With the increasing health awareness, consumers are giving more preference for tasty, healthy and convenient and these demands can be achieved by food encapsulation. On the basis of technology type, global food encapsulation market can be segmented into microencapsulation, nanoencapsulation and hybrid technologies.

You picked your Escalade EXT because its a reputation for strength and American engineering appealed to your senses; so why would you be okay with anything but the best when it comes to the highest quality auto parts?

Test Case Report
Reporting Test Case Results
Reporting information on test case results produced by the QA team can help management and stakeholders determine the cause of problems in a project. When combined with test case data, tracking the reopening of bugs and bugs that have failed retest, provides insights into areas of the software where development is struggling.
A good test case management system, such as Zephyr Enterprise Edition, associates test case results with component information, pointing to possible design issues that are causing more bugs than average, or even a development team that is skimping on unit testing. This kind of data can be invaluable to keeping a project on time and on budget.

Hey All! I am trying to scan our RedHat servers and everything works great except for the software scans. I have set the "Scan Linux Software" setting to "true" and have verified that my SSH is working (using putty). Thinking it might be permissions, I also verified that 'rpm -qa' command works, which it does.
I don't even get a Software tab in the Device view, so I am wondering what the issue may be. Thanks for your help!

What RHEL version is it? Are you logging in as root?
Oct 3, 2011 at 3:53 UTC
Different versions actually (we don't directly manage them, but are authorized to do "what we need to do." ;) )
I do not have root access, but have elevated privileges. Maybe it's still a permissions issue?
EDIT: Although I will say, when I scanned one box it did show the user as root. :/
We use AD credentials to authenticate though.

Help with choosing theme for podPress
I would like to ask for some suggestions.
What I would like to do is to create a WP site which is all about podcasts of Travel. Only a few will be mine but I want to use existing shows and just organize them in my site, so people can easily find travel podcasts while visiting the site.
Two questions:
1- Is there such a way to pull in itune/podcast feeds and have them auto populate your plugin?
2- Do you have a theme that you think does very well in organizing podcast topics/subtopics?
- The topic 'Help with choosing theme for podPress' is closed to new replies.


text: Mohali: Punjab, having skittled out Rajasthan for a paltry 111 in the first innings, was 175 for the loss of three wickets in 47 overs at the draw of stumps on the opening day of its five-day pre-quarter final Ranji Trophy knock out tie at the Punjab Cricket Association (PCA) stadium here this evening.Punjab, with the help of unbeaten knocks of 53 and 23 by Pankaj Dharmani and Dinesh Mongia, sterling knock of 40 by R S Rickey and 39 by V Rathore, took a lead of 64 runs with seven first innings wickets intact at draw of stumps. Rajasthan won the toss and elected to bat in a clear and pleasant weather. The visitors were soon in trouble with its openers N Doru and V A Saxena were sent back to the pavilion cheaply by Vineet Kumar in his second and fourth over with the score board reading four and five respectively.By lunch the visitors had lost six wickets for just 75 runs in 34 overs. The remaining four wickets fell for the addition of 36 runs in about 46 minutes after lunch as Reetinder Singh Sodhi and Vineet Kumar with five and four scalps ran through the visitors' innings conceding 40 and 25 runs respectively. The other wicket was claimed by Gagandeep.UNI

This past summer was full of highlights, and sure, some of the time those highlights revolved around raucous games of beach volleyball, wild frisbee tosses and insane stand up paddle-boarding. The reality of summer, however, is that it's beauty is best described by a day in the bike park. Laps with friends, passing each other down the trail and enjoying every minute of it is what we live for.
Here is a short video that I shot along with some lads on bikes (Mike Hopkins, Mason Mashon and Simon Buzacott) and my good friend Andre Nutini, who pulled cables for the better part of three days.

DaniNYC5.0 Stars10-21-2016This coat is fabulous! I ordered up and then ordered the 14/16. And it was better fit. This type of coat is supposed to fit wide because of the cut. It is worth every penny.

cretia1Columbus, OH3.0 Stars10-11-2016I just received this item this week. I wanted to love it but it's SO BIG! I ordered a size 14/16 and it fit as if it was 3 times too big. I had to look at the size a few times just to make sure it was correct. I'm thinking there's no way the model is wearing a size 14 and it fit the way it does on her (and I'm bigger than she is). I was literally swimming in this poncho. The fabric is beautiful and it's very well made. Perfect for fall weather just not perfect for me. I'm going to look back at the reviews in the future to see if anyone else has this issue.How does it fit? Too BigOverall Quality? As ExpectedI own it? Yes15 found this review helpful

Just some heads up on who he is:
He is the only presidential candidate not controlled by donors and lobbyists.
He's the only one who really wants to stop illegal immigration and kick out all the illegals and their anchor babies.
He's the only one who will fight china's currency manipulation and dirty tactics to destroy the US economy.
They call him "chump" and "clown", but the real clows are the career politicians who can't utter a word without a teleprompter, the obamas, bushes, and clintons. When trump makes a speech it's all from his head, he never needs a teleprompter. And he's always honest about his intentions, even if they're not politically correct; If a woman behaves badly he puts her in her place just like he would a man, if illegal aliens commit a lot of crime he's not afraid to say it.
- I will definitely vote for TrumpVote A
- I'm not sure yetVote B
- I will definitely never vote for himVote C

It's hard to say, because when he's asked about specifics, he tends to dodge the question entirely and not provide answers. Can he be trusted?
I like many of his stances that he has talked about. I like that he can't be bought. I like that he's not a politician and not afraid to speak his mind and forego the PC bullshit. I'm not sure where he stands on abortion (something I don't thin should receive federal funding) and I'm not sure where he stands on gun control (I don't think we need more gun control when the current laws are clearly not working).
I'd like to vote for him, but there are too many uncertainties at this point. But I guarantee I won't be voting for Hilary.30|30|0
He's firmly against abortion and against gun control in his statements. He's said this many times over.
bigger question will he support a constitutional amendment to get the money out of politics
@cjmtherfcker I really hope that happens. If our politicians had better term limits and LESS of a salary, I think we'd have a better functioning system. It's not possible to have a healthy system that works for the people, when the potential to make millions of dollars is a motive for your position. Campaigning and funding towards campaigns should be ILLEGAL. Money in exchange for votes DOES happen, and shouldn't. We shouldn't be spending hundreds of thousands of dollars for their personal vacations. They shouldn't receive specialized health/retirement benefits. Take those pleasures away, and I bet we'll see more qualified people to lead our country. Better yet, start from scratch and have several leaders in charge of different things. 1 leader and his/her administration tackles economic things. Another deals with health care. Another deals with homeland security. We have too many cooks in the kitchen and too many thieves in the bank.

As of now I will vote for him. Most of what he says is smart and I like that he speaks his mind. I like that he is independent and won't be controlled by other donation backers. He tells it as it is and will not sugar coat everything like other candidates.
I definitely like that everything he says is promptu. He doesn't need a TelePrompter which is great. Obama can't say more than a couple words without a TelePrompter. I've seen Obama speak without one and he's like here is what uh uh we are gonna do uh uh uh we are gonna um...10|11|2
And to think some people would vote for a president that can't even talk without a TelePrompter.
It's embarrassing that Obama can't speak for himself. Being able to speak off the top of your head is a huge deal and trump is extremely good with that. It shows he truly knows what the issues are and the information surrounding it.

As a mother of 3, I know how firsthand hard it can be to get your "pre-baby" body back. I also know how important it is to give yourself some grace and time to achieve that goal. In reality, women's bodies are not the same post-baby. And that's okay! It's just a new normal. The miracle of childbirth causes many changes...we can establish a new and better level of fitness and health after our sweet baby arrives, if we do it right.
I was the poster child for starting a fitness routine too soon after having a baby - so I'm sharing the following tips - which I recently shared on FOX 59 as a mom and fitness professional.
TIP #1: Keep it low impact.
Some moms really want to get the baby weight off right away, however, your body has been through a marathon, literally, and you need to give it time to heal. Follow your doctor's guidelines and wait the 6 weeks to start any sort of program. Once you have your doctor's approval at about 6 weeks postpartum, I recommend sticking with low-impact exercises, walking, yoga and a personal favorite, PiYo.
TIP #2: Include HIIT workouts
Once you're about 3 months postpartum you can start adding in short, HIIT - High Intensity Interval Training- workouts to your routine. These short bursts of intensity are great for revving up your system and burning some major calories and fat. Suggested exercises: lunges, burpees, skaters, pushups. Choose 4 total body exercises, do as many as you can for a minute each, rest a minute, then go again. Do 4 or 5 rounds to start and add more as you increase your fitness level.
TIP #3: Get good nutrition & sleep.
This may seems like a 'duh' tip, however, good nutrition and adequate sleep is so important. Eat lots of leafy greens, whole foods, fruits and drink plenty of water. "Sleep when the baby sleeps' is great advice and while it may be tempting to use that time to "do something", I'm here to tell you....don't! Don't use it to do anything but sleep yourself! Your body repairs itself during sleep. Making sure you're getting enough sleep will help you heal physically and keep you healthy emotionally and mentally. In addition, when we are sleep deprived, our defenses our down, our immunity is down. We are far more prone to making less-than-stellar nutritional choices, which sets us back in our road to recovery. Sleep is the great healer and will do more for your recovery than almost any other single action. Take that advice, it's been around for generations for a reason, and catch a nap when your baby sleeps. It's truly the best habit your can establish to help you recover more quickly.

18 activities that will make you a better – and happier – cyclist
I'm standing on the jetty at Kona on the big island of Hawaii soon after dawn, watching the start of the legendary Hawaii Ironman Triathlon. In front of me, 1,500 extremely buff humans in swim caps bob nervously in the warm Pacific like brightly colored Ping-Pong balls. Behind me, 1,500 very expensive bikes perch in row upon row of racks, glinting in the rising sun.
The starting siren blares and the calm ocean suddenly roils as if somebody dropped a Big Mac into a school of piranhas. Unleashed, these triathletes won't stop until they drop – or until they've swum 2.4 miles, ridden 112 miles and then run 26.2 miles, whichever comes first. The swiftest will finish in just over 8 1/2 hours (and average more than 23 mph on the bike); the slowest will take almost 17 hours.
As I bear witness throughout the long, hot, windy day, my bikie-bred disdain for "tri-geeks" takes a beating. These multisport athletes' conditioning, spirit and toughness blow me away. They're fit in a way that no single-sport guy like me can ever be.
I noticed it even in the days before the race while strolling through Kona. I'm used to the classic pro cyclist look: hunched shoulders, famine-victim upper body, sequoia-like quads. But triathletes' bodies look so balanced, so healthy: actual muscles above the waist, sculpted legs sans cycling's extra-kneecap look, and bronzed thighs and stomachs that have more than a passing acquaintance with sunlight.
But the difference isn't just physical. So many of the multisport athletes I've met over the years seem friendlier, happier and more inclusive about their disciplines than a lot of bikies I know. Maybe it's easier to socialize while running or hanging at the pool than when riding a paceline or shredding a singletrack. Maybe because triathlons focus more on individual challenge than on dropping that slimeball on your wheel. Or maybe because it's hard to be snobby and insular when you're constantly dipping your toes into different sports.
Besides – admit it – don't you sometimes want a little break from your bike? Bikes will always rule, of course, but an alternative sport can douse burn-out, maintain fitness, help prevent overuse injuries, and exercise dormant skills and muscles that complement your cycling.
"When I was training for the Ironman," says cycling legend (and 1981 Iroman winner) John Howard, "it refreshed me to go from one sport to another. As much as we love our bikes, they're not the be-all and end-all. It's about balance. Cyclists tend to get very drawn into their own sport."
Now, before your heart rate starts to spike, forget about the Ironman. Of the 1,000 triathlons held each year in the U.S., the most popular is the sprint distance: 1/3-mile swim, 15-mile bike, and 3.1-mile run. (Hydrophobes always have bike-run duathlons to challenge them.)
If you get hooked, try the international distance (0.93-mile swim/24.8 bike/6.2 run) – the length for the first-ever Olympic triathlon, to be held at the 2000 Games in Australia. For dirt lovers, triathlons with an off-road bike leg are gaining popularity. (For more info on triathlons, contact: USA Triathlon, 800/874-1872, CO; www.usatriathlon.org.)
Of course, swimming and running aren't the only cross-training options – just the most popular and accessible for most of us. For more cycling-friendly sports, see page 51.
To help you get started, we present this multisport primer that includes tips, techniques, workouts and products for swimming, running and cycling (against the clock). Some of the info comes from the experts at BICYCLING's sister magazines Runners' World and Fitness Swimmer. We gleaned other tips last winter at the Mrs. T's Multisport School of Champions (760/944-1367, CA; www.multisports.com). Teachers at the five-day clinic included Howard, eight-time Hawaii Ironman winner Paula Newby-Fraser, '97 champ Heather Fuhr, top swim coach Roch Frey and veteran runner Danny Abshire.
So cross the barrier, break the routine. It's a wide world of sports out there, and if you play the right games, they'll all pay off when you get on your bike.
Stroke of Genius
Weak upper body? Knee injury? Swimming can make you a more balanced rider
Of all the multisport options, swimming probably worries cyclists the most. Our bodies – generally weaker torsos and beefy legs – aren't exactly dolphin-like in the wet stuff.
Too bad we feel that way, because swimming is a great complement to riding. It works your neglected upper body, babies your joints and provides a fiendish cardiovascular workout.
The biggest mistake cyclist-swimmers make (besides wearing Speedos with our Farmer John tan lines) is trying to use our cycling strengths to power through the water. That is, we think the harder we kick and the sooner we pull our arms through the water, the faster we'll go. But au contraire.
"Swimming is a finesse sport," says leading coach Roch Frey. "Don't slap the water." The goal is form and efficiency, which will eventually beget speed. So think shark. Think missile. But don't think windmill.
Frey's Technique Tips
Body position is key. Forger those childhood instructors who told you the water surface should lap against your forehead in freestyle swimming. Instead, look down and slightly forward. If you lift your head, your hips and heels sink. You waste much more energy dragging your lower body through the water than skimming across the top. "It doesn't matter what you're doing if it's not being done close to the surface," Frey says.
Get it off your chest. The best way to propel yourself is to roll from side to side. Extend your right arm forward and glide on your right side while your left arm recovers out of the water. Keep gliding in this position until your left arm comes around and almost touches (or "catches up" to) your extended right arm. Then as you pull through the water with your right arm, roll onto your left side with the left arm extended. Frey calls this a "cheating catch-up" stroke. The goal is to take fewer strokes per lap, not more. This technique also helps avoid shoulder injuries.
Use your arms and hands correctly. Your hand should enter the water flat or even pinkie-first. This provides the most power, not thumb-first as used to be taught. And remember, you get most of your power from the last half of the stroke, so pull through the water with slowly increasing force.
Breathe left and right. The optimal breathing pattern is bilateral, in which you breathe every third stroke (alternating breathing on your right and left side). It's okay to breathe every second stroke if you can only do so on one side or need to breathe more frequently, but this will lead to an imbalanced stroke (and possibly shoulder injury). You also won't swim as straight.
StrechCordz Pro CrossTrainer
Calm down: That's not bondage gear you see here. The StrechCordz Pro Crosstrainer – which includes latex tubing, harness and hand paddles – is exercise equipment for in-the-pool or on-land training. In water, you can use the LongBelt option for resistance swim training. Or employ the ShortBelt for stationary swimming – say, if you're traveling and have access only to one of those dinky hotel pools, If you can't get to the pool at all, the system provides several exercises designed to mimic the smooth, consistent resistance of water. Cost: $120. NZ Manufacturing, 800/886-6621 (WA); www.nzmfg.com
You'll look like an amputee Daffy Duck, but these shorty fins are designed to make you swim faster and more powerfully. Zoomers increase the efficiency of your kick so you can work more of your body's muscle mass and get a better workout. Zoomers also increase your speed, which lets you get higher in the water, enabling you to roll your body more. This in turn helps your arms turn over faster, so you can breathe more often and work harder. Cost is $35 to $45. Zoomers, 800/852-2909 (WA).
Speedo Stroke Monitor
Think of the $90 Stroke Monitor as a cyclecomputer for swimming. This wristwatch-style unit helps gauge your efficiency. effort and technique so you can improve your stroke and the quality of your workout. Features include elapsed time, number of stroke cycles and cycles per minute. The competition model also features distance per stroke cycle, swim-efficiency index, speed (in yards or meters per second) and cycles per minute. The fitness model shows distance swum and calories burned. Speedo, 800/577-3336 (CA).

Runaway Success
Not enough time to ride? Running will help keep you lean and mean
Can't run – bad knees. Jogging? Too boring. We've heard it all before from anti-running cyclists (many of them on our staff), but we say to everyone, "Give it a chance." Just do yourself a favor and do it right.
For advice on getting started we turned to Danny Abshire, a 20-year distance and ultra-distance runner and co-owner of Active Imprints, a Boulder, Colorado, company that makes custom orthotics. Abshire recommends Galloway's Book on Running by Jeff Galloway as a great place to start, but here are the basics laid out at your feet.
Shod yourself correctly. Get the right running shoe for your foot type by visiting a reputable running store with knowledgeable staff. For objective info, check out the annual March running shoe guide from our sister publication, Runner's World (800/666-2828).
"You can't do anything until you understand your foot type," says Abshire.
Start slowly. The distance may sound lame to cyclists, but rookie runners should start by running no more than one mile – even alternating walking and jogging at first. Do it every other day, up to three times a week. Increase your mileage by 10% per week (i.e., 1.1 miles in week 2, and so on).
Stretch it out. Stretching is crucial, especially right after running. Abshire recommends Bob Anderson's book Stretching.
Stay inside the lines. Picture a side view of you running, surrounded by an imaginary circle. The objective is not to let any part of your body travel outside that circle. Aim for rapid leg turnover, similar to a good spin on the bike, rather than taking long strides. Work to eliminate wasted motion.
Stand proud. Keep your torso erect but relaxed. You should be able to draw a line perpendicular to the ground from shoulders to hips. Keep your arms relaxed, too, and don't swing them across your body.
Drill yourself. Follow these drills that are recommended by Abshire to improve form and leg turnover. Do each for 20 to 50 yards:
High knees. Raise your knees to your hips quickly. Relax knees and arms, lean forward slightly.
Butt kicks. Quickly bring your heels to your butt. Start easy, don't lean forward, keep your knee slightly forward.
Skipping. Focus on picking your feet up rather than putting them down. Stay smooth, don't bounce, go one foot at a time.
Do these drills after a short or medium-distance running workout, on grass if possible. To strengthen your feet, perform them barefoot. Do two sets of each and recover completely between each set.
The Stick
Even a carefully built-up running program can leave you with sore legs. A soothing antidote is The Stick, a self-massage device consisting of a flexible rod with handgrips on each end and rolling cylinders in the middle. Designed to promote healthy muscle tissue, it can work virtually all parts of your body, from quads to calves, hips to back, neck to forearms. Tired cycling muscles seem to like it, too. Available in various lengths/flexibility, including: 17 inches ($26), 20 inches ($30) and 24 inches ($40), RPI, 800/554-1501 (GA); www.thestick.com
Blisters are to running as saddle sores are to Cycling. Fortunately they're treatable, if supremely annoying. Many of our running friends are becoming partial to Bodyglide. Made from plant waxes, it's a natural lubricant that protects skin against irritation. It's easy to apply (tike a roll-on deodorant), water- and sweat-proof, hypoallergenic and petroleum-free (which makes it good for use with wetsuits, too.) It also goes on cleanly and has no odor. Bodyglide costs $6 for a half-ounce container. Sternoff, 888/263-9454 (WA).
Your feet carry a heavy load – namely you. Superfeet footbeds are designed to improve comfort and support by cradling your feet in specially shaped liners that fit in running shoes. (They also offer footbeds for cycling shoes.) Features include rear and mid-foot control points, a support bridge and shock absorption. Cost: $29 per pair. They're a good alternative for those who can't afford custom orthotics, which can cost more than $200. Superfeet, 800/6346618 (WA); www.superfeet.com
* Giving you a great workout in a short time
* Keeping you lean while traveling
* Offering a low-tech fitness alternative
Time Travel
Get stronger and faster by cycling against the clock
Of course, the best part about doing a multisport event is the bike leg, where you get to pass all those people whose strengths lie elsewhere (like on the run, where they'll pass you). Time trialing develops your power, serves as a great gauge of your fitness and presents a perfect way to feed your competitive urges without fear of group carnage.
Both an art and a science, time trialing demands special equipment, training and bike setup. John Howard whose resume includes multiple national cycling championships and a world land-speed record knows a thing or three about this craft. (For details on his Cycling School of Champions, call 760/944-3787; CA.) Howards's advice:
Get down, get aero. If the budget's tight, adjust your road bike for time trialing by installing a bolt-on aero bar and moving your saddle forward (about 1 inch to start), tilting it a couple of degrees below level. The goal is a flat back and bent elbows. If you can afford it, get a time-trial bike with an aero bar and a steep seat angle (75 to 78 degrees, versus the traditional 73 degrees) for increased power and better aerodynamics. To save time and avoid hassles in the long run, consider buying an extra seatpost and saddle, adjusting them for your time-trialing position, then swapping them with your standard post and seat for TTs and triathlons. (For more on aero bikes and positioning, see "The Need for Speed," August.)
Make time for trials. If a local club stages mid-week time trials, get your butt out there every other week. Or do solo efforts against the clock of, say, five miles. Pick a course that's safe, flat (so you can concentrate on all-out speed rather than climbing and descending) and out-and-back (to get used to riding with a headwind and tailwind).
Spin your own spin. Gear selection is an individual choice, but Howard says it should yield a cadence of 80 to 100 rpm. To determine your optimum cadence, do a series of practice time trials using different gearing in each. Track your time and heart rate to find what gears work best.
Jam for the fitness. Intervals provide some of the best training. Howard recommends two or three two-minute jams at about 10% below your anaerobic threshold with about one minute rest in between. Do these twice a week, outdoors or on an indoor trainer.
Take a long ride home. Combine intervals with one weekend day of steady, long-distance (longer than your race) riding of three to four hours. On the other weekend day, do a brick workout (which is triathlon-speak for combining sports).
For instance, ride a few miles, run a 1/4-mile, and repeat. This accustoms your body to switching muscle groups. Reserve other days for recovery cycling (and hard efforts in other sports).

#43 One out of every six Americans is now enrolled in at least one government anti-poverty program.
#44 Federal housing assistance increased by a whopping 42 percent between 2006 and 2010.
#45 The amount of money that the federal government gives directly to Americans has increased by 32 percent since Barack Obama entered the White House.
As the middle class is systematically destroyed, families are looking for ways to survive any way that they can.
Why do you think that dollar stores are absolutely thriving these days?
It is because that is the only place many families can afford to shop.
So what is the solution?
Well, many liberals claim that the solution is to tax the wealthy and redistribute their money to the poor.
But that is definitely not the answer.
That would give the wealthy more of an incentive to take their wealth and their businesses out of the United States, and it would give the poor more of an incentive to sit around and not work.
When I was younger, if I could have gotten the government to pay my bills I probably never would have worked at all. I was quite lazy and I probably would have been more than happy to sit at home and collect government checks.
It is only human nature not to work hard when you have someone else willing to take care of you. For example, Vice-President Joe Biden recently revealed that he stayed in the U.S. Senate for so long because he didn't want "a real job". There is a part of all of us that would like to avoid hard work.
So redistributing wealth is not going to be good for society as a whole. It penalizes being productive and it rewards being lazy.
And our tax system is already way too oppressive for those that honestly pay their taxes.
Did you know that the average American must work 107 days just to make enough money to pay their taxes?
That is before a single penny is earned for anything else.
That is absolutely obscene!
This year, the average American will spend approximately 29 percent of what they make on federal, state and local taxes.
No, the truth is that our current tax system is horrific and it needs to be thrown out.
But that is a topic for another article.
Getting back to the dying middle class, the real answer is to break up big government and to break up the big corporations and promote competition in our economy once again.
We need wealth and power to be spread out into millions and millions of hands.
We need a system that tremendously encourages small businesses instead of absolutely crushing them.
We need dozens of competitors in most industries instead of just a handful.
We need to empower average Americans to be their own bosses instead of being dependent on big government and big corporations.
We need a system that gives "the little guy" a fighting chance.
It could be done if the American people were willing to reign in big government and the big corporations.
If you believe in the U.S. Constitution, you should believe in limiting the power of the federal government and limiting the power of the big corporations.
Those are principles that our founding fathers believed in, and those are principles that we need to return to.
James 5:1 Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you.
Jas 5:2 Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten.
Jas 5:3 Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days.
Jas 5:4 Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth.
Jas 5:5 Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter.
Jas 5:6 Ye have condemned and killed the just; and he doth not resist you.
Jas 5:7 Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain.
Jas 5:8 Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh.
They will throw their silver into the streets
, and their gold will be an unclean thing.
Their silver and gold will not be able to save them
in the day of the LORD's wrath
They will not satisfy their hunger or fill their stomachs with it, for it has made them stumble into sin.
Ezekiel 7:19
The following are 22 red flags that indicate that very serious doom is coming for global financial markets....
#1 According to CNN, the level of selling by insiders at corporations listed on the S&P 500 is the highest that it has been in almost a decade. Do those insiders know something that the rest of us do not?
#2 Home prices in the United States have fallen for six months in a row and are now down 35 percent from the peak of the housing market. The last time that home prices in the U.S. were this low was back in 2002.
#3 It is now being projected that the Greek economy will shrink by another 5 percent this year.
#4 Despite wave after wave of austerity measures, Greece is still going to have a budget deficit equivalent to about 7 percent of GDP in 2012.
#5 Interest rates on Italian and Spanish sovereign debt are rapidly rising. The following is from a recent RTE article....
Spain's borrowing rate nearly doubled in a short-term debt auction as investors fretted over the euro zone's determination to deal with its debts.
And Italy raised nearly 3.5 billion in a short-term bond sale today but at sharply higher interest rates amid fresh concerns over the euro zone outlook, the Bank of Italy said.
#6 The government of Spain recently announced that its 2011 budget deficit was much larger than originally projected and that it probably will not meet its budget targets for 2012 either.
#7 Amazingly, bad loans now make up 8.15 percent of all loans on the books of Spanish banks. That is the highest level in 18 years. The total value of all toxic loans in Spain is equivalent to approximately 13 percent of Spanish GDP.
#8 One key Spanish stock index has already fallen by more than 19 percent so far this year.
#9 The Spanish government has announced a ban on all cash transactions larger than 2,500 euros. Many are interpreting this as a panic move.
#10 It is looking increasingly likely that a major bailout for Spain will be needed. The following is from a recent Reuters article....
Economic experts watching Spain don't know how much money will be needed or precisely when, but some are near certain that Madrid will eventually seek a multi-billion euro bailout for its banks, and perhaps even for the state itself.
#11 Analysts at Moody's Analytics are warning that Italy has now reached financially unsustainable territory....
"Italy is already out of fiscal space, in our estimate." said Moody's. "Its debt levels relative to GDP already exceed a manageable level. The manageable limit for Italian 10-year bond yields is estimated at 4.2pc. As of Wednesday, Italian 10-year yields were 5.46pc."
#12 It is being projected that the Portuguese economy will shrink by 5.7 percent during 2012.
#13 There is even trouble in European nations that have been considered relatively stable up to this point. For example, the Dutch government collapsed on Monday after austerity talks broke down.
#14 The head of the IMF, Christine Lagarde, says that there are "dark clouds on the horizon" for the global economy.
#15 The top economist for the IMF, Olivier Blanchard, recently made this statement: "One has the feeling that at any moment, things could get very bad again."
#16 A recent IMF report admitted that the current financial crisis could lead to the break up of the eurozone....
Under these circumstances, a break-up of the euro area could not be ruled out. The financial and real spillovers to other regions, especially emerging Europe, would likely be very large.
This could cause major political shocks that could aggravate economic stress to levels well above those after the Lehman collapse.
#17 George Soros is publicly declaring that the European Union could soon experience a collapse similar to what happened to the Soviet Union.
#18 A member of the European Parliament, Nigel Farage, stated during one recent interview that it is inevitable that some major banks in Europe will collapse....
There are going to be some serious banking collapses and the impact of that on some sovereign states, will be serious. Im afraid weve gotten to a point where we really cant stop this now. Were beginning to reach a stage where however much false money you create, the problem becomes bigger than the people trying to solve it. We are very close to that point.
When I talk about the threats and the risk that this thing could wind up in some kind of rebellion, some sort of awful social cataclysm, they (other European politicians) are now very worried indeed. They will talk to you in private, but in public, nobody dares utter a word.
I think the deterioration, in the last two or three weeks, in the eurozone is very serious indeed. Its the bond spreads in Italy and Spain. Its the fact that youth unemployment is now over 50% in some of these Mediterranean countries.
Its riot and disorder on the streets. And yet a month ago I was here and there was Herman Van Rumpuy telling us, Weve turned the corner. Everything is solved. There are no more problems with the eurozone. What a pack of jokers they look like.
#19 The IMF is projecting that Japan will have a debt to GDP ratio of 256 percent by next year.
#20 Goldman Sachs is projecting that the S&P 500 will fall by about 11 percent by the end of 2012.
#21 Over the past six months, hundreds of prominent bankers have resigned all over the globe. Is there a reason why so many are suddenly leaving their posts?
#22 The 9 largest U.S. banks have a total of 228.72 trillion dollars of exposure to derivatives. That is approximately 3 times the size of the entire global economy. It is a financial bubble so immense in size that it is nearly impossible to fully comprehend how large it is.

Create and save custom workspaces
The application's design is pretty intuitive, with adjustable panels so you can clearly view packets, timelines or project elements so you can quickly access them. What's more, you can save your workspace configuration to use for multiple tasks and this comes in handy because you can slightly customize the view with more or less tabs and sections.
Configure connection settings and trace multiple targets
A neat advantage is the possibility to simultaneously trace multiple addresses, with detail windows stored in tabs. Connecting to a target is easily done by manually writing down either the URL or IP address in a dedicated fields. All targets are saved in a list so you can quickly access them later on.
Hitting the "Start" button is all it takes to send a few packets to the selected target. On the other hand, there are several settings to configure, depending on the testing scenario. For short-term analysis, the sampling number can be set, with the default value being unlimited, trace intervals can be specified in seconds, as well as the number of samples to include.
Gather and save packet info
As soon as the process is put in motion, all packets are displayed, with a timeline view updating in real time according to your specifications. Each element you select highlights all of its components for better view. Bringing up the context menu enables you to manage a few more settings like obtaining whois info, display summary, show graphs or even configure alerts.
Set up alerts for various scenarios
The notification system gives you the possibility to set up several parameters to be announced of any changes. As such, you can write down a custom name for easy identification, set the number of samples to examine, the method used which can either be for latency and packet loss or MOS, multiple target configurations, as well as the action to trigger when conditions are met.

Fogarty and GAINSCO/Bob Stallings Racing Qualify Fourth Fastest for Saturday's Mexico City 250 At Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez
MEXICO CITY, Mexico (April 18, 2008) -- A frustrating on-track session didn't prevent Jon Fogarty and GAINSCO/Bob Stallings Racing from posting a season's best fourth-place starting position in qualifying today for Saturday's Mexico 250 at Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez. Fogarty, teammate Alex Gurney and the GAINSCO/Bob Stallings Racing team will defend their 2007 Mexico City 250 victory in Saturday's 100-lap race that can be seen live on SPEED at 4 p.m. ET.
Although Friday's time of 1:19.706 (112.915 mph) to lock down fourth on the grid topped the team's qualifying results from the year's previous two races in the Rolex 24 At Daytona (11th) and the GAINSCO Grand Prix of Miami (5th), Fogarty knew the No. 99 GAINSCO Auto Insurance Pontiac Riley was capable of winning the pole.
"We just didn't have a great qualifying session," Fogarty said. "I think the car was capable of more than that and we just didn't get out in the best spot and take advantage of our tires when they were at their optimum. The places where other guys decide to slow down in order to give themselves a gap, I can only assume that they are intentionally trying to screw the rest of the field, which is very bad sportsmanship. If you are going to get a gap you might as well do it at one of the many places on this track where you are not going to impede other people. It's just unfortunate that's what these people have to revert to if they don't have the speed."
Shaking off Friday's frustrations, both Fogarty and Gurney feel they have a race car that can carry them to the team's first repeat victory on Saturday. The GAINSCO No. 99 was fastest in Thursday's opening day of practice and clocked in third quickest in the lone morning practice before Friday's qualifying.
"We have a fast car so we still think we have a very, very good shot of winning this thing," Fogarty said. "We have got a car that can win but you really want to be able to go out and show it in qualifying. Now we will just have to do it in the race."
Fogarty will start the race from the outside of the second row and will then hand over to Gurney as the duo did to win last year's Mexico City 250. Any pressure to turn in a repeat performance has not been felt by the team or Gurney, who has all but shaken off a cold that still lingered with him on Thursday.
"No pressure," Gurney said. "It's a long season and we want to keep putting up good results. We just got caught out a little bit there in qualifying with the traffic, but we still feel good about the pace of the car. In general we are excited to get it on."
This is the fourth time the Grand-Am Rolex Series has raced in Mexico and the GAINSCO squad's 2007 victory was the first for the team in Daytona Prototype competition and proved to be the springboard to winning both the Rolex Series Driver and Team Championships. In total, the team won six more times -- half of 2007's 14 races -- in the most dominating Daytona Prototype season in Grand-Am Rolex Sports Car Series history.

Internet is the new battlefield for corporation and a playground for SMEs. All the organizations are trying to control the information issued on the internet while they are monitoring their social media.
What a visionary company should know is that the data provided on internet can be an asset. As a marketer I believe web archiving can be used for more than compliance purpose. Some solutions allow the user to perform data mining activities. However, almost all solutions on the market target organizations under regulations, which is according to me the easiest way to pitch their solutions. I am cautious that some solutions have limits and can only archive snapshots or very specific contents. In that case basing their communication on compliance and litigation is legitimate, "it does the work".
All analysts and marketers love metrics, especially when they are nicely wrapped in an attractive gift paper. Some solution providers understood it. Today we need the accurate information, and we want it now or the soonest to keep us busy when we're chasing a promotion or running late on delivering a marketing plan.
The good thing is that these fantastic toys can be useful but soon analysts will become obsolete (hopefully not!). A 3rd grade can understand Google analytics.
In my humble opinion IT solution providers should review their marketing, price, and communication strategies, because either they are overselling the business or not communicating the right way.
After all, what's the purpose of purchasing a cloud based solution if it costs more than buying and In-House (one-time fee) and hiring an engineer.

Data mining has been going on for as long as there been data to mine. Once upon a time, consumers were told to be careful where they gave their home address, then where they gave their home phone number, then where to give their mobile number. Email addresses and social media activity is really no different. The question isn't whether this is OK. The question is whether companies gathering data are transparent in what they're gathering and how they intend to use it, whether they allow users to opt out, and making the opt-out process easy. Better, use opt-in to ensure that the folks on your list(s) want to see what you're sharing!
NPR aired a neat tangentally-related story on Monday about how the US presidential campaigns are using perfectly legal data mining to match their registered voter data with various online markers to target online advertising.
I think this is a good example of what Kefi is saying.

A court officer will seek more than $210 million for victims of convicted Houston swindler Robert Allen Stanford's multibillion-dollar Ponzi scheme by forcing other Stanford investors to return profits.
In some cases, those court-approved claims could have a devastating impact on retirees, a Baton Rouge lawyer said Friday.
Meanwhile, Stanford is serving a 110-year federal prison term for his conviction on fraud charges after his Ponzi scheme was shut down by federal authorities in February 2009. Stanford, 64, maintains he is innocent. He is appealing for reversal of his conviction.
Late Thursday, a three-judge panel of the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the right of Dallas, Texas, lawyer Ralph S. Janvey to sue Stanford investors who made money from their investments for all of their profits. Any money remaining after collection of expenses would be distributed to victims who lost some or all of their investments.
For more than five years, Janvey has been the court-appointed receiver responsible for recovering as much as possible of the estimated $5 billion to $7 billion lost to Stanford's Ponzi scheme by more than 20,000 investors in the U.S. and more than 100 other countries.
A Ponzi scheme is disguised as a legitimate investment program. Few, if any, legitimate investments are made by scheme operators, however. Instead, early investors are paid fake profits from money poured into the program by later investors. Still more investors empty their piggy banks into the black hole because of word-of-mouth reports of the program's success.
Throughout such yearslong schemes, criminals are pocketing the majority of the cash and living large as more and more people invest in what appears to be a profitable enterprise.
In 2009, Janvey attempted to force all Stanford investors to surrender all cash they recovered before the man siphoning their savings was shut down and jailed.
The 5th Circuit, however, blocked that plan, noting the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission had long-standing policies forbidding collection of Ponzi money from investors who lost any of their principal to conspirators like Stanford.
By the end of last year, Janvey had recovered $240.9 million, court records show. Janvey's team of lawyers, accountants, investigators and clerical staff received $64.2 million of that total. Another $54.7 million was spent on receivership expenses. Some of Stanford's more than 20,000 victims had received reimbursements totaling $30 million worldwide.
Now, armed with the 5th Circuit's favorable decision, Janvey is headed after money paid to some of Stanford's early investors.
Houston lawyer Kevin M. Sadler, representing Janvey, said, "The receiver is very pleased with this decision. This ruling is in accord with decisions of every other federal circuit court that has addressed the issue of whether investors who profited from a Ponzi scheme can retain their profits."
Sadler said net-winner investors who have fought Janvey's claims in court also have increased their debts to the receivership.
"Investors who were paid profits from the Stanford Ponzi scheme are liable to the receivership for those profits, plus attorneys' fees and prejudgment interest," Sadler said.
"The law simply does not allow anyone to profit from a Ponzi scheme, and that includes investors whose profits were paid with funds taken by fraud from other investors."
How much could be recovered from net-winner investors?
"The receiver has filed claims against dozens of defendants to recover over $210 (million) in profits paid out by the Ponzi scheme," Sadler said.
Any recovered funds, Sadler said, will be used to partially compensate more than 18,000 net-loser investors in the United States and other countries in South America, Europe and elsewhere around the globe.
Baton Rouge lawyer Phillip W. Preis represents more than a dozen net-winner investors targeted by Janvey for confiscation of their Stanford profits.
"We always knew that the equitable arguments in this case favored paying back the (profits) to the receiver so that people who lost money could receive a portion of their money," Preis said.
"However, in reality, very little of the amount that is repaid by these retirees will actually go to people who lost money in Baton Rouge," Preis added. He said that is because the number of foreign investors who lost money to Stanford is much larger than the number of victims in Louisiana and other states.
Preis also noted receivership fees and expenses will be deducted from money recovered from net-winner investors.
"If the money was actually going to people they (Preis' clients) knew, it would have been repaid long ago," the lawyer said.
"It is truly sad for a number of my clients because they have retired and have been living off the (profits) for many years prior to the failure of Stanford in 2009," Preis said. "It will be difficult for them to pay it back and continue their normal retirement."
