Our small non-profit organization hosts 4 robotics competitions each year. We have a new competition this year and we need a logo for the competition. The name of this competition is Louisiana Tech BEST. The competition is held in an area known for it's peaches (fruit) and I would like the logo to represent this. The logo can include things such as gears and robots, but as stated peaches should be incorporated into the logo as well. The full name of the competition (Louisiana Tech BEST) should be included in the logo. I would like to have a colored logo, but it is also important for the logo to have strong lines to it that can be used as a single color image to be printed on shirts or a single color image to be included along with the colored logo at no additional cost. The colored logo needs to be of a quality that can be blown up to be used on a banner as well shrunk to 1 inch for use on flyers. We need this logo as soon as possible, I encourage you to submit your design sket...

party themes make a comeback {Birthday Express}
Before it happened to me, I had no idea how stressful a first birthday could be. You know they won't remember a bit of it but there is this intense pressure to make it special, nonetheless. It is their first birthday and they will never have another — well, until next year.
The most important question when beginning to plan a party is theme or no theme. Theme has become a bit of a dirty word over the years due to the sheer lack of options. It used to be if you wanted a theme, you only had a few to choose from and they were only the most popular of licensed characters. This led to boring, photocopy birthday parties, a real dime a dozen.
Luckily, a mom has real options these days to set her kid's party apart from the neighbor's. Take Birthday Express for example. When I saw an opportunity to review this online party superstore, I was skeptical. Then I took a stroll through their themes. My skepticism quickly faded and I was left wondering which of literally 5 perfect themes to choose. Impressive!
Birthday Express offers themes way beyond the typical, beyond anything you will find in your local party supply stores. Most importantly, they sell party packs in varying package sizes to give you a strong base for your party plans. You can also add party supplies a la carte, creating a more custom order to suit your baby's big day.
When this review opportunity came along, I was at the very end of my pregnancy, expecting my baby boy in a week or so. I saw this as a great opportunity to find awesome Welcome Home decor, the original birthday. Not knowing which TV show or even color my little lad would soon fancy the most, I went with the Goodnight Moon 1st Birthday theme. One cannot go wrong with Goodnight Moon, right?
After you choose your theme you have to decide on the package: classic or deluxe, for 8 or 16. I went with the Goodnight Moon Deluxe Party Pack for 8, which included an impressive collection of quality items for 8 guests:
- invitations, thank you cards, party hats
- dinner plates, dessert plates, cups, forks, spoons, napkins, tablecover
- centerpiece, streamers (3 colors), 18 balloons (3 colors), foil balloon, curling ribbon (3 colors)
- cake candles, #1 candle
This pack was absolutely awesome, and so easy to set up. I had a rather impressive set up done in an hour using just items from the party pack. I also had the Good Night Moon Personalized Banner, which added a real nice touch. It is still proudly displayed in my dining room, partially because I'm too exhausted with a newborn to take it down. With the basics handled, I had the extra time to put into special decor items, cake and other treats.
If you have a birthday coming up to plan for, head over to Birthday Express. Make your life a little easier and get the basics for the table and decor handled in one easy purchase. Then you can focus on those time-consuming Pinterest crafts and treats to really make your party unique.

It's young people who will benefit from President Obama's courageous stand
There has been much talk since yesterday about President Obama's declared support for gay marriage in his interview with ABC News. However much we might have known before about his affirmative attitude towards gay people in general, this is a huge symbolic step. A courageous one too, and it obviously comes from a strong inclination of conscience because the electoral risk is significant: much of his grassroots support is from deeply conservative, religious African Americans.
I have written about this subject in more detail here but what struck me yesterday was not so much the encouragement it gives to gay couples wanting to formalize their relationships but to young people discovering their sexual orientation in deeply hostile environments. Whether or not you agree with him, to see the President of the United States supporting marriage for gay people, and even linking his reasons for doing so to his and his wife's Christian faith, is incalculable in its resonance. It is related in some way to the dramatic symbolism of his own ability to be elected President as an African American. Things can never be the same again. The lonely, bullied, despairing teenager has an ally now in the most powerful political leader on earth.
This past week the statistic was published from a recent study indicating that 30% of young gay people in Taiwan had contemplated suicide and 20% of them had actually attempted it. This is horrific, especially as Taiwan is a thoroughly secular country with some of the most liberal gay laws in Asia. But in the West the most vitriolic hatred of homosexuality still comes from those holding a Bible and quoting its few, ambiguous, historically-conditioned verses in support of increasingly untenable positions – both scientific and theological. Young people deserve better from society whether secular or religious. They deserve not to have to lie or pretend or hide or hate themselves. President Obama's 'coming out' is a deeply pastoral gesture; now let's see our Pastors do the same.

LGBT History Month
February 4th, 2015
February is LGBT History Month here in the UK, we celebrate by looking at some of our favourite LGBT documentaries!
In Uganda, a new bill threatens to make homosexuality punishable by death. David Kato - Uganda's first openly gay man - and his fellow activists work against the clock to defeat the legislation while combating vicious persecution in their daily lives.
In an unmarked office at the end of a dirt track, veteran activist David Kato labors to repeal Uganda's homophobic laws and liberate his fellow lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender men and women, or "kuchus." But David's formidable task just became much more difficult. A new "Anti-Homosexuality Bill" proposes death for HIV-positive gay men, and prison for anyone who fails to turn in a known homosexual. Inspired by American evangelicals who have christened Uganda ground zero in their war on the "homosexual agenda," the bill awaits debate in Uganda's Parliament. Meanwhile, local newspapers have begun outing kuchus with vicious fervor under headlines such as: "HOMO TERROR! We Name and Shame Top Gays in the City."
David, Uganda's first openly gay man, is one of the few who dare to publicly protest state-sanctioned homophobia. Working with an idiosyncratic clan of fellow activists, David fights Uganda's government and tabloids in the courts, on television, and at the United Nations. Because, he insists, "if we keep on hiding, they will say we're not here."

- Mar 31, 2013Dakine Cyclone Roll-Top Pack- 2200 cu in (36L) capacity, color: blue
Reviewer Information
Name: James Dillion Asher Jr.
Age: 31
Gender: Male
Height: 5' 7" (1.7 meters)
Weight: 145 lbs (65 kilos)
Email address: james@...
City: Fort Collins
State: Colorado
Country: USA
Date: March 31, 2013
Backpacking Background: I've spent a significant amount of time outdoors as a field research geologist, working in the field under a variety of weather conditions and different environments. I've traversed high mountains, lowland swamps, tropical island interiors and coastlines and even crawled around inside caves. I'm also an avid traveler, and an unconventional one at that- I've driven 1720 miles across Peru on a 3-wheeled motorcycle taxi and will soon embark on a 9,000 mile car camping trip from England to Mongolia. I might not always be backpacking, but give me a piece of equipment and I guarantee I will put it through its paces!
Product Information:
Manufacturer: Dakine
Year of Manufacture: 2011
URL: http://www.dakine.com
Listed weight: approx. 2lbs (0.9 kilos)
Dimensions: 20" x 12" x 11" (51cm x 30cm x 28cm)
Colors available: Blue, Charcoal
Product Details:
The 2200 cu in (36L) Dakine Cyclone Roll-Top Pack comes without packaging off-the-shelf. Adjustable padded shoulder straps, a breathable back pad, a top loop, roll-up top with clips, side cinch straps, and front zippered-storage pocket are part of the bag's construction. Included is an adjustable and removable chest strap adjoining the two shoulder straps, which affixes to the shoulder straps with plastic pinch clips. These clips snap over the round, black-colored piping running the length of the shoulder straps.
The Cyclone Roll-Top functions as a backpack-portable, waterproof and watertight top-closure dry storage bag. The bag features sealed PU coated nylon construction and welded seams. Closing and sealing the bag is accomplished by pinching the top of the bag together, forcing out any excess air, rolling the top of the bag downwards at least once, and then buckling the ends securely to either one another or to the side cinch straps. The more wraps achieved while rolling the bag closed, the better the seal. When rolled-up properly the bag is essentially water-tight and impervious to moisture.
Field Information:
I've used my Dakine Cyclone Roll-Top as a light day pack under hot, dry, humid, rainy, cold and snowy conditions on terrain ranging from beaches and open coastline, swamps and marshes to desert and high mountains over the course of two years. It has also been subjected to a broad range of handling and travel conditions such as hiking, spelunking, boating and canoeing, motorcycle and air travel.
The Dakine Cyclone proved to be comfortable and practical in terms of the padding included in its construction. The shoulder straps and back pad, as well as the bag's smaller size, made it a reasonable choice for carrying lighter and smaller loads while doing a good job of keeping contents protected from the elements. In its most basic design features the bag performed as intended, having kept the main compartment's contents clean and dry time and time again.
It does have some limitations, however, compared to other dry bags. One feature in particular, the front zippered pocket, doesn't perform as advertised- it is most certainly NOT waterproof or watertight. Anything going into this pocket can easily get wet, something I have experienced repeatedly and assume to be the result of a faulty zipper seal. Fortunately for the user, the pocket is so absurdly cramped on this model that almost nothing exceeding the dimensions of a thin moleskin notebook can be stored within. This, of course, would be ruined once the otherwise conspicuously waterproof Dakine Cyclone Roll-Top is exposed to water, and so you learn to store only small items that can get wet inside the front pocket. The Cyclone isn't as robust as rubberized dry bags and must be handled with a bit more care- it's better suited to staying securely on your back. Over time, the bag's coated skin is susceptible to wear and abrasion and eventually moisture will infiltrate the nylon fabric of the outer layer. To its credit, mine remains waterproof on the inside despite this problem. Additionally, one of the two chest straps (which I rarely used) was lost to an airport conveyer belt or a car door or some other snag within weeks of purchase. One of the modular pinch clips securing a strap to the bag was easily plucked away and lost, rendering the other useless. I respect the novelty and convenience of a chest strap that can be adjusted vertically, but you might consider removing them for travel or tossing them altogether.
The Dakine Cyclone Roll-Top Pack is a reasonably reliable and convenient top-loading weatherproof and waterproof backpack, appropriate for short-range trekking and/or outdoor activities where water, rain, snow or moisture comes into play. The front zippered pocket, however, is of limited use due to its size and does not adequately protect contents from water or moisture. The Cyclone Roll-Top is most appropriate for lighter personal use as a daypack, a beach bag or as a portable dry storage bag for boating or canoe outings, as it is susceptible to rough treatment compared to similar products.
Things I like:
1. Compact size.
2. Comfortable straps and back pad.
3. Top ends can be buckled to the sides or to each other in a rush.
Things I dislike:
1. Front zippered pocket is too small and is neither waterproof nor watertight (2012 Dry Pack models do feature a larger zippered pocket).
2. Adjustable chest straps are prone to getting ripped off or lost.
3. PU coated nylon skin and fabric are susceptible to wear and abrasion.

Transracial Adoption Twist – Black Parents Adopting White Kids
What picture comes to mind when you hear transracial adoption or interracial adoption? Chances are good that it is not the picture to the right. A white couple with a black child draws attention; a black couple with a white child draws lots of attention! As one black dad of a white daughter says, "I've never felt more self-consciously black than while holding our little white girl's hand in public."
According to the National Survey of Adoptive Parents, 40% of all adoptions in the US are transracial. The percentage has increased significantly since 1994 with the Multiethnic Placement Act prohibited discrimination in adoption based on race. This survey doesn't break down the race of the parents, but the vast majority in my experience are Caucasian parents adopting Latino, African American, and Asian children. I don't predict a trend of black couples and singles standing in line for white kids since there remains a disproportionate number (not to be confused with majority) of children of color in need of families in the US. Nonetheless, I think our surprise (and often discomfort) when seeing such families is worth examining.
Most of the cases that I've heard of where a white child is adopted by African American parents have come from foster care adoptions where the black family was fostering the child first. They are similar to the case of Mary Riley, a 68 year old African American Georgia widow, who is the mom to three active white boys she adopted from foster care after fostering them for two years. They were 5, 7 and 9 when they came to live with her.
"I didn't always think about adopting, but when I got these boys I fell in love with them and got attached to them, I couldn't let them go, and I was afraid they were going to get separated from each other.
Sometimes people stare at us and ask questions, but I accept these boys and they accept us, so I ain't worried about anybody else. I would adopt two more white boys if they needed me, I'm not looking at the color. They are all God's children to me."
Not all black families who adopt outside their race adopt from foster care. Dallas Cowboys linebacker DeMarcus Ware and his wife, Taniqua, struggled with infertility and adopted their daughter Marley, a Hispanic newborn, in a private domestic adoption. They were later able to give birth their son DeMarcus, Jr. The Ware's adoption received mixed reviews from blacks and whites alike. "Do you mean to tell me that the Wares couldn't have found a little black baby to adopt?" posted one blogger on the Daily Voice, an online African-American newspaper.
Not surprisingly, black parents adopting white children face similar issues as white parents adopting black children—how to handle race. Mark Riding, a black dad adopting a white daughter, explains.
When the little white girl came to live with us — three years old, doughy face, Irish freckles, and deep red hair — we faced immediate, unanticipated obstacles, many of which were internal. For example, I hadn't considered how often we talked about white people at home. I hadn't realized that dinnertime stories were rarely told without referencing the race of the players. I was also oblivious how frequently I used racial stereotypes. We began diligently censoring ourselves. Of course we've routinely adjusted our language and behavior for the sake of our white peers, neighbors, bosses and friends, but this little girl lives with us, which requires code switching and code creating at home. …It has required more vigilance than I ever suspected; and I had long considered myself a fairly enlightened person.
Even though transracial adoptions are en vogue, many people (especially white people) are troubled when they see us out together. At the park in our historic Baltimore neighborhood where adopted Asian kids play with their white siblings without a blink, we are greeted with uneasy curiosity. We don't receive the knowing smile and assumption of family that those other adoptive families enjoy. White park-goers often assume (out loud) that my graying mother-in-law is the girl's nanny. Given close enough proximity, white people are almost always compelled to question our relationship with her. "So who do we have here" they ask, hardly veiling their anxiety. Even white friends and colleagues from the progressive private school in which I work are clearly disquieted, despite the fact that middle-class white parents with adopted Romanian, Asian or black children are in growing number there. "Oh this must be your little foster child." A colleague announced loudly outside a kiddie concert held on campus. Our little girl was troubled; her family secret had been publically revealed and she didn't understand how or why. I was doubly upset because I couldn't even carp freely about the indirect racial prejudice and insensitivity of this white person when I returned home.
The Ridings also worry about providing their daughter with a strong racial identity. Most of her friends are black, although her school is primarily white. Her mother is concerned that she is uncomfortable identifying people by their race. Her family does what it can by celebrating St. Patrick's Day and buying Irish chotskies, like a "Kiss Me I'm Irish" T shirt and a mug with her Irish family crest on it. And like most transracial adoptive parents, they wonder if it will be enough.
Is there any reason why black parents shouldn't adopt white children or babies given that there are more black children in need of homes?Image credit: DeMarcus Ware & daughter, Mary Riley & sons, DeMarcus Ware & daughter and son

54 Responses to Transracial Adoption Twist – Black Parents Adopting White Kids
Humans have cross adopted children since their very existence. Many of us are descended from those cross adoption. Anyone who think it is a bad idea is actually trying perpectuate the racially polarised world that we live in.
I'm a white adult female with an extremely racist father and a non racist mother. They divorced when I was 6 and I lived with my mother and occasionally visited my father and half siblings.
Perhaps this has nothing to do with the article but … Going from one parent's house to the other was like traveling to parrallel universes. My father's house: He'd want to know if I had any black friends. He'd use the N word so freely .. it was like going back 150 years in time. Then once I was back to my mother's house it was back to the current year … (anywhere from 1997-2009) and she'd pity my father's mentality and reinstill that hate isn't a value and that people should be judged based on character personality loyalty etc. Generalizing based on race or looks is not okay ever.
The point is my mother was very honest with me. The fact that my father was and still is so racists is tragic. Fortunately for my mother there was no avoiding the subject. Although I have nothing to do with my father as an adult, I'm thankful for that to have been apart of my childhood because I live and celebrate the diversity of humans everyday. I don't tolerate hateful judgemental people at all. And that is thanks to my honest mother.
REALITY for any child can't be avoided. You tell your child what is right and tell them what is wrong. Don't bring color into it. If AA parents feel like a white person said something racists towards them about their child etc. they should be 100% forthcoming with their reactions about it. They should stand up for their interracial family to the person. They shouldn't say hateful things about white people – even if they didn't have an adopted white child. Saying hateful things about any race in any type of family is wrong. PERIOD. Hate and the practice of stereotyping/generalizing shouldn't be apart of family practice, let alone the word.
As an adult, I have only one white friend. My best friends are from every race I can imagine and to tell you the truth sometimes I forget my own race. Because it doesn't matter to me, I was taught otherwise. Racial identiy is silly, in my opinion. It's your personal identity that matters. It's about the love you allow into your life blindly, not about the people or things you purposefully bring closer to yourself because of the color you may see your skin to be.
This was a very interesting article and I support any adoption as long as the child is 100% loved.
We have a Caucasian 3 yr old granddaughter and 1 yr old grandson in DSS custody in Mecklenburg County NC., and we appeared before the judge in Sept. 2014 requesting custody. The foster parent is a single black woman who works 5 days a week and both children are in day care. The Judge granted us guardianship at that hearing and ordered an expedited Interstate Compact with Florida where we are retired. The 66 page approved ICPC was delivered to NC on Mar. 24, 2015. At an April 2, 2015 and an April 14 hearing the Judge never followed up placing the children with us because DSS wants to allow the children to be adopted by the black foster mother, claiming it is in "the children's best interest" since they have bonded with her and even call her mommy. Instead of preserving the family as required by Federal law, this court wants to destroy our family. We have another extended hearing scheduled for May 12. We find this posting and comments very interesting since it addresses this issue. We fear that our white grandchildren will never be accepted by their peers and be subject to future bullying as they grow up because of decisions made by adults who do not have a vision of how these children may be treated in life.
Just curious how things worked out for your family?
Of course, it goes without saying that the only important thing is that the child is happy and loved. I hope she has a wonderful life and has a feeling of security and joy everyday.
I don't know if its really necessary to celebrate st Partricks Day with her or give her emblems of her Irish heritage. My gut feeling is just raise her as your own like you would a black kid and don't worry about it. You can tell her about her Irishness, maybe when she's a bit older, and if she wants to do something about it or connect with it in some way then she can. If I was that kid, I don't know if i'd want a personal identity as a child that separates me form my parents. Why does she even need a strong racial identity? What good is it? I'm sure she will know what she is genetically from looking in the mirror and I'm sure she'll pick up a white identity from school and society. How could she not when people are so race conscious? I don't think its something you have to work for.
As a white guy (from an Irish background) if I brought up a black girl, my attitude would be she's one of us with different colour skin, just like you can have a kid with different colour hair. If she grows up and wants to connect with her roots then I'd support it but I would neither encourage or discourage that.
That's my feeling about the matter.
I pray one day we can see a family as love and not color. My children are bi-racial and being African-American I was often considered to be their nanny in public because they have lighter skin tone. If you have it in your heart to love a child, are capable to raise a child, and are colorblind you should be able to adopt any race child who needs a home regardless of your own race. Hopefully family, friends and the public can just see a loving family and not see color. So many children desperately need loving homesand colorblind parents. Open your hearts.
I think people should adopt whatever babies and children that their heart tells them to adopt. Of course it's not just that simple. But when the universe gives you a child that you can choose to adopt, color, race and ethnicity really shouldn't be the first things on peoples minds. It's super easy to over think things. The worse that can happen is weird stares and remarks. And there's going to probably be something in life that exhibits weird stares and remarks anyway.
I am white. I strictly want to adopt a white child. Guess I am on the wrong website
Hope it is not an impossible feat though.
Of course african-american families should adopt white children in the US. It would do this country so much good!
a human baby needs a home,a human loves that baby and take him/her in,really does it matter what any of their skin colour is… Colour…who cares!!?!?!? Just be glad a baby won't have to have a hard life…a baby…not a colour!!!!
That's the strangest story I've read. Makes no sense and I'm the grandmother of two white children(step, but they're mine just the same).
?"I was doubly upset because I couldn't even carp freely", what does this mean?
Thank you for your post. My husband and I are AA and our son is white (Cuban/Italian) heritage. He is an embryo donation baby. I occasionally look for sites that have information on AA parent with white children. Looking for those who have gone before us. This article provides some insight into the road ahead…thank you!
so they finally watched the tracy allman show on adoption. WOW! the trouble with adoption is the babies are coerced away from their parents who deeply want them.
"Is there any reason why black parents shouldn't adopt white children or babies given that there are more black children in need of homes?"
Well, if you really believe the BS about living in a post racial society, then obviously there is no reason to be concerned about race and who adopts whom.
But if you are a realist, then you'll realize that black transracial adopters face all the challenges that white transracial adopters face with the twist of going against the grain from the perceived notions of race and privilege enough to adopt (a racial minority who faces prejudice adopting from the racial majority which is converse to the norm). I'm sure black adopters of white children gives fears to some white folk (but of course not all you progressive open minded people).
So in this bizarre question that ends "… given that there are more black children in need of homes?" did the questioner think that perhaps black people should look after their own first and foremost whilst it's still perceived as okay for white folk to ignore the many children in their own country (white, and non-white both) and go gallivanting across the globe buying ethnically other children to take home?
I say this as a transracial intercountry adoptee who thinks that there are more problematic attitudes with western intercountry adopters than anyone who steps up to care for children in their own country. I also think any adopter (or foster carer) who ignores race in transracial situations, does so at the child's peril and risks the integrity of that relationship.
Some 8% of adopted white children where adopted to black family or IR-family in 2004 (in USA). So it's not at all so rare phenomenon
people are claiming.
Really interesting article! Thank you for sharing! Happy ICLW.
Such an interesting article!!!
"We don't receive the knowing smile and assumption of family that those other adoptive families enjoy."
Well, that's quite an assumption! I wonder where that comes from? As a parent of non-white adopted children, I've been treated with everything from kindness and delight to anger and hostility. Being a white parent doesn't absolve you from judgement by other parents — far from it. Very far from it.
When you fall in love with a child the color of their face is never a factor. I have friends that have adopted and never once did they ever ask what race. They instantly fell in love with their children before even meeting them. They are as white as you can get and are raising boys that are not the same color. You can't find better parents in the world. I can't speak for black families raising white children, but I can't imagine it being much different.
There is a large number of black children, too large, needing families. That is unfortunately true and needs to be addressed. But these examples are not proof that black families are denying black children [not saying you are saying it but others are]. The people in these situations openly admit to their own racial bias and soul searching. They had to face their own internal chatter on the topic. And in the end they chose to love the child regardless of whether others agree with it. That is love. Not whether a child looks like you. Not whether segments of society would bash it. Yes it does make you more sensitive to your own internal dialogue but maybe we could all use a good soul searching on that one regardless of whether "our child" might hear. That internal dialogue affects us, other people, other children, our communities. More families are needed for black children but telling people to reject a child based on skin color is not the solution. God bless these people for accepting and loving their children.
I think it's absolutely WONDERFUL that families are adopting – regardless of race or nationality. I wish my family were in a position to do more than pray for children who need a home and for the moms & dads in the process of adopting. I say kudos and God bless you to all of the men & women who choose to adopt and do so based on their love of the child, not the color of his/her skin. Thank you!
We have families, including our Pastor, that have adopted all ethenticities within their family unit in our church. I do believe that white families tend to do the majority of adopting in and out of the US. I think it's about time that the black community is doing their part and not adopting just within their own ethnic group. I think it's great that their are doing this.
The examples given are adoption through circumstance. Adoption through circumstance is something I don't see often covered anywhere. I was fairly critical of some adoptive parents who didn't know any of the commonly accepted knowledge in adoption circles. You ask yourself why don't they know this or that and don't they care and essentially you judge them. It wasn't until I became friends with someone who adopted through circumstance that my blindfold was removed. You have real adults and real children thrust into a situation and its time for a choice to be made. The people in these examples did the right thing. My friend did the right thing and she took a much bigger leap of faith than I did by making that leap without any of the knowledge or aids or support groups that I leaned upon. She just had to trust that she would find that somewhere. She hit the floor running. These people hit the floor running. When it was time to make a lifechanging call for a child, knowing there would be difficult times, they did it. I will never judge anyone of any color adopting a child unless the reason is because of color regardless of what type.

Picture: Bill Murray, 'Moonrise Kingdom' photocall - during the 65th Cannes Film Festival Cannes, France - 16.05.12
Bill Murray hides away every time he makes a big movie, insisting the public eyes him with a "strange hunger".
The actor has appeared in a host of major Hollywood films, including Ghostbusters and Lost in Translation, but he still finds it uncomfortable when he's recognised in the street.
He tells Britain's The Times, "After a big film people in the street look at you with a strange hunger; mad, raw and terrifying. Not so much here (the U.K.), but in America it's like being in a steam room all the time. You have to hide away."
Murray is adamant the problem is so intrusive he craves the chance to appear in smaller budget movies instead.
He adds, "I like small movies like Moonrise (Kingdom). With big movies you have to be the 300lbs gorilla in the room. People expect that of you, and if someone's going wrong, you have to crack that egg for the director you're working for. You have to throw a fit because that's the expectation."

The Boston Consulting Group Summer Internship Program
The name may sound local, but The Boston Consulting Group's
reach-and expertise-is anything but. With over 10,000 employees in
82 offices in 46 countries, the firm ranks as one of America's
Largest Private Companies, according to Forbes magazine.
Clients typically include many of the world's 500 largest
companies, but BCG also counts midsized businesses, nonprofit
organizations and government agencies in North and South America,
Asia, Europe, the Middle East and Australia among its clients. The
firm's consultants-who have included notables such as Indra Nooyi,
CEO of Pepsi; Jeff Immelt, CEO of General Electric; Jim Koch,
founder, CEO and Brewmaster of Boston Beer Company; Sally Blount,
dean of the Kellogg School of Management; Israeli Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu; and Grammy Award winner John Legend-are experts
in a number of industries, including consumer goods, retail,
financial services, industrial goods, social impact and nonprofit,
energy, health care, insurance, technology, media, and
The firm helps clients with a number of specific management
needs within its broad functional practice areas, such as growth
strategy development and execution; business portfolio management;
mergers and acquisitions; postmerger integration; productivity and
efficiency improvement; marketing and pricing; supply chain
management; IT infrastructure; customer and supplier relationship
management; sustainability; turnaround; and private equity, among
other services.
The Henderson legacy
BCG was founded in 1963 by Bruce D. Henderson, a former Bible
salesman and Harvard B-school dropout. Challenged by the CEO of The
Boston Safe Deposit & Trust Company to form a consulting arm
for the organization, Henderson responded with an aggressive
strategy. While his first month's billings amounted to $500 and his
office had a staff of just two by the end of his first year in
business, Henderson's subsequent success is impossible to deny-and
it was driven largely by expansion. In 1966, BCG became the first
Western strategy consulting outfit in Japan, and a string of
offices throughout Europe soon followed. By 1976, half of the
firm's revenue was being generated outside the U.S.-a year after
Henderson laid out a plan for employee stock ownership that saw the
firm fully owned by BCGers in 1979. Such was Henderson's reputation
within the business world that, following his death in 1992, no
less a publication than the Financial Times wrote that
"few people have had as much impact on international business in
the second half of the twentieth century as the founder of The
Boston Consulting Group."
In 1998, BCG established the Strategy Institute, a sort of
consulting think tank set up to apply insights from a variety of
disciplines to the strategic challenges facing both business and
society. Among the concepts developed by the firm over the years
are the experience curve (which charts improvements in efficiency
as experience is amassed), time-based competition (an approach that
recognizes speed as an essential component of success), disease
management (an approach to patient care that takes a more systemic
view of quality and costs than traditional approaches), richness
versus reach (the trade-off inherent in the economics of
information), trading up and trading down (consumer spending
phenomena) and globality (the post-globalization era in which
everyone from everywhere competes for everything).
Not the stuff of fairytales
Perhaps the innovation that the firm is best known for, however,
is its growth-share matrix. While a tool that utilizes images such
as cows, stars and dogs might sound fanciful, the matrix is one
serious piece of business methodology-and one that has become a
core tool used by businesses the world over. A graphic
representation of a firm's money flow, the growth-share matrix
divides a company's assets into four categories-the three mentioned
previously, plus question marks. While a full description of the
methodology is available on BCG's website, the basic meaning of
each category is as follows: a cow represents a "cash cow," a
low-growth, high-market share pursuit (generally the bread and
butter of any business); a star is an enterprise that both uses and
generates a lot of money, usually on the way to achieving cow
status; a dog tends to be labor-intensive but provides little
return on investment; and question marks are to be avoided at all
costs-basically representing money pits that absorb resources but
produce little revenue.
Falling in line
While many of BCG's consultants come from some of the best
business schools in the world-including the University of Chicago,
Harvard, INSEAD, Kellogg, Stanford and Wharton-not everyone working
at the firm has a business background. A number of consultants have
degrees that range from economics, biochemistry and engineering, to
psychology, classics and law.
Whatever their background, the firm organizes its brainpower
into formal practice areas, which include the functional and
industry areas listed above, as well as timely issues such as
managing through the downturn, cloud computing, megatrends,
operational transformation and turnaround, sustainability and
talent management.
PTO: Not just an acronym
It's no secret that life in a top-tier consuIting firm can be
stressful, and that dealing with hours can be one of the hardest
aspects for consultants to deal with. To address the challenges of
the job, BCG partnered with Harvard Business School in the creation
of its PTO (Predictability, Teaming, and Open Communication)
program, which it debuted in 2005. Since then the firm has rolled
this out across U.S. Systems, launched worldwide, and it is now in
every BCG office. According to the firm, "PTO is now a fundamental
BCG People Platform, used to drive business priorities at case
level, driving client value, while giving our employees a sense of
control and accomplishment. This program recognizes that a
satisfying, sustainable career at BCG is about more than minimizing
hours-it is also when you have personal control, purpose and
Paying it forward
BCG is big on being good. Its social impact practice network,
which functions like one of the firm's formal practice areas, works
with clients on socially conscious issues, including public health,
education, community and economic development, environmental
preservation, hunger, and arts and culture. The network chose its
focus areas based on the UN Millennium Development Goals, which set
targets for combating poverty, illiteracy and disease for the
world's poor by 2015.
Building the business canon
As might be expected of a company with so many experts and a
dedication to research, BCGers put out their fair share of
publications-so many, in fact, that in 2006, the firm collected
some of its biggest thoughts over the past 40 years into one
volume, entitled The Boston Consulting Group on Strategy.
Aimed at executives across all industries, the anthology offers
both the now-established wisdom as the company conceived it years
ago, as well as more recent thoughts on the state of business. The
themes, in many cases, have remained consistent over the decades:
Retain competitive advantage, break compromises, realize the value
of time, and remain aware of second- and third-order

The focus of my research is to understand multiphase flows of Newtonian and viscoelastic fluids using analytical, numerical, and experimental tools. Two-phase systems with surface tension gradients and elastic effects are encountered in a variety of applications such as materials, polymer, and food processing, pharmaceuticals, and microfluidics. The prediction of two-phase flow of Newtonian fluids is difficult because the location of the interface between the two immiscible phases is not known a priori and needs to be determined as part of the solution. The interface between two fluid phases is often characterized by a single property, the interfacial tension. Variation of interfacial tension along an interface leads to tangential stresses that are known as Marangoni stresses. Temperature gradient or a gradient in concentration of surface-active agents (surfactants) along the interface leads to surface tension variation along the interface. This complicates the problem as the temperature or the concentration distribution of the surfactant needs to be determined before the shape of the interface can be predicted. Furthermore, if the bulk fluids exhibit viscoelasticity, they can store energy to some extent and display partial recovery upon removal of stress. The fundamental issues of how surface tension gradients affect free surface flows, how surfactants can be added to control flows, and how elasticity in the bulk phase changes the deformation and break up of a dispersed fluid phase are explored in confined domains such as a Hele-Shaw cell, a rectangular channel, or a cylindrical capillary.
Some of the ongoing projects in my research group are:
Capsule Dynamics in Channels
Manipulation of single cells in microfluidic devices has gained momentum in the last decade with the development of novel microdevices for in vitro fertilization, cell-culture studies, forensic analysis, and diagnosis of diseases such as cancer, diabetes, and malaria. The overall research objectives of this project are to determine: (a) the effect of inertia on the three-dimensional non-axisymmetric motion of capsules in channels, (b) the effect of a non-uniform confining wall on capsule dynamics, and (c) the effect of the presence of another capsule in the vicinity.
Motion of drops and bubbles in confined domains at finite Reynolds numbers
The deformation and breakup of drops in a confined fluid medium is a problem of great practical importance in a variety of natural and physical processes such as motion of blood cells in capillaries as well as a host of industrial applications such as polymer processing, two-phase flows in microfluidic devices. We are conducting a combined experimental and numerical study of the three-dimensional motion of a drop/bubble in capillaries and channels of varying length scales. Numerically, the coupling between the momentum balance and the surfactant balance in two-phase flows will be handled using a hybrid volume-of-fluid (VOF) algorithm developed in our group. Unlike the VOF method, the interface is tracked explicitly as a Lagrangian grid and this scheme ensures that the shape and the normals and curvatures at the interface are represented accurately. Hence, the numerical technique can model strongly deforming interfaces with large density and viscosity ratios. Many fluids of interest such as glass-forming liquids, polymer melts and solutions, and micellar solutions exhibit viscoelastic behavior. Unlike Newtonian fluids, viscoelastic materials have the ability to store energy to some extent and thereby display partial recovery upon the removal of applied stress. Many interesting two-phase phenomena such as two-dimensional cusps at the trailing end of bubbles and velocity discontinuity have been attributed to the elasticity of the fluid phases. Experiments and numerical studies of the effects of elasticity on the motion of fluid particles in confined domains is currently underway. Being able to predict the mobility and deformation of viscoelastic drops in confined domains helps us to choose appropriate operating conditions to stabilize (as in emulsions) or eliminate (as in polymer systems) fluid droplets in a bulk fluid medium.
Thermocapillary Flow in Double-layer Fluid Structures Collaborator: A. Borhan, H. Haj-Hariri
Thermocapillary flows are of considerable technological importance in materials processing applications such as crystal growth particularly under microgravity conditions where the influence of buoyancy-driven convection is minimized. We numerically analyze the thermally-driven convection within a differentially-heated rectangular or cylindrical cavity containing two immiscible liquid layers in the absence of gravity. We have developed a single-layer model which accurately predicts the flow in the double-layer system even for large aspect ratios.

Cancellara & Nibali Tight-Lipped About Doping Report
Tour France champ Vincenzo Nibali & 8-time stage champ Fabian Cancellara, both have stayed tight-lipped about doping report published Cycling Independent Reform Commission or CIRC lately.
The CIRC report was supported by WADA & USADA.
The report took thirteen months to be completed and claimed that doping issues in riding is still in the endemic stage.
"I did not read anything regarding it. It could be that somebody else is looking to state something" remarked Nibali while asked to speak a few lines regarding the much speculated CIRC report.
Cycling guide for the skittish riders
Riding bike in an urban setting with crowded street is not a joy.
Cycling guide written in a form of book by Yvonne Bambrick talks about the aspect of riding bike in the cities of North America. Bike to ride with has to be chosen in the correct order along with the budget. The etiquettes of riding a bike in the narrow alleys are mentioned along with steps to manoeuvre when the riders get caught by the police.
Anna Meares Returns To The Place She Triumphed

We've all read or heard plenty to persuade us that the Republican Party is basically on life support, not only at the federal level, but also in more and more states.
In my recent book, "Paranoid Nation," I wrote extensively about the GOP in the chapter "Paranoid Party." Based on those writings and on the research I did for them, I believe there may in fact be a blueprint for a future Republican comeback. But to understand it, we first need to rid ourselves for good of some of the misconceptions that linger among many of those who lament the decline and fall of the GOP.
As I noted in the book, revisionist history has left many a misty-eyed Republican or former GOP voter with the notion that Ronald Reagan was swept into office in 1980 because of his charisma, a satchel full of conservative ideas and a disastrous Carter administration.
For the record, the "Republican Establishment" in most of the nation in 1980 opposed Reagan in the early primaries and caucuses.
Why? First, he had challenged a sitting GOP president, Gerald Ford, just four years earlier. And Reagan had been labeled a loose-cannon ultra-conservative by the media.
Even at the convention that nominated him that summer, the GOP elite was plying every trick and stratagem to force one of their own onto the ticket. They succeeded by pushing the idea that Ford was willing to consider a run as Reagan's vice president; that is, if the duties of the presidency would in truth be divided between the two men. Within hours of this tactic, this party elite got its original wish: George H.W. Bush, one of their clique, became the VP nominee.
As for Carter being a weak candidate, that was true. But most folks conveniently forget that Reagan was trailing Carter in the polls going into the last four weeks of the race. It wasn't until the two debated on national television that America felt comfortable enough to elect Reagan -- who, of course, later was ranked by the public as one of the greatest presidents in history.
I unearth these little nuggets from the past to point out that "beloved" candidates who are charming and attractive don't always win. Or at least they need an extra nudge to propel them to victory.
In offering a potential blueprint for a GOP resurrection, I'll draw on a theme outlined in the book.
Every candidate or party needs one issue around which the faithful can rally. For Reagan, it was tax reform.

England opt to bowl against India
Posted on Aug 15 2014 | IANS
London, Aug 15 : England captain Alastair Cook won the toss and elected to bowl against India in the fifth and the final Test at The Oval here Friday.
India made two changes with Ishant Sharma and Stuart Binny coming in place of Pankaj Singh and Ravindra Jadeja. England are fielding an unchanged side that includes a fit-again Stuart Broad.
"Quite a lot of live grass and a lot of rain over the 24 hours, think it might do a bit. Stuart Broad is absolutely fine. Same team. All the guys have done well. The series is still alive and want to put them under pressure again," said Cook.
Dhoni also wanted to bowl first.
"Wanted to bowl as well, tinge of green and would have liked the fast bowlers to have a go here when it did something," Dhoni said.
England: Alastair Cook (captain), Sam Robson, Gary Ballance, Ian Bell, Joe Root, Moeen Ali, Jos Buttler (wicketkeeper), Chris Woakes, Stuart Broad, Chris Jordan, James Anderson
India: Murali Vijay, Gautam Gambhir, Cheteshwar Pujara, Virat Kohli, Ajinkya Rahane, Mahendra Singh Dhoni (captain/wicketkeeper), Stuart Binny, Ravichandran Ashwin, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Varun Aaron, Ishant Sharma
Umpires: Kumar Dharmasena (Sri Lanka) and Paul Reiffel (Australia)
TV umpire: Tim Robinson
Match referee: Ranjan Madugalle (Sri Lanka)

Best Jewelry for Hipsters (2010)
Tomte Modern Craft
Brett and Crystal Hanks Child already had a growing concern with their own Vital Industries screen-printed T-shirts and glasses, which they decorate by hand with bicycles and other imagery from DIY culture in a home studio. But they decided to do-it-themselves to a whole other level last fall by opening Tomte, a small retail adjunct to Platte Street's The Other Side gallery and studio enclave. Tomte's shelves are given over to a well-picked selection of local and national DIY artists, offering wares such as old-fashioned silhouette beads from Lucky Me, sweet ceramics by Mudpuppy, simple chain-link jewelry by Lauren Haupt, and big chains made from old car parts by Sword + Fern, to name a few. If you're looking for a place to plug into what's hip, look no further.
