Etiquette: How Do You Embrace a Bad Baby Name?
2011-12-13 11:00:00 As you know, I like to poke fun at bizarre baby names. I mean, Vick Vaporup? Oleomargarine? Job-Rakt-Out-of-the-Asshes? Come on. Try not commenting on names like these. It’s easy for me to mock these names, though, because I don’t know … Continue reading →
China to Embrace Fracking In an Effort to Ramp up Energy Production
2011-12-01 16:42:00 China is leaving no shale deposit unturned in its effort to develop indigenous energy resources. On 24 November China’s Ministry of Land and Resources geological exploration department head Peng Qiming said during a press conference that China’s combined oil and natural gas output, 280 million tons in 2010, is projected to rise to 360 million tons of oil equivalent by 2015, a 23 percent increase in four years and will rise to 450 million tons by 2030, a 62 percent increase over 2010 production, impressive rises in production by any yardstick. And Beijing authorities in their drive are embracing a controversial natural gas production technique that is coming under increasing government scrutiny in both the United States . . . → Read More: China to Embrace Fracking In an Effort to Ramp up Energy Production

COVERT AFFAIRS Scoop: Sendhil Ramamurthy Dishes on Whether Jai Will Embrace
2011-11-22 22:43:00 Just as hot as the Annie-Auggie friendship on COVERT AFFAIRS is the question of whether or not Jai is taking up the “bad boy” legacy his father has bestowed upon him. While chatting with press in a recent conference call Sendhil Ramamurthy shared his perspective on Jai’s chances of redemption versus the seductive appeal of ultimate power. What’s next for Jai Wilcox? Will he be making a more prominent appearance in upcoming episodes this season? SENDHIL: It’s interesting. There’s basically the Office of Special Projects that Jai is now heading up and it is tasked with different tasks that it has to perform and he answers to everybody’s boss — even to Arthur’s boss. He answers to the DCI. And as we’ll see in coming episodes: what the job entails, what that office entails, what the specifics of that office are; they’re not that specific and Jai finds that out very quickly. Like he’s not quite sure what he’s supposed to be doing and then Henry Wilcox...

Chris Thompson: Investors Not Quite Ready to Embrace ?Ugly Sister? Silver
2011-11-21 21:00:00 The Gold Report: Chris, you recently called silver “the most volatile of all the precious metals.” Why do you believe that? Chris Thompson: Silver is often called gold’s ugly sister because historically it presents itself as a very volatile metal, price-wise. Silver demand is typically determined by two main influences. First, silver as a store of value, much like gold. Second, silver is valued as an industrial metal. Right now, there’s a lot of concern about demand for silver as an industrial metal, about the lack of demand for silver for industrial fabrication. The interplay between these two demand uses contribute to its price volatility. TGR: And you expect that volatility to continue for a while yet? CT: I . . . → Read More: Chris Thompson: Investors Not Quite Ready to Embrace ‘Ugly Sister’ Silver

IEA Report Advises Governments to Embrace Renewables and Nuclear
2011-11-15 16:40:00 The good news is that on 8 November the International Energy Agency released its 2011 "World Energy Outlook." While it will cheer nuclear advocates, overall the report makes for grim reading. Pulling no punches, the report states at the outset, "There are few signs that the urgently needed change in direction in global energy trends is underway." Stripped of its cautious language, the IEA report essentially noted that should present trends continue, the world’s governments through a lack of progressive initiative embracing alternative energy sources would continue to rely on ‘tried and true" fossil fuels, resulting in increased pollution, more fossil-fuel dependency and increasingly upward energy prices. For environmentalists, this is all good news, but the report contained . . . → Read More: IEA Report Advises Governments to Embrace Renewables and Nuclear

Butler Bulldogs Embrace "Just Win, Baby" Concept in NCAA Tourname
2011-03-29 00:58:00 Perhaps it's fitting that the Butler Bulldogs eliminated the Michigan State Spartans 52-50 in last year's Final Four. Not only was it a close game, but the 2010 State team seems to have passed that "just survive and advance no matter what" zeitgeist on to BU. MSU barely won all their games en route to reaching that Final Four in Indianapolis, the hometown of Butler. And the Bulldogs have punched their ticket to Houston in 2011, much the same way. Exempting the blowout win over the Wisconsin Badgers, the Bulldogs have won their other three tourney games by a combined six points. The Florida Gators had eliminated Butler in two of the Bulldogs' previous seven visits to the NCAA...

City's Embrace Has Never Been Warmer
2010-10-12 06:05:00 This past week, after being gone for over three months of Euro-tripping, book-touring and Gulf-of-Mexico-exploring, I finally arrived back in Chicago. Lord, am I glad to be back. Everything here seems brighter than I remember: the Bean is shinier, Bears fans are happier and the girls out at 4 a.m. in Big City Tap are cuter (the guys, however, still look like a combination of vagrants and parolees). Not to mention, have you people seen what's going on outside of Chicago? It is not pretty. We're lucky we have a thousand mile bumper between us and any other city of note because the rest of this country is out of its mother-loving mind. I spent a month in New...

Tuesday is "Embrace Your Inner Geek Day"!
2010-07-12 17:00:00 Did you feel left out by International Geek Day because you don't really consider yourself to be a geek? Well, I'm of the opinion that there's a bit of geek in all of us, whether you know it or not. It all has to do with the things you're passionate about, which can be just about anything. You have comic-book geeks, science-fiction geeks, sports geeks and cooking geeks. And when it comes to technology, everybody can be a bit of a techie-geek, which is why the Geek Squad brings us some Do-It-Yourself tips for taking care of your tech to commemorate "Embrace Your Inner Geekness Day" tomorrow:"Geeks are born, not made."

How long would it take you to embrace LeBron?
2010-05-13 13:00:00 I was thinking today that for a title to feel special, you need to really embrace the team. Just having the uniform on the front is not enough. Not for me, and probably not for most die hard Bulls fans.If the Lakers had decided to trade their roster for ours at the trade deadline, I'd follow the team, and I'd be happy they won a title (if they won), but it wouldn't feel all that special. The talent wouldn't feel like it's ours....

Embrace the Suck
2009-09-09 10:01:00 "Over the course of 10 months in eastern Afghanistan, an Army specialist nicknamed Mud Puppy maintained a blog irreverently chronicling life at the front, from the terror of roadside bombs to the tyrannies of master sergeants.Often funny and always profane, the blog, Embrace the Suck (military slang for making the best of a bad situation), flies under the Army?s radar. Not officially approved, it is hidden behind a password-protected wall because the reservist does not want his superiors censoring it."?What comes out of my blog is the experiences of a soldier right in the middle of all of this,? Mud Puppy (a nickname for military police), who recently returned home to Illinois, wrote in a recent e-mail message. ?I think that people need to hear from us, more than they need to hear from the big whigs.

Riz Au Lait Vanille - Remembering A Grandmother's Embrace
2009-08-06 08:11:00 Type. Backspace. Type. Backspace. Type. Just keep putting one word in front of the other. Like your feet. That's how life is. You walk, you run or it passes you buy. I run. I laugh. I breathe. I stand straight. My grandmother used to tell me that all the time. No kidding. "Just keep walking. Stand straight. Breathe". To make sure I'd get the day's lesson right, she would sweeten the tone by giving me something sweet to nibble on. Most often it was her vanilla rice pudding. "Riz au lait" as we call it in France.Today I am borrowing some of your time to pay tribute to my grandmother, Paulette. No tears. No drama. No long drawn out sadness on my part. I am over all that. I have been over it even before she passed. Quietly. Softly. That's how I am spending my day. Flipping through photo albums. Trying to sort emotions, thoughts and feelings about her. Smiling. Mostly smiling. And I am finding a bit of comfort by preparing some rice pudding like she used to make us when we had a roug...

Get Ready To Embrace The New “Security” In Indian eCommerce
2009-08-04 11:17:00 Earlier in July, WATblog had written about the new RBI regulations that shall mandate every usage of credit cards online inside India to go through an extra layer of security. Credit card users will now have to register with the bank that has issued the credit card to you for a PIN. Called the ‘Verified by Visa‘ and ‘Mastercard Securecode‘, this code has to be entered everytime you make use of your credit card online. While this shall help in making your credit cards highly secure, this shall also be a huge deterrent in improving the state of ecommerce in India. Indian eCommerce, is highly concentrated around ticket booking, and according to Mr.Sanjay Aggarwal, GM IRCTC, train ticket bookings on IRCTC makes up for more than one thirds of Indian eCommerce. Not a pretty sight indeed, and it will take a lot more of education from the side of RBI to educate the public on how to move to the new secure transaction process smooth. All along, the onus had purely been...

INFLATION?S BACK: EMBRACE THE MADNESS
2008-06-06 18:14:00 Gas prices hit another record high. Soaring food prices ignite riots the world over. It should come as no surprise that a 71% increase in food prices since 2006 has the good citizens of South Africa, Morocco, Egypt, Ethiopia, Bangladesh and Mozambique up in arms. And if you thought things couldn’t get any worse, the Financial Times reported on Monday that U.S. mortgage rates soared last week amid a sharp rise in Treasury market yields. Make no mistake, inflation’s back. A Volker-like response may seem alarmist, even far-fetched, to many. However, investors are bracing for the Federal Reserve to raise rates…

Why the Linux world should embrace the BSD?s
2008-05-03 23:38:00 There are some in this world who believe that Linux is the king of all operating systems. In some ways I agree with them because Linux certainly is a big player in the server world. It may lack in market share in the the desktop sector, but that doesn't mean it's a lesser operating system. The GPL has been instrumental in this as Linux has grown, starting with a simple, barely functional kernel, and slowly, patiently evolving into the giant it is today.
