Bizo, Inc. Privacy Policy
As of December 13, 2012
Bizo, Inc. ("Bizo") is a provider of business targeting technologies and services to online marketers and Web sites and considers the protection of your privacy and full disclosure of the use of your information to be of utmost importance. We operate services relating to the Bizographic Targeting Network (BTN), an online advertising network for business marketers and Web sites. This Privacy Policy has been created to describe and disclose how we use and collect user data in order to provide these services. While reading this document, if you have any questions, or become hopelessly bored and are unable to continue, please feel free to contact us at email@example.com or at the address listed below.
The Tenets of our Business
Since we operate a business that utilizes information about people, we are sensitive to the requirements of trust and responsibility that this demands. We have developed the following tenets that are shared with all of our employees, partners and users and that pervade our business and privacy policies and practices from top to bottom:
- Be honest
- Be open
- Be trustworthy
- Be fun
Of course, we're self-policed! If at any time you believe we are not upholding these principles, please feel free to contact our CEO, Russell Glass at (415) 335-4054.
Data Collection and Usage
Bizo has developed a proprietary technology that converts and optimizes information about business people into non-personally identifiable business demographic segments called Bizographics. This information includes, but is not limited to, information such as industry, company size, functional area, seniority, location and gender.
Personal Information and Registration Data
"Personal Information" is data about you that is personally identifiable like your address, email address, or phone number. As part of providing services relating to the BTN, Bizo may collect, host and manage the Personal Information that our Web site partners have collected from their sites. This data is the property of the particular Web site partner who is collecting such information and is subject to its privacy policy. Bizo will not use this data in any way that is not authorized by that partner. Bizo never shares or distributes Personal Information about people who interact with any of the BTN partner sites. In certain instances, a Bizo advertiser may associate Personal Information (which the advertiser has collected directly from you) with a Bizo cookie for ad targeting purposes. In all such instances, Bizo shall contractually require such advertisers to ask for and receive your explicit Opt-In consent before doing so, as is required to be in compliance with the cross-industry Self-Regulatory Program of Online Behavioral Advertising managed by the Digital Advertising Alliance.
In order to make use of certain Bizo products and services you may be required to register as a user via the Bizo Web site. From time to time, we may use your personal email address to send you information and keep you informed of products and services in which you might be interested. You will always be provided with an opportunity to modify or opt-out of receiving such information. Your contact information may also be used to reach you regarding issues concerning your use of Bizo services or the Bizo Web site, including changes to this privacy policy.
Some partner Web sites or advertisements on the network may collect additional information about you - for example through registration - for activities such as access to premium content or in order to fulfill offers such as email newsletter subscriptions or whitepaper access. This information sometimes includes Personal Information such as your name, address or phone number, as well as bizographic information such as domain, title, company name, industry or zip code. To refine the targeting of ads that are most appropriate for you, Bizo may access the information that may have been collected in a registration environment to convert into anonymous Bizographic segments. However, Bizo never uses Personal Information such as name, address or phone number for these purposes. If an email address is given, Bizo will always convert it into non-personally identifiable segment information before using it for any targeting purposes.
Non-Personally-Identifiable Information (Non-PII)
When you are on one of the BTN partner Web sites, the BTN may collect certain Non-PII about you, including but not limited to your browser type and your operating system. In addition, the sites in the network collect information about your browsing behavior, such as the date and time you visit the Web sites, the ads that were on pages you visited, and other click-stream data, none of which includes Personal Information about you. Finally, the BTN may collect Non-PII about your IP address, such as where your computer is located or what domain it is using to access the internet.
In order to serve targeted business ads, Bizo will temporarily assemble non-personal, bizographic, demographic, behavioral and technical information to create large targeted audience segments. These segments represent data that has been aggregated into large anonymous groupings. After the ad or ads have been served, only aggregate segment level data is retained by Bizo.
Bizo may also share non-personally identifiable data with third party partners such as ad networks, data management platforms, DSPs and others to help them present, better target and measure the effectiveness of their advertisements. Bizo does not provide any Personal Information to partners or marketers at any time, including when you interact with or view a targeted advertisement.
To make certain that ads served by Bizo are targeted correctly, partner Web sites in the network place Bizo data tags on their sites. These tags are not personally identifiable nor do they collect Personal Information. They are used to match user browsing behavior to an anonymous audience segment profile designated for targeting ads to users.
Customer Information
Prospective customers (Web sites and online marketers) can go to http://www.bizo.com to provide their contact information to learn more and to be contacted by a Bizo representative. Bizo or its partners reserve the right to use this information for business purposes such as responding to the request, marketing and research. Bizo or its partners will not use this information for other purposes or share this information with other companies.
Many Web sites, including those participating in the BTN, set "cookies" on your computer. Similarly, in some instances, cookies may also be distributed via e-mails. Cookies are small packets of data stored on your computer that allow sites to recognize the computer when you revisit the site. The site uses this cookie to provide services such as auto login, information delivery and to better understand how you are interacting with the site. These cookies enable sites to customize the site as well as the advertisements to your needs and interests, so that they can be as valuable and relevant to you as possible.
We have implemented a strict cookie data policy and process around data retention. Bizo cookies are automatically deleted from your PC after six months of inactivity. Aggregate user data such as impressions, clicks and conversions are stored for up to five years for reporting purposes only.
You are always free to decline cookies, and by doing so you may not be able to use certain features on certain Web sites or take full advantage of all the offerings and targeted advertising on such Web sites. You can configure your browser to accept all cookies, reject all cookies, erase cookies, or notify you when a cookie is set.
Bizo is a member of the Network Advertising Initiative ("NAI") and complies with all NAI standards. To learn more about the use of cookies for targeting and to opt out of data collection and targeting cookies from Bizo or other ad networks, click here. Alternatively, you may click here to opt-out of data collection and targeting cookies from Bizo only. This will result in your inability to benefit from many of the Bizo features described above. Note that if you change computers or browsers, or use multiple computers or browsers, you will need to repeat the opt-out process for each computer and each browser.
Disclosure of Information
Non-personal information may be transferred or disclosed by Bizo to the following entities for the following purposes: (1) to our partner Web sites to segment and target relevant advertisements and/or content to you; (2) to entities authorized to handle data such as our employees, independent contractors, subsidiaries, partners, consultants, acquirers, business associates, service providers and suppliers (though such disclosure would be made only to enable these entities to perform a business, professional or technical support function for us); and (3) to respond to judicial process and provide information to law enforcement agencies or in connection with an investigation on matters related to public safety, as permitted by law, or otherwise as required by law.
Compliance with Digital Advertising Alliance
Bizo uses Evidon, a third party assurance service to comply with the cross-industry Self-Regulatory Program for Online Behavioral Advertising managed by the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) (http://www.aboutads.info). As part of this service Bizo's online advertisements and Web sites are sometimes delivered with icons that help consumers understand how their data is being used and provide choice options to consumers that want more control.
Compliance with COPPA
Bizo complies with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (COPPA) and does not knowingly collect Personal Information from children under the age of thirteen (13).
Compliance with Safe Harbor Frameworks
Bizo complies with the U.S.-EU Safe Harbor Framework and the U.S.-Swiss Safe Harbor Framework as set forth by the U.S. Department of Commerce regarding the collection, use, and retention of Personal Information from European Union member countries and Switzerland. Bizo has certified that it adheres to the Safe Harbor Privacy Principles of notice, choice, onward transfer, security, data integrity, access, and enforcement. To learn more about the Safe Harbor program, and to view Bizo's certification, please visit http://www.export.gov/safeharbor. Furthermore, Bizo (1) will cooperate with the European Union Data Protection Agencies ("DPAs") in the investigation and resolution of complaints brought under the Safe Harbor, and (2) will comply with any advice given by the DPAs where the DPAs take the view that Bizo needs to take specific action to comply with the Safe Harbor Principles, including remedial or compensatory measures for the benefit of individuals affected by any non-compliance with the Principles, and will provide the DPAs with written confirmation that such action has been taken.

I have a client with AutoCAD Map 3D 2011 with an OLE DB Provider for SQL Server Data Source and a dbConnect link template connecting to the database.
Normally, when an object that is linked to the database via the link template is selected, the data from the linked table appears in the properties palette. Recently a change what made to the table (view) that the link template and the Link template no longer appears. The view was restored to its original state, but the link table still is not visible.
If the data source is disconnected via the task pane, the link template reappears (with only the key showing, of course). The data can still be seen via the link template "View Linked Table" context-sensitive menu in the task pane so the link still remains.
I have disconnected, deleted, and rebuilt the data source, but it has not helped and I cannot delete the link template as there are several thousand objects linked via the template.
Any help is appreciated.

In your shoes, I wouldn't try to repair anything, sir.
Rebuilding the links of some thousand objects is a matter of minutes, so my advice is: start over with a clean _ADEGENLINK
Thanks for the quick reply. Can you point me to some documentation that can help me rebuild this Link Template?
torentrue wrote:Can you point me to some documentation that can help me rebuild this Link Template?
As already said, I would forget the old link template, starting over with a brand new one: make a _WBLOCK of the only geometry, ensure that every closed object has an unique ID drawn inside, and connect them to the database.
As much as it pains me to report this, the whole problem was that the key in the database table (view) had been removed so the Link template had nothing to "Key" on. All is now right in the world.
Thanks for your help!
Without IDs drawn, there's only one way to link to the DB records, i.e. by means of the Object Data: what you see if you check the properties of a closed poly?

I noticed that the command post for the Medicine Park fire has been set up at the intersection of Hwy 58 and 4Mile road. That's good news for me, since I used to live right at that intersection, just up the hill in the log home. I guess that means all the neighbors down to TackleBox road are still ok.
I was wondering if you keep me posted if the fire jumps the roads and starts burning that section. I'm sort of emotionally attached to that log home and have several friends in the area whom I've lost touch with. Thanks! |

Tracey, I'll do my best. I'll watch the news reports and see what I can glean from them later this afternoon. We have several forum members who live near Lawton, although some of them don't post here very often. I hope they're alright. That's one of my favorite parts of the state---I love how wild and rugged the area is. (sigh) Wild and rugged is hard on firefighters. There are fires everywhere today including near Shawnee. I am afraid this is just the beginning. Dawn |

I'm going to walk you through what I imagine might have been the thought process/creative storyboarding for this new Indian-themed* music video from Australian rapper/singer Iggy Azalea.

During the last 6 months, I have focused my energy on exploring areas in my life that, while working, I did not have time to pursue. The primary venture has been my interest in genealogy. This blog, a suggestion from my career coach, has been one manifestation of this effort and one which I have thoroughly enjoyed as it brings in my love of writing as well. Another activity has been volunteering at the Holyoke Public Library's Holyoke History Room. The public library itself is going through major renovations downtown (due to be finished this fall and promises to be quite a positive venture for the city), so the greater part of the library's collection has been moved to the Holyoke City Hall. But the History Room has been living at the Holyoke Community College Library and that is where I have been volunteering two days a week since March.
If you love genealogy and have the time, I recommend getting involved in your local library, especially if it is in the city or town where your family settled. Even if it isn't, the benefits of learning about history from the point of view of the patrons is invaluable. I have posted before that I had little involvement with my hometown. I feel I have some catching up to do as a Holyoker. It has been really interesting researching questions from patrons in areas that I never would have explored. The research fills out my understanding of the city's history. Not only that, but the History Room has wonderful archival collections from the city. There are amazing 19th century photographs, scrapbooks, donated items from family collections, and local histories written by native Holyokers. The History Room's archivist who is not from Holyoke, knows more about the city than I do and is teaching me a great deal.
While there, as a volunteer, I help to preserve old books by placing them in archival boxing. As I take each book, I marvel at the information inside each one. Sometimes I slow my pace to carefully peruse the contents. I learn something new every time. I take questions from visitors and try to help them find resources. Then I watch them have the same awe at touching history as I do. Yesterday, someone asked for a picture of a train station in Holyoke. Seems mundane enough… The picture that was found was a stunning picture taken in 1881 oriented from a high point in the Flats straight up Dwight Street towards the City Hall. If you looked carefully, you could see several horse and buggys parked on the streets. The streets were not yet paved and the sidewalks appeared to be wooden. No pedestrians…and I am told that pictures of city streets often looked deserted because the people were moving and the cameras of the day could not capture them due to the longer exposure, so people in the picture "disappear". Fascinating…I love this stuff. I never would have asked for a picture of a train station…but I am glad someone else did so I could see my hometown from high above Dwight Street and how the city looked when my great grandfather travelled through it.

This website explores the creative variables of photography, one at a time, to see how each works.
Explore this site any way you like: click a navigation item at the left to open up a topic, or click the photos above to jump in at random. There is also a help page on using the comparison pages, which are fun but slightly tricky at first.
I taught photography and wished there was a site like this, so I developed this one. I used a single subject — a woman named Nicole Pierce — for almost every image, so there is consistency as we look at creative options.
Many pages on the site have audio with me narrating. Audio is set to play when you first arrive, but you can turn it on or off, sitewide, on every page. User testing shows that you get a much richer experience if you listen while you explore the images.

This story was written by Melvin J. Doyle, from Halifax, Nova Scotia. Melvin is a student at the Halifax North Public Library where he meets with his tutor Kit Waters, every week.
When I got to the new house I was surprised how good it looked like on the inside compared to the outside. The rooms were much bigger – the dining room and living room. It was Andrea and Connie Dennis, the administrator from Metro Housing, who showed us around in the new house. The kitchen was much smaller than North Street but it was set up good.
John had to pick out his own room and I picked out mine which was the master bedroom that was the biggest room in the upstairs of the house. John was going to pick the master bedroom, but I got it instead because my music is not as loud.
Altogether there are 6 bedrooms. There's also another lady that may be coming to stay with us and she is a nice lady. She's older than me and John so she just might put us in our place! She likes to write poems and Andrea told her that I like to write stories too. I think that this lady will be a good idea to be room-mates with me and John.
Andrea and I are going to pick up some pictures for the walls. Andrea wanted to be a decorator. She is looking forward to help me with decorating my room. So I'm very pleased with that.

Along with the hat boxes, I made this 3-D star for another sister. I found the pattern on a site that I have the link to. You'll need to enlarge it. I had to trim it up after I took the photo :D
I need some more ideas for these maps. I'll be looking around the web :D Check out my blog, links and photos are there. Cherry/Kudzu |

Hope you are recovered !!! Love your hat boxes, they turned out great. They will look store bought or better with cord added.Those are great maps, lots of color! The star is lovely you could add a hanger of little piece or 1/8 ribbon on back of 1 point about inch down so it wouldn't even show when hanging up on wall or she could use it in a standing pic. easel & have it sit on a desk!! Lovely gift!!! Jan |

Hi there, fig lovers,
I have 2 figs that broke dormancy early, and despite my best efforts to harden off and expose them slowly to sunlight, the leaves are distressed, probably from photo-oxidation. Some are falling off, but i see no new leaves forming to take their place. In another post, I read about seaweed emulsion to help with the stress. What else should i be putting on the containers at this point to help? I'm brand new at this, and I'd hate to lose these! thanks,

If you're interested in what happens during photo-oxidation: high light intensity levels w/o adequate amounts of protective pigments present can cause chlorophyll molecules to rise to a more excited state than normal. If light levels are high enough, the energy that is released as electrons in molecules return to their normal energy state may be sufficient to form oxygen (O2) radicals from regular O2. These O2 radicals are extremely reactive particles that readily destroy chlorophyll molecules. (This is the same O- radical that causes rapid oxidation [bleaching] in organic molecules when we apply H2O2 [hydrogen peroxide]). Evidence of the process is seen in a bleached or whitish appearance of the leaves, and is often referred to as peroxidation. I'm sorry to say so, but seaweed emulsion isn't going to alleviate the stress. Here is what happened: Your tree used a fair amount of it's energy reserves to push the flush of foliage that was lost to sunburn. Your tree is like a battery in the spring - it has a finite amount of stored energy. There is no way to tell if, after having lost all or a part of the initial flush of foliage, the tree will have enough energy to push a second flush. If all of the leaves are not involved, your tree will almost assuredly recover and be fine by late summer, assuming everything else is OK. If all the leaves abscise, you might be able to judge the likelihood of recovery if you think back to how the tree was growing just before it entered dormancy. If it was robust and growing well, it will probably be able to push another flush, but if it was stressed and just struggling along, the odds are reduced considerably. Fertilizers and 'tonics' aren't the answer. The tree, lacking ALL foliage, would only be able to produce a minuscule amount of photosynthate - that which the tree is capable of producing in young bark tissue, and will be depending (virtually) entirely on stored energy reserves rather than current photosynthate production. If some of the leaves remain viable, the tree will have the benefit of current photosynthate production PLUS its reserves - so the odds of a quick recovery go way up. Be patient. Put the tree in the shade and gradually expose it to longer periods of sun. I explained in another post why some leaves that flushed under extremely low light conditions cannot adapt to high photo-intensity levels, and why some leaves that flushed under high light levels will simply be shed under reduced photo-intensity/photo-period in another post not too long ago. I think it was on this forum, but I'm not sure. If I had to bet, I'd bet on the natural vigor with which figs are endowed to pull it through. I'm sure all of us wish you well. ;o) Al |

Health coverage can help you get health and mental health services and protect you from high medical bills. The Affordable Care Act (ACA) is bringing changes to make health easier to get, more comprehensive and more affordable. Explore this section to learn more about the ACA, the types of health care coverage, mental health services and customer protections that will help you get more from your coverage.
The American health care system is a combination of public and private programs and financing mechanisms. Most Americans get private health insurance through their job while a number of federal, state and local strategies are used to cover health costs for Americans who do not get individual or employer sponsored private health coverage.
Learn more about how health and mental health care is covered today.
The health reform law, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA), offers new choices for quality, reliable, low cost private health insurance and opens Medicaid to more people living with mental illness. The health reform law requires most Americans to have health insurance, but also makes it easier to get and more affordable. In 2014 uninsured Americans will be able to buy a private insurance plan that meets their health care and financial needs through online state health insurance marketplaces. In addition, Medicaid will be expanded to ensure coverage for Americans with lower incomes.

Help is on the way for millions of uninsured veterans and their families. The Veterans Health Administration (VHA) has seen a dramatic increase in demand for mental health care yet veteran status, service related disability, income level and distance from VHA facilities leave many without access to care. Veterans who are uninsured or underinsured will see more choices for expanded mental health care.

Nearly one in three Latinos in the U.S. are uninsured. Some people will have access to health insurance and others will not, however. Most immigrants will qualify for health insurance and the same choices available to other citizens. Undocumented immigrants will not qualify for insurance.

The health reform law requires most Americans to have health coverage beginning in 2014. If you like the coverage you have now, you can keep it. If you and your family are covered through an employer or individual health plan, Medicaid, Medicare, CHIP, TRICARE or the VA, you will meet the requirement as having insurance. If you do not have coverage, you will need to get insurance or pay a tax penalty unless your income is too low to qualify for help to buy insurance and you do not qualify for Medicaid.
Currently, private health insurance is often costly, hard to get and may not cover needed care. The health reform law requires health insurance companies to follow new rules to deliver fair and dependable coverage. There are many protections in place to ensure that individuals and families are cared for in their health insurance policies. Each state is developing their response to the law through a variety of strategies, including the development of state health insurance marketplaces, and in some cases, the expansion of Medicaid. Individuals should begin to learn what protections are in place and what to expect now and in the future as the law is implemented fully.
Learn more about how the health reform law protects you.
The health reform law lays out rules for insurance plans that are intended to help you access the care you need. These are called essential benefits and there are mental health benefits that must be offered in all health insurance plans. There are 10 Essential Health Benefits that are important to understanding what will be mandatory in new insurance plans that begin in 2014.
Medicaid is a federal/state health financing program that pays for nearly half of all public mental health care. At first, the health reform law required all states to expand Medicaid based on income, but a 2012 Supreme Court decision made Medicaid expansion optional for states. The discussions and decisions about whether to expand and what that looks like is being determined by each state, through the state Governor's office and the state Legislature.
The outcome of this decision will have a significant impact on not only the individual citizens of each state but to the health care system overall. As of May 2013, these discussions and decisions have been resolved in some states but the debate and outcomes remain in-flux in other states.

In Victoria Park, where original homes were almost exclusively single-story, the emergence of two-story homes and three-story townhomes has changed the scale and feel dramatically. The townhomes, with a more imposing footprint, sometimes do the most damage to the neighborhood's fabric. A 1920s home with guest cottages at NE 15th Avenue and Fourth Court that belonged to one of Fort Lauderdale's early judges was razed two years ago to build a multi-unit complex. Like most of the teardowns and scrape-offs in Victoria Park, that demolition was approved by the city. Perfectly legal. The Victoria Park aesthetics committee has drafted design guidelines for new construction, but they're unenforceable. The vast majority of what's going up in the neighborhood requires no variances or exemptions in zoning. So older homes keep vanishing.
"I don't want to be painted as the Realtor who's knocking down houses," says Jacquelyn Scott, another Victoria Park homeowner. She plans to wreck her waterfront home built in the 1950s and replace it with "a beautiful, brand-new home." The new house will be big: two stories, taking up most of the lot. That's just the way it goes, Scott explains.
"You can't build a single-story home," she insists. "It's a no-brainer. It has to be two stories. This is a piece of waterfront property. If you look at what my lot is worth, you can't afford not to put a nice, big house on it."
Why not add on to the existing structure?
"If I restored the house I'm in, it would cost $225,000," she explains. "And in the end, I would have a perfect, functionally obsolete, 1497-square-foot house where I couldn't even have a king-sized bed in my master [bedroom]. It's far, far, far better to start from scratch."
But many residents wonder if the new construction is going to pass the test of time, as their well-constructed bungalows have.
"I don't think they would have lasted as long as they have if they were built shabbily," Dawn DiMartini says of the older homes in Victoria Park. "The cement homes built in the 1940s last storm after storm after storm," Mayers notes. "These new things don't."
Moreover, McMansion opponents feel that the new homes destabilize the sense of community that helped give the areas desirability before its prime location took precedence.
"This is an old-fashioned neighborhood," DiMartini says. "Everybody is friendly. We have dinner parties at each others' homes. I wouldn't ever move out of here. When I die, one of my sons will come in the back door, hang up his coat, and live here. That's how much I like the neighborhood."
But she also notes that Victoria Park's reputation as a neighborhood for young professionals is changing rapidly. "I could probably sell this house for $650,000," she says. "I can't see how any young couple could possibly afford to buy it."
Wright sees it differently: "A 1200-square-foot home is pretty exclusionary," he notes. "New construction pretty much invites everybody, a cross section of society, into the neighborhood. And that's what you want."
Pat Mayers isn't convinced.
"You can't replace the charm. Our lovely neighbors from Weston," she says with wet sarcasm, "got out there in paradise in their big cement mansions and decided they didn't really want to be in no-man's land. I'm not against people having big homes. But if you want a big home, go over to Harbor Beach! Go over to the Landings and buy yourself a big, beautiful home! It blends in there. Don't destroy the ambiance and integrity of Victoria Park."
Jon Schwenzer wants the neighborhood civic association to send Wright and his ilk a signal that enough is enough. He's written a scathing letter to the association that so far has not appeared next to the RE/MAX ads, lasagna recipes, and poems in its monthly newsletter. And he's still bitter that the association's former president, John Albee, quashed any debate that decried new construction.
"Victoria Park has some tremendous character, and it needs to be preserved, but where were the preservationists when the preservation was needed?" Albee asks today. "I tend to agree with the other camp that says we need new development. And I think that's reality: Fort Lauderdale and Victoria Park will be rebuilt, one lot at a time."
Schwenzer wants to try to derail that worst-case scenario. "There's not much to stop developers from doing exactly what they want to do," he complains, "but I think the first step is to raise our voices and say, 'Hey, they're not welcome here.' These developers have built the same crap that they build en masse out in the suburbs and they're sticking them here, and they add nothing to the neighborhood."
"It's interesting that people would object to anything that would revitalize the community," Wright counters. "I love Fort Lauderdale, but I feel like I'm in this mad race to keep it a vibrant part of what goes on here. Hopefully, the new houses will help protect the value of the older homes that are [of] magnificent architectural importance. But they're not going to be protected if they're surrounded by garbage and junk.
