California Week: Q&A With California Golden BlogsPosted by Connor Pelton on June 24th, 2012
It's been a fun week of California basketball coverage here on the Pac-12 Microsite, so we've decided to close it out with opinions from a couple of Golden Bear insiders. "Kodiak" and "LeonPowe" from California Golden Blogs agreed to kindly join us for a Q&A on the state of the Cal program. If you're reading this, you no doubt already know the great work and comedic relief that they do over there covering the Golden Bears, but consider this a friendly reminder.
RTC: With the departure of Jorge Gutierrez, is Allen Crabbe firmly locked into the "main leader" role this season?
Kodiak: From a personality standpoint, Crabbe seems more of a lead by example type. However, when he was a high school player, he took control as an upperclassman and led that team to a state championship. It may be that he's deferred because we've had such strong leaders in MSF (Markuri Sanders-Frison), Jorge Gutierrez, and Harper Kamp. He's very respectful and may simply have been waiting his turn. The guy who is most likely to assert himself vocally would be point guard Justin Cobbs. He'll have the ball in his hands a lot, so how he responds to Coach [Mike] Montgomery will have a huge impact on team chemistry. He has a lot of potential, but it's things like leadership, decision-making, body language, and consistency that are on the wish list. He improved throughout last year and did very well for a young point guard in his first year as a starter.
LeonPowe: In terms of most talented player – absolutely, but I think in terms of actual team leader, I think he'll have strong competition from junior point guard Justin Cobbs. Crabbe is our best player and his performance will go a long way in how well or poorly we play this year, but Crabbe has also had a tendency to, well, not seize the game by its throat and play up to the level which we know he is capable of. On the other hand, Cobbs is the point guard and is a lot more aggressive than Crabbe has tended to be in the past two years, so I think a lot of the on-court leadership will come from Cobbs.

Alhambra Palace Hotel Suites and Resort
Alhambra Palace Hotel is a recently-renovated historic landmark in Ramallah. Built as a private residence in 1926, it was converted into a hotel in 1947 by the Ramallah Summer Resorts Company, at a time when Ramallah was still a very small town. The hotel enjoys a favorable location that is within walking distance to the town center, yet in a wooded area, facing the Western hills, that provides a beautiful view, shade, and a cooling summer breeze. Until the 1970's, the hotel served as a summer resort for Arab visitors and dignitaries, including kings, princes and ministers. The Hotel hosted many types of events and often accomodated celebrities, and prominent Movie Stars. Among its many conferences was the 1967 Arab Lawyers' Conference.
During the 1980s and 1990s, the Alhambra Palace Hotel was leased to Birzeit University to use as a student residence. The building was recently re-acquired and reopened as "Alhambra Palace Hotel Suites and Resort" in June 2009, after a total renovation that provides guests with modern amenities while fully retaining the historic elements of the building's architecture. Alhambra Palace Hotel shares the same management as the world-famous Mount Scopus Hotel in Jerusalem, benefiting from decades of hospitality experience.
The Alhambra Palace was built in a Mediterranean villa style with unique elements of Palestinian architecture at the turn of the 20th century. The thick rose-colored stone walls, decorative floor tiles, and beautiful arched windows offer the pleasant feel of an era long gone.
The building enjoys an extensive garden with a restaurant in which guests can enjoy a laid-back breakfast or an entertaining evening. Although Ramallah has grown into a fairly large city, the hotel remains in a relatively quiet neighborhood.

By Lorraine Morong
On Jan. 28, 14 residents were on hand for Oyster River Cooperative School District Superintendent James Morse's presentation of the district's 2014 budget, but they also took the opportunity to welcome Morse to Madbury. He has just moved into the Moharimet community and he reported that his grandson will be an ORCSD student next fall.
The fiscal news wasn't great. Morse had to tell these taxpayers that the budget wouldn't be level-funded as the school board (and everyone else) had hoped.
Due to state and federal cuts, the reduction which he and the district's business administrator, Sue Caswell, expected to gain as a result of having 11 staff members off the payroll due to early retirement packages were wiped out. (The state, which had been funding retirement fees, has now relegated that bill to the towns.)
The proposed budget increase of 1.2% means that the impact on the tax rate will be 4.86% in Madbury; 4.58% in Lee; and 4.40% in Durham.
When Selectman Jay Moriarty asked Morse if he foresees improvement in the financial picture, Morse replied "I do!" Throughout he stressed the challenge: "We must meet the needs of the students and be fiscally responsible."
There was discussion of the possibility of having a greater number of tuition students and of the financial benefit to the district, which is facing a gradual decline in the school population.
School Board members Maria Barth and Tom Newkirk and Caswell accompanied Morse for this presentation. He reported that the Advisory Budget Committee had done a commendable job.
While the budget hearing has been held, the first Deliberative Session of the school district meeting will take place on Feb. 5 at 7 p.m. in the O.R. High School auditorium. A Candidate's Night is scheduled for Feb. 20. A moderator and two at-large board members will be elected this year. The balloting will be on March 12, in each town.
Two visitors came to the selectmen's meeting on Jan. 18: Catalina Celentano, PSNH's District Community Relations Manager, and Madbury's rep on the Oyster River school board, Ed Charle.
Celentano said she was there for a "Get to know you" type meeting, though she said she realized that the selectmen had written to PSNH relative to their perceived need for formal strategy relative to storms.
PSNH's priorty in storms is clearing roads for emergency access, according to Celentano. Then comes responding to fire and police needs. She said that it is obvious that PSNH will tackle first areas with the largest population, in times of blackouts.
There was discussion of the tree-trimming schedule which PSNH follows. "It rotates every four years," according to Celentano. "The seacoast has had a lot of tree trimming this last year." She reported that there are three types of tree-trimming: 1) take out everything; 2) go with the shape of the tree; 3) scenic roads. Owners permission is always sought and in the case of scenic roads, town officials are consulted as well. Arborists are part of the tree-trimming team.
The selectmen expressed the need to have "contact with anyone who knows anything" when confronted with a problem during a storm. Celentano said she is that person and gave them her cell phone number. And she requested that she be informed whenever a road is closed during a storm.
Selectman Jay Moriarty told Celentano that there has been a "fantastic improvement in the time response."
Medical emergency customers will be given priority treatment if they register ahead of time with fire or police departments. Privacy issues prevent such cases from disclosures elsewhere.
Charle said he'd dropped in because he would not be attending Supt. of Schools James Morse's budget meeting with the citizens in town. He reported that the budget to be presented will involve a slight increase.
The discussion centered on the budget and on the declining enrollment, and on the possibility of more tuition students being accepted at Oyster River High School.
When the selectmen apologized for Charle's having to sit through the discussion with Celentano, he assured them that having her cell phone number made it worth the time.
While the hearing held here on Jan 24 relative to the Durham-UNH Integrated Planning/Permit Watershed Approach was hosted by the Oyster River Local Advisory Committee and the Oyster River Watershed Association, it was actually the first hearing to be held by representatives of Vanasse Hangen Brustlin, Inc., consultants who expect to meet again with the stakeholders in the continuing discussion relative to reducing the nitrogen level in Great Bay.
VHB's William Arcieri and Geoffrey Morrison-Logan expressed their need to interact with the stakeholders of the communities within the Great Bay watershed. Six communities were represented at the hearing.
Durham's town engineer, David Cedarholm, presented the scenario of what's been done to date to seek sustainable solutions to the EPA's demands that the nitrogen level in Great Bay be reduced to 3 milligrams per liter. At present the level is between 15 and 20 mlg per liter.
Cedarholm envisions future upgrades to the waste water facilities in Durham taking care of about 30% of the pollution while innovative ways of reducing the remaining 70% will need to be initiated. The 70% comes from septic systems (there are 3,000 of them in the Great Bay watershed), from fertilizer on lawns and fields, and from stormwater run-off. Cedarholm has created a rain garden at Oyster River High School, one of the many which will be needed if change is to be effected, he says.
The project VHB is undertaking might be a model for other watersheds, according to Cedarholm. Acieri and Morrison-Logan left their website (www.vhb.com) in case some of the stakeholders want to get in touch.
A`proposed budget for 2013 town expenses was agreed upon when the selectmen met on Jan 25. The bottom line is $1,413,890, a 3.7 % increase over 2012.
A budget hearing will be held on Feb. 11 at 7 p.m. in the Town Hall. The warrant for the March 12 Town Meeting will be finalized by then and will be discussed as well as the budget.

As I mentioned in my original post, Exploring Excel 2013 as Microsoft's BI Client, I will be posting tips regularly about using Excel 2013. Much of the content will be a result of my daily interactions with business users and other BI devs. In order to not forget what I learn or discover, I write it down … here. I hope you too will discover something new you can use. Enjoy!
Cleaning Up Slicers
In this tip, a follow up from Tip 4 on adding slicers, I wanted to highlight a couple of ways to clean up your slicers to make them more user friendly.
The focus here is around Slicer Settings which can be opened from the short cut menu on the slicer or in the SLICER TOOLS ribbon option as shown below.
This will open the Slicer Settings dialog. The image below shows the setting for my Age Range slicer with the slicer. The settings you see are the default settings.
So how can you change this to be better for the user. You may need to change the Caption to reflect something better for the users. You can also remove this if the content in the slicer is self-explanatory.
Next, check your sorting. If you have the data sorted correctly, use it. However, you can also do typical alpha sorting. Be aware, that you may have issues with data types like dates or numbers if they are not ready for this type of sort.
The 3 check boxes are the most relevant. The two selected by default should be used in general. The next set of images show the visualization of the slicer based on these settings. In this scenario, we only have data for the 30-39 option.
No options are selected:
This gives no visual cues to what data is available or not. This is the least preferred as there is no clarity to the user.
The image above dims the options that have no data by selecting the "Visually indicate items with no data". This works great in a short list and you want to display options with no data. Basically, knowing that no data exists is important to the user.
When you have more options, you can add the option to "Show items with no data last" which will move items with data to the top. With longer lists this helps provide relevant data at the top of the list.
The final option will hide items with no data. This is clearly preferred for potentially long lists. My favorite usage for this option is to use this with dates. This will allow me to source only dates with data for filtering use. Here is what our list looks like with the "Hide items with no data" option selected.
This option is really cool as slicers are interactive and will remove options as other slicers are selected. I tend to use this a lot as it also saves real estate on the sheet when designing dashboards in Excel.

Ah, yes, everyone recalls the Super Bowl winner but many forget that other great team that got there and lost.
So we asked intrepid young Lucy Che to figure out for us all the Number 2 candidates, the "runners up," to Barack Obama in the annual nation to nation polling for "man of the Year."
Lucy told us that Barack Obama is secure in his spot in most nations as the peoples' choice for "Man of the Year." But in China his competition was, let us say, "stiff."
The second most popular Man of the Year for 2008 in China was apparently Edison Chen.
Edison Chen cares little for global warming, the economy or human rights.
He is a porn star.
In fact, he is such a porn star that "Edison Chen" and "Chen" became the most web searched names in China last year.
Edison Chen became a "sensation" in China when several porn videos and stills of him cavorting with pretty Chinese starlets appeared on the Internet.
Message to Barack: Don't get cocky! Michelle will brain you.
And Edison is talented. He speaks several languages. But if you ask any young Chinese woman, they can only think of one language they'd like to try with Edison.
Edison: phone home.
The tidal wave of interest in Chen and his sexual ability became so great that China pulled the plug and told Google, Baindu and other search engines they had to remove the porn or else.
The search engines backed down and even Google groveled before the Chinese government to regain their search rights.
Obama was clearly the winner for "Man of the Year." But Edison Chen wound up on top a lot of the time….
As for those interested in seeing Edison in action: you are on your own!
Google, Baidu Other Internet Companies Apologize to China To Regain Business
Edison Chen was narrowly beaten by Barack Obama for "Person of the Year 2008" in Radio Television Hong Kong's poll.

I guess by now many of you are in a Cataclysm frenzy.
I wish I could say the same… unfortunately, the store where I pre-purchased my copy closes at 6pm… and it wasn't allowed to be released until 7pm.
I might have hung around a couple of hours after work to pick it up… but no point waiting outside their door all night.
Of course some shops were releasing it earlier… but my shop was following the rules.
Stupid rules.
Enjoy the crush folks!
Gnomer and Out!
I guess I will just download the Cataclysm client, then whack my rego code in tomorrow… Two letters away from Cataclysm …thanks for the tip Aurdon! At least that way I wont spend a couple of hours staring at a download screen.

My upcoming posts will most likely be sporadic. My orientation is this Thursday and then I start grad school next week! EEK! I am VERY nervous and I'm afraid that swatching will have to be on the back burner until I get the hang of things.
So on to the pics! Here is my NOTD: Nubar Forest.
I apologize for the tipwear; I have been doing laundry and cleaning all day so that I don't have to worry about it next week!
There is something so sexy and edgy to me about greens. Green is also a soothing, calming color, which may explain why I like greens so much!
You can still buy Nubar Forest from Nubar's website where it retails for $7.49. Nubar often does awesome promos so keep your eyes peeled for promo notices!

Bahrain GP: Saturday Press Conference
1 - Nico ROSBERG (Mercedes)
2 - Sebastian VETTEL (Red Bull Racing)
3 - Fernando ALONSO (Ferrari)
Q: Congratulations Nico, you're first ever top four start in Bahrain and you did it in style. Were you as surprised as some people that pole was yours today?
Nico ROSBERG: A little bit, yeah. It wasn't really clear before who was the quickest car, especially over one lap. I was a bit closer this morning already, so I was a bit more happy than yesterday for sure, so as a team I think we worked really during the night to improve the car because yesterday we were really struggling. So that's been going well. I'm really, really happy, that's a fantastic result. That's great for tomorrow. Of course tomorrow it's going to be a tough race for sure, with rear tire degradation especially, so a lot can still happen.
Q: We'll talk more about the race in a couple of moments. Sebastian, you're qualifying today: was that the pace of the Red Bull or was it a lap that could have been better? Are you disappointed with second place?
Sebastian VETTEL: Definitely not disappointed. I think congratulations to Nico; he put a very strong lap in. I think it was all his today. Initially when I crossed the line I saw that I didn't go first, so I saw second placed on one of the screens but I didn't know how much was missing, because the lap was fine. You always a little bit here or there but, yeah, when I got told the gap to P1, to Nico, it was clear that even with the perfect lap he was unbeatable today. But nevertheless, very happy. I think we managed to save some tires throughout qualifying. As Nico touched on it will be all about tires and tire degradation tomorrow, once again. So, we'll see what happens but for sure it's good to start from the front.
Q: Today, Fernando, was all about the dash for pole, though, and it was a lap, your second lap, that contained a couple of errors right at the end and you came back into the pits. Was that trying too hard because Nico's lap was too fast or were you just not happy with the balance of the car or what?
Fernando ALONSO: Well, in the car obviously you don't know Nico's lap, we don't have TV in the car yet! So we tried to complete the second lap and it was very, very similar until the last corner and in the last corner the exit I saw it was half a tenth or one tenth slower than the previous lap so we decided to come in just to save one lap on those tires. You never know if you have to use them again in the race, so very, very happy with third place. Normally in qualifying we're struggling a lot but today the car was very competitive in qualifying and this puts us in a strong position to start tomorrow's race with the group of the leaders and fight for the podium with a little bit more margin.
Q: Nico, both Sebastian and Fernando have hinted at tire degradation sorting out tomorrow's race. It's something that Mercedes have suffered from in the past, so is today your day for celebration and is tomorrow just a day to limit your losses?
Rosberg: I really want to kick-start my season. It's really been a rough ride in the first three races and so today's really been the first normal qualifying up to now, so I just want to kick-start everything now, my whole season. I'm OK for the race tomorrow, you know. For sure the competition is going to be tough, definitely. Difficult to say if we have enough pace to win the race tomorrow but for sure we're going to try and I look forward to starting first - definitely.
Q: (Abhishek Takle - Midday) Question to Fernando: you must be pretty confident heading into tomorrow because you've shown good long-run pace and a strong start could set you up for the win, don't you think?
Alonso: Well, let's see. I think the race is very long so we need to wait and see how the pace is tomorrow. It's true that on Sundays normally we do improve our performance and we seem more competitive on Sunday than on Saturday. Friday also the long runs were more or less OK and not a big drama with the tires. So, let's wait and see tomorrow. The conditions keep changing all the time here in Bahrain with the circuit running more and more categories, not only the Formula One, so I think tomorrow will be a good opportunity for us, first of all to win the podium and try to get some consistency and races in the podium and if we can fight for the win, even better.
Q: (Frederic Ferret - L'Equipe) Question to all three drivers: are you surprised by the time of the two Lotus?
Rosberg: Where are they? [Ninth and eleventh] In that case, yeah, for sure, because all weekend they've been looking very quick.
Vettel: Did they run in Q3 or not? [Raikkonen qualified and ran] Yeah. Same as Nico, it's a big surprise. I don't know, that's why I was asking. I don't know what's their plan for tomorrow but yeah, they were quite quick this morning, for sure. It didn't matter the compound, they were quite quick all weekend so something must have gone wrong.
Q: Fernando?
Alonso: Yeah, same.
Q: (Livio Oricchio - O Estado de Sao Paulo) Nico, the race simulation you did in free practice, you have indication that you have a good pace for the race or maybe it will be like in the last races where you were very fast in qualifying, not so much in race?
Rosberg: I think it's not going to be... we're not going to be as quick as we were in qualifying compared to everybody else. I think it's much closer tomorrow on race fuel but you just have to wait. There's so many factors that influence that, you just have to wait and see. For sure it will be much more difficult, yeah.
Q: (Andrea Cremonesi - La Gazzetta dello Sport) Nico, when we met yesterday, we were joking a little bit with bad words in Italian about your situation.
Rosberg: What were we talking about?
Q: We were joking with a bad word...
Rosberg: Ah yeah. You said that, yeah?
Q: Yes, I know, my apologies. How did you improve the car?
Rosberg: Yesterday we were in a difficult situation. We were not where we wanted to be and not where we were in the last couple of races, so it was all bit question marks and a bit surprising. But as a team, we really did a fantastic job to turn it around and to be absolute quickest today, it's great. That's just down to having done really really good work last night and this morning.
Q: Sebastian, can you explain to us why you saved all three sets of the harder tires? Do believe that there will be four pit stops tomorrow?
Vettel: To be honest with you, I don't know how many stops we have to do. I think you don't have to be a genius... one stop is impossible for everybody, two stops is impossible for most, I think, and then it's between three and four stops. I think we decided to do what we did because we think it's the best way. In qualifying we were not exactly sure how quick we would be. We didn't want to take any risks, we wanted to make sure that we finish in front and we believed that the soft tire was faster, or the medium tire, so we went for that in qualifying.
Q: (Carlos Miguel - La Gaceta) Fernando, are you afraid of Massa starting on hard tires in fourth position? And after your 1m 32.8s on hard, could it have been better to qualify on hard tires?
Alonso: Well, I think it's fantastic that Felipe is fourth. He finished sixth in qualifying but with (the penalties for) Webber and Hamilton he will be fourth, so it's better to start alongside Felipe than to start alongside Lewis to be honest. I really prefer this combination of results, that I should help the first corner attack and hopefully we can both do a good start and hopefully - with these different strategies that we have - can cover some more scenarios in the race than maybe wouldn't be in our control if we had the same tires. It's true that we felt comfortable on the hard tire in Q1. He also felt comfortable on the hard tires in Q1, but he chose them for Q3. I think they are very close together and I think that when you gain something in qualifying you can lose it in the race; when you lose in the race, you gain something in qualifying so it's a difficult trade-off but I'm extremely happy with our strategy and I'm extremely happy that we're third and fourth. Tomorrow, we both need to think about being on the podium. It will be really important for the Constructors' championship as well.

More Pics from Paris...and the Heroes Cast!
It seems like Hayden Panettiere and Milo Ventimiglia are taking Paris by storm. I hope that the two of them can dodge the rumors that they are together. It just seems in every clip they are holding each others hands or looking at each other in "that" way.
Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore holding hands!
Wow...Ashton Kutcher sure looks happy holding onto Demi Moore's hand! They have been married for almost two years now! Where has the time gone?
Audrina Partridge, Lauren Conrad and Whitney Port at the beach!
Lauren Conrad, Audrina Partridge and Whitney Port were all in Malibu to promote Lauren's new clothing line. They look like they are having a blast in the water. It was said that Brody Jenner was there, but not Heidi Montag or Spencer Pratt (or Speidi!!)!
Nick Bollea was street racing before he crashed
It is being said that Hulk Hogan's son, Nick Bollea aka Nick Hogan was street racing before he crashed. A woman said Hulk Hogan's son, 17-year old Nick Bollea, was racing another car just seconds before Nick lost control of his vehicle and crashed into a tree, critically injuring his passenger.
Frances Vitalis, a registered nurse from Plant City, said she saw Nick Bollea's Toyota Supra smash into a median and spin into a palm tree Sunday night. She said the Supra and a Dodge Viper were revving their engines and racing between traffic signals before the crash.
"We knew something was going to happen," said Vitalis, who was riding a motorcycle with a friend behind the cars. "You know that this is a bad situation and these guys are hotdogging."
This can't be a good sign!

A fun thing that we like to do on the internet is pass judgment on things that don't properly exist. A television show or film can't possibly be bad or good when it hasn't even been made yet, of course. But the people in Hollywood love making announcements about things and sometimes in just making announcements they strongly suggest that what they're about to do is pretty dumb. Like this Gotham show you may have heard about.
Deadline Hollywood writes:
It explores the origin stories of Commissioner James Gordon and the villains who made Gotham City famous. In Gotham, Gordon is still a detective with the Gotham City Police Department and has yet to meet Batman, who will not be part of the series.
Now, I'm someone who loves comics and has very strong opinions about them, but I am by no means a purist. I am not going to take this space to complain about why they're doing this instead of just adapting Gotham Central and making the fans squeal with glee. I'm interested in stories and how they work and what makes characters like Gordon and places like Gotham interesting, and my reading of this simple premise is that these folks don't get it.
Let's run with it, though. If Gotham does in fact take place before Batman shows up, then there's already a slight problem with this pitch. You see, what makes Batman's villains interesting is that they're Batman's villians. They are reflections and refractions of his very psyche, and more importantly they only exist because Batman does.
It's not like you have to be a comic book nerd to know this. Gordon himself says this when he talks about escalation at the end of Batman Begins. Batman is there to fight crime, the kind of crime that killed his parents: muggers and murderers and bank robbers.
See, it's Batman's presence that brings about your Jokers and Riddlers and Two-Faces, and if you have them in a show where Batman doesn't even exist yet, then you undermine not only the villains, but Batman as well. And what makes this decision even crazier is that you don't even have to have Batman appear. Ever. He can be an urban legend again, a boogeyman that the cops aren't even sure about.
Batman is what makes Gotham interesting. He's why we would want to see a show about cops in Gotham City. Without him, Gordon is just a good cop in a town full of bad ones. That in itself is interesting enough for a series, and might even get some traction given the overabundance of antihero protagonists we've had lately.
As much as I'm railing against it right now, Gotham could still be a good series. It could still tell good stories on its own merits. But those stories would be weighed down with the trappings of something familiar, an ever-present reminder that it's built on a character that it was designed to never even acknowledge.

Meet Our Students: Aggie Hanni
A monthly series to help you get to know the students of NLU, where they've come from and the things they've experienced on the journey toward their degree.
Pursuing Ph.D. in Community Psychology
What brought you to NLU?
I moved to the U.S. from Sokolka, Poland, in 2001. In this challenging transition during my adolescence, I was fortunate enough to meet the most inspiring mentors who guided me through the American educational system and who helped me realize my potential. One of those individuals, Dr. Helga Noice from Elmhurst College, had an especially great impact on my life as she introduced me to the world of research by inviting me to assist her in the work that she has been conducting for many years with older adults. Dr. Noice's passion and research success have influenced me to continue my education into graduate studies.
After finishing my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Elmhurst College, I began studying lifespan developmental psychology at West Virginia University. While at WVU, I began to feel the need to positively impact the lives of others more directly and readily. I valued the worked that I was involved in as a graduate student and a graduate teaching assistant; however, I also felt a degree of separation from the population that I was interested in benefiting the most due to the demands of a traditional graduate program. After much consideration, I decided to continue my studies at National Louis University as I was introduced to the field of community psychology and the option to use my research interests in cognition and aging more directly to improve the lives of older adults. While at NLU, Dr. Claudia Pitts, professor and program director of the Master of Arts in Psychology, invited me to volunteer with an early-onset Alzheimer's support group out of the Barrington Area Council on Aging. At the same time, Dr. Gale Stam, professor and chair of the Department of Psychology, provided me an exceptional guidance and support through my master's thesis. Those experiences combined with several similar opportunities enabled me to continue my passion for research and improving the lives of older adults.
What are you currently studying?
I am currently working toward a Ph.D. in Community Psychology. My main research interests are focused on maintaining and improving cognitive functioning susceptible to age-related decline in older adults.
Are you involved in any clubs or off-campus activities in your community?
I am a student member of several professional organizations: APA Div. 20 Adult Development and Aging and Div. 27 Society for Community Research and Action, as well as the American Society on Aging. I also volunteer with a local no-kill animal rescue organization, the American Animal Rescue Society out of Chicago.
How have you grown in your time here?
NLU helped me to reawaken my passion for serving others. This may sound a bit cliché, however, in my experiences, I have encountered numerous situations in which I felt a sense of despair. Many times I thought to myself that someone has to do something to improve the lives of others – especially those whose voices are yet to be heard. After becoming a part of the NLU family, I realized that I am that someone. Even as a single individual, I have the potential to make a difference and to inspire others to do the same.
What do you hope to do after college and how is NLU preparing you for that?
My main goal is to continue to have a positive impact on the well-being of the aging population. Recently, Dr. Suzette Fromm-Reed, professor and co-director of the Ph.D. in Community Psychology, introduced me to another aging researcher out of Mather LifeWays Institute on Aging, whose ongoing research projects may give me the opportunity to further professional connections and to hopefully open future opportunities for a career in research or academia.
What have you liked most about your experience at NLU so far?
I absolutely treasure the level of support and guidance from each and every faculty and staff member at NLU. Through my educational experiences, I came to realize that such consistency in serving and inspiring students is unique to this institution. NLU lives and breathes its mission and values in each and every encounter with students and its general community.
If you know of an NLU student at any level - bachelor's, master's, doctoral - who has an inspiring story to tell, nominate them for our monthly series by emailing Susan Barnett, Director of Communications, at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Zeke's Bacon Maple Grilled Cheese from 'Di Bruno Bros. House of Cheese'
This grilled cheese in Tenaya Darlington's new cheese cookbook was the creation of a longtime cheesemonger at Di Bruno Bros. Stacked high with salty bacon, earthy-sweet Cabot Clothbound Cheddar, and a fried egg—it's certainly not for the faint of heart. These show-off ingredients may catch your eye first, but it's the thinly sliced red onions and schmear of maple jelly (or syrup) that bring the sandwich into delicate balance, transforming it from a hung over mistake to a comforting lunch I'd easily make again.
Why I picked this recipe: Can't skip grilled cheese when cooking from a cheese book, and any sandwich with Cabot Clothbound Cheddar is sure to be a winner.
What worked: This sandwich hits each tantalizing sweet, salty, and fatty flavor note with gusto.
What didn't: No problems here.
Suggested tweaks: If you're cooking bacon for the express purpose of making this sandwich, you might as well take advantage of all of that bacon fat in the pan and use it to fry the grilled cheese. (Why use butter when you've got pork fat on hand?) I couldn't get my hands on maple jelly, but maple syrup worked just fine. The fried egg on top is awesome but not necessary; if you're not up for it, the sandwich is still great without it.

- Yield:Makes 1 sandwich
- Active time: 20 minutes
- Total time:20 minutes
- 2 large slices ciabatta or crusty white bread
- 2 tablespoons unslated butter, softened and divided
- 3 ounces Cabot Clothbound Cheddar, thinly sliced or grated
- 1 slice purple onion, separated into rings
- 3 slices bacon, cooked until crispy
- 2 to 3 teaspoons maple jelly (or substitute maple syrup)
- 1 large egg
Warm a skillet on low heat. Butter two slices of bread. Flip one over and layer cheese, onion, and bacon on top. Place it in the skillet, butter-side down.
Flip over the other slice of buttered bread and spoon maple jelly onto it. Set it on top of the open-faced sandwich in the skillet, jelly side down.
The secret to a good grilled cheese is cooking it on low so that the cheese melts, so don't rush things. After about 8 minutes, when the cheese is melted, flip the sandwich over. Don't worry if some of the cheese crumbles fall out. They'll crispen the edges of the bread.
Start a second skillet, a small one, over medium heat. Put a dab of butter into it, and when it melts, crack an egg into the pan. Cook it on medium heat for about 3 minutes for a sunny-side up egg. Flip it if you want to fry it completely.
Plate the grilled cheese and top it with the fried egg. If you want to pick up the sandwich with your hands, slide the egg inside.
Note: For a crowd, make these into open-faced sandwiches and toast them under the broiler. Add a sunny-side up egg to each one at the end. For best results, start with toasted bread; top it with bacon, onion, then cheese. Broil it until the cheese bubbles, then remove the pan from the broiler. Plate each sandwich, then add a spoonful of maple jelly, followed by a fried egg.

Hey, everyone, we all need to move to Lake Tahoe immediately. The reason we are all moving to Lake Tahoe is because every year, more than 100 sleepy bears hibernate under the houses of the people who live there. Adorable, sleepy bears! 100 of 'em!
This information comes to us from a local ABC news report that features plenty of great footage of sleepy-ass bears being real sleepy. If there is a Pulitzer Prize for bear news, this report should win it.
The best part is that there is a group called the Bear League that will come to your house and make sure that the bear sleeping underneath it is well-situated and safe. The Bear League will scare the bear out from under your house if you really want them to, but why would you do that? Are you some kind of goddamn monster? If you're lucky, your bear will eventually emerge with an adorable new cub in tow:
A couple of years ago, [Ann] Bryant helped a family that allowed a mother bear to stay under their home and give birth to a cub. The family was actually home when the cub was born. "It was right underneath their parlor where they would watch television and they heard him cry," Bryant said. The mother bear kept her cub under the house until he was a couple of months old then disappeared up into the forest.
See you guys in Tahoe.

The Grand Prairie Police Department gets interesting 911 calls, but this one will be talked about for days.
Police in the Dallas suburb received a 911 call just before 7:45 a.m. Friday about a kangaroo hopping westbound in the 2200 block of Prince John Drive.
Officers arrived but didn't catch a kangaroo -- the animal was, in fact, a wallaby.
U.S. & World
"I have been doing this for 20 years, and I will probably never see something like this again," Detective Lyle Gensler said.
John Richardson, the 911 caller, sent NBC 5 DFW a photo of the Wall-E the wallaby sitting at his front door.
Grand Prairie police said the wallaby was very excited, saying officers had a hard time controlling him while they waited for animal control to arrive. When asked how he knew how to catch a wallaby, Charles Munoz, the animal control officer, replied "Animal Planet" with a laugh.
The wallaby had tags and was returned to his owner unharmed.
"As far as we know, we don't have anything in our city ordinance that says you can't have one, " said Danielle Tate, animal services manager.
Wall-E's owners came to get him from animal control after friends saw on social media that he was loose. Their son-in-law said they believe someone tried to steal Wall-E because their fence was ripped.
Jessica Churchill, the owners' daughter, said her father gave the wallaby to her mother for Christmas after she said she wanted a kangaroo someday.
NBC 5's Julie Fine contributed to this report.

"Girls" actress and filmmaker Lena Dunham has chosen Random House for her literary debut.
The 26-year-old creator of the HBO comedy "Girls" inked a deal with the publishing house worth more than $3.5 million for her proposed book of essays "Not that Kind of Girl: A Young Woman Tells Your What She's Learned," The New York Times reported.
Dunham met with several publishers and decided to go with Random House over the weekend, the newspaper reported. Gina Centrello, president and publisher of the Random House Publishing Group, was involved in the negotiations.
U.S. & World
Editor-in-chief and publisher Susan Kamil said in a statement that Dunham's "skill on the page as a writer is remarkable —fresh, wise, so assured."
Last week, Slate reported that Dunham's literary representation was soliciting bids for the writer's book starting at $1 million. Random House bought the U.S. and Canadian rights to the book.
According to the Times, the proposed book will cover topics such as work, friendship, travel, sex, love and mortality.
Dunham, who in 2010 wrote, directed and starred in the independent film "Tiny Furniture," also said in a statement that she is looking forward to "produce the most thoughtful and personal book I can."

The world's urban centers are home to much of its population - and responsible for much of its emissions.
They are also the hubs where business and government can work together to put low carbon technologies in motion quickly.
That's why we helped New York City light up its streets with LEDs. And why we partnered to improve energy efficiency and delivery across Greater Mumbai.
We focused on the role of some of the world's biggest cities in demonstrating and delivering the public-private partnerships that will build up the low carbon economy.
Forward Chicago was a unique public-private partnership that brought together Chicago's corporate and non-profit communities to support the Chicago Climate Action Plan.
The Climate Group launched Forward Chicago in February 2009 in partnership with the City of Chicago and Chicago 2016. Together we engaged Chicago's leading businesses in public-private partnerships to deliver low carbon technologies across the city and help deliver on the Chicago Climate Action Plan.
The partnership helped realize Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley's commitment to making Chicago one of the US's greenest and most environmentally-friendly cities.
Participating companies worked with The Climate Group and local NGOs to implement LED pilot projects, smart building solutions, electric vehicle demonstrations and more.
These projects helped cut the city's emissions - while providing residents and businesses with new ways to adapt to climate change. These projects served as models for low carbon economic growth and neighborhood development.
By scaling up and communicating these efforts, Forward Chicago helped Mayor Daley realize Chicago's initial goal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions 25% below 1990 levels by 2020 and 80% by 2050.
Forward Chicago identified three major environmental challenges facing Chicago's neighborhoods: urban heat island effect, open space and greening and flooding. Our projects focused on the areas that experienced these challenges the most.
In addition to the City of Chicago and Chicago 2016, we worked with a number of partners across the city. These partners helped showcase and support the environmental commitments - existing and new - of each participating company.
|Center for Neighborhood Technology
|Friends of the Chicago River
|Chicago Gateway Green
|Chicago Public Schools
|Wetlands Initiative
|Environmental Law & Policy Center
The Climate Group and HSBC Climate Partnership collaborated on the Mumbai Energy Alliance (MEA).
Conceptualized by the International Institute for Energy Conservation (IIEC), the MEA focused on developing large-scale and collaborative energy efficiency projects in the world's most populous city. Its aim was to cut long-term energy costs and reduce emissions across the Greater Mumbai Region.
Launched in August 2009, the MEA's first focus was developing and delivering improvements in Mumbai's electricity market.
Scale attract finance. That's the basic idea behind the MEA.
Based on the pioneering model of the Cambridge Energy Alliance, the Alliance worked with a range of partners across the city to find innovative service delivery mechanisms to deliver energy efficiency programs.
The Alliance worked closely on these programs with the city's utilities and suppliers, as well as financial institutions, government, community-based organizations and the media. Together, we helped develop and deliver large-scale energy efficiency programs citywide – from LED street-lighting and efficient space conditioning to building smart grids and pumping the municipal water supply.
Visit the Mumbai Energy Alliance website for more information on this initiative.

The love-fest between Democratic Governor Jerry Brown and Democratic majorities in the state legislature officially ended on June 16, 2011 when Brown vetoed the budget.
After months of nuanced warnings about a threatened relationship from both camps, the struggle for power between Democrats in the two branches is now in the open and becoming uglier by the news cycle.
For the moment, Republicans couldn't be happier. Some are downright giddy over Democratic fratricide. Meanwhile, Californians once again are scratching their heads (and perhaps, in some cases, shaking fists) over the latest chapter of dysfunctional government in the not-so-Golden State.
What went wrong? The same thing that always goes wrong. The state has an incredibly weak party apparatus that undermines the traditional separation of powers concept found here as well as just about every place else.
Solid Democratic majorities in the legislature labored to overcome countless different approaches to the budget but still weren't able to satisfy Brown who complimented his fellow Democrats for a good try but told them that kicking the gimmick-filled can down the road wouldn't work this time.
So it's back to square one, only this time with a lot of anger on the part of legislative Democrats. Trust, never in large supply to begin with, has joined the endangered species list.
None of this should be too surprising to those who regularly watch Sacramento antics.
It wasn't so long ago that the now-humiliated Republican Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger entered Sacramento to a hero's welcome, only to fall into protracted battle with fellow legislative Republicans because of policy differences and leadership squabbles. Like Brown, Schwarzenegger believed that as governor, he was the leader of his party and that legislative Republicans should follow accordingly.
Predecessor Democrat Gray Davis earned similar enmity from fellow Democrats when in a candid moment, he pronounced that the job of the legislature was to implement the governor's vision. No wonder why so few legislative Democrats defended Davis in
the successful recall election that ended his career.
In other better organized states, partisans in both branches find ways to reach agreement on major issues and go forward.
But California's weak party system and surplus of egos discourages such accommodation.
So we are back to the beginning. Jerry Brown's future increasingly depends on wooing Republican support while legislative
Democrats fume over feeling marginalized and insignificant.
Who needs Wonderland when you have California? Things just get curiouser and curiouser.

HASSELT, BELGIUM—It's unlikely, right? A startup, potentially poised to disrupt both the European and American mobile markets, is located in a small town in eastern Belgium, only a 45-minute drive from the Dutch border.
But with any luck, Mobile Vikings just may give local providers a run for their money—with the goal of bringing the price of all mobile phone use to a drastically low level.
"We want the cost for the users to become zero," said Frank Bekkers, the company's founder and CEO.
Coincidentally, the city of Hasselt is well-known in Belgium for having introduced free public transport for local residents since 1996. From his sparsely decorated office in a corporate park outside the parish of Kiewit's semi-rural two-track train station—the animated, fast-talking Belgian outlined his company's new plan to bring down the cost of mobile data.
"We say somebody has to pay the bill. Our goal is that the users have to pay for the cost of using the network," he added. "But we believe that third-parties will be happy to pay the bill of the users if they buy stuff with them."
Starting in April 2013, Mobile Vikings will roll out a daily deal-style app to encourage users to support local business across Flanders (the Flemish-speaking region of Belgium). Eventually this will expand to all of Belgium. Similar to sites like Groupon or LivingSocial, the smartphone app incentivizes users to "check in" to a given location in exchange for discounts. Once the users make a purchase through the deal on the app, they will receive "Viking Points," which can be exchanged for top-up credit to be used to buy more voice minutes, text messages, or ideally, more mobile data. Ten Viking Points yields €1 of credit.
"We see that mobile Internet is something that everybody should have," he said. "We want to make this for free in the end. If you go to a shop and you buy something with a credit card, you don't have to pay for it using the credit card. [When you buy something,] you should get a small reward, you can use your phone for free. That's the business model we're trying to prove in Belgium. We strongly believe that this is the future."
Bekkers plans to travel to California this year to meet with Silicon Valley investors. With any luck, he hopes Mobile Vikings will expand to the United States a year from now. (Another coincidence: one of Hasselt's sister cities is Google's hometown, Mountain View, California.)
"If we can build the same success [that we have now] in Belgium, we would have three million customers in the United States," he said. Bekkers explained that his 160,000 customers currently represent approximately one percent of the crowded mobile market in Belgium. In the country, there are three large firms and 40 mobile virtual network operators (MVNO), like Mobile Vikings, who buy mobile service wholesale from larger providers.
Crossing borders
Back in 2009, the Belgian entrepreneur founded the company with just seven employees (now 53) on one simple premise: incumbent, large mobile operators charge too much for mobile data. And their customer service is terrible.
As an MVNO, Mobile Vikings contracts with the incumbent Dutch telco KPN to provide the actual mobile network infrastructure. The larger firm has a 45 percent stake in the startup.
In December 2012, Mobile Vikings expanded service to KPN's home country, the Netherlands, and has now become the first mobile provider to have free cross-border data roaming between two neighboring countries. But, that offer is scheduled to expire in mid-March 2013.
In the coming months, Mobile Vikings will have launch parties throughout the Netherlands and will be giving away a very useful Mobile Vikings-branded item for anyone gearing up for the rest of the European winter and early spring: rubber rain boots.
Having done zero marketing throughout its nearly four years of existence, the Belgian startup now has around 160,000 total customers according to its online counter featured prominently on its website. In another effort to keep costs down, its SIM cards can only be bought online, not from any shops. Its customer service is largely done through social media (Twitter and Facebook), and its customers are among the most tech-savvy—99 percent of the clientele, according to Bekkers, have smartphones.
The company's efforts seem to have worked: revenues now stand at €3 million ($4.08 million) monthly, and Mobile Vikings is looking for more funding. Bekkers said that with a new round of investment this year in Europe and the US, he hopes to raise €10 million ($13.63 million).
"We are quite proud that we have the lowest churn. We lose six percent on a yearly basis," he said, noting that most European prepaid MVNOs lose around 30 to 40 percent of their existing customer base annually.
Bekkers attributes this low rate to the savviness of his clientèle, as well as excellent customer service.
"Some people need to pay too much to be happy," he said.
Classic, Medium and Jumbo
Unlike in the United States, where most customers are on a postpaid contract (although that's starting to change), the majority of Europeans use a debit-style prepaid system. Customers add credit on an ad-hoc basis, paying only for the text messages and calls that they make. The United States is one of the few countries in the world where both parties (sending and receiving) pay for the call—in most countries, only the sending party pays.
Today, Mobile Vikings offers two basic plans. The first is a more typical European-style plan, with 2GB of mobile data and 1,000 texts, but with varying per-minute calling rates. At €15 ($20.45) per month ("Classic"), the calling rate is €0.24 ($0.32) per minute. The "Medium" plan at €25 ($34.08) per month with a calling rate of €0.20 ($0.27) per minute, and the "Jumbo" plan (€40 per month, or $54.52) sees the rate fall further: €0.14 ($0.19) per minute.
But most interestingly, the company has a second option that is entirely data-only, €12 ($16.36) per month for 2GB of data. Here customers can't send regular text messages or make voice calls—but of course they can do so using apps like Whatsapp, Skype, iMessage, and many others.
Bekkers told Ars that for now, about 20 percent of his customers choose the data-only plan. (Full disclosure: while reporting in Belgium over the last week, I became a paying Mobile Vikings customer, after having heard about the service in 2011 from Amelia Andersdotter, a Swedish Pirate Party member of the European Parliament. I happily used the Classic plan on my unlocked iPhone for the three days that I was in Belgium.)
So why wouldn't KPN, as a large telco, simply try this out on their own? Bekkers said MVNOs can be a way to target segmented portions of the market and expand their reach. Already, there are plenty of mobile brands that target grocery store shoppers in major supermarkets across Europe, like Carrefour, Aldi, and Tesco. Others, like Ay Yaldiz, target Turkish immigrants to various European countries (especially Germany), and offer attractive calling plans to Turkey and advertise in Turkish.
Admittedly, Mobile Vikings has an uphill battle.
"[Over the last six years], I have seen several MVNO business models appear and disappear," said Jessica Ekholm, a mobile industry analyst at Gartner Research.
"The most successful MVNOs have generally offered low cost-prepaid mobile services, and/or low-cost international calling for migrant workers and/or have had a strong retail presence and brand such as supermarkets. The UK supermarket Tesco for example also sell SIMs and handsets via their mobile MVNO Tesco Mobile. There have been a few data only MVNOs but none of them have reached any greater success."
"It was difficult for me to hold my horses, but now we have the best horses"
In Mobile Vikings' case, Bekkers is fully confident. As increasing numbers of mobile phone users have smartphones and are more interested in data rather than traditional voice plans, he believes KPN can learn from what he's doing.
"If we create this then we take the risk and if things go wrong it has no impact on their total model," he said.
Some analysts agree that Mobile Vikings (and its rivals) could point to future business models for other companies.
"Yes, it can be profitable if you can scale the business and learn to live with low margins," said Chetan Sharma, an independent mobile industry analyst. "It can be quite disruptive to the market. The Netherlands has already seen the tendency to just use data (KPN offers that) and younger generation pretty much demands such plans."
Bekkers adds that eventually, we'll all live in a completely data-driven mobile world, and that large telcos are simply moving too slow.
"The end of 2014, this is the moment that the shift will happen," he noted. "When I talk to telcos, I see that in middle management, [they get it,] and some in top see it too—they will have a problem [if they don't adapt]. It was difficult for me to hold my horses, but now we have the best horses, so we can go."

Here we are now, entertain us. Or don't: whatever, we're yours to mould in the palm of your collective hand, Radiohead; so giddy are we after the first time through of In Rainbows that our scrambled senses can only offer fractured initial thoughts. More to follow, no doubt; more from you, post here.
DiS's Gareth Dobson puts virtual pen to virtual paper after a cursory investigation of Radiohead's new LP, opening up the DiScussion to glean your opinions on the event release of the year.
'15 Steps'
Scattershot drumbeats, bright jazz tones and a good hint of unhinged rock. It's a bright and fairly auspicious start. It says: "Hey, we're still pretty rocking, but at the same time, we're not going to repeat none of that The Bends crap. We also really like Charles Mingus."
The heavy, distorted warped guitar attack continues. This sounds like a more mutant, militant cousin of 'The National Anthem'.
The one that all the Radiohead faithful have been waiting for, a lush ballad that's been knocking around for almost a decade. It's been left largely untinkered through the ages, the same simple torch vocals present, with newly added big-screen strings and synths. It's this album's 'Sail Me To The Moon', amidst the other noise chaos of the LP. Oh, and Thom can still sing a bit. And Radiohead still write the best 'ballads' around.
'Weird Fish / Arpeggi'
Peels of teardrop guitar, jazzy drums, and something that threatens to break out halfway through, huge and blissful, but never quite does, going somewhere slightly darker and twisted. Part lovely, wholly awesome.
'All I Need'
Ponderous, heavily driven along by bass-y piano and a solo Yorke vocal; things don't really materialise until late in the day, when a sprawl of noise hits the desk. Not the best song on the record by a long shot.
'Faust Arp'
A menacing two-minute acoustic near-interlude that sounds almost Nick Drake-esque. Live, we envision Thom Yorke playing guitar and singing his vocals hiding under the sound desk, surrounded by mutilated teddy bears.
One of the most played tracks on the 2006 'Just For Fun' world tour. Starting and ending with a waterfall of percussion, it sounds like a slowed down '90s dance song with its piano strings and lush orchestration. If Radiohead ever did listen to Klaxons…
'House of Cards'
"I don't want to be your friend, I just want to be your lover," croons Yorke in rather scary reference to a Texas breakthrough hit. Then we realise that it's the other way round, which is good. A song seemingly created only of atmospherics, cut-up sounds and warped strings. Which sounds remarkably awesome. Well-loved in the DiS office already
'Jigsaw Falling Into Place'
Jokingly, we initially wrote that "it sounds like 'Paranoid Android' being played in the style of Robert Johnson". And actually, it really doesn't. Think instead something more like a psychedelic 'I Might Be Wrong', that erupts into a brilliantly stringed crescendo.
The now-traditional 'weird closer': a plaintive piano ballad with a repeated and strangely exciting percussive 'train' effect. The main refrain makes us want to sing "ne-on bi-ble" over it. Good use of panning though, as it sounds like someone is passing a block of varnished wood through your head.
Well, that's the first-timer perspective on an album we are now playing again in the DiS office. You guys are probably a few steps ahead of us – we got in late, blame Ken – so do please DiScuss Radiohead's new baby below, and post your own reviews of In Rainbows. Click here for details on that.

I read the thread titled "What IS a hot flash?" but it just says what one is, not what one feels like. What all is involved in the actual symptom itself, meaning, what does it feel like? Is it the same for everyone? I get a hot feeling in my head sometimes and it's the weirdest thing. I kind of feel like I'm going to faint but I don't faint. Is that a hot flash? I get stinkin' hot at night sometimes and I figure that's a hot flash.
Any help is appreciated!

by Important Media Cross-Post Heather Carr.
Representative Henry Cuellar (who represents a crazy-shaped district in Texas that runs from the west side of San Antonio, around to the south of the city, then takes a sharp left to the Rio Grande above Laredo and down to McAllen) is the author of the idea.
Rep. Cuellar, Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) Commissioner Jeff Austin, and Mexican officials met with U.S. Secretary of Transportation Anthony Foxx to discuss the plan on Thursday.
The proposed high-speed rail line would run from San Antonio, Texas to Monterrey, Mexico through Laredo, Texas. The trip, which usually takes five hours to drive, not including stops, would take less than two hours on a high-speed train.
High-Speed Rail Between Monterrey and San Antonio
Monterrey is a wealthy industrial and business center in Mexico, and is home to the headquarters of many large Mexican and international corporations. In 2008, the GDP of the city was US$102 billion. More than four million people live in the Monterrey metropolitan area, and several naturally beautiful areas surround the city. Combined with the year-round gentle climate, this makes it attractive to outdoors enthusiasts as well.
San Antonio, at the other end of the proposed high-speed rail line, is similarly bustling with industry. The metro area is about half the size of Monterrey's, with a little over two million people. Caves, natural areas, and theme parks in the region make it a popular tourist destination. It's also very romantic, if you're looking for a nice place for a wedding or weekend getaway.
Funding for Texas High Speed Rail
The project would be a joint effort between the U.S. and Mexico. On the Mexican side, funds are already in place to build the infrastructure necessary for new high-rail lines. Construction is planned to begin in 2015 and be finished as early as 2018.
Funding for high-speed rail on the U.S. side is a little more uncertain, although Rep. Cuellar says he believes the proposed high-speed rail would be built using mostly private funds. In recent years, the south Texas economy has relied more and more on construction (and wind farms! We love the wind farms!). Building a high-speed rail line through the area would continue the current economic boom.
With trade between the U.S. and Mexico at about US$500 billion, high-speed rail makes good sense for both the local and national economy. But can a deep-red state like Texas take the lead on a light-blue infrastructure project like high-speed rail?

The Cubs are usually on the other end of these games, I like winning these games WAY more than losing them. The Cubs had nothing going all day as they were being no hit through five innings, then they started to chip away at Nationals starter Gio Gonzalez. The Cubs loaded the bases in the sixth only to come up empty, but it signaled that the Cubs might be ready to make things difficult for the Nats. Gonzalez rebounded nicely in the seventh inning, but Nats manager Davey Johnson decided to pull Gio after only 86 pitches on the day, the Cubs thank you Davey. The Cubs went to work in the eighth as they played some small ball. Navarro singled to lead off the eighth, he was then moved to second on a sac bunt by Barney. Travis Wood pinch ran for Navarro and made a great base running play to tag up on a foul ball behind first base to make it to third with two outs. Starlin Castro delivered as he took a Drew Storen pitch back up the middle for game tying base hit. The Cubs used some aggressiveness in the ninth to take the lead an ultimately win the game. They put the first two guys on in the ninth then Ryan Sweeney struck out, I know I'm not the only Cubs fan to think here we go again. But on the very next pitch Soriano and Borbon executed a double steal and the Cubs finally got a break. Kurt Suzuki's throw to third hit Welington Castillo's bat and went down the third base line allowing Soriano to score the game winning run. Kevin Gregg was perfect in the ninth to secure the Cubs win, and the series win over the Nats.
At The Plate – As I mentioned the Cubs had nothing going all day long, but woke up just in time. Starlin Castro was 1-for-3 with a walk, and a game tying RBI from the lead-off spot. Cody Ransom had a solid day from the two spot going 2-for-4 with two singles. Dioner Navarro was one of the few guys who were locked in at the plate, he was 2-for-3 in the win.
On The Mound – Another really solid start for Scott Feldman, he had to settle for a no decision but that was better than an undeserved loss. Feldman went six innings giving up one run on five hits while walking three and striking out six. Kyuji Fujikawa was solid, and healthy for the second time this series. Fujikawa worked a scoreless inning while striking out one, very encouraging to see his velocity up near 93-94 MPH. James Russell worked a scoreless eighth inning while walking one to earn his first win of the season. Kevin Gregg was lights out yet again, what else would you expect? Gregg worked a scoreless ninth while striking out two earning his sixth save of the season.
Up Next – The Cubs head home to start a three game series with the Colorado Rockies tomorrow night.
Game Highlights:
Soriano scores on a wild throw in the ninth
Gregg gets the save
Great catch by DeJesus
Castro's game tying single
Navarro gets the first Cubs hit
