...recent years. From the posh or quirky to the uber-green, the small-scale boutique festivals put the emphasis on the experience rather than lineup. And with cheap flights and tickets, Brits are heading to Europe in increasing numbers. It was estimated that half those attending Spain's beach-based Benicassim festival (dubbed Glasto del Sol) were British. And while a Glastonbury ticket costs $305, Serbia's Exit Festival is just $170 including nine days of camping. "A lot of fans are now thinking, I might as well go and have a weekend or week away...
...Eagerly watching progress are Australia's other geothermal companies. The most advanced, Petratherm, plans to drill its own well near South Australia's Flinders Ranges later this year and produce commercial amounts of power before Geodynamics does. Petratherm, with projects in Spain and interests in China, already has an agreement to supply 7.5 MW of power to the Beverley uranium mine, 11 km from its drilling site. The company won't go as deep as Geodynamics. Instead, it will try to push its water through 200°C sedimentary rock, just above the hot granites...

Both teams came from behind before Germany finally put the game away with a bold strike in the 90th minute. The team will now face either Russia or Spain in the final in Vienna...
...Russians, that other surprise package, pretty much know what's in store in their semifinal against Spain since the Iberians thumped them 4-1 in the opening group game. This is not the same naïve bunch that gambled so recklessly in that contest. Look for them to attack early and defend deep and take their chances against a very talented Spanish side. And be thankful that they won't play like Italy...
