Video Surveillance during Sporting Events
Reliable surveillance equipment is a very principal element of the total security efforts each organization or company puts forward to protect life and property. The ability to survey and detect an illegal activity before an intrusion or crime is committed, saves costs towards theft and large scale property damage. Surveillance cameras greatly contribute to security and protection of businesses. The options and range of available surveillance cameras has encouraged their deployment in more locations, areas and facilities. The latest researches in this area have elevated levels of security monitoring and management and helped thwart the activities of even the most experienced and sophisticated thieves and criminals.
Click here for more information on VGA Grid
Epiphan's network broadcasting and recording solutions comply with multiple types of surveillance systems and can be integrated with CCTV equipment. The VGA Grid fits different environmental settings and is successfully used in many challenging circumstances. This high-customized solution is delivered in various configurations according to the customer's needs based on each unique situation.
Video surveillance plays a principal role in provision of safety and security during sporting events. The threat of criminal activity is very high and it is important that all facilities are properly monitored. The flow of people is constant increasing the risk of incidents. With the proper surveillance the game can be enjoyed worry free. The VGA Grid provides credible surveillance capabilities giving event organizers and security officials a great means to monitor suspicious behaviour and deter crimes.
This appliance can capture video from both local and remote video sources (e.g. CCTV cameras) in a high resolution and broadcast it through the network. An administrator combines multiple input signals into configurable channels using the Web admin interface. This customized broadcast is then presented on a large display or video wall in a control room, recorded as one file or separate files – for each source.
Surveillance technology enables the security department to monitor and record footage from cameras from remote locations in a comfortable way. Due to VGA Grid's capabilities this high-responsive appliance is a practical mechanism for successful achieving these goals. Easy-to-use interface and high degree of customization together with powerful video converting capabilities allow this solution to provide proper video surveillance. It helps to prevent major concerns related to security during sporting events.

Alright, Nebraska basketball fans. If you still questioned whether or not Tim Miles has already bumped the program into national relevance, the nail's in the coffin.
Jordan Cornish, a highly-coveted shooting guard who was released from his National Letter of Intent by Tennessee, will be making his decision on May 20. He's visiting Lincoln May 11-12 before taking a trip to UNLV from May 16-18.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, three days in Vegas. Make of that what you will.
This in and of itself isn't such a big deal, but how it's going down is classic football recruiting procedure.Cornish's decision will be coming to you live!
http://t.co/ilqqxB0KiU will live stream the @JordanCornish5_ college announcement on May 20 at 3:15 pm #UNLV #Nebrasketball #Wake Forest
— Andrew Lopez (@_Andrew_Lopez) May 6, 2014
Now, if this makes Nebraska basketball fans nervous, that's understandable. It's new sports territory and recruiting announcements haven't always been favorable for the Big Red, but have hope, Huskers. Former Oregon forward Ben Carter made an announcement on Monday that he's transferring to UNLV.
Why is this worth mentioning? Because it means that the Runnin' Rebs have zero scholarships left. So, why is Cornish still tripping?
Maybe he's legitimately interested in somehow wedging himself onto the roster. Maybe he isn't going to turn down a free three-day weekend in Vegas like so many of us wouldn't.
Most prognosticators feel it's between Nebraska and UNLV at this point. On one hand, you have a program that has scholarships available. It can also offer far more in the way of playing time, facilities and overall support in one of the nation's best conferences. On the other hand you have one that…well, can't. the choice seems obvious.
However, if logic's ever entered college (insert sport here) recruiting, I've yet to see it. Synchronize watches.

Via Strollerderby, we find that some lactivists aren't happy about a new onesie on Old Navy shelves that reads, "Formula Powered." In response, folks like Cate Nelson at Eco Child's Play are telling moms they should boycott the store (and their accompanying Gap, Banana Republic, etc.) until they take the onesie down, which they say is empowering the formula industry. Nelson says:
We all know breastfeeding is best for baby…and mama. Formula simply isn't the healthy option. So, why doesn't Old Navy know it?
I'm no mama, but I am a breastfeeding advocate, believe in a mother's right to breastfeed in public and at work, and am aware of how much the formula industry and larger culture today can stigmatize breastfeeding. But how effective will boycotting Old Navy for a onesie that's — quite simply, in jest — be? After all, this onesie is bought by moms who may need to make light of a not-so-ideal decision they had to make. Paula Bernstein at Strollerderby addresses this while talking about her own feelings of guilt when she told her lactivist friends that she breastfed and used formula. She says,
"Breast may be best, but it's not helpful to stand in judgment of those moms who can't or don't want to breastfeed."
Would love to hear from some moms on this. Thoughts?

More example sentences

As a result we feel that the article did not accurately represent how funds are allocated. Movember is incredibly proud of its low fundraising ratio which we work hard to achieve, as in reality the Irish Movember campaign's fundraising costs are 6% not 23% as stated. We believe this ratio demonstrates our commitment to ensuring that maximum funds are directly invested in men's health programmes across Ireland and the world…"

truTV PRESENTS: WORLD'S DUMBEST: Kayak Concussion
Posted by truTV on Apr. 27, 2011
Posted by truTV on Apr. 27, 2011
Someone should take the "comedians" and shoot them dead. Then give the kayak guy a medal for being remotely entertaining. Nothing ruins a video quite like commentary from has-beens and never-wases
i think the real dumbasses are those commentary ppl in this kinda shows n think they are funny... "comedian" jeah right, i must be comedian too cuz i just cracked a joke n nobody laught..
Who are these douchebags? This was probably a perfectly good video without the blow-by-blow commentary.
Why are these people commentating this video? They think they're funny by making fun of him but it's actually pathetic.. "You put the kayak in the water!" - shut up
I love the wannabe has been comedians
break stole it from tru tv
That's the Union Flag of Great Britain that pops up there. Error! It should be the St.George flag of England.
toilet paper guy needs to be put down for his faggieness
Lame, I hate these kind of shows. They should have stayed as "courtTV" in my opinion.
"Thank you, England... For proving that you don't have to be an american to be a hillbilly." - So... It's genetic, right?
that's not an outhouse. you don't get outhouses in england
It's all fun and games until somebody gets a gaping wound on the side of an outhouse.....then it's HYSTERICAL!
Lol, American TV always has to explain everything to its braindead audience.
truTV PRESENTS: WORLD'S DUMBEST: Break pays twice for the same video.
Those "comedians" can all go f.uck themselves....
Next time they should hire Break trolls to do the commentary.
I guess I'm missing a lot on TV these days
Yes, I know, I have no avatar.
That wasn't funny the first, second or third time I saw it, months ago.
Good thing those washed up celeb fags were there to tell me how funny this was.
One step closer to deleting My account
Wow break. a new level of gayness you have hit...
fvck I hate those low level comedians trying to say witty comments so that they might become big shots one day, YOU ARE AWFUL SCUM AND YOU SUCK SO MUCH YOU AGREED TO DO THIS! Seriously, are you proud of yourselfs?
i would watch this show if the celebrities would shut up
Is this like Break's comment system...but on TV?
Exactly what I want to see when watching FAIL videos. A bunch of NOBODIES explaining what's going on in the video to me. And btw, Break posting truTV videos? That HAS to be a new low for you guys. What next? America's Funniest Home Videos?
look at that Union Jack...best bloody flag of the World !
He died.
En Español por favor....gracias!
It's for our Mexican immigrants, who don't understand the White Man's ways.
Thanks for letting us know.

Indiana Tech hears educations new realities
When Arthur Levine set out to write his third book examining American college students, he assumed the generation born in the first half of the 1990s would be mostly shaped by 9/11. But thousands of surveys and interviews revealed something else: Today's college students are products of the digital generation.
The discovery prompted the president emeritus of the Teachers College at Columbia University and his co-author, Illinois State professor Diane R. Dean, to dub today's students digital natives. An upbringing that coincides with the explosion of the World Wide Web shaped students demanding much of college faculty and staff, including the Indiana Tech audience who heard Levine and Dean present their findings during two campus sessions Thursday.
Douglas P. Clark, Indiana Tech's vice president for academic affairs, invited the researchers to Fort Wayne after faculty and staff collectively read Generation on a Tightrope: A Portrait of Today's College Student last summer.
Some of the book's findings:
89 percent are optimistic about their personal future, but just 35 percent are optimistic about the nation's future.
19 percent of students text, email, call or visit their parents three times a day or more.
27 percent have asked a parent to intervene on their behalf with a professor or employer.
67 percent say the chief benefit of college is increased wages, compared to 44 percent in 1976.
9 percent have grades of C or lower, but 45 percent have taken remedial courses.
47 percent say they have hooked up or had casual sex.
The findings serve more than college personnel, Levine said in an interview.
Every piece of this has implications for K-12, he said. We said they are weak in basic skills; those are things that really should be taught earlier. We said they are global in orientation but they really don't know anything about the globe; that ought to be taught earlier. The teaching of creativity, continuous learning, critical thinking need to be part of that. Teaching kids to fail is part of that.
Dean observed that the result of schools teaching to the test is a generation of college students learning to the test, evidenced by their demands on college faculty for only the class content they will be tested on, with little interest in learning for the sake of greater knowledge.
For employers, the book can explain why new graduates expect keys to the kingdom on the day they arrive and believe that their ideas are better than those of coworkers – the result of parenting and schooling a sticker generation in which ordinary behavior is honored as exceptional achievement. Their dependence on parents manifests itself there, as well.
One of my favorite examples: Parents Day at Goldman Sachs – parents coming in to ask about benefits, ask about retirement, about continuing education and the like, Dean said.
Overall, the co-authors' message is optimistic: Understanding who their students are, colleges can build on strengths and address shortcomings.
This is an education institution, said Levine, who is now president of the Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation. We have an opportunity to educate them and open them to the issues. That's true of schools and colleges and communities. Government has the capability to increase interest and involvement and we have an opportunity to teach students what is possible.
For safetys sake, remain patient with delays
School cancellations inevitably draw complaints from observers who believe they are unwarranted. An incident this week in a St. Joseph County school district, however, is a good reminder of why school officials should err on the side of caution.
A middle school student in New Carlisle was injured Friday after she was struck by a car at a school bus stop. The 13-year-old was taken to the hospital, but her injuries weren't believed to be serious.
New Carlisle town marshal Jeff Roseboom told the South Bend Tribune that the girl and several other children were crossing the street to catch the bus when a motorist tried to stop but slid on snow-covered pavement and struck her.
With weeks of winter weather ahead, expect more school delays and cancellations. If you're wondering why some are necessary, think of the school officials who have to make calls that could mean the difference between life and death.

Player Profile:
Position: Point Guard
Size: 6-foot-4 180 pounds
High School and Travel Team: Roberts Vaux High School and Philly Pride
Recruiting Rankings:
ESPN's 17th ranked prospect and 3rd ranked PG
Rivals.com's 20th ranked prospect and 3rd ranked PG
247Sports 52nd ranked prospect and 10th ranked PG
Scout.com's 45th ranked prospect and 9th ranked PG
Rysheed Jordan is a big point guard who plays the game at a high level. He has excellent handles and is an efficient play-maker at the point. His quickness makes him a great slasher and his sturdy frame allows him to finish at the rim while absorbing contact. He has a solid pull-up jumper that he can create with his speed and ball handling ability and has range out to the 3-point line. He is also an excellent defender who isn't afraid to get into the thick of the action to fight for rebounds. "The full-court, up tempo attacking system of play is suited for my game" says Jordan, which is the signature style Lavin has installed at St. John's.
"A big, physical lead guard, Jordan is a competitive and tough prospect. During his high school career he's spent time both on and off the ball, but as his high school career has progressed so has his ability to play the lead guard spot. He's a strong driver that plays well through contact and gets to the rim well." Scout.com
"His competitive spirit, intelligence, innate basketball instincts and skillful play set him apart from the other prospects in the 2013 Class. Rysheed is an ideal fit for our particular style of play and he will have an opportunity to contribute immediately to our program's pursuit of becoming a consistent winner." – Coach Steve Lavin
Jordan's jump shot can be suspect at times, but for the most part he is a sound shooter. Beyond that, which is something you can say for almost any recruit, there is hardly a blemish on this kid. He has the size, handles, speed, intensity and determination to be an elite guard on both ends of the floor.
Nicknamed "The Prince of North Philly" by national and local media outlets, Jordan averaged 24.8 points, 6.1 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 3.3 steals his senior season of high school, leading Vaux to the PIAA Class A (Pennsylvania) state championship. He will likely jump in immediately and be the Johnnies' starting point guard with D'Angelo Harrison playing beside him at the 2. He has everything one would want in a point guard from his physical presence to his mental focus to evolve into a great point guard at the collegiate level. If he stumbles, Phil Greene and Jamal Branch will be there to provide depth and experience, but all signs point to him grabbing the reigns and running with it from day 1.

This is the best ping pong / table tennis shot I have ever seen. Based on the look of the guy who got beaten on the point, he hadn't ever seen anything like this either. In the immediate aftermath of the shot, there is a brief moment where he maybe wants the shot to be called illegal. Then he just accepts that he had something awesome happen against him, so he applauds the shot. If there was ever actual cause for one of those excessive ping pong celebrations, this shot is it.

Good and bad: Listening to music so engaging that I'm completely unable to write coherently. Finishing a wonderful book with two hours left on one's outbound flight.
This week takes me to a large westerly near-coastal city. A funeral. A young man not of my acquaintance but close to a young man who works for me. Cause of death totally unknown, unexplained, and unexplainable. I have explained to my own children only that I am going and why I am going, steering the conversation away from why and how and what happened to this very healthy young man in his sleep. We can understand car accidents—a risk whenever we get on the road—and drug or alcohol poisoning. Cancer, so tragic, but it's a disease and we can put it in a category in our brains and file it away*. Sudden strokes, clots of all stripes, unknown heart defects discovered in autopsy: these are frightening and shocking but can be processed and understood.
Unknown cause of death cannot be understood. We cannot find a way to understand healthy young people going to bed and not waking up.
The brevity of this life has, as such, been brought to my attention recently. Everything I could be doing is newly automatically prioritized A, B, C (a la Covey), and I'm doing a lot more A stuff and a lot less extraneous crap. Biking with the kids to the bookstore for special evening story time gets moved to the top of the list. Tidying the rec room is definitely a C activity. I find myself having more patience with the kids, more willingness to sit and listen. Things I had been putting on the Someday When I Get Around To It list are moving up. Others are sliding off; not even enough value to keep them on the maybe list.
I think I want to move writing back up the list of things to do, but writing hasn't made that automatic leap upward. Maybe because I already spend a lot of time in front of a computer or because I continue to have pain in my hands. Maybe I'm not really a writer, or maybe my writing energy is being sapped during the work day. I can tell you that I have a renewed interest in beauty. I don't really know what this means other than to say that it's not about personal grooming or fashion. It's about taking a run (jog/walk) down by the river and spotting a turtle on a log (word of advice: they will swim away if you cluck at them like they're cats). It's about the way the light hits the tops of the trees after dinner. It's the look in your kids' eyes when they're soaking wet and covered with grass after playing in the sprinkler with friends. It's honesty and kindness between friends, and it's a warm conversation between strangers.
It's making sure the people around you know that you're standing behind them, acknowledging grief and sharing warmth.
Grief is a dark, dark place. I can be a tiny star to serve as a reminder of the sun.

Who to pick for Super Sunday?
by Olly on October 27, 2013
This week sees two of the most exciting games in the Premier League this season, with the rip-roaring North East Derby Sunderland vs Newcastle, and the clash of the titans, Chelsea vs Manchester City.
So who are the top 5 players to pick in these games?
These are my 5.
Sunderland Vs Newcastle
Loic Remy – Remy has made 5 starts this season for Newcastle, notching 5 goals in the process. The French international has been sensational for Alan Pardew, and continues to display the quality he showed towards the end of last season with Q.P.R. With the Black Cats defence conceding 9 goals in their last 3 games, including 4 last week to Swansea, they will struggle to keep a man of Remy's class out.
Yohan Cabaye – Newcastle's talisman is producing the kind of form that saw Arsenal try to steal him away from St James's earlier this year. He's already scored two unbelievable goals against both Merseyside teams, and is at the centre of everything good that comes from Newcastle.
Hatem Ben Arfa – Last week Pardew opted to give this man a free role in the centre of attack, which caused Liverpool all sorts of bother. A player who can get a goal out of nothing.
Craig Gardner – A player who always shows a lot of spirit, which Sunderland will need if they are to stand any chance of winning. Will never shy from a tackle, has a great right peg and takes penalties.
Steven Fletcher – Having recovered from a shoulder dislocation, which has put him out most the season so far, Fletcher could be the key to Sunderland staying up if he can get a good run of form going. He scored 34 goals in all competitions last year, and is a class finisher who will trouble Newcastle's shaky defence.
Chelsea Vs Manchester City
Sergio Aguero – Has been in great form recently, scoring 5 goals in his last 3 games. He's also showed that he can perform on the big stage when he bagged 2 in the Manchester Derby earlier this season. With the man in such scintillating form, the Chelsea defence will have to be in top nick to keep him under wraps.
Oscar – Arguably Chelsea's best performer this season, he's been the creative spark in Chelsea's play, scoring an impressive 5 goals in the process.
Branislav Ivanovic – The solid right back has been easily Chelsea's biggest attacking threat from defence this season. Strong in the air, he's netted once already against Aston Villa and has a knack of scoring in the big games.
Yaya Toure – A man who relishes the big occasion, has proved deadly from set pieces this year, and with the addition of Fernandinho to the team has been given the licence to go and join the attack as he pleases.
David Silva – Has been putting in a string of great performances recently, reminiscent to the ones he produced in City's title winning year. Scored and made an assist in his last game in the league against West Ham, the midfielder seems to have a telepathic link with Sergio Aguero at times.

Sportech and Picklive Announce US Daily Fantasy Sports Joint Venture
by Olly on September 30, 2013
Sportech PLC, one of the world's leading operators and suppliers of pools and tote gaming, and Picklive, the makers of the world's first live fantasy sports game are pleased to announce a joint venture to launch Picklive USA. Picklive USA is an innovative new gaming product targeting the rapidly growing U.S. fantasy sports market, worth an estimated $2 billion, through a combination of daily fantasy sports, social gaming and in-play entertainment.
Picklive USA will be distributed nationwide and will leverage Sportech's extensive reach in the U.S., where it currently processes 50% of all horseracing bets. The new fantasy games will extend Sportech's product offering beyond horseracing to a vast sports market, including U.S. professional-league football, baseball, basketball, hockey, and soccer. Picklive will be accessible to Sportech's existing customer base in Connecticut as well as to its B2B customers through eBet, Sportech's U.S. online division, which operates over 20 horserace betting websites.
The new fantasy games will be launched next year in Connecticut following the commercial launch of MyWinners.com, Connecticut's only legal online betting, which is expected before the end of this year. Further distribution opportunities will be made available by utilising Sportech's customer base across the United States.
Research carried out by the Fantasy Sports Trade Association in 2013 estimated that 33.5 million adults play fantasy sports games in the US, in an industry worth over $2 billion, with daily fantasy sports taking a rapidly increasing share of the overall market. Sportech sees the opportunity to bring the "social" experience into the fantasy sports space, and aims for Picklive USA to be the ultimate second-screen entertainment and social experience during live sport.
Commenting on the joint venture, Ian Penrose, Sportech CEO said:
"This transaction further develops our increasing online presence in the rapidly growing U.S. market. With Sportech's strong heritage in sports gaming and strong relationship base, the daily fantasy sports market is a natural potential growth area for us, and I am excited by Picklive USA's potential to become a major player in this space."
Commenting on Picklive USA, David Galan, CEO of Picklive said:
"We are delighted to be partnering with Sportech given its unique position as a major operator in the highly regulated and rapidly changing U.S. gaming market. Picklive has already enjoyed great success in the UK and this opportunity allows us to bring product innovation and the 'social' element into the daily fantasy sports space in the U.S. and become a primary second-screen entertainment destination and social experience to accompany live sport."

We've got some exciting changes for 2013/14!
by Olly on August 16, 2013
The new season is upon us and we've been busy at Picklive towers over the summer. It's not the Bale or Suarez transfer sagas that have dominated our attention (some might say thankfully) so here is what's new for the start 2013/14:
LOWER RAKES: This season we have lowered the rakes and introduced a sliding scale. For this season rooms between £2 and £5 will have a rake of 15%, rooms between £5 and £10 will have a 10% rake and rooms over £10 will have a 7.5% rake. That means more money in the prize pot!
PICKING RESTRICTIONS: We have implemented one picking restriction for the 2013/14, you have to have at least one player from each team in your 5 at all times.
AUTO BACKUPS: This season you will only pick 5 players when making your selections, even if the lineups haven't been confirmed. This is because we have introduced auto-backups and from this season if you pick a player that is not starting you will automatically be assigned the player with the highest average score from the past three games in the same team that you haven't picked. You will still be able to edit your picks right up until kick off if you want to change the auto assigned player.
TIE BREAKER: For 2013/14 we have introduced a tie breaker question that you answer when picking your players. You need to predict the time of the first goal, to the nearest minute, and this will be used to separate teams in case of a tie. When there is a tie, the player that predicted the team nearest to the first goal, which we get timestamped from Opta, will finish higher in the table (and take a bigger share of the winnings).
FULL GAME RULES: You can read the full game rules in detail here.
MORE IMPROVEMENTS COMING: There are lots more changes in the pipeline over the next few months. In-play substitutions, a totally new site design and a new 'Head to Head' game are all on their way. We'll keep you informed as we release new features.
We're all set for another season of Picklive fun so get picking for tomorrow's Premier League matches and take home an opening weekend win!!
We've got the Confederations Cup on Picklive!
by Olly on June 11, 2013
There's no Euros or World Cup this summer but that doesn't mean that we don't have anything for you on Picklive. We'll be covering the Confederations Cup, which starts this Saturday, and there are rooms for everyone.
The World Cup warm up competition should throw up some interesting matches with a host of big names taking part. So whether it's Neymar, Suarez, Balotelli or Kagawa that piques your interest we'll have them all. And if it's a David vs. Goliath clash that you're looking for then look no further than the match between World Champions Spain and 138th ranked Tahiti on Thursday 20th June.
The Brazilians are sure to make it a party atmosphere as the countdown to the 2014 World Cup begins so make sure you keep your eye in this summer and get picking for the Confederations Cup.

Congratulations Mudahim – our Grand Final winner!
by Olly on May 29, 2013
On Saturday night Bayern Munich weren't the only people celebrating a big win, York City fan Mudahim also had reason to be cheerful as he scooped the £1625 top prize in our Champions League Tournament Grand Final.
Throughout the knockout stages there have been 20 Grand Final tickets available to the best performing Picklive players in each match and all the hard work and top picking of the last few months finally paid off on Saturday.
The match had a dramatic finish with Robben taking "the cup with the big ears" back to Munich for a 5th time and his goal turned the Grand Final on it's head too. Millman Hotspur FC seemed destined to take a lead into extra time but Robben's last gasp winner meant Mudahim leapt into first place to claim top prize. It was harsh on Millman Hotspur FC but £500 isn't bad consolation for finishing in 2nd place.
Commendations also go to FIVER SIDE who scooped £250 for 3rd place and also Player103895 and Sid Lowe's Caveat who shard the £125 prize for 4th place.
Well done to all the winners and everyone that took a share of the £90 prizes that were handed out for each knockout match. We've got the Confederations Cup coming soon on Picklive and we'll have plenty more competitions next season!
