Solar Panel Roads

When skimming through new and emerging technologies I came across a new idea for transportation as we know it, solar panel roads. These new roads are not only to function as a means of traveling but provide energy for our homes, street lighting,and also provide better street signage and make driving safer. Its also to believe that these roads could last up to three times longer than our standard roads and even have the power to be heated in winter which will prevent dangerous ice build ups.
I think this is a great idea and I am a little confused why this process has not already undergone construction. Solar panels and its functions in buildings and roofs have been known and developed for years so it only makes sense to bring it to our road systems. The US is so concerned about being green and being more cost efficient so this appears to be a great solution to alot of our current issues. As an Indiana native a solution to icy dangerous roads is very appealing especially after my near death experience last winter.

Race

It officially "hump" day and I am yet again going through the motions of school. I think "senioritis" has hit because each day seems more and more of a struggle. Today nothing too significant happened but as I was winding down with some friends we started to watch TV and was enthralled with the show Tyra. Trya's topic for the day's show was "Race in your face" apparently depicting certain race issues and stigmas. The topics at hand seemed arrogant and irrelevant to daily and important issues that arise from race. This formulated a topic amongst my friends and we started to dissect the term race and its true value.
We decided that race was in fact insignificant to our personal lives. We never found our says daily introducing ourselves as "white women" or really having any significance to our race at all but merely a means in defining the color of our skin. We came to the conclusion that we as a society have created the term "race" and have caused it to effect our lives and how we treat others. We decided it has never been the color of our skin that has defined us personally but rather our nationally and culture in which we live in.
So I challenge those out there to remove race from your vocabulary and see if it really changes the way you look at yourself, others, the world or the way others look at you.
