I have not heard of this technology. Sounds like it would cover a multitude of problematic issues. I am a rock ribbed environmentalist, but a pragmatist as well. Any significant reduction in C02 emissions will have to depend on expansion of nuclear power. Cleaning toxic water would be a super side benefit. The U. S. must lead in all advanced technology.

Isn't that the sound one makes when they throw up?!

Possibly 6'1" 300 lb Brayden White committed to Stanford [Hidden Content]

100% true!

I'd argue that lol but that's not why we lost.

That and the fact that Houston didn't score a run when the game was tied 3-3 in bottom of 7th and Astros had runners at 2nd and 3rd with no outs. Another good pitching game gone to waste.

I don't think he go his foot on the bag until after the tag. Even the great ones make mistakes and him not sliding was simply very bad baseball. Tough loss to take today. Real tough loss!

Got the series win! Hope they can get a sweep versus Baltimore this weekend.

I know the FB/DL Husband transferred to San Augustine.

Lose 5-4 on bad call and challange. Alvarez was safe.

Another Y2K?

I thought this was very cool. Pasted from the Tribune link in my previous post above. And the excess heat from power generation can drive thermal desalination systems. In the Permian Basin, where oil and gas operations produce vast quantities of contaminated water known as produced water, that means a single reactor could simultaneously generate clean electricity and treat water that would otherwise be a waste stream. The heat from the reactor could vaporize the water, leaving salts and other contaminants behind for disposal, before condensing the vapor into clean water, said Douglass Robinson, Natura’s founder and CEO. “While we’re producing the electricity, the waste heat off of that electrical generation is the heat we could utilize for the desal,” Robison said. “So we do both at the same time.”

You do know that parents change residences for a large number of reasons, right? Job, cheaper housing, better neighborhood, different school district for their kids, etc. Nobody can stop people from moving. If they actually move, and can prove the change of address.... how is that the kid's fault? Why would a kid be punished by sitting a year if his/her parents made the decision to relocate? You can't prove why the move happened. And honestly.. it's nobody's business. I could sell my house this afternoon if I wanted to... for whatever reason I wanted to.. for however much I wanted to.. and move to wherever I wanted to. And if I still had kids at home, they'd go with me. And there's nothing nobody could do about it. They shouldn't be punished if I as there parent makes a decision to relocate. As long as none of us openly advertised that we were moving so my kids could get an athletic scholarship or play for a potential state champion, then who's to say it was for athletic purposes? There's no question that it has and does happen that kids/parent change schools to potentially be in a better position athletically, but it's not difficult to justify the move for legitimate reasons. Apartment complexes make it easy in metro areas like DFW, Houston, Austin, etc..

Why yes. Yes they do. But, I’m afraid spicy pork skins are out. Also, say goodbye to your classic AMERICAN breakfast of two eggs—any way, two slices of pork bacon or sausage, hash browns, and toast, biscuits & gravy, or waffles. 😀 [Hidden Content]

How is he eligible? If he broke a rule? How was he approved by the DEC? I suspect every school in the district submitted PAPFs for transfers. Do you any info on the transfers to the other schools in the district? Or just the teams that are good?

How hard would UIL fight this? They don't want to lose any money, I'm sure. If a school opted out for one sport, would they have to for every UIL event?

He transferred. Transferring is not illegal. What rule was broken.

Great job on the podcast. Which two kids are y'all talking about for shepherd's defensive line?

It could for sure..

I wouldnt mind seeing it in an open division at this point....I doubt most private schools would be interested

Question. What would be the criteria for schools that would "have" to play in this open division? I said "have to" instead of "choosing to" because I know some schools would rather play right where the UIL has them playing. If it's just open enrollment, you would be hurting small schools that have open enrollment. Would this open division have classifications?

I think that would be fine. I mean, why not?

I'd fascinated by an open division, the issue I think is you create an open division now you gotta let more private schools in...Just my guess at least

I don't want kids punished. Not at all. I want to see an even playing field. Create the new classification and be done with it. SOC and others have shown that with the talent they bring in, they can compete with 6A schools.
