Made by Mouses necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 185 diseños de 52 diseñadores freelance.
Dementie Twente
Hello, I'm responsible for the design of the new logo for this Dutch Dementia Care foundation and I'm really charmed of 99designs.com! That's why I'm asking you designers to help me create a beautiful logo for us.
In the region of Twente (a county in the Netherlands) there are 4 projects groups in Dementia Care. These groups work together and decided to create one website with a new logo that will provide all the needed information of dementia and the addresses of the local institutions who can help with any form of dementia.
The audience will be (mostly old) people who have dementia, but also their family and proffesionals
The website will be designed by a local web designer, so we only need a logo
The logo should have a simple, formal and reliable character. Simplicity is a keyword here, with a maximum of 2-3 main color (not the 'shiny' bright colors, but more the 'natural soft' colors). Also an icon may be added to avoid the logo will become too 'boring/formal'
Name: Dementie Twente (Dementia Twente)
We will discuss the designs with our client on this Thursday, but will give feedback everyday.
Looking forward to see the designs!

U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission
Federal Agency Charges Company Required Employees to Participate in Scientology Religious Practices, Fired Two for Refusing to Participate
MIAMI - Dynamic Medical Services, Inc., a Miami company owned by Dr. Dennis Nobbe and which provides medical and chiropractic services, violated federal law by requiring employees to attend courses that involved Scientology religious practices, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) charged in a lawsuit filed today.
According to the EEOC's suit, the company required Norma Rodriguez, Maykel Ruz, Rommy Sanchez, Yanileydis Capote and other employees to spend at least half their work days in courses that involved Scientology religious practices, such as screaming at ashtrays or staring at someone for eight hours without moving. The company also instructed employees to attend courses at the Church of Scientology. Additionally, the company required Sanchez to undergo an "audit" by connecting herself to an "E-meter," which Scientologists believe is a religious artifact, and required her to undergo "purification" treatment at the Church of Scientology. According to the EEOC's suit, employees repeatedly asked not to attend the courses but were told it was a requirement of the job. In the cases of Rodriguez and Sanchez, when they refused to participate in Scientology religious practices and/or did not conform to Scientology religious beliefs, they were terminated.
Requiring employees to conform to religious practices and beliefs espoused by the employer, creating a hostile work environment, and failing to reasonably accommodate the religious beliefs of an employee all violate Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The EEOC filed suit in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida after first attempting to reach a pre-litigation settlement through its conciliation process. The lawsuit, EEOC v. Dynamic Medical Services, Inc., (Case No. 1:13-cv-21666), seeks back pay for Rodriguez and Sanchez, compensatory and punitive damages for all named claimants and a class of individuals subjected to a hostile work environment and disparate treatment, and injunctive relief ordering the company to stop requiring employee participation in courses involving religious practices, among other types of injunctive relief.
"Employees' freedom from religious coercion at the workplace must be protected," said Robert Weisberg, regional attorney for the EEOC's Miami District Office. "These actions are a shameful violation of federal law."
The EEOC's Miami District director, Malcolm Medley, said, "When an employer makes an employment decision based on employees' failure to adopt the employer's religious beliefs, it violates federal law. The EEOC will act vigorously to protect the rights of workers who are subjected to religious harassment and coercion in the workplace."
The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. The Miami District Office's jurisdiction includes Florida, Puerto Rico and U.S. Virgin Islands. Further information about the EEOC is available on the agency's website at www.eeoc.gov.

DETROIT (AP) — The left cleat of Detroit Lions defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh connected with Houston Texans quarterback Matt Schaub in his groin area in their Thanksgiving game.
It wasn't clear on replays Thursday whether it was intentional.
"I really don't have anything to say about that play or that person," Schaub said.
Suh was on his chest, taken down by an offensive lineman, when he extended his left foot below Schaub's belt. Suh didn't talk to reporters after the game.
Last year on Thanksgiving, Suh was ejected for stomping on the right arm of Green Bay offensive lineman Evan Dietrich-Smith and was suspended for two games.
Suh has been fined in previous seasons for roughing up quarterbacks: Cincinnati's Andy Dalton, Chicago's Jay Cutler and Cleveland's Jake Delhomme.

I would like to propose that https://stackoverflow.com/q/866499/41661 be undeleted.
I have two arguments for undeleting this question:
I believe that the high voted answers contain information that is valuable for programmers, especially young programmers, to know. (I know that because of the way the question is titled, it is likely that many people who might benefit from the information will nevertheless not see it. But that's an argument for improving the question, not deleting it.)
In late February and early March 2012, new algorithms made it clear for the first time that many old questions were being deleted, apparently by moderators. I believe that this string of deletions damages the community, and that old questions which have survived for a long time and continue to draw pageviews and upvotes should be preserved, even if such questions would be considered wildly inappropriate if asked today.
I believe that the continuing activity on is programming a younger person's job shows its value to the community---although based on my observations of other old questions which have been migrated from Stack Overflow to Programmers, it may be that the appropriate community today is Programmers.
UPDATE: to repeat what I said in a comment, I am asking that this question be undeleted because I believe that its deletion does not show respect for the community's opinion of the question (as measured by the votes for the question and its answers) and that these kind of deletions reduce the incentive for people, especially old-timers, to contribute to Stack Overflow. The question is not wildly meritorious, but I see it as a test case for the recent spate of moderator deletions, which I oppose.
On the question of reputation, I am agnostic. If somebody decided that old questions which don't meet new standards shouldn't contribute to users' reputations, I could live with that. The questions and answers could all be made Community Wiki retroactively; that's probably another discussion. But I don't want to lose our history.

PORTSMOUTH — A squeaky wheel has muffled the Salvation Army's bells.
PORTSMOUTH — A squeaky wheel has muffled the Salvation Army's bells.
One day after Sarah Hamilton-Parker called police to complain about noise from the bells near the downtown store where she works, Salvation Army Capt. Deb Coolidge said the local charitable organization will find a quieter "jingle bell." Also, said Coolidge, she noticed in a Herald photo that a pair of people was ringing Salvation Army bells in the downtown Tuesday and that henceforth, local ringers will be limited to one.
"I certainly appreciate that," said Hamilton-Parker when given the news. "Anything they can do to knock down that sound."
Coolidge said she was visited Wednesday morning by crews from two television stations wanting to cover the story, while Hamilton-Parker said she was called by a pair of other news outlets.
Hamilton-Parker said she's complained to the Salvation Army each year for the past four years to ask that the bell ringers move across the street to the front of the North Church. She said the incessant ringing has prompted her to wear earplugs and it's "unfair" that the ringing should be limited to just one area of the business district.
Coolidge said Wednesday she's permitted by the city to have ringers only in that one Market Square location where the annual Christmas tree is erected. "We apply for a permit and that's where they put us," she said.
Hamilton-Parker said she also tried to convince the Salvation Army that its bell ringers would be better located in front of a coffee shop, for example, where people conduct cash business, instead of in front of jewelry stores where people typically make credit card purchases. Coolidge said the organization has found traffic to be better at that location.
"It's our biggest fundraiser of the year," she said.
Hamilton-Parker also researched the city's noise ordinance banning excessive noise and said she thinks the fund-raising bell ringers qualify as noise under the ordinance. Police Capt. Mike Schwartz countered that the noise ordinance "doesn't apply" because the city granted permission for the bell-ringing.
Pat James of the Salvation Army's Northern New England Division in Portland, Maine, said Tuesday that the ringers could be given a "dead" non-ringing bell. But instead, Coolidge said she'll look for "a softer bell."
"We will be sensitive," she said. "Hopefully, that will be less stressful for her."
"That's absolutely wonderful," said Hamilton-Parker.
The Salvation Army is a Christian-based charitable organization and its first known fundraiser using a kettle to collect cash was in 1891.

We featured the story of the intrepid Felix Baumgartner and his planned jump from close to outer space back in late August. Now the final countdown for his history making leap from the edge of the stratosphere has been declared as all systems go.
The tentative launch date for Baumgartner's attempt to jump from an altitude of 36,576 metres is now set for October 8, finally ending the agony of waiting. The Austrian extreme sport athlete had to endure delays due to ongoing repairs but is now delighted that the countdown is on for his attempt to become the first person to break the sound barrier in freefall and set four other world records in the process. Zenith Manufacture is one of the main sponsors and sole timekeeper of this extremely dangerous mission.
"I feel like a tiger in a cage waiting to get out." Felix Baumgartner
One of the world's most celebrated B.A.S.E. jumpers and extreme athletes, in 2003 he became the first person to make a freefall flight across the English Channel with the aid of a carbon wing. He will be flying as fast as a speeding bullet during his supersonic journey to Earth.
Aviation pioneer Baumgartner and the Red Bull Stratos team have been preparing for years to eclipse a mark set more than 52 years ago. The capsule, weighing little more than a VW Beetle, was damaged in a hard landing following Baumgartner's final test jump from a near-record altitude of 29,610 meters in July – during the jump Baumgartner was freefalling at speeds of up to 864 kilometres per hour, or as fast as a commercial airliner. The Austrian landed safely in the New Mexico desert.
On September 24, the repaired capsule underwent testing in an altitude chamber at Brooks City-Base in San Antonio, Texas. The capsule was exposed to the extreme conditions it will face in the unforgiving environs of the stratosphere. After passing all the tests, the capsule was sent back to Roswell.
A central aim of the Red Bull Stratos project is to collect valuable data for science that could ultimately help improve the safety of space travel and enable high-altitude escapes from spacecraft. The jump will also attempt to break an assortment of records such as highest speed in freefall, highest jump, highest manned balloon flight and longest freefall.
Thompson is cautiously optimistic about the launch date of October 8, while acknowledging that perfect weather conditions are needed for the delicate 850.000 cubic metre helium balloon, which has 1/10th the thickness of a Ziploc bag. Mission meteorologist Don Day confirmed, "Early fall in New Mexico is one of the best times of the year to launch stratospheric balloons."
Zenith El Primero Stratos Flyback Striking 10th Chronograph
Zenith El Primero Stratos Flyback Striking 10th chronograph
Zenith "trials by fire have included the El Primero that crossed the Atlantic fixed to the landing gear of a Boeing 707 in 1970, on a flight from Paris to New York.
Subjected to drastic changes in temperature, pressure and terrible jolting, it maintained its regular cadence of 36,000 vibrations per hour and required no adjustment, having remained accurate to the nearest second – apart from the inevitable time zone difference.
This mission in the stratosphere will test the reliability and stability of the Zenith El Primero Stratos Chronograph under the most extreme conditions: temperature, low pressure, speed, friction, and impacts.
"We have often been forerunners in unexplored domains and we have accompanied people in there most incredible projects. It is this ability to come up with new ideas, and then push through with new technical developments before anyone else that is most fascinating at Zenith." Zenith CEO Jean-Frédéric Dufour

Story highlights
- Carol Costello's nephew was born with a disability that affects behavior
- She says his school was unable to cope with him and provide proper education
- At times, Anthony was placed in a "chill room" with no notice to parents, she says
- Costello: After parents objected, Anthony transferred to a new school and is thriving
Anthony was a beautiful baby. He looked more like my sister-in-law, Johanna -- not so much like my brother Tony. But Anthony was pale, too, and so very, very tiny.
When I held him for the first time, I wanted to feel joy. He was my first nephew, my family's first grandson. But there was no joy. Anthony was strangely motionless. He was floppy, as if he lacked all muscle tone. He didn't cry. He didn't gurgle. He didn't smile. He was like a living doll -- a 5-pound living doll.
Sadly, my family's situation is not unusual. One in six babies are born with developmental disabilities. A happy moment becomes laced with fear of the unknown. A lifetime of struggles begins.
Anthony's story is a window into what parents face when their child is born with a rare disability, one that taxes society's promise to develop each child to his or her fullest potential. There are 132,000 students in U.S. schools like Anthony, children with "multiple disabilities," a broad category under the federal Individuals with Disabilities Education Act of 1975.
They are a particularly challenging population among the nation's 6.5 million special education students. Anthony certainly -- and through no fault of his own -- would put that system to the test.
Anthony was eventually diagnosed with Prader-Willi Syndrome, a genetic disorder where certain chromosomes have gone missing, leading to behavioral problems and cognitive disabilities. Oddly, the absence of one chromosome meant this limp, undernourished, darling baby would forever be fighting off a blinding appetite that could lead to morbid obesity.
As Anthony grew, Tony and Johanna were forced to put a lock on the refrigerator because Anthony would clean it out. His appetite was wildly out of control and desperation would set in when he was not able to satisfy it. There was nothing inside him telling him when to stop eating, so his parents had to put anything edible out of reach, including soap, shampoo and even garbage.
Sometimes, our Christmas celebrations were suspended. No one could enjoy eating anything while restraining a boy from eating everything. Anthony would bubble with anxiety, then crash into depression.
Still, we hoped Anthony could live a normal life. His awkward smile was endearing. He seemed capable of learning despite the autistic aspects that his Prader syndrome brought to life. He crawled late, but he crawled. He delighted in learning about stars, planets and geography. He insisted on gifts that were appropriate for his chronological age, not his "mental" age.
'Your entire chain will be strengthened'
As soon as Anthony turned 5, Tony and Johanna enrolled him at Green Elementary School in northeast Ohio. Their daughter had gone there, and it is one of the best schools in the state.
We wondered whether Anthony could flourish in a public school, but Johanna was confident.
"If you are capable of dealing with your weakest link, your entire chain will be strengthened and it will benefit everybody," she told us. "Everybody is going to run into problems somewhere and it doesn't have to be a big expense if you do it right." We admired her optimism, her eternal belief that Anthony would blossom, just like any other kid.
Like all parents with special needs kids, my brother's family had the law on their side when it came to getting the best education for their special needs child. The Individuals with Disabilities in Education Act guarantees kids such as Anthony a "free appropriate public education"-- or a "FAPE."
This law guaranteed an educational plan that came with small class sizes, specialty teachers, counselors and a segregated space for some activities.
"Every parent wants the best for their child, but the word 'best' isn't in the law, it says 'appropriate,' which they usually give, but parents want more, they want a happy life," says Paula Goldberg of the PACER center, an advocacy organization for children with disabilities.
In the first few years at school, Anthony learned to read! He counted and knew colors. He couldn't deal with abstract concepts, but he could understand basic information, and he mixed in with his peers. In third grade, Anthony spoke in front of 300 kids at Springfield High School about kids with disabilities. We were so proud. What a fearless boy! Just like his mom and dad.
Regression and weight gain
But, as Anthony grew older, he seemed to be folding into himself. It became difficult to get him to pay attention to what you were saying, so difficult that you'd sometimes give up, exhausted.
Tony and Johanna began to suspect Green Elementary was becoming lax in areas that were critical to keeping Anthony functional. Johanna said she would find candy wrappers in his pockets when teachers weren't supposed to give him food. It wasn't long before his weight ballooned from 140 pounds to 200.
Anthony was clearly stressed, and becoming obsessive-compulsive, flying into a rage if a toy was out of place, unable to cope with changes to his routine, which seemed to happen often at school. He would try to grab food off your plate and exhibited increasing signs of autism, desperately wanting to belong even as his mental processing was way off. That year, in 2009, at school, he bit his aide.
Still, it is required by federal law for teachers to come up with a detailed plan to educate a student like Anthony, no matter how difficult. (Green's administrators have declined to talk about Anthony's case.)
I do know, like many school districts, Green opted to place Anthony in a "chill room." A room separate from the other kids, where Anthony could be alone for an agreed-upon period to settle down until he was able to return to class.
According to National Public Radio's state impact report, public schools in Ohio and Florida regularly sent kids to "seclusion" -- or "locked cell-like" rooms like a tiny room or a closet.
In 2009-2010, Ohio schools sent students to "seclusion rooms" 4,637 times. In more than 60% of the cases, disabled children were those being secluded.
And before 2013, Ohio schools were not required to inform parents or follow any guidelines when they decided to lock a child away for hours at a time.
Anthony finds his voice
The most painful part for those of us who love Anthony was that he could not articulate what happened at school.
But, in ninth grade, Anthony finally found the words. He suddenly shared a story about "the closet." In a halting voice, Anthony described how he was "dragged from place to place" for being bad and spent hours napping in a room the size of glorified walk-closet. My brother, Tony told me, "They got him an egg carton to sit on and a mat to sleep on."
School officials claimed, in court documents, the "chill room" was big enough to house an adult and contained "a mattress pad." They also admitted, on at least two occasions, "He (Anthony) remained in the chill room for an entire afternoon." Teachers also testified "he was never alone," and that sometimes Anthony refused to wake up, forcing them to "roll him," because "he would stay on the pad and refuse to get up."
Instead of finding a way to deal with the problem, though, teachers allowed Anthony to miss class. According to Anthony's parents, they didn't even send home lessons so Anthony could make up the work.
His parents complained to the state.
"They [school officials] honestly did not have the knowledge to help him," says Michelle McGuire, a lawyer hired by Anthony's parents.
"They'd give him a one-to-one teacher in math who would teach about a square root of the hexagon, and he's doing 2nd grade math. ... His main teacher was maybe 5'4" and probably about 130 pounds, really well intentioned, and tried, but absolutely couldn't handle him.
"Not only would he suddenly strip naked, but he would defecate, urinate on the floor, run around and hit and kick and grab his teacher by the hair, then run away, and when they caught up to him, he would hit them and scream and hit and kick some more. They couldn't handle him."
Tony and Johanna yearned to enroll Anthony in a more appropriate school, but schools for kids such as Anthony don't come cheap, and Green Elementary insisted it was trying to care for Anthony.
Caught in a cost crunch
Sheldon Horowitz of the National Center for Learning Disabilities says that cost is often the issue because local and state governments have to fill in for the shortage of federal funding.
"Kids with these issues cost not just money, they cost faculty and faculty time, training time, space and transportation and security, psychological, social and mental health resource. They need a complicated support system because they are complicated," he said.
If schools are unable to provide those things, then parents can demand the public school system pay for private education. However, those local school districts can contest parents' demands because -- you guessed it -- it's cheaper for public schools to provide special education themselves.
Understandable, in Anthony's case, because there are just three schools in the country that are expert at taking care of kids like him. They can cost up to $200,000 per year.
In the end, it was Anthony who forced the issue.
It happened one morning, at home, in the kitchen. Anthony refused to go to school. Not only that, he wanted food. NOW. And, just as he did at school, he flew into a rage, but this time he grabbed steak knives from the drawer. Tony and Johanna called the police.
"At first they (the police) wanted to use a stun gun on Anthony," Johanna remembers. "I just wanted them to help us restrain Anthony until we could figure out what to do."
She shielded her son from the officer's Taser until my brother called an ambulance. Anthony ultimately ended up at the Children's Center of Pittsburgh for six weeks.
At that point, Anthony's parents turned to the state of Ohio, seeking a way for Anthony to get a better education.
It took an expensive lawyer and months of testimony, but they settled their case. An impartial hearing officer did find that the school had not afforded Anthony a free, appropriate public education, but other than that, I can't tell you details, because the terms do not allow for public disclosure.
I do know Anthony now attends the Latham Centers in Cape Cod. There are 40 students there just like Anthony. He likes them. His teachers understand his disabilities. Some of them have 30 years' experience with Prader-Willi kids and embrace any available training.
Anthony is of normal weight, no longer has violent outbursts and has his frustrations under control.
The last time I saw Anthony, we were in a restaurant with our extended family. Anthony ordered his own food. He paid attention to calories and fat. Veggies and protein, please! There were no tantrums.
And, guess what? He was excited about the prospect of going back to school.

Thanksgiving is just over a week away and many families are already putting up their Christmas decorations! The holidays are an exciting time of year for kids, and to help ensure they have a safe holiday season, here are some tips from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP).
- When purchasing an artificial tree, look for the label "Fire Resistant."
- When purchasing a live tree, check for freshness. A fresh tree is green, needles are hard to pull from branches, and when bent between your fingers, needles do not break. The trunk butt of a fresh tree is sticky with resin, and when tapped on the ground, the tree should not lose many needles.
- When setting up a tree at home, place it away from fireplaces, radiators, or portable heaters. Place the tree out of the way of traffic and do not block doorways.
- Cut a few inches off the trunk of your tree to expose the fresh wood. This allows for better water absorption and will help to keep your tree from drying out and becoming a fire hazard.
- Be sure to keep the stand filled with water, because heated rooms can dry live trees out rapidly.
- Check all tree lights — even if you have just purchased them — before hanging them on your tree. Make sure all the bulbs work and that there are no frayed wires, broken sockets, or loose connections.
- Never use electric lights on a metallic tree. The tree can become charged with electricity from faulty lights, and a person touching a branch could be electrocuted.
- Before using lights outdoors, check labels to be sure they have been certified for outdoor use. To hold lights in place, string them through hooks or insulated staples, not nails or tacks. Never pull or tug lights to remove them.
- Plug all outdoor electric decorations into circuits with ground fault circuit interrupters to avoid potential shocks.
- Turn off all lights when you go to bed or leave the house. The lights could short out and start a fire.
- Use only non-combustible or flame-resistant materials to trim a tree. Choose tinsel or artificial icicles of plastic or nonleaded metals.
- Never use lighted candles on a tree or near other evergreens. Always use non-flammable holders, and place candles where they will not be knocked down.
- In homes with small children, take special care to avoid decorations that are sharp or breakable. Keep trimmings with small removable parts out of the reach of children to prevent them from swallowing or inhaling small pieces. Avoid trimmings that resemble candy or food that may tempt a young child to eat them.
- Wear gloves to avoid eye and skin irritation while decorating with spun glass "angel hair." Follow container directions carefully to avoid lung irritation while decorating with artificial snow sprays.
- Remove all wrapping papers, bags, paper, ribbons, and bows from tree and fireplace areas after gifts are opened. These items can pose suffocation and choking hazards to a small child or can cause a fire if near flame.

Insufficient meat content, meat and fat ingredients of unidentifiable origin, controversial filler
The first ingredient in this food is a meat product of unidentifiable origin. It is in meal form. We prefer not to see the use of unidentified "poultry" or "meat" products in dog foods. These are almost always very low quality, and it is impossible to identify species or source. The fat ingredient, fourth on the ingredient list, is also of unidentifiable species and source and similarly a very low quality 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. Protein hydrolysate (usually from whey) is a low quality means of boosting the protein content of the food.
The main grains in the food are wheat and corn. Wheat is believed by many to be the number one cause of food allergy problems in dogs. As wheat shorts this consists of "fine particles of wheat bran, wheat germ, wheat flour, and the offal from the tail of the mill. This product must be obtained in the usual process of commercial milling and must contain not more than 7% crude fiber". In simpler terms, the floor sweepings from processing of wheat for flour and other products. Wheat flour (in dog food commonly a byproduct of human food production) is a further grain fragment we consider primarily filler. Corn is of limited value, being a difficult to digest grain that is also commonly implicated in food allergies. It is, at least, a whole grain.
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. Added glucosamine and chondroitin are far below useful levels and a gimmick (as is the case in all dog food products).

Sometimes you need a table to take up a bit more space or help transition the varied functional spaces in a room. A console table is the ideal solution and the right style can become a focal point in your living room, bedroom, office or foyer. They are perfect for finishing off the rough edges of a room, as well, such as that area behind the sofa, under a window or along the base of a staircase. Console tables are a lovely place to set a fresh bouquet of flowers, a lamp, a collection of artistic pieces or a stack of books. Start by taking measurements of the space you need to fill, then visit either of our showrooms to find the design inspiration that turns your room into a stylishly finished space.
