Microsoft today is showing off improvements to most of its enterprise infrastructure software designed to make it simpler for businesses to deploy hybrid cloud services that can allocate resources as needed.
The announcements at its annual TechEd North America conference come about a year after the company delivered a major overhaul of the same platforms -- Windows Server, SQL Server, Visual Studio and System Center -- as well as new features in its Azure cloud service and Intune PC- and device-management service.
[ BACKGROUND:New services bolster Microsoft Azure as key enterprise cloud management system
RELATED:Microsoft Azure enters price war with Amazon Web Services
TECHNOLOGY TO WATCH:Windows Server 2012 cannot be ignored]
This is a new, accelerated pace the company is adopting for updates and upgrades to it software offerings, driven by its experience developing features and management tools it needs to run Azure, says Brad Anderson, Microsoft vice president of Windows Server and System Center. He calls this cloud-first engineering.
"We are literally refreshing every one of the on-premises infrastructure products from Microsoft," says Anderson, who will be detailing the new features at the conference in New Orleans.
These include Microsoft's much touted Hekaton technology, which can speed up the transaction-processing time of SQL Server transactions and improve deduplication, possibly reducing the storage footprint of data in Windows Server more than 90%, he says.
Upgrades to Visual Studio include tools for IT staff to create virtual machines of application servers that are glitchy and ship them to developers where they can be fixed offline, he says.
Many of the new feature were proved first in Azure and are now being pushed into on-premises products, Anderson says, actually using Azure code in the enterprise products.
All the new versions will be available for preview later in June via download from Microsoft sites and all except for SQL Server will be shipped by the end of the year.
Hybrid clouds use a mix of private cloud infrastructure owned by businesses, public cloud services and Microsoft's own Azure cloud services, which it regards as distinct from a public cloud service.
The company will be releasing Windows Azure Pack, which lays the Azure Web portal to Windows Server and System Center on-premises products.
Also on tap for Anderson's keynote is a description of some of the new features coming with Windows 8.1, the first major upgrade to the new desktop operating system.
Here are details of the features that will be described and demonstrated at TechEd:
Windows Server 2012 R2
Windows Server has advances in software-defined networking that include partner announcements about extending and enhancing Hyper-V network virtualization. This includes a site-to-site VPN gateway that automatically creates secure links between data centers and assets in service provider networks.
Through software, storage can now be accommodated on commodity server hardware rather than dedicated SAN infrastructure.
It can also deduplicate data, consolidating repetitive strings. Anderson says a demonstration will show how the data footprint for a VDI deployment can be reduced 95%.
Hyper-V virtualization within Windows Server can replicate copies of data to service provider data centers and then enable further replication by the providers for purposes of disaster recovery.
A new hybrid cloud feature enables stretching corporate computing resources into a public cloud by moving Web servers into a public cloud while retaining their old IP addresses, leaving the data tier back in the corporate data center.
The new version of the server simplifies setting up Active Directory Federated Services, which enables single sign-on to related Web applications during a single online session, essentially extending Active Directory to Azure.
A feature called Windows Server Work Folders enables replicating data from local hard drives to a data center, then re-replicating it out to other devices.
During the keynote Microsoft will demonstrate fast and slow storage and how that can be optimized to improve input/output operations per second (IOPS).
SQL Server 2014
The latest version will include Hekaton, the Microsoft code name for its new in-memory processing for applications in the database that the company says can dramatically improve the number of transactions per second. Customers will attest to increases of 15 times on the same hardware, Anderson says. There will be a demonstration of this from a perspective of business intelligence.
SQL has the ability to do backup and disaster recovery to Azure.
System Center
This server will have the same portal that Azure had that is being enabled by Azure Pack. This could be used with System Center, for example, to enable end users in a department to create new virtual machines within cloud infrastructure based on policies set up by IT. "It's self-service, exactly as if you were to go to Azure," Anderson says.
Visual Studio 2013
This software development platform can be tied in to Azure so when developers are ready to test whether new applications will scale up they can create virtual machines within Azure on which to run the tests, then turn off the virtual machines when testing is done.
The new version gives individuals visibility into portions of the code other development team members are working on, visibility into what tests have been run, and access to logs that show who has worked on what blocks of code. Individuals can also chat natively within Visual Studio with other developers. Some of these features will be demoed.
Visual Studio's connection to System Center has been improved, reducing the time to resolution of problems that are found with apps in production. When IT encounters such problems it can snapshot the server on a virtual machine that the developer can work on offline, find a fix and publish it to IT to roll out as an update.
Microsoft is revising the billing model for Azure for Virtual Machines, Web Roles and Worker Roles services so customers pay per minute rather than per hour, which gives customers the opportunity to save money via more precise charges.
This service for PC and device management and protection is being expanded to do a degree of mobile device management for Windows, Apple iOS and Android devices. Support for Android is new.
With this service, IT can set up policies for the devices that are automatically applied when devices are registered to the service by end users. The end users can then self-provision the applications they need to get their jobs done.
A demo will show how the service can wipe corporate data off a worker's device and leave the worker's data intact.
Anderson describes this as similar to Exchange Active Synch but with finer controls.

I am happy to announce the full text of both of my ALA Library Technology Reports are available now at the new TTW companion site The Hyperlinked Library.
The rest of the site is currently under construction, but for now you'll find:
Web 2.0 & Libraries: Best Practices for Social Software (2006) – http://thehyperlinkedlibrary.org/libtechreport1/
Web 2.0 & Libraries: Trends & Technologies (2007) – http://thehyperlinkedlibrary.org/libtechreport2/
Special thanks to my SJSU SLIS grad assistant Patrick Siebold who worked very hard the past few weeks inputting the content. I know the examples from '06 and '07 may seem out of date and quaint in some ways, but I'm very proud of the framework we used for the works back then. Conversations, Community, Connections, Collaborations – all those great C words Jenny Levine and I used throughout our early social software roadshows in 2005 & 2006 provide a useful context for looking at Web 2.0. I hope these works are still useful to some of you. Comments are open for adding more to the chapters and I plan on doing some types of updating as time permits.
The site will also serve my course Web sites and other items related to my teaching.

Now being a mom of 2 ( baby three due honestly any day now, today, tomorrow, soon as he makes an appearance :) ) we are already accumulating more than are share so have started it with my kiddles too.

I had no reason to carry an unwieldy black umbrella on a hot day in Mumbai. Except for an email I received Friday evening.
At two minutes past 5 pm on October 4, I slipped in with about 60 seemingly innocuous members of the crowd outside Crossroads, a glitzy mall near Tardeo in central Mumbai, and began yapping agitatedly into my cell phone. We paced about even as onlookers dropped their jaws. We gesticulated wildly like stockbrokers and yelled 'Reliance ek hazaar becho!' and 'Khareedo, khareedo!'
Before the stupefied security guards could react we broke into an impromptu garba dance, clapping our hands and whooping. At a shouted signal, we froze dead in our tracks, holding the pose for exactly half a minute.
Somebody's Labrador whimpered and tugged uneasily at its leash.
A voice yelled, 'Move!' Each of us unfurled our umbrellas (now you see why I was lugging that thing around) and melted away into the world outside, before the bystanders had time to gasp.
It was a historic-slash-histrionic two minutes -- I was a part of Mumbai's first flash mob.
Flash mobs, a social phenomenon first reported from New York in May, are sweeping the world through email and the Internet, especially via blogs. Flash mobs are sudden and seemingly unplanned gatherings of large groups of people that converge in public places at a predetermined time. Members simultaneously converge to form the mob, perform a predetermined, usually bizarre task and disperse quickly, leaving onlookers bewildered.
It's all good fun and nobody gets hurt. But it can leave a lot of people dumbfounded.
It all started with an email from a colleague on Friday afternoon, which asked me to look up a new blog for Mumbai flash mobs with a link to their Web site. I followed the link and filled a form that swallowed my name, email and mobile phone number when I clicked submit.
Thank you, the form burped.
About 8 pm my cell phone trilled.
"Hi, this is Rohit," the caller said, and without much ado asked me to check my email.
His message, titled 'Mumbai Flash Mob #1 tomorrow' contained agonisingly detailed instructions. First, I had to synchronise my watch and cell phone clock to http://www.timeticker.com/. There were particulars of the exact time -- 'timing is everything', the email proclaimed -- and the venue, called a 'Flash Site'. I also received an SMS from Rohit asking me to get in touch with Anupama, a flash mob volunteer.
Anupama instructed me to meet her at a location -- a 'Meeting Pad', in mob lingo -- near Crossroads at 4.40 pm. Not earlier, not later. She briefed me about the 'act' to be performed -- a comedy in three parts: the stockbroker routine, the garba dance and the 30-second freeze. She reminded me to carry an umbrella.
"Is there anything else you want to ask me?" she enquired before I disconnected. "I can't tell you anything later."
And that was how I found myself loitering near Crossroads on a sweltering afternoon, trying to spot other people with umbrellas. There weren't any. But there was a young lady with a bag (perhaps it contained an umbrella?) standing in the spare shade of a tree near a petrol pump.
It had to be Anupama. But it was only 4.39. I lingered for a minute, then walked up to her and smiled. She nodded.
She looked at her watch. I did the same.
"Where's everyone else, I wonder?" she asked.
In a minute, they arrived out of nowhere. Soon there were about six of us.
"We'll move at exactly 5 pm," she said at 4:51.
At 5 pm, we moved briskly in a staggered group towards Crossroads. It was crowded outside the mall, and security was thick.
What if it misfires?
"If a security guard or cop asks you to leave, leave immediately," Anupama said gravely.
"If you feel like laughing," she said, "make it a part of the act. If you feel embarrassed, stand aside but stay with the mob."
I was deadpan. I am usually very serious about having fun.
We slipped into the crowd. At exactly 5:02 pm, the mob swung into action. My umbrella finally had its moment in the sun. In two minutes, I was away walking towards the Haji Ali sea face, quaking with inner laughter, still holding my umbrella aloft and not feeling like a fool at all.
In fact, I felt a sense of great accomplishment.
I did not see any of the other mobsters again. But when I called Rohit he was ecstatic at the flash mob's success.
"There were 68 people including me," he said, "That was a good turnout. Statistically, about 100 people is a success but the mob today was very spontaneous. Nobody showed signs of stage fright."
"Great," I said.
"But who informed the press?"
It wasn't me, I mumbled, though the little voice in my head taunted, 'You are the blooming press.' I felt glad to be an insider.
There's a history behind all this, though it is only about five months old.
The first flash mob was organised in Manhattan in May, by an underground group called the Mob Project. Since then flash mobs have spread, usually via email and the Internet. But innovation does not escape the mobsters. On September 8, a flash mob invitation appeared in the comic strip Doonesbury, through which artist Gary Trudeau organised a flash mob in Seattle. Flash mobs have also been reported from Amsterdam, Paris, Vienna and Zurich.
The Manhattan mob is attributed to a figure known only as Bill, who e-mailed about 50 friends to gather at a retail store in downtown Manhattan. The store was tipped off and the plan was foiled.
The next time round, Bill made amends. For the second mob, participants were asked to gather in advance in one of several bars. Only then were they handed a leaflet, which detailed the target -- Macy's department store -- and the act.
About 100 people appeared, seemingly out of nowhere, on Macy's home furnishing floor and began discussing whether to purchase a 'love rug'. The crowd quickly melted away even as the bewildered staff looked on.
Organise, congregate, act, disperse -- that is the anatomy of a flash mob.
Rohit spearheads the process. "I was intrigued by this concept," he said, adding that he sold his 'offline' friends on the idea. He booked the domain mumbaimobs.com on September 16.
"It's been 15 days since I launched the web site," he said. "We now have 300 members."
He conducted an online survey to determine the ideal locations for a mob. Members volunteered to help with Web site design. Some pitched in with suggestions for performing acts.
The mobsters' blog does the talking, though it reveals no secret details. For that, you have to join the mob. Only members are emailed instructions. It is bad manners, and really bad karma to squeal.
Rohit, who appears to have a sharp memory for names and emails, handles registration of members. He emails them individually, picks volunteers from among the registrants and assigns them to coordinate mobsters.
For the October 4 mob, each volunteer was assigned 10 mobsters. They meet at various Meeting Pads and arrive at the Flash Site at the designated time. The melee is a highly coordinated act but appears completely spontaneous.
Members do not meet each other except at Flash Sites. I have not yet set eyes on Rohit. Oddly, neither have some of the volunteers. "I registered online just four days ago," said Anupama. "I haven't met him."
Curiouser and curiouser.
No law and order problems have been reported so far, but some stuffed shirts may find flash mobs a nuisance. Also, some do-gooders have proposed that flash mobs start cleaning up the city or do some 'socially useful' work. But Rohit maintains that the purpose is to have fun.
I agree. Don't you want to be part of the next one?

Take a look two SP inside the sys Procedure in SQL Server 2008 (included also in the SQL Server 2005), and they are the documented one which is "sp_SpaceUsed" and undocumented one "sp_MSTableSpace".
Yes, it is documented store procedure inside the SQL Server 2008 (incl, SQL Server 2005), and the way how to execute it is:
EXEC sp_spaceused 'TableName'
For very few seconds, for the table that you choose, you will have info about:
How many rows are in the table,
How much space are reserved for that table,
How many KB data are allocated,
What is the SUM of Indexs Size,
What about your unused space.
EXEC sp_MSTableSpace 'TableName'
The second one is the undocumented store procedure that shows less results than SP_SPACEUSED but it is usefull for quick info about a table.
The info that we can have from this Sys SP is:
Number of Rows,
Data Space Used,
Index Space Used.
As you can see, two SYS SPs tell us a little bit same info about a table, exactly the Rows Number and Data Space Used. Anyway two SPs are very quick and very usefull.
Stay Tuned!

…there's nothing you can do that can't be done, nothing you can sing that can't be sung, nothing you can say, but you can learn how to play the game, it's easy, all you need is love, all you need is love, all you need is love, love, love is all you need. – The Beatles
If only that were true, right? I am the honored recipient of some hot love from Cowboys and Crossbones in the form of One Lovely Blog Award. With lots of love right back to CBXB, I'll try to do justice to the love! THANKS CHICKA! YOU ROCK!
The rules are simple: to share seven random things about myself and to nominate seven other worthy bloggers.
Where to begin. Where to begin. I've shared so much, I wonder what's left? (It's no secret I love seashells and shopping and my Angel Boy child.)
1. I totally crush on Tina Fey. She's smart and funny and pretty and very powerful.
2. I'm petrified to walk across running water, like a creek.
3. When the captain's gone, I change all of the buttons on his car radio to my favorite station and place Hello Kitty stickers all over his truck-interior and exterior, just to annoy him.
4. I've been to Greece and Germany.
5. I was once the bathing suit centerfold model for a trade magazine for police officers. Don't even think about me posting any pix. Don't even think about it.
6. I like to watch fifties and sixties sitcoms: Leave it to Beaver, Father Knows Best, I Love Lucy, My Three Sons.
7. The day I fell in love with the captain, I felt the earth move.
Check out these seven awesome bloggers-there are tons more I could include, but seven is the magic number!
Why am I here in a handbasket

The Lipscomb men's and women's Track & Field teams combined to set 11 school records at the 2011 Atlantic Sun Conference Outdoor Championships. The meet was hosted by the University of North Florida in Jacksonville.
Dealing with difficult weather conditions of 91 degree temperatures and sustained winds of 20-30 mph, with gusts up to 40 mph, Lipscomb stepped up with an incredible meet.
The women's team raised the program to a new level. Led by two Conference Champions, the Lady Bisons posted a program best 81 points (bettering the previous best of 31 points set in 2010), and a program best 5th place team finish (better than previous best 8th place finishes in 2009 and 2010). The women alone set 8 school records, nearly missing several other school records.
Catherine Beals surprised the field in the women's 3000m steeplechase. Entering the meet ranked fourth, more than a minute behind the top ranked conference runner, Catherine ran a 28 second PR, taking the lead with a lap and a half to go, to win in 11:07.00. Catherine's time, in some of the worst windy and hot conditions, is less than 2 seconds from the Lipscomb school record.
This marks the third year in a row that a Lipscomb woman has earned All-Conference honors in the steeplechase. Catherine's time also broke the North Florida facility record. All five Lipscomb women in the steeplechase ran their all-time PR's.
O'Neisha Smith entered the meet ranked first in the high jump and did not disappoint. The two-sport athlete claimed her first ASUN crown as a freshman, winning with a leap of 5-feet 7-inches.
In the women's 100m Anna Bowers bettered her own school record with a time of 12.19. She then broke Sara Stephens 200m school record of 25.11, with a new mark of 24.84.
Sara Stephens broke her own 400m school record with a time of 56.56, which was also her all time PR.
Stephens and Bowers combined with Anika Piorkowski and Rachel Smith to break the women's 4x100m school record, with a time of 48.25.
Stephens then anchored the women's 4x400m relay to a new school record of 3:52.59. All four women on the team of Katie Bunker, Amanda Twigg, Dani Walker and Sara Stephens broke 60 seconds, with Sara anchoring in 54.4.
Dani Walker broke Amanda Twigg's school record of 4:39.45 in the 1500m, with a time of 4:38.15. Her time was a PR and good enough for second place and all-conference honors. In the same race, Amanda Twigg also ran faster than her school record, with a new PR of 4:39.38 for third place and all-conference honors.
In the field events, Taylor Mason broke Brittany Duerk's school record in the women's shot put with a four foot PR mark of 12.02m, while Anna Belner broke Taylor's school record in the pole vault with a PR and school record of 2.80m.
Dani Walker also earned all-conference honors in the 800m with a third place finish of 2:12.31. The time was her all-time PR and less than .06 of a second from the Lipscomb school record.
"The women had a terrific day!" said head coach Bill Taylor. "They stepped up big and continued our dramatic progress.
"I really lost track of all the school records, personal records, and great performances. It felt like every few minutes a new record was being set. And the great performances were across the board, in sprints, jumps, throws, distance, everywhere.
"I was surprised by some of our times too. The conditions were horrible for fast times during most of the meet. The wind was brutal and it was so hot. This builds our confidence and is another sign of what is coming.
"This has also been an amazing opportunity to represent ourselves, Lipscomb and Jesus Christ in excellence in performance, character and attitude. That's ultimately what this is really all about."
On the men's side, Lipscomb was led by all-conference performances by Dillon Seigenthaller in the Decathlon, Tucker Peabody in the sprints, and Ashton Fisher in the 3000m Steeplechase.
Dillon, in his first year of competition since he graduated from high school three years ago, earned all-conference honors with a second place finish in the event. He also broke Burton Elrod's Lipscomb decathlon record of 6067 points, with a point total of 6480. Dillon's mark was also better than the previous A-Sun Decathlon record.
To earn his all-conference honors, Dillon set new all-time PR's in eight of the ten events, including a time of 15.48 in the 110m High Hurdles, which was also a new Lipscomb school record. Dillon also came within 4 inches of a new pole vault school record.
Tucker Peabody continued his amazing freshman campaign with a new school record time of 21.27 in the men's 200m. The time bettered his own previous school record set earlier this season. Interestingly, on a brutally windy day, his time was posted in one of the few momentary lull's, with only a .06 tailwind.
Peadbody finished second in the 200m, to earn his first all-conference honors of his career. His teammate Nasheed Burgess also ran a PR of 21.88 in the event.
Peadbody and Burgess also posted new all-time PR's in the 100m of 10.59 and 10.68 respectively. Peabody's time was just .05 of a second from the current school record (set in 1976). They were joined by Mike Knox and Bobby Bassett in the men's 4x100m relay that posted a time of 41.58, a season best and just .04 of a second from the school record, also set in 1976.
Ashton Fisher earned all-conference honors in the men's 3000m steeplechase with a third place finish in 9:41.58. His place was earned despite crashing into the final barrier with 50m to go. Ashton popped up and ran down another runner for third place and his All-ASun honors.
Logan Ray set a new PR in the men's triple jump of 14.14m.
"The men did a solid job at the meet," Taylor said. "Tucker and Nasheed are really setting a great tone in the sprints. Dillon excited the whole team with his decathlon performance to start of the meet too.
"We need to work on taking it to another level, and we need a lot more out of our distance guys. It's getting better, but I want to see us step it up more and show a lot more toughness.
"All in all it was a successful day for the men and a step in the right direction."

Discovering Johannesburg lets you look at today's Africa… and tomorrow's. With economic development in full swing, continued urbanization, and a willingness to integrate different populations, the city is living now and shaping its future for later.
This tumultuous megalopolis fascinates many a traveller with its futuristic skyscrapers, its cosmopolitan population, and its effervescent cultural life. The city resembles Los Angeles with its hundreds of neighbourhoods spread out over more than 100 square kilometres. The richest city in southern Africa is also the most populated, with more than 4 million people in the municipality and 10 million in the agglomeration, accounting for nearly one in five South Africans.
Previously divided by the apartheid regime, Johannesburg has known profound change since the end of this segregationist system, change that has not come without social conflict. But in recent years the city has evolved into an example for other African nations. Multiple and changing, sometimes chaotic, a 'rainbow' in terms of its population, Johannesburg 'Jozi' or 'Joburg' for short has much to offer.
Explore the ancient history of the area just an hour to the north at the Cradle of Humankind park, where palaeontological excavations started in the 1930s. Or head out to Kruger National Park to see the famous 'Big Five': lions, leopards, elephants, rhinos, and buffaloes. The colonial era can be seen in both the Apartheid Museum, or by following in the footsteps of Nelson Mandela, affectionately known by his clan name 'Madiba', at the Mandela House. Vestiges of the more recent past can be seen in the old Central Business District, with its hundreds of Art Deco buildings, or check out the converted industrial buildings in Maboneng, Braamfontein, and 44 Stanley, where you will now find design studios, hip stores, and trendy restaurants. Discover the quiet life in the 'villages' and animated streets of Parkhurst, or stroll about the colourful markets and explore the bars and restaurants of Market Street Theatre or Melville, where you can have a drink on the rooftop. The luxury hotels and restaurants of Sandton also welcome you for a taste of the best of Johannesburg.

geotripperimages.com; somehow geotripper.com was already taken), and immediately realized I was overmatched. I can follow a template like blogger, but faced with html and utter cluelessness about web publishing, things languished. Finally, I cobbled something together and produced an earth-science based digital image site. It is still incomplete (especially in the rivers, deserts and karst areas), but there are something over 1,000 images posted so far, and the hopefully the navigation of the site is simple enough to follow.
So I welcome you to take a look at Geotripperimages.com. So far, I have extensive sections on Volcanism, Tectonic Processes, Erosional Processes, Earth Materials, and Living Things (because every picture site should have furry or scaley animals). The site is meant for free use by students, teachers and non-profits (see the Image Use Guidelines here). If there are authors or publishers who wish to use images in texts or other for-profit publications, we are happy to make them available at a very modest fee, royalty free. You can click on any of the pictures for a fuller view, and most are available at much higher resolution (contact us for more information).
Since the pictures are the work of myself and Mrs. Geotripper, there are plenty of the places in the world we haven't visited yet, so you might not always find what you are looking for. With that in mind, I've added a new sidebar to Geotripper called Geology and Earth Science Images. I've found seven really handy sites for collecting geology photos. I would be really happy to add some more, if you happen to host a site for such things (I'm mostly interested in sites that are mainly educational in nature). Here the sites (I can add others if you let me know if their existence):
- Allen Glazner's Geology Image Gallery (University of North Carolina) Allan is co-author of some great "Geology Underfoot..." guides.
- Andrew Alden's About.com Landform Picture Index Andrew Alden has been blogging about geology for longer than just about everybody, and is still going strong at http://geology.about.com//. He has put together a fine gallery of images.
- British Geological Survey Geoscenic National Archive of Geological Photographs
- Earth Science World Image Bank-AGI Many geologists have contributed photographs to this excellent image bank (6,000+ photos).
- Geology Photos: Marli Bryant Miller Marli co-wrote an excellent field guide to the geology of Death Valley, and has some excellent imagery at this site, including some spectacular aerial photography.
- Imaging Earth's Surface - University of Vermont A site devoted to geomorphology images (including around 50 of Geotripper's pictures).
- NOAA Natural Hazards Image Database
- U.S. Geological Survey Photographic Library A good place to find some of the most classic geology photos ever taken.

With a monthly stipend that she receives from the Brazilian government, Clemilda dos Santos can now keep the refrigerator stocked for her 10 kids, but life for the family is still precarious. At the top of a red clay hill in Japeri, the town with the lowest human development index in the state of Rio, the one-bedroom home she shares with her whole family still floods with rainwater. Her kids need winter coats.
In the past decade, Brazil has been touted for lifting 25 million people out of poverty, thanks to macroeconomic stability, high commodities prices, and a much hailed social program called Bolsa Familia that gives families monthly cash for families that adhere to conditions such as keeping kids in classrooms. But as the nation continues to rise – it became majority middle class in 2008, according to the Rio-based Getúlio Vargas Foundation – leaders say they are determined to do more, arguing that packed homes and uncloaked children have no place in today's economic landscape.
Now Brazil has launched another multibillion-dollar antipoverty plan, called Brazil Without Misery, to reach the remaining 16 million Brazilians still living in extreme poverty. Expanding upon Bolsa Familia, it will increase cash transfers, improve public services, and create new job opportunities for the poor. Brazil's new President Dilma Rousseff, who took office in January, says her aim is to eliminate extreme poverty within four years.
"A country that has grown like Brazil can't be content with just having a big social program like Bolsa Familia," Social Development Minister Tereza Campello said upon the launch of the new program last month.
Regional goals
That sentiment reflects rhetoric across the region. Over the past decade, the poor have been buoyed across Latin America, as nations have enjoyed sustained GDP growth and created targeted social programs like conditional cash transfers. But now goals have been set beyond poverty reduction. In the world's most unequal region, presidents from Sebastian Piñera in Chile to Felipe Calderon in Mexico are pledging to eradicate extreme poverty altogether.
"There is a sense that with Latin America growing at very high growth rates in the last decade or so, this is an opportunity to have a new social contract with people in the region," says Norbert Schady, senior economic adviser for social sectors at the Inter-American Development Bank.
The region's GDP grew by an average of 2.6 percent between 2000 and 2008, according to the World Bank. Extreme poverty has gone down from 19.4 percent in 2002 to 12.9 last year, according to the United Nations Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC). And 56 million households have joined the middle class in Latin America in the past decade and a half, according to a recent ECLAC analysis.
Bigger checks, better lives
Conditional cash transfer programs, like the one Ms. dos Santos receives in Brazil, have played an immediate role in poverty reduction. Spearheaded in Mexico and Brazil, the programs have been extended to virtually every country in Latin America today.
They have transformed towns like Japeri, more than an hour ride on a quivering and rusty train from the city of Rio de Janeiro. The town ranks at the bottom of the state's human development index, and mothers have long struggled to feed their kids or care for their sick babies. But today some 9,500 families in this town of 95,000 receive the Bolsa Familia stipends.
Marilsa Martins is one of them. Her $127 monthly check is more than she earns as an embroiderer in a good month, about $93. The mother of seven shares her own thin bed with four children. Like dos Santos, Ms. Martins will soon be receiving an additional $190 a month under a complementary state program to "Brazil Without Misery."
"My hope is to improve even more, to buy a bunk bed, to buy shoes," she says after stirring a pork and pineapple stew sent home by a daughter who works in a restaurant. The new stipend will help her pay off a loan she took out to buy a small clothes wringer for washing. "I hope in the name of Jesus that it really comes."
Helping women like Martins and dos Santos is key to the new Brazil, say officials. "Coming from the achievements we have had in the last 10 years... it is possible, viable, to define as a goal the overcoming of extreme poverty in the next four years," says Rio de Janeiro State Secretary for Social Assistance and Human Rights Rodrigo Neves.
In Chile, President Piñera has promised to overcome extreme poverty. So has Mr. Calderon in Mexico, where Oportunidades, the nation's conditional cash program, has helped millions of Mexicans. In most countries, leaders have promised to expand upon social programs to help the poor.
Politicians are responding, in part, to demands from voters. A case and point is the recent Peruvian elections, where left-leaning Ollanta Humala won the race with support from disenfranchised Peruvians who have been left behind, despite Peru's economy being the fastest-growing in Latin America. He says he wants to expand his nation's conditional cash program called Juntos, meaning "together" in Spanish.
In the beginning of the decade, candidates across the nation railed against inequality. The rhetoric came strongest from the left, led by Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, who has diverted billions into social programs for the poor. But it has evolved into a promise by the entire political spectrum: support for the poor while maintaining macroeconomic stability, the kind of governance hailed in Brazil and which Mr. Ollanta sought to model himself after.
Social programs have their critics
Some critics claim that the social programs of today are not long-term answers to achieving equality. They require that today's generation of children attend school, but the quality of the education is questionable in the most marginalized areas where social programs are concentrated.
But Brazilian economist Tiago Berriel of the Rio-based Getúlio Vargas Foundation argues that even so, the social programs provide a valuable safety net.
"The degree of poverty we're talking about is people who aren't able to eat," says Mr. Berriel. "So with the country getting richer, it is probable that we are able to eliminate extreme poverty and still have a very high level of inequality [between the rich and poor]."
Christopher Sabatini, editor-in-chief of the policy journal Americas Quarterly in New York, which is published by the Council of the Americas, says that as nations get richer, they need to start improving the quality of social services – such as health-care insurance or pensions – overall, and not just targeted, cash-based programs that are individualistic.
"People are still in very fragile socioeconomic positions," he says. "There needs to be a more broad-based social safety net."

Corn, wheat, and soybeans all closed higher on Monday. Corn strength was supported by the higher than expected export inspections this morning. The market was expecting about 11.5 million bushels and they ended up at 21.12 million. Wheat and soybeans were near their expected levels which helps explain why corn held the most strength into the closing bell.
A high pressure ridge in South America's two week forecast is also helping to support price. Dryness in Argentina is expected in the 10 day forecast while Brazil could see some harvest delays from increased precipitation in some areas. We will be monitoring these situations as the information flows in. A large enough reduction in Argentine corn production would be a chance to see another late surge in old crop US corn.
If we see harvest delays out of Brazil it could also help our soybean re-ownership strategy which is long the March-July soybean spread. As of Monday the spread settled at +25 cents. Our short term target on the spread is +45 cents which is just below the 100 and 200 day moving averages.
There are still a lot of unknowns for wheat but I believe it is the product most fundamentally supported at this point. Monday's crop ratings in Kansas were down to only 20 percent good to excellent! Weather is still dry in the US and we came into the winter with the worst crop ratings on record. We are also coming off of a major price break which brought us down to competitive prices in the world market. Wheat sales were at 572,500 MTs last week and export inspects were 22.28 million bushels, both slightly better than estimates.

Ten light industrial properties in the West Sidney industrial area are facing higher taxes if the municipality can successfully change their tax rate.
On the bright side, it could take as long as two years before the rate hike could come into effect.
Citing an imbalance between the class five (light industrial) rate and those of class six properties (business), Town of Sidney staff are recommending a shift towards bringing those two rates closer together. Had class five properties been taxed at the class six rate, according to a staff report, the town would have brought in an additional $79,500 in 2012.
"This would have allowed us to reduce the general tax increase that was applied to all property classes," stated director of corporate services Andrew Hicik in a Jan. 29 report to council.
He cites a combination of provincial tax credits, rate adjusting and no clear town policy for creating the imbalance.
"We need to have a strong economy and you can't tax your way into that," said Councillor Marilyn Loveless at council's Feb. 4 meeting.
She was, however, speaking in favour of the tax rate standardization plan. Loveless noted the town has had its own costs increased in recent years and any reduction in taxes would mean a loss of some services.
"We need to have a hard look at where the town and its residents can get the best value for their tax dollars."
Coun. Tim Chad added there's a clear difference between the class five and six tax rates and said he's convinced there needs to be a change.
Hicik's report states typical light industrial taxes in B.C. municipalities are on par or greater than business taxes. Currently, Sidney's light industrial tax is one of the lowest in the province (1.8658 times its residential rate of 2.74 per $1,000 of assessed value). In 2008, the rate was equal to the business class and affected eight properties. If the rate was increased this year, Hicik reported that it would generate an estimated $80,000 in additional revenue and reduce the projected overall tax increase in Sidney from 3.19 per cent to 2.77 per cent.
Mayor Larry Cross reminds people this is a proposed tax rate change only, and part of the town's ongoing budget talks. He said West Sidney industrial area businesses are obviously concerned with the impact of new taxation. He added, however, the town would look to improve its services to the area as a result of the additional money brought in.
Council votes to allow staff to proceed with the rate standardization plan, looking at either a one-or-two-year phase-in period.

Business and Professions Code Chapter 10, Sections 21700 -21712 establishes procedures for the owner of a self-service storage facility to give preliminary notice of lien placement, giving public notice of lien sale, the hearing on the "Declaration in Opposition to Lien Sale," and other procedures which must be followed for legal dispensation of stored goods.
If the owner of a self-service storage facility violates any of the procedures stated in the Business and Professions Code, the consumer may resort to civil procedures, such as small claims court. The consumer should report the violation to the District Attorney; If the same owner of this storage facility violates this procedure in subsequent lien placements, the action would constitute fraud and involve the District Attorney's office.

In the New York Times, Ken Belson writes about the current dysfunction surrounding the Mets, adding:
"Perhaps, more significantly, Jeff Wilpon, the man in charge of the team's off-field operations and the son of the club's majority owner, has not been heard from in months.
"In normal times, a chief operating officer's public silence would go unnoticed. On many teams, general managers do most of the talking because they are responsible for the team on a day-to-day basis. But when the problems spill off the field, higher-ranking executives often step in to clarify the team's goals and project stability… This would seem to be one of those moments."
Meanwhile, in a post to NY Baseball Digest, Mike Silva writes:
"Jeff Wilpon needs to stand up and take control of his team. Show the players, employees, and fans that there is actually some semblance of a chain of command. So far we have gotten a little spin and a lot of silence. That doesn't make me feel like we will see the right decision made. That is a huge indictment on ownership and the future of this ballclub."
…i actually agree with the team's efforts to keep wilpon more behind the scenes, and out of the public eye… frankly, if he speaks, it would only make matters worse i bet, because media and fans love to pick him apart, so no matter what he says it will likely get ripped on…
…the problem, instead, is not that we aren't hearing from wilpon, it's that Omar Minaya looked paranoid and confused when he did talk to reporters the other day… had minaya controlled the message more, been assertive and made sense, nobody would care to hear from wilpon… from a public relations point of view, this is more polictis than business… its sports… its entertainment… though it is a business, and i'm sure their back accounts can prove it, from a perception point of view, it's less GE and Exxon-Mobil and more Jon and Kate Plus Eight…

Overnight broadcast primetime ratings for Friday, November 2, 2012:
via press note:
In late-night metered-market households Friday night: *
Nielsen TV Ratings: ©2012 The Nielsen Company. All Rights Reserved.
NOTE: All ratings are "live plus same day" from Nielsen Media Research unless otherwise indicated.
Rating: Estimated percentage of the universe of TV households (or other specified group) tuned to a program in the average minute. Ratings are expressed as a percent. More information on ratings is available here.
Share (of Audience): The percent of households (or persons) using television who are tuned to a specific program, station or network in a specific area at a specific time. (See also, Rating, which represents tuning or viewing as a percent of the entire population being measured.)
Fast Affiliate Ratings: These first national ratings, including demographics, are available at approximately 11 AM (ET) the day after telecast, and are released to subscribing customers daily. These data, from the National People Meter sample, are strictly time-period information, based on the normal broadcast network feed, and include all programming on the affiliated stations, sometimes including network programming, sometimes not. The figures may include stations that did not air the entire network feed, as well as local news breaks or cutaways for local coverage or other programming. Fast Affiliate ratings are not as useful for live programs and are likely to differ significantly from the final results, because the data reflect normal broadcast feed patterns. For example, with a World Series game, Fast Affiliate Ratings would include whatever aired from 8-11PM on affiliates in the Pacific Time Zone, following the live football game, but not game coverage that begins at 5PM PT. The same would be true of Presidential debates as well as live award shows and breaking news reports.
Time Shifted Viewing – Program ratings for national sources are produced in three streams of data – Live, Live+Same Day (Live+SD) and Live+7 Day. Time shifted figures account for incremental viewing that takes place with DVRs. Live+Same Day (Live+SD) include viewing during the same broadcast day as the original telecast, with a cut-off of 3:00AM local time when meters transmit daily viewing to Nielsen for processing. Live+7 Day ratings include incremental viewing that takes place during the 7 days following a telecast.
