Best Off Road Truck Engine SwapsPosted in How To on December 1, 2009
We've all been there at one point or another...You know what we're talking about. "What engine should I drop into my truck?" This sort of dilemma is usually a result of prolonged bench racing sessions. Most of us ask a couple of friends and fellow wheelers what they think about certain engines and if they think it would be a wise choice for our personal off-road rig. The options are fairly wide when it comes to choosing engines for your off-road toy.
Crate engines are a viable source when searching for more powerful motivation. Most companies that sell crate engines these days offer great warranties for their products as well as technical support in case you need some assistance with your build. Some of them even offer the option to custom build it to your specifications and needs.
In case you don't have a few grand burning a hole in your pocket, salvage yards may be the solution to your power problems. The key thing to remember when scrounging around a salvage yard is that you never know what you're going to find in the next jalopy. Crumpled fenders or bedsides may be a good indication that the engine you are looking at may still be good. Junkyard shopping is an art form that takes years of experience to master. Keep in mind that looking around the entire lot may lead to a heck of a find, but make sure you don't forget where you found your treasure. Putting a loose tire on the roof of a potential candidate is a good way to mark where your discovery is incase you walk away to poach elsewhere.
We felt the need to fuel the fire a bit and decided to give you our opinions on what we think are some of the best engines out there to use in your off-road toy.
GM Performance Parts LS3 376/480
Why go with an LS3? Why not! The lightweight small block produces enough power to muscle its way through any difficult terrain while still giving you excellent street manners. This LS3 has all the good qualities of the smooth idling LS engines yet produces enough power to make you think it's a big block, thanks to the LS Hot Cam (p/n 12617570) that features 0.525-inch intake and exhaust valve lifts that allows for a dramatic increase in power across the power band.
Displacement: 376ci 6.2L V-8
Horsepower: 480 hp
Torque: 475 lb-ft
Block material: Cast aluminum
Bore x stroke: 4.06 x 3.62 in.
Weight: 415 pounds
Features: High flowing rectangular port cylinder heads, 1.7:1 roller rockers, 6-Bolt aluminum block, nodular crank, high performance rods, and 10.7:1 hypereutectic aluminum slugs.
Warranty: 24-month GMPP limited warranty
Average price: $7,356.55
What to use it in: Any LS powered Chevy and GMC truck as well as mini truck and buggies that need more power in mud slinging action or high speed desert applications
Ford 408ci ATK Stroker V-8 Crate Engine Drag racers have long known the benefits of running a 351W based 408ci stroker. These engines command respect, and rightfully so since it has more stump pulling power than a stock big block. If you drive a Bronco and are tired of getting spanked by small block Blazers, this is exactly what you need. Though this engine is limited to only 5800 rpms, they are very reliable in off-road trucks because you don't need to hammer the throttle to get some monstrous power to the wheels.
Displacement: 408ci Windsor based V-8
Horsepower: 430 hp
Torque: 480 lb-ft
Block material: Cast iron
Bore x stroke: 4.030 x 4.000 in.
Weight: 550 pounds
Features: 60cc aluminum cylinder heads with 2.02 inch intake and 1.60 inch exhaust valves and 180cc intake runners, 1.7:1 roller rockers, big hydraulic roller cam with 0.512-inch intake and exhaust lift, nodular iron crank, I beam rods, and 10.0:1 forged pistons
Warranty: 24-month / unlimited mile warranty
Average price: $5,999
What to use it in: Any Bronco or F-150 that has a tired engine. An engine like this would definitely give it a serious attitude adjustment while letting you retain all of your old EFI equipment. If you just want something other than a mouse motor in your Ranger, Toyota mini truck, Jeep CJ or Wrangler this engine will give you all the power you could ask for and then some.
AMC Third Gen V-8
This is one of those oddball engines that are not as mainstream as the other big three's engines but nonetheless it is a great engine that offers monstrous torque. They can be had for practically nothing and if you treat them right, they can live a long life and turn your slow Jeep into a dirt rocket.
Displacement: 304ci, 360ci and 401ci
What they came in: They were produced from '70 to '91 and were available in the Jeep CJ7, Wagoneer, Cherokee, Grand Wagoneer, J-10 and J-20 trucks
Horsepower: 125 to 255 hp
Torque: 220 to 435 lb-ft
Features: Dog leg exhaust ports which build more power than the previous designs, larger piston bores paired with shorter strokes for gobs of torque
Benefits: Inexpensive to purchase at a wrecking yard or online, not a small block Chevy, keeps your Jeep AMC powered, awesome lumpy exhaust note, produces enough power and torque to lift a 39-inch tire off the left front of a CJ-7 under hard launches
Drawbacks: Obsolete parts that can be expensive to repair or replace, stock axles and drivetrain can break under the torque of the AMC V8.
Make It Better: Install a big lumpy cam along with a set of Edelbrock AMC Performer RPM aluminum cylinder heads.
What to use it in: Any Jeep CJ7, Wrangler YJ or TJ that needs to turn massive tires and calls for a V8 that isn't a Chevy or Dodge power plant, would make a great engine choice for a class 3 desert racing Jeep
Nissan 5.6L Endurance V-8
Nissan did it right when they built the 5.6L V-8 Titan engine. Their all aluminum engine delivers a huge amount of stump-pulling power which naturally makes it a great engine choice for underpowered Nissans. The tough bottom end torque of the 5.6L V-8 as well as its highly efficient 32-valve DOHC design help this engine perform like the big block that it isn't.
Displacement: 5.6L
Horsepower: 317 hp
Torque: 385 lb-ft
Block material: Aluminum
Bore x stroke: 98 x 92 mm
Features: 9.8:1 compression, 32-valve DOHC, 6,000 rpm redline, aluminum block and cylinder heads
Benefits: Very good power to weight ratio, decent torque band, gnarly sounding exhaust note
Drawbacks: Is not exactly known for good fuel economy. If you put it in a lightweight truck, it's bound to be fuel efficient.
Make It Better: Slap on a Stillen supercharger for more power than you'll know what to do with
What to use it in: Any Nissan Patrol, Xterra or Frontier that will see high-speed desert action would be a real joy to drive with this monster under the hood Average price: Vary; check your local auto recyclers and online ads for wrecked Titans
GM Performance Parts HT502
No matter how you spin it, there's simply nothing quite like a big block engine. With 512 lb-ft of torque, this engine can conquer anything you dish out against it. Heavy trucks such as crew cab Chevys are awesome double-duty rigs, but when the tire size increases, the stock engine is simply not going to cut it-good thing you can revitalize it with the HT502 crate engine. This would be the perfect engine to use in classic '67-to-'72 Suburbans.
Displacement: 502ci
Horsepower: 377 hp
Torque: 512 lb-ft
Block material: Cast-iron with 4-bolt main caps
Bore x stroke: 4.47 x 4.00 in.
Features: Four bolt main caps, Iron oval port cylinder heads, 1.7:1 stamped steel rockers, forged steel crank, forged steel, shot-peened connecting rods, 8.75:1 forged aluminum pistons, and a hydraulic roller cam that features 0.480 intake and 0.483 exhaust valve lift
Warranty: 24-month / 50,000-mile GMPP limited warranty
Average price: $6,818.40
What to use it in: Any tow rig or mud bogger that needs more power than the stock engine can deliver.
Mopar 4.7L Stroker Jeep Crate Engine
There's no torque like that of the venerable Jeep inline six! It's a shame to let these engines go to waste just because they aren't as powerful as a V-8. And besides, that's not necessarily the case because Mopar has you covered with their 4.7L stroker crate engine. V-8 power in a solid straight-six, there's no reason not to keep your Jeep straight six powered!
Displacement: 4.7L V-8
Horsepower: 270 hp
Torque: 240 lb-ft
Block material: Cast-iron
Bore x stroke: 3.875 x 3.906 in
Weight: 515 pounds
Features: New nodular iron lightweight crank, roller rockers
Benefits: V-8 power with inline six torque, you don't have to modify anything to get it to fit
Drawbacks: Not as powerful as most would like it to be
Make It Better: 505 Performance makes a turbo kit for the 4.0L Jeep inline six
Warranty: 90-day limited warranty
Average price: $5,500 MSRP
What to use it in: Any Jeep, of course! Perfect for any Jeep that is used as a trail rig and requires just enough power to climb over obstacles.
Toyota 5.7L V-8
The Tundra's 5.7L V-8 has given the big three a run for their money as far as big power goes. With just over 400 lb-ft of torque, it's no wonder the Tundra can haul-even on 35-inch rubber...and that's without re-gearing it! Simply put, there is no reason to not want a menacing engine such as this that can power through the ruts and fly down the highways like nobody's business.
Displacement: 5.7L
Horsepower: 381 hp
Torque: 401 lb-ft
Block material: Aluminum
Bore x stroke: 3.70 x 4.02 in.
Weight: 483.5 pounds
Features: 10.2:1 compression, 32-valve DOHC with dual independent variable valve timing with intelligence (VVT-i), aluminum block and cylinder heads, dual stage intake manifold
Benefits: Very good power to weight ratio, earth moving torque, big block tendencies, Toyota reliability.
Drawbacks: Requires extensive research, knowledge and modifications to swap into your project truck, you need to dig deep in your pockets to use one of these as a daily driver because they are definitely thirsty thumpers-especially since they may cause lead foot syndrome.
What to use it in: Any rock crawling, desert conquering, and mud slinging Toyota truck. This would be a sweet engine to use in FJ55s, FJ60s, as well as FJ80s for an all Toyota capable rig.
Make it better: Slap on a TRD supercharger for 504 horsepower and 550 lb-ft. of monster rubber-roasting torque.
Ford 460ci Big Block
The 385 series is one of the toughest engine platforms ever built and will leave a big smile on your face with its enormous power. You can find these engines powering dragsters, mud boggers, and desert racing trucks everywhere. If you want your heavy Bronco or F-150 to move like a sports car, drop one of these in between the frame rails and get ready to empty your wallet at the pump. You'll be lucky if you can average 10-12 mpg with one of these under the hood-either way, these engines will always get the job done making any obstacle seam about as hard as climbing a curb.
Displacement: 460ci 7.5L V-8
What they came in: These engines were produced from '68-to-'97 and were available in early full size luxury cars (boats) as well as full size Ford trucks until '97. The last 460ci was sold in the '97 F-250/F350 pick-up truck.
Horsepower: 245 to 375 hp
Torque: 415 to 490 lb-ft
Block material: Cast-iron
Bore x stroke: 4.36 x 3.85 in
Weight: 720 pounds
Features: Big bore and short stroke for tons of low end torque.
Benefits: Can be had for almost nothing and are solid reliable engines in many applications-lots of low end stump pulling torque!
Drawbacks: Will pass everything except a gas station
Make It Better: Swap in a good set of aluminum cylinder heads, aggressive cam, aluminum high rise intake, headers, and at least a 750 CFM carburetor-you can bet you'll feel a big difference!
What to use it in: Use this in any Ford truck that you plan to run hard or where gobs of power are needed. This is the perfect engine for a giant mud truck.
Toyota 4.0L V-6
If you've driven an FJ Cruiser or Tacoma with the 4.0L V-6, than you know they are no slouch when it comes to off the line acceleration. Toyota did their homework improving the design of the already stout 3.4L V-6 to create a ferocious little engine. This engine is capable of making mid sized trucks drive as if they were powered by a V-8. This would be the perfect engine to use in first gen 4runners as well as Toyota mini trucks and desert carving first-gen Tacomas.
Displacement: 4.0L
Horsepower: 236 HP
Torque: 266 lb-ft
Block material: Aluminum
Bore x stroke: 3.70 x 3.74 in.
Weight: 366 lbs. (automatic trans.) 395 lbs. (manual trans.)
Features: 10.0:1 compression, 24-valve DOHC with variable valve timing with intelligence (VVT-i), aluminum block and cylinder heads, dual stage intake manifold
Benefits: Light weight aluminum V-6, outstanding reliability in any environment, delivers a powerful punch as well as very good fuel millage
Drawbacks: Not a V-8, might require extensive research, knowledge and modifications to swap into older Tacoma's and 4runner's
What to use it in: Any Toyota mini truck or 4runner as well as Tacomas that need more speed than the 3.4L can offer.
Make it better: TRD supercharger!
Mopar 6.1L Hemi Crate Engine
Ever since the 6.1L Hemi debuted, it has commanded respect with its incredible low end grunt as well as its top end power. This engine is no slouch and can perform in everything from slow trail rides and rock crawling to warp speed desert blasting runs. Drop this in between the frame rails of old Ram Chargers, Rams as well as Jeep Cherokees of all types. This engine will turn your heavy truck into a quick-nimble off-road rig.
Displacement: 6.1L V-8
Horsepower: 425 horsepower
Torque: 420 lb-ft
Block material: Cast-iron
Bore x stroke: 4.055 x 3.58 in
Weight: 578 lbs.
Features: Stock SRT V-8 engine
Benefits: It's a Hemi! It idles smooth. Big power and torque in a reliable package that will give you years of off-road fun.
Warranty: 90 day limited warranty
Average price: $6,250 MSRP
What to use it in: Any Mopar rig that needs some modern muscle to propel it through anything in its path. Older Dodge Rams as well as Ram Chargers would be the perfect candidate for these high powered Mopar monsters.

Brits abroad - Mark Burke
Continuing our Brits abroad series in which we speak to players to get the lowdown on their time overseas, Adam Bate talks to former Aston Villa, Middlesbrough and Wolves man Mark Burke about his unique career path that took him from Holland to Romania via Japan.
By Adam Bate - Follow @GhostGoal
Last Updated: 11/12/12 10:34am
Mark Burke had enjoyed a promising career in England with Aston Villa, Middlesbrough and Wolves. But the adventure only really began after leaving Port Vale to join Fortuna Sittard in Holland as a 26-year-old in 1995. It kicked off a journey that took him to Japan, Romania and Sweden. Adam Bate caught up with him to discuss his extraordinary experiences.
You had quite a world tour. How did it all begin for you?
I always wanted to play abroad. When I was about 12 my sports teacher told me it would suit me. I was interested in foreign football even in the days when you couldn't see it on television. I think the idea of being paid for living abroad just fascinated me! It finally happened after I left Port Vale in 1995. I got this phone call from Terry Lees, who was a friend of Pim Verbeek, the Fortuna Sittard coach. Terry had seen my name on the list of free agents and told Pim that I was well worth a look. I was keen and so I was told to expect a call at 9am the next day. Sure enough I got a call at 9am on the dot - that's the Dutch - and a day later I was out there.
And it went well straight away didn't it?
My first game was against De Graafschap and I scored the winner in the last ten minutes to make it 1-0. My second game was against Ajax and I remember standing in the tunnel looking at their team. There was De Boer, Reiziger, Kluivert, Davids, Overmars and the rest. I couldn't believe it. This was what I'd always wanted to do and I'd been playing for Port Vale a few months earlier!
Did you settle quickly off the field?
I think going to Middlesbrough as a teenager had helped me. If I had stayed at Villa, my hometown club, until I was 26 years old then it would have been difficult to ever go abroad. Luckily for me - what with scoring on my debut and everything - it worked, but usually when you go to a new country it's hard to do it straight away. There's a new language, a new culture and a new style of football. It's just the little things.
On the field, for instance, what's good in one country is not good in another. I'll give you an example. That second game against Ajax. Preparing for the match in training, one of the players made a run and I went with him. The coach said: "Stop! Don't run with him." I was shocked. He realised that if I followed that run then Danny Blind or Frank De Boer would just step into the space.
In England it's a totally different thinking. If you don't follow that run people will wonder what you're playing at. The Dutch are thinkers. They think more about the game than we do. We have this idea of the Dutch being very liberal but that's not really true - it's an extremely regimented and organised culture and the football is the same. It's organised to the smallest detail.
I had a lot of ideas about football before I went there but it was in Holland that I learnt how to organise them. In that first year I found out so much. Pim Verbeek really took me under his wing. We used to drive all over Holland just watching games to introduce me to the different styles and how teams played. It was a real football education.
Do you think it suited you as a player?
To be honest, it probably suited my game more out there. In England, things were more rigid. If I was playing on the wing they'd just be telling me to stay out there. My instinct told me that if I did that then the full-back would always know where I was so I used to drift in. It was the same when I played up front and used to drop off. Now they call it playing 'between the lines' and everyone says how great it is. That's why all this stuff about English players not being technically good annoys me. Paul Scholes is technically as good as anyone in the world. The players can do it but the way we play is not conducive to that.
You clearly found it a lot more tactical in Holland?
Everywhere I have been, whether it's Holland, Romania or Japan, the team trains in the week in the same way that they want to play on the Saturday. Jose Mourinho always prepares for the next game and he got that from Louis Van Gaal. It's a Dutch thing. When I was in England, the training was more about just ticking over. The Dutch used to say that with the English it was just bezig blijven - keeping busy. We trained one way and then come the match everyone panicked and went nuts!
That's one of the things I found out in Holland. Pim took me to see Go Ahead Eagles play that great Ajax side one week and he called the game before we went. He told me that Go Ahead would come at Ajax hard early on and maybe score. But Ajax would keep passing and continue playing the same way and eventually they'd win. I couldn't believe it when that's exactly what happened! You see Barcelona doing it now. They don't panic and change the way they play because they've worked out that's the best way for them to win games.
You had a good team at Fortuna Sittard and also worked for some high-profile coaches in Pim Verbeek and Bert van Marwijk...
We had a really good team at Fortuna Sittard. Mark Van Bommel was a young lad at the time and he played as a holding midfielder with me just in front. There was Fernando Ricksen, Patrick Paauwe, Wilfried Bouma and Kevin Hofland too. It was one of the better teams they've ever had and we finished seventh in my third season.
Pim was a great coach and then Bert Van Marwijk came in and he kept that going. Van Marwijk obviously later took Holland to the World Cup Final in 2010 and I think some of the criticism he received was unfair. He was just sick of them losing and wanted to instil a winning mentality. The problem was that somewhere along the way they forgot just how good they were. If they'd have stuck to playing football they could have beaten Spain - even as it was (Arjen) Robben had a chance to win it and should have scored.
It was great watching Van Marwijk in the World Cup because I think I predicted most of his substitutions. Unfortunately, he and I didn't get on so well. I think he had some preconceived ideas about me. I used to play every game but then he'd criticise everything I did! I had a hernia in an Intertoto Cup game early on in my final year there - the 1998/99 season - and soon after that I ripped my hamstring so it was a bit of a write off for me. It was then that I got the call from my old coach Pim Verbeek - he wanted me to join him out in Japan.
Even though he wanted you out in Japan it was still a leap into the unknown though surely?
When Pim first asked me if I wanted to join him out there I remember telling him that I was only 29 and I wasn't sure. You go to Japan when you're older don't you? He went mad at me! He treated me like a son really, so I went out there to play for Omiya Ardija and it was brilliant.
I was living 20 minutes outside of Tokyo and it was a culture shock at first. Pim had to write all the station signs down for me so that I could get around because if you get lost you've had it - there are millions of people there but you can't ask anyone because nobody speaks English. It's an unbelievable place though. It's so busy and yet so peaceful at the same time.
Fortunately we had an interpreter in training and some of the Japanese players by the time I got there were great. Pim had basically been asked to build a club from scratch. The job he did was unbelievable. He put a development plan in place, introduced the Dutch philosophy and they'd completely embraced it.
He'd done such a good job that when I first went out there I thought the Japanese lads were too good for me. They were so strong technically in the 5-a-side games and they could run all day. The problem they had was that football was such a new game to them back then that they didn't fully appreciate the space on the pitch. The sort of things we take for granted because football is ingrained in us. They'd make the wrong decisions or not take responsibility.
As a result, Pim brought in a spine to the team. There was me in midfield, Jan Veenhof at the back and Jeroen Boere, who had played for West Ham, was up front. But any ambitions we had were scuppered by what happened to Jeroen soon after I arrived.
It was on a night out in Tokyo. There was some argy-bargy with an Israeli kid who threatened to kill Jeroen. It all died down but at the end of the night the lad came back over. Jeroen tried to make sure there were no hard feelings but this kid just stabbed him right in the eye. That was the end of his career. It was also the end of our hopes of getting promotion to the J-League.
Despite that tragedy, do you still have fond memories of Japan?
I still get pleasure from what Pim did out there and I stay in touch with some of my Japanese teammates. I recently went to watch Omiya's U15s play against Fortuna's U14s over in Holland and they thrashed them 15-0 or something. I've rarely enjoyed a game of football more because you could see Pim's Dutch influence in the way Omiya played. He's basically a god out there.
Pim had to return to Holland after my first year and so we had a Japanese coach. It was funny because he was literally working from Pim's manual on how to coach. But he didn't really get it. He'd ask me if he'd got something wrong. You can't coach like that and he's actually come out and admitted that since.
Then you became the first British footballer in Romania. How did that happen?
After I left Japan, a Romanian agent in Holland mentioned to Pim that Rapid Bucharest were looking for a forward. He recommended me. They were in Holland at the time, training in the local sports centre, so I thought I'd go down and give it a go. I thought they'd want to take a look at me but from day one of training it was like 'right, you're signing'.
I was only there five months but I've always said I could write a book about Romania. It was just really weird.
In what way?
It was everything but the football. One week it'd be 'the manager's not paying you this month'. The next week the secretary would tell you that you were all fined $5,000 because you'd lost. We had a famous coach called Mircea Rednic who was the best player in training by a mile - he should've still been playing - but for some reason the players wanted him out.
I noticed in this one game that something wasn't right. None of the players seemed to be trying. Something wasn't right. I walked off the pitch and said to one of the Romanian lads who'd been in Holland and told him I couldn't understand it. He just said: "Mark, this is Romania - strange things." They'd thrown the game. It's completely alien to us in Britain but in Romania it's not unusual.
Another time I was running all over the place and the players wouldn't pass it to me. When I got off the pitch I was told that the players were jealous. Then there was the time I scored the winner against the club's biggest rivals Petrolul Ploiesti - Rapid's first win there in 35 years or something. The next game was a big one against Dinamo Bucharest but I was dropped. Like I say, it was anything but the football.
Eventually the players got Rednic the sack. But this only brought in a new coach who was harder on the players. They didn't like that either so went on strike. I remember being at the ground and one minute we were training and the next minute we weren't. It was crazy - I just wanted to play. When we finally got out there we found a group of 50 to 60 fans had burst into the stands and were shouting things at the players. Obviously, I didn't understand any of it.
The coach went over and in the end we stopped training again. I told him: "You can't stop training just because the fans are shouting." He said: "Mark, they were saying that if we didn't go off they'd come on and attack all the players." We both agreed it was best we didn't train! But that's what it was like. The fans had a huge input.
Shortly afterwards I remember a game where I was picked in the team but then when we arrived at the ground I was a substitute and the coach was nowhere to be seen. By the time we came in for half-time, it was the old coach Rednic who was back and giving the team-talk! By this point I was trying to take a step back and just look at it all as social observation.
I saw some of the bad side of football with regard to football's slave trade too. Agents bring over African lads for trials but then take their passports off them and if they don't get a club they just leave them. There was this lad near my apartment who I used to just give $50 to because he had no money, it was just ridiculous.
Even the odd-job man at Rapid was different. Every club has one - a guy who gets you a cup of tea or sorts things for you. In England this was usually some old man but at Rapid it was a 12-year-old little kid that I called Johnny. I used to ask if he went to school but they just said: "This is his school. He is Rapid." He just lived at the training complex. That was Romania.
Did you never think about returning to play in England?
I came back to England in the end but if you've been away as long as I had it's actually a culture shock to come home. I trained with Rushden & Diamonds for a few days but I just couldn't get used to that again. It's funny but the lower down you go the harder it gets.
And then there was Sweden?
I had a brief spell with Brommapojkarna in 2001. They've got a great youth set-up but, sadly, didn't really have the money to pay me. I still have links to the country though. I'm now coaching at Birmingham University and I've spoken to an agent out in Sweden to arrange for some of the better players here to go out there and get fixed up with clubs.
It's not about making money. I'd recommend life abroad to anyone and if I can give these kids that chance then that'd be great. You see - being paid to live abroad - it all comes back to that!
Mark has now turned his hand to journalism and writes a regular column with Football.com.

Pa. Sisters Behind Haitian Families First Charity
PITTSBURGH (AP) – Four years after Jamie and Ali McMutrie flew 54 orphans out of an earthquake-flattened Haiti into the international spotlight, those events are still outshining the sisters' current mission to keep Haitian families together.
The harrowing 2010 evacuation, which took cooperation from the U.S. State Department, the Department of Homeland Security and former Gov. Ed Rendell, provided the foundation upon which their charity, Haitian Families First, was built. However, it also made them famous for taking children out of Haiti to new families instead of helping the country's parents to help themselves.
Once news of the postearthquake rescue spread, the McMutries became overnight celebrities. After making the rounds on CNN, " Good Morning America'' and "The Ellen Degeneres Show,'' the duo drummed up enough attention to raise $180,000 toward their efforts to bring aid to orphans. After teams of lawyers volunteered to guide them through the nonprofit 501(c)3 process pro bono, Haitian Families First was established, and the McMutries were ready to hit the ground running.
The idea behind Haitian Families First (haitianfamiliesfirst.org), which achieved official nonprofit status in 2010, is to help families in moments of crisis with medical, nutritional and educational interventions designed to keep children with parents and close relatives, Ali McMutrie explained during a discussion with her sister in their Ben Avon home last week.
"We ask (families) what is it that has got you to this point? Did you lose your job? Did someone in the family get sick? Any variation of things – and they are things that happen to people everywhere; it's not just Haiti. The difference there is the social services to provide options for them don't really exist or are not as strong as they need to be,'' she said.
Although Jamie Mc- Mutrie, 34, had been volunteering at the Port-Au-Prince Orphanage Bresma since she arrived in Haiti in 2002, a plan to keep Haitian children with their parents had been in the back of her mind practically from the start.
"When I moved there, after about five days I realized that the children living in the orphanage had parents and weren't orphans in the sense that we in the United States think. They were in the orphanage because their parents couldn't afford to take care of them.''
Once Ali, 26, moved to Haiti after high school graduation in 2006, they both spent their time at Bresma caring for the children but also letting parents know adoption wasn't their only recourse.
"I kept volunteering at the orphanage until the earthquake, but throughout all of that time kept helping families in other ways so that they could keep their children,'' said Jamie.
With a pool of startup funds, a wave of international goodwill and a reputation among Haitians, building Haitian Families First into a world- class nonprofit seemed like it should fall into place smoothly. With locations set up in Port- au- Prince, Saint-Marc, Fort Jacques and Saut-d'Eau, the sisters opened up for business ready to make an immediate impact.
What they got, instead, was an uphill climb stacked with learning curves to navigate and lessons to live by in and out of Haiti.
"It's an ordeal. It takes a lot of different people (to help)'' said Ali.
One of the first rules the McMutries would learn is that fundraising is an ongoing process in the nonprofit world.
Working off an annual operating budget of around $100,000, the sisters went through the donations raised after the earthquake in about a year and a half. Once those funds dried up, the sisters – who were both still living in Haiti – realized they couldn't rely on a team of seven Pittsburgh volunteers to do the heavy lifting when it comes to supporting the company financially.
"In 2012, we realized one of us needed to come back to get the business side under control and Ali decided that ... well, we flipped a coin,'' said Jamie, and both sisters laughed.
For Ali, who came into the situation with no social service or development background to speak of, the first order of business was to boost fundraising by setting up meetings, doing presentations and finding any way she could to spread the word about Haitian Families First.
"A lot of people around Pittsburgh who may know of our work and our story don't really know what it is we're doing now. So a big part of what I find myself doing is going out and building that awareness.''
Back in Port-au-Prince, Jamie was learning that providing medical, educational and nutritional interventions for parents ready to surrender their rights is often more complicated than just a single infusion of funds directed at an isolated problem.
A parent who was considering placing a child up for adoption because he or she can't afford school might need funds for tuition. But without clothing, books or food, the child won't make it to the classroom regardless of financial assistance.
Parents thinking of giving up sick children for adoption because orphanages pay for emergency care needed more than funds for a doctor's visit. They needed enough for diagnostic tests, medication and any follow-up care that might be needed to keep the child alive.
For HIV-infected mothers, single fathers and grandparents raising malnourished infants _ groups Jamie said are the most often seen at the charity _ both infant formula and medical care were immediate needs.
The two-year crash course in nonprofit operation hasn't been easy, but it has earned the sisters several hard-fought victories.
Ali has managed to drum up enough support through fundraising mixers to keep a budget that's a little under $100,000 per year flowing and to pay seven Haitian staff members – all mothers who used the program to keep custody of their children.
Jamie said she has established collaborations with hospital systems willing to send desperate parents to the charity for aid, has helped to steer some clients toward jobs and has learned that solving problems doesn't necessarily equal cutting a check.
"At least 10 times a week we meet with a family and figure things out without having to spend one dollar. We just meet with them and say, you're freaking out because your kid is sick; let's figure this out. And we find out they can go to a free clinic because the medical needs they have are good for that clinic,'' said Jamie.
"It's counseling,'' interjected Ali.
And while the sisters are still seeking steady sponsorships to cover infant formula, medical supplies and expensive shipping costs to Haiti, they are optimistic that they eventually can help turn the tide in a country where 80 percent of 30,000 orphans have at least one living parent. They provide comprehensive aid to around 100 families a year.
"I think we're most excited about our work because we see an end in sight,'' said Ali. "It's a huge, huge job, and there is so much to do and we'll be working on it our whole lives, but we don't see it the same way as an orphanage, which is just a never ending cycle. If we perpetuate that as a good option, there's always going to be children coming in the doors. Even as they get older, leave or become adopted, there will always be more children until Haitians are in a position to take care of their own children.''
If reuniting Haitian families means a great deal to the McMutries, it means the world to the families impacted, said Jamie.
"We're excited because Haitians are on our side,'' she said. "They love their kids, they want their kids and they care about their kids. They just need some help to get to a point where they can take care of them.''

Hey all,
I have been testing a script using RMAN to backup my Oracle Enterprise 10.2.0.4 databases at work. One of our objectives is to be able to backup one server, decommission the hardware, and restore the backup on a newer box. I have tried testing this process using other machines and I keep running into an issue.
My restore script:
These steps work until recover database, which fails with:Code:# rman target / nocatalog RMAN> run { RMAN> allocate channel ch 1 type disk; RMAN> alter database mount; RMAN> restore database; RMAN> recover database; }
If I copy the redo##.log files from the source database to the new database, this recover step works flawlessly. However, it seems to me that this should work without having to manually copy these files over. For instance, what if I were faced with a true hardware failure? Is there something wrong with how I'm taking the backups or restoring the backups? I'm very new to using RMAN, so any tips would be appreciated.Code:... starting media recovery archive log thread 1 sequence 372 is already on disk as file /u01/oradata/mael1/archive/1_372_685295039.dbf archive log thread 1 sequence 373 is already on disk as file /u01/oradata/mael1/archive/1_373_685295039.dbf archive log thread 1 sequence 374 is already on disk as file /u01/oradata/mael1/archive/1_374_685295039.dbf archive log filename=/u01/oradata/mael1/archive/1_372_685295039.dbf thread=1 sequence=372 RMAN-00571: =========================================================== RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS =============== RMAN-00571: =========================================================== RMAN-03002: failure of recover command at 05/08/2009 12:57:36 ORA-00283: recovery session canceled due to errors RMAN-11003: failure during parse/execution of SQL statement: alter database recover logfile '/u01/oradata/mael1/archive/1_372_685295039.dbf' ORA-00283: recovery session canceled due to errors ORA-00313: open failed for members of log group 1 of thread 1 ORA-00312: online log 1 thread 1: '/u01/oradata/mael1/redo01.log' ORA-27037: unable to obtain file status Linux-x86_64 Error: 2: No such file or directory Additional information: 3

A shakeup in Washington tonight could result in a Bay Area woman making history.
It started with Larry Summers, President Obama's Chief Economic Aide, announcing Sunday he is withdrawing his name from consideration as chairman of the Federal Reserve. Many Democrats had criticized Summers, calling him a deregulator who is too close to Wall Street.
That announcement may pave the way for Janet Yellen to take over the helm. She would be the first woman to lead the Fed in its 100-year history.
Yellen is currently the Fed's vice chairman. Experts said she has a solid record as a bank regulator. Yellen has also been teaching at the Haas School of Business at UC Berkeley for more than 30 years.
The dean of the business school, Rich Lyons, said he cannot think of a more qualified candidate.
"She listens; she is a terrific thinker and a very clear-minded person," Lyons said. "All the judgment I've seen at Berkeley-Haas has been absolutely terrific."
Lyons added that Yellen has always been a consensus builder.
She also has the backing of a number of Democratic senators, and that could make the confirmation process much less controversial as well.

Roxie Eileen Grisso Stahl, age 88, formerly of Huntington, passed away peacefully on March 18, at 3:15 p.m. at Peabody Retirement Community in North Manchester.
Mrs. Stahl was born May 25, 1924 in Sidney to Charles Valentine and Nellie (Brubaker) Grisso. As a child, she was reared by foster parents, Mr. and Mrs. Curt Bloom, Sidney. On Aug. 28, 1943 she married Richard James Stahl, Wabash; he died April 8, 2000.
Mrs. Stahl was a long-time resident of Huntington. As a young woman, she worked as a book illustrator at Heckman Bindery in North Manchester; she then worked several years as a graphic artist at Schacht Manufacturing in Huntington; from 1964 until her retirement in 1990, Mrs. Stahl served in various positions at Huntington College (University), including College Editor, Publications Director, and Public Relations Director. In 1996, Mrs. Stahl was presented the Huntington College Centennial Medallion, honoring her as an individual who had significant impact on life at Huntington College during the institution's 100-year history. She was a lifelong member of the First Brethren Church in Huntington, serving many years as Sunday School Superintendent and as president of the Women's Missionary Society. She had many church friends who were special to her.
Mrs. Stahl was well known as a chalk artist who made inspirational presentations to audiences at numerous churches and community organizations throughout Indiana and the surrounding states. She was a giggler, a giver, an artist, a poet, a photographer, a whistler, a lover of written words and lilacs, and an avid gardener with a passion for poppies, daffodils, and homegrown tomatoes sliced on toast.
Survivors include her well-loved son and daughter-in-law: Mark B. Stahl and TroyLynne Perrault Stahl, New Orleans, La.; her beloved granddaughter, Alexis Kirsten Stahl (spouse, George Williams), New Orleans; four half-sisters and their spouses: Mary Lu and Robert Pulley, Wabash; Charlene and Gerald Gaylourd, Wabash; Donna and Richard Logan, Eugene, Ore.; and Sally Williams, Abilene, Texas.

Update 2:15 p.m. EST: Yep, it's here and available to download in the Mac App Store. From what we're able to gather from our initial use, iTunes 11 is faster, the design is cleaner, and it's easier to browse music. There's also a new preview history feature that lets you view content you've previewed on one device, like your iPad for example, on another device, like your MacBook, before you buy it. Apple has also updated the MiniPlayer (mentioned below), and the iTunes Store now has a uniform design across all devices. Stay tuned as we delve more into the new iTunes.
Original story posted at 12 p.m. EST
During the iPhone 5 announcement back in September, Apple unveiled a plethora of new products. Most of them, like the new iPod touch, iPod nano, and iPhone 5, have been available for quite some time now. However, we've yet to see one of the most anticipated products: iTunes 11.
Though the company originally said the new version of iTunes would be available in October, Apple's senior vice president of Internet Software and Services, Eddy Cue, told the Wall Street Journal yesterday that it had been delayed because of engineering issues that required the developers at Apple to rebuild parts of the program.
The iTunes page says the updated version is coming in November, and, since there are only two days left in the month, it's safe to say we'll be seeing iTunes 11 very soon. If you ask the Wall Street Journal, we'll most likely see it today.
When iTunes 11 failed to launch in October, Apple spokesperson, Tom Neumayr, told AllThingsD that the new iTunes was taking longer than expected. "We wanted to take a little extra time to get it right," Neumayr said. "We look forward to releasing this new version of iTunes with its dramatically simpler and cleaner interface and seamless integration with iCloud before the end of November."
After the company's last major software snafu with Maps, resulting in the termination of Apple's Maps manager, the company is likely being more cautious about its next big software release. However, there may be another reason for the delay. Talk of a Pandora-like radio service is a foot. But Apple has reportedly faced some difficulties from the music industry over licensing fees, which might be the reason for the delay in the release date.
The iTunes app has changed very little over the past few years. Apple has tried changing iTunes before. Most recently, it introduced a social media feature called Ping, which allowed iTunes users to interact with each other, share music, and follow artists. The project was a complete disaster and was shut down earlier this year.
However, the new version of the iconic music player, iTunes 11, has many of the changes fans were hoping for. Besides being more aesthetically pleasing, the new version will feature an album grid to sort music, which opens a gorgeous drop down menu with all the songs on the album (like an iOS folder). Another welcomed addition is improved iCloud functionality. Now, your iTunes purchases will be pushed onto your iOS device, and vice versa, keeping your mobile iTunes and the computer version in sync at all times. Lastly, one of the main new additions is an updated MiniPlayer. Right now, the iTunes mini-player is low on functionality and style. In iTunes 11, the MiniPlayer will be able to search for songs, which saves users a lot of time, and also looks amazing.
Whether iTunes 11 will be released today, tomorrow, or next year still remains to be seen, but stay tuned. We'll be updating you with more iTunes 11 news as it comes in.

Kit or Custom: Which Roll Cage Is Right For You?Posted in How To on June 1, 2012
Safety: It's important. In a removable-top vehicle like a CJ or Wrangler, a stout roll- cage is one of the first modifications you should make. Why? Well it's pretty easy to catastrophically roll even a stock Jeep on-road. And the stakes are raised off-road. Unfortunately, severe injury or death are both common outcomes to severe rolls. Once you have decided to add a rollcage to your toy, the next questions are where do I get a cage, who should I get to install it, and how much is it gonna cost? Well, as usual, in Jeep modification-land that is not always a straightforward or easy answer. But we have your back having dedicated our meager lives to learning how to build Jeeps, screwing up, cutting them apart and rebuilding them.
In the next few pages, we'll give you a few front cage options and tips that we use ourselves, and try to tell you the cost, downfalls, and benefits of each one. Follow along as we first install a Synergy Suspension weld-in Front Cage Kit in a '97 TJ. We then bend and build a similar DIY-style front cage for a '84 CJ-7. Finally, we talk to a skilled and experienced custom builder, Randy Ellis, of Randy Ellis Design about his prices for a custom-built 'cage along the lines of the two we installed.
For the purposes of this story we are gonna assume you know how to use your bender if you have one (and no cheap pipe-kinkers need apply), and you know how to use your welder if you have one. If you don't have a welder or know how to weld, don't trust your welding, don't have a tubing bender, contact a quality fabrication shop like Randy Ellis Design for a custom cage. Also, many fabrication shops will happily install the Synergy Suspension kit for you.

We're building a new company that helps people use money in their pension fund to invest in small businesses. It also helps people who run businesses find suitable investors. We need a brand identity including logo and colour palette.
SIPP Angels
A bit of background - in the UK (where we're based) - a SIPP is a Self Invested Personal Pension. Taking this, and the concept of a 'Business Angel' (someone who invests in a business and helps the business where possible), we've created SIPP Angels. You can think of the website as working kind of like a dating site matching people with investable pension money with business owners looking for investment.

Uses: The Overhand Knot was described by Ashley (ABOK # 46, p 14) as "the simplest of the Single-Strand Stopper Knots." It can also be used to prevent the end of a piece of rope unraveling.
Comparison: The animation shows the close similarity between:

Helping with the event were Teresa Wilson, Johna and Cynthia Grant.
The spelling bee is operated in rounds. If a speller misses a word they were to remain on stage until everyone in that round has a chance to spell a word.
Spellers are not asked to spell a word someone else misspells. After the rules were reviewed, the spelling began.
Local spellers from the San Juan School District include spellers included Grange Simpson and Jessica Walker, eighth grade students from ARL Middle School, and Aspen English, a seventh grade student from Monticello High School.
Spellers from the Carbon School District are Victoria Nelson, and Mikayla Taggart.
Emery County spellers are Tiana Jensen, Douglas Maughan, and Airlyn Allred.
Grand County spellers are Teddy and Kevin Park, and Miranda Corbin.
Pinnacle Academy students include JR Jensen, Karely Urrutia and Maylee Gregersen.
First round words included: hamster, barley, average, bevel, mermaid, polka, kipper, sumo, mascot, ravel, errand, humble and caboose.
The competition moved to the second round with ambulance, transect, banders, diorama, powwow, hurdle, manicure, hearth, fiesta, gradient, broadleaf, jovial, dracula, gunnysack.
Round three included: rupee, malaria, hustings, pandit, strategy, graffiti, foliate, haiku, julep, crusoe, herbivore, apathy, wiseacre and chalupa.
Round four words included: palette, automaton, saffron, portfolio, medic, anchovy, kabuki, toucan, corporal and frankenstein.
Round five moved to words like rouge, sadilla, orthodox, contiguous, gondola, plausible, flotilla and topography.
Round six, seven and eight words: crescendo, tortoni, nebbish, spinet, monotonous, protagonist, sashay, bolero, nabob, piazza, infinitesimal, langlauf, recidivism, nemesis, and verboten.
Round nine and ten: commiserate, mercerize, conquistador, spiel, meiji, eocene, skipperkey, prabhu.
Teddy Park and Victoria Nelson faced off for third place, both missing a word in the same round. Teddy took third place. After third place was decided, then Kevin Park and Grange Simpson were the only two spellers left.
Grange went on to spell malcontent and his championship word was pentagon. This placed Grange Simpson first and Kevin Park second. Simpson will go to Washington DC to represent southeastern Utah at the Scripps National spelling bee.

Robert Scoble is getting some criticism for putting full feeds into his link blog. Andy Beard says he is stealing thanks to the Google Reader.
A commenter brings up the spectre of the DMCA (Digital Management Copyright Act) and goes as far as to say that Robert is in violation of the law by republishing copyrighted material.
Hogwash. RSS is public, thank you. It was designed to be public. It's the responsibility of the RSS publisher to understand the full ramifications of publishing a feed.
But it's not a black and white kind of thing. It's about respect. If you are making money off someone's feed then a deal has to be made with the person whose work you respect enough to show on your site. It's good for you. It's good for the artist. But if you are publishing and not making a buck then why the heck do you have to ask permission? That's where it gets a bit grey. For the publisher may have text ads on the site. But if the text ads make incidental revenue, the producer has to weigh whether it makes sense to cut off the feed and lose the ability to benefit from link backs and referring traffic.
I talked with a very well-known publisher about this at the Vloggies last night. For him, it's really just a case by case kind of thing. It's subjective. There is no process for deciding if the feed should be shut off or not. But if the site owner is making direct revenue from the feed, it's time to start talking about licensing. Jason Calacanis weighs in on the issue, too.

Pocket Rockets
Pocket Rocket vibrators are discreet sex toys that pack quite a punch. Usually not longer than five inches, these vibrators are small enough to take almost anywhere.
Keep one in your purse, your desk drawer, and yes, even your pocket! Pocket rockets are multipurpose vibrators that can be used anywhere on the body, adding a little extra tingle to your foreplay. And they're not just for women; men can enjoy pocket rockets too!
To get you started, Adam & Eve carries pocket rocket kits that include assorted heads for different sensations and extra stimulation.
Keep in mind that if you decide to use your pocket rocket internally, it's important to keep a firm grip, as pocket rockets are more powerful than they look. For the safest, most comfortable experience, it's best not to insert your pocket rocket more than a couple of inches.
For added fun, many of the pocket rocket style vibrators Adam & Eve offers are waterproof, so they can be used in the bath, shower or hot tub.

Banana Soufflés
150 calories. That's really all I need to tell you, but being the garrulous little food writer I am, let me continue for just a paragraph or two.
You may already know that I love to make souffles. They are fun, easy and make me feel more like a domestic goddess than any dish in my repertoire. I also love bananas. If you too, enjoy the exquisite torture of watching a couple bananas ripen to the point of sweet, blackened smooshiness on your kitchen counter, this is the recipe for you. Instead of whipping up the same old banana bread, try these souffles. Did I mention they're only 150 calories each?
The lightness of the pureed bananas, egg whites and sugar create a gorgeous rise. Sweet and airy, they are the perfect dessert to follow a heavier meal, or a whole season of holiday feasting. You could even afford to spoon a little chocolate sauce over them without a bit of guilt.
I love how a souffle goes from this...
To this - stunning!
Banana Soufflés
The original version of this recipe appeared in the January issue of Redbook magazine, and was first published in Perfect Light Desserts by Nick Malgieri and David Joachim.
Makes 4-6oz. souffles.
2 large ripe bananas
5 tbs. sugar, divided, plus extra for coating soufflé dishes
2 tbs. water
¼ tsp. ground cinnamon
3 large egg whites
¼ tsp. salt
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Puree the bananas in a blender or food processor. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the 4 tbs. sugar and water. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally, until sugar dissolves completely. Cook without stirring for an additional minute until mixture thickens slightly. Slowly stir in the banana puree and cook until mixture reaches a full boil. Remove from heat and stir in the cinnamon. Allow mixture to cool slightly in the refrigerator while you prepare the ramekins.
Spray 4-6oz. ramekins with nonstick cooking spray and sprinkle sugar all over the bottom and sides. Spin ramekins around to coat completely and shake out any excess sugar.
Put the egg whites and salt in a large bowl and beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until white and foamy. Add the remaining 1 tbs. sugar and continue to beat, increasing the speed to medium-high, until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold about one-third of the egg whites into the banana mixture. Continue to fold in the remaining egg whites. Divide soufflé mixture evenly among the prepared ramekins and place them on a baking sheet. Bake for 14-16 minutes, or until tops have risen and browned lightly. Serve immediately.

Yum! We've been thinking of souffles a lot lately too!
I have tried making souffle's! But it seems to be one thing that always fails me! Congrats on being able to achieve something that is so difficult for me...
- MyKitchenInHalfCups said...
I have a great banana pudding I love to show off with but this looks great for more often and a little show off! Good work.
And yes I did get the 150 per!!
- Julie said...
Oh, yes, yes!
I just bought some souffle dishes today and I have been looking at other banana desserts after making a banana cake last week. Your suggestion of a banana souffle is perfect.
- Anita said...
This looks stunning - and you again make it sound easy. With the simplest of ingredients I think there is no excuse to not make!
- rachel said...
wow! those look amazing. i was just looking at souffle recipes and i found a Bittersweet chocolate souffle with Earl Grey custard sauce in my Bon Appetit cookbook that i'm going to try to make. I'd love to split them up into mini's if possible.
- Patricia Scarpin said...
OMG, Julie!!
Your soufflés are huge and sooooo pretty!
The only 150 calories info is stuck in my head, you bet. ;)
- Lis said...
Holy crap do those look excellent! I am SO making these - WOO!
Hey.. you should submit these to Hay! Hay! It's Donna Day! This month's theme is souffles. :D
You can read about it here =)
- Kristen said...
Only 150 calories? Wow! Not many things with that few calories make my mouth water at the site of them. These look like they would taste delicious.
- Julie said...
Rachel: I must go see what you've been cooking...
Tim: Did you read my post on blue cheese souffles? I talk a little more about technique. Being gentle with the egg whites is key and coating the ramekins with cheese or sugar gives the souffle something to hold onto as it rises.
Half Cups: a souffle is definitely a nice change from a pudding (and healthier!).
Julie: Yeah! Perfect timing.
Anita: Thanks; I really think these are so easy that everyone should give them a shot.
Rachel: that recipe sounds amazing. I love the idea of using teas to flavor desserts. Please let me know if you blog about it or just send me the recipe!
Patricia and Kristen: I know, it's almost too good to be true.
Lis: Thanks, I am about to enter this in HHDD. I can't keep track of so many events:)
- Barbara said...
Wow only 150 calories. That's my kinda dessert. Love your banana version of soufflé. Thanks for joining us for HHDD.
- Renz said...
I found this post on Running with Tweezers, smelled the overripe bananas in the fruit basket, and got straight to work. These were pretty good, especially for 150 calories. Also, I used vanilla instead of cinnamon (husband hates cinnamon, sad to say), and dusted the tops very lightly with ground ginger. Really tasty, so glad you posted this,
overall, how do you like the book? It's on my wishlist, but everytime I think to buy it, I tell myself "no dessert has even less calories than light dessert." Then I end up making brownies...
- Julie said...
Renz: Glad the souffles turned out well for you! They're not the richest dessert in the world, but for 150 calories, I'll take it! I don't actually own that cookbook; I got this recipe from the January issue of redbook magazine. They published a few recipes from the book. I don't think I would buy it because I don't try to make "light" desserts very often. Most souffles are actually lo-cal no matter where you get the recipe. You can also shave calories off many recipes with a few tricks or substitutions. If I'm making cookies or a cake, I don't want the light version because I want it to satisfy me completely. If you get the book, I'd love to hear your opinion.

mtrythall needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 40 designs submitted by 17 freelance designers.
I need a logo that fits into a cool modern web app with a clean design. The logo should be academic focused and be friendly and appealing to all types of people. I don't want this to be stuffy, it still needs to be fun and appealing.
A suggested color pallete to go along with the logo would be great, also. I'm most likely going to work with the winning designer on future efforts.
I need a logo (preferrably in vector format) to give my project a professional feel. I need to put this in front of colleges and professional groups, and I don't think I can do that without a brand. While I'm decent at design, I'm never happy with my own work.
My project is a book/article recommendation tool for students and professionals researching new industries. It helps users get up to speed on topics with a nifty search technology I invented.
This tool can also be used in career planning, also.
- A simple logo that fits into a clean design
- Has some sort of icon
- Doesn't have a complicated color scheme
- Is inviting to all types of folks
- Think "smart", "collaborative", "academic", "library", "fun". Especially something fun.
- Logos I like: stackoverflow.com, technorati, dropsend, 9rules, wayfaring.com, twitter, Pownce
- Something inventive. This is an entirely new brand, feel free to adjust the casing, suggest colors, etc.
- Logo in vector format
- Anything too over the top
- Anything that looks similar to Amazon, Facebook, or other large players in the tech industry
- Lots of color, this should be kept fairly simple
- Antique looking fonts
- Weird fonts (like LibraryThing.com *shudder*)
- Any icons that show a stack of books with a bookmark
Find out how a design contest works or learn more about our logo design services.

Woman OK after car breaks through frozen pond
December 28, 2012
WINDSOR, Colo. (AP) — A woman whose car overturned and slid into the water of an icy pond in Windsor is crediting a passer-by with helping get her to safety.
A car driven by 22-year-old Kimberly Garcia of Evans ended up upside-down in the pond off Colorado 257 near the entrance of the Kodak/Carestream campus Thursday evening. The passenger side of her car was submerged.
Garcia tells KUSA-TV in Denver she slipped through her car's back window, which was broken, so she could get some air. Meanwhile, a man who caught a glimpse of a wheel sticking up from the ice pulled over and entered knee-deep water to help get Garcia to dry land.
Garcia says that if the man hadn't come to help save her, she might not have made it.

Shanghai's Guangyin Yoga Club (光胤瑜伽) became famous outside China this week. The marketing idea implemented to promote the club hit international websites and the story quickly spread across numerous sites.
The idea itself (from February 2010) placed one of the club's yoga masters in a wooden box that was placed in various locations across Shanghai. The yoga master would then pop his hand out of the box with the club's business card in his hand and this greatly surprised passers-by.
It was a simple, effective, original, and widely talked about execution that won the yoga club far more customers than it had expected, plus the total cost of doing it was £74.
A truly great piece of creativity, one only wishes that every marketing campaign was this cheap and easy to implement but still made the client extremely happy.
Please do take a look at the original post on Ads of the World.

Put the flour and salt and in a large mixing bowl. Gradually whisk in the milk. Whisk in the eggs, 1 at a time, and then whisk in the sugar, melted butter, and vanilla. Cover and let rest in the refrigerator for about 1 hour.
Heat an 8-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Melt a small pat of butter in the pat and swirl around so that it lightly coats the surface.
Add 1/3 cup of the batter and move your wrist in a circular pattern to coat the pan with thin even layer of batter. Cook for about 1 minute or until the first side browns lightly, then flip and cook 45 seconds to 1 minute longer. Remove to a plate and repeat with remaining batter.
Fill with jam, honey, sugar, chocolate hazelnut spread, peanut butter, bananas - anything sweet that you enjoy from your pantry.

AIDS 2012 Plenary Speakers Call for Innovative Financing, Continued Research for HIV Cure
July 25, 2012
Speakers at Tuesday's plenary session at the XIX International AIDS Conference in Washington, D.C. highlighted the challenges that lie ahead in the response to HIV/AIDS and discussed potential solutions, ABC News reports (Duwell, 7/25). Bernhard Schwartlander, director for evidence, strategy and results at UNAIDS, "highlighted the many new possibilities for collaboration, activism, and financing for the AIDS response as economic growth is rapidly changing the global order," UNAIDS reports in a feature story (7/24). "A lot of very clever and dedicated people are working very hard in making sure that services are delivered more efficiently, and ... more people receive HIV services with the same amount of money," he said at the session, PlusNews writes (7/25). According to UNAIDS, Schwartlander "outlined a number of innovative financing methods ... such as the financial transaction tax; front-loading investments for health through bonds; or utilizing fines paid by pharmaceutical companies for anti-competitive practices for health assistance" (7/24).
Also speaking at the plenary session on Tuesday, Javier Martinez-Picado with Spain's IrsiCaixa AIDS Research Institute discussed the possibility of finding a cure for AIDS, saying "that even though he does not expect a cure anytime soon, researchers see hope for one," VOA News notes. "Yet, Martinez-Picado said he foresees several more years of laboratory research to advance basic science knowledge before considering clinical trials," ABC News writes. U.S. Assistant Secretary for Health Howard Koh opened the session with a speech about the National HIV/AIDS Strategy (.pdf) (7/25).

Upcoming Dean's Forum
September 21, 2012
What do you do when your denomination (or church) drifts away from biblical teaching and practice? Pray, of course. Exhort…teach…try to influence (or join) leadership…protest…organize?
We can't just roll over and give up right away. But what might God call us to do? Join us Thursday, September 27 from 12:00 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. in Kerr 418 as five of our professors, who have had to grapple with this challenge in very personal and intense ways, will share their experience and counsel. Then we will all have an open discussion. This is an open forum, so bring your pastor and interested friends.
