3 Days -- 3,000 Ideas
By President Tom Rochon
The undergraduate student population on the Ithaca College campus increased overnight by more than 50 percent between March 31 and April 2 of this year.
No, we didn't accidentally send out an extra 3,400 letters of admission. We did, however, welcome that many student scholars at IC for a few days. As hosts of the National Conference for Undergraduate Research (NCUR), Ithaca College was the site of 2,836 individual scholarly presentations, 27 art exhibits, and 19 performing arts sessions — all by students who have been doing original work under faculty mentorship. The scale of the conference is suggested by the fact that extra flights were organized in and out of Ithaca's regional airport; buses made their way up South Hill in a long line; and hotel rooms were completely booked as far away as Auburn, Cortland, Binghamton, and Owego.
Students came from Wales and from Wisconsin, from as close as Cornell and as far as Korea. The students from North Dakota exclaimed at the balmy spring weather; the students from Florida froze. In all there was representation from 44 states, Puerto Rico, and the District of Columbia, along with a half dozen other countries. The largest single student contingent was from Ithaca College itself, with 240 student presentations among the nearly 2,900 scheduled.
The range of topics was dizzying. Does teen pregnancy have an impact on health and mortality in later life? How can music be used to help people learn foreign languages more easily? Are recycling programs making headway in Amman, Jordan? How is free market capitalism changing traditional Chinese values? What would be the single most powerful step for reducing infant mortality in sub-Saharan Africa? What kinds of environmental stimulation is most effective in alleviating learning deficits in rats? What are the key values of Egyptian feminists, and how might they influence that country's path toward democracy? Do advertisements on women's talk shows promote racism? Is there a better way to identify trihalomethane concentrations in drinking water? Does environmentalism threaten indigenous cultures? What happens to Shakespeare when he is translated into German? Have Major League players or owners benefited more from salary arbitration in baseball?
The answers to all these questions, and many more, were provided over the course of three frenetic days. In the old days, meaning two or three years ago, students attending a conference like this one would arrive on the host campus, stand in line to register, and receive a printed book listing the times and places of each presentation — usually with a one-page addendum of last minute additions and changes slipped inside. The printed schedule for this conference was supplemented by putting the program on a mobile website and by establishing a Twitter account that provided constant updates. Students and staff who planned the conference maintained a blog that will be of value for future host sites. As vast as the conference was, with dozens of panels taking place at the same time, it all felt like one coordinated experience.
This was the 25th annual NCUR conference, and it rotates to a different college campus each year. Ithaca College and the surrounding region were able to put their distinctive stamp on the proceedings. Participants were offered a tour of the Finger Lakes area as a diversion from their presentations. The School of Music and the Department of Theatre Arts collaborated to put on a remarkable concert and performance. IC students organized flash mob choreographies and performances at random times and places around the campus — one never knew quite what was going to happen next. All conference meals and activities were marked by a commitment to local foods and to composting that significantly reduced the amount of solid waste and carbon put into the atmosphere.
Strolling among the conference presentations, two impressions jumped out most strongly. First is the astonishingly fast adoption of new technologies by undergraduates performing their own research explorations. Whether it is gene sequencers, magnetic resonance imagers, or the latest statistical methods, technological breakthroughs are being used by today's undergraduates to push the boundaries of knowledge.
The second startling trend lies in the seamless way our students move from the local to the global in their investigations. Research sites ranged from the waters of Cayuga Lake to North Africa to medieval Europe. In their informal conversations, students working in different fields of study and in different parts of the world found connections among their work that created hundreds of aha moments.
This was a week students will remember for the rest of their lives. They'll remember their journey to Ithaca, the beauty of the campus and the surrounding region, and the people they met. More than anything else, they will remember the awe-inspiring sight of thousands of other students like them — curious minds that seek to explore, understand, and create. To see the desire for knowledge so wonderfully cultivated and channeled among undergraduates from around the country was a marvelous experience. The NCUR conference affirmed Ithaca College's place at the forefront of this educational movement.

News from the world of Maths
It's a great day for individual dressage today with the Grand Prix freestyle test taking place in Greenwich Park. It's amazing how those horses can perform elegant and complicated movements without getting their legs in a muddle. Coming to think of it, it's amazing that they can even go through their innate gaits without getting their legs in a muddle, given that there's four of them and they are very long. And what about animals who've got even more legs?
Today the men's table tennis teams will be battling for gold. Table tennis first became an Olympic sport in 1988, but changed its scoring system in 2001 to make matches more exciting for spectators. But how do the old and new scoring systems compare in terms of favouring skill versus luck?
It's the very last medal day for track cycling! If you've been watching, you might have noticed the steep banks of the elegant wooden cycling track. And you may have been impressed by the sweeping curved roof and beautiful cedar clad exterior of the Velodrome, the first of the 2012 London Olympic venues to be completed.
Today's a great day for badminton with gold medals being awarded in the men's singles and doubles. This got us thinking about shuttlecocks. They are not like balls at all and this means that they don't behave like balls either. John D. Barrow, mathematician, cosmologist and prolific popular science writer, explains.
A new mathematical analysis of how to hit a winning serve shows that spin is the thing. Perhaps there's still time for Murray's coach to include some maths in his preparations for the match today...
The men's lightweight fours and the women's eights are going to compete for medals today, but are they sitting in the right place? Usually you expect to find rowers positioned in a symmetrical fashion, alternately right-left, right-left as you go from one end of the boat to the other. However, the regularity of the rower's positions hides a significant asymmetry that affects the way the boat will move through the water.
Usain Bolt is determined to become a legend this weekend, by running the 100m in 9.4 seconds. But what does mathematics have to say about this quest? Is there an ultimate limit which no runner can possibly surpass? If there is one, where would such a limit lie? For instance, is there a sub 9 second record in the offing?
Some very exciting medals are going to be won today, including the women's 200m butterfly and the men's 100m freestyle. But we're unlikely to see the rush of record-breaking performances we saw in Beijing in 2008 — that's because in 2008 many swimmers benefited from controversial performance swim suits, which have now been banned. But how did these suits improve performance?

A free exhibition celebrating the career of renowned soprano Maria Callas is now open in the Cloakroom Corridor at the Royal Opera House.
Maria Callas and The Royal Opera commemorates the 60th anniversary this year of Maria Callas's debut with the Covent Garden Opera Company on 8 November 1952. Callas's costumes are comparatively rare as few seem to have survived, and so the Royal Opera House is fortunate to have two in its Collections as well as some accessories.
Detail of costume worn by Maria Callas as Tosca, 1964 © 2012, Royal Opera House/Royal Opera House Collections
The costumes on show span Callas's appearances here, and include the blue and white Norma costume worn for her London debut in Norma in 1952. Also included is the iconic red dress first worn for the new production of Tosca in 1964, in which Callas sang as Tosca alongside Tito Gobbi as Scarpia. Directed by Franco Zeffirelli, it is hard to convey just how successful this production was. Callas was so nervous on the opening night, that the director had to forcibly push her onto the stage. The production was recreated in other countries and the images of Callas in the red dress are some of the best known of all the photographs taken of her. Tosca was also the last role she sang at the Royal Opera House in 1965, and so this costume is the last one she worn on stage here. Find out more trivia about Callas's appearances in Tosca.
The Exhibitions team has also installed an exhibition to commemorate the centenary of the birth of legendary conductor Georg Solti. The exhibition Georg Solti and The Royal Opera, which is part of worldwide celebrations to mark the Solti 100, also opens on Monday and is free to visit.
Exhibitions can be visited for free during normal daytime opening Monday-Friday, 10am–3.30pm. Before making a special visit, please call +44(0)20 7304 4000 to check that the front of house spaces are open. It is also possible to book guided tours of some of our most special exhibitions. Visit our Exhibitions page for further details.

The Misconception: Your opinions are the result of years of rational, objective analysis.
The Truth: Your opinions are the result of years of paying attention to information which confirmed what you believed while ignoring information which challenged your preconceived notions.
Have you ever had a conversation in which some old movie was mentioned, something like "The Golden Child" or maybe even something more obscure?
You laughed about it, quoted lines from it, wondered what happened to the actors you never saw again, and then you forgot about it. Until…
You are flipping channels one night and all of the sudden you see "The Golden Child" is playing. Weird. The next day you are reading a news story, and out of nowhere it mentions forgotten movies from the 1980s, and holy shit, three paragraphs about "The Golden Child." You see a trailer that night at the theater for a new Eddie Murphy movie, and then you see a billboard on the street promoting Charlie Murphy doing stand-up in town, and then one of your friends sends you a link to a post at TMZ showing recent photos of the actress from "The Golden Child."
What is happening here? Is the universe trying to tell you something? No. This is called the frequency illusion.
Since the party and the conversation where you and your friends took turns saying "I-ah-I-ah-I want the kniiiife" you've flipped channels plenty of times; you've walked past lots of billboards; you've seen dozens of stories about celebrities; you've been exposed to a handful of movie trailers. The thing is, you disregarded all the other information, all the stuff unrelated to "The Golden Child." Out of all the chaos, all the morsels of data, you only noticed the bits which called back to something sitting on top of your brain. A few weeks back, when Eddie Murphy and his Tibetan adventure were still submerged beneath a heap of pop-culture at the bottom of your skull, you wouldn't have paid any special attention to references to it.
If you are thinking about buying a new car, you suddenly see people driving them all over the roads. If you just ended a long-time relationship, every song you hear seems to be written about love. If you are having a baby, you start to see them everywhere. The frequency illusion is often confused with confirmation bias, and the two are pretty similar, but the major difference is that confirmation bias involves an active pursuit for the truth.

Recipes | Chicken Pot Pie
More often than not, when people think about pot pie they think unhealthy, time consuming and boring. Not true. My recipe is filled with vegetables and lean protein. By roasting the ingredients and using a small puff pastry top instead of an entire pie crust, this recipe has a lot of flavor and minimal fat and calories.
Chicken Pot Pie with Puff Pastry (4 servings) :
2 Split Chicken Breasts - $3
4 Carrots - chopped into 1 inch pieces - $1
1 pound of Red Potatoes - cut into 1 inch pieces - $1
2 tablespoons of Olive Oil
3 tablespoons of Butter
3 tablespoons of Flour
1 cup of Chicken Stock - $1
1 cup of Frozen Peas - $1.50
1 package of Puff Pastry (I use Pepperage Farm's in the Freezer section) - $4
Salt & Pepper
Total - $11.50
Calories per serving (approx) - 400
Start by placing the chicken breasts on one side of a baking sheet and the carrots and potatoes on the other side. Drizzle everything with olive oil, then sprinkle generously with salt & pepper. Roast for 20-25 minutes in the oven at 425 degrees.
In the meantime, make the white sauce buy melting the butter in a large shallow saucepan. On low heat, add the flour while stirring. After the butter and flour mixture have combined, add in the chicken stock - whisking until smooth. Done. You've just made a white sauce! Turn off the heat and let it sit until the chicken and vegetables have finished roasting. If it gets to thick, just whisk in more chicken stock or milk.
Remove the chicken from the bone and cut it into 1 inch cubes. Add the peas, chicken and roasted vegetables into the white sauce.
Put the mixture into individual oven safe bowls.
Top the bowls with squares of puff pastry. Sprinkle Salt & Pepper on top. Place the bowls on a baking sheet and bake them for 10 minutes at 425, or until puff pastry has puffed and browned.

I've been struggling with solidifying the color palette for our home... I am naturally drawn to neutrals, soft blues, greys, creams, whites, etc., but I want to create a warmer feeling than the breezy colors these lend themselves to.
While on our trip to DC last spring, I remember being so struck by the beautifully composed paintings in The Capital. Very regal seaming, yet filled with my favorite hues. This morning I came across these images and I think I've finally found my inspiration... again.
Some more paintings that are inspiring my color palette :

Home | Magnolia Leaf Wreath
Yesterday afternoon, I finally found some time to have some 'fun' around the house... and by 'fun' I mean start some projects. My first project was this Magnolia Leaf Wreath. I have always loved Magnolia leaves - the rustic matte finish on the back and the glossy deep green contrast on the front. I'm beyond thrilled that I finally have my very own Magnolia Tree in my back yard. No more 'borrowing' leaves from the neighbors!
The total cost of this project was $0. I have had this twig wreath form for years... might have originally cost $2.
I plan on using a lot of magnolia leaves in my Holiday decorating - I'm thinking a thick garland swag on my mantle... any other ideas?!
BTW : I was inspired to create this when I saw a similar version at Target... for $35. What?! And the leaves were silk. Yuck.

Recipes : Entertaining : Simple Lobster Grill
Sometimes on the weekends, we're in the mood for something special, but aren't in the mood to get all dressed up and spend $100+ on dinner out. So, last weekend, we treated ourselves to a $25 lobster dinner at home.
Menu :
4 - 3 ounce Lobster Tails (for $15)
2 ears of Corn, buttered
Fresh Salad with Lemon Vinaigrette
Boiled Red Potaotes
I grilled the lobster and the corn for about 5 minutes and boiled the potatoes in water for 8 minutes. To make the lobster extra special, I served it with lemon butter that I made by melting butter in the microwave with a slice of lemon in it. So simple.
Salad with Lemon Vinaigrette :
1/3 Cup of White Wine Vinegar
2 Cloves of Garlic, Minced
1 Lemon, juiced
2 Teaspoon of Salt
2 Teaspoon of Pepper
Combine all of the ingredients in a jar and shake. Store in the refrigerator.

Recipes | Homemade Garlic Croutons
Mike's not a fan of salads, so I'm always trying of ways to sway him. These homemade garlic croutons might have done it!
Garlic Croutons :
3 Cups of Cubed French Bread
2 Tablespoons Butter
2 Tablespoons of Olive Oil
3 Cloves of Garlic
In a saucepan, heat the oil, butter and cook the garlic to flavor the oil and butter. Remove the cloves after a couple of minutes.
Toast the bread cubes, tossing constantly. It will take about 5 minutes for them to brown and get crunchy.

Entertaining : Easy Hors D'oeuvres Party
Last week, I created this easy Hors D'oeuvres Party. We wanted the food to seem effortless and casual, yet special. We combined both passed hors d'oeuvres and a bountiful food display. Here's the menu :
Food Display :
Crudites Platter with Green Goddess Basil Dressing
Gourmet Cheese & Berry Platter with Homemade Parmesan Biscuits
Watermelon & Tomato Kebabs with Balsamic
Mini BLT's
Petite Grilled Salmon Sliders with Lemon Caper Aioli
Shrimp & Avocado Sliders
Goat Cheese & Caramelized Onion Puff Pastry Tarts
Passed :
Mini Crab Cake with Red Pepper Aioli
The food display was on the screened in family room. Everything on the table could be served at room temperature, which is essential!
I created these little signs - aren't they cute! I just printed them and hot glued a wooden skewer to the back.
I used piles of berries, and lemon leaves to make the cheese really pop. The parmesan cheese biscuits are super easy to make - they are like homemade cheezits!
These little Salmon Sliders with Lemon Caper Aioli were a big hit. I baked a whole side of salmon with a teryaki glaze over it for 20 minutes at 425 degrees, then placed pieces on the sesame rolls. For the aioli, I started with regular mayo and added a squeeze of fresh lemon, capers, salt & pepper. Simple.
I sliced Pepperage Farms French Loaves to get this mini sandwich bread look.
Mini Cupcakes are always popular. I did vanilla bean, lemon cream and chocolate. I love these stone cake platters.
On the way out the door, guests took individually wrapped blueberry muffins for breakfast in the morning.

Entertaining | Steak Frites | Truffle Fries
Last night, we had some friends over for dinner and I experimented with one of my 'restaurant' favorites - Truffle Fries. I'm proud to say that I think they were a hit! I found the truffle oil at the Brookside Market - the entire bottle was only $10... which I thought was pretty good considering it will last a long time and add so much to any simple dinner. We served them with seared steaks - the classic French dinner, Steak Frites.
**This photo came from this site. I didn't want to take away from my party by taking too many photos.
4 baking potatoes
3 cups of vegetable oil
3 tablespoons of truffle oil
Sea Salt
I cut the potatoes in large matchsticks (leaving the peel on for a rustic look) then placed them in cold water. In a large pot, I heated the vegetable oil and fried the potatoes in 3 batches for about 6 minutes each. When they came out of the oil, I drizzled them with the truffle oil and plenty of salt.

A Kona fisherman has retrieved what could be the sixth confirmed item of Japan tsunami marine debris in Hawaii.
Yesterday afternoon, Randy Llanes, Kona captain of the fishing vessel Sundowner, brought to Honokohau small boat harbor, a 24-foot Japanese net boat with a deep "V" bow that was found floating about 4 miles out at sea. Other vessels reportedly had been fishing around it that morning, since fish are attracted to the marine growth and the protection a boat provides.
Llanes contacted the Department of Land and Natural Resources' (DLNR) marine debris call-in line at (808) 587-0400 and kept in touch with Hawaii District Boating Manager, Nancy Murphy, to coordinate his arrival Tuesday afternoon at Honokohau.
DLNR immediately notified the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Marine Debris Program and kept the program informed at all times. NOAA in turn notified its U.S. Coast Guard and National Parks Service contacts. The state Department of Health has been contacted regarding a testing for radiation levels.
While still at sea, Llanes spoke by phone with DLNR's aquatic invasive species specialist, Jonathan Blodgett, who determined that Llanes had already scraped off blue mussels, an alien species in Hawaii, well out at sea, leaving only typical gooseneck barnacles that are common pelagic species and not harmful to native marine species.
Llanes told DLNR officials the skiff appeared identical to the four other small boats that have arrived in Hawaii waters since October 2012. He said he found it upside down and flipped it over.
As was done with the other four boats, NOAA will work with the Consulate General of Japan in Honolulu and Government of Japan on determination of the vessel's origin and owner, if possible.
"On behalf of NOAA and the State of Hawaii, we ask that anyone who finds personal items, which may have come from the tsunami, to please report them to county, state and/or federal officials," said William J. Aila, Jr., DLNR chairperson. "Please show aloha and respect to the people of Japan, and the regions that suffered devastation from the 2011 tsunami. Remember, these items may be all someone has left."
By being able to communicate with this boater in advance of his arrival, DLNR was able to quickly provide important guidance to prevent introduction of possible invasive marine species to island waters, and to ensure the skiff was met on arrival and properly handled and stored pending ownership verification.
DLNR recommends that boaters, fishers and coastal users view online guidelines for reporting and handling marine debris, including possible Japan tsunami marine debris (JTMD). They can be found on DLNR's updated website at www.hawaii.gov/dlnr.

SACRAMENTO — The state Senate has approved legislation that would allow another 15,000 fuel-efficient vehicles to use California's carpool lanes, even when they have only one occupant.
AB2013 by Democratic Assemblyman Al Muratsuchi of Torrance expands the number of "green HOV" permits to 70,000 from the current 55,000.
The stickers generally apply to hybrid plug-in vehicles such as the Toyota Prius, Chevrolet Volt and Cadillac ELR.
The legislation passed the Senate on a 25-6 vote Tuesday, but Republican Sen. Joel Anderson of Alpine says it was a giveaway to wealthy people who can afford expensive vehicles.
Kelly Blue Book, for example, lists the base price of the Cadillac ELR as nearly $73,000.
Anderson says the special permit is an insult to average taxpayers. The legislation now goes to Gov. Jerry Brown.

The colour and vitality of Inuvik will take you by surprise. You'll see paved streets lined with brightly coloured houses on pilings, dome-shaped buildings and the strange snake-like "utilidor" system. In the summer the town hums with activity. Tourists walk the streets and air charter and construction companies take advantage of the continuous daylight. A planned community, Inuvik offers the comforts of urban living in an arctic setting. Visitors can experience several cultures here, and true frontier hospitality.
Inuvik is situated on the East Channel of the Mackenzie Delta. At 133-43' west longitude, it is 10 degrees farther west than Victoria, British Columbia. The community is within the taiga forest, just south of the tree line and west of the open tundra. The Arctic Ocean is only 97 kilometres north and the Arctic Circle is 200 kilometres to the south.
With the summer's 24-hour sunlight, there is plenty of time for visitors to experience the vast wilderness at Inuvik's doorstep. Winter is the time for "noon moon" activities such as driving on ice roads, snowmobiling, dog sledding and curling. The Inuvik area is a snowmobiler's heaven, with 10,000 kilometres of Mackenzie Delta Channels to explore, as well as tundra trails north to the Beaufort Sea coast and west into the Richardson Mountains.
The aurora borealis ("northern lights") can be seen during the dark months. Locals say that Inuvik is so far north that they have to look south to see the northern lights!
Some residents earn their living hunting, trapping and fishing, but most are employed in government and aboriginal offices or in transportation, construction, petroleum exploration and tourism companies.
Inuvik was conceived by the Canadian government in 1953. It was intended to replace the hamlet of Aklavik in the Mackenzie Delta, which was subject to flooding and offered limited space for expansion.
Originally the community was designated "East Three" by the survey parties who spread over the Mackenzie Delta searching for town site locations. Of six sites on the west side and six on the east side, East Three was chosen for its large flat area, navigable waterway, tree cover and gravel supply.
The community was first named "New Aklavik" to reflect the transfer of facilities from Aklavik. This caused confusion for the delivery of mail and supplies, so the name "Inuvik" was selected in 1958. In Inuvialuktun it means "place of people."
The years 1964 to 1970 were a period of adjustment as residents adapted to life in the new community. In April, 1967, Inuvik achieved village status, and in January 1970 it became a town with an elected mayor and council. And with completion of the Dempster Highway in 1979, Inuvik became part of the Canadian highway system.
Petroleum exploration in the Mackenzie Valley and Beaufort Sea provided tremendous employment and business opportunities in the region beginning in 1971. These activities continued until 1990 when petroleum companies decided to pull out because of disappearing government subsidies, low gas and oil prices, and local resistance to resource development. Since 1999, oil and gas companies have once again begun to explore for natural gas.
During the time that multi-national corporations were busy tapping petroleum resources in the Mackenzie Delta, aboriginal organizations were gaining the leverage they needed to settle their land claims with the Canadian Government. The Inuvialuit claim was settled in 1984 and the Gwich'in claim in 1992. Inuvik is home to members and organizations of both groups.
Today, Inuvik is the administrative and commercial centre for Western Arctic and is Canada's largest community north of the Arctic Circle. The town's population peaked at 4,200 in 1990 at the end of the exploration boom, and now is at about 3,450.

Repairman seeks to return unknown family photos found on computer
Computer brought in for repair when photos discovered
A Daytona Beach man who repairs computers has one he thinks is really special.
John Moore restored a computer and found thousands of family photographs, but of whom, he doesn't know.
Moore brought the computer to WESH 2 News because he said he'd like to get it back to the owners because they're missing a lot.
Moore said he got the computer from someone who said he bought it for $20 at an Orlando-area flea market.
It is not know how the computer made its way to the flea market, but after what Moore saw he wants them to have it again.
"This is irreplaceable," said Moore. "This is too many pictures. It's all of them. They put everything on it."
One of countless pictures of a family Moore recovered when he got this computer up and running recently is of a baby that is most likely older.
"All of a sudden you look at this and say 'That's too much too lose. That's too valuable. That's your history,'" said Moore.
There are dozens of pictures of Jennifer's wedding on a beach somewhere.
In other pictures, a child named Mason is celebrating his birthday, someone was at the Daytona500 in 2011 and Bike Week that same year.
The family also visited Orlando's Holy Land experience.
Moore is a retired police officer who knows items like this of unknown origin are eventually auctioned off.
"(I) hope that someone will recognize the people in there and say, 'I know them. This is yours, so we can say here's your history back,'" Moore said.
Anyone who recognizes anyone on the computer is asked to contact WESH 2, and Moore will give it back. at no charge.

Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 37 diseños de 10 diseñadores freelance.
Think Smart
Think Smart is both a building group and an energy management consultancy. We are rebuilding our web presence in Concrete5, and would like to present details and photographs of our past and current projects on a clean modern site.
From the CEO:
"The company is very hands on, very personal, very attention- hands on driven, progressive, urban but far more apple than PC … hip, cool, current but classic …"
"I want an icon that reflects who we are … Smart means economical, communicative, good faith, good intentions , energy efficient …"
Both commercial and upscale residential owners who are interested in either updating their property with the latest in stylish high-end interiors or energy management.
The character limit on the requirement section is too low so I have placed our design ideas below.
We are looking for a somewhat minimal, clean, bright, young and professional design. Think, "more Apple than PC".
One design we quite like is http://greenhouseintl.com minus the leafy background. We like the design, look and feel of this site because it moves away from the corporate boxy look of many construction companies and more towards rounded corners on the nav, gradients, (perhaps shadows/reflections?) and minimalism. While the leafy background is too much, the site maintains cohesion with a single theme (the leaf) which persists in their navigation and icon set. We like the division of elements with whitespace, simple lines, very light backgrounded divs and difference of text-weight.
In icons, we would like similarly styled vector-based icons. The "leaf" is too overt, we would like to see a consistency in the icons which we can associate with the logo and ThinkSmart Construction and Energy.
Color palette:
The colors are white background with navy blue and steel gray.
See http://www.adncg.net and apple.com for examples.

The Flick: Controlling tennis parents on display in 'Hard, Fast and Beautiful'
In honor of this weekend's Academy Awards, The Flick is a new series of reviews looking back at the good, the bad and the ugly in tennis-related cinema. This first edition looks at Ida Lupino's 1951 film, "Hard, Fast and Beautiful."
Screencap from Netflix.
"From the very moment you were born i knew you were different. I could see things in you that no one else could and I knew that somehow I was going to get the very best there was out of life for you. Listening to you drive that ball against the garage door used to drive me crazy. That's because I always wanted something better for you. And I made my mind up to get it no matter what I had to do."
And thus begins the story of young tennis prodigy Florence Farley, a small-town girl from Santa Monica, Calif., (if such a thing exists), who had never been on a plane or east of the San Bernardino Mountains before a chance encounter ushered her into big-time amateur tennis. Driven by an opportunistic and manipulative mother who sees her daughter as her ticket into the high-class life she believes she's entitled to and surrounded by benefactors and agents who see her as nothing more than a cash cow, "Hard, Fast and Beautiful" is the classic story of an overly controlling stage parent who uses the "good parent" guise to mask her selfish ambitions.
Federer on Pistorius: A story we've never seen
Screengrab from Netflix
In other words, it's a tennis tale as old as time.
It's a rare 1950s film written, directed and starring women. Lupino, a poor man's Bette Davis, was one of the first women to transition to a seat behind the camera, the second woman to be admitted to the Director's Guild of America. The screenplay was written by Martha Wilkerson and starred Sally Forrest as Farley, a perfect cross between a young Keri Russell and Katherine Hepburn, and Claire Trevor as her mother, Millie, a wonderful performance as a woman genuinely convinced that her selfish behavior is equivalent to doing the best by her daughter.
"My daughter is going to have everything that I missed," Millie tells her husband, the grounded but powerless patriarch of the Farley family. "She's going to go places. Maybe after today she won't even have to play on those public courts." Richard Williams scoffs in your general direction, Mrs. Farley.
NGUYEN: Sock re-emerges with Memphis run
It's an enjoyable if not predictable watch. If you're a tennis fan you'll recognize the behavior of modern starlets and the nightmare parents attached at their hips (and wallet), all of whom picked up a racket years after young Florence, who rebels against her mother by coming home at 4 a.m. drunk and reeking of smoke. Teenage rebellion hasn't changed much over the years.
Perhaps the most revealing and interesting aspect of "Hard, Fast and Beautiful" is the focus on the tension between amateur and professional tennis. In the pre-Open Era, amateurs were considered the pure form of player. The disgust and disdain with which the characters treated the idea of playing tennis for money is jarring to hear now. You'd think professional tennis players were engaged in the world's oldest profession the way it gets spit on in this film.
Screengrab from Netflix
When Florence wins a $50 bet by winning a friendly match against a benefactor, her boyfriend, Gordon, flips out and practically implies the money was left on a nightstand. "If you want to play tennis for money than get on the level about it," he yells at her. And when she finally learns that her mother has funded their European tour by taking monetary advances, their relationship is irreparably damaged. "Beating my brains out on the tennis court while you were playing it dirty for money," Florence seethes. Oh, how times have changed.
Ten moments when sports crossed with Oscars
The actual tennis scenes are substantial and fun. To be honest I really didn't know whether Florence would win her matches or not, so credit to the writer for creating a story that really could have gone anywhere while still making its point. There was a commitment to showing the tennis as a sport and not just a hit-and-giggle for girls in the park. I appreciated that Florence was shown sweating as she played, that she didn't swing the racket like a ballerina. They may not have actually filmed the U.S. Open scenes at Forrest Hills or Wimbledon at the All England Club, but the points were protracted (thanks to some creative editing). There were well-placed low-angle shots to show the chalk kick up when the ball hit a line. Considering films were edited manually back then, the tennis scenes were cut quite meticulously with wide shots, close-ups and action shots spliced together.
Screengrab from Netflix
I enjoyed the old tennis clips so much I actually found myself invested in the quality of play. One of the character details that never really panned out into a substantive plot point was that Florence had no backhand. Her boyfriend chalked it up to her spending years hitting her forehand against a garage door. Her agent mentioned how horrible it was, too. So why in the world are her opponents constantly hitting to her forehand, I caught myself yelling at the screen. No wonder she won the U.S. Open and Wimbledon in her first appearances. Everyone else was tactically deficient!
The film begins and ends with a shot of an empty stadium. Florence hands over a trophy to her mother. "This is yours," she tells mom. "You've earned it." Millie looks on in anguish when she sees the agent with whom she worked moved to another prodigy. The film ends with her sitting in the stands in the dark, clutching that trophy, as trash blows like tumbleweeds. Heavy-handed symbolism? Sure. But also a reminder that while the game of tennis has changed over the years, the people haven't.
"Hard, Fast, and Beautiful" is currently streaming on Netflix and Amazon Prime.

A flaw was discovered in the vhost-net subsystem of the Linux kernel. Guest OS users could exploit this flaw to cause a denial of service (host OS crash). (CVE-2014-0055)
Sasha Levin reported a bug in the Linux kernel's virtual memory management subsystem. An unprivileged local user could exploit this flaw to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2014-3122)
Update instructions
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions:
- Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
- linux-image-3.2.0-1449-omap4 - 3.2.0-1449.68
To update your system, please follow these instructions: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Security/Upgrades.
After a standard system update you need to reboot your computer to make all the necessary changes.
ATTENTION: Due to an unavoidable ABI change the kernel updates have been given a new version number, which requires you to recompile and reinstall all third party kernel modules you might have installed. If you use linux-restricted-modules, you have to update that package as well to get modules which work with the new kernel version. Unless you manually uninstalled the standard kernel metapackages (e.g. linux-generic, linux-server, linux-powerpc), a standard system upgrade will automatically perform this as well.

New from R.B. Bernstein (New York Law School) is "The Constitution as Exploding Cigar and Other 'Historian's Heresies' About a Constitutional Orthodoxy," published in the New York Law School Law Review 55, no. 4 (2010/11). It is a revised, expanded, and annotated version of a lecture that he has given in various forms (including the one we mentioned here).
According to the intro, Bernstein (1) "addresses the contextual frameworks, both intellectual and technological, that shape our interpretations of the Constitution"; (2) "discuss[es] the 'Absent Founders,' individuals who are relevant to the Constitution's origins but are often overlooked in the search for original intent" (e.g., Aaron Burr); (3) "explore[s] the consequence for originalism of rapid constitutional change during the Revolutionary Era"; and (4) "explain[s] how" various "problems in how the Constitution operated[] caused the Founders' expectations, understandings, and intentions to blow up in their faces." A final section "offer[s] some tentative conclusions about the consequences of these historian's heresies for the enterprise of constitutional interpretation."

Maybe this is my favorite chicken because I don't make it. My love makes it. And oh, there is something special about the days when you don't cook nor clean and someone does it for you.
It's a deep act of love, I think. And even if it was made because he was starving (I wasn't all that hungry tonight.. LOL), I will believe it was a deep act of love. It makes me smile. LOL
My love is called the "Iron Chef" by my family because of the delicious dishes he creates with ease. It's almost as though the herbs and spices sing to him and he knows their blends without worry. I, the one who loves to be in the kitchen and creating, am less sure of my flavor combinations and sometimes less creative on the fly. I appreciate his creativity and willingness to blend, balance, and coax the best flavors out of whatever we have in the kitchen. Hmm. That makes me wonder if we should create a new house rule: HE cooks BEFORE grocery shopping and I cook AFTER. 😉 I'll be sure ot have my ingredients and he is talented with whatever we have on hand. Oh… I think it's a good plan!
Something tells me he may not think his side of the bargain is so shiny, huh?
Oh well. At least I had my favorite chicken tonight!
The best part about this recipe is that he always makes extras so I have some for lunch the next day. Now that I'm back at work, that's music to my ears. I don't have as much play time in the kitchen and have lesson planning, etc at night. So, it's lovely when dinner does double duty. 😉
My Favorite Chicken
3 chicken breasts
1/3 cup fresh basil leaves
4 cloves of garlic, crushed under the blade of a knife and finely chopped
4 1/2 Tablespoons of butter, in 1/2 tablespoon pieces
+2 Tablespoons of butter (for pan)
salt and pepper to flavor/season
sake (maybe 1 cup?)
- Rinse and pat dry each chicken breast.
- Slice the breast open lengthwise but don't split it. You are making a pocket or butterflied-breast that is still connected on one side.
- Into each breast pocket or on top of one side of the butterflied chicken breast, lay 1 1/2 Tablespoons of butter, 1/3 of the garlic, and 1/3 of the basil leaves. Close the breast pocket or fold over the attached side.
- Heat an oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Melt 2 Tablespoons of butter until frothy/foamy.
- Preheat oven to 425F
- Add chicken breasts to hot pan. Let sizzle and brown (3-4 minutes depending on thickness of breast).
- Carefully flip each breast over. (Be careful not to open the "pocket" or have the butter/garlic/basil fall out.)
- Brown new side for 3 minutes then add 1 cup of sake to pan.
- Put chicken in to oven to finish cooking. (5-6 minutes + depending on thickness of chicken breasts.)
- Spoon some of the pan juices over the chicken after plating. Serve with oven-broiled sweet peppers and cauliflower.

A woman whose dog swallowed a fish hook embedded in a piece of meat says she cannot fathom how a person could act so cruelly.
Trish Langford, who runs a pet care business, was taking her dogs Lucy and Mr Pip for their daily walk at Newport Lakes Park just before 8am on Saturday when Lucy, gobbled down the deliberately baited hook.
Although she saw the five-year-old retriever eat something, the Kingsville resident wasn't worried until another dog owner showed her a piece of fish-hook baited meat and other hooks strewn nearby.
"The meat was about an inch across with the 10mm fish hook clearly embedded on purpose," she said.
An x-ray taken at a local vet clinic clearly revealed the swallowed fish hook.
After an hour of unsuccessful probing at a specialist vet clinic in Kensington a surgeon was called to extract the hook.
The surgery cost more than $3000 and left a confused Lucy miserable and in pain, but Ms Langford is simply relieved her beloved dog appears likely to recover.
"She is lucky because if the hooks hadn't been pointed out to me and we hadn't gone to the vet it would be lodged in her bowel and that would really be trouble," she said.
Police have stepped up round-the-clock patrols of the area in response to multiple reports of baited meat at the site.
Senior constable Paul Davis said the culprit appears to be deliberately targeting dogs.
"It's a well known dog park and the areas where these pieces of meat were found were near [water] bowls for dogs," he said.
"It's obviously preying on a vulnerable creature and that's why we are taking it very seriously."
Sen Cons Davis cautioned against panic but urges dog owners to remain alert.
Hobsons Bay Council has erected signs in the area warning people about the baiting.
Ms Langford urged dog owners to consider muzzling their dogs rather than being put off visiting the park.
"I think we should keep using the park because if their motivation is keeping dogs out of the area they shouldn't be allowed to succeed."
Anyone who witnessed anything suspicious in the area is urged to call Crime Stoppers on 18000 333 000.

Hi There
Hi, I'm Miki Johnson, a cofounder of Job Portraits. In my work helping companies communicate and strengthen their work culture, I bring these overarching skills to the table:
Editor: Since my first magazine editing class in college, I have come to see "editing" as a stand-in for the way I relate to the world in general. It is a process of absorbing wide-ranging information, locating it in a larger landscape, then synthesizing and distilling the vital nuggets. Finally we wrap them up in a compelling story, one that helps the information zing straight into the the viewer/reader/listener's heart and mind.
Anthropologist: I don't have an anthropology degree (considered it, along with sociology, but stuck with journalism). Still, I am an observer at my core. At the zoo, I find myself watching the people more than the animals. Our lives are a fascinating web of relationships built around unspoken rules and unconscious needs. Transformation only happens when we understand ourselves, so I love making those invisibles, visible, the unconscious, conscious.
Asker of questions: People talk a lot about being "problem solvers." I'll leave them to it. I prefer to ask the right questions, to help people realize they already know how to solve their own problem. Then I'm there as their accountabili-buddy to help them see it through, so we can all enjoy that sweetest feeling: a sense of accomplishment.
Skills: Editing, writing, storytelling, community building, coaching, facilitation, mediation, process.
Methods: Interviews, empathetic communication, peer mentorship, honesty, awesomeness.
Life goal: Enable and encourage everyone to improve their lives by taking healthy risks.

Senior diver Nick McCrory is headed to Austin, Texas for the USA Diving Winter National Championships, scheduled for Dec. 17-22 at the University of Texas' Lee and Joe Jamail Texas Swimming Center.
McCrory will compete in the men's 3-meter springboard event beginning with the preliminaries Wednesday, Dec. 18. The semifinals will also take place Wednesday, while the 3-meter final is slated for Saturday, Dec. 21 in Austin.
The ACC's top performer in 1-meter, 3-meter and platform diving this season, McCrory has garnered ACC Male Diver of the Week accolades on three occasions, most recently after sweeping the three disciplines last month at the 2013 Janis Hape Dowd Nike Cup. The Chapel Hill, N.C., native and three-time NCAA platform diving champion has posted season-best scores of 446.5 on the 1-meter board, 477.65 at the 3-meter height and 460.3 on the platform to surpass the NCAA Zone Diving Championships standards in all three events. He was recognized in Sports Illustrated's 'Faces in the Crowd' in the Nov. 18 issue after breaking pool records on the 1-meter and 3-meter boards in his 2013-14 debut at UNC Wilmington.

First ingredient is a named meat product
Insufficient meat content, some low quality and controversial fillers
This product is a veterinary diet, but is not indicated for the treatment of any disease. Rather, it is just another puppy food and our comments are given on equal footing to any other comparable product with or without a 'veterinary diet' label.
The first ingredient in the food is a named meat product, in meal form. It is the sole meat ingredient in the food.
The main grains in the food are riceand wheat. Rice is a decent quality grain, but the use of wheat is a negative. Wheat is believed by many to be the number one cause of food allegies in dogs. In gluten form, this ingredient is a low quality filler. It is the dried residue from wheat after the removal of the larger part of the starch and germ, and the separation of the bran by the process employed in the wet milling manufacture, or by enzymatic treatment of the endosperm. In plain English, that bit of the grain leftover after most of the nutritious bits have been removed.
Chicken fat is the fourth ingredient. We note that research at Purdue university has identified fat in the top four ingredients of dry food as a factor increasing the risk of bloat in large breed dogs. Smaller breeds are untested.
Beet pulp is controversial filler which appears to be used in large quantities in this food. It is a by-product, being dried residue from sugar beets which has been cleaned and extracted in the process of manufacturing sugar. It is a controversial ingredient in dog food, claimed by some manufacturers to be a good source of fibre, and derided by others as an ingredient added to slow down the transition of rancid animal fats and causing stress to kidney and liver in the process. We note that beet pulp is an ingredient that commonly causes problems for dogs, including allergies and ear infections, and prefer not to see it used in dog food. There are less controversial products around if additional fibre is required. Tomato pomace and the husks of pysllium seeds are further fillers.

More than $4,500 worth of headphones taken from Apple Store
Suspect admitted thefts to police
MADISON, Wis. — Madison police said a Sun Prairie man admitted to taking nine to 10 headphones worth a total of more than $4,500 from a Madison Apple Store over numerous months.
Davonte V. Marshall, 20, told police he was reselling the headphones for about $80. The two headphones police said he was trying to steal Friday retail for $399.95 and $699.90.
Police said Marshall was detained by a loss prevention officer at the Apple Store at West Towne Mall. The officer told police Marshall had been taking headphones from the store since July and was taking a pair or two at a time.
Marshall was arrested on suspicion of retail theft, bail jumping, habitual criminality and on a warrant.

janetk brauchte ein neues Anderes Design und hat einen Wettbewerb auf 99designs gestartet.
Aus 157 Designs von 23 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
Two public schools are combining their sports programs. One school team name was orignally the Warriors, with a Warrior head as the mascot, and the other team name was originally the Cardinals, with a Cardinal (the bird) head as the mascot. The new mascot is going to be the Warbirds.
We need a new logo depicting the Warbirds. This logo will be used on team uniforms, sweatshirts, Tshirts, hats, and other clothing. All options are open, and the interpretation of the name Warbirds is open. It can be an airplane, a fierce bird, or anything that can be used as a mascot, although it will never be made into a mascot costume.
- Item 1...The new colors for the Warbirds are black and vegas gold (a yellowish gold). The new logo / mascot needs to use these two colors, but is not limited to these two colors. The new logo / mascot needs to be simple enough to show up nicely on a hat or as a pocket logo on a shirt, but detailed enough to look nice as a large logo on the back of a sweatshirt, or front of a Tshirt.
- Item 1...The number of colors used should be limited to four, as more than that would get too expensive to reproduce.
- The previous logos, the Warrior head, and the Cardinal head, cannot be used.
