Stalkers Parents have just gained a potent new weapon in their electronic babysitting arsenal, or at least a new outlet at which to purchase it. Your local NAPA auto parts store will soon be stocking the GPS Tracking Key, a cell-phone sized, battery-powered GPS tracking device with a built-in data recorder. Just use the convenient magnetic base to attach the Tracking Key to the vehicle in question, allow the unsuspecting driver to hit the road, then retrieve the device upon his or her return. The trip data can then be downloaded and overlaid with maps, satellite data and text information, including distance traveled, speeds achieved, the addresses where stops were made, and the duration of the stops. Jalopnik Snap Judgment: Just because something can be built does not mean it should be built. While we're sure there are some noble uses for this product, we can't think of any. It's built for spying and stalking, and as such will be used almost exclusively to foster distrust and paranoia among families, lovers and employees. Think about it: What's the most conniving, illicit way you can come up with to use the GPS Tracking Key? Drop your filthy ideas into the comments and enjoy the full press release below.
NAPA Dealers Add GPS Tracking Key to Their Automotive Product Line CARY, Ill., Sept. 2 — LandAirSea Systems, Inc. has announced that they have begun distributing the increasingly popular GPS Tracking Key to NAPA automotive dealers across the country. NAPA has been a long time supplier of replacement parts, accessories and service items to the automotive repair industry and they are confident that the Tracking Key will be a profitable addition to their inventory. About the Tracking Key: The award winning GPS Tracking Key is a small, pocket sized device that receives signals from the twenty-four Department of Defense satellites orbiting the earth. Its internal computer determines the GPS location of a vehicle and records detailed travel activities such as times of departure, routes traveled, speed of vehicle and duration of stops. The recorded data can then be displayed with Google Earth(R) over a street map, satellite images or in a text report. Among the growing list of consumers for this device are parents of teenage drivers who have found it to be a helpful tool in keeping track of their teens' whereabouts. By making the GPS Tracking Key available to its customers, NAPA is hoping to attract this most recent category of buyer. About NAPA The National Automotive Parts Association (NAPA) was founded over 80 years ago to meet America's growing need for a national auto parts distribution system. They are a retailer's cooperative which distributes parts and equipment to both corporately and independently owned auto parts stores. Today, NAPA oversees 6,000 auto parts stores, 69 distribution centers, 13,000 affiliated NAPA auto care repair facilities and over 320,000 parts in inventory every day. With the advent of 21st century sophistication, the automotive industry and its affiliates have become increasingly complex, their product line expanding to include more than the basic nuts and bolts. The GPS Tracking Key, though unimpressive in size and appearance, is destined to become a standard feature in vehicles nationwide, as more and more consumers become dependent upon its wide range of capabilities. "The Tracking Key has been proven in the GPS tracking industry to be one of the best devices in the world for passive GPS tracking. It is a very powerful, affordable and extremely easy to use device," said Rob Wagner, CEO of LandAirSea Systems, Inc. About LandAirSea: Currently headquartered in Cary, Illinois, LandAirSea plays host to the world's most powerfully engineered GPS tracking equipment. With several varieties of GPS tracking systems in operation across the globe, LandAirSea has become an industry leading provider of effective, affordable tracking solutions for thousands of civilians as well as a multitude of government and law enforcement agencies.

The following guidelines will be considered by the WCH Executive Committee
a suitable congress director & hosting institutions,
a strong organising committee (including local & regional herpetologists),
a strong scientific program committee (including local & regional herpetologists)
economic feasibility & affordability,
conference facilities & organisation,
security & travel restrictions imposed on countries (e.g. entry & visa requirements),
accessibility to airline travel from around the globe,

Suitable bid contenders will be invited to present their bids at the WCH9 in New Zealand in January 2020
Flexible Global Rotation for hosting the WCH Congress in 2024
The WCH has now successfully run 8 world congresses in various locations around the world, including all zoogeographic regions.
The 9th WCH will be hosted in Dunedin, New Zealand, 5-10 January 2020 and this will be the second time of these meetings in the region of Australasia.
Considering the year and location of previous WCH meetings, the following list provides a basis for global rotation from 2024 onwards:
Palearctic Europe
Oriental Asia
Neotropical America
Nearctic America
Palearctic Asia
Australasia & Pacific Islands
A flexible rotation will allow WCH to ensure congresses are fairly and evenly rotated around the different zoogeographic regions of the world. The rotation is flexible and acts as a guide only, and may not be strictly adhered to, however the position on the rotation list will be considered when assessing bids for future WCH congresses. Once a region successfully hosts a WCH congress its region will be placed at the bottom of the table, and will not be eligible to bid for the subsequent congress until it moves higher up the list.
Bids should include information on the proposed WCH including:
the conference director
the organising committee members
technical organiser company
the chair and members of the scientific program committee
hosting institution(s)

an informative budget
a letter from each hosting institution's leader to declare the willingness to participate in organising the congress
Bids will be distributed amongst the WCH Executive and International Herpetological Committees for feedback and consideration, and the venue and date of the Congress will be determined by the Executive Committee.

Floripa brauchte ein neues Website Design und hat einen Wettbewerb auf 99designs gestartet.
Aus 17 Designs von 9 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
This site will be used for retail and wholesale distribution of a swimsuit calendar.
The primary purpose of this site will be to introduce consumers to the Girls of Brazil calendar for the purpose of getting them to want to buy. The main page will be set up for retail consumers. Also on the home page then you can add a second offer. This should be for distributors who are interested in learning how to carry the product. They should be able to see our contact info or fill out a simple contact form.
We would also like to have blog area with a clean design as well similar in style to http://www.glacieradventure.com/ . The site needs to be layed out for SEO and ease of customer experience. It also needs to be mindful of a direct call to action
The story of the calendar is as follows:
Florianopolis, Brazil is famously known for having some of Brazil's most beautiful women. I personally have travelled all around the world and have never seen a place so full of beautiful people.
In January of 2008 then I headed to Florianopolis for a 3 week long surf vacation. Before this trip I had never shot professional photos of women, or anything else for that matter. I was an avid amateur photography but living in Montana then my prior subjects had always been nature, such things as grizzly bears or sunsets.
Seeing the beautiful women of Florianopolis then I had an idea of making a swimsuit calendar. January is summer time in Brazil and the beaches were hot and crowded with thongs (woohoo!) (and unfortunately speedos – yikes).
I found the first model, Fernanda, with the help of my good friend Hans Keeling of Nexus Surf. She was working at the beach renting out fresco paddles. Her job required her to work 6 to 7 days a week but as luck would have it then she had a day off the following day. And she was interested in making photos. I picked her up the next day at 5 AM and we shot photos till 8:30 PM. She did all this for free. She just wanted to have copies of the photos for herself. So my project officially began!
I found more models at the beaches during the day and then at night had pretty good luck at the clubs. The girls were enthusiastic about participating. And every girl worked for free!
Here is a secret you need to remember if you ever visit Brazil: girls love to have their photos taken even if it is a complete stranger taking the photo!
I wound up shooting 10 girls during my first "vacation". I returned a couple of months later to shoot another 10 girls. So 20 girls total were shot for this project and 15 of those are found inside the pages of this calendar.
Most of the girls had no prior professional modeling experience. Their backgrounds varied and included: bar manager, nail tech, dentist, phsychologist, restaurant owner, video clerk, clothing store sales, grocery clerk, and of course modelling.
I worked alone when shooting the photos. There was no crew to help with lighting reflectors or anything like that.
The girls generally wore their own bikinis although sometimes I bought bikinis if I knew I could find a better one. These were then gifted to the models.
Because I worked alone without the help of professionals then the models always did their own makeup/hair.
My camera gear consisted of a Canon 40D along with Canon lens and flash equipment. It was a pretty simple setup and the same you might buy yourself if you were into shooting amateur photography.
Shoots generally lasted a few hours but sometimes were an all day affair. I always shot at the first light of the day or near sunset when lighting was best.
Most of the girls requested I shoot them again after the first session. Some of the models I wound up shooting many times. They just liked more and more photos of themselves! Well I didn't mind shooting them so this was not a problem
I have to say this is the funnest project I have ever been involved with. Before this then I was part of the dot com world and was pretty much hating my work. In coming to Brazil I found something that is fun and that I could be good at.
you can find some of the pictures at http://www.floripacalendar.com however this is not necessarily the look we are going for.
- Item 1...layout with ease of consumer in mind
- Primary call to action for consumers to buy the calendar online
- Secondary (smaller) call to action for distributors/retailers
- blog ablility
- fresh, clean modern design utilizing pictures from the site. I can provide additional photos if requested.
- You can put sample photos and calendar months, covers too
- We will be doing a 2010 calendar as well
- Retail price is $13.99
- We will add an upsell to pre-order autographed copies of 2010. These will only be 24.99 for 2009 & 2010 together plus two times 4.99 shipping.
- Item 1...cluttered or busy designs
- cookie cutter style design
- Please use the logo's we have provided

Before your next move, consider streamlining to make your move simpler. One of the biggest mistakes many make is clinging to clutter longer than necessary. Most households acquire a host of cherished items over time. Eventually, you may find yourself surrounded by more possessions than you can handle in your next space.
Clutter can often make the upkeep and maintenance of any home a challenge. Add the stress of moving into a new environment to an explosion of excess belongings, the stress of packing and unpacking, and the worst part of moving will be intensified.
So, before you make your next move, we want to give you a few tips and ideas on what clutter to move out of your life for good.
Where to begin?
What should I let go of without question?

look out for?
Remember that any move is a process that works best with a plan and
lots of patience. Visualizing what you want helps you make a conscious decision
to live comfortably in the next place you will call home.

This summer, Wyndmoor residents have found themselves head-to-head with the Springfield Soccer Club, grappling over the future use of Willow Grove Avenue's Wyndhill Park.
While neighbors want to keep their park a quiet green, SSC hopes to turn it into an athletic field.
The conflict has incited intense discussion and insistent protest from locals as they seek to preserve their community space.
SSC vice president Steven Griet wrote in an April 30 letter that Bysher Field, where the club currently practices, has suffered from overuse. The club shares the field with groups from St. Genevieve's School.
With over 300 members, the SSC teams operate on a tight schedule, and the park requires paid maintenance at the end of each season.
Bysher Field also lacks lighting. Though the soccer season typically runs through the late autumn, early sunsets cut play short each year.
So converting Wyndhill Park to a field would relieve stress on Bysher Park. It would allow the soccer teams to finish their seasons for the first time.
The change wouldn't necessarily benefit everyone, though. In mid-May, Township Manager Donald Berger sent letters to 34 neighbors of Wyndhill Park. He requested comments on the project, and the three responses varied from affirmation to vehement opposition.
At an Aug. 4 meeting, two neighbors delivered presentations detailing their objections to the project. Both pointed out that the project would violate zoning regulations: The field is located in a Zone A district, where the Township Code doesn't specifically permit recreational facilities.
But the code doesn't expressly prohibit them, either. According to Jeffrey Harbison, Board of Commissioners president and Ward 2 commissioner, the township doesn't see the zoning concerns as relevant.
In addition to zoning issues, though, the neighbors also cited concerns of noise, safety, adequate parking and environmental damage, among others. The area around Wyndhill Park already suffers from a dearth of parking spaces, so the families arriving for soccer practices would exceed the area's capacity.
At the August meeting, Wyndmoor resident Donald Lewis presented a petition signed by 130 local taxpayers. He proposed that SSC look elsewhere for a playing surface.
Right now, they may do just that: A committee was formed to discuss other possible fields for SSC.
"One of the main disconnects at the meeting was that the township staff felt that this was the only option, while the neighbors were saying that other sites would be better," Harbison explained during a phone interview.
The committee meeting on Aug. 31 will deal with those issues, bringing neighbors up-to-speed on the situation and beginning to resolve the debate.
The Board of Commissioners will meet on Sept. 12. Until then, the Wyndhill Park project will not move forward.
Wyndmoor residents protest proposed changes at local park
This summer, Wyndmoor residents have found themselves head-to-head with the Springfield Soccer Club, grappling over the future use of Willow Grove Avenue's Wyndhill Park.

'Lovelace' wins in $10 million lawsuit over 'Deep Throat' trademarks
Just days before Lovelace is scheduled to open in theaters, The Weinstein Company and Millennium Films were sued for $10 million by the trademark rights owners of the 1972 adult film Deep Throat. But Lovelace emerged victorious on Wednesday evening.
Arrow Productions filed a complaint in a federal court in New York City on Tuesday, claiming that the new biopic of Linda Lovelace, the onetime sex star who became an anti-porn crusader, violates their copyright by using "Deep Throat" and "Linda Lovelace" without their permission.
"We are relieved that common sense prevailed," Millennium Films President Mark Gill told EW in a statement. "The suit was completely unwarranted. We believe this case was an insult to the legal safeguards in place maintaining our right to freedom of speech. It was without merit on every level. Arrow Productions' complaint was transparent about its desire to control discussion about Deep Throat — a film they describe as a 'watershed' in American popular culture — and to hinder projects that would compete with theirs. The law does not support either of these motives."
In addition to damages, Arrow asked for a court-ordered injunction that would prevent the release of the film.
"More than five minutes of footage in Lovelace are copyrighted material taken from Deep Throat," Arrow argued in the suit. "Defendants use that footage without license or permission. In fact, the title Lovelace derives its market appeal entirely from decades of cultural cache embodied in the trademarked name Linda Lovelace. … Rather than negotiating licenses for Deep Throat IP, rather than deferring to Arrow's vision for the Deep Throat brand, Defendants have simply taken what they wanted and crossed their fingers."
According to the suit, Arrow reached out to Millennium in December 2010, when pre-production details of Lovelace became public, and made them aware of their legal claims. At around that time, Arrow had licensed Deep Throat for the making of another Lovelace film, titled Inferno, the abandoned rival movie that was going to star Lindsay Lohan as the porn star.
Lovelace will be released as planned on Friday.

The Seattle Seahawks have been missing pieces along their offensive line for most of the season.
The offensive line that started the season for Seattle against the Carolina Panthers in September hasn't been on the field together since a Week 2 win over the San Francisco 49ers. They've been down as many as three starters along their line for several games over the last eight weeks causing them to delve into their depth to hold things together.
The Seahawks could finally have everyone back this Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings.
Left tackle Russell Okung is eligible to return from the short-term injured reserve list Friday after missing the last eight games with a sprained toe. Right tackle Breno Giacomini has missed the last seven games after having surgery on his knee following an injury in Week 3 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Center Max Unger missed two games to a triceps injury and also sat out Sunday's game against the Atlanta Falcons due to a concussion.
All three were back on the practice field for Seattle Wednesday and appear to be on track to play against the Vikings.
"We're really excited about the guys coming back," head coach Pete Carroll said. "There are a number of guys that returned to the practice field today, and for those guys who want to play so much and want to contribute and be part of the team, it's really exciting for them."
The return of Okung would allow Paul McQuistan, a natural guard that has been forced to get by at left tackle, to move back to his left guard position as well.
Since Okung and Giacomini have missed so much time, Carroll said they would still likely rotate them out of the game in order to ease them back into action with their bye coming next week.
"When you think if Breno and Russell can play in the game, they will not have played the full game at all. So to think that they can go out there and just handle it is probably too much to expect and we have confidence in our guys," Carroll said.
With the return of Percy Harvin also expected soon, the 9-1 Seahawks could still improve significantly heading into the final month of the regular season. That's a scary thought for the rest of the NFC that hopes to keep Seattle from earning home field advantage in the playoffs.

About blogging... I think there's an audience for every blog and should blog the way that is more convenient to you. There are blogs that I can't stand, so I just don't read them. I also like reading parenthood blogs. I'm not a parent, but I'm a big sister, so it's close enough. There's a really funny one, but it's Portuguese... It's "pedagogy of terror" and it's about a woman who accepts her shortcomings as a mom. I'd really like to hear about your experience as a mom too. :)

A good flowchart should communicate a process clearly and effectively. When starting out, it's a good idea to focus on a couple of things.
How to make a flowchart in a few simple steps:
SmartDraw can help you create a professional-looking flowchart. It's easy to use, runs on any device, and works with tools you already use. This short video shows you how it works.
Before deciding how to draw a flowchart, it's important to determine the purpose of it. Will it be used to brainstorm a product or system? Will it be used for training a new employee for a specific task or job? Is it a set of instructions to assemble a product? Will it be used as an overview for a group presentation?
If it is to serve as a working diagram for thinking through a design or programming problem, then how it is designed and drawn are of less importance than its function. In other words, how you make a flowchart look is less important than being able to read and understand it later.
On the other hand, if it is going to be used to explain a process to someone else, then you need to be very careful about how you draw a flowchart. It needs to convey the information in a way that is easy to understand. Following some basic structure and design concepts will make your flowchart easier to read and understand.
To create a flowchart in SmartDraw, select a flowchart template in the template dialog.
Every SmartDraw template has a SmartPanel docked to the left of the work area. This SmartPanel contains all the tools, libraries, and shortcuts you'll need to build a specific diagram.
In this case, you can use the SmartPanel to add new steps to your process, create split paths, adjust spacing, and more.
The first part of any flowchart is represented with a rounded or pill-shaped box. To add it to your diagram, just select it from the library and stamp once in the drawing area. To add text, simply type while the box is selected.
To go to the next step, hit the Add Right button from the SmartPanel. You can also hold down the [CTRL] key and hit the right arrow key to achieve the same effect.
Keep adding steps until your flowchart is complete. Most flowcharts flow from left to right.
If you need to add a decision, you can first select the diamond shape and then hit "Add Right" or you can also add a "Split Path" using the SmartPanel and skip the decision symbol altogether.
If the split path is a yes/no decision, you may want to make this clear by typing YES and NO in the lines of the split path. To do this, simply double-click on the line and type in the information.
If you get to a point in the process that you can go no further and you need to return to an earlier step, you can do this by drawing a line to one of the previous boxes. Just click on the Line button here at the top, select the box you want to start from and then select the box you want the line to point to. The connecting line is placed in and formatted perfectly.
If you need to move a step, just click to select it and drag it to its new position. As you move the shape, you'll notice SmartDraw's automatic connector will attempt to grab it. SmartDraw shows you a dashed outline of where your step will be if you let go of your mouse. To drop a shape into place, simply let go of your mouse. The flowchart will automatically readjust itself without any manual redrawing required.
To delete a step, just select it and hit delete. Again, SmartDraw's automation will allow the flowchart to reflow automatically.
Put details about your visual in notes instead of on your diagram for a cleaner and simpler look.
SmartDraw automatically applies professional design themes for you, but also gives you complete control to customize your process chart in any way you want.
Change the entire look of your chart by applying a new design theme with just one click.
Or change the look of individual shapes instantly by selecting a new Quick Style. Choose from more than 40 preset looks.
Once you get to the final step in a process, select the Start/End symbol from the SmartPanel and add it to the right. The first and last steps in the process are clearly distinguished from the other steps and the final flowchart is clean-looking and easy to read.
Save or share your flowchart using Dropbox®, Google Drive™, Box®, OneDrive®, and SharePoint®. Export it to Microsoft Word®, Excel®, PDF, or PowerPoint® with a single click, automatically.
In the desktop version of the product, you'll find these one-click export buttons to the upper left of the drawing area.
In the online edition, these options are located at the very beginning of the Home tab under Export.
Create your entire flowchart without taking your hands off the keyboard with quick and easy keyboard controls.
To add a shape to a flowchart, simply hold down the [Ctrl] key and use the up, down, left or right arrow key.
To create a split path after a decision step, use the [Ctrl] and right arrow key to add the first step and then simply hit the [Enter] key to add the second choice to your process.
To the right are some other keyboard shortcuts you may find useful.

This post originally appeared on my blog three years ago on June 17, 2010. As summer is in full swing once again, I thought it was a good time to revisit this topic. Has anything changed in three years?
My son started wearing a swim shirt for a few years (which I felt evened out the playing field a little bit and kept him from getting sunburned — win-win!), but then we had an unfortunate experience where his head got stuck in one while I was trying to remove it (the shirt, not his head!) and he pretty much vowed to never wear one again. Interestingly enough, my daughter (who is 9 now) no longer brings up this inequality issue. Perhaps it's because she's more aware of the difference between girls' and boys' bodies or culturally conditioned that breasts *should be* covered up. Hmmm, I might have to ask her about it sometime to see what she thinks.
June 17, 2010
As I was getting the kids ready for an afternoon of carefree fun at the pool today, my almost 6-year-old surprised me with this question, "Mom, why do girls have to wear bathing suit tops or shirts, but boys don't?"
I wanted to shout, "Patriarchy!" as I like to blame most things on the patriarchy and I know it would have made Denise proud, but somehow I was pretty sure that response wouldn't suffice.
It occurs to me now that this may be the first time she's really had to deal with inequality in the world (or the Puritanical society in which we live). Yes, I know it's only a shirt (or a bathing suit top), but this may be the first time she's realized that different rules exist for different people. That's a pretty big deal.
Back to my story. I can't recall exactly how I replied (I wasn't prepared. I didn't study! I didn't know there was going to be a test!), but it was something to the effect of blaming "the man" for making "rules" like that. She didn't think it was fair. I can't blame her. It's not.
Later that evening I mentioned her question to Twitter and asked how they would respond. I received an interesting mix of replies.
I think my favorite came from Denise (Eat Play Love) who said, "Tell her breasts make people really really nervous! ;)" I have to agree. That pretty much sums it all up right there!
Emily (Mama Days said, "best answer: men have it easier in basically everything in life ;)" While I tend to agree with this statement, it wasn't the message I'm quite ready to give to Ava.
Cassie (Cassie Boorn) said, "I totally had a fit about that when I was young. It was my first sign of feminism ;)" I get the feeling many little girls find the notion off-putting.
While Amy (Entertainment Realm) said, "I went shirtless when I didn't have any boobs i.e. at that age. no biggie." Interesting. I can recall my little sister toddling around without a shirt when she was 2 or 3, but probably not as old as 6.
InnerWizdom said that personally she wouldn't enforce that "rule" because she finds it "bogus." She added that her kids do go topless at the public pool or beach, but not in stores because nobody is supposed to go shirtless there. She also said that she doesn't know how anyone can explain to a 6-year-old "that adults see their chest as sexual, as something to hide away, even though it looks the same as a boys." Yeah, I really didn't want to get into sexuality with her at that point. Also I admire her for not "forcing" her kids to do something just because that's what society says they should do. I don't know that I could do that.
So what do you think? What would your response be if your 6-year-old daughter asked you the same question? Would you blame anatomy? Blame the patriarchy? Blame the Puritans? Blame the American prudery (as my friend's husband suggested)? Or is the answer: "that's just how it is?"

The Moab Arts Festival celebrates its 21st year May 25-26 with two days of live performances, food, activities, and, of course, a wide array of visual arts and hand-crafted items.
The festival is open Saturday, May 25 from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Sunday, May 26 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at Swanny City Park, 400 North 100 West. There is no charge for admission.
This year's vendor booths include wearable and textile arts, painting and photography, pottery and wood, glass and metal art. Other items include jewelry, woodcut prints, mobiles, hand-made drums, and henna body art, according to event organizers. Artists from across the region will offer their wares during the two-day event.
Creative activities for children are another feature of the festival. The WabiSabi Kid's Art Tent will provide hands-on art projects throughout each day. Activities at the Kid's Art Tent utilize materials that might otherwise be discarded, and include a variety of crafts such as tie-dyeing, creating t-shirt beach bags, and building butterfly mobiles.
Teachers from the Moab Arts and Recreation Center's "Messy Mondays" and "Arty Farty" summer programs will lead some of the activities, and the Youth Garden Project, Moab Teen Center/Club Red, the BEACON After-School Program, and the Moab Family Support Center will also be on hand to help kids create art projects. The Moab Charter School, Moab Valley Multicultural Center, BEACON, RSVP program and Family Support Center will also offer face painting each day.
A full schedule of activities is available in the festival's publication, which can be accessed online at www.moabartsfestival.org and will also be available at the event.
The festival also includes live entertainment throughout each day. This year, the entertainment kicks off at 10 a.m. on May 25 with a performance by folk and blues artist Bob Greenspan. Celtic and bluegrass band Wayward Molly will perform at 11:15 a.m., followed by the Moab Taiko Dan and students from the group's after-school program at Helen M. Knight Elementary School at 12:30 p.m. The weekend entertainment also includes performances by Sister Wives, Funkdafari, Jeffrey Pine, Moab's own Fiery Furnace Marching Band, and a spoken word/oral history performance by Armando Solorzano. Grassroots Shakespeare will also peform "Taming of the Shrew" on Saturday.

Senate president's beloved Broncos part of birthday celebration
What a birthday present for a guy who wore lots of Broncos sportswear during his childhood.
Senate President Brandon Shaffer clearly was surprised today when Miles, the Broncos mascot, presented him with a Peyton Manning jersey in honor of his 41st birthday.
(Speaking of 41, Majority Leader John Morse was quick to point out that the staff paid for the jersey, so there was no Amendment 41 ethics violation.)

STAMFORD -- Beetle Bailey was known to be a lazy Army private, but the creator of the popular comic strip is getting accolades from top military brass and others as he celebrates his 90th birthday.
Mort Walker is receiving well wishes from Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Connecticut Gov. Dannel P. Malloy, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Dolly Parton and even Prince Albert II of Monaco. Walker turns 90 on Sept. 3.
"Your contributions to the nation and our military men and women through your comic strip Beetle Bailey are deeply appreciated," Dempsey wrote. "For more than 60 years you have given each of us something to smile about and a way to escape the everyday stresses of life."
Walker's friend, Stewart Jacobson, plans to present Walker with his copy of a Beetle Bailey comic book from 1959 when Stewart was 10 and living in the Bronx.
Walker, who works out of his Connecticut home, told The Associated Press in 2010 as the comic strip marked its 60th anniversary that he would continue with his creation until he's no longer able.
"I don't know how I'd be retired," Walker said at the time. "I wake up every day with another idea."
Beetle and the cast of characters -- Sarge and his dog, Otto, Gen. Amos Halftrack, Miss Buxley and others -- has more than 200 million readers in 52 countries, said Jacobson, an author and producer who is organizing the celebration.

Phipps v. Toronto Police Services Board
The OHRC intervened at the Tribunal in a complaint by Ron Phipps – a case which raised some tough issues. The Tribunal ruled Phipps had been subjected to racial profiling in 2005 by a Toronto police officer. The officer stopped Phipps when he was delivering mail in an affluent Toronto neighbourhood, checked with a homeowner Phipps spoke to, trailed him and checked his identity with a White letter carrier.

Randall Collins Award Statement
Randall Collins' book offers us all at once perhaps the most comprehensive history of world philosophy yet written, a classic of comparative historical, and cultural sociology, a landmark in the sociology of knowledge, and the corner stone of a virtually new field, the sociology of philosophy. As a comparative history of philosophy, The Sociology of Philosophies covers ancient China, India, and Greece, medieval Islam and Israel, Christendom and Japan, and modern Europe. Collins employs sociological tools equally far-ranging, including universalistic and historically specified propositions, network models and historical narrative, cross-cultural and motivational generalizations. Among the works innovations are a mess-level focus on the social structure of philosophical communities themselves, a macroscopic focus and the interrelations of communities across time and space, and a microscopic theory of scholarly creative energies. Although the title's claim for a philosophy of intellectual life seems to me overextended, a claim for the first general sociology of philosophy ever may be made, indeed a claim for a sociology of philosophies with enormous implications for theorizing about intellectual life more generally—in scholarship. Science and so on. Little is to be gained by saying much more about the book to an audience that should feel compelled to enter its pages.

Facebook's iPhone-optimised website is one of the best around, so we had high hopes for the native application. It's certainly faster than the web app, and it feels slicker and more consistent with the iPhone's user interface.
While the very first release lacked a few features that many regarded as essential – no way to write on walls, or see users' photos, things the web app were perfectly capable of – the quickly-released 1.1 version of the app added in these and more. There's a dedicated photo capture button that can upload your photos directly to Facebook, too, and of course you can now upload photos that you've taken previously. Once the Push Notification Server is rolled out, this will get even better, especially with Facebook Chat.

The first step in the career decision-making process is to gain a solid understanding of yourself. This process is often referred to as self-assessment or self-exploration. More of your time will be spent at work than any other activity in your life, so taking the time to discover a satisfying occupation is a worthwhile investment.
Below are some exercises to help you get started, and you can also schedule an appointment with a career counselor to discuss these topics more in-depth. If you are interested, ask your counselor about taking two assessment inventories that the Career Center offers, the Strong Interest Inventory and Myers-Briggs Personality Type Indicator, which can help clarify your preferences and how they correlate with career options.
The ''right'' job is very much a matter of individual preference, and it's helpful to examine your preferences in the following four areas:
- What are my interests?
- What are my strengths and skills?
- What are the values that are most important to me?
- What are my personality characteristics?
If you can find a career that you truly find interesting and enjoyable, you will be more likely to achieve success and find job satisfaction. A good way to identify your interests is to examine how you enjoy spending your free time. Some areas in which you might identify interests include hobbies, school involvement, academic courses, social interactions, and recreational activities. While some of your interests may remain hobbies and not directly relate to an occupation (such as playing chess for example), other interests may have elements which can become incorporated into your career. For example, if you enjoy cooking but do not want to be a chef, you may consider restaurant management, television production for a cooking show, or publishing for a company that specializes in producing cookbooks. Similarly, if you enjoy sports but do not plan to be a professional athlete, you might consider sports management, coaching, or teaching physical education.
Exercise #1
List 10 things you enjoy doing and why you enjoy them. Look at your list, take the five top interests, and brainstorm five careers that use at least one of those interests.
Skills refer to those strengths, abilities, and talents that you possess, learn or develop. While we may be born with a proclivity toward certain areas (e.g., an ear for music, an eye for art, an aptitude for numbers), most people develop skills through hands-on experience. Negotiating, influencing, writing, reading, researching, observing, analyzing, organizing, communicating, and motivating are all examples of functional skills gained through a variety of activities which can be transferred to many careers. Gaining experience and sharpening these skills will be important throughout your career development.
Different occupations will often demand a particular set of skills, so it's important to know your strengths and weaknesses. For example, if you are great with numbers but do not feel confident in your ability to write, you may do better in a position dealing with budgets rather than writing press releases. If you excel in public speaking and communicating effectively with others face-to-face, you may not be happy in a job sitting behind a computer all day in a cubicle.
Exercise #2
Think about your academic career and evaluate the courses in which you have excelled. Do you always tend to do well in certain subjects? Do you enjoy those subjects? In which extracurricular activities do you excel, and what skills do you employ? What skills did you use in jobs you enjoyed? List 5-10 things that you did well, that gave you some sense of satisfaction, or that you enjoyed doing from any area of your life. Write down as many skills as you can think of that you utilized in performing each accomplishment. Are there any patterns; if so, what are they?
Values are those principles, standards and qualities that you consider worthwhile, desirable and satisfying at work. For some people values are the strongest influences in choosing a career. For example, although you may have a talent for numbers and enjoy following the stock market, the values of helping others and contributing to the Jewish community may cause you to choose a career in Jewish Outreach Work (Kiruv). Or you may have an interest in art, but financial constraints may lead you to pursue a career in a more lucrative field while still allowing you to appreciate art as a hobby. There are many different work values that people consciously or unconsciously want in their career. Autonomy, job security, high income, achievement, leadership, prestige, ethics, creativity, responsibility, helping others, and advancement are examples of values. Taking an inventory of your values will help you in your search for a potential career.
Exercise #3
Rank the following in order of most important to least important:
- Job security
- Opportunity for high income
- Helping others
- Prestige
- Independence/Autonomy
- Creativity
- Responsibility/Advancement
- Reasonable hours/Leisure time (work-life balance)
As you begin to research and explore career options, consider which values you ranked as most important. Ensure that these values will be met by the occupation and industry you choose.
The last factor to consider in choosing possible career options is personality style. Everyone has a way of being and acting in the world that can be successful given the appropriate arena. For example, someone whose natural style is to work alone, utilizing analysis and logic in a highly structured environment, may excel and feel comfortable working in a position such as a computer systems analyst/designer or an accountant. That same individual may not be well-suited for a career in sales or social service, where extensive interaction with others is required and the hours can be erratic. Knowing your personality strengths and your natural work style can increase your chances of finding not only a satisfying career, but also a satisfying work environment.
Exercise #4
Stop by the Career Center and review the book ''Do What You Are'' to learn about your personality style and how it relates to possible career choices. You can also consider asking a counselor to administer the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, an online assessment which can help you develop a deeper understanding of your personality across several areas.
Once you have determined your interests, identified your skills, prioritized your values, and discovered your personality style, it is helpful to review this information and ascertain whether or not there are conflicts, complementary patterns, or recurring themes. Then you want to begin your research stage, where you explore career fields to learn which areas might be a fit for you. It is common at this stage to be a little unsure about how to narrow down which options you should consider. Talking to a career counselor who is knowledgeable about the world of work can be helpful as you work together to brainstorm career possibilities that fit with your profile.

Driving this insanely-powered Mustang would certainly be a blast, just ask Ray Wert. But would you go 3,000 miles in it if you were footing the fuel bill?
Welcome to Morning Would, where we present you with some of the most desirable, controversial cars ever built and ask what you would do to drive one.
Cross-country road trips are an undeniable part of the fabric of Americana. Wide, open roads and nothing to see but prairie for miles and miles. You've either done one or you dream of going one day, if you only had the time and the right car.
Well, the Mustang is about as American as orthodontics (we invented it, look it up). And the Shelby GT500 is the most powerful factory Mustang ever made, with 662 hp on tap flowing to some fat rear wheels. It's a monster to drive, but it's also a monster at the pump. It sucks fuel like baby that just discovered soda. Would you pay for its massive petrol consumption if you got to drive it from coast to coast? Let us know in the comments below.

Life on Titan?
Titan, Saturn's largest moon, is a mysterious place. Its thick atmosphere is rich in organic compounds. Some of them would be signs of life if they were on our planet.
How do they form on Titan? Will they help us to discover how life began on Earth?
Titan's atmosphere is mostly nitrogen but there are also methane and many other organic compounds. Organic compounds form when sunlight destroys methane. If sunlight is continuously destroying methane, how is methane getting into the atmosphere?
On Earth today, it is life itself that refreshes the methane supply. Methane is a by-product of the metabolism of many organisms. On Earth, the simplest biological sources, such as those associated with peat bogs, rice fields and ruminant animals, continuously supply fresh gas to replace that destroyed by oxidation. Could this mean there is life on Titan?
Titan is not a pleasant place for life. It is far too cold for liquid water to exist, and all known forms of life need liquid water. Titan's surface is -180°C. According to one exotic theory, long ago, the impact of a meteorite, for example, might have provided enough heat to liquify water for perhaps a few hundred or thousand years.
However, it is unlikely that Titan is a site for life today. But scientists are still currently puzzled by the amount of methane that persists in Titan's atmosphere. Could there be oceans of methane on or under the surface?

So, back in April, I participated in an art show at the University of Utah. While the show itself was a marginal success (more a show about technology than art, really), I did have the chance to sketch some cool faces from the crowd while sitting on a post-show question-and-answer panel.
Here are some of the faces from those couple of weekends:
Also in April (every April, as a matter of fact), the LDS church holds a general conference during which leaders speak on various gospel-related topics. This year's was the 178th Annual General Conference, since the conferences have been going ever since 1830 (well, we take breaks...they don't happen all year round). Pretty cool, huh. Below are some sketches made while watching conference (which is broadcast by satellite and over the internet).
Something that was interesting for me was making these sketches almost in the complete dark. I could see the screen, which was several hundred feet away, but I could barely see my own paper--leading to an interesting method of scrawling out shapes and chunks of value. I guess drawing in the dark probably isn't really good for your eyes, but it was a cool chance to try a different way of seeing things (by not seeing them, I guess). Plus the results are mostly a surprise, since you can't really see what's going on while you're drawing--talk about a sketch adventure! Below are some of the more intelligible images that were created using this method. Hope you enjoy! And I promise to be better about posting a little more frequently...(these are from April...oops).
