Butch Vanderbecks 38 Coupe
Alternative body styles still rule when it comes to bitchin street presence, and Butch Vanderbecks 38 Hudson is one of the coolest alt-rods that weve seen in a while. Butch bought his boys toy from the original owner, but only after promising that the car would be restored. While you really cant term this project a resto, its infinitely more useful in its current guise, that of a 9-second quarter-mile behemoth.
Butch, his brother Kevin and George Lucas (no, not that George Lucas) started the chassis work with an Alston kit but stretched, widened, lowered and narrowed it to fit the Hudson. Mustang II parts with a Wilwood rack-and-pinion unit and disc brakes provide the suspension up front, and a 4.86:1-stuffed 9-inch on coil-overs holds up the rear.
The powerplant responsible for the 9-second e.t.s is a Ceralli Competition-built poked and stroked big-block Chevy displacing 509 cubes and running such hardware as JE pistons, a Lunati valvetrain, ported Dart heads, Childs & Albert rods, a Holley Dominator carb, an MSD ignition and Dart headers. Butch runs the car primarily at Goodguys events, the rules for which prohibit Lencos, so the Hudson uses a Steves Trans Shop Powerglide. The dynoed 800 horses (no nitrous) gets to the ground through 33x15x15 Goodyears on Weld Pro Star wheels.
And about that bodywork. Butch and Bill Abate dropped the top by laying the windshield back 48 degrees, cutting the B pillar 5 inches, cutting the rear pillar 6 inches and laying the unmolested rear window forward for a total drop of 10 inches! The thought of the metalwork involved in this thing gives us nightmares!
The headlights are stock but the single taillight is a custom piece, hidden at the bottom of the rollpan. Its all covered in Du Pont Chromabase White base with Red Pearl mixed in the clear topcoat. We especially dig the fender-mounted spare. The interior is no-frills functionjust the necessary gauges (in addition to the stock Hudson gauges), electronics, Dedenbear shifter kicker, glass bucket and a window net.
The original owner, still alive at 80 years young, may not have envisioned this sort of outcome for his 56-year-old baby, but theres no way he can object to the 9.02 at 149 timeslip. Since our photos, Butch has lettered the side of the car with Hot Rod Hudson and is taking aim at a similarly lettered Willys.

Mayor Don Wesely today announced that all rides on StarTran will be free Saturday, December 8th for the Star City Holiday Parade in downtown Lincoln. The free day is sponsored by Amalgamated Transit Union Local 1293.
"Riding StarTran is a great way to beat the traffic heading to the Parade," said Mayor Wesely. "Thanks to the generosity of the Transit Union, bus rides will be free all day on all routes, making StarTran a great way to get around town for holiday shopping." The Parade begins at 11 a.m.
"This is one way we can give back to the community we serve," said Les Helms, Transit Union President. "We also want to make people aware of our organization and to promote the excellent bus service we have in Lincoln." The local Transit Union includes about 60 StarTran bus drivers and mechanics.
Mayor Wesely also helped dedicate 20 new low-floor buses, which will replace older non-accessible buses in the StarTran fleet. The 35-seat buses were built by the Gillig Corporation of Hayward, California.
"I want to commend StarTran for its ongoing effort to improve bus service, especially
for those with disabilities," said Mayor Wesely at the news conference at the League
of Human Dignity.
The Federal Transit Administration provided $4.3 million of the $5.2 million in funding for the new buses. The local portion came from the city's general fund.
Those wanting information on StarTran routes and schedules can call 476-1234 or check the city web site at www.lincoln.ne.gov.

What happens when there is not an acreage response to high prices? Well, in today's rice market, it could likely mean another year or two of high prices.
According to Milo Hamilton, Firstgrain Inc., Austin, Texas, "the way it normally works is that the rice price goes up, farmers get bullish and produce a lot of rice. But where is the acreage response going to be when wheat and soybeans prices are fairly firm, and the price of urea is going up?"
"If you compare this market to the last $11 market in 2002, we had a huge increase in rice production the next year. That was because our rice price got out of line with the rest of the world.
"With 2008 futures prices for rice at over $13 per hundredweight, "who would think we wouldn't see a (subsequent) increase in rice acres. But if things don't change, we could actually lose acres to wheat and soybeans. A lot can change if you get to $60 oil and $7 soybeans, but at this point in time, it's difficult to say you're going to get a production response."
As a result, rice prices could remain high for a couple of years, an observation also supported by USDA economist Nathan Childs. "I'd be hard pressed to come up with a factor that would likely reduce the U.S. price going into 2008-09."
Hamilton, interviewed at the USA Rice Outlook Conference in Orlando, said, "Farmers at the conference were there to learn two things – the status of the farm program, which is going to affect 2009 acreage, and maybe 2008 acreage if there is any kind of gelling of the farm bill before the crop is planted. They're also here to learn about the market."
Bobby Coats, an economist with the University of Arkansas Cooperative Extension Service said other economic factors could support rice as well. He noted that the Federal Reserve – concerned about U.S. economic growth – might lower the interest rates to stimulate growth. "That has the potential to be inflationary. And an inflationary setting in this global economic setting then becomes very bullish for commodities."
Coats agrees that wheat prices are one key to rice area next year. "If wheat prices move higher, then you start looking at soybean and corn prices to have significant upside potential. I expect stronger corn and soybean prices going over the next several months until we see a prospective plantings report. Under that scenario, we could see rice prices move on up, following the lead of corn, wheat, sorghum and soybeans."
Under a strong price scenario for rice, "we could have as many or more acres of rice planted in Arkansas next year. But there is also farm bill uncertainty, extremely high production costs and very strong soybean and corn prices. With weakness in rice, our rice acreage would be impacted because our production costs are out the roof.
"The bottom line is that 2008 has the potential to be a very good pricing year for rice. But we have a very complex global economy, so if we do get some significant weakness in that economy, it could pull equity and commodity markets down. But right now, it looks like we've gone through some corrections in both the equity and commodity markets, so in a few months we could see some relative price strength.
"At the end of the day, I think we will two solid years of global growth which lays a nice foundation for strong demand for commodities. I expect most of our food and fiber commodities to top from now over the next 12 months."

What a fun article-- I dug the original out of my paper when I saw your post. And the big photo on the front of the section makes your marshmallows look sooooo tasty!ReplyDelete
Good for you!!! What a great article! Enjoyed the document on making marshmallows also. I started making my own marshmallows last year, will never buy them again. No comparision. Will give the green tea version a try, sounds interesting.ReplyDelete
I just read the article and had to come online to tell you that it was great to read about you. I would have never thought to make my own marshmallows either. This might be a fun spring break project to do with the kids.ReplyDelete

Very cool! The finished marshmallows look amazing.ReplyDelete
Yay! Congratulations on the article. That was great! Those marshmallows look yummy!ReplyDelete
I really enjoyed the article, Rachel, and I love the picture of you holding the plate of marshmallows. You know, my mother-in-law made home-made marshmallows for Easter last year and sent them to us in a care package. My husband has been raving about them for the last 11 months, so I hope we another little package soon! If not, I feel secure knowing I can follow your recipe.ReplyDelete
That is so cool- almost as cool as making your own marshmallows from scratch! I am impressed!ReplyDelete
Congratulations! What a wonderful article. And I've been thinking about marshmallows lately--specifically, figuring out if it's possible to make them sugar-free, or at least lower glycemic-index. I know, it's blasphemy... but when you're diabetic, you have to do what you have to do!ReplyDelete
They're wonderful! I had some in my cocoa!ReplyDelete
That is so cool! Congratulations :)ReplyDelete
I am definitely trying that marshmallow recipe.
Nice article! I think the marshmallows you gave me were from that same shoot and they tasted every bit as good (maybe even better!)than they looked.ReplyDelete

Rbates necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 238 diseños de 44 diseñadores freelance.
I host and produce RailsCasts (http://railscasts.com) which has been around for about 4 years and has nearly 250 free screencasts on learning Ruby on Rails (a web development framework). The name is a combination of "Rails" and "screencasts". I created the logo when it first started and am now looking for a new logo or at least some inspiration.
The current logo is Gill Sans which is a common font, and I would like something more unique. I added the play button in the R which is my favorite part about the current logo. I also like how the triangle in the "t" accents the play button. Screencasts are videos and I want to play on the video theme.
I am targeting all Ruby on Rails developers and other web developers who are interested in learning it. The audience is largely made up of men who are passionate about computers and programming. They generally keep up with modern trends, know good design and user experience, and have a high appreciation for simplicity. The language they work with (Ruby) is beautiful and fun.
Visit the website (railscasts.com) to get an idea of the current design. The new logo should have a capital C (RailsCasts instead of Railscasts). No space before the C.
* I do NOT want a random symbol next to a generic font. The identity should be in the name.
* If there is a separate icon/symbol it would be nice if it flowed well with the Ruby on Rails logo, see attachment .
* It should be heavy on the presentation and video theme.
* It should be fun but also bold, techie and appeal to geeks.
* Arcade game logos are a good inspiration. See the attached file for several examples.
* Readability is very important, don't let the arcade theme lose that.
* It should be able to stand on its own without the tagline.
Be creative on:
* The color scheme can be anything. In the current site I use orange and blue, but I am not tied to this.
* The background can be either dark or light.
* It doesn't need to fit into the current website. I will redesign the site around this new logo.
* You can experiment with depth, shines or gradients.
I am looking for inspiration. Even if I don't find the perfect logo I will give the prize to the one that inspires me most.

Talk about vivid imagery. In announcing an Internet partnership between Stardust Technologies of Campbell, Calif., and the International Webcasting Association, Stardust announced that "250 million eyeballs will be tuned to the Internet by year 2000.''
Such a prediction begs a question: Does that mean 250 million people will be Web surfing by the millennium, or 125 million?
Kim Polese, founder and chief executive of Marimba Inc., is one of the most influential people in the country, according to Time magazine's 1997 list of the 25 most influential Americans.
As one of the developers of the Java programming language and one of the few women CEOs in information technology, she is the only high-tech entrepreneur on the list. Polese shares the honor with golf star Tiger Woods, Secretary of State Madeleine Albright and Scott Adams' cartoon character Dilbert.
Polese's company, based in Palo Alto, Calif., pioneered the delivery of computer applications over the Internet or intranets known as push technology or multicasting.
It has helped guide tanks in the desert and find sailors lost at sea. And now a global positioning system has aided in tracking runners in the Boston Marathon.
Worldwide Notification Systems, Atlanta, installed tracking technology in chase vehicles that followed the lead male and female runners in the 101st Boston Marathon on April 21. Coaches, runners and spectators, plus viewers of cable sports channel ESPN, could watch real-time speeds and locations of front-runners during the race.

Dietitian Cooks Up Strategy for Battling Rosacea
Michelle Dudash was diagnosed with rosacea less than a year ago, yet she is brimming with advice for her fellow rosacea sufferers. In fact, the 36-year-old registered dietitian, chef and author from Arizona went so far as to devote an entire entry on her food and cooking blog to tell her story and offer helpful hints to those who suspect they might have rosacea.
Michelle had battled acne previously and assumed acne was the culprit behind the redness, bumps and pimples that lingered for more than a year while she tried facial peels, expensive creams and acne medication.
"Things hit rock bottom when I needed to apologize to the makeup artist for the horrible state of my skin on the morning of a satellite media tour," she wrote on her blog. "The acne (or so I thought) was incredibly embarrassing, and physically painful, too. Would people think that I don't take care of my skin? That I don't wash my brushes? A dietitian is supposed to look healthy, after all."
At her husband's urging, Michelle made an appointment with a dermatologist, who diagnosed rosacea. Michelle left the office with a prescription for topical medication, along with directions to the National Rosacea Society's website, rosacea.org.
Michelle devoured the information on the website, and immediately changed her skin care routine, abandoning the scrub brush and salicylic acid she has been using in favor of her fingertips and a gentle cleanser. She also began keeping a food diary to identify any potential triggers. She was able to pinpoint pickled or fermented foods, heated beverages and spicy foods as triggers.
Within four months, Michelle said her complexion had improved so much she could venture out in public without makeup or huge sunglasses covering her face. With so little evidence of rosacea, the condition rarely is a topic of conversation for Michelle, but she was eager to share some advice for those who are going through what she experienced so recently:
• "The doctor might not have time to explain Rosacea 101 to you, so educate yourself from trusted sources. Read all the NRS materials."
• "Take your skin-care routine seriously. I don't fall asleep without washing my face."
• "Cosmetics and skin-care products don't necessarily have to be expensive to be effective."

I'm in the top half of my law school at a T1 (30-40 range) and made 10/hr last year, during my 2L summer. I worked for a solo back in my hometown and it was the only offer I had to do any legal work. If I were you, I'd take the job and not even ask for more money. You don't want to sound like you have a sense of entitlement.
I would like to make two points on different subjects:#1 Take the job at $10.00 most 1L's are doing unpaid internships this summer. Getting paid anything rocks, plus taking over for a paralegal instead of just doing legal research will teach you how to actually DO stuff, which is invaluable if you want to practice in the field.#2 I don't understand why the people who can't find jobs can't find jobs. I'm at a T4, and have a paying job lined up. My school is well respected locally, but pretty much unheard of on the wider market. So, I'm staying in town. I wonder if the jobless posters' interviewing abilities aren't up to par, and that includes cover letter writing, and resume writing. Having great numbers won't always overcome horrible presentation. I also wonder what markets and types of jobs they are looking at. There are plenty of jobs out there, just not plenty of BIGLAW jobs.
Not sure how the study was done but I don't have any reason to doubt the numbers.
I still want to make a counter just because I know that a few of the positions I have lined up pay atleast 12-15 per hour and I think one of those will pan out.After hearing all the wisdom of your peers, I still think that is the right move. I think it can be done with tact. And, I think it can be done without conditioning acceptance of employment on the add'l $5/hr. That is, "I accept, but how do you feel about $15/hr." They may counter w/ $12/hr, in which case you are better off. From the firm's perspective: Paying you $15 is still a deal over the prior paralegal, especially if they are investing in your future, and acquiring someone w/your Spanish skills.
insulting the people who can't find jobs as having no personality or interview skills is not a wise idea. I know a LOT of these people, and I can say that for many of them, this is just untrue. It's a tight market right now, and while I don't think that's an excuse to sit on your butt, it does mean that a lot of desirable people can't find a paying job. Karma is a bitchh on this kind of stuff, so I suggest you stay humble at this early stage in your legal career and be grateful for someone giving you a break. And no, I'm not bitter--I have a job, I just feel very badly for my friends who (through no fault of their own) don't.

Barkley: I agree with Martin verdict
Charles Barkley finally spoke publicly on the Trayvon Martin verdict, and his comments may shock many of his fans.
The George Zimmerman verdict ignited a firestorm around the country, including the sports world. Here are the most provocative athlete responses.
"I agreed with the verdict," Barkley said Thursday on CNBC's "Closing Bell with Maria Bartiromo".
"I feel sorry that young kid got killed. But they didn't have enough evidence to charge him (George Zimmerman)."
Added Barkley: "Something clearly went wrong that night. Clearly, something went wrong and I feel bad for anybody that loses a kid. But if you look at the case, and you don't make it ... there was some racial profiling, no question about it. Something happened to change the dynamic of that night. And that's probably not a popular opinion among most people but just looking at the evidence, I agreed with the verdict."
Barkley said what upset him was not the verdict, but the racist attitudes expressed by many people who commented on the case.
"It gives every white person and black person, who's racist, a platform to vent their ignorance," Barkley said. "That's the thing that bothered me the most. I watched this trial closely and I watched all these people on television, talking about it. A lot of these people have a hidden agenda ... The bias comes out."

The movie is out. Hang Onto Your Heart: Birddogging for the Self-Employed has some fresh ideas for Republicans and Democrats, voters and strategists. But there isn't much time left. OFFICIAL SITE
Mitt Romney claims to represent American small business. A scene from Hang Onto Your Heart demonstrates that he doesn't even know there is a Self-Employment Tax on 23 million small businesses. WATCH NOW
The Republicans' answers for the self-employed are now the subject of a documentary film. Hang Onto Your Heart earned The Accolade's Award of Merit for its spirited challenge to the Republican small business mantra, and it will be made freely available before the general election.
This year's birddogging expedition gets a write-up in You're the Boss, The New York Times' small business blog. Robb Mandelbaum offers commentary on what Romney, Santorum, Paul, and Huntsman had to say about the self-employed. Read the article or see it for yourself.
For more coverage, see WMUR (television host of the New Hampshire debate) and the Los Angeles Times.
This birddogging season features an entirely different cast of characters—the Republicans—and our story takes a new medium. Just in time for the election, DontSubmit.org's YouTube channel has all the presidential candidates in New Hampshire on camera. WATCH NOW
New Hampshire is a great place to birddog insofar as nearly all the presidential candidates focus a large measure of their in person campaign appearances there the month before the New Hampshire presidential primary, the events are relatively small, and from the center of the state the candidates are nearly always less than an hour and a half away. READ MORE
"Birddogging" is an expression used to describe the activities of an advocate who follows candidates for the purpose of declaring a point of view, and hopefully moving candidates to that same opinion. What follows are my experiences birddogging on behalf of the self-employed in the three weeks prior to the 2004 New Hampshire presidential primary. READ MORE

An effort by an anti-abortion state senator to restrict state-funded abortions using state law, not a doctor's opinion, to define what is "medically necessary" was sharply challenged Wednesday during a legislative hearing.
Sen. John Coghill, R-Fairbanks, is the prime sponsor of Senate Bill 49 and chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, where the measure drew support from three out-of-state experts -- two doctors and a psychologist -- handpicked by Coghill.
Sen. Bill Wielechowski of Anchorage, the only Democrat on the Judiciary Committee, aggressively confronted all three, at one point asking the psychologist whether her research linking abortion to mental problems had been "decisively debunked."
In Alaska, the fight to restrict abortion has been raging for years. Coghill said Wednesday he's long been stymied by the bipartisan Senate coalition, which conservatives succeeded in dismantling after the November election. Now Republicans rule the Senate and House and he's in charge of Judiciary.
"I wanted to get my side showing that I had thought through the health care issue," Coghill said. That's important because his bill isn't being heard by the Senate Health and Social Services Committee, Coghill said. Sen. Bert Stedman, R-Sitka and the newly tapped health panel chairman, is generally more interested in oil taxes than social causes and said he requested it not be sent to his committee.
Coghill said he's going to allow Planned Parenthood and the ACLU to testify on Monday and will invite public testimony as well.
His measure says that only serious physical problems -- not mental health issues -- should be grounds for medically necessary state-paid abortions. A woman suffering from mental or emotional problems could still pay for her own abortion, Coghill says.
If a woman is at serious risk of death or "impairment of a major bodily function" because of her pregnancy, the abortion would be considered medically necessary under the bill. Among the qualifying conditions are: heart failure, coma, sickle cell anemia, kidney infection, diabetes with severe organ damage, eclampsia (seizures related to pregnancy), and rupture of amniotic membranes.
Coghill's bill is a result of an Alaska Supreme Court ruling in 2001 that the state had to fund "medically necessary" abortions if it funded maternity care, to avoid discriminating among pregnant women who choose different paths.
Last year in Alaska, there were 1,629 abortions, two more than the year before, though generally the number has been shrinking, according to reports compiled by the Alaska Bureau of Vital Statistics. Some 581 abortions in 2012 were paid for by Medicaid, a drop of 42 from the year before.
Many of the state-paid abortions likely were elective, not medically necessary, Coghill's aide, Chad Hutchison, asserted to the committee.
He based that on a 2004 study examining why women have abortions. The study, by the Guttmacher Institute, a private New York-based research and education group that supports abortion rights, found that just 4 percent of the women listed their own physical health problem as their main reason, he said.
Hutchison didn't mention that 12 percent said physical problems were among the reasons or that 13 percent listed possible health problems with the fetus as a factor.
Coghill said he crafted the measure with the help of his experts and by reading the 2001 court decision. His bill has six co-sponsors including two of his five committee members. Sen. Lesil McGuire, R-Anchorage and another committee member, was silent during the hearing. When a reporter asked her view afterwards, she waved away the question and dashed off.
Psychologist Priscilla Coleman, a professor of human development and family studies at Bowling Green State University in Ohio, told the committee she has "published more peer-reviewed studies on abortion and mental health than any other researcher in the world" and frequently is called to testify because of her expertise. She said she has reviewed numerous studies by others as well.
She contended that "abortion is a substantial contributing factor" in mental health problems and called it a "risky choice" for women with mental issues.
"There is an abundance of literature documenting the association between abortion and declining mental health status," Coleman said, reading prepared remarks over the phone. "Therefore, I am of the opinion that abortion is never justified based on mental health grounds and abortion should not be paid for by the state of Alaska due to the presence of any form of mental illness in women."
Wielechowski was ready for her.
Didn't the Guttmacher Institute fault her research, with a written statement headlined "Study purporting to show link between abortion and mental health outcomes decisively debunked?" he asked.
"You're referring to one paper where there was an error that was corrected and the article stands," Coleman answered. She's published 37 abortion-related papers, including a "meta-analysis" reviewing many other studies, she said.
Guttmacher, and researchers at the University of California, San Francisco, said that her study failed to distinguish between mental problems that occurred before abortions and those that materialized afterwards.
"This was an abuse of the scientific process to reach conclusions that are not supported by the data," Julia Steinberg, an associate professor at the University of California, San Francisco, said in a March 2012 statement published on Guttmacher's Web site. And Coleman used her own flawed research in her meta-analysis of other studies, Guttmacher said.
Wielechowski also raised issues with Coghill's other experts.
He asked Susan Rutherford, a maternal-fetal medicine doctor at EvergreenHealth Medical Center in Washington, whether she had written a paper linking abortion to breast cancer.
No, she said.
Do you believe there's a link? he asked.
"You know there's some compelling evidence that it could be," Rutherford said. She mentioned a pro-choice breast cancer expert who found an increased risk, particularly for women who had abortions as teens.
That contradicts the National Cancer Institute, Wielechowski said.
There are flaws in medical literature, Rutherford responded.
She told the committee that kidney infections don't belong on the list of what justifies an abortion but said legislators may want to consider adding fetal abnormalities, because that is accepted in the medical community.
The third expert, John Thorp, is an obstetrician-gynecologist at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill who worked with Coghill's staff to come up with the list of serious health conditions that could justify an abortion.
Wielechowski pressed him on his views regarding requiring an ultrasound before an abortion, a controversial practice that pro-choice supporters say is intended to discourage a woman from going through with the procedure. Thorp said he believed an ultrasound should be done to check for complications.
Planned Parenthood Votes Northwest, the organization's political arm, raised concerns about the experts both before and after the hearing.
Asked about the credibility issues, Coghill said, "We could probably say the same thing about their experts."
In January, the state Department of Health and Social Services began requiring doctors to certify an abortion either was medically necessary, or was the result of rape or incest or a matter of the woman's life being in danger, in order to receive Medicaid payment.
But the new rule didn't define "medically necessary."

Hello folks,
First of all, sorry for probably duplicating post (though hard to find among the thousands of posts) or articles.
This is probably an already discussed topic, though I've to say I've no idea what to trust and I've never been kiting in US so far, so i'd like to take advice from local people.
I'm new here, from Switzerland and currently living in Shanghai, I'm kiting for about 8 years but more intensively the last two years. Kiteboarding has become my passion.
I'll have the opportunity to move to US next year and having quite flexible location, I'd like to have your advice guys of where the best wind is.
When i'm talking about wind, I'm talking about 15 knots at least and nothing bigger than a 12m kite.
So on the bay area, how many days per month or how many weekends can you kite each month ? Location, season, .. Is there any stable thermal wind ?
Do you usually do weekend trips to some places by car / airplane ?
What about Los Angeles and around Miami ?
Also any advice what's also the best place considering personal life.
Thanks for your advices !

Eagles View Consulting
We are a small consulting firm offering outsourced Vice President of Sales and outsourced Business Development services. Our focus is on small-to-midsized companies in the mid-Atlantic region in need of direction and mentoring. We are part-time and on-site; we come in and roll up our sleeves to help turn around sales teams. In general, our mantra could be stated as "you started your business because you love what you do - focus on your passion and let us run your sales team." Our current corporate tag line is "Are you satisfied with your Sales Pipeline?," but this is destined to changed. We are a young company that is poised to grow once we develop a strong corporate identity - this collateral will be the next step.
We focus on businesses of varying sizes across many markets. In general, our outsourced Vice President of Sales audience is comprised of the owners of $5M-50M businesses in the technology, manufacturing, professional services and equipment industries - in a primarily business-to-business sales environment. These people are generally overwhelmed by having a sales team of 2-10 reps to manage, and our specialty is coming in and taking that pressure and workload of their desks.
Our Business Development clients are comprised of businesses who either find they don't have the time to make cold-calls for new leads, our would simply like to focus on running appointments and chasing warm/hot leads instead of generating them in-house.
We need both of these groups to feel that we are a large group of professionals worthy of national attention.
We are looking for a number of things with this contest. These items should be created using the attached logo design, as well as some preliminary ideas that were developed in a previous contest (two separate files.) We really like the current color scheme. Here are the items we are looking for, with some more description:
- A business card design; we really like the design attached, very cool. We like the idea of not having our name on the back, but the faded look of the logo-over-logo. We would be thrilled to see how "Sales Team Management" could be worked onto the back of the card. Feel free to play around a bit here.
- Envelope design; the attached is very close.
- Letterhead; the attached is very close.
- PowerPoint slide design; both for a cover/title page, as well as the internal slides. We like the idea of having our logo appear on every page, perhaps in a blue bar across the bottom or side.
- Proposal cover page and internal body pages; for use in Word, corporate style - a beautiful cover with room to fit a client name and our info, as well as the internal pages again with a blue bar/logo throughout.
We will want the files at the end so that we can use them as templates to create all our materials - in other words we need to have the specific design templates for PowerPoint, Word and so on created for us to use.
Best of luck!

While back in the States my mom and I decided to be tourists in our own town.
We walked along the battery and toured the Edmonston-Alston House & the Russell House.
My only regret from the day was that there was no photography inside these historic homes.
Highlight from the day? The fat orange cat we found basking in the warm Charleston sun.

Ernie Els withdraws from Tiger Woods event
PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. — The original field for the Northwestern Mutual World Challenge that Tiger Woods hosts each year in California included Ernie Els, who had never played the unofficial event. The Big Easy has kept his streak alive.
He withdrew this week to play the Nedbank Challenge in his native South Africa on Dec. 5-8, which now is considered an official-money event on the 2014 European Tour.
"This tournament holds some really wonderful memories for me and my whole family," Els said on his website. His staff sent him a list of achievements at the Nedbank Challenge, which included his three wins, record 16 appearances, a 69.93 scoring average and 46 rounds under par.
Els was replaced in the 18-man field at Sherwood Country Club by Dustin Johnson.
For a tournament that counts only toward the world ranking, the World Challenge still managed to attract 18 of the top 29 players in the world.
SEMINOLE'S ON DECK: These are good times for American amateurs who are good enough to be selected for the Walker Cup. Golf Digest reported on its website this week that Seminole Golf Club is the latest classic to host the Walker Cup, in 2021.
For Seminole, the Donald Ross design along the Atlantic Ocean in South Florida, it will be the first time for a public competition since it opened in 1929.
The course is not long by modern standards – 6,836 yards all the way back – but the wind and difficult greens make it a strong test for even the pros. Ben Hogan used to prepare for the Masters every spring at Seminole. The club has a pro-member event each spring, and Rickie Fowler has the low score at 65.
The Walker Cup was played this year at National Golf Links on Long Island. It previously was at Merion in 2009 and Chicago Golf Club in 2005. The next American venue will be Los Angeles Country Club (2017). When held in Britain & Ireland, it has gone to Royal County Down and Royal Aberdeen in recent years. The event next will be played in 2015 at Royal Lytham & St. Annes.
WELCOME TO THE 60s: Tiger Woods doesn't play a lot of PGA Tour events where he has all four rounds in the 60s and still doesn't win. It happened once this year at The Barclays, where he was runner-up. It happened once in 2012 at the Deutsche Bank Championship. Before that, go all the way back to the Tour Championship in 2006.
Part of that is because of the difficult golf courses on his schedule.
There were 10 players in the 2013 season who had at least three tournaments where they shot in the 60s every round without winning.
The leaders of the hard-luck category: Zach Johnson and Brendon de Jonge each had four tournaments with all four rounds in the 60s and no trophy.
DIVOTS: The McGladrey Classic at Sea Island might not be hurt so much next year from missing players who were in Shanghai the previous week. Tournament officials said the 2014 event will be held Oct. 23-26, before the tour does its two-week Asia Swing. Equally important for Sea Island, it will be before the Florida-Georgia game in Jacksonville, Fla. Sea Island is the unofficial headquarters for Georgia fans going to the game. … Los Angeles Lakers great Jerry West is stepping away from his role as executive director of the Northern Trust Open at Riviera after just more than three years. The tournament has hired former UCLA golf coach O.D. Vincent to replace him. Vincent recently was senior associate athletic director at Washington. "My goal was to help elevate the tournament as a way to give back to the city that has given me so much," West said. … Jack Nicklaus helped the Western Golf Association raise $900,000 for the Evans Scholars Foundation last week when he was honored at the WGA's annual "Green Coat Gala" in Chicago.
STAT OF THE WEEK: Eleven Americans are in the final stage of European Tour Q-School, up from five a year ago.
FINAL WORD: "I enjoyed the summer. Everybody leaves, you see, so it's nice and quiet." – Lee Westwood of England, on his first summer since moving to South Florida.

Last night we asked you how you grip the iPhone while typing, and tonight we're continuing our typing series by asking you about your orientation -- portrait or landscape?
Apple says they designed the iPhone with one-handed ease of use in mind, and maybe that's why it took them until iOS 3 to make landscape mode persistent across most of the built-in apps. But for a lot of people, the extra-wide, Cadillac-style typing experience of landscape is exactly what they want, number of hands it takes to hold and use it be damned.
For others, it might depend on the app. Portrait for on the go or quick stuff, landscape for speed-texting or longer-form writing.
When you want to get your type on, which orientation do you hold your iPhone? Portrait or landscape? Vote in the poll up top and give us the details and why you do what you do below!

March 9, 2009
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - At the completion of the NCAA Regional Championship at MIT, in Cambridge, Mass., four fencers from the Yale men's fencing team had performed well enough to advance to the NCAA National Championship. In epee, the two qualifiers were captain Michael Pearce, who finished fourth overall, and freshman Alexander Cohen, who finished eighth overall. The team also qualified two foilists. Junior John Gurrieri took fifth place and freshman Shiv Kachru grabbed ninth place.
A maximum of two fencers, per weapon class, are allowed to qualify for nationals from each school, meaning that the Bulldogs did as well as possible in foil and epee. Exceptionally, this was the most fencers that the Bulldogs have qualified for the NCAA National Championship in at least five years.
Sophomore Nathaniel Botwinick and senior Sebastian Cano-Besquet both just missed the cut, coming in 13th and 14th place respectively.
The NCAA National Championship will take place on the weekend of Mar. 21-22 in University Park, Pa.
Full results for the NCAA Regional competition can be found here.

Permissive ignition of fireworks within city limits began Monday, and the Bastrop Fire Department wants people of all ages to celebrate Independence Day safely this year.
Permissive ignition of fireworks within city limits began Monday, and the Bastrop Fire Department wants people of all ages to celebrate Independence Day safely this year.
"We want everybody to enjoy the holiday," said Fire Chief Eric Montgomery. "But we do want to caution them – it's hot and dry outside."
City code allows fireworks to be ignited from 8 a.m. until 9 p.m. June 25-July 5, on Veterans Day and from Dec.15-Jan. 1 for Christmas and New Years. The code prohibits either the selling or ignition of "bottle rockets," or any type of rocket attached to a wooden shaft greater than 2 inches in length.
Fireworks may not be ignited within two blocks of the Morehouse Parish Courthouse Square, within 1,000 feet of any church, hospital, nursing home or school, or within 75 feet of any location where fireworks are sold. Violation of the fireworks ordinance is a misdemeanor offense. Penalties include fines from $25 to $500, jail time from 10 days to six months, or both as determined by the city judge.
Although serious fireworks-related accidents have not been a problem in Bastrop in recent years, Montgomery said the dry weather means citizens should exercise special care this Fourth of July. He offers the following safety tips: • Never allow young children to play with or ignite fireworks.
• Avoid buying fireworks that are packaged in brown paper because this is often a sign that the fireworks were made for professional displays and they could pose a danger to consumers.
• Always have an adult supervise fireworks activities. Parents often don't realize that young children suffer injuries from sparklers. Sparklers burn at temperatures of about 2,000 degrees – hot enough to melt some metals.
• Never place any part of your directly over a fireworks device when lighting the fuse. Back up to a safe distance immediately after lighting fireworks.
• Never try to re-light or pick up fireworks that have not ignited fully.
• Never point or throw fireworks at another person.
• Keep a bucket of water or a garden hose handy in case of fire or other mishap.
• Light fireworks one at a time, then move back quickly.
• Never carry fireworks in a pocket or shoot them off in metal or glass containers.
• After fireworks complete their burning, douse the spent device with plenty of water form a bucket or hose before discarding it to prevent a trash fire.

Hysteroscopy is a procedure to look at the inside of the womb (uterus). Your doctor can look at:
- The opening to the womb (cervix)
- The inside of the womb
- The openings of the fallopian tubes
This procedure may be done to diagnose or treat a health problem.
Alternative Names
Hysteroscopic surgery; Operative hysteroscopy; Uterine endoscopy; Uteroscopy
Hysteroscopy gets its name from the tool used to view the womb. This tool is called a hysteroscope. It is a thin, lighted tube. It sends images of the inside of the womb to a video monitor.
Before the procedure, you will be given medicine to help you relax and block pain. Sometimes, anesthesia medicine is given to help you fall asleep.
- The doctor places the scope through the vagina and cervix, into the womb.
- Gas or fluid may be placed into the womb so it expands. This helps the doctor see the area better.
- Pictures of the womb can be seen on the video screen.
Small tools can be used through the scope to remove abnormal growths or tissue for examination. Certain treatments, such as ablation, can also be done through the scope. Ablation uses heat, cold, or electricity to destroy the lining of the womb. Another treatment that can be done through the scope is called the Essure procedure. This places coils into your fallopian tubes to block them.
Hysteroscopy can last 15 minutes to more than 1 hour, depending on what is done.
Why the Procedure Is Performed
This procedure may be done to:
- Treat heavy or irregular periods
- Block the fallopian tubes to prevent pregnancy
- Diagnose abnormal structure of the womb
- Diagnose thickening of the lining of the womb
- Find and remove abnormal growths such as polyps or fibroids
- Find the cause of repeated miscarriages or to remove tissue after a pregnancy loss
- Find uterine or cervical cancer
- Remove an intrauterine device (IUD)
- Remove scar tissue from the womb
- Take a tissue sample (biopsy) from the cervix, womb
This list is not all-inclusive.
Risks of hysteroscopy include:
- Hole (perforation) in the wall of the womb
- Scarring of the lining of the womb
Damage to the cervix
- Need for surgery to repair damage
Risks of any pelvic surgery include:
- Damage to nearby organs or tissues
- Blood clots, which could travel to the lungs and be deadly (rare)
Risks of anesthesia include:
- Nausea/vomiting
- Dizziness
- Headache
- Breathing problems
- Lung infection
Risks of any surgery include:
- Infection
- Bleeding
Before the Surgery
Your doctor will tell you the results of your procedure.
Biopsy results are usually available with 1-2 weeks.
Women with heavy periods usually have fewer symptoms when certain treatments are done during hysteroscopy. These include ablation or removal of fibroids or polyps.
After the Procedure
Your doctor may prescribe medicine to open your cervix. This makes it easier to insert the scope. You need to take this medicine about 8-12 hours before your procedure.
Before any surgery:
- Always tell your doctor about all the medicines you take. This includes vitamins, herbs, and supplements.
- Tell your doctor if you have diabetes, heart disease, kidney disease, or other health problems.
- Tell your doctor if you are or could be pregnant.
- If you smoke, try to stop. Ask your doctor or nurse for help. Smoking can slow wound healing.
In the 2 weeks before your procedure:
- You may need to stop taking drugs that make it hard for your blood to clot. These include aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin), naproxen (Naprosyn, Aleve), clopidogrel (Plavix), and warfarin (Coumadin). Your doctor or nurse will tell you what you should or should not take.
- Ask your doctor or nurse which medicines you can take on the day of your procedure.
- Tell your doctor or nurse if you have a cold, flu, fever, herpes outbreak, or other sickness.
- You will be told when to arrive at the hospital. Ask if you need to arrange for someone to drive you home.
On the day of the procedure:
- You may be asked not to drink or eat anything 6-12 hours before your procedure.
- Take any approved drugs with a small sip of water.
Outlook (Prognosis)
You may go home the same day. Rarely, you may need to stay overnight.
- You may have menstrual-like cramps and light vaginal bleeding for 1-2 days. Ask your doctor if you can take over-the-counter pain medication for the cramping.
- You may have a watery discharge for up to several weeks.
- You can return to normal daily activities within 1-2 days. Do not have sex until your doctor says it is okay.

#1 EXCLUSIVE: Iran Nuclear Scientist Defects to U.S. In CIA 'Intelligence Coup'03-30-2010, 11:55 PM
By MATTHEW COLE
March 30, 2010
An award-winning Iranian nuclear scientist, who disappeared last year under mysterious circumstances, has defected to the CIA and been resettled in the United States, according to people briefed on the operation by intelligence officials.
Shahram Amiri,
The officials were said to have termed the defection of the scientist, Shahram Amiri, "an intelligence coup" in the continuing CIA operation to spy on and undermine Iran's nuclear program.
A spokesperson for the CIA declined to comment. In its declassified annual report to Congress, the CIA said, "Iran is keeping open the option to develop nuclear weapons though we do not know whether Tehran eventually will decide to produce nuclear weapons."
Amiri, a nuclear physicist in his early 30s, went missing last June three days after arriving in Saudi Arabia on a pilgrimage, according to the Iranian government. He worked at Tehran's Malek Ashtar University, which is closely connected to Iran's Revolutionary Guard, according to the Associated Press.

I imagine the O will get the shock of his life when the details are given to him. Then brush it off as a "CIA fabrication"

Pets, Pets, Pets
Britain has a new prince, but Long Island has a new princess. Congratulations to Princess Gabby Cohen CGC. This Pit's American Kennel Club (AKC) Canine Good Citizen title is official. Gabby overcame incredible obstacles to receive such recognition, thanks to her enduring spirit and a group of supporters who refused to give up on her when her future looked bleak.
Earning a Canine Good Citizen certificate is an accomplishment for any dog. For sweet Gabby, this title was close to a miracle. After spending nearly two years in shelters while suffering from supposed seizures and drug side effects that turned her into a zombie, a visit to a neurologist and an MRI (made possible by her friends) put Gabby on the road to wellness, and closer to an amazing adopted home sent from the dog gods. Here is Gabby's story:
In February 2011, Gabby came into Hempstead Town Shelter as a stray. After six months kenneled there alongside 100 other Pits, she developed what was thought to be a seizure disorder. The shelter vet put her on phenobarbital twice a day. She moved to a crate in the front hallway for closer observation. Most felt stress in a crowded environment triggered the disorder, but we will never know if her symptoms were new or just discovered later in such a busy kennel.
Pleas for rescue went unanswered until Gabby had been at the Town shelter 14 months. Now overweight, she moved next door to Last Hope Animal Rescue in April 2012 wearing a t-shirt to protect her skin from flank alopecia. The meds plus prolonged confinement probably contributed to her weight gain and baldness.
We hoped she'd do better in the smaller Last Hope environment with more volunteers to monitor her. Instead, her tremors became more frequent (or more eyes were noticing them) especially when Gabby was excited. She saw several more vets who increased her phenobarb dose and added potassium bromide. The drug cocktail did not stop the shaking but did zone her out more. Some Last Hope folks (including me) thought we were torturing the practically comatose dog and suggested putting her to sleep.
However, Gabby had fans at Last Hope who were not ready to call it quits. We have a dedicated volunteer medical team. Mark Schwartz, a retired RN and epidemiologist, had seen lots of people's reactions to seizure drugs. He, as well as others, felt her meds were making her catatonic and questioned whether she had true seizures. Several volunteers offered to help pay for a costly MRI for Gabby.
Gabby's trip to the neurologist and MRI in July 2012 changed everything. After an exam and asking Mark to video tape Gabby when she had the shakes, Dr. Gina Barone noted that Gabby could easily be distracted out of an episode, didn't lose consciousness, "paddle" or eliminate while having tremors. She diagnosed her with a benign idiopathic movement disorder rather than epilepsy, and recommended a procedure to wean her off all anticonvulsants slowly. Over time, Gabby regained her spunk and the tremors became infrequent.
Throughout this ordeal, Gabby was choosing her special someone. Last Hope leases the former Bideawee shelter. Michael Cohen had been a Bideawee volunteer for six years until it closed. He came back as soon as Last Hope opened the Wantagh adoption center two years ago. He has wonderful canine rapport and makes sure he spends time with the dogs that need the most. When he began walking Gabby, she took an instant liking toward him, howling and barking as she realized he was there. Volunteers would tell Mike that Gabby loved him because she made a fuss when he pulled into the parking lot.
As Leslie, Mike's wife, likes to say, "Gabby "Sadie Hawkins-ed" Mike." She chose him. The Cohens owned Bravo, a senior, rescued Whippet that was quite ill, so they weren't looking to adopt. Mike took Gabby home several times for short visits, but it wasn't until October after Bravo passed away that she became their foster dog. They adopted Gabby in December 2012.
That's when he began taking her to Monday obedience class in Baldwin as he had done for years with Bravo, who when younger, also earned a CGC certificate locally, as well as a lure coursing title in NJ. Gabby's trainer, John Pierce, knows Mike quite well. He is impressed with how connected Mike is with Gabby. "He has a good innate sense about dogs on a different level. Mike is patient and positive. He knows what dogs are thinking," Pierce said.
Gabby anticipates the fun and gets jumpy when Mike put on his fanny pack with her beef jerky training treats. She knows she is going to school. Mike said, "She loves the interaction with other dogs at class, and is calm and oblivious to drama when other dogs act up."
The Canine Good Citizen program, developed by Dr. Mary Burch, a certified applied animal behaviorist, has been used by the AKC since 1989 to foster owner responsibility and to reward dogs that learn good manners. The test, administered by an AKC certified evaluator, consists of 10 tasks, such as accepting a friendly stranger, walking through a crowd, coming when called and more. This year the AKC changed the program so dogs passing all 10 tests are awarded the "CGC" initials after their name as in other canine competitions like agility or formal obedience. Gabby had the most trouble with the "sit and come" because she feared Mike was leaving her. Heaven forbid.
Gabby's CGC certificate arrived last week. In June, Mike sent Gabby's friends at Last Hope this email: "Thought you would like to know, with the help of Gabby's obedience class trainer and a loyal cheering section, Ms. Gabby passed her AKC Canine Good Citizen test this past Saturday. In addition to the title of Princess, she will now have the CGC title designation added to her AKC title record (we recently registered her with the American Kennel Club's canine partners program). Ms. Gabby was very pleased with her accomplishment."
And because Dr. Burch and I have a mutual friend, she learned of Gabby's success the same day as Last Hope, and is also quite proud of the CGC princess.

Valve: 4" 3W Flanged, 254 CV, Proportional, Failsafe
The KMC VEB-56 series ball control valves are three-way, mixing or diverting, flanged valves, designed for control of hot water or chilled water. These valves range in size from 4 to 6 inches with equal-percentage flow characteristics. Leak-proof, blow-out-proof stems, and stainless steel ball and stem make these valves ideal for many applications.
These valves use KMC MEP-7500 series ControlSet actuators with proportional or tri-state inputs. Proportional models accept a 0–10 VDC, 2–10 VDC, or 4–20 mA control signal input from a thermostat, controller, or building automation system. A user-initiated, auto-mapping feature provides better equipment control by reassigning the input signal range over the desired reduced rotation range (from 45 to 95°). Plus, they feature a feedback voltage output that is proportional to the actuator position. Tri-state models are designed for use with floating thermostats, controllers, or building automation systems. An optional, long-life, capacitor-driven "fail-safe" feature allows simple switch-selectable fail direction in either direction upon power loss. Optional auxiliary switches are available for remote position indication or controller and equipment interface. A gear disengagement button allows positioning of the valve stem/plug without energizing the actuator.

Matt Vensel's NFL power rankings for Week 3
The Ravens evened their record to 1-1 over the weekend, but they did it with an unimpressive victory over the lowly Cleveland Browns. With a handful of teams improving to 2-0, that wasn't enough to gain ground in this week's rankings. But was their 14-6 victory enough to keep the Ravens from slipping again?

City of Lincoln
Mayor's Office
2006 Media Releases
Mayor Coleen J. Seng today announced that the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has awarded a grant of $700,000 to the Lincoln Action Program (LAP). The funds will support the Youthbuild Program, which helps at-risk students earn high school diplomas and gain experience in building affordable housing.
"We know that high school dropouts often face employment challenges and are at risk of becoming homeless," said Mayor Seng. "Youthbuild offers job training and helps the participants develop leadership skills At the same time, the program results in homes for lower-income families."
LAP was awarded a Youthbuild grant several years ago, and Executive Director Sue Hinrichs said 40 young people participated in the construction of two homes.
"The Youthbuild program is about far more than building homes. It's about giving disadvantage youth a future to build on," said Hinrichs. "It's amazing to watch as these young people transform their lives and become productive citizen in our community."
Details on the HUD grants can be found at www.hud.gov.
