Still More Obsequious Pandering to Gitmo Terrorists
In any sane country, the irredeemable worst-of-the-worst terrorists getting fat at Club Gitmo would be interrogated aggressively and then lined up in front of a machine gun. In a country run by dhimmi moonbats,
Americans are supposed to have sympathy for the accused terrorist detainees now on hunger strike to protest supposedly cruel conditions at the US military prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
"I don't want these individuals to die," President Obama recently lamented, adding he intends to close Gitmo and transfer the detainees to US prisons.
But just a few years ago, detainees got so plump from overeating hummus and other dishes from the camp's Islamically correct menu that commanders specially ordered treadmills to help them lose weight.
Then they ordered them again – because they weren't made by Muslims.
We non-Muslims are unclean, you see.
"Even the hunger strikers were gaining weight because of all the food, so we go out and buy all this exercise equipment and throw it in the rec yard," a Gitmo official said of a 2007 requisition. "Within the first week, there were guys saying, 'Hey, this stuff is made in the US – made by infidels – and we're not going to use it.'
"So what did we do?" added the official, who requested anonymity. "We took all of that s–t out, gave it to the soldiers to use, and bought them equipment that was made in a Muslim part of the world."
Why not? Infidel taxpayers have plenty of money. Think of it as jizya.
Muslim-made exercise equipment to help hunger strikers burn off extra pounds isn't the only enticement our government offers our enemies as a reward for waging a terror campaign against us:
He said they get as many as four choices of halal meals and have access to a new $750,000 soccer field. Islamic prayer beads and rugs are now "standard issue." They get their choice of more than 10,000 Islamic books and videos stocked by a Muslim librarian, who also records soccer and Arabic TV for them. They even have their own clerics to preach to them in Arabic.
Everyone gets a Koran, paperback or hardback, along with little hammocks to keep their holy book from touching the ground when not in use.
That would be the "holy book" from which they draw inspiration to murder as many innocent Americans as possible.
Guards are prohibited from handling the books. The Muslim librarian is "the only one that's allowed to touch the Korans anymore, per detainee request," the official said. "If I went into the Koran room and started rifling through a Koran, I could be fired."
But no one gets a Bible, because the Bible could "incite" the terrorists.
Not only the Bible but also the American flag is banned, lest it offend the terrorists. It cannot be flown anywhere they might see it.
In short,
Gitmo is no longer a prison camp; it's a state-sponsored madrassa.
It costs taxpayers $800,000 per year to maintain this cushy farce.
Yet still the terrorists complain about their accommodations, still their benefactor Barack Hussein publicly weeps for them, and still the American public tolerates rule by liberals.

The BBC have been accused of sidelining the SNP after it emerged that theirs is the only Party Election Broadcast not available on the BBC's online iPlayer.
When visiting the iPlayer site the link for the SNP election broadcast is marked 'Coming soon'.
The election broadcasts for Labour, Conservative and LibDems are freely available for viewing as are PEB's for other smaller parties. Indeed election broadcasts are available for some parties despite the fact that they were broadcast after the SNP's. The Conservative PEB was broadcast fully two days after the SNP yet has already been made available.
It is understood that the SNP have tackled the BBC on what appears to be yet another attempt at marginalising the party of government in Scotland; a press release from the SNP may be imminent.
This follows the announcement by the SNP that they plan to contest their exclusion from the BBC election debate in court on Tuesday.
The list of PEB's available on iPlayer can be seen by clicking here.

8 Weird Ways People Are Using Facial Recognition Software
As if Facebook hadn't already raised users' privacy worries enough, a new study shows that researchers can link random photos of people to their Facebook profiles via facial recognition technology. And there are many other creepy, offbeat and unexpected places where facial recognition systems are now appearing.
By Mary Beth Griggs
Who's That Chimp?
Germans may not like facial recognition technology on social networking sites, but they don't mind using it on chimps. Earlier this month, scientists at Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft announced that they were developing technology to recognize individual chimps in the wild, assisting researchers who study these populations. The software can help researchers single out members of animal groups for particular study, or lead to more accurate animal population statistics.

text: It's weird to look back and to think that its been almost a year at Centre College. This year has been a crazy rush of events and people. Finals week is not exactly the best week to reflect on events. I have had a massive ammount of caffeine in the past twelve hours and very little sleep. I was gone for an entire week because of the NCCA Div. III tournament. The team spent a week in Angola, Indiana, so I had to make-up three of my exams, once I returned to campus. I am so proud of the team because we came in fourth. This is the highest we have ever placed in the National Tournament. It will be so weird going home now because I will not be around all of my friends. I love it here, and I have grown with the family. I will be running golf tounrnaments all summer and also shadowing doctors. I will love being away for a bit, and moving out will be a pain, but I will miss everyone as soon as I get home. I cannot wait to meet all of the new freshmen that come in next year. Some of them were my prospective students! I hope I get to share some of what I learned over this wonderful, crazy year with them.

What does this planet look like?
Pluto, long considered the solar system's ninth planet, was re-classified as a dwarf planet in 2006. It is the solar system's second largest dwarf planet. It is now classified as the largest object in the Kuiper Belt, a vast area of icy objects controlled by the gravity of Neptune. Because of its distance from Earth, observations of Pluto are difficult to make from Earth. Strong telescopes have revealed that Pluto is brownish with a yellow tint.
How big is this planet?
Pluto is tiny in comparison to the Earth. It possesses less than one percent of the volume of the Earth and is less than one percent as massive. Pluto is smaller than the Earth's moon.
How long does it take to orbit the sun?
247.7 years
What is its gravity like?
Gravitational force on Pluto is 8 % the gravitational force on Earth. A 100 pound Earthling would weigh about 8 pounds on Pluto.
How far is it from the sun? From the Earth?
Pluto is located an average of 3.67 billion miles from the sun. At its closest point, Earth and Pluto are more than 2.6 billion miles apart. At their farthest, the two planets are more 4.65 billion miles apart.
What is its atmosphere like?
Very little is known about Pluto's atmosphere. It is probably dominated by nitrogen with smaller amounts of carbon monoxide and methane. As Pluto moves away from the sun, its atmosphere freezes and breaks up.
What's the temperature like?
Temperatures on Pluto average -393 F.
How many moons does it have?
Pluto has 3 known moons, two of which are extremely small. The largest of its moons, named Charon, is half the size of Pluto. Charon orbits Pluto at a a distance of less than 12,000 miles. The other two moons of Pluto are named Nix and Hydra.
Interesting facts:
* Pluto is less massive than at least seven moons that orbit the inner eight planets.
* Pluto's orbit is highly eccentric, meaning it is not as circular (more elliptical) as the orbits of most planets. As a result, Pluto occasionally orbits closer to the sun that Neptune. This phenomena occurred between 1979 and 1999.

Tesla Motors Pollutes Today for a Greener Tomorrow
Even if you choose to ignore the intermittency issue, the virtue of green electrons resides in their creation rather than their use. Once green electrons exist it doesn't matter whether they power a Tesla or a toaster. One will be cleaner and the other dirtier.
I've read the reviews of the Tesla Model S and have no doubt that it's a fine automobile. It is not, however, a clean automobile and pretending otherwise is deceptive. Adding renewables to the analysis merely adds another level of pollution to the power grid, a shared resource that is every bit as critical to life in an industrialized society as clean air and water.
I've read several reports over the past two days about the 2,900 new Model S reservations Tesla booked in Q3. The thing they all overlooked, however, is the number of cancellations. Tesla had 11,500 reservations at the end of Q2. It booked 2,900 new reservations in Q3 and delivered 250 cars. It ended the quarter with 13,200 reservations. That number is only possible if 950 existing reservations were canceled during the quarter. A one-in-three cancellation rate in the middle of a high-profile product launch is not an encouraging sign.
I'm willing to give Tesla the benefit of the doubt when it comes to reaching its production goal of 5,000 cars per quarter. But if you start with a reservation base of 13,000, deplete it by 5,000 deliveries per quarter and then replenish it by 1,750 reservations per quarter, the mathematical progression for 2013 will be as follows:Q1 -- 9,750 reservations Q2 -- 6,500 reservations Q3 -- 3,250 reservations Q4 -- zero reservations The art of investing is all about balancing upside potential against downside risk; weighing the possible against the likely. Tesla may be a fun stock for traders as the hype cycle runs its course, but with gaping holes in the environmental claims, yawning chasms in the economic claims and serious questions about the commitment of reservation holders, I don't see a reasonable balance between risk and reward.

National Lacrosse League players continue to support Right to Play's Lacrosse for Development Program.
14 NLL players from seven different teams conducted five lacrosse clinics for 375 children over the summer in conjunction with Right to Play, an international humanitarian organization using sport and play to enhance child development in disadvantaged areas.
From Sept. 10-14, Right To Play, in partnership with the Ministry of Children and Youth Services (MCYS), the NLL, and the Thunder Bay Lacrosse League, delivered a unique extension of the Lacrosse For Development program. Youth from the Justice Ronald Lester Youth Centre (JRLYC) participated in four days of activities, facilitated by Right To Play staff and four NLL players from three different teams.
"To see the children become more engaged as the weekend progressed was fantastic," said Buffalo Bandits defenseman Derek Suddons. "Many of the participants will be sure to spread the word about their new sport [lacrosse]. The building of new friendships and teamwork could easily be observed and was absolutely priceless."
Activities at the clinic included educational sessions on the history of lacrosse as the Creator's game, a variety of skill building drills, and a series of leadership and teambuilding activities; all with the goal of increasing participants' sense of self-value as well as their abilities to set goals and plans for the future.
"This is one of the most powerful programs that I have ever been a part of," added Bandits forward Luke Wiles.
Right To Play hopes to continue the positive impacts of this clinic, both to continue to support this year's participants, as well as to reach a wider group of at-risk youth.
"The Lacrosse For Development program was an experience that these youth will never forget," said Youth Centre Administrator Rhonda Perrier-Cameron. "It was truly an awesome week for all."
More recently, Calgary Roughnecks defenseman and team captain Andrew McBride spent a week in November visiting Right to Play programs in Benin, a small nation in West Africa, with the goal of using the sport to support community and organizational initiatives.
Right to Play's Lacrosse For Development Program incorporates international sport-for-development expertise into a sport deeply-rooted in Aboriginal culture and history. The program, created in partnership with the National Lacrosse League and the Professional Lacrosse Players Association (PLPA), is designed to compliment components of Right To Play's Promoting Life Skills in Aboriginal Youth (PLAY) Program. Participants benefit from inter-community activities, and learn vital lacrosse skills and techniques from professional NLL players as powerful role models.

Hello All,
i have encounter strange situation i have set all my network configuration via /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 ,eth0.2 ,eth1 etc .... (CentOs 5.5)
i have used only once Gnome network manage settings to add routing since then all my network config change although all files mention above showing the same config i have set initially and same for Gnome network Manager.
any idea what happen?.
Please advice
I think you should disable the network manager. I don't know if this works for CentOS as well, but on Fedora this is done as follows:
chkconfig NetworkManager off

If you need to find and retain more clients for your law firm, contact us today to see how SEO for lawyers can accomplish this for you.
Here is a great case study we did in the legal field that you may find very interesting, and quite relevant, to seeing just how effective our strategy is for a law firm like yours.
These days it seems every other commercial on television is a promotion for one type of lawyer or another. Maybe you are one of those firms that spend a lot of your ad budget on these types of commercials. And, hopefully, you're getting a positive ROI from them. But, wouldn't you like to get a better return from what you spend in advertising?
Compare these two situations:
A – Your typical high priced tv commercial based on lawyer SEO. Most people are going to be hitting the mute button until their favorite program comes back on, or they may even change the channel altogether. Seriously, what do you do during most commercial breaks when you're at home? It's typically channel surfing time, bathroom break, or hitting the kitchen for a snack until it's over and the actual show is back on. Sure some people will have a pressing need for a lawyer right at that moment but it's the minority, and that's if they are even paying attention at that precise 30 second window. And the odds go down even further depending on what kind of legal service they need and if you provide that specific type.
B – A person in your area is in urgent need of a the exact kind of legal service that you specialize in so they go to Google and do a search for 'Jacksonville foreclosure lawyer' or 'Atlanta personal injury attorney' or 'Insert your city and speciality here'. You get my point. These people are in 'buyer mode'. They have their money in hand to give to you for exactly what your capable of providing to them. No chasing them down, or trying to convince them to use you for what they may or may not need. They come to you. All of this is what's possible if you're at the top of Google when people punch in those searches.
Depending on the size of the city that you live in, hundreds if not thousands of people are searching for legal services in your area each and every month online. And for every kind of lawyer too including but certainly not limited to:
- Personal injury
- Bankruptcy
- Foreclosure defense
- Car & Motorcycle accident
- Criminal
- Custody
- Workers comp
- Malpractice
- General lawsuits
- Family
- Divorce
So if you practice only one type of law or many, there is a ton of traffic out there just waiting to be funneled to your website by implementing our lawyer SEO techiniques. That's what we do, we put you right in the middle of that stream of new visitors looking for what you have to offer. We make you findable online.
It doesn't matter where you live nor does it matter if you just got an online presence or have been online since the inception of the internet. We can improve your results many fold by optimizing your website and driving more targeted leads to you.
Let's face it, the legal profession is only growing bigger, the need for lawyers is only getting stronger every day. Why not tap into this ever increasing flow of hot leads via the internet?
I always recommend thinking of our services as an investment vs an expense. The word expense tends to have a sense of loss to it. Investment says 'money in yet more money out' which is much more fitting for what we offer. Results based service is where it's at and what we offer here.
If you've been stressed lately because you're not getting enough clients into your firm, it's time to relax. We can fix that for you. But you have to take that initial action and contact us so we can get started.
As unfortunate as it is, divorce rates have not slowed down, nor have any of the other types of legal needs gone anywhere but up. People need your services now more than ever, regardless of what the economy at large is or isn't doing. You have what is most certainly an evergreen business which couples perfectly with my business which falls under the same category. Together it's the perfect synergy. One without the other will just fall into the same trap as the rest of the failing businesses out there.
Nothing happens without action so take that fist step today and get in touch. There is absolutely no risk, no pressure, and no obligation. You only stand to gain more business.
Wouldn't it be nice to relax about your client base…about money…for a change? Let's get to work right away and put together the perfect plan tailor made for your specific firm and its needs.
If you want to capitalize on this simply fill out the free form that can be found here or submit a question during daytime hours in the live chat on the right.
In closing, to reiterate the point that I started off with concerning tv commercials and other non-internet related advertising. Sure they can be really snazzy and may even convert really well, IF people see them at all, and if they do, IF they don't just tune them out, and IF they just happen to be in desperate need of the type of legal services you provide.
Those are a lot of big IF's….instead…use our lawyer SEO services for something far more reliable and with a far greater ROI, doesn't that sound reasonable?

Abraham Almonte's magical rise with Mariners
Abraham Almonte has gone from an unknown to an unexpected surprise, from a player acquired to salvage something out of nothing to a player who could make the Mariners' opening-day roster.
Seattle Times staff reporter
PEORIA, Ariz. – Abraham Almonte just shakes his head when he tries to describe the last year of his baseball career.
In that time, he's gone from an unknown to an unexpected surprise, from a player acquired to salvage something out of nothing to a player who could make the Mariners' opening-day roster.
It's been a magical ride for the 24-year-old outfielder. Asked to sum it all up, he used one word — "unbelievable."
Not much was expected of Almonte when he was acquired a few days into spring training last season.
The Mariners had been forced to designate reliever Shawn Kelley for assignment on Feb. 7 to make room on the 40-man roster after signing free-agent catcher Kelly Shoppach.
With Kelley not likely to clear waivers, the Mariners tried to salvage something out of the situation and acquired Almonte from the Yankees in a trade. The Mariners knew they had acquired a speedy, switch-hitting minor-league outfielder with some potential.
Almonte had hit .276 (88 for 319) with 17 doubles, four triples, four homers and stole 30 bases in 78 games for Class AA Trenton.
There was some talent.
But what the Mariners didn't completely realize was that Almonte was finally healthy — physically, mentally and emotionally. His surgically repaired shoulder no longer ached and his eyes were finally clear from the late-night drinking binges. In 2011, Almonte addressed his growing alcohol problem and became a born-again Christian.
"It saved me," he said.
With his personal life in order, he focused on his professional life.
The 2013 season was a product of that change. Almonte didn't get a major-league spring-training invitation after the trade. He participated in the Mariners' minor-league minicamp and was eventually sent to Class AA Jackson. After 29 games with the Generals where he hit .255 with six doubles, four homers and 18 runs batted in, he was moved up to Class AAA Tacoma. Almonte blossomed with the Rainiers. In 94 games, he hit .314 with 17 doubles, 11 homers and 50 RBI while stealing 20 bases.
It earned him a September call-up where he hit .264 with four doubles, two homers and nine RBI in 25 games. He even caught the eye of new manager Lloyd McClendon last season when the Mariners played the Tigers.
"When they came to Detroit last year, this guy played extremely well," said McClendon, who was serving as Detroit's hitting coach at the time. "It was a bit of an eye opener."
Almonte hopes to continue opening eyes this spring and play his way onto the 25-man roster. He has a good chance to hook on as a fourth outfielder. With his ability to play all three outfield positions, his speed and his ability to switch-hit, he offers a lot of versatility and options for McClendon.
"His speed, that's an asset," McClendon said. "You don't coach that. It's inherited. That's a nice piece to have. He's an interesting young man and he'll get opportunities."
Almonte knows he must make the most of his situation. It motivated him all offseason.
"I always work hard in the offseason, but this year it was more," he said. "When you get to the big leagues, the competition is much better. You play to win there. And if you want to win, then you need to work more."
Some of that work came in the Mariners' new academy in his native Dominican Republic. He was a celebrity among the young players there. Almonte had made it to the big leagues and yet he was there sweating, running and working with them as equals.
"I liked being around them," he said. "I was like them a few years ago. So I tried to be there and talk to them and help them."
Almonte's reasoning was simple.
"I would have liked somebody to do the same thing for me," he said. "I think baseball teaches you something every day about how you have to play. I'm still learning."
The message was simple: work hard, always give 100 percent, listen to the coaches, keep your head up and good things can happen.
But Almonte didn't just tell them. He showed them.
"I worked on everything," he said. "I had it in my mind that I have to work harder and harder. I want to stay in the big leagues."

Deciding where to live as an expat in Istanbul is an important choice. There are many factors to consider, such as where you are working, who you are with and what you consider as important in your daily life. Istanbul is a vast, densely populated city with a huge range of options for living. Our local experts have put together a list of the most popular places to live for expats in Istanbul along with their major characteristics... with everything from most and least appealing features to how to get there and away!
Lying along the Marmara Sea on Istanbul's European side, Bakırköy is a middle-class residential neighbourhood close to Atatürk International Airport. The area boasts a number of large shopping malls and business centres. Although perhaps not as vibrant or aesthetically appealing as the areas on the other side of the Golden Horn, the growing number of English language schools attracts a large number of teachers to Bakırköy, along with those working in the aviation industry.
Income Scale: Mid Range
Beşiktaş & European Bosphorus
The sprawling Beşiktaş district is comprised of some of Istanbul's most desirable suburbs including Arnavutköy, Bebek, Etiler, Levent and Ortaköy. The areas clustered closest to the Bosphorus are characterised by their beautiful wooden Ottoman villas, lush parks, exclusive nightclubs, cosy cafes and gourmet restaurants, while a little further inland the focus turns more toward business, shopping and entertainment. During rush hour, the roads become very conjested in this district. Beşiktaş centre itself has a laid back, studenty vibe, while suburbs like Levent, Etiler, Arnavutköy and Bebek largely cater to an elite market. Generally speaking, prices rise the closer places get to the water.
Income Scale: Low - Mid - Upper Range
Beyoğlu - Taksim
Something of a hedonist's paradise, it is impossible to get bored in Istanbul's Beyoğlu-Taksim district. With the largest concentration of cafes, restaurants, bars and nightclubs in the city, Taksim also hosts a plethora of art galleries and museums, shops of just about every description and many historical sites just waiting to be discovered. Popular with foreigners for centuries, many expats in Istanbul choose to live in Taksim because of its lively atmosphere, wide range of housing options (from budget to luxury) and good connections with the public transport system. More upper-scale neighbourhoods in Taksim include the charming Cihangir and Çukurcuma, while those on a tight budget cluster around the area's more ramshackle backstreets.
Income Scale: Low-Mid-Upper Range
Eminönü, comprised of the Sultanahmet district, is usually the first place that comes to mind for visitors to Istanbul. Boasting a jaw-dropping number of historical sites, beautifully restored Ottoman houses and views over the sea from its many terraces, Eminönü is no doubt one of the most picturesque of Istanbul's suburbs. Because of this, the area is flooded with tourists all year round, inflating prices in most places and adding a touch of surreality to it all. The narrow, cobbled streets also make driving and parking here difficult, however, it is very well connected to Istanbul's public transportation system.
Income Scale: Low - Mid - Upper Range
Kadiköy's main appeal lies in its laid back nature. It may not boast the historical sites of the Eminönü Peninsula or the grandeur of the Bosphorus-side suburbs, but it nevertheless maintains its own charm. Chock-full of English language schools, universities (private and public), dersanes (preparatory schools) and other educational institutiions, this largely middle-class district on the Asian side of Istanbul is becoming an increasingly popular to live for expat teachers and students as well as families. The district is large, spreading from Kadiköy centre outwards to areas like Moda, Acibadem and the shopping and entertainment areas in and around Bagdat Street. Kadiköy has a lively restaurant, cafe and nightlife scene and is well connected to other areas of Istanbul by land and sea.
Income Scale: Low - Mid Range
Situated at the heart of Istanbul's central business district, Mecidiyeköy is dominated by large skyscrapers, modern shopping malls and concrete apartment blocks. With its own Metro and Metrobus stops, this bustling area is a convenient place of residence for businesspeople and those who want to be close to Istanbul's main shopping and nightlife districts. (Taksim is just 5 minutes away by Metro). The cost of living here is generally very reasonable, although this is somewhat offset by the lack of green spaces.
Income Scale: Low - Mid Range
One of Istanbul's most Europeanised suburbs, Nişantaşı is a highly desirable place to live for expats in Istanbul. With its wide boulevards and graceful architecture, Nişantaşı oozes style. The area is renowned for its high street fashion shopping and upscale nightlife and restaurant scene with foreign brands in excess. By its very nature, the cost of living here is high.
Income Scale: Upper Range
Üsküdar is a middle class, residential suburb on the Asian side of the city. Littered with remnants of Istanbul's Ottoman past and with the largest concentration of mosques in the city, Üsküdar has something of an exotic air about it. Though noticeably more conservative than nearby Kadıköy, the people are generally very welcoming and the cost of living is lower. Üsküdar's centre is situated just opposite the Marmara Sea, making it easy to get to other areas of the city by water thanks to the well developed ferry services.

IBM Tops Apple and Microsoft to Take U.S. Patent Crown
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- IBM (IBM) received the most U.S. patents in 2013, according to data from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) and IFI Claims patent service, as the hardware, software and services giant continued its aggressive pace of innovation.
The tech bellwether was comfortably ahead of Samsung, Canon, Sony (SNE) and Microsoft (MSFT), which leapfrogged Panasonic to take fifth place. Google (GOOG) and Apple (AAPL) climbed to 11th and 13th place, respectively, in the annual list.
This is the 21st consecutive year that IBM has led the ranking of U.S. patent leaders. The Armonk, N.Y.-based company was awarded 6,809 patents in 2013, up slightly from 6,478 in 2012. Here's the top 10 list of 2013 patent winners:
- Samsung 4,676
- Canon 3,825
- Sony 3,098
- Microsoft 2,660
- Panasonic 2,601
- Toshiba 2,416
- Hon Hai 2,279
- Qualcomm 2,103
- LG Electronics 1,947
There were plenty of other tech heavyweights on the list. Google was awarded 1,851 patents in 2013, a sharp increase from 1,151 in 2012, when it took 21st place on the list. Apple, with 1,775 patents, has also increased its pace of innovation from 2012, when it was awarded 1,136 patents and held 22nd place.(INTC), HP (HPQ) and BlackBerry (BBRY) were in 18th, 19th and 20th place, respectively, in the 2013 list. Chipmaker Intel was awarded 1,455 patents, up from 1,290 last year. HP, which is in the throes of a massive corporate overhaul, brought in 1,360 patents, down slightly from 1,394 in 2012. Embattled smartphone maker BlackBerry received 1,334 patents in 2013, a significant increase from 986 in 2012, when it operated as Research In Motion. A number of IBM's 2013 patents are in a technology area the company describes as "cognitive computing" in which computers can learn and interact with people in a natural fashion. One of the best examples of this is IBM's Watson supercomputer, which made a headline-grabbing debut on quiz show Jeopardy in 2011. Last week, at a glitzy New York event, Big Blue announced a $1 billion investment in Watson and a business unit devoted solely to its supercomputer technology. Based at 51 Astor Place in New York's "Silicon Alley" tech hub, the Watson Group will focus on cloud-based innovation and also will help customers cope with the challenge of big data.

Chicago PMI Shows Continued Momentum in US Manufacturing
In a leading indicator the Chicago PMI came in stronger-than-expected for the December period. The index posted a reading of 62.5, basically matching November 62.6 and much stronger than the forecast of a 60.4 print which would have meant a slower expansion of activity.
New orders eased to 60.0 from November 70.2, while the employment index rose to 58.6 from 56.9 – a positive for the US labor market.
The Chicago PMI is important because the factories in that region track the US auto industry quite nicely and the report shows that the pick up in momentum in the US economy, which we have seen from data over the last couple of months, continues. That furthers the "growth divergence story" between America and that of Europe and Asia.
The Chicago PMI is used as a curtain opener for the ISM manufacturing index which will get in Tuesday's session next week.
Other regional manufacturing reports were better-than-expected this month as well as the Empire manufacturing index climbed to 9.5 from November 0.6 and the Philadelphia fed index rose to 10.3 from 3.6.
That all bodes well for the upcoming national manufacturing activity report.
US consumers have increased their spending on cars of late and that the bodes well for US factories, especially as inventories have been run down in anticipation of leaner times ahead.
While of course the risk of a negative development in the euro zone sovereign debt crisis looms large, one concern is that the EUR/USD which has moves below the $1.30 level this week means that US exports become more expensive abroad. That could limit one avenue of growth for US manufacturers.
In any case, coupled with a positive report on housing, the S&P pushed to new highs following the Chicago PMI release.
From Bloomberg: "The number of Americans signing contracts to buy previously owned homes rose more than forecast in November as falling prices and low borrowing costs boosted demand.
The index of pending home sales increased 7.3 percent to the highest level since April 2010 after climbing 10.4 percent the prior month, figures from the National Association of Realtors showed today in Washington. Economists forecast a 1.5 percent gain, according to the median estimate in a Bloomberg News survey.
The two reports help to help to mitigate the week fundamental report we saw in jobless claims and boost tentative "risk-on" sentiment in the currency markets.

|control of pollution by removing potential pollutants from an effluent stream (for example removing the NOx from vehicle exhausts or the sulphur dioxide from coal-fired power station emissions).
|energy labelling
|a compulsory EU labelling scheme for consumer products, such as refrigerators, that meet given levels of energy efficiency and, sometimes, other environmental or performance criteria.
|energy standards
|regulations specifying the minimum efficiency of electrical appliances (see also environmental standards).
|flora and fauna
|the plants (flora) and animals (fauna) in a given area.
|food chain
|a series of organisms beginning with plants where each stage feeds on the stage below it. In general, the series consists of plants–herbivores– carnivores
|foul and flee
|a way of dealing with pollution by carrying out a polluting activity until local pollutant levels become too high and then moving to another area and repeating the process. This was common in pre-industrial days, but began to be phased out during the Industrial Revolution.
|a proprietary name (or trade name) for a particular brand of CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons).
|global climate change
|a warming of the global climate believed to be due to the accumulation of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and caused by the releases of these gases through human activity.
|greenhouse effect
|mechanism whereby incoming solar radiation is trapped by carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the Earth's atmosphere in the same way as heat is trapped by glass in a greenhouse.
|greenhouse gases
|gases which have the effect of warming the global climate. Without them the Earth's temperature would be some tens of degrees Celsius colder than it is now (and life would not have evolved in its current form), but current concern is about global climate change caused by their increase in the atmosphere since the Industrial Revolution. The principal greenhouse gas is carbon dioxide, others are methane, nitrous oxide and CFCs.
|place with a particular kind of environment where a given organism lives, e.g. coniferous forest for the red squirrel.
|or hydrochlorofluorocarbons. Designed to be a replacement for CFCs, they have a lower potential for destroying the ozone layer (typically less than a tenth), but most are strong greenhouse gases. HCFC use is to be phased out over the period 2020–2040 (see also HFCs).
|energy due to the temperature of a substance, and the kinetic energy of the molecules composing it. Also called thermal energy.
|or hydrofluorocarbons. Designed as a replacement for CFCs. As they contain no chlorine, they do not deplete the ozone layer and are not covered by the Montreal Protocol, but they are strong greenhouse gases (see also HCFCs).
|compounds of hydrogen and carbon only. One of the main uses of hydrocarbons is in fuels. Methane, the simplest hydrocarbon, is the main constituent in natural gas.
|Industrial Revolution
|the transformation of the British economy from a rural to an urban one during the 18th and 19th centuries. This period was characterised by the development of industrial processes, the development of factories and the growth of cities.
|infrared (IR) rediation
|all bodies, including the Sun and the Earth, give out and absorb energy in the form of IR radiation. The infrared can be thought of as radiant heat and refers to radiation with a wavelength longer than that of light. The range of IR wavelengths given out by a body depends on its temperature and the IR from the Earth is quite different in quality to that coming from the Sun.
|kilowatt-hour (kWh)
|1 kWh is equivalent to the 'Unit' used in metering domestic electricity. It is a quantity of energy equal to 3600 kJ. (The energy consumed by an electrical appliance in kWh can be calculated by multiplying the power consumption (in kW) by the length of time (in hours) the appliance is operated for.)
|Kyoto climate change protocol
|an international agreement stemming from the 1997 climate change conference held in the Japanese city of Kyoto. Under this protocol, most industrialised countries agreed a legally binding obligation to reduce the emission of gases (particularly carbon dioxide) contributing to climate change.
|laissez faire
|in environmental tds, taking no action to control pollution but letting the natural environment absorb (and in some cases treat) the pollutant. In economic tds it means a belief that the workings of a free economic market will always produce the best result (as opposed to regulation by any agency).
|Maslow's hierarchy of human needs
|a way of looking at needs which stretches from basic needs of food, shelter and water at the base up to the higher needs of love and truth at the top.
|the smallest part of a substance (chemical element or compound) which can exist independently.
|Montreal Protocol
|an international agreement signed in 1987 to phase out the use of CFCs and other substances that damage the ozone layer. This protocol has been signed by around 60 countries (but not by China or India).
|organochlorine compounds
|a class of chemicals that are products or unwanted by-products of the organic chemicals industry. Many of them are highly toxic and accumulate in the environment or in living things and degrade at a very slow rate.
|a group of chemicals developed from nerve gases. They are used as pesticides and degrade much more rapidly than organochlorine compounds. However, the long-td environmental effects of organophosphates are not known.
|a reactive form of oxygen whose molecules contain three oxygen atoms. Ozone is a pollutant in the lower atmosphere (troposphere), but its presence in the upper atmosphere (stratosphere) provides the protection from ultra-violet radiation necessary for life to have evolved on Earth.
|ozone depletion (ozone hole)
|a reduction in the level of ozone in the upper atmosphere (or stratosphere) (see also chlorofluorocarbons).
|ozone layer
|the zone of the upper atmosphere of about 15–30 km above the Earth (i.e. the lower stratosphere) where a comparatively high concentration of ozone is present. The ozone absorbs ultraviolet radiation from the Sun, so preventing excessive amounts from reaching the Earth.
|large molecules consisting of repeated structural units; plastics.
|precautionary principle
|the assumption that any action which might cause environmental change, for example the release of a substance into the environment, is environmentally damaging until proved otherwise.
|in the classification of living organisms, it is the smallest unit of classification commonly used; for the majority of plants and animals it is a group of individuals able to breed among themselves but not able to breed with organisms of other groups.
|the layer of the atmosphere above the lower atmosphere, or troposphere, where our weather occurs. Its height varies with season and latitude, but usually lies between 10–15 km and 60–80 km above the Earth's surface.
|sulphur dioxide
|sometimes referred to as SO2 or SOx, an acid gas formed by the combustion of fuels containing sulphur (such as coal). Sulphur dioxide is responsible for acid rain which damages buildings and ecosystems and can cause localised respiratory problems.
|a concept that combines environmental impacts of human activities with social and economic concerns and relates to the capacity of the Earth to accommodate them (see also sustainable development).
|sustainable development
|a system of development that allows current generations to develop economically and socially without passing on insoluble problems to future generations. Often defined as 'development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs' (see also sustainability).
|a measure of the potential damage to life posed by a particular substance or toxin. It is related to both concentration and time of exposure.
|ultraviolet (UV) radiation
|the energy radiating from the Sun with a wavelength shorter than visible light but longer than that of X-rays. The more energetic part of the UV radiation from the Sun is damaging to human and ecosystem health, but most of this is removed by the ozone layer before it reaches the Earth's surface.
|a personal view of an issue or of the importance of taking or preventing a particular action. Values are subjective and cannot be described in tds of 'right and wrong'.

New Fi3F Index(TM) Ranks Appeal of 180 Nations for Worldwide Franchise Expansion Opportunities
Qatar and Australia tie for top ranking, followed by S. Korea and Singapore; Additional Fi3 indices to rank country appeal for exporters and direct investors
NEW YORK, Feb. 13, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- (http://www.myprgenie.com) -- Fi3F(TM), a new proprietary and forward-looking index that measures the attractiveness of 180-nations for franchisors seeking to expand internationally, is being introduced today by Fluent in Foreign(TM) LLC, a New York City advisory group that guides companies as they seek to establish or expand their franchise business abroad.
Fluent in Foreign is headed by Alexander Gordin, author of the international business guidebook "Fluent in Foreign Business," which was published last summer by the Princeton Council on World Affairs. The Fi3F franchising index is the first in a planned series of three indices. The other two - Fi3E(TM) and Fi3I(TM) - are geared for Exporters and direct foreign Investors, respectively.
The Fi3F Franchisor Country Appeal Indices(TM) evaluates each nation using proven factors that include proprietary data combined with information obtained from the World Bank, United Nations, Transparency International and several U.S. government agencies. The index looks at factors that include each country's GDP growth, population size, education, availability of franchise financing, political risk insurance, corruption, investor protection and legal framework for contract enforcement and IP protection.
The top spot on the list is shared by the tiny Persian Gulf state of Qatar and Australia. In descending order, others on the top 10 list are: South Korea, Singapore, U.S., Malaysia, Canada, China, Mongolia and New Zealand. Sign up at http://www.fluentinforeign.com for the full list.
Gordin said emerging markets like the former Soviet bloc in Eastern Europe or South East Asia, while much smaller in GDP than the BRIC nations of Brazil, Russia, India and China, may have more opportunities for U.S. franchisors because they often offer a fertile business climate and have not yet felt the influx of American and other western franchises.
"The Fi3F Index will serve as a significant starting point for franchisors as they look overseas," Gordin added. "It will save countless hours of preparation and research as well as offer cautionary signs where appropriate."
Fluent in Foreign LLC is a unique advisory and information platform designed to help franchisors, direct investors and exporters prepare to enter foreign markets or expand existing international operations. They help clients do business with new countries and governments. Their services include financing, political risk insurance, legal compliance and strategic business development.
Alexander Gordin, Fluent in Foreign managing director, is also a co-founder and managing director of the New York Merchant Bank, Broad Street Capital Group.

Peter Auger, Auburn Hills City Manager
Thoughts on running a city, daily musings, and everything in between.
City Manager, Auburn Hills, MI
I like life's journey and everyone experiences a little bit different adventure in their own journey through life. Recently, one of the boards that I have the honor of sitting on lost our chairman. I should say he lost his six year battle with cancer. Maybe lost is the wrong word, it seems so negative for a guy who was so positive. Maybe, just maybe, his victory was how he lived and how he showed us how to live.
He never wore his fight of the cancer that his body was fighting on his sleeve. In fact, many who knew him probably did not know his challenges and daily battles.
How many times in life do we compare our life to what we think others lives are? Maybe we shouldn't be so quick to judge, to apply a bumper sticker to someone else's journey. There are times like this when we search for answers. Just maybe we don't have to know all the answers, patience, the answers may come when we least expect it.
If someone doesn't answer you, or seems distracted, maybe they are. Enjoy each day, each breath and each relationship for you are not only on your journey but probably a major part of someone else's adventure.

Breaking news
Australian mother arrested for murder in mass killing of 8 children
The UN Security Council (UNSC) said it is seeking "clarity" on recent conflicting claims of chemical weapons use near Damascus, adding that humanitarian aid needs to be provided to the victims as soon as possible.
View full story
Somebody made a real good observation point about the people running around helping the supposed victims and others taking pictures immediately after the alleged detonation of the Sarin gas without any protection and they don't seem affected by the fumes which it stays in the air for quite sometime..this whole thing is poorly staged,it can only fool idiots like the French and English.
The Israeli Zionist regime had already carried out a missile attack against Eatern Goutha on the 5th of May 2013 in support of its terror mercenary army soon after the area was liberated by the Syrian army, killing over 300 Syrian troops. This was another Zionist Israeli missile attack. Israel wants blood, but most of all it wants Syrian oil ready to be extracted from the newly discovered basin in the Golan Heights region it illegally occupies. No matter if Iran will be dragged into the conflict turning it into a regional war or even if it turns into a global war. All the Zionists want is blood and oil!
This is a crime against humanity, so once the UNSC has accumulated its evidence from both Russian and 'Western' Inspectors, it should then show the way forward. Both teams must go investigate together with the media from both powers following their every move. What is concerning at this early stage is that William Hague has a suspect, and is unwavering in his theory based on speculation. This coming from the same English Political Status quo that lied about WMD's in Iraq – But now the world must believe these 'outed' liars?
I suspect that Washington will be able to control the outcome and conclusions of this investigation.
Except its not the late 80's or the early 90's and it just looks retarded.. but hey , when ya need to start a war ya need to start a war., right?
I think what has occurred here is that babies have been thrown from incubators and left to die on the cold floor...
The usual pretext for military action is based on the knee-jerk reaction of people who scream bloody murder when they see some shocking footage. This instinctive reaction must be exploited immediately before logic regains control. People are too gullible to realize that any 'act of terror' must have some reason behind it. And the reason is to provoke a certain reaction. What would the reasons be for Assad to use chemical weapons? None. Chemical weapons can't be precisely controlled. It's their major drawback. 1 factory made chemical bomb is enough to kill a small city. Is this the way to fight insurgents? I guess no.
Too soon to say anything but not soon to say the Syrian Government had absolutely no reason to do it and even more now. So, the opportunity to use rude CW can be only attributed to the terrorists, they would gain in using it so the Syrian Government could be blamed, this is no brainer and I bet the UN team will find out the answers very quickly id the terrorists allow them to go there and check the rude rocket that launched the thing. Shame on the global media to be biased against Syria.
Thank you Pavlos Giorkas - a great idea.
And to everyone reading this: The western media
gets more and more censored every day, newspapers in France, Germany and basically almostevery paper from a Nato member country are repeating these lies over and over ( not only about Syria), it is really sickening and its getting worse. There is a real Agenda behind all of this.
Be not mistaken. This is why the social media becomes increasingly important.
Pleas e spread what you know!
Cameron (uk) supplied syria with the chemicals to make the chemical weapons along with traditional weapons...
I was very upset this morning when I notice that all newspapers in Cyprus were talking about ''Asad's Chemical Attack on Civilians''
The signal from the Western terrorists has been send to all over the world in order to start re producing this lie.
I my self immediately realised the lie, but unfortunately the majority of my coworkers believed the lies.
I'm sharing the article that user Tom Tolle suggested in his comment to all of my Social Media accounts.
I suggest you do the same !

There's nothing that we love more than a well-designed bike, so we get excited when designers take a long hard look at one and give us a vision of things to come. David Gonçalves' Grasshopper is a folding electric bicycle that not only serves as a means of transportation, but can also become a stationary exercise bike and can even generate and store kinetic energy.
David Gonçalves recently wowed us with his Scarab Concept Vehicle, so we were excited to see that he had another great green concept design up his sleeve. The Grasshopper's compact foldable frame makes it a great option for inner-city residents, since it would easily fit in an apartment or a crowded subway car. A rechargeable battery stores energy generated by pedaling and regenerative braking, making it a versatile and sustainable transportation solution.

You worked hard to maintain a beautiful home and now you have squirrels chewing holes in it! Squirrels may seem cute when they are in a tree, but they damage your home and hang out in your warm attic.
1) Use a Squirrel Repellant in your yard or garden. Some repellants are sprayed or sprinkled and others are hung in areas you wish to be squirrel-free. Many manufacturers make a repellant made from fox urine or a similar smelling substance, as foxes are natural enemies to the squirrel.
2) Keep all trash out of your yard since squirrels eat nearly anything. If they think they can find food in your yard, they will stay around.
3) Young and active cats are natural predators and would love the opportunity to chase the squirrels right out of your yard.
4) Use squirrel-proof bird feeders so the squirrels will give up on getting the seeds. Or use safflower seeds since they are too bitter for squirrels.

5) Try using habanera sauce or Ropel spray to prevent squirrels from chewing on your home. You can even grind up hot peppers and put them around your garden.
6) Seal ALL open areas into your home and chimney with steel so the squirrels cannot chew through.
7) Use squirrel traps to safely trap them and relocate them.
8) Trim low hanging branches from trees to prevent squirrels from jumping from the trees to your house.
9) Try setting up a feeding area for the squirrels far away from your house so they have their own area to eat and will be less likely to chew their way through your house.
10) Use a strobe light in your attic to scare the squirrels and other animals away.
If all else fails… Contact a Pest Control Specialist to help with Squirrel removal. No one can prevent wildlife from being in their natural environment, but they can be prevented from entering and damaging your home.
