What do go players do after competing all day at the World Amateur Go Championship? Review their games, of course. Here, U.S. player Yuan Zhou 7d — a longtime go teacher and author — analyzes a game Tuesday night in the Baiyun Hotel's 30th-floor bar/playing room with Sweden's Martin Li (center) and Pal Sannes of Norway, while Dragan Paunic of Bosnia-Herzegovina watches.

WAGC Game Report: Round 6
Tuesday May 15, 2012
In Round 6, Tuesday's afternoon round, China's Qiao Zhijian (below right) immediately launched into the same Dosaku opening that he had used successfully in the morning round, once again playing his initial moves in less than one second each. The game took a similar course, with black (Qiao) securing considerable territory while white (Korea's Lee Hyunjoon, at left) constructed a framework, inside which he tried to destroy an invading black group. At one point it looked as if he had a fair chance of catching the invaders, but running wild inside opponents' frameworks seems to be Qiao's specialty, and as in his morning game, he successfully brought his invaders to safety. Lee resolutely switched strategies and tried to win on territory, but this appeared difficult. Toward the end of the game Lee started a ko on the lower edge, but by this time all the black stones were connected into a single group, and white didn't have enough ko threats. Qiao won the ko, started another (indirect) ko that eventually Lee had to win to avoid losing the top left corner, and won the game by 2.5 points.
Serbia's Mijodrag Stankovic needed less than 40 minutes to dispose of Australia's David Bofinger (right). 'Against a 5-dan opponent I chose to fight,' said 2-dan David, 'but it was the wrong fight to choose.' The players from Chinese Taipei, DPR Korea, Japan, and Hong Kong successfully overcame opponents from Germany, the U.S. Belarus, and Singapore. DPR Korea's Ri Kwang-Hyok will be the next to try to defeat Qiao Zhijian Wednesday morning. The low-teen duo from Chinese Taipei and Hong Kong are also in the five-win band, which means they are still in contention for the championship; they will play each other in Round 7. Another player in this band is Hungary's Pal Balogh, who used the avalanche joseki to defeat Slovakia's Pavol Lisy in Round 6, and will face the Korean Lee in Round 7.
In other notable results, Vietnam's Do Kanh-Binh (left) defeated Alexander Eerbeek, who said 'I played like a 10-kyu.' In a match between two players who reside in Canada, French seed Remi Campagnie downed Canadian representative Xianyu Li. In games matching Europeans against Latin American opponents, Italy's Carlo Metta, Switzerland's Felicien Mazille, and Argentina's Eduardo Lopez picked up their third wins by defeating Costa Rica's Luis Cajiao, Colombia's Carlos Acuno, and Austria's Lothar Spiegel, while Ireland's Colin MacSweeney (right) picked up his second win by beating Brazil's Nadeen Prem. And most notable of all, Fang Xiaoyan made this a perfect day for China by defeating Mongolia's Bayarjargal Shartolgoi.

WAGC Short Takes: Yuan Zhou on Tygem & the U.S. Pro System; Nihon Ki-in Teams up with Cho U on New Go App; In the Gardens of the Guangzhou Chess Institute; A Glimpse of James Davies
Tuesday May 15, 2012
Yuan Zhou on Tygem & the U.S. Pro System: Yuan Zhou 7d warmed up for his World Amateur Go Championship appearance by playing on the Tygem server, where he told the E-Journal that "It was very easy and fast to get good games." Heading into his fifth-round game against the UK's Samuel Aitkin 4d, Zhou said he was pleased with his 3-1 record thus far, noting that his fourth-round win against Seizoh Nakazono 8d was the first time in WAGC history that the US had prevailed over Japan. He's excited about the new American pro system now in development and looking forward to competing in the pro qualifier at the Maryland Open at the end of the month. "It's so important for the future of American go," Zhou said, "it will give hope to young American players that a go career is possible."
Nihon Ki-in Teams up with Cho U on New Go App: Colorful cats, dogs and frogs danced on Taro Matsuo's iPad as the Go World editor enthusiastically showed off the Nihon Kiin's playful go app developed with top pro Cho U 9P. The new app features cute cartoon animals that guide a beginner through learning the fundamentals of go in a "fun and accessible way," Matsuo said. Now available in the iTunes app store in Japanese (search for Nihon Ki-in or go), the hope is to release an English-language version later this year. The app joins other Nihon Ki-in apps including its tsume-go (life and death) app; IgoFree, for playing go in-person on an iPad, and e-publications including Go World, Go Weekly (featuring playable game records), and more than ten go books, "with two more due out next month," Matsuo says proudly.
In the Gardens of the Guangzhou Chess Institute: Clouds of dragonflies flitted above us as we took in the view from the garden atop the Guangzhou Chess Institute. A waterfall burbled merrily nearby, giving a measure of relief from the oppressive heat. Built for the 2010 edition of the Asian Games, the Institute is a spectacular venue for go, chess and Chinese Chess events near scenic Baiyun Mountain, and includes two major playing halls, rooms for players and officials to stay in, and study rooms, as well as lush gardens and an impressive museum dedicated to the three games. The museum celebrates the Chinese origins of go, and the key figures in that history, from Ming emperor Yao, who legend says had it invented for his son, to Wu Qingyuan, known to the west as Go Seigen, the prodigy who triumphed so spectacularly in Japan, became one of the best players of all time and, with Kitani Minoru, broke away from the traditional opening patterns to develop modern go. Other Chinese go giants like Chen Zude, Nie Weiping and Gu Li are also highlighted, although all the museum text is in Chinese, leaving the western vistor to puzzle out things like the player's names on the historical games on the walls (shown here by So Yokoku 8P). An exhibition of English-language panels covering much the same material were produced for the WAGC main playing area and perhaps will be displayed in the museum. The exhibits of boards, pieces and carved wood panels in the cool and shadowy museum are inviting in Guangzhou's heat, but so too are the whisper of the breeze in the bamboo and rustle of the twisted pines in the Institute's gardens, as the player's stones click steadily along like cicadas in the trees.
A Glimpse of James Davies: James Davies does not flaunt his encyclopedic knowledge of the game of go, its history and players. It's not his style. The author of elegant Ishi classics like An Introduction to GO, 38 Basic Joseki and Attack and Defense, who's covering the WAGC for Ranka Online, Davies drifts about the playing area, seemingly aimlessly, keenly watching and listening, jotting down the occasional note, asking a quiet question or two of players exiting the playing area. Over six feet tall with a perfectly-trimmed bushy mustache that hides his expression but not the hint of a twinkle in his eyes, and always impeccably attired in a sports coat regardless of the oppressive heat, Davies' comprehensive round-by-round reports and provide a keen eye for the telling detail, the way one player places his stones, the demeanor of another, the positional status of each game Davies turns his attention to. In another life, perhaps, the Baltimore native might have been a sportcaster, the kind with the true fan's appreciation of the game and a gift for the sharp-eyed observation, dryly delivered.

WAGC Game Report: Round 5
Tuesday May 15, 2012
Tuesday, May 15: On Board 2, China's Qiao Zhijian chose a variation of the Dosaku opening and played his first ten moves in less than one second each, quickly constructing a huge black framework in the bottom half of the board…There were fewer fireworks on Board 1, but after a good opening and a bad middle game, Korea's Hyunjoon Lee outplayed DPRK's Ri Kwang Hyok in the endgame and then won the final one-point ko to prevail by 2.5 points…On Board 7, Samuel Aitken (UK, at right ) used his fifth move to make a three-space extension from the third line to the second line, a new pattern that has been appearing in professional games. He and Yuan Zhou (US) battled it out for the next two and a half hours, but in the end Aitken resigned…On Board 9, Lukas Podpera (Chechia) and Japan's Nakazono Seizo also battled it out for two and a half hours, but today Nakazono's Japanese supporters had the satisfaction of seeing Japan's amateur Honinbo score a convincing win in the longest game of the round. The fastest was the game between Mongolia and Portugal, over in less than an hour and described as 'an easy win' by Portugal's Daniel Tome. The most dramatic involved the players from Romania and Singapore: "I had the game in my pocket for at least 90% of the time,' said Romania's Cornel Burzo after it ended, 'but with the clock counting the time, I got stressed and tried to shorten the process by killing a group. The moment after I played the stone I realized it was a catastrophic mistake. I went from something like a hundred points ahead to a hundred points behind."

WAGC Go Players on Destiny, Predicting the Weather and Managing a Disco Bar
Tuesday May 15, 2012
One of just two women players at this year's World Amateur Go Championship, Chile's Leslie Perez (top left) says it was "destiny" that she learned to play go, taught by a classmate at university in Valparaiso where she was studying for her bachelor's degree in computer science. She's playing at 4k at the WAGC but had reached 1k on KGS a few years ago before her studies cut back her playing time. She's now studying for a Ph.D in Belgium, "but I'm still playing go" she tells James Davies in a Ranka Online interview. In other interviews, Norway's Pal Sannes (bottom right) reveals that he works for the Norwegian Meteorological Institute, predicting the weather…Yuan Zhou (US, top middle) talks about being "quite pleased" about losing to his student Josh Lee…Malaysia's Zaid Waqi (bottom left) discusses developments in Malaysian go…Kerem Karaerkek (Turkey, top right) talks about his work as a mountain guide, guitarist and disco bar manager…Japan's Nakazono Seizo (bottom middle) says that his go salon's 6-point komi, permitting drawn games, "works fine."

On Feb. 8, President Obama addressed a meeting of the Deans Council of the American Society for Engineering Education in Washington, D.C. "For every Steve Jobs, we need 10,000 engineers who maybe are working a little more quietly but nevertheless are able to create the kind of products and services that improve people's lives and also make sure our economy goes well," he said.
The challenge, the President added, is attracting more young people into the field. "How can we reach into communities that currently aren't producing a lot of engineers?" In these brief remarks, the president revealed a deep understanding not only of what engineers do and their value to society but also of the need to boost awareness and opportunities for girls and under-represented groups to participate in the field.
In other, more public speeches, including the recent State of the Union address, Mr. Obama has called out engineering as essential to addressing some of the big challenges facing the nation and world, like climate change, clean energy, and decaying urban infrastructures (see www.engineeringchallenges.org). On the same day as his meeting with the engineering deans, the White House sponsored the second annual White House Science Fair.
It was not called the White House Science and Engineering Fair, though it well might have been. Of the 100 students invited to participate, a conservative half showcased projects that had serious engineering elements, such as one New York middle schooler who designed a more efficient way to collect solar energy. So while Mr. Obama clearly gets it, it seems the White House staff needs more coaching regarding the nature and role of engineering. No one ever said Changing the Conversation would be easy!

In-depth review: Apple's third generation 1080p Apple TV and Software Update 5The new Apple TV delivers 1080p video along with the features and revamped user interface of "Software Update 5," a free update to existing second generation Apple TV users.
Jump to a different section
What's new in the third generation Apple TV
In terms of features, the latest Apple TV is really only different from the previous iOS based $99 model it replaces in that it can handle 1080p video and that it has an additional wireless antenna for improved WiFi reception that can support faster access to 802.11n wireless networks.
In order to play 1080p video, Apple replaced the previous model's A4 chip with a single-core A5. This gives it computational power somewhere between A4 class devices (including the original Apple TV, iPad and iPhone 4) and last year's dual core A5 products (iPad 2 and iPhone 4S).
This is the opposite direction Apple took with the new iPad's A5X, which took the basic design of the A5 and added twice as many graphics cores. Like the new A5X iPad, the single core A5 variant in Apple TV is given twice as much system RAM as the previous generation.
While the second generation Apple TV had 256MB, the newest model has 512MB, giving the system more breathing room for pushing around larger (and better quality) videos. Additional detail on the new Apple TV's hardware capabilities is presented on the final page of this review, after an overview of its new software features.
Apple TV Software 5.0
While the third generation Apple TV has added horsepower to handle higher quality 1080p video, its feature set is available to the millions of existing iOS Apple TV users via a free version 5 software update, offering a refreshed user interface; iCloud integration that enables users to access previous movie, TV and music purchases directly from iTunes; new photo screen saver formats for your photos or the included professional photography of National Geographic and on-device signup and login for services ranging from Netflix to Flickr.
The new user interface presents five main navigation targets: Movies, TV Shows, Music, Computers and Settings.
Scroll down, and the system presents 13 additional services to navigate, in a new app-like button interface similar to Nintendo Wii channels.
Previous Apple TV software was more menu-centric. The new user interface makes it easier to start toward the direction you want, and makes a variety of services that were once hidden within menu options more visible.

MARIETTA, Ga. -- After
a rough first day, Yankees Corozal acquired their fifth victory on
Tuesday leaving them 5-1 overall with just one pool game left.
Yankees defeated Team Elite 15u Black 7-1 after a six-run rally in
the fourth inning. This was a big win for the Yankees since the Elite
had also had a 4-1 record going into the game.
kids did what they were supposed to do and we came out with a
victory," said head coach Eliud Reyes.
Rivera pitched a solid five innings giving up only one run and two
walks. He struck three out. Rivera is the Yankees "top prospect
pitcher," according to Reyes.
Rodriguez was able to hold the Elite at one run during his time on
the mound in the sixth inning.
Yankees also did well at the plate. They scored six runs in the
fourth inning securing their lead. Luis Gomez went 2-for-3 on
the day with two singles. Gomez, Juan Ortega, Kevin Davila and Felix
Baez all got hits in the fourth inning.
Yankees came all the way from Puerto Rico to give it their all.

nation so we had to be here," said Reyes.

doing pretty well. They lost their first game to the Charlotte
Megastars but have won every game since.
had a bad first day," explained Reyes, "The kids just got off the
plane basically and were a little startled, so we've been having to
fight back."

of his team's top prospects. Baez has made no errors in the field
throughout this tournament and has 15 putouts. Christian Reyes has only made
one error and has 12 putouts.
Garcia has a .529 batting average and already has a home run under his belt.
"(Garcia) has been killer in this tournament," said Reyes.
Reyes is hoping that his entire team can lead them to a victory in Wednesday's game against
the Dulin Dodgers 15u. The
Yankees are now second in their pool behind the Dodgers who are 6-0.
If the Yankees defeat the Dodgers, both teams will have a 6-1 record.

Biden borrows $10 for lunch
David Jackson
Vice President Biden was happy to buy a group lunch Thursday from a Delaware-based sandwich shop chain that just opened a place in Washington, D.C.
Just one problem: The veep didn't quite have enough cash.
Told the bill would be $56.25, Biden pulled out a wad of money, calculated it, and then turned to an aide:
"Fran, you got ten bucks?"
As the crowd chuckled, an employee of Capriotti's offered to comp Biden one of his subs.
Biden, buying the food for his weekly lunch with President Obama, said no, he'd pay the full fare.
"I'm not taking it," Biden said. "You know what, I've been going to Capriotti's on Union Street (in Wilmington) for the last 40 years. I have paid every time I've gone.
"In Delaware, you pay. It's simple."

The transfer station will accept paint for recycling. The charge is $2.00 per gallon.
You may also dispose of left-over paint by following these steps:
Locate a safe, dry area outside - away from pets and children. Remove the lid from the can and allow it to sit until dry. You can speed up the drying process by pouring the paint into a bucket or box lined with plastic and mixing it with kitty litter, sand, sawdust or shredded newspaper. When dry, the paint, cans and other materials may then be safely disposed of with your garbage.

Series History
Harvard has played Connecticut 27 times, the first matchup going to Connecticut, 1-2, in 1946. The Huskies hold the all-time lead in the series, 8-14-5, and are unbeaten in their last four games against the Crimson. Harvard's last win against the Huskies came in 1992, a 2-1 victory at Ohiri Field. The Crimson holds a 5-6-1 record all-time against UConn when playing at home.
About the Crimson
The Crimson had a solid week of action last week, as it picked up its first win of the season Friday and narrowly missed another result Sunday. In its home opener against Michigan State, freshman Jake Freeman notched a first-half goal, the first of his collegiate career, that proved to be the game-winner as the Crimson posted a 1-0 victory in its first ever matchup with the Spartans. Two days later against SMU, Harvard faced a 2-0 halftime deficit, but goals from Scott Prozeller and Oliver White in the final 45 minutes knotted the score at two and forced overtime. Harvard survived an SMU penalty kick but a late push by the Mustangs saw them net the game-winner in a narrow 3-2 (2ot) final.
Four different players have scored for the Crimson this season with Hiroki Kobayashi netting the first goal of the season in a 1-1 tie with Massachusetts. David Barna has the lone assist on the year, providing the feed on Prozeller's goal, and Freeman leads all goal-scorers with nine shots on the year. Freshman goalie Evan Mendez boasts an 0.71 goals against average on the year while classmate Joe Festa has made seven stops in 143 minutes played.
Scouting Connecticut
The Huskies come to Cambridge as one of the top teams in the nation, carrying a 4-0-1 record and playing just their second road contest of the season. In its lone road contest of the season, Connecticut snuck past Michigan State, 1-0, in East Lansing, Mich., Sept. 3. Last time out, the Huskies met a surprisingly stiff challenge from Boston University, as the Terriers netted a second half goal to force a 1-1 draw in Storrs, Conn.
Allando Matheson leads all UConn scorers with five points on two goals and an assist while Mamadou Diouf also has two goals on the season. Max Wasserman leads the team with a pair of assists on the season and he and Carlos Alvarez have a goal each on the year. Andre Blake has played every minute in goal for the Huskies so far, relinquishing just two goals in five games, good for a 0.38 goals-against average.
Up Next
The Crimson will take a week off at it prepares for its trip out west. Harvard's next game comes against California Poly Friday, Sept. 21 at 10 p.m. EST.

LOOKING BACK: Asma Jahangir, Pakistan
When a blind, 20-year-old servant was raped by members of the family that employed her in 1982, Pakistani law dictated that only one thing could save her from being jailed for adultery: four male eyewitnesses to corroborate her story. But the servant — and the wider world — soon found there was another route to justice: Asma Jahangir.
An attorney by training, Jahangir has devoted her career — and repeatedly risked her life — to successfully champion human rights in her native Pakistan, particularly in cases involving women and girls.1 She has chaired the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan since 1987 and in 2010 became the first woman to head the country's Supreme Court Bar Association. She is also her country's best-known and most successful opponent of the so-called Hudood Ordinance, laws enacted in 1979 by Pakistan's then military ruler Gen. Zia-ul-Haq.
The Hudood has resulted in thousands of Pakistani women being imprisoned for so-called "honor" crimes. Additionally, it effectively made women criminally responsible for being victims of sexual assault. Without those male eyewitnesses, a rape complaint was instead treated as a confession of adulterous sex punishable by fines, beatings, jail and even death.
A turning point was the case of that domestic servant, Safia Bibi. When Bibi's father told police that two men in the family that employed Bibi had raped her, it was Bibi who was arrested, charged and convicted of adultery. Her rapists went free. Jahangir took up Bibi's appeal, ultimately helping free her. The case galvanized Pakistani civil society against the Hudood.
Jahangir had been jailed, harassed, threatened and even attacked at her home by would-be assassins. And her refusal to back down finally paid off in 2006, when reforms meant women could present accusations of rape in civil — not religious — courts. The deck was no longer overwhelmingly stacked against them.
Look, crime takes place in every country. But it becomes abuse when the state is unwilling and unable to protect the life and honor of its citizens.
- Asma Jahangir

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
- TeamSpeak is a proprietary Voice over IP software that allows computer users to speak on a chat channel with fellow computer users, much like a telephone conference call.
Install client
Install teamspeak3, available in the official repositories.
Install server
Install teamspeak3-serverAUR, available in the AUR.
Configuration and startup
I do not use the Linux client, please feel free to expand this article at this point.
- You can configure the TeamSpeak server. If you are using systemd please check
/usr/share/doc/teamspeak3-server/server_quickstart.txtfor all available command line parameters.
- If you possess a license file please copy it to
First startup
At the first startup TeamSpeak creates the SQLite database at
/var/lib/teamspeak3-server/ts3server.sqlitedb and the first logfiles. At the same moment TeamSpeak creates the ServerQuery administration account (the superuser of all servers) and the first virtual server including a privilege key for the server administrator of this virtual server. The ServerQuery account is displayed only once on standard output. If you have already started your server and missed it you have to delete
/var/lib/teamspeak3-server/ts3server.sqlitedb and clear
/var/log/teamspeak3-server/ of all logfiles as described below.
- Stop teamspeak3-server (see Daemon).
- Remove
# rm /var/lib/teamspeak3-server/ts3server.sqlitedb
- Clear
# rm /var/log/teamspeak3-server/*.log
- Now you can run the server (as root):
# su -s /bin/bash -l -c "/usr/bin/teamspeak3-server logpath=/var/log/teamspeak3-server/ dbsqlpath=/usr/share/teamspeak3-server/sql/" teamspeak
- You should see an output similar to this:
Example output
------------------------------------------------------------------ I M P O R T A N T ------------------------------------------------------------------ Server Query Admin Acccount created loginname= "serveradmin", password= "password" ------------------------------------------------------------------
- You will also find the privilege key of the first virtual server in this output which can be used to gain administrative rights on this virtual server. But the key is also written to the logfile at
/var/log/teamspeak3-server/and you can see it in
# journalctl _SYSTEMD_UNIT=teamspeak3-server.service
- You can stop the server with this:
# kill $(pidof -o %PPID /usr/bin/teamspeak3-server)
Regular startup
Simply start teamspeak3-server. See Daemon.

Two years ago Lipscomb Lady Bisons pitching coach Lexi Myers scouted the Georgia State High School Tournament in Columbus and returned home with a one item shopping list for coach Kristin Ryman.
"I told Kristin I saw a 6-foot-2, left-handed blond pitcher and I wanted her to play for the Lady Bisons," Myers said.
That pitcher was Ashley Anderson from Sharpsburg, Ga. She became the first left-handed pitcher signed by the Lady Bisons' softball program in the NCAA Division I era. It is difficult to find a quality left-handed pitcher and Ryman was more than happy to add her to the rotation.
"She has a great presence on the mound," Myers said. "She is a left-hander and that is also an advantage for her."
Anderson's debut as a Lady Bisons' pitcher was delayed until this season. During the Christmas break of her freshman season Anderson fell and damaged her shoulder. Surgery was required and she missed the entire 2010 season.
"I was clumsy," Anderson said. "I was walking backwards and I fell. I landed on my arm wrong. It was terrible."
Anderson, who has been playing softball since she was 8, had also sustained a shoulder injury her sophomore year of high school. She missed the season but did not need to have surgery. Anderson admits it was difficult to be on the sidelines.
"I got frustrated a lot," Anderson said. "You have to have the desire and the heart to want to get back into it. It was good to get back on the mound."
Myers stressed that Anderson needs to fully realize how many plusses she offers as a pitcher.
"The toughest part is trying to get her confidence back," Myers said.
But while she may not have been physically involved on the field, she watched and listened to what was going on around her. Ryman would have been happy to have Anderson in the rotation last season, but thinks the time on the sidelines was beneficial.
"She has come a long way in a short amount of time," Ryman said. "I really think a lot of that is because she did sit last year because of an injury. All she could do was sit and learn. She tried to take in as much as she could and I think she did a great job of that.
"Since she has been able to start things physically she has been working and working. It has been a never-ending process for her. We are very excited with the progression we are seeing out of her."
This fall she had placed herself as the No.2 starter behind senior Whitney Kiihnl. She has pitched 16.1 innings and has not allowed a run. She threw six scoreless innings against Trevecca Nazarene Oct. 15, scattering six hits, all singles.
Overall she has struck out 12, given up 13 hits and walked six.
At this stage of her return to the mound Anderson has only been throwing three of her six pitches _ fastball, changeup and drop. She is expected to have her rise ball ready when the Lady Bisons close out the fall season Oct. 27 in a doubleheader with Tennessee State at Draper Diamond starting at 6 p.m.
Myers stresses that the key for Anderson's continued development is patience.
"We want her to be consistent with each pitch before we add another one," Myers said. "You don't try to learn all six pitches at one time. But she wants to throw all of her pitches now and I understand that."
The most surprising thing about Anderson is that she throws the ball harder than she did before her shoulder injury.
"Her mechanics are getting better," Myers said. "She is extremely coachable. She is always asking me questions. She wants it. She wants to continue to get better."

Multi-Cylinder Press Enhances Heat-Exchanger Production
The use of several small cylinders in this unique hydraulic-press design allows more precise control of material flow, a must in the exacting work of producing heat-exchanger plates.
As a leading U.S. manufacturer of gasketed, fully welded and brazed-plate heat exchangers, GEA PHE Systems NA, Inc.'s products find use in residential, commercial and industrial applications in sectors as diverse as chemical, food, sugar, marine, power, HVAC, renewable energy and refrigeration. Part of the GEA Process Equipment Division of the international GEA Group, the company maintains production facilities in Germany, Sweden, Canada and India as well as the United States, and distributes the heat exchangers worldwide.
To gain productivity and maintain precise material control throughout the forming process to produce the heat exchangers, the company has employed a new short-stroke multi-cylinder hydraulic press from Schuler Inc., Canton, MI.
Needed Press to Provide Precise Forming
Compact, efficient and cost-effective heat-exchanger designs at GEA PHE Systems depend on precise engineering and manufacturing, with tolerances as tight as 0.002 in. for channels and bevels.
In planning its new production facility in York, PA, the company set out to design-in extremely high precision and productivity. Jean-Pierre Castenetto, GEA Ecoflex head of production and logistics, developed an ambitious wish list for the new production line:
• Encounter very low bolster and table deflection;
• Gain the ability to make a variety of plate sizes in several material types requiring a high press force;
• Develop an automated system requiring a single operator.
"We also needed high levels of flexibility and productivity, including a faster process and the ability to minimize downtime by changing dies quickly to make different-sized plates," says Castenetto. "Plus, a high level of automation was important for meeting our productivity goals."
Fully Automated and Flexible
Schuler responded with a concept for a custom hydraulic-press system featuring a short-stroke, multi-cylinder design. This approach allows precise material flow with high final quality—no wrinkles or defects, according to Schuler officials.
The system—Schuler engineered, manufactured, delivered and installed it as a turnkey project—includes a decoiling line with a shear, automatic feeding with a single-rail shuttle into the embossing press and a die-change cart able to simultaneously handle three dies, allowing complete die change in less than 30 min. It also includes a single-rail shuttle that removes formed plate from the embossing press and transports it to a blanking press. The exit side of the blanking press features gantry-type automation to remove and stack the plates.
The press employs many small cylinders rather than one large one, to achieve full force. The small cylinders fill faster and require substantially less compressible oil compared to a press with a large cylinder and longer stroke, resulting in much faster cycle time and higher output. Repair time and expense also are greatly reduced compared to what a large-cylinder design would require, say Schuler officials.
In addition, the multi-cylinder design allows GEA PHE Systems to make heat-exchanger plates in a variety of sizes, providing the flexibility to meet changing production needs and customer demand. The company now produces as many as four parts/min., with one operator handling the entire process. For the 28,000 tons of force provided by the press, the output rate is believed to be one of the best in this industry, add Schuler officials.
John Garrity, production manager for gasketed-plate heat exchangers at GEA PHE Systems, likes the press' versatility and high level of automation.
"It provides us with the flexibility to quickly change jobs and make a variety of plates," he says. "Plus, we can provide blanks to other processes within our company, and we can do it all with just one operator. That's a tremendous productivity advantage."
Numerous Applications for Multi-Cylinder Technology
Though designed specifically to meet the needs of GEA PHE Systems, Schuler sees numerous other opportunities for its multi-cylinder technology.
"The market for this type of multi-cylinder hydraulic-press technology is fairly diverse," says Oliver Beisel, director of sales for Schuler Hydrap. "While well suited for complex applications such as that at GEA PHE Systems, it's also ideal for deep drawing stainless steel in applications such as kitchen sinks." For deep drawing stainless steel, the system works in combination with an active die cushion and a multi-cylinder plate, which functions as a hydraulic cushion underneath the blankholder. In contrast, in an embossing press the multi-cylinder plate only applies press force.
For stainless deep-drawing applications, the system acts as support in controlling material flow during the draw. The cylinders in the multi-cylinder plate can be grouped together into different circuits, enabling the operator to precisely control material during forming. Areas can be fully clamped where no material flow is desired because of the risk of fracture, while in other areas the blankholding force can be reduced to control material flow and avoid defects such as wrinkling.

AMD has been on a roll lately with their video card releases. Last year they released their first DirectX 11 video cards in the form of the Evergreen family of video cards. The high-end last year was taken up by the Radeon HD 5870 and Radeon HD 5850 video cards. These two cards represented the pinnacle of video cards on AMD chips until today.
AMD decided to launch a second series of DirectX 11 video cards in the form of an architecture called Northern Islands. Every one of the cards in this new architecture is named after a series of islands. The first cards that launched today are the Barts XT and Barts Pro chips which are the RADEON HD 6870 and RADEON HD 6850 respectively.
Sapphire cards have generally been well received, as they have been partners of AMD since the early RADEON 9700 Pro days. Today, they are launching their HD 6870 card and that is the card on the review bench a reference board based upon the new HD 6870 card, which was codenamed Barts XT. As this is a launch review also check out the HD 6850 review.

Ketubah Buying Guide
Buying a ketubah can seem overwhelming. Designs. Texts. Personalization. How do you know where to start? Fortunately, we've designed an innovative, incredibly accessible site to help you on your way. Just follow our step-by-step guide, and you'll find the perfect Ketubah in a snap.
1. Consult with your wedding officiant to determine which text option (Reform, Orthodox, Conservative, etc.) is right for you. Many officiants prefer or require a certain type of text - the Ketubah is a religious document and a binding legal contract - so make sure to ask them before you make your selection.
2. Once you've narrowed down your choice by text, think about what else might be important to you in your Ketubah. Have your heart set on a certain kind of artistic theme? Trying to stick to a budget? Need something in a hurry? Use our advanced searching to narrow down your browing to your own unique set of criteria.
3. After you've settled on a design and text combination, the next step is to decide if you'd like personalization. Personalization is the process of integrating your individual information - your names, the wedding date, the wedding location, etc. - seemlessly into the body of the Ketubah text, in a calligraphy style that matches the rest of the wording. Should you wish to omit this step, your Ketubah will arrive with blank spaces at the relevant points in the text, for your wedding officiant to fill our during the ceremony.
4. Select your final finishing touches. Expedited delivery? Print on canvas? Our easy drop-down menus will guide you through all of the options available on each Ketubah. A few clicks later, you'll be through our automated, secure online checkout.
5. Shortly after you complete your checkout, you'll get an email from us, confirming the details of your order. If you've decided on a Ketubah with personalization, the email will include a link to our online Personalization Wizard. This easy-to-use, step-by-step guide will allow you to enter in all your personalization information, in both English and Hebrew, and send it either to your wedding officiant for review, or directly to our staff.
6. Curious about the progress of your order? Log into your account on our website, click on "My Account", and see the status of your Ketubah right online. Your information is continuously updated, so you can see just how far along your order has come.
7. As soon as your order has shipped out, we'll send you an email with the anticipated delivery date. That way, you'll know exactly when to keep an eye out. Before you know it, your Ketubah will be at your door!

Bradley Samuels, Founding Partner, Situ Studio, will present Signal to Noise as part of the Spring 2014 Student Lecture Series on Wednesday, April 30, 2014, 6:00 PM in Cascieri Hall.
Abstract: SITU will discuss a selection of recent work which encompasses all three components of the practice; design, research and fabrication. With making as the foundation of all of its work, the selected projects will provide examples of SITU's commitment to the pursuit of an expanded definition of architectural practice through material investigation and applied research.
Bradley Samuels is a founding partner at SITU, a firm operating under three divisions - Studio, Research and Fabrication. SITU was founded in 2005 in Brooklyn, NY, while its four partners were studying architecture at the Cooper Union. A core commitment to material investigation as well as research and writing allows the studio to develop flexible and multifaceted strategies to approach spatial problems. This dual emphasis enables the studio's design process to constantly oscillate between the virtual and physical realms at all stages of a project's development.
Current projects include Design Lab, a redesign of the New York Hall of Science 10,000 square foot exhibition space into a hands-on learning environment dedicated to creative design processes and cross-disciplinary experimentation scheduled to open in June 2014, and the exhibition design for Making it in NYC: The Era of New Manufacturing at BLDG 92 in the Brooklyn Navy Yard. Previous projects include the environment design for The Architectural League of New York's annual Beaux Arts Ball 2013; Heartwalk, a public art installation made from salvaged boardwalk planks collected in the wake of Hurricane Sandy and winner of the annual Times Square Alliance Valentine's Day Heart Competition; reOrder at the Brooklyn Museum, winner of Interior Design Best of Year Award in the Large Exhibition/Installation category in 2011; the exhibition design for Hava Nagila: A Song for the People at the Museum of Jewish Heritage; and the Flight 587 Memorial in Far Rockaway, New York.
In 2006, the firm received the Award for Excellence in Design by the Art Commission of the City of New York, and in 2014 it was given The Architectural League of New York's Emerging Voices award.
Bradley has lectured extensively on geospatial and information-based mapping and digital fabrication, most recently at the Graduate School of Architecture, Planning, and Preservation at Columbia University (GSAPP), the Yale Law School and the AIA Center for Architecture.

"I Want To Be Recycled" Campaign to Target the Nearly Two-Thirds (62 Percent) of Americans Who Are Not Avid Recyclers, According to New Research Released Today
NEW YORK, July 11, 2013 — /PRNewswire/ — The average American produces 4.4 pounds of trash a day, and on the whole the United States produces over 250 million tons of trash a year. However, only about 35 percent is currently recycled, according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). To address this national concern, the Ad Council and Keep America Beautiful (KAB) today launched a public service advertising (PSA) campaign designed to raise awareness about the benefits of recycling with the goal to make recycling a daily social norm.
According to research released today by the Ad Council, only 52 percent of Americans say that they are "very" or "extremely" knowledgeable about how to properly recycle. Additionally, only 38 percent say they are "avid recyclers," recycling as much as possible and willing to go out of their way to do so. While there are several barriers to recycling, among the most common reasons given for not recycling are that respondents did not have enough information about where to recycle or what types of materials they are able to recycle.
The "I Want To Be Recycled" campaign is targeted to motivate Americans to recycle every day. Created pro bono by San Francisco-based ad agency Pereira & O'Dell, the campaign shows that recyclable materials can be given another life and become something new if someone chooses to recycle.
The campaign directs audiences to IWantToBeRecycled.org, a new website with a localized search tool allowing users to find where to recycle either at their curbside or their nearest recycling center. The website illustrates the recycling process through an interactive infographic and offers detailed information on what materials can be recycled, how they should be recycled and what products they can become in the future.
"We are thrilled to be again collaborating with Keep America Beautiful, our longstanding partner in creating PSAs that lead to a more sustainable environment, as we work to increase rates of recycling nationwide," said Peggy Conlon, president and CEO of the Ad Council. "Together, I know that we can reach the 'occasional' recycler and transform recycling into a simple, daily habit for millions of Americans."
"This campaign is the emotional push needed to raise awareness and positively change people's behavior to recycle more. Our intent is to increase recycling rates, which translates into measurable benefits including waste reduction, energy savings, natural resource conservation and job creation," said Brenda Pulley, Keep America Beautiful senior vice president, recycling. "Based on survey feedback, we know people want to recycle. This campaign is designed to tap into that desire as well as provide helpful tools to make recycling easier."
"The core idea is to tell people to recycle and give their garbage another life. Showing that a bottle has dreams seems like a very powerful yet delicate way of doing it," said PJ Pereira, chief creative officer at Pereira & O'Dell.
The Ad Council and Keep America Beautiful partnered together more than four decades ago in 1971, creating a PSA campaign highlighting how litter and other forms of pollution were hurting the environment. The PSA, which featured Iron Eyes Cody, "The Crying Indian," aired on Earth Day in 1971 and emphasized that every individual had a personal responsibility to help protect the environment. The ad became one of the most memorable and successful campaigns in advertising history and was named one of the top 100 advertising campaigns of the 20th century by Ad Age.
The "I Want To Be Recycled" campaign is funded through Keep America Beautiful by Alcoa Foundation, American Chemistry Council, Anheuser-Busch Foundation, Nestlé Waters North America, Niagara Bottling, Unilever and Waste Management. In addition, one of the featured TV PSAs, titled "Stadium," was filmed on location at M&T Bank Stadium, which is home to the NFL's Baltimore Ravens. The stadium's exterior, and additional select areas throughout the venue, is constructed partially from post-consumer recycled aluminum.

More Information
"Alexander Brown creates monolithic symbols that transcend classifications of geography and philosophy of art. His work is thoughtfully conceived and beautifully executed. At the same time, it speaks clearly to people from all walks of life, because it conveys universal ideas of nature, time, and repose. The pristine curves and solid proportions of his ageless sculptures provide a refuge for the spirit. The symbolism is new yet familiar, stating its internal truth in a believable voice.
Educated in the great movements of modern art, Brown acknowledges the importance of certain mileposts in twentieth century sculpture: the abstract work of David Smith and Henry Moore, and especially the ancient Oriental esthetic of Isamu Noguchi. Above and beyond the essential grammar of these influences, however, his ideas are expressed by means of his own extensive language of form.
Alexander Brown's sculptures exert a quiet but commanding presence that draws equally from East and West. 'Twentieth century abstract sculpture has given us an exposure to a mix of elements that we never had before,'he says. 'The Japanese concept of shibui, for instance, is a language few artists have discovered or used, although it belongs to all of us.' A close look at Brown's work reveals the influence of the shibui esthetic, which combines sumptuous detail with simplicity, luxury with understatement, and delicate pattern with the patina of centuries.
Alexander Brown's work is based on the language of elementals - circle and square, rectangle and disc, intersecting arcs and organic symmetry. Brown incorporates ancient Eastern influences with the intelligence of contemporary Western art. The result is a long series of perfectly balanced meditations in steel and stone."
~ Suzanne Deats, Arts writer, Santa Fe
"I view my work as a marriage of thought, intuition, esthetics, and stubbornness. The esthetics involve the nature of the materials as well as my fascination with the harmony and counterpoint of spatial relationships. Invisible or spiritual order is analogous to material order. Design is the elixir of creating, stubbornness the glue of technical realization.
"Persistence is how I have managed to work through two decades in the changing art world of Santa Fe, but it is a cultural osmosis of a greater art world that helps inspire my vision."

Top Chef goes to lunch,more Hell's Kitchen fury and the Emmy nominations
A little irony was served up with last night's Quickfire challenge on Top Chef,as those who botched the pineapple desserts were reminded as Padma showed them all what food item had to be creatively used;frozen pie crusts. Hung made a chocolate mousse filling that didn't fully set before he served his dish but thought that his flavors would make up for the messy-mess there. That didn't cut ice with guest judge Martha Fromkin,who ranked him as one of the worst.
Joey turned out to be the QF winner( he mentioned in one of the camera asides that he does have some pastry experience that he's been keeping quiet about)and went into the Elimination Challenge with immunity. This time out,everyone had to cook a Latin dish to serve up to the cast of telenovella Dame Chocolate for lunch. Originally,the chefs were told that they had three hours to cook but Judge Tom arrived at the start of their prep and told them that since the lunch was moved up,they only had an hour and a half to make their dishes.
This made everyone extra special nervous;Hung was pretty much in frantic mode and he nearly knifed Casey as he whipped around with one of those ginormous blades upright in his hand. Dude,didn't anyone ever teach you how to carry a knife in the kitchen? You hold it either down at your side or with the handle pointed out when giving it to someone else,keeping the blade out of harm's way! Geez,all of those cooking tips from my mom seem smarter and more sensible when I watch these cooking competitions.
Joey was having a great week,as his bean stew was chosen as one of the top dishes served at the lunch. Howie,who was also in the Top Two,kept raving about how delicious it was and that it was his favorite plate at the lunch. I'm glad to see those fellas starting to get along,after that nasty fight they had a couple of weeks ago.
Their new found friendship was further sealed,as Howie won the challenge and recieved a nice bottle of wine,which he promptly gave to Joey! That showed real class,in my opinion. Howie's starting to grow on me,but I do have agree with Joey's earlier comment(made in a friendly way) that Howie does overly rely on pork. You gotta use some of the other white meats out there,dude,or the judges will rip you a new one on that at some point. Trust me on this.
There were four folks put up on the chopping block(they are really getting tough on these elims-used to be only three people called to the carpet back in the day),one of whom was Hung. His "arrozo con pollo" aka chicken and rice ,was not up to par which seemed to confuse him. Judge Tom told him that the rice was dry and tasted underseasoned and Hung's response was "Oh,I thought I was in trouble for over seasoning." and "The rice didn't want to make you spit it out and drink water." Uh,no but it still was crap cooking there. Someone needs a big slice of humble pie,right quick!
Lia was the one who had to pack her knives and go,for her trout and polenta cake which was deemed very bland. I thought Casey might've been tapped,since her attempt at making a coffee mole sauce went south fast. Judge Gail said it had a "bitter,licorise" taste which sounds yicky to me. I'm not a big fan of chicken with sauce to begin with and not into coffee,so I would be inclined not to eat that dish on first sight. Then again,she did wrap the chicken in bacon,which is usually a winner so I would've gone for it. Better luck next time,Casey!
I will be so happy when they finally get rid of Bonnie on Hell's Kitchen. The Red Team lost out on the leftover challenge,due to Bonnie wasting most of the thirty minute time limit by yammering about what to cook(and her steak and egg suggestion to Jen crapped out). As their punishment,the ladies had to not only clean the kitchen but check in and unload the daily delieveries. Guess who was in charge of checking them in and totally forgot to make sure everything was correct? If you said Bonnie(who whimpered and whined instead of figuring out how to fix things),give yourself a gold star!:
The fellas had fun playing paintball with Ramsey(who whipped their butts)and gleefully refused to help the ladies out with the boxes as they trooped back home. The big elimination challenge was for the teams to create their own menus for the dinner service. They had to come up with three of each course,appetizer,entree and dessert. Brad's ideas made up most of the men's offerings while Julia's suggestions were ignored. Ramsey didn't let the girls get away with that and had Julia's steak and shrimp placed on the menu. I am so sick of this "Oh,Julia doesn't know anything" attitude that both Bonnie and Jen give her. I didn't like Jen's look when Julia asked her about ahi tuna,like she was so shocked that anyone needed knowledge on that.
Part of running any business is training people,either in new procedures or to do things in a certain way that works best for that particular workplace. Is it too much to ask that a chef should be willing and able to show another how to make a dish that person may not be familar with? I've never worked in a restaurant but it seems to be a group effort to make a kitchen run well and if you're not willing to be a team player,what's the point of doing this?
Julia made some major brownie points,as her surf n' turf entree was the most requested on the Red menu. Go,Julia,it's your birthday,yeah! Bonnie's bacon wrapped rabbit took long to cook and she totally lied to Ramsey when he asked whose idea it was-"it was a team collaboration,Chef!" No,it was not,Missy! No wonder that Jen didn't want to speak with her all evening:
It was down to Bonnie and Brad on the chopping block and Brad was sent home. That was probaly due to him not coming to Josh's aid on the meat station after Ramsey told both Rock and Brad to help him out. Not cool,dudes. Team work,people! Even Ramsey told them all that at the end of this episode. They would do well to keep that in mind as next week,the remaining chefs will be put into one team.
Another good episode of The 4400 this week,as Kyle and Isabelle find Jordan Collier and his cohorts,Tom gets some insight into the potential for positive results from Promicin newbies and Sean has a rude political awakening. Those dreams of Maia's about Promicin People being shipped off to an internment camp are troublesome. I know that Diana's doing all she can there,but maybe something more drastic needs to make sure that Maia's nightmares remain just that,nightmares.
Had to admit that they got me with that whole"Tom's going to get the shot" bit and why is it that Kyle is so trusting of those prophecies? How can he be so sure that all of the people destined to take Promicin on that list will survive? It says they change the world but that doesn't mean that they have to live to do that! Perhaps,I question too much.
Random Notes:
The 2007 Emmys: the nominations were announced today and I must first give out my boos: No Gilmore Girls noms(the Sopranos weren't the only ones to have a final season,you know!)and why do Two and a Half Men and Brothers and Sisters have so many nods? I know folks watch TAAHM,but wasn't Brothers and Sisters cancelled already?
And now for the cheers: Heroes is up for Best Drama and Masi Oka has a Best Supporting Actor nom-Hiro Nakamura could get an award,yes! Ugly Betty,up for Best Comedy with America Ferrara and Vanessa Williams in the actress catagories,sweet! Minnie Driver got a Best Drama nod for The Riches,Denis Leary is again up for Best Actor and the summer miniseries The Starter Wife scored as well,with a Best Miniseries nom and Judy Davies getting a Best Supporting,along with Joe Mantegna. Oh,and Jenna Fischer was nominated for Best Supporting for The Office! I may actually have to watch the Emmys this year.
To celebrate,here are a few clips to showcase some of the nominees:

Very interesting recap. It's not just your Mom who knows how to handle knives in the kitchen.
What Hung did would be grounds for dismissal in every Professionally Run restaurant in the Nation.

True,Artful,but it constantly amazes me that some of the basic things my Mom taught me about cooking(like Melissa from Hell's Kitchen not putting cut potatoes right in water)seem to be complete mysteries to many of these young chefs-in-training.
Hung's attitude is going to lead him into some big trouble down the line,makr my words.

I love Hell's Kitchen! Just got into it at the end of this season. I'm thinking Julia seems the best, and Rock (although I despise his personality)

Don Resnick, the renowned Rockville Centre-based painter, who died in 2008, was captivated by the beauty of land and sea – on his beloved Long Island and in Maine, where he and his family summered for many years.
Nature was his muse, reflected in his prolific output of paintings that express the joy he found in the natural world around him. His legacy is on view in "Don Resnick: Essence of Place," the current exhibit at Hofstra University Museum's Emily Lowe Gallery, which runs through Aug. 15.
This compelling exhibition features Resnick's landscape paintings, drawings, watercolors and sketchbooks that highlight his interest in and commitment to preserving the natural environment.
"'Essence of Place' conveys the essential and eloquent beauty of the land, sea and sky on Long Island and surrounding the Resnick family enclave in Maine," said curator Karen T. Albert, the museum's associate director of exhibitions and collections, in her exhibit statement. "Resnick's deep commitment to the environment is evidenced through his visual messages that urge us to protect our estuaries, forests, fields and coastlines."
Resnick was born 1928 in New York City, and lived and worked from his home-studio in Rockville Centre from 1957 until his death. He was a student of Oskar Kokoschka, Raphael Soyer, Seymour Lipton and Julian Levi. He studied at Hobart College, The School for Social Research in New York City, and the Internationale Akademie fur Bildende Kunst in Salzburg, Austria.
"My husband loved painting and painted his entire life," said Jeanette Resnick, a pianist. "We shared many happy times together. While he would be in his studio working, I would be working on my music."
When Hofstra came calling, a little over a year ago, Jeanette Resnick opened up her husband's studio to Albert and Beth E. Levinthal, Hofstra University Museum's executive director, and collaborated with them in selecting works that would become the focus of this retrospective.

A Scottish airline has won a contract to operate the world's shortest flight, on a route in the Orkney Islands where journeys can last as little as 47 seconds.
The regional airline Loganair will continue to operate flights between Westray and Papa Westray islands, fending off competition from two rival operators.
The distance between the two locations stands at slightly more than a mile (1.6km) and can be travelled in as little as 47 seconds depending on the direction of the wind.
The Scottish airline has been running the world's shortest flight since the start of its inter-island service in the region in 1967. The flight between Westray and Papa Westray is currently priced at £21 ($A32) return.
The eight-seat Islander aircraft has also transported pupils from Papa Westray to Westray Junior High in 2009, when the ferry service between the islands was withheld during its refurbishment.
The travel writer Bill Bryson has previously cited Papa Westray as one of his favourite places in Britain.
The new three-year contract begins in April and the service will provide both passenger and freight transportation.
At the other end of the spectrum, the world's longest lasting flight, running between Singapore and New York on Singapore Airlines, is expected to stop its services at the end of this year.
Qantas will then become the airline flying the world's longest route by distance, with its flights from Sydney to Dallas-Fort Worth covering 13,804 kilometres.

After directing the same church orchestra for over 30 years, Jerry has felt a burning desire to share his talent and heart with a hurting world in the throes of crisis. His passion is to use music to rekindle that spark of joy . . . and to inspire hope in the many who seem to see no light at the end of their tunnel. And so, with God's thumb in his back he's bringing a wealth of experience as a recording artist, conductor, composer, arranger and pianist . . . to the concert stage and worship scene.
Since losing his first wife to cancer, Jerry married Rachel and, together, they are on a mission that has their arms wrapped around the world - particularly Africa where, with every opportunity, Jerry shares his piano concert ministry. Rachel's particular calling is to develop peer groups to deal with the huge AIDS pandemic in Africa. The Nelson's concert ministry on the home front, is the primary means of support for their mission outreach.

raycampbell necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 84 diseños de 37 diseñadores freelance.
We are in the process of redesigning and relaunching Spain-Info.com. This contest is for a logo to use with the new site design.
Desired Color Scheme:
Reminiscent of Spain, as described
Desired Style:
Clean, crisp, contemporary, professional
Accepted File Formats:
Adobe Illustrator Vector
We are in the process of redesigning and relaunching Spain-Info.com. The site design goal will be to arrive at a somewhat less garish design, with colors more dominated by something like a beige like #FFE09F than the current orange. We will implement a site design that works well with accent colors appropriate for Spain - for example, a design that works with accent colors from the Spanish flag or the tan and ochre colors of the Spanish countryside.
This contest is for a logo to use with the new site design.
The logo should be fresh and clean looking, with a color scheme that evokes Spain (again, either drawing on the colors of the Spanish flag or colors reminiscent of Spain such as the tan and ochre of the Spanish soil).
It must be provided in Adobe Illustrator vector format. No payment will be made unless the file is provided in Adobe Illustrator vector format so that the file can be altered and used as we need.
Because there are way too many sites with Spain and Info in the name, any text in the logo should include the Spain-Info.com in a clear and non confusing way.
We will provide comments on every entry submitted.
Closing for the contest is midnight, February 28, Greenwich Mean Time.

North Carolina has received four national economic distinctions so far this month, including being hailed as the #1 state for starting a business, the #5 best state for business, the #5 best state for budget solvency, and one of only 12 states in the country with a unanimous 'AAA' bond rating.
Fit Small Business, a Madison Avenue research and consulting firm, released a study on July 3 calling North Carolina the #1 state for starting a business, citing "the state's labor market and taxes as driving an ideal environment for business owners."
CNBC ranked North Carolina as #5 in this year's "America's Top States for Business," scoring 66 different measures of competitiveness and an array of input from business and policy experts, official government sources, the CNBC Global CFO Council and the states themselves.
The Mercatus Center at George Mason University, in ranking the states by fiscal condition, says that North Carolina is #5 for Budget Solvency. The rankings noted that North Carolina's state revenues exceed budget expenses by 12 percent, and the fact that we've amassed substantial revenue surpluses and a $1.8 billion rainy day reserve fund. North Carolina ranked #15 overall for financial health.
North Carolina State Treasurer Dale R. Folwell announced last week that the nation's three major bond rating agencies – Fitch, Moody's and S&P – have all reaffirmed the state's "AAA" bond rating, making North Carolina one of only 12 states to obtain a unanimous top-tier evaluation. A Fitch's rating agency financial memo credited North Carolina's "conservative financial operations and long-term prospects for continued economic expansion, rebuilt rainy day fund, demonstrated controls over spending, and revenue growth all as strong factors in the state's financial flexibility. "Recent economic growth in North Carolina has been accelerating and future growth is expected to be stronger," the financial memo supporting the state's 'AAA' bond rating said.

Easy programming beyond standard features
I've successfully used IFTT to set my Nest thermostat to run the fan for 15 minutes with one touch on a single widget button. This is very desirable to remain asleep instead of fumbling with the tiny controls on the Nest app itself, or having it tilt from portrait to landscape mode on you. Setting a fan to run for 15 minutes on the Nest app is a multi-step process that wakes me up when I need to sleep. I would love to see a widget button presentation that maximizes the description font size and offers color background differences to better distinguish one widget command from another. I solved this by minimizing my widget buttons and programs to the three that work well. Keep up the good work!
OK but needs some back end debugging
After creating and using an applet or service that passes through any one of thousands of Amazin(sic) Server Farms (your day to day activities and search, browsing... "Your Life " databank). If you just turn an applet or service off and it was accessed via "the farm," it will continue to send the command as if the applet or service was not disabled: the events are still in the database as active unless the IFTTT app is disassociated from the background service by removing the service/applet, logging out of IFTTT, removing it then restarting your IOS device. If you reinstall the app, sometimes they clear, sometimes not...depends on the farm's archiving method of overwrite or restore. Reminder activities are the worst; why, because they are always archive and restore. The only way to delete them is to completely delete the reminder from however many calendars, emails, lists... then remove the service or applet association to every account, IFTTT... a real nuisance
