As conceived by Laurent, 1951, Rev. Zool. Bot. Afr., 45: 119, Hyperoliidae contained Astylosterninae, Arthroleptinae, Hemisotinae (as Hemisinae), Hyperoliinae, and, provisionally, Scaphiophryninae. See discussion under Arthroleptidae. Liem, 1970, Fieldiana, Zool., 57: 1-145, suggested that Hyperoliidae was derived from an ancestor in Astylosterninae but retained Astylosterninae (as well as Arthroleptinae) in Ranidae. Drewes, 1984, Occas. Pap. California Acad. Sci., 139: 1-70, found hyperoliids to be monophyletic but did not support a phylogenetic relationship with the astylosternines or arthroleptines. Until the revision by Liem, Hyperoliidae was included by most authors as a subfamily in Rhacophoridae. See Laurent, 1972, Copeia, 1972: 198-201, for a summary of the taxonomic and nomenclatural history of this group and related ones, to that time. Dubois, 1981, Monit. Zool. Ital., N.S., Suppl., 15: 225-284, provided a subfamilial classification of hyperoliids. Drewes, 1984, Occas. Pap. California Acad. Sci., 139: 1-70, did not agree with that subfamilial classification on phylogenetic grounds; he considered Afrixalus to be closely related to Hyperolius, Acanthixalus to be close to the Hyperoliinae, and Nesionixalus (formerly in Leptopelinae; see comment under Hyperolius) to be a synonym of Hyperolius (Hyperoliinae). Drewes also supplied generic synonymies and diagnoses. Lambiris, 1988, Lammergeyer, 39: 129, included Afrixalus in Hyperoliinae on the basis of vocal apparatus, webbing, and tadpole morphology. Channing, 1989, S. Afr. J. Zool., 24: 116, placed Afrixalus and Kassinula in Hyperoliinae (rather than the Kassininae of earlier authors), and erected a new subfamily, Tachycneminae, for Tachycnemis. The classification of Channing, 1989, S. Afr. J. Zool., 24: 116-131, is followed here, along with more recent taxonomic innovations. Accounts and keys to most of the genera are supplied by Laurent, 1986, in Grassé and Delsol (eds.), Traite de Zool., 14, and by Schiøtz, 1999, Treefrogs Afr.; Schiøtz, 1967, Spolia Zool. Mus. Haun., 25: 1-346 (for West Africa), and Schiøtz, 1975, Treefrogs E. Afr.: 1-232. Dubois, 1999, Alytes, 17: 90-91, provided tables of generic and family-group name priorities that will be very helpful to those attempting nomenclatural revisions. Emerson, Richards, Drewes, and Kjer, 2000, Herpetologica, 56: 209-230, suggested that Hyperoliidae was diphyletic, with Leptopelis being distantly related to the remaining taxa, and with arthroleptids within this larger group. Vences, Kosuch, Glaw, Böhme, and Veith, 2003, J. Zool. Syst. Evol. Res., 41: 205-213, noted that Leptopelinae is imbedded in Astylosternidae, and placed Kassininae and Tachycneminae in Hyperoliinae. Vences, Vieites, Glaw, Brinkmann, Kosuch, Veith, and Meyer, 2003, Proc. R. Soc. London, Ser. B, Biol. Sci., 270: 2349, provided additional morphological evidence for polyphyly of a taxon composed of Leptopelinae and Hyperoliinae. Channing, 2001, Amph. Cent. S. Afr.: 127-208, provided keys and accounts for the species of southern Africa. Vences, Kosuch, Glaw, Böhme, and Veith, 2003, J. Zool. Syst. Evol. Res., 41: 205-215, redefined the subfamily to include all members of the former Hyperoliinae, Kassininae, and Tachycneminae due to the paraphyly of the first two. Frost, Grant, Faivovich, Bain, Haas, Haddad, de Sá, Channing, Wilkinson, Donnellan, Raxworthy, Campbell, Blotto, Moler, Drewes, Nussbaum, Lynch, Green, and Wheeler, 2006, Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., 297, reviewed taxonomic history, provided a phylogenetic hypothesis and considered Hyperoliidae as the sister taxon of Arthroleptidae, and together the sister taxon of Brevicipitidae and Hemisotidae. Rödel, Kosuch, Grafe, Boistel, Assemian, Kouamé, Tohé, Gourène, Perret, Henle, Tafforeau, Pollet, and Veith, 2009, Zootaxa, 2044: 23-45, reported on uncertainty in hyperoliid relationships based on molecular data. Pyron and Wiens, 2011, Mol. Phylogenet. Evol., 61: 543-583, in their study of Genbank sequences, confirmed the placement of Hyperoliidae as the sister taxon of Arthroleptidae and they provided a large tree of estimate phylogenetic relationships within the family: Cryptothylax + (("Kassina" + Semnodactylus + Phlyctimantis) +(Acanthixalus + (Opisthothylax + (Hyperolius + (Morella + (Afrixalus + (Tachycnemis + Heterixalus))))))). Blackburn and Wake, 2011, In Zhang (ed.), Zootaxa, 3148: 39-55, briefly reviewed the taxonomic history of this taxon. Conradie, Branch, Measey, and Tolley, 2012, Zootaxa, 3269: 1-17, reported on a molecular tree for about 30 species of Hyperolius. Vitt and Caldwell, 2013, Herpetology, 4th Ed., provided a summary of life history, diagnosis, and taxonomy. Channing, Rödel, and Channing, 2012, Tadpoles of Africa: 182–250, reported on comparative tadpole morphology. Portik and Blackburn, 2016, Evolution, 70: 2017–2032, discussed the evolution of reproductive diversity in the family based on molecular trees and on this basis made several taxonomic observations and recommendation, noted in the appropriate accounts. Yuan, Zhang, Raxworthy, Weisrock, Hime, Jin, Lemmon, Lemmon, Holland, Kortyna, Zhou, Peng, Che, and Prendini, 2018, Natl. Sci. Rev., Beijing, doi: 10.1093/nsr/nwy092: 1–5, reported on phylogenetics and biogeography as an element of Natatanura.

A matter of notes
I have tried a number of styles (and no style at all), and am still not settled on an overall, consistent, format for my notes. But I have come up with some moderately useful ideas that I'd like to share.
Trying to find and include a lot of relatives when I started genealogy many years ago, I would often enter a single sentence indicating my source -- something to justify including the individual as part of a family. Later, when I went back to add more details, I didn't want to delete this initial evidence, so I inserted the phrase "originally found in ... "
Sometimes the search was so intriguing I wanted to put down every twist and turn -- the false leads, the early surmises, the circuitous path that finally allowed me to complete the record (insofar as a reconstructed record of anyone's life can be said to be "complete").
I have found it worthwhile to keep references to most family stories, even if they are later proven to be exaggerated, askew or downright false, if only to illustrate for any future family historians that I was aware of the legend/gossip. Why didn't I accept the note from an aunt that my great grandmother's first husband was a Sherwood? Well, because I found Nancy with her Sherwood sisters in various records, as children in the household of their father, Thomas E. Sherwood. Her first husband turned out to be a Hammond. And what about her sons by that Hammond marriage, said to have died young, probably in the Civil War? A look at their ages, and records of their deaths from family bible transcriptions, showed that they died years after the war ended.
These family accounts did offer useful starting points, however, such as the possibility that Nancy Sherwood had been married twice, and that she reportedly had sons who died as young men.
After noting the original source for an individual (even if it turns out to be incorrect), I like to enter information in the notes field in chronological order, with the year highlighted. Thus census records, marriage returns, land grants, tombstone inscriptions and the like are arranged logically and are easy to check. I still put my sources in the notes field, but you may prefer the separate source list that most genealogy computer programs feature. "Copy and paste" keeps me from having to retype too much. I highlight personal names in the notes field too -- it is so helpful to have a program that allows for typographic variations such as boldface and italics!
Of course the chronological arrangement, from birth to death, is just the opposite of what we are supposed to do in our research, working back in time. But often neither is the actual path we take. Looking for a woman's death record, I found instead the death of a child, giving the mother's birth name and the full name of her husband. And searching for a man's tombstone inscription I found, in the same plot, the name of another man, who upon investigation turned out to be a brother-in-law.
Following these leads and placing my findings in order does require a lot of editing and rearranging of notes -- thank goodness for computers and word processing programs!
And I do add comments and observations about the intriguing clues that lead me from one person to another -- they are what makes the whole process so absorbing.

Hi Mary,
Interesting post, thank you for the wisdom and experience.
My notes are a hodgepdge - since I started in PAF, some still have the GEDCOM !SOU type of labels! I put almost all of my sources in my Notes over the years and i'll be darned if I'll take them out now! I did not add Facts for events and things, but if I did then I'd have to Source those too.
Oh well -- Randy

I enjoyed reading about how you put notes into your genealogy program. What software do you use? I use FTM but I'm not well versed on its many features.
- Jennifer said...
Hi, Mary! I just discovered your blog. I recently started putting research notes in the research notes field for an individual in Legacy. I used to rarely use the notes field, but I've decided recently that even though I am citing facts with sources, it is much easier to follow your research path if you put it in the notes as a narrative. So now I do both. I divide my research notes section into Parents' Names, Birth Date and Place, Death Date and Place, Marriage Date and Place, and Other (for other interesting facts). I copy and paste the source citation into the notes field and then write my analysis of what it says about a birth date, marriage date, etc.
- Cindy said...
I also use the notes area of FTM and love that I can go there to note some tidbit that I found and felt needed to be placed with an individual and I like the free space of it. Also if you find something that just doesn't seem correct in comparing sources, you can note it in this area for others you may share the report with. I have seen some who actually transcribe all the details from census records into every family member listed in the household's notes. This of course makes for very long reports etc. Things like wills and deeds and details from such documents as this, which you would want in your reports - I find the notes area is a great place to put them.

Still from "The Haitian Heart of Love" by Carlos Ferrand, Season 2, Episode 26 of A Scattering of Seeds - The Creation of Canada
Early Haitian immigrants to Canada were often part of the elite; many were physicians and academics who had fled their country with false documents, as President Duvalier had forbidden them to leave. For religious and linguistic reasons, 95 percent of the refugees settled in Catholic French-speaking Quebec. Between 1973 and 1976, Canada saw a large influx of Haitians, with more than 3,000 arriving every year. Today, the Haitian Diaspora in Canada counts about one million people.

we have no pictures of andrey as a little boy.
ok – one. we have one picture and he's about six or so years old.
we were however given this sweet gift: our boys look exactly like him.
i often stop myself in our everyday life and catch a glimpse of my dear husband as a little boy while i watch lucas play or gavin napping.
lucas took off into the corn maze last week. he just wanted to ruuuuuun. fast. and as i chased after him, i was overwhelmed with love for andrey's mother. something about the corn stalks and the crisp cold air and lukey's corduroy jacket took me somewhere i've never been before. i imagined her watching her boy run through ukrainian fields. i imagined that she wished the same sweet wishes for him – that i wish for my boys. i imagined also – the tinge of fear we probably shared that these boys of ours might just run too fast and we may just lose them to the adventure of the fields if we couldn't keep up.
i've never met andrey's mother – lucas and gavi's babushka. she's been on my mind lately. especially this month for some reason. i'd been meaning to ask andrey if there was any significance to me associating this autumn season with his mother – until this morning. when i woke up to tell him happy birthday.
this was her growing season.
on october eighteenth, twenty-nine years ago, she first held her baby boy. i wanted to call her today. really bad. i just needed to know what time of the day he was born. something i think a person should know about themselves. i wanted to know how she labored. what kind of blankets he was wrapped up in? if his hair was dark like gavin's was. was he a good nursling? did he cry? and then i just wanted a minute to tell her how much i love him. how i will try really hard to take better care of her boy. i'll remember to love him good.
i wanted to let her know – what a good, strong, loving man her boy has become.

1. Re: Typography effectMonika Gause Apr 9, 2012 8:05 AM (in response to cdeonis)
Even if the striped drop shadow was added in Illustrator, the outlined font may have been created that way.
But if I wanted to make this stuff in Illustrator, I'd add a second fill to the text object and use the effect "Offset path" on it.
2. Re: Typography effectJacob Bugge Apr 9, 2012 8:06 AM (in response to cdeonis)
To get a constant width of both the outer dark part and the inner pale part, each lettershape must have a constant width.
You can create such lettershapes as simple stroked and filled paths, adjusting the Stroke weight (and position).
3. Re: Typography effectcdeonis Apr 9, 2012 10:45 AM (in response to cdeonis)
4. Re: Typography effectJacob Bugge Apr 9, 2012 11:10 AM (in response to cdeonis)
All (three now) images are based upon lettershaped paths. For a start, you can:
A) Create the centre line (stroke/nofill), Apearance palette/panel flyout>Add New Stroke, then drag the new stroke beneath the original one and increase the Stroke weight to get the outer shape and change the colour;
this corresponds to the way the centre line ends in the third image and the C in the second image;
B) Create the centre line (stroke/nofill), Object>Path>Outline Stroke, then Object>Offset Path to get the outer shape and change the colour;
this corresponds to the way the centre line ends in the first and second images except for the C.
After that, you may Object>Expand Appearance and do other things to get the different colours.
5. Re: Typography effectcdeonis May 17, 2012 8:47 AM (in response to Jacob Bugge)
I'm sorry to be a bit thick, but I tried all the steps and am just not following what you wrote. I see this trend everywhere lately and for some reason, can't even figure out what it's called to google it. When you say create the center line...that is precisely what I can't figure out how to do. If i simply type a word and apply a stroke with no fill, hte stroke runs along hte outside of the letter shapes. If I try to center the stroke, it's uneven.
6. Re: Typography effectBob the Sign Guy May 17, 2012 9:32 AM (in response to cdeonis)
It's can be pretty difficult and time consuming to create an accurate center line effect inside lettering. First, lettering with a fairly monotone stroke must be used rather than lettering with higher contrast (varying degrees of thick and thin) in the stems. Then you have to break apart the original letter forms into various path segments and use object blend tricks to create the centerline. Honestly, this is something I can do much faster/easier in CorelDRAW due to the way its blend tool works and other tools like "reverse path direction" that help properly orient the resulting path blends.
Depending on the project, it will be a lot faster (and maybe even cheaper in terms of labor savings) to simply purchase a typeface that has a built in center line already.
7. Re: Typography effect[scott] May 17, 2012 9:46 AM (in response to Bob the Sign Guy)
There's a font......
8. Re: Typography effectcdeonis May 17, 2012 9:48 AM (in response to [scott])
thank you! that's great to know although I know a lot of people are doign this manually and would love to know how. I think I'll just write the original designer. thanks again!
9. Re: Typography effectcdeonis May 17, 2012 9:48 AM (in response to cdeonis)
and now I know it's called inline type!
10. Re: Typography effect[scott] May 17, 2012 9:53 AM (in response to cdeonis)
Truth is... most are lazy. I'm certain Intro isn't the only font with an inline. I can name at least one other (Pipeline from letterheadfonts.com). The path of least resistance is generally the answer. I'd hazard a guess that it's almost always a font used and the inlines are rarely manually created.
11. Re: Typography effectphotodrawken May 17, 2012 10:06 PM (in response to cdeonis)
You can get something very close using CorelDraw:
Convert the text to curves, convert the curves to a bitmap, use the Bitmap Trace (Centerline). The centerline trace is above the bitmapped text and can have its stroke width and colour easily changed.
You need to carefully select the typeface, and still you can see the limitations in the curved parts of the lines and with diagonal lines....
12. Re: Typography effectMonika Gause May 18, 2012 1:31 AM (in response to photodrawken)
The tracing method would work in Illustrator as well.
13. Re: Typography effectJohn Stanowski May 18, 2012 3:04 AM (in response to Monika Gause)
Monika's first suggestion makes the most sense to me because you can keep your text as live text.
1. Create your text.
2. Using the Appearance Panel, add a new Fill and make it (for example) black.
3. Add a second new Fill (again from the Appearance Panel). Make that fill white.
4. Select the White Fill in the Appearance Panel and click on the fx button at the bottom. Add the Path/Offset Path effect.
5. Adjust the numbers until the White Fill shrinks down to where you need it.
Like others here have said, if the font doesn't have a constant width, then the white line won't be either.
14. Re: Typography effectphotodrawken May 18, 2012 8:38 PM (in response to Monika Gause)
How does the tracing method work in AI? I don't see an option for "Centerline" trace.
15. Re: Typography effectWade_Zimmerman May 18, 2012 10:12 PM (in response to photodrawken)
You can doi this in Illustrator but there is some mechanical manpulation as well it is not the same feature Centerline, Iseem to remember that feature is an old one for Corel Draw if i am not mistaken.
But it he OP nees to see what I did I can do a video.
It is not complex but it is not simply automatic either.
zHere is what I gotI did this by actualy adding a stroke and not a new fill and then giving the new stroke a negative offset then expanding the appearance and deleting and move some of the remaining paths.

A centerline feature woould be handy for a lot of purposes
17. Re: Typography effectphotodrawken May 18, 2012 10:40 PM (in response to Wade_Zimmerman)
Thanks, that looks really good. I think I understand what you did, will have to experiment.
For the original samples posted, if a ready-made centerline font wasn't used, I reckon the artist got as close as he could with automatic features and then did some manual manipulation.
18. Re: Typography effectMonika Gause May 19, 2012 4:08 AM (in response to photodrawken)
You can select to trace "Strokes" instead of "Fills". You'll have to edit the options associated with it and then you'll have to expand the trace and make the strokes lighter.

19. Re: Typography effectWade_Zimmerman May 19, 2012 3:17 PM (in response to photodrawken)
It takes a little finesse but you sound like you know what to do.
There is no centerline trace in AI, that is what was posted, they have it in Corel Draw though.

22. Re: Typography effectphotodrawken May 19, 2012 10:44 PM (in response to Wade_Zimmerman)
OK, I tried it in AI CS6. I see that by converting a copy of the text to outlines, creating a stroked copy, and re-positioning that stroked copy, one can then modify the strokes to get the original effect. It also means deleting a lot of path segments...
I did this on just 3 characters, which was enough to see how much work is involved. I learned something -- if I need to do this, I'll save a lot of time by using CDR's centerline trace to get a centerline that I can modify. I found out that copying the CDR centerline path to the Clipboard and pasting it over the text created in AI works great -- all paths and anchor points, etc., are fully editable in AI. Good stuff.
23. Re: Typography effectJETalmage May 20, 2012 5:30 AM (in response to Wade_Zimmerman)
Clearly only works with very certain fonts and probably you still have to delete the a pathe on top of another path.
AGAIN, Wade, the original question is specific to CS5.
Centerline traces are done by turning on Stroke, turning off Fills. The tracing algorithm tries to match the resulting open paths' stroke weights to the thickness of the pixel areas it tries to follow. You don't have to delete "the a pathe on top of another path"--whatever that giberish means. The screenshot I posted is from CS5 and shows the unmodified raw results. The paths are open paths and I did not delete any paths.
The key to it (for those here who can actually listen) is to understand that the Max Stroke Weight slider does not refer to the stroke weights of the resulting paths. It refers to the "thickness" of the pixel regions that are to be treated as strokes during the trace. Carefully read the tooltips that appear when you mouse over the various sliders.
So no, it is not limited to "very certain fonts." It is, of course, not limited to "fonts" at all, because autotracing doesn't know didly about "fonts." It just sees pixels.
The centerline functionality has been there since the beginning of the LiveTrace feature. It's interface is cumbersome and unintuitive crap; and one's time is better spent drawing the centerlines properly. But centerline autotracing functionality most definitely IS included in this poorly executed, overblown autotrace feature.
Again, I have not yet installed CS6 and taken a look at its rework of this hideous feature. So I don't yet know if it is better or worse; or whether its functionality has actually changed or remains the same with merely new window dressing and simplified UI. (The marketing hype claims it has been rebuilt.) But the same checkbox set is obviously still there:
So my guess would be that the same or similar functionality is, too. An autotrace feature without centerline functionality would, after all, be exceedingly lame.
(This checkbox set would be more accurately labeled "Open Paths" and "Closed Paths", or "Trace Around Shapes" and "Trace Along Centers", or "Outline Mode" and "Centerline Mode" [if the options were mututally exclusive, which they are not] or some other such, since "Fills" and "Strokes" is counter-intuitive, given the program's own terminology. Fills and Strokes can, of course, be applied to either open or closed paths.)
My only reason for posting in this thread is to correct the repeatedly-stated misinformation that there is no centerline functionality (i.e.; open path tracing) in LiveTrace. There is, and always has been. That doesn't mean I recommend it for this purpose. I don't.

25. Re: Typography effectWade_Zimmerman May 20, 2012 9:49 AM (in response to Monika Gause)
You two guys are joking right are those satisfactory results or even reasonable results!
If Monika looks at the paths tey are one not cnetered ,two not conforming to the letter form and three not necessarily one path as in the C
As far as JETalmage that's not even close to what the OP wants and fixing those paths has got to be even more work then the method I suggested which is intself a bit of a nightmare.
No you are both wrong there is no way to do a centerline trace in AI not an acceptiable at any rate.
The Op found the solution in this case they have a good result without all the shortcomings.
But at least the two of you have pointed out that the Image Trace cans ill use a little more development and or there is a need for another feature reating type effects which is one of the topiccs that comes up often in the forum.
Such as the 3D type effect in another thread though Monika showed how it could be done the method left little leeway for adjusting the angle and orientation of the extrude return.
You both demonstrated the need for improvement. Good job!
And JETalmage I still say no soap!
26. Re: Typography effectJETalmage May 20, 2012 11:42 AM (in response to Wade_Zimmerman)
Oh, give it a rest. Who do you really think you're fooling, Wade? You simply didn't have a clue that LiveTrace could work in centerline mode, you stuck your neck out with a bunch of overstated misinformation, and now you're trying to save face like you usually do, acting as if you're the anointed holy judge of all posts in this forum.
Try this for a change: "Gee. I didn't know that."
27. Re: Typography effectphotodrawken May 20, 2012 12:42 PM (in response to JETalmage)
Wade is correct on this one. His points about Monika's example are valid.
The best one can say about attempting to use AI's Image Trace to get a centerline is that it only works on very skinny objects, and not very well, at that.
One only needs to look at CorelDraw's centerline trace to see how a "real" centerline trace should work. As I pointed out in my earlier example, it's not perfect when used on type, but is a true centerline regardless of the font weight.

I highly doubt that Corel Draw will get better results. Because it's autoatrace after all. The CD example in this thread shows round letters, so of course the results cannot be compared. The stroke being not in the middle of the letters: my screenshot was taken zoomed out and shows the path. If zoomed in the result is better. Just try it yourself.
As for the typography example in the other thread: I don't know what that has to do with the problem here.
29. Re: Typography effectWade_Zimmerman May 20, 2012 2:36 PM (in response to JETalmage)
Oh really Talmage, you're one to talk.
There is no center trace feature in Image or Live trace and it what you call center trace is not even close to such a feature.
And you can try to confuse the situation all you want no one is going to buy it.
No soap buddy!
30. Re: Typography effectWade_Zimmerman May 20, 2012 2:39 PM (in response to Monika Gause)
Monika it does not work in Illustrator and that really is the issue whether Corel does it better or not is really irrelevant since the OP needs to accomplish what they need to do and not what they can settle for and if they fond that it worked for them then I would say they know from their own results.
Pretty clear to me.
Hard to argue with success!

Then you should compare the two programs when using Bauhaus93 at 72pt. CDR gives a complete centerline trace, while AI gives four short squiggly little lines.
I'm now convinced that AI doesn't have the ability to do a centerline trace. As I said before, only when using skinny objects does one get something "sort of" close.
I want to take the opportunity to emphasize that I'm not here to start a flame war of CDR vs. AI. I'm just an AI rookie trying to learn the strengths and weaknesses of AI. If I discover that something isn't there, or is awkward and clumsy to accomplish, I'll call it as I see it. As I said in a different discussion, I had thought that installing AI would mean I could un-install CDR, but now I know that that was a false hope. I'll need to keep both programs and use each one for what it does best.
32. Re: Typography effectWade_Zimmerman May 20, 2012 3:54 PM (in response to photodrawken)
You;'re not startig a flame war I am not currently auser of Corel and think that though I liked it it unfortuntely did not work on the Mac very well.
I think you are correct and the other stuff might not be an actual reaction to anythiong you posted but more a reaction to what I posted and you should know there are two users on this thread who have never ver said they were wrong or mistaken about anything even when they clearly were.
So it will not get a response as too you are correct they see your point or anything like that it just will not happen never has and they never will admit to a mistake or error or that hey misunderstood.
So I think you answered your own questions and solved your own problems and I think though I am a fan of Illustrator this is a short coming of the program.
33. Re: Typography effectJETalmage May 20, 2012 7:26 PM (in response to Monika Gause)
I highly doubt that Corel Draw will get better results.
It's marginally better. Does a better job more often with right angles and crossing the point of the A, but otherwise makes the same "decisions" as Illustrator's treatment.
Because it's autoatrace after all.
It's all pretty much standard fare. Until mainstream autotrace features get serious with shape recognition and geometry intelligence, autotracing will be what it's always been; a last-resort that should only be used for a small handful of situations. It's never been the automagic panacea that the marketing hype leads newcomers to think it is.
Draw's Smart Drawing tool dinks around a bit with shape recognition, but not really beyond what's been in other programs years before. The name escapes me, but I even remember a short-lived modest little Aldus-marketed program that was doing this stuff, in combination with live connectors.

That not very good in either case and still points to the need for such a feture for various purposes and not just for text.
I would say from lloking at these examples if they are indicative of the best results one can achieve then my mothod would be even if a bit time consuming, all though not ll that time consuming, would be the best approach if one wanted a reall good result.
A better feature would serve Illustrator well. I guess a skelton tool would be very cool.

37. Re: Typography effectJETalmage May 20, 2012 10:11 PM (in response to photodrawken)
That's what I was explaining here:
The tracing algorithm tries to match the resulting open paths' stroke weights to the thickness of the pixel areas it tries to follow....the Max Stroke Weight slider does not refer to the stroke weights of the resulting paths. It refers to the "thickness" of the pixel regions that are to be treated as strokes during the trace. Carefully read the tooltips that appear when you mouse over the various sliders.
For example: Suppose you have a scan of a line drawing that uses several different line weights. It might be anything from a coloring book drawing to a technical illustration. Illustrator's centerline setting for LiveTrace (Strokes on, Fills off) tries to match the several different line weights represented in the scan by individually applying different stroke weights to the "centerline" paths it creates.
The Max Stroke Weight slider defines a threshold (of image pixels). That threshold is where the autotrace decides whether to trace a closed path around a region of contiguous pixels, as opposed to trying to trace an open path along the "middle" of a region of contiguous pixels. (The autotrace feature can do both in the same trace.) So the higher you set that slider, the more often the trace will "choose" to draw a "centerline". So if you're not interested in anything but centerlines, just set that slider to its higest value (100). That tells Illustrator, "If the area you are trying to trace along is 100 pixels or less in 'width', then keep trying to trace it as a centerline, not as an outline."
But remember the first paragraph above: as it does this, it will still be trying to mimic the stroke weights of the paths to the "widths" of the pixel regions it is tracing along. It's still drawing "centerline" paths; it's just also giving them stroke weights as it goes. After the trace is done, though, it's a simple thing to just apply a single stroke weight to the resulting group of autotraced centerlines.
I never said it was intuitive. "Counter-intuitive" is what Illustrator does best. Nor am I "defending" Illustrator. You can badmouth this overrated program all you want to; if your complaint is factual, I'll quite willingly agree. I was simply demonstrating that Illustrator's autotrace feature does indeed include a "centerline mode" comparable to similar autotrace features in other programs in this category, lest anyone be misled by the repeated and completely erroneous assertions in this thread to the contrary.
I also clearly stated that I was not and am not actually recommending trying to use autotracing for this task, just as I very seldom recommend autotracing for anything. Autotracing is a cheap, substandard, amateurish practice for all but a very few special-case situations, wherein it just serves as a "necessary evil" workaround. Especially something as simple as centerlines in headline text like the subject of this thread should be done accurately and cleanly (i.e.; manually), and that's how I do it. If I needed to do it often, I would either buy a font, or use Fontographer or FontLab to edit a font. (This is a good example of the practical utility of CorelDRAW's ability to modify font files—something Illustrator cannot do, and just one of several quite valuable unsung utilities included in Draw.)
In AI CS6, I use these settings...
As I explained, I have not yet installed CS6. According to the marketing hype, the autotrace feature has been rebuilt. So I can't speak to the settings in CS6 or whether their behavior is the same. My guess is that they pretty much are, but I'll see that for myself when I get around to it. The original post was specifically in the context of CS5. Monika's screenshot is from CS6 and also suggests that the functionality is pretty much the same in this regard.
38. Re: Typography effectphotodrawken May 20, 2012 10:12 PM (in response to JETalmage)
If one of your previous examples was the result of tracing 72pt. Bauhaus93 in Illustrator, then I ask again: how did you do that? Step-by-step, please. Not trying to argue the point, just that I'm an AI rookie and want to see how it's done.
39. Re: Typography effectMathias17 May 20, 2012 10:17 PM (in response to cdeonis)
Let's keep this forum's atmosphere upbeat and helpful shall we? No drama. Oh no no drama. Yeah, I just used a Fergie reference. That just happened.
This is definitely a custom work thing.
As already stated, you have to use a typeface with letterforms that faclilitate it in the first place - ones with uniform width.
Not that we haven't beaten this dead horse well enough . . .
One manual trick that may help could be to draw lines across the shapes, perpindicular to each letter's width, drawing the line across the width, and giving them centerpoints. This would create a framework of lines you could then draw on top of, with the pen tool, and draw your own center lines.
And I'm reminded of hard chiseled bevels - how they give that metal, roman lettering look where the very middle of each letterform is raised and tapers down towards the each letter's edge, like a sword blade. I thought, hmm, maybe that's a decent way to find the letter-shapes' centers. At least a rough starting point if you're serious about the "center-line look" for your dressed up type.
Photoshop results (using two weights of Myriad Pro and Bodoni)
Illustrator results (using same fonts. click to enlarge)
If you're wanting something to trace, Photoshop is by far superior. If you Expanded one of the Illustrator results to use as a starting point, the amount of clean-up required would be very counter-productive.
This whole thread is interesting, but I think the subject is being over-analyzed a bit.

While athletes at area institutions are enjoying their summer vacations, the athletic departments at their schools continue to keep busy filling coaching positions.
Two of the hirings that have come to light recently are Kitty McClernand's appointment as the new cross country and track and field coach at Mount St. Joseph Academy, and the selection of John Kelly to head the softball program at Chestnut Hill College.
McClernand knows both the Mount and its runners well. She served as an assistant to longtime coach Karen Orr for a number of years, and her daughter, Katie, competed for the Magic, graduating in 2005 and moving on to run for Lehigh University.
McClernand herself was a collegiate tennis player at Penn State, where she also began to participate in road races, an activity she's enjoyed ever since. Her husband, Jim, had more formal training as a runner in both high school and college, and will lend assistance to the Mounties as his schedule permits.
There's no lack of interest at Mount St. Joe, with healthy numbers on the cross country roster last fall and some 70 girls participating in track and field in the 2011 season.
"We have a lot of strong athletes returning, so I think the varsity should do well this year," McClernand said. "I know some of the girls are doing some core strength training and other conditioning over the summer, and some of distance runners have met up to do some runs together."
Chestnut Hill College Director of Athletics Lynn Tubman came to CHC two years ago from Philadelphia University, and now she's gotten former Philly U. softball coach John Kelly to follow her lead. Everyone at Chestnut Hill liked outgoing skipper Steve Carr, who headed the program for nine years after spending several seasons as assistant coach. However, the softball squad was having a little more trouble adapting to the step up from NCAA Division III to Division II than some other teams at the college. The new arrival, Kelly, has demonstrated his abilities as a program builder.
In six years at Philly U. he turned a team that lacked direction into one with a winning record, and the Lady Rams made their first post-season tournament appearance in the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (to which CHC also belongs). Previously, he shored up the Haverford College softball franchise during seven seasons at the Main Line school, and prior to that he spent a single year at Immaculata University, but recruited five all-conference players for the Mighty Macs in that brief period.
"One of the things we were looking for was someone who has shown success at improving a program," CHC's Tubman said, "and John did that at several places, including a member of our own conference. Another thing I was aware of from my time at Philadelphia University was that John's softball teams usually had the best average GPA out of all the sports there."
One of the areas where Chestnut Hill administrators were not looking to make a change was in their soccer program, but one has been forced upon them. Seamus O'Connor, whose success as women's head coach and overall Director of Soccer attracted attention from Division I schools, was lured away to become an assistant coach on the women's team at Temple University. CHC is already fairly far along in the search process and should announce a replacement shortly.

Third time's a charm for New London
Montville - The pace the last time these teams played, well, didn't even really qualify as a pace. New London didn't break 30 that day. Woodstock Academy won the Eastern Connecticut Conference Large Division.
Then came the second half Wednesday night, when the New London High School boys' basketball team reinvented the word pace in the ECC tournament semifinals at St. Bernard.
"We played New London defense in the second half … first time all year," an emotional New London coach Craig Parker said. "At halftime, I thought Woodstock might have been laughing at us after they made that (length-of-the-court) 3-pointer. I told our kids, 'We're just going to leave it on the floor. The difference was our pressure."
"New London," Woodstock coach Greg Smith said, "has got another gear that most teams don't have."
Third-seeded New London, down by as many as 13 in the first half and 10 at halftime following the buzzer-beating 3 by Tristan Welch, came back to beat No. 2 Woodstock 78-76 in overtime, getting 30 points from Keith Porter and 27 from 5-foot-9 sophomore DeAnte Bruton to avenge a pair of earlier defeats to the Centaurs.
New London, in the finals for the 10th straight year after a great deal of pacing from Parker and a few fist pumps, will face either No. 1 Ledyard or No. 5 Norwich Free Academy in the championship game at 7 p.m. Friday at St. Bernard.
The second semifinal was postponed Wednesday because of slippery conditions on the court at St. Bernard. The floor was wet-mopped between games, which did not give it enough time to dry with the humid conditions inside the packed gym.
That game will be played over in its entirety at 5 p.m. today at St. Bernard, with free admission.
For New London, which trailed 38-28 at halftime, Bruton scored 14 points in the third quarter as the Whalers (15-7) climbed back in the game, its fullcourt in-your-face defense serving as a point of frustration for Woodstock (19-3).
Finally, in overtime, it was New London's De'Vonta Robinson who scored the game-winning basket with 14 seconds remaining, with Bruton having fouled out and Porter on the sidelines suffering through leg cramps which rendered him nearly unable to walk up the stairs to the locker room afterward.
Woodstock's Ian Converse tied the game at 76 with 40 seconds left.
Collin Sawyer had the initial attempt at a game-winning shot for New London, firing from the right baseline. Robinson swooped in for the rebound and scored with an up-and-under.
Woodstock's Welch missed his team's final shot.
In the teams' last game, Jan. 25 at Woodstock, the Centaurs beat New London 32-28.
"They made us play their game," Woodstock's Smith said. "That's what we just talked about, we can never let another team play their game. And we're not very good at their game.
"It doesn't matter if (the Whalers) get it done on Jan. 25 or whenever it was.
It matters when they get it done at the end of February."
Point guard Chris Lowry, who didn't play in the last game due to injury, led Woodstock with 19 points, followed by 17 each from Welch and 6-foot-5 Sullivan Gardner.
After New London got off to a 7-2 lead, Woodstock scored the next 17 points to end the first quarter on a variety of layups by the 6-foot-5 pair of Gardner and Converse and a 3-point barrage that included four by Welch.
Bruton had 10 points in the first half to lead New London, though, and was just getting started.
Bruton hit his fourth 3-pointer of the third quarter at the 2:46 mark to pull New London within 45-44. He left the game a few seconds later after picking up his fourth foul, but that's when Porter hit his stride.
Porter scored nine in the fourth quarter, including the tying basket with four seconds left to force overtime, then as overtime began scored New London's first seven points, including a spectacular fast-break dunk.
"DeAnte Bruton came up huge. ... (Porter) rebounds for us, he scores," Parker said. "It is a great accomplishment (for us)."

Ignored, Now Courted: Hulu Is Belle of the Ball
Ignored and scorned by peers for years, but now suddenly surrounded by suitors? It's not the plot of a teen movie, it's what's happening with Hulu. Heard on the Street's Miriam Gottfried joins MoneyBeat. Photo: Getty Images.

WASHINGTON (LA Times) – Reprising austerity themes that define the party, House Republicans unveiled a budget proposal Tuesday that they say would achieve the ambitious goal of balancing in 10 years, but it has no chance of acceptance by Democrats in what is largely an opening bid in talks with President Obama.
House Budget Committee Chairman Paul D. Ryan of Wisconsin, the former GOP vice presidential nominee and the party's most influential budget guru, resumed his effort to revamp Medicare and other social safety net programs, bolster the Pentagon and dramatically lower tax rates to no more than 25% for individuals and corporations.
The blueprint will reignite a debate over the proper size and scope of government, which Republican leaders are eager to have, but which Democrats insist was resolved when voters returned Obama to the White House in November over Mitt Romney and Ryan.
Democrats are preparing to introduce a counterproposal this week as Obama resumes his charm offensive on Capitol Hill in search of a "common sense" caucus of lawmakers willing to set aside partisan ideology to tackle the nation's budget problems. Over the next three days, Obama plans to meet separately with Democrats and Republicans in the House and Senate.

New iPad reveal happening next week
Apple is widely expected to be preparing a reveal for its new iPad range later this month.
Invites have been sent out for an event on October 22nd, at which it's likely we'll see both the iPad 5 and the second iteration of the iPad Mini.
Rumours suggest iPad 5 will be given a style makeover to more closely mirror the well-received Mini variant and will possibly also offer a TouchID fingerprint sensor.
The big question about iPad Mini 2 is whether or not it will be the recipient of a shiny new Retina high-resolution display. Common consensus dictates this must be the case, considering the sumptuous screens found in rivals such as the new Nexus 7 and Kindle Fire HDX.
Some outlets, however, are reporting supply problems in Asia that may force Apple to postpone such a move until next year.
New processors and faster thingies are a given in both units, with the iPhone 5S' A7 chip very likely to feature.

I saw this Reuters story about an Israeli air strike a little while ago:
An Israeli air strike killed at least 33 people in northeastern Lebanon on Friday and Hizbollah fired scores of rockets into Israel in a worsening conflict that world powers have failed to halt.
It was the second deadliest strike in Lebanon after an air raid killed up to 54 civilians in the village of Qana on Sunday.
That made me curious, since the Associated Press reported yesterday that the initial Qana casualty report was inflated:
The Israeli bombing of Qana became a textbook case Thursday when a new look at the civilian death toll in this week's Israeli airstrike showed it was about half the initial report.
The Qana casualties were re-examined after Human Rights Watch issued a report late Wednesday saying 28 people died in the village Sunday after Israeli jets hit it – not 54 as the New York-based organization initially reported in the immediate aftermath of the attack. At the time, The Associated Press reported 56 were dead.
A Google News search indicates that Reuters has yet to report the reduced casualty count. Interestingly, though, current Reuters stories say that "up to 54" people were killed at Qana, while the original Reuters accouts said "at least 54."

Listings for the PC edition of Modern Warfare 2 on sites such as Amazon, Best Buy, and GameStop reflect a $59.99 retail price, which is the price of the console versions, and a good $10.00 higher than the typical price of just about every PC game in history (thanks Ant/FiringSquad/BeefJack). Pricing of the console versions of the military shooter sequel has already caused controversy, and now it looks like the PC version may as well. We've contacted Activision for comment on this. Update: Big Download points out Walmart.com currently lists the game for $49.82 that also includes a bonus $10.00 eGift card.

As we speed our way into 2014, it's now easier than ever to make big horsepower for the dragstrip and racetrack, yet harness all that underhood anger in order to drive our Camaros on the street as well. That's great, right? Well, yes and no. It's fantastic for those with enough experience to handle it, but as we recently learned this past November, even the most seasoned race car driver can lose it on the street. Now, I'm not going to pretend to know exactly what happened that fateful day in Santa Clarita, California, but sources say that a professional race car driver was behind the wheel of a 600hp Porsche Carrera GT that burst into flames after hitting a light post and tree. Yes, investigators initially suspected that speed played a factor in the accident, and on January 3rd the coroner's office released their official report saying the car was traveling in excess of 100 mph.
Let's face the truth. If you own a Camaro, at one time or another you've taken a "small" risk to "see what she's got" on a long straight or tested the laws of physics by taking to task your car's killer new suspension on that curvy canyon road where there's rarely any traffic. You know you've done it. Yeah, I've done it, too.
On November 30, 2013 two families lost loved ones and race car and movie fans lost two heroes. Roger Rodas was a professional driver and hugely successful financial planner and philanthropist. He also founded a charity to help orphans and widows in his home country of El Salvador. Paul Walker, although more famous through his starring roles in The Fast and Furious movie franchise also had extensive on-track experience. He and Rodas created Reach Out Worldwide, a network of first responders who help in the wake of natural disasters. The point here is that these guys were no strangers to going fast in cars designed to do so. With that said, city streets, no matter how secluded or desolate, are not maintained to handle everything a 600hp car can dish out. A racetrack is cleaned of any debris that could cause a race car to go off course, a city street is not.
Now, if we are to take away anything positive from that day, it's the fact that it made us more aware that even the most "hottest shoe" can lose control of a high-horsepower car in an instant. And if it can happen to a guy like Roger Rodas, it can certainly happen to any one of us lesser-skilled "wannabe" race car drivers.
So, the next time you feel the need to hang it out around that corner—yes, that same one you've taken over a 100 times, or you want to see how quickly "she'll get to a 100" on that long, lonely straight, just remember anything can go wrong at any given time. Regardless of how many First place finishes you've had on Gran Turismo or Super Mario Kart, nothing takes the place of hours of seat time in a real car on a real racetrack.
Although I didn't know Paul Walker or Roger Rodas, I'm saddened by the fact that we not only lost two great car guys, but two really good people way to early. And in the wake of their horrible accident, I can only hope a few lives have been saved due to the fact that it made some hot rodder with more horsepower under the hood than talent in the seat think twice before hammering the gas pedal on a public road.
It got me to thinking twice.
You in?

Lourdes belongs to Gryffindor
Lourdes of Madonna went to school this morning in New York wearing a skull sweater over leggings and a Gryffindor toque. This kind of makes me love her mother a lot. That this girl, who is walking around in a cloud of her own cool, with the clothing line and the blog and the fame and the access, is still as into Harry Potter as she's into black eyeliner. I mean, for all of Madge's f-ckery, at the very, very least, her 14 year old kid looks like a 14 year old kid. And behaves like one too. These are the qualities, by extension or otherwise, I wish we'd see more of from the Madge.
While we're at it though, let's geek out full on and discuss:
Would the Sorting Hat actually sort Lourdes into Gryffindor?
I'm… not convinced.
Everyone wants to be Gryffindor. Everyone likes to think they're courageous and true, but you can't fool the Sorting Hat. Which is why I know I would totally be in Slytherin House. No doubt. I have accepted this reality. As such, all of my sh-t is straight up Slytherin. Hats, shirts, scarves, all of it. Besides, the colour combination of Slytherin is amazing, non?

A 240GB SSD roundup
Subject: Storage | March 2, 2012 - 01:26 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: sata 6Gps, intel 520, mushkin chronos, corsair force 3, kingston hyper x
OC3D have rounded up a batch of 240GB SATA 6GBs SSDs, the Intel 520, the Mushkin Chronos, the Corsair Force 3, and the Kingston Hyper X. The consistent size helps to highlight the difference a controller can make as there are several current generation SandForce controllers represented in the review. Reading through the review keep an eye out not only for the drives that provide the best performance in each test but also for the drives which provide the most consistent performance as some benchmarks will not represent the usage you would get from an SSD in your own system.
"As we bring a new benchmark to the OC3D suite of testing, we thought we'd give you a quick run through of some popular SSDs."

If you are not travelling alone, you end up with people who are either fun to be with or downright annoying -- travellers who will make you plead for the trip to come to an end.
Huffingtonpost.com shares a list of such types of travellers:
- The latecomer: Travelling with people who are always late will screw up your plans. It is always better to tell such people to arrive much earlier than you really need to
- The motormouth: Sure you want to talk to the person you're travelling with, but you also enjoy some quality downtime. People who come go on talking, don't care if you're reading, listening to your iPod, watching a movie, or even trying to sleep. This annoying traveller needs stern and clear boundaries
- The lazy bones: Yes, vacations should be about relaxing, but they should not be about doing absolutely nothing throughout the day. It's okay to sit on the beach for hours on end, but the lazy bones like to sleep in until 11, then have lunch for long hours, then finally make it to the beach, where they'll nap the day away, and you'll be lucky if you even get a night out on the town the entire trip
- The overactive traveller: They will also ruin your travel plans in numerous ways. For example, waking up for a 4 a.m. hike on a 5,000 foot mountain or swimming with the sharks. They are not the kind of people you want to bring with you if you plan to lay on the beach, sipping margaritas and working on your tan
"It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed."
"Envy comes from wanting something that isn't yours. But grief comes from losing something you've already had."

A's Cups - Where it's a Piece of Cake
Hello! My name is Alyssa and I'm very excited to be at the point where I need a logo created. I've been in sales and marketing my entire career and recently went back to school to get my degree in Baking & Pastry Arts. Baking has always been a passion of mine, and I'm excited about this next chapter. I'm in the process of opening up a bakery. I can bake cupcakes all day, but I need your help in creating a fun logo!!
I aim to have a bright, welcoming bakery where all can come and enjoy their favorite cupcake! My customer could be a young child with a sweet tooth, a dad taking home dessert to the family, girls after a shopping trip, a bride looking for wedding favors, or you! I want to be able to appeal to all audiences, while still keeping the girly charm.
I'm looking for a logo that is simple, stylish, and cute. I'd like for it to have:
A's Cups
**picture of cupcake**
Where it's a Piece of Cake
I'd like the "A's Cups" font to be in a simple, block style lettering and then I'd like the "Where it's a Piece of Cake" to look like frosting in a script type font.
I do not want the cupcake to look like it's out of word art or a stock image. Ideally, I'd like for it to be more of a sketch. For colors, I would like to use Carolina blue and black and I'll leave the rest to the designer discretion.
I'm planning to use this logo on marketing materials so I will definately need it to be in a .jpg format. Any other formats that you recommend are welcome!

Why You'll Be Leaving Your Lashes Bare Next Fall
As New York Fashion Week comes to a close, there's one beauty trend for next fall that we've found particularly surprising: a lack of mascara. Some beauty looks have become synonymous with the season: a bold lip, a strong brow, but bare lashes? That just might be the craziest thing we've ever heard. The idea floated from show to show, including Altuzarra, Thakoon, Theyskens' Theory, 3.1 Phillip Lim, and DKNY--all of which presented very different collections. In fact, their only commonality might be the missing mascara on their models' faces. "I just think the face looks more modern without mascara," said makeup artist Diane Kendal, leading the Nars team backstage at Thakoon. "If you're wearing liner, it defines the eye anyway, and if it's close enough to the lash line it does actually coat them a bit." At DKNY, Maybelline's lead makeup artist Charlotte Willer used one coat of clear mascara to separate the lashes, but said black--or any other colour--can overpower the look. "The face looks more pure this way, less doll-like. You notice other things." Most makeup artists eschewed mascara in favour of highlighting something else: at 3.1 Phillip Lim it was the chocolate brown lip, at Altuzarra the spooky red eye shadow, at Theyskens' the luminous skin. At the latter, M.A.C.'s lead makeup artist James Kaliardos encouraged abandoning your own mascara for a day. "A lot of girls get stuck on the idea that you can't leave the house without mascara, but you don't always need it." Unlike Kendal, he does think it's important to pair mascara with eyeliner so that your lashes don't disappear, but wishes more women would go without for a day. "Test it out! Sometimes it really does look better."

"I think it's important to rank in the top tier because families use the rankings to sort out their options," says Wabash College Dean of Admissions Steve Klein.
Wabash ranked 48th in this year's U.S. News & World Report College Guide up two spots from last year. Wabash improved its scores in several categories of the overall national ranking, including graduation rate and freshman retention.
The weekly newsmagazine categorizes national liberal arts colleges as the 217 liberal arts colleges that emphasize undergraduate education and award at least half of their degrees in the liberal arts disciplines. Williams College, Amherst College, and Swarthmore College were U.S. News & World Report's top three national liberal arts colleges.
"Wabash gains national visibility from these rankings, which allow us to enter into conversations with families about the opportunities available through a Wabash education. Certainly the rankings are helpful on a national level," adds Klein.
U.S. News also ranked Wabash sixth among national liberal arts colleges in its "Best Value" rankings. The newsmagazine describes its "Best Values" selections as relating "a school's academic quality, as indicated by its U.S. News ranking, to the net cost of attendance for a student who receives the average level of financial aid." Wabash is the only Indiana college listed among the top-20 "Best Values."
Wabash also shines brightly in this year's Princeton Review's Best 357 Colleges rankings, earning top-10 marks in eight categories and top-20 rankings in 10 categories. The Princeton Review rankings are based on student survey responses from more than 125,000 college students nationwide.
Wabash's academic program was well rated. Wabash ranked fifth in the category "Professors get high marks;" eighth in "Students never stop studying;" 10th in "Professors make themselves accessible;" and 11th in "Best overall academic experience for undergraduates."
Additionally, Wabash ranked second nationally in Princeton Review's category "Best bargain colleges;" third in "Everyone plays intramural sports;" seventh in "Major frat and sorority scene;" ninth in "Students happy with financial aid;" ninth in "School runs like butter;" and 18th in "Lots of race/class interaction."
The Princeton Review rankings for good teaching and overall academic experience echo Wabash's top national rankings in the 2003 National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE), in which Wabash set national benchmarks among liberal arts colleges.
"From a marketing perspective, the national rankings are helpful in drawing attention to Wabash when people otherwise might not recognize the outstanding academic programs available here," said director of public affairs and marketing Jim Amidon. "In recent years, many surveys like NSSE and Princeton Review have begun to ask students about their experiences, and Wabash has shined brightly in these rankings. NSEE and Princeton Review show us that Wabash students are happy with their college choice and getting the most out of their college experience."

George's songs to be released
UNHEARD songs recorded by the legendary ex-Beatle George Harrison, who died in 2001, are set to be finally released, we can reveal.
Insiders say that George's musician pal Jeff Lynne, best known for his band the Electric Light Orchestra, is expected to work on the unknown ditties composed by Harrison during the last 15 years of his life.
"George half-finished loads of songs and often simply forgot about them," we're told. "He amassed an enormous amount of material in the last few years of his life and it's likely there could be another album's worth.
"Jeff and George were very close and worked together a lot in the later period of George's life. It's felt that he's the right man to work on this material. They could have a real gem on their hands."
Lynne, who also appeared alongside Harrison in the late Eighties supergroup The Traveling Wilburys, produced The Beatles' comeback single Free As A Bird in 1995 as part of the group's anthology project
He also co-produced George's last studio album Brainwashed, working on the recording with Harrison's son Dhani following George's death from cancer.
News of Lynne's potential involvement comes after the release of a new George compilation, Let It Roll, which features Harrison's best known songs including My Sweet Lord and Got My Mind Set On You.
George's widow Olivia recently revealed she was also considering what to do with her late husband's unheard compositions.
"There were lots of unfinished tunes," she explained, adding: "Some are closer to completion than others and with those I would ask for some help."
Our source adds: "Jeff is a close family friend and someone Olivia and Dhani trust so he's the ideal man for the job. But the final decision will be Olivia and Dhani's.
They are very protective of George's legacy."
