The sunlight came pouring into the room waking up Joseph. Rubbing the sleep from his eyes and looking around, he could not see Allie. The murmur of many voices floated to him from outside his window. Getting up he investigated and found the entire camp, as well as Allie, at morning prayers. Joseph watched as Allie spread out his prayer rug and performed his morning ritual. He was impressed, as he always was, by the feeling of peaceful devotion and harmony that he always felt when he attended Mosque. He could not understand how so much violence could come from that. Yet he knew that evil people could and did use any religion to justify whatever they wanted. He quickly washed and dressed and joined the campers for breakfast. When breakfast was over, he and Allie watched the camp color war and were surprised and delighted by the vigor and intensity displayed by not only the staff but by the campers as well. While there were foot races, swimming and diving competitions, the contests that seemed to arouse the most interest among the campers were the Martial Arts. The hand-to-hand combat was realistic and as close to the real thing as any Joseph had known. The kids showed more spirit and enthusiasm than any basic trainees he had ever seen. Several times the referees had to step in and stop the bouts.
'We try to teach our boys the Martial Arts because they teach discipline as well as how to defend yourself. The kids sometimes go overboard. But, lets face it - most of them come from dangerous parts of the city and need some form of personal protection in order to survive.' The camp director said. 'One never knows when one will need to protect himself.'
'True.' said Joseph. 'I remember one night about two years ago on a back street in New York City when I had to use my training to defend against a mugger. If I had not had that training I would not be standing here today.'
After lunch Allie and Joseph watched and acted as referees in the event of the day, a 'Paint Gun' game. This was not your usual 'Cowboy and Indian' game, but rather a well-planned military firefight. There were platoons and leaders and trackers. The exercise ended when one of the teams captured the other's command post. The losers were all lined up and made to strip off their clothing and kneel down in subjugation. The victors then marched the vanquished off to the dock to be executed. The execution consisted of the losers being forced to jump into the lake while the winners shouted 'Into the sea with you'. After the losers were all soaked, the winners lined up and Joseph and Allie then presented the winning team members with medals and ribbons.
It was a fun day and everyone was exhausted. While they were at dinner, Allie received a call and appeared to be arguing with the caller. When he hung up, he whispered to Joseph that they had to leave right away. When Joseph asked why, the Arab just said he would fill him in later on the way home. Allie made their apologies and they packed their stuff and got into the car and left.
Once in the car, Allie turned to Joseph and said, 'I'm sorry, but that was a call from the office of His Eminence, the Emir. His plans have changed and he will fly into N.Y.C. tomorrow morning. He has requested a meeting with you in Paterson at your house tomorrow night.'
'My God, I wonder what's happened to change his plans. I don't think we can get ready to receive him by then.'
'There is nothing special we need to do. As for his change of plans, I should have expected it. He usually does things like this. It is a matter of security with him. He likes to change plans at the last minute. Keeps his enemies off guard. If you remember, Arafat also changed plans at the last moment as well as making it a habit of sleeping in a different place every night to avoid being assassinated.'
'Well, I think it is wonderful to have the meeting at my home. Just think of how Fazzi would have felt having the Emir as his guest. Is there anything I have to do to get ready for him?'
'There is nothing for you to do. I will take care of everything. That is why you pay me.' Allie said. 'Oh! Yes, there is one thing more. I know it is silly, but do you happen to have a gun at the house?'
Joseph laughed, 'As a matter of fact I do. It is locked in the safe in my bedroom. I purchased it to protect Fazzi and myself when we were traveling together. Before that he used that big chauffer of his for a bodyguard. While Fazzi tolerated him, I hated him and never trusted him to protect us.'
'Well, you better let me have it. I will see that it is returned to you when he leaves. The only armed personnel allowed around him will be his security people. You and the house will be searched before the Emir is allowed into the house. And Joseph one thing more - please do not argue with him. He hates to be argued with. Treat him with respect just like a King. He is coming to meet you for the first time and he wants to ascertain if you are Fazzi's true son. While you may have the legal papers to prove Fazzi adopted you, in the eyes of our people, his Excellency is the only legal approval that really counts. If he deems you such, it will really open every doorway for us. It will make both of us very powerful men and I think we will both like that very much.'
'Powerful?? I don't want to be powerful.'
'You will have no choice. His word is law. No more questions now. After he leaves, and if he approves of you, I will be glad to tell you everything and anything you want to know. Look, I think it will be best if you drop me at my apartment. I have some things to arrange for tomorrow evening. If you will wait while I go up I will bring you an overnight bag with appropriate clothing for me to wear. If you take it home with you now, it will save me having to lug it tomorrow night.'
'What about me?' Joseph asked. 'Will I need anything special?'
'Just a business suit will do for you.' When they reached Allie's apartment Allie said, 'There is no need for you to come up. Wait for me in the car.'
'Hey, do I have a few minutes to stretch my legs while you are up there?' Joseph asked.
'Sure it will take me about ten to twenty minutes. You can even come up if you want to wait up there.'
'No thanks. I just want to stretch my legs a bit.' Joseph said, getting out of the car and stretching himself. After Allie entered his apartment building, Joseph walked up the block, rounded the corner and pulled out his cell phone. He quickly punched in Barns' telephone number and when he got on the phone he quickly gave him a report on what was going on.
'Keep us informed if you can. We will have your back covered -just in case. This sounds like it might be important. Speaking of important, I have arranged a meeting with 'Our Friend' on Tuesday. How does that sound?'
'Great. I'll be there. You make the arrangements.' he said and rang off. He then called Summaya and told her to prepare the guest room for tomorrow night. Then he headed back to the car. A few minutes later, Allie exited his apartment and found Joseph waiting for him at the car.
'I hope I wasn't too long.' he said and threw his overnight bag in the back seat.
'No, I did have time to call and tell the housekeeper to prepare the guest room for tomorrow night and then take the evening off. Do you think I should also have her prepare some food as well?'
Allie laughed, 'You do not have to do that. I will order some food delivered to the house for His Eminence and us. But the one thing she can do for me is to iron what I have in the bag and hang it in the closet for me. I've had this packed away for so long that it has become wrinkled. It is a special robe that his adherents wears when they have an audience with the Emir.'
'Well in that case I will have her do that and then she can take the evening off unless you think we need her to serve the food.'
'No, we will not need her and I don't want outsiders in the house when our guest is there. In fact, it might even be better if you give her Monday off also. That way you and I can sleep late without worry of her finding us in bed together.' Allie snickered. 'Look, I don't know what the Emir wants to say to you and the fewer people around the better. I have a few things to do tonight. You go home and get a good night's sleep. Maybe you will have a repeat of last night's dream. Perhaps you will discover it was really my manhood that you were riding and we will make it come true after His Eminence leaves.'
'This really has me worried.' Joseph said, 'What if he doesn't like me?'
'Don't be foolish. How can he not like you? I think that this is going to really work out very well.' Allie said as he hugged Joseph and kissed both his cheeks then went back into the apartment building.
Joseph drove home.
Late Sunday afternoon, Allie arrived and started to prepare for the visit. He checked that Joseph was dressed nicely and then dressed himself in the beautifully embroidered Arab caftan that the housekeeper had ironed for him. The soldier took his gun out of the safe and gave it to Allie. About 5:30 P.M. the Emir's security team, consisting of two men, arrived and did a search of the estate and Joseph. Allie turned over Joseph's gun and the security guard signaled the Emir that all was secure. While one of the security men stayed with Joseph, Allie and the other man left the room to escort the Emir from his car. They soon returned with the Emir. Joseph was surprised when the door to the library opened and a little man, maybe 5 feet 9 inches, entered the room. Allie started to introduce Joseph when the Emir smiled at Allie, then raised his hand and pointed at Joseph.
'All of you except Yussef leave the room - now! What I have to say is for his ears only.' he said and when Allie hesitated he said 'You too, Allie' and patting him on the shoulder, he added, 'You did well my son, and I will talk to you later.'
After everyone had left he turned to Joseph and said, 'I wanted them out of here because I needed the time to get to know you. May we sit down together?'
'Yes, Your Eminence. Where would you care to sit?'
'Let us both sit on the sofa. It looks comfortable and conducive to conversation.'
They moved to the sofa and the two of them sat down close to each other. For a few minutes the Emir just sat there looking into Joseph's blue eyes... At first it was very unnerving, but the soldier knew he was being tested so he just stared back at the man. After a while they both smiled and in very formal Arabic, the Emir announced, 'Fazzi was right and I was wrong,' he admitted and then wagged his finger playfully at Joseph. 'But you are never to tell anyone I said that. As Emir, I cannot admit to being in error. You are truly Fazzi's son, as much as if you were born of his seed. I can see that now. But at the time, not having met you, I could not put my seal on your adoption.' He leaned his small frame back into the soft cushions and sighed, 'I remember that last night before he died, your father was telling me of all the plans he had for you. He wanted you to convert and be one of us in spirit as well as body. At that time I would not hear it much less permit it. We had harsh words over it and you might say that we even fought over it. He was angry with me, and even went so far as to say that my judgment was in error. No one ever questioned my judgments before or since.'
'I know that Fazzi wanted me to convert, but he never insisted I had to do it.' Joseph said. 'It was not you or Fazzi that was in error. It was I that made the mistake - I should have told him that I would surrender to the concept of Islam and accept the path of jihad to find the way.'
'But my son, you already have. That is what I can see in your eyes and your heart. You do not have to go through any formal ritual. You are Muslim.' He said. 'As a matter of fact, to tell the truth, I would prefer that you did not take the last step just yet.. You are of much more use to us as you are. I would rather you stay Christian to the outside world. In fact I insist on it. It will serve our cause more that way. There is more that we can accomplish with you as a practicing Christian. That is my wish. As His chief teacher on earth, I could command it, but I would rather you accept my suggestion and accept Allah in your heart.'
'Whatever your Eminence wishes is what I will do.' Joseph said and then added, 'I only wish Fazzi were alive to see the two of us here and now. My surrender to Allah would have pleased him so much.'
'Yes, it would have. But one thing troubles me. How come no fight, no argument? The one thing that Fazzi loved about you, was your love of freedom and your willingness to question? I must admit that I looked forward to it. You must remember that surrender does not mean defeat. Between us, you and I, there can be a feeling of complete freedom. I have too many people around me that think I am Al Mahdi (the messiah). I need someone to remind me that I am not. With the help of Allah, that someone could be you.'
'There are still some things I question and will continue to question, but I'm sure I will find the peace I want and need. Fazzi would have loved to see this.'
'My son, I am sure he is watching us right now and that there are tears in his eyes and he is saying that now, at last, he can enjoy his place in paradise. However, here on earth, you must never be afraid to question me, but do it with discretion and when we are alone. I will be as honest as I can be with you and I demand that you be the same with me. I am still fool enough to wish to be viewed as infallible by others. In private you have my permission to fight for what you believe in. If both of us will agree to this, we can then ask the others to join us.
Joseph, offering his hand in agreement said, 'Then the matter is settled.'
Taking Joseph's hand in his the Emir agreed then he got up and walked to the door and opened it and announced, 'Come in gentlemen. I want you to meet our new and very special family member. I want you all to know that I have decided to grant his father's dying wish and place my unqualified blessing on both him and Fazzi's adoption of him as his son. There will be no more questions as to his legitimacy. Further more as Fazzi was my devoted commander, his son, Yussef ibn Fazzi, now takes his place in my heart and in the hearts of our people. You, Yussef, will be like my son. Since Fazzi is no longer here to do it ---it now becomes my duty as well as my pleasure to find for you a suitable Muslim girl for you to take to your bed as a wife. I was thinking, perhaps one of my granddaughters or someone of that station? Yes, one of my Granddaughters. I have one in mind. Perhaps she is a little too young for you now, but in a few years she will be ripe and fit for you. If she finds favor in your eyes you could be a true son to me. We will have to work on it.' He said with a twinkle in his eye. 'Now let's celebrate this happy evening by eating together as a family.'
'Your Eminence, I would be pleased to accept the hand of such a lovely young woman. You honor me too much. Since the hour is late, would you do me the great honor of accepting my invitation to stay over night here in my house?' Joseph asked.
Allie turned white. 'I'm sure that his Eminence has made other arrangements and security is difficult to adjust to these sudden changes.' he said.
The Emir, laughing, snapped his fingers at his security officer and in a quiet voice said, 'Make it so. It is my wish to spend the night here in the home of my dear friend, the son of Fazzi Muhammad. Now let us eat - I am famished.'
As they were walking into the dinning room Joseph held back and whispered to Allie, 'Allie, please make sure that his Eminence is made comfortable in the room adjoining mine. His staff will take over Kassie's old room.'
Hearing this, Allie pulled him aside and asked, 'And what about me? Where am I going to sleep? You are not thinking that you and I could share a room with the Emir in the adjoining room, are you?'
'Well if you are so ashamed and afraid of His Eminence finding out that we sleep together, you can go home, or get a motel room or sleep in your car. I do not care what you do. Hospitality once offered, you know, it is not permitted to withdraw it.' Joseph whispered out of ear shot of the Emir, and then he again caught up with the Emir and held his chair for him at the head of the table.
As the Emir sat at the table he asked Joseph, 'Are you sure that you have room for all of us? I will not put you out of your bedroom. You know that my entourage and I are Arabs and as such, we are happy to sleep on the desert floor. You, as much as I would love to think of you as an Arab, are not accustomed to doing that. Do not worry about us, just to sleep under the same roof with Fazzi's son is honor enough.'
'You are most kind, Your Eminence, but as a soldier, I too, have slept on the ground. However, I think we have room. You can use the adjoining room to mine and some of your staff can use my sister's old room. Mr. Balbak was planning on going home. He has a report to type up for me on a Boys' Camp we were at yesterday. There was a lot that I liked about it, but also some rather disturbing things. I want to see if he feels the same way.'
'Oh! And what did you find that troubled you?' asked the Emir.
'Just a feeling. It is hard to put my finger on. But it was a bit too military for my tastes. Maybe it is because I will soon be leaving the army, but.. '
'By all means! If you think it is some kind of plot, we would not want the American government to have an opportunity to raid it.'
'I am sure it will be OK. They do have some very good ideas and the staff seems to be very good.' Joseph said. 'We will have to see how it turns out. It will need a lot more investigation before I allow the fund's money to be used in questionable manners.'
Allie asked about the political situation back home and the Emir told him that the time was fast approaching for the Emirate to take over. My UN speech will pave the road.
'I would love to hear that speech. When are you going to give it?' Joseph asked.
'All the speeches will be sometime on Tuesday and Wednesday. Your President will speak on Tuesday morning. I can arrange a seat in our delegation if you would like. As the head of The Arab/American Charity Fund you can act as the Fund's representative.' the Emir said. 'It is done all the time and I would be happy to arrange it. It would be nice to have an American by my side to act as my translator. Someone who might catch some hidden meaning in the President's speech that slips by our people.'
'I would be happy to assist you. I have not had the chance to observe the new President up close yet. He and I do not always agree on policy. I hope that it will not cause me problems as far as my discharge, but I don't think so.' Joseph said. 'I will have to check it out.'
'There will be no problem. I will ask your State Department for permission. You see, Yussef, it pays to have friends in high places. It is all a matter of a thing called, chits. They do something for us - we do something for them. Do not worry; I will take care of it. I will send a car for you Tuesday morning.'
'That would be wonderful. I was planning on visiting my friend, Rich Worth, in the city Monday night. I could take a cab to the U.N. in the morning and meet you there.'
'That is even better. However, you just give my security chief Mr. Worth's address and Tuesday morning at 9 AM we will have a limo with diplomatic plates and full motorcycle escort waiting to drive you to the General Assembly. That way you won't get tangled in traffic and I won't have to worry about you getting there late.'
The next morning after the guests left, Joseph went out into the garden and placed a call to Bill Barns. He informed the FBI Agent about what had happened and asked him to send a 'Sweep Man' over to the house. 'You never can tell. They had security men in the house overnight. They just might have left some little bugs around. I did a sweep with that portable unit you gave me and it looked OK, but like I said, you never can tell. Right now I'm calling you from the garden just to be sure. Do it this morning as the housekeeper is off.'
'I'll see to it as soon as we disconnect. I also want to come over to go over the meeting with our friend. He will be coming into the city tonight. As host nation, the President will be the first to talk early Tuesday morning and I wanted you to meet with him before he spoke. Tonight, he will be staying at a hotel in the city. I can pick you up and escort you.'
'Sounds great. We can talk more when you get here.'
'See you soon. I'm on my way as we talk.'
About a half hour later Bill and Joseph sat in the garden talking while a technician was scanning the house and grounds.
While they waited for him to finish Bill asked, 'All right, what about this camp? Is it legitimate?
'From what I was able to see and hear - plus what those mothers told me, I think not. They are using it as a recruiting and training ground for future operatives. There is too much militancy and I spotted a few framed pictures of known terrorists in some of the tents. While this doesn't really mean anything-you would think they would have taken them down for our visit. At this stage, if I were to withhold funding without a good reason, it would not stop it. On the other hand - if I do fund it - perhaps we could get to learn even more. We will just have to get more information and perhaps place an operative inside. What do you think I should do?'
'We don't have enough to close the place down now. I, too, would like someone in there. Do you know anyone we could use? Perhaps one of the boys whose mothers came to you.'
'That would be too risky. Besides I promised the women I would never expose them. I just can't ask them to spy on their friends.' Joseph said and then he smiled.... 'What about the Mossad? I'm sure they would have a young kid they could get into the camp for us. It would help them as well as us.'
'Maybe. I'll ask around. It might just work.' Bill stated as the technician rejoined them and reported.
'All clear, I found nothing. If there is nothing else, I'll leave now.' The man reported.
'Good and thanks.' Joseph said as the man packed his equipment into his van and drove off.
'Now brief me on how we are going to meet with the President tonight.' Joseph asked.
'Simple. I will bring you to the hotel. We will slip into one of our rooms and change into waiter's uniforms. Since it will be about dinnertime we will bring the President's dinner to him and the two of you will have supper together. He has told me that, baring a national emergency, he has set aside the entire evening for just the two of you. You can talk and get to know each other. Bring him up to date. Tell him everything. He likes to hear things 'from the source' and one thing he will not tolerate is being fed bullshit. He doesn't like you to leave out anything.
'By everything - you mean about my sexual relations with Fazzi, Richard and Allie?'
'He is well aware of your methods and while he may wish that they were different, he will not judge you by them.' Bill said and then started laughing. 'I didn't want to tell you this, but at the time he was informed of your methods I think he is said to have remarked that it was a hell of a lot better than 'Water-boarding'. Anyway be ready, I'll pick you up at 5 tonight.'
'I'm going to call Rich and tell him I'm staying at his place for a few days. You can pick me up there and then drop me off later. The Emir is sending a limo and escort for me the following morning to take me to the U.N.'
'Well aren't we the fancy one.' Bill said with envy in his voice. 'And what did you do for the little man to warrant such treatment.'
'As the head of one of the richest Arab philanthropic organizations on earth, I think I'm worth it!' Joseph laughed. 'No, Bill, get your mind out of the gutter. The Emir only slept in the room next to mine - not in my bed. You better go now as I have to call Rich and tell him I'm going to be staying in his place for a few days.'
'I did not mean that the way it came out. You're not mad at me.... Are you?'
'No. I'm just on edge.' Joseph said as Bill got into his car and left.
After Bill drove off, Joseph called Rich and asked him if it would be OK if he crashed at his place for a few days.
'You still have the key around the neck chain and you know you are always welcome here. Come early and we will have some time together before I have to leave for the theater. We can do lunch together.'
'I wish I could but I can't make it that early, but maybe we can have a late night snack together.' Joseph said.
'Great --- see you then.'
Joseph arrived at Rich's apartment and found that Richard had let Agent Barns in before going to the theater. He dropped off his overnight bag and the two of them went to the hotel. There they changed into waiter's uniforms and picked up the dinner cart and took it up to the President's suite. The Secret Service agents let them in. When they entered the living room they found the President waiting for them. Barns introduced Joseph.
'Come sit down and let's eat together. It's not as good as the White House food, but they tell me it is better than Kentucky Fried Chicken. Agent Barns will you be joining us?'
'Thank you Mr. President, but I think it would be better if the two of you were alone. I will wait in the outer room in case you need me.' Bill said. 'My job was to bring Sgt. Benson here for you to meet.'
'OK then. Sergeant please sit down and let's help ourselves.' He said as Bill left the room. 'I have been wanting to meet you since my predecessor first told me about you and your mission. I must say that I have reviewed your file and I could not believe what I was reading. If I had not known better, I would have thought I was reading a spy novel or science fiction. Both of which I enjoy reading. Can I admit something to you in confidence?'
'In confidence? Sir, I thought everything we will say tonight is in confidence.' Joseph laughed.
'Yes it is, but this is something, personal.'
'Sir, you are my commanding officer. What you say here remains here.' Joseph said.
'Good. We understand each other then.' The President said. 'Before I became President I must admit that I was very critical of military people. I never realized how much you servicepeople gave for the country. To this day it really amazes me and has changed my feelings about the military. Now, that said, I want to hear all about this operation of yours. Reading the file is fine but I must hear it from your lips. Start at the beginning.'
Joseph began telling him about how he fell into the situation and all about how the FBI had convinced him and the Worthingtons to work with them. The entire story took about three hours with Joseph ended by relating the events of last night's visit by the Emir.
'So Mr. President, don't be shocked when you see me sitting next to him tomorrow while you address the UN.'
'After hearing that story, I would not be shocked to see you standing up at the speakers podium giving the Emir's damn speech.' The President said as he laughed, leaned back in his chair, and pulled out two cigars and offered one to Joseph.
'Sorry, Sir, but I don't smoke.' Joseph said.
Lighting up his cigar, the President said, 'Good for you --- and don't start now. This country can survive without politicians like me but you are not so easy to replace. I have tried to quit but it is hard. My wife has been trying to get me to stop, but it is.... Anyway what is your take on this Emirate business? Is it really as dangerous as my people are trying to make me believe?'
Joseph went over it with him and told him what he thought. He was sure that by the time he was finished he had convinced him that if the Emirate ever got into power, it would make the Second World War look like a side show. 'As bad as some of your people may have tried to tell you it is - they have no concept of what it really means. They will tell you that Islam means submission to God. However, the key word is not God but submission. While most other religions do require submission of some sort - they do allow for free will. According to the Koran you must submit. If you will not submit yourself to their concept of God - you must submit to those that do. You then become second-class beings, non-Muslims, just tolerated in a Muslim society. .' Joseph said. 'This is no big hidden secrete. It is their duty and it is written in the Koran. Some will say that this is a literal translation. However those who know the language know the truth. In the lands that they took over, non-Muslims are second-class citizens. Need I remind you of what our Servicemen and women in Saudi Arabia have to put up with? A Chaplain has to remove his Crosses when they are off base and females, well enough said.'
'I know what you are saying. We are working on it. But there is little we can do until we develop an alternate fuel source.'
'I'm not here to argue with you but just think of what will happen when and if the Emirate gets hold of that Oil. When they do, you had better have some other way to make up the difference. I understand that we only import 10% of our oil from there. If we can't make it up, we become a second rate power. The Emirate and the Oil cartel will be running our country and we will have lost it all.'
'That's a bit overstating it. Isn't it Sergeant?' the President asked.
'No Sir I don't think so. I can only tell you what I have heard from the mouths of their leaders. They and the Oil Cartel will fight you anyway they can. They want us hooked on oil. They will use the money we pay them to buy up everything they can and then take over American industry. Their entry into the Stock Market is only the first step. They are now in the process of buying up and will continue to buy up the entertainment industry and the News media. They will then only permit what they want to be fed to the public. Little by little, then more and more until they can take over as they will in Spain, France, Germany and England.'
To be continued.....

Investor Sentiment: Neutral
This is the second week in a row that investor sentiment is neutral. While there is nothing unusual about this, there are two scenarios that will likely play out over the next 3 to 4 weeks. In scenario #1, the market and current intermediate term price cycle will top out when there is extreme bullish sentiment (i.e., bear signal). To attract more bulls the equity markets will need to be trading meaningfully higher. In scenario #2, the rally will likely churn along for the next four to six weeks before rolling over. In this case, dips will be bought by those late to the party; marginal new highs may be seen, but in the end, the rally will fizzle and it will be tough to make money.
The "Dumb Money" indicator is shown in figure 1, and it is in the neutral zone. The "dumb money" looks for extremes in the data from 4 different groups of investors who historically have been wrong on the market: 1) Investor Intelligence; 2) Market Vane; 3) American Association of Individual Investors; and 4) the put call ratio.
Figure 1. "Dumb Money"/ weekly
If the "Dumb Money" indicator remains neutral for 4 - 5 weeks while prices remain under their 40 week moving average, then there is a high likelihood that the market will rollover. I discussed these observations in the article, "Investor Sentiment: Some Context". Whether we roll over or push higher by the end of April is difficult to tell from this point, but I think it is very likely that lower prices should bring out the dip buyers and those still on the sidelines looking to get long because they missed their opportunity three weeks ago. In several weeks time, we will either be "selling strength" (i.e., hope) or riding the crest of a very bullish wave.
For completeness sake, I have included the "Smart Money" indicator in figure 2. The "smart money" indicator is a composite of the following data: 1) public to specialist short ratio; 2) specialist short to total short ratio; 3) SP100 option traders.

General Motors' Indian showrooms are on a constant decline. Most dealerships are citing operational reasons as a major cause for shutting down outlets. Another reason is the decline in sales of General Motors products in the country.
Previously, General Motors had over 280 showrooms across India. Over the last few months, several dealerships have shut shop and currently, only 223 showrooms are spread across the country.
General Motors has confirmed that they would not be inaugurating any new showrooms. The company's main focus will be to improve customer service and experience in existing outlets. GM will also try and find ways to make operational of current dealerships a bit more easy.
During July 2015, General Motors India made a new investment of Rs. 6,400 crore. The US base carmaker also announced that their Halol facility will halt production and their Talegaon facility will take care of domestic and export demands for General Motors.
General Motors has promised to launch ten products in India within the next 5 years. Recently, General Motors India launched their all-new Trailblazer SUV. This new model is available as a single variant and is priced at Rs. 26.40 ex-showroom (Delhi).
Currently, General Motors offers the Spark, Beat, Sail hatchback, Sail compact sedan, Enjoy, Cruze, Captiva, Tavera, and the Trailblazer. The next products to be introduced in India could be an updated Beat and an all-new compact SUV, specifically for emerging markets.

PhD, MSc, BE
Sir Henry Wellcome Postdoctoral Fellow
NEURAL coding, learning and memory
I obtained a BE in Electronics and Communication Engineering from the Delhi College of Engineering before moving to the University of Oxford, where I pursued a Master's in Neuroscience as a Clarendon scholar. I completed a PhD in Neuroscience at the Wellcome Trust Centre for Neuroimaging, University College London that was funded by a Wellcome Trust Senior Clinical Fellowship award (Cortical Bases of Auditory Perception) to Professor Tim Griffiths. My doctoral work focused on understanding the brain bases of auditory segregation as well as the timing of intervals in rhythmic sound sequences using a combination of behavioural and neuroimaging techniques including functional magnetic resonance imaging, magnetoencephalography and dynamic causal modelling.
For my postdoctoral research, I moved to the Ecole Normale Superieure in Paris and worked with Dr. Daniel Pressnitzer and Professor Shihab Shamma on a European Research Council Advanced Grant (Adaptive Auditory Mind) project examining neural correlates of rapid learning and implicit memory in the auditory cortex.
My current research is funded by a Sir Henry Wellcome Postdoctoral Fellowship and based at the Oxford Auditory Neuroscience Group led by Professor Andy King. I use a combination of electrophysiological, imaging and computational approaches to understand the neural mechanisms of auditory sequence learning and generalization.
In 2015, I was endorsed as an emerging leader in Neuroscience by the Royal Society.

Thessaloniki On a Budget
Thessaloniki is a haven for culture in Greece. There are many popular festivals throughout the year, and it's considered a party city with a young vibe. Regardless of what your travel preferences are, this city really has it all, including excellent food, plenty of history and culture, as well as an active nightlife.
The city's climate is humid subtropical. The winters are generally dry with a significant amount of fog. Temperatures may drop down to -10 degrees Celsius, and there is often wind. The summers can be hot and humid. Temperatures generally reach about 30 degrees Celsius and rain is rare. When it does rain, it is most often in the form of thunderstorms.
SightsThere are a good number of historic sights worth visiting throughout the city. Head to the northern side of the city where the Byzantine walls are still standing. You should also visit the White Tower, which dates back to the 16th century and is an important landmark for the city. There's also a great seafront promenade that is enjoyable to walk down. The entire promenade covers a length of 12 kilometers in its entirety. Make sure you head to the upper town where you can see traditional old houses, quaint cobbled streets, a Byzantine citadel, and the Eptapyrgion fort. There is also no shortage of museums and galleries throughout the city, many of which are quite impressive and informative.
NeighborhoodsThessaloniki is divided into a variety of different neighborhoods, each with its own character and atmosphere. Some of the more interesting neighborhoods include the beach promenade, which is a popular place to hang out. It's lined with cafes and bars and is a great place to enjoy a walk. It's also a popular area for nightlife. Aristotle Square is at the center of the city, close to the waterfront. It's the most famous square in the city and is surrounded by interesting architecture and restaurants. Old Town Ano Poli is to the north of the modern town. This area used to be the Turkish and Jewish Quarter. Today it's an interesting place to walk around. On the western side of the port is Ladadika. It's a popular area for nightlife and it has a variety of cafes and restaurants. Egnatia has many historic sites including the Roman Agora and the Palace of Galerius. Navarino Square is also at the center of town and is a popular place to hang out in the evening.
ActivitiesMany people head to Thessaloniki for its atmosphere. There are many cafes, clubs, and bars around town so it's worth relaxing and soaking up the city's character. The city has a good nightlife as well, so there are not shortage of activities late into the evening. Concerts are popular throughout the year. Also make sure you take a walk down the promenade. This is a great area to people watch and get a feel for the city.
Food and DiningThessaloniki cuisine makes use of a lot of spices. The food is excellent and there are a lot of local specialties that you should try. Sweets are particularly popular and favorites include Tsoureki, a plaited sweetened bread, Baklava, Bougatsa and Galaktoboureko. If you're interested in purchasing some local food specialties, head to Modiano market. Here you'll find sweetened breads, baklava, pastries and desserts. They are all quite delicious and many are freshly made.
Meat dishes include gyros and souvlaki. There are many affordable places around the city that serve these favorites for a cheap price. Other options are soutzoukakia, which is a minced meat that is grilled and served with pepper flakes, and Patsas, which is a tripe soup.
In general tavernas and restaurants are reasonably priced with good quality food. It is worth eating out while you're in town because the atmosphere, cuisine, and experience is worth the cost.

List of Conferences
High-impact journal writing and publishing
The convener
Registration fees
Total Visits : 7500
Publishing is an important business for academics. People write with various motives- altruism, career advancement, job promotion, fulfilling a minimum requirement for annual performance and so forth.
Dissemination of research findings constitutes an essential part of the scientific research process, and writing in scientific journals becomes a means of communication of research findings.
Thus, for academics, the old adage publish or perish has never been truer.
This two-day workshop deals with journal publications from the editors perspective, while describing the nuts and the bolts of journal publications.
The course covers the importance of paper writing and publishing, the structure of a scientific paper, ways in which to prepare a research paper, conceptualizing the processes of paper submission and peer-review, dealing with paper revision and rejection, and publication ethics.
The overall aims of the workshop include to assist academic staff, researchers and postgraduate students to develop scientific writing skills with the purpose of publishing papers in high-impact journals.
The workshop boosts participants self-confidence to initiate and sustain quality scientific writing in journal publication.

Dog and cat owners have kennels and catteries, but what do keepers of stranger pets do when they go on holiday?
Rats, rabbits, guinea pigs, mice and lizards all need to be fed, watered and exercised, too.
Australian Rat Fanciers Society president Julie McInnes, who owns, rescues and breeds rats, said family members were not always keen to sit for the not-so-popular rodents.
"They say: 'I'll not having a rat running around in my house'," she said. "There is never anywhere for people to take their rats.
"Unlike birds where you can leave a big bowl of water for a week, rats, rabbits and guinea pigs need daily attention."
This is why the society began a minding service which connects holidaying rat owners to its members, located all around Melbourne, she said.
This school summer holidays, the society's members are minding around 20 pet rats.
Ms McInnes said she had heard horror stories about people's rats dying when left at home.
"Rats are especially prone to heat stress; as well as rabbits and guinea pigs," she said.
However, rabbit and guinea pig owners had it a bit easier, she said, as family and friends were a bit more forgiving.
Sonia Mattei bought her "cute" but "cheeky" dwarf rabbit just a week ago.
But she is not concerned about leaving "Juve" – named after an Italian soccer team because of its black and white colouring – when she goes on holidays.
"I'll leave her with my parents. They have an active part in her little life," Miss Mattei said. "My dad adores her."

Many brands like Intex and Videocon who were engaged in making electronic equipments like Television sets, computers and computer accessories etc has now made successful entries in the Indian mobile segment. This success has only served as an inspiration for many more waiting to enter.
The latest in the list of fresh faces in the Mobile segment is Viewsonic. They have decided to launch one Android powered mobile phone and another tablet in the Indian market.
There had been reports claiming that the company was planning to launch 2 new tablets in the Indian market but this report about handsets is now making the headlines. The models to be launched are christened Viewsonic V350 and the Viewsonic Viewpad 4.
The Viewsonic V350 will be Android 2.2 powered handset and will be sporting a new 3D interface. The Viewpad 4 on the other hand will have a new Viewsonic interface that goes well with the large 4.1 inch capacitive touch screen based display. The V350 will have a smaller 3.5 inch touch screen based display. It will be the second Android powered Dual SIM phone in India after the Spice Mi270. The Viewsonic V350 offers Dual SIM standby and thus facilitates support for multiple networks at the same time.
The phones are both jam-packed with features and specs pertaining to multimedia options and connectivity solutions. The Viewsonic V350 will be equipped with a HVGA (320 x 480 pixels) capacitive full touch screen based display. It will also feature a 5 Mega Pixel camera that allows video recording in HD in addition to providing standard Smartphone facilities such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth with EDR, 3G connectivity for super fast internet services and FM radio with RDS. It also supports assisted GPS navigation.
The Viewsonic V350 is expected to be priced in and around Rs 17000. With this price tag it is expected to give a tough competition to some of the leaders in this space.
Both the Viewsonic V350 and the Viewsonic Viewpad 4 will offer around 8 customizable home screens in addition to the new 3D interface.

I'm a light sleeper and I have to have a particular physical and environmental setup or I don't sleep at all. I'm not comfortable sleeping naked because I'm paranoid some disaster is going to happen in the middle of the night and I have to run out of the house for some reason. But at the same time I have to sleep bottomless or I don't sleep at all. I cannot sleep fully clothed or with any form of day clothes on at all because it gets too hot and uncomfortable and I wake up early and unhappy. My physical requirements for sleep makes spending the night at a friends house quite a hassle. You?
Most Helpful Guy
I'm a light sleeper too. In the summer I just sleep with my boxers on and a blanket covering only the lower half of my body. In the winter I wear a short, pajama pants, and sometimes socks too. I need my room to be as dark as possible. Listening to 'space ambient' music before going to bed helps me fall asleep better.11|00|0

Hey Jay Wilson, you're the loser here, you miserable little man. You directed a disappointing game and got mad when the creator of the diablo series criticized your team's work. A man with a valid opinion, one shared by the majority of the gaming community, is called a loser by Jay Wilson and his team of minions. David Brevik was open and honest about what he thought of Diablo 3, being extremely fair considering he created the fucking franchise.
What really pisses me off is how full of themselves they are over there at Blizzard. Jay Wilson should not think for a second that Diablo 3 was successful because of him; it was successful in SPITE of him and his team. Anyone could have made Diablo 3 and it still would have sold millions because it was one of the most anticipated games ever. You could have made it a FPS combined with a train simulator and it still would have broken records. The monetary success of the game came at the expense of actual fun and the community who plays the game has been complaining since day one. When one fan flames up and criticizes Jay Wilson or the game, Blizzard puts on their kid gloves and gives the usual public relations bullshit about how they respect and listen to us, that they understand what needs to be done, but most of that are lies and apparently don't apply to someone who really understands the game and business.
When I say Diablo 3 is a shitty game, I mean a lot of things. It looks good, plays well; the story is mundane but the voice acting is top notch. Nothing about its appearance is shitty, what is shitty is the loot system, the always online DRM, and the auction houses. Those three things made the game a profit driven experience for Blizzard, rather than a fun, long lasting experience for players. Read my past blogs condemning this type of action, or defending the aesthetics.

Current Cases
Talcum Powder
Talcum powder lawsuits are being filed against the manufacturers of products containing talcum powder, claiming that these products can cause ovarian cancer when used for feminine hygiene.
The widely prescribed blood thinner Xarelto is the subject of thousands of lawsuits nationwide. Plaintiffs in these lawsuits claim that Xarelto caused serious injuries such as bleeding and stroke that led to hospitalization and, in some instances, proved to be fatal.
Studies have shown that the diabetes drug Invokana and other SGLT2 inhibitor drugs may cause serious side effects. Our Invokana attorneys are investigating lawsuits on behalf of people who took Invokana and suffered a serious side effect.
Risperdal is an antipsychotic drug that has been shown to cause gynecomastia, a rare condition where boys and men grow breasts. Janssen Pharmaceuticals has already paid billions to settle Risperdal lawsuits that alleged the drug was illegally marketed towards patient populations at a higher risk for serious side effects. Many more Risperdal lawsuits have been filed in courts around the country and are awaiting trial.
The acid refulx drug Reglan has been linked to a neurological disorder called tardive dyskinesia that causes involuntary muscle movements.

text: The Weapon Plus wiki last edited by Exile-616 on 01/27/16 03:13AM View full history OriginWeapon Plus is a government program introduced to create super-umans to fight in future wars, and eventually evolving to deal with the growing "mutant problem." Originally the only known branch of the Weapon Plus program was the Weapon X Program. Weapon X was the codename for the government group that made Wolverine into a living weapon, infusing his skeleton and claws with adamantium and honing is mutant skills to make him the ideal killer. At the time Wolverine's codename was Weapon X.It was not until much later that Fantomex revealed to the X-Men that Wolverine's program was not simply Weapon X, but Weapon 10 (the roman numeral X). The part of the program that created Wolverine was not the first attempt at perfecting a living weapon, but was instead the tenth installment of the Weapon Plus program.Generations of Weapon PlusWeapon 0Weapon 0 was a collaboration between the American, British and German eugenicists led by Josef Reinstein and Doctor Koch. When World War II began, Koch took over the German program, and Reinstein moved to the American program.Weapon IMore commonly known as Operation: Rebirth, Weapon I was headed by Abraham Erskine during the World War II. It began with the experiment that turned Steve Rogers into Captain America, but the process was lost immediately after when the scientist involved was killed by a Nazi spy. The project was then headed by Koch. In an attempt to recreate the formula, the army began testing on African American volunteers, eventually empowering Isaiah Bradley. Later attempts to recreate the serum resulted in Josiah X, Isaiah Bradley's son.Weapon IIThought to have been mainly focused on animal testing.Weapon IIIRecruited by Father during the Cold War due to his natural spying capabilities gained from his elasticated skin, a former barrister was augmented to become Weapon III. Throughout the Cold War he killed thousands of Soviets, occasionally with Fantomex. At some point, Father sent Weapon III into Otherworld to obtain the Orb of Necromancy, however, Fantomex followed him to prevent Father from receiving such power. Fantomex took the Orb and left Weapon III to the judgement of the Captain Britain Corps who trialed him and as punishment removed his skin, but was left alive to feel the pain. From this point on Weapon III became known as the Skinless Man.Weapon IV-VITesting on various ethnic minorities.Weapon VIIWeapon VII marks the beginning of Project: Homegrown. Similar to Weapon I, Weapon Plus tested on human soldiers during the Vietnam War. Currently the only know successful participant of Weapon VII is Nuke who received various cybernetic enhancements and became a covert agent for the government.Weapon VIII-IXTried to create supersuits for humans to use. Guardian was a part of this program.Weapon XThe tenth generation of Weapon Plus was responsible for experimentation on Wolverine. Because of his advanced mutant healing factor they were able to graft adamantium onto his skeleton and claws, making his bones virtually indestructible. Without his healing factor he would not have survived the process. Wolverine was also conditioned and trained to be a killer. Weapon X would split off from the Weapon Plus program, continuing to experiment to create the ultimate weapons out of mutants and retaining their name.Weapon XIUnknown.Weapon XIIHuntsman was engineered at the World, another creation of the Weapon Plus program designed as an artificial habitat to train and create super soldiers using Sentinel nanotechnology as well as artificial aging and forced evolution. Zona-Cluster 6's mind is composed of millions of viral nanomachines. He infects anything he touches, using host creatures as extensions of his own body.Weapon XIIIAnother creation of the World, Fantomex is a combination of advanced mutant evolution and sentinel nanotechnology.Weapon XIVStepford Cuckoos were created as clones of Emma Frost, and like their most recent predecessors were developed using nanotechnology. Their telepathic abilities are increased when their minds work as a single unit, and their skeletons house computer technology that can continue to function even after the rest of their bodies have been destroyed. It was originally believed that there were only five of them, but it was later revealed that 1000 were created, together being capable of telepathic feats perhaps unmatched by any single mutant.Weapon XVThe fifteenth generation of the Weapon Plus program was the Human-Sentinel hybrid Ultimaton.Weapon InfinityWeapon Infinity, also known as Operation: Deathlok, was the program instigated by Father in an alternate future to convert the superhuman population into Deathloks. These new cyborg super-soldiers became known as the Deathlok Troopers and were sent into the past to kill Fantomex, capture the World and destroy the cloned Apocalypse growing within.In Other MediaFilmThe Incredible HulkThe reference to Weapon PlusIn a brief cameo scene, it is shown that the serum used by Emil Blonsky to become the Abomination was developed for Weapon Plus by Dr. Reinstein. Tony Stark later tells General Ross that the project had been shut down due to the mental instability caused by the formula.

There are two types of people in this world — those who hide their garbage can in a cabinet beneath the sink and those who display the garbage can separately. It's the centuries-old debate of Garbage In vs. Garbage Out. We are not necessarily advocating for one lifestyle over the other. But, personally, I'd like to be able to scrape beef stroganoff vertically downward, directly into the garbage from my plate.
Now you — person who hides his garbage under the sink — tell me what you're going to do with all that saucy debris after polishing off a juicy plate of Grandma's beef stroganoff and brothy egg noodles (or perhaps rice-and-bean enchiladas, as pictured above). Believe me, I've tried the hover-the-plate-over-the-garbage-and-use-a-paper-towel-to-forcefully-smear-the-leftovers-directly-downward-into-the-garbage technique. But all it takes is one poorly-placed greasy wipe, and suddenly, there's stroganoff meat with gooey mushroom bisque all over your Windex bottle, 409 All-Purpose Cleaner, dishwasher detergent nuggets, and other under-the-sink items. (Not to mention the inevitable skidmarks down the side of the garbage can.) A viscous beef-and-mushroom onslaught, all due to some poorly placed diagonal strokes.
So just remember, when you think you're being all classy and hiding your garbage, let me tell you something, Noam – it's not any less disgusting. In fact, it's arguably more disgusting.

Gold and Silver Prices
Gold prices rose on Friday to end the week in positive territory as investors anticipate further weakness in the U.S. economy.
"Gold prices rose Friday, as investors bet a spate of U.S. data to be released next week will continue to show that the country's recovery has hit a snag… The U.S. is expected to report a raft of key economic numbers next week, including industrial production and manufacturing data. Some investors believe the reports will further bolster the argument that the economy has hit a soft patch, after a series of disappointing numbers in recent weeks led market watchers to question the strength of the country's recovery and raised doubts that the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates in the next few months." ("Gold Gains on Expectations of Weaker U.S. Economy," WSJ, 4/10/15.)
Gold finished the week --- up $5.30, closing at $1208.30. Silver prices closed the week at $16.59, down $0.17.
Gold "Big Buy:" Colvin.Todd Colvin, senior vice president of commodity traders Ambrosino Brothers, told investors to acquire gold given the uncertainty in the U.S. and global markets.
"Investors searching for a safe haven from the markets recent volatility should buy gold, Ambrosino Brothers' Senior Vice President Todd Colvin said Monday. 'I think gold is a big buy here with all you don't know about what the Fed's doing, what you don't know about what's going on in the Middle East and as a buy-and-hold instrument, I think it still has a lot of value… I'd rather be long gold and go down with this ship than be chasing it with the idea that my fiat currency isn't worth the paper that its printed on. I think gold is a good stash-and-hold. I certainly don't think it's an investment you want to retire on… I think you should put a little money away and come back to it when you need it…'" ("Investors should buy gold as safe haven: Expert," CNBC, 4/6/15.)
Turk: Dollar Drop Coming in 2015James Turk, the former head of commodities for the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority and precious metals analyst, warns the U.S. dollar is likely to see a "big drop" by the end of this year.
"James Turk, a well-known precious metals expert believes that the US dollar is going to face trouble this autumn. According to Turk, "there are a couple of reasons for this…'
"The Chinese have taken every effort over the last five years to be included in the SDR when the next rewriting comes in September and October. China may move further away from western institutions and create other Asian institutions like the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank. The autumn of 2015 will be a critically important time of the year.
"The dollar may fall substantially, if the US government makes wrong moves, James Turk believes…'Remember that the dollar has only risen because people around the world perceive it as the best option of a lot of poor choices. In other words, people are moving out of the euro, and moving out of other weak currencies, in an emotional kneejerk reaction into the dollar. They are not moving into the dollar because of any fundamental strengths. The problems of the U.S. are still quite severe, particularly the debt problem and government spending out of control. Things tend to rise and things tend to fall, and I wouldn't be surprised to get a big drop in the dollar before the end of the year,' James Turk said." ("'The dollar will fall substantially' – James Turk, precious metals expert," Pravda.ru, 4/9/15.)
Next Financial Crisis Looming: Dimon, StockmanJP Morgan Chase's CEO, Jamie Dimon, and President Reagan's former budget director, David Stockman, foresee another, more volatile, financial crisis.
"While financial conditions have improved vastly since the 2008 credit meltdown, another financial crisis will eventually arise, says JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon… 'Triggering events could be geopolitical, a recession where the Fed rapidly increases interest rates, a commodities price collapse, a commercial real estate crisis, bubbles, etc.'
And what about the impact on financial markets? "The markets in general could be more volatile… It will be harder for banks either as lenders or market-makers to "stand against the tide."'
"David Stockman, White House budget director under President Reagan, sees a crisis looming close on the horizon. 'The worldwide central bank money printing spree of the last two decades has generated massive excess capacity and mal-investment all around the planet… What is coming, therefore, is not their father's inflationary spiral, but an unprecedented and epochal global deflation…'
"'So the central banks just keep printing, thereby inflating the asset bubbles worldwide. What ultimately stops today's new style central bank credit cycle, therefore, is bursting financial bubbles… That has already happened twice this century. A third proof of the case looks to be just around the corner.'" ("Dimon: 'There Will Be Another Crisis'," Newsmax, 4/10/15.)
New Asia Infrastructure Investment Bank May Dethrone Dollar as World CurrencyThe Chinese-backed alternative to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank may threaten the U.S. dollar's role as the world's reserve currency as well as America's influence in international finance.
"China's big foray into global finance is causing nervousness on Wall Street while helping to exemplify how dysfunctional Washington has become. The Asia Infrastructure Investment Bank is positioning itself as an Asia-centric alternative to the World Bank and International Monetary Fund…
"[C]ritics worry that ultimately the institution will help China knock the U.S. off its pedestal as the world's pre-eminent economic and military superpower, give the dollar competition as the global reserve currency and to change a fundamental dynamic by filling a funding void.
"'The result of its actions both internally and externally has been the creation of an entity that can compete with the IMF and World Bank internationally; an entity controlled by a country that is seeking to reduce the United States hold on the world financial markets," [banking analyst Dick Bove] said in a report for clients. "The creation of the AIIB also demonstrates clearly that not only are the U.S. enemies but also its biggest allies fed up with the United States demands and tactics in the financial world. This is incredibly dangerous to this country's standing internationally in an area where it counts—finance and the dollar.'" ("Asia Infrastructure Investment Bank gambit has US on edge," CNBC, 4/7/15.)

ODIN Completes 500th RFID Project(April 06, 2011)
Ashburn,VA (PRWEB) April 06, 2011
ODIN, the leading global provider of RFID software and RFID solutions today announced the successful completion of their 500th RFID project. The project was an IT Asset Tracking solution for one of the worlds largest financial institutions based on ODINs Intelligent Asset Management (I AMTM) RFID software. I AMTM is the only RFID-based Asset Tracking solution designed to ensure 99%+ read accuracy, while scaling to thousands of RFID read points and ensuring easy integration into existing systems of record such as Maximo, Oracle, AssetCenter and other ITAM programs. ODINs RFID software is specifically designed for Asset Tracking, Healthcare and Social Media, and has been built on ODINs foundation of solid physics, which ensures high reliability and accuracy.
Our 500th major RFID project is another milestone that sets ODIN apart in the RFID industry. Most of our clients are Fortune 100 companies who need unparalleled expertise, scalable and proven software and worldwide support. commented Patrick J. Sweeney, ODINs founder. With the acquisition of Reva in December 2010 and expansion into more European countries, we have more than $50 million invested in our RFID software and solutions to make them work better and more accurately than any other RFID software in the world.
The proof isnt in what we say it is in what our clients say with their repeat business. Four out of the top five medical device companies use ODINs software, the leading medical institutions in the world use ODINs software, and three out of the top four global banks are now using ODIN RFID solutions. That says it all. commented Grant Wagner, ODINs worldwide leader of sales.
ODIN develops RFID solutions in three primary areas:
- Healthcare RFID including RFID specimen tracking for labs, medical loaner kit tracking, RFID-enabled medical cabinets and other areas of innovation soon to be announced.
- I T Asset Tracking ODINs Intelligent Asset Management (I AMTM) is the only RFID-based asset tracking software designed from the RFID readers up to ensure high accuracy, scalability to thousands of RFID read points and simple integration to existing systems of record.
- RFID based Social Media ODINs Facebook-ready RFID systems are specifically designed for marketing, events and entertainment/sports venues. ODIN has dedicated a team of software developers from its Boston office to working side-by-side with the Facebook team to ensure that the very first Facebook-ready RFID software is simple to use while driving tangible value for marketing by adding a much deeper level of segmentation to the Facebook platform.
- EasyEdge - the worlds only RFID Operating System which sits on the RFID reader and provides intelligence on the device, much like the iPhone brought intelligence to mobile phones. With EasyEdge many RFID deployments can be stood up without the use of RFID middleware.
- EasyTAP - the tag acquisition processor (TAP) based on technology acquired through the acquisition of Reva is an appliance or VM-based software solution that provides a highly sophisticated RFID location and correlation engine. The EasyTAP has nearly a dozen patents protecting its proprietary algorithms and allows integration partners to easily install and manage hundreds of read points.
- EasyMonitor- the hosted monitoring and management solution for RFID devices. EasyMonitor enables remote monitoring and management and is deployed at hundreds of locations around the globe. From a central network operations center a single person can monitor and manage the health and state of thousands of readers.
ODIN was founded in 2002 by a serial technology entrepreneur who hired the Director of MITs Auto-ID center, the inventor of the electronic product code (EPC) RFID protocol in use today and adopted as the ISO standard (ISO 18000-6c). ODINs early work focused on the physics of what made RFID work accurately and consistently. ODIN replicated the MIT lab in 2003 and began expanding its capabilities. In 2004 ODIN released the first public RFID Benchmark the head-to-head comparison of RFID hardware. Since 2004 ODIN has completed more than 30 RFID Benchmarks. Having the worlds leading RF Engineers in the ODIN lab working day in and day out with ODIN in-house development team allows ODIN to produce software based on the very deep inner workings of RFID devices.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Shares of Rackspace Hosting (RAX) plummeted 16.09% to $33.01 in after-hours trading Tuesday after the company announced it had ended its formal evaluation of strategic alternatives that would lead to another company acquiring Rackspace.
The managed cloud computing company "declared its commitment to remain independent" via a press release after the market closed. Rackspace also announced president Taylor Rhodes as CEO "to lead and drive its managed cloud strategy."
Rackspace disclosed in a regulatory filing on May 15 that several parties approached the company about partnership or acquisition possibilities.

"We ran a thorough process under the direction of our board of directors, independent advisors, and a Strategic Transaction Committee of the Board," said Graham Weston, Rackspace co-founder and chairman. "In this process we talked to a diverse group of interested parties and entertained different proposals.
"None of these proposals were deemed to have as much value as the expected value of our standalone plan. We concluded that the company is best positioned to drive value for shareholders, customers and Rackers through the continued execution of its strategic plan to capitalize on the growing market opportunity for managed cloud services."
"The board also considered a share repurchase program and determined that, based on the company's significant opportunities, it is prudent to maintain flexibility at this time to ensure that the appropriate investments can be made to drive our strategy forward. We will continue to evaluate the benefits of implementing a buyback program in the future."

CBS has cancelled new comedy Friends with Better Lives. The mid-season series premiered in late March and is only five episodes into its run. Ratings for the show have been average thus far but clearly not at levels the network would like to see in its time slot.
The series marks star James Van Der Beek's second failed venture into television comedy in recent years. His last series, Don't Trust The B---- In Apartment 23, fared better but was cancelled midway through its second season.
