2015 Motorcycle Helmets
Posted by Canstar Blue September 26th 2016
A helmet is the first line of defense when the worst happens, so check out our articles on motorcycle helmets to keep informed of any new innovations and tips in this area.
* Overall satisfaction is an individual rating and not a combined total of all ratings. Brands with equal overall satisfaction ratings are listed in alphabetical order.
Canstar Blue research finalised in July 2015, published in August 2015.
Nolan helmets are a snug fit for our customer satisfaction award
Helmets are easily the most vital piece of protective gear for when you jump on your motorcycle. Whether you're cruising down the road to your local shops or tearing up a racetrack on your top-of-the-line superbike, a quality helmet is always a mainstay. Helmets protect your head and face in the event of an accident, as well as insulating you from the elements when you're out riding.
You should always opt for a new helmet rather than a pre-owned one to make sure you're getting the highest quality protection, but the market for new helmets consists of a lot of different products. When you're comparing characteristics like durability, price, comfort and more, how can you be sure which brand is the best?
At Canstar Blue, we've researched the opinions of motorcycle owners around Australia to get the facts about which brands Aussies are most satisfied with. We compared motorcycle helmets across several criteria and found one brand which emerged superior to the rest, Nolan. With a five-star rating for the all-important overall satisfaction, it takes out our Most Satisfied Customers Award for Motorcycle Helmets.
Nolan turned in a dominant performance across the board, with its satisfaction ratings from Aussie customers earning the brand top marks across every single one of our criteria. The company beat several strongly performing brands to claim the top spot, with the four-star achievers consisting of AGV, Arai, Bell Helmets, Shark and Shoei. Also in our ratings were Fox and Rjays with three stars overall.
Value for money
A helmet is an expensive proposition, especially seeing as it's one of the few products in our lives where skimping on quality really isn't an option. Nevertheless, a helmet that offers good value for money – i.e. provides a good balance between price and quality – is always a more attractive proposition. As previously mentioned, Nolan scored five stars for the value of their helmets, with the four-star achievers being AGV, Bell, Shoei and Rjays.
It's absolutely essential for your helmet to be comfortable, especially if you commute on your bike every day. It's clear from our satisfaction ratings that brands take comfort seriously, with a whopping three brands achieving a perfect five-star rating here – Nolan, AGV and Shoei. With the exception of three-star achiever Fox, all the remaining brands finished with four stars for comfort satisfaction, showing just how important a consideration it is for both brand and customer.
A similar category to comfort, a helmet's fit needs to be just right – loose enough not to be constricting, but firm enough to keep your head protected and to not move around. Nolan again had the highest satisfaction scores for the fit of their helmets, followed by AGV, Arai, Bell, Shoei and Rjays with four stars each.
Ease of cleaning
Another everyday consideration is how simple it is to clean and maintain your motorbike helmet – seemingly an important factor for Nolan and AGV, having earned top marks from our survey respondents. Rjays, Bell and Shoei also scrubbed up well and scored four stars for satisfaction when it came to ease of cleaning.
Whilst crash protection is a given considering the tight regulations that helmets are subject to, a less obvious characteristic is how long your helmet will last. A new helmet should last you for years (provided you don't damage it) and a long-lasting helmet means reliable protection and better value. Five stars were awarded to Nolan, Shoei and AGV, all of which topped the ratings for durability; one star behind these three was Bell and Rjays.
Noise dampening
Whilst the roar of your V-twin Harley is a beautiful thing to listen to, it's still important to protect your ears in the long term! The padding in most helmets does a good job of noise dampening, but there are still some manufacturers which go the extra mile. Nolan and Shoei shared the honours for noise suppression satisfaction on five stars apiece, whilst Bell Helmets also did well to score four.
Important though face protection is, you still need to be able to see where you're going from inside a helmet – indeed, a helmet that allows you more peripheral vision is likely safer than a narrow one because it lets you identify and avoid potential hazards. The top rated brand here was Nolan once again, completing the company's impressive sweep of our rated criteria; in second place on four stars were consistent performers AGV, Bell and Shoei.
Frequently asked questions
Canstar Blue commissioned I-view to survey 882 Australian motorcycle riders in order to measure and track customer satisfaction. The outcomes reported are the results from customers within the survey group who have purchased and used a motorcycle helmet in the last 2 years – in this case, 562 Australians.
Brands must have received at least 30 responses to be included. Results are comparative and it should be noted that brands receiving three stars have still achieved a satisfaction measure of at least six out of 10. Not all brands available in the market have been compared in this survey. The ratings table is first sorted by star ratings and then alphabetically. A rated brand may receive a 'N/A' (Not Applicable) rating if it does not receive the minimum number of responses for that criteria.

Eating on a Binge
Poem by: Murnit
Status: Finished
Genre: Poetry
It seems my fear has been catching up with me
Perhaps the control has been only pretend
And now I feel it slipping from my fingers
Trying to still keep my footing , in life and love
Its an empty space here in my insides
Trying to fill it I do , as Ive done before
Feeling my heart beating as the sweetness
Melts on my tongue and as it flows down into me
As I swallow I know it will dissapear into the darkness
No amount of sweet blocks will fill it
I move on to the next eat, convinced it will do the trick
My guilt starting to push up into my throat
Physically filled to the brim my breathing is shallow
Knowing not one more piece will fit down there
Guilt has spewed into my mouth
I taste the bitterness of it on my tongue

For too long there's been a paradigm which says that feminism is some kind of women vs. men battleground fought by a sneering Jim Davidson and Dapper Laughs on one side and a bra-less Germaine Greer and Emma Watson on the other, but guys don't have to be intimidated or fight feminism, in fact, there's lots of ways guys can actually benefit from supporting feminism.
If Women Are Equal Then They Have To Split Bills
If feminism topples patriarchy, perhaps in an epic final scene in which a screaming Dapper Laughs is chucked by Boudicca into a steaming volcano shaped like a massive vulva, then it means women will be considered and treated equal to men in all things. The upside of that for guys is that it won't be assumed or considered right for men to pay for meals and dates, meaning you'll have more money to spend on videogames and beard oil.
Having Body Autonomy Will Make Accidental Pregnancy Scares Less Likely
So if feminism does us all a favour and becomes the norm then women will be rightly afforded full autonomy over their own bodies, meaning not only will you get more sex, but they'll have a variety of contraceptive options. This way you won't spend weeks on end worrying if you're going to be a baby daddy over a split condom with a girl you barely know.
Women Who Enjoy Sex Won't Be Called Sluts Which Will Improve Your Chances
I'll never understand guys who would call a woman a slut for having sex regularly or on a first date, if a girl is sound enough to shag you on night one then you should be nothing but grovelingly grateful that she's so clued-in and cool. If all women weren't held up to some poxy ideal of purity then it's much more likely that they'll be happier and freer in their sex life, increasing your chances of spending the night with a real human woman and not your hand and Youporn.
Women Will Be Less Inhibited & More Forward In Asking Guys Out
Constantly perpetuating an idea that women are demure, timid creatures who need a man to sweep them off their feet is causing you to have less bang-tang, that's a fact. Here's another one, if there wasn't the idea that the confident man should make the first move on the shy or playing-hard-to-get-girl then women would be just as comfortable (or uncomfortable) as men are approaching women. As a gender we're missing out on the thrill that must come from being blatantly chatted up by a member of the opposite sex and that's not fair, is it? Treat women better then they'll treat you better, it's as simple as Donald Trump's idiotic foreign policy.
Women Consider Guys Who Identify As Feminists Hot
Let's do an experiment, who's sexier? Misogynistic wife beater Chris Brown, walking around all macho but coming across like a petulant child, all while looking like a shit Simon Phoenix from Demolition Man OR Ryan Gosling, holding you gently yet firmly in his throbbing man-arms while whispering romantic French poetry in your ear on a late summer picnic beneath gently swaying boughs of oak? I rest my case.
Men Won't Have To Be Considered The Breadwinner
If women achieve full, actual equality, that will mean that they are paid just as well as men are for similar jobs which should hopefully take the pressure off of men to be the primary provider. Which is great 'cause it frees up more time for men to work less and focus on pet projects like winning the Champions League with Burnley on Football Manager or watching Breaking Bad in your pants on a Tuesday afternoon.

Is it normal to be prescribed a antibiotic after intimalase/incontilase?
Doctor Answers 3
Are antibiotics necessary for IntimaLase, FemiLift, or MonaLisa Touch?
Whichever "brand" of pixillated fractional CO2 laser you undergo (FemiLift, MonaLisa Touch; IncontiLase) neither pre- or post-procedure antibiotics are necessary.
Best wishes,
Mchael Goodman, MDDavis, CA, USA

Antibiotics are for infections and certain surgeries, not for vaginal nonsurgical lasers
If you have an infection in the vaginal area, you should get treated for the infection and wait for it to clear completely before having laser therapy or anything else. If you have had herpes in the past, you should be treated with antiviral pills, not antibiotics, before and after your laser treatment to prevent an uncomfortable outbreak. There is no other reason to consider medications in this situation. If your laser physician is doing this out of "fear of the unknown", then they are truly not expert in conditions of the vagina and bladder and you should go elsewhere.

Antibiotics after Laser Vaginal Resurfacing??
No need for antibiotics before or after Laser Vaginal Resurfacing of any kind. I have nearly 3 years experience with FemiLift, CO2 laser and have never prescribed antibiotics and nobody has experienced an infection.In women with a history of recurrent flares of genital herpes it would be appropriate to prescribe an anti-viral, such as acyclovir.

Suarez biting bans upheld but he can train with Barca
By Brian Homewood
BERNE Switzerland (Reuters) - Uruguay forward Luis Suarez's four-month playing ban for biting Italy defender Giorgio Chiellini has been upheld by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) although he will be allowed train with his new club Barcelona.
CAS said in a statement that it had removed the clause which banned the 27-year-old from "any football-related activity" following an appeal by the Uruguayan Football Association (AUF) on Suarez's behalf.
The Barca player remains ineligible to play in official matches during the four-month period, and his nine-game international ban also stays in force following the notorious incident during the World Cup group game on June 24 which Uruguay won 1-0.
However, a spokesman for soccer's world governing body FIFA said he could play in friendly internationals for club and country. This could allow him to make his Barcelona debut against Mexican side Leon on Monday if selected.
"The sanctions imposed on the player by FIFA have been generally confirmed," CAS said in a statement. "However, the 4-month suspension will apply to official matches only and no longer to other football-related activities (such as training, promotional activities and administrative matters)."
"It has however considered that the stadium ban and the ban from "any football-related activity" were excessive given that such measures are not appropriate to sanction the offense committed by the player and would still have an impact on his activity after the end of the suspension."
Suarez's legal team said they had successfully argued that FIFA had misapplied its own rules when considering the case and the sanction it imposed on other football-related activities was disproportionate.
"As a result, Suarez is now permitted to train and attend matches with his Barcelona team mates in preparation for the new season," his lawyers said in a statement. Continued...

Fresh blow for Bielefeld
By Thomas Zeh
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
Sibusiso Zuma is set to miss the first six weeks of the season with Arminia Bielefeld.
Bundesliga minnows Arminia Bielefeld have suffered a setback in their pre-season preparation with the news that South African international Sibusiso Zuma will be sidelined for the new six weeks.
The tricky striker, who has made a strong impact at the Schuco-Arena since joining the club from FC Copenhagen, had to be replaced in last week's friendly against Greek outfit Olympiakos after picking up a knee injury.
Scans have revealed torn ligaments in his knee and the striker has been informed he will be out of action until well into September.
The news comes as a serious blow to coach Thomas Von Heesen, who has lost Ghana international Isaac Boakye to Wolfsburg this summer, while new arrival Christian Eigler is still suffering from hip problems.

TV has never seen more transgender characters
By P. Ryan Baber
LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Although long known to the gay community, breakout star Candis Cayne became a household name this year with her recurring role as the male-to-female transgender character Carmelita on ABC's "Dirty Sexy Money."
She also made history as the first transgender actress to play a transgender character in primetime, and she even shared an onscreen kiss with William Baldwin.
"It just never would have occurred to me to cast a person that wasn't transgender," says creator and executive producer Craig Wright. "The minute Candis walked through the door, there wasn't a single ounce of opposition."
This was a bold step for a network at a time when most LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender) ground is broken on cable. With two cable networks -- Here! and Logo -- providing dedicated gay content, and numerous other cable networks featuring LGBT characters in original miniseries, documentaries and dramas, the LGBT experience is being portrayed with more complexity than ever.
According to Neil Giuliano, president of the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation, which is holding its 19th annual Media Awards on Saturday at Hollywood's Kodak Theatre (with additional ceremonies in New York, South Florida and San Francisco), "There are fewer gay characters on the broadcast networks than there have been in over a decade ... but the characters that do exist are more fully realized and authentic than characters we've seen in the past, so progress is being made."
While gay characters are enjoying fewer but meatier roles, transgender characters have never seen so much airtime. ABC has led the way, garnering 11 GLAAD nominations, three of which credit the depiction of transgender characters on "Dirty Sexy Money," "Ugly Betty" and "All My Children." However, even though Cayne has won enormous praise both for her performance and for what her inclusion means for the transgender community, the vast majority of transgender roles on television are still not played by transgender actors.
According to some producers, it is not studio opposition that makes it so difficult, but rather the challenge of casting roles from the relatively small talent pool of transgender actors. "We didn't know whether to go with a real transgender or whether to go with a woman," says "Ugly Betty" creator and executive producer Silvio Horta. "We saw some transgender actors, but it ended up being that the couple that we found just didn't have the chops."
So when the show revealed that editor Alex Meade had disappeared for two years to complete a transition from male to female, including full sexual reassignment surgery, creators turned to actress Rebecca Romijn to fill the high heels of the newly metamorphosed Alexis Meade. Continued...

Come take a fresh look at tech in the PSAP. We will share various policies and tell you what should and shouldn't be included and give you a forum to share your opinions. EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT & CONTINGENCY PLANNINGCritical Infrastructure AssessmentThomas Somers – Los Angeles (CA) Fire Department; Susan Zielan – ConsultantActions taken during the first 15 minutes after a catastrophic event set the direction for success or failure. All disaster plans sit on a foundation of infrastructure – a communications center's ability to recognize the situation for what it is and accurately assess mission-critical infrastructure will drive immediate action plans. This session provides insight into the "Infrastructure 5" and how to develop emergency action plans.GIS FOR 9-1-1 & PUBLIC SAFETYNG9-1-1 GIS Data PreparationMark Holmes – L.R. KimballIn today's 9-1-1, the accuracy and completeness of GIS data is extremely important. GIS becomes even more paramount in NG9-1-1 environments.

An extended question and answer period will give you the opportunity to discuss the topics that are most important to you.NG9-1-1 STRATEGIC PLANNING Just Whose Project is This Anyway? Jim Lockard, PMP, ENP – Mission Critical PartnersSo, you have embarked on a project with the assistance of a Project Manager. Do you need to worry or are you completely okay with letting things run without micro-managing the person who is supposed to be in charge? This session provides tricks and tips to ensure that things go smoothly, and most importantly, lets you know what you can expect when dealing with a Project Manager! PSAP TRAINING Bridging Cultural & Language Divides to Serve Multi-Lingual Populations Manuel Solis – Language Line Services; Dave Larton – First Contact 9-1-1; Rich Delperdang – Pacific Interpreters In a PSAP every second counts when respond¬ing to emergency calls.

EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT & CONTINGENCY PLANNINGSensors & Emergency ManagementApril Heinze, ENP – Eaton County (MI) Central Dispatch Industry has used sensors for many years to provide early warning of potential issues. How are sensors used and what are their impacts on emergency management and contingency planning? How does the use of sensors change planning and response? Attend this session to hear about the impact that sensors are having on response efforts today and how they will factor into future systems as technologies advance.FUTURE PROOFING 1Broadband 101Presented in Partnership with USTelecomTom Soroka – USTelecomDesigned for anyone without a technical background, this two-hour seminar explains how voice, data, and, video traverse today's IP networks. Using layman's terms and a minimum of acronyms, this can't-miss session provides easy to understand broadband definitions, a brief history of networks, and illustrates how the Internet is made of millions of connections. Leave with a better understanding of how fiber optic, DSL, CATV, and wireless networks carry broadband services, including 9-1-1 calls and texts, plus technologies like cloud computing.FUTURE PROOFING 2Vehicle Telematics & Crash DataGeorge Bahouth – BMW; Cathy McCormick – OnStar For several months, actual crash data, including injury severity formulas related to automobile accidents, has been subject to trials to help determine value and importance. This session focuses on what is being learned and how it can improve 9-1-1 and first responder services going forward.FUTURE PROOFING 3Enabling Information Rich Location Accuracy & PositioningMichael Amarosa – TruePosition; Chris Gates – NextNav, LLC; Patrick Donovan – FCC Public Safety & Homeland Security Bureau Advances in location technology are improving accuracy and making possible new capabilities like reliable altitude measurement and deep-indoor positioning.

Jayme Murbach – Spokane County (WA) 9-1-1; Shelle Goforth – Spokane County (WA) 9-1-1; Amy Sullivan – Spokane County (WA) 9-1-1; Nathan Phillips – Spokane County (WA) 9-1-1; Cassidy Haas – Spokane County (WA) 9-1-1Technology for Next Generation 9-1-1 is being developed and tested, yet very little infor¬mation exists to identify the impacts these advancements may have on call center em¬ployees. Spokane County 9-1-1 has developed ideas, recommendations, and considerations for both center administrators and call receiv¬ers regarding changes inherent with Next Generation 9-1-1. Some areas covered are the changes in workload, public education, emo¬tional impacts, employee retention, finances, and records retention. SOCIAL NETWORKING & MEDIA Social Media Policy: A Beginners Guide & PSAP Director Round Table John Kelly – Ottosen, Britz, Kelly, Cooper, Gilbert, & DiNolfo, Ltd.; Mike McGrady – MCM Consulting Group; Ed Marecki, ENP – Delaware State Police; Lisa James, ENP – Union County (PA)Today's world of total electronic communica¬tion presents both challenges and opportuni¬ties when that communication takes place in, or affects, the PSAP.

STRESS & MORALE Stress & Morale: Getting to Root Issues, Getting Real Change! Jim Marshall – 911 Training InstituteNothing can pull down the PSAP and erode performance more than toxic attitudes and low morale. 9-1-1 leaders grow increasingly frustrated when time-consuming PSAP morale booster strategies are derided as "phony and insincere" by personnel. You can save admin time and budget by discovering and buffering the impact that psychological stress has on employee morale in first responder organi¬zations. A veteran PSAP leader and a 9-1-1 mental health expert join to give fresh insights you can build on. TEXT MESSAGING Text to 9-1-1 Solutions for the Pre-NG Age John Snapp – Intrado; Mark Grady, ENP – Indigital; Jay Malin – AGENT511; Todd Piett, ENP – Rave Mobile SafetyThe initial goal of text-to-9-1-1 is to meet the needs of individuals with hearing or speech disabilities. Pressure also is building to make non-voice service available to the general public. There are initiatives in several industry venues under way, and the FCC is looking to advance a national interim text solution that can support multiple text methods. This session provides an overview of the technologies enabling text-to-9-1-1 today, and highlights some of the issues associated with text-to-9-1-1 deployment.
Indoor Location, Z-Axis, & the NextNav Network Ganesh Pattabiraman – NextNav, LLCThis session features a discussion of the powerful new technology being deployed by NextNav to geo-locate cellular phones indoors by using wide-area techniques. Further, participants will learn how NextNav can also offer very high precision (floor-level) in the Z-axis.Enterprise Multi-Tenant Call-Handling SolutionsSam Bard – microDATA GIS, Inc.9-1-1 agencies are faced with increasing demands on limited resources. Agencies can benefit from shared enterprise call-handling, though many are concerned about giving up control and privacy. Come learn how microDATA's suite of enterprise multi-tenant 9-1-1 call-handling solutions allow agencies to share resources, increase redundancy, and increase interoperability, without sacrificing the management control and integrity of their individual systems.
3GPP standards for next-generation carrier services currently support emergency calls using voice and real-time text. Multi-Media Emergency Services (MMES) extends this to additional media types, such as text mes¬saging and video. Learn what MMES is, its benefits and capabilities, and a high-level overview of how it works. This session also examines the current FCC standing on text messaging and provides predictions for im¬minent rule making that will affect the future of text and multimedia messaging.
Education & Training Sessions1:30PM – 2:30PM 9-1-1 PR & PUBLIC EDUCATIONRegional Collaboration: The Benefits of Promoting a Unified MessageDee Walchle – Steuben County (IN) Communications; Lorri Gifford – Washington State Military Department Emergency Management Division; Cindy Bridges, ENP – Central Texas Council of GovernmentsThis session explains the value of collaborating with other 9-1-1 organizations within your state to develop and promote 9-1-1 educational messages. Panelists will highlight different examples of successful large-scale 9-1-1 education programs that have been instrumental in formulating and delivering cohesive, consistent educational messages. ACCESSIBILITY Video Relay Service Providers on the Frontline & Stress Management Richard Ray – City of Los Angeles Department on DisabilityLive video will play a huge part in the future of 9-1-1, and sign language interpreters working for Video Relay Service (VRS) providers will be on the frontlines. Representatives from vari¬ous VRS providers will describe what kind of resources and training they currently provide to their interpreters and what safeguards will need to be in place for VRS and PSAP person¬nel viewing potentially upsetting or mentally harmful requests for service in an NG9-1-1 environment. CURRENT ISSUESPublic Safety Procurement: Get it Right the First TimeJeff Webster – DeltekThis session provides an overview of the procurement process from the initial idea creation through budgeting and contract negotiations. Attendees will gain insight into proper procurement strategies and techniques as outlined by successful public safety procurements across the country. EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT & CONTINGENCY PLANNINGThe Super Bowl's Social Media Command Center Scores a Winning TouchdownTy Wooten, ENP – Public Safety Consulting & Management; Jamison Peevyhouse, ENP – Weakly County (TN) 9-1-1 ECDThe Social Media Command Center during the Super Bowl became more than just a curiosity. Attendees of this session will hear about how the Command Center was designed to collect, monitor, and distribute real-time information to the nearly one-million visitors to Indianapolis during Super Bowl week. Presenters will discuss lessons learned from the experience and explain how the Center serves as an example for future mass-communications efforts surrounding similar events.FUTURE PROOFING 1The Role of Analytics in Improving 9-1-1 Brian Fontes – NENA; Ryan Dulin – California 9-1-1 Emergency Communications DivisionFrom routing data to call durations and answering times, 9-1-1 systems generate an enormous amount of raw data. Much of that data, however, is neither time-synchronized nor represented in a human-friendly format. Advances in management information systems and deep analytics will soon make more of this data easily digestible and visually compelling. This session explores the evolving role of data in 9-1-1 management, and how rich informatics and analytics will soon transform the 9-1-1 enterprise.FUTURE PROOFING 2Evolving Regulations for 21st Century Emergency CommunicationsTrey Forgety – NENA; Patrick Donovan – FCC Public Safety & Homeland Security Bureau; Daryl Branson, ENP, MPA – Colorado 9-1-1 Resource CenterAs the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) approaches its end-of-life, regulations designed for a telephone-centric world must be revised to reflect the primacy of IP-based communications, and to anticipate the emergency services needs of the public for the next 50 years. This session explores regulatory changes already in progress, and examines the need for additional work to modernize state and federal rules for an NG9-1-1 future. GIS FOR 9-1-1 & PUBLIC SAFETYThe Integration of Road Centerline Data for Single-Source Authoritative Data Gene Trobia – Arizona State Land Department; Marc Berryman, ENP – DDTIThis session highlights successful efforts in many states to create a single authoritative road centerline file and address database. Through the cooperative efforts of local and state public safety, DOTs, other entities, and private sector partners, nationwide address and centerline data can be vastly improved, while partnerships provide an avenue for lowering costs and enhancing quality.NG9-1-1 DATA Additional Data Today: A Window Into the Future of NG9-1-1 David Lucas, ENP – Lexington-Fayette (KY) Urban County Government; Cathy McCormick – OnStar; Matthew Serra, ENP – Rave Mobile Safety; April Heinze, ENP – Eaton County (MI) Central DispatchNG9-1-1 promises to supplement voice com¬munications with extensive data about the caller and their circumstances. What will it be like to operate in an information-rich environment? Where is additional information already helping? What changes can we expect when we transition to NG9-1-1? In addition to a Q&A opportunity, the panelists will discuss their experiences with existing sources of supplemental data in an effort to prepare the audience for its arrival. NG9-1-1 EARLY ADOPTER CASE STUDIES NG9-1-1 in Reality David Jones, ENP – Mission Critical Partners; Bob Gojanovich, ENP – TeleCommunication Systems; Steve O'Conor, ENP – Synergem; Anna Hastings, ENP – AT&TThe i3 standard has been out for about a year. See how vendors implement i3 services as they attempt to meet both the standard and customer expectations — which are not always the same thing. This session provides a viewpoint from both the test environment and actual production systems, as well as exam¬ines customer requirement interpretations. SOCIAL NETWORKING & MEDIA #HELP! Is Social Media Coming Soon to a PSAP Near You? Noah Reiter, MPA, ENP – Rave Mobile Safety; Billy Grogan – Dunwoody (GA) Police DepartmentSocial Media has taken the world by storm. Used primarily for casual, professional, and even philanthropic purposes, there is also use for criminal gang recruitment, riot coordination, and "flash robs". Law enforcement is becoming active on many social media platforms to com-municate with the public, investigate crimes, and obtain actionable intelligence. When (if ever) will 9-1-1 centers begin monitoring social networks and what would that look like? Trends will be introduced and scenarios explored.

Morgan Asset Management (NYSE: JPM) today announced its plans to pursue a significant build out of its Endowments & Foundations practice with the launch of a new Endowments & Foundations (E&F) Strategic Advisory Group. This group will specifically focus on the U.S. endowment and foundation market, which represents a $1 trillion opportunity, with a sophisticated client base that is rapidly growing at over $100 billion each year. Monica Issar, who was most recently a senior investment specialist at J.P. Morgan Private Bank, will become Chief Investment Advisor for the newly created unit. Ms. Issar will work closely with regional Investment Management and Private Banking teams on client coverage, and will lead a team of experienced investment specialists to provide a combination of customized client advisory services and investment strategies, accessing the broad investment capabilities of J.P. Morgan across all asset classes. Ms. Issar will be based in New York and report jointly to George Gatch, Chief Executive Officer of J.P. Morgan's Investment Management Americas division, and Phil Di Iorio, head of Products and Practices for J.P. Morgan Private Bank. "We're thrilled to have Monica at the helm as we build upon the great work from our existing investment management and private banking E&F client groups," said George Gatch.

I recently was having a conversation with my friend Sami and we were talking about careers/life choices, etc and ended up thinking about where we'd be if we made very different choices. I asked her where she thought I'd be if I never got into entertainment and it was HILARIOUS what she came up with. I asked her if she'd mind writing it up as a guest post of sorts for me to share with all of you and I think she had a little too much fun coming up with it. This is what she wrote:
Hi Everybody! This was a lot of fun for me, thank you all for reading. And, thank you Kup for letting me participate on your blog! When Kupah asked if I'd mind writing what I was trying to say, I started thinking about some specific questions… Where would he be? What would he be doing? Not focusing so much on how other people would be impacted, but how would he?
If Kupah James never found entertainment I think he'd still be living an all-around successful and fun life. You can change a career, but you can't change who a person is and what makes them who they are. Kupah is outgoing, loud, positive, ambitious, creative and active with an entrepreneurial spirit. He would have to be doing multiple things and working with people as much as possible.
Corporate Kupah:
I picture him in a corporate/office setting wearing a suit (suspenders over the shoulders) because he's in a leadership or management position. Having studied sociology and criminal justice and previously working at a D.A.s office, I imagine he'd be doing something law oriented to help people or project-manage for a cause/company that helped people. That could be in a government/ public service way, or more legally/advocate based.
I imagine he would still be doing fitness and Klass with Kupah. But, he'd be going to the gym more and teaching more fitness classes (sadly, not Street Feet) than he does now. Depending on his actual day job, he'd be trying to start a foundation or open a gym. He'd be using business connections to network and find capital for these ventures.
I think he'd be in a committed relationship, living with his girlfriend, but, unsettled and feeling slightly unfulfilled. I think he'd be pursuing so many projects, jobs and hobbies to fill those voids and not know what was missing. He'd travel for work or to meet a potential investor and then get the travel bug. At that point I think he'd be trying to see as much as possible throughout the year and look into the real estate game; which would lead him to go for his realtor's license and open up that market in the city of Boston.
I think we'd still find Kupah always on the go, always talking to people, making connections, trying to catch the next wave and forward thinking about projects and jobs. It just would be in different circles, different industries and be different activities and hobbies. I think his personal life would be different and we would find him more in the financial district or Back Bay during Happy Hour than at the latest nightclubs during the Midnight Hour.
Kupah James: Tamed-
Kupah #2 is less of an outwardly force of nature. Obviously you can't remove someone's love of music and creativity, but, not being the lifeblood of his day, what would that look like on Kupah #2 where movement, music and that specific type of creative element isn't at the fore front? Now, Kupah has a hard time focusing too much on administrative type tasks/routine tasks. But, what if you have that creativity and fast-paced mind without the "muscle memory" of channeling it outward?
I think we'd have an outwardly reserved Kupah (crazy I know!) who wrote constantly and was glued to a computer for work. He'd write books and weekly columns and have a blog he updated 2-3x a day. This Kupah would work from home, be self-made and entrepreneurial but, in a completely different way.
But, this Kupah would be a dad and married. He'd be the stay at home parent, with a business minded wife. He'd take his wife on exciting vacations and plan elaborate date nights. He'd treat her like the queen she would be and be attentive and romantic. Think date nights and heartfelt cards, foot massages, etc LOL. He would still remain active, going to the gym regularly but now, instead of teaching fitness classes, he'd coach all of his kids' sports teams and charm all the other moms and teachers at their schools. On a different personal note, he'd have his guys' days with his friends at more local spots and spend his holidays at home instead of a gig!
This Kupah is still outgoing, still has his natural charm and people skills, and still has his focus and ambition. He'd be creative in his work and in his relationships but his social circle would be smaller in person, but larger to the masses through media. This Kupah would reach more people internationally/nationally through his writing.
Secret Agent Kupah:
This Kupah is the dream. This is the Kupah that our Kupah intended on being when he entered college and began his pursuits of sociology and criminal justice. This Kupah's life is full of unending excitement (not always positive.) This is a Kupah who may have another undetermined name altogether. This would be James Cooper, FBI Agent.
This Kupah channels his talents and knowledge both physically and at a computer. He hates the reports he has to type up, the memos, the meetings that he's not leading and reading all of the suspect profiles. He answers to somebody, multiple somebodies, but leads a team and makes more life-changing decisions in the field than he ever could in another profession. He'd use his charm and personality to have the best solve rate, hands down. Who better to gather information, back suspects into a corner conversationally and get a confession or at least real information from someone's mom or girlfriend?
Physically he would work out constantly and be active in his daily work activities. He would be amassing all kinds of connections and networking to use as sources, aides, and to have the hook ups as he travels around for a case. Personally, he'd have few meaningful relationships outside of his partner, family and childhood friends.
This Kupah would maximize all of his strengths and passions, but would toe the line with censoring his comments and actions as he'd hate having to answer to someone and have that accountability to a superior. Think Mike Lowery FBI agent. He wouldn't have as many projects and hobbies, but his career would, arguably, be one giant one. He'd travel and mingle and dance and be loud and make as big a difference. But, his difference wouldn't be as well-known (keeping government secrets and all.)
I'd LOVE to hear your thoughts on this one LOL!! Which Kupah do you like the best? PLEASE share, tweet, like, subscribe….

New Delhi, Sept. 23: Thousands of students can now get into engineering college without preparing for the rigorous common entrance tests (CETs) provided they have done well in their plus-two exams.
The Supreme Court today ruled that if not enough candidates qualify through the CETs, private engineering colleges can fill the vacancies by admitting students on the basis of their plus-two marksheets. This opens the door even for students who havent appeared for the entrance test.
The Chennai-based All India Medical and Engineering Colleges Association had moved court seeking just such a verdict. It had pleaded that private engineering colleges in the country had been left with more than 1 lakh vacant seats for the 2005-06 academic session even after admitting successful CET candidates.
The court ruling applies for this year alone.
One reason why engineering colleges struggle to fill seats is that many candidates, after clearing their states CET, opt out if they do not get the college or subject of their choice. The court ruled that these candidates must be accommodated first ' in colleges outside their states if required ' before the rest of the vacant seats are filled through the plus-two route.
To make this possible, the court asked all the states to hand to the association, within 72 hours, a list of successful CET candidates who have opted out.
Union human resource development ministry officials, however, said the main reason that so many seats go vacant is the sprouting of substandard private engineering colleges.
Students and their guardians are aware that these colleges fail to meet the basic guidelines set by the All India Council of Technical Education, which recently scrapped thousands of seats and many courses in several institutes.
These colleges, which lack proper faculties or infrastructure, yet charge extremely high fees, an official said. The problem is most acute in Tamil Nadu and Karnataka.
, where over 14,000 engineering seats went vacant in 2004-05.

Yesterday's leader, American Glenn Darden on Le Tigre, simply had a classic 'hard luck' day, managing to only get a 15-30 and has to count to finishes in the teens to drop from first place and, like the classic board game of 'Chutes and Ladders', dropped down the chute so far that they now lie in seventh place. Rounding out the top ten are Jean Charles Moriceau from France, posting a 2-9 score to move up into sixth overall with 49 points. In eighth is the German team from Kieler Woche led by Martin Menzner with 60.5 points, ninth is Eric Brezellec's Interface Concept 2 team with 68 points and 10th is another German team, Bjorn Beilken with 71 points.
Of note, the top Danish team from the host country is Jesper Kragh Jespersen lying in 14th, the top Italian team is Aldo Samele on Canarino Feroce in 15th place, top Russian team is Vitaliy Tarakanov in 21st, top British team is Tom Phipps in 25th, top Polish team is Pawel Boksa in 36th, top Netherlands team is Laura Vroon in 43rd, top Estonian team is Peeter Meressaar in 59th and top Finnish team is Otto Reittila in 63rd.
The racing on the final day sounds very similar to the past four J/80 World Championships. All very, very close racing with at least 6-7 boats having a mathematical chance to win the entire Worlds overall! At this level of world-class sailing, you simply cannot have any closer racing than what these teams are experiencing. Friday will surely dawn with a lot of anxious skippers and tacticians pondering the best strategies to go win the regatta while avoiding any kind of massive mistakes. What's unusual is that the only boat in the top ten with a toss race under 15th place is the Swedish team of Ingemar Sundstedt, every other team has toss races in the 20s, 30s or higher!
Friday will be an interesting day and the champion that arises like a Phoenix from the smoke of battle will be a well-deserved J/80 World Champion.

Stefan Logan is getting back to his roots.
Entering his fourth season in the NFL, Logan has spent most of his time as a return specialist while moon-lighting as a receiver.
Before entering the league, Logan spent a season as a running back in the Canadian Football League and also played the position in college.
"(It) feels great to be back (at the running back position) but at the same time, it's all about just helping the team, each and every way I can," said Logan. "At running back, wide receiver, kick return, punt return, I'm just here to do whatever it takes. Just help us make plays at any position."
Logan entered last season as a receiver but – after injuries at the running back position – made the transition back to the backfield.
He didn't contribute much on offense but with only nine carries, didn't have much of a chance.
However, this season he has seen a little more action at the position in practice – including some reps with the first-team offense. He also had five touches for 17 yards and a touchdown in the team's first preseason tilt.
His ability to contribute on offense is becoming increasingly important, since the NFL's 2011-implemented kickoff rule – moving the ball up five yards on kickoffs – is a determent to the impact he can have in the return game.
"Well two years ago was a little different role because of the way the rules were," said head coach Jim Schwartz. "You know he was returning a lot of kicks, returning one for a touchdown, making a lot of plays on kickoff cover. Those things don't happen very often now. He's been used as a gadget player, making some plays there. He's gotten a much more important role on offense now and you know mentally he's been very sharp. He's still multidimensional, he lines up split out as a wide receiver, lines up in the back field, you know does a lot of those things and he's also still you know ready as a returner. So last year his role changed a little bit with the way the rules changed but he's done a good job of finding a way to keep being useful."
Logan is happy to contribute on offense but hasn't lost touch with his main responsibility.
"Right now, my permanent position is running back but as everybody already knows, my role since I've been here is on special teams and I'm not going to let that slip away," said Logan. "I started on kick return and punt return since I've been in the league and I don't want to take away from that so, playing running back is another role that I can play. I'm just trying to get out here and win."
Logan referred to himself as the team's 'scat back', offering speed to hit the edge on run plays – something even more valuable as Jahvid Best continues his recovery from last year's concussion.
Last season, the Lions didn't appear committed to getting Logan involved in the offense. So far, this year, it appears as if his role will be legitimate.

I like it. I remember hearing someone mention the name while I was an intern at an organization a couple years ago. I assumed it was Mei-Lin, and that she was Chinese, but it could have been Maylin/Maelyn. I do like the Mei-Lin spelling best, though, just because that's what I'm used to thinking when I hear MAY-lin, but the other spellings are nice. I like Malin, too, but I've always thought that was MAL (like the beginning of Mallory) in.Ashley | namenerd | Christian | storyteller

I've never thought much about this name to be honest. Except for when I was researching my family tree. I came across several male Maylin's/Mailin's, which I thought was an unusual name for a male. From other searches, the name Maylin/Mailin seems to be quite prevalent in males in the late 1800's - early 1900's.
Mentions of Maylin/Mailin in my family tree:
Mailin (born 1864)
Clarence Maylin (born 1901)
Maylin Bertram (born 1912)
Maylin George (born 1904)
Maylin James (born 1865)
Maylin John (1837)

Caleb: Power
The alarm changed, became more frantic and urgent. As such, I was met by more guards patrolling the corridors. They were easy to incapacitate, but it got ridiculous as the number of guards increased.
Suddenly, two guards who looked like KEvin rushed into the room. They saw me and stopped, "Alpha ETA risen to 5 minutes, an intruder is here, Psi and Omega to be delayed... out" they looked up at me.
"I'd raise that ETA to never if I were you," I sneered.
"I don't think so, you're just another damn hero wannabe."
"Nah, you're wrong there. I'm not the hero in this story, I'm the villain and I don't have much mercy left," I smiled up at them toothily, eyes shaded.
A flicker of fear passed their faces before Omega looked at Psi, "looks like we're the heroes for once then pal," Psi laughed nervously. Then he shot out a cone of ice. I sent a torrent of wind, buffeting them back and freezing Psi. Next, Omega jumped me and punched my face. My head moved slightly at the attack.
"Weak," I laughed. With all the strength I had, I jabbed his chest, my fist breaking through the ribs until I had his beating heart in my hand. Omega's face went into shock. With one small jolt, the heart stopped. I took out my arm which was now bloodstained and he dropped to the ground. I could see Psi's eyes roving in the ice. I punched the ice and it shattered and began to thaw.
Once in the next room, I was met with a girl that looked a lot like Sapphire. I felt rage at this clear abomination.
"I'm the second prototype, they've sent me out early in the belief that you will have trouble killing me due to my appearance," she winked at me provocatively.
"Shame, you're nothing like her so they should have saved you the bother and made you look like him."
One arm lit up with fire then, the other into ice. She joined them together and before I could move I was surrounded by a fiery vortex as ice creeped up my legs. I growled and felt my body tremble as I expelled electricty into a nova, shattering the freezing water.. I summoned some wind and buffeted the inferno back towards her. A look of annoyance spread across her face as she redoubled her efforts in vain. I walked forwards calmly, pushing the flames more and more towards her. Soon I was right in fron of her and the fire enveloped her body so that I couldn't even see the girl. I thought that would end her, but fiery hands clutched my wrists. I yelled with pain and suddenly, a female made purely from fire stood looking at me. I felt I was going to lose.
I felt within my mind and there was his power. In the time it took the power to flood my mind, she had completely consumed me with flames so that I must have been badly burned. I let the power take me and suddenly, everything slowed. I grabbed her face and electrocuted her. Slowly, she fell to the floor.
In the next room was Sapphire.
I allowed time to return and stood staring at her.
"Caleb," she muttered, her face a confusion of happiness and wariness. Neither of us knew what my appearance meant.
Two scientists that had interrogated her looked at me. Quickly I zapped them both with lightning. I must have been staring at her intensely since I barely realised my action. She looked horrified at the bodies and the blood that stained my hand, chest and bandaged stomach.
So doc, what do I feel?
His face appeared in my mind. It was like my face but older, the hair and eyes brown.
She tried to kill you, she destroyed your life, everything bad that ever happened to you happened because of her. How do you think you should feel? I could already feel my anger building. There was a heavy tension between us at my indecision. She looked perplexed at this.
I moved towards her and broke her restraints.
"Thanks," she muttered. She was slightly scared, her words coming out slightly hysterical, so she hugged me tightly, "I've missed you," she tried to lighten the mood. She placed her lips on my neck.
"I undid your restraints because I wanted you not to be incapacitated when I killed you. So you're execution would be more honourable," I felt her muscles tense around me. She let go.
"What?" her face was angry, but also sad, "Caleb this isn't you, you love me, you said everything was for me, what happened to that, to you?"
"You mean nothing to me!" there was a particular emphasis on the last word.
She went to punch me. I grabbed her hand and twisted it. She tried weakly with the other but I grabbed that too and sent small shocks down her. Her face froze in a mask of tortured pain as the electricity paralysed her.
But she means everything to me1 and before I could stop it, the word came out.
"Saph! it was low and painful, the electricity stopped, the pain I felt at this showed on my face. The docs face appeared again. Clearly you are not ready for this. But your powers are dwindling kid, that's why you need me and my expertise.
I let her go and shot upwards through the ceiling. I looked back to see that kid enter the room that had stopped my power. I felt a wave of anger and jealousy as I flew higher towards the heavens.
