Curiosity Rover to Broadcast Will.i.am Song Live on Mars [VIDEO]
Whether or not you're a fan of will.i.am's songs, his music will soon be out-of-this-world.
NASA's Curiosity rover is set to broadcast a new song by the Black Eyed Peas singer live from the surface of Mars on Tuesday, NASA announced. It will take place at 1 p.m. PT (4 p.m. ET) at the agency's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif.
Called "Reach for the Stars," the song is about will.i.am's passion for science, technology and space exploration, NASA said. Check out the video above for more.
In addition, members of the team that successfully landed Curiosity earlier this month will describe the rover's mission at the event. They will also explain the technology behind the song's interplanetary transmission.
Will.i.am announced via Twitter that "Reach for the Stars" will be the first song from Earth ever to be broadcast from another planet.
— will.i.am (@iamwill) August 28, 2012
#blessed I will be apart of first song ever to be sent from another planet...mars to earth tomorrow go.nasa.gov/U6EJ3P #Curiosity
He then encouraged other celebrity tweeters, including Kim Kardashian and Justin Bieber, to "spread the word."
Please spread the word...my song— will.i.am (@iamwill) August 28, 2012

The event will be streamed on NASA's website, and broadcast on NASA TV.
Will.i.am, through his i.am.angel Foundation has also partnered with digital-learning company Discovery Education to develop a science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics initiative featuring NASA resources, such as Curiosity.

Jack Hidary: Another Mayoral Longshot
Sephardic businessman says he'll increase focus on outer boroughs.
Although he just entered the city's crowded mayoral race this week, Jack Hidary believes that by running as an independent and as a businessman not beholden to any interest groups, he can easily separate himself from the others in the field, whom he described as largely "career politicians."
"The career politicians running have had their chance to deliver for the people but have failed to do so," he told The Jewish Week. "It is time for independent leadership that takes us forward and not backwards to machine politics. It got us into trouble in the '70s when we were on the brink of bankruptcy. Do we want to be the next Detroit?"
Asked what distinguishes him from the other Jewish mayoral candidate, former Rep. Anthony Weiner, who is vying for the Democratic nomination, Hidary said Weiner had been his congressman and was a real "disappointment" because he did little for his district.
"When people look at Anthony Weiner's 12 plus years in Congress, he produced only one piece of legislation," he said.

By contrast, Hidary, 45, said he is "attractive to many communities." A graduate of the Yeshiva of Flatbush, he said his Sephardic family has been involved in education for more than 50 years and is "widely known in the Brooklyn Jewish community – and they have been a strong factor for my candidacy."
"Many people around New York City – educators, business people, school principals, small business people and entrepreneurs – called me and said you have to enter the race because we need a different choice," he said.
Hidary, a successful technology CEO who co-founded Dice.com, an online Website for job seekers, and is the current chairman of Samba Energy, said that as mayor he would pay particular attention to the outer boroughs.
"There's a lot of good economic development in downtown Manhattan, but how about Brooklyn?" he asked. "A lot of people want to start companies in Brighton Beach and elsewhere and are looking for the same services you find in Manhattan and they are not there. … So there is demand in the city from people who want to start and grow companies and expand out to the edges" of the city.
"I want to focus on community," Hidary stressed. "I have not heard one candidate talk about tangible investment in community centers and services. In my own community, I look at the benefits to New York City and my neighbors by the investment in the Sephardic Community Center, a public-private partnership at Ocean Parkway and Avenue S. Before it was built, families were moving to Long Island.
"The center has brought everyone back and focused the community — providing a place for small businesses to get mentors and adult education, for immigrants to come and get English classes and training for jobs. These are some of the many roles of a community center."
And yet, Hidary pointed out, the community center in Far Rockaway has been under construction for six years. He said it should be completed immediately because the area was hard hit by super storm Sandy and the community center would provide services urgently needed there.
Citing the city's unemployment rate of 8.9 percent, which he said translates into more than 350,00 people — up to 180,000 under the age of 25 – Hidary said the community centers "can provide training for various types of jobs and skills to help our youth get into the work force. And they will help individuals whose businesses have gone bust to start again. And I'm for micro-finance – low interest loans for those who can't get money from a bank to start their own business."
Despite his yeshiva education, Hidary said he has spent the last six years focused on public education, such as East Side Community High School at 420 East 12th Street.
"I have worked with that school as it blazed a new pathway in blended learning – a new approach all schools can learn from," he said. "I encouraged one of the yeshivas to visit it, and they are now adopting some of their techniques. It is moving away from textbook education – in which there is a lot of memorization and rote learning – towards team-based learning and working to solve challenges together."
Hidary said he also wants private schools to take advantage of some of the modern equipment found in public schools.
"We can build facilities dedicated to computer science that would be used by public school kids and rented by private schools for their students to make sure they have the best access to computer science," he said. "Just as we have public school yards leased by private schools, we could do the same for computer science."
Hidary said that between now and Election Day he plans to "get out with the people seven days a week. … You will have a very distinct choice in November. The choice will be going back to party politics or someone like myself – a uniter who will focus on community and has tangible plans to bring services to communities. That is a critical role of the next mayor."
Other longshots already in the race — candidates who are trailing in polls and fundraising and do not have the backing of unions or parties or major elected officials — include former Democrats Sal Albanse and Erick Salgado and Republican George McDonald.

After enduring five months of intense competition, today's elite collegiate basketball players are battle tested. With the style of play evolving each season, Nike is introducing a 360 degree approach complete with new base layer apparel, unique uniforms and customized footwear. This approach meets the evolving needs for players demanding superior performance with a distinct look.
Nike Pro Combat Introduced
As the leader in base layer apparel innovation, Nike will outfit Duke University, Gonzaga University, The University of Memphis, Michigan State University and University of Oregon in customized Nike Pro Combat. Nike Pro Combat is ergonomically designed to provide basketball-specific protective padding without restricting mobility on the court for maximum performance.
"College basketball is a tremendously quick and physical game, and Nike is committed to giving student athletes the best gear for battle," said Nike Sport Apparel and Innovation Creative Director Todd Van Horne. "Nike Pro Combat reflects the evolution of the game and provides our college teams with quality base layer apparel they need for their tournament runs in March."
The Nike Pro Combat Deflex short provides padding over the hip and thigh, and the Nike Pro Combat Deflex elbow pad provides superior protection. Both the shorts and sleeve will showcase vibrant team colors for each of the aforementioned schools. Nike is unveiling this special edition Nike Pro Combat visual color scheme that is custom designed for each school beginning for their conference tournament.
Uniforms Evolve in March
For the first time ever, these five schools will also wear distinct Aerographic jerseys during their respective conference tournaments and run for the national championship. Using Nike Aerographic technology, an engineered mesh providing zoned cooling and dramatically reducing the fabric density, the weight of the jersey is reduced by 31 percent compared to current uniforms.
"Our new Aerographic jerseys combine superior fabrics and breakthrough graphics for a look we're excited to bring to college hoops during the tournament frenzy," said Eric Lautenbach, Nike, Inc. Director of College Basketball.
The Aerographic jerseys debuted on the USA Senior National Team during the 2008 Olympic Games. An exclusively designed "We the People" graphic, inspired by USA's rich history, was showcased on the back of the jersey.
The five NCAA team jerseys are designed to reflect the unique identity of each university. These design patterns allow more ventilation in the burn-out mesh application.
Duke University: With gothic architectural inspiration, this design was inspired by the Duke Chapel, a major campus icon that speaks to the heritage of the university. It also includes a rendition of the original Duke crest. Duke will be wearing this jersey in conference tournament action.
Gonzaga University: The spiked collar of Gonzaga's bulldog mascot inspired the circular spiked design while the school's commitment to rise to the occasion led to a symbol of prosperity running vertically at the top. "Go Zags" is the design's centerpiece.
The University of Memphis: Dynamic tiger stripes representing the boldness of the mascot inspire this jersey design. The team's "refuse to lose" quote is abbreviated and included at the center of this design.
Michigan State University: Spartan battle armor inspired the dynamic pattern running throughout this jersey while the Michigan State logo forms the foundation. An ancient Greek shield design surrounds the Michigan State logo.
University of Oregon: Grid pattern detail throughout represents the trusses in the roof on U of O's Mac Court while the beams of the roof run vertically. The iconic Oregon "O" is the design's centerpiece.
Custom Designed Hyperdunks Unveiled
To bring the look full circle, each of these five teams went from the backboard to the drawing board by joining NIKEiD for one-of-a-kind shoe design sessions. The student athletes worked closely with NIKEiD designers to create a look that captures the essence of their program.
The Nike Hyperdunk has ushered in a new era of superior, lightweight design. Featuring Flywire, a performance architecture that uses thin and very strong nylon fibers to support the foot, the Hyperdunk is a favorite shoe among Nike's college teams.
This NIKEiD design sessions marked the first time Nike allowed collegiate teams total control over customizing their own team basketball shoes. The design potential was extensive, and players showcased their creativity and team identity. Fans of each school can replicate their team's design beginning March 10 at NIKEiD.com.

This post is probably going to be all over the place. I just need to get some thoughts out, and this is the place. I will ramble, and it may become "pep-talky" but it must be said. And, if someone else fostering, or someone considering it, is having these feelings, maybe my thoughts will help them feel less alone.
Albeit cheesy/punny, I think the title of this post is quite appropriate when it comes to attachment in foster care. It is something that must be fostered/encouraged/cultivated in order to grow.
Don't get me wrong, I feel an attachment to little Mr. In fact, when he first joined our family, I felt such a strong love for him that I was surprised. He immediately felt like a member of the family, despite knowing that he wouldn't be staying long. But over time, I've come to question my level of attachment... and this is, in part, due to his age (I think).
He's two. As a result, he throws tantrums (and toys) when he doesn't get his way. He screams "Iowannit" (I don't want it) to EVERYTHING. And recently, he's started adding to this phrase "Iowanpotty" (I don't want potty) "Iowantookie" (I don't want cookie) "Iowandobet" (I don't want go bed). He hits Meerkat. He tattles. He pushes boundaries and smiles while he's doing it.
It drives me absolutely insane. And I find myself lashing out (yelling) when I shouldn't. It's not like we're yelling all the time, but if you know us personally, you know it's very unlike us to yell at all. We're quite peaceful people. So, when I see my husband about to tear his own hair out because little Mr. has just forced himself to throw up so he wouldn't have to eat pasta, it makes me question things.
The first thought was, "maybe we're not attaching. Maybe because he's going home, we're not feeling the connection we need in order to be patient during a vomitfest." I guess to some extent that makes sense. But the more I thought about it, the more I realized that's just not it. Despite knowing that Mr. is going to go back to his parents someday, I would do anything for him. The connection is there. There's no doubt about it. When he cries, it breaks my heart. When he's sick, I want to snuggle him forever. When he goes to daycare, and I creep out the front door and watch him wander into the other room to play, I feel so proud and happy that he's beginning to like it there. When he says something new or does something smart (which is A LOT of the time), I am so proud I could burst.
But maybe the attachment is different than the attachment I have with Meerkat, to some extent. And I don't know if that's a bad thing.
We are learning as we go. So is Mr. He has never been in foster care before. He goes back and forth between here, his parents, and daycare. How could we ever expect him to behave 100% of the time? It's insane! He loves us; it's obvious. We love him; there's no doubt about it. But we have to cultivate the attachment and keep it strong. It's very important to keep that doubt... those little clouds of "what if" and "what's wrong with me" from taking over. If those thoughts take over, it will drive a wedge into the attachment that's already there. I believe that wholeheartedly.
This isn't the attachment post I planned to write. I still have things to say about attachment in foster care, and the parents role in that. I will compose that post in a little while... for now, I need to mush around in my thoughts for awhile. :)

In my experience, too many contractors refuse to let go of their way of doing things regardless of the cost to themselves and their business. They don't want to be confused with new ideas.
You may be running your business correctly and making a profit, but with just a little fine tuning of your "tried and true ways", you could be making more profit, with less effort. Why not take a look?
- Education is critical. Business takes effort and work. You must constantly study and try to improve. You were not born with the knowledge and ability to run your business, it is something that must be learned. Do you continue to work on your knowledge base so you can improve your ability to run your business? The one common thread among successful contractors is education.
This is not a hobby. This is not a practice round. This is the real deal. If you want to make money, then you need to do things in a manner that has proven effective and profitable. You must continue your education on a daily basis.
- Do your math, calculate your markup and use it. That is my Cardinal Rule #7. Pricing your jobs to be competitive will price you right out of this business. Successful builders and remodelers understand this and price their jobs accordingly.
If your price is in the same ball park as other companies, no problem. If your price is higher than others, you are selling a different kind of job or service and you may have to change your clientele and/or your advertising to get to the people willing to pay for the service you provide. Most important, you need to work on your sales skills. You have to effectively communicate the differences between your company and others to "sell" your services.
You must build value into your jobs to get the markup or the sales price that you need for your business to survive. The National Association of Home Builders surveyed over 2000 residential clients and found price was #7 on the list of considerations for owners when selecting a contractor. Clients will pay for quality work.
- You don't make money in this business working with the tools, period, end of conversation. Put the tools away and start running your business. "YaBut, I like to work with the tools." That means you have an expensive hobby.
You may make a living working with the tools but you physically can't work enough hours or charge a high enough rate working with the tools to make a profit. And if you are working with the tools, who is running your business?
- Forget buying new vehicles. All the tax exemptions in the world do not make up for poor cash flow and the monthly payments that accompany a new vehicle purchase. Plan ahead. Put money aside each month and when you have enough, purchase a good used vehicle. You know, the vehicle another contractor bought new and went broke trying to make payments.
For those who think a new vehicle helps you sell better, check your sales ratios before you bought your new rig and after. We will bet your sales to leads ratio has not changed. If you are still not convinced, read Dave Ramsey's book, "Financial Peace".
- Don't do Cost Plus or Time & Material jobs. They are losers, and always will be.
You may do a few and take some money home, but sooner or later, you are going to get bit and it will wipe out any possible gains you have made. Save yourself the heartache and use only fixed figure contracts. There are good reasons that when we do arbitration's, 9 out of 10 are on Cost Plus or Time & Material contracts.
- If you have more employees than your volume of work sold, built and collected will support, you will lose. This is a critical factor, but so hard for many to accept. It is difficult to let employees go, but if you don't have a positive cash flow, eventually the whole business will go under.
This is not subject to opinion. It is math. If there isn't enough volume to pay all salaries as well as material costs, overhead, profit, etc., how can you survive? This holds true no matter what type of construction related business you have. This topic is covered in detail in the book, Markup & Profit, A Contractor's Guide.
Run your business like a business and not a hobby. Pay attention to those who spent money (unwillingly) to learn this stuff. No more "YaButs".

Dan Walters: FBI's Calderon investigation threatens a political dynasty
When the FBI's undercover investigation of state Sen. Ron Calderon was revealed a few weeks ago, it not only put him in legal jeopardy, it altered the political dynamics of the Southern California region he and his political family have dominated for decades.
Almost immediately, brother Tom Calderon, a former assemblyman, dropped out of the race for the Senate seat that Ron Calderon would be forced to vacate next year due to term limits.
The two brothers, plus a third, Charles, have held San Gabriel Valley legislative seats almost continuously for three decades; when one would leave, another would take his place. Even without a Calderon running for the Senate next year, Charles' son, Ian, is in the Assembly and could be in the Legislature for another decade-plus.
Brother Tom figures prominently in the FBI's investigation. His departure from the Senate race – to spend more time with his family, he said – appears to pave the way for another former San Gabriel Valley assemblyman, Tony Mendoza, next year.
Mendoza, who was termed out of the Assembly last year, is piling up campaign funds and endorsements and seemingly would need only to outpoll a few other Democrats in the June primary to coast to a November victory in the 32nd Senate District, where Democrats have a 2-1 registration edge over Republicans.
But Mario Guerra has other thoughts. Guerra, a Cuban-born refugee, owner of a large insurance agency and mayor of Downey, is also a founder of GROW Elect, an effort by the state Republican Party to recruit and elect more Latino officeholders in a state in which Latinos are the largest single ethnic group. Guerra is also running in the 32nd district.
"I'm not running on Republican or Democrat," Guerra says. "I'm running on my record and what I want to do," citing education and job creation as the centerpiece of his campaign.
What happens to Guerra's Senate bid in the blue-collar San Gabriel Valley will be revealing about GROW Elect's ability to overcome the deep rupture – mostly over immigration reform – between the GOP and Latinos in the state.
Even were he to lose, a strong Guerra showing could generate name identification that could be useful in another run.
There is some buzz – although he says he has not encouraged it – of his running for the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors in 2016, when incumbent Republican Don Knabe will be forced out by term limits.
Were Guerra, or some other Latino Republican, to win Knabe's seat, it not only would be a big boost for GROW Elect, but would stave off demands by Latino-rights advocates that the U.S. Justice Department pressure the county to redraw its five supervisorial districts to add another Latino seat.
A majority of county residents are Latinos, but they hold just one seat now on the five-member board.

A university student who won free tuition for a semester after sinking a half-court shot has scored again, this time winning a new car.
Ball State University freshman Lem Turner, of Vernon Hills, Illinois, made his first lucky shot at a pep rally in August for upcoming athletic events in the new school year. Turner got only one chance to win the free tuition, but after taking a few seconds to prepare, he shot the basketball straight into the hoop with seeming ease.
Turner appeared on the "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" on Monday for another chance to win big. This time, he got three tries and was allowed to stand much closer to the hoop. In front of a national audience, the college freshman missed the first two shots, but he scored on the last.
DeGeneres did not reveal what his prize would be beforehand, but after Turner sunk the winning shot, the doors behind the hoop opened up to show a brand new Ford Focus SE Sedan. The car will replace his 2000 SAAB that constantly breaks down, Turner told DeGeneres.

Subscribe To Melissa McCarthy Comedies Top Redbox's 10 Most Rented Movies Of 2013 List Updates
I've already subscribed
If Redbox were a contest, Melissa McCarthy would be the winner of 2013. McCarthy is the common denominator among the top two movies on Redbox's Top 10 movie rentals of 2013. Identity Thief and The Heat top the list, with World War Z and Flight coming in third and fourth respectively. Both White House thrillers Olympus Has Fallen and White House Down made the cut as well. See which one came out on top!
These are Redbox's most overall rented movies of the year, according to their stats:
1. Identity Thief
It's worth noting before we comment further, per Redbox's site, the 2013 Redbox Movie Awards are based on a actual rental data from January 1 through December 8. Movies with less than 25 weeks of actual rental data include projected rentals into 2014.
As mentioned, Melissa McCarthy has proven to be a hot ticket for rentals, as two of her comedies topped the list; Identity Thief and The Heat. Of course, one could argue that Ryan Reynolds is a contributing factor here. He's not in either movie, but he's the Kevin-Bacon link between The Heat's Sandra Bullock (The Proposal) and Identity Thief's Jason Bateman (The Change-Up). I'm not saying it'd be a good argument, but if you wanted to make a case — preferably using graphs including a map of Alaska and some kind of chart breaking down all of the existing body-switching comedies — I'd be willing to hear you out. In the meantime, let's hear it for Melissa McCarthy for being a great quirky wildcard character in a buddy comedy. It's clearly a winning formula.
As for the men, Redbox says Bruce Willis (Red 2, G.I. Joe: Retaliation, A Good Day To Die Hard) tops the list of most-rented actors. Perhaps it's the three movies that managed to push Willis above Jamie Foxx, who starred in Django Unchained and White House Down, both of which are on the Top 10. Kevin James also managed to get two movies on the list, with Grown Ups 2 and Here Comes the Boom. And then there's Morgan Freeman, who's in both Olympus Has Fallen and Now You See Me.
Redbox included some other noteworthy milestones about this year's rentals, which demonstrate continued interest in Avengers, as well as the fast demand for Olympus Has Fallen:
Olympus Has Fallen was the fastest movie to surpass one million rentals, in just three days; Now You See Me stayed in the daily top 10 longer than any other title, at 63 days; World War Z was the top-renting Blu-ray Disc®; and The Imposter was the top-renting documentary. The most streamed title on Redbox Instant by Verizon was Marvel's The Avengers.
I'm thinking Marvel's The Avengers had a good year for streaming this year, as the 2012 super-hero film is also available on Netflix and Amazon Prime.

All indicators point to roaring growth in Spain's wind market over the first nine months of 2004. More than 840 MW has been brought online, with a further 1700 MW building (table next page). By the end of the year, Spain is on course to have installed or be completing construction of more than 2500 MW of new wind stations, bringing cumulative capacity to 8750 MW, nearly 40% up on the total last year and not far behind that achieved by Germany in 2003, the most active market until now.
Two companies say that between them they have connected or started construction on nearly 1000 MW this year. Utility Iberdrola lays claim to over 500 MW, while wind project developer Corporación Energía Hidroeléctrica de Navarra (EHN) puts its activity since January at 436 MW. At least four wind clusters in excess of 100 MW are being built by others. Elecnor is installing its 128 MW Faro-Farelo project in Galicia, using Ecotècnia 1.65 MW turbines. Sinae has started on its 128 MW Campollano project in Castile La Mancha, using Gamesa Eólica 850 kW machines. In Aragón, Gamesa is working on its Fuendetodos-Entredicho cluster using its own technology. And in the small Andalucian district of Tarifa, three developers are currently building 151 MW.
As yet it is still too early to tell whether the boost in activity is the beginning of several years of steady sector growth, or whether Spain is experiencing a one-off rush with the realisation of a wave of project development started at the beginning of the Spanish wind boom in the late 1990s.
Positive tariff
Spain's new wind tariff regulation, rubber stamped in March this year, is already producing positive results, according to national wind association Plataforma Eólica Empresarial (PEE). The regulation provides for secure earnings over the full life cycle of a wind power plant (Windpower Monthly, April 2004). Under the old rules, tariff targets were revised every four years. Although projects currently building have been in the processing chain for at least four years -- often much longer -- PEE says the new regulation is now speeding up the final stage of financing. "The banks, which put up 80% of plant investment, are now more relaxed about wind. They are reacting more positively to permits already lined up. And new building permits will have less trouble landing finance agreements," says PEE's Alberto Ceña.
"The key to future growth lies in central government support, national grid dynamics and regional grid absorption capacity," says Ceña. The right action is needed on all three fronts for the wind market in Spain to maintain current growth rates.
Healthy signs
A new government came into office in March 2004 headed by the labour Partido Socialista Obrero de España (PSOE). Renewables and clean air policy form a major part of its political agenda. Over the summer, the new political head of energy efficiency agency Instituto para la Diversificación y Ahorro de la Energía (IDAE) revealed government intentions of raising Spain's wind target from 13,000 MW by 2011 to 20,000 MW by the same year. There is still no ministerial confirmation of the new target.
The government's short track record so far looks promising, however. PSOE has come up with a fully endorsed national allocation plan for CO2 emissions, meeting an EU directive that its predecessor had woefully failed to do. It has also ditched the former Conservative government's EUR 4.2 billion water plan, which aimed to transfer northern river water over 920 kilometres to Spain's dry east coast regions, to the horror of environmentalists. PSOE's EUR 3.8 billion alternative involves building 11 desalination plants in these dry areas. PSOE promises the estimated 0.8 % increase in electricity demand from desalination will be met by renewable energy sources, wherever possible, and mainly from wind power.
"If political backing from the central government continues, it will be a great help in overcoming obstacles to wind. Most of all, it will help define the real limits of integrating wind power into grid dynamics," explains Ceña. PEE has now started a grid study with grid operator Red Eléctrica de España, (REE) to define these limits.
Upping the target
Iberdrola's Angeles Santamaria points out that the previous government's 13,000 MW wind target was a technical limit based on a report by REE, which controversially considered that to be a limit on what the grid could take of variable wind power without endangering system security and supply guarantees. Santamaria says the report was from before the new tariff regulation's requirement that from 2005 all wind operators are to schedule daily generation 24 hours ahead of production. Penalties incurred for producing above or below schedules are aimed at making wind production more predictable for REE.
Iberdrola's renewables director, Pedro Barrioso, estimates the new regulation should raise the bar to at least 18,000 MW. With today's regional targets aiming for more than 24,000 MW of wind power in Spain, however, building more transmission and upgrading local grids remains a national priority if Spain is to fulfil its political ambitions for greening its electricity supply.
Few of Spain's wind plant operators have so far moved over to the new regulation's option of selling their generation into the wholesale pool market, despite the greater earning opportunities offered (Windpower Monthly, May 2004). Instead, they are sticking to a fixed-tariff alternative, which obliges them to schedule output and risk penalties for getting it wrong. "Mainly a case of better the devil you know," says Ceña. PEE expects a mass move to the wholesale market soon, however. It says the delay is because producers are still grappling with the administrative complexities of the market. "Already, a large number of operators have applied for rights to produce on the market," says Ceña.
At the same time, developer-turbine manufacturer Gamesa has set up a new electricity market agency company called Wind to Market. While many smaller wind operators claim to have been invited to aggregate and sell production on the pool through Wind to Market, Gamesa has not yet publicly announced its new outfit.
Grid locks and keys
Political will and improved grid integration aside, the capacity of regional power lines remains a key factor. Strong development in Valencia and Galicia seems likely, but concerted action on grid improvements is needed if promises are to be met elsewhere, especially in the central regions of Castile-La Mancha and Castile and León, in the sprawling region of Andalucia in the far south, and Catalonia in the far north-east. Even if extensive grid planning in these regions can open the way to connection of large amounts of new capacity, REE is going to need some convincing that it can take it all on board and maintain security of supply. All eyes are now on the central government to see if it can come up with the means of persuasion.
Galicia's powerful wind development performance has gone hand-in-hand with the region's grid improvements and is perhaps the best illustration of what good grid planning can do for Spain. In the first eight months of the year, more than 600 MW has either been connected in Galicia, which lies north of Portugal, or is under construction, confirms the regional government, bringing the total to 1649 MW. "The vast bulk of Galicia's project plans are ripe for development and building responds rapidly to new grid openings," says Manuel Pazo of Galicia's regional wind association Asociación Eólica Gallega (EGA). One EUR 36 million grid improvement agreement for the Finisterre area, signed in 1997, is now complete, he says. Another one, for the Lugo area involving another EUR 36 million is 40% realised, with completion scheduled for 2006, says Pazo. EGA thinks the new infrastructure will allow Galicia to maintain strong growth and to meet its objective for 4000 MW of wind in two or three years. "Galicia's wind target could easily be raised to 6000 MW," says Pazo.
A more local illustration of good planning is the 400 MW grid improvement agreement for Tarifa in the far south, signed in 2002 between a group of wind project developers and REE. Over the last three years, development in this once pioneering wind region has crawled. But this year, building has started on 175 MW, according to the regional government. New regional regulation is now forcing developers elsewhere in Andalucia to emulate the Tarifa model so they can reach the government's 2400 MW wind objective. Already, agreements in two areas covering the provinces of Huelva and Almería have established priorities for the connection of projects now ready to build with a combined capacity of around 800 MW. The only delays now involve building and financing new power lines -- a process which took about two years in Tarifa. Three other areas in Andalucia -- Málaga, Cádiz and Granada -- are now negotiating priorities for a combined total of 1650 MW.
In the far north-east of Spain, a grid plan for the region of Aragón in 2001 to connect 1500 MW is ticking over. Wind stations building and connected over the first nine months this year have a combined capacity of 291 MW. "Progress has been slower than expected mainly due to administrative bottlenecks," says Vicky Planillo of regional association Asociación Eólica de Aragón.
Next door to the east in Catalonia, installed capacity has stood at a poor 87 MW for nearly two years, due to refusals to connect more wind power to the grid. The region remains way off its 3000 MW objective. In contrast, tiny Navarra, Aragón's western neighbour, is a wind power leader with more than 40% of its electricity demand being met by wind. It has 776 MW online and a further 25 MW building. Navarra is pushing close to its self-imposed cap, set at 900 MW due to environmental and grid restrictions.
Central planning
The governments of Spain's two huge central regions, Castile la Mancha and Castile and Leon, are keen to get the wind industry involved in planning -- and paying for -- the necessary transmission and grid upgrades. To meet its 4000 MW wind target, Castile la Mancha, already with 1250 MW turning, is dependent largely on completion of a new power line, financed by wind developers, across the provinces of Guadalajara and Ciudad Real. Iberdrola says building on the line has begun, but it will likely take many months to complete. Most of the grid capacity still available has been taken up by the 323 MW now under construction.
pooling resources
Castile and León has a substantial high voltage network, but the regional government is trying to minimise the number of new lines feeding into it. Wind project developers are being called upon to pool resources in local groupings. This year, 292 MW has been connected and 352 MW is building. "But now there is a dramatic slowdown, with licenses granted for just 60 MW since January," says Eugenio Garcia of the Castilla y León wind association. His worries may be short lived. The government is talking about raising the regional limit from 4000 MW to 6000 MW. Today, a little more than 1200 MW is turning in Castile and Leon.
In Valencia, there are grounds for optimism. The 2242 MW development concession granted by the regional government to five groups of prospective operators is now ready to start building in this eastern region. Developers have been working jointly on grid reinforcement lines over the past 18 months. EHN, the driving force behind a group with a 793 MW concession, says it expects to start putting up its first turbines by December.
Lastly, Spain's islands in the Mediterranean and off the north-west coast of Africa are not about to be left out. This year, Gamesa has put up 3 MW in the Balearic Islands at Es Milá, while Dutch utility Nuon's Spanish wind subsidiary, DESA, is installing 6 MW on the Canary Island of Tenerife, using Gamesa 850 kW machines.

Press Release :
Zenescope Entertainment Give Fans What They WANTED
Feb, 2013 — Zenescope Entertainment has announced plans for a follow up mini-series to 2012's critically acclaimed hit series Grimm Fairy Tales' ROBYN HOOD. The new series entitled ROBYN HOOD: WANTED will hit shelves May 2013. The original Robyn Hood mini-series was announced last summer to a slew of excited fans, and the press took notice as well. After great reviews and fan support, the iconic new character brought Zenescope into the spotlight with industry-leading cosplayer, Jessica Nigri, portraying the character at New York Comic Con, and Wired.com doing featured interviews and retrospectives on the popular comic.
Robyn Hood: Wanted picks up shortly after the first series ended. Robyn has found her way out of the realm of Myst and back into the modern world. Her unwavering pursuit of justice has taught her enemies not to cross her, and has shown her friends a new level of loyalty.
Series writer Pat Shand had this to say:
"I'm thrilled to return to this character. With "Wanted," we are upping the stakes, introducing some new major threats, and really getting into what makes Robyn tick. I remember describing the series as "Veronica Mars" meets "Game of Thrones," and I think that is truer in this sequel than ever before. Everything is on the line this time around. We're going to see Robyn in a whole new situation which will redefine her in ways that readers will have never imagined."
Robyn Hood: Wanted will be available for order in Diamond's March Previews on shelves next week.
For those who may have missed its original release, the original Robyn Hood mini-series trade paperback will be available on store shelves February 27, 2013.
Zenescope has been making some major announcements as of late, with the recent announcement of their comic event UNLEASHED, and their extensive convention schedule.
Fans of Zenescope can get their hands on a limited edition promotional poster for Robyn Hood WANTED at their convention booths throughout March. For more information, visit Zenescope's website at www.zenescope.com or its Facebook page at www.facebook.com/Zenescope.
Zenescope Entertainment was founded by Joe Brusha and Ralph Tedesco in 2005, and has quickly grown into one of the top comic book and graphic novel publishing companies in the world. Zenescope's Grimm Fairy Tales and subsequent spinoff series such as Escape From Wonderland, Neverland and The Piper, which put a dark twist on classic fables, are some of the best-selling and longest-running original independent comic books on shelves today. Zenescope's licensed titles include the on-going, critically acclaimed Charmed series, based on the long-running popular television series, as well as Se7en and Final Destination, based on New Line Cinema's successful film franchises.

Sunlit sulfur breathed life into nickel
An international team of geologists have resolved a 30-year debate on how sulfur-rich ores that blanket Western Australia formed billions of years ago, when there was little sulfur around.
The research, led by geologists Professor Mark Barley of the University of Western Australia and Assistant Professor Andrey Bekker of the University of Manitoba, Canada, appears in the journal Science.
Western Australia hosts some of the world's most important nickel-iron deposits, used for steel manufacturing, among other industries.
Many of these nickel-iron ores appear in 2.9 to 1.8-billion year old rocks called komatiites, which formed from very hot magma ejected from deep within the earth.
While sulfur plays an important role in concentrating nickel, the nickel-iron ores formed at a time when the interior of the earth and the ocean was relatively sulfur-poor.
"The question is: where did the sulfur come from?" says Barley.
Previous theories had suggested that the erupting magma may have either brought the sulfur up from the mantle or mixed with sulfur-rich rocks on the sea floor, but it turns out the story is more complex.
Rays of sunshine
The team analysed the composition of different isotopes of the sulfur and iron within the ore and in adjacent 2.7 billion year old rocks from Australia and Canada.
They found that most of the sulfur in the ore came from volcanic gases that were lifted high into the atmosphere. This sulfur reacted with ultraviolet (UV) light from the sun, changing the relative concentration of the particles and then deposited on the deep ocean floor.
The UV-altered sulfur in the sediments eventually mixed with molten magma to produce the nickel-iron ore found today.
Barley says the results are significant for not only understanding early earth systems, but also for pinpointing new nickel-iron deposits.
"We have unambiguously worked out where the sulfur in the komatiites came from, solving a debate that has been going on for 30 years," he says.
"It shows that to get really big enrichments of metals you often need very complex interactions of different parts of the earth's systems."
Geologist Professor Ray Cas of Monash University in Melbourne says it is a significant finding because it clarifies the origin of the deposits, which he points out are the world's major source of nickel.
"It's giving us a better understanding of the dynamics and relationship between these very exotic old magma types, and clarifies that the sulfur comes from older volcanics with massive sulfide components, which makes a lot of sense," he says.
Cas says, in terms of exploration potential, the research highlights that komatiites associated with particular volcanic rocks are obviously good places to look for other nickel deposits.
"But you still need to know the location of the system in the first place."

Why doesn't EPA protect the environment?
Last month, we both received the Environmental Protection Agency's Climate Protection Award. The EPA awards are meant to encourage individuals and institutions leading the fight against global warming, which has emerged as the greatest threat to planetary security. Selected by an international panel of judges, our fellow awardees included the Rev. Sally Bingham, a leader in the faith community's efforts to address global warming; Zhou Dadi, director of China's Energy Efficiency Research Institute; and Ron Sims, who has made King County, Wash., a leader in climate action. But while we're grateful, something about this award troubles us. Why isn't the EPA itself in this fight? The sad fact is that under its current leadership, the EPA could not qualify for its own award. That's right: We have just won a climate award from an agency that had to be sued to act on climate change. For six years, the EPA's current leadership has denied that it has any power to curb global warming pollution. It took a ruling by the Supreme Court to set the EPA straight that carbon dioxide is an air pollutant and that the EPA has always had the power to curb global warming pollution under the Clean Air Act. Why was it necessary for a broad coalition of states, cities, environmental organizations and friends of the court, to take EPA administrator Stephen Johnson to the Supreme Court on such a blindingly obvious question?When a Senate panel asked Johnson when he would carry out the Supreme Court ruling, he rejected any timetable. "I'm not going to be forced into making a snap decision," Johnson told reporters.A snap decision? In President Bush's first year in office, he asked the National Academy of Science for advice, and the nation's leading scientists told him global warming was real and caused by man-made pollution. This year, the world's scientific experts sounded even louder alarm bells, reporting that the role of heat-trapping pollution is "unequivocal," that the impacts are already being felt, and that they will fall most heavily on poor nations and poor communities within rich nations.Meanwhile, the EPA administrator is not only dragging his feet, but is also standing in the way of states that want to act. For more than 40 years, California has taken the leadership role in curbing motor-vehicle emissions. Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has asked Johnson for what is usually a routine waiver allowing California to set new standards for vehicles' global warming emissions. The state's new standards would cut those emissions by 30 percent over the next eight years. Thirteen other states are ready to follow California's lead. But the EPA's Johnson has let the governor's request sit on his desk for more than a year. Gov. Schwarzenegger said "the clock is ticking," and promised to go to back to court if he doesn't get action.It's because of this inaction that we have signed a joint statement, along with other individual award winners, calling on the EPA to act on climate change, and in particular to grant California's waiver request and let states create as big a market as possible for low-emission cars and trucks. You can read the statement at http://www.nrdc.org/media/2007/070501.asp.Back where we come from, in the mountain West, our forests are being ravaged by spruce beetles as a result of prolonged drought and warmer winters. Long-term trends show less rain and, especially, less snow. Spring runoff is happening earlier and earlier. As skiers, we can relate to the new saying out here: "April is the new May." It adds up to a threat that cannot wait any longer for action.The EPA has hundreds of committed employees who want to get to work to solve the climate problem. Tens of thousands of U.S. autoworkers are ready to meet the growing demand for hybrids and other low-emission vehicles. Now, the Supreme Court has given Johnson a remarkable second chance to make the right decision.We'd be the first to nominate him for next year's award if he does.The writers are contributors to Writers on the Range, a service of High Country News (hcn.org).

Les Blondins is above all a wine to be enjoyed with good friends.
We share a passion for the Côte Roannaise with the Troisgros family. Based in Roanne, it has been the bearer of Michelin stars across generations. Every year since 1978 we have selected a cuvée together from old vines : The cuvée Troisgros.In 1992, Pierre Troisgros and Robert Sérol decided to extend this initiative by planting a vineyard together. The location that was chosen is ideal for vine growing : a steep hillside of 1.9 hectares with full southern exposure. For Gamay grapes, this is nothing less than a little paradise in the middle of the Côte Roannaise.Since the beginning, all the grapes from the hill have been vinified in a single cuvée of red AOC Côte Roannaise: Les Blondins. Les Blondins is nothing less than a history of friendship connecting a winemaker and a great chef. It also embodies the pleasure to create and share a wine that is in the image of its terroir. It's a Côte Roannaise to be shared between good friends, with a fruity and drinkable nature.

Tonight I did something way different. I've manipulated a painting for a Photoshop contest requiring that you combine two paintings into one. I used William Adolphe Bouguereau's "The Curtsey" and Gottfried Helnwein's "The Disasters of War". I chose them because I wanted to use extreme opposite type art. I'm not really pleased with the results but thought I'd post it anyhow. Don't worry folks; I'm not changing my style. I love caricatures and will continue to do them. I have posted the source paintings below. This just isn't my thing so I'll be back to caricatures tomorrow. BTW, this piece has been featured on Bouguereau.net.

I hope you enjoyed. Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Should you build mobile applications in native code or deploy them using Web technologies such as HTML and JavaScript? Developers have long been divided.
Steve Jobs originally suggested iPhone developers would be able to deploy any applications they needed through the device's built-in browser, but that was before Apple saw the light and launched its industry-leading iTunes App Store.
[ Keep current on the key software development news and insights with infoworld's Developer World newsletter. | Stay up to date on the latest security developments with our Security Central newsletter. ]
Since then, even established websites have often chosen to deliver their content to mobile devices using native apps, rather than trying to shoehorn it into mobile browsers. Despite the improvements introduced in HTML5, many developers feel Web technologies are still inadequate for the unique needs of smartphones and tablets.
If that's true, it's time for a rethink of how online information services are developed and deployed. In the past, developers built websites first, then adapted the same content for mobile apps. But in today's market, where mobile devices are increasingly the primary means by which users interact with online content, that approach is arguably backward.
What's needed is an evolution in mobile development, similar to what we saw in the early days of Web applications. The first enterprise Web apps did little more than screen-scrape legacy mainframe output and pretty it up for the browser. But as browser-based computing became the norm, application logic moved off the mainframe, and HTML output became the primary target. Mobile applications are undergoing the same shift. The next generation of information services will treat desktop browsers and mobile app clients as equal citizens, and the same application logic will serve content to both.
Equally important, this transition comes at the same time as another significant sea change in the IT industry, which is the move toward cloud computing. As platform-as-a-service (PaaS) offerings mature, it makes less and less sense for information service providers to host application logic on their own private infrastructures.
Linking devices to the cloud
For application developers, managing both of these migrations at once can be a daunting task. Fortunately, platform vendors are already offering tools to make the transition to hybrid Web/mobile apps as painless as possible.
At the recent Google I/O developer conference in San Francisco, the search giant unveiled a new beta version of the Google Plug-in for Eclipse (GPE), a set of tools that allow developers to create, test, and upload applications for Google's App Engine cloud platform, all from within the Eclipse IDE for Java.
Previous versions of GPE enabled developers to build App Engine applications with integrated support for Google Web Toolkit (GWT), a framework for creating sophisticated Web-based UIs. The new GPE 2.4 beta adds support for Android apps. In effect, developers can build application logic for App Engine, then simultaneously generate I/O code for Web and mobile clients.

SPRINGDALE, Utah — There comes a moment when you step backward off a cliff, clinging to a rope the width of your pinkie, and ask yourself, "Why am I doing this?"
It's inevitable. Fear of heights (and its close cousin, fear of falling) is as deeply ingrained in most of us as fear of sharks or snakes. Sometimes, though, confronting these fears is the first step to discovering a new world — a coral reef, the Amazon rainforest or the convoluted landscape of southern Utah, near Zion National Park, revealed through the fast-growing sport of canyoneering.
"Canyoneering opens up new doors of exploration," said Jonathan Zambella, a veteran climber who started Zion Adventure Co. in 1996 in Springdale. "It's a real adventure that real people — people with desk jobs, who work in grocery stores, who are moms and dads or children — can enjoy."
Unlike climbing, which typically requires working one's way up, canyoneering involves working your way down an often-narrow canyon using a variety of techniques, including rappelling, scrambling and sometimes even wading or swimming (the narrow canyons can hide deep pools). By following the course carved by millions of years of water flow, you'll descend to where the canyon opens, on level terrain.
"If you've hiked the Grand Canyon," said Bill Westerhoff (who, along with Kim Molyneux, guided our group of six through the day's expedition), "you've been canyoneering."
Well, not exactly. Our dawn-to-dusk day trip was more technical than trail hiking and a little scarier. But it was a revelation: a chance to explore hidden corners of the planet that, without canyoneering skills, would be inaccessible.
The purple sky was still flecked with stars when we met at Zion Adventure Co. at 6 a.m., collected our gear and set off in two beefy SUVs. Our destination was Birch Hollow, a local favorite recommended by Zambella. We would take both cars to Orderville Corral, where the canyon transit ends, drop one off, then squeeze into the other and drive back to the entrance point.
"Birch Hollow has always been one of my favorite canyons in the Zion area because it's secluded, and slightly more off the radar than a lot of the others," Bill, an affable outdoorsman who vaguely reminded me of Bill Murray, said as we bumped along North Fork Road. "It's a very picturesque canyon; just a whole lot of fun."
Commercial canyoneering isn't allowed in Zion; we were on a dirt road just east of the national park. Most of the other pickups we passed carried hunters gunning for mule deer. The road was lined with forest. After a few miles, we pulled off at the trailhead. It was late October, cold enough to frost our breath. But the sun would warm things up — eventually.
I would never have guessed that a red rock slot canyon penetrated this area. But Utah is an origami state, folded in ways one can hardly imagine. In the past, the best canyons were often discovered haphazardly; today, Google Earth and Google Maps have made finding these labyrinthine channels much easier. There are scores, possibly hundreds of navigable canyons in the Zion area; the Canyoneering USA website (www.canyoneeringusa.com) describes no fewer than 32, with names such as Das Boot and Fat Man's Misery.
"This is one of the more risky activities we'll be doing today," said Bill as my friends and I hiked along a precarious trail toward the first of our 10 descents that would take us into and through Birch Hollow. "You can slip and fall, or scrape yourself on a log or a rock, whereas later, when you're hanging on a rope, you really can't fall very far."
But it certainly seemed as though you could. We reached our first rappel, a broad cliff about 135 feet high. I peered over the edge. Vertiginous as it seemed, it was just a teaser; we were not yet at the slot canyon.
Under the supervision of Bill and Kim, we set up our gear, clipped on our harnesses and — one by one, with a fast grip on the rope — began stepping backward, very slowly, over the cliff. The idea isn't to "hang" on the rope and get lowered to the bottom. You want to walk down, staying perpendicular to the rock — even if that means walking down the cliff face itself, with your body parallel to the ground.
During my descent I glanced over my shoulder. The ground seemed very far away. But climbing rope is strong — very strong. This one tested for 4,000 pounds. I weigh 170; even I had to admit that was reasonably within the margin of safety.
As the day progressed, the canyon swallowed us up. Our rappels became less exposed and more thrilling. The occasional trees were aflame with autumn colors and the sky a band of gem-like blue above the towering walls. We made long descents down chutes of sculpted sandstone, our ropes lashed to time-tested stumps or fixed anchors. Altogether, we would descend more than 1,000 feet — half of it by rope.
There's a fair amount of gear involved in canyoneering — helmets, harnesses, carabiners and metal loops called "piranas" that help to control the speed of your descent — but everything fits together simply. Once you've mastered a couple of basic knots, setting up each rappel becomes second nature. But you always double-check; your life depends on it.
Both Bill and the quieter Kim were excellent guides, relishing our learning curve. "The best teachers challenge you," Kim said, "and get you excited."
"Is this knot good?" one friend asked before making a 100-foot rappel down a vertical, throat-like wash.
"You tell me," Bill said with a grin. He would double-check, of course, but his technique was meant to spur our self-reliance. At first, we bristled at such comments. But as our skills sharpened, we became more confident and needed much less hand-holding.
As we journeyed deeper into the canyon, the sport's appeal continued to grow on us. We were in a beautiful, remote place that could be seen only this way: from the inside out. I was reminded of that classic sci-fi movie "Fantastic Voyage," in which a team of scientists is reduced to corpuscle-size and travels through the human bloodstream.
On the ninth rappel, we saw Birch Hollow's best-known landmark. Descending the slick, 60-foot canyon face, we beheld a round, Mini Cooper-sized chockstone wedged between the walls above and to our left. Once we'd all reached the bottom, we stared up at the boulder — which clearly wasn't going anywhere. Inevitably, though, the sight brought up images from the film "127 Hours." Bill sensed our misgivings.
"How common was Aron Ralston's accident? To knock over a boulder, have it fall and land on you, trapping your arm?" Bill shook his head. "It was a complete fluke. The main thing Ralston did wrong — and he'll be the first to admit it — was to head out without letting anyone know where he was going. So no one knew where to look for him if something should happen — which it obviously did."
One thing that had emerged during the day — as dramatic as the otherworldly scenery — was how well we had worked together as a team.
"This is why I typically prefer canyoneering to climbing," Bill said as we set up for our final rappel. "Climbing is usually one person versus the rock, while in canyoneering, everybody uses teamwork to get through whatever obstacles the canyon throws at us."
It was nearly sunset when we completed our final rappel and hiked out of Birch Hollow toward Orderville Corral and our waiting SUV. Any qualms I'd had about dangling from a rope 100 feet off the lip of a sheer red rock wall had been dispelled and replaced by mental calculations about how soon I might return.
A bright gibbous moon hung over the Kolob Plateau as we tossed our helmets and harnesses into the back of the truck. It's funny, how even one day of canyoneering can transform the way one perceives a landscape. As I stared at the moon through my binoculars, it looked strangely inviting — a place with a lot of unexplored canyons.

Nestled on the southern shore of the Maumee River, Perrysburg is truly at the crossroads of America. It offers the lifestyle of a small town with the amenities of a larger city, and has been rated as one of the best hometowns by Ohio Magazine in addition its standing as one of the 10 best towns in the country to raise a family. Perrysburg has done a great job of blending its history with the current times. It is one of only two towns (with Washington D.C.) in the U.S. to be planned and mapped out by the Federal government. This is why Perrysburg has four different streets with Boundary in their names (North, South, East, and West).
There is a wonderful downtown area with a blend of stores, restaurants, and offices. The downtown area is also surrounded by neighborhoods of beautiful and historic homes.
Fort Meigs, the largest wooden-walled fort in North America, serves as a reminder of our past and as an education establishment to students and adults from all areas. The Perrysburg School System is consistently rated by the state of Ohio as "excellent" and has received an Excellent with Distinction rating, the highest possible.
Perrysburg was one of only five districts to receive this honor in Lucas and Wood counties.
Way Public Library has been nationally recognized as a top library and has received numerous awards over the years. It recently ranked 10th out of 1,773 libraries in its service category. Perrysburg boasts many parks and recreational areas. The recreational division offers summer programs and camps for children of all ages. Municipal Park has a wonderful pool that is used for open swims as well as water aerobics, diving, and swimming lessons. The Fort Meigs YMCA offers many options for community members as well, from swimming and working out to personal enrichment opportunities. Levis Commons, which opened in October 2004, is an open air lifestyle center that includes rental and owner-occupied housing, retailers, office space, a movie theater, restaurants, and a Hilton hotel. It is located next the world headquarters for Owens-Illinois, the world's largest manufacturer of glass containers.
Green energy is a growing industry, and Perrysburg Township houses the largest of the solar panel manufacturing companies. First Solar is located in Perrysburg Township, and has brought hundreds of great paying jobs to the area. Along with other local companies, First Solar is trying to help lead the way in the transformation from an auto and glass manufacturing region to a green zone. Hopefully, you can see why Perrysburg's slogan is "Embracing the past. Poised for the future." From its rich history to the vision of what can be, Perrysburg is a unique blend that you won't want to miss!

After an accumulated 34 days, including a bye week, the University of Louisville Cardinals returned to Papa John's Cardinal Stadium for a homecoming clash with the University of South Florida Bulls. Nail biters don't come much closer than this. On the line, a perfect record in the Big East and for the season. The Cards scraped by with a 27-25 win.
USF started fast on its first drive, playing the hurry up that Louisville has seen all season and at one point, they caught the defense napping for a big gain. But, as they have all season, after gaining chunks of yardage, the drive stalled with a field goal. The Bulls didn't score again in the first half thanks in part to two sacks on quarterback B. J. Daniels. The defensive pressure, inspired by the Pitt game, started with intensity, even though they kept getting beaten at the point of attack and always between the tackles.
The Cards played a patient game on offense in the first half. Bridgewater didn't misfire on any of his 11 passes while gaining 48 yards on the ground. His backfield tandem of Jeremy Wright and Senorise Perry each scored touchdowns in the half.
USF came out like gangbusters in the second half, moving those big chunks of yardage and scoring touchdowns because the Cards couldn't clog the middle, leading to significant gains.
Louisville did come up with a big goal line stand with the Bulls on the six inch line to ignite their play. On that drive, Jermaine Reve was charged with a 15 yard penalty for an illegal hit that was roundly booed by the Cardinal faithful. That penalty got the crowd back into the game.
South Florida made it close with a touchdown drive and a two point conversion with 8 minutes to play. That made it Cardinal gut check time but they went 3 and out. The punt afterward went nowhere and had a 5 yard penalty tacked on for an illegal formation. Momentum resided on the USF sideline after a brief visit to the Louisville defense.
A disputed pass interference penalty on Adrian Bushell had Coach Charlie Strong nearly blowing a gasket either because at the call or at his team. USF scored on that drive to take the lead 25-21 but left 3 minutes for Bridgewater to work with. With the hurry up in effect, and battling more penalties the Cards continued their march. UofL caught a break when the Bulls hit Bridgewater out of bounds and he made them pay on an 11 yard TD pass to Eli Rogers. A blocked PAT kept the score to within 2.
To leave your fate in the hands of this defense is nerve wracking with another penalty keeping the Bulls in the game, particularly since they only needed to get into field goal range for the win. However, in the end, USF had to try a Hail Mary with 2 seconds left and Bushell intercepted the pass to preserve the Cardinal victory.
Louisville has work to do this week, though. Bridgewater outrushed both Wright and Perry, finishing the game with 74 yards on the ground. That shouldn't happen with the strong Cardinal backfield. And after 7 games, the defense still needs work.
Next up for the Cards is a Friday night prime time date with Cincinnati who suffered an upset loss to Toledo 29-23. Does Louisville get a demoralized opponent or will they be raging from the setback and set their sights on getting revenge?

I was so afraid of the next step (being IVF) that we took a year off. I think I was in a little shock that we would have to go to that level. I always thought that the medications would work. Anyway, after a year break, we started IVF and were successful on our first attempt. We are now 7 weeks pregnant. I know how scary the "next step" is, but honestly, I wish we hadn't taken that year off. The IVF experience was great for us and went by so fast. So talk with your DH, and if you both want this, go for it!

I am a certified foodie, if you're following me on instagram you will know that I posts a lot of food. It's either food from outside or food that I cook at home. Every once in a while, I get into the mood on preparing or cooking a good meal, serve it with my beautiful plates, and eat it very fast. Because cooking takes so much time than eating and washing dishes after.
I usually cook pasta, because it is very easy to make. I am a nursing graduate but I am also trying hard chef. Just by googling, I managed to make this plating. Yes I am the one who made this! I was inspired by some food blogger, food enthusiasts on instagram, and most of all food pictures from Pinterest and pepper.ph where everything looks so perfect and yummy. Aside from being a style and fashion blogging, I also want to be a food stylist like Mylene Chung. Maybe in the future, I will have a very nice kitchen in my own house with a cupboard full of pretty and signature plates.
Just don't forget to always eat and drink in style. Enjoy you summer everyone! :)
