The audience will enjoy the following talks and performances: Serendipity, Power of Optimism, The Mind and Music, Creativity in Education, Design Play for Kids in Extreme Environments, A Serpent’s Kiss, Preparing Students to Change the World, Augmented Reality, A Bollywood Dance Medley, Demystifying Creativity—You Don’t Have to Be Creative to Be Creative, Composing as Performing, Perfect People Principle, Beyond Comprehension, Simple Modest Creativity and much more.

To create an intimate setting for conversation and connections with the speakers and performers, the organizers of TEDxTheWoodlands have limited attendance to only 100 seats.

Those interested in attending the TEDxTheWoodlands conference should register via the event website at www.TEDxTheWoodlands.com. The deadline to register is Friday, September 2.

About TED
TED is a nonprofit organization devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. Started as a four-day conference in California 26 years ago, TED has grown to support those world-changing ideas with multiple initiatives. At TED, the world’s leading thinkers and doers are asked to give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes. Talks are then made available, free, at TED.com. TED speakers have included Bill Gates, Jane Goodall, Elizabeth Gilbert, Sir Richard Branson, Benoit Mandelbrot, Philippe Starck, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Isabel Allende and former UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown. Two major TED events are held each year: The TED Conference takes place every spring in Long Beach, California (along with a parallel conference, TEDActive, in Palm Springs), and TEDGlobal is held each summer in Edinburgh, Scotland.

TED’s media initiatives include TED.com, where new TEDTalks are posted daily; the new TED Conversations, enabling broad conversations among TED fans; and the Open Translation Project, which provides subtitles and interactive transcripts as well as the ability for any TEDTalk to be translated by volunteers worldwide.

TED has established the annual TED Prize, where exceptional individuals with a wish to change the world are given the opportunity to put their wishes into action; TEDx, which offers individuals or groups a way to host local, self-organized events around the world; and the TED Fellows program, helping world-changing innovators from around the globe to become part of the TED community and, with its help, amplify the impact of their remarkable projects and activities.

Spring Texas News Updates April 1, 2009

The Riddle Report March 31, 2009

Dear Friends and Neighbors, It took much longer than any of us anticipated, but the House is finally on a regular schedule, hearing bills every day on the floor. It seems every session we feel like we are behind the expected pace, yet we always seem to catch up. The real question is this: is it a good thing or a bad thing if we pass less legislation than normal? On the one hand, fewer laws usually means less intrusive government. On the other hand, good bills and bad bills both tend to die when we fall behind. Like my mother always told me: “There’s no piece of pie sliced so thin that it doesn’t have two sides!”
