Description This patent application claims priority to U.S. provisional patent application 60/865,629 filed Nov. 13, 2006, the entire disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference. This patent application is related to U.S. patent application Ser. No. ______, filed this same day, entitled �Method and System for High Performance Integration, Processing and Searching of Structured and Unstructured Data Using Coprocessors� (identified as Thompson Coburn Attorney Docket Number 44826-72530), the entire disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference. The present invention is generally directed toward the field of metadata generation and data indexing, particularly the indexing of high speed data streams. The following paragraphs provide several definitions for various terms used herein. These paragraphs also provide background information relating to these terms. GPP: As used herein, the term �general-purpose processor� (or GPP) refers to a hardware device having a fixed form and whose functionality is variable, wherein this variable functionality is defined by fetching instructions and executing those instructions (for example, an Intel Xeon processor or an AMD Opteron processor), of which a conventional central processing unit (CPU) is a common example.
Coprocessor: As used herein, the term �coprocessor� refers to a computational engine designed to operate in conjunction with other components in a computational system having a main processor (wherein the main processor itself may comprise multiple processors such as in a multi-core processor architecture). Typically, a coprocessor is optimized to perform a specific set of tasks and is used to offload tasks from a main processor (which is typically a GPP) in order to optimize system performance. The scope of tasks performed by a coprocessor may be fixed or variable, depending on the architecture of coprocessor. Examples of fixed coprocessor architectures include Graphics Processor Units which perform a broad spectrum of tasks and floating point numeric coprocessors which perform a relatively narrow set of tasks. Examples of reconfigurable coprocessor architectures include reconfigurable logic devices such as Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) which may be reconfigured to implement a wide variety of fixed or programmable computational engines. The functionality of a coprocessor may be defined via software and/or firmware.
Database: As used herein, the term �database� refers to a persistent data store with indexing capabilities to expedite query processing. Various database management system (DBMS) implementations might be categorized as relational (RDBMS), object-oriented (OODBMS), hierarchical, etc.; however, the dominant architecture in today's industry is a relational, row-column, structured query language (SQL)-capable database. An ANSI-standard SQL database engine is a mature software architecture that can retrieve structured data in response to a query, usually in an efficient manner.
There are a number of reasons why XML is will not normally be categorized as �structured� as that term is used herein:
Enterprises such as corporations, institutions, agencies, and other entities have massive amounts of data that they need to manage. While some of an enterprise's critical data are normalized, structured, and stored in relational databases, most enterprises' data (generally thought to be around 80% of enterprise data) is unstructured. With conventional computing systems, effective management and efficient access to such unstructured data is problematic. Indexing is a well-known technique that is used to increase the efficiency by which data can be searched. An index is a list of terms and pointers associated with a collection of data. An example of such an index 100 is shown in However, the inventors note their belief that conventional indexing techniques require a tremendous amount of time to generate an effective index. Even relatively small data sets can take days to effectively index with conventional indexing techniques deployed in software on central processors such as GPPs because of indexing's computationally-intensive nature. Because of the sheer volume of data that enterprises encounter on a daily basis, it is simply not practical for enterprises to index all of the data in its possession (and to which it has access) using these conventional indexing techniques. Instead, enterprises are forced to make a priori decisions as to which data will be subjected to indexing; this is particularly true for unstructured data which comprises the bulk of most enterprises' data. In doing so, enterprises are left without an effective means for efficiently managing and searching much of its data. In an effort to address this need in the art, the inventors herein disclose a technique for hardware-accelerating the generation of metadata for data. This data may comprise both structured and/or unstructured data. From this metadata, rich indexes can be generated to enable robust and high performance data searching and analysis. With embodiments of the present invention, data is streamed into a coprocessor, and metadata for the indexes is generated at bus bandwidth rates, thereby leading to dramatic improvements in indexing latency. Because of such improvements in latency, much larger amounts (if not all) of an enterprise's data can be efficiently and effectively indexed. In doing so, the present invention preferably harnesses the underlying hardware-accelerated technology disclosed in the following patents and patent applications: U.S. Pat. No. 6,711,558 entitled �Associated Database Scanning and Information Retrieval�, U.S. Pat. No. 7,139,743 entitled �Associative Database Scanning and Information Retrieval using FPGA Devices�, U.S. Patent Application Publication 2006/0294059 entitled �Intelligent Data Storage and Processing Using FPGA Devices�, U.S. Patent Application Publication 2007/0067108 entitled �Method and Apparatus for Performing Biosequence Similarity Searching�, U.S. Patent Application Publication ______ entitled �Method and Apparatus for Protein Sequence Alignment Using FPGA Devices� (published from U.S. application Ser. No. 11/836,947, filed Aug. 10, 2007), U.S. Patent Application Publication 2007/0130140 entitled �Method and Device for High Performance Regular Expression Pattern Matching�, U.S. Patent Application Publication ______ entitled �Method and Apparatus for Approximate Pattern Matching� (published from U.S. application Ser. No. 11/381,214, filed May 2, 2006), U.S. Patent Application Publication 2007/0174841 entitled �Firmware Socket Module for FPGA-Based Pipeline Processing�, and U.S. Patent Application Publication 2007/0237327 entitled �Method and System for High Throughput Blockwise Independent Encryption/Decryption�), the entire disclosures of each of which are incorporated herein by reference. As documents are streamed into a coprocessor, any of a number of metadata generation operations can be flexibly performed on the document stream. For example, exact matching and approximate matching operations can be performed on the words within a document stream to find which words within the document stream are �hits� against the words in any of a number of dictionaries. From these �hits�, rich indexes can quickly be generated. For ease of reference, the term �documents� will be often be used to describe the unstructured data that is indexed in accordance with various embodiments of the present invention. However, it should be noted that the use of the term �documents� is meant to be only exemplary as other forms unstructured data can also be indexed using the techniques described herein. Also, the term �words� is used to describe bits within a data stream that are grouped together for the purposes of metadata generation operations. Words preferably correspond to the bytes that form discrete character strings, wherein the characters may be any combination of letters, numbers, or other characters. In accordance with an extremely powerful aspect of an embodiment of the invention, the coprocessor can perform regular expression pattern matching on a received document stream to detect whether any of a plurality of pre-defined patterns exist within the document stream. Examples of patterns that can detected using regular expression pattern matching include social security numbers, credit card numbers, telephone numbers, email address, etc. By developing indexes based on these patterns, an enterprise can effectively answer an indefinite pattern-based question such as �How many of our documents contain a credit card number?� without having to re-analyze all of the enterprise's documents. Instead, the generated index pertaining to the credit card pattern can be accessed to lookup all documents that have been identified as containing a credit card number. Furthermore, classification and clustering operations can be performed on documents using a coprocessor to further analyze and index those documents. The high performance stream indexing that is enabled by the present invention has a myriad of useful applications. For example, the email traffic within and/or incoming to an enterprise can be efficiently indexed �on the fly� before or as that email traffic reaches its addressees. Similarly, the web traffic (e.g., the web pages downloaded by user computers within an enterprise) can also be indexed �on the fly� using various embodiments of the present invention. Web search engines could employ the embodiments of the present invention to stream web page content through an appliance configured to perform the metadata generation and index generation techniques described herein. The web search engine can then apply search queries against the generated index(es) when formulating responses to those search queries. It is expected that the present invention can be employed to dramatically reduce the lag time that it takes for new web pages to become �findable� through Internet search engines. Also, the embodiments of the present invention can be employed to operate on data being saved to a disk by any computers within an enterprise. Another application pertains to analyzing and indexing data streams such as incoming sales transactions, incoming news wire information, and log files. Yet another application pertains to retroactively indexing existing enterprise data, including indexing previously-unindexed enterprise data and re-indexing previously-indexed enterprise data. These and other features and advantages of the present invention will be apparent to those having ordinary skill in the art upon review of the following description and drawings. Preferably, appliance 200 employs a hardware-accelerated data processing capability through coprocessor 450 to generate the desired metadata. Within appliance 200, a coprocessor 450 is positioned to receive data that streams into the appliance 200 from a network 420 (via network interface 410). Network 420 preferably comprises an enterprise network (whether LAN or WAN), in which various disparate data sources are located. Such incoming data may comprise both structured and unstructured data as appliance 200 can provide beneficial metadata generation operations for both data types. The computer system defined by processor 412 and RAM 408 can be any commodity computer system as would be understood by those having ordinary skill in the art. For example, the computer system may be an Intel Xeon system or an AMD Opteron system. Thus, processor 412, which serves as the central or main processor for appliance 200, preferably comprises a GPP. In a preferred embodiment, the coprocessor 450 comprises a reconfigurable logic device 402. Preferably, data streams into the reconfigurable logic device 402 by way of system bus 406, although other design architectures are possible (see The reconfigurable logic device 402 has firmware modules deployed thereon that define its functionality. The firmware socket module 404 handles the data movement requirements (both command data and target data) into and out of the reconfigurable logic device, thereby providing a consistent application interface to the firmware application module (FAM) chain 350 that is also deployed on the reconfigurable logic device. The FAMs 350 i of the FAM chain 350 are configured to perform specified data processing operations on any data that streams through the chain 350 from the firmware socket module 404. Preferred examples of FAMs that can be deployed on reconfigurable logic in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention are described below. The specific data processing operation that is performed by a FAM is controlled/parameterized by the command data that FAM receives from the firmware socket module 404. This command data can be FAM-specific, and upon receipt of the command, the FAM will arrange itself to carry out the data processing operation controlled by the received command. For example, within a FAM that is configured to perform an exact match operation, the FAM's exact match operation can be parameterized to define the key(s) that the exact match operation will be run against. In this way, a FAM that is configured to perform an exact match operation can be readily re-arranged to perform a different exact match operation by simply loading new parameters for one or more different keys in that FAM. Once a FAM has been arranged to perform the data processing operation specified by a received command, that FAM is ready to carry out its specified data processing operation on the data stream that it receives from the firmware socket module. Thus, a FAM can be arranged through an appropriate command to process a specified stream of data in a specified manner. Once the FAM has completed its data processing operation, another command can be sent to that FAM that will cause the FAM to re-arrange itself to alter the nature of the data processing operation performed thereby. Not only will the FAM operate at hardware speeds (thereby providing a high throughput of data through the FAM), but the FAMs can also be flexibly reprogrammed to change the parameters of their data processing operations. The FAM chain 350 preferably comprises a plurality of firmware application modules (FAMs) 350 a, 350 b, . . . that are arranged in a pipelined sequence. However, it should be noted that within the firmware pipeline, one or more parallel paths of FAMs 350 i can be employed. For example, the firmware chain may comprise three FAMs arranged in a first pipelined path (e.g., FAMs 350 a, 350 b, 350 c) and four FAMs arranged in a second pipelined path (e.g., FAMs 350 d, 350 e, 350 f, and 350 g), wherein the first and second pipelined paths are parallel with each other. Furthermore, the firmware pipeline can have one or more paths branch off from an existing pipeline path. A practitioner of the present invention can design an appropriate arrangement of FAMs for FAM chain 350 based on the processing needs of a given application. A communication path 430 connects the firmware socket module 404 with the input of the first one of the pipelined FAMs 350 a. The input of the first FAM 350 a serves as the entry point into the FAM chain 350. A communication path 432 connects the output of the final one of the pipelined FAMs 350 m with the firmware socket module 404. The output of the final FAM 350 m serves as the exit point from the FAM chain 350. Both communication path 430 and communication path 432 are preferably multi-bit paths. The nature of the software and hardware/software interfaces used by appliance 200, particularly in connection with data flow into and out of the firmware socket module are described in greater detail in the above-referenced and incorporated U.S. Patent Application Publication 2007/0174841. It is worth noting that in either the configuration of Returning to It should be noted that the memory used to store the index 100 as words stream through the pre-processing module 602 can be located in any of a number of places. For example, this memory can be located in the available on-chip memory of the FPGA 402. This memory could also be memory device 702 shown in It should be noted that each of the modules shown in Any of a number of exact matching techniques can be used to perform the exact matching operation. For example, the hardware-accelerated matching techniques disclosed in the above-referenced and incorporated U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,711,558 and 7,139,743 and U.S. Patent Application Publications 2006/0294059, 2007/0130140, and U.S. Patent Application Publication ______ entitled �Method and Apparatus for Approximate Pattern Matching� (published from U.S. application Ser. No. 11/381,214, filed May 2, 2006). Any collection of words can be used as dictionary 802. Examples of dictionaries 802 that can be used include large word collections such as full English language dictionaries, full foreign language dictionaries, scientific/technical dictionaries, etc. Smaller word collections can also be used. It should also be noted that a plurality of exact matching/approximate matching modules 800/810 can be deployed in parallel to distribute the workload of matching streaming words to the word keys 804 across multiple matching modules 800/810. However, if desired, a single serial pipelined sequence of compare registers can be used by an matching module 800/810 to sequentially compare the streaming words with word keys 804 if desired. It should be noted that, like the memory used to store general index 100, the memory used to store the specialized indexes 860 can be located in any of a number of places (e.g., the on-chip memory of the FPGA 402, memory device 702, etc.). A powerful aspect of various embodiments of the present invention is the ability to concurrently generate multiple specialized indexes. An example of this is shown in The general index 100 in such an embodiment can be updated when words streaming through the exact matching module do not find a match in any of the dictionaries 802. Furthermore, the entries in the other specialized indexes can be merged into the general index if desired to thereby make general index 100 applicable to all of the words within document stream 600. This merger can be performed offline or concurrently with the updating of the other indexes. Otherwise, the coprocessor 450 can be configured to update the general index 100 as words stream out of the stream pre-processing module 602 and update the specialized indexes as words stream out of the exact/approximate matching module 800/810. Another powerful aspect of various embodiments of the present invention is the ability to perform regular expression pattern matching on incoming words. An example of this is shown in As shown in An example of a hardware-accelerated regular expression matching technique suitable for use as regular expression matching module 910 is disclosed in the above-referenced and incorporated U.S. Patent Application Publication 2007/0130140. Also, as noted above in connection with the matching modules 800/810, various combinations of sequential and parallel regular expression matching modules 910 can be employed within coprocessor 450 to distribute the pattern matching workload across multiple resources. The power of such pattern indexes shown by It should be noted that coprocessor 450 is preferably configured to change the dictionaries and/or patterns used by the matching modules 800/810/910. Preferably, such changes are made in response to user commands received as command data by the firmware socket module 404. These changes may comprise adding/removing dictionaries/patterns and/or adding/removing words to/from the various dictionaries. It should also be noted that the coprocessor 450 can deploy these modules 800/810 and 910 in a sequential, parallel, or hybrid sequential-parallel arrangement as desired. After the operational indexes have been updated, the newly indexed data can then be accessed via standardized queries such as SQL commands that are applied to the operational indexes stored by SQL databases. The above-referenced and incorporated U.S. patent application Ser. No. ______, filed this same day, entitled �Method and System for High Performance Integration, Processing and Searching of Structured and Unstructured Data Using Coprocessors� (identified as Thompson Coburn Attorney Docket Number 44826-72530) discloses a particularly efficient query handling technique for queries directed toward unstructured data for which an RDBMS maintains a metadata index. Another metadata generation operation that can be performed by the stream pre-processing module 602 is a word counting operation 1150, as shown in Through a word counting module 1150, word lists for documents and document collections are generated as the words stream therethrough. Associated with each word on the list will be a count value that is incremented each time the associated word is encountered in the stream. Another metadata generation operation 604 that can be performed by coprocessor 450 is a classification operation 1100. An exemplary pipeline for such actions is shown in The different classes can pertain to classifications such as �news�, �sports�, �legal�, �medicine�, etc. The words within each class can be words that are generally expected to be found in a document that pertains to the subject defined by the class. For example, the word �baseball� may be present in the word list for a �sports� classification, and the word �estop� may be present in the word list for a �legal� classification. Another exemplary document classification can be language classification. In such an application, each class shown in Furthermore, it should be noted that one or more regular expression matching modules 910 can be advantageously employed in connection with classification operation 1100 (possibly in combination with one or more matching modules 800/810). For example, if a document is found to contain a credit card number, then an inference could possibly be drawn that the document should be classified as a �sales record�, �personal record�, or the like. Regular expression matching can also be useful to generate counts of how many words have particular character lengths. For example, the regular expression �xxxx� where x can be any character can be used to update a count of 4 letter words, while the regular expression �xxxxx� can be used to update a count of 5 letter words, and so on. Such word length counts can be useful for assessing classifications such as �comprehension level� discussed above. The classification module 1100 may be used to enrich the word stream emanating from the module 1100 by adding bit strings for each document to the stream, wherein each bit string tags each document as belonging to a particular class. For example, if the classification module is configured to determine which of 20 classifications a document belongs to, a 20 bit string can be added to the output stream for each document, wherein each bit is associated with a particular classification and flags whether the document belongs to that classification. As such, bit X in this bit string can be set aside to flag whether the document contains a credit card number. Thus, if a regular expression matching module 910 detects the presence of a credit card number pattern within a document, the bit string for that document can be updated to set bit X to high. Similarly, bit Y in the bit string can be set aside to flag whether the document is a legal document. If the classification operation results in a determination that the document should be considered a legal document, then bit Y can be set to high. It should also be noted that classification operation 1100 can be considered as also belonging to the specialized index generation category of metadata generation operations because the classification information produced by classification operation 1100 can also be used to generate specialized indexes of documents by class. Such indexes can serve as powerful searching aids in that they can be used to answer questions such as �How many Spanish language documents are within the enterprise?� and conduct research such as �What relationships exist between sports and medicine?� and �Find all legal documents in which John Smith is mentioned�. Also, it should be noted that the classification operation can be performed in software (e.g., software executed by processor 412) using the general and specialized indexes generated from embodiments such as those shown in With reference to Should the stream pre-processing module 602 already employ word counting, then the histogram generation stage 1300 can be omitted, as shown in It should be noted that the clustering operations shown by Should the coprocessor employ a reconfigurable logic device 402 with firmware 350 deployed thereon, FAMs resident in firmware pipeline 350 will be arranged to perform a document metadata generation operation on the documents it receives. Examples of these metadata generation operations are described above. The document metadata 1650 that is produced by the operation of firmware 350 can then be stored in RDBMS 304, wherein the RDBMS engine operates to generate and maintain an index of this document metadata that can later be queried using standardized database queries to identify which documents within data store 306 should be processed through the coprocessor 450 at hardware speeds during query processing. After the received document 600 has been processed by firmware 350, document 600 can then be ingested into the appliance by storing it in the data store 306 of unstructured data. The acts of metadata generation and document ingestion preferably operate virtually concurrently in near-real time. It should be noted that the document metadata 1650 can optionally be stored in a structured database external to the appliance 200. In this manner, appliance 200 can now use the document metadata 1650 indexed by RDBMS 304 to aid decisions as to which documents should be subjected to a query-specified data processing operation (e.g., a full-text searching operation) via coprocessor 450. Furthermore, because standardized RDBMS technology has been leveraged within appliance 200, standardized database queries that are well-known to a number of users can be used to decide which documents are to be subjected to the coprocessor-based data processing operation when processing a given query. This type of query processing is disclosed in the above-referenced and incorporated U.S. patent application Ser. No. ______, filed this same day, entitled �Method and System for High Performance Integration, Processing and Searching of Structured and Unstructured Data Using Coprocessors� (identified as Thompson Coburn Attorney Docket Number 44826-72530). While in the preferred embodiment disclosed herein the coprocessor 450 comprises a reconfigurable logic device 402 such as an FPGA, it should be noted that the coprocessor 450 can be realized using other processing devices.

Has The South End Of New Bedford Gone Downhill?
I grew up in the South End of New Bedford. My aunt and uncle were proud owners of a three family home very close to the hurricane dike. My grandmother lived on the third floor, my aunt and uncle lived on the 2nd floor with my great grandmother and friend of theirs lived on the first floor.

If you've never seen this, you are in for a good read... The last time I "hung up my gun" (gave up my CCW, a personal permit, and I gave it up because the Sheriff had restricted it to use while I held a particular job) was in 1981 about in about April... Back then, you had to show a reason for needing a personal permit.
Anyway, this "Angry Letter" came out in Esquire magazine in September of '81... I used to have a copy of the mag, but it was destroyed in a house fire some years back... And, at the time it came out, I shared it with all my new co-workers in my new job... IMO, this letter answers all the questions antis ask about why anyone would need a gun...
This is the only link I have ever found to the letter, I have it saved as a "favorite" and have a copy on my pc... I won't lose it again.
and, if it's a repeat, that's okay, I hope... otherwise... move it or discard it (mods).

history and behavior.
These data files can easily reveal numerous amounts of
private information such as files that you may have
downloaded, video clips that you might have watched,
websites that you have previously visited and almost all
pictures you have viewed on the web. Anyone with a
little advanced computer knowledge can easily turn these
sensitive data files into human understandable
information, thus compromising your personal privacy.
But do not panic! If you have Platinum Guard installed
on your computer, you do not need to worry any longer.
With just a simple click of a button, this software
product will automatically take care of covering up any
of your browsing history and behavior, allowing you to
use your personal computer peacefully again knowing that
your privacy is now secure.

Guard was designed with utmost care in order to ensure
that it is completely safe and secure to use. It has
been developed with multiple levels of validation and
routine checks to ensure that it cannot delete any
useful information or documents that you or your
computer might still be needing.

Thanks for the warning & thanks for the prior review link Ashraf! I had already forgotten about that bad boy Platinum Guard.
Besides the trumped up &/or false high ratings they claimed, here are the 2 key points (IMHO) from that review to consider for anyone even THINKING about d/l this cr*p:
1."System Restore Files" is checked by default….unless you uncheck it, all your restore points will be deleted….it is only good to delete restore points when a user is aware of the fact that they are deleting restore points and they won't be available for use in the future. Checking "System Restore Files" by default can lead to "oh sh!t" [I added this] moments later on when a user realizes he/she no longer has restore points to use because they were deleted by Platinum Guard."
2. "….When using [Platinum Guard], you can only clean – you won't be able to scan and see what is going to be deleted before you clean….once you hit "Start Smart Cleaning Process"…there is no way to know exactly what is being deleted (the actual files)."

Also, one of the best alternatives is CCleaner; its always free, free updates, & highly regarded on many forums & by tech savvy geeks & nerds everywhere!

The Games were dubbed the first "social media" Olympics since social networking has really grown since the Games in Beijing. Not only that, but mobile technology has seen significant popularity with the rise of smartphones and tablets in the last four years.
Twitter has been both a news source and a source of controversy, as well as being the platform of choice for many to air their criticisms of both athletic performances and the event's ceremonies. Let's take a look at the role Twitter has played in the event. (more…)

Last May we introduced you to lovable 11 year old Greg who had been living in foster care.
"I do well in school to make my grandma proud," he said.
He wanted more than anything to be part of a forever family and now his dream is becoming a reality.
"He's very excited to be matched with or placed with a mother and to have a mom in his family," said WVDHHR Region 1 Adoption Specialist Andrea Salatino.
Through pre-placement visits, the family and Greg have discovered they have a lot in common.
"They've really connected with one another," Salatino said.
Now Greg is beginning the next phase of the adoption process.
He will live with the family but the state will stay in close contact to make sure it's a successful transition for Greg and the family.
Salatino said "Once a child is placed with a family there is a six month adoption period where they need to be with the family before everything is finalized."
Salatino said the Wednesday's Child segment has been a bonus to the process.
"She saw it on the web site. We referred her to the web site and so that she could see Greg in action- talking, eating and playing - and really enjoyed watching him and I think she even saw that before she met him so it really brought him to life, to be able to see him in addition to everything that she had read about him."
Now this boy is one step closer to being part of a family's team.
For more information on adopting children in foster care got to adoptawvchild.org or call 1-866-CALL-MWV.

Alcatel-Lucent (ALU) to Report Thursday: What to Expect
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Alcatel-Lucent (ALU - Get Report) is due to report fourth-quarter and full-year earnings before the bell Thursday. Analysts expect the French telecommunications company to return to profitability for the first time since its fourth quarter in 2011.
Analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters anticipate net income of US$71.83 million from a net loss of $254.46 million in the September-ended third quarter. Consensus is for per-share earnings of 3 cents, compared to an 11-cents-a-share loss a quarter ago and 70-cents-a-share loss in the year-ago quarter. Revenue is expected to increase 4.4% to $5.64 billion.
Over fiscal 2013, analysts expect a per-share net loss of 55 cents and revenue of $20.18 billion.
The struggling company announced its SHIFT plan in June last year, a strategic push to strengthen its specialty in IP networking and ultra-broadband access, while reducing costs by Euro 1 billion within two years.
CEO Michel Combes has been making aggressive moves to turn the company around. By the end of 2015, the phone equipment maker will have cut 10,000 jobs, reducing fixed costs by more than 15%. TheStreet Ratings team rates ALCATEL-LUCENT as a Sell with a ratings score of D. The team has this to say about their recommendation: "We rate ALCATEL-LUCENT (ALU) a SELL. This is driven by multiple weaknesses, which we believe should have a greater impact than any strengths, and could make it more difficult for investors to achieve positive results compared to most of the stocks we cover. The company's weaknesses can be seen in multiple areas, such as its generally high debt management risk and disappointing return on equity." Highlights from the analysis by TheStreet Ratings Team goes as follows:- The debt-to-equity ratio is very high at 3.98 and currently higher than the industry average, implying increased risk associated with the management of debt levels within the company. Along with the unfavorable debt-to-equity ratio, ALU maintains a poor quick ratio of 0.92, which illustrates the inability to avoid short-term cash problems.
- Return on equity has greatly decreased when compared to its ROE from the same quarter one year prior. This is a signal of major weakness within the corporation. Compared to other companies in the Communications Equipment industry and the overall market, ALCATEL-LUCENT's return on equity significantly trails that of both the industry average and the S&P 500.
- ALCATEL-LUCENT has improved earnings per share by 31.6% in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. This company has reported somewhat volatile earnings recently. But, we feel it is poised for EPS growth in the coming year. During the past fiscal year, ALCATEL-LUCENT swung to a loss, reporting -$1.45 versus $0.37 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings (-$0.72 versus -$1.45).
- 36.96% is the gross profit margin for ALCATEL-LUCENT which we consider to be strong. It has increased from the same quarter the previous year. Regardless of the strong results of the gross profit margin, the net profit margin of -6.30% is in-line with the industry average.
- Net operating cash flow has increased to -$150.95 million or 48.56% when compared to the same quarter last year. The firm also exceeded the industry average cash flow growth rate of 30.05%.

The road to hell is paved with good intentions. We need more than good intentions to overcome the destruction we have unleased on our ecosystem. We need a leader to challenge we the people to tackle and overcome this challenge – and we need it now – not at some abstract point in the future that enables society to continue to poision its own environment in it's never ending gluttony of resources. Ten or twenty years from now is not good enough to attempt to slow down global warming – we need it now. This lying administration – and those who support them, are guilty of the highest crimes against humanity. What stupid creatures that destroy their own environment – maybe they deserve extinction.
If you tell the truth you don't have to remember anything.

Caper Berries
By Susan Westmoreland
Special Offers
I've seen tiny capers, large ones, and now something called caper berries. Are these all the same thing, and can I use them interchangeably in recipes?Answer
Capers are the olive-green buds of a bush native to the Mediterranean and some parts of Asia. The buds are picked almost daily -- before they begin to open then sun-dried and pickled. In France, capers are classified according to size; the tiniest capers, nonpareilles, are considered to have the finest, most delicate flavor. Capers add a burst of piquancy to seafood dishes and tomato sauces.
Caper berries, about the size and shape of a grape, are also pickled. Usually sold with the stem still on, these fruits of the caper bush are somewhat starchy and seedy, and have a less-intense flavor than capers. You can eat them like olives or use them as a garnish.
Any size capers are interchangeable in recipes; however, caper berries cannot be substituted. Capers come in jars of brine or packed in salt (rinse salted ones before using) and keep indefinitely in the refrigerator, but make sure the brined capers remain covered in their liquid.

On Europe trip, Obama to argue against a vote for a Palestinian state
Obama calls the statehood plan a misguided effort to isolate Israel. One factor Europeans might take into account at the time of a UN vote is whether the moribund peace process shows any life.
Stefan Wermuth/Reuters
President Obama takes his ideas for addressing Middle East turmoil to Europe this week, including his proposal to back up the political reforms under way in Egypt and Tunisia with targeted international economic assistance.
But having told Israel Sunday that it is time to make "hard choices" for peace with the Palestinians before changes in the region make an accord even more difficult, Mr. Obama now has a new task: persuading the Europeans not to support the declaration of a Palestinian state in September.
The president said in his Middle East speech last week that plans afoot for the United Nations General Assembly to vote at its September meeting on a declaration of an independent Palestine would accomplish nothing for the Palestinians. Calling the plan a misguided attempt to isolate Israel, Obama said the United States would oppose the effort.
Now Obama's attention shifts to convincing leaders with whom he will meet on his three-country European trip to reject the statehood proposal, which is already gaining significant support.
