Use the camera of your iPhone, iPod or iPad to scan barcode IDs.
Protect your bar, nightclub, event, casino or retail establishment from fake IDs and underage drinking while getting smarter about your customers. BCS created the best age verification solution on the market that reads drivers licenses from all 50 states and all Canadian provinces.
BCS is not your standard ID scanning software. When a patron's ID is scanned, four pieces of anonymous information are sent to our database (time of scan, age, gender and zip code). We analyze this information and let you access it on our website. You can see patron flow over the night, week or month; compare different time periods; view gender splits on different nights; the most popular age ranges and average age; most popular zip codes, etc. Figure out if your marketing and advertising campaigns are working.
Reading mag stripe IDs requires the use of a hardware attachment which can be rented or bought online at www.barandclubstats.com

Super App For Scanning
I own a bar in Houston Texas and have been using this app for about two years and is a great tool to help prevent underage drinking in the use of fake IDs. We routinely pick off about five take IDs and night. All of our bartenders have it on their phones for weekdays when we don't have a doorman. I also subscribe to the online data statistics. Also with my Facebook marketing. It also helps me keep my staff and check.
If I only see 20 IDs scabbard on a Wednesday night I know my staff is not doing their job. I pay for them to use the ID scanner and if they are not using it, they definitely hear from me.
I can also confidently say their tech-support is amazing. We had to update our credit card info and cannot figure out how to do it. We placed a call and was quickly taken care of. They are in New York's and on Eastern standard time, but answered late at night.
I can confidently say that this is a great tool for any thing it says alcohol, tobacco and marijuana. There's no need to take guess about whether an ID is real. Get a legal record of it. I now know everyone who I do business with. There was a fight last year and we could easily narrow it down to the people who enter any certain time, and find those people.
Be smart and proactive. Don't wait into you serve a minor to get all the scanner. I hope all Houston bars use this service.
Download Top With In Training The Encoder Principle Parts Shared Deepfake Scientific Scanned Real ID as Fake
This app is wack. I went to a local restaurant and attempted to order a beer. They said my ID was out of state and needed to scan it. They used this app to scan my REAL ID and it kept coming up as fake. I had my ID renewed in February and also had the expired one too. I showed both as proof that it's not a fake and that I just got it renewed. My old one came up as expired and the new renewed one as a fake.
I think that this app is very unreliable and that it is crazy to me that a 22 year old is being marked as underage while fakes are being marked as "of age." It is also crazy how every time I go to this place I basically have to take my passport with me.
I called the DMV about this for the state of NJ but the scanners and the DMV are not related at all and that the DMV has issued me a real ID.
This app is literally a buzz kill and should not be used by any bar or restaurant that wants an accurate representation of which IDs are real and which are fake.
App is solid
This app is pretty solid! For individuals who have Fake ID can certainly test it on this app to determine whether it will work . Fact of the matter is that the manufacturers of Fake ID took their game up a notch producing ID's that will pass the scan.
On the other hand, I certainly understand how this may be a problem for some businesses for it is a liability/violation.
The app works! But be cautious for it will show some fake IDs as valid .

Preserve your rights: STOP the "Free Trade" Agenda.
You'll learn from this issue that President Obama is currently negotiating two super-sized free trade agreements: the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP: see page 33) and the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP; see page 38). Congressional approval of these agreements would put our nation on a path toward economic and political integration with certain Pacific Rim nations and the European Union, respectively. A vote by Congress on approving the TPP is expected as early as late 2013 and a vote on the TTIP is expected in 2015.
There's also the related issue of Trade Promotion Authority (TPA; see page 30), also known as fast-track negotiating authority. Since fast-track authority has played such a critical role in expediting all of our free trade agreements through Congress over the past 25 years or so, it is virtually certain that a bill to reinstitute TPA will be introduced and voted on by Congress before consideration of the TPP and TTIP agreements.
Our goal is to prevent Congress from approving TPA (vote likely in the fall of 2013), the TPP (vote likely as early as late 2013), and the TTIP (vote likely as early as 2015).
Your next step should be to learn how you can play a role in preventing Congress from approving TPA, TPP, and TTIP.
"Choose Freedom--STOP the Free Trade Agenda"
After you've read this special issue, the best way to learn more about the free trade agenda and how to stop it is to go the "Choose Freedom--STOP the Free Trade Agenda" action page on the John Birch Society website (JBS.org). This webpage provides a brief statement of what this action project is about, a brief video overview, and "Learn More," "Tell Others," and "Take Action" boxes with five links in each box for educational and action tools.
Educational Tools
Your initial set of educational tools are (1) this special report of THE NEW AMERICAN magazine: (2) two trifold pamphlets ("Not-so-free Trade" and "What's the Real Price of Free Trade?"); and (3) two reprints ("Secretly Trading Away Our Independence" and "Trans-Pacific Partnership: Secret Surrender of Sovereignty"). Other tools will be added as time goes on.
Legislative Action Tools
Three legislative action tools are provided on the JBS.org website for sending e-mail messages to your representative and senators in Congress in opposition to (1) Trade Promotion Authority (aka fast-track authority): (2) the Trans-Pacific Partnership: and (3) the Transatlantic Trade and investment Partnership. You can access these legislative action tools by going to the "Choose Freedom--STOP the Free Trade Agenda" action page on JBS.org and looking under the heading "Take Action." To contact your congressmen by phone or to visit one of their offices in person, go to https://www.votervoice.net/JBS/Address for contact information.
Activating the Grassroots in Your Area
To maximize your effectiveness, you should work with and through a pre-existing constitutionalist group in your area, such as a Tea Party group, a chapter of The John Birch Society, a Campaign for Liberty group, a 9/12 Project group, etc. If you don't have an active constitutionalist group in your area, work with other like-minded people to start one.
You should hold educational meetings to inform members of your group and other conservative groups in your community about the threat to our personal freedoms and national independence posed by the deceptive free trade agenda. Instruct them regarding how to contact their congressmen in opposition to (1) Trade Promotion Authority (TPA): (2) the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP); and (3) the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP).
Expand and intensify your education and action program until you are sure you have convinced your representative and senators to vote against TPA, TPP, and TTIP, or until you are sure that no amount of grassroots pressure will convince one or more of them to vote against the free trade agenda. If the latter case applies to your area, organize to make the free trade agenda an issue in the next election and work to gel anti-free trade agenda candidates nominated and elected to Congress.
We Can and Must Win!
We Americans have a precious heritage of God-given rights secured by our independent constitutional republic. We must not allow the deceptive free trade agenda to destroy the lives of freedom, security, and prosperity that our families and ancestors have enjoyed for over 220 years. Please join with us to block approval of TPA, the TPP, and the TTIP!

Obemeata led a group of Retrievers in breaking personal-bests to move up in the Retriever record book as the senior outclassed the field with a leap of 14.90m (48'10.75"). His jump beats his former best of 14.52m (47'7.75") by over a foot and qualifies him for the IC4A Championships to be held at Princeton in mid-May. The senior also finished tied for fifth in the high jump by clearing 1.88m (6'2").
In the women's high jump, junior Alisha Beeman (Bridgeport, Conn./Bunnell/Hartford) finished in fifth after clearing 1.62m (5'4.25").
Sophomore Abigale Slonski (Griswold, Conn./Griswold) turned in a season-best performance in the women's long jump, recording a leap of 5.10m (16'8.75") to place third at Morgan State and move up to eighth in the UMBC record book.
In the shot put, sophomore Nneoma Edokobi (Rockville, Md./Richard Montgomery) registered a top throw of 12.40m (40'8.25") on the day to finish tenth. The throw currently ranks as the seventh-best in UMBC program history. Senior Yao Adantor (Laurel, Md./Reservoir/Morgan State/Maryland) placed fifth in the men's competition with a top heave of 16.22m (53'2.75").
Adantor also placed in the top ten in the discus, finishing eighth with a top throw on the day of 44.65m (146'6"). Junior Thor Serafenas (Olney, Md./Good Counsel/Clemson) was two spots back in tenth with his toss of 43.06m (141'3").
Sophomore Caitlyn Davis (Clarksville, Md./River Hill) set a new personal-best in the pole vault by clearing 3.15m (10'4") to place third at the meet and move up to second on the Retriever all-time list. On the men's side, senior Liam Stott (Carrboro, N.C./Chapel Hill) also placed third after clearing 4.45m (14'7.25") while Thomas Carman finished in seventh (4.00m; 13'1.5").
In the 400m hurdles, juniors Paulette Fogle (Washington, D.C./Bishop McNamara) and Briana Young (Bowie, Md./Elizabeth Seton) each earned top-ten finishes for UMBC. Fogle crossed the line with a time of 1:01.71 to finish fifth, while Young placed eighth with a time of 1:02.87.
Senior Kirsten McGovern (Sykesville, Md./Century) led a trio of Retrievers to top-ten finishes in the women's 5k. McGovern placed second with a time of 8:15.98 with sophomore Angel Bucci (Upper Darby, Pa./Upper Darby) and junior Julie Gessler (Ellicott City, Md./Institute of Notre Dame) just back in sixth and seventh, respectively.
The men also placed three in the top-ten in the 5k as senior Tom Eldridge (Rocky River, Ohio/Rocky River) led the UMBC pack in fourth with a time of 15:43.22. Sophomore Austin Hayslett (Mount Airy, Md./Urbana) and junior Noah Hutton (Bel Air, Md./North Harford/Philadelphia U.) finished sixth and eighth for the Retrievers.
Sophomore D'Nique Phillip (Elkton, Md./North East) advanced to the finals for the 100m dash with a season-best time of 12.45 and then clipped it down to 12.30 to finish 12th.
UMBC will now send athletes to the prestigious Penn Relays to be held in Philadelphia beginning on Thursday, April 24 at Franklin Field.

This is followed by a table of contents that constitutes an executive summary, a general description of the company, the products and services the company offers, the marketing plan, the operational plan, and the management and organizational structures. These elements complete the narrative part of the business template. The financial part of the template should contain a financial statement, startup expenses and capitalization details, and a complete financial plan that encompasses the goals of the company.

About this report
The story of 14-year-old Edgar Jimenez Lugo involves the sensitive issues of when to name minors, including those accused of a crime, and when to grant sources anonymity.
In all stories involving juveniles accused of crimes, the Union-Tribune weighs carefully when to use their names. In general, if they are charged as adults, the newspaper publishes their names. Other considerations include the severity of the crimes and whether authorities have publicly named the suspects.
Edgar was arrested in Mexico, where the laws governing juveniles differ from those in the United States. He cannot be charged as an adult in the Mexican legal system. The Mexican government, however, named him and two of his sisters, who are 19 and 23, when the military arrested them.
For those reasons, the newspaper is naming them.
The newspaper is not, however, identifying any of Edgar's other siblings. They have not been accused of crimes and some are minors. Also, in a situation that deals with violent drug traffickers, naming them could put them at risk.
Those same considerations led to the newspaper's decision not to use the names of some sources in San Diego and Mexico who gave information about Edgar and his family.
A teenager captured international headlines this month after admitting that he beheaded people for a Mexican drug cartel while under the influence of narcotics. Fourteen years ago, that same boy began his life in San Diego with cocaine in his system.
Edgar Jimenez Lugo's arrest and confession show what can happen when children — especially orphans or those from unstable families — become involved in the drug underworld. It's a problem authorities on both sides of the border are fighting.
More than 32,000 people have died in Mexico since President Felipe Calderón launched an unprecedented war on that nation's drug traffickers and organized crime in 2006.
Still, many Mexicans were stunned by the specter of child recruits being used as hitmen for cartels, said Ursula Oswald, an analyst of social vulnerabilities at the National Autonomous University of Mexico in Cuernavaca.
"Everybody suspected but wasn't sure this existed, until you have this case," Oswald said.
Edgar's story started in 1996 in San Diego, where his birth wasn't greeted with the typical family fanfare. His parents were leading a tumultuous life of drug addiction, alcoholism and domestic violence.
In the months before he was born, his father, David Antonio Jimenez Solis, was jailed for spousal abuse. He later acknowledged to a probation officer that he snorted cocaine daily, smoked marijuana and drank a six-pack of beer each day.
Edgar's mother, Yolanda Jimenez Lugo, told her probation officer that she suffered from depression and used cocaine to boost her spirits and energy.
When Edgar was born and tested positive for cocaine in the hospital, child welfare workers immediately took him from his mother, along with five of his siblings, and put them in foster care.
"Edgar hardly knew his mother," a relative of Yolanda's recalled last week.
By the time Edgar was 18 months old, his mother was arrested at a drug house in southeastern San Diego for possession of rock cocaine. The next month, Edgar and his siblings were sent to live with their paternal grandmother, Carmen Solis Gil, in Cuernavaca, Mexico, a tourism destination about 40 miles south of Mexico City.
She died about six years ago — around the time that Edgar was getting into fights in the second grade, eventually being expelled after he punched a girl.
"When Doña Carmen was alive, those kids didn't get in trouble," Yolanda's relative said. "Everything started coming apart when she died."
The details about Edgar and his family come from official documents and interviews in San Diego and Mexico with relatives, friends, neighbors and authorities.
But how he became part of a gang associated with the splintered Beltran Leyva cartel remains unclear.
What is known is that the Mexican army arrested Edgar on Dec. 2 at the airport near Cuernavaca. The military then twice paraded him before a throng of news media, first at the airport and then the next day in Mexico City.
His place in the spotlight followed the posting of a YouTube video last month showing teens — including one called "El Ponchis," Edgar's nickname — boasting about decapitating cartel enemies. The footage created a buzz throughout Mexico and led to a military hunt for the youthful hitmen.
Turbulent lives
Edgar's parents met in their hometown of Jiutepec, a suburb southeast of Cuernavaca.
David worked as an assembler for three years for Nissan before he and Yolanda, along with their two young daughters, entered the United States in 1989.
The family crossed through the mountains, said a relative of Yolanda's who lives in San Diego. David became a legal U.S. resident; Yolanda didn't.
"They came for a better life," the relative said.
Once in San Diego, David did factory and construction work and took part-time jobs as a laborer. Yolanda was a homemaker.
In all, she and David had seven children, including another "cocaine baby" born right before Edgar and given up for adoption.
It was around 1994 when David started using cocaine. "He introduced her to that life," Yolanda's relative said.
Even after their children were taken from them by county Child Protective Services, the couple's troubles, including substance abuse, continued.
Less than a year after Edgar's birth, David was arrested a second time for domestic violence.
In July 1997 came Yolanda's arrest for rock-cocaine possession. By then, she was estranged from David. A probation report quoted a Child Protective Services worker saying David was allegedly "gunning for" Yolanda, and that "she has basically been homeless or 'on the move.' "
The next month, the couple's six children were sent to their 71-year-old grandmother, who was in the process of adopting them.
Then in September, San Diego undercover detectives arrested David at a drug house for possession of rock cocaine. He was sentenced to a year in jail. It's not clear if he was deported, but he did return to Mexico.
Yolanda was deported after she served two months in jail. Within four months, she was back in the United States.
"After she had that problem with drugs, she changed her life around," her relative said. "She dumped the bad influences in her life."
Caught during escape
Yolanda started over again in San Diego with Gabriel Aguirre Manuel, who worked repairing electronics. She gave birth to a daughter in 2000 and to another one in 2001.
The family moved to an apartment in Logan Heights, where neighbors knew Yolanda as the woman who sold Avon products and the Jehovah's Witness who went door to door talking about God and handing out literature.
"She was a good person," a longtime neighbor said. "She never caused any problems."
The owner of a nearby market said Yolanda typically bought stamps, snacks for her girls and phone cards to call south of the border.
Yolanda never went back to Mexico to see Edgar and his siblings, but she stayed in touch with them and would send money occasionally, her relative said.
Around 2008, her daughters Elizabeth and Lina-Ericka, now 19 and 23, came to visit for a couple of months in San Diego. Elizabeth returned later on her own, and her Mom tried to persuade her to stay and get a job.
Ten days ago, Edgar and Elizabeth were planning to fly from Cuernavaca to Tijuana and then cross into the United States. Their goal: to flee Mexico and seek refuge with their mom.
Both children are tied to the Beltran Leyva affiliate.
An anonymous tip led the army to the airport, where soldiers arrested Edgar and Elizabeth. Bags packed with dirty laundry suggested a hasty departure for a flight that would have put the pair at the U.S. border just before midnight. Lina-Ericka, who drove her siblings to the airport, also was arrested.
Four days later, on Monday night, the U.S. Border Patrol sent agents to the San Diego street where Yolanda and her family live. She and her husband were arrested for illegally re-entering the United States after previously being deported.
Her bail was set at $20,000; his at $15,000. Their two daughters, both U.S. citizens, are staying with a relative.
Accusations of murder
A day after Mexican officials identified Edgar as "El Ponchis," a car with a speaker on its roof drove through the streets of Tejalpa, a neighborhood on the outskirts of Jiutepec where the teen grew up, blaring news of the boy's capture.
Some people wondered how Edgar had arrived at this point in his young life.
Gym teacher Daniel Franco remembered him as a second-grader before he was expelled from school. "At that age, he wasn't taking drugs," Franco said. "He was a good-natured but abandoned kid."
Authorities said Edgar and Elizabeth worked for Julio "El Negro" Radilla, who has been fighting for control of the drug trade in the state of Morelos, which includes Cuernavaca and Jiutepec. The region was part of Beltran Leyva territory until Mexican marines killed the cartel's leader, Arturo Beltran Leyva, a year ago.
In the months leading up to Edgar's arrest, he reportedly spent much of his time with gang associates in a one-story house that served as a hideout, according to the military. The concrete dwelling has steel doors and a windowless facade on one of the neighborhood's more desolate streets. A week after the boy's arrest, a police patrol car was still stationed out front, shooing away gawkers.
After the YouTube video appeared, troops stormed the house in Tejalpa intent on finding "El Ponchis." They arrested six adults, but Edgar eluded them.
A suspected member of Radilla's gang of hitmen who was captured last week said corrupt local and state police officers helped the gang stay one step ahead of military operations.
Army investigators allege that Edgar participated in four mutilation-killings, citing images of the torture found on his cell phone.
Officials have not released any detailed testimony or physical evidence linking Edgar to the deaths, beyond the boy's incriminating statements at the two news conferences.
Edgar told reporters he was recruited into the gang at 11 and introduced to drugs at the same time by Radilla, the top enforcer for the Cartel of the South Pacific. He admitted carrying out four beheadings while drugged and said he was told that his family would be harmed if he didn't go along with the killings.
The boy is under investigation for the four homicides that occurred when he was 14, the minimum age for juvenile prosecution. He also is being investigated for illegal weapons possession, drug possession and participation in organized crime.
Edgar is being held at an undisclosed location for his security. Authorities have two months to decide whether to put him on trial or release him.
Elizabeth, who allegedly has a romantic relationship with Radilla, and Lina-Ericka are being held for up to 30 days while the investigation continues. They are suspected of having ties to organized crime.

As a screenwriter and producer, James V. Hart has helped translate the work of several disparate authors to the big screen: Bram Stoker (Dracula), Robert Louis Stevenson (Muppet Treasure Island), Carl Sagan (Contact)—he's also among the ranks of writers who've taken a swing at adapting Ayn Rand's weighty Objectivist tome, Atlas Shrugged. But to a certain segment of the moviegoing public, the Texan-born filmmaker is best remembered for his contributions to the continuing legend of Peter Pan: 1991's Hook. The tale of a Pan who left Neverland and grew up to be everything he once despised, the film was deemed a bomb at the time of its release—an expensive production that had difficulty recouping its budget and went unloved by critics. Kids loved it, though, and 20 years on, it inspires fond memories from those who caught the film during its original run. "I'm overwhelmed when kids—they're in their 30s now—come up to me and start quoting lines," Hart tells The A.V. Club. "Or tell me a story about how they saw Hook with their grandfather, mother, or father, or how they watch it every Christmas again." It's these memories—"happy thoughts," as the film's Lost Boys might call them—that inspired a series of 20th anniversary screenings of Hook, the first of which takes place tonight at the Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum. In advance of the Austin screening, The A.V. Club spoke with Hart about the film's dinner-table origins, writing for pirates, and why Captain Hook is more interesting than his flying, eternally young adversary.
The A.V. Club: The screening is in commemoration of the 20th anniversary of Hook, but your involvement with the project stretches back to 1985, correct?
James V. Hart: Probably before that. Jake, our son, whose idea Hook was, had even started messing around with the idea when he was 3 years old. We introduced him to Peter Pan, the storybook and everything, and at some point he did one of those drawings that a 2- or 3-year-old does, where it's all scribble scrabble, and they hold it up and say, "Look Mom, look Dad, look what I did," and you go, "Hey, that's great… what is it?" And he said, "That's the crocodile eating Captain Hook," and we're going, "Oh yeah, we can see that." It looked like early Picasso or something. But then he corrected himself and said, "Ah, but Captain Hook got away. The crocodile didn't eat him." And that started the whole "Captain Hook got away/revenge" sequel to Peter Pan.
Everybody had been trying to do it—Spielberg had been trying to do it, Francis [Ford] Coppola had tried to do it, Michael Jackson—and it always came up the same idea. John Hughes was going to do a Peter Pan at Disney, Lasse Hallström was going to do a Peter Pan. But it was always pretty much the same story about the Darling family going back to Neverland. I was never going to be able to play at that game. Then when Jake was 6—we used to play a game at the dinner table where we tried to stand the great fairy tales and the great stories on their head and come up with a "what if?" "What if the glass slipper didn't fit Cinderella's foot?" "What if the ring didn't fit Frodo's finger?" And then Jake asked the question, "Well, did Peter Pan ever grow up?" And I was not a very good parent in those days, and I said, "Yeah, that's a stupid question. Of course Peter Pan never grew up. Are you crazy?" And then he sort of defiantly looked at me and said, "Yeah, but what if Peter Pan grew up?" And that was it—all the bells and whistles went off. That was when we all realized that we had all outgrown our ability to fly and our belief in fairies, and we'd sold out our imaginations and our childhoods to be capitalists and materialistic and successful. We really had forgotten. We really had killed Peter Pan. And that was the beginning of the idea of Peter Pan growing up. And we worked on the story together as a family, and that became the basis for the movie seven years later.
AVC: Do you think that metaphor of young idealists growing up to become corporate pirates still carries relevancy 20 years after the movie came out?
JVH: Well yeah, just look around. It's hard to maintain an imagination and a whimsical approach to life when you see the world falling apart around you. Greed and pursuit of success at the expense of others, and chopping arts budgets at schools, and trying to do in NPR, and trying to cut education and anything that has to do with the imagination—it's sort of like corporate piracy, the enemy of the imagination, the enemy of any kind of innovation. And then you see somebody like Steve Jobs. Where did the iPad come from? It came from somebody's imagination. So yeah, I think it's relevant today, and I think it was relevant 100 years ago when Barrie created it. Look at Wall Street, look at what we've done to destroy people's pension plans. If you believe in fairies, you're screwed.
AVC: You've written several scripts and one novel—the Peter Pan prequel Captain Hook: Adventures Of A Notorious Youth—involving pirates. What got you interested in that subject matter?
JVH: My mother. I was a pirate fan from the very beginning. Jean Lafitte jumped out at me when I was a Cub Scout. We're from Louisiana, I grew up in Texas—the Battle of New Orleans was always a big thing for me historically. I was impressed that a pirate joined with the U.S. government to defeat the invaders. I was reading about pirates, wanting to be a pirate, acting out pirates. When I first saw Peter Pan on stage as a musical in Fort Worth—and then the Disney cartoon—I was more interested in Captain Hook than I was anybody else. Especially in the musical; I didn't care for him in the cartoon—he wasn't very threatening. The whole relationship between Peter Pan and Captain Hook was something I grew up with. Long John Silver was another big hero of mine. I couldn't find them as being totally bad guys. Long John Silver taught a lot to Jim Hawkins. Captain Hook, the way J.M. Barrie wrote him, was an extraordinarily tragic character who was angry about getting old. Captain Nemo, my other favorite villain: The guy wanted to end slavery, abolish war, get rid of WMDs—I couldn't figure out why we were supposed to hate him. The more I investigated these guys, the more I liked them. I had to start beginning to think that pirates aren't bad, there's something else about them.
I'm involved in a miniseries by Donald Parks based on a book called The Republic Of Pirates, which is about the nation that pirates formed in the Caribbean, in New Providence, in the Bahamas in 1715 that was the purest democracy that we've ever seen in the Western Hemisphere. Ex-slaves fled there to be free, and they were treated as equals. Everybody had an equal vote. It was a republic that brought trade between Europe and the States to a standstill. And it was all about freedom. It was guys who had been persecuted by the British Navy, the Spanish Navy, and the French Navy. Runaway slaves, people who had been tortured. Here they go and form a very pure democracy. That was news to me; I hadn't seen a pirate portrayed that way. I still haven't. I'm hoping my next big pirate adventure is The Republic Of Pirates.
AVC: Is there anything you find challenging about writing for those kinds of characters?
JVH: Yeah, what are you going to leave out? They're so rich, and they're so layered in back story and with dreams and torment and trauma and psychological disorders and heroics. Captain Hook, in [Captain Hook: Adventures Of A Notorious Youth]—I really investigated his makeup and why he turned out the way he did. I always like making the villains have a heroic side to them, having a moral compass, because the good guys are flat out boring. We learn more from the villains.
AVC: In both of your versions of Hook, you really drive home his obsession with that "good form/bad form" dynamic.
JVH: Yeah, "good form" was his favorite phrase, and he believed in it. If you go back and read Barrie's writings about Captain Hook, there is an essay called "Hook At Eton," which is where I got the idea to expand that. He was educated, he was well-read; he believed that knowledge is the most powerful thing you can have. He's sort of rueful about all of the hypocrisy and the institutions that are supposed to be right really being evil. That was the character I wanted to write. When I began to research Dracula, I found out he was a knight, he served the church, he defended the cross of Christ. This was a guy that wasn't wearing a cape, running around wanting to suck people's necks. This was a very elegant, very distinguished warrior. I always try to find the other side of the villain that nobody's bothered to explore, because they deserve their day, they deserve to be revered for what they are and not just cast off as some evil, stupid, dark, dumb, cardboard villain. The key is to make them difficult to hate.
AVC: The majority of your produced screenplays have been adaptations of literary works. How do you balance writing within and from someone else's work with asserting your own voice?
JVH: Well, adaptations are sort of how I made my career. I think if I had a curse, it was that I could find the movie inside the book—and still be true to the spirit of the novel, of the story, and the characters, and not just throw it out the window and start over. I still have a lot of respect for the author. I always find solutions to problems inside the original book. Just like in Captain Hook, I became the character. I found the persona, I found an identity that I can wear very easily. So it's fun for me to write that character. That's who I want to be. I think it's so consistent with my own philosophy, and sort of how I view the world. And I think all writers do that. We all find—whether we're writing a female character or an animal or an alien or a monster or a villain—we all find ways to fold ourselves into them. Captain Hook just seems to be my favorite. If I come back as a CG animated character, I want to come back as James Hook.

MOORPARK, Calif. - No. 19 Cal Lutheran used three third quarter touchdowns to take control and hold on for a 28-17 victory over Pacific Lutheran at Griffin Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
Box Score: CLU 28, PLU 17 - F
Leading 7-3 at halftime, CLU found the end zone on its first three second half possessions to take a 28-3 lead with just under five minutes left in the third quarter. The Lutes defense had trouble stopping the big play offense of the Kingsmen and barring turnovers they were able to capitalize.
Despite completing only 13-of-23 passes CLU quarterback Jake Laudenslayer threw for 271 yards, more than 20 yards per completion. Each of Eric Rogers' three receptions went for more than 20 yards, but none was bigger than withstanding the big hit when hauling in a first down grab at the PLU two-yard line on third-and-19.
That play set up the first of three successive touchdown drives, but another receiver had a career day in leading the CLU offense.
Kingsmen newcomer Frankie Jones was the primary target of the aerial assault securing eight receptions for 170 yards. A 70-yard touchdown catch was the final CLU score of the game putting the home side up by at least four scores with just under 20 minutes left in regulation.
The running game totaled 281 yards in all led by senior tailback Daniel Mosier who racked up 166 yards on the ground. He played only three quarters and gained 85 yards on just five third quarter carries including a two-yard score.
Deme'Trek Chambers carried the ball 14 times for 60 yards in the second half and matched Mosier with a two-yard scoring run of his own on the ensuing Kingsmen possession.
While the offense racked up 552 total yards, the defense held Pacific Lutheran to only 302 yards and just 62 on the ground.
To begin the second half the PLU offense went three plays and punted before scoring a pair of fourth quarter TDs. The Lutes held the ball for nearly 20 minutes in the first half but were unable to sustain any substantial drives coming out of the halftime break.
After the CLU defense was on the field for 11 minutes and 17 seconds in the second quarter alone, that unit was on the Griffin Stadium turf only 11 minutes, 15 seconds the entire second half.
Following the second of two first quarter CLU turnovers the Kingsmen defense was faced with the Lutes starting a drive at the 20-yard line. Trailing 7-0 the Lutes failed on a fourth-and-one conversion attempt rather than possibly kicking a short field goal.
PLU running back Brandon James covered 83 yards on his 20 carries but the Lutes were forced to abandon the running game facing a sizeable deficit.
Quarterback Zack Halverson put together a pair of lengthy fourth quarter scoring drives and finished the day completing 23-of-38 passes for 240 yards and two scores.
The PLU defense snagged two interceptions and used a late third quarter pick by Sean McFadden to spark a comeback. The Lutes scored touchdowns on their next two possessions but failed to recover an onside kick in the final two minutes of regulation.
Cal Lutheran (1-1) has two weeks to prepare for its SCIAC opener against Redlands on Saturday, Oct. 1. Location and time will be announced the week of the game.

there is a big parking area on the spot. after parking your car put on your wetsuit, take your car and have fun.
it is the best place for surfing on sylt, sometimes the waves became fast and hollow(some people say you can have a tube out there but this is not raly often).
I think it is a real good spot for everyone. on small days you can have some good longboard waves but there are also days where you can take your shortboard and get some fast and good waves.

additional info - Wenningstedt is mostly a shorebreak... waves tend to barrel, but most of them are closeouts! There are absolutely no crowds whatsoever & it's a rare occasion, that there are more than 4 or 5 surfers out in the water... currents can be pretty nasty and watch out for the jetties, that come every 200m: they aren't marked, so it's possible you hit one of them during a high tide surf session... my advice: go luck for different line ups during low tide, when the surf sucks and stick to them, when paddling out @ high tide!
By FloJoe , 01-02-2007
- I think this spot should get 3 stars, because it is the best spot in Germany. Apart from Eisbach in Munich. But remember: "Locals only" ;D

Company Supports Alumni Site
SALISBURY – Prospective homebuyers will have a fresh, new way to search for newly constructed homes on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, Virginia and Delaware starting this summer.
EasternShoreHousing.com, an innovative new website showcasing communities, builders, homes and towns across the shore, will launch on July 1.
The start-up site is locally owned and operated by an energetic staff that includes Salisbury University (SU) alumni who have decided to stay on the shore to pursue something they believe will change the way people search for homes on the peninsula. The team includes Katie Redmiles, a 2007 graduate from the Fulton School of Liberal Arts at Salisbury University, and Adam Rones, a 2007 graduate from the Perdue School of Business.
"I'm very particular about where I want to live," founder Blake Pierson said. "For me, finding a place to call home is as much about finding a local culture that fits my lifestyle as it is about finding a house that I like. I love reading or working in coffee shops so I'd search for a home that has nearby coffee shops, so why not give others that same option? Everyone's interests differ so we wanted to empower people to search based on what's important to them and what their lifestyles require so they can truly discover a place to call home.'
The site has already gained the support of Burbage Communities, a staple of Eastern Shore development for 23 years. Owned and operated by John (Jack) H. Burbage, Jr. an Todd E. Burbage, SU alum '95, Burbage Communities offers a wide array of housing and community options ranging from Sunset Bay in Chincoteague, Va., a 65-unit waterfront condominium building, to Bay Point Plantation in Berlin, a waterfront community with 33 single-family land sites.
"This website will be great for the Eastern Shore and I really see it revolutionizing the home search process on and off the shore, and that's why I've committed to include my communities on the site. There's nothing else quite like it out there for both the home buyers and the builders," Todd Burbage said.
Merrill Lynch Appointment
SALISBURY – Merrill Lynch has announced the appointment of Ryan C.A. Kirby as Associate Resident Director for the Salisbury branch.

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie has another reason to sing the president's praises.
Barack Obama, having won major props from the Republican governor for his response to Hurricane Sandy, built a bridge that Christie had probably lost hope of ever crossing--the bridge to the Boss.
And we don't mean Michelle Obama!
Best of the 2012 presidential election
Instead, Obama was having a phone conversation with Christie while aboard Air Force One when he asked the governor if he had time to talk to somebody who was flying the friendly skies with him.
"In times of real difficulty, he thought the only thing better than one Jersey guy was two Jersey guys, and he put Bruce Springsteen on the phone," Christie, an avowed Springsteen fan who never had occasion to meet the long-time Democrat due to their political differences, told reporters at a press conference today.
"Bruce said to me how proud he was of his state," Christie said. "How proud he was and how tough we are. It was a good conversation today, and it was great to talk to the president--and even better to talk to Bruce."

Hmmm, we wonder if Christie has been too busy to cast an early ballot. Mitt Romney might want to give him a call, you know, to see where he's at.
But though Christie obviously just had a glory day, Springsteen, a longtime Obama supporter, wasn't quite as quick to gush about the experience.
When he disembarked with Obama in Columbus, Ohio, he was asked on the tarmac what he and Christie talked about, and all he said was, "Sorry, I have to get ready." (So obviously the hug they shared at the Hurricane Sandy telethon Friday night was off-limits, too.)
Stars take to Twitter to get out the vote
The Rock and Roll Hall of Famer did retweet this sentiment from ABC News' Jake Tapper, however: "By bringing together @Springsteen and @GovChristie, perhaps the president's Nobel now makes a bit more sense, amirite?"
So, he's at least acknowledging that it happened. And Springsteen did have quite the event to get ready for. Less than 24 hours before the polls open, he and Jay-Z shared the stage with Obama at Columbus' Nationwide Arena.
Springsteen strummed out acoustic versions of "No Surrender," "The Promised Land," "Obama" (aka "Forward") and "Land of Hope and Dreams."

Cybersecurity, It's Not Just for IT Anymore
Oct 30 2019
62 mins
Dave Hatter, Cyber Security Consultant, Intrust IT
Cyberattacks are increasing in frequency, sophistication and impact. Recent cybercrime statistics are eye-opening:
The University of Maryland reported that an attack happens every 39 seconds on average, affecting one in three Americans every year
Ransomware costs have risen 184% from $12,762 to $36,295 in Q2 2019 according to a Coveware study
The FBI reported Business Email Compromise (BEC) is a $26 billion dollar enterprise
89% of breaches had a financial or espionage motive according to the Verizon 2016 Data Breach Investigations Report.
SCORE reported that 43% of attacks are on SMBs,
Unfortunately, EVERY organization and individual is a target, and as technology becomes increasingly important in our personal and professional lives, the attack surface grows. IBM CEO Ginni Rometty recently said cybercrime is "the greatest threat to every profession, every industry, every company in the world', and former FBI Director James Comey said
"There are two kinds of companies in the United States. There are those who've been hacked ... and those who don't know they've been hacked." In this webinar, you'll get concrete tips and actionable information that will help you improve your personal and professional cybersecurity posture so that you, your organization and your family don't become another statistic.

ITIL 4 vs ITIL v3 – From CSI to CI
Jun 20 2019
53 mins
Allen Ureta
ITIL v3 introduced Continual Service Improvement (CSI) as a service lifecycle stage that identifies and implements improvements across service strategy, service design, service transition and service operation. This approach has been successfully used to transform organizations and provide a framework to plan, engage and improve the people, products, partners and products necessary to achieve organizational objectives. ITIL 4 maintains the importance of Continual Improvement to the overall Service Management System (SVS) with some updates to modern thinking. Applying a multi-dimensional view, along with an integrated system for value co-creation, enablement and delivery, ITIL 4 re-introduces Continual Improvement as both a model for improvement and a general management practice. This session will discuss hot ITIL 4 guiding principles continue to be used as part of the Service Value Chain to deliver value to customers and consumers.

Lean and DevOps: All in the Family
Oct 30 2018
62 mins
Mike Orzen, President, Mike Orzen & Associates, Inc. Niels Loader, Partner & Principal Consultant an Quint Wellington Redwood
'DevOps' has become a magic word in IT. But what is DevOps, really? And what is its relationship to Lean IT and Agile? Two key experts who are furthering adoption and development of the DevOps Agile Skills Association (DASA), Mike Orzen and Niels Loader, attempt to clear up any confusion as they review a brief history of DevOps.
In this day and age, it is almost impossible to open a website, article or publication about IT without coming across DevOps. It seems to be defining the current state of development of the IT industry. It is also one of the most misunderstood and misused terms today. DevOps is a label we have devised to describe the journey of the IT industry towards the application of Lean principles to the delivery of IT services and customer value.
This session offers a loosely scripted conversation between two thought leaders in the DevOps community in which they explore the relationship between Lean, Agile and DevOps.

Are you doing Continual Service Improvement by ACCIDENT??? Do you think you are not doing Continual Service Improvement (CSI), or not doing it well? What if you found out that you ARE doing CSI, but just don't realize it? If you think that you don't have time to improve, or have no idea where to start, and cannot get management buy-in and sponsorship to begin CSI, then this session is for you! Don't let your service quality be held back because CSI is too hard to get started.
This session will cover identifying areas in your organization where CSI is "brewing", how to make those areas relevant to your CSI needs, and how to develop a CSI Roadmap. We will discuss the "low hanging fruit" of CSI, how to identify where you are ACCIDENTALLY doing CSI, and how to make it PURPOSEFUL CSI. Then you can say, "YES! I did thaaaaaat!'

Unlock the Hidden Treasure – Justifying Problem Management
Aug 9 2018
64 mins
Bob Rice
Problem management is the hidden treasure of Service Management. It is key to ensuring reducing the cost of IT services, improving the value of IT services, and improving customer satisfaction. But how do you justify investing in problem management?
Too frequently problem management is understood as something that must be done when things really get bad, or when a customer is screaming because of a failure somewhere else, or as a "last resort" when no one knows what else to do.
In reality, problem management is key to improving the performance of IT and improving the customer's view of IT's true capabilities, whether related to technology, applications developed in-house, software, cloud services, etc. You name it, problem management has a role.
This session will cover:
•Investigating the hidden treasure – What does it take to get problem management "off the ground"; the who, what, where, when and why of problem management
•Searching for the hidden treasure – Gather your team and start mapping metrics for problem management
•Digging up the hidden treasure – How to start - the approach to implementing problem management
•Protecting the hidden treasure – Retain the value - keeping the momentum with problem management

Unguarded – A Roadmap For Cyber-Security Improvement
Jun 28 2018

Randy Steinberg
The IT infrastructure management landscape is rapidly changing. Much of what IT used to support, build and deliver on premises is moving up into the Cloud. IT services are moving up and out of the data center and access to these services is moving beyond the four walls of the business. New technologies and devices are spreading and stretching when and where IT services can be used (e.g. Internet of Things). While the shift towards more agile and flexible delivery channels for IT services is creating new business opportunities, it is also creating new business challenges for securing the IT infrastructure and delivering those services safely. How are IT organizations meeting this challenge? What strategies are organizations employing? What technologies, processes and organization changes are taking place to keep the business safe? Learn some answers to these questions and leave with ideas and a roadmap to secure your own IT Infrastructure.

MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. – Junior Daniel Horseman (Cohutta, Ga.) of the Georgia College cross country team was named Bobcat Athlete of the Week for the week ending Nov 7. This marks the second such honor for Horseman and the third for Bobcat cross country program this season.
Horseman took eighth this weekend at the Peach Belt Conference (PBC) Championships, good for an All-PBC Second Team selection. Pacing the Bobcats for the fourth time this season, Horseman crossed the finish line in the 8K race at 26:18, listed as second in the school record books. Horseman became the first All-PBC runner for the Bobcat men since 2007. All-time, Bobcat men have now won seven All-PBC accolades.
The Bobcats are back in action Nov. 20 at 10 a.m. in the NCAA Southeast Regional in Charlotte, NC.
The Georgia College Department of Athletics, back-to-back winners of the PBC Commissioner's Cup, sponsors 10 varsity athletic programs at the NCAA Division II level. As a Division II program, Bobcat Athletics prides itself on balancing the life of the student-athlete, evidenced by the teams' multiple appearances in post-season competition as well as documented academic success and community-service involvement. Sign up at www.twitter.com/GCSUBobcats and www.facebook.com/GCBobcats for up-to-the-minute reports, and visit www.GCBobcats.com for more information, and to nominate your favorite former Bobcats and Colonials to the GC Athletics Hall of Fame.

CCTV is like having an insurance policy. It's something you have, in hopes that you never need it. And yet if you need it, you wished you had it. I got caught with my pant's down because i was one of those small businesses that just could not justify spending $1600 on a CCTV Security System, because i felt it was too much. But hindsight is 20/20. Because i suffered a break in that nearly cost me my business. My advice is spend a reasonable amount on a good system and it will pay for its self in no time. FYI i got my system from the good guys at CCTV Boss. They spend over an hour with me on the phone asking all the right questions, resulting in a system that was perfect for me and within my budget. Give them a try. You can tell I'm a fan.

For the man they have in mind, seven years will be enough time for him to meet the qualifications. According to New Orleans' charter:
The Mayor shall be a citizen of the United States and a qualified elector of the City, and shall have been domiciled in the City for at least five years immediately preceding the election.
Mayor Landrieu has raised expectations in the city. He ran on the promise of knowing what needed to be done to increase the city's general prosperity and improve its infrastructure, as well as knowing how to do it. As the former mayor of Neuilly-sur-Seine, Nicolas Sarkozy knows how to run a city.
As Co-Prince of Andorra, he knows how to run a principality, something which Orleans Parish has sometimes been compared to. As President of France, he is used to the rough-and-tumble of politics. Compared to a whole country the size of Texas, running New Orleans would be a cakewalk. He would certainly have the chutzpah and wherewithal to stand down the bureaucrats in Baton Rouge and cut through the red tape to get the city the independence it deserves.
There's just the niggling detail of Sarkozy's nationality and place of residence. Even in this most francophile of cities it would be impossible, by statute, to elect a Frenchman to the position of mayor. It's been a long, long time since a french speaker had any voice in New Orleans' executive branch.
This is why Sarkozy partisans are looking for Mayor Landrieu to keep up the good work and win a second term. In that time, Nicolas Sarkozy could retire from the French presidency, establish himself in New Orleans, gain citizenship, and register to vote in time to run for the city's executive office. It would be a seamless transition from one charismatic leader to the next, albeit the successor would have more hair and may not possess the same sense of rhythm for dancing in second line parades as the incumbent.
Plans are afoot to rent a home on Saint Charles Avenue for M. Sarkozy should he be interested in the plum position. Rumor has it that Tulane University is crafting a position for M. Sarkozy in diplomacy and that Ecole Bilingue de la Nouvelle Orleans is also setting up a desk for an unnamed possible grammar professor to be signed to tenure. If M. Sarkozy is going to live in the city, true to his ethic, he'll have to work.
Word on the street is that this is all just hopeful prognostication. Sarkozy's spokespeople deny that the sitting president has any plans beyond governing the French Republic and they refute that he any designs on being New Orleans' mayor. I was in the back room at Iggy's the other night and I stumbled into a conversation between folks who were convinced of the contrary.
A grizzled dockworker opined, "Sure Sarkozy's a shoe-in. We need that kind of expertise and I think we can sweeten the pot a bit. Heck, I'll personally deliver five pounds of crawfish and a pot of Pontchartrain crabs to his house every day he's in office. He'll be better than Nagin."
The pulse on the street is that Sarkozy, or anybody, will be better than this chap:
A letter writing campaign will be launched shortly to convince M. Sarkozy that it is in his and the world's best interest to run for Mayor of New Orleans. This world class city deserves the best. On it's upward trajectory, New Orleans has already elected a better mayor. When this one is done with his job, it will be time to trade up even further. Aim high, New Orleans. You are already the best and you deserve the best leader you can get.
This message paid for by the Committee to Elect Sarkozy. They agree with this message.

The nCycle has a lot going on. It looks great and it's super sleek, but it might be a little over-designed. Maybe. Modelled by Marin Myftiu, the bike's feature set starts with handlebars that double as a lock, so you don't have to carry one around, and goes from there.
The nCycle has a retractable "nPocket" for a laptop or book, it folds down, and there's 360-degree handlebar rotation. The bike is also pretty trim considering it can be upgraded to include an electric motor, and it has a novel wheel design that's pretty sick.
But the bike is still a concept, which isn't surprising once you get into the electric system. There's smartphone integration with a built-in speaker for jam cranking, but the phone isn't mounted directly on the handlebars because of safety concerns. Instead it sits on the bike body and syncs to a holographic display on the right handlebar. Yeah, because that totally exists as a practical option in the real world.
Oh and the price tag is already $US4000, even though you can't buy it, so you figure that one out.
