FORT HOOD, Texas - The Army psychiatrist charged in the Fort Hood shooting rampage still faces the death penalty if convicted in the worst mass shooting on a U.S. military installation, a judge ruled Wednesday.
The judge, Col. Tara Osborn, was expected to rule later on Maj. Nidal Hasan's request to plead guilty to 13 counts of premeditated murder in the 2009 attack on the Texas Army post. However, Army rules prohibit a judge from accepting a guilty plea in a death penalty case, so her earlier ruling Wednesday indicates he would not be allowed to plead guilty as long as that punishment option remains on the table.
Defense attorneys argued that Hasan should be spared a possible death sentence because the military justice system's process for deciding capital cases is inconsistent. They also claim Fort Hood's commanding general was not impartial when he decided in July 2011 that Hasan would face the death penalty and had been influenced by high-ranking government officials.
Hasan, 42, paralyzed from the waist down after being shot by police the day of the rampage, sat in a wheelchair next to his attorneys with a thick black beard during the first of three scheduled days of pretrial proceedings.
The American-born Muslim also is charged with 32 counts of attempted premeditated murder. He faces execution or life in military prison without parole if convicted. A trial date has not been set.
Witnesses have said that a gunman wearing an Army combat uniform opened fire after shouting "Allahu Akbar!" - or "God is great!" in Arabic - inside a crowded medical building on Nov. 5, 2009, where deploying and returning soldiers received vaccines and other tests. Hasan was also about to deploy to Afghanistan.
Hasan's trial was to start in August but was put on hold when he appealed the former judge's order saying his beard would be forcibly shaved before the court-martial unless he shaved it. Although facial hair violates Army rules, Hasan first showed up in court in June with a beard, later saying it was required by his Muslim faith.
After a few rounds of appeals, the military's highest appeals court in December tossed out the judge's order and removed him from the case, saying that he appeared to show bias against Hasan in some instances. Osborn then was appointed to oversee the case.
In December, during Osborn's first pretrial hearing in the case, she told Hasan that she won't hold the beard against him but that military jurors might. Jurors likely would be told not to consider Hasan's appearance when deciding on a verdict.
Osborn also ruled Wednesday that she doesn't have the authority to rule on whether the previous judge's orders for Hasan to shave violate his religious freedom. The military appeals court's December ruling did not address that issue. That means Osborn won't order Hasan to shave.
She denied Hasan's request to stop his chain of command from ordering him to shave, although it's unclear if that has happened.

Discourse on the Method
The Discourse on the Method (French: Discours de la méthode) is a philosophical and autobiographical treatise published by René Descartes in 1637. Its full name is Discourse on the Method of Rightly Conducting One's Reason and of Seeking Truth in the Sciences (French title: Discours de la méthode pour bien conduire sa raison, et chercher la vérité dans les sciences). The Discourse on The Method is best known as the source of the famous quotation "Je pense, donc je suis" ("I think, therefore I am", "I'm thinking, so I exist", which occurs in Part IV of the work. (The similar statement in Latin, Cogito ergo sum, is found in Part I, §7 of Principles of Philosophy.)
The Discourse on the Method is one of the most influential works in the history of modern philosophy, and important to the development of natural sciences. In this work, Descartes tackles the problem of skepticism, which had previously been studied by Sextus Empiricus, Al-Ghazali[1] and Michel de Montaigne. Descartes modified it to account for a truth he found to be incontrovertible. Descartes started his line of reasoning by doubting everything, so as to assess the world from a fresh perspective, clear of any preconceived notions.
The book was originally published in Leiden in the Netherlands. Later, it was translated into Latin and published in 1656 in Amsterdam. The book was intended as an introduction to three works Dioptrique, Météores and Géométrie. La Géométrie contains Descartes' first introduction of the Cartesian coordinate system. That the text was written and published in French rather than Latin, which was the language in which philosophical and scientific texts were most frequently written and published (as were most of Descartes' other works), is worth noting.
Together with Meditations on First Philosophy (Meditationes de Prima Philosophia), Principles of Philosophy (Principia philosophiae) and Rules for the Direction of the Mind (Regulae ad directionem ingenii), it forms the base of the epistemology known as Cartesianism.

- What the Author believes to be required in order to greater advancement in the investigation of Nature than has yet been made, with the reasons that have induced him to write
Part I: Various considerations touching the Sciences
Descartes begins by allowing himself some wit:
Good sense is, of all things among men, the most equally distributed; for every one thinks himself so abundantly provided with it, that those even who are the most difficult to satisfy in everything else, do not usually desire a larger measure of this quality than they already possess.
A similar observation can be found in Hobbes: "But this proveth rather that men are in that point equal, than unequal. For there is not ordinarily a greater sign of the equal distribution of anything than that every man is contented with his share.",[2] but also in Montaigne, whose formulation indicates that it was a common place at the time: "Tis commonly said that the justest portion Nature has given us of her favors is that of sense; for there is no one who is not contented with his share.".[3][4] Descartes continues with a warning:
For to be possessed of a vigorous mind is not enough; the prime requisite is rightly to apply it. The greatest minds, as they are capable of the highest excellences, are open likewise to the greatest aberrations; and those who travel very slowly may yet make far greater progress, provided they keep always to the straight road, than those who, while they run, forsake it.[5]
Descartes describes his disappointment with his education: as soon as I had finished the entire course of study... I found myself involved in so many doubts and errors, that I was convinced I had advanced no farther... than the discovery at every turn of my own ignorance.. He notes his special delight with mathematics, and contrasts its strong foundations to the disquisitions of the ancient moralists [which are] towering and magnificent palaces with no better foundation than sand and mud.
Part II: The principal rules of the Method which the Author has discovered
Descartes was in Germany, attracted thither by the wars in that country, and describes his intent by a "building metaphor". He observes that buildings, cities or nations that have been planned by a single hand are more elegant and commodious than those that have grown organically. He resolves not to build on old foundations, or to lean upon principles which, in his youth, he had taken upon trust.
Descartes seeks to ascertain the true method by which to arrive at the knowledge of whatever lay within the compass of his powers; he presents four precepts:
"The first was never to accept anything for true which I did not clearly know to be such; that is to say, carefully to avoid precipitancy and prejudice, and to comprise nothing more in my judgment than what was presented to my mind so clearly and distinctly as to exclude all ground of doubt.
The second, to divide each of the difficulties under examination into as many parts as possible, and as might be necessary for its adequate solution.
The third, to conduct my thoughts in such order that, by commencing with objects the simplest and easiest to know, I might ascend by little and little, and, as it were, step by step, to the knowledge of the more complex; assigning in thought a certain order even to those objects which in their own nature do not stand in a relation of antecedence and sequence.
And the last, in every case to make enumerations so complete, and reviews so general, that I might be assured that nothing was omitted."
Part III: Morals and Maxims accepted while conducting the Method
Descartes uses the analogy of rebuilding a house from secure foundations, and extends the analogy to the idea of needing a temporary abode while his own house is being rebuilt. The following three maxims were adopted by Descartes so that he could effectively function in the "real world" while experimenting with his method of radical doubt. They formed a rudimentary belief system from which to act before he developed a new system based on the truths he discovered using his method.
- The first was to obey the laws and customs of my country, adhering firmly to the faith in which, by the grace of God, I had been educated from my childhood and regulating my conduct in every other matter according to the most moderate opinions, and the farthest removed from extremes, which should happen to be adopted in practice with general consent of the most judicious of those among whom I might be living.
- Be as firm and resolute in my actions as I was able.
- Endeavor always to conquer myself rather than fortune, and change my desires rather than the order of the world, and in general, accustom myself to the persuasion that, except our own thoughts, there is nothing absolutely in our power; so that when we have done our best in things external to us, our ill-success cannot possibly be failure on our part.
Part IV: Proof of God and the Soul
Applying the method to itself, Descartes challenges his own reasoning and reason itself. But Descartes believes three things are not susceptible to doubt and the three support each other to form a stable foundation for the method. He cannot doubt that something has to be there to do the doubting (I think, therefore I am). The method of doubt cannot doubt reason as it is based on reason itself. By reason there exists a God, and God is the guarantor that reason is not misguided.
Perhaps the most strained part of the argument is the reasoned proof of the existence of God, and indeed Descartes seems to realize this as he supplies three different "proofs" including what is now referred to as the negotiable ontological proof of the existence of God.
Part V: Physics, the heart, and the soul of man and animals
Here he describes how in other writings he discusses the idea of laws of nature, of the sun and stars, the idea of the moon being the cause of ebb and flow, on gravitation, and going on to discuss light and fire.
Describing his work on light, he states that he
expounded at considerable length what the nature of that light must be which is found in the sun and the stars, and how thence in an instant of time it traverses the immense spaces of the heavens.
His work on such physico-mechanical laws is, however, projected into a "new world." A theoretical place God created "somewhere in the imaginary spaces [with] matter sufficient to compose . . . [a "new world" in which He] . . . agitate[d] variously and confusedly the different parts of this matter, so that there resulted a chaos as disordered as the poets ever feigned, and after that did nothing more than lend his ordinary concurrence to nature, and allow her to act in accordance with the laws which he had established." He does this "to express my judgment regarding . . . [his subjects] with greater freedom, without being necessitated to adopt or refute the opinions of the learned." Descartes goes on to say that he "was not, however, disposed, from these circumstances, to conclude that this world had been created in the manner I described; for it is much more likely that God made it at the first such as it was to be." Despite this admission, it seems that Descartes' project for understanding the world was that of re-creating creation—a cosmological project which aimed, through Descartes' particular brand of experimental method, to show not merely the possibility of such a system, but to suggest that this way of looking at the world—one with (as Descartes saw it) no assumptions about God or nature—provided the only basis upon which he could see knowledge progressing (as he states in Book II). Thus, in Descartes' work, we can see some of the fundamental assumptions of modern cosmology in evidence—the project of examing the historical construction of the universe through a set of quantitative laws describing interactions which would allow the ordered present to be constructed from a chaotic past.
He goes on to the motion of the blood in the heart and arteries, endorsing the findings of William Harvey though not by name, ascribing them to "a physician of England," but ascribing the motive power of the circulation to heat rather than muscle power. He describes that these motions seem to be totally independent of what we think, and concludes that our bodies are separate from our souls.
He does not seem to distinguish between mind, spirit and soul, which are identified as our faculty for rational thinking. Hence the term "I think, therefore I am." All three of these words (particularly "mind" and "soul") can be identified by the single French term "âme."
Part VI
Descartes begins by noting, without directly referring to it, the recent trial of Galileo for heresy and the condemnation of heliocentrism; he explains that for these reasons he has been slow to publish.[6]
"I remarked, moreover, with respect to experiments, that they become always more necessary the more one is advanced in knowledge; for, at the commencement, it is better to make use only of what is spontaneously presented to our senses."
"First, I have essayed to find in general the principles, or first causes of all that is or can be in the world."
Secure on these foundation stones, Descartes shows the practical application of "The Method" in Mathematics and the Science.
Influencing future science
The most important influence, however, was the first precept, which states, in Descartes words, "never to accept anything for true which I did not clearly know to be such."
This method of pro-foundational skepticism is considered by some to be the start of modern philosophy.
- "I know how very liable we are to delusion in what relates to ourselves; and also how much the judgments of our friends are to be suspected when given in our favor."
- "Of philosophy I will say nothing, except that when I saw that it had been cultivated for so many ages by the most distinguished men; and that yet there is not a single matter within its sphere which is still not in dispute and nothing, therefore, which is above doubt, I did not presume to anticipate that my success would be greater in it than that of others."
- "...And although my speculations greatly please myself, I believe that others have theirs, which perhaps please them still more."
- "...In what regards manners, everyone is so full of his own wisdom, that there might be as many reformers as heads...."
- "The first was to include nothing in my judgments than what presented itself to my mind so clearly and distinctly that I had no occasion to doubt it."
- "...I entirely abandoned the study of letters, and resolved no longer to seek any other science than the knowledge of myself, or of the great book of the world...."
- "The most widely shared thing in the world is good sense, for everyone thinks he is so well provided with it that even those who are the most difficult to satisfy in everything else do not usually desire to have more good sense than they have...."

- ^ Three years have now elapsed since I finished the treatise containing all these matters; and I was beginning to revise it, with the view to put it into the hands of a printer, when I learned that persons to whom I greatly defer, and whose authority over my actions is hardly less influential than is my own reason over my thoughts, had condemned a certain doctrine in physics, published a short time previously by another individual to which I will not say that I adhered, but only that, previously to their censure I had observed in it nothing which I could imagine to be prejudicial either to religion or to the state, and nothing therefore which would have prevented me from giving expression to it in writing, if reason had persuaded me of its truth; and this led me to fear lest among my own doctrines likewise some one might be found in which I had departed from the truth, notwithstanding the great care I have always taken not to accord belief to new opinions of which I had not the most certain demonstrations, and not to give expression to aught that might tend to the hurt of any one. This has been sufficient to make me alter my purpose of publishing them; for although the reasons by which I had been induced to take this resolution were very strong, yet my inclination, which has always been hostile to writing books, enabled me immediately to discover other considerations sufficient to excuse me for not undertaking the task.

Essay:Campaign to make Conservapedia unusable
From Conservapedia
This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Ed Poor (Talk | contribs) at 08:16, 22 February 2013. It may differ significantly from current revision.
Some contributors, writing as if they really know their subject and are "only trying to help", have rendered a large number of our academic articles unusable by the average, typical reader. They say they are trying to make our work comprehensive; the result is instead to make our work incomprehensible.
Our writing standards require that advanced material be properly labeled; separated from elementary material; and also introduced in ways that less-advanced readers can begin to understand them. They must serve the dual purpose of providing a reference for the advanced reader, but also helping the more typical reader to learn new and harder ideas.

Teixeira increasing rehab activity, but Yanks cautious
TORONTO -- Mark Teixeira, who is recovering from a partially torn tendon in his right wrist, is slowly making strides on his road to recovery.
The first baseman has started taking swings with a light fungo bat, shortly after he incorporated underwater swings in a pool, as he ramps up his rehabilitation process.
Manager Joe Girardi said Teixeira must still exercise caution.
"I think a lot of times these guys think when they come off a brace, and I can tell you I did, too, that they can swing because it feels good," Girardi said.
"It just takes time, that's all."
Girardi said recovering players can be deceived by how good they feel once they start incorporating certain exercises. But he added that swinging a properly weighted bat at the force required in a game situation takes a much different kind of strength.
Meanwhile, the skipper didn't have any new information to pass along regarding Teixeira's fellow injured teammate, Curtis Granderson, but thinks his tremendous shape will help expedite the rehab process once he's cleared to resume baseball activities.
"I don't know that he has to go through a full Spring Training," Girardi said. "We really won't be able to determine how much he needs until he goes and plays some games, because you don't know how his body is going to respond and how he feels in the game."
Granderson and Teixeira combined to hit 67 of New York's Major League-leading 245 home runs last season. The Yankees entered play Friday first in the American League with 22 homers.

South St. Burger Co., Toronto, On
Posted Monday December 7, 2009 9:59AM
Categories: "gourmet" fast food burger, Dave N., South St. Burger Co., Toronto On
Visited: Saturday November 28, 2009 1:30PM
Ordered: Veggie Burger Combo with fries and root beer (x1)
Total Cost: $9.84
Dave N.'s Review
The Experience
My girlfriend Caryl and I decided to eat vegan for the month of November. That means no dairy, no eggs, and certainly no burgers. Or does it?! Veggie and soy burgers were obviously a possibility, but it's pretty hard finding ones that a) are completely vegan, and b) don't taste like a cardboard asshole.
By the end of the month I had eaten one burger at home that was really gross, and I was dying to get out and have something delicious. I found out that South St. Burger Co. — a newish burger chain owned by New York Fries — had a veggie burger, so I gave them a shout via their Twitter account to find out if it was truly vegan. I got a fast, friendly and helpful reply with the information I needed, and made plans with Caryl to eat there (though we did so in different cities).
Now, my vegan diet may not have been as strict as some, and my research into their ingredients was fairly limited. If you are interested in a veggie burger from South Street, I recommend emailing them at email@example.com for a full list of ingredients, to make sure it fits your needs.
So far, my (pre-visit) experience with the company had been super good. I was impressed and happy. Once I got to the clean, modern-looking restaurant, things stayed more or less positive. The ordering procedure is like a Harvey's or Lick's: order your burger, shuffle down the line and, once your burger has been grilled up, order your condiments. The staff were fast and friendly, and the whole thing was efficient.
But I did say "more or less", didn't I? There was something that came close to ruining my whole meal for me: Rush. The restaurant had the radio (Q107 I believe) on really loud. I generally like Q107, but having it on in the restaurant sucks:
- In addition to really loud music, I have to listen to really loud commercials. I've already paid for my meal, I don't want to also have ads drilled into my brain while I'm eating it.
- If terrible, terrible music comes on, like fucking Rush, I can't change the channel. I have to sit and listen to their 14-minute epics about trees, all the while gritting my teeth and wishing that I were deaf. I hate fucking Rush, man.
So yeah, the music situation was not cool. Significant points lost there, but your mileage may vary.
Another problem that I think is actually a bit of a bigger deal: the drink that came with my combo was tiny. The cup itself seemed like a decent size — smaller than I'd like, but decent — but it was packed with ice. Completely full. The amount of actual pre-melting liquid in there was enough to get me through about half my meal, after which I just had to suffer. I know there have been lots of points made about how much pop sizes have grown over the years and how bad it is for you, etc. But I don't care, man. Give me a drink that's big enough that I don't get thirsty while eating. Pop costs practically nothing for these companies; skimping on that is pretty bushleague in my opinion.
A word about the fries: mmmm. I've always loved New York Fries, and having them with a burger was a nice treat.
The Burger
South St.'s veggie burger is actually mostly soy-based. Before going to South St. I was very conscious of the fact that I'd never had a soy burger I've really liked. And… much to my surprise, I found myself really enjoying this burger.
So I can set the flavour-scene a bit: I got my burger on a white bun (you could also get whole wheat if you like), with Dijon mustard, ketchup, lettuce, guacamole, banana peppers, salt and black pepper. There were lots of toppings to choose from, which was nice. There are some sauces (e.g. garlic aioli and I think a Dijon horseradish or something like that) that I'd like to try if I go back.
I must admit, my tastebuds were pretty confused while eating the burger. At no point did I think it was bad. I did, however, have all of the following thoughts (all of which I wrote down, naturally):
- Smells not burgery.
- Tastes good! Not really like a burger, but good!
- OK, it is pretty burgery. Not exactly like meat, but totally decent.
- Nice seasonings. I can't exactly place what it tastes like.
- Maybe it does taste like meat, but not like a burger.
In hindsight, I'd say it was like a comedian doing a funny impression of another comedian. The impression will have some of the same characteristics of the original, some exaggerated and some understated. Though the original is good, the impression is also good, albeit in a different way. That's a bit laboured, but I think you get what I'm trying to say.
All that said, there were aspects of the burger that could have been better. First, the burger seemed a bit small. I'm not sure if this was an illusion caused by a slightly too-large bun, or if it was actually small. I didn't leave hungry, so that's something to consider. Second, the toppings were applied skimpily, especially the guacamole. I'd say for more than half my bites, the toppings were more or less undetectable. The only saving grace is that none of them cost extra, which is nice.
Despite my weird ramblings and those two complaints, the bottom line is that South St. delivered a tasty burger in my hour of need, and I left a happy customer. I have no doubt I will return at some point to try their real burgers out, and maybe even give the veggie burger another go.

Sub-Zero Warms Up to Flexible Fabrication
The 480,000-sq.-ft. Sub-Zero, Inc. appliance-manufacturing facility in Goodyear, AZ, opened in mid-2011 to accommodate the company's growing production demands that had outstripped its two manufacturing plants in Fitchburg, WI. The new plant, with 300 employees working two shifts, houses an array of sheetmetal-fabrication equipment including standalone turret punch presses, laser-cutting machines, a servo-electric automated panel bender and a punch/shear combination machine.
Sub-Zero manufactures modern kitchen appliances using state-of-the-art sheetmetal-fabrication equipment.
Among the products churned out by the plant are its groundbreaking built-in refrigerators, developed some 60 years ago, as well as a full array of domestic cooking appliances including kitchen stoves, cooktops, wall ovens, warming drawers and ventilation equipment.
Punch-Shear Flexibility
Sheetmetal fabrication took a productivity turn for the best when, according to manufacturing engineering technician John Dolinski, Sub-Zero purchased its automated punch-shear combination machine in 2008 (a Shear Genius from Finn Power, now Prima Power North America).
With the Shear Genius integrated punch/right-angle shear combination concept, the objective is to provide one machine capable of transforming a full-sized sheet into punched parts. Sorting and stacking automation then moves the parts to secondary bending operations without being touched by human hands. As loading, punching and shearing of parts became automated at Sub-Zero, the result was finished parts with a dramatic reduction in scrap and manual labor, while increasing profitability.
Sub-Zero also finds that the machine eliminates wasteful skeletons and costly secondary operations such as deburring. And the integrated right-angle shear avoids the nibbled edges on the part exteriors. In fact, the same clamps that hold the sheets for punching also hold them for shearing. The end result is true single-piece flow synchronized with Sub-Zero's cycle times.
"The punch-shear combination machine operates much more quickly and accurately than what we were using before," says Dolinski. "Automation is what really takes fabrication to a new level. The machine also processes longer parts much more efficiently than our old stand-alone turret punch presses."
"We try to run lights-out on a daily basis," adds supervisor Howard Masters. "With the Shear Genius, we no longer need to shear blanks to size. We can nest multiple parts on one sheet, and have eliminated a great deal of material handling."
Servo-Electric Bender
The machine has a maximum bending length of 100 in. and a maximum opening height of 8 in. Actuation of the bending blade (vertical and horizontal) is by NC servo motors, instead of hydraulic cylinders. Upper-tool movement also is driven by an NC servo motor.
"The EBe has been a very dependable machine," says Dolinski. "It just runs and runs. One of our jobs used to require three separate press-brake operations to produce 80 to 100 parts in an 8-hr. shift. With the EBe, we complete the job in just 90 min."
Describing additional benefits of the panel bender, Dolinski explains that while the EBe is used primarily on galvanized parts, it will soon begin to form stainless-steel panels. "On these large stainless panels, we often require two different press-brake operations," says Dolinski. "With the tool change in between operations, it takes an operator as long as 4 hr. to run the parts. We can fabricate the same part in about 1 min. on the panel bender, and setup time is next to nothing. And we also can emboss the panels on the bend line."
One Happy Plant Manager
Sub-Zero plant manager Ron Jones sums up the benefits of the company's recent capital-equipment purchases:
"The punch-shear combo and servo-electric panel bender have allowed Sub-Zero to improve sheetmetal performance in many s," says Jones. "Large parts requiring multiple tooling changeovers for forming have been moved to the panel bender, and are improving productivity by approximately 800 percent, while also improving the ergonomics of forming large parts on traditional press-brake tooling.
"Meanwhile, the punch-shear combination machine provides significant improvements in cutting, punching and palletizing," Jones continues, "work that previously required multiple routings and operations. Overall, our once-complex machine routings and programs have evolved into simple operations that provide significant improvements for running multiple products and operations. As a result, we've improved our speed, accuracy and flexibility."What plant manager wouldn't want to be able to say that? MF

text: Real Estate Gazette: a focus on how demographics dictate investment opportunities Issue 22 Real Estate Gazette Share this 10 Nov 2015 By: Dr. Olaf Schmidt A very warm welcome to Issue 22 of DLA Piper's Real Estate Gazette. It is clear that demographics play a part in dictating which investment opportunities are prominent at any point in time. For example, in France, the rise in student numbers has boosted demand for student accommodation in the country, and this fact, combined with the various advantages enjoyed by this asset class, look set to attract a wide number of investors looking for diversification towards contra-cyclic products. Another demographic often noted is the increased proportion of those aged over 65, estimated to constitute 16.2 per cent of the global population by 2050. This will undoubtedly lead to a higher demand for long term care services. In Italy, the provision of such services is changing with family-run providers being forced out of the market by tighter regulation and new entrants being attracted by the relative stability of cash flows and the profitability of the initiatives. Other developments discussed include the rise of the local accommodation establishment in Portugal; the controversy surrounding art as an asset class in the UK; and the qualification of certain real estate assets for REIT purposes in the US .

Dr. William Schaffner, Vanderbilt University Medical Center, on the unusual form of meningitis caused by a fungus in medication and says if patients have any symptoms they need to get medical care.
Courtesy Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
The fungus aspergillus is suspected in four deaths and 26 cases.
Four people have died and 22 were made sick by meningitis linked to a rare fungal infection blamed on contaminated steroids, health officials said on Wednesday. They are "almost certain" more will be identified before it's over.
The 26 cases include 18 people in Tennessee, one in North Carolina, two in Florida, three in Virginia and two in Maryland, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported. Two of the deaths were in Tennessee, one in Virginia and one in Maryland.
Several of the patients are seriously ill, says Tennessee Department of Health Commissioner Dr. John Dreyzehner. Two clinics have closed voluntarily and a third is no longer giving the injections.
Officials said the chief suspect is contaminated vials of a pain treatment injected directly into the spine. The drug is called methylprednisolone acetate.
"We have notified medical professionals the prime suspect for this outbreak is methylprednisolone," Dreyzehner told reporters in a telephone briefing. He said it was not yet clear how widely the drug was distributed.
Late Wednesday, the Food and Drug Administration confirmed that New England Compounding Center, a Framingham, Mass., compounding pharmacy, on Sept. 26 voluntarily recalled three lots of 80-milligram injection doses of methylprednisolone acetate (PF) produced by the firm. The lots included #05212012@68 with a had beyond use date of Nov. 17, 2012; #06292012@26 with a beyond use date of Dec. 26, 2012; and #08102012@51 with a beyond use date of Feb. 6, 2013. The firm's website was not working on Wednesday evening.
It's not entirely certain the steroid is to blame, said the health department's Dr. Marion Kainer. The health officials, the CDC and the FDA are testing the pain medications and other materials used with the steroid injections, as well as samples from the patients. Patients were also treated with injections of lidocaine and a povidone iodine skin preparation solution, the CDC said.
Meningitis is an inflammation of the spinal cord, usually caused by bacteria or viruses. It can be very serious and is marked by a headache, fever, often a stiff neck and balance problems. Fungi and parasites can also cause this inflammation and in this case the common mold aspergillus is suspected. "The type of meningitis we are dealing with in this situation is not communicable person to person," Dreyzehner said.
The 18 Tennessee cases are associated with Tennessee centers: Saint Thomas Outpatient Neurosurgery Center in Nashville, a center in Crossville, and now a third center in Oak Ridge, the officials said. The cases were all injected from two lots of steroids.
Everyone treated at the centers since July 1 is being cautioned to look for symptoms and to see a doctor immediately if they develop any. More than 700 people were treated, Dreyzehner said. "Everybody who been exposed to the lot numbers that are suspect, the vast majority have not been symptomatic," he said.
The incubation period -- the time between treatment and the first symptoms-- ranges from two days to two months, the officials said. No one treated before July 30 has turned up sick but they said they were checking people back to July 1 out of an abundance of caution. The first 12 patients who were identified range in age from 49 to 89.
The CDC and FDA are testing samples of the drug, which has been recalled nationwide, as well as samples from the patients to be sure it's aspergillus. Aspergillus has not been isolated yet from the steroid.
Aspergillus is tricky to treat. It's an infection that patients with damaged immune systems can get – notably cancer patients and those with HIV infection. It's often found in the lungs because the mold – found in dead leaves and elsewhere -- can be breathed in. An antifungal drug called voriconazole can treat the infection but the health officials said in this case they want to be sure before they try it. The side effects from the antifungal treatment can be severe and include kidney and liver damage.
It's also hard to reach an infection in the spinal cord.
The health officials stress that women who got epidural injections while giving birth are not at risk in this outbreak. In 2005, after a giant quake and tsunami devastated shorelines around the Indian Ocean, a team of doctors in Sri Lanka reported on an outbreak of aspergillus meningitis among women who got epidurals during childbirth. Five young women were infected and three of them died.
In that case, they reported in several medical journals, the anesthetics used had been stored in hot and dirty warehouses in the aftermath of the tsunami's devastation.

I'm never gonna get out of this alive! Death came swiftly. Death comes with a strange regularity. In a bunch of eye melting pixelly ways. Yours thumbs won't thank you. Your eyes won't thank you, but your brain will. How can something so pretty be so damned evil? Well, spawned from the bullet-hell spattered brain of Rob Fearon, how can it be any other way? Are games art? This question has been answered: loud and clear. Dead again. And again. And again. But progressing nicely with every game.

England Falls
England has fallen. Quicker than I would have thought. Home Secretary Theresa May rules out use of the Army, Water Cannons. The situation is spiraling out of control. High Street areas, the ritzy places of Kensington, Notting Hill, and other "tony" areas have had rioters looting patrons of two-star Michelin restaurants. While Home Secretary May declares that "policing is done with the consent of communities." Code words for no action that the Black, Pakistani Muslim, and now Indian groups that have effectively colonized England would object to, will be taken. As the MP for Northern Ireland notes, both the Army and Water Cannon have been used within the past year in Ireland. But against ... Whites. Not Blacks, Pakistanis, or Indians. As the picture from the Daily Mail shows, a thug (Black) forces a White guy to hand over his clothes. The purpose being simple humiliation (the clothes won't fit).
Meanwhile riots have spread to other cities. Bristol, Birmingham, and Liverpool. Olympic officials are said to be mulling yanking the Olympics from London and awarding them to some other city on an emergency basis. There are not enough police, those that have been mobilized from other cities ... like Bristol are now stuck in London, where they have been fleeing rioters. The police can use no force against the mob, and the mob (nearly all Black or Pakistani or Indian depending on the section of the city) know it. The police are exhausted, working 18 shifts and limited when they do confront the mob to batons and pepper spray. Which will not cut it.
At this point, the utter weakness of England's rulers is exposed. The rulers cannot even secure the property and persons of people in tony, ritzy areas. Notting Hill and Kensington are very, very rich. Islamists and Jihadists will see this weakness and mobilize their own people to create their own mini-states. Enforced by brutal action. What will England do in response? Police by consent?
Here is the end of PC Britain. As feckless as JK Rowlings Ministry of Magic, against Voldemort. With a politically correct female Home Secretary ruling out anything that would offend Black or Muslim-Pakistani mobs. [There are a few White kids engaged in the mob violence, but is vastly Black or Pakistani-Muslim.] And of course if say, Choudary can set up his own mini Islamic Republic (and rest assured he will) inside Britain, so too can hordes of people from very poor countries in North Africa or Africa come there and simply set up where ever they want. Taking what they want. If a mob can rob the tony patrons of a tony restaurant, why not Buckingham Palace? After all, that's the consent of the Community! And why not have, say, half of Libya or Morocco show up at Dover Beach? Ready to take over? That's the price of PC weakness. Of diversity. Of Multiculturalism.
England is finished. Over. Done. Dead. There is no one in the Conservative, Liberal, Labor, or any other party save the BNP willing to use force to preserve what is left of traditional England. No one. [No, not even the UKIP.] And the BNP has no real support in Parliament to form a government. There is no one with any will. To save what is left of England would require shooting hundreds if not thousands of rioters, quite dead, at this point. Locking the rest up, in ugly penal colonies in the South Atlantic while they freeze to death (with ample documentation) and targeted payoffs to certain agitators with the promise of a trip to the Antarctic if deals are not kept (and making examples of deal-breakers). As Machiavelli wrote, it is far easier to rectify things when the situation has not reached a crisis. Early diagnosis of social ills offer remedies that are far less drastic. But no one in England has the courage or will to act, which at this point means killing lots of rioters and nothing else.
What will take its place, is rule by mob of certain enclaves. Black leaders emerging from the mob will rule certain parts of London, which will look like African hell-hole cities, only colder and with snow. Pakistani Muslim leaders will do the same with other sections of major cities which will also be hell holes. And fleeing mob non-White rule will be a host of Englishmen and women. Who will be the first but not last European refugees effectively ethnically cleansed out of their own nation.
France will probably take most of them. And they'll be the core of what promises to be an ugly and angry fight over the ethnic cleansing of Whites out of native European lands. No real effective action can be taken against the mob in the UK. The authorities retain enough power to prevent people from fighting back (as in much of the Harry Potter books the Ministry of Magic's main goal was preventing any fighting back against Voldemort). But people will vote with their feet, even as shuffling refugees into France.
Who will stop the violence? Who will prevent rioters from simply taking more, and more, and more? Who is stopping them now from stripping White passer-by of their ... CLOTHES!
No one. So the rioters will simply take more. Because there is no one to stop them. And they will rule. That is quite obvious. But would you want to live under the rule of the jumped up mob leaders sure to emerge as "rulers" of fragmented England? They won't even be able to keep the power flowing, or sewage processed, or trash picked up. Meanwhile the "government" will be a shattered hulk unable to provide much of anything other than endless punishment to the White natives who are now quite visibly second or third class people in their own lands. Perhaps a few goodies will be handed out, but that is it. Control over London, and most cities, have been given over to the mobs, and there is no means to take it back. Nor will this stuff be confined to cities, it will spread to the countryside as well. Because there is stuff there to take, and no one to stop them.
So out of desperation, people will shuffle into France like WWII refugees, with what pitiable possessions they have left, and form the most visible but not the last examples of ethnic cleansing of White natives in Europe.
England has fallen. It will never be restored to what it was. What will remain is fragmented, non-White kingdoms and Big Man pseudo republics run by folks like Choudary. Islamic mini-kingdoms and the like, conquering England without much trouble. An object lesson of the stupidity of PC, Diversity, Multiculturalism, and the rest. At least the French will know, as will the Italians, the Germans, the Spanish, the Irish, and the rest, what awaits them.
Camp of the Saints arrived in the form of London riots. Because the saints were already there, people just would not see them (again, like the refusal to recognize Voldemort in the Potter books). Of course, there are now a whole lot of people who had something, a bit of property, made dirt poor overnight, in a place where its terrible to be poor, and White. Burnt out shops, stores, homes, and such. Survivors of those undoubtedly slain in riots and arson. These people will make Travis Bickle look like Barney the Dinosaur. And they won't be a loner like Bickle, rather, organized. It was one thing for the OAS to try and retain a lost dream of Algeria. It will be another thing for a whole generation of Englishmen wanting to reclaim England, from exile in France. Ask the Israelis how it works out, with a camp of seething with resentment, exiles on your borders, dreaming of revenge and return of property. That is what awaits the new possessors of England, after their inevitable victory. As Machiavelli advised, humiliation is unwise, better to kill your enemy than leave him poor and alive. Undoubtedly the White guy forced to strip and hand over his clothes will have a life-long hatred for Blacks, and just as undoubtedly the picture in the Daily Mail will generate both fear and anger in the White British population. Which has no desire to experience the same.
Pictures have power. That picture, is bound to enrage most White Britons. Who fear it happening to them. And who are too numerous to kill.
Camp of the Saints is ultimately not sustainable, because it is one thing to force a man to hand over his clothes by reason of your superior legal and physical position (the White guy knows if he resists he will be both beaten by a much larger and stronger man, and go to jail in the bargain). It is quite another thing to keep trash off the streets, or the power going, or raw sewage safely processed. And another to build a modern military force capable of killing people efficiently in large numbers. Eventually those cleansed out will return, or their descendants, and they will be "Potter-like" in the battle finally against Voldemort, willing to make appalling sacrifices to end the threat once and for all.
The one caveat is that the UK Military, primarily the Army, could possibly step in with all other elements of society failing, and shoot half the rioters, with the approval of the Queen, and the majority British public. But that would entail a military rule and suspension of Parliament, PC, Multiculturalism, and the like. I don't see that happening, frankly. Just more of the same in the picture. There is a reason that the current government is not willing to have the Army act, and that Labor is not calling for them either. The concessions the Army would demand would be too great. So England will fall, very far, and very fast.
All that is left is the rising of the Cromwell figure, in exile, in France. Where the French White natives look in fear and wonder and demand something be done on their own situation.
Who wants PC and Multiculturalism and Diversity if all it gets you is being stripped of your clothes (and everything else)? And that's all it does get you, in the end.

In one episode of 1990, a white Britisher of Australian descent is arguing with Mr. Tasker, a high-ranking bureaucrat in the PCD (the Department of Public Control)--who is also a black man.
I can't recall the exact quote at the moment but the man arguing with the PCD official says something like "You don't understand...things are great for you now--you're black."

(Mostly Sane!) People have been warning about this sort of thing for years, decades even.
You can't have a growing underclass of children of single-mothers and thugs, as well as masses of foreigners in your country, and not expect something like this to happen sooner or later.
The one good thing out of this shit-storm from hell is that PC/Multi-culti-crap has died in the streets of London.

Has Britain fallen? Not yet, but she is teetering on the brink.
Expect a vote of confidence in Parliament, followed by a general election that will see a new government, and a spew of legislation aimed at the rioters and their enablers.
Britain will change, and the changes will impact everybody greatly.
- August 9, 2011 at 6:29 PM
Who can the British people elect though? Conservatives? The British electorate already has a feckless Con-LibDem coalition government now. Labour? A decade and a half of wrongheaded and failed Labour policies has led to this sorry pass. UKIP? BNP? Another splinter party that garners 2% or 3% of the vote?

I suspect that the alpha males would be more likely to join the rioters.
When the time comes to man the barricades it is usually by the beta males.
I recall when reading Clausewitz "on War" He describes the characteristics necessary for an army to be victorious. My memory recalls "The initial event is a sudden violent clash that is driven by emotion; then the conflict is transformed to an attrition stage. Strength required to sustain an assault must be replaced by fortitude - the ability to sustain repeated assaults. The characteristics to achieve victory in a war of attrition require a sense of honor and a willingness to self sacrifice".
These are concepts very foreign to an alpha male.
Clausewitz also finds that barbarians don't succeed in war because their culture does not produce competent generals but I'm drifting from the present subject.

Stop BSing Whiskey. The riots are full of whites. Just watch some of what's going on.
Where are the Indian/Pakistani rioters? Post some pictures or videos. I don't see any.
I've seen pictures and videos of Indians who got their stores looted. Nobody taking part in the actual rioting.
With the Pakistanis, I've seen a few videos of them walking past the streets. None of them acting thuggish.
This is a mostly black riot, but lots of whites are causing chaos too. Lots.
Some white guys robbed this injured kid. Click the link.

So it begins.
This is either the final stand by the men of the West - the English Defense League says it will show up. Or it's the last round up, the final white metrosexual, PC collapse into utter self-annihilation.
Sure, the Left has been there for decades, waiting to be destroyed. But hopefully there are enough yobs and blokes and tuffs to rise up and take back their birthright.
From here it either all goes to hell (most likely) or it all gets fixed (the last, dim hope).
The Brits have toughness somewhere in their souls. Could it really be that ALL the good DNA was lost in the wars? I think some shred of that remains. We shall see.

"Then imagine Obama sending troops for your butt"
Not even the President can do that. It would be a violation of the Posse Comitatus Act. The governors of the individual states can declare martial law and order their state's militia (national guard) to restore order. However, when this happens in the USA the militia usually impose curfews and issue orders to shoot looters. That always works. England should consider doing the same.
- August 10, 2011 at 2:47 AM
"The Army will not fire on those legally defending themselves."
The Army will do what it is ordered to do. And what they will be told to do is disarm the people - just like after Katrina. In practice, this means disarming the whites, since to disarm only the real troublemakers would be raciss'.
You may recall that last year, in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, police attempting to restore order confiscated firearms from law-abiding residents. They did not make this decision on their own; Mayor Nagin, who failed at almost everything else that he attempted with respect to saving lives and restoring order, came up with this directive.
Under the best of conditions, disarming law-abiding residents of New Orleans would be both unconstitutional and incredibly stupid. New Orleans, to put it mildly, has a violent crime problem. But in the aftermath of a hurricane that knocked out all phone service, in which large numbers of police officers deserted their posts? This was beyond stupid.

Anon@7:03/Polichinello: this has been discussed extensively in the Threeper parts of the blogosphere. Bottom line is, the army and law enforcement authorities will work with each other and more importantly will follow orders that come down the regular chain of command. You might get some individual desertions here and there, but by and large the armed forces are a tool that doesn't know _how_ to disobey orders. They will do what they are told, and if they are told to massacre dirty subversive right-wing terrorist Nazis like you, they will do so _enthusiastically_.
"Not even the President can do that. It would be a violation of the Posse Comitatus Act."
I don't think you quite understand your situation. This is a man who presented a blatantly photoshopped fake as his birth certificate. This is a Congress that passes laws without reading them or caring whether they make sense or are within the scope of what is permissible. This is a judiciary that explicitly forbids arguments drawing on the Constitution as a defense against criminal charges. The text of the laws _does_ _not_ _matter_ anymore.
They will do whatever they want. You can argue laws and cite specifics all you like and that will merely exercise your lungs as you get shipped off to your cell. You need to understand their game and play it their way (which is to say, the game of raw power) - or play your own game, and be prepared to enforce your own rules.

methinks there is another option.... if you were the white middle class fleeing, you might be far more likely to end up on the marches of Scotland than in France. I can imagine a scenario where English refugees become 'marcher lords' with highlanders to support them. Can you possibly see a situation where England proper faces hostile refugee camps on their border similar to Israel and the Pali's?

I've seen the videos of people who look like Indians/Pakistanis looting in the UK.
Looting isn't exactly alien to Indians:
Remember, Jean Raspail that Indians quite dangerous to the West because they could undermine the West all with an obsequious smile.
There is the HBD fact that Indians are prone to cheating. Google Indians and cheating on exams / tests. They're notorious for it and there's probably a genetic basis for it. College professors watch Indians closer than any other group of students for cheating.
- August 10, 2011 at 12:43 PM
I just want to point out - and without necessarily disagreeing with you, it fits with some things I've seen - that in the IT industry in the greater DC metro area (and maybe everywhere else too, I just speak of what I know), _all_ quality assurance and software testing jobs are essentially locked down by Indians.
In other words, they are the people everyone relies on to give accurate and honest assessments of the true state of software and to present unpleasant truths when finance and upper management really really wants to wishful-think any problems out of existence.

The problem is that Indians are notoriously dishonest. Not only are they famed cheaters at the college level, but this carries over to professional life. Just look at all the Indians prosecuted on Wall Street for fraud that they didn't even very cleverly cover up.

Yes. My point is, take that, and couple it with them having a monopoly on a field everyone depends on to be honest.
- August 10, 2011 at 1:48 PM
Yes, I was just following up on what you said. Sadly, I think that many of us are just now learning that "fair play" is a distinctly white / Euro tradition. While this white tradition is a good thing in a homogenous society, it becomes an Achilles Heel for whites in multi-racial societies. The same can be said for the white individualism mindset.

It is worth noting that neither Northern Ireland nor Scotland has so far seen any of these riots, neither has of course the Republic of Ireland.
Britanny and Normandy are quite close to the South of England, are mostly rural, and remain mostly White. Britanny itself is filled with Britons who fled the Saxons in the 400-500's. Until recently Breton was spoken there, a Celtic language. It is warmer than Scotland and filled with almost entirely White people.

When I was in my early 20's I went to the UK. At Heathrow Airport I was interrogated about my intentions. They questioned me and kept me waiting for about one hour. Their greatest fear was that I planned to work.
I come from a Commonwealth country, and I'm an Anglo-Celt, and I held a false belief that the British were part of my larger family. Anyways, it was a shitty but enlightening experience to be treated with such suspicion and contempt.
The British Establishment doesn't care about blood or kinship, outside of their own inbred circles. Whites are a problem that must be overcome if they are to reach that multicultural utopia somewhere over the rainbow.

Here's yet another anecdote attesting to the fact Western white women "hate, hate HATE white beta males."
An attractive young women in Arizona wastes the prime of her life pining over a murderous thug on death row.
"'They said he was a monster but to me he was Casanova': Meet the woman who married a man who is on death row"
It wasn't the wedding she had dreamt of since being a little girl.
There was no white dress, no exchange of rings and no kissing the bride.
Instead, when Ginger married her fiance, Patrick Bearup, he stood separated from her by four inches of Perspex safety glass, and after the short ceremony, her new husband returned to his small cell in the high security jail in Florence, Arizona....

Fra: Robert Browning, Elizabeth Moulton Barrett Browning Til: H.C. Andersen
Sprog: engelsk.
My wife has spoken for us both - better but not more truly than I could have done. The South, however, will not be wholly deprived of Andersen so long as the memory of him remains with many an ardent and affectionate admirer; such a one, though among the humblest, being, in all sincerity,
Robert Browning
Rome, May 21st 61.
(The Last Poem)
Rome, May, 1861.
"Now give us lands where the olives grow,"
Cried the North to the South,
"Where the sun with a golden mouth can blow
Blue bubbles of grapes down a vineyard-row!"
Cried the North to the South.
"Now give us men from the sunless plain,"
Cried the South to the North,
"By need of work in the snow and the rain,
Made strong, and brave by familiar pain!"
Cried the South to the North
"Give lucider hills and intenser seas,"
Said the North to the South,
"Since ever by symbols and bright degrees
Art, childlike, climbs to the dear Lord's knees,"
Said the North to the South.
"Give strenuous souls for belief and prayer,"
Said the South to the North,
"That stand in the dark on the lowest stair,
While affirming of God, "He is certainly there","
Said the South to the North.
"Yet oh, for the skies that are softer and higher!"
Sighed the North to the South;
"For the flowers that blaze, and the trees that aspire,
And the insects made of a song or a fire!"
Sighed the North to the South.
"And oh, for a seer to discern the same!"
Sighed the South to the North;
"For a poet's tongue of baptismal flame,
To call the tree or the flower by its name!"
Sighed the South to the North.
The North sent therefore a man of men
As a grace to the South;
And thus to Rome came Andersen.
- "Alas, but must you take him again?"
Said the South to the North.

Every week, baking expert Alice Medrich will be going rogue on Food52 -- with shortcuts, hacks, and game-changing recipes.
Today: Never rip parchment paper from a roll again.
If you are an avid baker, you probably love parchment paper as much as I do -- for lining cake pans and cookie sheets, as a landing place for sifted flour, to make paper cornets for piping, cut stencils, and so on. Nothing more need be said, right?
But if you are a new baker or occasional baker, maybe you've had a rocky time with parchment. After struggling to tear a sheet neatly (yeah, sure) from the roll and wrestling it onto a cookie a sheet, only to have it roll up and shoot across the room, you may wonder why we love the ornery stuff.
More: Crispy Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies. Cleanup made easier, by parchment.
The big secret is this: You have to buy parchment in sheets or rounds! Professionals take this for granted. Pre-cut sheets and rounds are a dream, rolls a nightmare. I'd choose water torture rather than be forced to use parchment off of a roll.
Sheets lie flat in or on pans, there is no need to chase them (across the room), weight them, or trick them into submission and never a need to grease the pan to glue them down. You can order 12x16-inch sheets (perfect for half sheet pans and cookie sheets) online or at a baking supply store, or cajole a friendly local baker to sell you handful of commercial sized sheets (16x24-inch) which can be cut in half: fold several sheets in half at once, crease the fold, then slip a knife into the crease and cut through the sheets.
Store a stack of sheets flat in a rimmed baking sheet. If you don't have drawer or shelf space for a baking sheet, clip your parchment sheets to an old-fashioned clip board and hang it on the inside of a cupboard, pantry, or closet door. There is no excuse not to keep parchment sheets instead of rolls!
Alice's most recent book, Sinfully Easy Delicious Desserts, doles out delicious dessert recipes that don't take hours of prep (a lot of them don't even require turning on the oven) -- everything from lattice-free linzer to one-bowl French chocolate torte.

NormSoft necesitaba un nuevo diseño de otro y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 99 diseños de 17 diseñadores freelance.
We are the creators of Pocket Tunes, the premiere audio player for mobile phones and PDA's. We are about to have a major release and part of the appeal of our program is that the user can change the look of the player by changing the skin. So WE WANT MORE SKINS!!
Make sure you read the Brief for specific information.
Pocket Tunes: http://www.pocket-tunes.com
The skin must be functional. Ease of use is a major focus for us. But we also want skins that are original and interesting. Something that looks current or maybe even a little ahead of the curve. We're talking about an audio player so it has to look cool.
In addition to the cash award, the winner will have the opportunity to place information about their brand and design studio on both our website where we will be featuring the winning entry and in our newsletter which goes out to over a half million people.
Primarily we are looking for the artwork for the skins. We can do the actual xml coding for it to work, all you need to do is supply us with the PSD files that have all the slices for every state any icon on screen might be in. That means that if you have say a Pause button that changes when it is pressed, we need the look before it is pressed, while it is pressed (if applicable), and after it is pressed.
For an example of what we are looking for, please download this file . NOTE that this is only an example of what we would like to see within the PSD. It is not a resolution we are requesting for this contest. See below for that.
For examples of previous skins, go to our skin site.
The skins are used on small Mobile
devices like Palm Treos. That means there are a variety of input methods. You
can use your finger, a stylus, the keypad or move around with a navigation
ring. So bear in mind when you create the skin that on many devices, the screen
is directly accessible.
You can also download the current Skin Designer's Guide. It is more to do with the XML programming which you do not need to do. But you may find it helpful in understanding the capabilities of the the Pocket Tunes skin system.
We will need a PSD file from the winner.
NOTE: The top 10 entries will get a free copy of Pocket Tunes Deluxe for their personal use.
And if we really like your work we may commission the winner for more skins in the future.
- "Pocket Tunes" must appear somewhere on the skin
and be legible. Preference is for upper left corner. Can even add a drop down menu indicator since tapping on the logo will cause the Pocket Tunes menu to open.
- 3 screen orientations 240x240, 320x240, 240x320
- MUST be in PSD format suitable for use with
PhotoShop. One PSD for each resolution.
- Include all states of any item that has multiple
- You can have multiple views that are accessible via tabs or buttons to switch views, BUT watch that you don't overdo it. Generally a maximum of 3 views is good for ease of use. For an example, see the Sleek Enhanced skin, here.
- Must have an album art area
- Should have a playlist area though it does not have to be in every view if you have multiple views on the skin
- playlist only allows for Title and Duration of each track so that is all that is needed to display in the playlist.
- For current track display: Title, Artist, Album (if album art is prominent, this can be left off)
- Minimally you need to have buttons of some sort for: Play/Pause - can be one button for both, Previous track, Next track, Choose Songs - to choose new tracks, Volume Indicator
- Optionally: Shuffle, Repeat indicators
- display current song position and duration. Can be in the form of a slider, progress bar, numbers or combination.
- functional
- original
- interesting
- crowded screen where the icons are too small to comfortably
- boring

Ian Patrick Hughes necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 169 diseños de 61 diseñadores freelance.
Petamazoo.com at the moment is a large-scale "proof of concept" project that may evolve into an actual company of its own. It's a pet and animal oriented venture with offerings to pets, their owners, and people who service those pets.
Currently under development are hardware pieces, handheld applications, and a website. We are at a point where it would be nice to begin to formulate an identity.
We need a fun, fresh, inspired logo to start branding items involved in development of the final product.
Imagine if your dog could sit at your computer desk, bang away on the keys, and interact with his buddies online, set appointments, and manage his own life. Without getting into details, that's the gist of it and as close as I come to describing things at the moment.
The closest description that can be provided about Petamazoo.com isthat the website portion is essentially a social site for pets (yeahcrazy, we know), their owners, and pet service providers. The winninglogo will assist in the design of the website and drive some of theearly conceptual art in numerous areas. If the winning piece is reallygood we can offer high-visibility to the artist and may considerlinking to the artist(s) from the finalized products "about" section(s).
We have held previous competitions and provided 100 percent feedback. We fully intend to do so again here, so any artist willing to work withus….we will work with!
Task: We are looking for a crisp, professional logo which utilizes the full brand name (petamazoo.com) which will be used for identifying the brand at numerous customer touch-points.
What this means: Well, this concept has numerous different working components unlike many of the website type companies frequently found offering contests here at 99Designs. This logo will be immediately used in conceptual desktop/handheld software applications, may be recessed into molded plastic forms for devices, and in a standard CSS based web layout design.
All of these are aimed at pet lovers and pet owners. It will be a caring company/project which will attempt to encompass terms like caring, sincerity, professionalism, service, entertainment, and above all else FUN!
- Overall Design: Something fun and loose yet at the same time tight, and self contained. If this logo is to be raised on a smooth surface or recessed into hard-plastic it can't be over-complicated and all over the place. I do not want to hinder artistic inspiration so I don't want to offer too much direction. However, the logo itself should include the brand name "petamazoo.com". The user may encounter a piece of hardware and need to go to the website and well, we're not Apple, so a picture will not tell most users where to go.
- More Overall: The imagery design entries should all be FUN without sacrificing a sense of professionalism. Think almost along the lines of child toys. They are attractive and inviting to the children, yet the parents do not feel they are purchasing unsafe toys from an unprofessional company.
- Colors and Fonts: It would be nice to remain at 3-Color but certainly not more than 5. They should be light and inviting (dark designs will be rejected outright) It should work well as solid vector art (no complicated shading) and would be best to use common available font (don't use your own or some font from a rare font-kit). It should be viewable/readable (granted not as fun) in single color and if reduced small (1-inch across).
- Winning Final Formats: It is REQUIRED to be available in vector formats for Illustrator/Photoshop. A series of sized jpegs (from small to large) would be excellent as well to assist in considering how a design will play on a small piece of plastic as well as a website header.
- Have Fun!: It's tough for us to determine what we don't want as long as the artist adheres to the "wants" list. Try to be inspired and be original, of course!

text: The idea of a common biological cause for the association between psychological distress and creativity is clearly an attractive one. Gioia De Antoniis/Flickr 27 août 2015 Are creative people more prone to psychological distress or is the 'mad genius' a myth? Quincy Wong, Macquarie University Researchers have suggested a new theory for why neurotic unhappiness and creativity are often found in the same person. But is the assumption that creative people are more neurotic actually true?
