Ouch! Static
Electricity
I received an email from a local reader and she was
wondering about Static Electricity. This is the time of year
that we all get “zapped” flipping the light switch in the house.
Rosa is wondering what causes this.
Everything we see is made up of tiny little parts called
atoms. The atoms are made of even smaller parts. These are
called protons, electrons and neutrons. They are very different
from each other in many ways. One way they are different is their "charge." Protons have a
positive (+) charge. Electrons have a negative (-) charge. Neutrons have no charge.
Usually, atoms have the same number of electrons and protons. Then the atom has no
charge, it is "neutral." But if you rub things together, electrons can move from one atom to an-
other. Some atoms get extra electrons. They have a negative charge. Other atoms lose elec-
trons. They have a positive charge. When charges are separated like this, it is called static
electricity.
If two things have different charges, they attract, or pull towards each other. If two things
have the same charge, they repel, or push away from each other.
Weather Trivia:
If you walk across a carpet, electrons move from the rug to you. Now you have extra elec-
trons. Touch a door knob and ZAP! The electrons move from you to the knob. You get a
shock.
Here is an experiment you can do: Light a light bulb with a balloon

Tiger’s long
road back
Remember the fairy tale where villagers trying to steal the
feathers of the Golden Goose became stuck to the goose and
to each other, forcing them to trail behind the goose wherev-
er it went in a conga line of the greedy?
You can imagine the length of the conga line behind the
first billion-dollar athlete. So it’s not surprising that after the
fall, Tiger Woods’ management firm, IMG, set to work to re-
invent their Golden Tiger. His handlers’ work will be a blue-
print for marketers current and future, especially those that
specialize in fallen angels. Just as the battle plans of
Alexander the Great are studied at West Point, so IMG’s
plan, which I have named “Back From Perdition,” will be
taught at Wharton.
In my estimation, the plan is as follows:
Step 1: Know
the history of your
public.
“We are a society
of second chances,”
said Mark Steinberg,
Tiger’s IMG agent.
“That’s been proven
over the years.”
Step 2: Take
the current tempera-
ture of your public.
Steinberg took a
poll of Tiger’s mar-
ket appeal that he
says shows “very
powerful, positive, positive results.”
Step 3: Pound away at the concept of redemption to ap-
peal to the religious population, and emphasize “rehabilita-
tion” to those who either know someone who has problems
or themselves have problems. These two cover about every-
one in the world — a good place to start if you need to mar-
ket your man.
Steinberg again: “We want to be part of the redemption,
rehabilitation. … And (Tiger) knows that. He’s comfortable
with it. And he’s going to do that.”
Step 4: Exploit the element of transformation.
Change everything about Tiger so he’s not the same man
who did the bad things. He’s been to therapy; he’s changed
his swing. His personal life has radically changed with his
divorce. He’s now friendly and open, he tweets, he has a new
kid-coach his own age, he smiles. He even dresses different-
ly, giving him a new, trendy, more “in” look. With this make-
up team, Shaq O’Neal could be an undercover cop.
QUOTE OF THE WEEK
Still, the logic is forcing. The general public was against
the old Tiger, but here is the new Tiger. The ironic part is “The biggest problem has been my putting because I’ve got nowhere to put my elbows.

to play like the old Tiger. And this, of course, is the hairpin

We are planted in a field of
force called gravity, and all of
our body systems, such as
balance, touch and move-
ment, have evolved to
accommodate the challenges
of living in a force field that
presses us to the earth.
But balance is not automat-
ic. Like language, it is a
learned skill. Humans do not
hit the ground running from
day one. A baby totters and
falls until balance is learned.
It is not until about 7 years of
age that a child can run and
jump as efficiently as an
adult.
Running is learned — so is
jumping. And so, of course,
are the unique balance re-
quirements necessary to hit a
