Darth Vader and Son book: 'Luke, I am your father. Time for bed'
- From: news.com.au
- October 29, 2012
- Children's author unveils Darth Vader and son
- Satire plots alternate childhood for Luke Skywalker
- Your say: Will there be a sequel?
IT'S hard being a single parent AND Darth Vader.
Imagine having to run the Death Star, maintain Storm Trooper morale then return home to raise Luke Skywalker.
Children's author Jeffrey Brown has taken care of the imagination for us with his new book Darth Vader and son.
It's a cute story and a clever satire - ensuring an equally good read for every Star Wars nerd and their kids.
What does this mean? Well, in addition to probably millions of dollars in book sales for Mr Brown, it opens up a whole new world for the Star Wars series.
Will Luke rebel at school? Will he copy Leia's maths test? How will Darth Vader handle parent-teacher interviews?
The force is now with Jeffrey Brown.

I hope they leave out the page where he lops his own son's hand off with a light sabre. That's taken corporal punishment just a tad too far.

Vader never got the chance to be a Father to his kids cos Yoda & Obi wan abducted them & hid them on another Star system!!! In any case he ain't that great a dad since he doesn't seem to have time for his daughter in the story!

Don't let it get away!
Keep track of the stocks that matter to you.
Help yourself with the Fool's FREE and easy new watchlist service today.
On April 3, we took a look at Starbucks (NASDAQ: SBUX ) and its underperformance of the S&P 500 year-to-date. We concluded that it was a major investment opportunity and the stock has been one of the top performers in the market since. We were right the first time. However, we are left with this big question: has the stock run too high or is this just the beginning of a run much higher?
Latest results
On July 25, Starbucks reported third quarter results for fiscal 2013 and it was a record-setter for the company. Take a look at this overview:
- Earnings per share of $0.55 vs. expectations of $0.53
- Revenue of $3.74 billion vs. expectations of $3.3 billion
- Global same store sales growth of 8%
Upcoming expectations
Starbucks is set to report fourth quarter and full-year earnings for fiscal 2013 on October 30. Analysts currently expect growth on both the top and bottom lines. The consensus estimates look like this:
|Earnings Per Share
|$3.8 billion
|$3.36 billion
At the rate Starbucks has been growing in 2013, I believe another earnings beat is in store. Even if it meets the current expectations, it would make for another record-setting quarter. Keep a close eye on same store sales growth and management's first quarter guidance. Those may be the two most important statistics that determine whether the stock pops or drops.
The international competition
Dunkin' Brands Group (NASDAQ: DNKN ) , the owner and operator of Dunkin' Donuts and Baskin-Robbins, is one of the largest players in the quick-serve restaurant and coffee industry. I took a close look at this competitor on April 3 and concluded that both companies had the potential to well outperform the market for the rest of 2013. Here's what the stocks have done since that date and year-to-date:
|Dunkin' Brands
|Performance since 4/3/13
|Performance YTD
|Dividends Paid YTD
As you can see, both Starbucks and Dunkin' have absolutely obliterated the overall market since April and year-to-date. Both pay healthy dividends, have favorable forward earnings estimates, and have momentum on their sides. Just like I said in April, Starbucks and Dunkin' can both be considered "best of breed" and are great long-term investment opportunities, even after these large runs.
The Foolish bottom line
Starbucks has had a great run year-to-date, but it is still a value play based on forward estimates. Personally, I would prefer waiting for the stock to pull back 5-10% before getting in, but this fall may never happen. Keep Starbucks on your radar and watch closely when it reports earnings; any weakness after the report is nothing more than a buying opportunity.

After the brutal
murder of her parents, Katelyn Corbin, a thoroughly modern twenty-one year old
college senior, faces the bitter prospect of having to resume her life. She
journeys from her hometown just outside Atlanta to her new home and school in
the Low Country of South Carolina. Soon after arriving in historic Charleston,
she meets James Dubois a deeply mysterious man with an old world aristocratic
bearing. She is deeply intrigued by him and feels as if he has reached out and
somehow touched her to the very depths of her soul.
The chemistry between the two of them is instantaneous. Her interest in him intensifies as she learns that he is a private man, with very little known about him. James appears to the casual observer to be a handsome young widower and wealthy patron of the school who lives alone in the beautifully restored colonial plantation of Whitehall Manor.
Their casual friendship soon turns serious, becoming a full on relationship as Katelyn falls madly in love with James. Their lives begin blending together, twisting and turning, as they continue to grow closer. But James is not the man she thinks he is. After several strange incidents, dark secrets begin to come to the surface. Katelyn soon develops a series of unsettling questions about her new love. She begins searching her own soul for answers, forcing her to question whether or not to continue their relationship. She finally decides that she must know the answers regardless of the outcome to their relationship.
When Katelyn confronts him with her questions she soon discovers James' true nature. His confirmation of her suspicions validates her fears that he was indeed not the man she thought, but the man she feared him to be. His revelations shock her, turning her world view on its side. She is forced to acknowledge things about herself and her world that she never thought possible. She discovers that old folklore and fairy-tales are real in a world where vampires live and love side by side with humans.
Katelyn continues to uncover secrets as she attempts to adjust what she believes is truth. With her new found knowledge, Katelyn soon realizes she must make a choice. Does she continue her relationship with James, or does she live without him. Will love overcome all? Can she give up all she knows and all she is to be with him? Can she make the right decision when it comes to James, the Master of Whitehall Manor?
The sweeping saga of The Master of Whitehall is set in historic Charleston, South Carolina and will appeal to readers of Rachael Caine's Morganville Vampires, Charlene Harris' True Blood series, and Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles.
Lexi's story is one
of discovery and growth as a shy and sheltered academic young girl faces the
unknowns of an adult world. After being given her life-long dream of teaching
history in a European college, she begins to settle comfortably into adulthood,
surrounded by other academics at The University of Berlin.
Lexi begins her story by recalling how, only a month after her twenty-second birthday she is suddenly diagnosed with terminal cancer. She recounts her devastation at learning she only has weeks to live. She visits Katelyn at Whitehall, and with tears of fear and sadness at her future, begins to tell her best friend 'good-bye'. But soon after her arrival Lexi is offered an unexpected cure from a very unlikely source. She discovers the existence of an entirely new life and is shocked beyond belief by Katelyn's revelations to her of 'The Gift'. Katelyn describes a life that is free of sickness and death; one that can be hers simply for the asking. Her only option being death and an early grave, Lexi embraces 'The Gift' and begins her journey into immortality.
Lexi relates her experiences as Katelyn gently leads her to the change, turning her from mortal to immortal. She describes in detail the changes that take place in her as she enters a supernatural world she never knew existed. She easily slips into the life of an immortal and two best friends become eternal friends. When she wakes from the change, she joins Katelyn and James at Whitehall Manor, embraced in love as the newest and youngest member of a supernatural family.
Lexi narrates her tale of life … lost and suddenly found again. She describes what it is like to leave one life behind and look forward to another. She tells of the fear and uncertainty, as she steps out to begin a completely new journey into an immortal life. She knows as she enters into the life of a fledgling vampire, that she has much to learn about her new world. She quickly begins to discover and develop untold powers that were latent in her human life. The life of the Immortal becomes stronger in her as she tells of her first hunt, the sadness of attending her own funeral, and her beginning search for devotion, for and from, a mate in her new world.:Lexi invites you to join her now, as she leads you on an adventure of life changing proportions … an adventure with many unexpected twists and turns … an adventure of growth and maturity into the life of a vampire … an adventure of love.
Lexi's Legacy is set in both Charleston, South Carolina and Savannah, Georgia and will appeal to readers of Rachael Caine's Morganville Vampires, Charlene Harris' True Blood series, and Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles.

|NBA Basketball
|Player News
NBA Player News
|LeBron James, Cle, F
|James averaged 35.6 minutes per game last season, a career-low, and if Cavaliers coach Tyronn Lue gets his way, James could play even less this season.
Analysis: James, 31, played 39.1 minutes per game in the playoffs. Lue said effectiveness is not the concern, rather longevity and stamina into the summer months when the NBA Finals wrap. To be in position to defend the NBA title, Cleveland is carving a detailed plan for James to get plenty of rest.
|Cameron Payne, OKC, PG
|Payne sustained an acute fracture in his right foot in the team's open scrimmage, the team announced on Thursday. Payne is expected to visit his physician and additional specialists to determine his next course of action.
Analysis: Payne, 22, underwent surgery in late July on his right foot to repair a Jones fracture and was cleared to return for training camp. The 14th overall selection of the 2015 NBA draft, Payne averaged 5.0 points, 1.9 assists and 1.5 rebounds in 57 games during his rookie season. With Payne on the mend, veteran Ronnie Price is expected to serve as the primary backup to superstar Russell Westbrook.
|Paul Pierce, LAC, F
|Pierce announced Monday he will retire at the end of the 2016-17 season, his 19th in the NBA.
Analysis: The 38-year-old Pierce made the announcement in a post published by The Players' Tribune. Pierce said he is eager to win a championship with the Clippers. The 6-foot-7, 235-pound Pierce was named an NBA All-Star 10 times and enters this season fourth on the all-time list in 3-point field goals made. He has averaged 20 points, 5.7 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game in his career.
|Chase Budinger, Bkn, G-F
|The Nets signed Budinger and guard Jorge Gutierrez on Monday.
Analysis: The 6-foot-7, 215-pound Budinger has appeared in 407 career NBA games (50 starts) with Phoenix (2015-16), Indiana (2015-16), Minnesota (2012-15) and Houston (2009-12). He holds averages of 7.9 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 19.7 minutes per game. Budinger, 28, was selected 44th overall out of the University of Arizona in the second round of the 2009 NBA draft by the Detroit Pistons before being traded on draft night to the Rockets.
|Jorge Gutierrez, Bkn, PG
|The Nets signed Gutierrez on Monday.
Analysis: The 6-3, 195-pound Gutierrez most recently played for the Charlotte Hornets during the 2015-16 season after NBA stints with Milwaukee (2014-15) and the Nets (2013-15). In 47 career NBA games, he holds averages of 2.9 points, 1.1 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 10.3 minutes per contest. The 27-year-old Gutierrez, who began his pro career playing for Pioneros de Quintana Roo in Mexico (2012-13), has had four stints in the NBA Development League over the past four years.
|Mo Williams, Cle, G
|Williams has informed the Cavaliers he's officially retired. Williams had waffled on whether he would return all summer and the 33-year-old told the Cavs about his plans Monday shortly before the NBA champions held their media day.
Analysis: Williams played two stints with Cleveland. He was not in coach Tyronn Lue's rotation for much of last season, but wound up playing in the NBA Finals when Matthew Dellavedova struggled.
|Chris Bosh, Mia, F-C
|Bosh has failed his physical, meaning the Heat will not clear him for training camp next week and casting serious doubt on his playing future.
Analysis: It's a major setback for the 11-time All-Star forward, who wants to resume playing even though each of his last two seasons was cut short by blood clots. Bosh was examined by multiple doctors in recent days in an attempt to be cleared for camp, which beings next week.
|Kevin Garnett, Min, F-C
|Garnett announced his retirement after 21 NBA seasons on Friday.
Analysis: The Minneapolis Star Tribune reported that Garnett and the Timberwolves reached a contract settlement earlier Friday. Garnett was signed for $8 million this season. Garnett, 40, easily the most productive player in franchise history, spent 13 1/2 of his 21 NBA seasons with Minnesota. He was drafted out of high school in 1995 and developed into one of the top power forwards in NBA history.
|Scott Wood, GS, SF
|The Golden State Warriors signed Wood, the team announced Friday.
Analysis: Wood, 26, spent the past three seasons playing overseas with UCAM Murcia in Spain's top league, Liga ACB. He averaged 9.1 points and 1.6 rebounds and 21.1 minutes over 103 games.
|Paul Millsap, Atl, F-C
|Millsap will be rested for three weeks and will miss the first two preseason games following a procedure to reduce swelling in his right knee.
Analysis: The Hawks say Millsap recently had ''a preventative procedure'' and will have ''phases of rest and recovery'' for the next three weeks before returning to full basketball activities. Hawks coach and president of basketball operations Mike Budenholzer says the procedure was timed to make sure Millsap is ready for the regular season.
|Thomas Robinson, LAL, F-C
|The Lakers signed Robinson on Wednesday.
Analysis: Robinson played for five teams in his first four NBA seasons, averaging 4.9 points and 4.8 rebounds. He spent last season with Brooklyn, starting seven games in 71 appearances. Robinson was the fifth overall pick in the 2012 draft by Sacramento. He also has played for Houston, Portland and Philadelphia.
|Metta World Peace, LAL, F
|The Lakers are ready to give World Peace a chance again. The 36-year-old told ESPN on Wednesday that he has agreed to a one-year deal with the Lakers, who are coached by former teammate Luke Walton.
Analysis: The 16-year NBA veteran feels he has more to add after averaging 5.0 points and 2.5 rebounds in 35 games for the Lakers last season. "I'm excited about everything. I'm prepared to help the young guys grow. To play, everything," World Peace told ESPN.
|Khris Middleton, Mil, G-F
|Middleton has a left hamstring injury that will require surgery, sidelining the team's best outside shooter for about six months.
Analysis: The Bucks announced the injury Wednesday. Surgery is planned for the next week. Middleton tore the hamstring in a workout Tuesday. The 25-year-old Middleton averaged a career-high 18.2 points and 4.2 assists in 79 games last season. He was drafted by Detroit in the second round in 2012 and traded to Milwaukee the following year.
|Kevin Garnett, Min, F-C
|The Timberwolves are working on a buyout with Garnett. The two sides have been engaged in talks for some time. When completed it will assure that Garnett will not return to the team next season.
Analysis: The 40-year-old Garnett is under contract for $8 million next season. Garnett returned to the Timberwolves at the trade deadline in 2014. He has served as a valuable mentor to a young roster but has struggled to stay on the court due to recurring knee problems. Garnett played 38 games last season, averaging 3.2 points, 3.9 rebounds and 14.6 minutes.
|Louis Amundson, NY, PF
|The Knicks re-signed Amundson on Monday.
Analysis: Amundson has played for 10 teams. He appeared in 70 games over the last two seasons with New York. He averaged 1.8 points and 1.7 rebounds over seven minutes a game last season.
|P.J. Tucker, Pho, G-F
|Tucker will miss 6 to 8 weeks after undergoing back surgery earlier this week.
Analysis: The timetable puts Tucker, the Suns' starting small forward and defensive stopper, unlikely to be available for the team's Oct. 26 opener. The 31-year-old played in all 82 games last season and averaged 8.0 points, 6.2 rebounds and 1.3 steals.

LC-MS Gains Favor Due To the...
GEN's editor-in-chief John Sterling is on the scene at the J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference currently going on in San Francisco. Here are some of his highlights from Day 2 of the meeting:
James Foster, long-time president and CEO of Charles River Laboratories, reported that his company's early stage drug discovery and preclinical projects have actually grown 20% In academic and government lab markets, just the opposite of what a number of other speakers described as soft markets. A big change, according to Foster, is that CRL now works with clients all the way from drug discovery through the preclinical stage rather than just being involved in a small section of this entire process. A huge shift and accompanying growth is taking place in the non-GLP drug discovery business, especially in oncology and CNS disorders. He said the drug discovery service business totals $6–8 billion. Endotoxins testing and microbial detection are the fastest growing segments in the area, he'd added.
Foster said an inflection point has been reached in that pharma companies and large biotechs are under huge pressures to reduce costs. Hence, increasing numbers of these companies are outsourcing their work to firms like CRL. So, to meet this need and to complement its own current portfolio of services, CRL acquired Accugenix last year to boost its endotoxins and microbial detection capabilities. And just this week CRL completed its acquisition of Vital River, which provides research models (animal models) and services in China, one of the world's most rapidly emerging biotech markets. According to Foster, additional acquisitions might be on the way.
Also, Bill Sullivan, CEO of Agilent, told the J.P. Morgan audience that Agilent's main focus is to become the top firm in measurement science. Pointing out that Agilent is already number one in liquid chromatography and number three in mass spec technologies, Sullivan noted that 10% of Agilent's R&D budget is devoted to measurement science. He also pointed out that most of the company's cash is generated outside the U.S.
Sullivan, like many other speakers at the conference, sees diagnostics as one of the main growth areas for his company. Along those lines, he cited Agilent's acquisition of Dako, a Danish cancer diagnostics company, as a major move in strengthening Agilent's expertise in diagnostics. Agilent will be looking for more acquisitions this year, he added. Sullivan called pharma, biotech, and forensics testing as main areas of interest for Agilent, and explained that the next-generation sequencing market is one of the most rapidly growing for the company.
Nick Roelofs, president of Agilent's life science group, took the podium after Sullivan. Again echoing other conference speakers, Roelofs sees huge potential in the clinical LC/MS market where Agilent is already strongly positioned. He added that as more plant and animal genomes are sequenced the ability of companies like Agilent to develop expertise in integrative biology techniques will be critical, along with advances in sample prep procedures.
Pointing out that diagnostics is the company's fastest growing market, with molecular diagnostics emerging rapidly, Roelofs predicts 10–12% long-term growth here. He said that he company was focusing on anatomical pathologists as significant potential users of molecular diagnostics—an area, according to Roelofs, in which China is underrepresented.

The Best Logo Designs Created by You – Part 1
This is the first part of an ongoing logo design series. Showcasing a collection of logos and brand marks, self submitted by a bunch of freelance designers and creative folk in many creative areas. These logo designs are not random. They are the designs created by the designers themselves. These are the logos each designer here feels is their best design, for any number of reasons.
If you want to be part of this logo design series, then details can be found at the bottom of this post.
What this collection is not
This is not a competition, it's not a best of in terms of comparison with the other designs, it's not a who has the best logo, it's not a collection of logos that I have chosen. They are logos supplied by those that wanted to be part of this post.
This series will go on indefinitely, all the time there are designers prepared to submit their logo designs. If you have submitted recently, but your logo is not included in this post, don't worry, it will be in the next one. I keep each post limited to around 12 logos per post, on a first come first served type of basis.
Your Best Logo Designs - Part 1
Logo Name : Print & Pixels
Becky Bryant - Print Production Artist - http://printandpixels.co.uk
This logo is for my Freelancing work. I've created this logo in order to "brand" myself. I recently finished my HNC in design and whilst I already have a job in the industry I've been looking for ways to broaden my portfolio. Since going on to a full-time degree was out of the question I've chosen to try and get some freelancing work on the side. Thus I needed a name for myself.
I didn't want to use my own name so I spent a while brain storming names. Two stuck in my mind, 'Colourific' and 'Print & Pixels'. As I've been working in print design for a few years I didn't want to pigeon-hole myself into just working in one medium. Plus my non-design friends liked the name 'Print & Pixels!
I then spent some time sketching anything that came to mind, as you might be able to see on my Flickr account http://www.flickr.com/Which lead me to the idea of combining the two 'P's into the ampersand of the brand-name.
The current incarnation is my 'best' logo I think. Mainly because I've spent so much time refining it and working on it properly. I've created logos in the past but none of them come up to scratch in my opinion. Now I just need to settle on a colour scheme and finish my website! :)
Logo Name : DataDork
Jeff Fisher LogoMotives - Engineer of Creative Identity - http://jfisherlogomotives.com
A self-proclaimed "computer geek" client explained that, while dating during college, his wife referred to him as DataDork. He literally wanted to take ownership of the term graphically for his future computer/Internet
consulting business. I was a bit leery as to how far I could push the "computer geek" stereotypes within the identity imagery. However, after a number or relatively "safe" concepts, I included a short-sleeved white shirt, thick black eyeglass frames with tape repair, and a pocket protector with pen and mechanical pencil on an out-of-shape human form. After emailing the image off for review, I immediately received a phone call from the client telling me to "stop and don't do another thing" to the design. The typeface Retro Bold Condensed was the perfect compliment to the hard, primarily geometric, edges of the illustrative element.
I've always appreciated that I was able to so successfully convey the humor of the name (and its back story) in a relatively simple and sophisticated design. The client interaction, successful combination of type and imagery, one-color design, and public reaction to the design have always made it an effort I consider one of my best, and a constant personal favorite. The identity received major recognition when DataDork was honored with a Gold statuette in the Summit Creative Awards. It has also been featured in The Big Book of Logos 3, Letterhead and Logo Design 7, Graphically Speaking, Global Corporate Identity, LogoLounge, Volume 1 (icon), Logo Design for Small Business 2, and New Logo: One (Singapore).
Logo Design Name : PixelCandy
Fred McCoy – Pixel Candy Studio Logo – http://pixelcandy.net
My best, professionally crafted logo turns out to be the one that I did for myself. I had gone through at least 30 possible variations when designing it and had the luxury to spend as much time as I wanted (with respect to my other work) to get it just how I liked it. I wanted something that stood out, was easy on the eyes, and snagged attention from the viewer right away.
Logo Design Name : JuanMogi
Shin Japardi – Juan Mogi Ministerial – http://juanmogi.com
The Brief: Juan Mogi is an outstanding young pastor in Gilgal ministries located in Central Jakarta. Besides serving God, he is also an exceptional motivator, a successful author of the bestseller book entitled 'Nothing is Impossible', a loving husband and a proud father of a 7 months old baby girl named Charissa Mogi.
The concept: A logo type was chosen to best represent Juan Mogi's characteristic. The 'crux ordinaria' was place at the center (heart) of the logo to portray the presence of Jesus in his life. The cross also depicts his constructive teaching, writing and motivational words that will impact people's lives in a remarkable and amazing way.
The color: The words 'Juan' and 'Mogi' in the logo are separated by different colors.
The Bondi Blue that is used in the word 'Juan' represents the peace, unity, harmony, tranquility, calmness, trust, coolness and confidence that are portrayed under his leadership.
While the color black represents his modernity, his power (influence), his sophistication and his elegance in teaching and spreading the good news of the Lord.
The typeface: Baskerville is chosen here, for the purpose of adding a classic touch to the modern feel. It has a very 'sharp' finish and it is used for its flexibility and transitional values that has happen over the years as we hope that these 'transitional values' in Pastor Juan's teachings will bring an encouraging impact in people's lives.
Logo Design Name : Out on a Limb
Kristine Johnson - Cognition Studio - http://cognitionstudio.com
I created this logo in 2004 for a boutique woman owned small business, who's specialty is fine tree pruning. The logo needed to be delicate yet strong; bold but not overpowering. In a saturated marketplace, like the Pacific NW, the mark needed to be unique from all other competitors yet be approachable for clientele.
I spent a lot of time with the owner, shadowing her as she climbed in and out of trees for hours on end. I had that "a-ha!" moment when I was standing at the bottom of the tree holding her rope as she speed climbed up using an old-school foot-locking technique. The perspective of her getting into that tree was amazing, not to mention just how fast she could climb with nothing but her bare hand and feet on a rope.
Taking the owner's philosophy of traditional tree care, deep rooted love for non-harming techniques and hard core physicality of the job, blended it with the customers perspective of looking up at the workers in the tree, gave me the inspiration to create this logo.
I've created a core of award winning logos, one recently featured in Graphis design annual, but this is my favorite because it was done for a small boutique business that has gained notoriety around the world. Kathy Holzer, the owner of Out on a Limb Tree Company, has competed in international tree climbing competitions (taking first place in 2005) and she wears gear with her logo silk screened on it. She always brings a handful of shirts and sweatshirt to give out to top-notch competitors from around the world, but always leaves with a stack of orders to fill when she gets home. This logo has been printed on more hoodies and technical shirts and shipped around the world because tree climbers just digg it that much, it has a cult like following. Why wouldn't it be my favorite when I know it did the job that well?
Logo Design Name : Cleveland Browns
Chris Modarelli - Art Director for the Cleveland Browns - http://www.krop.com/
I created this logo as part of the Cleveland Browns 60th Anniversary season. It was to be used in conjunction with all training camp promotions and event signage. It was also to appear as a patch on the team uniform during training camp.
I wanted to create a logo that not only had a retro feel, but that also showed a piece of franchises history. I did this by using the old "brownie" icon from 1946 which I re-created from old program covers.
Logo Design Name : Mosaic Homes
Trish Schaefer - Mosaic Homes - http://contemporary-native.com
I designed this logo in 2006 in Phoenix, AZ. I consider this the best logo I have ever designed because it is the only logo where I experienced an "ah ha" moment. Usually my original idea for a logo works for me and the client. I've had great success coming up with an initial design concept and getting it approved. It's actually very hard for me to change gears and come up with other concepts if the client demands several concepts or doesn't like the initial idea. This is obviously a failing on my part and something I work on every day when designing. That is why this logo is so important to me.
My initial idea for this logo didn't work for me. I didn't even show it to the client it was so bad. Not that the idea was bad, but that I could not execute it decently. Usually that is my main issue when designing. Can I execute the idea I have decently and do it justice. I can't always perform up to my own expectations. And this was a major execution failure on my part. My original idea was to create unique tiles incorporating the initials M and H in a Mediterranean inspired design. I did the research, found some designs, established a color palette (SouthWest inspired) and set to drawing. Yuck is all I can say.
My second idea was much simplified and good. But I felt it may be too generic. It was a grouping of monotone tiles with the name Mosaic next to them. It had a nice feel, but I had an inkling it had been done before. As it turned out I saw almost my exact design on a billboard months later for Mosaic Bank! Glad I didn't submit that idea to the client.
So I had to push myself to come up with something new. I had a simple house outline I had used in some fine art pieces back in college and grabbed it for the project. At first I was working with house shaped tiles, but that wasn't working. It wasn't until I dragged the house outline over the monotone tiles for the second idea that my "ah ha" moment happened. From that point on it was like putting the final pieces of a jigsaw together. Everything just fell into place.
And there it was, the perfect logo. A house made out of standard tile, but with the tiles done in such a way as to evoke an outdoor scene with sun, sky and earth around the house. From that point on I could see the mosaic tile house done in actual tile and am still hoping to see it.
I consider the mosaic tile house the bestest logo I've ever done. I am deliberately excluding the type for a couple of reasons. I do like the fonts I chose and adjusted to fit around the mark I made, but I was without internet at the time and had a limited amount of fonts at my disposal to work with. I like what I chose, don't get me wrong, but I can see the font being updated some day in the future. When choosing the fonts I did, I tried to keep in mind old fashion wrought iron used decoratively on homes, gates, fences, etc. Something with curves, but not too curvy. I also had the client chose the final font/s. In the end we went with Phyllis Initials for the caps and Book Antiqua for the lower case letters. If the logo were ever done in tile, the fonts would be done in bronze and copper on top of the tile. Not only had I designed the logo, but their outdoor sign as well.
Unfortunately the property market crashed not too long after this logo was approved and paid for. The client is sitting on the brand for now. Waiting for the new build property market to turn around. We both look forward to seeing it used to its fullest potential some day.
The step by step designing of this logo can also be seen on page 120 of "The Secret Life of Logos" book by Leslie Cabarga.
Logo Design Name : Rejuvé Eascapes
Designer Name - Jenny Buffkin
This is a logo that I designed with a spa or resort in mind. It would offer various body works and treatments, but focus on hot stone therapy, thus my reason using warm color's throughout. Since these type of treatments are uplifting and relaxing, the repetitive circles of "stones" are sized to give the feeling of floating upward. Weightless. Balanced.
How'd I come up with the name? The name "RejuvÈ" is derived from the term "rejuvenation" and "escapes" well, we all want an escape now and then, right?
Combine the mark with the energetic typeface ( Lourdes) and you have a successful logo that communicates very well with the target audience. This is my favorite mark because of the wonderful place I'm taken to in my mind, each time I see it.
Logo Design Name : God's Mac
Gabe Taviano - http://GabeTaviano.com - Web Design - www.Taviano.com
This is the logo I designed for our GodsMac.com site / podcast. Our podcast was started to begin discussion online about how the Bible / Christian faith changes how we use technology.
Most people that use technology often end up becoming Mac users. Myself and the co-hosts of the show are Mac users, so most of our podcast and site content covers either basic / web technologies or Mac-centric stuff. The difficult part was finding a name that fit, which ended up being a bit of a spin-off of the rock band GodSmack.
As we were designing the logo we really wanted to tie our faith and technology together, and also give it a Mac flavor. While looking through the history of Mac logos we realized that the older blue / face logo that had been used resembled a cross when flipped vertically. So we set off to design a web 2.0ish logo, and what you see is the result. We get quite a bit of a feedback on the logo, and definitely appreciate it when those with a keen eye realize the Mac-inverted logo attempt.
Logo Design Name : QSN kwaliteitsmanagement
Bart van der Griendt - Idity - http://www.idity.nl
In a business sector defined by either meticulous fact or just too much red tape, quality service provider QSN desired to be the fresh and innovative alternative. In stead of focussing on acquiring quality certificates for customers, QSN helps it's clients by applying quality management rather than certificates. It's brand signals needed to convey that quality management is a natural process which leads to growth.
Early on we decided against using any kind of symbol in the logo. QSN was relatively new in the market, so name recognition had a high priority. Purely typographical logo's are best suited for that purpose. However - letters and letters only tend to leave a cerebral and constructed image on the mind, while QSN's brand values revolve around naturalness and inspiration. I solved this puzzle by a balancing act. Heavy and robust on the outside, light and airy on the inside. The letters become windows on a fluent landscape, the logo is stable and dynamic in one.
For any letterform to have content and still be readable, it needs to be ultrabold. There really aren't that many robust enough ultrabolds out there. I opted for a classic: Frutiger Ultrablack, mostly because it manages to stay elegant even in this extreme weight. It turned out very hard to fit the landscape in the letterforms without compromising readability, doubly so when scaled down to small sizes. Furthermore the gradients might be easy on screen, but using inks it is quite another story. The final logo didn't come to me as an epiphany, like it sometimes does, but as the end result of simple loving labor and patiently trying to find solutions.
For it's tagline 'kwaliteitsmanagement' (Quality management) I chose Preface light, a perfectly airy companion to the monumental Frutiger Ultrablack.

Georgia's governor signed Senate Bill 431, a bill intended to regulate Internet cafes by prohibiting "any promotion involving an element of chance which involves the playing of a game on a computer, mechanical device, or electronic device at a place of business in this state." As we reported earlier, members of the promotions industry are concerned because the bill is ambiguous and broadly drafted and on its face appears to prohibit, among other things, cash prizes in all types of sweepstakes. The bill became effective upon the Governor's signature.
We will notify you of any guidance provided by Georgia that may explain how it will be interpreted or enforced.
The Federal Trade Commission announced a settlement with Myspace over disclosure of Myspace users' personal information. The FTC alleged that despite the promises contained in its privacy policy, Myspace provided advertisers with the unique identifier of Myspace users who were viewing particular pages on the social networking site. Advertisers could use the unique identifier to locate a user's Myspace profile to obtain personal information publicly available on the profile and, in most instances, the user's full name. According to the FTC, advertisers also could combine the user's real name and other personal information with additional information to link broader web-browsing activity to a specific individual. The FTC claimed that these practices violated Myspace's privacy policy.
The agency also claimed that Myspace certified that it was complying with the U.S.-EU Safe Harbor Framework, which provides a method for U.S. companies to transfer personal data lawfully from the European Union to the United States. As part of its self-certification, Myspace claimed that it complied with the Safe Harbor Principles, including the requirements that consumers be given notice of how their information will be used and the choice to opt out. The FTC alleged that these statements were false.
Under the proposed settlement, Myspace is required to establish a comprehensive privacy program designed to protect consumers' information, and to obtain biennial assessments of its privacy program by independent, third-party auditors for 20 years.

UN512/03 Eyewear
The term "visual aid" is unsuitable for UN512. This is an accessory that ushers in a new you, emphasizing your clear view on fashion. The UN512 is available in the Edel-Optics online shop in other styles from Vienna Design collections 2015 and 2016.
This Vienna Design model is an all-rounder, equally suiting men and women. Wearing full rim eyewear, you make it unmistakably clear that you are going the whole hog. The quadratic shape is a good choice, especially for softer facial features. The square glasses give more contour to a round face. The straight outer edges also give the impression that the face is longer. The noble metal frame allows for filigree lines and creates an extraordinary lightness in appearance. In addition, metal eyeglasses are virtually indestructible - strong, flexible and corrosion resistant.
Moreover, we can also provide you with the correct prescription lenses at an incredibly low price. The only thing you need to provide us with are your current dioptre values determined by your ophthalmologist. Together with our digital dispensing optician, you can choose between reasonably priced brand lenses from Germany or premium brands such as Seiko, Hoya and Rodenstock. Edel-Optics' plastic lenses have many features such as anti-reflection coating, lotus effect, cleaning coating, antistatic and hard coating at no extra charge.
In our online shop we have consistently low prices. You won't get UN512 at such a low price, not even in the sale.

A second class action lawsuit was filed in U.S. District Court in Amarillo alleging Hastings Entertainment violated federal securities laws.
Douglas G. Scriber, who purchased 10 shares of Hastings stock in July 1999, is the lead plaintiff in this suit, which, like another in federal court here and at least two others in other federal courts, alleges Hastings and its officers deceived investors with misleading statements about its cost of revenues.
The suit alleges that when Hastings announced in March it had discovered an error in how it recorded the costs of certain revenues, the stock price faltered.
The various lawsuits are expected to be consolidated into a single action, possibly as early as the end of May.

Sensitive corporate and consumer data have become a highly sought-after commodity, making both small and large businesses potential targets for an attack. With increasing amounts of data being collected, processed and transmitted, businesses need to be more vigilant about securing and protecting data. A data breach can lead to significant financial exposure and substantial reputational damage.
Increasingly, financial institutions, retailers and other businesses must face far-reaching legal consequences. New and ever-changing data protection laws in the United States and globally that regulate the collection, use and security of sensitive information create a complex set of obligations that can be difficult for companies to navigate successfully. Regulators now expect companies to take steps to protect against invasions, such as performing risk assessments of their data and their third-party relationships.
Solutions to these complex problems come from multidisciplinary teams. Our faculty will share their insights into preventing data breaches and minimizing exposure when breaches occur and personal information has been compromised.

By Jonas Fortune
Beacon Journal sports writer
It was an odd sight Monday at Firestone Country Club's South Course.
Plenty of golfers were arriving, preparing and practicing for this weekend's Bridgestone Invitational.
But the group at the end of the practice range was taking it to the extreme.
Gray wires lined the back of a test subject like an artificial spine.
Sensors reached out to hands and legs, ruffling pant legs and forcing the man to wear gloves on both hands. Black straps across his shoulders, chest and head held all the wires together. A wire snaked out to the shaft of the club, too.
No, it wasn't EA Sports capturing motion for next year's version of the popular Tiger Woods video game, but it wasn't far off.
This was motion capturing for science, for a healthy golf swing.
''Do you know how many degrees your golf swing is off each time?'' asked Marc Wahl, a sports physiotherapist with Pro-Golf Health.
''I do,'' Wahl said before showing the three-dimensional swing rendering he recorded on his test subject a few minutes earlier.
Each rendering is connected to graphs showcasing the motion of the arms, legs, pelvis, shoulders, head and club throughout the swing. The data showcase when a shoulder, hip or arm is just off slightly, something the eye itself would probably never notice.
''The money is the graphs,'' he said. ''That's the best stuff.''
The technology allows for small tinkering and documentation for when a swing is going well — or badly — for a stable of clients that includes Henrik Stenson, Padraig Harrington, Graeme McDowell and Ross Fisher.
It is primarily used at World Golf Championships Events, and has been for three years now. It is easier to reach all 11 of the company's mostly European clients, he said.
''That's a bit extreme for me,'' Ben Curtis said of all the wires dangling all over the golfer.
Curtis, a Kent State graduate, was being monitored by computer equipment, too, as he tried out his new Titlest 910 D2 prototype driver. Curtis said he has used the club the past few months, but Monday he was monitoring the spin, loft, line and face angle of the club. The driver, which features detachable heads, is not available commercially yet.
Another in field
Jeff Overton was barely edged by Stuart Appleby — and his 11-under-par 59 — in the Greenbrier Classic Sunday at the Old White Course in White Sulphur Springs, W.Va.
But Overton still got a nice consolation prize. The high finish propelled him into the top 50 of the official world golf rankings, securing a last-second spot in the Bridgestone Invitational field. Overton is ranked No. 47.
Tiger Woods, defending champion and seven-time winner, has been ranked No. 1 for 270 consecutive weeks and 612 weeks overall through his career.
Ticket clarification
The price of Bridgestone tickets was incorrect recently in the Beacon Journal. Tickets are $40 at the gate for the Thursday- through-Sunday competition. Fans can save $10 when they buy tickets in advance.
The $95 four-day tickets are no longer available.
Today's and Wednesday's practice rounds are $15 in advance and $25 at the gate.
Tickets may be purchased in advance at http://worldgolfchampionships.com, by calling 330-644-2299 or at the gate. Children 18 and under are admitted free with a ticketed adult. Active and retired military and their dependents are admitted free.

Storing your passwords properly
Security Blanket
High-performance graphics cards and proper storage can help keep your passwords secure.
Computer performance has come a long way in the past few years. Moore's law has continued moving forward; right now, you can easily find a high-end CPU with 6 to 12 cores for between a few hundred and a thousand dollars.
But what if you want to throw a couple hundred cores at a problem? You could buy a rack or two of equipment, or you could just spend a few hundred dollars on a video card. In fact, graphics cards are so good at certain types of computation that both NVidia and AMD now make specialized cards (the NVidia Tesla series and the AMD FireStream series) that have a ton of cores, several gigabytes of memory, and extremely fast interconnects.

Foreclosure relief in state hits $86.2 million
Wisconsin residents who were improperly foreclosed on received $86.2 million in relief by the end of September as a result of a national mortgage settlement with five banks accused of abuses, according to a report released Monday.
In Wisconsin, 1,873 customers with Bank of America, Citigroup, Wells Fargo, JP Morgan Chase and Ally Financial/GMAC have benefited from some kind of consumer relief through the end of September, the companies reported to the national settlement administrator. That's a benefit of more than $46,000 per borrower. »Read Full Article(6)
Hospitals may outperform under new health care law
President Barack Obama's re-election has secured the future of health care reform, and many believe that will dramatically change the profit picture for hospitals.
As many as 10% of all patients that hospitals treat are uninsured, said Whit Mayo, senior research analyst for health care facilities and services in the Nashville, Tenn., office of Robert W. Baird & Co. Consequently, charity and uncompensated care represent, on average, as much as 30% of hospitals' revenue, he said. »Read Full Article(14)
