ALPHABET SOUP

A - Actually pretty good. Wow, Cena has been tearing it up. I found his opening speech promo, especially his faith. Viewers do not see enough this side of Cena. I got pretty pumped when he told Del Rio went to defeat him. What? I'm not like Cena? He does a good job!

B - But ... He can not be great for long. Good point, Punk, Cena to Del Rio to dismiss the fact that many cars? He has literally 10,000 cars. This is where I start to hate Cena. He contradicts itself a lot. His underdog status does not work when we see him in movies and on TV. Cena is too big an underdog. Punk nailed that their money in the bank match and I really think WWE should run with it. You do not need to turn him heel, but his character grow. Him and his character are now rich stars, play in that.
C - Come on. Because they are on TV for 15 years, Triple H seems to have forgotten that stripe shirt - especially brightly colored ones that look like they were stolen by Billy Dee Williams - the tendency to confuse cameras. Smart.

D - Do not. Not a bad opening segment, but I do not like punk mixed up with Cena-Del Rio. I understand that he wants a re-match if he looks stupid, but I really prefer the idea of ​​him and Cena with different stories. Keeping these two far apart for now is good for business.

E - Whether it's from Bizarro World. Terrible sign Part 46: I love the boy who "Canada hates the lady" sign on its head. I would imagine that he keeps his head so his dad can read it while doing crazy Jack Lalanne training.

F - For real. NAFTA was in full effect this week! An American versus Mexican in Canada? Ah, free trade. I'm just afraid Zack Ryder will come and Canada will decide to build a fence ...

G - Grade B. It would have been better. I thought the stories were strong, though, and the races were at least semi-entertaining. It was better than the green ketchup, but not as good as doing a Louie Armstrong impression when you order pizza. "I want to p-p-pep-per-ronnniii yeeahhhh."

H - Hold on! I figured it out! Morrison was the fake Sin Cara - that was a tilt-a-whirl botch for centuries. Speaking of the fake Sin Cara, I really hope this does not become the new fake Undertaker, you know, everyone always asks, "Hey, you know there is a fake Undertaker?" Yes, yes I did. Did you know that I want to punch you?

I - I liked it. Del Rio vs. Morrison was good enough. I've enjoyed, but I do not understand why the WWE champion struggled to guys under him - especially in such close races. Give him a squash, close all these games are doing is cheapening his government and the title. Since when does the WWE champion to open the show in a non-title match? Oh yeah, since the decade began. We need for this purpose.

J - I wondered: Why did it take a heel turn for Natalya and Beth to dress nice? Should not the opposite? Do not get me wrong, I think the WWE Divas have a story, but they go about this all wrong. Beth and Natalya are far too broad for this story heel and, again, Natalya laughs as if she just a piece of candy. Let them dominant faces, you know, like Kharma.

K - Killing me. Nash seems grandfather of one. Can he at least try? Enjoy fishing, Kev? How is that "Greatest Grandpa World's" mug? Did you buy a new hard candy for those boring old dish or are you just the same 6-year-old candy to leave out?

L - Let's keep the criticism clothes with Vickie. Horrible shirt, Vickie. It looks like a bird hit a glass window and slid over her shirt. I hope she wears the outfit on purpose to get heat.

M - My favorite wrestler is super secret Jack Swagger. There, I said it. And, as I Swagger goes the story, but I do not like the inevitable rubber match next week against A-Ry. A-Ry was one of my favorite up-and-comers to annoying me. He makes no effort to get the fans into the game. He is a terrible sight. He also looks for bootable punch a good guy.

N - No idea. Triple H does not know what he wants. Sometimes he is the no-nonsense, badass ex-wrestler and sometimes he is diplomatic, COO. I'm confused. I like the bit about Nash not being an employee, but let them really thought this through. And, nice entry for Tim Horton's (my mother manages a). I do not know what to say about Punk not already been said here. He is close to the best promo in wrestling today.

Oh - Oh, stop it, boy, Evan Bourne should be nine times tables ready for the race. Kofi tried to trick him with the finger all night, it's just not sinking in, poor child.

P - Praise. Again, I can not lie, I love Otungacutty. They swagger. I would like to join them Vickie's stable. They have a ten times better since he champs. They move with purpose and attitude now. Take notes, Alex Riley, that's how the audience involved. They get a lot of unwarranted hatred. Yes, they were kind of bad at first, but these guys have. I'm on the bandwagon. I think the tag division is really healthy. The announcers seemed to have really put on a new era in tag wrestling. Hopefully Otungacutty can actually stay together and run.
Q - Quotes. Because I do not hope tons of praise for C.M. Punk this week, here is the all-C.M. Punk edition of "Quotes".

Punk: "Maybe it was Stephanie McMahon, I do not know ... ... with a candlestick in the library or something." I love the fact that even the ridiculousness of what he said he realized.

Punk (until Cena), "Have you not 10,000 cars?" Thanks for having my back, buddy. Yes, in my imaginary world, I Punk and his cronies. We get along with Cody Rhodes and read the comics while listening to Rancid. Let me have!

R - Really? Yes, I could not help. I had to think of names for Bourne and Kofi, and luckily my wonderful Twitter followers agreed. The following are our suggested name (a name without a Twitter handle is one that I thought): Air Africa (A lot of people mentioned this one, but the first time I saw it was mentioned by @ wrestleDena) Chocolate Milk (@ FozzieMB), Bourne High (come onnn, it's great), Bedtime, 2 +2 = 5, Jamocha (@ nutsocharles), Step Brothers Of Destruction (@ nutsocharles), World's (10th) Greatest Tag Team (@ LTS55), and How High (@ Bandages).

S - Super fantastic, uber awesome magician. That's Miz and Truth. Unbelievable. Miz truth and just a clinic. Every young wrestler in the back had to take notes during that segment. That was exactly how a crowd in a frenzy. Both just grabbed the brass ring and pulled it down. This should be the next team to go after the Tag Titles are. I'm 100 percent on board with them to take on the Bourne / Kofi. And then rap? Even better. I'm totally taking credit for that by the way, as I said last week that the truth needs to be a new heel rap. "You suck! You suck! Now that's what's on! "Miz and Truth are my new favorite tag team.

T - Template. In fact, I think, the new template. Let boys with obvious talent out of them himself. Miz promo and truth are trained artists. Everything they needed was a chance. So many wrestlers could benefit. Hell, let Otungacutty some mic time. I think Punk has shown that mic time can have a significant impact on your career as are used correctly.

U - Ultimately, Canada is the only real winner tonight, throwing Cena's shirt back was such a nice touch and a perfect microcosm of Cena's career: a part of the public is tired of Cena thrown at them. That audience is rejecting him more and more. It would be wise for the WWE to take note. I am a bit disappointed that did not happen in Chicago though - that's a kind of gimmick's the Cubs - but, uh.

V - Very awesome. I always like seeing the guys with the title belt into the crowd. Why? What does that even mean? Are you proclaim to be a champion? From what? Wasting money? Do you want people to know that you paid $ 200 for a band you will regret it in three months? It would suck to drag around that and you know it should smell. It smells like stale beer and probably chair farts.

W - Well, the main event was a good game, but felt a bit rushed due to time constraints. The pace was furious, but maybe that was by design. I felt that not enough going on sale. Still, though, made a good match in their great series. Punk and Cena are the definition of working well together. And I was like, I'm sure everyone else saw it swerve out with Nash. It was very nice, though. I like things out of hand Triple H being. When the man who is supposed to look over everything can not even protect Cena and Punk, then who will? Chaos is the name of the game here and I like it. Still, the cliffhanger of the week was not as exciting as last week, but it was effective. I'm still addicted to now.

X - Xylophone.

Y - You know you watch too much when Raw: All DVD ads blend together into one big, craptastic DVD. The very fact that "OMG" is written on a WWE DVD worry me. What's next? "LMAO: The Funniest Moments in WWE History" By the way, I realize that this section an insane amount of capital, and that I am truly sorry.

Z - Zero: The number of people who wanted to go to another car-angle view. Really? A car accident? I feel like we match closer and closer to exploding limo territory. The percentage of Canadian wrestling fans who do not drink alcohol. And, finally, Zack Ryder, the number of appearances this week if you have champagne celebration not participate in the new tag champs. His presence would have soured US / Canadian diplomatic relations for the coming year.

Steve Wozniak & Steve Jobs

Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway

Warren Buffett will host a fundraiser for Obama next month in New York City, the Berkshire Hathaway CEO, told CNNMoney on Thursday.
With the 2012 election season just around the corner, the campaign to back Obama in the White House for a second term is underway and it is not unusual for the campaign of the President of the drawing power boost by him share the stage with a well-known benefactor.
Billed as an "Economic Forum dinner with Warren Buffett," the fundraiser will be held at the Four Seasons restaurant in New York and moderated by former economic advisor Austan Goolsbee, Obama, according to a schedule obtained by Politico.
The event will be a pretty penny for the campaign. The base price is $ 10,000, while a $ 35,800 donation buys a VIP reception with Buffett, according to the schedule.
The Democratic National Committee confirmed the fundraiser was happening, but was silent about the details.
Last week, Buffett made clear - in a very high-profile way that it supports one of Obama's key policy goals: Higher taxes for the rich.
"My friends and I have been spoiled enough by a billionaire-friendly Congress. It's time for our government to get serious about shared sacrifice," the Berkshire (BRKA, Fortune 500) founder wrote in a New York Times opinion piece.
On the same day it was published, Buffett's op-ed was an applause line for Obama, who used it to hammer home his call for higher taxes for the rich.
"You're paying more than that," Obama told the crowd at a town hall meeting in Minnesota. "And - now I may be wrong, but I think you're a little less rich than Warren Buffett That's just a guess .."
In the past, Obama has consulted Buffett on the economy, including one hour long session at the White House in 2010, which gave Obama the Oracle of Omaha a new tie, because Buffett had frayed.
The campaign fundraiser is like many other businessmen move in the opposite direction, taking a pledge to keep campaign contributions.
Starbucks (SBUX, Fortune 500) CEO Howard Schultz said Wednesday that he has more than 100 CEOs attracted to all political campaign contributions halt to legislators, as Schultz puts it, "the partisan congestion stop in Washington, DC"

Apple's Stock Is Fine Or Not?

Wall Street is nearly unanimous in its assessment of the formidable tech giant Apple (AAPL) and Steve Jobs announced his resignation as CEO: the 19 most analysts remain bullish that job Apple stock from Apple. Jobs announced Wednesday night that he will resign as chief, but remains as chairman. Chief Operating Officer Tim Cook is taking the CEO position.
"While we value and strategist Steve Jobs vision, we believe he is a superior organization is supported by talented engineers and managers who can execute product roadmaps and ensure growth made," says C. Montevirgen, equity analyst at Standard & Poor's who follows Apple. He is maintaining his "strong buy" recommendation on the stock with a 12-month price target of $ 455 per share.
Jobs long battle "with pancreatic cancer has been well known. "We also believe investors have to manage transition, according to the Apple market, the price-earnings ratio of 10.9 times our calendar 2012 EPS estimate ($ 27.64 per share) anticipate," says Montevirgen. The analyst still expects earnings to grow more than 60% and nearly 20% in 2011 and 2012, respectively. "We believe the stock is undervalued," he adds.
"We are saddened by the deteriorating health of Steve Jobs' and his resignation as CEO of Apple, but his departure was partly in stock," said Mark McKechnie, an analyst at Think Equity in San Francisco. He says: "We maintain our view of Apple as the best large-cap equipment to play on smartphones and tablets," and he reiterated his buy rating on the shares with a price target of $ 475.
 Four reasons to buy Apple's now:
The Apple machine has momentum as "Apple has built a culture and ecosystem that can be sustained for years to come," McKechnie says. This is one of the main reasons why Apple remains a buy, he adds.
Three other reasons to buy now from Apple, he says: A big overhang on the stock market has been lifted as Jobs' health problems are weighing on the stock for several years, the catalyst will be iPhone5 this fall, and iPad3 starting end of December, going back should bring long lines of customers waiting to buy these devices, and Apple's valuation is attractive.

This morning (Thursday), the shares opened at $ 365.08 a share and the stock had sharpened 11:40 higher to $ 371.

Ten years later, the music world mourns the loss of the still young woman (full name: Aaliyah Dana Haughton), who just 22 years old at the time of her shocking death, and was ready for a big superstar the way for singers like Beyonce, Rihanna, Ciara and others.
The Brooklyn-born wunderkind (whose name means "highest" in Arabaic) released her first album, Age Is not Nothing but a few, at the age of 14, the album was produced by R & B master R. Kelly. The pair was rumored to have married when Aaliyah was just 15 and he was 27, Aaliyah denied the talk.

Jim Carrey to Emma Stone

Last night, when half the planet was stock affects Steve Jobs' on humanity to take the other half wondering, Where in the world is Colonel Gaddafi?, Jim Carrey posted a strange video love letter to Emma Stone on its website, recapture the global conversation faster than you can say "restraining order". Overall response to the homemade clip befuddlement, discomfort, and a slight case of heebee-Jeebies (which did not take into account the emotional whirlwind that Mrs. Stone must be permanent). The operative word to describe the video, based on the blogs and the people they write, is "creepy." So what's the deal?
Jim Carrey does it mean when he says: "I was much younger, I want to marry you," or is this merely an attempt to Joaquin Phoenix-lite performance art?

The answer is, who the hell knows? Or more definitely, probably a bit of both. Of course, Emma Stone is one of the more crumple zone actresses working in Hollywood today. One has only to its latest round of talk show appearances to understand its impact on older men, especially David Letterman. And these are not ordinary people, they are comedians. And Emma Stone is an actress, an amazing one with Lauren Bacall Lucille Ball and her voice. It is easy to see why they appeal to a man with a funny bone in his body. (That sounded kind of gross.)

But back to the potential motivation Carrey's. His latest film, Mr. Popper's Penguins, came and went at the box office, the precursor to an official end to his reign at multiplexes Kevlar. The video was half-hearted attempt to remind the youth that he still knows the way to their hearts-digest online videos are below 180 seconds. Or maybe he was just bored and wanted to prove himself that he is all Entertainment Industrial Complex to talk about him with the flick of a record to get. (It worked, Jim!)
Or maybe, just maybe, Jim Carrey has the hots for Emma Stone blisters. Shit, I do. And so do you, admit it. And fully aware that his 49-year-old-ness, he could never date her despite the fact that the stone was no doubt held the Ace Venturas and Dumb and Dumber of Carrey's first and probably still idolizes him chose he whole thing into a harmless joke. We like to throw words like "creepy" so it looks like Jim Carrey is somehow coming apart, but if you watch the video, the man is clearly fun, albeit more subtle than say, this is Jim Carrey. When the video came to an attached printer Funny or Die, we would all laugh, and welcome Jim Carrey at the age of viral videos. His other online videos, many of which give a candid glimpse into the life of a global superstar, but nobody has spread beyond Carrey's official website. Today Emma Stone is no doubt prepping a response, officially or just in her head. And whether it comes in the form of its own video (doubtful) or a red carpet, she must remain sensitive. These are real feelings they might have to do.

Foreign Minister Santos insists Nicaragua

Foreign Minister Samuel Santos seems visibly upset to hear a question about the state of democracy in Nicaragua.
He emphasizes that it is a lie that President Daniel Ortega in Nicaragua turns into a dictatorship.
"What do you base this on? You're a journalist. You should do more research. It is your duty," said Santos in Helsingin Sanomat during his visit to Finland on Tuesday.
Finland the only remaining friend that the Central American country in the Nordic countries.
Norway and Sweden have stopped providing aid to Nicaragua by what they see as the erosion of democracy, and Denmark intends to follow the example at the end of the year.
Nicaragua has since transferred his only embassy in the northern region of Denmark to Finland. The last moving boxes are now packed in Copenhagen. 
Foreign Minister Santos is convinced that the move was a good idea.
"We have good and respectful relationships had for decades. Relationship, no matter what kind of government power in Finland and Nicaragua continued," Santos told Helsingin Sanomat.
Finland has cut back on direct aid to the Nicaraguan government and the focus shifted to finance non-governmental organizations to help them to work more in order to reduce poverty and promote democracy.
However, NGOs say they also face pressure from the government, because of President Ortega's negative attitude towards political rivals.
Finnish Foreign Minister Erkki Tuomioja (Social Democratic Party) said that development cooperation with Nicaragua will continue as agreed until the end of next year, and that his future will be considered later.
"I do not want to take a position on this matter yet," Tuomioja said Tuesday.
He sees no problem with the current arrangements. On the problems facing democracy in Nicaragua, Tuomioja states that Nicaragua and the European Union did not agree on control of the presidential election in November reached the country.
    
Finnish development cooperation with Nicaragua began in the early 1980s when the Sandinista rebels led by Daniel Ortega overthrew a right-wing dictatorship.
Ortega was narrowly elected president four years ago and has since been criticized for what is perceived as authoritarian rule.
He is expected to easily win reelection, especially since the country electoral commission and the Supreme Court are seen to work together to ensure the continuity of his administration to secure.
 Santos insists that Ortega does not need dirty tricks to win.
"In Latin American countries, the opposition resorts to easy claims like this. The people of Nicaragua are clearly pleased with the way the government and President Ortega functioned in the past four years."
Santos refers to World Bank figures, which has decreased poverty in Nicaragua. However, poverty programs, preferably members of the Sandinista party.
Ahead of the election, this also applies to applicants for an identity card to vote. People who are not party members are not always issued identity cards.

Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) Retreats On Oh Endorsement

DAVID'S OH political misery continue to accumulate as the local Fraternal Order of Police lodge voted yesterday to approve its application to dissolve council after learning that he fudged his military resume.

Oh is apologizing for days to Army Special Forces members, while complaining about the Daily News, which first reported the details Friday, and accused unnamed political opponents of plotting against him.

Oh had been considered a Republican front-runner this year for a Council-large seat.

Oh, do not respond to requests for comment yesterday offered to campaign materials and destroying more clear about his military service in the future.

The Daily News found several examples in the current campaign oh and two attempts for a Council seat in 2003 and 2007, which he called himself a Green Beret or Special Forces officer.

An invitation for a fundraiser Oh circulated two weeks ago at the Union League said: "David served in Operation Desert Storm as a second lieutenant in the U.S. Army Special Forces."

Oh was assigned to the 20th Special Forces Group of the Maryland Army National Guard in 1991 when it was called to active service. He failed to complete Special Forces training at that time and was not deployed in Iraq.

Oh promised to pay for two full page advertisements in the Daily News with an apology to Special Forces members, veterans and voters to "my lack of attention to detail in the knowledge was in my possession, and the negligence was in my favor."

And he promised to campaign contributions and notes back from disgruntled supporters.

"I would not want to win this election with a cloud that I vote by fraud or money gained or vague," Oh said.

Bike Protection Strategy

if you want to protect your bike at the station, so it is there when you need to get home to check what the La Grange bike lock experts say.
Variety of locks available for cyclists in the city
Only through the entrance of The Wheel Thing bike shop in downtown La Grange is a representation of the diversity of the bicycle locks available for purchase. Prices range from about $ 20 for a wire slot and up to $ 100 for a heavy chain and padlock.
According to George Egner, a sales associate at The Wheel Thing, the type of lock you should buy depends on what you generally use your bike.
"If you just walk into the store, a wire lock is usually good enough," said Egner. "But if you are going to leave out for a long time, is a U-lock worthwhile."
Many of the higher-end locks available from The Wheel Thing is also a wire lock for securing your chair or second band, Egner said. And some brands, such as Kryptonite locks, even a guarantee policy that the cost of your bike will replace up to $ 2000 if it is stolen.
"You're probably going to need a pipe cutter to a U-lock off," Egner said, adding that they occasionally do on The Wheel Thing for customers who have lost their keys. "There's a lot of sparks and takes a while. "
The point is that cutting a U-lock, more attention than it was worth, and there is probably easier to steal anyways.
Overview of the bikes locked both stations show many would be easy steals:
Wondering how many bikes at the stations in La Grange would be easy to cut and run, I went to the station to an informal investigation. At both stations, were poorly protected and many many bikes were simply closed with a cable lock.
Take a look at the photos that I locked bike broke at the stations.
At Stone Avenue station in particular, approximately half of the bikes poorly protected. Low foot and car traffic through the station, and the bicycle racks to sit right next to a crescent-shaped residential pickup ramp means cutting a wire lock and load into a truck or van would be relatively simple and quick.
La Grange resident Mary Kay Petrella had just returned from a meeting in the city, she said she does about once a month, when she saw me taking pictures of bikes on the Stone Avenue Station.
"I sometimes worry about [getting her bike stolen], but I think that in general are probably a lot of people around," Petrella said she pulled a thin wire around her bicycle lock.
Petrella said that when she finally bought her, she was looking for something cheap, simple and easy to carry. But after I told her about the recent thefts of bicycles and how easy it would be for someone to cut her lock, she said she was interested in maybe getting a little more heavy duty
Egner, according to The Wheel Thing, Patrella is not alone, it is something he often sees customer spending $ 500 on a bike, but only $ 20 at the slot.
The trapping:
So, what is the best way to lock up your bike? Well, the National Bike Registry has some tips to make sure you are as safe as can be.
  1. Lock your bike in a visible, well-lit room. Make sure you lock, is in good condition and can not be easily broken.
  2. If you use a cable, wrap it tightly around your bike. A tight wrap makes it harder for someone to slip in a bolt cutter.
  3. If you have a U-lock, try to lock your bike in a way that will fill as much of the U-space as possible. This will help prevent bicycle against the thief using a jack.
  4. Get an extra cable lock to secure your seat or back tires, especially if you have a quick release system on your wheels.
  5. Slide the U-Lock by both the front tire and the bike frame to the best security.Don "let alone lock on the ground where a thief can use a rock or hammer to break it.

OPM(Office of Personnel Management) chief New Discussion

Planning for diversity and inclusion in the federal employees are taking shape, John Berry, director of the Office of Personnel Management announced Monday the Blacks in Government National Training Conference.

Berry's comments follow President Obama's directive issued Thursday, ordering federal agencies to make strategic plans to cultivate more diverse workforce development.

In conjunction with the announcement Thursday, OPM launched a diversity and inclusion website.
Berry on Monday quoted past performance OPM is bringing in veterans and people with disabilities, to speed up the recruitment process and simplify the recruitment process as proof that the new diversity program will work. Still, he said, getting minorities into the Senior Executive Service positions is an area that progress requires.

"We have a long way in recent decades, but we still have mountains to climb," he said. "Although minorities 34 percent of our workforce include various federal, they are only 18 percent of our SES. That is unacceptable. We can do better."

Berry also discussed OPM's plan to propel the initiative forward. Within three months, he said, the office - working with Deputy Budget Director Jeff Zients, the Chairman of the Management Council and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission - will have a government wide plan on diversity and inclusion.

This framework will detail the next steps, which Berry said will focus on recruiting through partnerships with colleges and universities to take on diverse populations.

Individual agencies should also experiment with their own initiatives to improve diversity, Berry said. He called the Social Security Administration and EEOC as a model of diversity that other agencies must follow.

"Our ability to attract the most talented people from every segment of our population, is one of the key measures of our success as an employer - and our greatness as a nation," Berry said.
