Lol,what? How could getting Fukudome be a step in getting Kuroda?
step 1: trade for Fukudome
Step2: kidnap Kuroda's family so he has to go along with everything we say.
Step 3. Switch Kuroda and Fukudome
Step 4: tell the world we have made Fukudome into a pitcher. It will work because all Asians look the same.

History and information about Kooks Headers and their products.
Kooks Headers. Since 1962, Kooks has had the reputation of making the highest quality & best performing Custom Stainless Steel headers and exhaust systems. All Kooks Exhausts and Headers are handcrafted here in the USA! Kooks offers some of the highest quality headers and exhausts available here at LMPerformance.com.
Kooks Headers and Exhaust offers production applications for many late model domestic automobiles. This means that you can get that custom header for your early or late model application for a fraction of the cost. There is no other header company in the country that can offer you a header for your gas engine truck, while still building handmade custom race headers that are used in applications making over 3,000 horsepower. KOOK's pride itself on being the pioneers in the stainless steel header revolution and have become the innovators in the exhaust industry as a whole. Kooks designs, tests, and manufacturers their products here in the USA.
You probably cannot imagine a business starting from something as simple as a gas torch but that is exactly what happened when George Kook decided he wanted to build headers for his race car and he, being the avid racer he was, e had a presence in the local drag racing community and thus was the start of it all and KOOKS continues to have an inimitable presence in today's racing community, regardless of the kind of racing. Helping racers win in everything from NHRA to NASA was a goal for KOOK HEADERS AND EXHAUST and they have stayed true to that goal and have been instrumental in the winning of countless races in a variety of venues. A simple start did not deter a company like KOOKS because they were up to the challenge such a competitive industry has presented by always adhering to their primary goal of making a primo product that their customers could trust to improve their car's performance provided by a company that could be trusted. KOOKS HEADERS AND EXHAUST is unique in its ability to design and produce headers for something like trucks and then one of a kind headers for racing situations with their demand for tremendous horsepower and each and every one is given the same consideration when it comes to excellence of product since KOOKS knows each and every customer deserves the best. The SANS PARIEL quality of products like the long tube headers for your Cadillac CTS-V, Pontiac Firebird, Pontiac GTO, and GMC truck and available on the LMPERFORMANCE web site is undisputed with their custom design and primo quality stainless steel construction. And for off-road use in your GM series pick-up truck and SUVs and Cadillac Escalade KOOKS makes another superlative product and available on the LMPERFORAMNCE web site, the OFF-ROAD Y PIPE with their OEM outlet that can be used with stock exhaust but must be used with KOOKS HEADERS. If you want the improved performance that comes with the KOOKS yet still want to be street legal then consider the Kooks GREEN Catted Y-Pipe for your Pontiac Firebird and Chevy Camaro and available on the LMPERFORMANCE web site. Since its inception KOOKS has been a family owned and run business whose manufacturing facility in North Carolina designs and fabricates their inimitable products on site, and they are the only company who offers high performance exhaust systems that are environmentally friendly. With recommendations like that you can be confident you are getting a product that is superlative from a name you can trust and you can get it at a competitive price on the LMPERFORAMANCE web site.

The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.
Shipping Weight:?0.38 lbsShipping WeightThe Shipping Weight includes the product, protective packaging material and the actual shipping box. In addition, the Shipping Weight may be adjusted for the Dimensional Weight (e.g. length, width & height) of a package. It is important to note that certain types of products (e.g. glass containers, liquids, fragile, refrigerated or ice packed) will often require protective packaging material. As such, these products will reflect a higher Shipping Weight compared to the unprotected product.

Design on a Dime: The Blade Advantage
Senior IT pros tend to be risk-averse creatures, and for good reason. A gunslinging CIO risks making a bad decision that could cost the business millions (or more). Conversely, though, resisting change and delaying critical decisions can be equally dangerous. When it comes to pulling the trigger on blades, many technology managers find themselves at a crossroads, where each fork has compelling advantages and disadvantages.
There's an analogy between blades and server virtualization. With both techs, you're piling lots of eggs in one basket, which adds risk in the absence of a rock-solid high-availability plan. To make matters worse for the timid, unleashing the true potential of today's blades requires largescale virtualization on the chassis, which effectively multiplies the number of server eggs in each blade chassis basket. There's also the risk of vendor lock-in. Blade chassis typically last two server lifetimes -- we're expecting six to 10 years -- and accept server modules from a single vendor only, so you're making a larger and longer commitment.
Blades will fundamentally alter your data center's plumbing, but if you can get past the queasy feeling of letting your pizza-box servers go, the benefits are numerous. In many ways, investing in blades is like buying a big, open house that you can divide and add on to in a modular fashion. In the rack-mount world, the walls in your house are well defined and not as easily changed. (S3180711)

Rising Spending, Stagnant Strategies
With all the business reliance on technology today, IT budgets should be a priority. That, and the implication that they're not, was the battle cry of some of some of the respondents to our 2013 IT budgeting research of 351 business technology professionals.
But it's not just about business leaders failing to comprehend that IT is the lifeblood of business innovation. It's complicated. And the massive changes, not only in the business environment (Great Recession, anyone) but the consumerization (also known as commoditization) of items that were sacred cows for IT has led some to think that centralized IT is dead. So why pay attention to IT's budget if it's just going to be all moved out into lines of business?
Yet those are just the newest, most negative forces affecting business technology at organizations. Other, strong forces are still at play, to include the old chestnut of security and the fresh-faced new kid, analytics and big data. And if central IT has detractors, it also has its champions among CEOs and other business leaders who understand the value of economies of scale and the value of technology ownership versus rental. Will things snap back to the way they used to be? Certainly not. But those who look only at a limited set of the new influences on business technology are likely just as wrong in their forecasts as those who insist upon looking at the old-school set of influences on business technology.
Those who succeed at this business technology game of chaos and control have one thing in common: a relentless drive to create business productivity, cut business costs and even create revenue with IT innovation. These are things that smart CEOs want to resource. While IT organizations that are in resourcing survival mode do manage to cut costs and innovate, it would seem obvious that those that are not scrambling to survive might create more innovation. Put another way, do you want your IT leadership strategizing where they're going to get the money to proactive replace equipment before it runs to failure? Or do you want your IT leadership thinking about how they're going to produce results to delight those who have provided sufficient resources to run a truly great operation?
It's not all about business leadership, of course. IT owns some of the resourcing equation. Whether this means IT produces comparative performance metrics about resourcing and budgeting, or whether it means that instead of putting a lot of energy into resisting trends like CMO participation in social media technology or consumerization, IT leaders who focus on helping and creating fantastic business results will succeed despite budgeting challenges and may find that budgeting roadblocks get removed as the IT organization becomes higher performing with the resources it has. (R5571012)
Survey Name InformationWeek 2013 IT Budget Survey

Number of Respondents 351
Purpose To determine practices, perceptions and procedures surrounding IT budgeting in enterprise environments.

My path to Jagex was not the usual one: All my previous work experience was in sectors far away from game development. I have worked in database management, I have been a scientific officer for the Food Standards Agency, and I have worked on the editorial staff of luxury printing firm Gloria Books. After all that I decided that I wanted to go back to university, and from there Jagex opened their doors to me.
I first played RuneScape a long time ago – long before Tutorial Island went away – and was familiar with Jagex by name if not in great detail. Some years after that, I was towards the end of studying a Computer Science and Business degree at the University of Bath when our recruiting party came raidin' the Careers Fair. I was then, as I am now, an avid player and designer of games, and after a short chat we were both of the opinion that I should pass on a CV and see about an interview.
I work in the RuneScape department as a Content Developer, designing and building the quests, puzzles, stories and mechanics our gamers appreciate so much; I joined just under two years ago. It's my duty and privilege to see a project through from its inception as a core aim from Mod Mark and his design team to and beyond its release into the game proper, shaping it and tweaking it as it develops.
I'll spend the majority of my day either designing or building the content for whatever project I'm working on right now, be it a mostly technical project like the Task System or a creative project like the Void Knights series. Writing, designing, prototyping, implementing and testing my ideas, with the constant support I enjoy from the Graphics team, QA and others in my own team, takes up most of my time.
Since I also have a mentee I'm on hand for any questions he may have; I field questions that arise about content I curate (Fishing, Tasks, and so forth, where I'm expected to be a confident authority) and I meet with senior designers, graphics or QA to discuss the work in progress. I was also involved in the last RuneFest (visitors may recall the wandering penguins and trivia hunt) and will be doing so again this time round – this year's going to be even better than the last.
If I have time I like to get into the live game on my Mod account and troll Mod Mark in his friends chat.
I'm an entertainer at heart, but I'm a designer at brain. I've no artistic talent (my drawing skills are particularly vile), and so the fact that I can put my abilities to use giving people the opportunity to have fun is a perfect fit. Not many companies have the hybrid of programmer and designer to the extent that Jagex does, and that difference has worked out particularly well for me.
Much as I'm tempted to say the free fruit (this peach is tasty) it's the bike repair service that keeps my ailing old machine on the road, so it's got to be them.
My first project was a quest, and series of followup capers, called Buyers and Cellars. On the day of release it would be fair to say I was nervous: This content was going out with my name on it, and the next several hours would be the first test of what my skills can do for our players.
The feeling when I jumped into the game on my Mod account and saw people playing it, asked people what they thought, watched as puzzles and characters and places that had been just notions in my head became entertainment for tens of thousands of players... that let me know I'd found the right industry to be working in.
It's hardly rare in the news (at least, the sort of news game developers read) to read of this company or that treating their employees like faceless, replaceable cogs to be used up and discarded.
Jagex, I'm pleased to say, treats its employees like people, from the stream level through team and department to the top. From the very human perks and benefits, to the jollies, to the simple courtesy that is the norm in our interactions with each other on the level and up the management line, I'm never made to feel like a production-line robot.
Play games! Play them critically, analysing their every facet; play them with nothing in mind but the experience. Play them with friends, play them alone, think up your own games, write down ideas that occur to you at two in the morning and look at them in the morning wondering what that scrawl could possibly mean. I won't say that programming knowledge isn't important – it is – but it's easier by far to teach programming skills than to instill that sense of critical thought, that base experience of what makes fun fun, and that exploration of the realm of possibilities that games can represent.
So keep playing games!

Rolling With the Changes
As you develop mobility policies, your ultimate goal should be the certainty that any data contained within a device, or any connectivity profiles—VPN or Wi-Fi—that provide access to corporate networks, is completely secure, even if the smartphone or tablet is lost or stolen. Can you look into an auditor's eyes and say that with confidence?
Because the trend is toward personally owned devices, if an MDM system can't differentiate between enterprise data and the owner's data, don't buy it. But this is just one in a long set of important, and nice to have, features. In general, candidate MDM platforms should support iOS and Android, with management links to RIM's BES a big plus. It should be able to differentiate security capabilities by OS type, because not all operating systems are created equal. It should normalize controls regardless of platform, so IT doesn't have to know the gory details. It should consume user-role data from centralized directory services so that changes that are fed from the central directory—including termination—affect the profile experience on the end device. Self-service functions, such as provisioning and bringing a device back into compliance after missteps like loading an app considered risky, help reduce the help desk load. In this report, we'll examine trends in mobile device management and security and delve into policy development. (R3321111)
Survey Name: InformationWeek Mobile Device Management and Security Survey
Survey Date: August 2011
Region: North America
Number of Respondents: 323 respondents from companies with 50-plus employees involved with determining mobile/wireless strategy or evaluating, recommending or purchasing mobile devices.
Purpose: This survey strives to gauge respondents' secure use of mobile computing technologies such as smartphones and tablets and the importance of the supporting security structure. By polling for trends in the overall use of mobile devices as well as the applications in use by respondents' organizations and their relative significance, it becomes clear which are the most mission-critical and would cause greatest disruption should they become unavailable. We also delve into the policy components governing the use of mobile technologies. Our aim is to determine the importance of mobile data protection to organizations, as well as whether mobile data policies are in place. On the tactical end, we asked about the most popular security controls being used, as well as centralized mobile device management systems and the rationale for seriously considering their use as a security control to enforce organizational mobile security policy.

Salaries Stagnant For Network, Data Center IT
Median base salaries for networking and data center IT pros remained essentially flat from 2012 to 2013. Base salaries for data center managers and data center staff rose a median of 1.6% and 1.3%, respectively, according to the InformationWeek 2013 U.S. IT Salary Survey. IT pros in the networking field didn't fare much better. Management saw salaries increase 1.3%, while staff saw a rise of 1.2%. Our data comes from 1,137 networking and data center management professionals that we surveyed from November 2012 to January of this year.
Those are the percentages. What about dollar figures? For data center professionals, median base salary is $85,000 for staff and $100,000 for managers. Networkers make less: $80,000 for staff and $95,000 for management. (R6460413-NW)
Survey Name 2013 InformationWeek U.S. IT Salary Survey: Networking and Data Center Management
Survey Date January 2013

Number of Respondents 1,137 networking and data center management professionals, composed of 672 staff and 465 managers
Purpose To track IT salary and compensation trends from the perspective of those on the front lines, InformationWeek conducts an annual U.S. IT Salary Survey. Now in its 16th year, it's the largest employee-based IT salary survey in the country. Last year 13,880 full-time IT professionals completed the Web-based survey. This year 14,074 took part. The goal of this trendable study is to measure various aspects of compensation, benefits and job satisfaction. This report focuses on the 1,137 networking and data center management professionals who participated in the survey.

Thanks for thread A.B. Your Tide certainly had hands full of Bulldog, but now gets to take on The Luck of the Irish.
Ran across this nice 4:48 tribute to Reagan:
"Public officials should not be chosen
if they are lacking in experience, training,
proven virtue, and demonstrated wisdom. "
Sam Adams
Hey, if she can go on all five and get away with lying to the nation—where four Americans were murdered by Al Qaeda; not a mob of Muslims ignited to rage over a slander of their religion—surely Tim should have a shot at a couple of whoppers, too.
Given that we witnessed her lying... Let us be ready for Tim's. See how many you can find!
Morning AB, All.
Love your graphic AB. As always, thank you AB for doing this thread. Won't be back except much later today as it is my church's ten year anniversary and I am hip deep in the festivities.
Not that I mind but I'm nervous, and a bit excited.
First, I was on the 10 year planning committee. I did a lot of work on it too, majorly serving as secretary, taking the little puter to meetings, typing the meeting minutes, later proofing and sending out. Last eight months been involved in this.
Second, come to find out that since I am on the Finance Council (indeed, though I am no Kabar, I was an accountant for 30 years or so, have served on the church Finance council off and on over the past ten years, so church hires new business manager they call me back, wise move. I know my stuff)....Finance Council members will be serving as "greeters" in the Parish Life Center...which includes me.
Pastor spending $5,000 just on whores de ovaries, TV screens around PLC showing history of church, big plans....and...THE BISHOP IS COMING!
So here I am serving as a Guide, also working on committee and expected to help out in that regard.
Than choir director announces since Bishop is coming big day for choir. At that point we have practice two nights a week, singing BIG BIG songs...we even have a trumpet playing with us to "Joyful, Joyful We Adore Thee"...also snare drum, xylophone. Also band is playing.
Choir director then , heh, assigns a solo to the altos in the choir. Welp, there's really only two altos that sing with any kind of loudness, one of which is me.
The other is a beautiful singer who reaches all kind of high notes that I can only aspire to.
But while I might not be a soloist singer, I am a very good choir singer. My range might only be three notes but I sing those three notes very well.
So this song the choir director has the altos leading off with....once again this is de facto TWO people...is right in my three note range. The other alto singer with the beautiful voice, well you don't think I was daunted now did you?
Last Thursday we practice. Soprano comes up....made my day..."You altos sound so pretty in that solo part. Your voices just meld so well, you sound like angels."
And so we do. Cause I recorded one of our practice sessions, even played for my husband and daughter, and you know what....WE SOUND GREAT!
The lady with the beautiful voice....that voice is held up and supported by my own tenor type of tone and hey, I thought it sounded good. Made my day when another choir member put it so well.
But I'm a bit nervous, folks, could hardly sleep. Had my hair colored and highlighted, must wear black skirt and white blouse, bought new.
Wish me luck and maybe later today I'll be back.
How can Timmy defend what his boss has proposed? I can't bring myself to watch. The hell with it.
I think the biggest flip of the finger from Obama/Gerthner et al, is that removal of congressional approval re the debt ceiling.
That is so gob-smacking ALL of congress, and the American people. The pubs ought to walk out and make the Democrats vote on it.
But don't mind me cause I'm still reeling from the election. Now, just cause MY sensibilities are offended by an administration that wants to take over the world, I have learned that the majority, maybe not a big majority but enough to win an election, don't think at all like I do. In fact, I doubt that the audacity of asking for congress to give up its power of the purse strings even registered on the minds of the "majority" of this country.
Been reading and listening all week to various pundits and talk radio hosts about what the pubs should do and by me, absolutely NOBODY has the answer.
Well I'll tell you what to do.....CHANGE WHAT YOU'RE DOING!
A new party has to be established, the Tea Party. Take your time, get used to the idea. Cause those Blue Bloods elected GOP are simply not up to the task, they've proven it time and again with bad candidates and by accepting the Democrat talking points.
That's what to do.....
....maybe more later.
Im on all week, EVERY week! Try the veal!
Thanks for thread A.B. Your Tide certainly had hands full of Bulldog, but now gets to take on The Luck of the Irish.
What a line up!
I feel a thrill running down my leg.
That was some coffee I spilled in my lap, instead.
How can Timmy defend what his boss has proposed? I cant bring myself to watch. The hell with it.
The lies don't even have to be elegant, coherent or without self-contradiction. Instead, its the old KBG playbook. The more told, the less likely they'll be defrocked.
Quantity, Boris, quantity.
A new party has to be established, the Tea Party. Take your time, get used to the idea. Cause those Blue Bloods elected GOP are simply not up to the task, theyve proven it time and again with bad candidates and by accepting the Democrat talking points.
Thats what to do.....
Ugh. I'm 63—and if I were 36 I'd probably be too old.
Drag it kicking and screaming to the Right. Now our county is getting my posts once a week and am educating them on what Conservatism is.
The establishment is not happy.
Pray for America
Good question, how the Tea Party will rise.
IF it should rise.
First, I'd sit back and see what the current crop of pubs do. I dunno, maybe they'll surprise us, maybe they'll grow a backbone or suddenly fight for the country their children and grandchildren will inherit.
With each failure on the part of the Blue Bloods, if it comes to that, the need for a Tea Party will become apparent. Now don't go telling me a third party will reduce GOP influence. As if it isn't bad already. They gave us Dole, McCain, HW Bush, and Dubya....who never bothered to defend himself-causing more damange than most anything.
We need a leader, of course, and as of now I see only two people possibly filling the spot....Limbaugh or Levin.
Oh the new Tea Party won't have much power but we'll know that going in. we're already outnumbered by Dems and the Blue Blood GOP will drift more to where they've been drifting for yea many years....to the left.
But at least us Tea Party types, who carry this country on our back, will HAVE A VOICE IN THINGS.
It's what I think will happen if the elected GOP fails at the task assigned them.
I wish them well.
When a Republican is interviewed, the shows almost always start with a video clip of a Democrat criticizing the R in some pertinent way. Just a 'fair and balance' thing! Russert was a master and all have taken to the ploy.
I wonder how many of today's five interviews of Timmy will air the McConnell's guffaw? All of them, some of them, or was it a condition of having his appearance that the guffaw be "off the table."
That's because Congress has become the domain of the evil white Republican that can, according to community organizer Alinskyism, be simply ignored as reactionary forces to the ultimately prevailing revolution.
The Constitution doesn't matter, as long as the Supreme Court decides it doesn't, like this past Summer over Obamacare.
I'm convinced that the Republic is dead. All hail the glorious people's revolution!
Wallace counters Geithner and says the 'winding down the war' spending is a budget gimmick.
Geithner claims it is real.
Wallace implies that the Obama Admin would then need more wars to have that amount to apply to the budget.
"A lie repeated a thousand times becomes truth"
—Hitler, in Mein Kampf
Timmy said they have lots of budget cut. They're counting the money they're cutting by winding down 2 wars ... Chris Wallace was shocked!
All hail the glorious peoples revolution!
Yes, we are there. I well remember the years when Americans were inconvenienced by industrial workers' strikes. As a lover of language I noticed what was said, and then reported about the positions and demands of both sides in the negotiations.
Summary: the workers asked for the moon, knowing that they would advance as far as they could intimidate the 'suits' into accepting.
This is exactly what Geithner, Obama, Jarrett and the other Red Diaper Doper babies in office today are doing.
There is NO way that Republicans can ever win the approval of the media and the general public, so they have to face this fact. The suits in long gone industries never had the support of the media and the public - they were the RICH!!!
What happened, though: the entire workforce lost their nice incomes in the quest for ever more.
I see our country in the same position as, for example, the steel industry of the 1980s.
Scary and extremely depressing.
Saw Geithner on FNS, I could feel my blood pressure rising just watching the smarmy little weasel.
Boner now up with Wallace denying Geithner's positions talking about RATs taking us "over the cliff".
Boehner says the Admin would spend all the money if they got it.
Wallace, almost incredulous, 'they wouldn't pay down the debt with it?'
Boehner laughs, 'no they wouldn't.'
Wallace starts a list of what will and won't be cut.
[typical of setup for a 'gotcha']
Boehner doesn't take the bait, says he won't debate specifics with Wallace unless/until Wallace has authority to sign any budget deal.
WOw - hope your big day goes smoothly. I'm sure you will look beautiful and sound like angels! Blessings to you and your congregation today!!
On the other hand, I am dumbfounded by Obie's audacity with a request for unlimited debt limits. It's so over-the-top, R's are forced to say no.
So, which game are we playing with our country's well being ?
Sorry folks, but Boner sounds as smarmy as Geitner.
I am SO sick of politics right now and all the wrangling, whining, backstabbing, never-ending campaigning, crooks running government, etc. that I do not have the stomach to watch any of them on TV these days. I've been watching a lot of Christmas movies every evening (Hallmark, etc.). It's 'escapism' ... but necessary for my psyche. Thanks for the thread - at least I can find out what the current version of the latest lies happens to be without having to actually watch them utter the words.
You make it happen by continuing to get more TEApublicans elected until they take over leadership within the House and Senate Republican Cockeye.
This could happen in the next election. IF TEA-activists and candidates "git-er-done"
Meanwhile over on mtp dnc dave is apoplectic in getting our side to admit that we ware willing to bend over and raise tax rates and break our no tax pledge. Its a if dnc Dave is Hitler and is demanding that we raise taxes even though it wont help.DNC dave is desperate to get us to admit that ozero is a legitimate potus and he should demand respect. Never gonna happen.
DNC Dave phrases every argument that its always our fault for not raising taxes,never a word about cutting spending.
Let it bleed!
Excellent job, keep up the good work sir.
Take a look at what they DID. They've now been in there for a while, the TEApublicans were mostly freshman, and the others have a longer track record.
Any of them can be taken out in two years. It's time to get ready for the next mid-terms.
Fox news panel. All should roll over for Obama. The press still covers his butt left or right.
Grover Norquist must go.
In other words, if Obama takes us over the fiscal cliff, Bohner and the house GOP's aren't going to give Obama money for some very serious spending programs like Obamacare.
I think the GOP need to not fund that mess anyways.
What exactly is the difference between the Commurats and the GOP? I forgot.
They twist and turn everything.
Maria,"money honey--cnbc" brings up how bout some spending cuts? Dividend taxes the biggest threat,401's etc pensions,it removes incentives,she's great.
so it will be with Republicans who sign on to this idiocy.
You answered your own question. The Rs will be the bad guys no matter what results from these so-called "negotiations."
I PRAY that they will not forget GHWB's words and how they were used as a cudgel against him forevermore. If they keep his experience in mind it just may give them enough spine to keep saying no to Obama and his friends.
Truly good! Doesn't get much better!
Zero as a bank robber!!
Wow! Good for Grover!
The RATs are 100% wild-eyed, baby-killing, green-weenie, P/M union-thug whackjobs.
The GOP are about 40%
Norquist "we need tv cameras on the hearings",bring in c-spam.They don't want to hear that.
If Norquist is dirty he's slicker than obozo.
And Kristol doesn't understand that raising the rates will split the GOP possibly causing the emergence of a third party. That is the real reason Obama is pushing this.
The sad part is that there will be no real reduction in spending. If we can't reduce spending by $100 billion a year in a $3.7 trillion annual budget, then both parties are not serious about the financial extremis this country is in. We are in dire straits and all these people want to do is rearrange the deck chairs on the Titanic.

The Digital Skeptic: Social Media in Cleopatra Phase, Queen of Denial
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Social media has entered its "Cleopatra" phase -- that is, it's the new Queen of Denial.
Last week, the social media tale took a bizarre turn. Information services giant IBM (IBM) released a report on next-generation commerce called the Black Friday Report 2012 .
Overall, life appears to be good on the digital frontier: Consumers spent roughly 20% more this Black Friday week than last, 24% of them used mobile devices. And the iPad became a retail sales portal.
But buried inside was a remarkable factoid: While overall social sentiment was positive -- chatter on Facebook (FB) and Twitter was optimistic -- direct social shopper referrals dropped steeply.
"Shoppers referred from social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn (LNKD) and YouTube generated 0.34% of all online sales on Black Friday," the intro to the IBM report said, "a decrease of more than 35% from 2011."
And Twitter referrals -- not sales, but the actual inbound clicks from Twitter -- dropped from 0.02% last year to 0.00%. That's no typo. That's a zero -- almost incomprehensible for a service with roughly 500 million users.
Not surprisingly, the IBM report set off a social media food fight.
"Considering the massive flood of tweets, Facebook likes, and Bit.ly clicks that all of us at DataSift saw ," wrote Rob Bailey , chief executive of this U.K.-based social media data mining firm, "I was surprised by IBM's findings and think they may have given marketers the very wrong impression that social traffic wasn't important for retailers."
Twitter itself seemed to question IBM's results. Shane Steele, Twitter's director of sales and marketing, made a point of not commenting on the study to DestinationCRM.com, the New York-based industry market news service that covered the report.
Steele said IBM did not reveal enough details on its methodology.
So are investors looking at a social sales armageddon?
To find out, let's pop open the hood on this baby and see what IBM has going on.
Looking at the reports
It's no knock to say reports such as this are usually all about marketing. And sure enough this report pushes something called the IBM Digital Analytics Benchmark tool -- IBM's "Big Data" analysis service. In fact there is a link at the end of the report for the product, which the company says "measures every interaction on every participating site, capturing comprehensive customer and user behavioral data."
In other words, it's just counting what it sees: page views, sales, paid search sessions, marketing sessions, direct load sessions, all that stuff. And more, actually. From this show-all-the-data perspective, the report makes real -- and sobering -- sense.
In terms of good news, the overall sales seen on Page 6 render a dead-on accurate picture of holiday turnover: A solid shopping day on Thursday. A record spike on Black Friday. Some categories grew well. Department stores and home goods categories had a healthy 60% and 15% jumps in order value, respectively.

Brooks® apparel is crafted for the rigors of your run. Airy, sweat-wicking fabric keeps you feeling light on the move. Prep for your morning run with all the essentials-like running T-shirts, tanks and shorts. Shop the whole collection for colors and styles that match your personality.

It's the details that make the difference on your run. Brooks&Reg; running accessories help you work towards your new personal best. For example, running stocks woven with strategic padding add an extra layer of cushion and shock absorption to your run.
Consider the pronation of your foot, and choose from motion-control, neutral and stability shoes. Pronation is your foot's natural inward roll after a heel strike. Basic pronation, or neutral pronation, helps your body absorb impact to relieve pressure on your joints for a biomechanically efficient run.
Overpronation is an exaggerated form of this inward roll. Runners with this trait require Brooks® stability or motion control shoes, which are built to help correct overpronation.
Underpronation is the outward roll of the foot upon heel strike. This trait results in inadequate shock absorption on landing. Runners with underpronation should choose a shoe with optimal cushioning and flex along the outsole.
Moisture-wicking technology is a must for your running apparel. Garments with this technology are woven with specialized microfibers, which lift sweat from skin and transfer it to the surface of the fabric, where it quickly evaporates. Many running shoes are designed with sock liners that wick away moisture.

Not necessarily knocking Tress JB. But minimizing what he did. You said, good recruiter, or whatever. I think he was great at it. End of day I think Lee got it right. I think what e0y2e3 said is dead nuts on and that's beyond the credit you're willing or able to give the guy. And I think now that hes gone it's easy to do exactly what you did.
And that drives me nuts. Not about you specifically, about everyone willing and able to do it.
My contention with your point begins when you ascribe motive that springs from an overall philosophy you have. Approach it like J Coz, as a sports discussion, and we're just guys that disagree on the metrics that measure talent or recruiting success.
Tress was not a hack. He was good at his profession. He was great at YSU, good or very good at tOSU.
But to make the suggestion that we're all open jawed at what Meyer has done in his limited time is a societal reflection of sorts is just plain goofy, dude. I'll plant my flag on that point.

Hanukkah may be a time to celebrate light and miracles, but it's also a season rife with hazards around the home for your pets. If you are celebrating the Jewish holiday this year, there are several things to look out for to ensure both you and your pets have a happy and healthy Hanukkah.
Nothing puts a damper on the merriment like dog or cat emergencies, so it may be helpful to remember the three F's when it comes to keeping your pet safe this Hanukkah - food, fire and festivities.
Food is one of the best parts of Hanukkah - from potato latkes and doughnuts to lamb and chocolate coins called "gelt." As much as you enjoy this menu, make sure you do not share it with your pets. Onions and garlic are commonly used to make latkes, and these foods are toxic to dogs and cats. Feeding any leftovers to your pets can make them sick because Hanukkah foods tend to be high in fat. If you are enjoying gelt this holiday, make sure you keep these treats in a place where your pets can't get into them, since chocolate is poisonous to dogs. Grapes, raisins, coffee, alcohol and cooked bones are other foods you should keep far away from your pets.
When eaten in large quantities, these foods may cause toxicity that needs the attention of a veterinarian, but even in small amounts, most of them will cause cat and dog vomiting and diarrhea.
The other hazard that comes with Hanukkah is the very thing we celebrate - light. Menorahs are a Hanukkah staple, but ensure that any open flames are far out of your cat or dog's reach. Curious cats may jump up on the table and the wag of a dog's tail can knock over the candles, so it's a good idea to never leave your menorah (or any other candles) unattended if you have cats and dogs around. If you're worried about the fire hazard, you might want to consider getting an electric menorah this year.
Games, parties and gifts are also crucial elements of Hanukkah. If your family is playing dreidel, make sure the pieces are not so small that pets might snatch one and choke on it. If you are inviting guests over, tell them the rules about feeding your pets.
When opening gifts, paper and bags might be okay to let your cat play with for a while, but make sure you pick up ribbons right away. Strings can be tempting for cats, but if swallowed they can cause obstructions in the organs and lead to a visit to the veterinary hospital.

A Summer Six-Pack for Beer Haters
That shouldn't automatically translate to "Please throw me out of your event" or "Nice spread, mouth breather." If that person isn't a complete teetotaler, they just might be the 34.3% of Americans who prefer mixed drinks or straight spirits or the 16.9% who prefer wine, according to the Distilled Spirits Council.
That puts you in a bit of an awkward position. Sure, you could whip up a pitcher of sangria, crank out a few margaritas or raid the racks for an expendable bottle of riesling, but why should you? None of those options have beer's portability and size and just about all of them are going to be far more labor intensive than just cracking open a can or popping the top off a bottle.
Besides, there are alternatives in your beer aisle or bottle shop that will mingle nicely with you summer variety packs. Big brewers such as Anheuser-Busch InBev
In short, brewers want non-beer drinkers, too, and aren't afraid to take some chances to reel them in. They face a crowded and unfamiliar cooler space in doing so, however, and butt up against companies that have been taking care of the folks beer left behind for a good, long time.
In the interest of opening America's coolers to everyone and making summer parties safe for the masses, we offer a summer six-pack of non-beer brews that should fit in anywhere you'd normally reserve for you bottles or tallboy cans of choice:

The country of Bhutan plans to be completely Organic by 2020.
Organic farming is fast gaining popularity in the picturesque valley of Bumthang. Organic farming was introduced in 2008 with the formation of a farmers association in Choekhor Geog. The association had only five members. Now the number has swelled to 50.
Farmers grow vegetables like spinach, potato, onion, garlic, cabbage and coriander. These vegetables are in high demand among hoteliers, office goers and the business people.
Tshering Lhaden, a farmer in Chhoekhor Geog, said "there is no dearth of buyers. Hoteliers and civil servants rush to buy them soon as we bring them to the market."
Encouraged by the success, more and more farmers are taking up organic farming. One of the most recent farmers to take up organic farming is Ap Chechey.
"I saw my friends making good money by selling organic produce. Hoteliers who cater to tourists and civil servants prefer organic produce. So I decided to go organic," said Ap Chechey.
The officiating district agriculture officer believes that "in a few years time, Bumthang will be one of the leading dzongkhags in organic farming with more and more farmers taking interest in organic farming."
The local market is only going to grow with the construction of Mangdechu Hydropower Project in Trongsa scheduled to begin by the end of this year.
How I became the smallest farmer in the Midwest
A Chicago gardener discovers that the 'mistakes' in his vegetable garden are easily sold at a neighborhood market, making him arguably the smallest farmer in the Midwest.
Gardeners are widely known as generous folks, eagerly giving away home-grown flowers and food to anyone who asks. The late-summer surfeit of produce often forces us to be extra-generous.
But this year, I took the exchange a step further. This year, I sold a good part of my harvest, making me arguably the smallest farmer in Midwest.
Unexpected harvests
Like any less-than-expert gardener, my vegetable patch generally turns out about 50 percent different than I planned.
This year, for instance, I wanted to try companion planting, so I sowed zinnias with my baby broccoli. An early heat wave murdered the broccoli, leaving the flowers to take over an entire bed. I now have enough to cover a Rose Bowl float.
The same mad, Murphy-esque method left me with an enormous sage plant but no potatoes to season with the herb; hundreds of grape tomatoes but only a handful of slicing ones; and an equal number of delicious but pea-sized heirloom cucumbers.
You could say I specialize in hard-to-eat crops.
Found: a solution
To buy all the ingredients I had failed to grow, I headed to a storefront grocery in my Chicago neighborhood, a friendly shop called Open Produce. It's a small operation run by young people that stocks a little bit of everything, including lots of local produce.
One day, bummed out by my inability to grow anything approaching a staple, I propositioned the store manager: "Would you like some flowers? For the store, I mean?" Darned if the answer wasn't yes, with $5 of store credit as my reward.
Emboldened, I offered again and again. "Would you like some sage? Tomatoes?" I got only a few bucks per sale, but it felt like big sums because I had converted my produce into a few dollars.
Moreover, to learn that someone would buy my mistakes made me wonder what other oddly desirable things I could grow. Super-hot peppers? Decorative gourds? Pink peppercorns?
The booming interest in heirloom edibles has meant that seed houses are selling some truly obscure quasi-useful varieties that became rare for a reason. Invariably, they end up in my small plot.
I just planted marshmallow and licorice. Place your orders now.
Why We Should Label Genetically Engineered Food
I've recently been activated on the genetically engineered food, or GMO, issue: If nothing is done, any crop or animal with significant market volume will be genetically engineered within the next 10 to 20 years, and consumers won't know. The main arguments for labeling are:
1) American consumers have a right to know and judge for themselves what they put in their own and children's bodies. We don't need Mama-Monsanto-knows-best force-feeding us untested, potentially unhealthy GMO food because we can't be trusted to make our own informed decisions.
2) GMO presents health risks, for example pesticide from GMO corn showing up in mothers' and babies' blood.
3) GMO herbicide-tolerant crops require more chemical herbicides, which is breeding herbicide-resistant superweeds. GMO = chemical companies selling more chemicals.
4) GMO is contaminating the non-GMO seed supply, interfering with farmers' right to farm free of GMO.
5) Yield improvements are negligible, and GMO equals chemical-intensive fertilizer/herbicide/pesticide farming, which is not economically or environmentally sustainable.
6) If GMO supporters think GMO is so great, then they should proudly embrace GMO labels. Great quote from a Consumers Union spokesperson in a Chicago Tribune piece: "'If companies say genetic engineering is fine, then OK, let's label it and let the consumers make their own decisions,' said Michael Hansen, a senior scientist at Consumers Union, which produces Consumer Reports. 'That's what all the free market supporters say. So let's let the market work properly.'"
GMO as applied to agriculture is a tragedy, especially in the developing world. Biotech likes to market GMO as vitamins in drought-resistant rice to starving people, but GMO varieties that have been commercialized are generally pesticide/herbicide resistant so Monsanto can sell more chemicals, which is breeding resistant superweeds, and yield improvements are marginal. There's also been an epidemic of farmer suicides in India as farmers go into debt for GM cotton and then kill themselves. GMO is basically chemical companies selling more chemicals, which farmers in the developing world neither need nor can afford. And synthetic pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers are all petroleum based so will continue to climb in price, and that isn't sustainable environmentally or economically.
The UN published a great (and relatively short) report last year about how "Agro-Ecological," "less chemical-intensive, more knowledge-intensive" agriculture is what the world needs, and it's worth reading through. Knowing what plants to intercrop to minimize pest pressure, promote water retention, and build soil fertility naturally is agriculture that is knowledge based, which can't be monetized and thus is universally opposed by biotech. Biotech concerns own the Obama U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) as much as every other previous administration. Obama's USDA just commercialized Roundup-ready alfalfa—only 7 percent of alfalfa right now is even sprayed with herbicide, and contamination of non-GM alfalfa is inevitable. Also, a GMO corn for ethanol was recently commercialized, which is a sad, perverse incentive of the subsidy schemes in place that promote huge overproduction of corn; corn kernels should not be making biofuel, as the energy return is almost nil versus the energy inputs (compared to sugar cane or cellulosic feedstocks like switchgrass and waste straw).
On a personal front, my dad developed the industry-standard, most-used firefighting foam concentrate for Monsanto in the '80s, used in structure and forest fires in the U.S. and around the world. (Phoschek WD 881). I grew up selling firefighters on foam with my dad, and we have a rad fire truck in his honor you can check out at AllOneArk.com. In addition, our company had to drop our Dr. Bronner's food products in the late '90s because they were based on soy ingredients that we could no longer obtain in non-GM form (about 5 percent of our business at the time).
I'm fine with cool uses of genetic engineering, like E. coli making insulin, better algae for biofuels, and stuff that is not about Monsanto controlling and contaminating the agricultural seed supply and selling more chemicals. This has to stop, or we all will be living on Planet Monsanto within a couple of decades.
