Trying to find your way around this place? Like most expositions, we offer a map: 
Perhaps better titled, "Of these, I am frustrated":
1. That Seed continues to give Dow Chemical a platform to spend their marketing dollars.
2. That the School of Engineering in which I teach is using it's funds to sponsor a talk by the American Petroleum Institute--they, a pro-industry group who sponsors researchers seeking to show that producing more pollution is not only fine, but dandy. The talk is ostensibly (and worse) part of an Energy Symposium meant to develop discussion around how the engineering community can promote more feasible, shall we say sustainable?, energy systems. I disagree that this is the right speaker to help that cause.
3. That the World Series didn't start last night, when it should have and, as a corollary, that we're so far gone by 2007 from Day Games in Baseball that I can't even legitimately gripe about the lack of Day Games in the Playoffs and World Series because it's too long past the point of debate. Remember all those old stands against night-only games, that it cut out the family aspect, that it removed the child-parent experience of watching the game together? Remember that? (I'll refrain from asking whatever happened to my long lost beloved Orioles. That's as pointless as bemoaning the loss of Day Games.)
4. That Wilco, so far as I can tell, sold their entire album to Volkswagen for commercial use, which might require further revision of the Truth.

Ah, but as Laozi might say, the Dow that can advertise in Seed is not the true Dow.
