Imagine you're in the subway. You take the first train you can catch and pass by a random number of stops in a random direction, then transfer to another train. You go by another number of stations, and repeat the process. Your travels have both a random component (your random decisions) and a deterministic one (the subway routes and timetables, which all are connected rigidly).
Next, assume your transfers find you on an express train with a stop at the end of the route. Suddenly, while it contributed significantly to where you now find yourself, the random element is gone. Your fate is set. You quickly will travel to the end of the line and depart.
As it turns out, this process closely resembles that of the forex markets. In financial markets, similar situations also happen, except that Markov criterion is the subway timetable and bars on the price chart become stations. Here, we'll examine these processes in the context of the forex market on a daily time frame, with all calculations relating to closing of the trading day. Following an overview of Markov chains and a discussion of this unique way of viewing the market, we'll demonstrate an algorithm to build a simplified model for independent research.
Markov chains in FX
Millions of trading operations are performed in the forex market daily. When most of its participants share different views, the market moves sideways, but if there exists a prevailing sentiment, we witness stable price development. In the course of this development, every day has a certain connection with all previous days. This is a price memory that grows weaker as the market trades through time.
In mathematics, such relationships correspond to Markov processes, and sequences themselves are called Markov chains. Andrey Markov (1856-1922) was a Russian mathematician who specialized in stochastic processes, and many of his contributions lend themselves well to the financial market. Researching series of price movements based on the nonlinear dynamic model has made it possible to formalize Markov criterion for the forex market, and to determine points at which these processes start developing with high probability.
One of the main things about this model is the conclusion that five-day market chains are the most stable and predictable. As such, they provide the strongest base for a trading approach. The result of the model is the digital sentiment function d(t) that takes on a value +1 for upward motion, -1 for downward motion, and 0 for absence of any distinct sentiment. These chains conform according to two rules:
- If another chain is identified going in the same direction as a chain already building, it's added to the previous chain. This increases its current length by five days;
- If there's a chain in the opposite direction, it cancels the previous chain and establishes another direction.
"Chain gang" (below) shows a digital sentiment function for the euro/dollar pair in the two-month interval from Nov. 15, 2010, to Jan. 14, 2011. We can see both five-day single chains and their compositions in this chart. This result already conveys the market meaning, but it's quite rough for trading. Our next step is to get a more precise characteristic, called a sentiment index, of one currency.
Global sentiment index
When we analyze a currency, we do so in the context of pair quotations. We don't research a currency individually, only how it relates to other currencies, which are in turn affected by others. It would be much more informative to get independent characteristics of separate currencies and then check them. For that reason, while building our sentiment index we look at currencies separately using the assembly of their crosses. For example, the sentiment index formula for the euro can be put as follows:
Where "qi" are weight constants for 17 euro crosses: EUR vs. U.S. dollar, pound, Swiss Franc, yen, Canadian dollar, Australian dollar, New Zealand dollar, Argentinian Nuevo peso, Brazilian real, Chinese renminbi, Indonesian rupiah, Indian rupee, South Korean won, Mexican peso, ruble, Turkish lira and South African rand . The variable di(t) is a digital sentiment function for these crosses. Our index reflects the weighted sentiment for the euro on a global scale and is quite an accurate indicator. Similarly, we can calculate indexes for USD, GBP, CHF, JPY, etc.
Practical results
"Tracking the euro" (below) contains the results of calculated sentiment indexes for the euro and the dollar. Such a comparative chart carries a great deal more information about the sentiment of the currency pair in question. Let's note the main points from its analysis.
The crossing of the indexes indicates a changing in currencies' power balance and can be used most successfully as basis of a trading strategy. However, statistically, with the indexes' differential being more than 0.65, the probability of a positive trading scenario rises to 80%. This is the main technique used with this method. In the period shown, this took place six times: long on Nov. 18, short on Nov. 24-30, long on Dec. 1-3, long on Dec. 24-30, short on Jan. 5-7 and long on Jan. 12-14.
The index ratio also allows us to understand the reasons of the present movement more deeply. For instance, the fall in the euro from Nov. 24 to Nov. 30 was caused not only by dollar strength but mostly euro weakness relative to other currencies. In other words, traders were selling the euro more than they were buying the dollar. The same situation happened Jan. 5 to Jan. 7. We saw the opposite scenario Dec. 1 to Dec. 3 when against a background of moderate euro sentiment, the dollar was exposed to pressure. The current strength of the euro also is supported by a strong buying interest.
A sudden change of index differential, as a rule, signals a forthcoming rush. In most cases, it's possible to realize profit in a short space of time and with tight stops. This was the case on Dec. 1 and Jan. 10. The stop could have been quite tight in the first case, and it was followed by four figures of changes over the three trading days. In the second example, the differential reached a key value in just two days. Here, two other features took place, as well:
- Close proximity of the index lines suggests a flat market. At that rate, the method usually generates short one- or two-day decisions, like on Nov. 18.
- Consecutively, a rising differential indicates a developing trend, which happened Dec. 24 to Dec. 30.
In spite of the virtues of this approach, it has a considerable shortcoming. It allows us only to forecast one day ahead. This is the price we have to pay for precision. Maintaining day-by-day open trades based on this method is quite comfortable, though. This technology is universal among currencies.
Enter the averages
For an even simpler approach than the digital sentiment function, we can use a variation that uses simple moving averages. First, we must define the construction mechanism for the function d(t). As a basis, let's take a five-day simple moving average, paired with a copy of itself, just shifted one day forward.
This way, every downright intersection of the simple moving average with its shifted twin will initiate a five-day chain with a negative sentiment and assign the digital sentiment function with the value -1. An upright intersection will get the value +1. With this approach, chains don't "stack" as they do with the original digital sentiment function. They only shift direction.
Next, let's take 0.094 as the weight constant for USD, EUR, GBP, CHF, JPY currencies, and 0.048 for the rest. Over the period shown in "Sentiment lite" (below), the moving average approach generated 11 trading decisions when the euro and dollar sentiment indexes differential exceeded 0.65. The overall result was +252 points (with a 55% winning ratio). We got this positive performance mainly thanks to the crosses' assembly and the logic of the five-day chains.
The power of this approach in its original form, and the solid results of the moving average variation, indicate the digital sentiment function is a powerful trading tool as well as a rich foundation for further study.

Staff-recommended viewing from the KPL catalog.
When the film begins the warning label for Getaway with Selena Gomez and Ethan Hawke says Mayhem throughout and indeed there is. Basically Ethan Hawke has to drive Selena Gomez's armored Shelby GT500 car around town and crash into everything especially police cars. Pretty much there was a crash or explosion every 5 minutes throughout the movie. So who cares what the plot is, cars crash and explosions happened. There is a plot but really it is secondary to crashes, Ethan's wife is kidnapped and Ethan, an ex race car driver is forced to drive what turns out to be Selena Gomez's car which is now outfitted with cameras so the bad guy can watch and listen to the occupants. Selena's dad runs the bank the bad guy is trying to rob. He gets Ethan to cause accidents at strategic points to block traffic and then the bad guy makes his move. You have to let go of logic and just sit back and enjoy but 2 things still bugged me. Ethan is driving an armored car and yet he is scared of bad guys on motor bikes. Just wiggle your car and knock into them, motor bikes are notorious for falling down. The second point was when Selena Gomez "reprograms" the cameras by grabbing one and rotating its lens back and forth and voila it is now a live feed to the police. She is that good. For this movie, turn up your sound especially your bass, turn off your logic and sit back and enjoy.
The new documentary film Room 237 may have only limited appeal but if you love Stanley Kubrick's movies (Paths of Glory, Full Metal Jacket, The Killing, 2000: A Space Odyssey), especially his adaptation of Stephen King's novel The Shining, then this is a must-see film. Structured as an introduction to the many provocative theories about The Shining and its meaning, viewers hear (but never shown) several die-hard fans meticulously outline what they think the film is about and what Kubrick was attempting to express. Those interested in Kubrick's controversial version (Stephen King hated it) conspiracy theories will love the film and the way it depicts both the intellectual limits of critical semiotics and deconstruction as well as the depth of passion and obsession invested in such a project. Was it really a deeply coded criticism of the genocide of the American Indian or could it have been a winking apology for Kubrick's participation in the faking of the moon landing and c'mon, what's up with those cans of Calumet baking soda? If anything, the film proves that art and an artist's intentions can be interpreted in a number of ways, often resulting with comical conclusions but it also serves as a celebration of theory as an intellectual exercise in deepening our capacity to think more dynamically and critically about the power of messaging and the coding of media.
Arguably, one of Canada's greatest films, Mon Oncle Antoine is a coming of age tale set in rural Quebec. Beautifully shot and with wonderful acting, it's an unsentimental portrait of young people caught up in a confusing and hostile adult world, where youthful innocence is shattered and when growing up means experiencing complex realities. The film is set in the 1940's as a small mining town prepares for Christmas celebrations. But unlike most holiday films that purposefully avoid seriousness and genuine pathos, Claude Jutra's film tenderly addresses the subject of adolescent awakenings under the specter of sex and death. This 1971 film was Jutra's masterpiece and a brilliant film that captures both the goodness in people as well as their human failings. Read a film essay about the film here.
Usually I am disappointed with Cuba Gooding Jr. movies. Maybe I lowered my expectations or maybe this is a good movie, you watch and decide. The Ticking Clock is about a true crime reporter becoming involved in a murder. When Lewis Hicks (Cuba Gooding Jr.) girlfriend, or maybe better said the woman he is seeing while he is separated from his wife, is murdered. Lewis chases the guy and in a scuffle the murderer drops his journal. When Lewis reads the journal there are entries for more murders to take place in the future. Keech (Neal McDonough) is our murderer and he makes a good one. Lewis is not liked by the police as he has written negative things about them in previous articles so they are not very willing to help him. Everything keeps pointing to a 9 year old boy in an orphanage who is interested in science and time machines. Keech is that grown up boy and is traveling back in time murdering people thinking that he can change things and make his future better. He murders his abusive mother but instead of making things right he is now raised by his aunt and she is worse. Lewis investigates and finds this boy at the orphanage and visits him, takes him to the zoo, is tempted to smother the boy with a pillow and change the future. I think my problem with Cuba Gooding Jr. is his face. He has a face for stern, or mad or thinking and it is the same face. His smiling face is a little different.
A groundbreaking documentary when first released in 1968, this Albert and David Maysles (Grey Gardens, Gimme Shelter) production follows the emotional up's and down's of a group of door-to-door salesman who are charged with the peddling of a gold embossed version of the Good Book. Each of these real life Willy Loman's has a nickname (The Rabbit, The Gipper, The Bull) which adds an element of fictive artifice, but what the Maysles brothers are really after, is to paint a psychological portrait of the inner turmoil these men feel as they grind their way through each pitch, expressing frustration (at both each other and their customers), skepticism toward the future of their profession and in some cases, a celebratory belief in the power of their vocation. Funny, heartbreaking and myth-busting, Salesman is an American classic of cinema verite.
The great movie directors have always shown an interest in exploring the subject of growing up and the themes of adolescent awakening, rites of passage and the sometimes complex depiction of individuals straddling both adulthood and childhood. As many different kinds of filmmakers as there are, so to have these kinds of movies been varied, both in terms of genre, point of view and style. Childhood it would appear from some of the beloved films that have been inspired by the subject, is messy, complicated and rendered as a darn right miserable experience. Youth's opposite condition, the aging process and growing old has also been explored with both tenderness and horror. Sometimes depicted with gritty realism, other times with romantic sentimentality, many of these films examine the way that the elderly either flourish by growing open to new and different ideas about what it means to live or in some cases, investigate the many difficulties that the elderly are confronted with. Here is a brief list of some of the great films that tackle the subject of both youth and the elderly with intelligence, artfulness and humanity. AgingHarry and Tonto Harold and Maude Umberto D Away from Her Amour Nobody's Fool On Golden Pond Ikiru Tokyo Story The Up Series The Straight Story YouthMurmur of the Heart My Life as a Dog Forbidden Games Mon Oncle Antoine Stand by Me Kid with a Bike Spirit of the Beehive The Ice Storm Good Morning Bicycle Thieves George Washington 400 Blows Ratcatcher Moonlight Kingdom Ivan's Childhood Fish Tank Hoop Dreams Rushmore
Cult film Blast of Silence (1961), which seemingly came out of nowhere in the early nineties after years of existing amidst a fog of cinematic obscurity, is a blast of style, kinetic energy and unsentimental nihilism. It's a low budget but artistically rendered and edited gem of a film that follows the life of an increasingly conflicted, paid hit man trying to get out of the business even as he preps for his next pay day during the holiday season. Frankie 'Baby Face' Bono stalks his New York City target with machine-like precision while at the same time becoming emotionally interested in an old friend's sister. Made on a shoe-string budget, Allen Baron's taut thriller perfectly encapsulates the look and feel of similar films of that era connected to the independent film movement of the late 50's and early 1960's.
The less I say about the BBC America thrillerOrphan Black, probably the better. Full of suspense, the show centers around Sarah, a drug-dealing petty criminal who suddenly finds herself in the middle of a mystery when she sees a woman jump in front of a subway train. The thing is, the woman looks like her—and not just a little bit, but exactly like her. Sarah then embarks on a journey to find out who the dead woman is and ends up questioning her own story. The plot is fascinating and always surprising; there are no red herrings here. As details unfold, perspectives change but nothing is thrown in just as a ploy to lead the audience astray (a sign of a good mystery if you ask me). Tatiana Maslany, the star of the show, does an excellent job playing multiple, demanding roles that would not work in the hands of a less talented actress. Orphan Black will definitely make it onto my "best of 2013" list.
The great films from the silent era to today have always addressed the significant, universal themes and truths that lie at the core of human experience. There may be no better film made about the end of life and the instinctive response to look back on one's dreams, laments, regrets, and accomplishments while standing upon the precipice than Japanese director, Akira Kurosawa's Ikiru (Bergman's Wild Strawberries is a close second). More than a somber piece of cinema about an unremarkable everyman's last days, Ikiru (meaning "to live") is a life affirming and poetic masterpiece that beautifully portrays our main character's search for meaning as he learns he has a terminal disease. Kanji Watanabe, a government employee who nobody seems to know or respect, agonizes over the belief that he has not lived a full life of importance and it's this doubt that drives him forward to engage his fleeting days with a fierce purpose. For like so many, the presence of the end animates what it means to be alive. Kurosawa uses his immense directorial talents to bring this theme alive in fresh and unique ways. Fans of Kurosawa's samurai movies may be surprised at the heartbreaking tenderness that he exhibits in this, his most endearing and humane film that explores life's preciousness through one man's death.
Sleepwalk with me is about a comedian who has REM disorder disease. Matt is a comedian who is currently working as a bartender and Abby is his girlfriend. They go to his sister's engagement party and his parents and friends are putting pressure on him to get married. His sister had been seeing her guy for only two and half hears while Matt has been with Abby for eight years His girlfriend is great, can sing, people love her. I think one of the telling lines is when Matt tells his sister everyone thinks Abby is amazing; mom and dad think she is amazing, our friends think she is amazing. I think everyone thinks the best thing about my life is my girlfriend. Matt is not ready for marriage and the pressure causes him to sleepwalk. At his parent's house during a sleep walking episode he thinks the hamper is a jackal and he is kicking it. Matt gets an agent and she sends him on some comedy gigs. They are scattered about the east coast and involve a lot of driving and time away from home. He becomes exhausted and the sleep walking episodes get worse. His comedy, however, gets better. At one comedy club a veteran comedian talks with him off stage and Matt makes a joke about marriage. The veteran says that's funny you should use it in your show. Matt's comedy gets funnier as he jokes with the audience about marriage, making fun of it. One night Abby comes home at 4 am very drunk and starts to pack a suitcase, Matt wants her to stay and agrees to get married in the summer. As we watch Abby plan for the wedding and Matt touring and doing his comedy act we see his sleepwalking progress until finally he thinks a missile is coming at him (signifying the upcoming wedding) and he jumps out of a second story window. This is a deadpan humor type of story; the most humorous parts are his sleepwalking dreams. It's a real type of story, real issues, real struggles, real relationship problems, with comedy sprinkled in especially in the sleepwalking dreams.

- A worried mother, her trapped baby and a Wildcat.
Mark Sowers is living a childhood dream of helping wildlife. As an undergraduate he worked with bison on Kansas State University's Konza Prairie. As an alumnus he studies elephants in Kenya. One morning, his research team received reports of a baby elephant trapped in a well dug by Maasai cattle herders. Sowers and three others rushed to the site and struggled for more than 30 minutes to pull the several-hundred-pound baby to safety. With a small rope, teamwork — and a lot of perseverance — they eventually reunited baby and mother.

Sophocles's Electra, written around 409 B.C., is based on the legend of the House of Atreus, a story which contemporary Greek audiences would have known from childhood. The major themes of this story concern retribution for crimes committed within the family of Atreus, who was Electra's grandfather. Electra's duty in the play is to avenge her father's murder, but this involves killing her own mother, another crime which will have consequences down the line.
Sophocles's tragedy deals with the fate of mortals such as Electra and her brother Orestes, who act out lives which seem on the one hand to be determined by the gods, yet on the other hand are shaped by decisions made by seemingly autonomous individuals. One reason why Sophocles's plays were so successful was that he was able to articulate this complex and problematic relationship between humans and gods in a probing yet eloquent manner. His audiences responded to Electra's filial duty to avenge her father's death, for this was an honorable deed, and they were affected by the tragic consequences which it involved.
The powerful characters in Electra express many emotions with which Athenian audiences identified. Many of these themes still prove captivating centuries later, for they are universal human feelings of love and hate, suffering and triumph. Critics have noted that in other versions of the same story, such as Aeschylus's Oresteia trilogy, events are presented as the result of destiny, whereas Sophocles brings the action down to the human sphere and causes his audience to wonder at the level of responsibility which man has for his own actions.

Hillary Clinton has made her first major visit to Upstate New York since taking on the job of Secretary of State three years ago. Clinton was featured in a public forum at Syracuse University. YNN's Bill Carey says while the Secretary's focus was on foreign policy, the attention of the media and public was focused firmly on domestic politics.
SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- For Hillary Clinton, it was something of a homecoming. A place she had visited often as a U.S. Senator. Now, she was here as Secretary of State, to explain the mission she has been on for the past three years. Work, she says, to re-establish faith overseas in the United States.
"To reassure people that the United States would get through the economic crisis, that we would continue to provide leadership on the full range of issues that affect us as well as the rest of the world," she said.
Clinton was questioned at the forum by her former deputy, now dean of Syracuse University's Maxwell School, James Steinberg, on a wide range of topics from human rights to energy policy to the environment.
Hillary Clinton is widely expected to step down as Secretary of State at the completion of Barack Obama's first term as President. There's speculation, of course, that she will then embark on a race for the presidency in 2016. She's done what she can to tamp down that speculation, saying she'd prefer to spend her time writing, teaching and relaxing.
She will skip a visit to this year's democratic convention. But don't read that as her being disengaged from the domestic political scene. She made clear she has strong views on the ongoing budget and deficit standoff in Washington.
Clinton said, "We can disagree about what to about the deficit or the debt, but let's not pretend you can keep cutting taxes and end our deficit and debt. We do great damage to our political system when we act like ideology in the American political process is more important than facts."
Ideology which, she claims, has produced simplistic answers to complicated problems.
"Cutting taxes is not going to produce huge amounts of revenue," Clinton said. "We tried that in the 80s, and it didn't work so well. My husband had a different idea. He kind of understood arithmetic, and so he said, okay, we got to do a little of this and a little of that and he got to a a balanced budget and a surplus."
Clinton says she is not interested in running for office again -- but skeptics always seem to see hints that that decision could change.
"It's exciting to have ideas that you would like to work toward," Clinton said. "It's exciting to convince people to work with you towards implementing those ideas."
Clinton has grown more popular in her role at the State Department. He approval rating, in a poll taken last fall, stood at 69 percent.

WEBSTER COUNTY, Ky. (3/27/13) - When did our society develop a complete lack of respect for those around us? It's weird really, because nobody respects anybody else, yet there is a complete unwritten set of rules to govern what is "politically correct."
I wonder if the two things don't go hand-in-hand. Maybe the public got so completely fed up with all the PC stuff and just gave up on having any respect for anyone else. Political correctness started as a way to try not to insult people, and it has turned into a weapon to be used against other people.
For example, Xbox Live recently banned Josh Moore for violating its code of conduct. His offense? Filling out his Xbox Live profile. Moore lives in the town of Fort Gay, West Virginia. Microsoft said the word "gay" is always offensive. Never mind that several US townships incorporate the word into their name, many people have Gay as a first or last name. He was later reinstated, but not until after the story made headlines.
This was clearly either someone being overzealous, or someone trying to prove a point.
Politically correct madness is everywhere. In September Verenice Gutierrez, principal at Harvey Scott K-8 School in Portland, Oregon, tried to say that peanut butter sandwiches were racist because they symbolized "white privilege."
There was no mention of George Washington Carver. Historic fact is that Carver did not invent peanut butter as we were all taught (evidence shows that the Incan Empire had it as far back as 950 B.C) but he did reinvent it and make it a household product. Without him none of us would ever have known about peanut butter!
An atheist friend of mine recently told me that they were offended by Christians who said "I'm praying for you and your family."
Really? If you don't believe in God, then why would you be offended by someone else praying to Him for you? If a person of another religion told me they were praying to their god for me, I wouldn't put any faith in those prayers, but I would be flattered that they thought enough of me to pray for me.
What really got me to thinking about this was an article I read on a website recently. The Portland Thorns, a women's pro soccer team in Oregon, pulled a line of t-shirts off the shelf that had a sexual-innuendo printed on it. You would not believe the amount of people who were up in arms about the decision.
I am not really easily offended, either by humor or language. But I do believe that if you do curse or tell dirty jokes, you should at least respect the people you're around. If you wouldn't be comfortable telling the joke to your 90 year old grandmother or your six year old daughter, you probably should not put it on a t-shirt.
That used to be the way we judged offensiveness. If you would be ashamed to say it or do it in front of your parents, grandparents, children or preacher, it was offensive. You might curse at work, but when you went to see your grandma you cleaned it up.
Now you say whatever you want and you tell anyone who is offended that they are infringing on your freedom of speech.
What is the world going to be like in another 20 years? We are going to need an all new language, because I don't think English can possibly contain all of the politically correct terms we're going to need.

Dedicated by the Jacobs and Chill Families in Memory of Harold and Pearl JacobsDora Bas Rivka Silver O'H
Shoftim - Shlishi
Rabbi Eric Levy
Because Cows Have Four Stomachs, You Know
Since the Tribe of Levi has no portion of land in Israel - their portion being the service of God - the kohanim receive specific parts of certain sacrifices, plus the various gifts referred to as terumah. From cattle, sheep and goats, they get the right foreleg, the jaw and a specific stomach (the abomasum). They get a portion of grain, wine, oil and sheep's wool. This is because of the work God has chosen them to perform on behalf of the nation.

When the Eagles brought him to Philadelphia in 2011, Cullen Jenkins was supposed to be missing link along the defensive interior that would stabilize the run defense, help collapse the pocket and make quarterbacks feel uncomfortable. While Jenkins showed flashes of being just that over his two-year stay with the team, he never quite found that consistent groove the the Eagles were hoping for on the field. Off the field, you wont find a better human being. With his quiet demeanor, Jenkins treated everyone he encountered -- both in the locker rom and out of it -- with respect. He was one of the few real, stand-up guys who would always appear at his locker and answers endless questions from the media, no matter how bleak the situation. When I went to his home on Tuesday to interview him after he was released, Jenkins alluded to how his verbal confrontation on the sideline with Andy Reid last preseason was blown out of proportion. He admitted that, even now, the unfortunate incident still bothered him. He's never wanted to be viewed as a confrontational or disrespectful player. With the Eagles committing to a new head coach and going with younger players, the 32-year-old Jenkins knew the writing was on the wall. He made too much money and had to be one of the cap casualties for a franchise looking to free up dollars in order to move in a different direction. Jenkins holds no animosity toward the Eagles organization and wishes his now-former team all the best in the future. He will bounce back with another team, hoping to put himself in a position to reach another Super Bowl before his career ends.
Jenkins was consummate teammate with Eagles

A Downing Street spokesperson said UK Prime Minister David Cameron -- who also talked with his Canadian counterpart Stephen Harper -- spoke Saturday to Obama.
"They reiterated that significant use of chemical weapons would merit a serious response from the international community and both have tasked officials to examine all the options," the spokesperson said.
The White House issued a statement on the same conversation, saying the two leaders agreed to "consult closely regarding this incident, as well as possible responses by the international community to the use of chemical weapons."
If the claims that Syria used chemical weapons prove true, a speedy response will be needed to prevent another such attack, U.S. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said.
Hagel's comments Friday came after a senior Defense Department official told CNN that military planners have updated Syrian target lists.
And it was disclosed that a fourth U.S. ship armed with cruise missiles has arrived in the eastern Mediterranean Sea.
Hagel addressed the issue aboard a military plane headed to Malaysia.
"We will determine at some point here very shortly what did happen," he said, according to a transcript posted on the Defense Department's website.
"If, in fact, this was a deliberate use and attack by the Syrian government on its own people using chemical weapons, there may be another attack coming," Hagel said. "A very quick assessment of what happened and whatever appropriate response should be made."
Hagel said the American military provided Obama "with options for all contingencies, and that requires positioning our forces, positioning our assets to be able to carry out different options, whatever options the president might choose."
He did not specify what those options might include.
Hagel predicted other nations would lend their support if the investigation finds that the Syrian government used chemical weapons against its people.
"This is an international community issue; it violates every standard of international behavior," he said. "That said, the United States has never given up its own sovereign right to protect its own interests."
The president has said he does not anticipate using ground forces in Syria. Other military options could include airstrikes by fighter jets or cruise missiles.
The Navy destroyer USS Ramage has arrived in the region, a defense official said late Friday. It was intended to replace the USS Mahan, but the Mahan will remain temporarily along with the USS Gravelly and USS Barry. All four are equipped with cruise missiles.
The president has authorized a limited amount of military hardware for the rebels in addition to logistical and humanitarian assistance.
A senior Defense Department official told CNN that options for direct military action include targeting al-Assad's capability to deliver chemical weapons.
Target lists could include government buildings and military installations, the official said, but the military must have flexible plans to target forces and equipment which "continue to move."
Sen. John McCain, R-Arizona, an advocate for a more forceful U.S. response to the Syrian conflict, has suggested that American air power could take out runways and planes used by al-Assad's forces that he said are "dominating the battlefields and the towns and the cities."
McCain also has advocated giving rebels anti-aircraft and anti-missile weapons to establish a no fly zone. But administration officials have cautioned that some Syrian rebel factions have ties to al Qaeda terrorists.
Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Martin Dempsey said this week in a letter to a member of Congress that arming rebels requires "choosing one among many sides."
"It is my belief that the side we choose must be ready to promote their interests and ours when the balance shifts in their favor," Dempsey wrote. "Today, they are not."
Also Saturday, a top U.N. official arrived in Damascus to press the government to cooperate in the investigation into its alleged use of chemical weapons.
Angela Kane, the United Nations high representative for disarmament affairs, has been instructed by U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon to push the government to cooperate with the U.N. team already on the ground.
U.N. inspectors want to reach the site of the alleged chemical weapons attack quickly in order to gather evidence while it is still fresh. Opposition leaders say the reported attack killed more than 1,300 people in a Damascus suburb.

Durham Police Authority has been given the green light to build new headquarters as part of a £15 million redevelopment project. The authority has received planning permission from Durham County Council to build a new 5,600 square metre base in Aykley Heads, which is expected to be up and running from spring 2014. As part of the plans, which will be mainly funded by the proceeds of the sale of the former headquarters, a total of 227 residential properties will be built on the site. Peter Thompson, Durham Police Authority chairman, revealed that the new building will be more efficient to run and is expected to save £750,000 per year. "These savings will help us maintain an effective policing service to the people of County Durham and Darlington," he said. "In relation to house building on the existing headquarters site, this will also give a welcome boost to the construction industry and local economy. We expect the sale of the land to be used to fund the new headquarters." Construction tendering specialist Glenigan has revealed that Bam, Miller, Kier, Graham and Henry Brothers are all vying to deliver the project.

Denny Hamlin will start from the pole position for Sunday's NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Auto Club Speedway outside Los Angeles after throwing down a lap of 187.451 mph in today's qualifying session.
Hamlin comes to Southern California after being involved in a post-race feud with former Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Joey Logano one week ago at Bristol Motor Speedway. He'll share the front row with Greg Biffle on Sunday, but only momentarily — "The Biff," as well as current championship leader Brad Keselowski (who had the third-fastest lap), will go to the rear of the field due to engine swaps before qualifying.
In addition to Hamlin's pole run, JGR had a good Friday afternoon overall with Kyle Busch and Matt Kenseth claiming Top 5 starting spots as well. Logano qualified sixth, followed by Martin Truex Jr., defending Auto Club 400 champion Tony Stewart, Mark Martin and Kurt Busch to fill the Top 10 starting positions.
Last week's winner at Bristol, Kasey Kahne, qualified 16th and is slated to start on the outside of Hendrick Motorsports teammate Dale Earnhardt Jr. in Row 8. As for Danica Patrick, she'll have to once again attempt to fight her way from the back after posting the 40th-quickest time.

I was once on the receiving end of a critique so savagely nasty, I marched straight out of class to the office and changed my major (sketchbook).
wow great skin tones Stoat
All's I did was up the contrast a little, so you can see the moderator rays better. Are we allowed to draw from the "What Does Everyone Look Like?" thread any more? I seem to remember it was frowned upon, but this poor thread is so dead and I'm very fond of it.

Goodness! This is a fantastic idea!! *goes off to find some pictures* *digs through past posts to find one to draw!*
Here are a couple photos of me if anyone would like to draw!
Maybe this should get turned into a new thread, I think it's a really great thread.

So I did one of Marlo. I wanted to do it in color, but for some reason in my PSE it was ... forced into grey?? I am not sure why, and would appreciate any helps to get it back to color. I was going over on her other photo with the eye dropper, and it was picking the color, but then when I would paint on my regular window it would only go in grey. I am soooo confused. New to PSE as well... So.. yeah, help would be awesome. lol.
Since I didn't get to do color. I did a quick black and white, it's not fully rendered, but I thought it looked really neat. I may go back through and try to render it some more. I am new to digi painting and thought this would be fun.
This is my first time digital painting. lol.
I do notice some things I need to change, I have made her face MUCH too wide. So I will have to go in and fix that when I work on it later!
Thought I'd try to be a lot less of a lurker this year - emphasis on "try" -
Here's maXmood:
This is my first painting. I am calling it done. lol. Hope it's alright!
I can't remember who this is, sorry
So I bought a cheap webcam and have been pulling faces at it. Yes, this is what I look like when reading your posts.
All artists are willing to suffer for their work. But why are so few prepared to learn to draw? - Banksy
haha black spot!! you are awesome! great faces! i need to get back into this thing too!!
Some Sketchbooks you should check out! --->

I really loved this thread and will try to draw a few of the beautiful faces from the last pages.
I couldn't find any decent mug shots of me. The only thing I could find were some picture from me in my self made costume for a medieval/folk-ish festival at which I volunteer every year.
And yes, I cut my boyfriend out of the picture . It is a pity because we have matching costumes haha

737 jet spotted in Hereford
9:41am Monday 25th February 2013 in News
PASSERS-by were left rubbing their eyes in surprise at the sight of what appeared to be a Boeing 737 making its way through Hereford yesterday.
This image and story was sent in by HT reader Emil - many thanks to other readers who sent in reports and comments on this.
Reader Keith L Morgan commented that the fuselage came from the Ross direction but had to go across the New Bridge around the roundabout and back across to get onto the Abergavenny Road as it was so big it could not take the left turn off the roundabout on the way in.
Meanwhile Charles Thompson posted a video - link below- on our Facebook page of the plane making its way through Belmont.
More details on this story to follow.

Playcounts are available for your top 500 most-played tracks, and timestamps for the track plays go back exactly 2 weeks.If you wanted to be really hardcore (and didn't care about timestamps), you could parse through your weekly charts for every single week and accumulate the track playcounts. But again, the weekly charts are limited to your top 500 most-played tracks, so assuming you never play more than 500 tracks per week you could theoretically get a complete set of playcount info with this method.

A small downside I saw with HTDA is: I watched the wk1 broadcast with utter amazement. The next week I saw the show at Coachella. When I saw it on tv, you were essentially center stage and like the triangle part of the show, she was in the middle and it really worked. At the live show i was somewhat off to the side and the show wasn't quite as spectacular. It's like that at a lot of visual shows so really no big difference i guess .. cr****
Coachella Wk2 04/19-04/21
Wakarusa 05/30-06/02

VooDoo 11/01-11/03
Coachella WK1 04/11-04/13 ---- 2014
HTDA is definitely a band where you need to actually be able to see the stage from a decent perspective, the sound was crisp at The Fox, but it was so crowded, I know I would rather see that show in assigned seating.
Eric Avery will not be joining NIN on their upcoming tour.
Trent Reznor
I / we get it and love you, Eric. While we're sure going to miss having you along for this adventure I personally cannot wait to hear more great stuff from you...
Eric Avery
its with very mixed emotions i tell you all that im pulling out of NIN. i know. its been a tough call and i don't know if its the right one. but i really want to focus on my musical life here in la, on film work in particular. as the tour dates kept growing… i just got overwhelmed. i just got home from a year of heavy travel with garbage, the idea of leaving town for another year and a half, and with all the intensity that nails demands… fortunately my friend Trent understands all this and appreciated my pulling the plug now instead of deep into 2013 and 14. go get em gentlemen.
Please check out my blog Sleeping is Giving In for some great mixes and other good things!
The good news is it sounds like they are going to do some very heavy touring. Not just some festivals and a handful of dates.
I think they said that from the get go that there would be an arena tour to follow.
Please check out my blog Sleeping is Giving In for some great mixes and other good things!
I know Eric Avery can slappadabass, but when I saw NIN/JA in Phoenix I saw him deliberately hock a huge loogie at some fan. I don't know what the fan did to deserve it, but it was fucking disgusting and repulsive. Haven't liked him since.
Have they said anything about tying this tour to the 20th anniversary of the Downward Spiral?
Robin Finck has returned to join NIN
I am proud to announce that the tour lineup now includes the incredible Robin Finck. The addition of Robin to the mix of players I've assembled makes this band incredibly powerful and versatile. We are deep in the rehearsal process and it feels exciting and great to be back at this. Lots of information, surprises and sweat headed your way. Stay tuned!
