Boeing shares took flight Wednesday morning, after second-quarter earnings cruised above the Street's expectations and the aircraft maker upped its guidance. It was joined in its rally by shares of several airlines it caters to, as the economic weakness sweeping the world appeared to spare the air travel segment for the moment.
Earnings were up slightly to $1.27 per share, 1.6% better than last year, while revenue jumped 22% to $20 billion. Analysts' consensus estimate was for earnings of $1.13 on $19.3 billion. Like fellow Dow component Caterpillar, which also delivered a big quarter Wednesday, Boeing bucked the recent trend of big U.S. companies topping profit forecasts but coming up short on sales.
Chairman and Chief Executive Jim McNerney touted a 27% jump in commercial airplane deliveries and better results in defense for the company's second-quarter results "in a difficult environment."
After a strong first half, Boeing boosted its full-year profit view and now expects earnings per share between $4.40-$4.60, compared with a consensus call for $4.57 and a mid-May forecast of $4.15-$4.35, on revenue of $79.5-$81.5 billion, better than the Street's $79.5 billion estimate and its prior target of $78-$80 billion.
Boeing is targeting 585-600 commercial deliveries in 2012 and though its order backlog was slightly lower from the prior quarter -- $354.6 billion vs. $358.6 billion – it should get a boost from orders out of the Farnborough Airshow, where the company scored big orders from Air Lease, United Continental Holdings and others.
Citi analyst Jason Gursky says the confidence shown by McNerny in the second half of 2012 "should bode well for shares," and that confidence could also lead to a higher dividend or more share repurchases over the next 12 months.
Shares of Boeing were leading the Dow, still up 2.3% near midday despite the evaporation of the broader market's gains.
The airlines that Boeing and its European rival Airbus cater too are also delivering earnings this week, with Delta Air Lines beating estimates Wednesday while US Airways missed by a penny.
Rob Pickels, airline analyst at investment firm Manning & Napier, said in a recent interview that he is bullish on the sector, even in the face of challenging economic trends. "The industry has done good work to right-size," says Pickels, who notes that there are 20 million fewer seats flying around the U.S. than there were five years ago.
"Absent a real dramatic downturn, [we] think airlines will do well," he adds, and the industry's low price-to-earnings multiples remain low given its much-maligned history. Manning & Napier, which owns United Continental and US Air among its airline holdings, sees positives ahead for both the carriers and the manufacturers, though it only owns Airbus at present and has been in and out of Boeing in the past, Pickels said.
Shares of United Continental gained 1.7% Wednesday, US Air added 6.8% and Delta rallied 4.5%.

I bought a brand new size large Montreal Expos t-shirt the other day, brought it home, washed it, and now it's a size small, which means I've never worn it and never will.
Twice I dialed a Telus 1-800 number, twice the phone rang, and twice my friend Mike in Toronto, who has a 905 area code, picked it up. How could this be?
Have a great night. Get a good night's sleep. Then wake up, enjoy a heart breakfast, and help a little old lady across the street. You never know, she might be a billionaire with no friends or relatives.

I found this both amusing and angering:
EDMONTON – An Edmonton teenager and her mother have successfully filed a complaint with the Alberta Human Rights Commission, alleging the Edmonton Public School District's use of a Christian fundamentalist abstinence education program infringed upon their rights as non-Christians.
Dawson's mother Kathy, an agnostic who supports sex education, signed the permission slip for Emily to attend CALM's sexual education classes. She was shocked when Emily texted her to say the "sex ed" class was being taught by an anti-abortion activist, from the American-based Pregnancy Care Centre.
The leftist theocrats spent decades ramming "sexual education" into the public education system against the vocal opposition of Christians, the right, and anybody with any sanity because indoctrinating elementary-school children in the joys of sodomy and pedophilia is essential for the leftist goal of destroying the family.
One pro-life Christian group manages to infiltrate their sexual indoctrination sessions and make it vaguely pro-family and suddenly it becomes a human rights issue that must be dealt with in court.
It's funny how suddenly teaching children about sex is wrong when it comes from a point of view of Christian morality rather than nihilistic hedonism.
Remember, its all about forcing their views and destroying traditional values, nothing more.
To add even more joy, this is how the article ends:
It's absurd. CALM isn't religion class. That's not what parents sign up for. Sex education in our local public schools should be delivered in a scientific, non-judgmental way, by qualified professionals, not outsourced to an American-based pro-life lobby group.
Emily and Kathy Dawson have inspired an important public debate about the nature of our public schools. They deserve our thanks for their courage in speaking out.
This left-wing moralizing BS is a part of the news story. It's not an editorial, it's in the national news section. The priests of progressivism aren't even trying to hide that the news is simply propaganda any more.
The gloves are coming off, they're coming into the open, and they won't stop until they've devoured your children's souls and destroyed whatever is left of the family.

Been hearing many complaints about the Elecrtoral College as of late. Here is a good review from The Heritage Foundation:
Origins of the Electoral College and the Benefits of Federalism. The Founders sought a unique solution to two contradictory goals facing the new country: How could they allow the sense of the people to be reflected in the government, yet still protect the minority from the dangers of unreasonable majority rule? They accomplished their objective by creating a federalist republic in which majorities would rule, but minorities would always have opportunities to make their voices heard. The Electoral College fell into line nicely with this new governmental structure.
The federalist nature of the American presidential election system has an important benefit: It requires presidential candidates to build nationwide coalitions and to show that they will be good representatives for a diverse nation composed of both small and large sovereign states. Presidential candidates cannot succeed if they focus too narrowly on a handful of states, regions, or metropolitan population centers. Critics dispute the benefits of federalism in the presidential election process, arguing instead that state-by-state voting causes some individual votes to be "wasted" or encourages a focus on "swing" states to the exclusion of "safe" ones. Their arguments, however, do not hold up under scrutiny.

Richard Sherman on Kam Chancellor: "He damages people's souls"
Latest Video
The Seattle Sea Gals performed in Hong Kong's International Chinese New Year Night Parade as one of only three performing groups from the United States. Watch
Latest Photos
SEATTLE, Wash. - On a night that saw CenturyLink Field feature a new food item in his name and a fellow bone-rattling strong safety raise the 12 flag prior to kickoff, Seattle's Kam Chancellor had himself a day.
The 6-foot-3, 232-pound fifth-year pro finished the Seahawks' 31-17 divisional-round playoff win over the Carolina Panthers with 10 total tackles - one off the game-high set by safety-mate Earl Thomas (11).
Chancellor, who earned Pro Bowl and second-team All-Pro honors for his efforts during the regular season, was active in the run game, solid in his defense of the screen pass, and nearly had himself a field goal block after leap-frogging the line of scrimmage twice at the end of the first half.
Oh, and he returned a pick of Carolina quarterback Cam Newton 90 yards for a score, the first touchdown of his career, longest touchdown in Seahawks postseason history, and fifth-longest score ever in the NFL playoffs.
"All the big hits that he made and all the things that he did tonight, it was just an amazing football game he was able to get done."
Chancellor's fourth-quarter takeaway marked his third straight postseason game with a pick dating back to last year's Super Bowl XLVIII championship run.
This one came with the Seahawks leading 24-10 with just over six minutes to play in the game. Chancellor got the jump on a ball intended for Carolina tight end Ed Dickson, thwarting a Panthers drive that had reached Seattle's 13-yard-line. What could have become a one-score game was instead pushed to a three-score contest, with Chancellor's pick-six delivering the final blow to the visiting NFC South champions.
"It's a credit to the defensive line, man." a humble Chancellor deflected to his teammates that had hurried Newton on the play. "The defensive line did a great job on that interception play. I look back and I see Cam [Newton] just under pressure and looked as if he was going to get tackled and he threw the ball right to me.
"I read the play, I saw the defensive line get pressure on Cam. Credit goes to them, and I just finished the play."
Chancellor supplied the finish, but how he started the night didn't go unnoticed by his teammates. In his first year as defensive captain, Chancellor has set the tone as a physical enforcer through several of Seattle's matchups this season. Just ask Seahawks All-Pro cornerback Richard Sherman, who said Chancellor "damages people's souls."
"I couldn't imagine him playing in the '70s," Sherman added in reference to the League's recent emphasis on improving player safety. "Some people wouldn't be here today if he was able to play in the '70s."
And when asked about his expertise in offsetting Newton's "Superman" skill set, Chancellor countered with a champion of his own.
"They call me Batman," said Chancellor. "So he can have the Superman. I'm the Dark Knight."
With Saturday's win, the Seahawks await the victor of Sunday's NFC divisional-round playoff between the No. 2-seeded Packers and No. 3-seeded Dallas Cowboys in Green Bay. The winner will travel to the Emerald City for the conference championship game at 12:05 p.m. PT on Sunday, Jan. 18 - a scenario that will surely showcase more of Chancellor's selfless play in front of another sold-out crowd.
"We appreciate him because he sacrifices his body week-in and week-out for the team," said Sherman. "And he enjoys it, somehow, someway."Read

The Kelly Mansion
This piece of Cypress Hills history was triggered by a submission from Noreen Lavan. Noreen has done some exceptional genealogical work on the Kelly family,
and I was able to assist her with my experience researching the Cypress Hills area. For some irony, Noreen's great-aunt Mildred Kelly, who passed down some of this information, was my first grade teacher at P.S. 108!
|The Kelly Mansion
Noreen sent this picture of the mansion, with some of her ancestors posed on the steps. We know they moved into the house in 1902, so this picture dates somewhere between 1902 and 1910. Noreen's great-aunt, Mildred Kelly, provides some background: "... a mansion which was in the middle of 4 square blocks, Crescent to Pierce Place and Atlantic to Fulton Street. It had a white fence all around it and had an apple orchard surrounding the house. Card parties and socials to raise money for Blessed Sacrament Church were held in the ballroom. "
|Who was Kelly?
The Kelly was James J. Kelly, an Irishman who emigrated to the U.S in 1869. This picture comes from an obituart which ran in the Eagle on September 10, 1902. Kelly owned and operated the last 'ropewalk' in the East New York area. Ropewalks were used to manually manufacture ropes, and became defunct once rope-making machines were perfected. The ropewalk closed in 1899 according to the article. The mansion was purchased in 1902. The Kelly family was very prominent in their support of Blessed Sacrament, hosting fund-raising parties at the mansion and on the grounds.
|The Ropewalk
Ropewalks are very long, narrow buildings. Workers move carts along tracks while the rope is spun. On the left, I managed to find an 1898 map with the location of Kelly's ropewalk. It appears to be the only building on the block surrounded by Chestnut, Euclid, Ridgewood and Etna. The picture on the right is NOT East New York, but an interior shot of a typical ropewalk in those days. The ropewalk did not appear on the 1886 maps, so it appears it was only around for about 10 years.
|Where was the mansion located?
Noreen's great-aunt, Mildred Kelly noted the house was located between Fulton Street, Crescent Street, Atlantic Avenue, and Pierce Place. Bear in mind Pine Street between Fulton and Atlantic Avenue did not exist in those days, so I suspect Pierce Place, a street name I have never come across on any map or article relating to East New York, may have been a local name for the path that would become Pine Street. In this 1908 map I have circled what we believe was the house. Note in the upper left the original Blessed Sacrament building, and its easy to see how the proximity of the mansion made it convenient for hosting church events.
|Who built the mansion?
Noreen's ancestors indicated the manions may have been built by a southerner named "Mackey'. I attempted to wind back the clock by consulting a map from 1873. At this point in time the property was owned by the Lichtenstien family. I uncovered an article from 1869 that indicated the property was considered for purchase by the City of Brooklyn to locate the Boys' Truant Home. (The City eventually chose the land where Franklin K. Lane sits today.) The article describes the property as 7 acres in size, which means means it stretched all the way north, up to where Etna Street is today. Note there are 2 houses on the land south of Fulton. The Leichtenstein house is gone by the 1886 maps, and only the house belonging to "Fox" remained, which we believe was the Kelly mansion. Oddly, Leichtenstein does not appear on the 1860 or 1870 census. He was a wealthy Prussian merchant, and it is possible this was just a summer estate. So we believe the house was there in 1873, but we can't yet determine who built it and when.
|Who sold the land?
If you're curious why the left side of the map is so developed while the right side remained undeveloped, it has to do with the original farm plots. This map was created in 1835. I believe it was done by Martin Johnson for John Pitkin, who had purchased part of the Rapalje farm and had it divided into 995 building lots. The border splitting the block between Chestnut and Crescent Street represented the border between Rapalje's farm and Johannes Eldert's. Johannes willed the property to his sons, and I believe his descendants do not sell this portion of the farm until the 1860's. Note that in the original Pitkin maps, Crescent Street was known as "Judson Avenue". It was later named "Cypress", and re-named Crescent in 1887. To date I have not been able to determine to whom the Eldert family sold the property.
|Pine Street, 1923
This image from the Brian Merlis archives shows the developed land in 1923. The view is south towards the ground-level LIRR tracks on Atlantic Avenue. Maps from 1916 indicate that the mansion was gone, but the property was still not developed. So though we have rough timelines on when the house appeared and later disappeared, we are still missing a lot of details that we hope to some day uncover.

Astonishing Details - Leah Judge '13
Astonishing Details
Leah Judge '13 is captivated by the intricacies of the human brain. She has big plans to attend medical school, do a residency, and eventually practice neurology. The Springs, Mich., native intends to pursue a biology major at Saint Mary's with a minor in communicative disorders. "Biology explores the magic of the world with profound and excited curiosity, maintaining respect and admiration for the beauty of life," says Leah. Her own profound curiosity and enthusiasm for the subjects she loves motivate Leah to explore them at Saint Mary's.
After a couple of visits to the College as a high school student, Leah was sold on the biology department. She was looking for an exceptional program with an intimate atmosphere and found it here. She says that now, her professors truly know her and delight in her success. Being surrounded by such encouragement is all the more inspiring. "The people around me, through their words and actions, are teaching me the power of kindness, caring, and leadership," she says.
In her free time, Leah plays the piano and violin, sings, and plays sports. A first-year student, Leah has plunged whole-heartedly into the Saint Mary's community and made some good friends in the process. She also works at an area hospital and volunteers at a child-care facility.
As for her future career, Leah speaks of her interest in neurology and the structures and functions of the body. "It would be an incredible privilege to be able to study the brain, the adverse effects of its diseases, and the treatment of diseases in further detail," she says. Leah's passion for what she calls the "astonishing details" of life has made her a dedicated student of biology as she pursues her ultimate goal of helping others with knowledge gained from her studies.

This is a standby in our house, and although not really seasonally appropriate in fall or winter, it would be the perfect meal accompanied by a soup in either season. You can also easily adapt this meal to be vegan by omitting the eggs and instead of fish making a cannellini bean salad (which I have done before and it's turned out quite well).
Salmon Niçoise Salad,
serves 4
Adapted from
For the Cannellini-Bean Niçoise Salad recipe go
4-5 red new potatoes
8 oz green beans, trimmed
2 skinless salmon fillets (about 6 oz each) or very high quality canned (2 cans)
2 heads red leaf, romaine, or boston lettuce
4 plum tomatoes
3 large eggs, hardboiled
1 medium red onion (not shown in pic)
1 jar or tin anchovy fillets drained (optional)
1/4 cup Niçoise olives
Dijon Vinaigrette
Dijon Vinaigrette
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Coarse salt and pepper
1/4 cup olive oil
In a medium bowl, whisk juice, mustard and a pinch of salt and pepper until combined.
Whisking constantly, add olive oil in a slow steady stream; whisk until thickened.
In a 5 quart pot, bring 1/2 inch water to a boil, salt and add pototoes. Cover and cook, turning occasionally, until tender, about 14 minutes.
With a slotted spoon, transfer the potatoes to a bowl. Set aside to cool. Add the green beans to the pot of boiling water. Cover and cook until tender, about 4 minutes. Remove beans to a ice bath, drain and set aside.
Fill a deep skillet with 1/4 inch water. Season the salmon on both sides with salt and pepper and place in the skillet. Bring the water to a gentle simmer, cover and cook until the salmon is opaque, about 10-14 minutes. Transfer to a plate and flake with a fork and allow to cool.
While the salmon is cooking, tear lettuce into pieces, quarter the potatoes and tomatoes, peel and quarter the eggs (use a wet pairing knife) and thinly slice the onion.
On a large platter, arrange all the ingredients and serve with the vinaigrette.

CSSBCForecastBase Methods
This section describes the methods that are implemented in the CSSBCForecastBase Class.
The RollupParentForecast method recalculates the summary records for a forecast. Summary records are not automatically recalculated when line item detail records are changed.
The RollupParentForecast method underlies the Rollup button or menu choice on Forecast detail and summary applets. It performs the same function as RollupForecast on CSSBCForecast. RollupParentForecast is called from child business components of CSSBCForecast, whereas RollupForecast is called directly from the CSSBCForecast business component.

A woman has died and five others were injured in a knife attack in a central part of London, police said Thursday. A suspect was in custody.
A statement from the London Metropolitan Police said the attack happened late Wednesday in Russell Square, which is near the British Museum.
It said six people were treated at the scene, and that the woman later died. The condition of the others was not immediately known.
The statement said one man was arrested and that a police officer used a Taser stun gun.
Metropolitan Police Assistant Commissioner Mark Rowley told reporters the woman was in her 60s, but gave no other details.
He said the arrested man was 19 years old and in police custody in a hospital. "Early indications suggest that mental health is a significant factor in this case and that is one major line of inquiry," Rowley said.
He said the investigation was at an early stage, and that "terrorism as a motivation" was also a line of inquiry for police to explore.
"As a precautionary measure, Londoners will wake up this morning to notice an increased presence on the streets of officers, including armed officers today. We would urge the public to remain calm, alert and vigilant," he said.

A Visit from the Wall that Heals
September 07, 2010
For many of us, the Vietnam War was a part of history we could only learn about in textbooks. But for more than 2.7 million United States service men and women, it was a life and death reality, something from which to heal rather than merely read about.
To aide in that healing process, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund created a half-scale replica of the official Vietnam Veterans Memorial in 1996. This replica, called "The Wall That Heals", travels all around the United States, giving millions of people the chance to visit the wall in person. For so many men, women, and children who don't have the resources to make the trip to Washington DC to see the official monument, this traveling memorial provides a rare opportunity to remember and pay respect to the more than 58,000 loved ones who lost their lives in the longest battle ever fought in American history.
On September 30, 2010, this precious memorial will be arriving in our very own community! From September 30 to October 3, "The Wall That Heals" will be on display in the Blue Springs Pink Hill Park, 2715 NW Park Drive. During this time, the public may visit, free of charge, 24 hours a day. As special recognition and appreciation for their service, every Vietnam Veteran who visits will receive a commemorate medal, lapel pin, or patch.
Because of the size and scope of the event, many volunteers will be needed and greatly appreciated. Shifts are typically four hours in length and will include assignments such as set-up and tear-down, maintenance, memorabilia collection, wall guides, and much more. If you'd like to volunteer, please contact the City of Blue Springs at 816-655-0490, email: email@example.com, or visit the website at bluespringswallthatheals.net. The Blue Springs North Branch is also proudly displaying some items from the Vietnam War, as well as information about the upcoming event.

This is my second time around on the newborn diapering bandwagon. Though I am by no means a pro, there are a few diapers that I love more than others. I should start by saying that my youngest is a traditional "Long and Lean" (L&L) baby; born at 7lb. 12oz at and 20 inches long. He is now over 24" and weighs just over 9lbs at 6 weeks. The trouble with L&L babies is they tend to eat, a lot, ALL the time. I breastfeed and it's not uncommon for him to be ready to eat every 2 hours, on the dot, sometimes starting from when he started eating. At night he loves to cluster feed, eating every hour for 4 or 5 hours straight. All of this affects how cloth diapers fit and how much they can hold (all that milk has to go somewhere).
For the first few weeks we use BumGenius (BG) AIO NB's. They are perfect for the hospital, and for new dads to use. They also help you get into the swing of things. The other great thing about the NB BG's is your baby can still wear a lot of those cute NB onesies everyone gave you since they aren't very bulky! The biggest issue is that in a few weeks (~6 in our experience) they are done. On my L&L baby he wets through them after an hour once he reached 9.5lbs. If you plan to have a few kiddos they are worth the money. I loan mine out to friends who want to try cloth diapering, and have made a few converts!
Our favorite OneSize (OS) diapers are the FuzzyBuns Elite. I didn't use them right-away on our first kiddo, but this time around they are the first pick for a few reasons:
- Slim Fit. There is nothing worse to me than getting a great little guy outfit and then it doesn't fit because your CD is too bulky. Little boy clothes are hard to find as it is, and I don't want to use disposables just to be able to fit into my favorite outfits.
- Adjustable/replaceable elastic. Your baby will grow; faster than you may want. It's easy to up the size on the elastic once they grow-out of the NB stage. And believe me, you will want easy to replace elastic in a few years (when you hit #2 kiddo).
Honorable mentions are Rumparooz, Swaddlebees, and BG OS. I LOVE the extra leg elastic on the Rumparooz. And when our little man gets older I am sure we will use this diaper more and more. Swaddlebees have the best prints- owls, cows, and dinosaurs. Our oldest always picks these diapers for little brother. BG OS are great. We used them almost exclusively on our first, and love the way they fit. They all are great brands that hold in the wet. But they are super bulky on NB's. And are not umbilical cord friendly. However they will certainly grow with your fastly growing baby and nothing is simpler to change the size than snaps.
Of course there are a LOT more brands out there, plus prefolds, (which we are just starting to try). But for us these are the ones I gravitate to the most. Of course in a few months when our littlest starts crawling I might have new favorites.
Until then – Happy Cloth Diapering – Mary
Bio – I'm a 'busy' 'work-at/from-home' mother of two little boys in eastern Oregon. I coach cross country, and try to stay in shape so that my sons will not be able to out run me till they are at least 10 (maybe 12), and, oh yeah, I help manage a 400cow family dairy J. Mary Chamberlain

By Wayne Cole
SYDNEY (Reuters) - Japanese shares ended a stellar year with a flourish on Monday, rising to a six-year peak as the yen skidded to fresh lows for a third straight session, again leaving behind other Asian markets.
Tokyo's Nikkei advanced 0.7 percent on its last trading day of the year. The market is closed from Tuesday to Friday. Australian stocks rose 0.6 percent to bring their gains for the year to 15 percent.
Much of Asia, however, continued to underperform, in part due to investors shifting funds from emerging markets and into Europe and the United States.
Japan's competitors have also been complaining about the weak yen giving it a trade advantage. South Korea's deputy finance minister warned the yen was falling too fast, and the head of China's National Development and Reform Commission said the impact on neighbours needed to be monitored.
That could have been one reason MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan was only up 0.1 percent, and looked set to dip 0.2 percent for the year.
In stark contrast, Japan's Nikkei has risen 56.7 percent in 2013, its best annual performance since 1972, urged on by aggressive monetary and fiscal stimulus.
There were more promising signs for the economy when the Asahi newspaper reported Japan's most influential business lobby has agreed to encourage its members to raise workers' base pay for the first time in six years.
Many economists say an increase in base pay is essential to Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's pledge to end 15 years of deflation and to help the Bank of Japan meet its 2 percent inflation target.
Aiding the economy has been the fall in the yen this year, which has left it at five-year trough against the dollar and euro.
The dollar was up at 105.36 yen on Monday after reaching a fresh peak at 105.415. The yen has posted ninth consecutive weeks of falls against the dollar, the longest such run since 1974.
The euro was also firm at 144.705 yen, having been as far as 145.67 yen on Friday.
Thin year-end conditions made for some wild moves, with the euro vaulting as high as $1.3892 on Friday before falling back. On Monday, the single currency was somewhat calmer at $1.3740 with offers crowded in the $1.3810/35 area.
The single currency could find further support from comments by European Central Bank President Mario Draghi that he saw no urgent need to cut interest rates again and no signs of deflation.
Financial bookmakers expected Britain's FTSE 100, Germany's DAX and France's CAC 40 to open steady to modestly softer.
Less positive was news that Italy's third-biggest bank, Monte dei Paschi di Siena, was forced to delay a vital 3 billion euro ($4.1 billion) share sale because of shareholder opposition, plunging its turnaround plan into uncertainty.
The world's oldest bank needs to tap investors for cash to pay back state aid and avert nationalisation.
Underpinning both the dollar and euro have been widening yield premiums over Japanese debt.
Yields on the U.S. benchmark 10-year Treasury note have climbed to their highest in more than two years at 3.02 percent. The comparable Japanese yield is just 0.735 percent.
Analysts at RBS note that yields on the 30-year Treasury bond were approaching a hugely important level at 4.05 percent, which marks the top of a bull channel going back two decades. A breach there would be viewed as very bearish for bonds.
In commodity markets, London copper was up at its highest level in four months, with signs of economic revival in Asia and the United States burnishing the demand outlook for industrial metals.
Gold edged down to $1,206 per ounce and was on track for its biggest annual loss in three decades at nearly 30 percent.
Brent crude oil was 46 cents firmer at $112.64 a barrel, while U.S. light sweet crude inched up 5 cents to $100.37 a barrel.

Sheltie Nation member Bob has a heartwarming rescue story to share with all of us!
"On November 7th one of my little guys, Lobo, passed over rainbow bridge after a six week illness. It had gotten to the point of where he started to suffer and I just could not do that to him, no matter what my hurt would be. The vet administered the shot and he went to sleep in my arms…just the way it had to be, ya know?
After getting through the major part of the grief, I started looking through the pages of Petfinder.com.
So many little guys looking for homes, but you look for the one that really hits your heart. Well, one "um-teenth" page number, I find the photo of "Krystal" …white faced back to the front legs, and light sable from there back…she's one of the prettiest Shelties I've ever seen.
Her story was that the lady who owned her had passed away due to heart problems; leaving Krystal to her vet for adoption. But she was in Tennessee and I'm in Ohio. I called to see if anyone had applied for Krystal, and was told "no, not as of yet" and they forwarded copies of their adoption forms. I filled them out right away and returned them, along with photos of my fenced in backyard and photos of my other three Shelties.
Two days later, I got the word that the vet felt that I was just the right person to take care of Krystal – if I was willing to come to Tennessee. So, on December 20th, after leaving "My Boys" off at my groomer's for a one night stay, I was off to Johnson City TN, in my Jeep. After a one night stay in Johnson City, I was up early the next morning and found the "Good News Veterinary Hospital" where I met Krystal.
Well the Petfinder photos just didn't do her justice! The girls there had taken her to the groomer's the day before and this little girl just melted my heart. After standing before me a minute, I got "doggie smooches" up the cheek and across the nose! Yep, kido, we're going home. Well, it was a long ride home and Krystal held on real well until the last twenty minutes of the ride, where she stood up on the seat and stared me down, as if to say "I've had about enough of this ride!" and so had I.
Upon getting her home, and getting My Boys home, she has just fit right in like she has always been part of the family. She is all cuddles and love, just as she looks. Krystal is 10 years old and I wished that she was a bit younger so I would have more time with her, but I will just be appreciative of whatever time she will be with me, as all my dogs.
Bringing Krystal home to the boys and I, has made this past Christmas one of the most special ones of my life."
So please folks, don't be afraid to adopt a Senior Sheltie, they need our love and devotion too!
What a great story Bob…Sheltie Hugs to you for showing how all Shelties should be loved & cherished! She is a lucky girl!

This week, Dr. Oz brought us some tips to help with memory, blood pressure and bone strength. Read on to find the real info behind the good doctor's suggestions.
Vinpocetine: An Extract Of Periwinkle
According to a 1999 study published in the Alternative Medicine Review, vinpocetine may be most useful for the kind of memory problems and dementia found in people whose blood vessels don't bring enough enough blood to their brains.
This type of memory problem is called vascular dementia. Vascular dementia is a common type of dementia and can happen after a stroke, when a blood vessel becomes blocked, or when the aging process, high blood pressure, or atherosclerosis act to narrow blood vessels in the brain.
Vinpocetine dilates blood vessels in the brain, providing hungry brain cells with oxygen. In a study published in the Journal of the American Geriatric Society, vinpocetine improved learning, memory, and global measures of brain performance in people with mild to moderate vascular dementia.
Dr. Oz says the dose is 10mg three times per day.
Hawthorn For Blood Pressure and Cholesterol
Hawthorn may be beneficial for high blood pressure as well as high cholesterol. In a 2006 study, hawthorn lowered blood pressure in a group of diabetics. In a different study with animals, hawthorn performed better than a statin drug in lowering cholesterol when the animals ate a high cholesterol diet.
Dr. Oz's recommended dose is 150mg three times daily.
AlgaeCal: The Super Calcium
AlgaeCal is literally calcium made from Algae. It is better for bones than rock based calcium, as Dr. Oz pointed out. Another name for rock based calcium is calcium carbonate. Caltrate is a well known brand of calcium carbonate. Unlike calcium carbonate, AlgaeCal is porous with many tiny holes and extensive surface area, allowing for easier digestion.
Many calciums, like the calcium carbonate Dr. Oz talked about, take lots of stomach acid to digest. Not everyone has this much stomach acid, especially as we get older. This fact alone accounts for much of the difference in calcium absorption rates.
The bone density research with Algae Cal is promising. A University of Texas study involving postmenopausal women recorded a 2.18% gain in bone density within 6 months of using AlgaeCal.
Vitamin K2
Vitamin K2 is a new player on the bone density field. Vitamin K2 is different from from the regular vitamin K (vitamin K1), which pertains mostly to blood clotting. K2 is a boon for bone density because it turns on proteins that remove calcium from the wrong places, like artery walls, and helps deposit calcium in the right places, like bones. It promotes bone building and slows bone loss.
Vitamin K2 is beneficial both from a bone and a cardiovascular standpoint. Researchers found that 45mcg MK-4 type vitamin K2 prevented additional fractures in patients with osteoporosis.
Vitamin D
Vitamin D is a huge factor for bone density. Vitamin D deficiency is very common and low levels are linked to poor bone density.

text: Lignite Could Solve Turkish Energy ProblemBy Liam Bailey | 18th February 2012 | Property Invest / Turkey Property Turkey has to rely on imported energy sources to meet much of its growing demand, and this is adding to the country's high current account deficit. However research by the Turkish Union of Engineers and Architect's Chambers (TMMOB) shows there may be a possibility of using Turkey's rich lignite resources to generate power. At the moment just 15.4% of electricity production is fuelled by coal and lignite, while 30.6% is generated using natural gas, with hydro-electric plants pulling 32.2%, liquid fuel power stations 2.9%, and wind farms 3.2%. The energy minister, Taner Yildez recently announced that natural gas usage would be reduced to lower the country's dependency on energy imports, and those using domestic lignite to produce electricity would be given special incentives. Limits will be imposed on any future natural gas powered projects. The government's target is to reduce natural gas imports by 20% by 2023 by relying to more green energy like solar panels. Growth for electricity between 2010 and 2011 increased by 9.89%, and the bill for imported coal and natural gas exceeded $50 billion last year. The Istanbul Chamber of Commerce has been researching ways to use lignite for 15 years, and studies show that if it is dried out before being used gas emissions can be cut by 90%. Use of carbon capture and storage systems would prevent some of the emissions from reaching the atmosphere, while the ash is an important component for the cement industry. If utilised properly, lignite usage could produce virtually no greenhouse gas emissions. It's thought more research and development would allow environmentally friendly projects to be developed which could exploit Turkey's rich natural resources, reducing the need for foreign energy.

I had a customer just sent me some pics and a nice review of a D-740 I just shipped to him. He ordered one of the *special* ITT auction tubes with some incredible specs. I can tell you the pictures, (VERY impressive at that), are in NO way as good as your naked will see down the tube.
Ya know, I gotta say this....I've been telling folk for a long time now after my first Raptor vs. D-760 review more than a year ago that pound for pound, the D-760 and the D-740 with a hand-select tube is the best dedicatd NV rifle scope out there for the money! NOTHING has changed since that time. It's an amazing piece of gear that I'm VERY fortuante not only selling them, but using them as well.
You want high performance, you got it! Check these numbers out!
"Evening all! I've had a chance to play with the D-740 for a few days, and thought I would give my first impressions. First let me state what it's used for, and why I selected 4x instead of 6x.
First of all, I'm an out of shape, past middle age rancher. Definitely not a high speed / low drag military or LEO guy (although I do fondly remember those military days!). Instead of hunting bad guys, I hunt varmints.
And as you can guess from my job, rancher, I live in rural America. The nearest town of any size is ~18 miles away, and a large town is ~40 miles away, so the only light I have at night is what Mother Nature supplies. To me, that means I'm more interested in light amplification/gain then Halo.
Typically, my primary targets are feral dogs, hogs, coyotes, and the occasional big cat. The terrain is pastures with treed fence lines, so target recognition is always within 400 yards, with the typical shot being less than 150 yards. Many times the tree line is no more then 200 yards away, so FOV is critical. When hunting coyotes, and especially cats, you don't always have time to "hunt" for the target with your scope. You need to spot your target (I use a Mini-14), transition to your rifle, get the cross hairs on it, and squeeze the trigger.
Since I want a good FOV, and on moonless nights the available light is stars only (remember, I'm rural), the 4x looks better to me then the 6x, hence the selection of the D-740.
So now for my opinion on the scope-
I'm really impressed with the weight, or rather the lack of weight. I had been using a Crusader (Gen 2), and there's no comparison in the weight department.
Size is another plus, this thing is just not that big. Again, it's much better then the Crusader. The Crusader was always a little awkward with the rifle slung, but it's not a problem with the 740.
Sighting the scope in was no problem. The adjustments are positive, with good tactile feedback when turned.
The mount seems to work pretty good. To test return to zero, I dismounted and remounted the scope several times with no appreciable change to point of impact at 100 yards. Having said that, I'm still not convinced the mount will continue to give good service after many mounts/dismounts, so I intend to pick up an ARMS #19 mount and stop worrying about it.
The picture is something to behold! After using Gen 2 for sometime now, the D-740 appears unbelievable to my eyes. The clarity and brightness are something to see on a dark moonless night. The other morning the sky was slightly overcast so no stars were shining through. I turned on my illuminator to scan a field for signs of the cat I had been following, and could pick out a rabbit ~ 200 yards away. About 20 min later I watched a bobcat cross the field about 300 yards away. To me that is truly impressive capability! In both cases I could easily have taken the shot.
I also like the positive nature of the focus. On my Crusader, if you inadvertently bump the focus ring (which happens often when slung) you have to refocus the scope. Not an issue on the 740. The focus knob is on top of the scope, is about the size of the elevation and windage knobs, and has positive clicks to lock the adjustment in. I have yet for the focus to inadvertently move on me. It's also easy to operate with gloves on, as are the on switch and the reticule intensity controls.
I keep comparing the 740 to the Crusader since that's what I have. To set the stage, I want to say the Crusader is not a piece of garbage! It's a effective scope, and has served me very well. It's just the 740 is that much better!
I find I don't particularly care for the shuttered eye guard. It seems it's always a little off center, so consequently I lose some of the sight picture. I talked with Vic about this, and it appears the Magpul PRS stock will go a long ways in correcting the problem. Until I pick up the stock from Vic, I'll use the scope with the eye guard removed.
I really like the amber reticule. It's easy on the eyes, is not distracting like the red, and I see the Mil Dot marks better. After one night of flipping between the two, I've settled on the amber.
I've included a couple of pictures to try and give an idea of how well this scope "sees". The first picture is of some horses taking a late night snack at the hay feeder. The horses are ~80 yards away, and the moon is ~1/4 full. The trees in the background are ~300 yards away.
The second picture is of the entrance to the ranch. I picked this one since it shows the level of detail this scope is capable of. The gate is ~50 yards away.
The final picture is looking out over one of the pastures. The first fence line is probably 200 yards, and the tree line is ~400 - 450 yards.
If there is interest, I plan to take pictures under different lighting conditions and post to the site, and update my impressions as I log more time with the 740.
I have to say though; my first impression is I'm impressed!"

Report Card for the Ole Miss Rebels' 39-0 Victory over TulaneSeptember 24, 2012
Ole Miss shut out Tulane 39-0 at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome this week in New Orleans. This was the first shutout since the 2008 Egg Bowl when Ole Miss defeated the hapless Bulldogs of Mississippi State 45-0. I would like to say that I feel really excited about this Rebel team, and at 3-1, they are right where they want to be heading into SEC play.
But I'm not.
It is really hard for me to give this team a better grade than last week (C-). The defense may have improved, but the secondary was never tested, as true freshman Devin Powell started his first game for Tulane in place of injured senior Ryan Griffin.
Powell's first pass of the day was a 32-yard completed fade route that gave Ole Miss fans fits, but from there on out, Tulane didn't have much time to pass down the field. The D-line and linebackers were very active and looked good against a smaller Tulane team.
The offense really struggled after a shoulder injury to QB Bo Wallace. As a result of the injury, or possibly just a lack of focus, this team was not able to put a scoring drive together for over 20 minutes on Tulane.
This is Tulane, guys!
I don't know how you can spin this game into a positive heading into Alabama week, but truthfully, even if Ole Miss was playing lights out right now, they would still not be close to ready for a team like Alabama. And that is OK, we just need to see improvement from this Rebel team.
This Week's Grade: C+
Running Backs: B
Another 300-yard game on the ground for the Rebels. Five players had over 30 yards rushing, and 10 different players racked up rushing stats this week. Barry Brunetti led Ole Miss with 67 total rushing yards, as a lot of players got some work this week. If not for a fumble by Mackey, this may have been an A effort.
Offensive Line: B
The ground game is as ready as it can be for Alabama, which is not the same as saying the team is ready for Alabama. The O-line racked up another SEC honor, as sophomore left guard Aaron Morris was named SEC Offensive Lineman of the Week.
Ole Miss continues to lead the SEC in rushing at 259.8 yards per game and is the 11th -best team nationally.
Quarterbacks: D
Bo Wallace getting injured against Tulane is a big problem for this young Rebel team. Ole Miss becomes very one-dimensional without a healthy Bo Wallace. Barry Brunetti came in and did an adequate job in Wallace's absence, but the team really needed to work on the vertical passing game leading up to a matchup with Alabama, and staying healthy was at a premium. Ole Miss did neither after the first quarter of the Tulane game.
Given that Wallace has a minor injury, would you play him, or let him sit and get ready for Texas A&M? I would let him sit.
Defensive Line: C
You can't be disappointed in a defense that only gave up 14 yards rushing, but Ole Miss only recorded five tackles for loss, only three sacks and the defensive unit gave up 10-of-16 third-down conversions. Granted, a lot of second- and third-string players saw the field this week, but those are less-than-stellar marks against Tulane, which is arguably the worst offense in college football.
The Big Picture
This was supposed to be a feel-better game for Ole Miss coming off the Texas game, which was one of the worst defensive efforts in Ole Miss' history. You had a Tulane team that was reeling, dealing with injuries to an already bad team. You needed to play a complete game and really get in a lot of productive work as an offense and a defense.
It just doesn't look like that happened for Ole Miss this week. There are still a lot of questions on this team. How bad is Wallace's shoulder? Is the defensive secondary any better after a lot of position changes were made? Can the smallish linebackers survive an SEC schedule?
These questions are all about to be answered quickly for Ole Miss this week. I think Ole Miss can take some positives away from this game but objectively, they are a long way away from where the Ole Miss coaching staff wants to be.

Javier Pastore's brilliant individual goal in stoppage time put the gloss on Paris St Germain's 3-1 Champions League quarter-final first leg win over Chelsea on Wednesday to leave the French side favourites to reach the last four.
The Argentine, on as a late substitute, cut in from the byline, evading a number of Chelsea defenders before beating keeper Petr Cech at his near post.
It prompted incredulous Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho to label the goal "a joke" in his post-game news conference.
PSG, boosted by an inspired display from another Argentine - Ezequiel Lavezzi - could be without talismanic striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic for next week's return at Stamford Bridge after the Swede trudged off clutching his right thigh 20 minutes from time.
Ibrahimovic was substituted minutes after David Luiz had turned into his own net from a freekick to put PSG 2-1 up.
"He felt some pain in his muscle, we'll check in detail tomorrow. It's an injury that will require some time of rest," PSG coach Laurent Blanc told French TV.
Ligue 1 leaders PSG went ahead in the fourth minute when Lavezzi shot high into the roof off the net after controlling a weak John Terry clearance.
Eden Hazard equalised in the 27th from the penalty spot and the Belgian also struck the post in the first half.
"I think from a strategic point of view the team showed great discipline," Mourinho, whose team are second in the Premier League, said.
"But we made defensive mistakes so we paid the price."
Ibrahimovic, who has scored 10 goals in the competition this season but has yet to win the tournament, was unusually quiet with the Sweden striker outshone by the impressive Lavezzi.
'Ibra', who exhanged words of respect and admiration with Mourinho, his coach at Inter Milan in 2008-09, before the game, failed to sparkle.
Paris St Germain are sweating over Zlatan Ibrahimovic's fitness ahead of Tuesday's Champions League quarter-final return leg at Chelsea after the Sweden striker picked up a thigh injury on Wednesday.
Talisman Ibrahimovic, who failed to sparkle as PSG won the first leg 3-1 at the Parc des Princes, was substituted after 69 minutes holding his right thigh.
"It's a muscular problem," PSG coach Laurent Blanc told a news conference, adding that Ibrahimovic would undergo medical checks on Thursday.
"He wanted to continue to play but it was not reasonable. I hope he will be back as soon as possible. It's part of the game."
Ibrahimovic, who has scored 10 goals in this season's Champions League and 25 in the French league, had few opportunities against Chelsea.
But Ezequiel Lavezzi scored the opener and forced David Luiz into conceding an own goal with a well taken free kick in the second half.
"He brings depth and speed," said Blanc.
For Chelsea, Andre Schuerrle started at the expense of Fernando Torres, a clear signal that the London club had not travelled to Paris with an attacking mindset.
With Gregory van der Wiel out injured, Christophe Jallet was handed the task of containing Hazard on Chelsea's left flank.
Cech's 100th Champions League appearance got off to the worst possible start as Terry headed a Blaise Matuidi cross into the path of Lavezzi, who sent a stinging half volley back past the Czech keeper high into the roof of the net on four minutes.
Ramires picked up a yellow card in the 12th minute after he brought down Lavezzi who was speeding down his left flank on a swift PSG counter attack but the French side could not ram home their early advantage.
Thiago Silva's uncharacteristic mistake handed Chelsea the chance to equalise.
The Brazil centre back brought down Oscar with an ill-timed lunge and Hazard wrong footed Salvatore Sirigu to level with the resulting penalty.
The goal rocked PSG and the impressive Hazard went close to a second when he met Willian's cross with a low left-foot volley across goal from a tight angle which thudded against the base of the post.
Edinson Cavani was convinced he should have been awarded a penalty on the stroke of halftime after tangling with Gary Cahill but his protests were waved away.
Lavezzi, who also had a chance in the first half with a fine volley on the turn, came close again with a powerful header that went over the bar.
It was from his curling free kick that Luiz deflected into his own net with the Brazilian close to his own goalline.
PSG stayed in control after Ibrahimovic left the pitch and Edinson Cavani went close with a curling shot before Pastore ignited raucous celebrations.
There seemed little room for manoeuvre after he received a throw-in but he turned away from Cesar Azpilicueta, evaded Frank Lampard and Terry and then beat Cech with a low strike.
Scuffles briefly erupted between PSG and Chelsea fans in central Paris before the game, with police reporting one injury.
PSG 3 (Lavezzi 4" Luiz OG 61" Pastore 93") Chelsea 1 (Hazard 27")
Chelsea paid the price for being complacent against a sharp Paris St. Germain side and in the end went down 3-1 in the first-leg of the Champions League quarter-finals at the Parc des Princes on Wednesday night.
Chelsea's David Luiz was the culprit scoring an own goal to give PSG the lead after the Blues had done well to hold the French League champions 1-1 until the 60th minute.
And just as the match was heading to a close Javier Pastore, who came in for the injured Zlatan Ibrahimovic, more than made up for his brief presence on the field by catching the Chelsea defence napping with a solo run that even had Petr Cech dumbstruck as he placed the ball to the near post.
That goal could prove crucial when they play Chelsea at Stamford Bridge next week.
Earlier, PSG tasted first blood when Ezequiel Lavezzi netted in the 4th minute, but Chelsea came back strongly after Hazard scored from the penalty spot when Thiago Silva brought down Oscar in the box.
90+3" GOAL! Pastore coming off the bench catches the Chelsea defence napping and with a solo run scores.
PSG 3 (Lavezzi 4" Luiz OG 61" Pastore 93") Chelsea 1 (Hazard 27")
90+1" PSG earn a corner and come close to adding to their tally but Silva and Motta miss.
88" Two minutes to go with a few minutes of injury time and PSG look like sealing the match.
85" YELLOW! Too many in this game as Cavani and Luiz are now booked.
84" Lavezzi makes his way out to a round of applause and is replaced by Pastore.
83" Cavani's best moment comes and he gives it his best shot but it just misses the target
82" YELLOW! Thiago Motta concedes an unnecessary free-kick and earns a yellow.
80" Ten minutes to go. Will Chelsea's goal be enough and will they go on the defensive or will they press for the equaliser?
77" Cavani looks out of sorts. Neither is at the right place at the right time nor his shots lack any power or placement.
73" Fantastic work by Lucas Moura who just came in for Ibra but Cavani made a mess after being put through with only Cech in sight.
72" Lampard gets to make his 100th Champions League appearance after Oscar is removed.
70" Twenty minutes to go and Chelsea are pressing for an equaliser but Sirigu shows a safe pair of hands.
65" Scare for PSG as Ibra limps off with a hamstring injury.
61" GOAL! David Luiz will be kicking himself. First he gave away a stupid free-kick and then ended up putting the ball in his own net from a goalmouth melee.
PSG 2 (Lavezzi 4" Luiz OG 61") Chelsea 1 (Hazard 27")
58" PSG are holding on to the ball but Chelsea look stubborn.
56" Torres is finally in. Will he make a difference as he replaces Schurrle who failed to make any impact.
52" Midfield action on at the moment after 10 minutes since the breathe
49" Lavezzi's header of a Matuidi cross sails just over the crosspiece as his teammates on the bench anticipating a goal almost jump in jubilation.
47" Ramires is living dangerously here. He's lucky he got off with this one as he shoves Cavani in the face. He already misses the next match.
PSG 1 (Lavezzi 4") Chelsea 1 (Hazard 27")
Chelsea scored through a penalty to hold Paris St Germain 1-1 at half-time in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals at the Parc des Princes on Wednesday night.
The penalty was awarded to the English club after Thiago Silva brought down Oscar in the box and Hazard scored from the spot in the 27th minute after Ezequiel Lavezzi gave Laurent Blanc's side a superb start with a goal in the fourth minute.
PSG had the major share of the exchanges for the first part although Zlatan Ibrahimovic was not much in the frame but Chelsea came into their own in the latter half and if they can hold PSG to a draw at the end it wil be a big morale booster for them in their home match next week.42" PSG feel they have been denied a penalty after Cavani is brought down by Terry. However it looked as if he slipped in the box.
40" Chelsea seem to have the measure of PSG now and Hazard was unlucky not to find the net after his left footer beat an outstretched Sirigu but hit the post.
36" Hazard is all over the place, falling back to help the defence, blending well with the midfielders and then also ready to pounce on any loose ball in the PSG goal area.
32" YELLOW! It's Willian this time who is shown the card for preventing another PSG breakaway.
31" Jallet does well on the right flank and floats it into the box. Zlatan goes for a hearder but misses and the ball lands at Lavezzi's feet. With his back to the goal he tries to score but his shot lacks power.
27" GOAL! Hazard scores from the penalty spot after Silva brought Oscar down in the box.
PSG 1 (Lavezzi 4") Chelsea 1 (Hazard 27")
23" A superb counter-attack which began with Ibrahimovic had Lavezzi moving closer to goal only to find the side net.
21" Chelsea doing well to push PSG on the back foot. They just need one striker to give them that edge as Thiago Silva stands tall in defence for PSG.
18" YELLOW! Alex brings down Ramires and is rightly booked.
15" Poor effort there from David Luiz, his weak left footer going easily into the hands of Sirigu.
11" YELLOW! Ramires is cautioned with a yellow for bringing down Lavezzi who looked good to go all the way and score. Ramires will miss the second leg.
8" Hazard is trying to make inroads but Cavanni falls back to prevent any danger. On the right flank Oscar has a shy but with no effect.
4" GOAL! Ezequiel Lavezzi puts hosts PSG in front after a poor clearance by Terry.
PSG 1 (Lavezzi 4") Chelsea 0
PSG are set to get the game started which they do in front of their home crowd.
A loud roar greets the players as they come out into the middle.
Countdown begins with just five minutes to go as the players are back in the tunnel.
Kick-off in Paris is just 10 minutes away.
We are just 15 minutes away from a cracker of a match.
Hugs all round as Jose Mourinho has a stop-and-chat with his former players Zlatan and Thiago Motta. Motta won the big trophy with Jose in 2010 for Inter and starts in midfield for the Parisians tonight.
Both teams limber up on the field with the cameramen chasing the player they think could make the difference. Yes, it's Zlatan Ibrahomovic who is the centre of attraction at the Parc des Princes.
Chelsea coach Jose Mourinho has surprisingly left Frank Lampard and Fernando Torres on the bench and has gone ahead with Schurrle and Willian, while Zlatan will lead the hosts' line alongside record signing Edinson Cavani.
Chelsea: Cech, Ivanovic, Azpilicueta, David Luiz, Cahill, Terry, Willian, Ramires, Schurrle, Oscar, Hazard.
Subs: Lampard, Torres, Mikel, Ba, Schwarzer.
PSG: Sirigu, Jallet, Maxwell, Motta, Alex, Thiago Silva, Verratti, Matuidi, Ibrahimovic, Cavani, Lavezzi.
Subs: Douchez, Cabaye, Marquinhos, Digne, Rabiot.
Referee: Milorad Mazic (Serbia).
Fernando Torres is likely to start up front for Chelsea's Champions League last-eight first leg against Paris St. Germain with Samuel Eto'o injured.
Eto'o has not recovered from a hamstring injury sustained in the 6-0 win over Arsenal on March 22.
Left-back Ashley Cole is out with a knee injury while Nemanja Matic and Mohamed Salah are cup-tied.
PSG have a slight doubt over defender Thiago Silva who is likely to play in a mask after fracturing a cheekbone.
Chelsea have kept a clean sheet in 5 of their last 7 matches in the Champions League (including qualifiers).
Chelsea have been winning at both half time and full time in 5 of their last 7 matches in the Champions League (including qualifiers).
PSG are undefeated in 15 of their last 16 matches in the Champions League (including qualifiers).
There have been under 2.5 goals scored in Chelsea's last 4 games in the Champions League (including qualifiers).
Paris Saint-Germain are in the best possible form of their lives.
And why not, in Zlatan Ibrahimovic they have the world's best striker who could be spoken about in the same breath as Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.
The Swede, with 40 goals in all competitions, towers head and shoulders above the rest by setting a club record.
And, with goals coming from those big boots thick and fast, Chelsea will have to find ways to keep him quiet as the two clubs clash tonight in the first-leg of the Champions League quarter-finals at the Parc des Princes.
Aware of Ibra's shooting prowess from any angle, the Chelsea coach made no secret of the players he will task with keeping the tall and strapping striker under wraps when he named his back four and goalkeeper in advance.
"(Petr) Cech, (Branislav) Ivanovic, (Gary) Cahill, (John) Terry, (Cesar) Azpilicueta," will do duty," he said with a smile.
Mourinho categorically stated on Tuesday that Ibra will be remembered as one of the game's greatest players despite never gracing the English Premier League.
With the title at home slowly slipping away from Chelsea's grasp - they lost to Crystal Palace on Saturday - the Portuguese coach is now focusing on the Champions League but is aware that his task is cut out what with Samuel Eto'o sidelined due to hamstring injury.
However, Mourinho's experience at this level is second to none, and that could give the English club the edge.
The Chelsea coach won the European Cup with Porto in 2004 and Inter in 2010 and if he can do the same with Chelsea he would become the first coach to win it with three different clubs.
A man with words, Mourinho was quick to put the ball in PSG's court by saying they have some of the best players in the world. "They are big, big, big candidates," he said.
"It's a team full of fantastic strikers and goalscorers and that is what makes the difference at this level."

Definitely our news of the day: a blind Belgian has set a new speed record with a Lamborghini Gallardo doing 308.78km/h or 192 mph. Awesome!
Belgian Luc Costermans has broken the world blind road speed record, on an airstrip in France.
Mr Costermans topped 308.78km/h (192 mph) while driving a Lamborghini Gallardo supercar at Istres, near Marseille, in southern France.
Mr Costermans thanked his co-pilot Guillaume Roman, saying: ""I'm very, very happy. It's a team effort."

A Republican Congressman told CNN on June 27 that the "evidence is clear" that Iraq was involved in the terrorist attacks against the United States on September 11, 2001. Although his story is a contradiction to President Bush's 911 commission, the Congressman told reporters, "you must have looked in the wrong places."
It isn't clear where the Congressman got his information. But Bush's 9/11 commission report said investigators found no evidence that any "contacts ever developed into a collaborative operational relationship." Read full story at CNN.
But in his June 28 address, the President linked Iraq and al Qaeda. An online analysis of the reasons the President flip-flopped was published Andrew McCarthy of NRO, along with a call for escalation of the war. Apparently more war is also what al-Qaeda wants, so this appears to be a happy resolution for the warriors. A Chinook helicopter was downed on June 26, killing 17 U.S. troops, while 270 Taliban fighters have been killed since March.
McCarthy's credentials are that he is the online journalist who revealed that Karl Rove is a prophet.
Today's Republican government is as much an evangelical movement as it is a government. It is Republicanism, the New Crusades, the ultimate Jihad against Satan (also known as Saddam).
At least one U.S. citizen in the United States corroborated the Congressman's story. This was a Washington state high school student who wrote a letter to a local newspaper a few weeks before the Iraq war began.

2013 Fantasy Football Profile and Projection: Browns WR Josh GordonJuly 18, 2013
Cleveland Browns wide receiver Josh Gordon had an excellent rookie season, but things should be even better for him in his second season.
Last season, Gordon was one of three rookies with 800-plus receiving yards along with Justin Blackmon and T.Y. Hilton, and he led the Browns in both yards (805) and receiving touchdowns (five).
Considering that Gordon last played college football in 2010 as he sat out the 2011 season after failing multiple drug tests at Baylor and then transferring to Utah, the feat is even more impressive.
With an uncommon blend of size (6'4", 220 lbs) and speed (once recorded a time in the 4.3 range at Baylor), Gordon is one of the league's better big-play receivers and was tied for eighth last season in yards per reception (16.1) with Carolina's Steve Smith and Detroit's Calvin Johnson.
In the middle of the season (Games 5 through 13), Gordon was even better. During that nine-game stretch, he had 35 receptions for 639 yards, which was 15th-best in the NFL, and five touchdowns. Among the 17 players to have at least 600 receiving yards during that span, his yards-per-reception average of 18.26 was second behind only Vincent Jackson.
Extrapolating those numbers over a full 16-game season would have given him an average of 62 receptions for 1,136 yards and nine touchdowns.
Suspended For Weeks 1 and 2; Full-Year Suspension Next?
Of course, you know that Gordon won't play 16 games this year (unless you count the preseason or if the Browns make the postseason). Earlier this offseason, he was suspended for two games and docked four game checks for violating the league's substance-abuse policy.
Per Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal, Gordon claims that he had been prescribed an antibiotic and cough medicine containing codeine, which is a banned substance.
The biggest risk with anyone drafting Gordon in your fantasy league(s) is that his next failed drug test could lead to a full-year suspension, per Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
In addition, Tony Grossi of ESPN Cleveland recently wrote that since the end of last season, Gordon has "gravitated to South Beach [...] and ran with a different crowd. He was influenced by the wrong people."
If you're a glass-half-full guy, the suspension (and risk of a full-year ban) means that Gordon will cost you much less on draft day than he otherwise would have.
Positive Buzz on the Field
Before the suspension, Cabot tweeted that Browns quarterback Brandon Weeden said that Gordon "has the ability to be a top 3 receiver in this league."
A month ago, Grossi wrote the following in his assessment of the team's roster: "Josh Gordon has the most physical ability of any player on the roster. The only thing that can stop him from being an elite player this year is himself."
Under new offensive coordinator Norv Turner, the Browns will push the ball down the field as his offense has historically done. Based on stats from this post by Football Perspective, a Turner-coached team has had a wide receiver finish in the top 10 in yards per reception in all but two years since 1987.
ADP and Outlook
Based on average draft position (ADP) from Fantasy Football Calculator, Gordon is going in the eighth round and is the 38th wide receiver, on average, off the board.
There is certainly risk with Gordon, but he will miss Weeks 1 and 2 when there are no byes and you should have plenty of wide receiver depth and options to fill his spot. Once he returns, however, he has a chance to be a top-20 fantasy (or better) WR from Weeks 3-16 provided he stays healthy and out of trouble.
2013 Stat Projection: 60 Receptions, 1,092 Receiving Yards, 8 TDs
