West Hollywood News
WEST HOLLYWOOD—On the evening of Tuesday, July 10, a badly decomposed body was removed from an apartment by Los Angeles County Sheriff detectives and the Los Angeles County Coroner.
Reports indicate police believe the body was that of a male's, but no further information could be determined about the man due to the extreme decomposition of the body.
Police are investigating as a possible homicide. Photo courtesy of Myspace A 1989 Volkswagen Fox sitting in the apartment's parking space was removed by a tow truck to help detectives determine whether the man was a resident of the apartment. large paper bags thought to be filled with evidence were also removed from the apartment located at 7654 Fountain Avenue.
The investigation resulted in stopped eastbound traffic on Fountain from Curson at around 4:15 p.m. The backup could be traced all the way to Fairfax Avenue.
This is the second case in the last few months in which a badly decomposed body has been discovered long after the person's death.
On June 9, the body of Steven John Simmons was discovered in a Cadillac SUV at the corner of Willoughby and Genesee Avenues. An investigation revealed the Cadillac belonged to Jacob Anthonisen, the step-brother of Simmons. Anthonisen has been missing since the estimated time of Simmons' death around May 27-29. Simmons and Anthonisen had previously served time for felonies.

Ryan Seacrest Is No. 1 on THR's Reality Power List
Jeff Olde has a theory about his network's enduring appeal as a reality-show hub. "I feel like VH1 is everyone's really fun best friend," he says. "People come to us to have a really good time and to laugh. We take something that's part of the pop-culture universe and take you deep inside of it." Olde's approach was a winner with one of the music network's newer entries in the reality canon, Basketball Wives, whose second-season finale in March attracted 2.3 million viewers, making it the highest-rated telecast on VH1 in more than two years. Olde, who lives in Los Angeles, also got America hooked on Celebrity Rehab and Sober House, and is hotly anticipating his next glimpse inside the private lives of better halves, Mob Wives, a collaboration with Harvey Weinstein that bows this month. "We went into the pitch and I wondered, 'Alright, what is this going to be?' " says the die-hard American Idol fan. "But the lines that were coming out of these women's mouths … it was stuff that no writer could ever dream up. I walked out and said, 'We can't not do this show.' "

Hot answers tagged distribution
Yes - this happens all the time, and there are hundreds of larger-budget films that go directly to DVD either because test screenings fell flat or the distributors got cold feet.
Big names including Pacino, Statham and Butler are not immune to this, and to prevent this question and answer turning into a long list, here is a link to Hollywood.com which ...
The iTunes trailer for John Dies at the End proclaims that it will be available online, "everywhere" from december 2012 before its cinema release in January 2013. Of course by "everywhere" they mean the USA and nowhere else.
By "everywhere", they're not referring to geography, they're referring to the various digital storefronts where movies can be ...
The people who pick which films to release on Criterion already seem like fans of the director, Wes Anderson, having released all of his previous features (except his newest, Moonrise Kingdom, and The Grand Budapest Hotel which has not been released theatrically yet). Bottle Rocket, Rushmore, The Royal Tenenbaums, The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou and The ...
First, let's clear up a misconception. Films don't normally "come out on the same day". It is more common for this to happen nowadays, but many films still have several weeks or months between American release and European/worldwide release. (10 years ago, in the UK we had to wait 6 months in most cases.)
There are several reasons why films are released at ...
The gimmick in Gremlins 2: The New Batch with the projector is actually inspired by the film The Tingler which first introduced it.
Apparently The Tinger was screened in theaters and in drive-ins. When the film went black a voice warned:
Ladies and gentlemen, please do not panic. But scream! Scream for your lives! The Tingler is loose in this theater!
In this context, collections and receipts have the same meaning and are interchangeable.
As for who receives the monies, that is based on a sliding scale. The percentage that goes to theater owner and distributor changes depending on how long a movie stays at a theater. The longer a theater shows a film, the greater the percentage of the ticket price goes ...
The Internet Movie Database lists the budget on the main page of a movie under the heading Box Office.
I haven't yet found a resource for television budgets. It seems accountability is less. The reasons I've found so far are
Many actors want their salaries secret.
Since tickets are not sold, "weekend profits" is less a marketing tool.
Advertisers do ...
A: It costs too much.
A simplistic analogy is a new college graduate saying, "You know, I'm just going to buy 10 houses at the same time and sell them all on the same day and make millions" – vs. buying, selling, buying selling, to build equity, to learn the product/markets along the way, and to spread the insane distribution negotiation process out. So – ...

12AX7 heaters from 9VAC transformer
I am trying to feed the heaters of a single 12AX7 from a 9VAC supply. After rectification and filtering, I get 10.8VDC.
I need 6.3V @ 300mA. Is there a simple way to achieve this with just a series resistor? Do you have any similar schematics I can take a look at? Thanks! |

Ohm's law says you need 15 ohms, but this includes the output impedance of your DC supply.

You need to drop (10.8-6.3) 4.5V @ 300mA.
Assuming the 10.8VDC will not drop under load, Rseries = Vdrop / I = 4.5V/0.3A = 15 Ohm Power = Vdrop * I = 4.5V * 0.3A = 1.35W ==> take at least 3W to be safe. If the 10.8VDC drops under load, Rseries has to be smaller too... |

another idea - could voltage double the 9VAC supply and then bump it down to 12.6V via resistor or regulator. Of course that puts you in the same boat as before!

Wire the heaters in series and run on 10.8VDC, no problem...
If you really need higher emissions, was probably wrong tube for the job anyways... Last edited by kenpeter; 11th August 2010 at 02:36 PM. |

What Kenpeter suggests, but using Shottky diodes to rectify.
If I disappear suddenly, that means I finally created a time machine and pushed wrong button that brought me to Stalin's Russia. In any experiment any result is the result. Even if it is negative. |

Use large (5X your current draw) schottky diodes to minimize the voltage drop. You should be able to get near 12V that way. For a single 12AX7 1A diodes will work fine, but 3A might give you less forward drop.
What topology rectification are you using? Half wave? Full Wave center tapped? Full wave bridge? What is the ampere rating of the transformer? You may have too much internal IR Drop. What size capacitor do you have? How much ripple (AC) riding on the DC? |

You can also put a resistor in the primary with similar results.

heater center tap
There is a center tap on the heater of the 12AX7, making it two six.threes (nine). I've been rectifying the AC heater supply of my H182 organ to try to get some dc to bias a NFET gate, I cant get more than 5 VDC, so I think Hammond runs their heaters at about 5 vac. The tubes lasted 42 years so far, and they don't hardly glow. Go the the flea market, buy a 6VAC wall plug transformer, they are $1 here at the charity resale shops.

Report: Data Show No 'Upsurge In Muslim-American Terrorism'
There was a decline last year in the already "small" number of Muslim-Americans indicted for violent terrorist plots and the rate of radicalization among that group remains "far less than many feared" after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, a researcher at North Carolina's Triangle Center on Terrorism and Homeland Security reports today.
According to University of North Carolina sociology professor Charles Kurzman, who has been studying and reporting about such statistics the past three years, "20 Muslim-Americans were indicted for violent terrorist plots in 2011, down from 26 the year before, bringing the total since 9/11 to 193, or just under 20 per year."
His latest study also concludes that "the number of Muslim-Americans indicted for support of terrorism — financing, false statements, and other connections with terrorist plots and organizations, aside from violent plots — fell from 27 individuals in 2010 to 8 in 2011, bringing the total to 462 since 9/11."
Kurzman writes that:
"The limited scale of Muslim-American terrorism in 2011 runs counter to the fears that many Americans shared in the days and months after 9/11, that domestic Muslim-American terrorism would escalate. [A] spike in terrorism cases in 2009 renewed these concerns, as have repeated warnings from U.S. government officials about a possible surge in homegrown Islamic terrorism. The predicted surge has not materialized."
Cases increased sharply in 2009, Kurzman has previously reported, because of 17 Somali-Americans were indicted on various terrorism-related charges. In 2010 there was one indictment of a Somali-American. In 2011, there were none.
That year also brought the killing of 13 people at Fort Hood, Texas. Army psychiatrist Maj. Nidal Hasan, who authorities say had become a radical Muslim, is to go on trial for the killings in June.

"Recovered my contacts"
Version: Wondershare Dr.Fone for Android 4.0
My little girl played with my Samsung Galaxy Mini and deleted all my contacts. I thought it was just gone. Then I tried Wondershare Dr.Fone for Android and it worked magic! Many thanks, Wonderhshare!
None to say
"Good for me"
Version: Wondershare Dr.Fone for Android 3.5.1
Accidentally deleted photos and videos stored in my Galaxy note 2 internal phone memory and i tried this software, it helped me find them back. Thanks very much.
none now..
It works fine. Great!
"Didn't work"
Version: Wondershare Dr.Fone for Android 3.5.1
Found everything but messages (SMS).
Didn't find any messages (SMS).
Paid $49.95 for it so I could recover the most important thing, the messages (SMS), it didn't find any. I feel cheated and I'm a little upset I seem to have wasted money. And they won't refund you if it didn't do as intended so there's no point in trying to get your money back.
I'm still awaiting a response to my support ticket since neither of my Android phone were found to have any text messages listed, but everything else was found without issues.

On April 26, 2007, the Delhi Police Special Cell claimed to have arrested three Lashkar-e-Toiba operatives one a Pakistani and two of Jammu and Kashmir from Dilli Haat along with RDX, electronic detonators and grenades, and that this had foiled a fidayeen attack planned during celebrations of the 150th anniversary of the first war of Independence. After five years of trial, additional sessions judge (north), Tis Hazari Courts, Savita Rao this month threw out the terror charges against all three men.
The Pakistani national was, however, found guilty of being in India without a visa and convicted under the Foreigners Act. The Special Cell says it has started proceedings for his deportation, while planning an appeal in the High Court against the acquittals.
Judge Rao observed the prosecution had "miserably failed to establish any link of the accused with any banned terrorist outfit" and "not been able to prove even the recovery of incriminating substances beyond reasonable doubt". Excerpts from the judgment:
Police case
Sub-inspector Kailash Singh Bisht sent a rukka to the Special Cell for registration of an FIR, saying, "During the first week of April 2007, secret information was received that commanders of LeT had directed Ammar (codename) of Pakistan, operational chief commander in Jammu & Kashmir, to carry out a fidayeen attack in the capital on the occasion of 150th celebration of the first war of India's Independence..."
On April 26, 2007, information was received that (Shafaquat) Iqbal, along with an associate, was coming from Jammu & Kashmir to deliver a consignment to a Pakistani fidayeen near the entry gate of Dilli Haat. A raiding team was formed At about 6:45 pm, two persons were seen coming on foot. One was identified by the (police) informer as Iqbal... They sat down on the boundary wall in front of the ticket counter. After about 10 minutes, another person came... Iqbal opened his bag and took out a parcel. On the signal of Inspector Mohan Chand Sharma, they were overpowered

West Virginia University basketball fans can get their first look at their new-look basketball team at 7:30 p.m. today with the Gold-Blue Debut at the Coliseum.
Admission to the event is free with gates opening at 6:30 p.m.
A 40-minute officiated game between the Gold and Blue teams will be the centerpiece of the evening that includes a slam dunk contest, the introduction of the men's players and staff, a speech from Bob Huggins and an autograph session with the team following the event on the Coliseum floor.
Additional events include highlight videos and performances from the Mountaineer pep band, cheerleaders and dance team.
Parking is free,
"You should be able to get in and out of the parking lot great," Huggins said, jokingly, considering that it is Friday before the homecoming football game and with spaces already limited by the arrival of Fox Saturday College Tour, which will air from the Coliseum lot on Saturday.
WVU is completely retooling its style after a difficult transition season moving into the Big 12, Huggins suffering through his first losing season since he was at Akron as a rookie Division I coach.
"I'd like to say we'll play really hard and be really physical, but I think they are outlawing the physicality. I don't know how physical we'll be allowed to be.
"We'll be more perimeter-oriented than we were last year," Huggins said. "We'll probably be more like we were my first few years here before we got Deniz (Kilicli) and some of those inside guys. I think the bulk of our scoring will come from the perimeter whether it's our perimeter guys shooting shots out there or our interior guys, because that's what we're good at."
WVU will go into the season, it appears, without its two top recruits as Elijah Macon has been declared ineligible and probably would not have been able to play due to injury, while Jonathon Holton's situation has not yet been clarified for Huggins, leaving him ineligible at present.
Holton can practice with the team and is expected to take part in the scrimmage.
WVU also has a completely closed scrimmage from which no information is allowed to be made public next week at Ohio State.
Huggins said both the Gold-Blue Debut scrimmage and the one at Ohio State are badly needed by his young team that is expected to be led by forwards Eron Harris and Terry Henderson and guards Juwan Staten and Gary Browne.
"We haven't run up and down at all," Huggins said. "We need to scrimmage. It's just that with all the new guys we're doing so much teaching we haven't had a chance to run up and down the court much."
Midnight Madness seems to be a thing of the past.
"I thought the Midnight Madness, in its inception, was really good, but it ran its course. We did it one time where they had people at five or six sites and people at those sites. We had Robin Roberts and Dick Vitale at our place. It was a pretty good deal," Huggins recalled.
"There were some issues raised about what time of night it was and when it was ending and those kind of things, so they changed the rule to where you could start at 5 o'clock. I thought the fans would enjoy a scrimmage more than watching us in a 3-point shooting contest."
Among the newcomers to watch is Morgantown High graduate Nathan Adrian, who has been displaying a killer outside shot in practice.
"I've always been confident shooting the ball. It's the one thing I've always tried to be my best at," Adrian said.

Staten overlooked for Big 12 Player of the Year
West Virginia's point guard Juwan Staten was overlooked by the Big 12 Coaches in the Player of the Year voting Sunday, the award going to Iowa State's Melvin Ejim, but Staten was named to the All-Big 12 first team and the All-Defensive team.
Mountaineers stun No. 8 Kansas, 92-86
The missing link finally showed itself for West Virginia University on Saturday, maybe just in time to save the season for the Mountaineers.
"Better late than never," is the way WVU guard Eron Harris put it after freshman center Devin Williams stepped out of the shadows and put together the game everyone has been waiting for in leading the Mountaineers to a crucial 92-86 victory over Kansas. -
Fairmont native named next Mountaineer
The riffle has been passed.
Fairmont native Michael Garcia was named West Virginia University's new Mountaineer Saturday.
The announcement came at the eight minute mark of the men's basketball team's eventual 92-86 upset win over No. 8 Kansas at the WVU Coliseum. -
HERTZEL COLUMN: Eron Harris bounces back to spark WVU
One minute and forty-seven seconds had ticked off the Coliseum clock on Saturday afternoon and things were off to the kind of start most people had expected, Kansas in the lead, albeit as slender as a one-point lead can be.
That was when Juwan Staten spotted Eron Harris open beyond the 3-point arc. -
Staten plans to test NBA after season
To the surprise of no one, West Virginia University guard Juwan Staten is going to explore his opportunities in the NBA at the end of this season, a season in which he has become perhaps the best player in the Big 12.
WVU women outlast TCU to advance in Big 12 tournament

HERTZEL COLUMN: Buie returns to WVU after a year away
It's nearly every little boy's dream to become a college football athlete, to play in a stadium before 60,000, 70,000, 100,000 fans, to wear the colors of a university proudly. There are cheerleaders and groupies; there's your name in headlines, your picture in the newspapers.
WVU looks to back up Huggins' prediction
It was after Kansas defeated West Virginia University, 83-69, a month ago in Lawrence, Bob Huggins reached into his deep library of inspirational sayings and came out with one from Abe Lemons, of all people, the one-time Texas coach who never was at a loss for words.
TCU tough matchup for WVU women
West Virginia University women's basketball coach Mike Carey is trying to find a happy balance now for his team as it enters its second season, the Big 12 Tournament.
HERTZEL COLUMN: Huggins just wants WVU to compete
In the end, with Bob Huggins, they count victories and losses, and he has always been one to pile up the victories while keeping the losses to a minimum, at least until the last two seasons at West Virginia University.
And, in the end, when he tries to analyze why the losses have come rather than the victories, he comes to understand that he just doesn't have the manpower to compete. - More WVU Sports Headlines

A 24-year-old man is in custody after authorities say he tried to run over an Chattanooga police officer this morning.
Lebron Brown tried to run over Nathan Rogers on the 100 block of Elmwood Drive around 1:30 a.m., according to a news release from the police department.
Rogers shot Brown in the arm, but Brown was still able to flee the scene in the car, the release stated.
Brown was taken into custody after he later arrived at a hospital for treatment. He has been charged with attempted first degree murder and aggravated assault.
Rogers was not injured during the incident and has been placed on administrative leave with pay, which police say is standard procedure for an officer involved shooting.
The incident is still under investigation.

Amazing to read some poisonous comments over a very shameful behaviour of some Tennessee residents! Newt Gingrich and Sarah Palin are fanning the flame of bigotry to score cheap points. How on earth building one Mosque in a predominant Christian city will pose danger to its citizens. It is those ignorant and intolerant protestors who are the real danger to its Laws and US. Was it not a mere half a century ago that Black Americans were lynched, denied entry into Churches or shopping malls of the Southern USA!It is becoming obvious that America is slowly sliding into a proto Fascism. It was Germany in 1930s, which was sold on the canard that the Jews pose a threat to their security. Hitler was democratically elected by Germans (driven by fear hate and bigotry) to vote National Socialism into power.One hopes and PRAYS that America is not sleep walking into similar nightmare. Was it not a US senator Joe McCarthy who hounded innocent Americans for being soft on Communism? He ruined so many lives of innocent Americans.Wake up America! Do not let Newt Gingrich or John Macain Sarah Palin become the 21st century demagogues!!!
@Naushad Shafkat
"Muslims are forbidden to speak ill of any of the Prophets of any other religion for the simple reason that the Prophets of all the other revealed religions are also the Prophets of Islam. Can any other religion match that?"
That's a LIE.
Joseph Smith, Jr., for instance, was the founder of the Latter Day Saint movement, a group of churches whose adherents regard him as a prophet. Does Islam recognise him as a prophet? NO, IT DOES NOT! Also, Bahá'u'lláh, is regareded as a messenger from God by members of the Baha'i Faith. Now, tell me, does Islam recognise him as a prophet? NO, IT DOES NOT!
@SamB88"I am sure there are some Muslims who aren't, for example, homophobic, xenophobic, pro-death penalty, anti-scientific facts like evolution and et cetera. However, they are certainly not in the majority."
I could say the same exact thing about Christians.

Ask their Imams if the citizens of Tennessee can raise funds and build a Christian temple in Mecca. If the answer is yes, then, by all means, we're all for it.
That would have been an appropriate comment if muslims were trying to buld a mosque in the Vatican City. This does not seem to be the case, does it?
Secondly, if you think Saudi-Arabia is an excellent guide to how to run a country, I suggest you move there yourself. Personally I think we should hold the US government to a slightly higher standard.
I can't believe that my country is so intolerant!!!
What a glaring example of how poorly informed and overly opinionated some of this readership seems to be. To speak about a complex social phenomena like religion, in such a general way, reveals a point of view of the narrowest sorts. A perspective most likely moulded by a barrage of over simplified, soundbite-sized, corrupted information. Christianity has a good share of homophobic and xenophobic racists among its diverse ranks, as do all other major religions. Reducing these religions to one dimensional caricatures and pitting them against each other in a fantasy bigot race seems a bit pointless. Arguing many of the comments posted here would be painful, tiring, extremely boring and would only validate them as being worthy of examination. You will have to excuse me as I scroll past to the next relevant and/or witty entry.
@stands for truth
"Amazing to read some poisonous comments over a very shameful behaviour of some Tennessee residents"
Have you ever read the poisonous stuff in the Quran? For instance: 'Unbelievers will be tormented forever with fire. When their skin is burned off, a fresh skin will be provided.' 4:56 This verse (and others) shows that Islam is a xenophobic religion. It sees the world as divided into two: (1) Muslims and (2) non-Muslims, and it regards non-Muslims as inferior, in quite the same way Nazis regard non-Aryans as inferior. Also, what about the disgusting views most Muslims hold about gay people and et cetera?
"Was it not a mere half a century ago that Black Americans were lynched, denied entry into Churches or shopping malls of the Southern USA!It is becoming obvious that America is slowly sliding into a proto Fascism. It was Germany in 1930s, which was sold on the canard that the Jews pose a threat to their security. Hitler was democratically elected by Germans (driven by fear hate and bigotry) to vote National Socialism into power."
If you want to make such a comparison then you have to justify it. You can't just compare apples and oranges and expect people to take you seriously.
I see several Israeli flags in that picture of the antimosque demonstrators, why is that? Is it a case of visiting Israelis supporting American "fellow Muslim haters"? Or are the flags being carried by Americans to whom Israel symbolises some kind of loathing of Muslims? Either way it is spooky
@Themis the just
"I can't believe that my country is so intolerant!!!"
If your country is the USA, your country is one of the most tolerant and hospitable countries in the world. It is a bastion of tolerance and freedom when especially compared to Muslim-majority countries.
Haha - seriously, you're such a moron.
I didn't say anything for you think that that stupid sarcastic comment of yours is warranted.
You couldn't address any of the points I made - e.g. about the nonsensicalness of the term 'Islamophobia', the almost absolute dominance of literal interpretation in the 'Muslim world', the homophobic, xenophobic and pro-death penalty views in Islam and et cetera - so, you decide to resort to some childish and dumb sarcastic comment.
You failed :)
"Yes, those who oppose Islam are 'ignorant bigots', not the homophobic and xenophobic followers of Islam."
The two need not be mutually exclusive. But it would be ignorant to say that all americans are bigoted because of the actions of a few in tennessee, just as it would be to say it of all who practice islam.
It is unfortunate there are no American flags to be seen in the counter-protest group on the right of the photograph. Old Glory appears to have been usurped by intolerant rednecks on the other side.
"When fascism comes to America it will be wrapped in the flag, carrying a cross" (Sinclair Lewis 1935).
The speed and volume in which Leftists run to defend one of the most out-of-touch implementations of fundamental religion in modern history is hilarious, especially when one considers their very long history of loud, proud, and in-your-face Atheism.
You know, it made sense when you flocked in droves to provide knee-jerk defenses for Marxism. At least that outlook was rooted in some mutation of Scientific Humanism. But this nonsense.... somewhere, a very powerful ad executive is cackling at his masterpiece: converting lifelong anti-religious teens into Islamic defending zealots.
I'm going to chalk such spats to yet another round of angst-laden Middle Class Westerners inflicted with lifelong Peter Pan complex who are too emotionally projective to find a worthwhile underdog to channel their altruistic desires upon.
Islam is unique in that God is part of everything, God is not seperate from anything.
thus the idea of Western government that helped to end centuries of religious persecution and religious wars, seperation of Church and State is not a belief in Islam.
If America was truly a land of freedom of religion, then Mormons would not have been persecuted/killed all the way to Utah and they would be allowed polygamy. We are already regulating religion, that is just one example, other religions, especially cults where violence, human sacrifice etc etc and such is outlawed.
if you say you want complete freedom of religion then be prepared for Pandora's box to be opened.
@SamB88 "There are around 1.5 billion muslims in the world. So, it is not a religion of 'billions', moron."
You argument, obviously, is extremely well articulated.
@SamB88: "Haha - seriously, you're such a moron."
I am sorry, are you still 15 or your GED didn't arrive yet?

The difference is that the followers of the Koran constitute 99.99% of terrorists in our times; there are Christian wackos as well, but they don't indulge in literal enacting of the murderous statements found in the Bible.
Further, those Mohammedans who don't partake in the acts of terrorism themselves celebrate their co-religionists' mass murders of infidels every time those manage to blow up a bus, a pizza parlour, an airliner, or shoot a dozen of their comrade in arms in US Military station.
This is going on everywhere in the world – in Cairo, in London, in Jakarta... why Tennessee would be an exception? That's why the good folks of the state object to building a venue for such... er... festivities.
To try to portray Islam as a non religion is crazy, it has at least as many followers as Christianity, and as such is or should be protected by the first admendment, however sharia law is not in many cases comatable with any normal western law and as such must be subordinate to the local law.
Where I have a problem is why Muslims wished to emergrate to the evil west and as such were ever allowed to enter in to our Western society.
Having seen the recent (couple of years ago) survey in the UK which showed that although the older generation of Muslims (over 40 years of age) did not in the main support the Muslim extreamists over 70% 0f those between 15 and 30 yrs old did support the extreamist aims, and although most of those were not involved it is a huge recuitment pool. Now I understand just why it is not possible for us here in the UK to rid ourselves of this potential cancer, I find it hard to understand the argument given by other countries as to why they must accept Muslim emigration, I refer to Australia, and I think the USA which as I understand it has a very small Muslim community, I don't know about the rest of you but I have as much trouble in my life as I want and I don't feel the need to go and look for more
"Arguing many of the comments posted here would be painful, tiring, extremely boring and would only validate them as being worthy of examination."
Yeah, right. What a smart way of not having to argue your views.
The only non-Islamic country where Moslems have the right to pray, build mosques, follow the personal laws dictated by Islam, get holidays for their religious events, wear attires that are consistent with the religious practice, get elected to the parliament, be movie stars, cricketers, is India.
Not sure if I want to disagree with Mr Kubrick but in terms of "any attempt to create social institutions on a false view of the nature of man is probably doomed to failure" grates a little.
Man (in the generic sense) is capable of better, or should strive for better; otherwise "let us sit upon the ground/And tell sad stories of the death of kings."

Profiles of Students in Competency-Based Programs
November 8, 2013
A new report from the Center for American Progress profiles 13 students who are enrolled in a range of competency-based degree programs at seven different institutions. Lawmakers are showing interest in competency-based education of late. In an effort to help shape policies that might emerge, the report tries to uncover commonalities between the students' experiences. It also features several policy recommendations, such as a call for standards of quality and experimentation with financial aid rules.

This article was originally published in The Essential Principles of Graphic Design by Debbie Millman.
A brand value statement is a very helpful guide for shaping a new identity. The Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia statement was a little long for my taste, so I highlighted some of the words that were most helpful to us. We paid constant attention to whether or not our design was an actual embodiment and visualization of some of the words in the statement.
Here is the original:
The handmade, the homemade, the artful, the innovative, the practical, the contemporary, and the beautiful. We are not just about lifestyle, but about essential tools for modern living. Not just about the how-to, but about the why-to. We aim to inspire the creativity that can transform homemaking into domestic arts, or a simple dinner into an occasion—filling our lives with a little more quality, a little more permanence, a little more lasting beauty. We are not just a company, but a laboratory for ideas and a community celebrating the art of the everyday.
And here is the revised version:
. . . the handmade, the homemade, the artful, the innovative, the practical, the contemporary, and the beautiful . . . a little more quality, a little more permanence, a little more lasting beauty.
There was much discussion and heated debate over whether the rebrand name should be "Martha Stewart" or "MarthaStewart." The thinking was that the lack of a word space would help transform a person's name into a corporation, but the argument against it lay in how it would be read in press releases and newspapers. One question was paramount: What was the overlying subject foremost in the minds of the consumer—the woman or the corporation?
Names maintain an aura; they can nurture tremendous power. We could never escape the high passion of a certain individual's ideas concerning Martha Stewart. Those two seemingly benign words carry a lot of emotional weight. Adding anything to MARTHA and STEWART, such as a logo emblem or some kind of abstract flourish, would have diminished it. Due to Martha's prominence in the world, and pre-eminence in her categories, we were forced to rely upon the power of her name to the exclusion of everything else—no trees, leaves, spoons, or big MS. We had to create a distinctive and proprietary way to present the words, meanwhile dodging the word space bullet, whose differing camps were quickly polarizing. I kept thinking of my favorite photograph of Martha. She is out by her barn wearing a barn jacket, and she is walking with a handmade wreath of orange, yellow and red maple leaves. The movement and color bring this image to life, and I can recall the pleasant surprise of seeing the wreath in motion, swinging actually, blurry and bright and joyful. It seemed natural to transform the Martha Stewart name into a wreath and, naturally, it was difficult to pull off.
I struggled with a condensed sans serif in Illustrator, searching for a contemporary feel, and I got the words to work beautifully in a circle. Twice. It looked great, but it said, "Martha Stewart Martha Stewart." This reminded me of the 1970s sitcom Mary Hartman Mary Hartman, which was about a dimwitted young woman with red hair in two enormous braids—and this was not the proper frame of reference. After days of finger-gnawing frustration, trying to convince myself that this wreath thing was on the right track, I attempted a pencil drawing with wide letters, the "Martha" swinging around on the tip of a circle, and the "Stewart" swinging around on the bottom. The visual reference altered immediately from a wreath to a coin. This new idea hit upon the "quality, permanence and lasting beauty" part of the equation, subtly suggesting that this public company was valuable, dependable, and bankable. After all, nothing suggests "worth" like currency and coins. The Greeks were minting coins with arcs of type around the edges as early as fourth century BC. That's what I call long-lasting!
Now that the idea consisted of carved or minted letters in a coin/wreath form, I began by hand-drawing the letters in order to get a better sense of the character and the radial stems. We began with the letterforms of Trajan, but this quickly evolved into a version of Optima due to our rigorous research. We wanted the letterforms to reproduce in miniscule applications, like buttons or tacks, which would maintain its handsomeness when shown either carved or embossed. Based on this font, we drew it repeatedly in order to grow away from a rigidity, adding an organic sense of "handmade, homemade and artful" to the letterforms themselves.
Time and again I've seen this logo criticized on design blogs due to its imperfections. My reaction is, "Yes, exactly! It is not meant to be perfect." In order to discern whether or not the letters were exactly imperfect in a correct manner, I actually carved the type into a disk of plaster. I imagined plaques that could be used in-store as disks, incised with these 13 important letters.
After reading the brand statement for the millionth time, it occurred to me that our goal as craftsmen was for this logo to be seen as equally Arts & Crafts movement (20th century: the handmade and artful) and Wedgewood (mid-18th century: lasting beauty). The circular configuration offered the idea of community—a group of 13 come together, circle-shaped, conjoined, providing energy and movement as they coalesce into something bigger than they could ever be individually.

The stately stone structure currently sits vacant on the hillside above downtown Fayetteville, but the wheels are in motion on a plan to restore and repurpose the old Fayetteville High School.
If the vision of the Town of Fayetteville is realized, the currently dilapidated building will soon be transformed into the cultural hub of the town.
"In 2007, the West Virginia University Design Team came down to do a community design project," Town Superintendent Bill Lanham explained. "One of the things that they pointed out were different assets that we have that were under utilized in the community."
The WVU Design Team asserted that one of the primary assets being ignored was the historic 1923 stone building — built by prized Italian architect and stone mason C.G. Janutolo — that formerly served as the old Fayetteville High School.
"It was at that point that we realized that (the town council) had to get some dialogue going between us and the Fayetteville Board of Education to try to obtain the building," Town Superintendent Bill Lanham said.
From 1999 to 2004, the building was purposed for storage of county school materials, but after issues with the roof arose, the building was emptied and left vacant, Lanham said.
The conversation between the Fayette County Board of Education and the Town of Fayetteville began in 2007 and continued until a negotiation was reached in 2011, relinquishing ownership to the Town for a nominal fee.
Since then, the town has been busy brainstorming and garnering support to revitalize the building and purpose it to better serve area youth and community organizations.
"The overall goal is to bring in different groups from the community and turn the building into a cultural, arts and education center," Lanham said.
"What we are trying to do is take an asset that's in our community, which boasts the historical stone architecture of C.G. Janutolo, and preserve and repurpose that architecture," Lanham said. "That's part of Fayetteville's heritage."
Janutolo also laid the stone walls flanking the entrance to Fayetteville and other structures across Fayette County and southern West Virginia, Lanham said.
This year, Lanham submitted an application to the Preservation Alliance of West Virginia requesting the building be placed on the PAWV's Endangered Properties List.
"I think that is going to be very important to help us obtain other foundation grants and other funding opportunities," Lanham said.
While the beginning phase of the project is currently being funded in part by a grant from the West Virginia Division of Culture and History and the National Park Service, Lanham explained the town is going to have to secure more donations and funding in order to see the project to completion.
Lynn Stasick, a preservationist representative of PAWV, recently performed an assessment of the property and stated that he was very impressed with the workmanship, stabilization and overall quality of the building, Lanham said.
The results of that assessment are still being determined, but the first step of renovation is already underway.
Currently, the Town is accepting bids on a roof replacement, which will be reviewed at the end of November. The construction on the roof replacement will hopefully begin in December, Lanham explained.
"That way, the building will be stabilized from the top down for the winter and we can prevent the structure from falling into further disrepair," Lanham said.
From there, the Town plans to begin work on the interior, gutting rooms and eradicating any mold or asbestos that may be present.
So far, several community-interest groups have expressed interest in occupying space in the building, including the New River Youth Symphony and Chorus, Fayetteville Arts Coalition, Fayetteville Woman's Club and CODA Mountain Academy of Music, Lanham said.
It has also been discussed that a historic museum be erected in the building to display Fayetteville relics.
Furthermore, Lanham believes that the space will be ideal for housing weekly gatherings, including after-school programs, Scout groups, a senior center and more.
"All we're asking is that the different groups help with the restoration efforts, and then they can use the space and will only be asked to contribute to utility expenses.
"The exciting this about restoring this building into a community center is that the number of possibilities is limitless," Lanham said.
