Statistics for percentage of electrical power consumption produced by wind show much room for improvement. But are still quite encouraging. American wind power reaches major power generation milestones in 2013

It' hard to tell when Laughlin is looking human nature and predictable behavior straight in the face, and when he is simply applying a a kind of sociological Ockham's razor to the business of predicting earth's energy future by assuming we will take the path of least resistance. He seems to go...

Journalistic history is replete with examples of people confined to tight quarters, such as those sitting at workstations or in factories, becoming ill en mass when one or a handful of employees become convinced that something 'in the air' is making them ill. What feels like very real symptoms...

Ha ! Wish I were a talented cartoonist. I'm picturing our esteemed legislators oblivious and waist deep in water while arguing their usual partisan nonsense on this issue.

Anyone care to guess how much of humanity's history has been intentionally destroyed by conquering armies and competing ideologies down through the centuries? Just what we know has been deliberately erased, is appalling.

I would just suggest getting some kind of nutrition into the little guy fairly soon, whether you return it to its mother or not. Young animals are like human infants--they need frequent feedings.

Yes, please do. An current email address might be even better.

If you can't hear the mountains talking, you're not listening.

Overall, I thought the Jennings special was a rather odd collage of mixed messages. The documentary was one of Jennings' last journalistic efforts before his death from cancer. The oft repeated pattern of those "in the know" trying to tell us something near the end of their lives? Maybe...

Have I posted this before? From my favorite X files episode:

Thanks, Constance. I can only say that I have been passingly acquainted with the radar operator/navigator on that flight, Patrick McCaslin, and he is indeed the "real deal". Col. McCaslin once related to us over dinner how he won his Purple Heart in the skies over southeast Asia. I had...

The size of the emulsion format, will not determine, but may place limits on resolution. In other words, an 8 mm frame cannot contain as much information as one of 35 mm or larger. So--great optics and other factors may be a necessary but not sufficient condition for a desired level of...

The seemingly solid beam or cone of light is one of those recurrently observed aspects of the UFO experience, like missing time, feelings of unnaturally quiet surroundings etc. I wish we could find a way of compiling a list of these, as there are so few constants in general and the ones we...

Sorry for the late reply. Life is what happens while we....yada yada. It sounds like you are teaching your students that most important and almost endangered exercise of our times: critical thinking. I also hope you are passing this knowledge and wisdom of teaching philosophy on to those...

I should balance my previous comments about potential dangers of information overload. Individual and group isolation and insular ignorance have a way of spawning their own kind of maladjustment leading to neurotic and insensitive attitudes. Picture the classic scene of ye olden peasants with...

Sounds like he kept his head in a bad situation. Glad he made it through !

Tossing my 2 pennies worth in as usual: There is historically an intimately personal aspect of this phenomenon that precludes it from obeying traditional rules of evidence. There would seem to be no way to observe the phenomenon without becoming intertwined with it. Or often without it...

Heard an 'expert' on NPR the other day opining that a certain amount of quiet boredom acts as motivation and stimulus for young minds. Presumably, the imagination's inner driven fantasy networks are brought on line to fill the temporary void. This is, of course, antithesis to constant and...

Well--As they say: You can't go home again.

One of the more curious recurrent aspects of close encounters is notation by witnesses of symbols or "glyphs" on the presumed craft. It's a theme that runs from Roswell to the present. ??
