Germany has recognized 14 U.S. soldiers serving in
Afghanistan for risking their lives to help German soldiers in a
firefight, awarding them the country's Gold Cross medal.
Gen. Stanley McChrystal, the top U.S. and NATO commander in
Afghanistan, accepted the medals Wednesday after a meeting with
German Defense Minister Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg.
The U.S. soldiers braved fire from Taliban fighters to help
bring wounded Germans to safety in northern Afghanistan on Good
Guttenberg said more U.S. troops would be serving in that
region, bringing with them combat and medical helicopters.
Some 4,000 German soldiers control northern Afghanistan, which
has recently become more volatile. Forty-three German soldiers have
died in Afghanistan since 2001.

Matt Birk to hold book-signing in Hunt Valley
Newsome juggles present and future questions at Combine
Matt Birk is coming back to town. No, not to play center, which might be viewed as unfortunate, given the struggles Gino Gradkowski had in his first year at center.
Birk, the former Ravens center and 15-year NFL veteran, has left behind his playing days -- and his playing weight -- and is now a published author. He will be at Greetings & Readings in Hunt Valley on Thursday night to sign his book: "All-Pro Wisdom: The 7 Choices That Lead to Greatness."
"Greatness is not winning the Super Bowl or being on TV," Birk told a Minnesota TV station. "Those things are achievements. Greatness is being who you're supposed to be, being the best version of yourself."
[RELATED: Plenty of WRs in the draft for Ravens]
In addition to writing the book, Birk works as an appeals officer with the NFL, listening to appeals from players who have been fined or suspended. Retirement also lets the father of six spend more time with his family.
Books, and reading, have always been major forces in Birk's life. The Harvard graduate was named the 2011 NFL Man of the Year for his community service, and one of his major initiatives involved a reading program for children. He announced his retirement last year at Battle Grove Elementary School in Dundalk, where he donated a "Reading Oasis" reading lab to the school.
Since retiring from football last year, Birk has moved back to Minnesota, and his signing on Thursday is expected to be his only local book signing. But he told the Baltimore Sun that, "I have a ton of fond memories in Baltimore that have nothing to do with winning the Super Bowl, but it was pretty cool that we did. My last memory of Baltimore is winning the Super Bowl and what that meant to the city."

Sevier County escapes with win over Jefferson County
Jefferson County would not go away.
Seven minutes after holding a 21-point lead, Sevier County finally secured a 42-35 victory over the Patriots on a chilly Friday night in Dandridge.
"It's Jeff County. It's always a fight," said Smoky Bears running back Joe Hayes. "They could lose all their games and win this one and we'd never live it down. I think it's more of a bragging-rights rivalry."
The hosts played that way on Friday, never letting Sevier County get comfortable. The Bears (8-1, 6-0 2-AAA) jumped out at the start of each half but never could quite close the door, finally holding on when quarterback Luke Manning earned a first down with 30 seconds to play.
"These guys never quit," said Sevier County sophomore Dorian Banks. "They come out and play their hardest all four quarters, every play."
Hayes and Banks were pivotal in the second half for the Bears, combining for 162 yards and three touchdowns. Hayes ran 62 yards around the left side of the line for a touchdown on the very first play of the second half. That started a 21-point quarter that gave Sevier County separation after the game was tied 14-14 at the break.
"In the first half we got real frustrated because things weren't going our way," Manning said. "Calls weren't going our way. We came out composed (in the second half). We just connected on all cylinders."
Manning tossed a 30-yard strike to Devante Matthews between two Hayes TDs in the third. Banks scored from six yards away in the fourth, putting the Bears up 42-21. Sevier County went over 300 yards rushing with Hayes (112) and Banks (101) cracking 100.
But all those positives were offset by costly miscues. The Bears turned the ball over twice in the end zone in the first half, spoiling the chance for a lead. When Sevier County could've wound the clock down in the fourth quarter, a fumble gave the ball to the Patriots (4-5, 2-4), allowing them to score twice in the final minutes with the help of an onside kick.
That made the finish a bit tense for Bears coach Steve Brewer.
"I've seen smoother nights," Brewer said. "I've seen better nights. But, shoot, it's an IMAC win. It's a win on the road. It's a win against a team that fights us tooth-and-nail every time we play them."
A Devante Matthews punt return touchdown and an Austin Rice receiving score from Manning made the game look like a rout was in store in the first quarter.
But Jefferson County answered.
Dearies Jones tied the game with two rushing touchdowns, including one on a 95-yard, one-play drive. Jones finished with 128 yards but 124 of those were before he left the game in the second half with an injury. Quarterback Malik Styles picked up the slack, finishing with 183 yards on the ground, including a 36-yard touchdown run that pulled the Patriots within a score in the fourth quarter.
But Sevier County got the ball back and held on, barely.
"At times we played extremely well and at times it looked ugly," Brewer said. "The four turnovers and giving up big plays were something, we can't live that way."

Second City to invade Valentine TheatreWritten by Vicki L. Kroll | | firstname.lastname@example.com
Rachel Miller was a music performance student in college who — wait for it — majored in the oboe. Really. And she minored in woodwinds.
Her life changed when she moved to the Windy City and a friend took her to see the Second City.
"By the end of that show, he looked at me and said, 'You should be up there,' " Miller said. "He made me pinky swear that I would take a class."
She signed up for a beginner's class at the Second City Training Center. Then she was hooked. She took classes at the center and studied at the Annoyance Theatre and iO (formerly the Improv Olympics).
"I think I was silly but serious as a child and definitely am sillier the older I get," she said during a call from her Chicago home.
"My dad and I were always night owls, and he would let me stay up with him and watch 'Saturday Night Live' and would give me records. He's a minister, so has a great sense of humor, but really is a big advocate for storytelling, so he would give my brother and I albums like Bill Cosby, The Smothers Brothers," Miller recalled. "I was always listening to this stuff and absorbing it."
She's been with Second City since 2006.
"That Second City name, because it has such a history, people trust that name, they trust that they're coming to see something, and then we get to provide that funny for people," she said.
Miller and four actors with a Second City touring company will bring "Fair and Unbalanced" to the Valentine Theatre for an 8 p.m. show March 4. Tickets are $35, $27 and $20.
"The Second City has been around since 1959," she said. "There'll be quite a bit of archive material in the show. We also do quite a bit of improvisation, and there'll be some things we've written ourselves."
The club has been a star machine: John Belushi, Gilda Radner, Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, John Candy, Bonnie Hunt, Shelley Long, Dan Castellaneta, Steve Carrell, Amy Sedaris.
"Mike [Kosinski] and I do a scene that was written by Tina Fey and Scott Adsit, who are both a part of '30 Rock,' " Miller said of "Fair and Unbalanced." "We have a scene by one of the writers for 'How I Met Your Mother,' a fellow named Joe Kelly, and, actually, that scene was written with Jason Sudeikis."
Miller did know Second City matriarch Joyce Sloane, who nurtured the careers of many during her 49 years with the club. Sloane, 80, died Feb. 3.
"I learned from her that everything can be family and that what we do is work in an ensemble, which is kind of an extended family. Sometimes that means they're your best friends, and sometimes that means you don't get along, but they're always family, and you support them however you can."

This special notice is from NASA Headquarters. Point of Contact: Dwayne Brown, Code PM, 358-1600
Today's announcement was highlighted with a ceremony at the Maryland Science Center in Baltimore and fulfills the Administrator's commitment earlier this year to send an educator into space in a renewed mission to inspire a new generation of explorers. Morgan's flight represents the first of what is expected to be many flights as part of a new Educator Astronaut program, which will be unveiled in early 2003.
"NASA has a responsibility to cultivate a new generation of scientists and engineers," said Administrator O'Keefe. "Education has always been a part of NASA's mission, but we have renewed our commitment to get students excited about science and mathematics. The Educator Astronaut program will use our unique position in space to help advance our nation's education goals," he explained.
Morgan's assigned mission, STS-118, has as its primary objectives to install additional truss segments that will increase power and communications to the International Space Station, and to deliver additional supplies for the Station's crew. Morgan will participate in a number of educational events from space and be actively involved in the flight as a fully trained NASA astronaut.
Commander Scott J. Kelly (Cmdr., USN) will lead the six-member STS-118 crew. Charles O. Hobaugh (Lt. Col., USMC) serves as the Space Shuttle's pilot. Veteran NASA astronaut Dr. Scott E. Parazynski will be making his fifth space flight. The Canadian Space Agency's Dr. David R. Williams will return to space for a second time, and Lisa M. Nowak (Cmdr., USN) will -- like Morgan -- make her first flight into space.
A native of McCall, Idaho, Morgan was selected in 1985 as the backup candidate for the Teacher in Space program. Following the Challenger accident, the program was suspended and Morgan worked with NASA's Education Office, meeting with teachers and students across the country to share her space training experiences and their relevance to the classroom and America's future.
In 1986 Morgan returned to teaching at McCall-Donnelly Elementary School in Idaho, but continued to travel the country in support of NASA's education efforts. In January 1998, she was selected by NASA to complete her astronaut training. For more than a year, Morgan has served as a spacecraft communicator, or CAPCOM, in Mission Control at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston, providing the voice link between the flight control team and crews orbiting in space.
"Barbara's commitment and dedication to education is an inspiration to teachers across the country," concluded Administrator O'Keefe. "She embodies the spirit and desire of this agency to get students excited about space again, and I'm pleased that she'll be able to fulfill that mission from orbit aboard the Space Shuttle and the International Space Station," he said.
Additional information about Barbara Morgan and the International Space Station is available on the Internet at: http://www.jsc.nasa.gov/Bios/htmlbios/morgan.html http://spaceflight.nasa.gov

UK City of Culture: What Leicester's rivals have lined up in battle for title
Posted: November 18, 2013|
A festival of football including some of Europe's top clubs, an illumination spanning one of Scotland's landmark bridges and a public art event featuring sculptures of cows.
These are some of things included in the UK City of Culture bids put together by Leicester's rivals for the title: Hull, Dundee and bookies' favourite Swansea Bay.
Each city has now put its case to judges in the Government contest outlining a proposed programme of events for 2017.
Leicester's £12 million bid includes spectacular light shows, mass participation theatre, concerts and exhibitions.
City mayor Sir Peter Soulsby, who led the city's delegation to current UK City of Culture Londonderry last week to pitch to the contest judges, said he was not worried the city's competitors were spending more.
He said: "We have a great bid which is worthy of winning."
Here are some of the events planned by the other cities, should they pip Leicester to the prize.
Swansea Bay: A £15 million programme would include the Cow Parade, involving bovine sculptures by renowned artists.
Swansea also hopes to host the prestigious Turner Prize and premiere Russell T Davies's Queer As Folk: The Musical before a West End Tour.
Giant's Grave would be a "dramatic reimagining of the impact of the rise and fall of the industrial revolution using voice, animation, video projection, music, dance and puppetry".
The surfing culture of Gower Peninsula would be celebrated by Gower Open.
The bid also has the backing of Port Talbot-born actor Michael Sheen, who starred in Frost/Nixon.
Mr Sheen said: "Our outstanding scenery, our proud industrial past, our cultural assets, our creative, clever, resourceful people, our premier sporting achievements – all of these things provide a unique culture which I am extremely proud to be a part of."
Dundee: Scotland's hope in the competition appears to be the big spender, with a £25 million package, although that will be spent over five years.
One of the key parts of the bid is a festival of football featuring AC Milan and AS Roma.
Both Italian giants were involved in European semi-final clashes with Dundee and Dundee United back in the day.
One of the city's landmarks, the Tay Bridge, spanning the Tay estuary, will be illuminated with a light installation.
Plans are also afoot to create Scotland's biggest arts space at DC Thomson's former print works in the city's West Ward.
Hull: The Humberside city has prepared a £15 million cultural package and says the title would attract new investment and "build on the city's great tradition of philanthropy".
Its programme would include 15 national and international commissions, 12 artists' residencies, 25 festivals, eight major community participation projects and a programme of conferences and major broadcasting events, as well as activity across 365 days with an estimated 1,500 special events.
Hull city councillor Steven Bayes said: "Since being shortlisted, there's a new-found confidence and pride in the city."

This past weeks sketchbook dump. The doves and portrait are pencil, everything else was drawn in ballpoint pen.
Been drawing owls and bats this month. I'm staying in line with the Halloween theme.
Inspired by Disney's Haunted Mansion here are some busts I've been sketching. These are just quick sketches based on the Mansion busts I remember. The bottom middle is from the Haunted Mansion busts I've seen on the web.
I was going through some files and came across this little piece I did as a fan of Monument Valley. The game is visually stunning and I made this after playing it the first time.
Todd and Copper came up this week for Sketch Dailies. Just some fan art for The Fox and The Hound. Great pals.

Man charged in 2011 shooting
With mugshot in NEP
Man charged in 2011 shooting
HUNTINGTON -- One man was arrested in connection with a 2011 shooting that injured two Ashland men.
Cortland N. Wilmont, 33, was charged with malicious wounding Wednesday evening.
In the criminal complaint filed in Cabell County Magistrate Court, a detective stated Wilmont shot then-32-year-old Joshua Ellis of Ashland with a handgun at 4 a.m. on Oct. 7, 2011, at a residence in the 1200 block of 15th Street. Ellis received a single gunshot wound to his hip, and received lacerations to his head.
The incident occurred during a dispute over an outstanding debt, according to the complaint.
During the incident, Jason Wells, who also was 32 at the time of the incident, was shot, according to police reports.
Neither Wells nor Ellis suffered life-threatening injuries in the incident.
Wells was not named as a victim in the criminal complaint filed against Wilmont on Wednesday.
Wilmont was incarcerated at the Western Regional Jail on a $100,000 cash only bond.

Tuesday, October 18, 2011
The Georgetown County Sheriffs Office is conducting an internal investigation into allegations made by a Sampit man who claims he was assaulted during his arrest Sept. 18.
John Grover Frasier, 32, of 413 Columbus Road, was arrested after a high speed chase which zig-zagged through the McDonald and Greentown communities.
A deputy tried to pull Frasier over after he was clocked driving 80 mph, according to Sheriffs Office spokeswoman Carrie Cuthbertson.
The chase ended when Frasier reportedly turned onto a dead end road.
After Frasier exited the vehicle he refused to comply with deputies orders. As a result deputies struggled with (Frasier) briefly before he was taken into custody, Cuthbertson said.
However, Frasier in a complaint filed with the Sheriffs Office Oct. 5 says it was more than just a brief struggle.
Frasier says the chase ended when he pulled into a driveway on Midway Street and he tossed the keys out of the window.
He said he was attempting to comply with the orders of one deputy to lay on the ground when another officer came running up and tackled me to the ground.
Frasier alleges while he was on the ground, the deputies started punching and kicking me in he head, back and privates. He also says after he was in handcuffs one of the deputies told the other to use the Taser on him.
He placed the Taser in the middle of my back and held the trigger for a long time, Frasier alleges.
He said after being tasered, one of deputies grabbed Frasiers baseball cap and started beating him with it.
They then started giving each other high fives and were chanting they kicked my (butt), Frasier wrote. Regardless of what I did, I still have rights.
Cuthbertson was contacted Friday about Frasiers complaint.
The matter is under active investigation by internal affairs. In accordance with our policy, it will be completed in 60 days, she responded.

Concert Review: Tech N9ne Independent Powerhouse Tour
I can admit it. I've never been much of a Tech N9ne fan.
I tend to distance myself from artists with particularly young and raucous fans. It wasn't until Tech was featured a Lil' Wayne "Interlude," off of Tha Carter IV, that i realized what all the fuss was all about. Tech N9ne is a beast. His ferocious "double time" rapping (rapping twice as fast as the beat without the lose of lyrical cadence) has made him a force to be reckon with since the 90's. Tech N9ne brought his high energy emceeing to The Rave Sunday with several of his Strange Music labelmates on the Independent Powerhouse Tour and I finally got to see him in action. Unfortunately I got there late (per usual) and missed the openers but as one fan told me "That was the tightest opening ever!" »Read Full Blog Post

Seventh grader Uzziel Rodas isn't surprised that so many of his classmates at Frazer K-8 School in Syracuse are struggling.
"It's not the teachers or the principals. It's just the kids. Most of the kids just go there to play around and talk to their friends and slack off," Rodas said.
Uzziel's school is one of seven in Syracuse splitting $31.5 million in federal School Improvement Grants (SIG). The government identified the schools as "chronically underperforming" with "at-risk student populations". The Syracuse School District refers to the local grant recipients as "innovation zones".

Nice to see him admit to getting frustrated, as he should get. Indifference is never nice to see.
And, once again, thanking the team and commending them for a job well done.
I think he could still fight for the podium, definitely top five. As long as he keeps 2 to 3 bikes between himself and Max! (Ahead of Max that is) If he can come out of this weekend possibly LEADING it would put him in a very strong position as Miller, along with PI, statistically two of his MUCH less preferred tracks would be behind him, and one could only bet on him going well at Aragon, Misano and Nurburgring (possibly Brno too...)

The 1983 bombing of the U.S. Embassy in Beirut, Lebanon is back in the news today due to revelations made in a new book that alleges that one of the Iranian architects of that atrocity is currently living in the United States under the protection of the C.I.A. If true, the tale seems taken straight out of the Homeland television series in which an Iranian operative who was "flipped" by the CIA is one of the heroes of the show. The possibility that the person that is responsible for the deaths of 63 people, including 17 Americans (eight of them CIA officers) is enjoying the good life on the tab of the taxpayers will, no doubt, infuriate the families of the slain and others who will not understand that such defections are merely part of the great game of spying in which the U.S. must often throw morality and ethics out the window in order to combat the Islamist war on the real homeland.
But the main problem with the tradeoff here examined in a New York Times feature published today is not the attempt to balance the needs of U.S. intelligence to find out everything it can about current Iranian activity, including both terrorism and its nuclear-weapons program, against the demands of justice. While defining the moral calculus by which a murderer such as Ali Reza Asgari, the Iranian who committed that act of terrorism, is welcomed to the U.S. in order to thwart its nuclear ambitions is difficult, it is at least a problem in which the government is seeking the lesser of two evils. But the real dilemma here is not the unfortunate necessity to choose between justice and safety. It lies in the fact that while Asgari remains in the U.S. without having to answer for his crime, the same administration that protects him is pursuing a policy that is neither working to make the Iranian state pay for its continued sponsorship of terrorism or stopping its nuclear project.
The revelations come in a new book by journalist Kai Bird about Robert Ames, the CIA Lebanon Station chief who was killed in the bombing. Kai, a lifelong critic of Israel whose last book was a memoir of his experiences as the child of a U.S. diplomat unsympathetic to the Jewish state's early struggles for survival, reveals in his new book that Ames developed a strong friendship with the intelligence chief of the PLO during a period when the U.S. rightly branded the Palestinian organization as a terrorist group. But in the course of his research about Ames's activities in the Middle East, Kai uncovered the fact that in 2007 the Bush administration granted asylum to Asgari in exchange for information about Iran's uranium enrichment facility at Natanz. As the Times notes, that information has since been superseded by subsequent revelations about another nuclear plant that is in a hardened mountainside bunker. But if Asgari, who may no longer still be in the United States, did tell his CIA interrogators everything he knew about Iran's state-sponsored terrorism, the Americans got a treasure trove of vital information about one of the nation's most dangerous foes in exchange for giving this killer a pass for his crimes.
But though the Bush administration's approach to stopping Iran was inconsistent and largely resulted in kicking the can down the road for the next administration to handle, they at least never granted Tehran recognition of its "right" to enrich uranium for nuclear fuel as the Obama administration did with its weak interim nuclear deal signed last November. While the latest round of talks with the Iranians did not result in an agreement, there appears to be no doubt that the U.S. is seeking a deal in which Iran's nuclear infrastructure and its stockpile of uranium (which can be easily reactivated to a dangerous state) will stay in place. The Iranians reportedly laughed at Western attempts to include its ballistic missile production in the negotiations and are also not likely to be asked to stop supporting terror in the agreement.
The point here is not so much whether the U.S. was right to give Asgari a "get-out-of-jail free card because of the Iran nuclear issue," as a lawyer for the families of the embassy bombing victims asserts. It is, rather, that after giving him such a card, the Obama administration has pursued policies that will give the regime he left the same impunity. While Asgari's escape from justice is troubling, the real scandal is the pass Obama may be about to give his former bosses.

Friday, May 30, 2014
A 37-year-old woman was charged with disturbing schools May 23 after an incident involving her daughter.
The woman was called to the school because of a discipline matter with her daughter.
When she arrived at the school, her daughter was escorted to the office and the woman told her lets go.
The teen did not want to leave because she wanted to talk about the matter but her mother kept saying lets go.
When they got outside the school, they got in their car but the teen tried to get out. Her mother reportedly grabbed her by the shirt. As the teen tried to break free, her shirt ripped off and she ran back to the school without a shirt.
The schools resource officer told the secretary to buzz the teen in, which she did but her mother was locked outside.
Because she had no shirt, the girl was quickly escorted to the principals office as her mother beat on the door demanding to be let in. After realizing she was not going to be let inside, the woman allegedly shouted yall can keep her then went back to her car and sped away.
The woman was found at her house and was placed under arrest.
Will I go to jail for this?
A 26-year-old woman was arrested for damaging cars at Georgetown Auto Sales on Highmarket Street May 22.
When police arrived, the woman with whom they are very familiar was standing with employees next to a gold Lincoln town car. The back glass was busted out.
A worker said he saw the woman break the back window and break a windshield wiper from the car.
The woman asked the officer if she had to go back to jail for hitting the car.
The answer was yes.
Dont bite the bouncer
Deputies were sent to the Hot Fish Club in the 4900 block of Highway 17 Business in Murrells Inlet because a 23-year-old woman from Effingham was causing problems.
The deputy saw the woman shouting at a group of people getting into a taxi as she was being escorted off the property by security.
The woman, who was apparently intoxicated because she could not keep her balance and smelled of alcohol, had been asked by staff to leave several times. She reportedly bit a bouncer as he was dealing with her.
No one wanted to press charges, they just wanted her gone.
Nevertheless, she was charged with disorderly conduct and was taken to jail.
Illegal tattooing?
Central Dispatch received an anonymous suspicious call about illegal tattooing taking place in the 3500 block of Highway 17 Business in Murrells Inlet May 17.
A deputy spoke with a co-owner of the business who reportedly did not want to cooperate when asked if he had a business license.
A secretary said they did have a license but was unable to produce the documentation.
They then said they had applied for the license and had been given permission by the county to conduct business.
Although they could not prove they had a business license, they were able to produce a Santee Cooper statement and a fire inspection form.
The deputy noted he did not see any tattooing equipment while on the scene.
Warns he can flip out
A 60-year-old man from the 600 block of Blackberry Ave. in Murrells Inlet was charged with domestic violence because of a May 17 incident.
The man was reportedly knocking on his front door to be let inside but his wife was unable to get up to open the door because of a disability.
The man got mad because he thought his wife had taken too much medicine.
The deputy noticed the man smelled of alcohol and was slurring his words.
The man told the officer he is known to be crazy. He said he could flip out on the deputy at any moment.
His wife said he hit her twice with his leather jacket and threatened to kill her, the report states.
Information is subject to change as the investigation proceeds. Individuals arrested and/or charged have not been convicted.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 'In both retail and wholesale merchandising there is an ever increasing financial loss being incurred due to unauthorized removal of articles or goods by stealing, shoplifting and the like. This monetary loss has reached such proportions that not only individual merchandisers are increasingly alarmed but also trade organizations and law enforcement officials are actively investigating the possibility of means or procedures to reduce and substantially eliminate the volume of loss.
Efforts to decrease inventory shortages or losses resulting from theft have included, as examples, installing closed-circuit television, hiring additional security forces, closing in separate departments with barricades and turnstile entrances, technologies from optics to sound utilizing magnetics, thermionics, electricity, etc. All such schemes and attempted solutions are extremely expensive and in many instances, such as surveillance personnel increases, have been ineffective.
There accordingly exists a great need for a detection method wherein potential larceny is deterred and at the 7 same time legitimate sales or removal of goods can continue unaltered by the detection scheme utilized. The
present invention teaches a method which is not only effective but of simplicity and is inexpensive.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides method and system for detecting and/or preventing unauthorized removal of articles or goods from stores or the like which overcomes drawbacks existent in presently used systems and which is highly effective, simple in use and inexpensive.
In accomplishing this result, the present invention utilizes an olfactronic approach. The invention includes the application of odoriferous agents to the articles or goods and which are non-toxic and humanly undetectable aerosols. Electronic detection means are placed at store exits, for example, which are capable of detecting the odor on articles passing through the detection zone if removal from the premises is unauthorized such as articles which have not been paid for in the usual nature or course of business. Olfactronic as used herein is a coined tenn combining olfactory, which means to smell, and electronic means of detecting smell. The method and system also includes means for indicating approval of removal of the article or goods from the premises such as by payment in a usual manner. This can include removal of the primary detection agent, application of a second or masking agent or application of a second agent of different characteristics from the first applied with the system requiring the composite agent application for removal approval.
The masking or nullifying is normally accomplished at a checkout or payment counter operated in the normal manner of conducting business.
Additional objects and advantages of the present invention will be more readily apparent from the following detailed description of embodiments thereof when taken together with the accompanying drawings in which:
FIG. 1 is a schematic view representing a method and system in accordance with the invention and depicting an authorized article removal;
FIG. 1A is a schematic view ofa modified form of detection agent nullification;
FIG. 2 is a schematic representation of the method and system of the invention operating under conditions of unauthorized article removal; and
FIGS. 3, 4 and 5 represent specifically different modes of the invention.
The features and operation of the present invention are shown in the drawings and described hereinafter with reference to a widely used type of merchandising of goods but obviously is not to be limited thereto since the principles are of much more widespread application.
In many business establishments merchandise which is, for example, prepackaged in containers 10, or the like, are stacked by store personnel on merchandise 'counters 12 for selection by purchasers who in the normal course of business take the packages or articles or merchandise to a checkout counter 14 where the goods are paid for. This operation of the customer is indicated by arrow 16. Subsequent to payment, the customer, as indicated by arrow 18, removes the article from the store or merchandising outlet through store exit 20. In numerous instances, however, the customer, in a broad sense, intentionally by-passes the checkout counter and payment for the merchandise in various ways of conduct, and which broadly can be considered as shoplifting or illegal purloining of goods without any intention of payment. Such actions result in very substantial losses to the selling establishment. It is this type of operation that the present invention is designed to eliminate.
The method and system of the invention, in one embodiment, includes the steps of applying a non-toxic, humanly undetectable aerosol which, being highly aromatic in nature, is detectable by an appropriate electronic sensing device. An applied application of this aerosol is indicated by the spot 22 in FIG. 1 and is applied from an aerosol container 24 by appropriate personnel. The customer, in normal accepted practice then takes the so marked article to the checkout counter 14 where payment is made. At this point checkoutpersonnel can, according to one embodiment of the invention, apply a second aerosol marking agent as indicated by spot 26 to the article from aerosol can 28. This second applied agent, in the embodiment of FIG. I can consist of different characteristics from that of the first applied or, as shown in FIG. 1A can consist of a masking agent applied appropriately to and over the first spot 22 as indicated in broken lines at 30. Subsequent to payment for the goods and appropriate marking by the checkout personnel, as shown in FIG. 1, the customer removes the articles from the store through exit 20.
Appropriately situated at or in proximity to the store exit are detection means for unauthorized article removal detection. When utilizing an olfactronic technique in accordance with the invention, a directed air flow in the nature of a curtain or sheet indicated by arrows 32 is established through holes of openings 34 in the desired location through which the customer must pass such as the store exit. This flow of air can be very slight when highly aromatic substances are used and in practice would be undetectable by persons passing therethrough. The air flow will pass over or about the purchased article 10, even if carried in a shopping bag for example, and will entrain the olfactronic sensible material in the air stream as indicated by arrows 36 and pass to an appropriate detection device generally indicated at 38. If appropriate procedure indicating authorization of removal has not been taken at the checkout counter, the detector device 38 will activate an alarm 40 of any appropriate type and the bearer of the article can be apprehended in the act of unauthorized removal of the goods. This functioning of the present invention is depicted in FIG. 2 where the article bearer has by-passed the checkout counter and passes directly, for example, from the merchandise counter to the store exit as indicated by arrow 42.
If an article has been appropriately paid for and appropriately marked at the checkout counter, the alarm in the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 will not be activated since in the shown embodiment the use of two agents of different characteristics, one applied before display, and one applied at the time of purchase, can be sensed by the detector as indicating proper purchase of the article. If, however, the second application at 26 is omitted, as depicted in FIG. 2, the detector will indicate unauthorized removal. Modifications of the principles of the invention can consist in use of one agent remove agent at time of sale so that any agent detected upon leaving the building indicates that the article is stolen. Use of a second agent as a masking agent for the first agent, indicated at 30 in FIG. 1A, applied to the article at the time of sale to indicate purchase can also be sensed by the detector to indicate an authorized and approved sale.
Many specifically different forms of agents and detectors can be used within the principles and teachings of the invention. The detectors, for example, can include a short analysis device such as is presently being used in bomb detectors. The prime device is a gas chromatograph equipped with an electron capture type detector, such as but not limited to a Beckman GC-4 gas chromatograph equipped with a model 134060 electron capture detector. Its working principle is A changes in electron capture conductivity. The form of the electron device contemplated by the present invention is one that does not require reverse flashing of the analysis chamber by an innate gas. A continuous sampling chromatograph could also be used if the A time between sampling ingestion and definition is adequate.
The olfactronic or odoriferous agents can include a whole series of agents available from non-toxic Freon compounds. These agents are preferably encapsulated utilizing a microencapsulation technique and subject to time release" after application to the article to be displayed for purchase (or pilferage). Other compounds based on unique, fairly rare in the market place of use, types of compounds can be used.
The actual detection techniques could utilize, as mentioned hereinbefore, one agent remove agent at time of sale, so any agent detected leaving the building indicates that the article is stolen. The use of an agent as a marking agent, to be applied to the article at time of sale to indicate purchase is contemplated as also is the use of two agents of different characteristics, one
applied before display, and one applied at the time of purchase. If only one agent appears at the detector location this is an indication that the article is stolen.
When utilizing a technique of adding a secondary agent at the point of sale it is contemplated to use sold or thank you labelsat the point of purchase or checkout counter, the label having been marked by a short life agent. A stamp applied to the article or a sales slip attached to the article could likewise be utilized.
Specific examples of some techniques which can be employed within the teachings of the invention are set forth hereinafter.
EXAMPLE 1 A semi-volatile, polymerizable material such as an unsaturated ester, for example methyl or ethyl linoleate or methyl or ethyl stearolate, is used at 22A to mark all merchandies. At the check-out counter, see FIG. 3, a dilute mist of a radical initiating agent, such as di-tertbutyl peroxide, is sprayed at 28A on the merchandise before it passes through an intense, short wavelength ultraviolet light chamber which polymerized the unsaturated marking material. Merchandise so treated may be removed from the premises without incident. Without this treatment the presence of the volatile unsaturated marking material would be detected by a rapid, automatic sampling capillary gas chromatograph 38A equipped with a flame ionization detector such as but not lirnited to a BGC-4 gas chromatograph with a model 102250 Hydrogen Flame Detector. The identity of the marking material being determined by its characteristic retention time. lmproved'sensitivity could be obtained by prior concentration of the unsaturated substance contained in large air sample by slow passage of the air sample through a highly purified high molecular weight saturated hydrocarbon oil, such as but not limited to an apiezon oil. The oil is then flash heated in the inlet of the gas chromatograph.
EXAMPLE 2 One of the several Freons is encapsulated in a semiporous polymer matrix, such as a polyvinyl acetate, and used to mark all merchandise. At the check-out counter a different Freon, similarly encapsulated, is sprayed on all merchandise passing along the conveyor counter. The air door is monitored by a rapid gas sampling device which periodically sends an air sample such as an amount ranging from 10 L 10 ml, through a capillary gas chromatograph equipped with an electron capture detector, such as but not limited to a BGC-4 gas chromatograph equipped with model 134060 electron capture detector. From the characteristic retention times of the two Freons a null reading is given. If only one of the Freons is detected, indicating stolen merchandise, the alarm is activated.
EXAMPLE 3 A high molecular weight unsaturated ester, nitrile such as linoleyl nitrile, or other suitable unsaturated material of moderate volatility would be applied to all merchandise on the shelf. When checking-out all merchandise purchased would pass through an intense short wavelength ultra-violet light box on the check-out conveyor. This treatment would serve to polymerize the unsaturated marking substance thus dramatically diminishing its volatility. Removal of such treated items from the store would not set off the alarm. However, untreated material would be detected by a high capacity, capillary column'gas chromatograph equipped with a flame ionization detector which was connected to an automatic gas sampling device, such as might be assembled from a Beckman 102396 Gas sampling valve and a 102397 switching valve, sampling the air flow at or near the store exit.
EXAMPLE 4 A highly halogenated gaseous material such as one of the Freons is microencapsulated in a polymer matrix, such as polyvinyl acetate, in which state it has an appreciable leak rate sufficient to be easily detected by a gas sensing device (similar to an electron capture type chromatography detector) composed of two metal plates separated by a few mm. and charged with several hundred volts. One of the plates is coated with a B- emitting material (such as but not limited to tritium) sufficient to ionize a small fraction of the gas passing between the plates. The resulting small flow of current between the plates results in a steady null reading. When a highly halogenated material such as one of the Freons passes between the plates, the current drops off (disrupting the null", i.e., sounding the alarm). in the invention proposed, articles to be purchased would pass along a conveyor at the check-out, see FIG. 4, during which passage an ultra-sonic chamber 50, such as one 250-watt chamber with a 20,000 30,000 l-lZ capacity, encased in a high air flow area 52 would burst the polymer encapsulating material, releasing the marking olfactory material. Passage of such material through the exit area would not set off the alarm. Any untreated item would be detected, however, even if concealed in a pocket or bag.
EXAMPLE 5 All merchandise to be legally removed from the store might be placed in a bag 60 that had been perfumed as it was pulled out of the bag storage bin. The odiferous agent might be a species such as a, a, atricholorotoluene which would be only slightly odorous and which would evaporate in about 30 minutes. Thus the previously described electron capture gas chromatograph sampling the air door would-in this application be switched to read null when a, a, atrichlorotoluene was detected but would sound an alarm when this marking substance did not accompany passage through the door.
Neutralizing" by polymerization can be induced by short wavelength black light of but not limited to 2,537A for a period of up to 30 seconds.
in recapitulation, the invention utilizes detectionof specific vapors or gases to prevent pilferage of material, products, or commercial or potentially commercial goods. The technique is selective in indicating authorized or unauthorized removal of goods or materials from a merchandising establishment and defies detection by individuals. The technique utilized is unique and eliminates disadvantages of previously developed systems for prevention of pilferage. The material utilized preferably has a prolonged capability of release of a gas and/or vapor. The gas or vapor is foreign to the environment in which its utilization is contemplated and is not detectable by the normal human olfactory system either by concentration of the material utilized or by the nature of its vapor or gas. The material or its vapor or gas is not irritating or toxic to humans. It will not damage any material on which it is applied, is invisible to an unaided human eye and exhibits no distinctive tactile qualities. If desired, an identification material, such as a radiolucent dye identifiableunder ultraviolet light, can be added to the odoriferous material to facilitate identification of the treated area by deactivating personnel.
The sensor device and the gas or vapor collection means can vary and can be specific to record only certain materials and/or a combination thereof. In like manner the specific detection means or device utilized can vary within the skill of knowledge in electronic sensing or detection.
Obviously changes in details can be effected within the spirit and scope of the invention as defined in and limited solely by the appended claims.
1. A method of detecting attempted unauthorized removal of articles from premises of an establishment including the steps of:
