This chapter describes the deployment models for Cisco Unified Intelligence Center. Each model addresses scalability of the solution. The exact model that must be employed at different sites depends upon on the number of clients to be supported and, to a lesser extent, on the amount of data being reported.
For more information about sizing calculations, see Chapter 4.
This chapter contains the following topics:
Unified Intelligence Center 9.0 supports the deployment model of one to eight servers clustered together with an optional ACE load balancer for deployments consisting of two or more nodes.
The deployment models supported by Unified Intelligence Center are
The differences between the two deployment models are the number of servers and the use of the ACE load balancer.
The standard model includes the following components:
This deployment model consists of a Unified Intelligence Center cluster that communicates directly with the database running on the data source server. Data for all reports—both realtime and historical—are fetched when required, based on report requests issued by web clients.
Data flow:
The deployment model with ACE includes the following components:
In this model, the multiple Unified Intelligence Center reporting nodes are deployed across an ACE load balancer module. This allows clients to use the same URL to access the application. The ACE module performs Load Balancing by distributing user sessions among multiple member nodes in the Unified Intelligence Center cluster that are available at the beginning of the session. The nodes are synchronized through database replication.
If a single data source server is insufficient to serve all the reporting data requests from multiple clients, multiple data source servers can be used to spread the report load. The server load factor numbers (present in the bandwidth and sizing section) determine the number of data source servers, depending on the number of simultaneous real clients running the Unified Intelligence Center reports.
Firefox is the preferred client for administrators in scaled deployments with ACE due to the large amount of data that is displayed, which render faster on the Firefox browser.
Data flow:
Cisco Unified Contact Center Enterprise (Unified CCE) is an integral component of the Cisco Unified Communications system and delivers a comprehensive solution that provides intelligent routing and logging functionality and call treatment. Unified CCE uses a synchronized, lock and step message-based routing functionality to keep configuration and reporting data up to date. This data is maintained in databases in the Administration and Data Server, formerly called the Distributor Admin Workstation (AW).
The Administration and Data Server holds the database used as the Unified Intelligence Center data source for Unified Intelligence Center stock reports. Unified CCE can support multiple Administration and Data Servers.
Unified CCE introduced a new set of options based on deployment size:
These selections are documented in the Cisco Unified Contact Center Enterprise Solution Reference Network Design (SRND).
Unified Intelligence Center uses AW/HDS as a data source for standard historical reports and AW/HDS or AW as a data source for standard real-time reports. For more information about the use of DDS for custom reporting, see the recommendations for call detail reporting in the Reporting Guide for Cisco Unified ICM/Contact Center Enterprise & Hosted, Release 8.5(3).
In all cases, the database on the Administration and Data Server and the views inside it are used as the tables for the data source queries run from Unified Intelligence Center. This makes it unnecessary to maintain additional database network connections to multiple databases from the Unified Intelligence Center, and all the data pertaining to Unified CCE can be referenced by single data source.
The Unified Intelligence Center installation adds two data sources to the reporting (member) nodes:
Configure the Contact Center Enterprise data sources, labeled Unified CCE Historical and Unified CCE Real time in Intelligence Center's data sources tab, to use the Contact Center Enterprise stock reports.
These data sources can be the same AW/HDS server or you can configure them to use two different servers. The Cisco Unified Contact Center Enterprise Solution Reference Network Design(SRND) provides detailed information about database deployment models using AW, HDS and DDS and should be consulted for sizing guidance. To be used as the Unified CCE Realtime or Unified CCE Historical data source in Unified Intelligence Center, the system must include both AW and HDS. To develop custom reports on TCD records, the data source must also include the DDS.
The Unified Intelligence Center deployment with Unified CCE utilizes the AW-HDS as its data source server. It is possible to connect to multiple AW-HDS databases to handle the load from multiple Unified Intelligence Center reporting nodes. Other data sources such as the CVP Reporting Server can be used along with the Unified CCE AW-HDS as data source servers. The ACE load balancer, an optional component, provides load balancing for report queries across the multiple reporting nodes and servers as a single point of access to the cluster.
Unified CCE deployments with a distributed AW-HDS can be used a data source for Unified Intelligence Center reports. However local area network AW-HDS access ensures better throughput in data extracted and ensures faster response times for reports, especially realtime reports with repeated refresh intervals.
The exact response times and latencies are available in the Bandwidth and performance recommendations section of this document.
Unified Intelligence Center can be deployed as the reporting solution with Unified CCE deployments that scale over WAN networks. In these deployments, Unified Intelligence Center is deployed locally with one section / data center of the scaled Unified CCE deployment and can access the local AW-HDS over the Local Area Network (LAN) as well as the remote AW-HDS which is deployed along with the remote section of the Unified CCE over the Wide Area Network (WAN).
Other data sources such as Unified CVP can be deployed along with Unified CCE. Firewall considerations when deploying over WAN are applicable to the data source servers and appropriate ports as described in the Firewall Integration notes should be opened, depending on the remote database configuration.
Cisco Unified Customer Voice Portal is a VoiceXML-based solution that provides Interactive Voice Response (IVR) and IP switching functionality on Voice over IP (VoIP) networks. It can be deployed in a standalone mode or integrated as part of Unified Contact Center Enterprise (Unified CCE) solution.
The Unified CVP Reporting Server component of Unified CVP is used as the data source in a Unified Intelligence Center deployment that imports reports for the Unified CVP platform.
The Unified CVP Reporting component provides the basic reporting capabilities in a Unified CVP environment. This reporting server is a Windows 2008 server that hosts an IBM Informix Dynamic Server (IDS) database management system. It contains a published schema, which customers can use to create custom reports.
The Unified CVP Reporting Server receives reporting data from the IVR Service, the SIP Service (if used), and the Unified CVP VXML Servers. The Reporting Server depends on the Call Server to receive call records.
For standalone Unified CVP VXML Server deployments, one Call Server is needed per Reporting Server. The Reporting Server must also be local to the Call Server(s) and Unified CVP VXML Server(s) that it is servicing. Deploying the Reporting Server at a remote location across the WAN is not supported by Unified CVP.
The Unified CVP deployment model shown in the diagram below is a not a strict requirement for Unified IC. Unified IC is independent of the components connected to the data source server it uses to fetch its data. Therefore the exact Unified CVP deployment can vary depending on the customer installation and on the required number of Reporting Servers available for the Unified IC reporting nodes to connect to.

Schumer celebrates success at student loan service center
PERRY – Sen. Charles E. Schumer, D-N.Y., visited a student loan service center here Monday to celebrate his successful effort to save 315 jobs at the facility and an additional 535 in Arcade and Horseheads.
Schumer blocked a measure in the student loan rate bill that would have eliminated the three Sallie Mae-owned Pioneer Credit Recovery operations. They were slated to be cut to offset the money that would have been lost if student loan rates did not double.
"This is cause for celebration," Schumer said, "and I have been loud and clear with my Senate colleagues that I will oppose using this offset in any piece of future legislation."
Schumer noted that the financial offsets also came up in the U.S. Education Department's fiscal year 2013 and 2014 budget plans to cover cost increases in Pell grants and that they may be proposed again. During the debate on the bill, Schumer pointed out that the student loan recovery operations are paid only when they get borrowers to make their payments.

Nevada Rancher Sues Federal Government for $30 Million in Takings Suit
GOLDFIELD, NV—Ben and Juanita Colvin, after years of government harassment and interference with their ranching operation, the confiscation of 62 head of their cattle at gunpoint, and the resulting shutting down of their ranching operation, recently sued the federal government for $30 million compensation under the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution. The Complaint, filed August 16 in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims in Washington, D.C., alleges in part that the Federal government transferred the Colvin's water and forage rights to the Bureau of Land Management and third parties; allowed 1,300 head of wild horses to trespass on Colvin's grazing allotment; and threatened Mr. Colvin's family and employees to prevent them from using their vested water rights and forage rights.
"The United States terminated Colvin's lease and preference grazing rights without justification, thus attempting to prevent him from accessing his water rights, forage rights and other range rights," commented Mr. Colvin's attorney, Mike Van Zandt, from his San Francisco office.
Colvin commented from his home in Goldfield, Nevada, "My life's work is tied up in this ranch. The federal government has been trying to wipe me out financially and now has left me with no choice but to seek damages. They have the power to confiscate my property under the Constitution, but that same Constitution guarantees me compensation for that property."
Colvin is following the litigation strategy set forth in the similar and successful case of his neighbor, Wayne Hage. Hage filed suit in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims in 1991 after years of attempts by the U.S. Forest Service and BLM to reclassify his rangelands as "public lands" and convert it to other uses. In the January 29, 2002 Final Decision and Finding of Fact, the Court ruled that Hage had "title to the fee lands", an area of land identified as his grazing allotment. The Court will determine the compensation owed Hage for the government taking of his property in a trial set for May 2004. "The Hage decision is important to hundreds of western ranchers who have been subjected to years government harassment and interference with their ranching operations. Nothing has changed for many ranchers under the Bush Administration. Clinton bureaucrats are still largely in control. But we now have a victory in Hage that provides other ranchers with a road-map showing them how to keep the government honest when they take our property," said Wayne Hage from his ranch in Monitor Valley, Nevada.
Retired Congressman, Helen Chenoweth-Hage said, "Unfortunately Ben Colvin's case is not unique. We have been speaking to ranchers all over the West. They always tell me the same story—the government is taking the ability to use their property. The only thing that changes is the name of the environmental red herring. Sadly there are many ranchers who will have no choice but to seek compensation under the Fifth Amendment."
The government argues Ben Colvin and other ranchers are grazing livestock by virtue of a grazing permit on "public land" and therefore the U.S. F. S. and BLM can manage the land for their own purposes regardless of the impact on the rancher's business. However, the Supreme Court ruled in Bardon v. Northern Pacific Railroad that, "It is well settled that all land to which any claims or rights of others have attached does not fall within the designation of public land." Grazing allotments by definition have rights and claims of others attached including vested water rights, forage rights and rights-of-ways, all of which predate the creation U.S. F. S. and BLM. Mr. Colvin will provide evidence to the Court through his chain-of-title that he owns the vested water rights, forage rights and rights-of-ways on his rangeland and that he is not grazing on the government's "public land".

England 36-11 Italy, Six Nations Championship ,February 7
Bergamasco experiment gifts victory to England
Graham Jenkins
February 7, 2009
Bergamasco's career at scrum-half is unlikely to be resurected © Getty Images
England got their Six Nations campaign off to a winning start thanks to what proved to be a crazy decision by Italy coach Nick Mallett to select Mauro Bergamasco at scrum-half.
The bold ploy of playing Bergamasco, a world-class flanker, at the crucial decision-making position of No.9 back-fired badly and the contest was all but over by the time his services were withdrawn at half-time. The decision to gamble was prompted by a string of injuries with Mallett claiming he had little option but it proved a costly mistake within minutes of the kick off.
The nightmare of wild passes and aimless running lasted for 40 minutes before Bergamasco's brief career at scrum-half was brought to a predictable end. Mallett put his hands up after the game to accept all blame but he will be hoping that Bergamasco's painful cameo does not have a detrimental effect on his usual impressive game.
England took control of the contest as Italy gifted countless opportunities and some how the hosts managed to register five tries on their way to a 36-11 victory. England fans will be happy to get back to winning ways but it is worth them remembering the victory was the result of a generous Italian display littered with errors and not a clinical performance from Martin Johnson's side.
Italy were disappointing to say the least and as a result the contest failed to live up to the billing and fans who stumped up can rightly feel cheated of a worthy contest. Credit to Italy for rallying in the second half but the damage was done. England were never tested to any kind of great measure and were able to coast to victory. But they will learn little from this game that will stand them in good stead for the rest of the Championship.
Johnson will be frustrated for several reasons with his side's lack of composure the main concern and their penalty tally another. This England side was not favoured to challenge for honours on the eve of this year's Championship and following their latest performance those predictions appear spot on.
James Haskell's foolish trip and the dangerous tackle by Shane Geraghty reduced the side to fourteen players on two separate occasions and not only underlined doubts about discipline but also put a stop to any grand tactical plan the side may have had. Six yellow cards in the last two fixtures is a worrying fact and on this occasion they were lucky not to be punished - not every side will be as forgiving as the Italians.
But there are positives to reflect on including the endeavour and skill shown by scrum-half Harry Ellis. He took his chance following Danny Care's injury and once again displayed his class. Alive to opportunities and keen to impress he did enough to insure the No.9 shirt will be his for the testing trip to Cardiff next weekend.
Andy Goode also did enough to justify his return from the international wilderness and played like a man full of confidence in his ability but his game did drop in the latter stages along with that of some of his team mates. Some similar wayward tactical kicking against Wales next weekend will come at a greater cost and he will have to make sure his radar is in fully working order if he is to hold off the challenge for his position from a fit-again Toby Flood and Danny Cipriani.
Many of England's side had a quiet day with wing Paul Sackey, so often England's most potent weapon, absent from the game - as was fullback Delon Armitage who looked disinterested at time but produced a couple of impressive breaks. The story was the same up front with England's forwards failing to boss the game.
Maybe the assessment of England's performance is a little harsh and perhaps the bar is set too high? A substantial win is a good way to start the Championship but everyone knows such a showing will not be good enough against an on-form Wales next weekend.
Johnson acknowledged his side's shortcomings after the game but time is not on their side. Wales pose a formidable threat and are likely to be favourites no matter what the result against the Scots on Sunday.
Elsewhere, Italy will have to re-group and restore some pride before they play host to Ireland next weekend when you can rest assured that Bergamasco will pack down at his more familiar position of flanker.

Edged Weapon Tactics/ Counter Tactics
Edged weapons are amongst the most ancient of implements used by human adversaries engaged in interpersonal conflict. Their use tends to culminate in the premature extinction of one and sometimes both parties. Unfortunately the potential lethality of the blade is not always realized or taken into account when confronting a knife-wielding attacker. There is a commonly held view that a person armed with a knife is less dangerous than a person armed with a firearm. The truth is that within their practical ranges both weapons are capable of fatal life stopping wounds. Some interesting facts include:
U.K. studies:
· Edged weapon assaults are the most commonly used weapon for killing people (7 in 20)
· In half the incidents of muggings on men the offender is armed with a sharp instrument
North America:
· One in three chance that if faced with a subject sho had an edged weapon, you will be attacked and injured
· Attacks with edged weapons usually occur when you least expect them
· In Victoria BC Canada, our police department has found an increase of 35% in the number of calls that they deal with where an edged weapon was involved
· In 1994, out of the 7 murders in Victoria, 6 were committed with knives
· The majority of "street" type people carry some kind of edged weapon be it legal or illegal.
FBI Statistics:
· Edged weapon attackers are responsible for 3% of all armed attacks of police
· Firearm attacks account for 4%
· Both of the above stats represent fatalities
· Subject shot, 10% die from their wounds
· Subjects stabbed, 30% die from their wounds
Calibre Press:
· Since 1980 the number of people routinely carrying knives in North America has increased by 92%
I have personally gathered research form around the world on edged weapon assaults and the following facts emerged during my research:
· The most popular assault technique utilized by the attacker was found to be the hammer strike – either straight down or diagonally
· The victim tends to squat in an effort to take a path which offers perceived escape
· Many people seldom saw the edged weapon that penetrated their body. They failed to recognize the danger cues due to faulty perception
· Knife attacks were found to be exceptionally accurate, to penetrate deeper that some bullets, creating remarkable permanent cavities and rip through numerous organs in one stroke
· In reality, within their respective ranges, knives are superior to firearms as far as lethality is concerned
Within its range, a Knife:
· Never runs out of ammunition
· Never jams
· Never misfires
· Rarely misses target
· Cuts bone, tendon, muscles, arteries, veins with one thrust
· Can bring about sudden shock, pain, and extended wound channels
· It has better stopping capabilities
· Is psychological defeating
· Has superior concealment capabilities
· It occupies a permanent wound channel until extracted, at which time, if the blade is withdrawn from a lung, consciousness is rapidly lost
I have also attended several autopsies involving edged weapon deaths and in speaking with Forensic Pathologists have found the following medical facts:
· Typical death of a stab wound in homicide cases is 1 inch to 1.5 inches through the rib cage
· In most edged weapon attacks the victim received multiple knife wounds. The usual cause of death are usually the last few wounds of the overall attack
· Even short bladed knives can penetrate the abdomen by 8-10cm
· 3cm allows penetration of the ribs
· 4cm allows penetration of the heart
· because of the small surface area of a knife, the amount of force per unit area is TONS per square inch
The above noted information shows the importance of training to deal with such encounters. A person's ability to deal with such situations will be based on his/her TRAINING AND EXPERIENCE. Experience is something not easily acquired, proper training can save lives by preparing you both physically and psychologically. Remember that most edged weapon assaults take place unexpectedly and so quickly that it is not unusual for the defender not to have time to realize that an edged weapon is involved. The attacker who possess an edged weapon usually does not want to convey in any way that he has one, and will usually conceal it until such time as he can deploy it quickly against you. Although a reality, it is a rarity that the attacker will produce his weapon in full view prior to an assault.
As I continued to conduct me research into edged weapon assaults on both police officers and the general public I was also able to identify three common denominators that seem to be present in many edged weapon assaults:
· In most edged weapon attacks, the defender is already involved in the physical encounter way before he or she even has time to realize that a knife is being used
· Most defenders see a thrust or slice with a knife as just another punch or kick and not an edged weapon assault
· It was difficult if not impossible for the defender to differentiate between an attack with an edged weapon or an attack using hands of feet. This was especially true when the defender was not aware from the start of the assault , that the attacker had a knife
I'm a big believer in, "don't tell me, show me" so in early 1992 I conducted an empirical video research study. I had 85 police officers participate in a scenario based training session where unknown to them, they would be attacked with a knife. The attacker, who was dressed in a combatives suit, was told that during mid way of the contact, they were to pull a knife that they had been concealing, flash it directly at the officer saying "I'm going to kill you pig" and then engage the officer physically. The results were remarkable:
· 3/85 saw the knife prior to contact
· 10/85 realized that they were being stabbed repeatedly during the scenario
· 72/85 did not realize that they were being assaulted with a knife until the scenario was over, and the officers were advised to look at their uniforms to see the simulated thrusts and slices left behind by the chalked training knives
When I reviewed the hours of video tape of the above noted scenarios, I also made several other interesting observations in how the majority of officers reacted to the attacks:
· most attempted to disengage from the attacker by backing away from the threat. This usually resulted in the attacker closing quite quickly with their victim
· Those officers that did engage the threat immediately, proceeded to block the initial strike of the attacker and then immediately began to grapple with the attacker using elbows and knee strikes, but FAILED TO CONTROL THE DELIVERY SYSTEM REUSLTING IN A LARGE NUMBER OF LETHAL BLOWS WITH THE KNIFE.
· Most of the scenarios ended up on the ground

Edged Weapons Part II
After making these observations, I began to ask myself why I was seeing the above noted reactions. In my research I had the opportunity to read an article authored by Bruce Siddle and Dr. Hal Breedlove entitled " Survival Stress Reaction" . In this article Siddle and Breedlove sated:
" research by numerous studies provide two clear messages why people will place themselves in bad tactical situations. The common phenomena of backing away under survival stress results from the visual systems deterioration of the peripheral field to attain more information regarding threat stimulus. Since the brain is demanding more information to deal with the threat, he officer will invariably retreat from the threat to widen the peripheral field. Secondly, the brains normal ability to process (analyze and evaluate) a wide range of information quickly is focused to specific items. Therefore, additional cues, which would normally be processed, are lost. This explains why people can not remember seeing or identifying specific facts which were relatively close to the threat."
The above noted research by Siddle and Breedlove not only confirmed my findings but also answered why our officers were acting they were. It also explains why one officer, who had actually caught the attackers knife hand with both of his hands and was looking directly at the knife, stated "I didn't see any knife" It was not until I showed the video that he believed there was a knife.
Based upon all the above noted observations, I began to research a number of edged weapon defensive tactics programs that were being offered to both police officers and citizen. I attended several programs across North America and in doing so, I found that many of the programs although practical in a training environment, were totally unrealistic for the reality of the street. Many of these programs had several pitfalls:
· Most assumed the defender knew that the attacker possessed an edged weapon. ( what good is this assumption when we know that the majority of attacks with knives the defender did not know the attacker had a knife)
· Most techniques being taught were to complicated for people to remember ( to many fine complex motor skills which we know do not translate when survival stress clicks in no matter how well trained)
· Most techniques neglected the not so frozen limbs which the attacker still possessed and would use if not neutralized.
· Most techniques being taught concentrated on controlling the knife hand rather than the delivery system. ( the hand moves faster than the eye in a spontaneous attack. As well if cut, blood is a very good lubricant and makes grabbing the knife hand, even with two hands, very difficult if not impossible. To replicate this, use some baby oil during your next edged weapon defensive tactics class)
· Most techniques being taught were designed to be used against a static (stemming) attack.. (Real knife assaults are not static but fluid and dynamic in nature)
· Most techniques were designed to be used against what I call wide "Hollywood" motion attacks. ( most knife assaults are short and multiple in nature)
· Most techniques were designed to be used under perfect conditions of the dojo or training studio. ( most would not work if fighting/rolling around in the mud, the blood, and the beer of an "open" rather than "closed" environment
When looking for a Realistic Edged Weapon Tactics/ Counter tactics Program you should ensure that you pick one that teaches:\
2) REALISTIC HANDS ON COUNTER TACTICS WHICH FOLLOW THE S.A.F.E. PRINCIPAL. Simple Adaptable Fast and Effective
Awareness strategies start with the above noted information on stats and facts.
There are two types of attackers that you will have to deal with, Skilled and unskilled. Although it is a nicety to know the difference between the two types of attacker, it is very important to remember that both are as equally as dangerous. Remember it is not the skill level of the attacker but rather the desperation factor that makes him so dangerous. As well, in a dynamic spontaneous assault involving an edged weapon, you will probably not have the time to assess your attackers skill level. This is why it is so important that any counter edged weapon program you use, it must work against both the unskilled and skilled attacker. I say:
The best defense against an edged weapon is to not get into one in the first place. Watch for edged weapons, this means watching a person's hands. I have stated for years that the only assumption I make in a fight is that the person I an dealing with may have a concealed weapon that I don't see.
By being aware of the ways in which a person may deploy an edged weapon may give you the advantage to with the encounter. This means, get to know the technology available. Visit you local knife/ army surplus stores and see what is available. Also look into how this technology is deployed:
· Listen for the unsnapping of a button on a knife case
· Listen for Velcro opening
· Listen for the click of a lock blade
· Movement behind the back
· Drawing motion of the arm/elbow
· The way in which a person may be packing a visible knife. A buck knife case that is holstered with the snap opening down lets you know that this person had thought about using gravity to deploy the knife quickly.
· Palming
In my program I have over 50 slides of actual knife wounds that I also show to further bring to light the issue of awareness and respect for the blade.
There are as many gripes and strokes as there are people carrying knives. Is it important to know and understand how an attacker may be holding an edged weapon when it comes to defense. NO !!!!! I believe that the only important thing for you to understand is that the attacker is attacking with a knife. Again, in a dynamic and spontaneous knife attack you will likely not know how the weapon is being held. So if you have learned a system of edged weapon defense that is dependant upon how the knife is being held, good luck using it in the real word !!!!!
· Do not panic
· Consciously make yourself breath slower (autogenic breathing)
· Inspect yourself and look for injuries seen and more importantly not seen
· Apply direct pressure to wounds
· If injury are to limbs, elevate if possible
· If you have a chest wound, seal it and protect your airway in case you go unconscious, you don't want to drown in your own blood
· If you have a punctured lung, exhale first and use an air tight article to cover and seal the wound
· Mental commitment " I'm going to Live"
1) Respect the blade The person who attacks with an edged weapon has two incredible advantages.
· PSYCHOLOGICAL: has chosen to use the weapon ruthlessly
· PHYSICAL: usually has first strike advantage
Again remember, it is the desperation factor and not the technical skill alone that makes a person armed with an edged weapon so dangerous
2) Expect to get cut. You will likely get cut, bleed, may or may not feel pain. A program that teaches students not to expect this fact is NEGLIGENT. Your goal is to "WIN" notice I use the word "WIN" and not "SURVIVE". Words are very powerful. The word SURVIVE is no different than the word "TRY". Both of these words to the subconscious mind mean "FAILURE". Our goal is to WIN, survival is a by-product of winning.
3) Neutralize the line of attack. In any kind of combatives it is important to get you body of the line of attack.. Remember in a knife fight you will get cut and stuck, the secret is to limit the amount/degree of this damage. Unlike a fist fight, you can not stand there and take multiple blows with a knife
4) Control the delivery system. In the system of Pat Wrap and Attack we do not play the knife hand but rather the delivery system ( arm/elbow) In hockey do you play the puck or do you play the man. You play the man why, the puck moves to quick. In a knife fight don't visually lock onto the knife hand it moves far to fast when compared to the arm/elbow. We also do not attempt to grab the knife hand in a dynamic situation for the reasons that I mentioned earlier. Small target, slippery when blood is present Remember than most edged weapon deaths are associated with serious multiple blows. Why, person failed to control the delivery system. The delivery system is the arm (lever), if we can control the lever we control the blade. The only exception to this rule is in a static knife hold up where the knife hand is not moving and can easily be controlled with two hands.
5) Attack the attack.. I believe that so long as the attacker has the opportunity to continue his attack, he has a strong tactical advantage, with a strong psychological advantage as well. Both of these advantages must be neutralized as soon as possible by throwing the attacker on the defensive.
I have been involved in FOUR separate edged weapon attacks which I "won", and I have had one person die in my arms from an edged weapon attack.. There are a lot of edged weapon defense programs out there that are designed to get you KILLED because they do not deal with reality. Do your homework. I have attempted to summarize some of the reasons for the development of my 8 hr Pat. Wrap, and Attack system in this post. This system is being used around the world and has saved many lives. Knowledge and the understanding of that knowledge is power.

Absolutely outstanding work, Darren!
You've quickly gone to the top of my list of "must read" posters!
If a knife wielder gets within effective range, all the grief and situational complexity you so eloquently address applies. My approach would then have already failed, and that is to forbid anybody getting that close, which, of course, is patently impossible since crowded conditions are a fact of life.
What these posts have done for me is to redouble the efforts at controlling any approaching "suspicious character" before the knife effective range is attained. If he doesn't stop after verbal commands, then Red alert. If the immediate presentment of a firearm and tactical repositioning doesn't stop him, then he's attacking and I'm "in fear for my life." It'll be too bad for me if he's merely an unarmed panhandler with a hearing problem, blind, and stupid, but I'll at least get a chance to tell my side of the encounter....

Very intriguing posts. Thanks for sharing. A few things pop out at me, but its late and I want to cogitate on them a bit more first. Enjoyed reading it all though.
BTW, if you're interested to see just how much damage a quality knife can do to a person, buy a slab of beef and go to town. Its rather amazing. If you really want to see something interesting buy a side of ribs and see what a good knife will do. It damn sure makes me wanna handle a "knife on knife" situation with a .45 or shoe leather!
Doing what you've done, gets you what you've got.

Outstanding post Darren.
As for basic tactics, I go with the old Japanese proverb "Slash to the hard and thrust to the soft!"
"I swear to defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemeis domestic or foreign WHOMSOEVER."

Thanks again for the outstanding posts.
As a freshman in college, I was shocked to learn from some of my roommate's friends (who grew up in and around NYC) that they knew how to defend against a knife attack by wrapping an article of clothing around their arm and using it to ward off blows (nice if you've got the time to prepare, I guess).
When I took a one day knife defense class at the S&W Academy I wondered why the instructor was wearing a sweatshirt indoors in a heated building. During a tehchnique display I saw him reaching under his sweatshirt and I had a split-second to think "Now what...?" before he "pointed" me on the breastbone with a dulled neck knife trainer.
You reiterate what we were told: expect to get cut, neutralize the line of attack, trap or block the attacker's knife arm/hand.
Funny thing, I had a dream last night I was defending my mother and her best friend from an assault. I was armed only with my Benchmade AFCK. In the dream I resorted to making the same kind of temple stabs we practiced with plywood trainers. I hope more of that class is embedded in my subconscious.
Keep up the good work! Your posts are always worth printing and studying.

1. Mold spores are microscopic
They may be tough to see, but they can cause serious agitation.
2. Your pets are sharing more than cuddles and wet kisses
3. Spring and fall always come in like a lion.
o New seasons often bring their own set of airborne allergens.
4. You can't keep up with the dust.
o An air purifier will help capture the common sources of dust pollutants including pet dander, dirt, insect waste, and dead human skin before they settled to surfaces like your coffee table and television set.
5. Things in your house stink.
o From yoga pants to diaper pails, day-old socks to garbage disposal leftovers, inevitably there are unpleasant smells in your house. An air purifier can help reduce some of those odors.
6. Food tastes delicious, but the smells can linger.
Pan-seared fish is delish, but the aroma overstays its welcome. An air purifier can help reduce those and other more subtle smells like smoke from cooking oils.

It's been a LONNNNNNNNNNNNNG week. Tuesday AM, our state health department showed up for our annual survey. (I work in a nursing home/rehab facility. We are inspected annually and it's a pain in the ass.) Yesterday, I did not get to eat lunch until almost 4 pm. In the mean time, I was helping a lady to the bathroom when she suddenly jerked her head backwards, lost her balance and I rode her (or she rode me) to the floor. I was trying to control her fall, get her to bend her knees and lower to the floor, but she stiffened up like a board. Lucky for her I was there to cushion her fall. Me? Not so much. The floor is very hard on 46 year old joints.
Today, I also didn't get to eat until after 3. At 2 pm they called all of us managers and dept heads to the conference room to discuss our survey results. (We passed with ZERO deficiencies! Woo f*ing hoo.) There were too many of us crammed into too small a room, so I was trying to squeeze into a corner and slid down the wall to sit down. Meant to be as unobtrusive as possible, which was going GREAT until I pulled on an electrical cord I didn't know was there and pulled some damn thing the size of a clock radio down on my head. I mean, that thing slammed down from about 4 feet above me. OMG I saw stars. Of course, it was in a room full of our entire management team as well as all of our regional bosses. And one of the dietitians went into a fit of hysterical giggles. F* her and her whole family, man. I'm sitting on the floor, trying not to cry in front of everybody I work with and for, and this bitch is laughing IN MY FACE.
I'm sure it will be funny tomorrow. Maybe.
Or maybe I'll go grumpy cat on her and leave a little pile of dust and red hair in my wake.
Maybe she's just a nervous laugher
The people you do your life with shape the life you live
That's what I am trying to believe. I really don't think she would laugh on purpose at me getting my head bashed in. She was sweet on facebook tonight so I guess I'll let her live, lol.
CRAP! I hit post too soon and now I can't quote BrokenRoad. My poor head really does hurt. I have a goose egg on the left side where whatever it was hit. I also have a bruise on my elbow and knee from the fall yesterday as well as a sore as hell back from trying to not let that lady fall.
I sure hope my bosses appreciate all my sacrifices this week.

Like clockwork, prospects emerge during a recruiting cycle, particularly in the Southeast. There simply are too many outstanding football players around the region to identify them all in a 4-6 month period.
Rivals.com's JC Shurburtt takes a look at 10 prospects from the Southeast you likely have never heard of (or at least not heard much about) that have the chance to emerge as big-time prospects in the Class of 2008.

An interview with Ron Washington
By / MLB.com
Q. Hi, Ron, with Game 2 tomorrow instead of today, how much does that change how much Ogando could pitch in Game 2?
RON WASHINGTON: Well, it won't change anything. As a matter of fact, he would have been down today. The fact that we're not playing today brings him back into play.
Once again, we can get multiples out of him. We'll just see how things go and how bad the need is to push him.
Q. You're saying if we had played tonight, he would not have been available?
RON WASHINGTON: Yes.
Q. Ron, I'm sure you got the news that Ordoñez is no longer going to be in the series with the ankle injury. So they've lost Young and Ordoñez and the series has badly started. How do you think that changes their lineup?
RON WASHINGTON: Well, they've been resilient all year. Right now you can't panic. So they'll do what they have to do to fill that roster spot.
Knowing Jim Leyland, his team will be ready to play tomorrow. There's nothing you can do about that, but that's why you have guys available that if something happens, you can bring them on. They still have enough. It's unfortunate, but sometimes there's not much you can do about it.
But they will come out tomorrow and they will have intentions on winning the ballgame. There's no doubt about that.
Q. With playing four straight games, will this force you to reconsider how you use your catchers over those four games?
RON WASHINGTON: No, it won't.
Q. Are you comfortable with Napoli catching four straight games?
RON WASHINGTON: He's done it before. If there's a change, I'll make it. But I can't sit here now and say that, but we'll see how it goes.
Q. Wash, Neftali has closed out three straight one run wins. How is that, A, on your ticker, and B, do you think he has passed any kind of hurdle by doing this in this kind of setting?
RON WASHINGTON: He done it last year in this setting, so he's under control. He certainly looked focused to me, and I think with each outing, of course he gains more and more experience. This is his second year as a closer. With each successful outing, it just builds his confidence.
I'm very comfortable with him. When you are trying to get those last three outs of a ballgame, I don't think you can do anything about what your ticker is doing. You just hope it continues to tick.
Q. Wash, you said Ogando wouldn't have been available today. I imagine that's in large part to the number of pitches he threw last night. Having started all year, would he be available normally back to back if he doesn't throw a lot of pitches? Or would you normally always give him a day in between?
RON WASHINGTON: Well, where we are right now, there's no tomorrow. So he'll be available unless he extends himself too much. So to answer your question, yes, he would be available.
Q. Ron, you guys haven't had a whole lot of production out of the three and four spots in the lineup to this point this postseason. Is there any concern on your part on Michael or Josh at this point?
RON WASHINGTON: No, that's why you have nine guys in a lineup, and that's why you have 25 on the roster. At this point of the year, you are facing the best that the league has to offer. And as I always said, good pitching will stop hitting. You try not to have that good pitching stop every hitting possibility you have throughout your lineup.
Right now other guys is picking it up. And if those guys happen to at a certain time certain point of a ballgame that we play as we move forward, if they stop hitting, maybe Michael and other guys in the middle of our lineup will pick it up. That's what it's about, team.
So as long as we can go out there and our pitching can keep us in ballgames and we can catch the ball and we can give ourselves an opportunity to be in the ballgame when the ninth inning roll around, it only takes one hit and it doesn't matter who gets it.
Q. Ron, Murphy kind of had an up and down season, but he was very good in September and he's been good in the postseason. What have you seen change with him at the plate?
RON WASHINGTON: He's much more aggressive. When Murphy is very aggressive that's when he's at his best. When he's tentative, a lot of times he take pitches he should be swinging at. That's what he's been doing. He's been more aggressive.
Q. Nolan mentioned that the cancellation postponement tonight was about keeping the integrity of the game, not causing teams to stop and start multiple times. How difficult is that on the players and on you in a game when the game is stopped like that, like it was last night?
RON WASHINGTON: Well, it is tough. But it becomes how mentally tough are you? I don't think any of us can do anything about Mother Nature. Who he she decides to open up, it is what it is. You just have to make adjustments. And it's like adjustments you make during the course of the year.
You certainly--when you start a ballgame, you want to finish a ballgame. I thought last night they did an excellent job of making sure that we got through that ballgame.
They are doing an excellent job today to keep the integrity intact. We are taking BP right now. We're still getting work done. Hopefully tomorrow Mother Nature bless us where we can go out there and play a ballgame. If not, we just have to figure out another way. You take it in stride. That's what it's all about.
Q. Wash, did having Cabrera in the three spot for them last night with the injuries they have change how you approach him in comparison to when he's batting clean up?
RON WASHINGTON: No, you have to be very protective of him if he's leading off. He's a very dangerous baseball player. He can take you out any ballpark anywheres. He seems to shine when there's men on the bag.
So, no, you have to be aware where he is and we knew he was in the third slot, and when he's in the fourth slot, we know that. When he's coming up third in a certain inning, we know that. When he's second, we know that. Wherever he's coming up, if he's leading off an inning, we know that. So, no, we always have our eye on Cabrera.

An interview with Nolan Ryan
Q. What was y'alls feeling as far as postponing the game this early?
Nolan Ryan Well, we felt like out of with the forecast that we had that we didn't want to experience what we did last night; and with the forecast for this evening, it appears that it's going to be duplication of what we saw last night.
I think the one thing we're concerned about is the integrity of the game and not put either team in a situation where possibly the elements could affect the outcome of the game.
Q. When you spoke to the Commissioner, did he support fully everything you said, or did he offer you any advice in this situation?
Nolan Ryan He had been in contact with his personnel here today and was abreast of everything. And it was just a matter of accumulating the information and making a decision.
And obviously he didn't want to see us and our fans and the two teams go through what they did last night.
And so, obviously, with the off day, we have off days and travel days, so it makes more sense to do it tomorrow with a good forecast versus the forecast that we have for this evening.
Q. Nolan, in the postseason, what's the protocol for this? Do you gather information and give it to the Commissioner? Does his people make it? Do you make the call?
Nolan Ryan MLB has a staff here. They have a relationship with National Forecasting Service, and we also have a meteorologist on retainer with us that we use through the course of the season.
So we accumulate all the different information from the different sources and share it with each other and talk about what possibilities there are, what options we might have, how it may impact the game or the field.
So it's an ongoing process, and it started really from last night, looking at the forecast for today, and then obviously following the forecast.
I must say that what we saw last night followed pretty much what we were told by our experts as far as meteorologists and the weather service were concerned, is that they thought we would have a window until about 8:30, maybe a little past that last night, and it held pretty true.
Then what you got were pop up showers starting and those are hard to predict, because you don't know where they're going to occur, when they're going to occur. They're more unpredictable. That's kind of what we're looking at this evening, is that they anticipate what happened last night happening again tonight.
Q. Is there a final authority on this to make the call?
Nolan Ryan I think it comes down to the Commissioner. He takes all the information that he's given. It's ultimately his decision. But I think he considers a lot of the information that he gets from different sources.
Q. Nolan, a pitching question. Playing four days in a row now, can you talk about how that's going to be different, do you feel for the bullpens, then playing three days in a row?
Nolan Ryan Well, you know, obviously it comes down to how far your starting pitching takes you. I'm not for sure how Detroit is planning on using their starters.
But we were looking at going with four starters if everything fell into place, I think. Ron may correct me on that. So I think it depends on how far the starters can take you.
When you get into a situation like last night where you have these lengthy delays, then it impacts your starting pitching. As we saw last night, both starters had thrown a lot of pitches early. Then they had a minimum of an hour wait. That came into play, obviously.
So I think that if we don't have any interruptions, I think that the starting pitching you would in these situations, hopefully think they would pitch much later into the game.
Q. Nolan, when you made the trade for the two relievers, at the time did you think it would be as valuable as the Cliff Lee trade the summer before? And how would you compare this bullpen with some of the others?
Nolan Ryan I think what we did, obviously, when we made the trade, we looked at what our needs were, and we felt like that was the biggest need that we had when we went out and made the trades before the end of the trade deadline.
We felt that was the way we could strengthen our ballclub the most. We felt like it gave us the balance that we were looking for.
So I think that--you know, you look at the Cliff Lee deal last year, and you look at the relievers this year, I think they both had tremendous impact on our ballclub and what we're trying to accomplish.
Q. Is it an underrated bullpen?
Nolan Ryan Well, I think the bullpen has been pretty consistent for us. And I think that it's more experienced this year than it was last year.
I'm not for sure how baseball in general views our bullpen, but I think they view it differently now than they probably did earlier in the year.
Q. Nolan, I just want to clarify on a couple of details about the schedule. When you guys checked, you mentioned there was some similarities to last night's forecast. Was it looking like you guys would have about an hour and a half window to play and then looking at what the rest of the night?
Nolan Ryan Well, what I was referring to, not necessarily the hour and a half window that we had last night, but the weather pattern they felt like would be the same tonight, where we would start getting pop up showers. There's a disturbance out in West Texas. I'm not a meteorologist, but they're talking about the south to north line that we were dealing with last night moved further east, and that it could block this disturbance moving in out of West Texas.
So does it lose some of its energy? They don't know. It's a possibility. But then I think there's going to be some heat build up showers, pop up showers like we had last night that came into play.
They felt like the pattern was similar, was the best I could tell.
Q. Do you do that in front of a map?
Nolan Ryan You know, if this job doesn't work out, you know... Maybe they could use somebody.
Q. To get off the rain for a second, with the hiring of Robin Ventura this week, you've gotten even a little extra notoriety. I'm wondering if you think about the fact this is still a big story decades later?
Nolan Ryan You know, I'm truly surprised by that. I'm really happy for Robin, that he's getting that opportunity. It should be with the White Sox. I think he's the type of person that you want to see in that position, because I think he's good for baseball, and he knows the game. And he played the game the right way. So I'm happy to see him in that position.
But I am, I'm surprised that this thing has had the life that it's had.
Q. Nolan, with the way the season ended and the races and how great it was when it came to the end and for the playoffs to kind of pick that right up and be the same kind of games played, and all of them were extended to the full five games and everything that's happened, I don't know how much you're paying attention to the other series and what's going on, but what's your take on all this?
Nolan Ryan I think what's happened with the Wild Card races and now with the playoffs like it is, I think it's been extremely good for baseball. It has put us on the forefront on the sports page with a lot of people talking about the games that have been played and scattered around the country like it is.
So I think it's been good. You know, you just never know until it comes down to the last out what the end result is going to be. So I think it's been real good.

hmm the art direction looks more like a deodorant ad instead of a Listerine ad. Call me conventional but I want to see it tied back to the persons mouth… not their raised arms. The second one with the ambulance is closest out of all in idea but it's still far from perfect.
at least the boxing one i had it years ago
What the hell are you talkin' about Yulia? It's a bit classic but nevertheless it's a nice campaign to look at. Nice photography, funny art direction. Nice post Fredster.
I partially agree with Yulia – it does seem like a deodorant ad in 2/3 of the ads.
But the art direction and photography are quite good.
The ads are funny and attention grabbing, and the Listermint bottle doe pay it off well.
Happy Marketing.

These are well-produced ideas that could easily have run back in the '60s. Probably would have been funnier then, too.

Heavy equipment maker Caterpillar (NYSE: CAT) is experiencing a few hiccups right now, but it may serve your long-term portfolio well.
It generates almost two-thirds of its revenue from international markets, and many expect great demand from China. After all, China recently announced plans to spend more than $250 billion on infrastructure. Caterpillar�s third-quarter results don�t reflect much of that spending yet, though, as it reported declining sales in China. (Growth in Australia offset much of that, demonstrating the power of diversification.) The company also reined in near-term revenue and earnings growth expectations.
Right now the best prospects for growth seem centered on domestic opportunities, where sales of equipment and machinery rose 9 percent in the third quarter. It was in resources and not construction where the greatest gains were made, though, and Caterpillar also warned that dealers report having too much inventory on hand.
Because of its global reach and its concentration in construction and mining, Caterpillar feels the effects of the global recession as harshly, if not more so, than its peers. Still, the world�s economies will eventually recover, and as they do, Caterpillar will benefit. You might keep an eye on the company, or jump in and collect a 2.4 percent dividend yield while you wait. Its five-year average dividend growth rate is about 7 percent, with plenty of room to grow.

These tech New Year's resolutions are far more easy to keep, and can be completed from the comfort of your own home. (And while you're there, check out our collection of tutorials to give you thousands more reasons to avoid the gym.)
1. 2017 tech resolutions: Back up your data
Consider the amount of personal data stored on your PC, laptop, tablet or smartphone. You'll have photos, videos, music files, documents and more. Not only will some of these be irreplaceable, but it probably took you quite some time to gather them all together and make yourself at home on that computer. Now imagine someone steals your laptop, or your hard drive fails, or you accidentally overwrite those files. It happens every day, but you can quickly and easily set up an automated backup plan to protect your data. Follow our advice in ourHow to back up PC, laptop, tablet or phone to get started from a laptop or PC, or see how to back up Android.
2. 2017 tech resolutions: Don't be so easily fooled
No doubt you've read all our advice on securing your PC or laptop with good anti-malware, anti-spyware and a firewall (see Security Advisor), but there's one final piece of the security puzzle with which to contend: you. No offence intended, of course, but you are the weakest component in your computer's defences. It is you who chooses easy-to-guess passwords, clicks on links or opens attachments in emails without checking they are legit, falls victim to phishing attacks and leaves traces of your identity all over the web. The solution is simple, and good advice for all walks of life: think before you act. You can also read up on our security advice, starting with how to stop hackers stealing your data.
Should you do all the above and still get infected by a virus, see how to remove malware from a PC or laptop, or from how to remove malware from Android.
3. 2017 tech resolutions: Manage your digital reputation
It's important to realise that these days your chances of securing that job of a lifetime depend on much more than your qualifications and CV. Your digital reputation is crucial. So, whether it's to support your career or simply to prevent your friends thinking you're an idiot and deleting you, watch what you post on social networks such as Twitter and Facebook, particularly when you're somewhat worse for wear. Here are some tips on protecting your online reputation, too.
4. 2017 tech resolutions: Spring clean in summer, autumn and winter
Over time your PC will pick up all sorts of dust, grime and other yucky stuff, which is not only a bit gross, but it can cause the computer to overheat and slow down performance. Clean up your act! This one might involve you getting out of bed, but your efforts will be rewarded as your flagging PC is put back on track. Also see how to speed up Windows 10 and how to speed up a PC or laptop.
5. 2017 tech resolutions: Upgrade to Windows 10
Out with the old and in with the new. If you're still using Windows Vista, 7 or 8, you're either very patient or you just don't know that life doesn't have to be like this. Windows 10 is Microsoft's flagship operating system, and you don't need to buy a new PC or laptop to enjoy it. We help you decide whether you should upgrade to Windows 10 - and if you want to give it a try, here's how to install Windows 10.
6. 2017 tech resolutions: Rescue your analogue media
Analogue media, such as printed photos, slides and negatives won't last forever and, for each year that passes, you step that little bit closer to losing forever your precious memories. Follow our simple walkthroughs on digitising your photos and take action now.
- How to scan or photograph old photos
- How to scan photographic negatives
- How to scan old colour slides
- Top tips on scanning old photos, negatives and slides
Analogue audio and video are subject to the same fate, so also check out our guides on converting audio tapes to CD or MP3 and VHS videos to DVD or Mpeg4.
7. 2017 tech resolutions: Perfect your photos for free
We aren't all pro photographers, and you've probably got hundreds of digital photos that should have been worthy contenders for framing on the wall or sharing with friends and family but, ultimately, were a let-down. The perfect photographic moment may have passed, but it isn't too late to rescue your marred shots. You can correct blurred photos, remove red-eye, delete unwanted objects and more, all for free, with our useful tips. See our guide on fixing your photos for free.
8. 2017 tech resolutions: Get fit with technology
Smartwatches and fitness bands are the way forward in 2016. If you've made a resolution to lose some weight or just get in shape, check out ways technology can help you get fit. Also see our list of the best smartwatches and best fitness trackers.
These are our top eight; add your own tech New Year's resolutions in the Comments below.

Senate Passes Body Piercing Bill
The State Senate passed legislation today, sponsored by Senator Frank Padavan (Queens), that would require parental consent for the piercing and branding of minors and prohibit the piercing, tattooing, and branding of those under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
"Parents help their children with many of the decisions they face throughout childhood and adolescence," Padavan said. "When it comes to most medical procedures parental consent and notification is required. This bill would help parents be involved in the decisions that their underage children make and guide them in the right direction with regards to body piercing."
The legislation would make the piercing or branding (excluding ear piercing) of children under the age of 18 a Class B misdemeanor. Exceptions would be made for emancipated minors, minors with parental consent and religious rituals. Under current law, tattooing a minor is a crime. The legislation would also make it crime to tattoo, brand or pierce any individual who is under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Existing law does not address this issue.
Public health organizations including the Mayo Clinic, the American Dental Association, the American Medical Association along with the New York State Department of Health have all repeatedly stressed the health risks and dangers associated with body piercing.
At least nineteen states and several counties throughout New York State have already adopted their own laws regulating piercing, branding and tattooing. This bill would provide a state standard regulating body art for minors and intoxicated individuals. "Since some counties and local governments throughout New York have enacted their own legislation and regulations addressing body piercing of minors, this bill would bring more conformity under state law. By enacting this legislation any confusion from difference in local policies would be eliminated and we will be better able to help protect our minors," Padavan said.
"This is the eighth time this legislation has passed the Senate with bipartisan support," Padavan said. "Assembly passage of this legislation is long overdue. In order to make the progress we need and to better protect our children the Assembly must act on this legislation. In order to do so, I encourage all parents to send a message to their Assembly member and tell them to pass this legislation this session."

Wildlife? Yah, plenty dat too. And of course, the football… many shed-loads of that! They do sport, they do fashion, they do science, they do arts, they build things, they party-hard and they're the economic power-house of the region. Sure, they have few teeny political snags on the agenda at the moment (who hasn't? 🙂 ) but overall, we're looking forward to seeing Brazil (and those beaches!)

Doug Krizner: The Fed's committee on interest rates meets today. Wanna guess what they'll do? We've got an economy's that's probably in recession, a financial system that's beyond stress. Many in the markets expect to see the Fed cut by a full percentage point. This would be the biggest rate cut in a generation.
Whether it'll help the situation may be debatable, but one thing seems certain: lower rates will cheapen the value of the dollar. John Dimsdale has more.
John Dimsdale: Lower interest rates discourage foreigners from investing in the United States, says Kathy Lien at Dailyfx.com.
Kathy Lien: The further the Federal Reserve cuts interest rates, the lower the U.S. dollar will fall.
The falling dollar is giving European exporters fits, since they can't compete against cheap American products. Some economists wonder if the European Central Bank, which has yet to lower interest rates, might do so now.
Alan Blinder: I don't anticipate it, but I'm wishing for it and rooting for it.
Former Fed vice chairman Alan Blinder says its time the Federal Reserve got some international help.
Blinder: The Fed is sort of standing alone trying to stem a worldwide financial crisis. It's not just a U.S. problem, and it would make the Fed's job less difficult if we could get some rate cuts out of Europe.
But Europe's stronger economy means lower interest rates there could spark inflation. And that's why Blinder doesn't expect any coordinated transatlantic rate cuts in the near future.
In Washington, I'm John Dimsdale for Marketplace.

A man had his vehicle impounded on Monday night after allegedly being caught drink driving twice in a matter of 90 minutes.
Police spokesman Sam Dinnison said the man, driving a Ford Laser was pulled over in Busselton about 6pm on Bussel Highway.
"He failed the preliminary test and was taken to the police station where he failed the test again with a result in excess of 0.8," Mr Dinnison said.
He was charged for driving under the influence of alcohol and also driving without a licence.
At 7.15pm police pulled over the same vehicle in Albert Street, Busselton.
The vehicle was stopped and the same person was driving.
He was breath tested and was found to have a blood alcohol reading of more than 0.5.
He was charged with driving under the influence of alcohol and driving without a licence again and had his car impounded for 28 days.
The man is set to appear in court on February 13.

BREAN Golf Club hit the road for their annual away trips this week and, as usual, the venue was the Channel Course at Burnham and Berrow for the Boycie Trophy on Saturday and the Car Rally Trophy on Sunday.
The course only just survived the weather of the last week as it was covered in four inches of snow as recently as Friday and then received another deluge of rain on Saturday night.
Considering this, the course played pretty well and, with a couple of extra local rules added, the players set about scoring as many stableford points as they could.
The later starters had to endure a couple of icy cold rain/hail showers as they completed their back nines so, not surprisingly, the majority of the better scores came from the early groups.
Trevor Pitt was suitably attired for the soggy conditions in his golfing wellies and he quietly accumulated the best score of the day. His round of 41 points saw him collect points on every hole and was three better than anyone else managed.
Another early starter, Steve Jones, was one of two players to hand in 38s with Paul McLanaghan producing the best round of the later starters being the other. Murray Parsons was next in line with 37 just ahead of Pete Dunn, Paul Jones and Phil Hodgson all with 36. The format of the day, though, was a Blind Pair' so anticipation grew as the cards were drawn out of the box to ascertain everyone's partners.
Early leaders were Steve Jones and Barrie Tucker on 73 and they led until the last two cards remained. Fittingly, it was the two best scores of the day that took the top prize as the last two cards saw Trevor Pitt paired with Paul McLanaghan for an unbeatable 79.
Jones and Tucker took second while Phil Hodgson and Steve Bateman beat Pete Dunn and Chris Fairchild on countback after they both totalled 68. The only two was scored by Tony Richards as he birdied the second hole to take home the healthy the pot.
Assistant Professional Roy Baker won the Boycie Trophy played over the Channel Course the previous day with a score of 34 points. Three bogies in his front nine score of 15 points were followed by another dropped shot at the 10th after he had lost a ball.
An impressive birdie at the tough 11th regained one of those shots and the downwind par five 13th was also birdied by him on his way to the winning score.
Head pro Andrew March took the runners-up spot for the second year running on 33 in what proved to be a good day for the Pros. Third place went to Craig Wheelaghan, who notched 32, which was all the more impressive considering he failed to score on four of the 18 holes.
The only lady in the field was Jenny Vaughan and she finished a very creditable fourth with a score of 31 while Andy Thomas rounded out the prizewinners on 30 beating Trevor Pitt on a back nine countback for the place.

This isn't exactly how Elizabeth and Ray Shishkoff envisioned the delivery of their first baby.
The Glen Ellyn couple was on the way to Elmhurst Hospital when Elizabeth Shishkoff's contractions became too overwhelming. Her husband pulled to the shoulder of eastbound I-88 just before 4 a.m. and called police.
State Police and the York Center Fire Protection District responded to the scene, but by the time emergency medical services arrived, Ray Shishkoff had delivered Charlotte River, 7 pounds, 20 inches, at 4:05 a.m.
"Charlotte just came out and luckily there weren't any complications," he said.
The baby was in her mother's arms and doing well by the time paramedics arrived.
"My feet were on the dashboard and then Ray was kind of out of the car and kind of stuck his head in front of me," Elizabeth Shishkoff said.
"I was just trying to get through it," she said.
Ray Shishkoff appears on the baby's birth certificate twice, as Charlotte's father and the person who delivered her.
