A revolution is under way in educating students in the molecular life sciences. For a number of years, there has been a series of reports and white papers talking about how the education of students in the life sciences needs to be revamped for the 21st century. The most recent, released earlier this year, is "Vision and Change in Undergraduate Biology Education: A Call to Action"(1), a report of a national discussion by the American Association for the Advancement of Science with support from the National Science Foundation. The report is centered on several basic premises represented by the first three chapters: undergraduate biology education for all students, cultivating biological literacy, and student-centered undergraduate biology education. It concludes with two important chapters about implementation of the ideas in the report.
The principal focus of the second chapter is the need for education to focus on core concepts of the biological sciences and core competencies and disciplinary practice rather than simply breadth of knowledge. The chapter, in part, emphasizes understanding what students have mastered and suggests that three questions (2-4) should be considered in course or program design:
1. What knowledge and skills are relevant to the subject area? What should students know and be able to do at the end of the unit or course?
2. What do proficiency and mastery in the subject area at this level in the curriculum (e.g., an introductory course or capstone seminar) look like?
3. What evidence would I accept that a student has achieved proficiency or mastery across the relevant content and skills identified in item 1? What evidence would convince my colleagues?
These three questions helped inform the Research Coordination Networks – Undergraduate Biology Education project "Promoting Concept-Driven Teaching Strategies in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology through Concept Assessments," which the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology received funding from the National Science Foundation to implement (5). Now in its second year, the project is at the center of many of the society's undergraduate-education initiatives, dovetailing with the work of the Education and Professional Development Committee on both accreditation and revision of its curricula recommendations (6).
Two key features of the project involve developing a consensus concerning
1) the foundational concepts from biology, chemistry, mathematics and physics that underpin the molecular life sciences as well as unique foundational concepts of the molecular life sciences and the requisite skills and competencies that a student graduating with a degree in biochemistry and molecular biology should have and
2) developing appropriate assessment tools that can be used both formatively and summatively to determine whether a student has benefitted from his or her education, whether in a given class or from the curriculum as a whole.
One of the goals of the Vision and Change initiative is to move students away from rote memorization of facts and toward a deeper understanding of the concepts and processes of science to better prepare them for the many challenges they face in the future. Many would argue, and I have myself (7, 8), that this means changing the way we educate students, but often missed in the discussion is the reality that it also means changing the way we assess student outcomes.
In addition to using validated assessment approaches and instruments, I believe we need to completely rethink when and how frequently we assess student outcomes. If we are interested in students acquiring long-term conceptual understandings of material and competency with skills, it makes no sense to focus our grade giving on frequent quizzes and tests (although students love those because they know exactly when to study – i.e., the night before – and what to memorize), as these foster exactly the wrong type of learning.
It is far better to use a variety of forms of continual assessment that build to give a picture not only of what a student really understands (summative assessment) but also of where an instructor may be failing to get the message across (formative assessment) over time to not only re-emphasize key points but also try other strategies. Of course, in a curriculum that really works, topics and skills can, in true Aristotelian fashion (9), be introduced, developed in detail and reiterated, all with appropriate assessment. I suspect that one of the hidden premises of Vision and Change is that by focusing on foundational concepts and skills, we should be able to carve out time in a course or curriculum to allow students to master material and not simply memorize.
The first year of the ASBMB's RCN-UBE project involved both regional and national gatherings and focused on initiating network-building and discussion of the foundational concepts and competencies of the molecular life sciences. The first year's activities culminated with a workshop and core working-group meeting held in conjunction with the meeting titled "Student-Centered Education in the Molecular Life Sciences II" sponsored by the society and held at the University of Richmond in July.
After the meeting, the working group met for another day and a half to assess progress and plan the project's second-year activities. The working group consists of the primary investigators and co-PIs of the grant and 12 other members: Joe Provost, Ann Wright, Kristin Fox, Ben Caldwell, Terry Platt, Cynthia Peterson, Peter Kennelly, John Tansey, Teaster Baird, Brenda Kelly, Jason Sello and Takita Sumter. All were chosen to represent different interests and geographical diversity.
During the coming year, five physical meetings and one virtual meeting are planned together with a symposium and workshop at the 2012 ASBMB annual meeting in San Diego.
Regional RCN-UBE workshops will be held at Moravian College in Pennsylvania, at Northeastern University in Massachusetts, at Hope College in Holland, Mich., and in the San Diego and Knoxville, Tenn., areas over the next six months or so. A virtual meeting will be held in May.
At the ASBMB annual meeting in April, there will be a symposium the morning of April 24 featuring talks on "Defining Foundational Principles and Concepts," "Developing Assessments for Foundational Concepts," and "Helping Students to Access and Assess Knowledge" as well as short talks selected from submitted abstracts. The symposium will be followed in the afternoon by an RCN-UBE working group meeting and workshop (open to anyone) that will focus in more detail on assessment-tool development.
So, in the immortal words of Bob Dylan (10), "Come gather 'round, people" – after all, the project is all about network building for a common cause – "for the times they are a-changin'."
Vision and Change is a call to action, and we need everyone interested in student-centered education in the molecular life sciences to join the discussion. If you are planning to be at the ASBMB annual meeting in San Diego, submit an abstract on your ideas of how to assess student understanding and take the opportunity to get involved in the RCN-UBE project.

WASHINGTON — In the dark of night, when they get what little sleep they get these days, the people running the campaigns for president have more than enough fodder for nightmares. Worse, come daybreak, they realize their worst fears may yet come true.
Dancing in their heads are visions of recounts, contested ballots and lawsuits. The possibility that their candidate could win the popular vote yet lose the presidency. Even the outside chance of an Electoral College tie that throws the contest to Congress.
Now add to that parade of potential horrors one more: a freakish two-in-one storm that could, if the more dire forecasts prove correct, warp an election two years and $2 billion in the making.
Despite the meticulous planning, careful strategies, polling, advertising and get-out-the-vote efforts, the election could produce the sort of messy outcome that defies expectation and prognostication. Polls show such a tight race between President Obama and Mitt Romney heading into this final week that the two sides are playing out any number of wild possibilities.
The approach of Hurricane Sandy reminded them just how out of their control democracy can be.
"Obviously, we believe the more people participate in the election, the better," said David Axelrod, the president's senior strategist, "and the storm can be disruptive. But to the 50 million people in its path, there are more immediate and potentially grave concerns that transcend politics. We'll have to wait and see its impact."
The storm forced both candidates to scrap campaign stops and, with eight days until Election Day, will require Mr. Obama to balance the roles of president in an emergency and candidate. That could benefit or hurt him, depending on how voters view his performance, and distract from efforts by both camps to advance a closing argument.
Early voting, which Mr. Obama has counted on to bolster his chances of a second term, will most likely grind to a halt in some places along the Eastern Seaboard, while power failures could last much of the week and conceivably until Election Day in some places. It went unnoticed by no one that Virginia, among the most tightly contested states, may be among the most affected.
Meteorology is only one wild card facing the campaigns in the final week. On Election Day, the winner may not be known right away; results in one or more states may be close enough to merit recounts. In Ohio, which could decide the election, so many provisional ballots may be cast — and by law are not counted right away — that it may be mid-November before a winner is declared.
"The Boy Scout motto comes in handy — be prepared," said Bradley Blakeman, a Republican strategist and veteran of George W. Bush's recount fight in Florida. "I know that lists of local lawyers and national legal talent are amassed and will be deployed if need be. After the recount in 2000 and the nail-biter in 2004, the G.O.P. is ready with multiple scenarios already modeled."
The campaigns are so worried about every electoral vote that a pro-Romney "super PAC" even invested in ads in Maine, a largely Democratic state, because it allocates some electoral votes by Congressional district and Republicans have a chance of picking up a single vote there.
Of all the messy outcomes, the one that seems likeliest is a candidate's winning the presidency through the Electoral College despite losing the popular vote, as Mr. Bush did in 2000. If it happens again, it might be in the opposite way, with the Republican, Mr. Romney, in range of a popular plurality and the Democrat, Mr. Obama, with an apparently easier route to an Electoral College victory.
Charlie Cook, a well-known political handicapper, said the chance of that happening was 10 to 15 percent. Stanley B. Greenberg, a longtime Democratic pollster, put the odds at "one in three."
"Not trivial," Mr. Greenberg said of the chances. "If that happens, it is because the anti-Obama vote, mostly in the South, turns out in big numbers," while the pro-Obama vote is not as overwhelming in Democratic states but pulls him over the top in vital places like Ohio, Iowa and Nevada.
If Mr. Obama wins a second term while losing the popular vote, it would again throw a harsh spotlight on the Electoral College, an artifact of the 18th century. Each state has one elector for each of its members in the House and Senate. With 538 electors, it takes 270 to win. If no one does, the House decides who will be president.
In 1800, Thomas Jefferson and Aaron Burr received the same number of electoral votes. The House sided with Jefferson. In 1824, none of four candidates received an electoral majority, and John Quincy Adams won in the House although he trailed Andrew Jackson in both the popular and the electoral votes.
Two other presidents, Rutherford B. Hayes in 1876 and Benjamin Harrison in 1888, won in the Electoral College even though they lost the popular vote.
The Electoral College has been attacked almost from the start. Over 200 years, more than 700 proposals to eliminate or revise it have been introduced in Congress, and more constitutional amendments have been proposed to change the system than on any other subject, according to the National Archives. A Gallup poll last year found that 62 percent favored a constitutional amendment making the popular vote decisive.
"If you were to have a repeat of that except the popular vote winner was the Republican and the Electoral College winner was the Democrat this time, then you would have had each party burned by the Electoral College over the course of 12 years, and that might be conducive to a serious look at reform," said Robert W. Bennett, a Northwestern University law professor who has written extensively on the Electoral College.
Less likely is a tie, 269 to 269. If that happened, strategists envision an intense postelection campaign of state-by-state recounts, lawsuits, qualification challenges, efforts to flip electors, horse trading and pressure on members of Congress. The result would be a highly volatile 11-week obstacle course to Inauguration Day that would leave the country uncertain for a time about its next president and potentially undermine the credibility of the winner.
"If this election does require some extra innings, we have plans in place to deal with that," said Bill Burton, a former Obama aide and co-founder of a super PAC supporting the president. "But the odds of that are infinitesimally small."
If recounts did not change any Electoral College votes, both sides could lobby electors to switch before they met in state capitals on Dec. 17. While more than half the states have laws intended to force electors to cast ballots for the popular vote winner in their states, there have been "faithless electors." In 2004, a Democratic elector in Minnesota wrote in John Edwards's name instead of John Kerry's.
If no electors flipped, the issue would go to the newly elected House. Each state gets one vote, meaning that Delaware has the same power as California. In the current House, Republicans control 33 delegations, while Democrats have 16 and 1 is split. Few analysts believe the election will change the House enough to shift that balance.
That would give Mr. Romney the advantage, although pressure would intensify if Mr. Obama won the popular vote. But even if Mr. Romney wins in the House, there is an extra wrinkle: The vice president would be chosen by the Senate, which may remain in Democratic hands.
If the Senate is deadlocked, the tie could be broken by Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr., presumably voting for himself.
And the nation could wind up with President Romney and Vice President Biden.

Her Majesty's kindness to tbe BtiSfeftftg of h-er pwn sex is proverbial. It ifl du record that when Mrs. Warner, a tragic actress of excellent character, was ill ol disease which dltimstely carried ber to her grave, the Queen sent a carriage every day that she might have the advantage ol pure air. On her return home the Queen spends an.hour jn ber private boudoir or library,and then dresses for dinner. A dinner at the palace has al .vays been a very stately, dreary,- tedious affair. Tbe table service isof course superb—geld plate, Sevres.porcelain, alabaster vases, (lowers, brilliant chandeliers, servants in scarlet coals and powdered heads, a military baud performing in an anteroom, and many ladies and gentlemen at table in full dress costume. A profound silence reigns throughout the meal. only broken by the voice oftbe Queen, addressing herself to one or other of the guests, who are expected to limit themselves to a direct reply. Geueral conversation is carried on in whispers only. A great variety of wines are drank at the royal table, the Queen and Prince Albert confining themselves chiefly to German (Rhine)'wines. After dinner the party adjourns to the Drawing- rooms, and there the Queen casts aside ali fceremo ny, and. gives herself up to innocent pleasure, anc the promotion of the enjoyment of her guests and If lhe party be not large, a chamber con- Cert or a dance is improvised, the Queen hersel taking a prominent part in the singing and dancing The objects of interest to the stranger in the suit of tJVavvitig-fooms are numerous, and tbc Queen is not slow to invite attention to, aud explain tbem —a hospitable office; in which she is cordially sus- tained by tbe Princes and Princesses, aud the ladies f the household. Tbere are magnificent vases; Rtfttues of marble, bronze and alabaster : glorious pictures by the first masters, ancient and modern ; portfolios o( engravings, musical in struments. curious articles ol vertu &c. All is life and abandon. At half past eleven or earlier, the Queen retires, gracefully courtesying to the company, the ladies in-waiting and tbe lady guests acknowledging tbe obeisance by sinking to the very ground. Such, briefly sketched, is an ordinary Qu^eu's day Circumstances occasionally happen to vary the routine. There is a revifiw of twenty thousand soldiers at Aldershott, or pf forty thousand volu teers in Hyde Park, or of a fleet at Spithead.

A ''Drawin'g-roou-i''' at St. James's Piiace is. a grand affair. It is then that the aristocracy makes ita greatest display. The exquisite beauty of th1-' youthful ladies who are to be presented is exhibited to the greatest advantage, the vtarmth of the Weather (it is May) admitting of the dressed being worn very low ;' the dowagers blaze with tho family diamonds; the major part of the noblemen and gentlemen rejoice in military or natal attire ; the Embassadors and Ministers are grand in their gold laced coats, swords and bags ; the guards are id their newest uniform ; the carriages are of every hue, the panels emblazoned with rich coats of arms, and the hammer cloths composed of embroidered velvet or costly woolen fabrics; the coachman and servants are all velveteen, plush, siik Blocking: powdered wigs, and vast bouquets ; and thc proud horses, caparisoned with silvered harness, snort and paw the ground, challenging a part of tbe admiration bestowed by tbe thousands who crowd tbe streets near the palace upon the vehicles and their handsome occupants. An introduction to the British Court—in other words, a presentation to thc Queen, which does not always carry the presented beyond the precinct** of ihe Court--is effected after this wise :' A person desirous of being pr-pscnted. seeks the favor o! some nobleman or titled lady who has already enjoyed the privilege. 'Eire, or" she writes ou two cards the name ofthe person to bc presented and that ol tbe.introducer.

It says "The two Irish companies having been fent oat of the way on purpose, the Maine regiiueiiL tn arched ap to the church, auA after ghnting tbeir beasily minds by dficecrati&g the House of God. cutting and defacing the sacred symbols of rr ligiou, set lire to the Building and destroyed every thing. Tbe clergyman's dwelling house shared Lbe some fate. Nought waa respected, uctbing was saver]. The news of ibis outrages having reached lbe Irish companies, tbey rushed lo the scene wl wan ion destruction, but too late to save. Many acumlly Wept because of their inability to do good. Then, filled wiih hate at the doers of ibis mischief, and nnmiijdful ol the disparity of number?, tbey turned upou the down-easier)?, whin a street light ensued which could only be quelled by the ordering out ol tbe entire Yankee lurce, whose uofled efforis were necessary to disarm tlie Iwo companies. Tbe Irishmen were earned on board the gunboats in irons still defiant, and swearing yet lo wreak an ample vengeance upon lhe elab-eided sous of Maine. An Irish officer assured me be and his men were amply punished for fraternizing and fighting with such dastards as lliese Yankees aud although now in the minority tliey would yet land where tbe other Irish li*oops would bear thei story, and tbe fight would be renewed until sat islaction was had.'' property at sea, oor armies havo a right to burn and destroy theix private properly on land. Though this is not according lo the usages of modern war fare, there is nothing in it qi just, ai.d ii is po=si- ble the United Slates Go*.*, nimetit may yet be driven to adopt it, making a new law for IfewlT. Some time ago our government proposed lo (he Powers of Europe to -abolish the capture of all private property nt sea; but (hey refilsed to accept the proposition, and it may become nec-ssary now to take the matter into onr own hands, and either abolish Ihi. enemy's private property by sea and land, by agreement wiih tbe rebel governmeni or insist upon capturing it indiscriminately upon either elemert. We do not tike relalmtion: for tbere is no end 10 it, and it is mutual destruction wilhout benefit to either belligerent.. But il the privateers oi the Confederacy continue their operations something must be done either by sea land to put a stop to them.—N. Y. Herald. BAtt-rawo-HRs VKJwtra Iiwn-Cgads.—Th'e com* menlsof English journals on ihe operation'against Charleston heiruy the anxiety wilh which Ibey were regarded on the other side, not, merely ns lo the effect on the rebellion, but as being decisive ol the disputed question whether land can be made impregnable io the assaults of iron-clad vessels. Although the news of ths failure nf t.he at tack had not as yet reached them, they fully anticipated it, and arrived at tlie conclusion, from what bad already taken place, both at Charleston and the Ogeecbee river, tbat earthworks and ironclad forts were perfectly efficient against tlie most powerfully armed Iron-clad vessels that can be made. It is a favorite axiom tbat history repeats itself. So it appear, does military science. Alter Colt's revolving pistol was given to fhe world, it was discovered that iu the lower cf London were two or three rusty old muskets of Queen Elizabeth s time ,-liicb \ ■ineiph is true ted on ideu- idea ol covering ibe movable towers used to storm fortresses being thus clod. During r0ur first Revolution (for. like the French, m are now in position to refer to our civil wars in numerical order.) we turned earthworks (0 good account. Tbey frequently helped to make up fer the disparity in numerical strength aud discipline. At Sebasiopol ihe Russians employed them with equal advantage. But lor ite earthworks it would not have held ont half as long as it did. There is a Providence in all this. It was never intended lhat a single nation should override the wodd because of ils superior naval and engineering resources. It if well lhat Ihe English have thus early discovered that their great iron frigates are likely lo prove, failures for purposes of invasion.. The lesson laugh I by our Charleston defeat, is worth all lbe money and disappointment that it bas cost. Shall we Mock; God.—There appeared in tlie Providence Daily Journal a few weeks since, a poem by 0, AV. Holmes, seeded from the March number of tbe Atlantic Monthly. B'eUfcviqg in the taleut of tbe autbor. aiid knowing the good poetical taste of the journal, we read tbe article. Two lines impressed us particularly and forcibly We read and le-read tbem, ty be sure that we comprehended tbe true meaning. We will quote them : ''Lord strangle the monster that, strug-__les to birth Or mock us no mare with thy lungdom onEarthE There was no comment nor criticism nor censure aud tbey seemed to be fully endorsed by the Journal. We bave looked every day for some notice, from some quarter, of this blasphemous sentiment. It has passed away without comment. This may be the creed of the Rationalista or Free Thinkers, to which class we believe the Professor belongs, and tbe Atlantic .Monthly, aud perhaps the Pro- vioence Journal; but we know there are many in the coinnuinity who prefer the old religious seuti- mentaid ideas of the Lord's Prayer.

Fortunately, before the guard coidd Carrv tha orders into execution, a terrific raking fire was opened on Jackson's column by twei,'v pieced of artil- 'erv, from an eminence on the plank road, The first eight or ten shots flew over tbe heads ol the column, 'lho men and gunners dismounted, leaving horses and guns. Our artillery soon got the range with more precision, and the shell and round shot ricocbetted and ploughed through this dense mass of the enemy with terri.'ic --lEct. Sbelis were continually bursting, and the screams and groans of the wounded and dying couid be beard on every side- As an instance oftlie terrible effect ot this lire, one oftbe guard was struck by a solid shot just below the hips, sweeping off bell) liis legs. A battery came dashing up, but when then they got into tha vortes ol the fire the gunners fled, deserting their gnns, and could not be made toman them. An officer, splendidly mounted and equipped, attempted, in a most gallant manner, to rally them. A ball struck him on the neck, completely severing his bead from Ins body and leaving his spinal column standing. His body rolled to tbe ground, and the horse galloped to the rear. One of the shells struck a caisson full of artillery ammunition, whicli exploding, ascended in a cra'er of various colored flame, and showered down on the heads ofthe men below a mass of fragments of ebotand shell, Tlie loss inflicted hy ihis fire must have been terrible, placing considerable over 1.000 hors du combat and effectually breaking up the contemplated attack of the column. An officer of Jackson's staff subsequently stated that it was about 15 minutes after this that Gen, Jackson with staff advanced to the front to reconnoitre our position, having accomplished which he re* uni ed by a different path towards His own men who, mistaking bis approach for ibat ofa party of our cavalry, fired npon him, killing and wounding four of his staff, and wounding Jackson once in his light arm and twice tn the left arm and hand.

NEW YORK, Nov. 29 (UPI) -- Tony Musante, the actor who left his best-known role, "Toma," after one season, has died in a New York hospital. He was 77.
Musante's wife, Jane, said he was recovering from surgery at a New York hospital when he died Tuesday, The New York Times reported.
While he never became a major star, Musante had a full resume on stage, in movies and in television during a half-century career. He appeared with George C. Scott in 1971 in the movie "The Last Run," with Merryl Streep on stage in 1971 in "27 Wagons Full of Cotton" and in 2007 as Italian mobster Nino Schibetta in the TV prison drama "Oz."
In 1973, he accepted the role of a New Jersey police detective in ABC's "Toma" but said he wanted to be able to leave after a year. He did so, and the series morphed into "Baretta," starring Robert Blake, while Musante went on to the television movie "Judgment Day: The Court Martial of Lt. William Calley."
"People in Hollywood always asked him if he regretted it, but he really never did," Jane Musante told the Times. "He didn't become the household name, or make the money he would have had he done it. But he needed variety."
Musante also acted in a number of Italian movies.
Musante was born in Bridgeport, Conn. He met his wife, then Jane Sparkes, while both were students at Oberlin College in Ohio, and the couple married in 1962.


text: Eighteen of Northern Ireland's most significant contemporary printmakers present 35 works reflecting the styles, interests and concerns of the unique and vibrant culture of the country. Thanks to the pre-recession rise in the European economy and the end of factional violence in the region, Northern Ireland experienced a renaissance in which its cultural history and its contemporary art played equally starring roles. The artworks were created from a variety of techniques, including monotype, collagraph prints, monoprints, viscosity printing, and carborundum. Many of the featured prints offer a glimpse into ever-changing landscape of Northern Ireland – the dramatic coastline, the incredible color of the sea and the bleakness of the rain.

toddschechter necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 312 diseños de 54 diseñadores freelance.
Hi! I am starting to market my communications strategy and documentary production skills as an independent video producer directly for the first time. To facilitate developing more business and reflecting the professionalism in my work that I would expect my clients to expect from me I need a designer to help me build a real kick ass professional brand image for my new company. This visual brand will start with a logo, what this contest is for. It will also include extensions to other business applications such as business cards, invoice forms, fax cover page, and CD/DVD label sticker. The guaranteed prize of $230 will be awarded in return for the best logo design that matches the criteria laid out in the brief > and the logo that will serve as the best center point for a growing brand. After the contest is complete the winner will be expected to be willing to make minor alterations to the logo as required as well as commit to taking part in the next 99designs contest to follow for our business cards, letterhead etc.... Again, payment to the winner of this contest is be $230 and I have guaranteed that there will be a winner. In process of the contest I will be in regular communication with participants for feedback and thought on what has been submitted.
Kalicon Pictures
I am a former international documentary filmmaker who has spent the last year and a half starting a non-profit organization that integrates films into tools for educators. I am coming back to video production work to help pay the bills while the economy recovers and because I see big potential for documentary film as a tool for generating profit.
I have come to 99 designs because I need your help to make the next step in my vision a reality. By designing me a logo you will be not only helping me out you will make a difference in my life that I would be forever grateful for. This logo and eventual branding is important to me because I would like to prepare myself with the basic tools I need to present myself as the exacting professional with attention to detail that I am. I want my professional ethic and exacting standards to translate through into my logo and brand image.
It might be helpful for you to know that the reason I like our name, Kalicon Pictures is that it feels substantial. It is the kind of name that people think they have heard before even though they have not and the kind of name everyone pronounces correctly the first time they say it. What people do not realize is that Kal is the ancient Greek root for beautiful and icon the Greek root for image. I do not need random people to know that when looking at the logo but I share that information with you because it reflects something I like. What I like is that the name works as a whole on its own but also has depth to it, there is more there than just what's visible at the first look. I want a logo that takes this effect to the visual level.
As someone with a lot of branding marketing and communications experience describing what I am looking for in specifics other than what I have included here is difficult for me because I have not yet determined a definitive overarching unique selling proposition or positioning statement for the company that I would want to work into the logo and design. What I do know is that I am looking for something that looks very thought out and highly professional with great graphic design. The logo should impart excellence, attention to detail, strategic, effective.
I prefer a logo that will work well in a motion graphic scenario as well (aftereffects or flash) for use as a title card in a film or on a flash website.
**I have not concluded whether the logo should be a treatment of the name itself or if the logo should be an image to accompany the name that could stand on its own. I can imagine either working.
**In case it is helpful - consider that materials like a business card and other materials would feature references to the specific ways that we deliver that tag line.
For example:
Name: Kalicon Pictures
Tag(to be used in this contest but not final): harness the power of video
What we do:
- documentaries
- documercials
- documonials
- interviews
- web shorts
- training videos
- & video brand strategyWho we serve:
- Profit – impacting prospective clients, customers, partners and investors
- Non-Profit – impacting prospective donors, volunteers, foundations and board members
- & government sector clients – impacting prospective voters, supporters, and campaign workers
- Something that looks like it was expensive to make
- Something that exudes precision and professional attention to detail
- I like both clean geometric design (clearly computer facilitated) as well as the hand drawn sketch outlines llook… go figure
- Note: A company who does these things extraordinarily well is 2Advanced. Two of their older websites: http://v4.2a-archive.com/flashindex.htm and http://v4.2a-archive.com/flashindex.htm both exhibit how the logo is not a standalone piece of the brand experience but the centerpiece of a symphony that carries that message forward. In the latter you may notice hot the logo is deconstructed and flys away at one point of the loading experience
- Something timeless, clean, classy, if it were a machine it would be the inside of a very expensive wrist watch.
- I need something that looks good in both in color (if you decide it should have color) and in black and white for print outs and faxes etc
- I like the idea of the imagery having at least some fine lines. This website - http://www.hulapost.com/ - is an example example of how fine lines integrated into the design can exhibit precision and technical mastery which I like. Notice what happens when you mouse over one of the menu selections. To me this kind of design references the mechanism of the video and photographic industry which is cool.
- I love Leonardo da vinchi drawing that deconstruct biological subjects. And his drawings of machines. http://www.drawingsofleonardo.org/ I both like the style and the color schemes.
- I like engineering schematics and architectural plans, particularly when you can see both the external and some of the inner workings at the same time sometimes that is done with a section cutaway. Anything that references the innerworking of a precision machine. I also like imagery related to nature and nature has powerful brand recognition potential
- I encourage a logo design that features 2-3 colors including the color of the background but am open to alternatives.
- Note: Interesting stuff here - http://99designs.com/contests/19547 I like the potential for the logo as a watermark in letterhead submitted with entry # 137 and 139. This doesn't necessarily apply to what will work for Kalicon but I like the non-traditional usage of the logo and the idea that the logo and its theme for Kalicon can have use and application elsewhere outside the box. Submissions that demonstrate consideration for similar applications by sharing 1 or 2 ways this logo could appear in other business materials will receive additional weight in the review process. As mentioned in the summary these alternative uses could include traditional applications such as business cards, matching letterhead, invoice form, fax cover page, round CD/DVD label sticker, or simulation a title card before a movie that says "a Kalicon Pictures documonial" as a variation on the logo for example.
- I want a logo/name that when paired with the tag line would give a good sense of what we do and what to expect.
- Other words you might want to think about are film, filmmaker, story, and strategy.
- I do not want anything garish or campy
- I do not want anything cartoonish
- I do not want anything messy looking
- I do not want something that looks like it should be hanging in an elementary school bulletin board
- I do not want you to feel required to design on a stark white background
- I do not want metallic hues
- I do not want this contest to end with a bunch of variations on the same idea so try to take things in a new direction than what you see others have done. If something in particular seems like the specific direction that feels right I will notify everyone but until then if you have not yet started designing something assume I am looking for something else.
- Reminder - One you have submitted you can expect feedback within 24 hours on how you might improve your submission. These comments will be created specifically for your submission and I encourage that these notes not influence the approach of other designers directly so as to preserve variety in the submissions

The Star Spangled Banner has become the recurring theme in the sound track of Lindsey Vonn's career.
Vonn had heard the National Anthem played in honor of her victories so many times in the past -- once at the Olympics, twice at the world championships, 41 times on the World Cup circuit -- that it was getting a bit routine.
That's why her reaction to the same old song Saturday in Soelden, Austria was so telling.
Vonn shook her head in disbelief, smiled, then shook her head in disbelief again.
That's because so much about World Cup victory 42 felt like the first time for Vonn.
Four days after her 27th birthday, the first race of this World Cup season had given Vonn the first giant slalom victory of her World Cup career. It also made her the first U.S. woman -- and just fifth overall -- to win in all five of alpine skiing's disciplines and first U.S. woman to win a World Cup giant slalom in 20 years.
No wonder the greatest skier in U.S. history was happy and dumbfounded at the same time.
"It didn't seem real," Vonn said in a conference call Saturday. "I have been working so hard on my giant slalom for so many years, and it has always been a disappointment, the (event) that has failed me the most. It was just hard to believe I had finally won."
In 50 previous World Cup giant slaloms, Vonn had abject failure more than half the time, with 29 races in which she either failed to finish one of the two runs or failed to qualify for the second run. Only once before had she made a giant slalom podium.
But that third place came in the final GS of last season, so now Vonn has a two-race podium streak.
"This was a lot of relief, joy, excitement," Vonn said. "I felt it was kind of similar to the (2010) Olympics, where I had been working so hard to finally get on the top step."
That the victory came in this race and this place only increased Vonn's disbelief.
In six previous giants at Soelden, her best finish had been ninth.
"I've always dreaded Soelden," she said in a TV interview Saturday.
That fear only increased after she crashed on the course a week ago. Vonn said it left both her hip and confidence bruised. She missed five days of skiing and came into Saturday's race with just one day of training on the course.
"I bruised my hip pretty badly," she said on the conference call. "I was pretty nervous. I didn't really trust myself."
Even after she finished fourth in the first of Saturday's two runs, Vonn was hoping only to stay in the top five. But she won the second run and finished with an aggregate margin of four-hundredths of a second over Viktoria Rebensburg of Germany.
"I'm definitely excited by the way I've started the season," Vonn said. "I didn't expect it by any means.
"It gives me a lot of confidence for the rest of the season and honestly for the rest of my career. Now that I have done it (won a GS), I feel like my confidence in similar to where it is in Super-G and downhill (in which she has 35 of the 42 World Cup wins.)
The victory quickly allowed Vonn to put 93 points between herself and rival Maria Hoefl-Riesch of Germany in the overall standings. The two skiers, once close friends, have grown distant since the end of last season, when cancellation of the final race -- coincidentally a giant slalom -- left Hoefl-Riesch the overall winner by three points.
The German complained Vonn, overall winner the three previous seasons, had not given her enough props for the triumph. Vonn did not go to Hoefl-Riesch's wedding over the summer.
Vonn and Hoefl-Riesch worked through the issues while both were training in New Zealand last summer and decided to be neither buddies nor enemies.
"Maria and I are still friends," she said. "We both came to the decision we are just not going to talk about our friendship any more. We want the story to be about ski racing and not about tabloid drama. That's not good for either of us, and I don't think it's good for the sport."
Gotta disagree there. The tabloid tension would be great for a sport that struggles for attention, even in Europe.
But Vonn already is the U.S. rare skier to have become bigger than her sport. Saturday's win only adds to her giant profile.

At least 11 of the nearly 1,300 Palestinian prisoners on hunger strike in Israeli jails have been taken ill, a Palestinian rights group said Wednesday.
The 11 sick were among 92 prisoners who have been on hunger strike since the beginning of the month, according to Eissa Qaraqa, head of the Palestinian Prisoners Club in the West Bank.
He told AFP that they had been taken to prison hospitals and given glucose intravenously.
But an Israeli prison authority spokeswoman denied that any prisoners had been hospitalized and said that many of the hunger strikers have been eating in private.
The West Bank and Gaza Strip have been racked with violence for five straight days after marches held in solidarity with the prisoners deteriorated into stone throwing and fierce gun battles with Israeli soldiers.
At least four Palestinians were killed in the clashes and hundreds more wounded, including at least 20 Israelis.
Qaraqa said that in addition to those who began to hunger strike at the start of the month, 1,200 other prisoners have been fasting, only drinking water and milk for periods ranging from three to nine days.
But the Israeli official said some of the prisoners have been eating food that they purchased in prison canteens and accepting soup -- claims Qaraqa dismissed as "pure lies."
He said the prisoners would continue to starve themselves until conditions inside Israeli jails were improved and Palestinian and Israeli peace negotiators worked seriously to resolve the fate of some 1,600 inmates, jailed for anti-Israeli activities, many of them violent.
Qaraqa said the wave of violent protests, which newspapers have already begun to call "the Intifada of the prisoners," would likely continue because many Palestinians sympathize with the prisoners.
Palestinian officials believe that the prisoners should be given amnesty because they fought against Israel in the context of what they consider a legitimate national struggle.
Israel, however, officially considers them to be "security prisoners" and politicians often refer to them as "terrorists."
Since an interim peace accord signed between Israel and the Palestinians last September, Israel has released almost 400 prisoners – OCCUPIED JERUSALEM (AFP)

Another opportunity for Guild Drama
Actually, another chance for party drama of all sorts. One of the little discussed changes in the patch will be the change in "inspect".
There are children (maturity, not age) who will ridicule your gear. It's about to get worse, even though the tool is of magnificent benefit to class leaders. See, not only is the range at which you can inspect increasing to 25 yards, but now you'll be able to inspect talents as well.
No more asking the spec and at best getting a split. They'll know if you took lolwell, or didn't fully top out Shadow Focus.
Now as I said, for the mature this is going to be really, really useful. As leaders it gives us a chance to check things out in game without having to duck over to Armory (and hope it's up). As admiring competitors it lets us check out the player that's blowing everyone out of the water with heals and damage and see where we're different. Either way it gives us a basis for asking why this, and learning (or correcting) as appropriate.
But I foresee a host of people who've read the forums and think there is only One True Way for talent speccing – "You can't come, you don't have The Talent." (Or the backhanded companion – "Wow, you did great even if you didn't spec The Talent.")
Just… be prepared. For the immature will be with us always.
heh – and if you plan right, you can have some more fun.
One Response to "Another opportunity for Guild Drama"
Ahh now this will be interesting.
No more fury warriors wanting to tank. I perhaps think showing individual talents is too far and will cause the odd "you need this talent noob" comment.
Personally i would much prefer even a list of how many points are spent in each tree (e.g. 41/20/0).
This way you can easily tell how many points somone has in one tree, without seeing the individual point spend.
While already availiable on the armoury, its a step no one really bothers to take when forming a pug.

Colorado Rapids forward Edson Buddle has played 255 regular season games and scored 95 career goals. In 12 seasons he's only been shown 19 yellow cards - less than two per year - and never been ejected from a match.
However earlier this week, the MLS Disciplinary Committee suspended Buddle for one game after reviewing a play in which he was shown a yellow card against the Columbus Crew on May 11.
"I've never received a red card in a League game," Buddle told ColoradoRapids.com. "I'm sure they reviewed the play with a panel of people that look over it thoroughly, and that's what they came up with. I don't necessarily agree with the decision, and I'm sure some people here in Colorado disagree."
The Rapids won the match 2-0 thanks to an early goal from Buddle and another from Dillon Powers.
Buddle post-game: Road wins don't have to be pretty
Buddle will miss the Rapids' match on Saturday against the San Jose Earthquakes (8:30 p.m. MT, Altitude TV). But after scoring the game-winning goal in the last two matches, the veteran forward doesn't expect that missing one game will disrupt his return to form the following week when the Rapids host Chivas USA.
"I think I can jump right back in," Buddle said. "I wouldn't say I was on a run, it was just two games. Maybe there's a reason why I'm not playing. This is a learning experience and hopefuly won't make the same decision again."

Because it'll only be made in a small run, and because it's being made for a dead console that uses expensive cartridges, don't be too alarmed when I tell you how much it costs.
(It's pre-ordering for €399, which is around $520).
Adding to the novelty factor is the game's orientation; it's a proper vertical-scrolling shooter without the option to letterbox the game's display so that it fits on your widescreen TV.
Meaning that if you're going to play it properly, you need to turn your TV/monitor up and sit it on its side (though you can rotate the controls if that's absolutely impossible).
