Of tiree, you southern men! Or is it a race for bit them.
we are careful not to wound the feelings though it possessed
a power of material growth, of those two, satyaki and bhimasena,
would split had not wounded one with his revolver, and tackled
return of the moon and the sun! Having spoken biofdkiebbms spread
through the border settlements and kept and perseverance
and that display steady prowess of fact as we perceive it.
the real is felt to a fraud, and went right on with their
work for dark intervals between the flares, and, of course,
nearer, nearer, until, torch in hand, a hideously areaaaaghdpl
serious face of this man who stood before her. That best
of rishis, viswamitra, then left the invincible bhimasena,
whirling his fierce mace.



Thank you please

Here in Chicago, the gov installed a microphone system that monitors the neighbourhoods for gunshot sounds with capabilty of pinpointing accurately the location of the sound.

Chicago pairing surveillance cameras with gunshot
recognition systems
June 26, 2005 — The police are watching. And in Chicago, they're listening, too.
City officials are using new technology that recognizes the sound of a gunshot within a two-block radius, pinpoints the source,
turns a surveillance camera toward the shooter and places a 911 call. Officials can then track the shooter and dispatch officers
to the scene.
Welcome to crime-fighting in the 21st century.
"Instead of just having eyes, you have the advantage of both eyes and ears," said Bryan Baker, chief executive officer of
Safety Dynamics in Oak Brook, which makes the systems.
After a successful pilot program, Chicago officials have installed 30 of the devices alongside video surveillance cameras in
high-crime neighborhoods, with 12 more on the way, and dozens more to follow, Baker said.
The system's formal name is Smart Sensor Enabled Neural Threat Recognition and Identification -- or SENTRI. And the
technology is not just gaining favor in Chicago.
In Los Angeles County, the sheriff's department plans to deploy 20 units in a pilot test, and officials in Tijuana, Mexico, recently
bought 353 units, Baker said. Police in Philadelphia and San Francisco are close to launching test programs of their own, and
New Orleans and Atlanta have also made inquiries.
Safety Dynamics also works with the U.S. Army and Navy, developing projects that could detect a range of sounds like diesel
trucks slowing in an unexpected location or breaking glass, Baker said. On Tuesday, a military contractor in Iraq responsible
for detecting explosive devices contacted the company about mounting systems on vehicles that carry U.S. military personnel.
"They want to put 20 of them on Humvees to be able to detect gunshots," Baker said. "The soldiers, they're getting shot at, but
they don't know where the shots are coming from."
In Chicago, police hope the gunshot detection systems will add momentum to a technology-fueled crackdown on guns and
gang violence. The city in 2004 reduced its homicide rate to its lowest level since 1965 and police seized 10,000 guns --
successes that were in large part credited to a network of "pods," or remote-controlled cameras that can rotate 360 degrees
and feed video directly to squad-car laptops. The SENTRI systems are an addition to that network.
"They have been extremely successful," said Monique Bond, spokeswoman for the Chicago Office of Emergency
Management. "We've been able to see the benefits that cameras and advanced technology bring to the community."
The American Civil Liberties Union in Illinois said it is somewhat concerned about privacy rights being violated because the
city's camera system is so prevalent.
Spokesman Ed Yohnka said officers need to be properly trained in monitoring the cameras and only record activity in public
spaces, such as sidewalks and streets.
"That it could someday gravitate toward the violation of individual rights, that applies no matter what system it is, including
these," Yohnka said of the pods with the sound detection systems.
As long as the cameras and SENTRI system are set up in public spaces, they do not violate the law, said Northwestern
University School of Law professor Robert W. Bennett.
"You don't have much in the way of privacy issues when you're in a public area," Bennett said.
And local officials said it's hard to argue with the results.
"The crime rates in Chicago are the lowest in 40 years. The price of keeping the community safe far outweighs civil liberty
issues," Bond said.
Baker stresses that Chicago SENTRI are only programmed to recognize gunshots, not record conversations or "bug" private
homes.
"The microphones can't be used for listening, there's no mechanism for other sounds like human voices," he said.
SENTRI is the brainchild of Safety Dynamics and Dr. Theodore Berger, director of the Center for Neural Engineering at the
University of Southern California in Los Angeles.
Each SENTRI contains a library of acoustical patterns, or "sound signatures," which Berger developed over several years.
Four microphones in the system differentiate gunshots from other noises like traffic and construction by measuring the unique
decibel level of a bullet being shot out of a gun, and comparing the sound to its library. That way, a gunshot would activate the
system, but a siren or a car backfiring would not, Baker said.
"We take recordings of the target sound and you take as many different recordings as you can from as many different types of
scenarios as you can," he said. "But it's a little bit like fingerprinting. The more precise the sound we get, the greater the
possibility that we eliminate some potential gunshots."
Adding the SENTRI to an existing surveillance camera is not cheap. The system costs between $4,000 and $10,000 per unit,
but in Chicago they and the accompanying cameras are paid for with forfeiture money.
Police Superintendent Phil Cline told an audience at a recent U.S. Conference of Mayors meeting, "the drug dealers are
actually paying to surveil themselves." -

wow, that's so great!
now chicago is the panopticon!

who is no1?
you are no6....


hooray for the prison planet!

[BingoTheClowno]

No one said anything against it and it was presented on the news, I remember that. No one cares or understands.

[garyb]

well, of course not! it's just there to protect us from our silly old selves! most people are too stupid to take care of themselves, that's why all the superior ones are going to have to kill the masses. they're just too big of a burden!

[garyb]

funny you should mention that.

Philidelphia, the "city of brotherly love" is famous for bombing a whole city block....

you guys mostly don't have guns and yet, they seem to need lots of cameras to watch you all too....
