To say the last several years have been difficult for U.S. electrical contractors would be an understatement. Weak construction starts, a high industry unemployment rate, and no expectation of a recovery until at least late 2012 have many contractors shutting their doors faster than you can say "out of business." Despite all the doom and gloom, one Texas-based electrical contractor, Hargis Electric, has managed to not only survive, but thrive in these uncertain economic times.
Located in Paris, Texas, approximately 100 miles northeast of Dallas, Hargis Electric was founded in 1985 by owner Bryan Hargis, a Paris native who studied construction technologies at East Texas State University.
"I worked for three different electrical contractors in the Paris area while I was in high school and college," says Hargis. "The last one I worked for in the mid-1980s kept showing signs of a weakening business, so I decided to go into business for myself."
For the past 27 years, Hargis has striven to establish a reputation as one of the premier contractors in Paris and its surrounding counties by concentrating on delivering top-notch customer service, providing an outstanding work environment for employees, and establishing strong community ties. When the economic recession hit in 2008, Hargis didn't panic. Instead, he relied on his company's core values to sustain growth and took an even more proactive approach to find additional revenue
"Our philosophy is that we go to the customers instead of waiting for them to come to us," he explains. "In 2011, we partnered with our local electric utility, Oncor Electric, which has been offering substantial rebates for commercial businesses that retrofit their lighting systems with energy-efficient ballasts and lamps. We made hundreds of cold calls around the area to get the word out about the programs. As a result of this initiative, we finished more than 60 different projects that produced more than $250,000 in revenue."
In addition to drumming up new business, Hargis realizes customer satisfaction generates referrals and keeps clients coming back. A three-year standard warranty (five years for service partners), live customer service representatives answering the phone, and on-time technicians are a few of the ways the electrical contractor sets itself apart from the competition.
Hargis Electric recently won its third consecutive
Nexstar Select Service Best of the Best Award -
the first company to ever do so.
"Taking the time to listen to customers' wants and needs is very important, as is explaining the job/task detail in a way the customer can understand," Hargis notes. "Furthermore, we always give the customer several options on ways to get the job done, and we always give them an up-front price in writing before starting a job."
Professionalism and common courtesy go a long way toward customer satisfaction, according to Hargis. For example, all company technicians wear a uniform and are required to wear shoe covers to protect customers' carpet and flooring. They also clean the work area thoroughly when finished with a job.
"And we always make what I refer to as a 'happy call' once the job is complete to ensure the customer is 100% satisfied with the work we performed and to thank them for their business," he adds. "Because we're located in a fairly small market, if we don't take care of our customers, everyone will know about it."
Happy employees are as equally important to Hargis Electric as happy customers, so the company has several incentive programs in place to meet this goal, including bonus pay for efficiency, a 401K program, health insurance, and the best trucks, equipment, and office systems possible. Additional inducements include spins on a prize wheel each month for reaching such milestones as sales winner, a perfect attendance record, the most company stickers put on customers' electrical panels, and the most customer satisfaction reports submitted.
A strong marketing plan is another means Hargis Electrical employs to get its name out to the public. Not only does the contractor use traditional methods of advertising, such as television, radio, newspaper, direct mailers, and its website, but it also takes advantage of social media like Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and Google+.
"We partner with a vendor that assigns us a different phone number for each marketing piece," notes Hargis. "That way, we can track how many calls we receive on each piece and calculate our return on investment. This really helps us direct our money to the areas that benefit us most."
Hargis also recommends becoming involved in the community as a way to help increase your company's visibility, reputation, and potential customer base
"We are committed to various community organizations, such as the Salvation Army, YWCA, Relay for Life, and Project Graduation for local high school seniors," he says. "We are also a maintenance volunteer and Gold Contributor for the Trail de Paris, a public amenity that promotes recreational, educational, and civic opportunities."
All of Hargis Electric's hard work has paid off. Not only did the company reach $1.8 million in revenue and make a 15% profit in 2009, but it also hit $1.5 million with a 12% profit in 2010 and expects a profit increase to 15.5% for 2011. Moreover, the contractor recently received its third consecutive Nexstar Select Service Best of the Best Award — the first company to ever do so. To be considered for the award, members must score in the top percentage of three categories: customer satisfaction, employee satisfaction, and fiscal stability.
"I think it's important to be connected with an organization like Nexstar because they are very knowledgeable about the business end of things," he points out. "Contractors know the technical aspects of the business, but they tend to have shortcomings when it comes to the numbers side."
Despite its continually increasing revenue and profitability, Hargis harbors no plans to slow down or enjoy the status quo.
"We are looking into branching out into another trade within the next year," he says.

Sea Power
Sea Power
No, not fleets of warships-this power comes from warm and cold running water.
"The current energy crisis is fueling a worldwide search for power. Energy explorers are discovering that the largest reserve of potential energy covers more than 70 percent of the Earth's surface-the oceans." Replace "energy crisis" with "climate crisis," and these words could be pulled from the websites of any of several companies that are now looking to generate clean electricity from the heat stored in the oceans.
But these words were actually spoken nearly 30 years ago in a video showing the deployment of a vast plastic pipe, first snaking along a Hawaiian beach and then being towed out to sea. This pipe was a crucial part of the first power plant of its kind to tap into the energy in the seas, through a process called ocean thermal energy conversion.
In 1979, when this power plant was built, oil prices were near an all-time high and the United States had been searching for alternative sources of energy for almost a decade. The main goal then was energy independence: U.S. policymakers wanted to ensure the country's energy supply rather than rely on oil bought from hostile countries.
"We might very well have had a fleet of ocean thermal plants by now," says Robert Cohen, who in the 1970s was the first manager of the U.S. Department of Energy's research on ocean thermal energy. "We were headed toward that under the Nixon, Ford, and Carter administrations. But the Reagan administration was not friendly to renewables, especially ocean thermal. They pulled the rug on our funding." Since then, plans for harnessing this technology have lain largely dormant. As Cohen puts it, "It's become an orphan technology."

1. Mayday mayday mayday SoS Darwin! Is it really that bad? Guess so, if you go by BioLogos.
Professor Karl W. Giberson vice-president of BioLogos asks, in Saving Darwin Can you still be a Christian and support the idea of evolution? He argues that we can save Darwin and still be Christians or theists.
Darwinism is kept in place by people I can only describe as atheist tax and donor burdens. They do not hesitate to lavish sickening obsequies on the old Brit toff. Christian tax and donor burdens who support these atheist tax burdens support them and pay no attention, so far as I can see, to the fact that the vast majority of their compatriots are pure naturalists (= no God and no free will). Indeed, their constant refrain is, if we don't accept these people's views, ours will not be believed or accepted.
As if that would ever happen in an environment where such people rule. It would be a laff riot if it did not involve serious public policy issues.

A sperm donor who answered an online ad never intended to be a dad, but now the state of Kansas is suing to make him one -- or at least make him pay child support for the child born to a lesbian couple.
Far-fetched? It could easily happen in Minnesota, which has similar laws regarding parentage and artificial insemination.
Now, a Twin Cities attorney is lobbying state legislators to change the law, which, he says, has failed to keep up with the changing nature of families and fertility science. Minnesota's current law, he says, unfairly punishes single women and gay couples trying to start families and the donors who help them.
"This can happen here, and it shouldn't be able to happen," said Steven Snyder, a Maple Grove attorney who leads the American Bar Association's national work group on assisted reproduction. "Everyone gets that it's not fair."
Like Kansas, Minnesota requires that a doctor oversee a sperm donation if the donor wants to be considered free of parental responsibilities. That's true even though physicians aren't always needed in a world with $29.95 home insemination kits.
That requirement is the crux of the case in Kansas, where William Marotta answered an online ad in 2009 and donated sperm to Angela Bauer and Jennifer Schreiner without a doctor's involvement. When the couple split up, Schreiner sought state welfare benefits for her child. The state argued that Marotta was still the legal father and should pay for about $6,000 of the benefits, as well as child support.
Legal analysts generally agree that Kansas is following the law -- but that it is based on 40-year-old assumptions about parenting that were made before artificial insemination became commonplace.
The Kansas case made national news last week, but the headlines could have surfaced in Minnesota a decade ago, when Mikki Morrissette moved to the state and conceived a child with the help of donor sperm and a home insemination kit.
Starting her own business, Morrissette didn't have much money and applied in Hennepin County for the state's Medical Assistance health care benefits for her child.
County human services officials then demanded to know the identity of the sperm donor and insisted that he still had parental and financial responsibilities. Rather than press the case -- and force her friend and donor in New York to pay child support -- Morrissette dropped her application for benefits.
The fight was embarrassing for Morrissette, who had started the ChoiceMoms.org website and positioned herself as an expert to single women on how to have children on their own.
"My choice was to let them pursue that [child support] or drop it," she said. "So I dropped it." That left her child uninsured for a while.
Snyder argues that Minnesota's statute has become obsolete in several ways. In addition to requiring a doctor's oversight for a sperm donor to be absolved of parental responsibilities, the sperm must be donated to a married woman with the consent of the husband and wife.
Some women try to skirt the law by using anonymous donors. But Snyder said that doesn't address the legal question and could leave donors culpable if their identities were ever discovered.
"There's a huge risk down the road if anonymity starts to erode," he said.
The sure way for lesbian couples to get around that provision in Minnesota is to go through a formal adoption process in which donors relinquish parental rights. Adoptions, however, can cost thousands in legal fees.
"We're forcing lesbian partners or single women to spend $2,500 for an adoption," Snyder said, "whereas a married couple spends no money."
Cost is what drives many couples to seek sperm donations without using a doctor in the first place. Artificial insemination isn't a sure thing, and multiple trips to a fertility clinic can get expensive. So home kits and direct sperm donations are increasingly popular.
"Some women don't want to put their feet up in stirrups" for insemination in a clinic, Morrissette said.
"Not that self-insemination is a romantic vision either, but it's cheaper."
'Is our family secure?'
For Anna and Abigail Richey-Allen, the prospect of a sperm donor sued over parenting rights ended Friday, when they completed a second-parent adoption at the Dakota County Courthouse in Hastings. Anna was already a legal parent as the birth mother of their 3-week-old daughter, Tabitha. Now Abigail is a legal parent as well, and the sperm donor's rights are terminated.
The couple pursued the adoption in part so they can both legally travel alone with their daughter. Both work in foreign service for the State Department, and they were in Juarez, Mexico, before they returned to Anna's home state for the delivery and adoption.
Even with the adoption complete, the same-sex couple worry about some legal loophole that could emerge to challenge it.
"We still feel like, 'Is that it?'" Anna said. "'Is our family secure now?'"
Adoption isn't a great solution for single parents, Morrissette said, because judges frown on cases that don't involve a second parent seeking legal rights.
She hopes the sperm donor in Kansas wins his case and that Minnesota changes its laws soon. If parents placing children for adoption don't pay child support, sperm donors shouldn't either, she said.
"This is not at all what their role is intended to be," she said.
Snyder said that he was already planning to work this session on changes in Minnesota law, but that the national attention to the Kansas case might help persuade some lawmakers.
Rep. Steve Simon, DFL-St. Louis Park, said he expects to include the changes in a bill along with other changes to parenting laws recommended by the state chapter of the Bar Association. Opponents might raise "lifestyle" objections, but he considers those irrelevant because artificial insemination and sperm donation are commonplace.
"It's not a question of sanctioning a certain type of behavior or transaction," he said. "These transactions and behaviors already happen and are already legal. It's modernizing the rules we do have."

I have finally got used to using my new Apollo 600 and software but finding some features missing that were very helpful on the Primetest 300/350's. The main problem I am finding is the lack of the search feature on the Apollo when viewing tests on the unit. I normally record any fails I find on a failure report as I work but sometimes when stuck for time I leave this till the end to fill in and leave with the client. It is now NOT possible to view fails on the tester and the search options are very timely to use, the tests are put into barcode order and not first or last test so if you forget to put a comment on the results or make a mistake on description you end up taking 5mins to find that test to delete just so it can be recorded properly.
This is taking far to long and not being able to view fails is a MAJOR problem.
Is there any updates soon that may include this?

Security. Partnerships. Political-Military Affairs
By David McKeeby on March 2, 2017
The U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Political-Military Affairs links diplomacy and defense to bolster U.S. national security. We bring the U.S. Department of State together with the U.S. Department of Defense, Congress, and the U.S. defense industry to deliver tools and training that strengthen the United States' allies and partners around the world. We work worldwide: helping Iraq and our coalition partners make gains against ISIS; supporting nations across Southeast Asia to safeguard their territorial waters; and standing with our partners across Africa against terrorists like Boko Haram and Al-Shabab; among other challenges.
Security Assistance Builds Partnerships
The Bureau of Political-Military Affairs oversees approximately $6 billion in security assistance programs: grants under Foreign Military Financing help our partners invest in U.S. training and U.S. manufactured equipment; International Military Education and Training enables foreign military personnel to study beside their U.S. military counterparts; and Peacekeeping Operations funds help train and equip foreign forces to step up to the challenge of helping countries emerge and recover from war. We also work closely with the U.S. Department of Defense as they implement several security cooperation programs under their oversight, such as Iraq Train and Equip, the Maritime Security Initiative and the Counterterrorism Partnership Fund. Around the world, we work with our interagency and foreign government partners, using this important tool of U.S. foreign policy to further strengthen our national security and protect America.
Improving Foreign Military Sales
The Foreign Military Sales (FMS) system is another essential U.S. foreign policy tool that allows us to transfer defense equipment to our partners worldwide. While countries that receive FMF grants often bring these funds to buy equipment through Foreign Military Sales, the majority of FMS cases -- valued at roughly $40 billion a year -- involve countries bringing their own money to the table, representing both a very real investment in our shared security and benefits to U.S. defense manufacturers across the country.
There is no "one size fits all" approach to FMS: each request is carefully reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Before approving a proposed defense transfer, experts across the U.S. Government must carefully weigh a wide range of factors, from regional security and human rights to securing sensitive technologies. All major U.S. defense transfers require congressional notification, which may involve significant discussions. This process, which may sometimes appear slow to some critics, is essential to ensuring that these transfers of often-sophisticated, top-of-the line U.S. manufactured military equipment are consistent with U.S. foreign policy.
The U.S. Departments of State and Defense, in close consultation with Congress, U.S. industry and foreign governments, are continuously working to improve the FMS process. We continue developing new and better ways to formulate and develop FMS requests from our foreign partners. We have also established new approaches to FMS such as the Lead Nation Procurement Initiative, a pilot program that allows our NATO allies to retransfer equipment purchased through FMS to other NATO members, offering greater flexibility and cost savings while maintaining accountability. Together, these and other interagency innovations will enable the United States to remain the provider of choice for our foreign partners.
Protecting Defense Technologies though Export Control Reform
In addition to FMS, the Department also approves more than $100 billion a year in direct commercial sales of defense equipment and services from U.S. companies to our international partners. In recent years, the U.S. Department of State, the U.S. Department of Commerce, the U.S. Department of Defense, and other U.S. Government agencies have worked together to improve this process, updating 1970s-era rules governing United States' deliveries of defense equipment and services for the 21st Century, resulting in the transfer of less technically sensitive equipment, parts, and components to Department of Commerce's Commerce Control List (CCL).
These reforms support U.S. industry and the defense industrial base, while making it easier for our allies and partners to buy U.S.-made defense equipment.
Forging New and Innovative Partnerships
Through Security Assistance, Foreign Military Sales, and Export Control Reform, the Bureau of Political-Military Affairs is forging new and innovative partnerships at home and abroad that advance U.S. national security objectives. These programs are one of the ways, as Secretary Tillerson recently said, that the State Department will "engage to advance U.S. interests in the world in cooperation with our partners and allies," "continue to support policies and institutions that keep Americans safe," and "work with allies to counter nations that threaten their neighbors or destabilize their regions."
While we may not know what next major international security challenge may emerge, you can count on our continued commitment to taking action, strengthening our allies and partners, and safeguarding America.

Keycard is a new Mac app that pairs to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with Bluetooth, and when it detects that you've stepped away from your Mac (assuming you have your device with you), it locks your Mac. Once you return, or enter in the 4 digit code, your Mac unlocks.
To use Keycard, simply make sure Bluetooth is enabled on your iPhone or iPad, confirm it's connected to Keycard on your Mac, and enter in a four digit password. Keycard also includes options to open at startup and hide from your dock.
The four digit password may seem like an odd feature of the app, since it's all about your proximity to your computer, but this feature is actually very important. Suppose your iPhone's battery dies when you're away from your desk or even worse, it gets stolen. Without the 4 digit pin, you would be locked out of your Mac until you got your iPhone back.
I've tested out Keycard at home and it works great. I love how it unlocks before you're actually at your desk because it doesn't slow you down at all and disrupt your workflow. However, it would be nice to adjust what distance you need to be from your Mac in order for it to lock and unlock as some people may want to shrink that distance to only a few feet.
If you've been known to have your social networks "hacked" by your friends when you step away from your computer, you may not want to pass this one up.

WASHINGTON - The managing director of the International Monetary Fund said Tuesday that the global recovery is growing stronger but still is very fragile, calling on the international community to give her organization "more firepower" to help keep tottering economies from going under.
"We certainly need more resources," Christine Lagarde told the annual meeting of The Associated Press, without specifying how much more was needed. Lagarde said the IMF would address that question at its spring meeting in two weeks.
The IMF has about $400 billion in resources that it can use to provide loans to countries in trouble. Lagarde has talked about expanding those resources to close to $1 trillion. The 17 countries that use the euro have already promised to provide $200 billion (150 billion euros) of that amount.
Lagarde said the global economy is making some advances in digging itself out of the worst downturn in decades, but that the recovery remains particularly frail in Europe. She suggested cutting government spending too quickly in developed countries like the United States and larger European nations could make things worse, not better.
Policymakers on both sides of the Atlantic need "breathing space to finish the job," she said. Lagarde also said that Europe's faltering would quickly spread and the U.S. recovery, slowly gaining strength, "might well be in jeopardy."
"America has a large stake" in how Europe and the rest of the world fares," Lagarde said.
The IMF official said it is important to continue and expand emergency programs among the 17 countries that use the euro to help heavily indebted countries there.
"We should not delude ourselves into a false sense of security," she said. "The recovery is still very fragile. The financial system in Europe is still under heavy strain. Debt is still too high, public and private. Stubbornly high unemployment is straining the seams of society. ....Rising oil prices are clearly another cloud on the horizon."
Lagarde's remarks came after the Eurozone countries on Friday boosted their emergency bailout funds for heavily indebted countries to $1.1 trillion (800 billion euros). That was short of the $1.3 trillion (1 trillion euros) that Lagarde and other international leaders have said is needed to calm financial markets.
On Tuesday, she said, since the Europeans have moved first to raise their firewall, "the time has come to increase our firepower." While short of what the IMF had hoped for, it was a good first step — and something she said the IMF could work with.
During a brief question-and-answer period, Lagarde was asked whether some of the more debt-burdened countries would be better off leaving the group.
"As to the size of the eurozone and whether Greece, Portugal and whoever else should or should not be in, you know, it's a very deeply rooted sentiment that the Europeans, particularly from that area, have, that what they have built over the last 50 years or so, right after the second World War, is something that they are very, very attached to.
"And from discussions I've had with many leaders, including from the lead countries in the Eurozone, I don't think that there is any political intention, disclosed or hidden, to actually break up that zone," she said.
Lagarde also suggested that bold steps are needed such as those taken by the U.S. Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank to help "keep growth strong and steady."
And she said that most countries are running deficits that are too high and "need to bring down debt over time." And while "some countries under pressure have no choice but to cut deficits today...a global undifferentiated rush to austerity will prove self-defeating. Countries like the United States with low costs of borrowing should not move too quickly."
Those remarks thrust her into the U.S. presidential debate, where Republicans are united in calling for deep cuts in federal spending, while President Barack Obama — who also addressed the meeting — and congressional Democrats are calling for more job-creating spending, along with raising taxes on the wealthy to help trim budget deficits now exceeding $1 trillion a year.
Lagarde noted that over 200 million people globally, including nearly 13 million in the U.S., are without work, declaring that "jobs must be a priority."

>>>Full Teams
PINE MOUNTAIN, Ga. – The No. 2 Georgia College & State University golf team put four players on the All-Peach Belt Conference Teams, with senior Francisco Bide (Buenos Aires, Argentina) earning the PBC Player of the Year, the conference office announced Sunday at the championship banquet.
Bide, classmate Niclas Johansson (Skanor, Sweden) and junior Joe Young (Cochran, Ga.) were named to the first team, with junior Billy Shida (Berkeley Lakes, Ga.) earning a second-team nod.
Bide ranks second in the PBC in stroke average at 72.5. He owns a pair of top-five finishes, losing in a playoff at the season-opening Kiawah Island Intercollegiate and tying for third at the Lander Bearcat Classic in late March. He had seven top-20 finishes in his 10 starts.
Young is the league's stroke average leader at 72.3 with three top-five finishes to lead the team. The junior won the Matlock Collegiate Classic Feb. 16 and has six top-20 finishes in 10 starts.
A three-time All-American, Johansson is third in the PBC with a 72.6 stroke average. His best finish came in a second-place spot at the Richard Rendleman Invitational in early March. He's got six top-20 finishes.
Shida possesses a 73.2 stroke average, good for seventh in the league. His best finish came in a third-place slot at the Kiawah Island Invitational in the fall. He has five top-20 spots, marking half of his starts.
Bide is just the third PBC Golfer of the Year in the storied history of men's golf at Georgia College. Ola Bjoerklund won the title in the 2000 season, the last year that the Bobcats took the PBC Championship. GCSU Athletics Hall of Famer David Robinson won the next three honors, giving the Bobcats a four-season stretch of taking the PBC Golfer of the Year finishing up in 2003.
The Bobcats are back action Monday, April 12 in the 19th annual PBC Championship at Calloway Gardens in Pine Mountain, Ga. The Bobcats will compete in 36 holes Monday, finishing up with another 18 Tuesday.

Apple announces event for Oct. 23
USA TODAY's Jefferson Graham talks rumors and realities when it comes to Apple's next expected product, the iPad Mini.
There's another new iPad in the works, and Apple is expected to unveil it next week.
On Tuesday, Apple confirmed it will hold an event next Tuesday, Oct. 23. A press invitation that went out today teases with the line "We've got a little more to show you."
Apple offered no further details. The event will be held at the California Theater in San Jose at 1 p.m. ET.
Analysts expect an iPad Mini that would have a smaller screen, similar to competing tablets from Samsung and Amazon — and a lower price. The tablet will sell for $299, have a screen between 7 and 8 inches (down from 9.8 inches for the full-size iPad) and be available in a Wi-Fi only version, predicts Gene Munster, an analyst at Piper Jaffray.
Other iPads have both Wi-Fi and cellular service plans available.
A new smaller iPad would come at a time when many companies are dramatically increasing their portfolio of smaller tablets — and finding success with buyers. Amazon recently unleashed several new Kindle tablets including a beefed up $199 Kindle Fire HD model; Google and Samsung have the $199 Nexus 7. Both have 7-inch screens.
Microsoft, however, is taking a different path. It will launch its answer to the iPad, the Surface tablet, at a splashy event in New York on Oct. 26. Prices will start at $499 for the Surface, which has a larger screen.
By not having a 7-inch model, "Apple is ceding 20% of the market to competitors," says Munster.
Apple in the past has insisted that consumers prefer the large screen of its iPad. But now, says Munster, "There are some people who just naturally prefer having a smaller tablet," and Apple can satisfy them.
Munster projects that Apple will sell 5 million to 10 million of the smaller iPads by the end of the year, depending on whether it can meet the expected demand.
The new iPhone 5, which burst out of the gate three weeks ago with sales of 5million phones, has been plagued by supply issues. Apple could sell way more phones if it had them, Munster says.
Apple introduced a new iPad in March. That successor to the iPad 2 sports a brighter, sharper screen and an improved video camera. Nearly 75 million iPads have been sold since the tablet was introduced in 2010.
Rumors are swirling that Apple might use the San Jose venue to introduce a slimmer MacBook Pro laptop and perhaps a revamped Mac Mini computer.

NRO's Lopez: Anti-Discrimination Laws Are Proof Of "A Dictatorship Of Relativism And Cultural Delusion"
August 26, 2013 12:26 pm ET by Luke Brinker
National Review Online editor-at-large Kathryn Jean Lopez joined the right-wing media's outcry over a New Mexico Supreme Court decision affirming that businesses can't discriminate against gay customers, blasting the court's "soft tyranny" and declaring that the decision amounts to the effective death of religious freedom.
In an August 26 post for NRO, Lopez cited the successful lawsuit against Elane Photography, whose owner refused to photograph a same-sex couple's commitment ceremony, as evidence of the "tyrannical" trend in our nation's "libertine" culture:
The court ruled that it is "the price of citizenship" that, although you can believe whatever you want, you can't act as if you take certain beliefs all that seriously. It would seem the position of the New Mexico Supreme Court is that believing men and women are expressly made for the institution of marriage, for one another — that their very biology suggests as much, naturally ordered toward the creative gifts that are children — is somewhat akin to believing in unicorn gods who will come to set us free. That is: utterly absurd. Believe it in private if you wish; but don't ever try to operate in the world outside your active imagination or your codependent church with your crazy beliefs in mind.
But then, this is how the soft tyranny develops. Reporters trip over one another to refer to Bradley Manning as "she" because he asked them to. Loving a brother who is suffering doesn't require lying to him. Increasingly, though, lies are not only expected but mandated. That's not love. That's not freedom. That's where a dictatorship of relativism and cultural delusion lead us. And our very laws are coming to reflect this.
What are we going to do about it? You will recall that Tocqueville liked a lot of what he saw here. What he liked best is the civil society he saw flourishing. Today, that civil society is waning and threatened. When the government says that religious beliefs that conflict with its mandates on health insurance, in the realm of contraception, sterilization, and even abortion, are not fit for the public square, and when it subjects to punitive fines any employer who insists on acting on his beliefs, then it discourages service. It marginalizes a cast of characters a democratic republic needs. As much as some may believe they have found the perfect formula for happiness in the libertine realm, moral and even biological coherence does have its upsides. We would do well to leave some room for that. [emphasis added]
Lopez joins fellow right-wing commentators in perceiving a threat to religious liberty where, in reality, there is none. As the court's opinion noted, Elane Photography's "choice to offer its services to the public is a business decision" and is thereby bound to follow the letter of the state's anti-discrimination law. The court stated definitively that this did not mean Elane Photography or any other business could not freely express its owners' religious convictions:
Elane Photography and its owners likewise retain their First Amendment rights to express their religious and political beliefs. They may, for example, post a disclaimer on their website or in their studio advertising that they oppose same-sex marriage but that they comply with applicable antidiscrimination laws.
Despite what anti-gay media figures proclaim, such notions are not unprecedented. For years, state and federal non-discrimination laws have placed commonsense restrictions on religious liberty when religious beliefs are used to justify public discrimination based on characteristics like race or gender. Indeed, the absurdity of Lopez's column would be painfully apparent if she attempted to defend a wedding photographer whose deeply held religious beliefs compelled her to discriminate against an interracial couple.
If Lopez truly wants to stop "tyranny" and oppression wherever they occur, she might see some merit in laws that protect individuals against arbitrary discrimination based on who they are.

Hair apparent: Drug test for truckers?
The long-haired Grateful Dead used to sing about "Truckin'" on "reds, vitamin C and cocaine." Now, some lawmakers see hair as the best way to test truckers for drug use.
That's just the latest front in a broader federal crackdown on drugged driving.
Story Continued Below
This summer, Congress required the Department of Transportation to create a database of commercial drivers who have failed drug and alcohol tests.
Last week, the agency warned truckers that new drug laws in Washington and Colorado don't give them license to smoke up in those states.
Now, Republican Reps. Reid Ribble of Wisconsin and Chuck Fleischmann of Tennessee want DOT to start a pilot program to study whether the federal government should be able to pluck truckers' hair to test for drugs.
The basic premise: It's too easy to cheat on a urine test.
In 2007, the Government Accountability Office sent in undercover investigators and found that DOT's drug-testing regime left a lot to be desired.
"DOT's drug testing program is vulnerable to manipulation by drug users, especially given the wide availability of products designed to defeat drug tests," GAO reported. "While all urine collection sites followed DOT protocols by asking GAO undercover investigators to provide identification, investigators successfully used bogus driver's licenses to gain access to all 24 sites — demonstrating that a drug user could send someone to take a drug test in their place using fake identification."
And even if a trucker doesn't send a drug-free substitute in his place, skirting a positive result can be easy. Pills that clear the body of drug traces are readily available at truck stops. Even without those pills, stopping drug use for a few weeks and drinking a lot of water before a test can help boost the odds of a clean result.
Hair retains markers of drug use for a longer period, making it more likely that prospective employers would be able to weed out users before hiring them or catch them in routine tests.
The American Trucking Associations, the industry's most powerful lobby, loves the idea, but the Transportation Department hasn't taken a position. And the International Brotherhood of Teamsters is concerned about legislation that it sees as unnecessary and potentially discriminatory.
"We want to make sure that people's rights are not infringed upon and that people aren't discriminated against," said LaMont Byrd, director of the Teamsters' safety and health department. "We don't really see a need for additional legislating."

A Better Built Blog from your friends at Pancheros Mexican Grill
The Boards the Word
We have recently started unrolling a new menu system in all Pancheros restaurants.
Although your burrito itself hasn't changed, the way you order it will now look a little different.
*prices not accurate to any Pancheros restaurant.
Bob Gone Wild
Bob works hard. There is no denying that. This guy mixes up thousands of burritos on a daily basis, and you never hear the guy complain, not even once.
Because of this, we thought Bob deserved a little time off. Break lose. Let off some steam. But Bob needed a little help figuring out what to do with his time off. Thus, Bob Gone Wild.
We asked you, everyday Pancheros lovers, to take Bob with you after visiting your favorite burrito place, and introduce him to somewhere awesome; let Bob go wild! We couldn't just let you say you were going wild with Bob though, oh no, we needed some hard proof. Photo proof.
For taking a photo of/with Bob and submitting it to our Facebook app you are eligible to win a year of free burritos, and a hot air balloon ride with Bob! (so romantic!) You still have an entire week to submit your photos to win a burrito-filled hot air balloon ride. So what are you waiting for, grab a Bob and go wild! (But keep it PG. Ah, who are we kidding, PG-13 is probably okay, too)
Check out some of our submissions!
Thank You From Dance Marathon
Every year for the past seven years, some of our Iowa restaurants have teamed up with Dance Marathon to support the Children's Miracle Network. Dance Marathon is a student-run organization that works to support patients and their families being treated at University of Iowa Children's Hospital. It is a year round organization that culminates with a 24-hour Big Event in February. The Big Event honors children's fight against cancer and celebrates life. Pancheros has helped to support Dance Marathon by providing thousands of burritos to their Big Event each year in February. Students dance anywhere from 8-24 hours to raise money and believe me, dancing for 24 hours can really work up an appetite that sometimes only a burrito can satisfy...
Below is a note from the Children's Mericale Network at UI Children's Hospital thanking Pancheros for our partnership with them. Plus, check out some photos from previous Dance Marathon events!
CMN at UI Children's Hospital is so thankful to have the support of Pancheros. Over the past seven years, Pancheros has generously donated more than 13,000 burritos to participants of multiple dance marathons in the state. It is simple math, when dance marathons do not have to pay for the meals that they feed their dancers, they are able to make a larger donation to the hospital for the kids, FTK!
If Pancheros were to sell the burrito's that have been donated to dance marathons that support UI Children's Hospital, it would equal about $80,000! WOW!! Pancheros stands for something alright, they stand FOR THE KIDS! Thank you, Pancheros!
A little fire on your Burrito
We can all agree that burritos are the perfect food, right? But, why stop with perfection? We are happy to announce the addition of two brand new, proprietary hot sauces to all Pancheros restaurants.
Each of these hot sauces adds it's own special balance of heat and flavor to your burrito.
It is my pleasure to introduce to you - Greenade - our green hot sauce. With a flavor palette derived mostly from citrus and jalapeños, this hot sauce is going to add a burst of flavor to your burrito, with a hint of heat.
Where there is smoke, there is fire. Our second unique hot sauce utilizes seven different peppers for the perfect combination of heat, smoke, and flavor. This little guy seems friendly at first, but after a generous dabs on your burrito you may start to feel that heat.
While you're chowing down on a burrito with one of these delicious new sauces, be sure to check out some of the fun details on the bottles. We have a proprietary heat scale that ranges from "zzz" to "OMFG" (Oh My! Fiery Goodness) and also proper hot sauce use.
If you are feeling a bit adventerous on your next visit to Pancheros, grab a bottle of Greenade or Flavolcano and pour some on!

Letter, S. N. Simpson to Hiram Hill Esqr
Author: Simpson, Samuel Newell
Date: July 24, 1856
Samuel Simpson wrote from Lawrence, Kansas Territory to Hiram Hill, reporting on the status of Hill's various real estate investments, "all doing well". Simpson was able to take possession of a town lot owned by tenant Fuller instead of a rent payment. The majority of the lots of West Lawrence were allotted to Simpson, who intended to build an avenue through it immediately. Simpson expressed for old times back in Massachusetts at the Hill's home, and predicted that the "dark times" in Kansas would pass by the next spring. Meanwhile, he said border ruffians still killed and robbed, only to seek the protection of U.S. Troops and escape punishment.

Ryan Gosling is dashing on the cover of GQ Australia magazine's February 2013 issue, out on newsstands now!
Here's what the 32-year-old actor had to share with the mag:
On his first taste of Showbiz: "When I was a kid, it (his uncle – a wannabe Elvis impersonator) was certainly the most interesting thing going on in the house. He made his own costumes, did all the sequins – it took months. And I became a bit like his shadow, helping him when I could. He was in the mirror, working on the voice and singing, and he slowing created this character, and then he put together an act and performed in a local talent show. And because I was so interested, he made me the head of security. As a joke."
On all the attention: "It's strange. It has a dream-ish quality. Like, you're in a dream where everybody knows you but you don't know anymore. It kinda feels like that. I guess the benefit is that it's kept off the internet. At the end of the day I think that's probably for the best. It's a like a minefield for me."
On his knitting skills: "I did this scene in Lars and the Real Girl where I was in a room full of old ladies who were knitting, and it was an all-day scene, so they showed me how. It was one of the most relaxing days of my life. If I had to design my perfect day, that would be it. And you get something out of it at the end. You get a nice present. For someone who wants an oddly shaped, off-putting scarf."

FIFA President Joseph S. Blatter and FIFA Secretary General Jerome Valcke have made a two-day visit to Canada. On the agenda was the announcement of the six Host Cities of the FIFA Women's World Cup Canada 2015™ and the Canadian Soccer Association's (CSA) centenary celebrations.
Accompanied by the Chairman of the Committee for Women's Football and the FIFA Women's World Cup Worawi Makudi, and Caribbean Football Union Representative Jeffrey Webb, the FIFA delegation arrived in Ottawa on Friday for the Host City announcement ceremony.
Beforehand the FIFA President had met with the Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper at his office in the city, where they were joined by defender Rhian Wilkinson and goalkeeper Karina Leblanc of Canada's national women's team.
Following a relaxed meeting in which the quartet reflected on the FIFA Women's World Cup Germany 2011, Blatter made a visit to Parliament Hill in the company of CSA President Dominique Maestracci and the Minister of State for Sport Bal Gosal. The trio posed for a photo with a group of young female football players before having the honour of kicking-off a match the girls were playing on the pitches in front of the parliament buildings.
It was then time for the unveiling of the six Canada 2015 Host Cities at a ceremony compèred by former Canada women's team coach Sylvie Beliveau and ex-international Kara Lang.
Edmonton, Moncton, Montreal, Ottawa, Vancouver and Winnipeg were the six cities selected, prompting Bal Gosal to comment: "It is not every day that the people of Canada have the chance to see world-class football in their own backyard." During the ceremony internationals Leblanc and Wilkinson presented the FIFA President with a Canada scarf.
Then it was on to a press conference, during which Blatter commented on a number of subjects, including the importance of the women's game.
"Women's football is opening up and developing right across the world," he said. "That's the social and cultural value of our sport. Football is an education in life itself, and thanks to this World Cup women are going to win, football is going to win and the country is going to win."
Blatter also took the opportunity to point out what still needs to be done to take women's football forward in the future: "We need more championships to develop women's youth football, women's refereeing and coaching, and we have to get more women involved in running the game."
The following day the FIFA President attended the CSA's AGM at the Ottawa Convention Centre, where Victor Montagliani was elected the Association's new president.
"I am delighted to be here for the Canadian Soccer Association's centenary," said Blatter. "I have had something of a love affair with the CSA. Following the 1976 Olympic Games, the U-17 World Cup in 1987, the U-19 Women's World Cup in 2002, the U-20 World Cup in 2007 and now these two tournaments in two years, Canada is unquestionably on the world football map. I also hope that the interest generated by the Women's World Cup will lead to the creation of a women's league."
Speaking at the official dinner that followed, the FIFA President thanked Mr Maestracci for all his hard work and welcomed Mr Montagliani to the football family before wishing the CSA a very happy 100th birthday.

"America at this moment," said the former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill in 1945, "stands at the summit of the world." During the 1950s, it was easy to see what Churchill meant. The United States was the world's strongest military power. Its economy was booming, and the fruits of this prosperity–new cars, suburban houses and other consumer goods–were available to more people than ever before. However, the 1950s were also an era of great conflict. For example, the nascent civil rights movement and the crusade against communism at home and abroad exposed the underlying divisions in American society.

Does Model S have a charge reserve capacity built in?
Does Model S have a charge reserve capacity built in?
My understnading is the the car will stop driving at 0% but withholds 5% or so to protect the battery and electronics.
That's the claim, but a few people have driven 5+ miles "below zero", while being ordered by the UI to "plug in IMMEDIATELY!!"
When I did my 400+ mi drive earlier in the month, I only used 80.3 kWh of the 85. I went a couple miles further than 0 range and the dash started showing a Charge Now in red where it usually says ideal range. It still drove on and off the truck too. We used radio, screens and air conditioning for another 45 mi while waiting for a tow truck. It went into an economy mode for air conditioning and ave a notice about it. No ill effects to the battery, but I wonder how much of the 5kWh reserve is actually usable before the car completely shuts down. For fear of damaging the battery, I did not want to test it this far on my own car ; ). Let me know what anyone else finds. Also note that this was with the "4.0" firmware update...
Dmetcalf, apropos... did you receive any "nice surprise" from Tesla for being the first doing 400+?
Got stuck on the highway at 0 %.Was pleased to get to travel home on the reserve(about10 k).There was no message except the car cannot get to a known charger.Thankk you for the reserve.I really was not smart to be in that situation.

Hmmm….. According to a Reuters/Ipsos poll released this week:
The U.S. public overwhelmingly opposes raising the country's debt limit even though failure to do so could hurt America's international standing and push up borrowing costs…
Some 71 percent of those surveyed oppose increasing the borrowing authority, the focus of a brewing political battle over federal spending. Only 18 percent support an increase.
Yet from the same poll (emphasis added):
Only 24 percent say the country can afford to cut back on education spending, a likely Republican target, and 21 percent support cuts to law enforcement.
With the Pentagon fighting wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, 51 percent supported cutbacks to military spending.
Less than half, 45 percent, support an expected Republican effort to pare environmental enforcement.
Some 53 percent support cutting the budgets of financial regulators like the Securities and Exchange Commission, in spite of the widespread consensus that a lax regulatory atmosphere contributed to the devastating financial crisis of 2007-2009.
And 47 percent support cutbacks to national parks, which were shuttered for several weeks during the budget battles of 1995 and 1996.
Expensive benefit programs that account for nearly half of all federal spending enjoy widespread support, the poll found. Only 20 percent supported paring Social Security retirement benefits while a mere 23 supported cutbacks to the Medicare health-insurance program.
Some 73 percent support scaling back foreign aid and 65 percent support cutting back on tax collection.
I wonder: is that supporting cutting back on "tax collection"–as in administrative and enforcement costs–or cutting back on taxes collected (i.e., taxes, period)?…
The Concord Coalition has updated our issue brief on the debt limit, which explains that holding the line on the debt limit would not literally stop the policies that increase our debt; it would simply cause us to default on our (still increasing) debt:
Approval of a debt limit increase is necessary to maintain the full faith and credit of the United States government. Failure to approve an increase would not be an act of fiscal responsibility, unless it can be said that deadbeats are fiscally responsible because they refuse to pay their bills. It would result in the United States defaulting on the commitments it has already made, including Social Security, Medicare and veterans benefits, vendor payments, tax refunds, student loans and interest payments on outstanding debt.
The consequences for government finances, the economy and financial markets would be dire as investors would no longer be able to count on U.S. bonds being the "safest investment in the world." Delaying action on an increase until the last possible moment, forcing Treasury to utilize extraordinary measures to avoid a default, is unnecessary and irresponsible.
Unlike budget enforcement mechanisms such as statutory spending caps or the pay-as-you-go (PAYGO) rules for entitlement expansions and tax cuts, the debt limit places no restrictions on specific tax and spending decisions. If deficits result from these policy decisions, or if the economy fails to grow as projected, the debt limit must be increased to prevent a default on the government's obligations.
Moreover, no plausible set of policy options have been proposed, nor do they exist, for preventing a breach of the current limit.
In other words, instead of holding the line on the costs of government spending, choosing to not increase the debt limit would dramatically raise the cost of maintaining our ongoing commitments by turning "safe" Treasuries into "risky" ones that would command higher interest rates.

Social Tagging in China and the USA: A Comparative Study
Chen Xu and Heting Chu
ASIS&T 2008 Annual Meeting (AM08 2008)
Columbus, Ohio, October 24-29, 2008
Two sites for tagging, one in China (i.e., 365Key) and one in the USA (i.e., Del.icio.us) are compared in terms of their respective tagging mechanisms and tags created. In general, the Chinese tagging site provides more pre-set functions to its users whereas its American counterpart gives more freedom for its taggers. Our findings also show that tagging, like many other information behaviors, is greatly influenced by and stamped with the social and cultural traditions existing in each country. Taggers in both countries, however, do tend to choose terms of same or similar meanings which indicates that tagging, regardless of where it is done and where the tagger is from, is still done in accordance to the fundamental rules in indexing. As an activity unique in the networked environment for loosely representing and organizing all kinds of information, tagging does not seem equal to keyword indexing although both share some similarities.

As I was packing for my own holiday vacation last night, I got to thinking about the excitement that comes with the final preparation for a family holiday—the sense of adventure, freedom, and anticipation that feels a bit like the first hill of a really fun roller coaster! The pleasure in knowing that the next seven days are being spent with the ones you love, the people that make all the hard work in life worth it. It's also all about breaking the routines of your daily life and making the small things large— things like connecting with the people and feelings most important to you.
I think this is also how our timeshare consumers feel as they embark on their vacations at wonderful resorts around the world. In our industry, we are the creators of these important memories for millions of families like yours and mine, which makes me love even more what we do as our core business: resort development. We should never forget that the thousands of people who comprise this wonderful industry get to be the "chefs" of the vacations du jour, and how fortunate we are.
So, my holiday challenge to you is to "walk the walk" of better vacationing. Take the time this holiday to plan that getaway with the ones you love. Make it a priority to stop and appreciate the small things and do what all satisfied timeshare owners do—plan a better vacation!
Happy New Year and best wishes for a successful and rejuvenating 2012!

Hopefully all of you with international properties have had a chance to participate in the ARDA International Foundation's (AIF) first worldwide survey in over a decade. We will complete data collection at the end of December and begin tabulating results to provide the industry with statistics on the importance of vacation ownership and its most recent performance trends around the world.
Shared vacation ownership sales and resort operations represent a significant and growing force in the global economy and this major research undertaking will begin to quantify that.
The survey was developed and launched in early November with the ARDA International Foundation (AIF) working closely with Tourism Economics, an Oxford Economics Company to conduct the supply portion of the study and The Research Intelligence Group to conduct the consumer portion of the survey. In that piece, we are measuring number of owners, residence by country, international travel preferences and for non-owners, industry awareness.
We will ascertain key industry metrics including sales volumes, product types, resort occupancy rates and operating metrics for every world region. The results will help the financial and investment communities better understand the state of the industry and help the industry professionals around the world to educate the public, the press, lawmakers and business partners alike about the industry so that a better business environment can be created or maintained.
The survey reached 99 countries and was available in five languages. The full report will be available in Spring 2012.

May I please offer a concise overview regarding the younger person and the Affordable Care Act (ACA). Certainly, persons in their 20s and 30s need far fewer healthcare procedures than do older people. And, admittedly, these younger persons have less money to allocate to their healthcare spending.
However, these 20, 25 and 30 year old people will someday be 50, 55 and 60 years old.
That is when they will need the younger group to be in the healthcare pool, just as the older group of today does, to keep their health insurance rates affordable.

The redevelopment of the Willets Point neighborhood, which is currently a run-down, dirt road business district that has been classified by the city as an area in need of major environmental overhaul, has been surrounded by controversy since it was announced, and the approval of a modified reconstruction and development has not put an end to much of the frustration felt by many of the more than 1,700 employees who have worked in the area for years.
The redevelopment, which will remediate the land before raising it above the ten-year flood plain and creating more than 5,000 units of housing, retail space, and a new convention center, will require the relocation of more than 250 small businesses.
Many of the businesses specialize in automotive repair and industrial salvage, and several business owners are reluctant to leave, arguing that there are few locations in New York City suitable for their type of business.
But four months after the Willets Point development was approved and the city began aggressively acquiring property in the area, employees of Willets Point businesses are saying that the business classes offered to them by the city are useless, and that not enough is being done to adequately relocate their businesses. Likewise, they say, efforts to retrain workers through courses at LaGuardia Community College are making matters worse.
"We don't need training, we just need a place to move our businesses," said Marcos Neira, president of the Willets Point Defense Committee. "Everybody who works at Willets Point is already skilled, and we don't need any more training. The city is insulting us."
Alfredo Clavistad, who has been employed as an auto body worker in Willets Point for the past decade, said that he didn't need any training.
"I'm 53 years old, and I don't need training, I need work," he said. "Even if I did receive training, who would hire me? If my boss is relocated, than I will have a job and I don't need anything from the city."
A large percentage of the workers employed at Willets Point are undocumented immigrants who say that they would have a hard time finding employment at other agencies or through city-run placement programs.
"A majority of workers in the area don't have papers, and getting a new job would create enormous problems," said Sergio Aguirre, an organizer with the Willets Point Defense Committee. "Even if they are retrained, they can't get jobs. There are thousands of people unemployed in New York City, and these workers can't compete when looking for jobs."
Not only do the workers consider themselves adept at their occupations and in little need of additional education, but they feel that the money spent on creating and offering the classes should have gone to fund the relocation of businesses, an initiative that they say has been lacking so far.
In a letter addressed to LaGuardia Community College students, workers, and professors, the Willets Point Defense Committee argued, "the courses are being used politically by the mayor who falsely shows the public that everything is going well at Willets Point."
Willets Point business owners have been offered $3 million in total in relocation assistance from the city, which works out to a little less than $12,000 per business. Yet LaGuardia Community College has received $2.5 million to provide training courses, and the Willets Point Defense Committee feels that that money should have been used to provide further relocation assistance.
"These people have been technicians for years," said Aguirre. "At Willets Point, you can get what you need done for the best price. This a very useful place, and New York City needs it, especially now that nobody is buying new cars. We're asking the city to forget about retaining. We're looking for relocation and compensation."

This past weekend, 19 year-old female golf phenom Inbee Park won the US Open at Interlachen in Minnesota. There are many reasons this was incredible, but to me, the most interesting part of this whole thing is her name. As we've done before, here is how I imagine her parents arriving at the name Inbee (note: I recognize Inbee Park is South Korean and Inbee has a different meaning in Korean…but still…):
- Mom: Let's go inside.
- Dad: No, I'm watching the bees pollinate as I ponder names for our daughter.
- Mom: I want to go in now.
- Dad: No, bees…pollinating…interesting…like watching National Geographic
- Mom: In, now.
- Dad: Bees.
- Mom: In.
- Dad: Bees.
- Mom: In…bees…in…bee…what about Inbee?
- Dad: I love it!?!?

The Azure Code Samples are currently available in English
Azure Storage Queue Service - Quick Sample using Pop Receipt and Face API
This sample demonstrates how to use the new Popreceipt functionality to coordinate updates across two non-transactional resources. In this case it allows a Blob to be published and metadata about the Blob to be written to a table entity. Prior to uploading the blob, a message is enqueued, the updates are performed to blob and table and if successful the message is deleted using its popreceipt. Any messages remaining in the queue need additional work due to the failures experienced, which can be consumed via a backend worker that is not demonstrated in this sample.
Sample App: Image Upload and Face Recognition using Face API from Azure Cognitive Services
In this sample app, we assume that the user has a number of photos in a local folder that needs to be uploaded to Azure as blobs, and using Face API each person's age in the the photos are estimated and added to a table as an entity. We will be tracking the completion of this process in a queue and a backend worker would ideally later on pick the messages from queue to go through failed processes.
Here is a quick walktrough of the sample:
- Create the queue if not created already
- Create the container if not created already
- Create the table if not created already
- Find JPG files in 'testfolder'
- For each photo, do steps 6-10:
- Upload a queue message representing the processing of this photo. If there is a failure while processing this photo, the existence of this queue message will signal that failure to a background cleanup process (not shown here.)
- Call the Face API to estimate the age of each person in the photo.
- Store the age information as an entity in the table.
- Upload the image to a blob if at least one face is detected.
- If both the blob and the table entity operation succeeded, delete the message from queue using the pop receipt.
Note: This sample uses asynchronous programming model with Task Parallel Library (TPL) to demonstrate how to call the Storage Service using the storage client libraries asynchronous API's. When used in real applications this approach enables you to improve the responsiveness of your application. Calls to the storage service are prefixed by the await keyword.
Running this sample
This sample can be run using either the Azure Storage Emulator that installs as part of the Azure SDK - or by updating the App.Config file with your AccountName and Key.
To run the sample using the Storage Emulator (default option)
- Start the Azure Storage Emulator (once only) by pressing the Start button or the Windows key and searching for it by typing "Azure Storage Emulator". Select it from the list of applications to start it.
- Create a folder named 'testfolder' locally (~ bin/Debug) and place a few photos
- Set breakpoints and run the project using F10.
To run the sample using the Storage Service
- Open the app.config file and comment out the connection string for the emulator (UseDevelopmentStorage=True) and uncomment the connection string for the storage service (AccountName=[]...)
- Create a Storage Account through the Azure Portal and provide your [AccountName] and [AccountKey] in the App.Config file. See http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=325277 for more information
- Create a folder named 'testfolder' locally (~ bin/Debug) and place a few photos
- Set breakpoints and run the project using F10.

The Miami Herald
The article, "Surfside approved controversial hotel project" by Angel L. Doval, in the Sunday, May 15 Neighbors section omitted critically important information and a very compelling presentation made by attorney Tucker Gibbs and zoning expert Mark Alvarez, given at the behest of the Surfside Residents Association (SRA), and therefore only told half the story. Documents and a PowerPoint presentation allege that the Town of Surfside 2004 Charter Amendment 4, that passed with a 92 percent voter approval and which limits a development's height, density and intensity was "broken", thus calling for a "vote of the people" via referendum.
To my great disappointment, the most controversial item to appear in front of this commission to date had two absent members; Mayor Dietch and Commissioner Karukin. Mr. Dietch, a strong supporter of this project, was the town's planning and zoning chairman for four years and not only missed the opportunity to cast his vote, but also the liberty to challenge the presentation as well.
The vote taken on a matter of such importance, with only three members of the commission present, represents a sad day for Surfside governance.
Joseph "Joe" Graubart
Vice mayor, Surfside
