Time is running short for entries in the Future of Delta Cotton Student Essay Contest with two grand prizes of $2,500. Give us your ideas for responsible stewardship to ensure the longevity and viability of Delta cotton production for future generations.
All undergraduate and graduate students currently enrolled for the spring 2008 semester at Louisiana State University, Mississippi State University, the University of Arkansas or the University of Tennessee are eligible to apply.
Essays will be accepted through April 18.
Judging will take place May through July, and winners will be determined on or around July 31.
Essays and entry forms must be submitted electronically. For complete information on the contest go to www.FutureOfDeltaCotton.com.
Entries are to be submitted in one of the two judging categories (undergraduate or graduate). Choose one topic and write an original essay using 750 to 1,000 words to address the chosen topic. The topics are:
1. What can growers in the cotton industry do to support and encourage the future production of cotton in the Delta in light of recent acre shifts to other crops, such as an increase in corn production acres to support the demand for biofuels?
2. As someone interested in the cotton industry, how would you market cotton production to future generations of Delta producers to ensure its longevity/viability?
3. Evaluate the impact of cotton production on the agricultural, educational and economic systems of the Delta in the 20th century. What can future generations of Delta cotton producers learn from this history?
4. It is projected that by 2015 China will import nearly half (47 percent) of the world's cotton production. What should the cotton industry as a whole, and more specifically Delta producers, do to make U.S. cotton more attractive to Chinese buyers?
5. What technological innovation has most impacted Delta cotton production to date? What technological advancements are needed to make future Delta cotton production both viable and economically significant to the grower?
The essay contest is sponsored by Syngenta Crop Protection and Delta Farm Press.

The Lady Bisons have a goal of making the NCAA Tournament in the spring. Peck is using the fall practice and game schedule to fine-tune the team for the Atlantic Sun season. Wednesday afternoon at 4 the Lady Bisons are scheduled to play Volunteer State at Draper Diamond. Saturday Trevecca Nazarene visits to close out the fall games schedule.
"We will have team practice for a couple of more weeks after that," said Peck. "We will try to work out some kinks and focus on the team situations we won't really be able to work on again until January."
While that extra fall work is nice, Peck admits that fall games pay the biggest dividends in terms of learning what her players can and cannot do.
"It really gives us an opportunity to see our players in live situations," said Peck. "There are so many things we try to recreate in practice. It is difficult to sometimes without actually facing live pitching. After awhile our pitchers start to figure out our hitters and our hitters start to figure out our pitchers. So it is always good to see some outside competition."
Peck took the Lady Bisons to Knoxville last week to play the University of Tennessee. Sophomore pitcher Whitney Kiihnl held the Lady Vols to one run for five innings. But as Peck started substituting late in the game the Lady Vols widened the lead.
"Tennessee has had a lot of success the last few years and has been to a World Series. I was very, very proud of the way we played the first five innings. They were very complimentary of our program and where we are. They feel like they could legitimately see us in a regional and that was great to hear from some from the outside looking in on our program."
Peck has designed a tough schedule for the spring in terms of non-conference games and also expects the conference to be extremely competitive as well.
The pitching staff is deep with six working to be in the rotation. The roster overall has 20 players vying for playing time. "None of our pitchers had thrown a complete game," said Peck. "I think they have all done a pretty good job…all of the young ones.
"Ali Watson has thrown some great innings for us. When she has had the opportunity she has put in some good work. Katy Ayers pitched Saturday in our Purple and Gold game. She wants the ball. She wants to be out there as much as anybody right now."
Watson is a freshman and Ayers is a redshirt freshman who has made the transfer from Florida International.
Peck stressed that having six pitchers to choose from is a good problem to have with Kiihnl, the 2009 Atlantic Sun Freshman of the Year, serving as the anchor.
"The good thing about it is that we will, hopefully, not have to ride one pitcher," said Peck. "We would like to have all of our pitchers to still be strong and ready to go at the end of the year. We feel like Whitney is our top pitcher. That is not a knock on the others. We just think she is a little bit ahead of the game right now.
"Heading into spring we will have enough diversity and enough experience where we can mix any kind of combination together and not wear any of our pitchers out. We are going to keep working all six of them and see what happens."
Returning pitchers from last season include seniors Christen Campbell and Alaina Jacobson.
One player working hard to find a spot in the rotation is senior Christy Grisham who has seen limited action in the past couple of seasons.
"Christy has had some good innings," said Peck. "We are focusing on consistency and control right now. She has made some big time strides in the last couple of weeks.
"It is going to take a little time. She is taking it day-by-day. She is going to keep improving."

NASHVILLE, Tenn.-About a week has gone by since the Lipscomb volleyball team has started practice and it has allowed head coach Brandon Rosenthal to see his players on the court.
"Preseason is a tough time because you've got a short window to fit so much in on the court," Rosenthal said. "But more importantly you've got that dynamic of that team chemistry that you're always trying to work for."
The volleyball team will be defending their three-time Atlantic Sun Championship this season and Rosenthal feels no pressure being picked first in the conference this season to try to become the second team in A-Sun history with four consecutive championships.
"It's definitely where we want the program to be year in and year out," Rosenthal said. "I don't think there's any extra pressure that we feel from the outside. The pressure that we bring within and the expectations that we have, pretty much do it all."
The Lady Bisons will have an intersquad practice on Friday, Aug. 17 and then the alumni will square off with each other. The Lady Bisons will play against the alumni on Saturday, Aug. 18.
Lipscomb heads to Lexington, Ky. for the UK Invitational and will first play against Long Beach State on Friday, Aug. 24th for the first match of the season.

Running Off
Though Americans like to see themselves as the authority on democracy, the truth is that we do better at sports than we do at democratic elections. As I write this, the Detroit Tigers are playing the St. Louis Cardinals in the World Series. As nearly everyone knows, both teams had to survive a sequence of playoffs in order to compete for the World Championship.
Robert Winters
Eight teams were reduced to four, then two, and soon there will be one World Champion. Of course, many of us would argue that in 2004 the "real world series" between the best two teams was the contest between the Yankees and the Red Sox, but the Sox still had to face the Cardinals before it was all over.
Compare this to the current Massachusetts gubernatorial election. Deval Patrick, Kerry Healey, Christy Mihos, and Grace Ross are each trying to achieve a plurality in the general election. There's a good chance that Patrick may get an outright majority, but a plurality is all that's needed to gain election.
However, Tom Reilly and Chris Gabrielli would both have likely outpolled Mihos and Ross if their names were still on the ballot. In fact, one of them might have even outpolled Healey. So, are Massachusetts voters really given the opportunity to weigh all the choices? I don't think so.
Imagine what it might be like if all viable candidates were allowed to proceed straight to the general election – without any primaries. Vote-splitting among the three Democratic candidates would most likely give unacceptable results.
Now imagine that voters were given the opportunity to rank their choices and that an "instant runoff" system was in place that would sequentially eliminate the candidate with the lowest number of ballots and transfer those ballots to the next available choice – basically the same mechanism we use in Cambridge for our municipal elections except that only one person is to be elected. The governor's race would effectively become a nonpartisan election.
Though it is likely that most Democratic ballots would remain with other Democratic candidates, many ballots would freely transfer across party lines. If Reilly was eliminated, some of those ballots might help Healey, and many Ross ballots might transfer to Patrick. Healey would likely gain ground with the defeat of Mihos.
There's a good chance that the two candidates who make it to the final round might even be of the same party.
I wish we could institute nonpartisan elections in Massachusetts for all statewide offices and for every state representative and state senate race. Under the present system, most competitive elections are in the primaries where voter turnout is usually far lower than in the general election.
When you factor in the fact that there are more unenrolled voters statewide than either Democrats or Republicans, and that unenrolled voters have their choice of party ballot at the primary, it has to make you question why we continue to even have party primaries.
Why not just dispense with them entirely and proceed to the general election where ALL voters can rank their choices and have the winners decided by Instant Runoff Voting? Not only would this eliminate the expense of the primaries, it would involve all voters in the election of a true majority winner without the problem of spoiler candidates splitting the vote of any constituency.
Perhaps the worst example of vote-splitting was the 1970 New York senatorial election when Conservative Party candidate James Buckley, brother of William F. Buckley, managed to win the U.S. Senate race with only 39% of the vote in a three-way race against Democrat Richard Ottinger (37%) and liberal Republican Charles Goodell (24%). Had there been a runoff election, the liberal votes that split between Ottinger and Goodell would likely have joined to defeat Buckley in a near-landslide. So much for democratic elections.
The current system also discourages challengers for state representative and state senate races and, in essence, denies voters the right to choose their representatives. Not long ago, Marjorie Decker was roundly criticized by Democratic party insiders for challenging incumbent Paul Demakis for his state representative seat.
Insiders prefer that these matters be settled behind closed doors without the advice of voters. This year we watched while Jarrett Barrios raised so much money for his Middlesex County District Attorney run that it scared off all but two competitors, Melrose State Rep. Michael Festa and the eventual survivor, Gerry Leone.
Barrios then decided it was a race he couldn't win, so he backed out and re-entered the race for his current state senate seat. Though Anthony Galluccio had already chased out several potential competitors in that race, he was then himself chased out by Barrios – all under the watchful eyes of state party leaders who were delighted to not have a competitive election in that district. Across Massachusetts, actual competitive elections are the rare exception.
If we abandoned all primaries in favor of a nonpartisan general election with Instant Runoff Voting, what role would be left for the political parties to play? For starters, they might actually have an incentive to define a platform on which all their candidates could stand and which could help to ensure that when ranked ballots transfer they stay within the party.
They would still have the option to nominate one of their candidates as the party's preferred choice in the general election. They might also have an incentive to do something they almost never do any more – recruit and develop viable candidates.
Recently, Instant Runoff Voting has been adopted in San Francisco and Burlington, Vt. Voters in Minneapolis, Minn., Davis and Oakland, Calif., and Pierce County, Wash., will vote this month whether to adopt it.
In Minneapolis, the vote will also adopt a proportional representation system similar to our Cambridge system for several elected boards.

The headline made me do a double take: "Spa-goer 101 — Taking the Stress Out of Going to a Spa." If I had found the article anywhere but on the International Spa Association's (ISPA) Web site, I would have thought it was a joke. I mean, who gets stressed over getting de-stressed?
After reading the article aimed at allaying first-time spa-goer fears, I realized it was an issue everyone interested in the healthy growth of the industry needs to take seriously. While Americans are flocking in record numbers to spas — ISPA reports one in five have visited a spa — many people find the prospect of their first visit unnerving and are riddled with insecurities about everything from what to wear to how much to tip. None of us want to appear foolish or unsophisticated even if all we're trying to do is order a bottle of wine in a fancy restaurant. Now imagine attempting that feat while wearing only a bath towel. That's why I sought out industry executives to discover how they soothe newcomers' nerves.
"Our business is conducted behind closed doors and people take their clothes off. That in itself is intimidating to a newcomer," explains Elaine Fenard, vice president of spa development and operations for Starwood Hotels & Resorts. "In my view it is essential to recognize the first-time guests and hold their hand throughout the whole experience. Our mantra is: take away the mystery and the guest will feel relaxed."
Fenard suggests asking newcomers if this is the first time for their scheduled treatment. If it is, then offer a complete tour and explanation of what is okay and what is not.
Anne McCall Wilson, general manager of the Fairmont Spas for Fairmont Hotel & Resort, introduced the concept of spa guides. Once a guest checks into the spa, one of the staff members guides the guest on an orientation tour. All of the staff are trained in the "newcomer's dilemma" and are prepared to answer questions, McCall Wilson says.
Because men want to know the rules, the Fairmont Spa includes the rules in its brochures, and the staff reviews the rules with the clients when they make a reservation. Pay attention to treatment names because men won't buy what they can't pronounce or what they feel stupid requesting.
A cheat sheet that clients can refer to privately can also help calm concerns, says Alexis Ufland of Lexi Design — Spa Definition, Design and Development.
"I always make a mini-sign for the inside of the lockers written in a style that fits the personality of the spa — cute and fun if the spa is young, hip and trendy, or professional and elegant if the spa is more upscale. The list explains the basics, such as 'If you are having a massage, take your bra off, keep your panties on; if you are having a facial, take your bra off, keep your panties on, take your necklace off; turn your cell phone off,'" Ufland says.
Deborah Smith of Smith Club & Spa Specialists addresses first timer concerns with a special section on her Web site, much of it about what — or how much — to wear. However, Smith contends that covering up what's under those sweats is not the only bottom line newbies are worried about.
"Price is typically a key concern of first-timers who may not be totally 'sold' on the idea of indulging themselves with a $100 treatment," she says. Smith suggests mini treatments to encourage low-risk experimentation.
The Ritz-Carlton Lake Las Vegas offers a spa package called Spa 101 Vegas-Style that offers one-night accommodation for two including breakfast and a "combo platter" of four 25-minute sample spa treatments from a user-friendly menu of massages, facials, wraps, baths, exfoliations and salon services. Upon arrival, guests receive an orientation where their questions can be answered discretely.
"The goal is to replace concern with TLC and understanding, to turn the fear of the unknown into anticipation and assured comfort," says Bonnie Crail, director of public relations for the Ritz-Carlton Lake Las Vegas.
For McCall Wilson, relieving the guests' fear of the unknown should begin with the design of the spa — using colors and materials that will make people feel comfortable.
"To me it's not only about calming fears of 'exposure,' but it's also about feeling that you belong and not exposing your spa 'newbieism,'" she says.
To acquaint yourself with some of the many questions and concerns worrying those new spa goers, chill out by reading the Spa 101 article I found in the media room at www.experienceISPA.com.

DINKlife - the Dual Income No Kids lifestyle
DINKlife is the first and only brand for the unique lifestyle of couples without kids. While families, singles, teens, etc have their fair share of resources, dual income couples without kids (DINKs) are one of the fastest growing and biggest spending life-stage segments in the US and globally, and yet they've had no face, no name, and no place to call their own…until now.
DINKlife provides the tools and resources for DINKs to make the most of their unique lifestage and to have fun while getting ahead. With features they care about like travel, money, career, pets, well being and ways to meet other DINKs like them. DINKlife facilitates DINKs contributing to other DINKs by telling success stories and to consume content from other DINKs with user generated content, tips and tools to help them make the most of their life now.
DINKlife.com products are:
•THINK - topics DINKs care about -travel, money, career, love… for DINKs, by DINKs
•LINK - meet like-minded DINKs. Get in contact with the Forum and be inspired by Stories
•SYNC - view and share career or volunteer opportunities on the DINKs-first Job Board
NOTE: DINKlife is NOT anti-kid. It's just a lifestage that allows you to focus on your personal growth and having fun while getting ahead - and not having kids yet facilitates that.
Young Dual Income No Kids (DINKS) are active educated couples without kids, with solid incomes yet moderate to low necessary expenses. They rent, own a starter home, drive entry-level or low end luxury cars, and other than a few student loans are not burdened with substantial debt. DINKs have the time and money to focus on getting ahead, new experiences and are not ready for kids yet, they just want to enjoy this child free lifestage
Age 25-44, HHI $100K+, College educated, Metro area/suburbs, No children
•Brand bullet descriptors that describe DINKs qualities:
o Freedom
o Independence
o Growth
o Experiences
o Upscale
o Fun
DINKS enjoy travel – from spontaneous overnighters to multi-week international adventures – enjoying activities with peers that share their lifestyle, dining out (often during the week), happy hours after work and outdoor activities. They buy gadgets (mobile and for the home/car), understand and enjoy the latest tech devices, and are fluent in the web. They are fashionable, yet enjoy the movement towards casual and hip dress. They live everywhere, with a dominant presence in large urban areas, a strong representation in large suburban areas adjacent to major metros, and even exist in isolated pockets in more removed small suburban areas and rural communities (often in transition).
Need a single visual that answers the question "What is DINKlife". The visual will be prominently displayed throughout DINKlife.com, and could also be a prominent part of marketing collateral as appropriate.
The visual should validate that DINKlife is the brand for them, this is what they have been looking for. It should appeal to both men and women, and therefore not look too "romantic" or "couply". Consistent with the brand, it should be upscale and clever. Fun is good, but in a smart way.
The visual should be consistent with the DINK goal of "having fun while getting ahead". It should represent the freedom and independence of the lifestyle; "whatever, whereever, whenever".
The logo and/or the DL portion of the logo (split D at top) should be included. Colors should fit in nicely with the brand colors and site design (see attachments). Use of product icons (THINK, LINK, SYNC) is optional; if they can be used and meet the other objectives...great!

Brian Moon has had his share of issues with connecting PHP to MySQL, but sometimes, it's harder to track down the problem than others. So, he decided to put a simple trick in place to help him (and the mysqladmin proc command) locate the offending query.
We use a class that I wrote for all of our access to mysql. Its basically a wrapper for mysql_connect, mysql_select_db, mysql_query, mysql_num_rows(), etc. One method to handle all of that. Lots of you probably have one of these objects or libraries. Anyhow, what I did was add a comment into the sql just before I run the query.
Now, mysqladmin proc has the request URI for every query in it. The MySQL slow query log does as well. I know this is a simple little thing, but man, is it useful.
This trick is a quick and easy way to help see what page it is that's causing the issue (since multiple pages can use one SQL call), but it can also be used to help track down other values effecting the SQL as well. Very handy.

Nevertheless, we try to point our discussions back to what it is to be Catholic in this increasingly difficult age, to love God, and how to get to heaven." – Fr. Z

Almighty and Everlasting God, in whose Hand are the power and the government of every realm: look down upon and help the Christian people that the heathen nations who trust in the fierceness of their own might may be crushed by the power of thine Arm. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. R. Amen.

karl r needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 81 designs submitted by 29 freelance designers.
Brielle Pure Action Acne Complex
We produce direct response television commercials. our website is http://www.hm3.com
People that use skincare products. This first product launch is an acne product obviously targeting people with acne, so mostly teens to age 30. The Brielle part of the logo needs to target every demographic.
"Brielle" will be the overall brand name like Revlon or Lancome. The product name is "Pure Action", and "Acne Complex" describes what the product is. Our thought is to have the Brielle part of logo as the most prominent word and in the largest font with Pure Action in a smaller size and Acne Complex in a slightly smaller font than Pure Action.
Suggest that designers look at other skincare packaging for high-end skincare products to see how they do it in style, font and color... but we do want to be distinctive from other brands. FYI the logo will be printed on a cylindrical brushed aluminum bottle that is that is 3 1/4" tall with a diameter of 1 3/8".

We are KIDVENTURES; a vibrant, creative Children's Ministry in a large contemporary church, with a heart for kids and a passion for engaging families through music, art and relevant teaching.
Beneath the umbrella of our main ministry (KIDVENTURES), are several others that will key-off of this:
K-Club (Weekly meeting for children)
K-Club LIVE! (Weekly worship gathering for children)
K-Camp (Summer Camp)
- Our primary audience is young children, ages 5 to grade 3.
- This is a re-launch of an existing ministry that is being completely rebranded, so the market is there, but the brand will be new to them.
- Our market is kids, plain and simple!
We are looking for a logo for KIDVENTURES, which will reflect our chosen theme, which is similar to Dora and Diego, using a traveling, hiking, journey, adventure motif to get kids excited and participating.
The weekly gatherings will be centered around a clubhouse/safari camp, and one of more of the following images should be incorporated into the logo:
- Map
- Compass
- Backpacks
- Magnifying Glass
- Jeep tracks
- Roads
- Paths
- Jeeps
- Binoculars
We see the heart of the logo being:
A simplified, colorful, torn map.
A seal, emblem or patch.
The "K" might be made a focal point, as it will be easier to use across the other ministries listed.
We're looking for:
- Creativity
- Color
- Playfulness
- Action
* Don't feel the need to go primary color. We are fairly open to a color palette that is more refined.
Please show logos in color and black and white treatments. (Don't put the logos on a background, unless that is part of the design).
