New to Typophile? Accounts are free, and easy to set up.
At first, the idea of using small-caps for acronyms etc. is very appealing, but typographic success depends on an appropriate font: if the small-caps have the same x-height, then plurals and mixed case forms look quite poor (OpenMP, DoE, GeV, PDEs) etc. leading some to abandon the approach altogether (see this thread about typesetting units for example.)
What fonts provide suitable mid caps (quarter caps?) to support consistent and thorough use of small-caps for acronyms etc.?
I know Actium, but at the time of writing, however, this is the only font with the "mid caps" tag on MyFonts. Many other fonts are suitable: FF Atma provides both mid and quarter caps for example, and other fonts like Vesper Pro (as discussed in this thread) have larger SC with the x-height caps as petite caps. What other fonts provide this or similar features? (If you know of too many alternatives to list, I am mostly interested in text-faces for extended scientific, so fonts that would work well with math fonts such as Zapf's AMS Euler font would be appreciated.) I know of the following:
What other fonts would work well for a complete treatment of acronyms, units, etc. with small or mid caps?
p.s. As I am new to this site, I did not yet start a wiki page to collect this list, but will if the thread manages to collect a good selection of fonts. What would be the best index to include this under? Perhaps a FAQ?
–> Lapidaria Maior.
Andron-Versalmediuskeln (supposedly the same as mid-caps) are developed but not yet released. I would like to show but image upload is still not working here …
I could send an image off-list, if you're interested.

Just has to be under 130K. I don't know why the Punchcut tech guys haven't solved this yet. I thought we had some solid leads.
Actium … supports a wonderful "Smart Capo" feature …
It's an interesting idea, but it should have been implemented as a Stylistic Set, which is discretionary, not Contextual Alternates, which is on by default in CS apps etc.
Without any features applied, it causes strange things to happen, such as a mixture of lining and old style figures, e.g. at the Museum of Modern Art:
Rather than save time, I suspect Smart Capo would require extra vigilance in typography and proofreading.
IMO, the default figure style should remain so if no features are applied by the typographer, and the Small Capitals feature (smcp) should always show the default figure style, with lining, small-cap-height figures belonging in the All Small Capitals feature (smcp + c2sc).
Depending on the features of the layout program -- we use InDesign -- you can scale the small caps in a character style, and scale them non-proportionally. Now I'm sure the purists will howl, but as long as you don't go too far, it works. I've gone up to about 107% vertically and 104% (IIRC) horizontally in Minion, before the weight gets too great.
The apparent weight is the biggest limiting factor, as the glyphs pick up weight as you scale them up. That and not going too far in one direction, so as to distort them too much. Finally, with InDesign, you lose kerning between a scaled glyph any other glyph not so scaled -- like the apostrophe, lower case s, etc. Kerning within the scaled glyphs is not affected.
It is best to have two sets of "small caps" in the font. Lacking that, and lacking permission to modify the font by adding them, such scaling in the layout program is about all that's available. As usual, it is more work than modifying the font by adding to it, unless you only use the font occasionally. If you're using Adobe fonts, or another font with permission to modify, and you know your way around a font editing program, that's the best way.
Thanks everyone for your comments and suggestions.
@Charles: Ultimately I will probably be doing most of the layout with LaTeX or XeLaTeX which would, in principle, allows for quite a bit of programmatic flexibility, including the ability to fake caps by scaling. However, I would rather use a font with two sets of caps designed in as you suggest.
That being said, it raises an interesting question: Given a well proportioned x-height small-cap and full cap, how well would interpolating between these to produce a mid-cap work? I would imagine that such an interpolation would be quite reasonable as it should preserve the weight of the characters much better than simply scaling in two directions could. (I will have to explore with some of the fonts supplying both small and mid-caps to see how well the mid-caps represent such an interpolation.)
@Nick: I was wondering how well the Smart Capo feature would work in practice: I agree that it might become a proof-reading nightmare. As I plan to work in (Xe)LaTeX, I will probably do all the markup manually through semantic markup (acronyms etc.) so the automagic behaviour is not really needed (but I liked the idea).
@Andreas: Andron might work nicely. This is not something I need immediately though, so I can probably wait until Andron-Versalmediuskeln is released.
@hrant: Not sure if Ernestine will work for me, but it looks very nice.
Just as a point of clarification, what I'm talking about is scaling the existing small caps up a bit, not "faking" them from full caps. Of course, TeX will let you do this as well.
BTW, there have been several threads in Typophile on how to make "true-cut" small caps from the full caps. Its been a number of years since I used TeX -- and we used plain TeX with our own macros -- but the main reason to go to a font editing program is to be able to control the weight. Couldn't do that with the old TeX, or any layout program I know of. Just a matter of time, I imagine.
In a font editing program, scale down the full caps, non-proportionally. When starting with full caps, my starting point is to scale down 4 percent less horizontally than vertically. Of course, you have to look at the result & adjust as necessary. Then increase the weight. The other reason to use a font editing program is to handle the little touches that let you create really "true-cut" small and/or petite and/or mid caps. Serifs, and the round letters...
The other thing to watch for is the x-height not be generally too large. If it is large, there isn't much room for distinct petite caps. I was thinking of Charis, which we've modified successfully for our work, but the x-height is quite large. Petite caps could be done, but would be a bit tricky.
Open Source fonts like Charis are of course modifiable, and those modifications can be distributed. At 11:00pm at home, I can't remember just which Gyre fonts are actually good ... Sadly, I find most rather lacking. IIRC, Pagella isn't too bad, if you can stand a Palatino.
As far as Libre fonts go, I was thinking that Sebastian's Crimson Text (discussed here) would also be a good place to start.
@Igor: Palimpsest looks interesting too. Thanks for pointing it out.
http://www.aimwell.org/Fonts/fonts.html – Bhikkhu Pesala has reworked some old standards with, among other niceties, small-caps and petit-caps. IIRC, the latter are x-height with the small-caps a bit taller. Most or all of these fonts are GPLed.

If you're planning on driving down the Amalfi coast never do this on a weekend during peak season. The traffic is horrible and you won't enjoy the beauty of it all. Pick a day during the week and preferably not peak season to take the drive. It's well worth it. report a problem

LaToshia Read darts down the aquarium stairs in a blue-and-black wetsuit, toting behind her fellow manatee research trainer Kim Dziuk and two Mote Marine Aquarium interns. Each carries a bucket of manatee treats — beets, carrots and apples — that, along with a whistle, aid in training manatees Hugh and Buffett for various skills, exercises and research.
"It's a really big wow-factor when we explain what we do," Read says. "We don't have the typical nine-to-five office job, and we're outside a lot, interacting with interesting animals."
Today, the manatees will continue their stretcher training. Should Hugh and Buffett be released in the future, stress on the trainers and the animals will be greatly reduced if the manatees voluntarily swim into the stretcher.
"We're trying to get weights on Hugh and Buffett so that we can bring in a crane to lift them," Read said.
"We would like it to be voluntary, so they swim in when we signal and sit in the stretcher."
Read sets her treat bucket on the side of the tank and settles down into the water while Dziuk attaches several straps to the stretcher that will hold it in place.
Read and Dziuk have also been practicing drawing blood and collecting urine with Hugh and Buffett. The team of two provides the manatees with more advanced training than manatees receive at any other facility in the world. Not only does the training allow the manatees to receive veterinary care with less stress, but the manatees also participate in research projects — such as sensory testing determined by particle movement — that have led to multiple discoveries about how they sense their underwater world.
"We're able to work with an endangered species in a research setting like Mote, which is known for the manatee work done here," Dziuk said. "Everything here is groundbreaking. You get to be involved, feel like you're making a footprint and helping out."
Standing between the stretcher and tank wall, Read gives Hugh the signal "move forward" using a bridge (whistle). Slowly, the sea cow inches toward his trainer, the hairs on his body sticking above the water.
"A lot of people associate slow-moving with slow," Dziuk said. "What we do, the research we conduct and the complex steps, the manatees definitely pick it up. It seems like they remember things well. Training and research are hard to do when it's for profit. We're so lucky to be able to have the focus with research."
Manatee training also involves testing the tank's water quality, temperature and chlorine levels. Trainers are also responsible for checking the pressure of the system and prepping food each evening.
"My favorite part is working with them," Read said. "I like that we get to work one-on-one with the manatees and get to know each individual … (we) get to build relationships in that sense."

'Amazing Race' Season 21 Winners Reveal How They'll Spend the $1 Million Prize
Natalie and Nadiya (fourth place):
THR: Where do you think it all went wrong?
Nadiya: [Getting the wrong directions to the pit stop] was the straw that broke the camel's back. We drove in the completely wrong direction for 45 minutes. But the whole day, we couldn't get it together.
Natalie: We only have ourselves to blame.
THR: The Beekmans weren't in your alliance. How did you feel when you realized they had won?
Natalie: It was a weird sensation at the finish line when we were waiting for the teams. We were completely clueless about what was going on. When they ran in there, I didn't expect to be so happy. They took our spot in the final three and at least they won it. They beat us fair and square
THR: Why was there such a rivalry between you two and Abbie and Ryan?
Nadiya: It was strictly professional. In New York, after everything was said and done ... we shook hands and said it was all about business and moved forward. Seeing the Beekmans win brought us all together. It was all part of the race and that was it. It was nothing personal.
Natalie: Also we bonded during the course of the race because they got a lot of backlash and we were all targeted as cutthroat. There was an animosity we shared during the race -- talking smack. We took it and dealt it. It was a fun relationship and everyone enjoyed the competition aspect.
THR: A lot was made about the fact that you kept James and Abba's money with Trey and Lexi when you found it. Do you regret that?
Nadiya: We have no regrets about keeping the money. We found the money on the ground; it was not stealing. We didn't know whose it was; we thought it might be the rockers, the monster truckers, Abbie and Ryan -- all of which we had no alliance or relationship with.
Natalie: Nobody came forward and said anything about lost money. As a team and competitor, it's not my responsibility to go around and ask the teams if it was theirs. Nobody stepped forward and said anything about it. Maybe things would have changed if someone had come forward.
THR: Why did you try out for The Amazing Race?
Nadiya: Our entire lives, people have told us, "You need to do reality TV." The Amazing Race was the only one we ever considering because you need to bring skills and talent, and we could use some of our crazy aspects to our advantage as well.
THR: Would you compete again if asked back?
In unison: Hell yes!

Racist Hong Kong is still a fact
York Chow says while Hong Kong may not be the world's most racist society, prejudice - often at a subconscious level - still pervades the city, and the problem needs to be tackled at all levels
Recently, there has been much media coverage over the results of the global World Values Survey, which seemed to indicate that seven out of 10 Hongkongers do not wish to live next to someone of a different race. For a few days, it appeared that Hong Kong was the most racially intolerant of all the places surveyed.
It has now been revealed that the data was wrong; in fact, the figure for Hongkongers should have been around 27 per cent. While the corrected result is undoubtedly better, we nevertheless must contend with the fact that more than a quarter of respondents still said they do not want a neighbour of a different race. For "Asia's world city", this figure is unacceptably high.
When I was in my local high school some 50 years ago, we had Indians, Pakistanis, Portuguese, Malaysians and Thais as classmates. We all learned Chinese together, and some even studied it as their major at university. They became senior civil servants, executives and professionals. We valued the multicultural school environment, helped each other, played in the same sports teams and enjoyed lasting friendships. Ethnic acceptance and respect was natural and spontaneous.
Unfortunately, surveys and studies by the Equal Opportunities Commission, the government and other organisations in recent years still point to the existence of bias against our ethnic minorities and the prevalence of racial discrimination. In a survey last year by Hong Kong Unison, a non-governmental organisation, fewer than half of the respondents said they accepted Africans, Nepalis, Pakistanis, Filipinos and Indians in their personal lives, including as friends or spouses for themselves and their children.
While such prejudicial attitudes may be subconscious, they can manifest themselves in unequal treatment in various areas of daily life. For instance, in the 2009 Thematic Household Survey on Racial Acceptance, commissioned by the EOC and conducted by the Census and Statistics Department, approximately one in three respondents found it unacceptable to lease premises to an African, South Asian or Middle Eastern tenant.
Since the Race Discrimination Ordinance came into effect in 2009, nearly three-quarters of the complaints handled by the EOC under this law have been unrelated to employment; most were about access to goods, facilities and services. Last year, 55 per cent of respondents in a survey by Time Out said they had witnessed or experienced racism in admission to facilities, services, restaurants or shops.
In addition, many people from ethnic minorities still face serious systemic barriers to equal opportunity in areas such as education and employment. In 2011, the EOC released the report of our Working Group on Education for Ethnic Minorities, which describes how the mainstream education system has failed the majority of ethnic minority students, particularly in supporting them to master Chinese when the language is not spoken at home.
This issue was also highlighted in March by the UN Human Rights Committee in its concluding observations on Hong Kong's third report in light of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. It noted its concern that "ethnic minorities are underrepresented in higher education and that no official education policy for teaching Chinese as a second language for non-Chinese-speaking students with an immigrant background in Hong Kong has been adopted".
These obstacles have devastating implications for generations of ethnic minorities and their ability to pursue their aspirations. By not taking prompt action to ensure equal opportunities in education, the government is damaging ethnic minority children's prospects over their entire lifetime. Many who received insufficient support in learning Chinese during their school years now find themselves unable to meet the Chinese-language requirement for various jobs and are relegated to low-pay work.
In turn, this contributes to a perpetuation of a cycle of poverty and poses a hurdle to social integration. And despite recent moves by the Civil Service Bureau to open up government job opportunities for ethnic minority applicants, a substantial number still struggle to access them.
In fact, thus far, the solutions offered by the government have been piecemeal and largely reactive. What we need is a multi-pronged, holistic approach to a systemic problem. The government must take the lead to address the issue with conviction, based on the recognition that true equality may require accommodative measures to level the playing field.
A starting point must be the introduction of an alternative standardised Chinese-language curriculum and assessment framework for non-Chinese-speaking students to enable them to compete more fairly against native speakers. The Education Bureau should also review its policy of designated schools, which is not conducive to integration and effective Chinese learning, and strengthen language support for ethnic minority students starting at the pre-primary level as well as for their families.
It is worrying to witness the various local xenophobic comments and behaviour towards ethnic minority groups, recent immigrants and mainlanders. Discrimination is usually a result of ignorance, misconception and a lack of experience. Our government, society, schools, institutions, and goods and service providers need to work together to tackle this growing epidemic through appropriate public education, policies and organisational codes of practice.
While it is true that racial violence in this city is rare, assumptions, often subconscious, about those of different cultural backgrounds or ethnic origins remain common.
This is to our own detriment as an international city and business hub. It is also contrary to our core value of openness and to our long history as a place where talents of different backgrounds mix and mingle, fuelling innovation.
While we can breathe a sigh of relief that Hong Kong is not the most racist society in the world, we also need to remember that we can still do far better to eradicate racial bias and discrimination. We must work together to build a truly equal community of which we can all be proud.
Dr York Chow Yat-ngok is chairperson of the Equal Opportunities Commission

May sound ironic or strange but Western-born HK/ Chinese are embracing racism in HK. I've been told by ABC n CBC that in HK "It is our right to not associate ourselves with "brown people" cause we are more "superior" than them, there is no laws like back home that says we have to treat everyone the same". My gf who is local HK chinese were told by her expat chinese friends that she should break up with me cause it makes them look bad bringing me around, she should look for someone chinese or white". It's pretty dangerous that these thoughts are coming from educated individuals.
There was an opinion article on efinancialcareers.com by an individual on his views regarding working in Hong Kong and the last point he mentioned was that "If your not white or chinese, expect challenges in your career".
I have really good friends who are white n in denial about racism towards the ethnic minorities and don't see it cause there treated like royalty n why ruin a good thing?
I can go on for a while about personal and other friends experiences. I've gotten used to it and accept it for what it is.
HK is a great city, very convenient and dynamic business environment. Hopefully there will be improvement in this area.
I'm not saying HK is at all perfect, far from it. It just irks me those who cast their stone should look in the mirror themselves, and stop sooo patronizing and holier than thou. You guys have never really experienced true racism.
Just look at the BBC website today about the attacks on moslems shooting up following the attack on the soldier. Look at the riots by minorities complaing about racism in Sweden, a country held up as a flagbearer for tolerance in Europe. Not to mention the deprivation and high inprisonment rates of blacks in the US. Last time I was in the UK I got the slanty eyed treatment - maybe thank god I wasnt black or Indian. Even polite Japan does not allow non Japanese into many places even if you speak Japanese.
I refuse to accept HK is the worst, so I fight back at the hypocrites who say it is. Yes, HKers do have prejudices, but generally it is much more tolerant, and we dont go to extreme physical attacks prevalent in most ot the white world. HK has only recently had an influx of Africans/other races so needs time and education to adjust, but has acted much better than the most.
When westerners start lecturing others about how great they are, and bad you are, and not take note of their own racist histories and current situation, are you surprised when others react badly ? It makes is so easy for the CP to stoke up patriotism against western propaganda, saying you are keeping Chinese down.
In reply to: slchoong (May 26th 2013, 4:42am)
The sad thing is, when the original (erroneous) report was first published, people freaked out and almost the one single response was, 'hey, (some other country, usually the US, UK or Australia) is much more racist!)', and insisting how perfect the locals are when it comes to racial issues.
I hope that's not the general sentiment but such attitudes are disturbing. It's saddening enough that some people here are not sensitive enough to racial issues and racism in general. It's even more saddening to see some people not even aware that they are being racist. But the most saddening thing is: there seems to be quite a number of locals who are in complete denial that there is any racism in Hong Kong.
When was the last time he rode the MTR? I've seen seated black people with an empty seat(s) next to them on the Tung Chung line at busy hours (8-9am) and Saturday afternoons. The Tung Chung line is probably the most cosmopolitan with its Disneyland station.
Just one of those observations that makes one go...hmmn.
Funny, I don't encounter this is other world cities like London and Paris.
This is an American survey with one questionnaire about one's preference. Given what I have seen and where I have lived as in Malaysia where non-Malays are denied jobs or high education, HKers are soft towards others. In Canada, when one China mining company requested Mandarin speaking miners applications the Cdn government immediately required all job applications be in English/French-only (now imagine if HK (/China) told companies Mandarin/Cantonese only - tens of thousands would be out of a job and some would call HK racist for acting likewise while other nations get away with it). Also, when an Asian face was used for a Canadian currency, some others did not like that idea so it was not used. Some Canadians said China would not have a Caucasian in their currency, but China did have not one but several Caucasians in their currency and bank notes including a Canadian despite China being mostly ho mogeneous where Canada was supposedly multicultural.
What this American survey also hides are actionable racism. In HK, there is nothing like the Aryan Guard, neo-Nazis, etc. who direct hate/violence towards minorities because of race. In HK there are legitimate perceptions of race or groups .

All polls are flawed. All people are racist.
In reply to: Gra (May 25th 2013, 9:36pm)
When you go to another country, you need to realise things arent the same as 'home' and try to understand the local culture. Goods vehicles drive in the middle lane not purely out of their own laziness, but because there isnt education about letting cars in and coz the inside lane disappears into a left turn. Likewise HK has had few black immigrants til China made most things. And some may ignore foreigners as the fear the unknown (like being able to communicate).
That doesnt mean you should be overly sarcastic - Asia's world city is just gov marketing, and I wouldnt say Paris is a world city with its own racial problems, unemployment, arrogance and crime. You should also adjust your own expectations to the local culture and not seek to impose your ideas on others without understanding the past (both yours and the host country).
In reply to: newgalileo (May 25th 2013, 10:43am)
More so, giving the difficulty in extricating from our innate behavior, a society must institute law against discrimination at least by race, ethnicity, region or ability. Here I must say US has done the most. Hong Kong should do the same.
Not to belittle of Dr. York's contribution in this article and his work, Hong Kong must have law against discrimination to remove prejudice. Equal Opportunities Commission is vastly insufficient to do the job. Neither the pulpit nor classroom has succeeded.

However, there is a big difference between Hong Kong and immigrant countries such as United Kingdom and New Zealand. The former has never claim and pretend to be immigrant territory and the latter claims to be multicultural societies which accept immigrants. I do not have the rights to live in any of the Chinese territories such as Macao, Hong Kong, Taiwan and mainland so I can't claim to know how foreigners are being discriminated in Hong Kong.

It starts in small children who at their parents' knee have bigotry instilled into them by hearing remarks, observing behaviour and attitudes and copying them. Hence the recent example of a Filipina domestic helper in HK Island who took her Chinese employer's 3 year old daughter to ballet class was told by the child she could not enter the school and wait inside because "BLACK people cannot come in." It is most significant that the mother of this child is middle class. This sort of thing is NOT rare. Just cast a glance at the racist statements by Chinese readers in SCMP comments and letters, they have not the slightest inkling they are being racist, they actually believe what they say!
Time to take a good hard look at yourselves in the mirror, Hongkies.
In reply to: caractacus (May 25th 2013, 1:52pm)
And institutionalised as in white S Africa which had support from Maggie Thatcher and the CIA?
You used Hongkies in a derogatory way. If you were in the elsewhere you would use ****? That would definitely be racist.
So much for looking in the mirror and not having an inkling of what they say about racism.
Just hate hypocrites like you. Makes me wanna say why dont you go home. Chinese now rich enough not to need white trash like you.
It was a foremost island and territory invaded by the British and British weren't welcomed in the first place. Invasion was never welcomed neither was the British. I believe that English should be removed as an official language of Hong Kong as soon as the 50 years of status quo after the handover is over ditto for Portuguese in Macao.
I think it's fair that Hong Kong Government should work towards integrating many immigrants now that they are here including first and second generations non-Chinese immigrants in order to create a more prosperous and tolerant society.

Unlike you, I believe every human being should be accepted for the person he/she is, and not according to their colour, race, ethnic origin or religion, but you use the word White trash. I am not the trash, you are for your bigotry.
sman - you are the racist and you are ignorant. Why don't you read some objective history, not the foul propaganda your Beijing masters spread to you.
If you tell me to go home, you filthy racist, then every other country should tell you to go home. Do you have a foreign passport, hypocrite?
In reply to: caractacus (May 26th 2013, 2:47am)
You're a frequent contributor to the opinion pages. Your blatant racism fulfills everyone's definition of white, or dirty white, trash.

Nick Jimmy 08-10-2001, 04:13 PM Even if it costs a little more out of pocket at the boat, I'm in. Jimmy Craig 08-10-2001, 04:13 PM I'm free for Saturday. We could always just put up the extra and still go to the Rip. If 7 are signed up that would be 42/43 a man. juro 08-10-2001, 05:09 PM I heard the fishing really s-l-o-w on the flats... CAN'T WAIT TO TRY IT! }> My favorite time to sight fish is when they are hard to get, when they are easy you might as well blind cast. Well, I don't mind that either. ;) I have a new flats fly I want to test as well. If I get my hall pass the afternoon flood has my name on it, probably South Beach inside though since I haven't hit that since June. What about the morning.... it's outer beaches time of year and I have heard confirming reports. Pre-dawn, full tides, haven't been past Welfleet all year... Crack of dawn at the ends of the finger channels on the bayside flats, full tides, have had the fish tailing. I had a great outing on Brewster Flats at high tide recently... Scoping the south cape for hardtails... we know a few spots where a yak and a bone could meet... only one week before the bone clave... I know the Fabulous Estey Bros. are scouting bones this weekend. I can't wait to hear the reports. Anyone else scouting the boneclave waters this weekend? FishHawk 08-10-2001, 06:42 PM Sounds like the Rip trip is questionable . I would go if its $43 per man. Would like to know by 8:00pm need to get to sleep before I get up at 3:30 for the trip down. FishHawk juro 08-10-2001, 10:22 PM Fishhawk - I think we should postpone until the weekend after Boneclave. Sorry I was unable to reply until now. I'll be bouncing around the Chatham area in the AM, call me on the cell phone if you want to hook up. FishHawk 08-11-2001, 02:15 AM Weekend after BoneClave sounds good . FishHawk |

A Wide Spectral Range Reflectance and Luminescence Imaging System
Received: 21 August 2013 / Revised: 17 October 2013 / Accepted: 18 October 2013 / Published: 25 October 2013
(This article belongs to the Special Issue Spectral Imaging at the Microscale and Beyond)
Abstract: In this study, we introduce a wide spectral range (200–2500 nm) imaging system with a 250 μm minimum spatial resolution, which can be freely modified for a wide range of resolutions and measurement geometries. The system has been tested for reflectance and luminescence measurements, but can also be customized for transmittance measurements. This study includes the performance results of the developed system, as well as examples of spectral images. Discussion of the system relates it to existing systems and methods. The wide range spectral imaging system that has been developed is however highly customizable and has great potential in many practical applications.

Hearne teen dies in ATV accident
UPDATED: Thursday, April 26, 2012 - 9:08pm
HEARNE -- A Hearne teenager is dead tonight after being thrown from his ATV Wednesday afternoon.
Officials with the Department of Public Safety say 17-year-old De'Jon Pierce was driving his 4-wheeler with a friend when he lost control and crashed it into a ditch.
Both were thrown from the a-t-v and Pierce was pronounced dead at the scene.
The passenger was taken to a hospital in Bryan where he was treated.
Neither of the teens were wearing a helmet.

Thanks for pointing this out. Another peeve with Lion is the overuse of low-contrast fonts in key parts of applications like iCal and Address Book. For example, in Address Book, on the "Card" page, the titles of the fields are so low contrast that they are hard to read if there is any glare on the screen. And in iCal, in the Week view, other than the current day, the date is hard to read under office lighting conditions.This is beside the fact that they make poor use of screen real estate. Address book is just plain ugly on a Mac screen. Not all iOS notions translate nicely to the Mac…
I remember those days/weeks in January or February. At the end of a long run of bltteriy cold weather, we finally had a balmy -20C and my then 5-yearold son could be outside and play. When called in for dinner, he came in rosy-cheeked and while he ripped off his toque, he exclaimed Mom, it's really WARM outside. It's all in what you compare to
