Many people with an online presence know the feeling of clicking on an email from an unknown address and instead of a long-lost friend, a list of complicated codes pops up. Sometimes there is an attachment included that starts downloading before the user can cancel the action. With current technology and several ways to get access, it’s more important than ever farmers know how to protect themselves and their data. Iowa Internet provider, netINS, has it’s share of rural and urban customers in the state. Cheap Pandora Charms

No matter where the users are located, they are of equal risk says Chris Williams, manager of internet products for netINS. “A farmer is not at any less of a risk than the average household,” Williams says. “People look at two things — the value of the data protected and the biggest bang for their buck.” To protect the company’s 10,000 customers, netINS uses Security Coverage, a Cedar Rapids company. But, Williams says all of the leading anti-virus software is acceptable. NetINS holds classes where users can learn how to protect themselves against a internet criminals.

Pandora Charms Sale “Though most netINS customers receive internet through a fiber-optic cable, a handful still connect to modem, fixed wireless or there is some good dial-up services offered.” Williams says. The wireless connection has its own risks when left unprotected. “Most wireless devices, four or five years ago, you had to specify if you wanted security. Now, most make it hard not to use it,” he says. “Anytime someone installs a home-networking device, using a password is very important. At the very least, do not operate a device without a pass word to connect to. Make sure the name of the device is not broadcasted.” One of the common mistakes is users do not update their anti-virus software, Williams says. Pandora Beads Charms

The newer information is key to fixing any holes in the product. “A customer has to be vigilant,” he says. “Make sure there is a firewall to protect information within the organization and the network and make sure you talk to a certified professional before doing any networking.” Here is a check list on computer safety from the National Cyber Alert System. What types of files can attackers corrupt? An attacker may be able to insert malicious code into any file, including common file types that you would normally consider safe.

Pandora Charms OnlineThese files may include documents created with word processing software, spreadsheets or image files. After corrupting the file, an attacker may distribute it through email or post it to a website. Depending on the type of malicious code, you may infect your computer by just opening the file. What problems can malicious files cause? There are various types of malicious code, including viruses, worms, and Trojan horses. The range of consequences varies. The malicious code may be designed to perform one or more functions, including interfering with your computer’s ability to process information causing your computer to become significantly slower; installing, altering or deleting files on your computer giving the attacker access to your computer to use your computer to attack other computers.

How can you protect yourself? Use and maintain anti-virus software, which can recognize and protect your computer against most known viruses, so you may be able to detect and remove the virus before it can do any damage. Because attackers are continually writing new viruses, it is important to keep your definitions up to date. Use caution with email attachments. Do not open email attachments you were not expecting, especially if they are from people you do not know. If you decide to open an email attachment, scan it for viruses first. Not only is it possible for attackers to “spoof” the source of an email message, but your legitimate contacts may unknowingly send you an infected file. Pandora Earrings

If your email program automatically downloads and opens attachments, check your settings to see if you can disable this feature. Be wary of downloadable files on websites. Avoid downloading files from sites you do not trust. If you are getting the files from a supposedly secure site, look for a website certificate. If you do download a file from a website, consider saving it to your computer and manually scanning it for viruses before opening it. Keep software up to date. Many operating systems offer automatic updates. If this option is available, you should enable it. Take advantage of security settings. Check the security settings of your email client and your web browser. Apply the highest level of security available that still gives you the functionality you need. Pandora Earrings Silver

LEE COUNTY, FL - The Interagency Working Group on Food Marketed to Children is issuing recommendations for how unhealthy food is marketed to children ages 2 to 17. Companies could voluntarily follow the recommendations or ignore them completely. What do parents think of the recommendations? [Click here for more information or read the report] A walk through the grocery store can be a child's biggest temptation. "They get pretty excited about all the bright colors," said parent Brad Zimmer. "It's documented that children react really well to advertising, especially to television ads," said Diane Holm of the Lee County Health Department. cheap tiffany and co jewelry

That colorful advertising could be taking a toll on the child's waistline. "The obesity epidemic has really started in this generation with very young, young children. Pre-schoolers are overweight," said Holm. That's why the group is issuing recommendations designed to help encourage children to make healthy food choices. "The cost of health care is so enormous that it's something we have to get a handle on any way we can," said Zimmer. Health advocates say it's really up to the parents to make sure their kids get healthy snacks. Adrian Sabatino runs Jump'n Jack's Play Gym in Naples. He says there are already enough government regulations. "Turn off the TV, go outside and play or come here.Just get your child active. You should control what your kids eat in the home instead of worrying about what the government is trying to enact on TV," said Sabatino. Holm says getting rid of the television advertising is not about control, but education – parents should teach their children healthy habits. tiffany necklace

advertisement | your ad here ST. LOUIS -- U.S. food prices may ease later this year now that farmers have planted the second-largest corn crop in nearly seven decades. The size of this year's corn crop will be 92.3 million acres, the U.S. Agriculture Department said Thursday. That's 9 percent larger than the average annual corn crop over the past decade. The only crop bigger in the past 67 years was planted in 2007. Many analysts had worried that wet weather this spring would cut the number of corn acres. But record-high prices are encouraging farmers to use more acres for corn, and less for soybeans and wheat. A greater crop estimate drove corn futures down 30 cents to close at nearly $6.21 per bushel. That's the maximum price change allowed by futures exchanges. Corn rose to a record high of $7.99 per bushel earlier this month. More expensive grain has led to food price increases this year. tiffany mens necklace

That could ultimately make everything from beef to cereal to soft drinks more expensive at the supermarket. For all of 2011, the USDA predicts food prices will rise 3 percent to 4 percent. A huge harvest in August could ultimately slow food inflation. It typically takes six months for changes in commodity prices to affect retail food prices in the U.S. Analysts say consumers could see some relief at the supermarket by early 2012. "All of us who perceived tighter (corn) supplies up to this point, all of us were proven wrong today," said Jason Ward, an analyst with Northstar Commodity in Minneapolis. Industry traders had expected just 90.8 million acres of corn had been planted. Knowing that far more corn is in the pipeline will likely pull down grain prices dramatically this summer, Ward said. Farmers chose to plant corn at the expense of this year's soybean crop.They planted only 75.2 million acres of soybeans, about 3 percent less than last year.

tiffany necklace silver Farmers have a limited supply of good farmland and usually trade one crop for another on their acreage. "It seemed to me there was $100 to $150 per acre more money in the corn than there was in the beans," said Tom Kreutzer, who planted 150 acres of corn on his farm near Wakeeney, Kan. "That's the kind of math that a lot of guys were using." Higher corn prices make soybeans and wheat more expensive because farmers plant less of them. Raised expectations for this fall's corn crop also helped lower soybean prices in trading Thursday. Soybeans fell 29 cents to $12.94 a bushel. A bigger crop doesn't guarantee lower food prices. A drought or flood could limit the size of the harvested crop. Ward said many of the acres planted this spring were on marginal land that won't yield much grain. Many farmers planted during wet weather just because they knew they could get the crops insured. "They have no intention of harvesting them because they were planted in complete mud," Ward said. tiffany necklace white gold

pandora setsJohn Pistole has a vision for the Transportation Security Administration and its employees. But weird things keep obstructing the view. Pistole is administrator of the TSA, where transportation security officers who screen passengers and baggage at the nation’s airports recently voted to join the American Federation of Government Employees. It’s also the place where TSOs have come under criticism for following procedures that might seem silly, yet are designed to keep us safe, and making silly mistakes that could compromise safety. Pistole defines his vision with three cornerstones — redefining the mission of TSA as a national security counterterrorism agency, supporting the workforce and engaging outside stakeholders. He emphasized his agency’s role in an air safety national security continuum that includes foreign intelligence, federal and local law enforcement and the public. pandora packages

At the end of that continuum are the air marshals and TSOs, he said: “We are really the last line of defense.” Pistole wants to ease the cumbersome passenger screening process by promoting trusted-traveler programs that would allow officers a stronger focus on more likely risks. “We’re undertaking a major redefining of the agency mission and the way we execute on that mission,” he told the Federal Diary on Tuesday. The security officers, of course, will be a major part of that process. But the agency has a bad reputation for low employee morale. Any manager will tell you that’s not good for implementing an ambitious agenda that’s designed to sharpen the agency’s standing as a key player on the nation’s counterterrorism team. Publicity over the 95-year-old woman in Fort Walton Beach, Fla., who had to remove her diaper to get through security for a June 18 flight to Detroit also doesn’t help morale or the image of the agency and its workers. Pandora Charms On Sale

Nor does the case of the man who flew from New York City to Los Angeles a week later with an invalid boarding pass. In Florida, the officers apparently were following procedure, however repugnant it might be. In the second case, the officers, and the Virgin America ground staff, really screwed up. Pistole said the officer who didn’t catch the invalid boarding pass has been taken off the line for remedial training. The publicity surrounding both cases can’t help morale at an agency that has repeatedly scored at or near the bottom in employee surveys. Union President John Gage promised that morale would improve once the officers were able to choose a union and negotiate a contract.

Pandora BeadsPistole said he expects unionization will lead to “greater uniformity and consistency” within the agency’s workforce and with that, “I hope it would only improve the experience the traveling public has.” He expects coupling greater consistency with the redefinition of the agency’s mission to improve employee morale. Building morale was a key reason Pistole gave for allowing collective bargaining by TSOs, a decision Capitol Hill Republicans continue to harshly criticize. “Data from employee surveys has repeatedly shown TSA ranking poorly in terms of employee morale and engagement. Employee engagement and security are interrelated and therefore directly affect our capacity to carry out our mission,” Pistole wrote in his February decision to allow collective bargaining. “We must ensure that our TSOs are motivated and engaged as their judgment and discretionary effort are critical to achieving superior security. Pandora Charms

We must and will continue to do better with and by our employees to ensure we continue to accomplish our mission.” With TSA approaching its 10th anniversary in November, Pistole said: “I see collective bargaining as being one of the pillars that will help move the agency” into its next decade. By supporting the employees and with their support, Pistole envisions a time not too far away when security officers can spend more of their time looking at people who might pose greater risk and less time on those who have been pre-screened, as is the case with the crewmember identity verification system the agency is testing. Pandora Beads Sale

Part of that includes better training in behavioral detection for officers whose job it is to spot suspicious people by the way they act. Pistole wants all the officers to “focus on what we’re really paid to do, and that’s be a counterterrorism agency to prevent a terrorist from getting on a plane and blowing it up. .?.?. I think we can go about doing this in a smarter, more efficient way using more common sense and then focusing on those threats that are most critical to our national security.” Pandora Bangles

tiffany necklaceANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) — Gov. Martin O'Malley's administration expects this fall's special legislative session on congressional redistricting will be convened in the week of Oct. 17, an O'Malley spokesman said Tuesday. While the governor has not yet formally announced the exact date for the session, O'Malley is planning to call it sometime that week, Rick Abbruzzese said. The Maryland legislature typically meets for a 90-day session beginning in January, but lawmakers need a special session to re-draw the state's eight congressional districts based on the results of the census. If lawmakers only take up congressional redistricting, the session is not expected to last more than a few days. Some lawmakers have suggested introducing legislation in addition to redistricting to raise revenue for the state's badly depleted Transportation Trust Fund. cheap tiffany and co

Although lawmakers will be able to introduce legislation when they gather for the special session, it's unclear how much support exists to take on challenging revenue measures. House Speaker Michael Busch, D-Anne Arundel, said Tuesday he has not had any discussions yet about taking up issues other than redistricting during the special session. He also questioned why lawmakers should hold a long special session to work on tough legislation without clear consensus, when lawmakers will gather for their regular session in January. "There is no reason to take up an issue that there's not an agreement on other than redistricting," Busch told The Associated Press in an interview Tuesday. Senate President Thomas V. tiffany mens necklace

Mike Miller, D-Calvert, indicated in a letter to O'Malley in May that he was interested in expanding the scope of the special session to work on some high-profile issues, including the state's structural deficit, shifting some teacher pension costs to local governments and transportation funding concerns. Miller could not immediately be reached for comment Tuesday. Earlier this year, a state commission recommended that Maryland raise $800 million more in annual transportation funding to shore up the transportation revenues. tiffany necklace silver

O'Malley, a Democrat, has expressed interest in moving away from a traditional flat tax on gasoline, because new cars and trucks are now designed to use less gas. "The governor is still considering whether to address the Transportation Trust Fund in a special session or wait until the next regular session," Abbruzzese said Tuesday. The recommendations by the state's Blue Ribbon Commission on Transportation Funding included applying the state's sales tax to gasoline. Currently, the state has a 23.5 cents per gallon gas tax, which was last raised in 1992. A five-member panel that meets publicly for the first time on Wednesday will make recommendations to the governor for redrawing Maryland's eight congressional districts. tiffany necklace white gold

The commission also will submit recommendations for reconfiguring state legislative districts. The governor will introduce that plan in a joint resolution to the General Assembly on Jan. 11, the first day of the legislative session. Lawmakers will have 45 days to either approve the governor's plan or pass an alternative plan. If a plan is not passed in 45 days, the governor's plan becomes law as submitted. tiffany bracelet

CINCINNATI (AP) - A 3-month-old giraffe that was the first born at the Cincinnati Zoo in more than 25 years has been euthanized after suffering a debilitating leg injury. The zoo says the female giraffe named Zuri was found limping with the injured right rear leg on May 19 and had been re-casted three times since. The animal was euthanized Friday after zoo veterinarians determined the leg bone had become severely fragmented with no hope for recovery.

Pandora Bracelet Charms Zoo Executive Director Thane Maynard says staff are heartbroken and that the death is the most "tremendous blow" he's experienced in 34 years working with animals. The zoo suffered another giraffe death in November, when a 3-year-old female's cardiovascular system collapsed from shock when her horns became caught in netting in an outdoor exhibit.

RAWLINS, Wyo. (BP)--Mikey knows prison life. Now in his mid-30s, he's been behind bars since he was 13 for one reason or another, now serving three life terms without parole for murder. "Mikey has a reputation for being a tough guy and the other prisoners give him great respect," said Dave Stillie, pastor of First Southern Baptist Church, a 50-year old congregation on the windswept high plains of southeastern Wyoming some 150 miles west of Cheyenne.

tiffany outlet Stillie and other members of First Southern minister at the Wyoming State Penitentiary where Mikey is incarcerated. Stillie enjoys watching the Lord work in the lives of prison inmates. Wyoming's only maximum security state prison has 650 inmates. First Southern's ministry there involves a combination of worship services, Christian counseling and support after release. "Mikey started a Bible study a year ago for skinheads, Aryan Nations types. He could reach those people I never could," Stillie said. "He regularly comes into my service and regularly says, 'Pastor Dave, I'd like you to meet my friend who just met Jesus this week.' Those kinds of things make the ministry worthwhile. It would be wrong "to be pastor of a church in Rawlins and not have a prison ministry," Stillie said. tiffany men's necklace

"Rawlins has the only maximum security prison in Wyoming." Just as Stillie knows First Southern must serve locally, he feels just as strongly about its global outreach through Southern Baptists' Cooperative Program channel of support for missions and ministry. "We're out and about doing whatever ministry God leads us to locally," the pastor said. "The Cooperative Program allows us to be just as involved globally. tiffany jewelry outlet

" GREAT COMMANDMENT, GREAT COMMISSION Stillie, a past president of the Wyoming Southern Baptist Convention, said he appreciates the fellowship that comes from being part of a cooperating group focused on the Great Commandment and Great Commission. "By working together, we accomplish so much more for God's Kingdom work than any of us could do on our own," Stillie said. "Working together in disaster relief, financially supporting missions across the world through the Cooperative Program, being a part of all God is doing through Southern Baptists, it's like we're multiplying our efforts, and I think that pleases God." First Southern gives 13 percent of its offerings through the Cooperative Program and 5.5 percent to associational missions, Stillie said.

tiffany pendantsThe congregation's total missions giving is 25 to 30 percent each year -- out of a $180,000 annual operating budget. About 80 people participate in Sunday morning worship at First Southern. During its 57-year history, it planted a church in Bairoil, the nearest town, which is 40 miles away; was instrumental in starting an oil field ministry in Wamsutter, 40 miles in the other direction; and is in the process of establishing a new Hispanic work in Rawlins. Mark Porter, church planting catalyst (formerly director of missions) the last 11 years for Energy Basin Baptist Association, gives Stillie credit for encouraging First Southern's involvement in associational missions and ministries. Porter said Stillie "does whatever he can to support the association. ... He does anything and everything for us.

First Southern also has been a strong supporter of the association's oilfield ministry in Wamsutter, Porter said. "This church has given faithfully to the association and is one of the strongest churches in giving to the Cooperative Program." First Southern's international ministry isn't limited to giving through the Cooperative Program and Lottie Moon Christmas Offering.

tiffany necklace white gold Members also participate in short-term missions trips, such as a 10-day foray to Haiti in February -- Stillie's second mission trip to Haiti in less than a year. With so few Southern Baptist churches in Wyoming, Stillie feels the international involvements help his congregation feel connected to other SBC churches "Many of our church members are new to Southern Baptist life," Stillie said. "They don't have a clue who Southern Baptists are when they join the church, so we participate in Cooperative Program activities and support the special missions offerings as a way of uniting with other Southern Baptists across the nation." In addition to ministries at the Wyoming State Penitentiary and Carbon County Jail, First Southern ministers locally in several ways. tiffany necklace silver

A chapel at the nearby TA Truck Stop serves travelers on Interstate 80. Ministries for senior adults, youth and children take place weekly. Several boxes of food are given each month to needy families. Free Christian counseling is offered, including court-ordered counseling, marriage and pre-marital counseling, to those in need. The church also helps with emergency financial needs of people in the community, such as medicine, transportation and utilities. Transients receive shelter, gas or bus tickets and food, as needed. tiffany necklace

There's more: Several lay-led off-site Bible studies are ongoing throughout the year. Boy Scouts and Cub Scouts meet at the church, with some First Southern Rawlins in leadership roles. Bibles and Christian tracts are distributed at public events, such as fairs and bazaars, along with lemonade or hot chocolate, while relationships are built that, with the Holy Spirit's guidance, lead to evangelistic encounters. Stillie, whose background is in counseling, also serves as a Rawlins police chaplain. He spends time each month with officers and staff, while church members provide plates of cookies and other goodies each month for all Rawlins-area law enforcement agencies and for the local fire department.

tiffany men's necklaceStillie also leads trauma counseling training for local law enforcement and the staff of Memorial Hospital, as well as to individuals. He fills out his schedule as the Wyoming Southern Baptist Convention's disaster relief coordinator. Stillie, who also has served as a pastor in Boulder, Colo., said Rawlins historically was an original "Wild West" outlaw town. "Law enforcement wouldn't pursue criminals this far. Even our high school mascot is 'The Outlaws,'" Stillie said. "The town ... today is small enough that it doesn't even have a Walmart. But one of the benefits of a small town is a sense of community. As I minister outside the church walls, people know me and trust me, making it easier to share the love of Jesus."
