Thierry J. needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 289 designs submitted by 74 freelance designers.
nobrakes photography
I started nobrakes.ch a couple of years ago, the website focus being mountain biking photographs, hence the domain name.
Over time the name hasn't changed but my area of expertise has diversified : sports, dance, concerts, events, portraits, commercial and editorial photography.
My photographs often have a very simple and clean look, and at the same time they are dynamic, capturing the peak moment. Some of my work can be seen here :
Companies, event organizers, associations, magazines, etc.
The target audience is broad but on average between 20 and 40 years old.
The logo should contain the "nobrakes" and "photography" words, with more emphasis on "nobrakes".
Although I started nobrakes.ch as a mountain biking photography website, I'm not limited to that field anymore and the logo should be generic.
It should be contemporary, clean and simple, not distracting when placed on the same webpage as a photograph. The logo should also convey dynamics in order to fit with my shooting style as well as with the brand name.
Please avoid including any camera, aperture or film negative in the design, this is too common and cliché for a photography related logo.
Logo will be used on the web and in print. I will need Photoshop and Illustrator files.

New Mexico Tech Scientists Watch for Alaska Volcano Eruption
SOCORRO, N.M., Feb. 5, 2009 – Two New Mexico Tech professors and a graduate student spent three days last week near Mount Redoubt in south central Alaska, setting up monitors in anticipation of an upcoming eruption.
Tech professors Ron Thomas and Paul Krehbiel set up a lightning sensing station in Kenai, Alaska, across Cook Inlet from the rumbling Mount Redoubt volcano.

Electrical engineering professor Dr. Ron Thomas, physics professor Dr. Paul Krehbiel and physics graduate student Sonja Behnke set up four sensing stations around the active volcano, along with a colleague from the University of Alaska-Fairbanks and others from the Alaska Volcano Observatory.
The New Mexico Tech researchers are investigating the little-studied phenomenon of lightning produced by volcanoes. Using instruments developed at Tech, the scientists will be able to map the lightning throughout the various phases of volcanic activity.
Behnke earned a bachelor's at New Mexico Tech in physics and is now working on her doctorate in physics. She said the excursion to Alaska fits nicely with her research.
"Hopefully the volcano erupts like it has in the past while all the stations are operating," she said. "It's great that we have antennae there now because we will be able to see the first part of an explosive eruption. I think that by studying different types of electric discharges we can gain a greater understanding of lightning."
Mount Redoubt has been active for centuries, with major eruptions in 1902 and 1989. Seismology studies indicate the volcano will erupt again – probably before the end of February.
"Our colleagues in Alaska expect Mount Redoubt to act like it did in 1989, with pretty major eruptions," Thomas said. "Seismic activity is lasting longer this time than it did last time. It could happen any day, but it could be another week or more."
Thomas said every volcano has its own personality; meaning, each eruption is similar in nature to previous eruptions.
"All that volcanic material coming out charged from the volcano and being injected into the atmosphere during an eruption creates something like a thunderstorm," Krehbiel said. "Some scientists have even coined the term 'dirty thunderstorm' to describe this effect."
The New Mexico Tech researchers haven't pinpointed the mechanism that triggers volcanic lightning, but they have discovered a different kind of volcanic electrical discharge, which seemed to emanate from the mouth of the volcano during the violently explosive, eruptive phases.
The trio – along with other lightning researchers at New Mexico Tech – will gather and analyze the data in an effort to better understand lightning, its genesis and its effects.
Scientists at the Alaska Volcano Observatory on January 30, 2009, warned that
an eruption was imminent. The next day, volcanic earthquakes increased to several
per hour and a large hole in the glacier on the side of the mountain was spotted.
The Anchorage Daily News has published regular updates about Mount Redoubt for
the past 10 days.
The headlines tracked the volcano's progress:
"Mount Redoubt rumbles: eruption possible," Jan. 25
"Redoubt huffs and puffs," Jan. 26
"Redoubt history points to likely eruption," Jan. 31
"Evidence of eruption continues to mount," Feb. 1
The newspaper has also published articles advising readers how to protect pets, how to protect themselves and their property and about the potential hazards to the oil terminal just north of the volcano.
Chasing volcanic lightning is akin to chasing tornadoes; it's all about being in the right place at the right time. The New Mexico Tech contingent acted quickly. After news broke about the seismic activity on Sunday, Jan. 25, the team met Monday, Jan. 26, and decided to go to Alaska. Three researchers flew to Alaska on Tuesday, Jan. 27, and had the sensors in place by Friday, Jan. 30.
Each of the four Lightning Mapping Array stations weighs about 40 pounds and is contained within a modified picnic cooler. The sensing stations can store up to three months of radio wave information and are capable of running unattended.
By the time the Tech trio arrived, their colleagues in Alaska had found general areas to set up the sensing stations. Thomas said the four stations have been set up across Cook Inlet from the volcano. Thomas, Krehbiel and Behnke found four cooperative people in accessible locations to serve as caretakers for the stations.
The team endured 10 degree temperatures, snow and high winds while setting up the instruments; nevertheless, they successfully deployed the sensors along a roughly 60 mile stretch of coast on the east side of Cook Inlet. The northernmost sensor is in a school teacher's house in Nikiski. The second station is in an architect's office in Kenai. In Clam Gulch, Thomas is borrowing space at the Clam Gulch Lodge. The southernmost sensor is at a public school in Ninilchik.
The Tech team met dozens of local residents, all of whom were very receptive to the presence of scientists – and accustomed to living in volcano country.
"Everyone was so happy to have the building that got the antenna," Behnke said. "We met a lady at the post office who was disappointed that she wasn't the one to get a station. In that sense, this project was very easy."
When Mount Redoubt erupts, Tech scientists and researchers will have their first ever data from an initial eruption of an explosive volcano. Three years ago, Thomas, Krehbiel and others arrived at Mount St. Augustine in Alaska a few days after the initial eruption. They captured data from subsequent eruptions, but with only two sensors, which weren't enough data points to create three-dimensional images.
In May 2008, three Tech professors placed four sensing stations around the Chaiten Volcano in Chile. Although they arrived two weeks after the initial explosive eruptions, they still found lightning in the plume. The Tech professors presented preliminary findings at a conference of the American Geophysical Union in December 2008, but they are still analyzing and interpreting the data.
Behnke is currently assembling and analyzing data collected from the Mount St. Augustine eruptions in 2006. She jumped at the chance to get field experience back in Alaska.
Behnke, who graduated from Laytonville High School in northern California, earned her bachelor's at New Mexico Tech in 2003. After graduation, she continued to work for Thomas studying lightning. She was the first author of a paper in the Journal of Geophysical Research in 2005. She returned to New Mexico Tech in 2007 to continue her research into lightning.
"I spend a lot of time working with Lightning Mapping Array data, but I hadn't had a chance to get out in the field and work with the hardware," she said. "Going to Alaska and setting up the stations was a good learning experience."
With the pending activity at Mount Redoubt, New Mexico Tech scientists will be adding to their wealth of knowledge about lightning and volcanoes.
"We think it's a good candidate for making lightning," Thomas said. "Last time (in 1989), it had an explosive phase, a dome-building phase and pyroclastic flows, which are different aspects of eruption. It should have an explosive phase."
During the strongest eruption at Mount St. Augustine in 2006, the New Mexico Tech lightning researchers observed more than 300 lightning discharges within the Augustine Volcano's ash plume, a maelstrom of hot air, gases, moisture, dust and ashes which first floated upwards of 30,000 feet and then drifted across the line-of-sight of the two monitoring stations.
Tech electrical engineering professor Dr. Bill Rison designed the mapping sensors using field programmable gate arrays that determine the arrival time of radio waves with 40 nanosecond accuracy.
"We'll measure the time the signals arrive at the four different stations," said Krehbiel, who has conducted lightning research at New Mexico Tech since the 1960s. "From the four stations, we can determine the location and time of the lightning surges. It's similar to triangulating."
Radio waves created by lightning travel about one foot per nanosecond. With equipment that captures information every 10 microseconds, the sensors will be able to pinpoint a three-dimensional location of lightning within about 40 feet, Krehbiel said.
Up to thousands of individual segments of a single lightning stroke can be mapped with the Lightning Mapping Array and later analyzed on high-end computers to reveal how lightning initiates and spreads throughout a thunderstorm ... or within a volcanic plume.
"We receive radio bursts of noise generated from sparks of lightning, just like the static you hear on your car radio during a thunderstorm," Thomas said. "We will use our sensing stations to locate the lightning and track its path."
Tech's pioneering research into lightning – both volcanic and thunderstorm lightning – has led to a series of scientific and technological breakthroughs, including proprietary sensing technology that allows scientists, meteorologists and storm chasers to pierce the veil of clouds to "see" lightning as it occurs.
"With each lightning flash, we'll be able to monitor how it moves through the clouds and where it goes," Thomas said. "If we take all our theories about lightning created in thunderstorms, we can learn about both types of lightning."

"Florentine Rock Star" Alessandro Gentili directs JMU's Semester in Florence program
By Martha Bell Graham
JMU Semester in Florence Administrative Coordinator Claire Stypulkowski with Florience Resident Director Alessandro Gentili.
Students call him Alessandro. JMU President Linwood H. Rose called him a "rock star" because even in Harrisonburg—4,500 miles from Italy's cultural cradle—students who've studied with the bearded Florentine greeted him enthusiastically during a recent trip to campus. He's Alessandro Gentili, professor in residence and director of the JMU Semester in Florence program.
Florence, or Firenze in Italian, is one of JMU's long-standing Study Abroad programs. For 23 years the program has introduced students to Italy, to European culture, to the masters of arts and science—and to Alessandro Gentili.
"Florence is the city of Renaissance," Gentili says, "revival of classics, Greek or Roman culture—and Greek or Roman philosophy. It's through the knowledge and appreciation of the other that you can return to a full appreciation of your own self. And that's what we're trying to do in Florence with our students. In ancient Greek, 'to travel' was synonymous with 'to return, and 'home' was synonymous with 'self.' If you don't leave home, there is no way you can return home, no way you can find your own self."
A graduate of the University of Florence, Gentili began teaching JMU students studying abroad in the mid-1980s when he returned to Italy after a stint at University College Cork in Ireland to join the academic staff of the British Institute of Florence. In 2000, he became director of JMU's Florence program.
The Florence program has two tracks: one in European studies and the other in art and art history.
Italian life, customs, traditions
"Our undergraduate students are staying with families, where they have the possibility of experiencing Italian life, Italian customs, Italian traditions on a daily basis, starting with food and cuisine," Gentili says. "Our families have very, very, very little English or no English at all, so our students try to speak Italian. And that's already a class in itself. It's a form of education all around."
Students study in the Palazzo Capponi, the glorious and historic 16th-century palace of the Capponi family, now owned by Pio Instituto de' Bardi (The Bardi Institute), a philanthropic organization dating from the 18th century that provides educational opportunities. It was with Gentili's help that the choice location was acquired. JMU is the only American university program located in Florence—the city that nurtured Dante, Galileo, Machiavelli and Michelangelo.
New master's program in European Union Policy
In 2007 JMU added a new master's program in European Union Policy. "It's the very first American program of that kind in Europe," Gentili says. "The Florence program now has two tracks: one in European studies and the other in art and art history that includes museum work and the history of decorative arts."
"When JMU students arrive they look, well, they're like lost souls," he says, "but slowly and surely they grow more and more self-confident. And they also grow stronger. It's fascinating to see them grow."

With March 1 fast approaching, many are unsure what the impending sequestrations mean – or if they will happen at all.
With March 1 fast approaching, many are unsure what the impending sequestrations mean – or if they will happen at all.
The sequestrations are a series of across-the-board spending cuts which were set to take affect Jan. 1 of this year. However, with the last-minute fiscal cliff deal Congress passed Jan. 2, the sequestrations were put off until March 1.
The sequestrations call for cuts across government funded entities, including Tinker Air Force Base.
With some 2,000 Pottawatomie County residents working at Tinker in some capacity – temporary, part time or full time – locals could be heavily affected, Tim Burg, executive director of the Shawnee Economic Development Foundation, said.
"The economy in general gets affected because the base quits buying anything," Burg said. "It's just like personal finances."
He explained that this could have an effect in the private sector – outside of expected job loss and furloughs – when supply companies and private contractors were no longer needed on the base.
However, it's impossible to say what exactly will happen, Burg said.
"It all has a ripple effect," he said, but what that will mean for employees of Tinker and other Pottawatomie County residents, it's difficult to say.
"It's not like flipping a switch," he added.
Sen. James Inhofe (R-Oklahoma) said the sequestration could affect nearly 16,000 civilian employees at Tinker alone. Additionally Inhofe warned of decreased military readiness because of equipment being left in disrepair.
He explained that if the cuts take affect the military will not have money to order new parts, so instead they will leave their equipment unfixed.
"If we are unable to avert sequestration, then cuts will occur to military installations. I cannot stress enough how important it is for the Chiefs of the Services to fully explain the potential impact to our armed forces and their plans for implementing the reductions; only then will the public truly know how devastating the cuts to the defense budget would be," Inhofe said in a statement.
President Barack Obama is currently urging Congress to pass something to put off the sequestration, or call it off all together. However, no progress has yet been made.
Congress has until Friday, when the cuts kick in automatically. However, much like the January tax-hikes, it can be changed retroactively.

The Rabbit railroad or Rabbit Line was the nickname for the Athol to Springfield, Massachusetts, branch of the Boston & Albany railroad. The name is said to originate from the many stops and short runs between the numerous small towns along the line. Another claimed reason for the nick name is unscheduled stops to let rabbit hunters off. The line provided essential transportation for the small towns in the Quabbin region. For example, it took older school children to high school in Athol. When the Quabbin region was flooded, the branch, which had run through all four flooded towns, ceased operation and severed an important trade link for the Athol region

Cardstackers (™) 825 Card Building Set
Description: (November 2012)―Artist and Guinness World Record Holder for building the World's Tallest and Largest Houses of Freestanding Playing Cards—all with no tape, no folding, and no glue!—Bryan Berg announces his new toy for kids age 8 and up: The Cardstackers(™) boxed set is inspired by Berg's 15 years of teaching cardstacking to kids around the world, and his quest to make building an amazing house of cards possible and fun for all. "With Cardstackers(™), I wanted a way to offer more children and teens the awesome sense of creativity and accomplishment you get from doing something that seems impossible—in this case, making a real house of cards," said Berg. The Cardstackers(™) set is also great for teachers as a classroom math or science project.# # The Cardstackers(™) set includes 825 specially engineered playing cards, ideal for building freestanding houses of cards on a grand scale. And, each kit includes 16 of Berg's patent-pending Cardstarters(™), little devices that work like cardstacking "training wheels" to help kids learn and execute correct card placements for the strongest buildings. The Cardstarters(™) each hold four cards in the correct placement—just how Berg does it—to teach the best way to build a foundation for the first story and beyond. The best part is that Cardstarters(™) still allow kids to create a truly freestanding house of cards, so they can enjoy the ever-anticipated thrill of knocking it all down after a hard day's work.

Mayor's Office
Lincoln Public Schools (LPS) Superintendent Steve Joel and Mayor Chris Beutler today announced an agreement for LPS to lease office space in the City's Municipal Services Center to house workers displaced when a fire destroyed school district offices last week. About 100 LPS employees today began moving into the former Experian building at 949 West Bond in northwest Lincoln.
"This tragedy has demonstrated how interconnected our community really is," Joel said. "We are grateful for the support and generosity of the Mayor and the City of Lincoln."
"Lincoln strongly supports its children and their education," said Mayor Beutler. "It was only natural that the City of Lincoln would stand ready to help our kids and the people who teach them. We remain committed to LPS during this transition and will continue to be a good neighbor."
The City Council Monday approved the lease agreement for 41,000 square feet at $12.50 per square foot. The agreement is for 15 months and can be extended six months. The building will house LPS employees working in Curriculum and Instruction, Federal Programs, Athletics and Extracurricular Activities, Evaluation and Assessment and other areas. The space is furnished with desks and chairs, and LPS will move in computers, phones and other office equipment throughout the week.
The City bought the 355,000-square-foot Experian property last fall for $6.5 million to consolidate City operations and to save money on the future lease of space. Experian continues to lease a portion of the building for its employees. The Engineering Services Division of the Public Works and Utilities Department now occupies a temporary location in the building while its permanent offices are being renovated. The Division is delaying its move to the permanent space to make room for the LPS employees. Other City agencies that now lease space have not yet moved into the building so those portions of the building also are available.
Mayor Beutler said the Lincoln-Lancaster County Health Department (LLCHD) also is working with LPS to provide services. LLCHD and LPS share responsibility for infants and toddlers with disabilities and their families. The LLCHD offices at 33rd and "O" streets are being used as a location for LPS employees to meet with families, use office equipment and take care of other office functions.
