Cooking Pot Can Produce 5, 10 Volts of Electricity for Device Charging

The PowerPot is a thermoelectric generator
A student startup from Utah has created a cooking pot that is capable of
generating power
through thermoelectricity.
Former University of Utah students David Toledo and Paul Slusser created a startup called Power Practical, which offers their cooking pot invention --
the PowerPot
The PowerPot looks like a regular cooking pot that can be used on a camping trip, but it can actually turn heat and water into electricity. The PowerPot captures electrons traveling from the heated pot to the cooler water contained inside, and the greater the difference in temperature, the more electricity produced.
The team invented the PowerPot in 2008 when they bought a thermoelectric cooling device from eBay (they were learning about thermoelectricity at the time in class). They proceeded to take it apart and try to improve it, and decided to create something that could generate power.
They built the first prototype months later using an old cooking pot, but after a few hiccups, both students moved on to other projects (and schools/careers).
Toledo later found a cheap power regulator designed for hobbyists, which was exactly what they needed to make their PowerPot useful by providing a steady power stream.
Power Practical has already shipped over 1,000 PowerPots and is offering them in select retailers like Sportsman's Warehouse. The startup managed to generate $126,000 in funding on Kickstarter, and has since raised an additional $750,000 in seed funding.
"We knew we were on to something when we got requests from around the world and more than doubled our goal during our Kickstarter campaign," said Toledo. "We just shipped all of those orders, and we are quickly getting our product into more stores."
Power Practical has different kinds of PowerPots for different purposes. For instance, there's the PowerPot V, which weighs less than a pound and can produce 5 volts, and the PowerPot X, which produces 10 volts.
Not only can these PowerPots be used to
charge smartphones
, tablets and other electronic devices on camping trips, but they can also be used in emergency kits and eventually be sent to developing countries, where smartphones are becoming more and more present (yet charging is a nuisance).
The PowerPot V costs $149 while the PowerPot X costs $249.

PRINCETON, N.J. -- In 2013, Princeton junior
Mike Ford was a force for the Tigers on the mound,
at the plate and in the field. The Ivy League coaches recognized
his stellar season, as they voted him not only Player of the Year,
but also Pitcher of the Year.
Never before has one player earned both Player and Pitcher of the Year honors, let alone in the same season. To add to his accomplishments, Ford (Belle Mead, N.J.) also was unanimously voted first-team All-Ivy as both a pitcher and a first baseman, the second player in Ivy history to do so, joining Harvard's Trey Hendricks, who was a unanimous selection pitcher and first base in 2004. Army's Shannon Smith was also a double first-team All-Ivy/EIBL selection in 1990, as a pitcher and first baseman as well, but not unanimously.
Ford earns his first career first-team All-Ivy honors after being named to the second team as a pitcher and first baseman in 2011 and as a pitcher in 2012. In 2013, Ford led his team in home runs (six) and RBI (38) while batting .320 (47-of-147) with 25 runs and nine doubles. He posted a .990 fielding percentage, with just three errors all year, and then topped his season off with a 6-0 record on the mound, a 0.98 ERA and 32 strikeouts, while holding opponents to .191 at the plate.
In Ivy League play, Ford fell just short of the triple crown, as he led the League with five home runs and 22 RBI but finished second in batting average, hitting .394 (28-of-71), trailing his teammate Alec Keller, who batted .395 (32-of-81). Ford earned two weekly awards in 2013, as he was named Player of the Week on April 9 and Pitcher of the Week on April 30.
Ford takes home his third major award, as he was named Rookie of the Year in 2011, which makes him the only player in Ivy League history to earn all three postseason honors. He becomes the first Tiger to be named Player of the Year and the third Princeton pitcher to earn Pitcher of the Year, joining Ryan Quillian (2001) and Zak Hermans (2012).
In his freshman campaign, all Dartmouth designated hitter Joe Purritano (Woodcliff Lake, N.J.) did was hit .343 (37-of-108) with 26 runs, six doubles, three triples, five home runs and 30 RBI. He then raised his level of play in Ivy contests, ranking fourth in the League in batting average (.368, 21-of-57) with 14 runs, one double, two triples, five home runs and 18 RBI while slugging an Ivy-best .719.
Purritano, a unanimous selection for first-team All-Ivy DH, earned one Player of the Week and two Rookie of the Week honors this season en route to becoming the first Big Green Rookie of the Year since Chris O'Dowd shared the award with Columbia's Dario Pizzano in 2010 and Dartmouth's first outright Rookie of the Year since Joe Sclafani in 2009.
FIRST-TEAM All-IVY
Dartmouth led the way with eight first team selections, the highest single-season total in League history, surpassing the previous mark of six, set by Yale in 1994 and matched by Princeton in 2000.
Big Green batterymates Michael Johnson (Sr., P – Georgetown, Mass.) and Matt MacDowell (So., C – Falmouth, Maine) were joined on the first team by sophomore reliever Thomas Olson (Manhattan, Kan.), a pair of sophomore infielders in second baseman Matt Parisi (Clermont, Fla.) and third baseman Nick Lombardi (Saugus, Calif.) and outfielders Ennis Coble (Sr. – Atlanta) and Jeff Keller (Jr. – Atherton, Calif.). Keller and Purritano were each unanimous selections.
Johnson earns his first career All-Ivy honor after leading the Big Green pitching staff with a 7-0 record and a 1.82 ERA. In Ivy contests, Johnson ranked fourth in the League with a 1.02 ERA, while going 4-0 with 23 strikeouts. Opposing Ivy batters hit just .185 against him.
MacDowell also takes home his first career All-Ivy accolade. The sophomore catcher batted .301 (34-of-113) with 13 runs, six doubles, two triples, two home runs and 26 RBI, while posting a fielding percentage of .981 with just four errors all season.
Olson, who was named second-team All-Ivy last year as a rookie, was stellar out of the pen, ranking second in the League with six saves while going 2-0 with a team-best 1.15 ERA.
Parisi and Lombardi earn their first career All-Ivy honors. Parisi led the Big Green in hits (55), while batting .329 on the year. He scored 31 runs and recorded 12 doubles, one triple, one home run and 15 RBI. Defensively, the sophomore posted a team-best 102 assists and finished with a .967 fielding percentage. Lombardi, meanwhile, hit .294 (42-of-143) with 26 runs, 12 doubles, one triple, four home runs and 39 RBI.
In the outfield, Keller led the team in batting average (.369, 52-of-141), runs (39), doubles (21), triples (four), home runs (six) and RBI (41) and was a two-time Player of the Week. He earns his first career first-team honor, as he was named honorable mention last season. Coble scored 33 times and knocked in 22 more, batted .325 (49-of-151) and swiped a team-best 11 bases.
Ivy League Championship Series winner Columbia placed three on the first team, including a pair of unanimous selections in junior pitcher David Speer (Westport, Conn.) and junior shortstop Aaron Silbar (Jacksonville, Fla.). They were joined on the first team by sophomore outfielder Jordan Serena (Parker, Colo.)
Speer posted five complete games, a 6-2 record and a 2.17 ERA while striking out a League-best 63 batters. He takes home his first career All-Ivy honor, as does Silbar, who batted .316 (49-of-155) with 11 doubles and 20 RBI. Serena led the League with 27 stolen bases, ranking 15th in the nation. He was only caught stealing once all season.
Ford was not the only Tiger to be unanimously selected first-team All-Ivy, as he was joined by junior outfielder Alec Keller (Richmond, Va.), who takes home his second-straight All-Ivy honor after being named first team utility last season. Keller ranked second in the League with a .378 batting average overall (54-of-143), but earned the Charles H. Blair Bat award after batting .395 in League play (32-of-81). He is Princeton's first Blair Bat recipient since Sal Iacono in 2007.
Penn put a pair on the first team in junior Rick Brebner (Langhorne, Pa.) and senior outfielder Ryan Deitrich (Collegeville, Pa.). Brebner, who recorded just five errors all season while seeing action at first base, second base, third base and in the outfield, was a unanimous selection. Deitrich led the League in overall batting average, hitting .382 (55-of-144), en route to his second-straight All-Ivy award after earning second-team honors last season.
Yale senior catcher Chris Piwinski (Folsom, Calif.) rounds out the first team. Piwinski takes home his first career All-Ivy accolade after a season in which he posted a .981 fielding percentage, with just four errors all season. He raised his play in Ivy action, batting .339 (20-of-59) with six runs, a double and three RBI, while recording a .992 fielding percentage.
Brown, Cornell and Harvard were all represented on the second team, as the three teams combined for six spots. Bears sophomore outfielder Will Marcal (Lexington, Mass.) earns his second-straight All-Ivy honor after being named honorable mention last year, while Crimson teammates Tanner Anderson (So., 2B – Tampa, Fla.) and Mike Martin (So., SS – Buffalo Grove, Ill.) each receive their first career postseason awards. Cornell freshman pitcher Michael Byrne (Vienna, Va.) and sophomore outfielder JD Whetsel (Liberty Twp., Ohio) also earned second team honors.

Hello everyone,
I have been playing around with backtrack and its tools for already 2 years. I am now working for an antivirus/anti malware company and I wanted to show my bosses how easy it is to obfuscate a reverse_tcp payload.
I used msfpayload with "C" option to obtain meterpreter reverse_tcp in HEX. Then i wrote my own program in C that contains the binary code of the reverse_shell and executes it in memory using void pointers - " ((void(*)(void))buf2)(); " , where buf2 is an array of unsigned chars, containing the payload.
The problem:
Whenever I execute the payload, if the connection fails, the new thread dedicated for the payload kills the whole process and the program dies.
I want to make sure that even if the payload fails, the program will continue running and re-try to execute it (sort of a persistence).
*Note - I have noticed that this only happens if the machine that runs the multi/handler is UP. If it is not up, then the reverse_tcp just times out and dies without killing the process. But if the machine running the multi/handler is up with NO handler bind to it - the reverse_tcp dies and kills my program.
Please give me some guidelines regarding my problem. I do not want BT community to do my job (that's why I am not posting any code), I just want to find out where the problem might be.
Best Regards,
Alex K.

Over the course of his time on Seven's The X Factor two things can be said for Guy Sebastian. He has proved himself to be a good mentor and judge ... and his hair has shrunk alarmingly from it's once afro status.
Now, with the news that Sebastian will not return to The X Factor this year after three series, in order to concentrate this year on his music career, rumours are coming thick and fast as to who will take his seat.
Having recently finished the audition tour for this year's The X Factor season, the producers are now turning their minds to replacing Sebastian and co-host Mel B who has also left the show to become a judge on America's Got Talent.
One name strongly linked with replacing Sebastian - and his afro - is Redfoo (Stefan Kendal Gordy) star of music duo LMFAO, who have had huge success in Australia with singles such as Party Rock Anthem, Champagne Showers and Sexy and I Know It.
One report goes as far as to claim Seven has "all but signed on the dotted line" with Redfoo, who has made several trips to Australia in the last 12 months.
Dannii Minogue leads the field rumoured to be filling the other chair, although she has just flown back to England to act as a judge on Britain and Ireland's Next Top Model.
Some other names being creatively linked to the show by radio networks include Ke$ha, Miley Cyrus, Music Producer Timbaland and Nelly Furtado.

When you have just one chance to land Mars' biggest rover, you have to practice - a lot. So, how do you copy a high-speed descent on Mars? Strap special sensors to an F/A-18 jet at NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center. Fly as high as 100 of the world's tallest roller coasters stacked on top of each other. As the plane turns and spins like the spacecraft, measure the temperature, pressure, and vibration.
These thrilling test rides help engineers prepare for similar flights next spring to test the landing radar. The radar will measure the spacecraft's speed and altitude as it makes a safe touchdown. Then, the F/A-18 will dive to the ground from 50,000 feet. This nosedive will mimic the spacecraft's entry, descent, and landing on Mars. Not for the faint-of-heart, these are critical tests for the heart-pounding real thing!

By James McCusker Herald Columnist
Robert Frank believes that when it comes to health care systems we could learn a lot from Sweden. He is probably right, but exactly what we should learn isn't immediately clear.
Professor Frank is an economist who teaches at Cornell University's Johnson Graduate School of Management in Ithaca, N.Y. (and no relation of Herald City Editor Robert Frank). He is also the author of "The Winner-Take-All Society," far and away the best and most readable analysis of how income distribution got so lopsided in our country.
In a recent essay he described the Swedish health care system as more efficient — and, of course, it is. Based on measureable outcomes such as life expectancy and infant mortality the system in Sweden outperforms ours. Moreover, its annual cost per person less than half of what it is in our country.
Based on Frank's accurate description, we wouldn't need a free chicken dinner and a compulsory sales presentation to buy in. Our first reaction is, "Where do we sign?" How could we possibly pass up a chance to get a better system at half the cost?
The truth is that he might be right, and the Swedish system might work here — but as the line in the Randy Newman song goes, "I don't think so."
We cannot simply import and install the Swedish system transmitting it to everyone's computer like the latest Windows software update. Somebody would have to sit down and design a U.S. system that had all of the key characteristics of the Swedish model. We've already seen what a bull-headed, read-it-later, majority political party can do with health care design, but let's assume that we won't do it that way again.
The first problem for a designer involves "scalability." taking a prototype or small system and expanding it into a big one.
As so many private businesses, government agencies, and the U.S. military have found out, expanding a small, successful operation into a large, successful one isn't as easy as it is on a spread sheet. And, compared with our needs, the Swedish system is quite small. Their total population is less than half the size of the TV audience in the New York City metropolitan area.
Our two populations have some very different characteristics, also. Until recent changes in immigration policies, for example, Sweden had a textbook example of a homogeneous population where everyone was native-born and shared a common culture, language and economic system. By comparison, in most American cities an average classroom looks like a U.N. General Assembly photo-op.
Swedes are, on average, healthier than we are, too. Our self-indulgent ways have all too visibly affected our diet, our shape and our health.
We are a nation of immigrants and take pride in that, despite the problems that come with it. We are also, though, a nation of complainers, protesters, and litigants and each of these characteristics has shaped our current medical system and its costs. More importantly, they are likely to continue to influence any system we adopt, including Obamacare.
Our characteristic lack of acceptance of things as they are has been a major factor in our nation's founding and is a continuing influence on our inventiveness, entrepreneurial spirit, and economic growth. Fitting this into a Swedish-style health care system, though, won't be easy.
One thing that we have gotten used to, also, is leadership in health care. The U.S. system, with all of its excesses, has been responsible for the lion's share of medical discoveries and developments that have transformed miraculous cures into everyday occurrences.
It is much more difficult for a single-payer system — what used to be called socialized medicine — to develop, harness and focus the resources that nourish productivity and innovation. These things need the inquiring and unaccepting minds that government bureaucracies actively or passively discourage.
Whether Americans will accept the surrender of our leadership role and a much slower pace of medical progress in exchange for a health care system that promises lower costs is a question that only the future can answer. Given our past behavior, though, it doesn't seem likely.
Frank has certainly identified a key element in the economic success of the Swedish system: Virtually all doctors are hospital employees. As employees in the U.S. then, physicians would presumably be just like the workers surveyed in the recent Gallup poll, in which 70 percent are either "going through the motions" or "actively disengaged" at work. Now, there's something to look forward to the next time you're sick.
Despite all the problems with importing the Swedish health care system to the U.S., Frank is still right. We can learn a lot from them about medical services delivery and shouldn't simply accept either our current system or Obamacare as they are.

Comforting dogs during fireworks
(Columbus) - Many folks love the 4th of July for the Fireworks, which create loud booms and brilliant flashes of light. But one group that thinks the opposite of the holiday is dogs. The 4th of July is when the most dogs get lost every year, when they're scared off by fireworks, either by their owners or at a community display.
Sarah Tayse, Veterinary Services Manager for the Capital Area Humane Society, says if you're heading to Red, White, and Boom, or another community celebration, just leave the dog at home. She says if your pet has a phobia of thunderstorms, they'll likely have the same problem with fireworks.
"Use the same tool that you would use to keep your dog comfortable during a thunderstorm while the fireworks are going on, "said Tayse.
She says dogs don't have the same attitude about the explosives as you and your friends. She says, "They don't understand what you're doing is supposed to be fun."
In the event your pet does become lost because of the fireworks, Tayse recommends keeping up with their license and rabies tags, along with a microchip. "The best thing to do is to contact the Franklin County Animal Care and Control...generally they're pretty inundated around the 4th of July, since a lot of pets do get loose."

"We had great conversations and during one conversation, I asked him to describe one dating experience he had using JDate. He described a terrible date which ended with him boxing up his date's food and taking it home. I had tears in my eyes from laughing so hard."
After spending two years without being in a relationship, I decided to join JDate to meet my special someone. Then one evening I got an icebreaker from someone in Florida. My first thought was why would I ever want to date someone in Florida? I really didn't want a long-distance relationship. However, my curiosity got the best of me and I read the icebreaker. It said, "Hi, How are you? My name is Greg." I decided to respond and within a few days, Greg and I exchanged phone numbers.
Within a couple of weeks of regular conversation, Greg suggested that I come to Florida to visit. I still was not sure I wanted a long-distance relationship, but he was very persistent and I planned a visit. Once we met in person, we had more time to talk and, to my surprise, we found out we had so many things in common. After my return to Chicago, we graduated from phone calls to Skype. Both of us also realized that we wanted to be in an exclusive relationship with each other. So, my opposition to a long-distance relationship was put aside.
Greg and I decided to take the final step in our relationship – marriage. So, on November 15, 2013 (Greg's birthday), we were married in Naples, Florida.

Tornados Edged by EaglesMarch 27, 2014
JEFFERSON CITY, Tenn.- The Brevard College (1-11, 0-4 SAC) men's tennis team wasn't able to grasp the win over Carson-Newman (4-13, 2-4 SAC) losing 5-4 in the South Atlantic Conference match.

Having installed backtrack a year or so ago, i always had an issue with my external wireless adapterThe problem was that after i had successfully connected to my network, after a minute or so the connection would just completely drop.. but it would still tell me that i was connected to the network.Alfa AWUS036H
I have now found a 'Permanent' fix for this issue:
Firstly, make sure your Alfa AWUS036H is connected to your pc/laptop.
Now open a new terminal and type the following:
or wlan0, whichever your card is on. use "ifconfig -a" to find outCode:ifconfig wlan1 down
Then type:
This sets the country code to boliva so you can use the alfa card in max power.Code:iw reg set BO
Then type:
This sets your card to 30db which is the max power the card usesCode:iwconfig wlan1 txpower 30
Then type:
This should fix the connection drop or very slow internet problem [main issue for me]Code:iwconfig wlan1 rate 1M
Now you are almost done, just type the following:
Now just open your network manager and connect to your network and the problem should be fixed.Code:ifconfig wlan1 up

PURCHASE, NY -- PepsiCo Inc. will begin selling premium European-Style yogurts this month through its U.S. joint venture with German dairy Theo Muller Group. The partnership -- Muller Quaker Dairy -- marks both companies' entries into the U.S. dairy market.
Muller-branded yogurts rolling out in supermarket and club stores in the Northeast and mid-Atlantic include conventional and Greek square varieties with separate add-ins like granola and caramelized almonds in one corner of the square container. Also making its U.S. debut is FrutUp, packaged with fruits like blueberry and cherry atop the yogurt for consumers to stir in.
"As we've seen through the success of our dairy business in other parts of the world, this is a category with strong growth prospects," said PepsiCo chief scientific officer Mehmood Khan, M.D.
PepsiCo said the joint venture will leverage its distribution capabilities, brand recognition and research and development know-how, combined with Theo Muller's dairy expertise.
The companies are building a $206 million yogurt manufacturing plant in Batavia, NY, that will employ some 180 people and produce 5 billion cups of yogurt a year. | SEE STORY
PepsiCo entered the global dairy products arena with its 2011 acquisition of Wimm-Bill-Dann, Russia's largest dairy company. It has also been part of a joint venture with Almarai, Saudi Arabia's largest dairy company, since 2009.

Holder: It's Time To Question Stand Your Ground
(Orlando, FL) -- U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder says it's time to question laws like Florida's Stand Your Ground law. In a speech at the NAACP convention in Orlando, Holder said such laws, quote, "senselessly expand the concept of self defense."
He added that such laws try to fix something that was never broken. He said the laws undermine public safety by removing the traditional requirement that threatened people "retreat" if outside their home. Holder's statement comes amid outcry over George Zimmerman's acquittal for the shooting death of Trayvon Martin in Florida.

KANSAS CITY, Kan. – With their final game of the regular season looming on the horizon, the Saint Leo women's soccer team checks in at No. 6 on the latest NSCAA Division II Coaches Poll, announced Tuesday.
The Lions, who hold onto an overall record of 14-1-1, and 6-0-1 in Sunshine State Conference play, look to take down the University of Tampa Spartans (10-4-2, 4-2-1 SSC) on Thursday evening on the Spartans' home pitch. The win would clinch the SSC regular season championship for the Green and Gold, and would notch a new mark in the record books as the first regular season title in program history.
Saint Leo tops the list of three SSC schools on this week's poll. Rollins checks in at No. 12, while Tampa pops into the regular season top-25 for the first time this season, earning a spot at No. 24. The Spartans came in at No. 14 on this year's preseason poll, but did not appear in regular rankings until this week.
Florida Tech, who came in at 21st last week, dropped out this week's rankings.
The Green and Gold squares off against Tampa in its highly anticipated final match of the regular season at Pepin Stadium, Thursday evening. Kickoff against the Spartans is set for 7 p.m. For the latest news, updates, and information on the Lions, visit SaintLeoLions.com.

SAKAHAN: International Indigenous Art - One of the National Gallery of Canada's most ambitious contemporary art exhibitions to date
This summer, contemporary Indigenous art takes centre stage at the National Gallery of Canada (NGC) in the ambitious exhibition Sakahn: International Indigenous Art. Poetic, unexpected and challenging, some 150 artworks by over 75 artists from around the world celebrate and interrogate distinct cultural, political and social moments experienced by Indigenous peoples. On view until September 2, 2013, Sakahn is organized by the National Gallery of Canada, supported by the RBC Foundation and sponsored by CN. For more information, visit gallery.ca/sakahan.
"Sakahn: International Indigenous Art marks the beginning of an ambitious endeavour that is very close to our hearts: celebrating and showcasing the works of Aboriginal artists from around the world," said NGC director and CEO Marc Mayer. "Indigenous art has been an important part of our national collection for over 50 years, and Sakahn underscores our commitment to Indigenous artists both local and international."
Sakahn, meaning "to light a fire" in the language of the Algonquin peoples, is the largest survey of recent Indigenous art organized by a national institution. The exhibition features artworks by award-winning artists, including Rebecca Belmore, Brian Jungen, and Annie Pootoogook from Canada as well as internationally renown artists as Jimmie Durham (United States/Italy/Germany), Michael Parekowhai (New Zealand), and Teresa Margolles (Mexico/Spain). It also presents artists who have not yet received widespread exposure in North America, such as Toru Kaizawa (Japan), Venkat Raman Singh Shyam (India), and Outi Pieski (Finland). The artists' approaches are as varied as their chosen media, which include performance art, drawing, installations, painting, photography, sculpture and video. Several new works will be created specifically for the exhibition.
Sakahn Partners
Contemporary Indigenous art will also be in the spotlight at partner organizations, galleries and institutions who will be presenting exciting installations and exhibitions alongside Sakahn. The confirmed partners include: Carleton University Art Gallery, Gallery 101, SAW Gallery, Ottawa Art Gallery, SAW Video Media Art Centre, Ottawa School of Art, Aboriginal Art Centre, Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada; and the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa.
Exhibition curators
The curatorial team of Sakahn: International Indigenous Art is Greg Hill, NGC Audain Curator of Indigenous Art; Christine Lalonde, NGC Associate Curator of Indigenous Art; and Candice Hopkins, NGC Elizabeth Simonfay Guest Curator.
Contemporary Indigenous art around the world
To best represent a broad spectrum of Indigenous artists, the curatorial team worked with an international advisory committee. The advisors fulfilled various roles, providing historical and cultural background, highlighting current events and issues, recommending artists and other possible participants, acting as liaisons with artists and cultural agencies, and providing feedback on the conceptual framework of the exhibition. Over the course of three years, the curatorial team also made more than 50 research trips to meet artists and visit galleries and arts agencies in over 10 countries and regions. Thanks to this collaborative effort, the exhibition brings together a diverse group of artists from countries such as Australia, Brazil, Canada, Colombia, Finland, Greenland, Guatemala, India, Japan, Kenya, Mexico, Aotearoa/New Zealand, Norway, Samoa, Taiwan and the United States.

Xiaolin Zheng
Nanoscientist; 2014 Emerging Explorer
Photograph by John Todd
Chinese nanoscientist and Stanford professor Xiaolin Zheng leads a research team that created a groundbreaking invention that unlocks the practical potential of solar power. The team created solar cells in the form of flexible stickers—only a tenth of the thickness of plastic wrap. The skinny, bendable solar cells produce the same amount of electricity as rigid ones. Since solar stickers are lighter, they will be easier and less expensive to install. And because they are extremely flexible, they can be attached to any surface—the back of a mobile phone, a skylight, a wall, a curved column. Zheng predicts peel-and-stick solar cells could one day paper the sides of buildings, cover sidewalks to light walkways, energize home security systems, and help power solar cars or planes. Along with industrial uses for the flexible solar cells, Zheng envisions people being able to stop at their corner store to pick up a pack of solar cells the way one buys batteries today.
Where were you born?
Anshan, China
Where do you currently live?
Stanford, California
How did you get started in your field of work?
When I started my graduate school at Princeton University, I became interested in energy-related research. It is a simple desire to enable a better life quality for normal people, like my parents, in a sustainable way.
What has been your most rewarding or memorable experience in your field?
When I first successfully made a nanoscale solar cell while doing postdoc at Harvard University. The most challenging thing is to convince the funding agencies that solar stickers are worth studying.
What's a normal work day like for you?
I spend most of my days on campus at Stanford University: teaching, meeting students, writing papers, and applying for funding.
What advice would you give your younger self?
Believe in yourself.
If you could have people do one thing to help save energy what would it be?
Turn off the light when you leave a room.
In Their Words
By making solar cells extremely thin and flexible, they can be used in all kinds of new ways. I hope our discovery will dramatically expand the affordable, practical, widespread application of solar power.

The group relaxed and started talking about the brief fight that had broken out in their Salt Lake City smoke shop.
A man who had been drinking and loitering in the parking lot of C.J.'s Smoke Shop, near the corner of 900 West and 800 South, was asked to leave. And when he disrespected Stephen Guadalupe Chavez's father, the 26-year-old man fought with the stranger.
The fight ended quickly, with the stranger fleeing. So the group of four men and one woman went back to eating and drinking, waiting for closing time on the night of March 14.
Half an hour later, the man from the fight came back.
On Wednesday, 26-year-old Yelfris Sosa-Hurtado sat with his hands shackled behind his back, as the group inside the smoke shop recalled the shooting that took Stephen Chavez's life.
The hearing, which will determine whether Sosa-Hurtado and his alleged getaway driver, 38-year-old Vladimir Suarez-Campos, will stand trial on murder and other charges, is set to continue Thursday in 3rd District Court.
"I told my son, 'Get down, baby. Get down," Isabel Chavez, the man's father, testified during the preliminary hearing. "It was too late."
Isabel Chavez said Sosa-Hurtado, wearing a long coat and carrying a long gun, came back to the shop.
" 'I'm going to kill you mother f-,' " Isabel Chavez said he heard the man say before he opened fire.
Manuela Trujillo, who was just about to grab another beer from the cooler, heard the man say only, "Is that right?"
The first shot narrowly missed Isabel Chavez, smashing through a display case and shattering the glass.
Chavez said he watched as Sosa-Hurtado held the gun just a few inches from his son's heart and fired again. As Stephen Chavez sank behind the counter, the man fired twice more, Isabel Chavez said.
He held his hands against his son until he was covered with blood. Later, he pulled the shards of glass from his leg by himself. He said he hadn't felt pain at the time.
Witnesses said they saw the man walk backward out of the shop and continue firing.
Suarez-Campos, who was outside the shop during the shooting, faces one count of murder, a first-degree felony, and nine counts of felony discharge of a firearm for his alleged role in the killing.
Sosa-Hurtado faces a charge of aggravated murder and nine counts of felony discharge of a firearm. Prosecutors could seek the death penalty in his case.

Congratulations! You've received an award. What to do next:
Although the role of the principal investigator or project director is paramount in the performance of sponsored activity, the University is the recipient of the award and the responsible party to the related agreement. In accepting a grant or contract, the University assumes legal responsibility for observing the terms and conditions of the agreement and for delivering to the sponsor such assurance of compliance as may be required.
When an award document is received by SPARC, the Director and grant officer verifies that it is in conformance with university policy and that the proposal has been fully routed and approved in RAMSeS. Then, forms are prepared and forwarded to accounting for entry into the Banner system with a copy of the award document attached. Accounting returns the request with the fund number and the SPARC office emails an award letter for the PI that provides the fund number and budget line items with the complete award document available in RAMSeS. This process takes approximately 10 working days.
When the fund number is received, a PI should review the project's scope of work to determine if sub-agreements need to be issued, employees hired, or other activities need to begin.
Why is it taking so long?
SPARC is the authorized institutional office to submit proposals, negotiate awards and accept awards. A faculty member may not accept an award on behalf of the university. If a faculty member does sign an agreement, even if it's sent directly to them, they put themselves at risk personally. Any difficulties during the conduct of the project could result in personal liability and the inability of the university to provide protection. While a contract may appear at first brush to be straightforward and simple, there is a good deal of language often included (or not included) which presents problems of ownership, legal obligations, and certain actions to which the university cannot agree. If a faculty member receives an award document directly, s/he should immediately contact the SPARC office and deliver the document to that office.
Sometimes revisions to agreements may result in lengthy delays; other times the award is straightforward and can be agreed to immediately. During these negotiations, sponsored programs staff may contact the PI to clarify issues related to the programmatic scope of work and/or budget modifications. Every award is reviewed to ensure consistency between the approved proposal and the award instrument. It is also reviewed for existing approvals for animal or human subject involvement prior to the fund number being released to the PI.
Hyper links: PI Checklist
1-a - Receiving the Award: Subcontracts
SUB-AGREEMENTS (sometimes called subcontracts, subawards):
Because of possible restrictions imposed by the sponsor, all sub-agreements must be closely coordinated with SPARC. A letter of commitment, scope of work and detailed budget with budget justification will be needed from the PI to prepare sub-agreement. The sub-agreement with scope of work, budget and budget justification will be forwarded to the other institution and a signature obtained by the institution's sponsored programs office.
The original agreement will be retained in the Sponsored Programs and Research Compliance office where invoices will be received and approved. The PI will be asked to review the invoices and notify SPARC to process them for payment through University channels. The PI is responsible for authorizing a requisition to encumber the funds.
Due to legal restrictions on agreements and subcontracts, it is critical that the PI work closely with SPARC in this area.

Is Ciara having a baby boy?
Listen to Ciara on iHeartRadio
Uh Oh! Papa Future may have leaked the sex of his baby with singer Ciara.
You know men can't keep secrets. Future may have slipped during an interview while on tour with Drake. Future stopped by Tim Westwood and chatted about his future musical projects, his Honest album and working with Drake and DJ Khaled. Midway through the interview, he gushed about Ciara and how she's been changing their entire house for the baby.
Mid-way through the sit-down, Future got a bit cagey when asked about the sex of the baby, but it seemed he couldn't resist the urge to share that Ciara said the baby has been listening to his music.
"The baby's been listening to music already," the rapper said."She (Ciara) sent me a video of the headphones on hr stomach. The baby just listened to 'Turn on The Lights.' The version with me and you."
Then Future went on to refer the baby as "he" and "him." These are clearly references that the baby could very well be a boy.
"See you got the sex out of me and you didn't even know it," Future told Westwood. At the end of the interview, Future tried to trick Westwood and refer to the baby as "she."
Seems like it's a little boy to us! Ciara has said in previous interviews that they are keeping things a surprise, but it sounds like daddy has got the inside track. Congrats to them both.

Moncler Gamme Rouge Spring 2013
Four cities, in as many weeks, and more shows than you can shake an iPhone at; next spring is yet to happen, but in fashion terms, it's pretty much all over bar the wearing. At this moment—the end, or as good as—of the run of the collections, the mind turns to ideas of getting away from it all, to the notion of sun, sea, and sand, to rest and recuperation, to. . . . Oh, you get the idea; anywhere but being back at the office, basically. So what's this, reminding us of the joys of vacations, and simultaneously torturing us all with the idea that in reality the next holiday is only going to involve a turkey and Black Friday, but the set of the Moncler Gamme Rouge show, a boardwalk–and–diving board idyll with a shimmering tiled sea on the runway and hunky lifeguards limbering up like they're the Italian Olympic gymnastic hopefuls of 2012. Or perhaps that should be 1968, because as the first model appeared, it was clear we were back in some mythic Positano, circa the sixties: She wore a white sports mesh body decorated with ruffle-like flowers, and a matching bathing cap. The look was very Monica Vitti in Modesty Blaise; Google it, kids—the costumes, designed by one Beatrice Dawson, are fabulously insane, making Courrèges look like he'd been beaten in the Space Race.
Gamme Rouge is under the creative direction of Italian designer Giambattista Valli, and Valli realizes that when you are a brand essentially making some of the very best down jackets in the world, there is a challenge as to what to do when it comes to the warmer times of the year. His sensible solution is to put the label's technical skills to work creating techno fabrics that he can whip up into his modernized sixties alta moda shapes. (And the other option, as happened here, is to use this vacation theme to showcase the house's white and silver luggage.) There were zippered coats and dresses that finished above the knee, perhaps decorated with yet more flowers, shimmering with iridescence, or rendered in gleaming optic-white lace, with Valli molding the silhouette so that whatever rigor and control existed at the front then relaxed into a cocoon shape at the back. As the show progressed, he wove in color and print into body-conscious or sporty silhouettes, using pretty watery blue sequins for a nip-waisted scuba jacket and a pair of matching shorts (his take on the increasingly omnipresent idea of embellishment-plus-shorts for evening) and an exotic bloom print that turned up blown over in grand scale over an easy airy parka, or taken down to a smaller size and used for a featherlight-looking down jacket, which could be worn as a chic evening cover-up when the temperature starts to drop as the days go by. After all, it doesn't stay hot forever.

Please update your Flash Player
Ever since she was a child growing up in Puerto Rico, Vanessa Aponte remembers, "I wanted to work at NASA. And that's all I knew. I had no focus. I just knew that space seemed like a lot of fun."
Today she is part of the team designing NASA's high-profile Orion mission, the spacecraft that will carry a new generation of astronauts to the moon by 2020. Orion is the most exciting advance in human space exploration in decades, and for Vanessa, "It's just an amazing feeling to know that what you do is going to be part of history."
All Systems Go
Vanessa is an aerospace engineer at Lockheed Martin Space Systems in Colorado, the contractor NASA chose to design and build the Orion Crew Exploration Vehicle, which will be the replacement for the space shuttle.
Her job deals with the big picture—the spacecraft as a whole. As an engineer, she says, "you can specialize in one particular thing. But in my case, I decided that I wanted to get a global picture of how the spacecraft works. And not only that, I wanted to understand how the human body works in space."
Vanessa is part of the spacecraft design integration team, which ensures that all the systems involved in developing Orion function well together, whether it's the life-support system, the computer network, or ground operations. "By the time Orion flies," Vanessa says, "I'll know a little bit about everything in the spacecraft!"
Working with Great People
Vanessa's job involves working with many different types of people, and she believes that "people skills will get you as far or farther than the necessary technical skills. When you are working in any sort of program that's interdisciplinary, if you cannot work well with others, you're not going to get what you need from them." If you have a talent for communicating, she says, "it will put you above the rest. And that could be a really good thing for someone who's not 100% technically inclined, which is what happened to me. I loved science, but I struggled with the math—always."
From Chemistry to Aerospace
Chemistry was a favorite subject of Vanessa's, so she pursued chemical engineering in college. But her childhood interest in spaceflight never diminished. "I decided that although my undergrad and my masters were in chemical engineering, I wanted to learn about space. And so I started tying my chemical engineering research to space applications." In grad school she specialized in astronauts' health, a field called bioastronautics. One of her favorite projects was developing a tiny biological sensor to monitor the immune systems of astronauts during space flight.
Mountain Rescuer and Rocket Doctor
Vanessa has always had many passions. She's learned to fly planes and play the guitar; she loves French, psychology, Kung Fu, and volunteering as a mountain rescuer in the Colorado Rockies. Engineering has given her the same flexibility and breadth she's sought in every part of her life—"You can take one specialty, like chemical or aerospace, and still end up working in really diverse areas, which is what I did."

Notwithstanding his own loftier goals, it is questionable whether mescaline and LSD gave Huxley the enlightenment he craved.
The deaths of Lewis and Huxley were mute, private events, only reported in The Times three days later.
Faulkner, Fitzgerald, Huxley—none of the great novelists ever had an original screenplay produced.
Huxley, 14 in 1908, had been just settling in at Eton when his mother died.
Like Lewis, Huxley lost his wife to cancer; he said it was like 'an amputation'.
In the true sense of the word "chance" did not exist for Huxley and Darwin.
A reply by Mr. Huxley appeared in the July number of the same Journal.
This gave Huxley a text for raising the whole question of the relation of science to culture.
Farewell, my dear Huxley, and do not kill yourself with work.
Huxley says that nine-tenths of the impediments to women's health are not inherent, but are due to her mode of life.
Huxley Hux·ley (hŭks'lē), Andrew Fielding. Born 1917.
British physiologist. He shared a 1963 Nobel Prize for research on nerve cells.
Huxley , Thomas Henry. 1825-1895.
British biologist who championed Darwin's theory of evolution. His works include Evidence as to Man's Place in Nature (1863) and Science and Culture (1881).

International Women's Day: "We have great opportunities to carry the voice of vulnerable people"
On International Women's Day (8 March), OCHA is highlighting some of the remarkable women working on the front lines of some of the world's toughest emergencies.
Read the other International Women's Day Profiles
Sarah Otuku is from the city of Lira in northern Uganda. She joined OCHA in Uganda in 2006, working on a team that was responding to the humanitarian fallout from the prolonged and vicious fighting between the Ugandan Government and the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA).
After five years, Sarah decided it was time for a change. Not one for easy assignments, in July 2011 she took a job with OCHA's office in Afghanistan. Sarah is a Humanitarian Affairs Officer – a benign title for a job with so many demands.
"I support coordination efforts and the development and review of humanitarian appeals; I produce policy and advocacy documents and support analysis and reporting. And I'm the focal point on issues related to humanitarian access, as well as protection of civilians."
Speaking on behalf of people facing crises
Her passion, she says, is the opportunity to advocate on behalf of people affected by disaster and conflict in Afghanistan.
"My favourite part of my job is the opportunity to 'speak' on behalf of vulnerable groups through the various protection reports and advocacy documents I work on," she says. "I always feel that as OCHA we have great opportunities to carry the voice of vulnerable people to all types of audiences – to donors, to aid groups, to the media.
"I always treasure these opportunities and try to do my very best to highlight issues of concern as I know it's an opportunity that should not be missed."
Sarah has worked in two of the toughest humanitarian contexts on the planet. She knows the dangers that aid workers face. She knows this perhaps more than most.
Challenge and loss
In March 2011, during a mission to Moroto in remote northern Uganda, she contracted a sudden infection. "Within minutes I was in a lot of pain. My blood vessels were blocked and I couldn't walk," she recalls. Sarah is indebted to the quick thinking of her colleagues from the World Health Organization (WHO) and the UN security team. Without them, she is sure she would have lost her legs.
But her greatest challenge came at the beginning of this year. On 17 January 2014, a Taliban suicide bomber and gunmen attacked a Lebanese restaurant in the Afghan capital of Kabul. Two of Sarah's best friends – Basra Hassan and Nasreen Khan – were among the 21 people killed.
"They were the 'family' I had in Afghanistan and we shared a bond that kept us happy, hopeful and determined. They were my exercise and security buddies. We watched each other's backs."
Their friendship helped them cope with security concerns that aid workers face in Afghanistan.
"We would jointly prepare and share several 'comfort meals' during the occasional tense and gloomy security moments – to keep our selves occupied and stay focused. I learnt a lot from them."
"It has been a reminder to me that, while we continue to do humanitarian work, we carry the heaviest commitment. Sometimes humanitarians pay the highest price."

After last week's column about the irritating rise in the frequency of television commercials, a couple of readers emailed me about another annoying problem involving TV commercials how loud they are.
Recently, there was a law passed prohibiting excessively increased volume on TV commercials. There are still repeat offenders on certain channels. Not sure [how] to report [them]. On most channels, the commercials maintain the same volume as regular programming, but some channels still repeatedly increase volume on selected commercials. Thomas Manak, Murray.
Hello Mr. Horiuchi. In 2011 or 2012, I had heard legislation had been passed to start in 2013 to make all TV commercials sound the same as what program you were watching. I have noticed that this is not happening on most channels. When is the law supposed to take effect? Jay Ingleby.
Thomas and Jay are referring to a new law passed late last year that prohibits broadcasters from blasting the volume of commercials on TV.
The amped up volume was a nasty tactic by advertisers to ensure they got viewers' attention. So imagine watching "The Big Bang Theory," when programming cuts suddenly to a Viagra ad where someone's voice blasts through the television speakers about male enhancement. Not good. And with the Super Bowl coming up this Sunday featuring the year's most-talked-about commercials, this is a complaint worth making again.
It's an issue that ultimately irked the wrong woman, Congresswoman Anna G. Eshoo, a Democrat from California. "This has been a top consumer complaint for decades," she said at a news conference last December, according to the Los Angeles Times. "I never dreamed that this would strike the chord it did with the American public."
Several years ago, Eschoo drafted legislation mandating that broadcasters level off the sound of TV commercials. Turns out that wasn't an easy task. According to the Times, it took a team of international engineers to rewrite standards in broadcasting and come up with the required audio technology to be able to detect fluctuations in sound. Who knew such a simple request would require such deep thought and planning.
But underscoring the snail-like speed with which government works, Congress passed CALM, the Commercial Advertisement Loudness Mitigation Act, in 2010, and it went into effect last December. The law gave broadcasters a yearlong grace period to install the new audio technology.
Obviously, not all stations are abiding by the law yet, according to additional complaints that have been pouring into the Federal Communication Commission since the law was enacted, according to U.S. News & World Report.
"This is the most commented-on issue [to the FCC] over the last 40 years," said Joel Kelsey, legislative director of the media reform nonprofit Free Press, who testified before Congress on the issue. "So I expect that as long as it's a problem that persists in the marketplace, consumers will draw attention to it."
Viewers can report overly-loud commercials to the Federal Communication's Commision on the agency's website at www.FCC.gov or by calling 1-888-TELL-FCC (1-888-225-5322).
There's also one small do-it-yourself tip you can try. Almost all newer TV sets have a sound-equalization setting in the menu that you can turn on to level off the volume level between different types of programs. That might help when the station goes from a program to a commercial.
If you have a tech question for Vince, email him at email@example.com, and he'll try to answer it for his column in The Salt Lake Tribune or on its website. For an archive of past columns, go to www.sltrib.com/topics/ohmytech.

There's going to be an interview with Rolles about that on the Fightworks Podcast too, according to this.
There's going to be an interview with Rolles about that on the Fightworks Podcast too, according to this.
In my opinion there SHOULD be No-Gi grades. God knows there are guys in the UK who are up there. Guys like Leigh Remedios and Nathan Leveton etc. should certainly be able to gain that "Belt/Shirt" whatever, as a symbol of the skill, hardwork, and love for the art. Also these guys are coaches in there own right and there will be a time when they are older or maybe coaching and teaching is their only concern. No they don't NEED it, but if it exists, they certainly SHOULD get it.

just saw a quote from Rezo in this
Speaking via GracieFighter.com, Renzo said:
"It was a recognition from Rolles that Rashad should compete in the highest categories of gi-less grappling competitions. In the Gi-less World Championships for example you cannot compete in the Blackbelt division no matter how long you've been grappling unless a certified instructor gives you a belt for that division."
"Can I say that Rashad has worked his way up in the correct belt order with a gi? Of course not and I don't think as a pro fighter he will be doing gi tournaments anytime soon. I differentiate between gi and gi-less and apparently Rolles found him ready for the belt in gi-less. I don't think you should give someone a belt in a locker room. Not sure if that was Rolles' idea."
To be honest, my opinion is this, how can you be a black belt in no Gi if you DONT wear a belt in no Gi?, no gi is a variation/sub aspect of BJJ, so the belt system should be applied to the gi only, you dont really hear of no gi tae kwon do or karate black belts do you?, but you could do any martial art without the propper kit on, but to be graded it should be traditional.
To gain a belt dont you have to be able to perform techniqes to the required level of skill expected by your instructor and do so seamlessly and fluidly?, if Rashad is a BJJ black belt and fights in a BJJ match at black belt level how do you think he would do? ive never really seem much of his jiu jitsu in his mma fight?
Last edited by C_S_R; 08-01-2010 at 04:47 PM.
edited as i have now read the interview.
rolles said he is a no-gi jiu jitsu black belt.
it was rogan who got it wrong then i guess.
Last edited by markjitsu; 08-01-2010 at 11:41 PM.
A No-Gi BJJ blackbelt is almost a oxymoron.
Does this mean when Rashad retires and opens a gym he can advertise himself as a BJJ blackbelt?
So you can just exclusively concentrate on wrestling or sambo for 10 years and then take 2 years of BJJ training NO-Gi and get a BJJ blackbelt? Something seems wrong with that picture because people but alot of time and money into earning a BJJ blackbelt. I think the danger is, it may diminish the value of the belt as this starts to happen more frequently.

i think gradings in no-gi bjj is a good idea after all it wld make match up alot fairer and im sure more advandced guys wld agree as far as it being a belt why not as it still wld hold the same meaning, it wld be easier to keep the belt gradings and be presented with a belt instead of a shirt imo
KETTERING SHOOTFIGHTERS, semi pro 1-1-0
No gi bjj grades are retarded. Bjj heavily involves training in the gi, there is no separate art of no gi bjj. If you don't want to train with the gi fine bit you should not be wanting a grade in bjj
Yo Rashad - do you want fries with that?
he doesn't say no gi bjj - he says no gi jiu jitsu, which to me = submission wrestling.

Travis Tritt taps daughter for new duet
Listen to Travis Tritt on iHeartRadio
Travis Tritt says he's thrilled that he had the chance to record a song with his daughter. The country star's latest release is a remake of the Patty Smyth-Don Henley hit "Sometimes Love Just Ain't Enough."
Travis tells Billboard.com it's a song he wanted to record six years ago, but none of the duet partners he had in mind for the project were available. But he says he kept the song on his iPod, and his daughter Tyler Reese heard it for the first time last year.
Tritt recalls she was singing along, and he was so impressed he decided to cut the song with her. He adds that he knows he sounds like "a proud papa," but he believes Tyler "nailed it."
"Sometimes Love Just Ain't Enough" has become Tritt's new single - and his first release in six years. Travis adds that he's "just thrilled to death" that his debut single on his new label, Post Oak, is a song he recorded with his daughter. The song will be on Tritt's new album, The Calm After..., which will hit stores on July 9th.

If that's lazy, I wanna be it!
I usually grab cereal when I'm super lazy but scrambling some eggs and a little chipotle cheese and peppers wrapped up in a high fiber tortilla will usually get the job done for me.
This looks great! I've recently been doing something similar with eggs … I add just a little cheese and scrambled them up before nuking them in the microwave. Makes a great sandwich, with a little grape jelly spread on a sandwich thin (saw it on another blog … so good!). 🙂
We do this, too 🙂 We had tilapia & steamed broccoli for breakfie today, but on crazy busy mornings it's all about the scrambled eggs & veggies! My husband's favorite go-to egg veggie is green beans! He was nervous when I first made it, but now he LOVES it! My favorites are yellow peppers, spinach & mushrooms. The bagel & cream cheese sounds delish but unfortunately we can't have grains or dairy anymore :/
How's the boot camp going?
does every day count? because that's how i honestly feel.
you are not alone, my lady.
xx jes
i totally forget to eat breakfast like all the time. But when I do remember I like to make plain oatmeal with bananas, walnuts, and a bit of brown sugar. Yum! I can't take credit for this, Cassie from Primitive and Proper made me some once and I have been hooked ever since.
I've done the same thing, but baked it. Microwave seems much more efficient.
And did you just reference animaniacs? I think I love you.
When I don't feel like making breakfast, I whip up an easy smoothie!
That's such a great idea! I recently discovered the fabulous disc-o-eggs that a microwave can create. 🙂 Adding spinach or whatever = extra genius!
Fantastic idea! My honey bunny loves eggs, so making them is never an issue!
This is perfect for those mornings on the run! It's no good missing breakfast. I get hangry when I I miss breakfast and that's not a good look for me! I'll bet this sticks to the ribs pretty good too.
A slice of bread with homemade plum jam. Why homemade? It has almost no sugar in it, mmm, so good!
Looks delicious. Kicking bad habits out the window is the best thing for you. If Brandon and I have steak leftovers from the night before I reheat that and add an egg or two to go with it for a quick breakfast in the AM.
So simple, yet so genius.
I love eggs since they're so easy to whip up! I also rely on overnight oats a lot during the workweek!
Yes, but nothing nearly as good as what you whipped up. Nature Valley Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter protein bar.
Ahhh I need to follow your lead with the made-ahead veggies for breakfast! Great, great idea, my friend.
We always have tofu in the house and frozen veggies (those steamable bags are a time saver!), so a go-to for us is cooking up some tofu and having a side of veggie! Or eggs. I'm a fan of scrambles with bagel thins and some Morningstar sausage patties 🙂
That's microwaved? I'd have never guessed it…it really is light and fluffy. I need to give it a try for sure! I usually make a batch of scones and put them in the freezer so I can just pull one out and nuke it for a minute.
Away right now, I would die to cook more (grass is greener I know). Funny, I make roasted and steamed veggies in batches rarely sauteed. Such a small thing but I"ll have to give it a spin. Today's assignment, find a great fruit market. BTW would love to know what your fave travel food items are (come share).
I love the idea of sauteeing veggies in large batches…I often pre-cut them at the beginning of the week so that I can quickly toss them into salads, however this takes time-saving to a new level! Genius. Egg puffs are my quick go-to breakfast as well. 🙂
YUM! I roast huge batches of veggies (like brussels sprouts, sweet potato, parsnip, etc.), then they can be dumped on salad, on pasta with sauce, just snacked on plain, etc. with minimal effort/assembly required.
On Sunday I slice veggies to have on hand for the week- usually to dip in hummus.
Going to the gym, blogging and getting ready for work in the mornings doesn't leave me much time either for breakfast. This would be a quick fix to that! I love bagel thins, so glad that was invented! Way better and healthier than a giant bagel. 🙂
This looks really yummy and perfect for breakfast
Cereal is my go to! And I don't think I've skipped breakfast in years. I sprint down the stairs in the morning to shove my face as I am always starving! And if i am on the run, I always carry granola bars and fruit leathers for my kids so I can steal those 🙂
Great idea for a quick breakfast! 🙂 I can't skip breakfast, I leave for work at 7am and would die otherwise. But I do have to make myself cook batch lunches for the week on Sundays and not let time get away from me.
Love your lazy spirit recipe. There are many mores that this would be perfect for 🙂
Hi! I nominated you for The Versatile Blogger Award! You blog is so cute! Love it! You can check out my post about the award on my blog: http://www.piggyinpolkadots.blogspot.com
YES! Oatmeal. Lately I've been really good about breakfast, but back in law school I would pop some in the microwave, take my dog out come back in and pour it in a disposable cup with a disposable spoon and haul butt out the door. So easy, yet so plain … that was before I discovered all the mix-ins to oatmeal (ab, banana, chia seeds)
A green monster smoothie is my go to breakfast in a pinch. BTW, I saw your salmon salad recipe was on the Top 9. Congrats! I'm really enjoying your blog.
mmmmm chipotle cheese is soooo awesome with eggs! =) Have you tried habenero cheddar yet? OMG! Its just like it… but way spicier!
Yes!!!! The jelly is perfect for a sweet tooth!
I think eggs and mushrooms is my fav – and green beans are up there!!! so so so good together I totally agree! And the grains and dairy are overrated anyways 😉 You're getting the good stuff in!
I'm still on my zumba/spin schedule but bootcamp starts this upcoming Monday!! eeeee!!!!!! My mom got me new sneakers for my birthday (they have some memory foam in them… holy cow im loving them!) so I think i'm at least properly equipped… let the sore muscles begin!
How was your weekend love?
haha we're in this together! at least its just a phase 😉
My laziness seems to be happening at lunch. Breakfast is no problem. I love my oatmeal. But I need something that can easily be prepped either the night before or on Sunday so I can just grab it in the morning. The other thing is I have to actually want to eat it when lunch rolls around. I'd been getting fast food so much lately, it was getting really bad. I'm trying out fruit and grilled chicken for lunch and pita chips and cheese for a snack. So far it's working. I just have to hope it either works again next week, or I can figure out something else.
I always have a cold high fiber cereal for breakfast and that doesn't take any effort to make. But I do love to toss leftover veggies into some egg whites for a great lunch sandwich!
Smoothies and salads. I have all the stuff ready to go at all times. Also, I love Cheerios and protein bars. I'm boring I know, that's why I turn to you for beautiful food pics. 🙂 I wish you lived next door. I'd pay you to bring me a plate over every day. 🙂
I use batched veggies in eggs, but they don't come out nearly as perty as yours! 🙂 I'm pretty good about roasting a dozen trays of vegetables at once for various uses throughout the week.
Mmmm that looks a lot better than what I do with my leftovers!
Def try it out! Would you believe I've never had a scone!? Omg I need to fix that ASAP eh? =)
Love it!
mmm! now I want some b.sprouts too!
It helps prevent my kitchen sink from turning into a leaning tower of pots and pans too =) which as you know, is oh-so crucial! hehe
Go you for always making time for breakfast! Now that i'm starting boot camp i'll die without it so that should help me keep up with the goal to always have breakfast! =) So far i'm doing good with it!
Cooking and prepping in batches makes allll the difference right?! I tell everyone I know to try it! =)
This is a great idea! I skip breakfast sometimes too and I know I shouldn't. I either get so preoccupied or super lazy! If I already had some food precooked that would definitely help out!
Homemade is always better! <3 and fruit is sweet enough as it is – rock on Marina!
bahaha "hangry" is the best way to put it — I get soooooooo flipping nuts if I am hungry. =)
Ohmygosh girl — that sounds SO GOOD!
I'm desperate to get back on the green monster bandwagon — the hardest part is getting the habit going again! Thanks so much Sara!!!! <3 xoxo

well crap
"Since I've been with the Reds in 1989, we've never had a farm system this loaded," Bowden said. "If we were the New York Yankees and had unlimited dollars, we could have traded for Colon, (Jeff) Weaver, Rolen, (Cliff) Floyd, (Kenny) Rogers and Finley and gotten them all -- and still held onto our top five prospects. That's an amazing statement."

Cueto does not have it today...
Nats 8 hitters have done very well the last couple of days.
number 8 hitter again...
I thought this was a match-up of aces & not #5's!
The older I get - the better I was
and yes - I hate the Cardinals (Reds fan since 1958)

WASHINGTON -- Under the heading "Notification of Possible Income Underreporting," the Internal Revenue Service has sent letters to thousands of small businesses asking them to take a second look at their taxes. The campaign targets businesses accepting credit and debit cards, especially traditionally cash-based companies with an above average percentage of sales made with cards.
Businesses were selected for inquiry by comparing national averages of credit or debit card transactions with cash transactions. Although the IRS has noted the letters do not represent an audit, it is requesting small business owners to complete a form to "to explain why the portion of your gross receipts from noncard payments appears unusually low."
While the letters were sent to a relatively small number of small business owners (so far about 20,000), they have left many wondering whether the government is gearing up for a crackdown in an attempt to close the so-called "tax gap" by searching for harder-to-track cash payments, which are more often underreported.
That gap, which represents the difference between what is legitimately owed and what is actually paid, is estimated to be more than $100 billion for small businesses. The concern among small businesses is whether the letters focused on credit card transactions are only a first step in what may prove to be a significant increase in scrutiny by the IRS on mom-and-pop companies with a large percentage of cash transactions.

From the Battlefield to Domestic Airspace: An Analysis of the Evolving Roles and Expectations of Drone Technology
Perhaps one of the most notable developments, with respect to overall impact, to emerge from the War on Terror is the Unmanned Aerial System (UAS), or drone. This technology has revolutionized the U.S. Military, and following a long history of military technology shifting to domestic law enforcement operations, will likely impact law enforcement in a significant manner. This transition from the battlefield to domestic airspace is not without hazards or consequences. If drone technology is to be used effectively and efficiently by domestic law enforcement agencies to enhance public safety, prudence must prevail. The U.S. Departmentof Homeland Security's (DHS) Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is leading the way for the implementation of this technology into domestic operations. CBP's short history with drone technology, as well as its future endeavors, will be examined in this paper and provide a framework for improving the transition of drone technology from the battlefield to domestic airspace.
