Like most people who have weighed in on this subject, I'm very sorry to have heard that this incident occured and my condolences to the Groh family and friends. I've recently been assigned to do an article on this issue and I'm trying to look at it objectively from my perspective as both a photographer and biologist. I'm wondering if anyone knows of scientific studies (not performed by operators) that have focused on regular feeding or baiting sharks and their behavior.
My experience, in a seven year study involving identification and keeping track of close to six hundred sharks relative to six feeding locations, interspersed with swimming with the residents in between feedings, was that sharks AVOID biting companion animals at feedings, and at other times, presumably due to the harm they mutually inflict with their bites. They see humans as other animals in the submarine community, not prey.
This shark attack mania tendency is really corrosive to any thinking about sharks.

QIF: A Realistic Framework For The Future Of Manufacturing
September 8th, 2016 by Jeff Rowe
Interoperability, collaboration, inspection, quality, standards, proprietary data, neutrality, competition, and innovation – these are words and realities that all manufacturers deal with daily. Over the years there have been myriad attempts to bring this stuff together, all while protecting IP. However, as we know, while the attempts to make this happen have often been valiant, too often they have fallen well short, or worse, failed altogether.
That failure may be on its way to being a thing of the past with the advent of the Quality Information Framework (QIF), an ANSI standard that supports digital thread concepts in engineering applications ranging from product design through manufacturing. Based on the XML standard, it contains a Library of XML Schema ensuring both data integrity and data interoperability in Model Based Enterprise (MBE) implementations.
Changing Of the Guard At ANSYS
September 1st, 2016 by Jeff Rowe
For only the fourth time since its inception, earlier this week ANSYS announced a leadership succession plan with a new CEO. James E. Cashman, who has served as ANSYS' CEO since 2000, will step down as CEO and become Chairman of the Board of Directors effective January 1, 2017. Dr. Ajei S. Gopal, a technology industry veteran who has served as a member of the ANSYS Board since 2011, has been appointed President and CEO effective immediately and will continue to serve on the Board. Dr. Gopal will become CEO on January 1, 2017. Ronald W. Hovsepian, who currently serves as Chairman of the ANSYS Board, will assume the role of Lead Independent Director as part of this transition.
Will Vuforia Bring Augmented Reality Euphoria To PTC?
August 25th, 2016 by Jeff Rowe
As part of its ongoing acquisition quest, less than a year ago PTC acquired Vuforia from Qualcomm Connected Experiences for $65 million. What a difference a year has made!
Vuforia is an augmented reality (AR) technology platform, that PTC is betting will enrich its technology portfolio and further foster its strategy to provide technologies that blend the digital and physical worlds. In other words, the next phase of the Internet of Things (IoT).
When it was first reported that Qualcomm was soliciting bids for Vuforia as part of its effort to cut costs and focus on its key mobile business, PTC surprisingly was the ultimate suitor for the company and its technology.
Vuforia is a software platform that democratizes AR development. According to PTC, Vuforia is the most widely used AR platform in the world, powering more than 80% of AR apps in the Apple App Store and Google Play. In fact, more than 30,000 Vuforia-powered applications have been published on the App Store and Google Play – and have led to more than 275 million app installs. Vuforia also supports an active developer ecosystem with more than 250,000 registered developers, and more than 30,000 projects in development.

Part 2: Is It Really Smart To Buy Totally Into IoT?
August 18th, 2016 by Jeff Rowe
For the past several years we all have heard the non-stop hype from a number of different sources that the Internet of Things (IoT) is the thing that will change everything and improve our lives in ways that are still unimaginable to us. That may be true, but relatively little attention is paid to the converse – what are some of the not so great things that could result from IoT? This darker side of IoT, of course, includes security, but how about data handling, infrastructure, privacy, and the inevitable question of who actually owns the data generated from and for IoT. All of these issues are problems now and will only continue to grow unless and until they are adequately addressed.
This week I'll cover IoT data handling and data infrastructure, both critical if the IoT is to proliferate as many vendors hope and hype.
Part 1: Is It Really Smart To Buy Totally Into IoT?
August 11th, 2016 by Jeff Rowe
For the past few years we all have heard a non-stop proclamation from a number of different sources that the Internet of Things (IoT) is the thing that will change everything and improve our lives in ways that are still unimaginable to us. That may be true, but relatively little attention is paid to the other side of the coin – what are some of the not so great things that could result from IoT? This darker side of IoT, of course, includes security, but how about data handling, infrastructure, privacy, and the inevitability of IoT companies going out of business. All of these issues are problems now and will only continue to escalate unless and until adequately addressed.
Believe me, I'm not alone with these concerns.
This time around I'll cover IoT privacy and company survival. Next week I'll cover IoT data handling and infrastructure.
Is FeatureScript One of Onshape's Best Features?
August 4th, 2016 by Jeff Rowe
Almost all of today's CAD products are pretty capable right out of the box, but I've often wanted them to do more to suit my particular needs and workflow. Over the years I've created macros and used Visual Basic and AutoLISP for defining, customizing, and automating functions and processes not found in CAD products out of the box. My results varied widely – some were good, some were OK, and some were downright unpredictable and bad.
Several years passed and I didn't really do too much with CAD programming, so my interest waned. That all changed, though, when cloud-based Onshape's FeatureScript came along earlier this summer.
FeatureScript is a programming language designed by Onshape for building and working with 3D parametric models. The language is built into Onshape and provides the foundation of Part Studio modeling, including geometric references, parametric tools, and a type system with types built for math in three dimensions.
The standard feature types in Onshape, such as Extrude, Fillet, and Helix are already written as FeatureScript functions. Using FeatureScript, custom feature types extend this same function mechanism to Onshape.
Is FeatureScript the first specific programming language to be released for a CAD product? No, not exactly, but it is unique in many ways and adds to Onshape's positive differentiation in the crowded CAD marketplace.

Battle In the Wireless 3D Printing Software Arena: OctoPrint Vs. AstroPrint
July 28th, 2016 by Jeff Rowe
All 3D printers need host software to function. That's a given. Host software sends the commands to a 3D printer that tells the printer how to build an object. Most host software communicates with the printer via a wired USB connection. For almost all 3D printers, a computer running the host software must stay tethered to the 3D printer at all times while it is running. Obviously, this is not always a great situation, hence the advantage of being wireless.
There are basically two ways to perform wireless 3D printing. First, a G-code file can be saved onto an SD card using a computer, then the SD card can be transferred to the 3D printer where the print job is initiated via a controller into a 3D printer.
This arrangement allows wireless 3D printing, but it lacks most the advantages of a truly wireless setup. The 3D printer can still be placed away from a work area, but beyond that, using the SD card transfer method is really no different than transferring data over a cable. The second way to do (truly) wireless 3D printing is by running the host software on a small embedded device, like the Raspberry Pi, that is connected to the 3D printer.
Which Is Better, OctoPrint or AstroPrint?
This is analogous to using a dedicated computer for 3D printing that stays connected to the printer at all times. But, instead of using a computer for this purpose, the host software can be run on something, such as a Raspberry Pi, which is just powerful enough to run the software.
The two most popular host software packages developed for wireless 3D printing are OctoPrint and AstroPrint. AstroPrint is, in fact, based on OctoPrint, and claims to have an optimized codebase for running on embedded computers. The AstroPrint team has made changes and additions to the software, making the two host software offerings quite a bit different in many ways.
While OctoPrint and AstroPrint do share some similarities, they are also different, primarily with regard to their intended users.

With Acquisition, Is SoftBank ARMed For The Future?
July 21st, 2016 by Jeff Rowe
A couple of days ago, the internet of things (IoT) world was rocked with the announcement that the UK's semiconductor and software design giant, ARM, was being purchased by Japan's SoftBank in a cash deal for some $32 billion.
In the official acquisition statement, SoftBank says it intends to:

Geometric's STL Workbench Released For Cloud-Based Onshape
July 14th, 2016 by Jeff Rowe
With all the fanfare that took place a couple years ago with the launch of cloud-based Onshape, we thought we'd weigh in with partner Geometric's announcement of its STL Workshop.
Onshape is by no means the first cloud-based/mobile CAD application. It was and still is, however, a unique true cloud-based technology and not a desktop/cloud hybrid.
Onshape began with what was one of the best and worst kept secrets in the engineering software arena. Worst, because even early on, it was evident that the technology would be cloud based, even if virtually no details were disclosed. Best, because virtually no details were disclosed, and that just added to the anticipation for the official launch of Onshape.
One of the inherent advantages that Onshape has always had is the fact that it was created from scratch by a team used to creating things from scratch with no legacy baggage to overcome and work around. Of course, the development team has not done everything themselves, because Onshape includes software components from Siemens PLM (Parasolid; ironically the same modeling kernel used by SolidWorks) and D-Cubed. This component licensing has let the Onshape team focus its efforts on what it does best.

Measuring Up: SPECapc Releases New NX 9 and 10 Benchmarks
July 7th, 2016 by Jeff Rowe
Like them or not, PC benchmarks let you evaluate performance, identify potential bottlenecks, and choose effective system upgrades of both hardware and software. Unfortunately, too many users still think that system performance is simply a matter of CPU frequency or memory capacity, which leads them to think that dropping in a faster CPU or more memory will automatically yield significant performance improvements. Unfortunately, however, this is not always the case.
While CPU and memory upgrades can help in some instances, it often makes more sense to upgrade the storage subsystem or the graphics board if you're looking for perceptible improvement in system responsiveness or performance. For example, if you run a series of benchmarks and identify the components holding your system back, you'll be able to choose the most effective upgrade for your current system – or at least determine which components make the most sense in a new system suited to your particular needs.

The matchups
INFIELD: The A's have swapped out starters at every position but third base, and even Josh Donaldson spent large chunks of time in the minors. SS Stephen Drew has provided a steady glove since coming over from Arizona, and he heated up at the plate late in the season. Cliff Pennington has adjusted nicely to second base. Brandon Moss and Chris Carter have combined for 37 home runs in a first base platoon, but Carter has been susceptible to mental lapses defensively, something the A's can't afford now.
You know about Miguel Cabrera's Triple Crown numbers (.330, 44 HRs, 139 RBIs), but the surprise this year was how he did not flop defensively after switching from first to third base. He has terrorized the A's over his career for a .356 average and 43 RBIs in 41 games. Pitch around him, and waiting in the cleanup spot is Prince Fielder (.313, 30 HRs, 108 RBIs). Veteran shortstop Jhonny Peralta doesn't have great range, but he provides some pop toward the bottom of the lineup.
OUTFIELD: Josh Reddick might be in line for a Gold Glove in right. He and CF Coco Crisp don't let many balls find the grass in the gap, and Yoenis Cespedes has improved greatly in left. Crisp's recent absence due to pink eye showed how important he is at the top of the lineup. Cespedes hit .321 over the final 22 games and impacted games with his baserunning. Reddick hit .164 in September. The A's need him to come through in RBI situations.
Center fielder Austin Jackson put together a very well-rounded season in the leadoff spot and sets the table for Cabrera and Fielder. Right fielder Andy Dirks hasn't played full time, but he's hitting .322.
CATCHER: Neither George Kottaras nor Derek Norris were on the A's roster before July 29. They've done a commendable job learning the pitching staff, but they've combined to throw out just 6 of 57 base stealers (10.5 percent). Luckily for Oakland, the Tigers ranked 13th out 14 A.L. teams with 59 stolen bases.
Detroit's Alex Avila has been better controlling the running game, nailing 34 of 113 runners (30 percent). Look for Gerald Laird to possibly start against right-handers.
STARTING PITCHING: Rookies Jarrod Parker, Tommy Milone and A.J. Griffin figure to be joined by Brett Anderson, expected to return from an oblique injury at some point in the series. With the first two games in Detroit, the A's need good starting efforts to set the tone. Parker is 4-1 with a 2.63 ERA in September and October, and he'll start Game 1.
The A's draw an extremely tough Game 1 assignment in Tigers ace Justin Verlander. But as dominant as he is, Verlander holds a 5.57 ERA over eight postseason starts. The A's are quite familiar with Game 2 starter Doug Fister from his days in Seattle. He holds a 2.45 ERA in 11 career starts against Oakland.
BULLPEN: A's closer Grant Balfour is 17 for 17 in save opportunities since returning to the ninth-inning role Aug. 11. Can the high-intensity right-hander keep his emotions in check? He has World Series experience from his days with the Rays. Rookie setup men Ryan Cook and Sean Doolittle were terrific down the stretch. Oakland's bullpen ranked second in the A.L. with a 2.94 ERA.
Tigers closer Jose Valverde doesn't always make things easy on himself, but he has converted 110 of 118 save opportunities with the Tigers. Setup man Joaquin Benoit allowed more homers (14) than any other A.L. reliever.
BENCH: A's manager Bob Melvin will have a solid pinch-hitting option in either Seth Smith or Jonny Gomes. That most likely will be Gomes, as the left-handed hitting Smith figures to draw starts against Detroit's right-handed rotation. Gomes is hitting .280 with four home runs in 25 games in which he entered off the bench. Adam Rosales can play all over the infield as a late-game replacement but hit just .222 in 42 games.
MANAGER: Bob Melvin warrants heavy consideration for A.L. Manager of the Year, taking what many viewed as a last-place club and winning a division championship. He's done a terrific job maximizing production from several platoon situations. There's a belief in the clubhouse that the A's can compete with anybody, and that mentality trickles down from Melvin.
Tigers skipper Jim Leyland is no stranger to the postseason. He managed Detroit to the A.L. pennant in 2006 (sweeping the A's in the ALCS) and guided the 1997 Marlins to the World Series championship. He knows what strings to pull in high-pressure games.
INTANGIBLES: The A's season is playing out in storybook fashion, and if momentum counts for anything at this time of year, they'll be a tough team to beat. Buoyed by 14 walk-off victories, they feel that somehow, some way they can pull out close games in the late innings.
The Tigers appeared to be a sure World Series contender after signing Fielder last offseason, but holding off the Chicago White Sox for the A.L. Central title proved tougher than expected. They should enter the postseason feeling they have something to prove. Verlander would love to add a World Series title to his impressive individual accomplishments, so expect him to take the mound with tons of motivation.
–Joe Stiglich

Jeff Boynton played soccer for the Lipscomb Bisons from 2004-2007. He graduated with a B.A. degree in History-Education with a minor in political science.
In 2008 he became the head coach for both the boy's and girl's soccer teams at Oakland High School in Murfreesboro, Tenn. He turned around two struggling programs and earned District Coach of the Year honors for his work with both teams.
His goal was to coach and teach at the high school level. He taught U.S. History last year and is teaching World Geography this year.
"When it came time to declare a major I decided on education,†said Boynton. "It worked out perfect for me.â€
He lives in Murfreesboro. His parents are Jo and Rick Boynton, also Murfreesboro residents. His brother, Steve, attends Tennessee-Chattanooga.
Lipscomb coach Charles Morrow and assistant coach Kevin Burk was both were big influences on his athletic career.
"My freshman year we did not win a game,†said Boynton. "So when Charles and Kevin came in they changed the way that we looked at soccer. Charles always wanted more from us. He recruited very well. And I can't say enough about Kevin. Even now, I will call Kevin if I have a problem as a coach. I learned how to play and how to act as a player. And then there were my roommates and teammates who also influenced me.â€
His best athletic memories both involve Belmont.
"We played at Belmont my junior year and we beat them 2-0 and I scored a goal,†said Boynton. "And then my senior year we beat Belmont 1-0 in the conference tournament at Stetson. It was our first conference tournament appearance and our first conference win. And it was against Belmont.â€
Boynton's fondest non-athletic memory was graduation. He was proud that he was able to graduate in four years.
"I got out and got a job right out of school,†said Boynton.
Before he graduated Boynton learned the value of hard work.
"Being a student-athlete is something that is very difficult to do,†said Boynton. "A big thing I still do now is to make sure I am working hard at whatever I do.â€
While admitting he wasn't the most outstanding student, he has great memories of Dr. Jerry Gaw in history classes and Dr. Marc Schwerdt in political science.
"They both had great senses of humor,†said Boynton. "They made class fun. They carried on a personal relationship with me and pushed me to work hard in class.â€
Charles Morrow remembers Jeff Boynton:
Lipscomb soccer coach Charles Morrow didn't recruit Jeff Boynton, but he spent three years coaching him.
Morrow wasn't surprised that Boynton became a coach. He also wasn't surprised that Boynton has been quickly successful in his dual roles as head coach of both the girls and boys soccer teams at Oakland High School in Murfreesboro, Tenn.
"Jeff was a leader, no doubt,†said Morrow. "He was always vocal. He always had his opinions about the game.
"Some guys are like that and nobody listens to them. But he had the respect of the guys he played with. He wanted to teach high school and coach. He graduated from Blackmon High School, but got a coaching job at Oakland. We knew he would do a good job when he got out for sure.â€
As a player with the Bisons from 2004 to 2007 Boynton displayed all of the tools to become a coach. He was a hard worker who hated to lose.
"As a player he was hard-nosed and tough,†said Morrow. "You always knew you were going to get an honest effort out of him. He had a good work ethic.
"He was probably not the most talented guy when we got here, but he worked really hard and got better and better. He was a guy who hated to lose. He was a good athlete with a strong desire to win and succeed more than his athleticism and his technical abilities.â€
Xander Vooys, Ben Page and Boynton were known for being best friends off of the field, but highly-competitive on the field.
"If they were on the same team and someone messed up they would be on them,†said Morrow. "If they were matched up against each other in training they would go after each other.â€
Boynton played a couple of different positions for the Bisons and brought a strong understanding of the game. Morrow likes to think that Boynton's coaching style has been influenced somewhat by what he learned at Lipscomb.
"I think at the end of four years players understand why we do certain things and the progression of things in our program,†said Morrow. " Like any other coach most certainly he took some things from us that he liked, and if he was really playing attention he probably took some things from us that we didn't like, and said he was going to do something different.
"I don't look at him and say he is doing the same thing we did over here. He knows himself and his personality. He was always the kind of guy who was going to do things his way. I don't mean that he wasn't coachable or didn't buy into the system. But off the field he was his own person. As a coach that is a good quality.
Being a coach is a profession where everybody has an opinion about what you need to be doing and everyone has the right answers. But at the end of the day as a coach you need to do what you know is best. I'm not surprised at all that he is doing well.â€

Study: Supply chain planning market to grow 44 percent
The worldwide supply chain planning (SCP) market is forecast to grow 44 percent over the next five years, representing a compound annual growth rate of 7.6 percent, according to a new ARC Advisory Group study. With the global economic downturn now predominantly in the past, capital spending on information technology has rebounded vigorously. The SCP market has participated in this rebound, as suppliers have reported recent revenue growth rates well above the long-term trend.
The supply chain planning market has been experiencing broad-based, above-trend growth. "Suppliers reported growth across SCP applications, geographical regions, and end user industry segments. This is being driven by a couple of prominent adoption trends and a release of pent-up demand from the preceding worldwide economic downturn," according to Clint Reiser, Enterprise Software Analyst, and the principal author of ARC's "Supply Chain Planning Worldwide Outlook."
Integrated business planning fuels growth
Businesses have recently exhibited pronounced interest in integrated business planning, including S+OP planning. Organizations continue to integrate historically disparate processes to obtain a more comprehensive view of their overall operations. This ongoing maturity and increasing sophistication of corporate business processes is contributing to increased adoption of S+OP solutions as companies attempt to take their planning to the next level. The value proposition of S+OP solutions is also being enhanced by other high-growth supporting technologies, such as business analytics and high speed in-memory computing technology.
Demand management Is a priority
Sales of demand management applications remain robust as companies continue to focus on aligning product availability with demand. Today's solutions provide planners with standardized functionality to dynamically model numerous factors, such as seasonality, promotion up-lift, and pricing effects. The feature and usability improvements enable companies to accurately predict demand at various product levels across a vast number of SKU locations. The increasing use of demand signal repositories by large consumer goods companies and food and beverage companies is also contributing to increased use of demand management solutions. Demand signal repositories increase the volume, recentness, and overall value of POS data. The increased value offered by this data will increase the potential value companies can extract from its use within the demand planning process, and will therefore increase adoption of demand planning solutions.

14 possibly neglected animals, including cattle and horses, seized from Winslow property
WINSLOW, Maine (AP) � Police in Winslow are investigating possible neglect and cruelty after 14 animals were seized from a property in town.
Sgt. Haley Fleming says no one has been charged, but several charges will likely be filed by the end of the month.
Four cows, three calves, three horses, a pony, a donkey and two dogs were seized Tuesday evening.
Fleming tells the Morning Sentinel (http://bit.ly/RMsYi9 ) a search warrant was issued after authorities received reports from callers about things like cows in the road, and another report about a dead cow on the property.
The animals, which appeared to be malnourished, are being evaluated and nursed back to health.
No names were released.

HotRod Universal Hot Surface Ignitor – Replaces Most Silicon Carbide Ignitors
White-Rodgers announces that its popular universal nitride ignitor replacement will be named HotRod universal hot surface ignitor and packaged for contractors in a single pack as 21D64-2, and in a new truck stock five-pack carton as 21D64-5PK.
The HotRod universal hot surface ignitor (21D64-2) is the same replacement ignitor that contractors rely on to replace more than 150 different silicon carbide ignitors in gas-fired forced-air furnaces, water heaters and boilers. HotRod universal ignitors have demonstrated gas-lighting reliability over years of installations and in some very challenging applications. The HotRod ignitor is backed with a five-year warranty.
According to company sources, the ignitor provides more than twice the ignition surface area than the competition, and the simplified design of the mounting bracket makes installation fast and easy across a wide range of equipment and applications. Better ignitor and bracket design makes complicated cross references and ignitor illustrations unnecessary.

Homeowners Insurance-Arlington MA
Homeowners Insurance with LoPriore Insurance Agency
LoPriore Insurance has been a leading provider of Homeowners Insurance in Arlington MA for over 20 years. As an independent insurance agency, our focus is on protecting our clients homes and property with a truly personal approach. We tailor each homeowners insurance policy to fit the needs of the individual homeowner.
More than just a place to live, your home is one of the biggest investments you'll ever make. Protecting your home and contents is very important to you and to us. LoPriore Insurance Agency's portfolio of national and regional carriers allows us to offer solutions designed to fit your needs. We offer comprehensive homeowners protection for single or multi-family homes. Your personal possessions can be covered, with limits from 50 to 75 percent, of the coverage amount on your home, and are covered anywhere in the world. Choose from a variety of deductibles and coverages that will allow you to tailor your policy to fit your lifestyle and your budget.
How Homeowners Insurance Works
Homeowners protection offers coverage on a special form basis under the HO-3 policy. This means that most sudden and accidental events causing physical damage to your home are covered – along with other structures on your property such as a detached garage or tool shed. Furthermore, most homeowners policies are issued on replacement cost basis. Together, we will determine the amount of coverage needed to replace or rebuild your home and develop a tailored homeowners insurance quote just for you.
How Is My Personal Property Covered Under Homeowners Insurance?
Coverage 'Round the World' – Personal Property Coverage provides worldwide coverage for your furniture, clothes and other personal possessions. Whether it's fire, theft, hail or other peril listed in your policy, you're protected. And, regardless of where you are, you're covered.
Here are some of the items covered for specific amounts within the Personal Property Coverage:
- Money & coin collections: $200
- Securities & stamps: $1,000
- Manuscripts: $1,000
- Theft of jewelry, watches & furs: $1,000
- Watercraft: $1,000
- Trailers: $1,000
- Personal computer coverage: $2,500
- Theft of silverware & goldware: $2,500
- Trading cards, comic books & memorabilia: $1,000
- Theft of cameras: $2,000
- Theft of tools: $2,000
- Theft of firearms: $2,000
- Credit card, forgery & counterfeit money: $1,000
- Trees, shrubs & plants $500
Your personal property losses are settled on an actual cash value basis, which is the amount your property is worth at the time of the loss. You have the option of purchasing Replacement Cost on Contents, which settles your personal property losses on a replacement cost basis rather than an actual cash value basis. You will be paid the amount to replace the items after the deductible. No deduction will be made for depreciation with the replacement cost endorsement on your contents.
Should you be interested in the broadest coverage for your fine arts, jewelry, furs, antiques, and other valuable items, contact LoPriore Insurance to learn more about Scheduled Personal Property Coverage.
Additional Homeowners Insurance Coverage Options
- Replacement Cost on Dwelling – In case of a total loss, this endorsement provides replacement cost coverage to rebuild your home without any depreciation. If your home is insured up to 100 percent of its calculated replacement value, but the loss exceeds the policy limit, extended Replacement Cost will make up the difference up to 125% of coverage A Dwelling.
- Replacement Cost on Contents – Your personal property losses are settled on a replacement cost basis. You're paid the amount to replace the items after the deductible without any depreciation.
- Backup of Sewer, Drain or Sump Pump – gives you coverage for damage by water which backs up into your house through your sewer, drain or sump pump.
- Home Computer Coverage – Use your computer away from home or for business use? This option provides coverage when you need more coverage than your policy provides, and is settled on a replacement cost basis.
- Identity Theft Coverage – Provides coverage to repair your credit that is effected by being victimized of a stolen identity.
- Extended Theft Coverage for jewelry, watches and furs – broader protection than the special limits in your basic policy.
- Increased Coverage – is also available for credit cards, jewelry and furs.
- Earthquake – is excluded under the standard homeowners policy, but is available by endorsement.
- Flood Coverage – Your policy does not cover any damage caused by floods. If you think flooding is a possibility in your area, you should consider purchasing a flood insurance policy, underwritten by the National Flood Insurance Plan, through our agency. In some cases, your flood insurance may be underwritten by your insurance carrier.
Homeowners Insurance-Liability Coverage
Liability protects you and your relatives who are members of your household if you're legally liable for injuries to other people either on or off your property. Liability also protects you if you accidentally cause damage to someone's property, up to $500. Your liability will also pay the costs to defend you in lawsuits brought against you. You can choose from a range of limits beginning with $100,000.
Medical Payments to Others covers a person not living in your home that may be injured by you, or gets hurt on your property. It pays reasonable medical expenses, up to $1,000 for each injured person-regardless of fault. Increased coverage is available.
Extra Protection
Your homeowners insurance policy includes these additional coverages:
- Payments for first aid to others at the scene of the accident.
- Payments up to $500 for damage to the property of others, caused by you (for example, a child damages a neighbor's new concrete sidewalk by walking on it before it has dried.)
- Payments up to $1,000 for Loss Assessments you incur as a result of your membership in a property association. This applies when there is a covered loss to property collectively insured by all members.
- Claims expenses we incur for any suit we defend.

Product Highlights
The Marumi 72mm EXUS Circular Polarizer Filter helps to reduce reflections and glare by filtering out light that has become polarized due to reflection from a non-metallic surface. This results in a noticeable increase in the saturation of skies and foliage, as well as clearer imagery when photographing in hazy conditions. A circular polarizer differs from a linear polarizer in that it supports full use of a camera's autofocus and auto exposure functions.
This filter features an anti-static coating that also provides water and oil-resistance to protect the filter from dust, dirt, and moisture and to also aid in cleaning. The thin filter ring design is ideally suited for use with wide-angle lenses and features multiple light-blocking ridges, a satin finish, and a black ink coating to provide a surface reflectivity of less than 0.6% to reduce the likelihood of lens flare and ghosting. Additionally, the male threads of the filter ring are coated with Teflon to help eliminate filter jamming and promote easier installation and removal from lenses.

I was a cancel Sept 09, 157 dec 09 and I dont know how I did in Oct 10. My PTs rose to 172 right before, and I would stay in the low to mid 170s, but I messed up on LG and who knows how I did on the rest. If I retake it will be June 2011, I think I am more of an afternoon person. But I feel so emotionally...discouraged? I get freaked out by the thought "Maybe I'm not meant for this."
Yes, its technically a 4th time. I wanted to postpone, but it was too late to do so, so when I went into the Sept test I knew I would cancel. Around Nov 09 I was robbed and I don't think that I was in a good state of mind. I felt better about this test. I was mostly the end of the third game and 4th game that I do not remember, but I believe that I got at least 2 in the last game correct. I got 2 in LR wrong, but I feel good about at least 22 of the other ones (I don't remember the questions now, but after the test, I scoured forums online for the topics of the questions and recalled the answers from there) So far, my answers for RC also go along with everyone else's but only a few of the questions were discussed. I want to relax and forget about it because I cannot do anything about, but its very hard for me not to. I guess I'm nervous about this one because if I do poorly its not because of bad circumstances, its mostly due to my own studying/mental capabilities, what a self-esteem blow that would be. Thanks for the reply!

Its target market is Latin America, then the rest of the developing world, where smartphones from Apple and Google are still too expensive for most people."

Amid all the coupons and junk mail comes the dreaded ticket.
You have three options:
1) If the day you're fined for happens to be the same day you lent your car to your sister, nominate her as the driver. But if she decides not to pay, the fine volleys right back to you, the owner of the vehicle.
2) Contest the fine by setting up an appointment to see a hearing officer. You have to request the hearing within 20 days of the date the ticket was issued. That date is printed in red on your ticket. But you can't do it over the phone. You have to fill out Section B of your citation and mail it to the address on the ticket, or go down to the Office of Boards and Commissions on the seventh floor of the Bernalillo County Government Center on Civic Plaza.
3) Pay the thing. Get it postmarked by the due date so it doesn't default.
You can also talk to the issuing officer, the guy or gal who reviewed your info and slapped you with a fine, who can give you more information. Call 761-8800 with a name, notice number and ID number. The issuer will return your call.
If your citation starts with AR it stands for running a red. AS is for speeding. AV is for speeding in front of one of the city's three vans equipped with cameras.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has taken a swipe at Robin van Persie, after intimating that the Manchester United striker grew 'impatient' in north London, reports ESPN.
The Dutch striker ditched the Gunners in 2012 to seal a transfer to the Premier League champions, citing his desire to win trophies as the motivation behind his controversial move.
During his first season at Old Trafford, Van Persie won the domestic title, and also retained the Golden Boot for the second consecutive campaign, after successfully spearheading the Red Devils' attack in what turned out to be Sir Alex Ferguson's final term in charge of Manchester United.
The 30-year-old's switch of allegiances was justified in some respects, but Wenger has hit back at suggestions that the Gunners are not equipped to compete for major honours, and says that the strength and depth he now possesses at the Emirates Stadium is reason enough to believe that Arsenal could win the Premier League under his command again.
"Some players [who left], sometimes were impatient," conceded the Frenchman. "When they reach near 30, if they feel they cannot win the Premier League, they go somewhere where they feel they can win it.
"If we added all the players who have left, I would have a selection problem, but I still have one because I have plenty of good players now."
Under the new stewardship of David Moyes, Manchester United and Van Persie currently find themselves in eighth place in the Premier League table, eight points behind Arsenal, who are clear at the top, having lost just one of their opening eight games.

Creating a fuse bead masterpiece is a different feat at 25 years old than it was at 10. I'd never realized how handy having tiny digits had been until recently, as I fumbled with slippery, miniscule beads to create one of our most popular Party Smarty crafts.
Kiddos who book their birthdays with HMNS get a variety of extra-special extras, but our included craft time is something to be enjoyed by both the young and the young at heart.
I got in touch with my inner child with some good old-fashioned Perler beading. (You can find tubs of these infernal little buggers at Hobby Lobby or Michael's. These days they even have sparkles.)
First, carefully place your fuse/Perler beads on your stencil. It pays to work from the center out (for obvious reasons), but if your imagination runs wild and you envision your dinosaur with spots or your butterfly with chevron wings, by all means, don't let a little thing like common sense get in the way.
Check out these beauts by our Party Smarty staff and yours truly. Guess which one was by the amateur? (Hint: The answer's not visible to the naked eye, but it took me twice as long to make the dino at bottom.)
Next you'll iron the beads onto the mold with medium heat. Put a piece of parchment paper over your creation and make sure to use a dry iron, keeping the iron parallel to your surface and moving in circular motions. (This craft is recommended for children 7 and up, but Party Smarty staff will assist with this part.)
We find that it's best to iron both sides for durability.
Once the beads are fused, as below, gently peel the fused plastic off the mold, cover it once more in parchment paper (which you can reuse, unlike wax paper) and iron again.
Whether you decide to make your creation into a magnet, a barrette or a creative holiday ornament, you'll have partied smartly at HMNS.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Coffy from SEXY and Underrated I needed a crimson outfit for a holiday party and I originally ordered the Back Cutout Jumpsuit in red. However, the color was not a true red. So I ordered this jumpsuit in a medium and I absolutely LOVE it. I have a quintessential Black Girl shape - small waist, big butt and small breasts. Because I'm 5'6 and and wear a size 4 or 6 on top and an 8 on my bottom, I was concerned about whether it would fit. But it was PERFECT and super sexy. And the color was stunning!

Rated 5 out of 5 by luxshopper123 from Beautiful! This jumpsuit is stunning! I bought it in black and it hugs my figure perfectly. Looks especially great if you have cleavage. It is very long however, and had to be shortened.

Rated 5 out of 5 by shy from Jumpsuit Lover's dream "LOVE IT! I'm 5'6 and wear a size 0. I would've normally ordered a small or xs, but after reading reviews I ordered a PXXS. I'm glad I did bc it fits perfectly. It's a little long,but I'm having it customized to have a crop elastic band around the legs to snug just above my ankle. I got it in black so my sparkly Loubs would pop when I wear them for my birthday next year!"

Rated 5 out of 5 by sexygirl_2 from LoveIttt Wow..this jumpsuit is amazing. Bought it in black size small. For reference I am 130lbs. I could've went down to an xsmall because the small is a bit loose in the leg area. But it still looks sexy so I'm keeping it. Also bought the Luella satin bow sandal in color fanfare to wear with it. Very sexy outfit. Can't wait to wear it.

Girls get yours before they are gone."

Rated 5 out of 5 by solange_2 from LOVE IT in BLACK "So I am an avid reader of reviews but have never reviewed an item until I purchased this jumper. I ordered it on-line so I was not sure about fit but I ordered a MEDIUM in Black and it fit PERFECT. Its not tight, nice in loose but still close to your figure to give you an amazing hour glass shape. Just to give you an idea of how it fits, in BEBE wear I am a small in tops and 29 in pants. The only down side is it is long! I'm 5'6 and with my highest wedges there is still about 2 inches that needs to be cut off. Other than that this jumper screams SEXY, SOPHISTICATED & CLASS"

Rated 5 out of 5 by sapfira from Elegant "Bought it on sale in blue color (it has greenish undertone - pretty color) and I'm glad I did. Looks very elegant, classy and sexy at the same time. Fabric is very light and flowy but not see through. Length is perfect, I'm 5.9. Normally, I wear S or M at Bebe depending on the style and cut. This pretty number worked in S. M would be too big in the seat. I'm 32B-27-38 for the reference. I hope it helped :)"

TIVERTON — Fire closed the Route 177 Flea Market. Snow is keeping it closed for longer than Bob Campion would like.
"We are working hard to get it back," Campion said. "The weather is working hard against us.
"I was pushing to reopen this weekend. That definitely won't happen."
A fire at 1 a.m. on Jan. 29 scorched three of the 30 dealer bays located at the flea market, 1560 Bulgarmarsh Road, just east of Bliss Corners.
The fire damaged the bay where it started, the restrooms at the site as well as two neighboring bays, one with furniture, one with jewelry and home goods.
One firefighter was treated for smoke inhalation, but there were no serious injuries reported.
A day after the fire, workers were at the site, tearing out burned walls and ceiling tiles and helping dealers carry out burned goods.
Three trash containers were filled in the first two days and then carted away.
Diane Cardona of Fall River was at the site a few days after the fire, sorting through boxes of costume jewelry her sister, Tracy Paiva, offered for sale at the market. She picked up a necklace of amber colored beads. The beads fell back onto the table when the string broke. She collected the beads and dropped them into a plastic bucket.
"This is all the stuff that has to go," she said. "We have to go through it all.
"But my sister likes it here. She likes her neighbors and says it is something to do on a Sunday. She will be back."
Fire investigators determined a space heater left working during the night set fire to material around it, starting the flames that spread across the ceiling before the fire was captured and killed.
"The fire department, Tiverton and all the other departments that joined in, they did a great job," Campion said. "They really limited the damage."
Campion said work would continue at the site. His family has run the flea market for 40 years, making it one of the oldest in New England, he said.
"We are doing all we can to get open again," he said.
"The latest would be by the end of the month, but we are hoping for earlier than that."

Intimidating french translation Cam2cam arabchat
While what the government calls the "cultural exception" —that French culture won't be left to the ravages of the market—is certainly understandable, it can have unintended side effects, like insulating the French population from linguistic awareness they need in a world increasingly dominated by English.Almost to a person, the French who are bilingual credit English-language television with their success.Most damning of all was the first "European Survey on Language Competences," which placed France second to last, only ahead of the United Kingdom.
Just send it in for a free price quote and a time estimate the same day."The linguistic incompetence of the French is a recurring joke at European summits and in international businesses," Noosphere founder Pascal-Emmanuel Gobry wrote on the French website Atlantico after Hollande's "friendly" note.Rankings have consistently shown France trailing its European neighbors in mastery of foreign language, and not just the highly-educated paradises in the northern part of the continent like Denmark and Sweden.In 2009, Sarkozy presented an "emergency plan" to improve the situation, calling for more native English-speaking teachers in France, initiating more contact between French students and English speakers, and moving from written to oral exams to encourage more speaking.Vincent Peillon, the current minister of education, has called French's students results in foreign language "particularly alarming," and has proposed a grand project for the "refoundation of the school system."As Peillon's propsal heads into debate in the national assembly next week, French journalist Grégoire Fleurot set out to get to the bottom of France's language problem, publishing a three-part series on Slate.fr, the French cousin of the American online magazine, titled, "Les Français sont nuls en anglais." Fleurot examines the structural factors that contribute to weakness in foreign languages, and, like others, he thinks there are dozens of small anxieties in French education and society that discourage students from achieving what the common European language framework calls an "independent" level.
, which had just delighted a group of French tourists and New York Francophiles.

HP bangs on glass as 3PAR marches to the altar
Shane Robison shouts 'NOOOOOOOOO'
If 3PAR decides the HP re-bid is a superior offer it is going to give Dell three days to come up with a better acquisition offer or be jilted.
Dell made an agreed $18/share offer for 3PAR on August 16, after HP refused to raise its first bid on August 1. 3PAR and Dell were then set to walk to the altar with an agreed merger, as it is called in their filings, until HP, re-energised like the graduate Benjamin in that movie, suddenly re-appears and shouts down from the balcony at the back of the church to Elaine (David Scott of 3PAR) with a better offer, and Mrs. Robinson (Dell) says: "It's too late."
Only … it's not. 3PAR and its financial advisor, Qatalyst, run by the canny Frank Quattrone, have determined that the upgraded HP bid may well be a superior offer, as referenced in the Dell-3PAR merger documents, and will "engage in discussions and negotiations with HP regarding its unsolicited acquisition proposal … promptly," to determine if it actually is superior.
It's noteworthy that Shane Robison, HP's chief strategy and technology officer, has sent 3PAR "a proposed merger agreement between HP and 3PAR, which was substantially the same as the merger agreement between 3PAR and Dell except that it did not contain any termination or other break-up fee provisions."
In other words it's probably now down to money alone and 3PAR is saying to Dell that it has to beat HP's offer to progress it's bid; piss or get off the pot effectively.
For now 3PAR will continue recommending that its shareholders accept the Dell offer, but is, subject to it determining that the renewed HP offer is actually superior, going to point the HP gun at Dell's head, giving it "three business days to negotiate an amendment to its Merger Agreement with 3PAR," once 3PAR says the HP bid is kosher.
If Dell comes back with a superior offer then 3PAR will return to the altar. If not, and the HP bid is finally determined to be a superior offer, then David Scott will take his company into the arms of that currently headless behemoth. Over to you Mrs. Robinson.
According to Bloomberg Dell is preparing to raise its bid.
Memo to David Scott: HP happens to need a new CEO by the way - only joking. ®

In Case of an Active Shooter or Hostage
An active shooter is a person who appears to be actively engaged in killing or attempting to kill people in a populated area; in most cases active shooters use firearm(s) and there is no pattern or method to their selection of victims. These situations are dynamic and evolve rapidly, demanding immediate deployment of law enforcement resources to stop the shooting and mitigate harm to innocent victims. This document provides guidance to faculty, staff, and students who may be caught in an active shooter situation, and describes what to expect from responding police officers.
Active Shooter Videos
Guidance to faculty, staff, and students
In general, how you respond to an active shooter will be dictated by the specific circumstances of the encounter, bearing in mind there could be more than one shooter involved in the same situation. If you find yourself involved in an active shooter situation, try to remain calm and use these guidelines to help you plan a strategy for survival.
If an active shooter is outside your building or inside the building you are in, you should:
- Try to remain calm
- Try to warn other faculty, staff, students and visitors to take immediate shelter
- Proceed to a room that can be locked or barricaded
- Lock and barricade doors or windows
- Turn off lights
- Close blinds
- Block windows
- Turn off radios or other devices that emit sound
- Keep yourself out of sight and take adequate cover/protection, i.e. concrete walls, thick desks, filing cabinets, or any other object that will stop bullet penetration.
- Silence cell phones
- Have ONE person CALL 911 and provide:
- "I'm at (give your location) and we have an active shooter on campus, gunshots fired."
- If you were able to see the offender(s), give a description of the persons(s) sex, race, clothing, type of weapon(s), location last seen, direction of travel, and identity - if known.
- If you observed any victims, give a description of the location and number of victims.
- If you observed any suspicious devices (improvised explosive devices), provide the location seen and a description.
- If you heard any explosions, provide a description and location.
- Wait patiently until a uniformed police officer, or a university official known to you, provides an "all clear".
- Unfamiliar voices may be an active shooter trying to lure you from safety; do not respond to voice commands until you can verify with certainty that they are being issued by a police officer or university official.
- Attempts to rescue people should only be attempted if it can be accomplished without further endangering the persons inside a secured area.
- Depending on circumstances, consideration may also be given to exiting ground floor windows as safely and quietly as possible.
- If a lock down is implemented, no one will be allowed to enter or leave the building.
If an active shooter enters your office or classroom, you should:
- Try to remain calm
- Try not to do anything that will provoke the active shooter
- If there is no possibility of escape or hiding, only as a last resort when it is imminent that your life is in danger should you make a personal choice to attempt to negotiate with or overpower the assailant(s)
- CALL 911, if possible, and provide the information listed in the previous guideline
- If the active shooter(s) leaves the area, barricade the room, or proceed to a safer location
If you are in an outside area and encounter an active shooter, you should:
- Try to remain calm
- Move away from the active shooter or the sounds of gunshot(s) and/or explosion(s)
- Look for appropriate locations for cover/protection, i.e. brick walls, retaining walls, large trees, parked vehicles, or any other object that may stop bullet penetration
- Try to warn other faculty, staff, students and visitors to take immediate shelter
- CALL 911 and provide the information listed in the first guideline
What to do if taken hostage
- Be patient. Time is on your side. Avoid drastic action.
- The first 45 minutes are the most dangerous. Be alert and follow instructions.
- Don't speak unless spoken to and then only when necessary.
- Avoid arguments or appearing hostile. Treat the captor with respect. If you can, establish rapport with the captor. It is probable that the captors do not want to hurt anyone. If medications, first aid, or restroom privileges are needed by anyone, say so.
- Try to rest. Avoid speculating. Expect the unexpected.
- Be observant. You may be released or escape. You can help others with your observations.
- Be prepared to speak with law enforcement personnel on the phone.
No matter what the circumstances, if you decide to flee during an active shooting situation, make sure you have an escape route and plan in mind. Do not attempt to carry anything while fleeing; move quickly, keep your hands visible, and follow the instructions of any police officers you may encounter. Do not attempt to remove injured people; instead, leave wounded victims where they are and notify authorities of their location as soon as possible. Do not try to drive off campus until advised it is safe to do so by police or campus administrators.
What to expect from responding police officers
The objectives of responding police officers are:
- Immediately engage or contain the active shooter(s) to stop life threatening behavior
- Identify threats such as improvised explosive devices
- Identifying victims to facilitate medical care, interviews and counseling
- Investigation
Police officers responding to an active shooter are trained to proceed immediately to the area in which shots were last heard in order to stop the shooting as quickly as possible. The first responding officers may be in teams; they may be dressed in normal patrol uniforms, or they may be wearing external ballistic vests and Kevlar helmets or other tactical gear. The officers may be armed with rifles, shotguns or handguns. Regardless of how the police appear or sound, do not be afraid of them. Do exactly as the officers instruct. Put down any bags or packages you may be carrying and keep your hands visible at all times; if instructed to lie down, do so. If you know where the shooter is, tell the officers. The first officers to arrive will not stop to aid injured people. The first responding officers will be focused on stopping the active shooter and creating a safe environment for medical assistance to be brought in to aid the injured. Keep in mind that even once you have escaped to a safer location, the entire area is still a crime scene; police will usually not let anyone leave until the situation is fully under control and all witnesses have been identified and questioned. Until you are released, remain at whatever assembly point authorities designate.
Keeping Updated
If an active shooter situation develops, the University will implement its emergency response plan and will work with law enforcement to support its their efforts to manage the incident
- Alerts on University of Alaska Homepage
- Your supervisor, department/college administrator or building coordinator
After the incident
The effects of such incidents can be very traumatic. The University will arrange for counseling services after such an incident.
