Game Called Due to Hole

Alcoa High was leading Fulton High in last night’s football game in Knoxville, Tennessee when the game had to called due to the ground opening up and trying to swallow the players.
With Alcoa leading 20-7, a sinkhole opened up near the stands-side sideline at the 41-yard line on the west side of the still-drenched field with 6:33 left to play in the fourth quarter. The field was declared unplayable and play was suspended for the night. The remaining minutes of the game will be played at Alcoa High School's Goddard Field at 5 p.m. today. Admission is free.

@Aetherfax - That's right, but perhaps not location (for example, touching with one finger has the same capacitive profile in the front of the object as the back. Or perhaps I'm wrong.

@John and @Juegosquo

I know nothing about this particular technology, but if it's using capacitive sensing, it means it's measuring how much electricity is conducting along something. This can be altered if you touch it, because our skin is slightly conduction due to the salts in our tissue fluid. This alters the conductivity of the surface, which is picked up by the sensors.

"Dear Allied Insurance customer,

Biometric data from your household indicates that you are not active enough and sensors have automatically reclassified you as Sedentary. In accordance with this change, your monthly insurance rates will now be raised by 40 percent.

Should sensors register Active househould readings for a period of six months, your rate will return to normal."

Regards,
