Man accused of killing brother arrives in Madison
Prisoner extradited from Wash. to face charges in Wis.
MADISON, Wis. - A prisoner in Washington state was returned to Wisconsin to face charges that he tortured and killed his disabled half-brother.
The Dane County Sheriff's Office said Saturday that Jeffrey Vogelsberg was extradited from Pierce County, Wash., and booked into the Dane County Jail late Friday.
The 27-year-old was arrested in Lewis, Wash., last month. He tried to fight efforts to extradite him to Wisconsin, but Washington Gov. Christine Gregoire complied after Gov. Scott Walker requested Vogelsberg's return.
Vogelsberg is charged with first-degree intentional homicide and party to the crime of hiding a corpse.
Prosecutors said Vogelsberg repeatedly tortured Matthew Graville, a 27-year-old autistic man who died in July. Graville's body was found near Lone Rock in November. He had been missing for four months.
Matthew Graville's sister, mother, and best friend spoke with WISC-TV on Saturday.
They say they never doubted that Jeffrey Vogelsberg would end up in the Dane County Jail.
"We knew it'd probably take time, but we knew he'd end up back here," said Brittany Casteel, Graville's best friend.
"I think it kind of makes it sink into home that it actually happened, you know, now that the main person is here and being charged," added Dominique Vaile, Graville's sister.
"In the end, it's just a relief to know that it started and it's almost over," said Vaile.
"It" started when Robert McCumber led police to Graville's body near Lone Rock.17948846
According to the criminal complaint, McCumber first found the corpse in a Mazomanie house.
That's where McCumber reportedly wrapped Graville in plastic before freezing his body and helping Vogelsberg to bury him.
Also in jail is Graville's stepmother, Laura Robar, who is accused of stealing disability checks from Graville, who had been diagnosed with Asperger syndrome.
"We can only hope other people take more proceedings and more cautions to help people with disabilities to have people care for them," said Casteel.
The women hope officials now release Graville's body so they can lay their brother, son, and friend to rest.
"Waiting sucks. We just want it to be over and for Matthew to rest in peace, and we don't want people suffering. This shouldn't happen to other people, let alone Matthew," added Casteel.
Vogelsberg is set to be in court the first Wednesday of the new year.
The other two accused are scheduled to go before a judge in February.
There has been a fund set up to help the family cover Graville's funeral costs.
A silent auction and show will be held at Five Nightclub to raise money for that fund.
The event is scheduled for February 2 from 6 to 10 p.m.

What are your plans when the Disney Exclusive Star Tours figures come out?
There are currently plans for these 3 being offered at the theme parks starting in August.
They may be available through the Fan Club at some point later.
Yes, these look great! I can't wait to get 'em!
Yes, I'll get them if I don't have to visit a theme park.
No, I don't think I'm interested in these items.
Maybe. I'm not sure they're going to be part of my collection.

BAD Pts Need: R5-C7 lf leg (x2), , R4-P44 right leg BAD Pts Offered For Trade: PM me - I have lots of parts now including BG-J38!. New Kyle Katarn is also available.
I would feel better about these if they weren't so obviously geared towards collectors. These are toys from a children's theme park, and compared to the 'deluxe line for kids', these aren't good value at all. Should have been thrown loose in a bin, and sold for $3 each. Then the kids themselves could afford them, and not have their parents grumbling as they hand $40 (so far) over to the cashier.
Maybe one day, following a life-threatening, dollar-inflicted papercut, Lucas will let up on the whole 'fleece the fans' thing. (wishful thinking)
"It's bombs away for Iraq and on our civil liberties if Bush and his cronies get their way. Dissent is patriotic!"
- Helen Thomas, veteran journalist
Journalists are mostly centrist in their political orientation. The minority of journalists who do not identify with the "center" are more likely to identify with the "right" when it comes to economic issues and to identify with the "left" when it comes to social issues.
I was going to say, "Well, yeah, they look cool enough," but Lord Tenebrous is making me feel guilty for wanting them.
They look a little light in the articulation, but I'm still stoked about this. I've been waiting 15 years (yes, it's been 15 years since Star Tours first opened, I was there, it was great) for toys from this ride to come out and I'm thrilled to see 4 figures. I was so jazzed when they came out with a little pull-back Action Fleet-sized Starspeeder 3000 a year ago that I not only bought myself one, I bought as many people as I could one and mailed them off in Disneyland maps. You can never have enough Star Wars droids IMO.
BTW, little bit of trivia, the G2 droids are recycled attraction props, they were originally audio-animatronic robots dressed as birds from the less-than-spectacular "America Sings" attraction, the one that revolved yet still bored that they recently turned into the nearly as unpopular Innoventions.
Darth Vader is becoming the Mickey Mouse of Star Wars.
Kylo Ren - came from Space Brooklyn, although he moved to Space Williamsburg before it was trendy.
The use of a lightsaber does not make one a Jedi, it is the ability to not use it.
it will be cool to have something to look at and think "man that was some trip i went on"
i need an ephant mon, who wants to help? :D
I brought my family to Disney World in January and one of the first things we did was go to Star Tours (it wasn't built the last time I was there as a kid). I thought it was great, but I was much more impressed by the AT-AT and other decor more than I was with the actual ride, (though we did ride it about 4 times). I'm not sure I'll get all the figs.... Rex annoyed me on the ride, don't think I need a figure of him to remember that. But, the R3-D3 looks pretty cool and GL-4T reminds me (sort of) of Johny Lightning???? Johnny-Five??? from the movie Short Circuit with Ally Sheedy. I'm not overly impressed with DL-X2, but it may make an interesting repair droid. So, I'll probably get a few of them, but price will also be a factor.
Ex-wife to me in the toy aisle: "Why do I sense we've picked up another plastic lifeform?"
Thanks to sebillba for the trade!
Have to agree there, it does give off a Johnny #5 feel. Which isn't bad, cause I enjoyed the movie.Originally posted by obi-dad
But, the R3-D3 looks pretty cool and GL-4T reminds me (sort of) of Johny Lightning???? Johnny-Five??? from the movie Short Circuit with Ally Sheedy.
Hopefully I'll be able to get these, I went to Disney World when I was 2-3 (my Mom won a trip from McDonalds, that's the only way we could afford it), but don't remember alot from it. We didn't go on Star Tours either cause it was being worked on or something then. I think I would've remembered that. (I remember hugging Mickey, I definitely would've remembered something related to Star Wars!...even if I didn't know about Star Wars then. )
The Droids are great looking, and would add alot to dioramas, especially Mos Eisley and Rebel or Imperial base dioramas.
"Hokey packaging and ancient gimmicks are no match for good detail on your figure, kid."
"I am a Klingot from Oklahoma in human boy form."
"We came, we saw, we conquered... We, woke up!"
These MAY end up in my collection. Their kinda like the Jorg Sacul or Toyfare Vader IMO. If I didn't go, it's kinda like...What's the point.
I know MANY will disagree with me here but these things are more like cool little momentos of your trip. If I didn't go to Toyfare 2002, or Celebration 2, or Star Tours then I really don't NEED them. Certainly not enough to pay the kinda money these are commanding in the secondary market.
Just my 2 cents.
May the force be with you.
I don't want to go all the way to the theme park so I'll getem through the Fan Club!!
"Eat My Shorts"-Bart Simpson
"I SEE YOU''-Sauron the Dark Lord
-Maul- l_l
I'm going to pass on them. The only one I would want is the R3, and with R3-T7 still hanging out at KB and TRU, I'll just pick up a couple more of those and re-paint it.
Yo momma. That's right, I said "yo momma".

Most people come to therapy because of relationships. We are biologically wired to seek love and attachment. When a relationship is jeopardized, it can feel like our whole world is threatened. Couple's therapy is about learning to meet our needs, so that we are okay in or out of relationship. As we do so, we take pressure off of our partner-- and often our relationship improves automatically. Some couples may need additional help developing skills in: communication, confrontation, intimacy, and money management.

Did You Miss Our Ocean Google Hangout?
Posted On May 22, 2014 by Michelle Frey
As part of the launch campaign for the 2014 Trash Free Seas Data Report, Ocean Conservancy hosted its first-ever Google Hangout! In case you missed it, the broadcast has been archived to our YouTube page here:
And don't forget to check out the full report on our website.
More about the Ocean Google Hangout:
Trash has infiltrated all reaches of our ocean, causing negative impacts on ocean life and coastal communities. The problem can seem overwhelming, but it is preventable. Ocean Conservancy held a conversation about trash and the ocean. We talked about the 'just-released' findings from Ocean Conservancy's 2013 International Coastal Cleanup. And we heard from a leading scientist and waste management expert about where the solutions to this problem lie. Watch the video and you'll learn what we've discovered, what does it all means and what we can do next?

So, I hear this show is ending in about eight episodes. Should I go out and buy thousands of dollars of the DVD season sets, or will that ruin me?
Sorry, I just can't get into the premise of this show at all, despite the great acting and script reviews it's gotten; it takes the "would you do anything..." concept to places I would never hope to even remotely approach.
I predict that the upcoming Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi film will include the word "and." Multiple times.
That's what I love about this show.
I write my own novels using that approach as well. In fact, my works start with you not really knowing exactly who is the bad character, and which is the good.
Then I show what it takes to make the good person turn bad and I take my reader down that slippery moral slope.
I think we are all inherently self-centered and will behave in such a way as to rationalize anti-social behavior.
However, I also hope we as a species will continue to make strives forward, toward more enlightened and civil behavior.
I think by looking into the heart and mind of "the fallen" whereas one can actually realize they (as the observer, viewer, reader) have started thinking pretty dark thoughts (like when the Breaking Bad characters shot a child-witness to their materials heist - from a train no less) we realize:
1) we thought that if there were no witnesses, we wouldn't get caught and go to jail, so we'd sacrifice a child we didn't know and never cared about (an innocent stranger of the most innocent type)
2) but maybe we'd realize that if we didn't get involved in such things like the drug trade in the first place (there might've been better ways to pull funds to survive cancer and provide for one's family) we wouldn't arrive at a place where we had to let our selfish ends justify the most reprehensible means - like my call to kill off Lydia now that she's become a problem - and they had to kill Mike (a hit man but a great character) last season as well.
Anyway, by this reasoning, I think you might not "remotely approach" doing anything if you thought an act and its consequences through before you started.
Walter started:
1) someone's going to sell drugs anyway.
2) I need the money
3) It might as well be me, as I can make better drugs
I don't see in #'s 1-3 above the decision to kill everyone that's had to die. That's because you can go back through #'s 1-3 and say:
1) so let it be someone else's issue and I'm not going to get involved
2) I do need the money, but other people find other ways
3) maybe I can apply my talents / education elsewhere to accomplish #2 immediately above?
But now that the characters have made an ends-justify-the-means approach, and you know them and are invested in their well being after 5 seasons - and the kid shot on his bike was only in 5 minutes of over 5 years - you recognize yourself starting to figure out how the characters can get away with stuff. What the smart decisions for their own self-interests would be...
I love writing my characters that way.
My favorite shows like Breaking Bad, The Shield, Sons of Anarchy, Southland, Copper, Hell on Wheels, etc. take you down the dark path.
Anakin Skywalker made the same choice:
1) Mace would kill Palpatine so Anakin acted but Palpatine struck.
2) Anakin needed Palpatine to save Padme (in his mind)
3) The Jedi would try and punish Anakin for his interference with Mace and the Council
4) Palpatine became his best ally for saving Padme
5) Even the younglings were rudimentaly trained and would fight for their Jedi way of life - the only life they knew. Anakin had to kill them or they'd hone their skills, grow up, and stand as enemies against the Dark Lords.
There's no redemption for what he did - not even saving Luke in ROTJ. There really shouldn't be. Though it's up to Luke to forgive his father. I like in the EU how Leia couldn't. Maybe she never should have and never named her 3rd child Anakin? Luke was not witness to more of Vader's atrocities, having been sheltered. I'm not aware that he or Vader knew that Beru and Owen were executed. And Alderaan was horrific, but like the strange new kid on the bicycle. Of no significance to Luke...
I also don't think Luke understood that what his father did was to save his mother.
Vader / Anakin's ghost should NOT have appeared when Yoda's joined Obi-Wan's. Probably. But he did fulfill the prophesy...
On Breaking Bad, Walter used drug money to pay for surgery and therapy to heal his DEA brother-in-law after he was brutally wounded by drug dealer enforcers.
People are not all bad (or good) and it makes for real characters, but a few rights do not undo terrible wrongs.
Back to Star Wars, was Alderaan Darth Vader's fault? Well, we could talk about how Vader could have prevented that. But it goes beyond just stopping Tarkin and ordering the station to stand down. The Emperor would find out. And then?

I haven't watched in years. I tuned out halfway through season 1 but I caught the last half-hour of the finale. It was good, wrapped everything up (from what I've heard).

Let's hear it for 'tweeners
It's a 'tweener year. Let's celebrate it.
U.S. auto sales this year will fall between 2008's dreadful 13.2 million units and 2007's 16.2 million. Technically, we're still behind the 2008 sales pace, but we'll beat it like a drum by year end.
Yea. Nobody will miss 2008.
We won't get even close to 2007.
Hurrah. Thank goodness for that.
It is sometimes convenient to call 2007 "the last year of normal." Sure, it was the ninth straight year U.S. auto sales topped 16 million.
But it was completely abnormal. That near-decade plateau of high sales was the very symbol of the failed experiment of escalating incentives and overproduction to maximize capacity usage.
In human terms, 2007 was the final orgy of booze, bacon, fries and foie gras -- and 2008 was the heart attack that followed.
Call this the industry's third year post-rehab: eating more sensibly, exercising regularly and carrying a better attitude.
It may finish the year about 2 million units below the 2008 pace. But it's profitable.
And far more sustainable.
Like I said. Time to celebrate.

Being organized gives you time and space to do things you love and help people who are less fortunate. This was the premise behind the Give the of Organization contest we held this year. We ask YOU to nominate people or organizations who give back to the community. In return, Rubbermaid would give them some organization so they could devote more space and time to helping others. We received so many great nominations but YOU chose a special organization as the winner – Mary's Room.
Mary's Room is a local non-profit in Watertown, WI that is run out of the local Episcopal church. Mary's Room fills a gap in resources available to low-income families providing things like diapers, clothing and toys that food stamps and other organizations do not provide. The church and volunteers gave their space and time freely to help others in the community. In fact, the non-profit was run out of the main meeting room in the church. Members met in the meeting room around baby car seats and volunteers organized clothes and diapers in old bins stored in a small, scary closet.
You can see lots of before pictures here in this slide show (just click on the image to change the photo!):
[slideshow id=3]
With help from another grant the church received, Rubbermaid was able to move Mary's Room into a new room in the church and provide organizational tools to make this a true shopping experience for the families who use Mary's Room. Better yet, the tools Rubbermaid gave will help the volunteers be able to add clothing and other items to the room easily and quickly while providing flexibility to adjust the room based on what is donated. We took the new space they had and optimized it so they could store as much as possible.
How did we do it? Check out the video and images below:
Here are the highlights of what we did:
- Added HomeFree series closet shelving to the walls. The main space had double hang (aka two rows of hanging space) with the top row used for boys clothing and the bottom for girls. We also added clothing divider tabs to the space to mark different sizes.
- Added FastTrack Garage rails and hooks to the back wall to hold larger items like car seats and strollers. This utilized the wall space and cleared valuable floor space.
- Created a volunteer zone with Bento and HomeFree series canvas bins to hold diapers, label makers, extra hangers and any other items volunteers might need as they work in the room
- Left room below clothing for clear shoe bins and Roughneck Clears to hold smaller items. Bibs, socks, bottles, small toys, etc. can be stored in these clearly labeled with the items and different sizes.
- We left Dymo Label Makers behind so volunteers can make clear labels for families to use when shopping for specific items.
So what do you think of the transformation?

Situated near the President's residence and the Jerusalem Theater the L.A. Mayer Museum was opened to the public in 1974. An architectural jewel in the center of Jerusalem, it was founded by the late philanthropist Mrs. Vera Bryce Salomons, and dedicated to her friend and teacher, Prof. Leo Arie Mayer rector of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Mayer was a noted professor and scholar of Islamic art and architecture who was dedicated to building bridges between Jews and Arabs. Today, visitors include, among others, school children from East Jerusalem and Arab towns throughout Israel. Official state guests from Arab countries also visit the Museum – an integral part of their itinerary.
The core of the museum's collection was the result of acquisitions made by Mrs. Salomons to complement Prof. Mayer's private collection. Prof. Richard Ettinghausen, a researcher and experts in Islamic art and architecture, was entrusted with the task of assembling the Museum's exquisite collection between 1965 and 1979 from all over the world. The museum portrays the beliefs and art of the Islamic civilization in its nine galleries, staged in chronological order: the Arab conquest of the ancient world, the unification of vast territories under the banner of Islam and the invasion of these areas by different nations. Research on the art of Islamic countries focuses on architecture and ornamental objects from the 7th century AD to present times, and covers a vast geographical area – from Spain to India and eastward. Art objects displayed include chess pieces, dominos and antique playing cards, daggers, swords, helmets and other arms, textiles and carpets, jewelry, glass items, pottery and metal-ware.
One of the galleries is dedicated to the collection of watches and clocks collected by Mrs. Salomons' father, Sir David Lionel Salomons – a display of European timepieces and music boxes, mostly dating from the 18th and 19th centuries. An exquisite collection of hand carved decorated timepieces is on display, as well as automatons and a video showing the mechanics in operation. Groups may request a special presentation that includes demonstrations, upon prior arrangement.
The museum plans to refurbish its entrance hall and central gallery in 2007, and a host of family activities are being organized for the Passover/Easter holiday season. Its current changing exhibition – Court Amusements – tells the story of leisure activities and pastimes as they are reflected in all forms of Islamic art throughout the ages.
The Museum offers guided tours in three languages (Hebrew, English, Arabic, upon prior arrangement), and creative workshops on various subjects.

The Alternate History Track at Dragon Con 2011 set up an attempt to get the Guiness record of 'the most steampunk cosplayers together in a photo'. They had to maintain position for 10 minutes for it to be official, just enough time to get the Gigapan to do its thing and capture this shot. So many standard photos don't have the resolution to zoom in on detail, and I wanted everyone to have a chance to be seen. I hope you enjoy it.

Janeane Garofalo: Hey, let's make Weiner mayor of New York
posted at 7:15 pm on June 11, 2011 by Allahpundit
Yeah, why not? He's completely untrustworthy, crippled by tragically poor judgment, willing to lie to an almost pathological extent to cover up his transgressions, and fully prepared to smear his political enemies if he thinks he can profit from it. He's narcissistic, nasty, and yet somehow so insecure that showing him idle flattery on Twitter might earn you a photo of his nob. Oh, and by his own admission, he's apparently unfit for work in the private sector. So then: Why not let him run the country's biggest city? More power, not less. Because he is, after all, a fightin' liberal, which clearly impresses sophisticated progressive Janeane Garofalo. He fights. He never really wins or achieves much by doing so — his weakness as a legislator is one of the reasons Democrats have been so willing to run him over — but he hates those wingnuts and isn't shy about saying so, which is reason enough to let him govern America's financial nerve center. Skip ahead to 3:00 and drink this in, bearing in mind that she's hardly alone in her Weiner admiration, even now, among the lefty base.
She gets a smattering of applause from Maher's audience too, of course, just as a reminder that there really is no idea so stupid that they won't cheer for it. Exit quotation from an incisive Matt Lewis, who succeeds in perfectly, er, sizing Weiner up: "Being a political rock star isn't what he does for a job — it's who he is."

North Korea: Beyond the Bamboo Curtain
The division of Korea in 1945, the Korean War which spanned from 1950 to 1953, and resulted in the separation of the Korean peninsula, are some of the events that have left deep wounds in the people of both nations and continue to influence relations with North Korea. Further straining the region are the United States' military presence in South Korea and North Korea's nuclear development program which have brought it much attention in recent years.
Since 2003, both the U.S. and North Korea have participated in the Six-Party Talks meant to address the threat posed by a nuclear North Korea. In April 2009, North Korea quit the talks and announced that it would reverse the ongoing disablement process called for under the Six-Party agreements and restart its Yongbyon nuclear facilities. Given the history and legacies of the Korean War, decades of economic sanctions on the DPRK by the U.S., and current political tensions on the Korean peninsula that have been exacerbated by both increased U.S. military presence on the border and the DPRK's emerging nuclear program, it is vital for Americans to travel to this country to in order to help establish people-to-people ties.The Citizens Diplomacy Reality Tour to North Korea will give participants the distinct opportunity to see inside this tightly guarded nation and gain first-hand perspective the effects of both U.S. and North Korean policies. Participants will have a chance to put a human face on this ongoing political dispute and help facilitate understanding and respect between people of different nations. Experience a slice of daily life at a school, farming coop, and temple and visit landmarks like the Sinchon War Museum and the demilitarized zone between North and South Korea.
Together they will give you a unique peek into a culture that few outsiders experience for themselves. During this delegation you will be attending the Arirang games and assist to the celebration held on July 27th for the 60th anniversary of the end of the Korean War.

If I could wave a magic wand, I would just wish that figure skating were more popular overall, and that more people could develop an appreciation for it, including the nuances such as different jumps, spins, lifts, etc. I just love this sport and wish more people loved it too (in an intelligent way--not just a "that costume is nice" or "I like that music" kind of way). When I see the reams of ink spilled on other, IMO lesser, sports, and the incredible amount of commercial and media attention they receive, I just wish skating could have even a fraction of that interest and attention.
On a more practical level, an immediate change I'd like to see is readjustment of spin levels/criteria/points in IJS. Lately I feel like everyone's spins look the same and have the same positions, which is just boring. And although everyone is doing very difficult spins, not many people really do them well. I'd really rather see a simpler spin done well than one with six changes of position but done poorly.

fixed attachment creation for testopia
Today I found the time to fix a problem in testopia – the mozilla test extention for Bugzilla.
The problem was, that we where unable to attach files to a test case in the testopia extention. After some research I found out, that the tr_attachment.cgi module uses the Testopia:Attachment perl module to do the database stuff.
I have changed to too simple database insert statement to a more secure prepared statement which uses the type BLOB for the contents and it works perfekt.
To get the fixed file you can download it from the original bug 576524.

1.13: Location on the Earth
How could you locate this feature?
Geologists, hikers, and many other people need to be able to say where they are. Or where they want to go. They need to be able to mark a location on a map. The opening photo is of Old Faithful Geyser in Yellowstone National Park. It is located at 44o30'N and 110o150'W. Let's explore what that means.
To describe your location, you could use a coordinate system. To do this you need two points. For example, you could use streets. Maybe you are at the corner of Maple Avenue and Main Street. Or you could use a point of reference, a distance and an angle for direction. If you want to meet up with a friend, you could tell him "I am two blocks due north of your apartment." Can you identify the point of reference, the distance, and the angle?
Map Coordinates
Most maps use a grid of lines to help you to find your location. This grid system is called a geographic coordinate system. Using this system you can define your location by two numbers, latitude and longitude. Both numbers are angles between your location, the center of Earth, and a reference line (Figure below).
Lines of latitude start with the equator. Lines of longitude begin at the prime meridian.
Lines of latitude circle around Earth. The equator is a line of latitude right in the middle of the planet. Latitude is divided into degrees - 90o north of the equator and 90o south of the equator. One degree is subdivided into 60 minutes. One minute is subdivided into 60 seconds. The equator is at 0o. The equator is an equal distance from both the North and South Pole. If you know your latitude, you know how far you are north or south of the equator.
Lines of longitude are circles that go around Earth from pole to pole, like the sections of an orange. Longitude is also measured in degrees, which are subdivided into minutes and seconds. Lines of longitude start at the Prime Meridian, which is 0o. The Prime Meridian is a circle that runs north to south and passes through Greenwich, England. Longitude tells you how far you are east or west from the Prime Meridian (Figure below). On the opposite side of the planet from the Prime Meridian is the International Date Line. It is at 180o. This is the place where a new day first arrives.
Lines of latitude and longitude form convenient reference points on a map.
You can remember latitude and longitude by doing jumping jacks. When your hands are above your head and your feet are together, say longitude (your body is long!). When you put your arms out to the side horizontally, say latitude (your head and arms make a cross, like the "t" in latitude). While you are jumping, your arms are going the same way as each of these grid lines: horizontal for latitude and vertical for longitude.
Using Latitude and Longitude on a Map
If you know the latitude and longitude of a place, you can find it on a map. Simply place one finger on the latitude on the vertical axis of the map. Place your other finger on the longitude along the horizontal axis of the map. Move your fingers along the latitude and longitude lines until they meet. For example, say the location you want to find is at 30oN and 90oW. Place your right finger along 30oN at the right of the map. Place your left finger along the bottom at 90oW. Move your fingers along the lines until they meet. Your location should be near New Orleans, Louisiana, along the Gulf coast of the United States. Now can you locate Old Faithful, 44o30'N and 110o150'W, on a map?
What if you want to know the latitude and longitude of your location? If you know where you are on a map, point to the place with your fingers. Take one finger and move it along the latitude line to find your latitude. Then move another finger along the longitude line to find your longitude.
Global Positioning System
In order to get latitude, longitude, and elevation you need several instruments. What if you could do the same thing with only one instrument? A Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver is all that is needed to locate your position on the Earth's surface in many places.
By 1993, the United States military had launched 24 satellites to help soldiers locate their positions on battlefields. This system of satellites was called the Global Positioning System (GPS). Later, the United States government allowed the public to use this system. Here's how it works.
(a) You need a GPS receiver to use the GPS system. (b) It takes signals from four GPS satellites to find your location precisely on the surface.
You must have a GPS receiver to use the system. You can buy many types of these in stores. The GPS receiver detects radio signals from nearby GPS satellites. There are precise clocks on each satellite and in the receiver. The receiver measures the time for radio signals from satellites to reach it. The receiver uses the time and the speed of radio signals to calculate the distance between the receiver and the satellite. The receiver does this with at least four different satellites to locate its position on the Earth's surface (Figure above). GPS receivers are now being built into many items, such as cell phones and cars.
You can use a GPS meter to tell you how to get to Old Faithful.
- coordinate system: Numbers on a grid that locate a particular point.
- equator: Line connecting all the points equal distance between the North and South Poles. The zero degree line.
- global positioning system (GPS): System of satellites designed to give location information. Satellite signals are picked up by special devices that use triangulation.
- latitude: Location of a place between the north and south pole relative to the equator.
- longitude: Location of a place relative to the Prime Meridian, which runs north-south through Greenwich, England.
- Prime Meridian: Zero degree line for longitude; goes through Greenwich, England.
- Latitude is the distance north or south of the equator. It is expressed as a number between 0o and 90o north or south.
- Longitude is the distance east or west of the Prime Meridian. It is expressed as a number between 0o and 180o east or west.
- The global positioning system uses satellites to display very accurate location information on a special receiver.
