“Our goals [are] to be the best we can for our tenant commands; we don’t want [Soldiers] to worry about quality of life so that they can focus on their mission,” said U.S. Navy Capt. Bill Finn, commanding officer of Camp Lemonnier,…

Thieves are targeting cameras

0 Comments | Deseret News (Salt Lake City), Oct 30, 2009 | by Pat Reavy Deseret News

Heidi Walker had an uneasy feeling something wasn’t right.

Walker, a professional photographer with Heidi Photography, had just finished shooting a wedding at Temple Square when she sensed she was being watched as she walked back to her car.

She drove off and stopped at a downtown business for 10 minutes to buy supplies. She left her camera equipment out of sight inside her car and locked her doors. Later that night, when she went to shoot the reception, she realized her camera, her laptop and all her equipment — totaling about $20,000 — was gone.

“Your mind kind of starts to play tricks on you. ‘Where did it go? Did I leave it on the sidewalk at the temple?’ I was looking under my car, on the ground. You can’t grasp the concept it can be gone,” Walker said. “My livelihood is the photography income and to have it pulled out from under you in a matter of minutes … .”

Salt Lake police say Walker’s stolen equipment on Wednesday was the latest in a rash of high-end camera equipment burglaries over the past couple of months, mainly affecting professional photographers working in the area around Temple Square. And investigators fear the problem could get worse as the holiday season gets closer.

At least five to eight people have had camera equipment stolen. The majority of victims were people who were taking pictures at Temple Square just prior to being robbed, said Salt Lake Police Sgt. Robin Snyder. At least one other incident was a few blocks away at The Gateway.

The other photographer who was shooting with Walker that day said he, too, noticed someone following him and thought he seemed to be paying close attention to his camera bag and his vehicle. When he stopped a short time later for lunch, he felt so uneasy that he took his equipment inside the restaurant with him.

Walker said a friend has loaned her a camera until she can raise the money to buy a new one so she can continue working. But what hurt even more was the loss of her laptop and her hard drives.

“All the images that I’ve ever had are gone,” she said. “The cameras can be replaced. But the images are gone.”

Skip Huntress, with Huntress Photography, had his $6,000 camera stolen out of landscape photography the trunk of his car in September.

“What I realized is that I had been followed,” he said.

After shooting a wedding at Temple Square, Huntress put his camera bag in his trunk and drove to 700 South and 300 West and went inside a photography business for about 10 minutes

Holiday weight-loss secrets

Holiday weight-loss secrets

Natural Health, Nov, 2009 by Daniel Mazori

NEW RESEARCH suggests these antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals can help you drop pounds this food-filled holiday season–and beyond.

* CALCIUM & VITAMIN D This mineral-vitamin combo can curb fat cravings and quadruple your weight loss results if, as many people are, you’re calcium-deficient, according to a 2009 British Journal of Nutrition study.

How to get it Consume at least 1,000 mg of calcium daffy if you’re under 50 (1,200 mg if you’re older) and ask your doctor for a vitamin D blood test. Consider taking Caltrate 600 D ($8.50 for 60 tablets; at drugstores nationwide).

* WHITE TEA Antioxidants in white tea stimulate the breakdown of fat cells that contribute to cellulite, a 2009 study in Nutrition & Metabolism reports.

How to get it Drink a cup or two of white tea like Tazo Cucumber White ($4; quick ways to lose weight at Whole Foods Market and Target stores nationwide) every day.

* TURMERIC The main antioxidant in turmeric–curcumin–may help your body burn fat instead of storing it. Mice that ate curcumin gained half as much total body fat as those that didn’t, according to a 2009 study in The Journal of Nutrition.

How to get it In addition to cooking with turmeric more often, take New Chapter Turmericforce ($28 for 60 softgels; newchapter.com for stores) or make a tea with Mountain Rose Herbs Organic Turmeric Root Powder ($5 for 1 lb.; mountainroseherbs.com).

Home Service to Offer Water Service Line Protection Plan to Select Homeowners in the Boston Area

Home Service to Offer Water Service Line Protection Plan to Select Homeowners in the Boston Area

PR Newswire, Oct 26, 2009

HOMEOWNERS CAN NOW SEEK RELIEF FROM HIGH HOME REPAIR COSTS

MIAMI, Oct. 26 /PRNewswire/ — Home Service, a leading provider of home emergency repair programs with hundreds of thousands of policies in place, is doing their share to keep homeowners protected. Previously reaching customers through partner utility companies, Home Service today announced that they will be offering their protection program directly to select area homeowners.

The water service line is the pipe that brings freshwater into a home and is the homeowner’s responsibility to maintain it. On most properties, this line starts from the curb or well casing of the property and goes all the way into the home connecting to the water heater, sinks, showers and more. Temperature changes, shifting soil or the age of the line can all be causes of damage. Many times this will result in a loss of water pressure or a loss of water altogether for cooking, bathing and other carpet shampooer household needs. In other instances, effects will not be noticed until there is a spike in the water bill due to leakage under the yard.

Accredited by the Better Business Bureau, Home Service is able to offer emergency solutions that protect homeowners from the hassle and expense of unexpected repairs. “Emergencies do happen and unfortunately, there’s very little someone can do to prepare for them,” says Jonathan King, Chief Executive Officer of Home Service

Multimedia Content From Nbc News Added To Blackboard Platform

Multimedia Content From Nbc News Added To Blackboard Platform

Telephone IP News, Nov 1, 2009

Blackboard Inc., a global leader in education technology, has announced that a wealth of multimedia content from NBC News – covering decades of historic and current events – is now accessible to educators and students through the Blackboard Learn(TM) platform.

Through a partnership with NBC Learn, the educational arm of NBC News, thousands of K-12 and postsecondary institutions in North America now have access to NBC News Archives on Demand, enabling them to more effectively engage 21st century learners with digital content directly in their online courses.

With this unique resource, educators can easily search for instructionally relevant content about real world events – including audio, text and short-form video files – that can be embedded directly into courses on the Blackboard system to enrich the learning experience in a wide variety of subject areas.

As a result, educators can complement courses and lectures with historical and up online mba to the minute video clips and other content on topics ranging from politics, the economy and climate change to health issues related to pandemic preparedness including the H1N1 influenza. Students get to participate in a much richer and more engaging course experience and can use the content and resources to support their own research, project work and presentations.

“I’m using the archives to help students place what they are learning in a real world context,” said Mark Rains, an associate professor at the University of South Florida. “Very few of my hydrogeology students will go on to practice hydrogeology, but they will all live in a world in which the limited availability of water triggers a range of environmental and social implications. We read and hear about these problems in the media, but few really understand how to connect that news to the underlying principles of their academic work. I previously struggled to bring real time, real world content into the classroom and I’m hoping the NBC Learn Archives can help change that.”

“We are excited to offer these exceptionally rich multimedia resources for the benefit of educators, students, and lifelong learners,” said Ray Henderson, president of Blackboard Learn. “NBC’s brand as a news authority combined with the superb production values of their footage will help educators craft richer and more contextually relevant courses for their students. Providing access to NBC News Archives on Demand is an important step in our strategy to assemble the world’s best digital content for the Blackboard community.”

In addition to regularly updated audio and video files of news events throughout history, NBC’s digital content includes primary source documents, photos, articles, transcripts, analysis, and mini-documentaries that can be used to support instruction in a wide range of subject areas.

“By making the rich resources of NBC News available to educators and students, we are taking another step to bring the digital age and today’s interactive media culture to the classroom,” said Lisa Gersh, president of NBC News Strategic Initiatives
