Skip to comments.Muslims, Atheists Pressure Military to Remove Christian Speaker
Posted on 01/31/2012 11:38:13 AM PST by Hunton Peck
The U.S. Military Academy pressured a retired U.S. lieutenant general to withdraw from speaking at a West Point prayer breakfast after Muslims and atheists complained, Fox News & Commentary has learned.
Retired Lt. Gen. William Boykin was scheduled to deliver a speech at West Point on Feb. 8. But late Monday, the military academy released a statement saying he had decided to withdraw from speaking and would be replaced with another speaker.
However, a source close to the controversy told Fox News & Commentary that Boykin was pressured to withdraw.
It was very clear they wanted General Boykin to withdraw, said the source who asked not to be identified. He asked them to rescind the invitation, but they were reluctant to do that so he said he would take them off the hook.
Theresa Brinkerhoff, a spokesperson for West Point, told Fox News & Commentary that the U.S. Military Academy did not decide this for him.
After a conversation with our chaplain, Lt. Gen. Boykin decided to withdraw, Brinkerhoff wrote in an email.
Boykin, a former senior military intelligence officer, had been criticized for speeches he made at evangelical Christian churches where he said that Americans enemy is Satan, that God had put President Bush in the White House and that a Muslim Somali warlord was an idol-worshipper.
He later issued a written statement apologizing and said he didnt mean to insult Islam.
However, Boykin became a target for atheists and Muslim groups. They launched a campaign to force the military to remove the retired lieutenant general from the West Point prayer event.
Mr. Boykins intolerant views do a disservice to our nations longstanding traditions of religious freedom and pluralism and could potentially harm our countrys interests and the security of our troops overseas, Nihad Awad, executive director of the...

Administration influence guaranteed.
Just when I think things can't get any STOOPIDER I read something like this. Nobody better die and make me queen. I'd like in what lifetime I have left to see this country get back to it's religious roots and make political correctness a crime punishable by death! Sheesh!
Someday, "we" need to grow some true courage and face our true enemy.
God has not given us these gifts that we should be ashamed to give him credit or hide our faith.
If we do not defend our faith, neither will God continue to shed his grace on us.
Is right! They decry intolerance ...what is this...?
Muslims and Commies have a common enemy. Jews and Christians.
We need to ban the most destructive force known to mankind, particularly western man over the last 1400 years ...the cancer known as Islam. What are they doing in our military anyway? Here we see a invasive force with its own constitution (embedded and implicit in Sharia) pushing our internal structures around in OUR military!
Between them and Obama we have some real problems. America needs to recognize islam for what it is! Its hardly a religion, rather, a system for world domination by backwards tribal raiders and warriors.
There should be a law withing our military... muslims not welcome!
No, not CAIR.
Blame LTG Boykin.
The good general should grow a pair. What kind of beliefs could he have held if he caved so easily?
He shouldn't apologize for insulting Islam. It is reprobate and should be exposed as such.
"Administration influence guaranteed."
I agree.
I understand Gen. Boykin's comments can put fear into some Muslims.. and I am compassionate to a fault.
I remember the time when Americans of Japanese origin were relocated to remote areas for their own safety. (Mostly, but some who were suspected of helping Imperial Japan were held in camps.)
Some Muslims living here express great concern for their safety.. well we can do no less to protect them than we did to protect the Americans of Japanese origin -- and the sooner the better.
Keep on yanking the junk yard dogs' chains, Muhammed. That's real smart.
Leftists and communists working together? Gee where have I heard that before? I have only met and shook hands with two Generals... Sir, why didn't you stand your ground? I do not understand why this is not addressed as Free Speech. Our continued capitulation will cost our children and grandchildren dearly.
I'm worried for my kids.
Fu***** military so PC it sucks to be in, glad I retire 31 years ago.
You are right. I've met Boykin - now I know he is a wuss with a barrel chest.
Someone, or some-thing, has to put a stop to this insanity. This is such a bitch-slap to this Republic that no one should allow it to persist.
Someone, or some-thing, has to put a stop to this insanity. This is such a bitch-slap to this Republic that no one should allow it to persist.
And the war on Christianity continues.
Remember, Rick Perry was the first to bring this to the forefront.
Too bad the establishment crucified the only true Conservative in the race.
I think they should have as a speaker that Islamic women who had her fingers chopped off by her husband because she wanted to go to college. Islamic law apparently condoned the action.
This way they can have a Muslim giving a speech...
What you wrote reminded me of an email I received with some links to a video lecture regarding islam. I admit so far I only watched the first two, but they were very interesting especially the part about Christians and our need to be "nice." I definitely don't think I will be comfortable calling anyone nice again, nor will I like being called nice. The word nice is really quite insulting and is not what God wants us to be.
Now folks, we can't be having those Christians speaking at our prayer breakfasts, now, can we?
Ever think that he was heeding the words, "If no one welcomes you or listens to your words, as you leave that house or town, shake its dust off your feet." ?
Sometimes it is not a matter of standing up and fighting. It is a matter of knowing when you have fought the fight and God has released you to move on.
We have no idea how long he pleaded his case.
Maybe he was being "nice" when he should have been bold and trusted in the Lord.
If he had stood up there calling for Jihad against Americans (like the Fort Hood shooter), this wouldn't be an issue.
Folks remember we need to pressure them to KEEP the Christian Speaker!!!!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE
I try to be fair. These a$$wipes make it hard.
I am a Catholic thanks to a US Army Chaplain who was Catholic. I am sane (debatable, I know) thanks to a UK Army chaplain who happened to be Muslim.
Both ran none denominational services. Just celebrating God without our differences. Both were good and godly men in any and all senses of the word, who advised, helped and hurt along with us. Fought along side us.
I know that it is the thing here to blame Muslims for any crap like this. Atheists are FAR worse.
You are attacking the wrong enemy. Muslims are the enemy of the day. Atheists mock everything you believe in.
Islam and atheism worship the same false god.
Some in each group are fooled into believing otherwise. They're the "nice" and "sincere" ones, who are capable of fooling others, who are susceptible to being fooled by such shallow qualities, and who also tend to value the equally shallow concept, "fairness".
I disagree.
There are honest, devout and god loving Muslims. It has been my privlege to know two of them in the course of my life. They ARE rare - but it would be dishonest of me to say they do not exist. No one said witnessing was easy. I have witnessed two. Should that offend you, so be it.
There is no such thing as an honest, devout and god loving Athiest. A person who rejects god cannot be godly. To borrow a phrase from the muslims, Atheists are haram. It is a more satisfying word than simply evil, with undertones of slime and foulness.
I han't insult you by dictating, but you have read "The Last Battle" by C. S. Lewis.
We're not "passing through".
We're here for the duration and have NOT fought hard enough.
In fact we'ver rolled over and accepted the abomonation.
Time to engage more forcefully!
If all you're saying is that Muslims can find the one, true God (after which they are no longer Muslim), then we agree. If you're saying that Muslims can find God and remain Muslim, then we could not disagree more.
BTW, many an atheist has found God also, but not while remaining an atheist.
I have been thinking on this. How to explain, and I can not. I will try, not been a lightning rod for at least a week! (note to the Viking Kittys - hold the Zot til Friday, I am pledged to pay my share of the paulbotzap thing by then!)
The two people I mentioned, one man, one woman, walk the path of truth and right. They walk with God. Their sheer joy in life, in following God's word, in doing good works and living as a testament is inspiring. They simply happen to call God Allah. Don't know about you, but I have called God many things less complimentary.
The man is Alawi. This is a man who, by his own beliefs, risked his soul every Friday when he read from the Torah. Because some of the flock under his care needed it.
I have seen him, with my own eyes, crying because he could not give the Last Rites to a dying man, and a Catholic Chaplain couldn't make it in time. Rules suck sometimes, right?
The woman is Sunni. She is just good. There is no other way to describe her.
Basically, there are good people out there. People who follow the will of God. He speaks to us all, and someone elses path is not mine. I judge on actions, and I can no more know how God speaks to another as I can know the thoughts of a stone.
The vast majority of Muslims I know personally are not good people. Then again, I can say the same for well over half of the congregation in our church. Never met a godly Sikh and half the neighborhood is made up of them.
If someone is good and godly, I WILL testify to it. I do not care if they are Buddhist, Shinto, Muslim or even Baptist.
Sorry for the long post.
Obamas 2009 Supplemental Appropriations for Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Pandemic Flu was revised and passed by the full committee.
It gives billions http://creepingsharia.wordpress.com/2009/05/1...
of U.S. taxpayer dollars to countries and entities that support Sharia law and/or harbor, hide and support those who want to destroy the U.S. and our allies.
Read the summary from David Obeys office that was quietly released last week with nary a word from any media.
$3.6 billion, matching the request, to expand and improve capabilities of the Afghan security forces
$400 million, as requested, to build the counterinsurgency capabilities of the Pakistani security forces
Afghanistan:$1.52 billion,$86 million above the request
West Bank and Gaza:$665 million in bilateral economic, humanitarian, and security assistance for the West Bank and Gaza
Jordan:$250 million,$250 million above the request, including $100 million for economic and $150 million for security assistance
Egypt:$360 million,$310 million above the request, including $50 million for economic assistance,$50 million for border security, and $260 million for security assistance
Pakistan:$1.9 billion,$591 million above the request
Iraq:$968 million,$336 million above the request
Oversight:$20 million,$13 million above the request, to expand oversight capacity of the State Department, USAID, and the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan to review programs in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iraq
Lebanon:$74 million
International Food Assistance:$500 million,$200 million above the request, for PL 480 international food assistance to alleviate suffering during the global economic crisis
Refugee Assistance:$343 million,$50 million above the request, including humanitarian assistance for Gaza. Funding for the UN Relief and Works Agency programs in the West Bank and Gaza is limited to $119 million (Note: Gaza = Hamas)
Disaster Assistance:$200 million to avert famines and provide life-saving assistance during natural disasters and for internally displaced people around the world, including Somalia, Zimbabwe, Ethiopia, the Middle East and South Asia
Peacekeeping:$837 million for United Nations
peacekeeping operations, including an expanded mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and a new mission in Chad and the Central African Republic
Department of Justice:$17 million, matching the request, for counter-terrorism activities and to provide training and assistance for the Iraqi criminal justice system
Obama gives your tax dollars to rebuild Muslim mosques around the world
http://canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/... #
ACCORDING TO THE ASSOCIATED PRESS, THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION WILL GIVE AWAY NEARLY $6 MILLION OF AMERICAN TAX DOLLARS TO RESTORE 63 HISTORIC AND CULTURAL SITES, INCLUDING ISLAMIC MOSQUES AND MINARETS, IN 55 NATIONS. See the State Department document here.
And THATS just the tip of the iceberg.
THIS will blow your mind!!
They should have 2010 up, but they dont. Thats where youll find Obamas largesse towards Muslim countries really go off the charts.

"Florida" Top 5 Page for this destination Venice by hayward68
Venice Travel Guide: 52 reviews and 85 photos
My friends Julie, Anne and I headed off to Florida early December in '96 for a little R&R. We thought we'd be lazing on the beach or lying by the pool all day. We did our fair share of that, but also managed to practically melt our credit cards with the amount of shopping we did. We hit the outlet malls with a vengeance and came home loaded with new clothes. A perfect week :)
I've just moved this info from my Florida page and revamped it a little with more info and pics.

Hi, Laura! Thanks for your interesting page here! ><><><
Great information about Venice! Come back and see us soon, we loved it so much we moved here...
I know that name. I would like to add this Venice to my next trip although I am not a beach fun. Thanks for showing more. Haha, Christmas in the sun - really unbelievable!
Yes, Sarasota County is the most interesting place in Florida!
Know what you mean about seeing poinsettias growing outside in winter... They took me by surprise, too, albeit in Guatemala at Lake Atitlan...
Sounds a great place Laura, Joe could do the theme park, while me and Wayne could cruise the canals :-)
I have been to Venice many times and it is all that you say it is.
:) Cool about the poinsettas from a fellow Canadian!
Very good info and photos - going late December

Hey, I really like this one!
I love the new, subtle additions and changes Bui has made within this body of work. It's exciting to see young artists not only find a distinct voice and style, but consistently work within it as it matures. I can't wait to see how it takes shape in the coming years...

In the last 24 hours, USA Today and The Christian Science Monitor have both released less than cheery articles on the future of faith in America.
"The percentage of people who call themselves in some way Christian has dropped more than 11% in a generation," reports Cathy Lynn Grossman of USA Today. "The faithful have scattered out of their traditional bases: The Bible Belt is less Baptist. The Rust Belt is less Catholic. And everywhere, more people are exploring spiritual frontiers - or falling off the faith map completely."
The American Religious Identification Survey (ARIS) found that, "despite growth and immigration that has added nearly 50 million adults to the U.S. population, almost all religious denominations have lost ground since the first ARIS survey in 1990."
That means that religious people are not simply being redistributed from one religion or denomination to another, but that more and more people are abandoning all faith altogether.
According to ARIS findings, "So many Americans claim no religion at all (15%, up from 8% in 1990), that this category now outranks every other major U.S. religious group except Catholics and Baptists." (You can read the rest here.
Bleak news, perhaps. But not as bleak, or specific, as Michael Spencer's observations at The Christian Science Monitor. Spencer argues, "We are on the verge - within 10 years - of a major collapse of evangelical Christianity. This breakdown will follow the deterioration of the mainline Protestant world and it will fundamentally alter the religious and cultural environment in the West."
Spencer's predictions do not end with the fate of evangelicalism. He sees antagonistic political postures and declining public support of evangelical Christianity on the horizon. "This collapse will herald the arrival of an anti-Christian chapter of the post-Christian West," he writes. "Intolerance of Christianity will rise to levels many of us have not believed possible in our lifetimes, and public policy will become hostile toward evangelical Christianity, seeing it as the opponent of the common good."
According to Spencer, the result will be that "evangelicalism [will] look more like the pragmatic, therapeutic, church-growth oriented megachurches that have defined success."
Spencer may show his cards when he prophesies the hope for the church's future: "We can rejoice that in the ruins, new forms of Christian vitality and ministry will be born. I expect to see a vital and growing house church movement. This cannot help but be good for an evangelicalism that has made buildings, numbers, and paid staff its drugs for half a century." (Read the rest here.)
Together these articles raise interesting questions. Is the decline of religious adherence in the U.S. a sign of the death of evangelicalism? Or is it an opportunity for the gospel? From where you stand, do you see evangelical Christianity on course to certain demise, or is there hope for maintaining the movement in its current form? What needs to change? What must we preserve? Remember, keep it short and keep it civil.

Gold and silver outlook for July 2011 0 commentsJul 5, 2011 10:38 AM | about stocks: GOLD
Gold and silver showed weakness during June as they did during the previous month of May. Could it be that the appeal of gold and silver as a safe heaven was less true in recent months than it was in recent years? What is up ahead for gold and silver prices in July 2011? Let's examine the precious metals market for June and try and provide an outlook for gold and silver for July 2011.For the complete Gold and silver price July outlook see here.
Gold and silver June 2011
During June, silver fell sharply in three pulses at the beginning of the month (June 2nd); at the middle of the month
(June 10-14); at the end of the month (June 22-27). On the other hand, gold changed very moderately during most of June and had a sharp decline only near the end of the month (June 22-24).
By the end of the month, the two precious metals fell in June by 2.2% for gold and 9.1% for silver.
The chart below shows the changes in gold and silver during June, in which the prices were normalized to 100 on May 31st 2011.
The sharper decline in silver compared with gold during most of June was demonstrated in the rise of the ratio of gold to silver during June; the chart below shows that there was an upward trend in the gold to silver ratio during most of June as gold outperformed silver.Notice that during the first half of June, the USD had strengthened against major currencies, which might explain the drop in gold and silver during the first half of June; during the second half of June the US dollar weakened, yet gold and silver kept on falling. Let's examine the key factors that might have affected gold and silver in June.
When breaking the month of June into two parts, one can see that during the first half of June silver fell very sharply by 5.7%, while gold declined by only 0.9%; at the second half of the month, the tables have turned and gold fell by a higher rate of 1.8% (than in the first half of June), while silver declined by only 2%.
For the complete Gold and silver price July outlook see here.

Fresh Eurozone Worries Send Markets Tumbling
The situation in Europe has the markets worried today. At one point, the Dow Jones was down 353 points, while the Standard & Poor's shed 3 percent and the Nasdaq wasn't far behind with a 2.9 percent loss.
What set the market skidding? The Wall Street Journal pins the blame on three things: Worries of a Greek default, the resignation of a European Central Bank board member and worries about President Obama's just-announced jobs plan.
The paper reports:
The increasing possibility of a Greek default sent stocks to fresh session lows. Investors worry that a default is becoming a more likely scenario. The fear of how markets and the global economy would react to such a issues is one of the big issues weighing on investor sentiment.
"People are definitely spooked because you're never quite sure what the secondary effects are going to be," said Ben Halliburton, chief investment officer at Tradition Capital Management. "It's impossible to say until it actually happens."
One analyst Bloomberg spoke to concurs:
"There's that nagging thought that we can continue to have a downward spiral in Europe," James Dunigan, chief investment officer in Philadelphia for PNC Wealth Management, said in a telephone interview. The firm oversees $109 billion. "There's concern of a default, of risk in banks, of a liquidity crisis. In the U.S., even as President Obama made an effort to put that plan together, there's not a whole lot of confidence that Congress will pass."
The euro also had a tough time today, dropping 3.8 percent against the dollar.
Update at 4:51 p.m. ET. Stocks Close Lower:
The Dow, Nasdaq and the S&P closed almost 3 percent down.

By Jennifer Scales, Fort Stewart Public AffairsJanuary 26, 2012
FORT STEWART, Ga. - The Civilian Education System Intermediate Course, currently offered at Fort Belvoir, Va., will soon be moving to a different building … different area … different state.
That information came from John Hart, director of the Intermediate Course.
"All army commands have been briefed that all civilian education courses are being consolidated at Fort Leavenworth, Kan.," said Hart.
The Basic Course is already there, so joining it would be the Intermediate and Advance courses.
The intent is to have courses in place by Sept. 30, but if that date is not met, it is definitely scheduled to happen. The date may shift due to movement and placement of Civilians to support the new academics.
"This is not going to effect the students who plan on attending the courses," Hart said. "It only shifts the location."
Why Leavenworth? "There has always been a portion of the CES course there, and the move is the most effective," Hart said. "The facilities there are being updated and some expansion is still ongoing."In the mean time though, Hart said that students can still apply to attend the on site course at Belvoir. "Courses are programmed through September 2012. If anyone applies, they can expect to come here, but there could come a time where they may be notified of the change in venue for schools."
Hart, who has been the director since October 2006, has seen over 2500 graduates come through the IC.
"The intent is to improve leadership at the organizational level. In IC, they get to exercise skills and competencies required for a Civilian organizational leader," said Hart.
Students in attendance have come from every command and location throughout the Army, which includes such places as the Marshall Islands, Korea, and Europe.
Hart revealed that the course is not limited to Civilians. Any military person who supervises Civilians is allowed to attend the course offering. However, they would have to be funded by their own organization.
When asked for the profile of the students who attend the IC, Hart noted that they are typically GS 12-13 or equivalent; has six to 10 years of federal service; and have less than one year of military service.
Randy Scales, Call for Fire/FSCATT training instructor with Fort Stewart-Hunter Army Airfield Directorate of Plans, Training, Mobilization, and Security, attended the first class for Fiscal Year 12 at Fort Belvoir.
"I truly enjoyed attending the course", said Scales. "It gives you an opportunity to share ideas, test your skills, and abilities with other Army Civilian leaders. The course challenges you to think outside the box and forces you to take an honest look at yourself as a leader. It also places you in a position to work as a team with others who may have a different style of leadership than your own."
Six months after course graduation, Civilians who attended and their supervisors, will be reached for input regarding the benefits of the course.
Hart noted that in the recent responses from supervisors, 60 percent relayed they a lot more confidence in employee performance; over 75 percent believe the curriculum taught is current; 90 percent can see improvement in their employees; while 98 percent stated they would recommend the IC.
The 96 percent of IC graduating students have stated they are better organization leaders. The other four percent had not reached a level/position of leadership.
Not to be left out of the equation are the instructors who lead the students toward their improved leadership.
"This is an absolute phenomenal faculty," said Hart. "The pool of instructors come from other Army Civilians who meet the skill sets announced in the job."
When it comes to the academics of the IC, Hart states that he has a pretty good comparison of Army school instruction, as he has been a graduate of every army school of the officers to include the Army War College.
"Our focus is on skills required for a Civilian," said Hart. "We are not teaching skills for an army officer or army NCO would receive. These skills we teach make a Civilian become more effective as a leader."
Fiona Burdick, PHD, professor of civilian leader development of IC and Basic agrees with Hart. Having taught over 600 students, she also strives to incorporate knowledge of leadership community skills, feedback, and problem solving.
"I have gotten feedback from students which included appreciation for the help to them getting promoted. Regardless of where a person is in their government career, coming to the Intermediate Course can definitely help them learn a lot."
Going to the IC is not for those who are going just to 'check the block' or who have no desire to expound on their career set.
"Coming here is for those who want to continue and develop their skills in the Army" concluded Hart.

From the moment we arrived, we were totally charmed by the entire property. Diana greeted us so warmly, and made sure we were happy with our room. We stayed in the master suite on the second floor. It was a beautiful room! My favorite room was the spacious bathroom with all the colorful tiles. The bed was very comfortable, and there was lots of storage shelves, drawers and closets for our belongings, with a safe in the bedroom. The suite also included a great kitchen, with a large fridge. We had air conditioning, which was a nice option when the weather got still. We opened our doors to a lovely tiled terrace where we could sit and watch the pool area and the restaurant below, and we could see through the palm trees to the ocean. Wendy always brought us our drinks by the pool with a big smile! The location was very close to downtown Limon, and not far from Cahuita. Diana highly recommended our guide, Reymond Smith. I can't say enough about him. He really made our vacation fantastic! He took us on a guided tour of Cahuita National Park, and went out of his way to show us sights we would have never seen, like a banana plantation and factory, and all around Limon, including the big Catholic church and a good seafood restaurant near the beach. We had everything we needed at the Hotel Playa Westfalia, and I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the Carribean Coast of Costa Rica.

Splitting Crime prevention and prevalence into two sections[edit]
Due to the amount of information now in the Crime Prevention of Prevalence section I propose splitting these into two distinct sections: Crime Prevention and Prevalence. It will make it easier to read. Any thoughts?Infocourse (talk) 22:44, 16 October 2011 (UTC)
Changes to Crime prevention and prevalence Section[edit]
I am proposing to add a few changes to this section. First I would like to add a small notation on the cost-benefit of the installation of CCTV for crime prevention as currently this is missing. Second, I would like to add a counter argument to Public Area CCTV and Crime Prevention: An Updated Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis article to provide a more well rounded view to this section of the article. Infocourse (talk) 22:34, 16 October 2011 (UTC)
Article Title[edit]
I noticed that the term "Video Surveillance" links to the "Closed-Circuit Television" (CCTV)article. Do you agree on having two different articles, one for video surveillance and a separate one for CCTV? Video surveillance is more than a fixed camera like CCTV is. Thoughts? --RPT01 (talk) 16:25, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
- I think that having the Video Surveillance article link in here may no longer be appropriate. Times change. While at one time virtually all video surveillance used or was CCTV, that is clearly no longer the case. So I support your idea to reconsider the article title. If something gets going on this later on, someone please invite me back. N2e (talk) 21:03, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
- I agree about the split. On U.S. campuses, closed circuit television can refer to the campus-only (often cable) television network consisting of a mix of local productions and entertainment networks like mtvU, Zilo, and the former Burly Bear. 18.104.22.168 (talk) 07:54, 21 November 2009 (UTC)
- I support the split: The term closed circuit TV (CCTV) is a tired tern used in the 70's and 80's. Few professionals in the industry refers to the industry as CCTV anymore. The key term is Video Surveillance. Checking the search volume on google for both terns clearly shows video surveillance dominates 4 to 1 over CCTV as the reference used for the technology and the industry.[—Preceding unsigned comment added by Scm research (talk • contribs)
- Also supporting the split. Suggestion to change the title to "Video Surveillance" and including a general and modern definition of video surveillance, background, history and technology contributions. All different technologies should be split to their own articles. 220.127.116.11 (talk) 13:26, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
I don't see a reason for a multiway split. Most the article is about security cameras, their technology and politics. That's what should be split off, into Security camera which would mostly be about the use of video for this purpose but would also mention the automatic film cameras that were used in many banks in the 1970s. Old and tired as the term "CCTV" may be it is still a distinctive topic; merely one not dominated anymore by a single application. Jim.henderson (talk) 02:47, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
Instead of splitting, how about renaming it Video surveillance?
We could keep a paragraph talking about the historical use of "closed-circuit television".
Pnm (talk) 02:08, 15 May 2010 (UTC)
I agree with the split. It would make a lot of sense. Maybe CCTV (Surveillance) and CCTV (Television)? Quintusπ talk 01:29, 26 October 2010 (UTC)
- Isn't it all television? Jim.henderson (talk) 06:03, 8 December 2010 (UTC)
- Split declined for now. (Video) surveillance is an aspect of CCTV which is explained in the article. There is no specific section on surveillance in general - the nearest would be Crime prevention and prevalence in the UK. If (when?) a section on surveillance develops to an extent it becomes too large then it can be split out per WP:Summary style. SilkTork *YES! 22:23, 14 March 2011 (UTC)
Hi, guys~ I've been lead here to find some useful guidence about how to understand the architecture and technics of digital surveillance video system with popular IT technologies, and how to build my own one. But I find little I want. The ideas to create a sperated article of surveillance system, I think that may help engineers like me. I suggest that article should have a large part descripting the relationships of those protocols, like H.264, MPEG4, SIP, etc. If I made myself not so confused with those issues, I would pay my contribution within that page, I promise~ --Esmool (talk) 16:30, 16 April 2011 (UTC+8)
CCTV!=Closed-circuit television[edit]
When I enter CCTV it will be redirected here. But CCTV also means China Central Television. --Peterxj108 (talk) 13:34, 8 November 2010 (UTC)
- There is a note at the top of the article directing people to CCTV (disambiguation) which lists China Central Television. SilkTork *YES! 22:25, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

Outside the UK[edit]
It mentions New York City but cites a statistic from 1998. Seems a bit out of date to be in an article like this. MDuchek (talk) 16:05, 12 July 2011 (UTC)

I would like to add a section dealing with the history of CCTV in the United States. As of right now there is mostly information only dealing with the United Kingdom. Shannahan15 (talk) 22:14, 17 October 2011 (UTC)
Looking for feedback on a contribution to the "Privacy" section.[edit]
On October 25th, 2011, I contributed to the "Privacy" section of the CCTV Wikipedia article. Two sentences had been posted in the second paragraph, the first of which brought up two points: 1) Positive views of CCTV argue that the cameras do not violate people's privacy, and 2) In public space, a person's right to privacy "can reasonably be weighed against the intended benefits of surveillance". The first point was responded to in the sentence that followed, but the second point was not addressed, so I contributed a scholarly response with the hope of making this part of the Privacy section more balanced, neutral and comprehensive. Any thoughts? I'd love to hear some feedback from contributors and administrators on this. W charbonneau (talk) 04:59, 31 October 2011 (UTC)

This is Bot placed notification, another user has nominated/tagged the image --CommonsNotificationBot (talk) 23:45, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
This section could be improved. In particular, the reference to Katz is specious unless a notifiable source has made it - the Katz ruling was whether a conversation in a phone booth counted as private, and the verdict stressed that the main reason it did was because a closed phone booth gives a reasonable expectation of privacy compared to the street, so how could this be (mis)interpreted as meaning that you have a reasonable expectation of privacy in the street? Moreover, it only stressed his conversation was private, not anything that was clearly visible from outside the phone-booth e.g. his actions and behavior, which is all a CCTV camera would be able to monitor.
The statement about whether US courts have ruled CCTV unconstitutional is completely uncited. I'm removing it. If it is returned with a citation, I will not remove it again. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.127.116.11 (talk) 01:26, 23 April 2012 (UTC)
History / first deployment[edit]
This article currently says that the "first CCTV system was installed by Siemens AG at Test Stand VII in Peenemünde, Germany in 1942, for observing the launch of V-2 rockets". However, 1936 Summer Olympics says "To outdo the Los Angeles games of 1932, Germany built a new 100,000-seat track and field stadium, six gymnasiums, and many other smaller arenas. They also installed a closed-circuit television system and radio network that reached 41 countries, with many other forms of expensive high-tech electronic equipment".[1] — C M B J 11:44, 16 March 2013 (UTC)
- ^ Rader, Benjamin G. "American Sports: From the Age of Folk Games to the Age of Televised Sports" --5th Ed.
- Perhaps the criteria of "closed" should be adjusted. This instance of military CCTV was very much closed and secret. Olympic TV was the opposite, an open propaganda exercise. Jim.henderson (talk) 13:36, 29 January 2014 (UTC)
What is Closed?[edit]
The "Closed" part should be expanded on IMO. If it's online, but private, is it still Closed? (Is it the same as Private?) There's a paragraph:
- In October 2009, an "Internet Eyes" website was announced which would pay members of the public to view CCTV camera images from their homes and report any crimes they witnessed. The site aimed to add "more eyes" to cameras which might be insufficiently monitored. Civil liberties campaigners criticized the idea as "a distasteful and a worrying development".
That doesn't seem to be Closed. There's also a paragraph:
- Recently CCTV has been transformed by the shift towards internet-based products and systems, and other technological developments.
Is that still CCTV, or is that what the paragraph is saying: we're shifting from CCTV to ... something else?
Other names[edit]
This is a minor bit of feedback, but should we list other names that are used for CCTV? When I hear the term CCTV, I typically hear it from brits. I think terms like surveillance footage or surveillance videos are used more frequently in the US. I actually had to google the term CCTV a few months back because I didn't know what it was.

Article title (II)[edit]
I'd like to revive this topic (discussed long ago further up under "Article Title"), as this article seems to be mainly or only about "Camera surveillance" (and I believe the name of the article should perhaps be renamed, and a seperate article be created dedicated to CCTV technology). CCTV is a technology of which "camera surveillance" is only one application (using CCTV but also many other technologies nowadays). CCTV technology has much more (older?) applications like (but not limited to) Campus TV; rear-view camera's in vehicles; monitoring of production processes in plants and factories; (door) intercom systems with a camera (sometimes wireless); information screens in airports, hospitals, public buildings; information channels on hotelroom televisions, in many medical procedures and practises and then some. On the Dutch Wikipedia we've now split "Closed-circuit television" and "Camera surveillance" (Dutch: cameratoezicht), but it makes the interwiki links a bit odd/off. Also, the wikidata object for this article has an English description which doesn't really match the content of this article (in my humble opinion). Looking forward to views and opinions on this. Regards, Martix (talk) 13:20, 29 May 2016 (UTC)
- I second to revive this discussion and hereby submit a request for renaming this article to
Requested move 31 May 2016[edit]
- The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the move request was: Not moved. No consensus supporting the move. (closed by a page mover) (non-admin closure). Anarchyte (work | talk) 11:52, 8 June 2016 (UTC)
Closed-circuit television → Video surveillance – Most info in this article seems to revolve around the use of video surveillance in cities. That's what the video surveillance article can thus be about; CCTV is not the correct term here as that's about a closed circuit video system, whereas most cities make the video feeds available via internet (to either police, or other city services or private citizens). The extra CCTV technology info Martix mentions can be put in an other article called say History of CCTV KVDP (talk) 15:25, 31 May 2016 (UTC)
- Oppose: CCTV is the WP:COMMONNAME, and also the most accurate one. If there is any content in this article that does not fall under the remit of CCTV then it should be split out. This page should remain at CCTV. Ebonelm (talk) 20:02, 31 May 2016 (UTC)
- Is there an ENGVAR issue here? — AjaxSmack 21:45, 31 May 2016 (UTC)
- If the proposal is that Video surveillance is more common as a name for this topic than Closed-circuit television and this has consensus then happy to support the article move. This may be a simple difference in Engvar. There is already an article on surveillance which covers camera and video sureillance. Splitting this article would create a WP:POVFORK duplicating this article and the surveillance article. Whizz40 (talk) 08:38, 1 June 2016 (UTC)
- Oppose. May be an ENGVAR issue, as CCTV is certainly still the common term used in the United Kingdom. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:22, 1 June 2016 (UTC)
- The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page or in a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

Summary form only given. X-ray CT (computed tomography) has experienced tremendous growth in industrial application in recent years, and acquiring information about the mechanical parts from CT data has been a great challenge for researchers. This paper presents a new method for the registration of a CT volumetric model of an assembly of parts with a CAD mesh model of a part of the assembly using ICP (iterative closest point) registration method. A few steps to extract feature points should be done as a preprocessing step of the volumetric model and the mesh model before applying the ICP registration algorithm, since the volumetric model and the mesh model are different in their data representation. This preprocessing step is important in order to unify the input of the ICP algorithm, and contributes to the robustness and the speed of the registration process.

Your Views for August 11
Support farmers
Farmers feed us, and they need access to the best technology. Bill 79 and efforts like it are terrible mistakes. It is fear-based legislation that comes from the misunderstanding that biotechnology is too dangerous to use. Crops with flood and drought resistance, insect and disease resistance, enhanced nutrition profiles and other beneficial traits are being developed, and these bills shut the door on all of it. Biotechnology is young, and we haven't even gotten to the good stuff yet.
Supporters of this bill were surprised that so many farmers rose in opposition, but farmers have serious challenges. Weather, pests, diseases and market conditions too often undermine their best efforts. Papaya farmers on our island could not grow a crop without the transgenic Rainbow papaya. These plants have resistance to papaya ringspot virus (PRSV), and except for being resistant to PRSV, they are exactly the same as the nontransgenic papayas. If you know someone who eats papaya in Hilo, they are likely eating transgenic papaya, and they are likely pretty healthy.
Bill 79 would condemn all biotechnological solutions based on irrational fear. There have been hundreds of studies looking at the safety of transgenic crops and the overwhelming consensus is that these products are as safe and environmentally friendly as their nontransgenic counterparts. There is no credible argument on this point in the scientific community. This issue is pretty much settled.
I have been working in plant molecular biology since 1986, received a PhD in plant pathology in 1991 from Cornell University, and moved back home to take a job at UH-Hilo in 1993. Dr. Dennis Gonsalves' team was able to develop PRSV-resistant papaya plants in about that same period, and they made these plants available to Hawaii growers less than five years later.
The plant pathology community was optimistic this technology would curb many viral plant diseases, but misguided proposals like Bill 79 do nothing but dampen progress. Over 90 percent of U.S. corn, cotton and soybean growers choose to plant transgenic crops every year because those crops provide a worthwhile benefit.
Please allow Big Island farmers, who are among our best friends and neighbors, to use the best technology available. Please talk to a farmer before supporting these bills.

'Do the math'
Andrea Tischler must be wrong and retired police officer Larry Moore (Tribune-Herald, Your Views, Aug. 4) must be right. He has arrested more than 2,000 people. With approximately 300,000 police officers in the country, that's 2,000 multiplied by 300,000, which equals 600 million; 85 percent of that number is about 40 million, and one-third of that equals about 13.5 million pot smokers off the streets. No problem: We just need bigger jails and a million more cops.
Come on, Andrea, just do the math.
Michael Engstrom
Step up, people
Remember the Prohibition, Larry Moore (Tribune-Herald, Your Views, Aug. 4)? How did that stupid idea work out? Huh? Fermented drinks. Oh, me. Herbaceous plants. Oh, my. Chocolate, peanut butter, coffee and tea.
People have been self-medicating for years, Larry. What planet have you been on? Get out much? Any clue how many of your family and friends use (or have used) marijuana? You don't want to know! Does that make them bad, or "criminals?" Of course not. It's our stupid laws that makes them so!
Does people's use of marijuana, in August of 2013, make them criminals any more than the people who had a cold beer on Dec. 4, 1933 — the day before the United States repealed the 18th Amendment — were criminals? Reasonable and intelligent people know better.
Your glorious "war on drugs," Larry? It's not working, either, in case you've been sleeping. The "war" was over before it started. Sorry.
Once the smart people of today do with stupid marijuana laws what the smart people last century did with the stupid alcohol laws, we'll all be a lot better off. Just ask anybody who actually went through the abortion of logic and justice that the disastrous "war on alcohol" was. Experience, Larry, experience. And history. It won't be any more kind to the well-intentioned zealots of today than it was to fanatics who foisted Prohibition on us. Time to stop acting like the clueless fanatics of last century, Larry.
And, no, you won't be out of work when we finally wise up as a society. So don't panic. You'll still have a job. After all, this is the real world. There will still be … (wait for it) … real criminals out there for you to arrest. Pedophiles. Murderers. Thieves. Rapists.
It's time for the smart people of our society to step up. Take action. Maybe we can show some of the special people how a civilized society respects its individuals and their inalienable rights.

Okay, technically, this isnt an ambient. It's a print ad, but that aside, nice use of the media. I just wonder how much this little insert cost: it couldnt have been cheap... assuming, of course, that this isnt a scam ad.

The inflammatory reaction plays an important role in the pathogenesis of the neurodegenerative disorders. tert-butylhydroquinone (tBHQ) exhibits a wide range of pharmacological activities including anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory action. In this study, we tried to elucidate possible effects of tBHQ on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammatory reaction and its underlying mechanism in neuron-like PC12 cells. tBHQ inhibited LPS-induced generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and elevation of intracellular calcium level. It also inhibited LPS-induced cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2), TNF-α, nuclear factor KappaB (NF-kB), and caspase-3 expression in a dose-dependent manner while stabilizing nuclear factor-erythroid 2 p45-related factor 2. Moreover, the phosphorylations of p38, ERK1/2, and JNK were suppressed by tBHQ. These results suggest that the anti-inflammatory properties of tBHQ might result from inhibition of COX-2 and TNF-α expression, inhibition of NF-kB nuclear translocation along with suppression of MAP kinases (p38, ERK1/2, and JNK) phosphorylation in PC12 cells, so may be a useful agent for prevention of inflammatory diseases.

So, where do I go Sunday night? And, Monday late morning/early afternoon? I am staying about a mile from the French Quarter and will have a car.
Anywhere I just HAVE to eat or see? This is one city I've never been to and I'm excited to see it but sucks that I will be there alone and for such a short time.

The Elmore delay model is the most popular and efficient delay model used for analytical delay estimation. Closed-form delay formulas are useful for circuit design, timing-driven physical design, synthesis, and optimization. As signal rise time becomes faster and the line resistance becomes smaller from copper technology, the significance of inductance increases. Both RC and RLC delays are a strong function of signal rise time. We propose a novel and efficient delay modeling method based on nondimensionalization to consider finite input rise time as an improvement over the Elmore's approach. To further improve the accuracy of the delay model, a new correction method, effective distance correction factor (EDCF), is proposed to consider resistive shielding of downstream capacitance. EDCF can be used to correct the delays for both RC and RLC tree structures. The proposed delay modeling method was applied to a number of nets selected from an integrated circuit (IC) design, and the delay estimation results were compared with HSPICE simulations. The new delay model retains the efficiency and simplicity of the Elmore delay model with significantly improved accuracy.

Trailer Watch: 'Immortals,' 'Apollo 18' Get New Trailers, Pixar Teases Summer 2012 Film 'Brave'
The second trailer for the 300-esque mythology action flick Immortals has hit the web with more action scenes and stunning visuals. Director Tarsem Singh, who will be directing the upcoming Lily Collins-Julia Roberts Snow White adaptation The Brothers Grimm: Snow White, has a knack for creating some beautiful cinematic imagery. The question is, will audiences be curious enough to check out this man vs. gods flick in November? Take a look at the new trailer released today via Ryan Seacrest's website and let us know.
The latest entry into the found footage subgenre of horror movies has changed its release date four times, but it seems (at least for now) that the Gonzalo Lopez-Gallego directed flick will hit screens Labor Day weekend. Lopez Gallego has worked as an editor and director on numerous Spanish productions, but Apollo marks his first foray into American cinema. Mega-producer Bob Weinstein generated buzz last year when he denied that the movie was a work of fiction, instead claiming that the footage had been discovered. Audiences will get to have their say when the movie hits screens on September 2.
For those who ventured to check out Cars 2 this past weekend most likely saw a quick minute-long teaser for Pixar's 2012 movie, Brave. Though the trailer doesn't give us much, Brave tells the story of a Scottish princess, Merida (voiced by Kelly MacDonald), who defies her parents by pursuing her interest in archery. The impetuous daughter of King Fergus and Queen Elinor (Billy Connolly and Emma Thompson), Merida is determined to carve her own path in life and defies an old sacred custom which leads to chaos within the kingdom. When Merida turns to an eccentric old witch (Julie Walters) for help, the young archer is granted an ill-fated wish and forced to discover the true meaning of bravery in order to undo a terrible curse before it's too late. Brave is scheduled to conquer screens June 22, 2012.

Oscar Pistorius Will Sell His House to Cover Legal Fees
According to his lawyer, the Olympian "cannot contemplate ever returning to live there again."
The double-amputee runner accused of intentionally killing his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp, might be spending as much as $9,000 a day on his closely watched South African trial, which is now expected to last longer than its scheduled three weeks. According to Pistorius's lawyer, it has "become necessary" to part with the Pretoria villa where Steenkamp died — not only to raise funds, but because his client "cannot contemplate ever returning to live there again." The Olympian, free on bail, has been living with family since the shooting.

"Desinic - Veliki Tabor" Desinic by croisbeauty
Desinic Travel Guide: 8 reviews and 12 photos
In the long winter nights in the calls of owls, sometimes you can hear the carries of Veronika Desinicka, at the time the pretty girl who lived in the 15th c. in the place of Desinic beneath the Veliki Tabor castle, in which the powerful Ban Croatian Count Herman II Celjski lived. His young and handsome son Fridrih felt in love with Veronika, however the Count disagreed with relationship. The young lovers ran away to the Slovenijan town Fridrihstajn near Kocevje.
Sadly the honey moon did not last long as Count Herman found out about the secret meeting place where his son was, and right away he sent his troops to capture the young lovers. Fridrih rescued Veronika hided her in the little village Sveta Margita, but he himself could not escape his father troops and so they brought him to Veliki Tabor where he was locked in the tower. After spending there four long years, Fridrih was mentally and psihically unable to carry on living a normal life and is therefore mentioned no more in history.
Veronika too had little luck, Herman's troops soon found her and brought her to the Veliki Tabor. She was accused of being a witch and enchanted Fridrih. However the judges decided the only thing she is quilty of is great love towards Count's son, and that was never been a sin. When judges left the castle, Herman gave orders to the court officials to held Veronika's head under the water until they were sure that she had taken her final breath. The dead Veronika's body was built into the wall which divides the pentagonal tower with the front door of the castle.

In The Journal of March 23, 1901, page 820, appears an editorial abstract of the work of Frenkel and Cluzet on the reaction with sulphur for the presence of biliary acids in urine and other fluids. "When sublimed sulphur—flour, or flowers, of sulphur—is added to urine containing bile, the sulphur immediately falls to the bottom." This reaction they termed Haycraft's reaction for bile, this being the name mentioned in connection with the reaction in Langlois and de Varigny's physiology. But it appears that the actual author of the reaction is Matthew Hay, professor of legal medicine in Aberdeen, and in a recent note Frenkel1 makes the necessary correction. Professor Hay in 1886 inserted a note, describing the reaction in the second English edition of Landois' physiology, translated by Stirling (page 381), but the test was not described in the journals. Consequently the sulphur reaction for biliary acids should be

This country bumpkin must be a mountain child.
Did every early 20th Century cartoonist write dialogue that could've come straight out of Peter Finley Dunne's "Mister Dooley?" Just bookmarked this page, though…I love the old stuff.
Short answer: Pretty much. Laboriously misspelled 'funnetick' humor was plentiful, especially in humor about the lower classes. I'm impressed by the cartoonist's restraint, considering the apostrophes were used by the barrelful.
"Josh Billings" was the most nigh-unreadable writer in that regard. It seemed to be his whole shtick.
This kind of writing in dialect was common place then. Not so much now. Still being used by some writers in the 1920's & 1930's like Howard Phillips Lovecraft.
Looks like the country bumpkin got the best of the city "angel" every time.

We are pleased to announce that we have just completed the purchase of all the rights, title and interest to all the equipment, fixtures, inventory, personal property and real estate of Suwannee River Log Homes in St. Augustine Florida from its lender First Federal Bank.
Suwannee River Log Homes was one of the leading suppliers of cypress log home packages in Florida and the South East.
This acquisition becomes Log Cabin Homes second location in the state of Florida which reinforces its strategic position as the nation's largest cypress log home manufacturer.
The asset purchase of Suwannee River Log Homes brings a once in a lifetime opportunity to purchase a brand new cypress log home package at an incredible discount of 50% off.
We have…
· Multi-Million Dollar Inventory!
· Three Log Cabin Mills!
· Billion Dollar Buying Power!
Cypress, Wood Eternal
At Original Log Cabin Homes, we use only the finest timbers for our line of Cypress log homes. Not only does Cypress lend a unique look to our homes, but offers unique properties to better suit your building environment. Our Cypress logs are graded by one of seven full time employees who are Log Home Council Certified. Cypress is a hardwood with excellent durability making it one of the most dependable choice of species for log homes.
Cypress, like Cedar, is naturally resistant to rot and insects. Aside from its beautiful grain, It also has a natural preservative called cypressene. Cypressene is credited for preventing the growth of the fungi that causes decay. It is this same chemical makeup that makes Cypress more resistant to insect infestation than pine. Its light color contrasts Western Red Cedar's reddish brown hue and accepts most wood finishes with excellent results.

The zero testing and sign determination problems of real algebraic numbers of high extension degree are important in computational complexity and numerical analysis. In this paper we concentrate an sparse cyclotomic integers. Given an integer n and a sparse polynomial f(x) = Ckxe(k) + ck-1xe(k-1) + ... + c1xe(1)over Z, we present a deterministic polynomial time algorithm to decide whether f(wn) is zero or not, where f(wn) denotes the n-th primitive root of unity e2piradic(-1/n). All previously known algorithms are either randomized, or do not run in polynomial time. As a side result, we prove that if n is free of prime factors less than k + 1, there exist k field automorphisms sigma1, sigma2, ... , sigmak in the Galois group Gal (Q(wn)/Q) such that for any nonzero integers c1, c2 ... , ck and for any integers 0 les e1 < e2 < ... < ek < n, there exists i so that |sigmai(ckwn ek + ck-1wn e(k-1) + ... + c1wn e(1)) | ges 1/2(k(2)log n+klogk).
