Mooter Media necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 4503 diseños de 579 diseñadores freelance.
Mooter Media
Mooter Media is a cutting edge technology company listed on the
Australian Securities Exchange (ASX:MMZ) that has developed a number
of innovative online advertising solutions using individual and group
behaviour to help advertisers better target their messages to more
appropriate users.
... The Company has recently announced an exciting Partnership with stealth Photo Networking start-up Hotshot Media.
In anticipation of the pending launch of this international joint
venture, Mooter Media is looking to update its corporate identity to
better reflect it's move into Social Gaming and Social Networking.
This 'update' will include a new website to be launched in the coming
weeks but first up we need a new logo, or more accurately, a new logo or image
that embodies Mooters rich history of technological innovation in
the online media space and its recently announced suite of Partnership products. Those products include a 'photo networking' platform, a convergence of
social networking and social gaming and a number of image-centric casual games with photos as a key element.
Users will be able to engage with their memories in fun and innovative
The logo appeals to a broad, financially and intellectually savvy
audience. Dealing with this Tech brand is fun, and also highly
rewarding. Image is (almost) everything. We are image; we are innovation
and we are tech-unique.
As the only listed company in Australia operating in this space, this
is indeed an exciting opportunity to develop something that will be
seen globally and hopefully become an iconic part of this rapidly
growing sector.
People need to see the logo (and eventual website) and think 'wow', this represents an image of powerful and strategic alliance between leaders in interactive technology: a professional, edgy, techy, strong global leader and innovator in this space.
Specifically, we need to create a trusted, communicable, exciting, and highly differentiated brand, competing in the same space as global social media giants, Playfish and Zynga who are out there. (As this is a global company, we are not looking for logo's featuring Australian references. ie no Kanagaroos, Koalas or maps of Australia.)
Mooter Media has to be more interesting than that. We believe our product is, so now it's time to make sure our logo is too. We need your help!
We must make the current key players look like tired boring brands. This partnership is right at the forefront of Web 2.0 - think of some of the iconic logos of the true innovators in online media, and you're probably getting close to the mark. Start to creatively weave in the key thematic elements of what we do - photos/images, social networking and casual gaming - as well as blending both our creative mindset and professional focus, and you're getting closer still!
Bright colors are great, as are some of the common design cues seen recently in the online space - thin, simple text; bold, simple, iconic designs; 'glass' layers (the elliptical marquee tool in Photoshop); subtle reflections, shadows and gradients. We really are looking for something classy but cool. Here's some examples of things I like to give you some food for thought:
I love the look of the logos above, but at the same time, do make sure to take in exactly what we do: again, that's casual games, photos and social networking. Oh, and we're listed on the stock exchange, so balance classy and cool.
To show our commitment to getting the best work possible and befitting
the importance that our logo becomes truly iconic, we are offering a
guaranteed $1000 prize here on 99designs!
We're committed to getting a great result and working with entrants,
so please feel free to contact us with any questions.

The Jewish studies program at the University of Waterloo recently accepted a bequest from an unlikely source that will help fund an online Jewish studies course.
The late Bette Hagey, "a real stalwart of the United Church" who died in 2009, left part of her estate to Waterloo's Jewish studies program, said Waterloo professor emeritus Paul Socken.
Socken, who founded the Jewish studies program and continues to serve as chair of the dean's advisory committee for the program, explained Hagey's connection to him and the program.
In 1993, Socken was approached by Brian Hendley, who was the university's dean of arts, with an offer to start a Jewish studies program at the university.
"The reason the dean came to me was… there was a rally at the [Trinity United] church against neo-Nazis who were coming to Kitchener to raise money… It's very possible [Hagey] was there or knew of it," Socken said.
He added that the dean had also seen Schindler's List, and that, coupled with the rally, inspired him to establish a Jewish studies program at Waterloo.
Socken began his fundraising efforts, but didn't have enough funds to hire a professor for the program until 2002.
"When I had some money and started collecting interest, but didn't yet have enough for hiring, I started a public lecture series and that set the groundwork for people to expect things of a Jewish nature on campus," Socken said.
"Bette was always there in the audience along with my dear friend Ann [Dubé] and her husband, who were close friends with Bette. I met her subsequently in my friends' home and we were quite friendly," he said.
"When she passed away is when I found out that she had never married and she was an executive secretary at an insurance company. She had left her estate to her nieces and nephews, and… she left a portion of it to be divided equally between Trinity United and the Jewish studies program at Waterloo."
He said she left the program $50,000, enough to launch an online course in Jewish studies, which will be dedicated to her memory.
"This is extraordinary, given the relentless onslaught of the United Church against Israel," Socken said, but he added that he doubts her decision to leave this sum to the Jewish studies program was political.
"I don't think it was a strike against the church, I just think it was a gesture of generosity and thoughtfulness," he said.
"I think it's important that while there may be certain people in the upper levels of organizations… that are very strongly anti-Israel… there are individuals at the ground level who feel very differently toward Jews and Israel, and this is a concrete example of that."
Dubé, who said Hagey became a member of her extended family when they met in her "late middle age," agreed that Hagey's decision to leave the gift to the Jewish studies program was based on her admiration for Socken and interest in the Jewish roots of her Christian faith.
Dubé described Hagey as "a prickly, difficult, scary lady, who was, in her heart, incredibly generous," as well as a "deep thinker, an intellectual without formal education.
"She was a formidable lady. She was known at the Trinity United Church as the lady in the hat because she always wore smart and large hats. She was imposing and scary, but underneath, she had the heart of a marshmallow."
Dubé said she was aware of Hagey's intention to donate part of her estate to the Jewish studies program because when Hagey fell ill, Dubé took over her care and had her power of attorney.
"I think she had two motivations. One was her very strong admiration for Paul," Dubé said, adding that Socken and her late husband, Pierre, were the best of friends.
Dubé said Pierre was Jewish by birth, but chose to follow his wife and family into the United Church.
Still, "he was fascinated with his Jewish roots and taught a study course that involved a study of the Jewish religion and Genesis, and we often had Paul in to speak, because Paul, of course, is quite a scholar in Judaism," Dubé said.
"Bette got to know Paul that way and Bette was quite taken with him. Paul organized a series of lectures with the Jewish studies program and Bette attended them faithfully as long as her health permitted, and she very much enjoyed them."
She added that Hagey was also fascinated by the Jewish roots of her religious beliefs.
"I think that because she had studied the Jewish roots of her faith, she felt it was all going to the same cause."

Awhitu Peninsula
Incorporating Awhitu | Big Bay | Grahams Beach | Manukau Heads | Pollok | Waipipi
Stretching northwards from Waiuku, the Awhitu Peninsula, our Sunset Coast, offers some of the best views of both the Manukau Harbour and the rugged west coast along the Tasman Sea. Awhitu, which means 'place of longing' in Maori, was an important early settlement area and gateway to the rest of the country, for both Maori and Europeans.
The turbulent seas of the Manukau Heads at the top of the Peninsula, were the site of New Zealand's worst maritime disaster, when in 1863 the HMS Orpheus ran aground. As a result the paraffin lit Manukau Heads Lighthouse was built in 1874. The present day replica, which features the original light, has become a magnet for visitors seeking out our country's historic icons and this coupled with the other attractions of the Peninsula has stimulated an influx of fun-seeking visitors.
The Peninsula's wild but beautiful attractions range from horse trekking, country markets, kayak adventures, organic foods, wine cellars to natural rambles in a magnificent regional park; sun baking, sand-strolling, fishing, heritage sites and more. All wait to be enjoyed on the finger of land protecting the peaceful Manukau Harbour from the might of the Tasman Sea.

Watch This: Must-Sees From A Show-Creating Couple
In the TV drama The Good Wife, a political spouse forges her own path after her husband is disgraced by corruption and scandal. Real-life married couple Robert and Michelle King are the creators of the Emmy Award-winning CBS series. And the Kings are the latest Hollywood insiders to share their TV and movie recommendations with Morning Edition in our series, Watch This.
By and large, it's a lighthearted list. "We don't really watch too much tragic Ibsen drama," Robert tells NPR's Steve Inskeep. "Everything has to have a bit of bitter humor in it."
Breaking Bad
The AMC series created by Vince Gilligan follows the exploits of a high-school chemistry teacher who learns he has cancer and decides he'll support his family by making and selling methamphetamine with one of his former students.
"It is very absolute in its decline of its hero," Robert King says. "... There's such a very dark sense of humor that keeps you laughing as things get more and more depressed and violent."
The teacher, played by Bryan Cranston, doesn't use the drugs he creates and sells — he's a business person. "It's actually very similar to what a show runner does," Robert says with a laugh, referring to his own role on The Good Wife. "Sometimes you feel like you're getting other people addicted ... It's very long hours, very late nights ... there's a lot of money involved."

In the Loop
This 2009 film is a British political satire about the run-up to "an Iraq-like" war. British politicians come to Washington, hilarity ensues.
"It's a movie that really is all about the dialogue and the characterization as opposed to the plotting," Michelle King says. "If you had to summarize it, there's not that much to summarize."
In one scene, a foreign-relations minister is asked whether war is unforeseeable. "All sorts of things that are actually very likely are also unforeseeable," he replies. "For the plane in the fog, the mountain is unforeseeable, but then it is suddenly very real and inevitable."
"Who's the plane and who's the mountain?" the press corps wants to know.
"The mountain in the metaphor is a completely hypothetical mountain that could represent anything," the minister says.
"It is just a constant wall of one-liners that really doesn't let you up from laughing," Robert says.

Team America: World Police
This 2004 action movie — starring puppets — was made by South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone. "Knowing that the South Park guys made it made us want to go see it immediately," Michelle says.
The plot focuses around the search for weapons of mass destruction, and it wasn't terribly well-received when it came out, Robert says. "It satirizes a lot of celebrities, so I think it was thought of as being hate-filled." He remembers reading a Variety essay that called it "disgusting."
The movie, he says, displayed Stone and Parker's willingness "to slap the face of liberal causes — and conservative — and satirize basically everybody."

Twin Peaks: 'Zen, or the Skill to Catch a Killer'
The Kings recommend a specific episode from David Lynch's mystery TV series — the third episode of the first season to be exact, which first aired in 1990.
In the middle of the episode, FBI special agent Dale Cooper shows off his technique for figuring out which suspects to pursue — he says the name of a suspect, and then throws a rock at a bottle. If the rock breaks the bottle, he goes after the suspect whose name he just uttered.
"It was a brilliant recap," Michelle explains. "The kind of thing that would have been so boring but necessary — and yet you're unaware of the fact that you're being spoon-fed exposition and reminders, and are just amused by the comedy of him throwing a rock at a bottle."
"Twin Peaks is David Lynch['s] ... personal coloring box of all his little obsessions, but played out through a whodunit," Robert King says.

The neither the autofocus nor I could see anything to get a clear focus, so I set it to infinity. I think it was too long by about 15-20 feet. Which really surprised me. I think I had the camera on shutter-priority, and I had assumed the aperture would be at 2.8 Apparently, it was at 5.6 (which I would have thought was low enough, too).
Next time, I'll set up the night shot fully manually, and I'll turn off the garage lights which are too bright for very long exposures.
I wasn't thinking this for the MOA; just part of the assignment. Now I understand the colored lights, etc. If we get another show, then I'll go all out for the MOA shot.
(I must be a little distracted at the moment.)

A man accused of stalking Olympic gold medalist Shawn Johnson entered a plea of not guilty by reason of insanity on Monday on the eve of his trial.
Robert O'Ryan, 36, entered the plea and waived his right to a jury trial, clearing the way for a judge to determine if he is guilty and sane.
VIEW THE PHOTOS: Celebs In Court
Opening statements in the felony stalking and burglary case were expected to begin Tuesday.
O'Ryan is accused of going to a Los Angeles studio where Johnson was performing on "Dancing With the Stars" last year in an attempt to meet the gymnast.

Authorities said a search of the car O'Ryan drove from Florida turned up two guns and love letters to Johnson. He also faces two misdemeanor charges involving concealed weapons.
O'Ryan could face nearly four years in state prison and another two years in county jail if convicted. He has been jailed since his arrest last year.
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Michael Pastor warned O'Ryan that if he is convicted and found to be insane, he could be confined to a state mental hospital for much longer.

I popped into Debenhams on Friday when the Chanel Spring Collection launched. I was planning on picking up the blush and one or two polishes but when I swatched the blush I thought it was a bit too pale and sheer for me. So, I bought all three polishes. Ooops! I don't feel too guilty, though, because I had £40 in Beauty Club Card points to spend so these only cost me £12.50 (and I got £6.50 back in points!)
April is a raspberry pink shade. This is one I was going to pass on as I thought it would be just like Barry M Raspberry. It is similar but it's lighter and a bit creamier looking on the nails.
May is a candy pink shade. The only polish I have which is remotely similar to this is Essie's French Affair but that's much lighter. I've not applied this one yet but when swatched, it doesn't look too sheer or streaky.
June is the shade I've wanted from the beginning. It's a light peach creme but it's still bright so this will look awesome with a tan! When swatched, this is the sheerest of the three so I'm expecting to need to use several coats.
I mentioned last week that I'd made an ASOS order, I only got a couple of things.
Tan Leather Clutch
This has now sold out, unfortunately! It's lovely though...I'm planning on using it to keep my essentials together when I'm using a bigger bag.
Oversized Grey T-Shirt
This is still in stock (here). It's not as huge or as long as it looks in this photo but it does look nice with jeans.
Extra Long Coral Necklace
You can find this (here).
I went to Boots to take advantage of my £5 off No7 vouchers. I bought one of their new skincare products; the Beautiful Skin Melting Gel Cleanser. I've used it a few times and so far I'm enjoying it. I'll have a full review of this up once I've been using it for a while. I also picked up a No7 Moisture Drench Lipstick in Romantic - it wouldn't have been my first choice but the Boots near my flat is very small so doesn't carry the entire No7 range. It's a nice neutral shade. I was inspired by Adrienne to pick up the barginous Boots Essentials Cucumber Eye Make Up Remover Gel (it's only £1.42!)
That's all for now! Have you picked up anything nice lately?

David Glenn Smith faces one count of second-degree felony sexual abuse
KCCI 8 News has uncovered a shocking case of child sex abuse allegations.
David Glenn Smith is charged with sexually abusing a child at his in-home day care in Des Moines.
"The kids -- the victim age -- was between the ages from about 4 to 7," said Detective Terry Mitchell of Des Moines police.
According to a criminal complaint, investigators believe Smith put a child on his lap, placed his hands underneath clothing and touched private parts on multiple occasions from 2008 to June 2012.
That June, according to a complaint, the Iowa Department of Human Services and Des Moines police received a complaint from a parent reporting their young child may have been inappropriately touched.
Police said Smith faces one count of second degree felony sexual abuse, but more charges could be filed. Mitchell said he believes as many as nine children may have been abused.
Detectives said Smith and his wife ran a day care inside of their home in the 3200 block of East 52nd Street in east Des Moines.
Detectives say his wife, with whom he ran the at-home daycare, was not involved.
A spokesman with the Department of Human Services said Smith's wife turned her registration in back in July 2012 -- one month after the allegations were made.

I am an electronics and communication engineer, specializing in signal processing. I have some touch with the mathematics concerning communication systems and also with signal processing. I want to utilize this knowledge to study and understand Quantum Mechanics from the perspective of an engineer. I am not interested in reading about the historical development of QM and i am also not interested in the particle formalism. I know things have started from the wave-particle duality but my current interests are not study QM from that angle. What I am interested is to start studying a treatment of QM from very abstract notions such as, 'what is an observable ? (without referring to any particular physical system)' and 'what is meant by incompatibility observables ?' and then go on with what is a state vector and its mathematical properties. I am okay to deal with the mathematics and abstract notions but I some how do not like the notion of a particle, velocity and momentum and such physical things as they directly contradict my intuition which is based on classical mechanics ( basic stuff and not the mathematical treatment involving phase space as i am not much aware of it).
I request you to give some suggestions on advantages and pitfalls in venturing into such a thing. I also request you to provide me good reference books or text books which give such a treatment of QM without assuming any previous knowledge of QM.

2012 PCL All-Star Team Announced
June 28, 2012 9:02 AM
The Pacific Coast League today announced its 2012 All-Star team, comprised of players from each of the 16 PCL clubs. The PCL All-Stars will take on their International League counterparts in the 25th annual Triple-A All-Star Game, set for Wednesday, July 11th, at Coca-Cola Field in Buffalo, New York. The matchup will be broadcast live on MLB Network, the American Forces Network, and the Triple-A All-Star Game Radio Network.
Marty Brown of the Las Vegas 51s will manage the PCL All-Star club, which features 30 of the top hitters and pitchers in Minor League Baseball. Thirteen players were elected to the squad by the balloting of the club's field managers and general managers, members of the media, and online fan voting, while 17 were selected by the Pacific Coast League office.
The PCL starting infield will include Oklahoma City RedHawks first baseman Mike Hessman, who has smashed a league-leading 23 home runs on the season, second baseman Jake Elmore of the Reno Aces, the PCL's batting leader with a .390 average, and his Reno teammate Ryan Wheeler at the hot corner, who has a league-leading 72 RBIs. The starting outfield consists of Reno's Adam Eaton, who holds a .388 batting average of his own, Andrew Brown of the Colorado Springs Sky Sox, who returns to the All-Star Game for the second year in a row, and 21-year-old Wil Myers of the Omaha Storm Chasers, owner of a .638 slugging percentage since arriving in the PCL. The starting pitcher for the game will be Graham Godfrey of the Sacramento River Cats, who is a perfect 7-0 with a 2.18 ERA in 11 starts.
Also elected to the squad were shortstop Adeiny Hechavarria of the Las Vegas 51s, catcher Tim Federowicz and relief pitcher Josh Wall of the Albuquerque Isotopes, designated hitter Luis Jimenez of the Tacoma Rainiers, and starting pitcher Eric Hacker and relief pitcher Heath Hembree, both of the Fresno Grizzlies.
The selected reserve players include first baseman Clint Robinson, starting pitcher Ryan Verdugo, and relief pitcher Tommy Hottovy, all representing Omaha, infielder Luis Cruz and starting pitcher John Ely of Albuquerque, and infielder Jimmy Paredes and catcher Landon Powell of Oklahoma City. Rounding out the selections are infielder Josh Vitters of Iowa, outfielder Joey Butler of Round Rock, outfielder Kole Calhoun of Salt Lake, outfielder Daniel Robertson of Tucson, catcher Guillermo Quiroz of Tacoma, relief pitcher Jonathan Albaladejo of Reno, starting pitcher Tom Koehler of New Orleans, relief pitcher Chad Beck of Las Vegas, relief pitcher Jim Henderson of Nashville, and relief pitcher Barret Browning of Memphis.
With the International League's 3-0 victory at last year's Triple-A All-Star Game, the IL owns an 8-6 lead in the fourteen years since the event changed to the current IL vs. PCL format. The winning League this season will once again earn the right to have its champion play as the "home team" at the Gildan Triple-A National Championship Game which will take place Tuesday, September 18 in Durham, North Carolina.

Hurricane Sandy is just the latest in a growing number of severe weather events. Last week was also a surprise quiz on what infrastructure stands up to extreme weather and what doesn't.
Nuclear did best of all. Natural gas, not so well. Houses built on shifting sand, very badly.
Nuclear power plants had no problems riding out the storm. Although many ideologues tried to stoke fear about how we were going to have a Fukushima here in America, and how we only narrowly averted it, there was never any real danger.
It is notable that the oldest nuclear plants in America weathered the strongest Atlantic storm is history. But hurricanes have never been a problem for our nuclear plants.
There were 34 nuclear facilities in Hurricane Sandy's path from South Carolina to Vermont, including the oldest plants operating in the United States. 24 were completely unfazed and kept generating power throughout the storm. Seven were already in a scheduled shut down for inspection or refueling and were also unaffected. Three were shut down as designed according to protocols that kick in during a major disaster.
No actual problems occurred and all plants returned to normal operations or continued their scheduled refueling or inspections after the storm.
But emotions were high when it was announced by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission that the reactor at Oyster Creek in New Jersey, the oldest nuclear power plant of all, was on Alert.
Water from Hurricane Sandy rose almost 7 feet above normal, threatening the water intake structure that pumps cooling water through the plant. Even though the pumps were not essential since the plant is in a scheduled refueling shut down, and plant operators even moved a portable pump into the threatened building in case the regular pump had been submerged, the sense was that things were amiss.
When nothing actually happened, the alert was called off two days later.
Since WWII, nuclear has become the poster child for extreme events. Ironically, nuclear energy in America is now the poster child for emergency preparedness.
Contrast this with our natural gas infrastructure where we've done a poor job. For days natural gas fires have been burning from ruptured gas lines after Hurricane Sandy ripped up the houses and businesses attached to them.
In a truly heroic effort, gas companies and their field workers responded to thousands of leaks in the region and continue to bring the system into safe condition. New Jersey Natural Gas cut off gas flow completely on Thursday in order to stop the fuel to these fires, but much damage was done. Entire neighborhoods were burned. And it left tens of thousands without gas who need it more than ever.
But in places like Mantoloking, Lavallette and Breezy Point, homes were burnt husks on Wednesday, horrible smells accompanying the hiss of broken pipes and the sight of gas bubbling up through pools of water.
Natural gas' ever-present twin menace – the leak and the spark – surfaced in this storm with a vengeance, as it will in every future disaster now that we've decided to become a natural gas nation in the face of a changing climate.
Our safety record with natural gas is abysmal. Too many people die each year from pipeline explosions and house fires. Like our automatic shut downs of refineries and nuclear power plants in preparation for extreme weather, we need protocols for shutting off gas lines in preparation for extreme events.
Then there are the images of tons and tons of sand covering roads and houses along the coast. For a long, long time sedimentologists have been warning about the dangers of building on sand bars, barrier islands and sand spits into the ocean. We know they are ephemeral. They're part of the ocean-continent boundary that shifts constantly, sometimes dramatically. They are not stable.
It sounds boring, but city planning, risk management, geologic zoning are really, really important. Spending on safety, first responders, FEMA, risk management and infrastructure may seem like a luxury in rough economic times, but they're all that stand between us and the indifferent chaos of Nature.

The Great Liberal Spending Trap
The budget pattern now in place is a liberal's nightmare: money is being squeezed out of virtually every domestic program so the big entitlement programs can be spared. WSJ Washington Bureau Chief Jerry Seib reports on The News Hub. Photo: AP.

... the the ... now things we used to lease week ... it's going to liberals but Jerry sign says they only have themselves to land on this now from Washington D C ... Jerry thanks for being now ... there ... so tell us generate come ... what a little sunny how themselves to blame for the better it's common for those things we still this week ... well I think firstly have to do is look at what's actually happening in the sequester cousin brings this into with the sharp relief but it didn't start with the sequester ... basically what the sequester does is it squeezes defense ... and nondefense discretionary programs install those of domestic programs social programs the congressman's every year ... squeezes them down ... the leaves along the big entitlement programs Medicare Medicaid this'll security almost entirely ... those of the big spenders in those are the ones that are going up a causing the deficit so ... the more those programs and entitlements go up ... the more everything else to squeeze including social programs like you ... will read the ... rest of that this is this following some families ... could start the children's programmes all the things the Liberals off the lot ... wise is happening what's happening because nobody's really doing anything to stop the rise ... in entitlement spending and as long as that happens ... that trend is going to squeeze out spending on other items and so to get your question I think one of the Proms that liberals have is that they spend a lot of time over the last three years fighting in the change ... in entitlement programs ... I've that might hold down the costs ... and the duvet to think hard about that because they're paying the price elsewhere about ... nine is very hard for anyone tempted to type with Thomas because that the effect is immediate and if we if we suddenly say aam well you know ... you Congan this if you ... if you if you're a chatty concave such activity is the red planet to the media what some of these all things ... they take awhile to get through the night ... well exactly and that's really the political problems you work up some goodies entitlement benefits that those of you have Medicare not just by squeezing him out of money ... that doctors and hospitals get out of Medicare but actually ... try to reduce the benefits that somebody receives ... bailed out right away ... and they make a political stink about it and that's the that's a problem ... on the other hand if you cut a program that say for example provides vouchers for rental assistance for low income families ... all that means is that some family down the road will get ... a rattle about to go have a problem or the other teachers program ... over time there's a slow rise in the class sizes those things that show up right away to a slow motion problems ... and they don't have much political impact right away ... that's why the sequester's causing much political uproar ... if it's going to have an effect it's going to be played out over time and ... that's the politics of entitlements first domestic discretionary spending ... on Jerry went so Security was first introduced him not to take a big pot of this this cost on it was going to kick in when you're sixty five new expected to be dead at sixty story so was a pretty good deal now it still kicks in at sixty five was sixty seven ... but you're expected to live to your eighties ... aam ... right what about raising the age because if you raise the age profile people ... aam who was still laughing mounted just that distillers things about what's wrong with that ... well you know that's what I did when it first volley of what people say Sosa Security is not traded to the deficit from that's been true up until about now Sosa Security is now not actually paying for itself in the same way it has been that the numbers have turned around and so it is part of this deficit discussion right now but ... they're a lot easy ways to fix Social Security release relatively easy ways to fix of security to play around with the eligibility age ... introduced a more means testing is actually not difficult if the US policymakers to come up with a few ideas that would make Social Security solvent ... am and self funding for a long time to come but you have to be willing to make the changes ... in their plenty of them out there it's a question to go back to what the point you made earlier are doing to put up a cool political heat on the from and ... to make a big change in the viability those programs in the long run ... well I hope everybody is listening to you in Washington D C now churning out that I that that I could listen and some action

Tour de France tech: Thor Hushovd's yellow Cervelo S5
Plus Alberto Contador's speedy bearings
A closer look at Thor Hushovd's yellow-accented Cervélo S5
Reigning world road champion Thor Hushovd got a nice bonus present to go along with the yellow jersey he and his Garmin-Cervélo squad won in the team time trial on Sunday: a new, yellow-accented Cervélo S5 aero road bike with all the trimmings suitable for the current leader of the Tour de France.
In contrast to some other special leaders' bikes we've seen in the past, Cervélo continue with their latest trend of subtle accents instead of the full-blown monochrome treatment. Hushovd's S5 is mainly black, with yellow stripes and panels on the top tube and fork blades, a bit of yellow on the flattened top of the lower section of down tube, and a yellow "é" icon on the head tube. The bar tape and SRAM Red lever hoods are yellow, too, but otherwise it's essentially standard fare – even the Fi'zi:k Arione CX Carbon saddle retains the usual red stripe instead of a yellow one (at least for now).
Hushovd's build kit is team-issue, including the SRAM Red transmission and brake calipers (but with a steel caged front derailleur and PG-1070 cassette), Rotor 3D+ crankset with round chainrings, 3T's Rotundo classic-bend aluminum bar and ARX-Team forged aluminum stem, custom rainbow-striped Arundel Mandible carbon bottle cages, a Garmin Edge 500 computer, and a variety of Mavic wheels to suit the day. Capping the spec list is a set of Shimano Dura-Ace aluminum-bodied SPD-SL pedals and a de-logoed AceCo K-Edge chain catcher.
Cables are fed into the top of the top tube on Thor Hushovd's (Garmin-Cervélo) yellow-accented Cervélo S5
Speedy bearings for Alberto Contador
On the surface, Alberto Contador's (Saxo Bank-Sungard) Specialized S-Works Tarmac SL3 is a regular production frame with a (very) fancy paintjob and a smattering of top-end components – heck, the SL3 could even be considered old now that Specialized have announced the SL4 and put some other sponsored Tour de France riders on an even higher-end McLaren development mule. However, as we've found with the Spaniard's bikes in years past, it's what you can't see that makes the difference here.
Contador's personal wrench, Faustino Munoz, has long been known to go far above and beyond when it comes to the mechanical details of his client's machine. First off, it's always immaculate whenever we see it (except during and after a stage, of course), with characteristically bleach-white bar tape that's exquisitely applied, a surgically clean drivetrain, and gleaming paint – even the tires look perpetually brand-new.
Munoz pays the same level of attention to the inner workings – in particular bearings. Every rotating item on Contador's bike spins with an almost impossibly low amount of friction that puts even the best box-stock machines to shame. Flick the drivetrain backwards and the crank spins as if there's no chain attached; spin a derailleur pulley on its own and it whirs silently; lift the front end and the wheel oscillates almost perpetually like a powered metronome; and most impressively, even the nearly inertia-free Speedplay Zero pedals will whirl for a couple of seconds if you nudge one with your finger.
Saxo Bank-Sungard head mechanic Faustino Munoz has tweaked the rear derailleur pulleys on Alberto Contador's machine such that they spin noticeably faster and smoother than stock.
What's the secret? Unfortunately, like all top-shelf mechanics, Munoz wouldn't reveal his magic. In fact, he wouldn't even allow us to shoot a video of what we just described. Full-ceramic bearings are a safe bet, however, especially given what we know is in use by a few other riders in the peloton, plus extra-low viscosity lubrication (if any at all). It may even be possible that Munoz has removed a few seals in search of a faster roll (Contador's bike is fastidiously maintained after all – don't try doing this at home).
Reliable sources have also suggested that Munoz is particularly obsessive in terms of bearing preload – something that's particularly noticeable in the bottom bracket, what with the relatively imprecise wave washer setups that are normally used in BB30 systems like Contador's. Our guess would be a finely tuned micro-shim configuration that allows for perfect adjustment.
Either way, to say that every measure has been taken to ensure that Contador's machine is as speedy as possible would certainly be accurate. So does bearing friction matter? In most cases, given the modest gains afforded by the multitude of mediocre 'upgrades' currently on the market, probably not. But the difference in friction between Contador's bike and one off the showroom floor is remarkable and anyone who experienced it in person would find it hard to argue otherwise.
Given a good flick, Alberto Contador's Speedplay Zero pedals will spin freely on their own for several seconds.

COLUMBUS -- Deshaun Thomas scored 21 points -- missing nine straight shots at one point and making five in a row at another -- to lead No. 7 Ohio State past Winthrop 65-55 on Tuesday night.
It was the last tuneup for the Buckeyes (9-1) before Saturday's rematch with No. 9 Kansas. The Jayhawks beat them twice last year, once at Allen Fieldhouse and then in the Final Four.
Whether Ohio State was looking past Winthrop (4-5) and ahead to Kansas, or whether the Eagles just played well and the Buckeyes did not, the game was in doubt until Thomas got hot.
Lenzelle Smith Jr. added 14 points for the Buckeyes, who have won four in a row, all at home, since a 73-68 defeat at No. 2 Duke on Nov. 28 in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge -- a game the Buckeyes led most of the way.
Thomas added nine rebounds and a career-high four assists.
Derrick Henry had 12 points to lead Winthrop, which was coming off a 50-49 upset of Ohio University, which has its top nine players back from an NCAA tournament team a year ago. Ohio came in averaging 74.2 points a game, but was shut down by the Eagles.
No. 7 OHIO ST. 65, WINTHROP 55
WINTHROP (4-5)--Jerome 3-7 1-2 8, Brown 1-2 2-2 4, Bourne 2-5 2-2 6, Smith 2-7 0-0 6, Henry 5-12 0-1 12, Gamble 3-10 0-1 9, Diop 0-0 0-0 0, Johnson 1-3 1-2 3, Farmer 2-4 1-2 7. Totals 19-50 7-12 55.
OHIO ST. (9-1)--Thomas 7-21 4-4 21, Thompson 1-3 0-0 2, Ravenel 2-3 3-4 7, Craft 2-5 3-4 8, Smith, Jr. 5-11 3-4 14, Scott 1-6 1-2 3, Ross 1-5 0-0 3, Williams 3-3 1-2 7, McDonald 0-0 0-0 0. Totals 22-57 15-20 65.
Halftime--Ohio St. 31-30. 3-Point Goals--Winthrop 10-26 (Gamble 3-7, Farmer 2-3, Henry 2-6, Smith 2-6, Jerome 1-2, Johnson 0-2), Ohio St. 6-21 (Thomas 3-10, Ross 1-2, Craft 1-2, Smith, Jr. 1-5, Thompson 0-1, Scott 0-1). Fouled Out--Jerome. Rebounds--Winthrop 38 (Jerome 10), Ohio St. 36 (Thomas 9). Assists--Winthrop 8 (Henry 4), Ohio St. 14 (Craft 5). Total Fouls--Winthrop 21, Ohio St. 17. A--13,707.
Just as quickly, he changed directions again. He hit five shots in a row from the field -- and scored 12 of 14 Ohio State points over a 5 1/2-minute span -- as the Buckeyes took a 47-41 lead.
But the Eagles would not go away.
Henry made a 3 from the left wing to cut the gap to three. Thomas passed up a perimeter jumper with a nifty pass to Amir Williams for a three-point play only to have Gideon Gamble add a 3 at the other end to cut the lead to 52-47.
Defense finally turned the tide, fueling an 8-0 run.
Aaron Craft's steal led to him hitting two free throws. Shannon Scott then tipped away a ball and then broke quickly to the basket, taking a long pass from Craft for an easy breakaway layup and a 56-47 lead.
Williams then scored inside off a pass from Smith and the lead was 58-47. Williams then swatted a shot away and then received a pass from Thomas for an easy dunk to push the lead to 60-47 with 5:36 left.
Winthrop got as close as seven points in the final minute.
Ohio State led 31-30 after a dismal first-half performance. The Eagles set the pace, frequently working the ball around the perimeter until there was just a few seconds remaining before attempting a shot.
The Buckeyes led by seven points early only to have Winthrop hold them scoreless for more than 4 minutes to take a 14-12 lead. Later Smith, who had 10 points at the break, hit a 3 and so did LaQuinton Ross to push the lead back to 31-25.
But a 3 by Christian Farmer -- he tossed in one earlier with a double-clutch, off-balance heave from almost out of bounds -- and a drive by Henry, who had seven at the half, narrowed the lead to a point.
Ohio State, with a decided height advantage, was outrebounded 38-36. It also got little out of its transition game -- usually a strength. The Buckeyes forced 14 turnovers and picked up only 17 points off them.
The Buckeyes, winners of 39 straight nonconference games in Columbus, came in as the second-leading scoring team in the Big Ten at 80.1 points a game.

PRINCETON, N.J. — Physicists and Albert Einstein buffs began flipping light switches and dialing phones Monday night in an attempt at a worldwide relay of lights to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Einstein's death.
The relay got under way at 8:45 p.m. with the illumination of the football stadium and two towers on the Princeton University campus. From there, about 140 groups planned to illuminate everything from campus structures to private homes, one right after another, in a relay across the country.
Slideshow: Life of genius Organizers were then expected to take the relay around the world, using the telephone on some legs, said Claire Gmachl, an associate professor of electrical engineering at Princeton who was organizing the start of the relay. She said phone calls travel over fiber-optic cables, which make them lights, in a sense.
The event, organized by Dr. Max Lippitsch, a physicist at the University of Graz in Austria, has drawn some criticism from astronomers concerned about light pollution.
Einstein, who lived and worked in Princeton from 1933 until his death on April 18, 1955, published three groundbreaking papers on physics in 1905. One of them laid out what is now known as the Theory of Relativity, which deals with the nature of light.
The 100th anniversary of the papers is also being celebrated by the World Year of Physics.

For Glass or Wood Shelves 1/4" to 1-1/4" Thick
For Shelves Up to 12" (305 mm) Deep (Protrusion From Wall)
Typical Applications Include Bathroom Shelves, Displays, Speakers, Collectibles
CRL Heavy-Duty Adjustable Shelf Brackets are designed to work with 1/4 to
1-1/4 inch thick glass or wood shelves, up to 12 inches
(305 millimeters) deep.
For maximum strength in drywall installations, brackets should be secured to
a stud no more than 16 inches (406 millimeters) apart. In concrete installations
quality anchors are recommended. The material directly behind the bracket could
have an effect on the brackets performance. Hard materials such as concrete,
tile or marble do not have the tendency to dent or collapse. However, depending
on its condition, drywall can compress or dent and allow the front edge of the
shelf to slant down. Therefore, the depth of the shelf and the amount of weight
placed on it should be considered in this type of installation.
Maximum recommended weight per pair of DL661 Shelf Brackets correctly
installed is 50 pounds (23 kilograms).
The brackets are secured with one screw
(included) to the substrate. The back mounting plate is slotted and comes with a
serrated square washer for secure attachment after adjustments are made. A
vertical adjustment screw is also included to accommodate various glass
thicknesses. This Bracket has black rubber cushions on the top and bottom to
prevent any glass to metal contact.
Color: Brushed Nickel
Additional Product Information:
The brackets are secured with one screw (included) to the substrate. An
adjustment screw is also included to accommodate various glass thicknesses.
Important Note:
Technologies Inc is not responsible for inappropriate use, poor surface conditions
or overloading. Appropriate attachment to the substrate is necessary.

New For 2013
Lincoln completely overhauled the MKZ for 2013, along with the Ford Fusion it's based on. A turbo in-line four engine featuring 240 hp and 270 lb-ft of torque is all-new, and the V-6 engine grows from 3.5 liters to 3.7 and now produces 300 hp. The MKZ Hybrid now uses a smaller engine, which could improve fuel economy. Lincoln's sophisticated Lincoln Drive Control makes its debut.
Luxury automakers must have a strong contender in the entry-level premium segment, and the 2013 MKZ looks like Lincoln's first real player there. Although the MKZ shares its underpinnings with the 2013 Ford Fusion, it looks very different and packs unique technology such as Lincoln Drive Control, which debuted on the MKS and the MKT earlier this year. Drivers can now select from three distinct modes—Sport, Normal, and Comfort—on most 2013 Lincoln vehicles, and the system will modify steering, suspension, throttle, transmission, and active noise-control systems to fit the desired parameters. We haven't yet sampled an MKZ with the system, but it made a world of difference for the MKS and the MKT. Huge interior upgrades include real metal and wood trim on the steering wheel, door panels, and edges of the dashboard and an eight-inch screen for the MyLincoln Touch system that has caused us headaches in other vehicles. We aren't crazy about the split-wing grille that anchors Lincoln's current design direction, but it looks better on the MKZ than it does elsewhere in the line. At least the new design is ten percent more aerodynamic than the last MKZ's, and the silhouette is closer to Audi A7 than Town Car.
ABS; front, side, and side curtain air bags; programmable MyKey; active headlights; and traction and stability control are standard. A lane-keep system, adaptive cruise control, collision warning with brake support, blind-spot information with cross-traffic alert, active park assist, and inflatable rear seatbelts are optional.

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Jan. 30, 2013) - Unigold Inc. (TSX VENTURE:UGD) ("Unigold" or the "Company") announced today the adoption by its Board of Directors of a Shareholder Rights Plan (the "Plan"), similar to those adopted by other Canadian corporations. Given the Company's exploration results to date on its Neita property in the Dominican Republic, the Board is of the view the prospects of the Company are not adequately reflected in the trading price of the Company's common shares. The Plan is being adopted to address the Board's concern that current securities legislation does not provide sufficient time for the Board and shareholders of the Company to properly evaluate an unsolicited bid for control or to pursue alternatives with a view to maximizing shareholder value. The Plan also seeks to ensure that all shareholders of the Company would have an equal opportunity to participate in the benefits of a takeover bid.
The Plan does not attempt to discourage bids. It allows a potential bidder to make a "permitted bid" directly to the shareholders of the Company without the prior approval of the Board. Such permitted bid must be made to all shareholders and must remain open for a minimum period of 60 days after the date of the bid and for a further period of 10 business days after the offeror publicly announces that the shares deposited constitute more than 50% of the outstanding common shares held by independent shareholders. The Plan also allows for a "competing permitted bid" to be made while the permitted bid is in existence.
To implement the Plan, the Board of Directors of the Company has authorized the issue of one Right in respect of each outstanding common share of the Company, to holders of record at 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on January 30, 2013.
The Plan is effective immediately, but is subject to approval. The Plan requires ratification of shareholders at a meeting to be held within six months of adoption and reconfirmation at least every three years thereafter, failing which the Plan shall terminate and be of no further force or effect. Initial shareholder ratification of the Plan will be sought at the Company's annual and special meeting expected to be held in Toronto in late spring of 2013. A copy of the Plan will be available at www.sedar.com.
Neither the Board nor management of Unigold is aware of any pending or threatened take-over bid.
