UVA Law Students Witness Genocide Trial of Former Guatemalan President
Second-year University of Virginia law students Kendra Wergin and Mariah Thompson traveled to Guatemala last week as part of a National Lawyers Guild delegation to observe the genocide trial of former Guatemalan president Gen. José Efraín Ríos Montt.
Wergin and Thompson were among nine lawyers and four law students in the delegation who witnessed Ríos Montt's trial, and met with human rights activists, survivors, lawyers and government officials, including Guatemalan Attorney General Claudia Paz y Paz and the outgoing president of Guatemala's Constitutional Court.
Ríos Montt was facing charges of genocide and crimes against humanity that allegedly took place during his rule in 1982-83.
"Everyone in Guatemala is waiting for decisions from the Constitutional Court that will decide the fate of this trial, and, in the eyes of many, the future of the country," Wergin said.
Wergin wrote the following account of her trip and the delegation's experience:
"Seeking Justice for Genocide in Guatemala: My Experiences with the National Lawyers Guild Delegation to the Genocide Trial of José Efraín Ríos Montt"
It's 7 p.m. on Saturday, April 20, and I've just returned from a week in Guatemala City, where I was part of a delegation of lawyers observing the genocide trial of former president Ríos Montt, who took over Guatemala in a coup and ruled for about 18 months between 1982 and 1983. During that time, the Guatemalan army conducted a scorched-earth campaign against the many indigenous groups in the country, saying that they were part of the counterinsurgency that had put the country into a civil war (a war that didn't end until 1996). An estimated 200,000 people died during the course of the 36-year war, but nearly 81 percent of the human rights violations reviewed by a U.N. truth commission occurred during 1981-83. This trial is the first of its kind; no other country in history has tried a former leader in its own courts for genocide committed against its own people.
To put this in context, Guatemala is the 27th country I've had the good fortune to visit. It isn't the first politically unstable country I've spent time in (Venezuela, Colombia, Bosnia and Kosovo come to mind), but it is the poorest — at least based on what I saw in Guatemala City. The travel books I consulted prior to the trip make an effort to manage expectations; consider the following opening description from the Rough Guide to Central America: "Guatemala City is now the largest city in Central America, home to over three million people. Characterized by an intensity and vibrancy that simultaneously fascinate and horrify, Guatemala's capital is a shapeless and swelling metropolitan mass ... Not even a wild imagination will be able to make it out as a pleasant environment — indeed, for many travelers time spent in the capital is an exercise in damage limitation." Most of the city that I saw (and it is perhaps important to note that I saw only a very small portion of a pretty large spread) looked entirely run down and reflected the violence permeating both Guatemala City and the rest of the country; I've never seen so much barbed wire before (on rooftops, around doors, around windows). There's also hardly any greenery, and the air is so polluted that the sky remains gray and the mountains around the city are practically invisible on the horizon behind all the hazy air. Cars, trucks and buses clog the streets and make driving with the windows down very ill-advised unless you're attempting to strengthen your lungs' tolerance for carbon dioxide, smoke and dust. It's a visually exhausting and depressing city. Then of course, as is common in many developing countries, you can't drink the water, so even the most basic routines like brushing your teeth require additional effort. I mentioned Kosovo above; Pristina (the capital of Kosovo) is much more comfortable than Guatemala City. Even if you haven't been to Pristina, that should give you an idea of how disheartening Guatemala City is.
I mention none of this to complain; it is part of (and indeed, the point of) traveling to experience life as others do and, for those of us from the U.S. or other countries of relative economic and political stability, to appreciate what we have. I include this description as a means of providing additional context for this trial and illustrating the many struggles that exist in Guatemala.
One of the things that most impacted me this week was the constant repetition of gratitude from the Guatemalans with whom we met, whether they were lawyers, judges, human rights activists, journalists or survivors of the genocide. (And there is no doubt in my mind that "genocide" is the appropriate term for what happened in Guatemala.) I think for many of us this was the first time we found ourselves in a situation where we were truly meant to observe rather than act. We had all gone to law school to advocate, to be active participants in shaping our country's legal, social and political future. Whenever we asked, "What else can we do to help you?" the answer was always, "It is so important just that you are here." Guatemala and the rest of the countries in Central America are consistently ignored by most Americans despite their proximity to our country and our government's history of active (and often negative) involvement in their internal affairs. It is thus crucially important that all of us who observed the trial and the corresponding political frenzy this week share what we saw with everyone we can at home. As I said on a radio show on Thursday, we all have a responsibility to prevent genocide, crimes against humanity and other violations of human rights — regardless of where we live or what work we do. (And for genocide specifically, the Genocide Convention actually obligates countries to intervene when genocide is suspected — an obligation which sadly has been grievously under-implemented.) I couldn't put on my suit jacket and join the prosecution team in court or help to protect any of the lawyers, judges, witnesses or other activists, but I can write about what I saw to raise awareness and, hopefully, make people care.
In a nutshell, here's what we saw during our five days of trial observations and meetings: a highly polarized battle for justice in the face of overt political opposition and danger.
I arrived on Sunday to [see] a 20-page supplement in one of the newspapers denying that genocide ever took place. The current president of Guatemala, Otto Pérez Molina, went on to officially support this view later in the week despite having been implicated for genocide himself during witness testimony last week. He has also stated concern that this trial will endanger the peace in the country.
At this point two things are worth pointing out: First, the tensions highlighted by the trial are not the result of the trial but rather reflections of the many problems lingering from the civil war. A society does not recover quickly from a 36-year civil war, especially one involving genocide. The trial may provide more reason to bring these tensions to the forefront of daily media coverage, but it's certainly not a cause of the underlying struggles for rights and recognition. Second, it appears that many members of the general public reject the idea that genocide did not take place in Guatemala during the early 1980s. I saw numerous graffiti pieces saying "justicia genocidio" (justice for genocide) or "sí hubo genocidio" (yes there was genocide), and on Thursday night when we were among the audience of at least 300 people at a documentary film premiere, I witnessed the majority of the audience start to chant "ge-no-ci-dio" after the Minister of Culture, while welcoming the crowd, said the current president's name. This chanting lasted for at least a full minute and briefly recurred when Ríos Montt himself appeared in the film.
The courts have proved a very complicated arena for fighting this battle for the right to determine history. I am still trying to understand the system of many different courts that have made various contributions to the progress of this trial. Guatemalan law provides for amparos, appeals made in-the-moment rather than after judgment and sentencing (as it works here in the U.S.). Three judges sit on the actual trial bench, and a different judge or set of judges will make the decision for each amparo. From my perspective, it's very much a "too many cooks spoil the broth" type of situation, particularly in a country not known for its rule of law or lack of corruption. This week we got to observe directly how the presiding trial judge, Jasmin Barrios, handled the actual trial, and we joined the rest of the public in attempting to understand the decisions of judges in other courts and how those decisions would impact the trial's progress.
Jasmin Barrios is, quite simply, one of the most inspiring people I've ever had the privilege to see in action. My incomplete knowledge of Spanish combined with the imperfect sound system limited my understanding of her, but I always understood her attitude: her professionalism, strength and commitment to a fair trial shone through in everything she said and did. Despite ridiculous antics by the defense lawyers, who seemed bent on delaying the proceedings and creating opportunities for appeal rather than actually presenting a case, Judge Barrios remained calm and patient (though still very forceful) in moderating the proceedings. This is a woman who accepts no nonsense in her courtroom.
On Thursday, while I was part of a small group meeting with the former president of the Constitutional Court (the country's highest court and one of the bodies making decisions impacting the trial), we heard the news that another judge, Carol Patricia Flores, had annulled the trial because of what she apparently perceived as procedural errors and based on her reading of a recent decision by the Constitutional Court. Many have disagreed with this reading as an illegal or at least overbroad interpretation of the Constitutional Court's decision; the former president of the court said as much to us and to a reporter while we were with him. An annulment would erase everything that had happened with this trial since November 2011 (including all of the prior procedural work; the trial itself didn't begin until March 19 of this year) and would obviously be a tremendous step backwards, on numerous levels. The attorney general, Claudia Paz y Paz (with whom we met on Wednesday afternoon), issued a statement late Thursday evening calling the annulment illegal and promising that they would appeal the decision with all due force.
We entered a packed courtroom on Friday morning anxious to see how Judge Barrios would react to the decision of Judge Flores. On top of the annulment decision, she also had to deal with the fact that the defense counsel had walked out of court the previous morning in protest, leaving Ríos Montt and his co-defendant, José Mauricio Rodríguez Sánchez, without lawyers — a constitutional right that exists even in the troubled judicial system of Guatemala. Protesters of the annulment decision had spent the night in front of the courthouse and left signs, banners, flowers, and lit and melted votive candles as symbols of their opposition to this obstruction of justice. One handwritten sign read "You're killing my Guatemala with all of this impunity." A large printed banner said "They raped them" over and over again, finally ending with "This is also genocide." (Rape is one of the central acts at issue in this trial, along with killing and forcible displacement.)
It was in this context that Judge Barrios marched into court on Friday morning and read a decision in which she rejected the annulment as illegal and non-binding on her court. For once, I understood everything she said, and thus I was able to join the rest of the breathless audience (comprised of many survivors along with other observers and even some foreign ambassadors) in applauding immediately when she read that sentence. She then proceeded to accept the prosecution's motion to assign public defenders for the two defendants given that their lawyers still had not appeared in court (and I believe she may also have accepted a motion to penalize the lawyers for abandoning their clients, a violation of their professional responsibility). When she adjourned court 10 minutes later, she received a standing ovation and took about a minute to stand still and acknowledge the applause, finally saying something like "I thank you for your confidence in our impartial judicial system" before walking out of the room. It was, without a doubt, one of the most incredible — and brave — things I've ever witnessed.
Speaking of brave, I have to take a few moments to discuss the tremendous courage that Judge Barrios and many others exhibit on a daily basis in the face of so much public pressure and very real threats against their well-being. One of our hosts, a prominent human rights activist, was himself a target of government threats during the 1980s; he spent seven years in exile after several attempts on his life (including a bomb placed in his car). He told us on Thursday and Friday that he is anxious to find some way to leave the country again, at least for a little while, because he feels increasingly unsafe. He said that he has accepted the risk inherent in his work (although of course that doesn't make for any additional peace of mind). To make this even more real, he took us to the Historical Archives of the National Police on Friday after the trial, and we saw his ficha (the index card summarizing his police file) on display, indicating that the police had closely followed his movements during the early 80s, before he fled the country. When he says he doesn't feel safe, he means it — he knows the signs all too well from prior experience. We've also heard that some human rights organizations are planning to close temporarily whenever the trial is finally complete. Activists know that they are pushing their safety to the limits right now and will need some time for things to cool down.
You can also appreciate why, based on everything I've described above, it is so significant that this trial is even happening. Nearly all other genocide trials have taken place in international courts like the International Criminal Tribunals for the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda or the hybrid international-domestic tribunals like the Special Court for Sierra Leone. (Rwanda has also conducted domestic proceedings for genocide, but these did not include prosecutions of those at such a high level of government. The only other genocide trials I am aware of have taken place in German and Israeli courts, and again not for high-ranking officials and also not for their own nationals. For those of you wondering about the Holocaust, the Genocide Convention — which defined the crime of genocide — was not adopted until 1948, hence the trials at Nuremberg and Tokyo did not officially cover genocide as such.)
I know from the extensive research I've done this year that proving genocide is incredibly complicated; despite the many resources of the ICTY, the tribunal has only convicted a handful of those whom it has charged with genocide in Bosnia. It is a massive judicial undertaking in any circumstance and is even more challenging and risky in the context of the current state of politics and power in Guatemala and in the Guatemalan judicial system. A genocide trial requires enormous amounts of evidence and also significant attention to the security of those involved in the trial, including witnesses. We know that there are NGOs like the International Peace Brigades working in Guatemala to help protect some people, and we heard from a representative at the U.S. Embassy that the U.S. is helping to coordinate additional protection. What we don't know is what will happen to these protected people when the trial finishes — the threat certainly will not disappear, but the will and resources to protect them indefinitely may well do exactly that.
I'll close with a reflection on our meeting with eight survivors. These brave men and women shared their perspectives and experiences with us, and anything less than a complete transcript of the two-hour meeting cannot do justice to the power of their words. Nonetheless, here are some quotes that struck me. One man spoke about how "the Bible says that we are made in the image of God ... so killing another human being, let alone an entire group, is an incredible crime." Another said, "What Ríos Montt did to us gives me pain every day," but all agreed that "We aren't seeking vengeance. We want this process to help the entire country move forward, so that people understand what happened to us and nothing like this ever happens again." Finally, one survivor described them not as "sobrevivientes" (the word for "survivors") but as "supervivientes," kind of a super-survivor. To survive, in a purely physical sense, as they have is already impressive given the circumstances, but to have the courage to speak in court and advocate elsewhere for the justice they deserve requires a level of courage rarely witnessed.
None of us, Americans or Guatemalans, really have any idea how this trial will ultimately end or how it will impact the country. Many of us do agree on one thing, despite the vastly different circumstances in which we've grown up and live today: Justice must be done. I lack the words to express exactly how much I respect and admire the many amazing people I met this week who are risking so much for this important cause. The discomfort I now feel, several hours into being back home, is a testament to the deep connections I've formed with people this week and to the impact of this experience on me, as a future lawyer and as a human being. I hope that one day soon I will be able to leverage my privileges and gather my courage to help in this and other crucial fights for justice.

Volunteers work to build food supply for summer drive
100 Marquette students gather to package items
Volunteers are spending the weekend trying to build a food supply for the summer months.
About 100 Marquette students gathered at the Hunger Task Force building Saturday to package items that will be sent to post offices across the state.
Mail carriers will distribute the bags to homes in early May and ask for nonperishable food donations.
"It comes at a very important time of year because it really stocks up our food bank for the summer months," Hunger Task Force representative Jonathan Hansen said. "It's really important to have that safety net in Milwaukee during the summer months."
Each of the boxes filled with bags will be sent to different mail routes. The post office will distribute 1.9 million bags to people across the state.
It was the first service project for Marquette graduate student Gavin Guo, who is a student from China.
"I would love to do this continually in the future," Guo said.
Marquette sophomore Rachel Landgraf said she looks forward to seeing the bags come back and hopes they're filled with donations.
"Seeing all the production that goes into it to help the community is really awesome, and I'm glad to be a part of it," Landgraf said.
The effort was spearheaded by Marquette freshman Marina Murphy.
"I love helping people. I like people to know there's someone out there for them," Murphy said.
Mail carriers will collect the bags on May 11.

Tony McTony is a celebrity in the Grand Theft Auto series, who appears in GTA IV and a trailer of The Ballad of Gay Tony.
He is a 29-year-old multi-millionaire (boasting $750,000,000 in stock options) who made his fortune in the computing industry and owns several social networking and video sharing websites. Other sources say no one actually knows how he became rich, though this is likely an exaggeration.
Tony McTony, which is assumed by all sources to be his real name, was born in 1979 and grew up on the streets of Bohan, Liberty City. He was a victim of bullying during his childhood, due to him being a geek. He was a virgin before he became famous, but now can "get laid 24 hours a day". He is only 5'3" tall, and very insecure about his height.
Events of GTA IV
Six months before Grand Theft Auto IV is set, he suddenly became very wealthy. Currently, he lives in one of three (or more) luxury homes - a Leftwood mansion with a helipad, a luxury mansion in Vinewood, Los Santos with a parked Shamal (a private jet) outside, and the glass penthouse of Harborside Plaza 10 in Alderney City, fitted with a glass elevator which has a glass jacuzzi inside as seen on the in-game reality TV show I'm Rich on CNT. He hires strippers to meditate inside his home, "to remind people just how rich he really is!". He likes to get back at those who bullied him by purchasing the companies they work at, and firing them. Also, doing the same thing to everyone who worked at an amusement park when he wasn't tall enough to ride on a rollercoaster. He owns fifteen nearly-identical Infernus sports cars all monogrammed with the logo that he spent $15,000,000 developing only for his personal use. It reads "TMT" (possibly inspired by Tony Montana's logo in Scarface, and jokingly reminiscent of the McDonalds logo) and the reason he fits everything from gold rims to buildings and even his own condoms with his logo is because he believes "bitches love initials". He is also sometimes pictured with an entire fleet of Patriots, a red Cavalcade, a powerboat on the water, or a helicopter. In 2008, he was discussed on a mock television show Fizz!, in which he was shown outside Bahama Mamas stepping out of a Super Diamond followed by an entire parade of scantily-clad dancing women. Fizz! showed the subtitle "Parties in Platform Shoes", a reference to McTony's short stature.
He is said to rule his internet businesses with an iron fist - referring to the claim in a Weazel News interview, he says he keeps an actual iron fist under his pillow to "surprise chicks when they're lulled into a false sense of security". He fancies himself an entrepreneur, having recently revealed a new line of adult diapers and always travelling with a crew of "spokeswhores". In one particular outing, he attacked a waitress with his glass at a restaurant whilst on a tour with his spokeswhores for botching his salad order. He is mentioned in the media about planning to sue LC24 magazine because they had referred to him as Napoleonic. He is lambasted by his Vinewood friends for giving his seventh son "too normal a name", Pete.
Events of GTA V
In GTA V while not seen in person, he does have a Bleeter profile and bleets about his anger regarding rumours that he has had leg implants to make himself taller.
Tony McTony is mostly a spoof of Lil' Wayne, as he is based of Lil' Wayne's height and voice. He also is partially a parody of young internet moguls, primarily Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook or the YouTube creators (Chad Hurley and Steve Chen), but made more in the likeness of rap stars like Sean "Diddy" Combs, Kanye West, Jermaine Dupri and Pharrell Williams. McTony's antics are inspired by certain famous incidents:
- Zuckerburg handed out business cards that read "I'm CEO... Bitch" during the first year or so of Facebook's success in 2005. This likely inspired McTony's logo and "Bitches love initials" comment.
- Chad Hurley and Steve Chen are normally more modest, but once flaunted their success with a video on their own site after being bought by Google founders (fellow young billionaires and other possible influences).
- Diddy famously ordered contestants on his show "Making The Band 2" to walk across Manhattan to bring him cheesecake (which may have inspired McTony's "salad" incident).
- Kanye West is well known to be very easily offended, and has often interrupted and/or thrown tantrums at music awards shows (mirrored by McTony's intention to sue LC24 magazine).
- His "nerd" background contradicts the supposed ideal rapper, but is influenced by Pharrell (who went to summer band camp as a child and would later dub one of his musical projects "N.E.R.D."), Lupe Fiasco and Kanye again (all three collaborated on a project called Child Rebel Soldier) and Kid Cudi, who is signed to Kanye's label.
- Though Chris Brown and his assault on girlfriend Rihanna would point to McTony's "history of domestic violence", the incident broke out a whole ten months after GTA IV's release.
LCPD Database record
- His mansion as seen on I'm Rich can be found near Madd Dogg's Crib in Los Santos.
- Although McTony became wealthy by starting up several websites, it is also revealed that he has his own line of adult diapers, another possible source of his income.
- McTony is presumably one of the world's wealthiest bachelors. One female caller on PLR's show The Seance names him as her ideal suitor because of his fortune.
- Although the show I'm Rich says his penthouse is in Algonquin, it is actually in Alderney.
- McTony is one of the featured celebrities on the Vinewood Walk of Fame in GTA V.
- In the ElitasTravel.com website in GTA V, it is mentioned that Tony owns a Luxor.

This article describes a successful teacher-professor collaboration to plan interdisciplinary curriculum and team-teach it in a first-grade classroom. The goal was to use literature and drama to help children learn about and find meaning in African American experiences and perspectives. Writing, staging, and performing three plays about African American history had a profound effect on the students. Dramatic engagement greatly enhanced their understanding of the stories, adding depth and dimension to the plot, setting, and characters that simple reading of the printed words could not accomplish. Producing the plays allowed students not only to improve their basic skills but also to experience the excitement and joy that literacy can bring to life. The stories that students read and acted out stimulated their questions and desire to share their knowledge with one another. They became intensely involved in the stories, disturbed by the history they were learning, and committed to learning more about and reducing prejudice in their world. The article includes recommendations for teachers interested in integrating literature, drama, and history.

NQ Administrator brauchte ein neues Logo Design und hat einen Wettbewerb auf 99designs gestartet.
Aus 620 Designs von 107 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
NewQuest Capital Partners
We are a team of experienced investment professionals leaving a large financial services institution to create our own firm with backing from new investors. Specifically we operate in the pan-Asian private equity market (which includes India, Greater China, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Southeast Asia, and Australia).
Our industry is pretty conservative and non-risky. Our logo will be seen by US and European insitutional investors (i.e., people who give us money) and investee companies in places like China and India (i.e., people we give money to). It truly is a global audience and the design should be aware of this fact.
We are looking for a logo which we can use on business cards, stationary, promotional material, and as the banner of a website (to be created at a later time).
As mentioned above, our industry is rather conservative so we are looking for something which is not too radical, but can be new, fresh/modern, and somewhat cool. We prefer not to have anything too fancy or deemed as too classy. Since we are a start-up, it would be nice for our logo to stand out and for people to notice it.
Feel free to experiment with colors as we have no preset view on color scheme. But please keep in mind, it is for a corporate audience -- so colors like pink and purple are probably not appropriate . . .
Ideally, we would like three of versions of the logo:
1. One with just "NewQuest"
2. Another with "NewQuest Capital Partners" (although the word "NewQuest" can be bigger and/or more prominent.
3. Another which incorporates our Chinese name into the logo as well (again with the English being more prominent). The Chinese characters are included as an attachement to this brief.
Some logos of other similar global and regional firms are attached. Some are more inspiring than others. You can be the judge . . .
Please do not use any stock images or clip art in the logo.
Thanks and good luck!

The folks at How It Should Have Ended are pros at cooking up better, hilarious endings to blockbuster films, and Stan Lee has a tendency to show up in every Marvel movie. So what happens when the two team up to insert Stan Lee in non-Marvel movies? Let's just say there would be fewer Star Wars films in the world—and Gotham City would remain overrun with crime.

Colorado Symphony Ball gets dancers on their feet
It's hard to resist the urge to get up and dance at the Colorado Symphony Ball.
But everyone usually waits 'til one of the rock bands starts to play.
Not this year, though.
The symphony was first up in the Battle of the Bands REMATCH, going up against the DaVita Blues All Stars and Tracksuit Wedding, and about two seconds into Tchaikovsky's "Waltz from Eugene Onegin," BJ Dyer escorted table mate Jane Scofield onto the Fillmore Auditorium dance floor.
He wouldn't have asked — and she would not have accepted — had they not been very good on their feet. They remained the sole couple on the floor and received a round of applause for their effort.
Dyer, a member of the symphony's governing board, also is the owner/president of Bouquets, and donated the evening's peacock-themed decor.
The ball was chaired by Libby Anschutz and Ali Pashel Frankfurt, the founders of Tracksuit Wedding, and raised $1 million. Tracksuit Wedding also won the evening's musical combat.
Tracksuit members are looking forward to being an opening act for the Big Head Todd and the Monsters 30th anniversary concert at Red Rocks. The June 11 event also features Dwight Yoakam.
Gov. John Hickenlooper, Denver Mayor Michael Hancock and first lady Mary Louise Lee were honorary chairs for the symphony ball. Special guests were Liberty Global CEO Mike Fries and his wife, Michelle, recipients of the Margaret Phipps Award, and members of the military.
Following a social hour with cocktails and silent auction bidding, guests sat down to a dinner, catered by Epicurean, that began with gazpacho shooters and asparagus/citrus salad and ended with a chocolate dome cake.
Among those taking part in the festive evening were Tony and Nancy Accetta; Carol Kaye with Ashley Rowe from wine sponsor Constellation Brands; Keith and Kathie Finger; Susan Ellis and Izzy Abbass; Everette Freeman, president of the Community College of Denver; Sandy and Evan Lasky; Dianne Eddolls; Barry and Arlene Hirschfeld; Eric Sondermann and Tracy Dunning; Rob and Kathy Klugman; Sally Egan; Kathy Coors; Phil and Corry Doty; Laura Cisco, director of philanthropy for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Colorado, and Brendan Fisher; and the co-chairs of the symphony board, Jerry Kern and Mary Rossick Kern.

Speculation is rife that when Apple announces its fiscal second quarter results today at 5 pm EDT, its revenue, profits, gross margin, and earnings per share or some combination of them will be less than expected, or less than they should be, or both.
Unless Apple surprises the industry watchers, the results will likely set off a litany of familiar criticisms - Apple is failing to innovate, being too secretive, not being concerned enough with quality, arrogant, losing out to more innovative competitors. And it could trigger a further drop in Apple's stock price, which reached a peak of $705.07 in the past 12 months but closed yesterday at $398.67.
But the short-term focus on unit sales, revenue, profits and margins can lose sight of much else: the larger context of Apple's (and other tech companies) historic ups and downs, Apple's strengths in designing, maintaining, and ultimately replacing popular brands, and its unique corporate character and structure focused on creating better products.
Network World's hands-on testing - "Tablet Wars: Microsoft Surface RT v. Apple iPad"
Some analysts currently are forecasting that Apple will sell 35 million to 38 million of its high-margin iPhones in the January-March quarter, about the same or 1% to 8% above the same quarter one year ago.
Apple's guidance for the January-March second fiscal quarter is for revenues of between $41 billion and $43 billion, slightly above the $39.2 billion in the year ago quarter, and well below the $54.5 billion of fiscal 2013 Q1. For almost the first time, the consensus by both independent and professional stock analysts is very close to Apple's guidance. The trend is clear in these two charts, comparing revenue and earnings forecasts with actual results over the last 12 quarters, pulled together by Philip Elmer-Dewitt, editor of Fortune's Apple 2.0 blog.
As DeWitt notes, Apple's guidance has been much closer to actual revenues than the far more optimistic expectations by both professional stock analysts and independent Apple watchers and bloggers.
"The forecasts from the 61 analysts we polled -- 38 professionals and 23 amateurs -- are as tightly packed as we've ever seen them," DeWitt writes. "The consensus among the pros is that Apple will report sales of $42.41 billion; the indies are at $42.9 billion. The median estimate is $42.7 billion, up 9% from last year's $39.2 billion." [See DeWitt's full blogpost.]
Apple for the first time declined to offer guidance on earnings per share. The professionals in DeWitt's survey together yield an average earnings estimate of $10.01 per share, or 19% below last year's $12.30. The independents' average estimate is $10.55, or a 14% drop year over year. The median EPS estimate is $10.10, a drop of 18%.
One analyst, Ben Reitzes with Barclays Bank's investment banking division, is already looking to the next quarter, and not seeing much of an improvement. "[W]e expect Apple to provide guidance below consensus for the June quarter with regard to revenue and gross margins," he writes in recent report. Reitzes reiterated Barclay's view that Apple needs to be, and will be, more open with investors about a range of issues, including its gross margin targets (since a small change in gross margin has an outsized impact on earnings per share), returning more cash to investors, and product plans.
"One of Apple's biggest challenges in 2013 will be that it has chosen not to participate in the market for 5-inch smartphones - and there is tangible evidence that this category is for real," Reitzes insists. "Apple has stood firm that its iPhone is ideal for one-handed use, which is true in our opinion. However, one handed use is arguably less important as phone calls become less and less crucial - the larger form factor has caught on for navigation, texting, videos, books and web access. Also, the larger screen seems to be more popular outside of the US and the phablet has significant momentum in China."
A number of Apple's suppliers, including Cirrus Logic and Foxconn, have reported lower than expected revenues or profits or both in recent weeks. In many cases, these results are being interpreted as representing a fall-off in orders from Apple. And that fall-off is then interpreted as evidence of slowing or even falling iPhone and iPad sales.
"Hon Hai Precision Industry, better known as Foxconn, reported an almost 20% drop in earnings in the past quarter," posted John Koetsier, at VentureBeat. Foxconn is Apple's main assembler for phones and tablets. "The problem, apparently, is lower than expected iPhone sales."
Koetsier linked to a Reuters story on Hon Hai's results, but the story itself, while it asserts that Hon Hai's results were "hurt by disappointing demand for the iPhone," only quotes a Wall Street analyst to that effect, not any Hon Hai executive.
In February, a report by NPD's DisplaySearch unit on LCD screen shipments found a sharp one-month decrease in the January OEM shipments of 9.7-inch display units and concluded that these shipments had "collapsed." The report sparked widespread speculation in the blogosphere that the retail market for full-size iPads had likewise collapsed, [See "iPocalypse now?: iPad sales "collapse" and the Web freaks"] in part due to the unexpectedly strong sales of the smaller iPad mini. Apple so far has not released separate sales figures for the two tablets.
Halfway through Apple's 2013 fiscal year, speculation is intense about when Apple will announce and release the next iPhone and iPad models. There are almost as many opinions as there are analysts.
Several of them, interviewed for a Computerworld story, predict a late June or early July debut for the next iPhone, usually dubbed "iPhone 5S." The current iPhone 5 was announced in September 2012 and the previous iPhone 4S in September 2011.
But as Computerworld's Greg Keizer noted, Apple has yet to release the review of its software development kit for its next operating system version, iOS 7. The preview SDK typically gives app developers about three to four months to work with the new OS version, reading new apps and tweaking existing ones before the new iPhone is released.
In a recent online discussion among a group of experienced Apple watchers, John Gruber of Daring Fireball and Rene Ritchie, editor-in-chief of iMore, several participants said they had heard from sources that iOS 7 was "behind schedule," and that Apple software engineers had been shifted from the Mac operating system, OS X, to work on the mobile platform.
Given this very typical Apple response - being able to shift resources quickly to apply them where needed (more on this below) - a project can be "behind schedule" without ultimately being late. It's analogous to a driving to a destination, to arrive at a given time: if you're forced to drive slower than planned on one stretch, you can drive faster on another to make up the difference, or skip a stop for lunch.
Interest in iOS 7 is keen for several reasons. Competition from Android-based smartphone makers is intensifying and their visual user interfaces are becoming more sophisticated and user-oriented. Last fall, long-time iOS development chief Scott Forstall was edged out in the wake of the badly-received initial release of Apple Maps. The core OS was handed to OS X development honcho Craig Federighi, while long-time industrial design guru Jonathan Ive took over the platform's user interface and user experience design. Finally, iOS is essential to and intimately wedded with Apple's expanding cloud services for mobile products and users.
The wild speculation that Apple is beleaguered, floundering, on the verge of defeat, is a result of a lack of historical awareness and of misunderstanding Apple's essential character, argues Horace Dediu, an independent analyst and founder of market analysis firm Asymco, in a recent interview for Korea's Chosun Daily.
Asked about the current "Apple shock," Dediu explains that "during Steve Jobs' time the company suffered many such shocks."
"The stock fell many times far further than it just did for trivial and irrational reasons....Share prices are not always good indicators of potential and markets are not always efficient."
Many observers, including Wall Street analysts, writing about Apple today are new to covering the company, he says. "I would guess 80% of the observers have not observed Apple's prior painful episodes first hand," Dediu says. "For them this is the first time a "dominant" Apple has slowed. The amplification of so many voices raising alarm makes it seem truer, but it isn't.
Moreover, he argues, "the [Apple] failures being cited are not significant."
"In terms of increased competition, before Samsung there was Nokia and Motorola and the mobile operators and Microsoft and Dell and many others long forgotten," Dediu says. "They were all about to "defeat" Apple."
Finally, the alarmists miss something fundamental about Apple. "You have to appreciate that the greatest thing [Steve] Jobs ever created was not a product but Apple itself," Dediu says. He expands on this idea in a related post.
"Unlike almost every other large company it's not organized in "divisions" which have responsibility for "a business" in the sense of profit or loss," he explains. "At Apple most people or teams are assigned a function like "design", "engineering", "sales" etc. When a product is being built, they are assigned to that effort. When the product is complete, they go to another product. The nearest comparison to this structure is a military organization. There you have Infantry, Armor, Aviation, etc. These groups are assigned (in a combined fashion) to a particular effort or battle and then go back to the barracks when done."
In the Chosun Daily interview, Dediu argues that "Innovation is not invention."
"Innovation is the application of invention in ways that solve new needs. I'm always amazed at how misunderstood this term is even though the definition is easy to understand:
'innovation differs from invention in that innovation refers to the use of a better and, as a result, novel idea or method, whereas invention refers more directly to the creation of the idea or method itself.'
"Not all inventions are applied and not all innovations depend on internal inventions. Innovation is applied invention just like engineering is applied science," Dediu says. He compares Apple to animation movie maker Pixar, which is set up so that "it makes blockbusters and nothing else."
"That means it does not make many of them and not always regularly and that the ideas may not be original, but the results are always very popular," he says. "Pixar is not like any other studio that makes some hits and some flops. Pixar is also a functional organization. It's not an accident that they were both built by the same person and that they are both successful after he left."

text: AnyEvent::Handle::UDP(User Contributed Perl DocumentAnyEvent::Handle::UDP(3pm) NAME AnyEvent::Handle::UDP - client/server UDP handles for AnyEvent VERSION version 0.049 SYNOPSIS my $echo_server = AnyEvent::Handle::UDP->new( bind => ['0.0.0.0', 4000], on_recv => sub { my ($data, $ae_handle, $client_addr) = @_; $ae_handle->push_send($data, $client_addr); }, ); DESCRIPTION This module is an abstraction around UDP sockets for use with AnyEvent. ATTRIBUTES on_recv The callback for when a package arrives. It takes three arguments: the datagram, the handle and the address the datagram was received from. on_error The callback for when an error occurs. It takes three arguments: the handle, a boolean indicating the error is fatal or not, and the error message. on_drain This sets the callback that is called when the send buffer becomes empty. The callback takes the handle as its only argument. autoflush Always attempt to send data to the operating system immediately, without waiting for the loop to indicate the filehandle is write-ready. receive_size The buffer size for the receiving in bytes. It defaults to 1500, which is slightly more than the MTA on ethernet. family Sets the socket family. The default is 0, which means either IPv4 or IPv6. The values 4 and 6 mean IPv4 and IPv6 respectively. fh The underlying filehandle. Note that this doesn't cooperate with the "connect" and "bind" parameters. reuse_addr If true will enable quick reuse of the bound address timeout rtimeout wtimeout If non-zero, then these enables an "inactivity" timeout: whenever this many seconds pass without a successful read or write on the underlying file handle (or a call to "timeout_reset"), the on_timeout callback will be invoked (and if that one is missing, a non-fatal ETIMEDOUT error will be raised). There are three variants of the timeouts that work independently of each other, for both read and write (triggered when nothing was read OR written), just read (triggered when nothing was read), and just write: timeout, rtimeout and wtimeout, with corresponding callbacks on_timeout, on_rtimeout and on_wtimeout, and reset functions timeout_reset, rtimeout_reset, and wtimeout_reset. Note that timeout processing is active even when you do not have any outstanding read or write requests: If you plan to keep the connection idle then you should disable the timeout temporarily or ignore the timeout in the corresponding on_timeout callback, in which case AnyEvent::Handle will simply restart the timeout. Calling "clear_timeout" (or setting it to zero, which does the same) disables the corresponding timeout. on_timeout on_rtimeout on_wtimeout The callback that's called whenever the inactivity timeout passes. If you return from this callback, then the timeout will be reset as if some activity had happened, so this condition is not fatal in any way. METHODS new Create a new UDP handle. As arguments it accepts any attribute, as well as these two: · connect Set the address to which datagrams are sent by default, and the only address from which datagrams are received. It must be either a packed sockaddr struct or an arrayref containing a hostname and a portnumber. · bind The address to bind the socket to. It must be either a packed sockaddr struct or an arrayref containing a hostname and a portnumber. All except "on_recv" are optional, though using either "connect" or "bind" (or both) is strongly recommended unless you give it a connected/bound "fh". bind_to($address) Bind to the specified addres. Note that a bound socket may be rebound to another address. $address must be in the same form as the bind argument to new. connect_to($address) Connect to the specified address. Note that a connected socket may be reconnected to another address. $address must be in the same form as the connect argument to new. push_send($message, $to = undef, $cv = AnyEvent::CondVar->new) Try to send a message. If a socket is not connected a receptient address must also be given. If it is connected giving a receptient may not work as expected, depending on your platform. It returns $cv, which will become true when $message is sent. timeout_reset rtimeout_reset wtimeout_reset Reset the activity timeout, as if data was received or sent. sockname Get the local address, per "getsockname". peername Get the peer's address, per "getpeername". destroy Destroy the handle. BACKWARDS COMPATIBILITY This module is not backwards compatible in any way with the defunct previous module of the same name by Jan Henning Thorsen.

Activists: Syria conflict death toll hits 150,344
The death toll in Syria's three-year conflict has exceeded 150,000, an activist group said Tuesday as fighting raged across the country, including an attack in the north that killed at least 31 people including 9 children.world Updated: Apr 02, 2014 12:26 IST
The death toll in Syria's three-year conflict has exceeded 150,000, an activist group said Tuesday as fighting raged across the country, including an attack in the north that killed at least 31 people including 9 children.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said that it has documented 150,344 deaths in the conflict that started in March 2011. The figure includes civilians, rebels, and members of the Syrian military. It also includes militiamen, fighting alongside President Bashar Assad's forces and foreign fighters battling for Assad's ouster on the rebels' side.
The Observatory bases its tally on the information the group receives from a network of informants on the ground inside Syria.
In January, the U.N. said it had stopped updating its own tally of the Syrian dead because it can no longer verify the sources of information that led to its last count of at least 100,000 in late July.
Of the 150,344 people who died in the conflict, about a third, 51,212, were civilians, including 7,985 children and 5,266 women, The Observatory said. The number also includes 26,561 rebel fighters and 35,601 Syrian soldiers as well as 22,879 Assad-loyal fighters and 11,220 foreign fighters battling on the opposition side. The number also includes unidentified casualties totaling 2,871.
Tuesday's attack in the northern town of Maaret al-Artiq came in the form of a barrel bombing - bombardment with containers stuffed with explosives rolled out of military helicopters, the Observatory said.
In Turkey, the Syrian's main opposition bloc said its President, Ahmad al-Jarba, made a rare visit to Syria on Tuesday, meeting with rebels fighting Assad's troops in the coastal province of Latakia - including the recently captured Christian-Armenian town of Kassab.
Assad's family hails from Latakia, the scene of a fierce 11-day battle in which rebel groups including the al-Qaida-linked Nusra Front have made significant gains. So far, they've captured a border crossing with Turkey and a tiny slice of the coast that gives them access to the Mediterranean Sea.
In addition to Kassab, al-Jarba also toured Latakia's rebel-held mountainous areas of Jabal al-Turkomen and Jabal al-Akrad, meeting with rebel commanders to assess the "latest plans and needs for the battle on the coast," the Western-backed Syrian National Coalition said in a statement.
Syria's uprising began with largely peace protests against Assad's rule. It has since then evolved into a civil war with sectarian overtones, pitting predominantly Sunni Muslim rebels against Assad's government that is dominated by Alawites, a sect in Shiite Islam. On the opposition side, Islamic extremists, including foreign fighters and Syrian rebels who have taken up hard-line al-Qaida-style ideologies, have played an increasingly prominent role among fighters, dampening the West's support for the rebellion to overthrow Assad.
That has led to a backlash by Islamic brigades and more moderate rebels who launched a war against the al-Qaida breakaway group, the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. Infighting has raged in the north for months and more than, 3,000 fighters have been killed in the rebel-on-rebel violence since the beginning of the year, according to activists. These deaths were not included in Observatory's tally.
On Tuesday, The Observatory said fighting between Assad's loyalist and the rebels was concentrated in several opposition-held suburbs of the capital, Damascus, and the northern province of Aleppo, where rebels have managed to hold on to large swaths of territory and whole districts of the city of Aleppo, Syria's largest urban center and its commercial hub. The rebels captured them from government forces in a 2012 offensive.
The group also reported heavy clashes in the southern province of Daraa that is the birthplace of Syria's uprising.
Syria's official SANA news agency said terrorists, a term state media uses for rebels, have fired mortars into a government-held district of Aleppo, killing five people and wounding 26 others. In Damascus, one person died and two were injured in separate mortar attacks on the capital's districts of Zablatani and Abassyeen, SANA said.

In separate pieces we have sketched three views that are outside the consensus. We thought it would be helpful to pull them together in one note.
1. Resilience of the US economy: Many fear that the end of the payrolls savings tax holiday and the sequester will undermine the US economy and possibly back into a recession, after a pitiful 0.1% expansion in Q4 12 before the spending cuts and tax increases were implemented.
We demur. The recent ISM suggests an under-appreciated resilience of the world's largest economy. Auto sales have remained strong and steel output is at its highest level since last September. The wealth effect of rising stocks and home prices is not being lost on US consumer confidence.
What we are suggesting is not unprecedented. Just like the tax hikes in Reagan's second term and tax hikes in Clinton's first term were "supposed" to derail the economy, it did not then either. The underlying strength of the US economy is illustrated by two numbers. First, in 2012 US exports exceeded China's, according to the respective government's data. Second, the US oil production exceeded Saudi Arabia last November, the most recent comparative data.
2. Skepticism about the prospects of Abenomics: We argue that the yen's weakness was not only a function of the change in regimes in Japan, but actions of the ECB last summer to ensure the survival of the EMU project reduced the need for safe havens in general and this was clearly a force much larger than the yen, but impacted other safe havens and risk asset more broadly. Of course, signals of aggressive fiscal and monetary stimulus further encouraged the yen's weakness.
However, barring a remaining window to shock and awe at the April BOJ meeting, we think the major parts of Abenomics is in place and that the government turns its attention to its political agenda ahead of the summer upper house elections.
Our concern is two-fold. First, that as the LDP seemed to have demonstrated previously, monetary and fiscal stimulus in the absence of structural reforms is not effective under present conditions in Japan. Second, while foreign interest in Japanese equities remains keen, and many international fund managers remain underweight Japanese shares, Japanese investors are keeping more of the investment at home. It seems as if the realization that their yen can buy few foreign assets has caused a bit of a sticker shock and have been selling foreign assets. The inability to recycle the current account and portfolio capital inflows may exert upward pressure on the yen.
3. Currency Wars: Although the media continues to press this line and many commentators refor the recent G7 and G20 meetings agree with our assessment that current behavior--the pursuit of monetary and fiscal policies for domestic objectives is not tantamount of war. Japanese officials have moved back within compliance by not citing specific bilateral exchange targets.
In addition, over the past couple of weeks, Japanese officials have placed down the need to buy foreign bonds (which is too close to fx intervention), and showed less urgency to change the BOJ's charter, Abe appears to have picked the official to head up the BOJ that has the highest international gravitas, and Japan seemed to be more likely to join the trans-Pacific free-trade agreement. The existence of circuit breakers and conflict resolution mechanisms, like the World Trade Organization reduce the chances of currency tension spilling into trade.
One of the dangers of exaggerating currency wars is that it distracts our attention from the real systemic fissures. Unlike the 1920s and 1930s, the critical fissure is not between countries (as was the case in the aftermath of the end of WWI--see The Economic Consequences of Peace by Keynes), but within countries. Rather than confront the political and economic elites in other countries to soften the blow at the end of the credit cycle, the domestic elites have turned on their own people.
Capital accumulation and profits are largely being preserved at the cost of further erosion of the social contract and the increased concentration of income and wealth domestically. This assessment suggests the international order may be more robust than many have argued. This in turn underscores our belief that the role of the dollar in the international economy as a reserve asset, a store of value and a means of exchange has not and will not be significantly altered by the financial crisis.

Keep up to date with forthcoming shows, special events and the latest Fayble news.
My drawings and sculptures are small depictions of my world which runs alongside and in and out of my everyday existence(or maybe its the other way around!) I was fortunate to have a very open minded upbringing, and my life was constantly enriched with new concepts ideas and great books. I would often sit on my own for hours in the garden and travel far into a land where any thing was possible and where I thought i had only been a few minutes. A lot of what I learnt there I use in my everyday adult life. To be in touch with the faerie realm in adulthood is a gift. Art along side music is the best way to travel through faerie. It is as delicate as inspiration itself and has to be cared for by using it everyday. It is intense but soo life enhancing to see and feel soo much all of the time.
As with inspiration once you know where to find it ..it is everywhere! My work is an expression of my world of which I feel is neither completely in everyday reality nor completely in faerie… I have attempted to express through texture colour personality emotion and character. With all my sculptures I feel new emotions as if they have grown from within me. I hope that the creatures who have been expressed from my world bring something new to everyone…but strangely you may feel as if you have already met!

1/3 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup dark brown sugar
2 carrots, halved

1 teaspoon five spice powder
1 teaspoon sesame oil
I bunch green onion, chopped
Place the brisket, onion, stock, soy sauce, sugar, carrots, garlic cloves and ginger into a large pot with a tight fitting lid. The brisket should be totally submerged. If not, add water until the brisket is covered. Cook over medium-low heat for about 3 hours or until the brisket is easily flaked with a fork and very tender. Remove the brisket, onion and garlic. Slice the meat. Mash the garlic. Toss the garlic with the meat and onion. Stir in 5 spice powder, sesame oil; adding a bit of the braising liquid as needed to moisture. Divide among slider rolls and top with green onion.

I am looking for direction on what topic I should be reading up on. I am new to C++ and Windows MFC.
This is my real world problem, in the context of the application user. (these term do not refer to OPP concepts)
I want to create shapes (containers) in an application that will respond and collect other objects;
Imagine a Windows frame, containing several 2 dimensional squares. I want to be able to drag and drop marbles into the squares,
and have the square retain and display the marbles in the square, in the order that they were dropped in.
How do I create the shapes, and how will the square sense when a marble is over it?
How would I create irregular shapes (a combination of lines and curves) that would be responsive to the marbles?

Will Sen. Vitter's Alleged Airport Rage Hurt Him in 2010?
Sen. David Vitter's (R-La.) 2010 reelection mission to rehabilitate his image in the wake of the D.C. madam scandal two years ago has hit a snag. The Louisiana Republican is now embroiled in a different kind of classic Washington brouhaha, this one involving a federal investigation of his alleged airport rage.
The Transportation Security Administration announced yesterday that it is reviewing a report that an angry Vitter set off an alarm at Washington's Dulles International Airport last week when he opened a security door to a jet bridge in his haste to make a United Airlines flight.
The TSA wouldn't comment beyond its statement that it is "reviewing the alleged incident." But airport security regulations stipulate that it is a Class 1 misdemeanor for an unauthorized person to enter a restricted area.
Airport police officers were called March 5 to deal with an "irate passenger" in the United terminal, but by the time officers arrived, the passenger was gone, according to Courtney Mickalonis, a spokeswoman for the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority. Therefore, there is no police report of the incident, she said.
Read the rest of this story, which appears in Friday's print edition of the Post, here and find out how Vitter and GOP political operatives are spinning the incident.

He gets worse with every misstep -- what an egomaniac! Congress needs to be weeded out, frankly, and he should be one of the first to GO. We need statesmen, not clowns.

When I was saying my prayers last night, God assured me Sen. Vitter was forgiven, just as he was after soliciting prositutes. We all know the airport episode will be swept under the rug. The GOP has not disowned him and, more importantly, I am not aware of any negative comments frm Rush Limbaugh or Fox News, so Vitter is still okay in my book.

Vitter shoulda known better. Arrogance of power in my book. Even with a porn star thinking about running for his Senate seat, she would prove a better, even honest, candidate. After all, Vitter, the family man, couldn't claim that he didn't screw anybody for money..........

Some elected officals believe they are exempt from the rules when elected. All of sudden they are better then the people that elected them. I think its time to humble these arogant individuals. Maybe term limits would help!

What else should we expect? We've allowed our politicians to legislate and regulate special privileges unto themselves so they now perceive themselves as royalty. It's way past time we put a leash on these arrogant bozos and drag them back down out of the stratosphere.
Let's start by putting them on the social security system along with all the rest of us. Commensurate with that should be the elimination of their outrageous 'retirement' system. We need term limitations, not a cozy career at public expense.
Then, let's put constraints on them to make sure the 'junkets' they are so famous for are not allowed unless approved in some fashion.

Federal, state and local authorities are investigating if the shootings of five Black people in Tulsa, Oklahoma are a hate crime after the weekend arrests of two white suspects, report CNN. Three people were killed and two were injured in the Friday shooting rampage.
Jake England, 19, and Alvin Watts, 32, are scheduled to be arraigned Monday morning. Tulsa police arrested them early Sunday after a series of tips that led investigators to England's burned pickup, a vehicle that matched a description reported at the crime scenes, according to their arrest reports. Both suspects are charged with three counts of murder and two counts of shooting with intent to kill, police said. ...
Jim Finch, the head of the FBI's Oklahoma office, said Sunday that it was "premature" to talk about hate crimes. "We have yet to analyze all the information to understand the motivations of these subjects in this case," Finch said.
England had written a racial slur on his Facebook page in a post marking the anniversary of his father's 2010 killing. But the entry also noted his girlfriend's recent suicide, and a man at England's home told CNN, "You don't know what this family's been through."
More details from The Oklahoman:
In a Thursday update on Facebook that appeared to have been written by 19-year-old Jake England, he angrily blamed his father's death on a black man and used a racial slur. He said Thursday was the second anniversary of his father's death. "It's hard not to go off," given the anniversary and the death of his fiancie earlier this year, the posting said. ... The Facebook page had been taken down by Sunday afternoon.
Police are reluctant to describe the shootings as racially motivated. City Councilman Jack Henderson, however, has no qualms doing so. "Being an NAACP president for seven years, I think that somebody that committed these crimes were very upset with black people," Henderson said. "That person happened to be a white person, the people they happened to kill and shoot are black people. That fits the bill for me."
The Tulsa shooting spree comes at the same time many Black Americans are outraged over the killing of Trayvon Martin, the unarmed 17-year-old who was gunned down by a self-appointed neighborhood watch captain outside Orlando.
Tulsa was once home to the wealthiest Black community in the United State. It was also the location of one of worst acts of racial violence in American history: The Tulsa Race Riot of 1921 which killed up to 300 Blacks residents. The assault against Tulsa's Black community included aerial firebombing and aerial machine gun sorties.

Kristiegirl10 brauchte ein neues Logo Design und hat einen Wettbewerb auf 99designs gestartet.
Aus 218 Designs von 35 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
Kuras Dental Health Associates
We are a group dental office in a small town in Michigan with four dentists and six hygienists. Our personality is professional, modern, upscale, relaxed, and believe it or not FUN! We offer general family dentistry and cosmetic dentistry. One of the doctors has had extensive training and many years experience in cosmetic veneers resulting in BEAUTIFUL smile makeovers. We want to portray a "boutique" cosmetic practice without intimidating the average patient, since we cater to EVERYONE...we have everything from high end cosmetic veneers to basic silver fillings.
The practice is very established in the community (60 years) with MANY long time patients so we would like to target NEW PATIENTS. Hopefully with a new logo and branding that the community will look at with a fresh eye and decide to come check us out.
Don't usually like anything with an apple or tooth in the logo...well maybe a tooth if it's really cool. Neutral colors with sage green accents (not stuck on green but warm colors feel more relaxing to me). Possibly a separate shape or design next to our name, maybe a fancy K with the rest of the name in different font (maybe too cliche'???) As you can tell we're not really sure, that's why we chose this site so we'd have many designers to chose from.
Below are 2 example of logos that we liked. Feel free to use the name or some of the letters or just be creative.
We plan on using this logo on our business cards, signs, website, etc. We want to create a "Brand" that stands out for our office for the years to come.
Finden Sie heraus, wie ein Designwettbewerb funktioniert, oder lernen Sie mehr über unsere Logo-Design-Angebote.
