  1. wait... what? Trent Internationale School? Sugar Land? I've driven by there when going to buy paint at the Pittsburgh Paints store, and thought it was some small private school for foreigners living in Houston to send their kids to. It has a Basketball academy? I've never seen the name mentioned in the Houston Chronicle. Weird.

    So now I've watched the video, and see that it was taken at the Texas Southern basketball arena...

  2. I've always heard that all the schools governed by the Texas State BOR were invited to change their names to Texas State-(city name) and most said "hell no."

    Because no one would go to TSU-Huntsville! Seriously - someone who's son went to SHSU once told me he never said he's going up to Huntsville to visit his son - he always said he's going up to Sam Houston State. :excl:

    Why would Sam Houston & SFA want to change their names?

  3. Every energy source will disrupt something else when developing it. It doesn't matter if it is petroleum, wind based, solar, nuclear, etc... They all have benefits and drawbacks.

    LIke this?

    New research finds that wind farms actually warm up the surface of the land underneath them during the night, a phenomenon that could put a damper on efforts to expand wind energy as a green energy solution.

    Researchers used satellite data from 2003 to 2011 to examine surface temperatures across as wide swath of west Texas, which has built four of the world's largest wind farms. The data showed a direct correlation between night-time temperatures increases of 0.72 degrees C (1.3 degrees F) and the placement of the farms.

  4. The beginning of the story focuses on Rice scheduling to play at A&M in 2013, but reading down a few paragraphs:

    To the degree that we can we'd like to play a guarantee game that generates considerable revenue for us each year. We would like to play an FCS team at home each year. If we can work out the dates and the arrangements we would like to play Houston every year and then the fourth non-conference game, assuming we're going to have eight conference games, we would like to have a home-and-home. To get there is going to require some real moving around and some real negotiating.

    This stood out to me when I heard it on the news last night. Just substitute SMU / TCU for UH, and stop scheduling the "guarantee game" against top 25 schools (or at least, not top 10), and this might be our ideal schedule as well.
