Goldenvoice ready to roar in Orange County
INDIO, Calif. — In one corner stands a music promoter that made its mark in L.A.'s punk scene, throwing gritty events at warehouses and velodromes, giving voice to songs like "Beat Me Senseless" and "I Kill Children" before birthing an annual desert bacchanal that might be the world's most successful music festival.
In the other corner is the master-planned community that put the O.C. in Orange County, where safety, schooling and temperance are hallmarks and a homeowners association can overrule one's choice of house paint.
Today, growth and maturity have made Goldenvoice and the city of Irvine more natural bedfellows than they might have been not so long ago, and commerce has brought them together. Government officials say the two sides are putting the final touches on a contract that would allow Goldenvoice, the promoter behind the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, to stage a large, multi-day music festival at the Orange County Great Park as soon as 2013.
Officials said the first festival could draw more than 150,000 people. It would likely be the largest event yet held at the park, which is being built on the site of the decommissioned El Toro Marine Corps Air Station — a "signature event," said Great Park Chief Executive Mike Ellzey, "completely unique and distinct."
The foray into Orange County could be the trickiest play yet for Goldenvoice, requiring a deft diplomatic touch. "We don't want to turn this town upside-down," said Steven Choi, a member of the Irvine City Council and the Great Park's board of directors. Choi suggested that the Orange County event could even be alcohol-free — which would indeed be a far cry from the sun-baked revelry of Coachella.
In an industry saddled with financial, technological and cultural uncertainty, Goldenvoice has enjoyed a striking ascent in recent years, reaching a lofty position as both ringmaster and kingmaker. This spring, the company doubled its Coachella crowed by expanding to two weekends, then added a day to the festival's country cousin, Stagecoach, and still sold out 55,000 passes. The aggregate attendance at the desert festivals passed a half-million for the first time, with a remarkable 650,000.
Now, Goldenvoice is preparing to plant its flag not in Indio, on the fringes of the metropolis, but in the heart of the Orange County suburbs. Goldenvoice President Paul Tollett said the new festival would be "not Coachella," though he did not say what the alternative might be. A possible model, he said, could be the fabled US festivals thrown north of San Bernardino by Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak in the early 1980s, with each day used to celebrate a distinct musical genre. "It's just too early," Tollett said.
As something akin to a warm-up, Goldenvoice is promoting the music-and-skate-punk Vans Warped Tour, scheduled to be held at the Great Park in June. Reflecting the discussions to come, several officials expressed reservations about that event. At a recent park board meeting, member Larry Agran, an Irvine council member, joked that he left popular music in the Perry Como era. When he looked at the Warped Tour website, he said, "it kind of frightened me."
Any expansion to the south would further fuel Goldenvoice's ability to shape the very soundtrack of the West.
Typically, concert promotion is a hidden sector of the music industry — fans come for the acts, not the company booking the venue and printing the tickets. But Goldenvoice's growth in the last decade has enabled it to flip the equation — "fans became loyal to Goldenvoice," said Kevin Lyman, who worked for the company for a decade before launching the Warped Tour.
Goldenvoice's early years were spent on the outside looking in. In the 1980s, riding the cacophonous and often outlandish antics of such acts as the Circle Jerks and the Dead Kennedys, Goldenvoice gave an air of unity and legitimacy to the West Coast punk scene — without eroding its proud sense of rebellion, which many viewed as no small feat.
"It made you feel like you were part of this secret, underground society," said Brett Gurewitz, a founding member of the band Bad Religion and the punk rock entrepreneur behind Silver Lake's Epitaph Records. Last fall, Goldenvoice celebrated 30 years with a string of concerts at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium, recognizing the bands that shaped the company's brand — punk outfits such as Social Distortion and Gurewitz's Bad Religion. "It felt like a family reunion," he said.
By now, Goldenvoice has reached a rare perch where it shapes popular music; its decisions about lineups and time slots — the company has already announced dates for another twin-weekend Coachella in 2013 — are followed closely and can make a band's career.
At last month's Stagecoach Country Music Festival, the singer Miranda Lambert gazed at the crowd and remarked: "I can't believe I'm playing last." Despite a string of hits, she'd finally made it, apparently — because she'd been granted one of Goldenvoice's choice, headlining time slots.
Witness, too, the instantly Internet-meme-worthy "appearance" of the late hip-hop star Tupac Shakur via projected CGI at last month's Coachella festival. The Shakur simulation even gave a shout-out to "Coachella," a word he does not seem to have uttered before his death. The moment prompted talk of Shakur going on "tour" — and had some fans cringing at the prospect of faux reunions of the Rat Pack or the Beatles.
By now, said Pablo Soler, co-director of the Primavera Sound music festival, held each spring in Barcelona, Spain, Goldenvoice's lineups "are a global reference." Soler attended this year's Coachella festival on a scouting mission of sorts. "Every promoter in the world checks them — or they should," he said.
Goldenvoice is not new to Orange County — its founder, Gary Tovar, worked in the early years out of Huntington Beach, and the company has played a role in the Hootenanny festivals, a smaller-scale rock celebration held primarily at Oak Canyon Ranch. But taking the full-fledged Goldenvoice circus into Orange County
raises a host of issues for Irvine, whether it's noise levels or traffic routing. Those issues will be hammered out in the coming months.
"Our foremost concern is public safety and orderly conduct," Choi said. Orange County has been home to plenty of music over the years, including an influential punk scene of its own. But Choi said officials would only tolerate a festival "suitable to our characteristics," and a crowd that is "well-behaved — no drugs and no alcohol."
Tollett suggested that he is prepared to navigate those concerns.
"If someone did a big event in Orange County, they would have to make it specific to Orange County," he said. "It would have more flavor to that county than Coachella or Stagecoach does out here."
The 4,700-acre former military installation where the Great Park is being constructed, despite being a real estate jewel, has endured a tortuous time.
The base closed in 1999; in 2005, Lennar Corp.bought the bulk of it from the federal government, then signed a landmark deal to transfer the base's 1,347-acre core to the city in exchange for the rights to surround it with homes and businesses. Under the plan, homebuilding would pay for the construction of the Great Park, which would be nearly twice the size of New York's Central Park.
But the funding mechanism crashed with the housing market. Though a respected landscape architect hired by the city completed a heralded design that includes wooded forests and a man-made canyon, construction of the park has languished. The site's abandoned runways have been leased for automotive tests; vacant land has been rented to strawberry growers.
The Goldenvoice festival, if successful, could go a long way toward giving the park a taste of the cachet the county has long envisioned, officials said. It could also be lucrative for the county; government documents outlining early negotiations suggest that Goldenvoice could pay the county $250,000 for the space, and $3 to $5 per person, as well as paying for park improvements.
"I think it's just wonderful," said James "Walkie" Ray, the park board's vice chair. "Goldenvoice has a good reputation. We want the Great Park to be a metropolitan park serving a very broad community. We want folks coming in from across Southern California. That's our dream."
Fans, too, are already buzzing over the possibilities of the Orange County festival. On an Internet message board for Coachella fans, a few said they were concerned that a new festival could detract from the Indio festivals, but most welcomed the development. One said the Orange County festival has "greatness written all over it," and another said he'd been "waiting for something like this to happen down here in the OC."
"Hell, yes," said Mennette Sanchez, 21, of La Habra Heights, when asked at the recent Stagecoach festival if she'd consider adding another festival to her docket. "We would crawl over there."

Smart scale energy solutions for heating systems
Constant monitoring of the heat system cools down energy costs
There are a huge range of industry specific heating processes and technologies which require individual approach and measures to evaluate and improve system performance. Boilers and fired heaters are typically large sources of energy loss due to inefficient combustion, improper operation, and poor maintenance. The simplest way of evaluating such losses is efficiency measurement.
Heating system efficiency
By monitoring parameters like fuel flow, combustion air, flue gas temperature or thermal energy transfer rate the efficiency of heat production can be evaluated to:
Identify, quantify and allocate losses in the system, e.g. due to idle or part load operation of the burner
Benchmark boilers, consumers and optimize their use
Minimize maintenance cost and downtimes
Quantify measures such as preheating of combustion air
Specific energy consumption
The allocation of energy usage to specific areas and processes is one of the key factors for energy management systems (e.g. ISO 50001) and precondition for transparent bookkeeping .The exact measurement of heating energy consumption per product unit or per m³ and year is also essential to assess the system efficiency and helpful to optimize production processes. The loads that significantly affect costs can be highlighted. Furthermore the data are suitable for a carbon footprint evaluation.

Police make arrest in fatal shooting at George Webb restaurant
Restaurant cook dies in shooting
Milwaukee police said a cook was shot and killed at an east-side restaurant early Friday while trying to kick out an unruly customer.
Sgt. Mark Stanmeyer said the shooting happened at George Webb, at 2935 N. Oakland Ave., shortly before 2 a.m.
VIDEO: George Webb cook shot, killed after trying to remove unruly customer
Stanmeyer said the customer returned and shot the employee, killing him.
Authorities said a 28-year-old man was arrested at his home on Milwaukee's north side Friday night.
Police identified the victim as 21-year-old Reggie Evans from Milwaukee.
"I have a 21-year-old son. And I can't imagine what the family of this 21-year-old man is going through right now," Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett said.
Maria Trotter said she normally works side by side with Evans as a cook, but she had the day off and later learned of the attack.
"We don't have security, never had. We work third shift, and so we are the tougher crew," Trotter said. "Normally, we are able to hold our own, but somebody was so childish and sinister to come back with a gun and shoot him."
Trotter said Evans moved to Milwaukee from Detroit and was working two jobs to make ends meet.
Barrett went to the scene Friday afternoon with Police Chief Ed Flynn, who said the victim was helping waitresses who were having trouble with the rowdy group, telling them they had to leave.
"They had apparently been drinking and carousing somewhere. The activity was described as unruly and resulted in them throwing things around the restaurant and generally behaving very badly, and that's why the wait staff intervened," Flynn said.
But it sadly didn't end there.
"There was a struggle on the scene as the cook intervened with the waitresses to try to eject the unruly patrons. It was one of those patrons who returned with a firearm and murdered the cook," Flynn said.
Flynn said the people with the shooter identified him, and police scoured the city for him.
"It's a thriving commercial district, and I appreciate the response Capt. Rapp is going to provide in terms of reassuring people that the police are here. But frankly, the priority right now is not Oakland Avenue, the priority is finding the murderer," Milwaukee Alderman Nik Kovac said.
Police did not name the suspect but said he has a lengthy criminal record.
Barrett said the Milwaukee Police Department is devoting a lot of resources to this case.
VIDEO: Police chief, mayor discuss George Webb shooting
Even though police arrested a suspect, there was still anxiety on the east side.
Teagan Kohlbeck lives 50 feet from the George Webb restaurant.
"Somebody was just trying to do their part, make sure that George Webb's was a safe environment for the customers, then they get shot and killed," Kohlbeck said.
Fellow University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee student, Dana Bauer, who is Kohlbeck's roommate, found out after leaving her apartment around 3 a.m.
"We didn't know what was going on, and then someone told us something bad happened," Bauer said.
"It's just really shocking that this would happen so close to the UW campus. I thought this was a safe area to be in," Kohlbeck said.
Michelle MacKinnon manages nearby apartments.
"It's a good place, mostly retirees and college students, but this kind of crime doesn't happen here. This happens in the center of Milwaukee, not on the east side," MacKinnon said.
Patrick Tomlinson has only lived on the east side for a few months. He was caught off-guard by the shooting.
"Guy working at George Webb at 2 in the morning? There's just no sense in it," Tomlinson said.
A new lock is being put on the door of George Webb. The restaurant was closed all day Friday.

I made the following statement in another paper of mine:
Another relevant factor to take into consideration is Luther's ravings when he was an old, embittered, sick man (disgusted even with most Protestants, including his own party, let alone Catholics): often regarded as from 1543 till his death in 1546. Many — if not most — Luther scholars think they should be taken with a large grain of salt: certainly not literally all down the line. Some of these rantings are blatantly anti-Catholic in nature; other famous pontifications from this period are his jeremiads against the "Sacramentarians" (Protestants who denied the Real Presence in the Eucharist) and the Jews.
The context had to do with Luther's view of the Catholic Church: whether it still retained Christianity or could be regarded as Christian in some sense. I documented his affirmative views in that paper, but I also noted that he said many negative things, and that as an old man his rhetoric was so ratcheted-up that it must be interpreted a bit differently, taking his illness and frustrations, etc. into consideration.
Now, that rankled and distressed James Swan, an anti-Catholic Reformed Protestant polemicist, to such an extent that he felt compelled to rail about it on his site, Boors All: as usual, neither naming me nor linking to the paper where I stated this, so that folks could examine context (even though he quotes me directly).
All of this is quite ironic and ridiculous, of course, since Swan rants constantly about how Catholic apologists care nothing about context. Moreover, if I dare to show up on his site to give the link to the latest paper of mine that he is obsessed with as of late, and dare to present another side, he deletes everything I put up. Can't be too careful these days, in preserving cynical propaganda against criticism from those wascally wicked "Romanists"!! Here is what he wrote today:
Oh no with Luther, if he's saying something Romanists don't like which disagrees with their preconceived historical revisionism, Luther isn't "developing." Rather, he was such an erratic thinker that he contradicted himself month to month, and… to make it worse, he was "an old, embittered, sick man" so anything he said later in his life can't be trusted. . . .
Luther did not consider the defenders of the papacy to be Christians, and even in 1520, in a restrained way he's saying the same thing he did 20 years later when he was "an old, embittered, sick man."
First of all, I didn't say that we should entirely discount "anything" Luther wrote when he was old, sick, and embittered. I simply stated that it was "another relevant factor" and that (Protestant) Luther scholars "think they should be taken with a large grain of salt: certainly not literally all down the line." Big wow! This is, unfortunately, classic Swan tactics: distort what the opponent says; don't cite it in context; don't provide a link for the same ends; don't allow the person to respond on your site; then proceed to tear down the straw man that isn't even the person's actual opinion, in an effort to defame and belittle. I never claimed that later Luther statements were to be completely disregarded or dismissed. But for Swan (given to myths and fairy-tales, above all, whenever the detested, despised "Romanists" are involved), somehow I did do that.
I shall now proceed to back up everything I stated from Protestant biographers, and even from John Calvin and Heinrich Bullinger: contemporaries, fellow "reformers" and acquaintances of Luther (if only by letter).
Roland H. Bainton
[author of Here I Stand: A Life of Martin Luther (New York: Mentor Books, 1950): without question the most well-known and probably most renowned — certainly most influential — Luther biography in English; citations from the Internet Archive version, that can easily be searched by word; excerpts from chapter 22: "The Measure of the Man"]
The last sixteen years of Luther's life, from the Augsburg Confession in 1530 to his death in 1546, are commonly treated more cursorily by biographers than the earlier period, if indeed they are not omitted altogether. There is a measure of justification for this comparative neglect because the last quarter of Luther's life was neither determinative for his ideas nor crucial for his achievements. . . .
. . . the conflicts and the labors of the dramatic years had impaired his health and made him prematurely an irascible old man, petulant, peevish, unrestrained, and at times positively coarse. This is no doubt another reason why biographers prefer to be brief in dealing with this period. There are several incidents over which one would rather draw the veil, but precisely because they are so often exploited to his discredit they are not to be left unrecorded. The most notorious was his attitude toward the bigamy of the landgrave, Philip of Hesse. . . . Luther's solution of the problem can be called only a pitiable subterfuge.
. . . The second development of those later years was a hardening toward sectaries, notably the Anabaptists.
[Bainton goes on to detail how Luther and Melanchthon adopted the view of capital punishment against them]
. . . Another dissenting group to attract Luther's concern was the Jews.
[Bainton analyzes — with obvious disapproval, as in all these cases — the horrible and famous statements that Luther made against them, stating, "One could wish that Luther had died before ever this tract was written."]
. . . The third group toward whom Luther became more bitter was the papists. His railing against the pope became perhaps the more vituperative because there was so little else that could be done. Another public appearance such as that at Worms, where an ampler confession could be made, was denied Luther, and the martyrdom which came to others also passed him by. He compensated by hurling vitriol Toward the very end of his life he issued an illustrated tract with outrageously vulgar cartoons. In all of this he was utterly unrestrained.
. . . However much the superb defiance of the earlier days might degenerate into the peevishness of one racked by disease, labor, and discouragement, yet a case of genuine need would always restore his sense of proportion and bring him into the breach. . . . Luther's later years are, however, by no means to be written off as the sputterings of a dying flame. If in his polemical tracts he was at times savage and coarse, in the works which constitute the real marrow of his life's endeavor he grew constantly in maturity and artistic creativity.
There you have it, folks. I outrageously (?) describe Luther as "an old, embittered, sick man . . . disgusted . . .." Two of those words are undeniable ("old" and "sick"); so the only "controversial" things I said was that he was "embittered" and "disgusted" (with various shortcomings among Protestants and all of his other concerns).
Bainton, his leading biographer (and great admirer) describes him, on the other hand, as "prematurely an irascible old man, petulant, peevish, unrestrained, and at times positively coarse. . . . more bitter . . . [producer of] outrageously vulgar cartoons . . . utterly unrestrained. . . . the peevishness of one racked by disease, labor, and discouragement . . ."
I stated that his "last years" were roughly from 1543-1546. Bainton dates them from 1530 on: 13 years earlier than my given dates. He even notes how historians generally greatly underemphasize the last 16 years of Luther's life. Thus, for Bainton (and Church historians generally), this is a far bigger factor in Luther analysis than in my view. Yet I am supposedly so "anti-Luther" and they are not.
Which is worse? I get trashed as a mere partisan of "Romanism" who cares nothing about historical fact, because I supposedly despise Luther (I don't: I admire him in many ways but am also a strong critic of his theological errors and whoppers about the Catholic Church and catholics: none of it entailing hatred or calumny), while Bainton gets a pass for stating far worse than I did? That is James Swan's Alice-in-Wonderland world, where facts are irrelevant and logic is a joke, and Catholics always wrong, wherever they disagree with Protestants: about anything whatever!
Martin Brecht
[author of Martin Luther: The Preservation of the Church: 1532-1546 (Minneapolis: Fortress Press, 1993, from the 1987 German original; translated by James L. Schaaf) ]
. . . recent presentations have treated the last two decades of his life more or less cursorily . . .
It is well known that the personality of the old Luther displayed great tensions, both in deed and thought, His shortness and rudeness with his friends, although perhaps explainable, continually caused offense. In the many tasks that he had to perform, it was unavoidable that he also repeatedly made serious errors both ion practice and in theory. (Foreword, pp. xi-xii)
In February [1545] he was engaged in writing Against the Roman Papacy, an Institution of the Devil . . . It was written in an extremely vehement manner, full of crude statements and vulgar expressions. He was probably unable, because of his declining abilities, to organize it in as well-balanced a manner as he planned. To this extent, it is not one of Luther's best works, but its offensiveness and formalistic weaknesses need not divert us from seeing that once again he was dealing with essential matters in his conflict with the papacy. (p. 359)
Although the manifestation of Christianity in the papacy was a pollution to Luther — theologically, juridically, ecclesiastically, and politically — his reaction was still inappropriate, for, conditioned in his anger and eschatological bias, he could scarcely see any positive alternative in the controversy that concerned him until his end. (p. 367)
Mark U. Edwards, Jr.
[author of Luther's Last Battles: Politics and Polemics, 1531-1546 (Ithaca, New York, and London: Cornell University Press, 1983) ]
It becomes difficult to escape the impression that Against Hanswurst[1541] represented an escalation in the coarseness and abusiveness of the controversy . . .Heinrich Bullinger of Zurich [fellow Protestant "reformer"] . . . did characterize it in a later letter to Bucer [another "reformer"] as 'unbecoming, completely immodest, entirely scurrilous, and frivolous,' but his evaluation remained private. (p. 154)
Here is an excerpt from Luther's work, that Edwards cites on pp. 150-151:
You are both the real Hanswursts, bumpkins, louts, and boors . . . Both of you, father and son, are incorrigible, honorless, perjured rogues . . . But suppose what you will, so do it in your pants and hang it around your neck and make a sausage of it for yourself and gobble it down, you gross asses and sows!
The last major polemic of Luther's life [Against the Papacy at Rome, Founded by the Devil (March 1545) ] . . . was intended to inform Protestants of the true horror of the papal antichrist and to discredit the council convened at Trent . . . Without question it is the most intentionally violent and vulgar writing to come from Luther's pen. (p. 163)
The Introduction for this hideous tract, in Luther's Works, the 55-volume American edition, describes it as "the most bitter of Luther's polemic writings" (LW, 41, 259-290)
Preserved Smith
During his later years Luther's polemic never flagged. His last book, Against the Papacy of Rome, founded by the Devil, surpassed Cicero and the humanists and all that had ever been known in the virulence of its invective . . . Of course such lack of restraint largely defeated its own ends. The Swiss Reformer Bullinger called it "amazingly violent," and a book than which he "had never read anything more savage or imprudent." Our judgment of it must be tempered by the consideration that Luther suffered in his last years from a nervous malady and from other painful diseases, due partly to overwork and lack of exercise, partly to the quantities of alcohol he imbibed, though he never became intoxicated.
(Reformation in Europe, Book I of a two-volume edition of The Age of Reformation, New York: Collier Books, 1962; originally 1920, 102)
John Calvin
Writing to Luther's right hand man Philip Melanchthon, Calvin stated:
Your Pericles [Luther] allows himself to be carried beyond all due bounds with his love of thunder . . .
But, you will say, his disposition is vehement, and his impetuosity is ungovernable; — as if that very vehemence did not break forth with all the greater violence when all shew themselves alike indulgent to him, and allow him to have his way, unquestioned. If this specimen of overbearing tyranny has sprung forth already as the early blossom in the springtide of a reviving Church, what must we expect in a short time, when affairs have fallen into a far worse condition?
(28 June 1545; Letter CXXXVI in Selected Works of John Calvin: Tracts and Letters, edited by Henry Beveridge and Jules Bonnet, Volume 4: Letters, Part 1: 1528-1545, translated by David Constable, Philadelphia: Presbyterian Board of Publication, 1858; reprinted by Baker Book House [Grand Rapids, Michigan], 1983, 466-467)
He was even more critical in a letter to Bullinger (the "reformers" had a knack of griping about each other in such letters):
I hear that Luther has at length broken forth in fierce invective, not so much against you as against the whole of us [referring to Luther's Short Confession Concerning the Supper] . . .
But while he is endued with rare and excellent virtues, he labours at the same time under serious faults. Would that he had rather studied to curb this restless, uneasy temperament which is so apt to boil over in every direction. I wish, moreover, that he had always bestowed the fruits of that vehemence of natural temperament upon the enemies of the truth, and that he had not flashed his lightning sometimes also upon the servants of the Lord. Would that he had been more observant and careful in the acknowledgment of his own vices. Flatterers have done him much mischief, since he is naturally too prone to be over-indulgent to himself. It is our part, however, so to reprove whatsoever evil qualities may beset him, as that we may make some allowance for him at the same time on the score of these remarkable endowments with which he has been gifted.
(25 November 1544; Letter CXXII, ibid., 432-433)

We aspire to stimulate curiosity and inspire science learning in everyone by creating fun, memorable experiences, because we value science as an indispensable tool for understanding our world, accessibility and inclusiveness, and enriching people's lives.
The California Science Center provides an innovative model for science learning by combining exhibits with an on-site Science Center School and Amgen Center for Science Learning as well as a teacher professional development program.
The Science Center is open to the public seven days a week, 362 days per year, with free general admission to its permanent exhibit galleries. The facility, which opened in February 1998, spans more than 400,000 sq. feet and includes four major exhibit areas. World of Life probes the commonalities of the living world, from the single-celled bacterium to the 100-trillion-celled human being; Creative World examines the ways people employ technology to meet their needs for transportation, communication and structures; and Ecosystems, a major expansion opened in March of 2010, features an unprecedented blend of nearly 400 species of live plants and animals, and hands-on exhibits in 11 immersive environments. Ecosystems highlights include a 188,000 gallon kelp tank populated with live kelp, fish, and other marine life, a desert flash flood, and a special gallery dedicated to the urban ecology of Los Angeles. The Ecosystems experience empowers explorers with the science knowledge to become better stewards of the environment. Additionally, World of Life, Creative World, and Ecosystems each have a Discovery Room intended for children 7 years of age and younger. These specially designed spaces make science more approachable for young learners by focusing on hands-on learning experiences.
On October 30, 2012, Space Shuttle Endeavour opened to the public in the Science Center's newly built Samuel Oschin Pavilion. In the Pavilion, guests are able to see Endeavour up close and discover some of the science behind this amazing space vehicle. The Samuel Oschin Pavilion also features SPACEHAB, a workshop for astronauts while in space, and a space shuttle main engine (SSME) which helped push the shuttle into orbit. Before entering the Pavilion, guests will be able to enjoy an introductory experience, Endeavour Together: Parts & People, which celebrates Endeavour, the space shuttle program, and the people who helped make the program possible. The exhibit also highlights the shuttle program's strong connection to California, where all the orbiters were built. Endeavour Together includes the Rocketdyne Operations Support Center (ROSC), which monitored the first 81/2 minutes of every shuttle launch, Endeavour's space potty and galley, the nose cone from a space shuttle external tank, and the tires from STS-134, Endeavour's final mission. In addition to the orbiter, our unique collection of Air and Space Exhibits explores the design of aircraft, spacecraft, and space probes for specific tasks by applying the principles of air, space, and flight.
The Science Center also hosts international touring exhibits and has an educationally focused IMAX Theater with a capacity to create images of exceptional clarity and impact through the use of the largest film frame in the motion picture industry. The 7-story screen brings to life worlds as small as an atom and as vast as the universe.

Hello, please provide any feedback as you want.
It seems like you're drawing inspiration from the paper leaves hanging from the ceiling. This uses the same material, paper, to give the material in bulk a new form. I wonder what the significance will be of a giant paper dragon hanging from the ceiling. Also, swaying it in some manner, by hand or using a vent, and projecting lights of different color are interesting options to explore.
This is a great educational goal for an artistic project. The ukulele is also an unconventional instrument to use to attempt to teach the topic. Projection mapping seems like a technology that will grab a child's attention and foster an unprecedented appreciated for both tech and the instrument and learning about music while playing music.
I like your idea a lot, and I agree that combining pictures of various spots in CMU with different art styles is really cool. I would recommend surrealism artists like Magritte, Dali, and Escher. You can even play with the idea of time and infinite space if you have enough time. I look forward to your outcome, good job!

New Delhi (India), October 8 (ANI): Ahead of negotiations at the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) in Bangkok, demand to exclude dairy products from its purview to protect domestic dairy farmers gained momentum on Tuesday.
Associated with dairying, thousands of women have sent postcards to Prime Minister Narendra Modi seeking to exclude dairy from negotiations at RCEP meet. National Dairy Development Board (NDDB) has also echoed the similar sentiments.
RSS-affiliate, Swadeshi Jagran Manch (SJM) has also urged the government to resist the pressure from Australia and New Zealand to include the dairy sector in Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) pact.
"Import of cheaper milk and milk products would adversely hit the livelihood of 50 million milk producers in the country," said SJM's co-convenor Ashwani Mahajan.
On Tuesday, he tweeted the postcards written by women from Gujarat working in the dairy industry urging him to save their livelihoods by keeping all dairy products out of the purview of RCEP.
Dilip Rath, Chairman of NDDB's said Indian dairy system is characterised by "production by masses" and not "mass production" wherein about 63 million households, primarily small and marginal, are associated with dairying.
"Considering the huge and far-reaching implications it will have on our dairy sector, on sovereign food and nutritional security and on the livelihoods of millions of small milk producers for whom dairying is an important source of livelihood, I am of the view that dairy sector must be excluded from the purview of RCEP, " he told ANI.
He said landless and marginal farmers earn about 25 per cent of total household income from dairying.
"Any decision to reduce the tariff barrier would encourage import of cheap milk powder in the country, particularly from the Oceania region. This would result in putting the livelihood of our dairy farmers at peril and at the same time severely compromising our sovereign food and nutritional security.
"Our country will be pushed into a state of import dependence, jeopardising our nutritional security as is the case in many Asian, particularly, South Asian and South East and Far East Asian countries," he said.
He said the value of milk output for 2016-17 was Rs 6,144 billion at current prices, which was higher than the combined value of paddy and wheat and sugarcane.
"It also needs to be noted that unlike agriculture, where income is primarily season based, dairying provides liquidity to the small and marginal dairy farmers to meet their day to day needs," he said.
Rath said India has traversed a path from dependency on imports to self-sufficiency over more than five decades in which the enabling policies and regulatory measures and programmes of the Central and State Governments have played a pivotal role.
"Milk production in the country has increased with a CAGR of more than 6.5 per cent in the last five years," he added.
RCEP (Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership) is being negotiated among 10 ASEAN members (Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam) and their six trade partners -- Australia, China, India, Japan, Korea and New Zealand.
The trade ministers of 16 RCEP countries will hold discussions in Bangkok next week to take stock of the negotiations.
Union Minister Piyush Goyal is expected to participate in the Bangkok negotiations, which will probably be the last meeting of the trade ministers of the proposed RCEP states. (ANI)

My kid brother is getting married in a few weeks (he's back in one piece from gis Vegas bucks' night).
I feel that being the eldest sibling here I should take him out for lunch and convey some sort of wisdom to guide him or at least let him know I want this to work and I'll be there for him no matter what.
Any suggestions as to what I should say or what you wished your loved ones had told you before the big day?
He knows about the birds and the bees in case anyone decides to be smart.

New for 2016: Scion
Initially imagined as a youth-oriented sub-brand for Toyota Motor Corp., Scion has instead drawn the relatively limited interest of buyers young and not-so-young with products ranging from the fairly sporty tC to the funky yet utilitarian xB. After a long run, the latter has been discontinued for 2016, though the tC hatchback returns with a few minor updates, along with its more aggressively styled and tuned sibling, the rear-wheel-drive (RWD) FR-S. Joining the lineup are the all-new 2016 iA, a small sedan sourced from Mazda that, in typical Scion fashion, is available in a single trim level, and the iM, a 5-door hatch highlighted by a standard body kit, a host of standard features, and a punchy 137-horsepower 4-cylinder engine.
Following is a list of new or updated features for each 2016 Scion model:

Florida recount: Sen. Bill Nelson concedes following manual recount; Rick Scott heads to Senate
MELBOURNE, Fla. — It's official: Republican Gov. Rick Scott will be the next U.S. senator from Florida.
The incumbent, Democrat Sen. Bill Nelson, conceded Sunday afternoon after the results of the manual recount showed Scott with 10,033 more votes.
Nelson conceded via a video statement, cutting off any further legal challenges in the race.
"Now the campaign truly is behind us, and that's where we need to leave it," Scott said in a statement. "We must do what Americans have always done: come together for the good of our state and our country. My focus will not be on looking backward, but on doing exactly what I ran on: making Washington work."
Trump posted a congratulatory tweet on Scott's victory. "From day one Rick Scott never wavered. He was a great Governor and will be even a greater Senator in representing the People of Florida. Congratulations to Rick on having waged such a courageous and successful campaign!"
In his video statement, Nelson, who never mentioned Scott by name, was less conciliatory.
"I will continue to fight on and on for the inalienable human rights that are the soul and glory of the American experiment: civil rights, women's rights, LGBT rights, and the sacred right to vote," Nelson said.
In another close statewide contest, Democrat Nikki Fried hung on through the recount process to defeat Republican Matt Caldwell in the agriculture commission race by 6,753 votes out of more than 8 million cast. She will replace Nelson as the only Democrat holding statewide office in Florida.
Republican former congressman Ron DeSantis will be the state's next governor after Democratic Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum conceded Friday afternoon. A machine recount that ended Thursday showed DeSantis with a 32,463 vote lead.
The state cabinet is set to certify the election results Tuesday.
For Nelson, 76, this could be the final act in a career in public service that began in 1972, when he was elected to represent the Space Coast in the Florida Legislature. He subsequently served in Congress and as the state's insurance commissioner before being elected to his first of three terms to the Senate in 2000.
Nelson's loss to Scott was only the second loss in a career that has included 14 election victories.
But Nelson's longevity was not enough to overcome the millions of dollars of Rick Scott's personal fortune that the former health care CEO poured into the race. Scott used a good portion of the $64 million of his own money he put into the campaign on TV ads decrying Nelson as a "career politician." One noted that the Ford Pinto was the most popular car in America when Nelson was first elected.
Scott, on the other hand, has run for office just three times, winning two terms as governor before seeking the Senate seat. The fact the he won each race by a margin of 1.2 percentage points or less illustrates how closely divided the state's voters are.
Confusing Broward ballot
In fact, had it not been for a poorly designed ballot in Broward County, the Senate race likely would have been even closer than it was.
In Broward, a Democratic stronghold, some 30,000 voters didn't record a choice in the Senate, an unusually high number for such a high-profile race.
Nelson's recount hopes rested on discovering that those "undervotes" were the result of machine-counting errors. But both machine and manual recounts showed that in the vast majority of cases, voters simply left the race blank.
The most likely reason: The Senate race, the first listed, was on the lower left corner of the ballot, below voter instructions, a placement that could have made it easy to overlook, especially for infrequent voters not well-versed in the election process.
Had those 30,000 voters followed the rest in the county, who gave nearly seven out of 10 votes to Nelson, the margin would likely have been in the hundreds, not thousands, and possibly could have given Nelson the win.
Low voter turnout in heavily Republican Bay County, which was devastated by Hurricane Michael in October, likely also depressed Scott's vote, making the final margin closer than it otherwise would have been.
This year's drama marked the second time in less than two decades that the rest of the country looked on while Florida struggled with elections results.
In 2000, the legal battles over the presidential election results dragged on until the middle of December until the U.S. Supreme Court shut down recount battles, essentially handing the state — and the White House — to George W. Bush who won the Sunshine State by 537 votes over Al Gore.
This year's recounts went much smoother in part due to changes in state law that detailed when and how recounts were to be conducted. The lack of such uniform standards were at the heart of many of the legal battles in 2000.
The state and federal governments also helped counties upgrade aging election equipment following the 2000 election.
But the strain on the system of conducting three simultaneous statewide recounts — never before had even one been done — and legal battles over absentee and provisional ballots showed there are still improvements to be made.
Incoming Florida Senate President Bill Galvano said Friday that lawmakers will discuss changes to the state's election laws.
By the next election cycle, he said, "voters are going to want to have more in terms of assurance that their votes are going to be properly counted."
Recount issues
Among the problems that arose during the recount:
How to verify signatures on absentee and provisional ballots? Currently, election officials simply compare signatures on such ballots with signatures they have on file. But lawsuits pointed out that signatures change over time and election officials have no particular expertise in handwriting analysis.
How long should absentee ballots be accepted? Those coming from within the United States must be received by 7 p.m. on election day while those coming from overseas can be accepted up to 10 days after the polls close. In both cases, the ballots need to be postmarked no later than election day.
The time line for recounts. Election workers toiled around the clock for days after a machine recount was ordered in the Senate, governor and agriculture commission races. Three of the state's 67 counties didn't complete their recounts by the state-mandated deadline. Manual recounts were much smoother, but those only involved the 90,000 or so ballots showing no or too many candidates marked in a race, not the more than 8 million cast statewide.
A bigger issue is the state's election equipment. The new technology introduced post-2000 to replace antiquated voting machine is now also becoming outdated. Mechanical problems played a role in Palm Beach, Broward and Hillsborough counties missing the machine-recount deadline.
Grants from the state and federal governments helped counties upgrade their voting equipment following the 2000 election, but counties have been responsible for maintaining and upgrading it, costs they typically put off for as long as possible.
"They are going to have to deal with technology and how to pay for it," said Susan MacManus, a political scientist at the University of South Florida. "Now the counties have to pay for it and election equipment is very expensive."
Scott will join fellow Republican Marco Rubio in the Senate Jan. 3. It will be the first time since Reconstruction that Florida has had two GOP senators.
Lt. Gov. Carlos Lopez-Cantera will fill out the final days of Scott's term as governor until DeSantis takes office Jan. 8
It's unclear what's next for Nelson, who grew up in Brevard County.
He has continued to call the Space Coast "home" throughout his career, though he hasn't lived here since being elected Insurance Commissioner in 1994. He still owns land in Malabar, though he lives in Orlando when not in Washington.

Caroling in Greece is somewhat different than what you see in the movies. It never involves pitch perfect people singing beautifully in harmony with bells. Nope. It's tiny humans who had no musical education in any way and can never sing on key with a musical triangle that they ring without rhythm or beat, banging on strange people's doors (always unsupervised, which I find very unsafe and unsettling!) at the crack of dawn and you are supposed to give them money. Also, those tiny humans get very irritated if you expect them to sing the whole song, which most of them don't know all the lyrics.
To all those people who allow their kids to come and ring my doorbell before eight o clock on Christmas eve, if I ever find out who you are, I will egg your house!
Some Christmas spirit for you...

Excellent prognosis, Yule and Santa
I got the most wonderful news today. Somewhere in between doctor appointments and exams and worrying about hypothyroidism and rai I was let know my condition is treatable and I am going to be okay. Of course we won't really know till it's done and I will have to check it every six months, but things seem as good as it could possibly be. I am still confused about the potential of metastasis into the lymph nodes. If I understood correctly it hasn't spread there but again we will be sure after the myriad of tests that await me. Currently I am trying to find the first possible appointment for the treatment because the longer I wait without hormones the sicker I get.
The only downside is that I also found out that because of a radioactive exam I will have to spend 20 days in the row away from my lovely baby and husband. I have tried to explain her as simply as possible and in the calmest manner. I am trying to make it seem as the most natural thing so she doesn't get scared. I am trying to focus on the silver lining. Through hardships we learn and she will have to deal with the fact she can't see mommy for a while and perhaps balance out a little her separation anxiety.
I don't know if I have mentioned it but when I first found out I begun crying over the fact I would have to be away from her for 10 days. Thank Goddess they didn't tell me right away 20. Through this experience I found out I have to deal with my separation anxiety too. I have been overwhelmed by the love people showed me. I let a few of my closest people which is so unlike me(noone knew I had the surgery). I did it because it felt like I was facing the situation head on and not hiding from it and people surprised me.
But in the middle of this unsettling situation we are celebrating Yule with a lot of happiness, laughter, gift giving, Santa and elf on shelf. She is so excited. She asked Santa for gummy bears, balloons, cookies, a pop up book, and a stuffed turtle. Although.... she asked Santa to send a pink fairy to bring the gifts because she is a little scared of him(weirdly enough!). And we have to bake a pink cake for the fairy and make a pink tea. Buying and hiding the gifts by the way was far more complicated than I could imagine! And it is quite possible she is on to us. I hope not!!
Blessed holidays to you all!
Happy holidays!!!
Feeling blessed
I am so much better today! I feel truly blessed in every way. I want to thank you all so much for your heartwarming love. Today I broke the news to my closest people and I have never been so much showered with love. I am so touched by all those people that are close to me and all of you!
Today I feel as if the dust has settled.Right now two candles are burning in front of me, and under their light I will read my cards and chant my words to the Goddess asking for Her guidance, strength and love. The scent of my incense will soon hug me in its warmth...Besides, the Winter Solstice is just a breath away and what better time is there to get rid of anything negative and harmful. May you all be blessed, loved and warm!
Thyroid cancer
So, I got bad news. There was cancer. I have to take radioactive iodine. In order for that to happen I have to stop any thyroid medications and become extremely hypothyroid. This process will take approximately a month. After that I take the iodine and spend two days in quarantine and other 8 days away from my baby. And after that the whole ordeal is over. I am focusing on the positive. This too shall pass. Hopefully after that the process of achieving normal hormonal levels will be fast. I can't imagine how long that will take.
I knew all that before they tell me. I went today at my appointment to give me medication for parotitis and I knew he would have the results. I knew what he would tell me although noone believed me, because there was no indication. I knew it would be bad enough for iodine. But, still I had hope that maybe just maybe I wasn't right this time. But I was. And that's it. Let's hope it won't be as bad as I imagine.
I am sorry if I brought you.down. I promise that in my next post I will return to my usual cheerful self. I love you all.
Blessed be.
Back from the hospital
Just dropping by to let everyone know that everything went well. I am back home and the worst of this whole experience was being away from my baby. She told me the most incredibly moving things. She is so wise! As for me, I am almost pain free, though bloated as a balloon from all the medications. In about 10 days we will have the results of the biopsy back, so fingers crossed and spells chanted. Until then I am taking levothyroxine against doctor's orders because I won't go completely hypothyroid for no reason. You have to become completely hypothyroid before receiving radioactive iodine, but that is something you do if the biopsy showed cancer, so my self medication in the worst case scenario would only set me back 10 days. It is too painful to go through it just in case. I have to wait a few weeks to see if my parathyroids are intact and able to work. And as for my talking voice is fine, but I have to wait a month before I try singing because it would be too strenuous for my vocal cords. This experience taught me a lot about myself and our most human version. I have so much respect for nurses after watching them taking care of everyone tirelessly and lovingly. And I realized of course that it is important to chase after little happy moments with all our might.
I love you all. Take care of yourselves and loved ones.
Thyroid operation
Greetings dear blogfriends. I know I have been missing for a while now, but I had to contemplate some things and I wasn't quite talkative. It turns out that my operation was not considered preventive anymore but therapeutic. It was not safe anymore and I had to take the big step.
It was hard the first couple of days because I had to get over my greatest fears, including memories that have haunted me ever since I was a small child. But when the first wave of panic subsided a sense of calm washed over me. I am not afraid anymore. I am finally free. The operation is scheduled in a week as long as I am over my cold where I will undergo a full thyroidectomy. They are expecting to find some malignancy, but I don't believe this will be the case. I do believe it would eventually turn malignant, but I will be clean. I have kept it a secret from almost everybody, but I am ready to break the news. For the last month I have been a wreck, before my exams I had this horrible feeling steering in my gut. But as soon as I got the results I made an appointment with my new endocrinologist, two days later with the surgent and I set the date for just 12 days later. Although I have been running from this decision for the last sixteen years, once my mind was set I put everything in motion, before anyone had any time to adjust. My mom and husband freaked out, but I only lost my cool every time my voice was mentioned. But even this is in the past, I am serene now. The bad feeling is over now that I took the decision. I know everything will go well. I am sleeping better than I have in years and I have faith in my fate. I see my path clearly and I know it is different from my mom's. I knew it for a while now that this was how it was going to go and I kept fighting it. But this is for the best.
Right now I am nursing myself back to health from a mild cold.My surgent(who by the way is very Mc Steamy!) told me to take comtrex to speed the process along, which I think makes me kind of drowsy. If you have not tried it yet I fully recommend it. This is what drugs must feel like. Also last Thursday I threw my back out again, so as you imagine there has been a lot of resting on heating pads and well, gilmore girls.. Have you heard they are bringing them back?
I intend on decorating our Yule tree this Sunday with friends and family although noone has been informed of my plans. Right nowI am watching the most glorious sunset. The sky is dressed in the most beautiful colors and everything looks pink.
Be blessed, be loved and be free.

What's better than a Pratt & Miller-prepped Corvette Racing C6.R GT1? How about a Corvette C6.R GT2 plastered with Jake and 2009 Corvette ZR1-inspired bodywork?
Steve Wesoloski, GM's Road Race Manager, gave the media a small preview at Sebring of what's in store for the upcoming Corvette C6.R GT2.
"Pratt & Miller hung the body last week... It's a ZR1 body. At the doors, it's got flares front and rear to fit the racing wheels and tires. I got to tell you that it looks more aggressive than the C6.R. But it looks purposeful, it doesn't look gaudy and it fits that class."
In addition to the new bodywork, which can be seen in the above CAD rendering, the Corvette GT2 will be powered by a Katech-built 6.0-liter destroked LS7 per this year's ALMS rules. The following year will see an additional step down in displacement to 5.5-liters which will be done with a modified LS3 that should be good for roughly 500 horsepower. We're curious to see the Corvette GT2 to run against the competition since it seems like it's been such a long time. Are they up to the task? You betcha.
