the beginning of his second term as a president. Celebrations
took place in front of some hundred thousands of spectators
at temperatures nearing 0°C [ N24 - German news channel ].
The following evaluation of Obama's proceedings during his first term as a President of the United States of America has been found on People's Network, the online edition of People's Daily, Beijing, on January 19, 2013:
分析称奥巴马新内阁在海外
彰显美国力量方面较为谨慎
According to [political] analysis, Obama's new cabinet has obviously become rather cautious when it comes to the aspect of U.S. strength abroad.
美国总统奥巴马第二任期开始在即。在扛过金融危机、通过医改法案、结束伊拉克战争、大胜共和党大选挑战之后，奥巴马将把美国引向何方？这一问题的答案，也许能从现已公布的新内阁人选看出端倪。
The second term of office for U.S. president Obama is near to begin. After having shouldered the financial crisis, having passed the bill of medical change, having ended the war in Iraq, and having [reached] a great victory over the Republican Party in the challenge of the general elections, what will be the direction to where Obama is leading America ? The answer to this question will permit to find a clue to the just proclaimed choice of new cabinet members.

A visitor to "blueprint news" coming from Israel was visiting my blogspot "Israel vs Iran - Preparing for High-Noon" in a search at bing.com, referring to "tel azeka - biblic walks", most probably hinting at the biblic town of Azekah. Maybe this is a mere coincidence, if not, you should know more about Azekah:
In the Bible, it is said to be the place where the Amorite kings were defeated by Joshua, and their army destroyed by a hailstorm (Joshua 10:10-11). Azekah was then given to the tribe of Judah (Joshua 15:20). Furthermore, it should have been near Azekah that David met with Goliath in their famous fight.
Another visitor coming from Severomorsk, home of Russia's Arctic Fleet, was searching for "Homer Simpson submarine commander". I ventured to find Homer Simpson's submarine for him:
