A 911 operator answered an emergency call and asked the caller for their name, location, nearest cross street, and phone number. The operator then asked if the victim could talk or cough, and if the caller knew the Heimlich maneuver. The operator instructed the caller to perform the Heimlich maneuver on a boy who was choking, asking if the obstruction came out after the thrusts. The operator said an ambulance would arrive soon.
An elderly woman who was very ill drove herself to the hospital instead of calling 911 for an ambulance because her phone did not have the number "eleven". While the story is funny, it demonstrates that misreading or misunderstanding something could have serious consequences in an emergency situation.
A landline phone is important to have for emergencies at home because it allows 911 dispatchers to immediately track your address location. A mobile phone only provides an approximate location based on nearby cell towers. Some emergencies at home, like a fire or medical emergency, require just dialing 911 and not taking the time to talk. Keeping a landline ensures emergency responders can quickly find your location without needing to be told an address. It is important to know the addresses of important locations in case of emergency and ensure those places have landlines as well.
Stay safe with your landline. While cell phones are convenient. Add a source of protection with your landline. This safety message brought to you by: Multiline Long Distance.

The Shocking Truth About Cops And DefibrillationDavid Hiltz
This document summarizes the results of a survey of law enforcement agencies in Massachusetts regarding their use of automated external defibrillators (AEDs). The key findings were that over 90% of responding agencies had AEDs, with the most common reasons being to respond quickly to medical emergencies and save lives. While most agencies encountered no issues, financial costs and union negotiations were sometimes obstacles. The majority of officers had not used AEDs but about 20% reported saves when they did use them. Overall attitudes towards AED programs were very positive.

It is still missing! Could the search for the missing Malaysia Airlines plane have gone much faster? I think this will become the "Natalee Holloway" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disappearance_of_Natalee_Holloway) of air disasters - lots of breathless reports, ‘breaking news’ of no consequence coupled with gobs of bad science & bizarre theories - and no jet found!
It will be quite by accident that a pieces of debris wash-up that can once & for all confirm that it did indeed crashed -- but the bulk of the wreckage is probably entombed in 15000 feet of Indian Ocean water--never to be found. As a growing number of airplanes scoured the southern Indian Ocean in the search for Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, authorities released new details that paint a different picture of what may have happened in the plane's cockpit.
Military radar tracking shows that the aircraft changed altitude after making a sharp turn over the South China Sea as it headed toward the Strait of Malacca, a source close to the investigation into the missing flight told CNN. The plane flew as low as 12,000 feet at some point before it disappeared from radar, according to the source. And imagine that each neighboring country very aggressively monitors not only its own air-space but that of all the countries it shares boundaries of its air-space and not a bird should ideally fly without their coming to know of it. The mystery deepens on each passing days and yet there is no trace of ill-fated flight!

Adjusting Your Security Controls: It’s the New NormalPriyanka Aash
Most of us learned cybersecurity practices based on the application of controls that were part of a framework. Once the framework was implemented then the controls didn’t change often. It’s time to adjust our thinking and recognize that on-going adjustment of controls may be a better indicator of cyber-maturity than adherence to any framework.

Using semantics to analyze body camera video could help law enforcement agencies better manage the large amounts of video data. The semantic analysis can extract text, metadata and identify key ideas and words to allow agencies to more easily search and query large volumes of video. However, fully realizing this solution will require integrating multiple systems for video storage, semantic analysis, and query capabilities to address challenges such as privacy regulations and budget constraints across different jurisdictions.
Here is a 516-word reflection on business management:
When I first started my business management degree, I had a very narrow view of what business was about. I thought it was just about numbers, profits, and the bottom line. However, as I've progressed through the program and had real-world work experiences, my perspective has changed dramatically. I now have a much richer understanding of business as a complex social system involving people, relationships, culture and ethics.
Some of the key things I've learned are around people management. Early on, I didn't fully appreciate the human aspects of organizations and how critical managing employees effectively is to success. I've come to see that business is as much about managing relationships as it is

Response-Ability
More Arrests, Greater Safety, Lower Costs
By Keith Jentoft, RSI Alarms Technologies, Inc.

Encouraging video alarm systems by updating dispatch
policy is making sheriffs more efficient and delivering more
arrests. New generations of video intrusion alarms are changing
the way sheriffs respond to alarm calls. For those not familiar
with the term, Enhanced Video Alarm is a generic category
where the alarm system delivers a short video clip to the central
station which confirms the presence of an intruder. This is
not surveillance, but an incremental step in the detect/notify
process that alarm companies have been doing for decades. The
enhancement is that in addition to the standard alarm signal,
the central station operator sees a video of what caused the
alarm and calls the 911 Dispatch Center as a virtual eyewitness.
These new alarms are available from many manufacturers using
at least three different technologies to deliver compelling results
in terms of arrests.
Video alarms made national news this year when CBS
