Brazil Prepares for the UN Rio+20 Conference in June (REPORT)
By Sarah de Sainte Croix, Senior Contributing Reporter, The Rio Times
(RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL) - Twenty years after the inaugural 1992 United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development – the Earth Summit - was held in Rio, the city will once again play host to the event. Now Rio is gearing up for the "Rio+20" (June 20th to 22nd), and on March 9th Conference Secretary-General, Sha Zukang was in Brazil to discuss the logistics with Environment Minister, Izabella Teixeira.
The organizers are expecting representatives from 193 member states to attend, from governments, the private sector, NGOs and other stakeholders.
The Brazilian Rio+20 Commission, which was set up in 2011, is responsible for coordinating the hosting of the event. The conference itself is an intergovernmental process, directed by United Nations Member States and overseen by the UN.
The debates will focus on two principle themes: the green economy in the context of sustainable development and poverty eradication; and the institutional framework for sustainable development, which will look at ways to strengthen the effectiveness of global sustainability resolutions.
According to the organizers, its objective is to renew political commitment to sustainable development, by assessing the progress made on the goals set at previous major summits – including the 1992 Earth Summit and the 2002 Johannesburg Summit – and identifying gaps in implementation.
On March 9th, Teixeira said the elections in other countries should not hinder the presence of heads of state at Rio+20, stating that 79 delegations have confirmed their presence so far. She also reinforced that the goal of the conference is to come up with concrete decisions, and not just to debate. "[Rio+20] is a conference for stamping documents and saying that we approve."
The organizers say, "[It] should help define the sustainable development agenda for the coming decades."
The event will be built up in three stages, the first of which runs from June 13th to 15th,in advance of the official conference dates. This will be a Meeting of the Preparatory Committee to unite government representatives from around the world and negotiate the documents to be adopted at the Conference.
During the second stage, from June 16th to 19th, a series of events has been scheduled for the participation of civil society. So called "major groups" who are registered with the UN, are invited to take part, including: non-governmental organizations, business groups, indigenous communities, local authorities, community groups, and the scientific and technological community, as well as individuals.
The third and final stage is the High Level Segment of the Conference, scheduled for June 20th to 22nd, in which Heads of State and Government of various United Nations member countries will meet to agree on the conference outcomes.
Riocentro conference center, in Barra da Tijuca, will host the intergovernmental agenda and other event locations have yet to be decided. The Sub-Secretary General for Energy and Technology at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Luiz Alberto Figueiredo, said at a public hearing at the beginning of the month that, "The conference itself is extraordinarily complex [to coordinate]."
However, he considers the event an important demonstration of Brazil's commitment to being a key player in solving world issues, saying – "It is a renewal of our commitment to multilateralism as a legitimate way of solving global problems."

"The Regime Cares Nothing about Human Rights"
The events following the recent presidential elections in Iran are sometimes called a "white coup d'état". However, the number of the injured and dead now make continued use of this term impossible.
The election fraud occurred with such haste, reported the British newspaper "The Guardian", itself citing a politically moderate Iranian newspaper, that voter participation at the polls was more than 100 percent in over 30 cities, and in some cities more than 130 percent.
According to the Iranian constitution, the Supreme Leader can confirm the results of the presidential election only three days after the results are declared. The aim of this statute is to allow time for any complaints about irregularities to be filed.
Policy of disinformation
However, according to information provided by Mohsen Makhmalbaf, a well-known director who works for Mir-Hossein Mousavi, the Interior Minister notified Mousavi a few hours after the polls had closed that he had won the election.
He was told that Khamenei had accepted the results and asked him to prepare a suitable speech. At the same time he was asked to wait a few hours before delivering his speech to the public.
All this happened before the Revolutionary Guard stormed into Mousavi's headquarters and informed everyone there that their green democratic revolution was over.
Many questions remain open. Why is Rafsanjani – a very prominent politician as well as the mastermind behind the rise of Khamenei after the death of Ayatollah Khomeini – now being openly attacked for the first time and accused of corruption by Ahmadinejad, who has Khamenei's unconditional support?
And why has the newspaper "Keyhan", Khamenei's mouthpiece, also attacked Rafsanjani, threatening to charge him with serious misuse of power and extortion against the regime?
In response to the corruption charges Rafsanjani wrote an open letter to Khamenei, in which he indirectly discloses Khamenei's decision to conjure an Ahmadinejad victory out of the polls. Khamenei ignored the warning and led the coup d'état.
A "political volcano"
There are more inconsistencies. For instance, 15 days before the election, the regime allowed the people to express themselves politically in public for the first time in 28 years. Young people in particular took advantage of this opportunity not only to celebrate joyously, but also to show their anger at the regime. During this time not one demonstrator was attacked.
It is also not clear why the regime tolerated this political arena before the elections, but then turned the public debate between the candidates into a "political volcano", in which every candidate disclosed the corruption of the others, especially Rafsanjani, in order to then – via massive voter fraud – take everything away.
This raises the question of why Khamenei so openly and brutally violated the constitution by confirming the election results on the same day and calling it a "divine assessment" of Ahmadinejad's victory.
With his premature, unconstitutional confirmation of the election results he underscored his role in this coup. Perhaps he believed that the defeated candidates would not dare to call the results into question after he had confirmed the winner.
There are two explanations for this step, and both point to a leadership struggle. The first possibility is that Khamenei is ill. Rumours to this effect have intensified. If this is the case, then Khamenei's followers, who have enjoyed their advancement, must resolve the question of his successor while Khamenei is still alive.
In the service of Mesbah Yazdi
There are powerful forces behind Khamenei who want to make Khamenei's son Mojtaba the future supreme leader of Iran. Therefore they must weaken every viable opposition to their plan.
Whether an individual or an organisation – those who stand in the way of this goal must be removed. But to do this they need Ahmadinejad as president.
Ahmadinejad attained the office of president due to the influence of Ali Khamenei and is thus completely under his control. However, they must also control the leading members of the judiciary and the legislature in order to safeguard their claim to power.
Consequently, Rafsanjani must be weakened or removed. He is the chairman of the Assembly of Experts – the only council that can control or dismiss the supreme leader – and the Expediency Discernment Council, which resolves legislative conflicts.
Both institutions could prevent Mojtaba from becoming Khamenei's successor. Mojtaba's guru is Mesbah Yazdi, well known for his opposition to all republican elements in the regime. Mojtaba is presently in charge of the Khamenei family's businesses.
He has demanded that Ahmadinejad be re-appointed, and has thus on a grand scale become his father's accomplice in this election fraud.
If the rumours about Khamenei's bad health are not true, there is a second possibility. This is that Khamenei, in the event of Mousavi's electoral victory, would have to refrain from repeatedly intervening in the country's politics.
On the one hand, this harkens back to the turbulent history between Khamenei and Mousavi, when the former was president and the latter prime minister, and, on the other hand, to the high expectations that Mousavi has awakened in the people.
Strategies against the enemies of the regime
The initiators of the election fraud had a strong interest in getting as many people to the polls as possible in order to show that they have the support of the majority of Iranians and that the regime is legitimate.
They had to prove this legitimacy, and thus opened up the political sphere, allowed Mousavi's candidacy, and invited many politicians to participate. This was also the reason why the other candidates were able to hold assemblies without being attacked by the regime's guards. In this they were deeply mistaken.
After the elections Khamenei's goals consisted mainly of
Here the regime has miscalculated one factor: The people. It believed it could manipulate the people and then shove them aside; yes, even revile the people as mere hooligans, as Ahmadinejad called the demonstrators in the first few days of the protests.
Yet it remains to be seen where these protests, which increasingly express anger and disappointment at a regime that cares nothing about human rights, will ultimately lead.

The Azure Code Samples are currently available in English
CoderCards - trading card generator
CoderCards is a geek trading card generator. It uses Microsoft Cognitive Services to detect the predominant emotion in a face, which is used to choose a card back.
The sample demonstrates the following features - C# attributes and Visual Studio 2017 tooling - Functions backing a SPA, hosted in Azure Storage - Azure Functions proxies to customize the site index.html
There's also a C# script version of this sample: CoderCards.
To build the functions project, use Visual Studio 15.3 Preview and the Azure Functions Tooling VSIX.
To run the setup script, install the Azure CLI.
About the sample
- There are two functions defined in this project:
- RequestImageProcessing. HTTP trigger that writes a queue message. The request payload must be in the following form:
"PersonName": "Scott Guthrie",
"Title": "Red Polo Connoisseur",
"BlobName": "Scott Guthrie-Red Polo Connoisseur.jpg"
GenerateCard. Queue trigger that binds to the blob specified in the BlobName property of the queue payload. Based on the predominant emotion of the input image, it generates a card using one of 4 card templates.
- The card is written to the output blob container specified by the app setting
- The card is written to the output blob container specified by the app setting
Here's a visualization of the bindings, using the Azure Functions Bindings Visualizer:
Setup script
Use the Python setup script setup.py. This uses the Azure CLI 2.0 to automate the storage account setup. Run the following commands:
az login
python setup.py storage-account resource-group true
This will modify the file local.settings.json. The last argument controls whether to create containers prefixed with "local".
Alternatively, you can run the script from the Azure Cloud Shell in the Azure Portal. Just run
python and paste the script. The script prints out settings values that you can use to manually modify
Required App Settings
|Storage account connection string
|Key for Cognitive Services Emotion API
|Name of Storage queue for to trigger card generation. Use a value like "local-queue" locally and "input-queue" on Azure
|Name of Storage container for input images. Use a value like "local-card-input" locally and "card-input" on Azure
|Name of Storage container for output images. Use a value like "local-card-output" locally and "card-output" on Azure
|Set to
http://localhost:7071 locally. Not required on Azure.
|URL of storage account, in the form
|SAS token for uploading to input-container. Include the "?" prefix.
If you want to set these values in Azure, you can set them in local.settings.json and use the Azure Functions Core Tools to publish to Azure.
python setup.py storage-account resource-group false
func azure functionapp publish function-app-name --publish-app-settings
Local debugging in Visual Studio
If you're using Visual Studio 2017 Update 3 and the Azure Functions Tools VSIX, open the project CoderCards.csproj. F5 will automatically launch the Azure Functions Core tools.
The project has a custom launchSettings.json that passes these arguments to the Functions Core Tools:
host start --cors * --pause-on-error.
Running the demo
Running using the provided SPA webpage
Make sure the functions host is running locally via Visual Studio or the Azure Functions Core Tools.
In a command prompt, go to the
CoderCardsClient directory.
- Run
npm install
- Run
npm start. This will launch a webpage at
http://127.0.0.1:8080/. Navigate instead to
Running manually
- Choose images that are square and upload to the
card-inputcontainer. (Images that aren't square will be stretched.)
Send an HTTP request using Postman or CURL, specifying the path of the blob you just uploaded:
{ "PersonName": "My Name", "Title": "My Title", "BlobName": "BlobFilename.jpg" }
The demo uses System.Drawing, which is NOT recommended for production apps. To learn more, see 5 Reasons You Should Stop Using System.Drawing from ASP.NET.
Happy faces get a multiplier of 4, angry gets a multiplier of 2. I encourage you to tweak for maximum comedic effect!
Talking points about Azure Functions
Creating an HTTP trigger that writes a queue message is just one line of code!
Using a queue message to trigger blob processing is preferable to a blob trigger, as it is easier to ensure transactional processing. Blob triggers can be delayed for up to 10 minutes on the Consumption plan
By binding to a POCO, you can use the payload of a trigger to configure an input binding. In this example, we binding to the
BlobNameproperty in the queue message.
The input binding is just a byte array, which makes it easy to manipulate with memory streams (no need to create new ones). Other binding types for C# are Stream, CloudBlockBlob, etc, which is very flexible. The output binding is just a stream that you just write to.
Next steps

I'm having all of the soffits, fascias & guttering replaced along with cladding to the sides of upstairs dormer windows. The upstairs windows look like this picture:
The guy doing the work started by removing all of the old wooden soffits & fascias as well as the cladding to the sides of the dormers. He has put all new soffits, Fascias & Guttering on the main roof line but has left the sides of the dormers open.
There has been a delay with some materials and he has said he will be back next Wednesday/Thursday (that's approx. a week from now for future reference) to complete the job. I should stress that I'm not worried about this being a "builder never returns" problem, I have 100% confidence that the work will be completed.
What I am worried about is the sides of 4 large dormers being open to the element for a week with heavy rain forecast! Should I be worried? Should they be covered by plastic (tarp) or perhaps temporarily boarded up? The builder doesn't seem overly concerned but I am.

'The Leviathan Effect' disappoints
"The Leviathan Effect" (Soho), by James Lilliefors
James Lilliefors ponders weather manipulation and its potential use as a weapon in his new thriller, "The Leviathan Effect."
Homeland Security Secretary Catherine Blaine receives a frightening email from a person named Janus warning her that three recent "natural disasters" - a tsunami, a hurricane and an earthquake - were manufactured. The email says that unless Blaine agrees to a series of demands, the next catastrophic event will hit the United States - and devastate the country.
As she works with the president and his Cabinet to neutralize the threat, a storm begins to brew off the East Coast.
Lilliefors sells the idea of weather manipulation as a realistic concept, but the rest of the novel suffers from a lack of interesting characters. If you don't care what happens to the people involved, why worry about whether they're going to be able to avert disaster? A subplot involving the murder of several scientists feels like an afterthought. And the ambiguous ending doesn't help much either.

A who's-who of Denver dance companies will take over the Newman Center for the Performing Arts on May 14 to raise cash for the tsunami-stricken people of Japan.
The "Kizuna: Dance for Japan" concert at the University of Denver will feature a rare mix of Denver dance talent, including principal dancers from the Colorado Ballet, Ballet Nouveau Colorado, David Taylor Dance Theatre and members of Cleo Parker Robinson Dance, Delusions of Grandeur Productions and others.
The lion's share of each $25 ticket, or about $22.50, will go directly to the Red Cross.
"We actually had a show at the Newman Center that day," said Rob Kuykendall, whose Greenwood Village-based Denver Academy of Ballet organized the benefit. "And my father's really involved with the Red Cross — he's actually flooded-in at a shelter right now helping take care of people in Indiana."

If you've followed along with our 409 build (June, July '07), you've seen a forgotten W-motor get a new lease on life. The engine's mysterious past and flawless short-block encouraged us to retain the rotating assembly, and update the top end of the engine, as well as the valvetrain. So far, the progress has been smooth and steady, with few hiccups along the way.
Without question, a 409 engine build has some peculiar details, and we hope we've covered most of them in parts 1 and 2 to prevent any hard times if you plan to tackle a similar project. This month, we're putting the finishing touches on the 409, and putting it through the wringer on the dyno.
To button up this W-motor, we opted for dual quads, because it only seems natural on a high-performance 409. We used Edelbrock's Performer RPM large-port intake manifold and a pair of Edelbrock Thunder Series (1803 and 1804) carburetors. Coming in at 500 cfm each, the dual four-barrels provide plenty of fuel for the thirsty 409, which utilizes a 110-gallon-per-hour mechanical fuel pump.
During the finishing stages of the build, we also install a Pertronix Flame-Thrower "Plug N Play" billet distributor, which is an easy solution for updating the engine to electronic ignition. The small-body distributor doesn't take away from the old-school looks of our 409, but the electronic module certainly outperforms the original points-style ignition system. One of the cool features of the Pertronix distributor is a built-in rev limiter, which will be set to 6,000 rpm to keep our engine alive and well. We also used a Pertronix Flame-Thrower III coil and a set of Pertronix 8mm plug wires. Edelbrock suggests RC12YC spark plugs for use in its Performer RPM cylinder heads, so that's exactly what we used.
Once all of the vital details were completed, we finished off the engine with Edelbrock Classic Series finned aluminum accessories in the new satin finish, for the raw, as-cast look. An Edelbrock aluminum water pump keeps the engine cool, at half the weight of the original cast-iron pump.
The final, and most intimidating, step of the entire build was the dyno session. Taking a brand-new engine and putting it through its paces can be unnerving, especially when you consider the volatile nature of the 409. It's a short stroke engine that really wants to rev, but the heavy pistons can wreak havoc if the connecting rods aren't up to the task. So we kept the engine below 6,000 rpm on the dyno to prevent carnage.
The end results were very pleasing, as the 409 screamed to its peak horsepower figures at 5,800 rpm. It cranked out 504.8 hp at 5,800 rpm and 515.3 lb-ft of torque at 4,500 rpm on the dyno at Hixson Motorsports in Soddy Daisy, Tennessee. Hixson Motorsports builds cars for the ARCA racing series, so owner Wayne Hixson was very particular about the dyno setup. He provided the fuel (Sunoco 260 GTX), as any traces of other fuel in one of his engines could result in a fine or disqualification. With an octane level of around 100, the racing fuel allowed us to get a little more aggressive with our ignition timing, and we also had the advantage of Hixson's fresh air duct, which replicates the cowl pressure experienced when one of his racecars is at speed. Our dyno pulls were a maximum effort for our combination, but we can expect this engine to make around 470 hp on pump gas and a standard timing tune-up of 34 degrees.
Originally, this 409 would've been rated at 425 hp, so we made substantial gains without any fancy machine work or exotic parts. We simply bolted a fresh top end onto a mostly stock bottom end, and added a hydraulic roller camshaft and an upgraded ignition system. We also need to give some credit to the exhaust, as we ditched the original manifolds in favor of Hooker Super Comp full-length headers (PN 2171HKR). With 17/8-inch primary tubes and 3-inch collectors, the headers let the 409 breathe easily, and it sang quite a tune at 5,800 rpm.
With the engine and testing complete, it makes for a great story when you consider these components went through this same sort of abuse in a drag car 50 years ago. The fact that the old engine can still scream after all those years of neglect is part of the cool factor of our mysterious barn-find 409, but it wouldn't be possible without the companies that do the research and make these updates simple and effective. And while many 409 builders would've abandoned the original parts and given this engine the stroker treatment in an effort to make more horsepower, we're happy with our 505 horses, and happy it survived the dyno thrash session. Now this 409 is ready for the street or the track. The real question is, what are we going to put it in?
1. Before we install the intake manifold, we must first install the baffle, which is included in the kit. This baffle is held in place with three rivets, which are hammered into three bosses in the intake. The rivets are a tight fit, but it doesn't hurt to use a few drops of red Loctite for extra assurance.
2. Edelbrock offers high-performance intake gaskets but suggests using a bead of high-temperature silicone on the front and rear surfaces where the intake meets the block.
3. After allowing the silicone to tack up, the Performer RPM dual-quad intake was lowered into place. We tried our best to align the boltholes without disturbing the silicone in the process.
4. Once again, we're dealing with wet boltholes, so we used ARP thread sealer on all of the intake bolts just to be safe. The intake is held in place with 16 stainless steel ARP fasteners.
5. Starting in the middle, and working our way out in a clockwise pattern, we tighten the intake manifold. After all of the bolts are snugged down, we tighten the bolts to 30 lb-ft of torque.
6. Now we can drop in the Pertronix Flame-Thrower billet distributor, which features an Ignitor III module. Out of the box, this distributor is set up to provide 24 degrees of timing by 3,500 rpm, so setting our initial timing at 10 degrees (resulting in 34 degrees total timing) is a good place to start tuning.
7. With the engine still on top dead center on the number one piston, we can begin adjusting the valves. For this setup, we adjusted to zero lash (when we could no longer spin the pushrod) and then made another half turn.
8. Other small pieces of the puzzle can now go together, such as the mechanical fuel pump, rated at 110 gallons per hour.
9. The Thunder Series carburetors go on next, and they slide over the stud kit we picked up from Edelbrock. For this dual quad setup, one carburetor features an electric choke, while the other is a standard manual choke model. Both are rated at 500 cfm.
10. Dual-quad linkage can sometimes be tricky, but Edelbrock makes it simple with this adjustable linkage setup. It can be used as direct linkage or progressive linkage, and you can adjust how quickly the secondary carburetor comes in.
11. It's always a good idea to thumb through the paperwork that comes with new parts. Otherwise, you might find yourself wondering what spark plugs to use. Edelbrock suggests using Champion RC12YC spark plugs with its cylinder heads.
12. Now we can install the distributor cap, then snap the Pertronix 8mm plug wires into place. The wires were pre-assembled, which saved us a lot of time.
13. Cosmetically, our 409 has lots of old-school style, which is quite fitting for this historic engine. The finishing touches are the Edelbrock finned aluminum valve covers and air cleaner, which feature a satin finish.
14. Before we fired up the 409 for the first time, we poured in 6 quarts of Comp Cams Muscle Car & Street Rod 10W-30 oil. It's a synthetic blend that has all of the necessary zinc to keep our old-school engine happy.
15. And, for good measure, we poured in a pint of Comp Cams Break-In Oil Additive to make sure our camshaft and lifters are protected. Luckily, we don't have to worry so much about camshaft failure with a roller setup, but this is a crucial step for a flat tappet setup.
16. As we near completion, the 409 gets a new Edelbrock aluminum water pump. After the four bolts are tightened, we installed a 63/4-inch harmonic balancer we picked up from Show Cars Automotive. Although similar in size to a regular small-block balancer, a 409 balancer has the timing mark in a different location.
17. For our dyno testing, we bolted on a set of Hooker Super Comp full-length headers. These 17/8-inch headers are designed for '58-'64 fullsize GM cars, and they are the perfect size for our dyno pulls.
18. At Hixson Motorsports, the 409 made several pulls, with the best of 504.8 hp at 5,800 rpm and 515.3 lb-ft of torque at 4,500 rpm. This test was performed on racing fuel and an aggressive tune-up. A pump-gas tune with 34 degrees of timing should result in approximately 470 hp.

From ForensicsWiki
As a Wikipedia user, I have noticed that none of your articles have categories. Did you know that categories exist in MediaWiki? If yes, is there a reason? I would like to start work on it. Special:Categories, http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Category --Midnightcomm 01:09, 23 April 2006 (EDT)
- Woah, I don't know much about Categories. How would I add them? What are they for?
- Categories are used to help organize pages. I also see that there are no help articles, in the absance if them, I will be using the Wikipedia style guides. --Midnightcomm 01:09, 23 April 2006 (EDT)
- [[Category:File Systems]]
- Sounds good to me. We welcome your contributions.
- Yay! I'm all for categories. I've started adding some (tools, licenses, OSes, ...), feel free to add more and categorize the articles. --Uwe Hermann 15:03, 23 April 2006 (EDT)
- How do you add categories? --SImson
- Usually you just add [[Category:Foobar]] somewhere at the bottom of the page, more info here. For the tools, I have incorporated the category into the Infobox, see dd for an example. It looks a bit stupid in the wiki source, but keeps the wiki category and the "Genre:" classification in one place, which is important IMHO. Btw, you can sign your "posts" with "--~~~~" which will expand to username and date, just like on this post. --Uwe Hermann 21:45, 2 May 2006 (EDT)

It's been a while! Holy cow! I am so bad about blogging! I just run out of time, and when I finally do have a minute, I look at everyone elses blogs instead of doing my own. Well, I guess I'll catch up month by month. So August 22nd was our 5 year anniversary. I can't believe it's already been 5 years! They've been amazing! I Love Brad So Much! We were going to go out and have a nice dinner and go to a movie (since we haven't been without Luke ) but it turned out Luke wasn't ready to be left alone with Grandma quite yet. He screamed non-stop for 45 minutes, while Seth cried to go outside. Brad's Mom finally called us, so we hurried home to find Luke had just fallen back to sleep. So, we ate our dinner out of the to-go containers while we watched the news. It was still a great anniversary because we got to spend it together, but hopefully next years runs a little smoother. Here are a few engagement and wedding pics. The wedding ones are pictures of the pictures, because I never got them put on a CD...oops.
They say bad things come in 3's. Well, for us all 3 came about the last week of August and the first weeks of September. First off my baby sister Kadee fell off the monkey bars at the park and broke her right arm (a couple days before school started). Then my little brother Adam shot a nail into his hand at work. And Lastly, Brad was breaking or bending rebar with my cousin and got hit in the back of the head with it. He came inside and passed out in the other room, and ended up with a serious concussion. He was sick for a few days.
On a happier note, Adam got his mission call! He's going to Hawaii!
We also have my brother Jake living with us now and going to school. If you have anyone to set him up with let me know. Luke is growing up so fast, he's crawling now and can make it all over the house. I can't believe he is almost 8 months old. He is such a sweetie!
Both of the boys love uncle Jake. They have tons of fun with him. Seth is starting to be my little helper. He helps my make the beds and do the laundry. Sometimes his helping is really messing, but at least he tries. We also finally sold the house in Ucon. It's such a relief to get that off our backs especially since winter is on its way.

Sheeee gave him a look, it would have worked on any other man around...
"Family Man" wasn't Hall & Oates' most popular song, but it was darn catchy. Heard this in the store the other day and was immediately transported back to listening to the radio in the '80s.

"Family Man" is one of my favorite Hall & Oates songs... yet unlike most of their other hits, it went away and rarely gets airplay nowadays. Like lots of songs that were hits briefly, and then rarely heard since, "Family Man" is memorable because it's linked to a specific time and place. You remember exactly where you were and what you were doing when the song as popular. In my case, it was my sophomore year in college. Good times...

Foot injuries and lameness can cause a cow to become immobile or develop other health issues, minimizing its production of milk. Today Vettec, Inc. introduces Bovi-Bond Soft, a new addition to the Bovi-Bond line of quality blocking products. The new patent-pending adhesive provides the same strong bond as original Bovi-Bond, but cures softer to reduce sole bruising and increase bovine comfort. Bovi-Bond Soft is two times softer than the original Bovi-Bond adhesive and offers a great alternative for thin-soled cows.
Bovi-Bond Soft is a proprietary two-part polyurethane adhesive used to bond wood or rubber blocks to bovine hoofs in order to allow abbesses, infections, to heal. The innovative, fast-setting Bovi-Bond Soft is odorless, can be stored in warm or cold conditions and has a one-year shelf life. Visit www.BoviBond.com to see videos on how to use the product.
"We debuted Bovi-Bond Soft at the 2014 Hoof Health Conference in July in Milwaukee, Wisc. Hoof Trimmers were thoroughly impressed with the quality of the product and with Vettec's ongoing commitment to developing solutions for large animal comfort," said Frank Dugan, Sales Manager, Vettec, Inc.
Bovi-Bond Soft has the same fast, 30-second set time as original Bovi-Bond and it cures clear. It comes in an 180cc cartridge; dispensing gun and mix tips are sold separately. Bovi-Bond Soft is available for purchase at dairy suppliers.

A 16-inch water main break next to Gator Bowl Boulevard and EverBank Field caused some problems and concerns early Friday with weak or no water pressure through much of downtown on the heels of one of the city's biggest events and the first day of Jaguars training camp.
Crews dug through the dirt to replace the broken 10-foot-long section next to a retention pond between First Coast News' studio and the stadium's Lot J. Water was restored fairly quickly, but JEA officials said final repairs probably wouldn't be done until Friday night.
The break was first reported about 6 a.m. next to the huge pond, JEA spokeswoman Gerri Boyce said.
"We had crews out by 6:30 and were able to isolate it a bit before 8 a.m. so everyone could bring presure back on to their businesses," she said. "... They are going to have to use safety precautions to make sure the crews stay safe due to the water and are able to restore the pipe."
At its worst, low and no water pressure was reported from the area around EverBank Field to as far west as the CSX building on Water Street, Boyce said. But water pressure began returning soon after water was rerouted around the break about 8 a.m., she said.
No "boil water" notice was issued. But JEA crews did flush the new pipe section Friday afternoon as they prepared to replace dirt and sod displaced when water gushing from the break gouged out a huge section of the embankment in the pond east of the stadium.
Police had blocked off both lanes of westbound Gator Bowl Boulevard in front of the retention pond as they repaired the main, with traffic coned off into the turn lane.
JEA said the water main break should not affect Saturday's 6 p.m. Carrie Underwood concert, international soccer matchup and stadium video board unveiling at EverBank Field.

If you're headed off to college for the first time, you may have never given any thought to your credit score or how it affects loans you apply for. You might not even know what a credit score really is. But as you venture closer to being an independent adult, it's vital that you understand the basics of building good credit.
Deciphering the lingo of financial aid may seem like learning a whole new language. But it's not as complicated as you might think.
It used to be you had to actually get in your car, drive through traffic, and wait in line at your bank (yes, the actual branch) before you could do anything with your money — get cash, check on your balance, transfer money or deposit checks. Now all it takes is a few clicks of your mouse or taps on your cell phone and all your banking is done.
One of the first friends you should make at college is in the financial aid office. While you may think you only need to worry about your finances once each year when you complete your FAFSA, there are all sorts of things your financial aid representative can help you with throughout your college career.
Let's face it — the student loan process is a little cumbersome: lots of information to gather, dates to remember, forms to complete, etc. And up until last month, borrowers had to use a PIN — a 4-digit password used to sign your loan application. Parents also had to have their own unique PIN.
Now the FAFSA PIN has been replaced with the FSA ID. This new ID simplifies the overall borrowing process for students and their parents (who also have to have their own FSA ID) and complies with new sec
Health insurance has certainly been a hot topic in the last couple of years. And whether you are for or against Obama Care (aka the Affordable Care Act), the fact is that since it was signed into law, your options for getting health coverage have grown tremendously.
It's also gotten trickier because now each and every one of us is legally required to have health insurance, so instead of simply deciding if you want coverage, now you must decide which coverage is best. To answer that question, you're going to have to do a little studying.
Preparing for college is a very emotional and exciting time. First you're busy writing essays and completing applications, then you're anxiously awaiting news about which colleges have accepted you and finally, there's the fear and anticipation of what college life will really be like once you get there.
If you've completed all your applications and most of your requirements, by now you should start receiving some financial aid award letters from the universities and colleges you applied to. Essentially, the letter aims to tell you how much financial assistance you can expect from the university, plus how much you'll have to cover on your own.
Essays can make the scholarship application process difficult. However, no scholarship that's worth having comes easily, and if you follow this advice, any scholarship essay is achievable!
What are your options for funding your college education? You have been accepted to college, now what? Now you have to figure out how to pay for it. There are many options, and it is important to know where to start. Watch this quick video from iGrad and get handle on all of your options!

The results of these periodic ratings are known as "CRA ratings." An institution's CRA rating can be found on the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC) Interagency's CRA rating search Web site.
If you still need information, you can contact your state banking agency by checking in the State Government section of your telephone directory. Provide the agency with as much detail as possible, including the institution's name, the account number, the exact name(s) on the account, and any other information you may have concerning the account.
Further information on reserve requirements is available on the Reserve Requirements section of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System Web site.
You can get information on purchasing a copy of the American Bankers Association Key to Routing Numbers from the American Bankers Association, or you can consult with your bank to determine to whom a routing number has been assigned and whether the routing number is valid.
You can also call or email Federal Reserve Consumer Help, the System's central repository for consumer complaints and inquiries, and they will walk you through the process of filing a complaint and answer any questions you might have.
Although the Federal Reserve looks into every complaint that involves banks it regulates, it does not have the authority to resolve every problem. There are several federal agencies who handle complaints about banks and other financial institutions, so the Federal Reserve may connect you with or forward your complaint to another federal regulator.

How Did the US Economy Look on Election Day 2008?
(NEW YORK) -- The last presidential election may seem as if it was just yesterday to many Americans, but it is a world away economically from the 2012 presidential election.
In 2008, the economy was in a tailspin. Today, most economists say it is making a slow recovery -- too slow, the Obama and Romney campaigns agree.
The unemployment rate in October 2008 was 6.8 percent, with about 10 million unemployed people. Today, the U.S. unemployment rate is 7.9 percent. While the labor market has improved better than expectations recently, 12.3 million people remain unemployed.
"At the time of that election, if you were knowledgeable about the economy, you didn't know what the bottom was going to look like," said Gary Burtless, an economist with the Brookings Institution.
On the day of the last presidential election -- Nov. 4, 2008 -- Americans did not know that the worst downturn since the Great Depression had actually started as early as December 2007. It was only later confirmed that real GDP had declined in the first, third and fourth quarters of 2008 and in the first quarter of 2009.
A couple months before, on Sept. 15, 2008, Lehman Brothers had declared bankruptcy. It was the largest in U.S. history.
A couple of months later, in December 2008, the National Bureau of Economics Research's (NBER) Business Cycle Dating Committee announced that the recession began one year earlier. The committee announced in September 2010 that the recession had ended, more than a year after the fact.
The housing market is where many Americans feel the ongoing pain most acutely. Housing prices are still down about 7.8 percent since October 2008. And while the foreclosure crisis has somewhat subsided, the market is still far from healthy.
In September 2008, one in every 475 housing units had foreclosure filings, RealtyTrac reported. In September of this year, it was one in every 730 housing units.
"People whose primary asset was their house have lost wealth, especially if they live in areas where there was the biggest housing bubble prior to the recession," said Stephen Bronars, chief economist of Welch Consulting. Hardest-hit markets include Las Vegas, South Florida, and California.
The U.S. car manufacturing industry has survived while the federal minimum wage has increased to $7.25 from the $5.85 it was in 2008.
The price of gas has fluctuated with crises in the Middle East. The national average is now about $3.57 a gallon for regular compared to $2.66 at the end of October 2008, according to the Energy Department.
While some economic indicators seem to have improved, the fear of a "fiscal cliff" has sharpened as Election Day approaches as well.
"Inflation is still not a top concern in 2012, but because we have added $6 trillion in debt over the past four years, we are vulnerable if inflation and interest rates increase," Bronars said.
"Today we are in the midst of a slow recovery," he said. "The static numbers look worse, in many dimensions, than they did four years ago. The biggest difference between 2012 and 2008 is the direction of the economy. The debate about today's economy is: Why aren't we recovering faster?"

Magician David Blaine's latest TV special on ABC, "David Blaine: Real or Magic," had the illusionist hopping from celeb to celeb, dazzling stars like Ricky Gervais, Jada Pinkett Smith, and Kanye with card tricks and other crazy stunts.
But one of the best on-camera reactions came from Harrison Ford.
Ford was speechless when Blaine mysteriously pulled the 71-year-old actor's card from an orange. He jokingly told Blaine, "Get the f--- out of my house!" It's wonderful.

Regarding this whole controversy over Nate Silver vs. more weathered political pundits, Paul Krugman has a great post (from a couple of days ago) on the vain search for true wisdom from "insiders" whether they be political insiders, financial insiders, or others.
A lot of political journalism, and even reporting on policy issues, is dominated by the search for the "secret sauce", as Martin puts it: the insider who knows What's Really Going On. Background interviews with top officials are regarded as gold, and the desire to get those interviews often induces reporters to spin on demand.
But such inside scoops are rarely — I won't say never, but rarely — worth a thing. My experience has been that careful analysis of publicly available information almost always trumps the insider approach.
At Business Insider, we love when we can bring you insider gossip on the topics of the day, like when we do our regular What Traders Are Chatting About Today posts. And we find it incredibly useful to constantly be gaging insider chatter with conventional wisdom, watching them change and interact and so forth.
But it's important to recognize that nobody is a perfect fountain of knowledge. Traders are wrong ALL THE TIME about what markets are doing, and why, and what news really matters.
Mark Dow wrote a great post on the same idea this past spring, but it applied to the tendency of people to believe "locals" about what's going on in their own country.
There's also an important side point here for sovereign analysis. There is a tendency to listen more to the people in the country being analyzed. It is presumed they have 'better information' and understand better how things work. But what I have learned in my experience with sovereign crises over the years is that whatever informational advantage they have is usually more than offset by (1) their difficulty in distinguishing between things that matter and things that don't; (2) the psychological baggage with respect to their own past, and (3) the often emotionally-charged nature of their perspective. Shorter: never ask a Brazilian about Brazilian inflation risk.
Another good example is what's going on right now with the consumer/business split. Consumer confidence is at post crisis highs. Corporate leaders (the insiders) are losing their wig, and flipping out about how everyone's so nervous about the fiscal cliff and so forth.
Bottom line. Nobody's an oracle. It's great to hear various people's viewpoints, but nobody has a monopoly on the story right now.

I want allerts
When I access certaina program It acces's the internet even though I do not want it to. I have put 'X's agains all of the programs in zone alarm but it still happens. I have set my controls to Max and Auto
Ato implies that I will get lots of unwanted allerts. The problem is I want an allert to find out waht is going on. Auto is not doing that.
I could mark an x against all 500 programs which would probably take hours and stop the computer because some are windows.
How do I get 100% alerts tempory to find this.
Re: I want allerts
You are already posted the same question last year. I therefore move the posts in the sticky thread. Please search the board before posting.
ZA is not designed to block what normally should not be blocked. In security the basic principle is not installing software if you are afraid about its connections. If you have it installed then you should trust and let it do their work. Stopping MS windows is also a no go. If the approach is like that then better to shift to another OS that you can trust.
The focus should not be on trusted sources but untrusted one. These by default will not be granted permissions in ZA. Otherwise you spent your time controlling the unnecessary with little added value in terms of security and malware prevention.
If nevetheless you want to be bored by hundreds of pop-ups and probably causing issue to your system by blocking core functionality then you can read here above in your same thread
It is always useful before posting here to do a quick search to avoid duplication and unncessary confusion to readers. Also it is useful you always paste the detailed information about Windows OS version and the version (and build) of ZA used as features and options changes according to the free version used.
