Finnish startup Rightware is finding more and more homes for its Kanzi user interface, a fancy 3D layer for websites and mobile devices. It is available with an improved version today.
The second generation of the Kanzi user-interface development platform is being adopted in a variety of products. That's because people need a nifty, smooth, and eye-catching way to view the increasingly complex information displayed on their tablets, smartphones, and car dashboards. And the user interface has to move fast as people change screens or drill down on menus, said Tero Sarkkinen, the co-founder of Rightware, in an interview with VentureBeat.
"We've got a new generation of Kanzi coming, and it will be used in a new generation of devices," said Sarkkinen. "The graphics will be fluid and fast. We're becoming the gold standard in user interfaces."
The flow of new customers for Kanzi version 2.6 is gaining momentum. Kanzi is being used for the in-dash infotainment systems in the whole fleet of cars made by Audi. Johnson Controls is using Kanzi to design the user-interface screens for car computers, such as instrument panels or navigation screens.
It is also available as an interface for apps on smartphones and tablets. One of those is the Nabi XD kids tablet computer from Fuhu. And Qualcomm has adopted Kanzi for its QRD reference platform for mobile devices. And RKS Design, an industrial design firm in Thousands Oaks, Calif., is using Kanzi for the design of tablets, smart TVs, and other embedded gadgets.
To make a user interface the right way, the creators have to craft the screen so it can be refreshed constantly, and pixels have to match precisely. App makers license the technology to do that from Rightware and use Kanzi to create custom user interfaces. Those interfaces can take advantage of high-end 3D graphics effects, but they run smoothly. That's because Rightware optimized Kanzi for OpenGL ES, the open-source graphics standard technology. With OpenGL ES compatibility, Kanzi can tap the 3D graphics hardware in a device to draw its eye-catching imagery in a speedy way.
Espoo, Finland-based Rightware started as a part of graphics benchmarking firm Futuremark in 2004. Its goal was to create user interfaces for mobile computing. Sarkkinen left Futuremark in 2009 and immediately spun Rightware out of it. He raised $4.5 million, and on Jan. 3, he announced that he had recruited former Nokia executive Jonas Guest as chief executive. Sarkkinen, meanwhile, heads the company's business in North America. Guest served as a member of Rightware's board before taking the position, and he spent 15 years at Nokia.
Earlier, Rightware said its customers included Wikipad, a mobile tablet gaming company (interface pictured at bottom). Wikipad has licensed Kanzi so players can browse through a game library quickly. Asus uses it in its Transformer convertible tablet/laptop. Fantasy Dice uses Rightware as a gaming interface.
It has a small team that designs user interfaces for a fee, but for the most part, it supplies tools for developers to use themselves. The interface tool allows developers to see the changes they make to a design in real time. The tools are available for sale now for $10,999 at the high end. Rightware is also providing a version for app developers for $999.
Rightware has 52 employees in Finland and offices in the U.S. and China. Sarkkinen said the company plans to raise a new round of funding later this year.

A team effort: From left, Edlow, Hirschberg, Guller and Kearney
ONE MOMENT TOM KEARNEY was walking along busy Oxford Street in London, England – the next he was laying on the pavement with a cracked skull, collapsed lungs and blood streaming from his ears and mouth. It was Dec. 18, 2009, and the businessman and Harvard University graduate had just been struck by a 16-ton bus – the impact projecting him 20 feet down the street and leaving him in a near-death coma.
Kearney is one of an estimated 1.7 million people throughout the world diagnosed annually with a traumatic brain injury (TBI). While many are mild forms, such as concussions, others, like Kearney's, are much more severe. Kearney spent two weeks in the coma as doctors treated his extensive head and chest injuries before embarking on a nearly two-year road to recovery – a journey he shared during the March 12 "Traumatic Brain Injury Awareness Scientific Symposium" in the O'Keeffe Auditorium.
Hosted by the MGH Neuroscience Intensive Care Unit and the Maxwell and Eleanor Blum Patient and Family Learning Center, the event was held in recognition of Brain Injury Awareness Month. Other events included a poster session, information table in the White Lobby and a scientific panel discussion which featured insights from Ronald Hirschberg, MD, physiatrist at the MGH and Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital; Brian Edlow, MD, a neurocritical care fellow; and Yelena Guller, PhD, a neuropsychology fellow at Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital.
"Recovery from TBI is something that we are only just beginning to understand," said Jonathan Rosand, MD, MSc, medical director of the Neuroscience Intensive Care Unit and chief of Neurocritical Care and Emergency Neurology. "But it is clear that recovery from TBI is a team effort."
The key to advancing the care of patients with TBI is multifaceted, but two main components are in-depth research and creating a systematic approach and assessment during the rehabilitation process. "Every patient is built uniquely, but a structured and a standardized approach is key as we move forward in studying TBI," said Hirschberg. "Awareness is also extremely important. This is really a neglected community of people who don't have the resources that they should."
Edlow provided an overview of the extensive MGH research studies now underway, including his efforts to advance neuroimaging techniques to help explain why and how patients regain consciousness following a TBI. Edlow said his efforts also are focused on a new Center for Integration of Medicine and Innovative Technology grant for a Traumatic Coma Response Study, which will test whether advanced imaging biomarkers can help predict this recovery of consciousness in patients admitted to the MGH with traumatic coma.
"This will enable us to better understand the pathology and enable us to better treat patients with TBI in the future," Edlow said. "Through several national consortia, MGH and Spaulding are partnering with other leading academic centers around the country to understand the biological mechanisms underlying recovery from TBI and exploit those mechanisms to develop successful interventions for TBI survivors from all over the world."

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A former furniture warehouse in a struggling Rust Belt city has emerged as a national model for innovation after President Barack Obama highlighted it in his State of the Union speech on Tuesday.
Obama now aims to convince Congress to spend $1 billion to replicate the model nationwide. But it will be a tough sell to Republicans, who oppose government spending on industry and argue private capital will respond if there is real demand.
Yet even before the facility is fully up and running, local business leaders say Youngstown, Ohio's National Additive Manufacturing Innovation Institute (NAMII) is already spurring interest in a promising new technology known as "3D printing" that could bring new manufacturing jobs to the region.
They say the federal government is bringing together researchers and businesses that could make the region a hotbed of cutting-edge manufacturing.
"This is absolutely a net positive for the Youngstown area," said Eric Planey, a vice president with the Youngstown Chamber of Commerce.
Also known as additive manufacturing, 3D printing creates solid objects from a digital model by laying down successive thin layers of material, rather than the traditional "subtractive" approach, in which objects are created by cutting them out of a solid chunk of metal or plastic.
The process has been used to build prototypes for 25 years, but now is making its way into regular production. Companies such as General Electric Co plan to use 3D printing to build lightweight aircraft parts, while dentists use it to create crowns in the space of an hour rather than two weeks.
The Obama administration has been promoting the idea of a manufacturing revival as labor-saving technology, rising costs overseas and cheap energy at home have prompted some manufacturers to bring factory jobs back from overseas.
Economists say the United States is long past the days when steel mills, auto plants and machine jobs boosted millions of unskilled Americans into the middle class. Manufacturing now represents 12 percent of the U.S. work force, down from 20 percent in 1979.
Youngstown has seen some manufacturing jobs return since its giant steel mills shut down in the 1970s, but increased automation means that they employ fewer people than they would have several decades ago.
A new pipe factory that would have needed 1,000 workers 25 years ago now employs 350, Planey said, while a General Motors assembly plant that employs 5,000 produces as many cars as it did when it employed 14,000 people.
Obama administration officials say manufacturing might not ever employ as many people as it once did, but the sector has broader benefits to the economy because it spurs research and development and boosts exports.
Taking a page from similar efforts in Germany, the administration last year picked Youngstown as the site of an "innovation institute" that would spread new manufacturing ideas among a wide range of businesses.
"You are using a facility as essentially like a teaching hospital," Gene Sperling, the director of the White House National Economic Council, said on a conference call on Wednesday. "When there are developments in technology and research, you have the capacity to share them with smaller businesses."
Government agencies such as the Department of Defense, the Department of Energy, NASA and the National Science Foundation put up $30 million for the effort, matched by $40 million from businesses such as Northrop Grumman Corp and universities including Carnegie Mellon.
In his State of the Union speech, Obama asked Congress to spend $1 billion to set up 14 more innovation centers across the nation. He said he would set up three facilities on his own, using existing funds, if lawmakers do not act.
Republicans, who have fought Obama's stimulus for green technology, are unlikely to soften their stance on spending.
"Washington has a spending problem that threatens the prosperity of every child, every family, and every small business in America," House of Representatives Speaker John Boehner, who ran an Ohio manufacturing firm before entering politics.
When the Youngstown center is fully up and running in the next several weeks, the 11,000 manufacturers in the region will get a chance to learn how 3D printing works and determine whether they want to invest in it themselves, said NAMII president Ralph Resnick.
Local workers also could learn how to operate the new equipment, and experts could ensure that the final product will meet existing quality standards.
The idea is to create enough of a body of expertise around the technology to turn the region into a hotbed of additive manufacturing, Resnick said.
"What we're looking to work on is pervasive issues," ones that affect many manufacturers, he said. "If we solve it, it's all good for the community in general."
Like other forms of "high tech" manufacturing, additive manufacturing doesn't have much use for low-skilled workers doing repetitive tasks on an assembly line.
But if it catches on, it could create more demand for industrial designers, inventory managers and other skilled workers, said Todd Grimm, an industry consultant based in Kentucky. It also could spur a new wave of business startups as the barriers to entry are much lower than they are in traditional manufacturing, he said.
"The economy will benefit. To what extent? Will it even be measurable? Who knows - that's for somebody with a crystal ball," he said.

From: ClickGreen staff, ClickGreen, More from this Affiliate

Europe announces huge green energy package for developing nations
The European Commission has announced a new multi-million Euro initiative to support developing countries in their drive towards sustainable energy generation.
The green aid programme will prove specialists from across Europe to help poorer nations develop low-carbon sources of energy.
And the scheme will provide hundreds of millions of Euros to underwrite the roll-out, which has the goal of providing sustainable energy to 50 million people by 2030.
Speaking at the EU Sustainable Energy For all Summit in Brussels today, José Manuel Durão Barroso, President of the European Commission, announced details of the plan.
He said: "We have now clear scientific evidence that we need to embrace new ways of producing energy to avoid damaging global climate; we need to act upon this advice.
"The EU is therefore ready to help those countries that demonstrate such commitment, and to increase its efforts. To that end, I am delighted to announce today the launch of a new Commission initiative: Energising Development.
"Firstly, we will create a world-leading EU Technical Assistance Facility, initially in excess of 50 million euro over the next two years, to stand behind and support those countries that "opt in" to the initiative and commit to the necessary reforms. We will draw on the best EU experts in the field and promote the development and growth of expertise in developing countries themselves.
"I mentioned before that the Commission is already spending over 600 million euro per year in supporting energy; collectively EU Member States are spending even more than this, as we will no doubt hear later today. This is a strong base and, with our Agenda for Change and the mainstreaming of "green aid", we can confidently expect this figure to significantly increase from 2014 onwards, concentrating on sustainable and inclusive energy investments.
"In addition, we will focus on refining, expanding and improving innovative financial instruments to make sure that these billions leverage extraordinary change. For example, we are working with the European Investment Bank on new risk guarantee schemes in developing countries, which have the potential to leverage enormous investments by providing investors with the certainty that today hinders the realisation of many, otherwise profitable, projects.
"And in the short term, we will look to providing a further several hundred million euro to support concrete new investments in sustainable energy for developing countries over the next two years. This support will leverage this amount many times over.
"Here, today, I would therefore like to set a key objective of the Commission's Energising Development Initiative: we should seek to provide support to developing countries committing to the initiative, with the aim of providing access to sustainable energy services to 500 million people by 2030. This is a huge and ambitious objective, but if we work together, and have the courage to implement change, it can be done."
Today's announcement follows survey results that revealed that 95% of Europeans think that access to energy is an important precondition for overcoming poverty in developing countries. In fact, nine out of ten EU citizens want the EU to help people in developing countries to gain access to energy.

Zacharias remembered as visionary leader
Donald W. Zacharias
Donald W. Zacharias, the president emeritus of Mississippi State University who served from 1985-1997, died Sunday, March 3 at the age of 77 of complications from multiple sclerosis after an extended illness. Second in tenure only to Stephen D. Lee, the founding president of the state's land-grant institution, Zacharias brought Mississippi State to a new level of prominence during his 12 and one-half years of service.
Enrollment, private contributions, research and athletic achievement all grew significantly as part of Zacharias' legacy; one unmatched in the history of the university and one that the current MSU leader says will definitely stand the test of time.
MSU President Mark E. Keenum said: "Dr. Donald Zacharias was a transformative figure at Mississippi State University. He really helped bring MSU into the modern era, and he did so by developing a broad vision for the leadership that Mississippi needed from a land grant university. At our last visit during the Christmas holidays, Dr. Zacharias was still providing valuable, thoughtful counsel to me and still had the welfare of MSU students at the top of his mind. I counted him as a friend, a mentor, and an inspiration. Don Zacharias was a man of great courage and dignity, and he was one of the most influential leaders in the history of Mississippi higher education."
Zacharias became a visionary for higher education in Mississippi when he was named MSU's 15th president in 1985 after coming to the Starkville campus from the presidency of Western Kentucky University in Bowling Green, Ky. During his tenure, Zacharias raised MSU's visibility and reputation nationally. Enrollment climbed to the largest in the state at almost 16,000 and African-American enrollment more than doubled to 2,200, 15 percent of the student body and the highest percentage among SEC schools.
Private support surged under Zacharias, as annual contributions rose from $4 million at the start of his presidency to more than $42 million in 1996. He oversaw the first major gifts drive at the university, the five-year Campaign for Mississippi State, which had more than $143 million committed from alumni and friends when he left office in 1997, shattering the initial goal of $110 million. Also, the university's endowment grew six-fold over a dozen years to almost $130 million.
In research, funding from external sources doubled, seeing a high of $80 million in one year. The university became home to one of a handful of Engineering Research Centers funded by the National Science Foundation, and MSU became nationally known for use of technology in the classroom. Under his tenure, the university created the state's first site on the Internet.
Trips to the NCAA men's basketball Final Four and Sweet Sixteen were among the outstanding athletic accomplishments listed among Zacharias' successes, as student-athletes also excelled academically. Football team members reached a graduation rate of 70 percent for six consecutive years, placing them near the top among all Division 1 programs. Other notable athletic endeavors included College World Series appearances in baseball, bowl games in football, and SEC titles in tennis and golf. Zacharias also saw that women athletic offerings were expanded under his guidance.
From the beginning of his tenure, Zacharias understood the importance of enhanced campus buildings and grounds in recruiting and retaining students at MSU. He saw the completion of an expansion and renovation to Mitchell Memorial Library. He also was instrumental in the construction of the Joe Frank Sanderson Center, which opened in 1998.
Zacharias received a bachelor's degree from Georgetown College in Kentucky in 1957 and a master's degree from Indiana University in 1959, where he also completed a doctorate in communication in 1963. He held an honorary Doctorate of Law from Georgetown for distinguished contributions to the college.
Beginning his higher education career in 1963 as a faculty member in communication at Indiana University, he served until 1969 when he joined the University of Texas communication department, attaining full professor rank before entering administration.
In administrative roles with the University of Texas System, he held positions as executive assistant to the chancellor of the 14-campus statewide system and as assistant to the president of the Austin campus. He then spent six years as Western Kentucky's president, creating the first comprehensive development program and significantly raising academic standards before taking the helm at Mississippi State.
Born in Salem, Ind., in 1935, Zacharias is survived by his wife of 53 years, Tommie Kline Zacharias, and their three adult children, Eric, Leslie and Alan, and three grandchildren, all of Boulder, Colo. He is also survived by a sister, Mary Catherine Zacharias Collier, of Yucaipa, Calif.
Upon his resignation from MSU in 1997, Zacharias said: "I saw things in Mississippi State University that others might not have seen. I felt that I had made the right decision to be at this university because I liked both what it stood for and its overall character. I liked its mission, and I liked the students and alumni. I saw the potential."
Funeral arrangements are incomplete at this time. The Zacharias family will communicate details through the MSU Office of University Relations, but a public memorial service is tentatively planned on the campus of MSU on Thursday, March 7.

Mad Max: Downfall of the Main Force Patrol
May 21, 2011
Mad Max
The superpowers of the world are at war. Fears of an impending nuclear apocalypse are on everyones lips. Critical shortages of gasoline, food and clean water have become an everyday occurrence, forcing once law abiding citizens to band together and take drastic action in order to stay alive. Sporting goods stores, now long out of business, have all been looted of their weapons. Some are used for personal protection. Most are used for personal acquisition. All pose a threat to those whom would keep the law.
The last standing Australian law enforcement organization, the Main Force Patrol, does what it can to keep order, but they now face an uphill struggle against the ever growing anarchist threat. Anarchy, however, as a system of rule is impossible by its own definition
The events in this game will focus on the timeframe between the first two Mad Max movies. $1,200.00 in prizes will be up for grabs. Players will be able to directly influence their odds of taking home some goodies during the second half of the event. It all depends on how far theyre willing to go and who theyre willing to step on to get there

Beny Schonfeld necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 439 diseños de 84 diseñadores freelance.
SurSocial.com is revving up to launch very soon. And we need to put together our brand.
SurSocial.com will be the most complete online resource for Latin America for all things Social Media ("SM"). We are SM geeks! Who breath, live and work with SM everyday.
Our objectives with this new website are:
- To educate on the Social Media revolution
- To provide insightful news and commentary on Social Media
- To help people and businesses establish an integrated Social Media presence
- To clearly teach the benefits of Social Media and how using it can grow your business, and enrich your life
- To provide techniques, tips, and practical examples of how Social Media is being used by people and businesses all over the world, but focusing primarily in Latin America.
Our readers will be independent professionals, business owners, marketing and PR professionals, Ad Agencies, Interactive Agencies, Business Consultants, Internet Marketers (Beginner and Advanced)
Our readers will check SurSocial.com regularly (3 to 5 times a week) for the latest news, techniques, interviews and examples on the use of Social Media.
We need a Vector Art logo that will be used on our site, as well as on several Social Media sites (i.e. Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc). The logo will also be used on some printed materials like Business Cards and other Stationary products.
FONT: We're looking for a modern, easy to read font, edgy, urban, that also portrays leadership, expertise and forward thinking, and FUN!. Yet the logo must be practical and simplistic.
ICON: The logo must contain an Icon that will quickly communicate that this is a Social Media company / website. The icon needs to look good in a small size as well since it will be used for the company's Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn Profile picture, as well as for an icon for an iPhone app.
SurSocial.com is Spanish for "Social South". Without limiting you to these thoughts in any way (if you get struck by some "out of the box" inspiration by all means please submit it), these are some things we've thought about:
1. We DON'T want to use the concept of a compass for the icon, unless you believe you've achieved an extraordinary result with it.
2. We DON'T want to use the map/shape of the South American continent, it's just not working well so far in the designs we've seen with that.
4. Since the site is about exploring Social Media in Latin America, a concept that might work well is creating the logo as a "bumper sticker" that has the text and an illustration conveying the power of social media. The sticker would need to be rectangular and look somewhat vintage, and worn like it's been traveling on a suitcase across South America. But remember the main point is to convey engagement, conversation, networking, connection. PLEASE SEE THE ATTACHED FILE "STICKER EXAMPLES" IT SHOWS THE STYLE AND TEXTURE WE'RE LOOKING FOR.
5. A lot of Social Media companies have adopted "Call-outs" in their logos. If approached creatively and tastefully it's very effective. It's also an element that would work well together with the use of the penguin in the icon, or by itself as well!
6. Any other illustration (beyond the ideas of the penguins and call-outs) that conveys the concepts of social networking, connection, conversation, feedback...
Again, the above are things we've though about, BUT WE WANT YOU TO PUSH THE LIMITS HERE... Think outside the box!
COLORS: We feel a light blue color MUST be incorporated in the logo, as this seems to be a trend in Social Media (see Facebook, LinkedIn, Mashable.com, Twitter, they all use blue). See attached Color Palette (JUST A GUIDE!...)
Please review the attached files, we've made some notes in the "logos powerpoint" about things we like!!! I've also attached a zip folder with 2 examples of the look we would like to achieve if you choose to go with the sticker concept, along with 2 links to site with tutorials on how to create it.
We look forward to seeing your designs!

If the team defers to the horrible defense they have played in the past, usually when they're losing ofcourse, they could lose this game and big. Durant, JGreen, Wilcox, Wally and Wilkins have all had a few big games this season and can go off if not checked properly
Dear God, are you honestly panicking over a game against Seattle now...???
Pointing out how people forget the reality of the nba and how things can go
Well, theoretically, a brick can fall out of the sky and kill you the second you step out of your front door... but it doesn't usually happen. Seattle is 2-14 and looks pathetically out of synch this season.

This was a post card my grandmother, Mary Ellen Hayes bought while her and my grandfather, Von Joseph Roe were on their honeymoon in San Fransisco.
I would have posted the back, but the words are almost unreadable. It's so faded. On the back is reads
Love Mary & Rusty Dear Folks, A few lines this morning. We went to Oakland Friday night and stayed till Sat night. We went under the bridge on the ferry. I bought some of these cards. I'm ???ing grandma on this morning???? Did Aunt Celestia & all get started ? Charley called us Friday night and wanted us to come up. I didn't want to but I did on account of Rusty. They have a new T.V. set. Ans soon.I'm a bit confused though since the post office stamp is dated Nov 1950. The only thing I can think of is this was their second honeymoon. They were married in 1947, but because grandpa couldn't find his first wife it wasn't a legitimate marriage. When his first wife showed up a few years later they divorced and Grandma and Grandpa was married legally. This has to be a second honeymoon.
The photo on the front of the card is of the San Fransisco Bay Bridge at sunset. The card is about 8x10. Which is probably why it's seen better days. Someone finally put it in the family album. But I'm sure it spent time floating around in drawer having the corners bent before it was finally put in an album page to protect it.

ohpandahat wrote:I'm quite an intolerant person in general, but when it comes to noise, I just can't cope with it!
Eg 1: I'm trying to do maths revision and all I can hear is the little brats who are in their garden (which backs onto our garden) screaming! They seriously can't communicate without screaming at the top of their voices! And this isn't just about dyspraxia, I have dyscalcula aswell so I have to concerntrate extremely hard when it comes to maths!
Eg 2: My brother likes to play extremely loud music (often rap!) in his room, with the bass pounding. He especially likes to do this while having his bedroom door open, while he's in the shower. ¬ ¬ My response to this is often screaming and holding my head in my hands. He will often turn it down slightly, but lets face it, teenage brothers are only concerned with what they want!
So I just can't remotely concerntrate / focus, infact, if someone asks me a question in a loud environment, I couldn't give them an answer because it's too much to handle! My brain stops working! I can't do revision if I can hear noises, it's too distracting! I also can't sleep if theres more than minimal noise. Earplugs don't stay in my ears well either.
(I wonder if a small part of this is because i'm lucky enough to have grown up in a quiet area, in a big house so i'm not used to having to deal with noise much. So when there is noise, I don't know how to handle it.)
Does anyone else have similar problems?

text: Liv Ullmann plays the widowed, crippled Anna Fromm, who while traveling on a remote island calls upon reclusive ex-convict Andreas (Max von Sydow) in order to use his telephone. After Anna leaves, Andreas discovers she's left her purse behind; he opens it, hoping to find some identification. A letter in the purse details Anna's unhappy marriage and the depths of her loneliness. Eventually, Anna moves in with Andreas, who has become more closely acquainted with her through the intervention of Anna's friends Ellis and Evan Vergerus (Bibi Andersson and Erland Josephson). But tensions and conflicts ensue, and threaten to destroy the burgeoning relationship between Anna and Andreas. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

We've answered some questions about the CFCA logo in an earlier "Ask Sponsor Services" post, but one has come up recently that we'd like to explore.
Paul Pearce, director of global strategy at CFCA, explained another aspect of the logo at a recent CFCA board meeting.
"The cross in the logo is slanted," he said, "because it's being carried."
Just as Simon of Cyrene helped Christ carry the cross at Golgotha, sponsors and sponsored friends are carrying one another's burdens on an ongoing basis.
From the beginning, Paul says, CFCA worked with people of diverse faith traditions. The goal was always to make CFCA a place of unity, not divisions, among faiths.
An old logo had a picture of a globe with two sponsored children and a cross above both:
However, this looked unintentionally disruptive. The cross is in the middle of the globe, dividing instead of unifying the picture.
So a "logo committee" formed at CFCA, and a new logo emerged: one where the cross is an extension of the people's arms in serving each other.
"It is about action. It is an active faith," Paul said.
Interesting side notes:
As Paul researched more about the cross, he discovered that Cyrene was a province in North Africa during biblical times.
Here is Simon, this stranger from a foreign country, carrying the cross of Christ in Israel.
Even though no one made the connection at the time the logo was created, Paul has since heard mothers of sponsored children explaining that sponsors are very much like Simon ñ strangers from a different land, appearing to support them!
And because this is an equal partnership, at times sponsored friends will carry sponsors' burdens, whether that means praying for them or giving in other ways through their generosity and love.
As sponsor Ron Bliss said, "I'm convinced that we get more out of the sponsorship than they do since I believe God truly hears the prayers of the poor!"

Eva Longoria, one the highest-profile campaigners for President Barack Obama in 2012, has moved on to advocacy for Latino issues on Capitol Hill, earning effusive praise from lawmakers.
Rep. Joaquin Castro said he first met Longoria in San Antonio around 2003, before she achieved fame from her role on Desperate Housewives. Castro said they have become regular friends, getting together when she is back in San Antonio.
Since 2008, the first-term Democratic congressman from San Antonio said he has seen the political side of Longoria, speaking with her on issues such as education, environment, voter turnout, and her foundations.
"As she developed a higher profile, she wanted to help out," Castro said in a phone interview.
Castro said it is important that folks in places like San Antonio could see an educated Latina who remains active in the community and politics. When asked if Longoria could have a future in Texas politics, Castro was unequivocal.
"She can have a big a role as she wants," Castro said. "I said she should come back and run for office."
Longoria contributed $2,500 to Rep. Castro's campaign last September, according to the Federal Election Commission.
Longoria has founded Eva's Heroes, an after-school program for developmentally disabled children. She also runs the Eva Longoria Foundation, which provides education and entrepreneurial assistance to aspiring Latina businesswomen. This May, Longoria received her Master's in Chicano Studies from Cal State University, Northridge.
Joaquin's twin brother, San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro, said he last saw Longoria at a campaign event in his home city. Longoria served as a national co-chair to Obama's 2012 campaign.
"She struck me as someone always concerned with giving back to others," Julian Castro said in a phone interview.
In addition to campaigning, Julian Castro said Longoria has reached out to the San Antonio community. The mayor said he also met Longoria at the opening of Morgan's Wonderland, an amusement park for special needs children. As well he has followed her work with Accion Texas, helping to get loans for Latina entrepreneurs.
In early May, Longoria visited DC to advocate for Latina-owned businesses. Longoria urged the Senate Small Business and Entrepreneurship Committee to help Latinas overcome institutional barriers to success. Longoria specifically asked for more resources through the Small Business Administration.
"If Congress really wants to create jobs and increase our global competitiveness, it needs to invest in programs like the Women's Business Centers, which give Latinas the resources they need to create thriving small businesses," Longoria told the committee.
One of the politicians who has worked with Longoria the longest is Democratic Rep. Lucille Roybal-Allard of California. Longoria joined Roybal-Allard in advocating for child agricultural workers.
Longoria came to the Capitol and screened "The Harvest" documentary she had produced. The documentary details the lives of children as young as 12 who work as many as 12 hours a day for half the year. The agriculture industry is not subject to the same labor oversight as other sectors. Longoria pushed for legislation Roybal-Allard ended up sponsoring, the Children's Act for Responsible Employment, that would match labor standards in agriculture with other industries.
"She is not pretentious, at all," Roybal-Allard said, saying that Longoria made people feel like they mattered. "I watched her interact with staffers, here on the hill, and each one got her undivided attention." Longoria contributed $2,500 to Roybal-Allard's campaign in 2012.
Roybal-Allard said Longoria will likely continue advocating for issues in the Latino community, especially fighting for Latino children to have greater opportunities.
"I think she's a very important role model for young Latinas, because she comes from a poor background," Roybal-Allard said. "She had to struggle in the beginning, and she's an example of someone who had perseverance–never gave up, in terms of pursuing her dream."

The Editor's Back Fence
Voting for School Board?
I've punted on endorsing school board candidates until now because I really don't know much about school board politics, since the Planet no longer has a reporter to assign to covering education. I did get the idea that current school boards members, whoever they are, and some of whom I've supported in the past, were badly misinformed in a variety of ways in their recent attempt to find a superintendent. But on Saturday I encountered candidate Judy Appel campaigning at the Farmers' Market, talked to her for a long time, and decided to vote for her. She's smart and has had a variety of experiences which should improve her perspective on the information she'll have to process, and she has kids in school now. You can vote for one more candidate, but you're on your own for that one.

Martha Skolfield (1836-1904)Item 12329 info
Pejepscot Historical Society
Ingredients tell us what to cook; instructions tell us how. Look closely at recipes from one place or time and you'll learn more about people and food.
Printed words assume the cook can read. Exotic or imported ingredients assume enough household income for little luxuries like desserts. Cookbooks mostly inform us about educated, middle-class women, such as Martha Skolfield.
Martha collected numerous cookbooks, which can still be found in the Skolfield-Whittier House in Brunswick. She kept a notebook in which she copied recipes from friends or newspapers.

For a long long time there was single track through beacon yard. There was no track 1 between the switch after yawkey and around the Boston Landing area. With the Boston Landing development track one was extended through beacon yard. And then a new switch was recently completed east of Boston Landing. Apologies that I can't tell you the CPXX number, I am yet a lowly train commuter.
MOST of the time on the worcester line, the rush hour trains tend to use track 2. This is for all kinds of reasons, but mostly because you have stops like West Natick that only really make sense to pick up and drop off on track 1 because otherwise you have to have people cross the track.
My comment was that on the 507, the inbound train switched onto track 1 in Weston instead of continuing it's normal run on track 2. I don't know why - it's just interesting.

Network data security with the Verizon MI424WR router Concerns over your wireless home network security shouldn't end when your network is working and you have initially configured your security settings. Changing your security settings should be considered routine maintenance that is done three or four times a year.
The type of data on your network and your level of concern for your network's security will determine the frequency that you change your security settings as well as the Verizon MI424WR router security features that you use.

efi/libstub/arm*: Set default address and size cells values for an empty dtblsk/kdump/for-v4.9
In cases where a device tree is not provided (ie ACPI based system), an empty fdt is generated by efistub. #address-cells and #size-cells are not set in the empty fdt, so they default to 1 (4 byte wide). This can be an issue on 64-bit systems where values representing addresses, etc may be 8 bytes wide as the default value does not align with the general requirements for an empty DTB, and is fragile when passed to other agents as extra care is required to read the entire width of a value. This issue is observed on Qualcomm Technologies QDF24XX platforms when kexec-tools inserts 64-bit addresses into the "linux,elfcorehdr" and "linux,usable-memory-range" properties of the fdt. When the values are later consumed, they are truncated to 32-bit. Setting #address-cells and #size-cells to 2 at creation of the empty fdt resolves the observed issue, and makes the fdt less fragile.

Putin NYT op-ed sparks tension
As Russian and U.S. officials met Thursday on a potential Syria chemical weapons solution, many on the Hill where fuming over an op-ed by Vladimir Putin in The New York Times in which the Russian president took President Barack Obama to task for touting American exceptionalism.
"I almost wanted to vomit," Sen. Robert Menendez (D-N.J.) said on CNN after reading the piece.
Story Continued Below
The op-ed was published just hours before Secretary of State John Kerry was set to meet Thursday with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov in Geneva, Switzerland, to discuss a proposed agreement for Syria to turn over the country's chemical weapons to international control to be destroyed.
As the duo opened the talks with remarks to the press Thursday afternoon, Lavrov said he was not laying out Russia's political position because they were articulated in Putin's piece.
"Our approaches are clear, and they are stated in the statements of the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin and in his article in The New York Times, and I'm convinced that all of you read this article," Lavrov said through an English translator. "I decided not to lay out here our diplomatic position. Diplomacy likes silence, and we intend to find compromises."
( PHOTOS: Pols respond to Putin's NY Times op-ed)
Lavrov said he hoped the efforts would be successful.
"This is not a game, and I said that to my friend Sergey," Kerry said in his remarks. "It has to be real. … We are serious, Mr. Foreign Minister, we are serious, as you are, about engaging in substantive, meaningful negotiations even as our military maintains its current posture to keep up the pressure on the Assad regime."
Back in Washington, in comments to the press before meeting with his Cabinet, minus Kerry, Obama said earlier Thursday he was "hopeful" about the talks.
"I am hopeful that the discussions that Secretary Kerry has with Foreign Minister Lavrov as well as some of the other players in this can yield a concrete result and I know that he is going to be working very hard over the next several days over the possibilities there," Obama said. He ignored reporters' questions about Putin's op-ed.
( Also on POLITICO: Boehner 'insulted' by Putin op-ed)
Asked specifically about the op-ed, a State Department representative said Russia now needs "to put forward actions now, not just words."
In the piece, Putin denied the Syrian regime used chemical weapons against civilians, instead blaming the rebels, and he criticized Obama's speech to the nation this week.
"I carefully studied [Obama's] address to the nation on Tuesday. And I would rather disagree with a case he made on American exceptionalism, stating that the United States' policy is 'what makes America different. It's what makes us exceptional.' It is extremely dangerous to encourage people to see themselves as exceptional, whatever the motivation," Putin wrote.
Putin also lambasted the U.S. as an aggressor with a negative international reputation.
( Also on POLITICO: Behind the N.Y. Times' Putin op-ed)
"Millions around the world increasingly see America not as a model of democracy but as relying solely on brute force, cobbling coalitions together under the slogan 'you're either with us or against us,'" Putin wrote, referencing Iraq and Afghanistan and urging a "return to the path of civilized diplomatic and political settlement."
"I was insulted," House Speaker John Boehner said when asked for his "blunt" reaction to the piece in his weekly press briefing Thursday.
Asked to elaborate, Boehner declined.
"No, I think that the president does foreign policy," Boehner said. "I probably have already said more than I should have, but you got the truth."
( VIDEO: Timeline of Syria crisis response)
Frequent and outspoken Putin critic Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) minced no words over his take on the piece.
"Putin's NYT op-ed is an insult to the intelligence of every American," McCain tweeted Thursday morning.
Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.) echoed the nausea experienced by Menendez.
"It sickened me that we would have to sit there and read that," Inhofe said on MSNBC's "Jansing and Co." on Thursday. "But let's look at it through Putin's eyes. He now knows that we had to come to him to get out of a hole. So, I think he's enjoying a lot more than Menendez and I are enjoying it."

A string of lawmakers and politicians dismissed Putin's PR move as an attempt by Russia to gain leverage as the negotiations kick off.

Marines repel attack near Da Nang.
Just miles from Da Nang, U.S. Marines repel an intense attack by successive waves of Viet Cong troops and kill 56 guerrillas.
A search of the dead uncovered a sketch of Marine positions written on the body of a 13-year-old Vietnamese boy who had been selling drinks to the Marines the previous day. This incident was indicative of the nature of a war in which even the most seemingly innocent child could be the enemy. There were many other instances where South Vietnamese civilians that worked on or near U.S. bases provided information to and participated in attacks alongside the enemy.
Also on this day: Two U.S. planes accidentally bomb a friendly South Vietnamese village, killing 48 civilians and wounding 55 others. An American civic action team was immediately dispatched to the scene, and a later investigation disclosed that a map-reading error by South Vietnamese officers was responsible.
Also on this day: In New York City, military veterans lead a parade in support of government policy in Vietnam. Led by five recipients of the Congressional Medal of Honor, 25,000 people march in support of America's action in Vietnam.

Course Description:
We typically promote people to a supervisory position based upon their demonstration of the technical competencies required at the line level, not because of their ability to handle the demands of supervision. The world of the supervisor is significantly different from that of the line worker. All too often, the newly appointed supervisor subsequently finds himself or herself immersed in a 'world' he or she didn't anticipate and/or doesn't understand. The result is often a well-intentioned but ineffective supervisor who is unprepared for the 'realities' of supervision. The transition from effective line worker to effective supervisor is a difficult and challenging one.
This pre-supervisor's course is designed to acquaint the prospective supervisor with an awareness of the demands and functions of the world of supervision.

YREKA Two San Francisco Bay area men have been named as suspects in connection with the theft of more than $1 million in gold from a county courthouse's historical collection, Siskiyou County officials said.
David Dean Johnson, 49, of El Cerrito and Scott Wayne Bailey, 51, of El Sobrante, are wanted on $1 million arrest warrants issued earlier this week, The Redding Record-Searchlight (http://bit.ly/11VUiTh) reported Friday.
The two allegedly broke into the gold collection at the Siskiyou County Courthouse in Yreka in February 2012 and made off with $1,257,500 in gold, jewelry and artifacts.
"These thieves stole a part of Siskiyou County history, which represents the hard work, sacrifice, traditions, and pioneer spirit which characterizes the personality of Siskiyou County and its citizens – past and present," Siskiyou County Sheriff Jon Lopey said in a statement.
After allegedly making off with the gold, jewelry and artifacts, Johnson and Bailey used the money from the sale of the goods to purchase "high-value" items, Lopey said.
The entire gold collection before the theft was valued at about $3 million. Lopey said it would be "highly speculative" to guess how much of the gold, if any, would eventually be recovered, Lopey said.
When detectives traveled to the Bay Area looking for the two suspects on Thursday, they found additional evidence, Siskiyou County sheriff's detectives said.
Surveillance footage captured video images of two men breaking into the courthouse at the time of the heist. An alarm that was rigged to notify Yreka police and sheriff's deputies did not sound at the time.
Yreka, the seat of Siskiyou County, sits in the shadow of 14,000-foot Mount Shasta near the Oregon border.
Miners and other residents donated much of the gold to the collection over the past century, while other pieces were purchased with county funds.

Simply set the alarm on your Philips Clock radio to wake you with the radio station you last listened to or choose to wake up with a buzzer sound. When the wake up time is reached, your Philips Clock radio will automatically turn on that radio station or trigger the buzzer to sound.
To counter oversleeping, the Philips Clock radio has a snooze feature. Should the alarm ring and you wish to continue sleeping a bit longer, simply press the Repeat Alarm button once and go back to sleep. Nine minutes later the alarm will ring again. You can continue to press the Repeat Alarm button every nine minutes until you turn off the alarm altogether.
Start your day right by waking up gently to a gradually escalating alarm volume. Normal alarm sounds with a preset volume are either too low to wake you up or are so uncomfortably loud that you are rudely jolted awake. Choose to wake up to your favorite music, radio station or buzzer alarm. Gentle wake's alarm volume gradually increases from subtly low to reasonably high in order to gently rouse you.
Sleep timer lets you decide how long you want to listen to music, or a radio station of your choice, before falling asleep. Simply set a time limit (up to 1hour) and choose a radio station to listen to while you drift off to sleep. The Philips radio set will continue to play for the selected duration and then automatically switch to a power-efficient and silent stand-by mode. Sleep Timer lets you fall asleep to your favourite radio DJ without counting sheep, or worrying about wasting power
The Philips radio's playing time can easily be controlled by setting the preferred number of minutes on the digital timer. It automatically counts down the time and turns off the radio at the end of the session.
The Philips audio system comes with two alarm times. Set one alarm time to wake you up and the other time to wake up your partner.
The built-in FM tuner lets you enjoy your favorite songs or news from your radio station every day. Simply tune into the station that you want to listen.

Why the Holiday Grind May Be Damaging Your Teeth – And More
Physicians Say Stress, Joy and Caffeine Can All Lead to Teeth-Grinding
"For many people, stress causes teeth grinding – bruxism – during the day or while they're asleep at night and it's not as innocuous as it sounds. It not only wears down the enamel of the teeth, it can cause headaches, muscle pain and disrupted sleep, which leads to daytime drowsiness and irritability," says Dr. Hindin of the Hindin Center for Whole Health Dentistry (www.hindincenter.com), who partners with Dr. Gelb in tackling chronic disease with multidisciplinary approaches.
"Bruxism is the third most frequent abnormal sleep behavior – sleep talking and sleep walking are other examples -- and the No. 1 reason patients come to my clinic, even though they're often not aware they're grinding," says Dr. Gelb of The Gelb Center in New York (www.gelbcenter.com), a holistic dentist known worldwide for pioneering integrative treatments. "Stress is generally the cause of daytime teeth grinding, which is an involuntary clenching of the jaws. But great joy can be a cause, too. Nighttime grinding can have many causes – or no clear cause at all."
Drs. Hindin and Gelb share some of the causes of teeth grinding and what people can do about it:
• 1 in 4 people with obstructive sleep apnea are bruxers: Like nighttime teeth grinding, people with sleep apnea are often unaware they have a problem, so if the grinding leads to a diagnosis of sleep apnea, it could save the person's life. People with untreated sleep apnea can stop breathing hundreds of times a night. Those with severe cases are 46 percent more likely to die prematurely, according to a study published in 2009 in PLOS Medicine journal.
"Your doctor or dentist should explore the possibility of obstructive sleep apnea as a potential cause of your bruxism," says Dr. Hindin.
• Caffeine, alcohol, cigarette smoking and hypertension are all linked to increased incidence of bruxism: People who have a drink before they go to bed and people who ingest caffeine are more likely to be teeth grinders, with the likelihood increasing the more a person consumes. Cigarette smoking and high blood pressure are also associated with teeth grinding, as are certain drugs used to treat depression.________________________________________
• Nighttime dental guards are just one option for treatment: Depending on the cause of the bruxism, there are a variety of treatment options, ranging from dental guards to botox injections to anti-anxiety medications. "To effectively address the problem, the cause needs to be diagnosed if possible and treated," says Dr. Gelb. "Bruxism can cause irreversible damage to your teeth, TMJ disorders and other problems and, as Dr. Hindin pointed out, it can be a sign of a more serious underlying problem, so it shouldn't be ignored."
But that doesn't mean that everyone who grinds is in for a hefty medical bill. "For some people, treatment may be as simple as a $10 night guard purchased at the drug store – although a custom-fitted night guard is best."
