Masked McDonald's manager allegedly robs own restaurant
PLEASANTON, Calif. - A California McDonald's manager is accused of robbing the restaurant he managed as well as a second franchise, police said.
Felix Jeronimo Gonzalez-Becerra, 42, was later arrested and held in the San Mateo County Jail, ABC News reported.
Officials said a Hispanic male robbed a McDonald's on Aug. 28 around 3 a.m.
Police said the suspect climbed through the drive-thru window wearing a mask, hoodie and gloves used for food preparation.
The suspect pointed a gun at employees, demanded cash from the office safe and forced the employees into a walk-in freezer, police said. He then escaped with the cash.
On the evening of Sept. 2, police responded to an armed robbery at a second McDonald's.
This time, the suspect entered the store from the front, forced employees into the refrigerator at gunpoint and forced an employee to open the safe before he escaped with cash, police said.
ABC News reported that later that night, an officer spotted a dark-colored Chrysler PT Cruiser on Highway 92 headed towards the San Mateo Bridge, the same make of car allegedly used in both robberies, police said.
The driver, identified by police as Becerra, was pulled over on Interstate 880 and inside the car they allegedly found a black and gray hooded sweatshirt, along with a black backpack and silver replica revolver allegedly used in the crime, police said. Money identified as stolen in the robbery was also recovered, ABC News reported.
Police said that the connection between the two crimes was made the morning after the arrest. Officials realized the description of the suspect, the vehicle and the weapon used in both robberies were the same.
According to a statement by San Mateo and Pleasanton police, Becerra is currently being held at the San Mateo County Jail and criminal charges will be sought through the Alameda County District Attorney's office, ABC News reported.

The Huskies notched a 2-2 tie on Friday night against top-ranked New Hampshire at Matthews Arena, improving their record to 1-1-2 and 0-0-1 in Hockey East.
NU goalie Keni Gibson played masterfully, stopping 43 shots, while New Hampshire (2-0-3, 0-0-1) got a similar effort from Mike Ayers, who made 40 saves.
"It was a crowd pleaser and a coach's nightmare," said NU head coach Bruce Crowder after the game. He credited Gibson with a great effort and complimented the Husky defense for clearing away the rebounds.
New Hampshire's Jim Abbott netted the first goal of the night, knocking a rebound past Gibson at 8:36 of the opening period. A UNH shot hit the far post and bounced to Abbott, who was able put it away. Preston Callande and Patrick Foley assisted on the play.
The Huskies came right back, winning the ensuing faceoff and tying the game at 1-1 only 23 seconds later. Tim Judy took the puck at center ice and scored his first goal of the season, assisted by Brian Tudrick and Trevor Reschny.
Senior Joe Mastronardi made the score 2-1 at 13:34 of the second period as Scott Selig and Eric Ortlip assisted. The goal was Mastronardi's second of the season.
UNH came back to tie the score at 2-2 less than three minutes later, as Sean Collins slid the puck between Gibson's skates at 16:10 in the second period.
The third period was dominated by the goalies, as the two combined to make 28 saves. The Huskies controlled play at the start, sending a barrage of shots at UNH goalie Avers, but he was unbeatable. Play evened out as the period went on, but both goalies continued to control the game and sent it into overtime.
The overtime period was more of the same, with the teams going back and forth and the goalies stopping everything. The 2-2 final gives NU an 8-3-4 record against first or second ranked teams since Crowder became head coach.
The Huskies take on Wisconsin on Saturday night in Matthews arena. Game time is 7 p.m.

Andrew Ross Sorkin of the New York Times recently wrote an article about the new owners of the Los Angeles Dodgers, and it wasn't exactly flattering.
Mr. Walter, along with his colleague Todd Boehly, Guggenheim's president, appear to be living out a childhood fantasy using other people's money, some of whom may not even realize it.
In addition to their own cash, Mr. Walter plans to use money from Guggenheim subsidiaries that are insurance companies — some state-regulated — to pay for a big chunk of his purchase of the Dodgers. Guggenheim controls Guggenheim Life, a life insurer, and Security Benefit, which manages some $30 billion, among others.
So basically, the inference is that they are taking money from other people and spending it for themselves.
Josh Koblin of Deadspin joins in as well, saying it's all too good to be true.
Did it seem too good to be true when news hit that Magic Johnson and a series of investors had $2 billion to pay for the Dodgers, to rescue the team from financial ruin? Yup. Two weeks later, it looks too good to be true.
Tom Verducci of Sports Illustrated says others have concerns as well.
Major League Baseball officials have expressed concern that Guggenheim Baseball Management, the winning bidders for the Los Angeles Dodgers, has been slow to produce the details of the bid and the structure of its management team, according to several sources familiar with the sale process.
Several individual owners have joined baseball officials in questioning why the Guggenheim group, led by Mark Walter, Stan Kasten and Magic Johnson, has not filed a more detailed Purchase and Sale Agreement more than a week after the group was selected from among three finalists by Frank McCourt, the outgoing owner who is selling the club through U.S. Bankruptcy Court.
Not good, right?
Well, according to the New York Times, what is the major malfunction?
Using insurance money — which is typically supposed to be invested in simple, safe assets — to buy a baseball team, the ultimate toy for the ultrarich, seems like a lawsuit waiting to happen. Mr. Walters has been somewhat open in acknowledging that Guggenheim's companies will be tapped, but the investor group has not disclosed how much of the purchase price is coming from individuals.
A lawsuit … why?
How is a baseball team not a simple and safe asset anyway? The only reason Frank McCourt was forced to sell to begin with was because of his divorce, and even then, he ACTUALLY DID steal from Dodgers fans for his own personal use, got away with it, declared bankruptcy, and is now a billionaire. Is there any way to try HARDER to lose everything in a baseball franchise and still not do it?
Yet I'm supposed to panic about the new owners tapping an insurance company under their control for funds, as if the Dodgers are going to go belly up and screw over all those insured by the company under the Guggenheim Partners umbrella?
In fairness, many insurance companies use their premiums to make investments, including private equity and real estate deals, a slice of which can sometimes even be speculative. As long as the insurance companies meet minimum capital requirements as determined by various regulators, they do not run afoul of the law.
Oh, so the big deal here is surely that they haven't gotten cleared by the regulators, right?
People involved in the process who are close to Guggenheim said that while the company was using its insurance companies to pay for the Dodgers, it was a very good, prudent deal for its investors and policyholders. As long-term investors, these people said, the new owners could afford to be patient to see a return.
One person involved in the deal, as a point of comparison, noted that MetLife had paid $400 million for the naming rights to Giants Stadium. "This is a much better deal," this person said. As for MetLife, "They don't own anything."
In a statement, one of Guggenheim's regulators, Stephen W. Robertson, the Indiana commissioner of insurance, said: "Guggenheim's past dealings with the Indiana Department of Insurance have demonstrated to us that the company and its representatives are of the highest integrity, and we have not taken exception to any interest Guggenheim may have in the Los Angeles Dodgers, nor do we plan to do so."
So the regulators don't see the problem either. Wait, what am I supposed to be pissed about again?
I'm seriously not trying to be an apologist here. If anything, I'm even more cautious about owners now, which is the only reason I'm even addressing this, but it just seems to me like there's not even smoke here, just a bunch of people yelling fire.

Soaps Boards :: The Young and the Restless Forum :: Hillary the blogger avenging Rose???
Please register and login to be able to post in this message board.
She is Rose's daughter huh and trying to shred Neil's life "like he did hers" by "killing" Rose? Right??? okay, case closed.
So why does Hillary think Neil had something to do with Rose's death? We saw what happened and even if Hillary doesn't know what happened, why did she go right to blaming Neil?
So far we have Neil getting wasted with a RED HEAD who appears to be dead when he left! Same regime had Jack wasted with a younger RED HEAD and when he woke up she was dead! Both Neil and Jack addicts and neither pairing engaged in sex! Is there a connection? Wheeler told Jack he understood but what he resented was his daughter being toss in a ditch like trash! Wheeler is in prison and was connected to Belinda by having an affair and killing the woman who Gus was married to and Gus was friends with Rose who Belinda knew of! Why wouldn't Rose be connected to Wheeler as well? I'm not convinced that Hillary is the blogger or that she knew Rose! I do think Hillary may be related to people in Genoa City just not who we think!
I don't think Hillary had anything to do with the blogging at first. I think that the REAL GC blogger is laying low once he/she realized what Hillary was doing...to interfere with Lily and Cane's marriage. Seems to me like the blog entries now differ a LOT from before. The new posts aren't even passages from Neils journal anymore which was the bloggers initial m.o. I think Hillary saw an easy way to target the "happy couple" without them getting suspicious of her. I don't think she's tied to Rose. More like home wrecking for Cane and Lily. There's still more to be said/seen regarding this Rose/Neil/blogger situation and I don't think Hillary has anything to do with it.

The Yankee Pedlar Inn - Torrington, CT
Details Of Our Investigation
Hover over photo for photo evidence display!
Yankee Pedlar Lobby
YouTube Channel Video
June & September 2012
We have had so many idea's of how we would want to do things and run investigations as professional as possible. So, here you go folks! This is where THOUGHTS BECOME THINGS. If there is something that you are drawn to do then JUST DO IT! So, here we go.
We spent the few days we had getting our Ghost Gear together and making our lists and checking them twice. We were very excited for this opportunity and about as ready as we would be. While we host with us all of the usual instruments to measure paranormal activity we have grown to know that God has given us the best tools ever… our senses including the most precious gift ever – common sense. For us, investigative work comes naturally and of course the fact that Ken has been doing investigations for 25 plus years also really enhances our ability to look at all sides of the coin. We have a beautiful blend as a duo, we acknowledge how each situation makes us feel, what we we get at first blush and then we take a step back and work with our debunking and reasoning skills. Most of all we have fun and learn something new each time!
So, having said that …
We were on our way!
Once we were a bit settled in we decided to walk the halls to take some daytime photographs and perhaps talk to a few more people to see what we could learn.
We were able to photograph most of the Inn accept the basement this time. We would later cover the basement pretty extensively in our Part Two Investigation.
Hearing all of the stories about the Inn really made our experience come alive and look forward to sharing our own experiences.
This is Mrs. Conley's Rocking Chair in the Front Lobby of the Pedlar.
The rocking chair is blocked off so that no one can sit in it, but there are known stories of where the chair has rocked on its own.
Mrs. Conley's Chair did not move while we were around it during our investigation stay.
Right before dinner we decided to stop back at the room for a few minutes. We left one of our digital audio recorders running in the Conley's room the whole time that we were at the Inn. Later during evidence review we came across an EVP clip that was recorded just as we entered the room just before we went back out to have dinner. This clip can be heard on our evidence page here....
"Our goal is to connect with the spirit world and
learn as much as possible.
Our belief is that a deeper connection
is to be established and understood.
Our focus is to capture and share
as much of these experiences with you."
We love this EVP because we do believe that with the right intentions you will find what you are looking for. With other intentions you will attract likewise. No matter the interpretation, it is a pretty amazing class "A" EVP and we are happy to share it with you!
FINALLY, It was time for Dinner!
We decided to dine at
Bogey's Restaurant & Pub.
What a fantastic choice!
We were seated in the restaurant area of Bogey's, small and quaint. To start, I ordered a glass of Merlot and water for Ken. For our appetizer we decided on a Chicken Caesar salad and wow! The chicken was so tender and everything was perfectly blended within the salad. YUM! The chicken Caesar salad was not only so good but filled us up quite well. That in itself is good for a meal!
Later, during evidence review we realized that the female voice from earlier was indeed chiming in again!
We were able to clip the audio and bring it forward to be heard.
The employee that we were speaking with was in the middle of talking about the basement and of how she herself doesn't usually feel comfortable going into the basement. As she is in mid-sentence you can hear the voice say, "Work On The 3rd Floor We'd Like To Ask Her". We can tell that the woman must have been standing right beside us as the only other noise was background noise. Pretty Neat! The voice is the same as the one who said, "Never Going To Track Me By Ignoring The Light." While this voice has yet to be identified with a name it is our assumption that it is indeed perhaps the late Mrs. Conley since it is her room we are staying in. Mrs. Conley is also the one we have been addressing since we had been there.
It was approaching midnight, and we decided to step out to a local gas station for a quick snack and to walk around.
When we returned to the Conley's room we decided to watch a little bit of the movie "The Innkeepers" while we enjoyed our snack. We were able to get the movie to play on our kindle fire and relax for a bit. Neither Ken or I had seen the movie before. We both found it a strange feeling to be in the place where the movie was filmed and to be watching the movie at the same time. A little way's into the movie I felt what seemed like someone tapping me on my leg. I reacted accordingly but was not frightened. I am used to these kinds of feelings as I have them often as a sensitive. I had hoped we would have something on audio to back up the feeling but instead it is something catalogued as an interesting experience.
Shortly after the 3 o'clock "ruckus hour" we were pulled from our sleep by a loud crash. Ken gets up to investigate and finds that a tripod had been knocked down in Mr. Conley's half of the room. This footage can be seen on our YouTube Channel here.
Later, after our 2nd investigation at the Inn we were going over our video clips on our YouTube Channel. As we were listening to the audio portion of the tripod footage being knocked over we heard a familiar voice frequency that we picked up in an EVP clip from our Part Two investigation. This means that the same male energy was present with us at both investigations and in Mr. Conley's portion of the room suite. As previously stated the tripod was located in Mr. Conley's room when it was knocked over.
We will be going over the audio to see if we can understand what he is saying and put both audio clips side by side to compare. For now, you can hear the Part Two Investigation clip listed on our evidence page. The clip is titled "Help Me".
Perhaps this requires further investigating!
As our first investigation at the Pedlar came to a close we knew we still had our work cut out for us. We still had all of our audio, video and photo's to look through once we returned home. For us, this is the exciting part to see what evidence might have been captured. Evidence Review time!
We enjoyed our stay at the Pedlar and knew we would return again soon!
Within the first hour or so of our evidence review we discovered our first EVP. During our investigation we left an audio recorder in room 353 (The Conley's Room) the whole time that we were there. The audio captures us coming into the room from walking around the Inn doing our first picture sweep. You hear Ken and I talking back and forth in the room and then a second female voice chime in right over our voices. We believe it to be a response from perhaps Mrs. Conley. Before we began our investigation we spent some time addressing Mrs. Conley letting her know who we were and setting our intention. We asked her to join us during our time there and to communicate sharing anything she felt we ought to know.
The voice says, "Never Going To Track Me By Ignoring The Light".
This is the EVP we captured: http://soundcloud.com/newenglandsparanormalduo/never-going-to-track-me
Our second EVP captured at the Pedlar was during an interview in the Lobby with one of the employees at the time. As we are recording our interview the same female voice chimes in once again. The employee was talking about how the basement makes her uncomfortable.
The voice says, " Work On The Third Floor We'd Like To Ask Her."
This is the EVP we captured: http://soundcloud.com/newenglandsparanormalduo/work-on-the-third-floor
We are excited about these clips because we know we have made direct contact here!
We were running late as usual but due to circumstances out of our control. We made it to the Pedlar just about the usual 6:00 dinner time. We checked in and introduced ourselves to the friendly gal behind the front desk who we hadn't seen before. Our first priority was to locate and meet with the owner Sanjay to go over evidence from our first investigation. We were very excited about this!
After we got the general layout of the basement we decided that it was time for a quick bite to eat.
Upon our return we would run wire and set up a couple camera's in the basement.
There have been a couple stories about the basement and descriptions that the basement has made people feel uncomfortable. We were going to decide for ourselves.
We have never really been a big fan of The 99, but we decided to give it a try. It was convenient and just down the road from the Pedlar by 5 minutes or so. The food was okay to Ken but blah by my taste standards.
Everything started off great! Our appetizer was a Seafood Chowder that was out of this world! We DEFINITELY would recommend the Seafood Chowder for sure! We also had a Garden Salad with Raspberry Balsamic dressing, and that was very good also!
One of my post favorite meals is Chicken Parm as a rule, and when I saw it on the menu I decided to make that my dinner selection. How could I go wrong with Chicken Parmesan! Well, if you are one that likes a lot of flavor in your food … DO NOT order this dish expecting to be wowed with flavor. It tasted like it came right out of the box and nuked. No love whatsoever. (lol) I know…. looks REALLY good by looking at the picture and looked Really good when I got it. Blah.
Ken ordered the Shrimp Toscana with Linguini and also found this dish to be presenting but lacking flavor and zest. We ordered dessert in hopes that the experience would redeem itself. Both the Key Lime Pie and Cannoli Chips Desserts were VERY good! These we would definitely recommend! YUM!
I would say that The 99 still remains one of our least favorite places to stop for a meal.
However, if you are looking for a place to have a drink, snack or dessert the 99 would be great!
One we returned to the Inn from dinner we began running wire to the basement and setting up camera's. Ken was in the middle of setting up a camera in the area outside the laundry room door as I took snap shots of the surrounding area. All of a sudden I felt something on my hand and a presence up against me. This prompted me to say, no touching and to set the intention with the energy there. What is interesting is the photo snap I took right after having the feeling of being touched. There is a white circle in the middle of the picture. Hover over the photo to see another image without the circle. This sort of anomaly appeared in various basement pictures.
One of his stories is that of waking from sleeping and finding the night stand drawer pulled out and on the floor.
Luke being a long time employee of the Pedlar shared some more of his stories too.
One night while on duty, he heard someone punch the door near by real hard. He also witnessed a shadow figure whip around the corner and block off the light with its body. Luke said, "I'm Not In The Mood For This Tonight" and it went by one more time and then it was gone.
As told in one of our earlier blog entries, Luke tells the story of a plate that flips forward off a high shelf in the lobby. He said it was about 3 a.m. and it was like something pushed the plate forward and it fell to the ground without breaking.
Another time he heard a woman's voice whisper his name "Luke".
He also had a recorder going one night and captured this EVP:
Final Conclusion :
September 23, 2012
Equipment Readings
We did not work with our meters as much as we usually do during these investigations.
The only meter we used was the K2 meter, and there wasn't anything significant to record.
Personal Experiences
There were three distinct personal experiences during our investigations at the Yankee Pedlar. The first experience was felt by Jenn while watching the movie "The Innkeepers" during a snack break. It was an unexpected tapping on her leg as if someone was trying to get her attention. The experience was acknowledged out loud in case later during evidence review the audio captured something as well. After review of the audio there wasn't anything else recorded to back up this experience. We still catalogue all experiences felt by either one of us. The second personal experience was a clairaudient experience by Jenn during the second investigation upon entry of The Conley's Room for the first time. We were setting down our bags in Mr. Conley's room, and a faint male voice was heard quickly as if someone where laying down on the bed and was disturbed. Jenn asked Ken if heard that and he did not. Unfortunately, we had just arrived and did not have our audio recorders on at the time. (now we know better) The third personal experience was also felt by Jenn while investigating the basement for the first time. The experience occurred right outside the laundry room. A feeling was felt on Jenn's hand as if being touched. This prompted photographs to be taken and an anomaly to be captured in the same area.
Photograph Evidence
The most common evidence photo's of the paranormal are those that capture orbs. Even some orb photographs can be controversial but the brightness of this orb in the Pedlar Lobby speaks for itself. The rest of the photograph's that we share is catalogued under "Interesting" as we acknowledge them. Some of the photo's that fall under this category are : Casper Looking Face , Basement Anomaly Following Feeling, Basement Anomalies
EVP Evidence
The EVP's captured during our investigations were amazing confirmations that we made direct connections with energies around us. It goes to show that if you treat Ghost and Spirit's with the respect that you would to someone in the body that you will establish a much better connection. The old saying goes, "You attract more flies with honey". Ghost and Spirits are people too! Our first EVP was recorded in Mrs. Conley's room shortly after we set our intention of wanting to connect with her. We believe this could very well be her direct response, "Your Never Going To Track Me By Ignoring The Light". Our second EVP was recorded in the lobby during an interview with an employee. The same woman's voice captured in the first EVP can be heard again! This time the voice says, " Work On The Third Floor We'd Like To Ask Her." The Conley's Room is on the third floor so this makes sense to be the same voice! Our third EVP was recorded just as we were packing up and getting ready to leave from our second investigation. As the water is running, (water is a conduit for spirit as you know) a male voice can be heard saying, "Help me, Will you help me."
Final Statement
We enjoyed both of our stays and investigations at the Yankee Pedlar! We look forward to returning each chance we get because there are most definitely energies here to be connected with and understood. We thank Sanjay and the Pedlar staff for being supportive and accommodating during each investigation.

Pie social helps garden grow
Hundreds of pie lovers got a slice of heaven Sunday while supporting a program that helps high school students cultivate garden skills.
The variety of crusty desserts included some far out of the box – garlic, onion and turnips.
But the old standbys were there – chocolate, key lime and strawberry.
It was the fifth annual pie social organized by SEEDS – a nonprofit educational community garden on Gilbert Street near the main Durham County Library downtown.
Money from Sunday's social – expected to reach $5,000 – goes to the Durham Inner-city Gardener program, a high school program "to cultivate leadership and garden skills," according to Alexis Mastromichalis, office administrator for SEEDS.
Every year, she said, students grow food in the 2.5-acre garden and sell it at the Durham Farmers' Market.
Tony Sanchez, a 19-year-old senior at Southern School of Engineering in Durham, participates in the garden program and said he likes "the friendly people" there. Sanchez was staffing a table with donated pies that included raspberry, pecan-chocolate, apple crust and blueberry.
Betsy Bickel of Durham was sampling a slice of Death by Chocolate, but said the Grim Reaper had not arrived.
"I'm still alive," she said. "I'm trying to save some pie for my husband, but I don't know if it's going to make it home."
Bickel praised the SEEDS program for its "beautiful garden."
"They're doing great work teaching kids about growing stuff," she said. "I'm really proud of them."
Lucy Roberts of Carrboro sampled five slices of pie, some with vanilla ice cream on top. One was made with turnips, cinnamon and nutmeg.
"I thought that sounded really bizarre and interesting, so I tried it and liked it," she said. "It's not too sweet, but good."
For Jarrod Smith of Durham, the lemon verbena pie was tops.
"They're all really good, but the lemon verbena one is crazy," he said.
Smith, who used to tutor SEEDS students, said he likes what the organization does.
"I like that it supports the community, and me and my girlfriend are into local, organic food," he said.
Sarah Campbell was enjoying buttermilk pie with raspberry syrup and whipped cream while her black Labrador retriever, Molly, was snapping up bits of crust that fell to the ground.
Campbell said SEEDS has made Durham a better place.
"I think what SEEDS is doing is great for food sustainability, and I like how they work with other groups," she said. "It's a great organization."

The 30-year-old midfielder featured heavily in Wednesday's League One promotion campaign, going on to rack up 25 appearances and two goals, including a stunning strike on the opening day of last season.
He joined the Owls in 2011 on a free transfer from Swindon Town and has also had spells at Colchester United, Leeds United, Nottingham Forest and Southampton, with Saints forking out £2.5-million for his services.
His loan move to Glanford Park was completed in time for the midfielder to go straight into Alan Knill's squad for the Capital One Cup clash with Premier League side Norwich.

For law enforcement professionals, LED flashlights are more than just handy gadgets – they're crucial tools for investigation, applying non-lethal force and accurately aiming firearms. Tactical flashlights may be integrated into weapons, but most of the time police officers and other law enforcement personnel carry separate LED flashlights, which can be used for everything from non-lethal crowd control to checking the sobriety of a driver.
The bright beam of an LED flashlight in the eyes is often enough to stop a criminal in his or her tracks. Perhaps law enforcement experts' most critical use of LED flashlights is in illuminating high-risk situations. If you're pursuing an armed assailant, an LED flashlight can make a life-or-death difference. Below is a look at how law enforcement professionals can benefit from LED flashlights.
1. Pure, consistent light.
When your life could depend on properly seeing what's going on in front of you, you don't want to mess around with weaker incandescent flashlights. Dim, inconsistent light could put your life or your job as a law enforcement professional at risk. For instance, the news is rife with cases in which a suspect pulls out an object such as a wallet and law enforcement officials mistake it for a gun, fatally shooting the suspect. LED flashlights help prevent this sort of situation by providing bright, reliable, consistent light, thereby enabling you to more accurately perceive your surroundings.
However, remember that not all LED flashlights are created equal. Some manufacturers build more quality and durability into their models. The more reliable law enforcement LED flashlights are tactical. They cost a bit more than the layperson's LED torch, but tactical LED flashlights are made to withstand daily use by cops, firemen and others. Quality makes a big difference here. Some makers of high-end LED flashlights design special optical systems that just can't be found in your average flashlight. For instance, if you look straight into the beam of the HP7 model from COAST, you'll notice what appears to be a lens within a lens. This expert design makes for more consistent light output.
2. Superior ergonomic design.
Many law enforcement professionals use their trusty LED flashlights every day. Tools that are used on such a regular basis should be comfortable to hold. High-quality tactical LED flashlights such as the HP7 are designed to fit perfectly in the palm of your hand. The all-aluminum construction of the HP7 (save for a few gaskets and wires, of course) makes for a solid, sturdy feel. A precise, easy-to-use power switch at the base makes for confident use.
3. More versatile light settings.
Whereas lower-quality LED flashlights tend to boast a single brightness setting, tactical LED flashlights typically offer several. IN the case of COAST's HP7, you can choose between two brightness settings: 251 lumens or 58 lumens. Because flashlights that deliver more lumens will shine farther, higher brightness settings are ideal for when you're chasing a suspect or need to scope out far-away objects. When on the 251-lumen setting, the HP7 can shine a distance of 643 feet. To give a sense of context, 643 feet is equivalent to the length of two or three city blocks. That sort of reach is extremely helpful when pursuing a suspect.
However, this extremely bright light would be too bright for your average DUI test. Shining a 251-lumen flashlight in someone's eyes to test for normal pupil dilation might even get you in trouble in court. The lower 58-lumen setting is better for close-up work, including traffic stops. Another advantage: Lower lumen settings require less power, so you'll go through batteries less quickly.
4. Long run time and high battery efficiency.
Reliability is key for law enforcement professionals. Nothing's scarier than the idea of flicking on your torch, only to realize it's run out of batteries. Tactical LED flashlights should offer longer run time and improved battery efficiency than run-of-the-mill flashlights. Getting back to our example, the HP7, this model can run for 5 hours, 45 minutes on the high setting and 10 full hours on the low setting.
5. Extremely bright spotlight and usable perimeter of light.
Many tactical LED flashlights include light-focusing technology. For instance, the HP7 can be adjusted to deliver more scattered light over a larger area or a very bright spotlight in a smaller beam. COAST's Pure Beam Focusing Optic in the HP7 actually creates a lighter halo around a very bright spotlight. This is helpful for law enforcement professionals, who may choose to keep the spotlight on the suspect while also monitoring the surrounding area by way of the halo. One thing cops and other law enforcement professionals should look for: a focus locking mechanism, to ensure that their LED flashlights remain at exactly the right setting in tense, delicate moments. In the HP7, the focus setting may be locked in place.

You never get a second chance to make a first impression. Microsoft's press conference was the first of E3 2012, putting it in an advantageous position to set the bar by which other conferences would be measured. And although Microsoft faltered at times, the strong opening of its show generated a great deal of excitement around games that Xbox owners care about. And when they drifted from games, it was to showcase technology that might end up having a significant impact on how people use their smartphones, tablets, and Xboxes in the long term. It was this combination of core gaming appeal and significant consumer-focused advancements that put Microsoft at the head of the pack in a year of underwhelming pressers.
Microsoft started the show with a showstopper: a revealing gameplay demo for Halo 4 that gave us lots of reasons to be excited about the new game. It presented Halo 4 as more than a new sequel in an established franchise; it made the game look like something of a fresh start for the series, with a setting and enemies that are wildly different from those that Master Chief has faced in the past.
After that rousing opening, Don Mattrick came out and spouted some typical market-speak about game lineups, entertainment partners, and, of course, the power of the Kinect. This could have brought the show to a screeching halt, but instead, he kept it short, the lights went down again, and the still-lingering momentum generated by the Halo demo carried over into another surprising showing, this one for Splinter Cell: Blacklist. By front-loading their conference with this one-two punch of action that appeals to the core gaming crowd, Microsoft generated enough excitement to carry us through the dull but necessary talk of new video partners, games with Kinect features, and the like.
And as my colleague Tom Mc Shea has pointed out, Microsoft's handling of the Kinect was much smarter this year than it has been in the past. Rather than demonstrations of motion controls crammed into games where they didn't make sense, what we saw this year was mostly sensible voice options, like the ability to call audibles in Madden 13. When motion controls were demoed, as for the downloadable game Wreckateer, they made sense; that game is built from the ground up to take advantage of the Kinect and to fit well with the device's control limitations.
Then, there was SmartGlass. Some may balk at the amount of time Microsoft devoted to something whose gaming-related applications seem lacking, but it was an unexpected demonstration of some useful technology that speaks volumes about how Microsoft's philosophy differs from those of its competitors. It's a fact of modern life: smartphones and tablets aren't going anywhere, and Microsoft doesn't make the most of them. Rather than ignoring this fact or trying to fight it, MS is capitalizing on it, fusing these ubiquitous technologies to your entertainment experiences with Xbox.
The ability to start watching a show or film on a smart device and then continue it on your television sounds like a natural progression--the sort of development that, in a few years, we might take for granted and wonder how we ever did without it. And with shows like Game of Thrones that have complex geography or intricate plotlines, the supplemental information SmartGlass gives you easy access to can definitely enrich your understanding and enjoyment. Nothing in Nintendo's conference or Sony's conference took a wider view of the entertainment landscape quite like this, presenting something that could have a significant impact on how we use the things we use every day.
From that point on, Microsoft kept things moving along nicely, with plenty of stuff that people who play games are interested in, including a fast-paced action sequence from Tomb Raider and a fantastic trailer for South Park: The Stick of Truth. (Trey Parker and Matt Stone brought some much-needed levity to what had been a thoroughly stuffy conference up to that point.) Ultimately, Microsoft's presser struck a smart balance between things we know we want (New Halo!) and things we don't know we want, but that we may find essential in the near future.'

This application claims benefit of U.S. Provisional application No. 60/252,995, filed Nov. 22, 2000, the content of which is herein incorporated by reference in its entirety.
This invention relates to wireless communication systems, and more particularly to providing a system that allows wireless communication system mobile terminal users to set reminders or actions in general to occur or be triggered based on a wireless terminal's location or location dynamics.
Cellular telephones may operate under a variety of standards including the code division multiple access (CDMA) cellular telephone communication system as described in TIA/EIA, IS-95, Mobile station-Base Station Compatibility Standard for Dual-Mode Wideband Spread Spectrum Cellular System, published July 1993. CDMA is a technique for spread-spectrum multiple-access digital communications that creates channels through the use of unique code sequences. In CDMA systems, signals can be and are received in the presence of high levels of interference. The practical limit of signal reception depends on the channel conditions, but CDMA reception in the system described in the aforementioned IS-95 Standard can take place in the presence of interference that is 18 dB larger than the signal for a static channel. Typically, the system operates with a lower level of interference and dynamic channel conditions.
Wireless communication systems are beginning to incorporate network-based and network-assisted location determination systems. Some wireless handsets have network assisted GPS capability. Some CDMA wireless handsets make use of the wireless communication signals themselves to perform location-related measurements such as in Enhanced Forward Link Trilateration (EFLT) or Advanced Forward Link Trilateration (AFLT) which use the difference in phase delays of wireless signals as input to location calculations. Other wireless communication systems, such as some telematics products incorporate stand-alone capabilities such as GPS. Wireless terminals without location capabilities may also have access to location related information. For example, the base station that a mobile station communicates with may have a unique identifier that identifies that particular base station to the mobile or signal conditions may be recognized from past observations. These types of information inherently identify the mobile general location as being the same as at some prior time.
Location information can be used to enable location-based services. Similarly, location-based services can be network or terminal based or distributed between wireless communication system entities. Distributed or network based services generally require active communication and use of wireless resources such as communication channels. For example, the TIA/EIA location protocol standard IS-801 enables network-assisted GPS via messaging over the CDMA wireless link between infrastructure and terminals. Such resources may be expensive, limited and have quality of service impacts on usage such as moderate or high latency. The present invention focuses on both overcoming the necessity for using wireless communication connections to supply position location, such as network assisted, network based or standalone position location technologies, as well as providing a practical location-based service to terminal users.
The present invention provides a system that allows users of wireless mobile terminals to set reminders, alerts, or other actions to be triggered based on location or dynamics. Consider for example, that a user of a wireless handset realizes that he or she wants to pick up some groceries on the way home as he or she passes a grocery store on the way to work. Using the present invention, the user can command the terminal to set a reminder in the form of, for example, a voice memo "buy groceries". The user may then select that this reminder be played back upon re-entering the current general location. At this point, the invention stores information relating to the current location and begins monitoring. Such location information may include, but is not limited to, a specific location description such as latitude, longitude and a radius describing a generally circular region in which the terminal is located. Alternatively, such location information may include location-related information such as base station or sector identification or signal condition profiles. The system of the present invention monitors the location information until the programmed conditions are satisfied. In the example considered above, this would translate to detecting that the terminal left the area where the reminder was programmed and then re-entered that area. Once the location condition is satisfied the system of the present invention triggers the programmed reminder which, in the example considered, involves playing back a voice memo recording for the user.
An example of a stored location reminder consists of a recorded voice memo saying "pick up schematics from factory" associated with location information describing the general location of the factory and orientation information specifying that the reminder should only be triggered upon entering the factory area.
These and other features and advantages of the invention will become more apparent upon reading the following detailed description and upon reference to the accompanying drawings.
A mobile terminal 106 is capable of receiving data from and transmitting data to a base station 104. In one embodiment, the mobile terminal 106 receives and transmits data according to the Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) standard. CDMA is a communication standard permitting mobile users of wireless communication devices to exchange data over a telephone system wherein radio signals carry data to and from the wireless devices.
Under the CDMA standard, additional cells 108 a, 108 c, 108 d, and 108 e adjacent to the cell 108 b permit mobile terminals 106 to cross cell boundaries without interrupting communications. This is so because base stations 104 a, 104 c, 104 d, and 104 e in adjacent cells assume the task of transmitting and receiving data for the mobile terminals 106. The mobile switching center 102 coordinates all communication to and from mobile terminals 106 in a multi-cell region. Thus, the mobile switching center 102 may communicate with many base stations 104.
Mobile terminals 106 may move about freely within the cell 108 while communicating either voice or data. Mobile terminals 106 not in active communication with other telephone system users may, nevertheless, scan base station 104 transmissions in the cell 108 to detect any telephone calls or paging messages directed to the mobile terminal 106.
One example of such a mobile terminal 106 is a cellular telephone used by a pedestrian who, expecting a telephone call, powers on the cellular telephone while walking in the cell 108. The cellular telephone scans certain frequencies (frequencies known to be used by CDMA) to synchronize communication with the base station 104. The cellular telephone then registers with the mobile switching center 102 to make itself known as an active user within the CDMA network.
The mobile terminal also includes memory for storing location related information ("remembered" locations) and trigger or action information. The terminal also includes a position-monitoring function that compares one or more "remembered" locations with current location information.
Once the user selects to program a reminder 205, the terminal may request the user to describe the reminder according to one or more parameters 210. Optionally the terminal may allow the user to quickly select a default set of parameters. Examples of parameters include specifying a text reminder message to be displayed or selecting a sound to be played.
The user may be prompted to use a stored location or the current location. Alternatively, as shown in
The terminal also stores the location reminder trigger and action information and a reference to the current location 220. The terminal then monitors 225 the current location until it is outside of the "set" location area. For example, the terminal monitors the current location information and detects when the terminal has handed-off to another base-station or has exceeded a pre-set distance from the stored location. The mobile may detect that it is has transitioned out of the area described by the stored location information or that the current location matches the stored location information 230 but the direction of travel may also be checked 235. For example, in the case where the mobile terminal is transitioning to an area outside the location described by the stored information, i.e. exiting the location, it may not trigger the stored action but rather return to continue monitoring 225. The mobile terminal may then continue monitoring until the current location again matches or is similar to the stored location.
The mobile may monitor the current location periodically, whenever a significant change occurs, whenever a certain pre-programmed change occurs, whenever a call is made, a handoff occurs or any system conditions change.
The mobile terminal monitors the current location and triggers the stored action when it detects that it has reentered the vicinity of the stored-location, i.e. entering the location described by the stored location information. The action is triggered 240 when both the location matches 230 the stored location and the direction matches the stored trigger information 235. Direction may be described, for example, as either entering a defined stored location or as exiting a defined stored location. A practical example of using this is a person who, while driving to work, wants to program a reminder for himself/herself to run an errand after work. The user would program the reminder action such as a voice memo to be played and select his/her office location as well as specify that the reminder should trigger only when exiting the office.
If the user programs the reminder to recur or repeat then the process returns to continue monitoring 225.
The mobile terminal may therefore consider itself outside Area A only once it has reached location 304. At this time the mobile terminal can check if any stored location information or triggers match the condition that occurred, i.e. that it exited Area A 350. If a stored reminder matches this information then it is triggered and the associated action is executed. Since a reminder was stored with location 300, when the mobile terminal returns to Area A 350 at location 308, for example, the action associated with that stored reminder is executed.
If the user selects to choose a location then screen 410 is displayed. The user may then select a location that has already been stored or the current location. Having selected a stored location, the user may then select the specific stored location information 415. The mobile terminal may allow the user to store locations without alerts that can be used later. For example, a user may store a location "work" when he/she is at work so that this tag can be easily associated with a reminder at a later time, perhaps repeatedly or on different occasions and for different purposes.
Alternatively the user may select the current location and provide a text name to be associated with it 420. Optionally, the user may then be able to select the orientation of the location trigger. For example, the user may select that the reminder be triggered only when exiting the region, entering the region or in both cases 425. Alternatively the user may select from a sequence of events such as 2nd time entering the region. The user may also select to be reminded only upon leaving an area or entering an area independently or exclusively. For example, a user may set an alert to remind him/her to go to an appointment after leaving a meeting.
The user is able to enter the text message in screen 435 if desired according to a selection made in screen 430 or use a default message. The user is then able to select whether the reminder is repeated or not in screen 440. The user actions may be repeatable so that a user is reminded every time he/she enters or leaves a stored location. The accuracy or precision of locations may be improved with time through updates. Location precision and accuracy can be improved through multiple measurements or through refinement of the measurements. Determining improved location fixes using multiple measurements such as by averaging multiple measurements or fixes is well known in the art. Similarly, refining measurements by narrowing down search windows for satellite signals or eliminating possibilities in ambiguity searches are also well known in the art.
Location dependent actions may also be dependent on a time schedule. For example the user may program a reminder to remind him or her when he or she leaves work every weekday. Actions may also be associated with other conditions such as the active number assignment module (NAM). If a device or user has multiple phone numbers, the user may want to associate certain reminders or actions only when particular phone numbers are active or in use.
There are numerous variations, modifications and different procedural orderings of the present invention will become readily apparent to those skilled in the art. Accordingly, the invention may be embodied in other specific forms without departing from its spirit or essential characteristics.

HEAD COACH Rocky Long
What does Colorado State's offensive look like?
"Colorado State is getting back to its roots. They want to run the ball. If they're able to run the ball, they will use play-action pass. With a young quarterback, you want to train him to get rid of the ball quick. In the Wyoming game, they used a lot of formations with only one wide receiver in the game. They look like the team of three years ago - they're going to run it, run it, run it, and then use play-action pass to get a guy wide open."
How would you evaluate your defensive line?
"I think they've played really well the last two weeks. Early on, we had spurts where they played pretty well and we had spurts where they had a lot of assignment errors that ended up in big plays for the other team. The last two weeks they've been very assignment sound and they're playing extremely hard even though they've suffered some injuries. They're playing really hard and making some plays.
"Our defensive linemen have been dramatically better the last two weeks. They're not making assignment errors and their technique is a lot better. The scheme of our defense hasn't changed, so if a team runs the ball well, there's something else going on."
Why does DonTrell (Moore) have so much success against Colorado State?
"I don't know. If DonTrell can get in the open field, he has a real knack for making people miss, and I would say the offensive line blocked well to get him into the open field. That's why he's had good games against CSU. It's not a scheme thing or an X and O thing. DonTrell will have big games if you get him into the open field. If you don't get him into the open field where he's 1-on-1, he's a good running back, but he's not going to have a huge game. I thought at Air Force we got him into the open field many times, and if he was healthy he would have made them miss and the game would have been different, but he didn't have his shake-and-bake that game."
Has Colorado State changed at all defensively?
"No. They're running the exact same scheme they've been running since Sonny's been there. They run the same scheme that New Mexico State runs. They really struggled on defense early, but they were also playing USC, Minnesota and Colorado. They've really played better on defense the last two weeks. They're playing a lot of young guys who are maturing throughout the season."
How did the late win over San Diego State two weeks ago help CSU?
"I believe that win changed their whole mentality. I've watched every game they've played this season on film, and last week against Wyoming was their best game of the season. They looked so much better last week. CSU didn't play good against San Diego State, but they got a break and won the game. It's amazing what a win does to your outlook, because they really played well against Wyoming, and Wyoming is a much better football team this year. If they would have lost the San Diego State game, I can almost promise you they wouldn't have played that well against Wyoming."
Are you surprised at how well the cornerbacks (Brandon Payne, Gabriel Fulbright) have played this season?
"I'm not surprised. Both of them are good athletes and have experience. I'm surprised when they don't play well. Being an ex-cornerback in the Canadian Football League, I know how critical that position is. We probably put more pressure on our corners than anyone else in our league does. So when they play well, we usually do pretty well with our pass defense. Eighty percent of the time our cornerbacks are in man-to-man coverage. And probably 70 percent of the time they have no help, and that's a daunting task. So when you look at it that way, they've played really well.
"And those guys aren't the only ones. I think we have a couple of other guys that are pretty good too. I think Jerrell Malone is a pretty good player. Mike Powdrell is developing into a pretty good cover guy. And I think Juamar Hall is going to be a pretty good cover guy, and he's a redshirt freshman."
JUNIOR DEFENSIVE END Evroy Thompson
When you go into a game with a young quarterback, do you lick your chops as a defensive guy, thinking you'll have the chance to go after him?
"Not really, they're going to make big plays, and we don't want to be over-confident. We just have to go out there and play."
Was last weeks defensive effort, the best you guys have shown as a team this season?
"I think so, because it seemed like we had a lot of 3-and-outs and we were causing a lot of turnovers also. We had a lot of sacks, I think the most in a game this season, so I think we did do a good job on defense."
Does the defense get frustrated when you guys are pounding away and the offense is not putting up any points?
"No, not really. I think one of the best things that the offense does is they really don't have that many turnovers. As a defensive player, that's what hurts the most, when the offense turns the ball over. But they have been doing good all year, and that's all you can ask."
Tyler (Gaus) has been giving you guys good field position with his punts - does that give the defense a different mindset when you guys have them backed up so far?
"Oh yeah. I personally feel like you can take more chances, and you have more room to work, especially with pass rushing. It changes the game completely, when good field positioning happens."
SENIOR LINEBACKER Nick Speegle
Do you feel like this team has momentum after last week's win against San Diego State?
"Yeah we do and I think it will help our team get going. Colorado State will have a lot of momentum too, so it's whoever comes out to play."
Your goal at the beginning of the season was to win the conference and go to a bowl game, however Utah's the one to catch - how do you feel about the outlook for the rest of the season?
"We can't think win two out of three, it's win every game starting with this week. If we want to play in December then that's what we have to do."
Do you feel like that was your best defensive effort of the season going up against San Diego State?
"Yes it was. We played good defense in the first half. All the other games we only played good defense in the second half. It was important to put a complete game together, just to prove to ourselves that we can do it."
It's not very often that a linebacker can knock an offensive lineman on their back, but you did that like two or three times against San Diego State - it looked like you were mad out there.
"I wasn't mad, but you have to play with a little bit of anger. I'm going to have to play like that the next few games."
What do you do to get yourself motivated like that and play with that kind of edge?
"There are certain things before the game and the night before the game. I like to meditate on certain things. Just try to go through each position and focus on them doing what they need to do, then it comes to me and what I've got to do. I kind of step back from the entire picture and look at what is going on. Before each play I just tell myself to do my best and play like a champion."
Have you ever won at Fort Collins?
"No, not in the two times I've played there."
Were you surprised to know that the Lobos have not won there since 1995?
"I read that yesterday. I couldn't believe that, and I heard it might be snowing this weekend, but hopefully it won't be."
JUNIOR TAILBACK DonTrell Moore
Last year the Lobos had a great game against Colorado State, does that give you confidence going into this weekend?
"Well of course that's always an added benefit for us as a team, but it can also be detrimental if you don't approach it the right way. They're going to make adjustments to stop the things that have been successful for us in the past, so we need to adjust accordingly."
Mentally for you, does it give you more confidence knowing that you had a big game last year against CSU?
"It does give me a lot of confidence in a game where it's essential to be at the top of your mental game. I think that it is going to help us in preparation for the game, knowing that we were successful. Part of our success has been our ability to prepare for the game and I think that in the end that was the deciding factor."
What is it going to take for the offense to put up big numbers on the scoreboard?
"I think that it's just a matter of us executing the plays that come out to us on the field. It's just a matter of us believing in ourselves and staying diligent at what we do and the success will come."
Do you feel like you guys have more momentum after the last two wins?
"Yes, I believe that we do and it has been the key to our success. There is a lot of excitement going on our team right now, so I'm just hoping that the excitement turns into a harder work ethic that will give us the best chance to win on Saturday."
SENIOR OFFENSIVE TACKLE Claude Terrell
Has the thought of a bowl game crossed your mind, or is it too early to think about it?
"I'm just thinking about one game at a time and to keep winning ball games. If we keep doing our jobs, then the rest of the season will take care of itself."
Do you think that Colorado State is one of the more physical games that the Lobos play?
"It seems like every time that we play Colorado State something is one the line. This time we are playing for second, so it's extremely important that we come out ready to go against a very physical football team."
In your opinion do you think that CSU and the Lobos are similar in any ways?
"I believe that they've won the last two games as well, so they're going to come out fired up with a lot of momentum on their side. I think that whoever comes out and executes the best is probably going to get the win."
What do you know about Colorado State's defense?
"I'm expecting a very physical game from their guys up front. However, I'm confident in the game plan coach Long has ready for us in order to defeat them."

The Challenge
The competition will challenge students to address the design, integration, and construction issues that must be considered for an urban commercial farm housed in a five story building with a basement area consisting of approximately 50,000 total square feet.
The project is more than a vertical urban farm. The Growing Power organization has become a national leader in providing neighborhood-based sustainable agricultural education. The building fills the need for space to support production, classes, meetings, meal preparation, offices, and on-site warehousing while serving as a model of ecological sustainability.
Growing Power has a vision to inspire communities to build sustainable food systems that are equitable and ecologically sound, creating a just world, one food-secure community at a time.
The building will include greenhouse spaces for a variety of plants, vegetables and herbs and hydroponic tanks for raising fish. The building will also be used as a training center with educational classrooms, a demonstration kitchen, food processing, and storage freezers. The building will include a retail space and a community kitchen. The concept includes a gathering area able to accommodate over 400 individuals on the second floor.
General information concerning this project can be found on the following websites at:
"The decline in arable land, ongoing global climate change, water shortages and continued population growth could change our view of traditional farming from soil-based operations to highly efficient greenhouses or urban farms."
The submittals should address the following challenges:
1. Construction, design issues and life cycle cost concepts related to a high performance building that addresses the desire of the owner to have a portion of the building that would be able to be sustainable and strives to meet sustainable energy, emissions, water and waste goals. The teams are encouraged to address possible ideas to make the project as sustainable as possible in all disciplines including incorporation of renewable energy concepts, long term durability and future use of the facility.
In the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007, section 401, a high performance building is defined as follows:
The term 'high-performance building' means a building that integrates and optimizes on a life cycle basis all major high performance attributes, including energy conservation, environment, safety, security, durability, accessibility, cost-benefit, productivity, sustainability, functionality, and operational considerations.
2. Consider the architectural and engineering solutions that would be required to modify the prototype building to be built in an alternate location. The first alternate location that the owner is considering is an urban site in Miami.
3. Teams shall also provide more in depth details demonstrating the integration of the systems required for operation of the vertical farm and greenhouses.
