La Boheme
Kde London Coliseum
Puccini's opera La Boheme at English National Opera (ENO), Coliseum, in London. Tickets for La Boheme in London can be booked here!
Puccini's gift for writing emotional music is brought to the fore in La Bohème's tale of doomed love in poverty-stricken Paris. One of the world's most recognized and widely performed operas, it focuses on two central relationships: that of the poet Rodolfo, who falls in love with the pretty but consumptive seamstress Mimì; and the painter Marcello, who has a glamorous and popular on-off mistress, Musetta.
ENO is known for it's radical inventiveness. Jonathan Miller's production of La Bomème for ENO has quickly become a company classic, a production that has been slightly modernized and takes it place it the 1930ths. La Bohème receives its second revival at English National Opera since its 2009 premiere.

Jamie Moyer doesn't defy Father time with brute force, as Nolan Ryan once did. Instead, the 47-year-old Philadelphia Phillies' lefty is still getting major league hitters with guile and a fastball topped by high schoolers a third his age.
Moyer, a father of seven, on Wednesday pitched eight strong innings to best the mighty Yankees. But even before that, he should already have cemented his place as the favorite player of everyone with grey around their temples, anyone who ever studied the lines on their face and wondered where the time went.
"I don't think that I'm old. So I don't believe it," Moyer said after the game, when the inevitable questions from reporters 10 years his junior came. "Regardless of what people think or say I still feel like I can go out and compete, and that's my ultimate job."
There have been older players in the Major Leagues, but few whose best years came when their peers were retiring. That's the difference with Moyer: He won 20 games - the benchmark for pitchers - for the first time at age 38, then did it again at 40. He won just 34 games in his 20s, but has piled up 112 in his 40s. He now has 265 victories for his career, and insists he has no immediate plans to go off into the sunset. Why would he? He's still effective, and he's making $7.75 million this year.
"I don't know about other people, but I know I'm amazed at what he can do," Phillies manager Charlie Manuel said.
Yankees manager Joe Girardi, who played against Moyer and is actually two years younger, was equally impressed.
"It's amazing what he's done," Girardi said. "Any time a man pitches at his age, you're somewhat surprised. But if someone was going to do it, he's always had that work ethic, and that part doesn't surprise me."
Here are some other baseball players who have stuck around long after hitting the big 4-0:
- Hoyt Wilhelm - Like Moyer, his best years came after his 30th birthday. In fact, he was 29 when he first pitched in the majors, in 1952. Unlike Moyer, Wilhelm, who stuck around until he was 16 days shy of 50, tossed less physically taxing knuckleballs. But those floaters got him to the Hall of Fame after a stellar career as a starter and reliever.
- Phil Niekro - Another knuckleballer who came into his own after turning 30, Niekro pitched until he was 48, piling up 318 wins and making it to the Hall of Fame.
- Nolan Ryan - The exception that proves the rule that only lobbers can last, Ryan was still throwing well over 90 miles per hour when he retired in 1993 at age 46. With 324 career wins, he was elected to the Hal of fame in his first year of eligibility.
- Satchel Paige - All of his best years came in the Negro Leagues, when blacks were barred from the majors. But Paige, who famously said, "Age is a case of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it don't matter." finally got his chance in 1948 at age 41. He pitched for five years before coming back for a three-inning stint in 1965 at age 59. The Red Sox managed just one hit off of him.
- Julio Franco - bona fide superstar at shortstop in the 1980s and early 1990s, Franco used a grueling fitness regimen to prolong his career well into his 40s, finally retiring from a pinch-hitter role with the Mets in 2007 at age 49.
- Minnie Minoso - He retired from a stellar career at age 38 in 1964, but was brought back by the White Sox as a pinch hitter in 1976 at age 50 and again in 1980 at age 54. Call it a stunt, but he can say he played in the major leagues in five different decades.

SPRING VALLEY, California (CNN) -- Flames and smoke drove hundreds of people from a Southern California mobile home park, and it might not reopen for months -- if ever, a routed resident said.
Carmen Hidalgo said the mobile home she shares in Dulzura with eight family members was destroyed.
The fire destroyed about 100 of the 130 or so homes in the Barrett Mobile Home and RV Park, Carmen Hidalgo of Dulzura, California, told CNN.
A creek bed that runs through the park divides the destroyed from the spared, said Capt. Scott McLean of the California Department of Forestry Fire Protection.
Near the trailer park's entrance, where her family's home was, "everything's burned down to the floor," Hidalgo said.
Dulzura is about seven miles north of the Mexican border in the desolate, scrub-covered hills east of San Diego.
At the shelter, McLean handed out a seven-page list of addresses where homes were damaged or destroyed in the Harris, Rice and Witch fires. There were about 60 addresses on each page.
Evacuees Tony and Brandy Clark, both 30, were pretty sure their house in Lawson Valley east of Jamul was in trouble. Tony Clark said the hills on both sides of their house were in flames the night before.
But the couple has been homeless before and can handle it, he said.
"We can rebuild a house. You can't rebuild a life," he said.
And besides, "We have angels like the Red Cross," he added.
An American Red Cross shelter at Steele Canyon High School in nearby Spring Valley had 585 evacuees registered as of 6 a.m. Thursday, shelter director Howard Wolford said. More than 200 had taken up residence in the school gymnasium, while the rest stayed in trailers and motor homes outside.
Teachers, staff and students from the high school are volunteering at the shelter, which opened Sunday, Wolford said.
Many of the mobile home park's residents are migrant workers from Mexico, and it's not known whether all were in the United States legally, Hidalgo said.
It didn't matter to the Red Cross.
"If they're human beings, they've got red blood, we'll take care of them," Wolford said.
Everyone from the mobile home park is at the shelter, Hidalgo said, noting that even those whose homes weren't burned can't return because of the danger posed by fallen electrical wires and potentially explosive propane tanks.
"Everyone knew each other. Everyone's like a big family," she said. "Now the ones whose homes didn't burn down are the ones who are bringing us clothes and stuff. You know, everyone's sticking together."
Border Patrol officers came through the park Sunday morning announcing the evacuation order. Hidalgo's family didn't have time to gather up any belongings before fleeing.
"Our home is gone ... [but] all that's replaceable. Family isn't, you know? The most important thing is all us. We're all out and safe." E-mail to a friend

With its large bay area, beaches and salt marshes, Massachusetts is a primary nesting ground for many endangered coastal water birds, particularly the piping plover. However, the BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico puts these birds at great risk.
With its large bay area, beaches and salt marshes, Massachusetts is a primary nesting ground for many endangered coastal water birds, particularly the piping plover.
However, the BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico puts these birds at great risk. Even though the spilled oil remains in the Gulf, its deadly potential reaches wildlife across the country. In the coming months, many Massachusetts birds will migrate for the winter to the Gulf Coast, where oil has already begun to coat the shoreline.
Piping plovers, sparrow-sized birds spread across the coastal United States, are a star case for beachfront conservation efforts. Scott Hecker, a past director of Mass Audubon's Coastal Waterbird Program and now CEO of a conservation non-profit called the Goldenrod Foundation, said there are only 3,000 pairs of these plovers in the world, putting them squarely on the federal endangered species list.
"In 1986, in Massachusetts, there were only 137 pairs. In 2009, there were 575," Hecker said.
Though their population has grown, Hecker warned, it remains small and fragile.
"The piping plover is going to really have problems. It is the most threatened species of everything that could be on the list. It's the most endangered shorebird in North America. The vast majority of its population is going to be in places where they could be affected by oil."
The piping plovers left the Gulf of Mexico for Massachusetts and other Atlantic states just before the oil spill in April, but they soon will return with their new young. The plovers will not leave the Gulf until next April.
"We're going to have oiled piping plovers pretty soon, starting in July, and it could be a serious problem for the entire wintering period," Hecker said.
Plover species such as Wilson's plover have spent much of the summer on the Gulf Coast and soon will migrate elsewhere, and oil has already seriously affected some of their habitat.
Hecker said that, for the birds to be affected, they do not need to be coated in oil like the pelicans seen on TV. In fact, even a dab of oil on a plover's foot could prove fatal.
"Wherever there's oil, the piping plovers will be walking around in it. They'll get oil on their feet, they'll transfer it onto their bodies, then onto the eggs and the young," Hecker said.
Margo Zdravkovic, the director of Conservian, a nonprofit organization now managing National Audubon's Coastal Bird Conservation program, said, "Birds preen their feathers all the time to keep them well aligned, clean and waterproof. Once the feathers get oiled, though, they get matted and stick together. The birds get wet, they can't dry up and they are susceptible to exposure."
As the plovers and other water birds preen their feathers, Zdravkovic said, they also can ingest some oil, which can be lethal.
Plovers also will ingest oil as they search for food along the Gulf coast.
"They eat polychete worms, other marine invertebrate and flies at the tide line, in tide pools and on seaweed on beaches," Zdravkovic said. "If oil gets in these places, which have a lot of food in them, then there is no clean food for them and sometimes no food at all."
There is little people can do to help oiled plovers, Zdravkovic said.
"Plovers can still fly if they get oil on their bellies, so you can't catch them. Even if we could, we've learned from Exxon Valdez that the survival rate for washed birds is not good at all."
No methods without harm
"The goal is to minimize the impact of the oil as it comes ashore," Hecker said. "Many methods are being tried. There are dispersants, attempts to capture the oil, and the last defense is to put floating booms up to restrict the floating oil. But to do this, they're driving their equipment right in the nesting grounds of all these shorebirds. They get environmental laws waived to kill these birds in order to protect their habitat. It's a sad mess."
It is also possible that these food sources will be contaminated with chemical dispersants that are used to break the oil slick into tiny globules, and which Exxon, its developer, has admitted to having "moderate toxicity on the early stages of life" on many of the plovers' food sources.
These chemicals also have the "potential to bio-accumulate," according to Exxon, building up inside predators' bodies with the potential of serious side effects.
Even after BP has drilled its relief wells and stopped the spilling of oil into the Gulf, Hecker said, the danger to plovers and other birds from the oil will continue.
"Only a tiny fraction of the oil in the Gulf has gone ashore, and more and more of it will be coming ashore for a very long time. When hurricane season picks up, the direction of the water's going to go from the well in all different directions, so a much wider range of impact is going to occur," Hecker said.
Zdravkovic stressed that beach and marsh cleanup are of prime importance, but she hasn't seen any great effort along the Gulf coast to protect the shorelines.
"People spent weeks just watching it come in. The effort to stop it just didn't happen," she said. "I don't believe that the resources weren't available.
"Stopping the oil is the most important thing right now. It needs to be done right away, because the longer it sits there, the more birds have the potential of becoming impacted."

Shad Qudsi didn't exactly set out on a career path to start an organic farm in rural Guatemala. He grew up in the farmlands of New Jersey (yeah, they do exist) and got a big scholarship to Johns Hopkins, majoring in math and business, the first person in his family to graduate from college. He spent a bit of time in the corporate world, working in emerging tech companies because his brain works in that wondrous way, but farming was in his heart.
Luckily, he chose a good partner in his wife Colleen, who went along with his agricultural dreams, and after two years running a hotel in Belize, they bought a farm in October 2009 in the steep, rocky highlands above Tzununa, a miniscule town on the lovely banks of Lake Atitlan.
To say Shad's Atitlan Organics farm is difficult to access is an understatement. The journey requires a boat ride, followed by a truck ride, followed by a long walk up – but once you get to Shad's place, it's a lush green, oasis-y marvel to behold.
However, Shad's first year of farming was hard – and the second was worse. Last year was his first profitable year, but clearly, Shad and Colleen measure success in a different way. My fab friend Bonnie O'Neill took us on a tour of the farm, and in one short hour, I was convinced I desperately need to start a compost pile, was seriously considering raising chickens, and wondered why the heck I've never bought chia and amaranth seeds to sprinkle on my oatmeal.
Shad is a huge fan of chia and amaranth, two traditional grains grown by the Incas and native to Guatemala. These seeds are trendy and popular in the States (meaning they command a price 25 times higher than corn) but they also represent a great possibility for enhanced nutrition for Guatemala's perennially undernourished indigenous population.
A one-ounce serving of chia seeds contains 9 grams of fat, 5 milligrams of sodium, 11 grams of fiber and 4 grams of protein (and that's not even counting how they stimulated sales of Chia Pets). Amaranth seeds contain 30% more protein than rice and are unusually rich in lysine, an essential amino acid missing in many other plants. Best of all, both chia and amaranth are easy to grow and easy to harvest, with flowers that produce millions of seeds for further cultivation.
It's stuff like this that fascinates Shad – and he's a walking fountain of agricultural knowledge, experimentation and irrepressible enthusiasm. He's teaching Guatemalan farmers to throw down some chia seed when they mound up soil around their knee-high corn plants in August, so the fast-growing salvia will be ready to harvest with the corn in October. But this is just the tip of the trowel on Shad's farm, because he's a master of biodiversity, with at least 200 species of plants, animals, and fungi on his small acreage. In fact, his goal is to take a traditionally-sized plot of land (about one-sixth of an acre) and demonstrate to Guatemalan farmers how to make it both profitable and a source of good nutrition for their families – and to that end, he'll try anything!
Shad waxes rhapsodic about esoteric scientific facts and chemistry – the soil as the placenta of the earth; how wind, water, and sun act on soil's abiding intention to make more of itself; the beautifully complex interaction of nitrogen, hydrogen and carbon dioxide (which is why he raises clean herbivore rabbits in the same house with dirty greens-eating chickens) – until my brain was swimming in farm facts. But the bottom line is this is a man with a passionate love for farming who believes that to plant a seed is a sacred deed and who is utterly devoted to working with local communities to share his knowledge. In addition to all the work he's done on his own land, he's also started 4 community gardens in neighboring Santa Cruz, with local women choosing a youth to organize and run their market (thus educating the next generation).
Of course, my unspoken question was – how does your wife feel about living way up here, with no electricity (but a rocking sauna) and a 5-mile round-trip walk to her daily work as a teacher?
Colleen wasn't there to answer, but I suspect she's just as dazzled by Shad's incandescent energy as we were….and by the simple truth of his philosophy:
Growing and selling good food can heal people and heal the earth.
Unlike any other form of "development," there is no moral ambiguity to clean farming.
You plant a seed. You nurture your plants, trees, animals and soil. You feed other people good food.
That's what drives Shad Qudsi, International Farmer and owner of Atitlan Organics.
It's Farming for the Future (And p.s. that's exactly what Heifer has been about for the past 69 years…)

Viridian is the standard green and is stable, powerful, and cold with an emerald green undertone. It has a transparent hue, good tinting strength, a dark masstone that can be almost black at full strength, and a slow drying time in oil form. Viridian is commonly replaced by the darker, more saturated, and staining Phthalo Greens, but its properties make it a necessary part of the palette of an experienced landscape painter.
Viridian has excellent permanence, except in high-temperature work, and is highly valued as a glazing color.
Viridian is slightly toxic.
Viridian's name comes from the Latin viridis, meaning green. The process for manufacturing Viridian, or Transparent Oxide of Chromium, was patented by Guignet in Paris in 1859. However, it had actually been discovered by Pannetier and Binet in 1838. Viridian replaced Verdigris, which was reactive and unstable, and Emerald Green, which was a poisonous copper aceto-arsenite used as a rat poison in the sewers of Paris.
Emerald Chromium Oxide, Emeraude Green, French Veronese Green, Guignet's Green, Pannetier's Green, Permanent Green, Smaragd Green, Transparent Oxide of Chromium, Vert Emeraude. Casali's Green and Mittler's Green are varieties of Viridian. Viridian has historically been sold under the name Emerald Green, but they are currently considered to be and are marketed as two different pigments.
iron oxides
Burnt Sienna is a warm, mid-brown color formed by burning the yellow-brown limonite clay called Raw Sienna. It ranges from semi-opaque to semi-transparent due to the combination of its opaque, red-brown mass tone and its transparent, orangey undertone. It is an excellent mixing complement for blues and greens and creates salmon or peach colored tints when mixed with white. It can be useful for subduing bright colors and does not get chalky in dark mixtures.
Burnt Sienna has good permanence and is considered one of the most versatile of the permanent pigments.
Burnt Sienna has no significant hazards.
Burnt Sienna has been used as a pigment since prehistoric times, but its current name came about during the Renaissance. It comes from the city of Siena, in Italy, and is short for terra di Siena, meaning earth of Siena. Sienna was famous for the mining and production of earth pigments from the Renaissance until World War II. Due to the depletion of clay deposits in Tuscany, Italian siennas now come from other areas, including Sicily and Sardinia.

Warm, windy Saturday launches Easter egg hunt season
Album 02
on photos below to enlarge.]
[April 15, 2014]
Send a link to a friend
Older children with experience launched with a
plan, but it didn't always turn out as expected. One child was sad
that her plan didn't work and she had little to show for her
efforts. Afterward, several other children with sharing spirits
tried to give her some of their own spoils of victory.
One of the youngest, just a toddler, was seen exiting the field
frustratingly trying to eat a chocolate with the foil wrapper still
on. Something just wasn't right about his candy. He knew it was in
there; he could smell it.

CHICO — Most days, you have to hunt down your lunch. But some days, by dumb luck or divine intervention, lunch comes to you.
A couple weeks ago, I was sitting on hard cement in a sweaty mess at City Plaza, listening to public speakers go over the finer points of something I was too hungry to pay attention to.
As I sat, perspired and rubbed at my drooping eyelids, I wondered what on earth which restaurant I would review that week.
And there, like a ray of sunshine splitting the heavens, was the Chico Chuckwagon.
It was actually more like a cumbersome, brown, food dispensing elephant, put there by some benevolent deity or the patron saint of newspaper columnists, a mobile restaurant flung across my path by the greasy fry cook of fortune. How could I resist?
A glimpse at the menu was all I needed to give in to the promptings of fate. The food was mostly standard American fare — sandwiches with spuds and other sides —?but every single item was under $8, with smaller portions available for $4 and $5.
Even though it seemed like a million degrees, I foolishly ordered a piping-hot philly cheese steak with cherry peppers and jalapenos.
My girlfriend Quinn, who is far healthier then I will ever be, wisely purchased an acai bowl topped with granola, fresh berries and bananas.
Quinn loved her bowl, which was probably the perfect antidote for the scorching heat.
I wasn"t as fond of the philly cheese steak because there was too much roll and not enough steak. A few bites were all bread, which is the mark of a cheese steak recipe that hasn"t yet reached its heavenly conclusion.
The food truck, which is still in its first year of operation, is still experimenting with its menu, adding and taking away sides and other dishes. I"m sure they"ll perfect their offerings in time, but until then, you can offer the restaurant feedback on their constantly-updated Facebook page.
The managers also use their Facebook page to let customers know where they"ll be during the day. As you would expect, the truck is usually parked next to crowds of hungry people in order to maximize revenue.
I don"t know if the creators of Facebook intended it to be used by food trucks, but it seems like the perfect fit. The truck gets to drive around and convert new customers while allowing regulars to find the truck whenever they want dinner from their favorite vender.

Actress Mischa Barton is courting controversy in a new photo spread, which features the former "The O.C." star draped over an open oven door and rolling around a kitchen floor covered in flour.
The star's latest provocative snaps will feature in celebrity photographer Tyler Shields' new book, "Dirty Side of Glamour," which will be released in November.
The book also features images of Lindsay Lohan, Emma Roberts and Shields' girlfriend Francesca Eastwood.
Barton's images include one of her lying on the floor, seemingly motionless, by an open oven, while another features her rolling around a flour-covered kitchen floor, pouring milk from a carton all over her face.
The images are made all the more powerful by the fact Barton checked in to hospital in 2009 amid a series of personal issues and reports about her mental health.

text: I've had the flue so I've been trapped in the house a little too long so I was watching "Finding Bigfoot" on TV late one night and I thought I would look up their websight and see what was on it. There is a link on their page where you can go to any state and they have any reports that were made there listed. So I punch in Ky and much to my surprise there was a sighting a couple of years ago less than a mile in front of my house. There were several others within 10 miles. Now every time my dogs are out in the dark barking I have been telling my wife that they found bigfoot out there. Now if you seen me running around the neighborhood sans clothing(which you wont) I wouldnt be surprised if there was a sighting or two(over 300 pounds, size 15 shoes, lots of back hair) Anybody else see anything out there?

EM012 – Emphasis 012 – Fireworks
These fireworks are brilliant. They're like a party on your slide when animated with zooms and fades. Be sure to download the animated example to see how it works.
Use them when you have something spectacular to announce. Notice that the backgrounds for the fireworks are transparent? Look at the series example to see how the fireworks "float" over the template background. This is a nice feature.
Lisa (PowerFrameworks Team Member) photographed these fireworks on July 4th in Madera, California. They are great individual fireworks that can be used in rapid succession or massed together for a "grand finale" burst. As with real fireworks, they need to have a dark background: very dark blue or black seemed to look the best. Have fun using them.
This image is provided to show one example of how you could use this framework in a presentation.

OCEAN CITY – Now that the lights have gone out, where do all the lights go?
As the Winterfest of Lights pulled the plug on yet another year of widespread holiday "oohs" and "aahs" from onlookers both young and old, the arduous task of tearing down and storing over 100,000 lights and large displays that illuminate the town during the annual holiday celebration sits squarely on the shoulders of the John Sullivan, Calvin Ginnavan and Bruce Gibbs.
According to City Manager Dennis Dare, Sullivan, who handles special events in the town works closely with Ginnavan, town parks superintendent, to handle the "put up and tear down" in Northside Park. Bruce Gibbs, superintendent of Public Works Maintenance Division, takes care of the rest of the decorations that are spread out all over town.
"We start taking everything down on Jan. 2, starting with the trees on Coastal Highway, then Baltimore Avenue, City Hall and save the Inlet for last. It takes us about six weeks using 12 employees to take everything down", said Gibbs.
There are well over 100 different decorations that sit in the Inlet alone, and 28, 18-foot Christmas trees that sit on Coastal Highway making the tear down process a long one, but what's even longer is what has to happen before and after setup.
"Before the lights get stored, we steam clean all the decorations, check for damage and replace light bulbs as needed, which we do in order to get all the salt off these displays before we store them for 10 months," he said.
The lights and decorations are stored, according to Gibbs, in five 45-foot trailers and one large storage building off Keyser Point Road in West Ocean City.
Ginnavan said that the process to create the larger portion of the Winterfest of Lights in Northside Park starts almost when the last summer visitors are leaving town.
"We started moving the storage trailers to Northside Park the week starting Sept. 8 so that the displays could be prepped for the set up," he said. "The displays were tested to make sure the wiring and bulbs were in working order, and we started setting the approximately 125 displays on Oct. 9 so we could have everything operational by opening night."
Ginnavan said it takes 19 employees working eight hours a day, five days a week to do the repairs to the displays as well as change bulbs throughout the duration of Winterfest, and Gibbs said that it should be noted that more manpower is needed once the displays are set up as the town's electricians must go through and professionally install the lights.
Manpower has become a concern for future years at the Winterfest of Lights, according to Dare who said that the hiring freeze that the town has implemented makes it difficult for the current workforce to keep up with the ever-growing workload.
"If we continue to cut back on the number of employees that the town has, we are going to have to cut back on the number of decorations that we have in the Winterfest of Lights," said Dare. "It's just that simple."
Ginnavan said it takes almost two months to completely tear down and store the Northside Park portion of Winterfest, but he expects to be finished by March 1, just in time to "start prepping the fields for the spring seasons."
Ginnavan has no concrete number of the amount of lights used in Winterfest, but decoration documents provided by Gibbs showed that 50 boxes of lights (each with 1,000) were used all over Ocean City, however, that number omitted the number of lights used in Northside Park, which could easily bring the number of lights used in Winterfest 2008 to well over 100,000.

Inside a laboratory in California, space engineers are designing a new generation of rover... and they look like nothing you have seen before.
It's three in the afternoon, and in their Nasa lab in Silicon Valley, California, two engineers are playing with a toy designed for toddlers. The melon-sized plaything consists of a tactile lattice of brightly painted beads, connected by wooden rods and elastic cords. It twists and flexes as Vytas Sunspiral and Adrian Agogino crunch it in their hands and throw it between themselves across the room.
One online review describes the gadget as "great for sensory exploration," but Sunspiral and Agogino are considering it for something way more ambitious: planetary exploration. This bundle of beads, rods and cords, they believe, could form the basis of a new generation of planetary rovers.
"The programme that funded this bit of research, I call it the crazy ideas programme," exclaims the fast-talking Sunspiral, a towering figure whose name, long blonde hair, beard and glasses suggest a "crazy ideas" lab in Silicon Valley is his natural environment. For obvious reasons, Nasa prefers not to use the word "crazy" in its research but includes the project under its Innovative Advanced Concepts Program. "Here, in the intelligent robotics group," says Sunspiral, "we do all sorts of advanced research on robots."
The toy Sunspiral and Agogino are playing with uses what is technically known as a tensegrity system. "It's a system where, unlike our buildings where everything's held together rigidly, everything's held together in tension," Sunspiral explains. "So you end up with a network of cables that hold rods. You will often have seen artwork that looks like this – kind of crazy weird bars, floating in space."
"The components are very simple," adds Agogino, twisting the toy in his hands as he speaks. "They're just rods and cables connected together, and rods never connect to rods and cables never connect to cables. A child can hit themselves over the head with it and they won't get hurt. That happens to be great for what we want."
To prove the point, Vytas encourages me to throw the toy on the floor. Hard. It slams into the floor, squashes together a bit and bounces. "Think of what's happening when it bounces," he says. "It's absorbing energy when it's going down and it's releasing energy when it's going up. It doesn't break because the energy is distributed."
Garage games
You can imagine that dropping one of these on the surface of an alien world would certainly be a lot easier than landing the existing types of robotic rovers with all their precision engineered wheels, motors and instruments. Past missions, such as the Spirit and Opportunity rovers, used airbags to cushion their landings. Because of its hefty size, Nasa's Curiosity had to be lowered on cables using its elaborate sky-crane system. "Drop one of those rovers 30 feet," says Agogino, "do you think it's going to be very happy about it?"
But existing planetary rovers are shaped the way they are for a reason: they need wheels to move around, bodies to hold equipment and arms to deploy instruments or cameras. So how do you do that with a glorified bundle of beads, rods and elastic? "We get a lot of our inspiration from biological systems," says Sunspiral, who suggests a mechanism that mimics how our own muscles expand and contract could offer one solution. "You could shorten and lengthen the cables to cause the whole thing to roll and move around."
The instruments would be suspended within the centre of the structure to protect them from damage – cushioned from the impact of landing and locomotion. But they would have to be very different to the sort of boxy equipment carried by existing rovers, capable of being tumbled around and with any arms or probes, safely tucked away. There could even be several of these rovers, tumbling across an alien world and communicating with each other like a swarm of bees.
The rover Sunspiral and Agogino are currently putting their minds to is Super Ball Bot, which they are developing as a concept mission to explore Saturn's moon Titan. With its petrochemical atmosphere and hydrocarbon lakes, Titan is a fascinating destination and one of the potential candidates in the Solar System for primitive life. The European Space Agency's Huygens probe parachuted down onto Titan's surface in 2005 but the cookie-shaped spacecraft had no ability to move around and only managed to return data for around 90 minutes in the hostile environment.
Something like Super Ball Bot would be ideal to survive a descent through the thick atmosphere and cope with movement on the moon's surface – which includes solid ground, slush and sea. "Titan is one of the most interesting moons," says Agogino. "We can't see the surface [from space] and the atmosphere is full of clouds. We really need something robust, or five or six things that are robust, to get the science done."
So will any of this actually happen or is it just another "crazy" idea?
"Absolutely," insists Sunspiral. "I've been around the robotics industry long enough to know that you just have to throw yourself at a vision and make progress and be successful and anything's possible. It's just like Silicon Valley and all the start-ups here. You've got to start with a couple of kids in a garage and eventually you have your Google."
And, I suggest, they are both like those kids in the garage? "Exactly," says Agogino as they go back to playing with their toy.

Novak Djokovic walked away from his five-set loss to Andy Murray in last night's U.S. Open final bitterly disappointed at not successfully defending the title he won last year or adding a sixth Grand Slam title to his remarkable resume.
But he, too, came away impressed with what has now become a "Big Four'' in men's tennis, with Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Djokovic and now Murray having each won a Grand Slam this year.
Murray's win now plants him firmly in the middle of the conversation about the best players in the world.
"Us four are taking the game to another level,'' Djokovic said. "It's really nice to be a part of such a strong men's tennis era. It's a privilege to be a part of this era. … It's obvious that the four of us, we get to the latter stages of every single Grand Slam. Andy winning makes it even more competitive and more interesting for people to watch.''
Djokovic, who won the Australian Open earlier this year, was one win away from cementing himself as the clear-cut Player of the Year, having won two Slams. Really, he was one set away.But, despite erasing a two-set deficit to Murray, Djokovic fell short of successfully defending his title.
"Any loss is a bad loss,'' the gracious Djokovic said. "I really tried to fight my way back but I had a great opponent. Andy deserved to win the Grand Slam more than anybody. " It was really tough to come back. I'm satisfied and proud of my achievement.''
The 25-year-old Serb, who was playing in his ninth career Grand Slam final and seeking his sixth title, was the clear favorite to beat Murray, entering the match with a 27-match winning streak on hard courts and having won the last three Grand Slams on hard courts.
But Murray staved him off after losing the second and third sets 6-2, 6-3 to win the fifth 6-2.
Djokovic's achievements in 2011 were remarkable, winning three Grand Slam events and ascending to No. 1 in the world. It was always going to be difficult to repeat 2011 in 2012.
"Everything worked for him,'' said Djokovic's coach, Marian Vajda. "He made history to break through and be No. 1.''
Though his 2012 was not as dominant as the year before, Djokovic still has a 60-11 match record this year, including 35-4 on hard courts.
"I played really well in the third and the fourth and had a little bit of a slow start in the fifth and that cost me the victory.''
Murray quickly broke Djokovic in the fifth and raced to a 3-0 lead and he easily closed the match out from there.

Diversity is a huge part of business. And in today's global marketplaces, that's certainly true. I also firmly believe it's good for business—and women have especially unique contributions to make.
One thing I've learned over the years is that women tend to be natural collaborators and communicators. For women at all levels of their careers, constantly building your personal network both internally and externally is extremely valuable. Building personal networks helps you to draw on others to augment your own insights and perspectives. This is especially important for leaders because they need experience, perspective and insight.
At the company where I work, we're committed to supporting women's professional goals and aspirations. It's all a part of our overall goal to attract, retain and advance women, which supports our broader commitment to an inclusive and diverse workplace.

April 03, 2009
By Roey Gilberg
UCLA Anderson hosted its second annual Entrepreneurship Week last month, organized through the Harold and Pauline Price Center for Entrepreneurial Studies, to bring together high-profile entrepreneurs from different fields for "a cross-campus pollination of ideas, discussion and collaboration." The event's daily agendas included a variety of speakers from different fields, as well as collaborative ventures with other UCLA graduate programs, including the UCLA School of Engineering. Among the week's highlights were a Fast Pitch Competition with the Tech Coast Angels and lunch discussions with former Media 8 Entertainment President/COO Richard Kiratsoulis (who spoke about financing, distribution, strategic planning and business affairs), and American Business Gateway Director Lily Steiner (who described the pros and cons of family/friend loans versus VC funding).
The keynote speech was given by Kelly Perdew ('95), CEO of Rotohog and the second season winner of NBC's hit show "The Apprentice." Perdew discussed some of the principles detailed in his book, "Take Command: 10 Leadership Principles I Learned in the Military and Put to Work for Donald Trump." In particular, he focused on impeccability, planning, and passion, and stressed the importance of networking at all times. Having been involved with the development of seven start-ups himself, he emphasized the importance of entrepreneurial activity, especially during difficult economic times. "The lifeblood of this country is the entrepreneurs," he said. "They will help the U.S.A. survive and thrive."
Later in the week, topics focused on the entertainment industry, and included an evening discussion with Mike Medavoy, a long-time film producer and current chairman of Phoenix Pictures. Since beginning his career at Universal Studios in 1964, he has been involved in over 300 movies, 16 of which have been nominated for Academy Awards for Best Picture, and seven of which have won. During the discussion and subsequent question and answer session, Medavoy covered a wide variety of topics, from decision-making to politics to the current economic climate and its consequences for film. He also advised the audience to be aware of their individual strengths and weakness. "Know what you're good at and what you're not," he urged.
The Woo Conference
The event culminated with the third annual Wilbur K. Woo Greater China Business Conference. This year's conference was titled "China: Redefined on the World's Stage." Highlighting the morning session was a keynote address by James Zukin, Chairman of Asia and Senior Managing Director at Houlihan Lokey. Zukin shared his expertise regarding doing business in China and with Chinese companies. He told a capacity Korn Hall crowd to "create a relationship based on mutual trust."
"Get to know your partners," Zukin emphasized. "Things don't always get done when you're moving too fast." Zukin also noted that though "China is ready" to do business with U.S. companies, only about 15-20% of deals with Chinese companies actually close.
The closing keynote address was delivered by Cheng Si-Wei ('83), former Vice Chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress of China. In his address, Cheng discussed the present global economic downturn as it relates to China, and the efforts of the Chinese government to stimulate the country's economy.
While acknowledging the current downward economic trends, he also expressed optimism for the prospects and implications of economic recovery. "In Chinese ... crisis means threat plus opportunity," he said. "So we need to look for the opportunities." Such opportunities for China, he said, include improvements in industrial structure, energy saving, and environmental protection, as well as improved economic relations with other countries.
"During the financial crisis, we are in the same boat," he said. "We need to unite together in dealing with [it]."
Since its inception last year, one of the underlying goals of Entrepreneurship Week has been to provide networking opportunities to attendees. Josh Covey ('10), one of twelve Anderson student organizers, emphasized the various networking options organizers sought to provide, including collaboration with UCLA graduate programs besides Anderson. "It's not just an Anderson thing," he said. "It's a UCLA-wide thing. It's a chance to make connections with people from other schools and gain access to other industries."
In addition to this year's collaboration with UCLA's Theater, and Education programs, Covey, who will be involved with organizing next year, hopes to increase participation with other UCLA schools, such as Medicine and Law. "We'd like to establish good relationships with other schools that are enduring and transferable to the next generation," he said.

Every stream and river in Pennsylvania has exceptional qualities and unique attributes.
Not only are they a source of pride and aesthetic beauty,but more importanly streams provide the drinking water for millions of people. Our streams are one of Pennsylvania's most valuable resources.
Pennsylvania streams provide many opportunities for outdoor recreation and enjoyment.
Tourists from around the country travel to Pennsylvania each year to fish our waters.
Pennsylvania is also home to thousands of orphan, abandoned,unplugged and lost oil and gas wells. Some of these wells were inadequately plugged years ago with pine trees and materials that have deteriorated over time.
On Nov. 1st, 2011 Save Our Streams PA kicked off a 'Scavenger Hunt' for locating lost, orphan and abandoned oil and gas wells to promote awareness by photographing and getting GPS locations for these wells and matching the photos with their GPS locations on Google maps that are easily accessible for online viewing.
Map #1: http://goo.gl/maps/hWSg6
Map #2: http://goo.gl/maps/Z3Ena
Orphan, abandoned, unplugged, or improperly-plugged wells may and often do act as a conduit, or pathway, allowing natural gas or other fluids to travel between formations to aquifers or the surface.
These wells have the potential to contaminate Pennsylvania's forests, streams, groundwater.
Methane, the main component of natural gas is an egregious greenhouse (GH) gas which is known to contribute to climate change.
Since 1859 experts estimate as many as 500,000 wells have been drilled in the commonwealth. There are 9,000 wells are on Pennsylvania's Department of Environmental Protection's (DEP) abandoned and orphan database. However, there are many old wells for which DEP has no record.
According to the DEP, there are records on just over 140,500 wells.According to a DEP official there have been between 350,000 to 500,000 oil and gas wells drilled in Pennsylvania since 1859. Of these recorded, approximately 88,300 are operating wells with known owners who are responsible for plugging them when they reach the end of their useful life.
There are 44,700 wells known to be plugged. The remainder are wells considered to be orphans.Many abandoned, unplugged wells are lost.
Although many orphan wells have been long forgotten and may never cause problems, others are known to cause health, safety, or environmental problems, especially in areas where new development is actively under way. Homes, buildings, and roads have been constructed near or above abandoned wells. Some wells have been plowed under in farm fields and may never be located.
When new gas wells are drilled, hydraulically fractured, or re-fractured near unplugged wells, the lost,orphan and abandoned wells present an increased risk of gas migration. Deteriorated well bores, unplugged or improperly plugged wells can provide pathways between formation layers, to the aquifer or to the surface.
In McKean County, PA, a home exploded near an active drilling site in the area. Subsequently the DEP
ordered the owner/operator to plug three abandoned wells that were discovered during the investigation into the house explosion. Safety issues arise when lost or abandoned wells are located within close proximity to active drilling.
With the increase in natural gas drilling and horizontal hydrofracturing in north central PA brought about by the Marcellus Shale Gas boom, the risks posed by lost, orphan and abandoned wells are growing.
Our mission is:
To locate, promote awareness, adoption and plugging of lost, abandoned and orphan wells.
To call upon the landowners , industry, developers and our government to recognize the hazards posed by these wells and to plug them adequately.

Los Angeles Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena might have taken the words out of everyone's mouths when he said that the 2010 conference semifinals were "the craziest thing I've ever seen."
Certainly, the four teams left should be prepared for anything, and if the MLS Cup Playoffs have not done enough to convince the conference championship hosts to be on upset alert, history will.
MLSsoccer.com takes a look back the league's long history of upsets in the second round of the playoffs.
[inline_node:322964]1996 – The Tampa Bay Mutiny ran away with the Supporters' Shield in Major League Soccer's inaugural season. Their 58 points to end the regular season were nine more than the second-place Los Angeles. The Mutiny stormed past the Columbus Crew in the Eastern Conference semifinal by a combined score of 7-3.
But then the Eastern leaders ran into D.C. United and were unceremoniously eliminated in two games. United went on to win the MLS Cup.
1997 – In the MLS Cup Playoffs' second edition, the Colorado Rapids earned the somewhat dubious distinction of becoming the first team in league history to make the MLS Cup Final despite a losing record in the regular season.
Their less-fortunate opponents in the Western Conference Championship? The Dallas Burn, who went 16-16 in 1997 and eliminated the '96 finalist Galaxy before falling to the Rapids.
[inline_node:322965]1998 – It's sometimes forgotten how surreal the Chicago Fire's run to MLS Cup glory was in 1998. Not only were they the first – and to this day, only – expansion team to open with a title, they were also the first team not named D.C. United to win it all.
En route to the MLS Cup, the Fire burned up the Supporters' Shield-winning LA Galaxy in the conference final.
2001 – The expansion Miami Fusion came oh-so-close to pulling matching Chicago's feat from the previous year.
Miami got off to a good start by winning the Supporters' Shield, but were then toppled in overtime by the No. 5 seed San Jose Earthquakes one round before the Final.
On the other side of the bracket, the Fire played three straight overtime games against the Galaxy in a first-to-five-points series. Eventually, LA won the series, winning two and tying one. It's hard to even count this as an upset, but the Galaxy were the third seed while the Fire were second.
[inline_node:322966]2005 – The Galaxy were the underdogs against the Rapids? Seems strange to say it now, but both teams had compiled a 13-13-6 record in 2005, with Colorado edging LA on goal differential.
Almost poetically, the match turned out to be a bit of a nail-biter. After scoring in the 28th minute, the Galaxy surrendered nine shots before Landon Donovan finally doubled the difference in the 88th.
LA went on to beat New England in the final.
2006 – D.C. United edged out the New England Revolution for the regular season Eastern Conference lead by seven points. But he who laughs last laughs the loudest, and the Revs won the conference championship 1-0 at RFK Stadium.
[inline_node:322967]2008 – In one of the most bizarre playoff runs in MLS history, the New York Red Bulls made the dance on the last day of the season by virtue of a D.C. United loss to the Columbus Crew.
New York then went on to win the Western Conference by beating Real Salt Lake 1-0 at Rio Tinto Stadium. That result remains RSL's only playoff loss at home.
2009 – After their loss to New York, RSL tried a similar technique by just barely squeezing into the playoffs.
As the bottom seed, the Claret-and-Cobalt stunned MLS by beating the blue-blooded, Eastern Conference second-seeded Chicago Fire on penalties.

Office of the President
Welcome to Saint Xavier University!
You are now entering the portals of Chicago's first Catholic university -- founded by the Sisters of Mercy in 1846. One of 16 Mercy colleges and universities across the country, we are participants in a vibrant network that joins more than 43,000 students nationwide and a global community of educators -- from Australia to South Africa to the Philippines. Founded early on to educate women and the poor, Saint Xavier University students today are a microcosm of the 21st century workforce, with a population that is 40 percent minority and among the most diverse in the City of Chicago.
We are important to this city, this region and this nation because, for nearly two centuries, we have successfully enabled students to reach their career goals by meeting their educational goals -- while they learned that both demand a commitment to serving the greater good. That occurs in our College of Arts and Sciences, our Graham School of Management, and our School of Nursing and Health Sciences (one of only 17 designated Centers of Excellence by the National League of Nursing). And it occurs in our undergraduate, graduate and degree completion programs.
We attract an exceptional group of students who are passionate about what they do, concerned about our world and committed to making a difference. And we provide them with opportunities that integrate classroom learning with real-life problems and issues. Whether in front of a classroom or seated next to students in a laboratory, our professors are dedicated to exploring the possibilities with our students.
But no educational institution can be content these days with the status quo -- and neither are we. The world is changing with all of you and we aim to pave the way. Our new Vision Statement challenges all of us to navigate this changing global socioeconomic landscape by generating thought leadership within our own educational community -- so that we can create new opportunities for students like you -- a diverse community of ethical, motivated and socially engaged learners who want to be prepared for 21st century careers.
If you are one of these, then this is the place for you. we invite you to explore our Chicago campus, take a virtual tour, learn more about our mission and heritage, and explore the list of our quality programs. And we look forward to connecting with you as well.

New Release Wines!
It's time for some wine! After selling out of our first vintage (2009 Pinot Noir) extremely quickly, to which we can't thank each and every one of you enough, we are thrilled to announce the release of TWO wines – both from the Willamette Valley. Our first white wine, the 2011 Pinot Blanc, is now ready for you to taste and try, and our 2010 Pinot Noir, has just been labeled and is jumping out of the bottle!
The Pinot Blanc is a bright, flavorful white – indicative of the vintage, with great balanced acids and flavors of lemon and Granny Smith apple, along with litchi and Asian pear. All of the fruit comes from the Yamhill Carlton and Chehalem Mountains AVA's and we believe that this varietal is a natural pairing for its sibling, Pinot Noir, and flavor-wise is a great complement. The Pinot Blanc is a great wine to pair with any type of cuisine as it is extremely versatile, especially Asian flavors as it cuts through the spice or just to sip while on your patio in the backyard. This wine is available to you at $16.00 a bottle, $192.00 a case, plus shipping.
Our Pinot Noir is an extremely balanced wine from the 2010 harvest, with lower sugars and structured acid. The nose has a slight smokiness to it with red and dark fruits coming through the palate, finishing with some chocolate and plum. Serve with oysters, roast chicken and halibut, or just have a glass with friends. The Pinot Noir is $25.00 a bottle, $300.00 a case plus shipping.
The wines are now available for you to purchase and can be shipped starting on Tuesday, April 8th. Feel free to email, call or contact me directly so I can get your order together for you!
As always, thank you for your support and friendship during our journey of Labor Wines. Also, we'd love to hear from you – please share your experiences, pictures and adventures with us on Facebook or via Twitter. As well, you can always email me directly, firstname.lastname@example.com or call on cell, 702.466.0987.
Everything takes Labor to accomplish. Labor Wines – A Labor of Love.
