As some regular readers of these posts may remember, I have the privilege of serving as Vice-Chair of the Lick Observatory Council, a group formed to help save the observatory, when it was threatened by closure due to University of California budget constraints. That threat was lifted a few months ago by the University of California President's Office, but money to operate Lick at full capacity is still very much needed. So the Council, under the energetic leadership of Prof. Alex Filippenko of Berkeley, has been working to find new sponsors and supporters for the historic observatory.
Today, Lick announced a one million dollar gift from Google to give our efforts a running start. The gift is a direct result of contacts Alex Filippenko made at Google and his eloquent explanations of why Lick was still at the forefront of both research and education. To read more about the situation at Lick and the gift, see the full story at:http://newscenter.berkeley.edu/2015/02/10/google-gives-lick-observatory-1-million/
To see Alex Filippenko's passionate argument why Lick Observatory should not be allowed to wither, see his talk in the Silicon Valley Astronomy Lectures at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JEY2pzxda1w
For example, it's fair to say that the work at Lick contributed in a very significant way to the discovery of the acceleration of the expansion of the universe, which received the Nobel Prize in physics in 2011, and (just recently) the 2015 Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics.

Want to know how to get over a broken heart? A break up can feel like the end of the world, but if you really do want to move on, here’s a complete guide on how to deal with a broken heart.My name is Mimi Bieber, i live in Tx,USA. since 6 months I have witness what is called heart broke. my boyfriend that promised me marriage failed me and impregnate me and leave,he dump me,he stop calling" he stop picking my calls,and he no longer respond to me. I have be looking for solution,I fall into the hands of fake spell caster,they rough me off and took my money without help.I have cried,I have weep"and tears runs out of eyes.

I can't really help thinking about it I have tried to see what I can do, I manage to provide him some materials and he help me with the rest,after casting the spell, 12hrs later he came with rose on his hand and I was even about going out,i saw him in front of my door when he sees me he knee and said he is dying I should forgive him and accept him back he was crying,I can't wait to let him finish I quickly crab him and kiss him, just then" he said he is restless without me, just as the prophet has said he will be. He brought out a ring and put it on my hand. Our wedding day was scheduled,1week after we got married. today makes it 2weeks and we are living happily I don't know how to praise him enough, he has done me a thing I can never forget. And I can't really share to myself alone, I want y'all to help me praise him because if it is wasn't for him I already plan of committing suicide.
