Mspiegs needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 63 designs submitted by 21 freelance designers.
I am a lawyer in San Diego, CA. I have developed a web service that allows clients of law firms to sign in and view important information about their case. MyCase Client Manager is a more full name description. As a practicing criminal defense attorney I found that the biggest complaints from clients was that their attorney did not keep them informed enough. Solution, Mycase.
Law firms that have individuals as clients. This will not be directed at large corporate law firms that have corporations as clients. Rather, it will target law firms with individuals as clients, such as criminal defense firms, personal injury firms, bankruptcy, estate planning, etc.
I am open to any ideas out there. I want a relatively simple yet trendy and catchy logo. Something that will be easily recognizable and look good on gear, such as marketing tools like hats, shirts, pens, etc. Name of MyCase or MyCase Client Manager does not have to be in the logo itself.

Advantage South Africa after hosts' top order stumbles
Australia 3 for 111 (Cowan 49*, Morkel 2-25) trail South Africa 450 (Kallis 147, Amla 104, Pattinson 3-93) by 339 runs
Scorecard and ball-by-ball details
A day that meandered through its first two sessions after the fashion of South Africa's batsmen became positively lively as Australia's batsmen first stumbled then counter-attacked against Dale Steyn and Morne Morkel.
The vulnerability of the Australian top three had been widely noted, and they were guaranteed a torrid introduction to this series from the moment Ben Hilfenhaus deigned to pitch repeatedly short when bowling to his opposite numbers.
Replying to 450, a tally reached with less aggressive intent than might have been expected after the second day was lost completely to rain, Australia were in all kinds of bother at 3 for 40 as Steyn and Morkel took advantage of flawed judgement from David Warner, the debutant Rob Quiney and Ricky Ponting. But the opener Ed Cowan and the captain Michael Clarke then responded to their adverse circumstances with plenty of verve, ensuring an unhappy entry to Test bowling for Rory Kleinveldt and leaving the hosts in better shape at 3 for 111 when stumps arrived.
They had one major reprieve in the day's penultimate over when Cowan's glove tickled a Morkel delivery angled down the leg side from around the wicket. The umpire Asad Rauf was not convinced by South Africa's appeal, and their referral of the decision failed to pass the first hurdle when the third umpire Richard Kettleborough deduced a no-ball. It was a desperately close call, and may yet prove a critical one for Cowan and Australia.
South Africa had earlier had a chance to shut out Australia from the match, but from an imposing 3 for 374, the visitors had lost 6 for 76 in the face of improved bowling. Jacques Kallis' innings was astute and efficient until its final ball, but his departure stripped South Africa of the batsman who struck the best balance between attack and defence. AB de Villiers, Jacques Rudolph and Vernon Philander all soaked up a lot of balls for few runs, allowing Australia to feel more confident of their bowling even as the tally crept towards 450.
Facing up to a second new ball that had been due since Friday, Hashim Amla and Kallis began carefully, as Hilfenhaus and James Pattinson found a far better length than they had on the first morning. Amla was particularly reserved, but on 99 lashed out at Pattinson and the boundary sliced through gully had him saluting a third hundred against Australia in as many Tests.
Amla's celebration was muted, his intent to go well beyond the century mark, but on 104 Siddle pinned him on the crease with a delivery seaming back. Australia's appeal was beseeching, Rauf's finger was raised, and Amla exited without calling for a review. Had he done so, the decision would have been reversed, as ball tracking showed a path going over the stumps after Amla was struck on the knee roll.
Kallis reached his century by pushing Hilfenhaus through midwicket, and continued to bat with unhurried insouciance. At one point he shaped to avoid a Pattinson bouncer before waving his bat at it as he crouched, but it was a rare lapse. Nathan Lyon delivered a teasing spell in the 45 minutes up to lunch, finding turn as well as bounce, and encouraged Clarke to keep him on for an extended residency through the afternoon.
Kallis' progress to 150 seemed straightforward when the day resumed, until Pattinson extracted some extra bounce to force an airborne forcing stroke that skewed to an alert Rob Quiney at gully. In his next over Pattinson struck again, de Villiers playing another over-eager forcing stroke that was pouched at point by David Warner.
Rudolph and Philander then engaged in a diffident partnership that reaped only 26 runs in a little more than 12 overs, leaving many to wonder what South Africa's innings goal had become. Philander ultimately fenced at Peter Siddle and snicked the first slips catch of the match, before Rudolph was done in the air by Lyon and collected at cover.
Steyn might have joined them in falling lbw, but unlike Amla his decision to refer Rauf's verdict from Hilfenhaus' bowling found the ball passing well over the top of the stumps. His and Morkel's exits after tea followed a lively 15 minutes in which Kleinveldt struck a pair of sixes and Hilfenhaus did his best to discomfort South Africa's spearheads.
He peppered Steyn with short balls, including one that struck him a painful blow on his bowling shoulder. Morkel received similar treatment, and it was soon apparent that this passage had largely served to add fire - if any more was needed - to the South African bowlers.
Presented with a little less than a session to bat, Australia's initial response was poor. Warner never convinced, as he could make very little of his first few deliveries from Philander before pushing at a swift Steyn offering angled across him and edging into the slips cordon. Quiney's first ball brought an unflustered pull shot, but his second brought an edge at catchable height through a vacant fourth slip, and his reluctance to let the ball go was clear.
Morkel was brought on for Philander, and in his first over Quiney hooked unwisely, arrowing a catch to Steyn on the fine leg rope. Steyn tossed the ball in the air while he ensured he would not step over the boundary, and completed the catch before pumping his fist as though the wicket was his own.
Ponting's stay was briefest of all. Pushing out firmly at a Morkel delivery that could have been left alone, he offered a chance happily accepted by Kallis to drop Australia to 3 for 40. It was the sort of scoreline that had threatened to come to pass given the fragility of the hosts' batting, and had Clarke in to face a still-new ball despite his reluctance to expose himself to it at No. 3.
Through this period Australia's major source of sustenance came from Cowan. A target of much speculation before the match, he showed a simple but effective method, leaving the ball well, eschewing front-foot drives and leaning heavily on the pull and cut strokes. He showed a better balance between attack and defence than he managed at times in his first seven Tests, taking a particular liking to Kleinveldt's shortish length, and showed himself capable of matching wits with the bowlers who had so inconvenienced the rest of the top four.

BY: Louis Oliha, TORIT, SEPT/29/2013, SSN;
The current fate of the arrested Madi leaders cannot be determined. They were first detained in Nimule barracks, later transferred to a Torit Cell, and now into Kobar, Torit main prison. There is already a hard feeling about the procedure the government of South Sudan is using in dealing with this Madi case.
What I too do not understand here is how the legal system works in our country. Taking people to prison without trial does not make any sense at all.
If the people were arrested for what is real, the proceeding of their case is supposed to be treated legally and if found guilty, they are to be convicted and sentenced to whatever the law may say.
Here I looked at justice and defiantly it has no place. What had happened to Nimule Head Chief can be defined differently by different groups of people and the same goes with the imprisoned Madi leaders.
Finding a unified answer may not be easy due to distorted reports from different government officials. The notion in Torit is that the top state officials claimed that they are not aware.
The deputy governor who is in the office of the governor also claimed that he is not aware, and yet the governor remained silent up to now and he is out of the country.
Obviously, the lack of consistency in this matter is raising some concerns and the government apparatus of South Sudan unfortunately is not being sincere to the people.
We are no longer in the bush and the war with the Arab North is over. Nevertheless, the report from Nimule that "the death of Madi head chief and the arrest of Madi leaders were premeditated" is right.
I was in Nimule a few days ago, my relatives lived there since 2005, but due to this incident, I have decided to relocate them to Torit. Most people are convinced that the proposed Town Council had brought this crisis.
Practically, things are now very quite different in Nimule. People are divided in groups; the first group are the Madi who are natives of the land.
The second group is composed of Dinka IDPs who actually don't want the word IDPs to be used against them, but rather owners of the land.
The third group is comprised of other different tribes who are moderate and pose no threats to anyone.
According to the reports from the moderate last group, the situation in Nimule has no difference with pre-1994 South Africa except for the fact that the people are having one skin colour.
People from Dinka tribe have now created their own schools, playing grounds, Bars, and recreation areas, where no other tribes are not allowed.
Shockingly, I couldn't believe these developments at first, but the current incident forced me to go to bring my relatives from Nimule and that's how I found out the situations actually exist.
Eastern Equatoria State was blessed with three Town Councils and we were hoping for development when such ideas come in mind.
Unfortunately it brought death in the State due to inconsistent plan from the Central government in Juba.
If one may seriously ask, What exactly disqualified Magwi County Headquarters to become the proposed Town Council in the County?
Our governor made a very big mistake for which he should apologise. It was him who has not sifted properly what the Juba Central government ordered him to do.
In comparison, Torit and Kapoeta have no problems because the Town Council were put in the right places. Never has it been heard in South Sudan that a Town Council is made out of the County Headquarters.
Magwi County is supposed to be treated like any other Counties in the Country. It was this imbalance in the government scheme of planning which brought death to the Head Chief of Nimule.
The fate of the Madi leaders arrested is at stake, I believe the government is prepared to do anything it can to make their lives a living hell.
Why they were arrested has no significant evidence and the way they are being treated shows gross miscarriage of justice and government brutality on its people.
As head of Eastern Equatoria State, the governor is answerable to the suffering of Madi Community.
For the Juba Central government officials, what you called your government is created by the people. If SPLA/M is doing all these, you should remember that the government of South Sudan is the work and outcome of Ballot Papers from the people of South Sudan.
Piling grievances on the very people will one day translate into uncertainty, perhaps, seriously, a change will definitely make things better.

The London Philharmonic's latest foray into video game music launched today, and it's pretty good stuff. I haven't found any tracks that quite rival the Tetris theme from the first album, but there are some standouts.
I like track three, the Dragon Roost Island theme from Wind Waker, in particular. You can hear above. Excellent. It even has a soprano sax solo!
You can pick up the album on iTunes, at Amazon, or listen to select tracks on Spotify.

Are you tired of that whole thing.. "Brown is the new black, gray is the new black, red is the new black." Guess what? Black is the new black.
Or so Takuya Jinn and Marie Lauridsen would have us think. I combo'ed these two sensational pieces into one outfit to show how well black comes off. (It is also a lot more forgiving for designers and for wearers—hides a lot of sins and we don't have dandruff in SL, so that's never a problem.)
Takuya's top, which comes complete with the silver chain you see, is a useful number as it comes as a regular long-sleeved turtleneck, a cropped long sleeve piece, and the sleeveless one you see here. I would tell Takuya that normally ladies wear their necklace tucked under the turtleneck but other than that, it's great work.
Marie's harem pants are super funky with a great silhouette. Wear them with a dressed up turtleneck or wear them down with a hoodie. They are versatile and have a different sort of look than jeans or pants. (And they show off my fabulous gams, provided here by Tricky Boucher).
The glasses and ring are exquisite pieces from Aslan Kish. They are really for the avatar herself—one spends quite a lot of time gazing at the infinitely tiny prims making up the ring and glasses—prims that are not that noticeable from far away. The shape of the glasses is fantastic.
Finally boots from Onyx LeShelle, a sort of second generation after her first sets that introduced great sculpty work with luscious suede-y textures to the grid. These repeat the formula with a fashion-forward silhouette. They have been out a while, but they are still great. (We at A Passion for Virtual Fashion are not about the newest things. We are about the best things.)

There is currently no available "Beginner" label. The following is the default level label: This gown was worn by Mary Graves Montague of Williamsburg, when she married John Montague, from Sunderland, on October 7, 1830. In its present state, the gown reflects a date of the late 1830s, about 1837, and is an excellent example of the reuse of wedding gowns. Unlike today, a wedding gown in the 18th and much of the 19th centuries would not necessarily have been white. A wedding gown was usually a woman's best gown, worn after the wedding to important events. Fabric was expensive, and remaking of clothing was practiced by people of all economic levels. The large gigot sleeves, pleated into a dropped armhole, have been banded at the top, visually "shrinking" the sleeves that reached their largest size in 1836. The gown is made of a pea-green silk taffeta, and lined with a cloth that resembles pina cloth, or pineapple fiber.

The Migrating Birds...
For anybody who may be terribly disappointed in missing out on the painting, you are certainly more than welcome to purchase one of my new mini bird painting fridge magnet thingies by way of consoling yourself. Yeah I know, I'm so thoughtful! I've made a big bowl of birdie canvas magnets. I've painted a bunch of teeny canvases (5cm x 7cm) using acrylics and have attached magnetic strips to the back. I've not yet photographed them individually, so hopefully tomorrow I'll do that and then list a few in my Etsy shop. So check in there later if you're interested.
Just following on from my Red post of last week, I was seeing a little more red yesterday and wanted to share it with you.
Yup. It is a little more red than I needed to see but I couldn't resist taking a photo when I spotted it. By the way, that is a zoom shot. I'm not in the habit of getting THAT close to complete strangers to photograph their underwear. Really and truly I'm not! I sneakily snap target strangers from a distance. That's socially acceptable behaviour isn't it? Couldn't be any less so than wearin' your jeans half way down your arse. Enjoy the rest of your week and see you in the shadows on Sunday.

Sport Management adds new master's degree
The Department of Sport Management is beginning a new graduate program in the Spring 2010 semester. The 36-credit-hour Master of Science program comprises a set of core courses, and students will be able to select one of two specializations: Sport Administration or Outdoor Recreation Management.
"The Sport Management department believes that the master's program will provide unique offerings, one in which students can train specifically to work with Ultimate LU [campus recreation, intramural and club sports, etc.] and with the athletic department on campus," said Sport Management Department Chair Vicky Martin. "There will be an integration of practical management learning experiences blending effectively with classroom learning."
The program design began three years ago, Martin said, and received SACS (Southern Association of Colleges and Schools) approval to officially begin the program this spring.
Receiving a Sport Management master's degree could lead to careers including collegiate athletic administration, resort management and front office positions with professional teams.
For more on the new program, visit the M.S. in Sport Management website.

CARY – More parents are saying they will enroll their students in District 26 next school year than originally planned, according to district officials.
The school board this week approved adding a first-grade teacher at Deer Path School for the 2013-14 school year. Seventy-eight first-graders are expected to be at Deer Path next year, but only two sections were planned. To bring class sizes down from 39 students to 26 students, the district decided to add a teacher.
With the additional teacher, all of the district's three elementary schools then would have average first-grade class sizes in the lower to mid-20s.
"It brings it down to a more comfortable level," Superintendent Brian Coleman said.
However, even with the additional students, the district still expects to be down in enrollment from this school year.
Coleman said there are more people coming back to the district because it is bringing back art and music.
"We're adding back specials ... some people will return because of that, so this may continue to grow," Coleman said.
The additional teacher already was included in the draft 2014 budget, and the teacher is expected to cost $46,000.
Class sizes at the district's buildings can be fluid between March and the beginning of the school year in late August as people move in and out of the district, Coleman said.
"This is something we plan for each year, staffing level-wise," Coleman said. "We provide staffing in reserve, in two areas, mainly for kindergarten and first grade. A lot of people will take their students out for a full-day [kindergarten] program ... at area private facilities and return them for first grade."
Board member Jennifer Crick said the district should work to find out why parents will keep their students out of the district for kindergarten.
"What aren't we providing these families that are choosing to pay extra dollars to go to another school and then come here?" Crick said.
Board member Kevin Carrick has pushed for full-day kindergarten for about a year and suggested using Oak Knoll School as an early child center for kindergarten and preschool programs. The district, however, can't afford full-day kindergarten.
"A lot of the constraints around it are financial," Carrick said.
Some districts have put in full-day kindergarten, and some charge for the program. The state, however, could make a judgment where districts are not allowed to charge and they could be forced to pay back parents, Carrick said.
"There's some risk involved those districts are putting themselves out in right now, and we are not in the position to carry that risk," Carrick said.
In other action, the district also plans to spend $94,890 on security upgrades. The security upgrades will require people to buzz in when entering buildings during the school day.
The board also decided to deactivate its Community Engagement Committee that meets once a month and use a task force when needed, should additional input be needed on an issue or a major district decision.
The CEC was reactivated in January 2010 as the district was working to balance its budget while evaluating program reductions.
"More recently, CEC presentations have been replications of presentations already given at other committee meetings that are open to the public and available online," Coleman wrote in a memo to the school board.

William Jefferson Clinton welcomed the conquering heroes to the South Lawn with a smile and warm words.
"In a world where professional athletics, in sport after sports, seems more transient ... The Green Bay Packers are something special, unique, old-fashioned, and heartwarming."President Clinton was recovering from surgery for a torn tendon in his knee, hence the cane.
Yep, that's backup quarterback Jim McMahaon in the back row, wearing his old Bears jersey. The '85 Bears' White House visit was cancelled after the shuttle Challenger explosion, and was never rescheduled. Since he didn't get to visit the President as a Bear, he thought his victorious Chicago team should be honored.
Although the custom of giving the Commander in Chief a personalized jersey had not yet become de rigueur, the boys from Green Bay didn't show up empty-handed. The Packers presented President Clinton with a game ball from Super Bowl XXXI and a very 1990s green and gold leather jacket.
We'll see what the 2011 Packers have for President Obama.

by Hugh Gilmore
At the masked ball, Felice had said, "I guess it's time to confess that I bought "Malcolm's Wine" back when you first published it. It sounded like it would be great. I love mysteries, especially those with an intellectual side."
"Gee, that's great," I said.
"But I couldn't finish it," she said, "I couldn't get into it at all. It didn't hook me … I found the storyline hard to follow. I didn't identify with the characters, didn't care about them, didn't like being with them. Sorry, I'm sure this is coming across as harsh, but please take it in the spirit of honest feedback."
Whatever happened to good old-fashioned dishonest feedback? I wondered. You know, "Loved your book!" "Can't wait for the sequel." "You're really some writer, you are." That kind of thing keeps a fellow going for a long time.
But, in truth, one of Felice's many charms was that, despite her use of a pseudonym, she seemed incapable of being dishonest. In fact, the anonymous nature of her forged identity gave her the freedom to say what she meant. You may be surprised, but I took comfort in being in a relationship with someone whose words I could trust. There was nothing false about her. I liked that.
I must stir the pot for a minute. My most recent book, "Last Night on the Gorilla Tour," appeared in February in a "final" version (after 12 years of tinkering). I had a book launch and party at Musehouse. I nearly sold out my initial order of 50 copies – to friends and fans of this column. I signed the books proudly that Friday night.
Then, over the weekend, rereading my book, I caught 25 errors – misplaced commas, repeated words, misspellings and the like. How could this have happened? I'd sold a crappy product to people who trusted me. I started revising it immediately. By Friday afternoon of a frantic week I'd submitted the "2nd, revised" edition to the publishers, Createspace.com.
The following lament is not about technical proficiency. We all know that story and character matter most in a novel. But nothing destroys "the willing suspension of disbelief" (what the reader brings to a story) quicker than a misspelled word. Such errors remind the reader that he or she is not living in Time Past with Interesting Characters, but simply holding a piece of paper. So, this story is not about punctuation, grammar and spelling; it's about authorial suicide. I'd created a virtual parody of the typical 'self-published' book.
Worse: I'd ordered twenty additional copies of it that I'd have to throw away. Wasted money.
Meanwhile, I and my anonymous Facebook fan and critic, Felice (a name I invented for this story), were nattering away nightly. A Chestnut Hill Local feature story about my "Gorilla Tour" book had been published. I was also the subject of a video interview, skillfully managed by my editor, Pete Mazzaccaro, who placed it on the Local's website (here). The revised edition of the book would be ready in three weeks.
Felice got into the act: "Your book finally arrived over the weekend, and I took a quick peek. I was disappointed to find you'd managed to make me despise the main character in the first sentence again."
But Felice, I thought, aren't villains supposed to be villainous?
She went on, "I finally saw your interview video. It was worth the wait! You're a good speaker; I enjoyed the whole thing … your video revved my interest back up." So, she was going to try reading the book again.
One potential problem though – she'd bought the original version. The revised edition wasn't available yet. I figured, though, that any errors she'd be seeing had been corrected in the coming 2nd edition.
Felice wrote: "I started it again today. I'm 40 pages in, liking it better than that first couple of pages, will read 40 pages each day until I'm done. Feedback to come when I get some time. Your corrections won't show up magically in my copy, so I'm making a list for you as I go. Can't help it … But if you think you have only 25 errors, I must tell you I've found a few new ones."
I wrote, "Thank you for reading my book."
Felice replied: "Stop playing humble about your book. It's a weird experience to read a novel while in touch with the author, a first for me. Instead of losing myself in the story, I'm very self-conscious that I'm reading."
At this time, I was a day or two away from departure for Florida with my family. I was too dense to realize I was about to get creamed editorially, too hurried to realize that "a few more" suggested edits – in only 40 pages! – was a severe warning. I casually replied, "My second edition proof arrived. It seemed fine, so I approved it. It's in the works now. However, I welcome your suggested edits if you still intend to offer them. But I'm hoping I/others caught them already."
Just before leaving to catch the Florida-bound train, I checked my email inbox. From Felice: "I have 50-some errors so far. Not what you want to hear when heading to vacation, but you may as well have them." She pasted them into the next message.
I still believed I'd caught them all. On the train, I opened the file of glitches she'd noticed and compared the enumerated errors with the 2nd, revised, edition proof I'd brought along. (But had already approved, since I wanted this book behind me when I went on vacation. What an idiot.) She was right. She'd found 52 mistakes; 35 of them still lingered in the 2nd edition, now in press.
I wrote, "I read your '52-pickups' on the train on my way down here and wanted to throw myself from the train."
About 200-miles later, disgusted, vowing never to write again, I looked down the railroad tracks and thought of a scene in my book where two characters, Linder and his son, Eddie, were walking along a railroad track. While hiding from the law in a swamp, they'd come as close as they ever would to communicating with one another. The scene was marvelous in a sad and weird way. I was really proud to have written it. It had won a first-place award at the Philadelphia Writers Conference. I decided to go on living, but definitely more humbly. I wrote Felice and thanked her.
She wrote back, "I'm glad you found my edits of value. Count on a second batch plus my thoughts on the book in the next few days."
I wrote: "Sometimes a fine-tooth comb edit gets in the way of the rhythm. I certainly do a grammar and spelling check when I write, but in a 100,000-word manuscript many things fool the eye and ear. Four people read the book, two of them with a cold editorial eye, but you still caught things no one noticed."
Later that night, from Felice: "When I read your book, I wasn't scouting for errors, I was falling over them as I read. All I was trying to do was read, and I couldn't help seeing them. But don't let it get to you – for future books, if you want a professional product, it may be worth your while to invest in some professional editing. This doesn't have to cost a fortune. You can hire someone off elance.com or odesk.com. Just keep it in perspective: the story and how it's told is more important than punctuation and spelling."
The next day, sitting poolside under a slatted-roof cabana and covered with towels, I couldn't resist going through Felice's edits and making a scorecard. The results: She'd caught 110 errors, of which I and my crack editing team had caught only 33. That is, I had 77 changes to make.
I sat on my chaise lounger, palms swaying nearby in the balmy southern air, feeling mortified, certain I'd really damaged the small, but good, reputation I'd worked so hard to achieve by rushing this thing through. I'd let deadlines (self-imposed, at that!) rule over sensible caution. I'd hurt myself through feeling an unjustified omnipotence. Three books in a year! Hurray for me.
A cleaned-up "Gorilla Tour" is still not available. But Hugh Gilmore's "Scenes from a Bookshop," based on true stories from his old and rare bookshop days in Chestnut Hill, is. At Amazon and other bookstores, in Kindle and paperback formats.

Latest Media Information:
The leading Petroleum Conference & Consulting Company Euro Petroleum Consultants has announced the programme for ME-TECH 2013 - their annual Middle East Technology Forum. The event, taking place next February, will be the 3rd edition and will be held once more in the grand surroundings of the Madinat Jumeirah Conference Centre in Dubai. The conference has proven to be the essential meeting place for the Middle East Downstream Industry and an excellent platform to keep up-to-date with the latest key projects & technologies in this important region.
The Forum will take place over two days; running with two parallel conference streams on each day.
Day 1 will focus on latest technological developments in the Gas Processing & Oil Refining sectors with a strong focus on the key global market factors and their impact on the industrial development in the Gulf region.
Special attention will be paid to the impact of the US shale gas boom on Global LNG and Petrochemicals; the effects of the high crude oil price: impact on margins; latest proven technologies for clean fuels and how fuel substitution & energy efficiency could lead to a Zero (net) carbon Refinery.
Important areas to be covered in these two streams also include monetization of unconventional gas (shale gas, coal-bed methane), project updates on large scale urea plants, main issues of sour gas field development, accelerating process & catalyst development for syngas.
One paper expected to attract high interest is the presentation from FERTIL, which will focus on their highly anticipated Urea project – FERTIL-2.
The plant, located in the Ruwais Industrial Zone, will produce ammonia and urea, with a production capacity of 2,000MTPD and 3,500MTPD respectively. The start-up of the plant is planned for January 2013 and is one of the most discussed fertiliser projects in the region.
Day 2 of the conference will provide insight into development trends, major producer perspectives, technology updates and optimization strategies in Residue Upgrading & Petrochemicals sectors.
The Residue Upgrading stream will also include presentations by Chevron Lummus Global, UOP, Grace and many more.
NRL Pakistan will present at ME-TECH 2013 a joint paper with UOP looking at investing in the heavy oil refinery expansion project.
Taking a closer look at the Petrochemicals Stream, there will be wide ranging topics presented such as Refinery & petrochemical integration; Technology updates: Ethylene Technology, Propylene production, Synthetic rubbers; Optimisation Strategies & Tools: Life Cycle Management Tools, Beyond Asset Monitoring for Improved Reliability, Standardising & Accelerating R&D.
At the end of each day there will be a Round Table Discussions aimed to provide the delegates with the opportunity to exchange professional points of view, suggestions and ideas.
The Middle East Downstream Sector is facing numerous challenges including low margins, overcapacity and increasingly stringent quality environmental regulations (such as CO2 emissions) - meaning that the role of technology providers is now more important than ever to look at ways to improve efficiency and to process heavier sour crudes.
Adapted Technology solutions will help plant operators improve margins, move ahead of the competition and optimize their potential in this ever-changing market environment.
In the current climate, downstream industry professionals realize that in-depth industry knowledge, expertise and flexibility are imperative for success. For this reason specialised industry events are the ideal way for sharing ideas, exchanging practical advice/experience with their international colleagues, business partners and potential clients.
ME-TECH 2013 will be directly followed by the Russia & CIS Executive Summit – an event uniting top executives of the Downstream Industry, consultants, investors and financial institutions to discuss their strategies and business vision for the Russia & CIS markets.

Immersion Learning Leaves Impactby Howard Hewitt • March 4, 2012 Share:
Wabash students have returned from spring break and those participating in Immersion Learning courses can now reflect on the life-changing experiences.
Three of five traditional immersion learning experiences stayed in the U.S. while two other groups traveled to Europe and Mexico.
Biology Professor Tami Ransom lead a group of biology majors in Southern Florida. Art Professor Doug Calisch supervised senior art students through New York City's art museums and districts. Political Science Professor David Hadley had a group of students in Washington D.C. studying public policy.
The two groups which traveled abroad were led by one of the College's newest professors, Lexi Hoerl, and a veteran of such trips, Rick Warner.
Hoerl took a group of students to Florence, Italy, where they studied public space and public art. Warner had students in Mexico to view Mayan ruins and learn about Archaeoastronomy.
There was an immersion experience going on at the Wabash campus as well. Business Leadership's Betsy Knott supervised a group of students in the Business Immersion Program.
Students traveled to benefit humanity. Retired Mathematics Professor David Maharry headed up a small group of students who traveled to New Orleans to do work rebuilding homes in the area struck by Hurricane Katrina.
Another group of Wabash men visited South America doing medical mission work with FIMRC, the Foundation for the International Medical Relief of Children.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau released final mortgage rules that restrict loan originator compensation methods and increase the level of service loan servicers must provide to borrowers. However, due to the way credit unions already do business, trade associations say neither rule will have a major impact on the industry.
NAFCU President/CEO Fred Becker even questioned the need to include credit unions at all in the new rules. In a statement, Becker said that while he appreciated the CFPB's servicing rule exemption for those servicing fewer than 5,000 transactions, he was nonetheless concerned about the regulatory costs of the rule "given that credit unions have been and continue to operate using solid, traditional lending practices and are second to none in servicing their members' mortgages."
Under the servicing rules, borrowers must receive information regarding options available to avoid foreclosure. The practice of dual tracking, in which a servicer proceeds with foreclosure while simultaneously working with the borrower to avoid it, will also be prohibited. The rule also mandates new disclosure and statement information.
According to the NCUA's Office of Examination and Insurance, the 5,000-loan threshold means the new servicing rules will only affect slightly more than 200 credit unions.
Public Affairs Specialist John Fairbanks said another 40 are expected to exceed the threshold by January 2014, based on the average number of real estate loans originated each year. Of the approximately 6,900 federally insured credit unions, 6,700 qualified for the exemption as of Sept. 30, 2012, Fairbanks said.
However, CUNA Chief Economist Bill Hampel said the rule may affect more credit union mortgages than the numbers suggest.
"I suspect most of those loans are actually serviced by subservicers, and since servicing is a scaled business, they most likely will be covered by the rule," Hampel said.
However, that doesn't mean credit unions that contract out servicing out will be tasked with compliance. That burden will fall on the subservicer, Hampel said, who will have to change procedures and bear the brunt of costs to ramp up compliance.
Subservicers may increase prices to recover those costs, but Hampel said he doesn't anticipate any potential rate hikes to be big ones. But consolidation among loan servicing firms could result from the new rules, he said.
The CFPB's loan originator rules, in a nutshell, prohibit payments that is based on loan terms. Bureau Director Richard Cordray said in a release that the rule will ban the incentives that led originators to steer consumers into riskier, high-cost loans prior to the mortgage market meltdown.
Effective January 2014, loan originators can't be paid more if the consumer takes a loan with a higher interest rate, prepayment penalty or higher fees. However, the CFPB did scrap a provision in its proposed rule that would have required lenders to offer a no points or fees mortgage if they were offering a mortgage with points.
Bonuses or higher pay for selling title insurance for a lender's affiliate is also banned. Originators also are prohibited from dual compensation in which they are paid by both the consumer and the creditor.
Credit unions that sell mortgages to the secondary market should be aware that the new rule may prohibit them from paying originators more for loans that will be held on the books.
CUNA attorney Mary Dunn said the CFPB included specific examples in the final rule to demonstrate when the practice is prohibited and said one example indicated that most credit unions won't be affected.
That example assumes lenders hold in portfolio only loans that have short terms with balloon payments, while selling 30-year term loans, which typically have higher interest rates, in the secondary market. The CFPB concluded that because the rates vary, and the originator could potentially steer borrowers into the portfolio mortgage, holding a mortgage in portfolio "is a proxy for a term of a transaction." Therefore, paying originators more for loans held in portfolio, when accompanied by different rates "over a significant number of transactions" is prohibited under the rule.
The new rule also requires that all loan originators, even those working at credit unions, meet the same character and fitness requirements, be screened for criminal backgrounds and undertake ongoing training about mortgage regulations. That requirement, Dunn said, will result in a significant compliance burden for credit unions.
The final rule also prohibits mandatory arbitration of disputes related to mortgage loans and the practice of increasing loan amounts to cover credit insurance premiums. While most of the final rule takes effect in January 2014, these two parts will take effect June 2013.
To help with compliance, the CFPB said it will, among other things, be publishing implementation guides.
Cordray will join NCUA Chairman Debbie Matz in a town hall webinar at 3 p.m. EST on Tuesday Feb. 5 to discuss the newly released regulations, as well as proposed rules and the CFPB's enforcement efforts.

Author Notes: Last year for our anniversary, my husband and I treated ourselves to a dinner at Kyma - Washgington DC's consistently rated number one restaurant. While we were there, we loved the whimsical riff on a DC locals favorite - the half smoke. They created a mini half smoke and served it on a brioche roll. What's not to like? The half smoke (mainly attributed to a great DC civil rights landmark - Ben's Chili Bowl) is a half-pork and half-beef spicy hot dog like sausage that is steamed over a hot griddle. If you can't get a half smoke you can order one online or you could use a good local brand spicy hot dog or lightly smoked sausage. —meganvt01
Makes: 3 dozen
links of half smokes, sliced 1/3 inch thick
loaves of brioche
high quality dill pickles (the refrigerated kind that have a great snap)
tablespoons spicy/strong dijon mustard
- Slice your brioche loaf into normal size sandwich slices. Use a cookie cutter or a glass that is about 2 inches in diameter and cut rounds from the brioche. Lightly toast the rounds in a toaster - just letting them brown very slightly.
- In a skillet over medium heat, place a batch of half smoke slices in and let them sit for 5 minutes. They should get a really beautiful caramelization on them and render out a good amount of fat. Flip the slice and cook for another 3 minutes, checking for caramelization. Keep the first batch warm in a 200 degree oven on a baking sheet, covered in foil while you cook the rest.
- Brunoise your pickles (very tiny, tiny dice) or as nice little squares as you can get.
- Take a brioche round and top with a warm half smoke. Place 1/2 teaspoon of mustard (or more or less depending on your taste and how strong your mustard is) and decorate the top with a sprinkling of pickles.
- This recipe was entered in the contest for Your Best One-Bite Party Snack

Peter Stephan's search for a match to his rare and unique Armenian bone marrow began only recently, but his struggle with mantle cell lymphoma began years ago with sudden weight loss.
The 53-year-old Glendale resident lost a rapid amount of weight in November 2011. While he believed the weight loss was due to work-related stress, he still visited his doctor and soon discovered he had lymphomas in his abdomen and armpits.
"If you are not positive, you're a blink away from depression," he said.
Soon after, Stephan underwent various therapy treatments, including using his stem cells, for the lymphoma. The treatment appeared to be working, but then the lymphoma returned and he now needs a bone marrow transplant.
But finding a bone marrow match wasn't going to be easy because Stephan is Armenian.
Years of intermarriage have made the Armenian genetic make-up unique, said Frieda Jordan, who president of the Armenian Bone Marrow Registry. As a result, bone marrow donations need to come from someone with a similar genetic match
Jordan and her organization have recruited more than 22,000 donors worldwide and have identified more than 1,500 potential matches.
Events like the Walk of Life on Saturday at Glendale Memorial Hospital, which sponsored it, allows organizations members to recruit potential donors and raise awareness about the need for Armenian bone marrow.
More than 350 people walked in the event and another 300 participants were recruited as potential donors, Jordan said.
"With every step you are going to take, just remember you are saving someone's life," she told participants.
Cynthia Bussey, who is TV reality star Kim Kardashian's cousin, wasn't able to attend the walk because she is undergoing chemotherapy as part of her long battle with non-Hodgkin Lymphoma, but she works closely with Jordan and the organization to also increase awareness about bone marrow donations.
"It took this to happen to me to understand how important it is," she said of being a donor.
While Bussey is still looking for her match, Stephan said City of Hope, a cancer hospital and research center, appeared to have found a donor for him.
Once Stephan's life is saved, he hopes to find his donor and give them "a big, big hug."
"It's not bad to be a donor because you can save a life or your own family's lives," he said.
