Facing a number of financial troubles, including increased competition, growing technology, and the recession, the NYSE has found itself in need of help. The deal places 60 percent ownership of the NYSE in the hands of Deutsche Boerse, which is incorporate in the Netherlands and be headquarters in Frankfurt and New York.

Nevertheless, three will be a great deal of regulatory and political backlash. Following shareholder and regulatory approval the plan is to close the agreement by the end of 2011.

Microsoft estimates that the size of the Kingdom’s cloud computing market is about SAR 108.75 billion.

The Snake by Oscar Brown Jr.

On her way to work one morning

Down the path along side the lake

A tender hearted woman saw a poor half frozen snake

His pretty colored skin had been all frosted with the dew

"Poor thing," she cried, "I'll take you in and I'll take care of you"

"Take me in tender woman

Take me in, for heaven's sake

Take me in, tender woman," sighed the snake

She wrapped him all cozy in a comforter of silk

And laid him by her fireside with some honey and some milk

She hurried home from work that night and soon as she arrived

She found that pretty snake she'd taken to had bee revived

"Take me in, tender woman

Take me in, for heaven's sake

Take me in, tender woman," sighed the snake

She clutched him to her *, "You're so beautiful," she cried

"But if I hadn't brought you in by now you might have died"

She stroked his pretty skin again and kissed and held him tight

Instead of saying thanks, the snake gave her a vicious bite

"Take me in, tender woman

Take me in, for heaven's sake

Take me in, tender woman," sighed the snake

"I saved you," cried the woman

"And you've bitten me, but why?

You know your bite is poisonous and now I'm going to die"

"Oh shut up, silly woman," said the reptile with a grin

"You knew **** well I was a snake before you took me in

"Take me in, tender woman

Take me in, for heaven's sake

Take me in, tender woman," sighed the snake

Mitt Romney Sent Millions to Mormon Church

Scope of Romney gifts to Mormon church unknown.

ByMATTHEW MOSK and BRIAN ROSS

January 17, 2012, 11:31 AM

Mitt Romney played as a Mormon leader, the private equity giant once run by the GOP presidential frontrunner carved his church a slice of several of its most lucrative business deals, securities records show, providing it with millions of dollars worth of stock in some of Bain Capital's most well-known holdings.

Romney has always been a major donor to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which requires that members "tithe," or give 10 percent of their income to the church. His family charity, called the Tyler Foundation, has given more than $4 million to the church in the past five years, including $1.8 million in 2008 and $600,000 in 2009. But because Romney, whose fortune has been estimated at $250 million, has never released his personal tax returns, the full extent of his giving has never been public.

Red, White and Blue Fund

stated on February 24, 2012 in a campaign ad:

Mitt Romney "left Massachusetts $1 billion in debt."

By Louis Jacobson March 2, 2012

Ad accuses Mitt Romney of leaving 'Massachusetts $1 billion dollars in debt'

• Using the $1 billion figure means taking the high end of a range that begins at $400 million.

….

The ad says Romney "left Massachusetts $1 billion in debt."

That is inaccurate or misleading in several ways. The Red, White and Blue fund cherry-picks the highest number from a range of estimates. Also, it was not a "debt." It was just one projected shortfall for the upcoming year – and one that ultimately didn't materialize.

Like most states, Massachusetts must have a balanced budget every year. And in keeping with that requirement, Patrick, the incoming governor, submitted a balanced budget within a few months.

We rate the claim False.

On Mormon tithing and a $100 billion investment fund

Tithing can’t be reduced to checking a box that says you support an insanely wealthy institution with yet more wealth and are suddenly right with the Lord because of it.

Mitt Romney and America’s Four Deficits

Sep 11, 2012

BERKELEY – The United States is beset by four deficits: a fiscal deficit, a jobs deficit, a deficit in public investment, and an opportunity deficit. The budget proposals put forward by presidential candidate Mitt Romney and his running mate, Paul Ryan, could reduce the fiscal deficit, but would exacerbate the other three.
