BROWNINGTON - The reconstruction of Bridge 9 on the Center Road dividing the Towns of Brownington and Barton will be completed this May when expansion joints, which need to be approved by state and federal agencies, are finished to allow flexibility during earthquakes or other events.
The bridge, probably built in the 1950s, was completely destroyed during Tropical Storm Irene in 2011.
The cost to replace the bridge is shared between the two towns, though Brownington is the owner of the project and bills

City People Notebook
CITY PEOPLE NOTEBOOK (1989) is the sequel to Will Eisner's New York: The Big City. This is not a 'graphic novel' so much as a series of 32 vignettes and 'graphic essays' developed while researching New York. Centered on an examination of three facets of city life: Time, Space and Smell, Eisner brings to this task a lifetime of memories, encounters and experiences and shares them with consummate skill.
Eisner wrote: "During my relocation to Florida, these files were unearthed and the idea of harvesting this unused crop presented itself. As it always seems to happen, simple ideas quickly become complex projects, and soon I was at work 'tightening' sketches, filling gaps, and finally inking the whole shebang to fit a book format."

Evans, NY - An Evans man, who contacted us after he felt he wrongly received a parking ticket at the beach, won't have to pay the fine.
The Evans town prosecutor called Paul Harenza Monday to tell him his ticket is dismissed.
"It feels good to put this behind me," says Harenza.
The father of two fought the parking ticket he got at Bennett Beach last month because he said it was given to him unfairly. Turns out he was right.
"I just got off the phone with the Town of Evans prosecutor who informed me my ticket would be dropped because they realized it was a mistake and shouldn't have happened," says Harenza.
Harenza took a picture of an Erie County parks employee putting up a no parking sign in front of cars already parked on the grass at the beach. After the county sheriff's department handed out parking tickets, Harenza called our tipline and the county replaced the green signs with these red signs with clearer instructions.
"Bennett Beach is a beautiful beach. Just follow the signs and park in the right side. If it's overflowed, then they say you can't park on the grass, but use caution," explains Harenza.
On July 29, Harenza went to court to fight his ticket only to find out the county wrote down the wrong date.
So he entered a not guilty plea and received a summons for this Thursday.
Then late Monday, Harenza says the town prosecutor called him and admitted it was all a big misunderstanding.
"If you feel you were wronged, I would fight it. I just hope it doesn't discourage people from coming out here to the Town of Evans because it is beautiful out here," he says.

By Eric Brandner
They will come to heal. They will come to relax. And they will come to learn.
The USO Warrior and Family Center at Fort Belvoir, Va. – the largest USO center ever constructed – will host its grand opening Tuesday afternoon. The center sits in the shadow of Fort Belvoir Community Hospital and is the most significant structural demonstration to date of the USO's evolving mission to help wounded, ill and injured troops and their families and caregivers.
Most of the troops assigned to the Fort Belvoir Warrior Transition Unit are receiving treatment for invisible wounds of war – conditions like post-traumatic stress and traumatic brain injury. Like all USO centers, the new building on Fort Belvoir will provide a place for them to kick back and relax away from their barracks room. But it will also address their No. 1 request: A place to plan for life after the military.
"We will provide troops and families with some of the tools they'll need to move on to the next stage of their lives," USO President Sloan Gibson wrote in a recent letter to donors.
The USO went to great lengths to ensure the Fort Belvoir center met the needs of America's recovering troops. During the conception stage, the USO included a subset of questions in its annual Tell USO Survey aimed at discovering the needs of wounded, ill and injured troops who will be using the center. Their top desire was to have access to "online college and professional development classes."
They're getting that – and a lot more.
Spanning nearly 1,800 square feet, the Learning Center inside the USO Warrior and Family Center is divided into four rooms.
The most expansive of these spaces is the Classroom, which was designed with group distance learning in mind. The 830-square-foot room features 18 workstations for students. Each workstation has a desktop computer with Internet access. All of those computers are linked to a large flat screen monitor and a Promethian ActivBoard at the front of the room. The ActivBoard is an interactive white board that can display both instructors' and students' screens during learning sessions, helping to make teaching and comprehension easier.
Contractors and USO information technology staffers have spent the last week putting the finishing touches on the Classroom, which is already slated to host three multi-day USO/Hire Heroes USA Workshops in the next eight months – part of the 30-plus USO Warrior and Family Care programmatic events already scheduled at the Fort Belvoir center in 2013.
Connecting with off-site instructors is easy, too, as a pair of cameras – one each on the front and back walls of the room – make video teleconferencing easy.
Recovering troops, family members and caregivers will also have teleconferencing capabilities in the Study – a 195-square-foot space designed for private classes and interactions – and the Learning Center Lounge, which is an open, 620-square-foot area designed for meetings and group learning.
The final room – dubbed the Learning Center Office – provides a 140-square-foot space for visiting instructors, career counselors or even hiring managers to have one-on-one conversations with troops, spouses and caregivers looking to take the next step in life.
On the off chance there's no room in the Learning Center, USO guests have other, portable options to make sure their distance learning needs are met.
The Business Center – located adjacent to the Learning Center – has six desktop computer stations for guest use. And if troops or family members want to find a secluded place of their own, there will be a laptop checkout stand at the Business Center featuring 12 machines they can borrow for use inside the center.

Read: How Wade Redden Can Get Back To The NHL
At CBC, Elliotte Friedman writes that the best chance for Wade Redden to return to the NHL will be with a possible amnesty buyout clause that may come with the new CBA.
The Rangers used the buy out clause to buy out the final two years of Bobby Holik's five-year deal worth $45 million.
After the 24% roll back Holik would have had a cap hit of $6.726 million.
The absolute best part of this article from the New York Times on the Rangers buying out Holik is that on the same day they did they also signed Henrik Lundqvist.
I will never forget the day that the Rangers signed Holik and never forget how little I cared when they bought him out. I hope that the Rangers do this if they have the chance. It would save them actual money and it would give Wade the chance to play again. I like that he is accepting his move to Hartford so well for this season, and that he can be a leader down there again, but I hope that he gets another shot at the NHL with another team.

At Pure Mobile, top-notch mobile accessories are kind of our thing.
So when we came across a story on Gizmodo about a bogus Chinese iPhone 5 dock that doesn't actually work, all we could think was "for shame."
"Don't buy an iPhone 5 dock," Gizmodo warned, "because it's a Chinese scam."
Their information comes from Double Helix Cables, where a friend actually had a hands-on experience with the fake accessory. Here's what they had to say:
"Opening up the box and out pops this stinker. I did a double take because it looked like a prank, prop, or placeholder of some sort. The lightning plug on the dock looks like a damn piece of cardboard, if you can even call it that. Because it's a cardboard-like chunk of circuit board that supposedly is going to fit into my iPhone 5."
The reviewer goes on to write about the the fact that dock's cutout "isn't remotely close to being iPhone 5 shaped," and then elaborates on the "home brewed lightning plug [...] which 100% doesn't fit."
This lovely critique then ends with the writer concluding that any "further effort to make this non functional dock [work] would probably damage my iPhone."
Granted, Apple doesn't actually make a dock accessory for the iPhone 5, yet. But that's no reason for third party manufacturers to start churning out ones that simply don't work.
Many would be more than happy to produce a suitable iPhone 5 dock that actually functions, especially if they don't have to compete with Apple itself. There are plenty of fun third party iPhone 5 gadgets out there that not only work, but work really well.
And, in our opinion, there's no excuse for this kind of blatant BS when so many companies have been able to turn a dollar making affordable and functional iPhone accessories that consumers actually want.

HONG KONG (MarketWatch) — China stocks struggled unsuccessfully Thursday to sustain a second day of gains, while Tokyo markets outperformed as a weaker yen supported exporters and as investors looked toward the nation's general election later this month.
More broadly around Asia, stock markets were split between gainers and losers, while a composite index for the region, the Asia Dow, was up 0.2%.
Japan's Nikkei Stock Average NIK, -1.11% rose 0.8% to close at its highest level since April 26, while South Korea's Kospi SEU, -0.13% ticked up 0.4%.
In Hong Kong, the Hang Seng Index HSI, -0.57% traded basically flat, retreating 0.1% after gaining 2.2% on Wednesday to close at a 16-month high.
The Shanghai Composite Index 000001, -0.89% slipped 0.1%, paring an almost 3% gain from the previous day, when it rebounded from a 46-month closing low.
Singapore's Straits Times Index STI, -1.56% rose 0.1%, while Australia's S&P/ASX 200 index XJO, -0.57% dipped 0.3%.
Japan politics
Japanese political news appeared better received by the local market, after a Nikkei opinion poll Thursday showed the main opposition Liberal Democratic Party on track to reach a majority in the election on Dec. 16.
Has the yen run its course?
The yen has seen some weakness, but has it reached the end of that road?
The LDP and its leader, former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, are broadly in favor of applying looser monetary policies.
"Every time there 's a change in leadership in Japan, a little bit of optimism gets thrown in because it's assumed that policy will have to change," said Louis Capital Markets' head of Japanese equities, Ben Collette, in Hong Kong.
Collette said he expected a mild correction in Japanese stocks, as the yen was overdue for a rebound following its sharp decline in recent weeks.
In the coming year, Collette expects further weakness in the Japanese currency to underpin gains in Tokyo stocks.
"Once the yen pushes back to 90 [to the U.S. dollar,] you are going to have a hard time buying enough stock in the names that everyone knows," Collette said. He adds that he's been advising clients to look toward consumer-oriented exporters such as Sony Corp. and Sharp Corp.
Chris Weston, chief market strategist at IG Markets, added: "Talk in Japan that certain polls had the LDP party romping home in the upcoming lower house election saw dollar/yen and yen crosses predictably attracting strong buying interest."

John Rowe discusses how cap-and-trade legislation works to limit costs
CHICAGO (Nov. 16, 2009) –Exelon Chairman and CEO John W. Rowe said today that current legislative proposals on climate will minimize costs to consumers while addressing the imminent threat of global warming. In a keynote speech at the National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners annual convention, Rowe said a cap-and-trade system is cheaper than any of the alternatives and current proposals include protections to avoid sharp price increases for consumers.
"I believe the Senate can pass bipartisan climate legislation this Congress," said Rowe. "The support of wavering senators will turn on whether they are reassured on the issue of costs, and I am confident they will be."
Rowe pointed to three ways that the current climate proposals will work to limit consumer costs. First, he said that cap-and-trade is a market mechanism that is less expensive per ton of carbon removed than direct government requirements to purchase wind and solar. Second, Rowe cited the free emissions permits that would be given to local delivery companies to benefit their customers. Utilities would be required to use the proceeds from these permits to help customers affected by higher energy prices through rebates, low-income assistance, energy-efficiency programs and other measures. Finally, he voiced support for the development of a "price collar" that puts a minimum and maximum on permit prices, ensuring that the cost increases in the early years are modest.
"Make no mistake: we are acting in one way or another to address climate change," said Rowe. "As we act, the key consideration needs to be whether we are doing the cheapest things first."
Rowe also refuted the idea that cap-and-trade would transfer wealth from the Midwest to the coasts. Exelon's modeling indicates that electricity rates would not go up dramatically as a result of a climate bill. In fact, the modeling shows rates in Illinois, Minnesota and Ohio would remain lower than rates in California and Massachusetts.
Exelon is not waiting for legislation to undertake its own effort to address climate change through Exelon 2020, an environmental and business strategy to reduce, offset or displace more than 15 million metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions per year by 2020. In April 2009, Exelon announced that it had reduced its greenhouse gas emissions by more than 35 percent from 2001 to 2008. Rowe is the electricity industry's longest-serving chief executive, with nearly 26 years as a utility CEO. Rowe was among the first CEOs in the industry to focus on climate change, first testifying before Congress on the potential effects of carbon emissions in 1992. He currently serves as co-chair of the bipartisan National Commission on Energy Policy, and previously chaired the Edison Electric Institute and the Nuclear Energy Institute.
Rowe's prepared remarks are available on the Exelon Web site at: www.exeloncorp.com/aboutus/speakersbureau.
Exelon Corporation is one of the nation's largest electric utilities with approximately $19 billion in annual revenues. The company has one of the industry's largest portfolios of electricity generation capacity, with a nationwide reach and strong positions in the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic. Exelon distributes electricity to approximately 5.4 million customers in northern Illinois and southeastern Pennsylvania and natural gas to approximately 485,000 customers in the Philadelphia area. Exelon is headquartered in Chicago and trades on the NYSE under the ticker EXC.

Cedar Planked Salmon Cooked in the CrockPot
Day 338.
I bought a cedar board a while ago, and planned on using it in the summer, but never got around to it. This is a fun way to cook fish in the crockpot---it's different, and the cedar provides a hint of smokey and woodsy flavor to the fish. My kids love fish, and each ate a bunch, which thrilled me so much we got frozen yogurt for dessert.
The Ingredients.
--1 singe-use cedar plank, cut to size
--1 lb salmon
--2 limes
--1 tsp cumin
--1 tsp salt
--1 tsp garlic powder
--1 tsp rosemary
--1 tsp onion powder
--1 T honey
The Directions.
Have your amazing husband (or other handy-type person not scared of saws) cut the cedar plank to size. He cut the board to fit the 6 quart crockpot, but it fit in the 4 quart, too.
Soak the plank in water for at least an hour.
While it is soaking, combine the dry spices in a bowl. Rub the salmon on all sides with the spice rub, and then drizzle on the honey. Top with slices from 2 limes, and slide it all into a plastic storage bag. Refrigerate while the board is soaking---at least one hour, but overnight in the refrigerator is fine.
When the time has passed, put the wet cedar plank into the bottom of your crockpot. Put the salmon (with the lime slices) directly on the board.
If you are using a great-big-huge crockpot, put a sheet of foil over the salmon and scrunch it down to create a smaller area for the steam and heat.
Cover and cook on low for 2 hours. Check the salmon---it should flake easily with a fork. If it doesn't, cook on low for an additional 30 minutes and check again.
The Verdict.
Moist, delicious fish. I've cooked fish in the crock numerous times now, and each and every time I'm blown away at how easy it is and how the fish remains moist and flaky---without a hint of fish smell in the house.
The cedar plank was fun, and it certainly is dramatic to serve the fish that way, but if you don't have one, the fish will be just as good wrapped in a foil packet.

I never thought to use my crock pot to cook fish. This recipe looks amazing! I may need to try it even before I find a cedar plank!

That sounds delicious! (I have never cooked anything with a cedar plank, though... am I the only one who has never heard of this?) But whatever, my hubby loves fish, so I have to try it! :) Thank you!

oh man... I LOVE salmon! I bet that was delicious!!! What a neat idea to use the plank in the crock!!

That sounds delish!!!
My favorite way to cook salmon is in a foil packet, with lemon slices and a glaze of butter and soy sauce. Yummy, and so so simple!!

This sounds soooo good! Does this have to be done with a single use plank (which I have never seen) or can you use the ones at Camping World, which are ment to last?

Cindi, crockpotting fish is wonderful---I'm so happy to not have the fish smell or a dirty stove-top; and no butter!
Melowedy, sure. It will take longer to cook, but will work just fine.
Susan, I've seen the planks before and have seen them used on Food Network, but this is the first time we've used them at home.
Carrie, it was good!
SmrfChic, I love the sound of your marinade, yum!
Beth Ann, I got the single-use ones at the grocery store. Yes, a reusable one would work just fine, and be more cost-effective. You'll need to have somebody trim it to size, though.

This might be my new favorite salmon recipe. I will have to try it right away (since I made salmon just last night!)
If you are interested in a great way to incorporate salmon into a pasta dish, let me know! The dish I made last night is to die for!! I don't have a crockpot adaptation, but that's your specialty!

I've been wondering if you'll be attempting a ham for Christmas in the crockpot??? :D
- December 3, 2008 at 1:36 PM
- Crockpot Lady said...
Hi Thais,
I don't know. I'm allergic to pork, so thus far the site doesn't have any pork on it (although you can look for the pork link in the left sidebar for a bunch of reader recipes). If I come up with an opportunity to make ham in the crock before Christmas to share with friends and other family, then I will. Otherwise, I'm going to hold off on the pork and just prepare food that I (and the kids) can eat.

Thais, I did a crockpot ham using a recipe I found here: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Slow-Cooker-Ham/Detail.aspx but cut back the amount of the 2nd ingredient quite a bit.
My husband asked why I was doing the ham in the CP and not the oven and gave me a look of disdain, but he seemed to enjoy it. I loved that the bone fell out and I had my oven available to do other things. Plus the mess was very well contained.
Thanks for this idea salmon recipe Steph, I may have to try it very soon. Like others, it never occurred to me to cook fish in the CP either.

Great idea! I've cooked Salmon on a cedar plank before, but that was on the gas grill. I'll have to try it in the Crock Pot.
If you are looking to save some $$ on the cedar board, you can buy an untreated Cedar board at Lowe's or Home Depot, and they will cut the board into pieces for free. I bought an 8 foot board for under $20, and got 8 different planks cut from it at the store.

My husband will be thrilled to know a cedar plank can be used in the crockpot! He's the chef around here and has been looking for an excuse to buy a plank, since we have no grill.
- December 5, 2008 at 11:04 PM
Wow! This sounds so good! I had found some good recipes for seafood in the crockpot http://www.squidoo.com/CrockpotSeafood here but never saw this idea! I'll be back often!

Very easy. Seasonings were good. I did use the foil to create a roof, but didn't monitor/check the fish, and 2 hours on high for 1.3 lbs of salmon left it dry in my crockpot. Next try I'll decrease the cooking time and it should be great.

Phenomenal idea of using a slow cooker for fish. I never thought of it. Read this while at work and had to try it. almost cut my thumb off with a reciprocating saw when cutting the cedar plank (they had those at the grocery store right next to the salmon :)). Ddidn't bother marinading in the fridge; just layered fresh dill, sliced limes and cajun seasoning on the salmon).

Sounds yummy! Can you cook this on low for 2 hrs and then have it sit on warm for say 6 hrs or would that cook the fist to much? I am at work all day and set my crock pot before leaving in the morning?

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.
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.

The ADT Corporation announced yesterday that it has closed its acquisition of Canadian monitoring giant Protectron.
ADT, which executed a definitive agreement to acquire Reliance Protectron in April, acquired the company for total cash consideration of CAD $555 million.
ADT has now officially added 400,000 customers and 31,000 accounts north of the border, worth approximately $11 million in RMR.
ADT, which already has two central stations in Canada, adds four more through the acquisition. Protectron, a portfolio company of investment funds managed by Alinda Capital Partners, has 900 employees. Its customer base is 75 percent residential.
ADT's plan, as stated at the time it agreed to acquire the company, is to use the acquisition as the platform for a stand-alone business in Canada with a dedicated management team, a move designed to address the country's specific market needs. In a news release, ADT said it planned to continue to using the Protectron brand under ADT ownership.
In late April, following the acquisition agreement, Lee Jackson, regional VP Canada, said it was too early to say whether ADT would keep all six Canadian central stations in operation. He noted that ADT has yet to determine which resources and administrative functions it will transfer to Canada to supports its expanded account base in that country, now up to 800,000.
The acquisition goes down as ADT's largest since becoming an independent company, far surprassing its 2013 Devcon deal, according to John Mack, EVP and managing director at Imperial Capital, who spoke to SSN when the agreement to acquire became public. At the time, Mack said the deal signals a return to "growth initiatives [through] high quality acquisitions" and predicted the deal would help ADT's attrition profile while bolstering its enhanced services sales.
It will be interesting to wait and see if Mack's words prove to be prophetic.
Bob Sawyer, who has been with AMAG Technology for 40 years, the past 19 as president and CEO as of July 1, is now chairman of AMAG's Board of Directors.
The new president of AMAG is Matt Barnette, who been with AMAG for 10 years, most recently as EVP of global marketing and sales.
Barnette will report to G4S Technology CEO, Keith Whitelock.
I had a chance to correspond via email with Matt yesterday and asked him to fill me in on any new deals AMAG has closed since I last saw him at PSA-TEC in May.
"Since I saw you last at PSA-TEC, we've secured several Fortune 100 companies with our Audit, Credentialing & Compliance software. We have installed our Symmetry SR product at two 5,000+ card reader end-users (one in telecommunications and the other in energy sector) and we continue to gain marketshare with our Symmetry Video platform. We are launching Symmetry v8 in August, so there is a lot of momentum right now," he said in the email. I also asked him about plans for the future. "Fortunately, we have a fantastic foundation here to build from. My plan is to accelerate growth by increasing our Business Development team, both in North America and Internationally, to help blanket the end-user and consultant community to update them on our tremendous products and services. In addition, [I want to] increase our footprint in services revenue by scaling that organization to meet the higher demands of the global accounts we've captured. We've found customers enjoy a much higher level of product satisfaction when they have a Symmetry Certified ProService Engineer working closely with them."
In a prepared statement, Bob Sawyer said: "Matt Barnette has a deep knowledge of all major aspects of the security products industry coupled with over 20 years of experience building and leading teams. Over the last 10 years, Matt has done an exceptional job leading the sales and marketing teams, while working closely with AMAG's senior leadership to support the growth of the company's global organization. His contributions, experience and integrity make him the ideal candidate to succeed me as president of AMAG Technology."
Prior to AMAG, Barnette worked for Andover Controls in its Integral Technologies Division.
AMAG Technology is based in Torrance, Calif., and has offices throughout the U.S., offering security and video solutions to government and private-sector customers in North America through authorized dealers.
"You Speak. Your Home Listens." That's how ADT is describing ADT Pulse Voice, a new app that adds personal voice commands to Pulse security systems.
Voice commands appear to be the hot new trend in home security. For example, I blogged recently about the voice control capabilities of Honeywell's Wi-Fi thermostat. And Alan Stoddard, senior director of marketing for Honeywell Security Products Americas, told me last week that a new release of Honeywell's Tuxedo Touch this month will provide for voice commands.
ADT announced the release of its new app today and bills ADT Pulse Voice technology as "the first of its kind in the smart home space."
The company says the technology "enables homeowners to log in and log out of the Pulse Voice app via custom technology that recognizes unique voice signatures. Once logged in, users can arm and disarm their Pulse security panel, control their home's lighting, adjust thermostats, lock and unlock doors, and check the overall status of their home – all verbally and virtually touchless through an iOS or Android smart phone."
ADT says it's all about making life simpler for today's busy homeowners. No longer do they have to interrupt what they're doing to manually control their homes. "Instead, a homeowner's voice can trigger ADT Pulse functions by recognizing select key words, device names and phrases to perform. In addition to accepting personal voice commands, the ADT Pulse Voice app provides auditory feedback to confirm actions and system status for all of its connected devices."
The technology is a boon for the visually impaired as well, ADT says.
The company says it has also taken steps to secure homeowners' privacy in case a mobile device is lost or stolen. ADT says it does that by leveraging "a multi-layered identification process allowing only registered members of a household to log in. Through voice commands, a user is approved by three personal checkpoints: a secret phrase, state-of-the-art voice recognition, and confirmed identification of a mobile device. …Without all three verification checkpoints confirmed, any login attempt will be denied."
The company says existing ADT customers can download the new app for free in the Apple App Store, as well as through Google Play.
With ESX 2014 in the rearview mirror, I wanted to combine some of my experiences into one summarizing blog of an event rich in educational seminars and insightful speakers. Here are some of the sights and sounds, in more or less chronological order:
How, in 2014 and beyond, does a security company remain relevant? That's the question Safeguard Security CEO John Jennings addressed at the ESA eye-opener breakfast, urging audience members to free themselves from outmoded ways of doing and thinking about business.
Titled "Dinosaurs, Woolly Mammoths, Saber tooth tigers and you," the presentation very directly explored strategies to help security companies avoid becoming, well, extinct. His recommendations? Promoting unorthodox perspectives, challenging the obvious and fostering divergent ideas. He encouraged listeners to emulate the disruptive, risk-taking attitudes prevalent in the tech startup culture—first by considering failure not as an endgame, but as an occasional and even necessary obstacle along the pathway to better ideas.
Jennings also told attendees to ask the tough questions about their businesses, and to be uncompromising about having employees who both perform in the field and elevate the atmosphere in the office.
Strategic planning, Jennings noted, can be relegated to the dustbin of history. In an industry so rapidly evolving and so hard to predict, such projects no longer constitute a good use of time. Oh, and organizational charts? Those can go too. Divisions between personnel need no longer be so neatly divided or even hierarchical, as leaders should aim to pool ideas from all levels of their management structure.
Jennings also made a persuasive and rather funny case for doing away with the term "central station." "Central station—really?!" he asked with half-serious outrage. He then asked if anyone outside the industry actually knows what a central station is. He's got a point. There's something a little unsleek and Star Trek-y about the phrase. And that's misleading; the facilities I've visited are nothing if not sleek.
In the afternoon I moderated a seminar featuring Tom Szell, SVP, ADS Security, Mike Bodnar, president, Security Partners, and Brandon Savage, SVP customer experience and operations at My Alarm Center/Alarm Capital Alliance. It was a good mix of perspectives, and the trio wasn't shy about proposing some forward-thinking ideas. Savage urged attendees to make customer support not just a differentiator but the key differentiator at their companies. Szell affirmed that the interactive services revolution is an enormous positive for the industry, but said the next imperative is figuring out how to provide top-notch support for this ever-expanding array of services. With respect to the hiring and training process, Mike Bodnar encouraged attendees to identify people with the right mix of hard and soft skills, and added that the demand for operators with those characteristics is only going to increase.
From a monitoring standpoint, the panelists left no stone unturned: PERS, mobile PERS, installer apps, subscriber apps, the ASAP to PSAP program, customer surveys, video verification, and interactive services and the new expectations for customer support they've produced.
In the latter part of the session, the audience members posed some superb questions as well. Some asked how to extend the life of PERS accounts or how to develop the most effective and informative customer surveys. Others asked about the threat of DIY / MIY systems and how best to cope with broader market awareness of these systems.
The ESX show floor kicks into full gear Wednesday. I plan to be there the next two days and to make a point of getting to as many of the educational seminars as possible.
It had the feel of a seminar anyone in the monitoring space needed to hear. Moderated by Don Childers, COO of Security Central, the panel titled "IP, the Central Station and All that Jazz" got down to the brass tacks of what it takes to be a monitoring company in 2014. One of the ruling themes: You need to honestly assess the strengths and weaknesses of your monitoring company now to determine how well suited or not it is to be reliable hub of IP signals.
The panelist lineup included Sascha Kylau, VP central station solutions and services, OneTel; Morgan Hertel, VP of operations at Rapid Response Monitoring; and Mark McCall, director of IT, Security Central.
The "Internet of Things" movement was broached early in the session, with Kylau mentioning some possibilities for monitoring that might have seemed farfetched a few years ago but that now seem totally plausible. Pet tracking, mobile medical monitoring, mobile tracking, geo fencing, aggregating information from household appliances—Kylau touched on all these possibilities. Some of these services, such as PERS, are already well-established streams of RMR for some monitoring companies, and only stand to become more mainstream in the years ahead.
The panelists agreed that investing in quality ISPs and bandwidth will pay off in the long run. Hertel noted that during Hurricane Sandy, Rapid Response was hit was an astonishing rate of signals for two weeks straight. With such taxing scenarios in mind, he advised monitoring companies to invest in reliable, first-rate ISPs, and to work closely with automation providers to ensure their company can accommodate IP traffic in any set of circumstances. To that point, McCall added that it's crucial to invest in a network monitoring platform that tracks signal information and informs you when the IP firewall is about to max out.
The panelists didn't just discuss the equipment investments in the central station IP domain. They also touched on the human capital aspect of the business, which is evolving in proportion to the technology. Hertel said Rapid Response now employs a 25-person IT and software development team.
Later in the day I caught up with Jeremy Mclerran, director of marketing at Qolsys. The company's big news at the show was the launch of its new user interface intended to make the customer experience more consistent and sleek. To that end, the new look is a rousing success; it's an uncluttered, clean, visually appealing interface. McLerran explained that Qolsys is so closely integrated with Alarm.com that remodeling the company's own interface to make it closer in alignment with that platform's look and feel "just made sense."
Though the new look features flat, monochromatic icons, McLerran pointed out that the changes aren't just cosmetic. The company's intent was to design a "forward-compatible" panel that interoperates with a host of wireless radios and has a slew of home control functionalities already embedded. Qolsys also managed to elicit some guffaws with its anonymous banner ads adorning the escalators: "1980 called. It wants its panel back." The banners also encouraged industry members to take a deep breath and "just say no" to rubber button keypads.
In the afternoon I met with Dave Mayne, VP of marketing at Resolution Products, which today announced the release of its new Helix panel, scheduled to ship everywhere in December. Mayne said the panel reflects Resolution's goal of creating a panel that reduces the amount of time dealers need to spend servicing accounts, while giving them a pathway to adding new home control functions. The Helix employs software and interactive services from SecureNet. It will ship to a select group of early adopters in July, he said.
I also spoke with Kirk MacDowell, VP sales, intrusion-Americas, at Interlogix, about the company's recent acquisition of Ultra High Speed, a technology provider of telecommunications infrastructure equipment. The move expands the company's global intrusion portfolio in the residential and small- to medium-sized retail verticals. A big draw, MacDowell said, was that UHS was a "proven, developed and launched" service.
First thing tomorrow morning I'll be attending the ESX Rise and Shine breakfast, where I'll be listening closely to what some of the new entrants to the industry have to say about their go-to-market strategies and their vision for the security industry of tomorrow. I'm eager for this session, and from what I've heard from attendees, I'm not alone. I expect to see few if any empty seats.
Day 3 - ESX 2014
The final day of ESX began with a highly anticipated panel moderated by ESX chair George De Marco. The panel was intended to showcase how some of the new security entrants envision the direction of the industry.
The lineup included Adam Mayer, VP strategy and new business development, Time Warner Cable; Gene LaNois, GM, Nest Labs, Pro Channel; and Mike Hackett, VP sales and marketing, Qolsys.
De Marco did not refrain from asking the tough questions, or in other words, the questions the audience wanted to hear. In view of Google-owned Nest recently acquiring Dropcam, he asked LaNois if he thought third-party monitoring centers and installers would remain crucial components of security, or if DIY systems would factor them out of the equation. The response from LaNois, and from the other panelists who chimed in, were not exactly discouraging for installers or monitoring personnel. Yes, both LaNois and Mayer agreed the DIY market was poised to take off. But they also agreed that for more complex integration projects, installers will still be in high demand, and will continue to play a major role in shaping the industry moving forward. The key takeaways of the panel were that lifestyle services and monitored security can and will share a symbiotic relationship, and that DIY systems, while a threat to central station RMR, are not necessarily going to destroy the entire central station model. If anything, they might just modify it.
After the seminar I caught up with Telguard's Shawn Welsh, VP marketing and business development, and Pamela Benke, director of marketing, to discuss the company's new cellular alarm communicator for CDMA networks, the TG-1 Express CDMA. Welsh said the product goes along way toward expanding the company's residential reach, turning rural or hilly regions, where cellular coverage can be spotty, into more viable zones for Telguard's services. Compatible with Verizon's 3G/4G wireless networks, the CDMA alternative is being marketed as a replacement to soon-to-be obsolete GSM products. Telguard is making the product eligible for the company's Upgrade Incentive Program, which allows dealers to receive $25 for replacing GSM units.
On my final day at ESX, I got wind that the Partnership for Priority Video Alarm Response met its ESX deadline for developing video verification best practices. Mark McCall, IT director at Security Central, Keith Jentoft, president at Videofied-RSI Technologies, and Peter Tallman, program manager at Underwriters Laboratories shed some light on their roles in the process, and on the numeric threat evaluation criteria outlined in the new recommendations.
Pam Petrow stands out in the industry as one of just a handful of female CEO's of a leading security company.
Now, four years into her leadership as CEO and president of Vector Security, Petrow is being distinguished again, this time for winning the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year award for her region, the Pittsburgh-based company announced this week.
As the Western Pennsylvania/West Virginia award winner, Ms. Petrow will be automatically eligible for consideration for the Entrepreneur of the Year 2014 national program, the winners of which will be announced in November, according to a Vector news release.
The EY award "honors distinguished entrepreneurs who demonstrate widespread success, a commitment to innovation and forward thinking and unwavering passion for business," the release said. Former recipients have included CEOs, private capital investors and regional leaders of a wide range of businesses.
Petrow succeeded Vector's longtime president, John Murphy, after his death in October 2010. She formerly was Vector's EVP and COO.
In a prepared statement about her EY award, Petrow credited company employees and the community with the win. "Being recognized for this prestigious award is not only a testament to the dedication of our employees, many of whom have made serving our customers their careers, but also to the stability and pioneering spirit of the people and businesses in our communities," she said.
Vector serves nearly 300,000 residential and business customers. The release said Petrow "challenges managers to learn what their direct reports do on a day-to-day basis and to adapt their management style to extract the best performance from their employees."
It also noted that she "held leadership positions in a number of security industry associations and received a number of awards including the Public-Safety Communications Officials International President's Award and Central Station Alarm Association recognition for her outstanding contributions to the electronic transmission of signals between central stations and 911 dispatch centers. In 2012, Ms. Petrow was inducted into the Security Sales & Integration Hall of Fame."
Pretty impressive!
Like many in the security industry, I was saddened to learn about the death June 12 of Tim Feury, president of systems integration firm Altec Systems. Feury was 56 and died of complications of heart failure, according to an obituary in the Atlanta Journal Constitution.
I've interviewed Tim and his wife and business partner, Mary Feury, several times and enjoyed getting to know them at various events, especially PSA Security events. I have been in touch with Mary this week and plan to publish a more detailed remembrance of Tim once she and I have a chance to talk in the next few weeks.
In the meantime, here are a couple of links to stories I've written about Tim and Mary and Altec Systems. In this story from March, they were getting ready to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Altec systems (and their 10-year wedding anniversary as well.) And here's one from 2011 that talks about how Mary brought IT services to Altec Systems.
Tim Feury graduated from James Caldwell High School in New Jersey and moved to Atlanta in the early 1980s. In addition to his wife, Tim Feury is survived by sons, Andrew Feury of Atlanta, Matthew Feury of Atlanta, and Ryan Feury of Marietta; sisters, Patricia Borys of Marietta , MaryAnn Baker of Flanders, N.J. and Elizabeth Feury of Mount Olive Township, N.J.; brothers, John Feury of Verona, N.J. and Robert Feury of Lincoln Park, N.J.; and one grandchild.
Have you heard of Feenics? It's a new cloud-based access control platform that's being run by an industry vet and that attracted the attention of some integrators who are demoing, or getting ready to install "Keep" which is Feenics' first product.
Paul DiPeso, who was most recently with Lenel, is running the show for Feenics as VP and GM, and this week he's at the Feenics' office in Ottawa conducting a "voice of the customer" meeting with some integrators, including Alpha Corp, GS Security, Contava, TRL Systems, Open Systems and Koorsen Security.
I had a chance to speak to Di Peso as well as Skip Sampson and Shannon Martindale from Koorsen, and I'll have a regular story on the whole Feenics offering next week.
Suffice it to say, Sampson and Martindale are excited about the offering. Sampson believes Keep will be an RMR generator for his company and a product that his customers will like.
Sampson installed Keep at the Koorsen office and tested it for six months. "We gave [developers] feedback and they were quick to acknowledge and implement [some changes]," he said.
He's sold two systems and "has quite a few in the pipeline," he said. Asked about hosted and managed services, Sampson said he's dabbled in hosted video, but he believes that managed access control is "the most viable managed service. You don't need a huge pipe, huge SAN or attached storage, a DSL works just great," he said.
And with Keep, which works with standard Mercury panels "there's comfort that if the customer for some reason doesn't like it, you can put in something else without replacing the infrastructure. I think Sam was wise in doing that. We play on that point."
Sam is Sam Shalaby, former owner of FSC, who developed the product. Shalaby is still 100 percent owner of Feenics and sits on the board of advisors, but he is not involved in the day-to-day business.
Sampson acknowledged that there are "multiple other products that do similar things, but what's different with Sam's is that he didn't take a product that's been out there for 10 to 15 years and take the same GUI, and same layout and try to make it work as a hosted product. He started to build it with an integrator's mindset. It's not an access control panel-centric product."
Sampson called it "fresh and new and relevant," and said it has "kind of a Google look to it."
Working with DiPeso are Dave Charles who does business development, Ralph Shillington who is CTO and who developed the original software, and Anthony Shalaby who is running logistics.
Check back next week, for more details on Feenics' and DiPeso's go-to-market strategy.

16 U.S. Code § 1242 - National trails system
(a) Composition: recreation trails; scenic trails; historic trails; connecting or side trails; uniform markers
The national system of trails shall be composed of the following:
(1) National recreation trails, established as provided in section 1243 of this title, which will provide a variety of outdoor recreation uses in or reasonably accessible to urban areas.
(2) National scenic trails, established as provided in section 1244 of this title, which will be extended trails so located as to provide for maximum outdoor recreation potential and for the conservation and enjoyment of the nationally significant scenic, historic, natural, or cultural qualities of the areas through which such trails may pass. National scenic trails may be located so as to represent desert, marsh, grassland, mountain, canyon, river, forest, and other areas, as well as landforms which exhibit significant characteristics of the physiographic regions of the Nation.
(3) National historic trails, established as provided in section 1244 of this title, which will be extended trails which follow as closely as possible and practicable the original trails or routes of travel of national historical significance. Designation of such trails or routes shall be continuous, but the established or developed trail, and the acquisition thereof, need not be continuous onsite. National historic trails shall have as their purpose the identification and protection of the historic route and its historic remnants and artifacts for public use and enjoyment. Only those selected land and water based components of an historic trail which are on federally owned lands and which meet the national historic trail criteria established in this chapter are included as Federal protection components of a national historic trail. The appropriate Secretary may certify other lands as protected segments of an historic trail upon application from State or local governmental agencies or private interests involved if such segments meet the national historic trail criteria established in this chapter and such criteria supplementary thereto as the appropriate Secretary may prescribe, and are administered by such agencies or interests without expense to the United States.
(4) Connecting or side trails, established as provided in section 1245 of this title, which will provide additional points of public access to national recreation, national scenic or national historic trails or which will provide connections between such trails.
The Secretary of the Interior and the Secretary of Agriculture, in consultation with appropriate governmental agencies and public and private organizations, shall establish a uniform marker for the national trails system.
(b) Extended trails
For purposes of this section, the term "extended trails" means trails or trail segments which total at least one hundred miles in length, except that historic trails of less than one hundred miles may be designated as extended trails. While it is desirable that extended trails be continuous, studies of such trails may conclude that it is feasible to propose one or more trail segments which, in the aggregate, constitute at least one hundred miles in length.

Jefferson Community College officials plan to break ground by April 1 on a residence hall that would be built on 6.55 acres on the Coffeen Street campus.
The Watertown City Council on Monday night approved changing the sites zoning from residence A to residence C, which allows a dormitory-style structure.
The city Planning Board must still approve site plans for the pair of four-story wings containing a total of 64 suites and 290 beds. Jefferson County owns the land where the dorms would be built.
The county still must clarify the ownership of two paper streets, North Kendall Avenue and North Hycliff Drive, before the site plans can be considered.

Would like to know how much you coders would ask to be paid for each of the following scripts:
1. Email web page link to a friend script.
2. User comments script that makes posts per ID. (Basically users comment for each article). Script made with protection from SQL injections, mathematical security questions, protection from spam and has an admin page to approve or disprove comments per article.
3. Contact form with mathematical security question or something similar to captcha and protection from spams.
4. Poll vote script that takes IP addresses so a voter doesn't vote more then twice every 24 or 72 hours.
This is the first time I'm looking for somebody to pay to code me scripts. Someone elaborate on how this works.

YIELD: Makes 4 to 6 servings
- 2 medium red beets, tops trimmed
- 2 medium golden beets, tops trimmed
- 3 blood oranges
- 1 medium navel orange (preferably Cara Cara)
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1/2 small fennel bulb, very thinly sliced crosswise on a mandoline
- 1/4 red onion, very thinly sliced on a mandoline (about 1/3 cup)
- Good-quality extra-virgin olive, pumpkin seed, or walnut oil (for drizzling)
- Coarse sea salt, such as fleur de sel or Maldon sea salt
- freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup loosely packed fresh cilantro and/or chervil leaves
Preheat oven to 400°. Wash beets, leaving some water on skins. Wrap individually in foil; place on a rimmed baking sheet and roast until beets are tender when pierced with a knife, about 1 hour. Let cool.
Meanwhile, using a sharp knife, cut all peel and white pith from all oranges; discard. Working over a medium bowl, cut between membranes of 2 blood oranges to release segments into bowl; squeeze juice from membranes into bowl and discard membranes. Slice remaining blood orange and Cara Cara orange crosswise into thin rounds. Place sliced oranges in bowl with the segments. Add lemon juice and lime juice.
Peel cooled beets. Slice 2 beets crosswise into thin rounds. Cut remaining 2 beets into wedges. Strain citrus juices; reserve. Layer beets and oranges on plates, dividing evenly. Arrange fennel and onion over beets. Spoon reserved citrus juices over, then drizzle salad generously with oil. Season to taste with coarse sea salt and pepper. Let salad stand for 5 minutes to allow flavors to meld. Garnish salad with cilantro leaves.

text: Police and witnesses file reports after a train engine hit a Chevy Blazer at the crossing at 750 North and Carbonville Road on May 26. The train, which was reportedly traveling about 30 mph, hit the passenger front fender and pushed the vehicle from its path. Witnessed reported another car crossed the crossing after the crossing signals started flashing and made it across. Train engineers sound the horn on the train at each crossing, and the engineer of the train involved in the collision reportedly sounded the horn longer than usual after the first car crossed the tracks. The driver was allegedly backing off the tracks when the train hit the vehicle and the driver reportedly didn't see the warning lights, bells, sirens or train. The driver suffered minor injuries and the accident backed up traffic in the area for much of the afternoon.
