Joannie has not yet "shut the door" on returning to competition and has some plans for assessing that possibility over the coming months.

Can't skate but love to watch
At least SC is doing something.Skate Canada high performance director Mike Slipchuk plans to meet with Rochette sometime during the Stars tour to discuss her potential return to International Skating Union (ISU) competition. He wants to ensure she understands ISU Olympic eligibility requirements and Skate Canada's expectations before making her decision.
No talk about the team event, where Rochette would most likely get that second Olympic medal should she return to competitive figure skating.
I would so love to see more of Joannie's gorgeous skating, and she is certainly needed. However, I hope she will only come back if it is what she truly wants to do. She deserves to be able to do whatever will make her happiest and most fulfilled.
So is anyone thinking the "she's had her turn, give the younger ones a chance?" I'm not, because I think Canada needs her desperately. But that argument has been used a lot when veterens come back.
IMO that just doesn't apply here. However, if Joannie should return in time for the 2013 Worlds she would have a good chance of securing 2 spots for Canadian Ladies for the Olympics - something that just wouldn't happen without her so aside from 2013 Worlds she wouldn't be taking anyone else's turn imo.
That said, none of the current Canadian ladies are getting it done, and I'd love to see Joannie compete again, so I'm willing to be a hypocrite and say DO IT JOANNIE!
She is so coming back, but she is so humble that she wants to lower expectations.
It's tough to come back for a podium finish and I´m sure she knows that. I have no expectations of great results there. I don't usually like veterans returning but I don't see her getting a reputation bonus in Sochi. I think the team event for her could be fun and as Vancouver was bittersweet for her I wouldn´t begrudge her a fun Olympic experience. I think that makes me slightly hypocritical in my views but I just don't see her in the same light as other veterans returning, probably because of her back story and the fact she wouldn't be stealing a spot from any Canadian ladies
Man, I love Joannie's skating. It would be great to see her out there. Not even because the Canadian team needs her right now, but because she is truly a beauty to watch.
If she is serious about coming back, I would hope she would return in the fall season, like Plushenko, and not wait until the Olympic year.
I meant to take the high road.... but I missed the exit.
So she said she doesn't plan to compete at 2013 worlds but will train 'intensely' this summer. My guess is no matter what we won't see her on the GP but I'll pray for a last minute decision to go to nationals and maybe we'll get lucky.
If I'm her I'm not just reviewing ISU eligibility rules, but I'm also negotiating terms to be selected to the Team Event. I assume this is her focus. Canada will likely only have one lady at Sochi and it will be the national champion, which may or may not be her. If I'm her I'd want some sort of assurance that I get the 2nd ladies spot in the team event so as not to waste my comeback. Something like "if I finish top 3 at nationals and score at least 150 points in a comp prior to Olympics you'll put me on".
That's the kind of conversation I expect will happen.
If I were Joannie, I'd have taken a look at the current crop of senior ladies and believe that I could absolutely be competitive against this group. In fact, I'd think that at my 2009-10 level, I could have won Worlds in 2011 and 2012. Yes, there is a lot of talent coming into the senior ranks in the next 2 years, but there's no guarantee that all of those skaters will excel as seniors. I see no reason why she can't challenge for the podium if that's what she really wants.
I don't understand training intensively this summer and then not coming back to competition in 2012-2013. Unfortunately, I think the reason why she won't return for 2013 Worlds is that it conflicts with the SOI tour.
But if SOI is her priority, that means she won't return to competition until the start of the 2013-2014 season. That means another summer of intensive training and then competing at the elite level after she hasn't done so for more than three years. NOT the best scenario for success IMO.
I was never crazy about Joannie, but her return (assuming the year before the Olympics) could secure 3 spots for Canadian ladies in the 2014 Olympics. That will be good for their future.
3 spots? And who will be the other Canadian to make the top 10? That is if Joannie even makes the podium.

Ambition to put Hampshire broadband in 'premier league'
Thursday, 18 July 2013
The Leader of Hampshire County Council has declared his ambition for Hampshire to be in England's 'premier league' for Broadband access.
Cllr Roy Perry pledged his commitment for Hampshire to go beyond the Government's new target of 24 Mbps for 95 per cent of premises by 2017.
He described the multi-million pound investment as one of the "most significant the County Council would make in its lifetime" and a "lasting but one-off investment that would benefit all residents".
At the meeting of the Full Council in Winchester this morning (18 July) Cllr Perry announced that he had asked the Chief Executive to begin preparations to further extend the proposed coverage and to identify how the County Council could increase the speed and function of the original proposals to be funded by the County Council.
Hampshire County Council, together with district and borough partners, has already invested £5 million in the project and was awarded the same figure from Broadband Delivery UK. BT is contributing an additional £3.8 million towards the cost of installing the new fibre infrastructure bringing the total investment in the project to just over £13.8 million. The money will stimulate investment and finance the shortfall, to cover the costs of the upgrade to the network infrastructure.
The County Council is shortly to sign off the detailed implementation plans for those early phases of work under its contractual arrangements with the BT Group who will extend superfast broadband to 90 per cent of premises in Hampshire by rolling out a high speed infrastructure network that is capable of delivering speeds over 24mbps in line with the national framework, agreed by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport. Under those plans, all other premises, the final 10 per cent, will be able to access Broadband at speeds of at least 2mbps.
Cllr Perry said: "My Cabinet colleagues and I feel we need to do more. I want to put Hampshire at the highest end of coverage and performance of any county in England. This will be one of the most significant investments we will make in economic terms in the life of the county for the benefit of young and old, families, rural, urban, business and learning."
Arrangements will be made for the Council's capital programme to be adjusted for this new investment. The proposals will be further developed and brought forward later this year alongside detailed technical work.
The first premises in Hampshire to benefit from the existing Hampshire Broadband Programme are due to go live in January 2014 with engineers commencing work to enhance the network in the next few months.
For more information about the Hampshire Broadband Programme, please register to be kept in touch as more information becomes available. The Council wants as many people as possible to continue to sign up to the campaign to demonstrate there are plenty of potential customers who want to make sure of this service.

I'm not sure why they suck so bad either. They just keep losing. Over and over again...
NHL GameCentre ~ The Blackhawks Honour Eddie Olzcyk
Congratulations to one of the newest members of the US Hockey Hall of Fame!!
Also...In not so great news....Evegeny Malkin went into the boards *hard* during tonight's game. He went off under his own power, but it also looked like his head literally was whipped back into the boards and then back again. Scary to say the least.
Well, it took me this long to find it, but it was tough to find a Leafs Opening where Scotty sang *both* Anthems.
You Tube ~ Remembrance Day Pre-Game Ceremony - Leafs vs Wild - Part 2 of 2 (HD)
He, Michael Burgess and John McDermott really are the three best out of those who do the Anthems for the Leafs. Anyway, I really wanted everyone to know exactly how Scott sounded on Opening Night at the ACC. I'm just sad it took me this long to find it.
Did anyone else watch the Detroit-Chicago game this afternoon on NBC? What a thriller! I thought Chicago was going to get their first regulation loss, but ended up winning in a shoot out. I wanted to see them finally lose but found myself rooting for them as I'm not much of a Detroit fan. My boss loves Patrick Kane so I'm sure he'll be happy since Kane got the tying goal late in the 3rd and then got the shoot out goal to win. My boss and I always like to pick the opposite teams in playoffs and tournaments just because we don't like having to root for the same team, so I was hoping for Chicago to win but not for Patrick Kane to score, haha. I live in Minnesota so we'll both be rooting for the Wild to take down Chicago on Tuesday!
I don't even follow hockey, but I really needed to share this photo from the SI Vault Twitter. I believe that fur coat would have been better suited to Tarasova.
Farewell oh Captain my Captain...Enjoy playing w/Sid and Geno in Pittsburgh!!
Which considering the direction the Flames are flaming into, I'm sure Iggy will greatly enjoy his time in Pittsburgh.
Oh, same here, but it still hurts to see Iggy go.
However, it was expected. Now, if the Leafs go stupid and actually make a deal for Luongo, that will make me well and truly heart sick, because that guy is the last thing the Buds need right now. We're on a nice little streak and I think Reimer will be just fine and doesn't deserve to be a backup.
The Leafs also don't need the mill stone that is the remander of Roberto's contract either, so hopefully they don't pull the string on that rumour and turn it into fact.
I've never started a post by quoting myself, but...
Indeed it does, but you signed it M'dear and were getting much praise for how you were handling things this Season being pushed back to a Back up role pretty much, but you let frustration win out today and...My contract sucks!!
Anyone else still wondering why I wasn't happy about the rumours? I was doing a Hallelujah dance when the deadline came and went w/out hearing about Luongo about to wear a Leafs jersey. Do we really need that in our Dressing Room right now? Nope, nope and NOPE!!
I get why Dave Nonnis was going for a Veteran Goalie, because Reimer and Scrivens have zilch experience at the Playoffs at the NHL level and he wanted someone there to try and steer the "kids" a bit and have a steadying presence there. I get all of that and, on that level, I also understand it. However, our young Goalies aren't going to get that experience if they don't even get a chance *to* experience it.
Now maybe I'm a bit naive here, but I truly do think we'll be okay in Goal. It's our defence we *really* needed to try and work something out and considering what this kid coming from the Av's did when he was paired w/John-Michael Liles back in the day in Colorado and I'm excited to see him play and what'll happen tomorrow night.
So I'm good w/what the Leafs did and didn't do today.
My Flames OTOH...Sigh... Sad. Just out and out sad.
Congratulations to our Chicago Blackhawks fans here at FSU on becoming the first team to clinch a Playoff Spot!!
And good on Jonathan Toews for what he did at the Ceremonial Face Off. It was Hockey Fights Cancer night and the little guy who did the honours is fighting Leukaemia. Not only did Captain Serious give this lil guy the puck, as all of the Ceremonial Puck Droppers get as a keepsake of the moment, but then he gives the kid his game stick too.
Now that Ladies and Gents, *that* is a Class Act and Man.
ETA ~ Here's the video of the Puck Drop!!

OHHHHHHH my word. The Leafs win again. Pulled a rabbit out of their -- hat? Is it actually possible? Could they? Will they?

Consider, the Mathamancer states that for every number you'll get a zero and that Fate is lazy and pulls form the nearest source. With Wanda Goodmiton just rolled a REALLY good number and now they are due for a really BAD number. But, If Delphie can pass Wanda off to Haffaton then they'll get the bad number.
Additionally, Delphie is a predictimancer. Lets assume for a minute that she knows everything that we know. Wanda is going to go to FAQ and then go to GK. The simplest way for this to happen is for goodmiton to somehow be destroyed and leave Wanda leaderless so she goes to FAQ. However, if Delphie can trade Wanda away for peace then there can be ways or Wanda to get to FAQ that do not include Goodmiton's destruction.
The only problem I can see with this theory is that the simplest thing Delphie could have done to save Goodmiton was to stop Wanda from ever popping. But I suppose it's possible that with the amount of Fate Wanda is supposed to have, Delphie decided to let her exist anyways because she felt that Wanda would have a net positive effect on the world.
Delphie might not have had a choice. Without Wanda popping tBfGK would never have happened so Wanda had to have popped. So what Delphie has to do is try to maneuver the story to tBfGK without having Goodmitton destroyed and with the least death and destruction to her side possible.
teratorn wrote:Wanda was extremely loyal to her original side. A pity she didn't get Parson at that time.
Speaking of Parson, what sort of Zero would he represent in this system? He also has literal Erf shaking significance way beyond the huge cost to summon him and his huge upkeep fee. Does this mean that GK will have bad rolls or does Parson not count because it wasn't random chance that summoned him?
Or is Parson where Erf divided by Zero?
The idea that every high roll has to be balanced by a low roll is an interesting one. It could be Erfworlds balancing system to keep the conflict ongoing. A side wiping out creates a negative that needs to be balanced and a new side is created or a side expanding to fast creates a positive to be balanced resulting in bad luck for that side. Sort of like how in the Game Planetside if one Empire is to large then the other two start getting bonus.
This could explain how no one has won yet. I sort of see Erfworld as a big game of Civilization with a whole lot of sides and a tactical simulator added in. In Civ once you reach a certain size you can start grinding up other smaller civs easily and the momentum swings in your favor as your expansion fuels your expansion. The fact that Erf doesn't have this happen could mean there is some sort means to prevent a large side from continuously expanding, it could be maintenance fees, or distance from capital fees or something like that. Or it could be a civ that has gotten to large starts having roll issues.

Flowers, breakfast in bed … and a security system?
In the past, that third item may not have come to mind as a way to make life easier and more enjoyable for Mom on Mother's Day, but home automation may be changing that—or so a creative new marketing campaign from Vivint underscores.
A news release from that Provo, Utah-based home automation/home security company just in time for Mother's Day points out that new home automation features can help make life easier for today's hard-working moms.
The release is headlined: "Vivint home automation makes the perfect Mother's Day gift for busy moms."
And this is how it continues:
As Mother's Day approaches, grateful children and husbands everywhere are looking for the perfect gift for Mom. For a busy mother looking for something to simplify her life, a new home automation system from Vivint, the largest home automation provider in North America, is the perfect fit."
Wherever Mom is—at work, home, the grocery store, or traveling—she can check in at home using her smartphone, laptop, or computer. And whether she's a stay-at-home mom, a working mom, or a combination of both, she can use Vivint to watch live video of what's happening at home, arm or disarm the security system, get text notifications when the kids get home from school, and adjust the thermostat. All Vivint products work remotely with any web-enabled device, so moms on-the-go can always stay connected to their homes and families.

PSA TEC is in full swing. The action started on Sunday night, but I arrived late on Monday. Yesterday I spent the day (Tuesday) talking to PSA Security integrators and members and attending four different educational sessions.
I attended the State of the Industry panel, moderated by PSA Security CEO Bill Bozeman and featuring a large group of integrators and industry experts; a discussion on Big Data, Business Resiliency and Physical Security moderated by Chris Peckham of Kratos; a session on security finance moderated by Bozeman; and a session on how to adopt managed services, moderated by Sharon Shaw, of Integrators Support.
These folks covered a lot of ground. I'll be writing more in-depth stories on some of the topics covered, but below are some highlights from the day.
Haves and have-nots
Bozeman started the first session of the day quoting Imperial Capital's Jeff Kessler, who in a recent report wrote that increasingly the world of systems integration is dominated by the "haves" and the "have-nots." The "have" have an RMR base, are making a good margin on jobs, and are profitable. The have-nots have not moved into managed services and are surviving on installation revenue. Bozeman agreed with Kessler, recommended all read his report, and spent a great deal of time in this session and others talking about how all PSA Security integrators can join the "haves."
Know your verticalsPhil Aronson of Aronson Security Group, Ron Oetjen of Intelligent Access, and Eric Yunag of Dakota Security all said "deep focus" on your vertical markets is key. Yunag, whose Dakota Security is growing rapidly, said that his company made a strategic misstep 7 or 8 years ago when it decided to expand outside of the financial vertical. Banks are something that Dakota had grown to know very very well. The mistake the company made was not the fact that it expanded outside of that vertical, but it did so without the focus and understanding of other verticals.
The message from integrators on the panel was this: Focusing on different verticals is good, but get to know them. And don't delve into too many. How many verticals should an independent integrator focus on? Three, most agreed.
Mad about channel conflict? Look withinAnother topic that came up was the problem of channel conflict and manufacturers going direct to end users. Jim Henry of Kratos, said it's important for systems integrators to remember that manufacturers who go direct to end users fail. However, he noted, "it's important that and end user sees you as a value, not a middleman making a margin." Yunag added that if an end user is going direct in your coverage area "that's your failure as a systems integrator." You need to know what's happening in your region, and if this kind of stuff happens take a look at your own organization.
Government OpportunityDon Erickson, CEO of SIA, was banging the drum about the opportunity for integrators who want to do business with the federal government. Despite sequestration and budget problems, money is in the pipeline for K-12 projects, ports, transportation. "Consider the GSA Schedule program, it's a very effective contract vehicle for doing business with the federal government."
How to build an effective business?During the State of the Industry, Ron Oetjen of Intelligent Access Systems broke it down this way: hire the right people and focus on your strategic plan. Later, during a finance educational session that got pretty granular about how to make your business attractive to buyers, Kratos' Jim Henry said that the businesses that he's attracted to are the ones that are not for sale, the ones with a "clear vision and a mission."
Boston bombing and video surveillanceIn the aftermath of the Newtown gun massacre and the Boston Marathon bombing, Yunag said that now is a "significant watershed for our industry and the services we provide … in the next five to ten years, the way video surveillance is used will change," he predicted. The general public has seen, particularly with Boston, how video surveillance can be useful. Jim Henry said that the incident clearly demonstrated how video can be used for "actionable intelligence and business intelligence." Further, he said, it's important to note that the ability to find the suspect was not because the camera in question was a certain quality or manufacturer, but because it was a "well positioned camera installed by a professional." This horrific event showed the world how video can be used, Yunag said, and it's incumbent on integrators now to have those conversations with law enforcement and others about how they can best take advantage of video and other physical security offerings to help prevent and detect situations like these.
There are many more highlights that I'll report on later, now I need to get to the conference.
After the bombing at the Boston Marathon on April 15, I began wondering what the security would be like at the April 28 Big Sur Marathon.
I ran (OK I jogged, maybe even walked a little) this spectacular course that runs along Highway 1 in California in 2011 and did the same on Sunday. I was curious to see if there would be a more noticeable security presence at the event this year.
There were a few stories published before the race. In an interview with the Santa Cruz Sentinel, Michael Klein, who oversees security for the event, declined to talk specifics, but he was quoted as saying there would be "tons more resources" this year compared to past years.
He said entities involved in security for the event included: California Highway Patrol, California Emergency Management Agency, Cal Fire, Monterey County Sheriff's Office, Monterey Police Department, Sand City Police Department and the Monterey Regional Airport Fire Department. All will be coordinated into an incident command system that will be based on training models used by he federal government for mass casualty disaster response."
Another story from Active.com about post-Boston marathon safety reported that the Boston Marathon has been a pilot project of sorts for "emergency action techniques" a communication system and protocol called Next-Generation Incident Command System (NICS). The Boston Athletic Association coordinated with the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency, the National Guard and other local authorities to implement NICS.
From that story:"In 2008, Boston Emergency Medical Service Chief Richard Serino told the Boston Globe that they approached events like the marathon as, "planned disasters." He went on to state that such circumstances presented, "an opportunity to test some things you would never want to test in a real disaster."It just turned out that, this year, the disaster occurred during the marathon."
In the Santa Cruz article, Michael Klein says points out that the Boston and Big Sur marathon locations are completely different. Managing threat in a crowded city involves different techniques than managing threats along a difficult-to-access highway that has hills on one side and the ocean on the other.
While terrorism may not have been top-of-mind for Big Sur marathon organizers in the past, the possibility of mass casualties that could result from a natural disaster have been, according to Klein. Along the California Coast, earthquakes and landslides are common and occur without notice.
In fact, as the result of a landslide in the winter of 2011 that left part of Highway 1 impassable, the Big Sur race course had to be changed from the usual Big Sur to Monterey point-to-point race to an out-and-back course that started and ended in Monterey.
So, what was Big Sur like? I have no doubt there were more security measures in place, but it wasn't very noticeable. Maybe there were a few more police vehicles around, perhaps certain protocol—like maybe tickets to get on buses to the race start (at 3:30 a.m.!)—were checked a little more thoroughly by than in the past, but it wasn't obvious or restrictive feeling.
The event is really well organized, and as any security director or integrator will tell you, you need policy and protocol in place to make even the best security system work effectively.
More than 4,000 people run the marathon and 6,000 others do races of shorter distances or the relay. That's a lot of people along the 26-mile stretch of highway.
It takes 200 buses to move people to the start line and various staging points for the relay and other races. The event is manned by 2,500 volunteers who cheerfully transport, feed, direct and assist the runners.
So, I didn't see more cameras or armored vehicles or obviously restricted access to different venues at the marathon.
What I did notice was a lot of talk about security and the Boston bombing. Ron Kramer, the Boston Marathon event director spoke to the crowd at the starting line.
Many incredible athletes run Boston and Big Sur every year, but this year nearly 400 people did both. More than ever before.
From a participant's point of view, the Big Sur Marathon went off without incident. The landscape was as stunning as ever, the hills as beastly as before. There was definitely a new awareness of security among the crowd, (and certainly on the part of the organizers.) but it didn't lessen the experience for me. On the contrary, it made me appreciate even more how very well organized this event really is.
Voters in Washington State and Colorado last fall legalized the recreational use of marijuana—and created a new demand for security, with pot warehouses and stores in those states anxious to protect their valuable stash. However, according to a report from CNNMoney this week, the fact that pot sales are still illegal under federal law is creating some security hassles.
Not only is ADT refusing to provide security services to such businesses, citing federal law, but other security companies that do want to partake are finding it hard to get loans from banks, which are experiencing federal pressure, the report said.
That comes amidst a growing demand for security from pot dispensaries and warehouses, the report said. It said they're targets because a pound of marijuana sells for $2,000 wholesale and—with pot sales illegal under federal law—business owners prefer transactions in cash.
"A robber who swipes the jars on display alone could make away with $20,000 of product, plus whatever stacks of bills are behind the counter," the report said. As a consequence, it said, "a typical store has more than a dozen cameras, motion detectors, infrared sensors and flood lights. Some even line the ceilings with tripwire to avoid rooftop burglars sawing their way in."
However, CNNMoney added, "some store owners who use ADT, the nation's largest security provider, say the company has dropped them in recent months.
Sarah Cohn, ADT director of media relations, told me, "ADT has made a policy decision not to sell security services to businesses engaged in the marijuana industry because it is still illegal under federal law." But other security companies are stoked about protecting newly legitimate pot businesses, the report said. "The security needs create an opportunity for startups like Canna Security, a Colorado company currently expanding to Washington," CNNMoney said.
Canna Security's founder, Daniel Williams, told CNNMoney that footage from video security cameras shows that robbers targeting pot growers and stores sometimes rely on far-out methods.
He said footage included video of teenagers ramming an Audi through the door of a pot warehouse and a "cat burglar" who cut a hole in a warehouse roof to rappel down to the green loot. The robbers were foiled in both cases.
CNNMoney said the security demand is so great that Williams' "employees are working 12-hour shifts every day, installing cameras and alarm systems across both states."
His only problem is that his bank recently denied him a credit line to finance his company's growth, even though it accepted his cash deposits, the report said.
"It gets frustrating when I get a whole new channel of business and funding isn't there to adjust to it," Williams told CNNMoney.
There has been a lot of debate in the past few months about the government infringing on the privacy and rights of its citizens. Most of the heat has been generated by the standoff over gun control, but you don't have to look far to find people who think Big Brother is lurking around every corner—at the IRS, DHS and even your local cop shop.
So what about video surveillance? Did the fact that video helped take down the Boston bombers give the powers-that-be carte blanche to watch your every move, whenever and wherever you go? Will there soon be blanket surveillance every time you step out your door? And if that's the case, where is the outrage and pushback?
Apparently there won't be any. In a poll taken after the Boston bombing, The New York Times and CBS News found that 78 percent of Americans favor installing video surveillance cameras in public places, judging that any infringement on their privacy is worth it to help prevent terrorist attacks.
That sentiment bodes well for the security industry, which stands to profit from the increased public and private spending. Even before the bombing, IMS Research was projecting a 114 percent increase in the global market for video surveillance equipment, from $9.6 billion in 2010 to $20.5 billion in 2016. IMS is in the process of revising that forecast, no doubt making it even rosier.
Which brings us to drones (or maybe not, but that's where I'm going). Last week, Boston Police Commissioner Edward Davis said he would be interested in using aerial surveillance technology to monitor events like the Boston Marathon. He wasn't talking about helicopters—the price of drones has gotten to the point where local police departments are using them, particularly in rural areas.
The security industry might be able to benefit from that development too. The question is, when will the privacy line be crossed in the minds of the public? You might feel safer knowing that your bank or train station is under surveillance, but how will you feel when a police drone flies over your house? Or am I being paranoid?
It will be interesting to see what happens on that front. For now, though, protection has trumped the freedom to remain anonymous, at least when it comes to surveillance on the ground. The Tsarnaev brothers can attest to that.
I've been writing about a new trend in the industry: selling home security in a retail environment. And now communications giant Comcast is one of the latest to embrace retail, opening a new store in Albuquerque, N.M. designed to let customers experience its Xfinity Home automation/home security product firsthand.
Philadelphia-based Comcast on April 20 held a grand opening of its new Xfinity Customer Center, the company said. It invited elected officials and community leaders to tour the facility, and Comcast gave a $2,500 donation to the Boys & Girls Club of Central New Mexico.
Comcast said the 2,500 square-foot center, which is open seven days a week, "is designed entirely around the needs of customers and provides consumers with an opportunity to explore, learn about, and interact directly with the latest Xfinity products and services."
Here's more on what Comcast had to say about the center:
Featuring fully interactive touchscreen displays; the environment enables customers to learn about products and indulge in the complete Xfinity Experience. The center also exhibits a 3D viewing experience, and comfortable seating areas. Customers can try out Comcast's Xfinity Home security system, the Xfinity TV app and popular apps on an iPad. Customers also can experience Xfinity TV, test drive Xfinity Internet's speeds and learn more about Comcast Business Class products and services at Kiosks throughout the center.
In addition, customers will receive personalized service from trained and knowledgeable Sales Consultants and more time-saving offerings, including a self-service kiosk for quick bill pay and a new queuing system that allows customers to explore and be entertained instead of waiting in line for service.

Comcast was a leader in the trend of among telecoms and cablecos entering the security market, launching its Xfinity Home Security product in June 2010. The company renamed the service last year as just Xfinity Home to reflect the fact that it includes many home automation features in addition to home security. The product has been rolled out in major markets across the nation.
Comcast is now part of a retail trend being embraced by both large and small companies selling security.
Telecom giant AT&T has told me that selling Digital Life, its home security/home automation product, in its retail stores is a key part of its sales strategy. Also, retail giant Lowe's recently announced it is selling its Iris product not only its own stores but in Verizon Wireless stores.
And I just wrote recently about a small, traditional security company, Madison, Miss.-based The Alarm Company, finding its new retail location a roaring business success.
I'll be talking to Comcast to learn more about its new store.
Looking back on it, it was a little too close for comfort: Walking the streets of Cambridge at about the same time the Boston Marathon bombers were killing a police officer at MIT, just a few blocks from a nightclub where I was heading with a friend. Investigators had released photos of the suspects a few hours earlier and they were now on the run, with a carjacking, police chase (more on that later) and shootout to follow.
The two men should have known they wouldn't remain anonymous for long. Given the extent of video surveillance at the bombing site and the number of people taking photos of the race on their cellphones, it was only a matter of time before authorities put the pieces together. Credit for identifying the suspects goes not only to the police and FBI, but also to the technology that made it happen.
The use of that technology extended to the arrest of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the suspect who fled on foot after surviving the shootout on the night of April 18. Holed up in a shrink-wrapped boat in Watertown, his presence was confirmed by helicopter with the help of thermal-imaging cameras provided by FLIR Systems.
In a black-and-white image that has gone viral since Tsarnaev was taken into custody, his glowing body can be seen through the covering on the boat. Police later sent in an unmanned vehicle to lift the covering, which allowed them to determine that Tsarnaev was not wearing an explosive vest. They soon moved in and apprehended him, ending four days of high anxiety.
My night in Cambridge ended with an improvised escape from town. After leaving the club we found the streets buzzing with dozens of police cruisers, all screaming west toward the shootout in Watertown. Think of the chase scene from "The Blues Brothers" movie—no intersection was safe to cross, even if you had a green light. The main routes out of Cambridge were blocked, so we had to pick our way through a maze of side streets until we found our way home.
What we didn't know that night was that the MIT slaying and the bombing suspects were connected. That information was confirmed after we made it out of the city, which was soon under lockdown. I'm not sure I would have changed my plans, but I'm obviously glad our paths didn't cross.
Marcus Dunn was late for the phone call Tuesday morning, but there was no need to apologize (although he did so anyway). As director of government relations for the Security Industry Association, he had been in a meeting to discuss the bombings in Boston and it ran longer than expected.
Our conversation—we speak every month about legislative issues affecting the industry—quickly turned to Monday's deadly attack. Less than 24 hours had passed and speculation was rampant about who had done it and why. There were few new facts, but police had started to sift through surveillance video that likely will be key to solving the crime.
That provided a silver lining, however slim, for Dunn.
"When these things happen, despite all the craziness, there's a little bit of pride in being with an organization that often prevents these types of things or plays a large role in apprehending those responsible," he said. "There are some critics of the technology and how there are cameras on the streets, but I think we've seen time and time again that they're effective in preventing crime and certainly very effective in capturing perpetrators."
Dunn said that was the case after bombs killed 52 people aboard three London trains and a city bus on July 7, 2005. The examination of CCTV images helped investigators identify the suicide bombers and arrest others connected to the attacks.
"We're trying to determine what was deployed in the area in Boston and if a [SIA] member company had equipment deployed there," Dunn said. "In London, it's just decked out—there are cameras everywhere. That's what they used [in 2005]. They were able to go through the surveillance footage very quickly."
In the aftermath of Monday's attack, there was also the realization that "soft targets" like the Boston Marathon will always be vulnerable. No matter what security precautions are taken, the risk can never be eliminated—at least not in a free society. With it comes a loss of innocence that deepens the grief.
"The marathon is one of those things that is very open, you can come and go," Dunn said. "Those days are gone now."
After SIA's meeting Tuesday morning, CEO Don Erickson—who is also a marathon runner—echoed the thoughts of many with the following statement: "As someone who has personally experienced the strong community spirit that exists on marathon days, I am incredibly saddened by the horrific events that tragically occurred yesterday in Boston. On behalf of SIA, our thoughts and prayers are extended to those who were injured and to the families of those who lost their lives on what should have been a day of accomplishment and excitement for the city of Boston. We extend our thanks to the first responders who acted so quickly to help the victims of this attack."
I wrote previously about Tony Wells, ADT chief marketing and customer officer, posing as an entry-level employee on the CBS reality show "Undercover Boss." Wells told me how the experience made him really appreciate ADT's hard-working employees. But I didn't know until the show aired on April 12 that the company showed its appreciation to one employee in the form of $35,000.
The employee, a technician named Jesus, has an 18-month-old daughter and he and his fiancée were barely making ends meet. But Jesus showed an outstanding work ethic shown as he helped Wells—in his "Undercover" persona of "James"—learn on the job. So, when Wells revealed who he really was at the end of the show, he also told Jesus that ADT wanted to reward him.
"You told me about your hardships and how hard you were working and we'd like to do something special for your daughter," Wells said.
He said Jesus would get $10,000 to start an education fund for his daughter, and $25,000 for his family.
Jesus appeared overcome. "It's too much … thank you," he told Wells.
The technician used the family money to move into a "dream home," according to news reports.
Boca Raton-based ADT has 16,000 employees, and it's not known what salary Jesus earns. But Glassdoor, a salary web site, lists ADT employees' average salary as $44,527, higher than the national average of $41,000, according to the Aol Jobs web site.
Updated 3:40 p.m. April 17
Both CNN and the Boston Globe on Wednesday, April 17 reported that a suspect has been identified in the Boston Marathon terrorist bombing and that an arrest has been made or is imminent. Both backed off of that assertion about an hour later, and the Boston Police made a statement saying that no arrest had been made.
From the Globe:" …authorities have an image of a suspect carrying, and perhaps dropping, a black bag at the second bombing scene on Boylston Street, outside of the Forum restaurant.Investigators are "very close" in the investigation, said the official, who declined to be named.That official said authorities may publicize their finding as early as this afternoon.The same official also said a surveillance camera at Lord & Taylor, located directly across the street, has provided clear video of the area, though it was unclear whether the image of the suspect was taken from that camera. "The camera from Lord & Taylor is the best source of video so far," said Dot Joyce, a spokeswoman for Boston Mayor Thomas M. Menino. "All I know is that they are making progress."
Most experts hope that crucial information will be gleaned from video—footage from city surveillance systems, local businesses and videos from the smartphones of those watching the marathon.
This morning the LA Times reported that analysts from the FBI are "sifting through more than 10 terabytes of data for clues about who might have placed the bombs near the finish line. The data include call logs collected by cellphone towers along the marathon route and surveillance footage collected by city cameras, local businesses, gas stations, media outlets and spectators who volunteered to provide their videos and snap shots, said the federal law enforcement source.The FBI has flown analysts from field offices across the country to Boston to watch and log hundreds of hours of video, he said.
I asked Amit Gavish, GM, Americas, BriefCam, via email, what he thought the prospects were for finding clues in the various video footage taken in the area of the finish line. In addition to working for Briefcam, a manufacturer of video synopsis systems which enable the very quick review of hours of video [],Gavish, is a CPP, with 16 years of security and military experience in the U.S. and Israel. He served as the Deputy Director of Security at the Office of the President of the State Israel and was in charge of physical and information security. Before joining BriefCam, Gavish was a risk management consultant specializing in risk assessment, development of emergency plans and training programs.
Gavish said it will be important to look at video footage taken days before the marathon: "In my opinion, the person was there before. The person who did this most likely did some dry runs before the event, even days before and probably was there hours before the event."
He said the footage from Monday is likely "crowded to the point where you can't see who put the device at the scene, and you have to go back a few days prior and see who was there … who looked suspicious, who was just walking by or loitering."
He said there "are hundreds of cameras that could potentially have something. There are good cameras there—Boston PD, public cameras, stores in the neighborhood—but part of the effectiveness of the investigation is how fast you can get to something that you can work on," he said.
I also did an email interview with Zvika Ashani, CTO of Agent Video Intelligence (Agent Vi). I asked Ashani how a product like Agent Video's VI-Search would examine video from multiple sources.
Vi-Search can be "used in an offline mode on cameras that are not part of a large pre-installed surveillance system. For example, video can be retrieved from a store or a gas station, which is in the vicinity of the event. This video can then be quickly processed by the software (at a rate of about 10x) and then searched using the same query structure."

Like all fine jewelry, Carolyn Pollack Sterling Silver Jewelry should be handled carefully. Store jewelry in a plastic bag, dry and wrapped in tissue paper, when not being worn or displayed. Clean sterling silver with a silver polishing cloth when necessary, but never subject to chlorine, silver dips, chemical solutions or ultrasonic cleaners, as these substances can cause the genuine gemstones to discolor. Never wear jewelry in a swimming pool.

Judge denies Marin oyster company's bid to stay in business
Published: Tuesday, February 5, 2013 at 10:29 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, February 5, 2013 at 10:29 a.m.
A federal judge on Monday denied Drakes Bay Oyster Co.'s bid to remain in business, upholding Interior Secretary Ken Salazar's decision that shuttered the commercial shellfish operation on the Marin County coast.
Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers ruled that she lacked jurisdiction to review the decision by Salazar, who declined to renew a 40-year lease that gave oyster farm operator Kevin Lunny the right to operate in Drake's Estero.
The National Park Service, based on Salazar's decision, ordered Lunny to shut down the business by Feb. 28. The farm harvests 8 million oysters a year, worth about $1.5 million, from a 2,500-acre estuary designated as wilderness in the Point Reyes National Seashore.
Lunny filed suit contending that Salazar's order violated federal rules and was based on faulty science.
The judge, who heard oral arguments in her Oakland courtroom on Jan. 25, said that even if she had jurisdiction, Lunny's arguments were unlikely to prevail.
Wilderness advocates who sought removal of the oyster farm hailed the decision and said they hoped it will bring the divisive issue to an end.
"It's time that we all move on," said Neal Desai, pacific region associate director of the National Parks Conservation Association. "This decision was very clear and straightforward."
Desai said the decision "affirms that our national parks will be safe from privatization schemes" and that national seashore land owned by taxpayers "will now be protected as planned after 40 years of waiting."
Amy Trainer, executive director of the Environmental Action Committee of West Marin, said the court "rightly decided that Secretary Salazar had full discretion to let the oyster operation permit expire on its own terms and honor the 1976 wilderness designation for Drakes Estero."
The prolonged dispute pitted supporters of West Marin agriculture, who fear the loss of permits for onshore ranches in the national seashore, versus wilderness advocates who want all human activity removed from the estero.
Nancy Lunny deferred comment to representatives of Cause of Action, the Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit watchdog that represented the oyster farm for no charge. Amber Abbasi, an attorney for the group, said in an e-mail that she was disappointed with the ruling.
"Without this injunction, not only will a small business close, but families will be forced out of their homes, and the community will lose a sustainable farming resource," Abbasi said.
The Lunnys are "weighing their options for next steps and will make their decision known in the coming days," Abbasi said.
The oyster company was seeking a court order postponing the closure until the legal case was resolved.
Among its arguments, the company cited the prospect of immediate and irreparable financial harm to the operation and its 31 full-time employees.
The judge acknowledged that the company and its workers "will suffer significant costs," including loss of jobs.
"The close of any business frequently brings hardship," Rogers said in a 31-page decision.
She also noted the Lunnys knew, upon buying the oyster farm in 2004, that the Park Service did not intend to renew their permit. The family's expressed hope for an extension was not "based upon any assurances by the decisionmakers themselves," the judge wrote.
Rogers also dismissed the Lunnys' contention that Salazar's decision was based on bad science, an issue that inflamed the yearslong debate over the oyster company's future.
"At best, the record before the court is mixed with competing expert declarations . . . and cannot be resolved at this stage," the judge said.
In summary, she said the oyster farm "cannot establish that the Secretary's refusal to issue the (permit) was arbitrary, capricious, an abuse of discretion, or otherwise not in accordance with law such that they would ultimately be successful on the merits of their claim."

The Buffaloes have not been a very good team in the Pac-12 through history, but in recent years they have really come on strong. The team had not made an NCAA Tournament appearance before last season since 2003, so head coach Tad Boyle was very pleased with his team. The team was on the verge of making the NCAA Tournament, but there win in the Pac 12 title game made them a lock. They were placed as a #11 seed, and upset first round opponent UNLV by four points. However, they fell short in the Round of 32 to a very good Baylor Bears team.
This season the Buffaloes will be led by Andre Roberson, who averaged a double-double last season. It is the first time since the 2002 season that the Buffaloes will have more than one player coming in from the Rivals Top 150. They are raking in Josh Scott and Xavier Johnson, who should help the Buffaloes make a push for their second Pac 12 title in a row. The Buffaloes are coached by Tad Boyle at the Coors Events Center in Boulder, Colorado. It is here that the likes of Alec Burks and Chauncey Billups have made the Buffalo nation proud. This season the Buffaloes plan to shock the nation and Pac 12 powerhouse teams such as Washington and Arizona and be a top the conference!
Gold Coast Tickets does not want you to miss out on the action as the Buffaloes try and make it back to the NCAA Tournament for back-to-back years, something they have not done since the 1962 and 1963 seasons. Gold Coast Tickets has the best selection for your entire 2012-2013 college basketball season needs!

well I seem to have the same problem. Now I'm at lost what else could cause this annoying rattle when the bass is up. My right side plays crystal clear but the other side sound like some cheap fisher speakers lol......:cheesygrin: I read it could be loose screws well I took them out and put them back in...still same. Other than that they sound like I'm at a live concert :)

|Diamond Hawks 41st In Attendance
By Tom Riordan (firstname.lastname@example.com / @triordan14 / @uncwbaseball)
With the weather turning to what is expected in Wilmington during baseball season, one can only look forward to enjoying Seahawk baseball games in 75 degree weather and sunny skies instead of the cold weather that has dominated early this spring. But that hasn't deterred Diamond Hawk fans this season as UNCW is ranked 41st nationally in total attendance in the most recent NCAA Division I Baseball Attendance report.
"Our fans have been outstanding despite the inclement weather we've had to play in up to this point," said UNCW Head Coach Mark Scalf. "Our players and coaching staff certainly appreciate the dedication and support we get at Brooks Field from all our fans."
Through 22 dates, the Seahawks have drawn 24,152 fans or 1,114 per game. Last weekend over 1,800 fans came out to watch the Seahawks win their weekend series with Davidson and run their record to 19-6 at Brooks Field. On Sunday, more than 1,000 spectators enjoyed the sun-drenched day and helped the local Miracle League generate almost $2,000 which will go towards the completion of a field for special needs baseball players in New Hanover County.
Earlier in the week, Brooks Field drew its third largest crowd since 1999 when 3,285 baseball fans watched the Seahawks and top-ranked North Carolina battle in a mid-week non-conference tilt.
Breaking the 1,000 mark has been a common occurrence this season. The Seahawks have topped that mark 12 times already, eclipsing the previous mark of 11 set in 2011. UNCW saw at least 1,000 people come through the turnstiles eight times in 2012.
Just three other non-BCS level schools are in the top-44 on the list. Wichita State ranks 24th (42,924), Cal State Fullerton is 32nd (30,954) and Georgia Southern ranks 39th with a total of 25,783.
In North Carolina, UNCW ranks third behind East Carolina (20th, 53,832 in 22 dates) and NC State (29th, 35,862 in 22 dates).
The Seahawks host Delaware this weekend in a three-game series between the top two teams in the Colonial Athletic Association. The two met in the 2012 CAA Championship, with the Seahawks winning their third title overall and second against the Blue Hens.

Budget Accommodation Asia Thailand Bangkok
In Thai, Bangkok is known as the "City of Angels", a name which may be a little misguided. Bangkok is the capital and largest city of Thailand, a magnetic and impressive city with many attractions for travellers. Bangkok offers a snap-shot of the cultural makeup of Thailand, since it is inhabited by people from throughout the country.

So where are you finding them these days?

Let me know what you are using these days.
Looked on ebay, partsexpress, dedicatedaudio, amazon and a few others and just not seeing what I want.
Myesound or meniscus audio like spikes is what I prefer, just raw brass spikes.

Do not buy this!! Pioneer is sending out junk! (April 15, 2012)

Reviewed By: Bruce N. - Clarksville, MD
This Elite Music Tap is totally worthless as a network music player. I have had it for 6 months now Wired or wireless connections does not matter. It will freeze up in the middle of a playlist. This will require a 3 minute start up. The unit drops pieces of songs when using AirPlay with an IPad If you just want to plug your IPod or iPhone into the dock you have spent a lot of money for this function. Macworld has recently reviewed this and also noted the freezing issues. There is no fix for these problems. Pioneer is knowingly shipping these units with defective components. They are totally obtuse to my complaints Do not expect this Music Tap to work to any degree as a network music player. Anybody who likes this unit must not be trying to use the network capabilities.

This is a good product and sound quality is great. For the price compare to BOSE it is excellent to own. The Cons - this unit does not have HDMI port on the back as shown in the photos, I called Pioneer and they also confirmed it does not come with it and their web site also shown wrong info. The HDMI with DVD model sold in Japan per Pioneer info. Other thing is during USB source play - you can not fast forward the song only advance to next track - that is bad and Pioneer should fix-it via firmware. I kept this unit because the features are excellent..

Orange County Public Schools Building Projects Move Forward
January 9, 2013 | WMFE- The Orange County school district is pressing ahead with 12 school construction projects over the next academic year. Public school building and repairs are keeping local contractors busy during the sluggish economic recovery.
The list of projects includes repairs and replacements at old campuses like Eccleston Elementary which is being torn down and completely rebuilt.
Bob Lipscomb from the Williams Company which is in charge of the project, says Orange County has more public school building projects than other counties in Florida.
"So for us, for the local companies like ourselves- our company's been here since the 1920s, we've been around a long time- it's a big plus for the local general contractors here,"says Lipscomb.
He says the Eccleston project is providing about 250 direct construction jobs.
Orange County Public Schools funds its building program through a half penny sales tax approved in 2002.
Lipscomb says he'd like to see that tax renewed when it expires in 2015.
