Operating on limited funds and borrowed equipment, PBS had to literally throw together its operation in Miami Beach and still keep tabson'the candidates wandering around the country. The author,an engineering manager with KCET-TV in Los Angeles, outlines the engineering gymnastics that PBS had to go through to provide thecoverage necessary. The video equipment, telephone communications,power requirements, and remote set ups are described in careful technical detail.

  • PORT ARTHUR, TEXAS: the End of the Line for an Economic Myth
    PORT ARTHUR, TEXAS: The End of the Line for an Economic Myth August 2017 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This report was researched and written by Mary Greene and Keene Kelderman of the Environmental Integrity Project. THE ENVIRONMENTAL INTEGRITY PROJECT The Environmental Integrity Project (http://www.environmentalintegrity.org) is a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization established in March of 2002 by former EPA enforcement attorneys to advocate for effective enforcement of environmental laws. EIP has three goals: 1) to provide objective analyses of how the failure to enforce or implement environmental laws increases pollution and affects public health; 2) to hold federal and state agencies, as well as individual corporations, accountable for failing to enforce or comply with environmental laws; and 3) to help local communities obtain the protection of environmental laws. For questions about this report, please contact EIP Director of Communications Tom Pelton at (202) 888-2703 or [email protected]. PHOTO CREDITS Cover photo by Garth Lenz of Port Arthur. Executive Summary The Trump Administration’s approval of the Keystone XL Pipeline will lead to a surge in demand for oil refining at the southern end of the line, in Port Arthur, Texas – and a real test for claims that the administration’s promotion of fossil fuel industries will create jobs. The industrial port of 55,000 people on the Gulf of Mexico has been the home of America’s largest concentration of oil refineries for decades, and business has been booming. But history has shown little connection between the profitability of the petrochemical industries that dominate Port Arthur and the employment or health of the local people who live in this city of increasingly abandoned buildings and empty lots.

    MOLLY OF DENALI Episode Descriptions and Curriculum Episodes #101-139 NOTE: EPISODE NUMBERS ARE NOT IN BROADCAST ORDER EPISODE 101: Grandpa’s Drum Molly finds an old photo of Grandpa as a child and is shocked to see him singing and drumming—Grandpa never sings. When Grandpa tells her he lost his songs when he gave his drum away, Molly goes on a mission to find his drum and return his songs to him. Curriculum: IT Learning Goals: To compare texts and integrate information across multiple textual sources when reading or researching (this could, but need not, lead to writing or developing a presentation). Molly and Tooey look at landmarks in a photo taken in the past and compare them to how the landmarks look in the present. To use a variety of language, navigational, structural, and graphical text features (like a photograph) to help access (read, listen to, and/or view) or convey (write, speak, and/or present, including visually) meaning (which vary depending upon the type of informational text). Graphical Feature: Photograph. Molly and Tooey examine an old photograph to find clues that help them discover what town the photograph was taken in. Social Studies: Collect and examine photographs of the past and compare with similar, current images. Classify events as belonging to past or present. Molly compares an old photograph to new images of towns in Alaska to discover what town the photograph was taken in. Alaska Native Value: Honoring your elders. Knowing who you are — you are an extension of your family. Continuing the practice of Native traditions.

With one picture, the first one sees it as spots on a giraffe. The second one sees it as eyes and a nose when you turn it around at 90 degrees. The third one sees it as a close-up of Swiss cheese. The fourth one sees it as two balloons playing catch. It all depends on how you look at it. The four LeVars look at a couple more eye riddles. Many people see many things in different ways. Besides having a unique way of seeing things, people's other senses are unique too. LeVar loves coming Arthurs Eyes the farmer's bazaar because he gets surrounded by all kinds of sights, smells, and textures. He challenges the viewers' eyes at seeing Arthurs Eyes of certain fruits and vegetables. The things the viewers see are viewed through a special camera lens. Some people use special lenses to see things, especially when they can't see well. LeVar explains, "I wear glasses, and sometimes I wear contact lenses. A different color blindness, unlike with your eyes, has something to do with your mind. It has nothing to do with what you see, but how you see it. LeVar has a flipbook he made himself.
