmanowitz added that DCPS looks forward to "correcting the record" when it comes to the Title IX complaint.
Beyond the gaps in participation, the NWLC report details that sports that girls have shown high interest in playing at school, including soccer, swimming and tennis, are rarely offered on campus. In addition, the NWLC outlines disparities in practice facilities, quality of equipment and uniforms and accessibility between boys and girls sports.
"Forty-one years after passage of Title IX, it's past time to give girls who have waited far too long the athletic opportunities they deserve and that the law requires," NWLC Co-President Marcia Greenberger said.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Tuesday he envisaged a dramatic expansion of Israel's diplomatic ties with China, including a possible role for Beijing in Middle East diplomacy.
Speaking in Tel Aviv at a celebration marking 20 years since the two nations forged relations, Netanyahu said: "I think we've barely scratched the surface of Israeli-Chinese relations. I have no doubt that in the coming years we'll see a dramatic expansion of these ties.
Israeli government figures estimate bilateral trade as having totalled some $8 billion in 2011, up from $6.7 billion in 2010.
Netanyahu also saw Beijing as playing a role in European and U.S.-mediated diplomacy between Israel and the Palestinians.
Under Communist rule, China was a main backer of Palestinian struggle for statehood but later lowered its profile on the conflict after forging ties with the Jewish state in the early 1990s.
"I think we can also work together to address the challenges of securing Middle East peace," Netanyahu said at the gathering attended by Chinese and Israeli diplomats.

« New Tucson Buses to Burn B20 Biodiesel Blend | Main | Ballard Closes Second Fuel-Cell Fork Lift Deal »
White House Directs Refineries to Postpone Maintenance, Forget ULSD
8 September 2005
The Financial Times reports in its 8 Sep edition that the White House has told US refiners to postpone all scheduled maintenance in a drive to maximize gasoline and diesel production.
The instructions come in the wake of the latest DOE forecast of an average price for oil of around $70 per barrel in September ($67 in the event of a very fast recovery from Katrina; more than $72 in the case of a slow recovery).
Washington has also told refiners to stop producing ultra low-sulfur diesel to increase gasoline output, according to the report.
A senior executive from a big refinery in Houston said: "The message from the government is: 'run the refinery as high as you can and avoid all the non-priority maintenance in the next four or six weeks'."
A Louisiana refiner said: "The White House said: 'Forget about (ultra) low-sulphur diesel. We need gasoline and diesel. We need you working 100 per cent'."
New regulations on producing ultra-clean diesel were due in January but are now likely to be postponed, refiners said.
Postponing maintenance is a dangerous game—especially when running at full capacity—that can lead to serious accidents. Reducing fuel quality standards may make sense in a very short term emergency, but in the long-term would have negative impacts not only on public health, but also on the engines and exhaust systems that are being (expensively) developed anticipating the availability of clean fuel.

Listed below are links to weblogs that reference White House Directs Refineries to Postpone Maintenance, Forget ULSD:
I'm shocked, shocked I tell you. Imagine this administration more interested in pumping out more oil/gasoline than environmental protection, public health, or occupational health. Shocked!
Bush knows that the economy is an oil junkie, so there's no way he will choose clean fuel over enough fuel. It's taking a step back, but I wouldn't say it's shocking. Other reports tell of refiners limiting their output on purpose to drive up prices. They also find ways to encourage consumption, I'm sure you can imagine who was happy to help them out.
So he proposes to spread the enviromental disaster in Louisiana all over the country.
That's absurd, tom; this is a delay of new regulations and a slight rollback (sulfur levels) which will give us some more particulates and acid rain for a while. It's not catastrophic or irreversible.
What it will do is increase refinery efficiency (not just throughput but output per barrel), which is very important given our crude-supply crunch. This is crucial for meeting needs for heating oil and LPG this winter.
Of course, if the administration really wanted to conserve heating fuel we could stop wasting it in ethanol distilleries.
Engineer-Poet's got a pathological hatred of ethanol.
His calculation is silly. Most houses in the US are heated with nat gas, oil or electricity.
He'd have people install coal fired furnaces instead, and call it a great deal, because the coal is so much cheaper than either nat gas, oil or electricity, and because the coal would also be used so much more efficiently than in coal fired power plants.
Ethanol is a high value fuel, like gasoline or electricity, it's worth more per kWh than coal or wood or corn.
There's a conversion loss, which, however, is more than made up by the value gained. Which explains why burning ethanol in cars today is a good choice, and burning wood isn't for most people, because they don't want to have to manually fill their wood stove every few hours and consequently would rather pay a bit more to heat electrically or with nat gas.
For drivers, however, it makes no difference whether they burn gasoline or E10, except that ethanol is so much cheaper to produce compared to current wholesale gasoline prices, that this is really a good deal.
I burned a tank of E10 during my last trip west in my Honda Civic Hybrid.
Couldn't tell the difference.
It's obvious to everybody but Republicans that when all the fossil fuel is gone, we are going to become a renewable fuels civilization. Right now, that means BioDiesel and Alcohol.

Send comments to firstname.lastname@example.com , or perhaps more usefully,
Let's consume more and pollute even more seems to be the order of the day. Future clean ups will be a major task, if we are still around. How about our children and grand children.....they will have to fix it?
Heiko must be married to a distiller, because he can't explain why people would be angry about a scheme which cuts the available energy from a bushel from 374 kBTU to 220 kBTU, consumes LPG and natural gas required for heating fuel before a winter when severe shortages are certain, and takes the taxpayer's money to do it.
That calculation leaves out by-products, which could be burnt, but are actually more valuable as animal feed.
The micro-organisms don't consume much energy, so ethanol plus by-products isn't too far away from the original corn.
Most of the distilling requirement is low grade heat, and low grade heat provided at large scale is quite cheap.
Hi Lucas,
yes indeed, ethanol and biodiesel are the two renewable fuels for transportation today.
Batteries aren't up to the job yet, nat gas isn't renewable and you can't just mix it with gasoline or diesel, as is the case for ethanol and biodiesel. Instead you need a CNG tank, which takes up space and is expensive, and nat gas gives poor range as well.
The government aught to mandate the ethanol producers to operate closed loop since they "produce energy" they should be self sustaining, especially when government funding is involved.

A searchable database of project activity in the global hydrocarbon processing industry
Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.
Will previously-planned downstream investments be cut back in 2015 due to lower global oil prices?

August 04, 2009--On July 31, two AP1000 nuclear power projects were approved by central China's Hubei Province. In addition, the Hubei provincial government reached an agreement with the China Guangdong Nuclear Power Group (CGNPG) to further promote the development of Hubei's nuclear power industry. Hubei Xianning nuclear power plant is expected to become China's first inland nuclear power project. The main part of the project is due to start construction in the second half of 2010.
Sun Qin, deputy director of the National Energy Administration (NEA), said that vigorously developing nuclear power is an important measure to cope with the international financial crisis, and is also of great significance to optimize energy structure, protect energy security, actively respond to climate change and protect the environment. The NEA supports local governments and conglomerates to further promote the development of Hubei's nuclear power industry.
He also said that the NEA will prioritize developing nuclear power for energy restructuring and will drive the nuclear power industry to develop quickly and safely.
Following continuous and rapid economic growth during recent years, Hubei Province has an increasingly high demand for energy. Developing nuclear power has therefore become an inevitable choice.
Since the Hubei provincial government signed an agreement with CGNPG to co-develop the Hubei nuclear power project, CGNPG has been steadily promoting the construction of the Hubei Xianning nuclear power project. Hubei Province has made noticeable achievements in various works including the development of new nuclear power projects and nuclear power industrial chains.
Hubei Xianning nuclear power plant is expected to become China's first inland nuclear power project.

But the rocket won't be carrying astronauts--instead, it'll convey the cremated remains of people from a half-dozen countries. While the rocket's main payload will be a naval communications satellite for the U.S. Department of Defense, SpaceX has granted payload space for canisters of these ashes to tag along for the ride.
"If you had to check off where you wanted your ashes to go?space would be the coolest option," said Elon Musk, the Internet entrepreneur who started SpaceX after founding PayPal and selling it to Ebay. Musk started SpaceX in hopes of one day transporting passengers into outer space. Before that can happen, the company's business will center on using its rockets to transport military and commercial satellites.
With the successful launch of Paul Allen and Burt Rutan's SpaceShipOne this year, interest in human space travel is rekindling. Once the domain of defense contractors, the military and NASA, outer space is now opening up to private investors with dreams of exploration and the drive to turn concepts from science-fiction novels into reality.
British entrepreneur Richard Branson has already signed an agreement to license the design of SpaceShipOne to one day send a few high-paying customers into the outer atmosphere. Organizers of the Ansari X Prize for a reusable space vehicle, which was won by SpaceShipOne, are expected to launch more contests to foster a commercial space industry.
Houston-based Space Services is the company offering the chance to send ashes into the earth's orbit. At a cost of between $995 and $5,300, depending on weight, Space Services will store ashes into the aluminum canisters that will travel in rocket payloads.
Space Services loads individual canisters of ashes into a larger capsule in the tip of the rocket. Once the communications satellite launches, the final stage of the rocket containing the capsules remains in orbit until gravity eventually drags it down into the earth's atmosphere, where it incinerates on re-entry. The orbit lasts more than 10 years, according to Space Services.
The company has already sent its cargo into space four times, including one trip to the moon. Some of the famous ashes that have taken the ride include those of "Star Trek" creator Gene Roddenberry and '60s activist Timothy Leary. This time around, the cargo will include the remains of Mareta West, an astrogeologist who mapped the moon for lunar landings; and John Meredyth Lucas, one of the original writers and directors of "Star Trek." The payload includes ashes from the United Kingdom, Japan, France, Germany and Russia.
After dispersing some of his ashes off the coast of Southern California, Lucas' family decided to include the Hollywood producer's remains with the Falcon 1 to commemorate his adventurous spirit.
"He loved to travel when he was alive, so we figured why should death slow him down?" his son Michael said in a phone interview.
SpaceX is combing over last minute details to ensure a successful take-off.
While SpaceX is slated for three more launches, tensions are high for its first real test.
"If this was a software package, imagine having a very complex release and you can't do a bug fix when it launches," Musk said in a phone interview. "The first time when it really has work as an integrated system is on its first flight."

- Isn't there enough junk in space already?
- It's incredible. There are systems monitoring space debris continuously because it can take out operational devices (and manned crafts), and these guys are adding ashes of dead people to it?
If these parts are light enough and get enough speed, they will never drop down, but stay in orbit forever. We are creating a new environmental problem out of our atmosphere for the decadency of some. But what else is new...

- Earl, where are you??
- I'm certain we'll agree on this one!
This is worse than useless.
I've often wondered what is stopping somebody from designing a device that can move space debris into an orbit that send it into the sun for disposal. Probably costs... Although, if people keep throwing their trash into space, it may become a necessity.

- Well
- Well the problem with disposing of orbital debris is that you both have to match the objects velocity and trajectory before altering it (some of the stuff up there is moving fast enough to punch through a tank without slowing down). Then it has to expend more fuel to alter the objects trajectory out of orbit (or deeper into orbit to make it burn up).
Even with ground based solutions like lasers it would take a significant amount of energy to sufficiently alter an objects trajectory at the velocities required to maintain planetary orbit.
That kind of technology would cost millions to develop.. not to mention the energy required to operate would cost nearly as much again.
Its just more cost effective to track and try to avoid the stuff up there right now. If theres no profit to be made from cleaning it up.. why should those with the resources and authority to do so care?

Architecture: Smart and fun overhaul for Paul Smith's Mayfair outpost
I used to work in Mayfair for a while, a period of my life I chiefly remember for prohibitively high lunch costs and an introduction to what plastic surgery actually looks like in real life. But its combination of high fashion, history and wealth throws up its fair share of interesting buildings and the new Paul Smith shop designed in conjunction with 6a architects is sure to join that roster.
The exterior is covered with eye-catching cast iron panels which incorporate some of Paul's own doodles (such as the bird below) – a wonderful manifestation of a brand which has long embodied both quality and personality. This combination continues inside with a sleek, stylish feel allied with nice details like the wall of the shoe section covered with 26,000 dominoes. Have some of that Mayfair!

Hello I would like to know how to create custom theme color for twitter widget. Instead of the default theme light and Dark.
I want to change theme style to #005CB9 http://codepen.io/mwbcomputers/pen/ADahj
From https://dev.twitter.com/docs/embedded-timelines
> ## Customization Options
> Embedded timelines are available in light and dark themes for customization. The light theme is for pages that use a white or light colored background and follows the twitter.com aesthetic, while the dark theme is for pages that use a black or dark color background and looks more like Tweetdeck.
> As with your twitter.com profile, you may choose a custom link color for your embedded timelines so that the content matches the links of your website and feels integrated into the color palette of your site.
> For sites where the theme and link color do not provide enough customization to make the Tweets feel like they're a part of the page, we offer a set of additional client side customization features. These settings allow you to control the background color, borders, header, and footer of the timeline, and are detailed in the "Client Side Options" section below.
So you're pretty much stuck with light or dark. If you want to style things differently, you'll need to avoid using the embedded timeline and do something like this: http://jasonmayes.com/projects/twitterApi/#sthash.7onsZuyu.dpbs
I might pay one of my developers to custom make it then. They don't give the every day person much choices.
Guy, the original twitter widget has loads of limitations. There is few great js scripts that can pull widget data from twitter without having to use the default widget markup & styling:
Customize Twitter Widget
CodePen demo
So far I think this is the best method and works fine with 1.1 API

The middle of winter is the perfect time to add a little change here or there inside to give you a little lift until the temperatures start climbing again. Rather than redecorate or renovate an entire room, the best way to make a bold change is by switching up some of your furniture. If you are not sure which way to go yet, you may want to take a look at the furniture at our Basil Street Gallery which is now all on sale until January 15th!
Egyptian home decor is one way to change the theme of your interior design. You can go from a minimalist or traditional look to an eccentric and royal theme with the addition of just one or two pieces of Egyptian furniture. Something as fantastic as our Queen Ankhesenamum Life-Size Sarcophagus Cabinet is truly a conversation piece that you can rest assured nobody else on the block will have.
Medieval home decor is another way to change an entire theme with only a few key pieces. Something like this Warwickshire Dragon Glass-Topped Coffee Table will bring just the right amount of fantasy into your home no matter what room you put it in.
When you are looking into changing a room or redecorating, you don't have to break the bank or tear out any walls. Decorating at Design Toscano is done no muss no fuss style, and with all of our furniture on sale from January 10th or January 15th there is no better time to do so.

Kampala — THE strange viral disease that struck the western district of Bundibugyo in August and has todate killed 16 people has been confirmed by the Health Ministry to be the Ebola haemorrhagic fever, a deadly disease for which there is no cure.
Announcing the existence of the Ebola strain in the country yesterday, Dr Sam Zaramba, the director general of health services said; "The Ministry of Health would like to inform the public that the mysterious disease outbreak in Bundibubyo has now been confirmed to be Ebola." The confirmatory laboratory tests, initially carried out at the National Institute of Virology in South Africa and later at the US-based Centre for Disease Control, comes months after the disease spread to 14 villages in the affected district.
Dr Zaramba yesterday denied reports that the government had known about the deadly epidemic outbreak weeks earlier but concealed it in order not to scare away foreign dignitaries who were scheduled to attend the just concluded Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Kampala.
"It would be unethical for me to keep quiet (about an epidemic outbreak). It is true we knew there was a strange disease in western Uganda but had not got the conclusive confirmation that it was Ebola until today (Thursday) morning," he stressed.
He said the laboratory diagnostic process was so arduous and protracted that out of 20 (blood) samples sent to foreign capitals, "only eight tested positive".
Dr William Sikyewunda, the district director of health services for Bundibugyo said latest reports indicate the disease had killed at least 27 residents and 51 others were infected, mainly in Bubukwanga and Kasitu sub-counties. But other unconfirmed reports put the total death toll to date at 50.
The government yesterday dispatched a team of health officials from the Ministry of Health headquarters in Kampala to strengthen rapid response capability in the trouble spots.
"The initial supplies and drugs for case management have been mobilised and isolation facilities are already operational in Bundibugyo Hospital and Kikyo Health centre (IV)," the ministry said in the press statement.
The chairman of the National Ebola taskforce, Dr Sam Okware, said the Ebola strain identified in the western enclave is "completely different" from the four known sub types of the heamorrhagic fever namely; Ebola Sudan, Ebola Zaire, Ebola Reston (that only affects monkeys) and Ebola Tai (Ivory Coast).
The common symptoms of Ebola, that causes death in 70 to 90 percent of all clinically ill cases; include very high fever, diarrhea, vomiting associated with red eyes and a measles-like rash. Health officials issued a countrywide wide Ebola alert and urged the public to be vigilant and promptly report any suspected cases to the nearest health facility or call the cell phone hotlines 0772507799, 0772409810.
Daily Monitor has established that a core group of specialized staff from World Health Organization, Unicef, MSF - France and Afrinet left for Bundibugyo yesterday to join local medics and bolster case management of patients, contact tracing and public education. "Ebola is spread by close contact with body fluids of an infected person or people who have died of the disease. Anybody handling suspected cases must use appropriate protective wear," the official warning statement said.
Medical experts say the incubation period for the Ebola virus is between two to 21 days, depending on the strain.
By last evening, information emerged that Bundibugyo hospital medical superintendent only identified as Dr Ssesanga and Dr Joshua Akure, another medic and employee of International Air Ambulance were down with illnesses suspected to be Ebola.
Ebola last struck Uganda in the northern district of Gulu in October 2000 and killed 224 people, including Dr Mathew Lukwiya, the then medical superintendent of Lacor hospital, who first identified and later relentlessly spearheaded the fight against the disease. It was believed that Ugandan soldiers who were by then returning from the Democratic Republic of Congo brought the disease into the country.
The WHO says Ebola has in the past four months killed 160 out of 352 infected persons, especially in the southern province of DRC's Kasai Occidental, which is about 2, 000 kilometres away from Uganda.
The virulent disease was first identified in the Western Equatorial province of Sudan and in a nearby region of former Zaire (now Democratic Republic of Congo) in 1976 and about 1500 cases with over 1000 deaths have been documented ever since.
Just like Marburg fever, the Ebola virus' natural reservoir is still a puzzle, experts have said, but it seems to reside in African rain forests and in areas of the Western Pacific, according to the United Nations health agency but is said to be part of a group of negative-stranded RNA viruses, known as Filoviridae and mostly not airborne.

opinionBy Mohammed G. Katamba
There was some uncertainty, even within Parliament itself, about the success of the Parliamentary Week, which was held to commemorate Uganda's Golden Jubilee. Parliament organized its own activities during the Parliamentary Week held September 24 - 28, 2012, ahead of the official national celebrations.
Under the guidance of the Speaker, the Clerk and deputy clerks, a small working group came up with a host of activities which included: a charity walk during which funds were raised to save the crested crane; a blood donation drive; a public lecture; netball and football matches between Parliament teams playing retired/veteran netball and football national players.
To crown it all was the Awards Dinner held at the Commonwealth Speke Resort, Munyonyo, on September 28, 2012. At this dinner, former Members of Parliament, speakers and deputy speakers, clerks to parliament, leaders of government business and the opposition and other distinguished personalities in the legislative field over the last 50 years were recognised.
The dinner was graced by the president, who, as former chairman of the NRC, was one of the recipients of the evening's awards. Several personalities who made a mark on Uganda's legislative and democratic process turned up for the event, surprising many, including the organizers. Among them was the Speaker of the 1st Parliament of Uganda, Rt Hon Narendra Patel.
Patel replaced Sir John Griffin (who was represented by his great grandnephew) as Speaker in 1963 until 1971. During this parliament, the Independence Constitution was amended to provide for a ceremonial president, a position filled by Sir Edward Mutesa II, with the Kyabazinga of Busoga becoming the vice president.
Present at the same event was Rt Hon Francis Butagira, Speaker during the multiparty parliament in 1980 1985 and Rt Hon Prof Edward Rugumayo, who was Speaker during the 3rd Parliament - the National Consultative Council (NCC), put in place to perform the legislative functions of government following the fall of Idi Amin in 1979. These two served in difficult times.
The NCC came in after years without a parliament and comprised members 'elected' from outside Uganda. The 4th Parliament followed disputed elections in which the UPC formed government, while the DP, UPM and CP were in opposition. Parts of the country were experiencing war and a coup occurred as the term of parliament was coming to an end.
Rt Hon Butagira was later to serve in various positions in both government and the diplomatic service, while Rt Hon Rugumayo also served as a diplomat and later as minister of Internal Affairs and then Tourism, Trade and Industry.
Baganchwera Barungi was the first Ugandan Clerk to Parliament. He was followed by Edward Ochwo who served through the troubled 1970s and early 1980s until 1989 when the long serving A. M. Tandekwire (1989 - 2011) took over. These were all present.
Dr Paul Kawanga Ssemogerere, former President General of DP, minister in government, Leader of Opposition, was also there. He has been involved in the country's politics since the 1960s.
Hon Florence Lubega, Hon Joyce Mpanga, Hon Sarah Ntiro and Hon Rhoda Kalema - distinguished ladies in Uganda's political and education fields over the years, also attended and were awarded for their illustrious service.
Members of the 1st Parliament or their representatives also attended, all of whom were pleased to see one another after a very long time. The current Speaker, Hon Rebecca Kadaga (also deputy Speaker 2001-2011), Clerk, Mrs Jane Kibirige and members of the current Parliament were also in attendance.
This was a true reunion, with politicians and civil servants of different generations coming together, sharing experiences and reminiscing about their roles in pre and post-independence Uganda.
As Parliament, we were delighted that we could, and indeed brought, together all these distinguished people, who were part of our history. Hopefully, in the next 50 years, some of this history, much of which has been left unwritten or misrepresented, will be documented.
Putting together these activities of the Parliamentary Week was not an easy job. While working on the souvenir August House magazine (which was also well received), we encountered difficulties in finding facts, written or recorded information.
We only realised the magnitude of our predicament when Edward Ochwo informed us that they were actually ordered to burn all government/parliament documents, including pictures, in 1971 on the orders of President Idi Amin.
Ochwo said this was done under the watchful eye of Amin's soldiers in the parliamentary gardens. We hope this will not happen again and that indeed all recorded information will be available for future generations.
The author is Senior Information Officer, Parliament of Uganda.

- Optimization and antiviral analysis of peptide ligands for the HIV-1 packaging signal PSI (2006)
- Oral presentations Background: We selected peptide ligands for the HIV-1 packaging signal PSI by screening phage displayed peptide libraries. Peptide ligands were optimized by screening spot synthesis peptide membranes. The aim of this study is the functional characterization of these peptide ligands with respect to inhibition of HIV-1 replication. Methods: Phage displayed peptide libraries were screened with PSI-RNA structures. The Trp-rich peptide motifs were optimized for specific binding on spot synthesis peptide membranes. The best binding peptide was expressed intracellularly in fusion with RFP or linked to a protein transduction domain (PTD) for intracellular delivery. The effects on virion production were analyzed using pseudotyped lentiviral particles. Results: After positive and negative selection rounds, phages binding specifically to PSI-RNA were identified by ELISA. Peptide inserts contained conserved motifs of aromatic amino acids known to be implicated in binding of PSI-RNA by the natural Gag ligand. The filter assay identified HKWPWW as the best binding ligand for PSI-RNA, which is delivered into several cell lines by addition of a PTD. Compared to a control peptide, the HKWPWW peptide inhibited HIV-1 replication as deduced from reduced titers of culture supernatants. As HKWPWW also binds to the TAR-RNA like the natural nucleocapsid PSI-RNA ligand, the effect on Tat-TAR inhibition will also be analyzed. Currently T-cell lines are established which stably express HKWPWW as well as a control peptide, which will be infected with HIV-1 to monitor the ability of HKWPWW to inhibit wild type HIV-1 replication. Conclusion: The selection of a peptide ligand for PSI-RNA able to inhibit HIV-1 replication proves the suitability of the phage display technology for the selection of peptides binding to RNA-structures. This enables the indentification of peptides serving as leads to interfere with additional targets in the HIV-1 replication cycle.
- Ökosystem statt Nutzwald (2011)
- Functional characterization of two scFv-Fc antibodies from an HIV controller selected on soluble HIV-1 Env complexes: a neutralizing V3- and a trimer-specific gp41 antibody (2014)
- HIV neutralizing antibodies (nAbs) represent an important tool in view of prophylactic and therapeutic applications for HIV-1 infection. Patients chronically infected by HIV-1 represent a valuable source for nAbs. HIV controllers, including long-term non-progressors (LTNP) and elite controllers (EC), represent an interesting subgroup in this regard, as here nAbs can develop over time in a rather healthy immune system and in the absence of any therapeutic selection pressure. In this study, we characterized two particular antibodies that were selected as scFv antibody fragments from a phage immune library generated from an LTNP with HIV neutralizing antibodies in his plasma. The phage library was screened on recombinant soluble gp140 envelope (Env) proteins. Sequencing the selected peptide inserts revealed two major classes of antibody sequences. Binding analysis of the corresponding scFv-Fc derivatives to various trimeric and monomeric Env constructs as well as to peptide arrays showed that one class, represented by monoclonal antibody (mAb) A2, specifically recognizes an epitope localized in the pocket binding domain of the C heptad repeat (CHR) in the ectodomain of gp41, but only in the trimeric context. Thus, this antibody represents an interesting tool for trimer identification. MAb A7, representing the second class, binds to structural elements of the third variable loop V3 and neutralizes tier 1 and tier 2 HIV-1 isolates of different subtypes with matching critical amino acids in the linear epitope sequence. In conclusion, HIV controllers are a valuable source for the selection of functionally interesting antibodies that can be selected on soluble gp140 proteins with properties from the native envelope spike.

FIFA president Sepp Blatter has suggested that football could one day be played on other planets. The 78-year-old made his remarks to delegates from FIFA's 209 member nations on Wednesday, just two days before the World Cup is set to kick off in Brazil.
"We shall wonder if one day our game is played on another planet? Why not? Then we will have not only a World Cup we will have inter-planetary competitions. Why not?" he said.
Blatter's lighthearted comments were made at the start of a hugely important congress, as FIFA reels from a number of crises including corruption claims and the controversy surrounding Qatar WC 2022.
The FIFA president also hinted that the football association has not had the easiest of times recently.
However, Blatter's comments have produced mainly a sarcastic reaction on Twitter.

It was reported earlier this month that Blatter is facing renewed pressure to hold a re-run for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar after a whistleblower leaked documents showing US$5 million worth of alleged secret payments to help Qatar win its bid to host the event.
The Qatari bid was controversial even before the corruption allegations, given the country's extreme heat in the summer months and the lack of domestic support for the World Cup.
There have also been huge human rights abuses, and workers' rights groups estimate that thousands of people could die building the infrastructure to hold the event – compounding a problem that already exists regarding the ill treatment of cheap immigrant labor.
Meanwhile, Brazil has seen massive protests in the run-up to the 2014 World Cup which kicks off on Friday. Millions have voiced their anger, stating that the $11 billion spent on hosting the event could have been better spent on healthcare, education, and transport.
Even graffiti which was designed to celebrate the country's football heroes was vandalized two weeks ago.
Blatter is expected to stand again for his fifth term as FIFA president in 2015.

Southeast Michigan educators collaborate on parent summit
The debate surrounding reforms to the education system has prompted several MEA locals in Southeast Michigan to put together a parent education summit in Novi on Monday, May 13.
The summit, which runs from 6:15-9 p.m. in the auditorium of Novi Middle School, 49000 W. 11 Mile Road in Novi, includes four sessions, and will be moderated by WXYZ-TV reporter JoAnne Purtan. Teachers, school board members, a representative for Gov. Rick Snyder, state Board of Education members, state legislators and school administrators will be on the panel.
The event is hosted by the Novi Education Association and Novi Community Schools, in partnership with Farmington Public Schools, the Farmington EA, the Livonia EA, the Plymouth-Canton EA, the South Lyon EA, the Walled Lake WA and the Waterford EA.
"We hope parents get a better idea of what has been happening in the public schools — the last few years in terms of continued legislation that dictates how we function as an organization," said Seth Furlow, public relations chair for the Novi EA. "We also hope they get some answers as to why this is happening from the lawmakers involved and why they believe these changes have been implemented. We also hope to provide a perspective from the people within the school systems, which too often have been missing from these decisions."
"This affects every member of our community, even those without children," Furlow said. "We hope to have a full house at the Novi Middle School auditorium."
The first session will focus on student performance and what makes schools effective. The second session deals with teacher recruitment, professional development and evaluations. The third session will talk about public financing for education, while the fourth and final session will be a question-and-answer session with the audience.
