Graffiti isn't always used to spruce up abandoned homes, freeway overpasses or trains. Sometimes it's used by gangs to mark their territory or communicate about illicit activities. So this new system that accurately catalogues graffiti, and who's behind it, gives police a useful tool for identifying and staying one step ahead of local gangs.
Their traditional methods involve identifying the graffiti based on keywords, like the name of the gang or the artist, but that can often make searches ineffective and tedious. So Anil Jain, a computer scientist at Michigan State University, has developed an algorithm that compares the actual photos of the graffiti, looking for similarities in the artwork and design. Since they're all drawn by hand, the artists usually have a distinct style they repeat, whether they realize it or not, and this lets Anil's system identify not only the gang, but often the person holding the spraypaint can as well.
To further improve the accuracy of the algorithm, the images are sometimes outsourced to Amazon's Mechanical Turk service where humans are used to decipher any text. And when combined with the image matching techniques, the system has correctly identified the culprit about 65 percent of the time. Not exactly perfect in a country where you're innocent until proven guilty, but the police seem more interested in using it as a tool to track gang activity, not necessarily for arresting individuals for vandalism.

During the economic reform period of the 80's, three friends bind together by a common ambition – to live the American dream.
The three leads Huang Xiao Ming, Deng Chao and Tong Dawei create a very believable camaraderie. It is possible to be happy for your friend doing well and envy him at the same time, and that is the central story between these three friends. Huang Xiao Ming brings his best performance thus far. He's not busy preening for the camera and posing a pretty boy as I have seen in his past works. It's partly the role itself as it asks Huang to start by playing a vulnerable teenage boy who eventually that ages into a man.
There's a trend of using very fast cuts in Mainland comedies right now. It originated with Ning Hao's 2006 heist comedy Crazy Stone – which drew its visual style from Guy Ritchie – and now it has officially embedded itself genetically as filmic grammar for Chinese comedic dialogue. There's a scene where two of the friends had a fight and complain about each other individually with the third friend over a ping pong game. The cutting is so fast between conversation A and conversation B that it's impossible for the audience to really feel what these characters are going through. These montages will happen every now and then to speed the story ahead. It's zany for sure, but at times I wish they would let the scenes breathe instead of zeroing in for laughs.
That said, it's smart on Peter Chan's part of picking up on this trend and using it here because American Dreams in China is a Mainland Chinese story made for the Mainland audience. The content may prove more difficult with English-speaking audiences whom aren't aware of the cultural context or why the 3 friends carry the values they do about America and the American Dream to laugh at it whole-heartedly.
Suffice to say, Chan balances the film well and it is impressive to see a Hong Kong director tune to a Mainland frequency. Best thing I can say about Peter Chan's direction is that he is worldly. He doesn't portray Americans as white devils, which makes things more interesting and engaging. American Dreams in China will connect with its audience, namely Chinese people who were born in the 80's, and those people will enjoy it. Everybody else I am not so sure but this is a nice gem of a film nonetheless.

Auto Finance Calculator For Manchester KS
Use the AllCreditCarLoans auto loan calculator to help determine how much you can afford to spend when financing or refinancing a car. You can run multiple scenarios varying the "number of months" and "down payment" values in order to get the monthly payments you are looking for.
We recommend that your total car expenses be no more than 20% of your after-tax pay.
What To Know Before You Apply For A Car Loan
Auto Loan Interest Rates
The interest rate you'll receive depends upon your credit history, your income, the length of the loan and the vehicle you choose.
Auto Loan Terms
While it is possible to find a lender who will finance a vehicle for up to 84 months, we don't recommend stretching out payments any longer than you need. It's best to pay off a car loan as quickly as you can since cars depreciate rapidly. The longer the loan term, the more probable that at some point you will end up owing more on the loan than the car is worth. Being underwater or upside-down on a loan is a risky financial situation. The best interest rates are available for shorter loan terms. We recommend keeping your loan term to 3 years for used cars and up to 5 years for new cars.
Auto Loan Credit Score
Credit scores give lenders an idea of how you manage your finances. These scores are essential in helping you plan your finances well. Likewise, credit scores can be testaments of how well you make decisions, as well as how healthy your spending habits are. Credit scores can help determine whether you pay your bills on-time, if you use your credit cards wisely, and how well you manage your loans.
The higher your credit score, the lower the interest rate you will likely be asked to pay.
Therefore, if you have multiple loans that are unpaid; if your credit cards have been maxed out and several of your bills remain unpaid, you earn a low credit score. While it does not define the kind of person that you are, your score can indicate an unhealthy financial habit, which can make you appear "too risky" and turn away lenders.
A lot of lenders do not offer auto finance loans to applicants who have a low credit score because they do not want to encounter problems when collecting payments. Some lenders accept borrowers with low scores, but they often charge higher interest rates for the loans they make. This is because they want to lessen the risks that your low credit score represents.
But AllCreditCarLoans is different. We work with leading car finance lenders and auto dealers to help you find the best auto loan terms for your credit situation. Fill out our quick and easy one-page application to let us get you financed today.
Soft vs. Hard Credit Pull
Your auto lender may do a "soft" credit pull in order to pre-qualify you for a car loan. A "soft" credit pull doesn't subtract from your credit score the same way a "hard" pull does, but it also doesn't guarantee you'll be approved for a loan or that you'll get the exact rate you've been quoted. A "hard" credit pull will be required before the loan terms are finalized.
If you are applying with multiple lenders in order to shop the best interest rates, it makes sense to complete all your loan applications within a short time-frame. The credit reporting agencies tend to count multiple hard inquiries made within a short period as only one inquiry.
It's a good idea to know your credit score before you apply for your loan. If you are unsure what your credit score is, you can always use this service to find your credit score.
If your credit score could use improvement, you can work with a credit repair vendor to improve your credit score.
Car Loan Restrictions
Some lenders only work within a specific network of auto dealerships. This could limit your choice of vehicles to a handful of auto makes, models and vehicle types.
Some lenders will only work with car dealers so you won't be able to use them to buy a car from a private seller.
Steps To Get An Auto Loan
Shopping for an auto has never been easier. Our streamlined process and vast network of lending partners make getting a car loan quick and easy.
1 - Budget For Your Auto Purchase
The first step in obtaining auto financing is to figure out how much you can afford to spend.
If you have a car to trade-in, you should determine its value so that you can factor that into your budget. A good resource for determining your auto's market value is Kelley Blue Book.
Next, you'll want to consider how much money you have to use for a down-payment. The more money you put down, the lower your monthly payment will be. If you need an auto loan with no down payment, don't worry. We can still help you.
Finally, use our vehicle finance calculator to estimate your monthly payment. You can vary the interest rate and loan term to see how that affects the potential monthly payment.
2 - Choose Whether You Want A New Or Used Vehicle
If you are looking to get the most value for your dollar, you will likely be better off financing a used car. For the best results, follow our used car recommendations.
If you've chosen to buy a new car, you will most likely be purchasing the vehicle from a car dealership. In order to get the best deal on new car financing, follow our new car recommendations.
3 - Apply For Your Loan
Click the button below and fill out our quick and easy application form to get started right away!
New Car Loans
New car loans are the most common type of auto financing. Beyond the traditional option of getting approved through a new car dealer, many consumers have found that they can save money and gain negotiating leverage by arranging their auto financing in advance.
Most new car dealerships are able to apply rebates and incentives to reduce the need for money down. If you have negative equity in a vehicle that you're trading in, you may have to provide money down to cover the negative equity so that it's not carried over into your new loan. While buying a new car with bad credit isn't so common, there are many manufacturers that offer lower-priced new cars with attractive financing incentives to make buying easier for people with lower credit scores.
Let us help you get preapproved for that new car loan and you will become a cash buyer. This saves you time at the dealership and gives you the power to negotiate your best deal on any car you choose. Apply for a new car loan in Manchester KS and see how much we can save you.
Used Car Loans
A used auto loan is our most commonly requested loan. By letting us help pre-arrange your funding source, you know that you'll have the power to negotiate the best deal. Apply for a used car loan and see what type of rate & term you can get from our participating lenders.
Buying a used car will typically provide the best value. That's because the prior owners have already absorbed the biggest portion of the vehicle's depreciation and you may have the option to buy directly from a private seller, thus saving dealer fees. We can help you with an auto loan to buy from a private seller.
If you choose to purchase a used vehicle, you can click here to view the inventory of used car dealerships near you in Manchester KS.
Shopping For The Best Auto Loan Rates In Manchester KS?
Whether you are looking for the best car loan interest rate for a new or used vehicle, or you want to refinance an auto loan, we can help.
With a lower interest rate, you'll save money and pay off your car loan faster. The single most important thing you can do to save money on an auto loan is to shop for the best auto loan rate before you set foot in a dealership. By knowing what kind of rate you qualify for before you try to buy a vehicle, you accomplish three things:
- You'll know what range of car payments you can qualify for
- You can focus your negotiations with the dealer on the vehicle price rather than on financing terms
- You won't end up getting a higher cost loan than you want
Use our car loan calculator to determine what range of payments you can expect. You can enter your balance, term, and interest rate to calculate what the payment will be. You can compare different scenarios to see how much more you can save by increasing your down payment.
Average Car Payment Interest Rates You Can Expect
|Credit Score Range
|Average APR for a New Car
|Average APR for a Used Car
|781 - 850
|661 - 780
|601 - 660
|501 - 600
|300 - 500
Why Getting Preapproved For A Vehicle Loan Is Important
Having a preapproved loan streamlines the buying process because you become a cash buyer and you can bypass the usual salesman's tactic of negotiating based on monthly payment. The problem with negotiating based on the monthly payment amount is that you can easily lose sight of the total cost and end up paying more.
As you negotiate your best deal, be sure to leave enough money to cover the sales tax and any additional fees. This way your total "out the door" cost does not exceed the maximum amount of your preapproved auto loan.
While you are at the dealership, the finance manager may try to beat the interest rate of your preapproved loan. Before accepting the dealer's loan, make sure that the interest rate is lower, all of the other terms are comparable, and the final total price is less. It's good to be cautious because there is always a risk that the finance manager could juggle the numbers in the dealership's favor and you could end up spending more money than you would with your preapproved car loan.
How Does Getting Preapproved For A Vehicle Loan Work?
Dealers usually offer vehicle financing through their preferred lenders, typically at a higher interest rate than available elsewhere. Getting preapproved directly with one of our lender partners helps you to negotiate the best interest rate before you even get to the car dealership so that you can save money in the long run.
When you start your auto buying process at a dealer, the salesmen will focus on the monthly payment, which makes it easy to forget about the actual price of the vehicle. But when you show up with a preapproved loan, negotiations can be based on the price instead.
How To Get Pre-Qualified For An Vehicle Loan
When you're applying with AllCreditCarLoans, the application process is simple and quick. You should have the following information on-hand:
- Proof of income
- Driver's license and Social Security number
- Employment verification
This information helps our lending partners to get a clear picture of your financial status, making it easier to secure the best auto loan rates for your credit situation.

Good Morning,
Equity futures are down in the premarket, but being a Monday, you should be ready for the attempted run just before and after the open!
Below is a daily chart showing the dollar on the left and the euro on the right. The last candle reflects the movement over the weekend, and as you can see, the dollar is much higher after bouncing off its upper channel trendline, while the euro is significantly lower having fallen back to the bottom of its down channel:
Bonds are higher, oil is close to even, and gold is higher after bouncing off support in the $1,170 area.
Existing Home Sales are released at 10 Eastern this morning. Later in the week we'll get both Consumer Confidence and Sentiment, a revision to Q1 GDP, and the usual assortment of weekly reports.
Things are getting a little tense on the Korean Peninsula with the North saying last week that should any sanctions whatsoever be imposed on them for sinking the South Korean ship that they would respond with all out war. Of course with Hillary and Obama's backing, the South Korean President imposed trade sanctions, and threatened the North with immediate retaliation should they enter any of their territory. The drum beat goes on, yet another distraction.
I think this is interesting because it was obvious that the ship had been torpedoed on day one. The reaction was very muted, meaning that no one wanted or was ready for war. Why the change of language now?
Friday's action in the market produced what appears to be an a,b,c type of correction. If so, wave c was not complete at the close and could possibly travel to the 1,100 area of the S&P if c is equal length to a. This counts pretty cleanly as a wave 4 movement of 3 down of 1 down, possibly of the large wave C down. If this is true, then once this wave 4 is complete (should be soon), then we should get a wave 5 of 1 that takes us to new lows before a larger wave 2 bounce occurs. This was the count I was working last week and it was working well, then I noticed this weekend that McHugh is also on this same count. That's just one possibility, however, as there are several ways to count the larger picture.
Speaking of the big picture, below is a 5 year chart of the SPX with everything turned off but the weekly candles:
If Elliott Wave guys like Prechter and McHugh are correct and this is a wave C down, then I'd just like to point out that should wave C equal the length of wave A, which is typical, then the SPX would be looking at losing 908 points from wave B's 1,220 top and that equals a target of only 312. Is that possible? Sure it's possible… but then again there are a lot of possibilities and much will depend on choices still to be made. It's a real risk, however, and should not be ignored. That risk is backed up by the fact that in my opinion our entire financial industry is insolvent should they mark their assets to market. Transferring risk onto our government only created another set of problems, it certainly didn't solve the existing problems.
So yes, it's fair from my perspective to say that the stock market in the United States, and much of the world, is actually WORTHLESS, or near worthless – as the debt and unrealized losses have not been cleared and far outstrip income's ability to service it. Thus the fundamental math of debt align with that technical picture from my point of view. There are other EW people who disagree and are in bull mode still. I don't think the fundamentals back their case, but if the decision is made to decouple from the debt and print, then that possibility could come to fruition. Printing all by itself, of course, would destroy the value of the money. A better and faster path to recovery would occur if nations performed equity for debt swaps, printing money and using that money to pay down debt. Without controls and a clear plan, however, that too will lead to other problems as the quantity of money must be kept under control in order to assure that confidence is not lost. Two words… Freedom's Vision.
I'd like to point out that on Friday the TNX (ten year Treasuries) matched the inverted peak of its smaller head & shoulders pattern. Any movement beyond the head invalidates the pattern and this is just another signal that deflationary forces are still in control for the time being. The 3.1% area reached Friday is support and thus a bounce here is not unexpected, however, if we get below that point, then a run down to the 2.5% area or even lower may be in store:
Going back to the short time frames in equities here, don't be surprised if this smaller wave 4 is almost over or is already done. Wave 2 lasted one day and now wave 4 has lasted about a day… to stay proportional, if wave 5 down of 3 is coming, it should start fairly soon. Just keep in mind that wave 5s can end suddenly… they can truncate or extend, and if the count is not what I think it is, then it may not occur at all. That's the danger in playing in this territory and why I prefer to play on wave 3s.
The bottom line for me is that the central bankers permeated the world with debt, pulling future incomes into the now. They were so successful that incomes can no longer support the debt. This has many people, local and state governments, and even entire nations forced to live on what now seems like a low budget…

A sequel to 2009's LEGO Batman has been known since the summer, around the time LEGO and DC Comics (and Marvel) were revealing their plans for more super heroes in the toy line. Now a LEGO fan site says the title will be something like "LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes" if that image is on the level.
That's Superman, Luthor and a tiny Joker (I think) in the background of the box shot, showing Batman in what appears to be the Michael Keaton-style all-black batsuit. Other reports have said Green Lantern and Wonder Woman will appeear in the game, due for release next year.

I have been thinking about Amy Coffin's two blog posts about conferences and I have read and reread all of the comments. The two links to her blog posts as well as the comments are here and here.
I certainly found some of the responses very interesting. I tried to write a short response. Obviously, if you are reading this, you realize that I wasn't able to keep it short. I sincerely thank Amy for her thought-provoking efforts.
As background information, I have attended NGS and FGS conferences as well as SCGS Jamborees and a variety of one-day seminars all related to genealogy. While working as a high school math teacher, I attended one HUGE national conference and numerous 2-day or one day seminars, some which had hands-on or discussion sessions. As a parent I attended a variety of one day seminars on gifted education which included discussion/participatory sessions and two different 4-day conferences on foreign-exchange students, with about half scheduled as discussion sessions on a variety of topics. I'm retired and older and have different experiences leading up to genealogy than do many of you. And, no, I don't think I'm necessarily right. In fact I really don't think there is a right or wrong to this topic and I believe that Amy would agree.
I attend conferences because I want information. (Fortunately, I have the time and money to do so, although family and spousal activities sometimes determine when and where I go.) But when I go to a conference, I feel that if I get one or two pieces of information from each session that help me with my research, in some way, then I've benefited. I've attended more than one session on organization; more than one session on the BCG standards; more than one session on the research process, etc. because I wanted different views, or because I was at a different level of understanding during each session. I've sat through some really poor hours (because I couldn't easily get out). But most of the sessions when I don't think I benefited as much had nothing to do with the speaker or the quality of the presentation or the information provided. It was because there were too many attendees in the room, squished together too tightly, with too many whispered conversations; all of which made it difficult to see, hear, and take notes. Purchasing the CD afterwards helped. But I much prefer the DVDs that are available for many sessions at the SCGS Jamboree, because I can see the screen slides as well as hear the speaker's voice. Now I have a collection of DVDS, CDs and flash drives with presentations as well as a subscription to webinars. And with webinars I usually prefer to purchase these rather than to listening live because of scheduling conflicts and interruptions. For a modest fee, I can now listen numerous times, when I feel I need some extra hints or ideas. But I'm doing this alone.
Regarding sessions that attendees can actively participate in, FGS national conferences have a society day, where many of the sessions encourage sharing. I attended 3 FGS conferences and each time went a day early for Society Day. Unfortunately, while I gained some information about how other societies operated, many of the suggestions weren't appropriate for the society I was actively involved with. Not that others didn't benefit; I'm sure they did. However, as with any situation of this type, I felt more control (a bad word?) needed to be used for the one or two people who thought this was their opportunity to make presentations rather than briefly sharing and allowing others to talk.
SCGS Jamboree has offered a conference within a conference format for the past few years that I know of. Last year and this year the topic was/is DNA. Before that it was writing. Both Jamboree and FGS Society Day are really not during the conference but the day before. SO I benefited from that and didn't have to make decisions about what conference sessions to miss.
SCGS Jamborees have provided opportunities on Friday mornings to have "round table" discussions on various topics. While a few of the tables have active conversations going on, many have just the moderator, and perhaps a friend, sitting there, waiting for someone to show up. I believe it was in Cincinnati that I participated in my first un-conferencing sessions. While I felt that there were some benefits, again sessions may or may not have anyone else interested in the topic. So, the conference is paying for space that may or may not be used.
Regarding classroom settings and institutes, first, I have only attended 2 institutes, and both of them were GRIP. I loved both years, so I'm registered again for my third year. Second, in all of my educational experiences in the classroom, I seldom enjoyed group work or projects; and this includes even some of the time in last year's class. And while some student, or guest speaker, presentations are excellent, others are not. And, yet, I'm sitting there, "glued" to my chair, waiting for the time to end. So, I guess I prefer "lectures" or "panel discussion" to most group projects. Or perhaps have each person work on a problem and then share their solution.
There are courses online that have chat rooms. I've only taken two, and both of them had very few participants who actually "chatted", especially live. But this duplicates what my daughter says about on-line credit courses in business and accounting, except that some of them have a deadline that you must post three times before midnight Saturday night. So at 11:30 pm, everyone wants to "talk" at the same time, in order to get the minimum requirement fulfilled.
In the responses to the original blog postings, many people like the networking. Well, for some of us this is difficult. We don't travel with a group of friends. I've never felt the need to go to a conference with a friend just so I had someone to talk with, eat with, or room with. In fact, if I had traveled to my first Jamboree with a friend, I probably never would have met Amy. Yes, I meet people at various times during the conferences, but they don't necessarily become fast friends to meet up with again and again. I don't have any trouble talking with those around me before a session, or sitting at a table with one or two empty chairs and talking with those already seated, or offering to share a table for lunch or dinner with another single or duo who are waiting in line at the same restaurant and have a conference badge hanging from their necks. But the idea of attending a conference, and paying the hotel, travel, conference fees, etc. to just visit isn't my idea of money well spent. So, how do we network? What does it mean? And why do I need to?
Do I have a solution or solutions? Obviously not. We need to think about the different personality types, whether or n? ot attendees want to socialize, share ideas, or just listen and absorb. Is bigger really better? Should our goal be to get more people attending or to provide those who do attend with a great experience that meets their needs? What should we change? And as with all changes, there will be some people who don't want any change, some who want just a little, and those who want to make everything different. Obviously we need a balance.
Good luck to all of you who are taking the time and making the effort to provide conference opportunities to all of us who sit on the sidelines and just attend. Thank You.

PNM Resources' (PNM) New Mexico utility, PNM, Friday filed an agreement with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission that would settle its generation rate case with Navopache Electric Cooperative submitted in September 2011.
The agreement requires approval from FERC and the Navopache Board of Directors. It does not impact retail rates for New Mexico residential or business customers. PNM has been the full requirements wholesale provider for Navopache since July 2000.
As permitted by FERC rules, in April 2012, PNM began billing at the higher rates associated with the filed case, subject to refund. Revenues recorded by PNM since April have been aligned with the agreed-to annual increase of $5.3 million. This is expected to result in a $0.03 improvement in 2012 ongoing diluted earnings per share compared with 2011, which is in line with the previously issued 2012 guidance range of $0.00 – $0.05 and $0.04 for a full year of 2013.
This "black box" settlement has an imputed rate base of $36.7 million and a 10 percent return on equity. The associated debt/equity ratio is 50-50. Under the settlement, the contract with Navopache is extended for ten years, and the rates are locked in until Jan. 1, 2015.
"We are pleased with the outcome and the opportunity to continue serving Navopache," said Pat Collawn, PNM Resources chairman, president and CEO. "The agreement also allows PNM to file an application for formula rates to be effective in 2015, which will enable us to keep revenues in line with costs in the future."
PNM Resources (PNM) is an energy holding company based in Albuquerque, N.M., with 2011 consolidated operating revenues of $1.3 billion, excluding First Choice Power. Through its regulated utilities, PNM and TNMP, PNM Resources has approximately 2,550 megawatts of generation capacity and serves electricity to more than 735,000 homes and businesses in New Mexico and Texas. For more information, visit the company's Web site at www.PNMResources.com.
Safe Harbor Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995
Statements made in this news release that relate to future events or PNM Resources' ("PNMR"), Public Service Company of New Mexico's ("PNM"), or Texas-New Mexico Power Company's ("TNMP") (collectively, the "Company") expectations, projections, estimates, intentions, goals, targets, and strategies are made pursuant to the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Readers are cautioned that all forward-looking statements are based upon current expectations and estimates. PNMR, PNM, and TNMP assume no obligation to update this information. Because actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements, PNMR, PNM, and TNMP caution readers not to place undue reliance on these statements. PNMR's, PNM's, and TNMP's business, financial condition, cash flow, and operating results are influenced by many factors, which are often beyond their control that can cause actual results to differ from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. For a discussion of risk factors and other important factors affecting forward-looking statements, please see the Company's Form 10-K and Form 10-Q filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which are specifically incorporated by reference herein.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company uses ongoing earnings and ongoing earnings per diluted share (or ongoing diluted earnings per share) to evaluate the operations of the Company and to establish goals for management and employees. While the Company believes these financial measures are appropriate and useful for investors, they are not measures presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (GAAP). The Company does not intend for these measures, or any piece of these measures, to represent any financial measure as defined by GAAP. Furthermore, the Company's calculations of these measures as presented may or may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. The Company uses ongoing earnings guidance to provide investors with management's expectations of ongoing financial performance over the period presented. While the Company believes ongoing earnings guidance is an appropriate measure, it is not a measure presented in accordance with GAAP. The Company does not intend for ongoing earnings guidance to represent an expectation of net earnings as defined by GAAP. Management is generally not able to estimate the impact of the reconciling items between ongoing earnings guidance and forecasted GAAP earnings, nor their probable impact on GAAP earnings; therefore, management is generally not able to provide a corresponding GAAP equivalent for earnings guidance.

Hydro Logo
The Hydro logo is our signature and our brand's most widely recognized element. It consists of two components in a fixed relationship to one another — the brand mark and the logotype.
The primary logo is the vertical lock-up version, with the brand mark above the logotype. This must be used whenever possible. The secondary, horizontal lock-up, should only to be used when the available space is limited.
Minimum Size
To ensure clean and legible lettering and art detail, the width of the primary Hydro logo must never be less than 10 mm. The secondary logo width must never be less than 17 mm.
There must always be sufficient space surrounding the Hydro logo to avoid competition with other elements and to maintain its visual impact.
The recommended open space is relative to the logo size, and is 1x the height of the brandmark. Try to allow at least this amount of clear space - it will help give the logo clarity.
Sometimes, the recommended amount of clear space will not be possible to achieve. In these situations, strive for a minimum open space of 0.5x the height of the brandmark.

The folks over at Signal Snowboards like to take time out every month and see what kind of crazy snowboard contraptions they can come up with. And this month they created the perfect snowboarding multi-tool for those who like to get away from it all.
The Survivor Split — as they dubbed their creation — not only separates into two individual skis for traversing flat snow-covered surfaces, it also has a third-section that can be used as a long-handled shovel for digging. To make the snowboard even more useful, a saw blade for cutting wood unfolds from one of the skis, while a strip of flint along one edge makes starting fires extra easy.
Since the board isn't exactly pocket-friendly I don't think Victorinox has anything to worry about. That is until Signal Snowboards decides to put a flash drive on there too. [Signal Snowboards via Gizmag]

Werth believes Nationals grew in final month of 2013
VIERA, Fla. -- Nationals outfielder Jayson Werth arrived in camp Wednesday and said he likes his team's chances of going to the postseason this year. Werth believes there are a lot of positives the Nationals can take from last year.
For example, the Nationals ended the season on a positive note by going 18-9 during final month of the season.
"We learned how to win at the end of the year, which I don't think the team really knew how to do at the [end of 2012]," Werth said. "We came off a year where we won 98 games, but we were not pressed. Last year, we got to the point where we were pressed and we responded really well. We played awesome the few weeks of the season."
When Werth arrived in 2011, the Nationals were still trying to put together a solid team. They were coming off a fifth-place finish in the NL East. Stephen Strasburg, Jordan Zimmermann and Ian Desmond were not established, and Gio Gonzalez and Doug Fister were not on the team. Three years later, the team is now considered a playoff contender.
"I would say this is to be the year that everybody kind of graduates," Werth said. "Everybody has some time underneath their belt. Everybody in here knows where they are at. As you go on in this game and you start to figure yourself out -- the whole dynamic of what's going on -- you can settle in and be yourself."

July-22-2009 HMFA to Host Daylong Seminar on Energy Efficiency Programs
HMFA to Host Daylong Seminar on Energy Efficiency Programs
TRENTON - The New Jersey Housing and Mortgage Finance Agency (HMFA) will introduce new financing programs for energy efficiency upgrades and renewable energy installations in multifamily housing on July 27 at the Trenton Marriott, 1 West Lafayette Street. Funding for the programs is being made available through the federal American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.
"Not only will these programs create jobs, they will help lower utility costs for the people who own and live in multifamily buildings across New Jersey," said Department of Community Affairs (DCA) Commissioner and HMFA Chairman Joseph Doria, who will speak at the seminar. "I encourage multifamily property developers, owners and managers to attend the event to learn how to take advantage of these energy-saving programs."
The seminar will include detailed information sessions about the HMFA's Multifamily Energy Efficiency Improvement, Solar Funding, and Weatherization Assistance programs. The three programs will help the state achieve Governor Corzine's goal of a 20 percent reduction in energy consumption and a 30 percent increase in renewable energy production by 2020.
"The HMFA is determined to assist multifamily properties around the state that are most in need of energy efficiency support," said HMFA Executive Director Marge Della Vecchia. "The HMFA understands it can be expensive to weatherize multifamily buildings or install solar panels, which is why we're offering these programs."
Applicants of the HMFA programs must participate in the New Jersey Pay for Performance Program, which is offered through the NJ Board of Public Utilities' (BPU) Office of Clean Energy. The Pay for Performance Program, which helps large building owners reduce their energy consumption, will be presented at the seminar, as will the DCA's Weatherization Assistance Program and PSE&G's multifamily subsidy and loan program. The event will also feature a Pay for Performance fair where attendees can speak with professionals about how to take a whole-building approach to saving energy and earn incentives linked to those savings.
"New Jersey has leveraged our federal economic recovery funding for energy projects with the state's existing clean energy programs to provide enhanced opportunities for program participants to save energy and save money," said BPU President Jeanne M.

READ about Piers Morgan's long career in journalism here.
On a day which saw Major League Baseball levy a series of suspensions against 13 players – including 14-time All-Star Alex Rodriguez – for violating the league's substance abuse policy, on Monday evening Christine Brennan returned to "Piers Morgan Live" with her trademark brand of insight and candor.
An award-winning sports columnist and best-selling author, Brennan held little back when describing Rodriguez's alleged use of performance enhancing drugs:
"A man who's lied continually, and now here he is, the ultimate disgrace for himself, really, in the long run, and for the game and for kids watching, that here he is, on the day that he receives the longest suspension of the baseball steroids era, A-Rod is now playing, starting a game in Chicago," said Brennan of the Yankees third-baseman, who begins his 211 game suspension Thursday. "I have no sympathy for him, he's one of the worst cheats, probably the worst cheat ever in baseball, in terms of the steroids era. He deserves this long suspension that he got today."
In his first at-bat of the season, having missed the Yankees previous 110 games while recovering from an injury, the 38-year-old registered a base hit. Unlike the other players suspended, Rodriguez refused to accept his punishment, instead opting to challenge the league's ruling. In the eyes of Brennan, Rodriguez's handling of Monday's penalty serves to simply reinforce his arrogance, and lack of self-awareness:
"This is purely ego, purely a man trying to make more money," she detailed. "He is such a terrible cheat. The volumes of evidence ... and for those who might saying Piers 'Oh, well, how do we know for sure,' he was trying as of yesterday to broker a deal. If he didn't cheat, why would he be trying to broker a deal?"

One thing is the fact one of the most frequent incentives for using your card is a cash-back or maybe rebate present. Generally, you'll have access to 1-5% back for various acquisitions. Depending on the credit card, you may get 1% back on most buying, and 5% back again on expenses made using convenience stores, filling stations, grocery stores along with 'member merchants'.
I totally agree with Christine.........

Mike's Burger House: Phnom Penh's In-N-Out-inspired fast food joint
After one too many helpings of the local street food, even the most seasoned traveler sometimes craves a taste of something familiar.
For Westerners, when that moment strikes in Phnom Penh, Mike's Burger House is the joint to hit.
It's a modest establishment, attached to a gas station -- a prime location to lure the motorbike-riding lunch crowd.
Products from the United States line the walls: Vanilla Coke, Cheerios, even Pepto-Bismol.
More on CNN: CNNGo in Cambodia
A year after the 1979 fall of the Khmer Rouge, a brutal regime that killed an estimated two million people during its reign in Cambodia, Chenda Im decided to leave.
"The country has nothing left," he told himself.
On September 4, 1980, he touched down at Los Angeles International Airport with several family members.
"Oh my God, we're in heaven," he says he thought upon arriving in his new home.
For more than 20 years, Chenda Im built his version of the American dream.
He got a job at a post office, bought a house and eventually started a business.
But after a failed first marriage, he realized he was missing a piece of the puzzle to make his life whole -- a family.
More than 30 years after leaving Cambodia, Chenda Im is now back and running a restaurant, this one inspired by his new wife, Borey, who missed the taste of L.A.'s famed In-N-Out burgers.
Chenda Im decided the only way to satisfy her cravings would be to open a restaurant where she could enjoy burgers every day.
In 2009, Mike's Burger House was born.

"We were ready to die"
Chenda Im sees food as a way to connect with people, sharing something that at one time was denied to him and his country.
The Khmer Rouge forced the people of Cambodia out of cities and into the countryside to work.
At the age of 14, Chenda Im says he worked all kinds of jobs -- building dams, harvesting rice and working construction, all in pitiful living conditions.
He slept on floors, battled severe illness and came so close to starvation that his body looked like a chair.
Chenda Im lived in this way for four years, aware that others -- including his brothers and sister -- were being taken away and killed. He lost hope that anyone would ever help his country. (See below video of Chenda.)
"We were ready to die," he says.
Today he says he has no regrets about coming back: "The country has moved forward like everybody else."
It's that attitude that he says keeps everyone smiling.
"That's a natural Cambodian. We're born that way."

Player health at forefront, LA could overtake NL West
Key Dodgers on DL in first half include Kemp, Greinke, Ramirez, Crawford, Billingsley
LOS ANGELES -- In April, the experts thought the Dodgers and their $225 million payroll would run away with the National League West. They didn't.
In May, the experts projected that the last-place Dodgers would fire manager Don Mattingly. They wouldn't.
Yasiel Puig's arrival had the experts predicting that the Dodgers had to trade Andre Ethier. They won't.
Coming out of the All-Star break, the resurrected Dodgers occupy second place in the NL West, 2 1/2 games behind the D-backs. Maybe that's not worth bragging about, but it's something, after the club utilized the disabled list a staggering 22 times in the first half. Among the wounded: starting pitchers Zack Greinke, Chad Billingsley, Josh Beckett, Chris Capuano and Ted Lilly and run producers Hanley Ramirez, Matt Kemp and Carl Crawford.
Mattingly didn't lose his head when those around him did. And he didn't lose his job. Ownership hung in there with the skipper, even though he hadn't won anything yet.
"I think you trust your talent," said Mattingly of his roster. "I haven't changed anything or tried to do anything differently. The guys have just gotten it together. We're getting healthy. Usually, water finds its mark. Talent is going to rise. It's going to come out. You've just got to trust it and not give in and keep working. We know that we can reel off a lot of wins."
It didn't hurt that the rest of the division reeled off a spate of losses, coming back to meet the Dodgers.
First-half awards
|MVP: Adrian Gonzalez He exemplifies consistency on an inconsistent team.
|Cy Young: Clayton Kershaw He is the best Dodgers starter since Orel Hershiser.
|Rookie: Hyun-Jin Ryu With apologies to Puig, April and May do count.
|Top reliever: Kenley Jansen Paco Rodriguez and J.P. Howell tie for second.
The Dodgers' first-half mainstays were All-Star Clayton Kershaw on the mound and the consistent Adrian Gonzalez in the middle of the batting order. A.J. Ellis was superb behind the plate and Juan Uribe reclaimed the third-base job in an unexpected comeback.
They've already added Ricky Nolasco to a starting rotation that lost Billingsley and Beckett to surgery. They're not done acquiring, whether it's another starting pitcher like Matt Garza, or more likely, bullpen help, especially if Carlos Marmol can't get it together.
They once trailed by as many as 9 1/2 games, and no Dodgers team has ever been that far behind and finished first. They were 12 games below .500, then went on a 17-5 run to be 47-47 at the break.
But as Mattingly reminded the team in a Sunday meeting, a year ago, they were in first place at the break, then lost four of the first five games afterward and spent most of the second half chasing the Giants. Despite all the ground the team picked up in the past few weeks with improved offense, it also scored only two runs in the last three games.
"We're not there yet. It's going to be a short second half. We've got to be ready to play," said Mattingly. "We've kind of gotten our confidence now and we're playing well. We've got some momentum. So the biggest thing now is not come out of the break like we're still on it. It's a fear for all managers that you come out of that break, and it takes you five days to get going, and next thing you know, you've lost three or four games if it goes wrong."
Players to watch in second half
|Matt Kemp Once an ironman, will he ever be healthy?
|Brandon League Can he turn it around as he did last year?
|Jose Dominguez The righty is overheating the radar gun.
Statistically, the turnaround started on June 22. But folklore will fixate on June 3, the day that Puig was promoted from Double-A. Coincidence or not, Puig's reckless aggressiveness rubbed off on an underachieving team of veterans.
That's the urban legend, at least. Equally important was the return of Ramirez circa 2009, whose batting-champ form took the pressure off a revitalized Ethier and minimized the continued absence of Kemp.
Kemp, once an ironman, can't seem to stay healthy. Crawford is having the same problem. Ethier has lost his power, but at least he stays in the lineup. Too much responsibility is falling on the inexperienced shoulders of Puig, whose strikeouts started to soar after being the second Dodgers outfielder in the last year to slam into the wall at Coors Field and wind up with a worse injury than originally thought.
Until June 22, the Dodgers struggled both on the road and against division rivals. They turned around in the sprint to the All-Star break and won't play another game within the division until Aug. 30, finishing the season with 26 of the final 29 games against the NL West and 37 of 68 on the road.
"It really is a short second half, and it doesn't start in an easy manner," said Mattingly. "We go through the Nationals, a club that needs to get on a roll themselves. Then we go to Toronto, a team we know is full of talent. So it's not an easy start for us in the second half."
"I remember a year ago, [two weeks] after the All-Star break, we had a big series in San Francisco and swept them, and we left San Francisco tied in the NL West. And we came home, and the D-backs swept us right back in our park," said Ellis. "It's up to us to respond."

Engineers designing NASA's next moon rocket denied Wednesday that the human space flight program dubbed "Constellation" is too expensive, too risky and would unnecessarily delay man's return to space.
The engineers defended their work to a committee appointed by President Barack Obama to review what's planned once the current shuttle program is retired.
The head of the office that has spent four years designing the next U.S. rocket, called Ares, told members of NASA's Human Space Flight Plans Committee that the current design was the safest, fastest way to get Americans back to space.
"We have done what we said we would do, and we are well on the way to our first test flight," said Steve Cook, head of the Ares project office at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville.
Speaking during a public hearing, Cook dismissed suggestions by some that the space agency was on a flawed path with Ares.
"We are not drinking our own bath water," he said. "There have been several outside reviews since we began."
Other managers told the panel they were working through technical challenges with Ares, including a slim possibility that powerful energy waves created during a launch could injure astronauts or make it impossible for them to perform basic tasks, like looking at monitors.
The chairman of the review committee, longtime aerospace executive Norman Augustine, said members would offer broad options to Obama. Those could range from continuing to fly the space shuttle to moving forward with Constellation without any changes, he said.
"We will not be in the tweaking business," Augustine said during a news conference.
Under a $35 billion plan put in place under former President George W. Bush, NASA is working to retire the shuttle fleet by the end of 2010 and return to human flight no sooner than 2015 aboard Ares.
Obama appointed the Augustine committee in May to seek information from NASA, outside scientists, the aerospace industry and Congress on the best way to send astronauts into space. It will submit a final report on Aug. 31, Augustine said.
Engineers are still working on the Constellation program during the review, and NASA plans to launch a test version of the human-carrying Ares I rocket by Oct. 31.
Work isn't as far along on a larger rocket called Ares V, which would lift heavy equipment into orbit for a moon mission and an eventual trip to Mars.
Former NASA Administrator Michael Griffin met with the panel privately before the public hearing. In a letter to members, Griffin said the Constellation program was being subjected to "broad but shallow criticism" when NASA needs continuity in its planning.
"Do not allow the parochial voices of the small-minded, the self-interested, and the uninformed to prevail," wrote Griffin, who now teaches at the University of Alabama in Huntsville. "Choose the future."
Arguing that Augustine's committee wouldn't even exist without budget concerns, Griffin said U.S. spaceflight shouldn't be done "on the cheap."

One of her joys while caching is to photograph our outdoor adventures. Sometimes it is to document an event we attended and others to take good photos for my blogs. Over time I have noticed that photography has really become a hobby for her and she has asked for a camera of her own when Christmas comes around. Personally, I couldn't think of a better way of encouraging her new love for the lens.
With that being said, I sat down and considered what would the best camera be for her. There were several key factors I would like to share so let's start with the basics.
Budget - My budget is the first consideration. I would love to say that I could drop $500 into a child's hands and say "here go for it", ummm, not happening. I would say something closer to $100 for a good camera would be more my speed and if I can get it on sale, all the better. Let's face it with the economy the way it is I can use all the help I can get.
Next, Usability – No gizmo of any kind is worth the amount of wasted time it takes for the user to figure out how use it. In other words if you are getting frustrated just trying to turn the dang thing on you may have purchased something that will most likely be going back to the store or collecting dust in a corner somewhere. It's for a twelve year old girl that wouldn't know an F-Stop if it came up and said "hi". So Point and Shoot is the way to go which means everything is as automatic as possible. Now the worse she is going to have to worry about is getting the camera strap caught in the shot.
Finally, Durability – When you Geocache you are outside. As in outdoors where there are ponds, lakes, streams, mud and rain. My daughter tries her best to not bang around the equipment but I have caught her many times unknowingly swinging the camera by the strap. Electronics and sudden jolts do not go well together and come to think of it, neither does moisture. So whatever I decide on has to be resistant to wetness and some attempt at surviving a drop or six.
As for the rest of the considerations like extra features of the camera itself; they are pretty much secondary. With a lower end camera the best you are going to get is a modest megapixel strength which is the overall clarity of the picture itself, a fair flash and a standard battery. Drop in a 2 gig memory card and the battery is going to run out before you run out of memory. The average would be about 160 photos which should be more than enough for a day's worth of geocaching.
I can also see a big benefit for getting a digital camera is there is no film. So Geoness can make all the not-so-good shots she wants. It doesn't cost anything like the old 35mm days when you bought 24 exposures per roll and you get what you get. Now all you do is hook up the USB cable to the computer, download them and you're done. It's that easy.
So even though I have not figured out exactly which camera I am going to get, I think this will be the best game plan to my final conclusion. After considering my budget, camera usability, durability and I am sure the color will have something to do with it. It should be a pretty quick decision and she will be out in the woods taking photos for our next computer background or blog article in no time.
