We here at Security Director News would like to wish all of our sources and our readers very, very happy holidays. Thank you for a great year. We have enjoyed speaking with you about trends, successes and challenges. We've appreciated your comments on SDN articles and look forward to more of your feedback.
Here's hoping that 2014, along with the improving economy, will bring more security—along with more funding—to schools from K-12 to the university level, a decrease in organized retail crime due to all the great efforts out there, fewer risks at hospitals for both patients and staff and more technology to banks to protect customers and employees.
We believe the future of the physical security industry is in the greatest of hands, as evidenced by our new batch of "20 under 40" winners. They are dedicated and passionate about their roles.
The new year is looking bright.
It took 80 seconds for 18-year-old student Karl Halverson Pierson to enter Arapahoe High School on Dec. 13 in Centennial, Colo., and critically injure a fellow student.
At that one minute and 20 second mark, the heavily armed gunman knew that an armed guard was coming after him, and he fatally shot himself.
School officials and local law enforcement authorities say the fact that there was an armed guard at the 2,229-student school with 70 classrooms potentially saved many more lives.
Arapahoe is not far from Columbine, where in 1999, two students killed 12 fellow students and one teacher and injured 24 others.
What do you think? Are armed guards the answer?
Tomorrow, Dec. 14, marks the one-year anniversary of the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. Twenty young children and six adults were killed by a heavily armed gunman, who reportedly was mentally ill.
The mainstream media has been all over the story these days, following up on the devastated families' lives a year later, the mood of the town, the remembrances planned and so forth.
But an important fact I think needs to be pointed out is that since that tragic day, there have been 26 more school shootings in the United States. That's according to the organizations Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America and Mayors Against Illegal Guns. Even as I write this, I've been monitoring news reports about a gunman inside a high school in Centennial, Colo. Injuries were reported.
Over the past year, I have written numerous stories about what schools are doing to protect students and staff in the wake of Newtown. Many upgraded their security systems, some trained staff and children to "Run, Hide, Fight," a controversial approach. After Newtown, more than 450 state bills were introduced, ranging from measures to allow teachers to arm themselves or put armed guards in schools.
What hits home with me are the sentiments I heard from a number of my school security sources. Knee-jerk reactions don't work. Security at schools everywhere should have been in place long before Newtown and should continuously be revisited and upgraded when necessary. You don't have to be Fort Knox. Build relationships with local enforcement. And, above all, train, train, train.
We here at Security Director News send again our condolences to those whose lives were affected by the shootings a year ago tomorrow, hoping we won't have to hear about another similar event.
NORTHFORD, Conn.—I spent an enjoyable and very educational day here, Dec. 10, at Honeywell Life Safety HQ. The purpose for the visit was a briefing on Honeywell's efforts to expand its fire systems to include emergency communications, digital signage and outdoor audio.
Gamewell-FCI by Honeywell's new touch-screen fire alarm panel, which is designed to simplify operations for security directors and first responders, can make that happen, Honeywell leaders said.
Todd Reif, Honeywell Fire Systems president for the Americas, started the day off by outlining the evolution of the company's fire alarm systems. He started with the master box—those red and white pull-lever boxes you see on street corners and on the exterior of buildings, and which Honeywell still manufactures— I watched that in action during a tour of the massive factory—to its new, small, addressable system S3 Series Fire Alarm system that features an intuitive touch screen with icons resembling those on smartphones.
It is the first of its kind in the industry, Reif said.
Fire technology should also be able to deal with emergency notifications, bad weather warnings and "bad guys," he said. Once the technology is "harnessed and shaped," there are multiple opportunities for end users, including those in the retail, hospitality, small medical facilities and schools.
The company is trying to take the "Fear of the Fire Alarm" factor away from end users. Too often, with big, multi-button fire panels, people are scared to touch anything. "They say, 'What is going on? Who do I need to call? I don't want the fire trucks to roll if I press the wrong button or I just want to shut this up,' " said Brian Carlson, manager of strategic marketing for Gamewell-FCI. Those concerns come despite the fact the user had been trained in the system, but maybe that was a year or so ago.
It's the "floating finger syndrome," Carlson says. It usually takes someone two minutes from the time they get to the panel before they even push a button. He knows because he's visited hundreds of end users and studied them as they responded to an incident.
The S3 series features only eight buttons.
We heard two other great talks about mass notification and situational awareness that I will write about soon in more detail. So stay tuned….
The now 83-year-old nun, 64-year-old gardener and 58-year-old housepainter who were found guilty of breaching security at the Y-12 National Security Complex in Oak Ridge, Tenn., in July 2012 remain behind bars, awaiting sentencing.
The three peace demonstrators were found guilty last May on felony charges for cutting through a fence and defacing property at the maximum security uranium processing facility. Reportedly, they were undetected by the majority of the perimeter surveillance equipment, ground sensors, security guards and canine patrols.
A sabotage charge against each of them carries a maximum prison term of up to 20 years; the damaged property charge has a penalty of up to 10 years. Sentencing was initially scheduled for this fall but has since been rescheduled for Jan. 24.
Security experts have called the break-in the biggest security breach in the nation's atomic history. The Department of Energy investigated and released a special report on the facility's security failings, including inoperable security equipment, an inadequate security force, no timetables for the maintenance of security equipment, and lack of physical barriers. Previous studies said the problems had been present for 10 years, according to an article from Robert Lee Maril, sociology professor at East Carolina University.
And there's more about some other seemingly major Y-12 problems, regarding the construction of a new new facility to be built at Y-12.
Maril writes:
"In summary, the same two business entities, Bechtel Corporation and Babcock and Wilcox Company, tasked with security at Y-12, a security system breached by an octogenarian nun and two other senior citizens, are also the same two business enterprises in charge of the planning and design of the new facility, UPF, to be built at Y-12 (estimated total security costs at Y-12 at the time of the breach in 2012 were $150 million). To date, costs for the planning and design of UPF have risen in 2012 to $6.5 billion from approximately $1.1 billion in 2004. Several months after the security breach at Y-12, these same two corporations, Bechtel Corporation and Babcock and Wilcox Company, were named as the primary construction contractors for UPF at Y-12. At this time the NNSA refuses to provide taxpayers with the construction costs of the UPF until 2015."
Food for thought?
You can read more about how the break-in and its impact played out on www.securitydirectornews.com.
A Rockport, Mass., woman was arrested on a charge of disorderly conduct this week after called 911 to request that officers push her around a local mall.
The 35-year-old, complaining of a leg injury, asked mall security for a wheelchair. A guard pushed her to a store and then back to her car, according to a report in The Salem News. Once back her car, though, she apparently decided she wanted to do some more shopping and asked to be pushed back inside. Security declined, saying they were too busy to do so.
So what did she do? She called 911 "requesting that [police units] push her around the mall so she can shop," according the newspaper.
When police arrived and told her she can't call 911 for such "frivolous issues." She then called to request EMS transport.
Next she went "out of control." The police officer requested back-up, and the woman was taken into custody.
Really, really?
A police officer trying to stop a Black Friday shoplifter suspect was dragged—with his arm slammed in a car door—through a parking lot in Chicago? A store manager maced a customer? People were trampled at a Walmart over a $50 tablet?
I like to consider myself a savvy shopper. But you won't find me waiting in line on Thanksgiving night for supposed bargains. I didn't go near a store on the Friday or weekend after Thanksgiving. My son might disown me for that, but I'm just looking out for my own wellbeing.
Experts, such as Gene Smith of the Loss Prevention Foundation and Rich Mellor, VP for loss prevention at the National Retail Federation, tell me that all in all, the extended Black Friday events last week went well.
Retailers were prepared, they said. I believe them. But what can you do, as they noted, when customers are out of control? How can you prepare for feisty consumers fighting over a single piece of merchandise? A driver stabbing someone over a parking place?
And this was a good Black Friday experience, my experts say.
Most retailers do everything they can to protect their employees and customers, but they still need these Black Friday events in order to make money.
Store employees have been trained, fortunately. But maybe it's time for customers to be trained? Ha! Can we have screenings for customers to make sure they won't punch someone out over a Furby or Zoomer Dog or Nerf Rebelle Heartbreaker Bow Blaster?
If this was a relatively calm Black Friday, I wouldn't want to see a fierce one.
Schools in Newtown, Conn., deployed extra security Nov. 25 in preparation for the scheduled release of the report on last year's shooting that killed 20 children and six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary School.
That deployment included increased police presence at schools with help from neighboring towns' police forces, Interim Superintendent John Reed told parents in an email, according to a report from Reuters. "By supporting one another, we will work our way through these challenging circumstances," Reed said in the Reuters report. On Dec. 14, Adam Lanza, 20, shot and killed his mother, Nancy Lanza, at their Newtown home, and then went to Sandy Hook Elementary School, where he once attended, and killed 26 people before killing himself.
The official investigative report on the massacre had been expected much earlier, but was delayed a number of times. A Connecticut law passed earlier this year says that some evidence from the state's investigation will never be made available to the public, Reuters said. The law, passed in response to the shooting, prohibits the release of photographs, film, video and other visual images showing a homicide victim if they can "reasonably be expected to constitute an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy of the victim or the victim's surviving family members," Reuters reported.
In the aftermath of the shooting, a number of school security measures have been proposed and put in place, while many have gone by the wayside, experts say. You can read about that here.
I wrote recently about the "ram raid" phenomena. Every day, at least three retailers are subject to this "smash-and-grab" type of robbery were an SUV or pickup truck crashes into a storefront. Then the people in the vehicle jump out, steal merchandise amid the frenzy and escape to a waiting car.
Ram raids usually happen at convenience stores, pawn shops, jewelry stores and the like.
Well, here's a new twist, and I thank Rob Reiter, co-founder of the Storefront Safety Council, for calling it to my attention. As a pet lover, I am appalled.
A week ago in Chubbock, Idaho, someone smashed a car through the front doors of McKee's Pet, Garden and Feed Center and made off with four Pomeranian puppies—two purebreds and two mixes—according to the Idaho State Journal. The dogs are valued at $1,400 dollars. The structural damage to the store also will be costly, owner Jim McKee told the newspaper.
McKee, who has been in business since 1976, said he believes the perpetrators visited the store during the day, picked out the puppies they wanted and returned later that night or early the next morning to destructively and illegally retrieve them. The puppies have yet to be found.
If you're in the market for a Pomeranian, find one and the price seems too good to be true, think of Jim McKee.
The TSA has defended its behavior detection program, known as Screening Passengers by Observation Technique [SPOT], against a GAO report that recommends cutting $200 million in yearly funding for it.
TSA Administrator John Pistole, testifying before the House Homeland Security subcommittee on transportation, said eliminating the program would result in more traveler frustration, including "fewer passengers going through expedited screening, increased pat-downs, longer lines."
But some members of Congress said the money for SPOT would be better used elsewhere.
Some also questioned whether the program involved racial profiling. Pistole responded that "profiling has absolutely no place" in behavior detection, and allegations of profiling would be investigated thoroughly," according to a report in USA Today.
"It's not good law enforcement. It's not good security work, from our perspective. And it's not constitutional," Pistole said. "Anybody who is found to be profiling will be investigated and dealt with appropriately."
Trained TSA SPOT officers are on the lookout for "anomalous" or suspicious behavior. Those exhibiting anomalous behavior, such as perspiration, fidgeting and restlessness, are put through a more rigorous screening process.
Last year, the keynote speaker at our TechSec Solutions conference spoke about behavioral recognition. Lauren Stover, director of public safety, security and communications at Miami International Airport, had at that time trained more than 30,000 people in the behavioral recognition program that she learned in Israel. She had nothing but good things to say about the program, as did Ray Davalos, MIA's building systems manager and co-keynote speaker.
"She knows you can't replace people's intuition" with technology, Davalos said of Stover. You can read about that here.
Meanwhile, with the amount of challenges/problems TSA faces and the amount of time Pistole finds himself testifying before Congress these days, it's a wonder the agency gets anything done from the top down. And, I just read an article about plastic guns made by 3-D printers, virtually undetectable. When do you think Pistole will be on Capitol Hill again testifying about that?

Two Rossford schools could see some major renovations in the near future, but it all depends on the voters.
Public surveys were passed out for several months in Rossford, asking community members about possibly renovating Rossford's Eagle Point and Indian Hills elementary schools. Now, school leaders have decided to put a measure on the November ballot for voters to determine if they want to pay for proposed renovations.
Rebuilding the schools could cost taxpayers $35 million, but some parents think the updates are needed.
"I'm very excited because the school is an older building, so I think it's going to be a great new change for them," said Sonia Rodriguez, a Rossford parent.
One of the big things that Rossford students are looking forward to in the possible new buildings is air conditioning.
"It's usually pretty hot in there because it's not much air conditioning," said student Jacob Perry. "Some of the spots are kinda coming apart and everything is just getting old."
The second phase of construction on the new buildings would be renovating the historical parts of the old schools.
"The school that [my son] goes to now is an older building," Rodriguez said. "I can't wait to hear the new additions they build so that everything is up to code, and the new technology that they're going to have."
It has not been determined yet how much the levy on the ballot would be for.

Author: Chris Crutcher
Publisher: Greenwillow Books
Publication Date: September 2007
Pages: 316
About the Book: Ben Wolf has big things planned for his senior year. Had big things planned. Now what he has is some very bad news and only one year left to make his mark on the world.
How can a pint-sized, smart-a** eighteen-year-old do anything significant in the nowheresville of Tout, Idaho?
First, Ben makes sure no one else knows what is going on — not his superstar quarterback brother, Cody, not his parents, not his coach, no one. Next, he decides to become the best 123-pound football player Trout High has ever seen; to give his close-minded civics teacher a daily migraine; and to help the local drunk clean up his act. And then there's Dallas Suzuki. Amazingly perfect, fascinating Dallas Suzuki, who may or may not give Ben the time of day. Really, she's first on the list.
Living with a secret isn't easy, though, and Ben's resolve begins to crumble… especially when he realizes that he isn't the only person in Trout with secrets.
My Thoughts:
If you don't like books that make you cry DO NOT read this one! Oh. My. Stars. I BAWLED. And really, you know what happens. It even tells you in the tagline on the cover that he only has a year to live. It reminds me of what my dad said to a middle school me when she came out of the movie theater sobbing (like, really unattractive, heaving sobs!) after seeing Titanic for the first time… "Heidi, honey… you KNEW how it was gonna end!" ***sigh*** Apparently I never learn!
Deadline follows Ben as he goes about living what he knows is the final year of his life. It also happens to be his final year of high school. This situation has the potential to create a totally bitter and depressed character. Ben is neither of those things. He's certainly not thrilled with the prospect of dying young but he decides that he will make this last year count. It's truly a great story about friendship, love, redemption, heart and hormones (Hey! He's a high school boy who KNOWS he's gonna die. What do you think is on his mind?!?)
This book is one more in a long line of awesome from Chris Crutcher. The man knows how to craft a story! His books are raw and real… probably why they're also challenged like nobody's business. For those of you who are not familiar with Crutcher or his books here is his website (He even has a link about censorship!) When I think of authors of young adult literature Chris Crutcher's name is one of the first that pops in to my head. He's been doing it (and doing it right!) since 1983.

A Jones County woman is recovering from a brutal beating that left her hospitalized in a coma. Deputies say her boyfriend is the one who attacked her.
It's one of two brutal domestic violence cases in Jones County recently, which domestic violence survivors like 28-year-old Erica Jefferson of New Bern find troubling.
"It's disheartening and frustrating that people feel they need to stay in a relationship like that," said Jefferson.
Jefferson survived 5 years with a man who she says verbally and physically abused her when he was angry. She separated from him last year.
"It started out as just a push or a kick, and then it went beyond that. It was definitely not a situation I would have ever thought I'd be in," said Jefferson, who founded an online women's ministry called Be Inspired!
On August 6, Jones County deputies arrested Hank Daughtey of Pollocksville for allegedly beating his girlfriend, Mandi Lane, into a coma, damaging her brain and lung.
Just six days later, deputies arrested Joaquin Lanclos of Maysville for allegedly punching his wife, Lynnell Lancos. They also arrested her for allegedly stabbing him in the back of the armpit with a kitchen knife.
"I talk to women and men all the time about domestic situations," said Lisa Moore, a court advocate for the Coastal Women's Shelter, which supports battered women in Craven, Jones, and other counties.
"It's like a cycle. They say it normally takes 7-9 times for the individual to actually leave the relationship and stay out of the relationship," said Lanclos.
Abusive relationships can end in death if the victims don't get away from it or receive help.That's why Jefferson is hoping victims don't tolerate abusive behavior.
"You can only deal with what you allow to take place," said Jefferson. "If you love yourself first and if you have a great support system, you will know that love doesn't hurt."
The Coastal Women's Shelter says 30 percent of women in the U.S. report they have been physically abused by their husband or boyfriend at one time or another.
-- Previous article --
A Pollocksville man is charged after a brutal domestic assault.
The Jones County Sheriff's Office says his arrest stems from reported overdose last Thursday, August 6.
EMS arriving at the scene stabilized the victim, Mandi Louise Kane, and transported her to the emergency room at Carolina East Medical Center. Medical staff later advised deputies that her condition was no overdose, but the result of a serious physical assault that left her with a punctured lung, severe brain trauma, and other injuries. She was transported to Vidant Medical Center for specialized care.
Investigators secured the scene, calling in the SBI to assist with the investigation. Overnight Sunday, lawmen took 32-year-old Hank Owen Daughtey into custody, charging him with Assault with a Deadly Weapon, Inflicting Serious Injury with Intent to Kill(F). He's in the Jones County Jail under a $500,000 secured bond.
The suspect has a history of violence and domestic assaults, lawmen say.
Kane is still in a coma in critical condition, under law enforcement protection, following multiple surgeries

Bit harsh on the Czech's I would say, they are not good but tidy enough after their poor first game.
I missed the game last night but after watching the first two games I'd have said there's no way they're better than Poland. The performance against Russia was the worst of the tourney so far.
Don't know whether it's a compliment or not though. Poland were clearly better than Greece, but totally choked, whereas Czech were under a lot of pressure for much of their game against Greece but still scrapped a win. There's a lot to be said for finding a way through in spite of your total ****eness.
Poland had a bit of the ball first half last night, but given how the Czechs stepped up after the break when they knew they needed to score I think they were more than happy with the draw which would've taken them through had the Greeks not scored.
If they had a less turd striker than Baros they could've had three easily. Even the ball he played for Jiracek's goal was ordinary. Left the bearded winger with an awful lot to do.
Can't believe Baros is still only 30. Has packed a lot of direness into those years.
Cricket Web's 2013/14 Premier League Tipping Champion
- As featured in The Independent.
"The committee discussed the issue of illegal bowling actions, and believed that there are a number of bowlers currently employing suspect actions in international cricket, and that the ICC's reporting and testing procedures are not adequately scrutinising these bowlers."
- Even the ICC's own official press release thinks things must change
Poland in all their games were capable of 20 minute spells of being really rather good but fairly hopeless the rest of the time.
Brolin was quality at USA 94 as well.
Sweden had a really good time round then. Finished 3rd at that WC I believe.

How to Clean an Optical Mouse:
- The optical mouse is gradually replacing the trackball mouse on most computers. While it requires less maintenance it still can eventually build up dust and dirt making the mouse jerky or unresponsive. Here's how you can clean an optical mouse.
- Turn off your computer and unplug the mouse.
- Look at the lens on the bottom of the optical mouse. If you see any debris see if you can blow it off. If not take a Q-tip and rubbing alcohol and lightly clean the lens.
- Next look at the small rubber pads on the bottom of the mouse. Dust and dirt tends to build up here making the optical mouse not move smoothly. Scrape as much of the gunk off as you can with your fingernail.
- If there is something sticky on one or more of the pads use Goo-Gone to dissolve it. Always make sure you don't use too much of any liquid when you clean an optical mouse. It is a piece of electronics, and you want to avoid getting liquids in to the interior.
- Take a damp cloth and wipe any remaining dirt and dust of the pads of the optical mouse.
- Plug the mouse back into the computer, and enjoy your newly cleaned optical mouse.
Package Included:
- 1 x USB ST Aircraft Model Optical Mouse

As always, it's always a matter of time before the pieces start to fit the puzzle http://www.fighthype.com/news/article13399.html
Great read to end my night shift at work and if the case, kudos to Floyd for showing loyalty and stayin true to what he's always said about loyalty. If I were in that position (as tempting as those figures look and sound), I'd do the same. Easy. Al Harmon didn't make Floyd the fighter he is, but he does have a lot to do with making Floyd the rich fighter he is. It would look sooo suspect if Floyd had all those positive things to say about Haymon, to go and turn his back on his mentor, as to say (power phrase) "even though you've done a lot for me, I don't trust". It makes more sense now why 50 said that he (Floyd) has a good heart, but don't think that he's smart. Translation "I respect your loyalty, but my plan of how to get this money is better than what you settled for".
I respect both Floyd & fif, but this one is a 1+ for Floyd if you ask me.

I dont even know what to make of this, and truthfully, who knows what's really going on.
One thing Floyd NEEDS to do, is cut all of these motherfuckers off, ASAP! These 20 and 30 people that he's supporting (family and all), need to beat it. This is EXACTLY how people go broke.
Stuff like this makes me hate rich people, really. All of this gambling, over-the-top fancy lifestyle, court and lawyer fees, that gold digger fiance, that crazy money-hungry baby mama, plotting yes-men, and age...are all seeming to catch up with Floyd.
Cut all of these people off, shoot for your last few big paydays, and make the most of it. He's made too much money and it's too late in his career, for all of this to be going in. Bad enough that we have to watch Manny get jerked around, and now Floyd is catching it as well.
As we all know, when people aren't careful with their money and runs out it, the first complaint usually starts with them feeling like they aren't getting paid for their true worth. We never make what we feel we're truly worth.
What he's been doing with Haymon and GBP thus far, has indeed made him one of the highest paid athletes as of late, so why mess it up? That $80M+ that he made over the past year, sure is enough...when you dont have 30 people around you with your hand out.

There's no reason to delay giving this opinion with needless words: Congressional Republicans are at fault for the government shutdown.
The GOP has had plenty of chances to reject the far right ideology that has hurt this country for years now, but they have failed at every turn. The latest shame has been rejecting a clean continuing resolution to fund the government.
The reasoning, this time, is that they want to stop the Affordable Care Act, sometimes known as Obamacare. Unfortunately for them, their stunt failed. The ACA rollout continued on Tuesday even as other government functions stopped.
But the larger point is even more damaging to the GOP. The heart of the ACA is based on health care exchanges. This type of health care reform, once called "Romneycare" in Massachusetts, where it was signed by the former GOP presidential candidate when he was governor of that state, was originally proposed by the conservative think tank the Heritage Foundation. It isn't socialism, as some of its critics blindly charge. It is capitalism in action, advanced under the theory that greater competition from health insurance companies and more customers from a "mandate" will bring down costs for everyone.
Recent polls have shown that if you call the health care reform by its proper name, the Affordable Care Act, rather than Obamacare, it gains 10 percentage points in popularity. If you separate out the proposals in the law and poll them individually, they score even higher. It makes sense. Who thinks that it would be better to deny people health insurance because of pre-existing conditions? Who would deny college students the right to stay on their parents' policies? Who would want less competition in the insurance market, or more people uninsured?
Sadly the answer is the modern Republican party and its elected officials in Washington.

Low tide : 05:09/18:01
High tide : 23:07/11:37
開催日程 : Owen Wright wins
波 : 6-8ft+

サイト更新 :
Long Beach, Long Island, NY - (Saturday, Sept. 3): The $1million Quiksilver Pro New York, supported by vitaminwater will debut at Long Beach, Long Island today. The event site today completed its rebuild in the wake of Hurrican Irene and is ready for tomorrow's Quiksilver Pro new York ASP World Tour Trials, presented by UnSound Surf, supported by vitaminwater. The trials will determine the winner of the final wildcard into the main event.
In contrast to Irene, the next storm system in the Atlantic is positioning itself to remain off-shore and generate good waves - precisely the kind of surf Quiksilver was hunting when they made the call to stage the Quiksilver Pro at Long Beach.
"It's taken a lot of work to get the event ready after Irene, but we are ready to go and the surf forecast is looking very promising for the coming week," said Mike Matey, Quiksilver Marketing VP.
"We are ecstatic with the great community support we have received. The vibe on the beach is fantastic. It's so good to be a new city with the ASP World Tour. There's a true sense of excitement in the air."
The 16 trialists competing today are:
Masatoshi Ohno (Japan)
Christobal De Col (Peru)
Fisher Heaverly (USA)
Sam Hammer (USA)
Garrett Parkes (Aus)
Keanu Asing (Haw)
Aaron Cormican (USA)
TJ Gumiela (USA)
Marc Lacomare (Fra)
Jeremy Johnston (USA)
Travis Logie (SAfr) *vitaminwater selection
Ryan Carlson (USA)
Maxime Huscenot (Fra)
Clay Marzo (Haw)
Asher Nolan (USA)
Leif Engstrom (USA)
Potential start time for the trials is 8am today.
While there was no competition today, more than 30,000 people turned out to enjoy day one of the US Labor Day weekend at Long Beach. The newly erected Quiksilver beach experience store was jumping, young girls were lining up for the Roxy surf camp, and throngs of surf spectators lined the shore to get a glimpse of the world's best surfers warming up for competition.

we couldn't be more pleased!!! while sighting the unit in we were amazed at the power - 3/8" cardboard, 1/4" plywood, and still had enough power to stick the pellet in the fence!!!
Great product, great price. What else can you say except....THANKS
Looks good. Shoots louder than my other, new spring is strong.. scope is hardly worth putting on... overall happy with decision to purchase. have shot about 250 times.
Looks and operates like brand new. Cannot see any signs of reconditioning all the way down to the packaging. Gun works as expected. High quality, nothing about it feels cheap. The scope is a disappointment. It looks good and is fine at very close ranges, but I will be installing a different scope soon. With just a slightly better scope I would give it a 5 rating, the throwaway scope drops it to a 4.
IIts a good price seeing that you save $50 plus tax on a new one. its not quiet though it maybe a blowback design like a muzzle break so maybe its quieter in front of it. not sure the budt expect to be heard
I love them! Quality merchandise at an affordable price.

Directional Entailingness (ch 2)
Directional entailingness is a feature of determiners. Entailment is a relation among statements; one statement entails another if the second has to be true given the first is true. Determiners are either downward entailing or upward entailing. Downward concerns the movement from less specific to more specific. Upward concerns the movement from more specific to less specific.
For example, 'every woman is bipedal' is a valid inference from 'every human is bipedal.' This means that 'every' is downward entailing with regard to the noun phrase of which it is a part. 'Every' is upward entailing in its VP. Given 'Every woman loves spinach,' it follows that every woman loves a green vegetable. By contrast, the determiner 'some' is upward entailing in both noun phrase and verb phrase: 'Some shapes are four-sided' is a valid inference from 'some shapes are squares' and 'some objects are round' is a valid inference from 'some coins are round.'

I Want You...To Work in Federal Libraries!
For those Librarians (or Librarians-to-be) interested in working for Federal Libraries, the Drexel University Special Libraries Association (DUSLA) recently hosted a presentation on Career Resources in Federal Libraries. The speakers, Federal Librarians themselves, go into a really good description about the opportunities and how to apply for them. To see the archived presentation, visit Tim Siftar's blog post about it and also see Tim's "stand-out advice" from the presentation. For those that are seriously interested in a career in Federal Libraries, this would be a great presentation to check out as it was apparently very well received by the students who attended.

Dolly, the fourth named storm of the 2014 Atlantic hurricane season, is expected to make landfall in Mexico.
A Cincinnati police station and high school were evacuated Thursday after a suspicious package was found. The suspicious package turned out to be a box of clothes, according to police.
About 900 students from Taft High School, along with CPD District 1 were both evacuated Thursday afternoon after a FedEx driver showed up with what he believed to be a suspicious package in his truck.
Police say the driver became suspicious of the package when he had never heard of the address so he drove his truck to the police station and notified an officer inside.
After being evacuated, the students at Taft High School and the Visual Arts School were bussed to their homes.
Officers say K-9s inspected the package to and determined that it did not contain drugs.
There was no disruption in service for District 1 residents.
Ezzard Charles and John Street were shut down while officers investigated.
"The good news is nothing bad happened," said Capt. Humphries.
With the city's top police brass out of their offices until the situation was resolved, Chief James Craig was asked if the safety of the streets was ever in jeopardy.
"Our police services or response to police services was not disrupted," said Craig. "Our staff did a phenomenal job as they do in these critical incidents. I'm very pleased with how its been handled."

Pitching Need: Wallace Matthews of ESPN wonders whether or not the Yankees will take an interest in the still jobless Kyle Lohse now that Phil Hughes has a bulging disc in his back. Since Lohse's agent is Scott Boras, it's possible his name might come up during the Robinson Cano extension talks. The team might wait to see how Hughes responds to treatments before taking a serious look.
Phelps in 2013: NoMaas examines the career numbers of David Phelps to see what we can expect from him in 2013. It looks like there might be some regression when it comes to his ERA, but his peripherals have stayed around his career rates so expect him to remain consistent. Now with the injury to Hughes, Phelps might save the rotation if they end up losing anyone to injury during the season.
Pitcher Development Success: The Captain's Blog breaks down Jeff Passan's article claiming the Yankees have done a poor job at developing pitching in the last five years. Passan attempted to prove Cashman wrong by accumulating WAR of all the pitchers that debuted in that time, but discovered that they actually were pretty good at it. The article goes on to prove how Passan might have decided the Yankees did a poor job in order to keep the narrative alive. Thankfully, it's easily knocked down.
The Nuisance: Now that Brett Gardner is healthy again, he has to wait to see how he fits on the team. Top of the order or bottom, left field or center field. Gardner's best assets include patience at the plate and a high contact rate that will make him a pesky opponent in the batting order. He sees a lot of pitches in his plate appearances, driving up pitch counts, and he steals a lot of bases.
Healthy Pitching: Brian Cashman believes the Yankees will score fewer runs, even though they have plenty of speed on the base paths. If he thinks the offense will be not as good as last year, yet still believes the team will be just as good, he must be anticipating a better ability to prevent runs from scoring. What the team needs to hope for is that their pitching stays healthy. With Hughes hurt, the once strong #4 spot becomes weaker by having David Phelps slide in, and then the bullpen becomes weaker when Adam Warren replaces Phelps. The team needs the rest of the rotation to stay healthy and Michael Pineda to recover his form.

Southend MOD site in blast scare
According to Essex Fire Service, around 22lb (10kg) of explosives were involved in the blast, which occurred at a weapons testing centre at MoD Shoeburyness, near Southend.
The weapons testers were freed by MoD officers in an armoured personnel carrier, but there were no injuries.
Five fire crews attended the incident, which happened at around 11am today.
A spokesman for QinetiQ, the private defence contractor that runs the Blackgate Road munitions centre, said:
"No-one was hurt in the incident at our environmental test centre and we are conducting a full investigation into what happened as is part of our standard safety procedures."

Famous Duck Spotted on Mars!
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Design, Internet, Rumors
We wanted to create something truly preposterous for April Fools' Day, but we know how much you take us seriously. Instead, we just thought we would let you know that Duck Dodgers and our favorite Martian were spotted on Mars. Really! Okay, you don't buy it, but we swear that a friend of ours saw them there today.
Alex Boese, curator of the online Museum of Hoaxes, claims that there is a decrease of genuine hoaxes that people will believe, such as a 1962 report by a Swedish TV Station that said you could color your black and white set if you just put a nylon stocking over it. We personally don't think anything could possibly be as scary or believable as Welles' "War of the Worlds" radio show from 1938. So happy Fools' Day, Gear Livers.

Rumors of a Nintendo Wii Microphone
Posted by Lolita Beckwith Categories: Accessories, Rumors, Video Games
Another day, another Nintendo Wii innovation. We recently reported on the Wii's upcoming online multiplayer capability starting in June. Now comes a practically-confirmed rumor that a "Wii-mic" will be arriving, in conjunction with the release of a
karaoke-style "High School Musical" game, as well as EA's upcoming "Harry Potter" game—in which you'll wave the Wii-mic like a wand and cast spells with the mic! Love it. Look for an official confirmation from Nintendo soon.

CONFIRMED?: Xbox 360 Limited Edition Black Box Art, HDMI Built-in
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Microsoft, Rumors, Video Games
We have been hearing about the possibility of a black Xbox 360 since before the console launched back in 2005. The early development kits were black, so it didn't seem too far-fetched an idea. Here we are, over a year later, and we now have had two internal sources send us the above image of the supposed Xbox 360 Limited Edition Black. The first one was confidential and featured the entire box art and folding instructions, the second was just the image above, which matches the first image we got. On the side, it lists that this model specs out with three USB 2.0 ports as well as an HDMI port. The hard drive size isn't listed on the box, so we can't confirm any hard drive size increases. Other than that, if our sources are to be believed, this looks to be the real deal.
EDIT: For all the people saying it's a Photoshop job…well, yeah. We are pretty sure that companies like Microsoft use programs like Photoshop to create their box art. The fact that such software is used isn't enough reason - on it's own - to discredit it the image.
Apple Makes Bold Statement Regarding 2007
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Rumors
So, we have MacWorld starting in about a week, and we have Apple rumors flying all over the place. Of course, everyone is hoping there will be an Apple Phone (not iPhone). Others are hoping for a finalized version of the iTV product. Then there are some wishing for a refreshed line of Cinema Displays that have integrated iSight cameras and HDCP-compliant HDMI ports. Oh, and there is also that new Leopard operating system that is said to be pretty fancy. So, what does Apple go and do since they know that they have the attention of the masses? They put up an image like the one above on their homepage, declaring that everything they have done in the history of the company was just the beginning…it was all meant to lay the foundation for what is coming in 2007. Apple fanboys unite, this could be the best your of your lives.

RED iMac and MacBook Coming Next?
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, PC / Laptop, Rumors
Okay, so a few days ago we had to give props to Apple for launching the RED iPod nano, because we can appreciate a company doing what it can to make the world a better place. Continuing in that trend, the rumor mill has been churning in regards to how Apple might follow up the RED nano. Word on the street is that they may possibly release RED Macbooks and iMacs as well. Our thoughts? Go for it. Seeing people carrying around RED Macbooks would rock our world, as Apple would be giving a portion of the purchase to the Global Fund to help HIV/AIDS afflicted women and children in Africa.

RFID Tagged Disks May Put a Halt to Piracy
Posted by Brian Viele Categories: HDTV, Home Entertainment, Movies, Rumors
Movie makers are planning to begin to use RFID tags embedded within media to prevent playing of pirated disks. The technology will be applicable to DVD's, HD-DVD's and Blu-Ray disks. Essentially, the system will read the ID tag to ensure the disk is authentic, which will require the unit 1) To be able to read RFID tags and 2) To be able to connect to some database to retrieve valid ID tags. All of this is going to be, of course, at the consumer's expense.
I have a few issues with this upcoming system. First of all, there will undoubtedly be ways to rip and re-burn the video into some generic form that will not require the player to scan the RFID. Otherwise, it will make recording home movies and such impossible, so it doesn't totally rid the potential of pirated media. Additionally, when these new security measures come into affect, people with older systems that do not have the RFID capability will be forced to upgrade in order to view the new releases. At $500 a pop for the low-end Blu-Ray and HD-DVD players today, I find it obscene to expect consumers to purchase a new device to incorporate new anti-piracy technology that likely will not be totally effective. Unless U-Tech, IPICO or the movie makers decide to upgrade consumers current equipment for free, I don't think many people will find this a great idea.

The iTunes Store Is Down: It's Showtime
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Rumors
In case you hadn't noticed, the iTunes Music Store has been down for a few hours. Of course, Steve Jobs is set to hit the stage in roughly five minutes or so for his September 12 keynote, where we expect to see a couple of iTunes upgrades. Disney movie downloads anyone?
Apple Special Event: It's Showtime on September 12
Posted by Yuan Zhao Categories: Apple, Corporate News, PC / Laptop, Portable Audio / Video, Rumors
For days now, rumors about the new "Merom"-based Core 2 Duo MacBook Pros and iMac as well as the mysterious video iPod/iPhone have been making rounds on the Internet, in anticipation of an announced and unverified Apple release event. Unverified, that is, until now. The company has sent invitations to "select members of the media and others" to attend a "special event" on September 12, 10:00 AM Pacific Time in San Francisco, California.
While nothing is known about the nature of the event or what products will be released (for surely, Steve Jobs must have some new gadgets up his sleeves), it is a good bet that Core 2 Duo MacBook Pros will be exhibited, especially now that Dell and other PC manufacturers are already shipping laptops with the chip. A Core 2 Duo iMac was also expected, however those were just announced earlier today. Of course, let's not forget the possibility of full-length movie downloads available via the iTunes music store.
The event is to be held at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts Theater.

PSP Price Cut Coming?
Posted by Brian Viele Categories: Portable Audio / Video, Rumors, Video Games
Sony is likely going to drop the price of the PSP by fifty bucks to $149 by the holidays according to some experts. The unit is beginning to lose momentum to the lower priced Nintendo DS, which sells for $129. This loss in momentum comes on the tails of Nintendo's release of some attention grabbing games such as "Brain Age" and "New Super Mario Brothers." With the high priced PS3 coming this winter ($499 base unit) and an aging PS2 as the lowest priced Sony system, a price cut on the PSP is a must if Sony wants to remain competitive to the average consumer.

The Auburn Tigers and head coach Gene Chizik brought out new offensive coordinator Scot Loeffler [<--- seemingly unembeddable video there] on Monday. Coming from the Temple Owls, Loeffler takes over for new Arkansas St. Red Wolves head coach Gus Malzahn, a Broyles Award winner as the nation's top assistant.
When asked about what appears to be the most pressing issue -- whether Auburn will retain elements of Malzahn's wide-open attack or shift to a pro-style scheme -- Loeffer said he likes it all and is just here to score "football points." I like that, and hope we all start referring to points in this fashion. He also said his offense's duty is to "protect that defense," further suggesting that Malzahn's aggressive offense became just a little bit too fast-paced for Chizik's preferences as time went by.
He said he was congratulated by former fellow Michigan Wolverines depth chart dweller Tom Brady, while Chizik noted both Loeffler and new defensive coordinator Brian VanGorder each has SEC and NFL experience. Loeffler coached Detroit Lions quarterbacks for the 2008 season.
SEC blog Team Speed Kills tries to make sense of what this all means, while Auburn blog Track 'Em Tigers is pretty much already sold.

Manchester United are corner defending machines. Manchester City are... something. Nani fashions an opening by blazing down the right and crossing for Wayne Rooney, who appears to be somewhat surprise that everyone's missed the ball. He takes decisive action by also missing the ball, which seems faintly communist. Ashley Young mopping up can't do much of anything, and back back back the ball goes to the United defence for the team to start building again.
A fantastic flick by ersatz right back Chris Smalling launches another attack, this one lasting somewhat longer as red shirts probe and tease at the Manchester City defence. Then the ball gets to Michael Carrick in space, and he opts to chip the ball and two miles an hour in the vague direction of Joe Hart's goal. The City keeper has enough time to raise an eyebrow and suppress a chortle at the midfielder. I am not so lucky in my chortle-suppression.
Edin Dzeko and Anderson both get booked for getting tetchy with each other on the halfway line shortly after that. Said yellow cars will have no ramifications whatsoever.

Pet Name: Jezebel
Treated For: Cancer – Fibrosarcoma
Total Repaid: $15,808.51
I have had my Jezebel since she was a 5 month old kitten. I found her at the Valero gas station on Memorial Drive close to downtown. She is 7 yrs old now. I don't have any kids, so she is MY fur baby.
I got pet insurance almost as a fluke. I had been thinking about my cat Chelsea that had passed away 10 years ago from lymphoma. I was at work and Googled pet insurance and then started comparing them. I decided on Trupanion because they had no deductible and paid 90%. I didn't purchase this insurance for regular vet check ups or minor office visits like a little cut on her chin. I didn't even send that claim in.  I purchased insurance for worst case scenario. Never did I think I would have to use it.
Six months after I signed Jezebel up with Trupanion my worst nightmare came true. She was diagnosed with vaccine-related fibrosarcoma on her right hip. One day she was fine, the next day there was a huge tumor. It appeared out of nowhere. She was initially diagnosed at my local vet Jones Road Animal Hospital. They referred her to Gulfcoast Vet Assoc.'s oncology dept. I was so scared. My immediate thought was the insurance is not going to pay for this. It's going to be a problem. I had only been signed up for about six months. They will say she already had it. I even asked the vet was it possible that she had this for 6 months and I didn't notice. He said no. I scheduled Jezebel's surgery and treatments without knowing if Trupanion would pay or not.
I collected Jezebel's medical records from Jones Road and The Cat Vet Clinic and submitted them to Trupanion. Teresa Lee was assigned as my claims adjuster. She left me a voice mail that she would need to review Jezebel's records prior to approving the claim. I was scared. I was sure my claim would be denied and that meant death for Jezebel. In under 10 days my claim was approved. I couldn't believe it was that easy. And it only got easier from that point.
Jezebel had surgery to remove her leg and part of her pelvic bone the week of July 4, 2010. After surgery, she started 3x per week radiation on the tumor site and 1x every 3 weeks chemo treatment for the next several months. I paid my bill, submitted the claim to Trupanion on a Monday and received a check in the mail by Saturday. Teresa would receive my claim email me and have the check approved all in the same day. Teresa Lee is a GREAT claim adjuster. If I could hug her I would.
Jezebel's medical team was aware from the beginning that she had insurance with Trupanion. It helped so much that I didn't have to decide what treatments could and could not be done because they were too expensive. She received all the treatments that were necessary to cure her. Jezebel just had her most recent check up in November 2010 and is doing GREAT!!!!!
Dr. Gumpel was her doctor at Gulfcoast that administered the radiation treatments. He mentioned to me that another client came in with a pet that had cancer and told him they had Trupanion insurance but had never used it. Of course they were worried like I was that it might not pay. Dr. Gumpel told him about Jezebel and told him that "I don't think you have anything to worry about, we have had a very good experience with Trupanion".
Trupanion saved my Jezebel's life. If I had not had the insurance she would not be here today. Trupanion has paid over $15,000 so far for her treatments. She is currently cancer free!!! I can honestly say it has been the best $30 per month investment I have ever made. I would have been happy to pay $30 per month for the next 20 years and never have had to use the insurance. I can honestly say I am Trupanion's biggest fan! If you have any questions about getting your pet insured with Trupanion feel free to email me. I will tell you personally about my experience. I have my kitty. Thanks Trupanion.
