Mackenzie School
The Mackenzie School of Speech and Drama is a Cambridge-based independent school specialising in vocal technical and exam work.
Design a logo and website using WordPress.
The school had never had a logo in its 90 year history. The logo must appeal to both drama school students and corporate clients. It needed to be both modern and traditional. There were several rounds of ideas, using traditional 'drama' school iconic elements such as comedy/tragedy masks, spotlights, stage and people.
The final design (below) was encorporated into the website design mockups at an early stage to ensure cohesion.
To Sew Arnott To Sew
To design a new logo, business cards and social media graphics.
- A new logo to illustrate their new business – pretty, practical gifts and accessories for all the family.
- "Brights, but not garish, simple and clean."
"Getting my logo designed by Karen Arnott was a great experience. Karen took on board all my specifications and came up with several options for me to choose from. Communication was great, quick and precise and Karen was excellent at explaining things to me and making recommendations from a professional point of view. I have had several comments on my logo – it has been the best asset to my new business."
Clare Arnott – To Sew Arnott To Sew.
To design a new logo, business cards and website.
- A new logo to illustrate their business – luxury serviced accommodation in Cambridge.
"Karen understood our requirements immediately, and in no time had designed our website. The end result exceeded our expectations — a clean, fresh and professional design which has received very positive feedback."
Chris Lane, Camstay
Seeing More Clearly
To design a new logo and WordPress theme.
A new logo to illustrate "insight, clear thinking, focus", possibly with a bird of prey, to include the initials of the company – SMC.
Aviation Emissions Solutions
To design a new logo and WordPress theme.
A new logo to illustrate their industry, while remaining clear and readable at various sizes.
"Karen took great trouble to understand our rather hazy set of requirements, and came up with a fantastic product of which we are very pleased. Friendly and approachable but always extremely professional, we have no hesitation in offering our strongest recommendation for both her design and technical expertise."
Chris Johnson, Aviation Emissions Solutions
To design a mandala-style logo that depicts many aspects of 'Shazzie".
"How can I thank you enough for the beautiful web site you designed for me? You captured the whole of me in your design for Shazzie.com. I'm quite convinced that Shazzie.com is the most wonderful web site in the world. Thank you a billion times."
Bouldon Mill
To design a logo that encompasses all that Bouldon Mill do.
Using the description of the sanctuary provided by the owners, alongside photographs of the mill and its surround, design a logo in both round and square format.
Round format logo
Square format logo
Gingham Kids Nanny Agency
To design a logo for a brand-new local nanny agency
- To appeal to busy families, who are seeking quality bespoke childcare arrangements
- To include some imagery that encompasses 'family' and 'fun'

|Key Info
Ca'n Llimoner is situated in the beautiful Mediterranean village of Deia, famous for its picture postcard stone built houses with terracotta roofs. The heart of Deia clusters around the romantic 13th century Church of St John the Baptist built atop a rugged hill which provides stunning views of the sea across olive groves clinging to precariously steep terraces. On a peaceful side of the village, away from any road noise is villa Ca'n Llimoner; with magnificent panoramic views across the mountains, village, church and the Mediterranean Sea. Being one of few houses in the village to have a private swimming pool, Ca'n Llimoner is the ultimate place to relax, unwind and savour the Mallorcan lifestyle. The villa has been luxuriously finished. Throughout there is a traditional Mallorcan style with high ceilings, wooden beams, white walls, real fireplace and cool and easy terracotta floors. Recently completely refurbished and redecorated with beautiful furniture and fixtures, the villa is an oasis of both calm and comfort, inside and out. Exceptionally well equipped to provide you with every home comfort, Ca'n Llimoner has a boutique five star feel.The accommodation comprises of an extremely comfortable, light and airy sitting room, spacious dining room, and well-equipped large kitchen-breakfast room. There is a downstairs cloakroom, three beautifully furnished bedrooms (all ensuite and air conditioned), including one bedroom on the ground floor for easy access. The Master bedroom has a luxury bathroom with 'wet room' walk in shower. There is also a private balcony with seating off the Master bedroom with captivating views to the Church. There are French doors out from the kitchen and dining room onto the shaded terrace – a perfect place to dine.Cots and highchairs are available on request. There is on street parking freely available (very precious in Deia); however the villa is perfectly located for the village shops and restaurants which are only a short stroll away, so the house is ideal for guests who do not wish to use a car during their stay. Ca'n Llimoner has a private swimming pool and picturesque terraces again with lovely views of the mountains and the sea. There are six sun loungers and two parasols, gas BBQ and a large outside dining table to accommodate eight people. From just outside the entrance to the house you can pick up the infamous scenic coastal footpath which takes you to the village beach, Cala Deia which is 20 minutes' rugged walk away, down a long cobbled donkey pathway. The beach restaurant is popular with locals and visitors, as is the rest of Deia with a huge range of sublime places to dine. From the humble village café (our favourite) to the world famous La Residencia or the Michelin starred Sebastian's.Unfortunately changes made to European satellite settings by UK and Spanish TV have resulted in weaker signals for British Sky TV channels in Mallorca. To counterbalance this we have installed a larger satellite dish, but signals are still prone to weakness and we cannot guarantee that satellite TV will be available at all times. Regretfully this is totally out of our control. Inclement weather and heavy cloud over the mountains can also affect the signal and occasionally the Sky signal will scramble temporarily. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.

The Balearic Islands region
The name of Deia (or Deya) comes from the time of the Moorish conquest of Mallorca, back in the 10th-13th centuries. The Muslims called the area 'Ad-Daya' which means 'village'. They were the ones who created the terraced irrigation systems that allowed the steep hillsides to be cultivated. Olive trees flourished up to an altitude of 600 metres, and today cover much of the hillsides above the town.
Deia has famously attracted artists, musicians and those in search of a bohemian lifetsyle since the 19th century. The Archduke Luis Salvador of Austria was so captivated by the area that he purchased several estates - Miramar, Son Marroig - which host annual festivals & concerts and are open to the public. Robert Graves was a famous resident, and his house Ca N'Alluny has been turned into a beautiful village museum and gardens for the public to enjoy.
Deia is situated on Mallorca's North West Coast, about 35 minutes drive from Palma Airport. The pretty village of Valldemossa is 10 km south of Deia, whilst Soller with its quaint tram running through the town down to the port and also direct to Palma, is 10 km to the north. The village of Deia is unique with a natural beauty and charm unchanged by time. Surrounded by olive and citrus groves, the area has attracted artists and romantics for many years; the poet Robert Graves, and many celebrities to this day, including Andrew Lloyd Webber, Richard Branson and Michael Douglas. There are many restaurants and bars to choose from, including 'El Olivo' at the famous La Residencia Hotel in the centre of the village. Cala Deia is a small unspoilt cove within walking distance of the house, about 5 minutes by car. Ideal for swimming, and with its rustic fish restaurant perched on the cliff overlooking the bay, perfect for a relaxed lunch. Deia is a self contained world, once there you feel little inclination to leave!
Unfortunately changes made to European satellite settings by UK and Spanish TV have resulted in weaker signals for British Sky TV channels in Mallorca. To counterbalance this we have installed a larger satellite dish, but signals are still prone to weakness and we cannot guarantee that satellite TV will be available at all times.

The College of Health and Human Development
Center for Health Care and Policy Research
American Journal of Managed Care, 2013
In this study authors measure the effect of electronic medical records (EMRs) on a publicly reported composite measure indicating optimal diabetes care (ODC) rates in ambulatory settings.
Health Services Research, 2013
The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of public reporting (PR) and financial incentives tied to quality performance on the use of care management practices (CMPs) among small- and medium-sized physician groups.
Health Services Research, 2012
In this article authors examine how the relationship between patient characteristics, patient experience with the health care system, and overall satisfaction with care varies with illness complexity.
American Journal of Managed Care, 2012
Purposes of this study were: (1) to describe how 14 multi-stakeholder alliances participating in the Aligning Forces for Quality (AF4Q) initiative approached the charge of improving healthcare delivery at the community level between 2006 and 2010; and (2) to offer insights to policy makers and program planners seeking to promote or establish communitywide quality improvement (QI).
Health Affairs, 2012
Many health policy leaders are promoting the community as a place to try out new ideas for improving the quality of health care. Alliances with multiple stakeholders are moving forward with communitywide efforts to improve the quality of care without the benefit of an established evidence base or guiding framework. This article presents a profile of one community's attempt to facilitate and coordinate quality improvement in its geographic area. The P2 Collaborative of Western New York is one of sixteen sites supported by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation's national Aligning Forces for Quality initiative. The strategy and vision of the collaborative has evolved as it has tried to capitalize on opportunities and overcome barriers in its work. The article concludes with a discussion of eight tasks that community alliances may consider undertaking when establishing an infrastructure for improving the quality of health care, such as convening area stakeholders to develop a strategy and finding ways to monitor health outcomes at the local level on an ongoing basis.
The Milbank Quarterly, 2011
Information is limited regarding the readiness of primary care practices to make the transformational changes necessary to implement the patient-centered medical home (PCMH) model. Using comparative, qualitative data, we provide practical guidelines for assessing and increasing readiness for PCMH implementation.
Health Affairs, 2011
The patient-centered medical home has become a prominent model for reforming the way health care is delivered to patients. The model offers a robust system of primary care combined with practice innovations and new payment methods. But scant information exists about the extent to which typical US physician practices have implemented this model and its processes of care, or about the factors associated with implementation. In this article we provide the first national data on the use of medical home processes such as chronic disease registries, nurse care managers, and systems to incorporate patient feedback, among 1,344 small and medium-size physician practices. We found that on average, practices used just one-fifth of the patient centered medical home processes measured as part of this study. We also identify internal capabilities and external incentives associated with the greater use of medical home processes.

After election day most of us heard that Prop 37, the initiative to label GMO foods failed to gather enough support to get a majority vote at the ballot box, and after that it more or less disappeared from the news altogether.
However, this announcement was made prematurely and all of the votes were never actually counted. Now, as the Dec 14 deadline for the turn in of the votes approaches, more evidence of voter fraud is coming to light.
According to Food Democracy Now: "Right now the votes for Prop 37 to label genetically engineered foods are still being counted. On Tuesday morning, Dec 4th, Prop 37 hit 6,004,628 votes on the California Secretary of State's website, but this tally was quickly reversed within an hour of being publicized by Food Democracy Now!
At the same time, Food Democracy Now! has learned that a team of independent statisticians have detected "statistical anomalies" in the largest precincts of 9 counties, including Orange, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Alameda and San Diego counties."

Who would vote 'no' anyway? That's just illogical. Only good can come from voting yes.

i like the verbal slip-up in the title ... absence can sing some songs, i guess, though
sad ones?
sad ones yeah ... or we wouldn't call the feeling "absence", we would call it "tranquility" instead
Nicely ephemeral..
superb work Alice.
Slow shutter?
absence is emptiness

Very interesting picture. Is it a manip or a slow shutter speed shot?

Meaning of 'teacher'
A 'teacher' is a person who delivers an educational program, assesses student participation in an educational program, and/or administers or provides consistent and substantial leadership to an educational program.
The teaching must be in a school or in another setting delivering an educational program prescribed under the Education (Queensland College of Teachers) Act 2005. This requires the educational program to be based on a syllabus or kindergarten guideline approved or accredited by the Queensland Curriculum and Assessment Authority (QCAA).
This means for example:
- teaching in a recognised school in in Australia
- teaching the QCAA Kindergarten Learning Guideline or C&K Building Waterfalls kindergarten guideline with the Pre-Prep year (i.e. with 3½ to 4 ½ year old students)
- working as a non-teaching Principal
- working as an advisory teacher (time spent in school only).
For renewal of registration purposes see also Recency of practice.

Simon Gagne hasn't exactly been a picture of health the past few seasons. His first year with the Los Angeles Kings pretty much summed up why we aren't expecting to see too much more hockey out of the 32-year-old.
The knock on Gagne has always been that he can't stay health. Mainly dealing with concussion issues, Gagne hasn't appeared in more than 63 games but once since the 2007-2008 season. When he's on the ice, Gagne is a very talented offensive player. It's that "on the ice" thing that's the problem, and the Kings certainly could have used the presence of a healthy Simon Gagne last year.
Gagne appeared in just 34 games in the regular season last year, but wasn't particularly effective, with only 17 points on the year. He did manage to return to the playoffs and play four games in the postseason, but he wasn't much of a factor there, either.
Given what we've seen from Gagne the past few seasons, even before he landed in Hollywood, you do have to wonder if he'll be able to contribute much to the Kings' title defense this season.
As of right now, Gagne says he is completely healthy. He had a health scare early in the summer with a mass in his neck, but that has been removed, elaving Gagne with almost a full summer to get completely healthy.
With a team that just won a Stanley Cup, and has their entire team returning, it's going to be tough for Gagne to make his mark, especially given that the Kings performed so well without him last year. But there will be no shortage of folks pulling for Simon Gagne to come back strong in '12-'13.
He may not play at the level at which he scored 40 goals twice, but a full summer should give him time to get healthy and come on strong with the Kings in 2012.

Chocolate Raspberry Cupcakes Recipe
These cupcake are so amazing that people have been know to inhale them in two bites. But, most prefer to savor each decadent morsel. They can be kept in the fridge for about a week and in the freezer for a month.—Kim Bejot, Ainsworth, Nebraska
- 1 cup baking cocoa
- 2 cups boiling water
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 2-1/2 cups sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons cold strong brewed coffee
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2-3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup seedless raspberry jam
- 1 can (13.66 ounces) coconut milk
- 1 package (12 ounces) dark chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup butter, cubed
- 1/3 cup confectioners' sugar
- 2 tablespoons coffee liqueur
- Toasted coconut
- 1. In a small bowl, combine cocoa and water; set aside to cool.
- 2. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in coffee and vanilla. Combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with cocoa mixture, beating well after each addition.
- 3. Fill paper-lined muffin cups two-thirds full. Drop jam by teaspoonfuls into center of each cupcake. Bake at 350° for 18-23 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the cake portion comes out clean.
- 4. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely. Spread 1/2 teaspoon jam over each cupcake.
- 5. For frosting, spoon 1 cup cream from top of coconut milk and place in a small saucepan. Bring just to a boil; remove from the heat. Add chocolate chips; whisk until smooth. Stir in the butter, confectioners' sugar and coffee liqueur. Refrigerate for 1-1/2 hours or until chilled.

Creeper Valentine Action Figure
by mortinus, published
Thing Info
This mini figure is perfect for your desktop just in time for valentines day. Put it there to remind yourself that somewhere out there, there's a creeper that loves you.
Designed to be assembled, this creeper has 5 points of articulation. Wow!
Designed to be printed with no support! These joint pins are 18 sided polygons for the "indexed" feel.
I changed the name from statue to action figure because...it moves!
Printing Instructions:
Pins: Solid (100% Infill) {edit Added as separate .stl for those slicers that can't separate}
Head: 3 shells, 20% Infill
Torso: 3 shells, 20% Infill
Legs: 1 shell, 50% Infill
5 points of articulation are:
Front Left Leg
Front Right Leg
Rear Left Leg
Rear Right Leg
The creeper statuette measures approximately 4.65 inches overall fully assembled.
My printer could not make the leg pins successfully. I purchased a small pack of Brads/Escutcheon Pins: Size 3/4" x 14 Item # 532628 from Hillman Group. I then pressed these into the torso; the legs stay GREAT. You might need to drill the hole in the torso deeper depending on your infill %.
I will be modifying this in the future to fix this as I get more knowledge into slip fits and how to make small versions of pins that actually hold. I'll look into something such as the gear heart pins.

Very awesome! Could you add a "regular" creeper head to make a standard creeper action figure? I'm printing this for my son for Valentine's day - just mushy enough for a teenager...
Yes sir I'd be happy to. Give me just a few minutes to model it.

ABSTRACT: NMR methods can be used to determine the structures of membrane proteins. Lipids can be chosen so that protein-containing micelles, bicelles, or bilayers are available as samples. All three types of samples can be aligned weakly or strongly, depending on their rotational correlation time. Solution NMR methods can be used with weakly aligned micelle and small bicelle samples. Solid-state NMR methods can be used with mechanically aligned bilayer and magnetically aligned bicelle samples.

ABSTRACT: Virus protein "u" (Vpu) contributes to the virulence of HIV-1 infections of humans by enhancing the production and release of progeny virus particles. Its biological activities are associated with the two distinct structural domains of the protein. Since the entire polypeptide consists of only 81 amino acid residues, each of the biological activities is associated with a relatively small and well-defined structural entity. This suggests that the three-dimensional structure of the protein will lead to a detailed understanding of its biological functions, and potentially to the identification of small molecules that act as drugs by interfering with its functions (Miller and Sarver, 1997) as has been done for other HIV-1 encoded proteins (Turner and Summers, 1999; Wlodawer, 2002). The many structure determinations of HIV protease alone and complexed with inhibitors led to the development of the highly effective drugs that are a mainstay of current therapy for AIDS (Erickson and Burt, 1996; Vondrasek et al., 1997). Even though the protease is about 20% larger than Vpu, its structure was determined very soon after its discovery (Navia et al., 1989; Wlodawer et al., 1989), while the structure of Vpu is yet to be determined. The reasons that Vpu has not followed quickly in the path of protease have their roots in the most fundamental aspects of experimental structural biology and biochemistry. Vpu is a helical membrane protein, and it requires the presence of lipids and water to adopt its native functional structure. The lipids interfere with the formation of crystals for X-ray diffraction as well as the preparation of samples suitable for multidimensional solution NMR spectroscopy. In contrast, protease is a globular, soluble protein well suited for experimental structure determination by both X-ray crystallography and

Welcome back, and keep the queries coming.
Today's comes from Dennis Smythe, who is quick to the point-and-click each week:
Q: At the risk of sounding facetious, what does Broncos coach Josh McDaniels see in Kyle Orton that makes him want Orton as his starting quarterback? I understand Orton is popular with his teammates, and he appears to be physically tough and able to play in pain. Other than that, the game tape indicates Orton is immobile, relatively weak-armed, not particularly accurate and doesn't necessarily demonstrate "veteran QB savvy" with his decision-making (taking sacks at the wrong time, often locking in on one receiver, etc).
Denver Broncos
- Find analysis and notes from the gridiron and locker room on the All Things Broncos blog.
- Ask Mike Klis about the team or NFL in the Broncos Mailbag.
- Evaluate the latest team numbers on the Broncos Stats Page.
- Post photos of your team spirit.
Fans, sign up now for Broncos Premium, our website offering don't-miss news, analysis and features only available to registered users. It's free!
A: Both sides of the arguments about Orton, including those involving people in personnel offices throughout the NFL, have valid points.
Orton doesn't have the arm strength of some other quarterbacks in the league, and he takes some sacks from time to time (he took 27 sacks in 465 pass attempts last season). And the sack he took late in the game Sunday likely cost the Broncos a chance at a field goal and brings a lot of those thoughts to the forefront.
All of those things are well-documented.
Here in Denver, the chief criticism at the moment is he's not Jay Cutler. And he's not going to be. Some people don't believe he can reach the level of Jake Plummer in 2005, but that's really the model for him.
Mike Shanahan asked Plummer to be a low-risk quarterback that season, to manage victory rather than risk losses with his decisions.
Orton was chosen as a starter because of decision-making through the week in the offseason. Monday through Friday gets you on the field for Sunday. That's how it works.
Orton has made the right decisions much of the time when he has worked in practices. The Broncos' current administration believed the team turned the ball over too much with Cutler and has always had that issue high on its priority list.
So with all of the warts Sunday, including a near interception that would have ended the game for the Broncos before their late touchdown had the Bengals defender come down inbounds, Denver would point to no turnovers by Orton on Sunday. He is being asked to manage games. That's what the Broncos want from him right now — someone to make good decisions, to limit mistakes and not force the ball.
The three interceptions at San Francisco in the Broncos' preseason opener and the two in the scrimmage during training camp are still fresh in people's minds. But for the most part, Orton was, in McDaniels' mind, the safest pick to start.
He's also the guy who was in the Cutler trade, so to not play him would be a rather big admission at this point that the deal didn't bring the Broncos their starter in return to go with the two No. 1 picks.
That may not be what folks believe the benchmark should be. But that's where the Broncos are right now, pointing to Orton's 22-12 record in NFL starts and saying that overpowers the rest.

Get ready for your retirement

Editor's Note: This content was originally published on
by Todd Shriber, ETF Professor, Benzinga Staff Writer.
Knowing that folks are passionate about certain issues, let's just
clear one thing up right away.
What follows is a look at some country-specific
that track stocks in nations with female heads of state. No more,
no less. This is not a commentary on gender or any related issue.
That stuff is best left to certain mainstream media organizations.
Around here, the goal is to find profitable opportunities with
ETFs, domestic and foreign. When it comes to those ex-US,
single-country funds, politics in those countries are important.
However, the gender of the leader is not.
That said, isolating a group of noteworthy country-specific ETFs
where women are in charge is not difficult. A similar exercise was
at the end of last year
and we merely wanted to check up on how some of those ETFs have
been performing this year while adding some new ones to the list.
Global X FTSE Argentina 20 ETF
Argentine President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner is arguably to
blame for much of her country's economic woes such as slowing
growth, soaring inflation and an albeit diminished flirtation with
a second sovereign debt default this century. However, no one in
their right mind should blame her for ARGT undergoing a
reverse split earlier this year
Regime change in Argentina could help the country realize its vast
economic potential and be a boon for ARGT at the same time. The ETF
is down 11.4% year-to-date.
iShares MSCI Brazil Capped Index Fund
To be fair to Kirchner, she is not the only South American female
leader having a rough go of things this year. Brazilian President
Dilma Rousseff, once wildly popular, is dealing with one of the
most stunning reversals in recent memory of an emerging market
going from darling to devil in short order.
At this point, it really is akin to beating a dead horse, but
Brazil, Latin America's largest economy, is being hit from all
angles. That list includes
a plunging currency, rising unemployment and high
interest rates
that the central bank has used, to no avail, to stem inflation.
Regardless of the gender of Brazil's current leader, recent
anti-government protests prove ordinary Brazilians are disenchanted
with the direction their country is moving in. Investors are as
well as EWZ is down 18% in just the past month.
iShares MSCI South Korea Capped Index Fund
This year will be Park Geun-hye's first full year as South Korea's
first female president. Her timing was bad. In fact, it should be
noted that South Korea's problems have essentially been created by
leaders in other countries. Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and
Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke are men and guess what the
two biggest risks to South Korea's economy are. The weak yen and
the end of US quantitative easing. Heading into the start of
trading Thursday, EWY was down 11.6% in the past month, but the ETF
is up 3.5% today after South Korea boosted its 2013 GDP growth
estimate to 2.7% from 2.3%.
Other year-to-date returns for ETFs tracking countries with female
iShares MSCI Australia Index Fund
(NYSEARCA:EWA), though Julia Gillard was ousted Wednesday, down
8.7%. The
iShares MSCI Germany Index Fund
(NYSEARCA:EWG) is up 0.6% while the
iShares MSCI Thailand Investable Market Index Fund
(NYSEARCA:THD) is down 5.5%.

Conference Weekend Predictions.
|Published by Matt Marcoccia
Feb 22nd 2013, 2:00am | 13304 views
This weekend is the majority of conference meets throughout the NCAA. With many throwers trying to qualify for indoor nationals this weekend is one of their last chances to do so. With so much on the line you can expect to see some big throws. Going through a majority of the conference will be CollegeHammer's predictions of the top 3 in both the men and women.
Men- Virginia Tech has been dominating the weight throw for several years now in the ACC along with the NCAA. Expect a 1-2-3 finish for them and 24 points for Virginia Tech.
1) Alexander Zeigler. Virginia Tech.
2) Tomas Kruzliak. Virginia Tech
3) Denis Mahmic. Virginia Tech
Women- The biggest battle in the women's weight will be for second and third as Celmson's Brittney Waller is over 2.5m ahead of her closest challenger. The second to fifth ranked throwers in the ACC are all clipping at each other's heels so expect a close event.
1) Brittney Waller. Clemson
2) Nicole Chavis. North Carolina State.
3) Briana Cherry-Bronson. Florida State
Big 12
Men- The Big12 hasn't been strong in the weight this year compared to the shot. This leaves the door open for Oklahoma State's Nick Miller. He is well ahead of the field and should easily win. But Texas has the most depth in the weight and if their 3 throwers score it will really help their chances of winning a team title.
1) Nick Miller. Oklahoma State
2) Clint Harris. Texas
3) Hayden Baillio. Texas
Women- On the women's side Alena Krechyk of Kansas has had the biggest throw this year with 21.76m (71'4.75") and a win for her will really help a strong Kansas squad with their chances of a team title. But Erin Atkinson of Baylor and Laishema Hampton of Iowa State have both had strong seasons and will be looking for the upset.
1) Alena Krechyk. Kansas
2) Erin Atkinson. Baylor
3) Laishema Hampton. Iowa State
Men- The BigTen has been hands down the deepest conference for big throws in the weight. With 8 throwers over 20m and 5 of them over 21m and several more just outside the 20m mark this will be the best competition other than indoor nationals. With everyone so close it's all going to come down to who is on this weekend and who can handle the pressure.
1) Antonio James. Michigan State
2) Micah Hegerle. Minnesota
3) Jon Lehman. Minnesota
Women- The women's side has been similar to the men. With 3 women over 21m separated by less than 50cm. But with the depth of this field anyone who makes the finals can easily make this an interesting event.
1) Beth Rohl. Michigan State
2) Taylor Smith. Wisconsin
3) Dani Bunch. Purdue.
Missouri Valley
Men- This conference has been a sleeper conference in the throws. With the nation's best mark coming from Brandon Pounds of Indiana State and the deep field of throwers from Southern Illinois and Northern Iowa this will be an interesting competition.
1) Brandon Pounds. Indiana State
2) Bradley Sauer. Southern Illinois
3) Isaac Twombly. Drake
Women- Similar to the men's side the nation's top mark is in the Missouri Valley and from Indiana State as well. Felisha Johnson has a good grasp on the lead with a top throw of 23.06m (75'8") but Brittany Smith of Illinois State isn't too far behind with a mark of 21.51m (70'7"). It should be a battle between Johnson and Smith to see who takes the win.
1) Felisha Johnson. Indiana State
2) Brittany Smith. Illinois State
3) Kim Fortney. Southern Illinois
Men- The SEC is very tight the top 5 throwers are all separated by less than a meter making this anyone's win. Jeremy Postin and David Triassi from Florida are sitting one and two and come with the most experience which could easily give them the edge this weekend. But that's not a guarantee since the field is so tight.
1) Jeremy Postin. Florida
2) David Triassi. Florida
3) Elias Hakansson. Alabama
Women- This field is much deeper than the men's but has a clear leader with Denise Hinton from LSU. Her throw of 21.57m (70'9.25") gives her the title of favorite this weekend. But with a field this tight and deep it could be very close and entertaining.
1) Denise Hinton. LSU
2) Jayla Bostic. Florida
3) Jazmin Miller. Mississippi

Southeast Region
Grant Highlight
Southeast Regional Council supports Project HOPE Center in Lamar with a $100,000 grant
The Southeast Regional Council is focused on youth education and development. By providing a 4100,000 grant to The Project HOPE (Health, Opportunity, Prevention, Education) Center, the Council supported the critical services.afterschool programming efforts to Lamar's youth in 3rd – 12th grades. Project HOPE strives to building community for a better tomorrow in Lamar, Colorado; a rural town of 9,000 people east of Pueblo. In partnership with Lamar School District, Project HOPE provides an afterschool program for youth, families and community members in Prowers County. Dedicated to providing "Health – for life long wellness, Opportunity – for positive experiences, Prevention – of risky behaviors, and Education – academic support for immediate and future success of students and their families," the HOPE Center plays a critical role in ensuring all residents in Lamar County receive adequate support required to thrive. Support from the Southeast Council has made it possible for the HOPE Center to continue to grow and become not only a service for Lamar students, but for the entire community.
The HOPE Center provides healthy active living classes, opportunities for students to restore donated bikes, and just safe and fun place to be for an average of 150 youth per day, with almost 50 of those students electing to stay until 8:00p.m. In an effort to expand beyond an afterschool tutoring program to a center serving the entire community, the HOPE Center provides adult ESL classes, hosts a youth leadership program, offers a diabetes class facilitated by High Plains Community Health Center for Spanish speaking families, and teaches a Fit Family Challenge class. The HOPE Center also emphasizes the value of giving back by partnering with "Share the Spirit" and involving their young clients in programs to provide shoes for kids, hosting a community Chili Supper fundraiser, crafting thanksgiving cards for the local nursing home residents, and volunteering with "Toys for Tots." The success of the HOPE Center is illustrated by the inspiring anecdotes told by students. One youth captures the true essence of what this place means; "The HOPE Center is like my home. I help out friends. If I see trash, I pick it up. I help out as much as I can."
El Pomar Foundation is a proud supporter and partner of this organization committed to building a community for a better tomorrow; serving as a model of community collaboration and partnerships. The focus of Lori Hammer, Executive Director of the HOPE Center, and her staff is the well-being of each and every individual who attends the HOPE Center, striving to help them be successful, well-rounded, and engaged individuals.

Order increase helps February PMI rebound
After slipping in January, index finds solid footing with a jump back to 53.2%
Even with a slowdown in production and the continuing harsh winter throughout most of the country, the monthly manufacturing PMI Index showed a 1.9 percentage point
increase in February to 53.2%. The index has fallen in January to an eight-month low of 51.3%, but the February increase kept the PMI's winning streak intact with nine straight months of growth, and the index has been at or above the 50.0% level for more than a year.
"As in January, several comments from the panel mention adverse weather conditions as a factor impacting their businesses in February," said Bradley J. Holcomb, chair of the Institute for Supply Management Manufacturing Business Survey Committee, which creates the PMI report. "Other comments reflect optimism in terms of demand and growth in the near term."
New orders rose 3.3 percentage points to 53.3%. It was the ninth straight month of growth for new orders, and reversed a slip similar to the overall PMI in January.
Other than the weather, the big concern in the PMI data in February was the fall in the production index. That dropped below the growth
threshold for the first time in 17 months to 48.2%. That was a decrease of 6.6 percentage points from January. Apparel and leather goods were among the categories with production declines, while bellwethers such as food, heavy machinery and automotive did post production increases in the month.
Among the comments from PMI panel members were:
- "Cold weather is having a negative impact on our business (garment). Orders are down."(Apparel, Leather & Allied Products)
- "Continue to have trouble finding qualified CNC machinists. Desperately trying to hire CNC programmers." (Fabricated Metal Products)
- "Bad weather hampering logistics across the country." (Petroleum & Coal Products)
- "Very strong month in terms of growth." (Computer & Electronic Products)
- "Many raw material disruptions due to weather and back-ups at the ports." (Chemical Products)
- ""Slow January, but February orders are picking up." (Food, Beverage &Tobacco Products)
- "Conservative optimism re-kindling. Steady as it goes." (Machinery)
The PMI remains the strongest indicator of overall economic growth. For the 57th straight month, the PMI was above the 43.2% growth level for the overall economy. Holcomb said this month's PMI indicates a growth rate of 3.3% in GDP for the year.

Annual Salary Survey
After almost a decade of uncertainty, the confidence of plant floor managers is soaring. Even with a number of challenges and while implementing new technologies, there is a renewed sense of optimism among plant managers about their business and their future.
The respondents to the 2014 Plant Engineering Salary Survey come from throughout the U.S. and serve a variety of industries, but they are uniform in their optimism about manufacturing. This year's survey found 79% consider manufacturing a secure career. That's up from 75% in 2013 and significantly higher than the 63% figure when Plant Engineering first started asking that question a decade ago.

Year in Review
Just a few weeks into the spring semester at Indiana University, we thought we might reflect on the past year, what we have accomplished, and how we hope to grow in the current investment cycle. 2013 in the U.S. was characterized by a near war with Syria, the out rolling of the Affordable Care Act, a 16-day government shutdown that nearly forced a default on U.S. debt, a Twitter IPO and many stock market records. Despite the ups and downs of the market, Virtu finished the 2013 investment cycle with a 36% return on investment. Tesla, Cummins, Disney, CVS, and the MannKind Corporation were just a few elements of our diverse portfolio that contributed to a successful outcome.
So, how did these investments translate into donations for Timmy Global Health? To date, Virtu-related donations to Timmy total approximately $3,600. This donation is coming to Timmy during an incredible period of growth for the Indianapolis non-profit. Through a gift-matching campaign with Focusing Philanthropy, Timmy raised over $100,000 and is doing more than ever to combat global health disparity. To learn more about Timmy Global Health, visit timmyglobalhealth.org and check out the 2012-2013 Annual Report.
In addition to a successful investment cycle, Virtu brought on 19 LAMP sophomores and juniors as Associates, our largest group yet. The group began the Investment Curriculum this week (despite freezing temperatures!) and will be given a crash course in investment practices and Virtu. To learn more about the new Associates and current Managers and Partners, check out the bios of each member below!

"Oh no, I've debigulated us all!"
The arsenal of the Engineer holds an array of combat gear for use at range, close up, or even on a time delay. The Engineer's toolbox might produce explosives, or decoys, or rockets, or snares. Some Engineers have even used their talents to convert themselves into high altitude bombs, though the result is often as bad for the Engineer as for his target.
However, an old standby of the Engineer cannot be overlooked. Pushing the envelope of our technical prowess, Engineer designers have produced a family of weapons which have been considered at times our signature pieces: the ray guns. Herein we will discuss the creation and use of the ray emitters available to all Engineers, with particular attention on what has long been a prize piece of the Mechanical Engineering Guild, Associated: the Gnomish Death Ray.

About us
The takeover of Ethiopia's Omo National Park by African Parks Foundation (APF) of the Netherlands
African Parks Foundation (APF) a Netherlands-based organization with strong South African links, took over management of the Omo National Park in the Southern Regional State of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia in January, 2006. It had originally intended to include the nearby Mago National Park. APF has now decided to exclude the Mago Park, although it has not ruled out the possibility that it may offer to extend its management to the Mago at a later date. APF has been managing another Ethiopian national park, Nech Sar (also in the Southern Regional State), since February 2005, having signed an agreement with the Ethiopian government in February 2004.
Among the groups who live in and around the Omo Park are the Mursi (pop. 6000-10,000) and Suri or Surma (about 28,000) and the Nyangatom or Bume (15,000-20,000), Dizi, (about 25,000) and Me'en (about 55,000). Three of these groups (Mursi, Suri and Nyangatom) combine cattle herding with both flood-retreat and rain-fed cultivation. Because of the spatial distribution of agricultural and grazing land, and because of the unreliability of rainfall in this semi-arid environment, the successful utilization of these resources requires regular seasonal movements, over relatively short distances, by most members of the population. The Mursi live in both the Omo and Mago Parks, which enclose, between them, around 75 per cent of their subsistence base. The Me'en are shifting cultivators and cattle herders and the Dizi are cultivators.
Most East African protected areas and national parks have been created in areas used by pastoralists. One of the main justifications for this has been the now-discredited belief that pastoralists do not know how to manage the environment in a sustainable way. The greatest threat to the efficient management of natural resources by African pastoralists has come not from contradictions internal to the ecology of subsistence herding, as the 'Tragedy of the Commons' argument would have us believe, but from external pressures—not the least important being well-intentioned but misguided livestock development projects. The loss of key dry-season pastures, whether to agriculturalists or wildlife conservation schemes, has had a particularly disastrous impact on pastoralists.
The Omo Park (4,068 km2) was established in 1966 and the Mago Park (2162 km2) in 1978. It was not until a few months ago, however, following African Parks Foundation's expression of interest in taking over the management of these parks, that urgent steps were taken by the Southern Regional Government to have them gazetted.
-- A 'demarcation ceremony' was held at the Omo National Park Head Quarters in March 2005, at which a number of local people, including both Mursi and Nyangatom, were asked to show their 'agreement' by putting their thumbprints on documents describing the park boundaries.
-- Government officials who took part in the demarcation told Mursi living in the Mago Park that they would have to move, in due course, to an area lying between the Mago and Omo Park boundaries. They could not possibly survive there without becoming permanently dependent on food aid.
-- According to a Mursi eye-witness, 'police' from the Mago National Park visited a Mursi village, known as 'Maganto', in July this year and persuaded three randomly chosen men to put their thumbprints on a document defining the Mago Park boundaries.
When gazettement takes place, those now living in the Omo and Mago Parks will become - apparently by their own 'prior consent' - illegal squatters on their own land.
Concern about what these events may mean for the Mursi and their neighbors is heightened by the history of APF's takeover of the much smaller (514 km2) NechaSar National Park, near Arba Minch. When the NechaSar agreement was signed, in February 2004, it was understood by APF that the people then living in and utilizing the park, Kore peasant farmers and Guji cattle herders, would be resettled before APF took over its management. In an interview in the New Scientist magazine (13 August 2005), Paul van Vlissingen, founder and Chairman of APF, said:
We said [to the government] that we could work with people in the park, as we do in Zambia, but they said no. We didn't want to be involved in the resettlement, so I put a clause in the contract that said we wouldn't take over the park until the resettlement was completed.
In February 2004 around 1000 Kore families were resettled to an area about 15 km. south of the park. Resettling the Guji, however, proved a more difficult proposition. According to a report posted on the website of Refugees International in April 2005 (http://www.refugeesinternational.org/content/article/detail/5639),
On November 25, 2004, 463 houses of the Guji-Oromo people in Nechasar National Park…were burned down by police and park authorities.
The report described this as,
…the latest move in the effort to remove the Guji and Kore people from within the boundaries of the National park so that it can be developed and managed by the Netherlands-based African Parks Foundation as a wildlife viewing park for well-heeled tourists.
It went on:
The Guji-Oromo were previously expelled by the government [of Mengistu Haile Mariam] in the 1980s but came back and re-established themselves in five villages. Facing expulsion again..[they]..filed six appeals to the Federal and Regional governments to allow them to remain in the park. However, the regional government then ordered the Guji-Oromo to visit and choose one of two resettlement sites.
It was during the visit of their leaders to the second site when their houses were burned without warning on November 25, 2004. Some of the houses were occupied at the time; others were temporarily abandoned as the Guji-Oromo typically migrate with their herds and return to their houses during the rainy season…..no compensation has been paid for the property destroyed during the house burning.
Latest reports say that around 5000 Guji have been pushed into one corner of the park, where they are living in two villages, and that their access to grazing land in the park has been restricted.
APF's responded to the RI report with a statement, also posted on the RI website, and signed by Paul van Vlissingen, in which he wrote:
African Parks has never been and will never be involved in questions of a political nature, such as the resettlement of people…..resettlement is not a matter for our organization as Governments are sovereign in these matters in every country.
Mr van Vlissingen adopted essentially the same position when he met Mursi and Nyangatom elders in Jinka, the capital of the South Omo Zone of the Southern Regional State, at the end of September. The main concern expressed by the elders at this meeting was about the implications of the government's 'park demarcation' process for their continued access to agricultural and grazing land within the Omo Park. In response to this concern, Mr van Vlissingen said that APF had no plans to remove people from the Omo Park, but he was also at pains to point out that 'we are not the government'. He thereby appeared to be washing his hands in advance of any responsibility for actions the government might take to remove people physically from the park and/or to deny them access to agricultural and grazing land within it.
Not surprisingly, this did not calm the anxieties of the local people present at the meeting, one of whom later wrote:
Mr. Paul .... was telling us everything and told us he would not move any Mursi, but he would let the Mursi live in the park, but doesn't want people to kill animals. He said this but maybe later he will trick us. I think he is a very nice man, very friendly...but we see only the outside not the inside. He said not to worry since no one will move you. He said I want your help and we will help each other. He said he doesn't know about government plans. He said he wants to train local people to be scouts. He said APF are not allowed to move people, but I don't believe it. I read about the Guji and Kore people, and he said the government did that, and not APF, but now he took over that place.
Following this meeting, Mr van Vlissingen summed up APF's position very clearly in a letter dated 31 October 2005, in which he wrote "As we manage State Assets we can not be seen by any government as interfering."
This argument is both unethical and untenable. It is precisely because APF is managing 'state assets' that it has a moral obligation to ensure that the way these assets are employed and utilized is consistent with international guidelines concerning the fundamental rights of local people. The widely accepted ILO Convention on Indigenous and Tribal Peoples in Independent Countries (1985), for example, states categorically (Article 14) that:
The rights of ownership and possession of the peoples concerned over the lands which they traditionally occupy shall be recognized. In addition, measures shall be taken in appropriate cases to safeguard the right of the peoples concerned to use lands not exclusively occupied by them, but to which they have traditionally had access for their subsistence and traditional activities. Particular attention shall be paid to the situation of nomadic peoples and shifting cultivators in this respect.
The Netherlands, where African Parks Foundation is registered as a non-profit, is a signature country. The fact that Ethiopia has refused to ratify this convention does not invalidate its ethical basis and moral authority. On the contrary, it makes it even more incumbent on any foreign enterprise entering into a business partnership with the Ethiopian government to ensure that the fundamental rights of local people likely to be affected by this partnership are not violated.
The IUCN has consistently affirmed the rights of indigenous peoples to the lands they traditionally occupy, in numerous resolutions and statements of policy. It is also a fundamental principle of the organization that the establishment of protected areas should not exacerbate the poverty of local people by, for example, depriving them of vital subsistence resources and making them dependent on food aid. It should also be noted that the World Bank revised its Operational Policy on resettlement (OP 4.12) in 2002 to include the loss of access resulting in adverse impacts on livelihoods as a form of displacement. Similarly, the African Development Bank has included in its 2003 policy on resettlement the statement that the policy covers
loss of assets or involuntary restriction of access to assets including national parks, protected areas or of natural resources; or loss of income sources or means of livelihood as a result of projects, whether or not the affected persons are required to move.
If the APF is to be accepted internationally as a responsible conservation agency it must ensure that that the principles and policies articulated by the relevant international conventions and widely understood best practice are adhered to in the projects it manages. The responsibilities incumbent on the APF in this respect are neither diminished nor abrogated by the fact that it may be the Government with which it collaborates that actually carries out the evictions or lesser forms of loss of access that violate the rights of local communities in and around the Omo and Mago National Parks.

While Kristen Stewart only slightly injured herself recently while shooting Snow White and the Huntsman in London, seeing the girl's right hand all wrapped up makes us wince nonetheless.
Maybe that's because we can't help but wonder (and worry!) if there was actually more to the mishap than we were led to believe.
After all, it's been over two weeks now since one of K.Stew's costars tweeted about it, saying it was "nothing scary."
While E! News has reached out to her rep for comment after spotting the actress touching down at LAX on Thursday, we've yet to hear back.
Here's hoping it won't be too painful for Kristen when she joins Breaking Dawn costars Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner at Grauman's Chinese Theatre in Hollywood today for the hand and footprint ceremony!
