JKLittle necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 294 diseños de 83 diseñadores freelance.
I need a logo/design that is eye catching, but not annoying. It must be very professional and modern or up to date. My company name is well known within the area I work, but I have never had a logo/design. Seeing as the design I pick will be the one I have to stick with from here on out, this will be a very tedious task for me. This design will be used for business cards, vinyl decals on company vehicles, letterhead, pens, magnets, etc.
Paintworks Unlimited
I own a painting company, and have been in business for about 5 years now. My company started out very little with just me as the only employee, but now I have a well established company with many employee's. I have tons of business from all over, but believe that I can receive more with a logo for company vehicles, business cards, letterhead, etc. I am a very meticulous person, especially when it comes to the design for my company. Just to say a little about what my company does, we specialize in interior, exterior, residential, and commercial. We do jobs as small as brushing out a couple doors, to spraying 3 story condominium buildings that house up to 16 family's. We paint pools, we stain cabinets, we paint apartments, condo's, and houses from the inside out. We also specialize in rotten wood repair, and editions. I not only have painters that work for me, I've got carpenters to. I need a logo that represents my company all around.
Something catchy, professional, and up to date. Has to have my company name of course, along with phone number, and must be based around all of what my company has to offer. Definitely want some colors in it. Would like design/logo to be in Adobe Illustrator Format. A paint bucket, brush, sprayer, roller, or some kind of painting tool, along with carpentry tools.
Im open for all options, just keep it professional looking. Keep in mind this logo will be used for giant decals, cards, hats, t-shirts, and more. In light of this, the logo/design you present must be adjustable in size without losing its quality.

$1 = $4 = $8 for the FoodLess FoodDrive
Food drives generally mean big, bulky barrels of cereal and macaroni and cheese. Donors pull some canned goods out of the back of their pantry, or they pick up a few extra items on their next trip to the grocery store.
But is that really the best way to help restock a food shelf? Maybe not.
Instead of cleaning out your kitchen cupboards, give the $20 you'd spend in a week on coffee and bagels to the FoodLess FoodDrive. The Augsburg College Thrivent Fellows are sponsoring the food drive in the month of March to provide three months worth of food for the Brian Coyle Community Center food shelf.
Masha Shatanova '13, an economics and business major, is one of the Thrivent Fellows working with the FoodLess FoodDrive. She first became interested in the Brian Coyle food shelf through her work with Augsburg's interfaith scholars program. She hopes the FoodLess drive will be successful because of its impact on the community. "Usually you bring food to a food shelf and it might be something they don't really need," she said. "It's better to give them money because they can buy healthy food that people in their area want to eat."
Using commodity programs and bulk buying power, money in the food shelf's hand is worth four times as our money spent in the grocery store. Not only do cash donations allow for the purchase of more food, they also enable the staff to purchase food that is used by residents of the Cedar-Riverside neighborhood. In addition, the Thrivent Fellows will match each dollar raised with one dollar, turning a donated dollar into $8 worth of food.
Donations can be made in envelopes which were previously distributed through campus mail (checks made to the Brian Coyle Food Shelf) or by dropping off at the Sabo Center (CB 108). Call 612-330-1624 with questions.

I really wish I had been able to get a picture of the complete quilt. It was so cute! This quilt was commissioned by a client who wanted to give her daughter a snuggly blanket for her birthday. The quilt ended up being about 107 x 107. It was HUGE!
I alternated different sizes of daisies in the red and white border blocks.
Then in the center panel I did a loop with flowers.
The fabrics used in this quilt were all supplied by the client, and were flannel and minkee. I used Hobbs Heirloom 80/20 batting, and quilted it with red thread.

Louisville Architect Steve Wiser, AIA has a passion for all things local. One might confirm this simply by scrolling down a list of titles of some of the prolific author's previous books, which cover topics such as "Louisville Sites to See by DESIGN†and "Louisville Tapestry: People and Places who helped create America's Most Livable City.†So it comes as no surprise that the busy historian's latest published work – his tenth – combines that enthusiasm for the city with his professional area of expertise. In "Distinctive Houses of Louisville,†the second installment in a three-part series about notable local homes, Wiser collaborated with graduate architect and photographer Dan Madryga to offer a look inside some of the River City's most spectacular landmark residences.
"As I've told people, Louisville is always rated very highly as a place to live,†Wiser commented. "We're always in the top 10 or top 20, we have this high livability index here, in fact sometimes we're rated No. 1 in the country as a great place to live. I said, well that being the case, where are the great places to live, in Louisville? So that was sort of my natural progression.â€
Arranging the showcased homes in chronological order by year built, the book covers the gamut from classic historic manors, rich with history and the influence of previous owners, up to newly-built urban dwellings such as Waterfront Park Place, constructed in 2004 and a mainstay in the modern Louisville cityscape. Standouts include the cover home, Greystone Gables, a New Albany, Ind. residence built by William Findt Jr. for Col. E.V. and Katherine Knight in 1929. Photos of the home's interior reveal a remarkably well-preserved masterpiece of woodwork and detailing, undoubtedly a result of the first homeowner's early success in the wood veneer business. Sculptural plaster ceilings, period-appropriate furnishings and even original glass-front kitchen cabinets make Greystone Gables an awe-inspiring example of seamless interior design and unblemished historic architecture.
Louisville's (some would say notorious) Pink Palace on St. James Court is another notable subject, perhaps as much for its checkered past as its distinctive hue, castle-like gable and grand, old-fashioned interiors. Formerly a gentlemen's club, the house was first painted a lighter shade of the now-famous pink after it was purchased in the 1920s by the Women's Christian Temperance Union, as a sign of the new rule of prohibition. Previous owners include the inventor of the first hearing aid.
The Leight House, one of Wiser's favorites, is a modern style residence in Glenview, built in 1967-8 by Fred De Santo in association with Jasper Ward, and owned by original owners Adele and Dr. Leonard Leight. Sliding glass doors, a wooden exterior and angular projections make this home especially distinctive when viewed from the outside. Fans of the Bauhaus style, the Leights commissioned the home with their lifestyle and collections in mind – built-in shelving and swathes of natural light make the most of a colorful collection of artwork. "They love the house so much, they're very proud of it. It's almost like an art museum on the interior with all they've done, all their art collection within it. So its a phenomenal house,†Wiser enthused.
But if he had to pick one of these impressive constructions to call home, the author, who has become quite familiar with each during the process of researching his book, would have little trouble deciding. "I'd very much like the Akers Carriage House," he asserted. "It's owned by Chuck and Ginger Schnatter, but it's a beautiful carriage house I had discovered back in the 1980s, just by driving around Louisville I found this home. It was originally a carriage house to another major mansion, but its eclectic design style and the way it's been renovated (stand out).â€
Designed by John Bacon Hutchings and built in 1912, the former property of the nearby Speed Mansion is now considered a masterpiece of exuberance and a magnificent home in its own right. Highlights include beautiful stone and wood floors, exposed brick walls on the inside which correspond to the home's facade, and Tudor style decor to complete the overall aesthetic. Much of the former stable's elegant interior was recreated through a major renovation by former owner and Louisville architect Carlton Godsey.
But while he'd love to spend his days living in any one of the magnificent houses showcased in "Distinctive Houses of Louisville,†Steve Wiser is just as happy researching what makes each individual residence an exceptional example of Louisville architecture, and sharing that with others in his favorite city. And, unsurprisingly, he's keeping it all local, right down to his choice of publisher and distributors. "I'm very much into the local business enterprises, in fact, the book is only at Carmichael's and Conrad Caldwell House over in Old Louisville. …I'm using a local publisher as well, Four Colour (Print Group) is who I use. So everything's local on this.â€
That philosophy even extends to the funds generated by the book, added the author, who considers the project a personal endeavor, rather than a business enterprise. As a result, all proceeds will benefit the Visually Impaired Preschool Services, a Kentucky-based nonprofit providing education and early intervention services to visually impaired and blind babies and young children. "It's a great charity and I just thought these creative homes would benefit those that, unfortunately, cannot view these homes,†Wiser explained. "…Being an architect and a historian, to me this is more of a passion.â€
There will be a book signing with Steve Wiser on Saturday, Nov. 10, from 4 to 5 p.m., at Carmichael's Bookstore, 2720 Frankfort Ave. You can purchase "Distinctive Houses of Louisville†as well as its precursor, "Modern Houses of Louisville,†at both locations of Carmichael's Bookstore. The book retails for $25 and is also on sale at Conrad Caldwell House. It can be purchased directly from the VIPS website, www.VIPS.org, with an additional $6 handling fee.

Cincinnati, OH (SportsNetwork.com) - Anthony Rizzo hit a two-run homer and scored three runs as the Chicago Cubs defeated the Cincinnati Reds, 9-4, in the second and final installment of a rain-shortened series. Starlin Castro and Wellington Castillo both supplied three hits apiece and Nate Schierholtz drove in three runs for Chicago, which has won two of its last three games. Starter Edwin Jackson (2-2) earned the win despite surrendering four runs on five hits with three strikeouts and two walks over 5 2/3 innings. Todd Frazier hit a two-run double and Brayan Pena homered as the Reds lost for the fourth time in five games. Starter Tony Cingrani gave up three runs on six hits, but Nick Christiani (0-1) was tagged with the loss after allowing two runs on two hits with three walks across two innings. "I'm just a little fatigued," said Cingrani. "I was laboring. I don't know what it is about the first inning, I've just got to pitch." Emilio Bonifacio singled to right to lead off the first for the Cubs. Two batters later, Rizzo crushed a deep home run to left center field to give Chicago an early 2-0 lead. The Reds responded quickly in the bottom half of the frame. Joey Votto reached on a double with one out and moved up to third on Brandon Phillips' groundout. Jackson walked Jay Bruce to put runners on the corners. Todd Frazier crushed a fastball off the left-field wall for a double that brought in two runs to tie the game at two apiece. Pena led off the bottom of the second with a solo shot to right, making it a 3-2 game. Chicago tied it in the top of the third. Junior Lake hit a one-out single and Rizzo walked before Lake raced home on Castro's RBI single. Christiani entered the game in relief of Cingrani to start the fifth. He was greeted with a double from Lake and then he walked Rizzo and Castro to load the bases with no outs. Mike Olt grounded into a force out that scored Lake, and Schierholtz hit a sacrifice fly to left that brought in Rizzo for a 5-3 lead. Cincinnati got one back in the fifth. Billy Hamilton got aboard on a one-out single, moved up to second on Votto's grounder, stole third, and made it a 5-4 game on Phillips' single to left. The Cubs tacked on insurance runs in the ninth. Schierholtz connected on a single up the middle to score Rizzo and Castro. Three batters later with runners on second and third, Ryan Kalish reached on a fielding error that scored Schierholtz. Bonifacio then doubled to bring in Castillo, giving the Cubs a 9-4 advantage. "We had good at-bats all night," Rizzo said. "Schierholtz had a huge at-bat in the ninth." Game Notes Rizzo walked four times ... Pena's home run was the first that Jackson has given up this season. He had not given up a home run in 31 1/3 innings dating back to Sep. 28 of last season ... Chicago will return home to kick off a three-game series with St. Louis on Friday ... The Reds continue their homestand with a four-game set against the Brewers on Thursday.

The University of California recently commissioned a report on the campus climate that accuses students and faculty who are critical of Israel of contributing to a negative environment for Jewish students. Under the false assumption that criticism of Israeli state policies constitutes hate speech against Jewish students, the report recommends wide forms of censorship to limit criticism of Israel. These include banning speakers from campus to enforcing "balance" at political events to prohibiting "hate speech" that is allegedly anti-Semitic under a controversial definition of that word.
Some Jewish students excluded from the report have blasted the assumption that criticism of Israel is anti-Semitic. The report has been widely criticized in the media and by Palestinian rights advocates, Jewish groups, and free speech supporters. But relatively little attention has been paid to the role of the UC Administration in contributing to a climate of fear, censorship, and intimidation for those speaking out against human rights violations in Israel/Palestine.
The infographic below documents some of the worst examples of the administration intimidating and censoring students and faculty who speak in support of Palestinian rights during the past three years. These incidents give much needed context to the recently released report, which calls for restrictions on speech so severe that even its authors acknowledge may "result in legal challenges."
(Click on the image below to view it larger.)
- January 2009 – A panel hosted by UCLA's Center for Near Eastern Studies titled "Human Rights & Gaza" features four professors speaking on Operation Cast Lead, the massive Israeli invasion of Gaza. Although not deemed newsworthy at the time, the event is later labeled as disruptive, anti-Semitic & threatening to the Jewish population in several media outlets.
- February 2009 – UC Santa Barbara's Academic Senate launches an investigation into Sociology Professor William Robinson and his use of course material referencing the Israeli assault on Gaza in the winter of 2008-9 in his class on global conflicts and struggles.
- June 2009 – The widely criticized investigation of Professor Robinson is dropped after 6 months. Investigators find that he acted "in accord with the principles of academic freedom, especially when teaching a class whose content is the sociology of globalization."
- February 2010 – A speaking engagement by Israeli ambassador Michael Oren at UC Irvine is interrupted by 11 students protesting Israeli human rights violations who briefly disrupt his speech while walking out. The students, known as the Irvine 11, were arrested and threatened with academic punishments. They also received numerous death threats.
- March 2010 – UC Berkeley's SJP proposes a motion to the student government seeking to divest from companies financially involved in the Israeli occupation. Although the motion passes by a large majority (16-4), it is vetoed by the student body president a week later. The UC Regents issue a statement supporting the veto.
- May 2010 – In response to the Irvine 11 protest, UC Irvine suspends the Muslim Student Union (MSU), a religious group that facilitates prayer and communal services for all Muslim students on campus. MSU was suspended even though the organization did not endorse the protest, though students who were members of the organization had been involved in the protest.
- June 2010 – UC President Mark Yudof appoints an Advisory Council on Campus Climate, Culture and Inclusion, following a number of incidents at UC.
- September 2010 – The Third World Mural at UC Davis, which includes a Palestinian flag in the shape of a dove, is defaced and painted over with a Star of David.
- October 2010 – The Anti-Defamation League labels Students for Justice in Palestine one of its Top 10 Anti-Israel Groups in America. Other groups on the list include Jewish Voice for Peace and Friends of Sabeel, a Palestinian Christian ecumenical organization that promotes peace and justice for Palestinians.
- February 2011 – Just under a year after the protest, the Orange County District Attorney charges the Irvine 11 with two misdemeanor counts of conspiracy to disrupt a meeting and disruption of a meeting.
- March 2011 – Tammi Rossman-Benjamin , UC Santa Cruz lecturer and head of AMCHA Initiative, an organization that "combats anti-Jewish bigotry on California campuses," petitions the US Department of Education to investigate "anti-Israel" discourse at UCSC and whether it constitutes a hostile environment for Jewish students.
- March 2011 – Jessica Felber, UC Berkeley student, sues the University of California alleging that the UC abets a hostile climate against Jewish students by allowing SJP to protest Israeli policies on campus.
- July 2011 – Through the Advisory Council on Campus Climate, Culture and Inclusion, UC President Mark Yudof creates the Campus Climate Investigation.
- September 2011 – A court finds the Irvine 11 guilty and the students are ordered to do community service. The defendants appeal the verdict.
- November 2011 – Felber's lawsuit against the UC is dismissed, but plaintiffs are allowed to re-file.
- November 2011 – In a speech to the Anti-Defamation League, UC President Mark Yudof praises the efforts of UC Irvine Chancellor Michael Drake to impose additional time, place, and manner restrictions on activists protesting human rights violations in Palestine. Drake had directed that his students move their protest to outside his office so that he could personally monitor them.
- January 2012 – California State Northridge Professor David Klein is targeted by supporters of Israel for petitioning against study abroad programs in Israel maintained by the California State University (CSU) system.
- February 2012 – A silent walkout organized by SJP in protest of an event at UC Davis titled "IDF Soldiers Speak Out" is interrupted by a student not affiliated with SJP. Days later, UC President Yudof writes an open letter to the UC system in which he portrays the SJP as responsible for the disruption and without providing evidence, associates the group with other incidents, including the defacing of an Israeli flag and the hanging of a noose at UC San Diego.
- February 2012 – Pro-Israel groups led by Tammi Rossman-Benjamin's AMCHA Initiative attempt but fail to shut down a lecture series by Professor Ilan Pappe at California State and UC campuses.
- March 2012 – The AMCHA Initiative asks the UCLA Academic Senate to investigate Professor David Shorter for referencing the Palestinian-led Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement in a class about indigenous struggles. Academic Senate Chair Andrew Leuchter violates university policy and publically reprimands Shorter.
- June 2012 – The California Attorney General declines a petition by the AMCHA Initiative to sue Northridge Professor David Klein for alleged misuse of university resources for hosting online materials about the boycott of Israel using university resources. In declining the petition, the California's Deputy Attorney General wrote that after carefully considering the complaint his office had found "no basis for any action on our part."
- July 2012 – The UCLA Academic Senate officially clears Professor Shorter of any wrong doing, finding that the investigation of his course was unmerited and that Academic Senate Chair Leuchter acted inappropriately when accepting the complaint of an outside group.
- July 2012 – The re-filed Felber v Yudof case is settled, with the plaintiffs agreeing that the UC was not at any fault, and the UC agreeing to minor changes to campus policies surrounding protests.
- July 2012 – Lawyers for Jessica Felber in the Felber v Yudof case, Joel Siegal and Neal Sher, initiate a Title VI complaint with the US Department of Education. The complaint asks the federal government to investigate an alleged climate of hostility against Jewish students on campus stemming from criticism of Israel.
- July 2012 – The UC Advisory Council on Campus Climate, Culture and Inclusion releases its Campus Climate reports on Jewish and Arab/Muslim experiences on campus. The Jewish Students report recommends broad censorship to reduce criticism of Israel on campus. The Jewish Students report puts forth highly criticized recommendations for banning certain forms of speech on UC campuses that are deemed critical of Israel.

Praise for Lavanya Sankaran's The Red Carpet
"By the end of [the] very first story, people half a world away have been transformed into complete human beings, full of frailties and fragile self-regard, achingly sympathetic. That's why The Red Carpet reads like a revelation. . . . I recommend this book so highly!"—Carolyn See, The Washington Post
"Throughout these fine, articulate stories, Lavanya Sankaran brings to life the new and old social worlds of Bangalore. More important, she uses the quiet dignity of her characters to reveal what's universal in the wide rift between generations. It's an unusually elegant and nuanced portrait."—John Dalton, author of The Inverted Forest
"It's a pity there aren't more stories to be told in Carpet. They're so much fun."—The Dallas Morning News
"[An] animated debut . . . [These stories] are memorable for their subtle wit and convincing evocation of a dynamic world."—Publishers Weekly

The Toucan Team of Monthly Columnists
One of the goals of our new Toucan blog is to bring you content that adds to your awareness and enjoyment of comics and the popular arts. We've gathered a team of four monthly writers, each of them well known in the comics industry, to write about various topics for Toucan. We're happy to introduce you to the "Toucan Team" of contributors!
For the first month, we've asked our contributing writers to tell us what they love about comics. Starting January 8 and running each Tuesday for the rest of the month, they'll tell us how comics have impacted their lives and careers. Our regular schedule of Tuesday posts will begin on February 5.
The Toucan Team of columnists are:
Maggie Thompson (Maggie's World: first Tuesday of every month)
Don and Maggie Thompson were among the pioneering fans in the 1960s who published amateur magazines devoted to comics. Their fan activities included (but were not limited to) Comic Art and Newfangles, participating in the All in Color for a Dime and The Comic-Book Book collections of comics articles, and a column for The Buyer's Guide for Comic Fandom. The duo was hired to edit Buyer's Guide when it was sold to a Wisconsin publisher, and Maggie continued to edit Comics Buyer's Guide following Don's death. She remains active in the field today as both collector and essayist. In the course of things, she has received an Inkpot Award, the Bob Clampett Humanitarian Award, the Diamond Lifetime Fandom Award, the Alan Ackerman Award, and the Friends of Lulu Women of Distinction Award. She has also co-written (with Don) and written solo a handful of published comic-book stories, including a four-issue Dark Shadows arc.
Steve Lieber (Dilettante: second Tuesday of every month)
Steve Lieber studied art at the Joe Kubert School. His comics and illustration have been published by DC, Marvel, Dark Horse, Image, Dupuis, Scholastic, and many other publishers, but he's best known for his work on Whiteout, a graphic novel adapted by Warner Brothers as a feature starring Kate Beckinsale. His current project is illustrating Alabaster, a dark fantasy series at Dark Horse. His various projects have received nine Eisner Award nominations, and he won the Eisner for Best Limited Series for Whiteout Volume 2: Melt. Steve's a founding member of Periscope Studio, the largest studio of comic book artists in North America. He lives in Portland, Oregon with his wife, the novelist Sara Ryan. For more info, visit stevelieber.com
Marc Bernardin (Devourer of Words: third Tuesday of every month)
Marc Bernardin has been a managing editor of Starlog magazine, a consulting editor for Fangoria magazine and a senior editor for Entertainment Weekly and EW.com. He just wrapped up his first season as a television writer, for Syfy's Alphas and is currently an editor for The Hollywood Reporter as well as a blogger for sites like GQ.com, io9.com, Vulture.com, and Blastr.com. He's also a comic book writer, having authored or co-authored Static Shock (DC), X-Men Origins: Nightcrawler, Wolverine (Marvel), The Authority (WildStorm), The Highwaymen (WildStorm), GENIUS (Top Cow), Hero Complex (Kickstart), and Monster Attack Network (AiT/Planetlar). Some of those books are being adapted for the screen, while others are quite content to look quite handsome on a shelf. All of the following are true: He has sat in James T.

The line between in-store and online experiences continues to blur.
When a customer is in a store, branch office, or retail location, and appears to need help, a salesperson will engage the customer, provide personalized assistance, and attempt to complete a sale of the highest possible value. The salesperson will use all the information available—the types of products the customer is shopping for, are they having trouble finding a product or trying to compare products, do they appear frustrated, are they walking away from their cart and towards a door, is this a regular customer... And based on this information, along with the expected value of the customer and transaction, the salesperson will deliver the appropriate type and level of assistance.
LivePerson enables e-commerce managers to replicate this very same process within the online sales process. In fact, with superior intelligence, more engagement options, and with voice-of-the customer insights based on aggregate engagement results, the e-commerce manager can—in many ways—do a far better job, and do it with greater efficiency.
LivePerson has empowered over 8,500 companies to substantially increase their e-commerce results. Clients typically realize:
- 20% increases in online sales
- 35% increases in average orders values through cross-sells and upsells
- Reduced shopping cart abandonment
- Reduced cost per acquisition
- Increases in repeat sales

How often do you pay attention to the ad/links when you're in Gmail? I rarely do so. I happened to glance up just now and read this:
Funny Quote of the Day – "If opportunity doesn't knock, build a door." – Milton Berle
For me, at this particular point in time, and specifically for today, this quote resonates with me. (serendipitous? maybe) As someone who's actively job-searching and networking, I'm discovering that you can't always wait for opportunities to present themselves to you. (At times, you can — maybe before the job market took a downward spiral — but if you want to move forward, and keep moving forward, you have to put yourself out there and seek opportunities on your own.) If you're lucky enough to come across a great opportunity, run with it. I'm thinking of doing just that these days…why not? Maybe it's time I make my door.
Thoughts of fear, failure, or uncertainty shouldn't hold you back. Sometimes the unknown has propelled me to some of my most rewarding life experiences…in school, work, and my personal life.
For anyone else on the job search, or life search for that matter, think about building that door…and as Mike Holmes would say, stay in hustle mode.

"How does time perspective shape our lives?" is the question…
Thanks, Adam for this video from @GoogleTalks, through the Authors@Google series.
In The Time Paradox, Drs. Zimbardo and Boyd draw on thirty years of pioneering research to reveal, for the first time, how your individual time perspective shapes your life and is shaped by the world around you. Further, they demonstrate that your and every other individual's time zones interact to create national cultures, economics, and personal destinies.

Hunch: Helps You Make Decisions

My friend Jessiena, just sent me a link to Hunch. She's so great, up on what's cool in digital. (She better, she works at Popular Front. They only like smart people.)
So far there's not much to Hunch – it hasn't fully launched but has started sending invitations to people who sign up. The landing page says
Hunch helps you make decisions and gets smarter the more you use it.
Check out more info on the Fact Sheet. Over-generalizing, it sounds like it's a much smarter, technologically-oriented Magic 8 Ball. After giving users 10 questions, Hunch will "will propose a concrete and customized result for hundreds of decisions of every kind". By utilizing user-created responses (edits, ideas, suggestions, etc.) and customizing results per user, Hunch aims to harness group think and machine learning – with the ultimate goal being to help you and I out with decision making.
The idea of Hunch sounds fascinating – harnessing group think/collective intelligence to help people solve problems makes sense, right? And the fact that results will be based on structure — algorithm, increased user involvement, etc. — makes for a potentially convincing and useful service. I think Hunch is one to watch – Flickr co-founder Catarina Fake, is co-founder, so you'd think these people believe in design, usability, and solutions.
Music to My Ears…and Brain
Posted February 13, 2009on:
I'm bored so I'm running through the latest RCRDLBL free downloads. Here's what I'm adding:
"Shampoo [Alternate Version]" / Elvis Perkins
"Slow Burning Crimes" / East Hundred
"The Echo" and "Why Not" / Voxhaul Broadcast
"Round N Round [feat 77Klash]" / Bosco Delray
And speaking of music – today I was at the bookstore and came across This Is Your Brain on Music: The Science of a Human Obsession by Daniel Levitin. Levitin, a musician turned neuroscientist, reveals the science behind our preferences for music, among other topics such as:
- Is there a cutoff point for acquiring new tastes in music?
- What do PET scans and MRIs reveal about the brain's response to music?
- Is musical pleasure different from other kinds of pleasure?
This is yet another book I'm adding to my 'must read' list!

Texting With Stamps
Posted February 10, 2009on:
About a month ago I went to the Walker Art Center's Art Lab to participate in some text messaging at the event TXT IMGE BK GNR8TR. This was no ordinary texting action, nooo…using letterpress wood type (stamps), I crafted a unique, analog 'text message' for my friend Allison. Once I finished my text, I stepped over to the photo lab, where I was photographed with some mobiles that weighed about 5 lbs each. (I believe these photos were to be a part of an artist's book, but I am not sure on the details.) I then used the pic to add to my text so Allison could see just what I had been up to. I have to say, this crafty text event was fun, something I'd never done before–I even felt like I was in kindergarten, sitting there taking directions on how to fold my paper and envelope, getting inky and messy, and even stamping a letter down backwards (doh!). After the night I had, I felt a bit de-stressed and calm. What some art-making can do for you 🙂
Unfortunately, this event isn't running now, but check out other fun and educational events at learn.walkerart.org.

Alright, is everyone back with us? Good. I would hesitate to call The Walking Dead Season 2: Episode 3 – In Harm's Way "fun" but then again it's not supposed to be. It's an incredible piece of media, one that everyone should experience, but it doesn't produce the same feelings that a "fun" game does.
Rather, this episode makes you think. It makes you examine the things you are doing in new lights. It forces you to make actions like the "examine butterfly" one in the intro, just because it makes the things that happen afterward feel more poignant. You'll find that this happens a lot over the episode. You'll be forced to walk down a hallway to continue a scene just because it feels like you have a role in it. You'll talk with someone several times just to keep the story moving. Where normally this would feel like a chore in any other game, The Walking Dead makes it feel as if every action you take has meaning, because you are the one who is taking them.
There are a couple game-y elements The Walking Dead Season 2: Episode 3 – In Harm's Way. You'll encounter a few stealth sections, some timed puzzles, and of course the zombie fighting quick time events. You'll also see some pretty drastic consequences of your choices in episodes 1 and 2, sometimes coming down to characters that live or die and their impact on the direction the story goes.
However, once again the majority of this game hinges on its spectacular dialogue, fantastic dialogue choices, and other cinematic elements. The game also manages to lay out environments in such a way that you end up hearing even more cinematic dialogue than you usually would. The thing you need to advance the scene will usually be in an unlikely area, and as you wander around trying to find it, you'll hear even more backstory. The animations are also smooth as always and the voice acting is, once again, some of the best in the industry, which just makes the story even more believable.
If I had to nitpick the game a bit, I could notice a couple flaws. For one, the camera tends to jitter a lot, especially during scripted sequences. This only seems to happen if you move the cursor in an attempt to control the camera, but it still can be quite jarring, and if you don't move the cursor back to a neutral position the camera will continue to jitter all throughout the scene.
This episode also features the return of a lot of characters from 400 Days. However, I kind of feel like this was missed potential. With the exception of one character whose 400 Days story isn't even mentioned, all of the 400 Days characters are really sort of cameos. They will say one or two words to you as you walk past them and that's about it. They don't play any major part in the story and don't interact with you in any meaningful way. I really would have liked to see these characters integrated with the plot a bit more.
But aside from those few gripes, The Walking Dead Season 2: Episode 3 – In Harm's Way is still a phenomenal game. The episodes truly do feel like they are getting better and better with each passing one. Let's hope that Telltale can keep up this string of hits right up to the conclusion of the series. Only two episodes left now!

This chapter is intended to maintain the aesthetic and environmental benefits provided by trees and stable soils and to prevent erosion and sedimentation which can have severe negative effects on the environment in general. The protection of streams and lakes from the damage caused by sediment and avoidance of impaired water quality are major goals of this chapter. This chapter also provides a means to mitigate the adverse effects of tree loss as a result of development projects.
As used in this chapter, the following terms shall have the meanings indicated:
- Any person who has met the qualifying conditions of education and experience set forth by NJDEP Bureau of Forestry, and whose name appears on their annual approved forester's list.
- The area in which trees have been designated for cutting, obtained by traversing the outer periphery of those trees and taking into consideration the delineation of the natural boundaries located within the property.
- To dig, move, deposit, fill, grade, replace, level or otherwise alter or change the location or contour of the land or transport or supply soil; to cut, remove or otherwise destroy existing trees or forested areas.
- Any area of land which has been disturbed in accordance with the definitions herein or is contemplated to be disturbed.
- The application of business methods, techniques and technical forest principles applied to the management of a forested property.
- A specific document that describes the need for forest planning on timbered land proposed for management, prepared by a forester approved by the NJDEP Bureau of Forest Management. Said plan must be reviewed and approved by NJDEP Bureau of Forest Management.
- A plan prepared by an approved forester describing the area to be harvested, its existing forested condition, the numbers, sizes, species, and volumes to be harvested, a description of equipment and methods to be used during the actual removal of the timber, conservation and soil erosion control methods to be used during the operation, a plat map showing the location of all landing areas, skid trails and logging roads and the boundaries of the proposed harvest/cutting area.
- Any parcel of land located within the boundaries of Jefferson Township, either improved or unimproved, which shall be designated as a lot on the Official Tax Map of the Township of Jefferson and any amendments thereto. All contiguous properties in the same ownership shall be considered as one lot for purposes of this chapter.
- NURSERY or ORCHARD

- A person having actual possession of any premises or any part thereof.
- A person or entity who or which, alone or jointly with others, has legal or equitable title to premises with or without accompanying actual possession, including an executor, administrator, trustee or guardian of an estate or a mortgagee in possession.
- A license issued by the Township Forester or the Township Engineer (or other designated official) of the Township of Jefferson to disturb land under the provisions herein.
- Includes corporations, companies, associations, societies, firms, partnerships and joint-stock companies, as well as individuals.
- Any change or alteration in the grade of any property.
- A tree of a species approved by the Township Forester having a diameter of at least 2 1/2 inches measured 4 1/2 feet above the ground.

In the event that his successor has not been appointed by January 15, his term shall expire on the appointment of his successor.
- Any living, woody, perennial plant having a diameter of four inches or greater measured 4 1/2 feet above ground.
The following activities on any lot shall be exempt from the provisions of this chapter:
Disturbance of less than 5,000 square feet of soil during any calendar year; provided, however, that no disturbance area exists as a result of disturbance which occurred during a prior calendar year and which has not been restored.

Applications which are made in conjunction with a building permit for a single-family home shall include provisions for replacement trees.
The applicant shall be encouraged to save as many trees as possible within the disturbed area.

The LANCE® Ultra E. coli HCP Detection Kit is designed for detection and quantitation of human E. coli host cell proteins in cell culture media using a homogeneous TR-FRET (no-wash steps, no separation steps) assay.
LANCE® and LANCE® (Lanthanide chelate excite) Ultra are our TR-FRET (time-resolved fluorescence resonance energy transfer), homogeneous (no wash) technologies. One antibody of interest is labeled with a donor fluorophore (a LANCE Europium chelate) and the second molecule is labeled with an acceptor fluorophore (ULight™ dye). Upon excitation at 320 or 340 nm, energy can be transferred from the donor Europium chelate to the acceptor fluorophore if sufficiently close for FRET (~10 nm). This results in the emission of light at 665 nm.
Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacteria are commonly utilized as an expression system for the production of human recombinant proteins at industrial scale. However, since very frequently these proteins are intended to be used as therapeutics for humans, they must be subsequently purified to remove undesired contaminants that could elicit toxic or immunological reactions. Therefore, there is a current need to quantitate and trace these unwanted host cell proteins in protein preparations with excellent sensitivity and robustness, while maintaining high throughput capabilities.

"Genuinely a must-have book." - Ron Silliman
With a Pre-Face by Jerome Rothenberg, this book documents and expands upon the acclaimed exhibit at the New York Public Library (January-July, 1998). Over 80 presses and magazines at the confluence of the New American Poetry and the Small Press Revolution are described, frequently in the words of the editor(s) involved. Among those included are: J, Open Space, White Rabbit, Oyez, Yugen, Floating Bear, Measure, Semina, Beatitude, Black Mountain Review, Origin, Poems from the Floating World, Some/thing, Maps, Matter, Set, Something Else Press, Duende, Wild Dog, Umbra, Hambone, White Dove Review, "C", Fuck You, Living Hand, Angel Hair, Big Sky, The World, Z, United Artists, Center, 0 to 9, Lines, Adventures in Poetry, Siamese Banana, Dodgems, Vehicle, Telephone, MagCity, L=A=N=G=U=A=G=E, Joglars, This, Tottel's, Hills, The Figures, Roof, Sun & Moon, and Tuumba.

It serves not only as a checklist and documentary of an era in American literary history, but as inspiration for poets, artists, editors, and publishers. Illustrated with over 200 black and white photographs. Checklists are provided; another 500 presses and magazines are cataloged in an appendix. There is also an extensive index, a 50 page introduction by Steve Clay and Rodney Phillips, and a gatefold pullout literary chronology of the 1950-1980 period.
Co-published with the New York Public Library. Designed by Marc Blaustein. 1,000 copies bound in cloth over boards; 4,000 copies bound in paper wrappers.

Congressman Chip Cravaack of Minnesota's 8th District is one of Power Line's "Pick Six" candidates. Cravaack won perhaps the biggest upset of the 2010 cycle when he defeated Jim Oberstar in a district the Democrats had held for longer than anyone can remember. Cravaack is one of a handful of Republican House members whose races are drawing massive infusions of cash from the national Democrats. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee is currently blanketing Minnesota's airwaves with outrageously misleading commercials against Cravaack (they never mention his mediocre opponent).
I sat down with Chip for this interview a few weeks ago:
Cravaack is running a strong race. His military background as a Navy pilot and his history as a leader of the airline pilot's union have opened doors for him in his union-friendly district, and despite the Democrats' hysterical efforts, he has a good shot at re-election. Chip's American Conservative Union rating for 2011 was 88%, so he is winning with a solidly conservative approach to the issues. If you would like to donate to Chip's campaign–please do!–go here.

Every single day large numbers of people fall prey to Internet fraud. Every click on the Internet is a potential open door to having our computer attacked or even worse, having personal information stolen. There is identity theft, phishing, spyware, viruses and the list of threats continues. Innocence is what makes most people vulnerable. I hope that most of the people that are reading this article are not only aware of these dangers but have already taken steps towards protecting themselves. Personal firewalls, anti-virus, anti-spyware are all good measures but a lot of us are forget one of the basic ones, a good password.
I want to list some of the tips that I use to keep my passwords fresh. It is a combined effort between changing passwords periodically and also having different passwords for "primary" and "secondary" accounts that are not easy to guess.
Before getting into what "primary" and "secondary" accounts mean, and as you read the article you would understand why I place emphasis on the difference. You should always have a principal e-mail address. You can have as many secondary addresses as you want, but you should always keep one e-mail address as your most important one. If you only have one e-mail address then consider that your principal address. Secondary e-mail addresses you might use for junk, gaming, signing up at websites that require an e-mail address, etc.
Now we can move on and define a "Primary" account is. Any OS password, bank account, paypal, or any login that would have a financial impact if broken into should be considered primary. If you are a web admin or had a weblog I would also consider any of those accounts to be primary for the simple reason that if someone deletes all the content, you would lose both time and money recreating it not to mention sentimental value. Last but not least I also include your principal e-mail password in this primary group.
"Secondary" systems are various secondary e-mail addresses, logins for signing up at websites, message boards, e-mail lists passwords are all less likely to need as much attention as your primary accounts.
Now that you are confused, lets start with the "Secondary" systems passwords. I would recommend that you get a very hard to break password and just stick to it for all of the secondary accounts. Most of them you are seldom going to use and you do not want to make them hard to remember by having a stream of unimportant emails. We need your time and effort dedicated to primary accounts. So once you have come up with a general "Secondary" account password stick to it and just keep on using it. Besides if it is ever broken you do not use it for anything of much importance.
Your "Primary" accounts passwords are the most important. For them to be secure they should be changed periodically and they also has to be hard to break. This poses the first problem. How am I going to change my password all the time and not remember it? Most people don't change their passwords as often as they should because of this reason, fear of forgetting the password. Some people have never changed their password from their original one used. Here are some simple tips on building passwords that are not easy to break and you can always remember them.
Never use personal information. The first trap many people fall into is using their child's name, or their pet's name. Worse is to use someone's birthday. If someone wants to guess your password, this is exactly where someone is going to go for information. Most of the time when someone is trying to obtain a password they go to personal information right after they have exhausted commonly used passwords such as secret, password, love, god, or a four-letter word. Also never use number only streams, 1234 or your phone number, all of which are not good passwords.
The first step in building a good password is to go ahead and use your favorite things, but in a slightly different way. Lets take your favorite number. I know I just said not to use number streams but we are going to mix numbers and letters to build better passwords so just stay with me. So let's say that your favorite number is 1. Use that number but in combination with others. For example, the password at your work has to be changed every month. Use your favorite number and add it to the month of the year, so now you have a variation in your arsenal for building the password. You will always be able to remember your favorite number and the current month. Another thing besides adding it is just using it, so for this month you could use 7 or 16.
The second pieces of the puzzle are your word streams. Here is where it gets fun. Use your guilty pleasures, like that movie that you love secretly but are too embarrassed to tell others. Things like this will make awesome password character streams. Other useful words to mix into your streams are trivial things like that pop bottle that sits on your desk all the time. For different websites your trivial word can also be related to the action, so for your bank your trivial word could be penny or the first word that comes to your mind when you hear the word bank. So if I were to change my password this month I would have used rounders7pop for a password as an example. It is not excellent, but it is a lot better than some of the passwords that some people use.
Third step is to use numbers for letter replacement. Some simple ones are Zero for O, 3 for E and 4 for A. Using this method you make your passwords a little stronger, my password for the moth just became r0und3rs7p0p. You can always take this method further and make the replacement your own, like you always replace P with 2 no logical reason for it.
Fourth step in our strategy is to use capital letters mixed in. Some systems do not allow it but if they do use it. I like using capital letters in the place of spaces would go, also at the beginning and ending of the stream. So my password is now R0und3rs7PoP. A little bit harder to crack, easy to remember and probably not as simple as the ones that you already might have used before. To me, coming up with passwords is fun, something I enjoy. There are random password generators out there that you can also use to come up with even better passwords, the problem I have with them is that most people do not memorize them but rather write them down which in most environments defeats the purpose of having a password.
My last tip is to use special characters when the system allows it, and & * or % can go a long way into making a password. The two most important things to remember is to make it something that no one can guess, and of course something you will not forget!
Disclaimer, these are only tips and I am not at all responsible for your security. You are free to use the ideas contained in this guide, as you see fit. I am just trying to help people that might not change their passwords out, not trying to tell people what to do.

Since we just got off this discussion of how hitting will work - now with check swings! - in MLB 2K10, here's a video showing how at bats will play out in the game, for both pitchers and hitters.
It also offers a good three-minute look at gameplay. While MLB 2K10's visuals are not as crisp as the uncommonly good MLB 10 The Show, they have improved noticeably over last year's game. One thing I'm not crazy about here is the typeface on the name-tape above the uniform numeral. It doesn't correspond to its normal presentation and many teams (the Braves, for example) have variances on this.
I offer this criticism fully aware of its aesthetic nature. Then again, baseball fans are notoriously picky about such things. But it has nothing to do with the gameplay, which I'll have to spend more time with once the game releases March 2.

Viral Marketing is StupidBlog Post: March 28, 2008
Weird We posted about basically the same thing on the same day. I think mine was published first, so I win.
This is what I said:
"The larger your potential audience the harder it is to make something become viral. The problem is that we all have the same base interests but our higher level interests are weird and varied. Everyone watches when somebody starts to take their clothes off, but only a few people are interested in bird watching or canoe making."
Trying to compete and create content for the masses is hard because everyone likes violence, nudity, monkey's smelling their poo etc.. Millions of people are creating content for the billions. But as you make your adience more targeted making something go viral in a small world becomes much easier.
This website is a perfect example - only a small group of people care about SEO tactics. Because the audience is so passionate almost everything you say will go viral.

With 42 green buildings Chennai is greener than any other city in India.
In total 212 structures are classified as ecofriendly in India by the Green Building Council (IGBC). A green building is a building that uses less water, that operates energy efficient and sustainable. It conserves more natural resources and has better indoor environmental quality that the normal houses.
With 42 of them in Chennai, the city is leading in India followed by Mumbai with 29 green buildings. Hyderabad and Bangalore are following with 24 green buildings. After a huge cut Kolkata follows with 8 environment-friedly buildings.
The state with the most green buildings is Tamil Nadu (57) and even more have registered for the classification in 2011. Salem, Siruseri and Coimbatore come in last with one green building each.
According to the IGBC there is an increase in buildung ecofriendly houses in Tamil Nadu since the state has been awarded green certifications. Between 2004 and 2008 Chennai only won 10 certificates, between 2009 and 2011 the number increased to 37. This could be due to the fact that green certificates mirror corporate social responsibility as well. Consequently the registrations for green certificates increased also.
The rating of the IGBC is divided into four categories: platinum at the top, gold, silver and certified buildings.
At first the creation of a green building is more expensive than to build a normal one, but in the longterm the returns are high. The green building costs about 3 to 4 percent more, but the building consumes around 40 to 50 percent less energy and cuts water consumption by almost 40 percent.

The Glass is 14% Full
If you're out there with online display ads, do you wring your hands when you read in MediaPost that 'only' 14% of people can name the company, the brand or the product for the last display ad they saw? We suggest you should think again.
That's a huge number!
Think about it. Do you remember the company, brand or product for the last TV ad you saw? Or the last magazine ad you saw? It's likely that you don't even remember that there was an ad.
And, when it comes to relevance, "2.8% of respondents said they thought the ads they saw met their needs to either answer a question or provide more information". That compares well to direct response advertising, especially direct mail.
There's no question that display ads could be better, more targeted, more creative, and presented in less cluttered environments. However, they aren't dead yet. This glass isn't 86% empty. It's 14% full.
