Infertility can make women - and their partners - feel completely powerless. This clear, perceptive and incredibly helpful book enables women to empower themselves to not only deal with infertility but navigate the often difficult and confusing path through IVF.
Written by experienced counsellor Claire Hall and fertility expert Dr Devora Lieberman, EMPOWERED FERTILITY is a practical guide for women to help them cope with their psychological wellbeing, their emotions, family and friends and their attitudes during a very difficult time. It contains clearly structured and expressed information and offers women practical steps to assist them as they go through the processes of treatment for infertility.
Each section of the book gives the reader information and support to address physical, psychological, emotional and social challenges that can arise when dealing with infertility and also with IVF treatment. Subjects include managing expectations, dealing with fear, releasing control and handling changes in relationships.
The reader can work through at their own pace, making use of the coaching tools and exercises to help with each step. For readers who are starting or in the midst of IVF treatment, the last section of the book forms an IVF Cycle Handbook, to guide women through their experience.

The thing about going camping is that it is meant to be a holiday, so easy meals are the ticket. If you don't normally buy prepacked food, give yourself a break and try out some. They are huge time savers and tasty too! Hungry kids are not happy kids, so here is a suggested list of easy and filling camping meals.
Hamburgers – use the frozen hamburger patties
Curry – make it at home and freeze in an icecream container. This then acts as a slicker pad and is ideal for your meal on the second night away
Toasted sandwiches – simply butter the bread on the outside and cook in the frying pan.
Mince and rice – use the mince meals in a jar, mince and the sachets of precooked rice. To heat the rice put a little water and the rice in a pot with a lid and heat on the gas ring.
Wraps – line up all the fillings, warm the wraps in the frying pan and get the family to make their own
Chicken Teriyaki – cook the chicken, add the bottle or teriyaki and cook the rice (as above)
Sausages and chops – with mashed potatoes made from dehydrated potato and salad.
Scrambled or poached eggs on toast – with bacon or sausages. A hard, plastic egg carton is ideal for storing eggs in the chilly bin in while camping.
Fresh veges can go floppy and off very quickly in the heat – it's amazing how quickly your lovely green broccoli will flower in the heat!
Don't hesitate to take canned veges including corn, peas and beans. Packaged coleslaw that includes a sachet of mayonnaise keeps well for a few days while bags of lettuce leaf are easy to prepare and store. Carrots, cucumber, courgette all keep fresh well.
Put tomatoes in a plastic container to protect them from being squashed if you are storing them in the chilly bin.
Treats and nibbles
- kids just love toasting marshmallows.
- BBQ Fondue – half and half cream and chocolate melted together in a pot for dipping fruit and marshmallows in. Tastes better in the fresh air!
- pikelets or pancakes are great for supper, morning or afternoon tea. Make life easy and take the premixes that just require milk or water to be added
Camping pantry
In addition to the components of the camping meals you are planning here are some items that you will need in addition to the basic ingredients:
- cooking oil
- salt and pepper
- butter or spread
- coffee, tea, Milo
- salad dressing
- spreads for toast and sandwiches
- tomato sauce
- milk
- selection of fresh herbs in resealable bag for salads

I use BT Call Guardian on my home phone, which I use to send unknown numbers to my answerphone.
However, there are limits to the quantity of numbers I can block with Call Guardian, so would like to use TalkTalk's blocked number list and add to that my own blocked numbers and area codes.
What stops me using this is CallSafe's screening of unknown numbers. I would like to be able to disable that, and still using CallSafe's Allowed and Blocked numbers and area codes.
In short, I would like to be able to enable CallSafe, but turn off the screening in CallSafe and have all those numbers pass through to my home phone, which I can then handle as I wish.

Title: This City Is For Strangers
Author: WhenLighteningStrikes/youcallitwinter
Rating: Boderline R
Pairing: Will/Rachel
Words: 1800
Summary: She tries so incredibly hard, and she wants so badly to grow up, but in this moment she's very, very sixteen.
Setting: After Like a Virgin in 'The Power of Madonna'
Author Notes: Well, I apologize in advance. I'm still getting the hang of the fandom and I have a feeling I should have attempted Rachel first. :) And, I should really start looking into the number of plot contrivances I seem to be able to fit in a single fic.
Disclaimer: disclaimed
He opens the door and (yeah, well, hindsight is twenty-twenty).
"Rachel?" The thing is; he should have guessed. How many other people in his life would have tried developing a harmony through a repeated pattern on the doorbell?
He slumps against the frame, too tired to ask her how she got his new address. And he knew he'd partly opened the door because he'd thought it might be Emma again. Emma, who'd given him a stricken look, told him she couldn't do it, and had run away in the middle of their would-be lovemaking session. And now he's aching and aroused and Rachel Berry has the worst timing ever.
"Mr. Schue, I have something to say," she begins determinedly and his mind slips to another day, another time when she'd been inside his house and it strikes him with all the subtlety of Brittany trying to play a Beethoven symphony- this (whatever this is) is a really, really bad idea.
"Rachel, whatever you might have to say, I'm sure it can wait till the next Glee club meeting. I don't really think this is…"
"…appropriate," she ends, wryly, twisting her lips into the expression that's so familiar, he nearly smiles. Nearly. "Yes, Mr. Schue, I am aware you feel so. However, I was caught up in a dilemma and had it not concerned the Glee club, I wouldn't have come to you."
He glances over her head, at the blinding night outside, and common courtesy demands he call her in, but it's a self-preservation thing and he won't. "Right. Good. What is it?"
She stares at a fixed point, somewhere near his wall-clock, "Mr. Schue, I think this…thing…we have is disrupting my routine."
He stares at her blankly, "which thing who has is doing what?"
("Admit it Mr. Schue, you don't like me very much"). There are several things that annoy him about Rachel Berry. She makes him lose coherence, and mostly he's left standing as she walks out the door, like some badly made, straight-to-DVD-movie. And though she's his student and he's supposed to be the mature one in their mess of an almost-relationship (almost-friendship, almost-understanding, almost-sympathy, almost-a lot of things) there are times when he creates his set-lists just so she won't have the upper hand, and when he thinks about it (rarely) he hates the fact that she reduces him to high-school tactics.
"This," she points to herself, and then, almost reluctantly points her finger square at his chest, "I am extremely disappointed Mr. Schue, and as one professional to another, I think your behavior falls short of expected standards."
"Rachel," he doesn't laugh, and it's no mean feat because she tries incredibly hard and she wants so badly to grow-up, but in this moment, with her hair tied up, her face free of make-up, wearing one of her usual childlike dresses, she's very, very sixteen, "I apologize for my unprofessionalism, but under your expert guidance, I'm sure I shall soon see the light."
"You're being sarcastic, Mr. Schue," she says severely, "and frankly your ability to laugh off a matter which is surely going to affect our chances at Regionals is rather disturbing."
He schools his features into seriousness, and feels his insides clench in tenderness, but she'll never forgive him if he ruffles her hair, "I'm sorry, Rachel. But you're going to have to explain this one to me."
And because he's looking at her, he catches the sudden helplessness in her eyes which makes him realize that she'd been hoping for some sort of telepathic communion, "Mr. Schuester, as you are aware I had…feelings…for you a while ago. And I am aware I messed up and embarrassed both of us pretty badly," she's moving her hands a lot (and no, no this isn't good), "and I also know that as a teacher, it was your moral responsibility to…say the things you did. And that special mash-up you made to explain your tactical position on the subject-matter," ('temptation, frustration, so bad it makes him cry', which just goes to prove that on top of everything else, he's also a fucking idiot), "but I also don't think it's fair that you should keep punishing me for that…indiscretion, especially since it's affecting my performing skills, and I really think…" She's talking too fast and if there's anything he's known about her, it's that she has a knack for bringing into sharp focus those conversations which should only really be going on in parentheses.
"Rachel," and (oh god) it had to be this, right now, obviously, "I can assure you I'm not 'punishing' you or anything, you're completely overreacting. It was just a phase and it's passed, and you are exactly like all my other students to me," (it's true, she's just a lot more persistent, and infuriating and she sings and makes him feel...makes him feel, but she's almost exactly like all his other students and, well, he's started accepting the almosts).
She looks straight at him and swallows hard, "you don't touch me, Mr. Schue."
He laughs outright then, and it sounds a little odd, like he's trying something on for size but it doesn't quite fit, "that's insane, Rach, I touch you quite a lot." And he hopes she's still too young to get the various implications because that's not what he means. Although he doesn't need to justify, even in his mind, because the possibility of it meaning anything…other than what it means on the surface, is non-existent.
Before he can react, his hand is entwined with hers (he can think of thirty-three countries off the top of his head where it's probably illegal) and almost as part of a reflex action, he snatches his hand back, "What the hell are you…"
"See," she tells him, and she's never been able to establish her point without that tone of triumph (and how exactly is it that he mostly seems to end up on the losing end?) "Hence proved."
"Don't be ridiculous, Rachel," he's snapping, and maybe there's a professional code and written rules about how to deal with a situation like this but every conversation with Rachel Berry is a confrontation and if he's able to form sentences, he calls it a victory, "and I don't think this is the time or the place to discuss something that is nothing more than a figment of your imagination."
"Don't think I haven't noticed, Mr. Schue. You haven't chosen me as your partner to show a dance routine since I…since...that time. And as bizarre as your choices for the solo performers are, at least you make them with a view of neutralizing the edge that my training has given me over the other members, which admittedly is a lot. But how exactly would you like to be told, repeatedly, that you're so unattractive that even someone as asexual as a teacher is repulsed by you? Although admittedly, in pop culture teachers aren't really considered asexual, in fact movies like 'Notes on a Scandal' and songs like the Busted hit, What I go to School For, definitely serve to create an erotic dimension in the conventional student-teacher relationship. Not to mention that I myself felt an...attraction towards you, although I assure you it's completely gone, so... "
He interrupts. Because it'd be nice if he could manage to get through this endless night with his sanity intact. Only one person could have said that, paraphrased in Rachel-Berry-terms, "Puck is in permanent word-vomit mode, Rachel; he doesn't mean half the things he says."
"Well, Noah, whether intentionally or unintentionally has hurt me very much, and I think I deserve some sort of explanation." She crosses her arms over her chest and he blames Terri ("no, honey, you know what's immoral is me having to deal with the fact that my husband spends all day with young girls who are perkier and younger than I am") but he doesn't stare because he's asexual. And thirty-two. And her teacher. And in the middle of that there's probably a whole textbook on morality and ethics.
He's had to memorize each expression, each curve of her lip to know when exactly she was going to storm out and how he was going to convince her. So he knows this expression. And he knows that beneath the drama queen act, she's actually hurt. And she's sixtee…(wait, hasn't he already covered this?)
"I just want you to touch me once," she says bluntly, and it hits him hard in the gut, because she hides behind words a lot, and now she isn't, "Finn didn't want to touch me. And Jesse tried to, right now, but I…I could only think of you because…well, I suppose he looks a little like you. And I couldn't go through with it since I got so angry that you'd deliberately jeopardize our chances at Regionals for something as petty as a personal grudge. So I came here."
And she'd probably left Jesse somewhere, just as hard, just as aching as he was.
He grasps her bare shoulder tightly, (maybe her skin always feels just as impossibly soft as it does under his hands right now and maybe if…and in a wild moment there's an empty room, and that dress and he's not there, and she's not there; just her dress and his bed- stark, real, impossible), and closes his eyes, pushing her away.
She looks up at him, starry-eyed, with that wide smile which makes her look ten, (better run girl, you're much too young, girl) "see that wasn't so hard, was it, Mr. Schuester? I'm glad we've been able to put my unfortunate crush behind us. You seem to have no problems touching any of the other Glee members and as a firm believer in equal opportunities in the professional field, I think I'd have been compromising my principles had I not brought up your aversion to physical contact with me. See you at Glee practice thursday".
She's turned away, (and he hasn't compromised his principles either, so maybe that's something, unless the whole principle-compromising thing extends to the mind) but she's turning back towards him again and if he'd been staring he'd say her color is higher, but he isn't, obviously. Watching her or anything. "Is that Can't Get Enough Of Your Love", he curses himself for not shutting off the whole damn playlist that was going to be the soundtrack for the night before that never happened.
"Miss Pillsbury was here," and he doesn't need to explain, she probably doesn't want it, doesn't need it, but he still does because if there's anything he's learnt in this past hour, it's that when it comes to Rachel Berry, he never graduated high school.
"Oh," she considers this for a second, "it's a fairly conventional choice, of course, but I'd added it in as well." (oh, fuck, no, why the hell doesn't she just stop), "Along with How Deep Is Your Love. The 'No Doubt' version, because it sounds softer. And, Nine Inch Nails' Closer because I've heard it's a turn-on, although I don't see it myself, but Jesse might. And, well, Scarborough Fair. I know it's probably never been on any 'songs to make love to' list, and probably nobody has ever used it and the theme too doesn't fit traditionally, but...I don't know. I just, it's so..." she stops, with a pleading look, as if she's willing him to understand.
Then she shakes his hand, beaming, and he doesn't watch her walk away. ("I'm your teacher, Rachel, and I'm sorry, but that's all I'll ever be").
He closes the door and leans against it, just as Scarborough Fair starts playing on the recorder upstairs.
And it's only later when Emma calls him a slut in front of the entire staff-room that he realizes why. Why he'd jeopardized a real relationship for meaningless sort-of-flings. (Shelby and April remind him of someone. Almost.)

(This article belongs to the Special Issue Emergence in Chemical Systems)
The origin of life is one of the most fundamental, but also one of the most difficult problems in science. Despite differences between various proposed scenarios, one common element seems to be the emergence of an autocatalytic set or cycle at some stage. However, there is still disagreement as to how likely it is that such self-sustaining sets could arise "spontaneously". This disagreement is largely caused by the lack of formal models. Here, we briefly review some of the criticism against and evidence in favor of autocatalytic sets, and then make a case for their plausibility based on a formal framework that was introduced and studied in our previous work.

"There are other members of my crew, Dopeliven, that are making music. I am hoping that our brand, our movement creates an avenue for other artists in the city to get on."
Check out the interview with J.A.G. exclusively on Skilly Magazine Online.
Tell us where this all began. What is your history in the music scene?
J.A.G.: It started in my bedroom. I was just messing around with some music and just started rhyming to it. My dad walked by and said that it sounded good. I rhymed for a couple of friends and they liked it too and I decided I would pursue it. It has worked out well.
I have performed in a couple of huge outdoor festivals and at 16 performed at a club in Chicago, Illinois. I didn't know it was a contest, but my group, Dopeliven, and I went in and killed it. We were too young to enter the contest, but the winner told us and the audience that we were good and should have won. That was a turning point for the group.
What are the best ways to promote yourself as an artist? Any tips you can give us?
Networking is key. I can make music all day long, but at the end of the day I need to get it heard. I share certain tracks with different people outside of my regular circle so that I can get an honest critique of my music. I have music now all over the country and in other parts of the world as well. A tip? Remember this is a business. Network with people outside of your circle. Social media is critical. You have to do the work. Never stop your grind; your brand depends on it. Educate yourself in the business.
What do you ultimately want to become in your career?
I am just trying to get good music out and hopefully people will listen and like it. I want to become a mentor through my music. I want to also become a producer to help other artists to pursue their dreams. I want to become and stay relevant as an artist that not only puts out great music but cared about what is put out.
What is the hardest thing about being in the music business?
One of the hardest things about being in the music business is getting your music heard. You don't have to focus on the major label, but you have to do major label work. Also, I have learned that you have to really be in shape to do these shows.
What is it like in your city? What is the music scene like, and how is it like living there overall?
I live in Gary, Indiana. There are so many underground rappers and studios in the city. The lure to hit the streets is huge. Gangs, lack of jobs, drugs, it's all out there. There are a lot of great unsigned artists in my city, they just don't get the opportunities that others outside the city get. There are other members of my crew, Dopeliven, that are making music. I am hoping that our brand, our movement creates an avenue for other artists in the city to get on.
What are some of advice you can give and share to other artists who are still trying to come up?
Don't quit. There is plenty of room for everyone. But don't try to be a Drake, Boosie, Kendrick, etc. Change the game and be the best you can be. I believe the Industry needs a shot in the arm to get back on track. Stay true to what you do and everything else will come.
What is the best thing that's ever happened in your career?
Performing in front of a large audience is one of the highlights of my career. Also seeing my name and article about me and my group in the newspaper and in several online magazines. But what tops the list is the first time someone asked me for my autograph. I do the music because I like rapping. For someone to appreciate my music is definitely a highlight for me.
What is your inspiration?
I listen to a lot of old school music. I am inspired by rappers like Method Man, LL Cool J, Busta Rhymes, and more. These guys although different in delivery, changed the game. That is what I want to do. Make music that will change the game, good music that people will want to listen to and talk about far into the future.
Also my mom and dad. My dad is my manager, he was in the business when I was young. He did a television show for 12 years and he gives me great advice about the industry. My mom never listened to hip hop/rap music until I started rapping. Now she is my biggest fan.
Do you feel anyone can be successful now in today's world of music?
Everyone has the opportunity to do anything that they want. We all have the same capabilities to do this or anything. The key is what you do with what you have. Just making songs is not the only part of the business. You have to put the other work in to make it. Yes, anyone can be successful in this business if they put the work in.
Where can we find you on social media?

Wrigley Field is a magical place to watch a professional baseball game. Few people realize that the legendary park was built in 1916 over the course of only six weeks at a cost of only 6 million dollars, by today's inflation. At the time, it cost businessman Charles Weeghman only a quarter of a million dollars. Today, the park is home to one of the most genuine and fulfilling experiences in all of the majors. Lucky for you, Chicago Cubs tickets are only a few clicks away.
The Cubs organization currently has the distinction of the longest drought without a championship in all of baseball, but you could not possibly tell by the atmosphere at Wrigley. Throngs of people from all walks of life fill the seats and bleachers continuously throughout the summer and fall months. The park is located on the edge of a quaint neighborhood, and the residents decided years ago that day games were preferred to night games. Thus, the Cubs play far more home day games than any other team in the bigs. This has turned out to be an excellent situation for the thousands of fans that enjoy taking off from work a bit early and enjoying a ballgame underneath the Midwestern sun. Now is the perfect time for anyone that lives in the Chicago area or will be visiting it soon to swoop up a few cheap Cubs tickets.
The team has been anchored by fleet-footed slugger Alphonso Soriano since his arrival in 2007, and the left fielder is in the midst of turning in another quality season. Soriano actually swings the heaviest bat in all of the major leagues, which will make for good conversation after he deposits one over the famous ivy-covered wall. The rest of the team has undergone a metamorphosis in the past years, and many young faces have been regulars in the lineup in 2015. Getting your hands on Cubs tickets will allow you to see the budding talents of first baseman Bryan LeHair and shortstop Starlin Castro. Both are sure-handed in the field and tough outs at the plate. Everyone involved in the Cubs organization is excited about the years to come and expecting many visits to the postseason.
If you wait until game day with plans of procuring your Cubs tickets at the park; good luck. Not only is it difficult to find tickets, you will end up spending far more money than you would buying Cubs tickets right here and now. We're not ones to say, "We told you so," but we will say that you currently have an opportunity to buy Chicago Cubs tickets, and it's an opportunity that will cease to be available in the near future. If you're interested in particularly cheap Cubs tickets, you can usually find a spot in the famed Wrigley Field bleachers for less than the price of a pepperoni pizza.

What Would Be Suggested Treatment for a 58 Year Old Man with Crown Loss?
I am a 58 year old male who is generally in good health. I do have controlled blood pressure, on 5 mg of Bystolic, and type 2 diabetes, controlled on metformin, and I also take 10 mg of Crestor for lipid control.
My hair loss problem started around 20 years ago but now it is at the point where the hair loss is just past the crown on the top of my head. I have a thick head of hair on the sides and back but just scraggly hairs on top. What treatment options would you suggest to try and either grown some hair on top of my head or keep what I have now. I have looked at Minoxidil, Rogaine to name a couple but never actually used anything. I asked my personal doctor but since he is bald as well did not have any suggestions.
I would appreciate any help you could offer.
There is not much I can suggest based on a few lines of description alone. Many men have hair transplants for crown loss with good results, but each patient is different. You need an examination, discussion with a doctor addressing your goals, and a meeting of the minds addressing expectations and limitations.
Rogaine and minoxidil are the same medication, available over the counter. I don't know of any interactions between minoxidil and the medications you listed, but talk to your doctor before adding any medication to your routine. Bald or not, your doctor should be able to tell you more since he knows your medical history.

I'm just saying it's awfully convenient. The Enron "problem" is now wrapped up with a nice little bow and why probe deeper into the fact that one of our president's best friends intentionally and openly defrauded the state of California and its customers out of greed and then 'allowed' his company to be looted down to the pension plan under his watch? America's Got Talent is on tonight!
Imagine being the priest at Ken Lay's funeral. "He was a loving husband. A good father. He built a company out of nothing to be one of the most powerful in the world. And then...*awkward pause* He's with God now."
God hates Aunt Millie as much as Lay's Enron lackies did?


text: Uncle Ben knows the way to Jack's heart and that's a rainbow sprinkle donut. Mom and Dad were only upset that it wasn't white frosting, but at least that way we weren't tempted to eat it for him. I thought this sequence captured all his true emotions about how stoked he wast to eat this deliciousness.

YouTube is a Good place for any type of videos, you can find pretty much anything there from step-by-step recipes to Prank videos and cartoons. There are certain situations when you may want to download YouTube videos and save them to your hard drive for instant access even if you are offline or the original video has been removed from YouTube.
First thing you'll need is to find a good quality YouTube video downloader. We'll discuss the best options available in this article. Also you may be worried about the process of downloading from YouTube being legal at all. Well, taking copyright into consideration, as long as it is for personal use it is kind of OK. However if you look into Google's terms of service for YouTube, you'll see it saying: "You shall not download any Content unless you see a 'download' or similar link displayed by YouTube on the Service for that Content." So according to Google's terms downloading from YouTube is strictly undesirable, especially if you just want to share a video. To share a YouTube video you can either embed it, or email the link, or share to your social network profile. There is really no need to download for sharing purposes, but we can understand that there are times you might absolutely need a certain video on your computer, and for that we wrote this article.

Forward On Climate Rally: TC to DC
Michigan Land Use Institute
Saturday, February 16, 2013 at 6:00 PM - Monday, February 18, 2013 at 10:00 AM (EST)
Event Details
The Michigan Land Use Institute and Sustainable TC are teaming up to offer northern Michigan activists a chance to attend the upcoming Forward On Climate rally in Washington, D.C., on Feb. 17. We are chartering a bus to leave from Traverse City on Feb. 16 for an overnight drive to the nation's capital and the rally. We will drive back to TC overnight on Sunday with a return set for Monday morning.
We have room for 56 people to hop on board. The full fare is $90 to pay for the bus charter, assuming it's full, but we don't want the cost to prohibit anyone from making the trip. We are working on soliciting sponsors to make this available to everyone who's interested.
Here's the tentative schedule:
Departure from TC: 6 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 16th. Park is available in Lot Z behind Inside Out Gallery, and is free over the weekend until Tuesday. We will load and unload at the Visitors Center
Arrival in D.C.: Approximately 8 a.m. Sunday, Feb. 17
Forward on Climate Rally: Noon-4 p.m.
Departure from D.C.: Approximately 7 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 17
Arrival Back in T.C.: Approximately 9 a.m. Monday, Feb. 18
I can't afford the $90 but I still want to go. What do I do?
We are trying to raise sponsorships to offer reduced fares for students. Please select the option to "Apply for Reduced Student Fare" and we will contact you by Feb. 12 to confirm a reduced rate and your spot on the bus.
What's the timeline
The plan is for the bus to leave Saturday evening (2/16) around 6pm and arrive in DC on Sunday morning around 8am. That would give people 4 hours to get breakfast, walk around the mall/ DC before the rally at noon. Rally ends at 4pm; we would depart by 7pm and arrive back in TC early morning (9-10am) on Monday 2/18 - Presidents Day.
Where do we meet the bus?
We will gather in Traverse City's warehouse district behind Inside Out Gallery (Lot Z). Parking is free over the weekend, and we have been assured that cars will not be ticketed Monday morning before 10am as it is a holidy.
Where do we sleep?
On the bus! To be honest, this is not a cushy vacation trip--although the bus is quite comfortable, it's not the Hilton. It means sleeping on a bus two nights in a row. This is a trip for the dedicated activist!
Can I bring my kids?
The more the merrier! All we ask is that anyone under 18 has someone OVER 18 to watch out for them. We will have permission slips for anyone under 18.
What do I bring?
Warm clothes, snacks for the bus, signs, and your dedication to the cause.
What is the Forward on Climate Rally about?
The Forward on Climate rally on Feb. 17 is organized by 350.org, a global grassroots movement launched by our good friend and author Bill McKibben to solve the climate crisis; the Sierra Club; and the Hip Hop Caucus. It's shaping up to be one of the largest climate rallies in history, and the Michigan Land Use Institute is teaming up with Sustainable TC to send motivated activists to DC from northern Michigan.
But why now? What's at stake?
This March, the permit application for the Keystone XL pipeline will once again reach President Obama's desk. The pipeline would transport 'tar sands' oil from Alberta, Canada, through the U.S. to Texas, to be processed into crude oil. MLUI and other environmental advocates know the process of digging up and processing tar sands oil uses up vast amounts of water, and that its silty consistency means the pipes often break, polluting the surrounding watershed.
Tar sands also have a huge carbon footprint—much more than typical fossil fuels.
But MLUI is also concerned that the Keystone pipeline simply puts too many resources into a dirty and dying form of energy. By continuing to dig up and burn fossil fuels instead of transitioning to renewable energy, we contribute to the growing climate crisis that threatens us all.
Just ask the folks in New York and New Jersey. It's crucial we support alternatives—energy efficiency, solar, and wind power, among others—to cut down on our greenhouse emissions.
So we will be joining the thousands in Washington D.C. on Feb. 17 to do what's in our power: send a strong message to President Obama that it is his moral responsibility to deny that permit.

I guess you've noticed I've kind of been in hiding for the last couple of days, telling myself I didn't have enough time to talk to You. I've used all very good reasons–feeling a little overwhelmed with the demands of motherhood, nursing a nasty cold, etc. But You know the truth, don't You? You always do. I've been in one of those funks where I wonder why You could possibly want to hear from someone as selfish and whiny as I am. I've felt too grungy in my own sin to sit down with You, and instead of coming clean, I just wallow. And so I feel more grungy, then more distant, then still more grungy, and on goes the cycle. And for just a tiny second, the enemy wins.
But thank you, thank you for that still, small voice that reminds me that You chose me, for some strange reason, and that you have a beautiful way of using cracked pots in Your kingdom. Thank you for calling me back to the table and listening to my sheepish confessions. Thank you for letting me just sit there, and rest, and get my bearings again. One of these days, maybe I'll stop being surprised that you can forgive me, again and again, often for the same things. But in the meantime, I am surprised, and relieved, and so very, very grateful.

The tale of two schools: Espanola's foray into collaborative, integrated design
The town of Espanola, located 70 kilometres west of Sudbury, Ontario, faced a dilemma: they had two schools in need of repair and renovation. When this situation arises in other towns and communities across Canada it may not turn heads, but Espanola's case is a little different. Sacred Heart Elementary and St. Joseph Elementary are currently neighbours; both located near Mead Boulevard, just a two-minute drive from one another. Through the collaboration of two school boards, and the innovative design of IDEA Inc., both schools will receive a new home – and become even closer neighbours.
Sacred Heart is an English speaking Catholic school which falls under the jurisdiction of the Huron Superior Catholic District School Board (HSCDSB), while St. Joseph is a French speaking Catholic school, under the Conseil Scolaire Catholique Nouvel Ontario (CSCNO) school board. With both schools in need of upgrades, each board independently developed detailed proposals, involving major additions, new construction and the demolition of existing buildings. While some funding for this work was allocated under the Ministry of Education's Good Places to Learn, a program aimed at renewing Ontario's schools by providing funding for the redevelopment of aging school buildings, it was not enough to cover the cost of both independent projects.
Shortly after, the Ministry of Education established a new mandate for school projects, stating that funding priority would be given to capital projects where school boards collaborated in developing integrated solutions. In response, both school boards, collectively, conducted a feasibility study involving the consolidation of the two schools into a new, single building, creating a joint school project. Their proposal was approved in 2014, and IDEA Inc. was retained to design the project.
Budgets are often challenging for these types of projects, especially in towns like Espanola, where student enrolment is limited and construction costs are high. The investment from the Ministry of Education is expected to cover the capital construction costs required to build spaces such as the gymnasiums, libraries, cafeterias, and washrooms, while funds from student enrolment are expected to cover the construction of the remaining areas of the school. The joint project allows both school boards to pool their financial resources and reduce overall costs by sharing common spaces and infrastructure.
"This project is designed to keep each school functionally independent, preserving autonomy, while sharing the common spaces such as the gymnasium, multipurpose room, stage, and chapel – spaces that otherwise would have been duplicated if the projects had been executed independently," stated Franco Pastore, Principal Architect, IDEA Inc. The two school boards have been collaborating for many years and have a successful working relationship, but this is the first new building project that they have collaborated on.
In terms of the design, both school boards wanted the building to be visibly Catholic and incorporate architectural features, such as crosses and prayer corners, which celebrate the tradition of faith-based education. Parity was also a very important part of the design mandate, so the two schools were designed with similar floor plans and building quality. To reflect the 'spirit of cooperation' between the two school boards, the east and west façades are virtually identical in design and the building is symmetrical. The west side of the floor plan contains the English Catholic elementary school, while the east side houses the French Catholic elementary school. The south façade accommodates independent main entrances for each school. The north side of the building incorporates a French/English daycare facility: a collaborative project between the two school boards, made possible through funding by the District Social Services Administration Board (DSSAB).
"Although it took a long time to arrive at the final solution, it was the process the project required. The project evolved from renovation and addition, to new independent buildings, to its current form today: a joint school project," commented Pastore. The respective school boards, the Ontario Ministry of Education, and design teams, were able to compare and evaluate the various redevelopment scenarios to better understand which worked best in terms of design, operational efficiency, and value for investment. "This project is unique because it can be used as a pilot for future school redevelopments located in small or rural communities that experience limited enrollment and higher building costs," he concluded.
IDEA Inc. was recently retained by the Algoma District School Board (ADSB) and the Conseil scolaire public du Grand Nord de l'Ontario (CSPGNO) to design a new joint French-English JK to 12 school in Blind River, Ontario. This project will follow in the footsteps of the Espanola joint school project, with a similar approach in terms of architectural, mechanical, and electrical design work.
Construction on the new Espanola joint school project has recently begun and is planned to be complete in 2020.

Government officials promised no secrets. In their own words:
"We need transparency," Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson said.
"The bright light of accountability," House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said.
"People need to see what we're doing," Interim Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Neel Kashkari said.
Yet almost four months into the biggest bailout in history, the Treasury Department is under intense fire for secrecy as to how banks got and spent taxpayer billions, CBS News investigative correspondent Sharyl Attkisson reports.
Even companies that the Treasury Department hired to manage the bailout have been allowed to keep crucial details away from the public eye.
The contracts were awarded to handpicked auditors and law firms without competitive bidding. The bill is $37 million tax dollars - and growing by the minute.
Yet in one contract after another, vital information is blacked out, such as how much people are getting paid and who the key players are. There's even the Bank of New York Mellon which got $3 billion in bailout money - and got hired to manage the bailout, too. How much are they being paid? Blacked out.
Treasury calls the missing information "proprietary," a business secret. But the watchdog appointed by Congress says it ought to be public.
"If I had my way, there would not be contracts with blacked-out portions," said Elizabeth Warren of the Congressional Oversight Panel. "If you're going to take taxpayer money, then the deal has to be that you're open and above board with the American people."
It gets even worse. The secrecy also extends to an even bigger rescue program you may not have heard about at all.
Last September, the Federal Reserve quietly relaxed its rules for giving loans to banks and institutions. Since then, it's loaned out $1.2 trillion.
And even Congress can't get a top banking regulator to tell who got the money.
"Which institutions received that and how much for each institution?" asked Rep. Alan Grayson.
Federal Reserve vice-chair Donald Kohn said, on Jan. 13, 2009: "I'd be very concerned, Congressman, that if we published the individual names of those borrowing from us, no one would borrow from us."
Grayson responded: "You're saying that entitles you to keep secret the $1.2 trillion? Four thousand dollars for every man, woman and child in this country?"
"I don't think we're keeping it secret," Kohn said. "I think we're releasing a lot of information about it."
But this is about more than whom was receiving what money. All this secrecy may make it impossible to know whether all the spending is doing any good.

NEW YORK, Oct. 9, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Heineken®, the world's leading premium beer brand, today announced their partnership with popular menswear brand, Public School, for the "Heineken 100" program—an influencer and celebrity seeding program that celebrates tastemakers. For the collaboration, Public School exclusively designed a camouflage duffle bag.
"We chose Public School as a partner because their clientele, like ours, are open-minded, confident, resourceful men who know quality, seek out new experiences and are ever-evolving in all aspects of their life," said Olga Osminkina, Senior Brand Director, Heineken USA. "We hope this is one of many future collaborations with innovative and accomplished designers who align perfectly with the aspirations of the Heineken consumer."
The limited-edition weekender duffle bag features a black and navy camouflage jacquard twill, leather accents, and black nylon straps that have been die-cut into the bag for maximum display of the intricately woven fabric. The duffle bag marks Heineken's second recent partnership with Public School designers Dao-Yi Chow and Maxwell Osborne, who designed limited-edition t-shirts for Heineken's 2012 Red Star Access program under their streetwear brand, Black Apple.
"Heineken has a history of providing consumers an 'Open Your World' experience," says Dao-Yi Chow, Owner of Public School. "The concept behind the collaborative Public School duffle bag was to create a product that represents not only our unique point of view, but allows the recipient the opportunity to bring a piece of their world effortlessly and organically."
In its third year, the Heineken 100 influencer program identifies and celebrates tastemakers who represent Heineken's "Man of the World" platform. Previous collaborative products for the program include: Ariel 7 headphones, Tsovet watches, Union LA t-shirts, Android Homme sneakers, New Era fitted caps, and tote bags designed by fashion duo Dee & Ricky.

Alum: Amazing teachers (for the most part). I met amazing people and made friends I'll keep forever. I also feel that Lutz Prep provided education that helped prepare me for more rigorous high school courses and set me on the right track. The only difficulty is, with it being such a small school, it can be hard to adjust to a bigger public school setting.

Parent: My daughter transferred into the middle school and she loves it. At the prior public school she was a number who slipped through the cracks and ended up 2 years behind in reading--the prior public school teachers seemed overwhelmed and communication was very limited as some didnt use Edsby much. Here at Learning Gate is different-- the teachers notified me right away when my daughter was not doing well in class and they use EDSBY consistantly . There are after school activities , sports and stricter behavior standards--she made friends easily. Her favorite part are the clubs during school and gym. Its small and personal and the people feel like they care. This is a seperate campus than elementary in an old church.

Parent: I have been very impressed with our family's experience at LLT. The teachers and staff not only prepare students for academic success, but they encourage students to be effective and caring leaders. I've never visited a school where I've been greeted so kindly by students from all grade levels; these same students treat school property with the same respect that they treat staff and visitors. The use of technology in the classroom is great, and students can connect from everywhere. I love that tachers encourage parents to be active in their child's activities and classwork. Perhaps most of all, I love that there is NO HOMEWORK! Finally, we can have family time every day after school instead of being stressed over busywork. My only wish is that they would offer free/reduced lunch and foreign language in elementary grades. However, I will gladly give these things up for a quality education and safe campus.

Example of the multiplayer menu while in Limited mode
There are several reasons why this could be happening:
You are not currently signed into the PlayStation Network (PSN) / Xbox Live
If you are already registered on the PlayStation Network or Xbox Live, your profile will automatically sign into the relevant service. If this is not the case, ensure that you are using the correct profile and that your console can connect to the Internet.
You have more than 99 friends on PSN
We have identified an issue connecting to the Ubisoft servers if your PSN account has more than 99 friends. We are currently working with Sony to resolve this issue. In the meantime, try reducing the number of friends on your friend list to 99 or fewer and try connecting again.
The Ubisoft servers are currently unavailable
It is possible that the servers are unavailable, this would automatically revert you to Limited mode. To see if the servers are back online simply select "Go Online", if this fails then you can check any of the resources below to see news about the server status.

Please note, you will not automatically be put back into Online mode once connection to the servers has been restored. You will need to select Go Online to reconnect.

- As far as the design goes, it's extremely simple, easy on the eyes. - The lighting blended well with the texture selection, as all aim maps should. - I felt that the skybox really accented the trees, aha.
- Seemed a bit too open, especially for the size of the map. - No buy zones? All the CT's and T's automatically get all the same gear on spawn, accept of course the CT's get the M4A1 and the T's get the CV47... dunno why it's forced like that, but oh well. - I noticed a texture glitch on the trees, some of the branches appeared to have a twisted checker pattern on or a bit above the leaves, I don't know what that was about. - It would have been nice to see some details in the death pit between sides so when you're taking damage after you've fallen in, it actually makes sense (maybe water, spikes, ect) otherwise it can be rage inducing because you're saying to yourself, WHY AM I DIEING, there's nothing down here, I made the jump! lol:D
- Overall, I feel like the replay value of the map is next to nothing; I mean sure, the design is simple, everything matches, but the size of the map along with the fact that it's a single level (no variation in elevation) map made out of a few blocks, I dunno, I couldn't see myself playing this for more than a half hour at best with a few friends; there's just to many other maps out there that do this, and do it better. The author did put effort into this, which is great, and I respect that, but I wouldn't really recommend this map unless you're really itching for something new to play and don't really know what else to do, aha.

Text by Cliff Rames, © 2011
Some of the greatest vineyards on the planet were once just humble fields or plots of undeveloped land, fallow and overgrown with brush, or planted with generic crops or fruit trees. Others were once cattle ranches or sheep pastures, moonscapes or volcano slopes.
It takes an open mind, some vision, a willingness to dream, and the stamina to work hard (as well as the capacity to risk much) for a person to be able to look at a parched and barren scrape of dessert, an overgrown plot of scrub brush, or a steep, craggy hillside and say: I can make great wine here.
While I didn't realize it at the time, I first cast eyes over the landscape of my future "vineyard" in 1989, when I was an exchange student at the University of Zagreb in the capital city of Croatia. That landscape emitted subliminal messages in the form of little voices that whispered, "Something is going on here; you should pay attention; this is where you need to be".
Being young and crazy at the time, I heard the message but didn't think much of it. There was too many other things going on, places to go, people to meet….
Nonetheless it stuck with me and quietly influenced the paths I chose that would eventually lead me to the Promised Land, that place in mind and soul where suddenly everything makes sense. Call it a vineyard.
Okay, I'm not really talking about a real vineyard (at least not yet). The vineyard I refer to is a metaphorical one: it's a fertile idea. More practically, it's a project that started out as a single tweet on Twitter – sent out to no one.
Somehow through the mysteries of social networking, that single seed in the form of a tweet (a "tweed"?) has since grown, spread, and wrapped its tendrils around many trellises in the virtual vineyard. Its clusters of fruit symbolize the final product, the idea-made-real. You know it as Wines of Croatia.
Within that tight cluster are many juicy berries, individual parts of one whole. One berry is this blog. Others include the Wines of Croatia Facebook page, Twitter page, and soon-to-be-launched website.
This metaphorical vineyard is heavy work. But it is a labor of love, born out of discovery, nurtured by the collective family of friends and followers (you!), and propelled forward with anticipation and excitement for each new virtual – and real – vintage.
Yes, its seeds were cast upon the fertile land at a time before I knew anything about vineyards or wine. But as is often the case with farming, you learn as you go, pressing out small bits of knowledge and wisdom from nature, the land, and the wine (as well as many books, classes and visits to real vineyards and winemakers).
It all began one cool, autumn evening in Zagreb, circa 1989. I was sitting in an outdoor pizzeria (which featured amazingly aromatic wood-fired oven pizzas) with a few other American exchange students. While we each came from widely scattered parts of the United States, our little group shared a common purpose: we were all in Croatia (it was still part of Yugoslavia at the time) as part of a program to learn the Croatian language, culture, political life and history.
But that evening – and in many days and nights afterward – I learned something that was not part of my college syllabus: the joys and wonders of Croatian wines.
As it happened, my hungry companions that evening noticed my fascination and interest in the local wines and appointed me czar of the wine list and asked me to order our dinner bottle. After a few minutes of pretending that I knew what I was doing, I randomly chose a wine called "Laguna", a 1986 Merlot from the Istria region along the north coast of Croatia (it had a different label back then, a black one I think).
At the time I knew nothing about the producer (Laguna is presently owned by Agrokor Vina, a conglomerate that produces a wide array of decent and fairly accessible wines) or whether or not this particular wine was well-regarded by "critics". All I knew that evening was the wine rocked my world.
Unlike some of the astringent, undrinkable and cheap plonk I had come to know – and wreck my stomach with – in college, the Laguna Merlot was so soft, smooth and sultry, with a distinctive sweet black fruit and earthy quality. In my memory, I recall that it was a lighter-style Merlot, translucent and garnet – not opaquely purple like many contemporary Merlot wines.
The pizzeria we were sitting in was one of the best at the time, and I'm sure the pizza was awesome, but I don't remember it at all. The wine had my full attention. Transfixed by it, I couldn't get enough. The little specks of sediment at the bottom of my glass fascinated me and added allure, convincing me it was not just another industrial wine but was perhaps a "natural wine" – unfiltered and unadulterated.
Was the wine great? Did it deserve impressive scores and flowery tasting notes? I can't say. It doesn't really matter now. To my young and admittedly naïve palate, it was delicious, seductive, memorable, and transformative (and a hit with the group, too).
It can often take a decade or more to plant and nurture a vineyard to the point where the vines are ready to give juice that is worthy of wine. In my case, it would be another 17 years before I became certified as a sommelier and another three years before I sent out the first lonely Wines of Croatia tweet.
But wine is a product of patience. What matters to me is this: that evening at the Zagreb pizzeria I became a changed person. My eyes (and palate) were forever opened to the magic and romance of wine.
The landscape of my future vineyard called out. Eventually I listened – and started to dream.

Global chemical giant Splurge Inc has withdrawn its QN7 age defying cream from sale in western countries.
QN7 first went on sale in 2004 and was said to be the world's first cream that actually made people younger. Hollywood stars were the first to take it up and its use became widespread across the USA and Europe.
It wasn't until 2009 that side-effects started being noticed among frequent users, including 33 year old actress Katherine Futon Jones (pictured) and John Bravolta.
"Initially, the cream made me look 10 years younger" said Jones, but after using it for four years, I realised I was having to put more and more on my face each morning", she said.
"One day I decided to leave it off altogether just to see what my face is really like. I was horrified to discover that I have aged about 83 years in the last 48 months. I blame this misfortune on QN7"
A spokesman for Splurge Inc admitted that there had been some complaints from customers, and said that as a precaution it was being withdrawn from sale in countries whose legal systems were sufficiently developed to pose a threat to the wealth of shareholders.
He continued, "however, we will continue to market QN7 in countries where old looking people are trendy, such as Bosnia. We have changed the label to say that it makes you look much, much older. Oldness is a status symbol in some countries, and we see a long and successful future there".

Clint Dempsey has ruled out a loan move from Fulham in the January transfer window - but admits he faces an uncertain future.
The American midfielder has been reduced to a cameo role this season, even though he did swoop to claim The Whites first away point of the season 11 days ago at Portsmouth.
Dempsey was the record signing from the American MLS League when he linked forces with Fulham in January 2007 for £2million - but the 25-year-old is only too aware his contract runs out in July 2010.
If Fulham are to recoup any money for him, it will probably be next summer.
"It is what it is," said Dempsey, "But I'm not going to go on loan. I have to try to make the most of the time that I play.
"I'm just trying to prove to him that I deserve to be out there." Fulham find themselves in 16th in the league table after 10 games and face a rejuvenated Newcastle side at St. James' Park on Sunday.
The midfielder has come on as a substitute in the last four games and has shown signs of last season's form, including the late equaliser at Fratton Park.
But the American admits he can not wait around forever under coach Roy Hodgson. "After this season I have a year left," he added. "Whether a team comes in and wants to get me out, we'll see."

Tidy-hack: Modules!
Modules are the 'M' in Francine Jay's 'Streamline' method of organization.
They are also the secret to my purse organization success. How many bags do you have? Likely it's more than one. Are the bags that you are *not* currently using full of mysterious contents? Chap-sticks, lotions, band-aids, jewelry, receipts, notes, change, granola bars, maybe a pot of gold or two? Because who even knows? Modules are the key to avoiding losing possessions to your purses. But, what are modules?
"The concept of Modules comes from systems design; basically, it means dividing a complex system into smaller, task-specific components....For our purposes, a Module is a set of related items that perform a particular task (like paying the bills or decorating a cake). To create them, we'll need to gather things of similar functions together, eliminate the excess, and make sure they're easy to access and move around when needed. In short, we'll need to consolidate, cull, and contain our stuff." -- Francine Jay, "The Joy of Less"
The Module system applies obviously to many household items...
...Like keeping dvds together in one place, books together in one place, art supplies together in one place, socks with socks, dishes with dishes, coffee supplies with coffee supplies, etc. It's a simple and intuitive tool for keeping a home organized. But how does that apply to bags and purses??
Here's a not-so-secret about me; I am a chronic purse over-packer. I really took my brother's boy scout motto (Always Be Prepared) to heart. When I leave for the day, I am prepared for and number of scheduling, boredom, hunger, thirst, makeup, and first aid emergencies. If I get stranded somehow, that purse is filled with enough contents to keep me going for a day or two. My secret to purse over packing while remaining organized is utilizing the module system. If I had a camera that worked right now I'd share pictures, but here is basically how it works for me: simply, I keep like items contained with like, within my bag.
I have a:
- Medical Module: a small zipper pouch full of various band-aids, miniature Neosporin, Tylenol, floss, a tide pen, after bite, tissues, a spare lip balm, and an emergency feminine product or two.
- Makeup Module: a small zipper pouch that is filled daily with *only* the makeup I am wearing that day. Usually for me, it's just whichever lip color I've decided on, a spare lipbalm (look, I'm addicted), loose powder and a brush. If I'm going to be going out straight from work, I may include an eyeliner and/or small blush, just to touch up on the go. I trade out the contents every day, after putting on my makeup for the day. If I don't wear any makeup that day, the module is emptied into my makeup box (which is also full of modules) and left home for the day.
- Writing Module: a pencil case with sharpened regular pencils, a few colored pencils, a hot dog eraser, a few pens, and a highlighter.
- Day planner - self contained
- Usually a book, packed in the morning and unpacked at night.
- Cash system friendly wallet - has separate and defined areas that I use for cash, cards, coins, and receipts. Receipts and coins are removed either in the evening when I get home or the following morning when I'm packing for a brand new day! (I input my receipts into my budgeting spreadsheet & then toss most of them, and coins get put into my coin jar. They are rolled and deposited once the jar is full).
- Sometimes, a phone backup module: a charger and/or external batteries, and/or headphones, kept in a clear ziplock bag.
- Usually, a filled reusable water bottle or a spare La Croix, for thirstmergencies.
The Modules you need will be unique to you.
The point is to keep like items with like, in separate containers. Then you will always know where everything in your purse is, and it makes it VERY easy to change from purse to purse; just remove your modules from one purse, stick em in the other, and put your empty purse away where all of you bags are stored neatly together.
Going from a big bag to a small bag? No problem! Just transfer essential items from your standard modules to the clutch for the evening. If you're a big nerd like me, you can still keep like items together and separated through the use of clutches with multiple compartments, or small zip-lock snack bags.
The use of modules keeps everything organized and easy to access. It also keeps you from ever having bags that are not in use but are full of mystery items and trash!
Before you get to organizing techniques like the Module system, you must declutter/cull your possessions!
Everything's got to be done in order, just like baking a cake! If you want a helping hand with decluttering and organizing, send us a message on our contact page, or give us a call!

Encyclopedia of World Biography on Milton Eisenhower
Milton Eisenhower (1899-1985) gained national recognition for his careers in government and higher education. He was best known for his advisory role to his older brother, President Dwight D. Eisenhower. He also served presidents John F. Kennedy, Lyndon B. Johnson, and Richard M. Nixon as a special consultant.
Milton Stover Eisenhower, the last of six sons of David and Ida (Stover) Eisenhower, was born on September 15, 1899, in Abilene, Kansas, a farm-oriented town of about 5,000. His paternal grandfather, Jacob, a farmer and Mennonite minister, had brought his family to the midwest from Pennsylvania after the Civil War. He prospered, but son David, despite a wedding gift of a 160-acre farm plus $2,000 in cash, did not. So Milton Eisenhower grew up in relatively poor circumstances, but he was surrounded by the support of many relatives.
Another major influence on Milton was religion. The entire family took turns reading the Bible...

Google Ready to Drop Billions on Satellites for Worldwide Connectivity
Grow Your Business, Not Your Inbox
If you are Google, you have most of the online world dancing to the beat of your music. The world that is not wired to the Internet, though, can't even hear your music. To become more powerful, Google needs to bring more of the world online. And it's going to invest heavily -- very heavily -- to make that happen.
The Mountain View, Calif.-based tech company is going to invest at least $1 billion in its efforts to launch a first fleet of 180 small orbiting satellites to bring Internet connectivity to parts of the world that aren't currently wired, according to a report in today's Wall Street Journal. Spending on the project could soar as high as $3 billion, according to the report.
The endeavor is said to be led by Greg Wyler, who recently came to Google from O3b Networks, the satellite-communications startup he founded.

Google would not confirm the billion-dollar price tag, but did confirm its interest in bringing Internet to the portions of the globe that as of now are offline. "Internet connectivity significantly improves people's lives. Yet two thirds of the world have no access at all," said a Google spokesperson. "It's why we're so focused on new technologies—from Project Loon to Titan Aerospace—that have the potential to bring hundreds of millions more people online in the coming years."
Project Loon is Google's name for its work trying to get bring Internet access to people in rural and remote areas via balloons floating through the earth's stratosphere. The project, launched in June 2013 after a pilot in New Zealand, has specially designed balloons floating approximately 20 kilometers above the Earth's ground level transmitting Internet connectivity at speeds roughly equivalent to the 3G wireless network.

Meanwhile, last month Google acquired New Mexican-based Titan Aerospace, a company that uses atmospheric satellites -- high-altitude solar drone robots -- to both establish internet connections in remote areas or to help monitor environmental damage like oil spills and deforestation. Google's purchase of Titan Aerospace was a bit of a slap to Facebook's CEO Mark Zuckerberg, who had been in talks to buy the drone company.
As with Google, for the social media giant Facebook, too, growth depends on bringing more of the population online. Alongside half a dozen of the largest mobile device companies including Samsung and Nokia, Facebook is a partner in internet.org, a collaboration to bring Internet to the two thirds of the globe that isn't currently online.
