Diplo & Skrillex team up for 'Jack U'
Listen to Diplo on iHeartRadio | Listen to Skrillex on iHeartRadio
Diplo and Skrillex are going to Jack U up - musically that is. The two are getting together to form a new project called "Jack U."
The lineup for the Mad Decent block party was revealed earlier this week, and among the impressive list of artists, which includes Dillon Francis, Baauer, Clockwork, and more, was Jack U. If you were wondering who "Jack U" were, to clear things up, Diplo tweeted:
Jack u... Means skrillex+diplo together..— dıpןo (@diplo) April 30, 2013
Can the fans even handle this awesomeness?! It was only a matter of time before these two got together for a project like this. Earlier this year, they launched a YouTube channel with A-Trak called "POTATOwillEATyou."
With the amazing talent that both Diplo and Skrillex each possess, you can only imagine what the end result will be. But, you won't have to wait for long, because the Mad Decent Block Party tour will kick off in July. For tickets, head to WWW.MADDECENTBLOCKPARTY.COM.

transcript:
It's tough being a clam.
They have no brains. They're popular in chowder. They won't set any speed records.
But they do have-a foot. Well, a foot that looks like a tongue, but sometimes, that's all you need.
Along the shallow coastline of the Atlantic, these surf clams spend their days filter feeding for plankton.
Some hide under the sand, only a siphon peeking out to feed.
They may have no brain, but they're not stupid.
Staying under the sand is a good survival strategy.
To counteract this, cow-nosed rays stir up the loose sand to expose the clams, then crush them with their powerful jaws.
Other hunters, like this oystercatcher, have a different method to get a half-shell platter.
They slice the muscles on this jackknife clam and pop open the shell.
They don't have eyes per se, but clams do have special photoreceptor cells.
A sudden change in the light means something bigger and hungrier is above them.
When they sense danger, they dig down.
The fastest clams can dig an inch per second.
Is it enough to keep this clam alive?
That's one clam that's as happy as...well, you get the idea.

I just recently got this color in the mail (thanks Mom & Dad!!) and it is fantastic! Rich Raspberry (6718) from ELF's mineral collection is my new favorite lip color.
I think I'm starting to get better as far as the sinus infection/cold goes. I still don't really have a voice, but I'd rather only be a little better than worse! The 15 hours of sleep I got last night helped, I'm sure!
It just so happens that this beautiful lipstick perfectly matches this thrifted tee I bought (thanks again for your advice, Maria), these new leggings from Forever 21 I bought on Wednesday and the belt I stole from Katrin! Yes, I tucked a shirt into my leggings. Get over it. Happy New Years Eve!

The 2012 medal tally for former UT athletes surpasses the school's previous record of eight medals, which was set at the 1996 Games in Atlanta. UT's total medal count places the university seventh among all schools and second among SEC programs for this year's Olympics.

As long as it comes with cool features which is a given (I hope). And Blue-ray, hopefully better.
It better be a good LCD with deep a*s black levels and high contrast ratio like Panasonic TV's otherwise I'm sticking with Panasonic.
Horse ****. You couldn't get 33% of the people in America to go to the drive-thru at Best Buy to pick up a FREE TV. Whoever did this stupid survey should be draun and quartered. What a stupid bunch of BS.
ill stick to my samsung displays thank you, from small monitors to the 52 inch i have samsung has never let me down...
I'll stick with Sony led!! Sony is the best! Then its Samsung
Me, I'll wait for the specs on it to come out before I make my choice, it will have to be awesome to beat my Samsung LED 6580 Series Smart TV.
This just in, 1 in 3 people will throw again several thousand dollars on an overpriced TV.
You will be buying a tv with full access to give your money to the apple store(itunes store). That will be the biggest reason for the release of this tv.
And that's fine if that's what you want from a tv. I'd personnally wait for the second or third release. Apple is famous for holding back to get you to buy every generation.

Land Vehicles
Tanks, APCs, and transport vehicles are the major ground vehicle types on the Battlefield, and they serve as both transport and offensive units. Jump into the driver seat of a team member's vehicle, man the guns, and enjoy the ride.
Sea Vehicles
In Battlefield 4, naval warfare is taken to the next level thanks to the many sea vehicles available. Pilot powerful attack boats and smaller water transport vehicles, and engage in combat with enemy ships or units on the coastline. Unpredictable weather and rolling oceans mean you are fighting the waves themselves as well as gaining new tactical options.
Air Vehicles
Deliver death from above with the jets and helicopters of Battlefield 4. Strap into one of these vehicles and provide air support with missiles, rockets, and cannons. Take part in intense dogfights with enemy pilots to assert air superiority.
The Assault class is the combat medic in the squad, often found at the frontlines of the action where you can heal and revive team mates. Their assault rifles are perfect for close quarters combat.
Focused on heavy weaponry and vehicles, the Engineer class is effective against enemy aircraft, boats and tanks. The Engineer is also capable of repairing your team's vehicles to make sure they don't get taken out of service.
The Support class has access to light machine guns, great for laying down suppressive fire to defend important areas. The Support can also provide team mates with essential ammuniton to keep them in the fight.
Specialized in sniping, the Recon class excels in spotting and taking out enemies from a distance. As Recon, you can also provide vital intel to your team by deploying motion sensors and other hi-tech gadgets.
Throw yourself into the all-out war of Battlefield 4's multiplayer. With support for 64 players and 7 unique game modes available on 10 vast maps, nothing compares to the scale and scope of Battlefield 4.
Commander Mode gives you a top-down perspective of the Battlefield, and lets you help your team by making strategic decisions. The Commander can deliver critical intelligence, manage support activity, and deploy powerful war assets.
Whether it's a skyscraper collapsing, a dam bursting, or a destroyer crashing into shore, the Battlefield 4 Levolution moments are breath-taking game-changers. Adapt to the new conditions as the Battlefield alters.

I go on people's blog and see them have all these followers on their blog, and me, I know I started a month ago but I only have 12 followers...Wonder if I am doing something wrong??
Feel free to visit!!! thanks...
Views: 883
Oh I forgot to mention Every Monday we have the Make My Morning blog hop sometimes as many as 90 bloggers :) So lots of amazing women for you to follow and who are happy to follow back :) So be sure to check every Monday ( sometimes I post early Sunday night ;) http://www.mompreneurmogul.com/
Hi this is wendy from http://my2preciousboys.blogspot.com . Don't get discourage it all takes time. I being blogging for a month too and I am putting myself outhere. I participate in the forums I leave comments in other blogs. I bearly have 15 followers. I am trying little by little it would come to you. Just promote yourself.
I agree with what some others have said: focus on doing it because you love it and for the exercise of writing and documenting your life. The rest will follow.
A lot has to do with the content and the relevance to the readers. As a new blog myself, I feel a lot has to do with the appearance of your blog, which I can see you haven't been blogging in a while, but don't lose confidence! If the layout is something that frustrates you, then I can help you with that. =) No problem! Things look a little scattered on your page, so you could definitely work on that. Furthermore, there are blog hops on bigger blogs to get your name out there.
If you have any other questions, feel free to check me out at olearyva.blogspot.com (my fun, crafty, foody, family friendly blog) or visit my other blog at kristinsgreenerlife.blogspot.com (a weight loss blog I just started).
I hope you can still be encouraged to blog through it all, because your content and the food pictures on your blog look soooo yummy!
I feel the same way...Follow me and Ill follow you....hehehe
I figured it out..im following
Hello Carmen! Yes, it does take a while but if you really like blogging...keep at it! I am now following:)
You can visit me at www.busymomibee.com and www.busymomibeeblogdesigns.com
Take Care!
I don't think it's that hard. I had followers very soon and media as well. I think it just takes a few tools that's all. Social media is a huge help. But just asking people to follow doesn't really work after 10 or so blogs are you really reading those? Probably not. So building a following is better then asking for followers ;)
Once you discover your voice then the people who love that voice will flock to you- but it doesn't have to take forever.
Also set up a newsletter. Those are people who want to hear what you have to say. I'm honored to have the followers that I do.
I completely understand! Mine is the same. I think it may just take awhile. I'm staying optimistic, and I believe that your numbers will increase soon. I will check out your page. I love reading blogs. Please check out mine also. Thanks!
I checked out your blog. It is a great blog. I am sure the you will get more people over time.
I only have one follower. I'm coming back to MBC so I can get some advice for improving my networking/PR.

Overall, the Tent Crusade Revival in Levy County was a wonderful success with 15 precious people making decisions for Jesus Christ.
We appreciate so much the four area churches who partnered with us to reach your city for Jesus. These churches provided excellent ministry on every level. They also set new "time records" for putting up and taking down the big tent.

Veteran Rancher and Veterinarian
Joins CVM
Dr. Bob Sager relocated with his border collie, Tess, to Columbia, where he has joined the MU College of Veterinary Medicine as a food animal clinician who teaches veterinary students ruminant nutrition.
Within the MU Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital, Bob Sager has decorated the walls of his office with two reminders of Montana. This first is a photograph depicting a stark winter landscape. A jack fence stretches along the edge of a pasture, marking the boundary between Sager's 300-acre ranch and a snow-covered plain that recedes into the foothills of the Crazy Mountains rising up in the distance. The second is the mounted head of Oscar, a bison bull that was culled from a herd in Yellowstone after testing positive for brucellosis.
Oscar is not only a memento of home and a conversation piece; he's also a reminder of a mishap from the long career in veterinary medicine that Sager, DVM, MS, brings to his new position at the College of Veterinary Medicine. In 1983, while vaccinating cattle against brucellosis, Sager accidentally stuck a needle in his own hand infecting himself with the same organism that led to Oscar's demise. The mishap nearly killed Sager too, but he has so far survived eight relapses of the disease that in humans stays persistent in the lymph nodes and blood cells.
"The attenuated vaccine mimics the disease in cattle," Sager said. "Cattle naturally develop immune status, but the amount of the organism I gave myself was overwhelming."
Despite a pronounced limp – a consequence of the illness – he dismisses the incident with a good-natured shrug as a hazard of spending a lifetime around cattle. Sager was born in south central Montana and raised on his parents' cattle ranch. He received a bachelor of science in animal nutrition at Montana State University and his DVM at Colorado State University. He then returned to Montana where he spent four years working as an associate in another veterinarian's practice before opening two of his own practices. He treated all species, but focused on beef cattle.
Sager spent more than three decades practicing veterinary medicine and with his wife raised seven children. But he said he always had a desire to return to school, citing a belief that when taking the Veterinarian's Oath, practitioners commit to a lifelong process of self-improvement and education. He became board certified with the American Board of Veterinary Practitioners in 2008, which further stimulated his interest in advancing his education. He sold his practice to two associates and in 2009 returned to Montana State. Last spring, he completed a master's degree in ruminant nutrition with an emphasis on micromineral nutrition as it affects the immune system of beef cattle.
Sager recently left the wide-open spaces of his home state to accept a position at MU as a food animal clinician working in the field and with the ambulatory service. He also lectures in ruminant nutrition. He hopes to further his own education by pursuing a PhD in the future.
"I mentored 243 students in my career and I had been missing that. I was blessed with this opportunity to work and have a second career in an area where I have a real passion. I'm hopeful I can help the departments and be of value teaching the students here," he said.
"Dr. Sager brings a wealth of food animal experience as a rancher and veterinarian, and his dual perspective will be beneficial to both our clients and students," said John R. Dodam, chairman of the College's Department of Veterinary Medicine and Surgery. "Just as important, Dr. Sager has great enthusiasm for agriculture, veterinary medicine and for teaching. His certification by the American Board of Veterinary Practitioners and recent completion of a graduate degree in ruminant nutrition are evidence of his passion for veterinary medicine and education. We are happy that he chose to join us."
Sager's desire to continually improve himself isn't limited to academics. He has competed for more than 30 years in national and international track and field individual throwing events, such as shot put, weight, discus and javelin, capturing two bronze World Masters Athletics medals. Not satisfied, in his mid-40s he stepped up his training and started throwing the hammer too so that he could also compete in the throws pentathlon. In addition to competing, he has served as a track and field official for 30 years and is certified to officiate in all throwing events, as well as weights and measures. Sager, who has officiated at two Olympic trials and numerous college competitions, has already provided assistance at MU's home track and field meets. "I'd like to become involved in activities throughout the campus," he said.
Sager jokes that when he came to Missouri he brought Oscar the bison, his books and a beloved border collie – leaving his wife behind to tend to their ranch and 100 head of cattle. However, he will return to Montana this spring, albeit briefly, to collect his master's degree. He delayed graduation in order to go through the ceremony at the same time as his son, who will also graduate from Montana State with a bachelor of science degree in sports nutrition.
"Seven children and none of them wanted to be a veterinarian," he said.

Section 106 Quick Links
The primary duty of the Historic Structures Review Section and the Archaeology Section is to process reviews of certain types of projects that have federal involvement, in order to insure that the work does not significantly and unnecessarily alter, damage, or destroy both above and below-ground historic and/or cultural resources in Indiana. Questions regarding the review process as it pertains to buildings, structures, objects, and districts should be directed to the Historic Structures Review Section of DHPA. Questions about the review of archaeological sites should be directed to the Archaeology Section, which performs a similar review for work potentially affecting below-ground resources.

Tribal Consultation/Tribal Historic Preservation Officers
A review under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act encourages, but does not mandate preservation. Sometimes there is no way for a needed project to proceed without harming historic properties. Section 106 review does, however, ensure that preservation values are factored into Federal agency planning and decisions. Because of Section 106, Federal agencies must assume responsibility for the consequences of their actions and be publicly accountable for their decisions.
Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended (16 U.S.C. §470f) and the federal regulations that implement Section 106 (36 C.F.R. Part 800) require that whenever any federal agency proposes to conduct, fund, license, grant a permit for, or otherwise approve an undertaking (a program, project, or activity) that by its nature has the potential to affect historic properties, the federal agency must conduct a review of the proposed project's effects in conjunction with the State Historic Preservation Officer and, under certain circumstances, with another federal agency, the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (the Council), and other interested individuals or organizations, called consulting parties. If there are historic properties that will be affected, then the federal agency must take into account the undertaking's effects on historic properties before approving the undertaking and give the Council a reasonable opportunity to comment on the federal agency's findings. Section 106 is not a permitting process; rather, it is a process of good faith consultation and comment.
An historic property is one that is either listed in or eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places. Determining whether or not a particular property is historic is part of the Section 106 review process. The necessity for conducting the Section 106 review is based on the existence of a federal connection to the undertaking and the hypothetical potential of the undertaking to affect historic properties, if any such properties exist within the area of potential effects (APE). For Section 106 to apply, it is not necessary that it be known at the outset whether or not there are historic properties within the APE.
By state law in Indiana, the director of the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is the State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO). The director of the DNR Division of Historic Preservation and Archaeology is the Deputy SHPO. Most of the day-to-day work of the Indiana SHPO is performed by the staff of the DNR DHPA. Within the DHPA, the Archaeology Section and the Historic Structures Review Section share the Section 106 review work.

By Bill Sheets Herald Writer
MUKILTEO — Mayor Joe Marine, seeking a third term, is facing his strongest electoral challenge yet in the city.
City Council members Jennifer Gregerson and Steve Schmalz are running for Marine's position.
Four years ago, Marine was challenged by Pat Smith, who did not hold city office and wasn't as well known around town as Gregerson or Schmalz.
Eight years ago, when first elected, Marine ran unopposed.
He says he deserves some credit for helping shepherd to fruition some long-debated and desired projects, namely the construction of the new Rosehill Community Center, a new City Hall and a makeover of Lighthouse Park.
"My whole theme is about leadership and results," he said.
From the perspectives of Gregerson and Schmalz, that's not enough.
They point to incidents such as an error that led to a meltdown of the city's information technology system last year, and the hiring of a public works director this year who had been accused of harassment in his previous job.
"I just think there are ways to reorganize and look at how we're managing the city," Gregerson said. At a comparatively young 35, she's still the longest-tenured member of the council, having been elected in 2003.
"We have a full-time city administrator and we spend a decent amount of money on the mayor's salary ($70,800) and we don't have an HR director," she said.
Shirley Engdahl, the mayor's executive assistant, also handles human resources duties.
Gregerson said she's not sure if she would cut the mayor's salary if she held that position.
She added that her experience in negotiating with firefighter unions regarding a possible merger with other departments would be an asset as mayor.
"I've worked hard to make sure we keep those options on the table," she said.
Schmalz, two years into his first term, questioned whether the city needs a full-time mayor.
He said he's running because he's heard from people around town that they don't believe they've been listened to by Mukilteo government.
"It's from talking to folks around the city and wanting to give them a voice," Schmalz said of his motivation to run.
He's also concerned about recent increases in property taxes, both for the city and the emergency medical services levy.
Along with paying debt on the new community center, "we've got all these things that are hitting the taxpayer all the time," he said. "I think we need a good manager of public funds. Let's get a balanced budget and start from there."
Schmalz, 49, said his business degree from Susquehanna University in Pennsylvania and experience helping his wife run the Art Workshop in town will help him guide city funds.
Gregerson said city property tax increases since 2009, totaling about 6 percent, preserved city services during the recession.
"We could have slashed and burned on salaries and laid people off but that's not my vision for our city," she said.
Marine said the IT incident, in which a huge chunk of city data was lost when the system overheated, was the result of a staff oversight. Most of the data was recovered and the city now contracts for IT services, saving about $40,000 a year, he said.
Marine, 50, has stood behind the hiring of public works director Rob McGaughey.
"I think the way we went about it was fine," he said. "We could have spent money on a firm that actually does that. We've done even a more extensive background check."
Regarding the executive department, "when I came on, it was very clear to me that we need a full-time mayor," said Marine, whose career has been in insurance.
Of Gregerson and Schmalz, Marine said, "I'll bet you neither of them will lower their salary if they're elected mayor."

USGS: Over 50 Aftershocks So Far, More To Come
The U.S. Geological Survey says California's North Bay area can expect aftershocks to continue after Sunday's big shaker centered south of Napa. The USGS has reported well over 50 aftershocks between magnitude 2.5 and 3.6 since yesterday's magnitude 6.0 earthquake.
The agency says dozens of aftershocks in the magnitude 3 to 5 range can be expected over the next seven days. While the agency predicts only a five to ten-percent chance of a larger than magnitude 6 quake, there is still about a 36-percent chance of a strong aftershock of magnitude 5.0 or more.
Over 200 people have been treated for injuries received in the early morning temblor. Governor Jerry Brown has issued a state of emergency due to the damage to water and gas mains, homes and other buildings, as well as roads and highways.

The Woods launches $11M campaign
October 11th, 2012 | SMWC
Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College embarks on an $11M campaign aimed at enriching the total college experience and increasing recruitment efforts by building a sports and recreation center, according to President Dottie L. King, Ph.D. The College kicks off the campaign on Friday, October 12, 2012, with a gala fundraiser for donors and friends that highlights opportunities for supporters to become involved. The College has raised $6.5 million of the funds needed to build the facility during the quiet phase of the campaign.
"This campaign will strengthen and sustain the things that make The Woods a rich liberal arts experience, and advance the initiatives and programs that will define our future," King explained. "With the early support of visionary and generous partners, we will realize a new facility that will live up to our aspirations and create opportunities for future generations."
The motto of the campaign, Pomeroy Pride, stresses the fundamental SMWC principles of educating the whole student – mind, body and spirit. Pomeroy Pride is the spirit of competition, individuality and teamwork. It is the power to create new directions, expand boundaries and make every experience, success or defeat, add to your character. Pomeroy Pride means surpassing your own expectations.
Named in memory of Sister Mary Joseph Pomeroy, SP '21, a cherished SMWC alumna and educator, the Pomeroy Pride campaign ignites Woods students, alums and friends with the passion to aim for higher standards on every path in life. Pomeroy Pride — inspiring us to carve our name into the world and to, above all else, never settle for less than extraordinary.
The overall objectives for the campaign:
- Support Great Student Athletes. SMWC athletes comprise about 30 percent of the campus student body. As a group, athletes maintain a higher GPA and are leaders on campus. These students deserve facilities that are commensurate to their achievements on the court, the field and in the classroom. They excel academically, while simultaneously competing nationally in the United States Collegiate Athletic Association (USCAA) and the Intercollegiate Horse Show Association (IHSA). SMWC currently offers seven sports: basketball, cross country, golf, soccer and softball, as well as hunt seat and western equestrian teams.
- Attract Students. A sports and recreation facility is a minimum expectation for today's prospective students. The new facility will attract more young women interested in strong academics partnered with extracurricular activities. These programs, such as fitness and wellness programs, cheering at home games and intramural sports, will enrich the college experience for both the athlete and non-athlete.
- Additional Athletic Teams and Address the Issues of Health and Wellness. The building will allow the campus to grow by introducing new sports, such as volleyball, which will bring additional students. This facility will also better position the College to begin addressing the issues of health and wellness with students, faculty, staff and the surrounding community.
- Provide Revenue. The facility will provide opportunities for young people to attend summer sports camps, while providing auxiliary revenue for The Woods and increased economic opportunities for Terre Haute.
King acknowledges that the facility is an investment in the future of the institution as well as the community. "This campaign creates more than a building. It creates a legacy growing with energy, vitality and vision for The Woods and the Wabash Valley."
The building site is tentatively planned for the west edge of campus, behind the Mary and Andy Rooney Library, adjacent to the Mary O. Goodwin Guest House. Building specifics include:
- 36,000 square feet of space
- An NCAA regulation-sized gym seating approximately 1,000 spectators
- Practice gym for auxiliary revenue and intramural sports
- 2,000 sq. ft. lobby – flexible space for functions and activities
- Locker rooms, a training room, a fitness room and ample storage space
- Offices for a growing athletic program, and
- Silver LEED environmental certification.

Larsen, Browning Earn Fab-50 Honors
By SUU Strategic Communication

Larsen, a 6-foot-4, 300-pound senior from Draper, Utah (Jordan HS) led the Thunderbirds with 14.0 tackles for loss and was second on the squad with 6.5 sacks in 2012. He ranked second in the Big Sky and 27th in the nation in TFLs, and sixth in the BSC and 45th in the country in sacks while regularly drawing double-teams from opposing offenses. He finished the season with 48 total tackles, including a career-high 11 at Montana. Larsen, a first-team all-Big Sky Conference performer, earned first-team All-America honors from The Associated Press and from the Sports Network this past season.
Browning, a 5-foot-11, 215-pound linebacker from Camas, Wash. (Union HS) - who was named the Newcomer of the Year in the Big Sky - led the nation's freshman in tackles this past season with 11.6 per game. He also led the Thunderbirds and the Big Sky with 116 total tackles. His per-game average ranked second in the Big Sky and seventh in the nation, overall. He had seven games with 10 or more tackles, including an 18-tackle performance at Montana and 15-tackle tallies against Montana State and Eastern Washington. The 18 tackles are the second-most in a game by an SUU freshman during its NCAA era. Browning was also a finalist for the 2012 Jerry Rice Award, which honors the top freshman in the country.
The duo mark Southern Utah's first representatives on the Fabulous Fifty squad since Tysson Poots was named to the squad for the second straight year in 2010.

How Did Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie Pull off Secret Wedding?
Photo: Getty Images
By Marc Inocencio
Hollywood power couple Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt were married in the French hamlet of Correns on Saturday, a spokesperson for the couple says.
Only friends and family were invited to the private wedding, in which Angelina's two eldest sons Maddox and Pax walked her down the aisle, Zahara and Vivienne were the flower girls, and Shiloh and Knox served as the ring bearers, according to the Associated Press.
On Air with Ryan Seacrest dialed in E! News Ken Baker to figure out how the Mr. and Mrs. Smith actors pulled off the stealth nuptials.
"When you break it down, its pretty clear how they really kept it a secret," he says, explaining how the media had been tracking the Jolie-Pitt wedding since their engagement two years ago. "In a way, they kind of just wore everyone down."
The entertainment reporter also revealed that the E! News team predicted the secret wedding a few weeks in advance.
"We talked about this a few weeks ago," he said. "We said, 'Look, if they're going to get married this summer, it could be around Labor Day, it could be around the end of the summer.' So it was on our radar for sure."
Ryan and Ellen K. also mentioned the possibility that Brad and Angelina used the buzz surrounding the back-to-back MTV Video Music Awards and Emmys to fly under the radar.
Earlier this year, Brad revealed told the Hollywood Reporter in an interview that he intended to marry Angelina, but not until same-sex marriage is legalized.
"We'd actually like to," he says of his nine-year partner. "And it seems to mean more and more to our kids. We made this declaration some time ago that we weren't going to do it till everyone can. But I don't think we'll be able to hold out. It means so much to my kids, and they ask a lot. And it means something to me, too, to make that kind of commitment."
This marks the second wedding for the Fight Club actor, who previous wed Jennifer Aniston in 2000. Angelina was married to Jonny Lee Miller before ending their three-year marriage in the late '90s. She also tied the knot with Billy Bob Thornton for three years before calling it quits in 2003.

Just when Californians are finally feeling upbeat again about where the state is heading, here comes a fresh downer: The federal sequester, as the automatic cuts are called, set to kick in this week could cost California billions of dollars and hundreds of thousands of jobs while making most people's daily lives more difficult.
The state's budget may be balanced and the economy improving, but unless congressional Republicans and President Barack Obama reach a last-minute deal, the federal government on Friday will begin slashing $85 billion from a $3.6 trillion budget over the seven-month period spanning March to September, including 8 percent from the Pentagon and about 5 percent from domestic agency operating budgets.
In California, the cuts will cost the Golden State 225,000 current and future jobs, about $670 million annually in federal grants, plus $3.3 billion in military and defense revenue, lawmakers and experts estimate.
The University of California is anticipating a 5 percent hit to its $3.3 billion federally funded research program as well as its $1.5 billion in U.S. student aid money, on top of federal cuts enacted last year. School districts around the state will also undergo significant cuts.
But that's not all. Airports face more delays. Grocery stores could have less meat thanks to fewer inspections. There will be fewer federal agents in such agencies as the FBI and Drug Enforcement Administration, on California's streets. You'll wait longer calling 1-800 numbers for agencies like the IRS and Social Security. Fewer Meals on Wheels deliveries will be made.
"We're talking about tremendous, immediate impacts that every single American will experience," said Rep. Alan Lowenthal, D-Long Beach.
"This sends the wrong signal at this moment."
According to Long Beach Airport Director Mario Rodriguez, the effects of the sequester on air travel could be particularly dire, with billions of dollars in productivity lost and bottle-necked commerce.
Rodriguez, speaking at a panel discussion last week, described the airspace above the United States as a "spider web" where 50,000 aircraft are in flight at any given time ferrying passengers and cargo to 499 commercial airports.
Fewer air traffic controllers will reduce that capacity as officials scale back to keep the skies safe, said Rodriguez.
"In other words, they'll take the six-lane highway and turn it into a four-lane highway," he said.
The cuts loom as a Field Poll last week showed that for the first time in six years, a majority of Californians thought the state was on the right track. This year California balanced its budget for the first time since before the Great Recession.
The sequester was planned in 2011 as a backstop in case politicians could not reduce the nation's long-term debt budget by making more prudent cuts and raising revenue, and so far they haven't. In all, the sequester would slice $1.2 trillion off the federal deficit over the next decade.
Many political observers are quick to point out that the proposed cuts, especially those that hit the middle class, were explicitly designed to get politicians to agree to a deal to avert the crisis. The real impact could be lessened, especially if there is public backlash against Congress once the cuts go into effect Friday.
Still, research institutions and universities are expecting less money.
"It's going to be severe," said Gary Falle, UC's associate vice president for federal government relations. "Parents and families are making decisions on where they'll go to school based on where student aid will be.
"As this uncertainty continues, it's pretty hard to make those kinds of decisions."
Local school districts will receive less cash, with the California Department of Education estimating that the federal government will redirect about 5.9 percent of funds. The Long Beach Unified School District received $65.6 million in federal aid this fiscal year, while the Los Angeles Unified School District received $934 million, according to budget documents.
LBUSD Board of Education President Felton Williams said the cutbacks are more difficult to handle because the district is already five months into its year.
"You're really doubling up with how much damage is being done with the cuts," Williams said.
Lowenthal, a freshman congressman, said the cascading effects of the reductions on all aspects of the economy threaten to blunt hard-earned gains in the job market and consumer purchasing following years of stagnation.
"This is going to have a devastating impact on our recovery," said Lowenthal. "We're potentially running a risk of just stalling again."
A Pew Research Center poll issued last week found that 76 percent of Americans say that Obama and Congress should focus on a combination of spending cuts and tax increases to reduce the budget deficit. Only 19 percent agreed tax hikes should be excluded - the current Republican position.
Another Pew poll released Friday showed that even though Americans may agree cuts should be made, they are far from a consensus on how to do it.
The survey found a majority of those surveyed wanted to either increase spending or maintain it at current levels for 18 of 19 programs that included unemployment aid, scientific research and infrastructure, among others.
The only area that survey-takers even came close to agreement on reductions was aid to the needy overseas, with 48 percent supporting a decrease, 28 percent saying spending should remain the same and 21 percent wanting to raise the amount.
With sequestration looming, Sen. Barbara Boxer and other Democrats blamed the GOP's obstinance on raising taxes for the crisis.
"The American people believe in more efficient government," Boxer said at an event in Los Angeles last week, "but they don't want indiscriminate cuts that hurt our families and threaten our economy."
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

How Much Do Educators Spend Out-Of-Pocket Each Year? Hint: It's More Than 9 Figures
Photo by Flickr user KristinNador
In June, the National School Supply and Equipment Association (NSSEA) published their annual study about teachers' out-of-pocket spending, and the results may shock some.
The study found that, on average, teachers spent $485 from their own pockets on basic school supplies throughout the last school year.
It is estimated that, as a whole, public school educators spent $1.6 billion on educational materials and supplies for their classrooms. This number comes from the total estimated $3.2 billion spent on education products, which leaves educators swallowing more than half the costs.
Share your thoughts: do these results surprise you?
Right now, you can help an educator receive the materials they need by funding a project on DonorsChoose.org. We'll even match any donation you make to a NEA members' project. Make your dollars go twice as far by giving today!

China Plans Fifth Manned Space Mission as U.S. Still Lacks Domestic Option

Dragon may eventually provide solace to U.S. manned space efforts
While highly anecdotal, an example of the arguably shifting balance of global power can be observed in the fact that China is now regularly sending astronauts into space, while the U.S. is, for the most part,
in terms of
manned space flight
I. China Continues Manned Flight Progress
is planning
a fifth manned space mission. Slotted for June 2013, the mission will test an upgraded capsule-type spacecraft, which will be replacing the proven 3-passenger Shenzhou 9.
While crude by space-plane standards, the Shenzhou 9 performed remarkably well, safely ferrying Chinese astronauts (
aka "taikonauts"
) into orbit. In June, China sent its first female Taikonaut -- Liu Yang -- into space. She helped the Shenzhou 9 spacecraft
manually dock
with an orbiting spacelab, which launched in 2011.

China is also mastering the art of unmanned space flight. In June, its Shenzhou 8 automated capsule-orbiter successfully docked with the
Tiangong-1 space lab
, a Chinese orbiting laboratory that is performing zero gravity experiments on live fish, plants, worms, bacteria, and human cancer cells.
China has plans for an orbiting space station, which will go operation by 2020, and longer term plans of establishing a moon colony. China initially considered joining the
International Space Station
(ISS) effort, but amidst
trade tensions
with the U.S., is currently pursuing plans for its own private rival station.
The Chinese space station is expected to weigh around 60 tons, versus the much larger 400-ton ISS. One major difference in the concept art sketches of the upcoming station, is a reduced solar panel footprint, this hints that the Chinese station may feature less power electronics.

The unnamed upcoming station will feature two lab modules, a 20-ton central habitation module, and a pair of ports to allow a robotic supply capsule and a manned capsule to simultaneously be docked.
II. Shenzhou vs. Dragon vs. Soyuz vs. Apollo D-2
Shenzhou capsules
are similar to the General Electric Comp.'s (
) Apollo mission proposal (D-2), which was similar to the later Russian Soyuz capsule. It should be noted that GE's D-2, Russia's Soyuz, and China's Shenzhou all have slightly different dimensions, suggesting that while they share a common design direction, none of the capsules is a direct "clone" or "copy" of the other [

America is currently ferrying astronauts to and from the ISS in Soyuz capsules. It is finally expected to regain its own domestic launch capability sometime between 2015 and 2017, when SpaceX (Space Exploration Technologies Comp.) -- Elon Musk's private startup -- finishes
its human-rated variant of the Dragon capsule
With both China and the U.S. pursuing capsule-based designs, it's interesting to compare and contrast the differences. The main difference is that the Dragon lacks a forward orbital module; limiting the amount of time the crew can spending in orbit. The orbital and reentry modules cumulatively have 14 cubic meters of habitable space (8 in the unshielded orbital module, 6 from the shielded reentry module), versus approximately 10 cubic meters for the Dragon in the single shielded reentry module.

The manned variant of the Dragon will be carried aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 v1.1 rocket (a refreshed version of the current Falcon 9 v1.0) with 5.88 Mega-Newtons of initial thrust. Comparatively the Shenzhou capsules are delivered aboard a Long March 2F rocket, which provides 5.923 Mega-Newtons of thrust (reportedly) upon takeoff.
It's interesting to observe how that despite the differences in design, the final amount of thrust delivered by the rockets is quite similar.
"If you look at the last five years, if you look at what major innovations have occurred in computing technology, every single one of them came from AMD. Not a single innovation came from Intel." -- AMD CEO Hector Ruiz in 2007
