Emperor Cain is known as the first human to be born on the planet along with Myyah Hawwa and the Gazel Ministry via Kadomony.
He was pre-programmed from creation to carry out the will of Deus and constantly work towards Deus' revival. Cain's mind was always focused on protecting humanity until the time of "the Gospel" when Deus would be revived using all of humanity as spare parts. However, he secretly desired an age where humanity was freed from the fate Deus laid down for them.[1]
Biography Edit
Though Abel, the boy who survived the crash landing of the Eldridge and the first Contact, now grown into a man knew the truth of the matter and began to speak out to the planet's burgeoning human population against Cain and the Ministry's lies and sowed the seeds of a rebellion among the Lambs.
In 0010, Cain began to be worshiped as the advent of God among the people. Abel and Elehayym, now lovers, rebelled against this worship, becoming a hindrance to Cain.
In 0011, Cain killed Abel and Elehayym to silence them from spreading rebellion, though the murder plagued his conscience and because of it he developed a guilt-driven sympathy for normal surface dwelling Humans, in effect breaking free of his programming to a degree.
In 9164, Cain and the others determined that humanity has reached the final level. Solaris was founded and Cain served as the Emperor of Solaris and the de factor ruler of all life on the planet.
After the Shevat-Solaris War, in 9506, Cain reached out and contacted Karellen and Myyah at the Ministry's urging. They saw Karellen as a key asset in their grand plan so Cain came to Karellen and offered to help him achieve his goals if he would help them achieve theirs. Karellen agreed and he forged an alliance of mutual dependence with one another. However, while Cain was sincere about coming to Karellen for his help to save his "children", the Ministry was not. Instead, they were looking to condemn humanity to death as a biological patch kit for their so-called god.
As payment for his help, Karellen performed an extensive procedure on Cain in order to extend his life indefinitely. Cain's coffin-like suit, mask, throne, and a good portion of the Imperial Palace in Etrenank was used to just keep him alive. He was once a strong ally of Myyah and the Gazel Ministry, though his actions over the many years caused a split between the Emperor, Myyah and the Ministry. Cain was concerned for the general well-being of all life while the Gazel were only interested in themselves and Myyah was only concerned about Deus.
In 9975, Cain allowed his DNA be used to create Ramsus, an artificial Contact and a clone of Cain created by Karellen.
Xenogears Edit
Cain originally sent Citan Uzuki to the surface in order to keep a constant vigil on Fei Fong Wong, the actual Contact after he was brought to Lahan by Wiseman. Cain and Citan communicate via a telepathic link several times over the course of the game and Citan keeps the Emperor abreast of all the recent things happening around Fei and his group.
Cain was assassinated by Kahran Ramsus. Ramsus was manipulated into doing so by Myyah at the behest of the ministry.
Cain's death allowed Myyah and the Gazel Ministry to use the Gaetia Key to raise Mahanon, the main hull of the Eldridge, from the ocean floor and turn the better majority of the world's population into Wels who would then be absorbed into Deus.
Quotes Edit
- "Yes, the Gospel. We are the people expelled from paradise and forced to live on the cruel surface of the earth. We who fill this land will once again return to the presence of God in paradise and live there eternally. That is the Time of the Gospel. That Time is at hand. We, the Gazel, must find God's resting place by then and resurrect him. That is our final prayer."
- "My beloved children, you can be at ease. The Gazel Ministry and I planned the destruction of the gate long ago. The people chosen by god... we, the Gazel, will return to god's paradise. To the sleeping mother god... The time for our immortality has come. We have opened the door to 'Mahanon'... the place where god rests, the source of wisdom and power. The surface dwellers will no doubt use this opportunity to seize its power. However, there is no need to be concerned... As long as Solaris has this power... Let's show stupid beasts, the Lambs our real power."
Trivia Edit
- Cain's face is never shown beyond the orange skull-like mask used to keep him alive. However it is stated in Perfect Works, that while he would look similar to Ramsus, it wouldn't be exact since Ramsus' appearance was altered by his fusion with the original Kahran Bekker.
- Cain's name is a reference to the Biblical story of Cain and Abel, and how Cain killed Abel.

Barenboim On Beethoven: Nine Symphonies That Changed The World
Confirmed for Saturday 28 July on BBC Two at 9.20pm- 10.50pm
Saturday 28 July
Barenboim and members of the orchestra reveal what it is about this music that is so striking today and what made Beethoven's music so revolutionary at the time it was written. They address how Beethoven achieves his miraculous effects, how he created the modern symphony orchestra, and how he fundamentally changed the range of emotions a symphony could express.
Additionally, Barenboim speaks of how the symphonies have been both used and abused for political purposes. Their tour culminates in a performance of the 9th Symphony, next to the demilitarized zone between North and South Korea. This documentary demonstrates the extraordinary continuing power of Beethoven to touch the human spirit.

We're still working on adding content, so stay tuned for more e-newsletters!
Note: This is a special edition of the E-News, in advance of our regular issue.
You've probably heard about Nik Wallenda's daring two-part walk in the Windy City. But in case you haven't heard, five Vantage Pro2s will be reporting live weather data back to the team and to the WeatherLink Network.
The first Vantage Pro2 will be set up at Nik's starting point on top of the Marina Tower West building. Nik will walk more than two city blocks (a second Vantage Pro2 will be hung mid-wire) to the Leo Burnett building, 50 stories above the frigid waters of the Chicago River where the third Vantage Pro2 will be stationed.
Nik will then do something really amazing and walk the highwire again while blindfolded! He'll start again at the Marina Tower West building and end at Marina Tower East where a fourth Vantage Pro2 will be reporting live weather data. The fifth station will be at ground level.
Weather-wise, the Wallenda team is most concerned about wind gusts. Nik has trained to prepare for night visibility, the sounds of the city, and the unpredictable wind.The Vantage Pro2s will keep Nik's team and the viewers apprised of gusts, as well as other weather conditions.
The Davis Team will also work directly with The Weather Channel anchor Jim Cantore to provide real-time weather readings throughout the event. "Much like the Grand Canyon [walk], it is important for us to monitor the changing wind conditions, gusts and updrafts along with the changing wind direction over the Chicago River during Nik's walk," said Cantore. "At the Grand Canyon, we monitored updrafts and wind gusts reaching 50 MPH. It is important to understand the dynamics of the changing conditions as Nik makes his historic walks."
We didn't want you to miss it – look for our daring weather stations and let us know if you spot them!

Michael Padua, up on the roof with his newest weather station, a Vantage Vue. It joins Michael's trusty sidekick, Vantage Pro2, in watching out for storms in Naga City, Philippines.
David Michael V. Padua is the Executive Director of the Typhoon Preparedness Center in Naga City, Philippines, and clearly knows his weather (and weather stations!). He was recently featured in the The Philippine Daily Inquirer as the "One Man Weather Center."
The "maverick meteorologist" has been a weather buff since childhood and may be one of the few who considers himself lucky to live in a place so well "blessed" with cyclones. He feels that people in the Philippines have had a " fatalistic bahala na [come-what-may] attitude" and his mission is to change that.
His web site, Typhoon2000, is a resource to many in Naga City, the Philippines, and internationally. He tries to make information understandable so residents can prepare for storms. He even offers a text message updater for up-to-the-minute storm information.
When a storm is threatening, Michael is constantly on his laptop. He manages to update his web site every hour when an area is threatened, compared with the four-times-a-day updates from the web site of the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA).
He has rustled a few feathers at PAGASA, with whom he swears he doesn't want to compete. But compete he does. Rather famously, back in 2004, he forecast that Cyclone Unding would indeed hit Naga City, while PAGASA said it would miss Naga City. Unfortunately for Naga City, Michael won that bet.
Michael is no newbie when it comes to Davis stations. "I've been using Davis products since 1995 when I got a Weather Wizard III," he wrote. "It was destroyed by STY [Super Typhoon] Angela and replaced in 2004 with a Vantage Pro. That one was partially damaged by STY Durian. Then I added a Vantage Pro2 in 2007. I have just installed my fourth Davis product, the brand new and award-winning Vantage Vue which I purchased from your Phillipines distributor, Apex Inc."
As Michael likes to say, "Thundering Typhoons!!!"
March 31, 2009
…they might go to the Turks & Caicos Islands. This lucky one belongs to Seamus Day and sits "on the very edge of the island, sited on Grand Turk in the Turks & Caicos Islands, just pure ocean until you hit Africa to the east 2,500 miles (4,200 km) away."
The Vantage Pro2 enjoys the same view as Seamus does when he looks out his home's back window. "We are right next to the ocean, but elevated about 110 feet (35 m) on a cliff with a path to the beach below."
Seamus got his station for use in his helicopter company. The company has since been sold, but the weather station stayed with Seamus.
While the weather is generally, well, fantastic on Grand Turk (some restaurants require that gentlemen wear "dress shorts" for dinner, and one time someone needed a sweater in the evening), Seamus' station has seen some weather action. "We occasionally get hurricanes here, last year being the worst in fifty years with Hanna and Ike back to back, in a single week. Hurricane Ike came barreling in from the northeast in this exact position, with winds at 145 mph (233 kph). We are in the trade winds so we get high average wind speeds year-round, mainly from the east, with lots of sunshine and very little rain, allegedly only 27 inches (686 mm) per year; I will confirm if this is true next year!"
Meanwhile, pass the sun block.

Credit Suisse High Yield Bond Fund (NYSEMKT:DHY) shares appear to have strong potential for both short-term gains in a rebound as well as high monthly payouts for income investors. This is a closed end fund or "CEF" that is managed by Credit Suisse. It primarily invests in high yield (or junk) bonds. As of July 5th, 2013, the fund holds about 266 positions, which means it is solidly diversified.
There are always risks to consider and for a closed end fund that invests in junk bonds, this includes: some interest rate risk, liquidity risk, and economic recession risks, just to name a few. However, with a 10.6% yield, investors are well-rewarded for taking some risks and after the recent decline in bonds and this stock, the potential upside rewards and generous yield make this a compelling investment.
At current levels these shares could be poised for a short-term rebound for a couple of reasons. First of all, we all know bonds have experienced a sharp drop recently and that has pushed these shares down from about $3.40 in May to just around $3. These shares currently trade at a small discount to net asset value which is one reason to buy now because over the past 52-weeks it has traded for about a 5.66% premium (on average) to net asset value. The other reason is because junk bonds could be poised to rebound in general since investors are still looking for income, and this sector still provides some of the best yields. Another reason why junk bonds and this stock don't deserve such a sharp sell-off is because the average junk bond has a relatively short duration, often about 5 years or so. That means duration risk is lower when compared to longer-term bonds. Another positive is that if interest rates move up a little because the economy is getting better (as they have), this should translate into higher credit quality and minimize default rates for junk bond borrowers. These are some major reasons why this stock is attractive now, but there are more:
Investors usually have to wait a while for quarterly dividends to get paid out, but not with this fund. It pays investors every month and that is great since you never have to wait too long for the next payout. In fact, investors who buy in the next few days could be positioned to collect the dividend very soon: These shares will trade ex-dividend on July 15 and the monthly rate is 2.65 cents per share. This provides a very generous yield of 10.6%. The next dividend will be paid on July 23, to shareholders who are on record as of July 17, 2013. Furthermore, it has a consistent history of paying this rate of dividend. With this stock now trading below net asset value of $3.03, instead of its historical 5.66% premium, it makes sense to buy now for a potential rebound and high monthly dividends.
I want to discuss an exchange traded fund that could also be a great option for income investors, but it also can be used as a tool for investing in the Credit Suisse High Yield Bond Fund. The SPDR Barclays Capital High Yield Bond (NYSEARCA:JNK) is an exchange traded fund that also invests in high-yield bonds. Exchange traded funds or "ETFs" trade close to net asset value and this one offers significant liquidity due to the high volume it trades on a daily basis. I like to use this ETF as a proxy for this sector and that means that when "JNK" is up and rebounding as it has been recently, then "DHY" should be performing in a similar way in terms of net asset value. In other words, when "JNK" is rising, "DHY" should eventually do the same.
As the charts show, "JNK" has started to rebound from the recent bond market sell-off and "DHY" also bounced. However, even though the junk bond market and "JNK" is off the recent lows, "DHY" is back at recent lows (after an initial rebound spike to about $3.20) and this is giving investors a second chance for an ideal buying opportunity. (Perhaps a large investor or hedge fund needs to raise cash and had to sell, causing the shares to drop even as the junk bond sector rebounds.) Since current net asset value is just over $3 per share, and if it rebounds to the historical average of about a 5.6% premium to net asset value, the shares could once again rise to around $3.20, especially if the junk bond market continues to bounce back.
Here are some key points for DHY:
- Current share price: $2.95
- The 52 week range is $2.88 to $3.45
- Earnings estimates for 2013: n/a
- Earnings estimates for 2014: n/a
- Annual dividend: about 2.65 cents per month, which yields about 10.6%
Here are some key points for JNK:
- Current share price: $39.49
- The 52 week range is $38.21 to $41.95
- Earnings estimates for 2013: n/a
- Earnings estimates for 2014: n/a
- Annual dividend: about 20 cents per month, which yields nearly 7%

Flags of Ukraine and the European Union, Kyiv (UNIAN Photo)
Sanctions against 146 Russians and Ukrainians, and 37 companies will be extended until September 15
The E.U. will extend sanctions against Russian and Ukrainian individuals on Thursday, March 10, without debate.
Read also How Russia plans to dodge US and EU sanctions over Ukraine
The blacklist includes 146 individuals and 37 companies. This is reported by Russian news agency RIA Novosti, referring to sources in the E.U.
"The decision will be formally approved on Thursday, this will be on agenda among 'A' issues (to be adopted without discussion) at the E.U. Justice and Home Affairs Council meeting. Three people have been excluded from the list because they are no longer alive" said a diplomatic source in the E.U.
According to the source the sanctions will be extended until 15 September 2016.
On March 4, 2016 the E.U. Council extended sanctions against 16 former senior officials of Ukraine, including Ukraine's former president Viktor Yanukovych. The sanctions were prolonged for one year against those who are "responsible for embezzlement or power abuse that led to the loss of public funds".

Besides individual sanctions, the European Council on December 21 agreed to extend sanctions against Russia until July 31, 2016, the E.U. press-service agency reports.
The one-year sanctions were initially imposed on July 31, 2014, in response to Russia's aggression in Eastern Ukraine. On 22 June 2015, the E.U. Council extended the sanctions for another six months - until January 31, 2016. The MEPs prolonged the sanctions because Russia had not fully implemented the Minsk agreements.

Shiller: Housing Market Is Nowhere Near Bottom
Yale University economist Robert Shiller, co-developer of the S&P/Case-Shiller Home Price Indices, told Reuters Monday he believes the housing market's slide is by no means nearing its conclusion. Shiller said not only are forecasts of a bottom in 2008 probably wrong, but 2008 could see a decline even worse than that of 2007. "There is a probability of a continuing decline for a period of years, bringing prices in many cities down in the 10s of percent," he said. "The bottom is hard to predict. I do not see it imminent and it could be five or 10 years too." Shiller gained prominence with the bestseller Irrational Exuberance, which warned that stock valuations were too high just before the dotcom bubble burst in 2000. He also raised red flags during the real estate boom, which he said showed signs of infection by "investor psychology." "We have seen housing bubbles many times in history, but they have been much more local than this one," he said during the interview. Shiller forecasts that the areas likely to be hardest hit by plummeting home values are those that saw the most precipitous ascents during the boom and those at the center of the subprime mortgage meltdown, with California and Florida well up on the list. The S&P/Case-Shiller Home Price Indices have seen eight consecutive months of negative annual returns for existing single-family homes through August. "Based on the futures market for the S&P Case-Shiller Composite Index, we are looking at home prices down another 5% in 2008," Shiller said.

Oracle Takes On VMware With New Software
Database software giant Oracle announced Monday that it is releasing Oracle VM, its new virtualization technology, for free download as of Wednesday. Oracle will sell service contracts for Oracle VM for $499-999 per year. Virtualization technology creates virtual versions of operating systems, servers and data storage devices, thereby reducing server numbers, downtime and maintenance and saving space and electricity costs. Oracle claims its software is three times as efficient as that of its rivals, which include VMware and Microsoft. VMware, which had one of the summer's most successful IPOs, holds 85% of the market. "Is this bad news for VMware? Yes," said Global Equities Research analyst Trip Chowdhry. "This tells us that the virtualization market will not belong to VMware." A VMware spokesman responded to Oracle's challenge by saying, "We believe customers want a consistent approach to virtualization that has a proven track record with mission critical deployments and a complete offering." On Monday, Hewlett-Packard unveiled its own series of new virtualization products for data centers. Last week, Dell said it will pay $1.4 billion for virtualization-optimized storage vendor EqualLogic. IBM is also pursuing virtualization technology. The IDC research firm forecasts the information technology market will reach $11.7 billion by 2011. VMware shares fell 8.4% to close at $80.36 Monday and then shed another 3.8% to $77.30 in AH trading following Oracle's announcement.

Vodafone Rises on Solid Beat and Raise
Vodafone Group plc topped consensus analyst estimates in both profit and revenue in its latest half results (for the period ended September 30), sending shares higher by 3.3% in London trading. The global telecom company credited emerging market growth as well as higher margins and increased data sales in western Europe for its latest success. Net income came in at £3.29 billion ($6.8 billion), good for EPS of 6.19 pence. The company reported a loss of £5.1 billion in the year-earlier period. Sales were up 9% to £17 billion. Those numbers compare with average analyst expectations for net income of £3.03 billion on sales of £16.9 billion. European sales rose 2% to £12.7 billion pounds while emerging market sales jumped 40% to £4.3 billion pounds. The company increased its full-year outlook for revenue, adjusted operating profit and free cash flow. Vodafone also increased its dividend by 6% to 2.49 pence a share. CEO Arun Sarin: "These results reflect our continuing focus on the execution of our strategy. In Europe, we have performed well in competitive markets by driving strong growth in voice usage and data revenue, whilst improving cost efficiency. In EMAPA [Europe, Middle-East, Asia-Pacific and Associates], we are capturing the revenue growth opportunities within emerging markets and benefiting from continuing momentum at Verizon Wireless," (full earnings call transcript later today).

Yahoo! Announces oneSearch Partnerships Across Asia
Yahoo! announced early Tuesday it has established a handful of new partnerships with some of the leading mobile operators across the Asia Pacific region. Yahoo!'s "oneSearch" mobile search technology will be used by partner mobile internet sites for search and advertising opportunities. Yahoo!'s partners include mobile operators stretching from Hong Kong (no. 2 and no. 3 carriers) to India (four of top-eight carriers), including all of Indonesia's top-four carriers and Malaysia's no. 1 and no.3 carriers. Marco Boerries, chief of Yahoo!'s mobile division, told Reuters in an interview that the announcement of the 16 deals gives Yahoo! approximately 40% coverage of all subscribers in those countries. Boerries also said more deals are in the pipeline, with a "... clear goal to lead the market [and] exceed 50 percent." Yahoo! has reached deals with 20 mobile operators globally since launching oneSearch. In every agreement except with Taiwan, oneSearch will be the featured web search service. Shares of Yahoo! lost 3.9% to $24.78 on Monday and were last up 2.2% to $25.32 in thin pre-market trading.

Orbitz Beats, Stock Jumps
Online travel site Orbitz Worldwide reported a loss after the bell Monday, stemming from the company's IPO costs when it went public in July. Orbitz lost $32 million ($0.38/share) compared to a loss of $9 million last year. However, excluding items such as the $32 million IPO charge, the company earned $43 million ($0.23/share), well ahead of analysts' projections of $35 million ($0.13/share). Revenue jumped 20% to $221 million, also beating analysts' forecasts of $211.8 million.

Time Warner's AOL Buys Yahoo Answers Competitor
Last Wednesday it was Quigo and then early Monday morning it was Yedda, making for two Israeli acquisitions by Time Warner unit AOL in a week. Founded in 2006 by Avichay Nissenbaum and Yaniv Golan, Yedda will be absorbed as a wholly AOL owned subsidiary. Purchased at undisclosed terms, Yedda is similar to Yahoo Answers, employing semantic matching technology to automatically matches questions to other related questions while selecting the best available users to answer the question. Quigo, a contextual ad firm whose Ad Sonar is similar to Google's AdSense while its FeedPoint serves up ads on search results or Internet sites, was bought for a reported $340 million. Both of these will go into AOL's Platform A, launched in September, which now includes Advertising.com, AOL-run sites, Tacoda, Third Screen Media (bought just last spring) and AdTech. These recent acquisitions are directly related to AOL's renewed role as an advertising-focused media company. "This acquisition builds on AOL's community legacy," said an AOL spokesperson. "Asking a question is the most natural way to search for information and with the incorporation of Yedda's unique patent-pending technology, AOL will enhance our programming efforts while bringing together editorial and user-generated communities."

EchoStar to Work on Improving Churn Rate
EchoStar Communications tumbled 16% Monday after the satellite television provider reported what it called an "unacceptable" customer churn rate even as third-quarter profits surged 45%. The company blamed excessive free programming and weak economic conditions. Company managers "just haven't done a very good job" of controlling subscriber turnover in recent months," CEO Charles Ergen told analysts, noting that the company historically has done a better job at installation, responding to customer requests and marketing. The housing and credit crises, he said, are also taking a toll. "If you go down some subdivisions in America today, every other house has a for sale sign, and that particular house may have a dish on the roof or may have cable running into the house, and there is nobody living there," he added. Late Friday the company said net income rose to $199.7M ($0.44/share) from $139.6M ($0.31/share) a year earlier. It added 110,000 net new subscribers during the quarter, down from 295,000 a year earlier, putting its churn rate at 1.94% vs 1.76% in the third quarter of 2006. Ergen also said the company was considering a possible minority investment in foreign satellite TV operations.

Wal-Mart Beats Street; Heavy Discounting Succeeds
Wal-Mart Stores Inc. posted better-than-expected Q3 net income and revenue, and boosted its full-year outlook. Net income for the world's number-one retailer was $2.86 billion ($0.70/share), up from $2.65 billion ($0.63/share) last year. Quarterly sales were $91.95 billion, up from $84.47 billion. Analysts, on average, were expecting EPS of $0.67 on revenue of $91.67 billion. U.S. same-store sales were up 1.5% over the quarter; in August the company projected a 1-3% rise. The figure includes a 3.9% jump in same-store sales at Sam's Club, while comps at Wal-Mart's namesake stores were up just 1%. Wal-Mart Stores said it now anticipates Q4 earnings from continuing operations of $0.99 to $1.03 a share, equating to full-year EPS from continuing operations of $3.13 to $3.17. Analysts had been forecasting Q4 EPS of $1.02 and full-year EPS of $3.09. Wal-Mart estimates U.S. comparable-store sales will be flat to 2% higher for the fourth quarter. The results seemed to indicate Wal-Mart's heavy discounting during the quarter did not hurt its margins. "Both Wal-Mart Stores U.S. and Sam's Club increased profits faster than sales," CEO Lee Scott said. "Our focus on managing inventory this quarter was very positive," (full earnings call transcript later today). During the quarter, Wal-Mart marked down 15,000 holiday items, 20% more than a year ago. "They've struggled with execution for quite a while, but now they're entering an environment where they certainly could excel, given their scale and price focus," money manager Peter Kwiatkowski remarked. Separately, Home Depot reported a 27% decline in net income and cut its full-year outlook, noting housing market indicators continue to deteriorate (full story). Wal-Mart shares are up 3.3% in pre-market trading.

Profits Tumble at Home Depot
Home Depot Inc. saw its Q3 net income fall 27% as same store sales were down 6.2% Y/Y and the housing slump continued to hurt profits at the nation's largest home improvement store. Shares fell 3.06% in pre-market action on the news; through Monday Home Depot was down 29% YTD, well on the way to its third consecutive annual loss in share value. Net income was $1.09 billion, good for EPS of $0.60, versus net income of $1.49 billion and EPS of $0.73 a year ago. Aggressive share repurchases by Home Depot kept EPS down less (-21.6%) than overall net income (-27%). Earnings from continuing operations came in at $0.59; on that basis, Wall Street was expecting earnings of $0.60 per share. Sales fell 3.5% to $18,96 billion, versus $19.65 billion a year earlier. Analysts were expecting sales of $19.43 billion. The company now expects earnings from continuing operations to fall by as much as 11% in FY2007. In September, sales of previously-owned U.S. homes were reported at at-least an eight-year low (records first started being kept in 1999), while housing starts fell to a 14-year low in October (full story). Falling home sales have hit Home Depot especially hard as demand has declined sharply for cabinets, bathroom and kitchen renovations. Home Depot has also lost market share to largest competitor Lowe's on poor customer service, something the company is spending $2 billion on during the current fiscal year to rectify. Reflecting on his company's latest results, CEO Frank Blake said, "We are facing a tough environment as housing indicators continue to deteriorate. Our financial performance in the third quarter reflects these tough conditions," (full earnings call transcript later today).

IEA Cuts Oil Demand Outlook
Saying record energy prices may be pressuring demand, the International Energy Agency on Tuesday cut its estimates for world oil demand. "[There are] strong indications that high prices are depressing demand, which, together with signs of higher output from Saudi Arabia, Iraq and Nigeria, have capped further price gains," the Paris-based agency said as it dropped its forecast for fourth-quarter demand by 500,000 bbls./day and its 2008 daily demand outlook by 300,000 barrels. Global daily demand for crude next year, it believes, will be 87.69M bbls. "From a practical standpoint, hitting a round number may not confer any specific damage, but the cumulative $70 rise in price since 2002 is, we believe, having a cumulative effect," it noted. The report added, however, that it was too soon to believe that the effects would be permanent. The price of crude has retreated in its march towards $100 since touching a record $98.62/bbl. last week, dropping as much as $1.30 more to $93.32/bbl. early Tuesday after the report was released. "The whole fact that we've approached $100 has created a scare for some people," one analyst said. "The underlying fundamentals are that we're expecting tighter markets through 2015." The move comes ahead of an OPEC meeting this weekend at which Saudi Arabia may push for expanded output.

E*Trade Plummets on Worries Over Company's Financial Future
E*Trade Financial lost almost 60% of its market value Monday, as investors worried about the true amount the company will have to write down because of its subprime exposure. The company admitted Friday in an SEC filing that it would probably have to take a writedown which would exceed previous estimates (full story). The stock was further hit by analysts' downgrades and questions about the financial future of the company: "Bankruptcy risk cannot be ruled out," Citigroup analysts said. Citigroup also downgraded the stock to Sell, adding "We estimate that trying to liquidate E*Trade 's loan and ABS portfolio would result in over $5 billion of losses, more than wiping out tangible equity." E*Trade sent a letter to customers Monday, saying the company is "well capitalized by regulatory standards." CFO Jarret Lilien said the company could absorb up to a $1 billion writedown and still be well capitalized. However, he also said the company expects the "market will get worse before it gets better."

Money Market Funds Scramble To Avoid "Breaking the Buck" - WSJ
Money market mutual funds that hold positions in SIVs are taking steps to prevent their NAVs from "breaking the buck," or heading south of $1 per share, according to Tuesday's Wall Street Journal. The credit crunch has placed SIVs under intense pressure, and their values have fallen sharply as they scramble to dump assets. Last month, S&P downgraded the SIV Cheyne Finance LLC to default status after it entered receivership. Though exposure to that fund is not expected to trigger significant losses at mutual funds, S&P stoked the funds' concerns by stating that exposure to SIVs like Cheyne could affect their ratings. Money manager SEI Investments, faced with the threat of downgrades on its $6.1 billion SEI Daily Income Trust Prime Obligation Fund and $1.4 billion SEI Daily Income Trust Money Market Fund, said it will guarantee some of the funds' SIV holdings. STI Classic Funds approached the SEC with a plan to allow its parent, SunTrust Bank, to provide "an irrevocable standby letter of credit" to protect two of its funds that had invested in notes issued by Cheyne. The SEC told both STI and SEI that it will not intervene to prevent their actions. Some firms, including Credit Suisse, have announced adjustments to the valuations of SIV-related commercial paper held by their funds. "2007 is beginning to rival 1994's derivative crisis as the most dangerous event" in fund history, according to industry publication Money Fund Intelligence. Approximately 5% of money-market mutual-fund assets have SIV exposure.

Legg Mason, SunTrust Firm Up Money-Market Funds
Legg Mason and SunTrust Banks are investing in their money-market funds in an effort to cushion what are considered among the safest investments against possible losses from debt issued by structured investment vehicles. According to an SEC filing, Legg Mason, the second-largest publicly traded U.S. mutual-fund company, has invested $100M in one of its funds and arranged a $238M credit facility for two others. SunTrust, meanwhile, has received regulatory approval to protect two funds that bought debt from Cheyne Finance Plc if the SIV is unable to repay SunTrust. Structured investment vehicles, or SIVs as they are known, borrow money by selling short-term commercial paper and medium-term notes and buying higher-yielding assets such as financial company debt and mortgage-backed bonds. The 10 largest U.S. money-market funds have some $50B of SIV debt, some of which has defaulted because of subprime links. Legg Mason holds $10.7B in SIV debt, or 6% of its $167B in money-market assets. Wachovia also has stepped in to ensure its funds don't fall below $1/share asset value, while Bank of America, Federated Investors and Fidelity Investments are backing a U.S. Treasury plan for an $80B fund to keep SIVs afloat (full story).

Credit Downgrade Could Endanger Countrywide
Countrywide Financial Corp. said in a regulatory filing that if its credit rating falls below investment grade, its access to capital would be limited. The company said falling to junk-bond status would impair it from raising money in public debt markets; will cause its bank subsidiary to lose bank deposits; and will allow financers to require higher interest rates when the company renegotiates its financing arrangements. The company still has investment grade ratings from the three ratings agencies, but each has "placed our ratings on some form of negative outlook," CFC said. Countrywide said it has "adequate funding liquidity," but "future developments on the company may require us to... procure additional sources of financing." The company raised $2 billion in August by selling preferred stock to Bank of America (full story). The lender also said about 4.9% of the subprime loans in its portfolio were pending foreclosures as of September 30th, up from 2.9% last year. Shares of Countrywide fell 4.6% to $13.19 Monday.

BOJ Holds Again; Q3 GDP Surprises to Upside
As expected, the Bank of Japan voted 8-1 Tuesday to hold its benchmark rate at 0.5% -- unchanged since February. Although Q3 (July - Sept.) GDP rebounded to a better-than-expected 2.6% annualized growth rate (vs. estimates of 1.8%), the subprime-induced credit market challenges in the U.S., combined with high commodities prices and rising uncertainty over the sustainability of the domestic economy's expansion weighed heavily on the BOJ's decision. BOJ Governor Toshihiko Fukui warned the Japanese economy is at risk to a slowdown if U.S. housing market problems drag on private consumption and capital investment. The BOJ is said to be watching global economic and financial developments closely. Governor Fukui expects the U.S. economy will soften in Q4, but says it should be able to avoid a serious downturn. Q3 GDP was driven by strong export growth (esp. to Asia and Europe) of 12% on an annualized basis. Consumer spending grew by only 0.3%, while housing investment fell by 7.8% due to stricter government regulation. In October the BOJ lowered its fiscal year (ending March) GDP outlook to 1.8%, from 2.1%, partially due to weakness in construction. Q2 GDP was downward revised to a 1.6% contraction, from -1.2% previously. The Nikkei 225 lost 0.5%, falling for an eighth-consecutive session (the longest in over three-years) to a 16-month low. The yen rose slightly against the US$ and is trading near a two-year high.

Made possible because of Measure A funding, a new master plan for McNears Beach Park is underway. A park master plan is a comprehensive, long-term planning document that guides the future direction of park facilities, improvements, and programs. Public participation in this project is important to us, and will help our landscape architects and other staff detail and shape the kinds of facilities and recreational opportunities the community wants and needs now, and to forecast future trends.
In June 2014, Marin County Parks contracted with the Office of Cheryl Barton for development of a master plan for McNears Beach Park in San Rafael. This beloved 55-acre park is used by thousands of visitors each year for swimming, fishing, and picnicking. For many, it's just a place to hang out and look at an amazing waterfront view. But, the park is weathered and showing signs of age. Some of this is visible in the buildings or walkways; some is not visible, lying in an aging infrastructure, including decades old water, electrical, telephone, and irrigation lines and storm drains.
We are soliciting public input and providing opportunities for visitors to help shape the future of McNears Beach Park. Focus group sessions with park user groups are underway, and a community workshop was hosted on Monday, February 23, at the San Rafael Community Center. If you want to receive project updates by email, please click on "subscribe" link (to your left), enter your email address, and select the "McNears Beach Park Master Plan" from the Marin County Parks subscription list.

Summary: Blepharoplasty remains one of the most popular operations in facial aesthetic surgery. Serious complications, which include blindness, retrobulbar hematoma, and ectropion, although relatively rare, are well reported in the literature. As techniques evolve in aesthetic eyelid surgery, minor complications continue to be very common. Nonetheless, management of these complications can be challenging and may require extended management or surgical revision. The authors discuss several of the most common minor complications, including hematoma, dry-eye syndrome, infections, atypical lesions, lid malposition, and scarring. In addition, preoperative assessment of risk factors, treatment, and management of these minor complications are presented.

After witnessing the beating and death of fellow plantation slave January, Sadie must escape the Kentucky plantation and head north to the free states. This book can be used in the classroom to introduce the touchy topic of the brutality of slavery.
Summary: The story is about a African-American family living during the time of the underground railroad, and the ownership of black people was legal. The Crosswhite family was a group of black people owned by Master Francis Giltner. After watching another fellow black person, January, get beaten bloody and (to what they thought) death, the Crosswhite family decides to run away to Canada. They travel very far from Kentucky to Michigan where they settle for a while because it is a free state. The black children go to school, the adults can actually work, and Sadie, one of the main character even befriends a little white girl who becomes her greatest friend. Finally, Giltner, the previous owner of the Crosswhite family, finds them and tries to take them back. In the end, the Crosswhites are able to escape after the judge in that town jails Giltner for kidnapping and the Crosswhites escape to Canada.
Personal Reaction: Well, I read it… My boyfriend read it… Then I read it again. We both thought the first four pages were unnecessary and the graphic illustrations of the beating were not appropriate for children. However, this is a very good book for Black History Month and to study the underground railroad. The illustrations were very realistic and colorful. There were many words on a page and the language was a little different, lacking in grammar, but it showed how people talked back then. I did enjoy the book, and was very pleased to find a happy ending.
Classroom Extension Ideas:
1) Before reading this, the teacher can have a discussion with the class about the underground railroad. First, ask the students if they know what the underground railroad is, when did it start, why and how was it used, and after asking these questions tell the students the history about the underground railroad. While reading the book, have the children write down which characters were involved with the underground railroad.
2) This book has many new words that can be introduced to students. The teacher can give a list of vocabulary terms, such as Sparrow, Plantation, Lynch, and even Slave, to the students before reading this book. Have students write down what they think the word means, then have students look up in dictionaries what the word means. While reading the book, students can observe where the new words are and how they are used. The teacher can play a spelling game after the book.
It is a powerful book that shows students just how real slavery was and it describes to them what the journey through the Underground Railroad would be like if they were a slave in the 1860s.
CC: Connection to Civil War, Underground Railroad, writing process and important elements of a story such as conflict, characters, setting, plot, and theme.
Summary: "January's Sparrow" begins with the Crosswhite family's friend, January, being beaten and killed for running away from their master. That night, the family finds out that their sons will be sold, as a result, they begin their journey on the Underground Railroad to find freedom. However, Sadie Crosswhite leaves a wooden sparrow January craved for her in the window. After a few days, the family makes it to the town of Marshall where nearly 2,000 people lived, and 60 of them were African Americans. The family begins making a life for themselves in the town and they believe they are safe as long as no one tells any of the white townspeople that they are runways. Sadie soon starts school and becomes friends with a white girl named Polly, which she tells her that her family are runways. One day, they receive a package with Sadie's wooden sparrow and a note that says "I found you." The family stays in Marshall, however, they are very watchful of strangers coming to town. But one night, slave catchers storm in their house and begin to drag the family out of the house to take them back to Kentucky. However, the father breaks free and rings the Auction bell which warns the townspeople, black and white, and they come out to help the Crosswhite family. The slave catchers and the townspeople begin arguing about letting the family go. However, the sheriff informs the townspeople that the slave catchers have a right to take the family back. All hope is lost until January appears and tells his story of how he was tortured and left for dead by their previous masters and the Crosswhite's father took him to a Quaker's house and pretended to bury his body. After the townspeople hear this and see his scars they pushed and tugged on the slave catchers. As a result, the slave catchers were arrested and kept for a few days until the Crosswhites could start their journey to Canada before the slave catchers can catch them.
Review: The central message of this book is many people, black and white, risked their lives to help families escape to freedom through the Underground Railroad. Overall, I thought this book was well written and heartfelt due to the description of the tragedies this family went through and how they were able to escape to freedom. However, I thought the illustrations and detailed events of many horrific events are a little too intense for young readers. For example, the first page of the book is a drawing of a bloody man with torn clothes being dragged by a rope tied around his hands as his face shows his suffering. In addition, there is another drawing of a slave pinned to the ground by stakes where his back is covered with bloody lashes as he lays in a pool of blood, and two different slave catchers are whipping and stomping on him. Even though this story presents a beautiful story of sacrifice and courage, I would not use this book for young readers because the pictures and language is too graphic.
This was an amazing book. It goes through the journey of one family who is trying to escape from Kentucky, a state that allows the ownership of slavery, to Canada. The family stops in Indiana and become comfortable there for a few years. After the family has let their guard down, their old slave master and some of his workers have found them and plan on taking them back to Kentucky. Through the help of thier new friends, the Crosswhites escape the slave master.
The author writes this book in a mature tone. It is also very lengthy, young readers may not be able to finish it. The illustrations are beautiful.

Patricia Polacco's most powerful book since Pink and Say.
In the middle of the night, The Crosswhites?including young Sadie?must flee the Kentucky plantation they work on. Dear January has been beaten and killed by the plantation master, and they fear who may be next. But Sadie must leave behind her most valuable possession, the wooden sparrow carved for her by January. Through the Underground Railroad, the Crosswhites make the slow and arduous journey to Marshall, Michigan, where they finally live in freedom. And there they stay, happily, until the day a mysterious package shows up on their doorsteps. It is January?s sparrow, with a note that reads, ?I found you.?
How the Crosswhites, and the whole town of Marshall, face this threat will leave readers empowered and enthralled. This is a Polacco adventure that will live in the minds of children for years.

The Fruitful Vine
Full Product Description
The Fruitful Vine contains six sections. The first, The Marital Union, supplies the biblical foundation for the remainder of the book: Why was marriage instituted, and what was God's best plan for marriage? The chapter "To Marry or Not?" offers guidance and encouragement to unmarried women, both those called to "singleness" and those "maids in waiting." The following three sections pertain to the natural roles a married woman will find the most joy in fulfilling - namely, being a companion to her husband, bearing and nurturing children, and keeping an ordered home. The fifth section, The Autumn Years, provides counsel to the "empty-nesters" and encouragement for widows. The final section provides a character sketch of a spiritually-minded woman and the types of ministry she may engage in. Through Scripture, God has revealed both what He finds beautiful in a woman and what He expects of her. -Warren Henderson
The Fruitful Vine by Warren Henderson was published by Warren A. Henderson in January 2006. The ISBN for The Fruitful Vine is 9781897117132.

Racing on all fours - level 2
18-11-2014 07:00
A special race was held in a Japanese city. The runners got down on all fours – they used their legs as well as their arms to race 100 metres on the track.
An 18-year-old man beat the 30-year-old who held the record. Also, the 30-year-old actually invented the race on all fours.
The winner's time was 15.86 seconds. His hero is Usain Bolt and his favourite animal is the monkey, of course.
Difficult words: race (a situation when people try to run as fast as they can to win), track (a way for runners).
You can read the original story and watch the video in the Level 3 section.

Doing an analysis on the most read posts posts of the year on any given blog is a useful exercise in as so far as it tells us what information people consumed. TheJackB might point out that posts on our most read posts tells us about our most popular posts but may not in fact tell us which posts are best.
He's right and I'm sure of it because the most read posts are a puzzle. We have all the information we need to analyze — Google Analytics' Adam Singer even did the work for us — and all we need to do it put it together. Thanks to Malcom Gladwell, I can claim there is a distinction between a puzzle and a mystery.
A mystery is forward looking — we do not have any information — and we do not know for certain what will be our most read posts in 2013. We can make inferences and forecasts from our existing data — like a puzzle, where information exists but we just need to put it together — but the fact is no one knows what tomorrow will bring. Not even the Mayans.
Thank you to all who read this blog, who take the time to offer thoughtful comments and who engage with me on social media. Cheers and hopes for much more in 2013.
Most read in 2012:
1. Social media strategists will be gone in 2 years
This post was modestly controversial for all the wrong reasons: many felt I was downplaying social media. As a culture of marketing, we are obsessed with the word "strategy" and toss it around when really, it is very special and should be used sparingly. Moreover, social media, like any tactic, needs to be tied into a higher level plan to accomplish a purpose.
2. 7 essential principles to succeed in PR
I cranked this post out in anger. It may not seem like it, but this was my way of processing the fiasco created by an individual who was vomiting terrible advice on the web. Those that follow such manipulative tactics will find their businesses or organizations will not succeed. That's not hyperbole; there are corporate financial statements to prove it. And if there's any question, I still believe what I wrote in this guest post a day or two later on Ragan.com that lying to journalists is not a genius PR stunt.
3. 7 Creative PR and Marketing Ideas
This post I wrote earlier this year while still deployed in the Sinai. The photo of the coral shaped like a number "7" is a photo I snapped while SCUBA diving in the Red Sea; just had to get back on shore to write a post.
4. Communications professors without a social media clue
The concept here is simple: anyone that calls him or herself an educator in the communications space — whether that's PR, marketing or journalism — has an obligation to master new tools to prepare their students for the real world. There are no excuses.
5. PR defined: PR is about third-party validation
Third-party validation isn't a new concept in terms of a definition of PR. It's how the first PR agency I ever worked for many years ago described the profession. It's accurate, scales and in a new media age: it still fits. PR goals should center on third-party validation because that moves the needle for businesses.
6. Why Content Marketing is the New Branding
This is an example of how blogging helps us think. At least it helps me to think; to form ideas and to refine them over time. A conversation at work led to to this first draft of a content marketing post — which turned into a guest post on Copyblogger and I eventually re-published on the Vocus blog (former employer) and on my own blog, with some modifications.
7. Lessons from migrating from Blogger to WordPress
One of the best moves I've made in blogging was to migrate to WordPress. There's a whole slew of challenges that come with it — I'm still fixing links for example. The little details are tedious, but overall the process wasn't too difficult. I'd never look back now.
8. 10 leadership tips for 1:1 meetings with employees
Another example of thinking out loud — and later refining those thoughts. After answering a leadership question on Quora I got to thinking it would make a good blog post and also be a nice break from my usual editorial content.
9. Social media is NOT that important
An outrageous headline — and quite a few people came after me online as a result. But you know what? Those that did simply demonstrated they didn't read the post before they lashed out. It's okay to have strong views and it's perfectly normal to disagree — but the lesson I took from this was to be absolutely certain I've read a post carefully before I publish my own thoughts taking exception.
10. Consider your social media identity carefully
A guest post! My former colleague, Michele Hudnall, from the long since acquired Managed Objects, just sent me this post by email one day. Thanks for a great piece of content, Michele, it looks like there's a lot of people out there that feel the same way!

A post about most popular posts
I have been thinking about this for several days now because I find it really interesting. It ties into the contradiction of blogging/writing for me.
The best writing usually comes from our covering topics that we are interested and passionate about. When the words are flowing from our fingertips and we can instil some personality to go alongside the passion good things happen.
Yet we don't always see a return on that because sometimes our readers choose to go a different direction and that is a challenge.
If we are trying to build a community and generate discussion it doesn't matter what sort of blog we are writing (personal/professional) because we have to pay attention to what our readers want and respond to.
In a perfect world there is a synchronicity between our interest and our readers but sometimes they don't intersect as well as we might like.
I suppose it also ties into the dilemma some of us face when we decide we want to head in a different direction with our writing than we have been going. The community we have built might not be interested in joining us on the new journey so we have to consider the consequences of making those moves.
So it all comes back to measuring the importance of popular versus what we consider our best.

Rated 4.6 out of 5 by 28 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by APBTlover Very Impressive!! I purchased the lavender (pink) color during one of the great sales Frontgate often has. It's a beautiful rose pink color. It is warm, soft, gorgeous, generously sized and a little thicker than other comparable cashmere throws I have. I wish there was more of a color selection. I came back for more and decided on the oatmeal color. I can only hope it is of the same quality. You will hear back from me if it's not. I cannot speak to longevity as I only recently received it but if I was you I wouldn't worry about it - you've got to get one of these. December 26, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by Algdesigns Cashmere throw Very happy with both the quality and monograming of this throw January 12, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by maldy Woven Cashmere Throw Gift Purchase I will submit a detailed review, once the gift is opened by the recipient and they provide feedback. What I can share right now is that the package arrived quickly, the gift box was beautifully appointed and, upon peeking inside (without disturbing the wrapping) the rich color of the throw was just as beautiful as I'd imagined and the quality looks to be impeccable and soft - which is what I'm accustomed to with Frontgate products - consistently great quality. Cannot wait until the gift is opened and I can provide a stellar review! December 9, 2014

DROID ULTRA: SU2-3.3 Update
Per David Schuster of Motorola: https://plus.google.com/u/0/+DavidSc...ts/Dfpjj3F2K6TThere have been a number of people asking about the status of the next DROID Ultra/MAXX and Mini KitKat upgrade. This week we started to roll out a maintenance release to address a rare network connectivity issue. Details can be found in the release notes.
With respect to the next KitKat upgrade, as I have stated before we had some unfortunate requirement changes that had delayed the deployment of the 4.4.2 upgrade. We are working on getting you the latest version of KitKat as quickly as we can. I am constrained in what I can currently say about timing but as soon as I can, I will let you guys know more.
Enhanced security and restyled Status Bar: Added enhancements including improved security and restyled Status Bar.
Fixed Canada roaming issue: Fixed a rare issue which could lead to connectivity problems while switching from a Canadian UMTS network back to a Verizon CDMA/LTE network.
Fixed Microsoft Exchange SD card Encryption issue: Fixed a bug that caused issues while configuring a Microsoft Exchange account because of an encrypted SD card requirement (Ultra, Mini and Maxx do not support an SD card).

Got the update. White status bar looks good. Better than I expected. Also seems to be a little quicker. Will report back about battery life.

Re: DROID ULTRA: SU2-3.3 Update
I really like this small update. As already said, battery is even better and I really like the white status bar.
One thing I appreciate most about my Ultra is the nice battery life. Even though it doesn't have the big battery of the Maxx, it still gets the best battery life of any smartphone I've owned. I never have to worry about it during the day - lasts all day no matter how much I use it. I always make it to bedtime with plenty to spare. Seems even better after this update.
Re: DROID ULTRA: SU2-3.3 Update
Yeah I agree. I've never had a phone with such good battery life.

Re: DROID ULTRA: SU2-3.3 Update
https://plus.google.com/+DanSandler/posts/NQ1CEhyKMah3. B—BUT MY BLINKENLIGHTS?! So this (the removal of the little in/out data traffic arrows from the RSSI) was mostly a performance consideration, believe it or not. The way the data bits are bubbled up and drawn was not only causing a ton of extra rendering work, but actually forcing a layout (!) in the status bar as well. We could have more aggressively cached the bitmaps (rather than creating new BitmapDrawables from resource IDs every time, which was causing the relayout) but that would still have left all the drawing—multiple times per second in some cases—sucking away precious CPU and GPU from your game or Launcher animations or whatever. In the end it seemed like a lot of work (and battery) for what was effectively visual noise, so this too was booted to Quick Settings where it would be available for us nerds.

If you buy an item that defects later (under warranty) beware as Very will insist you deal with the Manufacturer directly. I have returned the faulty DVD player and have spent in total 3 hours on the phone trying to get to the bottom of why my account has not been credited. Answers from their terrible and useless customer services include; I don't know as it should have been done, technical errors, blah blah and at 10p per minute it's cost me £18.00 in phone calls. I will never shop with Very again! Be warned especially if you plan to buy a large expensive electrical item!!
