England jeers hurt Ashley
22 May 2009 - 08:47:32
Chelsea defender Ashley Cole has admitted to being hurt when booed while playing for England.
Left-back Cole, 28, was rounded on by some fans when he made a mistake in a World Cup qualifier against Kazakhstan at Wembley last October.
England take on Kazakhstan and Andorra in qualifiers next month and Cole has admitted he has been bruised by the negativity of some fans.
"It was difficult when they booed. I'm a normal personal, I'm just like you and just like everyone else. I have feelings and thoughts," he revealed.
"So of course it hurt, I'm not going to sit here and say it didn't.
"But you have to get on with it. It happens in football, you are loved one day and hated the next. You have to get on with it and that's what I've done.
"I've played the best I have for Chelsea so far. The Chelsea fans are happy and I'd like the same with my country.
"To be honest I don't think I've played bad for England and I've certainly not been as bad as some people say.
"I don't think I've let the country down too many times. Of course I had that blip where I gave the ball away but a lot of players have done that, you can't play well every game in football and not make one mistake.
"I look over my career, I've played 72 games and I think I've done well for my country."

Cramer's 'Mad Money' Recap: Bull or Bear?
Benioff also touted Salesforce's new alliance with rival Oracle (ORCL), in which Oracle is using Salesforce's cloud offerings for its sales and service organizations.
Other highlights for the quarter included helping retailers including Home Depot (HD) connect with their customers and helping internet services such as Yelp (YELP) attract and manage new customers.
Wowed by Wendy's
Looking for stocks worth buying after the next market selloff? Cramer said to forget about the number or number two players in a sector. He's found two great turnaround stories sitting at a comfortable number three, with plenty of room to grow.
He said both Rite-Aid (RAD - Get Report) and Wendy's (WEN - Get Report) are less-than-$10 stocks that were left for dead just a few years ago but are now worth buying on any weakness.
Wendy's received a new CEO in 2011. Since that time the restaurant chain has been making some dramatic changes, from remodeling stores to revamping menus to changing the corporate structure and retooling the balance sheet. In an effort Wendy's calls "image activation," the company remodeled 48 of its locations, most of which average over 20 years in age. The result? A 25% increase in sales. That's enough to prompt Wendy's to aggressively re-image 50% of its locations by 2015. Wendy's has also changed its menu, introducing items and developing a two-tier menu that offers a value menu and a premium menu to compete with the likes of McDonald's (MCD) value menu and higher-end offerings from the likes of Panera Bread (PNRA). Wendy's is also converting more of its company-owned stores to franchises as well as paying down its debt. Rite-Aid is in a similar boat, said Cramer. After trading as low a 93 cents a share just last year, the drugstore chain has ben cutting costs, remodeling its stores and innovating with services such as prescriptions in 15 minutes or less. Its focus on private label has increased margins while its health and wellness initiatives have been a big hit with customers. Cramer said that trading at 28.5 times earnings with a 17% growth rate, Wendy's is a buy, buy, buy on any weakness, while Rite-Aid, trading at 13.2 times earnings with an 8% growth rate, is equally attractive.Lightning Round
In the Lightning Round, Cramer was bullish on Timken (TKR), Graco (GGG), Quanta Services (PWR), Radian Group (RDN), Cummins (CMI), Pfizer (PFE) and GlaxoSmithKline (GSK). Cramer was bearish on United States Steel (X), Silver Spring Networks (SSNI), Arena Pharmaceuticals (ARNA) and Stewart Information Services (STC).Executive Decision: Patrick Smith
In his second "Executive Decision" segment, Cramer sat down with Patrick Smith, co-founder and CEO of Taser International (TASR - Get Report), a stock that's up over 37% in just the past three weeks as investors are getting excited over the company's newest products. Smith said Taser's big push over the past few years has been in digital evidence management. He noted that police departments spend nearly $2.5 billion a year in litigation surrounding the actions of their officers, yet Taser's new wearable camera can cut that down by 90% by offering video evidence of the officer's actions. Smith then demonstrated the new technology, explaining that after each police action, officers can easily tag and note their video clips, which are then sent to the cloud for easy storage and retrieval later on. He said many police departments have warehouses of VHS tapes as their video evidence, but Taser is taking departments right to the cloud and has the first-mover advantage. Cramer said that despite its big move to the upside, Taser remains a very interesting story.No Huddle Offense
In his "No Huddle Offense" segment, Cramer reiterated his mantra of "knowing what you own," especially if you're trying to short a stock. He said the shorts got blindsided by online real estate listing Web site Zillow (Z), a stock that's soared 245% so far this year. Cramer said that on the surface, Zillow isn't benefiting from the uptick in home sales any more than a stock like Realogy (RLGY), yet Realogy's stock hasn't risen nearly as much. He said that's because nearly 18% of Zillow's stock has been sold short, and that's led to a huge short-squeeze that has sent the bears scrambling for cover. "Many of these shorts didn't know what they were betting against," Cramer concluded. Don't be one of them. To watch replays of Cramer's video segments, visit the Mad Money page on CNBC.

The theme of the afternoon at Golden Gate Fields Saturday was riding doubles as four jockeys made repeat visits to the winner's circle.
Julien Couton, Leslie Mawing, David Lopez and Hector Romero all rode a pair of winners on the nine-race program. Mawing and Lopez earned style points for posting their victories in back-to-back races.
Trainer Jeff Bonde of Pleasanton and jockey Russell Baze of Woodside are expected to win the $150,000 Palos Verdes Stakes at Santa Anita Saturday with their top sprinter Smiling Tiger.
Golden Gate Fields will simulcast the entire nine-race card from Santa Anita and post time for the Palos Verdes, the seventh event on the program, is 3:37 p.m. First post at Santa Anita is 12:30 p.m.
Russell Baze, who has won more races than any jockey in the history of thoroughbred racing, will be inducted into the Multi-Ethnic Sports Hall of Fame (MESHOF) in Oakland, California, on Friday, Feb. 25, in a ceremony that will be held at the Interstate Center-Mormon Temple.
Jockey Russell Baze spent Martin Luther King, Jr. Day at Golden Gate Fields the same way he spent Sunday at the East Bay track – by making multiple visits to the winner's circle.
Russell Baze, who missed Saturday's California Derby Day program due a neck sprain he sustained in a fall prior to the first race, bounced right back Sunday to win four races at Golden Gate Fields.
Baze hit the dirt Saturday when he was unseated by the 6-year-old mare Joffe's Run during warm-ups for the opener. Baze missed all seven of his scheduled mounts while being checked out at Alta Bates Hospital, where X-rays proved negative and cleared the way for his return to the saddle Sunday.
French jockey Julien Couton summed things up quite nicely after guiding Positive Response to an impressive victory in the $100,000 California Derby at Golden Gate Fields Saturday.
"He's definitely the best 3-year-old at Golden Gate Fields," said Couton of Positive Response, a Florida-bred son of Pomeroy who collected his second straight stakes victory and his third consecutive win at the East Bay racetrack.
John Sadler, one of the leading trainers in Southern California, will try to win the $100,000 California Derby at Golden Gate Fields for the second straight year when he sends out Dancing At Dark in the 1 1/16-mile feature for 3-year-olds Saturday.
Positive Response has been installed a 5-to-2 favorite on the morning line to capture the 96th running of the $100,000 California Derby at Golden Gate Fields.
Entries for the California Derby were taken Wednesday at Golden Gate Fields and the $100,000 race for 3-year-olds attracted a full field of 12.
The California Derby will be run Saturday and fans attending Golden Gate Fields with a paid admission will receive a free 70th anniversary sweatshirt. Grandstand and club house gates open at 10 a.m.; the Turf Club at 11 a.m. Post time is 12:45 p.m.
French jockey Julien Couton rode four winners and English apprentice rider Alice Cartwright earned her first victory in the Bay Area Sunday at Golden Gate Fields.
Come visit Golden Gate Fields, northern California's premier horse racing destination in the Bay Area. Located along the San Francisco Bay in Berkeley, fans are treated to some of the best sights and sounds in the world. With an elegant Turf Club, a roomy Club House, simulcast rooms, and plenty of general admission seating, Golden Gate Fields has offered exciting thoroughbred horse racing in the Bay Area since 1941.

Alone With The Blues
Ray Bryant
1. Blues #3 7:15 2. Joy (Blues #2) 3:59 3. Lover Man (Oh, Where Can You Be?) 3:28 4. Me And The Blues (Blues #1) 5:00 5. My Blues (Blues #5) 7:40 6. Rockin' Chair 5:16 7. Stocking Feet 4:47
The jazz audience outside Philadelphia became aware of Ray Bryant when he recorded for Prestige with Miles Davis and Sonny Rollins. These sidemen appearances were followed by his own trio LP. Although he had by then demonstrated an ability to play the blues (including his own sophisticated "Changes"), this solo album put the spotlight on Ray as a two-fisted pianist who was deep into all kinds of other blues, even gospel. Alone with the Blues flows out to the listener in an unfettered manner; it's blue balm for the soul.

Patients say prices are not clearly displayed or explained
Dental patients are not being provided with easily accessible and transparent information on treatment costs, according to Simplyhealth's Annual Dental Survey.
The poll of 11,785 British adults found that 48% of those who visit the dentist say prices are not clearly displayed or explained by their dentist, while only 27% said that during their check-ups they have been given a written treatment plan that included charges.
Furthermore, 54% of those asked said they are concerned that they won't be able to afford dental care in the future.
James Glover, spokesperson for Simplyhealth, said: "It is important that patients understand the dental treatment they are being advised to have and the costs involved if they are to value the care they receive. Patients should ask plenty of questions so they are involved and able to make informed decisions about their dental health."
He said that a lack of information around cost may explain why 36% of those surveyed said they do not believe the dentist is good value for money.
Glover added: "Although health cash plans and dental plans can help people budget for their appointments it is clear that more could be done to ensure patients fully understand the care they receive."

NOLA man, LSP speak out about controversial traffic stop caught on camera
NEW ORLEANS, LA (CNN/WWL) — "It did exactly what I thought it would do which is cover their butts."
This 15-minute Louisiana state police dash-camera video shows a traffic stop near Caffin and Charters in the lower ninth ward.
Musician Shamarr Allen says troopers stopped him after he backed down a street to avoid a police blockade around 2:30 in the morning, on July 23rd.
"I grew up down here where you see the police all the time. If the street is blocked off and you go that way. You're liable to be harassed."
"State police say the troopers set-up a barricade in this lower ninth ward neighborhood looking for a drug dealer who had ran away and that's when Allen drove-up to the scene.
State police released the video after Allen complained officers used excessive force at the traffic stop.
During a news conference today... Superintendent Mike Edmonson stood by his troopers actions.
"I support the actions of my troopers I believe they did exactly how they train for."
LSP initially told reporters 15-minutes of the 30 minute clip were missing...and then made a retraction saying only 1 to 2 minutes were missing because the trooper's engine was turned off. According to state police -- the video shows Allen's refusal to show both of his hands.
Allen says troopers threatened him with a gun...at one point putting a boot on his head...actions he feels were racial profiling. Edmonson says those accusations aren't true.
"We didn't say 'stop that car, there's an individual.' We don't operate like that. I don't teach that, I don't condone it and I don't tolerate it."
This New Orleans musician says he's lawyered-up...sticking to his version of what unfolded.
"All I wanted to do is bring awareness to a big problem.

So, I've never actually written a story using first person, and I'm curious to try it. So I want to write one to try it out.
I've been thinking about writing from the point of view of Ascaris (I'm torn between the name Ascaris and Dracun, still deciding) who is Scollex's brother (they're both named after something relating to parasitic worms). He hasn't appeared yet before, but I want to add more antagonists to my story universe thingy. So far I have Glen, which is an enemy mainly to Kage (however he's also hostile towards the others due to them being killers and stuff), and Scollex, who is also an enemy to Kage (but he might get along with Zehnder or something). Ascaris might be a little different when it comes to motives though. Won't spoil anything.
Anyway, this should be an interesting thing for me, might write it today, but chances are slim 'cause I don't think I'll have time to.
I want to know which name you guys think is better, Ascaris or Dracun.

text: Fake Problems frontman Chris Farren sings like a demented carnival barker on the Florida band's delightfully erratic third full-length, It's Great to Be Alive, and, fittingly, the album often feels like a dizzying tour through the crazed funhouse of his mind. Take one turn and he's serenading with fresh-faced young adult romantic angst, take another and he's engulfed in the fury of biblical turmoil, and take one more and find him wrestling with a man-eating alligator. Lurching right alongside him is the impressively diverse and accomplished band, moving nimbly through the anthemic punk-pop sprint of "The Dream Team", the mutant ska of "Don't Worry Baby", the old-timey country stomp of "The Heaven and Hell Cotillion", the swampy bayou rave-up of "Level with the Devil", the funky swagger of "Diamond Rings", and the wistful balladry of "Heart BPM". It is a manic sprawl of an album that might have wound up a total mess were it not simultaneously so much fun—in a just universe, "The Dream Team" would be one of the summer's biggest pop hits—and anchored with such depth and unifying coherence. It's Great to Be Alive is one of 2009's richest and most enjoyable left-field surprises.

The web-only retailer increased sales 4.3% in 2012.
Web-only mass merchant Overstock.com Inc. posted a moderate increase in sales in 2012 and a larger increase in profit, largely through tightening spending on general and technology expenses.
For the year ended Dec. 31, Overstock, No. 27 in the 2012 Internet Retailer Top 500 reported:
- Sales increased 4.3%, to $1.099 billion from $1.054 billion in 2011.
- Gross profit increased 10.8%, to $198.4 million from $179.1 million last year.
- Net income totaled $14.7 million compared with a net loss of $19.4 million.
- Sales and marketing expenses increased 2.8% to $63.5 million from $61.8 million.
- Technology expenses decreased 2.2% to $65.5 million from $67 million.
- General, administrative and technology expenses decreased 15.5% to $57.3 million from $67.8 million.
For the fourth quarter Overstock also reported:
- Sales increased 8.9%, to $342.0 million from $314.1 million in Q4 2011.
- Gross profit increased 20.2%, to $61.2 million from $50.9 million last year.
- Net income totaled $8.8 million compared with a net loss of $3.4 million in Q4 2011.
- Average ticket increased about 14.8% year over year to $132 from $115.
- Sales and marketing expenses increased 9.0% to $20.6 million from $18.9 million.
- Technology expenses increased 13.4% to $18.6 million from $16.4 million.
- General, administrative and technology expenses decreased 20.9% to $14 million from $17.7 million.
Overstock is well-positioned to weather any national or global financial crisis in 2013 because the company has planned for many scenarios and because of ongoing efforts to make its global supply chain increasingly nimble, CEO Patrick Byrne told analysts on the company's year-end earnings call. "We've spent the past 18 months making the supply chain more agile and we see that as a competitive advantage," Byrne told Wall Street analysts. "As for any financial changes nationally or globally we have files in the file drawer ready for any number of scenarios."
Going forward Overstock also sees more competition coming from store-based retailers, particularly chains that have what Byrne calls a good "clicks-and-bricks" strategy. "The big chains are getting better at this and they have an advantage over the pure-plays with their clicks-and-bricks model," Byrne told analysts. "The store retailers are the competitive segment to watch."
Chain store retailers can take advantage of foot traffic to stores to market their e-commerce brand—a distinct advantage over web-only merchants, Byrne says.
But chain retailers still aren't the fastest-growing merchant segment among all Top 500 retailers, according to data published in the 2012 Top 500 Guide. In 2011, Top 500 web-only merchants grew much faster than every other merchant type—about 32% to a combined $73.39 billion in 2011 from $55.68 billion in 2010. In comparison, store-based retailers grew year over year by 14.7% to $64.63 billion from $56.36 billion.
Even without Amazon, online-only merchants in the Top 500 grew their combined sales by 17.8% to $25.31 billion from $21.48 billion in 2010.

The story of Yhwach is an ancient legend of a man who was named after the gods and believes himself to truly be one.
The Good
I really had to let this chapter sit before putting my thoughts to words. It's certainly informative, and it actually caught me of guard. As I was reading the preamble, I was certain it was describing the origin of the Spirit King. It all seemed to make sense, then the big reveal that this was the story of Yhwach. That messiah complex he's got going makes a hell of a lot more sense now.
This ability does certainly ratchet up the threat. Now with each passing battle, no matter who wins, we'll know that it's only making Yhwach ever stronger. Yet no one on the outside realizes this. Although, I'm still left with new questions. If Yhwach is such an extraordinary being, what role did he previously play in the Soul Society, and what is the Spirit King?
The Bad
After a series of really entertaining battles, everything comes to a stop for a ton of exposition and the villain's nap time. That pretty much sums up this issue within a single sentence.
Don't think I didn't notice that Yhwach mentions James' death but nothing about Mask De Masculine.
Verdict 2/5
To say this chapter was uneventful would be an understatement. There's a touch of political drama with Uryu, but he's merely the vessel for this information to be fed to the audience. With all the back story going on, this still doesn't quite explain why there is this need for balance. That concept has been repeated, and I can only guess that will be broken down for us later on.
It's not a terrible chapter, and these events will add layers of all the battles we now read following it. It's good that we get this out of the way while we're between the action. I'm looking forward to what we get next week.

Honeycomb Cellular Shades |
Bamboo Shades |
The sidelight windows found on either side of the door of a home (and sometimes alongside large picture windows) are often one of the home's most distinctive architectural features. While these windows are quite narrow, they still have a significant impact on the amount of natural light and heat that enter from outside. Sidelight windows also present security and privacy issues that need to be considered because of their position at the front doors of our homes. As attractive as they are to look at, many homeowners find side light windows troublesome because they are unsure how to cover these slender spaces in order to maintain privacy or control the light offered there.

Jim Cramer's 'Mad Money' Recap: Next Week's Game Plan
Executive Decision: Manny Perez De La Mesa
In a "thinking of summer" edition of his "Executive Decision" segment, Cramer spoke with Manny Perez De La Mesa, president and CEO of Pool Corp (POOL), the swimming pool company that derives 13% of its business from new pools, 29% from refurbishing older ones and the rest from pool maintenance supplies. Shares of Pool are flirting with new highs despite having come off a horrible winter.
Perez De La Mesa said the pool business is still in the early phases of recovery and has a long way to go. He said his company's earnings would be even stronger if you subtracted the negative pull from new store openings and acquisitions.
When asked about his business, Perez De La Mesa said Pool Corp is taking share across the board, even though it competes with everyone from smaller stores to mass merchants. Their advantage lies in the company's people, who knowledgeably staff the 220 locations.
Turning to the topic of this year's rough winter, Perez De La Mesa said since most pools are closed during this time, it's not really a factor, although his company's maintenance and repair business remains brisk. Cramer said he wishes this stock would pull back so he could buy in.No Huddle Offense
In his "No Huddle Offense" segment, Cramer told viewers to be careful when it comes to the slew of seemingly red-hot IPOs that have been flooding the market of late. While many of these companies are in sexy industries like the cloud and biotech, Cramer said the fact is that many are losing money and their IPOs are artificially engineered to spike on their first day of trading. Many of these stocks will drift lower, Cramer warned, and many of those will undoubtedly have to issue even more stock in a few months time, sending shares sharply lower. Cramer said investors need to sell when the insiders do, and often that's on day one. To watch replays of Cramer's video segments, visit the Mad Money page on CNBC.

Rapper overcame a speech impediment to find his own voice.
T.Q.D. (That Quiet Dude)
"I'm generally a pretty quiet person."
Coming from David Johnson, 28, who has battled through speech issues since childhood and goes by the name the Quiet Dude (T.Q.D.), this isn't the most surprising self-description. However, add in the fact that T.Q.D. is a local MC set to release his third studio album, "Taketh Away," this week, and suddenly the dots become a little harder to connect.
Hailing from Bloomington, where he began rapping in the late '90s, T.Q.D. was fascinated by hip-hop lyricists and was inspired to give rap a shot after hearing gangsta rap pioneer Kool G Rap. It wasn't G Rap's jarring street image or "mafioso rap" that drew T.Q.D., but a connection he heard through the rapper's enunciation.
"I don't know how familiar you are with his catalog, but he definitely has a pretty noticeable lisp," he said. "I grew up with a bunch of speech problems."
Those issues were tied to a heavy lisp Johnson spoke with as a child. Although he worked on and gradually overcame the impediment, he didn't consider getting rid of it a necessary step when he began to rap. "Everyone has to become comfortable with their own voice," he said.
The speech problem is hinted at in T.Q.D.'s stage name (which replaced the equally sheepish Reserved, his first rap alias), but it doesn't distract from his music and is rarely noticeable in his delivery.
While the impetus to step behind the mike came from G Rap, T.Q.D. said he identifies more with the direct lyrical style of De La Soul. Although T.Q.D.'s recent songs have lightened up a bit compared with older lyrics that he described as "cryptic," almost all of "Taketh Away" addresses topics from love to day-to-day struggles in a serious tone. Lines such as "Plain to me, we all can see/ Pretty exterior within she bleeds," from his favorite new track, "Audio Problems," capture the candid attitude present throughout the album.
For his first album, "Not Yet," T.Q.D. recorded with Doomtree members P.O.S. and Cecil Otter, an experience that continues to affect his work. Otter "probably gave me my best advice," he said, recounting how the local star suggested that as a relative unknown, T.Q.D. should shorten his tracks to get his message across more quickly. "I've kind of taken that to heart." He has been encouraged by the success of his former collaborators and hopes to build on that with his newest effort.
The CD release party for "Taketh Away" takes place Friday at Hell's Kitchen. "I'm probably more excited than I've ever been," T.Q.D. said, largely because it's been three years since his last album. Assuming his enthusiasm translates to his performance, T.Q.D. is becoming anything but a quiet dude.

A reunion was held Friday in honor of B-52 crew members at Barksdale Air Force Base.
About 130 former members who flew almost every series of bombers from the cold war to the gulf war met at the base.
Members toured the base and had a luncheon in their honor inside a hanger with a B-52 as a back drop.
Out of all the planes that flew, only about 85 remain in service.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
9-1-1 is the emergency telephone number for the North American Numbering Plan (NANP), one of eight N11 codes. This number is intended for use in emergency circumstances only, and to use it for any other purpose (such as prank calls) can be a crime.[1][2] In over 98 percent of locations in the United States and Canada[dubious ], dialing "9-1-1" from any telephone will link the caller to an emergency dispatch center—called a PSAP, or Public Safety Answering Point, by the telecom industry—which can send emergency responders to the caller's location in an emergency. In approximately 96 percent of the US, the Enhanced 911 system automatically pairs caller numbers with a physical address.[citation needed]
In the earliest days of telephone technology, prior to the development of the rotary dial telephone, all telephone calls were operator-assisted. To place a call, the caller was required to pick up the telephone receiver, sometimes turn a magneto crank, and wait for the telephone operator to answer. The caller would then ask to be connected to the number they wished to call, and the operator would make the required connection manually, by means of a switchboard. In an emergency, the caller might simply say "Get me the police", "I want to report a fire", or "I need an ambulance/doctor". Until dial service came into use, one could not place calls without operator assistance.[3]
The first known experiment with a national emergency telephone number occurred in the United Kingdom in 1937, using the number 999.[4] The first city in North America to use a central emergency number (in 1959) was the Canadian city of Winnipeg, Manitoba, which instituted the change at the urging of Stephen Juba, mayor of Winnipeg at the time.[5] Winnipeg initially used 999 as the emergency number,[6] but switched numbers when 9-1-1 was proposed by the United States. In the United States, the push for the development of a nationwide American emergency telephone number came in 1957 when the National Association of Fire Chiefs recommended that a single number be used for reporting fires.[7] In 1967, the President's Commission on Law Enforcement and Administration of Justice recommended the creation of a single number that could be used nationwide for reporting emergencies.[8] The burden then fell on the Federal Communications Commission, which then met with AT&T in November 1967 in order to come up with a solution.
In 1968, a solution was agreed upon. AT&T chose to implement the concept, but with its unique emergency number, 9-1-1, which was brief, easy to remember, dialed easily, and worked well with the phone systems in place at the time.
Just 35 days after AT&T's announcement, on February 16, 1968, the first-ever 9-1-1 call was placed by Alabama Speaker of the House Rankin Fite, from Haleyville City Hall, to U.S. Rep. Tom Bevill, at the city's police station. Bevill reportedly answered the phone with "Hello". At the City Hall with Fite was Haleyville mayor James Whitt; at the police station with Bevill were Gallagher and Alabama Public Service Commission director Eugene "Bull" Connor[citation needed]. Fitzgerald was at the ATC central office serving Haleyville, and actually observed the call pass through the switching gear as the mechanical equipment clunked out "9-1-1". The phone used to answer the first 9-1-1 call, a bright red model, is now in a museum in Haleyville, while a duplicate phone is still in use at the police station.
In 1968, 9-1-1 became the national emergency number for the United States. Calling this single number provided a caller access to police, fire and ambulance services, through what would become known as a common Public-safety answering point (PSAP). The number itself, however, did not become widely known until the 1970s, and many municipalities did not have 9-1-1 service until well into the 1980s.[citation needed] Conversion to 9-1-1 in Canada began in 1972 and now virtually all areas, except for some rural areas,[which?] are using 9-1-1. Each year, Canadians make 12 million calls to 9-1-1 (as of 2008).[9]
On September 15, 2010, AT&T announced that Tennessee had approved a service to support a Text to 9-1-1 trial statewide, where AT&T would be able to allow its users to send text messages to 9-1-1 Public-safety answering points (PSAPs).[10]
Most British Overseas Territories using the North American Numbering Plan, like Anguilla, Bermuda, the British Virgin Islands, and the Cayman Islands, use 911.
In most areas (approximately 96 percent of the US), enhanced 9-1-1 (E-911 or E911) is available, which automatically gives the dispatcher the caller's location, if available.[11]
In all North American jurisdictions, special privacy legislation permits emergency operators to obtain a 9-1-1 caller's telephone number and location information.[12] This information is gathered by mapping the calling phone number to an address in a database. This database function is known as Automatic Location Identification (ALI).[13] The database is generally maintained by the local telephone company, under a contract with the PSAP. Each telephone company has its own standards for the formatting of the database. Most ALI databases have a companion database known as the MSAG, Master Street Address Guide. The MSAG describes address elements including the exact spellings of street names, and street number ranges.
In the case of mobile phones, the associated billing address is not necessarily the location to which emergency responders should be sent, since the device is portable. This means that locating the caller is more complicated, and there is a different set of legal and technical requirements. To locate a mobile telephone geographically, there are two general approaches. One is to use some form of radiolocation from the cellular network; the other is to use a Global Positioning System receiver built into the phone itself. Both approaches are described by the Radio resource location services protocol (LCS protocol). Depending on the mobile phone hardware, one of two types of locations can be provided to the operator. The first is Wireless Phase One (WPH1) which is the tower location and a direction the call came from and the second is Wireless Phase Two (WPH2) which provides an estimated GPS location.
As Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) technology matured, service providers began to interconnect VoIP with the public telephone network and marketed the VoIP service as a cheap replacement phone service. However, E911 regulations and legal penalties have severely hampered the more widespread adoption of VoIP: VoIP is much more flexible than land line phone service and there is no easy way to verify the physical location of a caller on a nomadic VoIP network at any given time (especially in the case of wireless networks), and so many providers offered services which specifically excluded 911 service so as to avoid the severe E-911 non-compliance penalties. VoIP services tried to improvise, such as routing 911 calls to the administrative phone number of the Public Safety Answering Point, adding on software to track phone locations, etc.[citation needed]
In response to the E911 challenges inherent to IP phone systems, specialized technology has been developed to locate callers in the case of emergency. Some of these new technologies allow the caller to be located down to the specific office on a particular floor of a building. These solutions support a wide range of organizations with IP telephony networks. The solutions are available for service providers offering hosted IP-PBX and residential VoIP services. This increasingly important segment in IP phone technology includes E911 call routing services and automated phone tracking appliances. Many of these solutions have been established according to FCC, CRTC, and NENA i2 standards, in order to help enterprises and service providers reduce liability concerns and meet E911 regulations.[14]
9-1-1 dispatchers use Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) to record a log of police, fire, and EMS services. It can either be used to send messages to the dispatchee via a mobile data terminal (MDT) and/or used to store and retrieve data (i.e. radio logs, field interviews, client information, schedules, etc.). A dispatcher may announce the call details to field units over a two-way radio. Some systems communicate using a two-way radio system's selective calling features. CAD systems may send text messages with call-for-service details to alphanumeric pagers or wireless telephony text services like SMS. The central idea is that persons in a dispatch center are able to easily view and understand the status of all units being dispatched. CAD provides displays and tools so that the dispatcher has an opportunity to handle calls-for-service as efficiently as possible.
In the United States, 9-1-1 and enhanced 9-1-1 are typically funded based on state laws that impose monthly fees on local and wireless telephone customers. In Canada, a similar fee for service structure is regulated by the federal Canadian Radio Television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC). Depending on the location, counties and cities may also levy a fee, which may be in addition to, or in lieu of, the federal fee. The fees are collected by local telephone and wireless carriers through monthly surcharges on customer telephone bills. The collected fees are remitted to 9-1-1 administrative bodies, which may be statewide 9-1-1 boards, state public utility commissions, state revenue departments, or local 9-1-1 agencies.[15] These agencies disburse the funds to the Public Safety Answering Points for 9-1-1 purposes as specified in the various statutes. Telephone companies in the United States, including wireless carriers, may be entitled to apply for and receive reimbursements for costs of their compliance with federal and state laws requiring that their networks be compatible with 9-1-1 and enhanced 9-1-1. This is also true in Canada.
Fees vary widely by locality. They may range from around $.25 per month to $3.00 per month, per line.[16] The average wireless 9-1-1 fee in the United States, based on the fees for each state as published by the National Emergency Number Association (NENA), is around $.72. Since monthly fees do not vary based on the customer's usage of the network, the fees are considered, in tax terms, as highly "regressive", i.e., the fees disproportionately burden low-volume users of the public switched network (PSN) as compared with high-volume users. Some states cap the number of lines subject to the fee for large multi-line businesses, thereby shifting more of the fee burden to low-volume single-line residential customers or wireless customers.
Reaching a 9-1-1 dispatcher does not guarantee that emergency services will actually be able to respond to the call, as they are funded and operated separately. One egregious example occurred during a budget crunch in Josephine County, Oregon in 2013, when no county police were on duty and no state police were available to respond to a female caller whose abusive ex-boyfriend was in the process of breaking into her apartment. After the caller spent ten minutes on the phone with the dispatcher, the ex-boyfriend succeeded in breaking in and raping her.[17]
In 2013, the next of kin of Detroit murder victim Stacey Hightower sued the city for its 90-minute 9-1-1 response time.[18] For Robert Poff, a patient experiencing problems breathing, a twenty-minute delay in summoning emergency medical aid proved fatal.[19] Police emergency response times in the bankrupt city in 2013 were typically fifty minutes[20] to one hour[21] and ambulance response times at least twelve to twenty minutes.[22]
In the U.S., Federal Communications Commission rules require every telephone that can access the network to be able to dial 9-1-1, regardless of any reason that normal service may have been disconnected (including non-payment) (This only applies to states with a Do Not Disconnect policy in place. Those states must provide a "soft" or "warm" dial tone service; details can be found at FCC[23] On wired (land line) phones, this usually is accomplished by a "soft" dial tone, which sounds normal but will allow only emergency calls. Often, an unused and unpublished phone number will be issued to the line so that it will work properly. With regard to mobile phones, the rules require carriers to connect 9-1-1 calls from any mobile phone, regardless of whether that phone is currently active.[24] Similar rules for inactive telephones apply in Canada.[25]
When a cellular phone is deactivated, the phone number is often recycled to a new user, or to a new phone for the same user. The deactivated cell phone will still complete a 9-1-1 call (if it has battery power) but the 9-1-1 operator will see a specialized number indicating the cell phone has been deactivated. It is usually represented with an area code of (911)-xxx-xxxx. If the call is disconnected, the 9-1-1 operator will not be able to connect to the original caller. Also because the cell phone is no longer activated, the 9-1-1 operator is often unable to get Phase II information.[26]
The following text needs to be harmonized with text in VoIP#Emergency_calls. |
If 9-1-1 is dialed from a commercial Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP) service, depending on how the provider handles such calls, the call may not go anywhere at all, or it may go to a non-emergency number at the public safety answering point associated with the billing or service address of the caller.[27] Because a VoIP adapter can be plugged into any broadband internet connection, a caller could actually be hundreds or even thousands of miles away from home, yet if the call goes to an answering point at all, it would be the one associated with the caller's address and not the actual location of the call. It may never be possible to reliably and accurately identify the location of a VoIP user, even if a GPS receiver is installed in the VoIP adapter, since such phones are normally used indoors, and thus may be unable to get a signal.
In March 2005, commercial Internet telephony provider Vonage was sued by the Texas Attorney General, who alleged that their website and other sales and service documentation did not make clear enough that Vonage's provision of 9-1-1 service was not done in the traditional manner. In May 2005 the FCC issued an order requiring VoIP providers to offer 9-1-1 service to all their subscribers within 120 days of the order being published.[28] The order set off anxiety among many VoIP providers, who felt it will be too expensive and require them to adopt solutions that won't support future VoIP products.[citation needed] In Canada, the federal regulators have required Internet Service Providers (ISPs), to provide an equivalent service to the conventional PSAPs, but even these encounter problems with caller location, since their databases rely on company billing addresses.[29]
In May 2010, most VoIP users who dial 9-1-1 are connected to a call center owned by their telephone company, or contracted by them. The operators are most often not trained emergency service providers, and are only there to do their best to connect the caller to the appropriate emergency service. If the call center is able to determine the location of the emergency they try to transfer the caller to the appropriate PSAP. Most often the caller ends up being directed to a PSAP in the general area of the emergency. A 9-1-1 operator at that PSAP must then determine the location of the emergency, and either send help directly, or transfer the caller to the appropriate emergency service. In April 2008, an 18-month-old boy in Calgary, Alberta died after a Toronto VoIP provider's 9-1-1 operator had an ambulance dispatched to the address of the family's previous abode in Mississauga, Ontario.[30]
The US Federal Bureau of Investigation has warned of an increase in deliberate false alarms in which a false origin is displayed on calls to emergency services to send SWAT teams or heavily armed police to unsuspecting citizens' doorsteps.[31] Voice over IP has contributed greatly to the problem by making call origin more difficult to determine quickly and reliably. In California, state governor Jerry Brown has signed legislation imposing liability for the full cost of these false alarms, which can reach $10,000 or more per incident.[32]
When a caller dials 9-1-1, the call is routed to the local public safety answering point. However, if the caller is reporting an emergency in another jurisdiction, the dispatchers may or may not know how to contact the proper authorities. The publicly posted phone numbers for most police departments in the U.S. are non-emergency numbers that often specifically instruct callers to dial 9-1-1 in case of emergency, which does not resolve the issue for callers outside of the jurisdiction. In the age of both commercial and personal high speed Internet communications, this issue is becoming an increasing problem.
NENA has developed the North American 9-1-1 Resource Database which includes the National PSAP Registry. PSAPs can query this database to obtain emergency contact information of a PSAP in another county or state when it receives a call involving another jurisdiction. Online access to this database is provided at no charge for authorized local and state 9-1-1 authorities.[33]
In the 919 area code, including Raleigh, North Carolina and surrounding communities, a second area code (984) was added using an overlay plan in 2011. Starting in March 2012, people making calls from the 919 area code had to dial the entire number including area code even for local calls, and many people started with 9-1-1, realized their mistake, and disconnected. Three months after the change, police in Wake County were responding to six times as many "hang-ups", all of which required a response. This response could be a call-back from the dispatcher (slowing down the ability to respond to actual emergencies), or if that did not get a result, a visit from the police. A supervisor recommended that people remain on the line and explain the mistake.[34][35] For all of 2012, the number of hang-ups in Wake County was nearly three times what it had been before the switch; over 30,000 police responses resulted.[36]
PBX systems can be a problem, when a "9" is required to reach an outside line and "1" used to indicate an area code, and either the telephone buttons have bouncy contacts or the person is jittery and accidentally presses a button multiple times. So, if they end up dialing 9-9-1-1 (rather than 9-1), the first 9 connects to the outside network, and then a 9-1-1 call is placed.
News programs and such shows as Rescue 911 have broadcast actual calls to 9-1-1 centers.
Ohio Senator Tom Patton introduced a bill in 2009 which would have banned the broadcasting of 9-1-1 calls, requiring the use of transcripts instead. Patton believed that people would be reluctant to make calls because of possible retaliation or threats against those who called. He intended to seek proof of this idea to satisfy those who did not believe him, or that broadcasting 9-1-1 calls hurt investigations. The Ohio Fraternal Order of Police supported the bill because broadcasts of 9-1-1 calls have been "sensationalized".[37] Ohio Association of Broadcasters director Chris Merritt said government did not have the right to decide how public records were used.[38] Other opponents of such a ban point out that recordings hold dispatchers accountable and show when they are not doing their jobs properly, in a way transcripts cannot.[39][40]
A bill signed by Alabama governor Bob Riley on April 27, 2010 requires a court order before recordings can be made public. Alaska, Florida, Kentucky, and Wisconsin also had bills banning the broadcasts.[41] Mississippi, Missouri, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Wyoming already banned the broadcasts.[42]
In April 2011, the Tennessee Senate passed a bill banning broadcasts of calls unless the caller gave permission.[43]
North Carolina law defines 911 recordings as public records, but an exception allows officials to release either transcripts or distorted voices.[44]
Some news agencies reported that, by 2018, FCC regulations would have required all phone handsets in the United States to be GPS-capable to better aid in pin-pointing the location of 9-1-1 calls. The rule also was reported to propose using Geolocation software to determine the location of VOIP lines. It's still unclear what the sunset deadline for using old non-GPS phones would be.[45] However, this was contradicted by later reports that the FCC had no intention of making such a policy.[46]

I know its a little early to tell, but what are everybody's takes on the viabilities of ranged adc's post-patch? So far I've noticed them working a little better, especially with the addition of runaan's hurricane and other items. Granted I only play normals at what is almost certainly the lowest of elos, but I'm curious to hear from you guys what your first thoughts post-patch are?
They are definitely viable. However (as with any game plan) taking a ranged ADC into SI should be discussed with your team. A team that is designed around their ADC and plays well together can be absolutely destructive past the 25 minute mark. In my experience, the difficulty is finding the teammates who are on board with, and understand the meaning of, passive play. But when you find those two gents (or gentle ladies) who pick up hard CC and know their role, you guys look like the All American LoL team. Just my thoughts on the matter, but I'm also known as the village idiot too.
Senior Member
I don't think it helped them much. The hurricane is really expensive. If they rush this item you know they will be doing very little damage and they will be an easy target until they do. The majority of the ranged ADC's need to get either an IE or Sanguine Blade first. Both of these require a bit of farming. During this early farming phase is where they suffer (IMO). If the enemy team is smart they just camp whichever lane the ranged ADC is in and put them behind. Most ranged ADC's still requires a team to be built around them or a full lane support. Who I think is even more OP then last patch with the changes is AS AP Kayle. Spellsword mastery is really strong on her. Late game with a Malady, BFT, Nashor's Tooth, Cap, Wits End is some of the most broken damage I have ever seen. You can even switch something out for a hurricane if you wanted. First time I played her on the new patch was vs a Singed, Mundo, Sin and I was able to drop them all within seconds late game. All 3 of them called kayle a broken champ by the end of the game because I had two ways of going invulnerable and the amount of damage. I rarely see Kayle's played and when I do they go AD or Phantom Dancers which doesn't put out near enough damage.
My gold ranked team got destroyed by a ADC on a team designed around her. Cait just rushed a bunch of BF swords. Which surprisingly worked. By the time she had 4 it was pretty much over. We couldn't get to her in team fights because they had too much CC. We even had gap closers, I was running Jax and my friend was Lee. I feel like if you can get some decent damage and then go for a hurricane you could do pretty well. You just have to have good teammates with hard cc to protect you.
I had a lot of fun with Kog and a Runaan's rush. He's probably one of the only champions that can get away with it because of his W. Aside from that, it's almost always a good idea to get your AD up before investing in AS and Crit.
Also, as far as hard CC comrades to party with, Nautilus is way up on the list for me. Nautilus and Amumu are both solid gents to tag along with along with Malphite. Everytime Nautilus is with me he is ALWAYS the unsung hero. We win, I pull a poopload of kills, and I make sure to thank him for everyone of those so he'll want to play with me again haha. To all you Nauties out there, go on brush ya shoulders off.

How Vibrio fischeri copes with the antimicrobial properties of the squid's blood pigment is an unanswered question, but agents with selective antimicrobial activity are not unknown: "People tend to assume that whenever they encounter an antimicrobial, it is meant to kill everything," Ruby notes. "Here, we know some bacteria are being courted."
The second role played by the hemocyanin protein in helping to establish symbiosis is more in keeping with its traditional function of ferrying oxygen. The oxygen-transporting properties of hemocyanin are exploited by the squid as the symbiotic population of Vibrio fischeri requires lots of oxygen to fuel the chemical reaction that causes the microbe to light up in the dark. The animal seems able to direct its symbionts to modulate the acidity of the crypts where they take up residence, creating oxygen rich niches at night while suppressing the flow of oxygen during the day when the squid has no need of its companions' glow.
"At night the squid is creating an environment that is more acidic, where oxygen is more easily dumped," says Ruby.
"Oxygen is really pivotal," adds McFall-Ngai. "There is a lot of energy that goes into making light."
The new findings, according to the Wisconsin biologists, help reveal some of the hidden rules of symbiosis, processes that are also likely occurring in higher animals, including humans, who also depend on microbes to perform critical services.
"There is a dynamic interplay in symbiosis," says McFall-Ngai, who designed and performed the study with UW-Madison post-doctoral fellow Natacha Kremer, the lead author of the Proceedings of the Royal Society B report. "In humans, there is an ecological succession in microbiota. What we are looking for in

Many of us have been working hard on the development of digital menu boards (and digital signage) and investing capital for several years because we believe they are valuable marketing/merchandising tools.
Now that the products have been developed and ready for implementation it's very frustrating to learn that their use is being delayed because of the bad economy. Some large projects have not been implemented because of the lack of capital and others because management is too unsure of the future economic conditions to make a large investment. Many are on hold in a "wait-and-see" position.
Unfortunately, this is only one small example. The same is true of many other hard working people and the exciting new products they have developed. The lack of investment in new technology has a devastating effect on the companies developing the technology, as well as the overall economy. Some go out of business or consolidate with stronger or larger companies. Many employees lose their jobs because of this, which further delays the recovery. Hopefully, we will see this trend stop soon and a recovery take place.
