Brentwood Classic - Archived Standings
Harvest Park Bowl, Brentwood, CA, Jan 20-24, 1998
Bohn III Nails Victory In Brentwood
Parker Bohn III finished second in the Inaugural Brentwood Classic in 1997. In 1998, he improved his position by one. Bohn kicked off the PBA Tour's 40th year of competition by defeating Tom Baker, 239-222, in an exciting and tense championship match at Harvest Park Bowl. The victory, which came before a raucous, standing room only crowd, was the 14th of Bohn's career and earned him $16,000. "This is a little bit of redemption for me," said Bohn, "it really means a lot to me to come back and win after finishing second. This is the way you want the new year to start." The PBA Tour continued its new format for the championship round, seating fans on bleachers down both sides of the bowlers in an "arena-like" setting and allowing them to cheer constantly throughout the ESPN telecast (the first by PBA Tour Productions). "I think the constant cheering is great," said Baker. "It got my heart pumping and I was excited right from the start. I showed more emotion than I've ever shown in my life." All that emotion wasn't enough against Bohn. An open frame by Baker in the second frame after a failed conversion of a 4-6-7 split gave Bohn an early opening. He responded by putting together five consecutive strikes in frames two through six to take a 21-pin lead. Baker hung tough, striking In frames four through nine. Bohn spared in the seventh, struck in the eighth, spared in the ninth, then struck and converted a 7-pin in the 10th to finish with 239. Baker, Buffalo, N.Y., got up needing a strike on his first shot in the 10th to win, but left the 4-6-7-10 split. CHAMPIONSHIP ROUND

Tired of replacing household essentials each time you head to the store? Here are some tricks to make the most out of your cleaning supplies.
Soap isn't expensive, but when you buy it frequently, it can add up. To make shower gel last longer, use a loofah or sponge with it — a small amount can make enough suds to adequately cleanse during shower time.
With bar soap, allow it to dry out a little before you first use it. Dry soap doesn't dissolve as quickly as fresh soap when it makes contact with water, so allow it to dry out for a few weeks first.
All you need to make dish and hand soap last dramatically longer is a foaming hand soap dispenser. Pour one tablespoon of your liquid soap — either dish or hand — into the empty dispenser. Then fill the rest of it with water, leaving a small space at the top. Screw on the dispenser's lid and shake the mixture. You may need to pump the dispenser a few times, but once you do, you will use much less soap and still get the job done.
Vinegar is a wonderful cleaner that is not only versatile but is also super cheap. To make an all-purpose cleaner, combine 1 cup of vinegar with 5 cups of water. To wash linoleum, mix 1/4 cup vinegar with one gallon of water. And to clean a coffee maker, add vinegar to the water reservoir until it's about one quarter full. Fill the remaining space with water. Run the coffee maker, then repeat with plain water. Here are some other ways you can use vinegar to clean.
Feel like you've squeezed as much toothpaste out of the container as you possibly can? Think again. Try cutting the tube open with a pair of scissors. You'll likely find at least a few more brushings worth of toothpaste in there. Just be sure to store the tube in a plastic bag in between uses so you will prevent the paste from drying out.
Detergent can be expensive, but finding ways to save on the amount of laundry you do can make it last much longer. For example, have kids wear the same pair of pajamas for a few nights, especially if they bathe before bedtime. Use towels two or three times instead of just once, and if your jeans aren't dirty, wear them another day or two before washing. Also, always measure your detergent. Often, we "eye" it and end up using more than is necessary.
Instead of spraying the surface, such as mirrors or stainless steel appliances, spray the cloth you're using. Often, we use way more than is necessary when spraying the surface, and some of it gets left behind — causing extra wiping and buffing to remove afterward.

The honeybee came from Europe to America with the first settlers.
Indians always knew when the colonists were encroaching because their bees preceded them. That's why the Indians called them "white man's flies."
Honeybees swarm. But the vast majority of the more than 20,000 bee species on Earth are loners, says Michael Engel, assistant curator of entomology at Kansas University's Natural History Museum.
Engel, who helps maintain a KU bee collection of 460,000 specimens, treasures bees that are much older than the early settlers' honeybees. He's especially fond of bees trapped in ancient amber.
Amber is a fossilized form of gooey, yellow resin secreted by ancient trees. The resin became a liquid coffin for any unwary insect that strayed into it.
Engel has seen and described for publication the oldest fossil bee ever found. The 75-million-year-old specimen came from Burlington County, N.J.
"It's enthralling to know that this thing has been biding its time for 75 million years," Engel says. "It sits there in all its color and glory, in a way that a dinosaur cannot. The only difference from a live specimen is that it's not moving."
Early this year, Engel published a paper about the second oldest bee, which is from British Columbia. This one is about 50 million years old, and it didn't come packaged in amber. The bee lacked antennae, mouthparts and legs.
With fossil bees that aren't trapped in amber, Engel says, it's the wings that last. They're too flat to get smashed, and they contain no bug meat, so they aren't feasted on by bacteria or birds.
But it's bees in amber that appeal most to Engel.
Amber can freeze a bug doing its thing. Engel has specimens caught forever in a moment: flies joined, forever mating, and spiders forever spinning webs.
When the amber containing the 75 million-year-old bee came to Engel, its surface was cloudy and cracked. So he encased it in epoxy to stabilize it. Then he cut thin slices off the amber, approaching the trapped bee gingerly.
It was as if he were washing a dirty window, he says. The bee came slowly into view. As Engel saw the mandibles and the structure of hind legs, he saw that early guesses about the creature's identity were wrong.
The bee belonged to a new genus that Engel named Cretotrigona.
"It raised a bit of a stir among bee people around the world," Engel says.
Yet the discovery made no headlines.
Then something remarkable happened. An illustrator for a New York Times article on fossil flowers came to Engel. He wanted his illustration to contain a bee appropriate to the ancient flowers he was drawing. The illustrator sat in Engel's lab, which was then at the American Museum of Natural History, for two days. The two men worked back and forth to create an accurate image of Cretotrigona.
That bee hovers above the fossil flowers in the illustration. It is anonymous, but free at last from its amber cell.

It was widely presumed that the first shrieks of popular anger under a David Cameron-led Government in an age of sharp fiscal austerity would come from the less well-off. Instead, in another sign of how this coalition has shaken up British politics, those cries are emanating from the wealthy. The object of their ire is the coalition Government's proposals to bring Capital Gains Tax into line with income tax rates.
Most of the protests are special pleading and can be safely ignored. People, understandably, do not like the idea of paying more tax on the sale of their second homes and shares. Who would? But the case for the state taxing tax wealth and income equally is powerful. Privileging one over the other is unfair and economically distorting.
The argument that has been advanced in some quarters is that the primary victims of this tax hike will be those of modest means. This is unconvincing. The relaxation of Capital Gains Tax in recent years has encouraged tax avoidance by wealthy individuals who, with the help of clever accountants, have been able to convert their income into capital gains and make themselves liable for the lower rate. This was vividly exposed by the private equity chief who, a few years ago, remarked that he was subject to a lower rate of tax than his cleaner. It is these sort of privileged individuals who stand to lose out most from this tax rise. And since the proceeds of this tax rise will be used to raise the lower income tax threshold, it is the less well-off (including cleaners) and those on middle incomes who stand to benefit most.
Another complaint about the planned move is that entrepreneurs who set up businesses with the expectation of selling them on at some stage in the future will be penalised by moving the two tax rates into line. But a significantly lower rate of capital gains tax for business is hardly some ancient right. As recently as 1988, under a Conservative government, capital gains tax was in line with income tax rates.
This is a context that those kicking up a fuss over the planned readjustment, particularly those on the Tory backbenches, prefer not to acknowledge. These Conservative backwoodsmen also tend to ignore the fact that it was the previous "high-taxing" Labour administration that began to make the Capital Gains Tax allowance system excessively generous in 1998, before eventually imposing an 18 per cent flat rate two years ago.
The serious question in this debate is not whether Capital Gains Tax ought to increase, but whether it should be tapered once again to reward those who hold assets for the long term. A secondary question is whether businesses should be taxed less than property and shares. It is amusing to see those who claim to want a "simplification" of the tax system pressing for the return of this complex system of allowances. It would appear that when they say they want taxation to be "simpler" what they really mean is "lower". And when they demand "tax cuts" what they really mean is tax cuts for the already prosperous middle classes.
That said, there is a case for preferential tax rates for those who establish businesses. Entrepreneurs will play a crucial role in reinvigorating our weak economy. Yet, as we have seen, excessive tapering in Capital Gains Tax creates loopholes. And the more tapering there is in the system, the further one moves from the desirable principle of treating wealth and income equally in the tax system.
There is probably room for compromise to ensure that appropriate incentives are in place for entrepreneurs. But, on all other fronts, the coalition Government must hold its nerve in the face of this barrage of fallacious argument and barefaced hypocrisy.

Ballard's newest bistro-pub
Proprietress Jen Doak was inspired by her global travels and found the European model of eating and drinking especially appealing. Why? Because the convivial corner bistro or pub always seems to be brimming with curious patrons. The passerby might see a familiar face and pop in for a pint or an entire meal, and great conversation and fun.
The name suggests a proper pour - teasing the top of the glass and culminating in a satisfying glimpse of the bottom. - Like a good toast, Brimmer & Heeltap will be a place that evokes camaraderie – a sense of where we've been and where we want to arrive.
There's something for everyone with Chef Mike's innovative use of distinct flavor profiles, from snacks and veggies, to meats and seafood. Our menu changes regularly so stop by often!
Enthusiasts welcome.

... a dynamic of shifts and transformations that happens insistently. It starts (if we wanted to choose a starting point, but really, there may be no origin here) at the bottom of the page, in the fantastic confrontation between the tree on the right whose face frowns at the flying creature whose talon/root limb reaches out to land, its own right limb still an uprooted tree part. "Who are you?" "What have you become?" Iris, who has just emerged ready to delight in the thick snowfall coming down outside (and is of course bedecking the tree outside the window in its own white mantle of snow) has just made this more interesting: the "limb creature," as she calls the flying one, has just broken free from the tree on the left and seeks another companion to liberate itself, a cleaving the tree on the right, frowns upon, maybe unwilling but certainly helpless to stop the proliferation of forms.

Soccer: Pearland squads make playoff push
Published 2:28 pm, Tuesday, March 5, 2013
It's go time for the Pearland boys and girls soccer squads, and in the balance over the next two weeks are District 22-5A playoff berths.
"We're young and inconsistent," Pearland boys seventh-year coach Tom Jones said. "We have one game where we play great soccer, and then one game where we're not so great, and we have a very big one with South Houston on Saturday."
The Oilers started the week fighting with Alvin for the fourth-and-final playoff berth, and those two trailed 22-5A boys leader Dobie, and also Pasadena Memorial and South Houston."
"We're in a deadlock with Alvin, and a couple of points behind South Houston, so the race is really heating up," Jones said. "I can see it going either way, with us getting all the way into third place, or possibly finishing fifth and out of the playoff picture, but we're going to keep fighting."
The Oilers meet South Houston at 10 a.m. Saturday at Pasadena Memorial Stadium, and after spring break, they wrap up 22-5A play in 7 p.m. matches against Pasadena Memorial (home March 19), Manvel (away March 22) and Dobie (home March 26).
Junior forward Christian Young leads Pearland with 21 goals and nine assists, and senior Daniel Curran is the Oilers' "rock on defense," according to Jones.
Dobie and Alvin shared the 22-5A girls soccer lead with 24 points apiece heading into this week, and with 21 points, the Pearland Lady Oilers owned sole possession of third place and are well on their way to a postseason berth.
Lady Oilers coach Bryan Hayman is a Dobie graduate and knows all about the high quality of soccer played in 22-5A.
"It was obvious it was it was going to be quite a battle against some outstanding programs, and that's just what's happening," Hayman said. "Just about everybody picked Dobie, Alvin, Pasadena Memorial and us to fight it out, and as the playoff favorites, and right now, those four teams are on top of the standings."
The Pearland girls host last-place South Houston at 7 p.m. Friday at The Rig, and they also meet Pasadena Memorial at 10 a.m. Monday at Pasadena Memorial Stadium before taking the rest of the week off for spring break.
The Lady Oilers wrap up district with Manvel (home March 19) and Dobie (away March 22) before heading into the bidistrict playoffs that are set for March 28-30.
The Alvin girls host first-place Dobie at 7 p.m. Friday at Alvin Memorial Stadium in another key 22-5A clash, and the Lady Yellowjackets also have Soputh Houston (away Monday), Pasadena (home March 19), and Pasadena Memorial (away March 22) left to play.
The Friendswood Lady Mustangs are in a fight in 43-4A and have suffered a 2-0 loss at Santa Fe on Feb. 15 and were tied 2-2 by Texas City on Feb. 22 during league action.
The Friendswood girls play at 7 p.m. Friday at Ball in Galveston, and host Texas City at 7 p.m. Monday, and they close district at 7 p.m. on March 19 at Dawson.
The Friendswood boys were undefeated in the first round of 43-4A, but they just got by Ball 1-0, Dawson 3-2 and Santa Fe 1-0, and the Mustangs host Ball at 7 p.m. Friday.

Cassava is known as a poor man's crop. It is predominately grown by subsistence farmers, as a staple crop, in developing countries that have a temperate climate. This has two important market implications. The amount of cassava traded compared to global production is minuscule; and the largest exporters of cassava are not necessarily the largest producers. Trade patterns illustrate that import/export activity is concentrated between South East Asia and East Asia. If regional trade is broken down it becomes apparent that China, Thailand and Vietnam are responsible for driving world trade in Cassava.
Additional Resources
International trade fairs are very important for growers and exporters, not only to display their produce but also to get to know more about their potential markets and competitors. As some markets can be very difficult to access without some help from within (agents, freight forwarders, wholesalers, etc.), fairs serve as an excellent meeting place to make contacts and business links. This section lists some of the more important trade fairs from around the world.

LANCASTER, Pa.—Security Partners announced Nov. 25 that it is opening a new 7,424- square-foot central station in Las Vegas, adding to its national network of three other locations.
Bob Schott was recently hired as director of information technology at Security Partners, a wholesale monitoring company based in Lancaster, Pa. In his new position, Schott will oversee all aspects of IT in Security Partners' three central stations.

LANCASTER, Pa.—Nearly two years after launching its advanced services division, Security Partners, a wholesale monitoring company based here, is partnering with CheckVideo to help drive managed video sales.
In the second decade of the 21st century, home security is no longer just about catching bad guys.
With ESX 2014 in the rearview mirror, I wanted to combine some of my experiences into one summarizing blog of an event rich in educational seminars and insightful speakers. Here are some of the sights and sounds, in more or less chronological order:
How, in 2014 and beyond, does a security company remain relevant? That's the question Safeguard Security CEO John Jennings addressed at the ESA eye-opener breakfast, urging audience members to free themselves from outmoded ways of doing and thinking about business.
Titled "Dinosaurs, Woolly Mammoths, Saber tooth tigers and you," the presentation very directly explored strategies to help security companies avoid becoming, well, extinct. His recommendations? Promoting unorthodox perspectives, challenging the obvious and fostering divergent ideas. He encouraged listeners to emulate the disruptive, risk-taking attitudes prevalent in the tech startup culture—first by considering failure not as an endgame, but as an occasional and even necessary obstacle along the pathway to better ideas.
Jennings also told attendees to ask the tough questions about their businesses, and to be uncompromising about having employees who both perform in the field and elevate the atmosphere in the office.
Strategic planning, Jennings noted, can be relegated to the dustbin of history. In an industry so rapidly evolving and so hard to predict, such projects no longer constitute a good use of time. Oh, and organizational charts? Those can go too. Divisions between personnel need no longer be so neatly divided or even hierarchical, as leaders should aim to pool ideas from all levels of their management structure.
Jennings also made a persuasive and rather funny case for doing away with the term "central station." "Central station—really?!" he asked with half-serious outrage. He then asked if anyone outside the industry actually knows what a central station is. He's got a point. There's something a little unsleek and Star Trek-y about the phrase. And that's misleading; the facilities I've visited are nothing if not sleek.
In the afternoon I moderated a seminar featuring Tom Szell, SVP, ADS Security, Mike Bodnar, president, Security Partners, and Brandon Savage, SVP customer experience and operations at My Alarm Center/Alarm Capital Alliance. It was a good mix of perspectives, and the trio wasn't shy about proposing some forward-thinking ideas. Savage urged attendees to make customer support not just a differentiator but the key differentiator at their companies. Szell affirmed that the interactive services revolution is an enormous positive for the industry, but said the next imperative is figuring out how to provide top-notch support for this ever-expanding array of services. With respect to the hiring and training process, Mike Bodnar encouraged attendees to identify people with the right mix of hard and soft skills, and added that the demand for operators with those characteristics is only going to increase.
From a monitoring standpoint, the panelists left no stone unturned: PERS, mobile PERS, installer apps, subscriber apps, the ASAP to PSAP program, customer surveys, video verification, and interactive services and the new expectations for customer support they've produced.
In the latter part of the session, the audience members posed some superb questions as well. Some asked how to extend the life of PERS accounts or how to develop the most effective and informative customer surveys. Others asked about the threat of DIY / MIY systems and how best to cope with broader market awareness of these systems.
The ESX show floor kicks into full gear Wednesday. I plan to be there the next two days and to make a point of getting to as many of the educational seminars as possible.
It had the feel of a seminar anyone in the monitoring space needed to hear. Moderated by Don Childers, COO of Security Central, the panel titled "IP, the Central Station and All that Jazz" got down to the brass tacks of what it takes to be a monitoring company in 2014. One of the ruling themes: You need to honestly assess the strengths and weaknesses of your monitoring company now to determine how well suited or not it is to be reliable hub of IP signals.
The panelist lineup included Sascha Kylau, VP central station solutions and services, OneTel; Morgan Hertel, VP of operations at Rapid Response Monitoring; and Mark McCall, director of IT, Security Central.
The "Internet of Things" movement was broached early in the session, with Kylau mentioning some possibilities for monitoring that might have seemed farfetched a few years ago but that now seem totally plausible. Pet tracking, mobile medical monitoring, mobile tracking, geo fencing, aggregating information from household appliances—Kylau touched on all these possibilities. Some of these services, such as PERS, are already well-established streams of RMR for some monitoring companies, and only stand to become more mainstream in the years ahead.
The panelists agreed that investing in quality ISPs and bandwidth will pay off in the long run. Hertel noted that during Hurricane Sandy, Rapid Response was hit was an astonishing rate of signals for two weeks straight. With such taxing scenarios in mind, he advised monitoring companies to invest in reliable, first-rate ISPs, and to work closely with automation providers to ensure their company can accommodate IP traffic in any set of circumstances. To that point, McCall added that it's crucial to invest in a network monitoring platform that tracks signal information and informs you when the IP firewall is about to max out.
The panelists didn't just discuss the equipment investments in the central station IP domain. They also touched on the human capital aspect of the business, which is evolving in proportion to the technology. Hertel said Rapid Response now employs a 25-person IT and software development team.
Later in the day I caught up with Jeremy Mclerran, director of marketing at Qolsys. The company's big news at the show was the launch of its new user interface intended to make the customer experience more consistent and sleek. To that end, the new look is a rousing success; it's an uncluttered, clean, visually appealing interface. McLerran explained that Qolsys is so closely integrated with Alarm.com that remodeling the company's own interface to make it closer in alignment with that platform's look and feel "just made sense."
Though the new look features flat, monochromatic icons, McLerran pointed out that the changes aren't just cosmetic. The company's intent was to design a "forward-compatible" panel that interoperates with a host of wireless radios and has a slew of home control functionalities already embedded. Qolsys also managed to elicit some guffaws with its anonymous banner ads adorning the escalators: "1980 called. It wants its panel back." The banners also encouraged industry members to take a deep breath and "just say no" to rubber button keypads.
In the afternoon I met with Dave Mayne, VP of marketing at Resolution Products, which today announced the release of its new Helix panel, scheduled to ship everywhere in December. Mayne said the panel reflects Resolution's goal of creating a panel that reduces the amount of time dealers need to spend servicing accounts, while giving them a pathway to adding new home control functions. The Helix employs software and interactive services from SecureNet. It will ship to a select group of early adopters in July, he said.
I also spoke with Kirk MacDowell, VP sales, intrusion-Americas, at Interlogix, about the company's recent acquisition of Ultra High Speed, a technology provider of telecommunications infrastructure equipment. The move expands the company's global intrusion portfolio in the residential and small- to medium-sized retail verticals. A big draw, MacDowell said, was that UHS was a "proven, developed and launched" service.
First thing tomorrow morning I'll be attending the ESX Rise and Shine breakfast, where I'll be listening closely to what some of the new entrants to the industry have to say about their go-to-market strategies and their vision for the security industry of tomorrow. I'm eager for this session, and from what I've heard from attendees, I'm not alone. I expect to see few if any empty seats.
Day 3 - ESX 2014
The final day of ESX began with a highly anticipated panel moderated by ESX chair George De Marco. The panel was intended to showcase how some of the new security entrants envision the direction of the industry.
The lineup included Adam Mayer, VP strategy and new business development, Time Warner Cable; Gene LaNois, GM, Nest Labs, Pro Channel; and Mike Hackett, VP sales and marketing, Qolsys.
De Marco did not refrain from asking the tough questions, or in other words, the questions the audience wanted to hear. In view of Google-owned Nest recently acquiring Dropcam, he asked LaNois if he thought third-party monitoring centers and installers would remain crucial components of security, or if DIY systems would factor them out of the equation. The response from LaNois, and from the other panelists who chimed in, were not exactly discouraging for installers or monitoring personnel. Yes, both LaNois and Mayer agreed the DIY market was poised to take off. But they also agreed that for more complex integration projects, installers will still be in high demand, and will continue to play a major role in shaping the industry moving forward. The key takeaways of the panel were that lifestyle services and monitored security can and will share a symbiotic relationship, and that DIY systems, while a threat to central station RMR, are not necessarily going to destroy the entire central station model. If anything, they might just modify it.
After the seminar I caught up with Telguard's Shawn Welsh, VP marketing and business development, and Pamela Benke, director of marketing, to discuss the company's new cellular alarm communicator for CDMA networks, the TG-1 Express CDMA. Welsh said the product goes along way toward expanding the company's residential reach, turning rural or hilly regions, where cellular coverage can be spotty, into more viable zones for Telguard's services. Compatible with Verizon's 3G/4G wireless networks, the CDMA alternative is being marketed as a replacement to soon-to-be obsolete GSM products. Telguard is making the product eligible for the company's Upgrade Incentive Program, which allows dealers to receive $25 for replacing GSM units.
On my final day at ESX, I got wind that the Partnership for Priority Video Alarm Response met its ESX deadline for developing video verification best practices. Mark McCall, IT director at Security Central, Keith Jentoft, president at Videofied-RSI Technologies, and Peter Tallman, program manager at Underwriters Laboratories shed some light on their roles in the process, and on the numeric threat evaluation criteria outlined in the new recommendations.
One of the most visible illustrations of the Internet of Things movement, the connected home continues to open up an expanding world of RMR possibilities for the security industry. But according to a recent CNN Money report, it's also opening up some new and murky legal terrain that, like many Internet-related matters, raises fundamental questions about privacy and information rights.
The headline is as blunt as it is Orwellian: "Cops can access your connected home." While the article references smart home technology writ large, the piece mostly focuses on the video aspect of the connected home and the potential for cameras to generate footage that could someday be used in legal proceedings.
In the article, Jay Stanley, a senior policy analyst from the American Civil Liberties Union, is quoted as saying, "We're seeing law enforcement across a variety of areas arguing that they should be able to access information with lower standards than before the electronic age."
The source also notes that information from the home can provide a "window into the things you're doing in your private space."
Still, authorities cannot get their hands on such footage without a warrant or subpoena, as the article notes. A judge authorizes a warrant when the prosecutors show "probable cause" that evidence exists that could be linked to criminal activity. Subpoenas, however, have a somewhat looser standard, requiring only that the data being sought is relevant to a given investigation.
Security companies offering interactive services are typically very sensitive to the notion that customers have lingering concerns about privacy. Andy Stadler, division manager, advanced services, at Security Partners, illustrated that awareness in our conversation a few weeks ago about the company's recent adoption of Alarm.com's new video verified alarm service. During the development phase, he said, Security Partners and Alarm.com took pains to erect privacy measures that would perform the dual task of giving central stations the information they need without infringing on the customer's privacy.
This left me wondering: With home automation offerings so widespread, could the implementation of more robust and consumer-friendly privacy measures emerge as a real differentiator? Are the more tech-savvy, privacy-conscious consumers going to start asking companies how long they store footage on their servers? Are they going to ask how and why authorities might access data generated in their homes? Are they going to ask about what cyber security measures are being put in place to thwart hacks?
This will be a fascinating industry topic to watch on several levels. At the business level, it could just be that the companies most attentive to privacy protections will view public skepticism as an opportunity rather than a hindrance.
LANCASTER, Pa.—Security Partners, a wholesale monitoring company based here, is optimistic about the potential of video verification in the residential market. That's one reason they're an early adopter of a new video verification service from Alarm.com, an interactive services company with an established presence in the home.
YARMOUTH, Maine—Much can be gleaned from the fourth annual Barnes Associates/SSN/CSAA wholesale monitoring survey, but if anything stands out about 2013, it's that overall growth was gaudy.
CORONA, Calif.—TriStar Monitoring, based here, may be a newcomer to the central station space, but the company's president and founder, Tim LeBlanc, is anything but.

I had some fun with different folds for todays' creative challenge. This first card is a tri-fold card made with a kraft card stock base.
I stamped the "Love U" from the Lovey Dovey Stamp set in Wild Cherry ink and then trimmed it out and mounted it on one of the Heart STAX.
The front panel was created by stamping several of the finishing flourishes stamps in Blu Raspberry ink.
The inside was fun to decorate too...I stamped rows of the Hearts & Stitches border in wild cherry ink. Finished with some Blu Raspberry card stock and a layered heart border.
Card #2 was done more matchbook style. The matchbook was created from the kraft cardstock. One piece measuring 4.25x11.
I used quite a combo of sets here. The sentiment on the outside is the "You + Me" from the Off the Charts set and the letters for "Match" are from the Vanity License Plate set.
The two little PI's are colored with my copics. I love that they "match".
Here is a look at the inside with sentiment stamped in wild cherry ink. A little bit of hemp string and a kraft button finish off the bottom.

| ||||||
Mixing It Up with Magcargo/VS Magcargo (Japanese: VS マグカルゴ VS Magcargot or 決意の再出発 Deciding to Restart) is the 216th round of the Pokémon Adventures manga.
Spoiler warning: this article may contain major plot or ending details. |
Flannery excitedly hugs Tabitha as Mt. Chimney erupts with a roar, Flannery exclaiming that they've managed to revive the volcano. But as soon as the eruption subsides, the volcano grows dormant again. Tabitha deduces that the fireball they sent into the heart of the volcano collided with the meteor energy of Team Aqua's destroyed machine, neutralizing it, and adds that if a fireball of that magnitude wasn't enough to kickstart the volcanic activity, then there's nothing else they can do. Tabitha vows to continue to increase the land mass with Team Magma for the good of Hoenn, and compliments Flannery on her skillful handling of fire before taking off on his Swellow, leaving a blushing Flannery behind.
Suddenly, Flannery remembers something important: Sapphire is still inside the ground beneath her, fighting against Team Aqua. In the cavern created by Secret Power, Sapphire, Chic, and Troppy continue battling, but Sapphire suddenly realizes something and has Chic and Troppy hold their fire. Approaching the "enemy," Sapphire discovers that a ring of Mirror Coat has been set up around them, reflecting all their attacks back upon themselves; Team Aqua have long since fled. Furious, Sapphire slams the ground in frustration, then sees something sparkling on the floor of the cavern and picks it up: a glittering rock fragment.
Once Sapphire returns outside, she and Flannery trade stories of their failures, Sapphire's is letting Team Aqua escape and Flannery's is being unable to revive the volcano. Flannery says she thinks the volcano won't last much longer, and looks sadly out towards Lavaridge Town in the distance, shedding a tear as she blames herself for being unable to protect the volcano despite being a Gym Leader.
Suddenly, Sapphire and Flannery notice that there's a hot spring nearby. Flannery guesses that the fireball she created managed to heat up the water here, and Sapphire dives in immediately. The two girls enjoy the hot spring, Flannery fully aware that Sapphire is trying to cheer her up after their failure, and Flannery asks Sapphire if she'll consent to have her official Gym battle right here in the hot spring. Sapphire is more than happy to oblige, and Flannery's Magcargo faces off against Chic, Chic hitting hard with Double Kick before the two Pokémon exchange Flamethrowers. Chic sneaks up behind Magcargo in the aftermath and cracks its shell with a powerful kick, but lava comes spewing out, damaging Chic.
After the battle, the girls climb out of the hot spring, since it's beginning to grow cold. Flannery reveals that her grandfather was a member of the Elite Four in his day, and his example is what has inspired her to become a Gym Leader. She swears she won't let Team Aqua get away with their evil deeds and tells Flannery that she's headed to the Pokémon Association to inform them and the other Gym Leaders about this threat. Sapphire says she'll work on getting stronger, too, and as Sapphire flies away on Troppy towards Fortree City, Flannery tosses her a souvenir: the Heat Badge.
The counter of the bet continues at 49 days.

Setting the Sony 40W905A up is a bit confusing, at least initially. While Sony's set lacks a colour management system of the sort found on most high-end TVs, it's got far more processing options than most rivals. In fact, there are more processing options than might actually be helpful – especially as some of them seem to do more harm than good.
This can make the 40W905A a little tricky to get the finest performance out of, but so long as you start from the position of treating all of the processing tools with a healthy sense of caution (setting them either off or at their lowest level of operating 'power' as a default starting point), you should be OK.
The stars of the 40W905A's processing show are its motion handling and its upscaling. With the former the processing is able to remove excessive judder and pretty much all resolution loss over moving objects without causing too many unwanted side effects or leaving the image looking unnatural. With the latter the ability of the upscaling processing to reduce noise without causing softness when converting even the lowest quality standard def – or, shudder, internet video – sources to the screen's full HD resolution is outstanding.
It's worth adding too, now that we seemed to have stumbled into actually testing the 40W905A, that its upscaling is unusually good when it comes to retaining the picture's colour palette, not suffering the drop off in richness and finesse witnessed when watching standard definition on some lesser LCD TVs.
As with any modern high-end TV, though, the Sony 40W905A deserves to be fed a diet of HD as often as humanly possible. And with this level of content – as with the previously tested Sony 55W905A – the 40W905A is a joy to behold.
There are two stars to the set's HD show. First and most importantly, its contrast range is immense. As with last year's Sony HX853 models, the Sony 40W905A uses local dimming with its edge LED light array unprecedentedly effectively, serving up what are for our money the richest, deepest black colours during dark scenes currently available on a 40-inch LCD TV.
This instantly gives films a cinematic authenticity, consistency and immersiveness that movie fans will adore. Even better, the excellence of the local dimming engine means the screen's intensely deep black colours are achieved without the light areas of predominantly dark pictures having their brightness compressed.
You can also make out plenty of shadow detail in dark areas, avoiding the hollow, flat look quite often seen with edge LED TVs during dark scenes, and perhaps most startlingly of all, the local dimming is somehow able to do its work while causing practically no haloes or 'light blocks' around bright parts of the image. There are no backlight clouds in the image's corners either, ensuring that even the most contrast-rich shots look pure and natural.
The other key strength of the Sony 40W905A is its colour response. We can't think of another 40-inch TV around right now that can match the sheer flexibility of the 40W905A's colour palette, as the Triluminos technology allows you to enjoy either ultra-vivid or extremely natural colour tones, depending on what sort of look you prefer. And whatever approach you go for the colour range on show exhibits a huge amount of subtlety when it comes to blends and tonal shifts.
Even when you've got the picture calibrated to deliver the closest colour match to the industry REC.709 video standard, interestingly the Triluminos system seems to deliver a slightly purer look to the palette than rival TVs.
The Sony 40W905A also delivers exemplary sharpness with HD sources, and it does so, moreover, without the picture looking stressy or full of dot crawl noise. The sharpness remains during action scenes too, thanks to Sony's impressive motion processing engine. Some of the many settings for this are more successful than others, and one or two are just plain weird. But the TrueCinema and Clear settings both work effectively without causing too many unwanted side effects or making the picture look too unnaturally fluid.
There are only two flaws with the 40W905A's pictures. First, its useful viewing angle is very limited. You really don't have to be watching from much of an angle at all before pictures – or at least the sides of pictures – start to lose contrast and colour, and the image even takes on a curious purple tinge if you watch from a quite steep angle.
We noticed these viewing angles issues on the 55W905A too, though it seems slightly more pronounced on the Sony 40W905A on account of this TV's smaller screen size. Also slightly more noticeable on the 40W905A is the reflective nature of its screen, since if you do see anything bright in your room reflected on the 40-inch TV, it takes up more of the relative screen real estate than it would on the 55-inch version.
"First, its useful viewing angle is very limited. You really don't have to be watching from much of an angle at all before pictures – or at least the sides of pictures – start to lose contrast and colour, and the image even takes on a curious purple tinge if you watch from a quite steep angle."
Would have thought that would instantly demote it from any kind of high score.
How can you possibly use this with more than one or two people in a room knowing that some are going to get a truly dreadful experience?
Trying to work out what this has over the newer plasma models which have both the stunning contrast needed for movies and can now hold their own in a bright room while getting colours spot on, something LCD TVs have never really been able to do properly.
SONY is bringing out some great TV's recently. I hope they keep this up.

Newer users often don't realize that the Folders panel in the Lightroom Library module can be used to rearrange your photos and folders. Below are some tips for using it. Note that whatever you do with this panel is in fact affecting your hard drive — you are just doing the work from within Lightroom. If you do this work outside of Lightroom with Finder or Explorer, Lightroom will lose its connection to your photos, and you will end up with question marks everywhere.
Using Lightroom's Folders Panel:
- Before you can move things around, you need to be able to see your folder hierarchy. For example, if you can't see that your 2011 folder lives within Pictures, right-click on 2011 and choose Add Parent folder, to reveal Pictures.
- To move a folder into a different folder, drag it and drop it on top of the folder you want to move it into.
- To rename a folder, right-click and choose Rename.
- To create a new subfolder, right-click on the folder it will go in, and choose Create Folder Inside…
- To delete a folder, first right-click on the folder and choose Show in Explorer/Finder. Verify that the folder is indeed empty (there may be files in it that are not showing in Lightroom), and delete it. Then go back to Lightroom, right-click on the folder again and choose Remove.
- To move photos from one folder to another, select them in the Grid, then click and drag from within any of the selected image thumbnails. (Dragging from the grey border will not work.)
- To rearrange photos within a folder, click and drag the image thumbnails in the grid. Note that you must be in a folder with no subfolders for this to work!
- To see if there are photos out in the folder on your hard drive that are not yet in Lightroom, right-click on the folder, and choose Synchronize Folder. If Lightroom finds any, it will launch the Import dialog for you, with these photos.
- If you have folders with question marks:
- If the folders still exist out on your hard drive, right-click on the folder and choose Find Missing Folder. Navigate to where the folder is on your hard drive, and select it.
- If the folders and the photos no longer exist on your hard drive, right-click and choose Remove.
- If the folder doesn't exist, but the photos are elsewhere, click on the question mark on the photo thumbnail in the grid, and choose Locate Missing Photo. Navigate to where the photo is on your hard drive, and select it.
Of course this and more is covered on my Lightroom Fundamentals and Beyond: A Workshop on DVD. Do check it out!

Help! My Photos Are Completely Unorganized and Lightroom is a Mess. How Can I Just Start All Over?
15 Responses to "Reorganize Your Photos and Folders Using the Lightroom Folders Panel"
I have used a plugin for LR3 that imported photos based on YYYY/Month format. I already have photos in that format but within each month I have subfolder based on event names, So 2010/December/Christmas at Mom's might be a subfolder path. The imported photos using the YYYY/Month format only land in the parent folder not in an event sub-folder. How can I find and select these photos so I can move them into a subfolder? When I click on the parent, all photos in the parent folder and subfolders show. But if I select each subfolder it won't show the photos in the parent folder by itself. What do you suggest?
Hi Bruce, to be able to see just the photos in the folder, not including what is in subfolders, in the menu bar go to Library, and uncheck "Show Photos in Subfolders". I find it useful to have it checked most of the time, but I do uncheck it for circumstances such as yours.
This blog is great! Thanks for the helpful tips! I have been trying to figure out how to delete folders in Lightroom. (I'm trying to reorganize) I have a Mac and from reading your instructions, it sounded more like instructions for a PC. Could you give a little more detail on how to remove unwanted folders from Lightroom on a Mac? Thank you!
Hi Katharine, the instructions apply to a Mac too:
To delete a folder, first right-click on the folder in the Folders panel and choose Show in
Explorer/Finder. Verify in the Finder window that pops up that the folder is indeed empty — by double-clicking on it to open it — (there may be files in it that are not showing in Lightroom), and then delete it. Close Finder, then go back to Lightroom, right-click on the folder in the Folders panel again and choose Remove.
[…] Reorganizing Your Files and Folders Using Lightroom's Folders Panel […]
I tried this and the one from Dec10, 2008 on moving Lightroom Catalog and have a problem. I am trying to move photo files from my Mac HD to an external drive due to disc space issues. Following the Dec 10 "How to" I got the catalog to show up as a file on the external drive and Lightroom3 points to it, but none of the photos moved. I tried the method above and clicked/dragged the Folder from the Mac HD to the external folder, but again, no photo files moved. I am almost out of disc space on my HD – what do I do now?? How do I get the big photo files to the external drive, delete from the HD, and still keep Lightroom connectivity and ratings/keywords/etc??
Bob, I would suggest following these instructions:
http://laurashoe.com/2011/11/09/reorganize-your-photos-and-folders-using-lightroom-folders-panel/First of course you have to have a folder on your external drive showing in your Folders panel. If you don't have one showing, put one photo on your external drive using Finder, and then import that photo into Lightroom.
I have created a subfolder and moved 73 keyworded photos into it by dragging as explained above but they are still visible in the parent folder.
What can I do to remove them from that folder so they are not visible in both places?..Thanks for your excellent blog and Lightroom tutorials :~)
Hi Gillie, they are not in fact in both places, they are just in the child. For the parent folder, Lightroom by default shows you everything in it, and in all of its subfolders. If you don't want it to, you can go to Library in the menu bar and uncheck Show Photos in Subfolders.
I'm glad you're enjoying the blog!
How do you move pictures from one folder to another of more than 2 or more?
I think I may have put some in the wrong labeled folder and want to move 2 or more images to another folder, but still keep the folder that i accidently put them in. thanks, art
Hi Art, first, select the photos: if they are next to each other, click on the first, then shift-click on the last; if they are not next to each other, click on the first, then Ctl/Cmd-click on each additional one. Then drag from inside one of the photo thumbnails over into the correct folder in the Folders panel.
Laura,I use Maverick and just installed Lightroom 5.3. How do I set up Lightroom in the finder window with Crystal's Lightroom photos being the main folder where all my photos wind up and individual sub folders containing groups of photos? E.g., a sub folder called New Zealand,another called Tahiti,etc.
Hi Crystal,
I apologize for overlooking your question – unfortunately it got lost amid the constant spam. You have probably figured this out, but for new shoots, this is specified in the Destination panel in the Import dialog. Here are videos on this: http://laurashoe.com/2012/03/08/getting-started-with-lightroom-3-or-lightroom-4-importing-photos-and-videos/
For photos already in Lightroom, you'll reorganize your folders using the Folders panel, as the video in this post shows.
You, ma'am have saved my proverbial bacon. ALL OF THE THANKS.
Hi Laura,
I just imported my Aperture library into LR5, and all the images are in the collection section. I want to use the folder section, however, to be my overarching organizational structure, and continue with the same org structure that I used in Aperture. How can I get the Aperture images to be in folders? Is there an easy way to move them there? Thanks!

--New York Post, September 15, 2005
I'm going to miss those New York Post and Daily News headline writers.
You see, the August numbers are in, and the newspaper industry is looking increasingly like the "dead-tree press" as it was dismissively dubbed by the Yahoos of the world during the Internet Bubble days.
Total ad revenue among the big three—Gannett, Knight-Ridder and Tribune—ranged from up 1.2% to down 0.6%...during a period of strong economic growth and record consumer spending.
In the old days—i.e. the last economic cycle—ad revenues would have been up 5% or more in this environment.
Most ominous was the collapse in so-called "national" advertising—those ridiculous Microsoft ads, for example, showing office-workers wearing dinosaur heads and muttering about Dilbert-type office-worker concerns such as getting their Power Point slides to the Big Meeting on time—which tanked 5.5% at Tribune and 8.2% at Gannett.
Advertising aside, the other key to a newspaper's health—circulation—continued its unhealthy trend, from barely flat, to down a couple percent, depending on the paper…about in line with the rate at which readers are dying off.
(Tribune's circulation revenues were down 8.6%, demonstrating that you can both cut price and lose volume at the same time.)
I do not mean to dance on anybody's grave. If anything, I root for the newspaper industry because, a) I grew up reading the papers (and remember the Daily News headline, FORD TO NY: DROP DEAD, upon which the title to this piece is based), and b) I have a longstanding investment in one of the smaller, better run newspaper chains.
The paradox is that poor revenue trends aside, the newspaper business is still blessed with huge cash flow margins and low capital needs.
At the end of the day I suspect most of the chains—especially those that are controlled by families such as the New York Times and Dow Jones—will go private…either slowly via share repurchases as management disinvests in the business, or all at once as the families see more value in their heritage than Wall Street's Finest are willing to give them.
In the meantime, we still need a healthy newspaper industry, if for no other reasons than to keep the headline writers at the New York Post and the Daily News busy.

This is payback time for the newspapers. Years ago when being a paper boy or girl was still a possibility (as long as one had a bike), the newspapers' message to the paper boys and girls was "Drop dead!" Guess what? Those paper boys and girls grew up to be internet executives. PBCBAB.

The classified sections in particular are withering from free competition. In a short time, craigslist has achieved dominance over classified advertising in scores of metro areas worldwide. The print medium for classifieds cannot compete with the margins, flexibility, and immediacy of craigslist. Yet another reason why newspapers will have to recalibrate long term growth expectations lower. And whither EBITDA margins? Less than 10%? Less than 5%? As the businesses are structured now, they are heading much lower than most analysts can imagine.

I googled "leather couch" last year thinking i would find a sale in Paramus or Wayne NJ . A used one showed up on craigslist. It was the right size and in great shape. I figured i saved about $300 . I was thrilled. Still am . I no longer buy print papers.
- aralls said...
If you post regularly to Craigslist (I do – at least to the Buy/Sell section), you may have noticed that you can now sign up for a Craigslist account, where you can track, edit, and delete all of your posts on one page. It used to be that you had to track down each individual email that Craigslist sent you after posting in order to edit/delete posts. If you have an account, you may have noticed the "Fee" column on the right side of the page. It's currently set to $0.00 on every post, but it looks like that eBay's 25% ownership may mean that CL starts charging for Buy/Sell posts, at least.

The idea that the papers go private has been tossed about a good deal. But the math behind buyouts at current valuations is difficult, despite your comments on cash flow margins and capex requirements. The leverage ratios implied by buyouts of stocks already trading at 9-10 times their cash flow are high. It seems to me the news flow and share price performance needs to stay bad for a good while longer before anything substantial happens on the takeout front.

definitely a rebordering of the media landscape w/ad revenues going more online (gotta come from somewhere) and ink stained wretches get more than their fair share of reduction because of a decline in quality (all thos staff cuts has an impact) and a lack of innovation to keep pace w/online media...ok, youre not the fastest (neither was Jordan or Bonds) but they put up big numbers as they got older.....i miss the days of spending 3 hours w/NYT or even a full cup of joe over the SF Chronicle....man, when was the last time you really learned something of meaningful value?

You know, with TRB, many forget that TRB suffered from a circulation scandal both at Newsday and Hoy last year. I think the scandals scared off a lot of potential advertisers, causing them to rethink their classified ad strategies and move them online, a la Craig's List and EBay.
There obviously is a fundamental shift going on in how people get their news and advertise their wares. The success of Yahoo as a "content aggregator" (when you get down to it, Yahoo is nothing more than a web portal that gathers, stores and categorizes news, pictures and data for people to peruse) has really put the hammer on newspaper's revenue stream, both from advertising as well as circulation.
The key question which I think needs to be answered is: will the shift in advertising and, more importantly, reading trends, reduce the operating cash flow margins of newspapers over the long haul? Or can papers fight back the rising tide of content aggregators like Yahoo by "monetizing" their online content? Only time will tell... - 9/15/2005 10:32 PM

Aaron Koral asked "Will the shift in advertising and, more importantly, reading trends, reduce the operating cash flow margins of newspapers over the long haul?" The answer to that is yes. Newspapers aren't monetizing the Internet and are vastly behind the trend. None of them own TV stations to leverage the brand and they're not re-selling their news to other vendors. Blogging and Internet newsbreaks substantially replace the printed word. If we get a breaking story mid-day, we read about it on the net and watch the news as the story develops. The newspaper rarely adds much in the way of detail to a story that can't be immediately superseded by a TV story. What do they do best? Lifestyles, local news, and in-depth investigative reports (that also have a local bent). Straight national and international news is just a waste of space. We're getting that from too many other sources. The newspaper must morph into a product that can be beamed to your email/Blackberry/watch/brain in real time. Only then might they offer more depth or variety than TV or Internet. Will consumers pay for that? Will advertisers pay for that? Pandora opened the box. We're getting all this stuff for free now. That's why advertising and classifieds are deflating. Can newspapers prove they are still relevant? Probably not without destroying their current financial and corporate structures.

The plovers near the water were accompanied by hundreds of Dunlin and Sanderlings, but the plovers tended to keep their distance from the two sandpiper species and not mix with them in any significant way.
I checked each of the plovers as carefully as possible for any sign of bands or color markers on their legs, but I did not see any. Some Piping Plovers that winter in the Bahamas have been marked with colored plastic bands; if you happen to see one, report it following the directions at the link. One that was sighted by Andrew on Long Island last year and then re-sighted in the Bahamas; at least one Bahamas plover has already been reported this spring in Connecticut.
As a bonus, here are a couple of American Oystercatchers that were in the same area.
