In Reply to: RE: To clarify - The isolation transformer in use, is an IE, Not a toroidal. nt posted by dcuhl on February 01, 2017 at 14:35:09
Usually EI transformers are not affected by DC on the mains.
What model number is the transformer?
Most importantly how cheap is the wife's Hair Dryer?
Is the circuit the hair dryer is being used on a separate circuit? 20 Amp?
Edits: 02/01/17Follow Ups:
Sorry EI type. Transformer is a Topaz Ultra-Isolator Model# 91018-32, 1.8KvA with a capacitance rating of .0005 pF, 120 volts in/120 volts out, 60 cycle.
The transformer is connected to a dedicated 20amp line whose configuration is as follows: 20 amp square d circuit breaker - 12/2 romex cable about 30 feet long into an aluminum housing exterior grade duplex outlet box - Oyaide R-O duplex outlet - ARC Preamp SP8MkII rev.7 into 1 outlet, Topaz into the other outlet. The Jolida 100 cd player is plugged into the isolation transformers Hubble 8300 duplex of which one of the duplex's outlet is covered by an Oyaide sendust plug cover.
The wife's blow dryer, can't tell ya, though its probably not cheap as she is a hair dresser by trade and wouldn't put up with junk. The inside components of the dryer maybe of questionable quality, don't know I haven't opened it, at least not yet.
Hope the background info helps. Many thanks.

Everything sounds fine to me. Why any DC offset on the mains would have any effect on the Topaz EI transformer beats me. You might check to make sure the end bells are securely tight on the transformer.
The only thing I can tell you is to either buy a DC blocker or build one yourself. If you build one make it big enough so you can try it on the Hair Dryer. Some of those dryers are 1500 watts. (1500 / 120V = 12.5 amps)
The only other thing I can think of is to buy a different brand/manufacture hair dryer for the wife.
One other thing that comes to mind you could try, check out, is to see if the topaz transformer and hair dryer receptacle are fed from the same Line, leg, in the electrical panel. If on the same Line, leg, try putting the hair dryer receptacle on the other Line, leg, or your dedicated 20 amp circuit for your audio on the other.
You never did say where the hair is used now and what the branch circuit size is, 15 or 20 amp. Is the circuit shared with other loads?
Sorry for the delay in responding, my 20 year old daughter is having some health issues. The isolation transformer consists of 3 major parts, the front and rear 3rd's are identical cast aluminum housings with different end plates, one with the AC cord the other with a single duplex outlet, no fuse and no power switch. the middle third is the transformer itself. 3 through bolts, two on top, one center bottom hold the 3rds together. So in reference to the bells perhaps being loose and possibly causing the hum, there really aren't any bells as one would think of them. The topaz uses the cast aluminum housings as the bells, the insides of which are empty or hollow with nothing to block the transformer radiated emi from reaching the incoming AC current or from it reaching the back side of the duplex and its AC connections. What to do in this space to shield, block or absorb the emi has been the subject my mind ponders, whenever it has a free moment.
The blow dryer could be in a 15 or 20 amp circuit as the most likely breakers are adjacent and it could logically be on one of three and the only real way to find out is to intentionally trip it to find the specific one rather than flipping breakers and having to reset or reprogram various kitchen devices, which I am unwilling to do. As to which leg, again I'd have to trip the breaker to know for certain. Perhaps the next time the power goes off and I have to reset the appliances anyway I'll take the 3 minutes to figure it out. To all whom responded, many thanks for your help and input, it is appreciated.
Sorry to hear about your daughter. I hope she is doing better.
3 through bolts, two on top, one center bottom hold the 3rds together.
Make sure the 3 through bolts are tight. It is possible the steel laminations of the EI transformer may not securely be tight against one another. Like I said in an earlier post it is unusual for an EI transformer to physically vibrate from DC on the AC mains.

Danger! Never intentionally attempt to trip a circuit breaker. IT may not trip open.
Believe it or not when UL tests a circuit breaker they only test the breaker twice to see if it trips open. Scary ain't it?
You can buy circuit checkers fairly cheap that will locate the breaker that feeds the branch circuit wiring. Below is a link for an example.
Looks like there was some pruning done in this thread. I think if you are going for efficiency, there won't be an air gap, and the laminations supply a complete circuit. Of course, if the cores are designed to handle DC, there will need to be a gap to prevent saturation, same as with toroids that have a gap cut when used for choke applications.

The Purists were a radical group of unjoined Trill, who felt that joined Trill were being enslaved by their symbionts and had been used to covertly take over Trill society.
In 2376, the Purists, led by Verad Kalon, engineered a retrovirus that targeted Trill humanoids and changed their biochemistry in such a way that the connection between them and their symbionts would be dissolved and that future joinings would become impossible for anyone affected. They also killed several joined Trill and even assaulted the Caves of Mak'ala, hoping to detonate a bomb there that would kill all the symbionts currently between hosts, but the attack was stopped in time through the combined efforts of the crews of the Federation Starfleet starships USS Enterprise and USS Defiant and all or most of their members captured. At the time, their numbers were estimated to be fewer than fifty members. (ST - Divided We Fall comics: "Crossfire", "No Quarter", "All Fall Down", "United We Stand")
Although disbanded, the group's mission was continued by the Neo-Purists. (DS9 - Worlds of Deep Space Nine novel: Trill: Unjoined)

Well, the Dolphins partnership with good ole' Reggie Bush (who's Twitter account still shows him in Dolphins colors and imaging) is officially no more as Reggie has just agreed to a four-year deal with the Detroit Lions.
The Detroit Lions were determined not to let Reggie Bush get out of town, in fear of losing their man to the Arizona Cardinals or Cincinnati Bengals
Dangling the opportunity to be a full-time player, starting over holdovers Mikel Leshoure and Joique Bell, the Lions landed another weapon for Matthew Stafford on Wednesday. Bush agreed to terms on a four-year contract, the team announced.
Head coach Jim Schwartz, who was in Nashville during the Chris Johnson-LenDale White "Smash and Dash" days, has long envisioned a similar backfield in Detroit.
Bush will fill the role originally slated for Jahvid Best before multiple concussions left his NFL future in doubt. Lions coaches will devise ways to get the ball to Bush in space, while Leshoure handles short-yardage duties and the four-minute drill.
With an increased role in Miami, Bush posted more than 950 rushing yards and more than 30 receptions in each of his past two seasons. The last Lions players to accomplish that feat was Hall of Famer Barry Sanders from 1997 to 98.
What's interesting is that Bell, the player whom Bush will replace on passing downs, was one of the most productive receiving backs in the NFL last season. Among tailbacks, only Darren Sproles posted more receiving yards last season.
It's easy to forget that the Lions started out 5-0 in 2011 before Best's season was ended prematurely. If Bush proves to be an upgrade on Bell in terms of versatility and matchup exploitation, the offense can reach those heights again this season.

Oil down, gold up – and still the mass of investors, led by Wall Street, can't figure out what's driving this six-year bull market in bullion.
Thursday's 1.5% bounce in the gold price "was driven by the exchange rate," reckons Michael Widmer, head of metals research at Calyon.
"The renewed weakness in the Dollar could encourage some buying of gold overseas," adds Stephen Platt, an analyst at Archer Financial Services in Chicago.
Both ignore the 1% rise enjoyed by British and European gold owners today. Japanese investors have seen the metal rise 1.3% so far this week.
And for US gold buyers? The price of Gold bullion just completed its fourth-best month on record.
At the apocalyptic gold price of $666 per ounce, May's average Afternoon Fix in London was $13 shy of April's figure. But it stood 5.5% higher than January this year. It trailed the peak hit in May '06 by less than $10 per ounce.
The competition, meantime, continues to scrap over which paper promise can lose most value the fastest.
The Ministry of Finance in Tokyo won't allow the Bank of Japan to raise interest rates above the current 0.5%. But sensing inflation, bond investors just demanded the highest coupon on two-year Japanese government bonds in more than a decade – a whole 1% per annum.
In Europe, the M3 measure of money supply rose 10.2% in April from one year before. The three-monthly average rose to 10.4%, said the European Central Bank this week – the fastest rate of growth in Europe's money supply since March 1983.
Over in London, the Bank of England offers higher rates than even the almighty Dollar at 5.50%. But the interest-rate premium now priced into Sterling has failed to stall domestic inflation. Prices are rising at their fastest clip in well over 15 years. The supply of Sterling (M4) has now risen at double-digits year-on-year for the last 25 months.
And the US Dollar? First-quarter GDP growth came in at 0.6% – less than half the Commerce Department's first and second estimates, and one-fifth of a per cent below Wall Street's average forecast. Last time the US economy grew this slowly, back at the end of 2002, the Federal Reserve was on its way to cutting interest rates down to 1% – an "emergency low" to fend off the threat of recession followed by deflation and depression.
That's why the Dollar bears merrily got back to selling the Greenback again today. But no sooner had the Euro spiked than it fell yet again; because the Fed's fears about inflation are coming true even as the economy grinds to a halt.
The Chicago Purchasing Managers Index showed prices paid by US industry rising sharply this month. The index gained 8%, in fact, a huge leap reflected by comments that "manufacturers are using any excuse they can to increase prices" quoted by the Purchasing Managers report.
"Prices are not coming down," adds another respondent. "Fuel surcharges are staying the same, not lowering."
Indeed, the only portion of the US economy that seems to be "enjoying" lower prices right now is real estate. Countrywide, the largest mortgage lender, reported quarterly profits down 37% on Thursday. IndyMac Bancorp, a major competitor, saw its profits drop 34%.
"I don't think the housing correction is over yet," said one economist to Bloomberg. Both S&P and Moodys reckon average home prices will drop 8% by the end of next year. Given the trouble to GDP growth that static home prices have caused so far, what might 8¢ in the Dollar knock off US consumer spending during the next 18 months?
"It does seem clear from yesterday's Fed minutes that the Fed is downgrading its outlook for the economy," reckons Michael Woolfolk, currency strategist at Bank of New York, "which is not seen returning to trend growth until 2008."
"We could see some further Dollar weakness," he adds – and as ever, the Dollar is the United States' currency, but it's the world's problem.
Some 80% of US government bonds due to redeem in the next 3 to 10 years are now owned by foreigners, reports Lawrence Dyer, a New York- based strategist at HSBC Securities USA Inc. Alan Taylor, a professor of economic history at the University of California, says the United States has not been so beholden to overseas investors since the 19th century.
Foreign holdings of US securities have doubled since 2002, and no wonder. All those cheap Dollars that the US sends abroad to pay for its yawning trade deficit "need to go somewhere," as Charles Comiskey, head of US-bond trading at HSBC said earlier today – "and the natural place to go to is Treasuries."
"Treasuries aren't bought for fundamental reasons but for necessity," says Comiskey.
Anyone wanting to bet on a cheaper Dollar – or simply hedge themselves against the grinding decline in all currency values – might do well to avoid Euros, Sterling and Yen.
Gold remains the only world currency not open to debasement, competitive devaluation, or the excessive promises of overspent governments.
And at $666 per ounce on average right now, it also remains within spitting distance of the highs for this bull market so far.

Love Cara and a nice departure from the "model-camera-light-fashion" approach so typical today….
so sexy
what the hell is this? its a disaster, she looks fine but none of it makes sense
Horrid from start to finish but the Cara paper dolls are kind of hot I guess.

Fox contributor praises Senate health care bill for reducing coverage "more gently"

Fake News Purveyors Joined Conservatives In Lauding Comey's Firing
Right-wing media praised the Trump administration's egregious decision to fire FBI director James Comey. Conservatives trumpeted the move as long overdue, while other media outlets lamented Trump's move as "obstruction" and called his rationale for the firing "implausible."
Media figures rushed to call the House-passed American Health Care Act (AHCA) a "win" or "victory" for the Republican Party and President Donald Trump, despite the fact that millions will lose health care.
Multiple media outlets and figures uncritically reported on President Donald Trump's planned executive order promoting policies that encourage the federal government to "buy American" and "hire American" wherever possible. These outlets and figures did not note that the executive order only calls for a review of current policy, and does not meaningfully change it, and some other outlets buried those crucial details in their reporting.
Before House Republicans and President Donald Trump were forced to pull the American Health Care Act (AHCA), their ill-fated first attempt to gut health care reform and repeal the Affordable Care Act (ACA), media repeatedly trumpeted Trump's supposed ability to get the bill passed because of his mastery of the "Art of the Deal." Here's a look back at how they described the "great negotiator," which was "the whole point of Trump":
Trump Was Not Referring To "Incidental" Legal Surveillance
Right-wing media figures are claiming that House Intelligence Committee chairman Rep. Devin Nunes' (R-CA) statement that President Donald Trump's transition aides were surveilled "vindicates" Trump and prove he "was right" about his unfounded claim that former President Barack Obama wiretapped Trump Tower. But Nunes' report -- that Trump aides were caught in "incidental collection" while surveilling other targets -- was already widely suspected, and Nunes himself admitted it does not prove Trump's false claim is correct. Multiple current and former government officials have said Trump's claim is false.
The White House banned several media outlets from attending a press gaggle today, including CNN and The New York Times, which have broken stories on connections between Trump and Russia. While some mainstream outlets were included in the gathering, the White House supposedly hand-picked others, including several right-wing or pro-Trump outlets such as Breitbart and One America News Network. Several prominent journalists noted that they've never before seen this sort of press exclusion. Even Fox News' Bret Baier criticized the decision, noting that news outlets stood with Fox when it was excluded from certain Obama administration interviews and that "a WH gaggle should be open to all credentialed orgs." But on air, Fox News told a different story, with White House correspondent John Roberts downplaying the severity of the situation:
MELISSA FRANCIS (HOST): There are new tensions right now, even new tensions between the White House and the media. Some networks being excluded today from the gaggle. Others were invited but declined. It's all anybody's talking about right now. Chief White House correspondent John Roberts is there. There is conflicting stuff floating around online. You're actually there -- tell us what's going on.
JOHN ROBERTS: What's the conflicting stuff and I'll tell you what really happened.
FRANCIS: Who is allowed to be in there and are certain news operations being kept on the sidelines intentionally?
ROBERTS: Well I can tell you that they did not have an on-camera briefing today in the Brady briefing room as they normally do, which typically would see upwards of 70, maybe even 80, people in there, kind of jammed to the rafters. The president had a big speech at CPAC today, so they decided that they were going to let his speech speak for itself and Sean Spicer wasn't going to have a traditional briefing. So he invited a number of news organizations up to his office to have what's called an off-camera gaggle. It's on the record but off-camera, so we recorded it. And there were probably 20 news organizations that were invited to that and then there were hundreds of other news organizations that were not invited to that. Sean Spicer was asked about it after one network started running a headline that it was excluded from this gaggle. Spicer said that they had a number of requests. There were only so many requests that they could accommodate because there was only so much room. As to their actual motivation, whether it was just a room thing or maybe it was something else, I can't say at this point because Spicer did not give us that information. I mean, I can speculate, but that would only be speculation on my part.

Media figures praised Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump for his speech in Valley Forge, Pennsylvania that briefly touched on health care, calling it a "very, very good speech" focused on the substance of his proposals for repealing and replacing the Affordable Care Act. In reality, Trump's speech was full of recycled, unworkable Republican proposals that would increase the deficit and leave an estimated 24 million people without health insurance coverage.
Fox News has attempted to delegitimize Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton's lead in the polls for months, claiming that the polls are skewed due to oversampling, that the size of rallies Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump holds is more indicative of his support than polls, and that there are "secret" Trump supporters who are too embarrassed to tell pollsters whom they support. However, other media outlets have explained that concerns about oversampling are "laughably incorrect," and that claims that crowds are more accurate than polling are some of "the most idiotic claims out there."
Right-wing media are hyping a Wall Street Journal article that attempts to scandalize the FBI's investigation into Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton's email use by tying political donations made by Clinton ally and Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe to a 2015 state senate candidate whose husband later became involved in the FBI investigation. Journalists mocked and poked holes in the "embarrassing" story that has "literally nothing" to it.
Media commentators are noting that Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has to "win big" at the final presidential debate or "he will lose the general election," given that he is "down in the polls nationally and in key swing states."

For the 20% of humanity that has a large clue total... there's the other 20% on the bottom rung that make you wish they had not locked up the tigers.
We never "do" Black Friday.... and this year it looks like you're better off waiting til later as the retailers get more and more panicky.

Just a question: Has these accidents of stampede occurred every year at this event or was this a one-time happening? I mean, if accidents happen during these events, someone must recognize they need a reinforce of security.
And just as a small note, I'm getting scared when people actually accidently kill other people over things they can buy for a lesser price. They didn't notice they stepped on a flesh floor?

That says that even those who may have noticed and yelled were being ignored in the crazed frenzy of the mob with those behind pushing those in front. Crowd psychology is an awful thing... I kind of wonder what each individual person who stepped on him is thinking today....
This does happen occasionally at any highly hyped sales event --- it boils back to store management wanting to make money more than wanting to hire enough security to keep the patrons safe. There's a science to crowd management so its not like management can play dumb. This isn't just a holiday sales phenom, tragedies have occurred anytime/place.... soccer games where fans get out of hand are the same sort of manifestation.
Black Friday is the first day since Jan 1 that many store retailers begin to show a profit -- hence the name as in "we're in the black" (ledgers are usually written with negative numbers in red, positive in black).

Black Friday: Consumerism at its worst. >_>;; I decided to be adventurous and try out a nearby Best Buy with some friends last year, and nothing was really worth it for any of us. This year I stayed in and got a Wacom tablet on Newegg for 20% off. That's really fine enough.
The Wal-Mart incident was avoidable and probably just unfortunate (the guy apparently was walking directly in front of the door when it broke down), and methinks the security personnel were cut back to save money.
It gives me chills to remember how just a year ago this was a joke used on television ads. I vaguely remember one that showed a bunch of grim staffers handing off the key to the storefront to one unfortunate colleague, patting his back and wishing him luck as they left. The man then turns in disbelief to look at the voracious crowd grappling and screaming at the windows outside, his only assurance being a nearby ambulance and crew unloading and preparing his stretcher.
After reading that news I looked on Wikipedia back at all those crowd crushes and stampede accidents. Never let people have only one clear goal on their minds, whether it be cheap presents or a clear view in the stadium, lest they become entirely irrational.

What they probably should have done is close for Thanksgiving, because nobody freaking shops then when the real deals come the day after, logically, and use that day to erect barricades and rearrange the place just for the imminent chaos. Maybe with a wide, clear avenue running towards the TVs and game consoles and whatnot. IKEA store layouts come to mind.
I mean, if you can get the crowd to move faster, you'd logically get more sales done. They're just lazy as hell (or short on money) at this point.

I've been to shopping fairs in Hong Kong, and I won't vouch for whether it's less painful to be crushed there than in the US. At least the people there are used to taking minutes to move meters in crowds.

Auto Print an HTML Page
I recently worked on a project for a client who wanted to allow a user to view and print a number of recipes directly from a Flash banner. There were all the other ways of interacting with the recipes as well, like emailing, sharing on Facebook, and sharing on Twitter. (I don't go into those other thing in this post, but you can find me talking about how to do things like that elsewhere on SuperGeekery.)
Additionally, the client wanted these same recipes sharable and accessible from their web site. Those site-based recipes also needed to be printable.
I wanted a solution that didn't end up creating multiple versions of the recipes. There were already many moving pieces in the project and having multiple versions of those recipes floating simply increased the chances of errors creeping in.
The Goal - one recipe to rule them all.
The solution was to build a single HTML page for each recipe that had a print button that would trigger the printing functionality. We also needed some mechanism to trigger printing on load when that URL was accessed from the Flash banner. (I also had an additional goal of keeping each recipe short enough to fit on a single printed page.)
First take a look at a sample recipe.
Now take a look at the same URL that we used when calling it from a Flash banner. It's the same URL, but with GET variables added to the end:
One you click on that link, it should launch the recipe like before but now your print dialog box should also appear.
Step 1: Build the HTML & CSS
If you looked at the HTML for the sample recipe, you'll see it uses tables to keep the graphics all lined up. This was originally built to also be used as an HTML email. That's why it looks like HTML from 1997. :-) That's just the state of making HTML emails. Typically you wouldn't use tables to align your graphics.
There were a number of recipes that were in this collection and some of them were long enough that they made the recipes spill over onto a 2nd page. We wanted to keep each recipe to a single page , so the big burger image needed to be replaced at the bottom of the page for printing.
The print style sheet basically turns off burger image at the bottom of the page with a solid rule, leaving the 'cleanbase' image, a solid rule, on. The web style sheet does the opposite.
From the Web style sheet:
#cleanbase { display: none; }
From the Print style sheet:
#fullburgerimage { display: none; }
The both style sheets also hide the "Print" button so that it's not visible unless told to be visible by the Javascript.
Step 2: Use Javascript to make the print button work.
As I said before, none of what we're going over is new. It's just putting together several well-known techniques in a single page. It just works and that makes it handy to know.
The print function is simple javascript. You print the contents of the window element like this:
Now we just need to have that function triggered when a user clicks the print button.
// Send coupon to printer $('#printbutton a').click(function(event){ event.preventDefault(); window.print(); });
Step 3: Checking the GET variables and triggering the print function
In the jQuery document.ready function, I wanted to check for the variables passed into the page via the URL, basically, I wanted to check the GET variables. Doing this in PHP would have been simple, but I wanted to use Javascript to do this.
Stack Overflow to the rescue. Here's a great little function to do that very task.
function $_GET(q,s) { s = s ? s : window.location.search; var re = new RegExp('&'+q+'(?:=([^&]*))?(?=&|$)','i'); return (s=s.replace(/^\?/,'&').match(re)) ? (typeof s[1] == 'undefined' ? '' : decodeURIComponent(s[1])) : undefined; }
Now you just need to test to see to see if 'print' is 'true'. If it is, we trigger the print window function when the document is ready.
if ($_GET('print') == 'true') { window.print(); }
Step 4: Finishing up
There are a few additional things this sample doesn't show that you could do.
- Add the Open Graph meta data for this page.
- Add Facebook 'like' and 'sharing' buttons
- Add a Twitter share button
- Build a email this functionality to this page.
- Add Google Analytics to the page to see how people are using it.
Please comment below if you've got any feedback. Thanks.
Comments on this post.
I made a slight update on how I hid the print button in the cases where there was no javascript. The noscript tag was a better solution for me than trying to guess the media type via JS.
Thank you for the help!
I was looking on google for the "auto-print" function.
Happy new year!
I hope you find it helpful, Christian. Happy 2012 to you too.
This post exactly fits my requirement.
Thanks a lot
Actually I am developing an POS application for my own shop in web.
Now for that in billing section have features like select the products and print bill. only two steps.
but while click on print then its appearing print setup window.. which is very annoying.
think, if i am using that application in counter, customers are standing in a line. so i must to do the billing as fast as possible to make customer happy. now for this window takes time for each bill, and every time i am using same printer. so i don't think this is necessary for me.
and ultimately time === money.
so i need this technical help.. please help if you can

DETROIT Although electric cars won't be hitting dealer lots any time soon, automakers are working hard to get customers accustomed to the idea of driving without gasoline engines. That's why on Sept. 18, you'll see Drew Barrymore race an all-electric Ford Focus as part of her visit with Jay Leno during the first week of his new prime-time show on NBC.
For the rest of the year, celebrities will compete for the best lap times in the special Focus provided by Ford. The setup is similar to the popular celeb racing feature on the United Kingdom car show Top Gear.
Ford won't have an electric Focus until 2011, but it hopes the Leno feature will show that electric cars can be fun mainstream vehicles. Or at least not scary.
Nancy Gioia, director of hybrid vehicle programs for Ford, says consumers have big concerns. One is price, which by some estimates could be $10,000 higher than a gasoline-fueled car. Consumers also worry they'll run out of juice while driving, don't know where they'll recharge and aren't sure about reliability.
Being on Leno's show will get the conversation rolling, Gioia says. "It opens up the dialogue to the next step. Because if (electric cars are) only seen as quirky or off the beaten path, it's really hard to get people" excited.
General Motors, which promises to have the plug-in electric Chevrolet Volt on the market by the end of 2010, also has been trying to raise awareness. GM touts the car on its Chevrolet website and encourages consumers to "become a fan" of the car on Facebook.
"If we walked into the showroom in 2011 with very little lead time, some segments of the population would have a tough time understanding what these vehicles can do," says Rob Peterson, a spokesman for GM. "You want people to understand that it's … a vehicle capable of being your primary vehicle."
Still, marketing may not be enough to sway opinions on electric vehicles, says Rebecca Lindland, an analyst at IHS Global Insight. With low gas prices, people aren't motivated to buy alternative-energy cars, she says.
"The bottom line is that manufacturers and the government need to remember that even a technology as established as hybrids still only average 2.8% of the market," she says.

"That (lifting the redshirt) wouldn't be fair to Sherrod," Brown said. "Colt would be the starter and Matt McCoy would be the second-team (quarterback). Now, since we don't have a third-teamer, we'll have to look at an emergency guy. And we'll have plenty of time to do that before we start practice next week."
Matt McCoy has not taken a game-day snap since Texas' October 14 win against Baylor.
Coaches will, in all probability, look initially to WR Billy Pittman. The junior was a four-year starter at QB at Cameron Yoe and was Texas' scout team running QB during his RS-freshman year (2004). If not Pittman, then sophomore Quan Cosby could also get a look as backup QB. Cosby was a two-time Texas 2A First-Team All-State selection at both QB and at DB at Mart.
Although no timetable has been set for McCoy's recovery from a late hit suffered against Texas A&M, Longhorn trainers reported last week that the RS-freshman had made "significant progress" toward recovery. X-rays taken at an Austin hospital showed no structural damage. Brad McCoy, Colt's father, has stated publicly that he thinks his son will be able to play in the bowl game.
"We'll obviously look at Colt's situation and see what he looks like as we get closer to game time before we make that (backup QB) decision," Brown continued. "We always keep an extra quarterback available because if something happens to two quarterbacks during the course of a game, you need to have somebody available to help."
In this case, something happened during the course of the post-season when backup QB Jevan Snead's decision to transfer was announced last Friday. Obviously, McCoy's injury initially suffered at Kansas State was not the sole reason for Texas' two-game slide, but it may very well be the most symbolic reason.
"The players know that we didn't play as well after Colt got hurt," Brown said. "We hope we can get him well, but we've got to do a better job of stepping up and doing other things well if he's not available for the game."
Texas returns to practice on December 12.

Moira Tourism & Travel Guide
If you behave a little crazy in Goa, don't be surprised when you are called a 'Moidekar'. The legendary village of fools, Moira, nestled between the towns of Mapusa and Aldona, is one of the four heritage villages of Goa. In this small village's lanes lie many old abandoned villas draped with creepers exuding nostalgia for its long gone Portuguese owners. If you are looking for moments of solitude, away from the common din, a ride through the backwaters of Moira is just what you need. Watching fishermen mend their nets, prepare their baits and finally get to it can be one of the best takeaways of the trip. You might also end up coming face to face with the rarest species of birds and aquatic fauna. Moira is also home to some imposing edifices such as the famous 17th century Church of Our Lady of Immaculate Conception. The pristine aura of this church is great for an aching mind, body and soul. Furthermore, this place is known for the largest bananas that can grow up to 30cm long and are reddish-brown in colour. Make sure you try this exclusive delicacy before you end your offbeat Goan experience.

On Monday, he was in Pennsylvania, a state he lost by 4 percentage points to Al Gore in 2000. Thursday, he goes to Maine, which he lost by 5 points. Last week, he traveled to Iowa, a 1-point loss last time. The week before he was in Arkansas and Missouri, both single-digit wins for him. All are considered swing states that could go either way in November.
But Tuesday's presidential visit to Buffalo to pitch renewal of the USA Patriot Act — the same topic he discussed Monday — was not that kind of choice. Bush has little chance to carry New York in 2004. He trails Democrat John Kerry in the latest Marist College poll 56%-38%. In 2000, he lost New York by 25 percentage points.
And with an unemployment rate of 7.4% — well above the 5.7% national average — the Buffalo area is one of the most economically depressed parts of the nation.
Why did Bush go to Buffalo?
The White House says it was to highlight how the Patriot Act, which loosened rules against the FBI and CIA sharing information, helped crack the Lackawanna Six case of al-Qaeda supporters.
"The Patriot Act played an important role in helping to break down the wall between the criminal investigation and the intelligence investigation that was going on there," White House spokesman Scott McClellan said.
Local Democrats say that is camouflage for an attempt to help re-elect three-term Republican Rep. Thomas Reynolds, who is facing a tough challenge from businessman Jack Davis.
Reynolds got the VIP treatment. He flew with the president to Buffalo aboard Air Force One. When Bush spoke in Kleinhans Music Hall, a Buffalo landmark, he praised Reynolds.
"There is no other reason for the president to come here. This is a (Democratic) state, and it's not in play," says Len Lenihan, the Erie County Democratic chairman.
Erie County, which includes Buffalo, is not Bush country. He lost the county 60%-39% in 2000.
On Monday, labor unions urged members to protest outside the hall where Bush would speak. "Celebrate the Bush Whackers farewell tour," a union flier said.
Peace groups also called for demonstrations against "the failed war effort built on (Bush) lies."
An estimated 500 protesters showed up Tuesday and demonstrated peacefully. But the President's motorcade skirted their path.
Michael Haselswerdt, a political scientist at Canisius College in Buffalo, takes the White House at its word. He believes the visit was an opportunity for the president to show how the Patriot Act worked and sell it to a national audience.
"It's a chance to point to a success," Haselswerdt says.

* First-quarter adjusted earnings $0.69/share vs est. $0.72
* Operating expenses up 13 pct to almost $1 bln
* Adviser headcount up 3 pct after slow start to hiring (Adds details, analysts' estimate)
April 23 (Reuters) - LPL Financial Holdings Inc, one of the five biggest independent U.S. broker-dealers, reported a lower-than-expected quarterly profit as operating expenses ballooned to almost $1 billion.
The unseasonably cold winter in the country also hurt the company's drive to recruit brokers in the quarter ended March 31. Broker count is a key metric of revenue growth and profit at LPL.
"After a slow start to recruiting to begin the year, our business development team saw improving conditions in March... we are seeing positive momentum in our pipeline heading into the second quarter," Chief Executive Mark Casady said in a statement on Wednesday.
The improvement in March helped LPL's headcount rise to 13,726 advisers from 13,377 a year earlier.
LPL also sells its investment capabilities to financial advisers who are not employees and allows brokers to keep much more of the fees and commissions they collect from clients than conventional firms where brokers are full-time employees.
The company's advisory revenue rose 16 percent to $327.3 million in the quarter, while commission rose 10 percent to $534.6 million.
LPL's net income slipped to $53.1 million from $54.7 million. On a per share basis, earnings were flat at 51 cents.
It earned 69 cents per share on an operating basis, short of analysts' average estimate of 72 cents per share, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
The company's operating costs rose 13.2 percent to $987 million, while total costs rose 13 percent to almost $1 billion.
Net revenue rose almost 12 percent to $1.09 billion.
Shares of the company, which have jumped 43 percent in last 12 months, closed at $49.10 on the Nasdaq. (Reporting By Neha Dimri in Bangalore; Editing by Savio D'Souza)

"As long as I have the sensation of pleasure, the enjoyment of drinking, and power, I don't mind being a machine at all. In fact, I love it."-Mecha-Ace(Tomaru Sawagoe) thanking Gray, King Boo, and Eggman Nega for his new body.
Mecha-Ace is the cyborg doppleganger of Retro Ace(Not to be confused with the Retro Ace of Retro Ace Corps) built by Gray Mann
Mecha Ace is a GRAY-Bot Soldier, designed with clothing similar to Retro Ace. Under his pith helmet is a brain-case that houses the brain of Tomaru Sawagoe-Makoto Itou's father-in a special fluid. He also has Cigar in his mouth and a Direct-Hit mounted on his left shoulder, inside his back his spinal cord connected with wiring, and behind his face his eyes are indivdualy cased in capsules which are in a special fluid. Also behind his back are 2 other arms, and engi-bot arm, and a spy-bot arm, both can be deployed in place of his other arms also all 4 arms can be deployed at the same time.
King Boo, Eggman Nega and Gray Mann after looking over all the recorded GRAY-Bot attacks on the Mann Co. Mercs had decided to make a major forces unit called the GRAY-Commandos. Only this unit would be a group of cyborgs like GRAY-Matter(formerly Brain Drain), and the leader of this unit would rivial the stats of Retro Ace; captain of the Knights of The VALVe table. However every volunteer (who were common criminal scum) lead to failure after failure because once they realized what they have given up, they kick into suicide. King Boo and GRAY-Matter recalling cases like Frankenstien's Monster that the mind and souls of those hearts and brains are too weak conclude that they are simply looking in the wrong direction for brains and needed a soul and mind with far more ambition. Tomaru Sawagoe, was recently in the hosipital after getting in a fight with one of the criminals that helped him become a billionare, Gray thought he would be a suitable subject for the project. Paul and Scanty reached the hospital and spoke to Tomaru who explains that the girls and Sekai are not related to Makoto at all "Those donut eaters made a mistake with some look-a-likes that I had my way with eariler, either way they couldn't arrest me." the two agents of Gray explained what they wanted to do with him and showed him the recordings of the failed prototypes. "Those mugs I worked with took everything and left me like this, I got nothing to lose. Alright, pull the plug, make me a monster. All I want now is just power, control, and good old-faishoned revenge." They cut off his life-support and the Medic-Bots put his head under quix-fix preservation to bring him back to the medical labs of GRAY Gravel HQ where they had GRAY-Matter and a team of organ-harvesting Medic-Bots extract Tomaru's brain,eyes,and spinal cord and place them into a preservation tank
- The inspiration of Mecha Ace and his origin was Robocain from Robocop 2

Blog post of the month: A sidekick for development
Each month People, Spaces, Deliberation shares the blog post that generated the most interest and discussion.
For October 2016, the featured blog post is "A Sidekick for Development" by Maya Brahmam.
A Sidekick for Development
October 17 was End Poverty Day – and we at the World Bank in Washington had a small celebration and a lively discussion around the new Poverty report: Poverty and Shared Prosperity 2016: Taking on Inequality. Topics ranged from 2 billion people living in countries affected by conflict to the work on social inclusion – which included a two-part definition of social inclusion: "The process of improving the terms for individuals and groups to take part in society" and "The process of improving the ability, opportunity, and dignity of people, disadvantaged on the basis of their identity, to take part in society."
Then I happened to notice a tweet from Owen Barder on the Sidekick Manifesto (with a cool pop art look) with the apt tagline: In the story of poverty's end, we can only be sidekicks. I particularly liked the statement: "The poor are not powerless or waiting to be saved."
It seemed to be a good reminder that economic development is a complex and costly process, which requires political buy-in from a broad range of actors, including the local community. Progress is built over time, and there are no quick wins. In the larger scheme of things, the poor are the main actors, we're just the sidekicks for development.
Competitive cities for jobs, growth, poverty reduction and shared prosperity?
We are all aware of the statistics: and they are growing so fast that 66 out of 100 people on earth will be urban dwellers by 2050. This, of course, will have major implications for people and poverty, climate change, and service delivery.
But ?
Since the early 2000s, three-quarters of the world's 750 largest cities have grown faster than their national economies. One of the key reasons for those cities' success is higher productivity—as a result of their ability to attract skilled workers—as well as a high concentration of productive entrepreneurs and firms.
For decades, national and city leaders have also taken actions to build competitive cities, increasingly facilitating firms and industries to create jobs, raise productivity, and increase incomes over time—especially for the urban poor. They see this as the pathway to eliminate extreme poverty and to promote shared prosperity. This is particularly important in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia, where most of the world's extreme poor live.
Change your Facebook profile picture and help raise awareness to end poverty
October 17 is the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty. This year's theme is Moving from humiliation and exclusion to participation: Ending poverty in all its forms. This is not only the United Nations' Global Goal #1, but it's also one of the World Bank's two main goals.
Working to end poverty can be an everyday practice. And we have dedicated our work to helping nations invest in both people and infrastructure to achieve this goal. To support our mission to end poverty by 2030, we launched the #ItsPossible social media campaign to inspire hope that it is indeed possible to end extreme poverty – if we all work together.
Campaign Art: Reducing poverty through education
The Asian Institute of Management, an international management school based in Manila, Philippines, published the video below to illustrate how increased education translates into increased earnings and better functioning societies.
In Papua New Guinea, empowering women is smart business
Oilmin Holdings, a logistics management company providing services to the oil, gas, and mining industry in Papua New Guinea, did not employ all that many women, but they had a star performer in Rose.
Rose had risen from administrative assistant to office manager in the company's headquarters in Port Moresby. Her boss at Oilmin wanted her to go further up the chain, but in their industry, the next logical step – and one required for senior management roles - was managing a field site. It required long hours and smarts. Rose was willing and able, but it also meant a very remote location. It was too risky, her managers decided; they didn't know how to keep her safe. Sending extra security guards – all male – would only increase the risk to her, not protect her, they concluded.
Poverty and exclusion among Indigenous Peoples: The global evidence
Where are these 370 million people, who are they, and why they are so overrepresented among the poor?
Only about 8% of the Indigenous Peoples around the world reside in Latin America, a far smaller number than most people surmise. On the other hand, over 75% live in China, South Asia and Southeast Asia, according to World Bank's first global study of poverty among Indigenous Peoples across the developing world, Indigenous Peoples, Poverty, and Development.
One year on, the SDGs provide reason for hope
With the adoption of a universal development agenda and growing commitments to fight climate change from all corners, 2015 will be remembered as a high water mark for international cooperation. Almost a year later, when the news is dominated by violence and nationalism, it's tempting to give in to pessimism about global trends. But I find reason to hope when I see the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) gaining traction.
The SDGs were the result of the most collaborative and inclusive process in UN history and signal a very real shift in the way people think about tackling development challenges to deliver a viable future for both the planet and its people. There is growing understanding that the two are indelibly linked.
4 actions for Mexico to fast-track progress toward financial inclusion
Last month, I traveled to Mexico to attend the launch of the country's national financial inclusion policy.
The launch was an important milestone for the country, since just 44% of adults have access to a financial account, according to Mexico's latest national survey on financial inclusion. The policy outlines a vision of how to extend access to formal financial services to the unbanked half of the population, and provides a roadmap for how to get there.
Worldwide, there are 2 billion unbanked adults and the international development community considers financial inclusion necessary to reducing poverty and boosting shared prosperity.
Mexico accounts for 2.6% of that global number. The country is also among the 25 countries the World Bank Group and partners have prioritized in the Universal Financial Access by 2020 initiative. The goal of this initiative is to enable access to a transaction account to store money, and send and receive payments by adults who are not a part of the formal financial system.
What does it mean to "eradicate extreme poverty" and "halve national poverty" by 2030?
This is part of a series of blogs focused on the Sustainable Development Goals and data from the 2016 Edition of World Development Indicators.
Sustainable Development Goal 1 is to "end poverty in all its forms everywhere" and has two specific poverty reduction targets. One target (SDG 1.1) talks of eradicating extreme poverty by 2030, building on a globally comparable notion of extreme poverty. Extreme poverty fell from 37 percent to 13 percent between 1990 and 2012; and based on national growth rates over the past 10 years, the global extreme poverty rate is estimated to be below 10 percent in 2015, a drop of more than two-thirds since 1990.
This post briefly explains how extreme poverty is measured and makes five main points:
- A large number of people have moved out of poverty since 1990, and impressively, even though the world's population grew by 2 billion, there are over a billion fewer poor people.
- There are many countries with relatively low poverty rates that still have large numbers of the globally extreme poor living there (e.g. China, India).
- At the same time, there are a large number of countries with stubbornly high poverty rates where relatively small numbers of the world's extremely poor live (e.g Haiti, Uganda).
- Since the SDGs focus on "no one left behind", when looking at poverty across the world, both rates and numbers matter.
- SDG target 1.2 aims to halve national poverty rates in all its dimensions between 2015 and 2030 – as it's based on country-specific understanding of poverty (which often differ) it's relevant for all countries, rich and poor alike.
