Pistol Lasers
Mention pistol lasers to three different shooters, and you're sure to get three differing opinions. Some traditionalists insist that lasers have no place on a pistol. Others swear by them, insisting that every pistol be outfitted with a laser system. Some find them an interesting tool for training or use only in low-light situations, but maintain that their overall usefulness is limited.
Laser sighting systems have long been a staple in Hollywood movies. Scenes where a bad guy suddenly looks down to see a red dot on his chest, or a phalanx of lasers from a Special Operations team shine in through the windows of a building are standard fare in your typical action movie. But how useful are they in real life? The first thing many people new to laser systems notice is the fact that you can't actually see the laser beam itself, only the red dot. In the movies, beams are digitally added, or atmospheric contaminants such as smoke and dust are used to illuminate the laser beam.
Still, anyone looking towards the user of a laser system will be able to quickly see the bright red light of a laser being aimed at them. While they allow you to illuminate your target and quickly see where the point of impact is going to be, one of the primary drawbacks of a laser sighting system is that they can quickly give your position away to a possible bad guy. Of course, some will point out that muzzle flash will also give your position away in a low-light situation.
Many people believe that a flashlight held in your non-shooting hand is a better tool for low-light shooting, since the intense beam can blind an attacker, and it can be held off line of your body so that anyone shooting at the light source has a minimal chance of landing a critical hit. While this is true, a flashlight still doesn't help you when you need a low-light aiming solution.
Laser Aiming Systems:
Crimson Trace
Many different types of laser systems are available on the market today. Crimson Trace manufactures laser grips for a wide variety of semiautomatic pistols and revolvers. Originally designed as replacement grips with a built in laser system, Crimson Trace's lineup has expanded to include piggy-back models, such as the one pictured to the right, for polymer pistols without replaceable grips. Most of these laser grip systems use a master switch to turn the system on and off, as well as a pressure switch that is positioned for quick and easy momentary laser activation. I've installed a Crimson Trace system on my Sig Sauer P220, and found it very easy and intuitive to use.
The primary advantage of the laser grip is that it doesn't require a specialized holster. Many of the aftermarket pistol lasers attach to the rail found just forward of the trigger guard on most modern semiautomatics. The problem with these rail mounted lasers is that a custom holster must be used in order to accommodate the laser. Custom molded kydex holsters are available for some rail mounted lasers, and these are the best choice for many due to the enhanced retention they have. But the holster usually must match the exact model of laser and pistol you have, so finding the exact size can be difficult. Universal nylon holsters are available to fit your pistol/laser combo, but while they can fit almost any setup, they fit none of them well.
Another alternative to the rail mounted pistol laser that doesn't change the shape of your pistol is the aiming system manufactured by LaserMax. They produce an innovative system for autoloaders that replaces the stock guide rod with one designed by Laser Max with an integral laser aiming system. On most of these models, the takedown lever is usually refitted to function as an on/off switch.
The LaserMax system is not without its drawbacks. It is not adjustable for windage and elevation, but since it replaces the guide rod of the pistol it should be naturally aligned by the mechanical lock-up of the pistol. The thought that an optic system has to play a structural role in the operation of the pistol makes some shooters nervous, but there have been very few instances where the pistol has failed or jammed from the failure of a LaserMax guide rod laser aiming system. My Para 14.45 double-stack 1911 pistol can't be fitted with the Crimson Trace laser grip, so I've installed a LaserMax guide rod. While it does not provide pin point accuracy like the windage and elevation adjustable Crimson Trace, it is definitely "minute of bad guy" accurate. I was able to shoot groups that are nice and tight out all the way out to 25 yards.
Installation of the LaserMax is fairly straightforward, requiring only that the pistol be field stripped and the guide rod and takedown pin/slide lock replaced. No fitting was required, it simply dropped right in as a replacement for the original parts. With the unit installed, the takedown pin/slide lock lever function as an on/off switch, allowing the system to be activated without disturbing your grip on the firearm.
A unique system by LaserLyte replaces the rear sight of the pistol with one that includes a laser. This little aiming system is nothing short of an engineering marvel. The unit itself is quite small, one of the smallest on the market, and it endures enormous G-forces as it reciprocates with the slide. In addition to being able to fit in any standard holster, another advantage of the LaserLyte system is that it keeps the beam very close to the bore axis, ensuring that there are little or no offset error at varying distances.
The LaserLyte unit actually replaces the factory rear sight on your pistol, integrating a notch style sight with the laser unit in a small tube on one side and the battery system on the other. Some gunsmithing may be required to install the unit, although it's a fairly simple process on most pistols with a dovetail or Novak sight cut. Using a drift, simply tap out the original factory sight and tap in the LaserLyte unit. That's it! The unit is activated with a small button on the rear of the slide, and a tiny LED light lets the shooter know the unit is activated (assuming the red laser dot on their target doesn't clue them in).
The laser systems from ArmaLaser serve a another purpose in addition to providing a convenient aiming device for your pocket pistol: they also break up the outline of the gun, helping to eliminate issues with the shape of the gun "printing" through a pocket. While the original Armalaser systems were designed solely for pocket pistols such as the Kel-Tec P3AT and the Kahr PM9, their new "Reactive Sighting System" or "RSS" is a slim rail mounted system that should avoid most holster fitment issues.
Activating the trigger guard mounted ArmaLaser is easy: simply placing your finger inside the trigger guard causes the device to come to life. No buttons, no switches, it automatically detects your finger being inserted through the trigger guard and turns itself on. The other way to activate the device is by touching a small metal ribbon with your supporting hand. Again, the unit senses the contact and activates. There is also a kill switch on the bottom of the laser aiming system to allow you to turn off the laser to keep from giving your position away.
Pistol Training
Regardless of whether or not you feel that lasers belong on pistols as a sighting device, there is one role in which they can be incredibly valuable. Laser systems are enormously effective as a training aid.
For dry fire practice, the LaserLyte Pistol Trainer laser is a great training tool. Activated by the hammer or striker, the Pistol Trainer unit projects a beam for 100 milliseconds, giving you a clear indication of where your point of impact would have been. This gives you instant positive feedback during dry fire practice enabling to adjust your technique as necessary.
When giving demonstrations on pistol handling to an advanced group of students, it's sometimes difficult for them to see what is happening during complex and rapid drills. Using the Pistol Trainer unit from Laserlyte, the students instantly see each shot as it is pulled off. This, combined with an "always on" laser such as one of the ones mentioned above, allows each movement to be followed clearly and helps the students to see the movement and position of the pistol.
For an instructor training a new shooter, using a laser sighting system is incredibly helpful when diagnosing sighting or trigger problems. Almost any of the laser systems described above will work for training purposes. They can help a trainer quickly determine if a new shooter is having problems with sighting or trigger pull. Typical problems such as anticipating recoil and milking the trigger can be easily seen by observing the laser dot from a laser aiming system as it moves on the target.
Proper sight alignment can also be diagnosed using a laser aiming system. Teaching students how to acquire a good sight picture is much easier with a laser aiming system. By turning the system on (if necessary) but not activating it, you can have new shooters draw and push the pistol out to the target and acquire their sight picture, then turn activate the laser to get a visual confirmation. This gives instant feedback to both the student as well as the instructor, allowing for quick and easy diagnosis and correction.
Do you need a laser?
The answer to that question will vary from shooter to shooter. Some people are perfectly happy with a pistol as it comes from the factory floor. Others like to be prepared for every possible contingency and have their firearms outfitted appropriately. For low light situations, or any scenario where you are unable to get behind the rear sight such as firing from retention, a laser is a valuable tool that allows you to visually see that you are on target. If you're a new shooter, an instructor, or even an advanced shooter looking to improve your shooting skills, it's useful to have a laser equipped pistol for diagnosing and correcting basic shooting errors, or just to verify that you're on target. Whatever your experience is, adding a laser to your pistol is a thought worth some consideration.

I would have to agree with the author, Aaron and take issue with some of what Joe says. Sure lasers are a great training tool. And yes there are gimmicky lasers. For instance, there was one made "especially" for Springfield Armory sub compact models that sits in front of the trigger guard…during stress fire, the user must always engage his support hand, find a 'pin' sized button to click on or click off!!! That was the biggest 100 dollar gun joke ever known.
Therefore, for self protection, real professional equipment will allow pointing the gun, laser activation, and firing with one hand.
Of course, lasers aren't for everyone and that's cool. Some claim that practice isn't mandatory if battle ranges will always be at short distances.
I would kindly suggest to joe that distances and conditions are never guaranteed Therefore the more one prepares for various conditions, the better their chances may be for survival. Secondly, although most gun conflicts may occur at 21 feet or less, the stress of a person shooting at you also can make it a little harder to focus on gun techniques, especially if you have been hit. You don't ALWAYS know a gunfight will occur until an attacker has begun to reach for his weapon. AND WHO SAYS YOUR ATTACKER WILL BE STANDING STILL LIKE A TARGET AT THE GUN RANGE.
To each his own but I think the combination of a moving target, the effect of loud noise, stress, and low light…..allows the ability to focus on a small red dot on your target and firing MAKES LASERS REALLY SHINE.
Aaron Spuler
I agree with Joe here. The only point I'd disagree with him on in terms of lasers is the LaserLyte LT-Pro. I have one and it allows me to perform dry fire exercises at home when I'm unable to get out to the range (which isn't as often as I'd like since I have a 16 month old in the house to take care of).
I've never been a fan of lasers. I think they are gimmicky and are totally unnecessary if a person knows and trains with their handgun. The large majority of defensive handgun fights occur at very short ranges (7 yards on average). If you train even a little with your handgun, hitting a human sized target at 7 yards should be fairly easy, even in low light conditions. A good flashlight is a much better investment. I also don't like relying on batteries and switches on my gun. Just more things to worry about. Get out to the range and shoot your gun, then sell that laser to some other sucker.

CIFC Asset Management Announces The Hiring Of Stan Sokolowski As A Senior Portfolio Manager And Head Of Corporate Credit Funds Management
NEW YORK, Oct. 9, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- CIFC Corp. (NASDAQ: DFR) ("CIFC") today announced that Stan Sokolowski has joined the Firm as a Senior Portfolio Manager and Head of Corporate Credit Funds Management. Mr. Sokolowski brings 21 years of credit, portfolio management and trading experience, having invested across the credit spectrum of high yield, loans, stressed and distressed situations.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20111114/NY06218LOGO )
Prior to joining CIFC, Mr. Sokolowski was a portfolio manager with Lucidus Capital Partners, a credit trading firm that was spun out of Caxton Associates in 2011. Preceding Lucidus, Mr. Sokolowski was a credit portfolio manager and trader at Caxton. Prior to joining Caxton in 2006, Mr. Sokolowski was a Managing Director with JPMorgan where he founded and managed the European par and distressed loan trading business in London.
"We are delighted to have Stan complement our highly experienced team given his proven ability to express risk agnostically across capital structure through fundamental credit analysis and understanding of macro, rates, inflation, and hedging," said Steve Vaccaro, Chief Investment Officer. "Stan shares a common lineage with us and will be a key part of our expansion as a diversified, alternative credit manager.""I am very excited to join CIFC and be a part of its future," said Mr. Sokolowski. "I was attracted to the Firm given its cohesive investment and management team, proven investment model, differentiated sourcing, and institutionalized credit infrastructure. Credit strategies continue to provide investors disproportionate returns relative to risk. Our goal will be to serve as an extension of investors' resources as it relates to liquid and illiquid credit space through creation of bespoke and co-mingled solutions, which allow investors access to our platform". Stan joined Manufacturers Hanover in 1991 and completed Chemical Bank's MBA Capital Markets and Credit Training Program in 1994. He held various positions in New York and London throughout the Capital Markets, Sales and Trading, Investment Banking and Emerging Markets businesses of JPMorgan's predecessor organizations. Mr. Sokolowski holds a B.A. in Finance from Michigan State University. About CIFC

Minster 31, Celina 27
CELINA — No one would've blinked if the shot went down in this rollercoaster of a basketball game.
Minster and Celina's low-scoring, back-and-forth affair looked like it might be in for another drastic turn when Hillary Heiby got what appeared to be a wide-open look at a potential go-ahead three-pointer in the game's final 25 seconds.
St. Marys at Elida Photo Gallery (Link):
ELIDA — The St. Marys boys basketball team was charged with the task of stopping a rested and ready Elida Bulldogs eight days after they suffered their first loss of the season against Toledo Central Catholic and experienced the first roadbump in its expected charmed run through the WBL and the regular season.
NEW BREMEN — Minster got the better of its rival New Bremen 46-43 in a Midwest Athletic Conference back-and-forth showdown on Friday night by scoring eight of the game's final 10 points to rally.
DELPHOS — An almost half-court shot by Delphos St. John's guard Curtis Geise provided a boost of momentum to the Blue Jays heading into the fourth quarter. They went on to defeat the New Knoxville Rangers 50-43 in a Midwest Athletic Conference contest at the Vatican on Friday night.
Delphos turned up the defense in the fourth quarter limiting New Knoxville to only four points, while the Jays scored 10 points for the seven-point victory.
Lima Bath 61, Wapakoneta 47
WAPAKONETA — The Bath Wildcats used a balanced offensive attack and took advantage of a lackluster showing by the Redskins to pull away to a 61-47 win in a Western Buckeye League varsity boys basketball game at Wapakoneta High School.
"It seems like we've got to be down 10 points in the fourth quarter to start really playing hard defensively," Wapak varsity coach Matt Bradley said. "It's got to be that way all the time."
WAPAKONETA — Deputies with the Auglaize County Sheriff's Office are investigating a harassing letter placed in the home mailbox of the Wapakoneta City Schools superintendent.
"It appears that the correspondence may be related to current contract negotiations in the district," Sheriff Al Solomon said on Friday about the letter found last weekend in the mailbox at Keith Horner's Cridersville area residence.
ST. MARYS — Local students participated in their first "in-school field trip," where they learned how to find their own DNA code, during a science class on Friday.
The students in Tami Golliday's cell biology and genetics course at St. Marys Memorial High School stayed in Golliday's classroom all day Friday to participate in an extensive, first-time lab where they extracted DNA and found the DNA code, similar to what is done in forensics.
WAPAKONETA — The resignation by the director of the county agency came the same day he faced a criminal charge in Allen County.
Auglaize County American Red Cross Director Adam Suchland submitted a letter of resignation on Oct. 25, the same day he was arrested for soliciting a prostitute in Lima.
A local couple hopes their appearance on a national morning show will help shed light on the adoption need of earthquake-ravaged Haiti.
In October, the Rev. John Kraner, his wife Julie and seven other members of Wayne Street United Methodist Church traveled to Haiti as part of a mission trip to HIS (Haitian Interdenominational Shelter) Home For Children. Kraner said the orphanage, based in Port-Au-Prince, has seen a boom in children since the massive earthquake rocked the Caribbean island two years ago.
Joyce Ann Aufderhaar, 56, a resident of the Gardens of Celina, formerly of 320 W. Market St., St. Marys, died at 5:59 a.m. Friday, Jan. 9, 2012, at the Gardens of Celina.
She was born on Nov. 16, 1955, in Lima, the daughter of Walter and Margaret (Henkener) Aufderhaar, and her father preceded her in death. Her mother survives her at the Gardens of Celina.

WSI Industries Reports Improved Full Year Results
WSI Industries, Inc. (Nasdaq: WSCI) today reported sales for the full year fiscal 2011 of $24,963,000, an increase of 33% over the prior year's sales of $18,827,000. The Company also reported an increase of 41% in full year net income to $899,000 or $.31 per diluted share versus $637,000 or $.23 per diluted share in fiscal 2010.
Fiscal fourth quarter sales of $7,221,000 were an increase of 23% over the prior year's quarter of $5,856,000. The Company's net income in the current year's fourth quarter of $340,000 or $.12 per diluted share was equivalent to the prior year's fourth quarter of $348,000 or $.12 per diluted share.
Benjamin Rashleger, president and chief operating officer, commented: "A year ago we reported positive results for our fiscal 2010, and that we believed our fiscal 2011 would be better." He noted that in fiscal 2011 the Company accomplished the following:
- Reinstated the dividend program at an annualized rate of $.16 per share.
- Increased sales and net income by 33% and 41%, respectively, over the prior year.
- Increased cash balances and maintained the Company's solid financial position.
- Increased our presence in our energy business with a new customer that has awarded us several programs related to the shale fracturing segment.
- Added two new product lines in our recreational vehicle market which were an element of a year over year sales increase of 39% in this business.
- Invested $1.7 million in property and equipment during fiscal 2011 with an additional investment of $1.4 million occurring in the first quarter of fiscal 2012.
- Invested in our human resource capital by increasing our headcount by one-third in the past year.
- Increased our share price by 61% in fiscal 2011, which followed a 38% increase in share price in fiscal 2010.
Rashleger continued: "WSI has had several exciting recent developments. We announced last month we have been able to diversify our energy business, as well as our overall industry balance, in addition to expanding our overall business. We have continued to invest in our Company in order to support our new and existing customers with additional capacity, expansion of our capabilities, and key additions to our team, while still being able to improve and maintain overall profit, generate cash flow from operations, and reward our shareholders with a quarterly dividend." Rashleger concluded: "We will continue to look to capture new opportunities and further diversify our industry and customer exposure to ensure our business will remain secure. We are fortunate to have additional opportunities in front of us that will help us meet these goals. We must also remain focused on execution while providing the best value for our customers. We remain confident that fiscal 2012 will build on our success of fiscal 2011, and we will continue to remain focused on building a world class contract manufacturing business."

KKR Financial Holdings' CEO Hosts Analyst Day (Transcript)
Before we start to think about KFN and where it is today and where it's going, it helps to understand its past. And I was thinking you know flying over from Europe to New York yesterday, a little bit about where KFN has been and I remember 4.5 years ago when I was in a meeting when Henry Kravis's office here in New York, I saw a sign he had in his office. It said arrogance kills.
I remembered that sign then I flew back to the West Coast after that meeting and I was greeted at the door of my house with my wife, she said you have to talk to your son, he did that thing again. I can't remember what that thing was but it probably involved beating up his little sister.
So I went upstairs and sat on the bed of my son and I asked him what had happened and he said, well daddy because I know you and mommy say don't make the same mistake twice, but I have a big problem, I forget that I make the mistake, can you help me think of a process so I can record and remember when I make mistakes. So I don't do them again.
And so the story of Henry Kravis and the sign in his office and a lesson my son taught me, all really implies a little bit in the context to the history of KFN. We started out in 2004 as a mortgage, it was a corporate structure that allowed us to focus on building our leverage credit capabilities and bank loans and high yield using [CLOs] as financing source, but the problem was that a lot of our assets were in the residential mortgages which we did not have a concrete expertise at the firm, it's lesson number one.

The sys admin's daily grind: New logfile tool
Sweet Logger
Just as a craftsman is unlikely to purchase a new angle grinder every month, sys admins are unlikely to change constantly their tried and trusted tools. Columnist Charly Kühnast ditches this conservative philosophy this month, lured by the charms of a new logfile tool.
A system administrator's choice of weapons for dueling with the daily grind is likely to be pretty conservative. For example, Webalizer has been my tool of choice for analyzing web server logs for something approaching eternity. However, there is no shortage of alternatives: AWStats, AWFFull, and others are available for adventurous admins. But, why experiment? The other tools just do the same thing as Webalizer – that is, create intuitive evaluations from web server logs.
I am tempted to be unfaithful, however, if I need a real-time summary, with precision down to a second. Apachetop gives you a line on this, and I wrote about it some time back [1]. Since then, a better tool has hit the market: Go Access [2]. This tool parses the web server logfile, evaluates it up to the present point in time, and displays the results at the command line. Go Access reads typical logfiles in Common Logfile format, but also in Combined Logfile format. If you have something more exotic, you have the option of teaching Go Access how to handle it.
Go Access writes its output continuously. Thus, I can watch the web server work in real time. In the simplest case, you just pass in a single parameter, the path to the logfile, at run time:
goaccess -f /var/log/apache2/access.log
Another very practical aspect is the ability to add an IP address and, at the same time, tell Go Access to ignore access to it:
goaccess -f /var/log/apache2/access.log-e 10.50.1.25
This approach avoids evaluating access by the monitoring systems (Nagios, Icinga, or load balancers), all of which cyclically check whether the server is still alive.
Forward Roll
The command-line display is divided into sections Go Access calls modules. The modules are listed from the top down, so you need to scroll to see them all. Some lucky admins have access to portrait-format displays – not me.
Figure 1 only shows the first four modules and the first line of the fifth. In fact, however, Go Access displays 11 modules, including overviews of the most commonly used browsers and client operating systems, the most frequently referring sites, and search keys that prompted search engines to point users to my website. Another practical thing is that Go Access painstakingly differentiates between crawlers and genuine browsers in its evaluations.
A module only shows the "Top 6" list for its category. More details are quickly accessed, however: Each module is represented by a number in the header; for example,
6 - Operating Systems. If you press 6 on the keyboard and then O (for open Detail View), you are treated to a full list view. Pressing F1 displays more interactive shortcuts.
Authoritative reports on closed logfiles, long the domain of classic log analyzers like Webalizer and others, are naturally part of Go Access's feature set. It looks like I'll be sending Webalizer and Apachetop off to the happy hunting grounds in the near future.

Self-Awareness In the transition from infant to toddler, we suggested that three aspects of development are particularly important in helping us understand toddlers. To summarize, at about 18 months (range around 1 - 3 years), these three issues emerge to herald the arrival of the toddler: mobility, self-awareness, and language.
We discussed mobility last month, and we will explore language next month. This month, we tackle self-awareness, a profound developmental advance which is intertwined with both mobility and language.
The Developmental of Self-Awareness The neurobiological and psychological triggers for self-awareness have not yet been clarified. What we do know is that this occurs around 1 – 3 years. The child begins to know her own name and refer to herself by name. The child will begin to look in the mirror and realize she is looking at herself. She will also make clearer her own likes and dislikes, needs and wishes.
Evidence for Increased Self-Awareness As the well-known infant researcher Daniel Stern notes, at about 18 months children begin to show evidence of self-awareness. This evidence includes: infants' behavior in front of a mirror, their use of verbal labels for self, and empathic acts (See The Interpersonal World of the Infant, 1985). Regarding the studies of children and mirrors, here is how Stern describes what happens to a child at around 18 months:


text: Press Release For Immediate Release Megan Lueders,Lifesize - 美国 +1-512-623-4151 firstname.lastname@example.com Lifesize Redefines Video Collaboration Infrastructure with Industry's First Virtualized, Software-Based MCU Lifesize empowers companies of all sizes to deliver on-demand multiparty video collaboration on any device to meet the needs of an increasingly mobile workforce Austin, Texas, 八月 14, 2012 Lifesize, a division of Logitech (NASDAQ: LOGI) (SIX: LOGN), today introduced enhancements to its bridging portfolio to provide flexible, virtualized multiparty support with Lifesize UVC Multipoint (optimized for the resolution of mobile devices) and Lifesize Bridge, now with high-availability clustering. Lifesize is making bridging flexible and reliable to support everything from scheduled video calls with dozens of participants to on-demand mobile video calling. These new bridging solutions enhance the way people choose to work—on-demand and on the go. One of the driving forces behind this new offering is the evolution of the modern workplace—with more remote workers, fewer physical office spaces and more flexible hours. With this new landscape comes a new challenge: how to effectively collaborate and boost productivity in an increasingly mobile world. Whether the device of choice is a laptop, tablet, smartphone or new software application, companies no longer have to scramble to provide needed infrastructure and support. "The vision behind the Lifesize UVC Platform is to fundamentally change the way businesses deploy video infrastructure by consolidating multiple applications on a single, virtualized interface, said Michael Helmbrecht, vice president and general manager of video solutions at Lifesize. "Now, we have taken this vision a step further with today's addition of Lifesize UVC Multipoint. This new offering addresses the needs of the massive BYOD movement whereby the power driving new technologies has shifted from the corporation to employees themselves. We're addressing both employee and company needs, by offering multiparty video collaboration that is simple to use, manage, and scale with unmatched in price performance." Lifesize UVC Multipoint is the industry's first fully virtualized, standards-based multiparty video calling solution for on-demand meetings. Lifesize UVC Multipoint is also the newest application on the Lifesize UVC Platform, the industry's first fully integrated, software-based platform for video infrastructure. Unlike anything else on the market today, this software-based MCU features: Unmatched scalability: First video conferencing bridge that can be purchased one port at a time ($1,499 U.S. MSRP per port); enables enterprises to buy what they need now and scale as needs grow BYOD support: Optimized for mobile resolutions Flexibility: Offers flexible port capacity to enable more users Lifesize Bridge, the industry's highest quality and most powerful bridging solution, now supports "high-availability clustering," which simply means that two or more bridges can be connected to act as one, providing enormous benefits to the user and IT administrator. High-availability clustering on Lifesize Bridge provides the following benefits: Reliability through failover: Bridge calls will remain intact, even if there is a system failure Expanded port availability: All employees will have the resources to make an on-demand multiparty call whenever they need to Simplicity: One administrative interface, one dial plan Rapid deployment: No additional hardware needed; enable with a license key For users who want to make a smaller initial investment and scale as their organization's needs grow, Lifesize Bridge is now available in lower entry-level capacities including 8 and 12 ports, with a 4-port upgrade option. "Software-based MCUs are an absolute necessity for more pervasive adoption of enterprise video conferencing," said Robert Arnold, program manager for unified communications and collaboration at Frost and Sullivan. "With the explosive growth of video communication on smartphones, tablets and notebooks, customers need a flexible and scalable bridging solution that is optimized for these devices. Solutions like Lifesize UVC Multipoint are essential to address that market demand at the apex of this industry transformation." Pricing and Availability Lifesize UVC Multipoint is globally available to order today and starts at approximately $1,499 U.S. MSRP. Lifesize Bridge is globally available to order today and starts at $34,999 U.S. MSRP.

So much for the claims about secret Republican boss "hush money." That allegation, along with the depositions of top lawmakers, is on hold now that a judge threw out disgraced former RPOF chairman Jim Greer's breach-of-contract lawsuit against his former party. The judge in the case said Greer couldn't press the civil case because he refuses to talk freely due to the criminal fraud charges he faces. Assuming he beats the rap, Greer can more easily refile his civil claim -- that he didn't get his golden parachute guaranteed him by current House Speaker Dean Cannon, Senate President Mike Haridopolos, Sen. John Thrasher and the party itself. It's not the type of claim that easily elicits sympathy from jurors in a job-depressed state. Making matters tougher for Greer: in a civil case, a person's background can be fair game. So don't be too surprised if the Greer-has-sex-with-stripper story hits the courtroom.

Sports Roundup: Ousting Donald Sterling, Kevin Durant MVP and more
Ronald Martinez/Getty Images
Kevin Durant #35 of the Oklahoma City Thunder celebrates after making a three-point shot against the Memphis Grizzlies in Game Seven of the Western Conference Quarterfinals during the 2014 NBA Playoffs at Chesapeake Energy Arena on May 3, 2014 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
The NBA has a plan to oust the Donald, Rapunzel might have a tough time playing for one high school baseball team in Canada, and saying, "I love you Mom" is just not enough anymore. All this means it's time for sports with Andy and Brian Kamenetzky, who have covered the sports scene for ESPN and the L.A. Times.
It's been a week since NBA commissioner Adam Silver brought down the hammer on Clippers owner Donald Sterling. They barred him from the team and announced they will force him out. What we didn't know is how the league plans to do it.
Now, assuming the Clippers get a new ownership group, who would make the best fit?
Rules have been a part of sports teams since forever. But one of the few things I've learned in my four decades of life is that rules are made to be broken or at the very least bent. Now there's a story out of Canada that's challenging that assertion.
Finally, back to basketball, as Oklahoma City Thunder superstar Kevin Durant won the NBA MVP award yesterday. With Mother's Day coming up Durant knew exactly who to thank. How high has Kevin Durant now raised the Mother's Day bar?
