Close to the airport and inexpensive
Front desk help was rude
close to airport
Booked 2 two weeks in advance and was told that we would have a parking spot. When we got there was told there was no parking available so we had to park at an offsite location and pay extra
I liked the staff
The availability of restaurants in the area
Not available -I had to cancel and find somewhere else. I'm still getting bills
Problems with cancellation
It was an older hotel but in nice condition. The room was clean and very spacious. I would stay there again.
The bfast area down stairs was clean on the counters but walls by table and chairs were filthy.
Clean rooms
WiFi connection was not good, breakfast is poor

Zona Rosa village a shortish drive from the property.
Very unhelpful evening front desk gentleman. Lack of adjacent food and beverage facilities.
You get what you pay for.
Room had dirty carpet, some water damage in bathroom that has been there for a while.
quiet, clean, roomy. Close to restaurants.
Great value for the money. Clean, comfortable rooms. The price was about half of what I have paid before at other hotels in the Kansas City airport area. While the breakfast buffet didn't offer bacon/sausage, the choices were good. Great waffle machine.
Lack of some where to eat
Bed was comfortable. Appreciated the convenience of the airport shuttle and onsite parking. Price was great.
Broken stopper in tub Hair dryer base was about to fall off the wall ironing board was left up and we couldn't figure out how to fold it up to put it away Toilet had brown ring drain pipe under sink was grimey clock was unplugged
Cost, bed, pillows
Breakfast and poor receptionist also had to drive shuttle and tend to breakfast bar! Need more staff
Nothing. Except fridge in our room was good.
First pricing was different. Mattress very lumpy. Our room had only a few outlets and no place for cell. Could not get Internet to stay connected.
didn't get to stay
advertised as parking available with 24 hour shuttle. checked in with the desk mgr. who was little help setting up a ride for an early a.m. flight.after finally getting it set up we parked and retrieved our luggage,as we were coming in the same desk mgr. was outside moving the shuttle van,thats when we were told we could not leave our vehicle for the duration of our 4 day trip,he said he thought we had been "dropped off" at the hotel.how many people do that??? he told us we could cancel-so we did and checked in at the comfort inn next door
Good hotel, clean.
Parking is limited - I was driving a 26' van with a car carrier. Suggest working a deal with adjoining hotel to share parking in their back lot.
Not enought cable channel s
Bed was very comfortable,clean right close to airport worked very well for me
Older hotel needs a few updates in bathroom.
Room was small & felt dirty, found the last guests hat in the room & there was no bath. Our fire alarm beeped through the night. I'd pay double to stay anywhere else
Excellent value for the area. Several excellent dining choices close by.
Breakfast. A passing glance was enough to convince me to pay to eat somewhere else.
It was cheap.

Hula Grill - Kaanapali
Online Reservations
Smaller groups (15-75) will be placed at tables within the centrally located Waterfall Room and must work with our large party coordinator to be booked. Reservations are generally available between 4:45-5:30 pm and again from 8:15-9:30 pm. If you would like to join us in between those times, you may reserve a portion of the Waterfall Room by meeting a set minimum. .
Larger parties will want to consider our Lanai. It's a great space for parties that want a magnificent, unobstructed view of the ocean. Use of the lawn area in front of the lanai and the inside dining area behind the lanai are included in lanai rental.
Parties that need more space or prefer even greater flexibility may want to consider reserving the entire Dining Room. Picture cocktails on the lawn, seating towards the ocean and a buffet located in the back of the dining room.
The entire restaurant can be yours for the night, after 6 pm. A full restaurant buyout allows you the freedom to turn Hula Grill into the venue that meets your exact needs. Included in the price of the buyout are live island music and a short hula show.

Has anyone ever tried silver nails? I for one I've done silver tips on a french mani, but today while I was out with a friend, we got manis, and for a change from purple or any hue in that family, I tried silver, and I love it!!!
If you haven't tried it, you should because it basically goes with everything, especially if you lots of black or just want a change from your normal, go-to hue.

this is my HG concealer! i'm an asian with NC30 oily and acne prone skin. so i need a concealer that can cover my blemishes, last through out the day And match my skin tone. Ideally, i should be able to go without foundation after applying this (or just a light dusting of loosepowder). And this concealer has met all my needs. PLUS, it's oil-free and non-comedogenic!
before this i tried-
1) Shu Uemura concealer & stick foundation - not bad coverage n color matched me well. But MUFE's coverage is better. Also i couldnt find anything on the Shu site to say that their products were non-comedogenic.
2) Clinique Even Better concealer & Acne Clearing Solutions concealer-lousy coverage and color couldnt match me.
3) Estee Lauder - same problem as Clinique
4) Laura Mercier - looked cakey and color was a lil too pinky
5) Amazing Cosmetics - similar coverage as MUFE, but color was a lil too pinky n light. Sephora SA also advised that MUFE will suit oily skin better.
6) Physians Formula - seriously, there are only 2 colors! i dont see how anyone can match the colors they offer. the Light yellow was too light,coverage n lasting power not as good as MUFE. also dont like how the concealer comes out with some liquid sometimes.
7) Canmake cover & stretch UV concealer - ok coverage. am using shade 02 which is a bit too peachy.

This should be a staple in every makeup collection. Not the best range of colors for me personally, as I'm fair and somewhat neutral. These either have yellow or pink undertones. If this weren't such a great formula, I wouldn't splurge on two of these to combine, but I have. The packaging is fantastic - I'm a huge fan of tubes, especially ones that come to a narrow point at the opening - I find I waste less product this way. The formula itself though is where this really performs like a champ. Aside from being one of the best I've come across at spot coverage, this stuff does not budge. While I have some AMAZING foundations that look flawless when first applied, they're always gone or patchy 16 hours later in the heat/humidity of Miami. One day last week was especially brutal, so I combined one dollop of the Make Up For Ever Full Cover with my BB cream (which usually lasts no longer than 4-5 hours). Lo and behold, this combination still held up at hour 14. This stuff is bulletproof! While I still use this as a fantastic spot concealer, it is now the Holy Grail product I use in conjunction with whatever foundation I'm using that day - be it Vichy Dermablend, Nars Sheer Glow, Chanel Lumiere, Laura Mercier (both the TM and silk creme), my beloved Skin79, and yes, I even combine it with my dense cream foundations. It's crazy, because this product sat in my makeup drawer for the longest time, save for those occasions when I needed maximum spot coverage, and now it's one of the few products I consistently use on a daily basis.

Very nice concealer, stays matte forever, unless you have excessive oily skin. It doesn't have enough range of colors for me. I have to buy two shades and mix them to get the perfect match. Overall, it is wonderful.
Fades very quickly on me and emphasizes my pores when I use it alone. It left me feeling very disappointed.
However, it covers really well underneath above Revlon Colorstay foundation. It's also really fantastic because I only need a pinhead to cover my acne.
I suppose I won't be repurchasing because I want to find a concealer that can last long on its own.
Edit: Now I think this stuff is fantastic. I mix it together with my Revlon Colorstay Foundation to improve its staying power and de-emphasize my pores.
FYI: I am NC 25-30 and I use #6. When I get tanned, I mix it with a darker foundation, vice versa. Works like magic now.

NC42 MAC/honey in Bobbi Brown/ 60 mat velvet MAKEUP FOREVER
Indian Asian oily skin
Excellent staying power, covers everything especially if layered. Must apply moisturizer before using it. I apply a good cream and then wait 2 mins. Just a small squirt of this concealer is enough to layer twice. Bottle is a squeezy one, so sanitary and it did go a long way, several months for me, and i use it daily. Does not crease my under eye area. Bought my second bottle. Im a number 8 in it. Highly recommend.

I needed to upgrade my concealer from Benefit's Boi-ing to something a bit more heavy duty. I swatched myself perfectly at Sephora so I bought it. It covers well and has lasting power. It's not heavy or thick and doesn't crease or cake up. It didn't accentuate any flaws on my skin either.
This covers everything and doesn't come off easily at all. I've used every concealer there is and this so far is the best. It works nice for dark circles which I've had since I was little, and it doesn't accentuate lines like most other concealers do.
6 out of 7 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Jumped on the bandwagon - and I'm glad I did! After some trial and error with the shades, I've got a good match and I'm very happy! I'm NC35 and #8 beige was a perfect match. I wouldn't say this completely covers everything as good as a comparable product like Dermablend, however, it does last and last, which is so important. Don't get me wrong, the coverage is awesome, but you do have to layer 2 or 3 thin layers for maximum coverage. I usually used dermablend to cover my issues, but it did slide off my oily skin in the summer. This one stays put like no other. For those who find it too drying for under the eyes, I suggest layering it on top of an eye cream. The Sephora SA applied an eye cream to my undereyes, worked it in, then layered a couple of layers of this concealer, letting each layer dry. While she was working, I was thinking "Mmm...ok, this will crease in an hour". I was wrong! It didn't crease and looked great 3 hours later. You don't understand how much of a feat this is for me - EVERYTHING creases on me. It was just a fact of life I had to live with, but not anymore. While this product doesn't promise not to crease, its staying power is beyond anything I've tried before. Previous reviews are correct in stating that this dries darker than when first applied. Its the most I've ever paid for a concealer, but when it works, its worth it.

So glad I decided to buy this even though its rather pricey (SGD$50 at Sephora). It covers my acne scars, redness, eyebags and all. It's easy to blend and looks very natural.
This is by far the best concealer I have ever come across! Before this, my favorite was L'Oreal Photogenic but then it got discontinued and a consultant from Sephora recommended this product to me and ever since then I've been in love with it ! It is perfect, gives me the right amount of coverage without caking up, not oily, and covers wonderfully. The only problem with it is I'd say is it could be quite heavy at time but other than that it works very well! Definitely recommended!

It is of course not factually inaccurate, the tax rate is low,
Low headline rates and better enforcement can easily mean higher effective rates. The US has one of the highest headline rates of corporate taxation - and it's been decades since Uncle Sam saw a single red cent from most of the big transnats.
did start the trend to lower corporate tax rates in europe
Assuming that you don't count the UK as being part of Europe, because they have a two decade head start on Ireland in that game. And the Dutch didn't cut corporate taxes so much as never have much of them in the first place.
You are critiquing a neoliberal caricature of Ireland, invented to suit their propaganda needs.
Being at tax haven isn't a sustainable growth path either.
Where, precisely, did I contend that?
And as Bofinger pointed out, the tax level of ireland is below the european average.
Headline or effective? (Gross or net, for that matter?)

Lunch Time is a new feature here at Iateapie.net, where I'll share how I incorporate some of the products I review into a fulfilling lunch without too many calories.
This week's lunch time eats - Turkey & Cheese Sandwich + Red Rings Salad.
The turkey is Boar's Head brand, from the deli, along with the cheese which is regular American - my husband picked this up and he is not one for "fancy" cheeses. I added lettuce and cucumbers as my veggies of choice, and for the condiment - boring ketchup, but that's how I roll.
The "Red Rings Salad" has leafy green lettuce, rings of a red bell pepper, cucumber slices, dried cranberries, almonds sliced (bought in bulk) and a generous dash of McCormick Salad Toppins. The salad dressing I used is Wish-Bone Italian Dressing.

Deutsche Skatbank, a division of VR-Bank Altenburger Land, which was founded in 1859, is not the biggest bank in Germany, but it's the first bank to confirm what German savers have been dreading for a while: the wrath of Draghi.
Retail and business customers with over €500,000 on deposit as of November 1 will earn a "negative interest rate" of 0.25%. In less euphemistic terms, they have to pay 0.25% per annum to the bank for the privilege of handing the bank their hard-earned money or their business cash.
Inflation has had a similar effect in the zero-interest-rate environment that the ECB and other central banks have inflicted on savers, but this time it's official, it's open, it can't be hidden. Instead of lending your moolah to the bank so that the bank can lend it out to businesses and retail customers for all sorts of economically beneficial purposes, you're financially better off hiding it in the basement.
The question is, how was it that the foreign policy project of a "bipartisan" organization—founded by two relatively liberal former Democratic Majority Leaders and two relatively moderate former Republican Majority Leaders—was effectively captured and held captive for no less than seven years by hard-core neoconservatives determined to sabotage a top foreign-policy priority of a sitting Democratic president?
Former Democratic Sens. George Mitchell and Tom Daschle co-founded the Bipartisan Policy Center(BPC), along with their former Republican colleagues and fellow former majority leaders, Sens. Howard Baker and Bob Dole back in 2007. The Center, which describes itself as a "non-profit organization that drives principled solutions through rigorous analysis, reasoned negotiations and respectful dialogue," has generally promoted mainstream, centrist positions on a range of issues over the years, including economic and energy policy, governance, health, and homeland security.
The European Arrest Warrant simply a gateway to "the creation of a Pan-European criminal justice system, its own criminal prosecution service, its own police force and its own court."

Thousands of people have taken to the streets in the Portuguese capital city of Lisbon to protest against continuation of the government's austerity measures.
In a few days the Swiss people will go to the polls to decide whether the Swiss central bank is to be required to hold 20% of its reserves in the form of gold. Polls show that the gold requirement is favored by the less well off and opposed by wealthy Swiss invested in stocks.
First Germany, then the Netherlands, perhaps Switzerland this weekend, and now the French right-wing Front National, which shockingly came first in May's European parliament elections, and whose leader Marine Le Pen is currently polling in first place in a hypothetical presidential election (in both a first and run off round), ahead of president Hollande, has sent a letter to the governor of the French Central Bank, the Banque de France, demanding that France join the list of nations which have repatriated, or at least tried to, their gold.
See America's Book of Secrets: The Gold Conspiracy
"... the idea of gold purchases has merit because of the possible sellers. Much gold is held in private households, especially in countries like Germany. In some cases these are unwanted remnants of crisis-driven investments five years ago. A program that targeted these holdings would liberate dormant liquidity, some of which might even flow into consumption."
Official Washington's "group think" on Syria and Ukraine is so delusional that it is putting the whole world in danger, but – as with the Iraq War – the mainstream U.S. news media is part of the problem, not part of any solution.
Neocon ideology appears to have seized near total control over the editorial pages of America's premier news organizations, including the New York Times and the Washington Post, contributing to an information crisis inside "the world's superpower," a development that should unnerve both Americans and the world community.
The Jewish State in the Levant is a burden we shouldn't have to bear.
For decades the Israelis have lived off our largesse without having to offer anything of value in return – unless Israeli interference in American politics is considered of value. We've handed them over $3 billion a year in tribute, stood by while they subjected their Palestinian helots to conditions not seen since South Africa's apartheid, and smiled tolerantly, as one would at an obstreperous child, while they noisily spat in our faces at every opportunity.
And what have we gotten in return? Insults, interference, and outright threats – not to mention one of the most effective (and obnoxious) spying operations conducted on our soil by a foreign power.
The Russian government has done all it can to encourage Europe to maintain profitable and peaceful relations with Russia. However, it seems that Europeans are too firmly under Washington's control to act in their own interest. Europe's vassalage is permitting a scenario to unfold that could lead to World War III.
According to news reports, Washington has decided to arm Ukraine for renewed military assault on Russian ethnics in Donetsk and Luhansk.
Russia this week condemned the dangerous escalation of US military involvement in Ukraine. Moscow's foreign ministry spokesman Alexander Lukashevich said the arms announcement «broke all agreements» and that it would further destabilize the country and make a political resolution of the conflict less likely.
The next US planes to follow Biden's will be loaded with weapons and other non-lethal munitions, as earlier this week Washington announced for the first time that it is to start supplying the Kiev regime with military hardware. Those weapons are to include anti-tank and air defence systems, sniper rifles and machine-guns.
The foreign ministers of the European Union discussed the situation in Ukraine and their turbulent relations with Moscow agreeing that there is no point to enhance sanctions against Russia.

Iran appears ready to sign an agreement tightly constraining its nuclear program in exchange for some sanctions relief, but neocons and other U.S. hardliners appear determined to wreck the deal, which could make Mideast tensions even worse, writes ex-CIA analyst Paul R. Pillar
As of this writing the greatest chance of wrecking it appears to involve not what is going on at the negotiating tables in Europe but instead what the U.S. Congress may do back in Washington to sabotage the work of the diplomats. The energy for the Congressional wrecking ball comes, as it always has, from three sources.
A spokesperson for the US State Department said that Washington and its allies remain in contact on further restrictive measures they want to impose on Russia.
It's long overdue but better late than never that Europe might just be back-pedalling on America's aggressive agenda towards Russia. The business-like visit to Moscow this week by Germany's Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier suggests that Europe can come to its senses to seek a diplomatic resolution of the escalating tensions over the Ukraine crisis – tensions that could spark a wider continental war, or worse.
On Wednesday, the Dutch government invoked the state secrets privilege to stonewall queries by leading Dutch news magazine Elsevier on a secret pact controlling the investigation into the July 17 shooting down of Malaysian Airlines flight MH17 over war-torn east Ukraine.
RT talks to U.S. foreign policy analyst Soraya Ulrich
Soraya Ulrich is not optimistic that a deal would be reached before the deadline. She raises the point that this is not just about Iran, this is a fight about upholding international laws and international treaties, which are being violated by the United States. She notes that Iran has never violated the NPT (Non-Proliferation Treaty), yet it is being accused of doing so. If we succumb to the violation by one party i.e United States and its allies in this case, then international laws and international treaties will loose all meaning and other countries will fall prey to such lawlessness.
Top US and Iranian diplomats have decided to stay in Vienna to continue tense negotiations on the nuclear issue until a consensus suitable to both states is reached.
World powers are trying to agree on limits for Iran's uranium enrichment, and the sanctions imposed on the country.
President Obama cannot mollify those critics inside as well as outside his administration who want unconditional surrender from the IRI (Islamic Republic of Iran)and still expect to get an agreement. Humiliation is a dangerous and delicate business. Especially so when the party whom you intend to humiliate is a proud people and its leaders willful.
A recommendation: Sign the nuclear accord with the Islamic Republic of Iran. Announce it with great fanfare. Declare that this opens a new era in relations between the two countries and holds out the prospect for achieving peace and stability across the region. By acting in this way, the United States would redraw the diplomatic map of the Middle East in ways that open opportunities for resolution of its internecine conflicts and for the establishment of a measure of stability.
Is Poroshenko's forthcoming blitz against the people of southeast Ukraine designed to provoke a Russian response – to the humanitarian crisis? Will Russia confront the NATO-directed Kiev offensive and risk a total break with the West?
There are clear signs that a major war is about to break out in Ukraine: A war actively promoted by the NATO regimes and supported by their allies and clients in Asia (Japan) and the Middle East (Saudi Arabia).
Catalonia's embattled president has criticized the state prosecutor-general's lodging of a criminal complaint against him over alleged offenses including abuse of power for holding a symbolic vote on independence in the Spanish region.
During a debate on reforms to the highly unpopular water charges, Fine Gael TD for Tipperary North, Noel Coonan, made the fantastical claim that the Irish State was facing "what is potentially an Isis situation" if protests against the water charge were not "nipped in the bud".
The UN consciously or unconsciously plays into the hands of the pro-Israeli pressure groups in Canada and only puts on an ugly show of duplicity in imposing a ruling against the Islamic Republic.
The farce becomes more markedly absurd when you consider the plethora of human rights abuses going unpunished in the world with the UN laying a lid of ignorance on these blatant violations.
Iran has strongly lambasted the UN resolution, saying that "the UN's legal mechanisms have turned into a tool in the hands of the West."
The irony of the resolution is that the measure was initially drafted by Canada which has itself a disgracing history of human rights abuse against the aborigines in the country. Further to that, Ottawa has constantly and vehemently thrown its full-throated support behind Tel Aviv in its inconceivably ruthless crimes against the people of Palestine.
Today King World News was stunned to learn that the Swiss politician who launched the Swiss Gold Initiative was actually banned from participating in the televised debate. Luzi Stamm, who was one of the primary architects of the Swiss Gold Initiative, spoke with KWN about why he was banned from the televised debate and why "It is not possible (to continue) what's (currently) going on in the Western world." Below is his remarkable interview.
Serbia is not planning to impose sanctions on Russia, said its President Tomislav Nikolic after meeting EU Commissioner Johannes Hahn. The latter said the EU expects Serbia to bring its policy in line with the European one if it seeks to enter the union.
The EU's biggest foreign crisis mission, expected to tackle corruption in troubled Kosovo, has itself become a target of bribe-taking allegations. Maria Bamieh, the prosecutor who shed light on the crimes within the EULEX program, is on SophieCo today, to talk about who's to blame and why the EU still hasn't properly investigated her revelations.
One hopes that Europe is beginning to part ways with the US direction on Russia – a direction that is leading to an abyss.
It's long overdue but better late than never that Europe might just be back-pedaling on America's aggressive agenda towards Russia. The business-like visit to Moscow this week by Germany's Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier suggests that Europe can come to its senses to seek a diplomatic resolution of the escalating tensions over the Ukraine crisis – tensions that could spark a wider continental war, or worse.
Steinmeier met with his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov in which the pair stressed the need to find a political end to the violence in Ukraine.
The EU's attempts to coerce Serbia into joining anti-Russian sanctions are nothing but blackmail, says the head of the State Duma Foreign Affairs Committee.
It appears John Kerry is at it again. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov says the US Secretary of State called on him to "pay no mind" to a statement by President Obama, in which Russia was included to a list of top global threats. Seeking Russia's cooperation in Iran and on the Korean Peninsula, Kerry told Lavrov to "forget about" what Obama said. As US foreign policy credibility dissolves, we leave it to Lavrov to conclude, "it is flippant," he jabs, "it's not appropriate for a powerful country to have such a consumer attitude to its partners - where you're needed, help us; where you're not, obey us."
That is the result of a lack of a coherent foreign policy. The White House is purely reactive at this point, driven by events and lured on by goals which are often contradictory to each other. There is no real leadership in DC. It's just a town of opportunists carving out the largest slice possible for themselves and their backers.
Israel says a vote by the Spanish parliament on Tuesday calling on Madrid to recognize a Palestinian state is counterproductive because it will encourage Palestinians to take on more extreme positions in negotiations.
The truth is Washington and its European allies have no real alternative to resurrect their economies or that of the world. Their neoliberal capitalist dead-end policies of enriching a financial oligarchy while clobbering the mass of citizens with relentless austerity is a major reason why the world economy is irreversibly in demise.
The European Union has set itself on a collision course with Israel after drawing up a list of sanctions to be imposed if the country takes steps that would make the establishment of a Palestinian state impossible.
It is quite clear that the United States is responsible for destabilizing Ukraine. Its CIA funds have been invested into many unsavoury projects, perhaps most disturbing is its paying support to a collection of neo-Nazi groups ranging from extremist parties to violent militia forces, some of the very groups who have committed atrocities such as murdering many hundreds of civilians.
Israel has censured the Spanish parliament over a symbolic vote, which calls on the Madrid government to recognize Palestine as a sovereign state.
"The declaration of the Spanish parliament only distances the chance of reaching an agreement between Israel and the Palestinians, because it encourages the Palestinians to become more extreme in their positions," Israeli Foreign Ministry said in a statement on Wednesday.
Extreme. You know, like thinking they have a right to their own country?
A slow-moving storm will bring the first accumulating snowfall to areas from eastern Poland and western Ukraine into Belarus and the Baltic states this week.
So what did in fact happen at the G20 summit?
The short answer is that it was a shriller rerun of the ASEM summit in Milan.
The same line up of European leaders joined this time by the Australians and the Canadians (Obama and Putin barely met) tried once again to bully Putin into doing what they wanted in the Ukraine, believing on this occasion that the fall in oil prices and in the rouble would make him more amenable.
In order to drive the point home a media blitz of quite extraordinary intensity was also orchestrated.
To their collective bafflement and anger, Putin refused to move an inch.
A protest movement in Hungary over corruption and an increasingly pro-Russian leadership broke out this week, raising questions about whether the former communist nation is on the verge of becoming the next Ukraine. Hungary is more stable than Ukraine, which has been besieged by sectarian conflict for months, and seems less likely to fall into violent conflict, but growing anti-government demonstrations could become another battleground between Europe and Russia.
When President John F. Kennedy told the world on June 26, 1963. "Ich bin ein Berliner", he was asserting his solidarity with Berliners separated by a wall.
Barack Obama has two more years in which to find his "pairing of the man and the moment". His presidency has been badly marred by his unwillingness to denounce the Israeli occupation of Palestinian land and people.
The inhumane blot of the occupation cries out for Obama action.
The real threat to the world is economic collapse and poverty.
Without any solutions and in fact only exacerbating these problems, the US and European leaders are hiding behind a false agenda of non-issues, such as security, and in particular alleged «Russian aggression».
US President Obama was joined by European leaders last weekend in trying to turn the G20 summit in Australia into a forum for baiting Russia, rather than dealing with the more onerous problem of a failing world economy
When governments cut their deficits when the private sector is still shell-shocked by slump, the situation only gets worse
Cameron is right to warn that the world is on the brink of a third recession. But he is wrong to say that this makes it even more necessary for Britain to stick to its "long-term economic plan" of deficit and debt reduction. Because it is these deficit and debt-reduction policies, implemented throughout the European Union, that have been causing the "red lights" of recession to start flashing.
Cameron and George Osborne cannot get it into their heads that if governments start cutting their deficits when the private sector is still shell-shocked by the slump, the policy will not produce growth but deepen the slump and slow down the "natural" forces of recovery. But this is exactly what the coalition government has been doing since it took office in 2010, and what Angela Merkel has forced on members of the eurozone.

On the day that Adolph Hitler took his own life in a Berlin bunker, Binyamin Netanyahu had yet to be born. He only arrived in a Tel Aviv maternity unit five years after the end of WW2 and the Holocaust. When, after completing his education in America, he returned to be an officer in the Israeli army, he was to become a better soldier than he was ever to be as a peace-maker – a good soldier being one who endeavours to destroy his enemy in order to expand and consolidate territorial gains.
The moves reflect mounting frustration in the European Union at Israel's expanding settlement programme on land the Palestinians want for a state following the collapse of U.S.-sponsored peace talks.
About 40,000 students, workers and pensioners waving red flags and chanting "EU, IMF out!" marched near parliament to the embassy of the United States
The Greeks know who the real source of their problems is!
EU foreign ministers are considering rolling out a fresh package of sanctions against Russia over the crisis in Ukraine, but they're not united on the issue. On the eve of the meeting, the German economy minister warned that new economic restrictions against Moscow would only inflame an already delicate situation.
President Barack Obama was equally effusive, saying the gathering was not a "chinwag," an Australian word for meaningless talk. Rather, he said, "it has been a good week for American leadership." At a press conference, Obama listed expanding trade, a visa accord with China, and "a big advance on climate change" as tangible achievements.
So the headline accomplishment is a deal to take seriously a problem that was made up in the first place. Left unsaid in this article is the agreement by the G20 to consider bank savings accounts as investments in the bank, subject to loss if the bank gets into trouble.
We don't see those so much here in Belgium. I think we are also gearing up regarding the escalation in Ukraine. (We are a NATO Member) For me it was in fact the first time that I saw this in my country.
The Swedish Armed Forces denied Monday reports that a Russian aircraft allegedly violated its national airspace on Saturday.
"[The JAS fighter aircraft] were launched because of a French plane. We do not provide any further details as the incident is now being studied," the Head of Press at the Swedish Armed Forces, Philip Simon said on-air at Radio Sweden.
The United States is a gung-ho supporter of a genocide that it created. (Click on those links, for the verification of these shocking facts — shocking only because they're covered up by our 'press.') Why does Europe tolerate this, and even participate in it? But, they do.
On November 14th, France missed the second deadline for them to supply to Russia the Mistral helicopter-carrier ship that Russia had already paid for in full, and which had been built to Russian specifications, not suitable for use by NATO.
Hilary Mantel has claimed that the Coalition's policies towards the poor and immigrants are more brutal than the measures introduced by Thomas Cromwell, during an interview in which she attacked a "mood of harshness" which has taken hold in Britain.
Cromwell To Ebenezer Pratt of the Mulheim Synagogue in Amsterdam, 16th June 1647:
— "In return for financial support will advocate admission of Jews to England: This however impossible while Charles living. Charles cannot be executed without trial, adequate grounds for which do not at present exist. Therefore advise that Charles be assassinated, but will have nothing to do with arrangements for procuring an assassin, though willing to help in his escape." —
To Oliver Cromwell From Ebenezer Pratt, 12th July 1647:
Israel could soon find itself in trouble and face the wrath of Brussels: any further attempts to pose obstacles to a two-state solution with occupied Palestine could result in sanctions, Haaretz revealed, citing a 'confidential' EU document.
The classified paper was originally intended for internal circulation among the 28 member states, but word of its existence reached Israel after some of its diplomats in the EU leaked the fact to the Foreign Ministry back home.
Although the Israelis could not secure the full text of the document, some important details have come out, thanks to three EU diplomats and two senior Israeli officials.
While the Australian government was pampering and welcoming global leaders – the homeless were NOT welcome. Scoot. Away with you beggars and bludgers.

Germany's Farm Minister Christian Schmidt and Bulgaria's Foreign Minister Daniel Mitov both confirmed their countries' strong opposition to GM crops on Friday.
"Bulgaria's position on that matter remains unchanged – Bulgaria does not support allowing GM crops to be sold on the market and produced on the territory of the EU," said new Foreign Minister Daniel Mitov, speaking at Friday's parliamentary control session when asked to comment on Bulgaria's stance on the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership between the EU and the USA, FOCUS News Agency reported...
Bob Carr is a former NSW premier and foreign minister. This is part of an address he gave to the Australian Friends of Palestine Association in Adelaide last night.
Israel has gone from secular to religious. The ultra-Orthodox and religious Zionists hold 30 of the 120 seats in the Knesset. It has gone from cosmopolitan to chauvinist, with some ministers -espousing a brand of radical -nationalism like that of France's Le Pen or Austria's Jorg Haider.

To keep pandering with futile diplomacy and to not reciprocate the show of force with Washington and its minions would be the really reckless option. You don't encourage a bully. Instead, you have to square up and push back.
Has Russia reached the limit of its diplomatic tolerance of the US and its NATO allies? The announcement this week that Moscow is to begin deploying long-range bombers in the Gulf of Mexico – America's own backyard – suggests so.
Having whipped up a political storm on EU finances to forestall UKIP, Cameron is set to reap a whirlwind of his own making.
November, the month associated with Halloween and spooky forces, appears to be presenting British Prime Minister David Cameron with a nightmare that could end up resulting in his head rolling as leader of the Conservative Party.

The notion that Germany was 'unified' democratically is of dubious historical accuracy. The consequences of a powerful unified Germany have not led to a peaceful prosperous Europe and Germany's current role in world politics, particularly its policies toward the Middle East, North Africa and the Ukraine, has been anything but peaceful.
The move may seem like a reckless ratcheting up of tensions between the old Cold War rivals. The Tupolev Russian strategic bombers in question are nuclear-capable, and as expected the decision to patrol the Caribbean seas sparked a stern response from Washington, warning Moscow of risks.

The real reason for the ceremonies and parades and speeches is to keep young men keen to go and kill and die, there being no group of humans more subject to cheap emotional appeals about glory and heroism than young men, as we see, ad nauseam, generation after generation.
As I've written before, humans are little more than chimpanzees with larger brains, those larger brains enabling us to magnify immensely the power of our murderous instincts, a fact we seem determined proudly to display every Remembrance Day.
American neocons are furious that President Obama reportedly sent a letter to Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei apparently urging concessions on nuclear talks and referencing joint interests in combating Islamic State radicals, but the letter may reflect smart diplomacy, says ex-CIA analyst Paul R. Pillar.
The bursts of criticism — from those who inveterately oppose any dealing with Iran, and those who inveterately oppose anything Barack Obama is doing, which include some of the same people — of a letter Mr. Obama reportedly sent to the supreme leader of Iran can readily be dismissed for multiple reasons.
The grainy image shows underwater tracks allegedly left by the vessel.
Several sightings of an unidentified object near Stockholm sparked a huge search and Sweden's biggest military operation in years.
Naval vessels and planes searched waters near the capital but were unable to identify any intruding vessel or say which country was responsible.
Suspicion fell on Russia, but its defence ministry denied any of its ships were involved.
"The military can confirm that a small U-boat breached Sweden's territorial waters," the head of Sweden's armed forces, Gen Sverker Goransson, told a news conference.
Submarines generally avoid hitting the bottom let alone dragging along it. In Dr. John Craven's book "The Silent War" he relates a story of a US submarine, specially equipped for espionage work, getting literally stuck in the mud at one point on a mission, then uncontrollably bobbing to the surface when it finally freed itself, leading to a serious chase by anti-submarine forces from the nation being spied on.
In this case, looking at the image, I wonder if the US was running a test of the new underwater drones they are developing and somehow the depth system was off the mark, leading the drone to try to sail through the mud rather than the water.

Italy hit by strikes and violent demonstrations as anger towards soaring unemployment and economic crisis boils over onto the streets.
Greece - it would appear by this morning's GDP print - is now the engine of growth for Europe. Despite near-record unemployment, record suicides and poverty, and an increasing number of Greeks doing unpaid work (or in slavery), GDP rose at the fastest rate across the EU... However, it appears, judging by the protests across Athens today, the people did not get the message that the crisis is over... as police resort to tear gas and stun guns.
"NATO has recorded over 100 intercepts so far this year, three times as many as in 2013 and the year is not yet finished," British Defence Secretary Michael Fallon said during a news conference. "We will not allow Russia to continue to invade our airspace."
He accused Russia of "regularly flouting the rules of international aviation" and intimidating nations as far as Ireland and Portugal.
Ed Note: It is not for an official of a NATO member country to be speaking on behalf of a neutral country, Ireland. If Russia has "intimidated" Ireland, it certainly managed to escape the attention of the Russophobic presstitutes here. This is prime-grade bull droppings, as is everything that comes out of the mouths of these charlatans.
US President Obama's most senior economic official during the global financial crisis has claimed Ireland was "stupid" to guarantee the banks.
The lower house of Ireland's parliament (The Dáil) has been adjourned until next Tuesday after T.D. Mary Lou McDonald staged a sit-in lasting almost four hours.
The North Atlantic Treaty Organization, NATO, was launched sixty five years ago following the signature of the Atlantic Pact in 1949. The original member states that came together under US tutelage claimed that their alliance was dedicated to the preservation of peace and to the defence of Western Europe against the supposed threat of military aggression. It is noteworthy that the launch of NATO coincided with the intensification of the Cold War, the political division of Germany and the first tentative steps by the US and Britain to rearm the new West German state.

What do you get when you put two of the largest pro-Israel donors — Sheldon Adelson and Haim Saban — on one stage?
(These are desperate and dangerous men. A threat to world peace.)
For participants at the Israeli American Council's inaugural conference, this meeting of Jewish finance titans produced several historical insights about the roots of the Palestinian people (Adelson: they have none); a bit of advice on how to deal with Iran (Saban: "bomb the sons of bitches"); and some media criticism (Adelson: "I don't like journalism" — especially not the Forward.)
The first French Mistral warship is supposed to be handed over to Russia on Friday, but there won't be a delegation from Moscow at tomorrow's planned handover ceremony in Paris. That's amid new uncertainty as to whether it'll actually happen.
More than 300 political parties, trade unions and campaign groups have called for the suspension of a key agreement between Israel and the European Union.
The appeal urges the EU to freeze the "association agreement" with Israel. That deal, which entered into force in 2000, facilitates largely unrestricted trade between the EU and Israel and allows Israel to participate in a wide range of the Union's programs.
So the EU is as much a sell-out to Israel as the US is. Imagine my shock.
Britain, the U.S. and Swiss regulators Wednesday fined five banks 3.4 billion U.S. dollars as traders' attempted manipulation of foreign exchange rates.
Let's not just bring down all the walls; let's bring down the system behind them. For, as the Pink Floyd song goes, the Berlin Wall is just another brick in the wall – the much bigger ideological wall is Western capitalism.
The 25th anniversary marking the fall of the Berlin Wall was an occasion to propagandise the past simultaneously with the present.
This idea did not start on Capitol Hill. It began as a local innovation at a few farmers' markets. But it proved remarkably popular and spread across the country.
At least 215 people were arrested after clashes broke out in Warsaw. Some Polish nationalists, who took to the streets to mark the country's National Independence Day, threw flares and stones at police. Law enforcers responded with water cannon.

The smiles did not extend to Madrid, where until the very moment the ballots opened there were still thinking the Catalans would not have the collons to defy god, king and country. In fact, on Sunday morning at 9AM the crypto fascist party UPyD requested the Barcelona weekend judge to stop the vote, confiscate the ballots and arrest the table officers and political instigators using force if necessary. The judge delicately told them to shove off, saying that the proposed measures were disproportionate to the situation. And so the vote was held in peace, with the only exception of Girona, where a group of skinheads bumrushed a voting point, kicked the ballot box to the ground and, in a textbook case of instant karma, were smote by the violent gentlemen of a local rugby team which just happened to be there voting. Never had a gaggle of skinheads been happier to see the police arrive to arrest them.
Adelson and Saban, one a mega donor to the Republican Party, the other a top backer of the Clintons, may have their differences when it comes to U.S. politics. But on Israel, both engaged in one-upmanship, trying to outdo each other's hawkishness.
Any SEAL who was so totally stupid as to kill the unarmed "Terror Mastermind" would probably have been courtmartialed for incompetency. Look at the smiling face of the man Who Killed Bin Laden.

What unbelievable nonsense.
President Putin has the backing of the vast majority of Russian people; he has the scientific and professional cadre; he has allies in China and among the BRICS; and he has the will and the power to "do the right thing". The question remains whether Putin will succeed in this historical mission or whether, out of fear and indecision, he will capitulate before the threats of a dangerous and decaying West.
The US-EU sponsored coup in the Ukraine and its conversion from a stable Russian trading partner, to a devastated EU economic client and NATO launch pad, as well as the subsequent economic sanctions against Russia for supporting the Russian ethnic majority in the Donbas region and Crimea, illustrate the dangerous vulnerability of the Russian economy and state. The current effort to increase Russia's national security and economic viability in the face of these challenges requires a critical analysis of the policies and structures emerging in the post-Soviet era.
The story in The Independent On Sunday was not quite as explicit as its headline. Its message was not that very many Jewish funders had already pulled the plug on funding for the Labour Party but that they were intending to do so.

He condemned Israel's last war on the Gaza Strip which he described as "wrong and unjustifiable."

Marcel Proust said: "The voyage of discovery is not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes." During the past two decades, I visited Iran on numerous occasions staying 10-14 days at a time. This time around, I stayed for 2 months and heeding Proust, I carried with me a fresh pair of eyes. I discarded both my Western lenses as well as my Iranian lenses and observed with objective eyes. It was a formidable journey that left me breathless.
It is hard to know where to start a travel log and how to describe a newfound world in a few pages. However, given the obsession with the status of women, it is perhaps appropriate to start with the women in Iran as I perceived them.
Russia Today has been threatened with statutory sanctions by media regulator Ofcom after the Kremlin-backed news channel breached broadcasting regulations on impartiality with its coverage of the Ukraine crisis.
With well over 1 million Catalonians already voted by the middle of the day, Catalonia's 'illegal-in-the-eyes-of-the-Spanish-government' vote for secession appears to have garnered more relative public support than Americans who voted for real this week. As threats from Rajoy and the Spanish government grow louder, the Catalan president Artur Mas rather sarcastically noted "we're running a high-quality democracy here," adding that "it has been difficult to get to this point... which is incredible in a democracy."
An overwhelming majority of Catalans have said "yes" to independence and secession from the central Spanish government in Madrid in a highly-anticipated but symbolic referendum poll on Sunday.
With Canada's annual "Remembrance Day" just around the corner, it would be wise to broach the issue of "remembering" those Canadians who fought and died in the two bloodiest conflicts in world history with some humility and skepticism.
With all things considered, "Remembrance Day" amounts to little more than a glorification of war and an exercise in jingoism and self-aggrandizement. It re-enforces the insulting myth of the "good" and "necessary" wars. It encourages the refusal to recognize the wrongs committed by "our side" in those bloody conflicts. This'day of reverence' for our soldiers acts as a mind control mechanism to deceive the public into believing that our government has always acted benevolently and in the interests of the people, when in fact the opposite is true.
Kiev's incorrigible lying always leads eventually to the truth.
Kiev's President Petro Poroshenko this week called on his fawning Uncle Sam to resuscitate the Geneva format of peace talks. This forum was first convoked back in April between the US, European Union, Russia and the Kiev regime, with the latter arrogating the title of «Ukraine».
Then only two days after this sudden nostalgia for Geneva, the Kiev regime was accusing Russia of a major cross-border military invasion into eastern Ukraine.
Responsible leaders prioritize efforts more than ever for world peace. Anathema to Washington. Permanent war is official U.S. policy. One nation after another is targeted, ravaged and destroyed. Wealth, power and unchallengeable dominance alone matter. World peace hangs by a thread.
Obama represents the worst of US rogue leadership. Threatening world peace.
Turning truth on its head saying "…Russia's actions against Ukraine remind us we have more work to do to fully realize our shared vision of a Europe that is whole, free and at peace." Washington bears full responsibility for Ukrainian crisis conditions. Rogue EU partners share it.Establishing fascist governance in Europe's heartland. For the first time since Nazi Germany's WW II defeat.

Mission to combat organised crime dropped investigations of cases implicating senior Kosovan politicians, says study
When the EU appointed Maria Bamieh to investigate serious crime in Kosovo as part of its mission to uphold the rule of law in the troubled state, they did not expect it would lead to an allegation that she had uncovered serious wrongdoing on her own side.
The fatal flaw in the eurozone model is that there's no way, no escape clause, to rectify the inherited differences between north and south. Moreover, because there isn't, the differences must and will get bigger. There's nothing any kind of stimulus by the ECB or EU can do about that. The EU was founded on ideals of peace. But unless someone does something, fast, it will be the source of bitter and bloody fighting. Better wisen up now, guys (and I don't mean the leadership, they'll go on till the end). In math, there are things that just don't add up. This is one of them.
I stumbled upon these few words in an Ambrose Evans Pritchard article the other day, and they hit me almost like some sort of epiphany, which in turn made me feel a little stupid, because it's all so obvious. What Ambrose wrote (and this time I'm not making fun of him), was about the eurozone (EMU), of which he said:
The North is competitive. The South is 20% overvalued.
And I realized that's all you need to know about the eurozone, and about why it will fail. Or has already failed, to put it more accurately. There's no other information required. Other than a bit of context perhaps to clarify.

According to the prevailing wisdom in the West, the Ukraine crisis can be blamed almost entirely on Russian aggression. Russian President Vladimir Putin, the argument goes, annexed Crimea out of a long-standing desire to resuscitate the Soviet empire, and he may eventually go after the rest of Ukraine, as well as other countries in eastern Europe. In this view, the ouster of Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych in February 2014 merely provided a pretext for Putin's decision to order Russian forces to seize part of Ukraine.
25 years ago, Hungary was being toasted in the West for opening its border with Austria to East Germans, in a move which led to the fall of the Berlin Wall. Now the Western elites are not happy with Budapest which they consider far too independent.
Western policies toward Russia championed by Washington have led to the current crisis, and if the confrontation continues,

Known as the "Thud", Republic's F-105 Thunderchief entered service in 1958, and flew in a variety of roles through 1984. The largest single-engine fighter in the U.S.A.F.... More > inventory,the F-105 could exceed Mach 1.0 at sea level, and achieve Mach 2.0 at high altitude. It could carry up to 14,000 pounds of ordnance, or about as much as most WWII heavy bombers. The F-105 served as the primary strike aircraft in the early years of the Vietnam conflict, and its pilots flew over 20,000 missions. These included "wild weasel" flights intended to suppress North Vietnamese air defenses. The dangerous aspects of these missions help account for the aircraft's high loss rate — out of 833 F-105s produced, 320 were lost in combat in S.E. Asia. Originally printed by the U.S. Air Force, this handbook provides a fascinating glimpse inside the cockpit of one of history's great planes.

(Book Jacket Status: Jacketed)Three classic crime novels by a master of the macabre appear here together in hardcover for the first time.Suave, agreeable, and completely amoral, Patricia Highsmith's hero, the inimitable Tom Ripley, stops at nothing--not even murder-- to accomplish his goals. In achieving for himself the opulent life that he was denied as a child, Ripley shows himself to be a master of illusion and manipulation and a disturbingly sympathetic combination of genius and psychopath. As Highsmith navigates the mesmerizing tangle of Ripley's deadly and sinister games, she turns the mystery genre inside out and takes us into the mind of a man utterly indifferent to evil.The Talented Mr. RipleyIn a chilling literary hall of mirrors, Patricia Highsmith introduces Tom Ripley. Like a hero in a latter-day Henry James novel, is sent to Italy with a commission to coax a prodigal young American back to his wealthy father. But Ripley finds himself very fond of Dickie Greenleaf. He wants to be like him--exactly like him. Suave, agreeable, and utterly amoral, Ripley stops at nothing--certainly not only one murder--to accomplish his goal. Turning the mystery form inside out, Highsmith shows the terrifying abilities afforded to a man unhindered by the concept of evil.Ripley Under GroundIn this harrowing illumination of the psychotic mind, the enviable Tom Ripley has a lovely house in the French countryside, a beautiful and very rich wife, and an art collection worthy of a connoisseur. But such a gracious life has not come easily. One inopportune inquiry, one inconvenient friend, and Ripley's world will come tumbling down--unless he takes decisive steps. In a mesmerizing novel that coolly subverts all traditional notions of literary justice, Ripley enthralls us even as we watch him perform acts of pure and unspeakable evil.Ripley's GameConnoisseur of art, harpsichord aficionado, gardener extraordinaire, and genius of improvisational murder, the inimitable Tom Ripley finds his complacency shaken when he is scorned at a posh gala. While an ordinary psychopath might repay the insult with some mild act of retribution, what Ripley has in mind is far more subtle, and infinitely more sinister. A social slight doesn't warrant murder of course-- just a chain of events that may lead to it.
Patricia Highsmith (1921 – 1995) was born in Fort Worth, Texas, and grew up in New York. She was educated at the Julia Richmond High School in Manhattan and then at Columbia University, where she earned her B.A. in 1942. Her first novel, Strangers on a Train (1950), tells the story of a tennis player and a psychotic who meet on a train and agree to swap murders. The terrifying tale caught the attention of director Alfred Hitchcock, who, with Raymond Chandler, filmed it in 1951. Both the book and the resulting movie are considered to be classics of the crime genre. Highsmith's subsequent novels, particularly five featuring the dashing forger/murderer Tom Ripley, have been vastly popular and critically acclaimed. In 1957 Highsmith won the coveted French Grand Prix de Litterature Policiere and in 1964 was awarded the Silver Dagger by the British Crime Writers Association. A reclusive person, Highsmith spent much of her life alone. She moved permanently to Europe in 1963 and spent her final years in an isolated house near Locarno on the Swiss-Italian border. Upon her death, Highsmith left three million dollars of her estate to Yaddo, the artist community in upstate New York.
"Patricia Highsmith is often called a mystery or crime writer, which is a bit like calling Picasso a draftsman."—CLEVELAND PLAIN DEALER"One of our greatest modernist writers."—Gore Vidal"Highsmith's dark and sometimes savage humor, and the intelligence that informs her precise and hard-edged prose, puts one in mind of Jonathan Swift and Evelyn Waugh."—NEWSDAY"[Highsmith] has created a world of her own-a world claustrophobic and irrational which we enter each time with a sense of personal danger."—Graham Greene"Highsmith's novels are peerlessly disturbing . . . bad dreams that keep us thrashing for the rest of the night."—THE NEW YORKER"For eliciting the menace that lurks in familiar surroundings, there's no one like Patricia Highsmith."—TIME

harmon.ie,® the social software company, today released 2013 predictions for the enterprise social and mobile industry by CEO and co-founder Yaacov Cohen. Cohen sees social and collaborative processes becoming fully integrated into business workers' daily habits, as opposed to being individual silos supported by a separate set of tools. Specifically, the proliferation and adoption of Microsoft's SharePoint and IBM's Connections place these traditional enterprise leaders back in the center of the business with key social collaboration platforms. And RIM's re-entry into the enterprise mobile market with BlackBerry Enterprise Server 10 (BES 10) and BlackBerry 10 devices will signal its renaissance as a secure mobile player in the enterprise.
Here's Cohen's rationale. Do you agree we are "back to the future" and beyond?
Why RIM?
- The desire for secure mobile – The explosion of iPad usage is driving an insatiable desire to use the iPad at work. However, data stored on the iPad is at risk if the device is stolen or lost, and Apple doesn't have a native solution. But there's hope…
- The release of BES 10 - With this release, RIM is going back to its roots as the leading secure mobile enterprise solution. Initially it was through secure proprietary devices; this time it is embracing its rivals by securing all mobile devices: iOS, Android and the new Blackberry 10. The strategy of supporting competing devices will not only grow the iPad market, but it will also be the impetus for RIM's comeback.
Why Microsoft?
- Microsoft's acquisition of Yammer – "Microsoft" and "cool" are two words which normally don't go together. But with Microsoft's acquisition of Yammer, Microsoft is now in the driver's seat to deliver the social experience to the millions of Office users. Yammer, combined with other Office products like SharePoint, will make Office social and for the first time combine business processes with social activities.
- The Microsoft Cloud – Microsoft's entrenchment in the business world will pole vault its new Office cloud to becoming a serious player very quickly. All the advantages of a SaaS offering, attractive pricing and a familiar set of tools will make it hard for competitors to rival Microsoft in the enterprise cloud arena.
Why IBM?
- Social business initiative – IBM continues to make a push and significant investments into helping organizations build a social business.
- Integration with entrenched products – IBM Connections version 4.0 presents an exciting new social and collaboration offering with out-of-the-box integration with Microsoft Outlook. Like RIM, integrating with entrenched competitive products like Microsoft's will pay off.
"Social interactions and collaboration will become an integral part of employees' daily workflow and business processes. Users will not be relegated to an isolated set of productivity tools," said Cohen. "The integration between collaboration/social products and enterprise business software will breathe new life into old behemoths. Most notably, the emergence of meaningful activity streams in enterprise applications will become mainstream."

Docker offers a new, lightweight approach to application portability. Applications are shipped using a common container format and managed with a high-level API. Their processes run within isolated namespaces that abstract the operating environment independently of the distribution, versions, network setup, and other details of this environment. This "containerization" has often been nicknamed "the new virtualization." But containers are more than lightweight virtual machines. Beyond their small...

The move in recent years to cloud computing services and architectures has added significant pace to the application development and deployment environment. When enterprise IT can spin up large computing instances in just minutes, developers can also design and deploy in small time frames that were unimaginable a few years ago. The consequent move toward lean, agile, and fast development leads to the need for the development and operations sides to work very closely together. Thus, DevOps become...
