Jersey City, NJ (Sports Network) - Matt Kuchar was 5-under par through 13
holes on Friday when play at The Barclays was suspended for the day due to
Kuchar climbed to 10-under for the tournament and was one ahead of clubhouse
leaders Webb Simpson and Gary Woodland. Simpson used a 66 to move to minus-9,
while Woodland fired a 7-under 64 on Friday.
There were a pair of long weather delays on Thursday that pushed the
tournament back. The second round will resume on Saturday, and the tournament
should be back on schedule by the end of the day Saturday.
Keegan Bradley had the round of the day as he fired an 8-under 63 to jump into
a tie for fourth at 7-under-par 135. He was joined there by Rickie Fowler
(64), Adam Scott (66) and U.S. Open champion Justin Rose, who was 4-under
through 14 holes of his second round.
Freddie Jacobson (68), Sergio Garcia (66) and David Lynn (65) are tied for
eighth at minus-6 at Liberty National Golf Club.
Tiger Woods was 1-under par through 13 holes and stood at minus-5 overall when
play was stopped for the day.
Defending champion Nick Watney (70) is part of a group tied for 24th at 4-
under-par 138.

This is a true POS.
Sensor this big with not much Mpix. You would expect stellar ISO performance and excellent dynamic range. However, DXOMark results tell the sensor is about 5-6 years old.
To be fair, high quality fixed zoom lens, something that vast majority of enthusiast would like to see (or anybody who wants a 2nd camera), likely won't come from Olympus or Lumix in the next 5 years.
I guess a good compact is not on any roadmap. Latest update from Sony, RX100 MK3, tells us that even crappier lens is coming (f2.8 in 40mm of thickness). Latest update from Nikon, V3, tells us P8000 is going to get a horrible sensor (ISO rating of ~300 need me f1.4 lens to get some decent light in it).

Comments On Nov 05, 2012:Bought these tires thinking they would be a one time use. After a few trips to the dunes they are still in great shape. They worked very well on my raptor 350 and yfz 450.

Comments On Apr 03, 2012:These tires hook up and turn good. They are a little weak for high hp as I have seen where they have flexxed a little but are holding up good so far. I like how they are wider and float better than other paddles i have ran.

Comments On Feb 18, 2011:Bought a set of these for my banshee. I had been running Gecko's for the last four years. These tires hook up much better but after three rides I've torn three paddles and all the rest show signs of being bent over and will probably tear on the next ride if I left them on. Tire might be ok for a low HP machine.

Aubrey O'Day shows off her funky side with her long waves and a half-hidden fishtail braid.
Styling Tip
Step 1: Combine a walnut-size amount of styling lotion with several drops of shine serum and apply onto damp hair. Blow dry two-inch sections straight with a paddle brush.
Step 2: Spray the lower part of a two-inch section with styling spray and loosely wrap it around a large curling iron. Hold the section in place for a few seconds to set the curl, release and repeat all over while alternating curl direction.
Step 3: Lightly coat your fingers with shine serum and run through hair to break up the sections.
Step 4: Pull a small section of hair underneath into a ponytail using a coated elastic band. Separate into thirds, then create a tight fishtail braid. Spritz with hairspray for all-day hold.

Competition Wrap-Up
Oh, I'm supposed to write here, am I? I probably should do that then.
Despite some minor difficulties, including Zombiebaron opening the PLS without confirming we had prize money, Zombiebaron locking the entries too early, Zombiebaron setting the wrong unlock time for the entries, plus a few last-minute scrambles, a bit of controversy over judges entering, the total absence of e|m|c, and a rather embarrassing incident involving an enormous clam and a bit too much to drink, the PLS went off well.
I say that having absolutely no idea what the other PLS competitions were like, but still.
It looks like, yes, you will get prize money, but you'll need to talk to sannse to collect your prize.
Thank you to all who entered, all who helped out, and also Zombiebaron. – Sir Skullthumper, MD (criticize • writings • SU&W) 00:19 Aug 14, 2008

Did you know as many as 9 million Americans will have their identities stolen each year? That's an estimate from the Federal Trade Commission and it's the reason NC Wesleyan College in Rocky Mount hosted a program Thursday to help you protect yourself.
The North Carolina Department of Justice Deputy Director Caroline Farmer was at the Rocky Mount Campus of NC Wesleyan College Thursday morning to discuss protecting yourself from scams. Farmer recommends contacting the credit bureaus and requesting a "freeze" on your social security number. That will prevent anyone from taking out lines of credit in your name without your permission. She also says phone calls and emails requesting your information should be ignored and unsolicited checks and prizes are often scams aimed at gaining access to your bank accounts. She also cautions thieves are offering fake employment opportunities, and advises you verify any person or business before giving them any personal information.
"I actually verified a job offer that I got and I Googled it and I saw like three pages worth of like people reporting like it was a scam," said Marcus Wright who attended the seminar after he almost got scammed.
"There's so many areas that you need to just stop, breathe and verify. Verify with the original agency that you can independently verify, and that will save people a lot of headache," said Farmer
You can contact the Department of Justice online, in person, or by phone if you have concerns about protecting your identity.
Congress established March as National Criminal Justice Month to promote societal awareness regarding the causes and consequences of crime, as well as strategies for preventing and responding to crime.

I normally fly when I travel from Maine to New York City. But, for ISC East a couple weeks ago, I was late making a reservation and the airfares went throught the roof, so I took the train.
It was actually a bus from Portland to Boston and then a train from Boston to Penn Station. It took a little longer than a flight and transport from the airport into Manhattan would have taken, but not that much longer and overall it was a very comfortable and hassle-free travel experience. You can't help but notice, however, the lack of security on buses and trains—especially when you compare it to air travel.
It's not that I want to have to remove my shoes at Penn Station, but it's noticeable and it's something that we have talked about here in the office.
In this week's newswire, three stories touch on transportation security. First, we have integration firm Minuteman Security getting into product development. Minuteman has developed a new mobile video surveillance and health check monitoring system. It test drove the system at the fifth largest tranportation authority in the country and others are showing interest in the system. Here's a link to the story.
Our monthly "Stats" story delves into a report from TechNavio that projects that the market for mass transit security will reach $5 billion in North America by 2018. Here's a link to that story.
And finally, our monthly Legislative Update, takes a look at SIA's work with FRA, the Federal Railroad Administration, to set requirements for video and audio security technology on passenger and freight trains. Read that story here.
Steve Keefer, western U.S. law enforcement liaison for SIAC, noticed that Carson City, Nevada, is trying something different in the attempt to reduce false alarms—utilizing volunteers through the sheriff's office. This is an approach that is very new to SIAC, Keefer said.
These volunteers are "regular citizens that just want to help out in the community," Keefer told Security Systems News.
The Carson City Sheriff's Office started this approach at least five years ago, but SIAC hadn't heard about it until recently, according to Keefer.
The sheriff's office has two volunteers that speak with false alarms offenders and discuss ways of reducing the problem. Apparently, these efforts, more often than not, are met with full cooperation.
Keefer said that these volunteers in Carson City, Nev., are currently speaking with commercial alarm users, but Keefer believes this process could have a residential application as well.
SIAC is an organization that is always focused on reducing the numbers of false alarms and the strain that puts on local authorities. As such they've been keeping an eye on people that approach this matter from different angles.
"What was unique about Carson City's Sheriff Office- they don't even have an ordinance," he said. Keefer mentioned that this could be a model that SIAC would recommend to other sheriff's offices if SIAC sees this lead to positive results in Carson City.
This certainly seems to be a different way of going about the matter, as opposed to reforming ordinances or imposing fines for false alarms. This shows that the matter is not just one sided, that both citizens and authorities care about reducing false alarms.
Lately it seems that the St. Petersburg Police Department has been looking closely at the matter of security. Two separate items have cropped up in this city just outside of Tampa, Fla. The first is that they are compiling a registry for security cameras in the city.
This initiative, called 'Eagle Eye,' allows for cameras to be registered online through the St. Petersburg Police Department's website. By having a comprehensive list of cameras in the city, the department hopes to gain quick access to clues in investigations. A press release from the department says the registration will be at "no cost and the information is kept confidential."
The second item is that they are looking to raise the fines for false alarms, an issue posted on Nov. 22 on the website of a local paper, The St. Petersburg Tribune. Though, even after seeing a drop in false alarm numbers since the fine's installation in 1995, false alarms are still a problem for the department.
The idea of registry comes up in this matter also. The police department hopes that by eliminating fees for end users in registering alarms, as well as renewing their alarms—more people will register, giving the police a better idea of who to contact in the event of an alarm.
I couldn't resist. I wrote about Honeywell presenting its annual Life Safety award at its Connect2014 event a few weeks ago.
But when I received a photo from Honeywell from the awards ceremony and remembered the moving tribute, I had to repost with some more details to give this amazing kid as well as the outstanding first responders in Palm Bay, Fla., their due.
Six-year-old Romeo Rodriguez, one of the recipients of the award, was instrumental in saving his friend, an 8-year-old girl, Kathy. He found her unconscious at the bottom of a swimming pool during a Memorial Day party. He swam to her, brought her to the surface and yelled for help.
Adults came to his assistance, called 911 and started CPR. A Palm Bay police officer, Amy Revis, was enroute. Upon her arrival, she instructed one of the adults to continue CPR while she applied an AED and followed its advice about how many shocks to give, if at all. Palm Bay Fire/Rescue arrived and took over. The girl started to show signs of life. She was taken by helicopter to a hospital and made a full recovery.
The young survivor was on stage at the Honeywell Connect2014 event to hand out the awards to her rescuers, and she gave a brief speech thanking them for the fact that she was alive. Romeo, who received a personalized fire helmet from the fire department in addition to his medal, showed grace and confidence way beyond his years in front of the audience of hundreds.
The audience, by the way, gave the first responders, the kids and the rescuing civilians a very long standing ovation.
Here's an explanation of the event from TV news personality Larry King, who notes that it shows how a community "came together to save a young girl's life."
Bravo young Romeo, Roger Fox, Jana Watts, Officer Revis, Lt. Brian Gent, Driver Engineer Mike Kurrus and Firefighters Kevin Plunkett and Randy May.
On this Thanksgiving week, I can truly say we here at Security Systems News are thankful for people like you.
This week is the first week in 37 years that Jay Hauhn is not reporting to work at Tyco (or former sister company ADT). Hauhn's last day was on Friday. I had a chance to catch up with Jay last week at ISC East.
Jay said he's looking forward to taking the next 6 to 12 months to "decompress" from the day-to-day corporate world. But he'll stay connected to the security industry in a volunteer capacity: Hauhn serves as president of the Central Station Alarm Association, and he's also looking forward to "re-engaging with SIA [in some volunteer capacity.]"
Jay began his career with a temporary job at ADT as a "key runner," where he literally carried a metal keybox to businesses when there was an alarm. After six months, he moved to an engineering position where he worked on the "very beginnings of computerization of central stations." He later worked in the World Trade Center in New York where did further work with ADT central stations (There were 165 at the time; today there are fewer than five.)
In the course of his career, Hauhn has worked on the systems integration side of the business, has been responsible for products, and has worked as CTO.
Asked about the most important technological change he witnessed in his career? The digital dialer, he said. "The digital dailer created the residential businesses' ability to cost effectively protect homes. That was a paradigm shift," he said. Many security companies are about 70 percent residential, he noted. "[The digital dailer] led to the growth in this industry."
More recently, an important technological advancement has been managed services and in particular hosted access. Where previously a security company that did card access and video "was lucky to get a maintenance contract," hosted access changed that.
"Steve Van Till [Brivo CEO] did this," Hauhn said. "He showed this industry how to sell card access and get RMR out of every sale."
The industry is not there yet with hosted video, he said.
Hauhn said he's a huge believer that workable video analytics will be the key to hosted video.
"That's where managed video is going to finally get traction," he said. Then, only important snippets of video will be sent to the cloud.
Then that video data will be mined. "It will be more about business operation improvement as opposed to security. That's where the ROI [for end users] would be—in improved business metrics."
I asked him about the most fun stuff he's done working in the security industry.
Hauhn spent some time in the late 80s and early 90s working for ADT's federal group. "I got to design security systems for some places that don't exist," he said. "I'm still not allowed to talk about those, but to go to those federal DoD locations and know the importance of those places, and I got to design the security systems to protect them. That was neat," he said.
Hauhn also really liked some work he did with the Navy SEALS. He declined to elaborate beyond: "I got to play with some of their toys—boats and vehicles. That was fun."
Hauhn said he may do some consulting after a year or so, but he also may decide not to.
"Tyco and ADT have been very good to me," he said. "I know it sounds corny, but I've really met some fantastic people in this industry," he said. "There's a lot of cameraderie and people care about what they do—protecting assets and property."
ISC East kicks off this morning here on a beautifully sunny morning in New York City.
Conference sponsor SIA said it expects to "see increased attendance at this year's event."
SIA introduced a mobile app (sponsored by Genetec) for this year's event that's free to download at www.isceastmobile.com The app has a list of exhibitors and their locations, the educational schedule and other planning features.
In addition to the show floor exhibits and educational sessions, the annual SIA Honors Night will take place tonight at Chelsea Piers. Honeywell's Gordon Hope will receive the George R. Lippert Memorial Award at that event.
Check back here for reports about this year's show.
Dice released a selection of new products at its most recent annual users group conference, held Nov. 4-6 in Mount Pleasant, Mich., where 30 percent of its client base was present. Approximately 95 percent of those attendees were from North America, according to Carol Enman, senior VP of strategic business development and communications for Dice.
"One of the things we spent a good deal of time talking about was the difference between apps and applications and what they provided the customer," Enman told Security Systems News. She described the root difference between the two as apps being for phones while applications are web-based.
Enman listed numerous examples of new products, including a system for mobile sales management, designed to allow managers oversee their sales people; a new data entry system that leads users step-by-step through information entry; a scheduling app allowing for customers to be quickly scheduled for service or installation; and a fire inspection app allowing service technicians to inspect fire systems on sites and fill out required forms.
One of the precipitating factors to this lineup of releases was "that the company's design and development staff has increased," according to a prepared statement. Enman estimated an overall growth in the company of at least 30 percent across all departments in the past year and a half.
The main idea behind these products appears to be creating efficiency for monitoring companies. "We have customers with hundreds of thousands of subscribers operating companies with less people in them then some small alarm companies with a few thousand accounts have" Cliff Dice, CEO, said in a prepared statement.
ORLANDO, Fla.—"The Big Picture" was the focus of Honeywell's annual event for authorized dealers, Connect2014.
The conference, held here, started Nov. 13, but the glitzy kickoff was on Friday morning with a general session that was quite a production, featuring a live orchestra, big screens, top execs, award winners and more.
Marek Robinson, president of the First Alert Professional and CSS Authorized Dealer programs, told the audience that "The Big Picture" means taking a step back and looking at everything that's going on in the world and the industry. "How does it impact the industry? What are your resources to deal with it?" Those are the questions dealers should be asking, he said.
People are spending from three to five hours a day on their devices, said Ron Rothman, president of Honeywell Security, and they're inundated with technology. Honeywell and others have been waiting for this trend for a long time, but that also means a slew of new entrants are going after a piece of Honeywell's pie—31 new start-ups just in October, he said. However, the power of the Honeywell brand and the upcoming investments the company will make in technology, marketing and advertising will prevail, he said.
Alex Ismail, Honeywell Automation and Control Systems president and CEO, said Honeywell aspires to be the Apple of industrial companies when it comes to customer satisfaction and loyalty. A five-star customer experience was a recurring theme throughout the two-hour session. (More on that later.)
Inder Reddy, president of Honeywell Security Products Americas, reminded dealers that while they need to adapt to the new environment they also need to stay grounded in the fact that they are protecting families, homes and businesses. "Security is still central to the Connected Home and Connected Building," he said.
Authorized dealer tenure awards were presented, and the general session wrapped up with a moving tribute to the folks who helped saved a little girl's life—they received the Life Safety award. A 6-year-old boy, a nurse, a Palm Bay, Fla., police officer and the Palm Bay Fire Department all played a crucial role in resuscitating an 8-year-old girl who was found unconscious at the bottom of a swimming pool. She was on stage to present the awards to her heroes.
The second general session of the day featured a boisterous Rudy Wolter, director of the North America Region of Citigroup Security and Investigative Services and a key player in Honeywell's End Users Group. A "five-star" experience for end users is "partnership, not perfection," he said. (More on this later, too.)
Raymond Dean, former president and founder of PEI and now senior vice president at MSA Systems Integration, spoke on treating customers as a company's best assets.
"Take care of the customer and they'll take care of you," Dean said.
Visit customers regularly when there are no problems and they won't associate you with negative connotations; don't send new hires out to a homeowner without a formal introduction from someone they know; show respect, he said.
"Growth makes us complacent, the roots of our success get forgotten," Dean said. Customers made you a success, don't drift away from customer service, he added.
Keynoter Jeffrey Gitomer, a best-selling author and sales and customer service professional, gave a humorous and insightful talk to the appreciative crowd. He discussed the need to be adept at social media to boost company reputations and branding, because "the old way of selling doesn't work anymore. Social media has changed the way you sell and serve forever." (More on this later, too!)
I also attended three breakout sessions, the first of which was "Communication Strategies—2G, 3G, 4G and Beyond," Dan Jarnigan of Guardian Systems, Dave Hood of EPS and Alan Buffaloe of Gill Security discussed their approaches to customer upgrades.
Next was a discussion on the Connected Home with Jeremy Bates of Bates Security, Larry Comeaux of Acadiana Security Plus and Rence Coassin of American Total Protection. The panel discussed tailoring "connectedness" to meet customers' needs, while reminding customers that security comes first.
Honeywell's Jan McBride presented "The next BIG THING: Emerging Technologies." It's not just wearable devices, she said, showcasing a number of other products—"not sure if they're creepy or cool"— that could impact the industry. Those include Bluetooth-enabled gloves; smart appliances that can text you when, for example, your clothes are finished in the dryer and refrigerators that can track your eating habits; smart doorbells that allow you to "answer the door" via cellphone even when you're not home; and home robots that can not only read to your children, but can remind you of appointments and take photos of your events so you can be in the pictures.
Eye-tracking technology, gesture recognition (to pull down window blinds, for example) are all here now, McBride said. "These trends will be a driving force in terms of home automation. The impact on our business is whether these things are of real value or are these applications a passing fad?"
On the final day of Connect 2014, Steve Means, district sales manager for Honeywell in Texas, encouraged dealers to leverage Honeywell's services to grow their businesses. "Connected solutions are what your customers want, and it will be good for your business," he said during the morning's general session. From detecting mold to being notified when kids get home from school, along with myriad other applications, it's the way to go, he said.
Russ Ackerman, district sales director for Vector Security, said his company's RMR will be up 20 percent this year because of Connected Home. He doesn't care about competition. "I don't care what Comcast and AT&T are doing. Competition is for crybabies, sissies and whiners. I don't want to compete. I want to dominate." Connected Home will "help get us there," he said.
New selling techniques are required. Where before Vector would use with its customers a "security evaluation questionnaire," now it uses a "lifestyle analysis," Ackerman said. Vector gives prospective customers a test drive of its products rather than "glossy pictures" of those products. It shares a two-way voice demo during the sales presentation.
"We're closing 83 percent of presentations on the first call," he said.
Other speakers during the general session drilled down on Connected Building for the commercial sector.
I attended two educational sessions later in the day, one on "Building Your Brand," the other "Creating a Culture People Love."
John Schwartz, marketing director for ADS, discussed a number of branding myths—for example, that branding is complicated, expensive and had to be done solely by marketing professionals; advertising vs. branding—advertising is pushing the message out, branding is solidifying that message; and social media's power, both pro and con—"if someone is mad at you, they can go on every social media outlet and let everyone know."
Sales people should be involved in branding, with input from customers, Schwartz said. Companies should pick one word they want to be associated with, such as "trust," and take it from there, he said. Facebook can be used for "sideways selling:" let people know how your company helps the homeless or conducts other community service projects, he said.
At my final Connect2014 educational session, LOUD Security's John Loud explained how his company, with 57 employees, has built its culture to be engaging and fun. It all starts with company leadership, he said. Events for employees, teamwork and recognition all matter, he said. (Read more about this later, too!)
Complete with a '70s Fever Costume Party and the Awards Gala, Connect2014 put on a big event in keeping with its "Big Picture" theme.
In every industry, and security is certainly no exception, everyone needs something to make them stand out from the crowd. One company in particular I've noticed as making that effort is Dynamark Security Centers, located in Hagerstown, Md., with their Partner Program. Today, Dynamark launched a new website for their Partner Program, providing an online portal specifically for their dealers and those interested in the program and stressing the difference between opening a partnership and participating in a dealer program.
"Dynamark does not limit the growth potential of our partners; and we like to place emphasis on the word partner. We do not compete with our partners. We can only succeed if we have a long-term relationship with our partners, so we believe in transparency and choices," said Hank Groff, senior VP of sales & business development for Dynamark, in a prepared statement.
"This website will help Dynamark better communicate with both current partners and dealers who are looking to know more about Dynamark," said Tom Piston, VP of business development, in a prepared statement.
This is a program open to independent alarm dealers across the country, but it appears to be a program trying to offer something different and unique to the people Dynamark works with, having a concern for their individual growth as independent companies.
MADISON, N.J—Question: Who is most willing to spend money on smart home technology?
Answer: The Millennials, those consumers born between 1982 and 2000. That's according to a recent survey conducted by ERA Real Estate and HGTV.
Overall, 2,437 consumers participated in the survey this past August.
Forty-six percent of the respondents said they believe it is important that their current home or the next home they buy be equipped with smart home technology; 51 percent said they would consider installing such technology to make their house have a higher resale value.
Millennials were 10 times more likely than Gen Xers, those born after post-WWII Baby Boomers, to make the smart home investment, the survey showed.
"While still a growing trend, smart home enhancements have the potential to increase savings, safety and resale value," Charlie Young, president and CEO of ERA Real Estate, said in a prepared statement. "As we have seen through this survey and (through) our one-on-one interactions with buyers and sellers, a smart home is one that is well-positioned for the future and aligns with a growing reliance on mobile technology."
Mobile technology and control are rising to the top, particularly with Millennials, the survey found. Seven in 10 Millennials believe it is important that smart home technology integrates with their smartphones.
Five in 10 survey respondents reported having a security system in their current home. Demonstrating consumers' practical preferences, the most commonly found technologies were those that could help homeowners save money, including automated climate control, energy management, remote home monitoring and lighting control systems, the survey said.

ATLANTA -- On a cold February afternoon, about an hour from kickoff of the Super Bowl, 11Alive reporter Jeff Hullinger went for a walk with his son along a busy street in Midtown.
As they crossed the street, they noticed a book being run over by cars and trucks.
The book was a 1949 yearbook from North Fulton High School in Buckhead. The 64-year-old treasure was wet from the rain. It belonged to a popular senior named Jack Johnson. Many classmates had signed his book labeling him "swell" and a "great guy."
Jack was a running back on the football team. According to the yearbook, he was an athlete and an excellent student.
So, Hullinger spent Monday afternoon trying to find Jack.
The good news, Jack Johnson now lives on Peachtree Street. He invited Jeff over to deliver the yearbook before dinner.
The young man, now 83, had been missing his yearbook since last fall.
Jack has led a full life since graduating from North Fulton in 1949. He attended Georgia Tech and graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis. He worked with famed Atlanta architect John Portman.
What was the book doing on North Highland in Morningside?
Jack doesn't know. He moved from Buckhead in October to Peachtree Street. He has never lived near where the book was found.
He is glad to have a part of his Atlanta history back home.

After the incident with the Team Aqua agent and with Peeko safely returned to Mr. Briney, Ash and co set sail for Dewford Island. All is not calm on the way there however as a school of Sharpedo suddenly attack Mr. Briney's boat. Not to mention tear up a part of May's new swimsuit. Now how will Ash and co. get to Dewford with all the Sharpedo in the way? Is this going to be like "Jaws" all over again?
The boat goes to Dewford Island, with the sea being quite beautiful. Ash's going to have his 2nd Gym battle. May brings her Torchic and Wurple, Ash his Taillow and Treecko and Brock his Forretress and Lotad as well. Team Rocket is going to follow them in a Magikarp-like-submarine, too.
The Pokemon are having fun, so May proposes to go swimming. Ash is against the idea, but seeing his Pikachu asleep and with Max's advice, he agrees to do it. The boat turns to the island where they'll have a time off. However, something is moving towards them. Brock asks which island it is, but Briney replies that the island has no name. May runs off in her swimsuit that she bought in Rustboro City.
Max goes into the water as well. Brock asks who's going to get into the water, to which all agree, except Torchic. May and Max are in trouble, since a school of Sharpedos attack them. Max and May grab Peeko to go away, with Ash's Taillow attacking them. A Sharpedo attacks Max, roughing him. May and Max came to the deck of the ship, but the Sharpedos have damaged May and Max's swimsuits. The Sharpedo attack Briney's boat, making everyone losing their balance.
The gang (that night) is having dinner, eating Brock's food. Briney explaines that some Sharpedos are acting as lookouts for the incoming battles. Brock and Briney also explain that the fact Sharpedos are organized is quite odd, considering Sharpedos act independently. Ash thinks they should be battled, but Max reminds him that they only got 8 Pokemon. Brock thinks that the largest one should be battled, as it acts as their leader. Team Rocket arrived near the island, but soon find out they are attacked by Sharpedos. Jessie brings her Seviper and it uses Poison Tail, damaging a Sharpedo. However, Sharpedos use Quick Attack to blast Team Rocket away.
The gang formed a plan - Taillow and Peeko pull Ash and Pikachu on a can, tauting the Sharpedos. When the Sharpedos go away (except a lone one), the others pull the rope, bringing a wodden fence. However, the Sharpedo attacks the fence, making May fall into the water. Sharpedo charges towards May, but Brock brings Lotad, stopping the attack and May returns to the coast. Ash comes to the coast as well. Lotad uses Water Gun, although Sharpedo bit him before.
Suprisingly, the Sharpedo falls. Max suspects that it might have battled before from Tentacruel, as Brock suspects it is poisoned. Brock gives Sharpedo some food and everyone goes to sleep. In the morining, the Sharpedo awakes, becoming angry, but seeing Brock asleep onto him, he becomes less angry and sleeps again. The fence breaks itself from the Magikarp submarine and webs take Ash's Pikachu and Sharpedo. Brock explaines to Team Rocket that Sharpedo's been poisoned to which Jessie says that the Poison Tail from Seviper "worked just fine". Lotad snuck upon the submarine and uses Razor Leaf to free the Pokemon.
Pikachu is about to use Thunder, but Ash cancelles the attack, since the school of Sharpedos are behind the submarine, using the Quick Attack to blast them off. The Sharpedos arrive to Brock, thanking him. The gang arrives to Dewford City on the Island and they wave goodbye to Briney and Sharpedos.
- "Hey, I think I have spotted the twirps down there, on the island." - Jessie
- "Good eyesight, Jessie." - James
- "Incredible." - Meowth
- "20-20 vision." - Jessie
- "So how come you didn't see the Sharpedos coming!?" - James

Smart Technologies Create a Serene Environment
An AMX control system gives a contempo home plenty of high-tech frills, without making it complicated.
"Our goal from the beginning was to have a house that would celebrate the outdoors and be purposeful in its design," says our featured Chicagoland homeowner of her family's three-year-long homebuilding journey. As a result, this ultra-contemporary giant blends in with its wooded surroundings, evokes a relaxing, serene environment, and showcases the use of natural materials like stone and wood. Perhaps best of all, the home functions efficiently by patterning itself effortlessly to the family's schedules and routines.
However, this contemporary design presented a huge departure of style—both for a family that previously lived in quaint, traditional homes and for the surrounding community of historic homes.
Breaking Tradition
"We're lucky because both my husband and I have always been huge fans of contemporary architecture, so we were in total agreement of breaking the stereotype of the community—and that we were able to build our house in a wooded area far back from the road so it didn't stick out like a sore thumb," the homeowner says.
Not that they'll ever regret their choice to buck conformity. They're proud of their home's ability to evoke a tranquil setting and use intelligent technologies to maintain that peaceful state. "We spent an entire year going over plans for our house with our architect," relates the homeowner. "They asked us how we liked to open the doors—with a handle on the left or right—how we brush our teeth, where we like to store silverware …"
It was a seemingly endless list of questions that would ultimately help them design every aspect of this house to be as efficient and useful as possible.
Deemphasizing the Devices
Part of that process involved meetings with a custom electronics (CE) professional. As the blueprints for the 16,700-square-foot house were being drawn up, Chicago-based architectural firm Wheeler Kearns Architects suggested that the family consider integrating a control system into their residence that would "allow us to live in the house
like we wanted to live in it," says the homeowner
After visiting the downtown Chicago showroom of Integrisys, the family also learned that remarkably, the technology could dramatically minimize the appearance of common everyday electronic devices like light switches, thermostats and TV screens. Given the solid walnut paneling, concrete, stone and glass that would comprise almost all of the wall space, these pieces of technology would have had a hard time fi tting into the aesthetic. The owners were more than happy to clear them away from the walls in favor of much more practical, modern and low-profi le devices.
Four AMX touchpanels, which are part of a complete, custom-programmed, microprocessor-driven AMX home control system, are used to operate 112 loads of lights, a whole-house audio and video system, 22 zones of heating and cooling, plus 65 motorized window shades and drapes. The screens of the touchpanels, most of which are portable, display a menu based on Integrisys' proprietary LivSystem software that effectively categorizes the controls of the house by system, room and the family's schedule.
Serenity by Technology
What about music for this serene environment? The AMX system has that covered, too. Audio components, which are stashed in a specially designed equipment closet, are connected to a centralized AMX AutoPatch switcher that sends the tunes to Sonance speakers in 16 different audio zones. Via the LivSystem menu, the owners enter their music selections for any iPod that's plugged into one of two iPort docking stations, AM/FM radio, and satellite radio. Speakers from Sonance are installed discretely into the walls and ceilings to maintain a clean aesthetic.
Another piece of technology that goes undetected in this ultra-high-tech residence is the video equipment. Several Panasonic and Sony flat-panel TVs are tucked away inside cabinetry, each lifting into view via a motorized assembly at the touch of a button. While it's a more costly and laborious solution than simply mounting a screen to the wall, it was a preferred option to keep the walls of natural stone, concrete and walnut unadorned. Covering them with screens would have undermined the aesthetic, says Wolfram.
Modes of Control
One very important screen that's fixed to the walls is a 7-inch AMX touchpanel in the vestibule. It's the first thing the owners touch when they enter the house and the last as they exit. On it, Integrisys created a page of commands via its proprietary LivSystem software, which divides the functions of the house into "modes." There's an away mode that closes the shades and turns off the lights and A/V for the family's departure, plus a typical evening mode that sets the lights and audio system for a night at home. Other LivModes are room-specific. In the master bedroom, wakeup activates automatically based on a schedule set by the homeowners to open the window shades, brighten the lights, turn the TV to the local news and kick on the radiant floor heating system in the connected bathroom. These and other modes can be accessed on any of the portable AMX touchpanels peppered throughout the house, or from a menu on an iPad.
"The LivModes do a good job of making an otherwise very complicated system easy to operate and intuitive," say the homeowners. Nowhere is that more evident than in the operation of the home's commercialgrade heating and cooling system. There are 22 independent heating and cooling zones in this house—meaning there are 22 thermostats—which, thanks to the AMX system, the owners never have to touch. In fact, they don't even need to look at them. Instead, they peer at the screen of an AMX touchpanel to monitor the temperature of each space and make adjustments if necessary. Extensive zoning like this enables the owners to set back the temperature of unused areas of the house—like the bedrooms during the day—to conserve energy. Even if they forget to adjust the thermostats, the AMX system is there as backup. Based on the family's interaction with the LivSystem control menu, the AMX system can tell which rooms are occupied. For those that aren't, it signals the HVAC system to turn down the heat in the winter or the AC in the summer.

Tanzania national women soccer team, the Twiga Stars have secured another friendly tie against their South African counterparts to be played at the National Stadium in Dar es Salaam on Sunday.
The trial match has come at the right time for the right purpose as the Stars are gearing up for the crucial African Women Championship qualifier first leg tie against Ethiopia to be played in Addis Ababa six days later.
The women team re-opened a camp at their Ruvu JKT base after weeks of trial matches upcountry which was broken by a pause when they played visiting Zimbabwe side last week.
The South African team popularly known as Banyana Banyana is also gearing up for a crucial qualifier tie against Zambia with the first leg to be played in Lusaka on May 26.
The friendly against South African is the second in a week after the team crumbled to Zimbabwe by 4-1 goals.
Stars coach Charles Boniface Mkwasa has recalled veteran Esther Chabruma to join the team ahead of the weekend tie against the South African team.
Meanwhile, the Confederation of African Football (CAF) has appointed officials from Rwanda to be in charge of the Stars match against Ethiopia in Addis Ababa.
The officials are Angelique Tuyishime who will be the central referee and will be assisted by Sandrine Murangwa, Speciose Nyinawabari and Salma Mukansanga. Match commissioner is Ugandan Catherine Adipo.
The return leg match will be played in Dar es Salaam and the winner would cruise into the AWC berth to be staged in Equatorial Guinea.
Stars are eagerly in need to win their second appearance in the AWC after taking part in their maiden show when South African hosted the tourney in 2010.
While the team enjoyed a bye to compete in South Africa, this time it has to go through torrid qualifiers to realize the berth.

Michigan State is actively recruiting several quality defensive end prospects for the class of 2013. Last weekend they hosted several of them on campus, including Grand Blanc product Luke MacLean. SpartanMag.com spoke with the 6-foot-3, 235-pound prospect and got the details on his recruitment. MacLean is considered one of the top recruits in Michigan for the class of 2013. He possesses an excellent combination of speed and strength and already has multiple scholarships. The Cincinnati Bearcats offered MacLean just the other week and he also holds a scholarship from the University of Buffalo.MacLean has been in East Lansing several times and he was there this past weekend for the Spartan Junior Day. We asked him how the visit went."The visit to Michigan State went great, MacLean said. I was able to spend a lot of time with Coach Narduzzi and he told me that he wants me to come back up sometime soon when Coach Dantonio is there."Did Coach Narduzzi indicate if you might receive a scholarship or talk about what they like about you? "We did not talk about a scholarship offer, MacLean said. "Coach Narduzzi said that he likes my speed off the edge and they want me as a defensive end."The ability to get pressure off the edge was a huge factor in Michigan State's overall success in 2011. The combination of William Gholston and Marcus Rush was often too much for many teams to handle. Coach Narduzzi wants to continue to dictate what offenses have to do by bringing in players that can get to the quarterback in a hurry. This past fall MacLean had a strong season for Grand Blanc High School. His play was one of the reasons the Bobcats finished the season 9-3. Grand Blanc had two big playoff wins over Holt and Midland, only to drop a tough game to powerhouse Rockford by a score of 30-28. MacLean is hoping he can help lead his team even further in 2012.In addition to Michigan State, MacLean is hearing from numerous other BCS programs. He talked about the school showing him the most interest at this point in his recruitment.I am visiting Georgia Tech in two weeks, Maclean said. I feel pretty confident that I could get an offer when I am down there. I speak with coaches regularly from schools like Michigan, Indiana and Iowa. I also have had contact with Oregon, Florida State, Boston College, Purdue and Syracuse.Having been to Michigan State multiple times, MacLean is starting to develop a very good rapport with the coaches at Michigan State. SpartanMag.com asked MacLean where the Spartans would stand if they do come through with a scholarship offer and what has stood out to him about the program."I really like how it feels so much like home to me," he said. "Things just feel very right at Michigan State. If they were to offer me a scholarship it would be a great opportunity and something I would seriously consider."Under Mark Dantonio the Spartans have had very little attrition. The players he has been bringing in not only have been very productive as evidenced by the teams' success, but they have also stayed at the school and completed their degree. That is a main reason why once again in 2013 the Spartans are not expected to sign a big recruiting class. Based on our early calculations, it looks like 16-18 scholarships will once again be the number.SpartanMag.com will continue to follow MacLean's recruitment in the coming weeks. It is obvious that the staff has him on the short list of potential offers at defensive end. You can be sure if he is not committed come June, Coach Narduzzi and Coach Ted Gill will want MacLean working out at the Spartan Elite Player Camp. MacLean has an impressive set of athletic skills and the staff would certainly like to work with him one on one. ...More... To continue reading this article you must be a member. Sign Up Now!

Glacial landforms

Glaciers are very effective agents in sculpting a landscape. Glaciers have mainly played a role in the modifying landscapes in the middle and high latitudes and in alpine environments. Their ability to erode soil and rock, transport sediment, and deposit sediment is extraordinary. During the last glacial period (20,000 year ago) more than 50 million square kilometers (19 million square miles) of land surface were influenced by the presence of glaciers.
Glacial Landforms Caused by Erosion
Two major erosional processes occur at the base of a glacier. First, at the base of a glacier, large amounts of loose rock and sediment are incorporated into the moving glacial ice by partial melting and refreezing. The second process of erosion involves the abrasive action of the held rock and sediment held by the ice on the surface underneath the glacier. This abrasive process is known as scouring. Scouring creates a variety of features. The most conspicuous feature of scouring is striations (Figure 1). Striations appear as scratches of various size on rock surfaces. In some cases, abrasion can polish the surface of some rock types smooth. This geomorphic feature is known as glacial polish. The abrasive action of scouring also produces a fine clay-sized sediment that is often transported away from the glacier by meltwater. As a result of this process, glacial meltwater can have a light, cloudy appearance, and is called glacial milk.
Figure 1: Glacial striations, Lac Blanchet, Canada. Rock debris and sand found at the base of a moving glacier act like sandpaper on the bedrock surfaces. Source: Natural Resources Canada - Terrain Sciences Division - Canadian Landscapes.
The second major erosional process that occurs at the base of a glacier is plucking. Plucking is the process of particle detachment by moving glacial ice. In this process, basal ice freezes in rock surface cracks. As the main body of the glacial ice moves material around the ice in the cracks is pulled and plucked out. The intensity of the plucking process is greatest on the lee-side of rock mounds. When combined with glacial abrasion, the action of plucking on rock mounds produces a unique asymmetrical feature known as roche moutonnee. Roche moutonnee are smooth on the side of ice advancement and steep and jagged on the opposite side.
Glaciers generally flow over the land surface along a path of least resistance. The flow of an alpine glacier into a valley, causes the glacier to advance rapidly, producing a swollen tongue of ice at the glacier's snout, known as a lobe. As the lobe moves down the valley it often encounters the lobes of other glaciers from connecting valleys. The glacier grows in size with addition of the flow of connected sub-valleys. The following image illustrates one of these networks of connected alpine glaciers (Figure 2).
Figure 2: Merging alpine glaciers viewed from space, Heiltskuk Icefield in British Columbia, Canada. (Image Source: NASA, Earth Observatory).
A number of distinct erosional features can be observed in mountainous regions that have experienced the effects of glaciation (Figure 3). Much of this erosion is exerted on the bottoms and sides of alpine valleys that guide the flow of glaciers. This erosion causes the bottom and the sides of any glaciated valley to become both wider and deeper over time. Glacial erosion also results in a change in the valley's cross-sectional shape. Glacial valleys tend to have a pronounced U-shape that contrasts sharply with V-shape valleys created by stream erosion (Figure 4). Small adjoining feeder valleys entering a large valley in a glaciated mountainous region tend to have their floors elevated some distance above the level of the main valley's floor. Geomorphologist call this landform a hanging valley. Hanging valleys develop because of two reasons: 1) larger, more massive glaciers create greater erosion and subsequently a deeper valley, and 2) some valleys have seen more glacier ice pass through them which also results in more erosion and a deeper valley. Many hanging valleys are also the sites of sensational waterfalls.

Figure 4: U-shaped valley carved by a glacial erosion, Little Cottonwood Canyon, Wasatch Mountains, Utah. (Image Source: Wikipedia).
Some of the other features associated with glacier erosion in alpine regions are cirques, horns, and arêtes (Figure 3). Cirques are the bowl shaped depressions found at the head of glacial valleys (Figure 5). For most alpine glaciers, cirques are the areas in the alpine valleys where snow first accumulated and was modified into glacial ice. The glaciers that occupy cirques are called cirque glaciers. Horns are pyramidal peaks that form when several cirques chisel a mountain from three or more sides. The most famous horn is the Matterhorn found in the Swiss Alps (Figure 6). Arêtes are the narrow serrated ridges found in glaciated alpine areas (Figure 7). Arêtes form when two opposing cirques back erode a mountain ridge.

Figure 7: Arête in the mountains located just north of Windermere, United Kingdom. (Image Source: Wikimedia Commons, Photographer Gary Rogers. This image is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 2.0 Generic license.).
Talus and other foot-slope deposits are also common in a glaciated valley. Because of the enhancement of freeze-thaw processes bedrock in alpine areas is weathered by the growth of ice crystals. This type of weathering shatters the bedrock into sharp angular fragments that accumulate at the bottom of rock slopes as talus. Much of the debris carried by an alpine glacier comes from valley sides where talus accumulates.
The erosional landforms produced by continental glaciers are usually less obvious than those created by alpine glaciers. Like alpine glaciers, the movement of continental glaciers followed topographic trends found in the landscape. Continental ice sheets were very thick, between 1000 to 3000 meters (3000 to 9000 ft.). The mass of these glaciers covered all but the highest features and had extremely strong erosive power. Much of the Canadian Shield shows the effects of abrasion and gouging which created glacial polish and striations on bedrock surfaces. In some areas, continental ice sheets produced huge U-shaped valleys from previously V-shaped stream valleys. In other areas, erosion by the continental ice sheets scooped out large shallow basins, many of which exist today as lakes. Many of the lakes on the Canadian Shield, including those of the Great Lakes, were created by glacial erosion.
Glacial Landforms Caused by Deposition
A large part of the surface of a glacier is covered with a coating of sediment and rock debris. This is especially prevalent near the snout of the glacier, where most of the ice has been lost to ablation and sediment is left behind. Sediment is added to glacial ice in two ways. Large quantities of sediment are picked up by abrasion and plucking at the base of the ice. In alpine areas, sediment is added to the surface of the glacier from the valley walls through various types of mass movement. Much of the debris that is added to the ice of the glacier is eventually delivered to the snout because of the continual forward flow of glacial ice. From the snout this material can be placed directly from the ice or it can be deposited through the action of flowing meltwater. Geomorphologists call the later deposits glaciofluvial deposits. The technical term used to describe material deposited by the ice is called till or moraine. All glacial deposits are by and large known as glacial drift.
Till is a heterogeneous combination of unstratified sediments ranging in size from large boulders to minute particles of clay. When till is deposited along the edge of a glacier it tends to form irregular hills and mounds known as moraines. A terminal moraine is a deposit that mark, the farthest advance of a glacier. Moraine deposits created during halts in the retreat of the glacier are called recessional moraines. The debris that falls from valley side slopes can be concentrated in a narrow belt and cause a deposit known as a lateral moraine (Figure 8). When two glaciers flow together, two lateral moraines can merge to form an interior belt of debris, called a medial moraine (Figure 9). A till plain is a large, relatively flat plain of till that forms when a sheet of ice becomes detached from the main body of the glacier and melts in place. Sometimes the sediments in a till plain can contain large boulders. If these boulders are transported a great distance from their place of origin, they are called erratics (Figure 10).

Glaciofluvial deposits are generally quite stratified and less sorted in terms of particle size. Outwash deposits are formed when sand is eroded, transported, and deposited by meltwater streams from the glacier's snout and nearby till deposits to areas in front of the glacier. Outwash plain develops when there are a great number of meltwater streams depositing material ahead of the glacier (Figures 11 and 12).

Figure 12: Braided river flowing over extensive outwash plain, Kenai National Wildlife Refuge, Alaska, USA. Source: U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service/Steve Hillebrand.
Glaciofluvial deposits are also associated with the melting of stagnant ice at the front of the glacier. Where sediment rich water flows into a crevasse or depression in the ice, a conical-shaped pile of sand and gravel, known as a kame, can form (Figure 13). Many kames are often found on or at the edge of moraines.
Figure 13: Kame, La Bluff, Ile de la Grande Entree, Canada. This kame was deposited during the main stage of the last glaciation when the Laurentide ice sheet filled the Gulf of St. Lawrence. (Image Source: Natural Resources Canada - Terrain Sciences Division - Canadian Landscapes).
Glaciers can also contain sinuous flows of meltwater that occur in ice tunnels at the base of the ice. The beds of these sub-surface glacial streams are composed of layers of sand and gravel. When the ice melts from around the meltwater tunnels, the beds of sand and gravel are deposited on the Earth's surface as long twisting ridges known as eskers (Figure 14).
Figure 14: Esker near Lac du Sauvage, Northwest Territories. The slightly curving thin ridge in the centers of this photo is the esker. The flat region in the foreground to the left of the esker was formed by glacial outwash. Source: Natural Resources Canada - Terrain Sciences Division - Canadian Landscapes.
Another feature of continental glaciation are hill shaped deposits of till known as drumlins (Figure 15). Drumlins often occur in large numbers across areas of New York and Wisconsin, USA and Ontario, Canada. The streamline shape of these glacial features resembles a extended teaspoon laying bowl down. The gently sloping tapered end of the drumlin points in the general direction the glacier traveled. Drumlins also come in a variety of dimensions. Lengths can range from 100 to 5000 meters and heights can sometimes exceed 200 meters. A couple theories exist to explain their formation. The most excepted theory suggests they form when saturated ground sediments oozes up into hollows at the base of an advancing glacier. The sediment is then stretched out and molded into a streamline form as the ice moves forward.
Figure 15: Drumlin field in northwestern Manitoba. These features are made of till and are formed at the base of a glacial ice sheet. The long axis of this feature aligns with the direction of glacial movement. Source: Natural Resources Canada - Terrain Sciences Division - Canadian Landscapes.
When glaciers are rapidly retreating, numerous blocks of ice can become detached from the main body of the glacier. If glacial drift is then placed around the ice, a depression on the surface called a kettle hole can be created when the ice melts . Kettle holes are commonly found on moraine and outwash plain deposits. Large kettle holes that reach below the water table can form into lakes. The photograph below shows some kettle lakes in glaciofluvial outwash complex located in the Northwestern District of Mackenzie, Northwest Territories (Figure 16). Some kettle holes develop into wetlands such as bogs, swamps, and marshes.

I am happy with the product but like my textile river road jacket better for comfort. The reason I say this is that the way the collar is made on this jacket from Milwaukee makes it push up into your chin when you sit down on a cruiser. I don't think this would be troublesome if you were hunched over on a crotch rocket but it bothers me a lot. The looks are great even though the picture is more distressed than the jacket that I and reviewers on other sites have received. I've ridden in it in cold and hot weather and like the peace of mind in knowing it would prevent skin rash way better than my textile jacket in the event anything goes wrong.Read All Reviews
