Grant unto thy Church, we beseech Thee, O merciful God, that She, being gathered together by the Holy Ghost, may be in no wise troubled by attack from her foes. O God, who by sin art offended and by penance pacified, mercifully regard the prayers of Thy people making supplication unto Thee,and turn away the scourges of Thine anger which we deserve for our sins. Almighty and Everlasting God, in whose Hand are the power and the government of every realm: look down upon and help the Christian people that the heathen nations who trust in the fierceness of their own might may be crushed by the power of thine Arm. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. R. Amen.

Food For Thought
"The legalization of the termination of pregnancy is none other than the authorization given to an adult, with the approval of an established law, to take the lives of children yet unborn and thus incapable of defending themselves. It is difficult to imagine a more unjust situation, and it is very difficult to speak of obsession in a matter such as this, where we are dealing with a fundamental imperative of every good conscience — the defense of the right to life of an innocent and defenseless human being."

DETROIT, Dec. 3, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Rock Ventures, the umbrella entity providing operational coordination of Dan Gilbert's portfolio of companies and investments, today announced it has added another 333,000 square feet of class-A downtown Detroit office space to its growing real estate portfolio.
The company completed the purchase of the 26-story One Woodward building, located on the corner of Jefferson and Woodward Avenue. Rock Ventures plans to renovate the building in order to accommodate the growing demand for space in the city's emerging technology district.
Built in 1962, One Woodward was designed by famed architect Minoru Yamasaki, and is considered an early design that ultimately led Yamaski to create the former World Trade Center towers in New York City.
"The One Woodward building is located in the heart of Detroit's technology core, and provides us more space to further accommodate our growing family of companies and the increasing number of businesses that want to leverage the opportunities made in Detroit," said Dan Gilbert, Founder and Chairman of Rock Ventures and Quicken Loans.
"We continue to bet big on Detroit, and this purchase reinforces our commitment to the exciting entrepreneurial action on Woodward Avenue," Gilbert added.
The building is approximately 60 percent occupied, and will exceed 90 percent occupancy next month when Quicken Loans and its affiliates lease a total of eight floors in the building. Some current tenants include the Detroit Regional Chamber and law firms Fraser Trebilcock Davis & Dunlap, and Kitch Drutchas Wagner Valitutti & Sherbrook.
Purchase of the One Woodward building was co-brokered by Friedman Integrated Real Estate Solutions and Bedrock Real Estate Services LLC, Rock Ventures' full-service real estate firm and developer for the project. Bedrock will also be responsible for overseeing the renovations, managing the property and leasing the space.
Since January 2011, Rock Ventures has purchased 10 buildings totaling nearly 2.5 million square feet of office space, in addition to two parking garages with a total of 3,500 parking spaces. Last month, the company broke ground on a 33,000 square-foot specialty retail development with 10-story parking garage in downtown Detroit.

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural styles ...

Connected devices and the Internet of Things are getting significant momentum in 2014. In his session at Internet of @ThingsExpo, Jim Hunter, Chief Scientist & Technology Evangelist at Greenwave Systems, examined three key elements that together will drive mass adoption of the IoT before the end of 2015. The first element is the recent advent of robust open source protocols (like AllJoyn and WebRTC) that facilitate M2M communication. The second is broad availability of flexible, cost-effective storage designed to handle the massive surge in back-end data in a world where timely analytics is e...

Scott Jenson leads a project called The Physical Web within the Chrome team at Google. Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

We are reaching the end of the beginning with WebRTC, and real systems using this technology have begun to appear. One challenge that faces every WebRTC deployment (in some form or another) is identity management. For example, if you have an existing service – possibly built on a variety of different PaaS/SaaS offerings – and you want to add real-time communications you are faced with a challenge relating to user management, authentication, authorization, and validation. Service providers will want to use their existing identities, but these will have credentials already that are (hopefully) i...

The definition of IoT is not new, in fact it's been around for over a decade. What has changed is the public's awareness that the technology we use on a daily basis has caught up on the vision of an always on, always connected world. If you look into the details of what comprises the IoT, you'll see that it includes everything from cloud computing, Big Data analytics, "Things," Web communication, applications, network, storage, etc. It is essentially including everything connected online from hardware to software, or as we like to say, it's an Internet of many different things.

The Age ITPro: Public services need competition, not cuts, NICTA recommends
The nation's peak ICT research body is urging Australian governments to lift their lagging digital services, with a list of recommendations analysts say could have lessened recent public sector job cuts such as those seen at the ABC this week.
In a white paper to be launched on Wednesday by Malcolm Turnbull's parliamentary secretary Paul Fletcher, National ICT Australia (NICTA) says the private sector must be allowed to facilitate people's access to government services online.
The "service broker" model would effectively turn government into a wholesaler of public services, with non-government organisations competing to deliver access to services such as Medicare and Centrelink.
Bill Bradley of Hornsby honoured at 2014 National Disability Awards

Speech to the FutureGov Summit
The impressive roll up at today's FutureGov Summit is powerful evidence of how much energy is going into using information technology to transform government.
It is hugely important – and something the Abbott Government is strongly committed to.
It is my privilege to kick off proceedings by speaking about government online service delivery – and in doing so I would like to start with the question of what citizens expect of government. Next I want to talk about the typical way that governments respond; and thirdly highlight an alternative strategy in which – shockingly – government does not try to do everything itself.
Fletcher Congratulates Barry O'Farrell On A Job Well Done
'I congratulate Barry O'Farrell on a job well done,' said Paul Fletcher Member for Bradfield, responding to Mr O'Farrell's announcement that he will step down as Member for Ku-ring-gai at the next state election.
'Barry O'Farrell served the people of NSW and Ku-ring-gai with distinction in an outstanding political career.
Bradfield boosted through local government grants
Payments to councils in Bradfield are being made under the Australian Government Financial Assistance Grant programme.
Federal Member for Bradfield, Paul Fletcher, said the Australian Government is providing $2.3 billion in quarterly payments to local councils nationwide in 2014-15.

Michael Phelps Tweets Congratulations to Ryan Lochteby Hilton Hater at . Comments
Well, this is no fun.
Billed as the biggest individual rivalry at the 2012 Summer Olympics, Michael Phelps and Ryan Lochte are being all... classy with each other. Don't they know this is a competition?!?
Not long after Lochte won the Gold Medal in the 400 IM today, Phelps - who did not finish in the top three in that event for the first time since 2000 - sent a congratulatory Tweet to his countryman, writing:
Congrats to @ryanlochte ... Way to keep that title in the country where it belongs!!
The winner then replied: Thanks @MichaelPhelps I couldn't do it with out you. #USA
Phelps has six more events in front of him and needs two medals to set the all-time Olympic mark. But this race belonged to his rival.
"This is my year," Lochte said after earning Gold. "I know it and I feel it, because I've put in hard work. I've trained my butt off for four years … and there's no better way to start this Olympics off than getting gold."
Let's try to fire up this feud, shall we? Vote now: Michael Phelps or Ryan Lochte, who would you rather...
They're part of a team even when competing they'll show team spirit. Congrats to them for winning the gold :)
I want to be like Michael Phelps.He starts out slow then he picks up the paste.By the way im a girl.Me and my mom like his answer which Micheal were going to see? I have a question.Im twenty six years old and I have balance problem and I was wondering if swimming help your balance? and how old can you start swimming for the Summer Olympics? because im to old to do women gymnastics.
ryan killed it out there
There was a black american swimmer on the third lap of 4 x 100 freestyle relay. The anchor was Lochte who lost it for the USA. Everyone else pulled their weight. Arrogance got to him.
How cone there r not black swimmers?
Who cares who is President. I am only voting if Clooney is on the ticket with Brad.Yummy

Yeah, the armor was purchased by security guards, bondmen and jewlers. I think more than one went to dope dealers and general gang bangers. Wearing body armor has become a fashion statement.

Of course the Patriots drew the toughest possible matchup in the first round according to my own list. You didn't think I would read anyone else's work did you? On top of that, Wes Welker injures himself (yes you read that right) and possibly takes himself out for not only the playoffs, but the entire 2010 season. Talk about a head start!
With these developments you can imagine the attitude of Boston's finest radio personalities. I heard everything from "the Patriots game against the Ravens doesn't matter because they can't beat the Chargers" to "the Ravens will win because they should have won back in Week 4."
Amidst all this negativity surrounding the Patriots this week, there is still a way to remain optimistic going into Sunday afternoon's match-up and I will tell you how with my five easy steps to enjoying the Patriots vs. Ravens first round playoff game.

Barington Capital Group has lost its taste for the Olive Garden and Red Lobster.
The New York-based hedge fund called on the restaurant chains' parent, Darden Restaurants, to split in two in order to hive off those lower-performing brands from its more high-growth properties, The Wall Street Journal reports.
Barington said it was at the head of a larger investor group that has taken a 2.8% stake in Darden, although it did not disclose its partners in agitating for the split.
In addition to the Olive Garden and Red Lobster, Darden owns six other restaurant chains: Bahama Breeze, Capital Grille, Eddie V's Prime Seafood, LongHorn Steakhouse, Seasons 52 and Yard House.
"We believe that Darden has the potential to deliver significantly higher returns to shareholders," a Barington spokesman told the Journal.
The Barington group is also pushing Darden to cut costs and to extract value from its real-estate holdings; Darden owns the land under more than 1,000 of its more than 2,100 restaurants.

Given that today is a Friday afternoon, today's AH Session in ALXA is really odd. Approximately 100,000 shares traded in ALXA all day today. Now another 50,000 shares in numerous real-time transactions have already traded in the AH Session. I do not see any news whatsoever and all of the shares have traded within a few cents of the close. It seems there have been a number of buyers and one determine seller at 4.50.
If I had to bet unless I find news of some kind, I would assume this is just some odd occurrence with no real meaning, but who knows,? I certainly would not be selling.
Good luck
SEC filing
Yes, now that I see that it makes sense. Still do not know why the buying was met by determined selling, but maybe Monday will be different.
Surely, his sizable purchase is a nice sign.
Good luck
It's because Thomas King just bought 40,000 shares of ALXA in the open market with his own money.

Japanese ship lines continue to post heavy losses, particularly in the once- lucrative North American liner route, and it appears increasingly likely that the Big Six group of Japanese carriers will be reorganized.
Market conditions are severe and the survival game is getting more serious, said Keizo Muranaka, senior managing director of Mitsui O.S.K. Lines.Present rate levels are simply too low for any liner company to make a profit, says Tsunenari Tokugawa, an executive with Nippon Yusen Kaisha (NYK) Line.
None of nation's big six liner operators is making money from shipping operations. Between April and September, the first half of the current business year, NYK was the only shipping company to earn a profit. That profit, 9.2 billion yen, was due to the company's strong non-shipping operations.
The other five companies - Mitsui O.S.K., K Line, Japan Line, Showa Line and Yamashita Shinnahon Steamship Co. - lost a total of 30.4 billion yen between April and September. During the previous 12 months, the five companies lost 61.3 billion yen. NYK, meanwhile, had an operating profit of 14 billion yen - again, because of non-shipping businesses.
The lines' problems include the appreciation of the yen against the
dollar, the shift of manufacturing from Japan to cheaper Far East nations, and strong competition from lines that have developed good intermodal connections in the United States. U.S. carriers have been particularly competitive in establishing intermodal rail trains for trans-Pacific freight.
All of the lines have suffered a sharp fall in revenues - by 26 percent last year and another 28 percent through the first six months of the current business term. Combined revenues of the six lines totaled 1.4 trillion yen in the fiscal year ending last March, down from more than 1.9 trillion yen the year before.
Most see little improvement, for the next few months at least. There is no economic scenario in sight that suggests the performance of this industry will significantly improve, says Thomas Zengage, research director for IBI Inc., a Tokyo-based industrial consulting firm.
The scene is especially bleak in the liner trades - especially the busiest one, to North America. The Transport Ministry reports that the six lines suffered a combined loss of 69.2 billion yen on that route in the last fiscal year, and further losses are forecast this year.
The Transport Ministry and several top lending institutions, including the Japan Development Bank, say there can be no long-term recovery until the six lines agree to restructure and consolidate their existing operations - especially in the North American routes.
The ministry, which 24 years ago led a similar restructuring that created the current six-line format, is being called on again to help form a consensus. It appears to have won the support of the principal lending banks, notably the Japan Development Bank and the Industrial Bank of Japan, both of which have been asked to restructure the long-term debt of the three weaker carriers - Japan Line, Yamashita-Shinnihon and Showa.
They really have two choices - to merge or to diversify, said IBI's Mr. Zengage.
Speculation within the industry is that something will break by the middle of this year. Among the more persistent rumors is that NYK will absorb the liner operations of financially ailing Showa Line. Neither company is commenting.
The industry also is working to find ways to further reduce costs, including manpower cuts and scrapping of older, less efficient vessels. Between October 1985 and October of last year, the nation's top lines cut their payrolls to about 9,700 seamen, or by more than 40 percent. Further reductions are planned.
NYK has disclosed it plans to cut its work force nearly in half by the early 1990s. At the same time, it hopes to raise its nonshipping income to 45 percent by the year 2005. The Japanese lines' problems start with the
weakening of the dollar and the appreciation of the yen. The Japanese currency has risen more than 85 percent against the dollar since September 1985. Most shipping revenues are collected in dollars. So when the dollar revenue is converted to yen, the lines can lose as much as 40 percent of their income.
The effects have been devastating - particularly in the trans-Pacific eastbound trade, which accounts for 10 percent to 12 percent of the lines'
Competition has prevented the Japanese lines from raising freight rates enough to make up for their losses. Rates presently stand at 1986 levels.
The strong yen has hurt the carriers further by encouraging the shift of Japanese manufacturing to lower-cost countries such as Taiwan, South Korea and Hong Kong.
