Forget YOLO: Why 'Big Data' Should Be The Word Of The Year : NPR
"Big Data" had just as much to do with President Obama's victory as phrases like "Etch A Sketch" and "47 percent," says linguist Geoff Nunberg. Big Data is also behind anxieties about intrusions on our privacy, whether from the government's anti-terrorist data sweeps or the ads that track us on the Web.
Brian Suda is a Master Informatician based in Iceland working on Upplýsingamiðlun, or data visualisations. He's the author of Designing with Data, which is an introduction to those who have to create charts and graphs for a living, but could be doing it better.
Brian talks with us about collecting data, the growth in the data and technology sector, the difference between data visualisations and infographics, and the importance of telling a good story. He also provides great tips on getting started in this exciting field and some resources for listeners.
A Nation Of Meat Eaters: See How It All Adds Up : The Salt : NPR
Americans eat more meat than almost anyone else in the world, but habits are starting to change. This may be in part because of health and environmental concerns. We explore some of the meat trends and changes in graphs and charts.
Brian Suda – Designing with Data
A data visualization, when done well, can be an incredibly powerful way to communicate information. It ultimately boils down to the choices you make in how to design and present the data. If you make the wrong choice you can run the risk of not accurately displaying the data or struggling to effectively tell its story.
Brian Suda, author of A Practical Guide to Designing with Data, believes experimentation is a big part of arriving at the right choices. As ideas end up on the cutting room floor, not only do you arrive at a great visualization, but you're building your toolbox along the way. This practice and experimentation leaves you with a template to apply to future projects.
Essentially, arriving at the right choices now allows you to make better choices later. If you learn the best ways to represent different types of data, you can then apply that knowledge to any data sets you may have to visualize.
Brian will be sharing his insights on data visualizations in his virtual seminar, The Design Choices You Make for Information: How to Create Great Data Visualizations, on Thursday, May 17. You won't want to miss out on Brian's pragmatic tips and techniques. Save your spot in Brian's seminar.

An Avondale Estates Police officer shot and killed a man after a struggle behind the Avondale Patillo United Methodist Church off of Covington Highway on July 15, according to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI).
John Bankhead, a spokesman for the GBI who was on the scene, said that at approximately noon an officer made a routine traffic stop and pulled an individual into the parking lot of the church located at 3260 Covington Highway.
"The shooting had nothing to do with the traffic stop," Bankhead said. "A church worker had seen a suspicious man out in front of the building acting in a strange manner and went and told the officer."
Bankhead said the officer then approached the individual and the church worker walked off. When she turned around again the officer and the suspect were gone.
"The suspect ran off and he was chasing him and they wound up on the opposite side of the church in the woods…there was a struggle and the suspect was armed and apparently reaching for his weapon and the officer shot him," Bankhead said.
According to Bankhead the suspect, whose name has not yet been released, was being transported to Grady Hospital but died en route so his body was then transported to the DeKalb County Medical Examiners Office.
The officer involved suffered no injuries.

HOOKED: Realities of drug addiction; Addicts struggle to find help, rehabilitation programs
Part 2 of a Two-Part Series
ELYRIA — Rehabilitation services for addicts are hard to get amid the skyrocketing problem of opioid drug abuse in Lorain County. No local detoxification program is available, and those in need often face long waits.
Dr. Stephen Evans, the Lorain County Coroner, pointed to one example:
"She was supposed to go on Monday morning," Evans recalled. "On Sunday, she overdosed and died. She had waited for months to get in.
"There just doesn't seem to be the resources available to help everybody."
The same concerns were raised by local families at a recent meeting of SOLACE, a support group for family members of addicts.
"I feel like if I don't do something, I'm going to be looking at him in his casket," one father said about his 28-year-old son.
Last year, 60 people died from drug overdoses in Lorain County, triple the 22 who died in 2011. Heroin abuse has become a major threat.
SOLACE meets approximately every two weeks in different parts of the county. The group allows family members dealing with addiction to share experiences with others and to discuss the options available.
One Amherst family found no local help and eventually sent their son to New Jersey for rehabilitation and then later to Florida when he relapsed. Continued...
They had called every doctor in the county licensed to dispense suboxone — a drug used to treat opioid addiction — but found that every doctor had 100 clients already and could take no one else.
Each year, approximately 40 local residents are sent to Cuyahoga County for detoxification, said Elaine Georgas, executive director of the Lorain County Alcohol and Drug Addiction Services Board. The money for such services is nonexistent in Lorain County.
"There is no local support for substance abuse treatment," Georgas said. "We're 100 percent reliant on state and federal budgets."
The board essentially funnels state and federal funding to local addiction education, prevention and treatment services in the county, but the programs that do exist often still have waits and are not always the right solution.
"We have to tell them there is a wait," she said, estimating that those in need of detox must wait at minimum three to four weeks before space opens up.
The county does have limited residential rehabilitation programs; approximately 12 beds are available for women, but none for men.
The ADAS board offers recovery coaches, a peer support program that connects an addict with a trained individual who has been sober for at least two years.
The coaches provide an example for someone in recovery to see that it is possible to succeed.
Lorain County Alcohol and Drug Abuse Services offers the KEY, a non-medical residential community for women. Clients stay on average anywhere from 60 days to six months, according to LCADA's website.
LCADA offers a number of programs aimed to help addicts, but the demand has increased dramatically in recent years, LCADA President Tom Stuber said. Continued...
LCADA averages about 50 new adult clients per week, he said.
It is not just those with addictions who can benefit from the services available through LCADA, family members can benefit as well.
LCADA offers intervention services for addressing drug addiction and education programs for those looking to learn more about addiction.
Both low-intensity and intensive outpatient programs exist for adolescents, men and women through LCADA. Outpatient treatment allows a person to try to work through their addiction without staying at a residential rehabilitation center.
Once a person has completed treatment, LCADA offers AfterCare, a support network to keep clients in recovery.
But with limited options and long waits, it is less likely individuals will find a positive outcome, Stuber said.
"If there is no capacity, if people have to wait, their prognosis goes way down," Stuber said.
His office does offer an intermediate care group — somewhat similar to a 12 step program — to help those during their wait.
"We have a number of people coming in that can't access detox, but can't go cold turkey," he said. "It is an extremely painful withdrawal process."
Stuber said those looking for help should not hesitate to call. Continued...
For further information about drug services available in Lorain County, contact LCADA at 282-4777 or the ADAS Board at 282-9920.
SOLACE next meets from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Wednesday in room E-203 at the Lorain County Joint Vocational School at 15181 SR 58 in Pittsfield Township.
For furhter information about SOLACE, visit www.ctcloraincounty.org, contact Catherine Gabe at 366-1106, ext. 16, or email her at email@example.com.

How is Cleveland 39-2 at home? And this has nothing to do with the refs????? It's all just that they get home cooked meals and not home cooked calls?
I forgot if it was on this board or where i read it, but there was some stat saying that in 50 games or something like that Lebron has been called for 1 foul (or 2 or under). I think that answers the question.
Wow, he must have perfect footwork, his hands tied behind his back, and avoids looking the refs in the eyes.
Whatever works to to rally everyone together. One thing all championship teams have in common is that everyone is on the same page. You can't have any players stepping out and doing their own thing.
I thought this was really good: NBA Playoff Previews: No. 1 Cavaliers vs. No. 8 Pistons - Ball Don't Lie - NBA - Yahoo! Sports
One advantage the Pistons do have is that there are two off days (Sunday and Monday) between the first two games. This means Curry can play Herrmann extended minutes in Game #1 without worrying about the negative consequences in Game #2.
That's what's wrong with the NBA...everybody's hugging each other and whispering in their ear, "Nice contract man." I long for the ole days when the teams & the guys didn't like each other and shook hands just for polite appearance.
Funny, but i am actually excited now for tonights game (must be the masochistic part in myself, lol). The excitement will probably last till the first 5 min of the game but still. Go Pistons.
Or just not play any defense other than the third man over who blocks the shot from behind and then flexes about it. In some ways this series will be about the character of this team in ways that none of the others have. I don't think there is any option for this bunch to return next year in anywhere near the same form. So the only real question is how gently they will choose to go into that good night. Because it is a choice. They can put up a facade, maybe win a game at home, maybe just get close in one, prove that '04 was indeed a fluke, and quietly fade off into obscurity, holders of the also-ran record that no one will ever remember. Or they can get out of their heads and just play and make it interesting. I still don't know if they can win, but they can walk away, heads high with a little of the old swagger. For too many years this team thought it was too good to scratch and claw to gain any advantage possible - to do the things that cause champions to be champions. They cruised and didn't bother with the dirty work because they thought it was beneath them. And we all know exactly how far a boatload of talent and that attitude will get you. Did they lose to Miami and Cleveland and Boston because they were the less talented team? No, they lost in two of those three because the refs favored a player who choose to fight, to expend the effort required to win, to lay it all on the floor without worrying about whether they would look pretty doing it. They lost because they choose to be affronted by the calls rather than choosing to fight back. And if they had fought back those calls would have dried up. Make no mistake about it. It is a choice. Call it the switch, call it whatever you want. It's about looking in the mirror and deciding that you will do whatever it takes not to lose, all the while knowing that might not be enough. And more importantly, knowing that you just don't care as long as you can look in the mirror tomorrow. I hope this team chooses to play this out with their heads high. Held high from the shoulders, and not drawn up by noses that stick into the air. That team can wake up on the day after and feel proud, not to be winners or losers, but to have played the game, dare I say it, the right way. In the end, can any of us hope for anything else?
I agree, this will be the last time they will play as the team they are now. There is a huge possibility that most of the players will be gone at the start of next season due to free agency or trade. The team that has been the last couple of years (Sheed, Rip, Tay, Dice and the young guys Arron, Amir, Max and Stuckey) will end after these playoffs. I am curious to see if they end it with some pride.

Snyder Rescinds Boil Water Notice
By: Snyder Daily News
Updated: May 4, 2012
Officials with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) informed city officials of the test results.
On Thursday, the TCEQ required the city's public water system to issue a boil water notice prior to consumption.
The notice stated that "to ensure destruction of all harmful bacteria and other microbes, water for drinking, cooking and for making ice should be boiled and cooled prior to consumption."
Also on Thursday, crews repaired a water leak on Ave V.
That leak did not have anything to do with the pressure loss Wednesday night.

If this creaping fungus of business development continues.. our landscape will resemble Saugus in a score of years and the lake's hinterlands will be carpeted with particle-board housing and thruway Quickshops. North Andover has been developed enough and in the not too distant future will be known as "The Mistake on the Lake".

Downtown needs more stores that are a destination-Cool deli with good sandwiches and cheeses--gift store-ice cream or yogurt shop-bookstore/coffee house--
Bryan McGonigle2
6:58 pm on Saturday, November 17, 2012
I think Adele is on the right track - especially with the yogurt shop.
I'm no expert in this area but I've been thinking about the new bank branch being built on 125 where the Mobil station used to be. The bank will have convenient parking and drive thru windows. I'm sure it will be a very pleasant experience to visit this bank compared to the two banks across the street from on another downtown.
I find myself needing or wanting to go downtown much less as a used to. I no longer use the banks downtown, there are quite a few more dunkin donuts locations around town, and I don't seem to have to visit town hall very often. Without the supermarket, I don't think of this area when I think about food ...
With parking on both sides and all the entrances and exist, its not the most pleasant place to drive thru on a Saturday - you have to slow down, watch for cars from all directions, and watch for pedestrians ...
Maybe the redevelopment of the Bradstreet School will start a modernization of the area that will make it more of a destination for all.
Cool Fusion
10:08 pm on Saturday, November 17, 2012
The trouble is that at this point in this downward spiraling service economy is that we have too many places selling the same things. When an area becomes super-saturated with retail competition which shared sales, either margins have to increase (consumer price hikes) or you have go out of business. Your Deli's, cheese shops, and ice cream store are already here and even many more in our sister town two (2) miles and 5 minutes down the road. Exactly, how many more NA pharmacies do you need to acquire your psychoactive drugs - 5 ,6, 8?
8:23 pm on Saturday, November 17, 2012
I was thinking that a restaurant at the old police station would be an improvement rather than seeing the empty lot. I'd call it "Cell-ebration".
adele gaulocher
10:12 pm on Saturday, November 17, 2012
I think that we should want to go downtown and be proud of it. Getting the right stores would really add to North Andover--Water Street could be a very happening place if we had more stores that attracted the town's people--I think that the Mill has done well and that if a few more places went in there then it would be great for the town--Right now there are 3 great establishments who care a lot about the community. Like to see more at the Mill--some Art galleries and some fun Art classes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I like the idea of a NY-style deli near the Post Office. Maybe keep the businesses "small" in the downtown area. I also like the idea of some new restaurants for that area. For bigger stores, I like Talbots, Lu Lu Lemon or Athleta for the Burton's strip of shops (since these bigger-name stores are already there). I agree with Adele: it would be nice to make downtown a "happening" place.

News & Analysis
Clues Left in Obama 'Birth Forgery' on Purpose?
An investigative "Cold Case Posse" launched six months ago by "America's toughest sheriff" – Joe Arpaio of Arizona's Maricopa County – has concluded there is probable cause that the document released by the White House last year as President Obama's birth certificate is a computer-generated forgery. The posse says it has identified at least one person of interest in the alleged forgery of Obama's birth certificate. – ABC News
Dominant Social Theme: It was a great cover-up, but now it's been found out. Obama is not what he seems to be. So what are you gonna do about it?
Free-Market Analysis: While we have always believed that President Barack Obama was controlled by the larger forces of the Anglosphere elite, the apparent forgery of his birth certificate raises even more questions.
Is it possible that Obama, one of the most powerful men on the planet, released an apparently hideously flawed document on purpose? The alternative is to believe that he put out an electronic document with NINE LAYERS that clearly seems to show evidence of tampering.
All the man and his (hypothetical) handlers had to do was print out the document and run it through a scanner (thus re-condensing the layers). Heck, they probably could just have re-saved the document as a jpeg, pdf, etc.
It seems crazy, doesn't it? Anyone who has the patience to sit through yesterday's Cold Case Posse presentation (see article excerpt above) should come away astonished by two salient facts:
One, the US President is apparently occupying his position illegally (so it seems); and two, the release of the "long form" and its clumsy manipulations must be comparable to the Watergate cover-up in terms of its ineptness. This is not too strong a statement, in our humble estimation.
There are tens of millions in the US who work with Photoshop or Illustrator regularly or irregularly. Ask almost any of these individuals if they would release a document with nine separate layers showing evidence of tampering (when trying to establish the authenticity of a document) and listen to their responses.
We can't say for sure but we'd be surprised if more than a handful would indicate that they'd follow the path Obama (or those around him) took ... providing what seems to be a kind of documentary proof that Sheriff Joe Arpaio has now seized upon (though it took his "cold case posse" six months).
With all the resources at his disposal, Obama still evidently managed to release an easily exposed cover-up. This despite plenty of apocryphal evidence that Obama is a direct product – or outcome – of US Intel, with its literally millions of spooks, "spook support" and high-tech gadgetry.
We do believe that Obama is "handled." What else CAN we believe? He won't let any of his records be examined, going back all the way to kindergarten. And his activities are in line with what the elites want to accomplish – one-world government.
The elites apparently are creating a formal world government in the modern era via global depression and war. We don't believe the US economy is improving and we don't believe the EU "crisis" is over.
Nikolas Sarkozy was just chased into a French pub in Basque country and had to hide out there for several hours while the crowd raged outside. The mood in Europe is foul. In the US and Britain it's just as bad. China isn't so happy, either.
And yet ... this is exactly what can be expected given the policies that are in place. There is no doubt the current economic environment is a "controlled" outcome. Central banks are not flora or fauna; they are not "potted plants." They do not occur naturally.
Monopoly fiat money is a ruinous phenomenon. Those who have built and implemented some 150 central banks around the world understand full well what they do and what the ramifications are.
It is the Internet itself – through what we call the Internet Reformation – that has challenged the plans of the powers-that-be. Like the Gutenberg Press before it, it has exposed the larger strategy of the elites of the day.
We're not sure if there was a larger, cohesive conspiracy 700 years ago, but there sure seems to be one now. An entire globalist system is now in place including NATO, the UN, the World Criminal Court, the IMF, the World Bank (which wants to take over jurisdiction for the oceans) and the World Health Organization.
The elites have moved their plans forward via dominant social themes – fear-based promotions – that frighten Western middle classes into giving up power and wealth to globalist facilities. But in the Internet era, these promotions are working a good deal less effectively.
It is to the benefit of the elites to continually sow doubt and confusion within the mind of the larger public when it comes to any kind of modern facility, either governmental or technological. We believe the power elite through its controlled Intel operations is pouring resources into undermining the alternative 'Net media.
The idea is to create a narrative of confusion, one in which the outlines of the REAL story are gradually blurred and no one knows whom to trust or what the outlines of objective truth (yes, there is such a thing within the purview of our experiences) might look like.
But we also believe the historic release of this questionable Obama long-form gives us another tactic to ponder. As the Internet Reformation has had a continual impact on the plans of the elites they have grown far more brutal and obvious. As someone recently wrote, "the gloves are off."
Thus, we figure the clumsiness of this long-form forgery (if that is what it is) is perhaps predictable, and even PURPOSEFUL. The idea might be that those who are "running the show" want to provide us with irredeemable proof that they can basically do whatever they want.
They're SHOWING us that they're in charge; that they can put a man in office who has no business being there and is actively trying to destroy what is left of the US Republic. Yes ... it could be argued this is part of a larger methodology of intimidation.
There may be even more to it, by the way. We're not necessarily big fans of either "Sheriff Joe" – an authoritarian bully, in our view – or the hyper-conservative/hyper-theological World Net Daily (though its editors and writers certainly break courageous stories now and again).
But we can't help noticing this entire incident has ended up pitting these two elements against an even more objectionable opponent (from a freedom standpoint) in the Obama administration. Once again, we're being presented with a conservative/liberal dialectic. The world is being framed in illogical, but compelling, ways.
We find it really difficult to believe that with all the resources available to him, Obama (knowingly or not) released this apparently clumsy forgery. One can, of course, make an argument that it was created so badly because only a very few people were involved. But we also think there could be more to it.
Alternatively, the idea is simply to sow confusion and dissent. Obama may be reelected, but the result will be an even more polarized society as many will have good reason to believe the president is not legally viable. This would certainly provide increased fodder for social disruption and a subsequent crackdown.
One grants, with this latter argument, that Obama is in a sense the ultimate disposable man. But we are not surprised that logic leads to this latter conclusion. In our view, many of those who work directly for the great central banking families are continually surprised that they can be world leaders one day and scapegoats the next. But that's how these people seem to work.
Conclusion: You make your deal. Don't be surprised by the consequences. Obama may be in for a rough ride. And his "fellow citizens" as well ....
Editor's Note: Feedbacker Marty, in the thread below, offers several scenarios including one along the lines that we mentioned, but also this thought-provoking one: "The forgery is intentionally of low quality, so that it will be found out. It will be shown that the original was lost, or destroyed inadvertently, by an incompetent clerk (probably one of a male Caucasian republican persuasion), and that he created the document to cover up his own incompetence. Thus the discoverer of the fraud, can be ridiculed in the eyes of the public, for being correct, and a nobody (a now wealthy nobody) can be scapegoated." In fact, "Sheriff Joe" indicated at the press conference that his office already had identified a "person of interest." And it's true that the Sheriff made a point several times that the forgery was not necessarily coordinated from the top down. In other words, President Barack Obama may have had nothing to do with it. Or, so, according to Marty, the scenario could play out ...

I am sorry, but I don't agree with the bull pucky that President Obama has a fraudulent birth certificate. He was born in Hawaii and it has been proven. I think that he deserves some respect and support from people who are set against him because they are prejudice and because they believe everything they read on the Internet.
Also, the Sheriff in Arizona is just one of those "Good Old Boys" who thinks it is ok to bully people. I am from Arizona and a friend of mine just moved out of Ariz, because she didn't like being pulled over by a 'good old boy' cop who wanted to see her papers. She is an American Indian and she felt very insulted by this. Arizona used to be a good state to live in, but I don't think so anymore. Also, I am voting for President Obama to be reelected. He is a compassionate man and cares for the working class.

There is a lot of effort put forthe by the "Conspiracy" to provide plausable "Progressively managed Circumstantial" explanations for the Neo-Cons who do not want to have sudden heat attacks on the eve of major announced video revelaations that will bring down some not-to-be-mentioned Street Organizer for ACORN (Marxist front).
Upon the immediate knowledge of Andrew Breitbart's death: on the street at ninteen minutes into his broadly announced video release date of March 1,2012, Andrew is struck down with a "heart attack" and our side on talk radio immediately tell us "OH YES Andrew had a bad heart and probably died from that. YEEE GOD man (woman) I was not born yesterday!
These people we are dealing with are experts at creating heart attacks. A small bullet that melts leaves next to no evidence of entry. The "One" has his list and checking it twice and checking to see who's naughty and nice.
"The Conspiracy" does not care how much you know or talk about them just do not do something useful at stopping them like Andrew did and was doing exposing ACORN and now Bammer's hidden past.
The Breitbarts of this country, some day, will be bronzed in our nations capital with Patrick Henry's and the initializers of this once greatest nation ever created on the face of the world. First we will have to go through "Red Dawn" Mexican Illegals-HLS", "The Postman" etc.
Do not forget the big picture and you will understand. First we will take Eastern Europe then the masses of Asia. We will than take that last bastion of Capitalism, the United States. We will not have to invade it for we will rot it from within and it will fall like over ripe fruit into our hands.
The United Nations is their MEME for world Liberal/Socialist/Totalitarian/Communist Police State Utopia for the Elite.
RIP Sir Andrew

Reasonable. A conspiracy is like a mathematical equation, something on one side is balanced by something on the other. You help me = me help you.
When I first saw the forgery many months ago, it was so obvious I couldn't believe that they tried. And I couldn't believe that they didn't even flatten the image. It was obviously done by someone who does not regularly use Photoshop. My thought at the time was deliberate sabotage.

Well, this statement reminds me the old Soviet piece of propaganda and disinformation. By the way, how come almost all FED chairmen were Jews? They must be "chosen" people.
Back in USSR, still in a high school, I stopped paying any attentions to the mass media. I understood, it was just lies and propaganda and more lies. I hated the USSR and left the f**king country moving to the USA.
Until the 9/11, I felt that America is a good country. There were problems but nobody is perfect... The 9/11 has changed a lot. To my horror, I recognized that the USA has been changing to the former USSR. The country was running by a mafia.
The Soviets were incapable of running their economy and now the USA is in the same situation.
The Soviets could not live without a constant state of war with the entire world including their own people. The same is the USA now.
The Soviets had a beautiful Constitution but is was a totalitarian and sadistic country ruled by demagogues, gangsters, thieves, etc., It was a utterly lawless society. The same is the USA now.
The Soviet Union collapsed but, so far, it was a bloodless change that really changed very little. The main events are to follow very soon. As for the USA, it cannot continue the present course for too long anymore. A collapse of the US society is inevitable.
Russian citizens still remember the 1917 revolution and its consequences: oceans of blood. So, they are afraid of having a new one. As for Americans, they don't have such experience lately...
Finally, The Daily Bell is an interesting website but something is not right with their agenda! As charlesfrith said they are shifting the blame to somebody else.

All part of the NWO plan, perfectly timed. The certificate was deliberately and obviously faked to make us think - true or not - that we've had an unconstitutional President for more than three years. Motive? To make the Constitution less relevant - and thus easier to toss aside to make way for a new (world) government. Watch and see.

Crikey, charlesfrith, so what, ... . who is doing what is not the main issue, it is why they do it so badly whenever it can be so much better by others who would always be willing to help them, is the question they need to answer to themselves. One always learns better and faster after allowing for temporary necessary defeats which highlight critical and strategic tactical vulnerabilities.
With such control of instantaneously transferrable sovereign wealth as is now in position and possession of the banking system, is an inability to find and fund/purchase all that is needed for future survival in novel systems of IP control, a catastrophically costly omission... . systemic failing one hopes they have ensured is not present to wreak havoc with CHAOS in Damage Control.

Daily Bell: 'Obama..controlled by..the ANGLOSphere elite'
Between_the_lines: In the the last couple of weeks I have been monitoring it, and almost every time a Daily Bell article has appeared on Prison Planet, the article has tried to blame the ANGLOS for what ails the world.
The source of real power is the world is the group of owners of the private central banks and private currencies of most nations. (For example, in the US: the 12 'Federal'-Reserve Banks and the 'Federal'-Reserve note; in the EU: the European Central Bank and the Euro.) And all those owners are JEWS.
For the Daily Bell to say the ANGLOS are the puppet meisters pulling Obama's strings is ridiculous, and extremely racist. A specific group of JEWS are the ones doing it(1).
Who is the Daily Bell? Go to their website

It says 'A challenge to you from the great Ludwig von Mises'
Ludwig von Mises was a Jewish Libertarian economist who lobbied for all private currency instead of government-issued currency.
Also at their website see the Daily Bell's long list of Jewish Advisors. 6 out of 6! …
Tibor Machan - Jewish
Antal Fekete - Jewish
Richard Ebeling - Jewish
Nelson Hultberg - Jewish
Diana Zoppa - Jewish

So the Daily Bell is a Jewish financial rag, trying to scapegoat the blame for the financial colonization of the world, from the the JEWS who are really doing it, to the ANGLOS.
The Daily Bell reminds me of Zero Hedge - another Jewish financial rag whose articles appear on Prison Planet. It always trys to scapegoat the blame from the the JEWS who are really doing it, to the GERMANS!

Daily Bell: 'Obama..controlled by..the ANGLOSphere elite'
DB: We define the Anglosphere elites as including the great Jewish central banking families. We define it regularly. Even the OTHER article on Prison Planet this very (same) day has that definition. You can see it here:
Click to view link
"Central banks are separate banking facilities and responsible for various elements of their country's economies. Some are operated at an arm's length from government but all are likely, one way or another, controlled by the Anglosphere power elite. This elite is apparently made up of great Jewish (elite) banking families along with corporate, religious (Vatican) and military interests and they have continually pushed forward with their homogenizing agenda. The general public is not supposed to be aware of this, of course, and Western media is not supposed to explain it."
Summary: a feedback accuses us of obscuring the apparent Jewish component of the Anglosphere when an article of ours ON THE SAME PAGE at PrisonPlanet defines the Anglosphere as being made up of great Jewish (elite) banking families.
Between_the_lines: In the the last couple of weeks I have been monitoring it, and almost every time a Daily Bell article has appeared on Prison Planet, the article has tried to blame the ANGLOS for what ails the world.
DB: See above. Our position on the "Jewish" component of the Anglosphere conspiracy is very clear. But we do not believe that the one-world conspiracy is ENTIRELY "Jewish." Nor are "all Jews" involved, which is why to speak of "Jewry" is a misnomer in our view.
The source of real power is the world is the group of owners of the private central banks and private currencies of most nations. (For example, in the US: the 12 'Federal'-Reserve Banks and the 'Federal'-Reserve note; in the EU: the European Central Bank and the Euro.) And all those owners are JEWS.
For the Daily Bell to say the ANGLOS are the puppet meisters pulling Obama's strings is ridiculous, and extremely racist. A specific group of JEWS are the ones doing it(1).
DB: The real source of power in our view is control of central banks via MERCANTILISM, which provides central banks with government monopoly authority.

Tiny groups of secretive arrogant people that control most of earth's resources -- financial, human and natural -- do not lack the resources to construct an excellent fraudulent birth certificate if they decide to. I believe it appears to be fraudulent, because it was intended to. Why? Perhaps the Power Elites wanted to be able to easily remove Mr. Obama from office without the need of either bullets or an election -- just a guess.
Posted by MetaCynic on 03/03/12 04:59 PM
I am inclined to think that the obvious forgery of Obama's released birth certificate is more a product of government incompetence than of a clever, convoluted scheme to discredit Birthers. Many people have had personal experience with breathtakingly incompetent government employees. My job forces me into regular contact with low level government bureaucrats. I never cease to be amazed at how even intelligent individuals can become so stupid once they become public sector employees. Bureaucracy clearly discourages initiative, common sense and accountability. Power not only corrupts, it also breeds an arrogance which cannot recognize incompetence.
Look at all the clues left by the careless planners and perpetrators of the events of 9/11 which allow even amateur sleuths to conclude that 9/11 was not at all what the politicians and MSM would have us believe but was most likely an inside job. The different government agencies can't even coordinate their own stories. The Bush administration suspiciously quickly fingered Osama bin Laden for 9/11, yet to this day the charges against him on the FBI's most wanted web site make no mention of 9/11. And an FBI spokesman even went on record saying that there is insufficient evidence to indict bin Laden for 9/11! What are we to make of these conflicting official narratives concerning bin Laden? Do they serve some sinister purpose, or are they simply evidence of government incompetence?
So maybe there is a simpler explanation for Obama's crudely forged birth certificate. A tiny group of secretive, arrogant people, none with a knack for skilfully massaging minutiae, took upon themselves a challenge for which they collectively lacked the competence to recognize that they were incompetent.

There is no question that intel created Obama is a coded message.
The message is "we are in charge and can do whatever we want."
There is no one to turn to. The intel agencies lied about burning fuel bringng down the towers - it was a controlled demolition. A two hour film on this totally repudiates the integrity and honesty of the U S intelligence agencies. The upper militar brass are corrupt, going along and getting along. The mass circulation media is totally shut down. Congressi0nal staff attack any constituent who questions 911, Israel and our foreign policies.
Sarkosy may have been chased into a pub in the countryside, but American intel, military brass, Congress, judges and media owners still roam freely with all the overwhelming arrogance and untouchability that Dominick Dunne wrote about. They are different from you and me.

The CIA sends orders down to Obama, not the other way around. He is a manufactured-by-CIA-president. His mother, father, stepfather and grandmother were arguably all CIA assets. The Dulles brothers didn't want another JFK fly in their ointment, so the best way was to own the possible opposition.
America is not a democracy anymore. It hasn't been a democracy for years. Voting is just a Hollywood exercise, not that much different than was practiced in the Soviet Union.
Posted by obiwan1947 on 03/03/12 03:40 PM
The REASON it's so amateurish: I taught Photoshop, Page Layout programs in Tech School. The point many here need to consider is that ANYONE Obama went to for this forgery HAS SOMETHING ON HIM FOREVER! The amateurish nature is indicative of perhaps one of his children or a very close relative accomplishing this. But if found out,they would "swing" (Capital Crime) along with the traitor.
THAT IS THE REASON it's so amateurish. He couldn't just send an order down to the CIA; "Hey, do this for me!"

Shedding pounds: Allen fitness center offers new weight-loss program
Photo Courtesy of Rachel Hedstrom – Ignite Your Inferno requires participants to write down a bad habit they want to quit or a healhty habit they want to start and post them a community board, pictured here.
By Andrew Snyder,
Published: Wednesday, January 16, 2013 3:09 PM CST
New Year's resolutions may not carry much weight, but it's the subject they often center around.
According to a recent YouGov Omnibus survey, 37 percent of Americans who made New Year's resolutions focused on weight loss.
Fitness Together Allen owner Ray Cattaneo said he's seen a significant increase in traffic at his business since the new year began, and he's capitalizing on the renewed interest with a 21-day fitness program called Ignite your Inferno.
The program is offered in individual ($360) and group ($99) packages and blends exercise, healthy eating and accountability. At the start of the program, participants write an unhealthy habit they want to stop doing or a positive one they want to pick up on a whiteboard, pose with it for a photo and post the photo on a wall alongside those taken by other participants. The photos are also posted to the fitness center's Facebook page.
Ignite Your Inferno participants work out for 45 minutes, three times a week. The program, which starts Jan. 15 but will be available until the end of the month, also provides meal plans and individual assessments and counseling with a certified personal trainer.
Cattaneo – who co-owns Fitness Together Allen with his wife, Amy – said the commitments he's seen range from drinking your weight in ounces of water per day to giving up caffeine. The program is designed to get people on the right path, he said, so they can continue good habits throughout the year.
"Just going into a gym is not going to make you healthier," he said. "We are proud of our clients' success rate with real, visible change, and we know it has to do with the approach. People need to be held accountable, and they need the tools, knowledge and inspiration to make a lasting change."
According to the National Weight Control Registry – a joint project from researchers at the University of Colorado and Brown Medical School that studies long-term weight loss maintenance – the path to weight loss is easy to discern, if not follow. There are several constants among its more than 10,000 study participants, who have lost an average of 66 pounds and kept it off for an average of 5.5 years.
The majority of those tracked changed what they ate (98 percent), increased their physical activity (94 percent), exercised about one hour per day on average (90 percent), ate breakfast (78 percent) and weighed themselves at least once per week (75 percent).
The majority of study participants (55 percent) also lost weight with the help of a program.
Cattaneo plans on introducing a program next month called Get Back in the Game with a new incentive structure. Participants will work their way down a football field and score points by achieving goals such as exercising and following nutrition guidelines.

Paddling event raises funds, spirits
Three-year-old Kindred Worrell, the youngest participant in the 19th Annual Varina Lions Canoe-a-thon, didn't have much choice when it came to attending. But she enjoyed the 10-mile cruise, looking at kayaks and fishing a feather out of the James, just the same. Her father, Sgt. Timothy Worrell of the Virginia Dept. of Game and Inland Fisheries, visited Kindred frequently along the way as he escorted several dozen canoes and kayaks from Rocketts Landing to Osborne Landing. And Kindred's mother, Jennifer, pronounced the journey a relaxing and much-needed episode of "tornado therapy" for herself and fellow teacher Angela Paust. Paust teaches sixth grade at Page Middle School in Gloucester County and Jennifer Worrell is a reading specialist. On April 16, a tornado destroyed roughly half the school building, and Page teachers and students had to transfer to another county middle school. To accommodate the double load, home students and faculty now attend a morning shift, and the contingent from Page attends from 1 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. In addition to the stress of being uprooted and adapting to the new schedule, Page faculty are also coping with reams of lost and destroyed records. "My dad found a GED test in his yard," said Worrell, "four miles away [from the school]. And letters to the chorus teacher were found two counties over in Deltaville." All of which made a leisurely paddle down the James sound pretty appealing to Worrell and Paust when they learned of the canoe-a-thon through Worrell's husband. Pick your pace Unlike the two teachers, Will Harlan has been coming to the canoe-a-thon for years. His neighbor, Buz Snyder, is the event's founder and a long-time activist in the sponsoring organization, the Varina Lions Club. Asked to name his most memorable canoe-a-thon, Harlan said it would have to be his first, when he was still a new member of the Lions Club. Assured by Snyder that the event was not a race, Harlan took his two young sons, whose ages he estimated at seven and ten. "I had never paddled flat water before," Harlan recalled, anticipating a relaxing cruise with his boys. "We brought coolers, fishing rods, radios, and lots of food. But from the moment Snyder and his son hit the water, said Harlan, they never stopped paddling. "What do you mean, 'It's not a race?' he asked Snyder after his loaded-down boat finally arrived at the take-out and picnic. The following year, said Harlan, he and his sons arrived in a stripped-down boat. "And we started getting competitive!" That's the beauty of the canoe-a-thon, say its fans. Paddlers can challenge themselves to try and beat their time from earlier years, challenge family members or buddies in a friendly wager, or even vie to be the first canoeist or kayaker to finish. Or they can sit back and enjoy nature, the river, wildlife, and all the history floating by. River's heritage "Views from the river have not changed that much in over 400 years," pointed out Stephen Winks, the canoe-a-thon sponsorship chairman. Noting that the 17th century Wilton Farm in Varina was called "World's End," because there was no known European habitation beyond that point, he added, "You can not only see the unchanged views . . . but imagine the history of native Americans, and at Wilton, with it literally being the end of the world as we knew it." Both the put-in and take-out sites are historic spots, said Winks. Rocketts Landing was the largest seaport in the country prior to the advent of railroads, and Thomas Jefferson's grandfather and namesake lived at the town of Osborne, across from Osborne Landing, where he operated a ferry. Just half a mile from Osborne Landing also lies Snyder's residence of Aarrahahatteck. "It is the only named spot on Captain John Smith's 1610 map of Virginia," said Winks, "other than James Towne." Although the canoe-a-thon may have originally been organized as a fun club activity and fundraiser -- proceeds contribute to community scholarships, middle school reading programs, after-school YMCA programs, and assistance for the sight and hearing impaired -- Winks views it also as a means of raising awareness about Varina. Most people think of Varina as nothing more than a sleepy rural suburb of Richmond, said Winks. The canoe-a-thon gives organizers a chance to promote the community's beauty, as well as its "extraordinary history [as the] second oldest spot in North America, in the most historic city in North America: Richmond, Va." 'Family reunion' In addition to the opportunity to get close to nature and history, the canoe-a-thon also provides what Harlan calls a "family reunion" atmosphere. Snyder returns with sons and grandchildren every year, and Harlan's two boys -- now in their twenties -- come back to town annually for the event. For Dave Whyte, who paddled with Snyder because his usual partner couldn't make it, the event was a chance to spend a few hours with a role model and good friend. "I keep coming back every year because Buz is like a father to me," said Whyte. Whyte met Snyder in 1994 through his friend Billy Waldecker, who is a great nephew of Snyder's wife, Nelda. "Billy and I were big bass fishing nuts," said Whyte, "so naturally Buz's pond was a great place to visit." In return for the chance to fish at Arrahatteck, Whyte would help out with tasks such as clearing brush or repairing the dock. Eventually, Whyte began attending the Waldecker family reunion each July -- a tradition he has continued since he married and had children. "Over the years, Buz and Nelda fell in love with my family and vice versa, and we feel like part of their extended family," he said. "Arrahatteck is a place that my kids have grown up with and our memories there are very fond." Since his own father's death in 2007, Whyte said Snyder's role in his life has taken on an even more special significance. "I have great respect and admiration for Buz," he said. "[He is] someone I can model myself after in terms of attitude and integrity. "It was an honor to paddle with him for the first time this year." No tornadoes needed As canoe-a-thon participants reached the take-out location at Osborne Landing and gathered for the barbecue lunch, it was clear that even the prospect of a few sore muscles would not deter anyone from returning the following year. One woman, climbing stiffly from her canoe, managed a smile as she groaned, "I don't think I'll do this tomorrow, though." Another woman, who seemed to take perverse pride in finishing last -- even with a helpful tow from the "sag wagon" boat -- showed off several treasures she had found along the journey. "Look at this burly piece of driftwood!" she exclaimed, adding, "There were too many interesting things to see [to paddle fast]." On the bus ride back to Rocketts Landing to pick up cars, Angela Paust was already nostalgic as she reminisced, "It was so nice to be out there on the river." Her fellow teacher, Worrell, confirmed that it won't take a tornado to get them to another canoe-a-thon. "We'll be back next year," said Worrell. "It was awesome." |

Migrated Arab Money: Richest Arabs Abroad
Published April 22nd, 2012 - 16:50 GMT
Rate Article:
Did you know these 'Western' uber-successful billionaire businessmen were of Arab extract? All male, this selection of exhorbitantly rich gents have featured year in year out in the Forbes wealth index lists, and are often the biggest fish - in dollar terms- in the global pond, let alone their domestic pools.
If they're American, they were not necessarily born in the USA, but realized their American dreams nontheless when they became filthy rich! If they're from the UK, they were not always thoroughly British born and bred. All of them have Arab origins (as well big dollar signs) in common. Most of them are Arab and know it! With the exception perhaps of Steve Jobs, perhaps who would not particularly identify as ethnically Arab since his genetic roots were alien to him, the rest can even describe how their Arab heritage affected their business visions. Whether from the Lebanon or Syria, Palestinian, Egyptian or from Iraqi backgrounds, they share entrepreneurial spirits.
In a sequel to Bet You Didn't Know these Celebs Were Arab, here's a run-down of some of the region's wealthiest 'Arabs' abroad. A short-list of the Arab diaspora's most affluent members, with wealth index rankings to show for it. Find out which ethnic Arab produced extreme-sexy flick, Basic Instinct....Between them, they've produced therefore, the hottest films, an exclusive line in computers and the most lucrative businesses. Telecommunications through oil and gas, they have added a sheen to whichever industry they mined their fortunes in, proving that the Arab tenacity gene is active, nurture nothwithstanding.
Some of these business giants have established philanthropological records, taking the filth out of rich. From the more recognizably Arabs featured as Mohamed Fayed, and Carlos Slim to the lesser known, but extremely prosperous Nadhmi Auchi and brotherly duo Joseph Safra and Moires Safra, through British billionaire Simon Halabi, here are the rich pickings of the western world's billionaire Arabs (discounting the out-and-out Arab Gulf oil barons).

The Plantar Fasciitis Insoles.
These are the orthotic insoles that realign feet to a neutral position to help to combat the painful effects of plantar fasciitis. Recipient of the prestigious American Podiatric Medical Association's Seal of Acceptance, the lightweight EVA insoles use a 4 degree rear foot wedge that encourages a neutral foot position that prevents excessive pronation -- when the heel bone angles inward -- a determining factor in the development of plantar fasciitis.
Extra cushioning in the forefoot and heel provides added shock absorption. Contoured around heel and arch to achieve 100% foot contact, the insoles can be trimmed in the forefoot for optimal fit inside casual, dress, or athletic shoes without impeding daily activities. With anti-microbial, odor absorbing cover.
Select size:
Small (Men's 5-1/2 - 7; Women's 6-1/2 - 8)
Medium (Men's 7-1/2 - 9; Women's 8-1/2 - 10)
Large (Men's 9-1/2 - 11; Women's 10-1/2 - 12)
X-Large (Men's 11-1/2 - 13)
