RedPrairie and JDA Software Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: JDAS) ("JDA") today announced that they have received notice from the Federal Trade Commission granting early termination of the waiting period for U.S. antitrust review under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended ("HSR Act"), in connection with the previously announced transaction in which entities affiliated with RedPrairie will acquire all outstanding shares of common stock of JDA. Accordingly, the condition to the closing of the transaction previously disclosed with respect to the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the HSR Act has been satisfied. The transaction remains subject to other closing conditions, including certain additional regulatory clearances, as set forth in the Offer to Purchase filed by RedPrairie and certain of its affiliates with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on November 15, 2012.

Nigeria has the largest economy in Africa, at more than US$500 billion, and ranks 23rd in the world. A recent re-evaluation of Nigeria's true economic size doubled the previous estimate, and brought it well ahead of South Africa, which is a member (unlike Nigeria) of the G20 club for political as well as economic reasons. Nigeria's economy can be said to be quite diverse from one point of view, but heavily dependent on oil and gas at the same time. Oil and natural gas account for about 15% of Nigera's overall economy, but traditionally represent more than 90% of the country's exports and as...

Is Soros taking his biggest gamble ever?
Related Articles
Published: 18 July 2008
As his words reverberated around the news wires on Tuesday, the markets plunged. Wall Street watched helplessly as 200 points were wiped off the Dow after federal reserve chairman Ben Bernanke warned of trouble ahead in the US economy. Worries over America's two biggest mortgage lenders and a run on a failing bank that mirrored Britain's Northern Rock crisis contributed to a sense that things were spinning out of control. In London, the FTSE 100 index fell 160 points amid scenes of near-panic. There was a minor recovery but banking shares hit their lowest level for a decade.
As all this unfolded, Soros's bleak assessment came like a thunderclap from the darkening clouds. Soros is the man credited, if that's the right word, with breaking the Bank of England. His judgments over more than 30 years of investment performance provide a template for making indecent amounts of money and he is admired and feared, probably in equal measure. When he says we are in trouble, people listen. When he acts on his own advice, they pay very, very careful attention. This is one of those times.
Talk in the City suggests Soros has taken a significant position on the FTSE index. His nephew Peter Soros is believed to be overseeing the London operation, although when the Evening Standard contacted him yesterday by telephone he declined to speak. When asked if he was, in fact, heavily shorting the UK stock market, he replied "no comment" on three occasions - and then hung up.
It has been known for some time that Soros has gone short on European stocks but now the word is that, through his investment fund, he is staking a big down bet on London quoted shares.
This is how speculators - and Soros is the daddy of them all - make money in falling markets. By buying financial instruments called futures it is possible to take a punt on the movement of the Footsie. Soros's bet, it is believed, is that it will go down.
So what, it might be thought? A lot of people think the Footsie has further to fall. Nicola Horlick, the influential fund manager, has been telling anyone who'll listen to get out of equities. There was a rally yesterday but this morning the index fell 46.9 points to 5239. Will it continue downwards, breaching even the psychologically important 5,000 level? News today that the Treasury is looking at relaxing its own rules on government borrowing will not help. Many will see any attempt by government to borrow its way out of the current crisis as a desperation measure.
Most of the indicators suggest Soros may be safe with his bet that the Footsie will dive. But the clever money might suggest this is hardly the point. The real question is does Soros have the ability to turn his punt into a self-fulfilling prophecy? In these febrile times, with the market like a man sleepwalking on a precipice, perception is everything. Can the power of Soros's reputation and history help tip the FTSE index over the edge?
Any move by Soros commands special attention. His cachet may have slipped a little in the past few years but he still has a reputation for being a man who can move markets, especially those as delicately poised as London is just now. Who can forget Black Wednesday?
On 16 September, 1992, Britain was forced to quit the European Exchange Mechanism after a humiliation that saw the Treasury spend £27 billion in an attempt to shore up the pound. It had been sold short relentlessly by speculators among whom Soros was believed to be the most active. He is said to have made £1 billion from the affair, although he has never confirmed - or denied - this figure. As Soros bets against the Footsie now the inevitable question is - could he do it again?
There may be a view that the stock market has the resilience to withstand even an assault by Soros. But as awareness grows of his shorting strategy there is a bound to be a reaction. The impact of this reaction may depend on how aggressive he and, no doubt, his associates, decide to be.
After hammering the pound, Soros repeated the exercise with the Thai baht. His Quantum fund has been among the most successful investment vehicles ever seen and despite giving away a sizeable portion of his wealth - $6 billion according to one estimate - Soros still features high on the list of the world's richest individuals with a fortune of at least $10 billion. Last year he was the second biggest hitter on Wall Street, according to Forbes magazine, with earnings of $2.4 billion. Soros will be 78 next month. Apart from his philanthropy, he has also been busy helping shape the modern world. His backing for the Solidarity movement in Poland, Charter 77 in Czechoslovakia and the Rose Revolution in Georgia contributed to profound change in those countries. His influence on Russia before and after communism has been widely acknowledged. He may have failed in his ambition to topple George W Bushbut his successes have been many and some will wonder why he might be bothered, at this stage in his life, to risk a potentially bloody battle on the London stock market.
Perhaps it is a matter of unfinished business. Soros is still hungry for recognition but not as a man who can make vast amounts of money, rather as a prophet of the age, although the word he might use is philosopher. Indeed, philosophy is Soros's first and most enduring love. Anyone trying to second guess himwould do well to look at his roots.
He was born in Budapest in 1930, the son of Teodor Schwartz, a Jewish intellectual and idealist who had been captured by the Russians on the eastern front in the First World War. Teodor made it back to Hungary and pursued a career as a lawyer and one of the world's leading exponents of Esperanto. As fascism took hold in Germany and elsewhere he changed the family name from Schwartz to Soros, the Esperanto for "will soar".
After the war Georgemade his way to London and was accepted as a student at the London School of Economics where he encountered the man who was to become one of the most profound influences in his life, Professor Karl Popper.
Sir Karl, as he became, was an Austrian to whom Soros could relate on almost every level. Theirs was a shared background of intellectual rigour, often set in the context of a conversation, or chess game, in a central european coffee house. Popper's Open Society thesis was adopted wholeheartedly by Soros who expounds it to this day. He is currently chairman of the Open Society Institute. For Soros, an open society is a global entity where the rivalries and conflicts of nation states become irrelevant.
One can detect in this the ideals of Esperanto, the international language that would allow communication between the world's peoples, whatever their mother tongue. Soros values highly the ability of individuals to communicate. When he stepped in with aid for post-communism Hungary one of his first gifts was to provide libraries and schools throughout the country with photocopiers so printed material could be widely circulated.
But it is not as a Popper acolyte that Soros may wish to be remembered. He has formulated his own philosophy and an important element of it is relevant to the question of whether he might be working on a strategy to humble London's financial markets. The key word is "reflexivity", a term he coined as a label for his own thinking on how markets work.
The idea of reflexivity is that perceptions - and misconceptions - interact with an underlying reality while having the ability to change that reality. According to Soros, participants in events change the facts through the way they think about them while the events themselves can change the thinking. The relevance of that to current happenings in the City needs no explanation.
When he delivered a lecture on reflexivity in Washington in 1994, he expressed disappointment that it had not been more widely accepted. Some feel Soros is a touch miffed that his many books have failed to have the impact he might have liked. His latest, The New Paradigm for Financial Markets, opens with the statement that "this is the worst crisis since the Great Depression". It has been well received and, unlike some of his earlier works, is a bestseller.
It is tempting to imagine that the state of the financial markets offers Soros an opportunity not just to make money but also to demonstrate once and for all that his theory of reflexivity really does work.
He may feel he has nothing left to prove.
He lives comfortably but not lavishly by some billionaire standards, commuting between a gleaming white mansion in Westchester County in upstate New York and a house in Onslow Gardens on the border of Kensington and Chelsea. Apart from fund management, he oversees his philanthropic work, writes and gives occasional interviews. In an interview with the Wall Street Journal last month, he was tackled about the fact that the dire predictions in his new book repeated similar warnings in two earlier works but neither of them came true. Was he crying wolf again?
Soros took the point in good humour. "After the boy cried wolf three times," he said, "the wolf really came."

Hi all. I ordered this part fir my Shimano XT m785 crank set but it does not fit. I have the same problem as what the reviewer describes in the review below. Basically it's too small. I compared it side by side to another plate from one of my other cranks and it's about a millimetre or two smaller in dimension. My question is how can Shimano sell this when it doesn't fit? I ordered the same part from two different vendors thinking they sent me the wrong part but both were exactly the same. Grrrrr!!!

Richard Dawkins, the patron saint of nonbelievers, caused a stir earlier this year during a debate with the Archbishop of Canterbury, who noted that his opponent is often described as the world's most famous atheist. "Not by me," Dawkins replied before providing his standard explanation—a supreme being is possible but highly improbable—which led a London newspaper to proclaim that the world's most notorious skeptic was hedging his bets. Far from it. Dawkins, at 71, remains an unbending and sharp-tongued critic of religious dogmatism. Like any scientist who challenges the Bible and its lyrical version of creation, he spends a great deal of time defending Charles Darwin's theory that all life, including humans, evolved over eons through natural selection, rather than being molded 10,000 years ago by an intelligent but unseen hand.
Dawkins, who retired from Oxford University in 2008 after 13 years as a professor of public understanding of science (meaning he lectured and wrote books), stepped into the limelight in 1976, at the age of 35, with the publication of The Selfish Gene. The book, which has sold more than a million copies, argues persuasively that evolution takes place at the genetic level; individuals die, but the fittest genes survive. Dawkins has since written 10 more best-sellers, including most recently The Magic of Reality: How We Know What's Really True. Since 9/11 he has become more outspoken about his skepticism, culminating in The God Delusion, which provides the foundation for his continuing debates with believers. Published in 2006, the book has become Dawkins's most popular, available in 31 languages with 2 million copies sold. That same year he founded the Richard Dawkins Foundation for Reason and Science "to support scientific education, critical thinking and evidence-based understanding of the natural world in the quest to overcome religious fundamentalism, superstition, intolerance and suffering." His books have made Dawkins a popular speaker and champion of critical thinking. In March he spoke to 20,000 people at the Reason Rally on the National Mall in Washington, D.C.; a week later he was at Fort Bragg in North Carolina, offering encouragement to the first gathering of atheistic and agnostic soldiers ever allowed on a U.S. military base.
Dawkins lives in Oxford with his third wife, Lalla Ward, best known for her role as Romana on Doctor Who. But he is rarely home for long, and Contributing Editor Chip Rowe had to travel to three cities to complete their conversation. He reports: "Dawkins is a careful speaker with little patience for foolishness (which is everywhere, especially among the faithful and the occasional journalist), but he straightens and his eyes dance when he is asked to explain an evolutionary principle. We met for the first time in Las Vegas at a convention for skeptics. We talked again when he visited New York to lecture at Cooper Union and in Washington, where he spoke at Howard University, checked in with the director of his foundation, thanked its volunteers and visited the impressive human origins exhibit at the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History. During a tour with the exhibit's curator, Dawkins looked pained anytime he was compelled to chat, glancing furtively at the fossilized eye candy in every direction, including a wall of progressively modern skulls. At one point two young women approached. 'This is Richard Dawkins!' one told the other, wide-eyed. I suppose it's like bumping into Bono at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame."
PLAYBOY: What is the A pin you're wearing?
DAWKINS: It stands for "atheist."
PLAYBOY: Like a scarlet letter?
DAWKINS: It's not meant to reflect that. It's part of my foundation's Out Campaign. It means stand out and reach out, as well as come out for the beliefs you hold, and give the reasons. It's a bit analogous to gay people coming out.
PLAYBOY: Although atheists can marry one another.
DAWKINS: True.
PLAYBOY: Is there a better word for a nonbeliever than atheist? Darwin preferred agnostic. Some have suggested humanist, naturalist, nontheist.
DAWKINS: Darwin chose agnostic for tactical reasons. He said the common man was not ready for atheism. There's a lovely story the comedian Julia Sweeney tells about her own journey from devout Catholicism to atheism. After she'd finally decided she was an atheist, something appeared about it in the newspaper. Her mother phoned her in hysterics and said something like "I don't mind you not believing in God, but an atheist?" [laughs] The word bright was suggested by a California couple. I think it's rather a good word, though most of my atheist friends think it suggests religious people are dims. I say, "What's wrong with that?" [laughs]
PLAYBOY: You've described yourself as a "tooth fairy" agnostic. What is that?
DAWKINS: Rather than say he's an atheist, a friend of mine says, "I'm a tooth fairy agnostic," meaning he can't disprove God but thinks God is about as likely as the tooth fairy.

Tim Gabutero, raised in Seattle projects, became Pac-10 basketball official
Tim Gabutero of Seattle, a Pac-10 basketball official for more than a decade, died Sunday of liver and pancreatic cancer. He was 53.
Seattle Times staff reporter
Tim Gabutero knew well the stress of officiating Pac-10 basketball after working as a referee for more than a decade, so when he began having recurring stomach pain, he reached for antacids and the tough-guy attitude learned as a kid in the Seattle projects.
But just before Christmas last year, he was lacing up his sneakers in Hawaii to referee his 381st college basketball game when another official looked over at him. "Tim, you don't look so good," the official said.
By New Year's Day, Mr. Gabutero learned he was feeling more than just job stress. Diagnosis: liver and pancreatic cancer. Three to six months to live. He lasted the full six months before dying on Tuesday with his wife and young daughter by his side. He was 53.
When word of his death circulated in the clubby community of NCAA officials, his friends quickly began writing remembrances to give to Mr. Gabutero's 1 ½-year-old daughter, Jaclyn, so she would know how charming and determined her father was.
"He was a guy who would stand out in a crowd, the way he drew people to him," said Al Rossi, a former official who first met Mr. Gabutero in the mid-1970s.
Mr. Gabutero, the son of an immigrant father, grew up in the Rainier Vista housing project and starred in football, basketball and baseball at Franklin High School. He kept in touch with many people he met at Franklin, including Trent Johnson, the Louisiana State University basketball coach.
As a scrappy, undersized left-handed pitcher, Mr. Gabutero played baseball at Bellevue Community College — earning the most inspirational award in 1975 — and at Seattle University and briefly in the minor leagues.
Jim Gabutero said his brother was so competitive he would not mind enraging opposing fans by celebrating strikeouts from the pitcher's mound. "He would try to intimidate the team even as a pitcher," said Jim Gabutero, of Lynnwood. "He was something else."
Unable to make it as a player, Mr. Gabutero shifted to officiating.
"He was a cocky, confident, tough kid out of the projects," said Frank Bosone, a basketball official for 40 years who met Mr. Gabutero at BCC. "That determination and confidence served him well in officiating. That was his strength."
Mr. Gabutero moved to the San Francisco area while working for Nordstrom, then became a high-school physical-education coach, said lifelong friend Ron Omori, of Shoreline. He worked his way up to the Division I level in the mid-1990s, officiating Pac-10 and West Coast Conference games.
"He was a very confident official," said University of Washington basketball coach Lorenzo Romar. "You felt even if you didn't agree with his call, he believed in his heart it was the right call."
Omori, also an official, introduced Mr. Gabutero to overseas games. Together, they went to Germany, Italy and Croatia, where Mr. Gabutero was so taken by the Adriatic Sea that he gave his daughter the middle name of Adrianna.
After a divorce, Mr. Gabutero called up a friend of his extended family — a jewelry-store owner named Margaret — just before Christmas 2005. At the end of their first date, on Jan. 8, 2006, Mr. Gabutero proposed. Margaret and Tim Gabutero were married 12 days later in the Napa Valley, and soon moved back to Seattle.
"It was love at first sight," said Margaret Gabutero. "I loved the way he walked, I loved the way he talked, I loved the way he smelled."
A year to the day after that first date, Jaclyn, Mr. Gabutero's first child, was born. He was a stay-at-home dad for part of her infancy, and treated a stepson as his own, said Margaret Gabutero.
The cancer — a slow-growing type of tumor called islet cell — may have been growing in Mr. Gabutero for perhaps three years, she said. Because he was an avid golfer and excellent athlete, he did not view his stomach pain as a warning, she said.
After the diagnosis, Johnson, who was then Stanford University's coach, visited Mr. Gabutero during a Seattle road trip, bringing a basketball signed by the Stanford players. Mr. Gabutero quickly dropped to 80 pounds and could barely talk at his death. "That cancer just ate him up," said Omori, who talked with Mr. Gabutero on Sunday.
On his deathbed, Margaret Gabutero said, her husband was at peace. His last words, she said, were: "God has blessed me with a beautiful family."
A memorial service for Mr. Gabutero is planned for 11:30 a.m. July 26, at St. George Parish on Beacon Hill, 5117 13th Ave S. In addition to his brother, wife and daughter, Mr. Gabutero is survived by his mother, Evelyn Roiles of Colville, Stevens County; and sisters Phyllis Warren, of Evans, Stevens County, Sherry Stewart, of Ellensburg, Linda Hovanski of Hilo, Hawaii, and Judy Mariano of Daly City, Calif.

The trigger and the poison pill
Nice deal. As are the other elements of the Senate's bipartisan Gang of Eight plan - the expansion of H-1B visas for skilled immigrants, serious tracking of visa over-stayers and, most important, a universal E-Verify system that would make it very risky for any employer to hire an illegal immigrant.
But there's a rub. It's the perennial rub. Are Democrats serious about border enforcement? It's supposed to be the trigger that would allow illegal immigrants to start on the path to citizenship.
Why is a trigger necessary? To prevent a repeat of the 1986 fiasco where amnesty was granted and border enforcement never came - giving us today's 11 million living in the shadows. Yet just a week ago, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, referring to border enforcement, averred that "relying on one thing as a so-called trigger is not the way to go." Regarding legalization, "there needs to be certainty." But not for border security?
And she's the person in charge of securing that border. Now listen to President Obama: "Given the size of the border, it's never going to be 110 percent perfect. What we can do is to continue to improve it."
The usual Obama straw man. Who's asking for 110 percent enforcement? And the need is for something a lot more than just improvement. The objective is to reduce a river to a trickle. It's doable. The two sections with triple fencing outside San Diego have reduced infiltration by 92 percent.
To be sure, the Gang of Eight enforcement trigger is not ideal. The 11 million get near-instant legalization - on the day, perhaps six to nine months after the bill is signed, when Homeland Security submits a plan (with the required funding) to achieve within a decade 90 percent apprehension and 100 percent real-time surveillance.
This plan triggers "probationary" legalization, which in reality is permanent, because once the 11 million register, it is inconceivable their status would be revoked.
Let's be clear. A mere DHS enforcement plan is a very weak trigger.
I would prefer legalization to occur later, once the plan is actually carried out and some independent body certifies that the border is essentially closed.
But that simply will not happen. Democrats control the Senate and the White House, and they will only agree to a weaker trigger. Which is? Legalization first - i.e., living here openly without fear of deportation but nothing more until the border is controlled. Until then, no one even starts on the path to citizenship - no green card, no naturalization.
So why is Obama undermining even that compromise, asserting that "this earned pathway to citizenship" must not be "put off further and further," that it must be "certain" - not contingent on verifiable benchmarks of border closure?
Are he and Napolitano signaling to their hard-core open-border constituency that they will try to sabotage passage of any law that has a serious enforcement trigger, or that they will try to sabotage enforcement if a strict law is nonetheless enacted?
Why? Isn't border control an elementary principle of sovereignty? What country deliberately forfeits the right to decide who gets to join its communal life?
Remember: We're not talking about the 11 million already here who will be legalized as a matter of both practicality and compassion. We're talking about the next 11 million. Without border enforcement, they will be here. If you don't build it - the fence, the visa-tracker, E-Verify - they will come.
Why deliberately create the next immigration crisis? Is it because you coldly calculate that this wave and the next are destined to be partisans of your political party? Talk about placing party over country.
Or perhaps Obama intends this to be a poison pill: (1) Demonstrate unmistakable bad faith on enforcement. (2) Undermine the Gang of Eight's already weak border-control "trigger." (3) And thus force Republicans to defeat this "immigration reform" - as newly defined and newly defanged of enforcement.
Obama seems to want an issue, not a solution - a potent political issue for Democrats to demagogue in 2014 and 2016 and forever. If so, given the Democrats' incessant and lachrymose expressions of compassion for those living in the shadows, this would be the ultimate in cynicism.

"L.A. Road Trip Circa 1969" by SeverGraffiti // Sunday, February 02, 2014
Sever has cleverly depicted a fictionalized scene where the iconic graffiti writer from the Bronx, Stay High 149 (in the yellow sweater) and his crew examine the work of the L.A. innovator "Chaz", the Godfather of Chicano graffiti. As Sever says of this piece, "Homage is offered to these legendary writers, to the early era of graffiti's spectacular rise, and to the processes they developed and were allied with.

Flying First, Flying High
December 17, 2014
Here in Vermont it's a drizzly, cold, cloud-covered day. However, 111 years ago in Kitty Hawke, North Carolina, the sun was shining and the wind was blowing steadily from the north. Perfect conditions for flying.
The first airplane soared for 12 seconds over 120 feet (about 37 meters) of sandy ground just outside Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, on December 17, 1903. This is a famous photograph of the moment the airplane lifts into the air with Orville Wright at the controls and Wilbur Wright running alongside.
Nowadays, we don't think too much about hopping a plane to a distant city. Air travel is statistically safer than car travel, and it's much faster. A trip that took a week by train a hundred years ago now takes only hours. And while we might complain about long security lines, the cost of a package of peanuts, and the inconvenience of checking baggage, it's still far easier that strapping your steamer trunk to the back of a buggy and wrapping up in wool blankets for a long, uncomfortable trip to Grandma's house for the holidays.
If the airplane had never been invented, would our world be as connected as it is via communication satellites? Perhaps not. Innovators first visualize a concept and then try to achieve that vision through engineering and technology. Could anyone have visualized the extent of our world before we could fly around it? If the airplane hadn't come first, would we have ever invented spaceships? What might we have invented instead? And what are the Wright brothers of today busy inventing that will show us an entirely new part of the world that we never expected to see?
Thanks to the Wright brothers, people can travel to see the people they love, even if they're on the other side of the earth. The Wrights took the physics of lift, thrust, and drag and used them to make a flying machine that revolutionized the way people perceived the world and our place in it.
This holiday season, if you're one of the 5.4 million travelers expected to fly, take a moment to appreciate the Wright brothers for making your journey possible.
You can read Orville Wright's diary entry for December 17, 1903 here. Did you learn anything surprising?

Earth to 67P
November 13, 2014
It's not every day you get a tweet from a comet, but on November 12, that's exactly what came from Comet 67P, located about 310 million miles from Earth. "Touchdown! My new address: 67P!"
Photo credit: ESA
The Rosetta Mission took a giant step forward on Wednesday when the Philae lander settled, or perhaps bounced, onto the surface of a comet far, far away. This is the first time scientists have managed to land a space probe on a comet. European Space Agency scientists and executives traded high fives and hugs, and even the news that there may have been a landing glitch did little to subdue their celebration.
Because gravity is very weak on Comet 67P, Philae was equipped with anchors that were supposed to bolt the lander to the surface of the comet. But those harpoons failed to fire, so the spacecraft isn't secure.
Despite this, the Rosetta mission is a success.
Scientists hope to find answers about the evolution of our solar system through experiments done by Philae, including testing the surface of the comet, measuring the magnetic field and interaction between the comet and solar wind, and even gathering deeper samples of the comet for testing.
Rosetta traveled 6.4 billion miles over ten years to come to this point. The Philae lander weighs about 220 pounds and is about the size of a washing machine. The comet is about 2 ½ miles in diameter. Getting a spacecraft onto a piece of rock that small, so far away is a huge accomplishment! One scientist described it as hitting a golf ball all the way onto the moon.
The name of the spaceship may sound familiar. The Rosetta Stone was a piece of rock found in Egypt in 1799 that had three different languages on it—two forms of Egyptian and Greek. Historians were able to finally decipher ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics, and as a result, they discovered the culture of Ancient Egypt, which had been previously wrapped in mystery.
Will the Rosetta Mission provide the same insight into our current astronomical mystery? Will we learn how our solar system formed, how life on Earth began? This is a very exciting first step on the long road of space exploration.
Quieter Than a Sonic Boom
October 27, 2014
If you weren't listening very closely to the news these past few days, you might have missed it. Remember Felix Baumgartner and his historic jump from approximately 24 miles in space? Someone beat his record.
photo credit: Rico Shen
I know, this doesn't look like a guy who would voluntarily skydive to Earth from 25 miles in space, but looks are almost always deceiving.
Alan Eustace, a Google executive who has the best professional title ever (Senior Vice President of Knowledge) detached himself from a helium balloon 25 miles above New Mexico and fell back to the planet's surface, reaching speeds of 1,300km/hour and breaking the sound barrier, which people on the ground could hear even though for him it was quiet.
What's almost more impressive than his fall down to Earth is his trip up into space, which did not take place in any kind of capsule or space ship. Instead, he dangled at the end of a long tether attached at the other end to a helium balloon that carried him until he freed himself and began his descent. All that separated him from the enormity of space was his specially designed space suit, which Paragon Space Development Corp spent three years getting right. Oh, and by the way, to keep his face mask from fogging up and blocking some pretty amazing views, he had to stay almost completely still and respond to radio queries with the tiniest of leg movements.
So why was there so much publicity surrounding Baumgartner's jump and so little surrounding Eustace's? These were two very different events. Baumgartner is a known daredevil (nicknamed Fearless Felix) with several world records to his name. Eustace is a 57-year-old computer scientist. Baumgartner's event was sponsored by corporate giant Red Bull. Eustace refused to accept sponsorship money from companies, including the one he works for, Google. He and the engineers at Paragon Space Development Corp wanted to focus on the science and engineering behind the event, and they worried that sponsorships would make this more of a publicity stunt than an experiment.
While the two jumps stand far from each other on publicity scale, they share at least one important feature. They cause kids all over the world to look up. What would it be like to float that far into space? What would it feel like to jump? What would it feel like to fall? What would it feel like to land?
Keep looking up, kids. There's always another record to beat, boundary to push, goal to achieve.

Kourtney Kardashian Style: Pregnant Star Dons 'Interesting' Frock On Mother's Day (PHOTOS)
Kourtney Kardashian is one sartorially smart pregnant woman.
She's rocked leather pants and a bright bikini. So suffice it to say, she's definitely someone who isn't letting cankles hinder her enjoyment of fashion.
But a look she wore on the weekend has us wondering what she was thinking.
While enjoying Mother's Day festivities with her family, Kourtney wore a bold black and white maxi dress (the 'Diana Gown' by RAOUL) paired with oversized sunglasses and a sexy bun (similar to the one we saw Kate Middleton wearing at a gala last week).
And while we've loved everything she's donned up until this point, we're not quite sure about this look.
What do you think of it? Is it fashionably fabulous or a major faux pas?
Take a look at Kourtney's life in outfits -- with captions written by the star herself.
"I must have been 2 years old. Here with my cousin Cici. Such a girly girl, princess dress."
"I think I was 7 years old here. My mom always dressed me, Kim and Khloe alike, but each of our outfits had their own twist. Love the Christmas lights dangling on Khloe...they add so much to her outfit."
"Probably my sexiest outfit to date. This is me in 7th grade being silly with friends."
"My sisters and I lived for dressing up in my mom's clothes and costumes. A little fun with the sisters striking a pose."
"I was taking fashion design where we learned to sew our own clothes and then modeled them in a fashion show at the end of the year. Here I am in a top and pants I made. I was very proud and made clothes for myself and my friends all the time!"
"Graduating from high school! I went to an all-girls high school and we all had to wear the same white gown for graduation day. I still have it!"
"Dolce & Gabbana for my 20th birthday! I love that the dress matches the balloons. This was in Dallas where I was enrolled in college at SMU. My sisters and mom surprised me by flying into town and throwing me a surprise party!"
"The bangs! Home for Christmas Eve at 21. My whole family wore ball gown skirts in different colors...how festive."
"Vintage Jean Paul Gaultier for my 30th birthday in Mexico with Scott! Some feather earrings, too -- and major tans."
"Wearing Vicki Tiel for our family Christmas card. Love the all red."

People are around today who dont have families and cousins anymore who were there.
Maybe they disappeared themselves.

text: Okay, there's a thread about the Pats saying "Well, we're 9-4." Reminds me of the Coors Light ad with Walsh saying "Well 12 and 4 is pretty good." Look people, there is a point here. The Pats are at this point close to a lock to win the division. And this is one of those down years where we "just" win the division. Point is -- we're spoiled. DUH! Now to the other point... yeah we want to be Super Bowl contenders. No, we're not out of it. Far from it. But the play is inconsistent, no argument. The Miami loss was our low point so far. And now, we're banged up (again.) So what's it look like, to be realistic, today? It looks like a 2-and-done playoffs, maybe 1-and-done. Yeah, from a guy that thinks Super Bowl every year (me), I have to say "yuck." But from the point of view of the 75% of fans that watch their teams not win a division? Pretty nice. News flash: the Niners didn't win every super bowl in the '80s, or the Cowboys in the 90s, or the Steelers in the 70s. I still want to win this one. But come on guys. This "My GOD!!!! What are they THINKING????" stuff makes very little sense. Other teams prepare (see the dolphins studies of our audibles, etc.,) other teams practice, and other teams have NFL-level talent. By the way that includes Houston, Jax, and Tennessee... so don't think it's over yet. I will not be shocked if Indy loses this week, or Chicago, or San Diego. I wasn't shocked when Dallas (the hot NFC team) lost last week. LOSSES HAPPEN, even in Super Bowl years. I was in the Patsfans.com bulletin board for a while at the end of last week's game and had to leave in disgust. There's this guy in there saying "we got OWNED! No way we win another game! Did you even SEE that?!??!" What kind of piss-ant fans are we? I can not believe the same people that watched and prayed for playoff berths in the 70s and sometimes the 80s and 90s, and suffered through the 2-14 years hoping for that last play that turns something around, can come out with this drivel. We're still in it people, and nobody in the league this year is so en fuego I can not imagine beating them (Lord willin an the crick dont rise.) Okay, soap boxing over. Back to who to fire, why the record's this bad, how we'll never beat Team X, and so on and so on and so on. PFnV
