When did Pittsburgh first become Pittsburgh?
Gen. John Forbes gave Pittsburgh its name in November 1758.
Here is some of the text of the Gen. Forbes letter, as excerpted in The Gentleman's Magazine. A copy of the periodical, bound into book form, is in the collection of the Heinz History Center. "I have the pleasure of acquainting you with the signal success of his majesty's arms over all his enemies on the Ohio, by having obliged them to burn, and abandon their Fort duQuesne, which they effectuated up on the 24th instant (Nov. 24, 1758), and of which I took possession with my light troops the same evening, and with my little army the next day. The enemy made their escape down the river, part in boats and part by land, to their forts and settlements upon the Missisippi, [spelled without the fourth S] having been abandoned, or, at least, not seconded by their friends the Indians, whom we had previously engaged to act a neutral part, after thoroughly convincing them, in several skirmishes, that all their attempts upon our advanced posts, in order to cut off our communications, were vain, and to no purpose; so now they seem all willing, and well disposed to embrace his majesty's most gracious protection. "Give me leave, therefore, to congratulate you upon this important event, of having expelled the French from Fort duQuesne and this prodigious tract of fine rich country, and of having, in a manner, reconciled the various tribes and nations of the Indians, inhabiting it, to his majesty's government." Before he left the Forks of the Ohio, Gen. Forbes took one other important action, describing it in a Nov. 27 letter to William Pitt, whom he saw as architect of the British victory. "I have used the freedom of giving your name to Fort Duquesne," he wrote, "as I hope it was in some measure the being actuated by your spirits that now makes us Masters of the place." After a difficult winter journey, Gen. Forbes made it back to Philadelphia, where he died on March 11, 1759. He was buried in that city's Christ Church. Thom MacIntyre, thommacintyre@gmail.com

Who is Dr Kent Moors with The Energy Circle publication?
Kent Moors, PhD, is the famous (in oil and energy circles) political science professor and financial and government-intelligence advisor, from Duquesne University in Pittsburgh, and one of the most cited sources by media and scholars on oil and gasoline prices.
An eponyymous law, Moors' Law (to be disambiguated from "Moore's Law," a similar law for the doubling of transistors on a silicon chip), says: The price of oil doubles every 5 years with the doubling of automobiles in China.
Moors' law is based on Chinese motorization reaching a critical mass and world production of conventional oil reaching a maximum in the year 2005. From this point forward there was an annual increase in oil prices of 15 percent per year, representing a doubling in 5 years.
