Mukwonago residents ask Supreme Court to hear case of Indians nickname
As promised, Mukwonago residents who oppose a state-mandated change to their public schools' Indians mascot and nickname have asked the state Supreme Court to hear their case.

The latest appeal in the case claims the residents have standing to bring a constitutional claim, regardless of whether they were parties to the initial administrative hearing process, because of the Supremacy Clause of the U.S. Constitution. (53)

BALTIMORE -- About 45 minutes through an exercise demonstration that had Orioles pitcher Dylan Bundy instructing two lines of Commodore John Rodgers Elementary and Middle School kids in the way of pitching mechanics, special assistant Brady Anderson sprung up and changed plans.
"Let's play some hockey," said Anderson, who put himself in one net and Bundy in the other, as the pair deflected shots and made a game out of which group could score first.
The result was shrieks of glee and some good old-fashioned competition, as the Orioles' caravan made a special stop Friday afternoon to promote exercise and good nutrition at the Baltimore school.
"They need to realize how important it is to be healthy, and doing fitness exercises like this can keep you healthy for a long time," said Bundy, who is the club's top-ranked prospect and led one group while Anderson and strength and conditioning coach Joe Hogarty led another.
"There's so many different things you can do to make [exercise] fun, because if it's not fun, how are you going to do it?"
Friday's 90-minute Healthy Living Assembly saw the trio work with approximately 50 kids as well as sign autographs and pose for photos. Each child was given an Orioles T-shirt and led through a series of stretches, conditioning drills and other exercises, and they also went home with two tickets to Saturday's FanFest at the Baltimore Convention Center.
"Society is really deficient in promoting fitness and health overall," said Anderson, who oversees the Orioles' efforts in strength and conditioning and spent the offseason working with about 10 of the organization's current players.
"It starts from an early age, a love for sports, for athletics, for staying in shape and having a healthy lifestyle, and it's harder than ever to get kids off the couch ... but it's something you can't replace, getting out there and having fun. It's something that stays with you as long as you live."
Added Hogarty: "It's really important for kids to experience activities that they may not be used to or that are energetic and fun, to teach them how to move better, how to be active and be healthy."
The caravan stop was part of a five-city tour around Maryland leading up to Fanfest.
Tickets for FanFest are available online at www.orioles.com/fanfest, via phone at 1-888-848-BIRD or at the Oriole Park box office and at the official team store at the York Galleria in York, Pa. Tickets are $10 for adults, and $5 for children 14 and under and seniors over 55. On the day of the event, FanFest tickets will be sold at the Convention Center and the Oriole Park box office, while supplies last. Fans are encouraged to purchase their tickets in advance.

Port Facilities at Skagway, Alaska
Klondike Gold Rush National Historic Park
Tourists can turn back the clock to the time of the frenetic Klondike Gold Rush of 1897-1898 by visiting 15 restored buildings in Skagway's historic Klondike Gold Rush National Historic Park. Maps are available at the visitor center, and you can also join a tour with a Park Ranger. One of the 15 buildings is the White Pass and Yukon Railroad Depot, which now houses the Klondike Gold Rush National Historic Park museum.
Red Onion Saloon
The famous Red Onion Saloon on Broadway is an authentic gold-rush-era style bar. In the late 19th century the business was half bordello, and you're still welcome to tour these once seedier parts of the building, with tour-guides dressed as madams.
Gold Rush Cemetery and Lower Reid Falls
Fascinating Gold Rush Cemetery, which dates back to the late 1800s, is a short walk from town. From the cemetery a forest trail leads on to the spectacular Lower Reid Falls. To find the cemetery, go north on Broadway street through Skagway town to reach the railway yards. Follow a gravel road behind the railway yards and you'll find a sign to the cemetery. Total distance 4 mile round trip.
White Pass and Yukon Railroad
The 3-hour round trip train ride on the narrow gauge White Pass and Yukon Railroad to the top of White Pass makes a fantastic excursion. In the mid 1890s, huge numbers of gold prospectors would climb up to White Pass and continue onward to the gold fields. The need for a railroad to ease the arduous trip seemed obvious. The Railroad was constructed in the years 1898 through 1900 to connect Skagway with White Pass and then to Whitehorse, in Yukon. Unfortunately, by the time the railroad was completed the gold rush was over. The railroad climbs nearly 3000 feet in 20 miles, with cliff-hanging turns, numerous bridges and two tunnels hewn from the rock.
Trail of '98 Museum
The Trail of '98 Museum is housed in the Arctic Brotherhood hall, constructed in 1899. The building's facade is perhaps the most photographed in Alaska, thanks to its unique decoration with pieces of driftwood. The museum has some excellent exhibits relating to the infamous con-artist Soapy Smith, and his shoot-out with Frank Reid.
Skagway is famous for its role in the Klondike Gold Stampede over 100 years ago. Today, it is a historic yet lively town, which still reflects its gold rush roots and contains colorful shops and a fun atmosphere. In Skagway, possible excursions include visiting the Klondike Gold Rush National Park Visitor's Center and riding the White Pass Yukon Route Railway.

Green is good, to a degree
That may be the best way to describe some of the work of the City of Fort Collins' Urban Renewal Authority at the moment.
As recently reported by our Molly Armbrister, the URA is considering requiring businesses that are located within urban renewal zones to make their buildings environmentally friendly in order to qualify for tax-increment financing.
Buildings would have to be LEED silver-certified by the U.S. Green Building Council.
Talk about giving with one hand and taking with the other. Adopting this approach would, at a minimum, mean adding thousands of dollars to even the most modest project.
Fortunately, this is just an idea at the moment and the City Council would have to sign off before it becomes policy.
On this issue, the council would do well to heed former Mayor Ray Martinez, a member of the executive board of the South Fort Collins Business Association.
His common-sense response to the notion: Requiring LEED certification sounds like good policy but it's just too expensive for most small businesses.
Such a change could discourage ever better-financed developers from proposing projects in the URAs.
The URA will be holding a series of public meetings on the topic in coming weeks.
We're all for saving the planet, but the URA staff's enthusiasm for a "greener" city, at least in this case, needs to be reined in.
It's one thing to establish incentives and altogether something else to mandate.
The URA shouldn't expect much, if any, support from the business community on this one.
In discussing the use of force by his officers in general terms, Fort Collins Police Chief John Hutto makes a compelling point:
Officers, he said, have used some sort of force about 70 times in the past year while handling about 24,000 calls for service.
That's clearly a very low ratio. It doesn't, however, clear the officer who was captured recently on camera shoving a Loveland man backward in Old Town Square.
The incident, which remains under investigation by the police department, also raises important questions about closing times for Old Town bars and restaurants.
Aren't we simply asking for trouble when the bars all close at the same hour? The result is a mad rush of people, many of whom have had too much to drink, pouring out into the streets at the same moment.
It's an approach that obviously raises the potential for confrontations. At least one solution seems fairly evident:
Stagger the closing times of the bars.
The owners of these businesses will protest. They all naturally want to stay open until the last possible moment.
But the stampede of glassy-eyed idiots looking for trouble needs to end. Staggering closing times means they would trickle out of the bars over the course of an hour or two, rather than have hundreds, if not thousands, stumbling out at the same instant.
The old argument against staggered closings is that there's nothing to stop sozzled testosterone from jamming into the next joint. But the answer to that isn't so complicated: station bouncers at the doorways to bar entry to anyone clearly inebriated.
The city also should allow the bars to stay open later. A 2 a.m. closing for a lot of night owls just means racing to get sauced.
So let's let the bars stay open until 4 a.m. or even 5 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays and stagger closing times.
Bar owners might end up making a little more money and the police will have fewer drunks to handle all at once.

What is ENDA?
The Employment Non-Discrimination Act would ban employers from firing, refusing to hire or discriminating against workers or job applicants based on their sexual orientation or gender identity.
How many gay workers are there nationwide?
About 8.2 million, according to estimates released by the Williams Institute at the University of California at Los Angeles. The nonpartisan think tank on gay rights in public policy based the estimate on a review of census data.
Isn't it illegal to discriminate against gay and transgender workers already?
Not at the federal level. Currently, 21 states and the District of Columbia have laws prohibiting workplace discrimination based on sexual orientation. Seventeen states and the District also bar discrimination based on gender identity. Maryland has a law prohibiting discrimination based on sexual orientation; Virginia has no such laws.
What do Americans think of this issue?
About seven in 10 Americans favor protecting gay workers from job discrimination, according to a May poll by the Public Religion Research Institute.
Public support has climbed through the years. A CNN-Time magazine poll in 1994 found that 62 percent of Americans said they favored passing "equal rights laws" to protect "homosexuals" against job discrimination.
Seven in 10 Americans believe that gays face "a lot of" or "some" discrimination at the office, according to a Pew Research Center poll in May. Those figures are greater than the number who perceived discrimination against African-Americans, Hispanics and women, but on par with perceived discrimination against Muslims.
How long has Congress been debating ENDA?
Supporters have been trying since 1994, when Rep. Gerry Studds, D-Mass., and Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., first tried to pass the bill. Kennedy got the bill to the full Senate in 2001, but it didn't pass. Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass., got the measure passed by the Democratic-controlled House in 2007, but it faltered in the Senate.

More Ameri Ichinose
This Asian model likes keeping up a smooth pussy because it is easier for her to clean off between her appointments. She is a employee of an escort service in the city and she is gaining quite a reputation for her company when she comes in here. She has a cute face and a nice tight ass that everyone stops to look at as she walks across the floor. I think she is too much for these guys here. She would fuck them silly!
My friend who teaches a history class at the college came in with a video for us to check out. He said it is the first time he has gotten one of their breaks on tape, and he wanted to show it off. He started the video and I was surprised to see these hot schoolgirls and him in a roon witrh the girls taking turns on him and on each other. If the school ever got wind of this little class I don´t think he would be employed there for very long!
This gal lives in the condo across from where I live and there is always some kind of action going on at her place. Last night she had a few people over for a small get together that really got hot once the sun set. There was a deck with all her friends and herself all naked just enjoying thinking no one could see them. Well, from my side of the street, there were at least five guys all sitting and watching what was going on over there!
This naughty Asian doll is playing with 2 cocks at once. She enjoys sucking cock in double blowjobs and getting her tits fucked too. There is plenty of asslicking and doggy style fucking going on here for some sloppy wet results and doggy style deep penetration on one end and a cock in her mouth for some cum on her face and in her mouth!
This beautiful Asian with hot lips loves a little cunt torture before she swallows her man??s load. First she had to get the guy interested by juicing his tasty schlong. After that he will do anything Sana asked, and this time Sana decided a little electric shock deep inside her love tunnel would be nice. With her twat still trembling from the shock, she told him to give her a good humping, which he did. This horny cutie had it coming. He unloaded three times inside her and the fourth time she asked to have a taste of some of that nutritious goo.
Horny Japanese babe just don??t know when to stop! This lovely and very horny gal enjoys her cocks in pairs so each end has something to do. She can fuck one and suck the other if she wants to! She is a real exhibitionist and would prefer to get her jollies while on stage and getting paid for it. Who can blame her? That way she gets twice the money and fucked as well. I wish her luck in her adventures with her career!
This lovely Asian babe is also something to watch when she is in action. She does live shows on sex night in different adult clubs in the cities. We were graced with her one evening when things were slow so she decided to liven things up and give us a good show! She was up on the stage naked and invited a couple guys from the audience up to help her out in her act. She is definitely worth checking out and she has her own web page to do it!
This cute nurse works hard in the hospital but works harder in the bedroom. One lucky stud found out about her when they went on for a date. She took him to a hotel, and before he knew it she was licking the sweat off his dick. She cleaned this Asian guy good and fucked him cowgirl style like she sees it done in American movies. But then it wasn??t enough to fuck this cutie in the mouth and her juicy pussy; he had to have her where it is tight and deep. She was willing to please him but let out a sweet moaning whenever he thrust his pole deep into her ass. Creaming her pussy was good, but creaming her ass hole even better.
This hottie is a Japanese model who enjoys the night life! She is cute, and always up for something different. She is in the club on amateur nights to check out the local talent and of course the guys! She gets the willing ones and they get a horny pussy for the evening. If they aren??t the types to kiss and tell, they are surprised when they see themselves on the web cam! The looks on their faces are priceless!
I saw this horny Asian babe in the corner adult toy store. She works as a product demonstrator. She is real good with those vibrating toys she has! She has a killer body and with a tight pussy like she has there would be no trouble finding a volunteer for the night to keep her company! She has the looks to go far no matter what she decided to do later in life. But, for now she is content with what she is doing.

Seahawks-49ers highlights Week 16 action
Eric Edholm looks ahead to Week 16, which features some key divisional matchups that will have major playoff ramifications — including Seahawks vs. 49ers.
Key matchup: Niners wide receivers vs. Seahawks cornerbacks
In today's "Key Matchup," PFW's Dan Arkush focuses on the Niners WRs vs. the Seahawks CBs in the Week 16 Sunday-night game.
Week 16 playoff scenarios
First-round byes and playoff spots are up for grabs in Week 16. See how it can happen in the playoff scenarios.
NFC West Spin cycle: 49ers, Seahawks make statements
Huge victories by San Francisco and Seattle in advance of their prime-time matchup in Week 16 grabbed the headlines in Week 15.
49ers withstand Patriots' comeback, clinch playoff spot
The 49ers earned a playoff berth by withstanding a stunning comeback by New England from a 28-point deficit to beat the Patriots 41-34.
Culliver a Niners starting CB in the making
Most close team observers seem to agree that Niners second-year CB Chris Culliver is on a fast track for a starting role in 2013.
Key matchup: Patriots running game vs. 49ers run defense
We know the 49ers like to run the ball, but the Patriots have more carries than the Niners, and the run game has been crucial to their success.
49ers sign LB Bakhtiari
The 49ers signed LB Eric Bakhtiari to a two-year contract, the team announced.
Week 15 playoff scenarios
The Texans, Ravens, 49ers and Packers all have opportunities to clinch their respective divisions on Sunday.

The 49ers suspended RB Brandon Jacobs for the final three regular-season games of 2012, the team announced Monday.

Frank Gore ran for a 1-yard touchdown, reached 1,000 yards rushing for the sixth time in his career, and the 49ers beat the Dolphins 27-13 on Sunday.

It appears former first-rounder Michael Crabtree has firmly established himself as the Niners' primary go-to guy.
Week 14 playoff scenarios
The 49ers and Ravens can clinch playoff spots in Week 14, while the Texans and Falcons aim for first-round byes.

At first, Josh Barfield had some reservations about the trade that sent him from San Diego to Cleveland. That's when having a former Major Leaguer as a father comes in handy.
Shortly after the trade was announced, Barfield called his father, former Major Leaguer Jesse Barfield, and expressed some disappointment about the trade.
"I called my dad right away, and I was bummed out, because I thought I'd be a Padre for a while," Barfield told the Cleveland Plain Dealer. "But he told me, What are you bummed out about? This is great. You get to play with [Grady] Sizemore, [Travis] Hafner, [Victor] Martinez. ... They have a great lineup in Cleveland. You get to play in Jacobs Field. You're going to have a lot of fun.'"
Part of that fun will be no longer needing to worry about where he hits in the batting order. While in San Diego he often batted eighth in the order, just ahead of the pitcher's spot.
"It's hard because you know they're going to work around you to get to the pitcher," he said. "Even if you hit in the nine hole in Cleveland, you have Grady Sizemore coming up next. It's always a good situation here."
Jesse, meanwhile, never pressured Josh into playing baseball in spite of a career that saw him hit 241 home runs over 12 seasons.
"I've had friends whose dads put a lot of pressure on them to be Major Leaguers, or to live up to certain expectations," Barfield said. "It made it so much easier for me to have my dad, a former player, not pushing me at all where baseball was concerned. He supported whatever I did."
Floyd pumped for chance to play for Cubs: Chicago native Cliff Floyd has signed a one-year deal with the Chicago Cubs and says that he's hopeful that he can get plenty of playing time in the potentially crowded Cubs' outfield.
"I think everybody likes to play [every day]," Floyd told the Chicago Tribune. "If I go out and play like I'm supposed to, you won't hear about [a platoon player] the rest of the season."
With serious power potential, the Cubs are excited to have Floyd in the mix and anticipate him getting plenty of at-bats.
"He gives us a tremendous presence ... and it really helps balance out our left-right [lineup] combination," said general manager Jim Hendry. "It gives a lot of danger to the middle of the lineup."
Floyd, who was a three-sport star athlete at Chicago's Thornwood High School, says that he can't really find the right words for how excited he is to play at Wrigley Field.
"I've been thinking about it all day, I don't know how to describe it," he said of playing in Wrigley Field.
Slimmed-down Jenks ready for 2007: Chicago White Sox closer Bobby Jenks came into the 2006 season with a bigger body that manager Ozzie Guillen was comfortable with, but still managed to have a strong, 41-save season. For 2007, Jenks is even more prepared.
"I'm down about 25 pounds right now, but there's no set limit," Jenks told the Chicago Sun-Times. "I just want to come into camp ready to go. It has to do with both my health and my conditioning. In the long run, this will be more beneficial."
He got a jump-start on taking care of himself at the end of last season, meeting with a nutritionist toward the end of the season.
"It wasn't that I was overeating," Jenks said. "I was just putting the wrong things in my body. I had to learn that there were different types of meat besides a New York-cut steak.
"And there's a lot of different ways to prepare your food. It hasn't been a huge change necessarily, just a lot more vegetables. Basically, I can't get enough of eating anything green."
Loretta wins Hutch Award: Houston Astros infielder Mark Loretta was presented with the 2007 Hutch Award Thursday in Seattle. The award, first presented in 1965, is named after former big league player and manager Fred Hutchinson, who died of cancer when he was 45.
The award is presented to a Major League player who best exemplifies the honor, courage and dedication shown by Hutchinson.
Past winners include a slew of Hall of Famers, including Mickey Mantle, Sandy Koufax, Carl Yastrzemski, Al Kaline, Willie McCovey, Willie Stargell, Lou Brock, George Brett, Johnny Bench and Paul Molitor. Craig Biggio of Houston was the winner last year.
"To be placed on the list with so many baseball icons is really phenomenal," Loretta, a 12-year big-league veteran, told Astros.com.
Loretta got to meet children and families Thursday at the Hutch School and was moved by the story of Gretchen Whiting, who has battled malignant melanoma for six years.
"Gretchen is really what the award is all about, people who showed courage, like Fred Hutchinson did, even though they are afflicted with a life-threatening disease," Loretta said. "To be able to get up there and tell her story, which was heart-breaking because she found the mole early, but they just couldn't detect it, I thought that was just tremendous."
Loretta has experienced the affects of cancer in his family. One of his uncles died of melanoma and a friend of his in San Diego is battling cancer. Loretta himself had a malignant melanoma removed from his chest two years ago.
"It really caught me off-guard. Having that history in my family, we really tried to remember sunscreen," said Loretta. "But growing up in Southern California, sunscreen was kind of an afterthought. But you do most of the damage before age 15.
"Thank God we caught it when it was treatable. But stage 3 and 4 are different stories."
Erstad an Angel no more: Longtime Angel Darin Erstad, newly signed to a free agent contract with the Chicago White Sox, leaves his former team on good terms and with no regrets.
"The Angels were great -- they gave me every opportunity to win that first base job," Erstad told the Los Angeles Times. "They had their concerns about health, and I can't fault them for that, but they were very professional.
"I'm going to miss everyone ... the friendships, the closeness you have with players and the staff, from trainers to coaches to equipment guys to clubhouse guys to security guys ... you know, everyone there was like one big family. It was a great atmosphere. I don't know ... I'm still processing it all myself."
Erstad even kept the door open for a return to the Angels one day down the road.
"I heard the word 'bittersweet' a lot," Erstad said. "Everyone kind of understands. It's tough to leave, but they're excited that I'll have a shot to play center field again. And the door is still open. There's nothing to say I won't end up back there again."
Cardinals target Weaver: Pitcher Jeff Weaver has not yet made up his mind on where he plans to pitch next season.
But in St. Louis, the Redbirds are hopeful that the winning pitcher in their Game 5, World Series-clinching victory will be back with the club.
"He would add significant depth. He's a guy who has some proven certainty," general manager Walt Jocketty told the St. Louis Post Dispatch. "If we don't get him, we'll go back to what we've discussed previously. But Jeff's a guy we obviously believe makes us better."
So with the situation still not resolved, the Cardinals and Weaver are both in limbo.
"We're still optimistic, but we haven't had a conversation in the last couple days," Jocketty said. "It's not resolved by any stretch. But we're hopeful. I think we'll know a lot more in the next few days."
This story was not subject to the approval of Major League Baseball or its clubs.

Why native advertising is purer than the 6pm newsFollowing recent debate around the practice of native advertising Rakhal Ebeli argues it could actually help create a better line between editorial and advertising for media. Have you ever seen a magician play that trick where he holds one hand out to the right, drawing the untrained eye off the prize, whilst all the while a coin is being cunningly produced from 'ones ear'? Hey presto! Guess what? That doesn't only happen in magic. It's happening all around you. Even, would you believe, in the space where news and commercial reality collide.
Can hybrid television redefine Australian TV? - Piracy, digital rights and the ad experienceAhead of tonight's launch of Freeview Plus, Mumbrella's Nic Christensen looks at what the new HbbTV service will mean for broadcast rights, piracy, and the way advertisers serve up their content. It's not every day that you get a TV sales boss like Nine's Peter Wiltshire admitting the weaknesses of television as a medium. "It was one of the great achilles heels of broadcast television that it was one-to-many," says Wiltshire who is group sales and marketing director for Nine.
Why you have to think differently when it comes to digital in ChinaWith more Australian companies eyeing Asian expansion Matt McDougal looks at the particular challenges of establishing a brand in the Chinese market. We often mistakenly believe that globalisation means we all have the same tastes and consumer habits. In some cases perhaps this is true to a certain extent but never forget to localise. No brand should count on its international recognition to reach the Chinese population. Mattel, for example, paid a huge price when they belatedly realised Chinese girls did not attach the same importance to a Barbie doll compared to Western girls.
Can hybrid television redefine Australian TV? - The consumer experienceTomorrow sees the launch of Freeview Plus, the long-awaited industry hybrid broadcast/IPTV service. Ahead of the launch, Mumbrella's Nic Christensen talked to Freeview and the five major TV networks, in this two part special, to look at how it might impact the medium and the wider industry. It's 2019 and 32-year-old Eve from Kirribilli in Sydney comes home late from work. As she settles on the sofa after a long day in the office she flicks on the TV, and realises she has missed the season premiere of her favourite US TV drama series. Years ago Eve could have caught up on her tablet or computer, but the major TV networks would have made her wait until the program had finished broadcasting and then a little time waiting for it to be made live online, as well as limiting her to their broadcast schedule.
What do clients want?With several of Australia's biggest media accounts coming up for tender and many changing hands this year David Spasovic looks at what is causing so many client-agency relationships to fracture. A cursory glance at the recent stories, opinion pieces and comments in the trade press present an image of significant rumblings of discontent in our industry. A quick count of media relationships that are or have recently been reviewed is evidence of this - Woolworths, Federal Government, Lion, Diageo, Nestle and CBA are a few accounts that fall into this category.
National security bills compound existing threats to media freedomAs the government considers changes to national security legislation Keiran Hardy looks at what today's proposals would mean for the media if implemented, in a cross-posting from The Conversation. The Parliamentary Joint Committee on Intelligence and Security (PJCIS) will publish its report on the National Security Legislation Amendment Bill (No. 1) 2014 (Cth) sometime during this sitting of parliament. The bill, introduced in the last sitting of parliament, has attracted significant criticism for the potential impact of proposed offences on media outlets. The main fear, fuelled by the fallout from the WikiLeaks and Snowden affairs, is that journalists could be imprisoned for reporting intelligence abuses or mistakes revealed by a "whistleblowing" intelligence officer, even when doing so would be in the public interest.
Why banner ads must dieWith publishers struggling to monetise digital and marketers unable to achieve cut through John McLean argues it's time to ditch banner ads and get collaborating. In a medium infatuated and necessitated by innovation, display advertising has been criminally bereft of it since it's inception 20 years ago. The first banner ad appeared in Wired Magazine in 1994* and little has changed since around 2000 when rich media placements became more common due to better connection speeds.
The hard news equation, and why it matters to BuzzfeedWith Buzzfeed pushing to be recognised as a news site Ciaran Norris looks at why it matters for new online media outlets to be seen as serious. Every morning on its News Breakfast show the ABC runs through the major stories on the front pages of the day's newspapers, covering everything from the Sydney Morning Herald to The Age, the Daily Telegraph to The Mercury. But it has also, for some time, included the homepage of the Australian version of The Guardian which differs from the rest of the organisations included because it has no printed version.
How much do we really know about privacy on Facebook?In this cross-posting from The Conversation Michael Cowling asks whether the recent controversy over the Facebook Messenger app shows people have reached the limit of what information they're willing to give away to companies. The recent furore about the Facebook Messenger app has unearthed an interesting question: how far are we willing to allow our privacy to be pushed for our social connections? In the case of the Facebook Messenger app, the answer appears to be: "Not as far as Facebook thinks." For those who are not yet on Facebook (yes, there are some), the social media giant has been asking all users who want to continue sending messages to their Facebook friends on their mobile devices to download a Facebook Messenger app. Facebook is preparing to stop the chat feature on its main Facebook app.
Will instant messaging eat social networks?Instant messaging is the new digital battle ground. Daniel Young looks at what impact this battle might have for the traditional social networks. The social media landscape is changing, again, and the new players are demanding brands shift their mindset - from being human to getting personal.
The Woolworths media pitch: a case study on how not to treat agenciesIn the wake of the decision by retailer Woolworths to retain Carat as its media agency, Mumbrella's Nic Christensen asks if the much-maligned pitch for the $240m account is a case study in how clients should not treat their agencies. It's funny how history has a habit of repeating itself, but you'd like to think the marketing world would occasionally learn a trick or two. Some of the decisions in the process which led to the decision by Woolworths to keep its mammoth media account at Carat certainly make you wonder what goes through the minds of some clients when they pitch.
What I learned from debating science with trollsIn this cross-posting from The Conversation science astronomer Michael J. I. Brown shares his experiences in debating with and challenging online trolls. I often like to discuss science online and I'm also rather partial to topics that promote lively discussion, such as climate change, crime statistics and (perhaps surprisingly) the big bang. This inevitably brings out the trolls. "Don't feed the trolls" is sound advice, but I've ignored it on occasion – including on The Conversation and Twitter – and I've been rewarded. Not that I've changed the minds of any trolls, nor have I expected to.
Most 'big data' marketing is a waste of time, and here's whyUsing big data to look at past trends is not the best way to work out what your customers want, argues Peter Swan of the UNSW Australia Business School in this cross-posting from The Conversation. A passer-by happens upon a drunk searching for a lost wallet under a streetlight. With nothing in plain sight, the passer-by asks "Where did you drop your wallet?". "Over there," gestures the drunk across the street, "but I'm looking here because this is where the light is."
When newspaper managements 'back' themselvesThis has been a bad week for the newspaper industry, says Mumbrella's Tim Burrowes As far as Australian newspapers go, this has been a most disillusioning week. I love 'em - but jeez, they make it hard.
It ain't weak to speak - how I dealt with depressionAfter the tragic news of Robin Williams' death after a struggle with depression Oli Shawyer shares the story of his battle with the black dog, and how talking about it helped him beat it. The news of Robin Williams rocked me to my core yesterday. I didn't know the man personally but there is something so profoundly tragic about a comedian, someone whose job it is to make us laugh every day, suffering so intensely. To be fair, it's a testament to how fucked up depression really is – that it can somewhat delude a man beloved by so many people, into deciding that he is better off dead.
Ikon Melbourne trading director Nathan Cook moves to Maxus
Ikon Melbourne's trading director Nathan Cook is moving to rival Maxus.
Cook makes a return to the GroupM fold less than two years after leaving MindShare, where he was also director of trading for almost nine years.
Ikon Melbourne boss Trudi Sampola said: "We are in the middle of the interviewing process so will look forward to sharing news about this appointment in the coming weeks."
Cook was a consultant at South East Water, and also had a three year stint at Zenith.

It wont be the same without Uncle Cookie
Hey, that guy's alright!
It is disappointing to see so many recent departures from Ikon.
I feel sorry for whoever is left there.
When will Dan take notice?
Dear Disappoiting,
You sound a little bitter…
Out with the old, in with the new. Ikon just got better!
I agree, you have to crack a few eggs to make an omelette, its a shame Ikon hasn't delivered over the last year compared to Ikon Sydney.

text: Thats how I see it myself. Great comments. The entire bush WH was a heaping pile of dog droppings. I wonder about how honest Arnold was about his stance on renewable energy. I suspect a lot of it was political posturing after he saw polls shpwing widespread public support and distrust w big oil and public anger w bushes cozy oil ties and the sky high prices they hained us while bush did nothing to reign it in. Im totally on board w Boxer and Jerry. No more Republicans robbing the bottom 95% to pay the top 5%.To vote for Meg and Carly would mean taking the state in a far worse direction than even Arnold did. At least he favored green energy and wasn't anti-choice and homophobic. Meg and Carly are rightwing extremist ideologues and are way out of step with most CA voters. Their 19th century style political positions would probably help them win in the fly over states and the south. But Ca is Obama country and we don't cherish the notion of an early return to the badly failed 'Bush leagues'!

Contender has added another big model to its impressive line of fishing boats with the introduction of the 39 ST. This two-step deep-V hull design adds another entry into the stepped-hull arena for Contender.
We ran the 39 ST out of Miami Beach, Florida, into a 15-knot easterly breeze and a two- to three-foot chop. Rigged with triple 300 hp V-6 Yamaha four-strokes, the 39 ST displayed a well-mannered ride. With a three-quarters load of fuel, the boat climbed onto plane with little effort, and we slipped through the outgoing tide rips of Government Cut into the slop and chop. I was impressed at how quiet and smooth the craft was quartering into the seas, where stepped hulls can hit hard.
At 4,500 rpm, it was running a solid 49 mph, burning 41 gallons per hour, making a bit over a mile to the gallon. However, in the conditions of the day, the 39 ST was very comfortable running 4,000 rpm, making just over 44 mph and burning 34 gph. I could sit at the leaning post without a death grip, and the boat felt as though it was loping along, yet we were making very good speed.
I liked the Uflex steering that Contender uses because the boat tracked true yet, when asked, carved turns at speed like a hot knife through butter, without the delay and looseness in the steering common on these large triple-rigged outboard boats. As we ran dead into the head sea, the 39 ST cut through the chop evenly and threw little spray to be carried onto the boat. It ran down-sea at speed with no stall when coming off a wave and tracked crisply. The boat also fished nicely, trolling a clean pattern and drifting evenly, with good lateral stability.
The 39 ST is nicely thought out, with a long list of standard features and an options package that takes care of pretty much anything you might need. On the foredeck, a large anchor locker comes with vertical anchor storage and plenty of room for all the rode you can store. The boat has a recessed handrail around the forward cockpit, and its forward cockpit deck features a fully lined 260-gallon in-deck storage or fish box. Our test boat had an optional coffin box with electrical hatch lift. Aft of the coffin, two full-length rod boxes outboard of the stringers hold an ample supply of tackle, and there's also an in-deck 145-gallon lined and insulated fish box or optional livewell just forward of the console.
The 39 ST has two console options: Contender's front-entrance console with molded-in rod holders on each side comes standard, but our test boat had the optional larger version with a portside entrance to the stand-up compartment that houses the head, the shower and a fully molded sink in its finished interior. An insulated drink box under the forward console seat keeps beverages cool, and a vertical rod rack on the starboard side keeps outfits handy.
The business end of the console has a helm pod with a center-mounted helm, with Yamaha gauges and a waterproof switch panel within easy view and reach. The electronics dash on our test boat featured a 15-inch screen and a clear plexiglass-covered storage compartment. The size of the console enables three guys to stand behind it with ease.

Rod Streater is my favorite sleeper this year. He's a great pass catcher and he will be especially valuable in PPR leagues. If Streater ends up the number 3 wide receiver he could catch a ton of passes. Injuries to Denarius Moore and Jacoby Ford are also a good thing for Streater.
I would definitely drop the TE ad get another WR.

Stopping at a convenience store on the way home or hanging out with friends, a child, the after-school eating machine, probably isn't making the most healthful choices.
A typical snack, such as a 150-calorie bag of chips washed down by a 135-calorie cola, doesn't contribute nutrients to a child's food intake. Add those empty calories to a child's daily food intake and he likely could be consuming too much.
This concerns health experts.
Childhood obesity more than tripled between 1980 and 2008, when close to 20 percent of children age 8 to 11 met the definition, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Atlanta.
Being obese puts a child at greater risk for bone and joint problems, sleep apnea and high blood pressure, according to the CDC.
Although parents can't always be around to monitor what a child is eating, one can teach a child better habits by having appropriate snacks available and by being a good role model.
Explain that snacking should take the edge off a child's hunger, but not ruin his appetite for dinner, says Malena Perdomo, registered dietitian, spokesperson for the American Dietetic Association, Chicago.
In fact, a snack is probably more modest than either you or your child assume.
Aim for healthful food with fewer than 100 calories, less than 3 grams total fat and no more than 8 grams of sugar, says Teresa Quattrin, M.D. chair, department of pediatrics, University of New York at Buffalo.
(Girls, ages 9 to 13, who aren't physically active, can have 130 calories of discretionary foods, such as snacks, in their daily intake of 1600 calories; boys in the same condition can have 195 calories of their 1800 daily calories, according to MyPyramid.gov from the U.S. Department of Agriculture.)
Go shopping as a family to find options kids will enjoy.

Design by William Swinton
Every Litograph design emerges from the text of a book. Click "Zoom in to read" above to zoom in and see the entire 24x36 print.
Litographs are printed on archival, vinyl-infused paper that is tear-resistant, water-resistant, and long-lasting. Our quoted dimensions include a 0.75 inch border on each side.
This print is available in the following sizes:
18x24: 29,968 words
24x36: 63,796 words
30x45: 118,354 words (full text)
It's the most amazing thing in the world and I have a ton of friends that love books. Honestly.
It is not always easy to shop for the perpetual reader, whether it is oneself or another. Litographs is a medium providing a clever, and very tailored method that considers one's love for the written word, and expands further into those creative avenues.
Your work is fantastic and it's innovative. For people who love books and everything about them, your posters make the books we love aesthetically pleasing for those who might not see the same picture in our head as we read.
The artwork is so amazing and the perfect gift for the person who has everything!
Astounding customer service, fabulous products, love everything about your company!
Wonderful company. Thank you for caring abiut our kids!
I bought 2 for my Middle School library, and they look great. The kids enjoy reading the books.
Because they're a cool way to fashionably show off my reading skills.
Love it- Beautiful art, clean lines, really great concept. love it!
I was very pleased with your product. I am a big fan of the concept you have developed with Litographs and the level of quality execution you have achieved with it. I have already suggested the product to a number of friends and family members.
I just love the posters and have bought them for family and friends. Delivery times are great as I am in the UK and they don't take too long to get here.
I bought the Great Gatsby poster for my little sister's birthday. She LOVED it! It is a totally original gift for someone who loves literature. I think that the more books you have the better, but the current selection is still amazing.
Great customer service, you guys are quick to respond to any questions sent your way and the variety you guys have is awesome!
First of all, appreciated your unique gifts for those who love and value literature and the joy of reading. Added to that, the process of selecting and ordering was simple and straightforward. Last but not least, packaging was great and shipping of the item was prompt and problem free.
It's such a unique gift and piece. It really strikes up a conversation and there is something for every bookworm...almost. More Kerouac!
This is the greatest company/product I've ever had the pleasure of knowing about/dealing with. I recommend Litographs every chance I get.
Not only are your items BAD-ASS, but I bought a poster for my girlfriend and she LOVED it!
My husband loved his gift of Leaves of Grass! I think these are great for any book lover. I love that I could customize the color of the print to match our existing decor. It turned out just as I expected it, and shipping was very quick.
Each piece is a timeless work that should always be displayed.
Oh I just love these posters. I got it for my sister for Christmas, I love books and she loves type so I thought it was the perfect combination of giver and getter. I've already recommended it to a bunch of people and my sister has been raving about it to all of her friends. It's great quality for a great product.
I was completely impressed with the product and the great (and prompt) customer service I received when I had an issue and requested an exchange.
I ordered a Les Miserables print for my teenage daughter, she LOVED it, she took the print that has all their examples to show her friends. Great quality, well packaged, this was perfect!
This is such an orignal product and a must have for book lovers!
I love the way each Litograph uses the text of a book to create a clever design that evokes the essence of the literary work. I own three prints so far. They are perfect for lovers of great literature.
Products are great and the customer service was great as well. I needed to change my shipping address quickly for te holidays and my email was answered very promptly and everything delivered to the right place on time. Everyone loved their gifts!
Loved my prints and the t-shirt. Brilliant concept and I love that they're made in the USA.
Cool stuff. I'm friends with nerds. Nerds like this. Cool nerd stuff.
It was one of the most unique gifts I have ever seen for a bibliophile. I got a tote and a poster for my avid reader sister and she absolutely loved them. She was texting pics to all of her college friends and can't wait to show them off to a few professors. Such an awesome idea.
I am in LOVE with your products and product line. I purchased quite a few for gifts this Christmas and everyone adored them. You are wonderful!
Your products are imaginative and they offer a unique way to keep favorite classics in sight. I also like that you donate a book to a needy community for each purchase!
High quality poster, you can actually read every word!
Ordering was easy. I was kept informed by email where my order was. The product was wonderful and the paper is was on was so much more then I expected, very thick Everyone I told was excited and wanted more information. I gave the gift to my daughter for Christmas and we are getting it framed. This is a keepsake for her. She is also going to be ordering more pieces from you in the future. Thanks for a "one of a kind" gift. Happy New Year and all the best!
I'm an English teacher, and I find the quality of the prints as well as the selection excellent and they look attractive on my wall.
I bought one print for my friend at work. I took it for custom framing. It turned out beautifully. She loved it!!
I have purchased two litographs as gifts and the look on someone's face when they see it is unforgetable. I would love to get one for myself and will sometime in the near future. With the bonus of a donation to the international book bank, you can't go wrong.
the shirts and poster look amazing. thr reactions from those to whom I gifted the shirts were ebullient with praise.
Service was excellent. Look and effect of poster exceeded my expectations. Unusual item which would be perfect as a gift. Very reasonable prices, including delivery price as I had it delivered to Ireland.
They're beautiful, unique, and tasteful.
Its awesome. No further explanation needed. :)
i've given three litograph gifts, and each one has been a total success. i've already recommended your products to a half dozen people at least!
Fast service, excellent packaging and beautiful and unique product.
The service was prompt and exactly as promised. The poster itself is perfect and very well done. Plus the designs you offer are so refreshingly unique!
quick delivery, product is unique, intellectual, and attractive
I think these are a clever and creative way to display some of your favorite pieces of literature. Great quality, price, and super friendly customer service.
I think the Shakespeare posters I bought are seriously the coolest art I own. And I own a lot of cool art.
I'm a PhD student in English so all of my friends and colleagues are avid readers who I know would love a litograph as much as I love mine. I recommend litographs to anyone looking for new office art or a present.
I love my poster- great quality and exactly as it looked on screen. Plus the service was excellent- delivery was faster than I expected (although international delivery was more expensive than I'd have liked!)
Looking at my poster just makes me happy. The quality of production makes it a great gift and a lasting keepsake.
Litographs is, I think, the only company to which I have ever sent fan mail. I have raved about it on my blog, facebook, in emails and in person. Service is fast, professional, capable and friendly. Prices are fair and the products are simply awesome. With most friends and relatives, recommendation is not necessary, I just show them the posters we have ordered and they immediately want some of their own. My only problem is postage, as I live in Europe - but having discovered that postage for 3 posters = postage for 1, I will place multiple orders in the future.
Because it's LIKE THE AWESOMEST THING IN THE WORLD.

As beautiful as Christmas trees and lights are, they present fire hazards many people may not be aware of. The American Red Cross of Eastern Massachusetts is urging homeowners to use extra caution this time of year to keep the season merry and to prevent holiday fires.
The Red Cross provided the following tips to ensure a safe and happy holiday:
Christmas Tree Care
- Purchase flame retardant metallic or artificial trees.
- If you purchase a real tree, make sure it has fresh, green needles that aren't easily broken.
- Keep live trees as moist as possible by giving them plenty of water.
- Use a sturdy tree stand designed not to tip over.
- Keep trees at least three feet away from heat sources, including fireplaces, portable heaters, radiators, heat vents and candles.
- Make sure light strings and other decorations for the tree are in good condition. Follow manufacturer's instructions for their use.
- Don't use anything with frayed electrical cords.
- Never drop or flick cigarette ashes near a tree.
- Never put tree branches or needles into a fireplace or wood-burning stove.
- Don't leave dried-out trees in a house or garage, or placed against the house or garage.
- Safely dispose of trees through recycling centers or community pick-up services as they become dry and needles begin to drop.
Holiday Lights and Decorations
- Always unplug tree and holiday lights before leaving home or going to bed.
- Inspect holiday lights each year for frayed wires, bare spots, broken or cracked sockets and excessive kinking or wear.
- Avoid overloading electrical outlets by not linking more than three light strands.
- Use flame-resistant or flame-retardant decorations.
- Place decorations at least three feet away from fireplaces, portable heaters, radiators, heat vents and candles.
Holiday Candles
- Always extinguish candles before leaving a room or going to bed.
- Never use lit candles to decorate a tree.
- Keep candles at least three feet away from trees, evergreens, holiday decorations, and other items that can catch fire such as clothing, papers and curtains.
- Use candle holders that are study, won't tip over easily, are made from non-flammable materials, and are large enough to collect dripping wax.
- Remember that even glass holders can shatter and explode from the heat of a candle flame.
- Place candles where they cannot be reached or easily knocked over by children and pets.
