The Destination
Cancun's reputation as a sandy paradise by day and a thumping party by night is well deserved. Located on the northeast coast of the Yucatán Peninsula—just north of the Riviera Maya—this resort city borders the Caribbean Sea and delights in all the aquatic activities its warm waters have to offer. A rainbow of bikinis spreads over its beaches while the tropical sun shines. After dark, revelers flood the bars and clubs in search of the hottest dance floors. But no matter what hours you keep, Cancun buzzes with plenty of action to keep you entertained.
The Digs
The Hyatt Regency Cancun, where flawless service meets comfortable beachside charm, sits just steps from the white-sand beaches of Cancun. Add to that an expansive pool, a luxury spa, and nearby nightlife in the city's Hotel Zone, and you've got a world-class vacation destination. Move through the resort's modern lobby as an appetizer to your own retreat, and then check out your king or double room for a feast of features: an LCD-screen TV with satellite channels, and windows opening onto a private balcony with ocean views.
The Diversions
Play a game of beach soccer before snorkeling, then dive into the pool complete with swim-up bar. After sunset, make use of your $300 food-and-beverage credit at one of four on-site restaurants. During the day, schedule a day trip to see the world-class marine life off Isla Mujeres, then trek to the Mayan pyramid of Chichen Itza. When you return to the resort, satisfying snacks are available until your late 3 p.m. checkout.
"Situated on the tip of Punta Cancún, this 14-story hotel offers the best views in Zona Hotelera. Guests can relax in the garden area or in one of the daybeds near the Beach House Spa."-- Read Fodor's Review of the Hyatt Regency Cancun

A couple years ago, I stumbled on a funny Star Wars site that had mini scenes made out of POTF2 figures. The guy made up some funny SW scenes and made a scene out of the figure. I only remember on scene, and I really want to find this site again so I can laugh (I've been have been having a gloomy week, not to mention getting sick on Easter) a lot. The only scene I remember was:
Leai was standing and Vader and Luke were fighting with lightsabers over Han in carbonite and Leia is saying (Under the picture): How come every time we have these family reunions you always fight? (Or something close to that).
Any help would be greatly appreciated, cuz I really want to find this site.

President's Report
It is my pleasure to serve as president of APNA and to present my report that covers the period October 1, 2009 through September 30, 2010. During the past year, we have continued to enjoy a member growth. As noted in the Secretary's Report APNA membership is now nearly 7000 active members. The Treasurer's Report illustrates our continued financial growth and stability. After having five years of losses in operations, we are posting a second successive year with positive results from operations. The Treasurer's Report contains a complete set of financial statements.
I have organized this report to highlight the activities of APNA around the various groups or audiences with whom we interact. These are members, nursing organizations, non-nursing organizations or agencies that impact PMHN and our patients and finally a group for which all of our efforts are ultimately geared to serve, consumers.
With regard to our members, the essence of an association is it ability to involve its membership and provide a forum for the exchange of information. Our philosophy is that APNA should be an "organization of professionals" not simply a "professional organization". With the introduction of the Member Bridge program we are providing such a forum. Member Bridge enables our members to network and communicate freely on all matters of importance to them. The Secretary's Report contains more information on Member Bridge and other communication methods including our website which are utilized by APNA.
APNA's greatest strength is its members. The chapter system provides an opportunity for APNA members to connect at the local level. There has been renewed interest in our chapter system. Our system now has 35 individual chapters representing 41 of the 50 states. We're working with several states to increase this number with the goal of providing every member access to a Chapter. The APNA website has information on each of our individual chapters, which you can access at www.apna.org/Chapters. We extend our appreciation to each of the chapter presidents and their governing boards for their leadership at the local level and for helping to advance PMHN through their grass roots efforts and programs. Board Member-at-large, Gail Stern of Pennsylvania, serves as liaison for the Chapters.
APNA Institutes, Councils, and Task Forces are actively carrying out work on behalf of psychiatric-mental health nursing. We're pleased that we have added several new councils. The first is actually a revitalized council, the RN-PMH, with co-chairs Jolie Gordon-Browar of California and Jim Shearer of Wyoming. The second is the Child-Adolescent Council that is chaired by Sue Odegarden of Minnesota and will hold its first meeting at the Annual Conference. The third new council is the Administrative Council, which is under the leadership of its co-chairs, Anne Kelly of Minnesota and Avni Cirpili of Tennessee.
APNA convened a special Task Force co-chaired by Mary Ann Boyd of Indiana and Georgia Stevens of Washington, DC to submit a proposal in response to the SAMHSA RFP for the Recovery to Practice initiative. APNA received the award for nursing, while separate contracts were awarded to psychiatry, psychology, social work, and consumer peer specialists.
Overall, there has been a renewed interest in all of the councils and task forces. A complete report of their activities can be found in Appendix A.
Our primary purpose for existing is education and science. Our two largest educational activities, the Annual Conference and the Clinical Psychopharmacology Institute , have both enjoyed record attendance.
The 2010 CPI program had record attendance with over 300 PMH nurses present. The Program Committee, composed of Georgia Stevens (Chair), Mary Ann Boyd, Julie Carbray, Kim Cox, and Barbara Warren, developed an exceptional program that was rated in the excellent category by the vast majority of attendees.
We are very grateful to last year's conference co-chairs Janet Grossman and Preston Fitzgerald who helped make the event in Charleston, SC an enormous success. We also acknowledge the chair of the Scholarly Review Committee, Edna Hamera. This year's conference promises to be well attended and our conference chair, Kathy Brotzge, along with her committee has a special event planned for the Friday networking event. The Scholarly Review Committee under the leadership of its chair, Nancy Hanrahan, has worked hard to review a record number of abstract submissions for pre-conference, concurrent, and poster sessions. Appendix B provides more details regarding the conference program and CPI programs.
We are pleased that APNA was successful in its application for funding to continue the APNA Janssen Student Scholarship program. Once again 15 undergraduate and 15 graduate students will receive scholarships to attend the conference. We appreciate the efforts of the Awards & Recognition Committee, chaired by Niki Gjere, who reviewed over 155 applications for the 30 slots.
The Annual Conference and CPI are examples of traditional educational programs. We recognize that budgetary constraints limit the ability of many of our members to attend on-site activities. We are introducing at this year's conference the Key CD program which enables all attendees to have access to sessions that they were unable to attend while at the conference. Later in the year many of the Annual Conference sessions will be made available to all members through the Online Center for Continuing Education (OCCE). The CPI sessions currently available and offer a great source of contact hours without the need to take time off from work and incur travel expenses. You can learn more at www.apna.org/CPIOnline.
We are pleased that APNA has been able to successfully obtain funding to provide a new series of Counseling Points. In conjunction with Delaware Media Group, Issue 1 in a series of 3 on the topic of Tobacco Dependence has been delivered in print and online to every APNA member. Congratulations to Daryl Sharp and Susan Blaakman who co-authored the series which carries 1 contact hour per issue at no cost to members.
APNA has an established record of championing the cause of reduced seclusion and restraint. The work of the Task Force on Seclusion and Restraint has been taken up by the Institute for Safe Environments which is co-chaired by Lynn Delacy and Amy Rushton of Virginia. The ISE, through its workgroup on Competency Based Training, will be presenting a 90-minute educational session on Competency Based Training for Conducting the One Hour Face to Face Assessment of a Patient in Restraints or Seclusion. Our thanks to Marlene Nadler-Moodie of California, David Sharp of Louisiana, Jan Adam of Washington, Maria Fisk of Georgia, Karen Taylor of Oklahoma, and Karen Vergano of Pennsylvania.
A cornerstone of APNA educational efforts is our journal, JAPNA. We acknowledge the excellent stewardship of our editor, Karen Stein. The journal's circulation is growing each year. The reach of the Journal is also growing with 85% of the institutional subscriptions coming from entities outside of the USA.
APNA strives to be a unifying voice in PMHN and to do so the Association must build relationships with other groups. We work within the overall nursing profession to provide authoritative information about our specialty and its role in practice, education, research, and administration. APNA is an active member of the ANA Organizational Affiliates. This provides APNA with a seat on the ANA Congress for Nursing Practice and Economics. Liz Poster of Texas has been APNA's representative for the past three years. As a member of the Congress Liz kept APNA informed of important activities that affect PMHN and she provided a voice for our specialty within this multispecialty body that studies and comments on issues which affect all of nursing. We thank Liz for her years of service. Mary Moller will replace Liz on the Congress and began a four year term in September 2010. APNA continues to participate with Nursing Organizational Alliance through attendance at its meetings by the APNA President and President-Elect. NOA is a strong voice within nursing and is made up of more than 50 nursing societies. Involvement in the alliance increases APNA's visibility in nursing. The relationships that are built through the alliance help APNA advance the views of PMHN. For example, through the alliance we have developed partnerships with the Emergency Nurses Association (ENA) to address the problem of holding psychiatric patients in the emergency room. Our NOA relations led to ANA referring the US Senate Oversight Committee on Aging to APNA for advice on the use of antipsychotics in nursing homes. APNA members Merrie Kaas of Minnesota, Georgia Stevens of the District of Columbia, and Mary Moller met in teleconference to inform Senate staff by providing explanations and reference material.
APNA lends it voice to coalitions within nursing that seek to advance improvements for nursing in general. We worked routinely with the Nursing Community. This is a coalition of 55 nursing societies that seek to advance improvements in legislation for all health care. APNA has a particular interest in efforts to improve funding for nursing education and has lent its name in support of letters asking Congress to increase Title VIII funding. We acknowledge the efforts of Mary Haack of Maryland who monitors this activity on behalf of APNA.
APNA is an active participant in the LACE (Licensure, Accreditation, Certification and Education) process that has emerged as a result of the "Consensus Model for APRN Regulation for Licensure, Accreditation, Certification and Education". APNA is represented at the LACE meetings by Barbara Drew of Ohio and Pat Cunningham of Tennessee. Barb and Pat along with Mary Jo Regan-Kobinski of ISPN co-chair the APNA LACE Implementation Task Force. This is a group made up of APNA and ISPN members who are studying the impact of the Consensus Model on PMHN and who will be making recommendations to the boards of APNA and ISPN. The Task Force will provide a report on the direction of their efforts to the APNA membership during the Annual Conference. The task force, with support from APNA, has been seeking input from leadership within ANCC, CCNE, NLNAC and NCSBN. These represent the certification, accreditation and licensure aspects of the model. In terms of education, we are seeking input from AACN, NACNS and NONPF. The manner in which these discussions are taking place is that APNA is taking a lead role in establishing dialogue with the organizations that have an impact on PMHN.
APNA also needs to maintain visibility with non-nursing organizations that impact our specialty. We are an active participant in the Mental Health Liaison Group. Through this group we are able to monitor and sign on to important legislation that impacts mental health. The Institute for Mental Health Advocacy (IMHA), under co-chairs Christine Tebaldi of Massachusetts and Peg Halter of Ohio, reviews information from the MHLG and recommends action for the BOD to take.
The IMHA has developed a network of members who monitor several agencies and organizations that impact PMHN. Here is a list of agencies and members who are working on our behalf to assure that APNA is aware of activities and in position to make timely comments when necessary. We are grateful for their service. The IMHA is eager to hear from any member with an interest in being an agency monitor.

Through our monitoring system we became aware that psychiatric nursing was inadvertently not included in the field trail of DSM-5. APNA was able to identify the error and the APA made immediate adjustments to include PMHN. The APRN Council, under its co-chairs Leslie Oleck of Indiana and Angela Retano of New York, worked in conjunction with the IMHA to submit comments on the DSM-5.
APNA members Gail Stern and Lisa Ashton of Maryland met with Dr. Janet Woodcock, Director of the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, along with six other FDA staff to offer advice on medication errors.
Through our relationship with the ANA, APNA has played a key role in the Relative Update Committee for CPT codes used in the practice of PMHN. Mary Moller of Connecticut has represented APNA on this committee that meets under the aegis of the AMA. Over 1,000 APNA members to participated in the first RUC survey. A second survey will take place next spring. The results are used to guide CMS in setting the Medicare Fee Schedule.
We are all aware of the major impact that JCAHO has in our lives. Carole Farley Toombs of New York was invited to attend a special workshop on development of standards. Carole's presence provided a voice for PMHN.
Another influential organization in mental health care is the Carter Foundation. APNA is invited to participate in the Annual Conference on Mental Health in order to offer nursing perspectives on mental health care. Last year Mary Moller attended on our behalf.
In the area of research, APNA was represented by Nancy Hanrahan at the SAMHSA Strategic Initiative on Behavioral health and by Linda Beeber of North Carolina at the National Institute of Nursing Research Roundtable and the National Institute on Mental Health Coalition for Research Progress.
The final group with whom APNA interacts is the consumers of mental health. A very exciting new element to our committee structure is the newly created Consumer Advisory Panel. This panel is an offshoot of our work with the Recovery to Practice Task Force. The panel is comprised of mental health consumers including a number of nurses who advise the APNA BOD on issues facing PMHN from the consumer point of view. The panel is chaired by Mary Moller who serves as a liaison to the APNA Board. A complete listing of members can be found in Appendix A.
We are pleased to report that we have reached out to NAMI and are working to rekindle our relationship with this strong advocate for mental health. APNA exhibited at the National NAMI meeting in July. We are grateful to Terry Shively and Jean Robbins of Virginia who attended the NAMI meeting and held an "Ask the Nurse Session". The session was well received and the comments that were made at the APNA booth about the positive impact that nurses have had on patients and their families were wonderful.
As you can see, APNA is a busy and vibrant organization. This is a testament to the hard work of the many members who contribute generously with their time and expertise. Thank you for the opportunity to serve you. It is an honor to serve as President of APNA. It is an experience that I will never forget and one that I will hold in my heart forever.
Mary Moller, DNP, APRN, PMHCNS-BC, CPRP, FAAN
APNA Board of Directors, President

Portmeirion is a beautiful Italian style village in the north west of Wales. Built by Clough Williams-Ellis from 1925 to 1975 it is now a tourist resort and hotel. It was made famous in the 1960s as the location of The Prisoner starring Patrick McGoohan. My first visit there was in 1966 during the filming of the Prisoner. My cuddly monkey is on holiday again and sitting in the shot.

Your chance to express your love for Paramore!
Posted 09 November 2011 - 12:05 PM
Oh, hello, by the way. Bea and Frida here. We are two students from Sweden. We study at the University of Linköping, and we are currently writing an essay on fan culture. Our essay is partly focused on Paramore. We chose this subject because just like you we are fans of alternative rock music, and we find the fan culture around this genre very interesting. In our essay we will be writing about fans' reflections and thoughts on being part of a fan culture.
This is where we need you guys! For our study, we are looking for fans to interview through e-mail. We'd love to hear your opinions on the band and the fan culture you are participating in.
So, here's the deal: you can live anywhere in the world. It doesn't matter how old you are. You will be totally anonymous (which means no one will ever know who you are). We have prepared 8 questions about the fan culture around Paramore. An example of a question is: "Describe what Paramore means to you. Try to explain why you feel this way.†This question, and the rest of them, will be sent to you as a private message on this forum. You don't have to answer right away; think about the questions and your answers, and then reply to us within a week. That means you will have plenty of time to write down your love for the band on paper (even though it's not really paper ).
If you have the time, please help us out! We really need you. We can't write our essay without your thoughts. You guys on this forum really seem to have a genuine interest in Paramore and their music. It's obvious that you love them to bits. We only need you to write it down for us.
For those who want to answer our questions, reply to this thread saying "I'm in!†or something, or send us a private message. Replying to the thread or sending us a message doesn't mean that you will have to participate, it just means that we will send you some more information about this. You can also send us a message if you've always wondered how to say â€I love Hayley's hair†(or other necessary phrases) in Swedish.
We are looking forward to hearing from you guys!
Take care
Bea and Frida
* This is really not a lie. In Sweden, the kind of essay we are writing is an official document. That means anyone (who understands Swedish) will be able to check it out and read your thoughts on fan culture. How cool is that?

Yay! Thanks! Yes, of course. Forgot to write about by what date we need answers and stuff... But as for now we're not in a rush. So, if you want to, we can send you the questions on Saturday or Sunday, and then you have one week to reply. Is that ok?

I am back from vacation and already swamped with work. 7.1 is nearing completion and I am busy squishing all remaining bugs and testing. Bugzilla is a great tool!
Ordered a Laptop last week, a Toshiba Portege 3440. It was supposed to arrive last week, but the sender forgot to add the company name, so UPS was not able to find me. Bummer! I called them and gave them directions - hopefully it will show up today.
Tickets for Linux World Expo in NY are booked. See you all there!

I LOVE my photo albums! I had bought two of these like 10 years ago and finally found them again through Get Smart. Great price - shipping was reasonable - I talked to a customer service rep and he was very nice and efficient. I will buy my refill pages next from them as well! This album I got is expandable and each album holds 204 photos plus you can add refill pages. Nice blue color and they came very quickly.I am VERY happy with Get Smart!

The Galaxy Narrows in Tacoma, Washington closed January 31, 2013, according to an article published in The News Tribune:
It's curtains for another Tacoma-area movie theater.
The Galaxy Narrows Theater will play its last film Thursday night.
Theater personnel confirmed Monday the multiplex, eight-screen theater at 2208 Mildred St. W. in University Place will join a handful of chain theaters that have closed their doors in the Tacoma area in the last decade.

|Our Environment We are stewards of wild places
|Topic Review (Newest First)
Right on, DH. Farm-raised salmon sounded like a good idea at first, but wouldn't touch the stuff with a ten-foot pole now. Glad to see the article in the Oregonian, painful though its content is.
I wonder if there have been any moves to pressure the big stores--Fred Meyer in the NW--to stop selling the stuff. Anyway, thanks for the post.
Will Fake Fish For Food
These storys came across the radar screen by way of Micheal Milstein of the Oregonian, for Sunday, 11/30, and can be found at Oregonian .com in full....
and I keypoint....
1. Norway has aprox. 800 Salmon farms
2. There are aprox 7 farms at the entrance to Romsdalsfjord
3. The Maana River, flowing into the Romsdals, is seeing a direct result from a part of the estamated 550,000 escaping Salmon from Norways farms
4. 80% of the "large" Salmon caught on the Maana last year were Farm stock
5. At one point, the Government posioned the river in an attempt to stem the rising problem of non-native stock. But with the problem not just being contained to the river, the non's soon came back.
6. Salmon at large farms are fed "pellets" at a rate of aprox. 10+ tons a day. The pellets are made from other fish like Anchovies and Jack Mackerel, which when caught in such large numbers, put preasure on food stocks for ocean going fish and other animals
7. The farms have been plagued by the disease Cold Water Vibriosis, Sea Lice, etc.
8. Fecal waste from the farms has exceeded that from all the cities in Norway, and sea floor areas directly below the farm "cages" are described as "dead zones"
And in the North West.....
1. As reported recently, aprox 500 escaped Atlantics were found in a tributary of the Chehalis River in Washington.
2. They were from a farm run by Cypress Island, a Salmon operation owned by a Norwegian-based company that has other interests in the Puget Sound area
3. It took more than 90 days for officals to attempt to rectify this problem. At this time only aprox 100 were recovered, leaving 400 un-accounted for.
4. More than 1 million Atlantics have escaped from pens in the North West to date.
5. They have shown up in the Dungeness, Nisqually in Washington; the Copper in Alaska; and in the Bearing Sea, 1000 miles away.
6. Many of the same old problems persist here it seems....
* Fecal Contamination of sea beds
* Disease and virus. (There was an outbreak of Hematopoietic Nercrosis on Vancouver Island)
* Lice infestations
* Escapement problems
So why harp on this?
Because I would venture to guess that at least part of this is driven by avarice, and the people involved in these operations dont give a Rat's backside about what is happening to the enviroment.
And if I can get 1 more person to realize, and stop buying farm raised fish, that will hit them (The Farmers) in the pocketbook, and help prod them into fixing some of the "ongoing"problems of what......say,
the last 20 years? Give or take....

I also have to agree on the equiptment needed a good mouth call a box or slate a pair of gloves and a hand full of shells is all I carry in the fall.

8.10: Importance of the Oceans
Just what is down there?
Mostly the oceans are cold, dark and have extremely high pressure. Except at the very top, they are completely inhospitable to humans. Even this humpback whale can only dive to about 700 feet, so there's a lot about the ocean it doesn't know. Earth would not be the same planet without its oceans.
Oceans Moderate Climate
The oceans, along with the atmosphere, keep temperatures fairly constant worldwide. While some places on Earth get as cold as -70oC and others as hot as 55oC, the range is only 125oC. On Mercury temperatures go from -180oC to 430oC, a range of 610oC.
The oceans, along with the atmosphere, distribute heat around the planet. The oceans absorb heat near the equator and then move that solar energy to more polar regions. The oceans also moderate climate within a region. At the same latitude, the temperature range is smaller in lands nearer the oceans than away from the oceans. Summer temperatures are not as hot, and winter temperatures are not as cold, because water takes a long time to heat up or cool down.
Water Cycle
The oceans are an essential part of Earth's water cycle. Since they cover so much of the planet, most evaporation comes from oceans and most precipitation falls on oceans.
Biologically Rich
The oceans are home to an enormous amount of life. That is, they have tremendous biodiversity (Figure below). Tiny ocean plants create the base of a food web that supports all sorts of life forms. Marine life makes up the majority of all biomass on Earth. (Biomass is the total mass of living organisms in a given area.) These organisms supply us with food and even the oxygen created by marine plants.
Polar bears are well adapted to frigid Arctic waters.
- Oceans moderate Earth's temperature by not changing temperature rapidly and by distributing heat around the planet.
- Oceans are an enormous reservoir for water in the water cycle.
- Oceans have tremendous biodiversity and the majority of all biomass on Earth.

OXFORD – Oxford police made arrests of suspects in both a robbery and several burglaries.
Three Olive Branch residents have been arrested in connection with an attack on an Oxford resident, and three others have been arrested in connection with burglaries.
Brandon Houston, 19, was arrested Monday, and Jamal Mims, 18, and Malique Alleyen, 19, all of Olive Branch, were arrested Tuesday and charged with strong-arm robbery. The alleged victim identified the three as his attackers, saying they had beaten him and taken his clothes, phone and wallet.
Bond was set for each at $1,500.
University of Mississippi spokesman Danny Blanton confirmed that all three are enrolled at the university.
In a different case, Labeb Haimed, age unavailable, of Oxford, was charged Sunday night with possession of stolen property after police say he was found with a laptop computer that had been stolen a few hours earlier from a home on Martin Luther King Drive. Bond was set at $5,000.
In yet another case, Jessie Hill, 28, of Oxford, was charged Monday night with auto burglary. Police identified an iPhone that Hill allegedly brought into a convenience store on South Lamar as the one earlier stolen from a car on Johnson Avenue. Hill's bond was set at $10,000, but he also has a hold with the Mississippi Department of Corrections.
Anthony Owens, 21, of Oxford, was charged with accessory in the same case. Police say he drove Hill to the convenience store to sell the phone and other electronics. Police are investigating whether any other stolen items were among those being offered.
Oxford Police Chief Joey East said spring break, which begins Friday for Ole Miss students, is typically a time when Oxford experiences a rash of burglaries.
East urged students, faculty members and anyone else leaving town for several days to "take home whatever they can, especially electronics and guns and other valuable and easily carried items."
He urged having mail and papers, including door-hanger advertisements, collected by a trusted neighbor.
Residents who will be out of town may also notify the police department at (662) 232-2400 to have their house checked by patrol officers.

I like web discussion groups. Yes they are intelectual slums. Yes they are slow and ungainly. But still I like them, and here's why: Bablefish.
Remeber way-back when AltaVista put the BableFish translation service online? That was cool. I was in the midst of planning a six-week trip to Europe at the time, and BF helped me correspond with the owners of inns and travel bureaus. Once the trip was over, I didn't think much about it until a came accross discussion groups using the technology to auto-translate posts into the reader's language, regardless of the post's original language -- wow.
Simple? Yes. But still amazingly cool.
I can talk to almost anyone, anywhere in the world using these forums. That is a very good thing. Wonder how Afghans see the conflict in their country? Try th is (keep in mind that the translation technology isn't all that good before assuming someone is an idiot) and see Germans, French and Americans posturing and puffing in a language agnostic forum.
Mr. Kirk's universal translator is closer than it seems.

I'm so buying this. I lost my iPad last month and never got it back because the thief turned it off. With this it will catch the thief when they turn it off.
Is anyone else having an issue getting this to work with Androidlock XT?
I tried the free version, it has a bug where it'll make any app's screen when launched miniature and unable to navigate (even Settings or Cydia). Probably conflicts with another tweak I have installed or something. Had to respring into Safe Mode, start up Cydia and delete the app. I believe the pro version said it fixed a bug, maybe that's the bug it fixed.I'm running iOS 5.0 via the tethered jailbreak on an iPhone 4.
This looks cool and all for the stupid criminal that steals your iPhone out of your pocket or finds it left at the movie theater. Sadly it looks easy to overcome to those of us in the iCommunity. I won't go into details of at least the 3 ways I could think of to bypass this. Thankfully most people who steal are too stupid to think of these things.
The best security app IMO, would be a method of password protecting DFU abilities. Add to that a server side method of reporting it lost from any browser. Doing so would block SSH abilities, the launching of any app, charging, 32 pin connectivity and prevent powering off, without password. DFU would be locked by default. WiFi would auto enable and auto join networks in the background and GPS data would phone home to the server discretely. Keep the ability to send messages should you choose to or snap pics remotely if connected to cell or wifi. Remote one way FaceTime with sound and ability to record would be nice as well. Basically, the ability to discretely track and view the perp. And as soon as you report it lost or stolen, the phone would be a useless brick, unable to be restored or accessed in any way without your password. This, if done widespread by Apple and other phone makers, it would effectively make phone theft pointless. Tons of coding, if possible.
I've got the free version and it works okay. It does a good job of taking the picture, but the GPS coordinates are usually off by half a mile or so. The other day I accidentally typed my password wrong and the email I received said I was in the middle of a lake some 75 miles away!

Baldwin named BSC co-Coach of Year
Cheney, WA - After directing the Eastern Washington University football team to a 9-2 record and its sixth Big Sky Conference title in school history, head coach Beau Baldwin has been selected as the league's co-Coach of the Year in a vote of the Big Sky's fellow head coaches. He shares the award with Cal Poly head coach Tim Walsh.
In receiving the honor for the first time, Baldwin is the fourth coach in school history to win the award. His predecessor, Paul Wulff, won in 2001, 2004 and 2005. Current Idaho State head coach Mike Kramer won in 1997 and Dick Zornes was Eastern's first in 1992. The Eagles won league titles and advanced to the playoffs in all of those years except for 2001.
Eastern, the NCAA Division I Champion in 2010 with Baldwin at the helm, enters the 2012 NCAA Football Championship Subdivision Playoffs with a 9-2 record. The Eagles received the No. 2 seed in the championship and will play either Wagner or Colgate on Dec. 1 at 3 p.m. Pacific time at Roos Field in Cheney, Wash.
"It's a very well-deserved honor for both coach Baldwin and his staff," said Eastern athletic director Bill Chaves. "This award is not only about this season, but about what he and his staff have been able to do for the past five years."
Baldwin has now been a part of four Big Sky Conference championships as either an Eastern assistant coach (2004, 2005) or head coach (2010, 2012). In addition, he has been a part of five FCS Playoff berths – two as an assistant (2004, 2005) and three in four seasons as head coach (2009, 2010, 2012). Eastern has advanced to the FCS Playoffs a total of nine times in school history.
He coached in his 100th Eastern game when the Eagles rallied to beat Montana 32-26. He is now 42-18 in four-plus seasons as a head coach (2008-12), and was 25-22 as an EWU assistant coach for four seasons (2003-06), for a collective total of 67-40. His .750 winning percentage in Big Sky Conference games (30-10) is the best-ever by an Eastern head coach and currently ranks eighth in the 50-year history of the Big Sky Conference. His .700 percentage overall is 11th.
Baldwin is also one of 20 coaches on the voting list for the Eddie Robinson Award, given to the national coach of the year in FCS. Adams is one of 20 players on the ballot for the Jerry Rice Award, given to the top freshman in FCS.
After guiding Eastern to the 2010 NCAA Division I Championship, Baldwin was honored nationally as the College Sporting News Coach of the Year and the American Football Monthly Coach of the Year. He was also honored regionally by the Inland Northwest Sportswriters and Broadcasters (SWABS) as Coach of the Year. In addition, Baldwin was a Liberty Mutual FCS Coach of the Year finalist, as well as for the Eddie Robinson Coach of the Year Award presented by The Sports Network.
Now in his 19th season as a coach, his previous 18 seasons included 10 at Central Washington University and eight at Eastern. He also played quarterback for four seasons at CWU.
Baldwin has coached on teams that have won two national titles (NCAA Division I in 2010; NAIA in 1995) and seven conference championships (Big Sky Conference in 2004, 2005, 2010 and 2012); Great Northwest Athletic Conference in 2002; Columbia Football Association in 2000 and 1998).
He has coached in 18 postseason playoff games so far (record of 11-6-1), including five appearances (including 2012) in the NCAA Football Championship Subdivision Playoffs (record of 5-3), two appearances in the NCAA Division II Playoffs (record of 2-2) and two appearances in the NAIA Playoffs (record of 4-1-1).
Eastern led the FCS in passing offense in 2012, averaging 368.5 yards per game. In his previous four years as Eastern's head coach, the Eagles have ranked in the top 10 in FCS in passing offense three times (Eastern is currently 10th in 2012) and total offense twice.

I'm coming to the end of my time working full time on Mozilla - long term employment beckons back in England. I've had a fantastic time out here in Mountain View, and I think I've achieved quite a lot.
Mozilla 1.0 is a reality, all the contributors are firmly behind the principles in the manifesto, and people are attacking the bug list. The performance graphs are going in the right direction - every day we load pages faster, bring up new windows faster and use less memory.
The web site has got less far. It's just been really slow going; every time I think we are on the edge of something, there's another hitch. A lack of Zope hackers hasn't helped, and I don't think we parallelised enough - because I always thought the time to parallelise was just around the corner, just after problem X is fixed.
The license stuff is progressing nicely (we are trying to move Mozilla from MPL or NPL to (MPL or NPL)/GPL/LGPL). We sent out the email requesting permission for the license change this week, and over half the 450 people mailed have already responded Yes, with only a tiny handful of Nos. It remains to be seen how many of those we can persuade to change their mind. I really think the licensing change is important, and I hope I can convey its importance to those few people :-)
The Calendar project was a late addition to the task list, but one of the fastest moving. From OEone getting the go-ahead to actual working code in CVS will have taken under two weeks, and we already have a community building around it. There's a great need for decent, cross-platform open source groupware, and I am certain we can leverage all the services of the Mozilla platform to provide it.
I've also found time for a bit of Bugzilla hacking, and general stave-off-the-next-crisis project management. All in all, it's been a great three months. Now I just need to work out how I can keep up all the commitments I have and take on a full-time job as well...

Carnivorous Plants
Why It Matters
Feed Me!!
When Audrey uttered (and sang) the words "Feed Me!" in the film Little Shop of Horrors it made people laugh and smile, but carnivorous plants are no laughing matter...at least to insects.
This video shows carnivorous plants and the systems they use for capturing insects and prey.
