The VoIP Challenge for Alarm Systems Dealers
A look at what dealers, monitoring companies and manufacturers are doing to face the issue of VoIP and alarm system incompatibility
As an alarm dealer and central station monitoring provider, you've got lots to think about already. As if customer retention, finding new prospects, maintaining your RMRs, assessing the new product lines and staying up-to-date on what your competitors are doing to steal your edge isn't enough, there's another issue you'll soon be facing if you haven't already.
Sound the trumpets and raise the drawbridge. The new consumer technology that's here in some metropolitan locations and on the horizon in smaller towns is a thing called VoIP, which stands for voice over Internet protocol. Don't mind the alphabet soup; it's a technical way of saying that your customers can disconnect their phone lines and talk directly using the Internet.
Before you wave this off as just another technology to live with, you should know that it means a lot to your job as an alarm systems dealer. The thing that industry insiders, like Honeywell Security and Custom Electronics's Vice President of Marketing Gordon Hope, will tell you is that VoIP will change how you do business.
In the world of VoIP, you have some solutions providers, such as Vonage, that simply sell customers the hardware that they need to connect to their existing computer and high-speed connection to create a phone system that uses Internet bandwidth. This is called a non-facilities based solution. Then you have the big players - companies like AT&T, Cablevision, Time Warner Calbe and Verizon - that use a facilities-based solution, meaning that the technology isn't in the box you have, but is in their telecom facilities and that they provide you with the high-speed connection too. These are the companies that are doing heavy marketing of VoIP, and it's selling.
Consider the following: A recent offer from Verizon's VoIP division (the service is called Voicewing), promotes VoIP calling for just $29.95 a month when you add that to existing Verizon DSL service, or $34.95 a month by itself. It's a deal that many customers are biting on. With included features like unlimited local and long distance calling, voicemail with email notification, caller ID, three-way calling, a phone/address book that integrates into your PC software, $.05/a minute or less to places like Australia, Aruba, Italy, Canada and Israel, it's not hard to understand why the American public is starting to make the switch from POTS (plain old telephone service) to VoIP.
So what's that have to do with the security industry? Lots, unfortunately.
Here's the kicker to all the good deals, straight from the Verizon website:
"Verizon VoiceWing Service does not support traditional 911 or E911 access to emergency services. The limited emergency response service ("Limited Emergency Response Service") differs in a number of important ways from traditional emergency response services. You must maintain an alternate means of requesting emergency services. An accurate Service Address is required to route your calls to the closest emergency call center in the event that you dial 9-1-1. Verizon VoiceWing Service will not work if power is out. VoiceWing will not support home security systems and cannot be used with satellite television services. Network congestion or use of data services at the same time as VoiceWing might affect sound quality."
The small text, found here by doing a detailed search of the fine print and FAQs, states unequivocably if you plan to use an alarm system with a VoIP system, turn around and walk away - it won't work. And you'll find similar language from the other major providers.
"Customers are oblivious to this fact," says Alan Glasser, president of the Metropolitan Burglar and Fire Alarm Association in New York.
"I called up the PR office of CableVision," explains Glasser, "and was speaking to a woman there and she had an alarm system, which she had never tested. She had VoIP and had no idea that her own company didn't support alarm systems."

Chris Fordney: Parents become Hokies
Ah, college days.
I had thought they were over.
In fact, I had promised myself after walking out of my last college class that I would never again grace the halls of academia. I just felt that my education had been more than adiquate for my porpoises.
But then I became a Hokie dad.
And that's how I found myself back in a college classroom last week for freshman orientation. I'm not the freshman -- my daughter is -- but I had to learn about my responsibilities as a Virginia Tech parent.
Seems a far cry from the day my parents waved me off to college in an oil-burning Chevy station wagon. I showed up with a suitcase, typewriter and a bottle of white-out.
Today's college student arrives on campus in a U-haul stuffed with all the electronic necessities, including a laptop, iPod, cell phone, microwave, microfridge, hair dryer, alarm clock and all the associated peripherals.
One of the administrators pleaded with us to at least check with roommates about duplicating some of this stuff -- no doubt worried about taking down the grid across Southwest Virginia when all these kids fire up their microwaves and hair dryers at the same time in the morning.
All that gear is on top of expenses for tuition and board, which is why officials at last week's event accorded special sympathy and honor to the couple who were shipping off their sixth kid to college. They even got a present of postcards and stamps so they could keep in touch with their final student -- probably the only way they could afford to do so.
Last week's event lasted two days -- my own freshman orientation was a two-hour picnic with faculty -- and covered, among other things, housing, dining, residence life, health, safety, student conduct, sexual assault awareness, substance abuse awareness, academic success, financial aid, career services, fraternity and sorority life, recreational sports, student legal services and the true meaning of the HokieBird.
It started off with an event that had the aura of a rock concert. We were all herded into a large auditorium with flashy lighting, big video screens for the various officials who spoke to us, and a crew of student orientation leaders dressed in maroon and orange outfits.
These kids were great -- a shouting mass of enthusiasm and school spirit guaranteed to bring even the shyest freshman out of his shell. Among the orientation leaders, some of Tech's best students, were Tavia Cawley of Winchester and Frank Waddell of Mt. Jackson.
I'm an alumnus of James Madison University and encouraged both my kids to go there, but they chose Tech. In my several visits to the campus, I've learned why. I have just never run into a current or former Tech student who hasn't loved their time in Blacksburg.
Kate's incoming class has the highest average G.P.A. ever -- 3.93 -- and includes some bright, motivated kids from the Northern Shenandoah Valley. They should do well.
Tech has steadily advanced in recent years -- the tragic events of April 16, 2007, were mentioned but not dwelt upon -- and is a national leader in a number of categories, including first in undergraduate architecture.
My only warning to students is that Tech is also rated highly for its food, so watch out for that "freshman 15."
Cindy and I got a taste of it with an excellent box lunch.
With a turkey sandwich, of course.

I've always been very proud to be a student of Evergreen. Yeah, everything might not be perfect, but when you appreciate the little simple things, then everything seems a bit more different. You walk onto a beautiful campus everyday, with plenty of trees, and modernized buildings. I don't know about you, but I think we have a gorgeous campus, especially when compared to other schools.
When someone says that EV sucks, it really irritates me. I honestly think it's what you make it to be. You can be in the most ugliest place on earth, and still have a good time if you want to have a good time. Sure, you say, "I hate everyone. I hate people in general." Well maybe it's time to change and be a little more open because that's what life is. You're going to have to deal with everyone around you sooner or later. Find something that interests you, and go with that, and maybe school would be more entertaining to you.
I understand, you have those teachers that are absolutely absurd to you and you just can't stand their class. But please, don't go too far with your anger. I hate it so much when students are completely disrespectful and rude to teachers, and it just ruins everything for others. Why do you have to cuss out a teacher? Why do you have to ruin things in their classrooms? You're going to have to suck it up, and just work with what you have. Later on, you'll probably have a boss that you cannot tolerate, but what are you going to do? Just live with it and do what you can.
I remember one time, i was so worried that i couldn't get into a certain room, and a kind janitor comes by and helps me out. He was one of the most friendliest people i have ever met, and was such a sweetheart. It pains me to see people litter at school, or purposely cause these gigantic messes. All of our janitors work so hard in the scorching heat and the bitter cold just to keep our school clean and new. Pick up your trash, there's always one near you, and it only takes a few seconds to go throw your trash away. Pick up after yourselves, and just grow up. No one is here to clean up your messes.
I don't think many people understand how good we have it here at Evergreen. A lot of us try really hard to make it a fun place for you guys, working around the many obstacles that is thrown at us. We work hard to make high school a memorable time for everyone, but it's not a one man job. You have to meet us halfway, and that goes for several things. You have to do your part. Don't complain, and just stand there not doing anything about it. If you want to see some change, you have to start it and not wait for it to magically happen. Appreciate what you have, and be mindful of the things and people around you.

I've started writing daily in a journal. It's rewarding, but I'll never post any of it here. None of you deserve to read it. First of all, it makes no sense. Anything and everything I'm thinking and observing at that very moment are recorded by hand, sometimes in illegible symbols (thoughts are faster than hands). Also, some of the content is personal, too personal to use real names and places. And the fucking journal has no lines so my writing is all slanted and shit. And for some reason I only have blue pens. Who the fuck only has blue pens? I do, that's who, and I'm sick and tired of only seeing blue ink on my pages. I need a pen with black ink that doesn't go dry mid-word then decide to work again when I scribble it on the top right corner of the page. Then I go back to finish the word and, of course, the pen doesn't work again. By this time, the word is fucked and the paper is scratched. That's when I give up and start using blue ink again. Moral of the story: buy an iPad.
Singapore is so beautiful. The landscape, the architecture. I hope one day to visit.
lately i've been thinking about how we limit our own freedom. well, by we, i mean me, but i guess we can spread my observations out over every individual who reads this. i know it's a topic that has been written about extensively, but please don't shut me up quite yet.
let me start by addressing cleanliness. i'm not talking about hygiene, i'm talking about upkeep of your bedroom/apartment/house whatever may apply. i tend to keep my room in a state of organization. this means i spend extra time folding clothes and putting them away in my closet, i put trash in the trash, dirty clothes in the hamper, and put my books back where i picked them up from. i also tend to make my bed. putting in this extra effort may not contribute to my overall health or life experience, but am i limiting my freedom by doing this? am i limiting my freedom by praying slowly, cleaning my room, reading slower so i understand each word, and making my bed every morning?
that's one aspect of freedom i wanted to address. the other: how much should i limit my freedom? we chase these illusions via the internet which makes us chase illusions in our heads. there is way too much information and way too many avenues to quell boredom that it has my mind fucked. this is where we limit our freedom. i need to learn how.
however, in the mean time i'll just sit back and think about how angry you must be at the lack of capitalization.

I realized today just how long it had been since I logged into tumblr or really taken time to check my emails! My apologies but it's been a whirlwind the last five weeks!
We welcomed itty bitty Kismet on March 25, 2014 and have really been focusing on strengthening our family unit and bond. I appreciate emails and messages sent checking on us, I promise I'm not ignoring anyone or ungrateful it has just been really difficult for me to juggle it all. I really can't thank everyone enough and I appreciate you all and miss getting the scoop on all things fandom!
P.S. After everything we battled to get baby here, she was perfectly healthy at 7 pounds 8 ounces and 20.5 inches! I was able to deliver her without medical intervention (or pain medication) despite what the Dr. had thought would happen.

The Dallas Cowboys recently stated they will be running much more than just the typical Tampa 2 defense in 2013. Besides mixing in both man and zone coverage along with the Cover 2 and Cover 3 formations, the Cowboys coaching staff has bluntly stated they will be running a Single High Safety look, similar to what the Seattle Seahawks run. As if that wasn't enough, Defensive Coordinator Monte Kiffin specifically asked his players to study film on the Seattle defense in preparation for 2013. Cornerback Brandon Carr explains,
I kind of asked him (Kiffin)what our philosophy and what the look of our defense was going to be, and as a prime example he said, 'Go see Seattle film and you'll probably learn a lot from those guys and just watch how they move on the field.' That's some homework for me to do for the next couple of weeks."
With so much written on the Tampa 2 it's kind of puzzling why so little has been said of the Seattle Single High that Pete Carroll has been perfecting in the Pacific Northwest. Carroll, a former Kiffin disciple, has been slowly building Seattle's defense over the past three seasons. He took a slow moving 2 gap defense that ranked 25th in the NFL and made it into an aggressive one gap force that ranked #1 in the NFL last year.
The process to change a defense is long. Installing the scheme, the coaches, and the players take time.
Next column we will look at the process Pete Carroll has gone through the past 3 years to get to where he is today – the best defense in the NFL. Seeing what Carroll has done in Seattle could serve as a blueprint in Dallas and give fans an idea of what to expect.
But for today let's look at the key part of his defense and the specific part Monte Kiffin assigned for homework – The Single High Safety. By understanding the role of the single high safety we can see if the solution is on the roster or in this weekend's NFL Draft.
The Single High Safety
The single high safety is an aptly named defense that employs one deep safety in a ball-hawk centerfielder role. If a zone coverage is called then the single high formation becomes essentially a Cover 3. If it's a man defense the corners will play up in man and the safety will provide the Cover 1 element. The other safety plays in the box in both situations, serving as an extra LB in run and pass support.
The in-the-box safety presence allows the 3 LB's and the safety to each be responsible for only one gap. Without having 2 gap responsibilities the LB's only need to read run or pass before fully committing. Without the additional safety in the box this would not be possible and the Cowboys would be vulnerable to the run on the weakside of the formation. 1 gap responsibility improves reaction time and makes a significant difference in run support especially against a running QB in a Pistol offense like RGIII.
For those of you who just had traumatic flashbacks to either of the Redskins games of 2012 this should come as welcomed news. The truth is the running element of the pistol offense is very easy to stop with the single high safety. With the four lineman simply holding their gaps and their containment responsibilities, the LB's and the shallow (strong) safety are able to play single gap and stop the pistol offense with ease.
The only problem is RGIII is an excellent passer and can beat teams with his arm also. In 2012 the single high scheme shut down RGIII's running but he made teams pay for their poor coverage. According to ESPN's Dan Graziano's late season column,
He has completed nearly two-thirds of his passes on throws more than 10 yards downfield against single-safety coverage, and fewer than half against split-safety coverage.
You may be asking, "If RGIII excels against the Single High Safety why would the Cowboy's want to use it?" The reason RGIII succeeded wasn't because the single high concept was wrong but rather because it wasn't executed correctly. RGIII may have done well against most single high safeties but against the Seattle defense he only managed 84 yards passing and 21 yards rushing. That's good for a 33.9 QBR.
The single high safety stacks the line of scrimmage and forces teams to play one-dimensionally. The pressure is placed on the cornerbacks (Carr and Claiborne) and the deep safety (Church, Johnson, or "other"). If Mo Claiborne takes the expected step forward in his development this season, the Cowboys should be well equipped to stop the pass from the CB perspective. The safety side of things is the scary part. Barry Church is easy to love but largely unproven. Matt Johnson is even more unproven. If the Cowboy's employ the Single High Safety in 2013 they better be sure they are covered in centerfield.
Finding the Safety
One of the more difficult roles to fill in Kiffin's previous defenses was the roles of the safety. The two deep safeties needed to be both reliable tacklers and ball hawks. Cowboy fans know all too well this combination is very hard to find.
Carroll's defense asks for a disciplined deep safety to play centerfield and a separate safety who excels in run support rather than coverage. One dimensional safeties are much easier to find than a traditional "complete" run/pass safety like Ed Reed. Since Gerald Sensabaugh was rated one of the worst NFL safeties in run support, it's easy to see why he was cut now. He was never very good as a ball hawk and he was awful against the run. He just didn't fit this new single high safety scheme.
Can Matt Johnson be that in-the-box safety the Cowboys need? Is Barry Church the reliable deep safety? Is it the other way around? We know so little of these guys who really knows? What we do know is these roles will be much easier to fill in a system like Pete Carroll's.
Most will agree finding the ball-hawking Free Safety more difficult than finding the run-stopping Strong Safety. The Cowboy's will certainly be looking to the draft to cover themselves in case Church and Johnson prove to be better in the box than in centerfield.

By Timothy J. Keating – Volatility is the arch-enemy of the new issue market: There is typically a strong inverse relationship between volatility and the number of IPO pricings.
And 2014 thus far, compared to 2013, has been a volatile year. So we thought it would be timely to check in on the IPO market to see how it's doing. Answer: quite well, thank you very much.
Let's set the stage with some numbers.
IPO market expansion has historically taken place in modest volatility environments, where the CBOE Volatility Index (or "VIX Index") has been in the range of 10 to 20. By contrast, there are typically strong positive relationships between both recent IPO performance and equity market trends and the number of IPO pricings.
The average daily VIX Index closing value for all of 2013 was 14.2, and the 10-year average (2003-13) was 20.3. As of December 31, 2013, the VIX Index closed at 13.7, with a high and low during 2013 of 20.5 and 11.3, respectively. (For historical perspective, the VIX set an all-time high of 80.9 on November 20, 2008—in the heat of the financial crisis.)
On Monday, February 3, 2014, the VIX closed at a 13-month high of 21.4.
Of course, the level of the VIX is an abstraction to many, including market professionals. Another common way of viewing volatility is through the lens of triple digit point swings in the Dow Jones Industrial Average. In 25 out of the 26 trading days in 2014 (through February 7th), the Dow has had intra-day moves of at least 100 points. Certainly volatile by that measure, although with an increasing denominator a 100 point swing isn't nearly as dramatic in percentage terms as say 25 years ago.
And with all this volatility, the IPO market is…off to a blockbuster start. (Note: Except where noted, all IPO data in this article are sourced from Renaissance Capital and based on their calculation methodology.)
• There have been 27 IPOs priced year-to-date, a 59% increase from this time last year.
• The total gross proceeds raised in IPOs have been $6.2 billion, a 17% increase from this time last year.
• There have been 33 IPO filings year-to-date, a 230% increase from this time last year.
• The average IPO has returned 18% year-to-date (from its offer price). By contrast, the year-to-date return on the S&P 500 is -2.8%.
• And one IPO—Dicerna Pharmaceuticals (DRNA)—had a first day pop of 207%. The stock has since dropped to a point where it is only up 136% year-to-date.
2013 is hardly a soft year for comparison. In fact, by almost every measure it was the best year for IPOs since 2000.
Investment banking soothsayers on Wall Street tell companies that are planning to go public that IPO windows are temporary and fleeting. They are dead wrong.
We published a myth-busting white paper last year ("IPO Window: Open 79% of the Time") that empirically demonstrated, and contrary to conventional wisdom, that the IPO market is in fact systemically open most of the time. The robust start to the IPO market in 2014 is just another data point dispelling this Wall Street shibboleth.
The explanation for the strength of the IPO market is a simple, one word answer: Growth.
Large public companies are struggling to grow their top lines. In a slow growth economy with full stock market valuations and no competition from fixed income, public investors are—and almost assuredly always will be—willing to pay a premium for the 20-30%+ expected revenue growth that is typical of many venture capital-backed technology companies that have recently gone public.
And lest you think that somehow the early start of the year has been an aberration, there are nine companies hoping to price IPOs in the upcoming week. Let the good times roll…in spite of volatility.

Innovative food
How do Chowhounds feel about restaurants like the one described in this article?
I consider myself very adventurous, but it would take a good deal to drag me into on of these establishments. I am a little surprised at how strongly I feel about it.
For example, "a course simply called "liquid," which is peach dipped in liquid hydrogen" seems entirely antithetical to everything food should be.
That said, I also find people with knee-jerk "natural is automatically always better" reactions supremely irritating. I'm all for the forward march of science -- but why this? Why?
I want delicious food, which may or may not be innovative. The term "liquid" does nothing to stimulate my appetite but makes me strongly consider kicking the chef in the shin.
I would *love* to eat at El Bulli. Adria is taking cooking to a different level, analyzing the nature of taste and texture in ways different from what is commonly accepted. It may not be to everyone's taste, but I applaud his creativity.
Anthony Bourdain did a show recently, shown on the Travel Channel, on Ferran Adria. I found it very interesting, particularly near the end when Adria says he's trying to stimulate the memory of taste - taking foods which are familiar and tweaking them so we taste them again in ways which are fresh and new.
re: cheryl_h
I agree... and I saw the same show and was TOTALLY entralled... I'd always heard about the El Bulli experience, but to see it and in such detail, it made it on my must try list for sure... :)
However, this type of 'food manupulation' maybe more common than we think in even our neighborhood joints. On Iron Chef America, You see chefs on occassion using Xanthan and Citric Acid among other ingredients and tools of food science...
re: Das Ubergeek
No one is experimenting on the diners. :)
re: Darren72
Who was the first one to serve "flavoured air" to guests before Adrià? Unusual foams?
I call that experimentation.
re: Das Ubergeek
What do you mean by "experiment". The dishes are thought out beforehand, and then served...just like in every other restaruant. What's so hard to grasp?
I enjoy new things and would absolutely love to eat at El Bulli. I concede that I might not want to repeat some of the dishes, but would certainly enjoy experiencing the different textures and flavors.
I would like to be receptive to a multitude of food adventures and open my mind to new adventures in eating.
Unfortunately, I'm not sure a visit to Spain is in my near future!
I truly don't mean to sound like a pretentious prig....I just like trying new things!
Although i'm certainly in support of innovation, and the prospect of finding new and different flavors is thrilling - i can't help but feel that much of this food veers away from the whole point of eating in the first place: to survive and vitalize your body.
Personally, i would eat at El Bulli, or restaurants like it, perhaps once for the experience. But I enjoy food that sates my hunger while also sustaining my health with antioxidants, omega 3s, and complete proteins - which will last far longer than the flavor from those few bites of, oh say "bacon and egg ice cream" (on the menu at "the fat duck" in Britain).
Its great for novelty and innovation, but not for living on a day to day basis, and because of that it seems this type of food will also be an elite experience and never reach the main public.
re: chefinthecity
Yes, the cost is prohibitive, it's unlikely that the general public would be willing to eat $300 meals everyday.
re: chefinthecity
It clearly isn't meant to be eaten on a day-to-day basis. Neither is the more traditional food one finds at, say, Charlie Trotters or Mario Battalis restaurants. Most high end restaurants (or, most restaurants, for that matter) are not meant to be every day type of restaurants. The food is clearly too heavy on fats.
I'm not sure one should think about avant guarde cuisine as whether it can be eaten every day.
re: Robert Lauriston
What's your point? Do you honestly think Adria is doing this because he can't get fresh ingredients? Check out the Bourdain show if you want to learn about his motivation.
re: Darren72
I'm sure Blumenthal didn't presume to speak for Adria. Here's the article, figure out for yourself what he meant:
There are restaurants in the U.S. that are doing similar things, perhaps not as good or to the same extent as Adria. See WD-50 in NYC, Alinea in Chicago, and Moto in Chicago, to name a few.

The Great Valerio Lyrics - The Fatima Mansions
(Lyrics / Music--Richard Thompson) Published by Warlock Music Ltd.
High up above the crowd
the great Valerio is walking
The rope seems hung from cloud to cloud
and time stands still as he is walking
His eye is steady on the target
His foot is sure upon the rope
Alone and peaceful as a mountain
and certain as a mountain slope
We falter at the sight
We stumble in the mire
Fools who think they see the light
Prepare to balance on the wire
But we learn to watch together
and feed on what we see above
until our hearts turn like the seasons
sponsored linksand we are acrobats of love
How we wonder, how we wonder, watching down below
We would all be that great hero
The Great Valerio
So come all you upstart jugglers
Are you really ready yet?
Who will help the tightrope walker
when soon he tumbles to the net?
So come with me to see Valerio
as he dances through the air
I'm your friend until you use me
and then be sure I won't be there

Reports suggest five ways to to make change happen
Nowhere is getting the right information at the right time more critical than in the area of national security — defense, intelligence, diplomacy and so on. And people working in the government know all too well the consequences of not having such information available in a timely manner. So it is perhaps unsurprising that researchers are now publishing reports about the new field of information sharing and national security at a rapid clip. Shortly after my paper with Linton Wells II titled "Social Software and National Security: An Initial Net Assessment" was published by the National Defense University, James Jay Carafano's "Social Networking and National Security: How to Harness Web 2.0 to Protect the Country" was published by the Heritage Foundation. Both papers generally agree that although there are completely reasonable concerns about network security and information assurance, the costs of not sharing information can outweigh the cost of sharing it.Now, the Markle Foundation's Task Force on National Security in the Information Age has written "Nation At Risk: Policy-Makers Need Better Information to Protect the Country," which reaffirms ideas in the NDU and Heritage reports. Interestingly, the Markle report focuses on five simple recommendations that center on leadership to change bureaucracy, enforce already existing rules, and seize the moment to make change happen. Along with my brief commentary, they are: 1. Reaffirm information sharing as a top priority. Sharing information with people who need it is, in principle, what the government practices. But a variety of cultural, organizational and individual barriers stand in the way in many cases. Strong top-down leadership is necessary to crack this problem and create an environment of "need to share" or "responsibility to provide" rather than "need to know."2. Make government information discoverable and accessible to authorized users by increasing the use of commercial technology. It's impossible to predict what bits of information will be useful to specific people at specific times. Private-sector Web 2.0 technology can be used or adapted for information discovery in the government. 3. Enhance security and privacy protections to match the increased power of shared information. Information sharing has a downside: the information is being shared. Important steps with regard to ensuring information security and protecting personal privacy or sensitive information are imperative and must be balanced against a need to share.4. Transform the information-sharing culture with metrics and incentives. It's difficult to measure the value of editing one sentence of a wiki or sharing a link on Yammer. Individuals should be accountable for their sharing, the behavior should be transparent, and metrics for individual contributions should be created to measure modern performance.5. Empower users to drive information sharing by forming communities of interest. Important topics cannot always be dictated by a memo from the top down. Users should have permission to create communities of interested individuals who follow relevant topics, and they should have technologies such as social networks that enable and extend this. Information technology underlies information sharing. But hardware and software are not the central problem, nor even the primary solution — people are. Changes in workplace culture will empower people to use tools that already exist to do their jobs — and ultimately to serve the country — better.

More than three years after winning the war against the LTTE, the Sri Lankan Army retains an overwhelming presence in the North and East of the island, deploying 16 out of its 19 divisions in the Tamil-dominated regions. Information available with The Hindu indicates that besides three divisions in Jaffna, there are three each in Killinochchi and Mullaithivu, while five divisions are stationed in Vavuniya. Another two divisions are deployed in the East. Three divisions are headquartered in southern Sri Lanka.
When it first emerged that Britain had knowingly allowed terrorist suspects to be illegally rendered to third party states to be tortured in the early half of the last decade the story made national headlines. How could Britain, a supposedly liberal democracy and bastion of human rights, deliberately allow someone to be transported towards regimes they knew would abuse them?
In a report published on Sunday, rights groups TAG (Tamils Against Genocide), called for a 'comprehensive re-evaluation of the UK government's current policy towards asylum applicants' of Tamils from the island of Sri Lanka. Publishing 27 recent asylum appeal determinations, with extensive analysis, TAG highlighted that 26 of the 27 claims were of egregious torture, and were "found credible under the most stringent adversarial review".
The federal court system will be on a stronger financial footing through increased funding and changes to fee structures.Attorney-General Nicola Roxon announced the changes today, which were foreshadowed in the 2012 Budget."These measures will ensure our courts can deliver key services, including regional circuit work, which are vital for disadvantaged litigants and small businesses," Ms Roxon said.
The U.S. and its allies are embarking on another regime change operation. Before they started their attacks on the Libyans, they admitted that there would be civilians casualities in an act of irony. They claim to be acting to save civilians, but they will be killing them.
I note with some irony the hosannas greeting the UN Security Council resolution establishing a no-fly zone over Libya.The rationale for this resolution is that the dictator Moammar Gadhafi is shooting his own people and refusing democratic reforms. Granted, he is.

Saudi invasion on Dubai Eid – One million and counting
During the celebrated period of EID, Dubai is expecting to welcome one million visitors from Saudi Arabia...
October 8, 2012 2:05 by Muhammad Aldalou
In light of this year's stretched EID celebration and preparation, the Dubai Events and Promotions Establishment expects to see an influx of one million visitors from Saudi Arabia.
Ibrahim Saleh, during a conference at the Four Seasons Hotel in the Kingdom, told the newsmen that Dubai expects record-breaking numbers of visitors this year.
"The cosmopolitan city hosts more than 200 nationalities that coexist in exceptional harmony and despite different orientations and cultural backgrounds, residents and visitors in Dubai come together to share joyous moments during different festivities hosted all year round. 'Eid in Dubai' is another valuable addition that will enhance the spirit of the city," he said, quoted by Arab News.
It is a relatively known (and seen) fact that nationals and expatriates residing in the Kingdom have a fondness for the neighbouring UAE, particularly during the holiday season. Considering the elaborate celebrations that Dubai has reserved for this year, the record is set to beat last year's 800,000 during the four-day Ramadan festival.
This year, under the direction of the emirate's ruler HH Sheikh Mohammed Al Maktoum, the EID celebrations will be extended from the usual 4 day program to a two week one. During the period, shopping malls will be open 24/7 to accommodate the heavy influx of tourists and residents.
"Dubai is a platform for diverse cultures to celebrate the festival with people from the neighbouring countries especially from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia visiting the region in frequent numbers. Eidyat Dubai is a special campaign this year with extended shopping hours at malls." Said Mr. Eisa Adam, Managing Director & Past President, Dubai Shopping Malls Group.
Emirates Airline, Dubai's national carrier has 17 weekly flights from the Kingdom and one flight daily to both Dammam and Al Madinah. Residents residing in GCC countries, particularly those with certain job categories (although did not state which), will be granted an entry visa.
"We will follow the prevailing regulations to give entry visas to expatriates living as residents in the GCC countries including the Kingdom," said Captain Jassim Ahli from the Department of Naturalization and Residency in Dubai.
Kipp would like to hear from you. Are you excited to see the streets of Dubai flooded with Saudi Arabian visitors or will it cause a great inconvenience in terms of traffic and crowd?

Visitors flocking the emirate of Dubai is a natural phenomenon considering the kind of attractions the city-state has to offer; that's beside the economic and commerce model Dubai has intelligently positioned.
Visistors are welcome as long as they realise that there is a certain aspect called traffic rules that exist in the emirate. You cannot drive as if red lights are colours on the street and the no U-turn means just that. Along with your thousands of rials worth shopping, please invest in a GPS even if it is not the most updated, at least it will make driving for the rest of us on the road a little less traumatic…

City Manager Milton Dohoney Jr. ends his almost 7 1/2-year tenure in the job at midnight Saturday. After he leaves City Hall the last time, he won't be commenting publicly about how the city's doing or the job the next city manager's doing.
His parents and grandmothers taught him better, he said at a final interview he gave today to a group of Cincinnati media reporters.
"I will never utter a public comment about whoever sits in that chair," he said, sitting at his office conference table. "I am a product of my upbringing…My grandmothers taught me how to conduct yourself, how to maintain your integrity."
That's just his personality – in his 20-plus years as a city manager (he was in Louisville and Lexington before Cincinnati), he thinks he raised his voice twice. His staff members know he respects them, he said, and they do good work in return. So raising his voice "just isn't necessary."
He did say that no matter what, he thinks city leaders have to structurally balance their budget.
He plans to take some time off before looking for a new city somewhere that isn't cold. Neither he nor his wife cares for cold weather.
As for whether his phone is ringing already, he said: "No comment."

Travel Photo of the Day: Sopes
Sopes are a popular corn-based food in Mexico
Today on The Daily Meal
City Guides
Most Popular
Mexican cuisine is known for its creative uses of corn, with one of the simplest and most delicious being small fried corn cakes known as sopes.
Click here to see the Travel Photo of the Day Slideshow!
Traditional sopes are made with three ingredients: water, masa harina (corn flour that has been treated with lime), and salt. It's generally a one-to-one flour-to-water ratio that is formed into small balls before being flattened out into a small cake that is about 5 inches in diameter.
These cakes are then fried on a hot griddle before being topped with refried beans, a choice of several types of meat (usually either pork, beef, or chicken), lettuce, tomatoes, and crema, or Mexican sour cream.
