The Wonder Women of Michigan Tech: What's Right About NCAA Basketball
By Marcia Goodrich | Published
Work harder than you can imagine, play harder than you ever dreamed. Draw a bead on an audacious goal. And then, come March 24, you just might find yourself competing in the NCAA Division II Elite Eight.
"This team is a very special one," said John Barnes, coach of Michigan Technological University's women's basketball team. "They are very focused, not only on the court, but also in the classroom.
"That goes hand in hand with the institution of Michigan Tech," he added. "You have to be a special person, and you have to work hard, but if you do, you will succeed."
The Huskies trounced the University of Indianapolis Monday, March 16, to win the Midwest Regional Championship, capping a spectacular 27-6 season and earning the right to compete in San Antonio, Texas. While the limelight may be shining on this year's team, its foundation was laid 20 years ago. Then, former coach Kevin Borseth, now at the University of Michigan, began luring talented players to the University with the promise of a great education as well as the chance to play great basketball.
"Since 1987-88, we haven't had a losing season," said Wes Frahm, director of athletic communications and marketing. "We've made 14 trips to the NCAA Midwest Regional Tournament and won 75 percent of our games, but this is only the second time we've broken through the regional rounds."
College sport is rife with sorry tales of athletes who make the grade on the field and fail in the classroom. Tech's women's basketball team, on the other hand, boasts the second-highest grade point average in the nation at 3.64, and Barnes is grateful for that level of intellect at every practice. "They are very smart—they take instruction well. You don't have to tell them something twice," he said. "And their GPA shows their commitment to school, to their education first and foremost."
Success does have a price. "It's hard for them to have a normal college life," said Barnes. Smarting from a 2008 defeat in the first round of the NCAA Regional, the team vowed not to let it happen the next year. "They made a big commitment," Barnes said, "and I am so proud of them. It has turned them into great students, great players, and great people."
Michigan Tech President Glenn D. Mroz remembers meeting with the team over dinner, before the season began. "They said they were headed to a national championship, and they never doubted it for a minute."
Mroz, who rarely misses a game, cited their mutual dedication as a key factor in their success. "Any single person on the team can ignite the rest of them on a moment's notice," he said. "It is a selfless group. That's a life skill, a life lesson, and I bet all these women will be CEOs of something someday."
"Academics are very important to us, and the coach places a big emphasis on how well we do in the classroom," said team captain Sarah Stream, who owns a 4.0 grade point average in a double major. "It's tough, with traveling, but you really learn to manage your time and set priorities. Out team does an amazing job of excelling in class and on the court."
She credits a work ethic that just won't quit. "It's in all aspects of ourselves. I think we try as hard as we can at whatever we do, which sets us apart from other teams."
As for the University, "I love going to Michigan Tech," Stream said. "Everyone accepts you for who you are. You can be yourself. It's challenging, but when you leave here, you'll have a great education. That's why we picked Michigan Tech."
She is happy to be sharing some of the team's excitement with their supporters. "This whole experience has been a great opportunity, and we're thankful that we have a chance to be a part of it all. At Michigan Tech, we have some of the best fans around. We want to thank everyone for that.
"We want to win it for them. We want to keep it going."
They have already won in the eyes of many. "I'm just so proud; they are the epitome of scholar-athletes," said Mroz. "Many teams have good three-pointers. At Michigan Tech, we have great four-pointers."

Listen to this article
A short walk from Yangon's notorious Insein prison, where Myanmar's military junta jailed and tortured political prisoners, lies the Eden Centre for Disabled Children. Its little courtyard and few surrounding buildings are among the only facilities in the country for young people with physical and learning difficulties.
On improvised slalom courses made from cushions and wooden benches, those with cerebral palsy, Down's syndrome and muscular dystrophy are taught to improve their motor skills. Teachers provide basic education for those with learning difficulties. They also counsel parents worried about what will happen when their children grow up, given Myanmar's lack of social security and scant job prospects for disabled people.
"I am trying to learn more about advanced techniques," says Lilian Gyi, director of the school, whose training in Germany 35 years ago makes her the country's only expert in special education.
The Eden Centre is a small reminder of how deprived Myanmar's people have been left by years of military rule and poor economic management. However, it also stands as a symbol of how the shift towards democracy that began 18 months ago could have a profound impact in unexpected areas of national life.
Since the junta led by Than Shwe ceded power to an elected government last March, the country has changed in remarkable and often unanticipated ways. Initially dismissed as a continuation of military government in disguise, the new administration led by President Thein Sein has unleashed a barrage of changes. Political prisoners have been released, press censorship abolished, free by-elections held and progressive laws passed. The president is regularly compared to F. W. de Klerk, the South African leader who helped to dismantle apartheid.
U Soe Thane, a former head of the navy who is now a senior minister and trusted adviser to Mr Thein Sein, says Myanmar's leaders have become convinced that democracy is the best method of improving meagre living standards. "After just a year and a half, we are doing clean government, good government," he says.
The west has responded by easing sanctions and setting up diplomatic missions. Part of the generals' motivation to change was concern about becoming too dependent on China. In November, in a sign of just how rapid the rapprochement has been, Barack Obama became the first US president to visit Myanmar, delivering a speech in which he paid tribute to the country's "dramatic transition".
The Eden Centre, too, has noticed the difference. Until recently, says Tha Uke, a physiotherapist, its work was couched in the language of charity. Now the school, founded in 2000, talks in terms that were taboo under the generals: "We are changing . . . to a rights-based approach," he says. The government recently ratified the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. Under a disability law being drafted, there could be funding for disability projects as well as tax breaks for companies hiring disabled workers. "We've been praying for something like this to happen for 20 years," says Mr Tha Uke.
Myanmar's almost miraculous transformation is encouraging people to test boundaries in other areas as well. At Yangon Film School in the former capital city, students are working out what kind of documentaries they can make – and possibly broadcast – in a country that previously banned anything with even the most oblique political content.
Ma Cho Pyone, a shy 32-year-old from Shan state in the country's northeast, recently shot a film depicting the lives of people working and living in a crumbling colonial building in central Yangon. The work, tackling sensitive topics, has not yet been shown in Myanmar, where the dismantling of censorship for broadcasters has been slower than for print media. In one scene, for example, the camera pans over rats in a gutter. The junta banned images of anything showing the country as dirty or poor. There are also interviews with illegal squatters and a scene in which a woman complains about government corruption. "We are still very afraid of censorship so our mind is not yet set free," says another of the school's budding directors, who wants filmmakers to be more daring.
A sense of new possibilities is everywhere. In the Irrawaddy Delta, a poor region southwest of Yangon that was devastated by Cyclone Nargis in 2008, more aid money is getting through as western governments re-engage. Myanmar used to be known as the "orphan of aid" – until recently sanctions meant many agencies, banned by their governments from offering development aid, were limited to providing emergency relief. Now aid pledges are rolling in and the country has become a magnet for new development projects. In the two years to the end of 2013, the European Commission alone plans to pour in $150m– nearly as much as it donated in the previous 20 years.
In Yangon, too, where hotels are perpetually full with visiting trade missions and would-be investors, there is an air of expectation. Alisher Ali, chairman of Silk Road Finance, has just closed a $25m fund to invest in start-up companies. Mr Ali, who specialises in frontier markets such as Kazakhstan and Mongolia, says: "I am quite impressed with the quality of young entrepreneurs. Many of them are recent returnees."
There are also plans to start a proper stock market (the existing one has only two listed stocks) and to implement a recently passed law relaxing foreign investment restrictions. Coca-Cola, Nestlé and General Electric have all announced supply and distribution deals, though few companies have yet committed to big fixed asset investments.
"We are in a new era and we have momentum moving forward," says Soe Yin, former rector of Yangon university. Andreas List, who heads the EU office that opened in Yangon in April, agrees. "It will be difficult to go back to policy habits of the past. The genie is out of the bottle."
Yet, amid all the justified excitement, Myanmar faces several obstacles to a transition to economically successful democracy.
The most important is the risk of ethnic conflict, which has plagued the country since independence from the British in 1948. There are plausible fears that, without the junta, the nation could break up like Yugoslavia after the death of Marshal Tito. The population is split into 135 ethnic groups, many speaking mutually unintelligible languages and practising religions other than the Buddhism of the majority Burmans. Since independence, the army has fought border wars with groups such as the Kachin, Shan and Karen, which have pressed for greater autonomy or independence. This has cost thousands of lives and left hundreds of thousands displaced or exiled, says Benedict Rogers, a human-rights activist.
Ceasefires have been signed with more than 20 armed groups, raising hopes that the government can negotiate a lasting peace. But one long-dormant conflict, with the Kachin in the north, has restarted. Even where fighting has stopped there is no political settlement. "The ceasefires that exist are fragile and preliminary," says Mr Rogers, calling them a "pause" rather than a "full stop". Meanwhile, violence has broken out in the western state of Rakhine between the Buddhist majority and local Muslims. The army is trying, with limited success, to keep the peace. At least 170 people, mainly Muslims, have been killed and more than 100,000 burnt out of their villages.
Aung Min, a retired major general now in charge of peace negotiations, says the government is determined to progress beyond ceasefires towards nation-building. It is "willing to discuss federalism, which was taboo for 20 years", he says. But suspicion still runs deep and the chance of resumed fighting is not negligible. "Ethnic peace is the key for this country," says the EU's Mr List. "The government's legitimacy will depend on stabilising the ethnic situation."
The second obstacle is a lack of infrastructure and training. The Eden Centre's Ms Gyi, the lone special education expert, is evidence of an undertrained population. Years of isolation have left a lack of experts in finance, public administration and law. A priority of multilateral bodies is to help train a vanguard of technocrats.
Physical infrastructure, too, is lacking. The patchy mobile network needs overhauling and the financial system is primitive. Transferring money is cumbersome at best. Last month, the talk of Yangon's foreign community was the installation of an automatic cash dispenser at the airport. Electricity shortages are common, hampering the operations of the few foreign factories brave enough to set up shop.
The third area that needs careful handling is the transition to full democracy. The government, though it has shown democratic instincts, is filled with military men. One explained earnestly why it remained necessary on security grounds to ban motorbikes in Yangon.
New freedoms present opportunities but also challenges for the government in dealing with emergent protest movements. Labour unions, banned under the junta, are testing their strength. Last week, security forces used tear gas and incendiary devices to crack down on villagers and Buddhist monks occupying the country's biggest copper mine. Protesters say the development of the mine, partly Chinese owned, has been accompanied by land expropriation and environmental damage. The government has launched an investigation, led by Aung San Suu Kyi, into the official response. The potential for further protest and violence around land and environmental issues is significant.
Nor is it clear how ready the government is to tolerate the presidential ambitions of Ms Suu Kyi, icon of the opposition for more than two decades. Released from house arrest in 2010 and elected as an MP this year, she is barred from seeking the presidency because she was married to a foreigner. The constitution cannot be changed without military agreement. But if Ms Suu Kyi's National League for Democracy wins 2015 general elections, held under current rules, this could create an unstoppable momentum for constitutional reform.
Members of the new government say they are the vehicle of, not the obstacle to, further democratic reform. Mr Soe Thane says Myanmar has moved faster in this direction than any country in modern times. "We are," he says, "trying to achieve something in world history that nobody else has achieved."

It may not have happened in our backyard, a lot may think it is none of our concern in Canada … but the Newtown CT issue has raised one very wonderful campaign that I believe the whole world should take part in.
#26Acts (a twitter hash tag) is encouraging all people to commit to do 26 acts of random kindness toward our fellows in honour of those who lost their lives.
I made a personal commitment to do this before New Year's and I was able to complete that mission today. Personally, it made my heart smile.
Nothing can bring back those people's lives, but 26 random acts of kindness, especially if those who receive one can pay it forward, then I believe our world will become a much more compassionate, inclusive place with (let's all hope) less violence in it.
Thank you to NBC's Ann Curry for starting this movement. I hope it changes everyone's lives for the better, it did for me.

By Shawn Langlois
"All-time high" is the "we should talk" of the stock market. Three words that sound just fine at first, but ultimately lead to sweaty palms and shortness of breath.
In the former's case, the anxiety is mostly unfounded. Good to know, considering the S&P 500 /quotes/zigman/3870025/realtime SPX is on the verge of another, yes, all-time high. In fact, there's a good chance it'll happen today. Or at least on Friday, if Janet Yellen cooperates.
We should be used to highs by now. A few weeks ago, the S&P notched its 26th record this year alone. Not much excitement though. Instead, just mushrooming clouds of doom and gloom. Look no further than our call of the day.
The thing is, the market spits out new highs a whole lot more often than you might think. As in, one out of every 15 closes dating back to 1950. That's about twice a month since the year Stevie Wonder was born. A total of more than 1,100 new all-time closing highs in just 64 years, according to Ben Carlson, who tackled the topic in his deep statistical dive on the "Wealth of Common Sense" blog.
Basically, just because the S&P is breaking into new territory, doesn't mean it's toppling over. It will, of course, but those frozen in the fear of new highs have missed out on spectacular gains already. Hedge your bets. Take some gains off the table. Add to your cash. Take a vacation. All of the above. Sure.
Just don't get all queasy over another all-time high.
"There are any number of reasons for stocks to decline," Carlson wrote. "But stocks don't have to crash merely because they hit all-time highs. It's perfectly normal."
Or as financial advisor Nick Murray once explained: "If you think the market's 'too high' wait 'til you see it 20 years from now."
Still scared? We should talk.
Key market gauges: Stocks are poised to make another push, with futures on the Dow /quotes/zigman/21588489/delayed YMU4 and the S&P /quotes/zigman/20258909/delayed ESU4 leaning higher. The Nikkei /quotes/zigman/5986735/delayed JP:NIK was a bright spot in an otherwise lackluster session in Asia /quotes/zigman/6959860/realtime XX:ADOW , while Europe /quotes/zigman/2380150/delayed XX:SXXP is waffling early.
Gold /quotes/zigman/635641/delayed GCZ4 is worth watching too.Prices are feeling some overnight pressure. Read "Metals Stocks" to see why and how bad it is.
The quote of the day: "Go kill ISIS and leave us alone." — The man in the tweeted photo below, protesting in Ferguson, Missouri.
The economy: Today's slate of data isn't just some stepping stone toward tomorrow's Janet Yellen dove-fest. There's some meat to it. Initial weekly unemployment claims showed a fall of 14,000, a sign that once again layoffs remain at a post-recession low. Existing-home sales and the Philly Fed manufacturing survey are coming up at 10:00 a.m. Eastern.
Earnings: "Still faces challenges", was all Meg Whitman had to say to keep the pressure on Hewlett-Packard /quotes/zigman/229301/delayed /quotes/zigman/229301/lastsale HPQ . Shares are off about 1%. Semtech /quotes/zigman/77847/delayed /quotes/zigman/77847/lastsale SMTC and L Brands /quotes/zigman/14920973/delayed /quotes/zigman/14920973/lastsale LB are both in the green after their results.
Stage Stores /quotes/zigman/290453/delayed /quotes/zigman/290453/lastsale SSI shares are down 7.6% after profit missed estimates and its outlook was cut.
Gap /quotes/zigman/227242/delayed /quotes/zigman/227242/lastsale GPS is the biggest name on the afternoon earnings docket.
The buzz: Kindred Biosciences /quotes/zigman/24582849/delayed /quotes/zigman/24582849/lastsale KIN is getting obliterated this morning, down more than 30%, after the veterinary biotech said a clinical trial studying a drug treatment for osteoarthritis in dogs did not meet its primary endpoint.
Family Dollar /quotes/zigman/226252/delayed /quotes/zigman/226252/lastsale FDO rejects a $9 billion takeover offer from Dollar General /quotes/zigman/575788/delayed /quotes/zigman/575788/lastsale DG , pointing the finger at antitrust concerns and says it's all-in with Dollar Tree /quotes/zigman/109619/delayed /quotes/zigman/109619/lastsale DLTR . Dollar Tree and Dollar General are both down over 1%, while Family Dollar is not doing much.
Hertz's /quotes/zigman/439823/delayed /quotes/zigman/439823/lastsale HTZ time in the spotlight isn't over yet, thanks to Carl Icahn. The stock, beaten up because the company pulled earnings guidance, rebounded after the activist investor disclosed an 8.48% stake. Icahn said shares are undervalued and he plans to seek a meeting with management. Hertz is up early.
Another record high for Apple /quotes/zigman/68270/delayed /quotes/zigman/68270/lastsale AAPL and probably more on the way as we head toward September 9. The stock is giving up a couple of cents premarket, but when a product unveil is on the way, downdrafts don't seem to last long.
The chart(s) of the day: Call it technical analysis for dummies. Greg Guenthner of the "Daily Reckoning" blog recognizes "most folks see technical traders as lucky market magicians," dismissing it as witchcraft.. "We're only human — and most of us desire predictability and absolutes above all else," he said. "It's no wonder so many investors have trouble shaking the buy-and-hold philosophy that has shaped their investing worldview." With that, however, he offers a quick lesson in charting that even the fundamentals-driven investors should incorporate.
"If you open your mind and apply technical indicators to your fundamental ideas, I promise you'll begin to rake in the profits that were once so elusive," he said.
Here are the same two charts, with the first showing where you should be looking to buy a stock, and the second where you should sell. Seems simple and, well, it is, but that doesn't mean it isn't effective. Read the whole post.
The call of the day: I click through countless bubble calls each night. Almost for sport. Only the most colorful will do at this point. Like this from John Embry, chief investment strategist at Sprott Asset Management. "With the global economy now weakening virtually everywhere, this bubble-mania has a limited shelf life," he warned. "And when it comes crashing down, it's going to create a human tragedy of epic proportions." Now THAT is how to drop a doom call. Of course, he's a gold bug, and they tend to get a little dramatic. "Everybody knows timing is important, but I think in this instance you can be very early in positioning yourself for the outcomes," he said. "However, you can't be late." Read his whole piece on King World News.

If there's one thing our audience knows is that those with Nokia Lumias tend to be…loyal. It's not hard to imagine why as there is something quite unique and satisfying when handling a Nokia phone, especially their high-end polycarbonate ones like the 800, 900 or their best yet the Lumia 920.
One of our forum members, Nisse Tuta, has gone ahead and made a gorgeous video review of his beloved 920 and it is hands down one of the nicest tributes we've seen. Nisse was also behind the other recent video showing off the 920's wireless charging capability, a video that was also highly enjoyable and entertaining.
As the video notes, let's cue the music and get the shallowest depth of field possible, because this is the Lumia 920. Not just a phone but art. Head into our forums for more to ask questions, learn new tricks or to just have fun.

Yes, the new method of adding headers to the default set works for all applications that want to add extra headers to a HTTP request or response. A This seems to be a more generic way of adding extra headers. Remember that (almost) all commonly used headers can be controlled by setting the bitflags in the request object. The bitflags are controlled by the methods HTRequest_setXXHd() which you can find in HTReq.html. The APIs provided by the HTHeader module allows you to both generate and pass extra headers. > I have tried in the HTPostCallBack > > anchor = HTRequest_anchor(request); > HTRequest_setEnHd(request, 0); > HTAnchor_addExtra(anchor, headers_ndwpbps); > HTAnchor_setHeaderParsed(anchor); > > which does'nt seem to get the POST data right. The HTHeader interface only addresses headers - as you rightly says, it doesn't work for body messages. However, you should be able to use the HTPostCallback() function which is a part of the request object. When a request is generated, the HTTP client module (HTTP.c) looks for whether there is a post callback function registered and in case there is, this function is called in order to produce an output to the network. This is infact exactly the same method as if you are a client app that wants to post data from memory, for example after the user has written a document to post or filled out a form. Let me know how it works out! Henrik

Street Address:
Phrases used to describe Cynthia Ham at the Thursday, Jan. 24, American Advertising Federation Memphis meeting included "the Memphis enthusiast," "the art-aholic," "the hostess/entertainer," "a local celebrity" and even "a pushy broad."
That's because Ham, former 15-year chief public relations officer at archer-malmo and now president and CEO of BRIDGES, was the 2013 recipient of AAF Memphis' Silver Medal award – the highest recognition the advertising organization presents to one of its own each year.
"I am just truly shocked and amazed actually," Ham said. "I never even thought of myself as a potential nominee even for this – I didn't know that PR counted. I so appreciate this and the recognition coming from all of you creative folks just means so, so much."
Before that acceptance speech, a brief video was presented to the roomful of the city's creative executives at the Holiday Inn University of Memphis chronicling the life and accomplishments of the visionary marketer and Downtown influencer.
Ham grew up in Parkway Village with her mother, an English professor, and father, who served in the armed forces. She would go onto obtain a journalism, advertising and PR degree from the University of Memphis, where she was business manager with The Daily Helmsman and also introduced to John Malmo when he lectured in her Advertising 101.
After college, Ham became Libertyland's first sales director before working as advertising and promotions manager for Opryland USA. Malmo then recommended her as the first marketing director of Mud Island, where she later became the park's second general manager in the early 1980s – a time when Downtown was a shadow of its present self.
Ham's next profession was with the Beale Street Historic District as vice president of marketing. The entertainment district was only 15 percent leased at the time, but Ham organized events and experiential marketing to attract crowds.
Her next stop was in 1987 at Memphis in May International Festival, where she spent 10 years as its executive director, converting the Beale Street Music Festival into the massive operation that it's known as today. During Ham's stint at Memphis in May is also when she married board member Jeff Sanford.
"Prior to Cynthia's arrival, Memphis in May was nearly dead," the video explained. "Due to her innovation, the festival still has an enormous economic and cultural impact on the city."
Ham left Memphis in May after its 20th anniversary. While doing some freelance work, she was asked by Ward Archer to come head archer-malmo's PR department. She stayed there for 15 years, and was among the group of principals that purchased the agency from its founders in 2001.
It was during her tenure at archer-malmo when Ham worked with local and national clients like Terminix, AutoZone Corp., Medtronic Inc., Colgate-Palmolive, Norfolk Southern Corp. and Verizon. She oversaw and grew the PR team's service offerings like media relations, international communication, crisis management, and strategic philanthropy – and launched archer-malmo's experiential marketing practice.
Ham also created a course called Memphis 101 as a way to bring new executive commerce to the city while also building relationships with those who have lived in Memphis for years. Originally developed as a new business tool for archer-malmo, Memphis 101 was eventually integrated into the Leadership Academy's curriculum.
"I had a glorious 15 years at archer-malmo working with my partners and with the PR and experiential teams," Ham said.
In 2012, Ham left the city's oldest and largest advertising agency to become president and CEO of BRIDGES, a 91-year-old local nonprofit known for its leadership work with thousands of Mid-South youth.
Outside of her professional life, Ham has been involved in civic affairs such as chairing the openings of Central Station, the South Main Arts Festival and the Cannon Center of Performing Arts. She even played an integral role in bringing the Memphis Grizzlies to town.
Boards that Ham serves or has served on include Beale Street Caravan, the National Civil Rights Museum, the Women's Foundation, Methodist Health Systems, Concerts International, Urban Art, Memphis Rotary Club, the Memphis Development Foundation, and the Memphis Convention and Visitor's Bureau. Additionally, Ham is a member of the International Women's Forum.
The AAF Silver Medal comes after other honors Ham has received like the University of Memphis' Outstanding Journalism Alumni Award in 1999 and Downtown Memphis Commission's Lifetime Achievement Award in 2011 – a co-recognition she shared with her husband, who served as the redevelopment organization's president for 12 years prior.
Ham was lured to Thursday's presentation under the impression that her former partner and CEO of archer-malmo, Russ Williams, was the Silver Medal recipient.
"Incredible achievements," Williams said of Ham. "I'm inspired by them, and I hope everybody in the room is inspired."
Ham is the eighth archer-malmo employee or alumni to win Silver Medal. Past honorees are Ward Archer Sr., Joan White, John Malmo, Ward Archer Jr., Ed Bailey, Michael Thompson and Linda Roberts.
"Malmo said an interesting thing that didn't make the video, but I thought it was great," said archer-malmo chief creative officer Gary Backaus. "He said, 'I've never seen anybody that was able to change their career at will and be successful in each successive outing more than the previous one.'"

Mainsail Partners
We are a private equity company focused on partnering with brilliant entrepreneurs and investing in fast-growing, privately held companies. Our company's name, Mainsail Partners, is a reference to the mainsail of a sailboat, providing the force behind forward movement and direction of the boat (obviously the metaphor for Mainsail's support of the companies we invest in).
Entrepreneurs and company owners of privately held companies.
Our logo (attached) uses the image of a mainsail of a sailboat. We are looking for a complimentary icon which can be used on our website and printed collateral to convey that Mainsail is "a great partner for entrepreneurs and company owners". It should not be a competing metaphor. The image should fit within the color palette of our website and should ultimately be delivered in pdf format. This is a creative exercise, not a technical one. We are looking for a great idea of an image or icon to communicate "partnership".

The Kushan Empire was a relatively short-lived empire that controlled a vast area from the eastern shores of the Caspian Sea across the north and east of modern Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan and much of the Ganges valley in northern India. From the last years of the first century A.D. to its disintegration in the first half of the 3rd, it controlled all the land trade routes between the Mediterranean, then under the Romans - at the height of their power - and China.
The Kushans were an Indo-European people, part of the central Asian Tokhari confederation of tribes, and moved into the then Hellenistic lands of Bactria in northern Iran in the century before Christ. They found themselves up against the Parthians, and turned towards the more lucrative east. By the second half of the 2nd century A.D. they were in India, which was to become their cultural base.
They did not last long. Like the Parthians. they were defeated by the Sassanians, who were to rule most of south-west Asia from the first half of the 3rd century for the next 400 years.

After Collmenter falters early, 'pen digs deeper hole

MIAMI -- Josh Collmenter's last start was wiped out by rain as if it never existed.

The Marlins scored four runs off Collmenter in the opening frame as they beat the D-backs, 10-3, to take three out of four in the series at Marlins Park.
"He didn't seem to have his good stuff today at all," D-backs manager Kirk Gibson said. "He struggled, his velocity was way down. He really didn't have it today."
Collmenter (8-7) started against the Tribe on Tuesday night in Cleveland, and after three innings, that game was postponed due to rain. Since it had not gone at least five innings, it was restarted the next day.
There would be no do-over Sunday.
"I felt fine, just everything was a little flat and the pitches didn't do what they were supposed to do, and I think that's why they hit them out of the park," Collmenter said.
The Marlins got a double from Christian Yelich to start things off for them and Jeff Baker followed with a walk.
Giancarlo Stanton quickly cleared the bases with a home run to left -- his 32nd of the year -- to give Miami a 3-0 lead. It was the first homer the D-backs had allowed to Stanton this year.
One out later, Garrett Jones homered to right to push the Marlins' advantage to 4-0.
Collmenter threw 92 innings out of the bullpen last year and is already at 129 1/3 this year after being thrust into the rotation in April.
Considering Collmenter's velocity was also down in the first inning, the question is whether the added workload this year might be too much.
"There's a lot of reasons why guys' velocities vary from start to start," pitching coach Mike Harkey said. "He's working on 130 innings. He hasn't done that in a couple of years. We're going to have to reevaluate if it's something going forward that we need to be concerned about. We'll figure it out. He says he feels good."
Collmenter did not blame the workload for his performance, but he also did not rule out the role it could play in his velocity being down.
"I haven't thrown this many innings in over a year, so it could be," Collmenter said. "But I try to do everything to be ready to throw a lot of innings, whether it's out of the 'pen or as a starter. It could have something to do with it -- I'm not so sure."
Gibson said the team will have discussions about whether to make any changes with Collmenter, but that skipping one of his starts or moving him out of the rotation are not options at this point.
"He just didn't seem to be himself today," Gibson said. "He said he was just a little sluggish and didn't throw the ball like he can. We'll have more conversations, and maybe we'll adjust his routine in between and freshen him up."
Said Harkey: "We're going to evaluate it soon. We don't know if it's fatigue or just a bad day. There's been a couple of outings where he's struggled early in a game and ended up giving us six or seven innings. He just didn't have it today. We're don't want to hurt anybody. But if he says he feels good, you're usually not going to make a determination on one start. We'll have to look at a few of them and see what happens."
After the Marlins pushed the lead to 5-0, the D-backs' offense finally broke through against right-hander Tom Koehler in the sixth. Mark Trumbo drove home a run with a double to center and Jake Lamb capped the inning with an RBI single to pull the D-backs to 5-2.
The Arizona bullpen, however, was not able to keep things close, as the Marlins battered Randall Delgado for five runs in the seventh.
"Got within 5-2, and then Randall came in and the wheels came off," Gibson said. "He's been throwing the ball good for us, but we let that inning get away and didn't play particularly well again today. You get five runs, we chip away, we got two and you're at least in the picture, but you've got to hold them and we didn't do that."

TB scars and cancer
My mother developed TB a couple of years ago but had the treatment and later on was told she was ok. 1-Is TB cuarable? 2-What are the chances of her getting TB again? 3-Can she get cancer?
As I said, she was told that she was ok, she felt good for a while but has never been able to get rid of the cough. Right now she is still going to the doctor. She seams to get pneumonia very easily. Just about a mont ago, she had some lab work done for TB and was negative. The only bacteria that was found was streptococus alpha h. She is going to a doctor that specializes on pneumonia cases, but I wish I had a better idea of what type of doctor she really needs to go to. Please help.
Tuberculosis is caused by a bacteria called Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Like most bacteria, M. tuberculosis can be cured with specific antibiotics taken for an extended duration. The duration of treatment is typically 6 months, but it can be longer or shorter based on the specific strain of the organism, the parts of the body that it infected, the exact medications used in its treatment, and the underlying health status of the person who is infected.
While the organisms may not be completely eradicated for some time, persons generally feel markedly improved after a few weeks of treatment. If the illness is diagnosed and treated early in its development, an excellent prognosis may be achieved. However, if the diagnosis and treatment are not started early enough, severe scarring and fibrosis of the lung (and other organs if infected) may develop. These changes in the lung are irreversible, putting the patient at risk for recurrent problems (including pneumonia) over the remainder of their life.
While tuberculosis can be completely eradicated, it also can recur, and new infections can develop. The PPD skin test is currently the easiest way to determine if anyone has ever been infected with tuberculosis. However, those who have had tuberculosis in the past should not have a PPD placed to check for recurrence or a new infection as the test is likely to always be positive regardless of if they are currently infected or not. Instead, a chest x-ray compared to ones that have been taken in the past is the best initial test. If there is further concern than the patient's sputum should be tested for the presence of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis organism.
It has been reported for some time that those with prior tuberculosis were at risk for the development of lung cancer. However, these studies may be confounded by the fact that the destruction of the lung and the subsequent scarring that develops from a severe tuberculosis infection makes it difficult for physicians to determine if lung cancer is present on a chest x-ray or even a CT scan. The biggest risk factor for lung cancer remains tobacco exposure. Certainly patients with severe scarring from old tuberculosis and significant tobacco exposure should be seen regularly by a physician to ensure that any changes that develop on chest x-ray are promptly evaluated. Decreasing exposure to tobacco (both first- and second- hand) remains the best means to decrease the lung cancer risk.

Fatto A Mano
"Fatto a Mano" combines the sophistication of hand-made glass in the style of the ancient Venetian tradition with the very latest 21st century glass making technology, using fully automated machine-blown techniques. The ancient, colorful Venetian glass making tradition inspired and ignited the thought process and lead the way towards the required design, where the stem and base would be made by hand and the bowl blown by machine.
Frequently asked questions
All current produced items are made of crystal glass and lead free.
For a perfect result:
- Wash under warm water, detergent is not necessary.
- Place on line to drain for the time begin.
- For extra shine, steam over boiling water.
To polish use microfiber polishing cloths: Hold glass by base and polish. Use left hand to cradle the bowl and polish with your right hand. Never twist the base and bowl.
To avoid scratches: Avoid contact with other glass or metal. lf available use a stemware rack.
To avoid stains: Use soft water (low mineral content).
To remove stains: Use white vinegar.
We do not have measurements to offer on each glass in regards to the thinness of the lip, but all RIEDEL glasses are beautiful thin blown crystal. Our rims are "cut", which allows the wine to flow smoothly onto the tongue vs. being "rolled" which obstructs the smooth flow of the wine which accentuates acidity and harshness.

UCLA Anderson professor Uday S. Karmarkar and Vandana Mangal, associate research director of UCLA Anderson's Business and Information Technologies (BIT) Global Research Network, have co-edited a new book entitled, The Business and Information Technologies (BIT) Project: A Global Study of Business Practice. The book was published in February by World Scientific Publishing Company.
The book provides a global view of what is happening across the economic landscape as a result of rapid and ongoing developments in information technology. This unique and comparative picture of technology and business practices around the world is drawn from data gathered during annual surveys conducted by the BIT Project and partner institutions since 2004-05. The core survey has now been translated from English into Spanish, Italian, French, Chinese and German.
The book includes reports from the United States, Italy, India, South Korea and Spain. "Trends in information technology adoption vary from country to country," says Vandana Mangal. "There can be a lag between the introduction of a new technology in the United States and the time at which it is broadly adopted around the world," she says.
Mangal also notes that new information technologies are sometimes hyped upon introduction, as when radio-frequency identification (RFID) was mandated by Wal-Mart and the U.S. Department of Defense. However, RFID technology was not by widely adopted for several years.
"We are also finding that organizations in the United States are continuing to become flatter," says Mangal. The study suggests that technology is being used increasingly to support interaction and collaboration between partners, peers, vendors and suppliers. It is also providing new ways for firms to communicate with customers.
Mangal says that information technology is also contributing to an evolution in organizational structures. "Technology is enabling U.S. firms to become virtual and more geographically dispersed," she says.
The report suggests that some countries are slightly behind the United States in adopting new technologies - but appear to be following the same path. "Some of the things we saw in the United States in the first year, we did not see in Italy and India," says Mangal. "But we have seen similar things happen in subsequent years."
Some of these differences are associated with language barriers. "For example," says Mangal, "Italy is linguistically somewhat secluded since Italian is not widely spoken in other countries while several countries across the globe speak English and several speak Spanish. So countries with shared languages can work together as is seen in outsourcing from the U.S. and Britain to India."
The impact of information technology on business practices has been the central topic for the Business and Information Technologies Global Research Network. The BIT initiative, led by Karmarkar and Mangal, now helps to coordinate research projects in 15 countries. Some partnering institutions include SDA Bocconi and the Politecnico di Torino in Italy, IITB and ISB in India, IESE in Barcelona Spain, Universidad Catolica in Chile, Humboldt University and ESMT in Berlin, Germany.
"We hope to publish one book every year," says Mangal. "So next year we would have reports from more partners. And we would also have comparative studies looking at data from different countries." The next edition will include data from 2005-06.
While this book is primarily intended for an academic audience, it will be valuable to anyone seeking to understand global trends in business uses of information technology. "We hope it will make people aware of what is going on in terms of technology impacting businesses," says Mangal. "We also hope that it addresses the bigger picture of service industrialization. Service sector jobs are changing and the number of jobs is going down. What kinds of service jobs will be available over the next five to ten years? That's the bigger picture."

Uncovering the Lagrangian template of the stirring on the Martha's Vineyard inner-shelf using a combination of surface drifters, high-resolution HF radar systems, and techniques from the dynamical systems theory
Irina Rypina, Physical Oceanography
Funded Project 2010:
Stirring and water mass exchange processes that occur across the inner part of the continental shelf maintain the balance between the near-shore ocean circulation and the larger coastal ocean off-shore. These processes have a major influence on the sediment distribution, nutrients concentrations, and the hydrographic structure of the inner shelf. However, the spatially-variable, depth-dependent dynamics of the inner shelf is exceptionally complex, which makes it difficult to characterize and quantify inner shelf water mass exchanges using conventional techniques. Dynamical systems theory (which lies halfway between the deterministic and the stochastic description of the flow) provides a way to reduce this complexity by picking out specific structures from the body of complicated underlying fluid parcel motions, which guide water dispersal over time. These structures, which are called Lagrangian Coherent Structures (LCSs), form a natural template (sometimes referred to as a "Lagrangian skeleton") for stirring in the ocean. LCSs can be used to map out transport pathways and barriers, and to identify regions with enhanced or inhibited stirring.
This proposal requests funds to study water mass exchange processes that occur on the inner shelf south from Martha's Vineyard. I plan to perform both conventional and dynamical systems analysis of: 1) velocity fields measured by the high-resolution HF radar system (installed recently by WHOI at the Martha's Vineyard Coastal Observatory (MVCO)); and 2) a set of 100 measured near-surface drifter tracks (purchased using my WHOI startup funds and deployed near MVCO using a companion Access to the Sea proposal). The dynamical systems analysis will focus on uncovering the Lagrangian template of stirring comprised of LCSs. The comparison between the radar-based estimates of LCSs (that are limited by the radar's spatial and temporal resolution) and the drifter-based estimates (that do not have these limitations but instead are limited by the duration of drifter tracks) will validate the utility of radar-based LCSs for understanding, visualizing, monitoring and predicting transport events on the inner shelf. A unique combination of the high-resolution MVCO HF radar system and a set of 100 high-quality, low-error near-surface drifter tracks would allow such a comparison to be made for the very first time. The constructed LCSs will be used to identify regions with enhanced and inhibited stirring and to map out time-varying transport pathways and barriers that occur on the inner part of the Martha's Vineyard shelf.
This work will help to establish the utility of the dynamical systems approach to studying transport and stirring in coastal flows, will motivate more detailed studies of water mass exchange processes on the inner shelf, and will stimulate collaborative work on the effects of LCSs on the hydrographic structure of the shelf, and redistribution of nutrients and sediments in the region. Note also that the work proposed presents the first comprehensive drifter study of an inner shelf. Thus, this research is consistent with the Institute theme and is relevant to the Institute mission.
Dynamical systems analyses will be complemented by conventional analyses of drifter tracks and HF radar velocities. Specifically, I plan to: 1) validate (evaluate accuracy of) HF radar velocity measurements using measured drifter trajectories and study the effects of the radar resolution on resulting simulated drifter tracks; 2) investigate the circulation pattern in the area; 3) estimate fluid particle dispersion rates in the region; and 4) study the connection between stirring and mixing (advection and diffusion) in coastal zones.
This work would add to the capabilities of MVCO by providing high-quality drifter data for studying circulation, stirring and fluid exchanges on the inner shelf and by providing validation and analyses of the MVCO HF radar (the newest addition to MVCO) data. With the proposed study complete, I envision submitting proposals to NSF to carry out more extensive analyses of the MVCO HF radar and drifter data, perform subsequent experiments with the same drifter set over a larger domain and for longer duration, and apply the dynamical systems approach to study stirring and water mass exchanges in other regions.

BOSTON (AP) -- Boston Celtics star Rajon Rondo has torn his anterior cruciate ligament and will miss the rest of the season.
The team made the announcement during Sunday's 100-98 double-overtime win over the Miami Heat. The victory in the nationally televised game snapped a losing streak that had reached six games despite back-to-back triple-doubles by the point guard who had been elected to start for the East in the Feb. 17 All-Star game in Houston.
''We've just got to rally around each other,'' Paul Pierce said after the game. ''I feel for him. He was having such a good season. It's disappointing news.''
As Celtics players walked off the court through a tunnel toward their locker room, Rondo, dressed in street clothes, greeted them.
Rondo injured his right knee in Friday night's double-overtime loss in Atlanta, a game in which the Celtics blew a 27-point lead. He reported to the TD Garden on Sunday for a pregame shootaround but was taken to a hospital after complaining of knee pain.
The initial report was a hyperextended knee but tests showed the ACL tear, an injury that usually takes up to a year for recovery. Surgery had not been scheduled as of Sunday afternoon, said team spokesman Brian Olive, who confirmed that Rondo's season was over.
Rondo was averaging career highs of 13.7 points and 5.6 rebounds along with 11.1 assists this season. Still, the Celtics struggled to remain at .500, entering the day with a 20-23 record to hold the eighth and final spot in the Eastern Conference playoff race.

By 1879, Croydon's
'Grand Metropolitan Steeplechase'
was the second most famous race
in the country,

"Betting, 5 to 2 on L'Africain,
6 to 1 against Magenta.
The latter and Valentino
were the first to show in advance.
After passing the stand,
Valentino rushed to the front,

L'Africain going on third,
but before reaching the stand
a second time,
L'Africain quitted his opponents
a quarter of a mile

The Croydon Races
By the 1860s,
Croydon had two racecourses,
at Woodside and Norbury.
The Croydon races
were very popular but often unruly.
On one occasion at Norbury,
when it looked like the favourite

Perhaps you'll perform on sound tracks for cinema students' film projects or collaborate on operas and musical theater with theater arts majors from the School of Humanities and Sciences. (La Finta Giardiniera, The Merry Widow, Acis and Galatea, and The Consul were recent productions.)
You will interact with students from Ithaca's four other schools in your residence halls and through your extracurricular activities, as well as in some of your classes -- television-radio and physics majors may study electroacoustic music, and journalism and English majors may enroll in courses such as Music and the Media. Ithaca College stresses the importance of the humanistic tradition; accordingly, at least 20 to 25 percent of your academic work will be in the liberal arts, enriching and enlivening your professional studies.
Electives from our other schools are also available. Departments across the College range from art history and writing to business administration and cinema and photography, with intriguing course offerings that allow you to explore any number of interests. Music courses, private lessons, ensembles, and a music minor are available to students majoring in other disciplines.

at the 1996 annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in Baltimore, Maryland.
Balancing Nails on a Nail
Pound a large nail far enough into a board so that the nail stands securely upright. Lay a second large nail on a flat surface and place other nails across this nail, head to head as shown above. Finally, place another nail on top of this assembly, head to tail with the second nail. Carefully pick up the assembly and balance it on the upright nail.
In a gravitational field, any
object is most stable when its center of mass is as low as
possible. The center of mass of the nail assembly is below the
point of support and at its lowest when the assembly is balanced.
If the assembly swings to the side, its center of mass rises.
Gravity that exerts a restoring force to bring the assembly back
into balance.
Rolling Coin in Balloon
Place a coin in a large balloon,
and then inflate and tie off the balloon. Swirl the balloon
rapidly to cause the coin to roll inside the balloon. The coin
will roll for a very long time on the smooth balloon surface. At
high coin speeds, the frequency with which the coin circles the
balloon may resonate with one of the balloon's "natural
frequencies," and the balloon may hum loudly.
Racquet Ball Conserves Energy!
With a sharp knife or razor blade (caution!!!), slice a racquet ball into two halves. Trim each half so that it is slightly smaller than a hemisphere. Turn the he hemisphere inside-out and drop it, bulge-side-up, on a hard surface. The ball will snap and rebound to a height much greater than that from which it was dropped.
Work is required to turn the
hemisphere inside-out and this work is stored as potential
energy. As the dropped ball hits the hard surface, this potential
energy is released and converted to kinetic energy, allowing the
ball to rebound to a greater height.
Dropping a Light Ball on Top of a Heavy Ball
Simultaneously drop a light ball (such as a ping pong ball) resting on top of a much heavier ball (such as a superball or golf ball). If the balls are properly aligned, ideally the light ball will rebound to nearly nine times its original height. If three stacked balls each considerably heavier than the one above it--are dropped, ideally the lightest ball rebounds to nearly forty-nine times its original height. If two stacked balls with mass ratio of 3:1 are dropped (approximated by a baseball on top of a basketball), the bottom ball will remain dead on the floor ant the top ball will hit the ceiling.
The explanation for these
phenomena involve conservation of momentum and kinetic energy.
Further details can be found in physics texts or Turning the
World Inside Out, by Robert Erlich, Princeton University
Press, 1990.
Balancing a Ball with a Hair Dryer
A light ball, such as a ping pong
ball or Styrofoam ball, can be balanced in the air stream of a
hair dryer. According to Bernoulli's Principle, the pressure in
the fast-moving air stream is less than the pressure of the
surrounding quiet air. If the ball strays from the air stream,
the surrounding higher pressure air tends to push it back.
Dinner Table Optics
Use a filled round-bottom wine goblet as a lens to focus the light from a candle or from the filament of a chandelier bulb onto a wall. How does the image on the wall compare to the original object?
Look carefully at the world through the wine goblet. Then look carefully at the world through a beer mug. How are the optics of a wine goblet and beer mug similar? Different?
Use a large shiny spoon as a
mirror and compare your image in the bowl and back of the spoon.
Observe carefully the image of your pointed finger as you move it
toward the bowl of the spoon until it touches the spoon.
Deli Optics
Fill a large test tube or tall
narrow pickle or olive jar with water to serve as a cylindrical
lens. Hold the lens above a piece of paper on which the words
"DICK" and "JANE" have been written in bold
capital letters. Hold the jar horizontally in front of your eyes
and look at the world through the jar. While holding the jar in
this position, have someone else look at your eyes through the
Film-Canister Optics
Make a small pinhole in the center of the bottom of an opaque film canister. About halfway up the can, push a pin through the side of the can from the inside, so that the head of the pin is on the inside of the can directly above the pinhole in the base. Look into the open end of canister toward any bright source of light and adjust the head of the pin until it is in line with the light coming through the pinhole in the bottom. You should see the pin head inside the canister, but it seems to be pointing in the opposite direction!
The view of the pin head is
different from ordinary image production by a pinhole, for in
that case the object and the image are on opposite sides of the
pinhole. What you are seeing here is the shadow of the pin head,
which is right side up your retina, superimposed on the scene
from beyond the pinhole, which is inverted on your retina. Your
brain interprets the messages from your retina by turning them
upside down, making the image from beyond the pinhole look right
side up and the shadow of the pin seem upside down. A thorough
explanation of this phenomenon is given by Curt Gabrielson of The
Exploratorium, in The Physics Teacher, September 1993, p
Flashlight Fiber Optics
Make two small holes in the cap
of a small mustard jar, diagonally opposite each other. Attach
the jar to a flashlight, bottom end of jar against the flashlight
lens, using several layers of duct tape. Make sure that the glass
walls of the jar are completely covered with tape so that no
light comes through the side of the jar. Fill the jar with water
and cap it, turn on the flashlight, and turn out the lights.
Allow a thin continuous stream of water to pour out of one of the
holes in the cap (the other hole allows air into the jar). The
light will be captured within the stream due to total internal
reflection. The stream will not be visible from the side and the
light will only be seen when the stream breaks up or hits
Lightning in Your Mouth
Turn out the lights and allow
your eyes to become accustomed to the dark. Then, while looking
into a mirror, pop a wintergreen Life Saver into your mouth and
chew. Charge separation is produced as the candy fragments, and
the discharge produces light. This phenomenon is called
triboluminescence and can be observed with other flavors of hard
candy--or even sugar cubes, but wintergreen flavor seems to work
Coat-Hanger Chimes
Tie the middle of a 3-foot long
piece of thread to the hook of a cost hanger. Wrap the ends of
the thread around the second finger of each hand, stick these
fingers in your ears, and allow the hanger to bump against a
rigid object. Big Ben never sounded this good!
Non-Newtonian Fluid
Make a thick slurry of cornstarch and water. Unlike ordinary liquids, the slurry will flow easily under a small pressure but resists moving when a sudden or strong force is applied. (Maybe there's a lesson in this about human nature!)

Alain Labat, the former President & CEO of VaST Systems, told me on a phone call this week that his story, in a way, is very simple: "When we got acquired by Synopsys in 2010, 5 years ago now, our management and investors clearly saw an opportunity to start our own investment bank and advisory company, so that's what we did.
"We believed then, and still believe, that if you need a big bank from New York or a huge amount of money [to begin your enterprise], the right people are the Goldman Sachs or the other Wall Street guys. But for a technology-based company, you need something different.
"And so, at the advice of our investors, we started Harvest Management Partners specifically for those companies who need something different. Coming from VaST as we did, with a great deal of true operational experience, we felt we could offer much-needed guidance to those companies who were not a good fit for Wall Street.

Microsoft has sneaked Clippy, one of its most beloved and hated characters, into the latest version of its mobile software.
Recently, the Redmond, Wash., tech company unveiled Windows Phone 8.1 and released it to developers. Among the new features is Cortana, Microsoft's version of Siri.
Developers have been busy asking Cortana all kinds of questions, including what she thinks of former CEO Steve Ballmer (to which she responds with a reference to one of his many famous on-stage escapades).
When asked what she thinks about Clippy, the smiling paper clip from older versions of Microsoft Office, Cortana responds, "What's not to like? That guy took a heck of a beating and he's still smiling."
Asking a follow-up question prompts the device to replace Cortana's circular icon with an image of the silly smiling paper clip.
Clippy was designed to help users with documents they were creating, but often the character was just too chatty and got in the way of work, to the frustration of many.
Clippy is no longer in Microsoft's programs, but often shows up in Internet memes. At this point, some people actually feel nostalgia for the character. That might explain why Microsoft decided to hide Clippy as an "Easter egg" inside Windows Phone 8.1.

Sue Williams necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 115 diseños de 50 diseñadores freelance.
We require a logo for our new company. Our full legal name is SecondWind Shipping Limited but we don't want all of that in our logo, just a design on the name "SecondWind". Please note it is all one word and there is a capital 'W' in the middle.
SecondWind Shipping Limited
The managing director of our company was a director with Fairwind for twenty years but left a couple of years ago to set up her own consultancy firm, she has now decided to set up a new company in direct competition with Fairwind. The name "SecondWind" is a play on words on two counts, one because she is still well known within the industry as an ex-director of Fairwind and two because their work will be giving a 'second wind' to the ships under their control.
To get a better idea of what we shall be doing please take a look at www. fairwind.co.uk You will note that since they are part of a shipping group of companies ( Denholm) and they have a flag as their logo, we do not necessarily want a flag since we do not own ships, however, quite a few shipping related companies have wavy lines in their logos (hopefully representing the sea rather than any flaky business practices) and we would be happy about that. If you can get across the second wind concept without being too tacky that would be good: remember our main clients will be Banks and they prefer designs that look solid and substantial, (unlike their own balance sheets) and these people are not renowned for their sharp sense of humour.

WASHINGTON (SBG) — With Republican tax reform dominating headlines, many have unanswered questions about what the overhaul may mean for them and their families.
Lawmakers are pushing to pass the bill in question before Christmas; but if they succeed, how will the measure impact the average American?
Here are four things to know about the GOP's plan and its real-life implications:
President Donald Trump has marketed the Republican party's plan for tax reform as a "Christmas present" to the middle class.
"Big winners will be the middle class," Trump tweeted Oct. 25.
Republicans have also touted benefits to the middle class as one of the bill's main accomplishments.
"I'm excited about the tax bill and what it's going to bring to middle-class folks and lower middle-class folks, bringing relief," said Rep. Darin LaHood, R-Ill.
LaHood specifically cited the doubling of the standard deduction, preservation of the mortgage interest deduction, and allowing deduction of property taxes up to $10,000 as provisions that will reduce the tax burden on the middle class.
However, some Democrats and experts argue that this is false advertising; though the vast majority of taxpaying families would receive a cut, under the version of the bill the House originally passed, at least 8 million families earning less than $87,000 annually would have faced an average tax increase of $794, according to an estimate by Democrats on Congress' Joint Economic Committee.
Analyses of the final bill have similarly found the benefits weighted toward the wealthy and corporations, though most middle class taxpayers will see some savings. Also, due to Senate procedural rules, the cuts for individuals would be set to expire in eight years, while the rate reductions for businesses would be permanent.
Democrats predict the shortfall in tax revenue created by the cuts will lead to slashed funding for social programs and entitlement programs that primarily benefit middle and lower-income families. House Speaker Paul Ryan has already spoken about plans to reduce spending on Medicare, Medicaid, and welfare programs in order to rein in deficits.
Lawmakers and experts alike are at odds over how the tax reform plan will benefit the economy.
Though the tax cuts mean that the federal deficit will swell significantly, the reduced regulation could pave the way for dramatic economic growth.
As Trump repeals more and more regulations, the U.S. has witnessed its fastest economic growth since 2014.
Republicans maintain this progress is a sign of confidence in the president's policies; an assurance that will grow should the tax reform bill pass.
"People want certainty and the Trump administration has given them certainty," Rep. Steve Pearce, R-N.M., said. "That is that we're going to make you follow the law, we're going to make sure you follow regulations, but we're also on your side in the matter."
He pointed to the hundreds of regulations the White House and Congress have eliminated since January as a catalyst for new investment by companies that held back during the Obama administration.
"If we give the tax breaks in addition to the regulatory reforms that Congress has already passed, I think you're going to see a dramatic increase in the economy," he said.
Critics have warned the deficits incurred due to reduced tax revenue will hamper economic growth. Multiple independent analyses from across the ideological spectrum estimated the bill would tack between $400 billion and $1.5 trillion to the national debt over ten years.
The Treasury Department released a one-page statement last week claiming the tax cuts in conjunction with several policy changes that have not yet even been formally proposed will result in an increase in tax revenue, but many economists are skeptical.
State and local tax deductions -- also known as SALT -- became a major hurdle in the path of tax reform, but most GOP lawmakers appear to now be on the same page.
House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Kevin Brady, R-Texas, said in November that he cannot imagine the bill getting through the House without preserving the property tax deduction. Some Republicans from high-tax states like California and New York were mollified by the $10,000 property tax carve-out, but others have already jumped ship.
California GOP Reps. Dana Rohrabacher and Darrell Issa have announced they plan to vote against the final bill due to these concerns.
"While the Senate could adopt the House's provision, the Senate would need to identify more base broadeners to satisfy the Byrd Rule," Nicole Kaeding of the Tax Foundation said. "This is a difficult political choice for leaders of both chambers, but it is just one of many hurdles ahead to secure passage."
Michael Leachman, director of state fiscal research for the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, said the difference may be smaller than it seems, since the doubled standard deduction is intended to make the property tax deduction moot for most who currently claim it.
"The way it works is that, for one thing, most taxpayers who are using the property tax deduction now wouldn't be able to use it anyway," he said.
The larger problem is that eliminating the state income tax deduction has ramifications for state budgets, and a lower federal tax bill matters little if state taxes go up.
"If you take away the deduction, it makes it harder for states over time to raise the money that they need through the income tax," Leachman said.
Yeah, probably. With a hard deadline to pass a must-do spending bill by Friday, Congress faces immense pressure to get tax reform passed.
GOP leaders plan to hold a vote on the measure on Tuesday in both houses.
And after Maine Republican Sen. Susan Collins said Monday she'll vote for the bill, all voting GOP senators are expected to back the measure-- enough to approve the $1.5 trillion package.

This group is designed to explore the ways in which social media and technology can help bring arts and culture to the masses. "Democratizing" the arts has been a long-standing goal in the art world, and no medium makes it more feasible than the web. The purpose of this meetup is to bring together those working at the intersection of arts and technology to share ideas, strategies, successes, challenges and failures, and to explore the following questions: - How can the new technology available help raise awareness about the arts and enrich the audience experience? - How can cultural institutions interact and engage with each other and their audience in meaningful ways? - What can they learn from their audience and how can they use this knowledge to improve the way in which they present their content? - As well as countless others that we hope to uncover at future meetups!

The following are updates on area athletes at the collegiate level.
Alyssa Selve (Glendale Community College, 2012) junior, Adams State women's cross-country: With Selve fresh off aiding the Glendale college women's team's 2011 state cross-country championship, the junior's attempt for back-to-back team titles came up a bit short, as the Adams State women's team took third at the NCAA Division II championships Nov. 17 in Missouri.
The Grizzlies took third with 109 points, eight behind winner Grand Valley State's 101.
Still, Selve's first season as a Grizzly ended with her earning All-American status. Selve was her team's No. 4 runner in the race, finishing in 39th place — the top 40 runners are recognized as All-Americans — in 21 minutes 21.2 seconds.
Taylor Vail (Flintridge Sacred Heart Academy, 2010) junior, Bowdoin women's volleyball: The Glendale native was recently one of eight Bowdoin student-athletes to receive Fall All-Sportsmanship accolades from the New England Small College Athletic Conference.
It's an accolade bestowed by the NESCAC to student-athletes from each varsity sport who have put forth great dedication to sportsmanship.
Vail, a former Tologs captain, put forth some excellent work on the volleyball court as the Polar Bears' starting libero.
After sharing the NESCAC title in the regular season, the Polar Bears advanced to the third round of the NCAA Division III playoffs, where they lost to Umass-Boston, 3-2, on Nov. 11. Vail had a match-high 27 digs, to go along with four assists.
On the season, she led the team with 419 digs in addition to 15 aces and 60 assists.
David Yetenikyan (Glendale High, 2012) freshman, Occidental College men's basketball: Yetenikyan is getting some time off the bench during his first campaign with the Tigers.
Averaging 5.4 points per game and 4.4 rebounds, the former Nitros All-Pacific Leaguer has played in all nine of his team's games, coming off the bench to the tune of 15.7 minutes per game.
Occidental has struggled to a 3-6 record and opened up Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference play 0-3. The Tigers did snap a five-game losing streak with a 74-63 win over Washington and Jefferson at the Las Vegas Hoopla Tournament on Friday.
In the win, Yetenikyan turned in one of his best outings, scoring six points on two-of-two shooting from the field, including a three-pointer, while also sinking his only free throw. He also pulled down seven rebounds and added a steal and a block.
Oxy returns to action Sunday with a doubleheader at Chapman against Colorado College.
Kenyatta Smith (Flintridge Prep, 2011) sophomore, Harvard men's basketball: The former News-Press Male Athlete of the Year, after leading Flintridge Prep to the program's first and only CIF championship, is imposing his size in the post when he gets playing time for the Crimson.
Smith tallied a career-high five blocks on Dec. 11 in a 65-64 win against Boston University and also notched six points and four rebounds in 16 minutes. Smith had five points in eight minutes off the bench during Harvard's 72-65 win against Holy Cross on Saturday.
Through 10 games, the sophomore center has played in eight games with five starts, averaging 14.5 minutes a game, five points, just under four rebounds and a team-high 1.8 blocks.
Having won two straight and four of its last five, Harvard (6-4) is coming out west, as Smith is set to make a homecoming of sorts with a game at the University of California on Saturday and a game at St. Mary's on Monday. Harvard begins Ivy League play Jan. 12 at Dartmouth.

I'm a full-time software developer, husband, father. I'm working on http://viewtext.org as a smaller project that will be a piece of a bigger project (toadjaw.com). Looking for a designer to work with along the way.
Looking to attract web developers, bloggers, mobile websites, mobile apps, and heavy users of RSS feeds to use viewtext.org for displaying article content in an easy to read, simple format.
An example use of viewtext is on http://ihackernews.com. It's used there to view the text of the posted articles.
I don't yet have a design for http://viewtext.org, but I plan on it remaining simple, lightweight, with a white background. I first would like a logo to start the design process. The logo should be simple, hopefully clever, but not excessively complex or loud.
I'm looking for direction, in the design of the website to go along with this logo. The logo picked will be used for that.
ViewText.org transforms the text of a article (news article, blog post, etc...) and return just the main content in an easy to read format.
I would like the .AI and/or .PSD files (or source file of the program you use).

Karori needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 87 designs submitted by 14 freelance designers.
Our Montessori Primary School is opening in a new location and wants to create a new logo/brand that reflects the Montessori philosophy - whole child approach - and our ambitions to create a special environment for learning.
North Shore Montessori Primary
The Montessori Primary programme reflects the special needs of the 6-12 year old child. This is a period of stability after the rapid developments of the first 6 years of life and before the upheavals of puberty.
At this stage children are thirsty for knowledge. They want to know everything about everything. They can cope with research and begin to understand cause and effect. During this plane of development they move towards ever more abstract concepts.
Dr. Maria Montessori was concerned to develop the whole child. Montessori education encourages children to develop a sense of social purpose towards the community and environment, as well as moral responsibility. Children learn in a holistic framework in which everything interconnects: climate, crops, culture, architecture etc. This encourages them to see themselves as part of a much bigger picture, one to which they can and should contribute constructively.
We are opening our Primary School Unit in an new location and want to create a new image that empowers our Montessori community (parents, children, teachers) with passion to grow and learn.
Our School is based in New Zealand and we would like to use a symbol that represents where the school is located on the North Shore of Auckland. If possible, we would like the image of Rangitoto Island in the logo. Pictures of Rangitoto Island can be found at:
We will want to use the logo to print on our school uniforms, so it must be something that can be embroidered onto a shirt.
- Must state "North Shore Montessori Primary"
- Must be clean, professional, youthful in symbolism and color, but not cartoonish
- Bright but soft colors, reflecting growth, learning, community, joy
- Can use any font, but must be simple and easy to read
- As in the description, we would like, but not absolutely necessary, to symbolise Rangitoto Island in the logo
- tacky images
- cartoon characters
- dark colors
