The environmental concerns of proponents, and the casualties caused by their inevitable demise through corrosion due to weather and age. This article sites information and data gathered from federal and private environmental agency's and groups outlining the risks of Americas aging and extensive energy pipelines. The scary part is how little oversight on the safety and maintenance these company's who advocate for the safety of these pipes are given.

The agency is understaffed and lacks the resources to adequately monitor the millions of miles of pipelines over which it does have authority.

The article talks about how the educational system need to be more then just math, english, and science but also teach children active life skills and young adults life skills for the future career they may want in the future, teaching that the SAT's isn't the best approach for testing, very well written article that I enjoyed reading.

On this topic, so many things to say. I have to admit here the educational system is very different than other countries. What really surprised me, was that the classes like history, biology, chemistry, geography..are optional. I really don't understand how you expect a child to learn and get some general knowledge, if these classes are optional. It is most likely that the child would chose none or one maybe, and then we think oh, the child can learn from internet or TV. But, the child would rather play a game online or watch a movie. The educational system needs readjustment and the curriculum changed in some classes where you have only dry material to study. We live in a society where technology is everywhere in all forms, we should take advantage of that, and create something more attractive to kids with the purpose of learning, almost like a game. I am sure that will attract children, and it will even encourage competition among them. For example, some of the educational apps, we see on all devices.
