Two brothers from South Jersey allegedly purchased 16,700 counterfeit NBA and NFL jerseys and were using them as prizes on the Wildwood boardwalk.
NBC40 spoke with other business owners on the boardwalk who say this kind of fraud gives the boardwalk a bad name.
Sharlean Soto is a Wildwood tourist who says she wears NBA and NFL clothing to support her favorite teams, but if she happened to win one of the jerseys on the Wildwood boardwalk over the past few years, she may have won a fake. Soto said, "Like, I wouldn't buy anything that's not real. I like to support my team."
Frank Stone, an employee at Mariner's Arcade in Wildwood, said, "To have a knock-off jersey or a knock-off anything is unfortunate and it's bad for the reputation of the Wildwood boardwalk as a whole."
On Wednesday morning, officials arrested 32-year-old Brett Strothers of Egg Harbor Township, and his brother, 28-year-old Evan Strothers of Mays Landing.
The brothers are accused of participating in a conspiracy to traffic counterfeit merchandise from 2010 to 2012.
Both Strothers were charged along with two other men: one from Thailand and another from the People's Republic of China -which is allegedly where the jerseys were being manufactured.
Neighbors of the brothers say they were shocked to hear of the charges.
Zach Adams lives in the same neighborhood of Even Strothers and told NBC40, "It's pretty interesting and I don't know, you don't suspect it in your own back yard."
The U.S. Attorney's Office says the jerseys were used as prizes in several different basketball and football toss games on the Wildwood and North Wildwood boardwalk.
Most business owners that we spoke with on the boardwalk said other vendors should stand behind their products, and their prizes, without tricking their customers into buying a fake product.
Stone said, "We run a family type operation. We stand by all of our products and all of our suppliers and it's a fun place to be. It's a family place. People come in, they win points, and they put their points towards a prize. Sometimes people work a long time to get those prizes."
Officials say the manufacturer suggested retail price for the authentic versions of the jerseys is estimated at approximately 4 million dollars. Adams said, "If I put myself in the seat of the business owners, if I was an NBA owner, or an NBA player for that matter, and someone stole $4 million dollars worth of revenue from me - I would go after them. So I say yeah, they have to be prosecuted."
Both brothers were released on a 50 thousand dollar bond with travel restrictions and an employment restriction, which prohibits them from working at any boardwalk business while on release.

Power to The Student
By Preethi Ann Thomas - DOHA, QATAR

Last Updated: 05th January 2014 08:32 PM
The interest in the knowledge economy is growing worldwide and a result of this trend is the Massive Online Open Course (MOOC). A surge in the number of people opting for MOOCs worldwide urges us to look at a few pressing issues — are MOOCs just a reflection of enthusiasm from learners or an indication of an underlying problem? Does rising of MOOCs imply the demise of university degrees or make the teacher obsolete? Globally, work is no longer only production-oriented and traditional. It is becoming more knowledge-based and students' demands and needs seem to have changed. Somehow, universities around the world have failed to live up to this transition. Discussing this issue at great length were experts at the WISE Summit held in October last year.
Let's look at the pro's of this method of learning — free of cost, flexibility, solution to demand for knowledge, accessible to all, creating of an archive of knowledge, encouraging to both students and professors to improve, etc. But despite this, MOOCs have attracted controversy, no doubt, in the last few years.
The skepticism surrounding this phenomenon is a mixture of many factors — high dropout rates, lack of certification, giving teachers a less important role of moderator and mediator, missing out on the college experience and intellectual property issues. That said, MOOCs are going to produce a dramatic systemic change. According to the experts, it is just a word that reflects different political, economic and technological trends. They are part of a shadow learning economy — a supply side solution to a knowledge side demand problem we are facing in the world.
Commenting on the general dissatisfaction about education worldwide, Prof Pai Obanya, chairman, West African Examinations Council, says, "To solve the problem education faces, we have to look outside the education structure — focus on critical infrastructure and promotion of technology and the human angle. Instead of focusing only on designing technology we also have to prepare people to use it."
A business model
Mike Feerick, winner of the 2013 WISE award for creating new employment opportunities worldwide is an Irish social entrepreneur, and founder of Advance Learning Interactive Systems Online (ALISON), an Ireland–based e-learning company, which has delivered 60 million online lessons with some 2,50,000 graduates of its 500+ courses as of January 2013. This Ashoka Fellow, follows a business angle to support the uprising of MOOC. "The cost of learning is going up, at some stage it is going to be profitable to deliver e-learning to the masses for free through advertising, of course. I had a company that owned six courses in IT literacy. I made them free online in April 2007. Now we have 2.1 million people enrolled in 600 courses and we have three lakh+ graduates till date. It is a business model, but it is also a social enterprise," he says.
edX by Harvard and MIT, Coursera, a Stanford company; and Udacity, are some popular MOOCs based on classroom learning. But what ALISON does differently to help the process along is that apart from being open to learning, you also have to be open to testing anywhere, at any time. Their tests are available online for employers who can test you for skills you've learned — a definite plus for those who are serious about skill development.
George Siemens, developer of one of the first MOOCs, outlines a range of effects, mostly positive in MOOCs. "But this is because there has been so little experimentation in education," he says. "MOOCs are a big experiment to me, not a solution. It's an opportunity to evaluate the role of technology in the education process today. The questions I would ask are — Is the depth of learning going to be on par with the quality of learning in a classroom? At a conference in New Delhi last year, I met a group of students who were very positive about MOOCs when I had just received a lot of negative criticism from faculty. Every one of them felt it was a great learning experience."
But he fears that this could be a reflection of the kind of teachers we have. "We as educators shouldn't define the value of MOOCs. Students define that. And students love it. Maybe they did have bad teachers. There are so many innovative ways to learn online. Shouldn't MOOCs encourage teachers to improve? I hope so. Digital learning should encourage everybody in the system to think about the value they provide to learners, the system and society."
MOOCs democratise education
The very nature of MOOCs is a democratic model that makes learning open to all for free. But the permanence of this phenomenon is to be questioned. It could be the start to a diversified education system where learning is a network and each one can learn in different spaces, with or without mentors/instructors. The challenge lies in retaining students and capturing and validating learning to serve the same cause that a traditional degree would serve. It is time for the learner to become central, the teacher secondary and the system last.
MOOCs make some teachers obsolete
Fear and skepticism is mostly from professors: are they being sidelined? The general consensus is, no. Siemens says, "It will make not all, but some teachers redundant. Their roles might be different, but technology will play a greater role in education. Software now is complex enough to provide a personalised adaptive learning experience. So I think technology will be competing with teachers in knowledge transfer."
He continues, "The other aspect is the political one — even though technology will make some teaching practices and activities obsolete, unions/governments in many countries may not accept these changes easily." For a complete list of MOOCs you can enrol in, visit www.mooc-list.com.
george siemens on learning in the digital age
A Canadian educator and researcher on learning, networks, systemic change, analytics and visualisation, openness and organisational effectiveness in digital movements, George Siemens is also associate director of the Technology Enhanced Knowledge Research Institute (TEKRI) at Athabasca University, Canada. He is the originator of Connectivism theory and has authored Knowing Knowledge analysing knowledge in the digital world. His PhD at University of Aberdeen, was on sensemaking and wayfinding in complex information settings and frequently engages in discussions on the influence of technology and media on education, organisations and societies.
Stephen Downes and George Siemens developed the Connectivism and Connective Knowledge (CCK08) course, as one of the first open source learning courses. The term MOOC (Massive Online Open Course) was coined in 2008 by Dave Cormier, manager, Web Communications and Innovations University of Prince Edward Island, and senior research fellow Bryan Alexander, National Institute for Technology in Liberal Education, in response CCK08. In conversation with George Siemens at WISE 2013…
How has technology affected the way we acquire and disseminate knowledge?
The obvious impact is that it has made knowledge transfer and acquisition more equitable. At the level of being able to share in the creation of knowledge — social media is used to share and express ideas, blogs, etc. In academic settings, this is called grey literature. This is the literature that comes out of blogs and wiki's — stuff we share that isn't in an academic journal, but is still important information as innovative ideas.
What was the inspiration behind CCKO8?
I found that being connected to other people was a very rich personal experience and that if I taught others how to participate in these distributed networks, their lives would be enriched too. When you look back, everything you did seems like a coherent process, but we were just tinkering and playing. You describe it like it was a holistic experience, but it was far more chaotic. We just experimented, thought we'd have 100/200 students sign up, but turns out we had just under 2,300 students join us and 50/60 countries represented. The interest generated was surprising.
Since then, we've run a dozen different courses and played with our pedagogy. We have a different view from some of the other MOOC providers, and we really want to lay emphasis on students creating the process. I personally don't want to see MOOCs being provided only by big established universities. Instead, MOOCs should be taught by faculty out of Africa, West Asian countries or India. Why don't some regions of the world export knowledge instead of only importing it?
How are MOOCs student-centric?
We have a framework of a course that allows students to define what is relevant to them, what they cared about, and they are encouraged to be in charge of their learning process. It's what they learn by themselves that's important. We want to focus on students having the ability to decide what's important for them, with the educator providing support. Putting the learner in control and giving them permission to being in control is what we attempted.
Where are MOOCs headed?
I think MOOCs are a bit of a fad or buzz word, and I suspect that in a few years time we will all be sick of it and move on to something else. What's important about MOOCs is that they aren't the trend, but a reflection of a lot of different trends. MOOCs reflect that the world is going online, becoming more active with technology in our personal lives and are globally connected. But if we get sick of MOOCs, those pressures that are driving education don't cease to exist.
So what it does for education is, it breaks apart the institutions — the "unbundling" happens. Instead of having an integrated system of education, you may get a degree/certificate from alternative learning sources with alternative credentialling systems. Wearable computing and technology will play a greater cognitive role in society. We will be co-intelligent with our technical systems.
How does technology impact our interaction with the environment?
It gives students some control which they didn't have in the past. Our learning is touch-, feel-, eat-oriented. That's how we figure out our world. But on the flip side, they could also be missing out. If you're looking at a flower on an iPad when there's one outside your window, you must get out!
How can we strike a balance between our virtual and real lives?
Teachers should play an important mentoring role. There are situations when working with technology is the right way to go and there are situations when students should be outside, interacting with nature and each other. Anything else should have rules and limits. With my kids, I have established time limits on how much screen time they are allowed in a day. Books are now digital as well. So does reading count as screen time? We do lose something, definitely. In some countries, people are struggling with internet or mobile device addiction. They ignore people around them.
Overcoming the addiction
I think the solution is to return to some spiritual practices and meditation. These aren't prominent in school settings. A faculty member in the US makes his students sit down, reflect, meditate and think about what they should be doing, what's important, etc, before they start a task on the computer. Internet distracts you. So you need to develop presence of mind and awareness you use technology.
That's exactly what schools should teach. Family should teach us about appropriateness. Would you answer your phone and start talking in the middle of a conference or would you mute it when it rings? In my eyes, it is socially inappropriate. Maybe it's culturally appropriate. These are the kind of things that schools teach us — when is the use of technology appropriate? We haven't developed those kind of norms yet.
Is college experience essential?
Universities, in spite of some challenges, have an enormous impact on society. There is no better way to alleviate poverty than through education. The best way of improving a person's quality of life is through education. I would think, anyone should have the opportunity to attend college or university. That experience should be augmented by alternative approaches of teaching and learning technologies. India has a lot of intellectual capital that is under utilised. Even with MOOC providers, some of the strongest learners and the largest taker group is from India.
What are your current projects?
I am currently working with a colleague on competency-based learning platform. We have developed a series of open courses that will be launched next year as an experiment. Most MOOCs now represent the classroom model. I'd like to see a learning experience that is completely driven by network effects
and greater learner control and influence. We should be able to integrate all of life's learning experiences onto a platform that allows you to demonstrate a skill to anyone who cares — be it an employer or a university. So a platform for managing competencies is what I'm trying to create.

A small blackout knocked out power to 30 customers at 12:39 p.m. Sunday afternoon.
According to PG&E spokesperson Jana Morrisson, three individual homes plus an apartment building located at 2000 California St. with 27 units lost power. There is no information about power restorals as of yet.
Morrisson said the affected homes were located in Mountain View from Rengstorff Avenue to Chiquita, between El Camino Real and California Street.
According to conversations on a police scanner that took place around the time of the blackout, the Mountain View police station and a nearby fire station also lost power, but Morrisson said the stations likely had their power restored immediately and PG&E was not showing any such locations as being among the affected any longer.
Patch will update this story if and when more information becomes available.

I posted this on the general message board, because I couldn't find this one, but now I have, so I am re-posting it here - more relevant.
I had an open radical prostatectomy Oct 13 2008. Incontinence was of course a side effect. I suspect I am very lucky that the incontinence is only of the stress incontinence type, where anything raising intra-abdominal pressure causes urine leakage unless I clamp down on it. So that kind of control is possible.
I have tried hard to find information on getting this stress incontinence under control, but not found much. Everywhere you are advised to do lots of Kegels, but I haven't found much at all on what to do besides that, so I wish to list what I have managed to learn by doing.
First, purely by chance, I found a very helpful book called Beyond Kegels, by Janet A. Hulme. It addresses incontinence in general, and although it hasn't much on post-prostatectomy incontinence specifically, it is still very helpful. It has a series of exercises ranging from really telling how to do Kegels, to strengthening a series of other muscles that enter the lower abdomen and can help gain control. I believe that doing these is helping me a lot.
As to what to do with the ability to do Kegels, the short answer is to contract the Kegeling muscles just before doing anything that raises pressure in the lower abdomen and therefore presses out urine. This is easier said than done, and I am finding that a physical retraining process is needed and slowly happening. For example I am well beyond making a Kegel part of every cough or sneeze, since that was one of the first and most obvious events that caused leakage. But a lot more movements and maneuvers cause intra-abdominal pressure that I didn't at first realize would do so (with leaks the result). Examples of such movements include bending over while sitting, or turning while bending, or lifting a weight that causes a lot of abdominal muscles to clench.
Slowly but I think reasonably surely I am gaining initially a conscious awareness to clench the Kegel muscles before or as part of a range of maneuvers. The next step is to gain the ability to have the Kegel become an almost subconscious part of such maneuvers. Once I have noted a type of maneuver that will cause leaking, I practice it quite a few times while consciously Kegeling, and of course when I actually need to do them. Over time the doing of the Kegel hopefully becomes part of doing that maneuver, but of course I forget sometimes and have some leakage.
I still find things that cause leakage, that I don't do often do, and upon doing one of these things discover that they cause intra-abdominal pressure and leakage. I'm sure that will continue from time to time.
A few things may be very difficult to fully control, such as jogging or jumping, or other major athletic maneuvers. But I'm 61 and don't do all that many of these.
So what is "dry"? The books I've seen define it as needing no pads for leakage. I was very reluctant to try a day without pads at first. I first tried it on weekend days and with old jeans, etc., as I had heard from another prostate cancer survivor. The first couple of weekends weren't too bad but did not give me confidence to try going to work without pads. Finally I had a weekend that was not too bad. I decided to try one day at work without pads. That was manageable so I didn't use them the next day either. I have now gone two weeks without pads without an incident that was noticeable by anyone else.
So far dry is not absolutely no leakage. What it is to this point is no leakage more than a few drops at a time, and not very often. Underwear has been sufficient to capture those few drops. This doesn't have odor when happening. I choose (and can wear to work) relatively informal slacks, even jeans, but i think I could wear dress slacks and not have events that would be visible by wet darker coloration (which of course would in any event dry and go away).
I can live with this and prefer it to pads. And going without pads focuses the mind wonderfully on paying attention to those movements that may start a leak, and the exercises in Beyond Kegels include fast Kegeling, which catches the leaks and keeps them small.
Nights have worked out ok. Lying flat means little intra-abdominal pressure, so few leaks. I haven't had a major leak while sleeping after the first couple of weeks after catheter removal (and even then they weren't very large). Perhaps I'm just lucky on this, I have only my own experience to go on.
I hope this is useful to someone. I also invite others to relate their experience on how they got to acceptably dry, or could not.
four weeks later (Jan 09) - the progression toward little leakage continues, this is headed for almost subconscious control by making the needed muscle-use patterns habitual..

Thank you for taking the time to post how everything has went for you. I have searched wide and far also, and as you said, there is not much info out there. I go in for surgery on the 21st of this month, and have been trying to learn all I can before I go in. I will visit the bookstore this week and track down the book you mentioned, and will post how things go after the surgery for those who may be interested. It has been quite a journey so far, and I will see what tomorrow brings. Thanks again for posting.

Fire Mike Woodson. Sure, he's brought the hawks from a 13 win team to a top contender in the east, but was it really him? Any coach given that amount of talent to work with can at least do something win it. What has he done? He's set up a primitive defense and a primitive offense. Our defense consists of switching... ON EVERYTHING..... I mean, switching is a great strength of ours because from our SG to C the players are generally the same height, but switching should be selective. Why do we switch Bibby and Hortford? Switches that cause mismatches like that should only be done towards the end of the shot clock. I've seen many plays where bibby has ended up guarding a PF or joe has ended up guarding a Center, and i would forgive them if it happened once or twice, but it happens so many times more that that... He's defensive minded but he doesn't have the mind to teach it. Why can't he switch it up every once in awhile and put a zone defense. That way the Bibby hole on defense would be less obvious On offense it's just a lot of plays to get someone open for a pass so that they can do an isolation play, or run the ball. Running the ball is really good for the hawks, but it can't be done every single time without a great PG, but what structure is there in our offense? none.
One thing that fires me up about mike woodson is that he never develops any rookies. You can make an argument for Hortford and smith, but what has he actually taught them? Smith still relies heavily on his athleticism and can't even use it correctly, and hortford was a very sound player who went to college for four years. Hortford's development has come naturally. Smith has not actually gotten better unless he was working with players such as hakeem olajuwon on footwork and such. With marvin, he has not gotten better at anything that deals with team skills, such as passing, positioning, rebounding, etc.... but he has developed one on one skills such as shooting, which he already had a great shooting for when he came into the league, but after saying all of this.. what has mike woodson done for them? A great coach, or even a good coach develops players at least somewhat.. Any spurs player improves greatly when playing under Greg Popovich. In fact, greg popovich makes use of any player he has to the greatest he possibly can. If oberto was on any other team, then no one would ever have heard of him. Manu and Parker were both 2nd round nobodies. What happened to Nazr Mohammed when he left the spurs? Everyone on the spurs knows how to defend and pass. Why can't Mike Woodson take the time to develop any young players... How many rookies have become successful under mike woodson... i can name 3. How many have disappeared into free agent oblivion? What happened to Salim? What happened to Roy al Ivey? What happened to Donta Smith? Where is Solomon Jones? Sheldon Williams????? Boris Diaw showed quite a gifted display of skill after he left the hawks. I feel really bad for Acie Law, who was a lottery pick. Josh Childress may have developed, but that was just from getting used to the NBA.. He honestly never really improved. Mike, play teague more, play bibby less, teach them how to play basketball!!!!!! with the talent josh smith has... he should be a definite allstar... he should be considered to be a part of the elite. may be a lot of it is his fault, but this doesn't take away the fault of Woodson. What happened to Marvin? if he was playing with another coach, his development would have been much better.
Now with individual players, there must be much more improvement. First starts with Josh Smith, the backbone of the team. He is the most important because when he is having a great game, everyone else is having a great game. He has the ability to change the momentum of the game and bring the hawks an enormous amount of energy. However, if this occurred more often the hawks would be the team to beat. First of all, Josh needs to improve his jumpshot. He needs to have a 15-17 footer that goes in consistently so that players cannot sag off of him. That way he can take advantage of the mismatches he poses every game. No PF can stay in front of Smith. If there is one, then they will not be strong enough, most likely. With that jumper, he needs improved ball handling skills in order to take advantage of his speed. That way he can drive past defenders even without a jumpshot. then josh needs to take it to the basket with full speed and power. He needs to go up STRONG and aggressively. No one can compete with his height and vertical. He needs to dunk more often because he obviously has the ability to, and not just on fast breaks but in half court situations. He needs to play like chris bosh and KG and Amare, but also a little hint of Lebron. With the jumpshot and ball handling, he needs to improve on his touch around the basket. He misses a lot of lay ups and he relies heavily on his left hand. He needs to be adept with both hands and must also develop a reliable little hook shot. Also he needs to learn a face up, high-post game, like boozer, but also learn a back-to-basket, low post game, like a time duncan. Josh already has good passing ability shown with his 3.7 assists a game which is leading the league in the PF spot, but his passing is more because of natural vision. the accuracy of his passes are pretty iffey, but once josh become good enough offensively to be double teamed, his passes would help open up teammates which will make him even more of a player that gets the team going.
Joe Johnson needs many improvements, but none of them are skill. Skill wise, he could just use a little improvement in passing and shooting and whatnot, but his main issues deal with his mentality. If he got 8 FT a game scoring would be so much easier for him he would average around 2 or 3 more points just from free throws. He should play more aggressively and draw some fouls. When he posts up, no one can effectively guard him except a few 2s and 3s. He never takes advantage of that and just waits for a double team to come, but if he just took advantage and used the post up to score instead of just drawing a double team then the double teams would come harder creating more open shots for other players, he just needs to stop isolating, and make quick aggressive moves to the basket. His floaters are great, but he rarely does it. He shoots his floater less often than he should. He also has a nice baby hook and a nice shooting touch. if he learns a fade away, then the double team would come earlier and passing it would be easier. If the pass is made early the ball movement should be quicker. Also i often see JJ miss some wide open threes. the majority of his points come from pull ups after a lot of over dribbling. he needs to establish an aggressive tempo to start off then just score off of easy buckets with cuts and fast breaks and some little post ups or an open jumper, then towards the final minutes of the game take over with isolations. When the tempo is established he should just be more of a facilitator, until the tempo is broken or his scoring domination is needed. Also, when he is double teamed, then he should pass it out quickly with will call for quicker ball movement and scrambling of the defense.
Marvin Williams is another key for the hawks. He has the ability, but doesn't use it. He needs to play like how he played last year. when he gets the ball, he should take it to the hole and get a foul call. he needs to use his athleticism in this point of his career and make a few cuts every now and then. Mike woodson should have a couple of plays a game to get marvin going offensively. That way it'll open up more for the other team members. Also, his threes have improved, but he should keep improving them. That way, he can be a defensive player that can shoot threes and slash to the basket, but also a scorer that can score on will when he is on fire. he should play like Paul Pierce. They have similar body structures. Marvin needs to get stronger and get ball handling so that he can use it to get past any defender. also he needs to be able to post up, just like paul pierce and absolutely bully defenders.
Al Hortford needs to keep shooting that mid range. He needs to get it to a point where you must absolutely defend that shot. Also, defensively, since he's a little undersized, he needs to play like a Ben Wallace, and just defend with that kind of intensity and energy. Hortford is a decent passer but he could use a little more work on that. Also, he needs to get more back to basket moves, as long as high post moves, and perform them with more fluidity. Another thing is he could use better ball handling skill because he loses control of the ball often which prevents him from beating his defender as well as he could. He just needs to learn the post game, and how to score without using brute strength. His fadeaways should go in more considering his shooting touch, but if he can make his fadeaway a deadly weapon then it'll become, well, a deadly weapon. He needs to execute his offensive moves with more fluidity. His moves seem a bit rigid as of now. He should be like a Zach Randolph, or Amare Stoudemire. Zach randolph does not have overpowering height or strength or athleticism. He is like a big man version of andre miller. Stoudemire can score with skill and athleticism. If hortford can use his athleticism(not as good as Stoudemires but solid athleticism) and also score with skill then he'd be a pretty deadly offensive force.
Jeff Teague needs to learn a lot in the next 2 years from Mike Bibby and Jamal Crawford. He also needs to learn how to become his own player. Take the positives and leave the negatives. If Teague can become a respectible defensive player and offensive player, then i can see the hawks becoming the team to beat within a couple of years. As Bibby steps down, i'd want a PG just like him offensively, but better defensively. However, teague is also pretty athletic, so he needs to learn the PG position: understanding tempo, momentum, ball distribution, how and when to pass, and decision making. then become a scorer second, which he already has shown talent of. His jumpshot is sort of low, and he sort of palms the shot so it doesn't get much rotation. As a result i don't see him becoming a great shooter, but he can become a good shooter. With all that he should be a PG that can drive the ball in like no other. He needs some ball handling moves that can get him pass any player. Learn how to run the pick and roll. He needs a reliable floater. He should get stronger without losing his speed.
ZAZA needs to further develop his 15 foot jumper. Recently he's been showing signs of a nice shooting touch. Also, when he gets the ball he needs to make an aggressive move to the basket, and learn some post moves. I love the way ZAZA shows and plays with so much intensity. If he shows more offensive production, he can fire up the team, as well as contribute more to the offense.
All the other players are already developed or have no problems that can really be fixed. Mike Bibby is too old and he's a veteran that won't really improve, unless he suddenly pulls a steve nash. Crawford just needs to keep doing what he's doing. He's not the perfect player, and he doesn't always take the smartest shots, but most teams need a player like him, who can absolutely explode on offense. Mo Evans has shown great shooting touch, and pretty sruprising athleticism, but he does not have the ball handling skills to use those skills to the fullest. He could also learn a little post game since he's pretty strong, but Mo evans is pretty old also and probably will not improve. Mario West can improve though. With watching him, he seems to have an extremely similar body style to dwayne wade, and he is really strong and very athletic. If he could develop ball handling, shooting, offensive awareness, and coordination, then he could become a potent offensive force. His defense also needs some work. Sure he is considered a good defensive player, but he only has to play in like 1-2 minute stretches and he tends to foul a lot. He shows great anticipation in rebounding. He seems to be really quick, and explosive, but he's already 25, and it's highly unlikely that he will develop those skills.

As a lighting engineer at the television network QVC, I face, on a daily basis, unique scenarios that challenge me to stay on the cutting edge of technology. Two years ago, I was asked to help with the transition from a DMX network to a new, powerful Ethernet-based system. Since then, we have experienced many trials and tribulations, because of the system's size and because of the nature of our business-but we have in place a new Ethernet system that we continue to enhance.
QVC is the world's largest electronic retailer and the second largest television network in the United States. It broadcasts live 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 364 days a year to more than 85 million homes in the US, and to millions more in England, Germany, and Japan. QVC's broadcast lighting department consists of seven people: one lighting supervisor, two lighting engineers, two LDs, and two grips. It's a small number, considering they must handle nearly 40,000 sq. ft. of studio space in eight studio locations, lighting nearly 350 new sets a year. Currently, QVC has in stock roughly 1,000 conventional and 80 automated fixtures.
We had to choose Ethernet for this new system because, under our previous setup, we were out of channels, we had no room to grow, and yet we still were introducing more and more automated fixtures into the mix. Ethernet offered us an incredible amount of expansion, flexibility, and reliability. However, it was crucial to remove the old system and replace it with a new Ethernet network as seamlessly as possible.
Before the changeover, we had a standard two-universe DMX512 system was controlled by six Electronics Diversified Enact consoles in different locations, EDI Copy Cat units, and High End Systems LCD controllers. The signal flow in the Main Studio was complicated; we had only three Enact two-universe consoles running through DMX mergers and controlling 1,000 dimmers and analog-triggering multiple-LCD controllers running 22 automated fixtures and 12 scrollers, and triggering two huge roll drops. The control lines ran upstairs to our main dimmer room and through splitters to control our 12 dimmer racks, landing in multiple studio and control-room locations for patch points. We backed up the consoles like everyone else, walking around to each location and backing each unit up to a floppy disk. The system was in place for five years and was reliable — but we outgrew it.
Originally, we decided to create a skeleton Ethernet network — our backbone — that would be separate from the building's telecommunications and broadcasting systems. This system would offer us total redundancy of our lines, switches, and consoles. Since lighting supervisor Doug Rae and lighting engineer Doug Franz already had a working topology of the system, it made our console needs very specific, and we needed precise functionality. During the planning stages, we broke the system up into three phases: Phase One included bringing online the Annex (our theatre), placing the first round of purchases, and starting the network connectivity testing process. Phase Two consisted of bringing online our Main Studio, the second round of equipment purchases, and network testing. Phase Three took in Stage 3, the Film and Video studio, three post studios, the Show Kitchen, the digital lab, our office, and the respective dimmers.
Of course, choosing a console is the most important part of any system, let alone an Ethernet network (We planned for 10 consoles). Consoles today have come a long way; however, it's very rare to have one that you can rely on 100%. Before we started shopping, Doug Rae, Doug Franz, and I came up with a list of specific requirements:
A console that could have multiple units, of the same manufacturer, networked together, all running independently of each other;
The ability to control any console, from any location in our network (a flawless master-master relationship);
The ability to backup any console, in any location, without disrupting the live show, separate from the network;
A way to access a certain area of the studio and not affect any other part of the system. This was a key element because we deal with 1,000 dimmers in the Main Studio;
A console that could take over seamlessly, with no interruption, if any other unit were to fail on the network;
A console that could periodically save information locally in case the server crashed;
The ability to have multiple wireless handheld units performing most or all of the functions of the console. This would aid us in troubleshooting, maintenance, and bad line-of-site areas;
A 3D visualization program that could be integrated with all consoles in specific locations. This would help us in pre-lighting larger-than-normal shows. The 3D program would also have to be able to import AutoCAD and 3D Studio Max drawings;
A network dial-up connection, so that engineers from the lighting team, or the manufacturer, could access it directly for troubleshooting.
As always, other items were taken into consideration, including user-friendly qualities (because we would have floor managers, set dressers, scenic people, and interns using it as well), stability, processing speed, expansion, technical support, and so on.
We reached out to many console manufacturers, asking for demos, finding out how fast they could implement what we needed. Surprisingly many of them couldn't, and their consoles didn't have the learning curve we needed. So, having used the MA Lighting grandMA console on previous shows, I contacted Bob Gordon at A.C.T Lighting (the US distributor of the grandMA line) and spoke with him about our goals. Two days later, a grandMA and grandMA Light were sitting in my shop. Shortly after that, Mike Falconer called from A.C.T, and we discussed what we were trying to accomplish and how far this console would be able to take us. At this point, the grandMA could not give us what we wanted; however, the console did offer an amazing user interface, making it quite possibly one of the easiest and best consoles to learn. It also offered a platform that was extremely stable, with amazing processing power. By far, the grandMA was our number-one choice.
Thus we needed to Beta-test our ideas with our new set of grandMAs. The testing was spread over three distinct time frames. First, we were to receive the consoles and determine whether or not they would work for us. Next would be the release of the new software (4.0). The third period would be an ongoing process, to happen every time there was a software update or when we would expand our system.
Our Beta-test area was the Annex. It is basically a small black-box theatre with a couple of pantographs, 20 automated fixtures and about 200 dimmers; it was the least used of our studio areas, which made it the safest. Understand that, working in a live studio, we must be prepared to jump into any studio at any time. This means that all of our consoles stay on, as well as our automated fixtures — we never power them down, unless we're performing maintenance. This created a perfect testing ground-and also an uncommon stress on the consoles. I placed one grandMA on the studio floor — this would be our floor location — and one grandMA Light in our booth for running the shows. They were connected via Ethernet and a powered switch, and I ran them in a tracking backup mode. Whenever I switched control from the floor to the booth (or vice-versa), I had to disconnect them from the tracking backup state and reverse the process, which caused a reload of the current show as well. As tedious as this sounds — and it was — the information that I was able to record and feed back to Mike Falconer was priceless — it helped pave the way to the new networking version of the console.
From the aspect of functionality and reliability, the grandMA was, in terms of traditional console usage, perfect; however, it still didn't meet our network requirements. Clearly, we needed a Master-Master control scenario. Mike and I had many phone conversations about this. The time and persistence paid off when Bob and Mike visited QVC with a special guest, Michael Adenau, founder of MA Lighting, to walk through our studio complex and hear our concerns in person. We met with them for a few days; Michael Adenau made some calls to Germany, we said our goodbyes, and were given a solid handshake then said; they'd try to have a Beta for us by LDI (2001). As MA and A.C.T worked on the nine bullet points that we had given them, they helped us every day, in every situation, making our Beta site a temporary semi-success. MA released a quick version of software for us, Version 3.4, which headed off most of our small network stability issues for the time being.
The grandMA console from MA Lighting has been attracting professional programmers and newcomers because of its hardware environment, including three-color touch screens, free visualization software, motorized faders, complete configurability, hard drive, and Ethernet, among other things. But it was with the advent of Version 4 of the operating software that the console really delivered on "next-generation" capabilities that had not been seen before in a moving-light-capable console.
Top of the list of next-generation features on the grandMA (even above PDA remote control and matrix programming), is multi-user programming. This is where two or more consoles can be connected together by Ethernet, and act as one, but with multiple programmers. All the grandMAs in the "session" have access to all of the fixtures connected to the console and all the cues. This could cause problems, as multiple programmers try to control the same lights or program different cues at the same time.
What makes a system like this workable is a concept called Worlds. A World is a group of fixtures or fixture parameters. When a console is in a World it acts as if those are the only fixtures connected to it. The displays only show those fixtures and, when storing, editing, or deleting, only the fixtures or fixture parameters included in that World are affected. Because changing Worlds is as easy as selecting a group of fixtures, the Worlds system brings flexibility and speed of operation to a multi-user enviroment. Even non-multi-user shows have started to benefit from Worlds as they allow for the sectioning of the consoles allowing programmers to work on several things at once without having to constantly clear or record.
That takes care of programming, but what about playback? There are two options in this multi-user scenario: "In-sync" and "Out-of-sync." When a grandMA is "in-sync," pressing Go on a playback will press Go on any other grandMA in the session that is "in-sync." If a console is "out-of-sync," pressing Go on a playback will not affect any other console and Go on another console will not affect it.
The bottom line is that all of this is at the press of a button (or touch of a touch screen if you prefer) where connected consoles, which share information, can act completely independently or act in concert.
Once we completed our research and Beta-testing, it was time to plan the implementation of the system. It had to happen quickly, but we didn't want to compromise the design or quality of the system (Altogether, the project will take about four years and we anticipate completion in 2004). Having seen Beta versions of MA Lighting's grandMA Version 4.0 software at LDI2002, we knew we'd be challenged with the software's learning curve and possible issues with our system turnover. The team at MA Lighting hit every bullet point on our list, except for the network dial-up connection, which was not a concern at the moment — and came up with an incredible networking plan. Now we were able to split each area into several sessions and have redundant backups. For example, we have a Main Studio session with three grandMA consoles in it, a Stage 3 with one grandMA console in it, and an Annex Session with a grandMA and a grandMA Light in it. This way, we could separate the different areas of our broadcasting locations, and could still leave any session, then join another session on our network, without shutting off the lights in any area.
As we started to receive our new consoles — and to update our older models to Version 4.0 — we tested them in our shop for about two weeks, then placed them in their designated areas. The Annex was completed with two consoles, two Artistic Licence Net Link O/Ps and a 3Comm Wireless Access point. Next, we placed consoles in the Stage 3 area and the Main Studio. The latter would be the most difficult part of the project. We placed three consoles in specific areas that would give our LDs the best sightline while not hindering the other studio operations, keeping in mind that any console would be able to control any area from any location at any given point in time. After all the consoles were placed, we laid down our own temporary network. This was a very delicate process because we had to wait until the live show was out of the area so we could make the necessary changes to the consoles and the network. I placed a hub in one of our broadcast engineering racks in the Main Studio, and from that point we connected three consoles, four Artistic Licence Net Link O/Ps and one 3Comm Wireless Access Point. Our main dimmer racks still use the old DMX lines, but are plugged into one of the Net Link O/P nodes from the Main Studio. This will be implemented when the main cable installation is completed, hopefully within the next two months. With our Main Studio session, our Annex Session, and our Stage 3 Session, this makes up our current lighting network system. When we need to troubleshoot our system, we use Artistic Licence's Net View and DMX Workshop.
So, at the end of the day we have an incredible lighting system that allows us to expand in many different directions with confidence in our work. Now that we're able to sleep once again, we can take on the new projects that appear so frequently on the horizon. As lighting engineers, designers, and programmers, we must always be prepared to push the system in ways that were never intended. Whether it's a set that needs an enormous amount of fixtures or a fully automated lighting system (fixtures that track horizontally and vertically), we now have a system in place that can take us to that next level, which is whatever we can imagine.
