Fortunately for St. Mary, Matthew Higgins turned a sacrifice bunt into a sacrifice fly Tuesday.
His seventh-inning sacrifice fly gave the Vikings a 1-0 win against Calloway County in the First Region baseball tournament semifinals. It came the same at-bat he couldn't lay down a squeeze.
The Vikings play the winner of the Marshall County-McCracken County semifinal at 6 p.m. at Brooks Stadium. McCracken County led 1-0 in the third inning late Tuesday.
"They're both very good teams," Vikings coach Matt Smith said. "We make mistakes against either of those two teams, we're going to be in for a long night. We've got to clean up some of the mistakes we made defensively. We have to put the bat on the ball."
The Vikings went 1-2 against McCracken County this season. They won the first game 4-2 on May 6, were no-hit in a 5-0 loss May 8 and lost 4-1 in the Second District championship May 20.
St. Mary (19-5) didn't play Marshall County this season.
The Vikings advanced after a seventh-inning offensive outburst against Lakers starting pitcher Connor Wagner, who took the loss despite allowing one unearned run over 51â 3 innings.
"Connor Wagner did a good job holding us," Vikings junior Matthew Higgins said. "With that many people on, there's only so long you can hold somebody. He was changing it up a little bit."
The rally came after John Higgins produced a one-out single to right field in the seventh. Vikings leadoff hitter Davis Sims then reached on a throwing error by Lakers shortstop Wade Carter. The misplay advanced Higgins to third and Sims to second.
Matthew - John's younger brother by one year - was then told to sacrifice bunt, but he couldn't make contact. John managed to scoot back to third base in time.
"I was surprised I didn't get my butt chewed out for missing it," Matthew said.
Matthew then lined a drive to deep right field that Travis Dwyer made a great play on, but it was a sacrifice fly that scored what proved to be the winning run against the Lakers (15-24).
The run, Vikings starting pitcher Austin Shaw says, helped immensely. He struggled in the bottom of the sixth but responded with a strong bottom of the seventh.
The right-hander hit consecutive batters with one out in the bottom of the sixth, and they advanced to second and third on a wild pitch. A Lofton Pigg walk loaded the bases with two outs, but Shaw induced a ground-out to send the game to the seventh tied at 0.
"I told the guys before this game this will be the toughest game of the year," Smith said. "It turned out that way. We bent a lot, but we didn't break."
St. Mary 000 000 1 1 4 2
Calloway County 000 000 0 0 2 3
Shaw and Johnston; Wagner, Orr (3), Wagner (4) and Brannon.
WP: Shaw; LP: Wagner
2B: StM-Darnell (2). 3B: none. HR: none. Multiple hitters: StM-Darnell 2-3.

Leveraging Light As A Source Of Renewal And Growth [Future of Light]
Modern lighting innovations promote health and wellness in a variety of environments.
Lighting has the ability to influence our comfort level inside a space – consider the way you feel under the glaring fluorescents at doctor's office versus the subdued lighting of a swanky bar – but what if it could work to do more? A range of innovations are mimicking the effects of natural sunlight to becomes a source of growth and healing that carries positive benefits for all living organisms.
In a theme we are calling Light Therapy, PSFK Labs explores light's capacity to improve our overall health and well-being. Susanne Seitinger, City Innovations Manager at Philips Color Kinetics, points to the multitude of needs that light serves, when she tell us, "There's a whole spectrum from very specific impacts that are related to our biology and physiology all the way through to the very abstract impacts of 'I feel good in this place' and everything in between."
Feeling good in spite of prevailing physical conditions is the inspiration behind Philips HealWell, a hospital lighting solution for patient rooms designed to improve satisfaction and support recovery. Philips HealWell combines the biological effects of natural daylight to promote better sleep patterns, while also empowering patients to create a pleasant atmosphere inside their rooms without having to get up from their bed. Philips Healwell is currently being used in healthcare facilities to improve conditions for patients, their loved ones and hospital staff.
Plants, which need light to flourish, also benefit from advances in lighting control. Philips has been experimenting with the use of LEDs in indoor horticulture, which can be finely tuned to provide optimum 'light recipes' at every stage of a crop's growth. The solid-state LED lighting solution offers a number of benefits to the horticulture industry, including increased yields, earlier flowering, faster root growth/ germination, better control of plant growth, and more economical use of space. Its low radiative heat emission also allows the light source to be installed closer to the plants, thus improving space utilization, while allowing producers to lower electricity consumption, especially during the high consumption periods of autumn and winter.
Philips technologies such as the HealWell and LED horticulture solutions demonstrate how artificial lighting sources are working to embody the healing properties of natural light and make them accessible to more people for a variety of needs. Imagine a lighting system that worked in concert with a daily alarm schedule to automatically dim or brighten to promote rest and relaxation or alertness depending on time of day.
These solutions also fall under a larger trend called Light for Life, which investigates the transformative power of light and its ability to positively impact the lives of individuals and communities by promoting well-being and creating more opportunities outside of daylight hours.
The Future of Light series explores light's potential to improve lives, build communities, and connect people in new and meaningful ways. Brought to you in partnership with Philips Lighting, a full report is available as an iOS and Android app or as a downloadable PDF.

I am trying to get my dsc1832 system to recognize 10 wireless zones in addition to the 3 hardwired zones. The manual is near useless and the pc link tool is no help? Does anyone know the answer?
I am trying to get my dsc1832 system to recognize 10 wireless zones in addition to the 3 hardwired zones. The manual is near useless and the pc link tool is no help? Does anyone know the answer?
The sytem needs a wireless receiver either a 5132-433 or a 5132-433 built into a keypad.
What do you have?
Do you have the installer and master codes for your system.
PC-link is not a cure all but merely an assist once you understand how to program your system. How are you connecting the PC-link to a computer? Do you have the DLS2002 software and have you downloaded the updates from DSC including the web update program?
The very first step is to complete the programming worksheet as this is your roadmap to success....have you completed the worksheet?
Each zone has attributes and definitions that must be programmed and the ESN (electronic serial numbers for each wireless transmitter must be programmed into the 5132 receiver. Do you have all the ESN's?
I need more information than you have provided to be able to offer much assistance.
Here is some very basic help:
I have just finished programming my Power 632 Panel (PC1555MX) with RF5501-433 Keypad, extra 5501Z Keypad, wired motion detectors, wired siren, wireless motion detectors, wireless glassbreak, wireless fire, wireless door, wireless keyfob.
I've seen many posts complaining about how terrible the DSC manuals are, and I agree!
For those who face the same challenge I've just been put through, I offer the following guide.
The instructions below uses "5555", the default installation code, "," to recommend that you pause for a second before entering the next sequence. Also, I sometimes use "#" more than needed to get back to the main screen. As you become more adept, you can stay in the same programming section without always going back to the main screen.
Step (1) Wiring -- the manual is fairly clear on this
note: if you are NOT using resistors, your wired zones may always display "open" once they are programmed -- see step (10).
Step (2) Enroll 1 Keypad
*8, 5555, 000, 0, 11, ##
*8, 5555, 902 ##
To enroll 2 keypads:
*8, 5555, 000, 0, 11, ##
*8, 5555, 000, 0, 12, ##
*8, 5555, 902, ##
Note: the sequence "*8, 5555, 902, ##" is a "supervisory reset", which is required after enrolling keypads.
Step (3) set time -- the manual is fairly clear on this
Step (4) enroll wireless keys
*8, 5555, 804, 41, then enter the 6 digit ESN on the back of the key. (note some ESN's are in hexadecimal -- see hexadecimal below), ##
- to enroll second wireless key: *8, 5555, 804, 42, its ESN, ##
Step (5) enroll wireless sensors
*8, 5555, 804, 09, its ESN, 10, its ESN, 11, its ESN, 12, its ESN, ## (note 09, 10, 11, 12, etc. refer to the zone numbers)
Step (6) define zones
*8, 5555, 001, 03, 03, 03, 03, 03, 03, 03, 03, ##
*8, 5555, 002, 03, 03, 03, 03, 03, 03, 03, 03, ##
Notes: the above assumes that you have 8 wired zones all set as instant zones & 8 wireless zones, all set as instant zones. If you have fewer than 8 wired zones, say you have 6 wired zones, enter in "03" just six times then ##. If you have fewer than 8 wireless zones, say, 7, enter "03" just seven times then ##. If you have more than 8 wireless zones, say, 14, follow the instructions for 8 zones then key *8, 5555, 003, 03, 03, 03, 03, 03, 03, ##. If you want to use different zone definitions, refer to pages 16-17 in the manual. But for initial install, as a helpful way to test, "03" is a good one to begin with. If you want to use, for example, definition 03 in zone 1, definition 01 in zone 2-4, definition 04 in zones 5-8, key as follows *8, 5555, 001, 03, 01, 01, 01, 04, 04, 04, 04, ##.
Step (7) zone attributes
*8, 5555, 101 (for zone 1), select one or more attributes listed on page 17, ##
*8, 5555, 102 (for zone 2), select one or more attributes listed on page 17, ##
Say you want attributes 1, 3, 6, 8 for zone 10, key *8,5555,110, 1,3,6,8 (they toggle, so see if 1,3,6,8 are displayed on the top of the screen - for LCD keypads), ##
Step (8 ) zone assignments
*8, 5555, 202 (for zones 1-, select one or more zones, ##
*8, 5555, 203 (for zones 9-16), select one or more zones, ##
As in step (7), you will see numbers 1-8 listed on the top of the screen for LCD keypads...when the zone number is selected it is displayed. For zones 1-8, displayed numbers 1-8 correspond to zones 1-8. For zones 9-16, numbers 1-8 correspond to zones 9, 16, etc..
Step (9) chime
*8, 5555, *, 01 (for zone 01), select chime type (1-4), ##
*8, 5555, *, 02 (for zone 02), select chime type (1-4), ##
Note: chime is attribute "03" in step 7. If you want some zones to chime and others not, select "03" or not, accordingly.
Note: you must also have the "chime" feature enabled on your keypad. There is a dedicated "chime" button on the 5501 keypad.
Step (10), optional.
IF your wired zones are showing "open" all the time, key *8, 5555, 013, and check to see that "1" is displayed. If not, select "1", ##
Hexadecimal instructions.
some ESN wireless codes use letters and numbers. While programming the ESN in the enrollment step, use "*" to toggle between numbers and letters. So, for ESN 4A6E28, key 4*1*6*5*28. A=1, B=2, C=3, D=4, E=5, F=6.
Other useful codes.
*8, 5555, 013, 4, ## (toggle for tampers/faults showing as open)
*8, 5555, 380, 2, ## (restore zone on siren time-out)
*8, 5555, 901, ## (walk test) -- same sequence to deactivate
*8, 5555, 904, zone number, (wireless reception test) ##
*2, (view trouble code), key code number displayed, reference page 10 for more information
*6, master code (default is 1234), 4 (system test)
There's much more you can program, but the above steps should get you up and running!
A very helpful guide however I'm still having problems with my system. I have a DSC-1832 box, with PK5501 v1.10 keypad. I have 3x wireless door contacts model DSC WS4945, 3x wireless PIR model DSC WS4904, 2x wired PIR model Digital Bravo 3P, and 2x wireless key fob model DSC WS4939.
This system was bought to secure our business while of course we lock up for the evening. We do not need any of the sensors to go off while we are here in the building during the day. Only to set off an alarm after we have left the building for the day.
Our plans for the sensors.
- 3x Wireless door contacts to be on a delay 30 second entry and exit timer to allow arming of the system from inside.
- 3x Wireless PIR sensors to be on a delayed 30 second entry and exit timer to allow arming of the system from inside.
- 2x Wired PIR sensors to be on an instant timer for they are placed on the inside of two storage buildings located seperatly from our main building.
- 2x Wireless key fobs to allow arming/disarming of the system from the outside.
Currently I have the panel hooked up with power, and the 2x wired PIR. For the wiring I have used a wire with four wires inside ran to each of the storage buildings to wire the PIR sensors.
Wiring of the wired PIR1: 12V - Red, GND - Black, NC - White, C - Green
Wiring of the PIR to panel: Aux+ Red, Aux- Black, Zone1- White, Zone1com -Green
Wiring of the wired PIR2: 12V - Red, GND - Black, NC - White, C - Green
Wiring of the PIR to panel: Aux+ Red, Aux- Black, Zone2- White, Zone2com -Green
I've have the keypad associated with the panel, i've entered in system time and date, I have the alarm siren connected(it's loud!!), and I've entered the wireless devices into the 804 menu. And tested them in the 904 menu, and they work fine.
I'm still confused as to what devices are under what zone, and how set those zones with the settings for delayed entry/exit timers when armed, and not to go off everytime a door is opened weather it's armed or not.
I still cannot get the system to arm as it has a fault saying Secure System before arming. So if you could, i'm looking for any assistance your willing to offer, as I'm stumped and cannot figure this out. Thank you in advance for any help you can offer!!!
Your system needs to be programmed and all the steps are too lengthy to list.
If the manual leaves you clueless.....it is time to call a professional for assistance. Watch and learn from him.
You must complete the programming worksheet as the very first step to program your system......this worksheet is your road map to success and will be your reference while programming your system.
Each zone must be defined and have it's attributes set and this is where you program "toogle #8" to turn on the wireless. The wireless receiver and keypads MUST be enrolled via section #902 and then can be checked via section #903.
The ESN (electronic serial numbers) for each wireless device must be programmed into the 5132 wrieless receiver.
The programming is not a 2 minute process...it takes time. The PC-link works very well in conjunction with the DLS2002 required software. You must understand your system and basic programming to be successful with the downloading software. There are no "canned" templates.
When you choose to be a DIY'er......you can save alot of money but you take on all the work whether trained or not.
Sorry that I can not give you a step by step process to get your system programmed.
No, still thank you for your time. Yes this stuff reads like Chinese stereo instructions to me, however there are no professional services where I am located. As I am not in the United States, and deployed overseas. I've been trying to read this stuff over and over and over, and I have the work book filled out, but alot of the options I'm still unsure If they have to be programmed, if they don't have to be programmed, what the default/normal is etc. I've been trying to work with the homesecuritystore.com where I bought the system from. They just take a incredible amount of time to respond back to even a small or simple question.
The manuals are written for professional installers as it is assumed that DIY'ers (unless very skilled) will not be doing alarms.....just the facts of life.
It seems like you are going over 8 zones and that may be the problem.....check section 201 to be sure that each zone is set to the the correct partition.
What zone numbers are set for wireless and what zone numbers are set for hard-wire?
Have you set each zone for NC and NO EOLR (end of line resistors)?
When you use the arrow keys...what zones does it say are not ready?
Also try *2 and then arrow over to see what zones are not ready.
You are probably real close with the programming and we may get it sorted out.
Well so far I have the 2x "WIRED" PIR set plugged into Zone 1 and Zone 2 in the panel. I'm not sure how they are setup really. And I do not have a resistor on their as I was unsure if they needed one or not, and if so which kind.
I've just been trying to get the system to arm itself, but It says Gen Sys something, I can't remember off the top of my head. As well as it says Secure the System.
I know I'm somewhat close to having this thing figured out, just a few small simple steps/button pushes and It would be all done. I just wish somebody had a more Alarm for dummies kind of guides for this system. That would go step by step, as I'm one of those people that need something like that.
But everyday I just continue to work on this thing for a few hours until I can't take it no more and just come back to check forums, and emails from the company. Hoping I can find a solution.
Thanks again for all of your help, I know this alarm will get done soon.
"Gen Sys" is probably General System Tamper or General System Trouble. Look in appendix "D" at the end of the installation manual for possible solutions to this error.
You will NOT be able to arm the system until all troubles are cleared and all zones are closed.
There is no step by step procedure for alarm panels as every situation is different from a previous installation.
The goal is to show you how to enter values into the DSC operating system, not to tell you what those values should be (although we will include some examples of values that you may wish to program). If you have a 5500 keypad, so much the better, but none of the programming techniques that will be discussed here are keypad-dependent, and programming can be accomplished with any keypad.
Very important: Before you even attempt to begin programming, you should have a programming worksheet in front of you. With new systems, youll want the Installation Manual (not the Quick Install). This document has the Programming Worksheet in the back. Before you begin programming you'll have the worksheet filled out with the values you wish to use, but even if you don't, the worksheet is an indispensable roadmap that will guide you through the process. It also contains the default values for all the programming fields.
Although the term "Master Code" sounds impressive, the master code is simply an access code which gives the system owner a little bit more control over the system than hewould have with an ordinary access code. In order to program the system, however, you'll need to use what is known as the "Installers Code." For ALL the new panels, the default Installers Code is 5555. You can always find the code in the instruction manual or in the programming worksheet. However, to avoid confusion, its wise to leave the installers code alone until everything has been programmed, tested, and is working properly.
In order to program your system, you must enter what is known as "Installer's Programming". The command for this is *8; this is followed by the Installer's Code. So to begin programming you'll enter:
Installers Code
The program light will flash, and the armed light will turn on. This means you are in Installer's Programming, and the system is waiting for you to tell it which section you want to program.
It is DSCs practice to discuss "keypad programming" first in the manuals. But unless you are dividing your system into two or more partitions (and if you have to ask what that means, then trust me, you are not using partitions). So let's get to the good stuff.
Basic System Programming begins with zone definitions. Since the definitions themselves are explained at length in the manuals, I won't bother to go through that here. So let's say you want to define your Zone No. 1 as an instant zone (which means if that zone is tripped while armed, the system will immediately alarm without any warning). The zone definition for instant is 03. The worksheet tells you that the definitions for zones 1 through 8 are programmed in section 001 (the new series of panels contains zones 1 through 16). So you'll enter
001 (to enter that section). The armed light will turn off; the ready light will turn on. Then enter:
03 (the definition for zone 1)
# (to exit section 001)
# (to exit programming completely)
So the entire sequence is:
Installers Code
There! You've just programmed zone 1 as an instant zone. Now let's go further. Let's define zone 1 as Instant (03), zone 2 as Delay 1 (01), zone 3 as Delay, stay/away (06), zone 4 as Standard 24-hour fire (0, and zones 5, 6, 7, and 8 as null zones (00), which you wont be using for now. Here goes:
Installers Code
001 (the section number)
03 (Instant for zone 1)
01 (Delay1 for zone 2)
06 (Delay, stay/away for zone 3)
08 (Standard 24-hour fire for zone 4)
00 (null for zone 5)
00 (null for zone 6)
00 (null for zone 7)
00 (null for zone 8 )
Now you've defined all eight zones. Please note that you must start with zone 1 and proceed in order with the other zones. There is no way, for example, to just start with zone 5. Notice also that we did NOT enter the zone numbers, just the definitions. The system knows that the first two digits you enter in section 001 will be the definition for zone 1, the next two digits will define zone 2, etc. Remember, the worksheet shows you the default, or factory, setting for every value. If you're happy with the way it is, you don't need to change it, but you still need to enter all the zones in order. You should also know that the zone definitions used in our example are not conventional and were chosen for illustrative purposes only. Your zone definitions will be based on the way you want your zones to function in your system. And one more thing: you can exit the section at any time by hitting the # key. In other words, if you arent going to enter any more definitions after youve finished zone 5, for example, you dont need to enter zones 6, 7, and 8. Just press # and youre outta there!
When you finished programming section 001, you pressed ##. The first # got you out of section 001, and the second # got you out of programming altogether. If you want to continue programming when you finish a section, just use one #, and you can go on to another section. Let's do section 005 (System Times).
Here there is a small difference between the old and new systems. The new panels allow different timing for each partition, so you must tell the system which partition you are setting up. So, if you are programming a 1616/1832/1864, choose section 005 and enter a two digit number representing the partition; for our purposes, well assume its Partition 1 (the only one you are using). Then proceed to the next paragraph. If you are programming one of the old panels, then ignore my previous sentence.
As you see on the worksheet, there are four system times to be programmed: entry delay 1, entry delay 2, exit delay, and bell cut-off. Let's say you are happy with the default values for the last three items, but you want delay 1 to be longer (say 60 seconds). Begin Installers Programming, then enter 005 to program the System Times. Since entry delay 1 is the first item in that section, enter 060 (for 60 seconds), then # to exit that section with the other three values unchanged. What if you were satisfied with the default values for entry delay 1 and 2, but you wanted to change the exit delay from 120 to 60 seconds? After entering 005 to go into that section, you have to first enter 030 for entry delay 1, then 045 for entry delay 2 (those are the default values). Only then could you enter the 060 for exit delay, followed by # to exit. So even though you didn't change the first two items, you still had to enter them before you could get to the third item, just as you did in defining the zones.
How about an example? New system, leaving Delay1 at default of 30 seconds, change Delay2 to 60 seconds, change the Exit Delay to 90 seconds. Heres how:
Installers Code
005 (the programming section)
01 (the partition) SKIP THIS ENTRY FOR THE OLD SYSTEMS
030 (30 seconds for Delay1)
060 (60 seconds for Delay2)
090 (90 seconds for the Exit Delay)
## (Exit Programming)
By now, you should be getting the hang of this "programming" thing. There is one other type of entry that you need to understand. Look at section 013 in the worksheet. This section contains the First System Option Code. There are eight items in this section and each item can be toggled on or off by pressing its number. Zone numbers 1 through 8 on the keypad display show the current settings for these options. By default, options 1, 2, 4, 5, and 8 are off. Options 3, 6, and 7 are on. If you look at the keypad, only numbers 3, 6, and 7 are on. Let's say you want to use normally closed loops instead of End-Of-Line resistors. You would want to turn option 1 on, so you would enter 013 to get into that section, then press 1 to toggle option 1 on (the number 1 will turn on). You can toggle any of the 8 options on or off by simply pressing the corresponding number. This applies to any of the sections where you must turn options on or off, rather than entering values.
When Keypad Programming was mentioned earlier, you were told that you could, and probably should, skip it at the beginning (and perhaps forever). Heres why: keypad programming includes the following items:
Partition and slot assignment
Function key definitions
Zone labels for 5500 keypads
When keypads are installed they assume a default partition and slot assignment. They all default to Partition 1, and unless you are going to divide your system into multiple partitions, that is exactly where you want them (you cant have zero partitions). As for the slot (a software address that identifies the keypad to the system), LED and 5501 keypads automatically default to slot 1, and 5500 keypads to slot 8. So if you have only one keypad, or one 5500 and one non-5500, the job is done as soon as you power up. If you have more than one keypad of the same kind, you may need to assign them to different slots. This will be the case if you are using the zone terminal on one or more of the keypads (keypad zones), or if you want the keypads to be supervised by the system.
So the bottom line is this: in most typical residential installations, the keypad programming (except for zone labels) is done automatically. If you arent using any keypad zones, there is probably no reason for you to bother with the partition/slot assignment. On the other hand, if you elect to do the keypad programming and arent very careful making your entries, you could accidentally assign the keypad in a way that will cause you considerable frustration
If your system is not going to be monitored, you should disable TLM (telephone line monitor) in section 015, option 7. But the purpose of this tutorial was to show you how to program, not what to program. You still have to make the decisions about what you want your system to do and how you want it to act.
Okay well I've made some progress since our last posts. Come to find out I needed to "restart" the system by unplugging the battery, and disconnect the power to clear the flash memory.
I've now gotten all of the wireless devices working, and setup/mounted/tested. This includes the wireless PIR, wireless Door Contacts, and wireless key fob. I currently have all the wireless devices on 06 for zone attributes which i believe is delay stay/away.
I'm still having an issue with the "Wired" PIRs. The panel displays them as a faulted zone. I have them set as NC. And I currently do not have them hooked up with a resistor as I do not know if they need to be.
So with the exception of the "wired" pir's the system is pretty much complete!

Report: Apple Cuts 0.7 Percent of iPad Profit to Give Factory Workers Big Raise
Jason Mick
May 31, 2010 9:15 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Apple will lose 0.7 percent of its iPad profits to give the workers that assemble its device a 20 percent raise. Workers at Foxconn are currently struggling after a string of suicides and enduring reportedly poor working conditions.
(Source: Kin Cheung/AP)
A small cut to Apple's profit margin may make a big difference in workers' lives
It took a
string of suicides
to spur it to action, but Apple is finally taking a big step towards trying to ensure that the workers who build its bestselling iPads, iPods, and iPhones enjoy a decent standard of living.
Apple's products are almost entirely manufactured by Foxconn, a China-based unit of Taiwan's Hon Hai Precision Industry. Foxconn builds the sleek devices at its Shenzhen plant in Southern China. While many companies (Microsoft, HP, Dell, Nintendo, Sony, etc.) utilize Foxconn's manufacturing services, the Shenzhen facility primarily serves Apple -- and it's also the site of all of the recent suicides.
The suicides were perhaps foreshadowed by an internal probe by Apple that revealed that several of its international manufacturing partners were
committing abusive employment practices
, such as using child labor or demanding unpaid overtime. According to reports, the latter was
particularly common-place
at the Shenzhen facility.
According to
a report
by Chinese news organization
, Apple has now quietly committed a dramatic gesture, offering to finance the majority of the
20 percent raise
in pay to the Shenzhen workers. The raise was long promised to workers, but had remained undelivered for some time now.
The 20 percent raise will cost Apple a little, but not very much. It is estimated to raise the costs of labor for the iPad from 2.3 percent of the cost to 3.0 percent of the cost. Apple still looks to make hundreds in profit off of each unit sold (breakdowns estimated Apple makes
at least $200
per iPad sold).
For the Foxconn workers living in the factory city of Shenzhen, though, the raise will make a world of difference. While some will question why Apple didn't push for higher wages in the first place, it's important to appreciate that it is at least taking action now. One can only hope that HP, Dell, Microsoft, and others step up to the plate and offer to subsidize similar raises at their manufacturing locations -- even if they haven't been struck by the spate of suicides that occurred at Apple's plant.
Apple has not yet officially acknowledge the report, though it has previously stated that it was
concerned about the working conditions at Shenzhen
and that it was evaluating its options.
In other news,
a fire broke out
at the Shenzhen plant this week. It reportedly was unrelated to the suicides. The fire did not do any major damage to equipment, according to reports, and is not expected to impact Apple's production schedule.
"We are going to continue to work with them to make sure they understand the reality of the Internet. A lot of these people don't have Ph.Ds, and they don't have a degree in computer science." -- RIM co-CEO Michael Lazaridis

How Unilever, Philips Healthcare, And Jermaine Dupri Master Digital Engagement
Posted by Christine Overby on April 23, 2012
- 505 Recommendations
- 0 comments
In 2007, Forrester published our first report on engagement. We defined it as "the level of involvement, interaction, intimacy, and influence that an individual has with a brand over time." Fast forward five years: marketers still prioritize engagement in both principle and practice. Why? Two reasons, really. First, it's the right aspiration. When a brand gets it right and earns a place in the ongoing dialogue, its customers become its fiercest advocates and a kind of outsourced marketing department. Second, it's hard to do. Today, we're talking about ongoing interactions that somehow manage to stay authentic and personal despite the explosion of devices and customer touchpoints. So, as marketers, I believe that we prioritize engagement because we enjoy the challenge (Solving it makes victory all the sweeter!).
On May 23 in London, I'm hosting our inaugural Interactive Marketing Summit on the topic of Mastering Digital Engagement. Our external keynotes include Debbie Weinstein, Senior Director of Global Media Innovation at Unilever; Clive Roach, Social Media Strategist at Philips Healthcare; and Jermaine Dupri, Grammy-award winning producer, CEO of So So Def Recordings, hip-hop artist, and songwriter. I'm a bit in awe of their fabulousness. You can expect our keynotes to address key points such as:
- How to stay personal and still scale. Debbie likes to talk about earned media in terms of "over the garden gate" conversations due to the personal, high-trust nature of the exchange. That said, in any successful fast-moving consumer goods company, what matters is moving product at scale. So how do the two mesh together? Brands like Marmite and Dove routinely identify key influential consumers to help tell the story — in Marmite's case reaching the right 30 in order to reach 1 million for the launch of a new product.
- How to make engagement work in a B2B context. Clive talks about the need to stay engaged with key influencers throughout the B2B sales cycle, which is much longer than most B2C situations. This requires upfront research on their needs and interests, and the channels they use to get their jobs done. The efforts must always be grounded in the business objective. Clive shared with me, "The goal is not to be great at Social Media. The goal is to be good or better at business because of Social Media."
- How to connect with the always-on consumer. Jermaine recently founded Global 14, a social networking site focused on hip-hop, fashion, and R&B. While the appeal of the site cuts across age groups, there's clearly a strong following of young "hyper-connected" consumers. The site has become a kind of living lab for learning about and reaching this group. I'll be sitting down with Jermaine to discuss the unique expectations of these consumers, and how they change the way that artists and brands alike must communicate.
In the weeks leading up to the summit, I will be hosting a Q&A with each of our fabulous speakers on the Forrester Interactive Marketing blog. So expect more online and even more at the event. There are details of the Summit here, or you can follow the Summit on LinkedIn here. I hope to see you in London!

A quick look at Brad Lincoln's pitch location
Unfortunately, due to real life responsibilities, I have been unable to watch either of Brad Lincoln's past two starts. However, I wanted to share a quick nugget of Pitch f/x data that I noticed this morning.
Below are Lincoln's pitch locations from last night's game, in which he allowed five runs over five innings, including two home runs.
Here are the pitch locations from his previous start on June 30th, in which he pitched seven shutout innings.
As a reminder, these graphs are from the catcher's point of view. Clearly, in his strong start a week ago, Lincoln was pounding the bottom of the zone. Last night, Lincoln consistently left the ball up, giving the Astros a handful of juicy pitches to destroy.
Again, I did not see last night's game. I haven't e...

Kilmarnock 1-0 Hearts
- From the section Football
Liam Kelly's first-half penalty proved to be the difference as Kilmarnock overcame Hearts in a Boxing Day Scottish Premier League encounter.
The midfielder fired the hosts into the lead on 26 minutes, following Andy Webster's foul on James Dayton.
Hearts battled hard for an equaliser with Andy Driver and Mehdi Touil forcing saves from Cammy Bell.
And the Killie keeper also denied Callum Paterson after the substitute had gone through on goal.
Kilmarnock move up to sixth, while Hearts slip to ninth ahead of their final SPL fixtures of 2012 on Saturday.
Hearts were prominent in the opening quarter with Driver firing over and a deflected Ryan Stevenson blocked by Bell.
Killie, who had a Paul Heffernan goal disallowed for offside, stretched their visitors on the flanks and, from one such attack, Dayton was taken out by Webster in the box.
Kelly marked his return from suspension with a confident low shot past Jamie MacDonald.
Gordon Smith thundered a half-volley into Bell's net moments later but a foul by Sutton in the build-up meant the goal did not stand.
The forceful runs of Dayton were tormenting Hearts and the midfielder flashed a shot wide after cutting in from the left.
Driver crossed for Smith to head wide before the break and and another weaving run by the winger in the second half ended with a shot that Bell tipped over.
Bell was then caught by Sutton as the forward slid in to try and convert a mis-hit Smith shot and the Hearts man was booked as the keeper received treatment.
The Killie stopper recovered and was called into the action again to block a fierce Mehdi Taouil volley.
Hearts responded angrily when Rory McKenzie went down in their box after no contact from nearby Ryan McGowan, with referee Steven McLean electing not to book the Killie player.
Paterson had replaced Smith and had an excellent chance to level when he escaped the Killie defence and raced through.
But the substitute shot a little too early and Bell got down well to make the save.
Killie's lead was looking ever more fragile as Hearts poured players forward and a Marius Zaliukas shot deflected narrowly wide of the hosts' goal.
The Hearts captain was perhaps fortunate to receive only a booking after clipping the heels of Heffernan as the forward sought to beat MacDonald to a threw ball.
Hearts mounted more pressure in the closing stages but Kilmarnock held firm to claim all three points.

Tee hee, Gloria!
I just loved this. He is so keeseable! I tell our Mickey Finn that I am going to kees him ALL OVER and he loves it. I then proceed to kiss his head and snout all over. I pronounce kiss as kees or keese when I say it, too.
Love it! Chance is a very handsome boy, I'd have to kiss his snout, too if I saw him.
What a good looking boy, who could possibly pass up kissing that adorable face?
What an adorable little guy. I love those teefies, too!!
Oh, love those little teefies!
What a handsome boy!!!! SO KISSABLE :)
That nose was meant for kissing!
Look at the love and sweet longing in that beautiful face! How lucky are you, Gloria???!?
Mr. Chance wears his pink proudly, just another sign to the world that his momma really loves him. Don't know what is going on behind the camera, but he sure is paying close attention, like that is really such a surprise!

It was a positive start for the 2012 champs, falling to Team USA, 17-13, on Sunday afternoon in Lake Buena Vista, Fla. Loyola will have to tighten up some defensive concepts — their slow sliding ways didn't mix well with USA midfield isolations — but not many college teams feature that kind of firepower and shooting/dodging acumen. Nine different goal-scorers from the Hounds is a great sign.
For Week Two, it blows my mind how advanced teams (Notre Dame and Loyola) are conceptually. The Greyhounds have two more scrimmages against North Carolina and Harvard before opening their season for real against Delaware on Feb. 16. What they must realize is that they'll get everybody's best shot.
The Champion Challenge remains a jewel of the preseason: Teams can get a lot done in the sun. They have 24 gorgeous grass fields at ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex. US Lacrosse once again delivered a first-class event for the players and fans. The local turnout of high school and youth players was impressive, as both Notre Dame and the U.S. Team gave clinics.
Justin Ward — From film study, he played exceptionally well in the NCAA Tournament and kept that trend alive, providing three assists against the U.S. and pressing the corner with authority and confidence. He's very underrated and productive, and he has a superb assist/turnover ratio, if anybody kept that stat.
Mike Sawyer — He took a beating after burying some liquid smoke. Why wasn't that hit a two-minute foul? A head-shot hit to a defenseless player deserves more than one minute. Sawyer gets his reputation from his rapid shot, but his play around the goal in two-man games was notable from 2012 film study.
Nikko Pontrello — The sophomore has taken a quantum leap forward and will either start on attack or run midfield.
Brian Schultz — The lefty got runs on EMO and played well. He is a new face in the mix with good skills, and I liked the effort and focus he brought to practice on Saturday afternoon.
Zach Herreweyers — The lefty Canadian from the Hill Academy was left in Baltimore with the flu.
Davis Butts — What we saw confirmed his ability to alley dodge right-handed, pass well off the dodge and play without the ball. I'm not sure if he has a left hand.
Chris Layne — Utilized as an invert dodger in 2012, Layne will get prime dodging opportunities this spring against shorties.
Sean O'Sullivan — He can snipe from mid-range and finish down low on EMO. He rounds out a first midfield line that had 39 assists last year.
Phil Dobson — Tall, experienced and should get to 10 goals this year.
Harry Kutner — The St. John's transfer had 30 points a year ago. He completed his degree and now takes graduate-level courses at Loyola University. The Hounds really needed some lefty help. Kutner fit in right away with three assists and is running on EMO.
Kevin Ryan — A junior, and a serviceable second midfielder who scored on a well-timed cut.
Midfielder Jeff Chase, who redshirted last year, was seen walking around in a boot after twisting an ankle in practice.
Scott Ratliff — This was a great test for Ratliff, covering world-class athletes. He did well. He was especially helpful on the wings of face-offs, where Loyola was able to muck its way to a virtual toss-up in that matchup.
Pat Frazier — I really liked what I saw from him in practice on Saturday. He's a medium-sized defender who played hard and with good tempo. He is in the mix for PT behind Ratliff or subbing down low.
Josh Hawkins — He ran the field well, and for the most part covered well in his one-on-one matchups. Matt Gibson smoked him down the left alley when Hawkins whiffed on a cross check. His goal was a typical play where the coaches were yelling, "NO, NO, NO.....Yes!" Worth seeing again for sure.
Pat Laconi — Very sturdy and fundamentally sound.
Kyle Duffy — The Greyhounds will need production from this spot on the depth chart, as Hawkins and Laconi log a lot of miles. Good weekend.
Joe Fletcher — He got tested by some really athletic dodgers at X. This was a terrific experience; it's very hard to duplicate the dodging ability of a Chazz Woodson, Steele Stanwick, Billy Bitter and Matt Danowski. Players improve when confronted with new challenges, and this game should make Fletcher better.
Reid Acton — Strong and mature, Acton must continue to improve his footwork, drop step and hip turn and fundamentals while holding at GLE. I like him a lot; he adds a toughness and consistency because of his vast experience.
T.J. Harris — I didn't notice him, good or bad … which is probably a positive sign. I must go back and re-watch with an eye on Loyola's new third defender.
Jack Runkel — The lefty looks bigger. He played very well in the first quarter, and then saw some shots he is unlikely to see on Saturdays this spring — specifically the Kyle Harrison lefty jump shot to the near upper corner.
*Quint will be shadowing the officials on Saturday at the Bellarmine vs. UMBC scrimmage in Catonsville, Md., to better learn the new rules, and game administration.

Any Female Hunters Out There
I am new to the hunting world. I just started deer hunting this past year. I did not get anything this year. I would be interested in speaking with other female hunters. I notice there are not many products for females and I have had to buy some male clothing because I cannot find what I need. Any tips, tricks etc would be appreciated.
Thanks! I'm trying t
Thanks! I'm trying to figrue out how to use my mini recording studio, a h2n zoom unit. Awesome but I'm old school so I'm dumbfounded on the terminology which means I can't figrue beans out about it. Trial and error time
basicly "She Safari" is all that I can think of right off the bat...I'm not sure what type of hunting you do but I must say that I am not a big fan of their patterns they use...seems like it's more towards Africa rather than America but I suppose it depends on your terrain...I really like cabela's hunting jackets, basicly I by clothing from Bass Pro and Cabela's but I really don't get anything fancy (like with the articfical leaves on the pants and jackets)
Welcome to the site. Sorry I don't know of any female clothing sites.
welcome to the campfire .try bass pro and cabelas they have a fair amount of womens cloths.also we dont discriminate here so ask away with your hunting questions
Hello and welcome to this site. Cabela's and Bass pro are both great places to outfit yourself with just about anything you need. You will get great responces to any questions (even hunting ones):lol: here!
Don't forget Gander Mountain, they have a good selection for women also.

ANTANANARIVO – An electoral court in Madagascar has removed the names of three high-profile presidential contenders, including strongman Andry Rajoelina, whose disputed candidacies had stalled the polls aimed at ending a four-year political crisis. The new electoral court has been meeting to "clean" up the list of 41 candidates approved by its predecessor in May.
The other two candidates who have been dropped for the revised list were ousted leader Marc Ravalomanana's wife, Lalao, and former President Didier Ratsiraka. Their candidacies, which did not meet electoral rules, have been internationally condemned and have delayed the much-awaited vote expected to lift the Indian Ocean island out of its political and economic quandary.

In the wake of hearing that there is a push in Montana being made by a group of citizens to ban moto mallards in the state. I have been thinking about some of the regulations that we have in Montana that seem to be absurd. I don't know what some of these regulations are trying to protect, but feel like many of these regulations designed to protect the wildlife actually end up harming populations and taking away from the experience. Here are just a few that I think are ridiculous. Let me know if you see something that I am missing, but I just don't get it. Let me know of other laws you guys think are missing the point of protecting wildlife and decreasing the enjoyment of the hunt.
1. Montana does not let you use Illuminocs on your arrows. Illuminocs are a device on the knock (back end of an arrow) that lights up a small LED light on the knock after your shot. This device does not make the arrow anymore accurate, faster, or effective. If anything it will slow down your arrow a little bit. This device, in my mind should be required of all hunters. The only things this device does are help the hunter find his arrow faster, avoid leaving a lost arrow with super sharp razor blades in the forrest that could harm animals, and leads hunters to their arrow faster so that they can determine by blood on the arrow or lack there of if they have hit thier animal or missed. Am I missing something here?
2. Montana does not allow you to bait bears. This is ridiculous to me because baiting of bears actually is better for the bear population than not. In Idaho you are allowed to bait bears, and they have a healthier population because of it. In Montana many people end up shooting the first bear they see without regard to size or sex of the animal. From what I have heard our harvest is about 50/50 males and females. In Idaho you can sit over your bait and choose from a variety of bears to make sure that you shoot a large adult male. This leaves more females to breed and takes out a male who will kill a female's cubs in order to force her into breeding mode again. That is part of the reason why you can get 2 bear tags in the state of Idaho. If you have a moral objection to using bait, I suggest that next time you go fishing, you should leave your fishing rod at home and just take your net, because fishing with live or artificial lures designed to imitate food is no different morally than using food to attract a bear.
3. Can anyone tell me why we can hunt ducks 30 minutes before sunrise, but can not hunt ducks 30 minutes after sunset? I don't understand what this regulation is protecting.
4. Why can you shoot a gun at upland birds without a plug in your gun, but have to limit yourself to 3 shots on ducks? The limit is 7 ducks. I can't figure out why it matters if you shoot your limit in rounds of 3 shells as opposed to 5 shells. This law hurts harvests by increasing the amount of time it takes to reload and swat a cripple on the water before it dives or swims off to hide. It also could lead to more groups of ducks being shot at and harassed by hunters. I would rather be able to get my limit faster and not bother a bunch of other groups of ducks that dont need to be shot at. Another side point on this one is if my gun can accept 5 shells, I will get a ticket regardless if I am only hunting with 3 shells in my gun. This seems to go against everything American (being guilty of a crime for having the potential to break the law). Yes my gun could hold the extra shells, but isn't and I will get a ticket. If we are going to give tickets for having the potential to break the law and not actually breaking the law, I think you might as well charge me with murder too, because even though I am not going to do it, my weapon is capable of being turned on my partner and shooting him. If you have an objection to this, do you feel that everyone with a car that will do over 75 miles an hour be charged with speeding because they have the potential to speed? Seems like the same logic to me.
5. Does anyone else feel that we are wounding more birds with steel each year than we were killing with lead poisioning? I don't think that we should go back to lead, but steel sucks. Is there not anything affordable that could replace steel without being 2$ a shell?

Excellent product

I use this for covers in bookbinding. It is stiff and strong, and takes glue well. I also use it for making small boxes and trays.

Crescent #110 Illustration Board 30" x 40"
By Art Center College of Design old timer
from Temecula,Ca.
I've painted 1500 paintings on this board since it was introduced in the 1970's. Two years ago it was reformatted and is now an inferior product. When using watercolor or gouache on it it warps severely. The surface is fragile as is the backing . Both back and front sides peel off with the use of masking tape.The paper is reluctant to accept the paint and one must keep applying over and over and leaves a somewhat ragged paint edge as compared to the old board. I hope Crescent Co. will bring back the old board even if it costs more.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I've used Crescent boards for years
By tomc

I do large crayon drawings. I like the slight texture. The thickness of the 24-ply gives great stability and is easily mounted.
Best Illustration board!
By LDSartstudios

Crescent No. 110 Cold Press Illustration Board is the best surface for my art style. I use this illustration board for all of my illustrations. I first transfer my drawing onto the illustration board, refine the drawing, use a light wash of acrylics, render everything with my Prismacolor Colored Pencils and then go back for any touch up SPFX with the acrylics, such as highlights and accents. I have been looking for the best surface for my style and technique for my colored pencils. I've tried bristol boards to other illustration boards, but the Crescent No. 10 Cold Press works the best! I have just purchased more of the illustration board so I always have it when I need it. I will always use this board and never use anything else. Highly recommended! Price is amazing and your getting more for what you paid for!
...this board is tough and consistent, a
By chris the triathlete
from near syracuse, ny
I regularly abuse the Crescent Illustration boards by splashing, rubbing and scrubbing with brushes and gouache paints. The surface never lets me down! When the paper begins to break down a bit, I can let it dry, and smooth it out with sandpaper. It's indestructible. Since it's double weight, I can really soak it, and it warps very little. If it does warp, I wet down the back side, let it dry, and it's once again flat. Great product!
I would buy this product again.
By Bob the Aspiring Artist
from Salisbury, Ma
I have this product before and I am always pleased with it!
more reliable than my local art supply
I do large paintings in gouache, so need the double weight illustration board to help from warping. When I purchase at my local art store, often they have only a few boards...sometimes none. Same goes for Winsor and Newton gouache. Ordering from DB means that I know in advance what's available, and that it will be delivered in short order! Thanks

Crescent Illustration Board Cod Press
By Elizabeth P
from Los Angeles
For years I have used this illustration board for very tight watercolor. For the last few years the quality has steadily declined. I find myself painting over and over my work because the absorption has become so poor. I am now trying to find a different material to paint on.
