-- Revenues set to double during the next four years - Inherent advantages to boost usage levels, despite higher initial costs
LONDON, Jan. 16, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Industrial applications represent substantial, untapped growth potential for lithium-ion batteries. The increasing need for cordless tools, data communication equipment and energy storage applications for renewable power will promote greater demand for lithium-ion batteries.
New analysis from Frost & Sullivan (http://www.powersupplies.frost.com), European Lithium-ion Battery Market for Industrial Applications, finds that the market earned revenues of $748.2 million in 2012 and estimates this to reach $1,644.2 million in 2017. The research covers the use of lithium-ion batteries in six key applications: industrial tools, medical devices, aerospace and defence, data collection, energy storage, and telecom and data communication.
"High energy density, light-weight, improved performance and long life-cycle are the key factors that motivate the use of lithium-ion batteries in industrial applications," noted Frost & Sullivan Energy and Power Supplies Industry Manager, Suba Arunkumar. "Such inherent advantages are highlighting their appeal, despite higher costs."
These features are also underlining the potential for lithium-ion batteries in energy storage applications. In 2012, back-up applications accounted for majority of the revenues. However, the contribution of residential and community energy storage systems is likely to pick up significantly after 2015.
"Incentives to promote renewable energy is driving market growth by increasing the need for self-consumption of the energy generated," added Arunkumar. "This will lead to heightened demand for lithium-ion batteries."
A key challenge for market participants is to address the high initial price, which could impede mass adoption in stationary applications.
"Owing to low unit shipments and it being a relatively new market, lithium-ion batteries are a little more expensive than existing, established chemistries like lead acid, nickel cadmium and nickel metal hydride," explained Arunkumar. "On reaching mass commercial volume, similar to consumer applications, the price of these batteries is expected to fall, pushing usage levels."

For starters, I have been having this problem since the end of season patch. I will be playing and I get a lag spike. The problem is that my ping stays between 60 and 80 ms and my FPS never drops before 60fps.
The latest game I was Diana; I would Crescent Strike and start my combo of Lunar Rush and Pale Cascade. I would just stand there, clicking to run back to my tower. Wait about five seconds and everything would happen at once. I would appear at my tower. I have had this problem with multiple rolls and champions.
What I have done:
I have used the Repair tool
I set everything to the lowest setting
I have set everything to the highest settings (bench mark FPS around 300)
I happens in custom, normal, ranked games
I have reset my router and my modem
I have attached a current DxDiag. Any assistance or suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thank you
Junior Member
Having the exact same problem. hope its fixed soon
Well it is a good feeling that I am not the only one having the problem.
Senior Member
Same here. I am getting lag problems as well- which still strikes me as odd, because i never once had lag problems when i first made my account and played it.
Now, i am getting lag problems- even spikes and sometimes disconnections- which tends to be taken care of easily for the most part, but it is still annoying.
It forces me to play beginner bots instead of pvp or higher leveled AI out of fear that i would be reported for something i did not mean to do...
Yeah, I've been jumping from my normal ~80ms ping to ~800ms during a large chunk of my game time. Started at the same time. Today I realized it's a continuous thing that only affects my LoL play. Any other internet application I run is fine. I'm sick of people telling me that it's something on my side - there are no other internet apps running simultaneously anywhere on my network and I can play any other network-intensive game just fine.
Boagsters, I am not having a ping problem though, I have a stead connection the whole time.

EOF - Now Data Gets Personal
The main problem with data is that it's easy to copy. In fact, sending it from one place to another is essentially an act of replication. The mv command is alien to most people's experience of the Internet. They may use it every day (hardly realizing it) within their own filesystems, but between separate systems on the Net, their experience is that of replication, not relocation.
This alone makes control of one's data problematic, especially when the first-person possessive voice isn't quite right. "My" data often isn't. For example, take profile or activity data kept by a service provider. It's from you and about you, but you don't own it, much less control it. Transaction data is created by a buyer and a seller together, but the canonical form of the data is what's kept by the seller and provided (by copying) in the form of a bill or displayed on an encrypted personal Web connection. Sellers don't go much further than that. The idea of sharing that information in its raw form, either during a transaction or later on request by the buyer, is alien at best to most sellers' IT and legal departments. As John Perry Barlow put it in "Death From Above" (way back in 1995, w2.eff.org/Misc/Publications/John_Perry_Barlow/HTML/death_from_above.html), "America remains a place where companies produce and consumers consume in an economic relationship which is still as asymmetrical as that of bomber to bombee." In fact, this is still true of the whole business world.
Yet, internetworking of that world brings a great deal of symmetricality to it, imposed by the architecture of the Internet and its growing suite of protocols. The bank that used to occupy the most serious building on Main Street—or a skyscraper in a big city—is now but one location among a trillion on the Web. Yours is another. The word "domain" applies to both of you, even if your bank's "brand" is bigger than yours. Of your own sense of place and power on the Net, the words of William Cowper apply (www.bartelby.com/41/317.html): "I AM monarch of all I survey; / My right there is none to dispute..."
Yet, as William Gibson famously said, "the future is here but not evenly distributed." Bomber/bombee power asymmetries persist in the B2C (business-to-consumer) world of everyday retailing. When you buy something, the transaction data in most cases comes to you only in the form of a receipt from the seller and a bill from the credit-card company. Neither is offered in formats that allow you to gather data on the spot or later over a secure Net connection—not easily, anyway.
If we could collect that data easily, our self-knowledge and future purchases would be far better informed. In fact, collected data could go far beyond transaction alone. Time, date, location, duration, sequence—those are obvious ones. How about other bits of data, such as those involved in dealings with airlines? For example, your "fare basis code" (HL7LNR, or some other collection of letters and numbers) contains piles of information that might be useful to you as well as the airline, especially as you begin to add up the variables over time.
A marketplace is no better than the knowledge and practices that buyers and sellers both bring to it. But, while the Net opens many paths for increasing knowledge on both sides, most of the knowledge-gathering innovation has gone into helping sellers. Not buyers.
Today, that's changing. More and more buyers (especially the geeks among them) are getting around to helping themselves. In particular, two new development categories are starting to stand out—at least for me. One is self-tracking, and the other is personal informatics.
Compared to its alternative (basically, guessing), self-tracking is "know thyself" taken to an extreme. Alexandra Carmichael, for example, tracks 40 things about herself, every day. These include mood, chronic pain levels, sexual activity, food intake and so on. She's a star in the Quantified Self community (www.kk.org/quantifiedself), which is led by Gary Wolf and Kevin Kelly. Among topics at QS meetups are chemical body load, personal genome sequencing, lifelogging, self-experimentation, behavior monitoring, location tracking, non-invasive probes, digitizing body info, sharing health records, psychological self-assessments and medical self-diagnostics, to name a few.
Now, would any of these be extreme if they were easy and routine? Well, that's the idea. ListenLog (cyber.law.harvard.edu/projectvrm/ListenLog), one of the projects I'm involved with, doesn't make sense unless it's easy, and unless the data it yields is plainly valuable.
This brings us to personal informatics, which is a general category that includes self-tracking and extends to actions. All this data needs to live somewhere, and stuff needs to be done with it.
In the commercial realm, I see two broad but different approaches. One is based on a personal data store that might be self-hosted by the customer or in a cloud operated by what we call a fourth-party service (serving the buyer rather than the seller—to differentiate it from third parties, which primarily serve sellers). As Iain Henderson (who leads this approach) puts it, what matters here "is what the individual brings to the party via their personal data store/user-driven and volunteered personal information. They bring the context for all subsequent components of the buying process (and high-grade fuel for the selling process if it can be trained to listen rather than shout)." The other approach is based on complete user autonomy, whereby self-tracking and personal relationships are entirely the responsibility of the individual. This is exemplified by The Mine! Project (themineproject.org/about), led by Adriana Lukas. As she puts it, the difference between the two approaches is providing vs. enabling (www.mediainfluencer.net/2009/04/enabling-vs-providing).
Either way, the individual is the primary actor. As distribution of the future evens out, the individual has the most to gain.

Australia–Israel relations
|Diplomatic Mission
|Israeli Embassy, Canberra
|Australian Embassy, Tel Aviv
|Ambassador Shmuel Ben
|Ambassador Dave Sharma
Australia–Israel relations refers to bilateral relations between Australia and Israel. The relationship has a strong historical dimension, dating back to the First World War when Australian forces fought alongside the Allies and played a key role in the Battle of Beersheba. Australia and Israel enjoy a warm and cooperative relationship.[1]
Australia has an embassy in Tel Aviv and Israel has an embassy in Canberra.
Four Australian Light Horse brigades and a battalion of camel troops took part in the British conquest of Palestine in 1916-1917. The Australian-Jewish general John Monash was a leader of the Australian Zionist movement. Australians soldiers fought in the Middle East in World War II. The Australian foreign minister H.V. Evatt served as Chairman of the UN General Assembly's Ad Hoc Committee on Palestine and helped to push through the UN Partition Plan on November 29, 1947. Australia was the first country to vote in favour of the plan despite heavy pressure from the United Kingdom on its fellow Commonwealth nations to abstain on the resolution.[2]
Full diplomatic relations were established on 29 January 1949.[3]
The Liberal-Country Party Coalition supported Israel during and after the 1967 Six-Day War. In the 1980s, Bob Hawke opposed the UN resolution equating Zionism with racism. Ties with Israel were strengthened under Prime Minister John Howard and Foreign Minister Alexander Downer, who supported Israel in the 2006 Lebanon War.[2]
In Israel, Anzac Day is commemorated at the Commonwealth War cemetery on Mount Scopus in Jerusalem. The Australian Soldier Park in Beersheba is dedicated to the memory of the Australian Light Horse regiment that charged at Beersheba and defeated the Turks in World War I.[4]
Bilateral trade[edit]
In October 2012, the Israeli company Elbit Systems Ltd won a contract from the Australian Defence Force to supply Battle Management Systems to the Royal Australian Navy's landing craft. General manager Bezhalel Machlis of Elbit Systems' Land and C4I Division said that "the fact that the Australian Defense Force, one of the most advanced and modern armies in the world, has decided to also equip its Navy with our Battle Management Systems, attests to its satisfaction with the quality and maturity of our systems."[5]
In May 2010, the Australian government expelled an Israeli diplomat over the use of Australian passports in the assassination of Mahmoud Al-Mabhouh. Foreign Minister Stephen Smith said that the misuse of the passports was "not the act of a friend."[6]

House of Representatives
Well, now we all can understand why unidentified Obama aides sought
so hard to cancel, delay, snipe and ultimately undermine Israeli Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's address to a joint meeting of Congress
In his idiomatic English and speaking as a friend,
Israel's superior spokesman firmly delivered an eloquent, detailed and
damning 3,900-word indictment of both Iran and the sell-out nuclear deal
that the Obama administration is in the closing stages of drafting in
Geneva. Netanyahu's delivery was Churchillian. Indeed, the 65-year-old
former special forces captain just became only the second foreign leader
after Sir Winston to address Congress three times.
Despite dozens
of Democrats boycotting the 40-minute address, the House chamber was
packed with extra folding chairs squeezed in by pages. Netanyahu spoke
with a broad historical stroke. He moved smoothly from Biblical times to
the Holocaust to Iran's provocative military exercises this week. He
talked of centrifuges and even quoted Robert Frost.
The prime
minister was interrupted by applause some 40 times. He was alternately
moving, exhortatory, almost angry, determined and humble and grateful to
both Americans and, surprisingly, Barack Obama, whom he praised
profusely for his aid to Israel.
Embarrassingly, the American
president could not find it in his conniving heart to rise above his
innate political pettiness. In a forced photo-op, Obama spent 11 minutes
claiming dismissively that he did not even watch the address.
said he found nothing new in it and wished Netanyahu had offered "viable
alternatives," clearly a talking point phrase that spewed from the
mouths of numerous Obama supporters all afternoon. Probably a
coincidence, don't you think? And obviously written in advance because
the Israeli leader's expressed alternative is to back up in the talks.
Democrats, who also claimed they hadn't bothered to watch, dismissed
the address as political theater concocted by congressional Republican
leaders seeking to embarrass the president and embraced by a desperate
Netanyahu running for reelection in two weeks. In fact, Congress is
pondering tougher sanctions on Iran, opposed by Obama, and sought
Israeli insights.
Netanyahu's speech drew intense international
interest, being broadcast around the globe in large part because the
Chicago crowd made such a big advance stink about it. Netanyahu's words
were broadcast live Tuesday evening in Israel with a five-minute tape
delay to allow official campaign referees to delete any domestic
political attacks by Netanyahu, who was way too smart for that.
down here to see the C-SPAN speech video for yourself. We'll explain
shortly why we think it was historic. If you prefer to read the remarks,
we published the complete Netanyahu transcript here. And Obama's reply is here.

I know that my speech has been the subject of much controversy. I
deeply regret that some perceive my being here as political. That was
never my intention.
I want to thank you, Democrats and
Republicans, for your common support for Israel, year after year, decade
after decade. (APPLAUSE) I know that no matter on which side of the
aisle you sit, you stand with Israel. (APPLAUSE)
The remarkable
alliance between Israel and the United States has always been above
politics. It must always remain above politics. (APPLAUSE)
America and Israel, we share a common destiny, the destiny of promised
lands that cherish freedom and offer hope. Israel is grateful for the
support of American -- of America's people and of America's presidents,
from Harry Truman to Barack Obama. (APPLAUSE)
We appreciate all that President Obama has done for Israel.
some of that is widely known. (APPLAUSE) Some of that is widely known,
like strengthening security cooperation and intelligence sharing,
opposing anti-Israel resolutions at the U.N.
Some of what the
president has done for Israel is less well- known. I called him in 2010
when we had the Carmel forest fire, and he immediately agreed to respond
to my request for urgent aid.
In 2011, we had our embassy in
Cairo under siege, and again, he provided vital assistance at the
crucial moment. Or his support for more missile interceptors during our
operation last summer when we took on Hamas terrorists. (APPLAUSE)
In each of those moments, I called the president, and he was there.
some of what the president has done for Israel might never be known,
because it touches on some of the most sensitive and strategic issues
that arise between an American president and an Israeli prime minister.
But I know it, and I will always be grateful to President Obama for that
support. (APPLAUSE)

First of all, the Republican race will be a barroom brawl once it
gets going. Right now, the numerous candidates are organizing their
teams and policy lines and maneuvering for donors. Dollars are votes for
the next several months. So, they're not going after each other yet in
any but the most subtle ways.
While no one has officially
announced, those claiming to be "considering" a run are trying out their
arguments and applause lines. Think of these days as spring training,
despite the frigid temperatures of climate change.
With Hillary
Clinton, who couldn't win the Democrat nomination in 2008, still
deciding when to begin her "campaign" for coronation as the party's 2016
nominee, Republicans once again will draw the most attention for their
spirited primaries and caucuses.
The weekend's Conservative
Political Action Conference provided a peek into the personalities and
themes of the GOP's nascent struggle to avoid losing three consecutive
presidential campaigns, which the party hasn't experienced since 1940.
Moderate is out. Conservative is in. Washington is bad. Flyover country
is good. Hillary will have to work harder than she thinks to separate
herself from what's-his-name on the golf course. Plus she's got some
overweight baggage of her own to check, starting with Benghazi,
fomenting the ill-considered Libyan war and disastrous fallout and, as
always with the Clintons, taking in tons of money from anyone. They're
not dead broke, by the way.
Polls, especially straw polls, are
totally meaningless at this point, beyond name recognition. Rand Paul
won the CPAC Straw Poll again, but by considerably less than the
previous two years. Scott Walker's bounce out of Iowa's Freedom Summit
took him within about four points of winning. He was followed by Ted
Cruz, Ben Carson and Jeb Bush. Chris Christie was tenth behind even
Carly Fiornia.
Here are some subjective impressions drawn from a few years' experience pol-watching:
was wise for John Boehner and Mitch McConnell to skip this year's
sessions. They drew almost as much criticism as Democrats for not yet
going to the mat over halting Obama's illegal illegal alien ploys.
the anti-Washington, anti-Congress fervor, Senators Cruz and Paul plow
ahead with their efforts. The lazy D.C. media will go to Capitol Hill
for stories much more often than Madison or Austin, skewing impressions
of the horse race.
Cruz' and Paul's fans are intense, vocal and
dedicated. Cruz is a compelling speaker, strolling the stage without
notes, excoriating RINOs and calling for a clear conservative
Rep. Nancy Pelosi visits Syrian dictator Bashar Assad, Israel's sworn enemy, in 2007. (AP)
They each offered different excuses from "We know what he's going to
say" to "I hardly ever attend such speeches" to "It's a tawdry stunt" to
"I am offended." Other than that, these Obama backers are in full
support of Israel, or will be when fundraising time rolls around next
But dozens of Democrats, who have long taken
Jewish money and votes for granted, have announced they will boycott the
address to a joint session of Congress today by Israel's Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu, head of the United States' closest Middle Eastern
He was invited by House Speaker John Boehner to speak on the
issue of Iran acquiring nuclear weapons as Congress considers tougher
sanctions on that state sponsor of terrorism. President Obama opposes
tougher sanctions.
The list of willful absentees includes Vice President Joe Biden, also a Democrat. He's wandering around in Latin America.

President Obama's weekly remarks
Hi everybody. In
America, we believe that a lifetime of hard work and responsibility
should be rewarded with a shot at a secure, dignified retirement. It's
one of the critical components of middle-class life — and this week, I
took new steps to protect it.
Six years after the crisis that
shook a lot of people's faith in a secure retirement, our economy is
steadily growing. Last year was the best year for job growth since the
1990s. All told, over the past five years, the private sector has added
nearly 12 million new jobs. And since I took office, the stock market
has more than doubled, replenishing the 401(k)s of millions of families.
while we've come a long way, we've got more work to do to make sure
that our recovery reaches more Americans, not just those at the top.
That's what middle-class economics is all about—the idea that this
country does best when everyone gets their fair shot, everybody does
their fair share, and everyone plays by the same set of rules.
last part—making sure everyone plays by the same set of rules—is why we
passed historic Wall Street Reform and a Credit Card Bill of Rights.
It's why we created a new consumer watchdog agency. And it's why we're
taking new action to protect hardworking families' retirement security.
If you're working hard and putting away money, you should have the peace
of mind that the financial advice you're getting is sound and that your
investments are protected.
But right now, there are no rules of
the road. Many financial advisers put their clients' interest first —
but some financial advisers get backdoor payments and hidden fees in
exchange for steering people into bad investments. All told, bad advice
that results from these conflicts of interest costs middle-class and
working families about $17 billion every year.
This week, I called
on the Department of Labor to change that — to update the rules and
require that retirement advisers put the best interests of their clients
above their own financial interests. Middle-class families cannot
afford to lose their hard earned savings after a lifetime of work. They
deserve to be treated with fairness and respect. And that's what this
rule would do.
While many financial advisers support these basic
safeguards to prevent abuse, I know some special interests will fight
this with everything they've got. But while we welcome different
perspectives and ideas on how to move forward, what I won't accept is
the notion that there's nothing we can do to make sure that
hard-working, responsible Americans who scrimp and save can retire with
security and dignity.
We're going to keep pushing for this rule,
because it's the right thing to do for our workers and for our country.
The strength of our economy rests on whether hard-working families can
not only share in America's success, but can also contribute to
America's success. And that's what I will never stop fighting for — an
economy where everyone who works hard has the chance to get ahead.
Thanks, and have a great weekend. ####

Good morning, I'm Jim Renacci, and I have the honor of representing the good people of Ohio's 16th Congressional District.
week, the House of Representatives passed a good, bipartisan bill that
could help many middle-class families. I'd like to take a moment to tell
you about it. (Scroll down for video of these remarks.)
First, a story. Like many of you, I was the first
in my family to go to college. Ours was a working class union family so I
had to pay my own way through school. To do that, I worked any number
of jobs: truck driver, mechanic, a road crew, you name it.
As an
accountant, I've seen countless parents struggle with putting away money
for their kids' tuition. You know how it is: you want to make sure they
have it better than you do. But at a time when the cost of just about
everything is going up and incomes are barely moving, that job's only
gotten harder.
So last month, when President Obama proposed taxing 529 plans, people were understandably outraged.
would we make saving for college even harder? We talk all the time
about rewarding people who work hard and play by the rules — well,
that's what 529 plans are. They empower families to set up accounts for
their children — right from when they're born — and then down the line
they can use that money — tax-free — on books, fees, tuition, and
All told, there are nearly 12 million of these
accounts open in all 50 states. That's up from 1 million accounts in
2001. Why would we stop that growth? So the government can take even
more of the money we've worked so hard to put away?
Thankfully, after a public outcry, the president was forced to drop the idea.
we can do more. With all the challenges middle-class families are
facing right now, we need to make it easier — not harder — to save.
That's why the House acted this week to expand and modernize 529 plans.
Our plan will do a few simple things.
to adapt to the times, we clarify that computers are qualified expenses
under 529 accounts. Second, we remove unnecessary paperwork burdens for
the administrators of these plans.
And third, we allow families
to re-deposit refunds from colleges without taxes or penalties. This
might be useful if something happens and a student has to withdraw early
for an illness. It's just good peace of mind to have.
I'm pleased
to report that the bill passed with more than 400 votes. Now we just
need President Obama to help us get this done. Together, let's make sure
that 529 plans will be there for middle-class families for years to
Because we all know that a good education leads to greater
opportunity and a stronger economy. So let's take this step to make
college more affordable and easier to plan. Thank you for giving me a
few minutes of your time. ####

[UPDATE 9:20p.m. Pacific: Despite last-minute campaign help from his pal President Obama, incumbent Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel was
forced into an embarrassing, unexpected and unprecedented reelection runoff Tuesday
when a poorly-funded challenger prevented the incumbent from reaching the 50% victory
[Emanuel received about 44% of the votes in a low, wintry turnout while fellow Democrat Jesus Chuy Garcia rode atop a wave of Hispanic support to capture 34%, far more than pre-election polls reported. The two men will now battle for the 21% of voters who opted for three other candidates, now forced out.
[With a tiny fraction of Emanuel's $16 million and 4,600 TV ads, Garcia portrayed himself as an urban progressive underdog up against the moneyed business interests of Emanuel and his pals.
[The runoff is April 7.]
Legend holds that Chicago's mayoral elections are held at this time
of the winter every four years because no one in their right mind would
venture outside to the polls unless they were loyal Democrat machine
voters whose precinct captains were taking attendance.
Mayor Rahm
Emanuel may be the beneficiary of that likely apocryphal story today as
for some reason he seeks a second term atop the nation's third-largest
city with its crumbling infrastructure, high taxes, corruption, poorly
performing schools, unbearable pension costs and gun violence.
former machine go-fer, Clinton money collector, House member, pal of
imprisoned ex-Gov. Rod Blagojevich and Obama chief of staff faces a
couple of no-names and Cook County Commissioner Jesus Chuy Garcia.
In Chicago's rigged political system that produced Barack Obama and his
sidekick Valerie Jarrett, none of them should have a
snowball's-chance-in-Hawaii of winning. And they don't. However, it is
possible if Hispanics turn out big-time today that Garcia could hold
Emanuel's vote total below the 50%-plus one he needs to avoid a two-man
runoff on April 7.
Then, a stream of Emanuel's notorious profanity
would likely be heard as far away as Springfield. In 2011, Emanuel
avoided a runoff, earning 55% of the vote.
A coronation delay this
time would be embarrassing for the pugnacious 55-year-old Emanuel, the
55th mayor, and the first Jewish one, in the long, sordid political
history of Chicago, which appropriately enough is an Indian word for a
smelly wild onion once found in the area.
Taking a page from
Obama's smearing playbook in 2012, Emanuel has been going after the
under-funded Garcia for months with much of the incumbent's $16 million
cash from a relatively small circle of wealthy donors. Emanuel knows
money, having been Bill Clinton's first finance chair.
according to congressional records, the inexperienced Emanuel acquired
$16.2 million during a 30-month stint of deal-making as an investment
banker after leaving the Clinton White House before Clinton named him to
the board of Freddie Mac.
With ISIS, Ukraine, Iran, Boko Haram
and the congressional stalemate over funding his illegal executive
orders all settled, Obama found time last week for some important
He hopped on Air Force One to proclaim a new national
monument on Chicago's South Side, a favorite project of Emanuel's. And,
well, hey, as long as he was in town, Obama stopped by his bud's
campaign HQ to film a last-minute commercial now showing on a
Chicagoland TV near you.
Polls show Emanuel in the mid-forties with Garcia in the twenties and the other two with 7% apiece.
Since Anton Cermak launched the Democrat
machine back in the 1930's, Chicago mayors rarely lose reelections. They
may retire, as Richard M. Daley did in 2011, or they may die, as his
father, Richard J. Daley, did. But upstarts rarely upset, unless as in
1979 there's a massive snowstorm that doesn't get plowed properly and a
feisty female upstart named Jane Byrne prepped to take advantage.
That's not going to happen this time. While you await tonight's Chicago vote "count," here's a favorite detailed personal story about how that city's political machine works -- and wins reelections one favor at a time.
RELATED:Can Hillary's hopes survive Benghazi?
Jeb Bush's narrow ledge to 2016 success
Obama whiles away the time until retirement.
We now know that Barack Obama has very few useful presidential skills. One of them is the guile to appear absolutely, 100% genuinely sincere when he says one thing. And then, just months later, to appear absolutely, 100% genuinely sincere when saying exactly the opposite.
He never declared a red line in Syria; that was someone else. He never said ObamaCare would save Americans $2,500 per household in healthcare costs.
In the 2012 presidential campaign Obama and Joe Biden warned voters that, if elected, Republican Mitt Romney would attack Syria. Even worse, Biden said, Romney threatened to revive the Cold War by not trusting Russia's President Vladimir Putin.
Turns out, it's the Obama-Biden administration that's bombing Syria now. And judging by Obama's denunciations of and economic sanctions on Putin, Republican Mitt Romney was 100% correct to distrust the former KGB officer.
Ending the war in Iraq was the original cornerstone of Obama's ambition for higher office first, the Senate, then the presidency. In 2010, Biden told Larry King that pulling U.S. troops out of Iraq the next year would be just one of Obama's "great achievements."
Now, of course, Obama is sending U.S. troops back into Iraq to try stemming the bloody onslaught of ISIS, which he called a JV team just a year ago. Obama maintains terrorism is not a serious homeland threat. Climate change is.
But for some inexplicable reason, Obama's Pentagon spokesmen have
publicly announced an April attack to retake Iraq's second-largest city,
Mosul. Hopefully, ISIS doesn't watch the news.
Now comes a stunning video (Scroll down), capturing Obama's repeated boasts about ending the war in Iraq, followed by.....
Well, we'll let you witness the one-minute video's punch-in-the-nose conclusion yourself.

our businesses already sell goods and services in other countries at

J'Ollies Restaurant
In its former lives, the space now occupied by J'Ollies Restaurant was a biker bar, a seafood restaurant, and a pub. When J'Ollies moved in, though, that space was transformed into a family-friendly restaurant where diners can feast on pancakes and waffles straight from the griddle, or homemade biscuits bathed in sausage gravy. They can even create their own omelet, filling a hearty three-egg and cheese package with meat and veggies. Later in the day, lunch and dinner options include American classics such as beer-battered cod, meatloaf, and grilled cheese sandwiches.
"The decor needs updating but the food was good and the service was great."
"Great food, great prices, I say look out IHop I found a place cheaper and good quality. It is located in the Days Inn hotel area."

In Memoriam: Eli Sagan
WGS is deeply saddened to announce the death on January 4, 2015, of Eli J. Sagan, a founding member of our National Board, husband of Frimi Giller Sagan, father of Board member Rachel Sagan, of WGS alumna Susannah Sagan '81, and of Miriam and Daniel Sagan. Eli was a brilliant thinker, writer, scholar, and activist, a passionate advocate for social justice, and the author of six books of cultural sociology who taught at Brandeis and at UC-Berkeley among many accomplishments. Through the Sagan Foundation, he provided the funding that launched and continues to support a wide range of WGS projects including our Graduate Student Grant and our Giller-Sagan Prize. A memorial service will take place on Wednesday, January 7, at 1:00 p.m. at Congregation Beth El, 105 Hudson Road, Sudbury, MA.
The family has asked that memorial contributions be directed to WGS, which will set up a special fund in Eli Sagan's memory.
Black Lives Matter: Statement of Solidarity
We, the faculty of the Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies Program at Brandeis University, express our solidarity with the movements in cities across the country and on our own campus in defense of Black lives. Concerned by the systemic daily violence wrought on Black communities, we commit ourselves to addressing, in our Spring 2015 classrooms and beyond, the endemic issues that perpetuate structural inequalities and cause systemic suffering and needless death. Black Lives matter to everyone.
Welcome to the website of the Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies Program (WGS) at Brandeis. We are a community of undergraduates, graduate students, faculty, staff and Board members from a range of disciplines and backgrounds. Together we ask questions about intersectional aspects of women, gender and sexuality in classes, lectures and a range of public events.
We offer an undergraduate major and minor in Women's, Gender and Sexuality Studies and help to support the undergraduate minor in Sexuality and Queer Studies (SQS). We also offer a standalone MA in Women's & Gender Studies and 10 joint MA programs in which graduate students focus on WGS and another discipline. We collaborate with a range of groups on campus and are generously supported by our National Board.
Browse our webpages, learn about our history, join our Facebook group and Twitter feeds, and be in touch with suggestions and questions at any time. We are always happy to hear from you!
