LONDON, January 8, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
- OTC Stocks Review: Fannie Mae, Nokia Corp, World Moto, Inc.
U.S. consumers likely increased their borrowing during November, as many started spending for the holidays and consumers in the Northeast began replacing cars damaged by Hurricane Sandy. Economists forecast that consumer borrowing rose $10.8 billion in November compared with October. The Federal Reserve is due to release the report at 3 p.m. EST Tuesday.
World Moto, Inc. (OTC: FARE) continued to rise in Tuesday's trading session on Wall Street with the stock closing at 0.30 cents per share. FARE has traded from 0.06 cents - 0.30 cents since December 15th giving investors that have held the stock gains north of 500%. The volume on FARE was also substantial with $21 million being traded.
Nokia Corp (OTC: NOKBF) also continued to trade heavier than normal volume through this first full trading week of the year. NOKBF was higher by 3% on $6.7 million in Monday's trading. The stock has been edging up with small gains for the last 6 months now making it one of the top performing technology stocks in the market over that period of time.

The basic integration architecture, as defined by ESBs, hasn't changed for more than a decade. Most cloud integration providers still rely on an ESB architecture and their proprietary connectors. As a result, enterprise integration projects suffer from constraints of availability and reliability of these connectors that are not re-usable across other integration vendors. However, the rapid adoption of APIs and almost ubiquitous availability of APIs amongst most SaaS and Cloud applications are rapidly redefining traditional integration approaches and their reliance on proprietary connectors. ...

The works of García Lorca, internationally recognized as Spain's most prominent lyric poet and dramatist of the twentieth century, are filled with thinly veiled homosexual motifs and themes.
There has always been homosexual involvement in American musical theatre and a homosexual sensibility even in straight musicals, and recently the Broadway musical has welcomed openly homosexual themes and situations.
Best known for his genius in art and architecture, Michelangelo was also an accomplished author of homoerotic poetry.
The African-American gay male literary tradition consists of a substantial body of texts and includes some of the most gifted writers of the twentieth century.
Combining elements of incongruity, theatricality, and exaggeration, camp is a form of humor that helps homosexuals cope with a hostile environment.
Langston Hughes, whose literary legacy is enormous and varied, was closeted, but homosexuality was an important influence on his literary imagination, and many of his poems may be read as gay texts.
James Baldwin, a pioneering figure in twentieth-century literature, wrote sustained and articulate challenges to American racism and mandatory heterosexuality.
Oscar Wilde is important both as an accomplished writer and as a symbolic figure who exemplified a way of being homosexual at a pivotal moment in the emergence of gay consciousness.
Barney Frank.
In announcing his decision not to stand for re-election, Frank said that after his district was recently redrawn, it became clear that he would have to campaign harder than he wanted for re-election. Although he had intended to serve one more term, he changed his mind after seeing his redrawn district, which would give him more than 300,000 new constituents and would not include some areas that have supported him most strongly.
Frank said a potentially tough re-election battle would have distracted him from his policy priorities, such as pushing for federal deficit reduction to include cuts in military spending and continuing to advocate for changes in the financial industry.
Observing that he has "the longest uncompleted Ph.D. thesis in Harvard history haunting" him, he said that he hoped to teach and write in the coming years.
Upon learning of Frank's decision not to seek re-election, President Obama issued this statement: "This country has never had a Congressman like Barney Frank, and the House of Representatives will not be the same without him. For over 30 years, Barney has been a fierce advocate for the people of Massachusetts and Americans everywhere who needed a voice. He has worked tirelessly on behalf of families and businesses and helped make housing more affordable. He has stood up for the rights of LGBT Americans and fought to end discrimination against them. And it is only thanks to his leadership that we were able to pass the most sweeping financial reform in history designed to protect consumers and prevent the kind of excessive risk-taking that led to the financial crisis from ever happening again. Barney's passion and his quick wit will be missed in the halls of Congress, and Michelle and I join the people of the Bay State in thanking him for his years of service."
In 1987, Frank became the first U.S. Congressman to voluntarily come out as gay when, in response to a question posed by a Boston Globe reporter, he acknowledged his homosexuality. The acknowledgment was met with overwhelming support from his constituents, who re-elected him with 70% of the vote.
He survived a scandal in 1989 when Stephen Gobie, a hustler and convicted felon, who had worked as Frank's housekeeper and driver for two years beginning in 1985, claimed that Frank knew that he had been running a prostitution ring out of his townhouse, a charge that Frank vehemently denied.
As a result of an investigation into the Gobie affair, in 1990 Frank was reprimanded by the House of Representatives, but survived votes calling for his expulsion and his censure.
In another incident that made the news, Frank was slandered by House Majority Leader Dick Armey, who referred to him as "Barney Fag."
But Frank was known for giving as good as he got. When asked if he wanted an apology from Armey, he quipped, "I'm trying to think of what I would be less interested in than an apology from Dick Armey--maybe the lyrics to the national anthem of Bhutan."
He recently described Republican Presidential candidate Newt Gingrich, who has denied being a lobbyist, as "both a lobbyist and a liar."
After the passage of the bill that led to the repeal of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell," Frank responded to social conservatives who accused him of pushing a "radical homosexual agenda." Here is his explanation of the "radical homosexual agenda":
During his retirement announcement Frank could not resist taking a swipe at Newt Gingrich and the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA):

The human cost of the Greek financial crisis
27 Mar 2010 07:21 GMT | Latin America, Peru
In Peru it is estimated that up to 80 per cent of the country's population could be living in urban areas by 2030.
With half of Peru's economic activity based in the capital, Lima, it will put enormous pressure on the city's already floundering services.
Many of the country's poor come to Lima in search of work. As the city cannot accomodate the numbers, many migrants end up building their own homes in run-down areas on the outskirts of the city.
Most of them lack basic services like running water and sewage systems.
Al Jazeera's Barbara Benitez reports from Lima.

Former DHS CIO Richard Spires addresses a crowd gathered in his honor. (FCW photo by Frank Konkel)
Standing before a large crowd of friends and former colleagues gathered to recognize him on July 29, Richard Spires turned visibly emotional.
Spires, former Department of Homeland Security CIO, was clearly proud of an eight-year federal legacy that – at least on this night – seemed untainted by the strange circumstances under which he left government employment, yet also humbled to be appreciated by so many who came out in his honor.
Spires took the stage following a lengthy ramp-up in which person after person spoke highly of his integrity, character and work ethic. AFCEA Bethesda, GITEC, TechAmerica and AFFIRM sponsored the event, held at the National Press Club in Washington.
Richard Spires: Eagle Award winner
Why is Richard Spires on leave?
DHS acting CIO Margie Graves praised his leadership; acting and former DHS component CIOs expressed gratitude for his hard-nosed approach to federal IT efficiency; and several other DHS employees, other feds and industry leaders thanked him for his service.
The theme of their remarks was perhaps best summed up by Justice Department CIO Luke McCormack, who previously served alongside Spires as the CIO of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) at DHS. McCormack made light of Spires' intense work ethic before highlighting the need for a sometimes-tenacious CIO at large agencies like DHS.
"Richard laid out thought processes and astute observations," McCormack said. "He would listen for a moment, and then put the pedal to the metal. We understood where the goal line was, where the compass was headed. That was exactly what DHS needed at the time."
When it was finally his turn to speak, Spires briefly addressed his departure from DHS—he resigned in May after two months on an unexplained leave -- with a touch of humor, and spent the next several minutes hinting as his plans before highlighting the growing importance of IT in federal government.
"I left on some interesting terms," Spires said, drawing laughs and prompting a few red faces in the crowd. "People can professionally disagree, and there were some disagreements. Given those disagreements, I made the decision to leave. I'm going to miss government."
Consulting on his own right now, Spires did not rule out another government gig, but he is expected to return to the private sector, where he first made a name for himself before becoming one of the most recognizable figures in federal IT. Spires served four years at the Internal Revenue Services and another four at DHS, where he managed a $6.4 billion IT portfolio and saw considerable successes in implementing federal cost-savings initiatives.
In addition, Spires was vice-chairman of the federal CIO Council.
"Never say never, I'm not that old," Spires said, speaking of whether he'd ever be a fed again. "Maybe someday I'll return to government, but I'm getting more excited about easing back into the private sector."
"I can't imagine not staying part of this community," he added, "so you're going to get to see me around, whether you want to or not. I want to continue to have the government operate more efficiently."

Ever since Microsoft released the first and only Windows 7 beta, there's been a lot of hype around the new operating system - we had
an early look at Windows 7
shortly after the beta came out back in January and came away impressed. The development schedule has been incredibly smooth, running almost perfectly and hitting key milestones with accuracy normally only associated with Swiss watchmakers.
This was in stark contrast to Vista's long road to release, which saw delays, feature culling and a final product that wasn't everything it should have been. Combine that with the horrible driver support from many manufacturers (and
especially Nvidia
from a gamer's point of view) and you have a recipe for disaster. Not surprisingly, most PC users stuck with their old friend Windows XP. Microsoft recognised this, and it looks as if it has listened to consumers' major bugbears with Vista. For want of a better way of describing it, Microsoft has essentially
Vista and the result is arguably Microsoft's best operating system to date.
Vista's problems started long before you even got around to installing the OS though - the mess of versions really didn't help consumers make the choice that best suited their needs (
or maybe it did, by keeping them away from Vista? - Ed.
). Microsoft had gone from the simple three-tiered approach adapted for Windows XP - Home, MCE and Professional - to no fewer than five versions of Vista, and a confusing choice of four in the shops. Worse still, some versions lacked features that were present in cheaper versions, making people think the whole version scheme was a sneaky ploy to make people buy the exorbitant Ultimate Edition.
Windows 7 takes a step back from Vista's craziness, with just three main versions – Home Premium, Professional and Ultimate – with clearly defined feature sets. Microsoft has a great breakdown of what each of the three versions includes
on its website
and we've simplified this in the table below.
Windows 7 Home Premium establishes a baseline feature set, with the pricier versions adding more features. Crucially, no features are removed as you move up the price scale as they were on Vista, so every version of Windows 7 includes Media Center, for example. Microsoft includes both 32-bit and 64-bit editions of each version in the full retail box, but we'd recommend skipping the 32-bit version if your CPU supports x86-64 extensions, as it enables you
to address more memory and register space
, which can result in better application performance.
Pretty much every recent desktop CPU since the original Athlon 64 supports 64-bit, although some Atom and similar low-power CPUs don't. Many applications have 64-bit executables to deliver extra performance, but Windows 7 supports both 32-bit and 64-bit applications, so you shouldn't see incompatibility problems. For example, Photoshop Elements 7 doesn't have a native 64-bit executable, yet it still runs flawlessly on 64-bit Windows 7.
Windows 7 version comparison
A fourth edition, Windows 7 Starter, won't be sold in shops and will only be pre-installed on netbooks. This naturally doesn't follow the same feature set as the fully fledged versions of Windows 7 - but it doesn't need to, frankly. The number of applications running concurrently has been limited to three, Aero mode has been removed and so has Media Center - these are hardly likely to cause problems a netbook, but we will be looking at running a full version of Windows 7 on a netbook very soon.
Home Premium is the best choice for most people, but there are reasons to look beyond it, even if you're not running a business. For example, even the 64-bit version of Home Premium is limited to addressing a maximum of 16GB of system memory, and it can only be used on single-socket systems. If you're running a dual-processor workstation, you'll need Professional or Ultimate.
Professional and Ultimate also include Windows XP Mode, which runs a fully fledged version of Windows XP Service Pack 3 in a virtual machine. This is a great addition for businesses who are concerned that their applications won't run natively in Windows 7 because it enables them to run in a familiar environment. However, there is one more provision that you need to consider on top of buying a more expensive version of Windows 7 - you will need a CPU with built-in virtualisation support, otherwise the virtual machine will not start.
Microsoft has made it easy to upgrade from one version of Windows 7 to the next – you can use Microsoft's Windows Anytime Upgrade (WAU) system to upgrade on the fly. Admittedly, WAU pricing isn't as attractive as buying the right edition in the first place – the upgrade from Home Premium to Professional costs £120. Add that to the £65 or so that you paid for Windows 7 Home Premium in the first place, and you pay almost 25 per cent more than if you'd chosen the right version first time around.

Ouch! Yahoo lists the 10 worst movies of 2013
As the new year approaches, media outlets begin to release their ever-so-loveable series of lists. While many will celebrate the greatest moments in 2013, some take a more demoralizing approach.
Such is the case with the people over at Yahoo Movies, who released a list of the 10 wost films in 2013 on Wednesday.
Yahoo took care of the dirty work. We're here to pass along the news in case you still wanted to see these lousy flicks.
See the complete list in the gallery below. Make sure to visit Yahoo for their commentary on why these films failed.

Arizona Diamondbacks
D-backs GM: Archie Bradley looks like 'a young Chris Carpenter'
When the Arizona Diamondbacks traded Trevor Bauer in the offseason, they did so for a multitude of reasons.
Besides concerns over his personality and ability to pitch at the major league level, one of them is the fact that the organization is deep in top-level pitching prospects.
So, at least in their eyes, Bauer was expendable.
One such prospect is Archie Bradley who, like Bauer, was selected in the 2011 MLB Draft, albeit four spots later.
"Archie Bradley, in our system, we think somebody that has a chance to be a legitimate number one-type starter in the big leagues," Towers told Arizona Sports 620's Doug and Wolf Wednesday. "He was a football quarterback, he's athletic, he's got a power arm with a power breaking ball.
"He reminds me so much of a young Chris Carpenter."
That wouldn't be so bad, as Carpenter has racked up 144 career wins, a 3.76 ERA, three All-Star appearances, a Cy Young award and two World Series championships.
But Bradley, who is just 20, has pitched just one full minor league season, going 12-6 with a 3.84 ERA for Single-A South Bend. He struck out 152 in 136 innings while walking 84. He's a raw talent, but a talent nonetheless.
And one Towers is not afraid to place expectations on.
"This kid would be disappointed if he wasn't a number one," he said, admitting Bradley still has to work his way through the system. "It's just a matter of time before he gets up here, I think, and really has a chance to dominate."

Originally written on Pats Propaganda | Last updated 12/4/12
Two breakout games and then a broken foot, Patriots move Julian Edelman to IR ending his season. Patriots Re-Sign Donte' Stallworth; Place Julian Edelman on IR; Release Mitch Petrus; Signed 2 to Practice Squad: patriots.com/news/article-1… — New England Patriots (@Patriots) December 4, 2012 The real impact of this will be felt in the punt return game where Edelman's explosiveness is irreplaceable. Now the Patriots will be forced to use Wes Welker more in that role and he's already dinged up as it is. Perhaps they'll see if Donte Stallworth has anything to offer in that area. Not a crippling blow but definitely a significant loss that will have to be overcome, with no clear depth for replacement.

Editorial: Collier County bee ... Seacrest Country Day School second-time winner may turn out to be national champ
Second verse, same as the first?
Maybe — and maybe not.
It's true that Seacrest Country Day School eighth grader, Jonathan Nativi, will represent Collier County for the second year in a row in the Scripps National Spelling Bee in Washington starting June 1.
This time, however, he might just make it as the national champ.
Let's see.
He bested 50 other contestants from public and private middle schools to win the Collier bee the other evening. Nativi will be jointed by Tatyana Kim from Fort Myers, winner of the Lee bee, to represent Southwest Florida. They will be proudly sponsored by the Daily News for the competition sponsored by this newspaper's parent organization, Scripps.
We wish both of them well — and congratulate all the others who competed.
Their talents are awesome.

Originally written on BlackSportsOnline | Last updated 3/19/13
The debate about who the best coach of all time and who the best quarterback of all time can be carried for hours. The list of all time great coaches worthy of being the best ever may not be that long, but the debate about who the best quarterback of all time won't be settled in one conversation that's for sure. One man in particular thinks he has the best of both worlds. Patriots owner Robert Kraft was on Pro Football Talk and confidently told Mike Florio that his coach and quarterback are the best to ever do it at their respective positions. "I don't think there's been one in the history of the NFL — I think we're privileged to have, probably, the finest coach and the finest quarterback, and we happen to have them at the same time," Kraft said. "It's going to be hard to win continuously without a good coach and a good quarterback. Next season, please God, will be our 20th season. And we've hired two coaches in that time — two head coaches — and we've had two quarterbacks start for our team in those 20 seasons." I'll let my readers be the judge of this.

Hyde produced its first system in 1999 and installed its first system on the M/S Coral Princess in 2003. The Hyde system was the first accepted into USCG STEP program in October of 2008. Hyde GUARDIAN has now been installed or specified on over 160 ships (200+ systems), and is most commonly found in use in the cruise, parcel tanker and container markets.
Hyde's GUARDIAN features a two-stage process; stacked disk filtration to remove sediment and larger organisms, and a UV disinfection unit to kill or inactivate smaller plankton, bacteria and other pathogens. During ballasting, water is processed through both filter and UV stages. All captured solids and organisms are discharged during backflushing to the location they entered. During de-ballasting, the filter is bypassed and water flows only through the UV system before discharging overboard. Hyde GUARDIAN system and ballast operation data are automatically logged.
Hyde GUARDIAN uses a high intensity ultraviolet (UV) treatment as a means of disinfection. The UV chamber is designed for minimum pressure drop, maximum retention time, and compatibility with the marine operating environment. The medium pressure lamps produce a polychromatic output across the entire spectrum of the germicidal curve and have an expected service life of up to 8,000 hours.
The Hyde GUARDIAN Ballast Water Treatment Systems have IMO Type Approval for capacity from 60 to 6000 cu. m./hr., and a Type Approval Certificate has been issued by Lloyd's Register on behalf of the UK Maritime and Coastguard Agency to confirm compliance with Guidelines contained in IMO resolution MEPC.174(58). Other certifications include ABS, Dutch Flag State, Russian Maritime Registry of Shipping, DNV (Hazardous Area Certification) and DNV EC-Type Examination Certification.

text: The Jonni Thunder wiki last edited by RaggedScarecrow on 11/26/14 01:38PM View full history OriginJonni Thunder is a private detective from DC comics Earth 2. Her powers come from a small gold statue that give her the ability to turn into living lightning. When she used it though, her human body was left behind.CreationJonni was created by Roy Thomas, and she first appeared in a 4-issue miniseries in 1985, Jonni Thunder AKA Thunderbolt.Major Story ArcsJonni is the daughter of the late Jim Thunder, an LA based PI who was previously a movie stunt man and a member of the LAPD. When Jonni was still a child, Arthur C. "Sparky" Dobbs found a statuette of a woman who resembled a lightning bolt in South America. The statue is said to be formed from an Inca sacrificial stone by the hand of Apu Illapu, the Inca god of lightning.In California, Dobbs was arrested and sent to jail for smuggling. Feeling grateful to Jim Thunder for protecting him from police brutality, Dobbs gave him the statuette.Years later, just before he died, Jim Thunder made his daughter Jonni his partner. On hearing that Thunder had died, Dobbs had his associate, William Smike, make a deal with Thunder's former associate, film director Slim Chance, to get him out of prison. When Dobbs tried to double cross Smike and Chance, Smike shot Dobbs, who made it to Jonni Thunder's office before dying. Smike tried to take the statue from Jonni at gunpoint. Suddenly the statue filled Jonni with strange energy, her body collapsed and her consciousness was inside a humanoid energy form resembling the statue.The statue was later stolen by private investigator Harrison Trump for Dobbs' widow, an exotic dancer and electrical genius known as "Red Nails." Red Nails intended to use the tremendous electrical energy within the statue to power a "plasmonic gun" capable of firing ball lightning, and then sell it to the highest bidder. But the statuette was now useless, because all of its electrical energy had been transferred into Jonni Thunder's body.The New 52Earth 2: World's EndJonni was seen with John Constantine, Obsidian, Brainwave Jr., and Karnevil on Earth-2, where she was being stored in the World Army's Arkham Base. She is briefly surprised when Constantine pulls a gun on Obsidian, after Karnevil refuses to work with him due to the former being African-American, but seems relieved when John instead shoots Karnevil and seems resolved to work with him. She is also seen with her gold statue and the source of her powers.
