Connecticut seeks financial aid for undocumented students
STAMFORD -- A statewide organization for immigration reform is rallying Connecticut's young men and women to stand up for undocumented students' access to financial aid.
In the first of several meetings planned for the next couple of months, Lucas Codognolla, lead coordinator for CT Students for a DREAM, explained a campaign to allow undocumented students to pay in-state tuition was successful a few years ago, but those students don't get access to financial aid, even though their tuition helps fund that aid for other students.
It's called institutional aid, he told a group of seven students and a parent at Stamford-based Neighbor Links on Friday night, and that's a pot of money that CT Students for a DREAM thinks could be open to help poor immigrants afford school.
"When you go to college, you pay tuition," Codognolla explained. "Under Connecticut statutes, under Connecticut law, a percentage of the tuition you pay has to go back to students in the form of financial aid."
A bill was proposed during last year's legislative session to do this, but it didn't pass.
Codognolla said this money is coming from the undocumented students, not from the state, and not from the federal government, so like other students paying tuition, they should be eligible to get it.
In Connecticut, students who are not citizens, but complete all four years of high school at a Connecticut institution will be charged in-state tuition rates instead of out-of-state rates. There are other provisions, including that the student cannot have committed a felony.
CT Students met in Bridgeport on the same issue on Saturday, and will be in Danbury at 2 Harmony St. at 2 p.m. this coming Saturday.
Their primary concern is that a lot of good students who have worked hard are still not able to attend college because in-state tuition is still beyond the means of their families.
No one at the meeting could say how many undocumented students attend Connecticut schools and are paying full tuition. As it is, they are not eligible for federal aid or loans, though they can take out private loans and win private scholarships.
One of the members, named Fay, told the group she dropped out of college five years ago because of the expense and hasn't been able to go back.
Codognolla, a Westhill High graduate, told his story at a CT Students for a DREAM event held Thursday at his alma mater with 47 students interested in going to college.
Born in Brazil, his parents moved to America when Codognolla was nine. He said they came here specifically to give him a chance to get a good education and he always expected to go to college. It wasn't until high school when he wanted to get his driver's license that he found out he wasn't a citizen. At that time, undocumented students like Codognolla couldn't get a license or get a job, so college appeared to be out of reach.
"I suffered a real identity crisis," he told the crowd at Westhill, describing how he spiraled into a depression. But a counselor helped him and together they learned that there was no bar from him going to college, except the cost.
That cost made college more difficult. He said he had to take a semester off and work to raise the money for the next semester. In 2012, a federal law allowed Codognolla and people like him, who were brought here as children illegally but who have otherwise been good citizens, to get driver's licenses and papers allowing them to work.
Several Westhill students said they were inspired by the presentation at their school, especially the potential for financial aid.
CT Students hopes the kids are inspired to act. At the meeting Friday night, the groups of students identified potential people and organizations that might help them get the word out.
The goal is to have as many as 3,000 people involved in a campaign with many more educated about the proposal.
Ultimately, the group hopes to engage the Connecticut State University System board of regents and the UConn Board of Trustees to create some way to access institutional aid.
Near the end of the meeting, Codognolla asked the students if they thought they had a chance to win access to financial aid.
"Of course," a soft-spoken high school student said. "We try hard."

Movie News & Reviews
'Love Happens': Happiness doesn't happen
Love Happens is a comedy in mourning, a romance so sad that even Jennifer Aniston at her most engaging can't save it. The writer of the deadly Dragonfly has been promoted to writer-director for this one, and despite having the same template as a hundred screen romances, he can't make it work.
Aaron Eckhart is Burke Ryan, the prototypical lonely man in need of love. He's a motivational speaker, a guy getting rich running self-help get-over-grief seminars. His hook, the one he cashed in on with his best-seller, A-Okay, is simple: "My wife died."
He and his manager (Dan Fogler, half as funny as usual) are about to turn that hook into a huge multimedia deal. But our lonely man has a dark secret. They all do.
Aniston is the quirky girl who can make him love again. Eloise is a florist who saves copies of the touching cards folks send with their flowers. She writes odd words from the dictionary like quidnunc behind the paintings at the Seattle hotel where Burke is giving a seminar. She has an oddball slam-poet employee-pal (Judy Greer, naturally). She even has the "car with character," a '60s vintage Ford Falcon delivery van. She has just bailed on her latest bad relationship. And when she meets Burke, she blows him off by pretending to be deaf.
Can these two lost souls find each other? Without him learning sign language?
Whatever thin potential Love Happens had is utterly botched by co-writer/director Brandon Camp, son of Benji filmmaker Joe Camp. He struggles to find a laugh in the first half-hour, delivers a nice comic confrontation that he never repeats and works in a funny bit about Burke's wife's cockatoo — he calls it a "parrot," which he bird-naps from his bitter in-laws (Martin Sheen and Deidre Blades).
But Camp bogs down in the Dr. Phil side of the story — Burke's efforts to "help" people and come to terms with his own grief. Eckhart plays "broken" for the whole movie and Aniston plays herself — as a florist.
Love Happens doesn't bring tears and, what's worse, doesn't create sparks. That's a crying shame.

AT&T is pushing out a Windows Phone update for the Nokia Lumia 900. We saw the Lumia 900 make the jump to Windows Phone 7.8 back in January and the latest update takes the OS version from 8858 to 8862 (2175.2307.8862.13100 to be exact).
According to NokiaCare, the update adds theme colors, lock screen improvements, fixes Live Tile issues and makes updated Nokia apps available. This is likely similar to the update Microsoft pushed out back in March to fix the issues we experienced with the original 7.8 update.
The update is cumulative and includes four seperate updates. We're in the process of updating our Lumia 900 and let you know more on this update shortly.
Thanks, everyone, for the tip!

Cruz in middle of GOP civil war
Ted Cruz is in the middle of an escalating GOP civil war on Obamacare, a risk that could turn into a major public relations debacle for the prospective presidential hopeful.
For the past few months, Cruz has been riling up the right, urging Republicans to use a government funding bill as leverage to defund Obamacare. But given Democratic control of the Senate and White House — and growing Republican reticence about shutting down the government — even Cruz's GOP supporters acknowledge there's virtually no chance his tactics will succeed.
Story Continued Below
Cruz's handling of the episode already is sparking criticism from House and Senate Republicans. At the same time, Republicans in each house are turning on each other in ways previously unseen on a goal they actually agree on — getting rid of Obamacare. The GOP rifts and deepening distrust are increasing the prospect of a government shutdown when the new fiscal year begins Oct. 1.
( QUIZ: Do you know Ted Cruz?)
Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.), the party's 2012 vice presidential nominee, vented about the House Republicans' frustration at the Senate GOP on Thursday.
"It's pretty palpable in our conference, I would say," Ryan told POLITICO. "You mean about how they're saying we're not going to fight, and back at you, we're not going to fight but forget about what we said earlier? Yeah, there's a bit of frustration. … We all believe the same thing, we all want to achieve the same goal, and so we shouldn't be questioning each other's conservatism over tactical disagreements."
On Wednesday, Cruz seemed to concede the battle to defund Obamacare was lost in the Senate, prompting a furious backlash from House Republicans who accused the Texas GOP freshman of surrendering in a fight that he had long demanded. So on Thursday, Cruz reversed course, signaling he may wage an old-fashioned filibuster like Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) earlier this year, talking as long as he could to prevent Democrats from passing a stopgap spending bill that would continue funding Obamacare.
( WATCH: Cruz: 'I don't trust the Republicans')
But because of the arcane nuances of Senate procedure, Senate Democrats and Republicans said there was virtually no way Cruz could hijack the floor and filibuster endlessly on the funding bill. The only way Cruz can succeed is if he convinces virtually all of his Senate Republican colleagues to side with him on his approach. And that seems highly unlikely given the deep skepticism voiced by many Republicans over Cruz's hardball tactics, including Senate GOP leaders.
"I think the biggest concern I've had all along is that to answer the question how does this end?" said Sen. John Cornyn, a fellow Texas Republican who serves as minority whip. "And I think that people are now beginning to realize that by being divided over this approach, that we've actually made the job harder for the House Republicans. That's something I would hope we would try to avoid."
Even Republicans who support using the continuing resolution to defund Obamacare agree that the effort is futile.
"There isn't anybody that thinks that Obamacare is going to get defunded. It cannot happen," said Sen. Jim Risch (R-Idaho). "It is as impossible as anything can possibly be in Washington, D.C."
( PHOTOS: 25 unforgettable Obamacare quotes)
Asked if he were prepared to see the government shutdown over the matter, Risch said: "We were elected to govern — you don't govern by shutting down the government."
Similarly, Paul — who backs the Cruz push but has taken a low-profile role in the latest effort — said he would vote against funding any program in Obamacare. But he added: "I think it's not a good idea to shut down the government."
Cruz faces political risks no matter the outcome. If a three-month funding bill fails in the Senate, Cruz will get the blame from both sides of the aisle for helping lead to a government shut down. If a bill passes the Senate that continues funding Obamacare, he'll be blamed by House Republicans for not mounting an effective fight in his chamber. And if there isn't enough time for the House and Senate to get a deal, this episode over Obamacare will certainly be singled out as one of the main culprits.
Still, conservative and tea party groups certainly are applauding his efforts, and Cruz is certainly not alone in pushing to defund Obamacare as part of the government funding bill. Helping lead the effort are Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), another prospective 2016 contender, as well as Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah), who circulated a letter with 14 signatures calling for Republicans to reject a continuing resolution, or CR, with a dime of funding for Obamacare.
But Cruz has been the most polarizing within the party, calling out wayward GOP senators in speeches and on talk radio, with his chief of staff even singling out Senate Republicans for joining a "surrender caucus."

Shares in solar panel manufacturer First Solar are selling off this afternoon after the company reported its first loss as a publicly trade company yesterday as revenue declined some 12 percent.
But the weakness at First Solar is nothing new.
The company, which has been on a steady free fall since last summer, has lost more than $10.8 billion in market cap from its peak, laid off more than 30 percent of its workforce, and has closed production lines.
The sudden turmoil came on quickly for one of the leading U.S. solar firms.
A Lack of Leadership
In October of 2011, the company abruptly announced its Chief Executive, Rob Gillette, would step down less than two weeks after Solyndra said its CEO had resigned. Shares in the company fell 19 percent that day.
Solyndra offered a look at the solar industry's short comings and worried investors that similar problems plagued First Solar.
The company operated with an interim leader, Mike Ahearn, who made tough decisions to forfeit markets that he saw as not salvageable.
This week First Solar announced its chief commercial officer, James Hughes, would be its new chief executive.
Investors have not yet found a reason to stick with the company, particularly after a long search process.
"While we like the fact that the CEO search is finally over, we question the promotion from within, especially after conducting an external search for more than 6 months," Deutsche Bank's Vishal Shah says. "The company suggested that the board could not find a qualified candidate — possibly with strong international utility background — to take up the job."
The Fall Of Germany
In February, Germany's environment minister Norbert Roettgen said the country would cut subsidies supporting the solar industry by as much as 30 percent.
The cuts, which had been expected, were far larger than the 15 percent decrease analysts had anticipated.
At its peak, Germany accounted for 46.8 percent of First Solar's core market installation capacity, built largely on these feed-in tariffs and clean-energy laws.
Roettgen, in a joint announcement with Economic Minister Philipp Rösler, called for an acceleration of the contraction of instate-mandated photovoltaic incentives to April 1, three months earlier than planned.
"With the new proposal, the royalty rates are halved compared to 2009. In view of the past two years of greatly increased volume, is the re-adjustment of funding," Roettgen said. "The goal is that in a few years, the photovoltaic market will be ready and make do without subsidies."
Without strong barriers to enter the solar market, competitors, particularly those in China, have rapidly built up capacity, pressuring profit margins at companies like First Solar.
"The solar industry is structurally imbalanced," First Solar CEO Mike Ahearn said on an investor conference call at the end of last year. "The easy re-entry of competitors will keep downward pressure on margins indefinitely."
The difficulties in Germany and much of its European business exacerbated troubles at First Solar, forcing it cut its workforce by some 30 percent in April, eliminating 2,000 positions across the company's global operations.
The company is now in the process of shuttering all of its operations in Frankfurt, Germany and plans to indefinitely idle some production lines in Malaysia, adding to reductions already taking place in Europe and the U.S.
First Solar hopes the layoffs will save it $30 to $60 million this year, and as much as $120 million a year in the future.
"After a thorough analysis, it is clear the European market has deteriorated to the extent that our operations there are no longer economically sustainable, and maintaining those operations is not in the best long-term interest of our stakeholders," Ahearn said at the time. "The solar market has fundamentally changed, and we are quickly adapting our market approach and operations to maintain and build upon our competitive advantage."
First Solar Announces A Five Year Plan
First Solar has been rapidly trying to execute on plans to transition from these subsidized markets to a manufacturer for electric utilities. The company set a goal to derive nearly all of its new orders from this more sustainable market by 2016, along with new regions like the Middle East.
During the most recent quarter, where it recorded an adjusted net loss of $0.08 a share on revenue of $497.1 million, First Solar laid out a five year plan to return to profitability.
By 2016 First Solar is targeting some 3 gigawatts in sales through these sustainable markets. Specifically, the company will partner with utility companies and develop solar fields.
"As a baseline, we are targeting, for the full year 2016 sales in the range of 2.6 to 3 gigawatts DC, which is the estimated annual module production capacity with our current factories in some of our spare equipment, with essentially all of the revenue coming from sustainable markets.
But Deutsche Bank's still views Shah still calls First Solar a show-me story.
"In most markets, the appropriate policy frameworks are currently not in place or still uncertain. Even in India, one of the markets where [First Solar] is achieving good success, risks around local content requirements and financing costs remain," Shah says. "It is also unclear if [First Solar] would have any success penetrating the Chinese solar market, which could potentially become one of the most important solar markets over the next 5 years."

Covariant shielding was an extremely powerful form of starship deflector shielding technology, difficult to penetrate with conventional weaponry.
The starship utilized by the interstellar fight promoter Penk to transmit Tsunkatse matches to various locations was protected by tetryon-based covariant shielding, along with reinforced hull plating and neutronic weaponry. In 2376, while attempting to rescue Lieutenant Commander Tuvok and Seven of Nine, who had been kidnapped by Penk and forced to compete, the crew of the USS Voyager engaged in combat with Penk's starship, and managed to weaken the vessel's shields enough to beam their kidnapped crewmembers aboard.

3/9/14 and 3/10/14: This week on "Fieldnotes:" "Bird Social Behavior," by Mark Hanson.
"Except when mating and nesting, Bohemian and Cedar waxwings are simply highly social birds. They seek food and water supplies large enough for the entire flock. Even more remarkably, they will sometimes pass berries from bird to bird down a line until a berry is finally swallowed. They not only eat together, but they may also become intoxicated together, indulging their tendency to gorge themselves on overripe berries."

Jadeveon Clowney might still be a Gamecock if NCAA had flashed cash
Jadeveon Clowney is about to make millions as a top five pick in the NFL Draft. He says that if he had been able to make a few bucks in college, he probably wouldn't have turned pro after his junior season.
"If (getting paid) helped me take care of my family, it would have made a difference," Clowney said in an interview with Showtime's Jim Rome on Wednesday (H/T CBSSports.com). "If had gotten paid and had a chance to take care of my family through college, I probably would have stayed and finished."

Rome's follow-up, of course, was to ask whether all college athletes should be paid. Clowney replied in obvious fashion:
"I think so. They're selling jerseys with your number and people (are) making money off ticket sales and all. I think college athletes should get paid."

New author, new book, new movement to end poverty for the more than 1 billion people living on about $1 per day. The book is called UnPoverty: Rich Lessons from the Working Poor. All proceeds from book sales to be donated to eight strategic charities - over 15,000 copies already pre-sold for September 1 release. Want to give people a resource to learn about the book, the author, and ways to get involved in the fight against extreme poverty.
This book is designed to reach anyone teen-aged and older who cares about poverty alleviation. Many readers will already be familiar with international development but as a collection of stories, UnPoverty is accessible to anyone who cares enough to learn more about the experience of those living in extreme poverty. That crowd tends to be wealthier and well-educated, as well as media savvy. The book is endorsed by several progressive evangelical Christians.
Other organizations would include the ONE campaign or One Day's Wages - please take a look at their websites. Other organizations/conferences/movements who we are aligning ourselves with are Catalyst Conference, Compassion International, Opportunity International.
Please see attachments. To be considered, you must stick to the attached outline. Questions can be sent to email@example.com. We will need a layered PSD file to complete the coding of the WordPress site.
Above all this is a simple website: learn about the book, the author (Mark Lutz), how you can get involved, our social media, done. Clean and user-friendly are important, as is SEO.
The color scheme must echo the book cover (image attached). It should look earthly and natural. The book is about poverty, but it's also about hope: we love the image of the man on the bike on the cover, with the bit of red that pops. No stock images, please.
Here are some author/book sites we want to emulate:
~http://www.theholeinourgospel.com/ (best all-around)
~http://www.shaunaniequist.com/ (easy to find the info you're looking for - so simple)
~http://abiah.com/ (great example of rotating panel on the homepage)
~http://www.brianmclaren.net/ (great example of horizontal navigation - but we're NOT going to be posting frequent blog entries this way)
~http://greenletterbible.com/ (great example of nature-looking design)
Thanks for your interest in the UnPoverty website!

Plastic bag charge to be introduced in England
A 5p charge for plastic bags in England is to be introduced by the government in a bid to discourage their use.
Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg is to unveil the plans at the Liberal Democrat party conference this weekend.
Ministers are said to be concerned at the environmental impact of the bags, particularly on waterborne animals.
The charge, which will only apply to supermarkets and larger stores, will begin after the 2015 election, with the proceeds going to charities.
A similar charge applying to the single-use carrier bags made from both plastic and paper is already in effect in Wales and Northern Ireland.
Northern Ireland's Environment Minister, Mark H Durkan, this week announced he was not going ahead with plans to raise the levy to 10p per bag, because the present arrangements were proving successful.
He said data from major supermarkets showed there had been an 80% reduction in plastic bag use since the levy was brought in.
Retailers in Scotland will start charging for bags in October 2014.
According to Liberal Democrat sources, the charge in Wales, which began in 2011, has seen the use of plastic bags drop by roughly 75%.
Liberal Democrat Energy and Climate Change Secretary Ed Davey said his party had faced opposition to the scheme from the Conservatives.
He said the charge would only raise "pretty small amounts" for charity, as its intention was to get people to reduce the amount they use.
Speaking to BBC Breakfast, he said: "It is a huge environmental step forward.
'Tough times'
"We are very clear that none of this money will come to government, we are not trying to tax people, we are trying to change people's behaviour, encourage much more environmentally-friendly behaviour."
Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg said there was enthusiasm for the plans among major retailers but there had been opposition from government colleagues.
Speaking on a visit to Cathkin Marsh nature reserve, near Glasgow, he said that plastic bags were often used for just a few minutes but "take 1,000 years to degrade".
He said: "That's not just bad for the environment, they are a terrible eyesore on our beautiful countryside. They cause a lot of suffering for animals, particularly marine wildlife."
Mr Clegg said he hoped any money raised by the levy would be donated to environmental charities.
He added: "Of course there are debates in government on something like this, this is a big change. But it's one that I was very keen to do and I think we will now do it - not overnight, it will happen by the end of 2015.
"But I think very quickly, just as in the way people are accepting it in Wales where there has been an up to 80% drop in the use of plastic bags, people will get used to it and support it."
Andy Walker from the campaign group, Keep Britain Tidy, said that free plastic bags came with a "cost to the environment".
"Our supporters up and down the country end up cleaning bags from water courses, from beaches, from the High Street... so we believe it'll reduce the incidence of bags there," he said.
"But it will also influence behaviour change - people will start to take reusable bags with them to the supermarket and that will actually make a big difference to the environment."
But Matthew Sinclair, from the Taxpayers' Alliance, said the charge was an unnecessary measure that would have little impact on overall waste.
"This is not just a small share of waste, this is a tiny share of waste," he said.
"And I don't think that for every problem the answer is a new tax.
"There are already a number of different schemes to encourage people to think about using reusable bags, there are other schemes which involve using the carrot rather than the stick of a new tax."
Craig Bennett, policy and campaigns director of Friends of the Earth, said: "A plastic bag charge is welcome news, but let's not get carried away.
"This small step will do little to tackle the nation's huge waste mountain and can't disguise the government's woeful green record."
He said tougher action and ambitious targets were needed to to cut waste, boost recycling and "bring England in line with the rest of the UK and much of Europe".
BBC political correspondent Robin Brant said ministers acknowledged that shoppers may be unhappy about the prospect of the charge in what are "tough times" but the coalition believed it needed to tackle their use.
A number of supermarkets already encourage customers to limit their use of carrier bags by giving them loyalty points for providing their own. Marks & Spencer charges 5p for its plastic carrier bags, donating the profits to charities and education projects, but still gives out smaller bags.
Charities involved in clearing up the environmental damage caused by plastic bags will benefit from money raised by the new charge.
Groups such as the Campaign to Protect Rural England, Keep Britain Tidy, the Marine Conservation Society and Surfers Against Sewage have long called for a charge. They said plastic bags littered England's streets and countryside.
The bags, they say, have proved harmful to wildlife which become entangled in them or think they are food.

Template::Provider::Preload - Preload templates to save memory when forking
my $template = Template->new(
PREFETCH => '*.tt',
INCLUDE_PATH => 'my/templates',
COMPILE_DIR => 'my/cache',
# Parser options should go here instead of to the
# parent Template constructor.
One of the nicer things that the Template Toolkit modules do in the default Template::Provider is provide two powerful caching features.
The first is to cache the result of the slow and expensive compilation phase, storing the Perl version of the template in a specific cache directory. This mechanism is disabled by default, and enabled with the
COMPILE_DIR parameter.
The second is that the compiled templates will be cached in memory the first time they are used, based on template path. This feature is enabled by default and permitted to grow to infinite size. It can be limited or disabled via the
CACHE_SIZE param.
The default cache strategy works just fine in a single-process application, and in fact in many such cases is the optimum caching strategy.
However, the default cache strategy can perform horribly in several situations relating to large-scale and high-demand applications.
Template::Provider::Preload can be used to create caching strategies that are more appropriate for heavily forking applications such as clustered high-traffic mod_perl systems.
While Template::Provider::Preload is useful in many high-forking scenarios, we will use the (dominant) case of a forking Apache application in all of the following examples. You should be able to exchange all uses of terms like "Apache child" with your equivalent interchangably.
High-Security Server
In some very high security environments, the web user will not have the right to create any files whatsoever, including temporary files.
This prevents the use of the compilation cache, and the template update checks in the provider greatly complicate the possibility of building the cache in advance offsite.
By allowing all templates to be compiled to memory in advance, you can use templates at their full speed without the penalty of parsing and compiling every template once per Apache child process.
Most of the following cases also assume a well-control static production environment, where the template content will not change (and a web server restart is done each time a new version of the application is deployed).
Large Templates, Many Templates
Under the default cache strategy (with a compilation directory enabled) the first Apache child that uses each template will compile and cache the template. Each Apache child that uses the templates will then need to separately load the compiled templates into memory.
With web servers often having 20 or 50 or 100 child processes each, templates that expand into 10 meg of memory for a single process (which can be quite possible with a reasonable number of templates) can easily expand into a gigabyte of memory that contributes nothing other than to eat into your more useful object or disk caches.
With large numbers of large templates on multi-core servers with many many child processes, you can even put yourself in the situation of needing to requisition additional web servers due to memory contraints, rather than CPU constraints.
Memory saved by loading a template once instead of 100 times can be retasked to enable higher throughput (by providing more children) or reduced latency (by boosting various caches).
Networked Templates
In cluster environments where all front-end servers will use a common back-end Network-Attached Storage to store the website, reducing the number, frequency and size of disk interations (both reads and stats) is an important element in reducing or eliminating disk contention and network load on what is often a critical shared resource.
Reducing the number of template-related requests serves a triple purpose of reducing the size, speed, capacity and cost of required networking equipment, allowing additional front-end server growth with lower change of requiring (highly disruptive) upgrades to central network or storage kit, and eliminating high-latency network IO requests from the web pipeline.
By compiling and loading all of the common templates in advance into a seperate pre-fork memory cache (hereafter "precache") you can create an environment in which the individual Apache children will not need issue network filesystem requests except in the case of rare and unusual website requests that load rarely used templates.
This can be taken to the extreme by loading every possible template into the precache, which will eliminate template entirely and enable more-unusual tricks like allowing the web server to disconnect entirely from the source of the templates.
Template::Provider::Preload provides two additional caching features that can be used on their own to implement the most common caching strategy, or in combination with the default cache settings to allow for more varied and subtle caching strategies.
Template Search and Compilation
Template::Provider::Preload provides the
prefetch method that can be used to search the template include path and compile/load templates in bulk.
The set of templates to load can be defined very flexibly, allowing you to preload templates at various levels. Typical examples might be loading the entire template library, loading only the common include templates (page headers and footers etc), or loading all templates accessible by the public while not loading rarely used staff or administration templates.
Secondary Pre-Fork Cache
Template::Provider::Preload adds an optional third cache that sits between the disk compilation cache and the run-time memory cache.
The precache is designed to cache templates in memory separately from the run-time memory cache. Holding pre-fork templates in a separate cache allows the normal cache to behave appropriately at run-time for templates that aren't in the precache, without being distracted by the precache entries and without having to stat the precache templates
my $provider = Template::Provider::Preload->new(
PREFETCH => '*.tt',
INCLUDE_PATH => 'my/templates',
COMPILE_DIR => 'my/cache',
new constructor accepts all the same parameters as the underlying Template::Provider class, with two additions.
PRECACHE param indicates that the secondary prefetch cache should be created and used for this provider. The precatch is not size-constrained by the
CACHE_SIZE param, that option only affects the default run-time cache.
PREFETCH param indicates that an immediate
prefetch request should be made at constructor time to pre-populate the cache (the precache if it exists, or the run-time cache otherwise) with a specified set of templates.
The value of
PREFETCH can be either a single string or a File::Find::Rule object, which will be passed to prefetch. Alternatively, if the
PREFETCH param is an
ARRAY reference, the reference will be flattened to a list, allowing you to provide more than one file type string to
Returns a Template::Provider::Preload object, or throws an excpetion (dies) on error.
# Load all .tt templates into memory
# Load all .html and .eml templates into memory
$provider->prefetch('*.html', '*.eml');
# Load all templates inside a SVN checkout into memory
use File::Find::Rule;
use File::Find::Rule::VCS;
prefetch method is used to specify that a set of template files should be immediately compiled (with the compiled templates cached if possible) and then the compiled templates are loaded into memory.
When used in combination with
PRECACHE the
prefetch method creates a caching strategy where the template files will never be looked at once the call to
prefetch has completed. Both positive (template found) and negative (not found or error) results will be cached.
When filling the precache, the use of the internal cache will be temporarily disabled to avoid polluting the run-time cache state.
Selection of the files to compile is done via a File::Find::Rule search across all
INCLUDE_PATH directories. If the same file exists within more than one
INCLUDE_PATH directory, only the first one will be compiled.
In the canonical usage, the
prefetch method takes a single parameter, which should be a File::Find::Rule object. The method will call
file and
relative on the filter you pass in, so you should consider the
prefetch method to be destructive to the filter.
As a convenience, if the method is passed a series of strings, a new rule object will be created and the strings will be used to specific the required files to compile via a call to the
name method.
As a further convenience, if the method is passed no params, a default filter will be created for all files ending in .tt.
Returns true on success, or throws an exception (dies) on error.
The Template::Provider::Preload precaching logic assumes a stable production environment in which the template files will not be changed.
It is assumed that if a production release is made, then there will be a server or application restart that allows the caches to be refilled and then the children reforked.

Two cheaters, one scored wife
And everyone's a famewhore! It's a new nursery rhyme. Hollywood styles.
So LeAnn Rimes marries a maybe gaybe, she soon finds out it's not maybe, and tries to hag out it for a few years, and then costars with Eddie Cibrian in a made for tv movie, and they can't control their horny, and they start f-cking on the sly, but end up getting caught by a closed circuit television at some restaurant, and he denies it because he's married with 2 young children, and his wife Brandi starts talking to the tabloids telling everyone LeAnn keeps coming after Eddie's cock, and now they've been busted, yet again, sneaking around at a friend's house, as recently as last Friday, which is why Brandi has decided to announce via Us Weekly that:
"Eddie and I have decided to take some time apart. I want to do what is best for our children. Eddie and LeAnn deserve each other."
Yes. A statement like that is definitely what's best for the children.
No, it's not the classiest move. There's no class anywhere in this situation. If I were the wife though, I can't say I wouldn't do the same out of pure f-cking spite. Except in real life as civilians, we don't go to the tabloids, we send out mass emails. To everyone on his distribution list. I'm sure you know someone who knows someone…
As for when Eddie and LeAnn will finally admit it – not until they get paid. He's denying it for now. But for the right price, or on the right network, and it could all totally change. After all, people actually know who he is now.

Interesting take on the HGs Rachel. I'm catching up on the videos.. Elissa looks good, she doesn't resemble Rachel in looks but I need to hear her voice.
I hope we don't have to hear that laugh.. I loved Rachel but if her sister wants to last, she needs to stay on the quiet side and NOT use that laugh!
I have to say Elissa has done really well especially with the stress she's had. She isn't acting anything like Rachel and has an endearing way about her.
I don't remember her from that season.. I only remember the Nerd Herd and Maggie along with Janie. I'll have to google her.

State Senator Dave Thompson (R-Lakeville), says he won't run against incumbent U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar in 2012.
"Over the last several weeks many people have encouraged me to take this opportunity seriously," he said in a press statement. "I have taken their advice, but have decided not to run."
"The new Senate Republican majority has transformed the discussion and dramatically impacted the direction of policy in this great state," Thompson added. "Our work has just begun."
That leaves former state Rep. Dan Severson as Klobuchar's only challenger. Her approval ratings have been remarkable; for instance a poll conducted in late May shows that 61 percent of Minnesotans approve of the job Klobuchar is doing in Washington.

App::Pinto::Command::unpin - free packages that have been pinned
version 0.097
pinto --root=REPOSITORY_ROOT unpin [OPTIONS] TARGET ...
This command unpins package in the stack, so that the stack can be merged into another stack with a newer packages, or so the packages can be upgraded to a newer version within this stack.
Arguments are the targets you wish to unpin. Targets can be specified as packages or distributions, such as: Some::Package Some::Other::Package AUTHOR/Some-Dist-1.2.tar.gz AUTHOR/Some-Other-Dist-1.3.zip When unpinning a distribution, all the packages in that distribution become unpinned. Likewise when unpinning a package, all its sister packages in the same distribution also become unpinned. You can also pipe arguments to this command over STDIN. In that case, blank lines and lines that look like comments (i.e. starting with "#" or ';') will be ignored.
--dry-run Go through all the motions, but do not actually commit any changes to the repository. Use this option to see how the command would potentially impact the stack. --message=TEXT -m TEXT Use TEXT as the revision history log message. If you do not use the "--message" option or the "--use-default-message" option, then you will be prompted to enter the message via your text editor. Use the "EDITOR" or "VISUAL" environment variables to control which editor is used. A log message is not required whenever the "--dry-run" option is set, or if the action did not yield any changes to the repository. --stack=NAME Unpins the package on the stack with the given NAME. Defaults to the name of whichever stack is currently marked as the default stack. Use the stacks command to see your stacks. --use-default-message -M Use the default value for the revision history log message. Pinto will generate a semi-informative log message just based on the command and its arguments. If you set an explicit message with "--message", the "--use-default-message" option will be silently ignored.

Cisco yesterday announced the winner of its first global innovation contest, the I-prize. More than 2,500 contestants from more than 100 countries competed for prize money — by submitting ideas that could potentially form new billion-dollar businesses for Cisco. The winning team, a computer science student in Germany and her husband and brother, proposed an idea for energy management.
Cisco's contest is part of a trend toward corporate-sponsored innovation competitions as a way of attracting new ideas from outside the corporation. And apparently, one of the winners of this contest was...Cisco. While being fairly vague about the details of the winning innovation, Cisco senior vice president Marthin De Beer called the winning entry "one of the most compelling ideas we've seen in a very long time" in a video posted on the I-prize web page. De Beer did say that the winning idea involves an approach for energy management across the electrical grid, uisng IP networking technology. More specifically, one journalist reports it's an idea for requiring devices to ask for power from the electical grid when they need it, rather than consuming power automatically.
The response to the contest reportedly exceeded expectations at Cisco, despite some off-topic entries such as an idea for massaging socks. How happy was Cisco with the contest's results? Well, let's just say the corporation has just launched another contest, this time for software developers.

Focale 44 is a fixed/commuter bike brand from BMX Groupment, an Andorra-based company that – you guessed it – specialises in BMX. This is the third year of producing fixie bikes, and there's a range of models, which seem to all be built around the same basic frame. This test bike is the Focale 44 Relax, a flat-barred commuter bike that the company places in the middle of its range.
First impressions are that it's quite smart. The matte-black paint job is good, and, whether you like or loathe white tyres (I'm not a fan), they're not too garish. Overall, it's an understated package.
The integrated bar and stem – rather like the original Specialized Globe Rolls – is also an interesting touch. The standard gearing is 42/16, a decent go-anywhere gear for negotiating traffic and gentle hills, and fine for rolling around London. The wheel has a double fixed flip-flop hub, so you could run another cog on the other side if you wanted a choice of gears.
Thumbs up, more or less, for the looks then; and the ride, too, is pretty good. Being a fairly heavy package, it's not the fastest bike on the block, and it's not going to win any prizes for power transfer or stiffness. That's not really what it's about though: it rides well enough on the commute, and clips along once you get it going.
The tight, track bike-inspired geometry means it feels nippy, despite these disadvantages. It tracks dependably through the corners, though the fairly upright position and wide bars meant that I took it a bit easier when weaving through traffic than I would have on my own bike. There's a lot of toe overlap too, another reason for caution.
Though the handling was good, I was seriously unimpressed with the tyres. They were made of such hard, unyielding rubber - tougher than home trainer tyres, and shinier - that I worried about grip in the wet, or over road paint, or manhole covers. Nothing bad actually happened, but if you don't have confidence...
They were also hands down the most obstinate tyres I've ever had to manhandle on and off a wheel. Add to this a narrow rim, with a deep, bevelled (almost sharp) internal profile, which leaves little room for the inner tube to sit, and you've got a big headache when fixing punctures. One last wheel gripe: the front wheel went significantly out of true during the test period. That's partly the fault of London's roads, but all in all the wheels didn't seem very robustly built.
Where next? Oh yes, the brake. The lever was fine, but the calliper was incredibly flexible, resulting in very spongey braking. Also, the quick-release lever did not actually loosen the callipers, or at least the finest minds in the Road.cc office couldn't make it work. It's a real let-down, and given there's only one brake – standard fixie issue – a pretty poor show. To give it its due, it did stop pretty well, though there was a fair bit of shudder in the wet.
The pedals, too, seem cheap. I liked the fixed-freestyle velcro straps, but the plastic pedals angled away from your foot as they came around, making it difficult to get securely in, and with the fixed gear you only get one chance per revolution.
In all, then, the components felt like a bit of a letdown. The bike seems to have a list price of £559, which is a good whack of cash. Given you can get a basic race bike or an entry-level hybrid for significantly less than that – with multiple gears, two brakes etc – it's disappointing to get so little for so much.
Good-looking bike, that rides fine, let down by poor tyres and brakes - and you should get more for this kind of money.

The website calls Focale 44 bikes fixed/commuter bikes. They sponsor a few messengers in Barcelona, the city closest to their Andorran base, but it's fair to say that these are aimed at commuters who want a bit of style on their morning ride, and don't
Frame and fork
Tell us about the build quality and finish of the frame and fork?
Both frame and fork are sturdy and well finished, though the fork's styling could charitably be called 'utilitarian'. The welds are quite neat, and the matte-black paint is pretty smart.
Tell us about the materials used in the frame and fork?
4130 Cro-Mo says the site, and a straight-blade fork. All in all, it's not a light package, but it's what you'd expect from a bike at the cheaper end of the price spectrum. Amazingly, £559 is fairly cheap for an off the peg fixed-wheel these days.
Tell us about the geometry of the frame and fork?
Pretty tight and track-bikey. Means it's nippy, but the toe overlap is fairly epic.
How was the bike in terms of height and reach? How did it compare to other bikes of the same stated size?
Good. The company have apparently shortened the stem for 2012, so the position was fairly upright.
Riding the bike
Was the bike comfortable to ride? Tell us how you felt about the ride quality.
Yes, it was pretty comfy. The stock saddle was pretty good, though a little spongier than most.
Did the bike feel stiff in the right places? Did any part of the bike feel too stiff or too flexible?
It was passable. But compare it to a frame built with decent steel, and a nice pair of wheels, and it was soon found wanting.
How did the bike transfer power? Did it feel efficient?
Not particularly. I suspect the lively-ish ride is more down to the tight geometry than any stiffness qualities inherent in the frame. I have another track bike that usually takes commuting duties, and it feels a lot more responsive to power, without any toe overlap.
Was there any toe-clip overlap with the front wheel? If so, was it a problem?
Epic. But it's a "track" bike, so that's the style.
How would you describe the steering? Was it lively, neutral or unresponsive? It was quite precise, but let down by the tyres, which did not inspire confidence.
None of that flick-of-the-ankle fun of a light, stiff bike, but this
Not really made for it, being heavy cro-mo steel, but it's a town bike, so
Once you get it going, it pootles along quite nicely.
A bit crappy through tight spots in traffic. You sort of worry about toe clearance.
The bike tracked well, but see my comments about the tyres...
Does not really reward effort climbing, felt a little leaden. Plus there's something about the short top-tube and flat bars. Then again, it's a town bike...
The drivetrain
Seemed like a fairly standard fixed-wheel drivetrain.
Tell us some more about the drivetrain. Anything you particularly did or didn't like? Any components which didn't work well together?
The lockring wasn't well tightened on the test model we received. A bit disconcerting when applying foot pressure on the brake, as the cog slipped to and fro. We know you should check these things over, but many people wouldn't.
Wheels and tyres
The front, laced radially, quickly went out of true. The tyres are very hard, plasticky and a total pig to get on and off. They did not inspire cornering confidence.
The tyres didn't wear at all, so hard were they. The wheels weren't really up to the London potholes - but not too many are.
Tell us some more about the wheels and tyres.Did they work well in the conditions you encountered? Would you change the wheels or tyres? If so, what for?
I would definitely swap the tyres. The wheels went out of true, though I wouldn't heap all the blame on them for that, that's London's roads too.
The grips were abrasive. Aside from them, the only 'control' the bike had, really, was the front brake. The lever was fine, but the calliper was poor quality.
Your summary
Did you enjoy riding the bike? It was OK. A decent ride, no hassles.
Would you consider buying the bike? No - it's poor value for what you get.
Would you recommend the bike to a friend? No

The devil is in the detail when it comes to the Tissot Bella Ora, where intricate design ticks lead to a smart and sophisticated result. The luxurious design uses curved glass, a concave bezel and a cabochon crown to create a smooth silhouette, while the polished bevel on the horns and the roman indexes add a grown-up and glamorous edge. Other touches, like the jewellery bracelet and small second counter on the dial, up the elegance factor and add subtle decorative touches to what is a feminine, yet refined, watch.

Beyoncé isn't the only R&B diva headed to the Super Bowl this year. Fantasia has just been announced as the headliner of the annual, NFL-sponsored Super Bowl Gospel Celebration in New Orleans, the Associated Press reports.
Fantasia will join Donnie McClurkin, Marvin Winans, Bishop Paul S. Morton and host Sherri Shepherd of The View for the concert, which is now in its 14th year. The gospel show will be recorded before a live audience at the UNO Lakefront Arena on February 1 and then syndicated for television broadcast. The Super Bowl game, at which Beyoncé will perform during halftime, will take place February 3 at the nearby Superdome.
The American Idol-winner's headlining slot comes shortly after she came under harsh public scrutiny for controversial comments about same-sex marriage.
Tickets for the concert, sponsored by American Family Insurance, are on sale starting at $40 at superbowlgospel.com. Proceeds from the event will benefit the Malcolm Jenkins Foundation and the Sharper Kids Foundation.

Did you know that, with the exception of black pepper, if you have a red and white rectangular tin from McCormick, it's at least 17 years old? Toss anything that's more than two years old or that has lost its aroma. A smart tip for going forward: Whenever you buy a new spice, add a small sticker to the bottle and write the purchase date on it.
Step 2: Choose your strategy.
I usually sort spices by function: cooking vs. baking. We typically use spices like basil, oregano, and coriander for cooking savory dishes, and spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder, and ground cloves, for baking sweet desserts. It may be helpful to keep all of these closer to your mixing bowls and baking equipment. If you have many containers to store, splitting them up this way can help you find the right one faster. If you don't have a lot of spices, you might choose to keep them all together.
Step 3: Find the right storage space.
How can you get your spices to be closest to their point-of-use? If you have cabinets by your stove, that's usually the best option. Upper cabinets are best, and then drawers.
RELATED: 11 Clever Storage Solutions for Your Pantry
Step 4: Pick which storage product to use.
My first preference for spices is a turntable, also called a Lazy Susan. The standard 10-inch ones sold at discount stores are fine, and if you can adjust your shelving, you can use a double-decker version. I don't alphabetize my spices because turntables allow you to quickly spin and scan. I prefer these over the "stairstep" storage products as it can be hard to reach for items in the back.
If you store spices in a drawer, you don't necessarily need a special spice insert, as often the containers are many different shapes and sizes. Medium-to-large drawer dividers are great for separating and managing the various canisters.
If you don't have storage near your point-of-use, you can buy something to hang on the wall, but unless you have a strong aesthetic preference for pretty spice jars, find a rack that allows you to use the original containers to avoid having to transfer messy powders when you buy something new. Don't forget that back-of-door racks are great for inside cabinet doors and pantries.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - Danielle Tetreault and Jennifer VanderMeulen scored four goals each and both had an assist to lead the Harvard women's lacrosse team to a 19-3 win over rival Yale Saturday at Harvard Stadium. It was the most lopsided win in series history and the most goals scored against the Yale since 1985.
Melanie Baskind, Jess Halpern, Chelsey Newman and Tyler Petropulos scored two goals apiece while Jenn Leffew, Nina Kucharczyk and Kasey Uhlenhuth added tallies in the winning effort.
The Crimson scored early and often against the Bulldogs. Harvard jumped out to a 3-0 lead on free position goals from Baskind and VanderMeulen and a Halpern tally. Yale got on the board after seven and a half minutes of play. The Crimson got two goals each from Newman and Tetreault before Yale put in back-to-back goals to cut the deficit to 7-3. Harvard scored three more before the whistle blew to end the half, including a Petropulos goal from Newman as the half ended.
Harvard scored nine times in the second session and held the Bulldogs without a score during that frame.
Leffew won three draw controls and scooped in three grounds balls, while Mariah Pewarski grabbed five ground balls and caused two turnovers. Alexis Buckley led all players with three caused turnovers. Kerry Clark made five saves in the net.
The Crimson continues its home stand next weekend with two non-conference games. Harvard welcomes New Hampshire Friday night and nationally ranked Johns Hopkins Sunday.

"What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived. It is what difference we have made to the lives of others that will determine the significance of the life we lead." – Nelson Mandela speaking at the 90th birthday celebration of Walter Sisulu, Walter Sisulu Hall, Randburg, Johannesburg, South Africa, 18 May 2002.
Nelson Mandela was never really a prisoner, but a free man always, and now, forever. As a South African, a comrade in the struggle to liberate my homeland from the evil of apartheid and a citizen of the world, my heart is heavy today. The loss was to be expected, but remains hard to bear.
The world has lost a true leader, a true father and a true inspiration. To say he lived a life of significance barely does it justice, and it is not over – he leaves a profound legacy of hope in a world still wracked by injustice and inequity. His inspiration will live on in my heart and in the hearts' of people everywhere.
My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends during these hard times. The world has collectively drawn a breath and is mourning. This is a time for reflection and quiet contemplation of a life well lived, for a man well loved.
I was 15 years old when I first heard the name Mandela, or Madiba, as he is fondly known in Africa. In apartheid South Africa he was public enemy number one. Shrouded in secrecy, myth and rumour, the media called him 'The Black Pimpernel'. He was able to avoid the police, using several disguises – a favorite of which was that of a chauffeur – until the CIA colluded with the apartheid regime to ensure his capture. In Durban, where I was born and grew up, and all over Africa, he was a hero! Now he is a hero to the world.
"Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world" he told the University of the Witwatersrand in 2003.
Thinking back to how he shaped my early life as an activist; during the apartheid regime I first stood up to protest against inequality in education – I fought apartheid education – I remember when my friends and I first heard of the "Free Mandela" campaign. Madiba, as we fondly refer to him, was censored from the media. Such was the official fear the state held for his ideas. From then on, Madiba became a major source of inspiration for me, and when he said, "the struggle is my life," I realised how powerful and true his words really were. Those words inspired many of my fellow activists fighting the brutality of the apartheid regime. For me too, like many of my former comrades, it has become my life, a joyous life, but sometimes a hard life.
I have had the privilege to meet Madiba several times, and for that I consider myself extremely lucky. I first met him when I was in my late 20s, in 1993. I was helping facilitate an African National Congress (ANC) workshop to plan its media strategy. For someone who is rarely lost for words, I was choked, I was humbled, I could barely utter a sentence when Madiba shook my hand: "It's an honour to meet you, Madiba" – and I couldn't get a word out after that. He was an enormous presence, yet remained simple, without pretension. After lunch he asked the manager of the hotel we were meeting in if he could thank the workers who provided the food. He went to the kitchen and greeted each and everyone. I followed and saw him shake everyone's hands – a simple honest gesture of appreciation that meant so much to all of them.
In 1995 I met him again when I was heading the Adult Literacy Campaign in South Africa. On International Literacy Day I took kids and adult learners to the Parliament to meet Madiba. They were excited to have their picture taken with him – the image was to become a poster for our campaign to promote adult basic education – but everyone was anxious; they where asking me what they should say and how they should approach meeting the President! Taking no chances most had prepared sentences, planning to thank him for making the time to see us. But when Madiba emerged from his Cabinet meeting he turned the tables. He walked in and thanked everyone for taking the time to see him. "I know how busy you all are and I thank you for taking time to meet me," he said. In that moment he closed the gap. He was just a human being, a person like them, and everyone relaxed.
He was larger than life but never lost sight of his humanity and 'ordinariness'. His tenacity, resolution and willingness to forgive were superhuman and have given me strength and taught me important lessons about determination and perseverance.
Madiba once said that the struggle for justice is not a popularity contest. The truth is not always popular, and his example helped me and thousands of others become more resilient. Madiba believed that injustice will carry on unless decent men and women say, "enough is enough and no more."
He declared: "I have fought against white domination and I have fought against black domination. I have cherished the ideal of a democratic and free society in which all persons will live together in harmony with equal opportunities. It is an ideal which I hope to live for and to see realised. But my Lord, if needs be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die." - Defence statement during the Rivonia Trial, 1964
There will be a little more colour and joy in heaven today, he will be there in one of his 'trademark' shirts, still burning with the passion and wisdom that was forged in the furnace of injustice and adversity and honed in victory. He will be looking down on us – people everywhere, willing us to go on, knowing that the impossible is possible if we stay true to ourselves.
Rest in peace Madiba, with our never-ending gratitude, you have more than earned it!
Hamba Kahle (Go well/Rest in Peace), Madiba. Ngiyabonga kakhulu (thank you very much).

This is Part II of a 2-part feature on dietary supplements for vegans. Today, we'll talk about some "extra" supplements that vegans might consider adding to their healthy diet. To read about the essential supplements for vegans, check out Part I.
When you walk into the supplements aisle of your favorite natural grocery or vitamin shop, the options can be completely overwhelming. Many people take supplements to help in the pursuit of a better bod, to treat sleeplessness or mood changes, and to combat the symptoms of everything from intestinal disorders to respiratory issues. Regardless of your specific health concerns, every vegan with healthy eating habits should still investigate whether these supplements are right for them and their lifestyle.
As with all changes to your diet and exercise, it's wise to consult with a trusted medical professional before taking up new habits. We're pretty smart here at Vegan Cuts, but we're not doctors, so please don't confuse our articles for medical advice.

Jin Motion
We're an ambitious team of computer programmers who take pride in developing applications that contribute to the achievement of human potential. Our work touches in the realms of "accessibility", "education", "therapy", and "artistic expression". In short, our vision is to use computer applications to make humans BETTER.
Examples of our projects include:
- developing a suite of virtual reality games to aid in therapy for children with motor-disabilities,
- programming the graphic display for a robotics application for stroke patients,
- programming a fully customizable website for dyslexic people.
Our clients so far include rehabilitiation hospitals, academic researchers, performing arts centers, and web developers. Now we're doing major overhaul of our company brand as we get set to pursue some bigger projects.
Traditionally our clients have been in the medical field, and our company has been branded as such. Now we're looking to broaden our client base to include more art centers, museums, and events/festivals. We would like our new logo to help attract these new clients, while not alienating our traditional clients. Here's some info on our two main target audiences:
These are doctors and researchers developing new applications. They are highly creative, but very professional. They appreciate "out-of-the-box" thinking, and are looking for courageous parters unafraid to try new techniques.
These are curators and artistic directors who are highly aesthetic and are always looking for something fresh to serve their audiences. They are dynamic and full of life, but also quite shrewd and business savvy. They are looking for partners that have a bold vision and style, but also that can inspire confidence that the job will get done.
We are looking for a stylish logo that would include our full name "Jin Motion", which we could use for business cards, stationary, email signature, and website.
The word "Jin" (which we took our company name from) is a Chinese word that means "advance", "progress", or "improve". This being at the heart our our company's vision, we'd like the logo to portray a sense of movement.
As for a graphical element, we're eager to see some interesting stylizations of the actual "Jin" Chinese character. Here's what it looks like:
http://www.jin-motion.com/proto/jin.html --- have fun with it! (A little idea we had regarding the character: notice how the top right portion (shaped a bit like "#") almost looks like a person running with their hands out, crossing the "finish line" of a marathon. If you could work that in, that would be amazing.)
In terms of colors, we're open to different interpretations, though we'd like to see some nice greens.
The file format we require is either:
Adobe Illustrator - .ai
Scalable Vector Graphics - .svg

Nascar, NBC Reach Deal
NBCUniversal's cable and broadcast networks will televise the second half of Nascar's Sprint Cup series beginning in 2015, taking over the package of stock car racing's top-flight circuit that has been on ESPN and Turner's TNT. But ratings for Nascar have slipped in recent years and ESPN is focusing more heavily on more traditional mainstream sports.
Brian France, Nascar's chief executive, said the emphasis that NBC Sports has promised to place on Nascar's Sprint Cup and its second-tier Nationwide series of races made it worth the risk of moving off the country's top sports network and onto the lower-profile NBCSports Network, though several races in the fall may serve as a lead into NBC's Sunday Night Football, the most-watched television series of the fall season last year.
"They still have a bigger emphasis on having big events on network television," France said of NBC Sports.
Mark Lazarus, the chairman of the NBC Sports Group, said the network has been focused on re-acquiring rights to Nascar in the past year. NBCUniversal plans to show seven races on its broadcast network and 13 on the NBC Sports Network. Fox has already renewed its deal to televise most of the first half of the Sprint Cup season through 2022.

Scherzer Stays Sharp
The second-half of the MLB season hasn't been kind to pitchers who start the All-Star game. Over the last decade, 16 of the 20 All-Star starters had higher earned-run averages after the break, while 15 pitchers had a higher WHIP (walks plus hits per inning pitched).
But Matt Harvey (New York Mets) and Max Scherzer (Detroit Tigers) could become the first pair during this span to both improve upon their first-half performances. Harvey lowered his ERA to 2.23 against the Phillies on Sunday, pitching seven shutout innings and allowing only three hits in a Mets win. Monday, Scherzer (below) lowered his ERA to 3.14, beating the White Sox and only allowing four hits and two runs.

3-D View of Dark-Stained Cornelia
This composite-color view from NASA's Dawn mission shows Cornelia Crater, streaked with dark materials, on the giant asteroid Vesta. The data were obtained by Dawn's framing camera during the mission's high-altitude mapping orbit, about 420 miles (680 kilometers) above the surface. The images were integrated into a mosaic and wrapped on a topographical model of Vesta's surface.
Scientists colorized the picture by assigning red to the 0.75-micron wavelength, green to the 0.92-micron wavelength and blue to the 0.98-micron wavelength.The Dawn mission to Vesta and Ceres is managed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, Washington. UCLA is responsible for overall Dawn mission science. The Dawn framing cameras were developed and built under the leadership of the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research, Katlenburg-Lindau, Germany, with significant contributions by DLR German Aerospace Center, Institute of Planetary Research, Berlin, and in coordination with the Institute of Computer and Communication Network Engineering, Braunschweig. The framing camera project is funded by the Max Planck Society, DLR and NASA/JPL.More information about Dawn is online at http://www.nasa.gov/dawn and http://dawn.jpl.nasa.gov.
