You mean Podesta won't be helping Hillary? Hmmmm
Podesta is a very bad dude—totally a Clintonoid.
Him being in the WH is no accident.
He is preparing groundwork for something.
Maybe Hillary being VP if Joe gets promoted, using the 25th amendment to get rid of Zero.
Who knows?
But I do know I do not like Podesta being anywhere near the White House.
Once was quite enough.
There's no way Podesta and Jarrett can exist in the same space without trouble. He'll get along with her about as well as Rahm did.
Whoah the PODman is back. Recycled spin.
They believe that the solution to all problems is more and more BS.
It suggests that Carney is not getting it done anymore.
Flop sweat. They must be terrified if they're reaching out to the Clintonista roster.
So is this an extra salaried position or did someone leave?
President Obama is hearkening to Bill Clinton days, calling on the former presidents chief of staff, John Podesta, to help sell some of his more controversial second-term agenda items and pave the way for better poll numbers.
Mr. Podesta has worked in a quiet, behind-the-scenes manner for Mr. Obamas transition to office after the 2008 elections. But now hes formally joining the inner circle in the White House, signing on to an adviser role for a year, The Washington Post reported.
Mr. Obamas turn to Mr. Podesta comes at a critical time. The Obamacare rollout has proven a difficult mountain to climb, leading the president to shelve some of his other promised initiatives for a time, including immigration. The presidents also fighting a massive public relations battle, with recent polls showing the public neither trusts nor admires him to the same degree that swept him into office in the first place.

damage control for Odumbo. too much juvenille antics. Demorats want little manchild to grow up. Desparation on the part of Obama he needs to get the mojo back or his wet dream of the Obamareich is over
Expect Joe Biden to suddenly retire, due to some unexplained illness.
Hillary will be nominated for VP.
The Senate's new rules mean no problem for confirmation, merely a formality.
I guess when the customary team of lying bastards can't lie effectively enough, you call in an expert.
The RAT goes back on the SINKING SHIP!!! LOVE it!!
We had lies before, sure. But in the 90's with the Clinton scandals, "spin" really too off and I think Podesta might have been the architect of that.
In short, Podesta showed the Clintons that they could gain by force what they might fail to achieve through legislation. "Stroke of the pen. Law of the land. Kind of cool," quipped White House aide Paul Begala to The New York Times on July 5, 1998, in response to questions about the Clintons' growing disdain for the will of Congress.
Project Podesta's most ambitious exercise was the war on Yugoslavia which Clinton launched by executive order on April 13, 1999, in defiance of the U.S. Congress and the United Nations.
In September 2012, Podesta joined representatives of 50 U.S. companies — 10 of which had ties to the Podesta Group, a Washington, DC-based lobbying firm founded by John Podesta and his brother Tony — on a State Department- and U.S. Chamber of Commerce-sponsored four-day tour of Cairo, Egypt, which was now led by the Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated Mohamed Morsi. The purpose of the trip was to deliver the message that Egypt is open for business, and the U.S. business community is ready to invest.
Will Podesta be a peer of ValJar? Or,,is ValJar now a liability and on her way out?
There's not much in either for the Zeks out here in the hinterlands to celebrate.
Chicago thugs turn to Arkansas Mafia.
"Spinner" is a light treatment. This guy is Josef Goebbels himself; he's Hunter Madsen, Marshall Kirk, and James Carville all wrapped up together (in a "threesome" of mendacity).
Heavyweight megaliar, and keeper of Media Matters slave-troll David Brock's chains.

Future leaders in action
Tomorrow's leaders in conservation are out gaining experience today.
Sean Murphy, a 2005 New London-Spicer graduate, and Andrew East, a 2006 Willmar graduate, are both working on summer conservation or research projects that will benefit or are already benefiting wildlife, habitat and conservation.
Murphy, who just graduated with a landscape architecture degree from North Dakota State University, is working in Colorado on making improvements in Rocky Mountain National Park.
East, a natural resources major at Northland College in Ashland, Wis., is doing research for the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources and the college in northeastern Wisconsin.
Murphy is working for the American Conservation Corps, which was founded by the Rocky Mountain Nature Association.
"We've built a bridge, have improved trails and have done various conservation projects (in the park)," Murphy said in a telephone interview earlier in August.
According to a press release from the RMNA, Murphy is the Assistant Leader of a six-person crew which is working 11 weeks in the park.
Murphy worked at the park last summer, also.
"The experience is a great service opportunity," he said. "You get to come here in the summer and enjoy the outdoors in one of the most beautiful parts of the country."
East is focusing on research and field work in his project, LoonWatch, which is a program of Northland College's Sigurd Olson Environmental Institute. He and a partner are collecting data from 28 lakes in the Trout Lake Watershed to help track the effects of climate change on lakes.
"... the climate change portion (the part that Northland is involved with) is essentially baseline data collection to help current models of hydrogeology created by the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) relate back to lake-dependent species (one section of all the wildlife/fish/etc. in Wisconsin) so that the IPCC's predictions of the changes in lake trophic status 20, 50, 100 years down the road will be able to be used to make predictions about the probability of loon's lake usage in the future," East explained in an email. "To put it shortly, when northern Wisconsin becomes similar to Arkansas, where will we find loons? What I am doing is collecting data that will be joined with the IPCC's models so that current hydrogeologic models/predictions can allow us to make predictions on living species (the loons are part of the lake-dependent species)."
The IPCC is "the leading body for the assessment of climate change, established by the United Nations Environment Programme and the World Meteorological Organization to provide the world with a clear scientific view on the current state of climate change and its potential environmental and socio-economic consequences," according to the IPCC's web site, www.ipcc.ch.
Outdoors experiences influenced both young men to follow a path into conservation.
"I just love the outdoors. I'm actually an Eagle Scout," said Murphy, who will work toward a master's degree in architecture. "I just want to do something to help people out. I get to enjoy what I'm doing and that is great."
"I'm drawn to the natural resources field for a few reasons, one being forced to work outside all the time, but otherwise spending my childhood hunting, fishing, and exploring my family's wooded property were huge in creating a desire to be involved in the science that allows things like that to happen," East wrote.
And both will use their experiences to further their career goals. For Murphy, working on projects in Rocky Mountain National Park gives him the experience he needs to some day build trails and other structures in environmentally-sensitive areas.
East, who has a year left on his bachelor's degree, is getting hands-on work that will look good on applications to graduate school.
"I am gaining many things from this work; specifically, it is direct field research experience that will open a lot of doors for graduate school and public agency work that is beyond general labor," he noted. "Beyond the direct things, I gain a lot of personal satisfaction from working in a field and science that guides policy that affects so much and is so important to so many people."
The future for conservation appears to be in capable hands.

No need for Ombudsman on Burnside: Wortley
Local Government Relations Minister Russell Wortley says ordering the South Australian Ombudsman to investigate a former Burnside Council would be a waste of money.
The Opposition moved a motion in the Legislative Council that the Ombudsman conduct a lawful inquiry, unlike the now-abandoned investigation commissioned by the Government.
The SA Supreme Court found some terms of reference in that inquiry were invalid and the Government then referred the evidence to the Crown Solicitor for review.
Mr Wortley told Parliament he opposed a further investigation by the Ombudsman.
"I think to tie up the Ombudsman's resources in something that has dragged on for two years now I think is a waste of money," he said.
"I've put in place a situation where the Crown Solicitor's office will be going through all the material and if they find any evidence of allegations they'll be referring it to the DPP (Director of Public Prosecutions)."

Bendtner accepts defeat
Nicklas Bendtner admitted that Arsenal had been beaten by the better team following their loss to Barcelona.
Last Updated: 06/04/10 11:07pm
Nicklas Bendtner admitted that Arsenal had been beaten by the better team following their UEFA Champions League elimination.
Bendtner fired the Gunners into a shock lead against Barcelona in the second leg of their UEFA Champions League quarter-final at Camp Nou, following a 2-2 draw at Emirates Stadium last week.
But Lionel Messi then inspired a stunning comeback, scoring all four goals in a 4-1 victory on the night that secured Barca's place in the last four with a 6-3 aggregate triumph.
Bendtner had no complaints about the outcome and saluted the Spanish side for the brilliance of their play.
"They were the better team and sometimes you lose like that," the Denmark striker told Sky Sports.
"They played some really good football.
"If you are going to lose, you want to lose by the other team playing you off the pitch. They were stronger than us today."
Discussing Messi's individual performance, Bendtner added: "He's a phenomenal player and he showed that again tonight."
Goalkeeper Manuel Almunia also lavished praise on Messi, admitting he faced a torrid time in trying to repel the threat of the Argentina star.
"You try to anticipate what he is going to do but it is very difficult," said Almunia.
"He can do whatever he wants and at any moment, and it's difficult to stop this kind of player."

At the peak of his fame, Bernie Fuchs' work was more widely admired—and imitated—than any other contemporary illustrator. At the age of 30 he was named "Artist of the Year" by the Artists Guild of New York. By 1975, he was the youngest illustrator ever elected to the Society of Illustrators Hall of Fame. At the time, his work was everywhere—in national ad campaigns for automotive companies and major brands, and in national magazines such as McCall's, Redbook, Cosmopolitan, TV Guide, Sports Illustrated, and many more. His work was included in the Society of Illustrators first annual book in 1959, and appeared in every year after for the duration of his career, a feat unmatched by any other illustrator. Now at last a major retrospective of Bernie's work has been assembled, the first such book published to date.
This spectacular new book features over 300 of Bernie Fuch's illustrations, along with rare photographs, drawings, original paintings, and tear sheets. 240 pages, 9x12 inches, full-color, hardbound with dust jacket. $44.95 (plus postage.)

After some decent undercard bouts, Manny Pacquiao appears and joins the commentators, Henson and Chino to call the main event: Brian "The Hawaiian Punch" Viloria (30-3-0, 17 KOs) fighting against the Mexican fighter Giovanni Segura (28-1-2, 24 KOs). The three warm up a bit. It's a laugh alright. And I have my warm up and a hot cup of coffee.
The announcer introduces the fighters. Segura walks into the ring in his signature flashy shorts and Mexican music. Brian Viloria comes to the ring on a Rocky song.
First round
Viloria opens it right away with a combination. Segura is the Aztec fighter we know, trying to dictate the tempo and giving us a taste what the direction of the fight would be going. Viloria lands clear punches to the right side of the head of Segura, who just shrugs them off and tries to land brawl-style bombs of his own. We're witnessing something very special here, folks.
Round two
This is a nice repeat performance of the first that any boxing blooddoodle right now is digging. Looks like a mouse is forming on the right side of Segura's head from the flash left hooks of Viloria. Again the same hooks are finding the target that seems to slow down the Mexican pressure fighter.
Round three
Round four
All the commentators are talking about right now is the swelled up right part of Segura's head. Another face is forming at the side of Segura's head, says one. Viloria meanwhile is continuing to pummel the head and body of the opponent.
Actually, the architect Filipino pugilist is now molding whatever he wants to mold of the swelling hill. Apparently, the game plan or style or whatever of Segura is not working. The round card girls are turning their heads to another direction rather than on the ring. The grotesque continues.
Round five and six
The drama inside the ring carries on with Viloria trying to finish off Segura and put a stop to his suffering. But the still dangerous Segura is drawing out all his reserves and heart, not only to survive but to salvage a losing campaign and try to knock out the champion. Yet Viloria is difficult to figure out. And with that head, it looks futile.
Round seven
Brother-in-law stands up from his seat and goes to the kitchen. I hear him now washing the dishes. He peeks for a look-see. The referee should call a time out and call the ring side physician, he says and goes back to his dishwashing.
Round eight
Same futile effort by Segura who absorbs more punishment. Another left hook counter by Viloria that landed to the hill and must have done some damage to the brain. The referee steps in to stop the fight. Good call referee. That's for Segura's health.
Congratulations to Brian "The Hawaiian Punch" Viloria!
I need a drink.

An advanced enemy fleet, comprised of thousands of Sahhrain Vastma-class warships, is headed toward the Sol System - a fleet that can in no way be matched by the US fleet's current assets. Omni Jason Reynolds, head of the entire Allied force defense, also learns his daughters, Boomer and Mollie, have ventured into the multiverse to deal with the murderous Rom Dasticon once and for all. He soon discovers it was a one-way trip - marooned, the girls have no way to return home - unless he can somehow find them one.
To discover key answers about the Caldurians and their multiverse technology, Jason and Dira return to the scrapyard where his father, Admiral Perry Reynolds, now semi-retired, resides. Here, long-held secrets of the past are unearthed - the real story of the discovery of The Lilly and Ricket, once trapped hundreds of feet below ground. But, as they will learn, the story began many years before that, when young Captain Perry Reynolds was commissioned to skipper a secret 1940s-era Iowa-class battleship, the USS Montana. His days spent on that great warship - as well as his subsequent defeat and dishonor - mold the man Perry Reynolds ultimately becomes.
As ramifications from past events converge into the present, Jason will be faced with three prominent Star Watch crewmembers meeting their untimely, and emotionally devastating, end.

"just a darned entertaining listen"
I put allot of miles on my car in a year. Sirius XM has a good variety but nothing beats a great story told well. Hours of enjoyable sci fi for the junky in me and a series that actually has winning heroes and real life drama in a world wrapped up in the multi layered anti hero that is hapless and just never seems to catch a break
"#4 is another of Mr. McGinnis's winners. "
I will advise starting at the series beginning. The story stands alone well, but listening I was often at a loss where participants fit in the story. If I had recently listened to how the many relationships had been formed I could have kept up with who was whom to who.
Again, begin at the beginning in the junk yard discovery.

1. Field of Invention
The present invention relates to a system for providing technology in plastic hand baskets or hand containers that can be detect a theft in progress when such hand baskets or hand containers are stolen. This invention uses RFID technology and integrates with camera and video surveillance systems to detect a theft in progress and trigger an alarm on the surveillance systems for immediate identification of theft.
2. Background of Invention
It has been proposed to place a RFID tag on or in a plastic hand basket or plastic hand container. Such plastic hand baskets or plastic hand containers are commonly used for shopping in grocery stores, pharmacies, or other similar stores, or any retail store, and such containers are commonly removed from the store illegally filled with stolen items.
The present disclosure embodies a number of aspects that can be implemented separately from or in combination with each other. An RFID tag can be placed on the plastic basket or container, or embedded in the plastic of such container or basket. An RFID reader can detect the RFID tag via short range frequency by placement of the RFID reader at store exits, thus providing a positive reading of the RFID tag as the plastic basket or container is leaving the store exit, indicating a theft is in progress. Using the RFID signal, the RFID reader will signal the camera surveillance system with an alarm that will activate the camera alarm system and alerting security that a theft has occurred.
In addition, another aspect of the invention is to place a GPS receiver in the plastic container or basket where a GPS location can be sent to law enforcement to track the stolen basket.
One principal target of this invention is grocery stores where thefts of baskets that are filled with other items are commonly stolen. This invention provides both deterrence to theft and an increased rate of identification and apprehension of perpetrators.
While the preferred embodiments of the invention have been described above, it will be recognized and understood that various modifications may be made therein and the appended claims are intended to cover all such modifications that may fall within the spirit and scope of the invention.
3. Definition of Terms
The following term definitions are provided to assist in conveying an understanding of the various exemplary embodiments and features disclosed herein.
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a space-based global navigation satellite system (GNSS) that provides reliable location and time information in all weather and at all times and anywhere on or near the Earth when and where there is an unobstructed line of sight to four or more GPS satellites. It is maintained by the United States government and is freely accessible by anyone with a GPS receiver.
Radio-frequency identification (RFID) is a technology that uses communication via radio waves to exchange data between a reader and an electronic tag attached to an object, for the purpose of identification and tracking.
Fixed RFID: Reader reads tags in a stationary position. These fixed readers are set up specific interrogation zones and create a "bubble" of RF energy that can be tightly controlled if the physics is well engineered. This allows a very definitive reading area for when tags go in and out of the interrogation zone.
Mobile RFID: Reader is mobile when the reader reads tags. Mobile readers include handhelds, carts and vehicle mounted RFID readers.
3 types of RFID tags
Passive RFID tags: Have no power source and require an external electromagnetic field to initiate a signal transmission. Typically they get powered by the RF energy that the readers transmit. This type of tags typically store between 32 and 128 bits of data and are Read-Only.
Active RFID tags: Contain a battery and can transmit signals once an external source (interrogator') has be successfully identified. It can store up to 1 MB of data and are rewritable.
Battery assisted passive (BAP) RFID tags: Require an external source to wake up but have significant higher forward link capability providing greater range.
RFID Tags Range & Frequency
The range will depend on the type of frequencies used.
Short Message Service (SMS) is the text communication service component of phone, web, or mobile communication systems, using standardized communications protocols that allow the exchange of short text messages between fixed line or mobile phone devices
Multimedia Messaging Service, or MMS, is a standard way to send messages that include multimedia content to and from mobile phones. It extends the core SMS (Short Message Service) capability that allowed exchange of text messages only up to 160 characters in length.
A personal digital assistant (PDA), also known as a palmtop computer, or personal data assistant, is a mobile device that functions as a personal information manager. Current PDAs often have the ability to connect to the Internet. A PDA has an electronic visual display, enabling it to include a web browser, but some newer models also have audio capabilities, enabling them to be used as mobile phones portable media players. Many PDAs can access the Internet, intranets or extranets via Wi-Fi or Wireless Wide Area Networks.
Portable Computing Device
Mobile computing is a form of human-computer interaction by which a computer is expected to be transported during normal usage. Mobile computing has three aspects: mobile communication, mobile hardware, and mobile software. The first aspect addresses communication issues in ad-hoc and infrastructure networks as well as communication properties, protocols, data formats and concrete technologies. The second aspect is on the hardware, e.g., mobile devices or device components. The third aspect deals with the characteristics and requirements of mobile applications.
Many types of mobile computers have been introduced since the 1990s including the:
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an Internet-standard protocol for managing devices on IP networks. Devices that typically support SNMP include routers, switches, servers, workstations, printers, modem racks, and more. It is used mostly in network management systems to monitor network-attached devices for conditions that warrant administrative attention. SNMP is a component of the Internet Protocol Suite as defined by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). It consists of a set of standards for network management, including an application layer protocol, a database schema, and a set of data objects.
In computing, a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) is a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) that specifies where an identified resource is available and the mechanism for retrieving it. In popular usage and in many technical documents and verbal discussions it is often incorrectly used as a synonym for URl.[1] The best-known example of the use of URLs is for the addresses of web pages on the World Wide Web, such as http://www.example.com/.
A smartphone is a mobile phone that offers more advanced computing ability and connectivity than a contemporary feature phone. Smartphones and feature phones may be thought of as handheld computers integrated with a mobile telephone, but while most feature phones are able to run applications based on platforms such as Java ME, a smartphone usually allows the user to install and run more advanced applications. Smartphones run complete operating system software providing a platform for application developers. Thus, they combine the functions of a camera phone and a personal digital assistant (PDA).
RTSP or Streaming Media
Streaming media is multimedia that is constantly received by and presented to an end-user while being delivered by a streaming provider.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streaming media-cite note-0 The name refers to the delivery method of the medium rather than to the medium itself. The distinction is usually applied to media that are distributed over telecommunications networks, as most other delivery systems are either inherently streaming (e.g., radio, television) or inherently non-streaming (e.g., books, video cassettes, audio CDs). The verb 'to stream' is also derived from this term, meaning to deliver media in this manner. Internet television is a commonly streamed medium.
Live streaming, more specifically, means taking the media and broadcasting it live over the Internet. The process involves a camera for the media, an encoder to digitize the content, a media publisher where the streams are made available to potential end-users and a content delivery network to distribute and deliver the content. The media can then be viewed by end-users live.
RSS (Most Commonly Expanded as Really Simple Syndication)
RSS is a family of web feed formats used to publish frequently updated works—such as blog entries, news headlines, audio, and video—in a standardized format. An RSS document (which is called a "feed", "web feed", or "channel") includes full or summarized text, plus metadata such as publishing dates and authorship. Web feeds benefit publishers by letting them syndicate content automatically. They benefit readers who want to subscribe to timely updates from favored websites or to aggregate feeds from many sites into one place. RSS feeds can be read using software called an "RSS reader", "feed reader", or "aggregator", which can be web-based, desktop-based, or mobile-device-based. A standardized XML file format allows the information to be published once and viewed by many different programs. The user subscribes to a feed by entering into the reader the feed's URI or by clicking a feed icon in a web browser that initiates the subscription process. The RSS reader checks the user's subscribed feeds regularly for new work, downloads any updates that it finds, and provides a user interface to monitor and read the feeds. RSS allows users to avoid manually inspecting all of the websites they are interested in, and instead subscribe to websites such that all new content is pushed onto their browsers when it becomes available.
IM (Instant Messaging)
Instant messaging (IM) is a form of real-time direct text-based communication between two or more people using personal computers or other devices, along with shared clients. The user's text is conveyed over a network, such as the Internet. More advanced instant messaging software clients also allow enhanced modes of communication, such as live voice or video calling.
The present invention is intended to provide deterrence for theft at grocery stores or any similar store where plastic hand baskets or plastic hand containers are offered to customers for shopping. A system that detects theft, activates the alarm conditions of a camera surveillance system, and monitors and tracks the location of stolen hand baskets or hand containers, will provide deterrence to crime, and in the case where there is a robbery, the system provides the capability for law enforcement to quickly identify the perpetrator, and to track the stolen basket or container and those who perpetuated the theft via the Global Positioning System (GPS).
One object of the present invention is to provide a method of detection of a theft in progress as the plastic hand basket or container is leaving the store exit, or unauthorized zone.
Another object of the present invention is to send a signal to an existing camera surveillance system to activate the alarm condition in such camera surveillance system and provide immediate alert information to store security and law enforcement.
Another object of the present invention is to use the GPS technology via an attached GPS receiver, to provide location information to law enforcement immediately after the occurrence of the detected theft.
Another object of the present invention is to report all of the items in the stolen plastic hand basket by reading the RFID tags on every item in the basket.
Another object of the present invention is to provide notification to store personnel that a theft has occurred so that it can be reported to law enforcement.
Another object of this invention is to activate an audible alarm signal as the stolen articles pass through the door exit to alert store personnel and provide deterrence to future thefts.
Another object of this invention is to optionally provide a monitor at the store exit which will list the items that have not been paid for along with live streaming video of the person leaving with the items with any message pre-programmed by the system administrator displayed on the monitor; the purpose of this option is also to provide deterrence to future thefts.
The RFID tag may be attached anywhere on the outside or inside of the basket, or by injection molding in the plastic basket/container during the manufacturing process, and in the case of being attached outside or inside the basket, may be covered with a an adhesive material such that the RFID tag is not seen.
The above and other objects, features, and advantages of the present invention are further described in the detailed description which follows, with reference to the drawings by way of non-limiting exemplary embodiments of the present invention, wherein like reference numerals represent similar parts of the present invention throughout the several views and wherein:
Plastic hand baskets are typically used at stores for shopping. This invention will have a passive RFID or NFC (Near Field Communications) tag affixed to the basket (container) at the store or at the manufacturer, or manufactured with a passive RFID UHF chip or NFC chip inserted into the container during the injection molding process (U.S. Pat. No. 7,875,227, Chisolm), and/or a GPS receiver chip. This is dependent on the request of the chain store company and the compliance of the container manufacturer. Technology and patents already exist to do this, and this application simply needs to use containers with specified tags or chips.
Although the detailed description herein contains many specifics for the purposes of illustration, anyone of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate that many variations and alterations to the following details are within the scope of the embodiments described herein. Thus, the following illustrative embodiments are set forth without any loss of generality to, and without imposing limitations upon, the claimed invention.
A fixed RFID reader is placed at the exit doors of a store, and is programmed to read the RFID tag at an approximate distance of 5 feet, however, this distance is programmable by the controller software.
Since the plastic hand baskets should not be removed from a store, a positive RFID tag reading is presumed to be a theft, which will later be confirmed via surveillance video. A positive tag reading of the plastic hand basket is sent from the fixed RFID reader to the controller software via LAN connection or wireless. The controller software then sends an event notification to the surveillance video software which sets an alarm condition. The alarm condition in the surveillance video software increases the shutter speed of the cameras located at the doors to collect higher definition images. The video surveillance software will keep this alarm condition for a set amount of time which is programmable by the controller software, will time stamp the alarm condition, and will send a notification to the controller software, which will send a notification of theft to one or more of several destinations: host controller software run at a corporate data center or run at a hosting security company, local security personnel via, SMS, MMS, RSS, IM, paging, pre-recorded voice call, or any other preferred method of notification, or by activating a screen splash or pop up with audible alert on any smartphone, mobile, cellular, PDA, or any portable device or portable computing device. The host controller file will extract the digital image data and write a file to disk; the file can be a video clip file in any format, or a digital still image. In addition, the video clip file will be created which will begin at a pre-programmed time before the alarm is set, and continue for a pre-programmed time after the alarm is set; the video clip file or a URL of a link to a web site to view the video clip file will be sent via IP or any electronic means to the host security software, and to local security personnel via SMS, MMS, IM, paging, pre-recorded voice call, or by activating a splash screen or pop up on a mobile device or portable computing device.
Immediately after the RFID tag read of the hand plastic basket, the fixed RFID reader will also read the contents of such basket via short range read, as the basket passes by the fixed reader. This tag information is sent via wireless or wired to the controller software, which will include this information with the message notification.
It is recommended in this system that the user of this invention either use existing surveillance cameras or install additional surveillance cameras such that said cameras will continue to record digital images of the store exit and surrounding area in order to aid law enforcement with additional evidence such as automobile identification of the person who perpetrated the theft.
Another aspect of this invention is to activate an audible alarm signal as the stolen articles pass through the door exit to alert store personnel and provide deterrence to future thefts. The length and type of signal will be set by programmable option in the controller software.
Another aspect of this invention is to provide a monitor at the store exit which will list the items that have not been paid for along with live streaming video of the person leaving with the items with an optional message pre-programmed by the system administrator in the security controller software which will be displayed on the monitor; the purpose of this option is also to provide deterrence to future thefts.
Another additional aspect is the use of a GPS receiver affixed to the basket or inserted by injection molding during the manufacturing process (patent pending by author of this invention). In this case, the GPS receiver information is previously known to the controller software, and is sent to any pre-programmed location, including but not limited to the host controller software at run at the corporate data center or hosted by a security company, where such location has a GPS tracker to monitor the location of the GPS receiver, and hence, the plastic hand basket and its' contents that were stolen. The GPS information may also be transmitted to pre-determined law enforcement offices via any electronic means, such as, SMS, RSS, MSS, IM, paging, pre-recorded voice call, splash screen or pop up in a mobile device, or any other preferred method of notification, for use by law enforcement to track the items and perpetrator.
A recorded video clip file, or still images, or a URL to link to a web site to view the video clip file or still images, and RFID tag information of items stolen and notification of the theft will be sent via electronic means to any pre-determined law enforcement office or store security personnel.
Another aspect is to transmit live video as it is recording via video streaming technology such as RTSP, or a URL to link to a web site to view the live streaming video by electronic means, including but not limited to, SMS, MMS, RSS, IM, or email, to store security personnel, security controller software run at corporate data center or hosted by security company, or to pre-determined law enforcement offices.
The system shall have an inventory mode in which a stack of baskets may be placed within range of the RFID reader so the system will perform an inventory count of the baskets, and to further report to store security personnel a summary of the inventory including notification if there are missing baskets. Store personnel can use a GUT in the software controller to add baskets to the inventory.
A security controller application is run at a data center that manages each store location, and send and receive data to any store location, and uses the SNMP open standard for managing devices on an IP network. The systems administrator at the data center have ultimate control of each installed system and will set user rights and notifications of each store, and determine if anyone at a specific store shall have systems administrator rights into the security system. Administration functions include viewing video clips created by alarm conditions, configuration of all variable settings and options at each store, and adding baskets to the inventory at any store. A master database will store the number of baskets at each store.
The security system may use an application on a mobile, cellular, PDA, or any portable device or portable computing device that allows the authorized user access to the controller software to view status, set alert, view any camera, change direction of camera, and run a system test to verify all pieces of the system are working properly, and to activate audio recording to record any activity that may be needed to have recorded.

2nd Amend.
Check Out the Hidden Gun Transfer Junk in Schumer's Gun Bill
Shumer had kept the bogus "background check" bill under wraps, only putting forth a shell bill with no specifics. Well, he applied the text through an amendment at the last minute, before it passed. John Richardson has the details, including the text. I've only skimmed the details, but here's the key problems:
If you left town for more than 7 days, and left your gay partner, or unrelated roommate at home with the guns, you'd be committing a felony. This should be called the "denying gun rights to gays act." Remember that the federal government does not recognize gay marriage, even if you're state does, thanks to DOMA. 5 years in prison.
Actually, even married couples are questionably legal, because the exemption between family only applies to gifts, not to temporary transfers. The 7 day implication is if you leave your spouse at home for more than 7 days, it's an unlawful transfer, and you're a 5 year felon. I suppose you could gift them to your spouse, or related co-habitant, and then have them gift them back when you arrive back home. Maybe the Attorney General will decide to create a form for that.
It would be illegal to lend a gun to a friend to take shooting. That would be a transfer. 5 years in federal prison.
Steals the livelihood of gun dealers by setting a fixed fee to conduct transfers. The fee is fixed by the Attorney General. What's to prevent him from setting it at $1000?

Insiders at Fox News Channel said Friday that a two-day documentary featuring an interview with the Navy SEAL who killedOsama Bin Laden will air as scheduled despite objections from the Pentagon.
On Wednesday, Fox News announced that a show called The Man Who Killed Osama Bin Laden hosted by Washington correspondentPeter Doocy was scheduled for Nov. 11 and Nov. 12, but on Friday the Pentagon toldBusiness Insider that the SEALs and former SEALs who were participants do not have permission to discuss the classified 2011 mission.
The government has never identified the Navy SEALs who killed Bin Laden, the mastermind of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks of 2001, though they were profiled in the 2012 movie Zero Dark Thirty, which was controversial for its insinuation that waterboarding was an effective tool in gathering intelligence.

(MIDWEST OHIO)— [February 2017] Bootstrap & Co. Creative Studios announces that Michael Forr has been named Vice President, Brand Strategy.
"Bootstrap & Co. continues to be an industry disruptor in the creative space." Explains Katelyn Martin, the studio's Director of Operation. "We are experiencing explosive growth, and we are more than excited to have Forr's legendary leadership to compliment our culture of continuous improvement."
One could argue that Forr's relationship with Bootstrap & Co. Creative Studios began years ago. With an impressive leadership career forged in the fires of GE Capital, Forr rose through the ranks to become one of the most accomplished Area Sales Managers. Forever the consummate team player, Forr often volunteered his time to mentor new hires.
In 2005, one of these new hires was, ironically, Mark Bloemhard, Bootstrap & Co. Creative Studio's Creative Director.
"Not only did I watch Mike's team produce an unbelievable $1BN in annual revenue at GE Capital, I watched him do it selflessly. Sure, he was laser focused on building his division, but he was just as dedicated to helping other managers find their way.
"I was hired to develop the Ohio territory and while Mike could have consider me to be an internal competitor, he was instrumental in my eventual success," explains Mark Bloemhard. "It's impossible to forget an influential leader like Michael Forr."
As VP of Brand Strategy, Forr will leverage an enviable wealth of experience to guide the growth and culture of the studio.
"I have been fortunate to be part of explosive growth organizations and the energy of Bootstrap is as contagious as I have ever experienced," declares Forr. "Bootstrap & Co. is an explosive cocktail of unlimited potential and I'm excited to be a part of the process."
About Bootstrap & Co. Creative Studios
In this chaotic and cluttered world of relentless change, it takes a tremendous amount of effort and insight for a brand to clearly articulate a meaningful message.
Bootstrap & Co. designs for the future—in ways that make sense right now.
The studio is an award winning think tank: a collection of brilliant minds, inspired souls, and sizzling creativity. With smart tools and global resources, we examine the implications of every consumer touch point; create new experiences, and open doors to opportunity.

Fahie Wants Governor To Address Other Issues
- Published in Community
- Add new comment
Governor John Duncan has been called upon to act on other issues where the government has fallen short on including not producing financial statements since 2011.
Hon. Andrew Fahie, Opposition Leader issued a statement today, March 17, where he spoke on the move by the Governor that he will be invoking Section 103 of the Constitution. This section allows the Governor to authorize an additional $800,000 expenditure to the Royal Virgin Islands Police Force (RVIPF).
However, Fahie said that there are more things to be done.
He said that, the Governor has announced that it is not proper to vacate his office in August of 2017 without resolving some of the bills developed during his tenancy. Funding of the RVIPF is a GREAT start. Here are a few others:
The House of Assembly has not received audited financial statements in ten years. This is a Constitutional issue that must be corrected before August 2017 and must not be left to succeeding Governors; the Attorney General and the House of Assembly have refused to seek a proper interpretation of what constitutes Conflict of Interest and what contracts would require the permission of the HOA prior to being entered into by members of the HOA.
This is a Constitutional issue that must be corrected before August 2017 and must not be left to succeeding Governors.
Further, at the Cruise Port Development Project, over thirty million dollars have been expended in excess of the amounts approved in the House of Assembly. This is a Constitutional issue that must be investigated before August 2017 and must not be left to succeeding Governors. No more parsing of words.
Also, Eight million dollars was diverted from loan proceeds approved by the House of Assembly for the East End/Long Look Sewerage project to the BVI Ports Authority without being deposited to the BVI Treasury or without proper approval. This is a Constitutional issue that must be corrected before August 2017 and must not be left to succeeding Governors.
Fahie said that, the people of the Virgin Islands will address the other political reckless decisions made by this Government at an appropriate time: The seven million dollars disbursed to the airline; the one million dollars spent on a three hundred thousand dollars wall around the high school; the implementation of a sixth form when absolutely nothing was in place for it to function; the sixteen million dollars from Social Security for road works that is still not properly accounted for.
Further, schools without sanitary supplies; the public library has now been closed for one year and to date the House of Assembly has not been given the budget for its relocation or the operational expenses required for its operations. There exist some unwritten words at the windows of the treasury of the Virgin Islands – NOTHING THERE!

j12601 (575) Poughkeepsie, New York | June 27, 2017
A place we always stop when driving through PA, been here probably half a dozen or so times over the last few years. Big open barn sort of building with a bar downstairs as well. We usually opt for seating in the upstairs portion as it's got a nice open feeling which is just a bit more enjoyable for a meal and a drink when we're likely passing through. Beers are generally pretty good, not necessarily anything to write home about, although a few years back they had an amazing coffee stout. Food is solid, lots of variety and everything is well made. Service staff is always super friendly. Everyone already goes to Otto's. But everyone should also be going here. Worth a visit.
Msdrbeat (60) East Lansing, | November 25, 2016
Large spot. Inside is cool from the look of the barn with a large bar, but it's pretty dark. Beer was pretty good; their higher ABV beers were too sweet for me but they have a good and diverse range of options. Food came in huge portions and was pretty good. Nachos were a tad burnt. Service was friendly but slow and forgetful.
nate2g (1290) Boomtown!, Australia | April 7, 2015
This was a nice spot with large bar and plenty of seating. There's upstairs seating as well but we didn't take a look so no idea how roomy it is up there. One gripe was a lack of lighting so prepare to bring your own flashlight :) The beers were fine and with a moderate range of styles. Flights available but on the pricey side. Service was slow to begin with as there was only one bartender working behind the bar but smoothed out once another staff member came to help out. We didn't eat on our visit.
Travlr (3057) Charlotte , North Carolina | April 5, 2015
This is an interesting old building on the outskirts of town. The restaurant is in the basement, allowing you a look at the underworks holding the building up. But that also makes it a bit dark. Large U-shaped bar on one side, restaurant tables on the other. Service was slow, as one guy was covering a massive bar by himself. Beers were fine.Worth a peek.
can8ianben (131) State College, Pennsylvania | November 5, 2014
Upscale brewpub in an old (and very beautifully refurbished) dairy barn. Lots of windows to the outside, as well as in on the brewroom floor. Pub-style downstairs, and nice dining room upstairs. Beer and food are both really solid, but it is pricy - $12 for a 6 beer sampler??? Ouch.
jercraigs (582) Toronto, Ontario | August 22, 2014
2014-08-16. Arrived for lunch and saw a bunch of our fellow Campground Brewdowners heading in, but then didn't see them when we got inside. It wasn't until later that I clued into the fact that there is an upstairs, which is apparently "fancier" than the downstairs where we were sitting. The bottom floor is large on it's own so if the top floor is similarly sized there is plenty of seating capacity. The downstairs had a lounge meets barn meets bar feel too it that feels a bit odd, but is pretty cool. They need a few more lights since reading the menu and identifying the colour of our beers were both challenging :) Servers were friendly and efficient, we didn't really test their beer knowledge. One waitress accurately gauged the mood of the group and brought out crayons to one of the guys who had been joking about it! They do flights of six beers, which Mabel and I shared since we weren't feeling up for more today. We similarly opted to order "light" on the food with an onion soup, and short rib nachos, both of which were twice the size we expected. The nachos were delicious, with sort of a philly cheese steak like cheese sauce on them. The soup was similarly good. I'm curious what the portion sizes are like for the fancier looking entrees since we split two appetizers and left super full! The option for a small and a large for those items would have been nice. The entrees are not expensive per se, but are on the fancy side for brewpub fare and seem to be priced accordingly. Beers were all pretty decent but only one or two really caught my attention today. Location by the highway is handy if you are just passing through. Definitely worth a stop, and we would come back again.

Really cool place to eat - an old barn refurbed as a brewpub. Great open areas and high ceilings, nice decor, and the basement bar was just beautiful. Had lunch on a Monday, and they were doing a good business. Three of seven beers on menu weren't available, but they have a few guest taps, too. Solid offerings, particularly the Tailgater. Food was really good, and their pretzels are the best German-style soft pretzels I've had since living in Germany ... they make the Hofbrauhaus (Pitt) pretzels look like microwaveable cardboard. Good service. Lunch and dinner items are on the steep side for a brewpub, so not an every-day place to hang out, but the food is good.

Bangladeshi Prime Minister Khaleda Zia has laid a foundation stone at a memorial in Tokyo that honors the martyrs of the Bangla language movement.
Ms. Khaleda said at a dedication ceremony Tuesday that laying the stone marked a "historic moment."
The memorial is named Shaheed Manir after the site in the Bangla capital, Dhaka, where police killed a number of protesters in 1952. The protesters were demanding that Bangla be recognized, along with Urdu, as state languages in then-East Pakistan.
East Pakistan broke away from Pakistan in 1971 and declared itself as Bangladesh.
Ms. Khaleda is in Japan for an official visit expected to focus on bilateral trade relations and Japanese investment in a Bangladeshi bridge project.
She plans to meet her Japanese counterpart, Junichiro Koizumi, on Thursday.

We are always amazed to see them in a natural setting, we don't have them in our urban area in Illinois. I will resist making any comments on the turkey legs sold in FrontierLand.

It's not fun to deal with financial issues and plan for life after you're gone, but that's part of being financially secure. Instead of feeling overwhelmed, consider these surprising ways your life insurance policy might help.
If you're a member of the military and are severely injured in the line of duty, the severe injury benefit from your USAA term policy can help pay for your recovery. For example, after Matt Smith was wounded in Afghanistan, he and his wife, Megan, used their $25,000 benefit for a down payment on a home near the hospital where he did his rehabilitation.
Predicting your future is impossible, but you can be certain that your life will change. Your life insurance needs will change too. Guaranteed insurability riders like USAA's Life Event Option help you increase your life insurance benefit after events like getting married, buying a home or having a child without having to undergo a physical exam. This can make it easier to keep the right protection in place.
Let's say you've been paying premiums on your universal life policy1 or 20 years — that's a lot of equity. You can borrow against that cash value to pay off a student loan, for example, or start a child's education. If you do, you'll continue paying your premiums and pay the loan back.
You can also withdraw from your cash value2 by canceling all or a portion of your coverage. This option will likely bear some tax consequences if you get back more money than you paid in premiums.
Speak to a financial advisor first, though. Kenny Sutton, USAA Life Insurance product management director, says you should look at other options before considering accessing your cash value.
You want to leave something to your to your loved ones after you're gone. Maybe it's a vacation house, a vintage car or money to help with their dreams. Or leaving your life insurance benefits to a cultural institution can also keep your legacy — large or small — alive for future generations. USAA recommends speaking with a tax and legal professional if you are considering using your life insurance as a trust or other lasting gift.
Help protect your loved ones with USAA life insurance.
