JPL and Will.i.am challenge young students to reach for the stars.The concert represented the world premiere of the appropriately named song "Reach for the Stars," by rapper and songwriter will.i.am. It was beamed via radio signal about 150 million miles (241 million km) back to Earth from Curiosity's landing spot on Mars' Gale Crater at 1 p.m. PDT (4 p.m. EDT).
"The point of the song is to remind people ? that anything is possible if you discipline yourself and dedicate yourself and stand for something," the musician said today from Curiosity's mission control center at NASA's?Jet Propulsion Laboratory?(JPL) in Pasadena, Calif.
The music arrived there during an educational event held for students from the Los Angeles neighborhood where will.i.am grew up.
"There's no words to explain how amazing this is," will.i.am. said. "These kids here are from Boyle Heights, the same neighborhood I'm from. We don't have to just end up in the 'hood. But it's a hard thing. The hardest thing is discipline."
Students and rocket scientists alike bobbed their heads and clapped as the song's strains came back to Earth.
"Why do they say the sky is the limit
When I've seen footprints on the moon
And I know the sky may be high
But baby it ain't really that high
And I know that Mars might be far
But baby it ain't really that far
Let's reach for the stars"
Also onhand at the event was former NASA astronaut Leland Melvin, now the agency's associate administrator for education.
"Never give up," Melvin said. "People told me that I couldn't be an astronaut. Whatever you want to be, whatever you dream, you can do, if you put your mind to it."
The $2.5 billion Curiosity landed on Mars Aug. 5 (PDT) after launching in November of last year. The song was loaded onto the rover before its departure from Earth, and will.i.am, part of the hip-hop group The Black-Eyed Peas, was at JPL in person to?watch Curiosity land.
The car-size rover is embarking on a two-year mission to search for signs that the Red Planet may have ever been?habitable to microbial life.

How to Sell Your Farm Produce Online
Selling produce of any kind has never been easier thanks to the internet. If you?re a producer, the internet is a great way to reach a huge potential market and make sales that would once have been impossible. This article looks at farm produce and how you can make use of the internet to boost sales.
Keywords: Businesses for sale, website development.
Starting an Online Venture
Selling online is relatively easy because you can offer your fresh produce to a far wider audience than traditional market places. However, creating a website is not enough. You?ll need to generate interest in your product and convince people that you?re the best place for them to buy their farm goods from. Looking for online businesses for sale is often wise because these businesses will have an existing customer base that can be immediately tapped into for sales. Creating a website from the ground up, however, is a complex process.
Creating a Website
If you decide not to buy a pre-existing business then you?ll need to create a website and effectivelyattract customers to it. Website development is a complex process and you?ll need to consider your target audience carefully. Pitching your message effectively to the right target audience will be integral to your success. When selling fresh farm produce, the angle of promotion will have to focus on the produce being fresh, good for the environment and healthy too.
Making Deliveries
One of the hardest things of an online venture that delivers fresh farm produce is delivering the food fresh. You?ll need to determine realistic delivery distances, how best to maintain freshness and how to maketimely deliveries to ensure the food is delivered fresh. Farm produce is in high demand but to maintain business your produce will need to be better than the competitors.
Promotion
Business promotion will be your most important tool to sell produce online. Business promotion and a clear strategywill need to be developed to attract the right customers. Search engine optimisation can be used to make your website appear first when people search for farm fresh food and other advertising promotions can help you gain exposure too. Business promotion will enable you to reach a far wider audience but customer retention is essential.
Record Keeping
Once you have your business running and sales are being made online, it?s not unusual to become overwhelmed by demand. It?s essential to keep on top of the workload. Keeping records and maintaining a clear understanding of profits and losses throughout the year is essential in running any business venture. Time management and organisation are crucial to the success of your business both online and physically.

India set for series sweep (Preview)
Bangalore, Aug 30
After a lapse of 17 years, New Zealand face India at the Mangalam Chinnaswamy Stadium here looking to score their only third cricket Test win on Indian soil, but following their capitulation to spin at Hyderabad and their track record here, another Indian victory looks a distinct possibility, weather permitting.
With India already 1-0 up in the two-Test series, the Black Caps can at best hope to square the rubber by winning the game starting Friday, but again, given the spell cast by the home spinners, notably offie Ravichandran Ashwin, fresh from his 12-wicket haul at Hyderabad, the Kiwis have their task cut out.
The rival captains Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Ross Taylor will be casting a sharp eye both at the pitch and the heavens as the city is under a wet spell with heavy rains in the afternoon and evening.
Curator Narayan Raju has promised a "sporting pitch" that will assist both seam and spin while an even bounce would encourage stroke play. So much in theory, but the last time the two teams met at this ground in 1995, the game lasted less than three days with India winning by eight wickets after leggie Anil Kumble claimed nine, including his 100th in Tests.
The long-held belief that the Kiwi batsmen are uncomfortable playing quality spin was underlined in the game at Hyderabad earlier this week when India won by an innings, and though Taylor has promised a fight back, it remains to be seen whether such brave words would be backed by deed.
Back in 1988, the John Wright-led Kiwis had Sir Richard Hadlee to look up to and the legendary seamer provided the only solace for his team by picking up his 33rd five-wicket haul that included his 374th Test victim, a record at that time.
Yet, the visitors succumbed to the spin of Arshad Ayub and Narendra Hirwani, both claiming eight wickets apiece, as Azharuddin chalked up his 11th Test win with half the Kiwi side down with mystery virus that led to two Kiwi TV commentators substituting as fielders. Hadlee took 10 wickets in Mumbai in the following Test that Kiwis won, their last Test triumph in India.
Thus, with history against them, New Zealand will have to look deep within to find a spark of inspiration to even match the Indians, much less beat them as Dhoni would have the foot on the throttle to sweep the series 2-0.
The scenario in the Indian camp is in sharp contrast. The win at Hyderabad coincided with India?s Under-19 World Cup triumph in Australia while Cheteshwar Pujara, occupying the key No.3 slot in the batting line-up and whose inclusion was once questioned, marking his presence with a century.
For all that, the focus would again be on Ashwin and his comrade in arms, left-arm spinner Pragyan Ojha, who are expected shoulder much of the bowling load like they did in Hyderabad. Both are fast maturing into quality spinners and they seem to perform better when bowling in tandem.
With the batting more or less settled, it is unlikely that Dhoni would tinker with the line-up and given his reluctance to disturb a winning combination, he would be inclined to go in with an unchanged playing eleven.
As for the Kiwis, there is not much that could be said of their batting or, for that matter, bowling, and the ease with which India rolled them over in the previous Test, only strengthened the pre-series belief that it would be Dhoni?s men all the way.
The Black Caps will require a divine intervention, which they might still get given the local weather, to avoid further humiliation.
The teams (from):
New Zealand: Ross Taylor (captain), Trent Bolt, Doug Bracewell, Daniel Flynn, James Franklin, Martin Guptill, Brendon McCullum, Chris Martin, Jeetan Patel, Tim Southee, Tarun Nethula, Kruger van Wyk, Neil Wagner, Bradley-John Watling and Kane Williamson.
India: Mahendra Singh Dhoni (captain), Virender Sehwag, Gautam Gambhir, Cheteshwar Pujara, Sachin Tendulkar, Virat Kohli, Suresh Raina, Ravichandran Ashwin, Pragyan Ojha, Zaheer Khan, Umesh Yadav, Piyush Chawla, Subramaniam Badrinath, Ishant Sharma and Ajinkya Rahane.
Umpires: Ian Gould and Steve Davis.

Aspirin use not tied to breast cancer risk
NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - How frequently older women use aspirin and other pain relievers has nothing to do with their chance of developing breast cancer, a large new study suggests.
Previous research has painted a cloudy picture, with some studies indicating that women who regularly take so-called nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, or NSAIDs, have a lower risk of breast cancer, but others finding a higher risk with such drugs.
It's still possible that specific groups of women will benefit from certain doses of aspirin, other NSAIDs or acetaminophen (marketed as Tylenol), said one researcher not involved in the new study.
But right now, there's no good evidence any of those painkillers protect women against breast cancer, according to epidemiologist Lynn Rosenberg from the Boston University School of Public Health.
"I don't think they should be taking aspirin to prevent breast cancer," she said.
"If women are looking to decrease their risk of breast cancer, there is, I think, some pretty convincing evidence that high levels of exercise will reduce risk (as will) diets that are high in fruits and vegetables."
NSAIDs, including naproxen (Aleve) and ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin), may block an enzyme that controls cell proliferation and death, therefore possibly affecting cancer risk. And acetaminophen could lower levels of estrogen, a hormone important to certain forms of breast cancer, researchers said.
Studies have found regular use of anti-inflammatories is tied to a lower risk of colon cancer, but it's been unclear whether that is true for other types of cancer as well (see Reuters Health story of April 8, 2011).
Researchers led by Dr. Xuehong Zhang from Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston used data from a long-term study of more than 100,000 nurses in the U.S., who filled out surveys every other year about their medication use, diet and lifestyle. The women also reported any new medical diagnoses.
Out of 84,600 participants who were past menopause and hadn't had cancer at the start of the study, about 4,700 were diagnosed with breast cancer between 1980 and 2008.
Researchers found that regularly taking aspirin and other NSAIDs - including daily use for more than 10 years - didn't affect women's risk of breast cancer, Zhang and his colleagues reported Monday in the Journal of Clinical Oncology.
Women in the study were typically taking aspirin for headaches, arthritis or other pain, or to protect against heart disease.
Survey participants currently taking acetaminophen were slightly less likely to be diagnosed with cancer than non-users - but there was no clear link between how long women had been taking the drugs, or at what dosage, and their cancer risk. Nor was past acetaminophen use, even for a decade or more, tied to fewer breast cancer cases.
"Our findings suggest that using these analgesics may not decrease women's risk of breast cancer," Zhang told Reuters Health.
"However, women should be reassured that there's no increase in risk with long-term NSAID use," he added.
One in eight American women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her life, according to the National Cancer Institute.
Rosenberg said she expects any future research on the link between painkillers and breast cancer to focus on whether there might be a benefit for specific groups of women or specific types of breast cancer.
Still, she told Reuters Health, "When you get into high doses of aspirin taken frequently, then you run into the problem of gastrointestinal bleeds - that's a huge, huge problem."
So it's unlikely, Rosenberg added, that any small painkiller-related benefits that might eventually be found for breast cancer would outweigh those risks.
Zhang agreed with her that for women looking to reduce their breast cancer risk, the best strategies are still maintaining an ideal body weight, exercising regularly and avoiding alcohol in excess.
