GPS tracking is an amazing technology that evolves constantly for new uses beyond navigation. The law enforcement community and businesses have begun using GPS tracking in ways that worry privacy experts.
Because GPS tracking allows someone to unobtrusively monitor a vehicle in real time, some question if the practice is ethical.
Monitoring Devices
Nicole Ritchie had one because she drove drunk. Lindsey Loan wore one during rehab and after for her legal problems related to substance abuse. Football star Michael Vick wore a bracelet after he got out of prison for his role in a dog-fighting ring.
The criminal justice system commonly uses GPS monitoring devices to track individuals on probation, parole or house arrest for a variety of crimes. In several states, registered sex offenders are required to wear a tracking bracelet even if they are no longer under state supervision.
These monitoring devices are designed to be intrusive. While someone convicted of a crime may prefer electronic monitoring, it is not a foolproof system. If someone removes the bracelet or if its battery is not charged, the bracelet is useless.
Sex offenders who are no longer under any sort of legal restriction are not likely to be inclined to keep the bracelet on and in working order. This leads some members of the public to question if it is cost-effective or even useful to continuing this monitoring.
What is fleet tracking? When a business has multiple vehicles driven by employees, it often installs GPS tracking on each vehicle. Aside from the obvious benefit of routing vehicles and locating them if stolen, employers are using the trackers to increase worker productivity.
With GPS tracking, businesses can tell how fast employees drive, the number of times the vehicle has stopped, as well as the location. Because employers can purchase systems that broadcast in real time, they immediately know when an employee spends an excessive time at a service call, parked in one location or on lunch break. Employees may not like this tracking, but most employers inform employees. Employees are free to accept the policy or find other employment.
Under Cover Surveillance
Police have conducted surveillance on criminal suspects for years. Previously, most surveillance relied on someone following someone and taking photographs or video. Now, a person can be under surveillance without someone physically following them. Courts have ruled that police don't need a warrant to place GPS tracking devices on the vehicle of a person of interest.
If someone parks a car and goes inside a building, police or anyone else can place a small tracking device under the bumper or in some other location not highly visible. From this device, they may be able to track the vehicle in real time. On other occasions, police retrieve the device the same way they placed it and then have location data to use. Expect continued court battles over whether this type of surveillance continues to be possible without a warrant.
Any technology has benefits and drawbacks. GPS tracking is no different. We have security of mind knowing we have directions to our next destination. Unfortunately, the same device allows others to identify where we are going and when. A balance of safety and privacy is important in the use of this technology.
Peggy Crippen, a guest blogger, regularly writes about business and technology, including GPS tracking.

John Werry needed a new other design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 10 designs submitted by 3 freelance designers.
Auction Thumbs
Auction Thumbs is a Wordpress plugin for bloggers. Our approach has been to design a visually-unobtrusive thumbnail-based way for bloggers to make more affiliate revenue from their blogging.
Most competitive solutions take up a lot of space and make blogs look like shopping carts. We simply display thumbnails without captions and use mouseover to display the product details. We want the blog to remain clean and uncluttered with product sales pitches.
Product is 3-4 years old and I am targeting existing customers and new customers with a new 2.0 version of the product and a visual redesign will be part of the upgrade.
Self-hosted Wordpress blog owners purchase our plugin and install it on their blogs.
There are two separate groups of images that need to be redesigned - vertical and horizontal.
Wow me with a visual design that meets the following criteria:
- Does not look busy or complicated
- Needs to be colors/design that are clean lines and neutral in colors. This product runs as-is on many different websites that have their own unique design. This should not clash.
- Realize that this should fit in on car blogs, electronics blogs, horse blogs or cooking blogs. It should not be a "manly" design or a "feminine" design. Think how Apple designs products cleanly and for any gender.
- The vertical and Horizontal groupings should have a design that is complimentary or identical. I don't want them to look like two completely different products on the same page.
- You must also design the look of the mouseover text. Go to the demo page and hover your mouse over any of the thumbnail images and see the textbox that appears. http://auctionthumbs.com/2008/10/sa…humbs.html. Also see attached mouseover.jpg image.
Pay attention to the comments in the attached athumbs.jpg image. The captions mention how things are today and you do not need to stick to the same assumptions if you feel there is a better design.
If you have the additional skills to produce the css and html, we can talk about an additional fee to produce these, but it is not required.

History and Update
Controlled access to IT Resources is essential for Purdue University to continue its mission of learning, discovery, and engagement. This policy describes a comprehensive approach to Authentication and Authorization that can support current needs for electronic access and accommodate future services and technologies by employing standardized mechanisms for Identification, Authentication, and Authorization.
This policy is guided by the following objectives:
- To ensure that Purdue can, without limitation, operate and maintain its IT Resources;
- To ensure that Purdue can, without limitation, protect the security and functionality of University IT Resources and the data stored on those resources;
- To protect the University's other property, rights, and resources;
- To preserve the integrity and reputation of the University;
- To safeguard the privacy, property, rights, and data of users of University IT Resources;
- To comply with applicable existing federal, state, and local laws; and
- To comply with existing University policies, standards, guidelines, and procedures.
Access Control. Identification, Authentication, and Authorization are controls that facilitate access to and protect University IT Resources and data. Access to non-public IT Resources will be achieved by unique User Credentials and will require Authentication.
Purdue University will assign a Purdue University Identifier (PUID) and User Credentials for Identification and Authentication purposes to each individual that has a business, research, or educational need to access University IT Resources.
Authorization for University IT Resources depends on the individual's relationship, or relationships, to the University and the requirements associated with that relationship. In all cases, only the minimum privileges necessary to complete required tasks are assigned to that individual. Privileges assigned to each individual will be reviewed on a periodic basis and modified or revoked upon a change in status with the University.
No Unencrypted Authentication. Unencrypted Authentication and Authorization mechanisms are only as secure as the network they use. Traffic across the network may be surreptitiously monitored, rendering these Authentication and Authorization mechanisms vulnerable to compromise. Therefore, all University IT Resources must use only encrypted Authentication and Authorization mechanisms unless otherwise authorized by the director of the Identity and Access Management Office.
Users of University IT Resources must comply with this policy and related standards and expiry periods issued by the University in support of this policy.
Centralized and departmental IT units and IT Resource owners are responsible for ensuring appropriate enforcement of this policy and related standards on University IT Resources within their areas of responsibility. The formal Security Policy/Procedure Exception Form must be filed and approved by the director of the Identity and Access Management Office for any University IT Resource that is unable to comply with these policy requirements.
Violations of this policy or any other University policy or regulation may result in the revocation or limitation of IT Resource privileges as well as other disciplinary actions, or may be referred to appropriate external authorities.
This policy covers students, faculty, staff, and all individuals or entities using any University IT Resources and all uses of such IT Resources.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
For most of his latest term as prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu has presided over a unity government that leaned to the right. But polls conducted just weeks ahead of the January 22 general election show Israel may be heading toward a full right-wing revolution.
As with any election season, polls are being conducted nearly every day, and they are all showing the same trend - the two nationalist parties to the right of Netanyahu's Likud are steadily gaining, seemingly at the expense of every other party, excluding the far left Meretz and the Arab parties.
In particular, the Jewish Home Party is now predicted to become the Knesset's second largest faction behind Likud. An Israel Radio survey broadcast on Thursday put Likud at 35 seats and both Jewish Home and the left-wing Labor Party at 18 seats each in the next Knesset.
Jewish Home, which is the successor of Israel's National Religious Party, has only three seats in the current Knesset, but has experienced a huge surge in popularity following the election of charismatic entrepreneur Naftali Bennett as the new party leader several months ago.
Left-wing media attacks against Bennett in recent weeks appear only to have strengthened his appeal.
The rise of Jewish Home and Bennett is also seen as being tied to a general weariness among Israelis for the failed, but lingering land-for-peace process with the Palestinian Authority.
Polls show that while nearly half of all Israelis remain ready to divide the land for the sake of peace, most do not believe that such a gesture will result in genuine peace and end the conflict. Many, like Bennett, have cited Israel's surrender of the Gaza Strip and its subsequent transformation into a terrorist haven and missile platform as evidence that land-for-peace is dead.
Instead, Bennett is advocating annexation of those parts of Judea and Samaria (the "West Bank") where Jews live, while granting autonomy to the Palestinian-dominated areas. He says the creation of a sovereign and independent Palestinian Arab state in Judea and Samaria is out of the question.

Who we are; what we do
Summer dreams aside, we Americans are working people. In our economy, employment is a blessing and unemployment a curse. That's so true that the unemployment rate — 8.3 percent nationally as August began — could cost Barack Obama his job as president.
Maryland's unemployment rate of 7 percent is under the national average. But it's high enough that a job is a job — and a good job is cause for rejoicing.
It's not 100 percent true that we are what we do. Still, that's one of the first questions we ask one another.
As Labor Day approaches, Bay Weekly's inquiring reporters ask that question of neighbors erratically, if not randomly, chosen. Each answer is a story in itself; together, they tell us a lot about who, collectively, we are.
This year, we've hit on a lode of people who work in small businesses (including a fire department and the city of Annapolis), many within their own family. Independence and responsibility: Is that the American dream? Maybe so.
For sure, this year's story tells us that a good job helps you do your best, for yourself and for other people.
Now, here comes the parade.

|Gordon, Gracie and Dale Bowen take a break from the family business at Bowen's Grocery.
At 83 years old, Bowen's Grocery is in for the long haul.
"Walmart beat us up a little bit, but we came back," says third-generation grocer Gordon Bowen, as he knocks on wood.
Its owners are in for the long haul, too. Except for Sunday mass, one Bowen is always on the job.
"Retirement is not in his vocabulary," said Gracie of husband Gordon. "So do I have a choice?" She does the office work.
Gordon opens up, makes coffee, stocks the shelves and runs the register while visiting with customers and suppliers. He is Bowen's public face. "It's in my blood," Gordon says.
And running strong. Son Dale runs the store's meat department. It's an old-fashioned, full-service butcher offering locally raised meat custom-cut for the freezer or for dinner.
A life-size fiberglass bull on the roof underscores Bowen's dedication to quality meat. It was once stolen by a college fraternity. After 13 months, guilt got the best of one of the frat boys, who returned it with an apology.
"It's my best advertising piece ever," Gordon says.
A neighborhood grocery like Bowen's is more than a place to buy meat. Kids come by after school for hand-dipped ice cream and seasonal candy. Santa comes every Christmas Eve. If the community springs a leak, Bowen's plugs it.
"The community supports us and we support them," Gracie says.
She might say more, but then Gordon says "Back to work!"

|Frank Cleary Jr. and Rich Cleary behind the tasting bar at Friday's Creek Winery.
Friday's Creek is a family affair. Rich is the artist, Frank Jr. is the businessman, and Frank Sr. is the man with a dream.
"We want to be a part of the local movement," says Rich, the wine master, who is also an Anne Arundel County firefighter. "We want the wines to be an expression of Calvert County and Southern Maryland."
Friday's Creek wine is aged in American oak barrels from grapes seven-eighths Maryland-grown, a significant proportion in a state where grapes are hard to encourage. The family travels to local festivals and farmers markets. They partner with local businesses and nonprofits, from End Hunger in Calvert to All Saints Church.
"We are a small winery and have to have limits," explains Frank Jr. "We want to focus our energy on supporting the local community who supports us."
This venture grew from Frank Sr. and Rich's home hobby. The winery is housed in an old tobacco barn. The first vines were planted in 2005. Now the Calvert winery produces 3,500 gallons of wine each year.

|Annapolis Mayor Josh Cohen hopes to get to work on reinvigorating City Dock.
"I love local government, and I love Annapolis," says Josh Cohen, who's well into his third year in a job where he gets to make "more of a difference" than he could in his five years as an alderman.
But it's not without its challenges, which Cohen, diplomatically, describes as also his city's "blessings: very active, engaged and opinioned stakeholders."
In such an environment, he says, "Building consensus and shared vision is not always the easiest thing."
Harder still, he say, is "time management, because I know my kids are only going to be young once."
Dreams get deferred in real life, and Cohen's — improving his hometown's quality of life — took a back seat to getting the city's fiscal house in order in his first couple years as mayor.
"We were out of cash. The situation was dire," he says.
"Stabilizing city finances, balancing the budget and putting money back in the rainy-day funds," he says, opens the door to long-term projects.
High on that list is recovering the "amazing resource, City Dock" from "two acres of asphalt parking to an attraction in and of itself for locals and tourists."
Getting there means resolving his biggest nuisance, Market House, "so that once it's reopened it will be the quality centerpiece downtown."

|For the past eight years, C.J. Fegan has been working alongside his father, Charlie, in his 33-year-old taxidermy business.
Putting pieces together like a puzzle, working 10- to 12-hour shifts, often seven days a week with no fringe benefits — except the satisfaction of perfection in a job well done — is what Charlie Fegan and son C.J. do. Taxidermy as they practice it is a fine art. Sewing heads and ears back on, working on mounts for three days without sleep before a competition and making the eyes come alive are all in a day's work.
"It's a natural high for me," Charlie says.
He placed first in the world taxidermy championship in 1995. After competing with dad, C.J. got the bug. He stuffed his first rabbit at age 11. Dad's been in business for 33 years, eight of them with C.J.
Regular customers like Anne Arundel County Sen. John Astle and Running Creek Winery owner Mike Scarborough — both African big game hunters — keep the Fegans' business booming. As do local hunters.
Showroom and workshop total 2,400 square feet. The workshop is full of tools, chemicals, photos, mounts in progress. Fourteen full freezers fill the shed, and the backroom workshop is big enough to accommodate a giraffe.
"Rednecks are serious about their mounts," C.J. says.
Both clients and judges look at the horns first, then the eyes.
"It's all in the eyes," says C.J. "We're judged on the closest a mount looks to being alive, and that starts with the eyes."
Charlie's speciality is fowl. C.J. prefers deer and game heads.
Their motto: You snuff it, we stuff it. Satisfaction guaranteed.
"You get what you pay for, especially in taxidermy," says the elder Fegan. "I want people to look at my work and say Remember Charlie? He did this."

"I've been growing flowers all my life," says Bill Doepkins, as he breaks from arranging vases of wedding flowers to explain how flowers replaced tobacco in the fields of his 220-acre, third-generation farm. "I love growing them. Dad liked them, and Grandpa — who raised crops of tomatoes and potatoes — did too." In the 1990s — before the state paid tobacco farmers to shift crops — this third-generation farmer saw the writing on the wall. Starting with field mums, he was growing cutting flowers commercially by 2000, along with raising Red Angus beef, chickens for eggs and hay.
Doepkins sighs over the number of varieties of flowers painting his fields in brilliant stripes. "Thirty at least," including amaranth, dahlias, sunflowers, celosias, Queen Anne's lace and his favorite, snapdragons.
They're cut every morning, gathered in the shed for trimming and arranged in vases and bouquets for sale on the farm and at Whole Foods Markets in Annapolis and Washington.
Come October, murals of mums bloom in his fields. Then Doepkins Farms switches to pumpkins, ending the year with a Christmas store.
"We don't raise cats," Doepkins says, with an expansive gesture that takes in a variety of gray, black and white cats of all ages, going about their own business. "But we need them to keep down the mice in the barns."

|"With brewing, I have the freedom to create, and I love what I do," says Matt Glass. "I haven't punched a time clock in 12 years."
Matt Glass flipped his life 12 years ago, when he went from amateur brewer to pro.
At age 30, Glass — a reluctant lawyer — admitted music wasn't his future. He took up home brewing as a hobby. That was 1986, and his timing was perfect.
"The craft beer revolution was in full swing," says Glass, who improved his skills with correspondence courses from the Siebel Institute in Chicago.
At Ruddy Duck, he's an award-winner.
"Every beer submitted wins a medal," he says of his collection of awards. Prime among them is his 2010 Best in Show, Best Beer in Maryland won at the Governor's Cup for his Helles beer, a mainstream light beer.
Glass brews five beers year-round. They're "carved in stone." Four others are seasonal by whim.
His current favorite is Biere Nouveau, made with sorghum, honey and quinoa but no malt or hops. The brew is his outreach to people who are gluten-intolerant.
"We hit a home-run with it," Glass says. "It's a low-calorie, healthy alternative for everyone."
"With brewing, I have the freedom to create, and I love what I do. It's a great job," says Glass. "I haven't punched a time clock in 12 years."
Glass retreats to his home on the Outer Banks most Fridays through Mondays.
"It's crunch time all week," he says. "Then I get to relax a little."

|"What other job do you know where you can run your mouth all day, get paid for it, make your customers beautiful and happy?" asks hairstylist Kauilani Goodwyn.
"My job is a change from what I got my degree in, chemical engineering," says Kauilani Goodwyn. "I went to school with the idea of starting my own beauty line of naturally derived products, so Aveda is a company that's a good fit for me. I've got my own little color-mixing lab here.
"My husband wasn't so happy with my direction until he understood my earning potential. Then he thought the job was great. We have a child, and we've just bought a house.
"I love my job. I like working with people, and when my customers leave, they feel good about themselves and ready to take on the world," she says.
"What other job do you know where you can run your mouth all day, get paid for it, make your customers beautiful and happy?"

|"My dad taught me when I was young — 13, 14 years old," says drywaller Tom Hedges. Snice then, he's been running the family drywall business for 36 years.
By 17, Tom Hedges knew "everything there was to know about drywall."
"My dad taught me when I was young — 13, 14 years old," he says.
He's learned a lot more in 36 years, running his father's business, Robert M. Hedges & Sons, with his two brothers since 1978.
Hedges Drywall handles all manner of residential and commercial work, from 13 sheets to 1,300.
"Every job is different," he says, and that's what he likes. He especially likes being the last in a house, handling touch-ups, and seeing how the construction came together. Today's renaissance of rounded corners and archways is a challenge he enjoys.
The downside? "When nobody's building."
Before the economy tanked, Hedges had 18 employees; today, it's seven, including a few who've worked with the Hedges family for more than 25 years.
Besides drywalling, there's nothing Hedges would rather do — except "fishing and crabbing."

|"I love the freedom my own company gives me," says house painter Nehemias Geronimo Jimenez. "I love meeting new people, making new friends and just doing a good job."
Nehemias Geronimo Jimenez served seven years in the Mexican military, attaining the rank of captain, when he decided he wanted more independence and opportunity. Arriving in this country with a work permit 10 years ago, he found that the house painting and finish carpentry business could give him that.
Four years ago, he started the Geronimo Painting Company in Annapolis.
"I love the freedom my own company gives me," he says. "And I love meeting new people, making new friends and just doing a good job."
Only the high ladders Jimenez has to sometimes climb give him pause as he works toward citizenship, developing his company and enjoying his family.

|"Every day is a learning experience," says EMT Michael Lanier, who started hanging out at the Huntingtown fire department when he was 15.
At 15, Michael Lanier started hanging out at Huntingtown Fire and Rescue with a volunteering neighbor.
He loved the people, the place and the work.
"I just got attached to it," Lanier says. "Every day is a learning experience."
After a year of training, at age 16 he was a probationer, able to go out on calls.
In a year on the job, he's won an award for going out on more than 200 calls.
His strangest call was for a peacock stuck in a tree.
"We didn't really save it," Lanier admits. "We just stood there and waited, and it never came down."
His most dramatic call was a motorcycle accident on Huntingtown Road in June. With all the sirens, lights and people, and a life hanging in the balance, "it was crazy," the young EMT says.
Most calls at Huntingtown seek EMT response to car accidents and medical emergencies.
Calvert County is the last remaining county in Maryland where the fire department is 100 percent volunteer.
Lanier aspires to work at a paid fire department in a nearby county, Anne Arundel or Prince George's.
"It's very hard to get into a paid department. You have to be over-physically fit, and so many people are applying all the time," he says. So he's set his goal high.

|"When I first became a bank manager, people were hesitant to accept me because I was so young," recalls Monica Vasquez. "But when they discovered I could solve problems, things began going very smoothly."
A chance encounter with a grandparent's reflexology book. Love of people. Fibromyalgia. These forces led Beth Terrence to become a shaman.
When Terrence could make no further physical progress on fibromyalgia, she focused on the emotions and spirit — the province of shamanic work that has been part of indigenous cultures for thousands of years.
The shamanic journey lets clients access the insights of their inner healer. The journey's nature-based images help people feel their connections with all things.
"My work is an adventure in awareness, awakening and transformation," says Terrence. "To witness that transformation is an incredible gift that I feel so grateful for."
Terrence's work is a challenge, because it's so "experiential," she says, finding words — hence "marketing and making the work accessible to others is an ongoing exploration."

|"When I first became a bank manager, people were hesitant to accept me because I was so young," recalls Monica Vasquez. "But when they discovered I could solve problems, things began going very smoothly."
Problem solving came naturally. Skill with numbers was a talent Monica Vasquez discovered when she went to work as a new teller at the Annapolis branch of the Bank of America. Armed with those skills, in three years she worked her way up to assistant manager at the branch in Glen Burnie.
"I love problem solving," she says. "When I first became a manager, the people I supervised were hesitant to accept me because I was so young. But when they discovered I could quickly solve any problems they had with the accounting systems or their numbers, things began going very smoothly."
Now she's on her way up the career ladder. "I'm attending college to get my accounting degree," she says, "hoping to eventually move into the bank's corporate offices."

The research casts doubt on the idea that motivation continuously increases in proportion to how close we are to achieving a goal, instead suggesting we lose motivation at about the halfway point. Motivation, the researchers say, only picks back up when we switch from thinking about "how far we've come" to "how close we are."According to Miguel Brendl, co-author of the study and an associate professor of marketing at Kellogg, motivation is all relative.
The danger of getting "stuck" occurs because of a shift in perception as we approach completion. When you're in the early stages of a project, you reflect on your progress ("Look at all the great work we've done!"). As you get closer to your goal, around the halfway point, your frame of reference shifts. You reflect on how much work there is to go ("Look at how close we are to being done!"). If we don't make that shift we're in real danger of getting stuck.
"What we're saying is that the perception of the next steps toward a goal is different depending on how close we are to the goal," Brendl says. "There's a perceptual element in how we get motivated." When we perceive that our efforts will yield good progress, we feel more motivated, he points out. But when we feel like our efforts will yield little progress, our motivation wanes. Our perception of progress depends on how we measure it. Do we look to how far we have to go? Or how much we have already accomplished?
So what can you do to get your team through the middle and on toward your goal?
Brendl has advice for individuals likely to be stuck in the middle en route to their own goals, such as training to run a marathon or learning conversational Italian: "Early in your pursuit of your goal, look backwards at what you have achieved; toward the end, look forward."
There's much more to the study, including tips for how to overcome getting stuck and a great chart illustrating the "stuck-in-the-middle" pattern, at Kellogg's Insight Blog.
Have you observed this pattern in yourself or on a team? How'd you get "unstuck"?

It was Kendall Jenner's 17th birthday the other day, and wow, what an affair. Her party had a Winter Wonderland theme and those crazy Kardashians even brought in fake snow to coat their California lawn. Not that anyone cares, but for my 17th birthday, I'm pretty sure I drove my mom's minivan to the nearby Chili's to hang with my friends. Kids these days -- they're so spoiled.
Anyway! We won't begrudge Kendall for having a kick-ass party. She seems like a kind-hearted, down-to-earth teen who's just trying to figure out who she is in the shadows of her older half-sisters, and her (shudder) mother. So, since I'm pretty sure that present we sent her got lost in the mail, here are 17 reasons we love Kendall.
- She's a hustler. Remember that dog-walking scam she* pulled on Bruce? And that time she followed up on the repair of her Range behind Bruce's back?
- She's friends with her younger sister, Kylie. As someone with a few sisters of her own, I know it's not easy to always want your lil sis hanging around, especially in those high school years. But on the show, she and Kylie seem to be inseparable. It's sweet.
- She puts Kim in her place. When they went to NY to get Kendall a modeling gig, she wasn't afraid to tell Kim to back the eff off.
- She's really pretty. What! She is! We can admire her good looks, can't we?
- She's sweet with Mason. This is just too cute.
- She has a sense of humor. She almost got us when she "went blonde."
- She's got a healthy body image. Staying active is her favorite way to stay slim.
- She's a hard worker. Modeling ain't easy (so I've heard models say) and Kendall seems to work, and werk, really hard.
- A really hard worker. She's only 17 and has her own fashion line.
- She's smart about dating. Kendall only wanted to go on double dates -- safety in numbers! Love it.
- She rocks tan lines. Only a few more years that she can get away with this, but hey, when you're 17, you can do stuff like this.
- She likes meeting new people. Apparently, it was her favorite thing about going to school.
- She gives solid advice. Evidently she told Kylie to lay off the makeup.
- She loves lotion. I'm sorry, that's just too funny to pass up.
- She's a Scorpio. The so-called most powerful sign of the zodiac, Scorpios are strong, emotional, and sexual beings.
- She's a cheerleader. Aw, how down-home is that?
- She volunteers. Kendall's got an altruistic spirit and says that volunteering gives her a new perspective.
Are you a Kendall fan?

What I'm going to try to do is to be able to show the faculty and grad students around here how easy it is to get a significant performance improvement by using CUDA as compared to using their normal i386 or x86_64 processors. The actual performance improvement isn't that important because even if it's just a 2X improvement it will be easy to justify. I'm expecting it to be a lot more because much of what goes on around here has already been ported and summarized on the CUDA web site with >=10X improvements. Then, once I've hooked the faculty I'll get them to buy a high-end card to get maximum performance. -- Jon Forrest Research Computing Support College of Chemistry 173 Tan Hall University of California Berkeley Berkeley, CA 94720-1460 510-643-1032 jlforrest at berkeley.edu

Abstract: History of Portraiture in the West - Portraits: Human Introspection
Most people never stop to wonder why we have people's faces on our coins and bills. The history of portraiture in the West is a fascinating study of the way in which cultures view themselves, as seen by the way individuals in each culture portray themselves. Beginning in the Ancient Near East and Egypt, progressing through Ancient Greece and Rome to the modern day, we explore together the development of portraiture right up to today. Together we trace the development of portraits from ancient coinage through European history to photography and videography

Undecided about your major?
Get advising at the Office of New Student & Family Programs!
Many students come to college undecided about their major. Some research suggests that 70% of students will change majors before they graduate - suggesting that even more students are undecided than they realize when they begin college.
The Office of New Student & Family Programs provides advising for all students (even if you're past your first year) who haven't picked a major yet, or who may be unsure of their initial choice of major. If you're considering a couple different majors, we can refer you to resources who can offer more information about different programs.
Check out the following site for more information on strategies to pick a major, or listen to some of our students - as they explain how they selected their major.
When you make an appointment with an undecided advisor, come prepared by completing the steps below:
- Fill out an [PDF] Advising Worksheet (171 KiB)
- Log onto E-services. Go to Grades & Transcripts, and select Interactive Degree Audit (this is your DARS report). Print your DARS, noting what Goal Areas you have left to fulfill. Bring this to your appointment.
- Review your Undergraduate Bulletin. Check out any majors of interest. Use the list of [PDF] General Education Courses (192 KiB) to come up with ideas for courses you may like to take to complete remaining Goal Areas.
- Create a list of courses you would like to take next semester. Include backup courses.

You're totally going to school for the meal plans and midterms, right? Yes, feeding yourself is important, and hitting the books will (hopefully) pay off in the form of a perfect GPA. But you'd be kidding yourself if you tried to tell the world you aren't at least a little bit curious about college parties. So, without further ado, here's your best/worst throwdown breakdown.
1. You get to dance
Whether from the speakers of a local DJ's pro setup or a classmate's laptop, the music will be blaring—which means you'll have every reason to bust a move! Don't be afraid to dab while showing off your best Cupid Shuffle.
2. You'll have the most random conversations
Chatting up new people at parties may read as intimidating, but, believe me, the sound bites are so worth it. I once had a conversation with a guy who swore he was best friends with a famous rapper. Did I believe him? No. Do my friends and I still talk about it? You bet.
3. There's always more than one
Party hopping's where it's at! Even if Party #1 feels like the best night of your life, there's a strong chance Party #2 is equally promising. Grab your squad, roam the block, and leave no party unattended.
4. Weeknight parties are a thing
Partying doesn't have to be a weekend-only sport. In college, every night comes with its own reason to celebrate! Taco Tuesday and Thirsty Thursday will be there for you when Saturday's not coming soon enough and you need motivation to get through the week.
1. Getting in gets tricky
Several parties welcome just about anyone. Some, unfortunately, place a bit more red tape over their front doors. The party could be private. If this is the case, the host might ask who you know. (Hope you're a good guesser!) The party could also be capped. In that situation, it's best to cut your losses and try the house next door.
2. Space is limited
You haven't truly felt like a canned sardine until you've spent three hours in the basement of a college house party. Navigating your way to the drink table is about as fast-paced as swimming in wet cement. Oh, and good luck finding a working/available bathroom.
3. You're going to get sweaty
In addition to the stalled forward progress and bursting bladder, tightly packed parties will provide you with a pair of drenched armpits. What's worse? You can expect everyone else to be just as sweat-soaked. Plug your nose, plot your course, and fight your way across any path that leads to a window or backyard.
4. They're prime police targets
Cops can't bust every single party, but you won't want to be around for the ones that do butt heads with the law. One of my friends nearly broke his ankle hopping the fence to escape a party gone south. Have fun, but always play it safe—and never try to show a fence who's boss.

I pulled a tricep muscle a couple of years ago by pulling a fermenter out of a chest freezer. It took quite a while to heal, so I can relate to this concern. If you're going to go the chest freezer route, then practice proper lifting and pulling techniques to avoid potential injury. A hoist or pulley system is a great idea and a back saver for sure.
I have no issues with just a Brew Hauler. Although I'm so paranoid it will unclip I quadruple-check the fasteners before lifing.I'm way too much of a nervous Nelly to use a pulley system.
Or get more exercise.
Quote from: jeffy on January 14, 2014, 06:07:57 PMOr get more exercise.I'm sorry, this post was a bit snarky. I'm a big guy and have no trouble lifting kegs in and out of my chest freezer, but it would be more difficult with carboys or buckets. If it came down to it I'd most likely use siphons or pumps as most people have already posted.
If the concern is hurting yourself (as opposed to avoiding aggravating an existing injury) just doin git correctly is the best bet.
Like to add that I built a shelf in each of my 7cu freezers so that the buckets are off the bottom and I don't have to bend over very far.
Is there any reason to consider a freezer superior to a refrigerator? We don't actually ever take fermentation down to 0 degrees do we?
Also, with an upright fridge/freezer every one opens the door the cold air flows out. So it'll cost a bit more in kW. I can see placing a carboy or bucket into an upright just as or more awkward to handle and dangerous to the back as a chest freezer.

"Michelstadt" is the largest town in the "Odenwald" located between "Darmstadt" and "Heidelberg" (Hessen). The historic town hall (immortalized on a postage stamp) is known all over the world, built in 1484 in the style of late Gothic architecture. This figure is carved in Arabic numerals on the north side and on the front. The ground floor of City Hall was used as a market hall. The builder of the most original half-timbered house in Germany is unknown.

Germany? Before the beginning there was Ginnungagap, an empty space of nothingness, filled with pure creative power. (Sort of like the inside of my head.)And it ends with Ragnarok, the twilight of the Gods. In between is much fighting, betrayal and romance. Just as a good Godly story should be.Heroes have their own graveyard called Valhalla. Unfortunately we cannot show you a panorama of it at this time, nor of the lovely Valkyries who are its escort service.Hail Odin, wandering God wielding wisdom and wand! Hail Freya, hail Tyr, hail Thor!Odin made the many lakes and the fish in them. In his traverses across the lands he caused there to be the Mulheim Bridge in Cologne, as did he make the Mercury fountain, Mercury being of his nature.But it is to the mighty Thor that the Hammering Man gives service.Between the time of the Nordic old ones and that of modern Frankfort there may have been a T.Rex or two on the scene. At least some mastodons for sure came through for lunch, then fell into tar pits to become fossils for us to find.And there we must leave you, O my most pure and holy children.Text by Steve Smith.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - MIT relied on a strong team performance in salvaging a tie with national power Williams College in Saturday's track and field quad meet at Shobrys and Aronson Indoor Track. The Engineers and Ephs each scored 204 points to outdistance third-place RPI (130) and Westfield State (36).
MIT orchestrated victories in two of the middle distance events to pick up key points. Junior Leanne Veldhuis grabbed first in an exiting finish in the 600-meter run. Crossing the line in 1:41.27, Velduis finish just in front of Williams runners Robin Kuntz (1:41.32) and Laura Walls (1:41.87). In the next distance up, sophomore Adrienne Bolger split 2:25.40 en route to a first place finish in the 800m.
MIT was really able to flex its muscle in the 5000m, where a resurging distance program took four of the first five places, including a one-two finish by freshman Maria Monks and junior Karen Condon. Monks broke the tape with a tremendous time of 17:53.93.
Freshman Amy Magnuson carried over a victory in the preliminaries of the 55m hurdles to the finals where she paced the field with a time of 8.81.
Williams won 10 individual events and both relays, but the Engineers kept pace with the Ephs by supplying depth in every event.

I will talk about two types of random processes -- the classical Sherrington-Kirkpatrick (SK) model of spin glasses and its diluted version. One of the main motivations in these models is to find a formula for the maximum of the process, or the free energy, in the limit when the size of the system is getting large. The answer depends on understanding the structure of the Gibbs measure in a certain sense, and this structure is expected to be described by the so called Parisi solution in the SK model and Mézard-Parisi solution in the diluted SK model. I will explain what these are and mention some results in this direction.

Pamela Gesme Miller has been named assistant dean for development and external relations at the Maseeh College of Engineering and Computer Science at Portland State University. She will be responsible for developing revenue strategies for the college that will impact its growth over the next five years.
Miller was director of external relations for the engineering college from November 2001 to January 2007. During that time she worked closely with alumni, friends, faculty and university leadership to secure some of the largest gifts to PSU in the University's history, including the philanthropic support which resulted in the naming of PSU's college of engineering and computer science after PSU alumnus Dr. Fariborz Maseeh.
Maseeh College dean Renjeng Su noted that Miller made significant contributions to the unprecedented growth of the college over the last decade. "Pam's return is a crucial addition to our excellent team in an exciting time," he said.
Françoise Aylmer, PSU's vice president for university advancement, commented "Pam is a highly professional, highly effective fund raiser. Rarely do you find someone with such a specific knowledge of engineering and higher education who also really knows the community."
Since 2007 Miller has been the assistant dean of development and external relations at the Henry Samueli School of Engineering at the University of California, Irvine.
Miller, who earned her bachelor of science in business administration from PSU, will begin her new position in late April.

What are the names that gained the most attention this year, symbolizing how far we've come and where we're heading next? The election, of course, figured heavily in deciding on the most influential names of 2008, as did popular culture and the economy. Here are our top ten picks for the Names of the Year.
1. BARACK – How did an obscure Hebrew/Arabic/Swahili name that means thunderbolt, lightning, and/or blessing come to inspire a wave of baby namesakes? The same way a self-professed "skinny black kid with a funny name" came to be the 44th president of the United States. Barack is exactly the kind of singular, ethnic, family name that the next generation of parents is bound to celebrate.
2. MILEY – It may be Destiny (which was her original given name) that little Miley Cyrus adopted the nickname given to her by her father Billy Ray because she was so smiley, which, thanks to the stupendous success of Hannah Montana, has become one of the fastest rising girl's names, debuting on the popularity charts at number 278. Over 2,000 baby girls were named Miley, Mylee or Mylie in the last year counted, and boy cousins Milo and Miles are also climbing the charts.
3. JOE – Joe – the Plumber, Six-Pack, and Biden – was 2008's Everyman, hailed and scorned by candidates on both sides of the election. The ultimate good guy name, Joe is short for Joseph – an important figure in both the Old and New Testaments – which has been among the Top 15 Boy's Names since the Social Security Administration started keeping records in 1880. It was rarely mentioned that the real Joe the Plumber's name was actually Sam.
4. RUBY – A new generation of hip mamas and cool dads has given rise to a whole new class of Hipster Baby Names: quirky choices long dormant and only now revived by adventurous baby namers bent on making parenthood and babies stylish. Tops on the hipster favorites list, along with Ruby, are such choices as Oscar, Matilda, Rufus, and Sadie.
5. EDWARD – The alluring vampire hero of Stephenie Myers' Twilight series has single-handedly turned the slightly awkward, old-fashioned classic Edward into an unlikely candidate for the hottest, edgiest name in town.
6. TRIG — Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin was a maverick baby namer, with the choices she made for her five children receiving nearly as much attention as her wardrobe and her televised gaffes. Place names with personal meaning figured heavily in Palin's choices, with oldest son Track named for his parents' love of running, daughters Bristol and Willow named for favorite Alaska places, and Piper chosen because, according to First Dude Todd Palin, "it was a cool name." Infant son Trig's name is Norse for "strength" and middle name Paxson is another Alaska place name.
7. JANUARY– As Betty Draper, the heroine of the TV hit Mad Men set in the early 1960s, gorgeous actress January Jones introduced her own thoroughly modern name that straddles old and new, a perfect choice as we enter a new age of Camelot. January is also representative of a whole calendar-related genre of names, such as Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's little girl Sunday Rose and such newly-stylish choices as May, June, August, and Winter.
8. BRONX– – The Crazy Starbaby Name of the Year Award goes to – no contest — Bronx Mowgli, newborn son of rockers Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz. But Bronx—as opposed to the popular Brooklyn— is about as likely to catch on with non-celebrity baby namers as Kipling-Disney middle name Mowgli.
9. SASHA– Everyone's making a fuss over the names of older Obama daughter Malia and power-named mom Michelle, but we think Sasha is more worthy of being a Name of the Year. In the second First Daughter's case, Sasha is short for Natasha. Russian names have quickly gone from heavy-footed to fashionable, thanks to the cadre of long-legged supermodels who've imported them to Western Europe and the U.S. Usually a male nickname for Alexander, it was spelled Sascha by Jessica and Jerry Seinfeld, who used it for their daughter.
10. CASH—The economy's tanked and we're cutting up our credit cards, so where should we turn but to Cash, the baby name choice of almost a thousand parents last year. It has celebrity cred via Cash (real name) Warren, inamorata of Jessica Alba and baby-daddy of Honor Marie, and as son of actress Annabeth Gish.

Although the takeover of a failed broker's persistent data by a failover broker in an enhanced cluster is normally automatic, there may be times when you want to prevent such failover from occurring. To suppress automatic failover when shutting down a broker, use the -nofailover option to the imqcmd shutdown bkr subcommand:
imqcmd shutdown bkr -nofailover -b hostName:portNumber
where hostName and portNumber are the host name and port number of the broker to be shut down.
Conversely, you may sometimes need to force a broker failover to occur manually. (This might be necessary, for instance, if a failover broker were to itself fail before completing the takeover process.) In such cases, you can initiate a failover manually from the command line: first shut down the broker to be taken over with the -nofailover option, as shown above, then issue the command
imqcmd takeover bkr -n brokerID
where brokerID is the broker identifier of the broker to be taken over. If the specified broker appears to be running, the Command utility will display a confirmation message:
The broker associated with brokerID last accessed the database # seconds ago. Do you want to take over for this broker?
You can suppress this message, and force the takeover to occur unconditionally, by using the -f option to the imqcmd takeover bkr command:
imqcmd takeover bkr -f -n brokerID
The imqcmd takeover bkr subcommand is intended only for use in failed-takeover situations. You should use it only as a last resort, and not as a general way of forcibly taking over a running broker.

Vesta Italian
Last week I was invited to try out the recently relaunched Vesta Italian Restaurant, located in the increasingly buzzing Darling Quarter precinct at Darling Harbour. Italian Cuisine and pasta in general excites me so much - after all I am a big fan of carbs, endless servings of bolognese sauce and of course, there's the dessert.
Vesta is a Modern Italian restaurant with sleek contemporary interiors and a breezy open outdoor space that's perfect for lunch catchups and evening dinners. I loved the relaxed atmosphere and the friendly service from the staff!
To start off, I ordered the
Seared Scallops ($16)
as an entree, which came with
cauliflower puree and lemon crumble
. M made a comment on how almost every restaurant utilises cauliflower puree to accompany a scallop dish. Truth be told, I can see why - it's a culinary match made in heaven. The scallops were tender and beautifully cooked, and also plated in a delicate manner. The creamy puree complimented the flavours of the scallops whilst the crumble added textural crunch to the dish. Not bad at all!
Calamari ($15)
lightly dusted with flour and came with lemon and herb mayo
. Each bite was quite crispy and when dipped into the sauce, proved to be a tangy delight. The serving size was also very generous! Nevertheless I must say I do prefer my calamaris slightly more deep fried.
As mentioned before, I cannot resist bolognese. Ordering the
Tagliatelle Bolognese ($19)
was honestly a no brainer. The tagliatelle was cooked to a perfect al dente (it may be a bit too hard for some people's taste palette) and so each spoonful was quite chewy. The
slow cooked Bolognese sauce
was seriously tasty with a thick consistency and rich tomato flavours - just the way I like it!
Next up was the
Pork Belly Pizza ($23)
- quite the unconventional order for us but we were far too intrigued to give it a miss. Coated with
diced pork belly, mozzarella, potato and apple sauce
, this pizza was definitely unique in its mix of sweet and savoury flavours. I liked the super crisp thin pizza base and the tender bites of pork belly however at times it was hard getting used to the apple sauce. Overall, it's probably something I'd order once to try out because when it comes to pizzas, I prefer the good old classic options!
The highlight for the night was definitely the dessert - isn't it always? The
Home Made Daily Panna Cotta ($12)
- in this case,
raspberry flavoured
- was a creamy and decadant indulgence. Topped with raspberries and glorious GLORIOUS crumble, the vanilla panna cotta was silky smooth and sweet but not excessively so, thus making each spoonful more addictive than the last. M and I didn't even bother to converse during the period of sharing this dessert, we just kept digging in until we hit the bottom of the glass jar. Yeah, it was THAT good.
Overall we had a great time at Vesta and especially want to say thanks to the owner and the staff for their friendly, attentive service. The ambience and vibe here is great - casual, relaxed and uber fun! The food is nice and fresh with an interesting modern take and there's also an extensie drinks menu. Perfect for happy hour Fridays with work mates or catcups with friends. I am so keen to come back to try the other desserts and order that panna cotta again!
For those of you who haven't checked out Darling Quarter, you are seriously missing out. The strip is filled with restaurants and the atmosphere is buzzing with people all the time. Family friendly and close to transport/parking.

Location: 3333 Bristol St., Costa Mesa, at the San Diego (405) Freeway and Bristol Street.
Hours: 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Friday; 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday; 11 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Sunday
Known for: The largest shopping center in California, South Coast Plaza is the Rodeo Drive of Orange County, with nearly every luxury brand in the universe under one roof. The mall has 250 boutiques and 30 restaurants.
What you'll find: Almost everything you could ever want or need. Anchor stores are Bloomingdale's (the best one in Southern California), Nordstrom, Macy's, Sears and a small Saks Fifth Avenue. Boutiques include Chanel, Hermes, Prada, Balenciaga, Marni, Miu Miu, Chopard, Harry Winston, Rolex, Ralph Lauren, Tory Burch and Cartier boutiques, mixed with mall regulars such as J. Crew, Gap, Ann Taylor and Banana Republic. The CH Carolina Herrera store, featuring the designer's lower-priced line, is notable, as is the only SoCal outpost for the French luggage and handbag brand Longchamp. The only West Coast John Lobb men's footwear boutique is here, as are the only SoCal DKNY and Donna Karan boutiques. And don't forget about the hard-to-find third level, where you will find foodie favorite French bistro Marché Moderne, as well as the Christian Louboutin and Oscar de la Renta stores.
An outdoor bridge over Bear Street connects to South Coast Plaza West, formerly called Crystal Court, where there are even more stores — Pottery Barn, Crate & Barrel, Loft, Chico's, Talbots, Nike and more.
As a bonus, nearby Metro Pointe at South Coast, owned by a separate company, houses discounts aplenty at Nordstrom Rack, Loehmann's and Marshalls.
Vibe: Tourists, tanned and toned moms in tennis skirts, and ladies who lunch. (Overheard at lunchtime at the next table at Quattro, "I'd have another glass of wine, but I have carpool.")
Survival strategies: Pace yourself, drink lots of water and wear comfortable shoes. When it comes to shopping, this is the big leagues. Try parking in the small lot behind the south parking structure between Bloomingdale's and Saks. It's usually not so crowded. Also note there are four concierge desks throughout the main building. They all offer package check services, as well as stroller and wheelchair rentals.
Take a break: Forget the food court. Fine dining abounds, whether you grab a steak at Charlie Palmer at Bloomingdale's, a foie gras torchon at Marché Moderne or an order of garlic noodles at AnQi by Crustacean. For more low-key fare, try Quattro for pasta and salads, Lawry's Carvery for roast beef sandwiches or the Champagne Bakery — a nice respite outside by the bridge over Bear Street to South Coast Plaza West — for a latte.
Holiday cheer: The carousel horses are transformed into reindeer, and kids can take pictures with Santa at his workshop in Carousel Court or enjoy craft activities in Santa's Village. Check the website for updates on live musical performances between now and Christmas.
For kids: The carousel, between Sears and Bloomingdale's in Carousel Court, has several kid-friendly destinations clustered nearby, including Rainforest Cafe (check out the large aquariums), the Lego Store, Disney Store, Sanrio, Pottery Barn Kids and Puzzle Zoo. To catch a movie, there's the Edwards 12 Theatre at Metro Pointe.
Nearby: The Segerstrom Center for the Arts (600 and 665 Town Center Drive) hosts music, dance and theater productions (including South Coast Repertory's "A Christmas Carol" Saturday through Dec. 24). And when you've had enough shopping, the Noguchi Sculpture Garden (2 Town Center Drive) is about as serene as it gets. For a fee, there are also daily shuttles from Disneyland-area hotels.
Impressions: With multiple levels, locations and shops, it can be quite overwhelming. But as long as you focus, and plot out a route, there's something here for everyone. When it comes to fashion, this mall would be perfect, except that it doesn't have Neiman Marcus. And the fashion selection in boutiques isn't always as edgy as you'd find in Los Angeles, which could be a good thing or a bad thing depending on what you're looking for.

Got my set plus the common chase in this week. I think they look really good. I've also got the all gray chase coming in a few weeks, but wanted to post a pic of the first 7 in their shiny cases. =)
Second from the right is the McQuarrie Fett (funny looking mouth).
Still scratching my head on why one of my McQuarries has the vintage gun?!?
Maybe double check what you're looking at.The Johnston/McQuarrie Fett shouldn't have pockets at all.
