Taiwan's annual gross domestic product (GDP) will increase by an estimated 1.72 percent if Taiwan and China sign an economic cooperation framework agreement (ECFA), the Ministry of Economic Affairs.
The Ministry of Economic Affairs used the standard GTAP Model, a global computable general equilibrium model that is widely used by major countries around the world in measuring the impact of forming a free trade area with major trading partners.
Taiwan hopes to sign an economic cooperation framework agreement (ECFA) , similar to a free trade agreement, with China as soon as possible, Minister of Economic Affairs Shih Yen-shiang said Thursday, Oct 15, 2009.
"We expect the proposed ECFA accord can be signed next year, but if the goal can be reached earlier, it would be more than welcome, " Shih said, while fielding questions at a Legislative Yuan committee meeting.
Officials from both sides of the Taiwan Strait will hold a fourth round of informal talks on the ECFA deal late this month and formal talks are expected to get underway later this year.
Taiwan has been pushing for the trade agreement with China, its largest export market, fearing it could be marginalized when the Asean +3 start removing the tariffs.
Taiwan's Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA) will handle the issue of naming the economic cooperation agreement which the island hopes to sign with China, Mainland Affairs Council Deputy Chairman Liu Te-shun
Taiwan has called it an "economic cooperation framework agreement (ECFA) " while China has called it a "cross-strait economic cooperation agreement" without the word framework.
The Washington Post reported in Feb, 2009 on the beginning of free trade talks between China and Taiwan
If Taiwan fails to strike an ECFA deal with China, its economic growth rate could fall by 0.176 percentage points after the free trade agreement between China and ASEAN countries takes effect next year.
Once "ASEAN plus 3" becomes a reality, with which China, Japan and South Korea forming a free trade area with ASEAN countries, Taiwan's annual GDP growth rate might see an even bigger drop of 0.836 percent, the CIER report conjectured.
As to how the ministry will promote the ECFA project, Yiin said the proposed pact will only outline negotiation goals and timeframes for reaching each policy goal or cooperation project in a gradual manner in order to minimize any possible negative impact on local industries.

copper phthalocyanine
Phthalo Blues are pure and clean primary blues with superior covering power. They have a very high tinting strength and tend to overwhelm other pigments, but if color strength can be controlled, they make predictable mixed colors. In oil form, blues are very deep and slow drying. When mixed with other colors or if chlorine is added, Phthalo Blue quickly tends towards green. When using alone, mix with some white, as Phthalo Blue can be semi-transparent and almost black on its own. It is among the most compatible of modern colors with mineral colors and is considered more reliable than Prussian Blue, while sharing the same physical and color properties. Phthalo Blue is a good color for glazing.
Phthalo Blues are completely lightfast and stable and are permanent for all paint uses. They are currently used in inks, coatings, and many plastics due to their stability and are considered a standard pigment in printing ink and the packaging industry.
Phthalo Blues have no significant hazards, although those made before 1982 contained some PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls).
Developed by chemists using the trade name Monastral Blue, the organic blue dyestuff now known as Phthalo Blue was presented as a pigment in November 1935 in London. Its discovery was accidental. The dark color was observed in a kettle where a dye was being made from a British dyestuff plant. The demand for such a pigment came from commercial printers who wanted a cyan to replace Prussian Blue.

This Hansa yellow is a transparent yellow. It has great brightness and tinting strength and its drying time ranges from average to slow.
Hansa Yellow makes more intense tints and cleaner secondaries than Cadmium Yellows, especially when mixed with other organic or modern colors like Phthalo Blue and Green. Because they are more transparent, they have great value as glazing colors.
Hansa Yellow G has good permanence and lightfastness, particularly in the lighter shades.
Hansa Yellow pigments have no significant acute hazards, though chronic hazards have not been well studied.
Hansa Yellows were first made in Germany just before World War I from a series of synthetic dyestuffs called Pigment Yellow. Hansa Yellow G, introduced in 1910, was the first of these products to be commercialized. Hansa Yellow G was the standard yellow for printing inks until late in the 20th century, when stronger diarylide yellows began to replace it. It is still used a great deal in packaging, and for air drying paints.

The Alexandre Giroux press release says he signed with Hershey. The Washington Post says he signed a one-year, two-way deal with the Capitals.
To me, it makes a difference. A guy like that signs an AHL deal and he's a ringer. He signs an NHL two-way and he's an organizational depth player. Giroux did, after all, play 12 games in Washington last year. That's not nothing.
Anyone know?
EDIT: I've got my answer. It's a two-way with Washington. Apparently, the Bears frequently word their press releases that way.

Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast has highlighted Iran's defense capabilities, saying that the country would respond forcefully to any foreign attack.
"At the moment, Iran has the greatest defense capability in its history. Whoever wants to attack our country will meet with our very firm response," Mehmanparast said.
He added that Iran's opponents are well aware of this fact and this has seriously diminished the possibility of war.
"Our adversary completely understands that should it attack our country, it will itself become the subject of a great tragedy. This is why the possibility of war is very, very weak," Mehmanparast noted.
The Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman also criticized the West over the sanctions it has imposed on Iran over its nuclear energy program, describing them as "completely illegal and unjustified because our nation has not committed any crime."
He played down the effect of sanctions on the Iranian economy and pointed out that they have made Iran "increasingly self-sufficient in many economic sectors" and boosted its economy.
"If we were to make light of it, we could thank the US and European states for imposing sanctions because they have actually spurred economic growth," Mehmanparast noted, adding, "When growth in many Western countries is either negative or around zero, in Iran we have 6.2 percent growth in GDP."

- Associated Press
- January 18, 2013 - 12:31 PM
JOHANNESBURG - A South African government official says two prisoners were killed and 65 injured when a fight broke out between two gangs.
Regional commissioner Nkosinathi Breakfast said 17 of the injured were taken to the hospital. He said the prisoners were using "all sorts of objects" in the battle.
Breakfast said 2,083 prisoners — all awaiting trial — are held at St. Albans prison in the eastern city of Port Elizabeth. He said some have been there longer than five years.

Pam Parker, co-founder of Opponents of Ohio Bans, speaks to a group at Somerset Hall last night. The group is urging business owners affected by the state smoking ban to rally support for a legislative effort to modify the ban.
Jetta Fraser Enlarge
Nearly two years after voters passed Ohio's smoking ban, some Toledo area business owners and private club officials are backing a legislative effort to exempt some bars and other establishments.
Ohio's draconian smoking ban has financially hurt bars, private clubs, and other businesses, said Pam Parker, co-founder of Opponents of Ohio Bans.
A drop in wholesale liquor sales, closures, and other ill effects are proving it to lawmakers, she added.
"If we don't get our businesses back as business owners, we're not going to have anything," Ms. Parker told about 75 people during a meeting last night in Sommerset Hall, 2458 Tremainsville Rd. "This is our last shot," she said.
Bill Delaney of Delaney's Lounge says business owners might stage a Columbus rally when the legislature returns.
Opponents of the smoking ban long have held that voters were confused by the ballot's wording, which led them to believe family-owned businesses and private clubs would be exempt.
Two bills were introduced in June in the state legislature to exempt more businesses from the smoking ban, which prohibits smoking in most establishments.
The Ohio Senate version - which would allow smoking in family-owned businesses, private clubs that are nonprofit, and all outdoor patios - has a better chance of approval, said Pat Carroll, president of the Buckeye Liquor Permit Holders Association.
The Senate bill defines family-owned business as those that are not publicly owned or traded; have a president or chief operating officer from the family who has controlling interest, and are located in free-standing structures or separated from other businesses by firewalls.
The other bill, introduced in the House, would exempt stand-alone bars from the smoking ban.
Stand-alone bars must not be located within or share common entrances with enclosed areas where smoking is prohibited, and they cannot derive more than 10 percent of gross revenues from food sales, the House bill says.
Smoking ban opponent Bill Delaney, owner of Delaney's Lounge in West Toledo, said the groups may organize a rally in Columbus after the legislature is back in session.
He asked those attending last night's meeting to start gathering signatures in support of the Senate bill. "We need to get the truth out," Mr. Delaney said. "We have to let people know exactly what's going on."
He added: "We need everyone behind us. We need more and more behind us."
Ms. Parker said public health groups first went after smoking, which is weeding out the number of bars. Their next targets will be alcoholism and obesity, further hurting bars and other establishments, she said.
She also questioned the motivation of the nonprofit Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, which has spent hundreds of millions of dollars to fund smoking bans. It also is one of the biggest institutional shareholders in Johnson & Johnson, which makes smoking cessation patches, she said. "How has this been allowed?" Ms. Parker asked.

The recent event hosted by Rep. James R. Langevin, D-R.I., and the Rhode Island Small Business Development Center on June 25 at the Johnson & Wales University Culinary Arts Museum to help small businesses was an excellent effort to highlight and spur the development of new, innovative business ideas.
Driving the gathering was the release of new requirements and attributes for the federal Small Business Innovative Research Program. Among them: It's bigger in terms of dollars, broader in terms of scope, more flexible in terms of corporate structure, and it's longer in terms of guaranteed duration. It also has added items to help small businesses get involved in government contracting ($5,000 extra on initial awards to get your company equipped to receive a Phase II award for up to $1 million).
The SBIR and other government-funded programs that focus on assisting entrepreneurs can be an effective tool to promote economic development. As a state that continues to struggle in this economic downturn, we must encourage its public officials and the business community to seek out every chance and any opportunity for growth and innovation.
At one time, Rhode Island was a leader in this program. This event was a great first step in making sure Rhode Island companies understand how to access and navigate the bureaucratic maze than often frustrates even the most eager entrepreneur.
The presence of Sean Greene, the U.S. Small Business Administration's associate administrator for investment and special adviser for innovation, was particularly valuable at this event, in order to facilitate a Washington, D.C., point of contact for small businesses. Kudos to Rep. Langevin for bringing him to the event and sharing his experience and ideas on accessing SBIR funds.
Yet this seminar needs to lead to the most vital step in re-energizing Rhode Island's governmental agencies. These agencies have to illuminate for businesses their requirements for innovation and solutions.

Thread: Ted Kennedy is a vile POS
Results 21 to 30 of 98
gatorGuest05-29-2008, 09:10 AM
You got that right, Babe.
He is one of the most despicable figures in American politics. The friggin asshole has done more damage to this country with his commie agenda than almost anybody else. He is squarely in the back pocket of some very filthy special interest groups.
The headaches he gets from his affliction will be scant payback for the pain he has caused many Americans. Because of that asshole I have had to pay more taxes in my lifetime and have been denied some of my Constitutional rights to keep and bear arms. I for one hope the sonofabitch rots in Hell, as he surely will for the chickenshit actions on the bridge.
SonnabendGuest05-29-2008, 09:15 AMHe has shaped your lives.
Use of the term murderer does not necessarily imply intent nor does it imply premeditation. For example, many would call someone who killed someone else while drunk driving (like Ted did) a murderer even though we all know that drunk drivers don't kill people with intent. Therefore, your comparison of those who call Ted a murderer to truthers simply does not hold water.
It's pretty obvious that Vast Teddy let her die while seeking to cover his own ass. And chances are, had he been an ordinary citizen, not a Kennedy, that he would've faced charges and been convicted.
05-29-2008, 11:34 AMIn Pittsburgh, the late Myron Cope was universally beloved as a sports commentator. Over the past several years, Mark Madden has become Copes heir from a profile standpoint. The difference, however, is that to the extent Madden was going for a Cosellian love-hate shtick, more people seemed to hate Madden than love him. (If Maddens goal was to be loved, picking a fight with a beloved local figure like Steelers receiver Hines Ward didnt help.)
Folks in the Burgh have the opportunity to neither hate nor love Madden, at least for now.
Madden has been permanently removed from his ESPN Radio show in Pittsburgh, due to inflammatory (and unfunny) remarks he made last week about Senator Ted Kennedy. Said Madden: Im very disappointed to hear Sen. Ted Kennedy of Massachusetts is near death because of a brain tumor. I always hoped Senator Kennedy would live long enough to be assassinated.

Some of you do realize its cowardly to kick someone when theyre down, right?
gatorGuest05-29-2008, 12:13 PM
Do you know how cowardly it was for the sonofabitch to run away from the drowing girl just because he didn't want to explain what the hell he was doing there?
I have been kicking the sorry asshole for a long time and I am not going to let up now. He is such a vile person that he doesn't deserve to be given a break just because he is sick. He and others will be using his aliment to further the Left Wing agenda one way or another so piss on him.

"Judge Edmund M. Reggie, Former Tulane Board Member
Milestones in Politics
Winfield, Louisiana is the hometown of former Louisiana governors Huey and Earl Long and the site of the Louisiana Political Museum and Hall of Fame, where on January 31, 2004 Edmund M. Reggie was inducted alongside other notables that include the former governor of Louisiana, Edwin W. Edwards [1]. The museum honors "sinners and saints alike" and recognizes individuals on the basis of their political impact. Reggie, an attorney, judge, businessman, banker, real estate investor, civic leader, and convicted felon was also an important political operative [2].
Among the considerations that may have influenced Reggie's relatively light sentence were his close ties to prominent political figures that included Louisiana Governors Earl K. Long, Jimmie Davis, and Edwin W. Edwards, President and Mrs. John Kennedy, President and Mrs. Bill Clinton, and Massachusetts Senator Edward Kennedy [7]. In 1992, Senator Kennedy and Reggie's daughter, Victoria, a Washington, DC attorney specializing in banking law, were married on the 3rd of July at Kennedy's home in McLean, Virginia, both for the second time [28,29].http://www.tulanelink.com/tulanelink/reggie_box.htm

Personal Genealogy Day
I worked on my fabulously awesome, fully-sourced database. For the new readers, I started building a genealogy database from scratch in 2009. The only rule was that every fact or person I added had to have a source and citation attached to it. The work has been slow going, but it is worth it.
On Friday I worked on adding the Charles Neilson Jones family. He is the brother of my great-great grandfather, Frank Wiley Jones. While my Frank married a Chickasaw and moseyed up to Oklahoma, Charles raised a family in Cooke County, Texas. He spent so much time there that he wrote a book about it: Early Days in Cooke, Texas 1848-1873.
Here's a picture of Charles:
He looks a lot like his brother Frank, don't you think?
Charles and his wife had 10 kids. I spent most of this weekend adding facts about them to my database.
Know what I like best about this timeline? All those checkmarks on the right.
That means that there is a source for each and every fact for Charles Jones in my database. It is a good feeling.
Since Charles had 10 kids and it takes a while to add facts and sources for each child, I'm not even halfway through getting all these people fully represented in my database. But at least it's a start.
Charles even has a prominent grandchild worthy of note. I spent an hour just reading about her on the Internet. Who is she? Well she deserves her own post so you'll just have to wait and see.
11 comments:
Woohoo! Cooke Co., Texas! My great grandfather's uncles lived there in the 1880s through the early 1900s. It's on my list as a place to visit. I'm curious about a letter about one of them, he was a rock mason and the letter said he built "concrete cellars" and they were a monument to him as they could be seen all over the area and that there was one in the writer's yard. (Gainesville 1961). Hmmmm..concrete cellars. Sounds interesting...sorta.
ReplyDelete- Larry HibbertMarch 14, 2011 at 2:29 PM
Amy, I too am starting a new database. I wasn't happy with the conversion from Family Tree maker 6 to 2011. So I am learning the new program bye building the new database. Sources are just time consuming. I am still doing the research but in the old program for awhile until I get better at it. Thanks for your blog.
ReplyDelete Larry, I'm doing it the same way. I have a private tree on Ancestry that's my working wall. I continue to use it to poke around, make new discoveries and iron out hunches.
Most of the facts in my new database are things I already know. It's just a matter of moving them and creating the source citation.
Thanks for reading my blog and leaving a comment!

White Faces Sentencing On 6 Felony Charges Attorney Moves To Have Convictions Reduced 10:25 AM, Feb 23, 2012 Share Article Charlie White Copyright 2013 Scripps Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed. Show Caption Hide Caption Previous Next Indiana's top elections official faced a final shot at regaining his office Thursday when his attorney planned to ask a judge to reduce each of his six felony convictions to misdemeanors.Secretary of State Charlie White, 42, was scheduled to be sentenced Thursday afternoon on voter fraud, perjury, theft and other charges by Hamilton Superior Court Judge Steven Nation.Defense attorney Carl Brizzi said he would ask that each of the charges be reduced to misdemeanors so White could hold onto his job, but one legal expert said Nation is likely to reject that request.Joel Schumm, an expert on Indiana's judiciary who teaches at the Indiana University McKinney School of Law in Indianapolis, said it's not uncommon for a judge to reduce a first-time class D felony to a misdemeanor, but the circumstances in White's case make that improbable."I have not seen it happen in a case with more than one felony, and the six felony convictions against White make it very unlikely," Schumm wrote in an email. "The nature of his offenses -- crimes involving fraud and perjury -- and his status as an elected official and lawyer suggest a reduction is especially unlikely."Each of the charges White was convicted of is a class D felony carrying a penalty of six months to three years in prison.Under Indiana law, a public official found guilty of a felony is forced from office, and that happened to White on Feb. 4 when the jury convicted him. The law allows White to be reinstated if the judge reduces the felonies to misdemeanors.Brizzi has said White deserves to have the charges reduced because he has no criminal background and has a long record of public service.After White's conviction, Gov. Mitch Daniels immediately appointed White's chief deputy, Jerry Bonnet, as interim secretary of state. Daniels said he held off on a permanent appointment out of respect for the judge's authority to reduce the charges. He said if the felony convictions stood, he anticipated making a permanent appointment quickly.The sentencing, however, won't end all of the court battles over White's office. The Indiana Supreme Court has scheduled oral arguments next week on a civil case in which Democrats contend White was never eligible to run for office in 2010 because he was improperly registered to vote. Democrats contend the office should go the Democrat who lost the 2010 election, Vop Osili. Share Article A Share A A A Share Article

The Hunger Games: Catching Fire: First Look at Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss and Sam Claflin as Finnick in Highly Anticipated Sequel
Fans hungry for a little Hunger Games action got a tiny taste of the hit series' next installment on Wednesday, Jan. 9.
The first released image from The Hunger Games: Catching Fire -- on the cover of Entertainment Weekly -- shows Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss Everdeen and newcomer Sam Claflin as Finnick Odair clad in full arena gear, weapons at the ready.
PHOTOS: The best moments from the first Hunger Games movie
Claflin, 26, is no stranger to the fantasy realm. The English actor previously played William opposite Kristen Stewart in 2012's Snow White and the Huntsman.
The highly-anticipated second film will pick up where the first left off, with Katniss and Peeta (Josh Hutcherson) returning home to District 12, only to return to the Hunger Games for the Quarter Quell, wherein 24 previous victors are forced to compete once more.
PHOTOS: What all the stars wore to the Hunger Games premiere
Claflin will play Finnick, a sexy, charismatic former champion who will try to distract Katniss in her quest to win.
New cast members for the upcoming film include Jena Malone as Johanna Mason, Philip Seymour Hoffman as Plutarch Heavensbee, Jeffrey Wright as Beetee, and Amanda Plummer as Wiress.
PHOTOS: Jennifer Lawrence's stunning red carpet looks
Returning cast members, in addition to Lawrence and Hutcherson, will include Elizabeth Banks as Effie Trinket, Liam Hemsworth as Gale Hawthorne, Woody Harrelson as mentor Haymitch Abernathy, Lenny Kravitz as Cinna, Stanley Tucci as Caesar Flickerman, Donald Sutherland as President Snow and Willow Shields as Primrose Everdeen.

First came cookie dough dip.
And then, of course, there was also Snickerdoodle Cookie Dough Dip.
Someday soon, you might see peanut butter and jelly dip, red velvet dip, and oatmeal-raisin dip. But today, things are taking a turn for the worse better chocolate.
Say hello to brownie batter dip.
A new addition to my Healthy Gluten-Free Recipes.
It's also egg-free, soy-free, and there's a sugar-free option as well. (All of my recipes are dairy-free.) There's one thing this recipe s not free of, however, and that is addictiveness. Seriously. You've been warned.
Brownie Batter Dip
Inspired by the famous Cookie Dough Dip.
- 1 can garbanzo beans, drained (250g)
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- up to 2 tablespoons milk of choice
- 1/4c nut butter of choice (or oil, if you don't want any nut butter flavor)
- 2 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- a little over 1/8 tsp salt
- 2/3c dry sweetener (See link below for sugar-free option)
- optional: feel free to add flaxmeal or quick oats
Combine all ingredients in a food processor (not blender, for best results) and process until very, very smooth. (If you want this to taste like brownie batter from a boxed mix, you can use dutch-processed cocoa or Hersheys special dark. Also: the recipe calls for 2/3 cup sweetener, but if you're used to not-so-sweet desserts, you can probably get away with less.)
See the following link for: Sugar-Free Version.
Do you ever eat the raw batter when you bake?
I do! Especially the batter of my favorite Chocolate Fudge Zucchini Brownies.
In fact, I sometimes don't even bother to cook the brownies at all. Instead, I just eat the batter with a spoon. Even when I do cook them, they somehow never yield as many brownies as the recipe says. I wonder why that is…

Call for Media: Rosetta flyby of asteroid Lutetia on 10 July
ESA PR-14 2010: The media are invited to ESA's Space Operations Centre in Darmstadt, Germany, to follow Rosetta's encounter with asteroid Lutetia on 10 July, 18:00–23:00 CEST. The first images of the asteroid will be released before midnight, with experts available for interview.
ESA's Rosetta comet-chaser is en route to its main target, comet 67P/ Churyumov-Gerasimenko, arriving in 2014. On Saturday, 10 July, it will fly past the previously unvisited asteroid Lutetia.
This is an important milestone in Rosetta's long voyage, which began in 2004, and marks a rare opportunity to observe a primitive body such as an asteroid.
After encountering Lutetia, Rosetta will not perform scientific activities until reaching Churyumov-Gerasimenko in May 2014. It will then observe the comet for 18 months, releasing a lander onto the comet in November 2014.
Lutetia will be the second asteroid studied during Rosetta's journey. The Steins flyby took place on 5 September 2008, approaching to within 800 km.
Lutetia is a much bigger asteroid, so the flyby will be no closer than about 3200 km. Any nearer and Rosetta would not be able to fit the whole asteroid into the camera's field of view.
The close pass will allow around two hours of observational opportunities. The spacecraft will rapidly begin beaming its data to Earth and the first pictures will be released later that evening.
The Rosetta science and flight operations teams will be on hand to provide commentary, and to answer questions during the event.

Today is Tuesday, Feb. 18, the 49th day of 2014. There are 316 days left in the year.
Today's highlight:
On Feb. 18, 1564, artist Michelangelo Buonarroti died in Rome, just weeks before his 89th birthday.
On this date:
In 1861, Jefferson Davis was sworn in as provisional president of the Confederate States of America in Montgomery, Ala.
In 1885, Mark Twain's "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" was published in the U.S. for the first time.
In 1913, Mexican President Francisco I. Madero and Vice President Jose Maria Pino Suarez were arrested during a military coup (both were shot to death on Feb. 22).
In 1930, photographic evidence of Pluto (now designated a "dwarf planet") was discovered by Clyde W. Tombaugh at Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, Ariz.
In 1939, the Golden Gate International Exposition opened on Treasure Island in San Francisco.
In 1943, Madame Chiang Kai-shek, the wife of the Chinese leader, addressed members of the Senate and then the House, becoming the first Chinese national to address both houses of the U.S. Congress.
In 1953, "Bwana Devil," the movie that heralded the 3D fad of the 1950s, had its New York opening.
In 1960, the 8th Winter Olympic Games were formally opened in Squaw Valley, Calif., by Vice President Richard M. Nixon.
In 1970, the "Chicago Seven" defendants were found not guilty of conspiring to incite riots at the 1968 Democratic national convention; five were convicted of violating the Anti-Riot Act of 1968 (those convictions were later reversed).
In 1984, Italy and the Vatican signed an accord under which Roman Catholicism ceased to be the state religion of Italy.
In 1994, at the Winter Olympic Games in Norway, U.S. speedskater Dan Jansen finally won a gold medal, breaking the world record in the 1,000 meters.
In 2001, auto racing star Dale Earnhardt Sr. died in a crash at the Daytona 500; he was 49.
Ten years ago: Howard Dean's quest for the presidency ended as the Democrat, winless in 17 contests, abandoned his bid. In Iran, runaway train cars carrying fuel and industrial chemicals derailed, setting off explosions that destroyed five villages and killed at least 200 people.
Five years ago: President Barack Obama launched a $75 billion foreclosure rescue plan aimed at saving homes. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton began a two-day visit to Indonesia. Eric Holder, the nation's first black attorney general, said in a speech to Justice Department employees marking Black History Month that the United States was "a nation of cowards" on matters of race. Pope Benedict XVI received House Speaker Nancy Pelosi at the Vatican, telling her that Catholic politicians had a duty to protect life "at all stages of its development." The remnants of New York's Shea Stadium were demolished.
One year ago: The European Union imposed trade and economic sanctions on North Korea while condemning "in the strongest terms" the nation's latest nuclear test. Robbers stole a reported $50 million worth of diamonds from the hold of a Swiss-bound plane at Brussels' international airport; more than 30 people were later detained and some of the loot recovered. President Hugo Chavez returned to Venezuela after more than two months of treatment in Cuba following cancer surgery.

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
Rumors have been swirling for a while that Amazon (AMZN) is working on a smart phone. I decided not to write about it because I was not able to confirm the rumors from my sources.
Now Reuters reports that Amazon hired an investment bank last summer to review a potential merger with Research In Motion (RIMM). Both Amazon and RIMM have declined to comment. Reuters credits the report to un-named people with knowledge of the situation.
RIMM stock has been in a free fall. It has been my experience that when a stock is in free fall, it is common for someone with a vested interest in moving the stock higher either to leak the correct information or simply to start a rumor.
There are no certainties in the business of making investment predictions. Usually, however, where there is smoke, there is fire.
I have taken a careful look at how Amazon has designed Kindle Fire. It is not a standard Android implementation. (Please see my prior article Amazon Kindle Fire A Blessing For Apple In Google Battle for background.)
With the easy availability of front end phone chips, third party design firms, and white label phone manufactures in Asia, for Amazon to come up with a smart phone with its roots in Kindle Fire is not that difficult.
For some smart phone vendors, the hardest part has been establishing relationships with phone carriers all over the world and meeting their specifications and testing requirements.
Considering RIMM has a vast network of carriers all over the world and does not lack in the front end communication part of the phones, an approach from Amazon to RIMM makes sense.
Is there a business case for Amazon to jump into a highly competitive fray with Apple (AAPL), Google (GOOG), Microsoft (MSFT), Samsung, HTC, and other more experienced vendors?
In any case, it is clear that there is a smart phone in Amazon's future.

The Medical University of Ohio is exploring whether to build on-campus housing for some of its medical, nursing, and allied health students.
The project would likely be jointly financed and owned by the Medical University of Ohio Foundation and Columbus-based Edwards Communities Inc., which is building a luxury apartment complex near the University of Toledo.
Larry Burns, foundation president, said the project is "still in the early stages" but he hopes to get final approval from the MUO board by the end of the summer with construction completed in about two years.
"We'd probably start small with 150 to 200 beds and then see how it would go," Mr. Burns said. "We need to make sure what we build not only appeals in location and amenities but also [to] a wide range of students price-wise."
Dr. Lloyd Jacobs, MUO president, likes the idea of his institution having on-campus housing, adding that "I really hope we can do this."
Many students agree. The foundation surveyed about 200 MUO students last month to see if they'd be interested in on-campus housing and 67 percent said yes.
MUO has 586 medical students, 284 graduate students, and 231 health science students. It also trains about 1,000 nursing students through a cooperative agreement with the University of Toledo and Bowling Green State University, and those students would also be eligible to use on-campus MUO housing. Mr. Burns said the leading site now is a location somewhere on the south side of the MUO campus. Whatever area is picked, it has to be within easy walking distance for students, he said.

For those who haven't been paying attention, it's time to stop thinking of
To get a sense of how big this Big Switch is, Carr points to a similar revolution: the advent of electricity. The real electrical innovation, he argues, wasn't Thomas Edison's idea of installing individual power plants in factories. It was Edison's financial clerk, Samuel Insull, who thought of creating a central plant that powers an entire region, turning electricity into a utility and vastly dropping its price.
Today, Carr writes, computing is following that same path from tool to utility. In the future, corporations won't have private data centers or desktop software. Instead, companies like Google
Google's goals, and Carr's predictions for the Mountain View, Calif., Internet giant, don't end there. Forbes.com spoke with Carr about Google's ambition to become the world's computer, the evolution of search into artificial intelligence and Google co-founder Sergey Brin's plan to read our minds.
Have more questions for Nicholas Carr? Post your question in the "Reader Comments." Carr has agreed to answer at least three of the questions in the next week.
What's the analogy between electricity and the kind of "cloud computing" that Google is attempting?
What happened to mechanical power a hundred years ago is happening to computing today. Through the end of the 19th century, if your business wanted to run a machine, you had no alternative but to produce the energy to run it. So you had companies building big power generation operations within their own business–first hydraulic and steam, and then electrical.
But when Nicola Tesla invented the alternating current transfer of electricity, things changed: You had the basis for a grid, allowing energy to be piped in from somewhere far away. Samuel Insull realized that the economic advantages of centralizing this shared resource were so great that companies would stop producing their own power and just plug into the grid.
The analogy to our broadband computing grid is pretty clear. Data processing, storage and software applications that used to run locally are now being supplied by big central computing stations. They're becoming, in essence, computing utilities.
Is Google the company that will benefit most from this switch?
Google hasn't been alone in thinking of this, but it's been the most farsighted in appreciating how much and how quickly computing could be supplied from a central location. It's also been a leader in investing the kind of capital necessary to build that infrastructure. If you're looking for the current leading example of the trend, it's definitely Google.
Does that mean that Google's business model is changing fundamentally?
Google is already a central computing utility. Up to now, it's supplied a limited number of computing services, mostly search. But what it wants to eventually become is the computer that people use instead of their PC or their company's data center–the world's computer.
Will we still think of Google as a search company in five years?
In five years, Google will probably still be generating the majority of its revenue from the advertising model that's linked to its search engine. But all of these different services it will offer consumers and businesses mean new opportunities to display advertising, and new opportunities to collect information and personalize ads more precisely. The big question, five to 10 years from today, is whether it will also have a robust subscription model and have companies pay it to run services they used to run locally.
How long will it take for cloud computing to take over?
Up till now, the leading edge of computing was taking place at big companies, because they had the money and the cutting edge gear and the sophisticated software. With the Web apps model, we're seeing the exact opposite. Individuals at smaller companies don't have a lot of cash to invest. So this is a way for them to level the playing field. The switch is going to grow steadily and move from individuals and small companies up to larger companies.
I think that individuals have largely made the transition without even knowing it, particularly if you look at young people. They're not buying software. They're just using apps on the Internet. Small businesses will move in the same direction because of these economic advantages. But it could be 10 to 15 years before big companies move to utility computing model: They have too much invested in their own computing infrastructure to throw it out overnight.
Who else could benefit from this transformation?
All the software-as-a-service firms. Companies like
What's to say that Google will be leading in a few years time? Why can't Microsoft, for example, catch up?
It's possible that Microsoft
Looking further ahead at Google's intentions, you write in The Big Switch that Google's ultimate plan is to create artificial intelligence. How does this follow from what the company's doing today?
It's pretty clear from what [Google co-founders] Larry Page and Sergey Brin have said in interviews that Google sees search as essentially a basic form of artificial intelligence. A year ago, Google executives said the company had achieved just 5% of its complete vision of search. That means, in order to provide the best possible results, Google's search engine will eventually have to know what people are thinking, how to interpret language, even the way users' brains operate.
Google has lots of experts in artificial intelligence working on these problems, largely from an academic perspective. But from a business perspective, artificial intelligence's effects on search results or advertising would mean huge amounts of money.
You've also suggested that Google wants to physically integrate search with the human brain.
This may sound like science fiction, but if you take Google's founders at their word, this is one of their ultimate goals. The idea is that you no longer have to sit down at a keyboard to locate information. It becomes automatic, a sort of machine-mind meld. Larry Page has discussed a scenario where you merely think of a question, and Google whispers the answer into your ear through your cellphone.
What would an ultra-intelligent Google of the future look like?
I think it's pretty clear that Google believes that there will eventually be an intelligence greater than what we think of today as human intelligence. Whether that comes out of all the world's computers networked together, or whether it comes from computers integrated with our brains, I don't know, and I'm not sure that Google knows. But the top executives at Google say that the company's goal is to pioneer that new form of intelligence. And the more closely that they can replicate or even expand how peoples' mind works, the more money they make.
You don't seem very optimistic about a future where Google is smarter than humans.
I think if Google's users were aware of that intention, they might be less enthusiastic about the prospect than the mathematicians and computer scientists at Google seem to be. A lot of people are worried that a superior intelligence would mean for human beings.
I'm not talking about Google robots walking around and pushing humans into lines. But Google seems intent on creating a machine that's able to do a lot of our thinking for us. When we begin to rely on a machine for memory and decision making, you have to wonder what happens to our free will.

Joey Ivie will be joined by a familiar face next year. Ivie, a rising sophomore defensive lineman for the Florida Gators, will be going to school and playing football with his younger brother Andrew Ivie in 2015.
One has to figure that'll make Saturdays a lot easier for the Ivie family. One destination: Gainesville (Fla.).
The announcement was made Thursday. The older Ivie played sparingly as a true freshman last fall, appearing in four games and registering three tackles. His younger brother will close out his prep career this fall at Pasco H.S. in Dade City (Fla.). Andrew is a 6-foot-1, 265-pound defensive tackle and is rated a three-star prospect. He is Florida's eighth commitment for the 2015 class. Mississippi State and Ole Miss had also offered scholarships, along with Pitt, Wisconsin, South Florida and UCF.
"I've told Joey this before … I think Andrew is a lot further along at this point of his career than Joey was, but I think that has a lot to do with him being able to see his older brother go through the process," Pasco coach Tom McHugh told the Orlando Sentinel. "He's been able to benefit from having his big brother making the footprints in the sand it's a lot easier to follow that way."

"They were wrong. They never counted on the strength of the human spirit"
~ Cathy O´ Brien
Cathy O´ Brien & Mark Philips authors of the 1995 book: "Trance Formation of America"
Cathleen Ann O'Brien (born December 4, 1957, Muskegon, Michigan) is a former American victim of the U.S governmental mind control program, Project Monarch and Project MKULTRA, a program funded by the Central Intelligence Agency to research the use of drugs for intelligence purposes. Cathy O'Brien made these claims in her books Trance Formation of America (1995) and Access Denied: For Reasons of National Security (2004) which she co-authored with her husband, former CIA operative, Mark Phillips. O'Brien is one of many people publicly claiming to have survived CIA mind control programs.
The specific program which she claimed was responsible for her dissociative identity disorder, Project Monarch, is not mentioned in reviews of MKULTRA, it´s alleged parent program. Because most MKULTRA records were deliberately destroyed in 1973 by order of then CIA Director Richard Helms, it has been difficult, if not impossible, for investigators to gain a complete understanding of the more than 150 individually funded research sub-projects sponsored by MKULTRA and related CIA programs.
Cathy O´Brien also claims recollection of child abuse – to her and her daughter – by international pedophile rings, drug barons and satanists as part of a sex slave aspect to her 'trauma based mind control programming'. Individuals; from United States, Canadian, Mexican and Saudi Arabian government officials, to stars of the Country and Western music scene; are among those she accuses of these crimes. Investigations into the story produced no credible evidence and numerous inconsistencies
Project Monarch
O'Brien claims to have been recruited against her will by the CIA and her abusive father as a child, through a network of child pornographers he was involved with, and forced to participate in a mind control program named Project Monarch, which is said to be a subsection of Project MKULTRA and Project ARTICHOKE.
Cathy O´ Brien in her own words ~
My name is Cathleen (Cathy) Ann O'Brien, born 12/4/57 in Muskegon, Michigan. I have prepared this book for your review and edification concerning a little known tool that "our" United States Government is covertly, illegally, and un-constitutionally using to implement the New World Order (One World Government). This well documented tool is a sophisticated and advanced form of behavior modification (brainwashing) most commonly known as MIND CONTROL. My first hand knowledge of this TOP SECRET U.S. Government Psychological Warfare technique is drawn from my personal experience as a White House "Presidential Model" mind-control slave.
Much of the information enclosed herein has been corroborated and validated through brave and courageous "clean" members of the law enforcement, scientific, and Intelligence communities familiar with this case. These individuals' efforts helped me to understand and corroborate what happened after a lifetime of systematic physical and psychological torture orchestrated to modify my behavior through totally controlling my mind. Some of these courageous individuals are employed by the very system that controlled me and live in fear of losing their jobs, their families, or their lives. They have gone as far as they dare towards publicly exposing this tool of engineers of the New World Order–to no avail. This book is a grassroots effort to solicit and enlist the public and private support of Human Rights advocates, the recognized, respected doors in America to expose this invisible personal and social menace. This can be done by well organized, cooperative citizens with a passion for justice, who have expressed interest in restoring our Constitution and taking back America. This copy you hold is for your edification and action.
…It is my patriotic respect for the principles of truth, justice, and ultimately that freedom on which America was founded that compels me to expose the world domination motivations of those in control of our government, commonly referred to as the Shadow Government. By taking back America NOW, we can maintain the integrity of our country's history and future by detouring its destined course of being recognized world wide for the mind-control atrocities unleashed on humanity that literally begin where Adolph Hitler left off. Hitler's version of world domination that he termed in 1939 the "New World Order" is currently being implemented through advanced technologies in among others, genetic mind-controlled engineering by those in control of America.
…The expertise of my primary advocate and skilled deprogrammer, Mark Phillips, developed through his U.S. Defense Department knowledge of "Top Secret" mind-control research and researchers, was responsible for the restoration of my mind to normal functioning. As a result, I have recovered the memories related in this text, and having survived the ordeal, have reached this point of enormous frustration. In 1988, through a series of brilliantly orchestrated events, Mark Phillips rescued me and my 8-year-old daughter, Kelly, from our mind-controlled existence and took us to the safety of Alaska for rehabilitation. It was there that we began the tedious process of untangling my amnesic mind to consciously recall what I was supposed to forget.
Many U.S. and foreign government secrets and personal reputations were staked on the belief that I could not be deprogrammed and rehabilitated to accurately reveal the criminal covert activities and perversions in which Kelly and I were forced to participate, particularly during the Reagan/Bush Administrations. Now that I have gained control of my own mind, I view it as my duty as a mother and American patriot to exercise my gained free will to expose the mind control atrocities that my daughter and I endured at the hands of those in control of our government. This personal view of inside Pandora's Box includes a keen perception of how mind control is being used to apparently implement the New World Order, and a personal knowledge of WHO some sort of the so-called "masterminds" are behind this world and mind dominance effort.
While I am free to speak my mind, Kelly, now 17, is not so fortunate. Kelly has yet to receive rehabilitation for her shattered personality and programmed young mind. The high tech sophistication of Project Monarch trauma-based mind control procedures she endured, literally since birth, reportedly requires highly specialized, qualified care to aid her in eventually gaining control of her mind and life. Due to the political power of our abusers, all efforts to obtain her inalienable right to rehabilitation and seek justice have been blocked under the guise of so-called "National Security". As a result, Kelly remains untreated in the custody of the State of Tennessee–a victim of the system–a system controlled and manipulated by our abusive government "leaders"–a system which exists due to federal funding directed by our perverse, corrupt abusers in Washington, D.C. She remains a political prisoner in the custody of the State of Tennessee to this moment, waiting and hurting!
Transcription: Cathy O'Brien's Presentation Mind Control: http://www.theforbiddenknowledge.com/hardtruth/transcription_cathy_obrien.htm
TRANCE Formation of America was originally written, in graphic detail, for the U.S. House of Representatives Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence Oversight in 1995, seven years after Mark Phillips rescued my daughter Kelly and I from our White House/Pentagon level MK-Ultra mind control victimization. We had previously been stopped from presenting our compiled eyewitness testimonies, supporting medical documents and hard evidence to all local, state, and federal legal bodies for so-called "reasons of National Security". Once it became clear that we would not be able to address the Congressional Committee, TRANCE was released en masse in the form of a self-published book. It is now in its eighth printing, and is rapidly spanning the globe.
Mark and I began utilizing our First Amendment Rights by publicly whistle-blowing about mind control in 1991. In order to compile the evidence and begin a nation-wide mail-out of the information, we were reduced to living with Mark's mother in a tiny two-bedroom house, able to eat only through food stamps and donations. After sending the information to every prominent politician and political organization in Washington and receiving only the form responses, we finally had a breakthrough in 1992. At that time, I was able to address the Tennessee State Legislature after Kelly had been denied her Constitutional and human rights when forced into Tennessee State custody. The judge presiding over her so-called "legal" case, Judge Andrew Shookhoff, said in open court "laws do not apply in this case for reasons of National Security." This statement was the first stage of public validation from the bureaucratic and institutional realms. And it may have been the very act that saved our lives.
It is love for Kelly and determination to obtain classified technological rehabilitation for her and for the countless other victims worldwide who cannot think to speak for themselves, and love for humanity as a whole that motivates Mark and I to bring this reality to light. We are not alone in this effort, as there are individuals from global intelligence and governments who have been actively risking their jobs, retirement, and even lives to ensure that these facts reach people from all walks of society in order to make a necessary positive difference. Mind control is the most important issue facing humanity today as all other issues, causes, and choices are contingent upon free thought. We all formulate our thoughts, opinions, and actions based on what we know, and you Need-to-Know that your knowledge base is being deliberately altered through the suppression of pertinent information. Mind control is the missing piece of the puzzle that brings the global political picture into focus and explains so much of what we are seeing in society today. In a world where many people have fallen out of love with life, it is imperative to restore those human values we hold so dear NOW while we can still think to do so.
Upon researching the detailed facts documented in TRANCE and responding to this no-longer-secret problem with action, we all stand to win the psychological war that has been waged on us by a very few. Kelly's and my named abusers' justify their application of mass mind control by invoking an entire spectrum of 'virtues,' from that of population control to a means of achieving world peace. I know from experience that there is no peace in mind control, because without free thought there is no free will and without free will there is no soul expression. As a nation, our future is at stake. It is time to join the ever-increasing number of people worldwide who are raising public awareness by spreading the word on this 21st century technology for psychological control of our planet. Indeed, it is truth that makes u.s. free!
Cathy O'Brien
ACCESS DENIED For Reasons of National Security is the blockbuster new book by Cathy O'Brien with Mark Phillips, authors of the classic TRANCE Formation of America.
With their lives and liberty on the line, TRANCE was hurriedly condensed from courtroom testimony into a book form and privately published by the authors in September 1995.
ACCESS DENIED For Reasons of National Security is the rest of their true life's story, which required 16 years for the authors to survive and 3 years for them to write. This book is an amazing testament to the strength of the human spirit and one you will never forget for as long as your thoughts remain free.
While TRANCE has become known worldwide in many licensed translations as one of the most successful US government whistleblowers' book ever written, it was never intended for the public who had no reference for understanding mind control nor was it to be considered a book. Rather it is what it is, a true and to date uncontested document for the US Congressional Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence Oversight. TRANCE is Cathy O'Brien's documented testimony she provided to US courts, US Congress, and the United Nations Commission on Human Rights Abuses of her existence as a CIA MK-Ultra mind control project's slave.
ACCESS DENIED for reasons of National Security is a real book of answers, solutions and positive hope for all of u.s. and our allies around the world. This book was written for everyone and especially for the thousands who have read TRANCE and were left to imagine pertinent details that could not be included.
- How did Cathy recover from being tortured "out of her mind" until age 30 when intelligence insider Mark Phillips triggered and rescued her and her daughter Kelly away from their CIA operative handler?
- What are the documented details of how Mark & Cathy survived the state and federal and Congressional judicial gristmill aptly called the criminal justice system?
- Last but not least, what are the facts as to how Mark & Cathy were able to survive long enough to globally expose the criminal acts of some of the most politically powerful people who are still in control our planet to this very day?
