The Middle East is on fire. As waves of populist, ethnic and religious unrest sweep the region, long-established regimes totter like ninepins, violent conflicts explode in once-quiet countries, and all the rules seem up for grabs.
The Israeli-Palestinian peace process is on life support and Iran is marching steadily toward obtaining a nuclear weapon. And even as President Obama assures us that he has Israel's back and 'will not countenance' Iran getting a nuclear weapon, as he did this week, his administration speaks about 'leading from behind' and of a 'pivot toward Asia.'
Many observers see all this as reflecting a sharp decline in American power. But the reality is more complicated and less dramatic. The reality is that the United States remains the paramount power in the region and will remain committed to it for a long time to come.
In all the tumult and upheaval, it's easy to miss the main point: America's interests in the Middle East remain simple and in relatively good shape. The U.S. wants a balance of power in the region that prevents any power or coalition of powers inside or outside the region from being able to block the flow of oil to world markets by military means. It wants Israel to be secure. And in the middle to long term, it hopes to see the establishment of stable, democratic governments that can foster economic growth and peace.
If it must, the U.S. will act directly and on its own to achieve these goals. But given its global responsibilities and the multitude of issues in which it is concerned, the U.S. by nature is a burden-sharing rather than a limelight-hogging power. It prefers to work with allies and partners, preferably regional partners.
In today's Middle East, core U.S. goals enjoy wide, even unprecedented support. As the Sunni Arab world joins hands with Europe, pushes back against Iran, and works to overthrow Syria's Bashar al-Assad, a strong coalition has formed around Washington's most urgent regional priority—the Iranian drive for regional hegemony capped by its nuclear program.
France and the Arab League cursed the U.S. when it invaded Iraq in 2003; in 2011 they seconded and promoted the overthrow of Libya's Gaddafi. Turkey hesitated but joined. Now, as the crisis in Syria sharpens once again, U.S. objectives command enormous support across the region.
If this is decline, we could use more of it.
Yet those who believe the U.S. can now turn its full attention on Asia, ignoring the unhappy Middle East, miss the degree to which U.S. interests remain deeply bound up in the fate of the region. In recent weeks, rising Middle East tensions have helped drive up the price of gasoline in the U.S. More price increases will anger voters, scare consumers, and could well knock the nascent U.S. economic recovery on its head.
For President Obama, those developments would pretty much doom his re-election efforts. The same will be true of his successors. Even as the U.S. reduces its direct dependence on Middle East oil, the global nature of the world oil market, and the effect of supply insecurity in other major markets, which affect our economy given the globalization of commerce, means that American presidents will simply not be able to set this region off to the side. It is easier to pivot toward Asia than to pivot away from the Middle East. The reality is that the U.S. will have to walk and chew gum at the same time.

Redwood Theater was packed and people had to be turned away Thursday night for the Brookings-Harbor High School sophomore class talent show.
All seats, a row of chairs in the back and a row of chairs in the front were filled. A few people stood along the walls for the event titled "A Night on the Town."
Five judges heard 17 performers during the night. All of the performers presented musical talents.
Winning the first place trophy was Take 28, a rap duo consisting of Skylar Shuford and Andrew Troendle. They performed their original song and dance called "The American Hat Dance." Shuford and Troendle also danced with Alex and the Coolettes, consisting of Alex Riddle, Kari Howe and Kelsey Barnes.
Also winning trophies were second place, Kayla Hamm, performing her original composition, "The Art of Life" on piano; Mariah Gurney performing "I Can't Get You"; and Chris Neighbor who played the fast-paced "Turkish March" on the piano while blindfolded.
While judges tallied their ballots, a group of teachers calling themselves Staff Infection entertained the audience.
Judges were Jerry Moffit, retired music educator; Hayley McElle, choreographer and dance studio owner; Johnathon Lee, music store owner and record producer; Megan Walters, instrumentalist and vocalist; and Steve Poponi, Brookings-Harbor School District board president. Tallying the votes was Susan Itzen, music teacher.
Between acts, Jackson DeHaven, Kelly Aldrich and Nicole Cuoco exchanged banter about the performers.
The talent show is one of the biggest fundraisers for the class of 2010. Proceeds go toward class activities, the most costly being the 2009 prom.
Also performing were Richard McMaster and Dustin Maertz, and later McMaster performed solo; Matthew Miller; Rebecca Brickley; Steven Dornbush; Colleen Gibson; Ally Manley; Tony Chierichetti; Amber Peterson and Athena Campbell; Jessie and Andrew Goergen; Emily Fettig; and Jeremy Collins.

What Are The Procedure To Get Money Back For Failed Transaction With ATM
Member Level:
: 20
In this article I shall let you know regarding the teller machine (ATM) miss transaction reversal of money into the bank account. We are facing this type of transaction problem from ATM frequently. No need of get panic follow the below mention procedure for that and your money will credit back into your account.
Overview of miss transaction
Some time when we are withdrawing money from the
automatic teller machine
(ATM), the money is not coming out from the ATM. But the transaction was done that time from the bank account and money is debited from your account. But actually customer did not receive the money from the ATM. We mostly face this problem frequently from the ATM. ATM's are centralized with the bank database electronically. This happen sometime the sever of the bank is not work properly, sever is slow and many more reason for that.
Always keep that transaction slip with you for that miss transaction. This is one of important document required for reversal of transaction money back into the bank account. This slip contains important things like.
ATM Address from where transaction took place
Time of transaction
Date of transaction
ATM ID number
Debit card number mostly four last digit of your debit card
Account number mostly four last digit of your debit card
Txn no
Response code
What procedure you have to do reversal of that money into your account
Keep the original transaction slip
transaction slip
one of the most important document which will help you to claim the money from the bank. Some time when we are going for withdrawing the money from the ATM the paper is not available in the ATM machine. ATM machine gives the warning the paper is not available do want to proceed the transaction. Simply cancels that transition that time and go to other ATM which paper in the ATM for the receipt.
Make Xerox copy of the original Transaction slip
we have copy or scan the original transaction slip because after 5-6 days the ink of the transaction slip is going to faint. We cannot read the number from transaction slip.
Register the complaint through bank call centre
for logging the complaint against your money we have to call the
customer care
of the bank. Give the all required detail to customer care executive. After register the complaint don not forget to get the reference number of you compliant from the customer care executive for future communication with the bank and customer care. From that complaint reference number, it's very easy to track the status of you compliant.
Register complaint by e-mail
you can also log the compliant by sending the e-mail to the concern bank. The purpose of the e-mail is that you have written proof the compliant. Sometimes if its delay bank to reversal of the money, you can show that mail to them as a proof. Written complaint is always better than verbal complaints.
Inform the bank regarding this Complaint
you have to inform to your personal bank regarding this lodged complaint in the customer care, that I did not receive the money from the atm. But transaction is done by the atm. So that bank will take some necessary steps to solve your problem and revered the money back into your account without much delay.
Settlement time of the reversal of the money
Bank has to credit your money within 12 days after lodging the compliant in the bank. As per
Reserve Bank of India
guidelines if the bank is unable to credit the money into your account then you are eligible to get Rs 100 per day from the bank as penalty for not crediting the money into your account within the time frame. So earlier we lodge the complaint is better for to get the money back from the bank.
You have to wait for 12 days after lodge the complaint then check your account balance that your money is credited into your bank account or not. If money is not credit into your account then you have to next step as per your connivance.
We have to take little bit precautions while withdrawing money from the ATM. Do not cancel the transaction while ATM is processing you data from the server. Before withdrawing the money from the ATM check there is paper is inside the ATM machine or not. For that you can check from the security guard from the ATM. Because transition slip is very must for every transaction with ATM.

This is the great article posted by the author and many of us are facing the failed transaction at ATM's and worried about the money that was never taken from the machine. It happened to me in Chennai. I just put my card in the SBI ATM machine at Triplicane, I could not receive the money, but printed receipt already debited with 2000. Stunned over this I called the account number branch of mine. He assured not to panic and the things will settle. While I was still not convinced with his promise, I received the message frm my mobile that the withdrawal has been restored.

Peru to Open OLPC Factories, Will Distribute 1 Millionth XO Laptop by End of 2011
Posted By Brit Liggett On April 8, 2011 @ 11:18 am In Design,green gadgets,Green Technology,Innovation,News,Social Design,social responsibility | No Comments
Alan Garcia, the President of Peru, just announced that the country will be handing out their one millionth XO laptop [1] by the end of this year and will soon be building manufacturing facilities to build the laptops locally. The One Laptop Per Child [1] (OLPC) program created the XO laptop as an inexpensive tool for children around the world to learn with. The OLPC program in Peru has a goal to have laptops in 100% of the country's public primary schools by the end of 2011.
"Being the largest deployment worldwide, Peru is an outstanding example of OLPC. We hope to see other countries establish manufacturing facilities of the scale and magnitude of Peru's. Local manufacturing of XO laptops will enable Peru both to transform education and to make important investments in its economy," said Rodrigo Arboleda, CEO of OLPC [1]. It was also announced that additionally, 20,000 schools will get LEGO WeDo kits — easy to use kits that teach kids about robotics — in addition to the 92,000 that are already distributed.
Some of the Peruvian schools receiving laptops this year will be among the first to get their hands on the XO-1.75 [2], a new laptop developed by OLPC that lowers its power consumption with a new energy chip — making it one of the most energy efficient laptop around. These low-energy computers are essential in some parts of Peru, where electricity isn't available to communities. The XO laptop costs about $35 to produce and currently over 2 million children around the world are learning with the OLPC program.

Media Matters for America, the progressive journalistic watchdog group, is patting itself on the back today for discovering that most of the the syndicated columns in the nation's newspapers skew conservative. So much for the myth of the liberal media.
"This project did something that has never been done before: It amassed data on the syndicated columnists published by nearly every daily newspaper in the country... The results show that in paper after paper, state after state, and region after region, conservative syndicated columnists get more space than their progressive counterparts."
For instance, the MM study concludes:
Sixty percent of the nation's daily newspapers print more conservative syndicated columnists every week than progressive syndicated columnists. Only 20 percent run more progressives than conservatives, while the remaining 20 percent are evenly balanced.
The initial inclination of many readers to this might be, so what? After all, newspaper circulations have long been declining so why should it matter, even to an outfit named Media Matters, that most of the columnists they carry are conservative?
MM anticipated this reaction:
Though they have suffered slow but steady declines in readership over the last couple of decades, newspapers remain in many ways the most important of all news media. The Newspaper Association of America estimates that each copy of a weekday paper is read by an average of 2.1 adults, while each Sunday paper is read by an average of 2.5 adults,3 pushing total newspaper readership for daily papers to more than 116 million and Sunday papers to more than 134 million. This means that some columnists reach tens of millions of readers, and one, conservative George Will, actually reaches more than 50 million.
There's one explanation for MM's results which has nothing to do with a nefarious conservative cabal running the newspaper industry.
Demographically, newspaper readers tend to be older than non-newspaper readers. An older audience is likely to be more conservative. Newspapers are generally in business to be profitable. That means, more often than not, providing consumers with products that reflect their tastes. Thus, more conservative syndicated columnists than not.
While all of us in the newspaper industry will readily agree with MM that newspapers remain important sources of news and information, the growth of the Internet, particularly of blogs, especially of the political variety, suggests that the nation isn't exactly starved for a diversity of political viewpoints. Never have so many been able to say so much to so many others.
So even though newspapers collectively may carry more syndicated conservative than progressive columnists, maybe it doesn't really matter as much as Media Matters would have us believe.

I just don't get it.
I've been on this site for 28 years and still to this day no one has responded to me.
I mean when I first joined right after getting my passkey to the Internet directly from Al Gore, I got my account here. Of course then the place was known as ADD. (Adult Ditz Doctor) The tagline was, "A 100% Free Ham Sandwich and Levitation Site." Within mere days of joining my ham sandwich arrived in the mail, hermetically sealed for my protection of course, only the best for us early adopters.
But ever since then I've tried to levitate. I've chatted with bots about levitation. I've winked at everyone trying to find someone who is into levitation. I've thouroughly filled out a profile making it perfectly clear that although I am married, I am indeed interested in levitation.
I tried e-mailing every single female profile on the site, and every single new female profile that comes on, "Hey I'm pudge, wanna levitate?" I've started on the men now too, why the fuck not?
I particularly like the profiles with the minimum 3 questions filled out and the very very pretty pictures. Those gals always respond to me, they always want me to e-mail them somewhere else though.... hmmm I wonder if there's A FUCKING PATTERN HERE!!!!? (Dipshits.)
So I ask you... Every stinking one of you... Why when it says free levitation site can I not find a woman who will levitate with me, or talk about levitation, or respond to my incessant requests for levitation. I have not read a single blog that reflects this desire for levitation that I have, so I'm quite positive that I am completely unique in getting the big NADA on the whole levitation thing.
By the way I'm going to edit all comments so I don't look like a stupid fucker when someone tells me levitation isn't actually possible and I should get real. Get real yourself I just know my tactics are fucking FLAWLESS and it's all you haters that simply don't wanna levitate. Why are you here anyway??? Fucking gravity followers...
(This blog is gonna work.... this blog is gonna work... this blog is gonna work... I just know it's gonna work I can feel the adoration pouring over me.... I'm getting lighter already I just know it....)

Puts a whole new outlook on the term wanna get high?
Pudge, I as of this date, have emailed you 75 1/2 times, (the half was when i ran out of my quota of free emails and is still pending on my hard drive) wanna fuck emails and as of this date you havent opened any of them.
Jun 21 @ 11:41AM
Huh? You can fuck here?
That's news!
Jun 21 @ 11:50AM
Well, damn it all. I thought all this talk of levitation was heresay and urban legend.
Jun 21 @ 12:05PM
Pudge, I think part of your problem is that looking4funat45 started a rumor that when you levitate it only raises 3 inches.
Jun 21 @ 12:06PM
See... Like a guy that wears all that metal can rise at all!! Gravity lover!

Pudge, I think part of your problem is that looking4funat45 started a rumor that when you levitate it only raises 3 inches.
No swyeter I said that about you and its the truth
Jun 21 @ 12:11PM
hang in there pudge. there are some good levitators on this site. you just have to beleive. don't let the naysayers get you down. if levitation weren't possible, why would there be a leitation website? i rest my case.
Jun 21 @ 12:33PM
Levitation is not real. It has never been real, or at any time will it ever become real. Any sightings or mass sightings of levitation are wholly the product of hallucinations.

This fucking guy KILLS me!
And I think U know how often I give those away, U fuck. BTW, levitation and being light in the loafers iz not quite the same thing, but thank U 4 playing and please accept this year's supply of baked beans as a consolation prize.

Fucking, Lintroller! He was supposed to keep the drug cabinet locked and GUARDED!
Jun 21 @ 4:44PM
Well my young grasshopper,I have come back briefly to hold your fucking hand again,but I swear by all that is evil and bad in me, this is the last fucking time!!!
Remember the ruby slippers you have? Just put them on, then click your heals together three time while repeating: I want to levitate,I want to levitate,I want to levitate; it's that simple dumbass!!! Oh and a demented kudo for you.
Jun 21 @ 6:34PM
typical newbie. I don't know how many times we can explain this to the uninitiated, pudge, but levitation sites are just hype. Now if it's free sex that you're looking for, I hear that's not much of an issue around here.
Fucking, Lintroller! He was supposed to keep the drug cabinet locked and GUARDED!
All right, all right, I'm sorry! But if I'm going to work 95-hour weeks, I think it's only fair to ask that I spend a significant portion of the other 73 asleep or taking snack breaks. It takes a village, Bright-Eyes!
Jun 21 @ 7:03PM
28 yrs and ya still have not made the "clique" the "inner circle" OMG...... it maybe time to give it up ......

If you're out of college, on your own and driving your parents' car, you have two main options:
1. Buy the car from your parents.
- It's the least complicated.
- As the policyholder, you can begin building your own insurance track record.
- If your parents are no longer on the car title, they no longer have any liability. Then you're free to purchase the appropriate amount of coverage for your needs, Newman says. Chances are you have fewer financial assets to protect than your folks do.

I have been doing chess exercises in a book called "Practical Chess Exercises" by Ray Cheng. The exercises are a mix of tactics and strategy exercises. So far I have gotten 3 out of 8 or so. The one I just did involved moving a pawn forward. When looking for solutions to chess problems I tend to consider first attacks on the king, next queen moves and then rook and minor piece moves and finally pawn moves. So, it took a long time for me to figure out the puzzle but I did. I imagine that a trained chess player would be able to look at the shape of the board (the arrangement of the pieces on the board) and more quickly zoom in on the correct answer. To be able to do this is one of my goals as a chess player.
I like the Ray Cheng Book, even though I haven't used it in a long while, your post reminds me to open it up more often. It's set up nicely with the answers on the next page, and covers Tactics and Strategy; a point I really like.

So the one and only disposable product in my home is.... Q-tips. I've tried just using the corner of a washcloth and it drove me crazy not getting everything out of my ear. My daughter all ready hates Q-tips with a passion so it will be no problem to get her to switch to the eco friendly alternative, if there is one. So any suggestions for non disposable Q-tips? Perhaps one of you crafty mamas can think of something for me:)
be good family...
i have no clue but my dh is a q-tip freak. i never use them!
Dh used to use them every day, but he quit using them because we couldn't find a non-disposable alternative.
I love Edward and we love our Libby (8/07) and 'Nana' (05/09 ) and Eowyn (11/11) We are having a blast and .
I'm a Q-tip fanatic and take solace in the fact that Q-tip brand name cotton swabs can be composted. Most store-brand cotton swabs have plastic centre parts which need to go in the garbage. It's the only brand name product I'm stuck on.
Perhaps you could write the company asking at very least for non-bleached cotton and explain why you've chosen to stop using their product, but how you're having troubles replacing them?!

If any of you are crafty please create a small bamboo 'q tip' with a sea sponge afixed to the end that won't fall off. I think it is possible, but I have no craft making skills! If anyone makes this I would love to be a tester!
be good family...
It's intended for use with dry flakey wax so it might not work well if you have wetter wax. Traditionally, one person uses it on another person.
Are q-tips really the only disposable thing you have in your home??? I would love to talk to you about how you replaced a number of other typically disposable items with reusables. :)
Try searching ear pick on Amazon. I did and got a number of interesting listings:

Study Links Osteoporosis Drugs With Fractures »
"May 4, 2011 -- The osteoporosis drugs known as bisphosphonates increase the risk of getting unusual thigh bone fractures, as experts have suspected, according to a new Swedish study.
But these fractures are infrequent and the risk is "...
Read the Study Links Osteoporosis Drugs With Fractures article »
(zoledronic acid) for Intravenous Infusion
Reclast contains zoledronic acid, a bisphosphonic acid which is an inhibitor of osteoclastic bone resorption. Zoledronic acid is designated chemically as (1-Hydroxy-2-imidazol-1-yl-phosphonoethyl) phosphonic acid monohydrate and its structural formula is:
Zoledronic acid monohydrate is a white crystalline powder. Its molecular formula is C5H10N2O7P2 • H2O and a molar mass of 290.1 g/Mol. Zoledronic acid monohydrate is highly soluble in 0.1N sodium hydroxide solution, sparingly soluble in water and 0.1N hydrochloric acid, and practically insoluble in organic solvents. The pH of the Reclast solution for infusion is approximately 6.0 – 7.0.
Reclast Injection is available as a sterile solution in bottles for intravenous infusion. One bottle with 100 mL solution contains 5.330 mg of zoledronic acid monohydrate, equivalent to 5 mg zoledronic acid on an anhydrous basis.
Inactive Ingredients: 4950 mg of mannitol, USP; and 30 mg of sodium citrate, USP.
What are the possible side effects of zoledronic acid (Reclast, Zometa)?
Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Call your doctor at once if you have a serious side effect such as:
- urinating less than usual or not at all;
- drowsiness, confusion, mood changes, increased thirst, loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting;
- swelling, weight gain, feeling short of breath;
- muscle spasms, numb or tingly feeling (especially around your mouth);
- fever, chills, body aches, flu...

What are the precautions when taking zoledronic acid injection (Reclast)?
Before using zoledronic acid, tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are allergic to it; or to other bisphosphonates such as alendronate or risedronate; or if you have trouble breathing (wheezing) after taking aspirin; or if you have any other allergies. This product may contain inactive ingredients, which can cause allergic reactions or other problems. Talk to your pharmacist for more details.
Before using this medication, tell your doctor or pharmacist your medical history, especially of: kidney problems, low calcium levels in the blood, problem taking calcium/vitamin D supplements, recent or planned dental surgery (e.g., tooth removal), certain gut problems (malabsorption, surgery on the small intestine), treatment with zoledronic acid (e.g., for cancer), parathyroid/thyroid...

September 15, 2011
PEPFAR on Wednesday "announced awards for a new initiative totaling $45 million over four years to examine the effectiveness of combination approaches to HIV prevention. These evaluations of combination prevention will be the largest and most robust to date. Data gathered will help partner countries to strengthen their efforts to prevent new infections and save lives," according to a State Department press release. The research will take place in Botswana, South Africa, Tanzania and Zambia. The studies, which will begin in 2011 and 2012, "will be critical to U.S. efforts to maximize the impact and efficiency of investments in order to save as many lives as possible," according to the release (9/14).

Job: Singer, actor, fashionista, artist Sector: Entertainment/Media Twitter: @solangeknowles Location: Brooklyn, N.Y. and New Orleans Age: 27 Bio: As the second child in a famous music-business family, Solange Knowles, known simply as Solange, is certainly "Brooklyn" (where she lives half of the year) as much as her famous sister is "Manhattan." Solange, who is best-known as an alt-hipster-au-natural artist du jour, has continued to elevate her profile by making her customary appearances at Fashion Week and gracing hip magazine covers the world over (see Brooklyn, South African Elle, Fader and Complex this summer). Her bold fashion sense, big natural hair and fabulous mydamnblog page have earned the singer-songwriter a legion of dedicated, artistically inclined fans (and nearly 1.7 million Twitter followers). She is a music-festival darling, and often works with like-minded artists, including Janelle Monáe, on whose "Electric Lady" title track she appears this fall. Ostensibly to tie it all together, Solange started her own Saint Records to be distributed by Sony this year. Visit her website and like her Facebook page. Fun Fact: In 2002, Solange lent her voice to the character Chanel, the cousin of Penny Proud, in the animated TV series The Proud Family. Stephen Lovekin/Getty Images Powered by Livefyre

A brand that dominated AMA off-road racing in the '70s and '80s, Husqvarna will be featured at the 19th annual AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days, July 9-11 at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course in Lexington, Ohio.
"Husqvarna Motorcycles is delighted to be the AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days Marque of the Year for 2010,"says Mark Brady, president of Husqvarna Motorcycles North America. "Launching the new decade with this prestigious recognition is indeed an honor. Everyone at Husqvarna Motorcycles is very much aware of the great history of the brand, and we are determined to bring back the glory days."
A part of that revival is Husqvarna's return to AMA National Enduro racing after a 20-year absence.
"Arguably the most dominant off-road racing brand in the United States for a generation of racers, Husqvarna has recently returned full force to AMA Racing national competition," says Tigra Tsujikawa, AMA special events and marketing manager. "We're pleased to showcase both Husqvarna's history and the company's renewed investment in motorcycling's present and future at this year's AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days."
At AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days, visitors can learn about Husqvarna's history from its start in Sweden in the early 1900s to the latest 2010 off-road and dual-sport models.
Husqvarna had a good 2009, reporting a 9% increase in sales compared to 2009 in the U.S.
"Our sales accelerated through the end of the year, increasing 98% for the last two months of the year!" says Brady. "This is a true testament to both our dedicated dealers and great new products, such as the 250cc model range."

The Health Care Short Sales That Never Fit

Intuitive's da Vinci surgical robot has become nearly ubiquitous in US hospitals and the company's valuation has for years floated far above the earnings growth rate. Bulls have long argued that the da Vinci will become a surgical standard, in procedures ranging from prostatectomies -- a market the company has already fully penetrated -- to gynecologic and general surgery applications. The clinical data are mixed, and no prospective, randomized trials have been conducted. Some historical studies show advantages for the da Vinci -- reduced blood loss or a modestly shorter hospital stay -- while others show equivocal results. Importantly, the clinical data all share one characteristic: da Vinci surgeries cost considerably more than traditional alternatives, minimally invasive or not. Despite this lack of compelling cost effectiveness data, institutions large and small want the marketing benefit of offering robotic surgery. Intuitive has triggered a capital equipment arms race among hospitals. This is especially true in the U.S., where patients demand drugs or technology based on ad campaigns. Ex-U.S., da Vinci growth has been slower due to increased price sensitivity. Bulls contend this too will change over time. The company's sales growth opportunities -- new procedures, increased disposable utilization, limited competition, and ex-U.S. markets -- enable bulls to remain fixated on a long-term vision of global surgery dominance. Unless reality shatters that vision, the persistent disconnect between Intuitive's EPS growth and earnings multiple won't matter. The lesson: If the investor base believes the market for the product is infinite, only extreme disruption to the business will trigger a negative re-rating of the stock. Now let's examine a short idea recently pitched to me that seems to rely solely on valuation: Pharmacyclics (PCYC).As an aside, Celgene's repeated missteps over the past few months -- which I think will trigger involvement by activist investors -- have been magnified by company's unexciting post-Revlimid pipeline. Now, even some of the company's most bullish investors struggle to justify long-term investment case. The Cult: Intuitive Surgical

DEARBORN - An evening filled with the sights and sounds of India, colorful garments, delicious food, enchanting dances, networking opportunities for Ford Motor Company employees and executives all while emphasizing the business case for diversity was the essence of the Ford Asian Indian Association (FAIA) annual banquet held early in November at the Ford Performing Arts Center in Dearborn, Mich.
The event was a substantial showcase of FAIA and the achievements of Indian employees at Ford, highlighting the company's Employee Resource Groups and embracing diversity.
The Ford Chief Operating Officer Mark Fields was the event's executive keynote speaker. The event coincided with the public announcement Fields new leadership position at Ford, making the address his first official presentation since the announcement. He also was joined by several other executives who showed their support by attending the annual affair.
At the event, Fields shared his views on the current state of business and noted that the FAIA event was an experience which he looked forward to attending because of its uniquely 'family feel.' Furthermore, he said that such events help deepen cross-cultural understanding, which develops relationships that drive business success.
The event helped to bring the Ford community together, encouraging the celebration of intercultural understanding that supports economic growth, thus helping FAIA accelerate its goal to Go Further.
Nand Kochhar, FAIA president and chief engineer, Global Product Development, gave an update on the various FAIA initiatives and activities held throughout the year to promote the Ford brand, develop employees and increase community outreach globally.
Vijay Sankaran, FAIA executive champion and director, IT, recognized several FAIA members for excellence as well as contributions in their areas of expertise.
Ford Motor Company has expanded its definition of diversity to include not only race, ethnicity, age and gender, but also many things that make people unique, including backgrounds, opinions, experiences, perspectives and life situations.
The company places emphasis on fostering an inclusive culture that is free of barriers, and in which all employees feel comfortable, valued and able to contribute to their fullest, in order to build high-performing, collaborative teams across its global business.
The FAIA annual event was a prime example of this inclusion of diverse perspectives within Ford, which effectively helps to deliver innovative products that satisfy customers' wants, needs and desires.
FAIA is one of the largest company-sponsored Employee Resource Groups and was formed in 1996. Approximately 550 people from all across Southeast Michigan attended this gala 'sold-out' event.

May 6, 2016
Saturday, December 20, 2008.
DES MOINES, Iowa -- After getting burned by Gene Chizik, Iowa State has turned to Iowan and former Cyclones assistant Paul Rhoads to revive a program that went 2-10 last season and didn't win a Big 12 Conference game.
The Cyclones hired Rhoads away from Auburn -- which had lured Chizik from Iowa State earlier this week.
Rhoads has never been a head coach. He spent last season as the Tigers' defensive coordinator after having the same role with the Pittsburgh Panthers from 2000 to 2007. He was an assistant with the Cyclones under Dan McCarney from 1995 to 1999.
Iowa State said Rhoads agreed to a five-year deal worth $5.75 million in guaranteed compensation, with incentives available to increase that total.
Iowa State planned to introduce Rhoads at a 6 p.m. ET news conference on Saturday.

- Match report: Hosts humiliated as Germany inflict misery in record defeat
- Big match verdict: Germany 7-1 Brazil was the biggest mugging to take place at this World Cup
- Brazil 1-7 Germany: Player ratings from the World Cup's biggest shock result
- Five things that went wrong for Brazil as Germany hand out their worst ever World Cup defeat
Erm...yeah. So that actually happened.
Germany's 7-1 (SEVEN ONE) demolition of Brazil last night in the semi-final goes down as one of the most shocking results in World Cup history.
A whole nation was brought to their knees in six minutes of football as Toni Kroos and co smashed in three goals to make it 5-0 at half time.
FIVE NIL! Crazy time!
And there is a LOT of fallout from the game which we'll be bringing you this morning but first...
- 'Worst day of my life' says big Phil Scolari. Hard to argue with that.
- David Luiz can't hide the tears in post match chat
- The match report. Avoid reading if you are Brazilian.
More to follow (much like the goals last night)...
Like pics?
Like pics of grown men in yellow shirts crying?
Well then you, sir, are a weirdo. But you are in luck as we have loads.
It is perhaps the most damning thing you can say about this Brazil side that only a dream died last night.
It was a monumental defeat, a historic one for sure.
But when a brilliant Brazil side were eliminated from the 1982 World Cup they said it was the death of 'futebol arte'. The last attractive, flowing side produced by the Canarinha were mourned as such.
What will people think when they reflect on the current vintage?
I take a look, right here.
"The disgrace of all disgraces" - just one damning verdict from the Brazilian media last night.
You can read the best of last night's kneejerk reaction right here.
There are some incredible front pages too:
An "ashamed" Meia Hora says: "There is no front page... we'll be back tomorrow.
"And while you're reading this, Germany have scored again."
In a weird twist to last night, World Cup-winning captain Cafu was thrown out of the Brazil changing rooms by the CBF president in the wake of their 7-1 humiliation.
He also got called a "strange man" which seems both unfair and a little bizarre, but hey, it was an emotional night for everyone.
Jose Mourinho has insisted David Luiz should not be the lone scapegoat for Brazil's defensive horror show.
Skipper Luiz is shouldering the bulk of criticism for the amazing collapse in discipline that resulted in the World Cup hosts exiting in shame after a 1-7 defeat to Germany on Tuesday night.
The former Chelsea man was caught marauding up the field, missing key tackles and failing to mark German attackers during a historic crash by Phil Scolari's side.
He later apologised to his nation in a tearful interview, begging forgiveness and admitting the performance had shamed his side, who critics always feared were driven to the semi finals on a wave of emotion, rather than flair.
Chelsea boss Mourinho, who managed to sell Luiz to Paris Saint-Germain for an astounding sum of £50million before the World Cup kicked off, says the entire Brazil team had a nightmare.
Twitter have revealed that there were over 35million tweets about the game last night, making it the most commented-on sports match OF ALL TIME.
Yeah, that's pretty big.
We've filtered through all of them (well, some of them) to find the funniest, pithiest analysis of the Neymargeddon as it unfolded on social media.
You can see them all here
More goals from the Germany - Brazil match! (Well, an own goal of sorts) and it comes from Singapore.
So not really a goal from the Germany - Brazil game but whatever.
Turns out there had been an anti-gambling advert in Singapore features a crestfallen boy telling his friends his dad bet his life savings on Germany - who have just reached the finals by thrashing host nation Brazil 7-1.
The video, which has run every day of the World Cup, went viral on social media soon after the Brazil game ended and Singapore government ministers were quick with some tongue-in-cheek remarks.
"Looks like the boy's father who bet all his savings on Germany will be laughing all the way to the bank!" Manpower Minister Tan Chuan-Jin wrote on his Facebook page.
"Germany beat Brazil 7-1! Brazil need to find out what went wrong and I need to find the script-writer for the gambling control advertisement," appropriately named Minister for Trade and Industry Teo Ser Luck said in another post.
The National Council on Problem Gambling said the ad was a timely reminder of the possible effects of gambling on loved ones and not to get carried away in the "excitement and hype" of the World Cup.
"Selecting Germany injected a sense of realism in our messaging, since no one will bet on a potentially losing team," a spokesman said. "At the end of the day, win or lose, the dangers of problem gambling, and the potential anxiety and pain that loved ones go through, remain unchanged."
The anti-gambling campaign is a result of some naughty Spingaporeans doing a loooooottt of match-fixing naughtiness.
So now you know. And no, I couldn't find the advert on YouTube.
Last night's Brazil v Germany World Cup semi-final attracted a peak audience of 14 million on BBC One.
This is the highest peak for a non-England match throughout the tournament, and the second highest figure for the BBC (England v Italy, 15.6m).
Only England games in Euro 2012 achieved higher audiences. In World Cup 2010 only England games and the final had higher audiences
More crying Brazil fans - or 'cry-pirinhas as I and nobody else have decided to label them - here for you.
Enjoy (if you like that sort of thing)
Right let's lighten the mood a bit after that sad video.
Thank god, then, for the interwebs and its billions clever photoshop peeps.
We've cobbled together all the best memes from last night's games.
What of Germany's record-holding, summersault-nailing, four-World Cup-spanning striker legend Miroslav Klose?
After breaking The Original Ronaldo's World Cup record of 15 goals last night there have been whispers that Klose could - maybe - be leaving Lazio.
But not so, says their president Claudio Lotito.
"Now we have a champion who has scored the most goals in World Cups.
"The figure he had to reach, he has already done so, regardless of whether or not he scores in the final.
"In order to receive offers for a player, he must be placed on the market and Klose is not for sale."
Lazio celebrated Klose's achievement with a tweet that said: "Sixteen goals in World Cups, the best of all time. Miro Klose enter history. Miro Klose is the history."
So there you go.
Here's what Andre Schurrle did after the game.
I would have totally done the same, to be fairsies.
What was Neymar up to last night while his Brazil team-mates were getting torn apart?
Walking around and tweeting as it happens, which is exactly what I would have predictied.
See him do just that below...
Poor old David Luiz has been the subject of some serious scapegoating (verb) after last night's shambolic performance.
But should he really be the man to bear the brunt of it all?
Ben Burrows thinks not.
What ratings would you give the Brazil players for this tournament out of 10?
Our man in Brazil Jack Lang has given all 23 of the Selecao's squad a rating here.
See if you agree with J-La or not.
And the Copacabanter begins!!!
and our bakery in Stuttgart is spot on: pic.twitter.com/8tTsqJgcDa— Jürgen Klinsmann (@J_Klinsmann) July 9, 2014
Latest to join the queue of Brazil legends wading into the debate following last night's shenanigans is 1970 World Cup winner Tostão. And just like Sam Cooke, he hopes a change is gonna come:
"Picking Bernard was a disastrous decision," he's been ranting. "Even if Neymar had been fit, Brazil would have needed to reinforce the midfield.
"It was a tragedy. But who knows, maybe it will spark change [in Brazilian football].
"Felipão and the players must be criticised for their errors but not massacred. They worked hard and did all they could."
Tostão: "It was a tragedy. But who knows, maybe it will spark change [in #BRA football]."— Jack Lang (@snap_kaka_pop) July 9, 2014
There's been some world class back slapping on Twitter in the last few minutes as Toni Kroos has replied to a congratulatory tweet from Wayne Rooney last night.
This comes just after Germany newspaper Bild have claimed that Kroos' deal to join Real Madrid is all done.
Worth a try though, eh Wayne?
@WayneRooney @felixkroos18 Thanks ! All the best for you !!!— Toni Kroos (@ToniKroos) July 9, 2014
Among the gamut of stats and records coming out of last night's game, I'm sure you'll have heard that the 7-1 shellacking was Brazil's first commutative defeat at home since 1975, when Peru - snazzy sash-emblazoned kits n'all - saw off the Selecao 3-1.
Just to hammer home how long ago that was, take a look at this YouTube footage from the game.
It's in black and white!

Equities Fade To Red As Gold, VIX, Bonds Signal Weakness All Day
US equities tried to escape the draw of a strong Treasury market and weak gold market all day but kept being dragged back to reality (with a late-day dive on decent volume making the most interesting moment of the day). The day-session range was relatively low but volumes were ok as we leaked lower on the day. NASDAQ was the weakest (thanks to AAPL's push back towards it 'generational low') and TRANS outperformed - but the latter was playing catch up to the rest from yesterday's weakness (still lagging on the week). S&P futures clung to VWAP most of the afternoon in a rather uneventful day even as VIX pushed 0.5 vols higher to close above 17% for the first time in three weeks - notably divergent from stocks. EUR strength (+0.8% this week!), while modestly supportive, has largely decoupled from equity movements this week as correlations across risk assets have dropped notably.
S&P 500 Futures closed back below the 100DMA as they just could not escape the pul of Gold and Treasuries tick for tick moves today...
and broadly speaking equity markets recoupled with one another today... down 0.5% to 0.9%
and VIX is sending signals that fear is growing...
and FX dispersion is high as EURUSD leads the way... (we can only think repatriation flows into the year-end are dominating - as it seems the EUR strength- USD weakness, equity strength correlation has broken)...
and cross-asset class correlations have collapsed...
AAPL was notable today - bleeding all day and following its fade from VWAP game again... down almost 4% from yesterday's highs now.
What was most notable was the huge spike in average trade size (middle pane) - something we saw just recently as we topped out...
Credit moved with stocks all day.
Charts: Bloomberg
Bonus Chart: NFLX +14.5% squeezaplaooza as an unknown price was paid for Disney's content at some point in the future... on the highest volume in over two months!
Bonus Bonus Chart - wondering why EURUSD is holding in? Not an explanation but it seems like European sovereign risk has been 'managed' back to its 'managed' FX risk - as the recent correlation between the two has become very high...
- advertisements -
Just a shout-out of thanks to my friends at the bullion banks who coordinated today's sale so I could pick up a few more coins in advance of Basel III on Jan 1, 2013. Thanks Jamie! (You too, Blythe!)
Are you sure they are bullion banks? Sounds more like gold paper banks to me...
They sell the paper and buy the physical gold. But since I get the same opportunity to buy the physical at a discount, I really owe them a thank-you for driving the price down. Of course, come January the sales will most certainly be over, so I'm trying to convert as much as possible now.
BTW dont think for a second that Jamie, Blythe, Warren Buffet, Lloyd, and unnamed and unknown others in the .01% aren't loading up on PMs now, and haven't been for years. They may be ammoral, but they're not stupid, and they own the system.
Wake me when the interesting shit happens. And I'm not talking about Cairo.
Wow. Pandora. Short sellers getting desperate. Can we just end AH trading already? We all know it's manipulated beyond reason at this point.
European sovereign risk has been 'managed' back to its 'managed' FX risk
I'm not at all sure what that means...but I did laugh out loud at the thought that Euro Sovereign risk is "managed." As much so as US T bills are currently reflecting "market rates."
The short squeeze machine is the only thing working for Wall Street these days: NFLX, FSLR, CMG, AMZN, these are your leaders.
If gold goes down because of weakness, then it's either time to drop gold, all of it, or the weakness is not that weak.
I think the logic they are trying to sell is that if we go over fiscal cliff (and debt celing or whatever) then gold will sell off and money moves to the safe haven of "the dollar"
I dont think I buy that. I dont like the drop on Au (I think it should be flying since the presidental "erection") but at the same time, Im not going to freak either.
Except for the Russel 2K. Evidently, that's the new 'battle ground' for the FED.
Why...I don't fucking know. But, they're pumping the shit out of it for the last week.
If they pump it to much they will wear it out, jeeze don't they know anything.
I have noticed the EXACT same thing... it just will not go down.. even today when the ES finishes towards its low (2 points off the days low or so) the TF rallies almost 1% .... far more than any other index... been that way for over a week...ever since Boehners comments about a "deal" that were then recanted the next day... never gave anything back (yet).
Year-end macro themes, all discussed and all understood by visitors here, will maintain consistent down pressure on the market for the remainder of the year at least. The lethargic action suggests, at least to me, that no major swoon will be forthcoming. I intend to dip my toes back in when those long-awaited earnings revisions come in, because, long term, Bernanke does have my back.
Unless you're in the upper echelons at Wall Street, Bernanke most certainly does not have your back.
Middle echelon here. What I mean is that he's stabbing the dollar in the back to make it appear that stocks are doing well. Short of having stacks of gold coins hidden above the bathroom exhaust fan, it's all I can do to maintain purchasing power.
I am not so sure you do not see a big movve to the downside before Jan 1 - hope is pwoerful but so is despair... we are just about all out of hope for a deal in the next week... better get cracking politicians... or do they all suddenly believe that going over the cliff is a "good idea" (as stated by none other than "yee-haw" howard dean himself).
What's up with the Dec Vix Futures being so much lower than spot price? Can't catch a break with my gambling addiction to VXX!!
Rangy and distorted markets. HFTs are still supporting all MA's on all markets, longs on the EUR/GBP - which looks perilous. AUD went bid after central bank (Aust) cut rates. A strange move on a diminishing yields and fading bond markets (Australia is done once the extent of China deflationary chaos is reveled re: stock market).
Stocks look stretched to f*ck, from Nov lows, Gold looks like a sell on the downside if the DXY is ready to break out (liquidation trade).
ECB is a joke with their EUR support. I hope inflation takes Europe off the map as the citizens wheel out thousands of guillotines from beneath Paris, and start chopping the heads off of ALL the idiots that have sent Europe further into it's madness.
Thank you.
$VIX getting ready for the cliff after the cliff
The Jewish manipulated American fraud in Chicago fucks with PM once again as the confetti from their master is used to steal wealth from others. (Kitco has the audacity to run a story about an unidentified Asian seller, another piece of American propoganda) This has been their history throughout the world and I do not believe the American people will stand for much more of this tribe of liars and cheats (Blankfied/Dimon), then again, I never thought the American people would be stupid enough to re-elect this clown act.
PS: keep an eye on the good job the Obama team has done in the middle east as Oil will push up over $200 a barrel and he will again blame Bush and Chris Mathews and Warren (cant tell the truth) Buffett will agree,

A woman left a 5-month-old baby in the care of Houston fire fighters after its mother failed to pick her, KPRC-Houston reports.
The woman, who identified herself only as Alysha (pictured), said that she and a another woman ran into the mother in the street around 3 a.m. Monday. The mother asked Alysha if she could care for the 5-month-old baby for the night.
"The word was that we would help the mom because she was supposedly trying to get money for the baby's diapers," Alysha said.
When Alysha and the woman dropped off the mother at the Cullen Inn Motel where she and her daughter had been staying, they realized the baby had been left in the room alone. Alysha said she took the baby and told the mother to call her in the morning, but she never did. Unable to find the mother, Alysha decided to take the baby to Fire Station 35, in southeast Houston.

1-year olds will give you a great workout! (And little Maddox definitely did that!) He reminded me so much of my kiddos at that age. He was just SO full of energy and the I MUST EXPLORE THE WORLD AROUND ME drive. Posed shots? Not a chance! If he even got the hint that he was being put down, his feet were scrambling before they were halfway there! He was so lively and easy to shoot that I loved it! And he had the most amazing blue eyes that just shined away if he was even remotely looking my way!
He absolutely LOVED this stick and drug it for a WHILE!
Maddox's momma made these- they're so adorable!
My very favorite of all the shots! Look at those eyes!
The original plan was to get 1 posed shot of him and the moose for Christmas photos. However, Maddox had other plans!
