There is a sense of urgency. Clearly the science says that we are approaching a point where if we wait, things will get that much worse. But there is a bigger picture here that I think is really important to focus on. There are strong indications that our own industries and industries around the world see clean energy and the green economy as an enormous business opportunity, the next big thing for the economy. If we don't move to address energy and climate as two side of the same coin we will lose out. Our economy will lose those...
...marched fans through the noble (but sometimes frustratingly static) Deep Space Nine, then the noble (but ever-so-slightly-belated) Voyager and on down into the black night of Enterprise, a well-intentioned but not very noble re-reboot that featured a theme song by Diane Warren (borrowed from - wait for it - Patch Adams) in place of the traditional, lush instrumental opener and, in the holy captain's chair, Scott Bakula (borrowed from - wait for it - Quantum Leap).

Then the wait, often in vain, for a New York City production (his work turns up more often in regional theaters) or the dismay of seeing it done poorly by American actors...

Unused tickets are released incrementally, so if you show up to Fenway in the early afternoon for a night game and wait in line, you can usually get some seats. If you don’t have an entire day to burn, however, then the best bet for your pocketbook is Craigslist.com, but if you prefer a guaranteed purchase, fans recommend StubHub.com as a slightly pricier alternative. Though bleachers offer the best...
