Dembabies on the Walk of Fame
Jeff Kravitz/ Steve Granitz/ Getty Images
Mimi received her star on the Walk of Fame in Hollywood yesterday. And it was supposed to be all about her. It should always be all about her. But… Not when dembabies are around. Which totally makes sense. Dembabies have been raised by a sparkle butterfly who was destined to be praised and admired – and told that she's skinny – at all times. Full Story

Mimi's new heart and big head
Mimi hosted a party in Vegas this weekend. As you know, so far it's been a great summer for our most beloved. There's a new man in her life. And he's a billionaire. James Packer. He was at one of her shows last week. During one of the songs, she spoke to him directly from the stage, thanking him for giving her "a new heart". Full Story
Katy is a lamb
Katy Perry went to Vegas to see Mimi. Then they posed together for photos. Obviously my sweet glitter butterfly angel is the most beautiful and the most thin every day, but on this day, especially so. Because Christ Jesus what is Katy wearing? I'm not just talking about the pink fur. I'm not just talking about all those pearls – three pearl drops on each ear AND a double strand around her neck. Full Story

Who needs a squad when you have a Lambily? I love my #lambily - they flew all the way from China to be with me at my sold out show last night!! ❤❤❤ #China #1toinfinity #vegas Full Story
Dear Gossips,
US Weekly gave Canadians two gifts yesterday for Canada Day. We'll get to Rachel McAdams and Taylor Kitsch later. Let's start with Mimi. Always Mimi. It's 25 Things You Didn't Know About Me, the Mimi Edition. Read Full Intro
Mimi's ongoing holiday
FameFlynet, Splash News, AKM-GSI
Tomorrow is Canada Day. As you know, Mimi is my favourite way to leave for holiday. Mimi is still on holiday. With James Packer. I feel like this trip is longer than the time she actually spent on consecutive Vegas shows. Remember when Mimi was committed to a Vegas residency? That's not the priority anymore, obviously. Full Story
Mimi can walk when she's in love?
Welllll…she can walk when she's working towards a proposal. Check out Mimi and James Packer holding hands in Portofino. Note that she's on cobblestone! And she doesn't have 6 bodyguards holding her up! It's just Packer…because, and I know my girl, she wants you to know and see that he's man enough to handle her, all by himself. Full Story
Mimi is pre-engaged
TMZ is reporting that Mimi and James Packer, who've basically only been together for a week, like actually just a week, are already talking about marriage. First of all…what did I tell you yesterday? Click here Full Story
Dear Gossips,
As we all know now, Mimi is dating Australian billionaire James Packer who, obviously, has enough money and resources to woo her. But it's not just about what you can buy for Mimi. With Mimi it has to be about the show too.
This is why she and Nick Cannon had to renew their vows every year when they were (happily) married. Mimi expects to be exalted. And the other night, Packer demonstrated this on his boat. According to TMZ, Packer hosted a party the other night off the coast of Sardinia. Oh, you know, just off the coast of Sardinia, no big. Apparently the only music they played the entire night was Mimi's. Just Mimi songs to feed her ego, and her heart.
But remember, Mimi (allegedly) made Nick wait until they were wife and husband before she'd have sex with him. So. You know. It might be a lot of handholding and petting unless Packer puts up that ring. Some of you don't believe it. Some of you don't think it can happen, holding off until the wedding.
Remember, this is Mimi. And as Dean pointed out a long time ago:
"Mariah sexy" is not human sexy, so it's still really hard to picture her actually fornicating. Whether it's the Shake it Off video where she's naked in a rose petal filled bathtub or alluding to a Naval gangbang, like in the Honey video, Mariah's sexuality is just never that believable. It always seems too Sex and Romance 101, like she's copying the ideas out of a Danielle Steele novel.
Think about it. Sex requires movement. Can you picture Mimi moving?
Yours in gossip,
Mimi's in love again!
I had to save this for last today. Because Mimi would approve. Love and joy and "festive" news should always be at the top of the page. Mimi has a new boyfriend. And he's a billionaire! TMZ broke the news this weekend that Mimi is now dating Australian billionaire James Packer. Full Story

Listen to Miley Cyrus on iHeartRadio
Shortly after the pop star tweeted a photo from her racy W magazine spread on Thursday, she shared pics from her German Vogue shoot with famed photographer Mario Testino.
Cyrus tweeted three different cover images, along with a bathrobe shot in which her left breast is full revealed (see right and below).
"Very xxxited about this cover," she said of the main Vogue pic, showing her as a blonde bombshell.
It's been quite a day for Miley Cyrus' nipples.

Kororaa: The little penguin makes a return
Linux for the GNU South – Attend if you can.
During the course of running the beta for Fedora 15 KDE — Fedora 15 is out now, by the way, and you can get this outstanding release here — I had many problems with connectivity on some hardware running the beta, which forced me to look at alternatives.
It's not that I wasn't filing bug reports — I was — but I know enough about my abilities to realize that any contributions I might make to solving the problem would be outweighed by the fact that I'd clearly be in the way were I to try to fix them. Someday that may not be the case, but until then I let those with the heavier developer chops fix the big stuff and I'll just be over there bowing in homage.
Be that as it may, for several days the Fedora KDE folks were trying to overcome a NetworkManager fiasco which, as far as I could tell as an innocent bystander, stemmed from the Fedora Project's "GNOME 3 uber alles" focus in Fedora 15. During that time, I took another Fedora-based distro for a few laps.
Kororaa Linux 14 Beta 6, code named Nemo, was — and still is — a pleasant surprise.
Once a Gentoo-based distro that went into hiatus in 2007, Australian Chris Smart brought it back to life on Christmas 2010, basing it on Fedora. Why Fedora? Says Smart: "Essentially, Kororaa has been reborn as a Fedora remix, inspired by Rahul Sundaram's Omega GNOME remix. It aims to provide all general computing uses out of the box and it aims to include software packages that most users will want."
Smart and the other contributors at Kororaa hit the mark; in fact, the Kororaa team hits the bullseye in providing a distro with packages that just work out of the box. With the distro based on Fedora 14, it has a solid foundation from which to build, and the Kororaa team has built a solid operating system that those who.
There is an attention to detail balanced by a degree of whimiscal outlook in this distro. First off, the name itself is a variation of the Maori korora, meaning "little penguin." Focusing on the new user, there are eye-candy features, like the rotating desktop which, for those of us in the AARP set, may be a little disconcerting. One thing I particularly liked — and I'm a sucker for stuff like this — is a default in the terminal that provides color characters. Nice touch.
Running on a ThinkPad R32, Kororaa handles everything I throw at it in typical Fedora fashion — with a "thank you, sir, may I have another?" ability and enthusiasm. Not once did the hardware complain or did programs fail under the trials.
Kororaa has a huge potential to grow to be a player on the Linux scene, and Smart and the Kororaa community can go places with Kororaa should enough people get on board and contribute. Count me in. I see a happy and healthy future for the little penguin.

I am a single mother to a 4 year old. I work hard but the money has not been enough to support the kind of lifestlye that I want. So I have been dating this older gentleman. He provides me financial support so that I can live the life that I want to. We do not sleep together, but I do accompany him to his business affairs. I am very beautiful, not to sound conceited, so he enjoys my company and conversation. He has bought me a car, put me up in a beautiful condo, pays for my upkeep (tanning, waxing, nails, clothes), takes me on lavish vacations. He also pays for my daughter's very expensive daycare and her upkeep as well. We live very well. I feel like I deserve it because I was treated poorly in the past by my daughter's father and not appreciated by him and now I have a man that enjoys pampering me.
A part of me feels guilty, but at the same time I feel like I benefit my boyfriend too.
I guess for the debate: Would you allow a man to financially keep you, no catch? Am I wrong to enjoy the lifestlye give to me?

I feel like Apple hasn't truly innovated since the first iPhone.
Everything since has been an evolution of iPhone and iOS 1.0 but I wouldn't consider any true innovations
Apple's stock will not get anywhere near 700 again any time soon without a 'truly new' product.
I have restrained myself on buying an i5 and I am considering moving to android in the time soon if no jailbreak comes out. I am not saying this will happen to everyone, but I am sure a lot of people are holding on to their 4S for this very same reason.
I feel they are becoming stale and iOS6 was a very STALE upgrade. So was the i5 in regards to screen size.
They have also made a very difficult to produce i5 and Foxconn is not keeping up with demand. For the impulse buyers (a lot of them) are moving to other handsets that are readily available. I think this is the major problem for Apple's Stock. Besides... Apple's stock was over valuated anyways.
There has been no change in the behavior of Apple customers - when a new device comes out, even if marginally better than the one they have, they buy it (which drives revenue/profits even higher) and sell the old one to subsidize it (which supports a HUUUUGE secondary market by the way). They don't need a new product to make record profits at every turn and sell millions of devices.
In that vein, analyst estimates have been insanely out of control lately (with analysts going above apple's own guidance by 20% then missing their own expectations which drives down the price). As soon as analysts level set their expectations for the number of devices that will be sold (and apple can meet that demand- see supply chain), the stock price will rise again.
As for why things are bad currently - Apple's price is getting battered because of supply chain problems. When they fix that and they meet demand, confidence in the stock will restore. Furthermore, the price will keep going until the stock gets gets too expensive for investors (a bad value - or high P/E).
Even if apple stops "innovating" and just goes with incremental updates, they still trade at a 12 P/E which does NOT include their cash on hand. Thats AMAZING VALUE! If they meet their numbers, the price goes up.
Bottom line - BUY NOW!
But, I have purchased an iphone 5 and sold my iphone 4.
What a lot of people here don't talk about, is how well IOS 6 works with the iphone 5.
I subscribe to a number of podcasts and it was a pain getting updates before.
Now I get them within a day of the broadcast automatically.
Looking through and selecting, downloading podcasts is almost instant now.
Everything functions faster now, even the APP Store, with multiple downloads occuring at the same time,
and then the option to run the app while still in the app store.
I initially wanted a bigger screen, but my reach on the 5 fits just right.
Like most people, I was extremely disappointed when Apple replaced Google Maps.
And the loss of YouTube was a bad move on Apple's part.
But the functioning of the iphone 5 is three times what the iphone 4 was.
It took me over a minute and 20 seconds to boot the iphone 4 from off.
It took me 23 seconds to boot the iphone 5.
...Don't get me wrong! I really miss my jailbreak!
But the Jailbreak is still VERY far off. By this time with previous iOSes (two months after a release of a new iOS) the devs have had at least an exploit discovered, a true jailbreak (not a failbreak) and a tethered JB within a few weeks. We've heard nothing out of the devs at all. Not a word.. That means it will take a VERY long time this time. And last time (5.1.1 Absinthe) was a longer wait than ever before. I had high hopes of getting my iP5 for Christmas since there'd certainly be a jailbreak by then. But I have a feeling that won't happen. I am NOT upgrading until there's a JB. Just can't live without a JB anymore. I'm too invested in my tweaks and themes.

THUMP launches 'Up Next' with Zedd, TOKiMONSTA, & Duke Dumont
Listen to Zedd on iHeartRadio | Listen to TOKiMONSTA on iHeartRadio
THUMP launched their project "Up Next," with an unforgettable event in New York City. A gargantuan crowd of dance music fans gathered at Pier 84 in New York City for an incredible evening, with music provided by Zedd, TOKiMONSTA, and Duke Dumont.
But that's not all they got. Along with the amazing night of music, the fans also got a spectacular show of interactive fireworks - which they got to control with Samsung Galaxy phones!
This was a truly unique event, and if it's any indication of what we can expect from THUMP and "Up Next" - we want more!
The show also featured an impressive and epic LED DJ booth structure.

Lambert's Gem Propels Liberty Past Winthrop, 3-1
Right-hander Trey Lambert handcuffed the visiting Eagles over the full nine innings, pushing the Liberty Flames past Winthrop, 3-1, in a Big South contest at Liberty Baseball Stadium, Sunday.
After allowing a first-inning run, Lambert took control, throwing eight scoreless innings for a complete game to move his record to 6-3 on the year. It was the second-straight complete game for Lambert and his third of the season. The right-hander did not allow a runner past second base over the final eight frames.
Lambert allowed one run on six hits over the full nine innings. He struck out nine batters and walked one. The nine strikeouts tie a career-high for the right-hander. He also struck out nine batters over eight innings in an 8-1 win over Longwood in the second game of a doubleheader on March 30, 2013.
Liberty moves to 8-7 in Big South action and 22-19 overall. Winthrop falls to 3-12 in conference play and 15-27 overall.
Both teams plated runs in the game's opening inning. With two outs, left fielder Cody Dolan doubled and scored on a single by right fielder Matt Lobacz for the Eagles' lone run of the contest in the top of the first.
In the bottom of the frame, Liberty evened the score at 1-1. Right fielder Ashton Perritt singled and stole second to start the home half of the first. After moving to third on a grounder to the left side of the infield by left fielder Nick Lacik, Perritt tied the game by tallying a run on a ground out by second baseman Bryan Aanderud.
Liberty plated a run in the fourth. Center fielder Ryan Cordell singled with one out and advanced to third base on a single by designated hitter Danny Grauer. First baseman Alex Close then lifted a sacrifice fly to deep center fielder to score Cordell and give the Flames a 2-1 edge.
In its next at bat, Liberty extended its advantage with a run. With one out in the fifth, Perritt beat out an infield single and advanced to second on a sacrifice bunt by Lacik. Aanderud followed with an infield single to shortstop, moving Perritt to third. After an Eagle pitching change, a wild pitch by Winthrop reliever Joey Strain allowed Perritt to plate a run for a 3-1 lead.
It was all that Lambert needed, as the Flames went on to the 3-1 win.
Winthrop starter Sam Kmiec falls to 2-6 on the season. The left-hander gave up three runs on seven hits over 4 2/3 innings. He struck out three batters.
Liberty collected eight hits in the contest. Perritt had two hits, scored two runs and stole a base in the contest for the Flames. Winthrop had six hits. Dolan and Lobacz each recorded two hits for the Eagles.
Liberty begins a five-game road swing, Tuesday. The Flames step out of conference play and visit College Park, Md., for a contest with the Maryland Terrapins. Game time is scheduled for 4 p.m.

I first learned about debuggers and decompilers from my BT PWB class. I currently have my lab on hold because I want to really get a good feeling with every tool mentioned if not, nearly master it. I have some C/C++ experience and basic assembly knowledge. I've gone through "Hacking: The Art of Exploitation 2nd Edition" that focuses on the GNU Debugger(GDB) so I'm not a compete novice, but I don't know where to go to get the best knowledge in this field.
I really want to learn how to use and become proficient with Immunity Debugger and learn how to create my own exploits. I have "Gray Hat Python", unfortunately it's a little above me at the moment. I have basic python knowledge but this book requires more familiarity with python and Immunity Debugger than I have so I just become lost and unable to follow.
I have "The Ida Pro Book", "Reversing Secrets of Reverse Engineering", "Gray Hat Python", and a few fuzzing books.
I've looked at the Immunity courses but I don't think I have enough knowledge to jump into a 4-5 day bootcamp style Debugger course when I become puzzled after opening a process with Immunity and pressing run. I also plan on taking the remaining Offensive Security courses before I move onto anything else.
I'm pretty much looking for the best way to approach this subject. I'm sure there are many people here who are pretty awesome with debuggers, how did you get there? Any books to recommend? Websites with good tutorials? Classes that teach you specifically catering to vulnerability discovery beginning with the basics?
Thank you for your time!

Sleek leather, moleskin, and linen cases
DODOcase – A San Francisco startup looking to preserve historic book binding techniques – needed an ecommerce solution to begin selling their famous iPad cases.
The fact that Shopify's platform had everything they were looking for was enhanced by the opportunity to enter Shopify's first ever Build A Business competition, where they could win $100,000. Little did they know that not only would they win the competition, but they would bring in $3 million in sales during their first year on Shopify.
Winning Build a Business
That first year, the only thing we had going for us was our Shopify store. We didn't have a marketing budget, and we just had a simple business concept: Make a great product and create a memorable brand that had a compelling story. The rest just went from there.
For me, it really underscored the power of ecommerce and the Internet.
Focusing on our brand
Having Shopify manage our store provided us a lot of peace of mind. We just didn't have to think about it. We wanted to focus on designing, marketing and manufacturing, not order management. Shopify allowed us to do that.
Without Shopify, there's no way we'd be where we are today. Shopify is our secret weapon.
Ability to Scale
One thing I've always appreciated about Shopify is its ability to scale on peak traffic days. We've had some pretty large days in terms of transactions when a new iPad comes out.

Today, Barnard struggles to have a calling card beyond its location in New York and its affiliation with Columbia.
Debora Spar, the new president of Barnard, has been hired to bring a new dynamism to New York's premier women's university.
Spar comes from the co-ed world, a seemingly plain credential but one that will give her an enormous advantage at Barnard.
My mind is as fertile as when I graduated from Barnard College.
President Obama recently exhorted young Barnard graduates to "fight for a seat at the head of the table."
The only further allusion to it occurs in Lady Barnard's will.
Barnard wanted to draw people's attention to the power of images.
Clodagh, to her own annoyance, coloured; and Barnard smiled in his observant, quizzical fashion.
Mr. Barnard was appointed to command her, and Augustus was going with him.
Since attack is ever the best defence, General Barnard ordered his men to move out and drive back the enemy.
Barnard Bar·nard (bär'nərd, bär-närd'), Christiaan Neethling. Born 1923.
South African surgeon who performed the first human heart transplant (1967).

Bringing a healthy child to visit a very ill sibling in the hospital can help the whole family. But, before you take your child to visit their ill sibling, you need to prepare your child for the visit so that the child knows what to expect.
How to Prepare Your Child
There are several things you can do to prepare your child:
- Ask if the child wants to visit. It is okay if the child changes their mind.
- Talk with your child about their ill sibling. The social worker, doctor, or nurse can help you choose words to explain the illness the sibling has.
- Show your child a picture of the ill sibling in their hospital room.
- Talk with your child about what the child will see. Thechild may see tubes, machines that monitor vital signs, and other medical equipment.
- Bring your child to a sibling support group.
- Have your child draw a picture or leave a gift for their ill sibling.
Your child will have questions about why their sibling is sick. The child will probably ask if their sibling will get better. You can be ready by having a social worker, nurse, or doctor there before, during, and after the visit.
Your child may feel angry, scared, helpless, guilty, or jealous. These are normal feelings.
Often children do better than adults when visiting their ill sibling.Be sure your child does not have a cold, cough, or any other illness or infection when they visit.
Make sure to follow hand-washing rules and other hospital safety rules.

If I was to divide my time on the forums to where I spend most of it, then 1/3 here 1/3 bugs, and the last third on the rest of the forums.
So yes we look and if you notice threads with something similar to [BLAH BLAH] in square brackets then that will tell you if I submitted the tool for inclusion, or otherwise. That's just my way of helping the other guys so they know there is no need to waste time looking at a given thread.
Sometimes I let threads set to see if they will gain traction from others who would also like to have them included into BT.
There are many tools, but as a team we don't see the need for them to be included, case in point, FireFox add-ons that a user could easily grab themselves.

My take is that it wouldn't literally be a violation of the precepts, but I think it is something you would want to avoid if possible, and if you must do it, then don't compound the negative outcome by ruminating over it.

Effort to nullify Affordable Care Act in SC underway again
From our News Partners at WCBD-TV:
Wednesday at North Charleston City Hall a panel of state lawmakers held a public meeting to get input from residents about the recently enacted Affordable Care Act.
Those attending included residents and organizations both for and against the plan. Many argue the state should accept the coming changes and work through the process. But lawmakers say that state residents shouldn't be forced to buy insurance plans and ACA may violate the U.S. Constitution.
Republican State Senator Tom Davis of Beaufort talked a little about the message they are trying to deliver to those attending.
"I want you to think that you have legislators that are open minded that are looking at the impact the affordable care act as having on their lives and we are taking steps to mitigate. That is what we are here to explore," says state Sen. Davis.
Wednesday's meeting is the final of three, two others were held in Greenville and Columbia.
The State Senate will begin debate on the effort to nullify the Affordable Care Act at the start of the 2014 legislative session January 14th.
In May South Carolina lawmakers in the House passed bill H.3101, also called the Freedom of Health Care Protection Act. The bill was handed off to the Senate. Now members from that body have started an effort to get their word out.
Lawmakers claim ACA will cost state taxpayers millions.
Republican House member Rep. Bill Crosby who represents portions of Charleston and Berkeley Counties is one of the sponsors of Bill H.3101. He said it is a matter of money. "If we don't do something about the Affordable Care Act it will put us in a financial bind, we could not really afford it."
But some question the motives of GOP lawmakers backing the bill. The plan has already passed at the federal level, but state lawmakers are not letting that stop them. Lawmakers say ACA is in violation of Article I, Section 1 of the United States Constitution which, in short, says ACA is violating state's rights and a citizen's right to choose.
While those backing the bill in the House and Senate are all Republican, State Rep. Crosby said the nullification is not politically motivated. "A lot of people want to say it's just the conservatives and the Democrats. It's not political you got to operated your state."

Having found this forum and reading the stories of the struggles relating to Alzheimer/Dementia sufferers and their families I would like to add my personal experience with my Mum.
She developed the Disease about three years ago and ever since that time I and Hugh James have been battling with our Local Primary Care Trust to recognise their responsibilities for contributing to the overwhelming cost of care.
As far as im concerned this condition is a ,Health need' and NOT a 'Social need' as im repeatedly told.
This is a Terminal illness with no improvement ever likely and day and after day I watch her decline and withdraw to the point of taking breaths and aware of little else.
How as a Caring Nation how we ever got to this stage Im at a loss to comprehend and its about time we stood up and had our voices heard instead of being fobbed off with Eligibility Criterias !!
Too much money is wasted in the NSH as a whole and I see it everyday.
These people as did my parents paid a great deal in their working lifetimes to make sure they were cared for in an appropriate manner , but it now left to their families to put the bill for Care for the Elderly and Weak.
Does anyone else feel the same and is it time we rallied and shouted Enough!!!!

OAK CREEK, Wis. (AP) -- Authorities were on the scene Sunday of shootings at a Sikh temple near Milwaukee, where police and witnesses described a chaotic situation with an unknown number of victims, suspects and possible hostages.
Police were called to the Sikh Temple of Wisconsin in the suburb of Oak Creek on Sunday morning, when witnesses said several dozen people were gathering for a service. They responded with a dozen ambulances, although Greenfield Police Chief Bradley Wentlandt said it wasn't clear how many people had been shot.
Wentlandt also said it wasn't clear how many suspects were involved, although one opened fire on an officer and the officer "put down" that man. Wentlandt said the officer was shot multiple times but expected to survive.
He described the scene as chaotic and fluid and urged the media not to broadcast photos or video showing tactical units, which could put officers in danger.
Three shooting victims, all men, were taken to Froedtert Hospital in Milwaukee, the main trauma center for the area, spokeswoman Carolyn Bellin said. One was in the operating room, another in a surgical intensive care unit and the third was being evaluated in the emergency room, she said.
Sukhwindar Nagr, of Racine, said he called his brother-in-law's phone and a priest at the temple answered and told him that his brother-in-law had been shot, along with three priests. The priest also said women and children were hiding in closets in the temple, Nagr said.
Sikh rights groups have reported a rise in bias attacks since the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. The Washington-based Sikh Coalition has reported more than 700 incidents in the U.S. since 9/11, which advocates blame on anti-Islamic sentiment. Sikhs don't practice the same religion as Muslims, but their long beards and turbans often cause them to be mistaken for Muslims, advocates say.
Sikhism is a monotheistic faith that was founded in South Asia more than 500 years ago. It has roughly 27 million followers worldwide. Observant Sikhs do not cut their hair; male followers often cover their heads with turbans -- which are considered sacred -- and refrain from shaving their beards.
There are roughly 500,000 Sikhs in the U.S., according to estimates. The majority worldwide live in India.
Associated Press writers Gretchen Ehlke in Milwaukee, Pat Condon in Minneapolis and Sophia Tareen in Chicago contributed to this report.

New On-campus Theme Houses
Clarkson University's sweeping master plan maximizes our scenic river- and forest-side location. One of the most exciting aspects for students is the creation of new houses to serve Greek organizations and other shared-interest groups.
Such living-learning environments have proven highly effective in developing the leadership and teamwork skills that give our graduates an edge. At their best, they promote the highest values -- camaraderie, responsibility and a sense of service to the community.
Clarkson has made a commitment to special interest groups by building on-campus housing, which meets their specific needs. These new theme houses will provide not only a place to reside for 20-22 individuals with shared interests, but they will also offer living and gathering space. Large living/gathering rooms within the houses will allow groups to have meetings, philanthropic and social events. These spaces also free up common meeting and studying spaces already on campus.
Working with students and alumni representing fraternities, sororities and special interest groups, Clarkson developed site plans and is now building new University-owned housing to accommodate members of designated organizations.
Construction is taking place just west of the CAMP building with two of the houses scheduled to open in fall 2013. Sigma Chi and Sigma Delta fraternities will be the first two groups to move onto campus in the theme housing. They will be followed by Sigma Phi Epsilon.
A large number of Lambda Iota-Delta Upsilon alumni brothers are also working to re-colonize Delta Upsilon on campus (see sidebar on right).
Existing fraternities and sororities are not required to move from their current accommodations, but any of them can opt to relocate. Houses in this section of campus will also be available to theme interest groups who qualify.
Features will include kitchens and dining facilities, along with large and small public rooms for social gatherings and meetings. The exterior design and interior ambience of each house is distinctive. Like other University-owned residences, the new units will pay for themselves over time through bed fees charged to residents, with rates determined in accordance with the current tier-structured system. The University will also be responsible for maintenance of the homes.
To qualify for residence, student organizations must be able to make a unique, positive contribution that will enhance and benefit the larger community. Special housing privileges will be reviewed annually.
Clarkson currently recognizes four sororities and nine fraternities. Among these, five so far are planning or considering a move to new on-campus houses. Members of one fraternity, Phi Kappa Sigma, now live on a designated floor of a residence hall.
DU Redo
Lambda Iota-Delta Upsilon alumni brothers are working to re-colonize Delta Upsilon. From January 12-25, 2013, alumni from the late 1950s, 1960s, 1980s and early 2000s will be in the Student Center to introduce undergrads to Delta Upsilon. Read more about the "DU Redo."
Sigma Delta Working Towards a New Beginning
For the brothers of Sigma Delta fraternity, the construction of a new house on a wooded corner of Clarkson's campus represents more than a new home. It's also a new beginning for Clarkson's second-oldest fraternity. Read more

Looking for a great litter mat? Then you're going to love the SmartGrip Cat Litter Mat from PetFusion. They sent me one to test, and when I took it out of the box I thought to myself, "It's a yoga mat." And the very next thought was, "Why hasn't anyone done this before!"
I love this litter mat! It measures 36″ x 24″, just exactly the size I needed to go in front of my largest litter box. If you're familiar with yoga mats, then you know what the texture is like. It's a squishy, slightly sticky material with indentations in the surface, perfect for catching litter. They added a channel around the edge to catch even more litter.
It's extremely easy to clean, either by sweeping or vacuuming and you can wipe it down to sanitize it as needed. The SmartGrip mat comes in neutral gray or beige and has a simple design that would look great in any home. Both colors are available through Amazon for $18.95.

Best Of :: Shopping & Services
Here's the deal: At most mall retailers the salespeople treat the average shopper like an interruption and an annoyance. But at Nordstrom they not only try to find what you want and make sure that it fits (we dig their giant dressing rooms too), they'll go several extra miles to make you a loyal customer. We recently went on a shoe expedition. Dillard's and Foley's were hot as saunas. Neiman's never managed even a "May we help you?" so we trotted down to the competition. There, a sweet gal in the shoe department apologized for not carrying the brand and style we wanted, but she then made some calls and found us the store that did and made sure they had our size and would hold it for us. Whether you buy a lipstick or a chaise longue, you'll get a handwritten thank-you note from the Nordstrom employee who sold it to you. Amazing.
Not long ago, a young newlywed couple came into Sara Lee Goffs Plano store looking for the first piece of furniture for their new apartment. They needed a couch, and Goff had just the thinga large, softly curved number, more a huge cushion than a sofa, but its ergonomic design was exactly what they were looking for. It was just made for screwing.
No, really. Thats literally what it was made for; its S-shaped curves provide backor maybe front and sidewayssupport for the different positions so loved by limber young couples. Ring up another sale and another (presumably) satisfied customer for Goffs Condoms to Go. Heres hoping the couples marriage outlasts their furniture. (While were at it, lets hope theyve heard of Scotchgard. Eww.) What they may lack in taste, they appear to make up for in enthusiasm.
Taste, hope, satisfaction, comfort and sex: Its all part of the romance business for the diminutive Goff, a 60-something grandmother who left a career in landscaping design to open her first shop for sexy Dallasites in 1992. Since then, her chain of prophylactic, lube and novelty shops has grown to a chain of stores, the latest called Saras Secret, a name she adopted to avoid a repeat of run-ins she has had with religious folk who would rather not see the word condoms glowing in red neon letters on suburban storefronts. Its the same merchandise, minus the picketing, the protesters writing down her customers license plate numbers and the visits from local cops. Well, cops still visitin fact, Goff says she works closely with local police chiefs to allay any community worriesbut they come in as customers these days.
If I went in under Condoms to Go, I guarantee you theyd be picketing me, Goff says of the new name.
Of course, that which we call a dildo would, by any other name, get you off, but some people would just as soon not know that. In a way, you can include Goff among their number. Since its illegal in Texas to sell anything intended to stimulate the genitals, dont go into a Condoms to Go store and ask the clerk for a vibratorin the same way you dont go into your local head shop looking for a bong. Condoms to Go doesnt stock dildos. They do have a wide, multihued variety of novelties, which sometimes just happen to be shaped like big penises.
Battery-powered penises. That vibrate.
I just sell them, Goff says. I dont ask them what they use them for.
Ah, Texas. It may be 2006 in other parts of the worldEurope, say, or New York. Here, were still creeping up on the new century, sexually speaking. Not that its slowed down Goffs business any. Two years ago Condoms to Go was named one of the top 100 fastest-growing businesses in DFW by SMUs Cox School of Business.
Heh-heh. We said Cox.
Sorry. Went all Beavis on you there for a moment. Where were we?
Time was, to find a selection of condoms, youd have to go to the mens room at a bowling alley or filling station or risk embarrassment at your local drugstore. At Goffs stores, you leave your blushes outside in the parking lot. She aims to make her shops as unsleazy as possible. She doesnt sell porn, for instance, though if you buy enough other items, the clerk might toss in a racy DVD for free, to provide inspiration for the perspiration.
Goffs own inspiration came from her sonsort of, and not like that, you sicky. Shed been divorced several years and had raised her two kids when she decided to re-enter the dating scene. This was the age of AIDS, however, and her college-age son had some advice. If youre going to be promiscuous, you need to be safe, he kidded her. Not long after came her first store on Greenville Avenue. Since then, its been a long, sometimes bumpy ride to create a place where customers can be comfortable shopping for lovemaking aids.
Comfort is key for Goffs business plan. She carefully trains her staff about various products. She will sell to teens but only provided they first stop by with their parents, and she makes sure that some of the racier products dont end up in window displays. That care helps explain why the majority of her customers are womenparticularly in her suburban shops, where sometimes as much as 75 percent of her customers are female.
They can go into any of my stores, and they feel comfortable, not like drugstores, Goff says.
Oddly, its often men who get most embarrassed perusing the goods. Theyll eye a novelty but figure the missus wont want anything to do with it, Goff says. They say, My wife would not like this...She wouldnt let me bring this home. Id be divorced. And often enough, the women come back to close the deal.
Who says housewives are desperate? Patrick Williams
Whole Foods, we love you, but sometimes we need household cleaning products that aren't made with lemons (you also don't sell Fritos). Albertson's, you work, but you can't satisfy our craving for fresh basil pesto and imported chocolates. Until someone learns to combine these two extremes under one roof, Lovers and Greenville is still our best option. Tom Thumb's Old Town store (5809 E. Lovers Lane) is great for the basic essentials--toilet paper, garbage bags, Oreos--and it also stocks Natural Lay's, Ruffles and Cheetos, which are a million times better than any of the fancified kettle chips you'll find across the street (trust us). Central Market (5750 E. Lovers Lane), on the other hand, fulfills all of your freshest needs, while indulging our foodie flair. If you plan it right, you can make it in and out of both stores in about an hour, just in time to prepare your fresh Atlantic salmon and unclog that bathroom drain.
While he's not the only fountain of knowledge to be found at a Dallas record store (the old guys at CD Source could probably fill a canyon with all the records they've owned over the years), Good Records' C.J. Davis is undeniably the most enthusiastic, always eager to hip us to his latest musical discovery. You'll never see him roll his eyes at your guilty pleasure purchases either. No snarky High Fidelity attitude here. The guy will talk your ear off about music if you let him, and though his recommendations might not hit the mark 100 percent of the time (we're still not sure how we feel about Tunng), you'll at least hear something you wouldn't have otherwise. Thanks to C.J., you just might end up with the kind of record that will last you through 1,000 rainy days.
This is not a Best of award for every Whole Foods store on earth. This is specifically for the Lower Greenville store, because it has more East Dallas history than corporate Whole Foods probably even knows about. This store really started out across the street in the early 1970s when Harper's Head Shop began selling Tiger's Milk Bars and found there was more money in food than bongs. H&M Groceries evolved, which later became Bluebonnet, which then moved across Greenville to the current location. Whole Foods bought the store in 1986--the fifth store in the chain. It's small for a Whole Foods these days, but that just gives it the perfect intimacy for Old East Dallas, of which it is a treasured and essential element. Open every day, 8 a.m. to 10 p.m.
Rats. The milk's soured and the ground round's freezer-burned. Nothing to do for that but order in--again--or trek to the supermarket. It's a ponderous task, but the Kroger Signature Store on Mockingbird Lane offers some accoutrements other area grocers cannot and avoids those that make for a frustrating shopping trip. If you just need some garlic, why sift through 1,000 different kinds at the gourmet grocers? Kroger's got your plain and simple cloves. Here's the value-added part: The foodstuffs look good, but there's other stuff to look at too. By the fried pies are some cutie-pies. Scanning the fresh fruit are some ferocious SMU frosh. Yes, the selection is fine--from foreign foods to sushi--but the eye candy is even more divine. Like the '80s scene at the Old Town Tom Thumb, this has become the store that's now destination uno for anyone with "tasty hookup" on his or her shopping list.

Sharing Columbia's Civil Rights legacy
By Peggy Binette, firstname.lastname@example.com, 803-777-7704
A University of South Carolina historian, student and a group of alumni are raising awareness about Columbia's role in the Civil Rights Movement.
Historian Bobby Donaldson, along with alumni Columbia Mayor Steven Benjamin, Robin Waites, Sam Johnson, Carrie Phillips, Kim Jamieson and doctoral student Ramon Jackson are guiding Columbia SC 63, a project to commemorate 50 years since the height of civil rights activism.
The project continues a year of public programs Sunday, March 3, with a trio of events that will highlight the driving force that student activism played. Students from Allen University and Benedict College organized local sit-ins, and students from around the state participated in a march to the S.C. State House on March 2, 1961, which led to arrests and later, the 1963 U.S. Supreme Court ruling Edwards v. South Carolina.
"Students from across South Carolina played a decisive role in the nation's civil rights struggle. The Edwards case led to a landmark decision that affirmed freedom of speech and civil disobedience in movements around the county," says Donaldson, an associate professor in the College of Arts and Sciences and principal of Preston Residential College.
The "We Shall Not Be Moved: A Commemoration of Student Activism in Columbia and the 50thAnniversary of Edwards v. South Carolina" events on March 3 will include a church service and an afternoon reunion, panel discussion and reception.
The church service will take place at 10:45 a.m. at Zion Baptist Church at 801 Washington St., the site from which students marched in 1961. The afternoon events will take place 3 – 5 p.m. at the Columbia Metropolitan Convention Center. Panelists will include U.S. Rep. James Clyburn, Simon Bouie, Charles Barr, Bobby Doctor, DeeDee Wright, S.C. Rep. Leola Robinson-Simpson and James Edwards, for whom the case is named.
In addition to the panel, there will be a special viewing of footage of the Columbia sit-ins from 50 years ago that was discovered recently by historians and staff at USC's Moving Image Research Center (MIRC).
With the aid of newspapers, photographs, archival documents and production notes, Donaldson, Jackson and Greg Wilsbacher were able to confirm that old film from the WIS-TV archives contained scenes of student demonstrations and arrests.
"Dr. Donaldson asked MIRC to locate any student demonstration footage we could find from WIS. So, we rolled up our sleeves and went to work, looking carefully into those elements of the WIS Television News Collection that have not been fully catalogued," says Wilsbacher, MIRC's curator for Newsfilm Collections. "With the help of Ramon Jackson we found the Edwards march and a number of other important Civil Rights news stories form the early 1960s."
It will be the first time that the Civil Rights student activists, many now in their 70s, will have seen the footage.
A reception will take place after the panel and film viewing. While the event is free, seating is limited. Tickets can be reserved online or by calling 803-252-7742 ext. 15.

I've got a site that I'm trying to optimise for Google Page Speed.
There's a couple of issues that are still outstanding; one telling me I need to Specify a Character Set
I've tried with two separate Char Sets:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; UTF-8" />
<meta charset="UTF-8" />
...with neither passing Page Speed check.
What am I doing wrong? What is the correct Char Set for an HTML5 page?
Do you administer the server this is on? If not, try to add this to .htaccess:
AddDefaultCharset Off AddCharset ISO-8859-1 .html AddCharset ISO-8859-1 .htm AddCharset UTF-8 .xml
If you're serving as XHTML 1.0 you officially must specify the charset in the headers.
So if I add the above code to the .htaccess file I don't have to specify a charset in the header?
It won't hurt to specify it (the same) in both, but no, if you add the above then it should be in the headers, which is XHTML 1.0 compliant.
Spot on - cheers mate. I'll give that a go tonight.
When you say "it doesn't pass", what does that mean? You don't need the closing slash in HTML5. This shoud be fine:
<meta charset="utf-8">
I mean the google page speed checker picks up I haven't specified a Character Set - although I thought I had.
Really? I have closing / in all my metas and the page passes the html5 validation.
Yes, either is OK in HTML5. But personally, I think it looks messy.

Negative blood and urine test but have all early pregnancy symptoms!
Please help as much as you can!
I'm on the Depo Provera injection, but it is close to the end of the 3 month cycle.
My partner and I use the withdrawal method as I've never had a problem with the injection.
Anyway, about 2 - 3 weeks ago I started a dose of antibiotics and we didn't think twice about using any more protection.
But over the last week I have slowly started experiencing early pregnancy symptoms.
Infact, I did a quiz and had 20 out of 20 symptoms. Yet low and behold, an home test and a blood test have both come back negative.
I already have a 3 year old daughter and when I was pregnant with her my blood test came back positive at 5 weeks.
Now, I know that usually most symptoms can be explained by PMS but I have never had any symptoms of PMS, so I am very confused.
I know my body and I know something isn't right but I'm just wondering if I am over reacting or if someone else has possibly been in the same type of situation?

Hello Chloeanne,
Welcome to the forums!
From what I gather from your post, you are on the Depo Provera injection, and it should still be working fully as you are still within the 3 month cycle. You also mentioned that your partner and you use the withdrawal method. So it sounds like you're using two forms of birth control.
You mention that over the last week you started experiencing early pregnancy symptoms but both a home pregnancy test and a blood test came back negative. You mentioned that you took a quiz and learned that you had 20 symptoms.
There are a few things that come to mind.
1. The blood test could have been done too early to detect hCG, because it can take up to 12 days for an embryo to implant (6 days being the earliest). Once implantation occurs hCG levels will double every 2 to 3 days. So if it takes 2 days for hCG levels to become greater than 5 mIU/ml you would be looking at a positive test around 14 days post conception (if implantation did not happen earlier than 12 days after conception).
If implantation happened at 12 days and it was just too early to detect hCG, you could still experience pregnancy symptoms from rising levels of progesterone. But 20 symptoms seems like a lot for that early in pregnancy.
What makes much more sense to me is that you are experiencing hormonal imbalance. Hormonal imbalance can mimic pregnancy symptoms and this makes it really hard to tell whether you're pregnant or not, just from symptoms.
The fact that you got a negative urine and blood test, along with the fact that you were using two forms of birth control lead me to believe that it is more probable that you are experiencing hormonal imbalance than early pregnancy.
I would encourage you to take another home pregnancy test 7 days after the last to confirm that you are not pregnant. And in the mean time, I would encourage you to reduce stress, eat a really healthy diet (avoiding sugar, simple carbohydrates, white flour products, pasta and white rice). Be sure to eat at least two green salads a day, and drink plenty of pure water. Squeezing 1/2 of a fresh lemon into a glass of water and drinking that each morning is cleansing to the body and can help balance hormones. If you have a juicer, try juicing some apples with kale. Kale is really high in calcium and protein and is wonderful for taking stress off the liver and helping hormones to become more balanced. Another thing you can do is to take a tablespoon of olive oil 30 minutes before lunch and dinner. Daily exercise will help as well. All of these things can be done even if you are pregnant but will also help to balance hormones if you are not.
Please be aware that I have heard of many women who used the Depo Provera injection and then had a really hard time getting pregnant when they wanted to... in fact some experienced infertility and were not able to conceive. Depo Provera definitely has it's risks. I would encourage you to learn how to read your body's fertility signs and then use the withdrawal method along with natural family planning (this is not the Rhythm Method).
I hope this helps some and feel free to post back with any questions.
Warm Regards,

| » Santa Cruz reels from officers' deaths
Editor's Note: Earlier published reports said Santa Cruz police detective Elizabeth Butler grew up in Torrance. Butler went to school in Torrance but lived in Lomita.
By Larry Altman Staff Writer
Alexis Butler was proud of her younger sister, Elizabeth, a Santa Cruz police detective who grew up in Lomita. Maybe even a bit jealous, she acknowledges.
"Jealous in the way someone is really doing a job that they love and gets paid for it," the sister said. "There was a career path and it fit into what she liked to do. It seemed like a dream."
Elizabeth Butler, a 10-year veteran police officer, died in the line of duty Tuesday while investigating a sexual assault. A gunman opened fire on the 38-year-old officer and her partner, 28-year veteran Loran "Butch" Baker, killing both when they walked up to his door to talk to him.
Butler and Baker were the first police officers killed in the line of duty in the history of the Santa Cruz department.
"I think she always wanted to do a job that served the public," her sister said. "She just seemed always to be very well-adjusted and happy and super fun. The thing about her job, she really liked to investigate things."
Butler, who attended St. Margaret Mary Catholic Church school in Lomita, never planned for a career as a police officer while attending Bishop Montgomery High School in Torrance, where she was a member of the California Scholarship Federation and the Mountaineering Club, and competed in volleyball and track.
Butler majored in community studies at the University of California, Santa Cruz, and worked jobs where she could help people, including at a children's center and at Lenders for Community Development, an organization that helped provide loans to largely minority families to start businesses.
Butler then moved to San Francisco, where she met her boyfriend, artist Peter Wu, in a ceramics class.
The couple fell in love and, after checking out Portland, Ore., as a possible site for Wu to open a ceramics studio, chose Santa Cruz.
With money tight, and openings at the Police Department, Butler applied to become a police officer. The job would allow her to make use of her ability to speak fluent Spanish and her desire to help people.
"She ended up being a really good police officer," her sister said. "She loved the job."
Handling sex crimes, Butler excelled at conducting interviews and interrogations, and interviewing children, her sister said. Two weeks ago, Butler investigated the shooting of a 21-year-old woman during a robbery at a bus stop.
Butler never became depressed, despite the nature of her work, Alexis Butler said.
"My sister believed in the innate goodness of people," her sister said. "She didn't dwell on it."
In a June 4, 2011, blog post on the Santa Cruz Police Department's website, Butler said she enjoyed working with residents of her city.
"Solving criminal cases with the community's help and participation is the most fulfilling aspect of police work," Butler said. "We are here to serve the residents of the City of Santa Cruz and make this a safe place to live and raise families."
During her career, Butler worked as a patrol officer, hostage negotiator, a bike officer, a narcotics investigator and walked a downtown foot beat.
At home, Butler and her boyfriend were raising their two children, sons Joaquin, 5, and Stellan, 2. She took them to school, to the park and music class. Butler's mother, Louise, moved from her Lomita home to care for the children while their mother worked a police officer's odd hours and overtime.
"They had a really happy family," Alexis Butler said. "They had just gone to the beach last weekend as a family."
Santa Cruz Police Chief Keith Vogel called Tuesday the darkest day in the department's history. The suspected shooter, Jeremy Peter Goulet, 35, was killed in a gunbattle with police officers about 30 minutes after shooting Butler and her partner.
Alexis Butler said she had never worried about her sister, even though she realized she was in a high-risk job. She called her sister's death the result of "senseless violence." Calling herself a pacifist, Alexis Butler said she did not hold the same views about guns as her sister. The shooting, and other recent high-profile killings, makes Alexis Butler wonder "about every person being able to have access to guns."
"It seems like they are saying that the police were just following a regular review process," the sister said. "It just seems like someone opening a door and killing police officers at the door - it's wrong."
Alexis Butler planned to travel to Santa Cruz today to join her mother. Their father, Jerry, died several years ago.
"(My sister) was a very admirable person and she never faltered," she said. "She was a good person and she was compassionate toward people. Just last weekend she said she wished more women would become police officers."

Satsang is a very significant word - it means the presence of the master. It cannot be translated into English because there has never been such a thing as satsang in English.
In India, in the whole of the East, this is the most precious thing - just to be in the presence of the master; not doing anything, just being there. The very closeness works like a catalytic agent. You don't do anything, the master is not going to do anything - nobody is a doer - but things happen. Just the meeting of the energies and things happen.
Satsang means in the presence of the master - and that is going to be your sadhana. Remember me as much as you can, and feel me present everywhere, whatsoever you are doing. Let that become a constant milieu around you. Let me surround you and let me drown you..
Now you've made me confused!
That's my whole business! If you are confused I make you clear. If you are clear I make you confused!
I'm becoming very disturbed by sudden noises when I am in meditation, particularly in the lectures [given under a tent] when birds fly by. In dreaming too, I'm feeling physical sensations that are like shocks to my body. And I am overeating continuously. However many times I vow not to overeat, I continue to do so.
So let us take one by one.
In deep meditation the body becomes very sensitive, and even a bird's noise can be a tremendous disturbance. When you are really sensitive and deep, anything - a small ripple - is disturbing. But it will happen in the beginning because you are not attuned to that much sensitivity.
By and by you will settle in it. Then it will become ordinary and nothing will disturb it. Then again you will go deeper, and then again a disturbance will come. This will happen on many layers. There are at least seven layers, and whenever one layer becomes sensitive for the first time, it will be a disturbance. You will feel very fragile and anything can hurt you deeply. You can feel as if you are falling apart, but don't be worried.

Separate articles on him will be found in the collected essays of the chief modern French critics from Sainte-Beuve onwards.
Perhaps a literary critic, like Sainte-Beuve with shining Monday morning reviews.
History, says Sainte-Beuve, is in great part a set of fables which people agree to believe in.
Even if we had Sainte-Beuve's scalpel, we could not surprise the secret.
The day after leaving Bombay he got through the best part of a volume of Sainte-Beuve.
Sainte-Beuve, 100 francs,'—this was what was to be read there.
Sainte-Beuve and Balzac were two of the earliest of her literary friends, among whom she numbered also Heine.
Sainte-Beuve calls her the Fontenelle of women, but it was Fontenelle tempered with a heart.
He was only once in Paris (in 1839), when Sainte-Beuve, who has left some pleasant reminiscences of him, met him.
Such was precisely the course which Sainte-Beuve himself followed.

Editor's note • This is the seventh story in a series profiling people and organizations helping those in need during the holidays and throughout the year.
Sugar Doodle Kids is an expression of an entrepreneur shaped by grief, interactivity and a social cause.
Nick Whatcott, who is enrolled in the Westminster College MBA program, and his wife wanted to create something more than just a business, especially since it was created in the memory of their late son.
"My wife and I wanted to honor our son, Cole, who we lost when he was just six days old," Nick Whatcott said recently at a launch party for a line of children's sleepwear they've helped to create for charity. "When kids are hungry and worried about their next meal, they can't concentrate on all they are capable of."
To help fight hunger in Utah, Whatcott came up with a business that will benefit the Utah Food Bank and other organizations fighting hunger, while also giving youngsters a venue for their artwork. They decided to name the company Sugar Doodle Kids.
At Sugardoodlekids.com, youngsters and adults can submit their artwork online. The company then allows customers to vote on their favorite designs, then prints the artwork with the most votes onto high-end children's sleepwear. For every product sold, a meal is given to the Utah Food Bank children's backpack program.
By selling children's pajamas on the Web rather than setting up a brick-and-mortar shop, the Whatcotts can keep costs down and find customers all over Utah and the world.
In turn, parents can find that perfect pajama set without driving all over town, while helping end hunger.
"We didn't create a nonprofit on purpose because you're always looking for funding, but we wanted something sustainable," Whatcott, 32, said. "Our tagline is 'Dream in Comfort.' Kids can't progress in life if they can't eat."
Janessa Whatcott said that the idea was to honor the couple's late son and to take social action against the hunger problem.
"Instead of taking it as anger and sadness, we're determined to make it into a positive," she said.
The Whatcotts said they're interested in combining a business with a social cause, a concept that has grown in recent years along with the popularity of social media, such as Facebook. Think of the popular Tom Shoes, which gives away a pair of shoes for every pair sold.
Sugar Doodle Kids was showcased at the first launch party sponsored by Westminster's Center for Entrepreneurship, which officials said has helped 54 startup companies.
While enrolled in the MBA program, Whatcott used the resources at the Center for Entrepreneurship to refine Sugar Doodle Kids' business plan.
"We offer one-on-one mentoring," Linda Muir, the center director, said at the launch party. "We help [MBA students] find resources and angel investors."
The Whatcotts said they hope Sugar Doodle Kids will grow many branches, not only offering children's sleepwear, but also a venue for young artists.
The company holds artwork competitions on the website, where the public can vote on their favorite designs. And artists can earn from $50 to $300.
Kayden Genta, 11, won the first design contest, earning $50 for his snowman design that will be featured on future pajamas.
"The snowman goes with Christmas," Kayden said succinctly about his design.
Over the past few years, Whatcott has won several awards for his charitable business ideas. He was a finalist in the TechTITANS 2011 Idea Challenge, a statewide entrepreneur contest open to all college students. And Sugar Doodle Kids won the Impact Award for its social mission and took third place in the GreenTITAN contest that recognizes the best social enterprises.
Jordon Roberts, Utah Food Bank volunteer manager, said there are two programs benefiting from the new sleepwear business: an after-school program giving students hot meals, and the backpack program, in which students get food to take home so they can eat over the weekend.
With 129 partner groups, Utah Food Bank officials said that for every dollar donated, it reaps $8 in goods and services.
For the Whatcotts, it makes for the perfect blend of entrepreneurial business and social activism.
"We'd love to do this as a career," Nick said. "We're just starting online, but we'll have a storefront. This is a real niche.
"Our kids wanted to hang out in their pajamas all the time, even at the store, so this just all made sense."

School of Seven Bells guitarist Benjamin Curtis dead at 35
Listen to School of Seven Bells on iHeartRadio
School of Seven Bells guitarist Benjamin Curtis has lost his year-long battle with cancer.
A statement from the indie rock band says the 35-year-old died Sunday night in New York City.
Curtis announced back in February that he had been diagnosed with T-Cell Lymphoblastic Lymphoma, but was undergoing aggressive chemotherapy treatment in an effort to fight the disease.
Some of his fellow musicians - including Interpol's Paul Banks, the Strokes' Albert Hammond Jr., and Devendra Banhart - took part in various benefit concerts to raise funds for the treatment.
The band says they can't thank everyone enough for all the support, adding that it gave Curtis the opportunity to see "how truly loved he was and how many lives he had touched through his music."
Curtis formed School of Seven Bells with Alejandra Deheza and her sister Claudia in 2007. They put out three studio albums together, including what turned out to be their final release, 2012's Ghostory.

WATCH: Mo. State Fair's Obama Clown Stirs Up Brouhaha
(NEWSER) – The Missouri State Fair is facing backlash over a rodeo clown modeled after President Obama, theKansas City Star reports. The clown, clad in an Obama mask, appeared during a bull riding event; the announcer repeatedly asked the crowd whether "anyone would like to see Obama run down by a bull," according to Show Me Progress, which says the audience was whipped "into a lather." Another clown reportedly played with the lips of the Obama mask, and the clown eventually had to jump aside to avoid a bull. "I felt like I was at a Klan rally," said one fair visitor, per the Raw Story.
