Essential Resources: A big collection of sites and services for accessing data
This is part of a series of posts to share with readers a useful collection of some of the most important, effective and practical data visualisation resources.
This post presents a collection of key sites that provide data, whether through curated collections, offering access under the Open Data movement or through Software/Data-as-a-Service platforms. Please note, I may not have personally used all the services, sites or tools presented but have seen sufficient evidence of their value from other sources. Also, to avoid re-inventing the wheel, descriptive text may have been reproduced from the native websites for many resources.
You will see there is a prominence of US and UK based sites and services. This is simply because they are the most visible, most talked about, most shared and/or useful resources on my radar. I will keep updating this site to include as many other finds and suggestions as possible, extending (ideally) around the world.
Government and NGOs
Data.gov: "As a priority Open Government Initiative for President Obama's administration, Data.gov increases the ability of the public to easily find, download, and use datasets that are generated and held by the US Federal Government."
Data.gov.uk: "The Government is releasing public data to help people understand how government works and how policies are made. Some of this data is already available, but data.gov.uk brings it together in one searchable website. Making this data easily available means it will be easier for people to make decisions and suggestions about government policies based on detailed information."
Data.gov.au: "Data.gov.au provides an easy way to find, access and reuse public datasets from the Australian Government. We encourage you to use government data to analyse, mashup and develop tools and applications which benefit all Australians."

FitzVogt new foodservice provider for Wingate Healthcare
FEBRUARY 12—Fitz, Vogt & Associates is the new foodservice provider for Wingate Healthcare in Needham, Mass. Wingate Healthcare operates 17 nursing homes, two brain trauma centers and one assisted living residence in Massachusetts and eastern New York.
Jim Hecker, president and COO of FitzVogt said that many changes are in store for the facilities but said staff training, cost control and menu management are major areas of focus for the management company.
A short-term goal is to get a community dining program running, Hecker said. The community dining program replaces the need for a central trayline because steam tables are brought to individual floors. "Typically there are no trays," Hecker said. "It will be more personable, we can control portions better and have an increased level of service." Hecker hopes to have the program operational in March.
John Dipietro, senior regional director of operations, and Ken Byers, vice president of operations, will oversee the Wingate account for FitzVoyt. Leo Martin, Wingate's former corporate director of food service, will act as the point person for the account and manage nine residences.

Kidderminster poker champ admits murdering wife (From Worcester News)
Get involved! Send your photos, video, news & views by texting WN NEWS to 80360 or e-mail us
Marcus Bebb-Jones pleads guilty to murder
Updated 6:30pm Tuesday 19th February 2013 in News By James Connell
A POKER champion from Kidderminster has admitted murdering his wife in America 16 years ago, court officials have confirmed.
Marcus Bebb-Jones pleaded guilty to murdering his wife Sabrina in 1997 before dumping her body in a Colorado national park.
The couple owned the Melrose Hotel in Grand Junction, Colorado, when Mrs Bebb-Jones disappeared.
Her skull was found in 2004 in a national park near Douglas Pass in north-west Colorado.
Professional gambler Bebb-Jones was arrested in 2009 in a raid at his home in Kidderminster amid accusations he went on to spend thousands of dollars on her credit cards before botching a suicide bid.
The 49-year-old lost his appeal against extradition to the US in 2011.
On Friday, at a hearing in the 9th Judicial District Court in Glenwood Springs, Colorado, Bebb-Jones admitted the murder, officials said.

COLBERT, OK --- Chris Roberts is not your average high school baseball player. He can field, hit, pitch and catch but there is one thing he can't do...he can't hear."We found out when he was 18 months old and he's worn hearing aids from then on," Chris' mother, Susan Roberts said.
Chris can only hear 30 percent out of one ear but that doesn't stop him from giving 100 percent on the baseball field."There's a lot of people that I know that wouldn't have put in the effort that he has. He's overcome a lot and you wouldn't even know that Chris has any sort of hearing problem at all," Lance Britt, Colbert's head baseball coach said. "He works at it. Not just here but at school but all day long. He hits a ball all day at home. He gets outside with his brothers and hits the ball and catches the ball. That's all he does. He goes to school, he comes home, and plays ball. That's all he's ever known," Susan Roberts said.Chris has been playing baseball since he was five years old. He is now a freshman at Colbert High School and an intrical part of the baseball program. "He brings laughs to the team. You can joke around with him and he'll joke right back with you. He's never in a bad mood.He's always fun to be around. He really adapts well. He knows the game of baseball really well. And that's something that's really good to see from a freshman; how good he know he knows the game," Chris' teammate Cade Carter said.
"He's a comedian and he's a good player too. He's a good short stop and a very good pitcher," Chris' teammate Colten Bruce said.
"Chris is a really good athlete. Chris is one of those kids that can play anywhere. I can put him at about any spot on the field and he will succeed. He's a gifted baseball player and I'm looking forward to working with him the next few years," Coach Britt said.Having a hearing deficiency hasn't interfered with Chris achieving his dreams."What do you want to do when you grow up?"
"Baseball player," Chris said.Chris is close to leading as normal of a life as possible. Thanks to the support of his coaches, teammates and especially his family."Whether he can hear me or not, he knows that I'm there and that I'm cheering him on," Susan Roberts said.

REDMAG SSD Cards Will Have a Dramatic Price Drop Very Soon
RED just recently announced a significant firmware update, and in what will surely be music to the ears of many, according to Jarred Land of RED, the costs for their raw stock of SSDs has gone down dramatically. Therefore they will be lowering the prices across the board for REDMAGs. Since RED uses proprietary firmware and housings with their drives (unlike say Blackmagic with their Cinema Camera), the only choice EPIC and SCARLET owners have is to use RED-branded media. But when are they coming and how much will the price drop be?
In a recent REDUser posting, Jarred detailed the new prices (which includes a new addition, the 512GB card). These cards will all hit the RED website on July 17th.
- 64Gb – $725 vs. $950
- 128GB – $1250 vs. $1800
- 256GB – $2450 vs.$3200
Jarred also had this to say about pricing:
Market pricing can be a dangerous game to play… sometimes things don't make sense. Shortages or overages can dramatically change pricing on some chips and not others overnight. Moores law gets a bit twisted. I guess I should go back and say " Temporary" price reduction on the original post.
I'm sure many would hope that they are not just temporary, and are, in fact, permanent price reductions. RED has also been working on lower-priced 32GB cards that were announced at NAB and are specifically designed for SCARLET users — but they aren't ready for prime-time yet. The 512GB cards mentioned above are a new class that RED is calling Turbo cards, and these red RED cards (yes they're actually red) will allow for faster offload times and lower compression at higher frame rates (which I'm sure many data wranglers/DITs would be happy to hear). As of right now the 512GB card is the only one that has been given Turbo classification, but here are the specs on those new cards vs. the standard black ones:
- Turbo REDMAG Build 3.3 5K WS vs. Original REDMAG for 5K WS
- 24 – 3:1 vs. 24 – 3:1
- 30 – 3:1 vs. 30 – 3:1
- 48 – 5:1 vs. 48 – 5:1
- 60 – 6:1 vs. 60 – 6:1
- 96 – 9:1 vs. 96 – 10:1
- 120 – 11:1 vs. 120 – 12:1
Here is a photo of a pack of the new 512GB Turbo cards:
At some point all of these cards might also be available in lower price form as part of the bundles that RED sells. If so, that might also mean that there will be even more of a discount per GB. If you're looking at the best bang for the buck, the 512GB card is actually only $7.60 per gigabyte, as compared to a little over $9 and as much as $11 for the others.
Though all of these might seem incredibly overpriced, if you look at other companies, like Sony for example, a 64GB card is $1400 vs. $725 for the equivalent REDMAG – though the Panasonic P2 cards are right around the price of the RED media (assuming you're still using a Panasonic camera that requires those).
So RED owners, will you be filling up your cart with new RED media on the 17th?

Crucial M4 512GB SSD: $398 for BMCC or Ninja etc.
Transcend 400X 64GB CF: $117 for C300
Wow that RED footage better be timeless and poetic for that premium. The Zacuto shootout results will be interesting.
Joe Marine on 07.8.12 @ 11:52PM
Honestly if you're shooting on an F3 or an Alexa you're in no better shape unless you record all externally, and that has its own costs and considerations. What could be interesting is if you decided not to shoot RAW with a RED SCARLET or EPIC, you can get the full clean 1080p out of the HD-SDI, and it might actually be comparable to a log profile on the F3 or Alexa (but I haven't recorded that so I don't actually know the quality). So you could treat it like a non-RAW camera when you don't want RAW and save some money – but I'm sure the debayering is much better in post than it is in the camera.
Peter on 07.9.12 @ 12:43AM
How hard is a Bayer filter to get right though? You have, say, a dozen adjacent sensor readings of different colors, and from those you want to determine the best color value of a given pixel. How much better can you do that in post vs. in realtime? Really? If you do it poorly in realtime, I wonder whether you spent more than a hungover morning on it.
Downsampling, noise reduction, and compression I grant you are complex subjects. But Bayer filters? Look up the appropriate math and implement it.
Eason on 07.9.12 @ 12:56AM
It's actually not hard at all to get raw bayer data onto a ssd, heck its not hard to record raw data of any sort, it's actually the easiest since it's in it's simplest form. If you lack the bandwith to record raw data… Well add a raid, it's seriously not that hard. The problem is, no company wants to make it cheaper. Why would they?
It's like how there really isn't a HDD shortage anymore but our prices aren't dropping. Just how business is done, not something we should be surprised about.
Joe Marine on 07.9.12 @ 2:19AM
Well I meant both of those combined – debayer plus downsample – since you're going from 5K or 4K to 1080. I don't know what the quality would be compared to the same file created in post and downsampled to 1080, people may have already done these tests, but it wasn't that long ago that you couldn't get a full 1080 out of EPIC or SCARLET.
If it was that easy you'd think they would have implemented it as an option in the camera – but I don't believe it's that easy. Just like video playback, it took Sony and RED a long time to implement playback in the camera. Same with deleting clips – some argue why you'd ever want to do it in the camera anyway, but even the F65 does not allow deleting clips in the camera. These cameras are a whole different animal when it comes to everything we take for granted on regular cameras.
It very well could yield exactly the same results, but I just don't know, I don't have one at the moment to test that.
Eason on 07.9.12 @ 3:03AM
Ah yes, playback is an entirely different story, quite honestly, the RED is very under powered processing wise. There's been plenty of demos of low powered computer processors (netbook size) that definitely fit the RED's power envelope that could handle these tasks ( I believe XIMEA has an demo unit). Either way, I'm just throwing my 2 cents… I'm a high school student with a dslr, this high end stuff is just for me to look at….
Give me anything above a t2i and I would be a VERY happy camper.
The redmag pricing is still leaving me befuddled though… Guess that's just high end.
Ryan on 07.9.12 @ 1:39AM
Its great to see that companies have become so responsive, they are plugging every hole that the customer brings up, canon excluded. Red has responded to the criticism of overpriced media and they have an interesting opportunity to react to the frame rates of the fs700 with the dragon sensor upgrade for scarlets. Can't wait to see the competition unfold.
Agent55 on 07.9.12 @ 2:28AM
Great to hear, been dragging my feet on another SSD, this is perfect timing for me.
How do REDMAGs hold up in terms of corruption? With my DSLRs, I avoid using anything over 16GB cards for recording since there's always the potential for cards to corrupt – better to lose only a fraction of footage if it's unrecoverable than the entire day's work.
Andreas Kopriva on 07.9.12 @ 4:20AM
According to RED, one of the main reasons that their media is overpriced is due to the stress testing they put it through to ensure that it remains reliable under pretty much any conditions. Personally, I haven't had any failures with the two cards I've got (one 64 and one 128), and according to the Scarlet's log, I've shot around 60 hours with it.
I haven't heard of anyone who's had a Redmag fail on them either. Considering that the reduser community is pretty vocal about errors and flaws, they appear to be pretty reliable so far.
Lliam Worthington on 07.9.12 @ 10:39AM
Great news for everyone. Bit bummed I already have bought my quota these past few months though. Would have saved quite a lot.
Pricing like this is the reason the company I worked for bought into FCP 1 around the year 2000. Avid wanted many multiples of the going market price for hard drives with their firmware ($2500 for a 40GB Avid drive at the time, I think) but Apple didn't care what you used. SSDs are now commodity items under $1/GB, and I don't see how charging 10x the going rate is justifiable.
sammy on 07.11.12 @ 5:18PM
Yeah $1 a GB is the going rate…RED has gone proprietary codecs and media.
So you suffer the price.
What was once the cheapest systems in 2008 is now
one of the very highest.
Gabe on 07.12.12 @ 7:43PM
Compared with what? Alexa+Codex or an F65? You gotta be joking…

If you to stick with the ~$400-600 range, the Samyang 35mm, Canon 50mm f/1.4 (or if you can stand the tiny focus ring 50mm f/1.8 for $100), 85mm f/1.8, 40mm f/2.8, 35mm f/2.0, 24mm f/2.8 would all be good lenses. They are also all EF mounts, so they'll work on a FF if you want to move up to that from a crop sensor later on.
As fantastic a value for money as the 50mm f/1.8 is, I can't recommend it for video. The focus is just too fiddly. Tension on the focus ring is nonexistent in MF and tiny movements have very large effects on focus. To be honest even in photography situations, with magnified live view, it takes a lot of very delicate tweaking to get the focus just right.
As for the Samyang 35mm I don't own it myself but the video I've seen from it looks great, and of course its primary drawback--the lack of autofocus--is a complete non-issue for video.

Keeping warm and safe can be a bit of a challenge, especially when we don't turn on the furnace much or use the fireplace that often.
Matt Goode, the owner and operator of The Chimney Guy, explains inspections and cleanings are a must if you plan on burning anything in your home.
"The week before Thanksgiving and Christmas are the busiest times for us, but when it gets this cold, phone calls start to pick up," said Goode.
The Chimney Guy has worked around Tybee for more than fifteen years, and he says the key is planning ahead.
Goode explains that it's not a great feeling to tell someone they can't use their means of keeping warm, but it's better than potentially harming them and their family.
"We get in a home, and sometimes I have bad news before Christmas, and they're waiting for relatives to get into town to use the fireplace, but it's better to have bad news than not to know at all," said Goode.
Matt Becker works with Goode and agrees.
"So what people end up running into a lot is they have us coming out to take a look at them and clean them, and we end up saying, 'this doesn't comply with any modern day fire codes,'" said Becker.
Those codes make it important in hiring someone who's certified at cleaning a chimney.
"Have proven that they've learned all the codes and methods of cleaning, so you can know there's a problem when you look at it," said Goode.
The methods of cleaning haven't changed much in the centuries of sweeping. Other than the vacuum, it's the same bristled brushes, similar black attire and the age old question that never gets old: Is this gonna be good for Santa to come down?
Becker said he gets a lot of those questions and of course if he's going to pop up in the chimney itself like Mary Poppins.
"We don't get in there," said Becker. "But it is hands on, and one of the last real trades, like masonry."
Animals get down into the chimneys all the time, and Goode says he's a self taught animal rescuer.
It took him a couple years, but he says the trick to saving squirrels is as simple as dropping in a rope, and they climb it out since they can't grip the brick.
Once, he once came across an owl. He needed some more expertise, so he called Oatland Island.
It turned out that it was one of their owls and they came to save the day and take the bird home.

The Greenville Police Department released two new pictures Friday they hope will lead to clues into the murder of 16-year-old Alicia Moore. The pictures show a dark-colored Chrysler or Dodge vehicle, possibly a minivan, directly behind the bus as Alicia Moore got off of it on Nov. 2 at about 3:25 p.m. Moore went missing after she got off of the school bus at the intersection of Walnut Street and Bourland Street. The school bus was headed north toward Graham Park. Greenville police are asking the person or persons in the vehicle to contact them at 903-457-2900 as potential witnesses.

Where To Purchase An Infrared Sauna?
Are you looking around on the internet to purchase an infrared sauna, well you're not alone. Even though a lot of saunas look almost the same in pictures but there are significant differences depending where you purchase it from. There are saunas made in USA and Canada, but mostly they are made in Asia particularly China.
The first thing to consider when you are looking to purchase an infra red sauna is if the company selling it is a reputable one. Companies selling saunas can be a dealer or they may be the manufacturer themselves. If you are buying from a dealer find out if they're selling different brands or just specializing in one brand. Normally dealers who specialize in one brand will have better knowledge on that particular brand.
Another important thing to consider is if the dealers had established good relationship with the manufacturers. So, if down the road you have any issues with the sauna you can go through the dealer instead of going direct to the manufacturers. Especially if the manufacturers are overseas you want to have a dealer who can provide you the customer service when needed.
That being said, you have to make sure that the dealer or manufacturer provide good warranty for the saunas they're selling. Due to the cost of replacing a heater you want at least a five years or life time warranty on the heater of the sauna. Besides that, you also want to get warranty on the wiring because if the wiring goes out the sauna will pretty much become useless.
Also find out if you have to replace parts in the future will the dealer be able to provide you the service or do you have to purchase direct from the manufacturer. Considering if your sauna is manufactured oversea you wouldn't want to deal with shipping parts from oversea direct from the manufacturer.
So when you are deciding where to purchase your infrared sauna do make sure you are buying from a reputable seller. After doing some research I found a company that has good customer service, provides lifetime warranty on wood components, heating elements and electrical components.

The Bison came out fired up after an hour-long lightning delay, jumping out for 28 second-half points at Milander Park.
Immanuel Pierre rushed for a pair of touchdowns for Reagan (1-1) and linebacker Shawn Curtis scored on a blocked punt and set up another score with a fake punt.
The Bison defense also did its job, holding the Gators (0-2) to 11 yards of total offense.

Struggles make triathlete Hunter Kemper refocus priorities
Triathlete Hunter Kemper finished 14th on Tuesday in the London 2012 men's triathlon, becoming the top American men's finisher in all four Olympic games since the triathlon made its debut 12 years ago. He covered the 1,500-meter swim, 43-kilometer bike, 10-kilometer run course in 1 hour, 48 minutes, 46 seconds. He was seventh in 2008 in Beijing, ninth in 2004 in Athens and 17th in 2000 in Sydney. Our story on Kemper was published in the Vol. 26, No. 3 issue of Sports Spectrum magazine… Continue reading

Two weeks ago, he was no longer a Phillie.
Last night, he was a Phillie again.
Today, well, not so much.
Phillies official says that report on Michael Martinez signing is false— Kevin Cooney (@KevinCooney) October 18, 2013
As Twitter and Facebook and Tumblr and Google Chat and carrier pigeons with index cards in their mouths spread word of Martinez' re-signing last night, Phils fans turned apoplectic.
They couldn't figure out why Ruben Amaro would want a career .187/.234/.261 hitter who can play multiple positions no better than adequately back on the roster from which he was just removed, and why he has continued to reappear again and again and again and again in Philadelphia.
Alas, it has turned out to be for nothing. But I mean, you could understand why the Phils would want to pounce on Martinez so quickly, given the robust market he is sure to attract.
And why all the outrage for poor 'lil Mr. Martinez? I mean, did he really have anything to do with the disaster of the Phils' 2013 season? By the time he came up, the nuclear bomb had already gone off. All he did was suck in some of the radiation poisoning.
However, rest not on your laurels, Phils fans. There is still time. He could still come back.
In fact, you EXPECT him to come back now, don't you? You weren't at ALL surprised at that erroneous rumor last night, were you?
It seemed perfectly logical to you that Ruben Amaro would re-sign Martinez, just weeks after dropping him from the 40 man roster. Because even though Martinez is nothing more than AAA fodder, you know that he will eventually return to Citizens Bank Park were he to actually be re-signed, while similarly unskilled players like Steve Susdorf get seven Major League at bats and then are never heard from again.
Michael Martinez has come to the plate 396 times in actual Major League baseball games, with real, live pitchers and everything.
It's amazing how baseball can be so unkind to some, and overly generous to others.
Even though Martinez and his presence in the organization likely has no effect on the wins and losses the team will accrue next year, it's still welcome news he isn't coming back.
At least... not until the next solitary tweet that confirms he's signed a three-year deal.

The New York Jets will take on the Washington Redskins on the road in Week 13, both teams coming off wins in Week 12 and looking to build some confidence in their embattled quarterbacks. Only one of these teams has a legitimate chance at the playoffs, though, and our partners at Odds Shark have them as three-point favorites.
Fresh off a huge comeback win over the struggling Buffalo Bills, the Jets need every win they can get. Though it's wildly irresponsible to bet against Sexy Rex Grossman when he gets on one of his rolls, the Jets' defense has had its best games picking on weaker quarterbacks — like the 32-3 victory over the Jaguars earlier in the season that saw Luke McCown benched partway through.
On the other hand, it's never been fun for gamblers to put their money down on Mark Sanchez, and the Redskins defense has played admirably while their offense ground to a halt under the stewardship of John Beck. LaDanian Tomlinson may not return for the Jets, though Shonn Greene will again play through his bruised ribs, so the running game should be solid enough in support of Sanchez.

For Metamora mom Toni Randall, "the early bird gets the worm" are words to live by.
"Get it done, and you avoid the rush," she said. "The selection is still there."
So Friday, she and her daughters Jacqueline, 11, and Ellie, 8 got a July jump on school supply shopping.
As always math-- meaning money-- is key.
"I use coupons," she said. "I definitely look at what's in the add. I keep an eye on it."
Same story for Peoria dad Frederick Magon, who is using a day off to help his daughters stock up.
"I mean a lot of places, they have already started their sales. So, just go ahead and start getting supplies. Take advantage of the time," he said.
And economic experts say while budgets are tight, Americans are prepared to spend a little more in 2012.
A recent survey from the National Retail Federation estimates parents will pay an average of almost $700 this back to school season, including clothes and electronics.
That's up 14% from last year.
Managers at Peoria's Target say they see it already, in the empty shelves.
"We absolutely have lots of guests coming in looking for it early on," said Travis Ritchart. "It seems like we'll get a lot of one thing one day, and the very next day, it's sold out."
And while parents and kids may disagree on what's needed for a successful year, say a new calculator versus...
"I really like getting like the locker stuff," said 13 year-old Maggie Scooler. "I really like decorating my locker and everything."
They can agree it's a shopping trip that needs to happen soon, as most local schools are set to start within a few weeks.

As talking heads continue racing to declare a winner of a trade that can't become official for another two weeks, I prefer to go in a different direction. Much like we must wait at least two years before attempting to reach a verdict on a team's draft, I think only time will tell whether the Niners or Chiefs benefitted more from San Francisco sending Alex Smith to Kansas City in exchange for the 34th overall pick in 2013 and a conditional 2014 pick.
Thus, instead of trying to predict the future, here are three immediate takeaways from the first major chip to fall this NFL offseason:
• The rich certainly got richer by the Bay, where the Niners could have an astounding 15 picks (once compensatory picks are announced) in this April's draft. Any decent GM in the league should find a stud or two with that type of ammunition; can you imagine what Trent Baalke, with his recent draft success, will do? When taking into account that his club is likely the most talented in football from 1-to-53, don't be surprised if/when Baalke leverages this year's picks (in an underwhelming draft, no less) to continue stockpiling picks for the future. Of course, that motherlode of 2013 picks also gives Baalke enough trade bait to potentially entice the Jets to send disgruntled Darrelle Revis cross country, or 31 other NFL teams to consider moving down if the Niners have their sights set on any particular player in this year's draft.
Lest we forget, however, that the Niners are now one major shot to Colin Kaepernick away from Scott Tolzien, the 2011 undrafted free agent who has never dressed on a Sunday in his short career. San Francisco might like Tolzien, but I would be stunned if it didn't seek an upgraded contingency plan behind Kaepernick, who, despite being built like a horse, is more susceptible to injury than a classic dropback passer. The Niners had the NFL's most athletic one-two punch under center prior this trade, with Smith's size and speed giving San Francisco some continuity in its innovative, read-option scheme if Kaepernick went down. Tolzien's greatest assets are his intangibles; his athleticism is average at best. It will be fascinating to see if the Niners place greater value on acquiring a mobile backup for their young phenom, Kaepernick.
• The Chiefs were desperate for a QB. Smith was the best option available. If he leads Kansas City to a Super Bowl, the trade compensation will be considered peanuts. However, I believe Andy Reid the quarterback developer will face as much if not more pressure because of this deal than Reid the roster architect. Again, the Chiefs needed a solution, and they found a swift, sensible one in Smith. But what if the former top pick, who spent the first five years of his career toiling in mediocrity under a variety of coordinators before a renaissance under Jim Harbaugh, goes back to being an underachiever? Harbaugh's first two NFL seasons rank among the most successful ever by an NFL head coach. Reid, despite a long, highly respectable run in Philly, hit some major lows in the past two seasons. I'm not predicting this will happen — Reid has built his career on getting more than most could out of his triggermen — but Harbaugh's immediate success doesn't exactly buy Reid extra time.
Of course, what made this deal so logical in the first place is that Smith has the ideal skill set for Reid's West Coast attack. Another under-the-radar perk for the Chiefs, who should absolutely still have designs on acquiring another signalcaller for Reid to develop, is knowing that Smith has thick skin. He was a good soldier when the Niners drafted Kaepernick. He was as selfless as they come when it became clear Kaepernick could sit no longer. It remains to be seen if Smith can take the Chiefs to the Super Bowl, but we already know what kind of teammate he will be — regardless of the circumstances.
• With Kansas City now believing it is set under center for the next few seasons, the likelihood of the Chiefs spending the first overall pick on a QB in a draft devoid of elite QB prospects is slim to none. That puts the NFL's other 2-14 team a season ago, the Jaguars, in the driver's seat with the second pick. And with an ESPN report surfacing Wednesday that the Raiders have real interest in West Virginia's Geno Smith at No. 3, a pair of still-green decision makers starved for QB reinforcements, Jacksonville's Dave Caldwell and Oakland's Reggie McKenzie, find themselves in a raging inferno. Add the Jets' John Idzick and Arizona's Steve Keim to the fray of first-time GMs looking to fill the most important position on the field, as well as first-time head coaches, Cleveland's Rob Chudzinski and Buffalo's Doug Marrone, and we could learn a lot in a hurry about the direction of these franchises.
Something tells me that the front-office execs and head coaches who show the most restraint in a year with no sure things are the ones who will make out the best. We already knew the QB market, both draft and free agency, was underwhelming. But with Smith off the table, are teams suddenly more willing to give up more for Matt Flynn? Matt Moore? Drew Stanton? Ryan Mallet? Rest assured, more than one team is going to reach on a QB. If you thought the Chiefs acted out of desperation, chances are you ain't seen nothing yet.

Jays back in first place
OMAHA, Neb. -- Doug McDermott had five of Creighton's 15 three-pointers to finish with 29 points and 10 rebounds as the Bluejays returned home for the first time in 15 days with a 91-77 win over Missouri State on Wednesday night.
Austin Chatman turned in his first career double-double while directing Creighton's high-powered attack, tying his career-high with 14 points and adding 10 assists.
CU's win, coupled with Wichita State's loss on Tuesday, returns the Bluejays into a tie for first place in the MVC standings at 19-3 (8-2 MVC). Missouri State fell to 6-16 on the year and is 4-6 in Valley action.
Creighton controlled most of the first half, using a balanced scoring attack from long-range to build a 45-32 halftime lead. The Jays took the lead for good on a three-point play from Gregory Echenique to lead 10-7. The margin reached double-figures for the first time at 28-17 on a McDermott three-pointer, and an Avery Dingman trey just before the first half horn gave CU its largest lead in the first 20 minutes at 45-32.
McDermott had 11 points, five rebounds and three assists in a first half that saw eight different men score for CU. Gavin Thurman led the Bears with 14 points on 6-of-7 shooting in the opening 20 minutes.
Creighton's lead in the second half reached as large as 24 points before MSU whittled it down to 14 in the two minutes thanks to three-pointers by Marcus Marshall, Dorrian Williams and Michael Simpson.
The national leader in field goal percentage, Creighton shot 55.6 percent for the contest and were 53.6 percent from three-point range. CU also owned a 34-21 advantage on the glass and dished 24 assists on 30 baskets. In addition to McDermott (29) and Chatman (14), Ethan Wragge (15) and Grant Gibbs (10) also reached double-figures.
MSU was paced by 21 points from Thurman, who tied his career-best. Also in double-figures were Williams (14), Marshall (10) and Christian Kirk (10). Anthony Downing entered the contest with a streak of 10 straight games in double-figures end as he was limited to nine points on 2-of-9 shooting from the field. MSU shot 54.7 percent for the game and made 11-of-20 three-pointers, but it wasn't enough on a night where one of the nation's most efficient offenses was clicking on all cylinders.
Creighton remains at home for Saturday's 2:05 pm game vs. Bradley (13-9, 5-5 MVC).
NOTES: Missouri State played without leading rebounder Keith Pickens (4.6 rpg.), who was sidelined by injury ...Doug McDermott's 29 points give him 1,001 career points in home games at CenturyLink Center Omaha, and 1,908 career points in all venues ...Ethan Wragge became the fifth Creighton player to reach 200 career three-pointers by making five trifectas. he now has made 203 overall ...Gregory Echenique had two blocked shots, giving him 150 at Creighton. He also owned 94 swats in parts of two seasons at Rutgers ...Creighton snapped a two-game home losing streak to Missouri State ...Creighton has won 18 straight games vs. teams wearing red/scarlet/garnet/maroon/cardinal/crimson ...Doug McDermott became the nation's first player to 500 points this season and leads the country with 526 points ...Creighton improved to 17-0 when winning the rebound battle this season, while MSU droped to 0-14 when being outrebounded ...Creighton has won 100 straight games when scoring 70 or more points at home and 57 straight at all sites when scoring 90 or more ...Creighton has won 28 straight when tied or leading at half and 24 straight when tied or leading in rebounds.

So far I am pleased with my purchase. All the parts were included, also there was a quick start guide that was very clear and helped me set up the cameras. Everything seems to be working fine so far. It was very easy to set up.
This set was bought to monitor the area around my garage in the back yard and both cameras are able to transmit the distances that were advertised. One of the cameras is a good 350-400 feet away and the signal is still coming in strong to a room at the other side of our home.
A bonus was the audio portion of this camera system. (My other half might not think so). While we were deciding where we would point the camera I was able to watch the monitor inside the house where it would be set up and could direct him to raise, lower or turn the camera one way or the other for the best view. We will also be able to contact each other via the intercom system in the future should we need to.
We were looking at the cheaper model that did not transmit a live picture but this set went on sale during the holidays for just a little more money and we were able to get free shipping too. I like that we can use a SD card because with an older system that we had it was difficult to download and make a copy of a video that captured someone roaming around in our back yard one evening. With the SD card I can print out the best shot on my printer to show the neighbours and the police.
Barring any problems down the road and any difficulties with customer service like the other reviewer made comment about I would recommend this system to my friends.

We purchased this unit to replace an old camera and monitor for our foaling barn (where horses have their babies). It went up real easy, started work instantly when plugged in. My husband turned off the lights at barn that night and the night vision was great. The barn is metal, but cameras do not have to send signal through any metal walls, just the walls/windows of our house, there is a pretty clear shot to the monitor in my house, about 100' away. I did have the video feed through my TV for a while just to see if I could do it, but the monitor is good. I just have it rotate from one camera position to the other. Once in awhile it says looking for signal, but generally pops right back on. Worth the money. Also I can hear what is going on in the barn.

The cost was budget friendly and the Security system works Great. The cameras work really well even in the pitch dark. We live out in the country with not too many lights and you can see perfectly with the night vision. The Monitor is very clear. You can see all four cameras at once if you want and you can record only when there is motion. I highly recommend this Security System it's an Amazing Value- Great Price . Great Product.
I received my system last week and installed it this past weekend. It is the weatherproof system for outdoors. The cameras are wireless but they do have a power cord so be prepared to install near a power supply. The night vision feature is awesome. You can clearly see and hear on your monitor what the camera is picking up. I am very pleased with this camera system. I will be ordering an extra camera and a dome for my front porch today. Very easy to install. The manual is a breeze to follow and I was looking through the footage files easily by the end of the first day.

This product has stood up to my expectations. All items came in the box packed nicely and sealed in plastic. The cameras came programed already to connect wirelessly to the monitor, I didn't need to sync them, which saved on a lot of time and possible headache. The power cord that comes with the cameras is about 4-5 feet, and it needs to be plugged in for the cameras to work, so keep that in mind (an outlet needs to be close). The remote is simple, nothing special about it.
The monitor is really sleek and functional. You can view each camera on the whole screen or you can have the screen slit into four boxes that allows you to see all of the cameras. The picture quality is pretty good, for this product. Don't get me wrong, it's not HD or some crisp digital display, but is clear enough for you to know what you're looking at without second guessing. Also you can turn the volume up on the monitor, if you want to hear what's going on. The sound came through really good, and it was not choppy.
The night vision on the cameras is great, although at night time the camera appears to have a red glow around it. At first I though it was the IR, but then I recalled the IR is invisible to the naked eye. It's nothing to complain about, but something to just know, in case you're looking for stealth. The cameras are stationary and can't move electronically, but you can move it around manually. They come with the screws you need to mount them, and the install is pretty simple. Probably took me half hour to get everything up and running.
I recommend this for residential homes, and small businesses.

I did the research, read the reviews and took a chance. I am pleased with the unit. It is very easy to setup and just as easy to operate. Camera quality is good enough to give me updates on the animals and barn that I was concerned about. Night vision works well, as does the motion detect. One camera is 350' away behind a barn wall and I still get signal to the unit. I had to put the unit up higher to achieve that, but that was no problem. Two months of 24/7 operation and the only failure was the memory chip which I wanted to upgrade anyway. For the cost and ease of setup I would recommend this unit.
Wireless Digital Security System-LW2902,
I am enjoying my wireless security system. I made a very good selection.It is fun to be able to move my monitor to any room in my home and watch my home.
I bought this camera to monitor the front and back of my house. Easy set up, easy recording,good picture quality, day and night. I like the fact it goes to a SD card and not to a DVD. Easy to review and format. It does only record one camera at a time, but so far that has been more than adequate. Others have mentioned the remote is a bit flimsy, but I have had no problem with it. It would have been nice to have one a bit sturdier, but it works well. For the price it it the best deal that I have found... you will not be disappointed.
