A组 巴西 克罗地亚 墨西哥 喀麦隆
出线预测： 巴西，克罗地亚. 如果喀麦隆表现好， 也可能挤掉克罗地亚成为小组第二。
B组 西班牙 荷兰 智利 澳洲
出线预测: 西班牙，荷兰。 除了澳洲， 其他3支队都有实力出线。 不能小看智利， 他们是在本大洲比赛， 有地理的优势。荷兰队在几周前和法国队的Friendly赛中表现十分糟糕。 如果到了世界杯，还没有大的起色， 那肯定是要被淘汰的。 西班牙是世界冠军，欧洲冠军。 如果西班牙要开始走下坡路了， 本组会爆冷门的， 那就是荷兰和智利出线。 这要看荷兰队的状态。
C组 哥伦比亚 希腊 象牙海岸 日本
出线预测： 哥伦比亚，日本。
D组 乌拉圭 哥斯达黎加 英格兰 意大利
出线预测： 意大利，乌拉圭。 英格兰实力不如意大利， 乌拉圭如同本土作战。弄不好乌拉圭会是小组第一出线。 对不起了， bye bye 英格兰队。
E组 瑞士 厄瓜多尔 法国 洪都拉斯
出线预测： 法国，瑞士。基本没有悬念，只是谁是小组第一。
F组 阿根廷 波黑 伊朗 尼日尼亚
出线预测： 阿根廷，尼日尼亚。 阿根廷第一没有悬念，第二也可能是波黑。
G组 德国 葡萄牙 加纳 美国
出线预测： 德国，美国。I cannot go against my own country. I hope luck will be on the USA side. This group is a huge challenge for team USA.We must get three points from the first game vs Ghana, then draw or beat Portugal on second game. In normal circumstance, it's difficult to beat a strong Portuguese side who has Cristiano Ronaldo. But this game is played under a tough weather condition at the city of Manaus. We should take advantage of the humidity.
H 比利时 阿尔及利亚 俄罗斯 韩国
出线预测： 比利时，俄罗斯。 比利时最近进步很快， 小组会拿到第一。 小组第二是俄国与韩国争。 应该看好卡佩罗的俄国。

cooking steak
preheat your oven to its max (500-550)
WITH a dry cast iron skillet in it. Take the skillet out, put in on your
stovetop burner turned all the way up. Kosher salt your steak (at least
an inch thick), rub it with a little veg oil, and into that screaming
hot pan for about 60-90 seconds on each side. Put the pan back in that
500-550 oven for 3-5 minutes depending on the steaks thickness &
your own cooking preference. Take 'em out, transfer to a cutting board
for at least 10 minutes to rest. Tent with aluminum foil if you wish.

Mobile isn't a device. It's data.
(Quoted in w3.ibm.com at http://w3.ibm.com/news/w3news/top_stories/2013/05/chq_opad_sp2_mobile_042013.html)
"When you look at the three elements of Smarter Planet — an instrumented world, an interconnected world and an intelligent world — mobile plays across all of it."
"A typical mobile user engages with a device 150 times every day, including 23 times for messages, nine times for social media and six times for news."
"You don't have a mobile device just as an isolated instrument. The whole purpose of the device is to connect–to various networks, to various applications, to various people–to be interconnected. And intelligence – how can we better gather all that data to improve the client experience? Mobile can be leveraged to gather data and push out business insights for better, faster decision making,"
I represent a couple of software companies that automate the development and testing of the Data Integration (ETL/ELT) process for building Data Warehouses and Marts. These products reduce the time-to-market, risk, data quality issues, resource requirements, complexity and overall costs of these projects (Youtube video links below). Some of the current customers we work with are: Citigroup, Allianz, Pimco, State Street, Oppenheimer, Nomura.
I'd like to learn more about how we can help with your current and future BI/DW projects. Please let me know if you'd like to discuss in more detail.
