Bell Helicopter Standardizes on Mentor Graphics CHS to Cut Costs and Reduce Schedules for Helicopter Electrical System Design
Ryerson Schwark :
Bell Helicopter, a Textron Inc. company, has chosen to standardize on Mentor Graphics CHS™ flow for the design of helicopter electrical wiring systems. Bell will deploy CHS's powerful electrical system design, analysis, and integration software coupled with the CHS harness engineering and costing tools.
This front-to-back CHS flow provides Bell with significantly enhanced engineering productivity by automating time-consuming tasks and providing a means to virtually prototype the electrical architecture before it's built. CHS provides the ability to manage the intricacies of complex electrical information and represents the data in a form that promotes design reuse. Using CHS to bring electrical analysis earlier in the design process will allow Bell to validate that performance requirements and constraints are met early, thereby reducing the costs associated with test lab verification.
"Bell has over 50 years of flight innovation. As a premier aircraft development company, we are constantly improving our processes. Electrical design changes are a key source of engineering costs and are often in the development schedule critical path. CHS will enable our engineers to manage smart design data, to innovate faster with fewer obstacles. CHS is a key component to helping Bell Helicopter address corporate business objectives," stated Elaine Vaught, senior vice president engineering, Bell Helicopter.
Bell Helicopter's adoption of CHS harness engineering and costing tools means that manufacturing-oriented data can be readily shared throughout the design process, including to the harness suppliers. This not only encourages a design-for-manufacture outlook but also supports robust design change processes. The core strength of CHS is its ability to represent and manage the types of electrical design data and the associated complexity found in aerospace products. Its data-centric architecture, together with a comprehensive data model tuned to meet aerospace demands, manages the data in a form that allows management and reuse along the entire design process.
CHS allows the engineer to focus on design tasks by providing an "in-context" design environment. This allows the engineer to interact with the data in the context of a particular vehicle or configuration instead of incurring manual checking tasks to ensure complexity compliance. Throughout the design process CHS can share data with MCAD and PDM systems by using industry-standard protocols, thereby providing Bell Helicopter additional benefits across the enterprise.
"By adopting CHS, Bell Helicopter is taking a very strong position in the deployment of these modern technologies. The electrical system architecture is very complex in aircraft. By standardizing on CHS, Bell will achieve cost, reliability and time-to-market advantages in terms of part number control, design error reduction, and architectural optimization," said Martin O'Brien, general manager, Mentor's Integrated Electrical Systems Division.

Literally perfection!
Verified Buyer
I've had my Kivik chaise for 6 yrs and it was time for an upgrade. The cushions were still firm and comfortable but the ikea cover was pilling and rough. I ordered some FREE samples from Cover Couch and landed on the cover of my dreams! A lush plum velvet. I put the cover on last night and COULDN'T be happier!! It's perfect. The fit is like a glove and the material is high quality!! With 2 dogs, the velvet is so much easier to clean than the rough linen on the original cover. I am now ordering another velvet cover in beige for my matching kivik sectional. Can't wait!
Lovely colour and fabric.

Mumbai gang-rape: second witness questioned
The Mumbai crime branch on Tuesday recorded a witness's statement who was present with three of the accused before the crime and heard them receive the call from the fourth accused to reach Shakti Mill at Mahalaxmi on August 22. HT reports.mumbai Updated: Aug 28, 2013 08:42 IST
In an important development in the investigation of the gangrape of a 22-year-old photojournalist, the Mumbai crime branch on Tuesday recorded the statement of a witness who was present with three of the accused at a cards club before the crime and heard them receive the call from the fourth accused to reach Shakti Mill at Mahalaxmi on August 22.
Confirming the development, joint commissioner of police (Crime) Himanshu Roy said the crime branch had recorded his statement.
Sources said the witness was present at a card club in a shanty near Mahalaxmi where three of the accused -- Siraj Rehman Khan alias Sirju, Mohamed Kasim Hafiz Sheikh alias Bangali and Chand Abdul Sattar Shaikh -- were present nearly an hour before the gang rape.
"Mohamed Salim Ansari and Vijay Jadhav alias Janu called up Bangali asking them to reach the mill," the source said.
Meanwhile, senior police officials denied reports that Bangali was a police informer. Officials said he was once arrested by a police constable from Agripada in connection with three cases. The constable called up Bangali a few times after the rape incident and asked him to appear before the police, officials said.
The police are also now looking for a ragpicker who they believe passed the scene of crime at Shakti Mill compound while the photojournalist was being raped.
The ragpicker could become the prime witness in the case and help nail the accused, a senior officer said.
The police also got the five accused to undergo a potency test at JJ hospital on Monday. "The accused in a rape case try to use the argument that they are impotent and incapable of rape. We want to eliminate that defence ploy at the outset," the officer said.
Officials are confident that the evidence they will have against the accused through DNA tests and 'scene of crime rummaging' technique will help them prove the presence of the accused and the survivor at the scene of crime.
The police also expect that the mobile phones of two of the accused - Mohamed Kasim Hafiz Sheikh, alias Bangali, and Mohamed Salim Ansari - will prove their presence at the scene of crime and the sequence of events. While the police have seized Ansari's phones, they are yet to recover Shaikh's mobile phone, which he lost while gambling. "There is a Google mapping technology that will help us prove their movements," the officer said.
Ansari had taken a photo of the survivor, but later deleted it. "There is a technology by which deleted items can be retrieved. We will send the mobile phone to the forensic laboratory. Its result will be added to the chargesheet," the officer added.

I will only be working 2 days a week. It feels like it will take me the other 5 days a week to prepare for my couple of days at work. Another rejig. Another change in household routine. This time, it is me who is shaking things up.
My workplace offers reduced hours until my youngest kids go to school. So, for the next 3.5 years I can work part-time and then return to my full-time position. It is a pretty good deal (if I can last the distance in my current position).
To complete my transition from stay-at-home-Mum (SAHM) to working-Mum (WM), I have had to do the following:
- Make-over - I have cut-off the Mummy pony tail and got myself a 'do'. It feels fabulous!
- Shopping spree - I spoke of this before, but I have completed my spend and now have a new WM wardrobe. I look pretty hot, even if I do say so myself! {And the best bit is that my new knee-high boots make that fabulous clunking noise on the wooden floorboards when I walk. I feel like a school principal}
- Arrange daycare for the kids - no mean feat
- Organise the house - so that getting out of the house is possible
- Rearrange the household routine
- Wean the babies off the morning feeds
- Practise getting out of bed earlier
- Learn to shower at night
- Get a train timetable
Wish me luck!

We are a family operated food manufacturing company. We started more than 20years ago making only Authentic Malaysian Curry Puffs and now have an range of 12 different products as well as a Party Food Retail/ Catering outlet. We are now making Creamy, Oven ready Risotto Balls for the Food Industry as we have found them to be extremely popular at or retail outlet and are now starting to supply them to other stores and food distributors. We come from a bacground of half Italian and half Malaysian so all our recipes are passed down from previous generations. We are trying to establish our brand to be recognised for taste and quality but also not overprised. We have spent huge amounts of time and money to ensure that our risotto balls are of a superior standard to that of our competitors. Our machinery ensures that individual rice grains are not destroyed during manufacturing, we use traditional Aborio Rice to ensure a cramy texture and they're packed with flavour.
I want the brochure to be multipurpose. It wll be sent to hundreds of food distributors and wholesalers as well as being available for pick up by shoppers at individual party food stores. I also want the front of the A4 page to be pretty enough to be used as a roll up banner that i can place at certain outlets.
When sending it to food distributors and wholesalers, like us all, they are often very busy and can discard unneccesary paper quickly so it needs to say most of the improtant things in one quick look at it
We have 3 types of risotto balls; Pumpkin Feta & Thyme, Tomato & Basil and Cheese & Bacon and we want all three to be shown on the front page. We have four different photos that can be used for the brochure.
Risotto Balls are quite popular so i want the words Risotto Balls to be Large and used as the heading in some way.
We want to dress it up and make design elegant. Feel free to experiment with fonts and colours.
Our logo is blue and need to be on the brochure somewhere however if it doesn't suit the colours or design on the front page then on the back is fine.
The rear of the brochure is more informative. All the required info is supplied.
The files we will require are:
Print file format - .ai (CMYK)
Web file format - .jpg and layered .psd (RGB)
Feel free to use clip art or general pics if you feel they can inhance the document.

A Department of Justice presentation obtained by the Electronic Frontier Foundation shows that law enforcement officials, from local agencies to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, have been logging on under assumed identities to social networks like Facebook in order to gather information about suspects.
Cops use the services to get past privacy controls that keep information among friends online in order to gather evidence of location, criminal enterprises, social associations and to prove or disprove alibis.
However, the presentation does admit that using false identities is often a violation of the terms of service on popular social networks, including Twitter and Facebook.
For instance, the Justice Department prosecuted a Missouri woman, Lori Drew, for violating MySpace's terms of service after Drew created a fake myspace account to bully a young woman who eventually committed suicide.
The presentation also reveals that while Twitter demands authorities go through legal hoops to obtain private communications by the site's users, Facebook -- which says it takes privacy very seriously -- "often cooperative with emergency requests."
Requests by the EFF for documents about written policies for using social networks in investigations didn't turn any up, suggesting that agencies like the FBI are just making it up as they go along.
Jackson West figured Facebook happily turns over data to the feds upon request.

Degnegaard, Rex (Frederiksberg, 2012)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Co-‐creation as a concept has won terrain over the past 10 years (Bhalla, 2010; Ramaswamy and Goulliart, 2010; Ramaswamy, 2011). In practice as well as in literature, co-‐creation is climbing the agenda in relation to contemporary opportunities and challenges within management, organization design, and change initiatives. Thus, there has been a vast growth in application and conceptual development of the concept of co-‐creation. However, there is very little research-‐based literature on how the field of co-‐creation has developed, and of how the concept is being established, and on the future frontiers of the concept of co-‐creation. This paper aims to build an overview of the literature on co-‐creation to explore what the existing literature relate to and indeed to pinpoint if any patterns or streams can be identified. The paper illustrates how the use of the concept of co-‐creation suggests a necessity for focusing further on specific co-‐creation related issues and challenges of significance to business and society. Thus, the paper highlights new co-‐creation related issues, challenges, and frontiers in practice and research rather than giving answers or solutions to existing problems.

Change management challenges in the Danish police reformDegnegaard, Rex (Frederiksberg, 2010)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Since its commencement in January 2007, the Danish police reform has been a hot topic in the media, at universities, dinner parties, and in waiting rooms. The general perception of the police reform is that it is a failure. During 2008, the reform has been subject to much public debate, which has linked many unfortunate cases of police neglect with the police reform. Furthermore, the public debate has created a picture of a police not in control and with the reform to blame. Given this troublesome context of the police reform, the question which everyone is asking is: why did it go wrong? Along with the question of: whose fault was it? The current thesis does not provide one single answer to the chaotic situation surrounding the police reform. Neither does it place the responsibility of the unforeseen consequences of the police reform. Rather, this thesis focuses on unforeseen consequences of the reform in regards to change management and organizational implications. This thesis is submitted as a doctoral thesis at Copenhagen Business School in completion of a three-year Ph.D. study. The thesis is the result of a longitudinal research study on change management challenges in the Danish police reform. The study rests on a multi-sited methodology compromising an array of research methods such as interviews, field studies, presentations, meetings, written document studies, etc. over the course of the three years' duration of the study. The study draws from different strands of literature, primarily change management literature and institutional literature, including resource dependency theory. The research question, which guides the thesis, is as follows: What are the change management challenges and the organizational implications of introducing a reform, which has a functional-rational logic of modernization and efficiency to the Danish police, which is a strongly institutionalized organization? The research question has been answered through the analysis, which is divided into three sections: - Change management in the reform, - Content of the police reform, and - The external control of the police.

The Lions have been looking for consistent receiving threats to match with Calvin Johnson for a while now, but Mike Thomas won't be the answer to their search.
Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports that Detroit released the veteran wideout. The Lions acquired Thomas in a trade with the Jaguars before the trade deadline last year and he had five catches for 28 yards in nine games with the team.
The decision to cut bait on Thomas doesn't come as much of a surprise. Reports out of Detroit had Thomas struggling badly early in camp, which started the slide toward Monday's news.
Thomas was a relatively productive slot target for the Jaguars in 2010, when he caught 66 passes for 820 yards and four touchdowns, but that year looks like an outlier next to his middling production in his other four years as a professional. He's just 26, so there may be another shot with another team but Thomas will have to rediscover that old level of productivity to significantly increase his time in the NFL.

Distance Elementary Education Partnership Programs
BEST: Butler/Emporia Students to Teachers
Welcome to the BEST Butler/Emporia Students to Teachers website!
We are proud to provide this opportunity for students to earn their Elementary Education degree at a location near you. Please explore our website at your convenience. If you have any questions or want more information, we invite you to contact Todd Roberts at 316-322-3375 or email@example.com.
ESU provides an Elementary Education program in the Wichita Area!
In the fall of 2004, ESU made this nationally acclaimed elementary education program in the Wichita area through Butler Community College, called the "BEST" (Butler/Emporia Students to Teachers) program. Students who enroll in this program will complete a two year Associates of Arts Degree from Butler and continue on to get a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education degree from Emporia State University.
Course offerings, degree completion, licensure and other requirements for students in the 2+2 program at Butler are the same as required of all ESU students. Limited seating is available. Elementary Education Cohort applications are accepted for fall entry in Andover. The priority deadlines for application are September 15th for the spring semester and February 15th for the fall semester. Degrees in Secondary Education and degrees in other education fields such as Special Education or Early Childhood are only available on the Emporia campus.
This program is designed for people with a busy lifestyle!
The classes are completed by 3:00 PM and earlier for the daytime cohort, or you can take evening classes which will start at 4:00 PM and later for the first year. This allows the student to plan around daytime family and work schedules. During the final year, students will need to be available during the entire school day for the PDS placement.
New students where students follow a set course plan. A few part-time students will be accepted, although most seating will be reserved for full-time enrollment. New students must apply to ESU as a Distance Transfer student (click here to apply) and to the Cohort Program (click here to apply). Seating is limited. Students are encouraged to complete the application processes prior to Sept. 15th for the spring semester, and by Feb. 15th for the fall semester.
Why students are choosing the award-winning BEST program

The Student Teaching Year:
Students are assigned to a Professional Development School (PDS) for two semesters of student teaching and are given the opportunity to work in school settings where university and public school faculty work together. The PDS model is a collaborative, field-based clinical school experience. A major factor in the success of the Emporia State PDS program has been relationship between the highly trained and committed mentor teachers and the student teachers. ESU has such partnerships with the Augusta, Circle, El Dorado, and Wichita.
Degree Recommendation and Kansas Licensure:
Upon successful completion of all Elementary Education degree requirements, the Principles of Learning and Teaching (PLT) Test, and all required content area tests, students will be recommended for licensure by the Kansas Department of Education as teachers of grades K-6. Licensure will be conditional and a performance assessment must be completed to obtain a professional license.
Admission Information
Admission to ESU:
Students must be admitted to Emporia State University to qualify for admission to the Elementary Education Cohort Program. Students may apply for ESU admission by contacting the Admissions Office at 1-877-468-6378, or by visiting the website at http://www.emporia.edu/admissions/.
Paper copies of application forms are available upon request. Along with the application for admission, students must send an application and registration fee of $30. Transfer students will also need to include official transcripts. Once a student has been admitted to ESU, they will receive an acceptance letter, and may then enroll in classes. Transfer students will also receive an official transcript analysis form that will tell them which general education classes have been accepted and applied toward their ESU Elementary Education program.
Cohort Admission: Cohort Application Form
Financial Aid:
Financial Aid is available from both Butler for the General Education portion of the program and from ESU for the Elementary Education portion of the program. Students who are taking classes from both Butler and ESU at the same time may qualify for joint financial aid. Students need to contact both financial aid offices to find out more information.
Transfer Information
Transfer agreements:
Butler Community College and ESU have a long-standing articulation agreement that specifies which Butler courses will transfer as general education requirements to the ESU program. The transfer agreement/course equivalency list is available at the following website: http://www.emporia.edu/regist/com/ Questions about the General Education classes or about an Associates Degree from Butler need to be directed to the Butler counselors.
Dual enrollment:
Under the lock-step Cohort Program, dual enrollment is not encouraged. Students should try to complete Butler classes (or at least within 6 hours) before entering the ESU program. If a student has a couple of classes left when entering the ESU program, the student may apply for financial aid to be split between the two schools. ESU and Butler work cooperatively to assist the student when this situation occurs.
Second Degree and Transfer Students:
When space is available, students may transfer into the program from another university or community college. If transfer students still need to take a few general education classes, they may do so at Butler.

Maine student's iPhone catches fire in back pocket; student not seriously hurt
KENNEBUNK, Maine (AP) � School officials in Maine say a student's smart phone caught fire in her pants pocket, causing minor burns.
The episode unfolded Friday morning at the Middle School of the Kennebunks, where the eighth-grader was getting ready for her first class when her iPhone started smoking.
The York County Coast Star (http://bit.ly/1eDV1JC) says Principal Jeff Rodman notified parents that the student was assisted by students and staff, treated by an emergency crew, and transported to Southern Maine Health Care Center. She later returned to class.
Officials believe the phone shorted out when she sat down with it in her back pocket.

Politics & Government
Dan Walters: California once again in vortex of culture war
So once again, California voters will find themselves at the vortex of the culture war.
Just as the state was ground zero for the years-long struggle over same-sex marriage, it now will be the battlefield as many of the same warriors clash over the legal rights of transgender students.
The issue is a new state law that would allow public school students the right to self-designate their gender orientation, regardless of their inborn biological attributes, and be treated accordingly in gender-defined activities.
Opponents, many of them veterans of the same-sex marriage battle, say they have gathered enough signatures to challenge the law via a referendum ballot measure next year.
Frank Schubert, who managed the successful anti-gay-marriage ballot measure drive in California, only to see it overturned in the federal courts, is the primary organizer of the referendum.
Opponents raise the specter of mixed-gender locker rooms and restrooms and allowing biological males to compete in girls' sports, or vice versa.
Their rivals, many of them also veterans of marriage wars, see the legislation as a landmark victory for equal rights and protecting transgender students from harassment.
Leading opposition to the referendum is Equality California, which was deeply involved in the gay marriage battle and sponsored the new law on transgender student rights, Assembly Bill 1266, carried by Assemblyman Tom Ammiano, D-San Francisco.
Ironically, the announcement that more than 600,000 signatures had been gathered for a referendum occurred just days after 18-year-old Luke Fleischman, who was born male but identifies himself as gender-neutral, had his skirt set afire as he was sleeping on an Oakland bus and suffered severe burns.
A 16-year-old, Richard Thomas, was charged with several felonies for the attack after telling police that he committed the attack "because he was homophobic," according to the criminal complaint.
The fears of the new law's opponents about gender-mixing in the schools and the savage attack on Fleischman form the parameters of the forthcoming battle.
Predicting the outcome is difficult because it involves emotion, deeply held cultural values on both sides and ever-evolving public attitudes about gender.
By the time the gay marriage ban was overturned, the state's voters had themselves evolved from opposition to acceptance. And although it remains offensive to many, there's no evidence that allowing same-sex marriages has had the horrendous effects its opponents predicted.
While opponents of the new transgender law are convinced that it, too, would cause great societal harm, perhaps it will merely allow a relative handful of youngsters like Luke Fleischman to live their lives without fear.

TYO in the Big Apple
TYO's efforts and resources are concentrated very largely on our grassroots, on-ground programming. However, we also recognize the importance of participating in select international activities in order to share our experience, learn about others' and garner support and knowledge to increase our impact. Earlier this month, TYO Founder Hani Masri took part in the planning retreat for the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) 2011 Annual Meeting. He was glad to see the continued emphasis on quality programming to support Girls and Women. That said, Mr. Masri challenged participants and CGI organizers to advance this important discussion further at the fall event by engaging more varied speakers such as accomplished youth activists, leaders of innovative if small organizations, and a more geographically diverse representatives. TYO looks forward to seeing continued evolution in the CGI agenda and approach in 2011.
On February 28, the UN's Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) organized a special event in cooperation with the Committee Encouraging Corporate Philanthropy in honor of the international day for Corporate Philanthropy. TYO Director Nell Derick Debevoise took part in the afternoon's discussions including a broad range of corporate, NGO and UN representatives. The event was a pleasant surprise, with several speakers who made quite concrete, pro-active and unique contributions, such as Jeffrey Sachs from Columbia's Earth Institute and Carlos Dominguez of Cisco.
The topic was the role of corporate philanthropy in education, specifically toward the Millennium Development Goal of achieving primary education for all and improved professional training by 2015. Participants discussed a variety of contemporary challenges, such as demographic issues creating mushrooming need for capacity, the importance of teaching soft skills like creativity and interpersonal intelligence and the massive obstacles to education presented by natural disaster and conflict. Happily, several inspiring solutions and innovations were also mentioned, such as Cisco's IT training programs, Nokia's three-pronged approach including research, capacity building and innovation and Education for Employment Foundation's teaching-to-the-job model. TYO was honored to contribute its efforts in both early childhood education and practical experience to facilitate the school-to-work transition. A major priority for TYO in 2011 is to engage more with corporate sponsors to scale up these ongoing programs, so it was inspiring to hear from these active corporate citizens.
Read live coverage from the event on TYO's Twitter feed and others by searching the hashtag #MDG2.

When in doubt, harass women.
Shahira Amin has an article at Index on Censorship about the harassment of women in Tahrir Square.
Egyptian Salafi preacher Ahmed Mahmoud Abdulla — known as Abou Islam — recently made remarks justifying sexual violence against female protesters in Cairo's Tahrir Square, claiming that women who join protests are asking "to get raped"…
In a video posted online last Wednesday, Abdulla said that women who join the protests are "either crusaders who have no shame or widows who have no one to control them". He also described them as "devils", and added that "they talk like monsters".
Yes that's right, just throw everything. It all sticks, so it's all good to throw.
It's interesting how familiar and domestic the preacher sounds though. A mere two years ago I wouldn't have had that thought, but now it jumps off the page at me. The Salafi preacher sounds exactly like our more local harassers.
BBC World had a distressing – not surprising, but distressing – report on harassment of women in Tahrir Square yesterday, by Aleem Maqbool. He talks to some boys/young men in the square, who are frankly there to leer at and assault women, and who think rape is a joke.
Back to Shahira Amin.
While the increased violence against women has been cause for growing concern, the long-awaited new legislation, the increased willingness of women to speak out and the growing number of NGOs fighting harassment (either by spreading awareness about it, encouraging women to speak out or protecting women during protests) are all encouraging signs of positive change to come. Rights activists welcome the change but insist that more needs to be done to end gender-based discrimination.
"Changing the attitudes of men and women can only take place through education and awareness campaigns, " said activist Azza Kamel of Fouada Watch, an NGO that has established a round-the-clock hot line for victims to report incidents of sexual harassment, verbal abuse or assaults against women. Kamel also advocates training of the police, traditionally known to take harassment reports lightly . "But above all"she said, there must be zero tolerance for those who incite violence against women (referring to the recent comments by Salafi preacher Abou Islam.)
"Such extremists must be silenced. Incitement is as big a crime as the assault itself", Kamel added.
Don't get your hopes up.

Spark your creativity with these designs.
Kevin Durant always looks relaxed—until he attacks. His game is reserved yet explosive, difficult to guard and impossible to stop. The KD12 was built for his dominance and endless energy all game long with the latest innovation in Nike Air Zoom. Take your game to the next level with a customised Nike Zoom KD12 By You. Customise your look with signature colours, a personalised logo and your favourite traction so you can stand out on the court.
Represent your team in your signature colours. Cover every part of your shoe in one colour for a monochrome vibe or mix and match for a one-of-a-kind look.
Accent your design with custom hues for KD's logo and number on the tongue; then add your name or an inspirational message on the heel back tab. Finish it off with your number on the outsole (up to 2 numeric characters, only on the translucent option).
Pick your traction, with options like solid rubber, XDR, translucent, gum or even glow in the dark. The solid rubber option provides exceptional grip on indoor courts, while the XDR stands up to the tarmac.
Four-way directional Flywire cables provide targeted stability and on-the-fly lockdown. They relax when you're not in motion, but when you need them to perform, they deliver.
Lightweight, multi-layer mesh upper provides less stiffness and a broken-in feel.
Perforated midsole helps keep the foam flexible while reducing overall weight and making the cushioning within visible.
- Sockliner insert sits over the Nike Air Zoom cushioning, adding a thin layer to enhance comfort without compromising the performance.
- Flyknit-constructed tongue adds loft for a plush, padded feel.
- Padding around the 3/4-high collar hugs your ankle to comfortably lock you in.
- Durable rubber outsole options offer great traction.

cnewell05 necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 39 diseños de 14 diseñadores freelance.
Lashes by Christine is an eyelash extenstion service and is usually promoted to upscale clientele. Need a logo that is professional (but not boring), must be memorable and eye-catching. Will be included on business cards, product stickers and web site. Want it to have some design, but not too "cutesy" or "trite"
Company name is "Lashes by Christine" ****CAN INCLUDE THE TAGLINE: "Extending your beauty" BUT YOU DON'T HAVE TO. Would like to see some with and without the tagline.
FORMAT - Needs to be in vector format like that produced by Adobe Photoshop or Adobe Illustrator. if you include color, I need a black/white version and reverse (white on black) as well.
You can go to http://lashesbychristine.snappages.com to see draft of current web site
UPDATE 3/21 - maybe instead of trying to sumbolize lashes in the design, perhaps a simple butterfly if you decide to use a graphic. Lashes are just looking too "Cutesy" and predictable and aren't working out in any of the designs. See my website to see butterfly idea.
Lashes by Christine (optional tag line - Extending your Beauty)
Eyelash extensions are typically sold to upscale clientele, models and everyday women. Eyelash extensions are perfect for day to day wear as well as special occasions for vibrant, long and luscious lashes. Lashes are semi-permanent synthetic lashes that can for a long time with on going touchups. The lashes are single strands of synthetic eyelashes that are curved to replicate a natural eyelash. They provide length and thickness to your own lashes. They are applied to individual eyelashes, one lash at a time, for an elegant, natural and luscious look. There is no need for mascara or an eyelash curler. Thicker, longer beautiful eyelashes that are safe in the shower, while swimming, sleeping or exercising.

Fracking, a process in which fluid is pumped into oil and gas wells to increase their productivity, remains mysterious and controversial.
It involves a lot of weird, arcane equipment.
You can't see it happening (since it occurs underground).
And it has developed an air of danger around it. There is evidence it has contaminated water; that spent frack fluid injected into the ground causes earthquakes, and that spilled wastewater has neutered farm animals, though the industry vigorously disputes this. If you've been affected by it, you're sometimes not allowed to talk about it.
At the same time, the increased use of fracking has massively increased U.S. energy production. Oil imports are plummeting. The shale boom has boosted employment. It's reducing energy costs. And many people are convinced the U.S. will soon become energy independent.
We've also argued it helped President Obama get reelected.
And some say it's actually helping the environment by reducing emissions.
Houston-based Cabot Oil and Gas recently agreed to give us a tour of their main outpost in Northeast Pennsylvania, in a sweet spot of the gas-rich Marcellus Shale formation, to see fracking up close.

I don't stalk the wedding world like I used to. I suppose I should feel some sense of abandonment. Have I let myself down or just run out of material? Or, is this like so many other things I do – try, total emersion, obsession, and then, um….what's next?
But something I haven't stopped doing is working on bridal goodies. It's slow going at times, because the J.O.B. gets in the way, but I've been making room for it lately.
Wanna see?
I'm not even sure what this is going to be, but it's going to be awesome. I mean, I kind of know what it's going to be. Think floral crown. Think hand-sewn everything.
Then there's this. I've been sitting on this applique for years. I have a lot of beautiful pieces that take a while to become things. This is one of those pieces – and holy shit it's going to be amazeballs. Can I still say amazeballs? It's going to go with this:
It doesn't look like much, but it's silk tulle. I got a bunch of it and it's going to be a holy-gorgeousness-drapey-fabulosity.
I recently finished a few things too:
Vintage lace trim on a dotted Swiss mesh – WHAT? It totally happened.
Vintage crocheted gloves with hand-crocheted flowers (thanks to T30SB's crocheting-fool mamma) and vintage pearl beads. They are totally awesome.
I heard on the radio that to be creative, you have to practice. The radio host said that practice doesn't have to be a big chunk of time. It could be 15 minutes, but it has to be every day. I'm not as obsessed with that rule as I was with Bikram yoga, but I'm working on it.

This year is likely to be the worst for the global economy since the second world war, with the World Bank estimating a decline of up to 2%. Even developing countries that did everything right – and had far better macroeconomic and regulatory policies than the United States did – are feeling the impact. Largely as a result of a precipitous fall in exports, China is likely to continue to grow, but at a much slower pace than the 11-12% annual growth of recent years. Unless something is done, the crisis will throw as many as 200 million additional people into poverty.
This global crisis requires a global response, but, unfortunately, responsibility for responding remains at the national level. Each country will try to design its stimulus package to maximise the impact on its own citizens – not the global impact. In assessing the size of the stimulus, countries will balance the cost to their own budgets with the benefits in terms of increased growth and employment for their own economies. Since some of the benefit (much of it in the case of small, open economies) will accrue to others, stimulus packages are likely to be smaller and more poorly designed than they otherwise would be, which is why a globally coordinated stimulus package is needed.
This is one of several important messages to emerge from a United Nations Experts Commission on the global economic crisis, which I chair – and which recently submitted its preliminary report to the UN.
The report supports many of the G20 initiatives, but it urges stronger measures focused on developing countries. For instance, while it is recognised that almost all countries need to undertake stimulus measures (we're all Keynesians now), many developing countries do not have the resources to do so. Nor do existing international lending institutions.
But if we are to avoid winding up in another debt crisis, some, perhaps much, of the money will have to be given in grants. And, in the past, assistance has been accompanied by extensive "conditions," some of which enforced contractionary monetary and fiscal policies – just the opposite of what is needed now – and imposed financial deregulation, which was among the root causes of the crisis.
In many parts of the world, there is a strong stigma associated with going to the International Monetary Fund, for obvious reasons. And there is dissatisfaction not just from borrowers, but also from potential suppliers of funds. The sources of liquid funds today are in Asia and the Middle East, but why should these countries contribute money to organisations in which their voice is limited and which have often pushed policies that are antithetical to their values and beliefs?
Many of the governance reforms proposed for the IMF and the World Bank – affecting, most obviously, how their heads are chosen – finally seem to be on the table. But the reform process is slow, and the crisis will not wait. It is thus imperative that assistance be provided through a variety of channels, in addition to, or instead of, the IMF, including regional institutions. New lending facilities could be created, with governance structures more consonant with the 21st century. If this could be done quickly (which I think it could), such facilities could be an important channel for disbursing funds.
At their November 2008 summit the G20 leaders strongly condemned protectionism and committed themselves not to engage in it. Unfortunately, a World Bank study notes that 17 of the 20 countries have actually undertaken new protectionist measures, most notably the US with the "buy American" provision included in its stimulus package.
But it has long been recognised that subsidies can be just as destructive as tariffs – and even less fair, since rich countries can better afford them. If there was ever a level playing field in the global economy, it no longer exists: the massive subsidies and bailouts provided by the US have changed everything, perhaps irreversibly.
Indeed, even firms in advanced industrial countries that have not received a subsidy are at an unfair advantage. They can undertake risks that others cannot, knowing that if they fail, they may be bailed out. While one can understand the domestic political imperatives that have led to subsidies and guarantees, developed countries need to recognise the global consequences, and provide compensatory assistance to developing countries.
One of the more important medium-term initiatives urged by the UN commission is the creation of a global economic coordinating council, which would not only coordinate economic policy, but would also assess impending problems and institutional gaps. As the downturn deepens, several countries may, for example, face bankruptcy. But we still do not have an adequate framework for dealing with such problems.
And the US dollar reserve-currency system – the backbone of the current global financial system – is fraying. China has expressed concerns, and the head of its central bank has joined the UN commission in calling for a new global reserve system. The UN commission argues that addressing this old issue – raised more than 75 years ago by Keynes – is essential if we are to have a robust and stable recovery.
Such reforms will not occur overnight. But they will not occur ever unless work on them is begun now.

Robinson: We need a debate about NSA surveillance
WASHINGTON - The important thing right now isn't whether Edward Snowden should be labeled hero or villain. First, let's have the debate he sparked over surveillance and privacy. Then we can decide how history should remember him.
Snowden is the 29-year-old intelligence analyst and computer geek who has been leaking some of the National Security Agency's most precious secrets to journalists from The Washington Post and the Guardian. He is now on the lam, having checked out of the Hong Kong hotel where he was holed up for several weeks as he orchestrated a worldwide media splash that shows no sign of ending.
Snowden betrayed his employer, the consulting firm Booz Allen Hamilton, and his promise not to divulge classified information. He paints what he did as an act of civil disobedience, but he has decided to seek political asylum abroad rather than surrender to authorities and accept the consequences. In published interviews, he comes across as grandiose to the point of self-parody, a legend in his own mind.
He is an imperfect messenger, to say the least. But his message should not be ignored.
Did you know that the NSA is compiling and storing a massive, comprehensive log of our domestic phone calls? I didn't. Nor did I know that the agency sucks in huge volumes of email traffic and other electronic data overseas -- not just communications originating in trouble spots such as Pakistan but also in countries such as Germany and Britain. I would have thought that anyone who accused the U.S. government of "omniscient, automatic, mass surveillance," as Snowden did in an exchange with Post contributor Barton Gellman, was being paranoid. Now I'm not so sure.
As President Obama noted, nobody is eavesdropping on the phone calls of U.S. citizens and residents. I'm not certain this could be said about email communications in other countries, some of which take privacy as seriously as we do. British Foreign Secretary William Hague felt obliged Monday to reassure Parliament that "our intelligence-sharing work with the United States is subject to ministerial and independent oversight" and to legislative scrutiny.
But we have oversight of intelligence operations in this country, too. The problem is that the system works more or less like a rubber stamp.
The secret Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court has to issue the orders that allow the NSA to collect "metadata" from telephone providers. But as far as I can tell -- we are not allowed to know the content of the court's rulings, and have to make do with crumbs of, well, metadata -- the court's standard answer is yes.
In its 34 years of existence, the court has approved more than 30,000 government requests for surveillance authority while rejecting a grand total of 11. That is not what I'd call oversight.
The NSA's snooping is also subject to scrutiny by the intelligence committees of the Senate and the House of Representatives. The chairmen of those panels -- Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., and Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Mich. -- have been among the NSA's most vocal supporters in recent days. But since so much of the committees' work is classified, they say they can't tell us why.
And as for Obama, he said last week that "I welcome this debate and I think it's healthy for our democracy." Why, then, didn't he launch the discussion rather than wait for Snowden's leaks?
In the coming debate, someone should explain why a mid-level computer guy working for a private contractor had access to so many of the NSA's most closely held secrets. Someone should explain why the intelligence court is evidently so compliant. Someone should explain -- perhaps in French, German and Spanish -- why our allies' emails are fair game for the agency's prying eyes.
But here's the big issue: The NSA, it now seems clear, is assembling an unimaginably vast trove of communications data, and the bigger it gets, the more useful it is in enabling analysts to make predictions. It's one thing if the NSA looks for patterns in the data that suggest a nascent overseas terrorist group or an imminent attack. It's another thing altogether if the agency observes, say, patterns that suggest the birth of the next tea party or Occupy Wall Street movement.
Is that paranoia? Then reassure me. Let's talk about the big picture and decide, as citizens, whether we are comfortable with the direction our intelligence agencies are heading. And let's remember that it was Snowden, not our elected officials, who opened this vital conversation.

The Woman In Charge Of Romney's VP Search Tweets A Short List, Or Two
Beth Myers is a tease.
The woman running Mitt Romney's search for a running mate — a.k.a. @BethMyers2012 — apparently decided to blow off some steam Friday afternoon with a couple of "Follow Friday" shout-outs on Twitter.
#FF @KellyAyotte @timpawlenty @GovChristie @BobbyJindal @marcorubio @RepPaulRyan @NewtGingrich— Beth Myers (@BethMyers2012) July 27, 2012
Myers started with the rumored members of Romney's vice presidential short list: New Hampshire Sen. Kelly Ayotte, former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, Wisconsin Congressman Paul Ryan and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich.
But wait. Where's the man at the top of many lists? Where is Ohio Sen. Rob Portman?
#FF @robportman @bobmcdonnell @CondoleezzaRice @johnthune @Gov_Martinez @RickSantorum— Beth Myers (@BethMyers2012) July 27, 2012
Oh, there he is, in a second tweet, along with Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell, former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, South Dakota Sen. John Thune, New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez and former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum.
But unfortunately for Herman Cain, Ron Paul, Jeb Bush and others, there was no third tweet.
What added to the shock for many Twitter faithful in the political world is that before Friday, Myers had sent out just a single tweet. That was when she joined Twitter on April 16, the same day she was tapped to lead Romney's VP effort.
Myers' Twitter silence partly speaks to how tight-lipped she's been about the process. Even her own family hasn't been able to pry anything out of her.
Of course, Romney left on an overseas trip this week without revealing his pick. That likely leaves the political world — and the Twitter-verse — in suspense for a few more weeks. There's little expectation that Romney will make the big announcement until after the Olympics end on Aug. 12.
Romney was taking in the opening ceremony in London as the tweets went out, revealing what must have been a vexing week of vetting for his staff back in Boston.

Joan Fontaine may have been overshadowed at times by her older sister, Olivia de Havilland, but the actress -- who died Sunday at age 96 -- appeared in several classic films during the Golden Age of Hollywood and is the only performer to win an Oscar in a film directed by Alfred Hitchcock.
It's hard to pick a Fontaine top five because she made several interesting films, including 1942's "This Above All" with Tyrone Power, 1944's "Jane Eyre" with Orson Welles, 1953's "Ivanhoe" with Robert Taylor and Elizabeth Taylor, and the Ida Lupino-directed 1953 noir "The Bigamist."
But here are five must-sees in the Fontaine canon, all of which are available on DVD.
"Rebecca" (1940): Fontaine had been appearing in movies since 1935, including the 1937 Fred Astaire musical "A Damsel in Distress" and the rousing 1939 adventure "Gunga Din," when she came into her own in this stylish adaptation of Daphne Du Maurier's bestseller that marked Hitchcock's first American feature. Fontaine earned an Oscar nomination for her nuanced performance as the self-conscious, plain young woman who falls in love and marries an older widower (Laurence Olivier) who brings her home to his Cornwall mansion. The home, however, is permeated with the memories of his beautiful late wife, Rebecca, and she finds herself at odds with the creepy housekeeper, Mrs. Danvers (Judith Anderson), who is obsessed with Rebecca. The film went on to win the best picture Oscar.
"Suspicion" (1941): Fontaine reunited with Hitchcock for this romantic murder mystery in which she plays another plain Jane who falls in love with a handsome, dashing wastrel (Cary Grant) whom she soon comes to believes is trying to murder her for her money. Fontaine won the lead actress Oscar, beating out her sister, De Havilland, who was nominated for "Hold Back the Dawn." Their feud, fueled by the Oscar battle, became the stuff of legend.
"The Constant Nymph" (1943): Fontaine received her third and final Oscar nomination for her delicate performance in this romantic melodrama based on Margaret Kennedy's novel and play. Though in her mid-20s at the time, Fontaine is believable as a 14-year-old girl with a weak heart who falls madly in love with a family friend, a struggling composer (Charles Boyer). He ends up marrying her haughty cousin (Alexis Smith), who becomes jealous of the special bond he has with Fontaine's character.
"Letter From an Unknown Woman" (1948): Fontaine is haunting in Max Ophül's exquisite drama playing another complex woman. This time around, she harbors an undying love for a handsome but decadent pianist (Louis Jourdan) who, when they encounter each other over the years, never seems to remember her. Her realization that, even after they have a child together, he never ever loved her is heartbreaking. It could be among her finest moments on film. "Letter" is an 86-minute gem.
"Born to Be Bad" (1950): The actress gets the opportunity to show her darker side in this Nicholas Ray melodrama, in which she plays a manipulative woman who will stop at nothing to get what she wants. It is a real change of pace for Fontaine, and she seems to have a field day playing the femme fatale in this juicy, albeit over-the-top drama. Robert Ryan, Zachary Scott, Joan Leslie and Mel Ferrer also star.

- Super-middleweight
Bute could fight on Froch-Kessler undercard
Lucian Bute's displacement by Carl Froch at the top table of the super-middleweight division will hit home again if he is placed on the undercard of the Briton's rematch with Mikkel Kessler.
Froch's promoter Eddie Hearn has said the Romanian Bute could fight for the vacant WBC strap on the same card as his boxer's attempt to avenge a 2010 loss to Dane Kessler.
As Froch fought his way back from that defeat he encountered Bute in May last year and robbed the 32-year-old of his IBF belt and his undefeated tag.
But the manner of Froch's fifth-round stoppage was more damaging than the black mark on Bute's slate because he was comprehensively out-boxed.
Bute won his next fight against Denis Grachev but the promotion noise surrounding his name has died away. And he could get to witness first-hand the draw that Froch's name now brings to a boxing ring if he fights before the Froch-Kessler bout.
"We have been in constant communication with Interbox since the first Froch v Bute fight, which was a big commercial success," Hearn said.
"Lucian looks set to fight for the WBC title next and we would all like to make that happen on the same night as Froch v Kessler II, in Canada, Romania or even in the UK on the same card."
Bute has said he is keen on a rematch with Froch and, should both men win their next fights, they could be back in the ring together later in 2013.
