I applied linuxolator-p4.diff to CURRENT (as of about 24 hours ago).
Unfortunately the patch did not apply cleanly, so the rejected files
were replaced by appropriate p4 files. Unfortunately I still had the
same problem that I originally reported.
Over this code base, I copied what I thought were the relevant files
from p4 that provided support for (linux_)sched_getaffinity as mentined
by jkim. I had positive results with this setup! However, I also have
some odd observations:
1. Compiling using javac ends in a signal 9 even though it looks like
the program successfully completed compilation.
2. Running sample applications, e.g., demo/jfc/SwingSet2/SwingSet2.jar,
results in an empty pane, where it was expected to be populated with
controls (not sure if this is a toolkit problem); applications also core
3. Running ftpserver (java application) displays a GUI window but
terminates abruptly when the server is started (syscall epoll_create not
Everything seems to run OK with compat.linux.osrelease to 2.4.2.
Note that due to the nature of the build, it could be that some files
are not correctly synchronised, so I will wait for the next patch set.
Let me know if you would like further information or want me to try
anything else.

Galax City Council has set up a scholarship through the Galax Foundation for Excellence in Education to honor former Schools Superintendent Sam Cook, who retired in December.
The city has pledged up to $2,500 to match private donations raised throughout the community to fund a scholarship for a deserving Galax High School senior in Cook's name.
RICHMOND — A judge who found himself on the wrong side of the law twice in 2008 resigned at the end of the year.
Michael Keith Blankenship had been serving as a juvenile and domestic relations court judge in the 27th Judicial District — which includes Carroll, Grayson and Galax — when he was charged with misdemeanor crimes after two separate motor vehicle incidents last year.
HILLSVILLE –– Some came hoping to see an upset. Others may have come looking for a blowout. Everyone went home having witnessed a very good, entertaining basketball game.
Galax overcame a sluggish start, rallied into the lead before halftime and trailed by just five points with less than four minutes to go before Carroll County pulled away for a 54-44 nondistrict win in a girls' game Wednesday night.
INDEPENDENCE –– Tied at halftime, Grayson County outscored Carroll County 44-25 in the second half to take a 69-50 nondistrict boys' win Tuesday.
The Blue Devils (8-4) were led by Eric Harvey's 16 points. Steven Eller scored 15, Bubba Bowen added 10 and Preston Bowen chipped in with eight points, 10 rebounds and six steals.
Tyler Reavis hit four 3-pointers and led all scorers with 18 points for the Cavaliers (2-10).
Carroll County 11 14 9 16––50
Grayson County 12 13 18 26––69
INDEPENDENCE –– Galax and Grayson County entered Mountain Empire District play Friday as the two winningest teams in the league through the nondistrict portion of their schedules. The gap between No. 1 and No. 2 may not be as great as many might have believed.
Before a standing-room-only horde at Grayson County Middle School, the Maroon Tide and the Blue Devils entered the fourth quarter on even terms before Galax pulled away for a 66-59 win, taking a big first step in MED play.
INDEPENDENCE –– It's only one game deep into what is a very balanced, very competitive Mountain Empire District race, but for now, Galax is sitting on the top looking down.
The Maroon Tide took a good first step in district play, opening up with a 55-27 win Friday night over Grayson County to take an early lead in the MED standings. Galax improved to 5-6 overall, 1-0 in the league, while Grayson County dropped to 1-12, 0-1.
HILLSVILLE – A game that started out with so much promise turned out to be another tough loss for the Carroll County varsity boys Friday night.
The Cavaliers (2-11 overall, 1-3 district) entered the game having lost eight of their last nine games, and Friday ended no different as Tazewell (4-6, 2-1) came in and dominated them on their home court, taking a 79-61 Southwest District win.
The Cavs began the game strong, scoring 11 of the game's first 14 points.
HILLSVILLE – Carroll County remained undefeated and number one in the district following a 49-46 girls' win over Tazewell Friday night.
It wasn't easy for the Cavaliers (6-5 overall, 4-0 district), though, having to hold off a stubborn Bulldog (2-7, 1-3) team looking for only its third win in the last seven games.
The Cavs opened the game up on a mission to put the Lady Dogs away early, outscoring them 16-7 in the first eight minutes.
Editor's Note: This information is taken from open court records and is a matter of public record. The listings are complete. The newspaper, as a matter of fairness, will not honor requests to omit any listing.
Land Transfers
These land transfers were recorded Nov. 8-26 in the office of Susan M. Herrington, clerk of the Grayson County Circuit Court, Independence:
Garnett L. Rakes and Irene M. Rakes to James C. Adams and Melissa G. Adams. 13.431 acres in the Oldtown District. $260,000.
INDEPENDENCE — A site has been landed for a new regional water plant on the New River, but Virginia/Carolina Water Authority members haven't let many details flow.
Independence Town Manager Kenneth Vaught told The Gazette in an e-mail last week that "the authority passed a resolution to acquire property and a conservation easement."

Chase Hunter, Scott Baldwin
Rating : 9.6 out of 10
Tony DiAngelo pauses: I wonder if Chase Hunter takes me for granted. Every time he comes home from the gym, he talks about all the hot men working out. One in particular, Scott Baldwin. I can't bear it as my imagination runs wild. I envision my Chase taking Scott and pummeling the jock's bubble butt with his huge cock, penetrating him deep and furiously. I get a knot in the pit of my stomach as I think about Chase with another man. It makes me crazy.

At the Family History Library in Salt Lake City I will search a United States microfilm of your choice. For choices, look at the FHL catalog at: http://familysearch.org (Click on "Library Catalog").
You can expect a turnaround time of one week or less, unless there are unexpected problems.
This look-up offer is only for microfilms that have an index. The FHL catalog listing should tell if there is an index. This is usually listed under the category "NOTES" which is the third item down in the catalog listing.
This look-up offer is for one name (first and last name, for example "William Jones").
You will get 1 scanned page for $10.00. Additional pages from the same microfilm, at $5.00 per page may be requested in a "customized order".
Scanning microfilm documents is not as simple as scanning papers. There are a number of adjustments that may need to be made like straightening the page, zooming in or out, adjusting the focus, or brightness, or contrast.
Sometimes the page is bright in the center and dark in the corners. If scanned like it is, the corners are too dark to read when the center is right. If this is the case, I will provide two scanned images, one dark enough that the center can be read and the other light enough that the corners can be read.
Your scan will include the whole page. This way you will have all column headings and page numbers that appear on the page. You should be able to zoom in as needed to increase the size of the letters, using your photo editing software.
If there is no index, there are three possible situations where I will do the look-up.
1. If the listings are in alphabetical order.
2. If the listings are in date order, and you have the exact date.
3. If there are document numbers or page numbers, and you can provide that information to me, from your findings on another index.
Occasionally I have seen microfilms for which the FHL catalog listing says that the entries are in alphabetical order, but in reality only some of the sections are in alphabetical order. I will let you know if I find this to be the case on the film you have asked me to look at. This would require a customized order.
Because of copyright law, this offer is not for look-ups in published books that are on microfilm at the FHL. This offer is only for unpublished records like – court records, church records, and so on.
"Found" means the entry was found for the name in the index, which I will scan. If you wish to have a copy of the record that the index refers to, I will be happy to scan that (assuming it is available) for an additional fee of $5.00 per page. This can be requested in a "custom look-up" request. Oftentimes the customer is interested in other individuals with the same surname listed on either side of the primary individual, so there is value in having a copy of the index.
"Not found" means the person was not listed in the index. I will scan the page of the index where I would have expected to find the name. So you will get one scanned page, documenting that the name was not there.

If you revisit history, you'd know that Pop's squad the year he only won 17 games lost David Robinson and Sean Elliot to injuries. They got the first overall pick and used it to draft Tim Duncan. We all know what happened after that. Pop had already established himself in San Antonio's front office before assuming coaching duties. He's a much different case and far superior coach to Dunlap. I say winning system because those other guys all have won. And notice I didn't say Dunlap can't develop into a winner too. I just said the system he is currently using now is producing underwhelming results. He shouldn't be fired this year, won't be fired this year, and I am not in favor of him being fired this year. But this cult of personality around Dunlap that makes him immune to criticism is equally ridiculous to people calling for his head.
Show you? :cp1:
I posted stats that clearly illustrate we have awful team chemistry. We get out rebounded by a wider margin (despite not taking the least rebounds of all NBA teams, we allow opponents to take more), have the least assists, give up more assists to the other team, and have the lowest field goal percentage in the NBA. Revisit those stats you called "irrelevant" earlier. We all have seen this team play. The only consistent thing about our rotations is that Dunlap is consistently changing them. For all this talk of him being a "developmental" coach, I'd say not allowing team chemistry to develop is a pretty big problem. We don't have the best roster in the NBA, but it doesn't help when the guys still aren't used to playing with each other. Neither party should be completely blamed nor should either be free of blame. It seems like a lot of people want to give Dunlap a pass.
You've been a Bobcat fan as long as I have and a member of this board for longer. Please tell me when this fan base has not freely commented on what they are seeing on the court at any point in the season. How much leeway did we give Sam Vincent before labeling him as the incompetent crony hire that he was? (**Please note I am not comparing Vincent to Dunlap; I'm comparing the way we as a fan base were critical of them**) All my comments are based on the games I watch combined with the statistics that are clearly displayed online. It's not "silly" to be critical of a guy who treats our bench like a grab bag. You can't throw out new lineups over and over again throughout both the course of the game and the course of the season then expect compete at the level of other teams or to win games. Chemistry takes time to build and it is still something we clearly lack. Why else can other lottery teams roll over us? Yes, we do not have an all star team and are clearly not a contender. But we do have a roster full of players who are in the highest level of competition for the sport in the entire world. These guys aren't complete bums and half of them weren't even here last year. They shouldn't be the ones who take all the blame for why we are preforming at the level we are.

Bogdon's Peppermint Mini Candy Sticks: 12-Ounce Box
Pin It
Delicate peppermint hard candy sticks double-dipped in rich dark chocolate! Chocolate-coated peppermint sticks like these have been a part of American celebrations since the 1940s, when a Kansas City confectioner created them as favors for a wedding, dubbing them "reception sticks." Today, they're still crafted at the same family-owned company. Each thin, crisp pole is infused with triple-distilled oil of peppermint and enrobed in premium bittersweet chocolate. They're perfect for stirring hot chocolate, tucking into holiday stockings and decorating packages.
Stick Length:
4 Inches
Acrylic cube contains 12 ounces of wrapped Peppermint Reception Candy Sticks...that's approximately 92 candy sticks.
Made in the USA.
Shipping Weight ~ 2 lbs. Kosher Certified.

Latest On The Informant!
SO GREAT! hahaha this movie is funny! Parts of the movie are kind of slow, but trust me, keep watching and it will be well worth it. Matt Damon's character is amazing, he does such a great job!
Nothing funny here except the idea that someone thought this was funny.
The movie was interesting, but what really blew me away was one caption at the very end. After embezzling millions of dollars from ADM and serving eight years in prison, after telling one lie after another to try to save his own ass, he's made chief operating officer of Cypress Systems, Inc.
BORING!!! I'm from Decatur Illinois so I thought it might be interesting, but it was really really bad!!!!
really really not entertaining at ALL. Thank goodness I rented it at a RedBox!

Ukraine's President Viktor Yanukovych thinks Tymoshenko has made a mistake in choosing defence tactics
© president.gov.ua
Benelux foreign ministers support territorial integrity of Ukraine
Embassy of Ukraine in United States: 'Ukraine will never give in to aggression'
Far right leader Yarosh confirms intention to run for Ukrainian presidency
Klitschko: Ukraine government wants 'civilized' relations with Russia
Foreign Ministry: Russian soldiers preparing to install air defense systems in Crimea
Donetsk's self-proclaimed separatist governor talks to journalists, gets arrested
Well it's good Mr. President to hear these words come out of your mouth. But as President you are called to the greater responsibility to say "the buck stops with me, and no longer in my house". Despite the many, many wrong turns allowed under your Presidency ( not all but many) you still have a small chance at turning things around and accomplishing greatness never before seen in Ukrainian Independence to forever be recoded in history... but as your present administration or Parliament exists. Again I say to you accept nothing less than greatness from those accountable to you and to those that serve in Parliament. I mean this! Demand greatness and exceptional performance and you will be rewards with exceptional accomplishments. Stop settling for the old past status quo and old mindsets of the past. If you continue doing and allowing the same old things then you will get the same old results and you will fail. That is certain! What shall you chose... the legecy of a great President that lifted Ukraine to the level of the more advanced modern democratic European nations that have improved the lives of most all Ukrainians and the nation or will you be treated, persecuted and scorned like Yulia in a few years when your Precidency has been quickly ended? Only you can chose what path and then destiny will confirm the rest. I for one hope you take the path of true democracy and reform and transform Ukraine into the great nation that it can truly become and Ukrainians can be extremely proud of and be proud to say the name "President Yanucovich".
Mr Yanukovycheat...Eating humble pie? You are beginning to realise that corruption and fascism doesn't cut the ice in the West?If you want the Ukraine to prosper as a nation....leave along with your cronies!No doubt I would disappear if I was in your country..you have the means to silence critics.
The recent comments by Viktor Yanukovych reflect an attempt to save face and also a resignation to the fact that his Administration will not be able to bluff the EU (or other western democracies) in having the cake and eating it as well. To complicate matters further he may have very well grossly underestimated the reaction of Vladimir Putin and Co. to his attempts at "game playing" and as such he now faces an impending energy crisis, etc. To paraphrase his comment that one must be very alert when they are neighbours to a great bear would clearly indicate that he has an unreliable ally. Therefore, we have another U Turn towards the EU where concessions (although they are hard to swallow) are preferable to the Russian alternative. In short, the degree of his success to achieve an acceptable rapprochement with the EU, the IMF, and other western democracies in order to at least stall economic collapse will depend on meaningful reform and accepting a proper return to democratic values accompanied with a true respect for basic human rights.
No one who can think believes anything that Yanukovych says, and he is now probably just making noises to try to improve his party's chances in the next elections. Unfortunately, it is the Ukrainian people who will suffer from the actions of this foolish, incompetent man. He couldn't organise a booze-up in a brewery!
So, should the EU free trade agreements be ratified? I think so. The interests of ordinary people in Ukraine are paramount no matter what we think of this smiling twat. I am not Ukrainian, I am made in England, but this man truly makes me angry.
running scarred seems to me....the lying twat...will he ever

SEC Media Days Preview
Some say that college football season begins in 46 days, but for some people it begins tomorrow as around 900 media members make their way to Hoover, Alabama for SEC Media Days.
The Southeastern Conference is the nation's best conference and has won the last five BCS National Championships. With the nation's best conference, comes the biggest media days for any conference as fans and media members from around the Southeast and the nation make their journey to Hoover, Alabama.
A lot of questions will be asked, a lot of news will be made, and predictions will be made during this three-day event previewing the 2011 SEC football season. For those of you that do not know, the head coach and three players from each team will be available for the media during specified time slots.
Head coach Mark Richt, quarterback Aaron Murray, center Ben Jones, and cornerback Brandon Boykin will be the representatives from Georgia.
Below is the schedule of events for the 2011 SEC Media Days.
2:00-4:50: Arkansas and Florida
4:20-7:00: Mississippi State and South Carolina
9:30-11:20: Georgia and Kentucky
11:50-2:30: Auburn and Tennessee
9:30-12:20: Alabama and Vanderbilt
11:50-2:30: LSU and Ole Miss
Here are some storylines for the 2011 SEC Media Days.
Oversigning: During the SEC Spring Meetings, all head football coaches voted to keep the 28-signee limit. However, the presidents of the schools over-ruled that vote and limited it to 25 as a way to stop oversigning. It will be interesting to hear what coaches like Nick Saban, who is in favor of oversigning, say about it.
New head coaches: Florida head coach Will Muschamp and Vanderbilt head coach James Franklin will begin coaching in the SEC for the first time this year. How they have adapted to life in the SEC will be interesting along with what they expect during the 2011 season.
NCAA Issues: Auburn came under fire last year regarding the recruitment of quarterback Cam Newton, who singlehandedly led the Auburn Tigers to a national championship. A week ago, a NY Times report revealed a testy exchange between NCAA officials and Chizik at the SEC Spring Meetings in Destin, Fl. Chizik asked the NCAA why they have not announced that the investigation was over. The NCAA official responded by saying "You'll know when we're finished, and we're not finished." Another team facing NCAA issues is LSU with their dealings with Will Lyles (the same person that was involved with Oregon and Chip Kelly). While nothing might come out of either case, it will be interesting if Chizik or Les Miles has any response or opinion on these dealings.
Georgia running back concern: It has felt like every other week a Georgia running back has been suspended, transferred, or been ruled academically ineligible. However, many beleive that Isaiah Crowell will be the one in the spotlight even if Georgia had Caleb King and Washaun Ealey in the backfield. Head coach Mark Richt, quarterback Aaron Murray, and center Ben Jones will all be in Hoover, Alabama and it will be intersting to see how they view the running back position
Predictions: Coming out the final day of SEC Media Days will be the preseason All-SEC team along with season predictions selected by the media. I have already filled out my ballot and will post it tomorrow. Last year the media picked Alabama to win the SEC Championship, but they ended up finishing fourth in the SEC West. The SEC media has attempted to predict the SEC Champion the last 19 years, but they have only been right four times. Obviously, predictions are never perfect, but it will be interesting to see how the media stacks teams up.
Quarterback battles: Georgia sophomore quarterback Aaron Murray is the best returning quarterback in the SEC, and he is one of the few quarterbacks that doesn't have any major question marks. Arkansas will look to replace Ryan Mallet with Tyler Wilson, Auburn will try to replace Cam Newton with Barrett Trotter, and Alabama replaces Greg McElroy with AJ McCarron. LSU's position is up for grabs between senior Jordan Jefferson and transfer Zach Mettenberger. Florida will try to get better numbers out of John Bratley during his senior year with new offensive coordinator Charlie Weis.
Fans: Although around 900 media members will attend SEC Media Days, fans from around the Southeast will also make their trek to Hoover, Alabama. I have never attended SEC Media Days so I don't know what 900 media members on top of hundreds of fans look like, but it will be interesting to see.
Tomorrow unofficially begins the start of the college football season, and I will be live in Hoover, Alabama covering the event. You can follow me on Twitter @Mike Reiter for live updates from the event.

When asked whether there was any consideration for The Undertaker losing at the event, Carle said, "Yeah, we (the creative team) kind of talked about it. It was one of those things that was pitched, but it never really came to fruition."

INFORMATION: For more information on hours, general admission, and directions, please visit Ripley''s Believe It or Not Website.
IN CLOSING: As you know, our overall experience at the Ripley''s Believe it Or Not was not gratifying at all. If you like to view strange, bizarre, weird, and unusual things, then you would be very interested in the Ripley''s Believe It or Not attraction. Good luck and have fun!
From journal An Escape to Picturesque San Antonio
June 18, 2003
We did both attractions, but to tell you the truth, I really don't remember Ripley's Believe It or Not tour. The only thing that I do remember is some of the things were not intended for small children's eyes. Please take this into consideration before doing Ripley's Believe It or Not tour.
Here you will venture into a museum where you will see hundreds of lifelike wax figures come to life in several Hollywood, Horror, History, and Religion theme settings.
Some of the wax figures you will have the opportunity to meet are:
ADMISSION PRICES ADULT: - Combo: $16.95 - Single: $13.95 CHILD (AGES 4-12): - Combo: $8.95> - Single: $5.95 SEASON TICKET PRICES: - Adult: $24.95 - Child: $14.95
Overall, we had a wonderful time visiting Plaza Theatre of Wax. I wish we could say the same for Ripley's Believe It or Not. It took almost two hours to do both attractions.
For more information on both of these attractions, please visit Plaza Wax Museum's Website. Don't forget to click on the coupon for discounted tickets!!

Click on your favorite core class from Dungeons & Dragons and enter to win a prize pack filled with Neverwinter goodies -- on the D&D Facebook page. Prizes include an in-game bandana fanshion item and consumable bundle for the new Neverwinter MMO, the Neverwinter Saga on audiobook from Audible, the Legend of Drizzt board game, Neverwinter Nights, Neverwinter Nights 2 and the Neverwinter Campaign Setting book.
Be sure to read the rules prior to entering.
Adventurers, we asked you to break out those graphic design multiclass skills. Congratulations to winner Brian Morgen, and his winning design below (please note, actual character sheet will be further modified).
Dungeon Command features themed miniature factions designed to play as unified war bands, in a game eliminating luck-driven mechanics in favor of player-driven skill, creativity, and quick thinking. Each Dungeon Command faction comes in its own box, containing twelve pre-painted plastic miniatures (plus the cards, tiles, and rules for the game).
Blood of Gruumsh includes such monstrous miniatures as the orc archer, barbarian, chieftain, and the orc cleric of Gruumsh. Plus, all miniatures in this set are all new sculpts!
And now it's time to put your skill and quick thinking to the test. Wizards of the Coast has provided ten faction packs. Be one of the lucky winners to answer the following questions correctly and you just might be adding Dungeon Command: Blood of Gruumsh to your warband in no time. Good luck!
The classic board game of dungeon exploration has returned, with stunning new art! In Dungeon! you and your friends decide which way to go in the hunt for bigger and better treasure. Will you clear out the Goblins or Kobolds? Or face off against iconic D&D monsters such as the Black Pudding, Owlbear, or Purple Worm? Dungeon! creates a fast and exciting dungeon delving experience that can be played again and again.
The rules are straightforward and easy to learn so it's the perfect introduction to the world of Dungeons & Dragons, a family fantasy game night, or warm- up before your next epic game of D&D.
To celebrate the return of this iconic board game, we are giving away 10 copies of Dungeon!, autographed by the original game designer. Answer the following questions correctly and one could have your name on it, too.
Earlier this year, Wizards of the Coast announced that the next iteration of the Dungeons & Dragons tabletop roleplaying game is currently underway. As a part of this monumental undertaking, legions of fans around the world have been invited to participate in an massive, public playtest—the first of its kind for D&D—and to make gaming history as they help shape the future of Dungeons & Dragons. The "D&D Next" public playtest began in May and there's still the opportunity for even more people to get involved.
And that's where you come in.
Your Mission:
Create a video (60 seconds or less) that will get D&D fans excited about being a part of the D&D Next Playtest. How you do that is entirely up to you. You could show us an epic film of classic heroism or a claymation reenactment of critical failures. Maybe it's a recruitment video for your group or a Top Ten list of things you've learned from the playtest. Whether it's a classic D&D truism (like why you never split the party) or just an awesome/hilarious/cool episode taken straight from your imagination, show the world what they're missing.
Most importantly, have fun.
Additional information:
Remember: these videos are meant to speak to the millions of D&D fans out there. Gamers that represent every edition. Speak to them. Show them something familiar but new, fun and novel. Entertain. Excite. Surprise.
Contest entries will be posted on the D&D website and social media platforms. To ensure that your entry is eligible, see the rules.

This article relies largely or entirely upon a single source. (September 2010) |
A logo (abbr. of logotype,[1] from Greek: λόγος logos - word, idea + Greek: τύπος typos - imprint, picture) is a graphic mark or emblem commonly used by commercial enterprises, organizations and even individuals to aid and promote instant public recognition. Logos are either purely graphic (symbols/icons) or are composed of the name of the organization (a logotype or wordmark).
In the days of hot metal typesetting, a logotype was a uniquely set and arranged typeface or colophon. At the level of mass communication and in common usage a company's logo is today often synonymous with its trademark or brand.[2]
Numerous inventions and techniques have contributed to the contemporary logo, including cylinder seals (c.2300 BCE), coins (c.600 BCE),[3][4] trans-cultural diffusion of logographic languages, coats of arms,[5] watermarks,[6] silver hallmarks and the development of printing technology.
As the industrial revolution converted western societies from agrarian to industrial in the 18th and 19th centuries, photography and lithography contributed to the boom of an advertising industry that integrated typography and imagery together on the page.[7] Simultaneously, typography itself was undergoing a revolution of form and expression that expanded beyond the modest, serif typefaces used in books, to bold, ornamental typefaces used on broadsheet posters.[8]
The arts were expanding in purpose—from expression and decoration of an artistic, storytelling nature, to a differentiation of brands and products that the growing middle classes were consuming. Consultancies and trades-groups in the commercial arts were growing and organizing; by 1890 the US had 700 lithographic printing firms employing more than 8,000 people.[9] Artistic credit tended to be assigned to the lithographic company, as opposed to the individual artists who usually performed less important jobs.
Innovators in the visual arts and lithographic process—such as French printing firm Rouchon in the 1840s, Joseph Morse of New York in the 1850s, Frederick Walker of England in the 1870s, and Jules Chéret of France in the 1870s—developed an illustrative style that went beyond tonal, representational art to figurative imagery with sections of bright, flat colors.[9] Playful children's books, authoritative newspapers, and conversational periodicals developed their own visual and editorial styles for unique, expanding audiences. As printing costs decreased, literacy rates increased, and visual styles changed, the Victorian decorative arts lead to an expansion of typographic styles and methods of representing businesses.[10]
The Arts and Crafts Movement of late-19th century, partially in response to the excesses of Victorian typography, aimed to restore an honest sense of craftsmanship to the mass-produced goods of the era.[11] A renewal of interest in craftsmanship and quality also provided the artists and companies with a greater interest in credit, leading to the creation of unique logos and marks.
By the 1950s, Modernism had shed its roots as an avant-garde artistic movement in Europe to become an international, commercialized movement with adherents in the United States and elsewhere. The visual simplicity and conceptual clarity that were the hallmarks of Modernism as an artistic movement formed a powerful toolset for a new generation of graphic designers whose logos embodied Ludwig Mies van der Rohe's dictum, "Less is more." Modernist-inspired logos proved successful in the era of mass visual communication ushered in by television, improvements in printing technology, and digital innovations.
Contemporary logos[edit]
The current era of logo design began in the 1870s with the first abstract logo, the Bass red triangle. Today there are many corporations, products, brands, services, agencies and other entities using an ideogram (sign, icon) or an emblem (symbol) or a combination of sign and emblem as a logo. As a result, only a few of the thousands of ideograms people see are recognized without a name. An effective logo may consist of both an ideogram and the company name (logotype) to emphasize the name over the graphic, and employ a unique design via the use of letters, colors, and additional graphic elements.
Ideograms and symbols may be more effective than written names (logotypes), especially for logos translated into many alphabets in increasingly globalized markets. For instance, a name in the Arabic language would be of little help in most European markets. By contrast, ideograms keep the general proprietary nature of the product in both markets. In non-profit areas, the Red Cross (known also as Red Crescent in Muslim countries and Red Star of David in Israel) is an example of a well known emblem that does not need an accompanying name. The red cross and red crescent are among the best recognized symbols in the world. On their own, they signify protection of medical personnel in war time, dating back 150 years. They also signify the protection of victims of armed conflict and those who try to help them. National Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies and their Federation as well as the International Committee of the Red Cross include these symbols in their logos.
Branding aims to facilitate cross-language marketing. The Coca-Cola logo can be identified in any language because of its standard color and well known "ribbon wave" design.
Logo design[edit]
Logo design is an important area of graphic design, and one of the most difficult to perfect. The logo (ideogram) is the image embodying an organization. Because logos are meant to represent companies' brands or corporate identities and foster their immediate customer recognition, it is counterproductive to frequently redesign logos.
The logo design profession has substantially increased in numbers over the years since the rise of the Modernist movement in the United States in the 1950s.[12] Three designers are widely[13] considered the pioneers of that movement and of logo and corporate identity design: The first is Chermayeff & Geismar,[14] which is the firm responsible for a large number of iconic logos, such as Chase Bank (1964), Mobil Oil (1965), PBS (1984), NBC (1986), National Geographic (2003) and others. Due to the simplicity and boldness of their designs, many of their earlier logos are still in use today. The firm recently designed logos for the Library of Congress and the fashion brand Armani Exchange. Another pioneer of corporate identity design is Paul Rand,[15] who was one of the originators of the Swiss Style of graphic design. He designed many posters and corporate identities, including the famous logos for IBM, UPS, and ABC. The third pioneer of corporate identity design is Saul Bass.[16] Bass was responsible for several recognizable logos in North America, including both the Bell Telephone logo (1969) and successor AT&T Corporation globe (1983). Other well-known designs were Continental Airlines (1968), Dixie (1969), and United Way (1972). Later, he would produce logos for a number of Japanese companies as well. Charmayeff, Rand and Bass all died in 1996.
Logo color[edit]
Color is a key element in logo design and plays an important role in brand differentiation. The importance of color in this context is due to the mechanics of human visual perception wherein color and contrast play critical roles in visual detail detection. In addition, we tend to acquire various color connotations and color associations through social and cultural conditioning, and these play a role in how we decipher and evaluate logo color. While color is considered important to brand recognition and logo design, it shouldn't conflict with logo functionality, and it needs to be remembered that color connotations and associations are not consistent across all social and cultural groups. For example, in the United States, red, white, and blue are often used in logos for companies that want to project patriotic feelings but other countries will have different sets of colors that evoke national pride. Similarly, diverse industry sectors tend to favour different color palettes: strong, saturated colors are favoured in the fast food industry and less saturated, more sombre colors in the banking and insurance sectors.
Choosing an organisation's logo's color is an important decision because of its long term implications and its role in creating differentiation among competitors' logos. A methodology for identifying potential logo colors within an industry sector is color mapping, whereby existing logo colors are systematically identified, mapped and evaluated (O'Connor, 2011).[17]
Some companies tend to use the RGB colors in their logos, the most notable example is the usage of the RGB colors on the logo of Philippine TV network ABS-CBN.[citation needed]
Logo design process[edit]
Designing a good logo may require involvement from the marketing team and the design agency (if the process is outsourced), or graphic design contest platform (if it crowdsourced). It requires a clear idea about the concept and values of the brand as well as understanding of the consumer or target group. Broad steps in the logo design process might be formulating the concept, doing an initial design, finalizing the logo concept, deciding the theme colours and format involved.
Dynamic logos[edit]
In 1898 the French tire manufacturer Michelin introduced the Michelin Man, a cartoon figure presented in many different contexts, such as eating, drinking and playing sports. By the early 21st century, large corporations such as MTV, Google, Morton Salt and Saks Fifth Avenue had adopted dynamic logos that change over time from setting to setting.[18]
Internet-compatible logos[edit]
A company that use logotypes (wordmarks) may desire a logo that matches the firm's Internet address. For short logotypes consisting of two or three characters, multiple companies are found to employ the same letters. A "CA" logo, for example, is used by the French Bank Credit Agricole, the Dutch Clothing Retailer C&A and the US Software Corporation CA Technologies, but only one can have the internet domain name CA.com.
In today's digital interface adaptive world, a logo will be formatted and re-formatted from large monitors to small handheld devices. With the constant size change and re-formatting, logo designers are shifting to a more bold and simple approach, with heavy lines and shapes, and solid colors. This reduces the confusion when mingled with other logos in tight spaces and when scaled between media. Social networks like Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn are examples of companies using such logos.
Design protection[edit]
Logos and their design may be protected by copyright, via various intellectual property organisations worldwide which make available application procedures to register a design to give it protection at law. For example in the UK, the Intellectual Property Office (United Kingdom)[19] govern registered designs, patents and trademarks. Ordinarily the trademark registration will not 'make claim' to colours used, meaning it is the visual design that will be protected, even if it is reproduced in a variety of other colours or backgrounds.
For many teams, a logo is an important way to recognize a team's history and can intimidate opponents. For certain teams, the logo and colour scheme are synonymous with the team's players. For example, Chelsea, Manchester Utd, the Toronto Maple Leafs, Cleveland Indians, or New York Yankees all have a recognizable logos that can be identified by any fan of the respective sport.

About this blog FLEFF Intern VoicesThe Finger Lakes Environmental Film Festival from the interns' point of view |
Tuesday, March 19, 2013
The closer we get to FLEFF, the more excited I get! It also helps that more and more events are being announced everyday. It's exciting to guess what new films and guests will be at FLEFF, and what new experiences this year's FLEFF will offer.
I already posted about the Cinemapolis FLEFF films I can't wait to see, but the FLEFF on-campus schedule was released earlier this week and I am totally stoked about the slate of events! They all are going to be amazing, but here are three that I'm incredibly excited to partake in:
1. Lecture: Food Sovereignty and the Global Hunger Games
Okay, so it's not the story with Katniss Everdeen, but this lecture by Dr. Phil McMichael is centered on an interesting topic that everyone can relate to. "Food sovereignty" refers to the right of peoples to create, define, and reform their own food systems, but with our culture's method of food production, it is difficult to share that power with the whole of the populace. Personally, I'm really excited to learn more about this topic - as well as my place within the global system - so I'm definitely not missing this one.
This lecture will be held on Monday, April 1st at 7 PM. Location TBD.
2. Workshop: Transmedia
FLEFF is a front-runner in regards to new media, so what better place to learn about the importance of transmedia and how this affects the future of the industry? This workshop will be facilitated by Ann Michel and Phil Wilde, the principals of the award-winning production firm Insights International, and led by artist Elizabeth Miller and researcher/professor Evan Meany. Based on Miller and Meany's work in the new media field, I'm sure they both will have fantastic insight into this new and rising field.
This workshop will be held on Wednesday, April 3 at 6:50 PM in Room 111 of the Park Business School.
3. Film: The Other Side of the Water
This film follows a group of immigrants as they reinvent traditional Haitian music (known as "rara")for the streets of Brooklyn, their new home. It's a powerful mix of narrative of music that is unique to this documentary - it's definitely a film to see if you're interested in either artform. "The Other Side of the Water" also does a fantastic job portraying the Diaspora community in the New York area, making it both educational and entertaining.
This film will be screened on Tuesday, April 2nd at 1:10 PM in Room 281 of the Park School of Communications.
Be sure to check out the schedule on the homepage of the FLEFF website! What events are you excited for?

Blog posting written by Isabel Galupo, Cinema and Photography '14, FLEFF Intern, Towson, MD
Every Wednesday night, the staff of FLEFF interns are instructed by Ann Michel and Phillip Wilde, co-directors of the production company Insights International. In this class, Ann and Phil guide us on how to market FLEFF to the Ithaca community, how to engage with festival guests and artists, and how to think about the business of film festivals in creative and innovative ways.
I had the opportunity to sit down with Ann after class last week and learn about her experience as a media professional, her paradoxical interests in mathematics and filmmaking, and her thoughts on live performances in FLEFF:
On her work for Insights International and her March 27th "Workshop on 100 Films about Water:"
"Insights produces social issue and science films...[the films at the workshop] are very short, bite size science...we're hoping with our filmmaking skills to bring people into the science fold that haven't really been in it before."
On the influence of math in her work as a filmmaker:
"Mathematics is a very concise language...the shortest sentence in the world is e = mc2. In 5 letters, you have described the universe. Good filmmaking, in my opinion, can also be concise."
On what makes FLEFF a unique experience:
"FLEFF always tries to do outside of traditional film screening events...watching a movie is not a big deal, so to get people out of their houses and into a theater...you have to add value to the experience, and one way to do that is to have performers...so that it becomes a more theatrical event."
Be sure to attend the "Workshop of 100 Films about Water," hosted by producers/directors Ann Michel and Phillip Wilde on Tuesday, March 27th in Park 279 from 2:35 - 3:50 P.M. Ann and Phil will be presenting segments of films that deal with the science and politics of water.

Blog post written by Sarah Lockwood, Cinema & Photography '15, FLEFF Intern, Blairstown, NJ
As a FLEFF Intern for the 2012 season, I have had the pleasure of attending class weekly with two brilliant and inspiring internship coordinators - one of whom is Philip Wilde. Phil was kind enough to spend an extra ten minutes of his evening discussing his background in film, his involvement in FLEFF, and some advice for festival goers this year:
On His Journey to Video
Phil began his college career as a science major at Cornell University, here in Ithaca, NY. However, his true calling began in 1971, the year in which he first picked up a video camera, and "never looked back." Phil operates a production company with his wife - and fellow internship coordinator - Ann Michel. Together they create videos, mostly scientific in nature.
On His Involvement With FLEFF
Seven years ago Phil joined the FLEFF staff, due mostly to his good friend Dr. Patricia Zimmerman, co-director of the film festival. Also based in Ithaca, Dr. Zimmerman knew of Phil and his interest in all subjects technical theatre and video related, and asked him to join the process of running the festival.
Over the years, Phil noted that the most noticeable change in the festival is that it has become "more intellectual", a noticeable evaluation of film and the film environment.
On the Perks of FLEFF
To put it simply, the "excitement of possibilities", that "anything is possible". FLEFF is not limited by the academic world or the real world - it is a place to "make experiments", and revel in the results (in successes and mistakes).
Phil's Advice
"Go to everything you can possibly go to. Talk to everyone you can possibly talk to."
Plain and simple, a film festival is about involvement and communication. Equal interaction with all people present at a festival - interns, directors, guests, crew members, audience members - is crucial.
And most importantly - "Don't talk too much, listen."

Blog posting written by Chloe Wilson, Television-Radio '14, FLEFF Intern, Ashland, Massachusetts.
Hey FLEFFers!
So I'm going to liveblog a FLEFF session that is for the interns, but I figured all you interested FLEFFers will get a kick out of this info too. This session is focused on The Concert for Microtopias and is hosted by two of the musicians performing in the concert.
Here goes!
6:58 PM- Patty Zimmerman (FLEFF Festival Coordinator and Ithaca College professor) is introducing "The Concert for Microtopias" and it sounds fantastic! Turns out we're using the Whelan School of Music for a concert location.
6:59 PM- Ann and Phil get a shout-out from Patty! #Awesome
7:01 PM- The actresses involved in the performance are loving the microtopia theme! The concert has been commissioned by FLEFF and is free!
7:05 PM- Patty Zimmerman is introducing pianist Debbie Martin and baritone Brad Hougham.
7:07 PM- Brad has the floor! (He loves FLEFF because he gets to pick what he sings.)
7:09 PM- Debbie says that she loves working with dead people (musicians, I hope/am pretty sure of). Debbie shares a story about a man and his fabric collection (and Brad bought the guy's house and it's full of fabric) and his fabric room.
7:11 PM- Debbie: "We thought we'd start off my choosing some of our favorite things to play. Different things that make you happy or inspired or feeling feelings at the most extreme levels. That's what you'll find here. You'll find everything from different countries to different takes on spiritual things to ethnic things. Old, old-old music, new music, it's really a lot of different things."
7:14 PM- Debbie made us stand up and clap/dance along to music! It was hard to liveblog...
7:15 PM- Brad is playing us a German song with lyrics from a sacred text. As somebody who has sung in German, it's really hard! Gotta give the singer props.
7:16 PM- Recording isn't working... bummer.
7:17 PM- FLEFF Team Leader springs into action! She saves the day!
7:18 PM- Discovering a love for German opera right now.
7:20 PM- The title of the song (when translated) is "I Have Enough," as it "I have enough knowing that I'll go to heaven." What a great aria! (Guess my older brother's interest in Gilbert and Sullivan is rubbing off on me! Even though this particular opera is from Bach...)
7:21 PM- Brad gets to sing this piece? He mus be so excited! (He is. He also just said so.)
7:24 PM- Debbie is playing the piano for us. It's such a soft melody. Makes me wish I was that talented...
7:27 PM- Brad is playing a recording of the piece that Debbie just played. The soprano is amazing and its such a soft lullaby!
7:30 PM- This soft opera lullaby is going to be followed up by Maurice Ravel's "Pavane pour une infante defunte." I recognize this! (I used to study at the New England Conservatory. It was all music all the time!)
7:34 PM- Debbie says that the challenge will be to take these orchestral pieces and adapt them fully to piano. It's going to be hard to adapt harp for two pianos!
7:35 PM- Next on the program?! "Wade in the Water!!!!" I'm so excited! I performed to this in high school and am obsessed with this song.
7:36 PM- Listening to Big Mama Thornton's cover!
7:38 PM- I always get chills listening to this song! This cover is by the African American Choral Ensemble. Loving the alto line in this!
7:40 PM- Brad says that microtopias occur all over the IC campus... when professors teach in their classroom, in organizations, etc.
7:42 PM- From Debbie: The word "tarantella" comes from "tarantula." Ew...
7:43 PM- Listening to "Anytime" by William Finn.
7:45 PM- Somebody is asking a great question about how to collaborate over long distances! Brad is saying that they owe a lot to Patty and that she helps bring everyone together.
7:47 PM- Debbie is going to Berlin to practice with her fellow pianist! I'm jealous, it's such a beautiful city and there's so much history.
7:50 PM- Debbie: "If you really sit and think about it... these small moments of every aspect of who we are and what we are and it's fragmented and yet it can come together... That's what we're aiming for. This should be a new experience! Something that you don't do all the time."
7:51 PM- Brad: "I feel that FLEFF has opened my boundaries greatly... Just knowing that this is Ithaca, it's a really tremendous and wonderful safe place where you can expand yourself as an artist."
7:52 PM- Brad: "I love music and I love pushing the limit. I love having the music speak to people."
7:55 PM- Art Jones is the VJ for the concert! According to Patty, he has never worked with classical musicians. This will be a cool experience for everyone!
8:00 PM- Brad: "It's interesting to wonder what brings people to the concert. I think it's great that people are there because of music and their appreciation and love of music. I think that having a response is also really important. Not applause at the end, it's about the sense of something being given and something being received."
8:03 PM- And that's a wrap! Brava! Thank you! Encore! Many other words to express the thanks of the FLEFF interns.
What music would you want to hear at a FLEFF concert? What if it could be anything (Britney Spears, Sutton Foster, Jarhand... literally, anyone!)? Sound off below!

I have not been to any church in a very long time. I do believe a higher power is out there and believe that it exists in everything and everywhere. I believe that all religions and beliefs have a reason and purpose, for we all find that spirituality one way or other. I believe that in our hearts, the beauty of the universe, in the songs we hear and each other we know that higher power does exist. We just have to be open for the experience when it does happen.
