Apple gains ground on Google in smartphone market - Dayton Business Journal
Interesting! Maybe the iOS 7 changes will also garner gains.
Russia and America face off in Syria because Russia and Putin want it that way. Obama would rather run away but Clinton gives him back bone in a difficult decision. He knows it's a black hole and will lead to another world recession... Neither country can afford conflict and Syria will not pay Russia's account, the full cost, so waste is the order of the day?
Helps Russia's balance of weapons payments. When Syria uses its defensive arsenal, Russia can deepen the debt of that country!
Both Russia and America claim high moral ground. China and Saudi Arabia are pushed to sidelines.....
Russia's involvement in the Middle East has been extraordinarily reactionary to say the least? While warning that Syria could become a bloodbath, Russia is ensuring just that very outcome in a cynical approach to balance of power politics.
What does reactionary mean in this context? Think!
End of Britain is predicted in depressing video about the huge accumulation of debt
Good question? How will the debt be serviced? Does pumping money into the economy reduce or increase net debt of consumers? How is such debt assigned by age group?
Is your property value the way you assume you will eliminate debt?
What if ....

Why America's Shale Oil Boom Could End Sooner Than You Think - Forbes
Ever thought what could happen to Canadian oil boom linked to Shale etc?
Solar flare activity has an audience of its own! Combined with cosmic rays solar wind activity creates a dangerous mix of silent undetected radiation.
The current solar cycle was late and it did not have the volume of earlier cycles. People, however, are interested in the implications of solar flare bursts, particularly wen they are suddenly large and knock out communications on earth.
Should you be sunbathing when the spit from the sun hits earth, you may be in for a shock years later. Yes! The sun emits flares spurting forth dangerous X-rays that can harm cells and cause cancer! Will the earth's protective shield be enough?
Unfortunately, as the solar wind hits earth it thins out the normal protection from high energy cosmic ray particles hitting earth all the time. In ozone depleted regions the danger is worse.
Possibly, DNA of life was altered by solar and cosmic ray activity.
Best to stay in doors if you have a tender skin!

Wall Street Tries to Open Loopholes in Derivatives Regulation - Economic Intelligence (usnews.com)
Typical Yankee Doodle negative freedom approach. It should scare / scares the hell out of responsible societies that build economies on ethics and on morals!
The Great Recession, a Housing Bubble and Bad Credit - Economic Intelligence (usnews.com)
Well to be more exact, we had so much growth in new housing that effective demand for housing could not keep up. If housing growth had been slower then effective demand would have kept up. Effective demand is essentially the permanent incomes needed to actually purchase a home when interest rates are allowed to move up as well as down. In short, there was a bubble of houses brought on by a bubble of credit! A rule of thumb is not to sell a home to someone when their effective income times four is less than selling price / need to borrow! Problem is also that personal debt can bubble up to take away capacity to repay mortgage.
Justin Trudeau’s hoggishness proves he’s not too nice to run the country | Full Comment | National Post
Guess charities should not hire such key speakers! For speakers there is the question of opportunity costs, of what is lost to make a deal even if it seems harsh when costs are not met.
Syrian War is Taking a Dangerous Shape and a Major Fight Will Not Be Good for World Stability in All of its Dimensions .. Economic ... Health ... Etc.
As the war gears up and up, there is a danger of transformation of the Middle East and well beyond.
Timing is bad as Israel fears for its future from nuclear threat of Iran. The nightmare would be a war in which major economies are drawn into a fight to the end dragging down the world economy.
Assad must go, but he has neighbours such as Russia and friends such as Iran who are protecting his interests.
Peace is unlikely and stock markets should expect major adjustment in the year ahead!
Round or rectilinear home or bridge? The Alan Dawson steel house is revolutionary ....
For those interested in unusual but amazing home designs? A house built like a bridge?
Alan went bankrupt, but his steel prefab system lives on and he may license the patent of this revolutionary method of building homes from prefabricated pieces .... A design system that took him 22 years!

Avaaz - Stand with Edward Snowden
Spying can change the course of history, certainly the lives of individuals. The urge to whistleblow on the misuse of powers designed in theory to protect is nothing but the urge to right a wrong and the world pressure against whistleblowing can be immense.
If the spying is predatory rather than protective then .....
