The Kinter – Too Much Too Ask?
However, she was more than willing to listen to me explain the rules and nuances of the game over a few Leinies one MNF. Of course I started from the very beginning (a very good place to start). Soon, she was firing zingers left and right. They were the kind of zingers that can keep a man up at night, lost in thought, frustration and sometimes revelation.
She asked me, "Why is it called football? I've always wondered that. I mean, if you think about it, they use their hands way more than their feet. It should really be called handball." Wow. That was a really really good point. I honestly had never thought about that before. "It's tradition," I responded firmly, trying my best to sound like I knew what I was talking about.
Later, as I was outlining special teams coverage, she pointed out that the punter was different from the field goal kicker. "So there's two guys on the team and all they do is kick the ball? That's kind of weird. Why can't just one guy do both?" she asked. "No, no, no." I scoffed. "They're specialists. Trained for a specific job, you see. It's complicated." "Whatever, that's dumb," she replied.
But as I laughed her "ridiculous" question, a shiny revelation came to light – she was absolutely right. Why can't one guy handle all the kicking duties? Simply combine the kicker and punter positions into one: the Kinter. why hasn't this been thought of before? It's probably the most logical evolution since Red Bull/Vodka.
Seriously, if you're a kicking specialist; as in all you do is kick footballs, what's the problem? You've obviously got the leg strength and have proven you can place your foot where you want on the ball. It's still special teams. For adding just one natural extension of your abilities, you could make yourself that much more valuable to your team. Hell, you'd probably get paid twice as much! You'd open a roster spot. And best of all, you'd be an innovator; the guy who finally stood up and said, "Wait a minute. I'm pretty sure this is dumb. Yep, this is stupid."

Groups try to revive immigration
Nancy Pelosi is huddling with Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg, top labor leaders and former AOL executive Steve Case in separate meetings this week as supporters of immigration reform try to revive the issue, which fast seems to be dying on Capitol Hill.
Their goal: get legislation moving in the House again before the Thanksgiving recess.
Story Continued Below
Proponents concede that it's a heavy lift and that Republican lawmakers didn't come out of the August recess ready to act. The Syria debate and now the battle over whether to fund the government and hike the debt ceiling are the top priorities in the GOP-controlled House, whose rank and file are already skeptical of immigration reform. Putting immigration back on the front burner is going to be tough, especially right before the 2014 elections when Republicans won't be eager to be seen as agreeing with President Barack Obama's agenda.
( PHOTOS: 10 wild immigration quotes)
But immigration supporters aren't going down without a fight.
"We have to remind them that this matters and there will be a price to pay if they don't do anything," said Tamar Jacoby, a veteran immigration reform supporter who is the president and CEO of the business group ImmigrationWorks.
To that end, Pelosi met with Case on Tuesday. On Thursday, she, House Democratic Caucus Chairman Xavier Becerra of California and Democratic Reps. Zoe Lofgren of California, John Yarmuth of Kentucky and George Miller of California are slated to meet with Richard Trumka and Bill Samuel of the AFL-CIO, Mary Kay Henry of the SEIU, Janet Murguía of the National Council of La Raza, Frank Sharry of America's Voice and Gustavo Torres, the executive director of CASA de Maryland.
( Also on POLITICO: Tech still pushing on immigration reform)
Pelosi and many of the same lawmakers are also slated to meet Thursday to discuss immigration reform with Facebook co-founder Zuckerberg, a Democratic aide confirmed. That will come one day after a similar meeting between Zuckerberg and Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), according to a Schumer aide.
Outside supporters are also meeting with conservative power brokers, who are key to whether immigration will make it onto the House agenda this year. House Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy's staff met last week with its ad hoc coalitions group to discuss progress during the August recess.
There may also be action from another group: the Senate Gang of Eight, which wrote the bipartisan compromise that swept through the Senate in June. The authors of that landmark bill, which opened a pathway to citizenship for millions of undocumented immigrants in the United States, had once argued that passage by a large bipartisan majority in the Senate would jump-start action in the House — a theory that hasn't materialized.
( Also on POLITICO: Immigration reform's No. 1 enemy is ...)
Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), a top Senate immigration negotiator, said Tuesday that members of the Gang of Eight are planning to meet soon to discuss the current status of reform in the House. The meeting was confirmed by another aide to a Gang of Eight member, though a spokesman for Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) said it was unlikely that Rubio would attend.
The purpose of the meeting, McCain said, is to brainstorm what the Gang senators could do to "help move this process forward."
"I don't know if there is," he added. House Republicans bristled in mid-July when the group of senators met with outside groups supporting immigration reform and formulated a campaign-style strategy to target more than 100 House Republicans over the August recess.
Despite the blowback, Schumer, the so-called leader of the Gang of Eight, continued to work the phones over the August recess with a clear message: Please get active on immigration and back reform in the Republican-led House.
( CARTOONS: Matt Wuerker on immigration)
He reached out to his usual pro-reform allies — from the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops to the tech industry to the Bibles, Badges and Business coalition. But Schumer took particular aim at conservative and business-oriented groups — and had conversations with officials from the Business Roundtable, Financial Services Roundtable and the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America — as well as representatives from various Fortune 500 companies.

David Firth, software: PDFjam
Author: David Firth, http://go.warwick.ac.uk/dfirth

- Using the scripts
- Mac OS X only: drag-and-drop

- Version history
PDFjam is a small collection of shell scripts which provide a simple interface to much of the functionality of the excellent pdfpages package (by Andreas Matthias) for pdfLaTeX. These scripts take one or more PDF files (and/or JPG/PNG graphics files) as input, and produce one or more PDF files as output. They are useful for joining files together, selecting pages, reducing several source pages onto one output page, etc., etc.
The main script is named "pdfjam". This is the core of the package.
All of the other scripts provided in the PDFjam package are optional extras. They are simple wrappers for calls to pdfjam, designed to perform some common tasks such as joining or n-upping PDF files or to illustrate other features; they are not very elaborate, nor are they extensively tested. They are probably best thought of as simple templates that can be used for constructing more elaborate wrapper scripts as required. At present the wrapper scripts distributed in the PDFjam package are:
- pdfnup, which allows one or more PDF files to be "n-upped" in roughly the way that psnup does for PostScript files. (This was the original motivation: for files that have to be printed, or have to be made available to dozens or hundreds of other people for printing, n-up formatting saves trees!)
- pdfpun, similar to pdfnup but arranges the source pages right-to-left on the output page, ie in a format more suitable for right-to-left languages. This script works only on one file at a time. (Thanks to Ido for suggesting this.)
- pdfjoin, which combines the pages of multiple PDF files together into a single file.
- pdf90, pdf180 and pdf270 which rotate the pages of one or more PDF files.
- pdfflip which reflects the pages of one or more PDF files. (Suitable for making transparencies if you want to write on the back of them!)
- pdfbook which arranges pages into 2-up "signatures" (like psbook does for PostScript files), suitable for binding into a book. (Many people have suggested that this would be useful — I hope it is!)
- pdfjam-pocketmod which converts 8 pages from a single PDF file into a pocket-sized booklet. (Folding instructions here! Thanks to Thomas Nemeth for suggesting this.)
- pdfjam-slides6up and pdfjam-slides3up which process PDF presentation slides to six-per-page or three-per-page for handout purposes.
A potential drawback of pdfjam and other scripts based upon it is that any hyperlinks in the source PDF are lost. On the positive side, there is no appreciable degradation of image quality in processing PDF files with these programs, unlike some other indirect methods such as pdf2ps | psnup | ps2pdf (in the author's experience).
These tools are designed for Unix-like systems, including Linux and Mac OS X. It seems that they will work also on Windows computers with a suitable installation of Cygwin (with the Cygwin tetex-extras package installed), but this has not been extensively tested.
An alternative set of PDF manipulation tools, which are java-based, is provided by the Multivalent project. They do much the same things as pdfjam, and quite a bit more. Hyperlinks don't seem to be preserved there either, though, when n-upping a document.
For Mac OS X, n-up with a more visual interface is provided by PDF Nup Maker. Like pdfjam, this is a front end to pdflatex/pdfpages.
The PDFjam software is made available free, under GPL version 2 (see the file named COPYING that is included with the package). It comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY of fitness for any purpose whatever.
- A Unix-like operating system (Linux, Mac OS X, Solaris, etc.; possibly Cygwin)
- A working, up-to-date installation of pdfTeX (including pdflatex and an up-to-date copy of pdftex.def)
- A working installation of the LaTeX package pdfpages (version 0.4f or later)
Some of the options offered by pdfjam also require the LaTeX packages geometry and hyperref.
The primary documentation for pdfjam, and hence for the other scripts that call it, is obtained by
pdfjam --help
This gives information on the arguments to pdfjam, and the default settings that apply at your installation. In addition to the arguments that are explicitly documented there, pdfjam provides access to all of the options of the pdfpages package: that's a large number of options, and it's a set of options that might change, so users are referred to the current pdfpages manual to see what's available.
In addition, each of the scripts has a (rather basic) man page. For example,
man pdfjam-pocketmod
gives information about usage and other aspects of the pdfjam-pocketmod script.
PDFjam is a project at freshmeat: please subscribe there to receive update announcements.
Download the shell scripts as pdfjam_latest.tgz.
(If for some reason you don't want the latest version, you can still get older versions. Since version 2.00 the URLs are all of the form http://go.warwick.ac.uk/pdfjam/pdfjam_VN.tgz, with "VN" representing the version number. So "VN" could be 2.00, 2.01, 2.02, 2.03 or 2.04; from PDFjam version 2.05 onwards, the dot will be omitted from the version number in the file name, so "VN" will be 205, 206, etc.)
Various people have kindly packaged PDFjam for distribution in other ways (and perhaps there are some not listed here?):
- Eduard Bloch has packaged PDFjam for Debian
- Paul Chvostek has made a port to FreeBSD
- Pander has provided a link to Ubuntu packages
- Petr Uzel has made available openSUSE packages
- Alexis Ballier has provided a Gentoo package
- Karl Berry has provided a CTAN package.
Cosmin Popescu has written a front-end to the pdfnup script, based on Qt.
To download some stand-alone Mac OS X droplets (based on PDFjam version 1.21), see below.
The shell scripts in the bin sub-directory of the package should be placed on the PATH of anyone who needs to use them.
The man files in the man1 sub-directory should be installed on the MANPATH of all who need to read them.
On many unix-like systems the scripts should run without any further configuration, provided that the pre-requisite TeX installation is present. If you want to check (e.g., prior to installation) that pdfjam will work on your system, please unzip the tests sub-directory of the package and follow the instructions that appear in tests/README-tests.txt.
If configuration is needed, this can be done through a site-wide or user-specific configuration file. This might be necessary if, for example, your site has a non-standard TeX installation, or a non-standard location for temporary files, or a paper size that is different from the A4 international standard.
The file pdfjam.conf is a sample configuration file which can be edited as needed. After editing, either install the file for site-wide use (at /etc/pdfjam.conf, /usr/share/etc/pdfjam.conf, /usr/local/share/pdfjam.conf, or /usr/local/etc/pdfjam.conf) or as a user-defaults file at ~/.pdfjam.conf. User settings made at ~/.pdfjam.conf override corresponding settings made in a site-wide configuration file.
For example, if you want your own output to be on "US letter" size paper by default, simply put the line
in a plain text file named file .pdfnup.conf in your home directory. (The code word letterpaper is how LaTeX refers to that particular page size; for other available paper sizes, please see the output of pdfjam --help.)
On some systems it might even be necessary to change the list of places (i.e., /etc/pdfjam.conf and others as listed above) that is searched for site-wide configuration files. This can only be done by editing the pdfjam script itself. To see which directories on your system are searched for a file named pdfjam.conf, use
pdfjam --configpath
Using the scripts
For a full overview of what pdfjam can do, the importance of the pdfpages manual cannot be stressed enough! The following examples merely serve as a brief introduction.
Example 1
Consider converting each of two documents to a side-by-side "2-up" format. Since we want the two documents to be processed separately, we'll use the --batch option:
pdfjam --batch --nup 2x1 --suffix 2up --landscape --outfile . file1.pdf file2.pdf
This will produce new files file1-2up.pdf and file2-2up.pdf in the current working directory. The above call could be shortened a bit, by using pdfnup, to
pdfnup --batch --suffix 2up file1.pdf file2.pdf
In a 'vanilla' installation of pdfjam, the default for --outfile is the current working directory.
Example 2
Suppose we want a single new document which puts together selected pages from two different files:
pdfjam file1.pdf '{},2-' file2.pdf '10,3-6' --outfile ../myNewFile.pdf
The new file myNewFile.pdf, in the parent directory of the current one, contains an empty page, followed by all pages of file1.pdf except the first, followed by pages 10, 3, 4, 5 and 6 from file2.pdf.
The resulting PDF page size will be whatever is the default paper size for you at your site. If instead you want to preserve the page size of (the first included page from) file1.pdf, use the option --fitpaper true: this is the default action of the pdfjoin convenience script.
(All pages in an output file from pdfjam will have the same size and orientation: for joining together PDF files while preserving different page sizes and orientations, pdfjam is not the tool to use; and since pdfjoin simply calls pdfjam, the same comment applies also to pdfjoin. I'm told that if you have Ghostscript installed, something along these lines might more nicely join files with different page sizes and orientations:
gs -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -q -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutputFile=finished.pdf file1.pdf file2.pdf
But I haven't tried it.)
Example 3
To make a portrait-oriented 4-up file from the pages of three input files, with a thin-line frame around the input pages,
pdfjam file1.pdf file2.pdf file3.pdf --no-landscape --frame true --nup 2x2 \ --suffix 4up --outfile ~/Documents
Here a directory was specified at --outfile: the resultant file in this case will be ~/Documents/file3-4up.pdf. (Note that if there's a writeable file with that name already, it will be overwritten: no check is made, and no warning given.)
Example 4
Suppose we have a document made up of "US letter" size pages, and we want to convert it to A4:
pdfjam 'my US letter file.pdf' --a4paper --outfile 'my A4 file.pdf'
Example 5
A useful application of pdfjam is for producing a handout from a file of presentation slides. For slides made with the standard 4:3 aspect ratio a nice 6-up handout on A4 paper can be made by
pdfjam --nup 2x3 --frame true --noautoscale false --delta "0.2cm 0.3cm" \ --scale 0.95 myslides.pdf --outfile myhandout.pdf
The --delta option here comes from the pdfpages package; the --scale option is passed to LaTeX's \includegraphics command.
The two wrapper scripts pdfjam-slides6up and pdfjam-slides3up are provided in order to make this particular application of pdfjam easy: for example,
pdfjam-slides3up --pagenumbering true --batch slides1.pdf slides2.pdf
makes a pair of 3-up handouts slides1-3up.pdf and slides2-3up.pdf, with space for side-notes and with the handout pages numbered.
(Slides made by LaTeX's beamer package, using the handout class option, work especially nicely with this!)
Example 6
Suppose we want to trim the pages of our input file prior to n-upping. This can be done by using a pipe:
pdfjam myfile.pdf --trim '1cm 2cm 1cm 2cm' --clip true --outfile /dev/stdout | \ pdfnup --frame true --outfile myoutput.pdf
The --trim option specifies an amount to trim from the left, bottom, right and top sides respectively; to work as intended here it needs also --clip true. These (i.e., trim and clip) are in fact options to LaTeX's \includegraphics command (in the standard graphics package).
(Thanks to Christophe Lange and Christian Lohmaier for suggesting an example on this.)
Example 7
To offset the content of double-sided printed pages so that they are suitable for binding with a Heftstreifen, use the --twoside option:
pdfjam --twoside myfile.pdf --offset '1cm 0cm' --suffix 'offset'
Example 8
To use PDF input files whose names do not end in ".pdf", you will need to use the --checkfiles option. This depends on the availability of the file utility, with support for the options -Lb; this can be checked by trying
file -Lb 'my PDF file'
where 'my PDF file' is the name of a PDF file on your system. The result should be something like "PDF document, version 1.4" (possibly with a different version number).
With "file -Lb" available, we can use PDF files whose names lack the usual ".pdf" extension. For example,
pdfnup --checkfiles 'my PDF file'
should result in a file named "my PDF file-nup.pdf" in the current working directory.
Example 9
If you want to print a landscape-oriented PDF document on both sides of the paper, using a duplex printer that does not have 'tumble' capability, make a new version with every second page rotated for printing:
pdfjam --landscape --doublepagestwistodd true my-landscape-document.pdf
Example 10
Please feel free to suggest other examples that might help people! (For the email address, see reporting bugs)
Mac OS X only: drag-and-drop
Under Mac OS X, DropScript has been used to make some simple drag-and-drop applications. Some sample droplets are provided in pdfdroplets_1.21.dmg: these may be all you'll need! The sample droplets look like this:
These droplets assume that your pdflatex is at /usr/texbin/pdflatex. If pdflatex lives somewhere else on your system, the droplets won't work until you include in your home directory a file named .pdfnup.conf (or there is a system-wide file pdfnup.conf at one of the four locations listed above), containing the line
where /path/to/pdflatex is the answer you get when you type which pdflatex in the Terminal. (If you get no answer, chances are that you do not have pdflatex installed on your Mac; if you need to install it, you could just download and install MacTeX or one of its slimmed-down variants.)
1. Why "PDFjam"?
Because it's for PDF files, and jam is what I like best on my toast (well, second best after marmalade, anyway).
2. The thing runs but the output doesn't look the way it should. Why?
Most likely either your pdfTeX or your pdfpages installation is an old version. (Check also that pdftex.def, to be found in in .../texmf/tex/latex/graphics/, is up to date.) If the problem persists even with up-to-date versions of pdfTeX, pdftex.def and pdfpages, then please do report it.
Reporting bugs
Please report any bugs found in these scripts, to d.firth (at warwick.ac.uk).
Some known problems:
- Sometimes font information (such as ligatures) is lost from the output of pdfjam. It seems that a fairly simple fix when this happens is to add the option --preamble '\pdfinclusioncopyfonts=1' in your call to pdfjam.
- In Cygwin, using pdfjam in a pipeline does not seem to work. Scripts like pdfjam-pocketmod, which use pipelines, therefore do not work there. The problem seems to be with Cygwin's handling of file descriptors within pipelines.
Solving these problems is on the to-do list: if you have solved one of them already please let me know!
Version history
2.08: fixed a bug in one of the tests [2010-11-14]
2.07: two other common graphics formats (JPG and PNG) are now explicitly allowed as input files (i.e., not only PDF files are allowed as inputs). [2010-11-13]
2.06: changed the pdfbook script to include --booklet true as the default behaviour (thanks to Julien Bossert for this good suggestion). [2010-05-11]
2.05: changes to the pdfbook script [the --right-edge-binding option is now redundant, and there's a new --short-edge option for binding along the short edge of pages instead of the long edge (thanks to Marco Pessotto for this)]. The --preamble option to pdfjam is enhanced, to allow multiple instances which get concatenated. Also various minor corrections to man pages. [2010-04-25]
2.04: various minor improvements suggested by Debian maintainers (thanks to Eduard Bloch for these). The main things are: addition of the --version option; liberalisation of pdfjam to allow files in JPEG format to be specified as input, as well as PDF (I don't know why or if this might work! but some people have said it does); tidying of the man files; and more use of exec, to avoid forking. [2010-04-22]
2.03: fixed a bug which caused problems when your /bin/sh is the zsh shell; fixed a bug which prevented the correct representation of many UTF-8 characters in pdfinfo data. [2010-04-20]
2.02: more progress on portability; introduced the beginnings of a suite of tests; improvements in the --keepinfo functionality, and in the treatment of file permissions (thanks to Marco Pessotto for these). [2010-04-14]
2.01: fixed a silly bug (thoughtless use of "test -a" in a couple of places) which seriously affected portability. [2010-04-13]
2.00: a major re-design. This is not completely backward-compatible with previous versions of the pdfnup, pdfjoin and pdf90 scripts. The differences in interface are few, though, and the main ones are listed below.
The main changes are:
- The new script pdfjam now does all the work; all the other scripts included with the package are just simple wrappers for pdfjam.
- pdfjam makes available essentially all of the facilities of the pdfpages package (without having to know what they are).
- Various security and portability issues have been resolved. (None of the scripts now calls for /bin/bash; and the handling of temporary files is now much safer.)
- pdfjam can take PDF input from /dev/stdin, and send output to /dev/stdout. (This allows pdfjam to be used in a pipeline.)
- If the --outfile option specifies a relative path, that path is now relative to the current working directory (as is normally expected of unix utilities). This is different behaviour from previous versions.
- With multiple input files, pdfjam offers two distinct methods of processing. The default is to take pages as specified from the input files, and combine them into a single document. If the --batch option is used, pdfjam operates separately on the input files, producing one output file per input file. This is different behaviour from previous versions.
- Page selection is available separately for each input file. A difference from previous versions is that the --pages keyword is no longer used.
- pdfjam uses the \includepdfmerge command from pdfpages, as a result of which all pages in an output file have the same size and orientation. This is different behaviour from previous versions.
- Output page orientation is now controlled by using --landscape (negated, if necessary, by --no-landscape). The previous --orient option is no longer used, and in particular "--orient auto" is no longer available. This is different behaviour from previous versions.
- Other new features include:
- --keepinfo option, to allow preservation of PDF document information, if the pdfinfo utility and the LaTeX hyperref package are available (thanks to Robert Wenner for suggesting this);
- --pdftitle, --pdfauthor, --pdfsubject and --pdfkeywords options, to specify new PDF document information (these require the LaTeX hyperref package);
- many more "named" output page sizes are available if the LaTeX geometry package is installed (the full list of allowed paper specifications is: a0paper, a1paper, a2paper, a3paper, a4paper, a5paper, a6paper b0paper, b1paper, b2paper, b3paper, b4paper, b5paper, b6paper letterpaper, executivepaper, legalpaper; thanks to Corné Verbruggen and Mel Irizarry for suggesting this) and non-standard page sizes can also be defined;
- --checkfiles option to request that input files be checked using the file utility, rather than requiring the file name to end in ".pdf" or ".PDF";
- --twoside option, to allow the LaTeX twoside class option to be specified (thanks to Johannes Reinhard for suggesting this);
- --pagecolor option, to allow the background colour of output pages to be changed (thanks to James Fisher for suggesting this);
- --vanilla option to run pdfjam without reading site-wide or user configuration files.
In addition, various reported bugs have been fixed — many thanks to all those kind people who reported them (too numerous to list here!) [2010-03-14]
1.21: bug fixes, including security issues (many thanks to Eduard Bloch, Robert Buchholz and Martin Vaeth for helpful reports on vulnerabilities and for kindly contributing patches); the scripts now call for /bin/bash as interpreter; availability of mktemp is now also assumed; the Mac OS X droplets now look for pdflatex at (by default) /usr/texbin/pdflatex [2009-01-19]
1.20: added minimal man pages; added extra possible locations for the site-wide configuration file [2005-01-25]
1.11: added the --scale option to pdfnup, which allows page margins either to be enlarged (e.g,. --scale 0.9) or reduced (e.g,. --scale 1.1) by scaling the page contents. By popular request! [2004-10-13]
1.10: output files now appear by default in same directory as input, rather than in the current working directory; fixed a bug that caused the scripts not to work on some versions of Solaris (thanks to Daniel Gebhart); major improvements to the Mac OS X sample droplets. [2004-06-24]
1.03: minor changes towards POSIX compliance. [2004-05-09]
1.02: added a COPYING file to the package. [2004-05-08]
1.00: package re-named PDFjam. [2004-05-07]
0.99a: a minor change to the output of pdfnup --help and pdfjoin --help [2004-05-06]
0.99: various improvements to pdfnup, including the handling of multiple PDF input files. Added pdfjoin and pdf90. [2004-05-05]
0.97: corrections to the output of pdfnup --help [2004-04-23]
0.96: minor changes to comments in the pdfnup script [2004-02-12]

Women's Health necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 319 diseños de 77 diseñadores freelance.
Breastfeeding Friendly Workplaces
We are a small community organisation which provides health advocacy for women. We have expertise and resources in supporting breastfeeding and have developed a professional standard and accreditation process for organisations wanting to be recognised as a Breastfeeding Friendly Workplace (BFW). This is one of many iniitalives that organisations can take to promote family friendly policies and retain skilled and trained women employees. It complements various anti-discrimination and industrial relations laws. We will be developing a website, brochures and stiatonery on which the logo and brand image will be used.
We want employers to seek accreditation with us and will initially be targetting large corporations; telecommunications, financial and legal sectors as well multi-national organisations and universities. The target audience will primarily be Human Resource Managers, Health & Safety Managers and senior women staff, but the brand must also appeal to senior male executives.
* Something that is professional and corporate although with a bit of an edge would be OK.
* "Understated elegance" comes to mind
* We have no colour requirements but the design should be easily photocopied
* Include the words: Breastfeeding Friendly Workplaces
* If graphic representation of breastfeeding is used it should include representation of the mother's head as well as her breast
* We want instant brand recognition

If you're like me, you can't wait for the email or phone call telling you that the package you ordered online has shipped. Whether you purchased a new apparel item for yourself, a gift for a friend, or even just your schoolbooks, it's exciting to get home after a long day and find a package waiting on your doorstep.
On the flip side, there's nothing worse than arriving home and – instead of seeing your goods – finding a note stuck to the door alerting you that no one was home to sign for the package and thus it could not be delivered. Well, not anymore!

Saturday night May 25
Opening response and confession of sin
The Lord almighty grant us a quiet night and a perfect end.
Our help is in the name of the Lord
who made heaven and earth.
A period of silence may be kept for reflection on the past day.
Most merciful God,
we confess to you,
before the whole company of heaven and one another,
that we have sinned in thought, word and deed
and in what we have failed to do.
Forgive us our sins,
heal us by your Spirit
and raise us to new life in Christ. Amen.
Favor us, Lord, and deliver us.
Lord, come quickly and help us.
Glory to the Father and to the Son
and to the Holy Spirit;
as it was in the beginning is now
and shall be for ever. Amen.
Infinite God, To Thee We Raise
Charles Wesley
Infinite God, to thee we raise
Our hearts in solemn songs of praise,
By all thy works on earth adored,
We worship thee, the common Lord;
The everlasting Father own,
And bow our souls before thy throne.
Thee all the choir of angels sings,
The Lord of hosts, the King of kings;
Cherubs proclaim thy praise aloud,
And seraphs shout the triune God;
And, holy, holy, holy, cry,
Thy glory fills both earth and sky!
Head of the martyrs' noble host,
Of thee they justly make their boast;
The church, to earth's remotest bounds,
Her heavenly Founder's praise resounds;
And strives, with those around the throne,
To hymn the mystic three in one.
Father of endless majesty,
All might and love they render thee;
Thy true and only Son adore,
The same in dignity and power;
And God the Holy Ghost declare,
The saints' eternal Comforter.
The Word of God
Psalm 104
I will sing to the Lord as long as I live.
Let my whole being bless the Lord!
Lord my God, how fantastic you are!
You are clothed in glory and grandeur!
You wear light like a robe;
you open the skies like a curtain.
You build your lofty house on the waters;
you make the clouds your chariot,
going around on the wings of the wind.
You make the winds your messengers;
you make fire and flame your ministers.
You established the earth on its foundations
so that it will never ever fall.
You covered it with the watery deep like a piece of clothing;
the waters were higher than the mountains!
But at your rebuke they ran away;
they fled in fear at the sound of your thunder.
They flowed over the mountains,
streaming down the valleys
to the place you established for them.
You set a boundary they cannot cross
so they'll never again cover the earth.
You put gushing springs into dry riverbeds.
They flow between the mountains,
providing water for every wild animal—
the wild donkeys quench their thirst.
Overhead, the birds in the sky make their home,
chirping loudly in the trees.
From your lofty house, you water the mountains.
The earth is filled full by the fruit of what you've done.
You make grass grow for cattle;
you make plants for human farming
in order to get food from the ground,
and wine, which cheers people's hearts,
along with oil, which makes the face shine,
and bread, which sustains the human heart.
The Lord's trees are well watered—
the cedars of Lebanon, which God planted,
where the birds make their nests,
where the stork has a home in the cypresses.
The high mountains belong to the mountain goats;
the ridges are the refuge of badgers.
God made the moon for the seasons,
and the sun too, which knows when to set.
You bring on the darkness and it is night,
when every forest animal prowls.
The young lions roar for their prey,
seeking their food from God.
When the sun rises, they gather together
and lie down in their dens.
Then people go off to their work,
to do their work until evening.
Lord, you have done so many things!
You made them all so wisely!
The earth is full of your creations!
And then there's the sea, wide and deep,
with its countless creatures—
living things both small and large.
There go the ships on it,
and Leviathan, which you made, plays in it!
All your creations wait for you
to give them their food on time.
When you give it to them, they gather it up;
when you open your hand, they are filled completely full!
But when you hide your face, they are terrified;
when you take away their breath,
they die and return to dust.
When you let loose your breath, they are created,
and you make the surface of the ground brand-new again.
Let the Lord's glory last forever!
Let the Lord rejoice in all he has made!
He has only to look at the earth, and it shakes.
God just touches the mountains, and they erupt in smoke.
I will sing to the Lord as long as I live;
I will sing praises to my God while I'm still alive.
Let my praise be pleasing to him;
I'm rejoicing in the Lord!
Let sinners be wiped clean from the earth;
let the wicked be no more.
But let my whole being bless the Lord!
Praise the Lord!
Glory to the Father and to the Son
and to the Holy Spirit;
as it was in the beginning is now
and will be forever. Amen.
I will sing to the Lord as long as I live.
Psalm prayer
Creator God,
send your Holy Spirit to renew this living world,
that the whole creation,
in its groaning and striving,
may know your loving purpose
and come to reflect your glory;
in Jesus Christ our Lord.
Scripture reading
Revelation 22:4-5
They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads. Night will be no more. They won't need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, for the Lord God will shine on them, and they will rule forever and always.
Lord, I entrust my spirit into your hands.
Lord, I entrust my spirit into your hands.
For you, Lord, God of faithfulness—
you have saved me.
I entrust my spirit into your hands.
Glory to the Father and to the Son
and to the Holy Spirit.
Lord, I entrust my spirit into your hands.
Watch me with the very pupil of your eye!
Hide me in the protection of your wings.
Silence may be kept.
Gospel canticle
The Nunc Dimittis (Song of Simeon)
Save us, O Lord, while waking, and guard us while sleeping, that awake we may watch with Christ and asleep may rest in peace. Alleluia.
Now, master, let your servant go in peace according to your word,
because my eyes have seen your salvation.
You prepared this salvation in the presence of all peoples.
It's a light for revelation to the Gentiles
and a glory for your people Israel.
Luke 2:29-32
Glory to the Father and to the Son
and to the Holy Spirit;
as it was in the beginning is now
and will be forever. Amen.
Save us, O Lord, while waking, and guard us while sleeping, that awake we may watch with Christ and asleep may rest in peace. Alleluia.
Brief silence.
Thanksgiving and intercession
Open prayer is offered.
Silence may be kept.
Almighty God,
by triumphing over the powers of darkness
Christ has prepared a place for us in the new Jerusalem:
may we, who have this day given thanks for his resurrection,
praise him in the eternal city
of which he is the light;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
We will lie down and fall asleep in peace
because you alone, Lord, let us live in safety.
Abide with us, Lord Jesus,
for the night is at hand and the day is now past.
As the night watch looks for the morning,
so do we look for you, O Christ.
May the risen Lord Jesus bless us.
May he watch over us and renew us
as he renews the whole of creation.
May our hearts and lives echo his love.

One of the skill, I mastered before Cooking is Baking! Even though, in India, it is not a necessity that one will own an oven in every home! My mom owned a free white gas range with four burners and huge oven (that was her favorite appliance she brought with her when she moved to India) that is another story the oven has never been tested for any baking goods. She kept to store all her sharp knives and items! She used only the stovetop and the oven was just an antique dark piece.
After many years of good use, we just threw away the rusted huge piece! When the oven was in our kitchen, I never thought of baking, probably I was too young! But when I was teen, I tried to attempt to bake a cake.
Without an oven, measuring cups, even without a baking pan, I don't know how I got that idea & wanted to give a try for a plain vanilla cake, which I found pretty easy to assemble. The first move is to approach my opposite baker, if he could kindly bake my small cake, which was my brother's job. Next for baking pan, I got the pressure cooker aluminium round pan (which we cook dhal and rice-now they give a stain steel)! For the ingredients, again my brother manages to get all equal amount with the local merchant: White butter, maida, sugar and egg.
One Sunday afternoon, I mixed the butter, sugar and egg in the blender jar (mixie), folded the flour with the spoon! I did everything under 15 minutes and my brother ran to the opposite bakery with the pan. I was little tense not for the outcome of my cake, worrying what the baker would think seeing my cake, laugh, tease? But after 30 minutes, the guy shouted : hey ur cake is ready! My brother flew to pick it up. My cake came back and it was my first success for a delicious attempt! Everyone appreciated the taste of the plain cake which turn out like a store bought. But my parents were not so happy that I disturb the friendly baker every Sunday. So I stopped baking until my dad gifted me a brand new Toaster oven for one of my X-teen birthday gift! Still the oven is living in my house, loaded with my memories.
This plain vanilla cake recipe date almost more than 15 years! The cake is still appreciated in my family. I was much moved when my grand-ma said: I never liked a cake but ur cake tastes just extra-ordinary :) So whenever I bake one a huge sliced is shared to my granny, whenever I go India this cake is a top priority in my kitchen.
I am dedicating my first cake recipe for my granny who is sick and stays in bed from the past one year! My uncle doesn't need to e-mail me for this recipe to please his mom!
Note: the recipe is very easy simple rule: for every 50 gm of flour/sugar/butter add one egg +baking soda, powder and salt. The original recipe was in gram and I converted in cup!
Baking time: 30- 40 min
Preparing the cake: 10 min (exclude the mess u do in ur kitchen and washing ur dish)
Yield: 2 small loaf tins or one small loaf tin and 9 medium muffins
All purpose flour: 2 cups
Sugar: 1 cup + ¼ cup
Egg: 5 num (room temperature)
Unsalted Butter: 2 sticks at room temperature(1 stick = 113 gm)
Salt: ¼ tsp
Baking soda: ½ tsp
Baking powder: 1 tsp
Vanilla essence: 2 tsp
How to bake?
1.Preheat the oven for 350 F. Grease a big loaf tin or two small tins.
2. Beat sugar, soften butter, egg and vanilla essence together until smooth
3. Sieve the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
4. Sprinkle little by little the flour into the buttery smooth mixture
5.Fold the flour mixture into the buttery mixture with a spatula or if you are using a beater in slow mode (1 or 2).
6. Scoop in a greased loaf tin or pan and tap the tin slightly (release some air bubble) before placing in oven.
7. Bake for 30 or 35 minutes.
Important tips for Baking beginner:
Before starting to bake, preheat the oven and next mix the cake.
Never open the oven door once u placed the cake for baking, use the pilot light of the oven to check.
When you fold the flour into mixture do it in clockwise! The cake will be airy!
To check if it is done:Insert a knife in middle of the crack, it should come out clean after 30 minutes. U can increase 10 minutes at the time, if not.
If it is not silicone, grease generously the pan and use a wax paper.
Some people are frustrated when it comes to baking: If you are a person who follows each and every single measurement (like you do in Chemistry class) you will never fail in baking! Just follow blindly the recipe and measurements; it is not like cooking little bit of this and that…
Verdict: It is less rich than pound cake.
I baked in small loaf tin and made some cupcakes with different toppings.
I am sending this cake for baking for beginner hosted by Vandana , hoping some new baker will benefit!
And this cake is Just for You: sending to Alka's event.

The Friendly Computer Guy
I live and work in a rural community where people pretty much all know each other. Many (many) of my customers have stated that their last computer guy was too abrupt, just doing the job and out the door.
People like the way I do my job. They feel at ease around me as I work in their home and they like the way I explain the problem they're having and what we're going to do to solve it. They want to give my phone number to their friends and family, because let's face it, if you have a computer then you have computer problems.
I need a logo to put on my business card so that when people pull it out to give to their mother they instantly remember what a great computer guy I am, and the mother gets that vibe too.
- Vector format- Professional but not stuffy- Friendly but not too casual- Feels good- The words "The Friendly Computer Guy" (I am flexible on capitalization)
- Nothing racy ;)

ITHACA, NY — Journalist Sharif Abdel Kouddous and Center for Media and Democracy executive director Lisa Graves will discuss the importance of independent media as watchdogs on the powerful on Tuesday, April 10, at Ithaca College. Free and open to the public, their presentation will take place at 7:30 p.m. in Emerson Suites, Phillips Hall.
Kouddous and the Center for Media and Democracy (CMD) are sharing the fourth annual Izzy Award for outstanding achievement in independent media, presented by the Park Center for Independent Media. The award is named after the late I.F. "Izzy" Stone, who used his muckraking newsletter "I.F. Stone's Weekly" to expose government deceit and corruption while championing civil liberties, racial justice and international diplomacy.
Born in the United States and raised in Egypt, Kouddous covered the 18-day Tahrir Square uprising of Egyptians against dictatorship and the upheaval that followed as a correspondent and senior producer for "Democracy Now!" His reporting was the primary source for the HBO documentary "In Tahrir Square" and his analysis from Egypt has been widely posted in other media outlets, including "The Nation," "Foreign Policy," "Egypt Independent" and the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting.
The CMD is being honored for its investigative work on "ALEC Exposed," which probed the American Legislative Exchange Council, a corporate-funded organization that has promoted a wish list of pro-corporate legislation into law in state after state and in Congress. CMD made its investigation public last July in collaboration with "The Nation," and the exposé sparked months of news coverage in mainstream and independent outlets. The publisher of PRWatch, SourceWatch and BanksterUSA, the center has been doing investigative reporting since 1993, with a special focus on corporate and government propaganda.
Based in the Roy H. Park School of Communications at Ithaca College, the Park Center for Independent Media (PCIM) was launched in 2008 as a national center for the study of media outlets that create and distribute content outside traditional corporate systems.
The previous winners of the Izzy Award are author/columnist Robert Scheer, New York's in-depth outlet "City Limits," investigative journalist Jeremy Scahill, blogger Glenn Greenwald and "Democracy Now!" host/executive producer Amy Goodman.

Daily Knicks Picks: Media Round-up 7/27/10
: Uncategorized : Written by John Kenney : 07-27-2010
Scott Cacciola of the Wall Street Journal on Anthony Randolph: Long, Lean, Unlimited. "How about his two violent dunks over the Houston Rockets' Yao Ming during his rookie season? Or his epic two-handed block on a breakaway by Los Angeles Lakers superstar Kobe Bryant? These are the sorts of plays—flashes of brilliance, really—where Mr. Randolph unfolds his 6-foot-11 frame and hints at what he might be, could be, should be." And Randolph says there will be no more excuses, writes Tim Bontemps of the NY Post. "'It's all on me right now,' Randolph said yesterday at the Knicks' Summer Basketball …continue reading

Edna Adan is one of the heroic women I learned about courtesy of the Half the Sky series. She built and runs a hospital in Somalia. A Safe World for Women gives us her statement on Female Genital Mutilation.
As a midwife, I have been delivering babies for 50 years, many of whom were being born to women who had undergone FGM. Witnessing the FGM-associated complications that many were suffering caused me to speak out against it in public in 1976 which at that time shocked my family and my people.
37 years later, and after so many resolutions have been passed to eradicate the practice, we sadly found that 97% of our women still suffered FGM as shown in the survey carried out on 4000 women at the Edna Adan Hospital between 2002 to 2006.
We are still looking for resources to study the prevalence of FGM and hope that the next survey/audit will reveal a reduction of FGM in our women, particularly after all the campaigns that we have held over the years.
It also posts background information via the hospital website.
In March 1977, during the formation of the Somali Women's Democratic Organization (SWDO), Edna Adan Ismail was the first Somali person to publicly denounce FGM and pioneered the campaign for its eradication in Somalia and in Somaliland.
From that time she has campaigned against FGM at many important occasions, including during the WHO Seminar in Khartoum in 1979 on the Mental and Physical Complications of FGM; in 1980 during the Mid-Decade Conference for women in Copenhagen; in Lusaka in the same year; In Dakar in 1984 when she co-founded and was elected the Vice-President of the Inter-African Committee on Traditional Practices Affecting the Health of Women and Children; In 1986 in EMRO Egypt; 1987 in Addis Ababa and the lobbying of the Organization of African Unity. During the Beijing Women's Conference in 1995 and between 1988 and 1997 when she tirelessly along with international colleagues, lobbied WHO/UNICEF and every Human Rights Organization.
One of the heroic women.

"Access Care" or "Access Care Senior Management"
We're a southern California company, in business for over 15 years. We provide non-medical senior health care services: private, non-medical in-home senior care, senior transportation to and from medical appointments and hospitals, and assistance with nursing home/senior home placement.
Our logo is 15 years old - and needs to be updated! Bring us into today's market, help us compete.
Our company was founded on the inherent nature and cultural influences of the Founder/President - a zippy, highly energetic, highly philanthropic, always willing to help, 4'11" Filipino woman, who believes in respecting and valuing family and taking care of those who once took care of us. She began her company because she noticed there was a lack of adequate care for the aging members of the community. From that desire to care for people, came a company that began as a simple private home care agency that developed into a multi-faceted corporation that works to deliver on all the needs of those that are in the twilight of their life - all the while, respecting what they've done for the generations after them. She believes our elders lay the foundation for the generations that follow - and they deserve to be repaid when they need it most - when they have trouble caring or can no longer care for themselves.
Seniors/Elderly, age 60+, Family Members of Seniors, age 40+
Medical Community: Doctors, Nurses, Case Managers, Hospitals, Senior Living Facilities, etc.
We want a logo that's like our President - a LOT packed into a little package! Think of feelings like: "nurture", "caring", "safe", "reliable".
Our new approach is to highlight where we came from.
Our Slogan is: "A Culture of Caring".
We'd like to see a variety of logos with the company name spelled out ("Access Care") as well as just the initials ("AC") while also incorporating the wreath image, all with or without the slogan (your choice). We don't want to lose the wreath image as we've used it for so long, we'd just like to see it updated/modernized.
We want ORIGNAL design submissions. PLEASE, since it's not a blind contest, use the other designs as INSPIRATION only, not the basis of your work. Please don't submit a variation of someone else's design. That doesn't help. We want you to be creative.
OH - and we like the color navy.
Requested Files: Illustrator and/or photoshop file, vector image of logo.
(Our apologies, we don't have any other image of the wreath. Like we said, it was created 15 years ago!)
