POTSDAM Following an incident two weeks ago that led to the lockout at Potsdam Central Schools, parents can expect to see their access to buildings restricted.
Elementary Principal Larry B. Jenne, who chairs the districts safety committee, said policies for picking up and dropping off students are being addressed. We need to change that so parents do not come into the building, he said.
An exterior door currently grants access to the Lawrence Avenue Elementary School cafeteria. Mr. Jenne suggested blocking off a portion of the cafeteria to create an area for parents to wait while picking up students at the end of the school day. At the beginning of the day, students will have to be dropped off at the door, he said.
In the morning, we allow parents to come into the building with their kids and walk them to class, he said. I feel that is a security issue we need to address.
On Oct. 3, the fiance of an elementary childs mother made a remark that Mr. Jenne perceived to be a threat, leading to a lockout at all buildings and the mans arrest. The principal said other incidents, too, prompted him to consider the need to restrict access.
One of the things that happens is parents come into the classroom and address the teachers, not always in a happy manner, and sometimes using language that is inappropriate and where other students can hear it, he said. Were going to take care of a lot of those situations.
Mr. Jenne said he understands the new policy will require change for some parents, but he feels it is necessary.
We cant think were immune to these situations, he said. I dont want to ever be in a situation where were not doing everything possible to keep our students safe.
Board of Education member Danielle L. Gray told the principal during a meeting Tuesday that she agreed with the changes. Board member Frederick C. Stone Jr. said security upgrades should be further discussed so they can be included in the coming capital project.
Maybe we need to sit down with SEI the districts architectural firm and look at creating a pick-up and drop-off point, he said.
While speaking to the board, Mr. Jenne also detailed how he felt the lockout situation was handled.
We always did lockdown drills instead of lockout drills, he said. Some teachers went into lockdown because its what they have always done.
In lockout mode, activity continued as normal in each of buildings, with the only change being no one was allowed to enter or leave the building. Had the district gone into lockdown mode, each of the classrooms would have been locked.
Given that there were students outside at the time of the lockout, Mr. Jenne said those students were taken to another district building, which was then locked.
Mr. Jenne pointed out that this weeks school shooting in Nevada happened on a playground.
Our goal is to look at these issues each month and see what we can do to get better, he said. I think its pretty timely to be looking at security.
Board member J. Patrick Turbett said he agreed with the changes as well, but advised Mr. Jenne that he could expect to receive some negative feedback. I think your suggestions are good, but theres obviously going to be some people not happy with them.
Mr. Jenne said he will notify parents of the changes before they are implemented.
Two parents said they agreed with the changes, noting school security is what brought them to the meeting.
My concerns have been addressed, said Amy DiMarco, who noted that she has either taught or had children in schools in five states and three countries.
Potsdam has the slackest visitor and entry policies, she said.
Traci Grainger also supported the changes. She said that last year following the Sandy Hook massacre, the district briefly implemented some changes, but later relented after receiving negative feedback.
I would like to suggest that any changes you do make, you stick to them, she said.

Jordon's Gaming Gear
What is the first thing that comes to mind when the word "gamer" is mentioned? For most people, they think of an individual who lacks social skills and lives in their parents' basement. Well, I am here to put this stereotype to rest.
Most people don't know that there is a scene for gamers to come together and compete for large sums of money. For a long time there has been a sport, a sport unrecognized and under appreciated known as gaming. It is known by most individuals as e-sports. Obviously this stands for electronic sports. I'm sure many laugh at this idea of video games being a sport. However, people can make well over 100k a year if they are successful. Yes, they make this money by playing video games. Still laughing at the idea?
Have you ever heard of the acronym MLG? What about MLB, NBA, NCAA? I am sure most people recognize 3 of the 4. MLG stands for Major League Gaming and is one of the many large organizations that sponsors events for e-sports. There are number of games that people compete with on a professional level. Such game titles include StarCraft II, Black Ops II, League of Legends, World of Warcraft, and many more. The title I will be focusing on is StarCraft II.
I myself am currently in the process of becoming a professional player. I'm sure a lot of people laughed there as well, but don't jump to conclusions too fast. Why would anyone want to play video games for a living? Well a number of reasons really, and I will share with you the obvious answer. That is because people who are passionate about it love what they do-just like anyone who becomes a professional runner, basketball player, etc. Why do they get to play for money while the rest of us have to work?
Let's talk a little bit about what StarCraft II is. It is a game known as an RTS, or a real-time-strategy, and it is played on the computer with a keyboard and mouse. Basically there are two players who are competing against each other on a map. The two players try to get an economy going by harvesting things such as minerals and vespene gas. Then with their economy they are able to create an army and try to overrun the other opponent. This game requires a lot of thinking and strategy. Most people who play this game are very smart and very quick with their hands. I love this game so much because it requires you to actually practice and become fast with your mind. It also requires a huge amount of dexterity with your hands. You have to know what to do in your mind, but you also need to be able to perform what you want as fast as you can. Most people look at video gaming and think that people who play them are lazy, and they couldn't be more wrong. There is a link below for anybody interested in watching just how fast you have to be to compete on a professional level.
All kidding aside, nobody should judge another because of what they love doing. Whether that be making music, playing games, running, skydiving, etc. So next time before you think that video games are the source of all evil. Think of all of the wonderful people who play them and love them. We are normal human beings and we don't all live in our parents' basement without any social life.

CPJ welcomes release of NBC's Engel
New York, December 18, 2012--The Committee to Protect Journalists welcomes the release of NBC correspondent Richard Engel and three crew members on Monday following five days of captivity in Syria.
New York, December 18, 2012--The Committee to Protect Journalists welcomes the release of NBC correspondent Richard Engel and three crew members on Monday following five days of captivity in Syria.
Reports | Bahrain, Brazil, Cambodia, Colombia, Ecuador, Egypt, India, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, Mexico, Nigeria, Pakistan, Philippines, Russia, Somalia, Syria, Tanzania, Thailand
Syrian violence contributed to a sharp rise in the number of journalists killed for their work in 2012, as did a series of murders in Somalia. The dead include a record proportion of journalists who worked online. A CPJ special report
Reports | Journalist Assistance, Multimedia, Syria
Syrian leaders tried to impose a media blackout on the country's civil war. They failed. As CPJ's Dahlia El-Zein reports, foreign journalists responded by smuggling themselves into the country, while Syrians picked up cameras and uploaded videos online. They all did so at extreme risk. (4:13)
Read CPJ's special report on journalists killed in Syria and worldwide in 2012. And visit our interactive database.
Blog | Iraq, Security, Somalia, Syria
Murder is the leading cause of work-related deaths among journalists worldwide--and this year was no exception. But the death toll in 2012 continued a recent shift in the nature of journalist fatalities worldwide. More journalists were killed in combat situations in 2012 than in any year since 1992, when CPJ began keeping detailed records.
Reports | Azerbaijan, China, Cuba, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Iran, Kyrgyzstan, Myanmar, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Turkey, Uzbekistan, Vietnam
Worldwide tally reaches highest point since CPJ began surveys in 1990. Governments use charges of terrorism, other anti-state offenses to silence critical voices. Turkey is the world's worst jailer. A CPJ special report
New York, December 4, 2012--An editor for a state-run paper and a reporter for a pro-opposition weekly died in Syria in recent days, lifting the death toll in the world's most dangerous place for the press.
The Syrian Internet, like the country, appears to have been collapsing into a patchwork of unconnected systems for some time. I spent time talking to Syrians tech activists this week in Tunisia before Thursday's shutdown, and their reports from the front painted a picture of two different networks.
New York, November 29, 2012 - The Committee to Protect Journalists is alarmed by the Internet and cell phone shutdown in Syria today which disconnects Syrians from the world as they endure conflict.
New York, November 26, 2012--At least two journalists have been
killed over the past five days while documenting unrest in Syria, according to
news reports.
New York, November 14, 2012--A Ukrainian journalist who was kidnapped in Syria in mid-October appeared in a short video last week pleading for her embassy to meet the demands of her captors, according to news reports. At least two other international journalists are believed to be held captive in Syria and the whereabouts of a third are unknown, according to CPJ research.

Tech publication Wired magazine may not focus too closely on alarm monitoring or residential security, but it does devote a good deal of ink to assessing network security threats, no matter what the context.
Just last month a writer for the magazine, Mat Honan, painted a funny dystopian sketch of the connected home in revolt, commandeered by morally wayward hackers on some perverse quest for Internet notoriety. Identifiable only by screen names evoking bad cyberpunk films from the 90s, these lonesome code junkies are intent on doing everything from dousing homes by activating sprinkler systems to invading your privacy in all the imaginable ways in a home amply stocked with network cameras.
The piece, titled "The Nightmare on Connected Home Street," is of course meant to be hysterical: The narrator is jarred awake at four a.m. by the blaring pulse of dub step music exploding from his connected pillow. The vignette ends, a few hours later, with a bare and awesomely memorable paragraph: "The skylights open up. The toaster switches on. I hear the shower kick in from the other room. It's morning."
It's all just a thought experiment, but the piece is entertaining and well worth a read.
Interestingly enough, about a month later, Wired turned its attention to security again, this time focusing on concerns that, surprisingly, have nothing to do with Internet connected devices. This time, the article dealt with security vulnerabilities related to wireless home alarms, which, according to a pair of researchers cited in the article, could be comprised—the alarm being either suppressed (via "jamming") or made to deliver false signals. The researchers found identical problems with a number of brands.
The issue, according to the report, has to do with radio frequency signals. While the conversation is understandable for a layman, it can seem a bit arcane. In sum, the researchers found that the systems "fail to encrypt or authenticate the signals being sent from sensors to control panels," according to the report, "making it easy for someone to intercept the data, decipher the commands, and play them back to control panels at will." Would-be malefactors, the report says, can do this relatively easily.
The researchers cited in the article—Logan Lamb and Silvio Cesare—plan to present their findings at the Black Hat security conference, a computer security conference held in Las Vegas next week. I'm eager to here more about their findings and to see what kind of impact the research could have.

A vulnerability is a vulnerability, and certainly no security company wants there to be any possibility of a system being hacked. But it should probably be mentioned that while these techniques may come across as elementary to the reading community of Wired Magazine, these methods would probably be, for your run-of-the-mill burglar, well above the norm from a sophistication standpoint.

Viscount, the access control system that is software-based and does not have a panel, will be highly visible at ASIS, according to CEO Dennis Raefield.
Raefield joined Viscount at COO in December of 2013 and became CEO of the company, replacing Steve Pineau, in January of 2014. In February, Viscount "raised $2.4 million in new cash in a private placement." He's used that funding to "staff up" adding tech support and sales people including hiring Michael Pilato, as VP of sales and marketing. Pilato has worked for Schlage/Ingersoll Rand, Assa Abloy, Honeywell Security, and Sensormatic/Software House (now Tyco).
"We went from 26 to 36 employees," Raefield said. "We now have dedicated tech support from 5 a.m. to 5 p.m. and on-call support 24/7," he said.
Viscount has been in business for 12 years, but its Freedom Encryption Bridge access control product is relatively new. It made traction with the federal government, in banking and it is installed at Microsoft's GSOC.
"Our biggest deal is with the Department of Homeland Security, the CIS (Citizens Immigration Services) Group. [Freedom] is installed all over the country in 30 different sites and the plan is to roll out 200 more sites in the next year," Raefield said.
Freedom is doing well for two reasons, Raefield said. "One. It's highly secure from hacking for a very simple reason. The traditional [access control] panel has a database ... that is highly vulnerable to hacking. ... What we did is very simple. We took that database out of the panel," he explained. "We use a little thing called a bridge that converts all information at the door ... sends it to the company's own computer. Our software is on their server and the server makes the decision [about access]." This makes the IT director much more comfortable than a traditional access control system where a security appliance that is out of the IT director's hands is hanging on the company's network, he said.
Because the Freedom access control system is behind a company's firewall, it is as secure as any other application on an end user's network, Raefield pointed out.
Raefield noted that the recent Target data breach which received so much publicity and resulted in the firing of the Target CEO "was not a frontal assault on the IT infrastructure" but rather a "backdoor breach"—the result of a stolen HVAC contractor's password. That kind of backdoor breach cannot happen with this access control system, he said.
The second reason the federal government likes Freedom, according to Raefield, is that "our little bridge is much less expensive that anyone's panel. ... "You take out the expensive control panel and the dedicated computer for security and you now have a significaly lower total cost of ownership," he said.
The security director now can worrry about physical security instead of managing hardware and computers, he added.
Viscount Systems did about $4.1 million in revenue in 2013. About $3 million of that came from Viscount's legacy telephone entry system, a product called Mesh Enterphone, which is used in highrise buildings. It's been a "stable bread and butter" product for Viscount for 12 years. Raefield is also investing in that product, making it "high end with a touch screen." It can also be integrated with the Freedom access control system. The remaining $1 million in 2013 revenue was from Freedom, which Raefield said went from $0 to $1 million in one year. Raefield expects Viscount, which is a publicly traded company based in Vancouver, to do "between $6 and $8 million" in revenue in 2014.
Asked about whether Freedom can be used as a managed access control system, Raefield said yes. "The long term strategy is that [Freedom] will be able to be managed on site, in the cloud, any of the above, because it's all software."
Viscount is currently working with major integrators such as Stanley, Convergint and Johnson Controls. At ASIS, the company plans to make its case from a big booth to the integrator community that "this is the next direction and a smart direction," Raefield said.
Pilato said that Freedom has been rigorously tested by the federal government, it has shown itself to be "secure, scalable architecture" and it's ready for wider deployment in the commercial market, in K-12 schools, in banking and elsewhere. "ASIS will be the official commercial launch of Freedom," Pilato said. "The commercial side of the house is ready for prime time."
I've written recently about Google's $3.2 billion buy of smart thermostat and smoke alarm maker Nest Labs, and then Nest's $555 million plan to buy Dropcam, which makes video cameras that stream video to a user's computer or cellphone. Also, Apple in June introduced HomeKit, its new home automation/home security framework.
Now, Samsung also may be making a home automation push with a $200 million buy of startup SmartThings, according to news reports.
The potential deal was first reported in TechCrunch.
Forbes says that SmartThings is based in Washington, D.C. and "sells $100 hardware hubs and provides a cloud platform to make the hundreds of smart gadgets out on the market talk to each other in one unified app."
Forbes notes that Samsung "already has many connected home appliances on the market." However, Forbes says SmartThings could enhance those.
"What the SmartThings technology could do is better connect its appliances to other third-party devices onto one central platform. This is what Apple looks to be aiming to do with its HomeKit and what Nest may one day achieve after opening up its API program to allow other devices to talk to its growing family of smart gadgets."
SmartThings, founded in 2012, has "tens of thousands" of SmartThings systems currently installed in U.S. households, Forbes said.
Interesting piece of news in my inbox this morning having to do with research that VMS provider Milestone Systems (recently acquired by Canon) is working on.
The VMS provider is working with Technical University of Denmark (DTU), Aalborg University, Securitas and Nabto, on a research project that looks at using video for operational intelligence.
The news release said that Milestone is putting some of the research into practice already. From the release: "Research that is ongoing in a 3-year project to develop technological innovations is already paying off: the latest release of Milestone XProtect 2014 launched a new metadata framework that vastly improves the speed of searching and analysis with the video software. … Milestone's software manages video for security uses, but can also support and optimize activities in production, logistics, marketing, sales, healthcare, intelligent buildings, environmental control, and other analytical applications. Thanks to the XProtect open platform architecture, other companies are integrating software applications with Milestone's video management software to adapt it for particular operational needs in different business sectors."
The Danish National Advanced Technology Foundation provided funding (DKK 15 million) for the project. The goal is "to interpret the recorded video material so the content can be described automatically."
In a prepared statement, Hans Jorgen Skovgaard, Milestone VP of R&D said:"We are still in phase one and expect to present to the market several new solutions for searching in metadata—the framework has already been released in XProtect 2014. During the next phases, we will do research among other things on how the software can learn to distinguish between normal and abnormal activity in video images. This means video surveillance can proactively give an alert before an incident occurs, and further enable use as a business tool in many more operational scenarios. … For example, if there is an accident or an assault at a bus station, the police or security personnel can search for the exact area where the incident happened by linking GPS coordinates with the video recordings from the buses, and within a few seconds they will have the relevant recording of the offender or other people involved." The release says that the metadata technology "can also be used with mobile phones as moving security cameras where GPS coordinates and compass information can be stored with the video. Operators thereby will know precisely where the video was recorded. Used in this way, mobile phones can increase security and safety, and threatening behavior can easily be proven. The technology can also be used as evidence of pollution emissions, for resolving insurance claims, or many other applications yet to be explored."
The BusinessDictionary defines "actionable intelligence" as data "that can be used to boost a company's strategic position against industry peers." But with a new partnership announced this week, Vivint is using data collected from sensors in smart homes to "identify actionable insights to enrich their customers' lives."
Provo, Utah-based home automation/home security company Vivint has partnered with Cloudera, which offers businesses "one place to store, process and analyze all their data," according to a July 15 news release.
Palo Alto, Calif.-based Cloudera provides businesses with "fundamental new ways to derive value from their data." In Vivint's case that means, according to the news release, that "for the first time, Vivint is able to apply a new lens to data generated from intelligent devices and systems embedded with sensors in and around homes." More than 100,000 data points "from smart sensors embedded in devices [are now] visible with Cloudera," the release said.
Brandon Bunker, Vivint's senior director of customer analytics and insights, put it this way in a prepared statement: "Vivint has been at the forefront of the connected home for decades, and now with the emergence of [the] IoT (Internet of Things), we are truly able to innovate by collecting and analyzing vast amounts of data from sensors embedded in our devices. We've taken that one step further with Cloudera and can now look across many data streams simultaneously for behaviors, geo-location, and actionable events in order to better understand and enrich our customers' lives."
Vivint has more than 800,000 customers using various third party, smart-enabled devices, the release said. Each home has from 20 to 30 sensors, it said.
Here, according to the release, is how Cloudera's services will make a difference with data from those sensors:
"Many of those devices come in the form of thermostats, smart appliances, video cameras, window and door sensors, and smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. Without a central internal repository to gather and analyze the data generated from each sensor, Vivint was previously limited in its ability to innovate and to add higher intelligence to its security offerings. For example, knowing when a home is occupied or vacant is important to security -- but when tied into the heating, ventilation and cooling (HVAC) system, you can add a layer of energy cost savings by cooling or heating a home based on occupancy. Similarly, by adding geo-location into the equation, you can begin to adjust temperature changes to a home based on the proximity to an owner's arrival, for instance, when the owner has a connected vehicle."
Such "actionable intelligence" would be a sellling point for Vivint because consumers can save from 20 to 30 percent in energy costs by turning off their HVAC systems when they're away or sleeping, the release said.
Vivint said it chose Cloudera because it has a proven track record and a very broad "big data ecosystem, to ensure support as more and more devices are connected to the Internet each day." The company also ensures the data's security, the release said.
And that traditional definition of "actionable intelligence," about boosting a company's position against industry peers?
Well, that's actually a part of the partnership too, according to Vivint. "This platform has differentiated our business and given us a tremendous competitive advantage," Bunker said in his statement.
The Electronic Security Association has installed Marshall Marinace, owner of Yorktown Heights, N.Y.-based Marshall Alarm Systems, as its president for the next two years.
Marinace's presidency was one of five new officer appointments announced at ESA's annual membership meeting held during ESX 2014 in Nashville.
Marinace has been involved in the security industry for 38 years, and his alarm company was founded in 1976. He also has a longstanding involvement with ESA, serving in several different capacities with the association, including multiple terms as vice president, chairperson of the Membership Committee and liaison to the Standards and Fire Life Safety Committee, among other roles, according to an ESA news release.
"Having been involved with association boards and committees for the past 30 years and counting, my personal goal is to continue the legacy and ongoing development of strong leadership that has made ESA the foremost industry association," Marinance said in a prepared statement. "I am therefore honored and humbled to have been given the opportunity to fill the role as ESA president for the next term."
The following industry practitioners were also elected to ESA roles:
-- Dee Ann Harn, CEO of RFI Enterprises, elected to one-year term as vice president
-- Chris Mosley, president of Complete Security Systems, elected to two-year term as vice president
-- Angela White, executive vice president of Central 1 Security, elected to two-year term as vice president
-- Jon Sargent, industry relations / government affairs for Tyco Integrated Security, elected to two-year term as secretary
Vivint is not a DIY company—it offers professionally installed and monitored home security. But its new online Support site—which the company announced this week—is geared toward those who like to take things into their own hands.
Vivint notes that it already offers customer support 24/7/365. But in addition to that, the Provo, Utah-based home automation/home security company has launched the new Support site. Here's how it describes its new online service:
"If you're a go-getter, a do-it-yourself-er, a knowledge-seeker, or a hate-being-put-on-hold-er, then this is great news for you. On our new Support site, you'll find video tutorials, step-by-step instructions, troubleshooting, FAQs and more for anything from changing the batteries on your electronic door lock to adding a new camera to your system."
I checked out the site. It's easy to read and it provides answers to basic questions that range from "Where can I send my payment?" to "Why do you use a door-to-door approach?" Vivint's answer to the latter is that it's more personal and allows a sales rep to customize systems for each homeowner.
But in case anyone is wondering, Vivint stresses that the site does not replace its traditional customer service. "If you're a I'd-rather-just-talk-on-the-phone-er, we will always be here to answer your call," the company says.
Now is the time for you to submit your nominations for the Security Systems News "20 under 40" Class of 2014. Click here to make your nomination.
It's the eighth year that SSN has solicited nominations of young people, ages 40 or younger, who display leadership characteristics, are tech-savvy and are dedicated to the security industry.
To be eligible, nominees must work for an installing fire or security dealer or integrator or work for a monitoring company. Sorry, employees of manufacturing companies and consultants are not eligible.
End users are not eligible for SSN's "20 under 40" awards, but if you know a talented young end user, please nominate them for the "20 under 40" awards of our sister publication, Security Director News.https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/sdn20under40So, nominate a colleague, a customer or yourself, and do it before the Aug. 1 deadline.
The "20 under 40" awards process will culminate in an awards ceremony for both SSN and SDN "20 under 40" award winners at TechSec Solutions, the industry's premier conference for integrators, end users, consultants and manufacturers to discuss and debate the effects of new and emerging security technologies on their bottom line.This year's conference will take place Feb. 3 and 4 at the Delray Beach Marriott in Delray Beach, Fla. At the end of the first day, we take time out from the discussions and debate and head out to the pool for the SSN/SDN "20 under 40" awards reception.
It has become a tradition at TechSec and the social event that all TechSec attendees look forward to.
In addition to being honored, the "20 under 40" winners participate in the conference, some as speakers and some as active audience members. The heavy participation of the "20 under 40" demographic is one of the things that sets TechSec apart from other conferences.
The younger TechSec participants bring a variety of expertise and perspectives and enrich the discussion and debates at TechSec. Their participation is encouraged and valued by other attendees and presenters, as well as organizers. We're proud that the conference tends to attract "20 under 40s," both past and present. Many people first came to TechSec as "20 under 40" honorees and now come back to TechSec every year.
But we need your help identifying the young leaders that we'll honor this year. Get your nominations in, and if you have any questions about the "20 under 40" awards or TechSec, give me a call or send me an email.

Hello again, Chasers.
SNC played a fantastic show on the Vegas strip on Sunday, November 5. Our next show was in Midwest City, Oklahoma on Tuesday, which meant we had a long drive. Along the way, some of us were lucky enough to spend some time in a great New Mexico town which reminded me of a few things. Allow me to explain:
First off, you should all know that my kids are obsessed with the movie Cars. Thanks to the genius marketing teams at a certain unnamed worldwide media conglomerate, my family owns hundreds of videos, books, toys, and matchbox cars. We have Lightning McQueen, Mater, Sally, Doc Hudson, Luigi, Guido, Lizzie, Red, Sarge, Fillmore, Mac, Chick Hicks, The King, Ramon, Flo, Ferrari, Tex Dinoco, Pitties, Bob Cutlass, and Daryl Cartrip, not to mention the specialized versions like Tires McQueen, Dirty McQueen, Cruisin' McQueen, Radiator Springs McQueen, Dinoco McQueen, Dinoco Chick Hicks, Crashed The King, Cactus McQueen, Dinoco Chick Hicks, Green Ramon, Gold Ramon, Scuba Mater, Mater the Greater, El Materdor, New Mater, the Hudson Hornet, and I'm sure others I can't remember. Needless to say, I have seen the movie easily fifty times.
Why am I bringing this up? Because I think we may have been in Radiator Springs on Monday.
Moriarty, NM, as I tweeted (@breakofdon for those of you who don't follow me), was not a place I expected to spend time during this tour. When I thought of cool places I would have a chance to see for the first time, I was thinking the Grand Canyon, Los Angeles, or San Francisco. And our first few minutes in Moriarty didn't do much to get me excited. The five of us on the buses got there at about 2 in the afternoon (the rest of the guys spent the night in Vegas and met us in OKC). We were leaving just after midnight, so we just got one hotel room so that we could shower before the rest of the drive. Shortly after getting to our room, we found that the facilities were…um…not facilitative. The water wasn't running in the sink, the shower, or the toilet. This posed a somewhat significant problem, as the other useful facet of a hotel room (the bed) was of minimal value. When Ryan called, the very kind woman at the front desk explained that there was a citywide emergency and there was no water. She went on to tell us that they hoped water would be restored "soon."
We set out in hopes of finding something delicious and local to eat. Following our iPhone maps' directions, we headed east. In the first ten minutes we spotted not one, but two separate drifters headed east from Moriarty. For those unfamiliar with central New Mexico geography, they were apparently headed to Amarillo, Texas. I expect they'll be getting there in about three weeks. Needless to say, we were somewhat concerned about the town we were in, to say nothing of our dining options.
Moriarty is about thirty miles east of Albuquerque. Like Radiator Springs from Cars, it is on the Mother Road, Route 66. And, like Radiator Springs, Moriarty is just a few miles off I-40, causing most travelers to drive on by without experiencing this jewel of Torrance County and the Estancia Valley.
After walking a mile in the wrong direction, we got directions from Old Man Lewis (I'm not kidding), turned around, passed the hotel, and rolled into Moriarty proper in about a half of a mile.
We were hoping to find a decent place to eat; what we found was a town remarkable in its history and its character, and yet so unmistakably American that anyone living in a small town anywhere across this country will find echoes of their own hometown in this tiny southwestern village.
Our sojourn took us by many businesses, some still open, some long closed, some indeterminably in between: Trading Post-Mining Co. (closed), Moriarty Flea Market (unclear), Lisa's Truck Stop (open), Connie's Grill (open), Get More Thrift Store (open), Frontier Bar (unclear), Blackie's Bar & Grill (unclear).
We settled on dining at El Comedar de Anayas; probably because of its Yelp ratings, but maybe because it had the brightest sign in town (and a sputnik-like star above it). Our decision proved to be a good one. Not only did El Comedar have fantastic food, we got a history lesson unlikely to be found in many other restaurants.
El Comedar's walls were lined with remnants and remembrances of what seemed a totally different Moriarty from the one we had just seen. The Anaya family has run the restaurant since 1953. For reference, New Mexico has only been a state since 1912. That means that the restaurant has been going strong for the vast majority of the time New Mexico has existed.
We learned a bit of Moriarty's history. Michael Moriarty (no, not Professor Moriarty or Dean Moriarty for those literary-minded folks) homesteaded in the (then) territory in 1887, becoming the first resident of the town. When the New Mexico Central Railway opened a station nearby, the station, and then the town, were named for Mr. Moriarty, the recently appointed Postmaster.
The Great Depression was hard on Moriarty; luckily when Route 66 was rerouted in 1937, tourists caused Moriarty to grow from its previous population of ranchers and farmers to include restaurants, gas stations, and even gift shops. (Recall Flo's V8 Café, Fillmore's Organic Fuel and Lizzie's Curios from Cars). Of course, when I-40 bypassed the city in the 1970's, those tourist numbers dwindled.
The walls told us of the King family of New Mexico, many of whom had been influential politicians and statesmen of New Mexico. Notably, when Bruce King, three times governor of the state, passed away in 2009, the New Mexico legislature wrote a letter to El Comedor paying their respects for the loss of one of El Comedor's "family."
On a more visible note, we were shown how places like the Frontier Bar and Blackie's Bar & Grill looked in the past. They weren't possibly open and definitely sketchy establishments, they were happening hotspots along the Mother Road, great places for families to stop off on their long drive across this big country of ours. The pictures showed the Frontier bar parking lot chock-full of old Chryslers and Oldsmobiles, and Blackie's overrun by then-fashionably dressed couples who had driven from all over New Mexico for a good bite. The contrast between the pictures and what we'd seen just yards away outside was striking, yet I couldn't help but think how it would likely seem eerily familiar to inhabitants of so many places: Riverside, Youngstown, or Detroit, just to name a few.
The loss of tourist traffic coupled with our current economic situation has turned Moriarty into something of a ghost town. Like the Cozy Cone Motel and Luigi's tires, it appears that Moriarty might open up for business that's never going to come. Main Street isn't main street anymore; lights don't shine as brightly as they shone before (James Taylor's words, not mine).
So why am I writing all this?
For those of us lucky enough to get to spend some time and attention away from our own hometowns, it is places like Moriarty, New Mexico, that deserve that time and attention the most. By no means am I suggesting you plan your next family vacation to Moriarty. What I am suggesting is that our country, our states, and our cities and towns contain treasures hidden and stories untold. I'm suggesting that instead of hoping for that vacation to the Caribbean or Mexico, that we take a much shorter trip (if the Mother Road is available, use it!) and recognize what it is that allows us to hope for vacations much more extravagant. The strength and beauty of this land is not always found in its towering and crowded cities. It is often found in the small towns and the people who inhabit them. It is their history and character that give us some idea of how we all got here, and how this great and ongoing American Experiment continues. There is sure to be a Moriarty not too far from your front door, with a past as rich as you can imagine, and with its own El Comedor, Cozy Cone Motel, or Flo's. Go check it out. Get off the Interstate for a while.

|Lawmakers debate gay marriage ban
|Written by Lauren Ohnesorge
|Wednesday, 23 May 2007 06:42
A measure sitting for months in the House rules committee may be up for debate sooner than anticipated. Democrat's attempts to kill the bill on the House floor were thwarted Tuesday.The bill would limit marriage to a man and a woman in the constitution. The limitation already exists in state law, leading many democrats to view the measure as irrelevant. More than 60 people in the 120-member House, however, want the measure to go forward.

Mets and Mike Pelfrey Avoid Arbitration
According to Adam Rubin of ESPN New York, the Mets and Mike Pelfrey have avoided arbitration and agreed to a one year deal.
Rubin says the deal will pay Pelfrey approximately $4 million, after he earned $3.3 million in 2010.
Updated by Matthew Cerrone at 1:50 pm:
In October, I figured Pelfrey would end up getting between $3 and $5 million, based on where the market is and how similar talent was paid in recent, similar situations. His 2010 season was probably worth double that on the open market, if not slightly more, and so he is still a bargain – especially at $4 million.
Updated by Matthew Cerrone at 1:53 pm:
The late buzz from Citi Field suggests that both RA Dickey and Angel Pagan could be headed to arbitration, as opposed to settling like Pelfrey.

That is such a drag that a couple of Christians force you into this. Of course, I am having exactly the same problem on my blog - a couple of Christians are feeling the need to post multiple comments on every post. I'll be interested to see how your moderation goes, as I may be having to do it too.
- December 15, 2006 at 3:12 PM

I too am sorry that you found this necessary, and hope it is only temporary -- and I have absolutely no doubt that there will still be many Christians coomenting here. I hope so, because what lifts this so far above many other blogs by fellow atheists is the quality of the dialogue.
I am sure, for example, that there are Christians who have read people like Sandalstraps, Paul Manata, and others and who have found their arguments (sadly, perhaps) more convincing than the refutations you make and who have left the discussions strengthened in their beliefs.
So if there are Christians who argue against your moderation policy, please ask them if they have read the many threads here, and if they really think their arguments match the ones they have seen from champions of 'their side.'
(I will admit I find it daunting, at times to argue on 'my side,' because I am afraid my arguments will look weak and uninformed compared to those of John, Dagood, Exapologist and the rest. (Still try sometimes, though.)

There's no need to worry. All educated Christian comments will be published, and even a few below par. It's just the stupid stuff that frustrates the rest of us and makes us bother responding that irks me. I want an educated discussion or none at all.
I have to do this every once in a while to weed out this kind of stuff. They go away and then we can continue.

I too am sorry that you have had to go to comment moderation, but I'm also glad that you decided to do it. So many threads were getting highjacked that I found it difficult to participate. Too often I have refrained from commenting on worthy posts because the comments already attached to that post moved so far from a discussion worth having that the well written and thought out post was lost altogether in the sea of incoherance that followed.
As for this thread, it is a milestone. Prup is, to my knowledge, the first person to place me next to Paul Manata, without placing some sort of negative qualifier in between, like:
Sandalstraps, unlike Paul Manata...
I'm not sure how I should feel about that. Does it reflect an affirmation of my enduring connection to a religion that I have long since stopped taking so literally, or a rejection of my attempt to distinguish myself from the herd, so to speak?
In any event, it is good to despite all odds remain somehow connected to the disjointed "body of Christ," so I'll take is as a compliment even if Paul Manata and I have as best as I can tell nothing in common save for the amorphous designation of "Christian."
May better conversations follow your decision to at least temporarily moderate comments!

Dear John,
After visiting your site and reading your comments (and others ) I find that most commentary is a complete denial of faith, its easy to have this type of mind set, also, you state my faith may take a hit, sorry to inform you that's not possible. This reading is fruitless and your responses are typical unbelief. My only curiosity is about those who said they where believers and now there not! I can't come to terms with these thinkers. My experience has been that of miracles and proof the HE is there, and I'm gullible enough to believe that every one must be experiencing this type of proof, or why do the christian thing, that's a simple question to ask your self isn't it? Well its obvious that not every one has my experience, and knowing capacity, and why, I don't know!
Haven't you ever been healed? Haven't you ever prayed, and received a answer? Haven't you ever prayed for someone else and gotten the answer, what is it that you all were following ? I would be on your side if I had no experience to the fact that HE is there!
You being as intelligent as your are should reconsider your stand, its easy to have a bad taste, it's a bad view. If any time in the future you or yours needs a healing or a answer that can only come from the ALMIGHTY, I'll pray and you will get your answer ! That's a fact. pville63

- John W. Loftus said...
Thanks pville63. Why don't you begin by praying that I would know the truth? That would be just fine with me. If after you pray and I don't change my mind, then what will you conclude? If prayer doesn't work then why should I ever ask you to pray when I need healing?
- December 16, 2006 at 1:03 PM
- Anonymous said...
I've already concluded, that prayer does work! And I'm aware of your conclusion.
I guess you have never been, or ever plan to be in a situation that is bigger than yourself, A place where your in need of (anything) and there is just no possible way to get this (anything). What's next when that happens? Intellect has its limits. You don't have to believe, lets call it a experiment. Just say to yourself, I'll ask 63 to pray for something, and I'll watch while he makes a fool of himself, or don't you have a sense humor.
I don't know you but I have a feeling that you are experiencing the good life, just know this it's the goodness of God that leads men to repentance, like I said before bad taste has a bad view.
- December 16, 2006 at 2:51 PM
- John W. Loftus said...
Okay 63, I've already made my request: "begin by praying that I would know the truth." No more about prayer here! Just pray, and I'll keep you informed.

Hi john,
I see your not going to talk to me, that's OK, I'm sure you read save your receipts for your spiritual gifts, that person does not realize how far off base they are, and out of context, but I will not argue the point, but this I would like to say about that, discernment, knowledge, wisdom, these were all given to you from him, you didn't have this great ability to put these thoughts together, and have this analytical mind as you do today, in the beginning, of your love for GOD, you were just a babe, but now that you have this, you, in your great ability, could not hold on to faith, wow how dark is that darkness your swimming in John! The reason I say its easy to have the view of this forum, is that, try right now to have faith and you will begin to understand what the fight of faith is all about, you sir stopped fighting. Are there errors in the bible why yes there are! Is there big problems and errors in the Christian church, yes there are! So now your taking discernment, knowledge, wisdom, and your wielding
A large sword in the wrong direction, see how powerful these gifts are in the wrong hands they can be deadly, only there not in the wrong hands, come on back, turn your self. What about love, do a honest article about the love of God, and the love that we should have for one another . pv63

A form of entertainment similar to cow tipping. It involves walking along a small creek with an unwitting companion, who is then shoved headlong into the drink. There seems to be an entire think tank devoted to the subtle art named The Brookings Institution. Visitors from Urban neighborhoods are often subjected to this chilling dip.
Janice could not wait to make out with James, but before they could get to the boathouse, he had brooked her. It was her first brooking. They say you never forget your first one.

A nothing town on the Southern Oregon coast. A place where the retired rule, the young are bored and you either move away when you are 18, or you live there forever in lameness.

A modern day adaptation of a primitive social ritual in which a female will become intoxicated and adorn herself provocatively with clay beads, facepaint and animal furs and proceed to mate with myriad males, dwarf males and in some cultures Cercopithecidae in an attempt to gain the attention and approval of the rest of the tribe or "Frat" as it is sometimes called in modern day practice. A female who is Brooking is also prone to engaging in other attention seeking behaviors and is likely to suffer from "Irritating Stuck-Up Bitch Syndrome" as defined by Karl Von Cuntenheimer in his 1864 volume "Thou Reeky Rampallian Harpy!: an analysis of the common soror."

Scholarships are the big neutralizers when it comes to funding your college education. There are millions of dollars worth of scholarships out there, and you can find them ranging from $100-$40,000+! The great thing about scholarships is that they are not just given to students for grades. You could receive a scholarship for knowing about fire sprinklers, being too tall, winning a marble tournament, being a member of Star Trek's Starfleet, or having the best duct taped dress at prom.
It does take some work on your end, but we want to help!
If you are planning on applying to UW Bothell, please be aware of the scholarships that we provide. To qualify for UW Bothell's Merit Scholarships, you must apply by the Priority Application Deadline of January 15, 2015.
Scholarships search engines are great for finding a number of different scholarships, which you could qualify for, based on the information that you provide. The top two search engines are:
Find Scholarships in the Washington area that are geared towards Washington residents.
The College Bound Scholarship program encourages low-income, middle school students to choose a path that will lead to educational success after high school. The College Bound Scholarship will combine with other state financial aid you receive to cover the average tuition (at comparable public college rates) some fees, and a small book allowance. Students may sign up in the 7th or 8th grade, and only need to apply once. The deadline for all applicants is June 30 at the end of their 8th grade year.
The O Wines Opportunity for Success Scholarship fund provides scholarships to low income, capable young women so they can achieve their greatest potential through education. Scholarships are available to High School Senior females nationwide with US citizenship that are entering their freshman year of college and are enrolled in a four year program. Applicants must have a minimum GPA and meet established criteria. Each O Wines Opportunity for Success Scholarship is $20,000, given in $5,000 increments annually over 4 years.

So it still feels like summer outside and the kids have just started a new school year. Christmas may seem so far away, but for many it is time to begin the process of making sure every child in our community has presents under the tree.
With the economic down turn it is expected that there will be more families in need of help this year and United Way and their partner agencies are hoping that our community once again steps up to fill in the gaps and make it possible to serve the ever expanding needs.
The schools, Carbon Credit Union, Kiwanis, Price City Fire department and many others are gearing up for the Annual Angel Tree program. The community and service groups are being asked to coordinate their Christmas Helping programs through United Way again this year so all families can be served and everyone knows who has already been helped and who is still in need of assistance.
If you are one of the families that may be struggling as Christmas approaches Oct. 1 through Nov. 12 is the time to pick up an application and get it returned with your supporting documents. Late applications will not be accepted.
Applicants need to make sure they have all the supporting information included with their application when they drop it off or it will be rejected. United Way and the drop off locations will not obtain that information for you. If you have questions you can contact the United Way Office. All applications can be dropped off only at specific locations.
For more information and to see whether you are eligible for the Angel Tree Program, visit the United Way of Southeastern Utah Website at www.uwseu.org.

BUFFALO, N.Y. - With time running out on the 2013 NHL Trade Deadline, the Buffalo Sabres dealt their captain to the Minnesota Wild.
The Sabres have traded forward Jason Pominville to the Wild for goaltender Matt Hackett and forward Johan Larsson. Specifics of the deal may also include draft picks.
Buffalo drafted Pominville in the second round of the 2001 NHL Entry Draft, before earning a roster spot in 2005. The 30-year old wing was an NHL All-Star in 2012 and became the Sabres full-time captain in 2011.
The Sabres receive two prospects from the Wild. Hackett is a 23-year old goalie with 13 career NHL appearances, including one appearance in 2013 (allowing five goals in a loss to Dallas). Hackett was drafted by Minnesota in the third round of the 2009 NHL Draft.
In a press conference, Sabres General Manager Darcy Regier said that Goalie Matthew Hackett "will compete at some point for a job here."
Larsson is a 20-year old left winger with one career NHL appearance. The Wild drafted the Sweden native in the second round of the 2010 NHL Draft.
So far, Buffalo has also traded defenseman T.J. Brennan, Jordan Leopold, and Robyn Regehr. In return, the Sabres have picked up a second round draft pick in 2013, two fifth round draft picks in 2013, a second round draft pick in 2014 and a second round draft pick in 2015.
Buffalo Sabres General Manager Darcy Regier says that no decision has been made on a replacement captain.

Excellent staff - friendly, helpful and great with insurance questions. My waiting room time maxed out at 5 minutes. They get you into your appointment. Dr. Wilgus is a pro - knows his stuff, made me feel comfortable with the procedures and is super nice. Really took great care of me and helped get my mouth healthy again. I was able to get in touch with him off-hours (late on a holiday) without problem. After a surgery, Dr. Wilgus even called later that evening to check up on me. Personal touches like that are not common, but a welcome thing. I am happy to have found such a wonderful doctor and highly recommend Dr. Wilgus.

This clinical guideline partially updates recommendation 1.2 for the use of myocardial perfusion scintigraphy for the diagnosis and management of angina and myocardial infarction from NICE technology appraisal guidance 73. It offers evidence-based advice on the care and treatment of adults diagnosed with stable angina.
Stable angina is usually caused by coronary heart disease, a condition in which blood vessels in the heart become narrowed by a build up of fat. This reduces the supply of blood and oxygen to the heart. The most common symptom of stable angina is pain or a feeling of discomfort or tightness in the chest, which can often spread to the jaw, back, shoulders and arms.

Issue 6.05 | May 1998

|Archive Category:
Internet Law

Global Economy
Future of Money
The Web was built on promises. I can remember two of them.
Let us love you, Web sites first said to consumers in the fall of 1994, when I helped launch HotWired as one of the first of the commercially supported ventures. Let us love you, and we will love you back. Start by telling us your secrets. If you do, they promised, we will deliver everything you ever wanted - not just pizza (though that will satisfy the Homer Simpson in all of us), but every other consumer product and service you covet now, and others you can only dream of. Imagine it, if you can: the Ultimate Takeout Menu.
Join us, the Web sites whispered to marketers out of the other side of their mouths. If you give us your money, they promised, we will give you a more intimate knowledge of customers than has ever existed before. In fact, we'll give you so much more than those dinosaurs in print and broadcast can give you, we'll blow your minds. Because we'll vacuum up all those responses to the Ultimate Takeout Menu, repackage them, and spit them out the other end of the pipe. We'll give you the Ultimate Focus Group. (The Web sites also perhaps saw that the Ultimate Focus Group could distract marketers into ignoring the small fact - especially in 1994 - that their audiences were infinitesimally smaller than the ones offered up by the dinosaurs.)
Delivering a happy convergence of these mirrored promises - the Ultimate Takeout Menu and the Ultimate Focus Group - would produce that Holy Grail of commercial relationships predicted by marketing gurus Don Peppers and Martha Rogers in their 1993 book The One to One Future even before the Web arrived in our lives.
The One to One Future was the title under the arm of nearly every publisher and marketer I ran into at Web conferences or read about in the trade press during the medium's earliest days. And their speeches and quotes were full of Peppers and Rogers mantras, like the ones the authors delivered in the February 1994 issue of this magazine ("Is Advertising Finally Dead?" Wired 2.02, page 71). Eight months before the commercial Web's début, one-to-one's dynamic duo predicted that among the "new rules of engagement governing business competition" were "initiating, maintaining, and improving dialogs with individual consumers, abandoning the old-fashioned advertising monologs of mass media."
An unspoken, and quite believable, premise of the one-to-one future is that as consumers in a service economy, we always want "more" - and we reliably want that "more" to be ever easier to obtain. The Peppers and Rogers acolytes hauling around those dog-eared copies of the way new marketing bible understand. They've declared that the Web will offer personalization, customization, and unlimited choice - a more perfect couch-potato experience. Filtering software, intelligent agents, and personal shoppers, they have said, will be at the beck and call of our digital alter egos (a declaration that merely extends a promise first offered, but not fulfilled, by companies like General Magic in the days before the Web took off).
The one-to-one disciples have also proclaimed that marketers, who always want to move more product, will now get instant feedback, near-perfect information, and deeper insights into the habits, feelings, likes, and dislikes of us, their often elusive customers. The Web will reverse the mistakes of the mass-market economy's unproductive commercial relationships, which were "based on guesswork on the part of the seller and frustration on the part of the buyer," as Firefly Network executive Saul Klein sardonically observes.
It is the perfect project for the decade's consumerist new economy society: finding, at long last, the one-to-one Shangri-La. The topic skimmed by one pundit or another at nearly every recent TED conference. The "Web lifestyle" Bill Gates says he now anticipates. And, since 1994, the target of dozens of companies in a race to build the growing set of tools - for consumers and marketers alike - that can make it real. Among the entrants are Firefly and Net Perceptions, which provide filtering and recommendation software for businesses; Excite and Yahoo!, with personalized services like My Excite Channel and My Yahoo!; MatchLogic, which sells marketers a service that centralizes management of advertising banners and measures the number of times consumers see and click on those ads; and RelevantKnowledge, Media Metrix, even Nielsen Media Research itself, which strive to build Web-ratings services that count and compare audiences - like the services Nielsen has offered for decades to the television industry.

Carbquik Bake Mix
Carbquik Baking Mix is a revolutionary baking mix for everyone counting carbs. It's made from wheat so it tastes like flour, try it and you'll see that it tastes as good or better than the leading brand, with 90% less carbs.
Carbquik will work in almost any recipe calling for traditional bake mix. It can be used in pancakes, biscuits, waffles, pizzas, and just about any other baked product. You can even fry with it (don't try that with other low carb bake mixes).
Most low carb bake mixes are made from soy protein, giving them gritty textures and soy aftertastes. Since Carbquik is made from wheat, products made with it taste just like products made using flour or other bake mixes. It's even lower in sodium and calories than the leading full carb mix. Not only that, but most Carbquik recipes have 3 net carbs or less per serving.
Carbquik is a complete, low carb baking mix made with Carbalose that is similar to Bisquick. Since Carbquik is made from Carbalose instead of regular flour, it contains 90% less Net Carbs than Bisquick. Carbquik can be used in many recipes, such as biscuits, muffins, pancakes, waffles, pizza crust, and dumplings, as well as many cake and sweet dough recipes.
Carbalose is made through a unique process and contains Enzyme-Modified Wheat, as well as plant fiber, wheat protein and some unique conditioners, enzymes and emulsifiers. Carbalose does not contain any soy protein, sugar-alcohols, dairy, animal-originated, trans-fatty, or saturated fat products. Carbquik does contain soy (vegetable fiber).

I know, it's not in any way, shape or form related to cooking but hey, that is how my evening has been.
My grandchildren and I have been outside to slay some dragons. I love their imagination. They have "aiyas" which are foam swords and I bought them shields. They are all set to slay and train dragons. Izzy would declare a red dragon was by a tree so we would run to the tree and slay the dragon. Then Asher would say another green dragon was near the flowers and we would head in that direction. I knew getting them inside was going to be a challenge but then I said we had to wash off the dragon slime. That worked like a charm and they are now clean and dressed for bed. Funny how when you put things in a certain way, these kids will do anything.
Another bonus was that I made salisbury steak from scratch for them and they devoured that too! Fun day but this grandma is wearing down. I was up very early to drive 2 and a half hours to spend a few days with my daughter and the kids while they adjust to her husband going back to work. So far things are going well. Maybe tomorrow we'll eat some pasta since these kids love noodles as much as I do!
