I'm curious if there are any scientific studies on typography I can read for references? I'm doing paper on typography and would like more than just quotes and examples showing why something just works. Having some scientific facts would be helpful as well rather than just what we all have learned and can instinctively all agree works best for legibility and readability.
Scientific Typographic Studies, Research?
Primary tabs
See the links in this article, particularly the one titled "50 empirical studies for his master's thesis":
There have been no exceptional studies concerning readability.
Having some scientific facts would be helpful as well rather than just what we all have learned and can instinctively all agree works best for legibility and readability?
The problem here is what gets included the terms "readability" and "legibility." Most scientific studies make assumptions using simplified meanings of those terms that most typographers -- or even lay people -- would not accept. (Spend a year reading W.V.O. Quine, or take my word for it. Best would be read Quine...)
You could, for example, do a study showing standard deviation in (1) comprehension and (2) speed, for reading a document set in two particular typefaces -- though even that is tricky -- but the sample size would be tremendous to draw any generally useful data. To make such a study based on a *supposed* single variable (say, serif versus sans serif) would be so full of flaws no one should accept it, even if the number of people taking the test approached the number needed to get useful standard deviation numbers. The answer would be valid only for the two typefaces selected for the test.
* * *
While not exactly a scientific issue, you can see a parallel with, say, the (1) philosophy of aesthetics and (2) art. Even were it possible to come up with a set of principles to define "what art is," (which would satisfy #1) that's not to say you have a decision procedure -- it will not answer the question "is this a work of art" (i.e., #2).
To put the matter another way, a useful scientific theory is capable of prediction. It may well do so outside it's data set (in fact, it must to be predictive). The data is the constraint -- it doesn't matter how well something predicts, if any empirical data conflicts, the theory is wrong (of course, that leads many to start "explaining" exceptions). Actually, the second constraint is it's predictive power. If you really have an answer, the model should predict how to construct a typeface that is either easier to read, or easier to comprehend (I'm not going to assume the two are the same).
What about social science and the humanities? Any interesting academic works on typography in art theory, sociology, semiotics, gender studies, rhetoric/communication studies, post-structural theory?
(Google turns up stuff like this rhetorics study, this semiotics study and this http://this book of philosophy/posststructural theory. No idea about the quality.)
The problem with most studies on legibility is that they only tell something about typography and nothing about legibility, let alone typeface design. In many of the scientific studies I read, the influence of typography (poor relationship of type size, line length and line feed, typefaces tested at the same body size but with x-heights that differ considerably, badly printed or photo-copied samples, low-res screens, glossy paper etc.) was much bigger that the differences between the typefaces tested. Many other strange assumptions of scientists about typeface design contribute to results that are not valuable to typeface design, such as 'we tested Courier in order to be able to say something about the influence of serifs on legibility' or 'we tested Arial because it is a standard'.
Some of the studies of which I think they have been done 'good' are those done by Dirk Wendt, Chuck Bigelow, Ann Bessemans, Nadine Chahine, Sofie Beier and Kevin Larson. But one has to take into account that in some cases it is hard to 'implement' the results into typeface design.
'While You're Reading' by Gerard Unger is a good read, it refers to many of the problems as they occur when scientists do research on legibility while having poor knowledge in the field of typeface design and/or typography. 'Reading Letters' by Sofie Beier is another good one, she tries to link scientific results to typeface design issues.
Scientific reading research to better understand the physiological process—great.
But science cannot even provide a disprovable theory that sans can be read more quickly than serif (or vice versa).
Science cannot tell you which layout, setting and typeface would be best for a particular job, that is up to the typographer.
Since isn't answers, it is guides. Don't ignore them.
For example science has guided me to believe that serifs help immersive reading.
"But science cannot even provide a disprovable theory that sans can be read more quickly than serif (or vice versa)."
Can't it, or hasn't it? It seems this one would be easy enough to test.
Can't it, or hasn't it? It seems this one would be easy enough to test.
You think some of the creative sorts found here can't come up with a sans (or a serif) that's hard to read? Hell, even I can do that. If you grant that, then you'll have to grant it isn't simply a matter of sans versus serif.
You think some of the creative sorts found here can't come up with a sans (or a serif) that's hard to read?
How is that going to help? I was thinking to have professional type designers select 5 sans typefaces they think are perfect for readability, 5 popular ones which are supposed to perform well and 5 popular ones with questionable readability and do the same for serif and have large control groups read a random page (not the same text) in each typeface and time the speed at which they're able to read the page. If the results of such a test would be all over the place then the conclusion would probably be that the design of the typeface is of secondary importance to the typographic setting. I strongly suspect however that not only will we see different results for each of the 3 groups per sans and serif, but we will see different results between sans and serif as well. With such a test I suspect we will have a great indication of what will work best. Whether a disprovable theory can be proposed on why one performs better than the other, I don't know. However at least we will be able to say statistically one will perform better than the other. That seems a lot more useful than our personal speculations and anecdotal evidence which is often circumstantial.
I don't have the resources to perform a test like this. Do you?
The biggest problem with readability testing, which to me is what has invalidated virtually all the results we've seen, is that the testing conditions preclude true immersion. It's like when you ask somebody to breathe normally – it can never work.
It's like when you ask somebody to breathe normally – it can never work.
No, but you can provide a context in which the person would breathe normally naturally. You can perform these kind of tests without explaining what you're actually doing. Use control groups and protect the test. Tell the testers you're studying reading speed and tell them they will be tested for accuracy later so the quality of their reading doesn't decrease as they desperately try to perform better.
Yes, it's not impossible, but difficult, and not yet attempted AFAIK.
If you are seriously interested in this topic, you should start by buying and reading Sofie Beier's book on the subject.
Looks interesting. I put it on my wishlist.
I think one big factor is that graphic designers have an interest in not accepting science and poking holes in it, as it means that the average citizen can do his own research and act on it and opens the designer up to being proven wrong (among other reasons). Throughout history, you see the same appeals to something being an art that science can't hope to understand from medicine to architecture, but then researchers find the answers. Hell, even jewelers, a purely aesthetic trade, have been overrun by engineers who have discovered ways to maximize the brightness of a stone. Recently, therapists (who, unlike actual psychiatrists, are barely screened before putting up a shingle) have been fighting monumentally against the idea that they should be basing their practice off of contemporary psychological research rather than a pop culture idea of what Freud said. For a good example of idiotic pushback in this very thread, look no further than the claim that you can't get somebody to read something without priming him when that's a problem that researchers solve constantly by putting the actual research in the prepwork. You don't even need to set up false research as a cover in this case, as you could just print out your consent form in whatever typeface you want and then test their comprehension of the consent form.
It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends upon his not understanding it.
While there is some crossover between art and graphic design, in general they are very different occupations with many differences, including their basic goals (for art its self-expression, for graphic design it's communicating a message on behalf of a client).
And I've known many designers who were interested in design research, including some who conducted research and had it published.
I agree that a client might occasionally mention some design research to reject your concept. I've seen it happen.
If you have a good concept and a reasonable client, you might be able to change their mind. But if the client is unreasonable, you finish the job, cash the check, and never work for them again.
Scientists are not without self-interest, as they attempt to expand their hardness into soft domains. That, after all, is the purpose of science. Marketers have been trying to reduce advertising to a science since the days of Starch, but the target is always moving and the old adage remains true: you can't test creative.
But a designer who avoids science is merely an artist.
Nick I was thinking more of information design rather than the world of advertising agencies.
Legibility is much easier to measure than readability, but I thought one successful test of readability, by measuring how often someone blinks while reading, was reported in Typographical Printing-Surfaces by Legros and Grant.
But a designer who avoids science is merely an artist.
Although I think I know what you mean, I find this statement to be very wrong. I wouldn't want to imply that some artists are just incompetent designers (which is what a designer without science could be perceived to be), or that incompetent designers are artists. I also wouldn't want to imply that a designer who doesn't avoid science is more than "merely an artist". And lastly, "merely an artist" seems to imply artists don't follow science. I have to admit a lot more liberties are taken in art than in design, but good art should still follow the same or similar guidelines as in graphic design.
If this helps:
There are no pure artists or designers; an individual is always somewhere in between.
I have a friend who does oil painting in his spare time. He pays for it himself, choses the subjects, paints them to his own satisfaction, and doesn't care what anyone else thinks. I don't see how it could be a purer process.
He says he doesn't care. But he's human.
That said, this case could be extremely close to pure art. Which is very rare.
There are no pure artists or designers; an individual is always somewhere in between.
I think that's a different consideration, but you're right nevertheless.
I don't see how it could be a purer process.
That may be, but even if his whole process is intuitive and subconscious, he will still consider composition, style, contrast, color (contrast) etc. Even in its purest form, an artist will follow many of the same underlying principles of (graphic) design. To some extent art is design and design is art.
> an artist will follow many of the same underlying principles
I agree. Both artists and designers, in general, use similar principles based on how people react to different colors, styles, etc.
To me the main difference is their goals. For artists it's generally self-expression. For designers it's to communicate info on behalf of a client.
For artists it's generally self-expression. For designers it's to communicate info on behalf of a client.
Very true. An artist can take a lot of liberties; as long as it looks good or even when it speaks to you in a different way than aesthetically, it's art. When graphic design fails to communicate, it's just bad design. It's very hard to even see such a failed attempt at graphic design as art because the primary goals of art and design are very different.
In addition to artists, there are craftsmen who are not engineers or scientists.

Aboard U.S. Navy Ships
October 17, 2011 by staff
Aboard U.S. Navy Ships, Seaman 1st Class Russ Badgley was swimming with the sharks after their ship was sunk by a Japanese kamikaze pilot Okinawa in 1945.
Badgley sailor survived. Some of his companions, including a good friend did not. Badgley, now 90, still hesitates when he recalls a fellow who had designed a special bracelet he wore on his wrist.
"As we swam, saw a body floating near me, upside down with open arms. I knew him immediately to see the bracelet," said Badgley. "The shark had killed him."
Badgley was a merchant on board LCS 15, a landing craft, flat-bottomed with fuel and ammunition.
"Sometimes we call our landing craft Craft suicide," he said.
Badgley said the 15 LSC carried a crew of 66 enlisted men and officers of six years. His job was to raise a beach and unloading of supplies. That's what made the April 1, 1945, the day U.S. forces invaded Okinawa.
Badgley said the initial landing and unloading was not a problem. The real problem began when his ship took picket duty at sea with a destroyer.
On 22 April, Badgley said a Japanese fighter evaded a ring of protection of the Navy Corsair fighters and went after the destroyer. Badgley was helping a 40-mm double man of arms when the enemy rushed down.
"It was after the destroyer, but both in shot hit him, and changed course to fall on us."
When the plane crashed into the suicide 15 LCS, the explosion burned his left hand. In total, 14 partners to die as the LCS was reduced.
"I jumped and swam like crazy," said Badgley. "Then I looked back and saw my boat that was on the bow."
It was then when he saw his dead crewmate floating nearby.
"We were in the water for 45 minutes to an hour before we were picked up," he recalled. "A couple of Navy Corsairs were flying circles overhead. One of my neighbors, Victor Smith, was a Corsair pilot and claims that he was one of the men flying circles overhead."
One of the sad stories refers to the provision of room three men from the ship radio.
"The story is that the hatch was blocked, so that two men came out for a slimmer porthole, but the third man could not pass and sank with the ship," said Badgley.
The survivors were transferred to the USS Intrepid, and taken back to the U.S. for the same boat. At this point in the Pacific war had ended with the surrender of Japan.
After being treated for burns, the sailor Badgley was sent to Great Lakes Training Naval Center, where he was discharged from the Navy. Almost 30 years later received a Navy Combat Action Ribbon in the mail. He said that his film did not exist at the time, but was created in late 1970 and sent to men like him, who had served in World War II.
Born in Cleveland, grew up in Galion Badgley and graduated in 1939 from Galion High School.
He worked as a draftsman in the North Electric Co. in Galion and later as a supervisor for the electrical design. He would spend 43 years with that company.
Badgley said the project was postponed because he worked on government projects.
"I got tired of that and decided to stay with the Navy," he said.
Joined in the spring of 1944 and joined the newly launched LCS 15 in Boston for the long journey to the Pacific through the Panama Canal. One of the stops on the way to Okinawa was at the naval station at Ulithi in the Caroline Islands.
"I've never seen so many boats in my life when we got there," he said.
At one point, a nervous gunner in a nearby boat opened fire on an American "Kingfisher", aircraft and other ships opened fire, too. Badgley said all missed calls.
Once he was home, he returned to North Badgley Electric. After a divorce, he met his wife, Mary. They have been married 62 years.
His son, Douglas, was killed in a car accident when I was 20.
His daughter, Beth Carpenter, lives in Galion. The Badgleys has two grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.
After living several years in Kingsport, Tennessee, the couple decided to return to Galion and bought a house that was being auctioned. That was 23 years ago.
Badgley said he is a Mason, a life member of the American Legion Post 14 in Galion and the First Lutheran Church. The Badgleys used to go to meetings of the Navy, but the last time was four years ago.
"They were two men, my husband and an officer," said Mrs. Badgley.

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
The state of Prussia was a great influence on the shape of modern Germany. After the Second World War, Prussia's land was divided among the Soviet Union, Poland, East Germany and West Germany and the state was abolished. Some Prussians remained in those countries after the war, while many others migrated to North America in search of a new start. Philadelphia was their primary point of entry to the United States, after which many of them moved on to Ohio, Texas, Illinois, California, New York, and Maryland. A large number of Prussians also migrated to Ontario and the prairie provinces as United Empire Loyalists. Analysis of immigration records has shown some of the first Falckes to arrive in North America, and among them were:

Matlock Town 3, Frickley Athletic 1
"Can we play you every week" was the shout from a happy and relieved Matlock camp as they responded to three successive defeats with a hard-fought victory and a league double over Frickley at the Reynolds Stadium on Tuesday night.
The Gladiators only other league win in their opening five games had come at the Tech 5 Stadium a fortnight ago, and with Frickley below them with just a point to show for their endeavours, this was a massive win for the hosts.
But it was Frickley who were the more dangerous in a tension filled first period. The Yorkshiremen failed to make their pressure count as Matlock defended with purpose and organisation, skipper James Lukic and Adam Yates proved to be an immovable barrier.
The bonus came when Lewis McMahon shot them in front two minutes from the half time whistle which gave them confidence to look more threatening in the second half.
Joe Leesley, who replaced experienced Lee Ellington in the starting 11, rammed in a second on 65 and although Glyn Cotton halved the deficit two minutes later, Matlock secured three priceless points with McMahon's second goal 12 minutes from the end.
Out of the blue came a wonder goal from McMahon, who curled in a peach of a shot from 25 yards out on the left after Richards' run was blocked and the ball ran loose.
Leesley brought the crowd to their feet in the 65th minute with a smart turn and a stunning low left foot strike which sped past a well beaten Woodhead.
Cotton smacked in a corker from 22 yards past Kennedy's left hand and into the top corner to give Frickley hope and set home nerves jangling but McMahon snuffed out the chance of a Frickley comeback. Woodhead failed to hold a Leesley shot and the Town number ten gratefully snapped up the gift he was offered by finishing from close range.
There is still plenty of hard work ahead for Matlock. But the Gladiators showed a determination that had been lacking in earlier games and a togetherness to fight for the cause in difficult stages of the game. That must continue.
Matlock: Kennedy, Laight, Roe, Foster, Yates, Lukic, Richards, Leesley (Featherstone 79), Joynes (Ellington 63), McMahon, Deakin. Other subs: Hindley, Buxton.
Attendance: 255.

France's defense minister says that two French hostages captured in Niger were killed during the rescue attempt involving French forces.
A statement from Alain Juppe says the hostages, who have not been identified, were found dead at the Niger-Mali border after a clash with the kidnappers.
The two were kidnapped while dining at a restaurant Friday night in the Niger capital, Niamey.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.
NIAMEY, Niger (AP) - Authorities say they're hunting down the kidnappers who abducted two Westerners from a bar in Niger's capital.
The captives taken by armed gunmen late Friday in the West African nation are believed to be French nationals, although the French Foreign Ministry has not confirmed their identities.
The governor of a region near Niger's border with Mali said Saturday that violent clashes with the kidnappers took place several hours later.
Col. Ibrahim Bagadoma, the governor of Tillabery region, vowed to free the two captives.
In September, five French citizens and two other foreigners were seized from a uranium mining town in the country's far north by an African offshoot of al-Qaida. It was not immediately known whether the group was behind the latest attack.

5A high school football semifinals: Fremont gets defensive to top Syracuse
papi_chulo Ogden, UTNov. 14, 2011 5:46 p.m.
@ Pay Dirt
The UHSAA sure doesn't have a problem reaching into an educators pocket. It is easier said than done, when one doesn't have self control and control over their tongue.
Hopefully Fremont shows well on Friday and represents all the northern utah teams.
Pay Dirt Kaysville, UTNov. 14, 2011 4:15 p.m.
Papi Chulo,
I agree a team mirrors the actions of their coaches a lot of the time. So it is important the coaches act with civility(easier said than done). I just have a hard time reaching into the pocket of an educator.
I hope Fremont shows well on Friday.
papi_chulo Ogden, UTNov. 14, 2011 2:25 p.m.
@Pay Dirt
Yeah I know how much they make because I've been part of a coaching staff. I've also learned that the things a coach says and does reflects not only him, but the school he coaches for along with the players he coaches. He is giving a poor representation of Syracuse High School. I've also talked to the players from Fremont and they were telling me all of the "stuff" that Syracuse players and coaches were telling them as they shook their hands after the game and it doesn't surprise me as Coach Jones just showed his true colors and showed that he doesn't run a classy program at Syracuse. If the call would have went the other way, you wouldn't have heard comments like that from Coach Bosgeiter. That man is the classiest coach in the state and it shows within his program at Fremont.
--It also looks like multiple people agree with me as I have 7 recommendations from the readers on here. They fined Mt. Crests coach $250 this year because of player infractions which were brought up by a nosey AD from Logan High, so why not fine Jones for making ill-advised comments?
Pay Dirt Kaysville, UTNov. 14, 2011 12:45 p.m.
You want to fine a high school coach? Do you know what these guys make? I don't agree with what Coach Jones said, but I'm sure an apology would be enough. It doesn't even need to be public.
Truesilverwolf OGDEN, UTNov. 14, 2011 12:07 p.m.
Lone Peak has gotten lucky the past two games. I had some Northridge fans telling me that they got away with a ton of holding in the game two weeks ago and those calls in the Jordan-Lone Peak game were extremely questionable. There's no question that this game will be loud. My prediction is very simple: Fremont vs. Lone Peak will be a down to the wire battle. It really matters on which offense shows up to play. Fremont's defense will be ready to stop the Chase Hansen Knights and that's why I predict a State Championship for FHS.
Fremont 27-21
Jxc#1 OGDEN, UTNov. 14, 2011 11:54 a.m.
@Sports-nut --- your right ... this year will end up like last year... a close LP v.s. Fremont game that Fremont ends up on top.... Again. Funny the LP fans have already forgot about who the last team that beat them was. should be a good game friday... good luck to both teams.
Fremontkid OGDEN, UTNov. 14, 2011 11:50 a.m.
Lone Peak will score thanks to Chase Hansen but they will be kept below 21 points. If you think that last sentence was a laugh then look at how Northridge kept Lone Peak at 21 points. Lone Peak's defense will not be able to keep Fremont from scoring. The reason I say this is they let Jordan put up 41 points against them. But when you look at how the Fremont defense faired against Jordan they kept them under 20. So my prediction for this game is Fremont 28 Lone Peak 21. Good Luck to both teams.
binghamalum South Jordan, UTNov. 14, 2011 11:31 a.m.
Should be a good game on Friday. Good luck to both teams.
Sports-nut Salt Lake City, UTNov. 14, 2011 11:09 a.m.
After reading all the comments leading up to this game, I was surprised to see that it was soooo much closer than Fremont expected. It's ok, the next game will end up similar to last year with Fremont ending up in th "Kiss Your Sister 2nd Place." Get it Lone Peak!!
Fremontkid OGDEN, UTNov. 14, 2011 10:12 a.m.
All I can say is Division 1 is the real deal and I can't wait for the game Friday. Go Fremont!!!
papi_chulo Ogden, UTNov. 14, 2011 8:18 a.m.
I was on the field at the goal line when the final play occured. I was sure it was a TD.
--Who are you the referee? lol.
SportsLover24 SAINT GEORGE, UTNov. 13, 2011 11:53 p.m.
FANTASTIC GAME!! All the people who bashed on Syracuse and said it would be a blowout: Every year they're a dark horse! Never count them out! But seriously, what a battle and what an insane finish! Honestly, one of the top 3 high school football games i've ever seen!! Congrats to Fremont for displaying some hardcore defense in closing seconds and inches (literally)... Very impressive game! Now Fremont, go shut those people down South up! REPRESENT REGION 1!!
rvb CLEARFIELD, UTNov. 12, 2011 9:56 p.m.
Get off Coach Jones. I was on the field at the goal line when the final play occured. I was sure it was a TD. After the first few replays on the jumbotron, I and many fans were still convinced. A few minutes later they re-played it and went frame by frame. It became apparent that it was the right call. Before the later replays, reporters approached Coach Jones and wanted an immediate comment. I'm sure Russ wishes he hadn't been quoted. But consider the moment- he's battling for his team. After 1000's of hours, to come so far and get so close to a title game, it was a tough moment. There's a reason reporters give college and pro coaches a "cooling off" period before interviews. One minute is not enough time. Coach Bosgeiter and Fremont deserve the win, Coach Jones DOES NOT deserve the criticism.
#1FremontFan(: OGDEN, UTNov. 12, 2011 8:20 p.m.
Whooo Go Fremont!(:
papi_chulo Ogden, UTNov. 12, 2011 9:48 a.m.
Mr. Jones needs to be fined by the UHSAA for his comments against the officials. In professional sports coaches get fined all the time for making comments about the refs or the officiating. All 10,000 people in the stadium saw that he was down before the ball crossed the goal line and I have another picture that shows his knee down and his foot out of bounds and the ball was a foot short of the goal line. I agree with LV Ute Fan that their coach is showing poor sportsmanship in this game. Good hard fought game between two of the best defenses in the state. Can't wait for the championship game next week against Lone Peak! Go FREMONT!!
UTOutlaw North Salt Lake, UTNov. 11, 2011 8:15 p.m.
LV Ute Fan, I thought they get it wrong watching it live, but the replay showed that it was the right call... Well officiated game!
RegionOne Ogden, UtahNov. 11, 2011 7:38 p.m.
Clearly was down! Picture proof. Good game by both teams though! Love too see Region 1 go far! Fremont For Life though! :)
CiderMan OGDEN, UTNov. 11, 2011 7:18 p.m.
What a bitter end to a hard fought battle for Syracuse. They are an exceptional team. Good job Fremont what a season and what a game!
LV Ute Fan Las Vegas, NVNov. 11, 2011 6:00 p.m.
Mr. Jones, are you a big enough man to admit you were wrong after seeing the replay? Very poor sportmanship.

Who else but Johnathan Thurston?
Another thrilling chapter has been added to the blockbuster NRL Queensland rivalry, with the Cowboys' co-captain's field goal sealing a 21-20 extra-time win on Friday night over Brisbane.
Something had to give after the Queensland derby went into extra time for the fourth time in five clashes.
Enter Thurston.
A week after a duffed field-goal attempt led to the Cowboys' opening-season win, Thurston made no mistake when he stepped up in the 88th minute to bring the 47,703-strong Suncorp Stadium crowd to their feet.
That man Thurston again broke Brisbane hearts, just like he had in the unforgettable 2015 grand final.
It capped a memorable night for Thurston.
The Cowboys' playmaker became only the sixth player in Australian rugby league history to crack the 2000-point barrier when he converted a 19th-minute try by a barnstorming Coen Hess.
But the thrilling win came at a cost.
Returning North Queensland winger Antonio Winterstein lasted just 13 minutes before he left the field with a suspected broken forearm.
Prop Matt Scott left the field with a suspected facial injury with barely 10 minutes to go.
And they will sweat on wrecking ball back-rower Jason Taumalolo after the Dally M Medallist's 26th-minute hit on Brisbane's Alex Glenn.
The match review committee is expected to look at his high shot on Glenn that gifted Brisbane a penalty to level at 6-6.
Brisbane also didn't emerge unscathed.
Test back-rower Matt Gillett (concussion) was lost by the 49th minute, while reserve Tevita Pangai Jnr went down with a hamstring complaint.
Brisbane levelled the scores again at 18-18 after winger Jordan Kahu scored in the 54th minute off what appeared a clear James Roberts forward pass.
Thurston could be seen arguing with officials after Anthony Milford's penalty kick locked it up.
Both sides then traded penalties to square it up again at 20-20 with six minutes left.
Brisbane's Ben Hunt initially looked like the halfback who would nab the limelight.
The besieged No.7 appeared to silence his critics when he helped Brisbane grab a 14-6 first-half lead.
Under pressure to perform since signing a lucrative five-year St George Illawarra deal, Hunt's pinpoint grubbers set up tries for James Roberts (7th minute) and skipper Darius Boyd (34th).
But Thurston ensured he stole the show.

Genex Cooperative, Inc. has announced the winners of the 2013 employee mission awards and the recipient of the Kevin Boyle Leadership Award.
Mission award winners Joel Delzer of Shawano, Wis., Marcos Castillo of Roswell, N.M., and the Fab Five service team from western New York consisting of Doug Comstock, York, N.Y.; Chris Lowe, Pavilion, N.Y.; David Rice, Le Roy, N.Y.; Rolland Sears, Perry, N.Y.; and Howard Klein, Retsof, N.Y. - excel in meeting the cooperative's mission of providing products and services as effectively as possible to maximize the profitability of members and customers. Bill Casey of River Falls, Wis., earned the Kevin Boyle Leadership Award in recognition of his commitment to improving farm reproduction and genetics, willingness to help others, ability to provide producers with superior support services, excellent communication skills and positive attitude.
Delzer has developed his service and leadership skills through 13 years at Genex. He first worked as an intern, became a Breeding Program Specialist providing cattle reproductive service, worked as a sales representative and served in the cooperative's employee training department before accepting the position of Area Marketing Manager. Today, Delzer dedicates his time to developing the 30 employees who serve Genex members and customers throughout northeast Wisconsin and the majority of Michigan's Upper Peninsula.
Castillo joined Genex full time in May 2012 and in the short time since has demonstrated a high level of commitment to the cooperative and local producers. He works as a Territory Sales Manager operating a sales route that covers a large portion of New Mexico including the Albuquerque, Roswell and Las Cruces areas as well as a portion of the Texas Panhandle.
The Fab Five team has a strong dedication to the Genex members they serve in western New York between the cities of Avon, Nunda, Pike and Pavilion. Demonstrating their effectiveness and commitment, herds outside their primary service area have requested their professional service too. In total, the team provided cattle reproductive service to 80 herds during 2013 with outstanding results; together they averaged a 25.3 percent pregnancy rate.
Casey has dedicated more than 30 years to providing cattle genetics, reproductive service and herd management supplies to Genex members and customers. Currently, and for most of his career, Bill has worked in western Wisconsin and a portion of eastern Minnesota. As Casey states, this role in the cattle industry is what he truly enjoys. "I enjoy the genetics part of the business, to see the herd improvements made through the selection of good genetics. The second part of what makes this job so great is the relationships formed with members and customers."
The Kevin Boyle Leadership Award is presented to one Genex employee annually. The award was established in honor of Kevin Boyle, a former Genex Senior Reproduction Specialist who demonstrated vision, devotion and pride for the cooperative. Boyle passed away unexpectedly in February 2011 at the age of 47.
For more information on Genex representatives in your area, visit www.crinet.com
Genex is a subsidiary of Cooperative Resources International (CRI), a member-owned holding cooperative. The mission statement summarizes the goal of CRI: "To provide products and services as effectively as possible to maximize the profitability of members and customers worldwide while maintaining a strong cooperative."

Posted: August 4, 2009
Several employees of a small chain of plastic surgery clinics in North Carolina were arrested and charged with altering drug labels and dispensing a drug imitation after they allegedly administered a neurotoxin to patients that had not been approved for use in humans. According to the charges, the practice began in 2004, when the company knowingly purchased a botulinum toxin formulation that had not been approved for cosmetic use. Initially, the patients were informed that they were receiving a different drug, signed consent forms, and were charged a discounted price. Later patients were told they were receiving genuine BOTOX® Cosmetic injections and were charged a higher price.
This is not an isolated incident. The suppliers of the imitation BOTOX® Cosmetic were convicted of fraud and conspiracy in 2008, and since then a number of clinics have been implicated in the sale of botulinum toxin not approved for human use.
The urge to sell imitation products is a common temptation for discount providers. Med-spas, clinics, and plastic surgery practices whose goal is to provide the cheapest product are naturally going to look for ways to reduce their own costs, and whether they offer you a discount price or not, cutting costs often means introducing an unknown risk.
New York plastic surgeon Dr. George Lefkovits is dedicated to the highest quality care for his patients, and would never jeopardize this standard of care by using imitation treatments. He urges patients considering discount practices to remember that a risk to life and body may not be worth the savings.
If you are interested in care of the highest quality, please contact New York plastic surgeon Dr. Lefkovits for a consultation today.

Some of the FC Group pages have a JUST OTHERS option which you cannot get to with the mobile FB apps so I go to them full site. I can browse to the site just fine, get to the JUST OTHERS but when I click in the new comment box at the top, I *ABSOLUTELY CAN NOT GET THE KEYBOARD TO POP UP*. So there is no way to enter a new post. For all the other existing posts, if I click on COMMENT the keyboard pops right up and I can enter a comment under an existing post. But I cannot enter a new comment at the top of the page. I used to be able to do this with 2.1. I have tried this with built in Internet browser and also with Dolphin browser and get the same results. This is on a HTC Incredible running 2.2 thru Verizon.

Patsy's work examines what it means to have "presence" through greater self-awareness, and teaches how to rediscover the innate presence we all possess, both physically and mentally. Patsy also delivers workshops and keynotes for Women Ahead on the topic of presence and impact. A much liked session for women's network.
Patsy currently serves as Director of Voice at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, and teaches voice at Michael Howard Studios in New York City.

The expanded Faculty of Medicine space has been designed to serve the Faculty's new and more progressively engaged, problem based, spiral curriculum. The advanced facility accommodates for an approximate 33% increase in medical student registration and will serve to stabilize Newfoundland and Labrador's physician resources.
We worked with NORR Limited to complete programming for the expansion, while simultaneously starting programming for the new Genetics Research Centre. The team recognized opportunities for students, caregivers, and researchers to collaborate if the two projects were to merge, along with significant building cost savings for clients.
Key features of the Faculty of Medicine space include 15 seminar learning rooms, a 20-room standardized patient training and testing facility, a four unit patient simulation and surgical training center, 2,100 seat lecture theatres as well as single floor consolidation of all the faculty administration and management, including all dean and sub-dean divisions.
The Genetics Research Centre provides a modern research space to accommodate world-class advancements in genetic and genomic research. Vital to this facility are wet and dry lab research spaces, a biobank for specimen storage and control, laboratories for technology development, as well as a major research data centre.

Baroness Blatch: Can the Minister name some of the organisations to which he is referring when he talks about the network of organisations concerned with disability in local communities? My experience is that organisations such as Scope and MENCAP rely almost entirely on voluntary fundraising, whether it be local
Lord Hunt of Kings Heath: In contrast to the position in relation to racial equality issues at the start, we are fortunately blessed with many effective local groups for disabled people. Therefore, an important role for the new commission will be to work with those networks. Such networks were not in place in relation to racial equality issues.
Baroness Blatch: The Minister is missing my point. We are now placing on the commission statutory obligations. If the commission determines to use those organisations which rely at the moment on voluntary contributions, it will, just as the racial equality organisations do, expect to receive statutory funding to meet those statutory obligations.
Lord Hunt of Kings Heath: Many of those local organisations are, in one way or another, in receipt of grants. If the disability rights commission is to be effective, it will need to have in place an effective network in order to communicate with these local groups. What I dispute with the noble Baroness is the case that, necessarily, one needs regional offices to assist that process. That decision is much better taken by the commission when it has had time to establish itself.
Lord Rix: Before the Minister sits down, perhaps I may correct the impression that the majority of MENCAP's local societies, of which there are more than 400 in this country, certainly receive government funding. They may do indirectly--occasionally for projects and there is some European funding--but as a weekly, monthly or annual income, that is certainly not so.
Lord Hunt of Kings Heath: I certainly did not mean to convey the impression that the noble Lord picked up. I was simply making the point that grants and resources from statutory organisations are available to many groups. I would certainly wish to acknowledge the work that many groups do without statutory support. The substantive issue is the role of the commission in ensuring an effective network with these groups and with disabled people locally. The question of whether regional offices can help that process is best left to the commission. It has that power to establish those offices. I think it best if we leave it to the commission to make those decisions.
Lord Rix: Before the Minister sits down, perhaps I may make one final point. I think I speak on behalf of MENCAP even though I am now president and not chairman, when I say that if the Government felt so minded as to fund our MENCAP family adviser service in the regions--it will also cover Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland--so that we were able to act as, as it
Lord Hunt of Kings Heath: I take note of the noble Lord's point but there is no commitment.
Lord Ashley of Stoke: It has been an excellent debate. However, I now find that we are beginning to hurl recommendations of the task force at each other. The score now is two to the Government and one to us. I was able to quote the task force against my noble friend on one occasion. But now it is two to one against us so I think we will call it a draw and not use the task force to support our argument, as we may lose it anyhow.
My noble friend managed to convey some criticism of regional organisations. I accept that there can be things wrong with regions but it is not simply a matter of regional organisations. In these amendments, I was thinking of local organisations as well. The argument that regions cannot be brilliant is not necessarily a good one.
I wish to turn to the argument about networks. My noble friend seems to think that the commission will be able to work with what he calls a network of voluntary organisations--I am sure it can--but the functions are entirely different. What the commission will be doing is very different from what MENCAP and the RNIB are doing. But if he wants them to work together, surely a network can work better with a network. Regional and local organisations will be better able to work with the network of voluntary organisations to which he referred.
We have covered this issue very well in this debate. I am grateful to my noble friend for his words. We may return to this issue on Report. I beg leave to withdraw the amendment.
Amendment, by leave, withdrawn.
On Question, Whether Clause 2 shall stand part of the Bill?
Baroness Darcy de Knayth: Perhaps I may take this opportunity to focus briefly on the question of access to polling stations, which was mentioned briefly at Second Reading on 17th December, when regrettably I could not be present. I have no wish to delay the progress of the Committee or take away from the general thrust of the amendments. I therefore raise the matter at this point in order to clarify the position.
During the Second Reading debate, the noble Lord, Lord Campbell of Croy, envisaged (at col. 1468) that commissioners might have to decide whether right of access to polling booths should be enforced. He later said that,
The noble Lord, Lord Campbell of Croy, knew that I should raise this matter. He knows that we disagree about it. He also knows how much I appreciate all that he has accomplished for himself and for disabled people in general, and that he has had a good many more years' experience of living with a disability than I have. What we do agree on is that the commissioners should not have to spend time sorting this matter out. I hope that that will be because we shall move swiftly towards ensuring that polling stations can easily accommodate people with physical, sensory and learning difficulties. The proposal would also accommodate people with arthritis, or those with pushchairs etc. It would apply to the general public.
Many disabled people feel very strongly that they should have the opportunity to vote in person, along with the rest of the community. Scope and RADAR have long campaigned for access to polling stations, and successive governments have been supportive.
I wish to make two main points, the first on polling stations and the second on the postal vote. The vast majority of polling stations are in public buildings--schools, libraries and community centres--which should be accessible to everyone all the year round, not merely on election day. Scope's latest survey, taken in 1997, of over 1,200 polling stations indicated that 92 per cent. were in public buildings.
Postal voters must send off the envelope some days before the election date to be certain of its arrival. Yet politicians campaign right up to the last moment. I do not need to tell your Lordships, who unlike me have parties, that people sometimes take voting decisions extremely late in the day. Noble Lords are aware of how elections have been lost and won during the final days of a campaign. The postal vote may suit those who are very sure in their choice, but it should not be the only method of voting instead of allowing people the choice of taking part with everyone else on the day.
I hope that the Minister will be able to give a strong and encouraging message to electors with disabilities, many of whom feel very strongly about this issue.
Lord Campbell of Croy: The noble Baroness, Lady Darcy de Knayth, kindly gave me notice that she intended to raise this issue as she was unable to be present at Second Reading. I gave this as an example of what might be claimed as a right, but said that I hoped it could be settled locally without it being a matter that the commission had to look into in great depth. There are alternative arrangements. I have always voted by post. At various times over the past 54 years I have been in a wheelchair or on crutches and have decided, even when I was an MP voting in my own constituency where my home is, that the sensible thing was for me to apply well beforehand and be registered as a postal voter.
My concern since then, in the other place and as the Member of the Cabinet responsible for these matters, was to attempt to enable as many people as possible to

Sometimes i dont understand the way HP works- An article with all qualities of stellar hub- 8 pics, poll, 1496 words when i have met all the goals required is unfeatured, and this is not the first time, it keeps happening. Where am i wrong? What am I missing?
Make it a little cleaner!
Is it unfeatured due to quality or due to engagement. A hub can be unfeatured because it doesn't get engagement from the readers.
I just wrote that hub and published, so it is not due to engagement
Post the link in the "Improving your Hub" section, then we might be able to give you more specific advice.
Young Hopes, I briefly looked at your hub titles at your profile, and it seems you have some nice hubs to me. You mentioned that your hubs get an unfeatured status due to quality and that "this keeps happening."What did you do to eventually get them featured? What are you doing differently? Focus on that.Without further review of your hubs, I can only suggest that you unpublish the article in question, make one or two changes (they don't have to be big), and then publish the article again to see what happens.Whatever you do, don't get discouraged and don't give up writing. We learn from our experiences. --Blessings!
Could be the way the article is written, is the grammar and spelling all correct?
Thankfully the grammar and spelling all are ok, this happened earlier too and all i that was added one more text module to it, then it was featured, perhaps i need to do it now as well, but if i have already written a hub of more than1000 words, i dont think i should write more.
I recently had my 99th hub not featured due to quality (my first) and I believe it was due to incorrect photo attribution. All I did to get it published was change the attribution of the photos and add a poll.
I have already added the poll and photos are well attributed but still...
I suggest using the article on a site other than hubpages... It could become big there for all you know...
Yeah you are right, i need to do that, but since i am concentrating only on hubpages right now, it seems tough to do, but perhaps in future i would be doing so, thanks for the idea
Is there a particular symbol next to the Hub that would give a better indication of why it was unfeatured? Hubs can be unfeatured for quality or for engagement. Knowing which would allow people to offer more practical advice for the situation.
It is unfeatured due to quality
Maybe it is unfeatured because of the topic you write about. What is your hub about?
Rundown the hub against all the points raised on his page,http://hubpages.com/learningcenter/How- … y-of-a-HubAnd my two cents is to not worry about the person saying to stick to just one or two topics. I have 200 (featured) Hubs and my topics range all over the place. However, I do feel that writing about things that you really do know and which are drawn from things you really do in your day-to-day life is key towards developing the best content.
I've had a look at your hubs and there's one thing that I've noticed.. you're all over the place. Today you're writing about health, tomorrow about Christmas, then about, hair, then this and that. One thing HP doesn't like is a "know it all Jane" and that's one reason your hubs aren't featured. Stick to one or two topics, that way people know you're an expert in these fields. Your hubs show that you don't have much knowledge or experience in what you're writing about as it shows you've just researched and reworded your hubs but you're not engaging your audience. It's like your a robot and there's no emotions connected to your writing.Also you have an extremely low use of high converting keywords and most of your topics are not what people are searching and looking for. Too many writers here think the more hubs you write, the more money you make, which is totally false. I have less than 10 hubs but all my hubs are featured and every month (for the last seven months) I get paid and I have an average of 3,000 hits daily on just one of my hubs.People here complain daily of not having featured hubs or traffic and its simply because you are writing stuff people are not interested in, or you're writing on topics that have no unique content. People want fresh, new ideas, new solutions, new new new.And HP only features hubs that will get high conversions, high reader participation and highly searched. HP will not feature a hub that will cost them more than they will earn in revenues from ads. I'm a SEO expert so I kinda know what people are looking for that's why I write only one hub a year because that hub will get me more views and makes me more money than if I write 100 hubs with no traffic or engagement.Hope this helps.
Absolutely untrue. One of the beauties of HubPages is that you're not restricted to writing on a single topic, as you are on your own blog or website. The QAP Assessors assess each Hub on its own merits, and do not take into consideration what else that Hubber has written.
I agree Marisa, since HP is not a blog so i dont restrict myself to writing just one topic and if i look at the stats of my hubs, i am always happy because they are being searched, most importantly they are being pinned, Thanks for telling me about QAP Assessors which i wasnt knowing
+1 to what Marisa said.
I agree with Marisa and Relache - a good (experienced and competent) writer can research and write original pieces on a huge variety of topics. Hubs that simply talk about a subject without backing things up factually won't make the quality cut (or shouldn't make it, at least. @ the OP - make certain your spelling, punctuation, grammar and capitalization are consistent with good English usage.
That would be 90,000 views in one month. I wonder why HP didn't give you the 100K view accolade yet?
Hahahaha I was thinking the same
Agreed.Aneegma's newest hub is reported to be 6 weeks old. 6 weeks = 42 days, 42 x 3000 = 126,000 hits. Thus, the 100,000 views accolade would have been earned more than a week ago just by views on this hub alone.
LMAO I wonder the same thing WF!
LOL! Funny that this person doesn't hide the accolades that give away the sorry truth....
1. QAP doesn't know or care what keywords convert.2. QAP doesn't know or care what other topics she has written on.
I write on many different topics and all of my hubs are featured. So it's not true to say that a person has two write on only a few topics... By doing that you are actually limiting the reader base.
All of my hubs are on completely different topics and all are featured. I also have a number of Editor's Choice hubs as well.At your reported level of hits per day, I would expect your hubber score to be 100...
Well, I can see the 100,000 views accolade.Am I the only one who bothered to look?
I'm seeing the 10K accolade. Go clean your glasses. Meanwhile, I need to brush up on my higher math. One hub a year. Been on the site 18 months. Has around seven hubs. There must be an algebraic formula I'm missing there.
Yes, I acknowledged that above. I also deleted that screenshot a few minutes after I posted it. So I am not sure how you managed to find it.It would save a lot of confusion if you deleted it. But it is up to you, of course.
Oh sorry, I thought the pack was attacking younghopes. But it was attacking someone else.

An extraordinary work of history and original reporting that reveals the ways in which presidential marriages have affected the tone, character, and policies of 12 administrations, from Woodrow and Edith Wilson to George W. and Laura Bush.
Each of the marriages that Kati Marton examines in this hugely appealing book offers up its own unexpected lessons about power and marriage, about the influence of presidential wives, and about the evolution of women's roles in the 20th century. Based on private White House documents and on interviews with the participants and with eyewitnesses to presidential events, Hidden Power explores how both the personal dynamics and public faces of White House marriages have shaped our history.
We see Edith Wilson literally running the government when her deeply beloved husband becomes ill; how the combination of Franklin Roosevelt's reassuring spirit and his wife's humility guided the country through Depression and war; how Bess Truman's loyalty, bluntness, and unpretentiousness were some of her husband's greatest resources; and the superb and necessary diplomacy of Jacqueline Kennedy.
We observe Lady Bird Johnson retaining her own compass in the face of massive criticism of her husband; how Patricia Nixon's estrangement from her husband fed his paranoia; how the Fords reassured us after the debacles of Vietnam and Watergate; Rosalynn Carter's struggle to carve out new territory as first lady; the generally constructive role Nancy Reagan played, despite her frivolous reputation; the razor-sharp political instincts behind Barbara Bush's grandmotherly image; how Hillary Clinton saved her husband's presidency; and how Laura Bush provides emotional ballast for her husband.
Here are the stories of the ultimate power couples - each one very different, but all of them informative, lively, and absolutely fascinating.
"Insightful. . . . Colorful. . . . A shrewd and illuminating look at the juncture where the personal and the political overlap." (The Wall Street Journal)
"Brilliant. . . . Delectable. . . . Marton has a deft hand with narrative. . . . It's the intimate, keyhole view of these marriages that gives Hidden Power its allure." (Newsday)
"Irresistible. . . . An entertaining shot of history. . . . Scores of interviews and extensive research have turned up some revealing anecdotes and shrewd insights." (The New York Times)

A major pensions dispute for the Port of Tyne Authority has been dropped just hours before the legal fallout over the PNPF Trust Company litigation was due to be heard by the Court of Appeal.
Eversheds partner Giles Orton had instructed 3 Stone Buildings' Sarah Asplin QC to lead the appeal against a judgment delivered by Mr Justice Warren last June.
The case, which involved nine silks, was brought to the High Court by the trustee of the Pilots National Pension Fund (PNPF), who was represented by Hogan Lovells partner Angela Dimsdale Gill and Wilberforce Chambers' Michael Tennet QC.
It concerned a raft of legislation passed in the early 1990s designed to protect pension scheme members from raiders.
The rules meant that employers would be obliged to pay into any ongoing scheme they were involved with and would also have to pay an exit fee to help fund any deficit when they ceased to be involved with the scheme.
However, there were several ambiguities around the legislation such as how much trustees were liable to pay into the fund on an ongoing basis and whether the legislation should override this.
There were also questions about how trustees should interpret the 'ceased to be involved' rule meaning that trustees of pensions schemes such as Pilots National Pension Fund, which was funded by multiple employers, would have difficulty working out when they could expect their lump sum.
The parties went to the High Court with more than 40 legal points to be determined by Warren J. His judgment outlined when employers were under an obligation to pay periodic contributions into their schemes and when they become liable to make lump sum payments into the scheme in order to secure benefits.
The port of Tyne Authority had sought to challenge the ruling, but today withdrew the case. It will now cover the full cost of the case.

Is Kate Moss Dating the Director of Love Actually's 18-Year-Old Son? Maybe!
This rumor really came out of nowhere. Oh wait, no, it came out of England. So after separating from her husband, Jamie Hince, Kate Moss apparently began dating Nikolai von Bismarck, the 28-year-old son of her friend, Countess Debonnaire von Bismarck. But that's over!
