emergination necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 131 diseños de 40 diseñadores freelance.
Hello. I'm P.J. and I own Emergination, LLC. Emergination is a one man show, a small bootstrapped startup that I am working to get off the ground. My latest project is a recently launched fishing community web site, http://www.FellowFishermen.com. It is a fishing site with all of the Web 2.0 bells and whistles, and will soon have a Facebook app and an iPhone app. I need to start branding the site and a logo is a great place to start.
The target audience here is people who love to fish and know how to use a computer. A lot of the time these two are mutually exclusive, but I am trying to introduce the cooler (and often more complex) features of online social networking, maps, gadgets, and other Web 2.0 technologies to the world of fishing.
This logo will be used in the site's header (with the site name), in an upcoming iPhone application, and shrunk down into a 16px favicon. The logo (without text) should fit nicely into a square, so I can use it as a favicon and throughout the website. The biggest obstacle is that the text "FellowFishermen.com" is very long, so you should find a way for the logo to look good next to or around the title, as well as by itself.
Most fishing logos out there are the classic fish wrapped around in a semi-circle with the tail flipped back. This could be the best route since it will fit in a square, but you might also want to explore other ideas or metaphors for the site. It is a community based site (similar to Facebook or MySpace), allows users to add catches, browse maps to see where fish are being caught, share photos and videos, is integrated with Twitter, etc. Soon it will be integrated with Facebook and will have an iPhone app, and will have lots of fishing info for beginners and seasoned fishermen, forums, classifieds, and more.
That being said, you may want to see how you could incorporate the technologies, site features, or Web 2.0 nature into the logo. Community, sharing, etc. I'm not entirely sure which direction the logo should go, but I'm very excited about this so I'll be keeping a close eye on the contest and giving lots of feedback.
Thanks and good luck!

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (AP) Z. Mason posted 23 points and 11 rebounds, and Chattanooga edged Appalachian State 91-88 in overtime Thursday in a Southern Conference game.
Dontay Hampton came off the bench for 22, Ronrice White nailed 9 of 10 free throws for 17 points and Drazen Zlovaris had 10.
Appalachian State (7-9, 3-2) led 60-42 with 8:48 remaining but Chattanooga outscored the Mountaineers 33-15 over the next 7 minutes to cut the deficit to 77-75. Mason capped the spurt with a 3-pointer and layup and Hampton's 3-pointer with 18 seconds showing sent the game into OT.
The teams battled to the game's fourth tie, 85-85, in overtime, but Mason hit a layup and Appalachian State went just 1 for 4 over the final 2 minutes as Chattanooga (8-10, 3-2) pulled away. White hit four free throws over the final 22 seconds.
Nathan Healy had 22 points and 10 boards for Appalachian State.

Should Ryan Lochte be the new bachelor?
The swimmer already appeared in a questionable Funny or Die video, and there have been rumors floating around that Lochte is being considered for either Dancing with the Stars or the new Bachelor (spokespeople for both shows told EW that the programs never comment on casting rumors). Lochte himself told Matt Lauer, "I'm definitely looking towards Dancing With the Stars and The Bachelor, so we'll see what happens."
Bachelor host Chris Harrison even added his two cents, tweeting, "@fleissmeister just told me he liked Ryan Lochte in his speedo so much he's now on short list for
It's not the worst idea. Thanks to his mom, we all know Lochte is currently single. Tell me I'm not the only one who has a morbid curiosity what a "Ryan Lochte Most. Shocking. Rose. Ceremony. Ever." would look like. As for Dancing, many former Olympians (Shawn Johnson, Apolo Ohno) have had success cashing in their name recognition and competitive spirit for sequins and ridiculousness.
Beyond reality shows, a buzzy Michael Phelps hosted Saturday Night Live in September 2008 (with so-so results) after returning from the Games. Will Lochte follow swimsuit?

On Day Three of the Elephant Summit the attendees were treated to leading edge insights into the natural lives of elephants in the wild. This came directly from the experts who lived in the wild with the animals. There are of course dire problems in the wild, but talking about individual elephants and wildlife habitat feels so much more hopeful and joyful than talking about captive elephants whose natural life behaviors and homes have been ripped away from them.
Much of what we know about natural elephant behavior has come from the Amboseli Research Project in Kenya. Dr. Joyce Poole and her husband Petter Granli pioneered many of the studies at Amboseli dating back to 1975. This past year she wanted to build on what was learned and take it to a different elephant population – in the Maasai Mara National Reserve. In Amboseli the information was gathered by researchers and assistants. Now Joyce and Petter have set up a more inclusive project, involving those already involved in the Mara working as guides, and scouts. All the information does not have to be gathered in a computer.
They chose the Mara population because it is part of the Serengeti Mara Ecosystem, called the Eighth Wonder of the world. It is the biggest tourist area in Kenya. Due to the horrific poaching taking place all over Africa, Joyce says that many populations of elephants won't make it. The population at the Mara has the best chance. Besides the poaching, the human-elephant conflict is a big problem in this ecosystem. In January alone, 23 elephants were killed there. The Reserve is small compared to the actual area the elephants use. There are many conservancies coming into being on Maasai land. The Maasai people are being paid monthly to use their land. A typical male elephant gets into crop raiding. Arrow wounds on the elephants are more and more common.
The future lies in the hands of the kids. Most see the elephants as big and terrifying. "We will only conserve what we love, only love what we understand, and only understand what we are taught" is one of Joyce's mottos that she paraphrases from the words of Baba Dioum.
A cell phone ap has been build to help identify elephants in the Mara. Locals have told her, "Elephants are awesome when you are i.d.ing". It is inspiring people in the Mara, both residents and visitors to work together to protect them. Lodges and camps want to do more to help. As the human population continues to explode, it puts more and more stress on the animals. Elephants learn fast where they are safe. There is a need to keep them moving and safe. Now they are relaxed in some areas and terrified in others. They are concentrating on areas where there is not so much protection—giving cell phones to young herders to get them invested from an early age. They are reaching out to the youth, reaching into schools and targeting young Massai for saving elephants.
Dr. Keith Lindsay mentioned that the Amboseli project is in its 40th year. The approach has always been minimal intervention. Keith says it is impossible to work with them, even as detatched scientists, and not get attached. Everyone in the room understood that and that's why we were all there.
Dr. Caitlin O'Connell-Rodwell, an investigator in the field of elephant communications a Rhode International Fellow studied elephants in Namibia and had another project in Asia. She thanked Pat Derby and Ed Stewart for being her elephant parents and also thanked Colleen Kinzley and one of the Summit coordinators, Curator at the Oakland Zoo for her careful work with her in the field on her Masters. Caitlin works at Stanford now on low frequency hearing in mammals. Elephants vocalize in low frequencies that go long distances. Elephants can communicate with one another miles apart by making subsonic calls that vibrate the ground, researchers established a few years ago. But Caitlin discovered that elephants receiving the calls monitor the vibrating ground through both their feet and trunks.
Her team worked with desert dwellers in Namibia , and there were conflicts with crops and water. Among other devices they were able to use the low rumblings of lions recordings to steer herds in a different direction when they became very invasive to human agriculture. Bulls don't care so much about predator calls but move quickly when low estrus calls are detected, particularly when they are in musth,which can be used to help move them for their own protection.
Winnie Kiiru is an associate director at the Amboseli project and Director of Conservation Kenya. She learned so much from studying the famous Echo elephant matriarch and her family. She learned how the matriarch guides, protects and makes decisions for her family. The elephants are never alone. They watch the babies play, participate, have fun, and move together. Echo made intelligent decisions about what is safe and not safe for her family and she would walk her family through crises.
To Winnie this is the most essential element of elephants: family. Winnie passionately told us, "Elephants are family, freedom, choice, where to go when to do what to do it when to stop. Everything that removes them away from that level of interaction is a disservice to them. We must start here: see what elephants teach us when we let them be." She has seen their amazing bonding, celebrating and greeting ceremonies. "This is what I have seen and learned from being in the wild with elephants in Amboseli. We must not forget what elephants are about."
Winnie spoke of the conflict of elephants outside the park where there are farmers who depend entirely on their crops. Many innovations have been tried and work for a time until the elephant figures it out, such as chili pepper and tobacco on ropes around the crops. She is convinced that the way forward is the involvement of farmers and authorities and that they be made to understand the conservation angle or else they will remain enemies of elephants.
Sharon Neil is a researcher in Tsavo and Voi, Kenya. She talked about the big tusk as being the "harbinger of death." And what will become of these baby elephants: poaching, habitat fragmentation, human encroachment, deforestation, livestock overgraze, politics, climate change are all threats. Dwindling waterholes and drought: in the future the continent of Africa will have even more droughts; this is catastrophic for elephants.
Poaching funds war, funds political figures who want to give favors for their own political gain. Black market ivory carving prices have soared form $325 to $1400 a pound. Elephant tusks can reach over 10 feet long weigh over 200 pounds. On the black market that is $63,000 dollars. Then there is table meat: in the past, a train would hit an animal and villagers would get the dead animal and eat. Now elephant meat is sought as the meat and the villager takes off tusks for a rainy day. It is also smoked and sold to a higher echelon of economic strata. Like they used to eat cheetah meat. In 2011 twenty-four tons of ivory were seized by forces: how much got away?
Some anti-poaching strategies include: DNA profiling analyses, migration corridors, community education, bloodhound tracking of poachers, Interpol/traffic/ FBI US Fish and Game;-Law enforcement INTERPOL/ TRAFFIC from the UK stepping up offensive.
Joyce Poole added that sometimes elephants have been moved great distances and they make their way back which makes the mortality rates much higher; they tried to hang out in habitats similar to ones they just came from.
During an inspired discussion with Joyce, Caitlin, Sharon and Colleen it came out that "Endangered Species" should have been labeled "endangered habitats" and then perhaps we would think about the problem more correctly.
We were treated to long clips from Elephant Wars, the exciting documentary starring Dr. Joyce Poole and filmed by her brother, famed cinematographer Bob Poole. In Mozambique Joyce was brought in to use her expertise to calm down elephants suffering from PTSD after a brutal twenty-year war chopped down the majority of their fellow elephant brothers, sisters, mothers, and cousins. In an attempt to rebuild the area for tourism, the elephants had to be helped through their lingering fears, traumas-- and consequent aggression. Elephant Wars will screen on National Geographic television on April 22.
One can hardly think and talk about wildlife without facing alarming facts about the huge threats to their very existence. Hearing about all the seemingly insurmountable problems felt devastating to all the elephant lovers in the room. Joyce Poole has worked in the field for decades and is well aware of all the issues. And yet she tried to end on a positive note. She said that she feels hopeful that we can protect elephants in the wild. She says that although we can't save every population," working together can have great success stories."
On a personal note, we are the elephant keepers. We who love the elephant must keep our eye on the fight and through education and funding and whatever we can do, raise the consciousness of the sleeping masses to wake up and save our precious animal heritage. Elephants are highly evolved beings, and may even be more intelligent than humans. Rather than force them to live for our amusement we can learn so much from them if we allow them to live in their own lifestyles and find ways to respect them and their habitats, and co-exist with them.

About Us
Transition 101
Transition Towns
Knowledge Hub
Most of us have them -- dusty piles of unused clothes in the back of the closet. They looked good at one point, but now they (a) don't fit, (b) have a stain, (c) aren't in style anymore, but we can't bring ourselves to get rid of them so they linger in the dingy corners. People at Transition Mar Vista (TMV) are turning their old clothes into something new.
This past weekend, Transition Mar Vista (part of the Transition action in the greater Los Angeles area) held a "Repurposing old clothing" workshop. Everyone was invited to bring a few articles of old clothing -- tshirts, dresses, skirts, etc. -- as well as sewing notions, buttons, ribbons, and trims.
The workshop was lead by Gaia Waters, the high-school-aged granddaughter of one of the TMV steering group members. Gaia, an aspiring fashion designer, was visiting from England and TMV certainly made the most of her presence. Gaia had plenty of help from TMV members who have an eye for design and color.
Workshop participants, young and old, chose a garment from the share pile. Then they proceeded to decorate, alter, or radically remake it into something new. One girl stitched multicolored beads and buttons down the front of the pink sweater she'd brought. A woman's flowered tshirt became a pencil skirt for another young girl. Another woman split her silk dress into a flowing skirt with a separate bolero jacket.
A glistening pastel patchwork skirt became a bookbag, and bold-patterned yardage became a new pillowcase. A pretty piece of lace covered a grease stain on favorite yoga pants. A man's kaftan awaited new buttons. One person's scraps quickly became another person's trims; a woman cropped the sleeve off her tshirt and braided a contrasting knit strap for a stunning asymetrical new look.
For my own part, I'd brought along a sweater which was a favorite color but the turtle-style neckline had always bugged me. Another participant suggested cutting the collar off, but I wasn't bold enough. So she took up the shears and did the deed. She then suggested a silk ribbon to edge the raw cut, and I now have a new look to get more use out of a comfortable garment.
The cooperative design effort was a great part of the fun. One participant would lay out a garment, and several others would hover around offering suggestions and fetching potential add-ons. When we look at our own old garment our imagination can be limited, but design with a circle of newfound friends brings a fresh new view.
So often sewing becomes a solitary experience, but this past weekend five machines whirred and hummed as we sewed together. Frustration over a tangled bobbin thread was no problem, because there was someone else to lend a hand.
You don't really need much in the way of materials for an event like this; simply invite everyone to bring what they already have and you'll find out it is more than enough. (The invitation for TMV's event can be viewed here)
TMV prepared well by calling a few selected participants and reminding them to bring their sewing machines and sewing tools. One book was passed around the room and received lots of attention: 99 Ways to Cut, Sew, Trim, and Tie Your T-Shirt into Something Special by Faith Blakeney, Justina Blakeney, Anka Livakovic, and Ellen Schultz. The book isn't necessary, but it was the source for ideas like the above-mentioned braided strap on the asymetrical tshirt. Also, it does help to invite some sewing veterans to be on on hand to help out with challenges.

A race deep into wilderness using for the most the international path "Grande Randonnée du Tour du Mont-Blanc (GR TMB)".
Mountain race, with numerous passages in high altitude (>2500m), in difficult weather conditions (night, wind, cold, rain or snow), that needs a very good training, adapted equipment and a real capacity of personal autonomy.
The CCC® has climbed from being the "little sister of the UTMB®" to becoming a unique race that is one of the most prestigious of the world. The start line at the centre of Courmayeur is tinged with an atmosphere that only Italians can provide, a rare emotional moment to the music of Vangelis.
The first kilometres, on an original route, different from the UTMB®, quickly lead to 2500m of altitude to one of the most exceptional panoramas one can imagine, facing the Mont-Blanc and the Grandes Jorasses. The passage of the Grand col Ferret (2537m) marks the entrance of the race in Switzerland, where the competitors will be warmly welcomed by the volunteers of La Fouly, Champex and Trient. Already in France but so close to Switzerland, anyone can enjoy the authenticity of Vallorcine, before discovering after an incredible ascension the Vallons des Chezerys, a true corner of paradise with a magnificent view on the Mont-Blanc chain. It is then time to finally reach the arrival arch in the heart of Chamonix.
Refreshment posts : The principle of the race is semi-self sufficiency. Ten posts will be supplied with drinks and/or food to be taken on site.
Major difficulties: Ascension of the Tête de la Tronche (2584m) then Grand col Ferret (2537m) during the first third of the race. The second part leads to 3 heavy ascensions : Bovine, Tseppes and La Tête au vents. The long downhill parts that follow every ascension are as difficult for joints and muscles.
This race is open to 1900 competitors maximum.
The start will take place at the centre of Courmayeur, on the Brocherel Place, Friday, August 30th, 2019 at 9,00 AM.
The race will be open for 26:30 maximum, and the hour barriers will be calculated accordingly.
The timing is calculated to avoid any crossing between CCC® and l'UTMB® .

Abbey Road
Anthology 3
A song about the 'Apple scruffs' that held vigil outside the group's headquarters, Abbey Road Studios and the members' homes, She Came In Through The Bathroom Window was written by Paul McCartney and first released as part of the long medley on Abbey Road.
The song is believed to have been based on an incident involving some fans who took a ladder from McCartney's garden, climbed into his house in Cavendish Avenue, London, and stole a precious picture, possibly of his father.
We found a ladder in his garden and stuck it up at the bathroom window which he'd left slightly open. I was the one who climbed up and got in.
A Hard Day's Write, Steve Turner
There were really two groups of Apple Scruffs – those who would break in and those who would just wait outside with cameras and autograph books. I used to take Paul's dog for a walk and got to know him quite well...
I knew there was one picture he particularly wanted back – a colour-tinted picture of him in a Thirties frame. I knew who had taken this and got it back for him.
A Hard Day's Write, Steve Turner
McCartney's neighbours attempted to contact him when they realised the break-ins were taking place, inspiring the lines "Sunday's on the phone to Monday, Tuesday's on the phone to me."
Another version of the tale was revealed by the Moody Blues. Their former keyboard player Mike Pinder claimed that a groupie climbed through an open bathroom window and spent the night with band member Ray Thomas. Pinder and Thomas are said to have told McCartney about the incident the next day, who began strumming on a guitar and improvised the opening line.
In 1980 John Lennon said that the song was written while he and McCartney were in New York in 1968.
That's Paul's song. He wrote that when we were in New York announcing Apple, and we first met Linda. Maybe she's the one that came in the window. I don't know; somebody came in the window.
All We Are Saying, David Sheff
Lennon and McCartney were in New York in May 1968 to announce the formation of Apple Corps. In October that year, when the White Album had been completed, McCartney flew to the city once again to see Linda Eastman.
And the end of his two-week stay, McCartney was in a taxi heading to JFK airport. At the time he needed a final verse for She Came In Through The Bathroom Window, and noticed the driver's police identification panel on the dashboard. The ID had a photograph of the driver, along with the name Eugene Quits, above the words 'New York Police Dept.'
So I got 'So I quit the police department', which are part of the lyrics to that. This was the great thing about the randomness of it all. If I hadn't been in this guy's cab, or if it had been someone else driving, the song would have been different. Also I had a guitar there so I could solidify it into something straight away.
Many Years From Now, Barry Miles
The end of She Came In Through The Bathroom Window brings a pause in the Abbey Road medley. The song concludes a song cycle that begins with Sun King, and continues with Mean Mr Mustard and Polythene Pam.
A slower version, meanwhile, can be found on Anthology 3. This was recorded on 22 January 1969 during the Get Back sessions at Apple Studios.
In the studio
Polythene Pam and She Came In Through The Bathroom Window were recorded as one on 25 July 1969. They taped 39 takes of the songs' basic track, which featured McCartney on bass, Lennon on 12-string acoustic rhythm guitar, Harrison on lead guitar and Starr and drums. Lennon and McCartney also sang guide vocals for the songs where needed.
During the same session they added lead vocals and re-recorded the drums and bass parts.
On 28 July they added a range of overdubs to the two songs, including more lead vocals, acoustic and electric guitars, tambourine and other percussion, electric and acoustic piano. Recording was concluded on 30 July with the addition of percussion and guitar overdubs.

Decisions, Decisions
I have a hard time making decisions.
Well, that's only partially true. I actually make decisions very quickly–sometimes instantaneously when faced with a problem to solve or a strategy question. Given an either/or decision to make, give me 30 seconds max. I make decisions about people very quickly too. Your friend-potential is judged within a few minutes. You go on a date with me and within about 15 minutes I know where things are going (or not going).
See…the problem is that even though I pretty much know my path of action from the first moment (which you can argue the merits of if you want to), I then start to doubt myself. I run through the million permutations that a decision could take, then the million permutations of the other decisions I already rejected. I circle fully back to where I started and reaffirm my original decision. Then I start to worry about whether I missed something, and I do it all over again. Sometimes I talk things through with colleagues or friends, and sometimes I just let my own brain run rampant all hours of the night…sometimes about relatively inconsequential decisions. Impending big decisions mean weeks of poor sleep and anxious waking hours.
I think back to some of the decisions that I put off–at work and at home–and I am frustrated by how much mental energy I have expended seemingly unnecessarily. I ultimately follow my original impulse almost always (we're talking 99% of the time), and yet I spend countless hours and Xanax prescriptions worrying that my impulse is wrong.
Part of me wonders if this is normal for people in general. Another part of me wonders if this is merely a symptom of my Type A personality, my anxiety-prone mind, or if it's a symptom of people in positions of leadership who still give a damn.
The reason for that last one is that I don't remember having this kind of waffling on decisions–at work or at home–until I first became a manager several years ago. Maybe I only waffle now because what I do impacts more people (in theory)? Or a fear that a wrong decision will have negative consequences for my career or my colleagues? Or perhaps experience in the managerial seat has taught me that you'd darn well better run through all the scenarios before jumping? Or perhaps the simple experience of time and age has taught me to be more cautious or prudent? Is this simply a sign of a responsible person? Of someone who still cares about the effects of her decisions?
What's disturbing is that it has definitely bled from my professional life into my personal life. Those personal decisions are just as hard for me to make as the professional ones now. That's not good.
I have no idea where it comes from…all I have are guesses. I know that the indecision I feel is real. But I still muscle through and make the decisions, including the really big ones, the really hard ones, and the ones that I know will have negative consequences for someone, including me. Ultimately I take the plunge, but I ruminate far too long.
After reflecting on this issue over the last week or so and writing this post, I am going to make a concerted effort to trust my intuition more. My judgement is pretty good both personally and professionally. Sure, sometimes I'm wrong. We all are. But my instinct is usually right, despite my self-doubt. I need to stop self-doubting and learn some self-confidence. I encourage you to do the same.

A Subway sandwich artist in Florida was fired for threatening a customer who wanted ketchup on his Philly cheesesteak, according to WFTV.
When Luis Martinez ordered the condiment, Lawrence Ordone told local station WFTV that he was perplexed.
"He wants ketchup on the Philly cheese steak and I have never put — we don't even have ketchup at Subway — I've never put ketchup on anybody's sandwich," said Ordone.
After that, Martinez allegedly "mouthed off" to Ordone and a confrontation ensued. According to Martinez, Ordone began to yell at him, blocked the door, and threatened to kill him.
By the time Martinez had called 911, Ordone had allegedly already left. He told the station he lost his job a short time later. According to the station, he could potentially face charges.
Ordone had some advice for the customer who wanted ketchup.
"There's ketchup three aisles down. You can go buy your own ketchup, and I promise to God, you can put as much as you want on it and nobody's going to say nothing," said Ordone.
So, what's the verdict on ketchupped cheesesteaks? We asked Business Insider's Philly natives for their opinions.
Strategy reporter Max Nisen said that it's common to put ketchup on a Philly cheesesteak.
"I'm totally in favor of it and it happens all the time," he said. "I don't see why anyone would object to that."
"It's not the traditional way to eat it," explained sports writer Tony Manfred. "But there's really no 'authentic' cheesesteak anyway. Some people get peppers and onions, some get cheese whiz. So I'd say it's not too big a deal."

Chiropractic is not just about backs or even joints, its about your nervous system. When your nerves and nervous system is working well, is balanced and robust it enables us to reach our full potential, whatever the age.
The practice will be a family based one that wants to promote good health through a balanced nervous system. i want parents to be taking their kids to the chiro to get pre-season check ups for their sports and who understand that when the body is in good alignment and their nervous system is robust, many injuries can be avoided. i want the practice to be about preventative health care not only acute injury management.

Scottish gay rights charity, Equality Network has responded to a sermon given yesterday by the Catholic Archbishop of Glasgow, Mario Conti.
In the sermon he claimed that "tolerance" is turning into "tyranny" on the subject of gay marriage, accusing the political mainstream of "marginalizing" religious opinion.
The Archbishop claimed yesterday that the proposed introduction of gay marriage in Scotland is an attempt to "redefine marriage" according to "mores of the day" and is "putting the claim of 'equality and diversity' on a higher level than faith and reason".
Archbishop Conti stated that creating equality between homosexual and heterosexual marriages is "contrary to the virtue of chastity" and as going against "natural law".
The Catholic cleric went on to claim that society will "descend further into ethical confusion and moral disintegration" if the government continues to legislate on such issues.
Tim Hopkins, Director of the Equality Network, argued that legal equality should not be denied to gay people. "Archbishop Conti says the law is there to defend the rights of citizens, but he wants to deny those rights to people because they are gay. He says the law cannot redefine people and their rights, and yet the law has done that over and over."
Referring to previous attempts by the law to discriminate against groups in society, Tim Hopkins stated, "In the past century the legal position of women has undergone a revolution, from non-persons without a vote, to legal equality. In the past 200 years, the legal position of Catholics in this country has similarly been redefined. It's time that legal equality extended to LGBT people too."
The gay rights campaigning group Stonewall has also weighed in on the controversy, stating that the Archbishop's comments were disrespectful and intolerant. In a statement issued to ENN today, Colin Macfarlane, Director of Stonewall Scotland said that Archbishop Conti's use of terms like "ethical confusion" were "disappointing and wholly untrue" and that "the majority of Scots support the right of same sex couples to express their committed relationships through marriage. When there 1.2 billion people in the world living on less than a dollar a day, it's a shame that the churches' priorities are focused on preventing a few thousand people doing just that."
These comments come after Cardinal Keith O'Brian, Scotland's most senior Catholic wrote in The Telegraph earlier in the month comparing legalizing gay marriage to slavery.
Previously Archbishop Conti has gone on record as supporting the controversial Section 28 of the Local Government Act that banned the "promotion of homosexuality" by local authorities. He has also voiced opposition against Civil Partnerships and IVF treatment and is a member of the Catholic Bishops' Joint Committee for Bio-Ethics.
The Equality Network is a registered charity promoting LGBT rights and has been operating in Scotland since 1997.

Republicans considering running for president over the past six years have been delivering red meat to the base at conservative confabs.
But Jeb Bush Friday did not fit the mold.
The former Florida governor, mulling a 2016 bid, followed the retiring firebrand Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) at the Faith and Freedom Coalition. But while Bachmann and the other speakers here, including Congressman Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) -- the 2012 vice-presidential nominee -- treaded familiar turf by railing against government and President Barack Obama, Bush didn't go there.
"I won't be pointing out the failures of the Obama administration," Bush said to silence here. "They're clear for those that want to see them."
Instead, Bush laid out a detailed, four-point plan to grow the economy that included American energy, immigration reform, education, and family.
"I'd rather talk about how conservatives can govern again," Bush said, "to begin to solve our pressing problems."
A comment Bush made about immigrants' higher rates of "fertility" drew much of the attention and distracted the cognoscenti in Washington.
"Immigrants create far more businesses than native-born Americans," Bush said. "Immigrants are more fertile, and they love families, and they have more intact families, and they bring a younger population. Immigrants create an engine of economic prosperity."
Bush was awkwardly trying to point out that heavily Catholic, recent Hispanic immigrants have more children, in the way that Italian and Irish immigrants once did. Of course, that's changing among younger Hispanics, as it did for the Italians and Irish. as the generations grew up in America and fully assimilated.
But that was a small moment in what was a speech that stood out for its tone and seriousness. It was a stark contrast to what has been seen at many of these conferences, as a host of Republicans have jockeyed for the limelight and the Republican nominations for 2008 and 2012.
In addition to the usual Republican points of entitlement reform, regulatory reform, and tax-code reform, Bush called for four points he said could increase growth in the U.S. to 3.5 to 4 percent per year over the next decade:
1.Encourage North American energy production, notably natural gas, approving the Keystone XL pipeline, rational fracking regulations, opening lands up for drilling, helping Mexico modernize its oil sector.
2.Approve comprehensive-immigration reform because immigrants are entrepreneurial (and "are more fertile," and those more children can help fix the imbalance in entitlement support). This would include a legal pathway that include fines and penalties, H1 visas, and a guest-worker program.
3.Reform education by raising standards, grading schools based on student achievement, like in Florida, eliminate social promotion in third grade, focus on early literacy, expand school choice/vouchers.
4.Family: "No amount of growth nor transformed education system will be sustainable if strong family faith isn't the backbone of any American renewal," Bush said. But he didn't toe the conservative line on "traditional" families. "We have to be supportive of the single mom" and the "grandmother," as well as other non-traditional families, Bush said (though he derided the Democrats' attempts to fix these issues through policy.)
Bush's prescription certainly will not win over everyone, and plenty will disagree that his plan will improve the economy in the way that he touts. But it was clearly a different tone and a civil speech on serious issues.
Ironically, in addition to his famous last name, that moderate tone (and moderate policy on immigration) may be one of Bush's biggest hurdle to a Republican nomination.
The crowd here greeted him politely and seemed impressed by his thoughtfulness. But following him was Ryan.
"The left likes to think we're the fringe," Ryan said. "Guess what, you, me, us, we're the mainstream."
When Ryan was finished, he got a standing ovation.

Trick or Treat?! It's the phrase that is about to be on every child's lips in a couple of weeks. Halloween is the time for dress up, self expression, scary stories, and of course delightful candy! Is there a way to indulge in this American holiday without going against your ethics? Yes there are ways to have a truly ethical Halloween! And we at AP have put together a sweet little guide to help you make sure your Halloween meets all socially conscious standards. Stay safe and Happy Halloween!! Mwahahaha
1) Costumes: Costumes sold on the mainstream market are often made of harsh materials such as cheap plastics and harmful dyes. Unfortunately, people often buy these costumes only to throw them out after one use. This is a very wasteful practice. The most Green way to make a costume is by making one! Going through yours and your friend's closets is the best way to through together a costume (it saves you money too)! But if you can't find exactly what you need for your outfit, try the local thrift stores. Thrift stores are teeming with great pieces perfect for nearly any costume. If thrifting just isn't your thing there are a number of organic costumes for both adults and children. Please remember if you do purchase a costume from any source be sure and donate it once you are finished.
2) Vegan Treats: It is possible to hold to your Green and Vegan roots when handing out trick or treat candy. When you are choosing what candy you would like to hand out this year, keep in mind which candies are vegan. PETA has a nice list of mainstream candy which is vegan by default. Or if you would like to support vegan business, Go Max Go, based in Portland OR makes delicious all vegan candy bars styled much like your old favorites such as Almond Joy and 3 Musketeers. They are a new company but you can already find them in many health food stores. Pangea, the online vegan store also offers Halloween style goodies such as ghost marshmallows, Halloween themed cookies, and chocolate bites. All great ideas to hand out! Also, if you are feeling healthy you can always hand out packaged dried fruit or nuts. If you are throwing a get together, here are some terrific Halloween themed vegan recipes.
3) Fair Trade Chocolate: Fair Trade Chocolate is easy to come by these days and make great Halloween giveaways. In fact, October is Fair Trade Month, so what better way to end the month then to hand out Fair Trade Chocolates? Global Exchange has put together a great list of Fair Trade chocolate companies such as Equal Exchange and Divine Chocolate. You can also find cute Halloween themed organic and Fair Trade chocolates. Global Exchange is also promoting Reverse Trick or Treating, where they have asked fair traders to hand out Fair Trade chocolate with information to houses they might be trick or treating at. Print out these informational cards and attach them to your Fair Trade chocolates! One quick tip, if you are Trick or Treating this year be sure to use a re-usable bag rather than plastics (a pillow case always does the job)!
4) Decorations: Halloween is an exciting time and most people celebrate by decorating their homes and businesses, whether it is for parties or just to be festive! Unfortunately, much like costumes many Halloween decorations are made of cheap plastic and are thrown out after one use. Once again a great place to find decorations is at a thrift store, plus they will save you money! You can also choose to decorate with natural decorations such as corn husks, straw, and pumpkins. Another great activity is to create your own crafts using recycled materials such as the soda bottle pumpkin or the egg crate bat. Not only will this be Earth friendly but kid friendly as well! Also, when you are ready to choose that pumpkin to carve, be sure to go to a local and organic local pumpkin patch instead of purchasing an imported pumpkin from a main grocery store. A fun little activity would include a Fair Trade, Organic, Green, or Vegan themed Jack-O-Latern. Why not spread the word through pumpkins?!
5) Aftermath: On November 1st with the streets quiet, the clean up begins! Many of the costumes and decor for Halloween is tossed in the trash. Be sure to save your items to use again the following year or donate them to your local thrift store. Old Jack-o-lanterns, straw used for decor, and fallen leaves will letter the streets in early November. Be sure to either compost these items in your own composting or through your city if they provide it. If you are throwing a Halloween shindig, be sure you recycle all bottles and cans used.

Neighbors describe different sides of Fla. gunman
HIALEAH, Fla. (AP) -- The gunman who went on a shooting rampage at a South Florida apartment complex was described as a quiet man who took his mother to doctor appointments, yet also someone who was known for getting into fights and yelling at his mom.
The conflicting portrayals of Pedro Vargas, 42, emerged as police tried to piece together why he set ablaze the apartment he lived in with his mother and then killed six people before police fatally shot him.
As the eight-hour standoff unfolded, horrified residents hunkered down in their homes, at times so close to the action that they could feel the gunfire or hear negotiations between the gunman and police, authorities and witnesses said Saturday.
As the rampaged winded down, Vargas held two people hostage at gunpoint for up to three hours in their apartment until a SWAT team entered and killed him, police said. The hostages were not hurt.
"Nobody seems to know why he acted the way he acted," said Lt. Carl Zogby, a spokesman with the Hialeah Police Department.
Detectives were investigating whether Vargas had any ongoing disputes with the building manager, as some residents believed. His mother was not home at the time of the shootings.
"He was a good son," said Ester Lazcano, who lived on the same floor as Vargas and his mother. "He'd take her in the morning to run errands" and to doctor appointments.
Lazcano said she was in the shower when she heard the first shots, and then there were at least a dozen more. "I felt the shots," she said.
Miriam Valdes, 70, was in a friend's apartment two doors down. She said she heard officers trying to convince Vargas to surrender.
She said the gunman first asked for his girlfriend and then his mother but refused to cooperate.
Valdes said Vargas was also known as a difficult person who sometimes got into fights and yelled at his mother.
"He was a very abusive person," she said. "He didn't have any friends there."
Police were called to the aging, five-story apartment building in Hialeah, a working class suburb a few miles northwest of downtown Miami, on Friday at 6:30 p.m. The first calls reported a fire, but when firefighters arrived, they heard shots and notified police, Zogby said.
Vargas, who has no known criminal record, set a combustible liquid on fire in his fourth-floor apartment. Building manager Italo Pisciotti, 79, and his wife, Camira Pisciotti, 69, saw smoke and ran to the unit, Zogby said. When they arrived, Vargas opened the door and fired, killing both.
Vargas then went back into his burning apartment and fired 10 to 20 shots from a 9mm pistol into the street. One of the bullets struck 33-year-old Carlos Javier Gavilanes, who was parking his car after returning home from work. Zogby said his body was found next to his vehicle.
The gunman then kicked his way into a third-floor apartment, where he shot to death Patricio Simono, 54; his wife Merly Niebles, 51; and their 17-year-old daughter. Family members said Simono worked at a car wash and Niebles cleaned hotel rooms. Their daughter wanted to be a nurse.
Agustin Hernandez, Niebles' brother-in-law, loaded several old pictures and other items from his relative's apartment in a grocery cart and into his car. One showed his teenage niece smiling in a red graduation gown. Another pictured his sister-in-law posing in a white dress and pearls.
A binder also from the apartment had pop artist Justin Beiber's name on the spine, presumably belonging to the teenage girl, who family members identified as Priscilla Perez.
Marcela Chavarri, director of the American Christian School, said the Perez was about to enter her senior year.
"She was a lovely girl," Chavarri said through tears. "She was always happy and helping her classmates."
All six people were killed in a short time span, Zogby said, and it's possible they were all dead by the time police arrived.
Officers and Vargas then engaged in an hours-long shootout and chase, with police following the gunman from one floor to the next.
"He kept running from us as he fired at us and we fired at him," Zogby said.
Several hours into the ordeal, Vargas forced his way into a fifth-story unit and held two people captive. Sgt. Eddie Rodriguez said negotiators and a SWAT team tried talking with him from the other side of the door.
Rodriguez said the talks eventually "just fell apart." Officers stormed the building, fatally shooting the gunman in an exchange of gunfire. Zogby said Vargas still had several rounds of ammunition when he was killed.
"He was ready to fight," Zogby said.

They will if they keep their ODI status after the World Cup. I see no reason why Scotland, Ireland and Holland can't play against Test Nations in ODI, they have earned the right. Also how are going to be fast tracked if they only play each other.

FAYETTEVILLE — After one of the most disappointing seasons for Southeastern Conference basketball teams, league commissioner Mike Slive decided to hire a scheduling consultant for the conference.
The SEC had just four teams make the NCAA Tournament and only one team, Florida, made it past the round of 32. Meanwhile seven conferences had more teams in the tournament than the SEC.
Kentucky was perhaps the most disappointing team during the 2012-2013 season. As defending national champions, the Wildcats failed to make the NCAA Tournament and lost to Robert Morris in the first round of the NIT. Kentucky coach John Calipari said he believes Slive had the best intentions for the league in mind when he decided to hire Greg Shaheen as the SEC scheduling consultant.
"I think what the league wants to do is be a resource to help guys that are struggling with their scheduling, to be a sounding board more than, 'No, you shouldn't schedule that team,'" Calipari said. "I think what the league wants to do is, if you are confused, is this a good game or not, call us. Call us, and we'll tell you. If you are in a jam and you have to schedule X, Y, Z, explain it to us. Why are you scheduling this team and not that team? Why would you not go for a two-for-one versus what you're doing? Maybe you should play a Division II school versus playing that team?
"And I think it's good in that they're being a resource for us. I doubt seriously that this league, knowing the commish like I do, would ever step up and say, 'Nope, you're not scheduling those teams. I just don't see him being that way. But he's saying to us, 'Use us. We have some expertise now. Ask us. We have guys that understand the RPI, and we'll help you walk through this.' I think it's more that than anything else."
In May, Shaheen said SEC schools had submitted their nonconference schedules for the upcoming season and he had already begun looking at tweaking some of them. Arkansas coach Mike Anderson, like Calipari, said it was probably a good thing for teams to have some assistance with scheduling.
"I think it's probably one of those checks and balances," Anderson said. "I think with what took place, I guess the last couple of years, with not getting as many teams in the NCAA Tournament that should be for the SEC and the type of league it is, I'm sure that it's a concern for the commissioner and for our coaches as well.
"So I think with having the conference wanting to have a chance to see what we're doing in terms of our schedule is a good thing. Making sure that everybody is scheduling as good a schedule as you can, and therefore the nonconference does not hurt. With that being said, we're real close to getting it done. I think here, hopefully, in the next week or two, we'll have a chance to solidify our non-con schedule."
Although Arkansas' nonconference schedule is not yet finalized, it will definitely include a trip to the Maui Invitational during Thanksgiving weekend. Other participants in the field include Baylor, California, Dayton, Gonzaga, Minnesota, Syracuse and host school Chaminade.
Last season, the Razorbacks struggled in a five-game stretch of nonconference play that included a trip to Las Vegas with games against Arizona State and Wisconsin, a pair of home games against Syracuse and Oklahoma and a road game against Michigan.
Anderson said a factor other than the toughness of the schedule is what played into the team's fate at the end of last season and could do the same again this year.
"You look at our schedule last year, the years I've been here, we play people," Anderson said. "I think it was just unfortunate last year we didn't beat some of those people. We had a five-game stretch that was probably as good as anybody in the country.
"That said, that alone is a tremendous nonconference schedule. Had we won some of those games, I think our postseason would be a lot different. And this year is not going to be any different. We're playing the Maui Tournament. Gonzaga's in it, Baylor, Syracuse. Again, we will be playing people. The key now is hopefully we can beat some people."

Emirates Team New Zealand will take delivery of its first AC72 catamaran by the middle of next month.
The mammoth cat will then be assembled – it will arrive at the base as components - and undergo a rigorous testing regime before an official launch planned for late July.
The team started work on design and engineering in October 2010. Building started on November 9 last year. In July the sailing team – which has been heavily involved in the design process – will began the process of evaluating the yacht's performance and learning how to sail it fast and safely.
The AC72 is a massive leap for designers, boatbuilders and sailing team. More than 50,000 design hours have gone into the project as designers and engineers pushed the boundaries in design and technology. They have designed more than 500 parts to be manufactured locally in aluminium, titanium and composites. Seven Auckland machine shops have engineered the metal components. Only deck gear and winches could be bought off the shelf.
Nothing like it has been built previously in New Zealand. Yacht composite components have been built at Cookson Boats at Glenfield, Southern Spars at Avondale, and three other boatbuilding companies. About 40,000 hours have gone into the build.
Components for the wingsail have been built at both Southern Spars and Cooksons. Wing assembly has been underway at the Emirates Team New Zealand Viaduct Harbour base for thepast two months. That's a further 25,000 hours.
Emirates Team New Zealand managing director Grant Dalton said the race yacht will be delivered on budget and on time. "That's remarkable considering the complexity of the design and build process and speaks volumes for the capability of the New Zealand marine industry."
Major parts of the Italian Luna Rossa AC72 are also being built in New Zealand.
The Emirates Team New Zealand base is being prepared for the new arrival. As big as the base building is, it's too small to house the cat. A massive structure – built from 12 40ft shipping containers with a tent roof – has been assembled on the base forecourt to house the 40m wings.
The original Team New Zealand building on Halsey street from which team defended the America's Cup in 2000 and mounted the 2003 defence has been demolished to make way for a second structure of shipping containers and tent structure to house the platform.
The AC72's size and speed potential has forced a re-think of the chase boat fleet. A catamaran chase boat capable of 50knots and with enough power to right the catamaran should it capsize is being built at Salthouse Boatbuilders.
It will join the fleet of monohull Protectors that have been a familiar psrt of Emirates Team New Zealand for many years.
Dalton said: "A lot of people have worked long hours for more than 18 months to get to thispoint. A lot more work has to be done as we evaluate performance and learn about the AC72 and prepare to start building the second boat.
For the time being, the AC72 will stay under wraps. "Just like us, the other teams are about the design thinking of their second boat so security is critical over the next couple of months.
"You can bet that as soon as boat hits the water in July we will be in the spotlight – from the media and other teams."
Even with the addition of the AC72 to the fleet, the team will continue with the AC45 regatta programme (three more regattas will be held this year) and the development and training programme with the twin SL33s will continue.

Message from Rabbi Zari Weiss
"Shalom! I'm delighted that you've found your way to our website. Let me tell you a little bit about myself, and why I love our synagogue community. I have been blessed to be the rabbi and spiritual leader of Kol HaNeshamah since July 2010.
Although I served two congregations previously, I took a break from congregational life and explored different ways of being a rabbi. I studied, served, and taught something called Spiritual Direction or Spiritual Companioning, which is about being a companion to another person on their spiritual journey, which is the journey of life! I created a non-profit organization, the purpose of which was to do organizing around issues of justice here in the Seattle Jewish community. And I served part-time and on an interim basis at a number of congregations in the area.
I always knew that I wanted to return to congregational life, but was waiting until I found the right place, as I have at last, here at Kol HaNeshamah. It is a great community, made up of lovely, thoughtful, insightful and creative people who are committed to cultivating meaningful Jewish lives and exploring and expanding what it means to be Jewish, and a Jewish community, in the 21st Century.
We welcome you to come and celebrate Shabbat with us, or attend a class or workshop, or share a Shabbat dinner in one of our member's homes. We hope that you might find that KHN is your spiritual and religious home as well, and will become a part of us. If you'd like to talk with me further, please don't hesitate to contact me by phone at (206) 935-2366 or by email.

Minnesota Grocer Joe Lueken Turning His Stores Over To Employees
Joe Lueken may go down as one of the nation's best bosses -- or at least one of the most generous. That's because the Minnesota grocer isn't merely giving employees a Christmas bonus this year, he's giving them the business, sort of.
After 46 years, the 70-year-old owner of Lueken's Village Foods in Bemidji, Minn., wants to travel the world with his wife, Janice, and spend more time with his four sons, none of whom lives nearby. So on Jan. 1, Lueken will begin the gradual process of turning over operation of his two supermarkets -- the other is in Wahpeton, N.D. -- to his 400 employees through an employee stock ownership program, or ESOP.
"My employees are largely responsible for any success I've had, and they deserve to get some of the benefits of that," Lueken told the StarTribune of Minneapolis earlier this month. "You can't always take. You also have to give back."
Lueken has had offers from larger, independent chains and likely would've made more money selling the business to one of them, he said. However, the grocer thinks that giving employees the opportunity to run the business for themselves will be better not just for the workers but for the business, and for Bemidji, a city of 13,000 located about 200 miles northwest of Minneapolis.

Employees of the business are naturally pleased with Lueken's decision. "He's rockin' awesome," said front-end manager Maria Svare, who's worked for Lueken since 2009.
Lueken's action shows that he puts people first, Svare said, adding that employees will be more engaged in their work since they'll now be responsible for running a profitable enterprise. "It gives you something to call your own and gives you a more comfortable retirement to look forward to," she said.
As The Bemidji Pioneer reports, Lueken got his start in the food business at age 7, when he went to work at his father's bakery for 26 cents a week. In 1966, he became manager at the first Lueken's grocery store, which his brother opened in downtown Bemidji. Lueken eventually bought out his brother and opened a larger store on the north side. The Wahpeton store opened in 2000.
Though setting up the ESOP for his workers may seem an extraordinary gesture, reports suggest that it fits with the grocer's generosity toward local charities. In the 1990s, his donation to the Bemidji State University Foundation aided needy students by providing full scholarships.
An early recipient of that largess, Jeremy Fogelson, went on to become a neurosurgeon, and repaid Lueken in 2007 by assisting in an operation that Lueken underwent to relieve tremors caused by Parkinson's disease. The operation at the Mayo Clinic, which involved implanting electrodes in Lueken's brain, reduced the severity of his tremors.
More:'Undercover Boss': MasTec CEO Gets Choked Up Recalling Famous Dad
Lueken's decision to sell the business to his employees was the result of discussions that the grocer had with his four sons, all of whom live either on the East or West coasts and aren't interested in the business.
The ESOP will help keep profits from the business in the community, through salaries and causes important to workers, rather than some absentee corporation, said one of the sons, Jeff Lueken, an information-technology expert who lives in California.
The StarTribune reports that the program will pay off the Lueken family in three to five years and leave employees with shares based on length of service and salary, at no cost to them. If the company keeps growing, the shares' value will rise, too.
"The whole move revolves around people, not things or money," Jeff Lueken told the newspaper. "It's about allowing people to grow with the business and send their kids to college and have a great retirement, and even to express themselves at work."

One source has an interesting note: "This surname is derived from the name of an ancestor. 'the son of Harry,' this being the English attempt at pronouncing the French Henri. Thus Harry is not a nickname, of Henry, but the English representative form. Hence our endless Harrisons, not Henrysons." [1]CITATION[CLOSE]

Carmelo Anthony Looking Good In New Marketing Deal With Johnson Products
April 6, 2011: Carmelo Anthony is making his mark on the court with the New York Knicks. Now, he is seeking to leave his mark in national marketing.
Anthony has signed a multi-year deal to become the national spokesman for Johnson Products Co.'s line of grooming products targeting African American men. The deal is Anthony's second since joining the Knicks in February following a pact he signed in March with Sprint's Boost Mobile.
Financial terms were not disclosed.
Anthony will be asking men to 'Step Up Their Game' in advertising and promotional campaigns, cause-marketing, community outreach programs and personal appearances for JPC and Ultra Sheen Men, which the company launched this past fall. Anthony will also be involved in the development of "innovative new grooming products for JPC," according to the company.
JPC said that its partnership with Anthony is the first of its kind for its new management team. On March 31, 2009, JPC was acquired from Procter & Gamble with the combined investments of RC Fontis, St. Cloud Capital and Plus Factor, LLC, an African American management team. Over its 55-year history, Dallas-based Johnson Products Co. has created 53 hair care products under the Ultra Sheen and Gentle Treatment brands.
According to JPC, "no one better exudes the trendsetting man than Carmelo Anthony."
"Our team sees a lot of opportunity and growth in the men's sector, which doesn't typically get a lot of attention. Carmelo Anthony will bring excitement to our new brand."
"We are very excited to leverage the strong position in the ethnic hair care space that Johnson Products has to launch our new men's line," Eric Brown, JPC CEO, said in a statement. "Our team sees a lot of opportunity and growth in the men's sector which doesn't typically get a lot of attention. Adding Carmelo Anthony to the Johnson Products Family as well as having him represent the Ultra Sheen Men brand to the community will certainly bring excitement to our new brand."
Anthony also has a line of signature shoes with Nike's Jordan Brand.
"I am very excited about joining the team at Johnson Products Company," Anthony said in a statement. "I have fond memories of Ultra Sheen products from my childhood days and they have such a long-standing and rich reputation that it was very easy for me to agree to be a part of this new effort. Being a part of the Ultra Sheen Men launch and influencing young men to 'Step Up Their Game' in every aspect of their lives is truly what I am all about."
