chiltonj necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
2 ganadores han sido elegidos entre 30 diseños de 14 diseñadores freelance.
This is for a new business called Goovie Time that will rent video games and DVD's online. Similar to http://www.gamefly.com or http://www.gameznflix.com, blockbuster.com, netflix, etc.
GoovieTime or Goovie Time
Groovy Goovies at your door! (or anything you can think of that is better)
Desired Color Scheme:
Any color (not too dark, not too bright), any color that attracts customers.
Desired Style:
Professional, creative and modern, easy to use.
Accepted File Formats:
Not sure, whatever format is most popular with web hosting companies
Looking for two things: 1) A logo for Goovie Time (or GoovieTime whichever you like - I think I prefer Goovie Time) and a mascot such as the way Tivo has a mascot. I was thinking a little furry guy shaped something like a M&M with popcorn or a video controller in it's hands but any kind of character will do. Something that is memorable. A tagline would be cool too.
2) A website template (front page only). Tabs should include Home, Movies, PSP3, PSP2, XBOX360, XBOX, Wii, Message Boards, and My Goovies (similar to My Q). Other additions might be My Accound and FAQ/Help. Please use your own discretion with how you like the tabs to be laid out. They don't have to be in a row but they should be easy to select. Each tab should highlight when the mouse moves over them so there is a little bit of code but not much.
The purpose of the front page template is to provide a welcome introductory screen with a Coming Soon message with a taste of the products offered. There should be a place where the visitor can easily click on a link which takes them to a email form. The form should have a field for first name, email address, and comments (and anything else that you think is relevant). The email form will go to email@example.com.
A visitor should know what the site is all about with the first 5-10 seconds of viewing it. I.e. Gamefly.com
The website will need to be made in a way that is seamless when the other parts are put in such as message boards, e-commerce, tracking Q, etc.
This contest was originally listed in multiple categories:
- Logo Design
- Web Page Design

A man convicted of abducting and killing a Miami couple and later stabbing a prison guard to death is set to be executed after nearly four decades on Florida's death row.
Askari Abdullah Muhammad, previously known as Thomas Knight, is scheduled to die by lethal injection Tuesday at Florida State Prison in Starke barring a last-minute, successful appeal.
Gov. Rick Scott signed the death warrant after the Florida Supreme Court in December rejected Muhammad's challenge to chemicals used in the state's execution procedure.
Muhammad, 62, was first condemned to die for the 1974 killings of Sydney and Lillian Gans. Then known as Knight, he had worked for Gans at a paper bag company before abducting him in the business' parking lot with a rifle. He ordered Gans to drive home to pick up his wife and then go to a bank to withdraw $50,000.
Inside the bank, Gans asked a manager to alert authorities. Both the FBI and local police were able to follow the car for a while, including use of aircraft, but lost track of it for a short time in a rural part of southern Miami-Dade County. Trial testimony showed that's when Muhammad shot the couple in the back of the head and tried to hide by burying himself, the rifle and the money in mud and weeds.
Muhammad was found a short time later and arrested. While awaiting trial, he and 10 other inmates escaped from the local jail, leading to a nationwide manhunt including a Top 10 fugitives listing by the FBI.
Although he was not charged, authorities say Muhammad was involved, after his escape, in the fatal October 1974 shooting of liquor store clerk William Culpepper during an armed robbery in Cordele, Ga. Another clerk was shot and wounded, according to local authorities.
The FBI finally arrested Muhammad on New Year's Eve in 1974 in New Smyrna Beach, Fla. In his possession were three stolen weapons: a sawed-off shotgun, a .38-cal. revolver and a 9mm handgun.
After his conviction in the Gans case, Muhammad in 1980 fatally stabbed Correction Officer Richard Burke with the sharpened end of a spoon as he was being escorted to the prison shower. Court documents show that Muhammad had become upset because he was told he couldn't see a visitor unless he shaved his full beard, and had been overheard by guards to remark that "it looks like I'll have to start sticking people."
Muhammad was sentenced to die for Burke's killing in 1983.
His execution has been delayed for so long because of numerous appeals and rulings in the Gans case, including a 1987 federal appeals court tossing out his death sentence because he hadn't been allowed to put character and background witnesses on the stand during the penalty phase.
The decades have worn heavily on the Gans family as they await justice. Their daughter, 72-year-old Harriet Shapiro, said it will be a relief when it's all over.
"Even though I have no hatred in my heart and I don't live with anger, I would be very happy to see him dead and stand there when they kill him," Shapiro told The Miami Herald in a recent interview. She did not return telephone messages left by The Associated Press.
Muhammad was resentenced to death in 1996, but last year another federal judge found that he had been improperly barred from cross-examining some witnesses in that second sentencing hearing. The 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals reversed that decision in September and restored the death penalty, prompting Scott to sign a death warrant.
"To learn about the gridlock and inefficiency of death penalty litigation, look no further than this appeal," the appeals judges said in their opinion.

Where to stay in New York
Exploring New York
If there had to be just one city known for its far-reaching influence, it would have to be The Big Apple, New York City. You will find it a challenge to develop itineraries, especially if they are only for a couple days, as there is just too much to see in this well-known city. The accommodations in New York are just as numerous, but conveniently sorted out on our site.
If there had to be two things to explore in New York, it would have to be the historic landmarks and the arts and culture. Whether it is the Statue of Liberty, Rockfeller Center Tour or a movie tour, you can be assured of an awe-inspiring time, especially if you're a fan of movies made in the US.
Things to see
Some of the landmarks in New York are so embedded in history that as time go by, they get even more famous. These landmarks include the Empire State Building, Statue of Liberty, Wall Street and National September 11 Memorial at the World Trade Center site. Hopping to and fro these spots promises an unforgettable time for anyone with a hint of interest in history and culture.
Fans of theater and performing arts can also visit the world-famous Broadway, and choose from several shows and musicals. Many of the performances are major musicals and well-known dramatic works, assuring almost any visitor a memorable time.
Hotels in New York
The accommodation scene in New York might be shock to your wallet, with hundreds of dollars required for just one night in a decent room, in a decent hotel. Accommodation options are plenty though, from hostels to budget rooms and motels to luxurious hotels bearing internationally known brand names. Getting around is relatively easy by foot and subway, and driving is recommended only during off-peak hours.
Where to stay
Looking to absorb as much of New York as possible in as short a time as possible? Then Manhattan would be a great choice, with easy access to main attractions by foot. It is also here that you will find diverse cultures, which mean a wide range of delectable restaurants. Accommodation options are mainly hotels with a few hostels, with decent rooms and excellent accessibility.
Another borough to explore is Brooklyn, with several opportunities for sightseeing, restaurants, and nightlife. The lodging here includes inns and B&B's with decent rooms and food but if you're looking for state of the art amenities, then luxurious hotels would be the way to go. Brooklyn also serves as a gateway to other boroughs like Manhattan, Queens and Staten Island.
How to get to New York
International airports here include John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) and Newark Liberty Airport (EWR), both of which service international flights from all over the world. Domestic flights are managed by LaGuardia Airport (LGA). Visitors can get into the city via shuttles, trains and buses, as alternatives to taxis.

Writer/Director/Producer John Davies, Producer Reid Brody & Writer/Producer Raymond Lambert's bittersweet Valentine To "All Jokes Aside" Comedy Club To Debut On Thursday, February 23rd At 8:30 PM (ET/PT)
LOS ANGELES, CA (January 24, 2012) – SHOWTIME continues its month-long celebration of Black History Month with a new docu-comedy PHUNNY BUSINESS: A BLACK COMEDY chronicling the rise and fall of Chicago's All Jokes Aside, one of the preeminent comedy clubs in the country which gave early exposure to many of the nation's most important young comedians. For a decade, All Jokes Aside was the most influential Black comic showcase in America. With no comedy clubs booking minority acts on a regular basis at the time, the 300-seat venue in Chicago's South Loop filled a void by showcasing Black talent and entertaining Black audiences in an upscale setting.
This mostly unheralded "star factory" introduced audiences to household name talent such as Steve Harvey, Dave Chappelle, Chris Rock, Jamie Foxx, MoNique, Bernie Mac, Carlos Mencia, D.L. Hughley, Cedric The Entertainer, Adele Givens, Melanie Comarcho, Mike Epps, JB Smoove, Ali LeRoi, Aries Spears, George Willborn, Sheryl Underwood, Laura Hayes, Bill Bellamy, Craig Robinson, Deon Cole, Earthquake and Tommy Davidson, who recall their experiences working gigs at the club. Celebrities such as Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, Tommy Hearns, Barry Sanders, Boyz II Men, Maxwell, MC Lyte, Vivica A. Fox, Doug Banks and others could be found laughing it up in the audience…but one rule stood, no comps. No exceptions!
All Jokes Aside was the brainchild of 29-year-old Delaware native and Morehouse College graduate Raymond Lambert. After a fateful visit to The Improv in Los Angeles, Lambert decided to open his own "phunny" business. Thus began a journey that would put Lambert, a showbiz neophyte, in business with some of the biggest names in comedy and eventually, in conflict with a city known for its racial politics. Eventually, All Jokes Aside closed, but the artists and entertainers never forgot, "…the best little club no one ever heard of," and nostalgically share memories and re-live the glory days. Using stills, archival performance footage and interviews, PHUNNY BUSINESS: A BLACK COMEDY salutes the legendary showcase for its unsung contribution to comedy history.

Planning Your Client's First Audit
by CLYDE F. BRENNAN Principal, Houston Office
Adapted from an address before the Texas Society of Certified
Public Accountants, Houston Chapter—December 1968
VERY CPA attempts to serve his client in every way possible, be it advice on tax problems, assistance in areas related to management services, or performing an audit. Of these three services, the audit generally is the most time-consuming and may present the most problems. The client's reason for requesting an audit may be one or a combination of things:
• To establish accountability
• To supply financial information to vendors
• To satisfy lender in a potential borrowing
• To furnish required information for public financing
• To fulfill a contractual obligation, such as stipulated in a profit-sharing plan
• To satisfy stockholders
Years ago, this service for a client would have been performed in a routine fashion, but today we are faced with many more problems. In recent years, the accountant's legal responsibility has come sharply into focus, with the extent and range of liability greatly increased, and the accountant now finds himself being held accountable to third parties in a much greater degree. Spiraling costs are also plaguing the CPA, but if he hopes to satisfy his client, he will have to perform the audit in a most efficient manner. Minimizing his legal liability while performing the audit in the most efficient manner is indeed a challenge to the CPA.
Before delving into the problems presented in planning the first audit of a client, let us briefly review the generally accepted auditing standards as approved and adopted by the membership of the AICPA and published as a part of Statements on Auditing Procedure No. 33:

text: New HBO Documentary Unlocks The Mystery Behind Major Depression "60 Minutes" Correspondent Mike Wallace And Others Tell Compelling Stories Of Surviving Depression Dec 10 1997 New York, NY - Many of the 18 million Americans who live with severe depression suffer in silence because of the stigma attached to mental illness. That silence is broken in "Dead Blue: Surviving Depression," a new HBO documentary that chronicles the lives of three people suffering from depression and their families. The film examines how "60 Minutes" correspondent Mike Wallace, author William Styron, and clinical psychologist Martha Manning have learned to live with the illness. This documentary is part of the "America Undercover" series and will debut on HBO on Tuesday, January 6, and air several times throughout the month. The film's premiere tonight in New York City was co-hosted by HBO and the National Alliance for the Mentally Ill (NAMI), the nation's leading advocacy organization for people with severe mental illnesses, such as major depression. "'Dead Blue: Surviving Depression' is a useful tool for educating millions of people about severe mental illness, particularly major depression," said Laurie Flynn, executive director of NAMI. "People seeing this film will be left with one over-arching message -- treatment works." The 55-minute film gives the viewer a greater understanding of the pain of depression and the hope offered by new and effective treatments. Wallace, Styron and Manning paint a human portrait of the challenges of living with depression through candid interviews, photos, home movies and archival footage from their lives. "HBO produced this documentary to reach out to anyone suffering in silence," said Sheila Nevins, HBO producer. "If one person learns that severe depression is treatable by seeing this documentary, then the film has served its purpose." Thanks to medical advances, major depression can now be easily diagnosed. Depression is defined as a mental disorder marked by feelings of sadness, despair, hopelessness and thoughts of suicide. Effective treatment, coupled with the support of friends and family members, can speed recovery. "The testimony heard throughout the documentary illustrates the path to survival for people with depression," said Flynn. "All too often, people don't seek help and that's why suicide claims the lives of nearly 18,000 people with depression every year in this country." NAMI works on the national, state and local level through 168,000 members and more than 1,100 affiliates to provide education about severe mental illnesses and to support increased funding for research and quality services.

ICT USB Sticks
This is a USB stick used for some courses at Seneca. It boots very quickly (as little as 35 seconds) and comes with preinstalled software that we need.
The system image is read-only, so even if it's screwed up with bad commands run as root - it will return to a working state once the computer is rebooted. But the home directory is read-write so any files you save there will persist after a reboot.
Download and Install
- You'll need an ADATA UV128/32GB USB stick. You can use a different one with comparable read/write performance (a more expensive one isn't necessarily better) but it has to be at least 31,037,849,600 bytes in size. A USB3 stick is highly recommended, even if you're using it in a USB2 port (the flash inside is faster).
- The process of downloading, extracting, and writing the image may take a long time depending on the speed of your network, computer, and USB port.
- Once you have the stick, insert it into your computer, preferably into a USB3 port (it's either blue in colour or has SS writen on it, short for SuperSpeed).
- Download the compressed image from here:
- Then unzip it. You'll obviously need enough disk space for that, a total of probably 36GB (one compressed + one uncompressed file). Note that in the open lab you should use 7zip to extract the archive, the Windows built-in zip extractor doesn't seem to work for this large file.
- Write the image to your USB stick:
- If you're currently using linux - you can use the dd command to write to the USB stick. Make sure you write to the device file (e.g. /dev/sdb) and not any existing partition (e.g. /dev/sdb1). You'll need root permissions to be able to write to that device file.
- e.g. dd bs=4K if=linuxmint-18-cinnamon-64bit-seneca-ict-2016-v2.adata32.img of=/dev/sdb
- On windows you'll need to use Win32 Disk Imager. It's a free program.
- If you're currently using linux - you can use the dd command to write to the USB stick. Make sure you write to the device file (e.g. /dev/sdb) and not any existing partition (e.g. /dev/sdb1). You'll need root permissions to be able to write to that device file.
- Once it's done writing - it's ready to use!
User Accounts
The automatic login will log you in as the user student, the password for that user is also student. The student user doesn't have sudo privileges but you can use su to run commands as the administrator. The root password is seneca99.
There is no security to speak of on these sticks (have you seen a lot of USB sticks with protected data?). So unless you want to set up an encrypted directory - your can keep your data secure by not giving the stick to other people. No remote access (ssh, etc.) is enabled by default.
Remember that you cannot damage the root filesystem even running bad commands as root. The worst you can do is delete your home directory (don't do that :)).
- Well, I guess if you manage to mount or erase the first partition on the USB stick - that will break it. But that's trying really hard :)
Please go to bugzilla to see existing problems and file a bug (feature and requests are very welcome). Or if you can't be bothered to register there, send Andrew an email.

In addition, the portal will house new co-branded campaign materials, lead generation activities, webinars, seminars and press releases – all meant to provide partners with a full suite of marketing support and a reliable, future-proof solution to leverage the full extensibility of Alfresco's platform.
"We needed a partner that could support our strategic vision, help us grow, and provide support along the way," said Malcolm Teasdale, CEO Rothbury Software. "That's what we've found with Alfresco. We were one of Alfresco's first partners when we started in 2007. Today we're known in the industry as content management subject matter experts. This is in no small part to our Platinum partnership with Alfresco."
"In 2006, partnering with the newcomer Alfresco seemed to be quite a risk. Five years later we think that it was one of the best strategic decisions we ever made, leading to strong and sustainable growth, a lot of exciting, long-term customer relationships and the buildup of cutting-edge skills and know-how," said Dr. Michael Schäfer, CEO of Westernacher Products & Services AG. "The partnership with Alfresco initiated a remarkable shift towards a "2.0 mindset" inside our company. Open source really makes a difference!"

- Danks and Jenks sound like a cartoon cat and mouse team, and Jim Thome is kind of like the big silly dog that would live next door to them, but they were enough to shut down the Twins and win the A.L. Central.
- My thought as the ball came off of Casilla's bat and headed towards center with two out in the ninth: "man, good thing Griffey isn't out there right now."
- My wife was watching with me and asked why everyone was wearing black. I told her about the blackout thing. She said [pointing at the screen] "I guess that's cool, but man, how big a douche is that guy wearing the white hoodie?" Good point. Anyway, despite my snark from this morning, the blackout thing looked pretty darn cool on TV.
- Based on what I've seen from Darrell Hammond on SNL and Frank Caliendo on this year's batch of Frank TV ads, sketch comedy is going to be in big trouble if McCain wins the election, because no one can do him very well.
- Note to TBS: please do not have Dick Stockton read the crew credits before the completion of a close game again. Nothing bad happened in this instance, but you know that at some point the team that is behind will rally, and some new kind of distracting jinx will have been born. Even if that doesn't happen, it's bad form, no?
Congrats to the White Sox!

Douglas Coupland decked out in his Canadian best. I photographed Douglas in his Vancouver BC studio for The New York Times Magazine just before the 2010 Winter Olympics. He was kind enough to give me a tour of his studio, and it, along with his art collection, is enough to make anyone jealous. Really impressive. New York Times Magazine Q&A with Douglas.
As I parted ways with Douglas, he said to give him a call if I ran into any trouble at the border. A kind gesture, but probably not necessary. For those of you who are not familiar with crossing the border between the US and Canada, it usually involves waiting in a short line and getting grilled with questions ranging from "Why are you visiting Canada (or the US)" to "When is the last time you got into a bar fight." On occasion the officer will ask a series of questions, and loop back around and ask the same questions again, which I always find interesting. A good way to catch you if you are lying about something.
When I reached the border this time, I was greeted with a standard question, "What were you doing in Canada?" "Taking pictures," I responded.
It's important to understand the questions you are asked at the border are rapid. It is not a conversation, it's question, answer, question, answer.
"What were you taking pictures of?"
"Douglas Coupland for New York Times Magazine."
Up until this point it's all pretty standard, but this next part threw me off. The officer turned from his computer screen and looked at me as he said, "Ohhhh, Generation X". Douglas popularized the phrase "Generation X" with his best selling novel Generation X: Tales for an Accelerated Culture. I wasn't sure how to respond at this point. Was that a question, or was he simply stating a fact? Now there was a pause. This isn't how it's supposed to work. He is supposed to ask the questions and I give the answers. But it seemed he was waiting for some sort of response, so I said, "Oh, yeah, so you know who he is?" His demeanor instantly changed, and he responded in a harsh tone, "I said Generation X, didn't I!?" I nodded my head in agreement, not wanting to get into it with him.
After another pause, the officer began to tell me about an article he had recently read by Douglas Coupland on how border officers are rude and difficult. He went on for what seemed like several minutes. His tone was a mix of amusement and disbelief. To summarize his main points: What!? Us, rude and difficult!? How could anyone think that?
Oh, this is bad I thought. I should have said I was photographing Céline Dion.
Once again, not knowing how to respond, I tried to be real. "To be honest, I have pulled up next to some gruff people working here and I can see how he would think that about some of the people who work here. But you definitely seem to be one of the the nice ones."
With that, he snapped back into Mr. Man In Charge, and exclaimed. "Well, if you think I'm nice, it would interest you to know I have made more arrests at this station than any other officer." He paused to let his accomplishments sink in before handed back my passport and I was on my way. Until next time.

Degree Programs
Academic Degree Requirements
An undergraduate education at The University of Texas at Dallas (UTD) is designed with several goals in mind. First, the purpose of an undergraduate education is to acquaint students with ways of knowing the world of the natural sciences, mathematics, arts, humanities, and social and behavioral sciences. Therefore, all students are required to complete a Core Curriculum consisting of 42 semester credit hours. Secondly, students are expected to acquire depth in a field of study. To this end, students must fulfill the major and related requirements of a specified number of semester credit hours for their major. Thirdly, students are encouraged to take courses outside of their major and related field and beyond the Core Curriculum, and thus students are given free and advanced elective hours in which to explore intellectual domains beyond their area of specialization and beyond the core requirements.
To graduate with a baccalaureate degree from UTD, students must complete and receive credit for all graduation requirements stated in "Graduation Requirements" as well as specific degree requirements.
Students are responsible for fulfilling the degree requirements and enrolling for courses appropriate to their degree program. Students should, at the lower-division, complete all freshman and sophomore prerequisites for the degree program. These requirements are set by the degree program and are listed under the program heading in the catalog; the number of semester credit hours may vary according to degree program. Students who are Texas residents should be aware that state law limits the number of semester credit hours that an undergraduate Texas resident may complete while paying tuition at the rate provided for Texas residents. See the section on Tuition for Excessive Undergraduate Hours.
This catalog is a general information publication only. It is not intended to nor does it contain all regulations that relate to students. The provisions of this catalog do not constitute a contract, express or implied, between any applicant, student or faculty member and The University of Texas at Dallas or The University of Texas System. The University of Texas at Dallas reserves the right to withdraw courses at any time, to change fees or tuition, calendar, curriculum, degree requirements, graduation procedures, and any other requirements affecting students. Changes will become effective whenever the proper authorities so determine and will apply to both prospective students and those already enrolled.

MOTO Merchant Accounts (Mail Order / Telephone Order)
MOTO Merchant Accounts very closely resemble an Online Merchant Account. In both cases, the rate structure is based on the assumption that the customers card is "not" in the physical presence of the merchant as would be the case in a typical retail environment.
These types of charges are considered Card Not Present (CNP), or manual keyed entries whereas those in a more traditional retail environment are considered Card Present (CP) accounts also known as Swiped entries or Swipe Accounts.
MOTO Merchant Accounts are geared toward accepting and processing payments manually. This often accomplished via a Virtual Terminal (online payment processing), a PC based application, or a credit card machine where the card information is entered manually. Merchants who also require customer purchases to be made online through a shopping cart should refer to our Online Merchant Accounts.
What you should know about MOTO Merchant Accounts
As these purchases are processed either on the phone, or manually as a result of a mail order, the card isn't present for verification by the Merchant. Because of the physical lack of card verification, the risk of fraud is presumed higher by the processing agent. MOTO account structures and rates will be incrementally higher to reflect this risk.
There are other factors that can affect the rate structure as well. This includes the Average Ticket Size (AVT), volume of purchases, and type of product or service. There are some products or services that reflect a higher chargeback rate (customer disputes) while others such as low ticket sales have less such risk. When you are shopping for a Merchant Account, be cautious as to not agree to a structure that isn't representative of your business needs.
1st National has absolutely terrific agents that know what questions to ask to help our clients obtain the best rates available. That in combination with contemporary inventory of solutions means that you'll get a solution most appropriate for your business needs.
Interested in what 1st National can do for your business? Give us a call or complete our "quick quote" request. Between our well rounded inventory, Class A Settlement Banks & Processors, and a full suite of Merchant Services, our talented agents are sure to be of value.

MOTO Merchant Account equipment examples
Virtual Terminals: A virtual terminal is an online administrative tool that lets you processing charges, refunds, credit, etc. though a web interface. These Virtual Terminals are normally part of a more complete "Payment Gateway" solution which may include the flexibility to connect your website shopping cart to a payment processor.
PC Processing: There are a variety of PC based solutions that can also help facilitate the processing, refunds, etc. from your PC. Many have advanced reporting and even swipe solutions and support PC Based Electronic Cash Registers (ECR)
Credit Card Machines: Depending on your need, a basic credit card machine that connects to a phone line may also be appropriate. The advantage is that the card machine can be used where ever you have a phone line. Many credit card machines also provide remote or wireless capabilities.
For those of you who are 1st National customers you should be aware that your discounts can be quite aggressive, so please make sure you talk to us before purchasing from our cart.

Hey guys, I've got another lesson to submit today with a bit of inspiration from a few members here on DragoArt (namely AllyS). She did a nice job on 'drawing Yumigami from Okami' in her artwork gallery. So after spotting her artwork, I went to find out who this character was (since I'm roughly aware of Okami itself). Browsing a few fanarts for this rabbit, I wanted to do my own with a bit of influence from this Yumigami sculpture. I'll show you in simple steps 'how to draw Yumigami from Okami', step by step. It was definitely pleasant to work on, and drawing animals is probably one of my favorites to do. Let me know if this tut was easy enough or how you did! Thanks so much for viewing, and have fun with your future drawing endeavors. Note, I do not take credit for the background!
DragoArt members upload artwork and drawing tutorials! They are also allowed to leave comments on tutorials, profiles, etc. Many more features, as well; it's way better than just being a boring guest! Register Now!

A little astro art for today: as part of my analysis of stellar orbits of ultracool subdwarfs (presented at the 214th American Astronomical Society meeting in Pasadena, CA), I decided to try computing and visualizing the orbits of nearly 500 L-type dwarfs from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) based on kinematic data produced by Sarah Schmidt – you know, just for fun.
The orbits were generated by assuming that the gravitational potential of our Galaxy can be described by smooth, azimuthally symmetric functions (so-called "Plummer spheres") that describe the thin disk, thick disk, halo and bulge populations of our Galaxy (see this link for good technical discussion of such models). I then use a simple numerical integrator (Runge-Kutta model) and the initial position and velocity vectors from Sarah's work, to pre- and post-dict the orbits of these stars 500 million years into the past and future.
Each individual orbit is really a rough estimate of the star's true path; uncertainties in the current distance and motion of the star, and the simplistic model used for the Galaxy, means that errors can creep up within a single Galactic orbit (about 200 million years for the Sun). However, a statistical picture of the entire population can be realized from this exercise. Stars are born from massive molecular clouds that typically have circular orbits in the plane of the Galactic disk. As stellar populations age, random encounters and secular disturbances can "puff" up their orbits to higher eccentricities and inclinations. This is visually apparent in an orbital plot.
This first figure shows the orbits as viewed from above. Note that the bulk of the stars fill an annulus, the outer edge of which is near the radius of the Sun's Galactic orbit (our local neighborhood). Most of the stars in our area are coming from regions interior to this radius, rather than from the outer Galaxy, although a few L dwarfs do have pretty wide orbits (some off the projected area). At least one L dwarf gets within 1 kpc (3000 light years) of the center of the Galaxy.
This next image shows the same orbits, but now seen from the side along the edge of the Galactic plane. Again, we see that most of the orbits are bunched up into a band about 200 pc (600 light-years) in thickness – this is the "thin disk". There is a loose skin of more inclined orbits that looks like a "thick" disk, and then a few L dwarfs that have crazy inclined orbits taking them thousands of light-years above or below the Galactic plane. A being standing on a planet around one of these stars 100 million years ago would have had a tremendous view of the Milky Way Galaxy!
This last image is my favorite, showing the same orbits but in a cylindrical projection: radial distance from the center of the Galaxy (at left) versus vertical distance below or above the plane. Families of orbits become quickly evident, occupying "boxes" in this diagram, the result of the symmetry of the gravitational potential used. The outer borders are defined by the total mechanical energy of the star, which is primarily set by the star's local speed; the inner borders are defined by the angular momentum of the star. Thus, these two parameters – energy and angular momentum – are the two most important when working with symmetric potentials. These are the two quantities that best define planetary orbits around the Sun.
I found this to be a beautiful way of visualizing a fairly complex dataset, while illustrating the underlying orbital physics (as well as the assumptions made in the calculation). It's also just beautiful, appearing as a dragonfly with meaty body and gossamer wings, a remarkably synergy between biological and astronomical systems.
This image was awarded 2nd prize in the 2011 Art in Science competition conducted by the UCSD Library (some of the other winners can be seen here). Who knew celestial mechanics can be both interesting and pleasing!

Issac Stern is universally considered to be one of the greatest musicians of all time. He has been hailed as "one of the supreme violinists of this century" and "the first American violin virtuoso." He calls himself "a fiddle player."
When Stern was less than a year old, his parents fled with him from the Russian Revolution and settled in San Francisco. His earliest memories are of American life. Both his parents were musical, and his mother, who had studied at the St. Petersburg Conservatory, began teaching him the piano when he was six.
Unlike some child prodigies, he did not take up the violin until the advanced age of eight, and he was 14 before he made his recital debut. With his San Francisco Symphony Debut, playing a Brahms Violin Concerto, two years later, with Naoum Blinder, his major teacher and concertmaster of the orchestra, his career was launched. On October 11, 1937, at the age of 17, he made his New York debut at Town Hall. In 1943, he debuted at Carnegie Hall, and in 1944, with the New York Philharmonic under Arthur Rodzinski. He played with the New York Philharmonic for more than four decades.
With his early performances in New York, his career began to soar, at first under the guidance of impresario Sol Hurok.
By 1949, a New York Times critic noted: "It was not the violinist one seemed to be hearing. It was, in turn, Haydn, Bach, Bartók, Mozart, and Szymanowski. For such was Mr. Stern's immersion in the music that his own spirit and his immense technical skill were but the mediums that made the music audible."
Since his European debut in 1948 at the Lucerne Festival under Munch, he has concertized the world over including the USSR in 1956, played in the internationally renowned Istomin-Stern-Rose Trio and premiered violin works by Bernstein, Hindemith, Penderecki, Rochberg, and Schuman. He gave an historic performance, with the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Leonard Bernstein, was captured in the film A Journey to Jerusalem. More then a decade later, his visit to China resulted in the Academy Award-winning documentary From Mao to Mozart: Issac Stern in China, which also received a special mention at the Cannes Film Festival.
One of the most recorded violinists of our age, he is versatile in his performances. He was the ghost violinist for John Garfield in the 1946 film Humoresque and played the violin solo for the Oscar-winning soundtrack of Fiddler on the Roof. Another film in which he performed was Tonight We Sing, the film biography of Sol Hurok, in which he appeared as Eugene Ysaye.
Stern is not only a champion musician, he has also championed cultural preservation in America. In 1960, he organized a group to save Carnegie Hall from demolition and was instrumental in the decision to preserve it as a National Historic Landmark. Consequently, he became president of the Carnegie Hal Corporation, a position he held for over thirty years. He was featured in the Emmy Award winning "Carnegie Hall: The Grand Reopening" (1987).
Among the numerous awards he has received is the first Albert Schweitzer Music Award bestowed on him "for a life dedicated to music and devoted to humanity."

Katis set three Uris Pool records to lead the Crimson to its 12th straight victory (Gil Talbot).
New York, N.Y. – The Harvard men's swimming and diving team won 13 of 16 events and freshman Chuck Katis set three pool records as the Crimson defeated Columbia Saturday afternoon, 206-92, in New York City. Harvard has now won 12 straight dual meets, and 10 straight against Ivy League foes.

text: Fluphenazine (Prolixin) Brand name: Prolixin® Tablet: 1 mg, 2.5 mg, 5 mg, 10 mg Liquid: Oral 0.5 mg/mL and 5 mg/mL (concentrate) Injection: Fluphenazine hydrochloride (short-acting) 2.5 mg/mL; fluphenazine decanoate (long-acting) 25 mg/mL Generic name: fluphenazine (flu FEN ah zine) Medication class: first generation antipsychotic (FGA) All FDA black box warnings are at the end of this fact sheet. Please review before taking this medication. What is Fluphenazine and What Does It Treat? Fluphenazine is a medication that treats schizophrenia. It is also known as a first generation antipsychotic (FGA) or typical antipsychotic. Fluphenazine rebalances dopamine to improve thinking, mood, and behavior. Symptoms of schizophrenia include: Hallucinations - imagined voices or images that seem real Delusions - beliefs that are not true (e.g., other people are reading your thoughts) Disorganized thinking or trouble organizing your thoughts and making sense Little desire to be around other people Trouble speaking clearly Lack of motivation Fluphenazine may help some or all of these symptoms. What Is The Most Important Information I Should Know About Fluphenazine? Schizophrenia requires long-term treatment. Do not stop taking fluphenazine, even when you feel better. With input from you, your health care provider will assess how long you will need to take the medicine. Missing doses of fluphenazine may increase your risk for a relapse in your symptoms. Do not stop taking fluphenazine or change your dose without talking to with your healthcare provider first. For fluphenazine to work properly, it should be taken everyday as ordered by your healthcare provider. The long-acting injectable form should be received every 2-3 weeks as ordered by your healthcare provider. It is the same medication as in the tablet form. Are There Specific Concerns About Fluphenazine and Pregnancy? If you are planning on becoming pregnant, notify your healthcare provider to best manage your medications. People living with schizophrenia who wish to become pregnant face important decisions. This is a complex decision since untreated schizophrenia has risks to the fetus, as well as the mother. It is important to discuss the risks and benefits of treatment with your doctor and caregivers. Breast-feeding is not recommended since fluphenazine does pass into breast milk. What Should I Discuss With My Healthcare Provider Before Taking Fluphenazine? Symptoms of your condition that bother you the most If you have thoughts of suicide or harming yourself Medications you have taken in the past for your condition, whether they were effective or caused any adverse effects If you ever had muscle stiffness, shaking, tardive dyskinesia, neuroleptic malignant syndrome, or weight gain caused by a medication If you experience side effects from your medications, discuss them with your provider. Some side effects may pass with time, but others may require changes in the medication. Any psychiatric or medical problems you have, such as heart rhythm problems, long QT syndrome, heart attacks, diabetes, high cholesterol, or seizures If you have a family history of diabetes or heart disease All other medications you are currently taking (including over the counter products, herbal and nutritional supplements) and any medication allergies you have Other non-medication treatment you are receiving, such as talk therapy or substance abuse treatment. Your provider can explain how these different treatments work with the medication. If you are pregnant, plan to become pregnant, or are breastfeeding If you smoke, drink alcohol, or use illegal drugs How Should I Take Fluphenazine? Fluphenazine is usually taken once or twice daily with or without food. Typically patients begin at a low dose of medicine and the dose is increased slowly over several weeks. The dose usually ranges from 2.5 mg to 10 mg. The dose of the long-acting injection ranges from 12.5 mg to 37.5 mg every 2-3 weeks. Only your healthcare provider can determine the correct dose for you. Use a calendar, pillbox, alarm clock, or cell phone alert to help you remember to take your medication. You may also ask a family member a friend to remind you or check in with you to be sure you are taking your medication. The long-acting injection form of fluphenazine is administered every 2-3 weeks. Your healthcare provider will administer these injections. The medication effects last for approximately 2 – 3 weeks. Fluphenazine liquid suspension should be measured with a dosing spoon or oral syringe, which you can get from your pharmacy. What Happens If I Miss a Dose of Fluphenazine? If you miss a dose of fluphenazine, take it as soon as you remember, unless it is closer to the time of your next dose. Discuss this with your healthcare provider. Do not double your next dose or take more than what is prescribed. If you miss a dose of fluphenazine long-acting injection, see your healthcare provider to receive your dose as soon as possible. What Should I Avoid While Taking Fluphenazine? Avoid drinking alcohol or using illegal drugs while you are taking fluphenazine. They may decrease the benefits (e.g. worsen your confusion) and increase adverse effects (e.g. sedation) of the medication. What Happens If I Overdose With Fluphenazine? If an overdose occurs call your doctor or 911. You may need urgent medical care. You may also contact the poison control center at 1-800-222-1222. A specific treatment to reverse the effects of fluphenazine does not exist. What Are Possible Side Effects Of Fluphenazine? Common side effects Rapid heartbeat, constipation, blurry vision, dry mouth, drop in blood pressure upon standing, feeling drowsy, dizzy, or restless Patients receiving fluphenazine decanoate long-acting injection may notice some pain at the site of the injection. This pain should resolve after a few days. Rare side effects Fluphenazine may increase the blood levels of a hormone called prolactin. Side effects of increased prolactin levels include females losing their period, production of breast milk and males losing their sex drive or possibly experiencing erectile problems. Long term (months or years) of elevated prolactin can lead to osteoporosis or increased risk of bone fractures. Serious side effects Some people may develop muscle related side effects while taking fluphenazine. The technical terms for these are extrapyramidal effects (EPS) and tardive dyskinesia (TD). Symptoms of EPS include restlessness, tremor, and stiffness. TD symptoms include slow or jerky movements that one cannot control, often starting in the mouth with tongue rolling or chewing movements. All antipsychotics have been associated with the risk of sudden cardiac death due to an arrhythmia (irregular heart beat). To minimize this risk, antipsychotic medications should be used in the smallest effective dose when the benefits outweigh the risks. Your doctor may order an EKG to monitor for irregular heart beat. Neuroleptic malignant syndrome is a rare, life threatening adverse effect of antipsychotics which occurs in 1% of patients. Symptoms include confusion, fever, extreme muscle stiffness, and sweating. If any of these symptoms occur, contact your healthcare provider immediately. Are There Any Risks For Taking Fluphenazine For Long Periods Of Time? Tardive dyskinesia (TD) is a side effect that develops with prolonged use of antipsychotics. If you develop symptoms of TD, such as grimacing, sucking, and smacking of lips, or other movements that you cannot control, contact your healthcare provider immediately. All patients taking either first or second generation antipsychotics should have an Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale (AIMS) completed regularly by their healthcare provider to monitor for TD. What Other Medications May Interact With Fluphenazine? Fluphenazine may block the effects of agents used to treat Parkinson's disease such as levodopa/carbidopa (Sinemet®), bromocriptine, pramipexole (Mirapex®), ropinirole (Requip®), and others. Fluphenazine may lower your blood pressure. Medications used to lower blood pressure may increase this effect and increase your risk of falling. Propranolol (Inderal®) is an example of this type of medication. The following medications may increase the risk of heart problems when used with fluphenazine: Antipsychotics including chlorpromazine (Thorazine®), thioridizine (Mellaril®), iloperidone (Fanapt®), paliperidone (Invega®), pimozide (Orap®), quetiapine (Seroquel®), and ziprasidone (Geodon®). Antiarrhymics (heart rhythm medications) including procainamide, quinidine, amiodarone (Cordarone®), dronedarone (Multaq®), and sotalol (Betapace®). The following medications may increase the levels and effects of fluphenazine: bupropion (Wellbutrin®) fluoxetine (Prozac®) and paroxetine (Paxil®). Metoclopramide (Reglan®) may increase the risk of EPS or TD when used in combination with fluphenazine. How Long Does It Take For Fluphenazine To Work? It is very important to tell your doctor how you feel things are going during the first few weeks after you start taking fluphenazine. It will probably take several weeks to see big enough changes in your symptoms to decide if fluphenazine is the right medication for you. If you take the fluphenazine long-acting injection, it will take a few days before fluphenazine is fully absorbed and at an adequate level to begin treating your symptoms. After starting fluphenazine long-acting injection for the first time, or re-starting after a time of no medication, your provider may also have you take fluphenazine tablets for a few days. Antipsychotic treatment is generally needed lifelong for persons with schizophrenia. Your doctor can best discuss the duration of treatment you need based on your symptoms and illness. Hallucinations, disorganized thinking, and delusions may improve in the first 1-2 weeks Sometimes these symptoms do not completely go away Motivation and desire to be around other people can take at least 1-2 weeks to improve Symptoms continue to get better the longer you take fluphenazine It may take 2-3 months before you get the full benefit of fluphenazine Summary of FDA Black Box Warnings Increased mortality in elderly patients with dementia-related psychosis Both first generation (typical) and second generation (atypical) antipsychotics are associated with an increased risk of mortality in elderly patients when used for dementia related psychosis. Although there were multiple causes of death in studies, most deaths appeared to be due to cardiovascular causes (e.g. sudden cardiac death) or infection (e.g. pneumonia). Antipsychotics are not indicated for the treatment of dementia-related psychosis.

Editor testifies Princess Diana was palace mole
LONDON - A journalist on trial in Britain's phone hacking scandal testified Thursday that Princess Diana provided him with information on the royals, including a phone directory, as part of her feud with her estranged husband, Prince Charles.
Former News of the World royal editor Clive Goodman said Diana handed over the data after her separation from Charles, when she was going through a "very, very difficult time" and was looking for media support. Diana and Charles separated in 1992 and divorced four years later. She died in a Paris car crash in 1997.
Goodman said the 1992 phone directory that she sent to his newspaper office gave him numerous staff contacts and telephone numbers that were helpful in his reporting on the royal family.
"She told me she wanted me to see the scale of her husband's staff and household, compared with others," Goodman said. "She felt she was being swamped by people close to his household. She was looking for an ally to take him on - to show there were forces that would rage against him."
Goodman, 56, has been linked to the long-running phone hacking scandal since his first arrest in 2006 for suspected hacking into the voicemails of royal aides. He was briefly jailed in 2007. He is on trial now for two counts of alleged conspiracy to commit misconduct in a public office, which he denies.
Rupert Murdoch shut down the News of the World tabloid in 2011 after the scope of the phone hacking scandal became known. Dozens of people have been arrested in the scandal, including former top Murdoch executives, and his company has paid out millions in compensation to victims.
