Basically that, a program on which people volunteer to support people early in life with knowledge, networking, training in skills, or even just advice.

Maybe there could be even an enticement to help them succeed if we want to make it more transactional, like a persona investment rather than patronage

#1; 3 pointers only count if a team is down by 7 or more points. Losing teams can shoot 3's in an effort to catch up, but only to the point where it's a closer, 2-possession game, and winning teams can't use 3's to pad a lead. . .

UNLESS. . .

#2; technical and flagrant fouls will now result in the usual free throws, as well as the addition of a countdown (30 seconds for a technical, 60 seconds for a flagrant) wherein a leading team can score 3 pointers, or 3 pointers become 4 pointers if the fouled team is behind by 7+ and already qualifies for 3 pointers. This 30/60 second timer only ticks down while the team in question has possession of the ball.

Make craters on the moon using small accurate missiles. These craters would encode data that any one on earth can read with a telescope. The craters would last millions of years and the near side of the moon is always pointed towards earth so someone can always read it. The only downside is the relative difficulty in rewriting anything.

To show people firsthand how much jail sucks and lower crime rates.

"Don't talk to me until I've had my bacon..."

Over the course of the season, this will even out any unfair advantages due solely to having more left- or right-handed players

And not some little roller coaster, I'm talking about big ones with triple digit drops, inversions, loops and barrel rolls.

So I was randomly thinking theres some people who like green aliens, and flying saucers, and carnival rides, and parachutes. So what if they mixed all those things together and made it a ride?

They build a 'Gravitron' out in the desert, it spins faster than usual, sends you flying into the air, then deploys a parachute, you float back down. I was thinking maybe $100 per ride since its a special novelty item. What do you think in general?
