Entré Computer Services
Entré is a small, seven person, computer services firm in the Midwest (Michigan). We provide technical consulting, repair and maintenance, networking and PC computer products. A key component to the future growth is providing IT Services on a flat rate or subscription basis.
Entré has been in this location for twenty five years. We have a new owner who is looking to bring a fresh face on the business and expand the reach. The field of IT services providers is crowded with small firms that are largely undifferentiated. This design contest should help us make an impact that does differentiate us.
We have two distinct groups of clients that we serve. We have a collection of local small businesses that have between 2-20 PC's in their operations and they depend on us for all their PC related services and purchases. We play the role of their IT Director and are an extension of their staff and a trusted advisor for technology.
Second, there are our mid-sized enterprise clients who have their own IT staff. For these customers we currently play a secondary role as hardware or software provider, or we might head up a specific short term IT project, such as a large PC, network, or server refresh. These customers typically have hundreds of PC's, 2-20 servers and scores of printers. We have a number of K12 school districts that we serve in this capacity and that is a specialty of ours. We are thinking there could be an opportunity to get into more public and private sector accounts of this size, using the printer maintenance as the "foot in the door".
We are looking for new business cards and coordinated stationary. These should use the existing logo as the basis for the design. This is a recognized name and logo for many of our mid-sized enterprise prospects, but this recognition isn't as strong in our small-business marketplace. We think of a business card as a "little billboard" or line card.
We are considering a folded business card with the Entré logo being the dominate element on the face. We would also consider having the front page being shorter, allowing the bottom of page two to be seen showing some phrase or words. We would also entertain die-cut or a size different than the standard 3.5 x 2. Feel free to edit the words. I don't want the card and stationary to be too busy. We look to your expertise for a clean and bold design.
Possible Bullet points for inside of business card:
• Fixed-cost IT Services
• Staffing Services
• Fleet management
• Assessment
• Design and Procure
• Manage and Monitor
• Support
• Dispose
Possible taglines:
"Get the IT support you need without the HR headaches"
"Well rounded nerds making your world a little better"
Your design should communicate the concepts of: solid, experienced, professional, top-tier, confident, different, bold but not flashy.

A high-profile Seattle clergyman delivered a jarring note as clergy across the country delivered best wishes to President Obama at the launch of his second term in the White House.
Mark Driscoll, founding pastor at the Mars Hill Church, tweeted: "Praying for our President, who today will place his hand on a Bible he does not believe to take an oath to a God he likely does not know."
It has been retweeted more than 2,700 times.
He repeated the comment on Facebook and got more than 7,800 "likes."
The tweet drew an immediate Facebook rejoinder from the Rev. Sandy Brown, senior minister at the Seattle First United Methodist Church, whose historic downtown sanctuary on 5th Avenue was recently leased by the Mars Hill congregation.
"Disgustingly un-Christian comment by Pastor Mark Driscoll. Shame!" wrote Brown.
Inaugurations have historically been a time for turning the other cheek. The Rev. Billy Graham backed Richard Nixon in the 1960 presidential race, but met and prayed with John F. Kennedy in Palm Beach, Fla., after the election.
The tradition was carried on by other clergy Sunday. "Congratulations President Obama: Prayers for blessing, wisdom, direction, health" wrote Russell Moore, dean of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary.
Rev. Louis Giglio, from the Passion City Church in Atlanta, was invited to give the benediction at Monday's inauguration, but withdrew after controversy arose over a long-ago sermon on gays and lesbians. Giglio, however, chose to turn the other cheek, tweeting:
"The word 'benediction' literally means 'good + to speak'. Seeing to do this today."

We are a small business inspired by our daughter. Our business is competing in the University of Baltimore Sales Lab competition in November. We are looking for a graphic representation of "the MonkeyBear" as the first graphic for our brand: BabyBaltimore to sell on baby clothing.
More than half of the student body works full time and/or has a family of their own. We are looking to attract students, parents, faculty, anyone with the desire to buy a gift for an infant/toddler. The first point of sale for our product will be in a kiosk in the atrium of the Merrick School of Business in Baltimore, Maryland USA.
We are looking for a graphic of our fictional character "the MonkeyBear." The MonkeyBear comes from a song we wrote for our daughter. It always makes her smile. In our fictional minds, the MonkeyBear does not have a gender. We would like the illustration of the MonkeyBear to include our brand name: BabyBaltimore. We envision BabyBaltimore to be a sort of "swirly, cursive" writing and wrap around the side of the graphic. The graphic is going to be screen printed onto a white/cream organic onesie. Please try to limit the colors used in the creation of this character as we are trying to keep costs down in its reproduction. We are thinking three colors at the most. Anything goes from there. We are very excited to see our daughter's song come to life. Thank you for sharing your creativity with us.
The style of the illustration should be less Hanna-Barbera and more Madeline, The Little Prince, Curious George-ish. We are looking for something slightly avant garde, somewhat classic, a little weird, and original. Please get far out if you feel it, we are from Baltimore.
Here are some selected lyrics from the song that contain imagery of the monkeybear:
I was climbing in a tree, and I seen something funky
It was looking right at me, was it a bear... or a monkey
I was walking in the jungle, let me tell you what I saw
It was big and furry, hanging in a tree, holding a banana in its paw..
(chorus):it was a monkey monkey bear claw
a monkey monkey bear claw

A battle is brewing over President Barack Obama's pick to be the next U.S. ambassador to Iraq, with Senate Republicans calling for the nomination to be withdrawn and the White House and former envoys to Iraq staunchly defending it.
Six GOP members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee sent a letter to President Barack Obama on Wednesday calling on him to withdraw Brett McGurk's nomination. They cited concerns about his abilities and judgment amid allegations that he acted inappropriately while working at the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad during President George W. Bush's second term.
In the letter, they said McGurk "lacks the leadership and management experience" needed for the job.
RECOMMENDED: Amid Iraq violence, journalists struggle about government control
The White House said it was standing by McGurk's nomination, which also was supported by the current ambassador to Iraq and his two predecessors.
"We believe that our nation will be greatly served by his experiences in Iraq and we look forward to the Senate's advice and consent on his appointment," White House press secretary Jay Carney told reporters.
In a letter to the Democratic chairman and the top Republican on the Foreign Relations panel, the current U.S. ambassador to Iraq, James Jeffrey, and former envoys Christopher Hill and Ryan Crocker defended McGurk and expressed their "enthusiastic support" for his nomination.
"We need an ambassador to Iraq," they said, according to a copy of the letter obtained by The Associated Press. "Brett is the right man for the job. We hope that you will support him to the fullest extent possible, and we urge the Senate's swift confirmation."
Earlier, Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., the chairman of the committee, hinted that the nomination could be reconsidered. He said he had spoken with Vice President Joe Biden about McGurk. "I think there are some very fair questions being asked and they need to be answered," Kerry said.
The six GOP senators said their "strong concerns" about McGurk's qualifications were amplified by emails detailing what they called his "unprofessional conduct."
The emails in question indicate that McGurk had an intimate relationship with a Baghdad-based female American journalist while he was married to another woman and working at the embassy there in 2008. McGurk has since married the reporter, Gina Chon, who resigned from The Wall Street Journal on Tuesday after acknowledging that she violated in-house rules by showing McGurk unpublished stories. McGurk has not responded to requests for comment.
"We believe the nominee lacks the leadership and management experience necessary to head America's largest embassy, in one of the world's most volatile regions," the senators' letter said. It is signed by Sens. Jim DeMint of South Carolina, James Risch of Idaho, John Barrasso of Wyoming, Mike Lee of Utah, Marco Rubio of Florida and James Inhofe of Oklahoma.
McGurk was first assigned to the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad as a National Security Council staffer during the Bush administration and then led negotiations with Iraqi officials over an agreement that would govern security cooperation after U.S. troops left the country. The senators complained that McGurk had also alienated some Iraqi politicians.
"Finally, the public release of information detailing unprofessional conduct demonstrates poor judgment and will affect the nominee's credibility in the country where he has been nominated to serve," the senators said. "Together, these issues cannot be overlooked. The U.S.-Iraq relationship is of the utmost importance to us, and we respectfully request that you withdraw this nominee and nominate someone with the qualifications necessary to ensure success in this position."
The administration had defended McGurk, saying he is "uniquely qualified" for the post and that he had undergone a rigorous vetting process before being nominated.
The Senate Foreign Relations Committee is scheduled to vote on McGurk's nomination on Tuesday. From there it would be sent to the full Senate for a vote. But the fact that as many as six senators oppose McGurk suggests that at least one will place a hold on the nomination, which could kill it. Unless the hold was lifted, Obama would either have to withdraw the nomination or bypass Senate confirmation with a recess appointment.
The emails were not raised during McGurk's confirmation hearing last week.
Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., who is not on the foreign relations committee, criticized McGurk for his failure to negotiate a residual U.S. force in Iraq after combat troops left in December 2011. "Iraq is unraveling as we speak," McCain said. "He (McGurk) was part of that and so that's what my concern is."
A former Supreme Court law clerk to the late Chief Justice William Rehnquist, McGurk worked as a lawyer for the Coalition Provisional Authority in Iraq after the 2003 U.S.-led invasion and joined Bush's National Security Council staff, where in 2007 and 2008, when the emails were written, he was the lead U.S. negotiator on security agreements with Iraq.
After a brief stint outside government with the Council on Foreign Relations, a think tank, he returned to Baghdad last year as a senior adviser to the current U.S. ambassador to Iraq, James Jeffrey.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. — A new drug demonstrated dramatic and rapid effects on prostate cancer that had spread to the bone, according to a study reported by University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center researchers.
About two-thirds of patients treated with cabozantinib had improvements on their bone scans, with 12 percent seeing complete resolution of uptake on bone scan. Bone scans assess the degree to which cancer is in the bone; improvements on these scans suggest a response to the drug.
"The effects of cabozantinib on bone scans are unprecedented in the treatment of prostate cancer," says lead study author David C. Smith, M.D., professor of internal medicine and urology at the University of Michigan Medical School.
Cabozantinib is designed to target two important pathways linked to the growth and spread of prostate cancer. The drug had the most effect on tumors that had spread to the bone, which is the major site where prostate cancer spreads. These tumors are typically very challenging to treat once they become resistant to hormone-based therapies.
In addition to the improvements on bone scans, 67 percent of patients with bone pain reported an improvement in pain control and 56 percent decreased or eliminated narcotic painkillers after treatment with cabozantinib. Results of the study appear in the Journal of Clinical Oncology.
The trial enrolled 171 men with castration-resistant prostate cancer, meaning their tumors no longer responded to hormone-based therapies. The study began as a randomized trial in which all patients received cabozantinib for 12 weeks, after which patients were randomized to receive continued cabozantinib or placebo. The randomization was stopped early because of the dramatic effects on bone scan, and because patients receiving placebo saw their cancer progress much more quickly than those that remained on drug.
Among the 31 patients who were randomized, cancer progressed after a median 23.9 weeks for patients taking cabozantinib, compared with 5.9 weeks for patients on placebo.
"Discontinuing randomization is not common. Stabilization of disease in advanced prostate cancer is rarely due to the natural history of the disease and is in this case due to drug effect," Smith says.
"While these initial results are promising, we are still uncertain how cabozantinib will impact the gold standard of survival," he adds.
Phase III studies have begun at some institutions, and U-M researchers are conducting a phase II study to better understand the effect cabozantinib has on bone. This drug is not offered routinely in clinical care at this time. For information about prostate cancer treatment options or clinical trials currently open at the U-M Comprehensive Cancer Center, call the Cancer AnswerLine at 800-865-1125.
Prostate cancer statistics: 241,740 Americans will be diagnosed with prostate cancer this year and 28,170 will die from the disease, according to the American Cancer Society

Product Questions and Answers
Can I paint a whole new painting over this varnish? (I used Liquitex heavy bodied acrylic paints). If so, would I just gesso over it as if it were a fresh canvas and then paint?- Asked by Kim on 25-Apr-14
This permanent water-based varnish is non-removable. It may be possible to sand the varnish layer away and reach previous acrylic layers. A new painting may be made with acrylic paint directly over any remaining acrylic layers or gesso may be applied in between. If the varnish is still present, the new painting may crack over time.- Answered by MisterArt on 29-Apr-14

The casino compact between the Mashpee Wampanoag tribe and the state of Massachusetts has now taken effect, tribal leadership said Friday.
The casino compact between the Mashpee Wampanoag tribe and the state of Massachusetts has now taken effect, tribal leadership said Friday.
"This is a very exciting day for the Mashpee Wampanoag tribe, the city of Taunton and the commonwealth of Massachusetts," tribal chairman Cedric Cromwell said Friday.
The tribe, he said, received confirmation Friday from the federal Bureau of Indian Affairs that the compact is deemed approved.
The development comes more than a year after the BIA rejected a previous compact. If the tribe is able to meet the other requirements to build a Taunton casino under federal law, the facility's operation would be governed by the compact.
The agreement outlines the terms of operation for the tribe's proposed Taunton casino and includes provisions for the state to collect payments from the tribe in lieu of taxes. If the state approves a commercial casino in southeastern Massachusetts, however, the tribe would not have to share any of its casino revenue.
Thursday was the last day of the federal statutory review period of the compact. Any compact that is not affirmatively approved or rejected within the review period is deemed approved to the extent that it complies with the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act, according to information provided by a government source familiar with the process.
"In essence, the tribal-state compact represents the first gaming license in the commonwealth of Massachusetts," Cromwell said. "Today we've made history and we have nothing but excitement, joy and positive movement."
Obtaining land sovereignty remains a potentially bigger hurdle on the Mashpee's path to a tribal casino.
Under the compact, the Mashpee would pay the state 21 percent of casino revenue if there are no commercial casinos anywhere in Massachusetts, or 17 percent if the proposed tribal casino is the only gambling facility in southeastern Massachusetts. The state's share would drop to 15 percent if a slots parlor open in the region.
If another casino opens in southeastern Massachusetts, the state would collect nothing from the proposed tribal casino.
"I'm pleased that the Commonwealth's Compact with the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe has been given final approval under federal law. This is another important step toward growing jobs and opportunity in the Southeast region, and a good deal for both the Commonwealth and the Tribe," Gov. Deval Patrick said in a statement.
The state's expanded gambling law opens the door for up to three commercial casinos and one slots parlor to open statewide. The Massachusetts Gaming Commission initially held off on accepting applications for a commercial casino in the southeastern region in order to give the Mashpee a chance to make progress on their federal land application without regional competition from commercial entities.
Amid concerns that the tribe was stalling out in the federal process, however, the Gaming Commission voted last year to accept commercial casino applications in southeastern Massachusetts, but stopped short of saying it would award a commercial license in the region. The commissioners said they would examine a number of factors, including the tribe's progress, before deciding whether to award a commercial license in the region, which includes Bristol and Plymouth counties, Cape Cod and the islands.
"Now that the compact has essentially been given an OK, I would hope the Gaming Commission would be very cautious about moving forward with any commercial license in southeastern Massachusetts, because we could end up losing out on millions of dollars of gaming revenues if they guess wrong," state Sen. Marc Pacheco, D-Taunton, said.
The compact is just one of many components of the Mashpee Wampanoag tribe's pursuit of a casino in East Taunton. The most significant remaining obstacle facing the tribe is obtaining sovereign land. The tribe, which currently holds no reservation land, has submitted a land-in-trust application with the federal Department of the Interior.
"I think its another step in the right direction," said Taunton Mayor Thomas Hoye Jr., who in 2012 signed a separate mitigation agreement with the tribe on behalf of the city. "Now the question becomes, 'When will land be taken into trust for the project to come to fruition?' Hopefully in the near future we'll get some indication."
A 2009 Supreme Court ruling, however, raises questions about the authority of the Department of the Interior to take land in trust for tribe's that were not under federal jurisdiction prior to the 1934 Indian Reorganization Act. The Mashpee achieved official federal recognition in 2007.
A tribal casino cannot be built under federal law without an affirmative land-in-trust designation. Unlike commercial casinos, a tribal casino is approved through a federal process and is not subject to state licensure.
Jeff Harris, legal counsel to KG Urban, the commercial entity seeking to build a casino in New Bedford, characterized Cromwell's statement that the Mashpee essentially have a license as false.
"The Mashpee tribe has no license to do anything in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts related to gaming that it did not have yesterday," Harris said in a statement. "Under the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act and the United States Constitution, Indian casinos (and gambling of any kind) are illegal except on Indian lands.This was reiterated in an opinion by the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit in KG Urban v. Patrick in August 2012. The Mashpee tribe has no Indian lands."
KG Urban has a pending federal lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of the preferences given to the Mashpee in the 2011 state expanded gambling law.
Cromwell maintains the tribe is on track to have land in trust within the 2014 calendar year. Citing a letter from the BIA, Cromwell had previously predicted a land in trust determination in 2013, but that did not come to fruition.
KG disputes the tribe's assertion and maintains the Mashpee are inelligible to have land taken in trust as a result of the 2009 Supreme Court ruling on Carcieri v. Salazar.
"The compact is thus legally irrelevant and is nothing more than a distraction," Harris said. "The notion that the tribe will 'break ground on a casino by the end of 2014' is nothing short of absurd."
Last year, the Department of the Interior rejected a previous version of the compact on grounds that the revenue share was disproportionate to the concessions the state made to the tribe. The previous compact did not contain a scenario under which the tribe would pay no revenue in the event that it lost exclusivity in the southeastern Massachusetts casino market.
In rejecting the first compact, the Department of the Interior also took issue with the state's attempt to use concessions unrelated to gambling, such as tribal fishing rights, as leverage.
The new compact, according to state and tribal officials, was negotiated with assistance from the Bureau of Indian Affairs.

SEATTLE -- An amendment that would have allowed bosses to ask for a worker's Facebook or other social media password during company investigations was withdrawn on Wednesday from a bill in
However, House lawmakers said they will keep tweaking the bill to address concerns by business groups.
The measure was sponsored by
, D-Lake Stevens, to safeguard the passwords of workers and job applicants. It now bars employers from asking for social media credentials during job interviews.
On Wednesday,
withdrew the amendment that he had introduced at the request of business groups. The groups were concerned the original bill would open an avenue for employees to divulge proprietary or consumer information to outsiders.
Without the amendment,
, cleared the committee and now awaits a full House vote, where it could be further amended.
Sells said the failed amendment didn't specify what kind of evidence managers would need before they could ask for a social media password.
Other members of the panel agreed.
"We had a lot of concerns with the vagueness of the striking amendment," said
, R-Ellensburg, said during Wednesday's meeting. "We also recognize that there are legitimate concerns by the business community. We do hold them responsible for harassment that takes place in their workplace."
The amendment said an employer conducting an investigation could require or demand access to a personal social media account if there are allegations of work-place misconduct or giving away proprietary information. The amendment would have required an investigation to ensure compliance with applicable laws or regulatory requirements.
Under the amendment, employees would have been present when their social network profiles are searched, and information found would be kept confidential unless it is relevant to a criminal investigation.
, who studies emerging technologies, said companies have federal, state and common laws that protect proprietary information. After reading the amendment, Calo said language such as "work-related misconduct" was broad.
The Associated Press reported last year that some employers around the country were asking applicants for their social media information. Seven states have banned employers from asking job applicants and employees for social network passwords, with some exceptions.
Another 33 states are considering similar laws, according to the

7 Trends To Watch At Work in 2014
By Matt Ferguson
CEO of CareerBuilder
The U.S. economy experienced its share of ups and downs in 2013. Yet as the year came to a close, the economy showed signs of improvement that should continue into 2014. The housing sector is rebounding, the stock market has hit new highs, consumer spending is up and unemployment is at its lowest in five years. Even with these positive indicators, the debt issues in Washington will continue to play a role in impeding a more accelerated jobs recovery.
Employers are cautiously optimistic that 2014 will bring a stronger job market, but they aren't ready to commit to upping their staff until the outcomes of debt negotiations and other issues affecting economic expansion are clearer. While we'll need to wait until these issues are resolved to know the full impact they'll have on employers' hiring plans in the New Year, job seekers should pay attention to the following seven trends shaping the 2014 job market, identified in CareerBuilder's annual job forecast:
1. Full-time, permanent hiring stalled
The uncertainties surrounding the debt ceiling will cause employers to be more guarded in their plans to hire permanent staff in 2014. Twenty-four percent of employers expect to hire full-time, permanent workers – down from 26 percent last year – yet one in ten is still undecided about recruitment plans. Nearly one in four employers will hire at a slower rate or will hold off on headcount expansion until the debt ceiling is resolved in the first quarter.
Sales will lead the way in positions employers will most need to fill in the New Year, with 30 percent of hiring managers planning to recruit full-time, permanent employees for sales-related roles. Information technology is close behind, at 29 percent, followed by customer service (25 percent), production (24 percent), administrative (22 percent), engineering (17 percent), marketing (17 percent), business development (17 percent), accounting/finance (15 percent), research/development (13 percent) and human resources (10 percent).
2. Companies relying on temporary and contract hiring
A trend that has been growing post-recession is for companies to turn to contract and temporary help to meet their hiring needs. This allows them to have flexibility in their workforce, so that as market demands change, they can dial up or dial down staffing as needed. Forty-two percent of employers plan to hire temporary or contract workers in 2014, up from 40 percent last year. Of these employers, 43 percent plan to transition some temporary employees into full-time, permanent members of their staff.
3. Part-time hiring on the rise
Companies will also rely more on part-time employees in the New Year. Seventeen percent of employers expect to recruit part-time workers over the next 12 months, up three percentage points over last year. While various factors will influence this trend, 12 percent of all employers stated that they will likely hire more part-time workers in 2014 due to the Affordable Care Act.
4. STEM occupations continue to grow
As the U.S. continues on its path of economic recovery, there are certain occupations that will be a driving force behind the rebuilding and strengthening of our economy. The technological innovations, new products and discoveries that come from STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) occupations help fuel economic growth and keep the U.S. competitive in a global marketplace. These occupations, which have been a major focus in the past several years, will continue to remain center stage, with more than one in four employers (26 percent) planning to create jobs in these areas over the next 12 months.
5. Skills gap widening
While the growth of high-skill, specialized occupations is a positive sign for the economy, human resources managers are struggling to keep up with the demand to fill these jobs. Looking at a subset of HR managers, 51 percent said they currently have positions for which they can't find qualified candidates. Forty-six percent said these positions go unfilled for three months or longer.
Companies have come to realize that if they wait for the perfect candidate, he or she may never come, so they're putting more emphasis on training and development to help shrink the widening skills gap. Nearly half (49 percent) of employers plan to train people who don't have experience in their industry or field and hire them in 2014, up 10 percentage points over last year. Twenty-six percent of employers are sending current employees back to school to get an advanced degree – and covering all or some of the expense.
6. More companies "onshoring" jobs
The U.S. government has strongly supported initiatives to bring jobs back to America as a way to spur U.S. growth. It looks as though the push for more "onshoring" is proving fruitful: 23 percent of companies who offshore jobs said they brought some of those jobs back to the U.S. in 2013. What's more, 26 percent plan to do so in the next 12 months, indicating that this is not just a passing trend.
7. Compensation more competitive for specialized and in-demand positions
In order for companies to find and retain the best talent, they'll need to offer competitive compensation, especially for in-demand or hard-to-fill positions. Sales and IT – the top two positions companies plan to hire for in the New Year – are also where employers expect to provide the biggest salary increases. When it comes to high-skill roles, 26 percent of employers plan to raise starting salaries for these specialized positions in 2014.
Looking across positions within an organization, 73 percent of employers expect to increase compensation for existing employees – on par with last year – while 49 percent will offer higher starting salaries for new employees – up from 47 percent last year.
Employers are continuing to proceed with caution with their hiring plans as they head into 2014. Yet, as the economic issues plaguing Washington play out over the next few months and employers find their footing, there is greater potential for the average monthly job creation in 2014 to exceed that of 2013.

Offices burned and leaders jailed, Muslim Brotherhood struggles to respond to Morsi ouster
One week after Egypt's military ousted Islamist President Mohammed Morsi, his followers in the Muslim Brotherhood are under siege and struggling with no clear strategy to find a way back into the political arena.
The political wing of the movement Wednesday rejected any role in the interim government now being assembled or in elections that are to follow in the next six months. A spokesman said the Brotherhood is hoping that nationwide protests will somehow return Egypt's first ever democratically elected leader to power.
"They will collapse within days," said Mohamed Zidan, a spokesman for the Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party, speaking of the interim government headed by Prime Minister Hazem el-Beblawi, 76, a former finance minister. As for Morsi's supporters, "Our first reaction will be in the streets and the squares. We are not going to leave the squares for one day, for one week, for our lives."
Morsi, his powerful deputy, Khairat el-Shaiter, and four other senior associates are now under arrest. On Wednesday, the first day of Ramadan, the newly named state's attorney issued arrest warrants for nine others, including Mohammed Badie, the Muslim Brotherhood's supreme leader. Government officials said none was immediately arrested, however.
Egypt's prosecutor-general ordered 206 people held for further investigation following a clash between the military and Morsi backers at the Republican Guard headquarters in Cairo, in which at least 55 people died. Another 446 were released on bail.
In another development, Kuwait became the latest Gulf Arab state to throw its support behind the new military-backed government, pledging $4 billion in aid and fuel to the $8 billion promised Tuesday by Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.
Zidan acknowledged that many "normal people are not happy with Morsi's performance" in his year in office, which ended July 3, three days after the June 30 anniversary of his taking office.
But he said Morsi's future "is not negotiable."
"You can kill 10 million people. I will be in the street," Zidan said.
He predicted the pro-Morsi demonstrations would be much bigger than the estimated 13 million to 20 million who turned out to oppose him, in demonstrations that began June 30 and lasted until the military made its move.
Zidan said the protests will remain peaceful but that Morsi's backers are ready to die.
"I don't want to live this life without democracy," he told McClatchy. Citing 7th century Islamic history, he referred to Hamza, the Prophet Muhammad's uncle, who died while defending his nephew, as the "best martyr," for he'd spoken truth to tyrants. Hamza is sometimes called the "Chief of the Martyrs."
The Freedom and Justice Party no longer has a formal headquarters – its Cairo offices were burned last week, and Zidan said he couldn't venture out into the city for fear of arrest. To interview him Wednesday, two McClatchy reporters had to proceed on foot into a sort of no-man's land that gave a sense of the siege under which Morsi supporters now operate. Armored personnel carriers and paddy wagons are stationed at the foot of Gamat el Dewal street, near the Cairo zoo in the upscale Giza section. Beyond them, Muslim Brotherhood security personnel have thrown up a barbed-wire barrier, where they demanded press credentials before admitting the reporters onto the sun-baked street.
The interview took place at curbside on the garbage-strewn dividing island.
It was the first day of Ramadan, the sacred month in the Islamic religious calendar when Muslims fast from dawn to dusk. It is a big family holiday, and the first time in nearly two weeks demonstrators mostly stayed home.
Zidan made it clear that like any movement under enormous stress, the main objective of the Brotherhood is to keep its followers fired up and to avert divisions that already have occurred between it and some other Islamist parties. The conservative Nour party, whose members are followers of the fundamentalist Salafist branch of Islam, backed the military's ouster of Morsi.
Nour's position, however, now is open to question. It objected to a decree Tuesday that gave the militarily installed president, Adly Mansour, the Supreme Constitutional Court's chief justice, broad powers. On Wednesday, a Mansour spokesman said Nour would not serve in any new government.
Meanwhile, the National Salvation Front, the largest anti-Morsi bloc whose leader, Mohamed ElBaradei, was named the country's vice president, backed off its criticism of the decree even as the youth wing of Egypt's Coptic Christian Church took public exception to a provision that stipulated that Shariah, the Islamic legal code, would be the source for all future legislation.
That sort of arguing was played in millions of Egyptian homes, where families gathered to break the daylong fast with dates, fruit juice and decadent sweets and to debate the military's decision to remove Morsi and impose its own government.
At one such gathering, grandfathers recalled the days after 1952 when then-Col. Gamal Abdel Nasser staged a coup and upon taking power rounded up members of the Muslim Brotherhood, beginning a long period of government suppression of the group. They suggested history was repeating itself, this time through Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi, the minister of defense and commander of the Supreme Council of Armed Forces, who announced Morsi's ouster in a nationally televised address.
The adult grandchildren at the table rejected the comparison, calling what happened a week ago a popular referendum backed by millions of Egyptians.
That was a fair reflection of the nationwide debate in the week since Morsi's ouster, making for an unusually contentious first night of the holy month.

Led Zeppelin
- John "Bonzo" Bonham
- Jimmy Page
- Robert Plant
- John Paul Jones
Hard rock and heavy metal as we know it wouldn't exist without Led Zeppelin, one of the most popular and innovative rock bands ever.
The band's blues explosions frequently gave way to heavy folk, mystical psychedelic rock and orchestral detours–a testament to the U.K. group's versatility and willingness to push sonic boundaries.
When the Yardbirds split in 1968, lead guitarist Jimmy Page wasted no time putting together a new band. The reasons were partly pragmatic: the now-dissolved group still had some tour dates left on the docket in Denmark and Sweden, so Page's new project would fulfill those obligations.
But mostly, Page wanted to form a band which emphasized guitars, yet still boasted impeccable overall musicianship. Page first found two kindred spirits in vocalist Robert Plant and drummer John "Bonzo" Bonham, who had been bandmates in an English group called Band of Joy. Bassist John Paul Jones, who knew Page from their shared days in the session musician world, completed the lineup.
In September 1968, this new group did the Scandinavian tour billed as the New Yardbirds. However, things quickly started moving in an original direction: upon returning to England, the quartet adopted the name Led Zeppelin and almost immediately went into the studio to record their debut album.
1969's Led Zeppelin certainly owes a debt to the bluesy sound of the Yardbirds; in fact, Page has said he had leftover riffs laying around from his time in that band. However, the LP already shows signs of Led Zeppelin's singularity, between Bonham's bustling drumming on "Good Times Bad Times" and the mystical, acoustic-electric foundation of "Babe, I'm Gonna Leave You."
The band hit the road after the LP's release, and spent the spring and summer touring North America, the U.K. and Europe. From those treks spawned Led Zeppelin II (1969), an LP highlighted by the hard rock seduction "Whole Lotta Love," dirge-like smolder "What Is And What Should Never Be" and the lighter psychedelic sprawl "Thank You."
As this album underscored, Led Zeppelin's blues-based approach to rock & roll was a study in contrasts. Page's acoustic-based folk detours were just as heavy as his Godzilla-sized electric riffs, thanks to Bonham and Jones' searing rhythm section rumbles. The former was also one of the most gifted, versatile drummers of all time: not only was he capable of jaw-dropping power and velocity, but he also deftly incorporated evocative percussion elements which added texture and shading.
Plant, meanwhile, was a raw, unfettered and magnetic vocalist who nevertheless knew when to hold back and tone down his voice to increase tension, drama or sex appeal. Led Zeppelin provided the blueprint for heavy metal, but also pioneered the trend of rock bands embracing stripped-down arrangements and writing power ballads.
As the 1970s dawned, Led Zeppelin continued pushing their sound forward. Led Zeppelin III (1970) incorporated a zoned-out Moog synthesizer, pedal steel and Jones' first string arrangements—the latter something that would later become a hallmark of (and further distinguish) the band's sound.
1971's Led Zeppelin IV, meanwhile, contained some of Led Zeppelin's most enduring songs. The plaintive "The Battle of Evermore" and "Going To California"—both songs featuring prominent mandolin—and the epic "Stairway To Heaven" exhibited a sparser vibe, while "Black Dog" and "Rock and Roll" hewed toward the band's snarling, electric side.
1973's Houses Of The Holy is just as classic, courtesy of the psychedelic-tinged "Over The Hills And Far Away" and corkscrew-riffed "Dancing Days," while 1975's loose-limbed double LP Physical Graffiti revolves around the orchestra-aided thunder of "Kashmir."
Throughout these commercial heights, Led Zeppelin still maintained grueling touring commitments. However, this hard work paid off: The band were playing in front of massive audiences both in the U.S. and the U.K., and had sold millions of records. At the same time, the band's offstage antics—from drug use and hedonism to violence and other miscellaneous debauched indulgences—were just as legendary. Led Zeppelin were capital-R rock stars who exuded cool mixed with twinges of danger.
Unfortunately, the band's highs didn't last. In August 1975, Plant and his wife, Maureen, were injured in a serious car accident; in 1977, Plant's five-year-old son, Karac, died of a respiratory infection. All told, after 1975, Led Zeppelin only toured three times. (1976's The Song Remains The Same live album and concert film somewhat soothed those looking for a Led Zeppelin live fix.)
1979's In Through The Out Door brought the minor hit "Fool In The Rain," whose Latin-reminiscent percussive elements represented yet another progression for the band. However, Led Zeppelin's career was tragically cut short in 1980: while the band was rehearsing for a U.S. tour, Bonham accidentally died after he choked on his own vomit while intoxicated.
In the aftermath of his death, Led Zeppelin split up, and eventually released a swan song, Coda, in 1982. Over the years, the surviving members of the band have worked with each other in various musical projects. Perhaps most notably, Page and Plant released two albums and toured together in the '90s.
Led Zeppelin have also reunited with a fill-in drummer for special occasions, notably at 1985's Live Aid, Led Zeppelin's 1995 Rock Hall induction and at the 2007 Ahmet Ertegun tribute concert. A full-scale reunion has been elusive, however—a testament to Bonham's irreplaceable nature and the band members' desire to keep moving forward and resist stagnancy.
Inductees: John "Bonzo" Bonham (drummer; born May 31, 1948, died September 25, 1980), John Paul Jones (bass; born January 3, 1946), Jimmy Page (guitar; born January 9, 1944), Robert Plant (vocals; born August 20, 1948)

Small Business Web Tools
I'm currently an accountant trying to break free from my boring J-O-B. This podcast will help me market my services as a web strategy consultant and allow me to do the type of work that I truly enjoy. I have a passion for technology and learning about the latest online tools and enjoy teaching others how to use them. I like the idea of helping small businesses "level the playing field" by competing online.
The podcast will profile online tools and show business owners how to use them (an episode featuring 99 Designs is in the works!)
I'm hoping to reach very small businesses, from one-person entrepreneurs up to 10 or 20 employees, max. The type of person that is good at what they do but may not be a computer guru. They realize that they need to do something to remain competitive and are looking for info and/or help.
I don't want to appear too fancy or too high-tech. I want these business owners to feel that I am one of them (because I am!)
I am looking for a logo that will become my brand identity. The podcast is called Small Business Web Tools and the website is not live yet.
The logo will appear on the website. It also needs to be something that I can use as iTunes album art, so it needs to look good and remain legible at 600x600 (it needs big, bold lettering).
I would LOVE IT if the design consisted of big, bold letters plus some sort of graphic element that could possibly be used on its own. Something with a distinctive look that could help identify the brand all on its own. So if someone saw just that graphic they might recognize it as belonging to the Small Business Web Tools brand. Maybe something like a wrench, computer mouse, or just some abstract symbol that "feels right".
I think it might look nice if the words "Small Business" were one color and "Web Tools" were a second color. One idea would be to string the words all together, with the first letter of each word larger than the others, like in a URL. Another idea is to have the first 2 words on top on the other 2 with the graphic on the left.
Colors: blue and yellow, blue and green, yellow and green - or anything that you think will look better! I am not much of a designer and am relying on you guys!
Please don't use any clip art or stock photos.
I will need a high quality PNG and a layered PSD file.
Any questions, let me know!

After getting sued by Ford on Wednesday for naming its Formula 1 car F150, Ferrari announced today it would just use the full name — Ferrari F150th Italia. Does Ford really want to get into a fight over technicalities with a F1 team?
Always masters of packaging, Ferrari crams a record-setting amount of pique into just a couple of paragraphs:
Ferrari believes that its own contender in the forthcoming F1 championship cannot be confused with other types of commercially available vehicle of any sort whatsoever, nor can it give the impression that there is a link to another brand of road-going vehicle. Therefore it is very difficult to understand Ford's viewpoint on the matter.
Despite this and to further prove it is acting in good faith and that it operates in a completely correct manner, Ferrari has decided to ensure that in all areas of operation, the abbreviated version will be replaced at all times with the full version, Ferrari F150th Italia.
We're checking with Ford to see if this settles it, or if the lawyers will still be starting their engines.

Recordings of Convocations
Convocation: Dennis Meadows '64
Created 1 April 2011; Published 5 April 2011
Dennis Meadows '64, a scientist who has spent decades studying the Earth's capacity to endure human population growth and extractive economies, believes it is too late to stop climate change. Meadows and colleagues from the Club of Rome, a think tank focused on global challenges, produced a report in 1972 called "The Limits of Growth." Their research concluded humans and their economies would outstrip the earth's resources if growth wasn't limited. They updated the report in 2004 and found that on a planet-wide scale, humans had not made much progress on saving the Earth's resources. Consequently, he suggests ways communities and nations can begin adjusting to climate change, peak oil, less water and other realities. The title of his presentation was "Preparing for Life with MUCH Less Energy."

- Created 13 May 2011; Published 17 May 2011Convocation: Annie Leonard
A proponent of sustainability and critic of excessive consumerism, Annie Leonard is most known for her animated film "The Story of Stuff" about the life-cycle of material goods. This hit 20-minute webfilm takes viewers on a provocative and eye-opening tour of the often hidden costs of our consumer driven culture. "The Story of Stuff" has generated over 10 million views in more than 200 countries and territories since its launch, making it one of the most successful environmental-themed viral films of all time. The film has also won numerous awards, and in 2008 Leonard was named one of Time Magazine's Heroes of the Environment. Leonard has spent nearly two decades investigating and organizing on environmental health and justice issues, traveling to over 40 countries to visit the factories where our stuff is made and the dumps where it ends up. As she explores how our obsession with stuff is trashing the planet, our communities, and our health, she offers a vision for change and a sense of hope that we can find a more sustainable way to meet our material needs. The title of her presentation was "The Story of Stuff: The Impact of Overconsumption on the Planet, Our Communities, and Our Health—And How We Can Make It Better."
- Created 6 May 2011; Published 11 May 2011Convocation: Arn Chorn-Pond

Subject of the Emmy-nominated documentary The Flute Player and a founder of Children of War, an international youth leadership organization for building community, activism and healing for teenagers, Chorn-Pond opens eyes and hearts as he helps to heal. The title of his presentation was "Child of War, Man of Peace."
- Created 29 April 2011; Published 2 May 2011Convocation: Joshua Aronson
Associate Professor of Applied Psychology at NYU's Steinhardt School of Culture, Education and Human Development, Joshua Aronson has been studying stereotypes, self-esteem, motivation, and attitudes for the past 13 years. His work seeks to understand and remediate race and gender gaps in educational achievement and standardized test performance. Often, the low performance of blacks in particular, but other minorities as well, gets casually chalked up to genetic or cultural differences that supposedly block acquisition of skills or values necessary for academic achievement. In sharp contrast, Aronson has uncovered some exciting and encouraging answers to these old questions by looking at the psychology of stigma—the way human beings respond to negative stereotypes about their racial or gender group. What he has found suggests that being targeted by well-known cultural stereotypes ("blacks are unintelligent", "girls can't do math", and so on) can be very threatening, a predicament that has been termed "Stereotype Threat."
- Created 22 April 2011; Published 29 April 2011Convocation: Margaret Lowman

- Created 15 April 2011; Published 29 April 2011Convocation: Louis Menand
Harvard University professor of English and American literature and language, Louis Menand is widely considered to be the foremost modern scholar of American studies. He is the author of the Pulitzer Prize winning The Metaphysical Club, a detailed history of American intellectual and philosophical life in the 19th and 20th centuries. His recent book The Marketplace of Ideas, has sparked a debate about the future of American education. Has American higher education become a dinosaur? Why do professors all tend to think alike? What makes it so hard for colleges to decide which subjects should be required? Why do teachers and scholars find it so difficult to transcend the limits of their disciplines? Why, in short, are problems that should be easy for universities to solve so intractable? The answer, Menand argues, is that the institutional structure and the educational philosophy of higher education have remained the same for one hundred years, while faculties and student bodies have radically changed and technology has drastically transformed the way people produce and disseminate knowledge. Sponsored by the Fred W. and Margaret C. Schuster Distinguished Visiting Lecturer in Literature Fund, the title of his presentation was "Why the Case for Liberal Education is Hard to Make."
