Asian Stocks Post Two-Week Gain on Yen, U.S. Optimism
Jonathan BurgosAsian stocks rose, with the regional benchmark index posting a two-week advance, as the yen capped its steepest weekly decline this year after the Bank of Japan boosted lending programs and U.S. manufacturing expanded.
Toyota Motor Corp., which gets 31 percent of its sales in North America, gained 2.9 percent in Tokyo. BHP Billiton Ltd., the world's largest mining company, climbed 3.9 percent in Sydney after posting first-half profit that beat estimates. China Petroleum & Chemical Corp., Asia's biggest refiner, surged 8.4 percent in Hong Kong after the company also known as Sinopec said it's seeking investment for a stake in its retail unit.
The MSCI Asia Pacific Index advanced 1.5 percent to 137.40 this week. Through yesterday the equity benchmark has climbed 1.9 percent this month, rebounding from a January slump, as Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen's first testimony to Congress boosted optimism in the world's biggest economy. Reports this week showed U.S. factory activity in February surpassed economists' estimates, while the number of Americans applying for jobless benefits dropped. The yen fell as much as 0.9 percent against the dollar.
"Investors have used the January selloff as an opportunity to hunt for bargains," Desmond Chua, an analyst at CMC Markets in Singapore, said by phone. "Valuations in Asia look fair. In order for the markets to continue this current upward trajectory, economic data has to outperform a lot more."
The MSCI Asia Pacific Index traded yesterday at 12.9 times estimated earnings of its constituent companies, compared with 15.6 for the Standard & Poor's 500 Index and 14.5 for the Stoxx Europe 600 Index, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
BOJ Lending
Japan's Topix index advanced 3.3 percent this week, the biggest such gain in three months. The central bank pledged to maintain plans to expand the monetary base by 60 trillion yen to 70 trillion yen ($585 billion to $682 billion) per year and boosted lending programs as policy makers seek to revive the world's third-biggest economy.
The country's trade deficit jumped 71 percent to a record 2.79 trillion in January as surging import costs weigh on Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's campaign to drive a sustained recovery. While the yen's 18 percent decline against the dollar last year has led companies from Toyota to Mitsubishi Motors Corp. to forecast record profits, inflation driven by higher import costs is squeezing households.
"Japan is in a unique situation as the BOJ continues to add stimulus, while the Fed is beginning to taper," said Nader Naeimi, Sydney-based head of dynamic asset allocation at AMP Capital, which manages $131 billion. "Liquidity tightening in China shouldn't be a concern as policy makers need to mop up excess liquidity. There's enough credit available in China to support growth."
Draining Liquidity
China's central bank sold repurchase contracts this week for the first time since June, draining funds from the banking system. The move came after aggregate financing, the broadest measure of credit, climbed to a record 2.58 trillion yuan ($424 billion) in January, data showed Feb. 15.
The Shanghai Composite Index advanced on Feb. 17 after the credit report before ending the week 0.1 percent lower. A private gauge of the nation's manufacturing fell to a seven-month low, data showed Feb. 20.
Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index jumped 1.2 percent on the week. South Korea's Kospi index increased 0.9 percent, while Taiwan's Taiex index rose 1 percent. Australia's S&P/ASX 200 Index climbed 1.5 percent, and New Zealand's NZX 50 Index added 0.8 percent. Singapore's Straits Times Index gained 2 percent.
Group of 20 finance ministers meet in Sydney today, as U.S. stimulus cuts and political turmoil from Ukraine to Venezuela stoke concern over emerging-market volatility. Accommodative monetary policy in advanced economies "will need to normalize in due course, in line with stronger growth," according to a draft communique seen by Bloomberg.
Global Rebound
Global stocks erased 2014 losses this week as growing confidence in the U.S. economy helped restore $3 trillion of value. The MSCI All-Country World Index rebounded, lifting the value of world equities to $62.1 trillion on Feb. 17 from this year's low of about $59 trillion on Feb. 4, data compiled by Bloomberg showed.
"At this stage we remain cautious," Angus Gluskie, who helps oversee about $550 million as a fund manager at White Funds Management in Sydney, said by phone. "The rally that we've seen in the past week has been very rapid and that could sometimes be problematic. We'd like to see a bit more data."
Exporters Climb
Exporters advanced. Toyota rose 2.9 percent to 5,982 yen in Tokyo. Nintendo Co., the world's biggest maker of video-game consoles, jumped 6.9 percent to 12,580 yen. James Hardie Industries SE, a building materials supplier that gets about 70 percent of sales from the U.S., climbed 3.4 percent to A$13.96 in Sydney.
Canon Inc. jumped 3.7 percent to 110 yen in Tokyo after the world's biggest camera maker announced plans to buy back 50 billion yen of its shares.
Samsung Electronics Co. gained 2.2 percent to 1.33 million won in Seoul as the world's largest maker of smartphones prepares to unveil a high-end Galaxy phone next week.
BHP rose 3.9 percent to A$39.17 in Sydney. The miner said underlying profit rose 31 percent from a year earlier to $7.8 billion in the six months to Dec. 31, beating the median forecast of $6.9 billion in a Bloomberg survey of seven analysts.
Of the 375 companies on the MSCI Asia Pacific Index that reported earnings since the beginning of the year and for which estimates were available, 53 percent exceeded expectations, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Seek, Sinopec
Seek Ltd. surged 22 percent to A$16.14 as the online hiring company reported higher profit and said a unit will acquire a rival website.
Sinopec jumped 8.5 percent to HK$6.54 in Hong Kong as it seeks private investors for as much as 30 percent of its oil retail unit, in a sale that could raise more than $20 billion. The shares pared their weekly advance yesterday after Jefferies Hong Kong Ltd. said the company's plans to seek investors are aimed at raising capital instead of reforming the state-controlled energy producer.
Among stocks that fell, Rakuten Inc. plunged 12 percent to 1,463 yen in Tokyo after the online retailer announced its $900 million acquisition of Viber, an Internet messaging and calling service.
"Direct monetization of the Viber business is likely to take a long time," Oliver Matthew, an analyst at CLSA Asia-Pacific Markets in Tokyo, wrote in a note. The brokerage cut its rating on the stock to underperform from buy.
Lenovo Group Ltd. tumbled 9.3 percent to HK$7.90 in Hong Kong. Bank of America Corp.'s Merrill Lynch downgraded the maker of computers and handsets to underperform from buy, citing concern about the time it will take to turn around Motorola Mobility. The Beijing-based company has spoken to U.S. regulators and is working to get approval to buy Motorola from Google Inc. for $2.91 billion in cash and stock.

Brewed gongfu style. I used around 4 tsp for my 6-8 oz mug. The leaves were long and spindly so difficult to measure, I ended up basically eyeballing it.
The leaves smelled chocolatey with an interesting green flavor underneath it. For some reason the scent makes me think of a front porch around the 4th of July in a little town near a river #synesthesia.
The liquor was great smelling – deep, molasses-y and chocolatey.
The flavor is surprisingly spicy and deep. I get great flavors of molasses and earth. There is a tiny salty coppery aftertaste.
To sum up the first infusion: Dirt and Blood. And I mean that in the best possible way.

is it true that Wiggo is hoping to win Paris Roubaix or is that a wind-up?
Bradley Wiggins' Tour de France triumph took him to the top of the UCI WorldTour Ranking, and now it has been confirmed that the Team Sky rider has also taken the top slot in the world rankings compiled by the team's co-sponsor, IG Markets, in association with sports stats specialists Opta.
In the UCI WorldTour Ranking, Wiggins, who was previously in third place, replaces Giro d'Italia runner-up and Fleche Wallonne champion Joaquin Rodriguez of Katusha at the top of the standings. Wiggins' overall win plus points accrued in winning the two time trials, plus of course earlier victories in Paris-Nice, the Tour de Romandie and the Critérium du Dauphiné have helped him rack up 601 points.
Rodriguez is a distant second on 404 points, with Liquigas Cannondale's Vincenzo Nibali breathing down his neck just 3 points behind as a result of his podium place in Paris plus a victory earlier in the season in Tirreno-Adriatico and some decent results in the Spring Classics.
The Katusha rider, of course, missed the Tour, and it's whether a rider competed or not in France this month that has caused the biggest moves in the top 10 – Tom Boonen, for instance, drops from 2nd to 4th, while Tour runner-up Chris Froome leaps from 52nd to 6th.
On the IG Pro Cycling Index, launched last year, Wiggins has jumped from 4th to 1st, but it's Peter Sagan, winner of three stages plus the green jersey at the Tour, who moves into 2nd spot, with previous leader Rodriguez falling to 3rd.
The stated aim of the IG Pro Cycling Index is to find an answer to the question, "Who is the best cyclist in the world?" with Opta analysing results of 120 races on a rolling, 12-month basis. That means it has two significant differences from the UCI WorldTour Ranking – it rates all riders across all of those races, and is based on performances from an entire year's racing.
The UCI WorldTour ranking, in contrast, is only based on results from the 18 of the 29 WorldTour races that have so far been contested in 2012, rates only those riders racing for top-flight teams, and doesn't take account of performances in non-World Tour races; Mark Cavendish, for example, lies 27th in the ranking, itself a big improvement on the 46th spot he occupied before the Tour. In the IG Pro Cycling Index, however, he is 5th.
In the UCI WorldTour Team ranking, Sky's strength of depth is emphasised by the fact that uniquely they are the only team in which all five riders whose points are counted are now in three figures – Wiggins himself, followed by Froome, Rogers, Rigoberto Uran and Mark Cavendish.
The success of Wiggins, Froome and Cavendish in the Tour de France, as well as points picked up in ranking events earlier in the season by Ben Swift and Geraint Thomas, means that Great Britain are now a dizzy third in the UCI WorldTour Ranking by Nation. Spain top that with 1,136 points with Italy second on 1,084 points but Great Britain isn't far behind on 1,041.
Born in Scotland, Simon moved to London aged seven and now lives in the Oxfordshire Cotswolds with his miniature schnauzer, Elodie. He fell in love with cycling one Saturday morning in 1994 while living in Italy when Milan-San Remo went past his front door. A daily cycle commuter in London back before riding to work started to boom, he's been news editor at road.cc since 2009. Handily for work, he speaks French and Italian. He doesn't get to ride his Colnago as often as he'd like, and freely admits he's much more adept at cooking than fettling with bikes.

WLJmsTransport througput
Dec 24, 2012 10:45 AM
I'm trying to use the WLJmsTrasport annotations to expose an exising JAX-RPC service over JMS.
I'm using a foreign JMS provider integrated via JCA (Apache Qpid).
Everything is integrated OK, but the the throughput is terrible.
From what I can see, only one instance of MessageListener is created for the service. I.e. onMessage is called serially for each message and there is no concurrency at all.
I've tried just about everything with regard to worker managers to create more instances - but it seems that it follows a different code path as none of the worker managers (from the weblogic console) are affected. (I think the JCA adapter creates its own thread)
Is this type of thing (incoming session pooling etc..) usually managed by the JCA adapter?
Is there any way to increase the concurrency for WLJmsTransport?
Alternatively, has anyone had any experience in exposing web services of JMS with Weblogic?
Any help would be appreciated.
I'm using Weblogic 11g (10.3.2) btw
I have the same question

fun with parody.
A handful of new movies, theatrical and amateur, parody the two biggest reality TV shows. Disorder in the House: A Political Big Brother offers commentary by intercutting scenes from an overseas version of Big Brother plus scenes of politicians in action. A full-blown movie parody of Survivor takes a different approach, featuring lots of naked people running around an island, although these aren't ordinary people–they're five former Penthouse Pets. Survivors Exposed is available on DVD. Finally, if that's not enough, there's the self-describing Erotic Survivor.

Lakefront Brewery
"Our favorite local brewery tour! Try to register ahead for the tour, as it fills up. The people here like beer, and they want you to like beer. They used to have no-limit drinking tour until insurance told them that was a bad idea :-) You will likely find some of their beer out at restaurants and bars around Milwaukee."
Miller Brewing Company: Tours
4251 West State StreetMilwaukee, WI, United States
"The BIG MAN ON CAMPUS. Don't expect to find a Budweiser up here...and don't ask for one! Miller is a much bigger operation and a classic brewery that everyone likes to visit. Personally, we enjoy the smaller local breweries for their personality and interaction."
Sprecher Brewing Company Inc-Gift Shop Tours: Administration
701 West Glendale AvenueMilwaukee, WI, United States

(Read article summary)Cranston said the book will detail 'the stories of my life and reveal the secrets and lies that I lived with for six years shooting "Breaking Bad."'
Jordan Strauss/Invision/AP
"Breaking Bad" fans, your favorite show may be over, but you still have something left to look forward to.
"Bad" star Bryan Cranston has announced he will be writing a memoir that will include reflections on his time working on the AMC drama.
"Walter White taught me a lot — some of it useful, some of it dangerous," Cranston said in a statement about his famous role. "With this book, I want to tell the stories of my life and reveal the secrets and lies that I lived with for six years shooting 'Breaking Bad.'"
The book will be released by Scribner in the fall of 2015, according to the Los Angeles Times.
Cranston received three Best Actor Emmy Awards for his role as Walter White. The show also secured the Best Drama award in 2013 and "Bad" actress Anna Gunn received the Best Supporting Actress prize.

Thread: Tender Baked Parmesan Chicken
Tender Baked Parmesan Chicken
This is really easy. You can easily cut this in half and save the other chicken breast for a chicken salad the next day or put in it a wrap. Two meals from one recipe!
Serves: 4
Prep Time: 10 Minute(s)
Cook Time: 20 Minute(s)
1/2 cup Hellmann's® or Best Foods® Real Mayonnaise (I use low fat)
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp. Lawry's® Garlic Powder With Parsley (or just plain garlic powder and toss in some parsley - fresh or dry)
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (about 1-1/4 lbs.)
3/4 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs
Preheat oven to 450°.
In small bowl, combine Hellmann's® or Best Foods® Real Mayonnaise, cheese and Garlic Powder. Brush both sides of chicken with mayonnaise mixture, then coat in bread crumbs. On baking sheet, arrange chicken.
Bake 20 minutes or until chicken is thoroughly cooked (juices run clear). - 08-11-2008, 07:18 PM #2

The political fuss over Vince Cable's leaked letter to No 10 calling for a more coherent industrial policy as the basis for Britain's economic recovery masks a debate that has been going on for decades. Ever since the industrial upheavals of the Thatcher era, governments of all persuasions, and indeed even ministers within the same government, have agonised over how a strategy for industry should look. With less and less money available for direct support, the task has become increasingly difficult.
Mr Cable is right when he identifies the underlying problem with "piecemeal" decisions and the absence of a long-term vision. Where he is wrong is in suggesting that what we require now is an active industrial policy.
Government is already hugely involved, directly and indirectly, in the shaping of industry and commerce. Sectors of the economy where the government is a major purchaser have tended to thrive, such as defence and aerospace and pharmaceuticals. A large part of the economy is either subject to strict competition rules (retail, media), price controls (utilities, transport) or is directly regulated by government (the financial sector). Government's main role has been to make sure markets work in an open and competitive way.
But moving from here to "picking winners" and backing these potential success stories via a government-owned industrial development bank is not the answer. Sustained long-term growth is achieved through open markets, skills, science, innovation and a business-friendly environment.
While there is a good case for government to share risks with the private sector on technology and R&D in certain areas, the more fundamental basis for industry to thrive in is one that allows funds to flow into productive investment.
That can only be done in two ways. The first is providing the right incentives for banks and other institutions to lend. The second is by ensuring that those running companies are rewarded for investing in growth and profitable expansion.
Arguably, therefore, the current debate on executive pay should switch from the size of the overall pay packet itself to whether the types of remuneration that executives receive actually incentivise long-term investment and growth. Those that don't should be discouraged. This would mean linking pay to growth and profitable expansion rather than buyback deals that drive up share prices. It also would mean rethinking the wisdom of stock options as a means of remuneration. This would be a far more effective step than a loss-making industrial development bank owned by taxpayers that would risk picking more losers than winners.

Seeking Oil Alternatives in Pricing Struggle
November 26, 2007
,For the past several years, the bath accessories industry has been struggling to swallow consistently climbing raw material price increases.
These woes are not exclusive to the bath accessories segment — rather, all parts of the home textiles industry are impacted by them.
But more specific to the bath accessories side is the heavy use of petroleum-based raw materials, such as resin, plastic, acrylic and other commodities that suppliers have become so dependent on to create their products.
Still, retailers have avoided sharing those added costs for goods and production, and thus have shielded consumers from paying higher tickets.
But with pressures mounting for so long — and as the price of oil nears $100 a barrel and labor wages escalate — manufacturers of bath accessories are hoping to graduate to a new level of price points that will shoulder their expenses and catch up to inflation.
"Retailers are resisting price increases," said Noreen O'Reilly, vp of merchandising, bath shop, Springs Global. "While there are slight increases of price points at the retail level, these are not enough to offset our [cost] increases."
Added Carl Legreca, president of the bath division, Croscill Home Fashions, "The situation is a little dismal. I've been fighting price increases for about two years, but lately there's no fighting it anymore. I'm taking whatever [retail price increases] I can take. We might put out some higher prices and see if the consumer accepts it or not. I think the entire industry will have to. We've absorbed them for the last two years — the factories, the trading companies and us, the distributors."
On Legreca's side is Creative Bath Products director of sales and marketing Bob Weiss: "The point of the matter is we're all in it together, and the price increases on petroleum affect us all equally in this business. So there are going to have to be price increases at retail. If we need a nickel more here and there, we're going to have to ask for it. Maybe everyone will have to take a margin hit — it will have to shake out someway."
Getting retailers to adjust their prices has been a challenge, suppliers said.
Of the several bath accessories suppliers interviewed for this article, only Avanti Linens said it has been successful in passing along cost increases to its specialty and department store customers.
"We pass along our price increases to the retailers," explained Michael Tauber, president of Avanti, which added the bath accessories category to its assortment less than two years ago. "They understand what's going on in the world."
But the others all agreed that for the past two years, they've had to absorb added compounding oil-related costs — in the form of not only raw materials but production, shipping and transporting — for the sake of maintaining shelf space at the stores.
Veratex cited an example of a hit, albeit small, it took to appease a retail customer. The retailer wanted to repurchase for a second time a two-year-old resin accessory program, but expected to pay the same price it paid originally, said bath designer Jamie Kamezawa.
"We were able to accommodate them," she said.
Kamezawa said Veratex has been "negotiating very hard" with overseas factories "to see what we can do to meet retailers' prices."
She said the factories warn of the higher cost of resin. Yet many retailers expect to pay and sell accessories at the same price levels from years ago.
"In some cases we've been successful in negotiating prices with our factories, but in some cases we haven't, so we've passed on some business," said Kamezawa. "Luckily, most of the time we've been able to achieve paying reasonable [raw material] prices. But it's definitely getting tougher."
The soap dish and other smaller accessory pieces, for example, have been staid at the $9.99 price bracket "since the beginning of time," said Ex-Cell Home Fashions vp of merchandising for fashion bath, Ida Moran, only half-joking.
"Retail prices are not rising. In fact, in some cases they are getting lower," said Moran. "So it's been a challenge to come up with products that make sense to the retailer and the consumer and can meet the established retail price points."
To accomplish this, Ex-Cell finds itself "working backward," Moran continued. "We work from key retail price points and then come up with product that works in that realm. We question every material, every product, ask ourselves if it has the right value equation. It forces you to work smarter."
Another method of offsetting added costs while trying to stay within retailers' price demands is using alternative constructions and media to create accessory lines.
O'Reilly said Springs Global has already begun to "shift materials due to the price increases, and we will continue with this strategy."
Blonder Home Accents is applying mixed media styles in creating its latest assortments, said Roger Sample, general manager of the company's accessories business. "We're trying to add more value to our products through mixed media and by using more natural materials. We're varying constructions and materials and that is a function not only of overall design trends but also an opportunity to offset raw material costs and other increases we're seeing," Sample said.
Blonder's non-petroleum based materials include brushed and polished metals, which have sparked interest at retail not only in bath sales but for other departments in home, noted Jodi Messina, Blonder marketing manager.
"In the big-box stores we're seeing how shoppers cross-purchase these products, and we're definitely trying to respond those trends."
Added Sample: "Brushed and polished metal, for example, are very popular in bathrooms and kitchen for towel bars or knobs on sinks, and so we're trying to use more of that in our accessories to achieve total room coordination."
Baltic Linen Co.'s dark wood collection of accessories, currently carried at a major home improvement chain, has recently seen sales surge for its wastebasket and toothbrush holder components. The company's director of bath coordinates, Rick Lipton, said he thinks he knows why.
"In the dark wood, the toothbrush holder and wastebasket offer multiple uses, and customers are noticing that," Lipton said. "The wastebasket can go anywhere, such as an office. The toothbrush holder can hold pens as well as toothbrushes."
The environmental movement has sparked consumer interest in natural materials, giving bath accessory suppliers another viable alternative to oil-based materials for their wares.
Allure Home Creation is employing "more sustainable products with an environmental appeal" and at the same time saving on costs for materials and production, said Gaby Colquitt, vp, design and marketing.
Category newcomer Westgate, which added bath accessories to its line earlier this year, is on that same page. Susi Goldberg, vp, design and product development, fashion bath, said that while her collection debuting in February is heavily comprised of ceramic and resin products, she is "exploring more natural materials for the second half of next year. I was thinking about wood and bamboo, among others. I definitely want to offer more variety in design to the line, but I'm also looking to possibly offset raw material costs."

Spacing Out
Here is a link to December 6, 2013s Youtube video of Jason McClellan's Spacing Out space/UFO show. Interesting take on science and UFOs.
Inexplicata: Mexico: Cylindrical Object Plummets into Volcano?
From Inexplicata:
If a picture is worth a thousand words, the numerical value of a video is
incalculable, provided it is not a hoax. Prof. Ana Luisa Cid has very
kindly shared with us a video from the Mexico's TELEVISA network showing the
precise moment at which a bright, cylindrical shape appears to plummet into the
smoking maw of 17,000 foot Popocatepetl on 25 October 2012. The volcano's
eruption status is continuously monitored by Mexico's CENAPRED agency.
Historically UFOs have been linked to volcanos, especially in South American, which on average reports more UFO activity than North America.
The U.S. Air Force's Super Sonic UFO
From the Daily Grail:
The National Archives have released recently declassified records from the USAF's Aeronautical Systems Division which feature a project aimed at creating a military-grade flying saucer:
The above illustration was discovered in the pages of a document titled "Project 1794, Final Development Summary Report" (d.1956) The caption reads "USAF Project 1794". However, the Air Force had contracted the work out to a Canadian company, Avro Aircraft Limited in Ontario, to construct the disk-shaped craft. According to the same report, it was designed to be a vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) plane designed to reach a top speed of Mach 4, with a ceiling of over 100,000 feet, and a range of over 1,000 nautical miles.
This project is not a new revelation to UFO researchers – Look Magazine had this scoop in 1955, before this report was even released:
Though I'm sure serious UFO researchers would be encouraged to further investigation by the National Archives' mention that "the images here are from selected reports in just two boxes of this collection. The entire series is available for historians to research".
The two main questions that arise out of Project 1794 though are (a) what was the specific inspiration for creating a flying saucer, and (b) what became of the project?
In the case of the latter question, opinions vary. On Wikipedia you'll find mention of a number of research accidents, suggesting that the prototype craft was so dangerous that staff "were afraid of the machine". On the flipside, in his book Mirage Men (Amazon UK and as a pre-order from Amazon US), Mark Pilkington wonders whether the project went 'dark':
So what happened to America's flying saucer? Aviation historians Bill Rose and Tony Butler see the confusing use of multiple project names for essentially the same aircraft as deliberate obfuscation, and suggest that MX-1794 went 'black' in its final stages. The authors claim to have seen US documents from 1959 discussing an ongoing flying saucer development programme, with Lockheed's famous Skunkworks, home of the U-2 and Stealth planes, as a likely location.
…in 1958, just as the MX-1794 vanished from sight, Avro announced a new project, the VZ-9AV, best known as the Avrocar, an eighteen-foot-wide, three-foot high, single-pilot flying saucer. Intended as a hovering jeep for the Army, the Avrocar turned out to be a juddery, unstable and ultimately useless dud whose only role seemed to be providing comic turns in newsreels – a deliberate distraction, some say, from the real and top-secret MX-1794.
And here, for your entertainment (dare I say distraction!), is some video of the Avrocar. Accompanied by some hypnotic psytrance, allowing me to say slowly in a mantra-like fashion: "repeat after me: the USAF has no flying saucer technology"…
Heh heh, I get a kick out of the Air Force's "Avrocar" too whenever I see videos of it. They still try to pass it of as the result of "mainstream" UFO technology. It is to laugh!
What the article fails to mention is about the same time frame as the Avrocar, the military snagged a piece of home-grown UFO tech that Otis Carr, a protege of Nicola Tesla, invented around 1957.
That is the true tech the Air Force ( and the military-industrial-complex ) uses today!
Stanton Friedman: Flying Saucers and Science
Once again apologies for my infrequent posting. I have an ongoing family health crisis ( not me this time! ) which takes my time. But I'll give you a little food for thought this week in this UFOTV video by Stanton Friedman, nuclear physicist and premier UFO researcher and major proponent of the nuts and bolts theory of UFOs.
Personally, I don't think all UFOs are alien space vehicles, but there's a chance a good many of them are, and Friedman gives his case a nice reason to be believed.
Snowflake UFO
From Gather.com:
An amazing UFO video has been posted to YouTube showing what is described as a "snowflake" mothership dropping light balls over an unidentified area of South America. What is it?
In the video, taken at night, a man, speaking Spanish, is amazed by the sight of a lighted ship hovering over what looks like a farmhouse. The craft is shaped like a giant snowflake and appears to be throwing off smaller lighted orbs. It's not like anything ever filmed before.
An interpretation provided by commenters on the channel is not really necessary, since the man's amazement is understood in any language. But his family comes for a look and are amazed as well.
There's just no way to describe this amazing UFO which defies explanation and does not appear to be a CGI hoax. At the end of the video, a separate segment renders the image in what looks like the infrared spectrum and the light balls dropping from the craft are more easily seen.
It's just incredible.
I'm reminded of the Cordwainer Smith story "The Burning of the Brain" in which the starship is shaped like an old Southern manor. Starships in this far future time are held together by force-fields, not metal. Thus there is no need for pressure or vacuum hulls. The description of the UFO by the witness and its unorthodox shape is no surprise if the craft is built by a highly advanced space-faring civilization.
Update: The Olympic Goodyear "UFO"
I knew it was too good to be true, darn it!
Sometimes it's a bitch finding a decent conspiracy, lol!
When a strange, milky-white object glided over the Olympics opening ceremony and was caught on video, there was chatter that this was the extraterrestrial visitation for which UFO researchers are constantly searching.
Now we know the truth behind the strange object spotted amid the pyrotechnics spectacle. It was Goodyear's "Spirit of Safety" blimp. And a spokesman for the company tells HuffPost why the aircraft appeared so mysterious.
To put it simply, the electric signage was turned off, so that it wouldn't interfere with the show.
"I can definitely tell you we were up in the air for the entirety of the opening ceremonies. I can't speak to what else was in the air, but the blimp was certainly up there during the fireworks," said Goodyear U.S. public relations manager Doug Grassian.
"During the whole ceremony, we were providing the coverage for NBC, so we were up in the air the whole time [with our ship] the Spirit of Safety," Grassian told The Huffington Post.
Three days prior to the start of the Olympics, the Associated Press reported that William Hill, a London betting house, had offered 1,000-to-1 odds that a flying saucer would appear over Olympic Stadium during the opening ceremony. So, people in the U.K. were already wondering — and betting on — if such an event would occur.
Alas, it was only Goodyear's Spirit of Safety that showed up in the restricted airspace above the stadium.
The word "Goodyear" — which normally appears on the blimp — was removed, adding to the confusion and misidentification of the blimp as a UFO.
"Because we're not a sponsor of the Olympics, we had to take the Goodyear branding off of it," Grassian explained. "That's why when you look at it, you probably just see blue and yellow with no words on it. It will remain that way until the Olympics are done."
This isn't the first time a Goodyear blimp has been mistaken for a UFO.
"It happens occasionally," Grassian said. "I've been in this job roughly two years, and I've seen a couple of incidents where people have called us to ask if the blimp was around because they thought there was a UFO [in the area]."
Those London betting offices probably didn't have to pay off any UFO wagers this time around.
Also there's another correction, I made a notation about the "Pope." Actually, it was Nick Pope, not the Catholic Pope.
Last month, former British Ministry of Defence UFO desk agent Nick Pope alluded to the possibility of something like this happening in remarks to The Daily Mail: "If aliens have studied our psychology, they may choose to appear in our skies on a significant date – the closing ceremony of the Olympic Games is one date being widely circulated by conspiracy groups."
But in an email to De Void, Pope maintains his statement was a PR boost for a PlayStation Vita "Resistance: Burning Skies" alien-invasion video game. Even so, "It was a safe bet," he adds. "With a TV audience of billions and with so many cameras, somebody was bound to spot something and say it was a UFO. Also, with my original remarks in mind, this is a classic self-fulfilling prophesy: I say 'watch out for UFOs' and because I used to investigate UFOs for the government, people read something into my remarks and start expecting something to happen. In such circumstances, any light in the sky will be seized upon by people and turned into an alien spacecraft, in some people's minds."
Ultimately, Pope says, the UK's Civil Aviation Authority should be able to resolve the issue with flight logs. But in the event the CAA draws blanks, what would it portend for William Hill, the London gambling house that begat the 1,000-1 odds on UFO wagering? This word of advice from spokesman Rupert Adams: Read the fine print.
"The betting for the UFO at the Olympics had some fairly specific guidelines," he writes in an email to De Void. "That either the serving Prime Minister or American President confirms that either of their Air Forces confirm that a UFO was seen above the stadium." Oh, and P.S.: "The other bet we do offer is 100-1 that the serving PM or President confirms the current existence of intelligent ET's."
Well, Obama's out, this being an election year, but hey, it should be a piece of cake for David Cameron. In 2009, as a PM candidate, Cameron went on the record for UFO glasnost in the UK: "I think we should be as open about these things as possible. So I should be quite happy to give you a guarantee that if I was prime minister, I would be entirely open and frank about these things."
William Hill should place odds on that.
Nick Pope shilling for video games?
Well, I shouldn't be surprised. Researching UFOs isn't exactly a profit making enterprise.
We're all in trouble if Richard Dolan starts doing the same thing though, lol!
Olympic UFO
When it comes to UFOs recently, the U.K. has had its fair share.
I don't know whether it's because of recently released MoD UFO documents or because Britain has the Rothschilds, when it comes to conspiracies nobody does it better than the Brits ( unless it's the good ol' US of A, lol! ).
Talk about an uninvited guest at the Olympics.
Friday night's spectacular pyrotechnics display of the most watched opening ceremony in summer Olympics history attracted more than the eyes of over 40 million people. A clearly seen unidentified flying object was videotaped making its way over London's Olympic stadium, reports Examiner.com.
The disc-shaped object is first seen entering the upper left portion of the video as the fireworks erupt over the stadium. The UFO — which appears to have a dome or bulge rising from its center — moves slowly across the sky as if deliberately observing the light-show spectacle below it.
While NBC Olympics — a division of NBC Sports — has chosen Goodyear blimps for all of its 2012 Olympics aerial coverage, the strange-looking object that appeared over the opening ceremonies doesn't appear to be a blimp.
So what was it?
On an evening that included an apparent Queen Elizabeth and 007 agent James Bond parachuting out of a helicopter into the Olympics stadium, most people probably wouldn't have been surprised if a staged UFO was also on the entertainment menu, just two weeks after the U.K. released its most recent batch of UFO documents.
Last month, former Ministry of Defense UFO desk officer Nick Pope suggested that a huge event like the London Olympic Games, could present itself as a prime target for otherworldly craft to show themselves to a gigantic viewing audience.
"With the summer of mass events, we are all on high alert for terrorism. But we must also cast our eyes further afield and be prepared for even the most seemingly unfathomable," Pope said, according to PressTV.
Pope wrote earlier this year of a conspiracy theory rumor that suggested a fake alien attack would be staged at the London Olympics.
"A combination of special effects and holographic technology will be used to create the illusion of an alien invasion, the rumor claims," Pope wrote on TruTV.com.
"If aliens have studied our psychology, they may choose to appear in our skies on a significant date — the closing ceremony of the Olympic Games is one date being widely circulated by conspiracy groups," PressTV quoted Pope.
Maybe Friday night's UFO appearance was a dress rehearsal.
Of course the old Project Blue Beam UFO attack from outer space was involked, this time by the Pope ( surprise, surprise, heh-heh! )
I wonder if he's a fan of Star Trek?

Cool Colorado UFO Pictures
Let us take our minds off from the horrific event that took place a few days ago in Colorado and look at these UFOs flying formation in a thunder storm there last Friday.
If I was of a conspiratorial bent (LOL) I would ask if these UFOs were a portent of those events.
Some folks would say yes, some would say "are you nuts?"
You be the judges.
The Daily Weird UFOs Is the Media Ignoring a Stunning Set of UFO Images? July 12, 2012 12:09 am Greg Newkirk 9 Comments Some intriguing images snapped by a photographer in Colorado have been causing a quite a bit of discussion online this week, but the real question is why they haven't been causing more commotion in the media. Professional photographer Greg Archer took a few shots of a lightning storm over Castle Rock, Colorado on the 6th of this month, but the most striking objects in the photo aren't the streaks of lightning tearing through the sky, but rather the mysterious lights hovering uniform high above the tree line.

UFOs: History and the Hardware 2
It has been four years since I wrote my popular blog post UFOs, history and the hardware and while I have researched other subjects over that time, researching UFOs and what they might be comes back into my ken . I guess what is your first love is always your first love, no matter what.
During that four year period I have read works written by Jacques Vallee, Richard Dolan, Nick Pope, Zecharia Sitchin and of course, Stanton Friedman. And I'm not even counting the many podcasts and YouTube videos posted by others over those years I listened to and watched.
So what have I learned?
That reality is in the eye of the beholder.
Yeah, that could be a cop-out, but truthfully I have concluded that there might not be a definitive answer when it comes to the UFO phenomenon.
Are flying saucers ET vehicles or deep black craft made by the U.S. Military-Industrial-Complex? Well, check out Area 51.
Of course the main stream media have literally no credibility when it comes to Area 51. You be the judge.
Then there is the story of Dr. Dan Burisch/Crain of Area S-4 fame and supposed former Majestic-12 operative.
He proclaims that ETs are time travelers from the future, and thusly are a branch of Humanity not yet evolved. They are not true "aliens" at all. And he gives an excellent description of Area 51 and the S-4 complex he worked at.
Is Dr. Dan a disinformation artist or is he the real deal? I'm not sure, but I like the time traveler theory. Any descendent race of humanity colonizing another planet, no matter how Earth-like will have to undergo some sort of tranformation, either bioengineered or by natural selection. True aliens wouldn't resemble human beings at all in my view, if one takes the theory of planetary evolution seriously.
And then there is Bob Lazar. One cannot talk about UFO hardware in Area 51 and S-4 without mentioning Bob Lazar. Although many have tried to discredit Bob over the years, his story has remained consistant and unchanging over the years. In my opinion, I think he is the real deal, for whatever that is worth.
Of course when one talks about Bob, you can't leave out his friend John Lear. Lear is an enigma to me. At times he smacks of unflagging credibility simply because of his mass of flying different types of aircraft over the years from the time he was sixteen years old (just from being the son of the man who invented the Lear Jet). A person doesn't reach that accoplishment from being an unstable psycho wacko.
But then again, some of his stories are really hard to swallow. Just listen to what he has to say and you be the judge.
In closing, my conclusion is that the answer to UFO hardware is buried in the Nevada desert and in old records at the Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio. If supposed time traveling ETs from the future left any kind of hardware laying around, the military-industrial-complex of the United States has confiscated it and you bet your back-side the technology has been back engineered to the max if possible.
And these projects are beyond top secret. Even above the United States nuclear secrets.
Your U.S. tax payer dollars at work!

Update: Micah Hanks to discuss UFO Time Travelers in his new book.
The U.S. Navy and UFO Files
In 1952 the United States was inundated with UFO sightings comparable to an all out invasion worthy of any movie that came out at the time.
Although most UFO files have since been released in the world (mostly from European countries and South America), none at all have been released from the U.S. Navy.
In fact, research shows that the Navy has no files what-so-ever.
Huh? How can that be? Especially during a time when UFO sightings were the order of the day, and not so much tinfoil.
Now a story has surfaced involving a former Navy Secretary (Dan Kimball) and an Admiral (Arthur Radford) whom in 1952 while flying over the Pacific Ocean in separate aircraft on the way to Guam from Pearl Harbor, Hawaii was buzzed by disc-shaped craft going over 2000 mph.
Considering the U.S. Navy has never released any official documents pertaining to unidentified flying objects, there's some interesting reading below about how an unexplained UFO incident over the Pacific Ocean sparked an official investigation by the Office of Naval Intelligence in 1952…the contents of which are still classified.
The incident occurred over the area of ocean between the islands of Guam and Hawaii and involved the aircrews of two separate Navy aircraft witnessing two 'disc shaped' objects which 'circled' their aircraft twice and departed to the East at an approximate speed of 1500 to 2000 mph – on board the aircraft was Admiral Arthur Radford and Naval Secretary Dan Kimball who later convened a conference with the Chief of the Naval Research Admiral Calvin Bolster about making a full investigation of all Navy and Marine UFO reports.
There's more details and newspaper articles about the UFO incident and subsequent investigation below, Project 1947's Jan Aldrich also raises some extremely important points about the complete lack of declassified US Naval UFO documents and undisclosed O.N.I. UFO investigations.
Incident:Admiral Radford & Navy Sec. Kimball Planes Buzzed
Navy Secretary Dan Kimball was flying to Hawaii when two disc-shaped craft streaked in toward his Navy executive plane. There is no doubt that it it actually happened. In December of 2006 Dan Wilson located an article found in the Blue Book files and Jean Waskiewicz produced a transcript of that article, which can be found at the bottom of this directory.
"Their speed was amazing," he told me later, in Washington. "My pilots estimated it between fifteen hundred and two thousand miles an hour. The objects circled us twice and then took off, heading east. There was another Navy plane behind us, with Admiral Arthur Radford on board. The distance was about fifty miles. I had my senior pilot radio a report on the sighting. In almost no time Radford's chief pilot called back, really excited. The UFOs were now circling their plane—they'd covered the fifty miles in less than two minutes. In a few seconds the pilot told us they'd left the plane and raced up out of sight."
After landing, Secretary Kimball had a report radioed to the AF, since it was officially in charge of the UFO investigation. When he returned to Washington he had an aide ask the AF what action had been taken. He was informed it was against orders to discuss case analyses, even with witnesses who made the reports. In regard to other Navy & Marine Corps reports …on checking, found that the Air Force had insisted on getting all copies of reports, without even a preliminary Navy investigation. As in his own case, the AF had refused to answer any questions about these sightings, except for a few that were already known to the press, which it later tried to debunk. As soon as he learned this, Secretary Kimball had a conference with Rear Admiral Calvin Bolster, Chief of the Naval Research. He wanted ONR to make a full investigation of all Navy and Marine reports from then on and also try to get duplicate reports from witnesses in unexplained earlier cases. And this was to be kept separate from the Air Force Project Blue Book
Newspaper Articles:
THE CABINET MEMBER told his story to an audience of Navy officers and air cadets a couple of weeks ago at the Naval Air Station in Pensacola. He may have expected it would stop there, but since he made no such request and since nothing was said about his remarks being off the record, I'll take the liberty of repeating his report.On a recent flight across the Pacific, he said, he was flying at night from Pearl Harbor to Guam. Another plane, with additional members of his party, was trailing several miles behind on the same course. Kimball stressed the fact that he has the utmost faith and confidence in the pilot who was with him that night, a pilot who has flown him for thousands of miles over a period of years.
Somewhere out over the dark Pacific, he said, the pilot came back to the cabin visibly excited and reported that a flying saucer had appeared out of nowhere, had flown abeam the secretary's plane for some distance, and had just raced ahead and shot up into the sky and out of sight. He and the co-pilot had both watched the phenomenon, he said. He asked if he should radio a report of the incident to Pearl Harbor.
Kimball advised him not to pointing out that Pearl Harbor probably wouldn't believe the story. Instead, the secretary suggested sending a message to the plane astern and ordering them to keep a sharp lookout for any unusual sights.IN A MATTER OF MINUTES, the second plane radioed excitedly that a flying saucer had just come down and flown alongside the wing tip, then had shot ahead and vanished into the sky.
Shakespeare had it right; "There are stranger things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.""Operation UFO: The Official Truth about Flying Saucers", 22 November 1953 (The Milwaukee Sentinel)
The author of the article is Captain Walter Karig, Special Deputy to Chief of Information, U.S. Navy.
This newspaper article discusses the UFO scene as of 1953.
Quote from the article: "Dan Kimball, then Secretary of the Navy, was convinced that "flying saucers" are not figments of the imagination after a UFO buzzed his airplane during a trans-Pacific flight."edit on 02/10/08 by karl 12 because: (no reason given)reply posted on 12-4-2012 @ 03:46 AM by karl 12U.S. Navy UFO Investigation:Image: Dan Kimball.
And we know absolutely that another one existed and that it was ordered at the highest levels. This was the study ordered by Secretary of the Navy Dan Kimball, and soon-to-be Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Of Staff, Admiral Arthur Radford, that was precipitated by the close passage of their planes by a UFO in mid-Pacific, and the subsequent blunt uncooperative treatment of the Secretary's aides when they later inquired about the incident from the Air Force. Kimball ordered, through Radford, that a separate Navy file be maintained, particularly of Navy cases, since the Air Force could not be trusted to act in a responsible and civil manner as to openly sharing information as to what was going on.
The Kimball/Radford study was headed by a commander, Frank Lowell Thomas, out of the Office of Naval Intelligence [I think that this is correct, but it could have been ONR instead—these two offices work pretty closely together]. Commander Thomas' study/file went on for an unknown amount of time; it could have been a year, it could have been several. Radford didn't retire from Chairman of the Joint Chiefs until 1957—pretty close to when Keyhoe's informants were keeping their file "with the approval of the Admiral". We don't know if there was any relationship whatever between these two files, or even if they in some ongoing form were the same thing. Whatever the exact situation, one can never say with any honesty that the Navy had no interest in UFOs. And, those early files contained some of the best cases of the era, and would be historically important.Missing Information:
In 1962, former Secretary Dan Kimball and Admiral A.W. Radford were on planes flying between Guam and Hawaii and were circled by two high-speed flying discs. A disc flying around military people of this stature should be the only confirmation required by public, government, science alike to accept that discs do fly and they are not ours. We still have not seen the flight reports. The sighting was confirmed by a U.S. Naval Research, Chief Admiral Calvin Bolster. The full text of the investigation should be released. In addition, other UFO investigations done by Naval Research should be released.
Project 1947.
US Navy Office of Naval Research – investigations set up by Secretary of the Navy Dan Kimball after aircraft carrying him and the Chief of Naval Operations Admiral Calvin Bolster were separately "buzzed" by UFOs over the Pacific. Later attempts by Dr. James McDonald to question Kimball and the civilian head of the project failed. Despite numerous requests under the Freedom of Information Act, to date no documents concerning the investigations have been located.
reply posted on 12-4-2012 @ 04:02 AM by karl 12The statistics in the article below about FOIA UFO documents just about sums up the UFO declassification status of the U.S. Navy and Jan Aldrich's article also makes some very astute points about missing US Naval UFO Information including Secretary Kimball's ONI UFO project in 1952:Ever wonder what the U.S. Government has in their filing cabinets? Search more than 530,000 pages of declassified documents obtained through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and find out..
This section contains batches of documents that have been received from multiple agencies. The FOIA request was for all documents relating to UFOs… the following is what was released:Army – 355 Pages – 22 megs

Notice that the Navy officially has no record regarding the incident in spite of the involvement of very high ranking officials.
Is this a lie, or did the Navy bury any files so deep the nobody can find any written report at all?
Is this because the UFOs were actually deep black Navy projects and the Secretary and Admiral were supposed to inspect the characteristics of the test articles?
Or were they ET craft from interstellar space (or the future?).

Alzheimer's Reading Room
This story -- Readers reach out to Alzheimer's disease patients, caregivers -- like many on their website illustrates my point. They could have titled this story -- Here come the wonderful people.
"The most surprising fact about all this is how much people really care," said Karen Henley, who lives in Westbury. "Everyday people, who are struggling themselves, just want to reach out to help. I didn't think that many people cared about Alzheimer's disease, but I think Mike's age shocked everyone."
Henley, along with her two children, Courtney, 18 and Brandon, 16, has been caring for her husband for eight years. Now in the later stages of the disease, Mike is immobile and nonverbal, unable to feed, wash or dress himself. Sunday's story, the first in a Newsday series on Alzheimer's and caregiving, gave readers a look at life inside the Henley home, including the financial and medical struggles.
Readers reacted. Visits to Karen's blog have skyrocketed since the story ran. The family has already received money as well as meals. There have also been offers to come by and help with Mike Henley, walk the family dog, clean the house and go grocery shopping. Newsday has also received many phone calls and e-mails from people wanting to help the Henleys with money, food, clothes, adult diapers - even Courtney Henley's tuition costs at Hofstra University, where she is a freshman.To continue reading this story go here.

BOSTON (ASRN.ORG)- People with anorexia nervosa, paradoxically, have strikingly high levels of fat within their bone marrow, report researchers at Children's Hospital Boston. Their findings, based on MRI imaging of the knees of 20 girls with anorexia and 20 healthy girls of the same age.
"It's counter-intuitive that an emaciated young woman with almost no subcutaneous fat would be storing fat in her marrow," says endocrinologist Catherine Gordon, MD, MSc, the study's senior investigator.
In the study, the knee MRI images were read by radiologists who were unaware of the patient's clinical status. Compared with controls, the patients with anorexia had markedly increased fat content--visualized as "yellow marrow"--and less than half as much healthy red marrow in their knees; this was seen both in the lower thigh bone (femur) and upper shinbone (tibia). The findings in these girls and young women, averaging 16 years of age, confirm previous observations in mice with clinical signs similar to anorexia nervosa, reported by study co-author Clifford Rosen, MD, of the Maine Medical Center.
Previous work has shown that hormonal alterations, which are common in states of malnutrition, trigger the bone marrow's mesenchymal stem cells to differentiate into fat cells (adipocytes) rather than bone-forming cells (osteoblasts). Together, the mouse and human studies may explain why people with anorexia nervosa lose bone mass, sometimes to the point of developing osteoporosis and fractures.
"Bone formation is very low in girls with anorexia, and that's a particular problem because they are growing adolescents who should be maximally forming bones," says Gordon. "But because of the hormonal alterations induced by malnutrition, the bone marrow stops yielding the needed cells to form bone. Instead the stem cells are pushed toward fat formation."
Gordon is planning follow-up studies to find out why this happens. One speculation is that it's the body's attempt to store energy and preserve warmth. Anorexics often develop hypothermia because of a lack of insulating fat, and are often hospitalized with extremely low body temperatures.
Gordon also wants see how closely fat in the bone marrow correlates with bone density, and whether measuring fat with noninvasive MRI scans might serve as one way of testing the efficacy of hormonal therapies aimed at improving bone mass. Gordon has several studies testing such therapies in anorexia and other conditions that lead to bone loss, such as inflammatory bowel disease.Masthead
