Lalo Marquez needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 508 designs submitted by 127 freelance designers.
We're not sure what we want, but we think we will know when we see it. Our ad agency will use the new logo to design the new image for our studio, from stationary to the color of our building and our Web page.
De Anda Studios
Dear Friends,
Thank you for taking a look at our contest. Here's a little background of ourselves and our company:
We are located in Mexicali, Baja California, Mexico. Our family studio has been around since no later than 1960 and it's the most prestiged photography studio in our city and one of the best in the northwest of the country. We have customers from Mexico and the United States. My brother and I are the photographers and our father began the business more than 50 years ago (but we're NOT looking for a 50 anniversary logo).
We are a full service studio, which means that we do Weddings (in studio and whole events on location), Portraits (babies, maternity, pregnant portraits, communions, quinceaneras and sweet sixteens, graduations, families, groups, executives -like politicians, governors, big shot CEOs, clerics, and the like-, etc.), Identifications (for passport, visas, schools, etc.), Industrial (buildings, people working, manufacturing processes, finished products, etc.), advertising photography for several local ad agencies and independent companies in business like home development, food, reselling, etc.
My brother and I strive to differientiate from the rest of the photographers in our area and are always looking for new ways of standing out from the crowd with our work.
The name "De Anda Studios" comes from our father, his last name was "Márquez De Anda", so his mother's maiden name was "De Anda". My brother and I don't bear that lastname, we are "Márquez Blake" (in Mexico we use two last names, our father's and our mother's).
We want to appeal the older members of the old families of our community, as well as the new members of all the families. In other words, we want to continue to be in the taste of everyone without being regarded as an old fashion studio just for old timers or a too trendy studio just for the young ones.
Thank you to Moltoallegro for his invaluable tips. I'm implementing the following Ratings System:
- 1 Star rating: Not really what we are after.
- 2 Stars rating: You may be into something, but we need to see some more of this to get to like it or some other designs to eliminate it.
- 3 Stars rating: Getting closer but need revisions or a different take on your design.
- 4 stars rating: You're on the spot with your design and is being considered, but still needs a little tweaking to make it perfect.
- 5 stars rating: We really like the design and will make our final selections from these.
UPDATE:This is a photo of the front and side of our studio. It needs a painting, and a change of look, and our logo will be used as a base for that by our local ad agency:http://img209.imageshack.us/img209/9408/deandastudioseq3.jpg
- The logo must represent professionalism, creativity, experience, leadership, uniqueness... we want to keep this logo for a very long time, so it may also be timeless or not easily outdated
- We want a stand-alone identity too (a recognizable morph)
- We want our logo to be recognizable and readable in any size
- The graphic elements must be able to be used separately and stand alonefrom the name, or it's fine if the name is the "graphic element"
- Will be used for water marking images as well
- We are going to use it on our stationary, on the front and inside of our building, in all kind of advertisings like local magazines, yellow pages, news papers, flyers, and on our Web page (right now under remodelation - http://www.deandastudios.com which is redirecting traffic to my brother's Web site where, by the way, you can see some of our work)
- I don't know if this is important, but for many years we used and were recognized by this sort of logo here: http://img156.imageshack.us/img156/…iosmm0.gif
- We think a good resizable logo would be one that measures about the same in width and height, but we are open to any suggestion, as long as it looks good and is visually recognizable when reduced in size and put among several other logos in a sponsored ad
- Choose the colors you seem appropiate, we're planing to use those colors in our new image, like our Web site colors, stationary, and painting of our building
- We need the winning original logo in a layered format that may allow us to resize it without any loss of quality
- We need that a version of the winning logo can be used in either color, grayscale, and black and white publications, and maybe even embroided in clothing
- Fonts or font names used must be provided
- Avoid cameras, lenses, an eye, a diaphragm or apperture blades, film strips, polaroids, frames or framing hands, or any other "cliched" icons... unless of course you come up with something really outstanding ;-)
- Something that looks like it was made in Microsoft Paint
- Cartoony look
- Dependence on reflective effects to look good
- Unlicensed Art, must be an original, copyright-free idea
- Gradients that pixelate on paper

AT&T pick up WCS spectrum for LTE expansion
Posted by John Kilhefner Categories: Broadband, Cell Phones, Corporate News, Wireless / WiFi,
The airwaves are running out, and you may've noticed it from the data diet your phone company has probably went on, or from the inability to send texts from busy areas in the city.
The FCC has approved the transfer of 608 spectrum licenses to AT&T that cover about 82 percent of the US population. Don't start streaming those 1080p movies from your data plan just yet, as the new spectrum isn't going in effect any time soon. It'll be years before any of us can take advantage of it, we're afraid.

$2.1 million in Wii U consoles stolen in Seattle heist
Posted by Jason Diaz Categories: Corporate News, Culture, Nintendo, Wii U,
Tis the season for stealing! No, what? 7,000 Nintendo Wii U consoles were nabbed from a SeaTac Seattle Air Cargo warehouse on Saturday night. Get this—the getaway vehicles were two semi trailers. The burglars managed to use forklifts to steal the pallets of the gaming consoles. It is speculated that it was an inside job. Police authorities are on the lookout for two semi trailers with the branding logo of McKinney. However, more likely than not, these will end up on internet sites such and Craigslist and eBay. Considering that each unit costs $300, it's not crazy to say that the thieves walked away with roughly 2.1 million dollars. Like they say, it's the most wonderful time of the year!

Instagram co-founder Kevin Systrom responds to backlash
Posted by John Kilhefner Categories: Legal, News, Social Networks,
Instagram wants you to know that it hears your concerns and its doing its best to alleviate the symptoms of change. Accordingly, the photo-sharing service has altered the parts of its new Terms of Service.
Earlier, we reported that many people were leaving the service for Flickr and the like, because people took the new ToS to mean the community's photos would be unfairly monetized for Instagram's gain. Kevin Systrom, co-founder of Instagram, has since made it clear that is not the case. Systrom states that Instagram wants "to experiment with innovative advertising." Which according to Systrom means allowing Instagram access to people you follow, and who they follow, for businesses to use in order to better promote its business.
Systrom also claimed that users still own their content and that his company won't sell user photos to advertisers.

Google Music's Scan and Match now available in the US
Posted by John Kilhefner Categories: Google, Music, Storage,
When Google Music came to Europe, it brought a new feature not available in the US—Scan and Match. It's similar to iTunes Match, whereas it scans your local music collection and puts them in the cloud so that you don't have to.
After downloading the Music Manager, it will match your songs up with Google's, and begin "uploading" your songs into the cloud at a rate of about 30 seconds per album. After your music is in the cloud, you can listen to it on different devices, even iOS if you use Google's HTML5 web app.
Now US users are able to take advantage of this feature. It's free, and automatic for the most part, so you won't have to go through the cumbersome process of backing up your digital music collection solo.

Twitter Partners with Nielsen to Create Nielsen Twitter TV Ratings
Posted by John Kilhefner Categories: Corporate News, News, Partnerships, Social Media,
Nielsen and Twitter are joining forces to create Nielsen Twitter TV Rating. Twitter, as we all know, is a social media platform that sees more than a billion tweets every 2.5 days on an inexhaustible list of topics. Nielsen specializes in information, particularly what consumers watch and buy. With Nielsen Twitter TV Rating, the two companies hope to find a standardized way of measuring the conversations happening around TV shows.
The ratings will be commercially available Fall 2013, and, according to Twitter's blog, will function as "one common benchmark from which to measure the engagement of their programming." The new rating system will set in place measures to quantify the people discussing the TV shows, as well as the people who were exposed to the conversation. The goal will be to provide "the precise size of the audience and effect of social TV to TV programming."
This is not the two companies first pairing, as both came together earlier this year to measure the impact of brand advertising campaigns using Twitter surveys.

Samsung drops European injunctions against Apple
Posted by John Kilhefner Categories: Apple, Cell Phones, Corporate News,
Samsung announced its intentions to drop its injunction requests against Apple. The injunction was for "standards-essential patent infringement" in Europe.
Here's what Samsung had to say:
"Samsung remains committed to licensing our technologies on fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory terms, and we strongly believe it is better when companies compete fairly in the marketplace, rather than in court. In this spirit, Samsung has decided to withdraw our injunction requests against Apple on the basis of our standard essential patents pending in European courts, in the interest of protecting consumer choice."

New algorithm attempts to debunk false information on Twitter
Posted by John Kilhefner Categories: News, Social Networks, Startups,
While Twitter has been described as a "self-cleaning oven" and a "truth machine," rumors do slip through and cause confusion, if briefly. A new study building on research done in 2010, analyzing tweets surrounding the Chile 8.8 earthquake, is currently researching the possibilities of sussing out the true tweets from the false ones.
The study uses 16 features to identify whether a tweet is credible or not. It seems reliable information tends to be longer and include URLs, as well as come from people with a lot of followers. The true tweets also tend to be negative in nature, and do not contain exclamation points or question marks.
A new paper by those behind the Chile earthquake study, Carlos Castillo, Marcelo Mendoza and Barbara Poblete, will appear in the journal Internet Research next month with what look to be encouraging results. Their algorithm had an AUC of 0.86, meaning that when it's presented with a false tweet and a true tweet, it would label the true tweet more credible 86 percent of the time.
It's not perfect, and actual people would probably fair better in determining which tweet was more credible. Probably. In any case, it's nice to see we're making strides toward making the Internet a more credible place. My only concern is the escalation factor; that is, the people behind the deliberately false information will only adopt better practices to fool such truth-seeking algorithms.

Pez Fumbles Again - are they Journalists or Commentators?
Actually Mr. Conn, as long as he isn't caught doping again, what Vino can do "4 Ever" is keep racing. Perhaps at some point Pez will realize that op-ed is handled on one side of the shop, and proper journalism on the other. And that when the two are so carelessly mixed, it's the credibility of the media outlet – and not the subject of the article – who ultimately suffers.
1 comment:

Very true. Hate him or not, Vino did his time and is allowed to race again. People need to accept that there is no lifetime ban for first doping offence right now, so someone like Vino - who broke the rules but then played by them during his suspension - now gets to return to cycling.ReplyDelete

1. Re: Unable to open my website?Mark_Rausch Feb 29, 2012 10:49 AM (in response to Processweaver)
Hi Santhi chand,
You didn't post the URL you're testing, so I can't be sure this answer is correct, but it sounds like the page you're testing requires Flash Player 11.1. We haven't updated BrowserLab in a while (though we plan to do that soon), so much the same as we're behind on browser versions, we're also behind on the Flash Player version we have installed on our browser servers.
I'm not sure if it's possible for you, but a simple workaround for this issue would be to lower the minimum Player required version number to 10 on the page(s) you're testing. Does the content you have there actually require that Player 11 be installed?
If this isn't the problem, please post the URL you're testing so we can take a look at it ourselves.
Hope this helps,
2. Re: Unable to open my website?Processweaver Mar 2, 2012 8:39 AM (in response to Mark_Rausch)
Hi Mark,
We have developed two sites, one is developed in Adobe Flash Builder 4.0 and another in 4.6 .The site which is developed in 4.0 is working in Browsers Lab but the site which is developed in 4.6 is not working. Please suggest ?
Santhi Chand
3. Re: Unable to open my website?Mark_Rausch Mar 2, 2012 9:52 AM (in response to Processweaver)
As I mentioned previously, the first thing I'd look at is the Flash Player version your site is requiring. But it's really hard to diagnose because you're not providing me any details, screenshots, or urls. When you say it's "not working", do you mean you get the "requires Flash Player 11" message you talked about in your first post, or does something else happen? Can you give details, or a screenshot, or both? Can you provide the URL so we can check things out for ourselves?
4. Re: Unable to open my website?Processweaver Mar 4, 2012 9:58 PM (in response to Mark_Rausch)
5. Re: Unable to open my website?Mark_Rausch Mar 5, 2012 5:37 PM (in response to Processweaver)1 person found this helpful
Right, what you're seeing is an error message on our browser server because we don't have Flash 11.1 installed on those machines yet. Compiling with Flash Builder 4.6 means that you're building for Flash Player 11 or higher. We should be updating those machines with a number of updates (including Player 11) over the next 2-4 weeks. Until then, if you'd like to be able to use BrowserLab to test your site, you might be able to download the Flex 4.0 SDK (which requires Player 10) and compile with that rather than the Flex 4.6 SDK.
Hope this helps,

The recent paintings by long-time Chestnut Hill College (CHC) art professor Therese McGuire, SSJ, Ph. D. are an inspiration. Two years ago around Thanksgiving, Sister McGuire, 83, suffered a stroke that left the right side of her body, the side she used to paint and make jewelry and other silver, paralyzed.
But the incident did anything but immobilize her will to create. With her yearning for art still churning within, Sister McGuire began to learn to paint with her non-dominant left hand, a skill today she still works to develop.
Three Sister McGuire paintings are featured at the annual international juried exhibition and sale of art and fine crafts, "All About Art," at the Moss Rehabilitation Center, 60 E. Township Line Rd. in Elkins Park, now through July 1. The show is free and open to the public from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
The exhibition showcases works by 86 artists and fine craft artisans, 26 of whom are new this year. In addition to local artists, featured works include exhibitors from around the U.S., Canada and India. Mediums include oil and watercolor painting, photography, sculpture, needlepoint and jewelry. Prices range from $24 to $3,000, with a portion of the proceeds benefiting the Voices of MossRehab Aphasia Center.
In 1944, at the age of 17, Sister McGuire left her family's northern New Jersey home to come to Philadelphia to join the convent of the Sisters of Saint Joseph. Decades later, she remains true to her Jesuit discipline while struggling to relearn the use of the now-paralyzed right side of her body. She is optimistic about her chances to walk and paint with her right hand again. With help, she walks with a cane.
Her "Patriotic Poppies," "The Road Less Taken," and "The World is Charged with the Grandeur of God" featured at the show (two of which have been sold, but will remain until the exhibit concludes) were painted over the past two years using watercolors on paper. Before her stroke, Sister McGuire painted with oil colors on large canvases.
It was only a few months after the stroke before Sister McGuire started to paint again. The art historian's approach was simple enough, "I said I can't do it with my right hand, so I'll try it with my left," said Sister McGuire during a recent interview.
After graduating from CHC with a degree in English in 1972, Sister McGuire earned her MFA in art from Catholic University. To earn the degree, she took summer classes for nine years while teaching during the school year at institutions like the Main Line's Academy of Notre Dame. In 1981, she received her Ph.D. in art from New York University, where her doctoral dissertation was an intensive comparison between female religious artists from two centuries, the 12th and the 20th.
Since starting as a professor at CHC in 1982, Sister McGuire has presented papers and talks around the world — from the Sorbonne in Paris to England's Oxford University to the University of Kalamazoo in Michigan — with a focus on medieval subjects.
"I think the medievalists had a deeper knowledge of the art of their own century," said Sister McGuire. "They seemed to delve more into it because they had more time."
Sisters today spend more time doing missionary work and providing other community services, she added. "The 20th-century art doesn't have the same intensity."
Deborah Krupp, "All About Art" chair and co-curator, was originally inspired by the permanent collection on a visit to MossRehab for her daughter's wheelchair evaluation. "I then attended the first show and was so uplifted, I knew I had to get involved.
"Art is an embodiment of aesthetics and life experience. You look at the works in 'All About Art,' and they stand on their own merit for quality. They are provocative, creative, beautiful. Then, you factor in the challenges faced by the artists, considering that many of them had to innovate new ways to work after their disability, and you are moved and motivated by the sheer power these artists have."
Recognized as a national leader in comprehensive medical rehabilitation programs, MossRehab offers a wide range of specialized services, including comprehensive programs for brain and spinal cord injury, stroke, amputation and orthopedic conditions. It is part of the Albert Einstein Healthcare Network.
While, at least for now, Sister can no longer make handmade chalices with hammered and wax-painted silver, the young girl who left her northern New Jersey home at the age of 17 because she fell in love with God and the way the nuns lived, can still express that love and experience through art.
MossRehab at Einstein, 60 E. Township Line Rd. in Elkins Park, is the site of "All About Art." The show is running through July 1 and is free and open to the public daily from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. For more information or to schedule a group tour, call 215-663-6100.

There are a number of reasons why people take the time to fully restore 1969 ford mach mustangs for car programs and individual pleasure. One of the primary reasons people invest a lot time, energy, and cash restoring 1969 ford mach mustangs is the power that is consisted of in that specific mustang design. The engine upgrades that were available throughout the launch of the 1969 ford mach mustang for sale in Peterborough NH changed the mach mustang from the average household car into a racing enthusiasts dream.
Production of the Mustang began in Dearborn, Michigan on March 9, 1964 and the automobile was presented to the public on April 17, 1964 at the New York World's Fair. It is Ford's 3rd oldest nameplate currently in production. After it was seen on television and in print it was wanted by every blue blooded American. Everyone wanted to be the first to buy A mustang in Peterborough NH.Original sales forecasts predicted less than 100,000 systems for the very first year. This mark was gone beyond in three months from rollout. Another 318,000 would be offered throughout the design year (a record), and in its first eighteen months, more than one million Mustangs were built.
Buy Vintage Ford Mustangs
All these were VIN-identified as 1965 designs, but numerous modifications were made at the conventional opening of the brand-new design year (start August 1964), including the addition of back-up lights on some designs, the intro of alternators to replace generators, and an upgrade of the V8 engine from 260 cu into 289 cu in. When it comes to a minimum of some six-cylinder Mustangs fitted with the 101 hp 170 cu in Falcon engine, the rush into production consisted of some uncommon quirks, such as a horn ring bearing the 'Ford Falcon' logo design beneath a trim ring emblazoned with 'Ford Mustang.' These attributes made sufficient distinction to necessitate designation of the 121,538 earlier ones as "1964 1/2" model-year Mustangs, a distinction that has actually sustained with perfectionists. Mustangs For Sale in Peterborough NH are easy to find now with online shopping.
The 1973 OPEC oil embargo brought with it more strict pollution laws and the desire for fuel-efficiency. This was likewise the very first time in automotive history that the Huge 3 were having to compete with imports. The new Mustang II was smaller sized than the very first variation however, due to the added equipment needed to meet new United States emission and security regulations, was heavier than the first model. Performance was lowered and in the very first year just 385,993 cars were offered.
2nd generation Mustangs for sale in Peterborough NH were offered between 1974 and 1978 and readily available in a coupe and hatchback variation. 1979 the Mustang was upgraded a 3rd time. This time it was based on the bigger Fox platform and the interior was truly big enough for 4 individuals. The trunk was bigger therefore was the engine bay. The body styles readily available consisted of a coupe, hatchback and in 1983 a convertible. In 1979 the Third generation Mustang functioned as an Indianapolis 500 rate car and Ford built 10,478 celebratory replicas. The 3rd generation Mustangs were produced from 1979 to 1982.

Feldman shines as Cubs defeat Padres
Chicago, IL – Scott Feldman pitched his first career complete game and set a personal best with 12 strikeouts as the Chicago Cubs topped the San Diego Padres, 6-2, at Wrigley Field.
Feldman (2-3) gave up homers to Jedd Gyorko and Chase Headley among the three San Diego hits. The right-hander walked just one batter and contributed an RBI double.
Dioner Navarro had a two-run double for the Cubs, who bounced back from a 13-7 loss Tuesday.
Former Cub Andrew Cashner (1-2) allowed six hits and five runs -- four earned -- over four innings, as the Padres lost for just the second time in their last seven games.
"Cash just wasn't on tonight. He couldn't get any momentum started," Padres manager Bud Black said. "There was no consistency there. He could never get in a groove."
Starlin Castro's single into center field plated Julio Bourbon in the opening inning in the third portion of this four-game series.
Feldman's double to the right field corner scored Darwin Barney in the second, and the righty went back to the mound with great success the following two innings. Feldman struck out the side in the third and fourth frames.
"That was actually a big hit at that time to get things going," Cubs manager Dale Sveum said of Feldman's double.
Navarro's two-bagger to the gap in right-center field scored Anthony Rizzo and Castro in the third, and Bourbon came home on Luis Valbuena's groundout in the fourth for a 5-0 cushion.
Castro singled with one out in the seventh and scored on a Nate Schierholtz double.
Gyorko started the eighth with his first career homer, a shot to left-center field. Headley homered to right with one out in the ninth, but Sveum left Feldman in to finish the job he started.
"It's been something I've wanted to do for a while," Feldman said of his first complete game. "Originally the plan was for me to throw eight. I went back and asked skip if I could throw a CG and thankfully he didn't take me out."
Game Notes
The Cubs have won five of their last seven contests ... Feldman's previous career-high of 11 strikeouts came Aug. 23, 2009 at Tampa Bay when he pitched for Texas ... Feldman threw 80 of his 114 pitches for strikes.

DD has been described as a crossover between minesweeper and nethack. It is probably very late in developement for that type of suggestion, but who knows : why not push a little further the comparison, with a level where the walls are replaced with mines, causing a certain amount of damages to the player (a fixed value, or a proportion of health, or anything else). The regular floor tiles would display the number of surrounding mines.
PISSORF'ing monsters on mines would have them to explode causing damages to the monsters (unless they have a special abilitie to avoid the explosion).

I want to believe, I really do, in the concept of a Top 10 — of employing rigor and discipline and dispassionate analysis to arrive at a best-of list that's as indisputable as gravity and as adulated as a Kardashian.
But who are we kidding? Choosing what makes the cut for one of these things is like trying to pick out a single puppy at the pound: Pretty soon you want to take them all home (even the ones that maybe made a little mess of things).
So before our Top 10 in San Diego theater for 2011, a quick run-through of the Just-Missed-It 20:
The Old Globe's charmingly lo-fi (but sprawling) "Odyssey," excellent "Death of a Salesman" (with a shattering turn by Jeffrey DeMunn), gripping "Groundswell" and eminently Bacharach-ian "Some Lovers" (and let's not forget the ultimately unsinkable "Richard O'Brien's The Rocky Horror Show"); La Jolla Playhouse's heroically contemporized "Jesus Christ Superstar" (imported from Canada and bound for Broadway), witty if unfocused "Little Miss Sunshine" and inventive, involving "Susurrus"; North Coast Rep's unstoppable streak of such polished shows as "The Drawer Boy," "My Name is Asher Lev," "Five Course Love" and (especially) "Lend Me a Tenor"; San Diego Rep's quietly arresting "Superior Donuts" and sublimely hard-rocking "The Who's Tommy"; Ion Theatre's gruesome but hilarious (grularious?) "The Lieutenant of Inishmore"; New Village Arts' sad but radiant "Of Mice and Men"; Lamb's Players' startlingly fresh "The Music Man" and affecting two-hander "Trying"; the pioneering teamwork of the Rep, the Playhouse and Vantage Theatre on Anna Deavere Smith's sharp solo show "Let Me Down Easy"; and yet another heartening round of young dramatists' work as staged by Playwrights Project.
(And two shows I still wish I could go back and catch: Cygnet Theatre's "The Glass Menagerie" and Ion's "Gypsy.")
Phew. Now, on with the show:
1. "August: Osage County," Old Globe Theatre: Tracy Letts' majestic and gut-wrenching (and sometimes gut-bustingly funny) family saga brought the big old Oklahoma house down under Sam Gold's direction, with a fearless turn by Lois Markle as brutal, brittle matriarch Violet.
2. "Cabaret," Cygnet Theatre: Karson St. John's subversive turn as the friendly-turned-menacing Emcee (a role usually played by a man) was the centerpiece of Sean Murray's frightfully fine production.
3. "Sleeping Beauty Wakes," La Jolla Playhouse: The world-premiere musical infused the old fairy tale with a modern-day vibe, in a show driven by Aspen Vincent's star turn and Brendan Milburn's distinctive score.
4. "Angels In America," Ion Theatre: The unstoppable Hillcrest company pulled out all the stops (or is that redundant?) in staging both parts of Tony Kushner's Pulitzer-winning epic - and doing it with humor, raw emotion and some of the year's sharpest acting.
5: "Milk Like Sugar," La Jolla Playhouse: Kirsten Greenidge's world-premiere play (which went on to run off-Broadway) captured vividly the big dreams, fleeting fixations and unspoken agonies among a set of struggling, spiritually undernourished teens.
6: "Next to Normal," Broadway/San Diego (touring show): Onetime San Diegan Alice Ripley took her Tony-winning Broadway role as a bipolar suburban mom on the road, and showcased the power of this intimate but unstinting rock musical about a family in meltdown. (The piece won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama.)
7: "Jane Austen's Emma - A Musical Romantic Comedy," Old Globe Theatre: This much-traveled, repeatedly revised show seemed finally to find its sweet spot in wittily recasting Austen's classic story of a misguided matchmaker.
8. "The Tempest," Old Globe Theatre: If you didn't love it for Miles Anderson's beautifully calibrated turn as the conflicted sorcerer Prospero, you had to love it for director Adrian Noble's ravishing visual sense and Shaun Davey's haunting original music.
9. "Dead Man's Cell Phone," Moxie Theatre: Director Delicia Turner Sonnenberg assembled a cast that seemed perfectly tuned to playwright Sarah Ruhl's quirky wavelength, in this story of romance, identity and the innumerable hassles of being deceased.
10. "Peer Gynt," La Jolla Playhouse: So weird. So confusing. So not-following-the-rules. So much fun. David Schweizer's mad refashioning of the Ibsen epic dared to dream. And if that dream sometimes looked like a particularly fun-loving hallucination (three-headed trolls! deliberately bad lip-syncing!), you still had to say of this tale about a hero's journey: What a trip.

As a part of the town of Greenfield, Massachusetts', 200th anniversary, the bicentennial committee commissioned a number of commemorative items. These included this special porcelain plate, made by David T. Robertson and Company of Appomattox, Virginia. A huge celebration marked the town's two hundredth birthday. Greenfield had officially been created on June 9th, 1753; at 7pm on that date in 1953 the town's fire alarm blew forty blasts to signal the start of the celebration. Organizers scheduled peak activities on Saturday, June 13th, to ensure the largest number of participants. Tens of thousands of spectators from throughout Franklin County filled the town of 17,000. The day was filled with spectacle and display; the central event was a parade, led by Massachusetts governor Christian Herter, that marched past the reviewing stand for two and a half hours. The culminating event was an evening display of fireworks unmatched, the town's history from 1953 reported, "for volume, variety, and duration."

MY RIDE- Amy Zell- 1996 Honda Accord
Having a baby changes everything, and Wes and Amy Zell should know. In preparation for the arrival of their little one last September, they furnished a nursery, rearranged their work schedules, and labored all last summer to complete renovations on their house in downtown Charlottesville. Also on their to-do list was finding and purchasing a baby-friendly vehicle.
"Our Honda's really reliable, which makes it a good baby car," says Amy Zell. "Actually, I only buy Hondas because they're so dependable. They last a long time, and they don't break down."
The Zells put the car to the test last summer when they flew out to Bedford, Indiana to pick it up and drive it back to Charlottesville. The next time they ventured west was with baby in tow.
"It's a special car because it brought my baby home from the hospital, and it's what he took his first big trip in," Amy says. "He's gotten his first glimpses of the world from its windows."
Safety always comes first with a baby involved, and overall the Zells are pleased with their five-star safety-rating purchase. In a perfect world, though...
"I could go for some leather seats," Amy says.

Markets opened a bit up, but the damage to the bulls' psyche yesterday will leave a mark. As always, I suggest using a tranche approach to buying anything, do a little bit now and leave room for more later. The Scutify app is now available for both Android and iOS. We are constantly updating the apps with new features, and it's the best stock market app out there.
Remember how good it felt when all your highflying stocks were at all-time highs a couple months ago? The momentum stocks giveth and they taketh away. Use the playbook. Buy weakness (I have been scaling into a few long positions today) and remember to trim some next time they rally.
Yesterday was the fourth anniversary of the great stock market Flash Crash. Here's how I laid out the playbook in real-time for readers of The Cody Word back during the Flash Crash on May 6, 2010: "I'd be covering some shorts and would buy a batch of calls every 100 points down starting right now at 10,450." AND LATER: "Butterflies on 700 pt drop, but don't lose cool. If you were wanting to buy start scaling." AND THEN: "If you bought calls, you are now up HUGE! Sell 1/2 your calls and go home and throw a party for your girlfriend."
Here are today's must-read articles for anybody trying to keep the big picture in their head.
Charts Say Stock Swoon May Have Farther to Go — I don't believe that the universe/capitalism will reward the drawing of straight lines on historical price patterns for a stock. Thusly, I do not believe you can sustainably profit from any type of "technical analysis." Art, maybe, but not profits.
But one of the most insightful options traders and options data trackers you'll ever find, Jon Smart, made some great points.
Alibaba IPO search on Google News — 90,000 headlines in the last week about this topic. I have been patiently waiting to short Yahoo /quotes/zigman/59898/delayed /quotes/nls/yhoo YHOO once Alibaba finally comes public. Talk about hype! How LONG have we been hearing about the Alibaba IPO and how Yahoo owns a chunk of it. Any upside for Yahoo from an Alibaba IPO has long since been priced into the stock. I expect $YHOO will make a great short side trade into the Alibaba IPO and there soon after for the near-term. Still gotta wait til closer to Labor Day though. Sigh.
How high can the drone revolution fly? — My latest Revolution Investing newsletter. "You see, the biggest problem that all these predictions and models for the Drone Revolution have is that they can't account for the brilliant, innovative and ever new uses that unmanned aircraft and smaller remotely- or automatically-controlled devices will be used for in the future." See also Monday's blog post: Profit from the coming drone revolution.
High-frequency trading hurts hedge funds – not you — I talked about this terrific article at the end of my Monday Cody Underground podcast earlier this week. Important points for all individual investors throughout the well thought-out article, such as "As an individual investor, however, you are better off giving into it. Don't fight it; simply accept that in some ways the market is working against you. There's not much doubt that high-frequency traders are skinning investors, just as market-makers — the guys who maintained liquidity in stocks for decades — did in the past. They are getting theirs. It doesn't mean you can't get yours; you just can't win playing their game."

My artist name is Nemo Valkyrja ("ja" = "ya" sound) and means Valkyrie in old Norse. My heritage is Norwegian and I love mythology, so I think it's a good fit
I graduated with dual Bachelor's degrees in Japanese and Asia Studies and lived abroad in Kyoto, Japan.
I started going to conventions in 2003, but was not an active cosplayer until 2007. As of late 2011, I've made around 12 costumes and certainly have some unfinished ones... (I'm slow!) I am not a "professional" cosplayer (does that even exist?).
I fell in love with photography in 2010 and own both Nikon and Canon DSLRs. I've been buying equipment gradually - and, like cosplay, I enjoy learning and experimenting as I go.
I'm not interested in promoting myself so please don't do it for me. I am not a model and I do not want to be. I do not want money or fame. I do not do nude work. For some reason, this is a hard concept for people to grasp but I assure you, it is as simple as that. I just like having my page here. I like dabbling in art and learning new things. I love following the amazing work by artists on this website! I want to share the work I do with fellow artists in artist communities. I want to collaborate with other artists too!
Please do not use, reproduce, manipulate or otherwise utilize my work without permission. Thank you!!

1D Heterostructure Tool
Poisson-Schrödinger Solver for 1D Heterostructures
Version 3.0.7 - published on 27 Aug 2015
doi:10.4231/D3QR4NR6C cite this
Anonymous @ on
I studied the "1D Heterostructure Tool" which is a simple Poisson Schrodinger solver for 1D heterostructures. This tool has recently been updated as of May 8, 2009. Although it is a useful tool with many benefits, I feel that some added features would make it significantly more useful.
The current materials that are available for this tool are GaP, AlAs, AlP, GaAs, InAs, and AlGaAs. A maximum of 16 layers plus the substrate can be chosen. For each layer you are allowed to pick the material, alloy compostion, n-type doping level, and thickness/# of monolayers. There is also an option to add a delta doping layer. A nice feature of the tool is that once you choose your layer structure you can quickly view a flat-band energy diagram of the design before simulating in order to ensure that you have your desired design. After the geometry is selected you can choose the minimum and maximum gate voltages along with the voltage step size. This is used for determining the voltage range that the electron sheet density of each layer is calculated for. You must also select whether to calculate the electron density using a model based on the Schrodinger equation or a model using the Thomas-Fermi calculation.
Since the tool is a simple Poisson solver the simulation only takes a few moments. Therefore, the major benefit of this tool is the quick visualization of simple heterojunction structures. The important outputs of the tool are the conduction band and the electron density. Thus, the tool's main use is to quickly observe heterojunction interfaces like those of an AlGaAs/GaAs HEMT.
I believe that this tool could be incredibly more useful with a few improvements and added features. An obvious improvement is the addition of more materials. Besides from just more semiconductor materials, it would also be useful to add some metals that could be used as contacts. Currently the tool just solves for the conduction band and electron density at zero gate bias, but a more applicable tool would allow for an applied gate bias or at least a top metal contact with a specified Schottky barrier. Also, the Fermi level is currently an input value chosen by the user. I think it would be more appropriate and accurate if the Fermi level was calculated by the tool itself based on the device geometry. Another important addition would recognize the importance of p-type devices. The development of devices with high hole mobility is essential to the advancement of semiconductor technology, but this tool only allows for n-type doping. It also only calculates the conduction band and electron density. Showing the valence band and hole density would be essential for the modeling of a p-type device such as a p-channel high hole mobility transistor (HHMT). Another important aspect of p-type devices is the use of strain. It would be interesting if based on the layer structure the tool could calculate the strain of each layer, and consequently the effect of the strain on the energy band.
Overall, I think this tool is useful for visualizing simple heterojunction interfaces but requires some added features in order to be applicable for modeling more interesting and complicated devices.

Automation Process Knowledge Management
Tribal Knowledge - New Tools Are Putting Process Know-How into Online Pools, Letting Newbies Access More Useful Knowledge, and Even Awakening Some On-the-Job Training Efforts
In the good old hunter-gatherer days, know-how and those who needed it didn't evolve so fast. Likewise, masters and apprentices in traditional process applications were in on-site engineering departments in the same location, and they had time to work together on projects, convey critical experience from one generation to the next, and even learn to deal with unusual situations. Needless to say, times have changed.
Years of short-sighted downsizing and layoffs gutted and eliminated most internal engineering groups. Even more veteran engineers are retiring, and their remaining colleagues are spread painfully thin. And these staff cuts have all happened at a time when technological advances are happening faster than ever before. Talk about bad timing.
As a result, some end users, system integrators (SIs) and suppliers are collecting useful and critical process, operations and maintenance knowledge and storing it in ways that can be easily accessed by less-experienced engineers, technicians and operators. And while this collected know-how begins with formal, documented procedures, most efforts also include gathering tacit data or "tribal" knowledge that was never preserved anywhere before now.
New Smarts Needed
For example, system integrator Maverick Technologies (www.mavtechglobal.com) in Columbia, Ill., reports it's maintained a learning culture since it started in 2000 and began compiling its homegrown technical skills and softer, people-oriented abilities and courses in its Maverick University website in 2005-06. Maverick also employs its Project Complete project execution methodology (PEM) to make sure everyone uses the same "sheet music" on each project. However, to preserve more detailed data and its own tribal knowledge, the system integrator also launched an internal "Maverick Wiki" website about 18 months ago.
"We have a lot of engineers and about 500 employees in all, and we needed to have more information at our fingertips," says Paul Galeski, Maverick's CEO. "But our staffers are very geographically distributed, and so we needed the better information backbone that a wiki could give us."
Consisting mainly of high-level, documented knowledge and functional specifications, Project Complete includes at its core 180 policies and procedures that Maverick uses to execute its projects, but the company found it still required more. "We needed the wiki for more real-time, intimate, unstructured knowledge," adds Galeski. "We still had a lot of minutae, undocumented features, small issues and tasks that had to be captured. For instance, a regular document might say, 'You're supposed to do this,' but a specific application might add that, 'You also must do this and this,' such as describing what kind of I/O card it needs."
Though the wiki's specific benefits haven't been tracked yet, Galeski reports that it's already making many projects more efficient and increasing profits. "The wiki makes it easier to access detailed, virtual information, especially at job sites," he says. "And updates aren't limited to one or two individuals, but instead go to the whole company. For example, if someone on the West Coast resolves an historian issue, they can now offer it up to the whole organization. There's no longer a whole process to publish. It's just there. The staff has already found these, and they've been very useful to some who've been 'out in the weeds' at 2 or 3 a.m."
Know-How Drives DAQ…
Whatever their level of development or sophistication, all knowledge management programs are built on their user's process control application and its essential operations and maintenance data, which is often logged in data acquisition (DAQ) systems, historians and similar PC-based devices.
For example, CF Chefs (http://cfchefs.com) in Dallas, built its foodservice sauces business on manually switched and controlled production lines, whose operators expertly mix and cook 160 different items in five- to 2800-pound batches in kettles on load cells. However, when the company recently replaced two of its four liquid production lines, its managers decided to collect its recipes and operators' know-how, so they could be carried out by automatic process controls.
"It was becoming a bigger challenge for CF Chefs to keep track of all their recipes, ingredient weights, temperatures and cooking times at each stage of production. The temperatures and cooking times also varied due to different ambient temperatures and cooking times needed at different times of day," says Francisco Porras, owner and founder of system integrator HMI Automation Inc. in Grapevine, Texas.

Kim Kardashian v. Ciara: It's A BFF Battle! Who Looked Best In This Little Black Dress?
Who wore Carven better?
Like most best friends, Kim Kardashian and Ciara have similar taste when it comes to style — I know when I go shopping with my closest friend there are many times we buy the same exact thing or will see something in the others hand and beg to borrow it before it's even purchased! That's why I wasn't surprised to see Ciara step out sporting the same exact dress and booties Kim wore just weeks earlier.
While in Europe on Sept. 16, Kim was the first to show off this fun frock by Carven. Paired with leopard Christian Louboutin booties, a classic Chanel bag, and a slicked back 'do the reality star wasn't exactly wearing your basic little black dress! While I thought she looked great, I wasn't a huge fan of her ponytail– I rather see the star show off a softer 'do.
A little over a month later at the For Colored Girls premiere in NYC on Oct. 26 Ciara showed up wearing the same exact look from head-to-toe, where she added a couple of bracelets and a ring along with a bright lip and loose curls.
At first glance, I liked Ciara's hair and makeup way better — although I wish she swept her hair to one side to keep the focus on the detailing of the dress. Who do you think wore it better?

It wasn't about line items when the Shelby County Commission approved a county operating budget Monday, June 3, for the fiscal year that begins July 1.
Despite a set of amendments to remove particular amounts from the budget, commissioners devoted most of their budget deliberations to a broader discussion about the role of government – county government in particular.
The discussion was punctuated with the approval of the first of three readings of a tax rate ordinance that would raise the county property tax rate by 36 cents – 30 cents for the recertified rate and a six-cent tax hike to fund the consolidated school system.
The budget action renewed a long-standing discussion among a commission with a 7-6 majority Democrat split and some deep philosophical differences that don't always fall along party lines.
Most amendments to the budget from the group of four Republican commissioners who have been the most vocal opponents of county spending and the tax hike failed.
The amendments defeated included deleting: $57.6 million from the budget – the amount of money involved if the tax rate remained at $4.02; $9.6 million which is the amount of funding the six-cent tax hike would create for schools; $635,000 which is all of the money the county gives in grants to nonprofit and private groups; and $7,500 which is the amount the commission spends on bringing in food for commissioners during the Monday meetings twice a month.
Three of the four amendments were made by commissioner Heidi Shafer. The administration of Shelby County Mayor Mark Luttrell estimated the $57.6 million budget cut would mean laying off 870 people. Chief Administrative Officer Harvey Kennedy said it would "decimate" county government.
"I'd like to know what economic philosophy or policy she's operating from," county commissioner Walter Bailey said of Shafer as the two sat next to each other. "I'd like to see something other than empty rhetoric. Political grandstanding is what I call it – pandering to the conservative public."
Bailey argued such cuts would move the county away from its basic mission.
"This proposed amendment doesn't take into account at all the health and welfare of the citizens of this county," he said. "That's what government has the basic responsibility of doing. Government operates as the collective will of the people, to care for their safety health and welfare."
Shafer argued county government does too much that nonprofits and other private groups should instead be doing, especially when county government delivering such services involves a property tax hike.
"I think it's interesting that a 15 percent cut in government is Draconian, but a 10 percent tax increase for the public is – that's all for the good," she replied to Bailey.
Commissioner Wyatt Bunker routinely votes against federal and state grants for social services programs he argues the county has no business providing even if the services are funded by the grants. And sometimes he is the only commissioner to vote no on the items.
This week he had more company in his belief that the added burden on taxpayers represents a "never ending cycle of destruction on our economy."
And Bunker questioned the political motivation of those on the other side of the issue.
"We have such a large population of poor people and they've elected people who have grown up in poverty situations, people who have come through government bureaucracies or whatever. And they are now making decisions," he said. "They have benefited from these programs and/or they never learned to manage money on their own. … We've got a bunch of people over here that have never had to or ever been able to manage their own personal business in charge of our county that handles several billion dollars."
Meanwhile, the one budget amendment and cut that did pass Monday cut $300,000 in county funding for Memphis-Shelby County Juvenile Court. The funding is part of a settlement among the county administration, the court and the U.S. Department of Justice over due process conditions in the court and would pay for monitors and consultants to the court.
Commissioner Henri Brooks argued that since the commission wasn't part of the agreement, it isn't obligated to approve the amount.
As a majority of votes on the 13-member body lined up for the move by Brooks some "no" votes switched. Such switches are an indication that those switching will try to move for reconsideration of the decision at the next commission meeting.

Here are some frequently asked questions about brain tumors:
The brain and spinal cord make up the central nervous system. The central nervous system controls everything we do. It controls the things we need to do, like talk, walk, and chew our food. It also does the things that need to be done for us, like control our breathing, heartbeat, and digestion. The brain sits in the bony skull. The spinal cord is surrounded by the vertebral column. These structures offer protection against the traumas of everyday life.
The brain is the center of these things and others:
How we feel, or emotion
How we think, or thought
How we remember, or memory
How we use our senses
It is made up of 3 main parts:
The cerebrum
The cerebellum
The brain stem
Brain tumors are tumors (abnormal growths of cells) that start in the brain. There are many types of tumors that can form in the brain. The type of brain tumor a person has depends on which cells have become abnormal. Brain tumors that happen in childhood are very different from those that happen in adulthood.
Primary brain tumors are tumors that start first in the brain. They are classified by the type of brain cell that makes up the tumor. The most common primary brain tumors are called gliomas. These begin in the glial, or supportive, tissue of the brain. There are many types of gliomas.
There are other types of primary brain tumors that do not start in the glial tissue.
Secondary brain tumors are also known as metastatic brain tumors. These are cancer cells that started growing in another organ, like the lung, breast, skin, or kidney, and then spread to the brain.
Risk factors are certain factors that increase the chance of a person getting cancer. In the case of brain tumors, there is no known strong risk factor. But some things may put people at higher risk:
Exposure to radiation, from nuclear accidents or from treatment for other tumors
Long-term exposure to certain chemicals, like vinyl chloride and petroleum products
Certain inherited genetic syndromes, like neurofibromatosis and Li-Fraumeni syndrome
Impairment of the immune system, as with AIDS. Most of the tumors linked to an immune system defect are primary central nervous system lymphomas.
Trauma is not considered a risk factor for brain tumors. Most people who get brain tumors do not have any known risk factors. And many people with known risk factors never get the disease.
These are the most common symptoms of a brain tumor:
Headaches. These can be worse in the morning and become less painful as the day goes on. About half of people with brain tumors complain of headaches.
Seizures, which are uncontrollable convulsions of the body
Nausea with or without vomiting. Vomiting is more typical in children.
Weakness or loss of feeling on 1 side of the body
Stumbling or inability to walk
Changes in vision or abnormal eye movements
Changes in personality, memory, and speech
Changes in alertness, from increased sleepiness to coma
Many people with brain tumors get a second opinion from another healthcare provider. There are many reasons to get a second opinion:
If the person is not comfortable with the treatment decision
If the type of tumor is rare
If there are different ways to treat the tumor
If the first healthcare provider is not a brain tumor expert
If your health insurance requires it
There are many ways to get a second opinion:
Ask a primary care healthcare provider. He or she may be able to suggest a specialist. This may be a neurosurgeon, neurologist, medical oncologist, or radiation oncologist. Sometimes these healthcare providers work together at cancer centers or hospitals. Never be afraid to ask for a second opinion.
Call the National Cancer Institute's Cancer Information Service. The number is 800-4-CANCER (800-422-6237). They have information about treatment facilities. These include cancer centers and other programs supported by the National Cancer Institute.
Seek other options. Check with a local medical society, a nearby hospital or medical school, or a support group to get names of healthcare providers who can give you a second opinion. Or ask other people who've had cancer for their recommendations.
Healthcare providers treat a brain tumor with these methods:
Radiation therapy
Chemotherapy or other medicines
A combination of these treatments
Clinical trials are studies of new kinds of cancer treatments. Healthcare providers use clinical trials to learn how well new treatments work and what their side effects are. Promising treatments are ones that work better or have fewer side effects than the current treatments. People who participate in these studies may get to use treatments before the FDA approves them for the general public. People who join trials also help researchers learn more about cancer and help future cancer patients.
There are different types of clinical trials. Clinical trials investigate new medicines, test out new ways of administering chemotherapy/radiation, or compare standard treatments with newer ones. They can be Phase I, Phase II or Phase III, depending on how far along in development the new treatment is and what the study is investigating. There are many sites where you can explore clinical trials. There may be so many that they are confusing. When looking at a trial, first see whether it is for your type of tumor, then whether it is for a tumor that is newly diagnosed or one that has returned. You can also ask members of your healthcare team if they can help you find a clinical trial that might be right for you.

'And they all with one consent began to make excuse.' Luke 14:18
Suggested Further Reading: Jonah 3:1–4:2
The doctrine of election is a great and precious truth, but it never can be a valid reason for a man's not believing in Christ. You are ill today, and the doctor comes; 'There,' says he, 'there is the medicine, I will guarantee if you take it, it will heal you.' You say, 'Sir, I would take it at once, but I do not know whether I am predestined to get over this fever. If I am predestined to live, why then, sir, I will take the medicine, but I must know first.' 'Ah!' says the doctor, 'I tell you what, if you do not take it, you are predestined to die.' And I will tell you this, if you will not believe in Jesus Christ, you will be damned, be you who you may, but you will not be able to lay it at predestination's door; it will lie at your own. A man has fallen overboard; a rope is thrown to him, but he says, 'I should like to grasp that rope, only I do not know whether I am predestined to be drowned.' Fool! he will go down to the bottom with a lie in his mouth. We do not say, 'I would sit down to dinner today, but I will not eat, because I do not know whether I am predestined to have any dinner today.' We do not talk so foolishly in common things, why then do we so in religion? When men are hard-up for an excuse, they are glad to run to the mysteries of God to use them as a veil to cover their faces. O my dear friends, you must know that though God has a chosen people, yet when he commands you to believe in Christ, his having a chosen people, or not having a chosen people cannot excuse you from obedience to the divine command: 'Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved.'
For meditation: The people of Nineveh used God's threat of judgment as a reason to repent and hope against hope for his forgiveness (Jonah 3:5,9). It is not surprising that on the Day of Judgment they will condemn those who have rejected Christ's forgiveness (Matthew 12:41) by disobeying the gospel command to repent and trust in him (Mark 1:15). Will the people of Nineveh have to condemn you?

text: Ugly Droughts April 2, 2013 09:01 PM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Jeanne Bernick Top Producer Editor Email How do recent droughts compare to 30 years ago? The drought that settled over more than half of the U.S. last summer was the most widespread in more than 50 years, and now a long dry winter has set up farmers for a nail-biting spring. Little in our lifetimes tops the 2012 drought disaster, which goes down as among the ten worst of the past century, according to a new report released by the National Climatic Data Center (NCDC). With records dating to 1895, NCDC's State of the Climate shows only the extraordinary droughts of the 1930s and 1950s covered more land area than the 2012 drought. By a slight margin, last summer's drought actually covered more land mass than the infamous 1936 drought. However, when areas classified as "moderate" drought are excluded, the historical rankings change, notes Elwynn Taylor, Iowa State University climatologist. Some droughts were extremely intense, but focused on specific regions rather than sprawling across large swaths of the country. For example, droughts in 1988, 2000 and 2002 included more than 35% of the U.S. in the "severe" to "extreme" drought categories on the Palmer Drought Severity Index. By comparison, severe to extreme drought covered 32.7% in June 2012. The drought of 30 years ago was no slouch. The 1983 Midwest drought was associated with very dry conditions, severe heat and substandard crop growth, which affected prices and caused hardship for farmers. Multiple disaster declarations went out in Indiana and neighboring states. Readings of 100° F and higher became prevalent in 1983 during these dry spells across the Midwest, Ohio Valley and Great Lakes regions. The heat waves killed 500 to 700 people. Heading into 2013. In an ironic end to a winter spent fretting about drought, late snows and heavy rains last month renewed the rising of Midwestern rivers. Current conditions show a change in deep soil moisture levels in the eastern U.S. Nevertheless, drought situations today will have more impact on food prices than 30 years ago, to the tune of about $3.4 billion during the next year or two, says Paul Walsh, a weather analyst for The Weather Company and The Weather Channel. "It has a huge impact, particularly on winter wheat and areas like Colorado," Walsh says. By March, Colorado had only seen 50% of its normal snowpack. "That affects agriculture dramatically because water from the snow pack services crops throughout the West." Apples-to-Apples Drought Comparison Difficult The Drought Monitor report debuted in 1999, and the period of detailed records began in January of 2000. One of the many inputs in the Drought Monitor report is the Palmer Drought Severity Index. This index, developed by meteorologist Wayne Palmer in the 1960s, uses mathematical equations incorporating precipitation and temperature data to estimate evaporation, runoff and soil moisture recharge. The National Climatic Data Center maintains a database of monthly Palmer drought indices dating to 1895. Because of this much longer period of record, the Palmer index can be used as more of an "apples to apples" comparison between recent weather conditions and those from past decades, at least on a meteorological basis. However, differences in land use and farming practices since the Dust Bowl make the comparison of real-world impacts more complicated. Erosion-control practices and drought-resistant crop hybrids are just two examples of ways in which modern agriculture attempts to mitigate the impacts of severe drought. Back to news

Having a Baby with Donor Egg or Donor Sperm
As a reproductive endocrinologist (and, therefore, a supposed expert on heredity), I'm often asked how much of a child's development and ultimate personality is a result of genetics (nature) and how much is a result of its environment (nurture). Typically, this question arises when dealing with patients contemplating using donor sperm or donor egg.
I don't have the answer to this question; it's one I, myself, have spent much time considering. I'm one of five children and I have four children of my own and, so far, three grandchildren. Though the environment and the genetics of my siblings and and my children doesn't appear to be so different, each of us has developed unique characters and personalities. Some are significantly different.
I think the nature vs. nuture question is like a Jackson Pollack painting. When you raise a child, different colors of nature and nurture are tossed randomly up in the air and what we call "life" dresses the canvas below. Sometimes the picture it creates is breathtakingly beautiful and other times you wish you could start with a new canvas.
Now, if you are a conscientious parent, then you are most careful about how and what colors of nurture you toss. With nature however, even with that which comes from you, there is no control.
So, I tell my patients who are screening donors and are so concerned that their donor has a particular color hair, eye color or even personality type, that they are putting too much faith in just one can of paint that they get to choose to toss up in the air. People with blue eyes and blonde hair have other colors from ancestors that randomly did not appear on their body. But their gametes contain them and these cans of paint will potentially have more impact on the canvas that the blue eyes and blonde hair that the recipient is hoping for.
The characteristics I prefer in a donor are healthy with good odds for successful conception and a generally appropriate mix of physical and behavioral characteristics to match the recipient.
Then I pray for G-d's blessing.
