Birthright, which has brought 350,000 young people to Israel over its 15 years, could hold the key to understanding the debate over how to interpret the data on young Jews' alienation from Israel. Supporters of the program view it as a game changer whose impact has yet to fully show up in the communal statistics.
"Everything we see in this age group indicates growing attachment to Israel, and this is mainly because of the opportunity to visit Israel," Saxe said. Programs like Birthright and Masa Israel Journey are the reason, he explained, that attachment to Israel is slightly higher among young Jews in their 20s compared with those in their 30s, who have fewer opportunities to participate in the Israel trips. Sasson believes that Birthright has led to many young Jews' "over-engagement" with Israel, which can "offset some of the loss of engagement among intermarried families."
But the available data suggest a more complicated story on the real impact of Birthright. According to the recent analysis, alienation toward Israel among those who never visited Israel hovers around the 20% marker. This figure drops only slightly among young American Jews who have visited once. A real decline in alienation is seen only after a second trip to Israel, or after living there for a while.
Also, while researchers agree that intermarriage is the leading indicator for alienation from Israel, political views still play a role. The data analysis shows a steady increase in negative feelings toward Israel that correlates with the spectrum of conservative to liberal views. The alienation rate among the self-described "very conservative" is less than 1%, while among the "very liberal" it reaches 21.6%.
In 2010, columnist and author Peter Beinart rocked the communal world with an article and subsequent book suggesting that young Americans are alienated by policies of the Israeli government and that their liberal viewpoint is a key reason for detachment from the Jewish state. Cohen responded in an article claiming that it was intermarriage, not liberalism, that is driving young American Jews away from Israel. Now, he says, the data shows that both factors explain the drift.
"Beinart was ahead of his time," Cohen said. Cohen stressed, however, that the numbers still show intermarriage is more significant than politics in driving young Americans away from Israel.

About GHRI Ratings
XGood Housekeeping Research Institute (GHRI) ratings are based on laboratory tests conducted by our scientists at the U.S.'s foremost consumer products evaluation laboratory, and incorporate consumer feedback. GHRI is situated on the 29th floor of the Hearst Tower in New York City and is staffed by chemists, engineers, nutritionists, textile specialists, culinary experts, and other scientists.
Using state-of-the-art equipment, GHRI experts test consumer products — from microwaves to mascaras — for their performance, safety, and, with the help of volunteer testers, ease of use.
Established in 1900, before there was a Federal Drug Administration or a Federal Trade Commission, GHRI has always been the most trusted source consumers can rely on to choose products that are safe and effective.
The Sprint Navigation menus were by far the easiest to use of the three providers. Powered by the same GPS specialists (TeleNav) as the AT&T service, Sprint Navigation delivered the same directions (slightly off on the exact destination spot, but within a reasonable distance). You can enter your address by using the keypad, by typing it online, or by voice — the latter works like a voice call and uses cell phone minutes. The service also has two ways to track down points of interest (by name or category, including specialized locations like parking lots and Wi-Fi hotspots) and lets you read reviews of certain businesses, like restaurants or hotels. Sprint Navigation also provides traffic updates, gas prices, and 3D maps. sprint.com/navigation.

MINNEAPOLIS - As a paramedic, Peter Carlson is used to racing to people's homes. But on his way to see 86-year-old Erika Bruvelis earlier this month, he stopped for coffee and parked outside her Minneapolis house for several minutes - reluctant to arrive too early.
In this case, no one called 911, and with any luck, no one would go to the hospital.
Carlson, 28, is one in the first wave of "community paramedics" in Minnesota and the nation. Instead of responding to emergencies, his job is to try to prevent them.
JEMS on Community Paramedicine:
Collaboration Will Be Key in Community Paramedic Success (Williams)
Argument Against Setting Standards & Rules for Community Paramedic Programs (Kirkwood)
Community Paramedics Expand Health-Care Access (Doyle)
Since October, Carlson has been paying house calls on dozens of patients as part of an innovative program to keep the frail and elderly out of the emergency room. Depending on what they need, he might do a blood test, call Meals on Wheels or help arrange for a wheelchair ramp.
In the last two years, Minnesota has become the epicenter of the community paramedic movement, which advocates say could save a fortune in health-care costs if it helps patients stay out of the hospital.
In 2011, the nation's first training program opened at Hennepin Technical College and Minnesota became the first state to adopt a formal certification program. The first graduates, including Carlson, were certified last summer.
"We are kind of inventing this," admits Carlson, one of nine community paramedics for North Memorial Medical Center in Robbinsdale, Minn.
Carlson dropped his oversized backpack on the bed and greeted his patient.
"How are you feeling?" he said, raising his voice so she could hear him.
Bruvelis put on a game face. "Feeling OK today," she said softly. But she clearly was not.
"Today is kind of a low-energy day," explained her 44-yearold son, Paul Bruvelis. For the last three weeks, he said, his mother had been too weak to leave the second-floor bedroom of her century-old house. Normally she's a "very independent woman," he said.
When he called her doctor's office several weeks back, a nurse suggested sending a community paramedic to check on her. "I'd never really heard of it," Paul Bruvelis said, but he was grateful - he dreaded having to take his mother to the clinic in this condition. Carlson unzipped his backpack and took out a stethoscope and blood pressure cuff, and a couple of kits for blood and urine samples. "Are you dizzy?" he asked. She nodded. "What's going to make you feel better?" he said. "That is a good question," she replied. Carlson suspected a urinary tract infection, but he would have to send the samples to the lab for testing, just to be sure. There's no calling 911 for a community paramedic. Visits are set by a doctor or clinic. "The doctors really see the paramedic as an extension of their eyes and ears," said Dr. Mark Bixby, medical director for North Memorial's 12 primary care clinics.
Bixby said paramedics can be especially helpful when patients have chronic illness. As a doctor, he said, he might wonder why a patient with diabetes is having trouble controlling his blood sugar. By going into their home, the community paramedic may spot the trouble: The patient didn't fill a prescription. Or the refrigerator is empty. "They can figure out stuff that you can't from an office."
Not all patients like the idea, Bixby said. "People are private," he said, and some "see this as an intrusion." But already, there's evidence it's kept numerous patients out of the emergency room.
Carlson sees himself as a troubleshooter and he's armed with a long list of social services to refer to patients who need extra help.
"We don't look to be in somebody's life for a long time," he said. "I don't like the idea of forming dependency. We like to get in, figure out what needs to be done, and 'See you later.'"
For now, there's no charge for his visit - North Memorial is covering the cost for patients at its own clinics. They expect insurers to cover it eventually.
For Bruvelis, the visit paid off quickly: Lab tests later that day confirmed she had a bladder infection, and she got antibiotics.

I have just ordered my third jar of this body cream. I absolutely love it. The texture is fluffy, moisturizing and absorbs in well. I love patchouli but most people do not because it can be overpowering. This scent is fresh and sweet with a hint of patchouli that blends well with the sweet orange. The patchouli lingers subtly and after applying in the morning, I can still smell it at the end of the day. I layer with the mist and this has become the scent that I wear every day.
This body cream is wonderful! I bought it on sale for $6 in order to help my dry skin combat the cold, drying Michigan air, and I couldn't be more impressed. It is non-greasy and absorbs well into my skin, plus a little bit goes a long way. The smell is absolutely terrific and true to it's name; it smells exactly like a freshly peeled orange. I was worried that the patchouli scent would be overpowering, but instead it was rather subdued and complimented the citrus smell wonderfully. Overall, this is a great body cream that helped sooth my uncomfortable, dry skin.
3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
When you open the container, it's like opening a tub of orange-flavored whipped cream! It's light and fluffy, and yummy smelling, just like a fresh orange. You do smell a tiny bit of the patchouli, but it integrates fabulously with the orange scent. This is absolutely delightful, mositurizing but not greasy in the least, and the scent lasts quite a bit. It contains all natural oils *no petrolatum* which is very important to me. Can't say enough good things about this product! I got mine at Vitacost.com for some $6.99. This review is for the body cream, but I've got the massage cream in the same scent up for swap if anyone's interested (that one has a milder/lighter scent).

Rogers, MN Chimney Cleaning & Sweeping
The certified chimney technicians at 2nd Generation Chimneys always provide our customers with reliable and efficient service. When we sweep your chimney, we also perform a preliminary inspection to check the overall condition of your chimney. We can also make any needed minor repairs and give you recommendations for restorations. We offer the most comprehensive chimney services in Rogers, MN. Call us today to set up an appointment.
Rogers, MN Chimney Flue Cleaning
A clean chimney flue improves ventilation, increases efficiency, and ensures your safety. Creosote deposits can build up inside the flue of a wood burning appliance, and this can be a fire hazard and become corrosive over time. Animal nests and large pieces of debris can also clog your chimney flue and create a number of problems. Having the right flue liners will help prevent ventilation issues, but it is important to have your flue cleaned once a year to remove anything that might be clogging the flue. We also install chimney caps and animal screens to keep wildlife and rain out of your flue. The technicians at 2nd Generation will check for cracks or large gaps in the liner. Traditionally, flue liners were made with clay or tile, and these commonly create problems because of cracking over time. Even if you have a furnace or gas logs, you should still have a professional clean your flue annually.
Rogers, MN Animal Removal
The chimney technicians at 2nd Generation are prepared to remove animals and their nests from your chimney. We can also install preventative measures such as mesh screens for your chimney and roof vents. When animals get into your chimney system, they also have access to your crawlspaces and walls. Small rodents can chew through insulation and wires creating expensive damages. Don't let animals get trapped inside your chimney; call 2nd Generation today to have your chimney cleaned and inspected.
Rogers, MN Fireplace Cleaning
Our technicians are qualified to clean all types of fireplaces, whether your Rogers, MN home has a traditional masonry fireplace or a prefabricated fireplace. Factory–built fireplaces typically come with a special chimney designed to work with that fireplace model, and the techs at 2nd Generation are trained to clean and inspect all makes and models of prefab fireplaces. After we clean out the ash and scrub the firebox, we will examine the inside of your fireplace to make sure there are no imperfections. It's important to have your gas logs and inserts cleaned as well. You should only hire a professional chimney sweep to clean gas–fired appliances since there's a potential of carbon monoxide intrusion when working with gas.
Rogers, MN Woodstove & Pellet Stove Cleaning
Regular cleanings and inspections for your wood burning or pellet stove are essential for safety reasons. Dangerous creosote buildup can eventually corrode the inside your flue, or it can cause a chimney fire. Even though pellet stoves burn cleaner fuel, they still need to be maintained and cleaned. The technicians at 2nd Generation will also check all the parts of the arm and hopper. Call us any time to set up an appointment for your wood or pellet stove cleaning.
Rogers, MN Chimney Cleaning Company
You can count on us to provide thorough chimney cleanings for the heating system in your Rogers, MN home, no matter what type of fuel you use. Remember that your furnace or boiler may also be vented through your chimney, which will also need regular checkups. We also provide comprehensive inspections, so call 2nd Generation for all your chimney needs.

@GreenWeaver - I do think that wedding gifts for a second marriage wedding is fine. I disagree with the notion that a second baby shower should not be held. I had a baby shower for my daughter that was given by a friend and I was also given a second baby shower when I was expecting my son from a coworker.
Both offered to give the shower and I did not solicit anyone to do this. They really wanted to do this and it was a lot of fun. I think that it depends on the circumstances. For example, I don't think that a member of the family should give the shower. It is probably better for a family friend to give the shower instead.

DescriptionAfter shooting an episode of Chasing History's Monsters at a dig in Australia, Annja Creed is left feeling mildly unimpressed. The artifacts being uncovered are considered fringe by experts who doubt their authenticity. Annja is disappointed by the general lack of mystery involved. But her boredom is quickly replaced with fear when all that's left of her cameraman is a drop of blood on his hotel-room carpet. As she looks for her friend, Annja narrowly escapes an attack by gunmen. She realizes her cameraman must have captured the image of something so valuable that someone would kill them for just having dared look at it. When it becomes clear that everyone on the dig is at risk, Annja begins to think they're in danger not because of what they saw, but who...

Europe and Asia will be getting a new phone called the "Smart" by HTC. The phone will run on Qualcomm's BREW platform, a cheaper and hopefully "smarter" alternative for the consumer.
The Smart BREW is skinned with HTC's Sense interface. It's processor speed is 300MHz, and with 256MB RAM we can expect it to be a lower budget device from the HTC camp. Internal memory is only 256MB too, but expansion through microSD is your savior. A 2.8-inch touchscreen QVGA display is your best friend, link to the internet wtih HDSPA, devices with Bluetooth, GPS and WiFi are lacking. There's also a 3.0 megapixel camera with flash.
Source HTC
nice phone, i'm satisfied. nothing fancy, just what I need – email, browser, youtube support and your basic phone features.
HTC Smart is the worst phone. The battery back up is horrible. I have to recharge the battery 3 times in a day. I charged it at 11 pm and went to sleep. The phone was idle. In the morning I was astonished to see that the battery is 80% exhausted. Moreover the OS is too much slow and irritating. Never buy such a defective phone.

European industry participants develop common standards to restore post trade transparency
European industry participants, in the framework of the industry project called Market Model Typology (MMT), have released the official MMT 1.0 mapping issue. This significant milestone provides a strategic bridge to implementing European equity post trade standards in order to enhance market transparency. The key benefits of the MMT are to: enable investors to accurately monitor market events by standardizing how these events are identified across a fragmented market for the first time since the introduction of MiFID and it offers a practical solution ahead of MiFID II.

^o^ we should celebrate your living through PE by me ditching Art class (the day we start an important, class spanding assignment) and go do something fun!
...PE always kills me on a Tuesday - because on Tuesdays, we do A LOT OF RUNNING!
And sadly, being a one-time sprinter: Running isn't my strong suit if held up for a long time.
I usually die on Tuesdays. Because of this, I've developed a dread for Tuesday mornings. I believe this is the first time I've ever been frightened to go to a class.
I don't mean die as in my muscles hurt like hell: They do, but that's not that scary.
It's the whole "heart dying" thing.
For some reason, despite the fact I breathe normally and can take a muscular strain beating - my heart just can't take long distance running.
It never could. It still can't. And I'm not sure if it ever will.
After a good amount of time of running, my heart goes into a "sleep zone".
The heart rate slows down despite my breathing being constant.
While I am calm at this sleep zone, when more than 3 minutes pass during sleep zone - my heart rate skyrockets to catch up with my current action.
One of two things happen at this point:
A) If I slow down, the heartbeat slows down, but become MUCH HARDER. It feels like it's trying to pound out of my chest. My body feels like it's gonna' blow and I feel like I'm going to faint: But I never faint, so the pain's constant. X_X
B) If I keep up the pace/speed up, the heartbeat speeds up incredibly. My body has a sharp feeling all over and it feels like I'm going to have a heart-attack. If I don't slow down anytime soon, I'm going to have that "incident" again.... that incident being: when I was in highschool and part of the track&field class, during one of our training sessions, I pushed myself beyond my limits (I did that often. But not as much as I did this day) - my heart was off the charts and I felt like dying - but I pushed on. ... instantly, my body flexed all its muscles and crashed... I fell to the ground, feeling nothing but my heart going to explode. It was quite humbling to be on the ground, curled up, feeling like I just couldn't push it anymore.
...ever since then, I haven't pushed my body out of its limits, keeping it in check. *sigh*
So yeah. You can see why I hate Tuesdays.
I can't really slow down too much though, as I'll fall behind the class. And I can't let myself do that... I'm not slow, I just can't go long distances! I have a pride in my speed, so I'm not going to give up that easily.
Thankfully today we had several muscle-exercises between our runnings.
The running was awful, but thanks to the muscle-exercises, it gave my heart a break. Sure my muscles hurt like heck, but I feel alive and happy that I was able to rest between our runnings.
^_^ This is my kind of exercise: Semi-long (-to short) distance runnings + Exercises.
Keeps me fit while making sure I don't die.
I don't die. <--- that's pretty important for my health
^o^ we should celebrate your living through PE by me ditching Art class (the day we start an important, class spanding assignment) and go do something fun!
Don't get used to ditching class hun.
I didn't ditch class today, so don't get the habit.
Deal? Deal.
Whatcha' wanna' do? See a movie?
well... now (or actually have been) feeling bad, but already promised you so we should run with it!
what's out right now?
*goes to check movies*
Oh don't feel bad. Didn't the mid-term already pass?
Or is it coming up?
Either way, your absent-ness is going to reset by the time the mid-term passes.
So it won't be too bad as long as you keep up with your assignments.
... I just feel bad though: As much as you hate the idea of my class, I know you'll LOVE MY TEACHER.
My teacher's awesome. ... He's just tough.
i know! and it's the toughness that makes him so loveable!
the only thing out @ AMC (since we still have free tickets) that we'd probably want to see is monsters versus aliens... nothing much else is out that applies to us~
........ hmmmm... we could just go to glendale and get Mr. K's mangas and just hang out.
^o^ that sounds good too~

The same source that leaked images of what might be the Samsung Galaxy S 4 has now followed up with video of the device. The uploader is calling it the world's first hands-on with the Galaxy S 4, i9502 China Unicom Version.
Very much like the leaked images, there really is no way of telling if this is indeed what Samsung will be showing off in its March 14 unveiling. It is indeed a real device that match the spec leaks to the dot, but there is still the possibility of it being a hoax or even a fake that Samsung is intentionally letting loose. Check it out:
What makes it even more interesting is the fact that Samsung has posted a new teaser image on its official Twitter account, and from the little bit of the device that we can see, it certainly looks similar to that of the one shown in the video.
You could also say that it looks similar to the GS III, which it does. Vlad Savov of The Verge tweeted a little comparison and it lines up perfectly with Samsung's Galaxy S III:
Samsung is either teasing the GS4 with an image of the GS III or the design has been left unchanged twitter.com/vladsavov/stat…
— Vlad Savov (@vladsavov) March 12, 2013
Is Samsung copying Apple yet again and are we looking at a Galaxy S 3 S? Could this be a fake designed to keep us off the actual design that will be totally different? Or has Samsung simply decided to continue with what has been working for them so far? Only two more days and we'll find out.

As a Samsung Galaxy S III uer,if you have some DVDs at hand, you may visit dvd to Samsung Galaxy s III
As a new member of the T-Mobile telesales team, I have been watching the developments of the GS4 and find any further expansion of features somewhat akin to building a fighter jet so fast and agile that it kills the pilot who flies it. Screen resolution is finer than the eye can discern, dual-quad processors churn away faster than any data transfer reasonably needs to run for a mobile device and finally, at an estimated $750/copy price tag who would pay it? The Nexus4 is right sized and half the cost. A Kindle Fire HD has a bigger screen and is even less. Yes, the fad buyers will eat noodles til August to get one. I'll wait and see how this plays out. Thanks for the updates…..keep them comming.
Alice Stewart
I don't think so that there is much resemblance between these two.I found this product the coolest of all the Samsung's model. Design and resolution looks awesome and I think people will definitely like this gadget.
I would be more excited if SG S4 physical design would somehow pattern from the SG S2. To me, SG S2 is aesthetically and perfectly designed. Beautiful and elegant.
[@Ashraf] You said it! It would also be really lame if all this hype and teasing was for a spec bump.
Still, there's still a chance that Samsung is saving the surprise for the event. And maybe, like they've said, it will truly be more about the software this time.

McClatchy-Tribune News
TOPEKA -- Kansas lawmakers late Sunday narrowly passed a school finance bill that ties reforms championed by conservatives to fixing a spending gap between rich and poor schools.
The House and Senate passed a bill that spends $126 million to bridge wealth-based disparities in the school funding formula, strips teachers of due process rights and promotes school choice. The bill now goes to the governor to sign.
The education bill was a response to a state Supreme Court ruling that funding disparities between rich and poor schools violated the state constitution. The court ordered the state to fix the gap by July or risk having judges fashion a solution.
"The school finance bill passed by the Legislature today fully complies with and, indeed, exceeds the requirements of the recent Supreme Court ruling for funding schools," Republican Gov. Sam Brownback said in a statement after the vote.
Republican leaders needed all the votes they could muster. The bill passed by a bare minimum 63 votes in the House and just one more vote than the 21 minimum in the Senate.
State Rep. John Thimesch could have made the difference. The Cunningham Republican returned to the Capitol for the education vote following the death of his wife. Legislative leaders said they had four or five other votes they could have switched if they had been needed.
The bill is potentially a big victory for conservative Republicans because it gives them some educational reforms they have sought while putting more money into schools.
The reforms would:
* Foster school choice by allowing corporations to make tax-deductible contributions to scholarship funds so children with special needs or who come from low-income households could attend private school.
* Make it easier to fire teachers by eliminating their due-process rights.
* Relax teacher licensing when hiring instructors with professional experience in areas including math, science, finance and technical education.
As the final bill was negotiated, lawmakers jettisoned an idea to block funding for Common Core academic standards.
They also shed a plan that would have provided property tax relief for parents who home-school their children or send them to private schools. Lawmakers questioned whether the property tax break was constitutional and whether they knew its real cost.
Urged by conservative special interests such as Americans for Prosperity, Republican leaders pressed hard to eliminate due process rights for teachers.
They said the proposal is intended to ensure school administrators are free from regulations that would keep them from firing substandard teachers.
"If you talk to administrators, they want this," said Sen. Julia Lynn, an Olathe Republican. "They want really good teachers to thrive. They don't want to be in a position to protect those teachers who are under-performing."
State law had required administrators to document conduct and provide a hearing for teachers they want to fire after three years on the job.
The bill means terminated teachers no longer would be able to request a hearing.
Hundreds of teachers in red T-shirts filled the Capitol rotunda during the weekend and urged lawmakers to back off the due process proposal. They filled the House and Senate galleries at the statehouse to make their position known to the Legislature.
Supporters of due process said it protects teachers from retribution if they speak against school policies or are wrongly singled out by disgruntled parents who are upset about grades or classroom curriculum.
Due process "is a safety issue, it's not to keep poor teachers in jobs," said Blue Valley West High School teacher Danna Ahnemann, who visited the Capitol on Saturday afternoon.
"It is meant to give a teacher the ability to do what that teacher believes is the best for a student and not be worried about having repercussions because of a grade or getting crosswise with one person," she said.
The legislation was of keen interest in Johnson County because it gives school districts more power to collect property taxes to fund their programs. Johnson County schools and parents long have wanted the ability to raise more money for education.
The bill raises the limit on the amount of money school districts can raise locally. School districts are now capped at 31 percent of the state funding they receive. The bill raises that limit to 33 percent.
Johnson County's three largest districts -- Olathe, Shawnee Mission and Blue Valley -- could raise the cap on their own for a year. Next year, they would be required to hold a mail-in election to keep the cap at the new level.
Superintendents from Olathe, Blue Valley and Shawnee Mission visited with area lawmakers last week. They told them that getting the ability to raise that cap was very important.
The bill also tweaks the school formula to let districts raise even more local money without going beyond the current limits.
Overall, the bill appears to funnel about $14 million into Johnson County schools and about $9.7 million into the Kansas City, Kan., district, some of which will go to property tax relief and not directly into the classroom.
There were no fresh numbers available Sunday night showing how much the districts would gain by raising the cap on their local option budgets.

Area representatives and how they voted on House Bill 2506 involving school funding and due-process for teachers in the state of Kansas. Five representatives were absent, and the measure passed 63-57.
Those voting yes included Travis Couture-Lovelady, R-Palco; Ward Cassidy, R-St. Francis; and Troy Waymaster, R-Luray.
Those voting no included Sue Boldra, R-Hays; John Ewy, R-Jetmore; and Don Hineman, R-Dighton.
On the Senate's version of the bill, the senators representing a portion of the area to vote yes were Mitch Holmes, R-St. John, and Ralph Ostmeyer, R-Grinnell. Ostmeyer originally voted no on the plan Friday.
Elaine Bowers, R-Concordia, voted no.


text: Abstract : We present numerical approximations of the 3D steady state Navier-Stokes equations in velocity-pressure formulation. We use trivariate splines of arbitrary degree d and arbitrary smoothness r < d. Using functional arguments, we derive the discrete Navier-Stokes equations in terms of B-coefficients of trivariate splines over a tetrahedral partition of any given polygonal domain. Smoothness conditions, boundary conditions and the divergence-free conditions are enforced through Lagrange multipliers. The discrete equations are solved by a variant of the augmented Lagrangian algorithm for which we prove a linear algebraic convergence rate. We have implemented this approach in MATLAb and present numerical evidence of the convergence rate as well as experiments on the lid driven cavity flow problem.

ACAC Sadiq/Shana: Results
Nov 24th, 2009 | By Nikita | Category: A.C.A.C., Feature, NewsThe results for the Sadiq/Shana challenge are in!
For the first time in ACAC's short history, this challenge was sponsored by a reader of Ambigram.com, who wanted a unique ambigram. The word combination proved to be challenging for all of the artists involved, and even for some Ambigram.com writers, who secretly doodled the names Sadiq & Shana on various scraps of paper to see what combinations are possible.
Although the final decision was up to the sponsor of the challenge, the judges made comments on the top 5 ambigrams and provided their own scoring separate from the sponsor's judgment. Interestingly, our blind internal scoring showed that the top 2 designs were only separated by 0.1 point! That just goes to show that with ambigrams, its the subtle details that can take a design to the top.
Comments from the Sponsor
Please express our deepest thanks and admiration for all the artists who participated, because although we can't mention all the designs, each one got a reaction and was special in its own way. However, when selecting the winner, the thought was to choose a design that of course was aesthetically pleasing to the eye, but equally as important, one that captured both the masculine and feminine energy, and we think Bastian's design did this and with a hint of mysticism in the design. This is because one of the top three could end up as matching tattoos! Maybe…
The choice was very difficult, and again, each design was awesome!
Thanks again to all the artists who participated.
The Results
[NOTE: All If applicable, designs may be copyrighted by the respective artists. We have permission to post them here, but you must get permission from the artist for any other use of their design, or to post them elsewhere.]
1. Bastian Pinnenberg – WINNER!
Website – http://www.flickr.com/photos/nasty_basty
"…Here's my contribution for the ongoing ACAC. I tried to achieve a clean, legible look and, since there was no information about how the ambigram would be used, passed on all visuals and filters (Except for a drop shadow. But hey, that's no real filter… ). The original design was made in blackletter, but I wanted something cleaner and changed it to a curvy serif. The most tricky part was the "S/NA" inversion, the rest came pretty much automatically…"
Mark – Congratulations! I thought that the S/Q was really the big challenge here, but you did some unexpected things with that S/NA combination, and I believe that's what set your design apart to take the top honor! We'll be in contact with you shortly to get you the prize money, and you'll need to send the original design to the contest sponsor.
Nagfa – A solid work, indeed. The weights of the lines were played to perfection here, and being smartly utilised in the S-NA combination. This work has details in each stroke, most noticeably in the similarly-rendered tails of the S and N; and the very thematically-correct little diamond-dots. The effectiveness of using the consistent uppercased A made the reading easier too. Congratulations, Bastian!
Nikita – The legibility here is impeccable. The S/NA inversion, which Bastian specified as the most 'tricky part', is beautifully done. The other part which really speaks for the consistency of this ambigram is the similarity between the three lowercase 'a' characters. This to me was the biggest challenge of this ambigram; to make the letters (that are otherwise similar in a standard alphabet) appear similar in a complex ambigram. Another great submission from a seasoned ambigram designer!
2. Michael Irving
Website – http://michaelirvingambigrams.blogspot.com/
"This was a tough one. Since both names shared an S as their initial letter my first priority was to work out their respective inversions to the Q and the A. Through much trial and error the other characters eventually fell into place. The trickiest part I found was creating the lightweight thread device I used to help delineate the H and complete the A in Shana, without compromising the readability of Sadiq."
Mark – You make this look easy, like you just happened to doodle a complex ambigram. However, when you look close at the design, you see just that is is not easy at all.
Nagfa – A surprisingly whimsical ambigram, this. Light-hearted and casual, this piece has elegance all over it. The manner in which the strokes transition into another still pleases me. That extra stroke between A and D fits in so smoothly. Ditto too the extra line for the 'h'. The strength of this piece is its refreshing new style.
Nikita – What I love most about this ambigram are the subtle flourishes, which work great in both directions and really help define the letters well. There is a nice consistency and transition from character to character. The only part of the ambigram which stands out as inconsistent is the lowercase 'h', which strays from the thickness that is so apparent in the other letters. That being said, I understand the artists' reasoning for doing it, and I think it's a good solution.
3. Ruel Masacaya
Website – http://www.flickr.com/photos/cruel_butcher/sets/72157620504015847/
"…I like working on specific words or names as compared with themes because I learn more this way after seeing other artists´ solutions. I also like working with couples´ names, as you could see on my gallery. It maybe because by making this kind of ambigram, you make 2 people happy instead of just one. The greatest challenge I encountered in making this ambigram is the IQ-SH combination. It also took a lot of time for me to decide whether to show only one name or both…."
Mark – Our sponsor seemed to like the interconnected names, and there is a hint of an ampersand between them, but I think that the design suffers from just one letter out of place: The "h" in Shana. At first glance, the second word looks like "Slana" (or even "Slang"), and you have to hunt to see that little "h" tucked in there. Otherwise, a very good submission.
Nagfa – This is a stylish smooth piece, with minimal strokes. Though the fused letters confused the reading of the names. The initial 'Sa' and the end 'na' suffered the most. Having said these, the central Q-S made for an interesting link for the two names.
Nikita – The flow & readability of this ambigram reminds me of a straight line connecting two points: easy to read, easy to follow & no obvious imperfections. I love the consistency of the line, even when it tapers off at the ends of the 'a' and the 'S.' The biggest issue with this execution is the lowercase 'h': it work great when disguised in 'Sadiq', yet looks out of place in 'Shana.' In 'Shana', the 'h' and the 'S' almost merge together to form a very complex and illegible character, which is the only drawback to this otherwise beautiful ambigram.
4. Tiffany Harvey
Website – http://www.tiffanyharvey.com/ambigrams/
"…When I did my first rough sketch of these names, I accidentally used "Shauna" instead of "Shana". I was so pleased to get them to pair together, until I looked at the page again and realized it was not quite so tricky! I think the SH/Q combination originated there, though for a long time I was trying to use mostly lowercase lettering for the design. To get the height for a lowercase "h", the "Q" dropped even further beneath the other letters and was just too gigantic and distracting. Luckily I was able to switch to a capital "H" and reel in the "Q" and "S"s a little…."
Mark – Tiffany, the judges scored this one higher than the sponsor, and your design was easily at the top of the competition. The legibility is excellent, and the dedication to maintaining the proper line widths is clearly evident. The line through the center of the design to cross the "H"s and the "A"s without looking out of place was also a great move, and you made a great decision to hide the "H" within the initial "S" in Shana to help the other letters line up correctly.
Nagfa – Consistent letterings and easy flow of strokes. The end-swirls added a feminine touch to the solution. The most intricate detail would be that nicely-concealed H-part behind the S, which rotates beautifully into a Q.
Nikita – Tiffany has a signature to her work, which makes it incredibly easy to identify as her work; it's consistent. Her characters, regardless of how complex the ambigram is, look like the came from a well designed typeface. That can be an advantage and a disadvantage; in this case, it's a slight disadvantage, as the characters look a bit too similar at times and become hard to distinguish from one another. That being said, the consistency and the flow of the lines in this ambigram is beautiful.
5. Cleber Faria
Website – http://www.cleberfaria.com/
"…I did several sketches while trying to find a solution to this ambigram. The most challenging was the 'I' and the 'H' combination. That took several days to develop, and the final solution was a result of turning the uppercase 'H' into a lowercase 'h' while shortening several of the legs…"
Mark – Once again, the idea that the big challenge was in the S/Q is proven incorrect. Cleber knocks that combination out of the park! Both of those letters look completely natural, like there isn't even much special going on. However, the bigger challenge (again) lives next door: the "h" in Shana. Overall, this was one of my favorite submissions on this round.
Nagfa – A simple and efficient design which makes it look so easy on the eyes. The names read easily, thanks to the good use of line thickness. The 'n' could well do with a less curvy bowl of the 'a' for an easier reading, and like most other solutions, the 'h' suffers the most.
Nikita – Cleber continues his outstanding ambigram work with this submission. What I love about this ambigram (as well as several others in this ACAC) is the consistency of the letterforms. My favorite letter inversion is the 'S/Q' combination. Beautifully done! What makes it a bit challenging is once again 'h/i' combination, as well as the consistency of the three lowercase 'a' characters. Other than those slight drawbacks, a very nicely designed ambigram!
As we specified in the original Ambigram Challenge Rules, we would only be able to post comments for the top 5 submissions. However, we did want to post a few other favorite submissions from a few artists that did well in the competition, but not make it into our top 5 list. It was a crowded contest, and the bar was set high.
In no particular order, here are the some entries that deserve to be recognized.
Next Challenge: Holidays 2009
Many thanks to all the fantastic artists that contributed to this ACAC.
The next challenge will be "Holidays 2009", and of course, Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa and New Years Eve will all be great choices.

More big bulls are getting spotted. This footage and photos were sent in by Harmon Silloway. He got a close look at this monster elk. Harmon says it is a 7×11 point non-typical bull.
What do you think it scores? Very tough to tell from the photos and video…
This bull is a herd bull that is a result of transplanted elk to the east to help build up the herd years ago and therefore has a radio collar on its neck as wildlife authorities keep a close eye on the herd. Don't let that make you think that it is a high fenced bull. This is a fair chase bull that a lucky hunter could very well get this year through their lottery draw.

Thanks for any help or advice.

Gwinnett Daily Post
DULUTH - The Duluth City Council on Monday extended a moratorium on accepting special-use and conditional permits in highway commercial districts to April 30 because the city plans to commission a study of the Buford Highway corridor in the spring.
The council's action also halts all regular permitting for such districts during this time period. The temporary moratorium was enacted July 9 and extended on Nov. 26 through Thursday. The Buford Highway corridor from Pleasant Hill to Old Peachtree roads is the primary area affected by the moratorium, according to Councilwoman Marsha Anderson Bomar. "The city is on the verge of authorizing a study to see what kinds of developments we'd like to see there," Bomar said. A consulting firm would likely be hired to conduct the study this spring, she said. Duluth Planning Director Cliff Cross said the study also may recommend boundaries for a potential tax allocation district that would encourage redevelopment and revitalization of the Buford Highway corridor and fund infrastructure improvements in it. Duluth voters approved a referendum in November authorizing the city to create TADs.More like this story

The missing (wireless) link for LED lighting
Guest columnist Stephen Page, v-p engineering at Cyan believes it is time to consider the benefits of adding wireless control to LED lighting fixtures.
He begins:
Rising energy costs and government funded green initiatives are driving operators of public lighting systems to look to new technologies.
The move to LED technology will require a redesign of a lighting fixture. At this redesign stage, for a very small incremental cost it is also possible to add wireless control to a lighting fixture.
