If PG & E customers can monitor their use of natural gas and electricity to their home computer, why not Carl my clients do the same thing, they use water?
The huge water bill accumulated leak is not visible, the four-week interval between meter readings. California AM radio read meter has been installed, why should not a cheap device will allow water users to see the final bill, because they are with how much water?
Home computers and smart phones can be programmed to remind customers when their water usage exceeds the standard.
If CAL I can not find the resources to help solve this recurring problem a little bit of technology, perhaps our Water Management District to help prove its existence.

Carl morning charging out of control
Maybe this is just me thinking this is crazy, but why in the world should be a privately owned power companies charge the customer losses in 2007-2011 - some customers may even Karl was because my client company's own policies , to alleviate people's hardship, a the unknown leakage customer charges. Corporate social responsibility and ethics, where?
The companies in the third quarter of 2012, operating income of over 80 billion U.S. dollars, revenue of $ 219 million a year, so far this year, an increase of 32.3% of the California rate views

8% rate of return on equity.
If this is the case, then I like when Cal profit, these should be returned to the customer credit on their bills.
Carl I was seriously out of control, and hope that someone would go to the bottom of the outrageous bills and illegal business management.

Obama's victory, the Republican Party should not be surprised,
As a former registered Republican and independent firm, I have some uneasy during the campaign spent on election night.
Wiped away the evening progress, I changed the channel Fox "Business News", "spun into legend in real time to see the facts!"
Now, a week later, I am more troubled by the Republican Party and the media why such assessment. Voters with "slice and dice" misses the point, our obsession. The reason so many non-whites to vote for Obama, he is like them, they want to remain on the dole. Democratic Party news is (1) to honor the family unit, no matter what it is, (2) get a better, more powerful lifelong education; (3) work hard, pay taxes; (4) health care benefits free, modern society; (5) the government should stay out of my personal space; (6) how did you find here is not important, it is important to help you become a knowledgeable, production, patriotic citizens, as well as the most important (7) Government has an important role to ensure a fair and competitive environment, defend our shores, to protect vulnerable groups and provide services that can not be done by individuals.
Karl Rove and the bill of goods sold to a lot of wealthy people, to spread their "news" channel. In fact, some people are dumbfounded, the breadth of Obama's victory can only expose their myopia news gathering process.

Wrote to the editor section in the November 18, Thomas Lux, believe in miracles, prompting the title of editor, I do not know if this letter edit the title if you believe in his letter, "miracles are real." " former believers become atheists. "
Yes! As a former Catholic, I believe the I priests and nuns not only in miracles, but all told me to believe.
Well, what happened to turn me into a like Leimaiersi demolition lie, who criticized Thomas' first attempt to convince Herald readers Blessed Virgin Mary has created a miracle, causing the sun to defy the forces of nature in Fatima in 1917?
Two miracles occurred before I again become believers.
The first occurred in the religious section of the "Herald" a news report said, atheism, Religion Foundation sued the IRS for tax exemption of church involvement in political activities complaints are ignored. Herald published a letter the second miracle, for me, may occur.

The moral story of Fatima is to obey your mother
Sun May 13, 1917, the "miracle" happened, Fatima in Portugal. Nothing happened to fulfill the Virgin to two specific requirements: (1) Russia's devotion to her Immaculate Heart, and (2) the message by the Pope after 1960 will be revealed to the world. As for Russia, the Church insists that no dedication, on two different occasions, but Russia has never been particularly named Mary requirements are basically still is not completed.
Therefore, her second request, issued by the "third secret" by the Vatican and maintain strict suppression. Leak, said the expected sharp decline in the church, because of the "top", a serious scandal, almost rotting Pope will be announced on the eve of the Second Vatican Ecumenical Council.
Thus, 50 years after the Second Vatican Council, we now celebrate, "What? Catastrophic fall from grace marked sex scandal, the "modernist" Catholic promulgated the "unity" of the First Commandment of God insult.
This is super Ironically, the church mess modernism soup, to sell its soul "relevant" is completely irrelevant. Moral of the story it? Obey your mother.

Many of the external device is the target of natural lightning. Solar power installations, and mobile satellite antenna, gas metering station, logistics staging area, pumping systems and command center vehicles only fragile assets. PLP-Series lightning mast fixed and portable style, in order to protect the system of all types of risk. The UL listed the streamer fire retarding air terminal PLP mast has proved effective heat lightning costs, but can also safely lightning discharge termination. Unlike traditional lightning rod, and is independent of the PLP is responsible for elimination lightning mast provide a conical protected; shielded car combustible materials, equipment, electronic products, from the discharge and wiring.
"With the combination of air conditioning the end and streamer heat technology PLP lightning mast provides an unmatched lightning strike vulnerable asset package, said:" LBA Chief Technology Officer Dr. Chris Horn, PE. "A lot of customers like the fact that the PLP mast, but very easy to deploy."

BankersAccuity Launches KYC Report to Address Know Your Customer Compliance
BankersAccuity today announced the launch of KYC Report, a Know Your Customer (KYC) due diligence solution that provides details on financial counterparties including sanctions data, headline financials, proprietary ownership information, an overview of key anti-money laundering (AML) document availability, board member details and more.
KYC Report gathers information across the entire suite of BankersAccuity solutions, including Bankersalmanac.com, Credit Risk and the Due Diligence Repository. Financial institutions are required to compile extensive information on counterparties as part of their review and on-boarding procedures, but are often faced with two key challenges: freeing up the resources needed to compile the information and ensuring the completeness and accuracy of the data. As a result, these institutions often rely on overqualified internal resources to do this work, leading to higher operational costs.
With KYC Report, BankersAccuity makes the data gathering process much more timely, comprehensive and extremely cost-effective. This solution brings together definitive data that encompasses all due diligence needs, including screening against not only the source entity but ownership and key management as well. As a result, banks can share information faster with key stakeholders in legal, AML, and risk and compliance to speed determinations about on-boarding or continuing counterparty relationships. At the same time, customers are assured that the data they are using to drive decision-making processes comes from a trusted single source.
“In this era of heightened risk and regulation, BankersAccuity is committed to providing financial institutions with the tools they need to help them effectively know who they are doing business with and minimize risk,” said Hugh Jones, President and CEO of BankersAccuity. “By leveraging the vast resources and innovative technology of Accuity and Bankers Almanac, KYC Report from BankersAccuity allows institutions to limit the potential for fines and reputational damage in an efficient and cost-effective manner.”
To learn more about KYC Report visit BankersAccuity at Sibos stand #4D19 or visit the BankersAccuity website. To stay in touch with BankersAccuity follow @BankersAccuity on Twitter or join us on LinkedIn.

Interiors With Elegances Provides New Extended Quote Process to Help Overwhelmed Homeowners
Renovating is a favourite project of my homeowners. Whether it is the bathroom, kitchen, living room or basement it is always an adventure and deciding on colours and textures and fixtures and furnishings can occupy huge portions of the planning phase and never get boring.
As enjoyable as this process is for many people, there can also be a dark side to the initial free-for-all of choices and perspectives at the beginning of a renovation project. Eventually homeowners begin to realize that whatever they choose they are going to be leaving at least ten great options behind, and having to determine which flooring or which wallpaper is absolutely the best choice can be very difficult, let alone coming up with a solution to the overall layout or blueprint of the renovated space.
This is where a professional renovations contractor often comes in handy, but the process of working with a conventional renovations contractor on small home renovations projects is not always as interactive as it needs to be enact a viable plan. A contractor that is only interested in giving a rough estimate of what a project will cost, and won’t begin to discuss the intricate details and plans of the project until they have a client’s business can be a difficult type of enterprise to work with.
At Interiors With Elegance, the quote process has just been updated and revised. Now this Calgary bathroom renovations contractor is offering an extended process that includes more specific mockups of the proposed work, and a lengthier consultation process for more precise results. Instead of minimizing or truncating the initial consultation process it has become as maximized and protracted as possible, so that homeowners have plenty of time to talk with a wide variety of professionals about exactly what type of plan is going to be effective for their space.
This Calgary basement renovations consultation includes the input of many different types of renovations professionals, and culminates in a detailed quote and plan for the prospective project. All of this is done with no strings attached and is simply this contractor’s way of becoming introduced. The process is specifically designed to cut back on some of the initial confusion and anxiety that can occur when a homeowner is faced with the sheer plenitude of options at their disposal.
Interiors With Elegance also offers a wide variety of products and enables those looking to do renovations to take on the project for themselves. Either way a lengthy consultation can be a great way to get a better understanding of the overall plan and to ensure the success of the renovations.

Canadian Companies Who Struggle with Marketing Can Grow Their Sales Dramatically Using Proven Strategies from New B2B Marketing Guide – ‘Market Smart’
Business to business marketing specialist Lisa Shepherd today announced the launch of ‘Market Smart: How to Gain Customers and Increase Profits with B2B Marketing'. It’s a book for B2B companies who want to grow sales and need help with their marketing to achieve that goal. Market Smart is geared towards small and mid-sized Canadian B2B companies that don’t have the knowledge and experience to get the word out about their products and services.
“Canadian business to business companies are excellent at what they do technically,” says Shepherd. “But when it comes to telling the world about what they do and how it benefits their customers, that’s where many falter. They don’t have that American brashness – shouting from the rooftops isn’t in their Canadian DNA, and they end up selling themselves short. To put in bluntly, many Canadian B2Bs suck at marketing and Market Smart can help them improve and grow their businesses.”
For many B2B organizations – especially those in traditional industries - marketing isn’t a core competency or something that’s in their comfort zone. Twenty years ago, B2B companies didn’t have to market like today. They attended a few trade shows, employed a couple of capable sales people, and they were all set. But with global competition and new ways of doing business, B2B companies have to get smart about marketing to enhance awareness of their products and services, gain new customers and increase profits. Marketing has become a matter of survival.
Companies know they need to market, but many don’t know where to start. Market Smart is written for them. It’s an easy read that’s heavy on practical and executable ideas. It offers expertise, examples and insights for companies that don’t have marketing experts in their ranks.
Shepherd’s book isn’t for companies with multi-million dollar marketing budgets. It’s for those who have never had a defined marketing plan, or even a dedicated marketer. It’s for leaders of B2B companies who wear the marketing hat for their business, whether they want to or not. And it’s for administrators and coordinators who aren’t trained marketers, but end up in that role by delegation.
In this comprehensive guide, you’ll learn how to:
Develop a B2B marketing strategy with a practical 3-step process
Identify what B2B customers really want and what will make your company stand out
Choose the right B2B marketing tactics for your organization
Create a realistic action plan
Set goals
Budget and manage your B2B marketing activities
Implement effectively
“If marketing is not your area of expertise, but is one of your roles, this is your book,” says Shepherd. “I like to think of it as a smorgasbord of useful information for executives, administrators, even engineers who are responsible for marketing their companies but haven’t had time to train and learn this critical specialty skill.”
Market Smart includes snippets and guidance geared to the non-marketer. Without going into too much detail on any one topic, it offers a helpful overview of everything you need to know to effectively communicate your message to the people that need to hear it.

Calllocato’s Phone-Scam Survey Names Grandparent Scam as Most Frequent in the U.S.
A recent survey conducted by Calllocato a reverse-phone-number-lookup company, reveals that the most frequently occurring phone scam in the U.S. this year, is the ‘relative in distress’ scam. Senior citizens are targeted most often, and hence this scam has also come to be known as the ‘grandparent scam’. The next most notorious scam as indicated by the survey is the ‘phishing scam’, where an imposter, supposedly calling on behalf of a reputed company/government-agency, tries eliciting personal information from unsuspecting victims. This particular scam has been directed at people, both young and old, and eventually leads to ID thefts.
Sweepstakes scams take the third place in the survey. These scams involve callers asking for a small sum of money for sending over a hefty prize to a winner - the victim - for a sweepstakes/lottery entry.
Impersonation scams come a close fourth in the survey. In such scams, the caller claims to represent a service provider (mostly the electricity board. Sometimes the water board, or even the phone provider), telling the victim that he’s due for a payment, failing which the service would be cut-off. Debt collection and outstanding loan payment scams follow in line, as the next most common scam. The caller mostly assumes the guise of a police officer or debt collection officer who threatens to arrest the victim, if he didn’t pay the outstanding amount.
A total of 100 scams that occurred in the year 2012, were taken into consideration in this survey. Among the scams that were considered, the state of California had the most number of phone scam occurrences reported. The state of Wisconsin came next, in the list.
Microsoft was the most quoted company in phishing/ID-theft scams, where the caller tells the victim that he’s a Microsoft representative and that there’s a problem with the victim’s computer. The caller then gets the victim to enable remote access on his computer, on the pretext of fixing the problem. Power supply companies such as Southwestern Electric Power Company (SWEPCO), Indiana Michigan Power, Southern Pioneer Electric Company, MidAmerican Energy Company and Los Angeles Department of Water and Power were among others that were quoted in outstanding-bill-payment scams.
Seasonal scams were found to dominate the period before a particular season/event. Tax related phone scams were on a peak in the month of April, when the income tax returns were filed. Election related telephone scams are on the rise at present, on account of the ensuing (November) Presidential elections. In these scams, people are being dissuaded from going to poll booths on election day to avoid standing in long lines to cast their vote. They are instead being asked to vote through their phones.
New Scams of 2012 as per the Survey
A new kind of scam that was reported from Eagle County, Colorado, is supposedly making rounds across the country. The caller who claimed to be a 9-1-1 dispatcher, called the victim in the middle of the night to check if all was well, citing that numerous calls were received by 9-1-1 from that particular phone number. Once the victim confirmed that everything was fine, the caller proceeded to ask questions such as “How many people reside in the house”, “Are you alone”, “Is there a security system in place”, “Who services the security system” and so on. No other personal information such as bank details or Social Security Number, was asked. This is reportedly indicative of the caller’s intention to burgle the house.
The survey mentions about scams using the name of President Obama. Some scams tell the victims that the government will be paying their bills, or that the President has approved a special funding for them. The Affordable Care Act, which was signed into law by President Obama in March 2010 to combat healthcare frauds, is being used for phishing and ID theft scams too. Incidents had been reported from Phoenix where a caller who claimed to be a government official, asked for personal information from locals.
Another new scam that was reported occurred in Durham, North Carolina. In this scam the caller told the victim - an employee of a particular firm - that the manager of the firm had been arrested and that the employee had been given permission to access and transfer money from the company’s funds for releasing the manager.
Other scams that occurred but were not very prevalent are:-

The GoNow eWallet Card: an All-in-One Credit, Debit, Loyalty and Gift Card that Enables eWallets to Work Everywhere -- Card Breaks Mobile Payment Adoption Barriers
Digital Life Technologies’ GoNow eWallet “super smart” card offers an answer to the mobile payment adoption problem because it breaks through every barrier that’s slowed eWallet adoption in the US market. The GoNow eWallet card, a reprogrammable magnetic stripe card that receives commands from your eWallet via any mobile phone, is now in pilots with two customers—one, a major bank; the other, a direct-to consumer eWallet issuer.
Digital Life Technologies has developed a “super smart” card that is programmed by an eWallet and can be swiped at all existing POS terminals and ATMs without any change to existing payment infrastructure or tapped at contactless terminals. The GoNow eWallet card can become any credit, debit, loyalty or stored value card in a consumer’s eWallet “on the fly.” It is easy to add cards from a physical wallet to an eWallet by means of a Magnetic Stripe Card reader that connects through the phone’s audio jack. GoNow eWallet card works on smartphones and integrates with any eWallet by means of an API. The card includes its own secure element and a battery that lasts for up to three years. It does not require charging or a special case.
Digital Life Technologies built a secure element into the GoNow Card to give banks and technology companies with plans to launch an eWallet more options and control plus help them get to market faster. This solution gives banks and technology companies control of their data. It also removes the need for a TSM (Trust Service Manager) in order to launch an eWallet. The GoNow secure element is flexible. It can be used instead of, or in addition to, a secure element in the phone or the cloud. Whatever the secure element solution, the eWallet issuer now has a choice.
There are two additional barriers that the GoNow eWallet card is designed to overcome—branding and revenue generation. The GoNow card is white labeled and allows the company launching an eWallet to keep its own brand front and center. And, it can begin generating revenue immediately because it is easy to deploy and has universal acceptance. But the GoNow card can do even more. It can, with a single swipe, function for consumers as a coupon redemption platform.
"Our vision is to allow consumers to replace their physical wallet with an electronic wallet application on their mobile phone along with the GoNow eWallet card. Consumers will be able to redeem coupons by tapping the phone or swiping the GoNow Card. They will also be able to pay everywhere they shop with their mobile phone." says Doug Spodak, CEO of Digital Life Technologies.
The eWallet market is evolving rapidly and the GoNow eWallet card is poised to play a vital role. Because of all the barriers it overcomes, this product fulfills the promise of an eWallet that works everywhere to drive mass market adoption.
The GoNow eWallet Card will be commercially available by the end of Q1 2013. Digital Life Technologies is accepting volume orders now.
