With Lego pieces strewn across tables and piled in buckets, children grabbing for reds or blues and digging through piles for coveted wheels, it looks as though it's absolute chaos in a small church classroom.
But really, children with autism, Sensory Processing Disorder or ADHD are learning how to interact with one another, practice patience and master conflict resolution, all while creating their own Lego masterpieces.
Some children are there just to make friends and learn social skills, not realizing they're practicing tolerance, only that they're having fun playing with an endless amount of Lego pieces.
But they're actually participating in the Effingham Lego Social Club, which began in September by Effingham resident Patty Hooper, whose 8-year-old son, Danny, has high-functioning autism with his biggest weakness being social skills. Patty and her husband, Bil, were traveling to and from Charleston for Danny to participate in a social skills group through The Autism Program of Illinois.
But because the couple had worked with their son on recognizing facial expressions and understanding what others are feeling, Danny needed a club that was more advanced where he could interact with other children more. In addition, the drive became a hassle and Patty knew there were children in the area who could benefit from a local club, so she decided to start her own.
After a friend told her about Lego therapy, Patty researched and found Lego-based social developmental therapy through the Center for Neurological and Neurodevelopmental Health in New Jersey. The drawback was the expense for training, which totaled about $975.
Patty and Bil applied for a Pepsi Refresh grant funding last May and received $5,000. After paying for training, the remaining monies went toward supplies -- boxes upon boxes of Lego sets -- plus card tables, a laminator and laminating sheets for Lego set instructions since they are used often.
Since fall, approximately eight children ranging in ages from 5 to 14 meet the second and fourth Friday evening of the month. They don't just hang out and play with Legos, though.
In the first phase of the evening, the children work in groups of two to three and decide what Lego set to construct. Each child gets a responsibility, such as gathering the correct pieces or snapping them together. Because they have a time limit, the children have to learn how to compromise and come to a consensus quickly so they have more time to construct their set.
The structure helps them learn patience, rules and conflict resolution. Volunteers watch over the groups to make sure no one child is taking over, but volunteers also walk the fine line between leading and lecturing. In addition, the children regulate the groups themselves, deciding who needs a timeout if tempers flare.
The second phase of the night involves free build, or letting the children break out of their groups and build whatever they wish. However, because the club focuses on social skills and interaction, they must always be playing side by side, even if it means asking someone to hand them a Lego piece.
"It's less structured and there's a little more conflict, but they use their imagination and build what they want," Bil said while sifting through an ice cream bucket full of black Lego pieces for wheels and piecing together a green dinosaur at the same time.
The Legos are sorted by color so the children can find what they need more easily, and as any dedicated Lego builder knows, the perfect piece makes all the difference.
Effingham resident Joy Rubin brings her son, 9-year-old Isaiah, and her daughter, 8-year-old Ariel, to Lego club, even though her children haven't been diagnosed with a disorder. Isaiah tried sports, she said, but didn't seem interested. Legos are his thing, and Ariel just likes to be around people. Rubin thought it was the perfect opportunity to improve her son's social skills and teach her daughter tolerance, while doing something they both enjoy.
"It's Lego week, it's Lego week!" Rubin said her children will chant when the week rolls around. With the holidays approaching, now all they want is Legos under the Christmas tree, she said.
Because some of the children have sensory problems, little things like the buzz from a fluorescent light or speaking too loudly to them can frustrate the children, causing them to cover their ears and cry or scream. Not only is it a problem at home, it's an even bigger problem at school.
But in a small room full of energetic children ranging in ages, they have become more accustomed to noise, even handling it better in the classroom.
The safe, nonjudgmental environment could be a contributing factor to the advancements, as well as the consistent one-on-one time with peers during Lego club. It's hard for the children to make friends because some classmates don't understand or know how to deal with disability, so interaction at school can become limited.
During free-build, volunteers are always reminding children to interact and play with one another because some of the children are so used to playing independently. Because social skills are limited, some children seem unsure what it means to play side by side.
Parents bring their children to Effingham all the way from Casey or Salem, commenting that they can visibly see changes in their child, even getting reports from teachers of positive changes.
In January, Patty will begin another round of Lego club after the holidays. Dues are $50, but scholarships are available for those in need. The biggest thing she needs is adult volunteers, as there should be one volunteer per three children.
Spots are still open for children to be in the club, but if there aren't enough volunteers, children might be turned away. Patty is also beginning a teen Lego club, and a children's Lego club in Mattoon is also on the agenda.
In Effingham, the children's club meets at 6:30 p.m. on the second and fourth Fridays of the month at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, 905 Holly Drive, west of Evergreen Hollow Park. The teen club will meet at 6:30 p.m. on the first and third Wednesdays of the month at New Hope Church, 2210 N. Raney St., across from Menard's. Children must be registered before the club meets.
For more information on the clubs or volunteering opportunities, contact Patty at 217-347-3785, e-mail email@example.com or like Effingham Lego Social Club on Facebook.

The public sector has a long and storied history of spurring energy research, technology development and commercialization. Virtually every energy segment owes a significant amount of its success and/or potential to government investment and public-private partnerships. These energy segments cover the gamut over the last 100 years or more – oil, coal, clean coal, natural gas, nuclear, wind, solar, hydro, biomass, fuel cells, combined heat and power (cogeneration), and so on. The federal government has used a wide variety of tools to promote energy advancement. Tax credits and Department of Energy grants get a lot of the attention these days. But that's just one facet – the government has its own research programs (led by agencies such as Advanced Research Projects Agency–Energy (ARPA-E) and NASA), and also funds a variety of university and private sector research and commercialization activities. As one of the world's largest users of energy, the U.S. government heavily influences the marketplace by the types of energy it chooses to use. The military, for example, is moving aggressively toward renewable and more portable forms of energy. Several speakers at last week's Sustainable Cleveland 2019 Summit noted these realities. Approximately half of the summit was devoted to advanced and renewable energy, and 2013 has been dubbed the "Celebration Year for Advanced & Renewable Energy" by Sustainable Cleveland 2019 Summit organizers. Furthermore, many state governments are having a big impact with policies such as Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS), which set requirements for the percentage of electricity from renewable sources such as wind, solar, biomass, etc. The RPS standard in Ohio, for example, establishes a 25 percent requirement for advanced energy resources by 2025. In the current economic and political environment, a heated debate is brewing about the role of government in energy research, commercialization and deployment. Should the government continue to invest in certain technologies? Is the free market capable of sorting out the viable technologies from the "pie in the sky" ideas? If government does have a role to play, how many sources can it, and its taxpayers, support effectively? And one of the biggest issues of our time: With the shale gas boom, and the price of natural gas so cheap (less than $3.00 per million btu's), should we continue to make significant investments in advanced and renewable forms of energy? The answer, ironically, may be found in the shale gas experience itself, dating back to the 1970s. The Eastern Gas Shales Project, an initiative of the federal Energy Research and Development Administration, began in 1976 and included dozens of government-funded demonstration projects. The Department of Energy pioneered hydraulic fracturing in tight sandstone formations in 1977. In 1980, Congress created the production tax credit for unconventional gas, which stayed in effect for 22 years, while companies such as Mitchell Energy & Development Corp. (later acquired by Devon Energy) and Union Pacific Resources (now part of Anadarko Petroleum Corporation) developed hydraulic fracturing techniques with the help of government research, public-private partnerships, grants and tax credits. The headline of a September 23, 2012 Associated Press story by Kevin Begos summarizes the situation this way: "Decades of Federal Dollars Helped Fuel Gas Boom." According to the article, "Over three decades, from the shale fields of Texas and Wyoming to the Marcellus in the Northeast, the federal government contributed more than $100 million in research to develop fracking, and billions more in tax breaks. Now, those industry pioneers say their own effort shows that the government should back research into future sources of energy – for decades, if need be – to promote breakthroughs. For all its success now, many people in the oil and gas industry itself once thought shale gas was a waste of time." My view is that government continues to serve an essential function in supporting the research, development and commercialization of advanced energy. It should be a nonpartisan issue, even though there will be legitimate, lively debate about the "how" and "how much." Of course, the goal is that these new energy technologies become competitive with traditional sources. But, for emerging advanced energy sources, that time is not now. In fact, it may not happen at all if public-sector support for such technologies falls off at the very time that the most significant progress is being made.

There was an audible sigh of relief in the Springs School gym Monday night when the school board unanimously adopted its proposed $24.8 million district budget for the 2011-12 school year.
The budget hearing will be held at 7 p.m. on May 9 and the budget will go to a public vote on May 17.
The proposed budget will carry a tax-rate increase of 5.8 percent, or about $289 in additional taxes for a homeowner with a house assessed at $6,000.
During a budget work session earlier that night, Ken Hamilton, the district's treasurer, had shown last year's tax card and explained that in 2010-11, the budget had gone on the books as about $22.5 million, when in fact, by the time the school year started, the budget had increased by $862,000 to almost $23.36 million, due to more high school students than anticipated and an extra kindergarten class.
"However," Mr. Hamilton said, "the tax card you receive will compare this year's budget to the first [adopted] budget, not the one that passed. So what in reality is a budget-to-budget increase of 6.39 percent will look like it's 10.47 percent. It isn't," he said.
If the budget passes as is, then the Springs School will not have to cut any of its programs or staff, and in fact will be able to afford a new gym roof at $150,000 to replace the one that's leaking, and a new school bus at $103,000.
However, if the budget is voted down and the school is forced to turn to a contingency budget, there would be a tax increase of 4.3 percent, or about $215 for a house assessed at $6,000. The district would be forced to cut $827,655 out of the budget as it stands now.
"First thing to go would be the capital improvements and equipment," said Mr. Hamilton, but it was clear that even with those removed from the budget, there would still need to be almost half a million dollars in additional cuts to achieve the lower figure.
"Back to the worst-case scenario," said Thomas Talmage, a school board member. Earlier in the budget process, before the district reached a high school tuition agreement with the East Hampton Hampton School District that brought significant savings as well as reimbursements for past overpayments to Springs and other sending districts, Springs had been considering cutting staff, increasing kindergarten class sizes, and reconfiguring the seventh and eighth-grade day. The tuition agreement allowed the district to avoid those cuts while still putting forward a single-digit tax increase.
If the budget is voted down and cuts need to be examined again, public input would be sought, the board told the audience on Monday.
"The difference between the proposed 5.8-percent tax increase and a 4.3-percent contingency budget tax increase is about $74 a year, or $1.42 a week. That's the price of a cup of coffee a week," said Mr. Hamilton.
While parents may be relieved at the budget the board is proposing, some in the district are already organizing in opposition to it. A group called the Springs Homeowners Alliance has mounted an Internet campaign urging people to vote down the 2011-12 budget. "We are questioning why $4 million in potential reductions to the budget were dropped from consideration," the group wrote on its Web site, springshomeownersalliance.com.
In other news from Monday's meeting, the board president, Christopher Kelley, announced that he will leave the board when his term ends on June 30. "It's time. I've served 12 of the last 13 years. I urge any of you who feel an urge to go for it and share your talents with us." Mr. Kelley received a standing ovation from the crowd, as did Ken Hamilton, who is retiring after serving the district as treasurer for the past 16 years.
Monday is the last day for possible school board candidates to get their nominating petitions to the district clerk's office. The deadline is 5 p.m.
School board elections are the same day as the budget vote. Springs residents who are not yet registered to vote have until May 12 to do so. To be eligible, the Springs district must have been their primary residence for 30 days prior to the election and they may not be registered to vote in any other voting district. Registration may be done in person at at the district clerk's office on any business day.

Hubble Catches Scattered Light from the Boomerang Nebula
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope caught the Boomerang Nebula in images taken with the Advanced Camera for Surveys in early 2005. This reflecting cloud of dust and gas has two nearly symmetric lobes of matter that are being ejected from a central star. Each lobe of the nebula is nearly one light-year in length, making the total length of the nebula half as long as the distance from our Sun to our nearest neighbors- the Alpha Centauri stellar system, located roughly 4 light-years away. The Boomerang Nebula resides 5,000 light-years from Earth. Hubble's sharp view is able to resolve patterns and ripples in the nebula very close to the central star that are not visible from the ground.

A Guest Post by Kaspars Grinvalds from Posing App.
In the previous articles in this posing guide series we looked individually at posing female subjects, posing male subjects and posing children (there are links to the full series of posing guides below). In those individual person portraits the main subject was a single person and her or his personality. In comparison, couple photography is more about connection, interaction and above all – feelings between two people. And most probably those are very deep and passionate feelings, which makes couple photography so delightful and positive.
Generally a couple should be easy to engage in a photo shoot. If they are initially a bit shy or feeling uncomfortable, just ask them to show you how they felt and looked when they met for the first time. You will invoke them on an emotional level, providing you with natural and loving expressions in their portraits
1. Easy starting pose standing face to face (but looking to the camera) and her holding an arm on his chest. Take both close-up as well as vertical shots.
2. Ask the couple to stand very close to each other to catch intimate close-up portraits. Don't be afraid to zoom in and crop real tight!
3. Very easy and cordial pose with him holding her from behind. The couple may look straight into the camera or at each other. They might even kiss for a more emotive shot.
4. Fun and loving pose with her holding onto his back and shoulders. Pay attention to hand positioning: It should be simple and natural.
5. Just a variant with her holding him from behind. Remember that the couple doesn't necessarily have to look in the camera. For better results, make them interact with each other by talking, flirtatious looks, laughing etc.
6. Creates a very romantic mood. Works best outdoors with some open space in the background. Shoot only slightly from a back. Remember that you have to be far enough to the couples side to be able to capture each person's closest eye, otherwise you will create an impersonal, "empty" shot.
7. Find some elevation and shoot your subjects from above. A common pose shot from an unusual angle is always creative and will often reward you with surprisingly good results.
8. Another romantic pose. Works best outdoors with some open space in the background. Works also very well as a silhouette against a bright background, in front of a sunset, for example.
9. Easy to realize pose for a full height shot. Creates a calm and affectionate mood.
10. A fun pose. Don't presume this to be appropriate only with younger people. If an older couple feels fine with it, this pose will work absolutely superb with them as well. Try different framings, take full height shots, half height ones and close-ups.
11. Very nice way to show the affection when meeting each other. Works very well in crowded places, such as a famous meeting point in a city, trains or metro stations etc.
12. A pose with a little bit of fun. The crucial part is her leg positioning, each leg should be bent in different angles. While he is still lifting her, take a close-up portrait shot as well.
13. Take shots of the couple walking hand in hand approaching from a distance. Shoot in burst mode only! However, the majority of your shots will look awkward because of the leg movement. Therefore, the second part of your job is to select the photos with the best leg movement and positioning afterwards.
14. Another variant with a walking couple. This time couple walks close together and holds onto each other. Again, take several shots and choose those with the most elegant leg positioning.
15. Never forget that there often are good opportunities simply shooting from the back.
16. A couple lying close together on the ground. Make them lift their upper bodies a bit by using their arms as supports. He might embrace her gently. Shoot from a very low angle.
17. Another variant with a couple lying on the ground. This time with a little interspace.
18. A good example to show that two persons can very well be positioned asymmetrically.
19. Informal and fun way to pose for a couple lying on their backs.
20. A cordial pose, ask the couple to sit comfortably on their favorite sofa.
21. Sometimes shooting a couple may mean maternity photography. Some poses from this couples series work also pretty well for such an occasion. Simply adjust a posing accordingly to show the couple's feelings about and interactions with the unborn new life.
Here's 16 of our favorites for you to print and take with you on your next couple shoot:
Allow me to repeat the previously stated – look at these sample poses as a starting point only. That's the reason why they are rough sketches instead of real photos. You can't and should not repeat the pose exactly, instead adjust the pose creatively according to your shooting environment and scenario.

But I'm still alone :')
More dreary heterosexual posing. How about the reset of the human species?
How about a self posing guide for those of us who would like to try self portraits?
Plus you can be inventive and create your own shots to reflect your couple's characters.
Check out this website! http://gogetfunding.com/project/help-pay-for-our-wedding-3
Excellent post. Very easy to understand well done !
Its really simple to understand and I think we all can get more poses from these. Great article and big help! Thanks.
A man is ant there always will be a man, and a woman is and will be a woman. No matter how much he/she will try to pretend the opposite. IMHO, other advises regarding homosexuality problems should be beyond the scope of this site.
This is wonderful but lets say your couple is a same-sex couple. How could you make some of these poses more famine or masculine?
Excellent starting point for beginners. Bear in mind these are basic poses which can have several variants, so it's good to experiment with this as a start, and develop your own from there. Once you've mastered the posing, the next step would be to look at portrait lighting techniques.
It's nice to find poses on the web. It is a big deal for me, thank you very much
Absolutely wonderful starting points for new players or people needing a refresh. Thanks for your contributions, they really help this vast photographic community.
I would love to get this app on my imac! I don't have an ipad or iphone. I would love to see poses for weddings too... and mums/dads/sibblings with babies
@ccting: If you have Microsoft One Note, you can copy and paste almost anything to it. You can make folders for different categories and place posts like this in them. Printing these posts is very easy to do. You can then take your copy with you on a shoot for ideas.
Great series of examples and good to show to the couple before the shoot.
These are great posing diagrams. I'd like to get some ideas of how to pose couples when there's a big height differential. I photographed a couple on the weekend where he was 6'1" and she was 5'4". Those nine inches make some of the above poses unworkable.
I am quite dissapointed that this app only support iPad and Android, how about the desktop Microsoft windows?? I have just lost my Android.. Please enable support for Microsoft OS.. I wish to see the wedding pose..
This is a great example of different poses to consider and is quite a timely post because my new girlfriend and I tried taking some couples shots for the first time and they turned out quite awkward.
I am a beginner photographer and these are great. Love the sketches without all the distracting background of "real" pictures, whoever complained about them should understand that photography is an art form and so the sketches were just fine.
Although someone mentioned the poses seem "old", I have gone on tons of shoots with my best friend (the reason I'm getting into photography) and people LOVE these poses and shots.
One girl even brought a while wedding album of her mother and father and wanted the same type of shots.
Great article and love the line drawings too, this must be the third or forth I'vce seen in this series :)
These posing guides are EXCELLENT! A great help... please keep up the good articles!!!
This is a useful set of posing suggestions, even for rank amateurs. I think these poses will make our family snapshots look more professional.
I liked so much this series that I ended up buying the app at Google Play Store (my first paid app, I have to say). That's an invaluable tool for someone like me, who is just starting as a portrait photographer. Thanks :-)
Hi there, thanks for all kind words, really appreciate it!
And @kat - the app is available for Android, please follow the direct link:
These look like standard engagement shots, very common and used for many, many years, and many of the poses are not very flattering (back angles for head and neck for example, emphasize things like double chins on couples)…I was hoping to find a list of unique poses that are more playful or at least flattering.
Many times when photographing the wedding and I was not really a day I used this kind of inspirational stories. Here I found some new that you will use. Thanks for the article!
This posing series has been absolutely wonderful for a novice photographer as myself. It's given me a starting point to improve my portrait photography and actually get some professional-looking shots. Your sketches are great and encourage each photographer's creativity in using them. (Now I just need to talk one of the kids out of an old iPod so that I can get your app!) Thanks for sharing your work!
Love the 4 articles you have written on posing and this time thought I'd look at purchasing the App, but it's only available for iphone users :( where is the Android version? Would love to see one :D
tips and sketches are amazing once again, thanks so much for sharing!
Desperate to get some similar app on windows phone 7. Even thought about developing one myself but you have to pay Microsoft £100 for a developer account to submit apps. Would be so useful when out even if you know the pose its a handy reference point and can show the model. I often forget my favourite poses when in the field faced with do many things to remember.
I'm really loving all of these samples.... nice work! And some great tips too!
This is a great posing guide. I have a TON of books about posing, but the subjects allways seem to be your fashion model/Hollywood types and of course the scenery is absolutely heavenly. This gets in the way when you are at a simple wedding trying to pose couples. Thank you very much I will definately be printing this out.
Great article! I really was needing some tips on posing. I think all to often we, as photographers, get caught up worrying about lighting and composition and forget the simplicity of a natural, beautiful pose.
Thank you very much!
This is awesome! Thanks man. I have been waiting for this one. I used the one for posing kids and I got some pretty good shots. I think you should take all of your poses and make them into an app. Give all of the ones you have so far our for free and add a bunch extra for ,let's say, 5 bucks ($4.99). It would do well because it's from you guys! Look in to the other apps for posing. They are crappy. contact me for more info :)
These are fabulous! This whole series - poses for women, men, children, and now couples - has been fantastic and so helpful!
What I would love to see now are poses for elderly people. My mother is 83 years old and I want to do a series of photos of her for my family members. Are there any suggestions for poses? I have searched on line and have come up pretty much empty...
Thank you.
Simple and compact. This is basic poses that great to start with and later reproduce other creative pose based on location and situation. Thanks for sharing :)
These are really a nice reference.
Thank you so much for posting this! Last evening I was just about to arrange a meeting with a future couple (for a wedding) and practice the Male/Female posing examples. Now I have this 'cheatsheet' which is so useful. I agree that natural and 'unposed' photos are so great, but I think this stage of posed should be learned very well before mastering skills in a very professional manner. Thank you so much
The only thing I ever managed to click in pairs was these Jungle Babblers!
I love your guide!! Going get the app now...hope to see seniors and weddings soon.
Catching people when they do not expect it can produce a natural pose and have emotion:
I was hoping you would continue with this series and include couples. I am planning an engagement shoot for a couple of my friends and this will come in handy.
Love the 'posing' series, but was wondering why you use sketches as opposed to actual photographs? Just seems odd for a photography website. Still very helpful though!
This series of posts is great! Keep on!
I bought a second hand iPod Touch just so I could use this app.
It's handy for when you get stuck or run out of ideas (or are starting out), and you can use it to show clients/models/whatever what you want them to do.
I bought the app last week and will be referencing it this weekend, thanks for sharing!
OMG, OMG, Kaspars Grinvalds Thanks thanks thanks thanks very very very very very very much much much... I can't thanks anymore..
This is great. Thanks for posting this.
wow, this is interesting
everytime they show the couples near the tree
this is enlightening
Once again, thanks for the posing articles.
You should do a wedding one next. http://disney-photography-blog.com/

XCOM: Enemy Within Trailer: Security Breach
One year ago, XCOM: Enemy Unknown revitalized a long-dormant franchise for a whole new generation. This year, XCOM: Enemy Within adds a host of new content and missions to the original.
More than just a bit of downloadable content, XCOM: Enemy Within is a massive expansion to Enemy Unknown. While you will be able to download it on the PC, the only way you'll be able to play on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 is by buying the disc-based Commander Edition, which comes with the original Enemy Unknown, too. At least it'll only be $39.99 for consoles ($29.99 on PC).
The trailer above shows off a bit more of what to expect from the new content, including our first look at EXALT. The group is a rogue organization trying to undermine XCOM, and use the alien technologies for their own advantage. XCOM: Enemy Within is due out on Nov. 12.

Kennedy High-Richmond's Kenneth Walker III had plenty of options for continuing his football career. None of them could beat what Cal had to offer.
The speedy 6-foot, 175-pound wide receiver gave his oral commitment Friday morning to Bears coach Jeff Tedford, choosing Cal over Boise State, Washington and UCLA among others.
"It's close to home and I like the business management program," Walker said. "That what I want to major in."
Walker had more than a dozen scholarship offers, including six from the Pac-12. Arizona State, Colorado and Washington State were among those that offered Walker, as well as San Jose State, Colorado State, New Mexico and UTEP, according to ESPN.
"It was a hard decision, but I feel like I made the right one," Walker said.
He hopes his success can serve as a motivator to some of his Kennedy teammates.
"I'm kind of a mentor to some teammates," Walker said. "I'm helping a few kids out, staying on task and doing big things."
Walker was a first-team All-Bay Shore Athletic League utility player last season for Kennedy. He spent his freshman and sophomore years at Freedom and was a second-team All-Bay Valley Athletic League utility pick in 2009.
Walker has also starred on the track. He's reached the California Interscholastic Federation state track and field championships three straight years in the 110-meter hurdles, placing sixth the past two years. He finished one spot ahead of De La Salle's Michael Barton, also a Cal football commit and a former Pop Warner teammate, this past June. He said he would consider running track at Cal if the football coaching staff approved.
Walker has thought about attempting to graduate early to enroll at Cal in the spring, but said he wants another shot at the state track championships.
"I need to get in the top three," he said.
Over the summer, Walker participated in Nike's The Opening camp at the Nike headquarters in Beaverton, Ore., and the B2G Elite Camp at UCLA. He is expected to play a big role this season for Kennedy's football team, which hopes to contend in the BSAL.
"We're going to get the ball in his hands as much as teams let us," said Eagles coach Mack Carminer, who expects Walker to line up at wide receiver, running back, defensive back and kick returner.

mazzynyc necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 97 diseños de 26 diseñadores freelance.
Maslov Jewels
A family owned jewelry company from South Africa opening aq start up in New York specializing in tanzanite, diamond, pearl jewelry under a totally new brand and marketing. The gemstones will be set in white gold, yellow gold and platinum.
The company is focused on affordable high end jewelry with very heavy marketing in authenticity and quality of workmanship.
Jewelry will be predominantly sold through word of mouth, catalogue and website. It is important for the logo to give a purchaser confidence.
Market is specifically focused on young, middle aged and older women. Generally the woman gets the husband, boyfriend etc to buy them very cool gifts.
There will also be a very nice range for young girls.
Again, the logo and marketing must give an air of exclusivity and confidence, trust, etc.
The most important theme is that the logo be simple, elegant and trustworthy. Selling higher end jewelry is all about trust.
I've uploaded some photos of what tanzanite looks like.
You are welcome to try experiment with a theme around gemstone/s or potentially metal although this is not imperative because most of the exclusive jewelry companies have very plain logos. That being said, I'm not looking to replicate but rather be innovative/clever.
Concerning certain things I've had in mind, I think playing with the "o" of maslov with a round cut stone being looked from the top or maybe the "v" for a stone being looked at the side.
It would be cool to have almost a logo for every theme of jewelry, for example the "o" to look like a tanzanite for the tanzanite jewels catalogue, or the "o" to look like a diamond for the daimond jewels ctalogue, or the "o" to look like a emerald for the emerald jewels catalogue etc.
The logo must be on a white background so it's important that it stand out.
The color theme for the marketing will most like be hues of violet, purple, blue and grey. The jewelry pictures will be floating on a white background and the color scheme will be complimentary as opposed to over whelming.
Good luck and have fun!!

What is up ladies? Are you looking for that perfect sexy tattoo design that has some sex appeal? Maybe you are looking for a sexy place for that tattoo and do not want to do the normal "tramp stamp" on the lower back. Good looking and sexy tattoo designs can be easy to find but first lets point out some of the best places for new ink.
The Hot Spots
Now I am a man and my wife has several tattoos so let me be the first to tell you where most if not all men think a tattoo looks sexy! Here are a the most recognized places for a sexy tattoo design:
Back of Neck: This gets me and my buddy's wild. When a women goes to lift up her hair for any reason and a tattoo is present.....this is great to see. For some reason, a tattoo and the bottom of women's neck is just sexy. Do not confuse the neck with a tattoo that is clear view like the side of the neck. That looks trashy! Surveys show that most men think that the neck is a very sexy part of the women' body. Enough said!
Upper Back: Just a few inches lower than the back of the neck. A sexy tattoo design here also turns on a lot of men. You want to be careful of placement however. I was at a wedding and the bridesmaid had a tattoo there and was not covered up. That was not so hot but most tats can be covered up with special skin cream for formal affairs. This is a great place if you want something a bit larger.
Hips/Pelvis: Yes, we all know this area is sexy. Getting a tattoo just below your belly but about 2-3 inches off from the center of the belly button is very hot. My wife has one here and it turns me on every time I see it. The hips are also a great place. If you leave it stick up just above the waist line and wear a low cut shirt in summer...you will defiantly turn some heads....in the good way.
Ankles: Any sexy tattoo design on the ankle or the top of the foot is hot. The only down side is again with the formal affairs. Nobody wants to see a 45 year old with a faded tattoo on her foot at a Christmas Party or Wedding. Skin creams and tattoo cover up cream can be applied to distract from the ink however.
Wrist: Very hot but would not recommend. Our receptionist at work has one hear and it is not very flattering when we have high priced clients come in. If you work at a bar or a factory where this is not a problem...go for it. If you have a professional job I would steer clear.
Thigh: Sexy tattoo designs here are great. Nothing gets a guy turned on when you have to lift up your shorts a bit to show off your new art. Most clothing will cover this up so no need to worry. When a swim suit is worn you better watch out for a busy night of guys flirting with you!
Side: My 3rd most favorite spot but watch out! Ouch! I have a tattoo here of my friend who had passed on. We always said we would be at each other's side so what better place to have a picture of him. This hurt and gave me tears but every person I have ever met who seen this gave my nothing but great compliments!

Metro Power is owned by the Iqbal Alimohamed family and InfraCo Asia Keenjhar Wind. The two owners will provide 22.5% of the project cost.
The Iqbal Alimohammed family is heavily involved in the country's wind energy sector — Danish Iqbal Alimohamed is currently president of the Pakistan Wind Energy Association and CEO of Metro Power.
The IFC says the investment is part of wider efforts in Pakistan to focus on mobilising investments in infrastructure, expanding access to smaller businesses and boosting job creation. The IFC committed $514 million to Pakistan in the 2013 fiscal year.
Last year, Pakistan added 50MW of installed capacity, taking its total to 106MW.

"I also found colleagues and friends who challenged each other to succeed and to leave the Law College in even better shape than when we arrived," he said.

The Indian Health Service (IHS), an agency within the Department of Health and Human Services, is responsible for providing federal health services to American Indians and Alaska Natives. The provision of health services to members of federally-recognized tribes grew out of the special government-to-government relationship between the federal government and Indian tribes. This relationship, established in 1787, is based on Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution, and has been given form and substance by numerous treaties, laws, Supreme Court decisions, and Executive Orders. The IHS is the principal federal health care provider and health advocate for Indian people, and its goal is to raise their health status to the highest possible level. The IHS provides a comprehensive health service delivery system for approximately 2 million American Indians and Alaska Natives who belong to 566 federally recognized tribes in 35 states. Health services provided include medical, dental, and environmental health programs. Special program concentrations are in disease prevention and health promotion, alcoholism, substance abuse, suicide, accidents, maternal and child health, nutrition, and public health services.

The Week That Was
UC Santa Barbara finished up a three game series against the Cal Poly Mustangs, and managed to take one of the three games. The Gauchos took the opener on Friday, 11-8 on a game winning three run home run by Dave Molidor. Redshirt freshman Jim Bullard earned the win in relief to improve his record to 3-1. Saturday, the Mustangs defeated the Gauchos 12-11 and came back Sunday for the rubber match to defeat the Gauchos again 9-8. Bullard came in relief on Saturday to take the loss and Jeremy Sugarman started in Sunday's game and took the loss to drop to 2-3 on the season.
Bannon Making Strides To Help Gaucho Offense
Jeff Bannon came into the season with a lot of promise. Thus far, he has struggled at the plate, trying to make adjustments in his swing. Bannon may have found what he was looking for. Going into last week, Bannon was batting a meager .213. By Sunday, Bannon had improved his average 28 points to .241, his high-water of the season. Bannon was 0-for-3 against UCLA, but came back on Friday with a 4-for-4 day with two RBI and three runs scored including a home run. Bannon followed up that performance going 1-for-3 on Saturday and 2-for-4 on Sunday, including his seventh home run on the season. Bannon's seven home runs leads the Gauchos.
The Bottom Tier Of The Big West
The Gauchos find themselves in the lower echelon of the Big West, not only in the standings, but also in the offensive and pitching categories. With a record of 8-7 in conference, the Gauchos are tied with Nevada for fifth place. Long Beach comes in with a record of 13-5, followed by Cal State Fullerton with a record 11-4. Sacramento State is third with a 10-5 record, and Cal Poly, after taking 2-of-3 from the Gauchos, reside in fourth place. The only two teams below the Gauchos are Pacific (2-13) and New Mexico State (1-14). The Gauchos currently rank sixth in batting with a team average of .294. The Gauchos fell one spot to seventh in pitching with a 6.65 ERA.
Molidor Shining In The Big West
Junior Dave Molidor is definitely turning heads in the Big West. Molidor is currently fourth in the Big West in batting with a .391 average. He is also among the league leaders in slugging percentage (.602), on-base percentage (.484), RBI (40) and doubles (14).
The 49er Report
Long Beach State is 25-13 overall and 13-5 in the Big West Conference. They took two of three from Cal State Fullerton last weekend which catapulted them into first place in the Big West. The 49ers took game one on Friday after coming back from a two run deficit in the eighth to defeat Fullerton 7-4. Saturday, the 49ers were bested by Fullerton 5-1, but came back to take Sunday's game 15-8.
Injury Front
The injury report is far from all quiet. Pitcher Chris Quiroz is out for the season with shoulder troubles as is Jared Schumaker out for the season with a dislocated shoulder. Chris Crawley and Dan Kemper also have shoulder problems and could be out for an extended period of time. Ryan Spiborghs' status has been changed to out for the season as he was fitted for a cast last week on his right arm.
On The Horizon
The schedule does not get any easier for the Gauchos after they complete the weekend series against Long Beach State. The Gauchos will host USC on Tuesday (the game was originally scheduled for Los Angeles, but due to wet conditions in March, the Gauchos traveled to Los Angeles to play there then) and then travel south for a three game, Big West series against the Cal State Fullerton Titans, currently 11-4 in the Big West.

The King James Bible: Its History and Influence
Recommended Reading
The exhibition The King James Bible: Its History and Influence tells the little-known story of one of the most widely read and printed books in the history of the English language. Visit the exhibition to learn more about how, 400 years after its first printing, the King James translation of the Bible remains a vital work whose language permeates contemporary music, literature, and everyday speech.
These recommended books trace the history of the influence of this translation.
Bible, The Story of the King James Version by Gordon Campbell
Campbell provides a concise, readable history of both the translation and reception of the King James Version.
Dred: A Tale of the Great Dismal Swamp by Harriet Beecher Stowe
Stowe's lesser-known novel, Dred, addressed criticism of her characterization of Uncle Tom in Uncle Tom's Cabin. The title character is a runaway slave who preaches violence and vengeance. The reading and interpretation of the Bible, and its bearing on American slavery, is a fundamental issue in Dred. Stowe's characters reference the King James version throughout the novel, with women most frequently quoting the New Testament and men the Old Testament.
God Knows by Joseph Heller
Heller, best known for his novel Catch-22, offers readers a glimpse of the life of King David, a man very much concerned with his biblical legacy and aggrieved that some of his best lines have been attributed to his son Solomon. Of Solomon, David writes, "I'll let you in on a secret... he was dead serious when he proposed cutting the baby in half."
God's Trombones by James Weldon Johnson
Johnson's "seven Negro sermons in verse" originally appeared with stunning illustrations by Aaron Douglas. Johnson explained that the ministers whose voices he tried to capture were "saturated with the sublime phraseology of the Hebrew prophets and steeped in the idioms of King James English."
J. B. by Archibald MacLeish
MacLeish won both a Pultizer and a Tony for this play in verse. He created a play within in a play as two circus vendors assume the roles of God and Satan in a Job-like story. The vendors, Nickles and Mr. Zuss, speak in the words of the King James version when in character.
Begat: The King James Bible and the English Language by David Crystal
Crystal's book traces the influence of the King James translation on everyday speech from phrases like "let there be light" to "out of the mouth of babes."

What happens when you combine the monster massacre that is Hunter: The Reckoning with the bullet-counting, fear-stricken insanity of Day Z, and then stir them together in the cauldron of Left 4 Dead? Well, I presume you'd end up with something like Crytek's HUNT: Horrors of the Gilded age, an apparently free to play experience coming to consoles and PC.
Says David Adams, CEO of Crytek USA, "…players will be counting their bullets and crying out for help as they delve deeper into the shadowy world we've created. From the outset of the development process, we've poured our imaginations into the game so that everyone who plays HUNT will discover a challenging experience that feels fresh, captivating and rich in possibilities."
Crytek USA is comprised of former Vigil Studios personnel, who previously brought us Darksiders. As far as I'm concerned, you can have your Evolve. I'll be jumping on the HUNT wagon.

GROWING up in Oxford as the albino son of a Pakistani couple was hard for Imran Zeb. But he now believes it was part of God's plan to make him a Chinese rap artist. Debbie Waite reports...
Imran Zeb was born at the John Radcliffe on June 16, 1979, to the complete shock of his Asian parents Aurang and Zaiton, who suddenly had a 'white' baby.
Now 33, he said: "Mum and Dad never talked about it much, but it must have been pretty stressful for them.
"They were obviously in shock about having this 'white' baby to go with their two older, darker-skinned children."
Just one in 17,000 people in the UK are born with albinism each year.
Imran said: "I was part of a family and a Muslim community where everyone had dark skin, apart from me.
"Infant school wasn't too bad. Kids at that age don't tend to make snap decisions about people, but near the end I started to feel the beginnings of isolation."
Not only did Imran have white skin and pale hair, his condition meant his eyeballs shook and he had to wear thick, corrective glasses.
"Not great for a schoolkid!" he joked. "At secondary school I had no real friends and definitely no girlfriends."
Imran, who went to Oxford School for Boys, loved rap and hip-hop music.
He said: "I did well in my GCSEs, stayed on for A-Levels – but still no girlfriends!
"I also discovered Brother Ali, an albino, Asian rapper living in the US and started to write my own rhymes on the back of my books."
He went on to study History at London's Brunel University.
Then in 2005 he visited China – and was smitten.
He said: "I loved the anonymity and all the possibilities."
After a spell working for the NHS as a clerk in Oxford, he told his parents he was moving to Shanghai, to teach English.
He said: "They were worried about how I would cope. But I got there, dumped my cane and magnifying glass and felt strangely at home, even though I didn't speak Chinese and no-one spoke English!"
There he met Hui Fen and they were married a year later in 2007.
He said: "I had always worried terribly about having children and them being born with albinism.
"My younger brother Kamran, 25, also went on to have it and when my first son Jalaludin Sayuti, now three, was born without it, it was such a relief."
A second son, Salahudin Ayubi, two, is also unaffected.
Since moving to Shanghai, Imran has realised his dream of becoming a hip-hop artist and, now fluent, writes and sings in Chinese.
Performing under the name Hanafi, he plays underground bars across the city.
He said: "Chinese music is heavily censored and I sing about politics and religion which is a bit of a risk, but one worth taking.
"In the next few years I want to move back to Oxford with my family and make a name for my music.
"I adore China but I miss Oxford's clean air, space and milk!
"The other day, my older son pointed at my hair and asked: 'Why is it lighter than mine?' "There will be questions and things for him to deal with growing up, because he has an albino dad. I hope like me, he'll see that everything happens for a reason."
FACTFILE Albinos have inherited altered genes that do not make the usual amounts of the pigment melanin.
This can result in pale skin which burns easily in the sun, virtually white hair, severe short-sight and a severe sensitivity to light.
For a baby to be born albino, both parents must carry the albino gene.
If so, there is a one in four chance their baby will inherit the condition.
Children born to parents who do not have the condition are often carriers.

We may have played a lot of great games in 2012, but let's not forget about one of the saddest facets of the video game industry: that even big, successful developers can be shut down at a moment's notice.
This video from IGN pays tribute to those studios and companies that, for whatever reason, had to shut their doors over the source of 2012.
Oh, and a quick note: those Sony Liverpool dates are technically incorrect. I only say that because I'm still a little scarred at the closure of the house formerly known as Psygnosis.

My swim cap is tighter-fitting; my goggles are lighter-weight; and my swimsuit is constructed of chlorine-resistant polyester.
But aside from that, not much has changed from fifty years ago, when South End Rowing Club members waded into Aquatic Park cove wearing this:
I'd argue that the only truly essential item is the goggles… but this is a family-friendly site.
Marathon swimming resists technology more than most sports, thanks to strict guidelines on swimwear enforced in the English Channel (our Everest) - guidelines which are widely emulated around the world. Indeed it's a point of pride among many marathon swimmers, who value the connection with our sport's pioneers. A level playing field across decades.
I'd even call it an aesthetic: Suit, cap, goggles. That's all we really need. Man, woman, and the sea. There is equipment that would make it easier, but we actively reject it. Our sport is tough, and we like it that way.

3G iPhone ordered by Apple?
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Broadband, Smartphones, Handhelds, Rumors,
We've all been expecting Apple to release a 3G version of the iPhone at some point during this year. It turns out, it may be coming sooner rather than later. Ken Dulaney, analyst for Gartner, is saying that he has heard from sources over in Asia that Apple has placed an order for 10 million 3G iPhones. Even more interesting is that these would be 10 million on top of the current 10 million that Apple hopes to sell of the current iPhone version in 2008. If this is true, we'd expect to hear about it within the next few months. Maybe around the time that the iPhone 2.0 firmware upgrade is released, hmm?
Dulaney also mentioned that the 3G version of the iPhone may use an OLED screen, which would result in an improvement in battery life. Hey, if Apple went with EDGE for the current iPhone due to battery issues, it would make sense that in their leap to 3G, they'd try and conserve as much battery life as possible, right?
While we won't know for sure when we will see a 3G model of the iPhone, I personally believe it is a safe bet that we will be seeing one within the next few months. The iPhone is nine months old, and while it is still a marvel, 9 months is a long time to go in the cell phone industry without seeing an upgrade. Apple also knows that 3G is a glaring omission from the current model. After all, there was a collective groan heard around the tech world when it was introduced back at MacWorld 2007 due to it's lack of 3G. Even 14 months ago it was a huge letdown. Too much time has passed since then.
Bottom line, if you are in the market for an iPhone, but aren't in the "need to have it now" mindset, you may want to wait a while.

Why is Apple stalling Flash on the iPhone?
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Smartphones, Editorial, Handhelds, Rumors, Software,
A few weeks ago, we reported that sources revealed to us that Flash on the iPhone was coming soon. At the time, we felt very strongly that the reasons we stated were sound and accurate. Then, a few days ago, Steve Jobs stated that Flash wouldn't be coming to the iPhone because it was "too slow to be useful" and that Flash Lite was "not capable of being used with the web."
So we started getting comments on our last entry, like this one, saying that we were wrong. The iPhone 1.1.4 release came and went, as did the iPhone SDK announcement. Nothing from Apple regarding Flash, until Jobs said it was a no go. So we went back to our source, who was - and still is - 100% convinced that these are just stall tactics.

Beatles music not yet on iTunes
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Apple, Corporate News, Music, Portable Audio / Video, Rumors,
Update: Turns out, Apple is saying this is an unsubstantiated rumor.
"This is not news nor is it a scoop," says an Apple Inc. spokesman, declining further comment.
In a USA Today interview, Steve Jobs said that:
It will happen — I hope by the first half of next year. As soon as they're ready, we're ready.
The original story:
Get ready to welcome Sgt. Pepper to your iPod. Sir Paul has finally reached an agreement with Apple and the iTunes store. For $400 million, they will receive the Beatles' back catalog. Proceeds will be divided between McCartney, Ringo Starr, the families of John Lennon and George Harrison, and no doubt will trickle down to Heather Mills. Michael Jackson, EMI, and Sony, who also own part of the Beatles music, will also receive stipends as part of the deal.

Toshiba Concedes to Blu-ray
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Corporate News, Editorial, HDTV, Home Entertainment, Rumors,
Toshiba has announced that it will stop using its HD DVD format. Since this company tried harder than most of the others, this undoubtedly marks the end of the disc war. The official announcement will probably be made in the next several days.
"We have entered the final stage of planning to make our exit from the next generation DVD business," said a spokesperson from Toshiba who wished to remain anonymous. The company estimates they will lose hundreds of millions of dollars because of the concession.

Flash on iPhone is just around the corner
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Smartphones, Handhelds, Rumors,
EDIT: The Skyfire browser for iPhone allows you to view Flash video directly on your iPhone.
EDIT: Here are the details on Apple and Adobe collaborating on an iPhone Flash player.
EDIT: Here is an update on the whole Flash on iPhone situation.
We've been waiting for Flash support to hit the iPhone ever since…well…it launched. We've had to make do without Flash for almost eight months, and YouTube even had to convert a bunch of their catalog to H.264 in order for the service to be enjoyed on the iPhone. Well, we've just got word from a reliable source that Flash support is on its way to the iPhone, and it should be coming very, very soon. Speculating a bit further on our own, we are guessing that it would be pretty convenient for Flash support to be introduced alongside the iPhone SDK, wouldn't you say? Now, we know that there isn't much information here, but you also know how strong our sources are too - Flash on the iPhone is coming, just take our word for it, okay?
EDIT: We already have had a couple people ask about the supposed battery and CPU issues that were holding Flash back from being included on the iPhone in the first place. From what I am hearing, it was a complete fabrication. Flash has not yet made it to the iPhone solely due to business negotiations. As we said, it is now on its way!

Disney Testing Magic Connection
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Corporate News, Rumors, Video Games,
Disney is apparently toying with the idea of a Magic Connection System in its parks. With a Nintendo DS, users can click individual areas and rides and find the waiting time. Check out restaurants by reading their menus. While this is still at the rumor stage, it is reported that people are indeed trying the program out. We think it is a fine idea since we tend to get navigationally challenged at large amusement parks. We would even welcome the idea of adapting the idea at a mall during the holidays, so that we can find out ahead of time if the latest hot Elmo toy is sold out before we get there.

AT&T says: 3G iPhone in 2008
Posted by Sparky Categories: Apple, Smartphones, Handhelds, Internet, Rumors, Wireless / WiFi,
AT&T's CEO Randall Stephenso let slip that a 3G iPhone is indeed on it's way sometime in early 2008. This is an obvious evolution for the platform and is no surprise, but hearing it 'right from the horses mouth' certainly is a nice reassurance. While the exact timing of the release is unknown, he did indicate it would likely be prior to May. Based on AT&T's HSDPA technology the 3G iPhone would feature the same blazing download and upload speeds as other 3G devices currently on the market. Apple has yet to comment on Stephenso's early-announcement.
Gear Live's prediction: the announcement of the 3G iPhone will come hand in hand with a more proper unveiling of the SDK at Macworld, likely with a bump to 16GB of storage to match the current generation iPod Touch. Gear Live's predicament: we can't wait.

Is this the Mac nano?
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, PC / Laptop, Rumors,
We've been hearing rumors of Apple doing away with the Mac mini for quite a while now, and we were even surprised when the line received a refresh a couple of months ago. Now rumors are churning again that Apple might finally kill off the Mac mini, in favor of a new, slim Mac nano. As you can see in the image above, the Mac looks similar to an Apple TV, and includes an IR receiver. The question is - is this the Mac nano? As we all know, Leopard launches at the end of this month. We are expecting a few Apple announcements surrounding that - possibly an updated Apple TV, HD movies in iTunes, and some changes in the Mac line.
[Thanks, Jake!]

Is This The iPod touch?
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Portable Audio / Video, Rumors,
Ah, yes, another Apple event is nigh, and that normally means the email tips start flooding in. Case in point, this image of the "iPod touch". Our immediate thought? Clever mockup…after all, it would make sense that Apple continues to make all their products have a similar look and feel. This iPod touch has a striking resemblance to the newly redesigned iMac that Apple released earlier this month. What do you think? Will we be seeing something like this - an OS X-based touchscreen iPod - from Apple tomorrow?

Leaked Images of New 3rd Gen iPod nano?
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Portable Audio / Video, Rumors,
UPDATE: Here is a supposed image of the "iPod touch".
We just got a couple of images sent to us from an anonymous source who claims that this is the new iPod nano that we can expect Steve Jobs to announce at the Apple Special Event taking place this Wednesday, September 5th. Since we've seen so many photoshop mockups floating around the Internet recently, we are not saying these are the real deal by any stretch of the imagination - however, we love how these look, and a guy can dream, can't he?
I guess we will see how it all pans out on Wednesday. We have another image of the supposed new nano after the break.

Conn. gov faults gun lobbyists over restrictions
HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — Connecticut Gov. Dannel P. Malloy has criticized gun industry lobbyists, just days after he signed into law restrictions on weapons and large-capacity magazines.
Malloy said Sunday on CNN's "State of the Union" that lobbyists want to make sure the industry sells as many guns as possible even to the mentally ill and those with criminal backgrounds. "They don't care. They want to sell guns," he said.
Robert Crook, executive director of the Connecticut Coalition of Sportsmen, a lobbying group, said Malloy's comment was political and absolutely false.
Malloy signed legislation on Thursday that adds more than 100 firearms to the state's assault weapons ban, effective immediately.
The governor and lawmakers acted in response to the December shooting deaths of 20 children and six educators at an elementary school in Newtown.

Tell the EPA to prohibit fracking wastewater from being sent to Publicly Owned Treatment Works
Fracking uses a wide range of toxic chemicals that can contaminate our drinking water, pose health threats to our families and pollute our waterways. High concentrations of heavy metals, chemical additives and even cancer causing compounds such as benzene have been found in wastewater produced by fracking.
Astonishingly, this toxic wastewater can still be sent to sewage treatment plants that were never designed to treat all of the pollutants found in it. This allows pollutants to directly enter our waterways putting at risk downstream rivers and streams including sources of drinking water for millions of Americans.
The Environmental Protection Agency has proposed a rule to stop fracking's toxic wastewater from being sent to these facilities. Will you add your name in support today?

Geneva, 12 September 2013 - Sometimes the language divide between scientists and business seems huge. Indeed one of the IUCN Business Week's key questions mischievously asks "what are the tips for working with the other side?"
Yesterday IUCN staff learnt about one way to share their part of the story.
The Business Ecosystems Training (BET), developed by WBCSD in conjunction with an advisory panel including IUCN, helps conservation experts train businesses on the links between ecosystems and business. The morning's train-the-trainer workshop took IUCN staff through the training material and how to use it. The modules are designed to equip business with the skills it needs to better understand, measure, manage and mitigate ecosystem impacts and dependencies. They can be tailored to cover a wide range of audiences from broad sessions with a number of companies to training teams within one company.
Learning how to organize a BET session triggered IUCN staff to discuss awareness sessions that they were already doing with business and the possibility of adapting many of the IUCN tools to have a business focus with the aim of getting the IUCN value proposition on companies' radar screens.
Daan Wensing of the IUCN Netherlands Committee has already used the training with Leaders for Nature, the IUCN Netherlands business network working together on greening the economy. "We have had some great feedback from the companies that we have trained using BET. It is also a great tool to get a first contact with organizations, as an example we used the first module at the 2012 World Conservation Congress in Jeju and will be using it next week at the CSR Asia summit in Bangkok."
You can find this news story as well as more information about the IUCN Business Week on the IUCN Business and Biodiversity Programme website.
