Great, just what the world needs -- a microwaved infusion of Girl Power. All the bouncing and jiggling and giggling that turned my nerves into banjo strings circa 1997 has the mold wiped off or airbrushed over and is back with a vengeace, apparently (must be vengeance. I can't imagine any other reason I'd have to suffer through this again). Spice Girls reuniting? This promises to be more crassly exploitative than ever!
And not to sound too Perez, but is that Posh? She looks a bit like an EA Games rendition of a comic book serializing the exploits of the charicature sketch of a cat burglar; maybe a bombshell (aren't they all?) diamond thief... maybe... Black Cat, Spiderman fans?. Interesting look -- a daring dash of over-the-top "Los Angeles" perhaps representative of the Beckhams new stomping grounds. Anyway, sorry for that burst of cattyness. I'm just a bit terrified of this prospect.
On a cooler note (somewhat literally), our Wind Science and Engineering Research Center and a coalition of partners have been selected by the Department of Energy to receive up to $2 million in test equipment to develop large-scale wind blade test facilities, accelerating the commercial availability of wind energy. The Lone Star Wind Alliance will design, build, and operate new facilities to test the next generation of wind turbine blade.
Also, this is just neat -- especially for a wannabe world traveler and humanitarian-in-theory who consipered joining the Peace Corps and didn't fit the criteria. Texas Tech is now offering a Master's International Program in which students can recieve graduate degrees while serving as Peace Corps Volunteers abroad. Apparently we have had 360 Texas Tech alumni serving as Peace Corps Volunteers. Sigh... I wish I were still a student.... for many reasons, but this is now one of them.

I think Posh needs to be called back to the Mother Ship...
