>HERO HONDA: Result Update 1QFY2011
For 1QFY2011, Hero Honda (HH) reported decent performance on top-line front, while operating performance and bottom-line came in below expectation. OPM was impacted largely due to higher input cost, which in turn resulted in poor bottom-line performance. We revise our OPM estimates downwards to account for margin pressure due to the increasing raw material prices. Owing to the recent decline in the price, we recommend an Accumulate on the stock.
■ Top-line in line, net profit dips on input cost pressure: For 1QFY2011, HH registered 12% yoy growth in net sales to Rs4,297cr (Rs3,822cr), which was in line with our expectation. The growth was largely aided by the 10.3% yoy jump in volumes and marginal 1.5% yoy increase in net realisation (owing to hike in excise duty). HH reported 7.3% yoy dip in operating profits, where OPM fell by a substantial 298bp yoy on input cost pressure. OPM came in below expectation,
with raw material cost increasing by 345bp yoy. Thus, net profit came in below our expectation at Rs492cr, on lower-than-expected OPM.
■ Outlook and Valuation: We maintain our volume growth estimate and model the company to record around 12% CAGR in revenues over FY2010-12E, aided by around 9% CAGR in volumes during the period. We revise our OPM estimates downwards to account for margin pressure due to the increasing raw material prices. We expect net profit to register moderate CAGR of 7% over FY2010-12E on account of the tax benefits availed by HH at its Uttaranchal plant. However, we believe that this will not be able to compensate for the drop in market share and leaves limited room for earnings upgrade. We recommend an Accumulate with a Target Price of Rs1,966, at which level the stock would trade at 15.3x FY2012E earnings (10% discount to our Sensex target multiple of 17x).

Enigin Scam Busters Look to Save the Future
17 Dec, 2012, 09:01 GMT
LONDON, December 17, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
Unscrupulous opportunists are looking to make a fast-buck from the booming energy efficiency industry. In response, Enigin - a leader in the industry - are dedicated to act as Scam Busters and provide sound, experienced advice on the current welfare of business and the future of the planet and the economy.
Enigin have announced their determination to promote energy efficiency and expose unscrupulous opportunists looking to take advantage of the uninformed consumer. Their Scam Busters program is key to achieving their objectives.
Enigin believes that as energy efficiency is one of the world's fastest growing industries, it is inevitable that certain underhanded individuals and organizations will look for a fast buck by promising clients an undeliverable return on investment.
"These rip-off and scam artists will paint a picture of substantial energy savings, by offering what seem to be simple, effective and easily installed gadgets - the reality soon hits home, as once the outlay has been made the returns are either tiny or even non-existent."
Troy Wrigley, Enigin Plc
The company seems determined to expose unscrupulous companies with the Enigin Scam Buster program. Using their worldwide network of distributors utilizing Enigin plc's Real-time energy analyzer Eniscope. Being able to monitor not only your energy consumption, but also the actual savings you are making and where is vital for organizations to make the right choices when faced by an array of emerging technologies, which is what the Eniscope does, visibly displaying what is happening with energy use in real-time.
Enigin are also concerned that the scam artists are sullying the reputation of real energy saving companies and misleading the consumer, just when the industry is rocketing through an ever increasing demand.
"I believe this is as a result of three factors that conspire together on the global scene that are taking us ever closer to 'tipping point.'"
Ian Wrigley, Enigin Plc
Wrigley's 'tipping point' factors involve the reality of climate change, finite current fuel supplies and the global financial crisis. These all add to the urgency of the situation and the importance of using genuine, advanced energy saving technology.
A general global consensus that now is the time to cut energy waste and improve the environment for now and the future, demonstrates why it is good news that Enigin have set up their Enigin Scam Busters scheme using their Eniscope to prove that their energy saving efforts and investments are working for them and their futures.

And the best mobile phones ever, in no particular order, are...
Motorola StarTAC (1996)
The StarTAC wasn't just the first clamshell phone; it was the first cool phone. In the same way that the intrinsic coolness of the iPod fuelled the popularity of MP3 players, so the StarTAC's jazzy design helped establish mobiles as a must-have.
Nokia 1011 (1992)
Yes, Motorola set the mobile ball rolling, but Nokia gave it real momentum with this, the first mass-produced GSM phone. It could receive text messages but not send them, and stored 99 numbers – so one each for the number of people you knew with mobiles and 98 for the rest of your friends.
Apple iPhone 3G (2008)
For all its wow, the original iPhone lacked the speedy on-the-go connectivity to make it truly world-changing. 3G was the fuel that finally launched the iPhone into the smartphone stratosphere.
Motorola DynaTAC 8000x (1983)
This is it – the mother of all mobile phones. Where would we be without the Motorola DynaTAC? Constantly in search of phonebooths and internet cafes, that's where.
Nokia N70 (2005)
For anyone who'd rather tear their own eyeballs out than wrestle with Windows Mobile, the Nokia N70 was the ideal alternative. The speed of 3G combined with the versatility and usability of Symbian 8.1 and the S60 UI resulted in a pocket powerhouse.

Breaking Point
Breaking Point
C.J. Box
Putnam (384 pages, $26.95)
C.J. Box melds hot-button ecology issues and thrilling plots while balancing the story between environmental and human issues.
Box's high standards have never been more evident than in the 13th novel in his series about Wyoming game warden Joe Pickett. "Breaking Point" skillfully shows how government can enhance lives and preserve the environment while also portraying the legal system run amok. But "Breaking Point" is no treatise pitting an individual versus the big bad Goliath of government. The tense plot of "Breaking Point" provides edge-of-the-seat suspense filled with unpredictable twists and realistic characters worth caring about set against the vivid wide open spaces of Wyoming.
Many people are near breaking point, as Joe learns when he becomes personally and professionally involved in the problems of neighbor Butch Robertson. The hard-working owner of a construction company, Butch is the prime suspect in the murder of two armed EPA agents who had come to stop him from building on his land. Butch planned to build a retirement home for himself and his wife on land for which they scrimped and saved for years, but suddenly found themselves in a legal quagmire from which there seemed to be no solution. A vindictive EPA director, a former sheriff with a grudge and a former soldier are now after Butch, who has fled to the mountains. Joe agrees to lead a posse, hoping if he finds Butch first he can stop more violence.
Based on a true incident, "Breaking Point" is infused with the frontier spirit of an old-fashioned Western as the good guys try to track down the bad guys — only in "Breaking Point" the sole person without another agenda is Joe. While out-of-control bureaucracy fuels the plot, "Breaking Point" carefully shows how rampant abuse of power can erupt anywhere.
Box's contemporary spin on the Western makes "Breaking Point" an explosive thriller that careens from one unpredictable twist to another.

Join the Salty Dog team for an unforgettable experience on one of their fully guided trips or extended expeditions.
Explore the islands by joining a guided short or extended tour or let them customise one to suit you or your group's special requirements. Alternatively kayak throughout the Whitsundays at your own pace with a 'freedom' rental kayak, camping out under the stars or 'living it up' at luxury resort-style accommodation en-route.
Based in the spectacular Whitsundays Islands, Salty Dog Sea Kayaking have been renting kayaks and running kayaking expeditions since 1997. Their qualified staff have an intimate knowledge of the region and enjoy nothing better than sharing this with their friends and guests.
Comprising more than 70 islands, the Whitsunday Island group is the largest offshore island chain on the east coast of Australia. As part of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park, its tropical, clear, warm waters offer some of the most breathtaking and accessible paddling in the world.
Salty Dog Sea Kayaking has an extensive range of single and double sea kayaks available for hire by experienced kayakers. Whether its a short half-day trip or an extended expedition, with your own craft and itinerary, you'll have the independence and freedom to explore the amazing Whitsunday Islands at your own pace.

A paddling route includes both Hook and Whitsunday Islands with their spectacular beaches, rugged coastlines and tranquil coral-filled bays and lagoons.
Home to manta rays, turtles, dolphins, rare dugongs and humpback whales, the Whitsundays is truly a tropical marine paradise. With approximately four hours paddling each day, there's plenty of time for swimming, snorkelling, fishing or just taking it easy at the beach campsites.
A perfect introduction to sea kayaking or just a great opportunity to escape from the mainland for a few hours. Embarking from picturesque Shute Harbour, you explore Tancred, Repair and Shute Islands by kayak before stopping over for a swim in the turquoise waters surrounding "White Rock", a tiny National Park island. You then have time to relax on the island's white coral beach and enjoy a morning snack before kayaking back to Shute Harbour via Cane Cockie's Beach and Gunn Island.
The golden sandy beaches, fringing coral reefs and magnificent scenery, make the nearby Molle Group of Islands the perfect destination for the full day trip. Easily accessible by kayak due to their close proximity to the mainland, these islands and surrounding waters are home to sea turtles, dolphins and a myriad of other marine life. This is indeed a kayaker's paradise. As well as paddling, there's also the opportunity to take in a guided bush walk and spend time swimming and snorkelling.

SAN JOSE (AP) — For all that the San Jose Sharks accomplished with their overtime victory over Los Angeles in Game 3, they know it will mean very little if they don't back that win up with another at home against the defending Stanley Cup champion Kings.
"We haven't accomplished anything," Sharks coach Todd McLellan said. "We didn't get our work done in LA, and that put us behind the eight ball. The fact that we win Game 3, that's great, but we still are behind in the series and the series is getting shorter. The lifeline wasn't as long as it was in the past. We've just got to find a way to get even. If our intensity or urgency drops because we've won a single game, I would be disappointed in our group."
After taking it easy the day after San Jose's 2-1 win, both teams stepped up preparation on Monday in advance of Game 4 on Tuesday night at the Shark Tank.
The Kings aren't about to feel complacent, considering they were less than 2 minutes away from losing Game 2 at home and have won just once in 10 road games since March.
"We can't rest and just be comfortable with being a good home team," forward Justin Williams said. "We need to be killers on the road. Coming back with a 3-1 lead is certainly something we're going to do our darnedest to do."
The Kings came close to getting that elusive road win in Game 3 on Saturday when they fell in overtime after being called for two penalties in the final minute of regulation to set up Logan Couture's power-play goal in overtime.
The second of those penalties particularly irked the Kings, who contend Trevor Lewis was pushed into San Jose goalie Antti Niemi by Patrick Marleau and shouldn't have been called for goaltender interference.
That came one game after the Sharks complained about a late delay of game call on Marc-Edouard Vlasic that gave the Kings a two-man advantage and eventually led to two goals that gave Los Angeles a 4-3 win.
The Kings look to rebound from their disappointment the same way the Sharks did from theirs.
"There's zero momentum," Kings coach Darryl Sutter said. "Once you get in the playoffs, there's zero momentum unless somebody is way better than somebody, and as you see, nobody is. If there's a carry-over, then you're probably not a playoff team."
The home teams have won all three games so far this series and both teams are undefeated at home in the postseason this year. The Sharks have been dominant all season on home ice, going 17-2-5 in the regular season that included two wins over Los Angeles.
The biggest reason for the home success has been a potent power play that has been far more efficient at the Shark Tank than on the road. San Jose has scored on an NHL-best 28.4 percent of power plays at home during the regular and postseason compared to just 13.6 percent on the road.
The difference has been even more stark in the postseason where the Sharks are 8-for-20 on the power play at home and just 1-for-16 on the road, including 0-for-7 the first two games in Los Angeles. San Jose did score one goal 5 seconds after the end of a power play in Game 2 against the Kings.
Defenseman Dan Boyle said there was little difference other than the final results on the power play in Game 3, when he got the scoring started with a power-play goal 4 seconds into a man advantage early in the first period and Couture ended the game with a power-play goal in overtime.
"It's about scoring goals," Boyle said. "If we don't score yesterday, you guys would be talking about how bad we are, how much we're struggling. We had some good looks in L.A., we just didn't put the puck in the net. The one goal we had, the penalty had just expired.
"The end of the day, you've just got to put the puck in the net and the first power play took, what? Three or four seconds. That's not a good power play, that's execution. It's a won faceoff, it's a guy going to the net. That's just good execution."
The Kings could get a boost with the potential return of forward Kyle Clifford, who has missed the past four games with an upper-body injury.
Clifford scored three of his seven regular-season goals this year against the Sharks and all three of his career playoff goals came in a six-game series against San Jose two years ago.
"He can give us that big physical, emotional lift that we can use right now," forward Colin Fraser said. "He's a guy that doesn't take a shift off, and he's hard to play against. I've played with him on and off for two years, and he's a big, physical player who keeps it simple. You know what you're going to get out of him every shift."
NOTES: McLellan said he would consider dressing seven defensemen with F Marty Havlat once again sidelined with a lower-body injury. D Jason Demers, who has missed the past 11 games with a lower-body injury, skated with the forwards for part of practice. ... San Jose F Adam Burish, who was ruled out of the series with a broken right hand, took part in practice and remains hopeful he could return at some point this series.
SAN JOSE (AP) — For all that the San Jose Sharks accomplished with their overtime victory over Los Angeles in Game 3, they know it will mean very little if they don't back that win up with another at home against the defending Stanley Cup champion Kings.

HCP Slides Again After Sudden CEO Ouster
- Order Reprints
- Print Article
Shares of HCP (HCP) are dropping again today following the surprise ouster of CEO James Flaherty yesterday.
The healthcare REIT is busy trying to convince investors that there's nothing behind the move other than the fact that they wanted a new leadership style when the place Jones Lang LaSalle's (JLL) Lauralee Martin at the helm. Cowen's James Sullivan explains why the move continues to shake up investors:
The CEO announcement took investors by surprise, and we may see additional share volatility as shareholders digest the transition. The apparent suddenness of the announcement, and the age difference between Flaherty and Martin, may also raise questions about Martin's tenure and the new succession plans.
Management Reiterated Its Commitment To The Current Strategy. Still, it is natural to assume that with a new leader, some changes to the management team may be made (even if in the form of additions to the team). And given Martin's experience and comments on the call, we could see an increased emphasis on international opportunities, which may raise concerns with existing shareholders.
HCP has dropped 1.6% to $39.17 today, while competitor Health Care REIT (HCN) has gained 0.6% to $61.97, while Ventas (VTR) has risen 0.5% to $62.31.

To get home from the Eastside in the evenings, I usually take the 545 to Montlake and then transfer to the 48. I say "usually" because sometimes I ride the 545 all the way downtown to transfer just to avoid the tedious and time-consuming trip from the bus stop on 520 (where I get off the 545) to the bus stop on Montlake Blvd. (where I catch the 48).
I am OK with walking all the way up a long hill from the freeway stop to Montlake and then down the block to the corner of Montlake & E. Lake Washington (see black line below), but what's with the crosswalk situation? There is no crosswalk directly across the street to the southbound bus stop (green line), so I have to either:
• Cross three times–and wait for three separate lights (orange line), OR
• Walk down a few flights of stairs to the eastbound side of the 520 (see label), walk a block or so west, and then walk up a couple more flights of stairs to the west side of Montlake.
Neither option works well when one is in a hurry to catch the bus, and missing a forty-late can mean a 30-minute wait on an isolated island surrounded by cars. No likey.
(Click the picture for a larger view.)
I was hoping that Greg Nickels would add this insane intersection to his list of streets that need improvements, but I think it will probably be left alone until we figure out what we're going to do with 520. On the plus side: Stair climbing is good for your glutes.

NEA Unveils Education Plan to Reshape Federal Role in Education
Presidential election could bring a new direction for public education
WASHINGTON - July 02, 2008 -After six years of treating children as no more than test scores, No Child Left Behind has not lived up to its promise. Education policy needs a new direction. Today, the National Education Association unveiled a plan to transform all public schools by the year 2020 through redefining the federal role in education.
"Federal education policy needs more than a legislative tweak here and there," said Reg Weaver, NEA president. "A change in the White House must bring fundamental changes in how the federal government treats public education. The government must move beyond testing, labeling and punishing, and begin partnering with states to close achievement gaps for all students."
As reauthorization of NCLB stalls in Congress, and as opposition to the law continues to grow, it is clear that NCLB has failed. The law judges children based solely on standardized test scores at the expense of preparing them for the real world. And the law's obsessive focus on testing, without providing basic resources, has narrowed the curriculum.
NEA calls for a new federal role in education, with the government embracing its role as a supporter-not a manager-of state and district responsibilities. The federal government should support public schools by:
Strengthening enforcement of civil rights laws to promote access and opportunity;
Funding past congressional actions and current federal mandates; and
Helping create the capacity at the local and state levels for school transformation.
"The federal government has a critical role in public education, and should focus on equity, opportunity and targeted assistance to underserved communities," Weaver said. "At the same time, the government must respect the role of states and school districts as the primary providers of education services."
NEA's recommendations echo new policy proposals by groups such as the Economic Policy Institute, the Forum on Educational Accountability, and the American Association of School Administrators. NEA will use its role as a leader and advocate in bringing together organizations and coalitions to work with the new administration and the next Congress.
Senator Barack Obama sent a letter to NEA members supporting the policy proposals on transforming public education.
"I applaud the NEA for its efforts to frame the agenda outlined in Great Public Schools for Every Student by 2020," Obama said. "This document provides a roadmap for educators, elected officials, policymakers, and all who care deeply about the future of our children to consider and debate in the days ahead. And it provides critical starting points for a new educational compact."

Regular medical care is important for all children, but especially for those with congenital heart disease. Your pediatric cardiologist will want your pediatrician or family doctor to check your child regularly.
A child with a heart defect usually gets through common childhood illnesses as quickly and as easily as children with normal hearts. Sometimes parents think that their child with heart disease will need more medicine to get through an illness but this is usually not true. Also, your child doesn't need antibiotics to help prevent infections with a few notable exceptions (e.g., children with heterotaxy syndromes like asplenia or in some cases of DiGeorge syndrome). Some parents think that giving their child antibiotics before the child is very sick will prevent the illness from getting worse. This also isn't true and may make the infection more serious and more likely to be resistant to the antibiotic that's given.
It's best to remember that preventing infection starts with good hygiene, good nutrition and common sense. Frequent hand washing (or using water-free hand washes) especially during the cold and flu season and avoiding ill contacts is a good way to prevent illness. Try to avoid crowded settings like shopping malls if your child's doctor is concerned that your child wouldn't tolerate an infection. You may want to discuss with your child's doctor or nurse if it's appropriate to have your child in daycare.
Your child should have routine care and the standard immunizations that your doctor recommends for all children. Your child may also need additional immunizations, such as the influenza vaccine. If your child has certain heart defects, a special monthly immunization for a cold virus (RSV) may be recommended during the winter months.
Although IE is uncommon, children with some heart defects have a greater risk of developing it. Good dental hygiene goes a long way toward preventing heart infection by reducing the risk of a tooth or gum infection. The American Heart Association has also recently updated guidelines for preventing endocarditis. Your pediatric cardiologist will give you more information about the guidelines.
If you have questions, ask the pediatric cardiologist or nurse.

In the study of number theory (and in other branches of mathematics) presence of Hecke Algebra and Hecke Operator is very prominent.
One of the many ways to define the Hecke Operator $T(p)$ is in terms of double coset operator corresponding to the matrix $ \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 \\ 0 & p \end{bmatrix}$ .
On the other hand Hecke Algebra $\mathcal{H}(G,K)$ associated to a group $G$ of td-type ( topological group, such that every neighborhood of unity contains a compact open subgroup), where $K$ is a compact open subgroup of $G$ is defined as the space of locally constant compactly supported $K$ bi-invariant functions on $G$. Convolution product makes it an associative algebra.
I was told that the hecke algebra $\mathcal{H}(Gl(2,\mathbb{Q}_p) , Gl(2,\mathbb(Z)_p))$ corresponds to the classical algebra of hecke operators attached to $p$ via Satake Isomorphism Theorem. Using Satake Isomorphism theorem I can show $\mathcal{H}(Gl(2,\mathbb{Q}_p) ,Gl(2,\mathbb(Z)_p))$ is commutative and finitely generated over $\mathbb{C}$.
So my question is how one uses Satake Isomorphism Theorem (or otherwise) to see this? And secondly in general what is the relation between hecke operators and hecke algebra?

|This is the article on the chapter. For the ninjutsu, head to Steaming Danger Tyranny.
"Steaming Danger Tyranny!!" (蒸危暴威!!, Jōki Bōi!!) is chapter 557 of the original Naruto manga.
The Allied shinobi look up to the steam in the sky and it begins to hail. Ōnoki notes that the steam is being cooled down at the high altitudes and becoming hail. The steam condenses itself into the shape of a boy. The Tsuchikage explains the Mizukage's technique. The clone begins attacking, and it's able to dodge Gaara's sand. Ōnoki tells Gaara to ignore the clone and go after the Mizukage, who should be weak due to the technique. A sensor shinobi detects the Mizukage. The clone moves very fast, attacking all in its path. Back-up shinobi arrive. Ōnoki's back still isn't good. Gaara begins trapping the Mizukage in sand again, but the Sealing Team is interrupted by the clone, which rips the sealing tags. The Mizukage's head emerges from the sand, telling Gaara that as long as he has oil, his sand won't be of use. The Mizukage presses on them to defeat them, and Ōnoki suggests he keeps giving them advice. The Mizukage refuses on the grounds that if they can't defeat him by their own skill, they have no chance against those who summoned him, and confesses himself disappointed with Gaara. His clone explodes again. Naruto, Temari and other shinobi pick up their pace towards the location. The Allied shinobi are protected by Gaara's shield of sand. Gaara attacks the clone, which dodges his sand again. The clone strikes Gaara, who is revealed to be a sand clone. Gaara reveals himself from the ground and is able to capture the clone with his sand, much to the Mizukage's surprise. The clone explodes again, but the sand merely falls apart, revealing a gold shell. Gaara explains that he hid some of his father's Gold Dust in the sand clone, putting it in the Mizukage's clone, slowing it down and dissipating the heat, melting the gold and making the shell. The Mizukage is impressed by Gaara's strategy and with Gaara.

In case you haven't heard, President Obama is considering appointing Chuck Hagel, a former United States senator from Nebraska and a Purple Heart winner, as the next secretary of defense — and this has triggered a minifirefight among Hagel critics and supporters. I am a Hagel supporter. I think he would make a fine secretary of defense — precisely because some of his views are not "mainstream." I find the opposition to him falling into two baskets: the disgusting and the philosophical. It is vital to look at both to appreciate why Hagel would be a good fit for Defense at this time.The disgusting is the fact that because Hagel once described the Israel lobby as the "Jewish lobby" (it also contains some Christians). And because he has rather bluntly stated that his job as a U.S. senator was not to take orders from the Israel lobby but to advance U.S. interests, he is smeared as an Israel-hater at best and an anti-Semite at worst. If ever Israel needed a U.S. defense secretary who was committed to Israel's survival, as Hagel has repeatedly stated — but who was convinced that ensuring that survival didn't mean having America go along with Israel's self-destructive drift into settling the West Bank and obviating a two-state solution — it is now.I am certain that the vast majority of U.S. senators and policy makers quietly believe exactly what Hagel believes on Israel — that it is surrounded by more implacable enemies than ever and needs and deserves America's backing. But, at the same time, this Israeli government is so spoiled and has shifted so far to the right that it makes no effort to take U.S. interests into account by slowing its self-isolating settlement adventure. And it's going to get worse. Israel's friends need to understand that the center-left in Israel is dying. The Israeli election in January will bring to power Israeli rightists who never spoke at your local Israel Bonds dinner. These are people who want to annex the West Bank. Bibi Netanyahu is a dove in this crowd. The only thing standing between Israel and national suicide any more is America and its willingness to tell Israel the truth. But most U.S. senators, policy makers and Jews prefer to stick their heads in the sand, because confronting Israel is so unpleasant and politically dangerous. Hagel at least cares enough about Israel to be an exception.No one captured the despair in Israel better than Bradley Burston, a columnist for the Israeli newspaper Haaretz, who wrote the other day: "This year, for Hanukkah, I want one person running this country, this Israel, to show me one scrap of light. One move — any move — for freedom, for all the peoples who live here. One step — no matter how slight — in the direction of a better future. What makes this Hanukkah different from all others? It's the dark. It's the sense that this country — beset by enemies, beset by itself — has locked down every single door against the future, and sealed shut every last window against hope. ... This country has begun to feel like a lamp whose body is cracked and whose light seems all but spent. On these long nights, we can make out little but an occupation growing ever more permanent, and a democracy growing ever more temporary."So, yes, put me in the camp of those who think that a few more bluntly outspoken friends of Israel in the U.S. cabinet would be a good thing.The legitimate philosophical criticism of Hagel concerns his stated preferences for finding a negotiated solution to Iran's nuclear program, his willingness to engage Hamas to see if it can be moved from its extremism, his belief that the Pentagon budget must be cut, and his aversion to going to war again in places like Iraq and Afghanistan, because he has been to war and knows how much can go wrong. Whether you agree with these views or not, it would be nothing but healthy to have them included in the president's national security debates.For instance, it's impossible for me to see how America can secure its interests in Iran, Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Bahrain and Lebanon without ending the U.S.-Iran cold war in the Middle East. I'm skeptical that it's possible. I think the Iranian regime needs hostility with America to justify its hold on power. But with sanctions really biting Iran, I'd like to test and test again whether a diplomatic deal is possible before any military strike. I think Hamas is dedicated to Israel's destruction and has been a disaster for the Palestinians. But it is a deeply rooted organization. It controls Gaza. It is not going away. I don't think America or Israel have anything to lose by engaging Hamas to see if a different future is possible. I think the world needs a strong America to maintain global stability. But the "fiscal cliff" tells you that our defense budget is coming down and we need to cut with a smart strategic plan. I think it would be useful to have a defense secretary who starts with that view and does not have to be bludgeoned into it.So, yes, Hagel is out of the mainstream. That is exactly why his voice would be valuable right now.Obama should grow a pair and quit letting McCain having a veto over the cabinet.

NEW YORK -- The price of oil is rising on concerns about supplies from the Middle East and the North Sea.
Benchmark crude is up $1.46 to $90.79 a barrel in New York Tuesday. In London, Brent crude, which is used to price international varieties of oil, rose $1.99 to $113.81.
Analysts say that some North Sea oil rigs have been slow to resume production after undergoing maintenance. There is also concern that an escalation of the situation in Syria could disrupt supplies from the Middle East.
Worry about supplies seemed to overcome bearish news from the International Monetary Fund, which cut its global growth forecast to 3.3 percent for this year from 3.5 percent.
In the U.S., the average price for a gallon of gasoline fell less than a penny to $3.815.

Compare his net spend to other clubs, something even our former manager and Phil Neville where even saying, its not comparable. He basically just trades.
No they don't.
You realize Im talking recently dont you?To not want to be in Europe is dumb.
Not to want to be in the ridiculous qualifying rounds isn't. Straight into the group stages? Great. Start the season in July and watch us crumble on all fronts? Nah.
We owe Big Sam nothing, yet.
The Europa league needs a complete overhaul, the amount of games you have to play to win it is fucking ridiculous, and the champions league drop outs need fucking off to.
This is definitely true. Especially the cl dropouts. It was all better as knockout competitions to be honest. The league stuff is bs.
Exactly, would also means less games to win the thing.

Sir John Gurdon might have had an awful school report as a kid, but he has the most amazing hair Cambridge has ever seen. This year, he shares the Nobel Prize with Japan's Shinya Yamanaka for stem cell research.
Since he is sharing the prize with a Japanese researcher, Sir Gurdon has been appearing on Japanese television a lot—and so has his magnificent hair. Artist Akira Yasuda, better known by his pen name Akiman, does his spin on the British scientist by remixing him with another man known for amazing hair.
How awesome is it to see Akiman, Street Fighter II's artist, turn this Nobel Prize winner into Guile?

Every Sunday morning, residents of Beit Jala, a village outside Bethlehem, gather for mass at the Latin Church. As a small community of Christian Palestinians, families come with their children to sing, pray and take communion.
There, they protest the planned Israeli construction of the settlement barrier in the valley which will eventually make its way through the farming land of 58 Beit Jala residents.
On Sunday, Sept. 13, Father Aktham was joined by religious leaders from across Palestine, including Bishop Munib Younan, President of the Lutheran World Federation, to protest the confiscation of residents' land.
The religious leaders arrived to show support for the Christian Palestinian community, whose lands and livelihood from the olive trees are currently being destroyed to make way for the imposing wall.
Alongside them were locals and activists from Bethlehem, many of whom were Muslim Palestinians who arrived to show support for their Christian neighbours.
"[The Cremisan Valley] is Christian land, not Muslim land, but they are entering the fight together," said Bethlehem local and photojournalist Mohammad Abdalla.
"It's good, because they are shaking hands together, they are [against] the occupation together. [The Muslim protestors] saw something wrong and want to change it. They are doing something from the heart."
Christian and Muslim locals, alongside activists and journalists, stood by the religious leaders who had gathered at Bir 'Ona, reading passages from the bible before marching peacefully down through the valley.
"God please give us peace," they chanted, as members of the Beit Jala community and their fellow protesters followed behind, waving Palestinian flags.
On the either side where the protesters walked, the ground had turned to dust, uprooted olive trees lying in piles.
"This was my land," said Issa Elshatleh, one of the landowners, pointing to rubble and uprooted trees.
The remnants of the gas hung in the air, stinging the eyes of protesters.
For many of the religious leaders who had walked alongside Father Aktham in prayer, the throwing of rocks and retaliation from the Israeli army countered their aspirations for peaceful protest.
"We are here to pray, not to throw stones,' commented one of the priests. Along with Bishop Younan Munib, a number of priests and bishops left the area.
Father Aktham and Greek Orthodox priest Boulos remained alongside a small crowd who gathered in front the Israeli soldiers, waving flags and looking out across the Cremisan land.
Greek Orthodox Priest Boulos read passages from the bible as journalists and protestors stood by the Israeli Occupation Forces, who had cornered off access to swaths of the valley.
The crowd dispersed not long after the protest began. They were followed by the Israeli soldiers whose guns were raised to ensure the protesters fully vacated the valley.
Previous protests have ended in violence and arrests. But today, the crowd peacefully dissipated, having had their voices heard.

Flood peak of up to 19m expected early Wednesday morning
ADVICE from the Bureau of Meteorology at 5pm on Tuesday indicates that major flood levels are rising at Gympie.
At 4.10pm on Tuesday the river was at 17.14 metres.
Further river rises will occur during Tuesday evening with a flood peak up to 19 metres in the early hours of Wednesday morning.
This forecast peak is below the January 28 flood peak of 19.98 metres.
Residents and business operators in localities which may be impacted are urged to monitor river height bulletins, stay tuned to local radio stations and take action to evacuate to higher ground if required.
Highway expected to be cut at Kybong for next 24 hours
SUNSHINE Coast Local Disaster Management Coordinator Alan Rogers said the Bruce Highway will be closed at Kybong for the next 24 hours to traffic heading north to Gympie.
"There is also no access for heavy vehicles or cars to Gympie via Kin Kin," Mr Rogers said.
"Six Mile Creek is over roads at Cooran and Kin Kin which is preventing vehicular access from Pomona northbound into Kin Kin.
"Heavy vehicle drivers, travellers and visitors to the region will not be able to get through to Gympie and will need to make alternative travel arrangements.
"An evacuation centre is open at Nambour Civic Centre, 60-64 Currie St, Nambour. For more information call council's customer contact centre on 5475 7272.
"Check council's website www.sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au or Main Roads website www.131940.qld.gov.au to find out about road closures across the region.
"Importantly, remember, if it's flooded - forget it."
Mary expected to peak at 18m late Tuesday
INFORMATION received from the Bureau of Meteorology indicates that the Mary River is expected to peak at 18 metres later in the evening of Tuesday 26th February.
Road and bridge closures are in force throughout the Region as a result of flash flooding and inundation by floodwaters.
The Normanby Bridge is now closed to traffic as a result of flooding.
Gympie Regional Council staff and Emergency Services personnel are positioned on Gympie's Southside and in Gympie City.
Road closures are in place throughout the region and will be put in place in business districts and other localities as required.
"I strongly discourage residents and visitors from sightseeing and driving into localities where evacuations may be underway. Having unnecessary traffic and people in these areas is both a hazard and hindrance to businesses who are in the processes of evacuation," Cr Dyne said.
"I urge people to take heed of weather warnings, stay indoors if they can, drive to the conditions, and avoid flooded or closed roads. The simple message is: If it is flooded - forget it."
The Gympie Region Local Disaster Management Group (LDMG) met this morning at 8am.
>>Gympie flood inundation heights
40 businesses expected to flood as Gympie hits 18m peak
ALMOST 40 businesses are expected to impacted by Gympie's 18m flood today with the local disaster management group in full swing.
Gympie Region Local Disaster Management Group (LDMG) Chair Cr Ron Dyne, said the group was activated at 9pm on Monday night.
"Information received from the Bureau of Meteorology indicates that the Mary River is expected to peak at 18metres later in the evening of Tuesday 26th February,'' the mayor said in a statement released just after 815am today.
"Road and bridge closures are in force throughout the region as a result of flash flooding and inundation by floodwaters.
"Businesses and residents in low lying areas which are likely to be impacted are implementing flood plans and evacuating where necessary.
"Early estimates indicate that up to 39 businesses are likely to be impacted.
Evacuation centres throughout the Gympie Region are on standby with the Southside Centre at the Gympie Show Pavilion currently in operation.
The Disaster Coordination Centre hotline has now been activated.
All enquiries about flood related information and assistance in the Gympie Region can now be directed to 075482 6399.
The LDMG is monitoring the weather situation and Mayor Dyne urged residents and visitors to put safety first.
"I urge people to take heed of weather warnings, stay indoors if they can, drive to the conditions, and avoid flooded or closed roads," Cr Dyne said. "The simple message is: If it is flooded - forget it."
Gympie Hospital cancels scheduled appointments
GYMPIE Hospital has cancelled scheduled appointments for Tuesday and Wednesday because of flooding.
The following clinics have been cancelled:
- Chemotherapy
- Specialist outpatients
- Theatre
Hospital staff have been able to contact most but not all patients who had scheduled appointments today and tomorrow.
The patients will be contacted during the week for rescheduling.
The hospital has apologised for the inconvenience.
Mayor tired of dealing with Gympie's floods
UPDATE: It is a town that "knows how to do floods", but after up to five of them in just two years, Gympie Mayor Ron Dyne is tired of it.
Already the Bruce Highway at Traveston, to the south of the town, has been cut with authorities warning it could remain blocked until this afternoon.
More rain is expected, even after 320mm fell in the upper Mary catchment in the past 24 hours.
Speaking to ABC Radio on Wednesday morning, Cr Dyne said businesses were "not coping real flash" and needed support as the town again faced down serious inundation.
"People are sick of the rain - we've had enough," he said.
"Only last week there was minor flooding and a couple weeks before that on Australia day there was 20.3m flooding.
"It had a major impact on business in the CBD."
Cr Dyne said he had heard no reports of any businesses considering leaving the town, but added the council was preparing a flood mitigation strategy.
"People say that Gympie is used to flooding and we know how to do floods," he said.
"But it's something we would rather not be known for."
Evacuation centres are open at the town's Pavillion conference centre and civic centre.
Kidd Bridge closed due to flooding as businesses evacuate
UPDATE 4.40AM: Kidd Bridge has been closed due to flood waters and Normanby Bridge will go under today as the Bureau of Meteorology predicts a major flood of 18m in Gympie.
Businesses and sporting clubs spent last night evacuating premises in wet conditions while emergency services activated the Gympie Local and District Disaster Management Group as a result of the heavy rainfall in the area.
Police have advised that the Normanby Bridge will be cut by flood waters around 9am Tuesday.

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announced Thursday that Robert Plaze, the deputy director of the Division of Investment Management, is retiring from public service at the end of August after almost 30 years at the SEC. The agency announced the same day that it has named John J. Cross III the director of the agency's new Office of Municipal Securities.
Plaze, who has been a key architect of the rules governing investment advisors, investment companies, and private fund advisors, joined the SEC in 1983 as an attorney in the Division of Investment Management, which oversees the multitrillion-dollar investment management industry, and went on to become a Special Counsel, Assistant Director, Associate Director for Regulatory Policy, and Deputy Director.
"Few people have had as great an impact shaping the regulatory landscape for the benefit of individual investors," said SEC Chairwoman Mary Schapiro in a statement. "Bob's keen intellect and passion for investor protection have been central to virtually every significant rule affecting mutual funds and investment advisers for more than a generation."
Norm Champ, Director of the Division of Investment Management, said in the same statement that "Bob has been instrumental in the creation of the regulatory regime for investment advisers and investment companies. He has worked in numerous capacities in the division and has had a long and distinguished career working on behalf of investors."
Plaze was most recently responsible for rulemaking regarding money-market mutual funds and to implement a Dodd-Frank Act requirement for hedge fund and other private fund advisers to register with the SEC. The SEC lists his other critical roles as: rulemaking to improve mutual fund governance practices; to include fee tables in mutual fund prospectuses; to standardize the method of calculating mutual fund performance used in advertisements; to require mutual funds and investment advisers to adopt compliance programs; to require investment advisers to deliver a plain-English brochure to clients, and to protect pension funds and other investors from "pay-to-play" practices.
The new Office of Municipal Securities was previously part of the Division of Trading and Markets until the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act called for the creation of a standalone office that reports directly to the chairman and administers commission rules regarding advisors, issuers, broker-dealer practices, and investors in the municipal securities market. The office also will coordinate with the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board (MSRB).
For the past several years, Cross has been serving as the associate tax legislative counsel in the Office of Tax Policy at the U.S. Treasury Department, where he has had significant responsibility for legislative, regulatory and budgetary tax matters affecting municipal bonds.

Actress Ellen Page has been out for just a month and is apparently already receiving anti-gay messages.
As the Huffington Post reports, Page took to Twitter this weekend to shut down an anti-gay pastor who allegedly sent her a private message, who took issue with her sexuality.
Though Page didn't post the alleged anti-gay message, the "Juno" star tweeted out a response to the pastor to her nearly 900,000 Twitter followers.
"2 da Pastor who wrote me-Being gay isn't a belief.My soul isnt struggling& I don't want arms of Heavenly Father around me.A girls arms? Yes," she wrote on March 22.
Page, 26, came out last month during a moving speech at The Human Rights Campaign's Time to Thrive conference.
"I'm here today because I am gay," she said. "I'm standing here today, with all of you, on the other side of all that pain."
She said she suffered for years because she couldn't come out.

Complete Story
Supreme Court asks for government view on Cablevision DVR case
By: James Vicini and Yinka Adegoke, Rueters
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday asked for the federal government's views of an appeal by film studios and television networks of a ruling that would allow a new digital video recorder service by New York cable operator Cablevision Systems Corp.
At issue in the case is a ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals in New York that Cablevision's proposed service would not directly infringe the copyrights of the media companies that produce movies and television programs.
Cablevision in 2006 announced plans to offer a network-based DVR system, called Remote Storage Digital Video Recorder -- or RS-DVR -- which would allow subscribers to store TV programs on the cable operator's computer servers and then play them back at will.
A number of film studios and major television networks, including Time Warner Inc, News Corp, CBS Corp and Walt Disney Co, sued in seeking to block the new service for violating copyright laws. They won before a federal judge, but lost before the appeals court.
"We interpret the Supreme Court's step to ask the Justice Department for their thoughts on this case as a slight negative for Cablevision and to a lesser degree, other cable operators," said Thomas Eagan, an analyst at Collins Stewart.
Other cable companies including Comcast Corp and Time Warner Cable Inc have said they would launch similar systems over time if Cablevision's is upheld as legal.
Industry analysts estimate cable companies could save tens of millions of dollars spent on DVR boxes and installation expenses if the remote technology is approved.
Eagan said Cablevision could save up to $100 per set-top box but also $50 per customer on the cost of sending out a service representative for home service, and help reduce the rate of customer losses by 30 percent.
Cablevision serves over 3 million customers in the New York metropolitan area. Its annual outlay on DVR boxes is one of its largest expenses.
The Supreme Court asked the Justice Department's solicitor general to file a brief expressing the views of the federal government. It could take several months for that brief to be filed.
After it is filed, the Supreme Court then will decide whether to hear or reject the appeal.
Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Samuel Alito did not take part in considering the case. Such recusals often happen when a justice owns stock in one of the companies involved in a case.

It turned out to be a 'whitsunny' weekend, during Hollands biggest kitesurf event on Notorious Beach in Noordwijk. This year, all the elements were right for the Kite Board Open (KBO). Professional kitesurfers, rookies and amateurs joined together with sun admirers and party people. And there was wind.
On Sunday may 31st the event started early in the morning, when kiters from all over Europe crawled out of their vans to get the gear on the beach and a big up of coffee in the sun. Although the wind started out offshore, the forecast predicted a change of direction in the afternoon.
It just gave everyone enough time to wake up and walk around the festival area, where the newest gear was ready to be tested, free surf- and kayak clinics were offered, breakfast was served and DJ's were getting in the mood. And obviously, also the pros need some time to show up.
National and international professionals usually never tend to skip the KBO. It's a party guaranteed, all about the sport and has a totally relaxed atmosphere. This year the event unfortunately missed out on some big pros because of the Triple S event on the US east coast. Nevertheless, there were enough pros around to watch and enjoy.
'Legend' Marc Shinn showed off, as well as UK champ Jo Wilson, Dominican hunk Jan Marcos Riveras (whose skills really came through during the beachparty, red.), Dutch homie and champ Jalou Langeree and Ania Grzelinska and many others. But funnily enough, the most important people during this event are not the pros, but always the rookies. It gives them the opportunity to present them selves and hopefully attract enough attention to get a sponsorship.
At the end of a mellow Sunday, the wind did change a bit more to side shore and so the first heat could finally start. It was great to finally see the kites up, but the wind was still a bit gusty. After two hours, the competition was completed and everyone just came in for the beach party, which was absolutely rocking the tables!
On Monday, the weather gods decided that everyone deserved a little wind. And so, in the afternoon, the wind changed turned side shore and with 17 knots it delivered all the ingredients a kitesurf event needs. Because of the great temperature, ever shining sun and a huge crowd on the beach, the vibes could not have been better. The rookies,' Chicks Only' and the Pro's all got a chance to complete their freestyle competition and the visitors were treated with a spectacular show.
At the end of a long and exhausting weekend, you could say that this year's KBO was an absolutely perfect one! Untill next year!!

Choose one for Jackie Evancho: Stardom now or a real singing career later?
I was delighted to discover during Tuesday night's "America's Got Talent" that my handwringing about Jackie Evancho's falsely adult sound and the evils of network television was premature. Her performance of the "Pie Jesu" from Andrew Lloyd Webber's 1986 "Requiem" was astonishing in all the right ways. Listen on the clip above. The sound was natural and uncovered, vibrato was achieved with very little wagging of the chin (a dead giveaway for poor technique) and her phrasing and intonation are the envy of many a professional.
Much of the anxiety music teachers express when they talk about Evancho's voice is worry about it being permanently damaged before it reaches full potential. If the 10-year-old girl wishes to pursue a career as an opera singer, this is a justifiable concern, but what if she doesn't want to wait until she's 30 or 40 (the age most opera singers become established) for the money to roll in?
Evancho has a rare natural talent and will have it for the rest of her life. But the Simon Cowells of the world don't trade in futures. The inevitable Christmas record will sell millions of copies, but then what?
If Evancho follows the same road as Charlotte Church, she will be worth $40 million by the time she finishes high school -- piles more than she would ever make as an opera singer. By that point she likely will have destroyed her voice -- but she would no longer need it to earn a living.
The Julie Andrews model is: perform in a weekly revue and on radio while taking singing lessons; move to minor music roles in teenage years and then debut on Broadway at 19.
Evancho's parents have a tough decision to make even if she doesn't advance, especially since child stars are very rarely successful as adult performers.
Since "America's Got Talent" viewers are voting to decide Jackie's fate, she is, in a way, our responsibility. If you were her parents, what would you do? Jump for the sure thing (record deal now) or wait to see what happens when she is an adult and can make her own decision about her voice?
Discuss in our comments section below.

New Site - Contract signed with Camp Ramblewood
It is with excitement that I relay the news that we have signed a contract with Camp Ramblewood for this year's upcoming Gathering of Men.
You can find a bit of information about the location at http://www.ramblewood.com
Ramblewood is less than 2 hr. north of downtown DC, near Havre de Grace, MD. The photos on the Ramblewood website do not do it justice. It is a secluded location with a beautiful pond, outdoor pavillion, well maintained cabins, acres of wooded hiking trails, frontage on the Susquehana River, and many other features that make it an ideal location for us.
Stay tuned for our plans for this year's gathering. We are confident that our partership with Ramblewood will continue for years to come. I look forward to seeing you in October!!

One of the key ingredients to success on the Web is rapid iteration, and to do so, eliciting user feedback is a must. As we know, TechCrunch is a breeding ground for avid beta testers keen to provide input and suggestions. Yet, more often than not, when we do offer feedback to a site all we receive in return is an auto-reply, thank-you email. When was the last time you submitted feedback to a site that was then followed up with an actual acknowledgment that the bug was fixed or the feature integrated? My guess, not very often.
Kampyle—yet another Yossi Vardi startup from Israel—has developed a feedback management platform aimed at assisting site owners better manage this feedback loop and, along the way, increase customer loyalty and satisfaction. The underlying premise here being that users expect not only to be heard, but also responded to. This is especially true when providing feedback on services, products or customer experiences. Sites that manage their feedback right end up with deeper customer engagement, lower shopping cart abandonment, and better usability.
There are four moving parts in Kampyle's feedback analysis platform:
1. Collection: A feedback collection form (see screenshot on right) is launched through buttons scattered across a site. Kampyle will roll out advanced customization options throughout the coming weeks.
2. Analysis: Kampyle provides user feedback along with contextual data such as screen resolution, browser type, operating system, etc. Slicing and grouping functionality delivers a greater understanding of why an issue occurred, which ultimately translates into what to do about it.
3. Management: Data and suggested corrective actions are arranged in intuitive dashboards. Data is exportable to XML & Excel. Nothing much to write home about here.
4. Action: CRM-like functionality completes the feedback loop by allowing site owners to inform groups and individual users of the corrective action they have taken. The notification even includes a link to where the fix was made and offers a thumbs-up/down rating to further express satisfaction.
All-in-all a wide variety of companies can benefit from a service such as Kampyle's, which is bridging the gap between CRM and site-side analytics. Extending the CRM functionality to piggyback on full-blown CRM platforms such as SalesForce, SugarCRM, and even Zoho would go a long way in popularizing the service.
Kamplye is still in closed beta so pricing is yet to be established, but once the service is commercially available 250 TechCrunch readers will get their first month free. Sign-up here to get on the list.

Even better: a lot of us couldn't afford one of those cool Archimedes machines back then, so finally here's our $25 chance to get a taste of what we missed. I've never used RiscOS until tonight and although I'm still a bit lost and it's very different from other OSes, memories of AmigaOS and TOS come to my mind. One very cool thing is the BASIC interpreter and the single-user CLI.Call me cynical but I suspect that what you lot like most about RiscOS is simply that it's RiscOS! You were all using it in the 80s so it's great for you to see it back!
Will it be possible to control the GPIO via BASIC? I guess not, but that would be a cool feature.
