The use of colors in brand developmentPosted by MParagon in The use of colors in brand development | February 8, 2013
How to Choose The Right Color For Your Brand
Just as a country's flag represents the specific identity of a people, so, too, the color of a logotype defines the character of a corporation. It is instantly recognized by everyone and conveys a certain message. Choosing the right color for your brand is very important because this specific color represents your business' attributes.
Color is a Powerful Branding Tool
What is the color of your brand? Color plays an important role and says a lot about you and your brand. Take as an example the Google logo. We can instantly recognize it from its characteristic colors.
What would the Google logo be without its current colors? What if it was colored gray?
While Google's logo gallery features 1002 logos that include all these humorous cartoon modifications that we see on holidays, and major events, we all know that the combination of the blue, yellow, red and green letters is the distinctive symbol of this major search engine.
Color Bolsters Your Branding Attributes
Think of IBM, a company that is synonymous with Big Blue. Blue shows a sense of security and reliability. IBM's blue logo, designed in 1972, makes a distinctive statement about the company's expertise, innovation, service and trust, thereby reinforcing its strength in the industry. It is a great example of a simple, yet attractive and powerful emblem.
Color Enables Brand Recognition
How do you recognize your favorite brands? The color establishes the identity of business in the eyes of the client more than the actual letters within the logo. Think for a moment a few well-known brands, like Hertz, Avis, National Car Rental and Alamo. You instantly recognize their logo from a long distance because of their unique color.
Color Evokes Emotion
How true is that, indeed! A woman's heart rate is said to increase when she is holding a Tiffany light blue box. Tiffany's color is so important to the brand, they trademarked it.
Tiffany's Blue Book catalogue was first published in 1878. It's unique color is now known worldwide as Tiffany Blue, and has become an international symbol of style and sophistication.
Color Helps You Stand Out of Competitors
UPS is instantly recognized by its brown trucks. "What can brown do for you?", was UPS' former advertising slogan. The question is synonymous to "what can UPS do for you?".
Companies use colors to express their brand attributes. You can do the same for your personal brand. However, be careful, the question you need to ask when choosing your brand's color is not: "What is my favorite color?" Instead, the right question is: "What color best expresses my personal brand attributes?"
When I started my diet blog which have diet coupons and discounts I thought I would use a blue colored theme because that is my favorite color. I later realized that using a green color would better convey my message of health, relaxation, healing, weight loss, and youth.
So, What Color Is Your Brand?
Use BLUE, if your brand expresses authority, reliability, truth, intelligence, confidence, loyalty, integrity, wisdom, peace and/or trust.
What famous candy brand used the color blue to revitalize an aging product? M&M's has been producing their colorful button-shaped candies in brown, yellow, green, orange and red colors since 1941. In 1995, they first introduced the blue color in their candies as an expression of their brand's continuity, loyalty and authority in the market.
Use GREEN, if your brand expresses optimism, growth, relaxation, fertility, spring, nature, rebirth, luck, healing, youth and/or environment.
What brand boasts weekly sales of millions of bright green bottles filled with fresh-smelling hair care products? Garnier Fructis hair care products are designed to protect and strengthen the hair to reveal its life, beauty, and shininess. They are widely known for their green color that communicates growth, fertility and rebirth.
Use YELLOW if your brand expresses happiness, energy, caution, sunshine, warmth, joy, intellect, light, warning, and/or vision.
What city is often associated with yellow, thanks to the high number of its taxis? New York City of course! Over 12,000 yellow cabs have linked NYC to the color yellow.
Use ORANGE if your brand expresses competition, energy, force, success, encouragement, determination, productivity, potency, and/or vitality.
When my brother Alex, a certified residential energy performance inspector, launched his online venture of energy performance certificates in N. Ireland, he deliberately chose orange as the brand color of his business. He never regretted it!
Use RED if your brand expresses action, desire, passion, determination, power, potency and/or love.
What brand's red color can be seen on vending machines, billboards and ads all over the world? Coca-Cola's red color is instantly recognized everywhere.
Use PURPLE if your brand expresses royalty, ambition, spirituality, mysticism, dignity, mystery, inspiration, wealth, magic, and luxury.
What popular rock star uses purple to brand his name? Prince, of course. In fact, his 6th album is named "Purple Reign" and is ranked among the best albums in the rock music history.

By Elaine SanchezAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, April 18, 2011 Last week I traveled to Ohio to attend a "Joining Forces" event for local military families and community members in the Columbus area.
First Lady Michelle Obama and Dr. Jill Biden, wife of Vice President Joe Biden, hosted the concert-style event to thank military families as well as to encourage community members to support and honor them as part of the White House's Joining Forces family support initiative. The event also helped to kick off a new installment of the Sesame Street and USO Experience for Military Families, a free traveling tour exclusively for military families.
Elmo, Grover, Cookie Monster and friends offered a preview of the traveling show, which features a new theme and a new character named Katie, a military child about to move. During the musical show, Katie opens up to her Muppet friends about her fears, and excitement, over her upcoming move. With the help of a few songs, Elmo and other Sesame pals reassure her that she'll make new friends while still remaining close with old ones.
The show was a blast, although my ears are still ringing from the screaming fans, particularly after singer Nick Jonas of the Jonas Brothers made a special appearance.
The traveling show will begin its around-the-world tour with a stop in Alaska later this month, and will continue with stops in Hawaii, Guam, South Korea, Turkey, Italy, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, the United Kingdom and Spain.
For up-to-date tour information, people can visit the USO website.

Veterans finally laid one of their own to rest Thursday - something they said was long overdue.
That's because U.S. Navy veteran Molly Rizzi died in Oct. 2011, but her children paid one cremation deposit and then disappeared.
The Daniels Funeral Home in Rio Rancho kept Rizzi's remains while they looked for someone to claim her.
"It felt a little uncomfortable to know that we had a loved one's remains here," Paul Daniels from the funeral home said.
The remains were not claimed for over a year until the Women Veterans of New Mexico stepped in.
"We took it as our responsibility to help her, and we ended up getting with our organization to get the funds available for her funeral," organization President Judy Quintana said.
Once they paid the final bill to bury Rizzi, other veterans came in to escort her to the Santa Fe National Cemetery. The Patriot Guard Riders adopted Rizzi.
"Thank God for anybody who has serves our country, and especially her because she is very special to us as a family member," Vera Masters of the Patriot Guard Riders said.
"We are her family today. Her body was not claimed, so we are her family. And all veterans are our family," Robert Torrino, another rider, said.
But Torrino also said there are many instances where veterans remains are not claimed by a family member.

text: With only three guilds up to Lady Vash so far, this hotfix sets up some real competition. MMO-CHAMPION makes the reasonable speculation that if the hotfix requires downtime US guild Death & Taxes will likely get the world first kill, because US maintenance comes before EU maintenance. But if it's a hotfix requiring no downtime (that may have even gone live already), EU guilds Curse and Nihilum will have extra time to work on the encounter before their instance resets, giving one of them the world first. So who's going to win this race? If I don't see a first kill announcement somewhere in the next 24 hours, I'll be greatly surprised.

I didn't give any clues for this class except for the title so no one had any idea what was in store for them when they arrives in class. The clue Tic Tac Toe was the number of pieces on the front of the project and the rest............well you can see for yourself.
This Gardening Book was made from scratch. Each pocket inside is for seed packets, notes and anything else for the keen gardener.
I really enjoyed making this book which can be adapted for any occasion and is a great gift.
My next projects are "Hanging by a thread" and "Letter to a friend". Don't miss them.

Nintendo have announced plans to launch the revised Nintendo 3DS XL across Europe on July 28th, and later in North America on August 19th.
In a slick, updated form factor, the handheld, which features 90 per cent larger screens, will be available in Silver + Black, Red + Black and Blue + Black colour variants.
Not only will the Nintendo 3DS XL be bundled with a 4GB SD card, but the system's battery life is also improved over that of the original model.
It won't, however, include an AC Adapter. Such a move deemed to be an attempt to allow the system to be "available at a reasonable purchase price."
"No other hand-held entertainment experience compares to the fun of Nintendo 3DS," comments Nintendo of America President and COO Reggie Fils-Aime.
"With the launch of Nintendo 3DS XL on Aug. 19, consumers will be able to enjoy the great lineup of current and upcoming games on an even grander scale. Plus, Nintendo 3DS XL gives owners even more real estate on their screens to enjoy entertainment applications like Nintendo Video and Netflix."
Alex Seedhouse+ Alex's early adoration for Nintendo began with a Yellow Game Boy and a copy of Donkey Kong Land. This developed over the years, later peaking when he hid in his room to play The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time one Christmas. Nowadays, his enthusiasm is shared through Nintendo Insider, a place in which he can document his thoughts regarding the big N.

Quick Settings Android App Review
Apr 12th
Posted by admin in App Review
There are a number of various connectivity and functionality options available in Android devices. But that also gives to the user the not-so-easy task of having to manage them all.

You're no more required to clog up your home screen with shortcuts to multiple functionalities on your phone. The app is free.

Android Chief: We're Still Open?
Apr 8th
Android chief Andy Rubin took to the blogs Wednesday evening to combat recent reports of Google clamping down on Android's openness.
"We continue to be an open source platform and will continue releasing source code when it is ready," wrote Rubin on the Android Developer Blog. "As I write this the Android team is still hard at work to bring all the new Honeycomb features to phones. As soon as this work is completed, we'll publish the code. This temporary delay does not represent a change in strategy."
Google has championed its platform as the open alternative to Apple's closed iOS system. More >

The popular Samsung Galaxy S smartphone will receive the latest Gingerbread update according to Three's Twitter feed where a post mentions that the update is expected to come within the next couple of weeks but that they cannot yet confirm a date.
We saw Android OS 2.3.4 popping in our Google Analytics logs, aversion which was also powering the Sprint Nexus S 4G (the successor of the Nexus One and build by Samsung) towards the end of March 2011.

Motorola XOOM Review
Apr 2nd
Motorola's big launch of CES 2011 and the first Android 3.0 Honeycomb tablet on the market, the Motorola XOOM has a lot to live up to. In its haste to reach Verizon shelves, the XOOM could seem a little half-baked; it doesn't get Flash Player support for another few weeks, and won't have 4G until an update sometime in Q2. Still, as the iPad has shown, there are undoubtedly benefits to being first out of the gate, and there's undoubtedly plenty on offer. Can the XOOM bypass pricing skepticism? Check out the full SlashGear review after the cut.

Google may have done a lot of work with Android 3.0 Honeycomb. It certainly looks good, has everything you'd expect from a tablet operating system, in terms of features, and has taken centre stage on some of the most exciting tablets we've ever seen – the Motorola Xoom, LG Optimus Pad and the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1.

There's been a lot of talk about the Motorola Xoom lately. The 10-inch widescreen tablet is the first to carry the tablet-ready Android 3.0 and the rest of its technical specs read like a wish list, but more recently, its high price has drawn attention and headlines to the device.

LG behind official Google Nexus tablet?

LG may be Google's OEM of choice for developing a Nexus-branded tablet, and this device could run on the upcoming Ice Cream platform.

This could also be when Google unveils its Ice Cream Android OS, a system pundits believe will reunite Android's smartphone and tablet platforms.
Interestingly, Murtazin reports that LG might not have been Google's first choice – however, competing OEMs Samsung, HTC More >
Google closes Android 3.0 Honeycomb source to prevent use on smartphones

Sting in tail as Portuguese Man O'War wash up in Cornwall
Posted: September 08, 2012|
More potentially deadly Portuguese Man O'War could be washed up on Westcountry beaches, conservationists have warned.
Dawud Lee, 10, from Penzance, was stung by one of the creatures while playing on the sand at Perranuthnoe, West Cornwall, last week.
The Marine Conservation Society (MCS) and Cornwall Council confirmed they had received further sightings from Bude in the north of the county to Portheras Cove in the west.
Dr Peter Richardson, MCS biodiversity programme manager, said the last major stranding of the creatures was in 2009 when 60 animals were found.
"Last weekend a member of the public contacted Cornwall Council about a small number of what MCS identified as Portuguese Man O'War washed up at Portheras Cove," he added. "We then had reports of similar sightings at Summerleaze and Widemouth beaches. Our most recent reports were from Portheras on Thursday morning. With earlier strandings in Ireland, these recent sightings could herald the arrival of more of the creatures as they get blown in from the Atlantic."
Despite appearances, the Portuguese Man O'War isn't a jellyfish but a group of marine organisms which live together and behave as one animal.
Its long, blue tentacles can deliver a painful, and potentially lethal, sting. Anyone who is stung should seek medical advice. Sightings can be recorded at www.mcsuk.org.

A Marion County company that makes water systems for the fire-fighting industry is expanding. Gov. Nikki Haley's office said Aerial Options will invest $410,000 to add more space and create 13 jobs, doubling the payroll at the Mullins plant.
Founded in 2007, Aerial Options serves customers in the United States and exports its water systems to Japan, Russia, South Korea, China and Europe. Vernon J. Wissler is the CEO.
Marion County's jobless rate of 10.6 percent for February was the highest in South Carolina for the month. That compares to more than 17.2 percent a year earlier, according to the latest data from the S.C. Department of Employment and Workforce.
Most of the decline can be traced to a drop in the number of residents in the county who are either working or actively looking for jobs. That figure, known as the labor force, fell by 730 over the year. At the same time, the number of employed workers rose by 108.

Race Report
By Lindsay Piotti, Program Administrator
The Holy Cross women's rowing team faced off against Smith College and the Radcliffe lightweight squad on Sunday, March 30 in Worcester. It was another bitterly cold morning, though the wind was down and the lake fairly calm. This was the second race of the season for the Crusaders.
The women's varsity eight looked to row a more consistent race than yesterday, hoping to improve both their technique and rhythm. The video from Saturday's race proved to be quite helpful as the women executed extremely well. The unified boat truly rowed as one, relaxed and focused as they sent the boat down the course. The crusaders finished just behind the Radcliffe lightweight boat, and with a time of 6:57 they finished ahead of Smith College by 16 seconds.
While the women's second varsity eight had a solid row the day before, they looked to perform even better today against Radcliffe and Smith on Sunday. The boat achieved this goal as they improved from Saturday's race time by three seconds. The crusaders crossed the finish line second to Radcliffe's lightweight boat, with a time of 6:16.
The Crusaders' third varsity eight went head to head with Smith College in the third varsity eight race and had a great performance. The women finished with a time of 7:24.7, ahead of Smith College's 7:44.7 finish time.
The women's novice eight had worked out their nerves from their first race on Saturday and went into Sunday's race with their heads focused on their boat alone. The novice eight had a much better race, clearly learning from the piece the previous day. The boat finished second with a time of 7:51.5, falling to Radcliffe but beating Smith by 17.5 seconds.
The women's rowing race schedule does not slow down from here, next weekend they face the University of New Hampshire and Williams College on Saturday in Worcester, and the University of Massachusetts and Colgate University in Amherst on Sunday.

Books roundup
Chefs Ali Rudel (This & That Jam) and Elizabeth Turnbull (Old Havana Sandwich Shop) are gathering recipes for "Starting Fresh," a cookbook they plan to publish next year.
Recipes for "Starting Fresh" will come primarily from Rudel and Turnbull, but at least one-third of the recipes are expected to come from Durham-based chefs, food artisans and farmers, according to their press release.
The authors plan to provide references to online tutorials, profiles of local farmers and essays from Durham-area writers and journalists. Photographs will be by Durham-based photographer Annemie Tonken of Megapixie Photography.
To document the progress on the cookbook, Rudel and Turnbull have started a blog at www.startingfreshrecipes.com.
Here are some other upcoming books events:
-- Authors Michele Andrea Bowen, Beverly Mahone, Dr. Ada Fisher and Chris Shella will be the guest speakers at The Durham Business & Professional Chain's "Writer's Roundtable: Writing for Pleasure and Profit."
This free, public session will be from 6 to 8:30 p.m. Thursday at Stanford Warren Library, 1201 Fayetteville St., Durham.
-- Dana Sachs will read from and sign copies of her novel "The Secret of the Nightingale Palace" (William Morrow Trade Paperback Original, $14.99), at 7 p.m. March 6 at The Regulator Bookshop, 720 Ninth St. in Durham.
In 'Nightingale,' "workhaholic" artist Anna Rosenthal receives a call from her estranged grandmother, who asks Anna to drive her to San Francisco to return a collection of Japanese art to a friend. Sachs' narrative connects Anna's coming to terms with the recent loss of her husband with her grandmother's story of a lost friendship with a Japanese family, imprisoned during World War II.
-- Deborah Hicks, who teaches in Duke University's Program in Education and who directs an educational program for girls in Appalachia, has written a memoir of her teaching experiences, "The Road Out: A Teacher's Odyssey in Poor America" (University of California Press, $29.95). Hicks, who came from a poor family in Appalachia, began teaching in the poorest neighborhoods of Cincinnati in 2001. Her memoir focuses on the lives of some of the young women she taught. In her introductory note, Hicks writes that better educational policies for the poor "can only come from deeper understanding of these still mysterious lives." This memoir is her attempt to open readers to a few of those lives.
Hicks will discuss her memoir at 7 p.m. March 28 at Flyleaf Books, 752 Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd., Chapel Hill.
-- Sylvia Patzold will read from her novel "The Goblet," at 1 p.m. March 23 at Barnes & Noble Booksellers in New Hope Commons, Durham.
In Patzold's novel, Sarah discovers a goblet with connections to Christ during a trip to Israel.
-- David Drake, known for his science fiction and fantasy novels, will be at Circle City Books & Music Saturday for a reading and book signing. Drake is the author of more than 160 novels and short stories, in addition to co-writing many more. His most well-known work is the military sci-fi series, "Hammer's Slammers."
Drake's visit will be co-sponsored by Davenport & Winkleperry Café. The reading will be at 2 p.m. at the café, with the book signing to occur across the street at Circle City Books & Music, 121 Hillsboro St., Pittsboro. For more information, call 919-548-5954.

I had planned to say a few words about Colm Tóibín's review of Nicholson Baker's Human Smoke in this weekend's New York Times Book Review. I thought Tóibín, much less a historian than a literary man, was an interesting choice of reviewer for a book that seeks to reappraise the Second World War. My thoughts on that are summed up in the comments section at Charlottesville Words. More interesting is this colorful rant from my friend Rick:
Brendan, the review in today's New York Times on Nicholas Baker's new book brings to mind much of the reading I've been doing the past two years. It has to deal with the nature of terrorism, and in particular, state terrorism. It's easy to write about authoritarian monsters such as Hitler, Stalin, and Mao. They provide easy access to narratives that comfort our sense that we stand outside the scope of such heinous deeds.
But when I read A. N. Wilson's two-volume British history—starting with Queen Victoria's era, and covering in volume two the first fifty years of the 20th century, ending with WWII and the demise of British Empire—it was clear that previously assumed heroic figures such as Winston Churchill were anything but. He comes across as a war-mad little drunkard, a pompous class-addled ass willing to mass murder people of Mesopotamia, India, the Sind . . . you name it. That fat little fucker loved to use the British Air Force to lay waste to civilian populations, rationalized by the idea they were uncivilized.
Gore Vidal, who's work is imperfect but still impressive in scope—especially his historical saga that begins, chronologically, with Burr and ends with the Kennedy era—has similar judgments to make. Then, there's the case of James Carroll, whose recent history of the Pentagon lays more blame with the United States for the Cold War than he does the Soviet Union.
Clearly, in the work of Wilson, Vidal, and Carroll, we are not "the good guys." I believe indiscriminate use of Air Force bombing raids over civilian targets is a form of terrorism. And, I believe, our country's leaders feel a lot easier in using this kind of war. Clearly, the United States gets upset when half a dozen of our finest are killed in action. But if a thousand or who-knows-how-many are killed by indiscriminate bombing, and the major part of those people are civilians, hey, no problem.
I've never been a fan of Nicholas Baker's work. I've tried two of his novels and they didn't hold my attention. His attention to detail may be fabulous in its minutiae, but as a reader, it doesn't engross me. Guess you gotta like that kind of stuff to want to read on. I prefer a good yarn. 600 or 700 dense and detailed pages by James Carroll, with a hundred pages of endnotes, were far more engrossing. But after reading the review in today's Times, I may have to dip into Baker's latest. We need to rub our faces in our own complicity in world terror, and stop pretending that this country is beyond such perfidy.
I've read three or four of Baker's books and they did hold my attention. I continue to laugh remembering the pornographic scenes in The Fermata, and I thought Box of Matches sublime. But I'm skeptical of Human Smoke. The form is literary (hence Tóibín as a reviewer) and designed, perhaps, to invoke feeling more than thoughtful consideration. Why not write a history if yours is a historical argument? And if it is not primarily a historical argument—if it is, for instance, primarily a political argument—why couch it in history?

Read Poems by
Paula Swanson
Of late, I have been visited by memories best left alone. After which, I try to find the meaning in their visit.Was it to remind me of the past outcome?To tech me a lesson?To add more guilt to the party?Even the heavens fade from sight. But memories are forever.

and post notes and photos about your poem.
In shadow, shade and angled light,
memories echo, when given time.
They persist, though out of sight,
when even bells will loose their chime.
To torture, teach or reprimand?
Why then comes, the weathered old?
The heart and soul hold scars and brands,
when even stars burn out, turn cold.

An answer to the question of whether Air Berlin will cancel any further routes under its cost-saving Shape and Size programme will be given in the next four weeks.
As part of its bid to restore profitability, the German hybrid carrier is seeking to improve its network structure via a variety of measures.
Routes between Münster/Osnabrück and London Stansted, Vienna and Sylt in northern Germany have been scrapped, as well as flights from Cologne/Bonn to Valencia and various destinations in Morocco.
Cologne to Innsbruck, Naples and Palermo, and Hanover-London flights will no longer operate in winter.
In its next Shape and Size update, Air Berlin will say whether these cancellations are sufficient to achieve its goal of network sustainability.
Under the programme, the carrier identified network elements with poor results or little strategic importance as areas where improvements could be made to its network efficiency. Another focus was to reduce the seasonal imbalances between winter and summer flights.
Launched days after the announcement of a second-quarter operating loss of $46.1 million, Shape and Size is being implemented by the airline's interim chief executive, former Deutsche Airbus chairman Hartmut Mehdorn, who assumed the role after the resignation of Joachim Hunold.
It has also seen the carrier cut services from regional airports, which it said have become a "casualty" of the new German aviation tax.
It will focus instead on the expansion of its four hubs - in Berlin, Düsseldorf, Palma de Mallorca and Vienna.

Click on the interactive map to learn more about UN-REDD National Programmes
The UN-REDD Programme assists developing countries to prepare to implement REDD+, including the development of National REDD+ Strategies. Designed collaboratively by a broad range of stakeholders, National UN-REDD Programmes are informed by the technical expertise of FAO, UNDP and UNEP. Priority is given to developing sustainable national approaches that promote equitable outcomes and ensure that countries use reliable methodologies to assess emission reductions. The Programme currently supports 16 partner countries in Asia-Pacific. Nine countries, namely Bangladesh, Cambodia, Indonesia, Mongolia, the Philippines, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, Sri Lanka, and Viet Nam, receive direct support for their National UN-REDD Programmes.
Other UN-REDD Programme partner countries in Asia-Pacific include Bhutan, Lao PDR, Malaysia, Myanmar, Nepal, and Pakistan. These countries can benefit from receiving targeted support from the UN-REDD Programme under the Support for National Action modality. They also engage with the Programme in a number of ways, including as observers to the Programme's Policy Board, and through participation in regional workshops and unique knowledge-sharing opportunities.

We all remember Al Gore's mysterious revelation to Jay Leno that he's been feuding with Lindsay Lohan. And how could we ever forget the scorching heat constantly emanating from deep within her firecrotch? But is there such a thing as too hot? And if there is, are we ignoring the global threat this raging heat source could be posing? Well, I think the answer to all these riddles can be found in the following trailer for An Inconvenient Proposal, Al Gore's searing examination of Lindsay Lohan's menace to life on Earth as we know it:

In this section Anne emphasizes the role of the observer in writing. The first person one should observe is oneself. Anne fulfills this through sharing her own personal experiences in each chapter. An observation without judgment is based on a compassionate viewpoint. Being compassionate with one's self frees the writer to use more of their conscious minds. This leads to an examination of all facets of a person, thus creating a truer picture of the character. The multi-faceted nature allows a richer experience of even the most mundane details of life.
Anne demonstrates growth and commitment to observation through a quote kept above her writing space. The quote describes the joy of God in small and often overlooked places. In less than twenty words, through another quote Anne shares, the simple ripples on the surface of water are related to...

Canadians: No, I say again, you divert YOUR course.
Americans: This is the Aircraft Carrier US LINCOLN, the second
largest ship in the United States Atlantic Fleet. We are accompanied with three Destroyers, three Cruisers and numerous support vessels. I DEMAND that you change your course 15 degrees north. I say again, that's one-five degrees north, or counter-measures will be undertaken to ensure the safety of this ship.
Canadians: This is a lighthouse. Your call.

|Project HELP services available at Saint Francis
Grand Island, Neb. — Would you like to become a healthcare professional? Are you thinking about going back to school to get a higher-paying job in healthcare? Saint Francis Medical Center can lend a helping hand through its participation with Project HELP.
The Health Education Laddering Program (Project HELP) is a grant-funded program at Central Community College designed to remove barriers for low-income residents who wish to gain the training and skill-sets to qualify for better-paying positions in the health-care field. Saint Francis Medical Center is partner with Central Community College on this project.
Occupations include:
Part of the grant for Project HELP is partnering with community hospitals. Saint Francis Medical Center has mentors who will assist and advise participants. The program is designed not only to help the patients and the hospital, but will aid with the retention of new staff.
Project HELP can provide individualized case-management services, helping students gain access to valuable community resources and assistance to overcome barriers that could potentially interfere with a student's academic success. Students are encouraged to "ladder" up to the next level in their chosen field.
At Saint Francis Medical Center, the Project HELP case manager is Misty Peterson from Central Community College. Peterson is at Saint Francis from 9 a.m.-noon each Tuesday and is located in the Educational Services department where she is available to visit with you about how you can turn your dreams into a reality. She also will make certain that participants qualify for the program. Household incomes must be below 300 percent of the poverty level for individuals to qualify.
"We're just basically trying to help them obtain any skills or services," Peterson said. "Anything to remove barriers to help them meet their basic needs and help them be successful with the education process."
Services available include:
Saint Francis also pays up to $3,000 in tuition per calendar year for full-time employees and $1,500 per calendar year for part-time employees who take undergraduate classes related to their career development at the hospital.
"We're basically trying to provide an opportunity for anyone who comes into the hospital to job-shadowing or wants to know more about the health-care profession," said Bill Brennan, Saint Francis Grant Development coordinator. "Basically, this provides the opportunity — particularly if they qualify — to help individuals get where they want to be.
"They might be in a position where they can watch a nurse or CNA work up-close with a patient and really get an idea of what their profession is, understand it and make sure that's what they want to do."
For more information, contact Peterson via e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com or call 1-877-222-0780, Ext. 7950 or (308) 398-7950.

Brandon Banks stabbed: Banks has tube implanted in his chest
Redskins punt and kick returner Brandon Banks will remain at Howard University Hospital for at least another day with a tube in his chest to prevent his left lung collapsing, according to a report by the Washington Post. This development directly contradicts previous statements made by his agent, James Gould, that initially described Banks' injuries as "a surface knife wound on his side which will require stitches."
"He has a knife wound and a tube in his chest," Gould told the Post Tuesday. "I do know that today's X-rays were good, so I'd expect him to be released very soon. There's no sense in rushing. Taking all of the necessary precautions is very important because knife wounds are dangerous. He was knifed in the chest."
Gould made the initial statement about a "surface knife wound" on Saturday evening, hours after Banks and his friend, Christopher Lee Nixon, were rushed to separate area hospitals after being allegedly stabbed outside The Park at Fourteenth nightclub in Northwest D.C. by 24-year-old Jason Shorter. Shorter was charged with assault with a dangerous weapon and released on his own recognizance over the weekend. He is next due to appear in court on March 8. ABC7 has viewed a cell phone video taken at the scene which appears to show Banks throwing the first punch of the fight which led to the eventual stabbing. That would also contradict this part of Gould's statement from Saturday evening, in which he said that Banks was injured "while coming to the aid of a life-long friend, who was attacked by an assailant who was wielding a knife," and that "Brandon was not involved in any wrongdoing and was not implicated in any way."
Late Monday afternoon, Gould released another statement saying that Banks would remain in the hospital for "precautionary reasons and ... expected to be released within 24 hours." Attempts to reach Gould to address the differentiation in his earlier statements have so far been unsuccessful. Howard University Hospital is not releasing any information on the player's condition at this point.
According to sources who were at the Park that night but did not witness the incident, the whole thing may have begun with a crack about the clothing worn by the suspect. [A PDF of the police report can be found here]
Jasmine Henderson, who was at the Park the night of the incident, heard from more than one witness that the dispute started with a joke from Banks or a friend about the suspect's decision to wear white after Labor Day.
"It was during the let out—the club was over, obviously—and the guy from the Redskins was outside with his friend" when someone chided Shorter for wearing white, says Henderson, a blogger who reported on the incident on her site, thejasminebrand.com. "It was like a little harmless joke--I don't even think he said it loudly, but it was loud enough for [the suspect] to hear it. They went back and forth, security was involved initially, and stopped it, and then they started fighting again, and the guy started stabbing [Banks and his friend]."
Mercy Chikowore, who works for an entertainment company that threw a concert featuring soul singer Bilal earlier in the night, says that the concert crowd was extremely laid-back and that although she left the club before the incident, it was her understanding that neither Banks, his companion, nor the suspect ever entered the establishment, and that the entire incident took place on the sidewalk, as the club was closing.
Signed as an undrafted free agent out of Kansas State prior to the 2010 NFL season, Banks played in 13 games for the Redskins and recorded 1,586 total yards on punt and kickoff returns, as well as one touchdown.
Banks distinguished himself with his slashing, explosive moves on returns, not to mention a little off-the-field bravado. After a late-November game against Minnesota, he proclaimed, "When it's third down, and the defense forces them into a punt, I know every time they force them into a punt, I know I can go the distance. That's the kind of player I am. I'm a game-changer, and I feel like that's what I do for a living."

San Jose, CA (SportsNetwork.com) - Spencer Butterfield scored a game-high 22 points, shooting 6-of-8 behind the 3-point line, as the Utah State Aggies defeated the San Jose State Spartans, 75-58, in Mountain West Conference play at The Event Center.
Butterfield, who converted 7-of-12 from the floor overall for the Aggies (16-13, 6-11 MWC), added seven rebounds and three assists as USU snapped a four-game slide. Jarred Shaw logged a double-double consisting of 19 points and a game-high 17 rebounds, followed by Preston Medlin with 12 points for the visitors.
The Spartans (7-21, 1-15), losers of two straight and 15 of the last 16 decisions, were paced by DJ Brown who came of the bench to drop in 15 points. Jaleel Williams accounted for 11 points, Jalen James and Chris Cunningham 10 apiece, the latter also clearing nine rebounds in the setback. The team's leading scorer, Rashad Muhammad (13.3 ppg), finished with a mere five points on 1-of-8 shooting from the field.
Utah State scored the first points of the night and never looked back, limiting the hosts to a mere 25.9 percent shooting from the floor over the first 20 minutes, en route to a 39-28 score at the break. San Jose State also converted just 4-of-15 behind the 3-point line in the first period.
In the second half it was more of the same for the floundering SJSU offense as it connected on only nine field goals, 2-of-11 on the perimeter, as the Aggies ran away with the victory.
The Spartans shot a miserable 29.6 percent from the field and 6-of-26 beyond the arc on the night.

Last night, Fox News reported that Lisa Murkowski, defeated in the Republican primary for US Senate in Alaska, would mount an independent campaign for the seat against her GOP opponent Joe Miller and Democrat Scott McAdams. Murkowski cited a tremendous amount of support from Alaskans as a motivating factor should she decide to run, which she could only do as a write-in candidate at this stage, unless she could convince the Libertarian Party to give her their ballot line. Last month the executive board of the Libertarian Party rejected the notion, but Murkowski met with the Libertarian candidate, David Haase, on Tuesday.
A senior official in Murkowski's camp told Fox News that he "fully expects" Murkowski to launch a write-in candidacy, though she is still open to a Libertarian Party ticket run. However, the official could not offer any timetable for an announcement, noting that she could still decide to retire.
"She's keeping her own counsel on this one. As far as I know, she's told no one," the aide said.
Another source also said he expects the senator to launch a write-in candidacy and could announce her plans on Friday. Others had expected Murkowski to make an announcement on Wednesday; instead she attended a funeral in Juneau.
What's notable here is not necessarily whether or not Murkowski runs; it's the ferocity with which the Republicans have already struck back at a member of the leadership team in the Senate. Not only have they openly expressed their opposition to Murkowski running (even though polls show it would make McAdams less likely to win, not more), not only have the top PACs already started donating to Joe Miller, but Roll Call reports that Murkowski would have to give up her leadership position if she persists:
Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) will likely be forced out of her party leadership position should she decide to launch a write-in or third-party candidacy, a Senate Republican said Wednesday […]
Although Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.) and other GOP leaders have not yet formally discussed what to do if Murkowski does run, the Senate Republican said there is likely no scenario in which she would be allowed to remain Republican Conference vice chairwoman.
According to this source, Murkowski could simply resign her position, or McConnell and other leaders could press her to resign. The conference could also formally vote to strip Murkowski of her leadership mantle.
All the sources are anonymous, which is a bit cowardly, but none of them equivocated whatsoever. "She's an adult. She lost the race," said one senior GOP aide. [cont'd.]
Now, if Murkowski actually does this and wins, she would likely be welcomed back into the Republican caucus, especially if the numbers in the Senate are close. It would be interesting to see what would happen with her seniority and her Natural Resources Committee chairmanship. But clearly, the Republican leadership is trying to force her out of the race right now, and going public with it to boot.
And think back to 2006. Not only did no member of the Democratic leadership even think about stripping Joe Lieberman of his seniority when he lost his primary, but several Senators openly supported his third-party run. And Ned Lamont's support from the party and the Senate leadership was tepid at best.
It's the old story. National Republicans are either afraid of their base or a part of it, and either way they openly align with it; National Democrats are contemptuous of theirs.

Read Poems by
Jim Joyce
Thick rain soaked clouds came floating by on sullen grey skies
Branches swayed and leaves waved, tied
In unison with the whipping wind
The rains came soft and gentle ,one by one, floating
among an endless series of soft humid waves
Puffs of dust kick up as rain hits the ground ,
the enticing smell of the brown clean earth pervades all around
The ponds break into endless circles of tiny drops
Sliding down branches , dripping from leaves, running down the darkened bark, plopping
In the silent air ,Soaking the ground into soft muddy earth, healing cracks, soft like dew
the rains speak their true voice and intent without a clue
becoming pounding and insistent ,angry and relentless, as one by one they beat the ground
And the cycle comes full circle ,around and around
Cool air from atop the sky filters down through hot steamy mist
wind driven clouds form funny ominous shapes in the sky
Bending and twisting to keep up with their fierce and relentless brother
Throwing countless drops down onto the clean brown earth
The Angry winds and warm drops count their times to hit the ground
Covering forest and field alike taming the long forgotten dust
that became the earth following the season of drought
Lightning burns across the sky and crashes among the giant embers standing wet, black and gleaming
Stark and ancient they stand tall and straight , silhouetted against the angry sky
The rain comes in sheets of grey , pouring out of the heavens
In a thunderous wave that threatened to sweep clean the skies

Shumlin touts transparency gainsBy DAVE GRAM
The Associated Press | April 10,2014MONTPELIER Gov. Peter Shumlin said Wednesday he didnt get many top grades in school, so he was glad to receive an A from a national group grading states on government transparency.
Shumlin, a Democrat, then had to correct himself, learning during his news conference that Vermont actually had received an A-minus from the U.S. Public Interest Research Group for online reporting of its financial data. That was up from an F in 2010, the year before Shumlin took office. Vermont tied seven other states for the best grade; none got an A.
Shumlin praised the work of the state Agency of Administration and Department of Finance and Management in making the improvements.
Weve made great strides over the past few years to increase transparency, and Im thankful for their efforts, the governor said.
But Shumlin also made clear that he believes transparency has its limits. He said he would not release a full weekly schedule of his activities, including whom he has met during his travels as chairman of the Democratic Governors Association. His office makes public a weekly schedule that lists public events in Vermont and broad information about what city hes traveling to and for how long during his out-of-state travels.
And Shumlin defended his administrations recent denial of a lawmakers public records request for documents connected with the development of Green Mountain Care, the universal, publicly funded health care system expected to launch in 2017. A 2011 law setting a path to universal health care called for the administration to release a proposed financing plan by January 2013. Fifteen months later, it has yet to do so.
Shumlin said he would not make public any documents related to development of the financing plan until a completed proposal is ready for public release.
Its hard to be transparent about things that youre not ready to do because you havent figured it out, he said.
The U.S. Public Interest Research Group report praised Vermont for development of the website www.spotlight.vermont.gov. The site contains budget documents, information on state contracts and grants, and a range of other financial data.
Paul Burns, executive director of the Vermont Public Interest Research Group, praised the state for its efforts.
Gov. Shumlin and his team have made a real commitment to improving public access to information about government spending, he said.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER The state Public Service Board on Friday announced it would fine Vermont Gas Systems...
