Acer is reportedly prepping a new 7-inch tablet which could retail for as little as $99.
While rumors of such a tablet first surfaced a couple of weeks back, the Wall Street Journal has increased speculation after claiming to have spoken to "a person with direct knowledge of the project".
Called the Iconia B1, the device is thought to have similar specs to the same-sized Kindle Fire and Nexus 7 tablets. Features of the expected Android-powered device are said to include a 1024 x 600 display, a 1.2GHz dual-core processor, 512MB RAM and a 1.3-megapixel camera.
However, before you start rubbing your hands in anticipation of bagging an attractively priced tablet, we need to tell you something. The B1 is expected to be aimed at emerging markets.
"While the device has been submitted to the US Federal Communications Commission for clearance, it's uncertain whether it will actually be sold stateside," the WSJ says in its report.
The source said the Taiwan-based computer manufacturer had made a number of "project roadmap changes in response to changes in the tablet market," adding, that Google's Asus-made Nexus 10 tablet had "changed the outlook for what makes competitive pricing."
If the B1 was to find its way into US stores, it would undercut its competitors by a fair few bucks, and could prove a tempting proposition for anyone on the hunt for a cheap second tablet or low-cost starter device.
Competition would include Amazon's 7-inch Kindle Fire which currently comes with a $159 price tag. Amazon's other 7-inch tablet, the more advanced Kindle Fire HD, starts at $199. Meanwhile Google's most basic Nexus 7 tablet currently retails for $199, as does Barnes & Nobles' Nook Color HD.
If recent reports are anything to go by, we could see the launch of a slew of low-cost tablets in 2013. Late last month, for example, it was suggested that Google, buoyed by the success of its Nexus 7 device, was planning a simpler, cheaper tablet along the lines of its existing model.
No doubt all will become clearer when the Consumer Electronics Show gets under way in Las Vegas in a couple of weeks time.

The annual Catalogue Day was held at the Kew on Friday19 November. About 50 people (my guess) attended, including staff and two clients from outside the UK. Most of the presentations were short, 20 minutes. Two were more substantive of which I only was able to attend the first, on Resource Discovery, by Tim Gollins who is TNA's Head of Digital Preservation and Resource Discovery.
Gollins described himself as a computer/information technology geek, but did a good job presenting the material in a non-technical way. He explained that he views the resource discovery challenge as the scientific one of connecting clients needs with the organization's information, projected through a computer interface.
The original TNA online catalogue, PROCAT, was developed in 2000 with eight million entries and has grown to 11 million. Although the interface has changed the catalogue today is built on PROCAT and its departmental hierarchy.
In ten years the technology explosion has changed client expectations and presents further challenges.
- the volume of data is increasing. With an average 45 facts per catalogue entry there are 500,000,000 facts in the catalogue, and millions more when other data such as Documents Online are included.
- the user base is more widely distributed. For every document ordered in the reading rooms 221 are now ordered and delivered online. That's up from about 170 a year ago.
- the construction of the current catalogue system is inflexible. Add-ons and a proliferation of tools leads to confusion for users.
- search systems technology has changed radically in the past decade.
- funding limitation are placing a premium on economies of scale. Paradoxically a uniformity of approach can lead to increased flexibility for users at lower cost.
- the public policy agenda, "big society", "transparency".
A catalogue, a means to find a resource, should be as simple and comprehensive as possible and present a coherent and consistent view of the collection reflecting a user viewpoint.
Gollins explained that the aim of their resource discovery initiative is to provide a facilitated discovery browsing approach, much as in online shopping, where information can be filtered based on the terms the user understands. In his view these are subject, place and people.
On subject, Gollins contrasted TNA's objective with Google's which is to find the one hit sufficient to answer a request in a "good enough" manner. TNA needs to be comprehensive identifying all relevant resources. For them "good enough" isn't. The approach is through taxonony, which seems to means tags.
On place, they are working on map interfaces as a means to browse and filter information. The work is at an early stage.
On people, they are looking to tune the search system to respond to people's names, both for the prominent and not so prominent.
TNA have a substantial cataloguing team working to improve the data on which resources discovery is based and are looking to find ways to enlist users to contribute (big society). They hope to build communities around records and open up data in bulk to allow geeks to create new interfaces and build mashups.
I asked about the compatibility with initiatives in archives elsewhere, nationally and internationally. While there is some conversation internationally TNA believe they are ahead of their counterparts. I would expect that making data available in bulk would be some indication that anything they develop should be amenable to integration on an international scale. It would be unfortunate if the archival community did not eventually work toward an international catalog(ue), just as WorldCat is doing for bibliographic information, so that the client does not have to identify which organization holds the information they seek as a first step in the search.
Several of the shorter presentations referred to the TNA Labs website at http://labs.nationalarchives.gov.uk/wordpress//?WT.hp=la in particular the UK History Photo Finder. It has a map interface. I wasn't successful in getting it to work (it is a Labs application so that kind of glitch is to be expected.)
I was very sorry to have to miss the talk "Views from the bottom, Voices from below: Poverty and Punishment, Law and Lunacy" by Paul Carter and Sarah Hutton.
Finally, I'd like to commend TNA on holding this event, and for their other initiatives to communicate two-way with their clients, an initiative other organization would be well advised to follow.

John, does this statement mean what I think it means? "For every document ordered in the reading rooms 221 are now ordered and delivered online." Only a small portion of all documents are available online. Does this mean then that those that are available are being viewed, at a rough estimate, thousands of time more often than the average document in the collection? Or am I misunderstanding something? Thanks.

Yes Paul. The most popular collections, those of most interest for family history, have been digitized. You still have to visit to see those of less general interest, like Court Rolls. It's the 20/80 rule in action, only more so.

Dietary suggestions for diarrhea during chemotherapy
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
My father is 85 and is has stage IV colon cancer. He is currently undergoing chemotherapy and one of his biggest problems is diarrhea. My mother needs recipes that are easy to fix. Can you help?
Katrina Claghorn, MS, RD, Registered Dietitian at the Abramson Cancer Center of the University of Pennsylvania, responds:
A low fiber, low lactose diet is usually recommended for diarrhea. Your doctor's office should be able to provide you with a list of low fiber foods. Here are some suggestions:
High protein foods/entrees: Meat, fish, poultry and eggs are all low fiber. Avoid frying or dishes that have added fat such as gravies.
Starches: use refined carbohydrates such as white rice, white flour noodles, pasta, white bread and rolls. Potatoes are fine, just don't eat the skin. Rice has been found to help reduce diarrhea. Check the fiber content of cereals and grain products. Choose those with less than 2 grams of fiber.
Vegetables: asparagus, beets, green beans, mushrooms, summer squash, tomatoes without seeds and carrots. Cook the vegetable until well done.
Fruit: Applesauce, apricots, bananas, melons, canned fruits, nectarines, oranges and peaches. Applesauce and bananas help reduce diarrhea.
Dairy: Use lactaid milk, or soy or rice milks. Yogurt is often tolerated. Lactose free cottage cheese and ice cream are now available.
Soups: broth based soups are best tolerated.
Hope this gives you some ideas on putting a menu together.

The IUPUI Center for Economic Education has won the 2013 Peter V. Harrington Award for University Centers from the Indiana Council for Economic Education and its executive committee. The center — part of the IU School of Liberal Arts at IUPUI and directed by senior lecturer in economics Mohammad Kaviani with support from program coordinator Terri Crews — works with Indiana schools to help students become better decision-makers, more knowledgeable consumers and productive citizens.
To accomplish this task, the center works with K-12 educators to improve their understanding of economics and personal finance and provides them with teaching strategies that can be easily integrated into their classroom instruction.
"I firmly believe that developing an economic way of thinking is like learning a foreign language: the younger the better. We need to tackle economic illiteracy early and persistently both in and outside the classroom," Kaviani said. "The center plays a vital role in helping Central Indiana teachers, students and area residents take a common sense approach to economics.
"The center facilitates programs that engage teachers at all grade levels, on a variety of topics, and helps them learn how to implement economics into their existing curricula. Last year's programs included workshops on basic economics and personal finance concepts; the role of economics in energy and environmental policy; using children's literature to teach economics; and the impact and outcome of the recent financial crisis. The center also coordinated two high school competitions: the Economics Challenge and the Personal Finance Challenge. These programs, along with the center's efforts to build a stronger relationship with teachers in Indianapolis Public Schools, were highlights last year."
The Indiana Council for Economic Education commended the Center for Economic Education for its K-12 professional development and student-focused programs offered during the 2012-13 school year. The Harrington Judging Committee praised the center for its continued high level of programming, the increase in the number of teachers and students who participated in those programs, and the variety of economic education opportunities it made available to teachers and students last year.
"There are 11 Centers for Economic Education statewide in Indiana, and I'm very pleased that the IUPUI center is receiving this year's Harrington Award," said William Blomquist, dean of the IU School of Liberal Arts. The Harrington Award was presented at an event at the Indianapolis Children's Museum on Sept. 20. The honor comes with a $3,000 award funded by Duke Realty.

Tyler Hoffman
Farmington High School
Pressing the "no" button on the Harvard University admissions page for accepted students was one of the most difficult things Farmington High School valedictorian Tyler Hoffman has ever done. "The name was definitely a major factor in my decision to apply early to Harvard. I sort of convinced myself that Harvard was the best fit for me because of its prestige, and then I ultimately just decided on Princeton because that's what my gut was telling me," said Hoffman, who was also accepted to Yale University. At Princeton University he'll study math, economics and computer science. Hoffman has a long list of accomplishments that helped him get into the most prestigious schools in the nation. He is a U.S. Presidential Scholar, one of two selected from the state; a National Merit Scholarship winner, and he also won a Connecticut Governor's Scholar Award. He also received the Harvard Prize Book Award, a national AP Scholar award, and was a National Honor Society Scholarship Regional Winner. He played soccer and baseball in high school, and was one of 12 finalists selected in the U.S. for the Wendy's High School Heisman award. But Hoffman said his most important accomplishment was starting Tyler's Exercise and Activity Mission (TEAM), a volunteer after-school program in Farmington and Avon elementary schools. "I noticed some of my friends in high school were making really poor eating decisions at lunch, a lot of them weren't exercising very often, and it was kind of frustrating to me," Hoffman said. "So I figured there was maybe something I could do about it, I could try to have an influence on kids in my town who were younger." Hoffman runs the after-school programs twice a week with his own equipment and assistance from other members of the baseball team. The kids exercise by playing games, cycling through various fitness stations, and learn about nutrition. Hoffman said although he can't see the direct impact, he thinks it's changing lives. "One girl in particular said she was going to try out for a sports team for the first time because the program showed her she was a lot more athletic than she thought she was," he said. "Hopefully we can inspire more kids." --Nicole Perez

Time to Let Go
Yes, I do know my son is almost 27 years old and can handle many more things on his own than I give him credit for, but sometimes it is so hard to step back and let that happen. The scary unknown is rearing its ugly head again. Yet, when this opportunity presents itself it always serves to teach me a valuable lesson.
Going to Cody's new program with him twice a week and watching him get up and down out of his chair 15 times an hour, not being able to focus on a given task and spewing random strings of echolalia out of the blue had all become old and discouraging. I really had lost all hope that this program was going to be right for Cody. But as a last ditch effort, I decided to see what would happen if I removed myself from the scene.
Cody and I walked in the door one Thursday morning and just as we were signing in, the Staff Director walked out of the classroom and greeted us. I told him I was going to change things up a bit and just see how well Cody would do without me sitting right there, but I would be just out in the lobby if there were any problems. The Director seemed quite okay with that arrangement and to my surprise—so did Cody.
I sat on the sofa by the front door while he was in class. My ears were perked, listening for any signs that suggested Cody was experiencing any sort of anxiety but there were none. Once however, he did hop up and down and giggle hysterically like he does when he's happily excited.
I peered in the door from time to time and watched him. He was responding to instructions pretty much on cue. And to my surprise he was interacting with others in the class in a way I've never seen him do before.
There are two ladies there who are also clients in the program. Both ladies are much older than Cody but both took a liking to him right from the start. They took on the roles sort of "big sisters" to Cody. Both took him under their wings and gave him lots of encouragement to participate and lots of positive support and praise when he did well. And he was eating it up like candy. The more I watched the more intrigued I became. Soon I noticed this cramping sensation in my cheeks. Then I realized I was smiling so big the corners of my mouth must have been tickling my ear lobes.
Later the class went for a walk at a nearby park. One of the women took Cody's hand and eagerly said, "Come on Cody, let's go!" Cody made no objection but smiled and cheerfully complied. Hand-in-hand they left and 45 minutes later returned the same way.
The whole morning went very well. So Monday I sat in the lobby once again. Again there were no problems. The following Thursday they all went to a movie. I took this opportunity to do some grocery shopping then returned to pick Cody up. All went well. On Monday of this week I dropped Cody off and he stayed for the duration of the day then Bill picked him up on his way home from work. When he got home he was a little tired from all the activities but otherwise fine.
I had been so apprehensive about leaving Cody alone there. Even though there are much smaller group settings here than at the adult daycare program he attended before, I still worried about him becoming agitated due to overstimulation and then either having a meltdown or becoming aggressive towards himself or others. And all the while I thought my presence would help to increase his focus on the itinerary. Turns out, in this case I was more of a distraction to Cody instead of the encouraging force I had intended to be.
Like many parents I sometimes seek to help my child when he needs no help. This was one of those times. I realize now that I really needed to just let go and let him succeed on his own. And so far he's doing a wonderful job of it.

Carlos Queiroz believes Iran can qualify for World Cup 2014 but has reminded his players that they need to stay focused in the final few matches.
Iran have not qualified for a World Cup since 2006 and the former Portugal and Real Madrid boss is well aware of the expectations that are on him and his players, but praised them for their continued development over the past two years.
He told Fifa.com: "Pressure is just part of my life, and part of football. For me, it encourages you to obtain good results. It goes without saying that every Iranian dreams of experiencing the World Cup again.
"It's been good. As far as our progress is concerned, we're been improving steadily up to this point.
"There are three matches left to play – we're going to have to hang in there right until the last kick of the ball to book our ticket, because the race is just so tight."
Iran currently sit in third place in their qualification group behind Uzbekistan and South Korea on seven points.

Welcome to Pacific Booker Minerals
The Company
Pacific Booker Minerals Inc. (PBM) owns the Morrison property located in
Central British Columbia, 35 km north of the Village of Granisle.
PBM is in the advanced stage of development of the Morrison porphyry
copper/gold/molybdenum deposit. PBM has completed a Feasibility Study and 43-101
compliant Technical Report and is proposing an open-pit mining and milling
operation for the production of copper/gold/molybdenum concentrate from the
Morrison deposit. It is located within 29 km of two former producing copper
mines, Bell and Granisle.
The Feasibility Study was completed by Wardrop Engineering Ltd., a Tetra Tech
Company, with technical support of a team of other consultants. The study
describes the scope, design features and financial viability of a conventional
open pit mine with a 30,000 tonnes per day mill.
The highlights of the Feasibility Study are:
The total mineable reserve, classified as proven and probable,
at Net Smelter Return (NSR) cut-off-value of $CDN5.60/t, is 224.25Mt with an
average grade of 0.330% Copper, 0.163g/t Gold and 0.004% Molybdenum;
The overburden and waste total is 184.12 Mt for a strip ratio
of 0.82:1;
Recovered metal is 1.37 billion lbs Copper, 658,090 oz Gold
and 10.047 million lbs Molybdenum;
Mine life of 21 years;
Capital cost is estimated at CDN$516.68 million (including a
CDN$59.92 million contingency allocation);
A projected exchange rate of C$1.00/ US$0.87;
Operating cost of CDN$8.15 per tonne milled over the life of
the mine;
Pre-Income Tax Internal Rate of Return (IRR) of 20.05%, based
on metal prices of (four year trailing average as of January 12, 2009) Copper
$2.75, Gold $658.32 and Molybdenum $29.23;
Net Present Value (NPV) at 8.0% discount rate is CDN$495.9M;
Payback period on capital is 4.2 years.
Note: Silver was not included in the financial analysis; however, there is an
opportunity for improved economic performance if silver credits are received
from the treatment and refining of the copper concentrate. Metallurgical
test-work to date has reported silver present in the concentrate.
Note: Silver was not included in the financial analysis; however, there is an

test-work to date has reported silver present in the concentrate.
PBM has completed an Environmental Assessment and submitted an Application for
an Environmental Assessment Certificate to the BC Environmental Assessment
The Environmental Assessment Certificate is required to apply for the various
Licenses and Permits required for the construction, operation and maintenance,
decommissioning, and reclamation of the proposed 30,000 tonnes/day open-pit mine
over a proposed 21 year period.
PBM also submitted a number of permit applications for concurrent review with
the Environmental Assessment Certificate Application, including: (1) the Mining
Lease application, which grants mineral production rights from surveyed mineral
claims; (2) two Licenses of Occupation, which grant surface rights for the use
of Crown Land along the proposed Transmission Line and for an area in the
proposed Tailings Storage Facility; and (3) various Forestry permits and
licenses, which grant the right to cut timber on the mine site and along the
proposed Transmission Line route, and grant permission to use forestry roads for
mine access.
Permits and Licenses are expected to be received in 2010 with mine construction
to follow.
The Morrison deposit has the advantage of existing regional infrastructure to
service the region, including a deep-sea shipping terminal at the port of
Stewart, B.C., a road network, nearby hydro-electric power (20 km from the
project site), two existing nearby forestry camps for preproduction use, and a
full service town (the Village of Granisle) within daily commuting distance from
the project site.

14 months ago, the Autopackage project was small and active, and members sounded optimistic about its success. Now, although the alternative installer project continues, progress has almost come to a halt. The #autopackage channel on irc.oftc.net sits vacant most days, the developer blogs cover almost anything except the project, and commits to the source code repository have become rare. Formally, the project is still alive, but the major contributors all agree that it is faltering. So what happened?

Recently I discussed how I am a bit of a serial monogamist and don't enjoy being single for long, as I am really pretty bad at having casual sex. Well, the sex is usually good, but I'm pretty terrible at keeping it casual. Anyway, if you are a rational person you might think that not liking casual sex is akin to not liking to feel slutty! Oh, how you are wrong!
I actually love feeling slutty. You see, most people don't realize that slutty and "easy" are too very different things. Important note: There is nothing wrong with being "easy!" Sleep with whoever you want, whenever you want! No judgements. But easy and slutty are two different things. One who is easy is, well, bouncing into bed with ease. One who is slutty is uninhibited, a master of their bedroom prowess, playful, creative and confident. Someone who is easy can still insist on the missionary position with the lights off—they just may insist on doing it with the better portion of their college football team and/or the first girl that looks in their direction on any given Friday night. Again, non judgements! Sometimes going home with the first acceptable candidate is a terrific idea… But someone who is slutty may only have slept with a small handful of people, or just one person!—yet is into trying new things, showing off what they've got and looks at sex with the same sense of curiosity and gusto they would any other aspect of their life.
So you see, I get to feel super slutty whenever I want, within the comfort of my own relationship, and without the feeling like I may or may not be contracting Chlamydia!
Let me stop my incessant rambling… here are a handful of ways you can be a super slut without being super easy. Or you can be both slutty AND easy. More power to you.
5 ways to release your inner slut:
1. Be Open. A slut is up for just about anything and looks at new experiences as a challenge to be met. Whether you take direction from your partner or come up with your own fresh plan of action—propping a mirror at the foot of the bed for a racy visual, dirty talking in a false british accent (hot or annoying? You tell me!) or playing with a new toy—a slut is unpredictable and spontaneous.
2. Exude Confidence. Sluts don't hide under the covers—they are comfortable in their skin. Hanging around in the nude or stomping about in lingerie and heels should make you feel super-saucy—even if you're alone. And don't forget dudes can be sluts too…maybe no heels, but put on whatever makes you feel hot. Suspenders for a little Magic Mike action? I donno, whatever gets you!
3. Get Verbal. Sluts aren't only having sex, they are talking about it too. Whether that means amping up the dirty talk while in the bedroom, dishing about it with friends or telling your man(or woman!) friend what you want to do to them later—verbalizing your sexuality is a good thing. While sipping coffee at a cafe or having dinner with your friends/lesbian god-mother/parents, quietly telling your man what you plan on doing to him when you get home. Ooh, and I love drunk sexting.
4. Be Mistake-Free. A true slut will never look at a past sexual experience as a mistake; it was something that seemed fun at the time, and you learned from it—or at least had a really awesome time. No regrets for you!
5. Love Being Slutty. Unlike someone who feels embarrassed or insecure about their sexuality, a slut is proud of who they are and what they want. They enjoy taking chances, exploring new outlets and being free to do what (and whom) they choose. For instance, a slut never feels obligated to perform any sexual favor… They either don't do it, or they do it with a naughty grin on their face. However, and this is key, a slut knows their limits. If there is something you truly are against doing—anal sex or that threesome with your college room mate your boyfriend keeps suggesting—put your slutty little foot down. No means no!

Editor, the Record:
Editor, the Record:
Many would agree that the Pennsylvania prison system has been bursting at the seams and Monroe County Correctional Facility is one example of this abuse. Today, MCCF crams people in like sardines and I worry about health, safety and fire risk in this small facility. One must question the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections' intention.
Furthermore, why do they incarcerate mentally ill and bipolar disorder individuals? A March 11 lawsuit by the Disability Rights' Network, on behalf of Pennsylvania prisoners with mental illness against the Department of Corrections, alleges prisoners with serious mental illness such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder are not given adequate treatment in solitary confinement.
Is this true? Solitary confinement for the mentally ill? Why do these twisted people within the prison system, Washington and Wall Street enjoy profiting and torturing those who can least defend themselves, the mentally ill and challenged?
Why is taxpayers' money unfairly used to warehouse millions of people? A November 2011 aclu.org publication noted that the U.S. imprisons more people — both per capita and in absolute terms — than any other nation, including Russia, China and Iran. This explosive imprisonment in the United States has increased by 700 percent since the 1970s. But the number in the private prisons increased by 1,600 percent between 1990 and 2009.
Unjust criminal laws are depleting taxpayers' money to warehouse non-violent inmates with petty crimes with steep sentences. They curtail earning probation, parole and work release. These high prison rates of one in four, deprives citizens and returning servicemen's liberty and freedom, that is supposed to be guaranteed by the supreme law of the land, our U.S. Constitution and our Bill of Rights. When will America wake up?

Andrew J Millar
'Drift Beyond The Edge'
- Print Information
- Artist Biography
Andrew Millar, born in 1983 is a British artist whose main body of work focuses on the portrait.
Early on he became fascinated by various print processes as well as photography. It was only a matter of time until the autodidact came about the classic and almost forgotten Polaroid film more than a decade ago. He has since been pushing the limits and exploring the manipulative potential of this light sensitive material for his collages. He applies leaf of precious metals and sometime's acrylic colour in the finishing process by hand, thereby creating a unique piece with each artwork.
Millar is taking his visual elements from countless sources, then combining these in quiet, sometimes somber, surreal duo-chromatic portraits. There is definite elegance to his detailed works, which make them seem like classic orthodox icons of anonymous saints or posters of forgotten movies and heroines.
In recent years Andrew Millar's work has become increasingly popular and his talent has earned him international recognition with solo exhibitions in Paris, Amsterdam, Berlin, Barcelona, New York, and London.
- Artwork Analysis
An unprecedented Andrew J Millar edition, 'Drift Beyond the Edge' is a highly limited screenprint edition based on Millar's iconic six-part polaroid editions. Screen printed on to gratifyingly thick deckled fine art paper, this edition is finished with hand-applied gold leaf to create a gloriously textured and shining artwork.

Winship wins prestigious fundraising award
Nancy K. Winship, P'10, P'13, Brandeis' senior vice president of institutional advancement, has won the prestigious Quarter Century Circle Award for distinguished professional achievement from District I of the Council for Advancement and Support of Education (CASE).
She will receive the award at a ceremony Jan. 29 during CASE's annual district conference in Boston. District I encompasses the six New England states plus eastern Canada.
In 20 years as Brandeis' chief fundraiser, Winship has been a major change agent, energizing donors, reconnecting disengaged alumni and implementing sophisticated giving programs. She has been an integral part of a fundraising effort that has secured more than $1.4 billion for Brandeis since her arrival in 1994.
"Nancy Winship is one of those extraordinary advancement professionals who lives and breathes her profession 24 hours a day," says John J. Glier, chief executive of GG+A, a leading international philanthropic consultancy. "Her work with volunteer leaders, chief executives and academic thought leaders has helped raise hundreds of millions of dollars to support an extraordinary range of mission-critical initiatives. Her loyalty and commitment to her staff and their professional growth is equally remarkable. She richly deserves this recognition, and I know I join many who applaud her as both colleague and friend."
During Winship's tenure at Brandeis, annual fundraising has quadrupled, the endowment has grown to $820 million, and gifts from alumni have grown sixfold. Each year, she has exceeded challenging Annual Fund targets and met ambitious fundraising goals for scholarships.
Before coming to Brandeis, she served as vice president for endowment and development at Combined Jewish Philanthropies in Boston, and as director of metropolitan relations and associate director for planned and major gifts at Northwestern University.

WACO, Texas (Sept. 18, 2012) – Marlan O. Scully, Ph.D., Baylor University Distinguished Researcher and member of the National Academy of Sciences, has been named as the 2012 recipient of the Frederic Ives Medal/Jarus Quinn Prize, the highest award conferred by The Optical Society for his groundbreaking research in quantum optics.
He will accept the medal and give the plenary speech entitled, "The Quantum Photocell: Increasing Efficiency via Quantum Coherence," at the OSA's annual meeting Oct. 14 to 18 in Rochester, N.Y.
"Dr. Scully is a prolific scholar and researcher, and he has made countless contributions to the field of quantum optics," said Elizabeth Davis, Ph.D., Baylor University executive vice president and provost. "This award is well-deserved recognition for his lifetime of achievements. We are delighted to have Dr. Scully as a member of the faculty here at Baylor."
Scully was cited for his lifetime of leadership in "research on all aspects of quantum optics, including the quantum theory of the laser, quantum coherence effects, quantum thermodynamics and the foundations of quantum mechanics," according to the OSA.
"A man may plot his course, but the Lord orders his steps, and looking back at the path He has laid for me in this life is humbling," Scully said. "Quantum mechanics, the crowning achievement of the 20th century, continues to bear fruit in the 21st century in the form of quantum optics and laser physics. The OSA has consistently nurtured quantum optics and is my favorite professional society. I am therefore deeply honored to receive the Ives-Quinn prize of the OSA."
Scully, who joined the Baylor faculty in 2011, has made outstanding research accomplishments over his long career in the areas of quantum optics, laser physics and bioengineering. He wrote definitive textbooks on quantum optics and laser physics and has published his research in more than 700 articles in professional journals such as Nature and Science. He has also written for popular venues like Scientific American and Physics Today.
"Dr. Scully continues to push back the boundaries of physics while at the same time opening entirely new areas of research in quantum optics. His presence in the BRIC provides immediate international impact and opens the door to wonderful opportunities in the future. This award is richly deserved and we are fortunate to have him as part of the Baylor family," said Truell Hyde, Ph.D., Baylor University vice provost for research.
Scully is a member of the Academia Europa, the Max Planck Society, and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. He has received numerous awards and honors including the Elliot Cresson Medal of the Franklin Institute, the Schawlow Prize of the American Physical Society, the Townes Medal of the American Optical Society, the Herbert Walther Award of the German Physical Society, and a Guggenheim Fellowship. He was recently appointed Loeb Lecturer at Harvard University.
Scully did his undergraduate work at the University of Wyoming and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and his master's and doctoral work at Yale University. He is also a member of the faculties at Texas A&M University and Princeton University. He is the Herschel Burgess Distinguished Professor and Director of the Institute for Quantum Science and Engineering at Texas A&M and for the past decade has held a professorial position at Princeton.
The Optical Society (OSA) brings together the global optics community through its programs and initiatives. Since 1916 it has worked to advance the common interests of the field, providing educational resources to the scientists, engineers and business leaders who work in the field by promoting the science of light and the advanced technologies made possible by optics and photonics.

text: Australian insolvency law reforms aim to increase business restructuring opportunities Share this 22 JUL 2016 Par: Amelia Kelly The Australian government is working to significantly reform Australia's current insolvency laws by mid-2017. The reforms are intended to achieve greater likelihood of business preservation by introducing the flexibility to achieve real turnaround of businesses in crisis. The proposed changes include: Reduction of the bankruptcy period from three years to one year Introduction of a safe harbour for directors to avoid personal liability for insolvent trading if they appoint a restructuring adviser to develop a turnaround plan for the company Unenforceability of certain ipso facto clauses − which allow contracts to be terminated due to an insolvency event − when a company is undertaking a restructure The proposals represent the most significant set of reforms to Australia's corporate and personal insolvency laws of the last 20 years. The changes are likely to increase business risk-taking and provide real opportunity for a company in financial distress to effect a turnaround or restructure. This, in turn, is likely to increase opportunities for international investors in the distressed debt market in Australia. Safe harbour for directors Under the current regime, a director attempting to restructure a company in financial distress can incur civil and even criminal liability for insolvent trading if the company subsequently fails and goes into liquidation. To avoid that risk, a director will often appoint a voluntary administrator at an early stage, even when the company may be financially viable in the long term. There is stigma associated with such a formal insolvency appointment and it can often be swiftly followed by a liquidation. The current laws have been criticised for being inflexible, unduly oppressive for directors and stifling of new enterprise and innovation. Under the proposed new laws, directors will be protected from insolvent trading claims if they appoint a restructuring advisor to develop a turnaround plan for the company. This is likely to open up significant opportunity to restructure the company and ensure its survival. The headline changes are as follows: If a company makes and records a decision to appoint an adviser with a view to constructing a turnaround plan directors will have a defence to insolvent trading – a safe harbour. The defence will commence from the date of the appointment of the adviser. The adviser must be registered and must have at least five years' experience as an insolvency and turnaround practitioner. At the time of the appointment, the company must be solvent (this must be certified by the adviser), although the company can become insolvent during the safe harbour period. The appointment must be for the express purpose of providing restructuring advice focused on the company's continued solvency and viability. There will be a moratorium on enforcement action during the restructuring period. Implementation: the adviser must certify within one month that there are reasonable grounds to believe that the company is capable of being viable; the adviser's appointment will end if the company is no longer viable. The directors must demonstrate that they took all reasonable steps to pursue the restructuring as advised by the adviser. The safe harbour will end once the restructure has been implemented or the appointment of the adviser has ceased. Ipso facto clauses An ipso facto clause is a standard term of contract. It entitles one party to terminate the contract when the counterparty experiences an insolvency event. This can occur even if all payments are up to date and there is no other breach. Termination of a significant contract could stultify a receiver's or administrator's attempts to trade the business as a going concern and preserve value in the business. The exercise of ipso facto rights can trigger the collapse of a distressed company for example, if major suppliers, customers and other stakeholders exercise such a right. Terminating key contracts dissipates value and can prevent the ability to restructure a business as a going concern. The proposed new laws will prevent a party from terminating a contract under an ipso facto clause based solely on an insolvency event occurring and thus give the company a chance to continue on as a going concern while a possible restructure is implemented. Certain contracts may be excluded from this restriction, such as prescribed financial contracts. The government is seeking submissions as to which contracts should be carved out from this restriction in the final form of the legislation. Our comment Australia has one of the highest rates of entrepreneurship in the world: between 2006 and 2011 startups (businesses younger than three years old) added 1.44 million full time equivalent jobs to the Australian economy. But entrepreneurs will sometimes fail before they succeed. The new proposed laws recognise this by seeking to promote and support a turnaround culture in Australia and provide real opportunity for a distressed business to be restructured rather than become subject to a formal insolvency appointment. The proposed new regime is likely to generate increased opportunities for international investors to participate in Australia's distressed debt market. With its relative economic strength and predictable legal system, Australia represents an attractive alternative to the heavily competed distressed debt markets of Europe and the United States.

text: (CNN) -- Roger Federer has told CNN he may make another attempt to win the Olympic singles gold medal he craves in Rio in four years' time. The world No. 1 was pipped to the London 2012 crown by Britain's Andy Murray -- the man Federer beat to secure his seventh Wimbledon title just over a month ago. The 30-year-old has won 17 grand slams in his illustrious career and took gold in the doubles with Stanislas Wawrinka in Beijing four years ago, but he has failed to win the singles title in four attempts. Despite the disappointment he felt at being brushed aside 6-2 6-1 6-4 by Murray and missing out on topping the podium, Federer did at least claim his first solo medal. Federer reflects on Wimbledon win Federer: I felt bad beating Andy Murray Defending Olympic gold 2009: Roger Federer gets the giggles "I'm not sure yet, it's four years away. I can retire in the meantime and come again!" Federer told CNN about his hopes of an Olympic appearance in Brazil. "But I'm not going to do that, I'm going to keep on playing. I hope I can do it. I'm turning 31 in a few days, so I'll be 35 for Rio -- I think it's possible but we'll see how it goes." Murray conquers Federer to take Olympic gold at Wimbledon A gold medal would have capped a perfect month for Federer, after his victory at Wimbledon catapulted him back to the top of the world rankings. And once the bitter sting of defeat on Centre Court had subsided, Federer insisted finally getting his hands on a singles medal tempered the disappointment of his straight-sets loss. "I'd have to say I was very disappointed for three to five minutes," he said. "I was in a little room waiting for the ceremony, I saw Del Potro and Murray and I saw how happy they were for gold, for bronze. "Of course I'd just lost my match where Del Potro had to win the bronze over Djokovic. So I was in the middle and I was the only one who'd lost that day. "I thought, 'Hmmm, I could either be sad right now, extremely sad, or extremely proud and happy,' and I chose to be extremely happy and proud. "It was a dream summer for me. I won Wimbledon and I returned to world No. 1 and I tried everything I could to win Olympic gold, and I just came up against a better player on the day. Air Max 95 "So for me silver is the maximum I could get out of the Olympics this time around. I was just extremely happy, like a little kid there on the podium." Supreme Serena crushes Sharapova to achieve the Golden Slam Murray's victory offered the Scot recompense for his heartbreaking defeat in the Wimbledon final -- the first time a British male had reached the showpiece event since 1938. The 25-year-old beat former world No. 1 Novak Djokovic on his way to the final, and also claimed silver in the mixed doubles with Laura Robson. And Federer paid tribute to his rival for winning his first major tennis title less than a month after losing his fourth grand slam final. "I thought he played great," Federer said. "What a champion, to come back from losing in the finals of Wimbledon, resting, preparing. I'm turning 31 in a few days, so I'll be 35 for Rio -- I think it's possible but we'll see how it goes Roger Federer "With the pressure, okay he had home advantage -- you can see that as an advantage or a disadvantage -- but for him to come back and win the Olympics, people sort of expected him to maybe do that. Why Federer's friend flew the Swiss flag "But he came through Djokovic and through me, who he lost to at the finals at Wimbledon, that's the sign of a champion. "I always knew he had it in him but it was good to see he didn't let his head hang and was disappointed and upset and sour about his loss at Wimbledon. "He should have been proud of it and that's what I told him then. I hope he enjoys this victory like he should because it was a big victory for him." Federer survives marathon semifinal Federer admitted his challenge for the gold was dampened by his marathon semifinal against Argentina's Juan Martin del Potro -- the longest in Olympic history at four hours and 26 minutes. The deciding set was eventually won 19-17 by Federer but the Swiss refused to blame tiredness for his lackluster performance. "I missed a lot of opportunities, I think I made zero of nine break points and he made four out of 10. We weren't that far away from each other but he pulled away," he said. "I think with the crowd he got momentum and it was hard to stop. Maybe emotionally I was a bit drained, or physically a bit slow at times after the Del Potro match, but I had a day to rest so no excuses, he was the better player on the day. "I have regrets, a little bit, but I tried everything I could but it wasn't enough."

Data Protection Commissioner launches his Annual Report for 2011
The Data Protection Commissioner, Billy Hawkes, today launched his report for 2011. The Commissioner draws attention to the shift in the nature and type of complaints received by his Office with individuals concerned about the security of their personal data and the uses made of that data by software and technology applications. He has also highlighted the increased demand on the resources of his Office as a result of the location of the world's largest technology players in Ireland and the potential for reputational damage for the country if his Office is not in a position, due to resource issues, to perform its statutory responsibilities.
During 2011 the Office opened 1,161 complaints for investigation. This was a record high number of complaints and it compares with 783 complaints in 2010. Complaints concerning access rights (562) accounted for nearly half of the overall total reflecting a growing level of public awareness of the right of access to a copy of personal data.
The report includes case studies of a number of specific investigations including:
? Prosecution of Vodafone, UPC, Eircom, O2 and Regine Ltd for marketing offences
? Excessive data collection by Swan Leisure Centre
? Unlawful use of CCTV by Westwood Swimming Ltd to monitor an employee
? Financial institutions seeking to restrict the right of access to credit assessments
? Complaints about solicitors and private investigators not complying with access requests
Data Security Breaches
Last year for the first time the number of data breach notifications outstripped the number of complaints opened for investigation with 1,167 data security breach incidents reported to the Office up from 410 in 2010. The Commissioner does not see this as an actual increase in the number of breaches occurring, rather a raised awareness of the need to notify his Office. The Commissioner reports on serious data security breach incidents that occurred in 2011 involving the HSE (see pages 13 and 14 of the Report).
The report lists the 28 audits undertaken in 2011 and details the audit of Facebook
General Election Related Complaints
The Office dealt with nearly 100 complaints or queries from individuals who received unwanted contact from candidates for election or political parties in the course of the General Election in 2011. As of 1 July, 2011 a previous exemption from normal data protection requirements for such contacts by electronic means is now removed. As a result, the Commissioner is no longer restricted from investigating complaints in this area and he has already issued a warning to a political party about the sending of unsolicited marketing text messages in the course of the Presidential Election campaign.

Republican vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan greets the crowd at Peterbilt Truck & Parts Equipment in Sparks, Nev., on Friday.
SPARKS, Nev. -- Republican vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan continued his harsh words for President Barack Obama and the Democrats Friday while campaigning in the battleground state of Nevada on the day the most recent jobs numbers were released.
"President Obama is not a bad guy. He's good at giving great speeches, he's just really bad at creating jobs," Ryan told the crowd outside Peterbilt Truck Parts & Equipment.
Friday morning, the Bureau of Labor Statistics announced the US economy added just 96,000 jobs, which was below expectations and the unemployment rate dropped from 8.3 percent to 8.1 percent.
"We got some pretty disappointing news just today," the House Budget Chairman said in front of roughly 1,400 people. "You know we learned today that for every person that got a job, nearly four people stopped looking for a job. They gave up. We can't keep doing this."
Ryan continued: "Our economy needs to create just 150,000 jobs every month just to keep up with the growth of our population. Friends, this is not an economic recovery, this is nowhere close to an economic recovery. We need a new president, and we need a real economic recovery."
Friday's event outside of Reno marked the seven-term Wisconsin congressman's second public event in the Silver State since being tapped as Mitt Romney's running mate in early August. Ryan reminded the crowd, surrounded by truck cabs, just how crucial their vote on Nov. 6 is.
"Nevadans you know this. You have a lot of power in your hands … you're a battleground state," he said. "That means you have a very special responsibility. Lots of people around the country are depending on you. You also have a great opportunity. Because if we meet this moment for what it is, we can get ourselves back on the right track."
Ryan will now turn his full attention to fundraising while on the West Coast. He holds a pair of private fundraisers Friday night in the San Francisco area and then will be in Fresno, Calif., Saturday before heading to Portland, Ore., and Seattle on Monday.

White Papers and Application Notes
Photonic/Plasmonic Structures from Metallic Nanoparticles in a Glass MatrixO. Kiriyenko, W. Hergert, S. Wackerow, M. Beleites, and H. Graener
Inst. für Physik, Martin-Luther-Universität Halle-Wittenberg, Germany
Glass containing nanoparticles is a promising material for various photonic applications due to the unique optical properties mainly resulting from the strong surface plasmon resonance (SPR) of the silver nanoparticles. The characteristics of the resonance can be modified by varying size, shape and concentration of the particles. A finite element method (FEM) implemented in the software COMSOL Multiphysics is used to calculate effective permittivities of this composite material. Two-dimensional structures of rods characterized by an effective permittivity have been considered. In contrast to the preparation of photonic crystals in silicon the deviations from the ideal structures are more important for the structures under consideration here, because such structures cannot be manufactured with the same accuracy like the silicon counterparts.

Cap sleeve summer dress
Added Aug 4, 2011
by Dory Cubana
Zagreb, Croatia
Summer dress, easy to make, some skill required in placing bias cur ribbons around the neck and lower arm opening to avoid rough edges. I also sewed on white ribbon on the inside of the lower end dress seam to make it stand better and add some weight. Of course, this is a large size – I enlarged the orginal biggest size (44) to my size 48. Verys easily done, no additional alterations on fabric had to be done, which means the pattern is really good. I've learned to sew in the 1980s, using a Burda how-to book and lots of Burda and the then popular Neue Mode patterns.
Material Notes
IKEA decor fabric. I liked the flower pattern so much, but instead of a sun deck chair pillow decided to use it for a dress instead. Hope you think it was a good idea too!

AMAZING! I'm resisting the urge to run to Ikea and copy your idea right now! This is a great example of making the fabric do all the work. Elegant and beautiful.

Pretty! Beautifully made.
I also made a dress in this fabric (the 'Royksopp Dress'), and it's lovely to wear and attracts a lot of compliments as it's such a striking print. It wears just like a denim dress really!

Hmm. Those prices look almost too good to be true, Francois. Are you sure they are not internet only shops? I have seen those prices in Switzerland but they were internet only shops (which makes me think they are "grey imports", i.e. mail order only). If they have a pick-up point it would make it possible. Any links to shop webpages, please?
I might make it to the other end of the country though (I have a friend in Lausanne).
Does this little shop have a name? Or can you link here a google map shot? My friend is commuting daily from Lausanne to Pully and catches the train in Lausanne.
Ha! Everybody lives in Pully in Switzerland?! Next we're going to find out you're my friend's half brother's niece brother in law.
I'll see if he wants to move his arse 300 meters on the way home.
Thank you.
It's a small world!
You should visit Australia some time.
Don't forget to bring water.
So, my experience of southern Arizona will finally be useful!
Not sure. How much water did you have to carry there?
For a half-day out, in summer, it was easily something 4 to 5 liters (and staying out of direct sunlight as much as I could, low exertion). Sometimes, it was not enough
Right now, in Switzerland, you would need to get that much water out of your boots

Email mandatory?
It often happens that some people set off on a language expedition, but by the time the third interested user is on board, the first one is off-board, because he is tired of waiting and just hanging around. If we make it a norm, or at least a recommendation that those who are coming on board should give a valid email address, then we can just mail them (once only) when there are enough interested users. —Ravikiran r 11:14, 12 March 2007 (EDT)

Press Release
Diamond Comic Distributors, Inc. announced today that industry pioneer and longtime Diamond executive Bill Schanes is stepping down from his position as Vice President of Purchasing, effective April 30, 2013. Schanes will continue at Diamond in a part-time advisory role, at least through the end of 2013.
Executive Director of Purchasing John Wurzer, who began his career at Diamond in 1990, will be promoted to Vice President of Purchasing, with overall responsibility for Diamond's Purchasing and Order Processing departments.
"Deciding to step down was not easy," said Schanes, "It's been a wonderful and enjoyable ride! But after twenty-seven challenging and fulfilling years at Diamond, and forty-plus overall years in the comic industry, I'm looking forward to spending more time simply enjoying life.
"As a co-founder of Pacific Comics in 1971, Bill already had over a dozen years of experience in comic retailing, distribution and publishing when he came to work for me in 1985," said Diamond President and CEO Steve Geppi. "Since then, Bill's vision, creativity and dedication have contributed greatly not just to Diamond's success, but to the success of our industry as a whole. I'm extremely grateful to Bill for all of his contributions, and wish him much success and happiness in the future."
"For starters, given his excitement about the opportunity to move to a new and different chapter in his life, I am extremely happy for Bill, but will certainly miss interacting with him on a daily basis," said Diamond Executive Vice President & COO Chuck Parker. "We both joined Diamond in 1985 and, over the years, Bill's been an outstanding colleague and friend. He is an extremely hard worker with a very creative mind and he passionately cares about what we do as a business. Amongst his many accomplishments, Bill's focus on vendor relations and product diversity helped turn
what once was a modest two-page order form into Diamond's monthly PREVIEWS catalog, an incredible showcase for the comics, graphic novels, and related pop-culture products our industry has to offer. What's more, together with John Wurzer, Bill has assembled an experienced staff of Purchasing and Order Processing professionals who are poised to build upon his efforts going forward."
"My decision to scale back my workload was made easier by the fact that John and I have worked closely together for well over a decade, and I know he is extremely qualified to assume a larger role," said Schanes.
Wurzer began his Diamond career as an Office Manager at a Diamond Distribution Center in Dallas, TX in 1990. He rose to become Manager of the Center, then Regional Manager of Diamond's inventory hub in Sparta, IL, before transferring to Diamond's Home Office in 1999 to assume the role of Director of Order Processing. In 2001, Wurzer was promoted to Executive Director of Purchasing and has been responsible for the day to day operations of the Purchasing department for the last 12-years.
"John is a very bright, hard-working, systems-oriented leader," said Parker. "He's been a great asset to the company, having already contributed to many high level management initiatives, and we congratulate him on his well-earned promotion. I have full confidence in John and I feel the Purchasing department continues to be in very good hands moving forward. "
"I'd like to thank Bill Schanes for all the guidance and friendship he's provided," said Wurzer, "and I look forward to reaching out to our vendors during this transition to continue to build upon the strong relationships they already have with Diamond."

Fuel poverty, that is to say people who can't afford to heat their homes, is at all time high levels in the U.S., Canada, and the U.K. It causes at times a terrible human condition, death, which is estimated as 8,000 people per year in the U.K. There have been calls for immediate "super energy efficiency." No doubt the rest of the world is affected, also.

"By popular demand, I decided to push the limits of Xfce's customisability even further. This time, I would make it look like Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard. This task proved more difficult than trying to make it look like Windows Vista. Though I haven't achieved the same degree of perfection as I did when replicating Vista, I still think I came pretty close."

Homeland Security Is An Embarassment With The Way It Treats US Citizens At The Border
from the this-needs-to-stop dept
At the door, an Egyptian-American woman greeted me, "Al Salaam Aleykum," she said. I reluctantly responded "Wa Aleykum Al Salam," though I was hardly feeling at peace. The room was filled with rows of seats and several DHS officers with colorful folders (red, yellow, green, blue) lined up in front of them with passports and travel documents. The juxtaposition of the colorful folders with the rows of mostly brown people filling the seats was suspect in itself.And, just as Sarah and her family and friends discovered, despite being US citizens, DHS treats them all like criminals:
"Omar Mubarak... Juan Diaz... Sayed Hussain," the officers called us one by one.
I couldn't help but feel as though JFK itself was a bit racist.
After a 14-hour trip, I wanted to stretch my legs. So I stood up, anxious to find myself back in the room, especially after having written to the DHS. "Take a seat," the officer at the door sternly said to me. I told him I wanted to stretch my legs after the long flight. He told me I wasn't allowed to stand up. You are also not allowed to use your phone or electronic equipment. I was also slightly surprised to find as many children in the room as there were cameras.Like Sarah, DHS won't provide any information as to why he was detained. And it clearly wasn't random, seeing as this is the third time in a row it has happened. While he has applied to have his name removed from the list, as we noted with the lawsuit involving Rahinah Ibrahim, DHS seems to have no interest in correcting its mistakes until forced to do so.
"Sir, I'm a U.S. citizen who wants to stand while being detained. Am I not allowed to stand?" I said, pointing to the Asian man and Pakistani woman standing with their toddler strapped to the man's chest. Anyway, there were only two empty seats in the room with a capacity of 60.
"Sit down!" he repeated for the sixth time, and came and confiscated my phone, which I was using to try to text my coworkers who were waiting to share a car home.
Frankly, this is disgusting. It's sickening that we are treating American citizens this way as they attempt to return home. Homeland Security and the US government seem to have dropped all pretense of freedom if you happen to be brown, Muslim or have an Arabic name (and just imagine those who hit on all three). This is not what this country is supposed to stand for -- and the fact that we now have two very similar stories from prominent journalists, and DHS continues to respond by saying absolutely nothing, is even more disgusting. With On the Media, they've been trying to pressure Congress to investigate the matter, but to date, no one in Congress seems to want to take on this issue, which is a real shame.

"Meg Whitman, eBay's former chief executive, will likely be named to lead Hewlett-Packard after markets close on Thursday, according to a person familiar with board decisions. The decision to replace Leo Apotheker, the company's chief executive, after only 11 months on the job is all but made, lacking only a final vote, said the person, who is not authorized to speak for the board. While Mr. Apotheker is going, his strategy, including consideration of spinning off H.P.'s personal computer business from other parts of the company, will remain in place."

dialta needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 65 designs submitted by 22 freelance designers.
We are a start-up internet company in the travel area.
We offer daily only one "lowest price available trip", take a look on woot.com, they have the same concept for consumer products, our focus will be "short trips".
Gogobird.nl/index2.html gives you a small idea of our first thoughts (please don't look in the html ;-D )
Targetgroup: Average women, 40y, family, cost consious, 2/3 times a year holiday (city trip, sun holiday)
1.) Fun
2.) Clean
3.) Powerful
4.) Creative
5.) Detail
6.) Like the mailchimp monkey, but a bird
We Love the colors used in this design:
( See design and UPLOADED FILE ) - feel free to still use dark brown or a grey for borders, etc.
The Bird will also be used separately, an example off a design we very much like you'll find on http://www.mailchimp.com
For example like people did using the twitterbird are nice (you can find those on http://thatmlmbeat.com/blog/top-twi…-for-2009/ ), but please AVOID a twitter look a like, that is very important to us.
* Another important issue is that the Bird's eyes need to look down-right, let's say 4 o'clock!
We don't like blue (because of the twitter look a like).
Please feel free to experiment with colors!
The files we will require are:
Print file format - .ai (CMYK)
Web file format - .jpg and layered .psd (RGB)
Please do not use any stock images in the logo

I've been seeing quite a few recipes lately with matcha powder. You mentioned it on the back to basics - but can you tell us more? Any good places to buy it?
Blog and Shop: http://ojami.etsy.com and http://ojamiya.com
There are a couple of good online tea stores, Hibiki-An and O-Cha.com. Both are in Japan, and ship from there directly all over the world. They are not cheap but they both carry good to excellent tea. Both have matcha - I think O-Cha.com is the one that has matcha and regular leaf green tea ice tea bags, which makes wonderful iced tea.
Otherwise, if you have a good tea shop in your town, try there. Some Japanese confectionery stores carry it too. Japanese grocery stores usually do not stock the good stuff. Matcha is quite expensive by the way, and there's a huge difference between the good and bad stuff.
You can use matcha powder as a flavoring in various foods, though the purest way to have it is as tea, made properly. Making it properly is considered to be somewhat of an art form...it needs to be frothy, not too hot. Well, the whole cult of the tea ceremony surrounds the appreciation of matcha ... imagine an almost religious cult growing up around any other food or drink! Well maybe bacon, but... :P
I myself, being a philistine, like matcha in a slightly sweetened ice milk tea the best. Or matcha ice cream! The best way to use matcha in a drink is to mix it in a bit of warm to hot water first, using a little whisk. (You don't necessarily need the traditional tea whisk, though it helps.)
The Big Onigiri.
- Wherever you go, there you are. -
thanks much. I'll check it out. I saw matcha on amazon - but I was skeptical of it. I'll check those two stores out. ;)
Here in Canada you can also find matcha powder in a lot of health food stores - good thing as I`m practically addicted to it.
I made matcha ice cream over the weekend, using a recipe from Harumi's cookbook. It turned out really well! I decided to make it myself because the kinds sold in store are too light (too much cream and not enough tea). This way I could put all the tea that I want...it came out a lovely dark emerald green. Can't wait to go home and eat some more!
I just bought some matcha milk powder from our local asian grocer. It's a brand called Greenmax, and made in Taiwan. I must be a philistine as well (my tea ceremony teacher would be horrified), because it's delicious.
you can find it at teavana in malls or at teavana.com in the usa.

Williams Publishes in Journal of the Lepidopterists' Society
Ernest Williams, the William R. Kenan Professor of Biology, published an article titled "Population Loss and Gain in the Rare Butterfly Euphydryas gillettii (Nymphalidae)" in Journal of the Lepidopterists' Society (66:147-155). This study revealed some of the effects of climate change on living organisms.
For this study, Williams repeated a survey he had done in the 1980s of all known populations of this butterfly. Twenty-five years later, he found that seven of the 14 populations had died out, all because of changes in the vegetation at the sites.
At one site, forest succession had filled in a formerly open meadow, and the habitat no longer provided the resources the butterfly needs. But the vegetation at the other six sites had changed because the habitat had dried out from warming associated with climate change; these six sites occurred with a combination of low latitude and low altitude. In addition to these population losses, a single new population had colonized a high elevation moist site. The results add to our understanding of the biological effects of climate change.
