Initial Access opened on 19 January 2007, as a space to present exhibitions from Frank Cohen's internationally important collection of contemporary art. It is sited on the outskirts of the millennium city of Wolverhampton, in two refurbished warehouses that provide 10,000 sq feet of exhibition space. Initial Access presents different aspects of the Collection in a series of curated exhibitions. The programme is designed to mount shows of new acquisitions to the collection, explore themes among works that may not have been seen before and give the public an opportunity to see more of the collection currently in store.

Even with recent rainfall some significant Texas cotton production regions remain dry, in either extreme or exceptional drought status, according to a Texas AgriLife Extension service expert.
Dr. Gaylon Morgan, AgriLife Extension statewide cotton specialist, College Station, says planting intentions, as announced recently by the national cotton council, may well hold up, but harvested acres could be another story if the drought doesn't let up.
He says conditions across the state are "a mixed bag." The Rolling Plains, South Plains and the Panhandle remain in either extreme or exceptional drought."
For the latest on southwest agriculture, please check out Southwest Farm Press Daily and receive the latest news right to your inbox.
Though recent rains improved the cotton outlook for some regions, it's still a "mixed bag" for the state overall, according to a Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service expert.
The March predictions by the National Cotton Council were of a double-digit percentage increase in plantings over 2013, and those still hold water, said However, Morgan noted that planted acres do not always equate to harvestable acres during prolonged drought. But rains have greatly improved things for the time being in South Texas, Central Texas, east of Interstate 35, and the Blacklands, Morgan noted.
There have been challenges throughout the state.

Looking to hit/play outside today in white bear lake, Vadnais heights...
4.0 or better, get in touch with me asap, it's beautiful outside!!!
Looking to hit today around noon or so any takers I live in Eagan
Looking for some tennis partners in the Woodbury, MN area. I like to play on weekends, preferably on Sunday. Need to get out this summer and have some fun on the courts.
Haven't played in about ten years--used to be pretty good though (in my younger days). Would like to start playing/hitting again for fun and exercise. I am 56--maybe some folks in my age group would like to hit/play for fun. I prefer to play in the St. Paul Mac-Groveland and/or Highland Park area.

So what am I referring to? Well unless you've been following me on Facebook or on my other social media channels, you would have missed the latest kerfuffle for which I take full responsibility. I'm not going to rehash it all right here and now. Let's just say you take a lot of frustration, too little time, a passion for one's profession and hobby, a snarky comment about a bug and then stir it up on social media. You know this recipe by now - a recipe for disaster and a very ugly entree.
I don't want to discuss the issues right now because I am again short on time but there are still many issues in the genealogy community about which I am passionate. And I need to recognize the same passion in others, even on the other side of the table. This is a good reason to get back to posting at my personal blog here - talk about issues like source citations, welcoming those new to the genealogy community, obtaining my CG, etc. For the Reader's Digest version (and it will make more sense to those who've been playing at home) here goes:
- I stepped in it big time when I made a comment about a specific person and their recent blog post but it appeared as if I were targeting all of those with the Certified Genealogist credential. The comment was snarky, rude and not respectful. I apologize for that, I've apologized to the specific person and I've apologized to several other people so far today.
- I am a big fan of the Board for Certification of Genealogists and those who've obtained the CG credential. It is a tough one to earn and encompasses quite a bit of work. I hope to be up to the task and soon. It is on my resolution list for 2012 to be completed by the end of 2013.
- I let many things roll off my back (you'd be surprised what I get in my email on a weekly basis) and usually just consider the source. But a conversation about source citations is one that I just can't leave alone. I'm willing to pick up the thread probably next week over at GeneaBloggers on the Open Thread Thursday posts. More short version: I think everyone should cite their sources, but the choice to post them in a blog post is personal and it does suffice to say, "Please contact me for source citation information."
I do want dialog and I want it to be constructive and respectful. So stay tuned and we'll have a new year filled with topics about genealogy. Don't be surprised if I post more personal and opinionated items here on my personal genealogy blog rather than at GeneaBloggers where I try to post more community-related items. Either way I'll have plenty to say.

Kellyanne Ford
Class of 2014
Major/Minor: Psychology (Concentration: Clinical Counseling) / Sociology
Campus Involvement
- Peer Mentor
- Student Events Board President
- Zeta Tau Alpha Director of Fraternity Education
Hometown: Brick, NJ
What do you do for a campus job or work study?
For my on campus job, I am a tech for the Office of Student Activities, as well as the president of Student Events Board.
What are you up to this summer? And what are you most looking forward to?
This summer, I am staying in Chestertown and working on campus! I am most looking forward to exploring all of the extra things that this wonderful little town has to offer in the summertime.
Have you had any internship, research, or study abroad experiences?
One research experience that opened a lot of doors for me was an experiment that I conduced for my Health Psychology class. I worked in a small group and we all were hands-on in designing and conducting our experiment. Afterwards, we all had to do a lab write-up and design a poster to display our findings. This was such a valuable experience because it helped me prepare for my thesis. The best part about this research experience was that my group submitted it to the Eastern Psychological Association conference, where our project was accepted. We then had the opportunity to travel to New York to present our poster.
What should every student do before they graduate?
I think that every student should take advantage of the waterfront before they graduate! I don't just mean going down there to look and sit on the the benches, I mean going down and getting a kayak or joining the wakeboarding club… even taking a sailing class. The boat house has so much to offer to students; it is worth exploring because, after all, it's there for us to use!
How do you unwind?
To unwind I love to go down to the waterfront and just enjoy the atmosphere. If I can't go down to the water, I really like to listen to music or watch a movie to relax for a bit.

|In the west country, looking out the window on the train from Dublin
As I write this, I reflect upon how much life has changed since I travelled to Ireland last August, and how much my family has lost this year. We have spent far too much time standing by the bedside of someone we love, counting down to that last breath of life which tells us we are being left behind.
On the corner of my desk one of my mom's favorite scarves envelopes the red tennis ball that our sweet Sarah used to love to chase. Next to it sit two sets of rosary beads, one I brought from Ireland for my mom years ago, and one I held as a seven year old making my first holy communion. It is a little tableau of life which once was, and is no more.
|Croagh Patrick: St. Patrick's Mountain, County Mayo
I believe we are searching for ourselves among the ruins of old homesteads and piles of documentary evidence. We are searching for that marker which says, 'yes', your people have been planted on this earth for a very long time, they mattered and you matter now.
In the film The Hours, when asked why someone has to die in her novel 'Mrs. Dalloway', Virginia Woolf (as portrayed by Nicole Kidman) replies, 'In order that the rest of us might value life more'.
Are those of us who have been left behind valuing our lives more? Are we living the way we want to live, and doing what we want to do? Are we doing our level best to seek and to find, and to hold in remembrance those who have gone before us?
Yes, all serious questions, but worth contemplating I believe.
Some of you have entrusted me with the task of finding some things for you on this trip, and I want to sincerely thank you for your faith in me. I will do my best.
In return I ask that you take the time now to engage in a random act of kindness, genealogical or otherwise. If you are able, offer to help out someone who has sought help. Perhaps they are struggling with their research, or things just aren't clicking for them, and you could be the difference for them. Maybe they write a blog and just need a little encouragement.
|Dublin City
Life isn't perfect. No matter how great someone's life might seem from the outside, little do we know how it looks from the inside. We all face challenges, and we only have each other, so add a little encouragement along the way.
Value your life more.
Until we meet again.
|The Long Walk, Mount Jerome Cemetery, Harold's Cross, Dublin.

A giant yellow duck on display in a northern Taiwan port exploded Tuesday, just hours before it was expected to attract a big crowd to count down the new year.
The 18-metre-tall (59-feet) duck on show at Keelung burst around noon and deflated into a floating yellow disc, only 11 days after it went on display.
It was the second time that a giant inflatable duck -- a bath toy replica created by Dutch artist Florentijn Hofman -- had burst while on show in Taiwan. (AFP)

The Kaima Capture Mission (海魔捕獲任務, Kaima Hokaku Ninmu) spans from episode 169 to 173 of the Naruto anime. This arc is preceded by the Cursed Warrior Extermination Mission and is followed by the Daimyō Heir Escort Mission and the Buried Gold Excavation Mission.
When Anko Mitarashi was assigned to escort a delivery ship and stop a sea monster mystery in the Land of the Sea, she was assigned with Naruto, Shino, and Ino as all other active ninja were unavailable. Upon arriving at the Land of the Sea, Naruto met a young girl with several bandages named Isaribi. Naruto was shocked to learn that much like him Isaribi was shunned from the society and treated as a monster. Naruto tried to befriend her, but she was too traumatised to embrace his kindness. Later when reaching the ship, Naruto and his team were attacked by Yoroi Akadō and Misumi Tsurugi from the Chūnin Exams. Naruto was knocked out and sunk to the ocean. Fortunately, he was saved by Isaribi. Meanwhile, after gathering information from the villagers, they found Isaribi after she transformed into a humanoid sea creature and prevented her from escaping. After catching up with his team, Naruto discovers the sea monster was actually Isaribi. Unfortunately, before they could figure things out, Yoroi appears and kidnaps Isaribi. Naruto's team is unable to follow as Anko mysteriously faints.
After Anko recovers, she reveals the truth about her past and this chain of islands. She tells her team that several years ago, Orochimaru used this place as a base to conduct many of his horrific experiments. He was responsible for the people mysteriously disappearing; kidnapping them and using them as lab rats. Isaribi was one of them. These actions also started the legend of people being captured by spirits. Determined to make Orochimaru pay, Naruto insisted on destroying the hidden lab. While Anko was able to guide them to the lab thanks to prior knowledge she had as Orochimaru's former apprentice, they were ambushed by the enemy. Naruto was shocked to learn that Isaribi was working with the people who turned her into a freak. She explained that all she cared about was becoming normal again, which Amachi, the lead scientist of the lab, promised he would do. Naruto tried to convince her that this was wrong and that he understood her pain since he too has been discriminated against but Isaribi refused to listen. She then retreated with Amachi to attack the cargo ship. Naruto was stopped from following by Misumi, but was able to defeat him with Ino's help. After escaping with his team from the crumbling lab as a result of the all the fighting inside, Naruto and his team went after Amachi and Isaribi. Naruto then found himself up against Isaribi, but eventually managed to make her understand what she was doing was wrong.
Soon after, Amachi went up against Naruto and revealed to have put himself through the same surgery as Isarabi but fully perfected. Initially, Naruto was completely overwhelmed, but by tapping into some of the Nine-Tail's chakra, Naruto quickly defeated Amachi. He soon after collapsed from exhaustion, but was saved again by Isaribi who was compelled to save him after realising Naruto really did understand her pain. Shortly after Naruto awoke, he and his team found themselves attacked by Amachi's spectral summoning. Naruto countered by summoning Gamabunta to help. Together, they were able to destroy it with an improvised fire release technique. After discovering that Amachi had no idea how to restore Isarabi to her previous form, Naruto offered Isaribi to come back with him to Konoha in hopes that Tsunade's superior medical prowess would be able to help her.

SAN JOSE, Calif. — When Rockne Brubaker and his last pairs partner split up, he wasn't sure he wanted to keep skating.
Nights like this are why he did.
Brubaker, who won three titles with his two previous partners, is back at the top again, winning the short program Thursday at the U.S. Figure Skating Championships with current partner Mary Beth Marley. The duo look like seasoned veterans in their second season together, their score of 65.80 points more than four points better than last year's runners-up, Amanda Evora and Mark Ladwig.
Caydee Denney and John Coughlin, who won the last two U.S. titles with different partners, were third going into Saturday's free skate.
"It's very difficult to start over," Brubaker said. "You look at some of teams that have been really successful and longevity is a key. The last (Olympic) trials and with what happened, it was a tough experience. I did contemplate for a time whether I should continue because the thought of starting over wasn't fun. It's a testament that when you want something and you've worked really hard for it, good things come your way."
Most of the top U.S. pairs have played a dizzying game of musical chairs in recent years, splitting up right when they seemed to be reaching their peak. Brubaker and previous partner Keauna McLaughlin seemed to have the makings of a team that could end the U.S. medal drought in pairs after winning back-to-back national titles in 2008 and 2009.
But their season in 2010 was so dismal they didn't even make the Vancouver Olympics. A few months later, McLaughlin announced that she was done skating, leaving Brubaker to start over.
Marley had no pairs experience before she and Brubaker, who also won a U.S. junior title with Mariel Miller, started skating together. But the two meshed quickly, and their chemistry improves with every program.
They drew the audience in with their delightfully peppy "Singing in the Rain" program, but it was their tricks that stole the show.
Their triple twist was huge, big enough to match the world's top teams. Their side-by-side triple toe loops looked effortless, they had such great speed they looked as if they were sprinting and she should get some frequent flier mileage for the distance she got on their throw triple lutz. The landing was a little shaky, but she managed to save it, flashing a big smile.
But it was their lift that was the class of the program. Her positions weren't as intricate as those done by some of the other couples, but Brubaker carried her across the ice with a speed and smoothness that was unmatched.
"I think Mary Beth and I are on the right track. We have a lot of growing to do, but think tonight, I haven't felt that good on the ice in a couple of years," Brubaker said. "It's in that moment you realize why you came back and why you stuck it out."
Marley and Brubaker's performance would have been tough for anyone to beat, and no one came close. Evora and Ladwig, the model of stability after almost 10 years together, were done in by her fall on their side-by-side triple toes. Denney almost did a belly-flop on a throw triple flip, a big no-no.
The error spoiled what had been an impressive nationals debut for Denney and Coughlin, who teamed up with a speed that would make even Kim Kardashian raise an eyebrow.
The U.S. had big hopes for Denney and her former partner, Jeremy Barrett, after they finished ninth at the 2009 world championships, less than nine months after they began skating together. They won the U.S. title the next year, and improved to seventh at worlds after finishing 13th at the Vancouver Olympics.
But Denney and Barrett struggled last season. After they finished third at nationals, Barrett announced his retirement. With no partner, Denney moved with her family from Florida to Colorado Springs, Colo., where her younger sister was training.
Where Coughlin was training, too.
Coughlin and his longtime partner, Caitlin Yankowskas, had been the feel-good story at last year's nationals, winning their first U.S. title with an emotional "Ave Maria" in tribute to Coughlin's mother, who had passed away 11 months earlier. They went on to finish sixth at worlds, the best finish by an American pair in a non-Olympic year since 1997, and best at any worlds since 2006.
Six days later, Yankowskas and Coughlin split up.
Thirteen days after that, Denney and Coughlin announced their partnership.
"Some things you can't plan for," Coughlin said. "I'm definitely blessed to be skating and here with Caydee."

Our plans today were to head out to the North American Handmade Bicycle Show in Virginia, but a small BLIZZARD got in our way. Crap.
The website Commute By Bike is covering the show, so head on over there if you'd like to see some drool-worthy bikes. Or if your'e in the area drop on by. They probably have low attendance because the whole east coast transportation system is pretty much locked up.
If you're at the show, drop a line in the comments to let us know what's good looking there.

Postgame quotes after the Revolution defeated the Chicago Fire at Toyota Park in SuperLiga 2010 group play on July 17.
Chicago Fire Head Coach Carlos de los Cobos
On the match against New England:
"We were against a different opponent today, and New England just played better than when we last played them in the League. We lost and it's a difficult situation. No one likes to lose matches – the fans, the club, the players, but this is the reality. We've been having difficult times in the past few weeks. We are paying the price a team pays when in the process of building a team. I know the current situation is uncomfortable, but in my experience in soccer, the only way to get out of the down times is to continue working. Sometimes it's necessary to understand that it's takes a lot to learn about these clubs and players. Unfortunately, making mistakes is a part of the equation. I know the players are giving 100% out there but we're just not mature enough to be a winning team. We are playing with players that don't have consistent playing time; we feel players' absences like Patrick (Nyarko) and Baggio (Husidic) Our team is young and needs to mature but fortunately, we're not far from the playoff spot in the League. My goal is to reach the playoffs this season."
On whether his system and tactics are compatible with the MLS:
"No, that's a great question but I'm convinced that good players are always capable of adapting to various systems and tactics. Like I've said, we have players that did not play last season and that is making it difficult for them to adapt to these situations."
On the goal:
"The ball was in Kwame's (Watson-Siriboe) possession, a good player who has a future in soccer. His performance tonight was much better than the previous matches, but he is a rookie. Unfortunately, he lost the ball and New England had a chance. Marco Perovic's strong strike surprised Sean (Johnson) Though we controlled the whole game, they were efficient when it came to the last touch."
On the Fire missing opportunities:
"Sometimes when there's pressure, there is room for mistakes. We create opportunities but the last touch will depend on the player's capability."
Chicago Fire Forward Stefan Dimitrov
Discussing the game:
"Definitely disappointing for us and most of all, for the fans because we haven't been performing well lately. There was different formation on the pitch or different players and something was missing and we didn't look dangerous at all. It's disappointing to get out of the tournament without that big of an effort, so we are disappointed."
About playing few minutes this season:
"It's definitely hard because practice hasn't been easy, in the same time, I think I have been there showing myself regularly with a good level of performance. I'm frustrated being there and seeing not so many minutes. So, hopefully, I will get some more in the future."
About injuries on the team:
"Unfortunately injuries might bring me on the field and one way or another I have to show and be there whenever I am called upon."
Chicago Fire Defender CJ Brown
On Nery Castillo:
"You look for somebody new, somebody fresh to come in and hopefully spark the group. It's going to be exciting for Chicago, a Mexican player coming in. That always brings a lot of fans too. So, hopefully, that brings a little more spirit for the team and brightens the fire a little bit, no pun intended."
"I watched him back in the Gold Cup. If it's the same guy I am thinking of, he was awesome. But I haven't seen him in a while, but if he can bring what he brought there, then it's going to be great for us."
"We definitely can't depend on him to come and change it around. The signing is to help the team get better and bringing him in will do that. It will also spark the rest of the players to fight harder to keep there spots. I think it's a good thing, we need some fresh feet out there."
On Castillo's past attitude:
"I think it's going to be great. You always want someone with a little attitude and hopefully he can spark it on the field. That's what we were always about. We fight when we need to fight and we play when we need to play. And if he has that attitude, you look at Blanco, Blanco had the same type of attitude, Nowak same attitude. So, I think it will be good for us."
Whether Castillo will be what is missing from the Fire:
"It's good to have a guy come in that has some attacking ability, if he has a spark and an attitude that will also be good. And we need to fight a little bit more."
Chicago Fire Defender Kwame Watson-Sirboe
On the game:
"I think I played a lot better than the first game. I think it is still just being confident, playing confident and also staying composed. The coaches helped, my teammates helped. I think I did decently. Obviously I made a mistake on the goal but I think I can still make some improvements. I tried to trap it, play composed but he just got a touch on the ball nicked it away and counter attacked and scored a goal. I think I could have cleared it, used my body to get a little more space. But it's a learning process so hopefully next time I deal with the same situation in a different way."
Discussing the confidence of the team early in the game:
"I think the confidence comes from us not really putting too much pressure on ourselves. When we all relax we are a really good team. When we stay relaxed and we stay composed, we can beat anyone on any given day. I think today we forgot about the Morelia game that result and tried to concentrate on the game."
New England Revolution Head Coach Steve Nicol
On the game:
"I happy that we won it at all. Obviously with fresh legs, it helped. But, there's no air, so when you make the run, it takes 3 days to try and get your breath back. So it makes it hard on the wide guys. Don't waste your energy on the back runs."
New England Revolution Forward Kheli Dube
On the goal:
"As soon as you lose the ball, you try to get the ball back. It's what you want to do. It could have been anyone else, just try to win the ball back. It just happened to be that I won the ball back and got a goal. "
On not scoring many goals this season:
"I think I am getting chances and I think in a couple weeks I will start getting goals. It's frustrating as a forward but you have to do other stuff too. If you're not scoring goals you're not helping your team winning games so that's why I am just trying to stay focused and as soon as I start getting goals everything will be fine."
New England Revolution Defender Chris Tierney
Thoughts the game:
"We want to win our groups so we play at home, that would be big. That's what can happen when we spread the field, pass the ball, we are just smart. We played much smarter tonight. We made good decisions and that's what happens, we are definitely on the right track. We won 2 in a row at home, but it was going to be a great test coming here. And I think we implemented all the stuff we did at home, that worked for us and I worked here too. If we keep playing this way, we should start turning things around and getting better results."

Dec. 8, 2010
NORTHRIDGE, Calif. -
The Cal State Northridge softball team announced the signing of five players to National Letters of Intent, according to head coach Tairia Flowers. Alexa Limon and Tiffini Lucero bring junior college experience while Crystal Maas, Sydney House and Abby Linn offer extensive high school and travel ball knowledge to the Matadors beginning in the 2012 season.
"We're excited to bring in five quality people to the Matadors for the 2012 season and beyond," Flowers said. "All five young women are great people who will help make this a program that the school can be proud of for their work on the diamond, in the classroom and throughout the community."
Maas, House and Linn will all arrive at Northridge in the fall of 2011 with four years of eligibility after graduating high school in the spring. Limon and Lucero will each come to CSUN with two years of eligibility remaining.
Maas will join the Matadors as a pitcher and infielder after a successful career at Carson High School. In the 2010 season, she batted .368 with 28 runs scored and 24 RBIs for the Colts. She played her travel ball for SoCal Wicked.
"Crystal is capable of playing both corner infield spots and brings depth to our pitching staff," Flowers said. "She is also a great force at the plate that will add depth and power to our lineup."
House prepped at Crescenta Valley High School where she primarily played first base. In 2010, she was an All-Area First Team selection, batting .405 with four home runs and 27 RBIs for the Falcons. She also earned All-Pacific League First Team honors and scored 16 runs. She played her travel ball for Firecrackers North.
"Sydney brings a lot of power to the plate and is an outstanding defensive first baseman," Flowers added. "I fully expect Sydney to come in and compete for playing time."
Linn is the third prep to join the Matadors in 2012 after spending her high school career at Saugus High School. She earned All-Foothill League Second Team honors following the 2010 season. She batted .347 with 11 RBIs and 14 runs scored for the Centurions that season. She played her travel ball for SoCal Explosion.
Limon joins CSUN after two seasons at Mt. SAC. With the Mounties, Limon was 17-5 in the 2010 season from the pitching circle. She also earned a spot on the 2010 California State Championship All-Tournament Team. She was a teammate that season with current Matador Samantha Sloniker.
"Alexa is a solid pitcher who knows the game and knows how to work the pitch count," Flowers said. "She will be a great addition to our pitching rotation."
Lucero will arrive at CSUN after spending two seasons at the College of Southern Nevada. In 2010, Lucero batted .303 with 19 RBIs and 39 runs scored. She also had six stolen bases and four doubles and three triples.
"Tiffini is a dynamic infielder who brings a slick glove to our team," Flowers said. "I expect her to compete for infield positions and to add speed to our offense."
Flowers and the Matadors start their 2011 season at the Kajikawa Classic hosted by Arizona State on Feb. 11 with a game against San Jose State.

Steve Jobs mentioned the possibility of a 3G back in September, when he was announcing the iPhone on O2. He was asked a question about 3G and when we'd see it in the iPhone. His response back in September was telling:
"We've got to see the battery life for 3G get back up into the five-plus hour range, before it's really suitable for [the iPhone]. I think we'll see that hopefully late next year. But right now, you make a really big tradeoff to go to 3G, and that's really bad battery life."
Well, AT&T's Randall Stephenson had a big PR quotefest that you can read over at Bloomberg, and he mentions again that the iPhone would be coming out in 2008, but without the 'late' part. A lot of naysayers will use that to back up their crazy predictions of 3G iPhones arriving 'May 2008.' They may do well to note that Jobs is not so optimistic: he's thinking hopefully late next year, meaning there's a real possibility of 2009.

Have you been keeping loads of "junk" to be used sometime in the future for some unknown art project? My stash has really been piling up. The other day I brought a bunch of it out and set it out on the table. Then I called my girls down to create with it whatever they may.
|{Spaceship} Can't you tell?
Can you tell this little snippet is a dolphin?
Maisy taped these two sticks together and said they were chop sticks.
Here's some more pics of their creating. I just sat, observed, and took pictures. I didn't suggest anything to them or tell them what to use - I just enjoyed watching them as they happily created.
|Building with craft stick on paper.
|What do you think this is? {I can't remember}
|Acorn with a load of glue on top???
After sitting and watching for a long while, I decided to get in on the action. I decided to make some sort of a ball drop thing-a-majig. Lou was immediately interested and began adding to it.
Then she started testing it out with different sizes of balls.
And honestly, in this house we never get away with doing anything without coming across a face like this. If life were fair, horses would ride half the time, right?
But after all she did end up getting her turn - testing it out and changing it to her liking.
And letting me know how it works.
And the whole time the fiasco with the ball drop was going on, Mina is perfectly content playing with her Zoobles.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Netflix Inc on Wednesday announced its first original Spanish-language television series, a bid by the video-streaming company to attract subscribers in Latin America and Spanish speakers in the United States
Netflix said the series, a 13-episode comedy about a family feud among the heirs to a soccer club, is slated to premiere in 2015 and will be shot in Mexico.
The series, which is so far untitled, will be produced by Gaz Alazraki, the director of the popular 2013 Mexican comedy film "Nosotros los Nobles" ("We Are the Nobles"), and star Mexican actor Luis Gerardo Mendez.
Netflix's venture into original programming, which includes political thriller "House of Cards" and comedy-drama "Orange Is the New Black," has earned the first Emmy Awards for an online-only company.
"House of Cards," which stars Kevin Spacey and Robin Wright, earned three Emmys last year.
Netflix is available in much of Latin America.

You don't love Daddy no more?
Remember when JailBait, at 16, was dating that 20 year old cheese loser Justin Something and he'd wear his cross around his neck and get papped with the family leaving church every weekend and Billy Ray Cyrus would have his arm around his shoulders and they'd go for bbq and milkshakes and sh-t?
Not happening with Liam Hemsworth.
Last night at the LA premiere of The Last Song, Miley and Liam walked the carpet arm in arm. Yeah she pushed out her beat-me mouth but she also gazed at him adoringly. A lot. Oh this girl has it bad. Check it – that is some familiar body language, the boy knows every curve.
Miley did not spend too much time posing alone, if at all. It was all Liam, and a few shots here and there with that mother of hers, and a moment with that 10 year old woman-child she calls a younger sister Noah (her expression in these pictures is terrifying), and several with producers and industry people, but I've spent several minutes looking, and haven't been able to find one, not one, of Miley and her daddy Billy Ray. Maybe I haven't searched hard enough; I really shouldn't have to.
Not too long ago those two were inseparable. And now Miley and Daddy... not even at a premiere??? It's the PREMIERE. Now THIS is the real life sh-t that makes it interesting. Coming up on the next episode: Daddy can't tell Miley what to do, who not to f-ck, and how to make more money. And no one wants to sign Noah to a record contract.
PS. This leather dress looks great on her.

Welcome to the Baling for Biodiversity Project
Background to the Project
The Baling for Biodiversity project is Heritage Lottery Funded and has both conservation and learning objectives and community involvement. It is a two year pilot project managed by Hawk and Owl Trust in partnership with the Norfolk Wildlife Trust.
Where will the project be concentrated
Over the two year period we intend to work on the restoration of up to 15 designated Norfolk County Wildlife Sites in three geographic clusters – Fakenham / Dereham, Norwich Periphery/ Aylsham and Cromer.
The project will use Hawk and Owl Trust cutting and baling equipment to restore habitat for the ultimate benefit of barn owls and kestrels by cutting at appropriate times of year and by following NWT management protocol for scrub and tree clearance. This management regime will benefit a wide section of the ecosystem that the owls and kestrels depend on.
As well as physical work on sites, there will be opportunities for volunteers to be involved in species identification and monitoring, in educational liaison, in nest box installation and in development of interpretation material.
At our Sculthorpe Moor reserve the cutter and baler are used to manage various parts of the fen, reed bed and sedge beds by cutting in rotation. For example, in September we produced over 200 bales of hay from the fen on the right side of the main drain – which is provides winter fodder for the Highland Cattle that graze the meadows. We will also probably cut some areas of reed and sedge in the New Year. Cutting and clearing reed in the winter strengthens it, while cutting in the summer weakens it allowing other, less dominant species to get established.

(CNN) -- Travel warnings from the U.S. Department of State didn't stop Faith Hentschel, 65, from venturing to Iran this May to visit the rustic sites in ancient Persepolis and the colorful bazaars in Tehran.
A photo of Khaju Bridge in Isfahan, Iran, taken by an American traveler.
"I had no idea what to expect," said Hentschel, who spent two weeks in Iran after booking the trip through a private tour operator and applying for a visa. "I was stunned with the friendliness of all the Iranian people. That alone makes me want to go back."
Iran is still a relatively rare destination for Americans, creating a niche market for only a handful of tour operators across the nation that organize group trips for travelers once or twice a year. And with news of the arrest of three American backpackers, along with the June election riots and government crackdown, Iran may be an even harder sell, some travel companies said.
"It really depends on the political climate and the perception of Iran," said Mike McDonnell, who operates the site BestIranTravel.com in San Francisco, California. The site books trips for non-Iranian travelers interested in visiting. His site saw a decline in booking travel to Iran this summer. "It's already really hard to get to Iran in the first place."
Officials at the U.S. Department of State say travel warnings have been implemented on Iran since the hostage crisis in 1979, when militants captured 52 American diplomats and staff. The Americans were held for 444 days. Since then, the two countries have had no diplomatic relations.
U.S. passports are valid for travel to Iran and visas are required to enter the country, according to the State Department Web site. Going with an organized tour group is the easiest way to attain a visa. Travelers who do visit Iran run the risk of being denied entry, U.S. officials say. In some cases, Iranian officials have prevented American citizens, academics, scientists and journalists from leaving the country, and even detained, interrogated and imprisoned some on unknown or various charges, the Web site said.
"It's made well-known that the destination [Iran] could be perilous for American citizens," said Darby Holladay, spokesman at the State Department.
Last week, three Americans were detained after crossing into northern Iran during a hiking trip. The two men and one woman, said to be seasoned travelers, began their trip in Turkey and went into Iraq before crossing the unmarked border into Iran. The U.S. State Department and the Australian and British government warn against traveling into the border zones.
"Obviously, we are concerned," Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Monday to reporters. "We want this matter brought to a resolution as soon as possible."
Mudhafer Mohammed, owner of the Miwan Hotel, told CNN that the hikers said they had come to the area because they heard it was safe. Mohammed said he tried to discourage them from going to Ahmed Awa, a popular tourist destination in the northern Kurdish region of Iraq.
"I told them, 'Don't go there because it is unsafe for you because you're American and Ahmed Awa is very close to the Iranian border,' " Mohammed told CNN. It is unclear whether the three wandered into Iran accidentally or intentionally entered the country.
Pauline Frommer, creator of the Pauline Frommer's Travel Guides, said it's safer when visiting countries in conflict to use travel companies and tour operators that rely on local accommodations and guides. She warned against staying in big hotel chains, which have been targets in recent terrorist attacks in Indonesia and India.
"When it's an iffy destination, it's always a good idea to try and travel under the radar," she said. "You don't want to be a target."
Despite worries about safety, demand for visiting Iran has grown in recent years. Last May, travel writer Rick Steves shot a 10-day video of his visit to Iran in a one-hour special that launched on PBS. The project cleared up misconceptions about Iran and sparked Americans' interest in traveling there, travel experts said.
At Geographic Expeditions, a luxury travel company that organizes trips to Iran, the number of participants doubled from 25 in 2007 to 50 in 2008. Spiekermann Travel Service, Inc., one of the oldest travel agencies that specializes in Iranian travel, has booked more than 350 tours to the country since it began operating there in 1995.
"My path is known," said Ihab Zaki, owner of Spiekermann, which is based in Michigan. He said he began offering tours after he visited the country himself and was awed by its history and art.
"We send all our paperwork to local governments and they know we are coming. I don't let my people roam around in the middle of nowhere. It's very safe."
But the recent uncertainty in Iran has caused interest to wane. Spiekermann's bi-annual trips to Iran, limited to 14 travelers, usually sell out. But only four have signed up for the fall trip. Far Horizons Archaeological & Cultural Trips, Inc. in San Anselmo, California planned a second trip to Iran for October after their first trip in May sold out. But owner Mary Dell Lucas said the trip maybe be canceled because travelers are withdrawing.
"What's happening most recently is scaring people," she said. "Those three Americans made a mistake, but with us, it's very different. We are taking a group, and we are invited."
Lucas' firm and other tour companies say they take precautions. Participants are required to abide by Iranian law, which means women must dress conservatively and cover their heads with scarves. A professor and a local guide, who are familiar with the country, accompany the American travelers.
Barbara Bailey, a 73-year-old from rural Ohio, went on a two-week vacation to Iran last April with a tour group. Her favorite part of the trip was talking to the Iranian women at the local restaurants.
"I went because nobody has really been before, and I know they have a wonderful history," Bailey said. "If you can get past the government, the people there are great."
If travelers can't afford to spend between $6,000 and $10,000 on organized excursions of two or three weeks and decide to backpack, they still need to follow the rules, said Jon Dorn, editor in chief of Backpackers Magazine.
"If you're going to a place that's not like America, then do your homework on what's appropriate," said Dorn. Backpackers Magazine, an online and print publication specializing in backpacking, hiking and travel, reaches 2.5 million readers in the U.S.
Dave Stevenson, who oversees the Web site www.travel-security-and-safety.com, said hikers should be equipped with GPS systems, satellite or cell phones and maps when traveling in border areas, especially in conflict zones. They should also notify relatives back home where they are hiking abroad.
"The world is a big place," Stevenson said, "And there are always plenty of places to hike that aren't dangerous or war zones."

Leaving straight in the safari truck from our river cruise, we made our way to Chobe National Park for a game drive and camping. Everyone who goes on a safari had the big five animals in their mind: Lions, Leopard, Buffaloes, Elephants and Black Rhino.
Elephants and Buffaloes were almost guaranteed sights and I had no interest in seeing a Rhino since we saw one yesterday, so our main "targets" were the lions and leopard. We were told lions can be seen maybe 3 days out of the week and leopards are super rare, sometimes not seen for weeks due to their reclusive nature. So, we were definitely not holding our breath since we're only doing one day game drive.
But, as it turns out luck were on our side. We haven't even reached the national park yet when we spotted our first Lion sighting. He was literally just hanging out on the side of the main street! Our driver quickly made our way closer, but so does about a dozen of other safari trucks. It got really annoying since some cars were being selfish and blocked the road, which made it harder for others to get closer. But the lion got up and changed place, and we were able to track him down to get a closer look.
It was about 36C out that day. Even the king of the jungle himself was heavily panting and cooling himself down under the shade…
This is a blurry shot, but the elephants were also looking for shade under the hot, unforgiving sun!
A few minutes later, we arrived at the entrance of the national park.
We drove a straight line and found a bunch of elephants crowded around a water source. It was extremely fascinating yet intimidating at the same time, since some of them did get pretty close to us!
These deer-like animals below are called macdonalds, due to the "M" shape on their butt that resembles the golden McDonalds arc. They are very common and can be seen pretty much everywhere throughout the park. They're also fast food for the lions I guess…
Saw a huuuuuge herd of african buffaloes!
We drove around for an hour or so with nothing very exciting happening. From the pictures a game drive could seem overwhelming and full of sightings, but in reality you could drive for 30 mins with nothing to see. You are in the wilderness after all and we can't predict the behavior of the animals.
But then, we got our second sight of a lion later that day, a lioness to be exact!
There weren't many other safari trucks around, so we were able to spend quite some time admiring this beautiful cat.
Soon enough, the sun started to set and the park were bathed in a pinkish hue. We were doing another aimless drive for what seemed like hours, probably our last round of the day, when our driver stopped the car rather abruptly.
He spotted a LEOPARD!!! Later on we learned it was the first Leopard sighting in weeks.
We quickly made our way closer, close enough to see the details of her beautiful coat and the muscle definition on this animal every time she moved. So elegant, so quiet and calculated. I swear I could watch her for hours and hours…
We were EXTREMELY lucky to have spotted her while she was on the ground. Not even five minutes later, probably aware of our presence, she went off to a nearby tree and started climbing up. Another group arrived soon after and were only able to admire this leopard from afar.
On another note, I always thought if I happen to be stuck in the middle of nowhere in Africa, I would just climb a tree and stay there. Now I know that even climbing a tree won't save me!
The sun was quickly setting, so we headed to our camp site to settle for the night. It was fine while the sun were still out… but come night time things got pretty scary. I realized we were literally in the middle of nowhere in Africa, with no towns nearby or electricity and everything was pitch dark. We had no light source save for the bonfire and some weak lantern in the common area. None of us brought flash light with us so we had to rely on our iphone's light to get around.
Thank god we didn't have to build our tents at least, and the accommodation inside were actually pretty nice. We had a (thin) mattress with sheets, pillow and blanket. Our toilet were pretty much natural though… so I try to use it as little as possible :x
We had dinner (prepared for us) around the bonfire and talked with other members of the tour. Throughout the night kept hearing noises and low growling from somewhere that seems not too far off from the camp site, which became increasingly concerning to me. But later on we were told by our guide that the sounds was actually the rumblings of the stomach of the elephants passing by. Our camp site were located between their water source and their night time dwelling, so we were warned that some of them might even pass through our area during the night!
After a satisfying dinner and conversation, we went off to bed since we had to get up early for a morning game drive.
