Tuesday is Constitution Day, a uniquely American holiday and far more unique than the Fourth of July. Many countries celebrate an independence day. But only the United States has a 226-year-old written Constitution that authoritatively shapes its national life.
Other countries, such as France, have lived under many regimes; for the French, the nation is something distinct from the form of government. Not so for Americans, who have lived since the 1780s under the same "regime." The significance of this seems to escape us. We revere our Constitution blandly, not troubling ourselves to know very much about it and without reflecting much about what it says about our national identity.
Ties of race, religion and ethnicity have never been what bound Americans. We think of "diversity" as a recent issue, but the conduct of American life has always involved the negotiation of profound differences. The Constitution took it as given that such differences and human imperfections would generate conflicts. Ambitious individuals and power-hungry interests would always be among us; their dangerous energies had to be properly channeled.
The Constitution is, accordingly, short on soaring rhetoric and long on procedure, laying out the complex rules of political engagement. Behind the familiar formula of checks and balances is a powerful idea: Rather than trying to prevent conflict, this Constitution would presume conflict and even institutionalize it, thereby directing its effects to the general good. Like an internal combustion engine, the Constitution uses the explosions within its chambers to drive the effort of American governance.
But for that very reason it isn't conducive to smooth or unanimous action flowing from centralized power. Indeed, the craving for centralized unanimity is precisely what it most distrusts.

Owner info
Year Purchased: 2004
About the owner: What more can we say ~ we honeymooned in the Smokies! And we both fell in love all over again - with the Great Smokies! Never missing a chance to return to those beautiful mountains, we spent many vacations there, as a couple, with friends and family, and then with our children, exploring, hiking, rock-jumping at Chimney park, picnicing, playing in the river, horseback riding, biking Cades Cove, tubing, visiting Cherokee, occasionally crossing paths with a bear, and more! It didn't take us long to decide we wanted to have a place in the Smokies and eventually purchased our little half-acre in Wears Valley, which we discovered quite by accident one day as we were out exploring the area. (You never know where a little mountain road will lead and we seldom pass-up a chance to 'take the road less traveled'). In 2004 we completed construction of Whisperwind and have been sharing it, and the Smokies, with our guests ever since. We'd be delighted to count you among them!
Why the Owner Chose Wears Valley:
Because of our enjoyment of the entire Smokies area and all that the GSMNP has to offer, when a little piece of land came up for sale just one mile from the Wears Valley/Metcalf entrance into the National Park, we couldn't pass it up. For several years prior to building, when we visited the Smokies we would pack a picnic lunch, drive to our property, park the truck, hike one mile to the national park entrance and one mile more to Metcalf Bottoms Picnic Area in the park -- enjoy our lunch, splash in the river, watch for bears (yes, they 'picnic' too) -- and hike back to our property after a delightful outing. We often drive to Metcalf now and walk the picnic loops - its a great exercise program! And if visitors picnicing at Metcalf only knew where that little blacktop road across the one-lane bridge leads to...!
The Unique Benefits at this Cabin:
Our cabin is located, as the mountain folk say, 'down looking up'. That means we get to enjoy the beautiful mountains without having to drive those 'exciting' mountain roads. Our land was once part of a tobacco farm and, while there are homes/cabins nearby, we still very much have that rural, countryside feel with old barns and scattered empty acres everywhere. We feel we truely are in the middle of it all. Take your pick...Just 1 mile from the cabin, the Wears Valley/Metcalf entrance into the GSMNP will take you to Gatlinburg along Little River Road right thru the National Park, with 'zero' traffic lights; Pigeon Forge Parkway is just 9 miles away on Hwy. 321N; and Hwy. 321S takes you to Townsend, just 5 miles, and the Townsend entrance to the National Park, including the historically popular Cades Cove. Sometimes when we are in the mood for a drive, we'll make a picnic 'loop trip', heading first to Townsend, & perhaps Cades Cove, and then, taking Little River Road from Townsend, we travel thru the National Park to Gatlinburg (passing Metcalf picnic area along the way), then on to Pigeon Forge, turning toward 'home' at Wears Valley Road in Pigeon Forge. We'll stop along the way to enjoy our picnic lunch - and whatever catches our fancy - and whatever we can catch with our camera!

Porketta sounds like the name of a coquettish Italian piglet, but turns out to be a food-fast spot specializing in crispy-skinned pork rolls. Also spelled porchetta and known as tronchetto, or "little log", this specialty can be enjoyed outside under an umbrella, inside at a stainless steel counter, or packed to go.
Giuseppe Cagnoni, creator of this pork-centric place grew up in Umbria, Italy, on his grandparents' farm and in the trattorias his parents ran. He founded Etruria (Latin for central Italy) to market the olive oil and flavored vinegars produced on his farm along with pastas made by an Umbrian neighbor. Based in San Francisco for 15 years, Giuseppe moved the company to South Florida a few years ago and opened the eatery five months ago with a business partner.
The meat used for the roll comes from the loin, ribs and belly of purebred pasture-raised Berkshire hogs with marbled sweet meat. Once de-boned, the flattened mid-section is stuffed with a mixture of rosemary, garlic, fennel pollen, salt and pepper, and rolled up. The roll is stitched on the seam, tied with twine and roasted, with the fat drained off. When room temperature, it is sliced into thin pinwheels for piling into crusty ciabatta rolls with a choice of sauces (smoky barbecue, parsley, or spicy chile), gherkins and a shard of crackling or plated with cannelloni beans and broccoli rabe. The bombardino comes on a torpedo-shaped roll and the three little pigs is a trio of small sandwiches on mini rolls.
Also on offer are antipasti, soup of the day, and salads including fior di latte mozzarella with tomatoes and arugula. Friday brings fish specials from red snapper in salt crust to bacalao with black olives. There's also pork rib and oxtail stew specials. Tiramisu ends with a dolce.

David Irving: "Who's on first" routine draws hoots of derision
The site carries a post from David Irving's website entitled:
Lipstadt: Am I my brother's keeper?
Irving begins with a discussion [quite exaggerated of course] of the Bruges affair. He then goes on to identify Marc Kalmann as my brother. Here's what Irving has to say:
Kalmann is the brother of Atlanta Professor Deborah Lipstadt, and she has gone straight into brother-denial. (Don't ask us how they come to use different family names: I remember once interviewing Julius Streicher's son, also a Streicher, for Hard Copy (US television), and him retorting, "We are not the sort of people who change our names.")He"proves" his point by quoting the post sent to me by Kalmann's brother.
Changing names is the kind of things that the Lipstadt's of this world do more often than others.
What a joke. Irving can't figure out that I was quoting the brother NOT identifying Marc Kalmann as my brother.
Attempting to paint me as frightened that this news of"my brother", i.e. Marc Kalmann might emerge and
come to my ears, Deborah Lipstadt has rushed to her damage-control panel, groped in the darkness of her own delirium for the button marked "DENIAL!" but pushed the one marked "PANIC" by mistake. The Internet is awash with fun at her expense.
Someone must have pointed out to David Irving his colossal mistake because when you go to his website the post is gone. www.fpp.co.uk/Auschwitz/Lipstadt/brother_Marc_Kalmann.html
My thanks to the KKK site for capturing it.
What a hoot. Irving [and his friends] can't even read documents he is not trying to lie about.

Wednesday February 19, 2014 MYT 11:50:56 PM
Wednesday February 19, 2014 MYT 11:51:50 PM
by brian ellsworth
CARACAS (Reuters) - Twelve years after they played a key role in a coup, Venezuelan television networks have so heavily scaled back their coverage of anti-government protests that critics are decrying a "media blackout" that helps the government cling to power.
Stations that openly encouraged Venezuelans to take to the streets in 2002 and helped trigger the coup that briefly ousted socialist leader Hugo Chavez are now offering minimal real-time coverage of nearly a week of anti-government protests.
At least four people have died.
When security forces arrested opposition leader Leopoldo Lopez on Tuesday, bringing tens of thousands of supporters into the streets to block the path of the vehicle carrying him, networks that for years covered every twist and turn of Venezuelan politics offered almost no live coverage.
President Nicolas Maduro, who was elected last year after Chavez's death from cancer, scoffs at allegations that his government has restricted free speech, insisting he is simply seeking to prevent the media from causing panic.
But he drew criticism from press freedom groups including Reporters Without Borders by ordering a Colombia-based news channel NTN24 to be removed from cable signal after it broadcast live coverage of violence that started last Wednesday.
"We are deeply concerned about the attempts at creating an information blackout by threatening local media and censoring international media that provide information about events that affect the country's citizens," Venezuela's main reporters' trade union said, also criticizing NTN24's removal from cable.
The political turnaround in Venezuela's broadcast media has happened steadily over the last seven years, beginning with Chavez's 2007 move to take the fiercely critical RCTV station off the air by denying a renewal of its broadcast license.
News channel Globovision, which once focused its coverage on opposition politicians and causes, has changed its editorial line and sharply cut back live broadcasts after a change of management last year.
Twitter is now the primary source for live updates on the melees between rock-throwing protesters demanding an end to Maduro's government and security forces that fire back tear gas.
Venezuelans who grew accustomed to watching live coverage of disturbances during Chavez's rule now complain they are lost in a barrage of tweets that spread false or dated information.
Amid the confusion, rumours surfaced last week that some users connecting via state-run broadband could not see images on Twitter, leading to widespread but false reports that Venezuela had blocked the microblogging site.
When a student was shot dead last Wednesday, triggering the worst violence since Maduro narrowly won the presidential election in April, they did not interrupt their regular programming to report it.
A top Socialist Party official on state television announced the death of a pro-government activist, but those watching Venezuelan channels would not have known the student had died for nearly two hours, when it was confirmed by the top state prosecutor.
NTN24, available only via cable, reported the death of the student, Bassil Dacosta, shortly after it happened, and interviewed two opposition leaders live.
The government then ordered cable providers to cut its signal, accusing it of fomenting violence.
The communication minister said the station had been "focused on overthrowing the constitutional government and stirring up hatred and violence among Venezuelans."
Maduro, who says he will not cede even "a millimetre of power," frequently uses state media to promote his image as the heir of Chavez's self-styled socialist revolution.
He often insults political rivals over the airwaves and sometimes give lengthy addresses via "chain" broadcasts that play on all free access channels.
But live coverage of opposition leaders is now primarily restricted to Internet broadcasts over patchy broadband connections.
"Where is this press conference being shown? Over the Internet, if they haven't blocked that too," state governor Henrique Capriles told reporters on Sunday via his own website in his first major address to the country about the violence.
Globovision, which in the past showed such press conferences in their entirety, broadcast only a 2-minute excerpt of his comments, delayed by half an hour.
Communication Minister Delcy Rodriguez slammed foreign media for slanted coverage of the violence, citing pictures of conflict in Egypt being tweeted by a news organization as if they had taken place this month in Venezuela.
"We're very concerned about images being manipulated by international media," Rodriguez told reporters.
She noted that a journalist from NTN24 had presented a picture of babies sleeping in cardboard boxes as a sign of decaying Venezuelan hospitals even though the picture had in fact come from Honduras.
Government supporters say the country's only true "media blackout" came when networks openly celebrated the 2002 coup but halted coverage as supporters and military loyalists restored Chavez to power.
Media for years ran sensationalist accounts of Chavez's ties to the Iranian government and Colombian rebels, often portraying his supporters as a mass of violent hoodlums.
Two leading opposition newspapers continue to publish defiant coverage that highlights economic problems such as inflation and product shortages.
But reporters associated with another widely read newspaper, Ultimas Noticias, wrote an incensed letter last week blasting a last-minute change to the coverage of Wednesday's violence.
The next day's front page had been drawn up to focus on the deaths during the demonstrations, but was revamped to lead on Maduro's phrase "We are facing a coup."
The journalists said media group Cadena Capriles, which owns Ultimas Noticias, "made the victims of February 12 invisible."
"The environment for the Venezuelan press is becoming more asphyxiating by the day," read the letter signed by 96 reporters. "Television and radio have become simple repeaters of the words of the government, and newspapers are on the same path."

It's been going good; I've gotten a lot stronger and a lot faster. I have been training hard and getting ready for the season. I've also been working on academics.
Have you gone to any schools to take unofficial visits? How were they?
I've been to Georgia, Florida, Duke, and North Carolina. They were all nice. I liked Duke. I'll probably be taking a lot more this summer, as soon as I get out of school, to a lot of different schools. I think when we hit the field this spring there's been a lot of scouts there watching me so I think offers will start rolling in.
Have you visited Maryland before?
No but I'll probably go up that way, because I'd like for my mom to see Duke and I probably will go up there too. When I was in seventh grade, one of the graduate assistants at Maryland, who played at Maryland, played at my high school. I know him and his father real well, and I'll probably go up there. His dad actually told me if it's not against NCAA rules he'd take me up there to see his son and everything.
What schools are you hearing from the most?
I've been kind of flying under the radar. South Carolina, their coach liked me, and they had a guy come over and he said he liked me, and he kind of hinted that in the future there's going to be an offer for me. I think Maryland and Georgia Tech are pretty close; those are the schools I've heard from besides the two I've already got offers from (Duke and Troy).
Which schools have offered you?
Duke and Troy. Central Florida and South Florida both like me a lot. I think that Maryland and Georgia Tech are right on the verge, and the way South Carolina talked they liked me but we'll see where all that goes.
Do you have a Top 5? Can you say a little about each of those schools and why you like them?
I can't really give you a Top 5 yet. I do like Duke, and I have been to Troy. I've got four teammates playing there right now and they all said they really like it. And I really would like to get out to South Carolina. Steve Spurrier's always kind of been my role model with the way he carriers himself and the way he works. I like the way his teams play. So South Carolina could be a big-hitter for me if they offer. And with Georgia Tech and Maryland, really anyone who's recruiting me heavily at this point, they've got a shot. Anyone who throws their name in the hat has a shot to get me. I'm not going to close any doors, and I'll start narrowing it down after I visit schools.
What does your summer schedule look like in terms of camps, showcases and college visits?
We've got two weeks off in the beginning of summer after school, so I'm probably going to go on a road trip, see a lot of schools. If I have some more offers by then, which I probably will, I'll see some more schools that are recruiting me and offering me. Camps this summer are a hit-and-miss, I would like to go to a few camps but our summer schedule for workouts is pretty intense and I try to miss as few of them as I can because I want to be there with my team. But I'd like to get to some schools that are recruiting me hard. I'd like to go down to Miami, probably Georgia, South Carolina definitely, and Georgia Tech maybe. But there's nothing set in stone right now.
What are you looking for in a school?
I want to be around guys who want to win. And guys that want to win aren't the same as people who win on the field. I want to be around guys who are going to bust their butts in the off-season to get ready for the season. I want to see not only guys who win on the field but win off the field. Also a family atmosphere. I'm a winner, I hate losing, so I'd like to go to a school that competes for championships and conference titles and stuff like that. Consistently a high-ranking school. Academics are pretty important too.
Is distance a factor when choosing your school?
No, it won't be. It becomes your second home so distance won't be a factor.
Do you feel more comfortable run blocking or pass blocking?
At our school we're a run-oriented offense, and I just like mauling people and putting them in the dirt so I like run blocking. That's not to say I can't pass block, because I'm a good pass blocker and I'm light on my feet.
Will the type of offense affect where you choose to play?
I'd like to play in a pro-style offense, but I'll be fine in a triple-option. Or if Auburn or somebody who spreads it out recruits me I'll feel comfortable pass-blocking too.
What were your stats this past season?
I finished the season averaging about 13 pancake blocks a game. I didn't give up any sacks this past year. I think my average grade on the year was about a 95, 96.
What are your strengths? Weaknesses?
For strengths, I'm a hard worker, I'm smart, I can do early enrollment. On the field I'm strong in the weight room, and a better run-blocker. Weaknesses, if there were anything I'm looking to improve on, it'd probably be just continuing to get stronger. I'm already a strong guy, but when I go to college I'm going to be squatting 600 pounds and benching around 350. So I just want to continue getting stronger.
What is your overall interest in Maryland?
I do like Maryland, I think Coach Brattan has certainly proved to be one of the best offensive line coaches in the country, and I think Coach Edsall is going to be a great coach at Maryland. Their record last year wasn't that impressive but I'll give him time to let him get his guys in there. If he can have success at UConn, which was a doormat of college football before he got there, than I think he can win anywhere. I think Coach Edsall is going to prove himself and I think Maryland football is going to be back on the rise. So my interest in Maryland would probably be pretty high up there.

Russia signs $35-mln RVV-AE missile deal with Malaysia
April 19, 2012 - 17:09 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - Russia and Malaysia have signed a $35-million contract on the delivery of RVV-AE air-to-air missiles for the Malaysian air force, state-run arms exporter Rosoboronexport said on Thursday, April 19, RIA Novosti reported.
The deal was inked at the Defense Services Asia-2012 arms show currently under way in Malaysia.
"Russia will deliver the first batch of missiles by the end of 2012," Rosoboronexport's Deputy General Director Nikolai Dimidyuk said.
Malaysia has 16 MiG-29N Fulcrum and 18 Su-30MKM Flanker fighters in its combat aircraft fleet.
RVV-AE (AA-12 Adder) is a medium-range active radar-guided missile similar to the American AIM-120 AMRAAM.
It has been in service since 1994.

Train your brain with word puzzles and games
Puzzles offer people of all ages the opportunity to build important skills. Word puzzles in particular require careful focus and attention to solve. Playing with words incorporates pattern recognition, critical thinking and reading skills into one challenging activity. Whether you're looking to teach your kids their letters or want to expand your own vocabulary, Sears has a variety of entertaining puzzles in stock for you to browse.
When choosing word puzzles for you and your family, be sure to consider the ages and skill levels of all participants. Simple puzzles with chunky blocks and wooden pieces provide a basic framework for kids to learn to recognize the alphabet. Older kids can start building vocabulary by working on the daily word puzzles offered by Scholastic. Much like chess, word puzzles engage the brain and make kids think through every step. This is especially important for young children whose brains are still developing. Provide your kids with word-oriented activities at an early age to improve their language skills and prepare them for speaking and reading they'll do in school.
Some word games use dice to give you a starting letter or a series of letters to begin your game. We have a variety of popular options to use on family game nights or during play dates. Players race against a timer to connect letters and make words that are scored based on length. Other games such as Scrabble use tiles instead, encouraging players to build words from the letters they have available in front of them.
Wordplay is great mental exercise for adults as well as kids. Having a good command of the English language allows you to excel in all areas of communication. A good vocabulary is impressive especially when used during presentations at work, emails or in general conversation. Doing a book of crosswords or playing a game requires you to pay attention to how letters and words relate to each other. When you need a break from words, 3D puzzles offer a similar challenge. Instead of putting together pieces on a flat surface, you work to construct a three-dimensional finished piece. Getting your kids involved will help them improve spatial recognition as well as coordination.
From kid-friendly alphabet puzzles to games that challenge you to make as many words as possible from a single set of letters, word puzzles are fun for the whole family. These puzzles can take your family game night to a whole new level. Take a look at what Sears has in stock the next time you're up for a little wordplay.

Monday, 26 Dec 2011 11:43 AM
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Berkshire Hathaway Inc. has completed the purchase of Berkshire chairman Warren Buffett's hometown newspaper, the Omaha World-Herald.
The $200 million deal announced Nov. 30 included $50 million in debt. Under the agreement, Berkshire acquires the World-Herald and daily newspapers in Kearney, Grand Island, York, North Platte and Scottsbluff in Nebraska; the Council Bluffs Nonpareil in Iowa; a number of weekly newspapers; and World Marketing, a direct-mail company with operations in Omaha, Chicago, Dallas, Atlanta and Los Angeles.
World-Herald spokesman Joel Long said Monday that the deal closed Friday. He says World-Herald shareholders — about 275 employees and retirees and the Peter Kiewit Foundation — approved the sale by an overwhelming vote.
Buffett has said the World-Herald "delivers solid profits and is one of the best-run newspapers in America."

RealtyTrac: State's foreclosures fell during first quarter
Published: April 14,2011
Tags: banking and finance, economy, foreclosures, homes, mortgages, real estate
ACROSS MISSISSIPPI — The number of Mississippi homeowners ensnarled in foreclosure dropped during the first quarter of 2011, although lenders still seized 594 properties, a national foreclosure tracking firm said today.
For January-through-March, 1,083 properties in the state were hit by some kind of foreclosure-related action, ranging from an initial default notice to outright repossession, Irvine, Calif.-based RealtyTrac said. Those notices hit one in every 1,184 housing units in Mississippi, ranking the state 46th in the United States.
The number of overall actions was down 43 percent from the fourth quarter of 2010 and 20 percent from the first quarter of 2010, RealtyTrac said.
Nationally, foreclosure-related actions were taken against 681,153 properties during the first quarter — one in every 191 housing units — with 215,046 repossessions, RealtyTrac said. The U.S. figure dropped 14.7 percent from the fourth quarter and 26.9 percent from the first quarter of 2010.
RealtyTrac chief executive James Saccacio said that although U.S. activity fell to a three-year low, an increase in foreclosure activity could occur as lenders refile paperwork that was questioned legally last year. Saccacio warned of a "shadow inventory" of homes where borrowers are behind in their payments, but have yet to show up in foreclosure figures.
Aggravating the situation are declining home prices, weak buyer demand and tight credit, he said.
Among the 211 metropolitan areas ranked by RealtyTrac:
• Gulfport-Biloxi recorded 179 first-quarter foreclosure actions, affecting one in every 613 housing units. That figure was up 2.3 percent from the fourth quarter of 2010, but down 51.5 percent from the first quarter of 2010. Gulfport-Biloxi ranked 179th in RealtyTrac's metro count.
• Jackson had 334 foreclosure actions in the first quarter, hitting one in every 674 housing units. That was down 68.5 percent from the fourth quarter of 2010, but up 9.5 percent from the first quarter of 2010. Jackson ranked 180th on the metro list.

11 days after the abduction of a German archeologist and aid worker in Iraq, Berlin still has no sign from the kidnappers and is far from optimistic the hostage will be released soon.
Negotiating Osthoff's release could take months
German authorities said Monday that all channels were being used in order to establish contact but confirmed that the whereabouts of Susanne Osthoff and her Iraqi driver were still unknown.
In the German capital, the special crisis team working day and night in a bid to make contact with the kidnappers of Susanne Osthoff has so far been without any success.
Wolfgang Bosbach, a senior member of Chancellor Angela Merkel's Christian Democrats, on Monday conceded in an interview with the German TV channel N24 that the government still had no information about the fate of Osthoff. And he was not optimistic about the prospects for a quick solution:
Working around the clock
Motives unclear
Susanne Osthoff was seized on November 25. In a video released last Tuesday, the kidnappers threatened to kill her unless Germany stopped training Iraqi police.
"This is one of the most difficult situations a government can find itself in," said Bosbach. "The hostage's life must be saved, but we cannot give in to political demands."
His statements backed up the position taken by Chancellor Angela Merkel in an interview on public broadcaster ZDF Sunday. Merkel stressed that Berlin would do everything in its power to save Osthoff's life, but reiterated the government's refusal to give in to political blackmail.
"Fortunately, there is broad social consensus on this issue and across the political spectrum," she said.
A video of Osthoff was released shortly after her capture
In order to protect the hostage, the German government is unwilling to speculate either about the motives behind the kidnapping or the identity of the kidnappers.
"We are concerned that making this sort of information public would jeopardize out efforts," said Ruprecht Polenz, head of the Bundestag's Foreign Relations Committee.
Family concerns
Pleading for the hostage's release
Osthoff is a trained archeologist who has been doing aid work in Iraq for several years. The 43 year old convert to Islam was married to an Arab and speaks fluent Arabic.
In Osthoff's home village of Glonn near Munich, people have been gathering for vigils. Candles have been lit at the entrance to the city hall right beneath a photo of Osthoff. The residents of the small Bavarian village are simply shocked, says the mayor Martin Esterl. He met Susanne Osthoff during the Iraq war in 2003 when she was about to set off for her first humanitarian trip to Iraq.
"I personally was very impressed by her," he said. "I got to know her as a woman who is strong-willed, who knows exactly what she wants and who is very committed to her mission of helping the Iraqi people. Susanne Osthoff seemed determined to pursue her goal without compromise."
Muslim solidarity
Nadeem Elyas condemned the kidnapping
I would consider every possible means of saving her life," he said, and called on Muslim leaders around the world to speak out against abuse of Islam's peaceful teachings.
The kidnapping of a German aid worker in Iraq proves that Germany's stark opposition to the US-led war will not be enough to protect the country from terrorism, according to Interior Minister Wolfgang Schäuble. (Nov. 30, 2005)
As the family of kidnapped German archeologist Susanne Osthoff pleaded for her life, a German working in Iraq took stock of the situation. (Dec. 2, 2005)
Ali Najaf and his family fled from civil war in Syria to Bulgaria and eventually to Germany in search of a better life. Krasimir Yankov reports on a Syrian refugee making his way from Sofia to Eisenhüttenstadt.
For the first time since 1969, Germany has balanced its budget. Lawmakers in parliament approved the historic budget, despite repeated outcry from the opposition investment was more important than a "black zero."
Nearly all money is created by commercial banks in the act of lending. They also decide whom to lend it to, and for what purposes. Is this good for the economy? A growing movement is arguing for an alternative.
Audi's CEO has said the first generation of driverless automobiles will be on our roads within the next two years. A few prototypes could make their way onto a public streets even sooner.
The British prime minister has promised a European course he can't hold and is paying the price. Instead of defending the EU, he undermines it, which will not help in his struggle against UKIP, argues DW's Barbara Wesel.

Babatunde Idowu Ebenezer
Day Unto Day.....Who Is On The Lord's Side?
Day unto day, the loudspeaker bare its sound,
Sow the seed of faith and the seed of blessing.
Empty trays passing from hand to hand all round,
Ending its acceleration with the man in lavish dressing.
Day unto day we hear the same message again,
Same process of knocking trays in the pews.
Dare you sow little and be looked upon with disdain,
Your treatment amidst the congregations like that of Jews.
So, day upon day, we sing with loud voices,
In the night, we carry our guns and collect our shares.
In the day, we change a zero to twelve zeros without choices,
For we must retain on Sunday our comfy chairs.
Day unto day who's on the Lord's side?
We are on the Lord's side tough like weeds.
Enormous wealth is the wheel on which the evangelism can only ride,
For no matter what we do we still sow the seeds.
Give a Bible and forget about the seeds and suits,
But I forgot that a Bible can not buy a jet.
Stop telling us the impressive stories wrapped like sweets,
But then to woo us, your lips must be wet.
Just like the Messiah told his true apostles then,
The blind leading the blinds into the abysmal pit of hell.
In their darkness unto darkness to the dark den.
I would rather than joining the queue jump into a deep well.

'How I Met Your Mother' Season 9 Spoilers: HIMYM Hints Mother's Dead?
- Order Reprints
- Text Size
By Keerthi Mohan | March 4, 2014 8:18 PM EST
"How I Met Your Mother" is nearing its end and Monday's episode once again has managed to fuel speculations that the mother might be shown as dead when CBS pulls the curtain on the show at the end of this month.
How I Met Your Mother
Monday's episode, titled "Vesuvius," was replete with hints that the mother is on her way to bite the dust. The episode starts off in the year 2024 and shows Ted and the mother making their way to an inn after braving a snowstorm.
This reminds Ted of a story, and the mother stops him saying she has already heard the particular tale.
"Wow. You know every one of my stories," the mother tells Ted. "And you know every one of mine," he replies. "I guess it's official. We're an old married couple."
Ted and the mother decide to celebrate growing old together by narrating anecdotes. The scene then shifts to Robin and Barney's wedding as Ted starts off a story about how Robin broke the lamp.
Ted says that it is during his best friends' wedding that he realised that the future might not present sufficient opportunities for all of them to be together again.
"And then it hit all of us. We didn't know the last time we'd all be together," Ted says in the present day. "When a moment is too intense…It's best to leave it unspoken," the mother finishes as they exchange a sad look.
In the episode, the mother also proceeds to tell Ted that she is worried he lives in his stories. He urges him to move on with his life instead of living in the past.
"I love your yarns," she says. "I hope you never stop spinning them. You're the love of my life, pooh bear. I just worry about you. I don't want you to be the guy who lives in his stories. Life only moves forward."
Another hint of the mother's imminent death comes when Robin's mother is shown attending her wedding. When Ted expresses his surprise, the mother says that they should have worked out that Robin's mother was going to make it to the wedding at all cost.
"What type of mother misses their daughter's wedding?" the mother says, as Ted bursts out crying.
Theory of the mother being dead has been doing the rounds ever since news emerged that the current season will be the final. Fans feel that Ted is telling the story to his kids in 2030 because their mother is no longer alive. Ted believes his stories will bring his children closer to their mother.
In an earlier episode, Ted talks about wanting to spend more time with the mother, and this further fuelled speculation about the mother's imminent death.
The cast wrapped up filming last week, and Cobie Smulders, who plays Robin in the series, took to her Instagram to share a photo with the message:
"That's a wrap! I feel so grateful to the men and women who made our set a wonderful place to go each day. Thank you."
Smulders earlier said that she burst into tears after she learned the details of how the show is going to end.

Blog: Did the Olympics boost London retail sales?
Petah Marian | 13 August 2012
The curtain has come down on the London 2012 Olympics, and it seems concerns that consumers were avoiding the capital may have been overblown, with more than half of retailers there reporting an increase in demand, according to research released by Deloitte.
The study found that 59% of retailers surveyed reported a rise in demand, and 32% recorded a decline.
"As the heart of London moved east, location has clearly been important, especially for smaller businesses with fewer locations," said Deloitte partner Heather Hancock.
"But for large chains with stores, hotels and restaurants across the capital, opportunities have been there to exploit and it appears sharp, nimble businesses have responded by changing trading hours and moving staff to service their busiest locations."
Indeed, John Lewis experienced a boost, reporting a 22.4% jump in sales over the week ended 4 August. Clothing sales jumped 25.5% over the week, with men's wear and sportswear recording the greatest gains. Meanwhile, sales of London 2012 merchandise soared 51% on the prior week.
"Undoubtedly, the feel-good factor of Team GB's medal success has had a direct impact in uplifting sales, not only in our London shops but also in our branches throughout the country - certainly a great way to start the new half year," the retailer said.
However, Experian Footfall's numbers told a different story. It found retail footfall declined by 9.6% in the first week, and 8.6% in the second week in London against the same period of last year. West London fared better, with a 2.9% decline in the first week, and a 0.94% rise in the second.
"The unparalleled sporting event for a generation brought huge numbers of visitors into London, although their impact in terms of expenditure in the shops remains to be seen," said Experian UK regional director Steve Richardson.
