Kaka is firmly established as one of the finest players in the world. With a capacity to glide almost effortlessly past opponents, provide defence-splitting passes and score consistently from distance, the attacking midfielder won the FIFA World Player of the Year award in 2007 and made the five-man shortlist for sport's most prestigious individual honour again the following year.
Born in Brasilia in 1982, his family relocated to Sao Paulo when Kaka was young and it was there that he excelled at football and tennis. He ultimately elected to pursue the former and, after recovering from a career-threatening injury he suffered as a 15-year-old, he joined Sao Paulo.
Kaka made his Tricolor Paulista debut in January 2001 and, after helping his club lift the Torneio Rio-Sao Paulo trophy, was named in Brazil's squad for the 2002 FIFA World Cup Korea/Japan™. Although he was afforded little playing time in the Far East, he returned from the tournament with a winner's medal. Later that year he claimed Placar magazine's Bola de Ouro, awarded to the Campeonato Brasileiro's stand-out performer, and the following year he became the property of AC Milan.
There, with superstars Rivaldo and Manuel Rui Costa on the Rossoneri books, it was assumed the young Brazilian would be sent out on loan to gain experience. That move never materialised. Instead, Kaka, who got his first-team break due to injuries in the squad, rendered himself non-droppable and scored ten times in 30 outings as Milan roared to the Serie A title.
Kaka continued to excel over the following two seasons, illuminating the UEFA Champions League during the 2004/05 campaign, which culminated in his team's loss on penalties to Liverpool in an enthralling final, but his reputation accelerated to new heights in 2007; a year in which he played the leading role in Milan's capture of the Champions League and FIFA Club World Cup titles. Among the countless personal honours he received that year were a second Serie A Footballer of the Year award and the FIFA World Player gong. Injuries hindered Kaka in the 2008/09 season. However, when he started, he sparkled.
Kaka has been a fixture in the Brazil team since 2003, and by the end of 2008 had scored 23 goals in 62 internationals - interestingly, A Seleção have never lost a match in which he has found the target.
Kaka radiated as Brazil won the FIFA Confederations Cup Germany 2005, and his brilliant strike from distance earned them a 1-0 victory over Croatia in their 2006 FIFA World Cup Germany™ opener. However, he and his fellow attacking geniuses were unable to find their rhythm for the remainder of the tournament, and the five-time world champions ultimately lost to France in the quarter-finals.
Kaka's reputation as a leader and decisive playmaker were bolstered dramatically with some impressive showings in South Africa 2010 qualifying and also at the FIFA Confederations Cup South Africa 2009, where he scooped the adidas Golden Ball award and man of the match honours for the final against USA.

Why the exhibitionist girls likes to stripping in public area? May be they want to be fucked by strangers? We try to discover that. At first, public stripping is a kind of outdoor bdsm kinky perversions. Hot chicks stripping in public like to demonstrate their naked bodies, and other people like to see and shot it just for pleasure. Models in mini-panty tied, fisted and leave for disgrace in free porn public. Muscular guys bounding and fucking these girls really in crowd of people. There are no extreme: just flashing and fun and voyeur for public group sex. Nude girls dominated and gangbanged at the streets and bridges, in the public buses, at subway stations and other well-known places. |

hello everyone. i just got my new tablet with ice cream sandwich and its missing the people ap, i can't access my synced contact! or create or make any contact at all!!! does anyone know how i can fix it Thanks Tom
Generic tablet....this kind of things happen. To fix it, go to the play store and download something like GO! Contacts
Hello, I am having the same problem, no contact or people. play store lists GO! contacts as not compatable. Others I have download just fold up and close. no errors. Thanks
Cheapo device with a lobotomised OS. Probably best to send it back for a refund. FYI: SUMVISION - We Sell PC Hardware, Software, Digital Media, Digital Cameras, MP3 Players, Components, Networking Equipment and more...
Did you log in on the play store? I wouldn't thinl you could download from the play store with this tablet. Usually with these type tablets you need to use getjar or amazon markets? See if you can download gmail or go contacts that way. Worth a try?
I may be stupid here but being a tablet (and not a phone) doesn't this mean certain apps won't be included that are usually phone-specific? such as contacts, dialer, and such?
It should still be able to do contacts even though it's not a phone, because they're used for e-mail and IM. Perhaps the Sum Vision really intended this tablet just for watching movies and playing games?
my Coby Kyros didn't have it either, so I just assumed it was a phone-specific feature. sometimes the ROM is edited by the maker of the tablet, so they may have opted not to include them for that reason?
Yup, that's what it is. My Chinese Ampe tablet has contacts. It's not a cell-phone, there's no dialler or phone app, and there's no 3G built-in either. However I have installed Skype and I do have Skype-Out. So if I do open a contact, one of the options is to make a VOIP call using Skype Out. It has a built-in in mic and speaker, I can plug a head-set in as well.

This is an implementation of the Dunn's index for clustering.
| Watch this File
The Dunn's index measures compactness (Maximum distance in between data points of clusters) and clusters separation (minimum distance between clusters). This measurement serves as a measure to find the right number of clusters in a data set, where the maximum value of the index represents the right partitioning given the index (partition with the highest separation between clusters and less spread data in between clusters).

hello this code is working fine on 100*50 dimensional images but not above that. I want to work on high resolution images too. Please help me soon. Thanks in advance
Julian, Thanks for the very helpful function. The dunns.m function works fine but the spectralClust function in the demo file is not supported anymore in Matalb R2011b.
Hi all, It seems the server would not allow me to update the file so instead I have just upload it again, notice the new version only difference is that I'm including a demo that shows how to use the Index.
Hi can i know how have u represented the dissimilarity matrix, when i use mine i get error as index exceeds dimension
Hi, I have also tried to run this code but unable to run it. If it is possible for you to write a simple example so that we can understand it well. Thanks in advance.
Hmmm returns empty value for my data...Wonder why...

The RX10 is the next generation in our advanced LED lighting systems. It's 30% brighter than its predecessor with a tight, fixed focus beam. As always, the RX brand utilizes an intelligent microprocessor control unit to keep the light operating at peak efficiency. This smart controller monitors the battery voltage, alerts the diver to low battery upon turn on and monitors temperature for device protection.
At full power, the RX10 has a seven hour burn time, however, using smart technology, the RX10's microprocessor thinks for the diver and automatically switches from full power to a graduated voltage drop to extend battery run-time while maintaining usable light. A key added safety feature is the battery check function. The diver can check battery state-of-charge by simply switching the unit on. If the unit flashes three rapid pulses, the diver knows that the battery is low before the dive and will start in the half-power setting.
The RX10 employs a CREEÈ XLampÈ LED with a system lumen rating of 750 lumens. At one meter,the RX10 boasts a LUX rating greater than 9,500 lumens as measured using a Konica Minolta Chroma Meter. Designed for technical diving, the RX10 sports a tight 10-degree beam that is useful for signaling, yet covers enough area to illuminate the surrounding environment for better awareness as well as viewing pleasure.
The RX10 comes standard with our Goodman metal hand mount, an elastic hand mount, our Quick Belt Mount, and banana plug power connections. The RX10 NiMH batteries do not contain lithium and therefore are not subject to TSA travel restrictions. NiMH Smart Charger comes standard with a US power cord and automatically adjusts to 110/220 volts AC and 50/60Hz frequency.
The Dive Rite RX10 is proudly designed, manufactured, and assembled in the USA.
Do not plug the battery into the light head while out of the canister. Even whenthe light is off, if the battery is plugged in backwards it can create reverse polarity and damage the light. Always use a fresh, properly charged battery in order to achieve rated burn times.
This product has a limited warranty of 12 months.

Archive for the 'naval race' Tag
(This article appeared at RealClearDefense and is cross-posted by permission.)
In previous writing about the ongoing East Asian naval race shortly after the launching of the Japanese helicopter destroyer Izumo (DDH-183), I noted that the feverish naval race may be rooted in historical grievances, fierce competition for scarce resources, and the recent sequestration cuts within the Department of Defense, which may make it more difficult for the United States to "manage its alliances and strategic partnerships in the region."
As some of my readers have pointed out, I may have appeared somewhat biased against Japan because I did not fully account for other dynamics of the regional naval competition. However, it is not my intention in any way to accuse Japan or its neighbors of espousing expansionist tendencies. I should, therefore, point out that the factors behind the ongoing naval race may be more complex than they appear at first.
Tags: aircraft carriers, defense spending, JMSDF, naval aviation, naval race, People's Liberation Army Navy of China, ROK Navy, territorial rows, US-ROK Alliance
On August 6th, the Center for International Maritime Security (CIMSEC) ran a feature on the latest Japanese helicopter destroyer, the Izumo (DDH-183). CIMSEC contributor Miha Hribernik observed that the Izumo, which is supposedly capable of carrying an aviation squadron and boasts a 814 feet-long (248 meters) STOBAR (short take-off but arrested recovery) flight deck, is "sure to cause concern in China…[since the launching of the ship] presents a potent addition to the operational capabilities and strategic reach of the JMSDF."
According to Business Insider, the launching of the helicopter destroyer "came in" shortly after China's recent statement that it is in "no rush [to sign the proposed Code of Conduct] since [Southeast Asian nations involved] harbor unrealistic expectations." Japan's territorial row involving Diaoyu/Senkaku coupled with threats emanating from the DPRK (Democratic Republic of Korea) might have triggered increased defense spending. However, the two aims of Japan's burgeoning defense spending, pre-emptive strike capabilities and the creation of an amphibious assault unit similar to the United States Marine Corps, have made its East Asian neighbors uneasy. As for America's reaction, Zachary Keck believes that while it is "unclear" how the Obama Administration will respond to Japan's pre-emptive attack on its "adversary's bases," the Obama Administration could become "vocal" should Japan act upon its "threats to review [its] past apologies."

text: Uploaded By: THE FASCIST **************************************** ** ** ** HACKING DEC'S ** ** ** **************************************** Welcome to Hacking DEC'S. In this article you will learn how to log in to DEC'S, logging out and all the fun stuff to do in-between. All of this information is based on a standard DEC system. Since there are DEC systems 10 and 20, & we favor the DEC 20, there will be more info on them in this article. It just so happens that the DEC 20 is also the more common of the two, and is used by much more interesting people (if you know what we mean...) Ok, the first thing you want to do when you are recieving carrier from a DEC system is to find out the format of login names. You can do this by looking at who is on the system. DEC=> @ (the 'exec' level prompt) YOU=> SY SY is short for SY(STAT) and shows you the system status. You should see the format of login names ... A SYSTAT usually comes up in this form: JOB LINE PROGRAM NUMBER Job: The JOB number (Not important unless you want to log them off later) Line: What line they are on (used to talk to them ...) (These are both two or three digit numbers.) Program: What program are they running under? If it says 'EXEC' they aren't doing anything at all... User: ahhhAHHHH! This is the user name they are logged in under... Copy the format, and hack yourself out a working code... Login format is as such: DEC=> @ YOU=> login username password Username is the username in the format you saw above in the SYSTAT. After you hit the space bar after your username, it will stop echoing characters back to your screen. This is the password you are typing in... Remember, people usually use their name, their dog's name, the name of a favorite character in a book, or something like this. A few clever people have it set to a key cluster (qwerty or asdfg). PW's can be from 1 to 8 characters long, anything after that is ignored. You are finally in... It would be nice to have a little help, wouldn't it? Just type a ? or the word HELP, and it will give you a whole list of topics... Some handy characters for you to know would be the control keys, wouldn't it? Backspace on a DEC 20 is rub which is 255 on your ASCII chart. On the DEC 10 it is CTRL-H. To abort a long listing or a program, CTRL-C works fine. Use CTRL-O to stop long output to the terminal. This is handy when playing a game, but you don't want to CTRL-C out. CTRL-T for the time. CTRL-U will kill the whole line you are typing at the moment. You may accidently run a program where the only way out is a CTRL-X, so keep that in reserve. CTRL-S to stop listing, CTRL-Q to continue on both systems. Is your terminal having trouble?? Like, it pauses for no reason, or it doesn't backspace right? This is because both systems support many terminals, and you haven't told it what yours is yet... You are using a VT05 (Isn't that funny? I thought I had an apple) so you need to tell it you are one. DEC=> @ YOU=> information terminal or... YOU=> info ter This shows you what your terminal is set up as... DEC=> all sorts of shit, then the @ YOU=> set to vt05 This sets your terminal type to VT05. Now lets see what is in the account (here after abbreviated acct.) that you have hacked onto... SAT=> DIR Short for directory, it shows you what the user of the code has saved to the disk. There should be a format like this: xxxxx.ooo xxxxx is the file name, from 1 to 20 characters long. ooo is the file type, one of: exe, txt, dat, bas, cmd and a few others that are system dependant. Exe is a compiled program that can be run (just by typing its name at the @). Txt is a text file, which you can see by typing=> type xxxxx.txt. Do not try to=> type xxxxx.exe This is very bad for your and will tell you absolutely nothing. Dat is data they have saved. Bas is a basic program, you can have it typed out for you. Cmd is a command type file, a little too complicated to go to into here. TRY => take xxxxx.cmd. By the way, there are other users out there who may have files you can use (Gee, why else am I here?). TYPE => DIR <*.*> DEC 20 => DIR [*,*] DEC 10 * is a wildcard, and will allow you to access the files on other accounts if the user has it set for public access. If it isn't set for public access, then yo won't see it. To run that program: DEC=> @ YOU=> username program-name Username is the directory you saw the file listed under, and file name was what else but the file name? ** YOU ARE NOT ALONE ** Remeber, you said (at the very start) SY short for SYSTAT, and how we said this showed the other users on the system? Well, you can talk to them, or at least send a message to anyone you see listed in a SYSTAT. You can do this by: DEC => the user list (from your systat) YOU => talk username (DEC 20) send username (DEC 10) Talk allows you and them immediate transmission of whatever you/they type to be sent to the other. Send only allows one message to be sent, and only after you hit <return>. With send, they will send back to you, with talk you can just keep going. By the way, you may be noticing with the talk command that what you type is still acted upon by the parser (control program). To avoid the constant error messages type either: YOU=> ;you message YOU=> rem your message The semi-colon tells the parser that what follows is just a comment. Rem is short for 'remark' and ignores you from then on until you type a CTRL-Z or CTRL-C, at which point it puts you back in the exec mode. To break the connection from a talk command type: YOU=> break PRIV'S: If you happen to have privs, you can do all sorts of things. First of all, you have to activate those privs. YOU => enable This gives you a $ prompt, and allows you to do this: Whatever you can do to your own directory you can now do to any other directory. To create a new acct. using your privs, just type => build username. If username is old, you can edit it, if it is new, you can define it to be whatever you wish. Privacy means nothing to a user with privs. By the way, there are various levels of privs; Operator, Wheel, CIA. Wheel is the most powerful, being that he can log in from anywhere and have his powers. Operators have their power because they are at a special terminal allowing them the privs. CIA is short for 'Confidential Information Access', which allows you a low level amount of privs. Not to worry though, since you can read the system log file, which also has the passwords to all the other accounts. To de-activate your privs, type: YOU=> disable When you have played your greedy little heart out, you can finally leave the system with the command => logout This logs the job you are using off the system (there are be variants of this such as kjob, or killjob). By the way, you can say (if you have privs) => logout username and that kills the username's terminal. There are many more commands, so try them out. Just remember: Leave the account in the same state as you found it. This way they may never know that you are playing leech off their acct. This article written by: The Knights of Shadow

Justice and Law Enforcement:
In a Previous Rate-Setting Proceeding for Some Sound Recordings, the Standard Addressing the Disruptive Impact on the Industries Contributed to a Lower Copyright Royalty Rate, but the Effect of Its Proposed Removal Is Unclear
GAO-10-828R: Published: Aug 4, 2010. Publicly Released: Aug 4, 2010.
Additional Materials:

Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Every day, thousands of AM/FM radio stations, as well as satellite radio, cable radio, and Webcasters, use sound recordings to provide music to their listeners. As a form of intellectual property, sound recordings are protected by copyright law. The copyright holder (e.g., a record company or performer) may use a license to grant third parties permission to use sound recordings, in return for compensation and compliance with other conditions of the license. Congress established a statutory copyright regime, including a statutory license, which among other things, avoids the potential problems associated with thousands of music service providers seeking licenses from many copyright holders. Under this regime, a party may invoke a statutory license to allow it to use sound recordings under certain conditions and according to specific requirements, in exchange for payment of a set royalty amount. Since 1976, the Copyright Royalty Tribunal, Copyright Arbitration Royalty Panels, and Copyright Royalty Judges have been responsible, successively, for recommending or setting rates, terms, and conditions for statutory licenses. In the Copyright Act of 1976, Congress established the Copyright Royalty Tribunal. The Copyright Royalty Tribunal operated until 1993, when Congress abolished it and authorized the Librarian of Congress, upon the recommendation of the Register of Copyrights, to appoint and convene Copyright Arbitration Royalty Panels. The Copyright Arbitration Royalty Panel system consisted of ad hoc arbitration panels; each Copyright Arbitration Royalty Panel was selected for a particular proceeding. In the Copyright Royalty and Distribution Reform Act of 2004, Congress replaced the Copyright Arbitration Royalty Panel system with the Copyright Royalty Judges. The three Copyright Royalty Judges are housed in the Copyright Royalty Board, an establishment created within the Library of Congress. The Copyright Royalty Judges are now responsible for establishing and adjusting the rates and terms of statutory licenses, among other things. When establishing or adjusting royalty rates for statutory licenses, the Copyright Royalty Judges gather evidence and hear relevant testimony, and consider standards codified in law. The judges may consult the Register of Copyrights, whose timely decision on questions of copyright law is binding on the judges. The Copyright Royalty Judges establish or adjust royalty rates for statutory licenses using one of two standards: 1) Willing buyer-willing seller, and 2) Section 801(b)(1). Congress is considering legislation that would alter copyright law as it pertains to sound recordings. As requested, this report examines how the section 801(b)(1)(D) standard has been applied in previous rate setting proceedings.
The Copyright Royalty Tribunal (Tribunal) and a Copyright Arbitration Royalty Panel (Panel) applied the section 801(b)(1) standards three times. The Tribunal applied the section 801(b)(1) standard twice in 1981. In both cases, the Tribunal first determined a royalty rate and then applied the section 801(b)(1) standards. In the first decision, the Tribunal determined the rate was consistent with each standard, commenting only briefly on each, and in the second decision, it applied the evidence to each of the four standards, sections 801(b)(1)(A)-(D), and made no adjustment to the rate. In 1997, the Librarian of Congress convened a Panel that made a royalty determination for subscription services for digital performances of sound recordings. While the Panel applied the section 801(b)(1) standards, it relied heavily on a benchmark rate submitted as part of the evidence gathering process to establish the value of a performance right that, among other things, did not exist at the time the benchmark came into existence. The Librarian of Congress subsequently reviewed the Panel's rate determination and on recommendation of the Register of Copyrights, rejected the rate, and placing some emphasis on the section 801(b)(1)(D) standard, established a new rate. The Librarian faulted the Panel for its application of the section 801(b)(1)(A) standard and for its failure to reconcile its conclusion with the Tribunal's 1981 decision. Subsequently, a petition for review of the Librarian's decision was denied with respect to these rate-setting issues but granted and remanded on other issues. The Copyright Royalty Judges (Judges) applied the section 801(b)(1)(D) standard in 2008 during the satellite digital audio radio services (SDARS) rate-setting proceeding, and determined that to avoid disruption of the satellite radio industry, this standard warranted that satellite radio providers pay a lower royalty rate than might be appropriate as the industry is established.

A New York Review Books Original
In his more than eighty years, Francis Wyndham has published very little—one novella and two collections of stories—but his is one of the most individual and compelling bodies of work by a contemporary English writer. As Alan Hollinghurst has said, Wyndham's fiction stands in the tradition of social comedy that goes back through Henry James to Jane Austen, with this difference: Wyndham writes about the lives of privileged and even titled people, but he is drawn to outcasts and odd ducks, adolescents, lonely women, addicts, eccentrics, and idlers.
The earliest stories here, gathered under the title Out of the War, are brilliant vignettes of deprivation and desire written during World War II. The later Mrs Henderson and Other Stories, by contrast, offers scrupulously observed tragicomic pictures of the vagaries of upper-class English family life. Finally, in the Whitbread Prize—winning short novel The Other Garden, a shy teenage boy living in the country strikes up an unlikely friendship with Kay, the thirty-something daughter of neighbors, sister to a famous actor, and black sheep of her family. Kay, with her whims and crazes and boyfriends, is unable to hold her own against her family's disapproval, and the narrator watches with helpless fascination as her small but very real tragedy is played out against the background of the Second World War.
The Complete Fiction of Francis Wyndham, which also includes the 1985 Mrs. Henderson and Other Stories and the 1987 novella The Other Garden, is a collection of beguiling consistency.
— The Boston Phoenix
One of the great authors of the 20th century…He has been compared to Jane Austen, Henry James and P.G. Wodehouse—he is as satirical as the first, as dry as the second and as funny (well, not quite) as the third. Like them, his topic is the British bourgeoisie, but his era touches our own, and his lodestone is World War II…it is the author's most recent writings—"Mrs. Henderson and Other Stories"—that are shocking and beautiful in their pitch-perfect evocation of an era only just lost, an era that still echoes.
— Newsday
Wyndham, a legend in contemporary English letters, is pretty much unknown here. As an editor, he mentored Bruce Chatwin and V.S. Naipaul and rediscovered Jean Rhys. As a writer, he has published little—only three books in 40 years, but this is fiction of outstanding quality, short stories on the whole, posed somewhere between Henry James and Jane Austen.
— Los Angeles Times
Beautifully written, full of emotional honesty, these are stories to savour, and reread.
— The Times (London)
Wyndham's prose has an almost luminous clarity of expression, and he is excellent at capturing not just the detail but the mood of a particular period.
— Times Literary Supplement
Exceptionally accomplished…a writer who never wastes a word or puts one wrong…He belongs in a tradition of social comedy going back through Henry James to Jane Austen.
— Alan Hollinghurst
Friend and confident of Bruce Chatwin, Jean Rhys, and VS Naipaul, Francis Wyndham has moved in English literature's most exalted circles. Now his own deliciously precise and funny writings are being republished.
— The Guardian

Malloy on Sunday afternoon requested that President Barack Obama declare a pre-landfall emergency in Connecticut. This declaration allows the state to request funding and other assistance in advance of the storm impacting the state. Hurricane Sandy is a serious threat to our state and this declaration will allow us to request federal funding and other assistance in Connecticut in advance of the storm, Governor Malloy said. When I spoke with President Obama this afternoon, it was clear that he and other federal emergency management officials are taking this threat as seriously as we are. As the hours go by, we are more and more certain that Hurricane Sandy will have a substantial impact on our state and I do not want to wait to get this process going. **Download: Governor Malloys request for a pre-landfall emergency in Connecticut ### For Immediate Release: October 28, 2012 Twitter: @GovMalloyOffice Facebook: Office of Governor Dannel P.

What are We Not Doing When We're Online?Scott WallstenTechnology Policy Institute November 1, 2011 Abstract: While Americans are spending an increasing amount of leisure time engaged in online activities, total leisure time has remained constant since at least 2003. This paper uses data from the American Time Use Survey from 2003-2010 to investigate the extent to which online leisure is substituting for other leisure activities. The analysis suggests that online leisure, especially online video and social networking, appears to come at the expense of watching traditional television, socializing, and relaxing. However, the net crowding out effect is incomplete — each minute of online leisure is correlated with 0.27 minutes less of other leisure — suggesting that at least some online leisure occurs concurrently with other, offline, leisure. Nevertheless, both the amount of time engaged in online leisure and the magnitude of the (negative) correlation between online and offline activity are increasing, suggesting that online activities are taking the place of a growing share of offline leisure activities. Additionally, some evidence suggests that new online activities also crowd out previous online activities. In particular, online leisure is increasingly negatively correlated with time spent on personal email.

Software-as-a-service pioneer salesforce.com (NYSE: CRM ) reports its fiscal Q2 2009 earnings on Wednesday afternoon. Want to know what Wall Street expects to see? Read on. Want to know what really matters? Read on a bit more.
What analysts say:
- Buy, sell or waffle? Thirty-one analysts follow salesforce: 16 rate the stock a buy, a baker's dozen say to hold, and two vote "sell."
- Revenues. On average, they expect to see 48% sales growth, to $260.5 million.
- Earnings. Profits could nearly triple to $0.08 per share.
What management says:
With business booming, and CEO Marc Benioff crowing over his company's generation of "more than a quarter billion dollars of operating cash in the last 12 months alone," salesforce upped its previous guidance to promise more than $1.06 billion in sales this year, and profits of $0.33 or $0.34 per share
What management does:
Bold words? Sure, but salesforce is delivering on them so far. Per-share profits octupled last quarter, and cash from operations more than doubled. Rolling gross margins have risen for four straight quarters; operating and net margins, for more than a year. The company overtook Oracle (Nasdaq: ORCL ) in gross margins last quarter, and now leads it, Google, IBM (NYSE: IBM ) , and Accenture (NYSE: ACN ) .
Four down, one to go: Better watch your back, Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT ) !

All data courtesy of Capital IQ, a division of Standard & Poor's. Data reflects trailing-12-month performance for the quarters ending in the named months.
One Fool says:
Few things excite investors more than watching a company add multiples to its margins, but remember that salesforce is building off of a very low base right now. More informative to Fools, may be its improvement in free cash flow.
salesforce generated just under $200 million in free cash flow over the past 12 months, about a 99% increase year over year. While that growth rate isn't sustainable ad infinitum, I suspect the pace will remain quite fast as the company's free cash flow converges with its net earnings under GAAP (just one-seventh the size of free cash flow).
To me, therefore, salesforce's projected growth rate of 43%, as quoted on Yahoo! Finance, does not seem unlikely. Nor is its valuation of 40 times free cash flow unreasonable given the projected growth rate.

Nine hours on the coastal road
Trip Start
May 07, 2011
Trip End
Nov 09, 2011
Where I stayed
What I did
Drove through Manchester
Watched pelicans at a lighthouse
Ate a picnic on the coast
Stopped to watch some seals and birds in Tomales Bay
Drove through Sausalito in the sunshine
Drove across Golden Gate bridge with the top down
Ate mexican food in Santa Cruz
Stayed in a "ghetto" motel
The first town we passed through was called Manchester! With a population of just 462 it was a little bit smaller than our home town. We took a photo next to the sign for fun. Carried on along more pretty rugged coastline. We drove most of the way with the top down but the wind chill is cold so even with the heater turned to max, we needed warm clothes on.
Just outside Manchester we had a near miss with a turkey vulture. In its haste to escape, it spilled blood, guts and entrails all across the road. The vulture was lucky the mustang has good brakes or he'd have been his friends next meal. We stopped the car and watched and about 6 of these big birds came out of the trees and mopped the ground clean. They would be really handsome if they didn't have heads like turkeys.
We stopped and ate our picnic in one of the many coastal view car parks dotted along the coast road. We watched sea gulls and pelicans flying around over head. When the pelicans fly together in squadrons of about 8 they look like military planes in formation. We had been so excited about seeing one pelican in Miami but it turns out they are one of the most common birds to see around here. Big groups of them fly along the coast all the time.
We carried on down the coast along the winding road for another hour or two before reaching Sausalito. I was surprised we'd reached it so quickly. Time flies when you are enjoying the ever changing view. On the way, we saw a big group of seals sunning themselves on a sandbank in Tomales Bay. Spent a few minutes watching them do nothing before heading on.
Without stopping, we drove through Sausalito, over the Golden Gate bridge (in the sunshine this time). We didn't stop in San Francisco either since we'd been here only a few days ago. The coastal road south of San Francisco to Santa Cruz is no where near as pretty as the road north of San Francisco. It's mostly made up of large highways that are often nowhere near the coast. Whilst the road is fairly fast flowing, there is pretty much nothing to see for the most part.
We eventually pulled up to Santa Cruz where we ate a Mexican meal and booked into the cheapest motel we have stayed in yet. Just down from the motel, we spotted a good looking wooden roller coaster on the sea front. Matthew asked the manager if it was any good but he didn't know what a rollercoaster was! "You mean tour bus?" he said. No amount of description and arm waving helped.
After checking in, as we were getting our bags from the car, another guest - skinhead, hoodie, walking with a swagger walked past and said 'Its Ghetto but it'll do'. His wife was annoyed they didn't have shampoo. Nice guy. Looks can be deceiving! We thought the room wasn't bad actually.
Even if the manager doesn't know what the great big wooden thing is just down the road, we are definitely doing it tomorrow!

Big Money in the New Russia
The Oligarchs: Wealth and Power in the New Russia
Armageddon Averted: The Soviet Collapse, 1970–2000
Say what you like about Russia in the 1990s, at least it was never boring. Anything was possible, and, indeed, most things happened. Laws and institutions crumbled before an onrush of greed and desperation. As David Hoffman and Stephen Kotkin recount, the events of the period included hyperinflation, a financial boom, a catastrophic bust, the looting of national wealth through privatization, a civil war, the unseating of four prime ministers in eighteen months, a president at death's door, and the shelling of a parliament.
It all got rather wearying toward the end, whether you were winning or losing. By the close of the decade even the winners were ready to call a truce, so they could have some relative peace in which to consolidate their gains. They welcomed Vladimir Putin to power and let him calm things down. The federal parliament, the regional governments, even the business tycoons accepted a new and more restrictive regime in which the Kremlin set the rules. Two tycoons who could not or would not adjust to the new order, Boris Berezovsky and Vladimir Gusinsky, were hounded out of the country.
For David Hoffman, the emergence of such tycoons at the start of the 1990s was one sign of a transformation sweeping Russia, when it became in many respects a new country and the ways to power and wealth were opened suddenly to new people. Stephen Kotkin places his emphasis differently. He believes the new Russia can best be understood by recognizing the extent to which its determining characteristics have been those inherited from the old Soviet Union—essentially, obsolete industry and thieving government. This calls for treating the period from 1970 to 2000 as "an integrated whole," he says, during which the "death agony of an entire world comprising non-market economics and anti-liberal institutions" was played out.
These two approaches may be more complementary than contradictory. They both support the proposition that little changed for most people when Russia staggered free of the Soviet Union. Most remained the victims of a long-term national decline. But for a relatively few people, everything changed. If you had strong nerves, quick wits, and good connections, then bliss was it in that dawn to be alive.
Hoffman tracks six Russians as they rise, through the perestroika and the Yeltsin years, toward the heights of financial and political power. One of them, it cannot be otherwise, is Boris Berezovsky, the most daring, extravagant, and outspoken of all the new Russian tycoons. "He is one of those people," a Berezovsky associate accurately tells Hoffman, "who can exist calmly and comfortably only in extreme situations, in which not a single other person would feel comfortable."
Berezovsky was a relatively obscure figure, even in Russia, until the middle of 1996, when he announced himself as leader of a team of tycoons backing Boris Yeltsin's reelection campaign. Intoxicated by Yeltsin's victory, the tycoons began publicly claiming state power as their reward.
They were called "oligarchs" first by their critics, but …

St Mercurius the Bishop of Smolensk, Kiev Near Caves
Saint Mercurius of Kiev Caves pursued asceticism in the Farther Caves in the fourteenth century, and was strict in fasting. During his lifetime St Mercurius had a deep spiritual friendship with St Paisius, and when they died, they were buried in the same grave. The November 24 commemoration of the saint is made because of his namesake, the holy Great Martyr Mercurius. He is also remembered on August 28, the Synaxis of the Saints of the Far Caves; and on the second Sunday of Great Lent, the Synaxis of all the monastic Fathers of the Kiev Caves.

The playground, parts of which are still being built, got a good test Saturday, June 8, during what the Overton Park Conservancy billed as a "day of merrymaking."

Ronald Regan identified the political class as 'If it moves, tax it, if it continues to move, regulate it, if it stops moving, subsidize it." When politicians find an inanimate object, such as seat belts, that they can't tax they regulate it and assign a fine. Problem solved. Law Enforcement becomes the tax collector.

New Delhi: Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on December 28 allayed fears of the states on the proposed national legal framework on water, saying the Centre has no intention of encroaching upon their rights on the issue. "The central government does not wish to encroach, in any manner, upon the constitutionally guaranteed rights of states or to centralise water management...I would like to emphasise the need to see the proposed national legal framework in proper perspective," he said.
"The framework would be an umbrella statement of general principles governing the exercise of legislative, executive or devolved powers by the Centre, the states and the local governing bodies," the Prime Minister said here. Singh was addressing the sixth meeting of the National Water Resources Council which is likely to adopt the latest National Water Policy.
The policy proposes to have a national legal framework on water issues which the state governments have been opposing since the draft was put in public domain in January, 2012. Referring to the issue of depleting groundwater, the Prime Minister said inspite of its "vital importance", there is no regulation for its extraction and coordination among competing uses. "We need to initiate steps to minimise misuse of groundwater by regulating the use of electricity for its extraction," he said.
PM was addressing the National Water Resources Council which is likely to adopt the latest National Water Policy.
Singh said rapid economic growth and urbanisation were widening the demand-supply gap and worsening the country's water-stress index. "The situation calls for judicious management of our limited water resources and the paradigm shift in our approach...We, therefore, need to rise above political, ideological and regional differences," he said.
