Tactical Information Systems (or Tactical InfoSys)
We are the founders of a new software company offering hosted biometric matching services to law enforcement agencies in small and medium sized cities and counties across the US. Think cool blinky machines from CSI: Las Vegas but with an affordable monthly fee instead of equipment to purchase and without requiring a large IT support staff. Think of a "37 Signals" type approach.
This is a new service and is unknown to our target audience. Biometric matching includes fingerprints, palm prints, writer's palms, face and iris matching.
Our technology is new, cutting edge, very cool but still affordable. Our service is very easy to use. Right now a stand-alone version of this technology is available but is generally only accessible to large organizations. Our competitors are Goliath and we are David.
We are targeting law enforcement and first responder agencies in small and medium sized cities and counties first. They tend to be conservative and traditional and often have a military background. We expect to expand to other audiences later.
Imply apple pie, baseball, the hot chick in a bikini carrying an assault rifle with a flag flying behind her. Think patriotic. But please don't beat us over the head with any of it.
We have other future products planned that would be marketing to a non-law enforcement audience, so the focus should be biometrics, cool technology and not on law enforcement.
We want to present ourselves as cool, sleek, technically advanced but still easy to work with and easy to use, even if you aren't comfortable with computers. So the goal is to push the boundaries a little compared to our competitors, but not so much that that our target audience cannot relate to us.
We are looking for a logo to represent our new company, Tactical Information Systems, LLC. We are also considering using "Tactical Infosys" as a shorter version of the name.
The logo will be used on business cards, letterhead (next contest) and a website (future contest).
Would like a logo that has both a color and black & white version. Feel free to deviate from the traditional and expected but not so far that you freak out our customers. Red, white and blue and a fingerprint are the standard images used in this industry - we want to avoid trite cliches but not so much that we scare them.
Our nearest competitor is http://www.afix.net/
We really like http://37signals.com/ but not pastels and not round and cartoon-ish
Similar companies: http://www.morpho.com/MorphoTrak/Mo…morpho.asp
We are not impressed with these logos/designs, but at least you know what else is out there.
We need print and web format - both layered .psd and .jpg and whatever format a print shop will want.
Please don't use stock images or clip art.

Japanese illustrator Momo Okada is everywhere of late. She's done collaborations with Hello Kitty — and now, her take on Pokémon is getting its own line of products called "Poké Momo" for the Pokémon centres in Japan.
Okada's illustrations look like "yura kyara", which are the local mascots created to promote cities, towns, and rural villages in Japan. Some might find her take on Pokémon as totally cute, whole others might think it looks awful.
Pokémon centre is a retail chain in Japan that sells various Pocket Monster goods. Check out more "Poké Momo" in the link below.

Some years ago, I was working a Saturday reference desk shift. This was in our old building when reference and our movie collection shared the same space. There was suddenly a bit of a buzz in the front of the library: it was Roger Ebert, accompanied by two young people wielding camera and microphone.
He was scheduled to speak at a fund-raising event for the library that evening. A guided tour had been offered by our director, but the invitation was declined. Roger, as always, preferred to just mosey in and check things out on his own. He poked around here and there in the movie collection and then came over to the reference desk to congratulate us: we had passed the test: he had found all of his favorite obscure titles in our collection!
The Urbana Free – and wonderful – Library is a phrase coined by Ebert. He shared his love of the library and Miss Fiske, the librarian of his childhood, at the fund-raising event that evening. He was a skillful speaker and brought us all to sentimental tears at exactly the right point. We owe much to him for the building we occupy today.
More impressive to me, though, was his amazingly gracious manner. He stood and listened patiently to each and every person that came up to speak to him. His answers were thoughtful and intelligent, of course, but what I caught a glimpse of that night was the grace with which he would later face illness and disability.
I have no doubt that he left us today with the same grace.

#207 – Movies
I have been going to see movies in the theater less and less these past few years. It's not for a lack of quality films to see but the audience has been getting worse and worse. Why do people pay 9 bucks a piece to go sit in a dark room and talk about how crappy their job is. I actually remember when I was a kid there were ushers in the theater to make sure people behaved and to kick them out if they didn't. If there was a theater that still did that in my area they would get all my business and I would see more movies in the theater each year.

A few rules to follow when you post
Your comments may be deleted if they don't comply with any of the following rules. Moreover, you may be banned, depending on the content or the insistence of your messages. These rules may be applied even if your comment is about DBM!
#0. Comments, discussions or issues about the forum should stay on the forum.
#1. Any comment about the moderation will not be tolerated in that comment space. It's not allowed to ask why your comment had been deleted either. It's out of topic. If you want to discuss it, please send your question to the team (in menu "The authors")
#2. In that comment space, comments are only about DBM, and mostly about the current page. It's forbidden to speak about anything else. Debates linked to DBM but drifting to something else than the current page must not last for too long. If it's related with the current page but the two sides just stand firm, then it's useless to let it go on further.
#3. Do not post insult, provocation, racist, sexist, (etc) comments.
#4. Follow the rules of the English language as much as possible. No sms. If we consider a comment isn't readable, it'll be deleted.
#5. No flooding. So, do not send twice (or more) the same message, links or comments whose content is written with capital letters. The 'first' and other comments of the kind are not tolerated either.
#6. Ads aren't allowed in the comments, even if it's just for one time. Even if you're introducing yourself. Even if they're about DBZ. Even if they are short.
The 'partner sites' page is here for that.
No link can be posted, unless it had a direct connection with the current page.
#7. The "signature" aren't tolerated either (a signature is a sentence or a link at the end of your comment, that is repeated – or not – and that doesn't have any connection with what you just said and with DBM)
#8. Please, make sure that your comment does make sense, at least a little. So, please, do not send comment that are just 'yeah!' 'oh!' 'huh?' 'pfff'... so that people may know what you're talking about.
#9. Do not double post (two posts one after the other). You can use the 'edit' button. Of course, you're allowed to send several comments on the same page (well, no spamming either).
#10. Do not pretend you're another commenter.
#11. Do not write several messages with exactly the same idea on a page.
#12. No value judgement! Provocation and/or judgements (such as 'you're an idiot', 'you certainly are a kid', 'learn to read', 'your comment is rubbish', 'such a debate is useless'...) are forbidden. You comment and debate about the comics, not about the readers and their intentions. Moreover, if a debate doesn't interest you, do not take part in it.
#13. Besides, do not try to second-guess what the authors (or even the readers) have in mind. For instance: "It's obvious they're not motivated anymore", "DBM will soon end". You can't read people's thoughts.
#14. Please, avoid political, religious, identity, community etc... references.
#15. Do not accuse one another of this and that. For instance: a reader who dislike Bra isn't necessarily misogynous, a reader who dislike Uub isn't necessarily a racist.
#16. Do not be extreme to the point you lose every objectivity, even if you're defending DBM. Do not think you're moderator. So, for instance, do not write: 'Don't read if you don't like it.' 'Go and try and draw better!' or 'Stop criticizing!!' Readers may, or may not, approve of the scenario, the characters or the drawings. Debate if you wish, but keep objective. Really: do not try to do the job of the moderators, you just give them more work to do.
#17. If ever you've questions about DBM (the publication of the next page, how we work...), do not ask it here. Read the FAQ. If you can't find the answer in there, you can send a mail to the DBM team in the 'The Authors' section.
#18. Do not reply to anyone who doesn't follow one of these rules for your comment may be deleted, even if it's about DBM too.
#19. Don't ask how gravatar works, don't test your gravatar here. Seriously. Gravatar is easy to use. If you can't do it, just post without avatar. If you want help, search internet or gravatar.com.

Why A Who's Who of Global Leaders Chose Bulletin Intelligence
The daily pressures of managing complex organizations can sometimes force executives into an inward-looking perspective, while the competition lurks outside. According to a recent IBM Global C-suite Study, "A few years ago, CxOs could see the competition coming. ...Today, the competition's often invisible until it's too late." To meet this new challenge, our highly-competitive clients – from the White House to global corporations – concluded:
- Important market and competitive-intelligence insights were submerged in a vast and constantly flowing river of news and data. Their executives suffered from information overload and simply didn't have time to read and analyze it all. This created dangerous blind spots on quickly evolving markets and competitors.
- As it wasn't cost-efficient to create a costly in-house team of experts to serve their executives, they decided to outsource this function to a company that can spread the high costs of content and data licenses among its many clients and has a team of 100+ trained analysts who work through the night, enabled by patented software, to deliver executive-level intelligence briefings each morning – fully customized to the unique needs of each client's executive teams. Our 97% annual client-retention rate indicates these leaders are pleased with their decision.
In the Words of Our Clients...
"As the CEO of Frito-Lay, I needed a full and real-time picture of the industry landscape to help make decisions that would impact the company, and that's exactly what Bulletin Intelligence provided me."
"We used [the AGCO News Briefing] to form weekly messages for our sales and marketing teams. The letter provided us with content to pass on to customers regarding market conditions, current AGCO activities and competitive information when appropriate. A valuable tool in our growth strategy."
"The Bulletin Intelligence briefing is an invaluable time-saver; it distills everything our employees need to know into one easy-to-read daily deliverable. From my time at the White House, Gov. Schwarzenegger's office, Health Net and now at CRC, Bulletin has been an indispensable partner every step of the way."
"When I was in the White House, among the first items I read each day was the News Summary, an excellent way to get an in-depth look at news and events and an essential tool to staying ahead of coming challenges."
"In this era of rapidly expanding and rapidly changing sources of information, no other resource matched" Bulletin Intelligence's "success in collecting, digesting, and highlighting what I needed to know each day, without succumbing to information overload."
"We cannot start the day without the Welbilt Intelligence Briefing! It's the first email of the day, delivered to our entire company. It's been invaluable, especially to new employees. By reading it, our leadership team and staff glean the regional and global insights needed to stay on top of the competition."
"The service that Bulletin Intelligence provides is reliable, informative and practical. Their analytical experts and fully-customizable platform have served as invaluable resources to our department over the years. Their quality of work and professionalism are top-notch and their customer service is excellent in many ways, including responsiveness, flexibility and overall helpfulness."
The AARP Service "was the only way to be fully informed and ready for any curve balls that came my way."
"It comes in early, summarizes the news in a very helpful way, and points me in the right direction for more information. It's a great shortcut and very well-done."
Bulletin Intelligence "helped me keep up with all the news about the Department of Justice, and events that affected its work. It helped me assure that as I dealt with the daily issues put before me, there were none that were overlooked."
"It is one of the first emails I read every day, no matter where I am in the world. It is also a great source of quick information for my executive team on a daily basis."
"I now eagerly look forward to getting that email vibration notice around 6am … Timely communication from a credible source allows me to be a better physician."
Bulletin Intelligence was an invaluable tool for those of us in the Department of Homeland Security who needed to keep abreast of rapid developments across a wide range of subjects. The publication is a superb daily resource.
"Early in the morning as I prepared for the day and week ahead, the Briefing was the first thing I would read."
"When I was at the Department of Health and Human Services, the News Briefing was among my daily must-reads to stay informed about the news and trends related to the department's work. Bulletin Intelligence's services are valuable and reliable."
"I find it remarkably accurate and gets there early. This increases the chances of its being ahead of the curve."
"Throughout my four years working at the State Department, my days would begin and end with Bulletin Intelligence. Even in the age of 24/7 news cycles and social media, there was no better way to stay informed of what was happening in every corner of the world."
"When I was at the Department of Justice, the volume and sources of relevant news was enormous. The only way to get a good grasp of what was being reported each day was to read the DOJ News Briefing. I found it an invaluable tool."
"At the Commerce Department this was the first thing I reached for when I arrived at the office."
"The volume and reach of news coverage of the Treasury Department and its bureaus made the daily briefing from Bulletin News a critical part of my morning routine. The staff was flexible in adapting to our needs over time, and their product was reliable and first-rate in succinctly capturing the tone and core substance of reporting across a variety of media."
"USAID News Briefing was timely, short with broad coverage. Great format."
Bulletin Intelligence "was my first read of the day as Secretary and served well to keep me abreast of public domain issues, large and small, across a vast organization."
"As the Housing and Urban Development Secretary, in order to stay abreast on current housing and community development news and issues, I regularly read the Housing and Urban Development News Briefing."
"As FEMA Administrator, it was critical that I stayed on top of the news and current events. That is why each morning started with the FEMA News Summary."
"When I was in the White House, and then later at the Justice Department, I read the daily News Briefing to help keep me informed of current events and the news of the day. It was informative and helpful."

Wayland student chooses Christ after mission trip
April 19, 2013
PLAINVIEW – Zoe Benson was a picture of contradictions – 6' tall and an imposing member of the Wayland Baptist University soccer team who according to her personal profile brings "height and strength" to the team. But on this day she was scared out of her mind.
It was a Sunday morning, she was about six rows deep in the middle section of First Baptist Church, Plainview and it wasn't the first time she had been scared at the church. It was different this time, though, because as Dr. Tim Marrow, pastor of the church, began the prayer before the alter call, the church's university minister, Greg Northcutt, walked out into the congregation and stood beside the college junior. When the prayer ended and the invitation for response began, Northcutt walked with Zoe to Dr. Marrow and she made her decision to become a Christian public.
After the fact, as Zoe thought back on the morning, she explained that she had been struggling with that decision for several weeks, but is scared to get in front of people so she had not been able to muster the courage to walk down the aisle.
While that "public profession of faith," as it is called in Baptist ritual, is not a requirement of becoming a follower of Christ, it is an important part of the process because it lets others know of the individual's decision and gives them the opportunity to provide emotional support.
That had been explained to Zoe and once it was over, she was glad the church incorporated that into the process, but it didn't make it any easier when the time came to step out into the aisle.
As it turns out, the soccer player from Chico, Calif., who also is studying biology at Wayland, didn't come to the school for spiritual reasons. In fact, she almost didn't come to the school at all because it was a religious institution. She came to play soccer and study science. From a religious standpoint, she had spent much of her childhood and teen years leaning more toward atheism.
"My family isn't religious at all. When I was real little, I would go with my best friend to church but it was more just to hang out. It wasn't really church.
"I made a personal choice that I didn't want any religion. I was going to be an atheist and that's how my life was going to go and it was going to be fantastic," she said.
When Wayland's Head Women's Soccer Coach Shiloh Posey recruited her, initially she recoiled at the thought of coming to Wayland.
"Shiloh Posey came and talked to me about coming to Wayland and I was like, 'Nope! It's a religious school and I don't want to deal with that,' " she said.
However, the coach persisted and eventually convinced her that "it's not actually that bad" and she would "be okay." She wanted a college education so she decided to go ahead and come to the school, but only to play soccer and study science.
However, once Zoe got to Wayland her attitude began to change and the change started with a note from Northcutt, one that he sends out regularly to the students at the school.
"Badly enough, they said that they would give you food and they would do your laundry," Zoe said with a grin.
Northcutt explained. The church has two washers and two driers in its Family Life Center and college students can come on Monday-Thursday nights and do laundry without having to spend their quarters to use dorm or public facilities. The center also has Wi-Fi and a gymnasium so the students can work on homework, get on social networking sites or play ball. On Sundays, he continued, the church encourages adult Sunday School classes to provide lunch for college students and to come and eat with them as a way of establishing a connection between the church and the university.
Surprisingly, he said, Zoe never took advantage of either of those programs. The soccer player laughed and agreed, but pointed out that she did start coming to the church.
"I decided maybe I should just give it a try. Let's learn about it," she said. Then she added the kicker.
"I just couldn't stop going," she said.
As it turned out, that decision was part of a general change in attitude toward Christianity that actually started at school. Wayland requires that students attend Chapel each week and Zoe really didn't want to do that but didn't have a choice. She went. Then she began to meet people who didn't fit the mold of the people from her past who had offended her by "pushing religion down my throat."
"I came to Wayland and it was intimidating at first, the whole religion thing and having to go to Chapel. Then I realized that Chapel wasn't so intense. Donnie Brown (Wayland director of Baptist Student Ministries) wasn't so scary. He's kind of nice. He's kind of cool. Then I came home last summer in 2012 and I went to a Baptist church with one of my mom's co-workers and she kind of helped me with a few things and kind of walked me through how you go to church, how you go and dress and talk and hang out and all that stuff. So that was nice and then I came here and thought, 'Why not go? Why not go to church, and that's when I fell in love," she said.
Brown laughed when he heard that he was "kind of cool," but then he talked about Zoe's transition from doubter to believer.
"I first met Zoe on the soccer team," he said. "When she first got here I spoke to the soccer team once a week – just a short devotional with them, hung out with them a little bit."
From that introduction, he started having "friendly conversations" with her that really had little to do with spiritual issues.
"I was just being a friend," he said.
"Last year I spoke to all of the athletes on campus right at the beginning of the semester. Dr. (Greg) Feris (Wayland Athletic Director) had me do that. Zoe had some questions about faith, you know, 'Is there a God and is this really real?' "
He and Northcutt began to make themselves available to Zoe and tried to answer the questions she was beginning to ask, but gave her plenty of room.
"I just encouraged her to keep searching. God's big enough to ask the tough questions and if He's really real and you seek Him out, He will reveal Himself to you," Brown said.
In the meantime, Zoe had begun going to First Baptist Church and had discovered that church wasn't such a bad place either. The people she would meet on Sundays were friendly and caring. They liked her and they asked her how she was doing. The church put her to work, letting her help in the children's program where she began to care for 1-3 year-olds.
It all started to overwhelm the college student, but in a good way.
"I don't know how to explain it," she said, "but I walk in there and I say 'hello' to everybody because people there are so wonderful. They're so sweet. It's not just a Sunday thing that they're sweet. I know a lot of them outside of church. Everybody is sweet. I love to love them. They're wonderful. It's exciting to see that. I get excited every time I see one of them outside of church. They're like, 'Hey, how are you?' "
Still, she was struggling with the decision to become a Christian.
Then she got a chance to go on a medical mission trip to Honduras with the university's biology department. She decided she would go because it was a chance to travel out of the country and to work with fellow science students and build her resume. But there was one other aspect that intrigued her.
"I can work on my relationship with God – see if He can use me, see what I can do with Him and see if this is really what I want, if I really want to be in a church," she said.
Brown said that he began praying for Zoe and the trip to Honduras.
"I prayed that God would continue to reveal Himself and that especially on that trip God would really work in her life and reveal who He is to her and evidently, that's what took place. I mean God showed up," he said.
Zoe echoed that.
"The trip to Honduras really helped me, I guess, find myself a little bit. I know those mission trips are supposed to be for other people. We're supposed to go to help people and not help ourselves so much, but it opened my eyes a lot more than I expected," she said.
Once she got back to Plainview, it wasn't long before she found herself in the pew at church wanting to step forward, but being scared.
"For the past three or four Sundays I've been like, 'Go Zoe! Go! We're going to do it today! Ugh! I can't do it. I can't do it," she said.
Then Northcutt offered to come to her and walk up the aisle with her so she wouldn't feel so alone.
That worked. She went forward. But she still was scared.
"It's nerve wracking. I can't get up in front of people. My face was bright red. My knees were shaking. I felt awful up there. I felt like I needed to puke but I was up in front of people so I didn't," she said, adding that when she first turned around to face the crowd of people, many of whom were fellow students and others whom she had become friends with, she didn't see anybody that she recognized.
But then she added that it was worth it and she actually was glad the church made that part of the process.
"I think (making the decision) personally is great but doing it publically really lets everybody know and gives people a lot more hope and support. When I looked out in front of everybody I couldn't see a face that I knew for the life of me. When everybody came up (after the service) I knew a lot of people and a lot of my friends were supportive. They were like, 'Congratulations.' It was really cool," She said.

- 12-oz can whole kernel corn drained
- 1 1/2 cups Bisquick biscuit mix
- 1/3 cup self-rising flour
- Stems only of 2 green onions scissor-snipped quite fine
- 1 teaspoon season salt
- 1 teaspoon onion salt
- 1/2 cup Club Soda
Combine in a small, deep but narrow mixing bowl, the corn, biscuit mix, self-rising flour, onions and salt. Mix well with a fork till thoroughly
combined. Pour in Club Soda and mix with spoon till you have moist, thick, biscuit-like dough.
Heat enough oil in heavy saucepan that is at least 2 inches deep and is near 400 degrees F. Use a silverware-type teaspoon, rounded with the
mixture and drop into hot oil so that you can fry only a few at a time, without crowding them. In 3 or 4 minutes they'll brown and crisp, beautifully.
Lift out with slotted spoon to a paper towel lined serving basket or bowl.
Serve at once while they're still hot or reheat in oven (not a microwave) 450 degrees F for 5 or 6 minutes.

Speechless in Seattle. Tate Gate.
The last play of the Seattle Seahawks' 14-12 "win" over the Green Bay Packers on Monday night will be recalled for years to come. Combine that with the bogus pass-interference call on Green Bay's Sam Shields -- not to mention a series of other questionable calls, including one on Seattle's Kam Chancellor -- and the overall result in the Great Northwest felt a wee bit unsatisfying, as a few folks have noted in the aftermath ...
But let's put aside what the rest of the sports world is opining about -- the Golden Tate touchdown/M.D. Jennings interception -- for a moment and go in a slightly different direction. The Packers-Seahawks game further illuminated an issue that is tough to stomach -- namely, that illegal contact and pass-interference penalties on defensive backs are creeping up on absolute absurdity (thank goodness Dwyane Wade doesn't play receiver). These calls are as inconsistently flagged as any judgment in the game today. Bottom line: A defensive back has the right to try to catch the ball. It's not the cornerback's fault when a quarterback makes a poor throw, or when he jumps a route that fooled no one. The Denver Broncos got an uber-important gimme against the Houston Texans (fortunately, it didn't change the outcome), and we all saw what happened on Monday Night Football (outcome altered). But we move on, as the league always does. So ...
... Tennessee looked like a professional football team. Oakland woke up. Ditto Kansas City. On a related note, the once-formidable Saints are the NFC's only winless team. Dallas still can't block anybody -- but is 2-1. There's also a new sheriff in town, and for the first time in a long time, it's not an NFC team.
Per usual, you can bestow your football brilliance upon @Harrison_NFL. So let's push off on this deal...
(Note: Arrows reflect change in standings from last week's Power Rankings.)
PREVIOUS RANKINGS: Week 3 | Week 2 | Week 1
The Texans darn near let the game in Denver slip through their fingers ( Ben Tate) -- thanks in part to the aforementioned pass-interference penalty, which was unfortunately called on Kareem Jackson. The Texans might not feel like the best team in football, but at 3-0 with a pair of road wins, they've earned this spot. Matt Schaub continues to be quite effective (290 passing yards and four touchdowns Sunday), though he took a beating from the Broncos.
On any given Sunday, one team can lose to another. So much
went wrong for the Niners in Minnesota.
Frank Gore's fumble,
Dashon Goldson playing
Christian Ponder's bootleg perfectly only to see Ponder
make a perfect tear-drop throw over the top for a touchdown, the
David Akers blocked kick,
Alex Smith's late pick -- his first in 250 pass attempts ...
... on any given Sunday.
Matt Ryan is playing at such a high level right now that the game appears to be slow for him. He threw a pick to Antoine Cason on Sunday, but that single miscue was dwarfed by several outstanding intermediate throws, an excellent (almost indefensible) connection with tight end Tony Gonzalez and a relationship with play-caller Dirk Koetter that's firing on all cylinders.
I'm not dropping Green Bay more than one spot for that loss (win). And I even feel bad about that one little spot.
Ray Rice looked quick Sunday night. John Harbaugh? Frustrated as hell. An absentee pass rush will do that to a man. Torrey Smith, you are the man.
If Andre Brown gives this team the kind of production he did last Thursday night in Charlotte (113 rushing yards, two touchdowns), look out. What's nice about Brown is his decisiveness when it comes to picking running lanes. Now, if he could only play corner ...
Third-and-9, 10:16 to go, Cardinals up 24-6, Eagles in field-goal range (at least). This was Michael Vick's shot to get his guys back in the game. Unfortunately, the dude never had a chance. Arizona's pressure was suffocating, with Sam Acho forcing an intentional grounding. Fourth-and-29 = game over. Ray Horton's defense is the reason this team has won 10 of its last 12 games.
If you can figure out Bill Belichick's running-back rotation, hit me up at @Harrison_NFL. Or hit my beeper. Or the car phone. Also, Julian Edelman's early departure from the game in Baltimore ensured Wes Welker would get all those targets Belichick has allegedly been stingy with. Whatever; let's not knee-jerk over Welker. He'll catch 75 to 80 balls in an offense that doesn't require him to be a 122-catch guy.
Jay Cutler is still leaving plays on the field. So is Brandon Marshall. But at the end of the day, the defense imposed its will on the Rams while the passing game was at least able to contribute. Marshall and Alshon Jeffery each caught five balls in the 23-6 win over St. Louis, but safety Major Wright's catch -- er, pick -- was the tide-turner. The jury is still out on these Bears. Let's see how the offensive line fares against a tough Dallas Cowboys defense on a national stage Monday.
M.D. Jennings caught the ball;
Golden Tate caught
M.D. Jennings.
OK, getting away from the play we've all seen 35,000 times by now, what a performance by the Seahawks' front seven, which dominated in the first half with eight sacks. Some of those guys push off better than Golden Tate, and that's really saying something. (Sorry, I can't help myself.)
A lot of Eagles fans were upset over their franchise's "ridiculous" No. 9 ranking last week. Well, let's go "Spaceballs" and take it from ridiculous to ludicrous. There is no glossing over 12 giveaways in three games. Forget any other stat. That easily paces the entire National Football League. Huge test next week with the red-hot Giants coming to town. The way this season is going, Philadelphia will not only win, they won't so much as bobble a ball.
Dallas is 2-1, but that second win was ugly. The offensive line is killing this team. Right tackle Doug Free had an awful outing. Mackenzy Bernadeau sounds like a French painter whose piece has been discovered on "Antiques Roadshow." Owner Jerry Jones says the Cowboys "are built to win now." Yes, they can beat ITT Tech's defensive line.
Peyton Manning, meet the new boss, not the same as the old boss. These aren't the Texans you abused in Indianapolis for nine years. The Joel Dreessen Bowl had an exciting finish, but more importantly, it brought into question how the Broncos will fare against the Ravens, Steelers, and, of course, Texans, should they reach the playoffs.
Was that Heath Miller we saw catching the Steelers' first two touchdowns of the game? Yes, and with an up-and-very-down running game that just couldn't get going against the Raiders, that offense needs an additional threat. If there's one thing we learned from the Steelers' loss in Oakland, it has to be that it's darn near impossible to decipher who's good in the NFL anymore. (As if this was the only game that reflected that notion ...) Either way, Pittsburgh takes a big hit for losing to our 32nd-ranked team from last week.
Jets fans might holler, but there was nothing impressive about the win down in Miami. New York is extremely inconsistent, and drops in these rankings after losing its best player for the entire season. In the search for positives, give quarterback Mark Sanchez credit for making a couple of big throws late: a touchdown strike to Jeremy Kerley on third down in the fourth quarter and a nice deep ball to Santonio Holmes after Miami's Dan Carpenter missed a game-winning field-goal attempt. Still, losing Darrelle Revis means so much to Rex Ryan's club.
Hate to quote last week's rankings, but, alas, here goes: "Minnesota ran out of luck in Indy on Sunday. Bad pun. But not as bad as all of us league analysts completely overlooking Christian Ponder's fine play through two games ..." Ponder was solid again Sunday, completing 21 of his 35 passes for 198 yards and two touchdowns, with a really nice touchdown scamper as the icing on the cake. All against the best defense in the league. Hey, this club is 2-1.
The Chargers started 2-0, but these rankings had them lower than some 1-1 teams. Call it a lack of trust in San Diego's ability to play with the big boys. This tepid enthusiasm was more than validated on Sunday. Atlanta spread out and completely dominated John Pagano's defense before tapping the brakes in the fourth quarter. (Yes, the Chargers' 24-point loss could've been much worse.) Time to regroup in Kansas City.
Raise your hand if you aren't a Bengals fan and you know who Andrew Hawkins is. The former undrafted free agent from Toledo has made some big plays so far in the young season, including a 59-yard touchdown Sunday at FedEx Field. Meanwhile, that's two straight strong performances from Andy Dalton. The redhead's past two weeks have included six touchdown passes and passer ratings of 128.2 and 132.9. That's tight.
The name Shaun Hill just rolls off the tongue. Especially if you're a Vikings fan.
Can anyone at the Buffalo Applebee's find that panic button that was lying around two weeks ago? Another solid win for the Bills, highlighted by a strong defensive showing -- one that kept Browns rookie Trent Richardson (27 yards) in check. The secondary caught two balls, and kept Brandon Weeden guessing on third down. The No. 20 ranking is partially due to uncertainty at the running-back position, with C.J. Spiller potentially on the shelf. Next up: New England.
If Greg Schiano gets his offense as fired up as his victory-formation defense, the Bucs will have more than a shot against the Redskins, who can't stop anybody. On another note, what an impressive game by defensive lineman Michael Bennett. The guy completely destroyed the Cowboys' O-line. Four tackles, two sacks and a forced fumble is a pretty good line for a guy who was cut by the Seahawks a few seasons back.
While Steve Smith scraps way too much, we have to agree with his assessment of Cam Newton's sideline sulking. Fantasy points are one thing ... leadership is quite another.
After all the hoopla over who would start at tailback -- a banged-up Steven Jackson or rookie Daryl Richardson -- it didn't really matter, as the offense struggled mightily in Chicago. St. Louis produced 160 yards of total offense and was a putrid 3-for-13 on third down. Jeff Fisher definitely has a defense that will compete, but the looming problem is how often those guys will have to be on the field. The Rams only had the ball for 26 minutes in the loss.
Resilient performance on the road by a team that was lambasted in this space last week. The key now is to keep the ground momentum going ... and going ... and going ... When Jamaal Charles explodes, it opens up the field for Matt Cassel and gives the defense a chance to rest (as well as something to play for). From an overall standpoint, this team is still very much in the thick of the AFC West madness, especially with both the Chargers and Broncos falling on Sunday.
Where did that offensive output come from? The Titans came into last Sunday's game having produced just four passing plays of 20-plus yards, and Detroit had allowed just three (fewest in the NFL). So, naturally, Jake Locker completed five such balls in the league's most ridiculous contest on Sunday. Nate Washington's 71-yard touchdown gets my early vote -- and I'm guessing a lot of other people's -- for Play of the Season.
The Jags could not afford to go 0-3. Thankfully for them, they didn't. Gene Smith and the rest of the front office need to get this deal turned around. Although quarterback is always the centerpiece, Jacksonville's development (or lack thereof) transcends Blaine Gabbert. One big highlight of Sunday afternoon's win over the Colts was Maurice Jones-Drew's monster performance (177 yards). Despite notching the season's first victory, the usual holes were omnipresent, as the pass rush didn't log a single sack and the wideouts combined for five catches. Thank goodness one of those catches went for 80 yards and a touchdown, or the Jaguars would have gotten a harsh reminder of the aforementioned issues in the form of an 0-3 record.
It looked as though we had another Andrew Luck-engineered game-winning drive on our hands after Adam Vinatieri connected with less than a minute remaining. That's when Cecil Shorts happened. Yet, take stock of how competitively Chuck Pagano has these Colts playing. Through three weeks, Pagano seems to be the right hire in Indy.
Miami just could not afford to lose Reggie Bush against the Jets, as Daniel Thomas does not possess the same explosiveness, even though he made some plays. The Dolphins' offense pretty much did everything it could late to keep New York in the game. The most frustrating aspect of Miami being 1-2 (instead of 2-1) was Dan Carpenter's two missed field goals, including the 48-yard attempt in OT. This team is built to play close games with stout defense and a ground attack, ideally providing the opportunity to win late. Carpenter must come through in that situation for a club that doesn't stack up with its opponents at the skill positions -- even if it's not a gimme kick.
So nice to see Darren McFadden bust one to the house. It almost makes up for a defense that can't stop anybody. Through three weeks, the Raiders are giving up 29.3 points (26th in NFL) and 381 yards per game (23rd) while allowing a 50 percent success rate on third-down conversions (t-29th). Dennis Allen must turn around that side of the ball and give Carson Palmer some help. The process continues in Allen's old haunts -- the Raiders need a "W" in Denver this week.
The injuries on the defensive side of the ball are responsible for this ranking. In Sunday's 38-31 loss to the Bengals, you saw a defense that had just lost Brian Orakpo and Adam Carriker for the season, with a secondary that was letting receivers run around like little kids at a public swimming pool. Through three games, Washington has allowed opposing quarterbacks to throw for 1,050 yards and 10 touchdowns.
For all of us who thought the Saints would be viable playoff contenders sans Sean Payton, the 0-3 record is a wake-up call underlining the importance of a head coach/organizational leader. There might be no underrating the importance of a franchise quarterback in relation to winning, but perhaps there is something to be said for overrating it a bit. Drew Brees is a Hall of Fame quarterback who can't play defensive tackle or cornerback.
When I spoke to Brandon Weeden last week, he felt the Bills wouldn't change what they had shown defensively, that they would play it pretty straight. Unfortunately, Buffalo did enough to frustrate Cleveland on third down while picking off two Weeden passes. While he does have six picks on the young season, the rookie quarterback hasn't received a whole lot of support. Greg Little has put on a disappearing act, and 27 yards rushing from your stud running back ( Trent Richardson) isn't gonna get it done.

Benefits of Medical Alert System in Branscomb California
The experts we consulted recommend looking for a medical alert system that meets all or most of these criteria.
It works for a user's specific disability. For example, a stroke survivor may need a device he or she can activate with one hand.
It offers a choice of a wristband and/or neck pendant. Cords worn around the neck can pose a strangulation risk; wristbands may irritate those with skin ailments.
It includes help buttons that can be wall-mounted near the floor in multiple rooms in case the user falls and isn't wearing the pendant.
It offers multiple choices for whom to contact if you need help, from emergency services to a friend or relative who lives nearby.
It has a battery backup in case of a power failure.
The base station can be contacted from anywhere on your property"even in your yard or at your mailbox.
The company has its own monitoring center, in the U.S., and employs its own trained emergency operators (rather than contracting that function out).
The monitoring center has been certified by Underwriters Laboratories (UL), a nonprofit safety and consulting company.

Questions about the Personal Emergency Response System
1. Does this medical alert system work with VOIP (voice over internet protocol) telephone services? If you have Comcast or Verizon cable at home, chances are that you might also be using them for your (home) phone service. If that's the case, you are likely are using a VOIP plan (just as we do with Vonage, another major VOIP provider). Many of the traditional medical alert system providers recommend checking with your home (VOIP) phone provider to see whether they offer local 911 (and other) services. So keep this in mind, and ask*. (*Note: The alert system providers will know about their compatibility with the major phone service providers.)
2. What is the range of my alert system? MOST of the major medical alert system providers have the following components included in their "systems". A base station and a pendent of some kind (necklace – worn around the neck, belt clip, or wrist watch like device. The myHalo system even has a chest strap). MOST of the pendants need to communicate (wirelessly) with a base station that is connected to your home phone line. So, you need to know the range of that pendant to the base station. Usually this range covers most normal sized homes, and is in the neighborhood of 400-600 feet. After installation be sure to test out the range inside (and outside) the home.
3. Does someone install this for me, or do I do it myself? Many manufacturers have sales/marketing representatives that will come to your home and install/test the system for you. They usually charge a one time set-up fee for this service so ask about that fee is ahead of time! If all they do is send the alert system to you, make sure there is ample literature (on and off line) for assistance with set-up AND testing. Always TEST your medical alert system before using it.
4. Do I need a land line to use this medical alert system? In most cases the answer will be YES, but there are a few exceptions. For example, The MobileHelp Medical Alert System has a small hand-held device that connects to AT&T Wireless for use outside the home (anywhere covered by AT&T). To use their pendant (small necklace) device around the home, you still need a land line however. Also, The Wellcore Personal Emergency Response System boasts the ability to interface with some cell phones to extend the range of their device outside the home.
5. Who staffs your call center, where are they located, and what are the average response times? OK, this is a bit of a loaded question, because "outsourcing" call centers has been a trend that many, many companies take advantage of. Frankly, I've found great service from call centers all over the world, and the only thing you need to be wary of here is PERFORMANCE.

How to pick the right one in CA
One can compare medical alert systems on the basis of value, cost-effectiveness and quality. Purchase price, monthly fee, and alert neighbor facility are some of the features that can be taken into consideration.
It is a common practice for companies to compare their medical alert systems with those produced by other companies. Besides, companies provide comparison of their own products. Some of these alert systems come with warranty whereas some do not have one. Many of these products are endorsed by major medical foundations.
Some medical alert systems are specifically designed to cater to seniors living alone or left alone frequently, while others cater to both elderly people and those with certain medical conditions. Emergency medical response systems for babysitters and woodworkers are among the alert systems with maximum utility value. Watch type systems hide their alert buttons under the face of a water-resistant, fully-functional wristwatch. Some other alert systems resemble jewelry and can be worn on the wrist or around the neck. Yet others can be mounted on the wall for convenient access.
While most medical alert systems have console units, some alert systems have no console unit. One of the best examples for an alert system without console is the cell phone type alert system, which directly sends messages to the monitoring center. The alert systems with console unit work indoors or outdoors up to 100 feet from the console unit. Wireless alert systems have adjustable infrared sensors that transmit signals up to 1200 feet, and detect motion up to 30 feet away. Some medical alert systems inform the subscriber during dialing, shutdown, system test, and battery test.
To compare medical alert systems on the basis of battery life, the working time ranges from 18 to 24 hours without any power supply. Motion detector and fall sensor are additional equipments available with most medical alert devices.
How a Medical Alert System helps you?
Consider a situation when you are taking a bath and suddenly you feel congestion in your heart, and are about to collapse. Or you suffer from epileptic fits, and are on your way to the market when you sense one is coming. In such life-threatening situations, the patients and their family members remain tense every moment and are therefore nagged by a feeling of insecurity that takes away their peace of mind, making it hard to focus on daily life. This demoralizing situation becomes worse with every passing day. This is where the Medical Alert Alarms come to your rescue, to restore your confidence and the feeling of security.
There are only a few things in this world that cannot be avoided, and aging is one of these things. The lifeline medical alert system is a special type of medical device that is designed to help save lives. The systems are linked to emergency response teams, in the event that a senior requires additional care. The systems are easy to operate. They are designed to be worn by the individual who has them. With a built in voice communicator, the systems can detect your voice, when you push a button for assistance. The easy push button will route you to an individual that can help you with whatever situation you are in.
The lifeline medical alert system is a great product that has helped millions of people all around the world. Allowing for an aging parent or an individual who has physical needs to still feel like they have their independence is a huge deal. People do not like to have to rely on someone else to consistently help them. With personal emergency response systems, the individual does not have to. They can live their own life and reach out for help if they need it.

Carroll credits Irvin for setting Seattle straight
JERSEY CITY, N.J. (AP) Pete Carroll said Wednesday it was the suspension of linebacker Bruce Irvin last spring that finally got the attention of the rest of the Seattle Seahawks that they needed to be taking their commitment to the team more seriously.
Seattle's past problems with drug suspensions – both performance-enhancing and substance abuse – were brought up again and Carroll was expansive, going back to Irvin's PED suspension last May as a turning point for the team.
"When that came to light, and the way Bruce addressed it and handled it with us and our football team, it set us in a new mode, in a new mentality," Carroll said. "I found that we were a very young team, with young minds, and guys that needed to formulate the plan, how it all fits together, and the best way we could do that is to gather the power that they represent us – everybody represents the Seahawks."
Born out of the situation with Irvin was the motto "Seahawks 24/7" that became a team slogan and was plastered on t-shirts worn around the locker room all season. It was a nod to Carroll's young team realizing they had to be responsible and accountable off the field as much as they are in the confines of the locker room.
"We realized that we had a tremendous commitment to what we were doing on the field, and that we needed to embrace that we needed that commitment to extend off the field as well, in all areas," Carroll said. "Like any team comes together on different issues, this was an issue, and I think Bruce was a great starter to the new mentality that we've developed, about taking care of business, about always representing, about having a conscious that never leaves us, whether we're on the field, off the field, in-season, or out of season."
Seattle drew attention in recent seasons for the number of suspensions, most of them for performance-enhancing substances. In total, seven Seattle players have been suspended for PED or substance violations since 2011. That total does not include All-Pro Richard Sherman, who was suspended late in the 2012 season but had his suspension overturned on an appeal.
Even with the new focus, the Seahawks still had problems this season. Cornerback Walter Thurmond was suspended for four games in late November for violating the substance abuse policy and cornerback Brandon Browner was given a one-year suspension for a substance abuse violation in December.
"When we've had anybody who has strayed, or had an issue, or whatever, it came to the point where we really felt compassion for the guys that couldn't hang with us in the commitment that we made," Carroll said. "So, I think it's become very strong from inside-out, from inside right in the middle of the locker room on out, and I think that we're on a really good path. I think it's a good illustration of what it takes to get everybody committed and everybody on the same page, and I think the commitment to our football and the commitment to the Seahawks is pretty clear right now."

Davey_Reno necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 22 diseños de 9 diseñadores freelance.
Hello everyone,
my name is David Castro and I'm am managing this project for the end client. I coincidentally used to work for the guy so I've been given full digression over this project which will be nice cause I won't have to play middle man! :)
People who have been in a car accident and need their cars/trucks/whatevers fixed and sparkling like new. Men, woman, elders, everybody! The shop is one of the biggest and best in the area and which also means their more expensive so don't design for the high school kid with no money.
I have provided the link to their existing website which I will rebuild after this logo is complete. The only thing you should take from that site is that they want classy, not crazy. Other then that, the old stuff is getting scrapped.
I think a little carbon fiber may do nicely for this. Maybe some brushed aluminum or even a fresh coat of paint. Your the artist. I'll be quick with feedback.
As far as fonts go, serif is fine but nothing to stylized like zapfino. He may go for the san serif look where she may not. Your choice.
He has played with the idea of making "CSS" (steve's collision center) t-shirts and other merchandise so maybe play with those letters. It could be a quick way to his heart. ;)
They've always used new cars in their logos but every couple of years, those become outdated due to new model releases. If you'd like to use a car(s), keep that in mind. My advice would be to stick with the classics.
Lastly, Steve is a muscle car die hard! He owns an old '68 Firebird and a '69 Camero SS (his favorite, something ridiculous like 700 horses :) so perhaps you may want to play with some of those elements.
Oh yeah, she hates dark websites so I'll obviously be building them a lighter/whiter one. Keep that in mind when considering contrast.
Thanks for all your hard work and good luck - David

[Update: Vin Diesel met with Marvel. Details here.]
With only one chapter of Phase Two (Iron Man 3) out of the way, Disney and Marvel Studios have begun unveiling their plans for Phase Three of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. After The Avengers 2 and Ant-Man hit theaters in 2015, there will be at least three additional Marvel franchise movies, unannounced titles officially scheduled for 2016 and 2017, with more on the way.
San Diego Comic-Con is three weeks out and Marvel is expected to host a major panel presentation for Thor: The Dark World, that will also likely include bits for Captain America: The Winter Soldier and Guardians of the Galaxy. Adding to the list of hopeful unveilings - that now includes the mysterious Phase Three film titles – are the major casting confirmations and surprise announcements. Could one of them involve a role for Vin Diesel?
Vin Diesel just told his 47 million Facebook fans that he's meeting with Marvel, joking that he doesn't know why or what for. It came as a secondary part of one of his regular Facebook photos and messages:
"P.s. Marvel has requested a meeting... no idea what for... haha, you probably know better than me..."
With the timing of this statement, Comic-Con around the corner, Fast & Furious 6 (& 7) in everyone's mind, and the fact that writer-director James Gunn is beginning to shoot Guardians of the Galaxy in London, our immediate guess would be that Marvel is looking to finalize the voice actors for their space epic. Heroes Rocket Raccoon and Groot for instance, along with the big bad villain of the universe (Thanos) will likely be (at least, partially) CG animated, along with many other of the alien characters.
How does Vin Diesel's voice (think an angrier Iron Giant) behind the grinning face of Thanos sound?
By coincidence or perhaps not at all, we're not surprised to see Diesel's name pop up with the Marvel brand. Last year in August, he stirred the rumor mill himself with his super-popular Facebook page by throwing up an image of Vision (the photo below, actually) as his profile photo before quickly taking it down. Vision is an android, a love interest of confirmed new Avengers Scarlet witch and a member of Earth's Mightiest himself.

Knowing from our sources that actors such as Benicio Del Toro were signed quite a while before the news was slipped to trade magazines, it's possible that Diesel is playing coy and is already set to play some character in the series. All we have to go on is the timing of the news and the uncast characters we know are hitting the big screen in the future.
There's an additional piece to the story that I mentioned last year and on the Screen Rant Underground podcast, but five years ago, Diesel told MTV in an interview why he hadn't gotten involved in comic book movies. His main reason is that he was "holding out," for a film where the protagonist is the villain from the Marvel universe, a role that no one had come to him yet at that point in time.
Iron Man 3 is currently in theaters, Thor: The Dark World on November 8, 2013, Captain America: The Winter Soldier on April 4, 2014, Guardians of the Galaxy on August 1, 2014, The Avengers 2 on May 1, 2015, Ant-Man on November 6, 2015, and unannounced films for May 6 2016, July 8 2016 and May 5 2017.
Let me know on Twitter @rob_keyes who Vin Diesel should play!

New payload bus
The new payload bus will be based on a multi-level tower design made from laser cut plastic disks and carbon rods used to support the structure.
Currently, the plan is to encase the frame in Styrofoam tortilla warmers, which will serve both as isolation at altitude as well as destructible landing padding.
TODO: add spacebridge logo to all images.
components of payload[edit]
APRS Data modem:website
Android G1 Phone:
Video Camera:
Video Transmitter:
Canon Still Camera: Canon Powershot SD4500 IS
Tortilla Warmer:
Proposed miniature assembly:
Onno Ring[edit]
The payload design depends on plastic planar structures to act as mount points for all payload components, as well as load-bearing points for the balloon and parachute.
To facilitate this design, Onno has designed a revolutionary new geometric shape which has been estimated to be between 100x and over 9000x stronger, lighter, and cooler than an ordinary disk of the same material and approximate size.
Onno Ring:
Balloon load bearing ring:
Standard mounting plate for cameras: Please note, this does not use the Onno ring, so it is the weakest part of the design, by approximately 900000%.
Power Supply[edit]
In the past, most equipment on the payload has been individually powered by it's own battery. This strategy has been successful in removing power as a possible single point of failure, but it has cost weight in the design. If we can design a power system which would keep critical components running while shutting down less critical systems, then the whole system should be able to run off of a single battery.
The first problem with this plan is that most of the components run off of different, incompatible voltages. To solve this, switching voltage regulators should be used to maximize efficiency.
Current design:
This design still requires cutoffs for non-critical systems, as well as battery monitoring. This system will not be ready for the next launch.

It sounds like a delectable dessert.
In fact, it's an ambitious effort to gather thorough data on all the pollutants that appear in the atmosphere over the Front Range during the summer months and prevent the metro area from meeting federal air quality standards.
The somewhat unwieldy name of this multi-agency effort, launching July 16, is the Front Range Air Pollution and Photochemistry Experiment. It's known to those participating in the effort as FRAPPÉ, and the lead agency is the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder.
Other principal collaborators include NASA, the University of Colorado's Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences, Colorado State University, the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
"Something this comprehensive, such a major campaign, has not happened in the Front Range before," said Gabriele Pfister, an atmospheric scientist for NCAR. She and NCAR's Frank Flocke are the study's two principal investigators.
Will Allison, director of the Air Pollution Control Division at the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, agreed.
"It's a significant project. It's a unique project that doesn't have many contemporaries across the country," Allison said. "It's a really unique opportunity to learn more about air quality in our region and the various complex things that contribute to our air quality."
Summer ozone levels
The price tag on FRAPPÉ is about $3.5 million, with $2 million of that coming from the state of Colorado and the balance contributed by the National Science Foundation, to fund operation and instrumentation for NCAR's C-130 aircraft, as well as education and outreach.
The nine-county northern Colorado Front Range area has struggled in recent years to stay in compliance with the federal ozone standard of 75 parts per billion, set in 2008.
"We are in what's called 'marginal non-attainment,' which is the lowest level of non-attainment," Allison said. "Depending on the monitor, it might be around 77 parts per billion. It fluctuates.
"With our hot, dry summers, we tend to see higher ozone levels because ozone is formed with a combination of air pollution and sunlight. We tend to go under in the winter — however, higher wintertime ozone levels are a somewhat new phenomenon being observed."
Pfister said meeting the federal standards requires an understanding of why the metro area is in violation of those standards.
"We need to figure out what are the factors causing the high ozone, and only if we know that can we address them and try to address the current pollution that we have," she said. "That's basically the objective of FRAPPÉ, to come to an understanding of what are all the different factors that drive the summertime ozone pollution."
Parallel NASA study
FRAPPÉ will be bolstered through being closely coordinated with a contemporaneous effort, the NASA DISCOVER-AQ project. The name stands for Deriving Information on Surface conditions from Column and Vertically Resolved Observations Relevant to Air Quality, and it is employing NASA aircraft and Earth-observing satellites to measure air quality, distinguishing between pollution high in the atmosphere and that closer to the surface where people live and breathe.
NASA launched the multi-year airborne field campaign in 2011, based at the Langley Research Center in Hampton, Va., and selected the Front Range, along with Baltimore, Houston and California's San Joaquin Valley of Central California on which to focus.
The two research efforts, FRAPPÉ and the NASA project, will both run from July 16 to Aug. 16. The Colorado effort will use existing ground-monitoring sites, vans on the streets equipped with sensors, and augment that with data collected by the C-130 aircraft. NASA will complete the pollutants picture by aircraft and satellite, and data collected will be shared between the two.
"They are two different campaigns, but the way we work it is as one campaign," Pfister said. "We work it as fully complementary."
Allison said, "These types of studies, both NASA and FRAPPÉ, allow us to expand that knowledge base to measure air quality off the ground, and at various levels of the atmosphere, and to further refine our models not only to predict air quality but also to go back in time and better understand where it is coming from — California, Asia, and what have you."
Although data will only be collected over the one-month period, Pfister joked that analyzing it will last "probably to my retirement." She is now 44.
"Typically, for a field campaign, you say up to two to three years after the campaign, this is when you produce the most results," she said. "But that doesn't mean that after that time period, you stop analyzing."

PC speaker
The computer often seems to make beep noises or other sounds at various times, whether we want them or not. They come from various sources, and as such, you may be able to configure if or when they occur. For situations where no sound card or speakers are available and a simple audio notification is desired, see #Beep.
Sounds from the computer can be heard from the built-in case speaker, the speakers, or headphones which are plugged into the soundcard (in which case the noise may be unexpectedly loud).
Disable PC Speaker
Turning off a particular instance of a sound, while leaving the others operational, is possible if and only if one can identify which portion of the environment generates the particular sound. This allows customizing the selection of sounds. Please feel free to add any configurations and settings to this wiki page that may be useful for other users.
The PC speaker can be disabled by unloading the
pcspkr kernel module:
# rmmod pcspkr
Blacklisting the
pcspkr module will prevent udev from loading it at boot:
# echo "blacklist pcspkr" > /etc/modprobe.d/nobeep.conf
Blacklisting it on the kernel command line is yet another way. Simply add
modprobe.blacklist=pcspkr to your bootloader's kernel line.
$ xset -b
You can add this command to a startup file such as
/etc/xprofile to make it permanent. See xprofile for more information.
You can add this command in
/etc/profile or a dedicated file like
setterm -blength 0
Another way is to add or uncomment this line in
/etc/inputrc or
set bell-style none
For most sound cards the PC speaker is listed as an ALSA channel, named either PC Speaker, PC Beep, or Beep. To mute the speaker, either use alsamixer or amixer:
$ amixer set channel 0% mute
To unmute the channel, see Advanced Linux Sound Architecture#Unmuting the channels.
Using GSettings:
$ gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences audible-bell false
Cinnamon seems to play a "water drop" sound. To disable it, set in dconf:
$ dconf write /org/cinnamon/desktop/wm/preferences/audible-bell false
Append this line to
gtk-error-bell = 0
Add the same line to the [Settings] section of
[Settings] gtk-error-bell = 0
This is documented in the Gnome Developer Handbook.
Beep is an advanced PC speaker beeping program. It is useful for situations where no sound card and/or speakers are available, and simple audio notification is desired.
You may also need to unmute the PC speaker in ALSA.
Access for non-root users
By default
beep will fail if not run by the root. Other users may call it using sudo. To let group
users call
sudo beep without a password (for example to use it in scripts),
/etc/sudoers should be edited:
%users ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/beep
or, to let only a single user do that:
username ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/beep
Another way is setting the sticky bit on
# chmod 4755 /usr/bin/beep
Note however that this way anyone can execute
/usr/bin/beep with root permissions. The change also creates a difference between local copy and the package, which will be reported by
pacman -Qkk.
Tips and Tricks
While many people are happy with the traditional beep sound, some may like to change its properties a bit. The following example plays slighly higher and shorter sound and repeats it two times.
# beep -f 5000 -l 50 -r 2

Being a knowledge driven process, healthcare delivery provides opportunity to incorporate knowledge management practices to improve processes. But it has also been noted that knowledge management is systematically more complex in healthcare and minimal research exist to guide academic and organizational stakeholders. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the application and impact of knowledge management practices in healthcare delivery. The paper is conceptual in its nature and aims to propose a contingency‑based framework to drive further empirical research. The paper is primarily based on a literature review of the healthcare knowledge management and associated information sciences research streams. The fundamental research questions are: ''what and how do the various knowledge management practices affect the performance of healthcare delivery?'' and ''what are the contingent and contextual factors that needs to be considered when exploring the relationship between knowledge management practices and performance of healthcare delivery?'' We first discuss facets of performance in healthcare delivery but thereafter focus on the technical and interpersonal care aspects of healthcare delivery. We investigate knowledge management practices in the areas of (i) knowledge acquisition and sharing, (ii) knowledge assimilation and application. In our paper we explore how the different knowledge management practices affect the performance of healthcare delivery through technical and interpersonal care. Thereafter we explore the factors of physician characteristic, ailment characteristics, organizational IT infrastructure and organization processes, on which the conceptual framework will be contingent on. We thereafter evaluate the conceptual framework with a case study. From an academic perspective our paper identifies some key knowledge management practices and explores their linkages with technical and interpersonal care, while from a practical point of view it provides implications for administrators and practitioners in healthcare delivery on the management of contingency factors so that the knowledge management practices can be properly implemented.
Keywords: healthcare knowledge management, healthcare delivery performance, electronic medical records, clinical decision support, evidence based medicine

On this website we provide lots of information on George Crosses and other awards given to people for bravery during wartime. Perhaps you are here because you are looking for information on the following:
george cross flag
george cross value
george cross recipients 2010
george cross heroes
george cross winners ww2
history george cross
george cross trypanosoma
george cross stanton chase
The Queen, who awards George Crosses, added that it was due, in large measure, to the courage and dedication over decades of the people of the Royal Ulster Constabulary that Northern Ireland was now a much more calm and stable place to inhabit.
Queen Elizabeth II presented the medal to Constable Paul Slaine, who took it on behalf of the RUC. Constable Slaine lost his legs when an IRA mortar bomb fell in his patrol car in Newry in March 1992, killing his colleague Constable Colleen McMurray. The party also included Constable Susan Wright as well as Assistant Chief Constable William Stewart MBE. He then paraded the medal through the ranks who had assembled there.

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) Mario Chalmers remembers the first time he gazed up to the rafters in Allen Fieldhouse and read the names on the jerseys hanging above one end.
Wilt Chamberlain. Paul Pierce. Clyde Lovellette.
He was at Late Night at the Phog, the annual celebration to kick off fall practice, during his freshman year in 2004. Chalmers read the names and imagined himself having the kind of career that might one day land his name among the pantheon of Jayhawk stars.
That day will come Feb. 16, during halftime of Kansas' game against Texas.
Chalmers, whose buzzer-beating shot helped deliver the Jayhawks the 2008 national title, will have his No. 15 raised to the rafters. It will join 27 other men and three women who have had their names enshrined in one of college basketball's historic venues.

Lee's Summit soccer coach admits videotaping young girls
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — A suburban Kansas City youth soccer coach has pleaded guilty to secretly videotaping young girls while they changed their clothes in his daughter's bedroom.
The U.S. Attorney's office says 40-year-old Joel D. White, of Lee's Summit, pleaded guilty Wednesday to three counts of attempting to produce child pornography. White remains in federal custody to await sentencing.
White coached girls' under-12 and under-15 soccer teams through the Lee's Summit Soccer Association, which cooperated in the investigation.
Prosecutors said White videotaped 11 children, ages 11 and 12, in his daughter's bedroom between May and October 2012. He also admitted recording himself touching one girl while she slept.
The investigation began when authorities in Commerce City, Colo., searched White's backpack for soccer merchandise he was suspected of stealing during a tournament there.

With warm weather now gracing much of the country, many are heading to the great outdoors to camp, hike and fish. Depending on how great these outdoors are, keeping hydrated and finding clean water sources can be paramount.
You don't want to be burdened with carrying bottles upon bottles of drinking water, but at the same time, you don't want to risk drinking water from streams, lakes and rivers, which can contain waterborne protozoa such as Giardia.
The Katadyn Exstream water bottle allows to drink such water without consuming bacteria and harmful contaminants. The bottle uses an advanced Virustat technology to kill 99.9999% of waterborne viruses. Just dip the bottle into any water source and you instantly have safe and delicious drinking water.
I know what you're thinking: doesn't that take some of the fun out of "roughing it"?
Well don't think for a second that MacGyver himself would prefer a paper clip, a piece of gum and some fishing line over this water bottle. When you're outdoors and clean drinking water is scarce, this water bottle can be a lifesaver.
Katadyn also makes a variety of pocket filters, siphons and emergency water tabs to ensure you'll be safe and hydrated when on your next camping or hiking trip..
