MIAMI (AP) Declan Sullivan would have loved this weekend. For all the doubts his family has confronted in the 27 months since the death of their first-born son, his father is certain about that.
``Like a lot of the kids in our neighborhood, Declan grew up a Notre Dame fan,'' Barry Sullivan said. ``He heard the stories in our house, we took him to games, it was always a part of his experience and in a way, I guess, his identity. That's what made him so determined to go there.
``But as he got a little older, he began to appreciate what made it special, beyond just the football. ... Then he got into business school there and he'd call home, talking about the value of Notre Dame degree.
``And what I remember now, thinking about back then,'' he added, his voice trailing off, ``was how much he'd grown up.''
Declan Sullivan, named after an Irish saint, never got to finish that journey. He was killed in an accident on Oct. 27, 2010 - a fall off a 40-foot lift, from atop which he was taping a Notre Dame practice. He was 20.
What placed him there on a day when wind gusts pushed past 50 mph was the rambunctious spirit he displayed even as a kid, and the dream of getting himself on the football fields at South Bend one day. His family's presence at Monday's national championship game between Notre Dame and Alabama is a way of remembering that spirit, just as they honored his memory by creating a memorial fund - partnering with the Horizons for Youth organization - to help other youngsters set off in whatever directions they chose.
``That was the way Declan was,'' Barry Sullivan recalled. ``When he got something into his head, it was tough to shake.''
His father took it as a sign of his son's growing maturity when Declan altered his plan to get on the field, telling Barry he planned to trade in his shoulder pads and the football team for a trumpet and the jazz band in his senior year of high school. But his plan to make it into the marching band didn't pan out, either. Then one of his professors at Notre Dame mentioned there might be a chance to work as a videographer for the football team, and all those days Declan spent lugging his family's video camera around, filming everything, made it seem a comfortable fit.
When his sister, Gwyneth, followed him to Notre Dame, the Sullivans brought along their third child, Macartan, on road trips from their home in suburban Chicago, and the games became family weekends.
``He'd be assigned to film different aspects of the games, but we'd always all meet up in the same spot, on the walk between the practice fields and athletic department building where he had to turn in his cameras. When we go back there now,'' Barry Sullivan recalled, ``it's still the place we meet afterward.''
A memorial plaque marks the spot now, barely two dozen steps from where Sullivan fell to his death.
``Sadness, I guess is what I remember most about that time,'' Notre Dame lineman Mike Golic Jr., said. ``Declan's a guy we all miss a lot and it's hard to imagine what they went through. I have all the respect in the world for his family, for the way they carried themselves and how they've handled it since.''
In the immediate aftermath, there were fingers pointed, calls for accountability and speculation about lawsuits. The Sullivans anguished over mistakes made, knew only too well his death could have been prevented. Yet they remained quiet throughout.
``We heard it, all of it, the speculation, the liability claims, but that was not our first impulse and frankly, we never found reason to think any differently,'' Barry Sullivan said. ``We kept quiet first out of a respect for privacy and also because an investigation was going on.
``But we never felt the need to pursue any legal action. We never felt like we had to teach anybody a lesson. ... At every juncture, they treated us with kindness and concern, sympathy and obviously, they accepted responsibility for what had happened. We had great sorrow of our own to deal with, but it was plain that they were suffering, too. Maybe if we'd been confronted with a cold, unfeeling institution, we would have felt different.
``But Alison (Drumm, his wife) and I looked at each other and we just kind of realized,'' he concluded. ```If we don't pursue this, nobody else can, either.'''
The state of Indiana and university conducted investigations. Notre Dame paid a $42,000 fine to the state for safety violations.
A moment of silence was observed before the next game against Tulsa, when the Irish came out with shamrock decals with Sullivan's initial on their helmets. The gestures that meant the most to the Sullivans were the private conversations with the Rev. Paul Doyle and university president, the Rev. John Jenkins, whose candid admission in an e-mail sent to the Notre Dame community concluded, ``Declan Sullivan was entrusted to our care, and we failed to keep him safe.''
Some people are dismayed to this day that was enough for the Sullivans. Yet they never looked back, determined only how they could go forward. They wondered about whether they could return to South Bend and find even traces of the joy the place held for them once.
``We had questions, `Would the place seem as special as it did before? Would there always be a cloud over it?''' Barry Sullivan recalled.
``Then, the day after funeral, our daughter took the lead. She had classes the next day and told us, `That's where I want to be.' And the first few times, there was that sense of sorrow. But the memorial helped, the warmth showed by the people who embraced us helped.''

Portland restaurant that closed because of rat infestation closes again, for renovations
PORTLAND, Maine (AP) � A popular restaurant and comedy club that were temporarily closed because of a rat infestation in Maine's largest city are closed again, this time for renovations.
The Porthole, Comedy Connection and Harbour's Edge banquet hall were closed Sept. 13 by a city health inspector for numerous violations and then reopened two days later.
Kenneth MacGowan, the wharf owner and landlord, tells the Portland Press Herald (http://bit.ly/PLXTta) that Porthole owner Oliver Keithly informed him that he may vacate the building at month's end.
But Keithly says he hopes to work out a plan to renovate and reopen. He says he'd planned kitchen renovations this winter but accelerated the schedule after the health inspection and press coverage.

Marco & Luca now serving at Seminole Square
They've conquered the Mall and the Corner (and even have their own theme song), and now Marco & Luca's dumplings have landed in the Seminole Square Shopping Center on Route 29.
Located in the former Aesthetic Associates day spa space at 176 Zan Road, it will be the biggest of their three locations, and according to Dragana Katalina-Sun–- one half of the husband and wife team whose children's names have become synonymous with cheap, tasty, and piping hot dumplings–- her husband, Sun Da, has plans to add a little musical entertainment to the mix and perhaps even some Dim Sum. Yum!
For now, says Katalina-Sun, the place is open on a sparse schedule as they iron a few things out, but as soon as the new year begins, they'll be on a regular schedule.
20 comments
It's a Christmas miracle!
Dim sum, please. Please.
I also was at Marco & Luca (Seminole Square) on New Year's Eve. They were getting ready to close but stayed open to make us a to-go order of dumplings. They were very good.
I rove dumprings!!!!
Now, where's Seminole Square?
Seminole Square is up 29 North. Turn Right at Chili's. Also can turn in at Cheeseburger in Paradise.
Great news...I work up that way and love Marco and Luca's. Theirs is a great business model...work your way forward rather than buy your way forward. Smart people.
Hmmmmm, do people still not realize that they don't make these dumplings fresh?? It's all frozen and they just boil them and sell them. If you go to that asian store located near burger king you buy a bag of frozen dumpling for about 4 bucks. You get like 30 dumplings and thats what they do to. It's a great business plan though. They sell what like 6 dumplings for like the price of a frozen bag. So they can make a killing on those. It's just funny people say how great the food is when it's just frozen dumplings and spaghetii noodles.
Yes, but you have to include the ambiance of that little hole in the wall "walk up" service area on the DTM where they started out. That along with their hard-scrabble emigrant story is the real business model.
Ah, don't all restaurants buy food in bulk for cheaper, some of it frozen for certain restaurants, and sell it for more in their restaurant? Isn't that the whole idea of a restaurant business? Plus, they prepare the food for you, and I know Maro & Luca's creates a sauce for the dumplings. Same for their noodle dish. Yes, I can go to the grocery store and buy spaghetii noodles, steak, and chicken for cheaper, but that's not the point. What's yours?
Merry Christmas, Ray!
Hey forget about Jimmy whatever-his-name-is. These guys are the real food article in Cville. They make great food and want a reasonable price in return. Isn't that what it's about?
Agree with Ray. If they're known for one thing they should at least make it. That's his point.
Oh Ray you've crushed my enthusiasm. Dang those frozen dumplings are good though and there's no insufferable "we are demi-gods because we cook" nonsense to endure.
French cuisine is the best in the world
just sayin, the last time i ate at marco and luca's on the dtm i got sick...it doesn't look like their sanitation is up to code...
@Ray - exactly. I'll take what you noted a step further and point out that the reason they're so successful despite selling frozen dumplings and spaghetti noodles that anybody can buy at the grocery store is because people have just gotten that bad about cooking for themselves or bringing their own lunch to work. They'd rather pay somebody else marked up prices for simple items they could have prepared themselves....and probably done better.
I just don't understand why anyone would waste money on food. There is plenty of food thrown out everywhwere! Go to any store that sells food or any restaurant and just look in the trash.
@cvillain4 - the place on the Mall has been frickin' immaculate every time I've been there. I've no worries at all about their sanitation or food prep.
I had a delightful new years eve dinner for $7.50 at Marco Luca. Cutting edge, nope. Authentic, not really. Quality ingredients, not so much. Tasty, filling and cheap, hell yea.
Yeah, my point was a lot of people thought they made all the dumplings themselves. Just wanted to point that out and nothing else. I mean people are going go go ga ga over frozen dumplings and just imagine how they would be if it was actually the good hand made stuff. Oragasm galore

The Critical Metals Report: Chris, you have been watching the graphite space for a long time. Prices shot up at the end of 2011 to as much as $2,700/tonne, but have come down since. What is behind this volatility and where could prices go from here?
Chris Berry: We need to remember that graphite is an industrial mineral. As such, it is subject to the vagaries of global growth. We've seen a softening of GDP growth in many countries throughout the world, notably in China. This, more than anything, has pushed graphite prices down. While graphite prices are high by some historical measures, the recent decrease is a welcome sign and adds validity to our long-term super cycle thesis supporting higher commodity pricesthough not indefinitely higher and not in a linear fashion.
I am reading a book called "The $10 Trillion Dollar Prize" that attempts to predict the size of the consumer market in China and India by 2020. The book states that a Chinese citizen born in 2009 will consume 38 times as many goods as his or her grandparents. In India, a child born in 2009 will consume 13 times as many goods as his or her grandparents. Though this is only a prediction, it is evidence of the long-term super cycle in that those people born today are more cognizant of life's possibilities and will aspire to a higher quality of lifeimplying steady commodity demand. Graphite is used in roughly 180 different products and its ubiquity is an indication to me that more graphite of all types will be needed on world markets in the future. While graphite prices have fallen, they have not fallen as far or as fast as other commodities such as iron ore or coal.
We believe that the decrease in graphite prices has been overdone somewhat and has bottomed. While the fall in graphite pricing is no doubt due to an uncertain macroeconomic environment, we view this as temporary and still believe that graphite (flake graphite, in particular) is a tight market with room for a small number of new producers in coming years.
TCMR: What role does China play in the graphite market? Is the country's dominance as pronounced as it is in the rare earth market?
CB: China is not as dominant in graphite as it is in rare earths. The main difference is that a downstream supply chain for graphite end products exists outside of Chinathis is not the case for rare earths. Nonetheless, governments throughout the world have labeled graphite as a critical material because China controls up to 80% of natural graphite production. China's role as a global engine of growth, commodity demand and commodity supply can't be understated. China's consolidation of amorphous graphite mines (from 230 down to 20, according to Industrial Minerals) in the name of minimizing environmental impact will no doubt curtail amorphous supply, with the goal of ensuring domestic resources serve domestic needs first and international needs second.
TCMR: What if rumors of China's growth curve taking a dive are correct? What will that mean for graphite prices?
CB: We are acutely aware that the Chinese growth engine is slowing (as measured by declining GDP) and are of the opinion that the looming supply consolidation within China outweighs any softening of demand in the near term.
It is important to remember that a commodity like graphite has multiple avenues of demand. This is one of the reasons we like it so much. With the forecast growth in next-generation technologies (batteries) underpinned by steady demand from current day uses (steel) and sweeping consolidation among the largest global producer of graphite, we would submit graphite is a sound investment over the long term.
TCMR: It looks like there is a lot of competition in the space. Your junior mining graphite index shows 69 companies managing 150 projects in 13 countries. How many can be profitable?
CB: It is much too early to tell how many can be profitable. Of those 69 companies, only six have NI 43-101- or JORC-compliant resource estimates. Of those six, only two have any sort of advanced study completed, such as a preliminary economic assessment, and only one has a bankable feasibility study completed. We would need to know much more about the size and composition of a company's deposit and the potential economics before we undertake a valuation exercise and start making estimates of profitability.
A graphite company will only be profitable if it has agreements with end users to sell its product to. It's important to remember that the graphite business is one that rests on long-term relationships where end users and graphite producers negotiate price based on a specific end product. It could take time for junior companies breaking into the graphite market to establish these relationships. I think this will be a challenging hurdle for any graphite junior exploration company to navigatethough not insurmountable.
With respect to the index, on an equal-weighted basis, its overall returns have increased by 49.8% year to date. Much of these gains have come from the "bubble" in graphite exploration interest earlier this year. The index is actually down by -7.59% over the last six months. The market cap-weighted returns don't differ that much from the equal-weighted returns, and this tells us that the companies with the largest market capitalizations are responsible for much of the price movement in the index.
TCMR: What are some of the companies that you think are well positioned in this space?
CB: We see Northern Graphite Corporation (NGC:TSX.V; NGPHF:OTCQX) as a survivor and leader in this industry. Last week the company submitted its mine closure plan to the Ontario Ministry of Northern Development and Mines. If the ministry accepts the plan before year-end, Northern Graphite can begin construction at Bissett Creek, subject to a financing with the goal of a mid-2014 production date.
TCMR: Didn't the company's bankable feasibility study disappoint the market earlier this year?
CB: Though Northern Graphite's shares did sell off in the wake of the release of the bankable feasibility study, given the company's proven ability to execute on its goals, we find it puzzling that the stock has been pummeled this year. Project economics can change due to a host of factors and cost control is key to ensuring project completion to cash-flow generation. We anticipate news flow from Northern Graphite in the coming months from a 3,000-meter drill program, which can help optimize project economics. While Northern Graphite has fallen by -15% year to date, the shares are still trading 60% above the IPO price and have traded much higher. As other advanced graphite projects "move the needle" and release advanced studies of their deposits, we wouldn't be surprised to read news of cost inflation or other challenges.
TCMR: In addition to the filing of the mine closure plan, what catalysts are in the works for Northern Graphite?
CB: First, as we mentioned above, is the necessity to finance Bissett Creek. The shape of this funding could take several forms (a debt/equity split, for instance), and so finding a partner(s) to successfully accomplish this will mitigate the financing risk associated with the project and clear another hurdle.
Second, the 3,000-meter drill program I mentioned, which Northern Graphite began last month, consists of 65 holes. The company's goal is to upgrade Inferred resources to the Indicated category, helping improve the economics at Bissett Creek. It may also offer the potential to lower operating costs.
The bankable feasibility study currently states that the operating costs for the first five years of mining are $851/ton of concentrate. Obviously, a decrease in operating costs can help insulate against price volatility of different types of graphite. We have written frequently of the importance of understanding the "footprint" associated with each graphite deposit. These drill results can clarify and improve the attractive footprint Bissett Creek already offers. We are hopeful for results before year end.
TCMR: Any advice for investors looking to get into the graphite market?
CB: Many people ask me if graphite is still the "one to watch," or if it has had its day in the sun. My response is that graphite, due to its many unique properties, will remain the "one to watch" for some time. It's true that there was a huge run up in graphite exploration company share prices earlier in the 2012 with a resulting collapse, much the same as we saw with rare earths and lithium shares. I think this clouded graphite's true importance and significance in the workings of the global economy. Graphite's strength is in its ubiquity in current-day and future uses. Despite the fact that global steel demand is stagnant, the battery business is exhibiting strong growth. There are also huge sums of money going into materials science research surrounding battery technology and graphene. A breakthrough here could unleash major changes in how we generate and store electricity or fortify infrastructure.
The next 1218 months will be an exciting time to watch the graphite space. We are seeing Magnesita Refratarios SA (MAGG3:BZ) attempt to vertically integrate its operation in Brazil and graphite production come onstream in countries as far flung as Germany and Sri Lanka. Several graphite junior mining companies will be releasing studies of their deposits or maiden resource estimates soon, which I think will aid in valuation on a relative basis. While the near-term outlook for many industrial minerals is somewhat uncertain, investors can profit over the longer term in graphite by finding those companies with the right blend of pertinent management experience, high-quality deposits (both grade and tonnage) and locations in reliable political jurisdictions.
TCMR: Thank you for sharing your insights, Chris.
CB: You are welcome.

Britain faces yet another inquiry into price rigging–this time in energy markets. The Financial Services Authority has said it is investigating allegations that the country's six largest power companies are involved in rigging the prices of natural gas and that the benchmark prices produced by a single company are unreliable.
Bloomberg reported Tuesday that after price-reporting company ICIS Heren said in October that "unusual trading activity" may have affected gas prices, the FSA undertook an investigation. Next-day natural gas prices in the U.K. have gone up by 24% in 2012 during seasonal demand increases as well as supply disruptions from Norway.
Energy Secretary Ed Davey said in the report that the government is "extremely concerned" about the possibility that manipulations of the wholesale natural gas market may have been perpetrated by some of the largest power companies in the country.
In a statement, Davey said that the FSA had notified the government of its investigation and that his office would not interfere. The statement said in part, "I am extremely concerned about these allegations and will be keeping in close touch with the regulators while they get to the bottom of this."
A Guardian report said a former trader working as a reporter gathering prices had expressed concern over irregularities he saw on Sept. 28, which is an important date because it is the end of the financial year in the gas industry and can therefore have an outsized influence on future prices.
The report also said that the six largest companies were among those making an effort to boost or cut gas prices. The report also said that key benchmarks in the market are arrived at by a single price-reporting company, which makes them both unreliable and vulnerable to interactions between traders and reporters.
Energy regulator Ofgem said in the report that it had been provided data "relating to trading in the gas market and is looking into the issue." It added that, while it had limited powers in that venue, it would "consider carefully any evidence of market abuse brought to our attention as well as scope for action under all our other powers."
The energy secretary's office has said that it is "in the process of giving Ofgem more powers to tackle abuses."

Hi everybody,
I'm just a newbie to EJB and J2EE. I found the following problem when trying
to create a simple EJB system.
Firstly, i created the EJB application named converter (as shown in the
tutorial) and deployed it on the Sun J2EE 1.3 server using the deploytool (i
followed exactly the sun j2ee tutorial) and then got the client jar. I also
created the client application (just copied and then compiled the code in
the tutorial). But when i started the client app i found the following
exception: org.omg.CORBA.NO_PERMISSION
I though that the client application did not have sufficient previleges to
access the server and i tried to using the "j2ee" as the username and
password to connect to server (set them in the system properties) but the
server continued denying the client's access.
It's so funny that when i removed the J2EE 1.3 server and reinstalled a J2EE
1.2.1 server, the application worked well !
Could someone help me with this problem ?
BTW, Could someone tell me exactly what a j2ee client application needs to
call the bean, especialy when the client's running on a different machine.
Sun seems to be so ugly if they requires a whole j2ee server installed on
the client machine !
Thank in advance

Presented by Charles I. Plosser, President and Chief Executive Officer
Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia
Global Interdependence Center's Central Banking Series: Recovery 2013 — Strength or Stagnation?
Milan, Italy
May 16, 2013
PDF version (139 KB, 12 pages)
Note: President Plosser presented similar remarks on May 14, 2013 before the SNS (Center for Business and Policy Studies) and the SIFR (The Institute for Financial Research) in Stockholm, Sweden.
It is a pleasure to be here with my colleague, Eric Rosengren, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston, to continue this distinguished series of conferences on central banking hosted by the Global Interdependence Center (GIC). David Kotok, Michael Drury, and Ben Craig have gathered another impressive group of policymakers, academics, and economists to discuss the state of our recovery.
You may know that the GIC has been based in Philadelphia for more than 30 years, and for the past year, it has been a tenant in our building. I am assured that fact has had no influence on the order of our speakers this morning.
Around the world, central bankers and policymakers more generally have been challenged over the past five years as they struggled in the face of the worst global recession since the Great Depression. Thankfully, many economies around the world are now in modest recoveries. Yet no one can be satisfied with the pace of these recoveries. I have often described the progress of this global recovery as two steps forward and one step back again. Europe has particularly struggled, and many challenges remain.
This morning, I am going to concentrate on the outlook for the U.S. economy, which is now nearing the fourth anniversary of an economic recovery that officially began in mid-2009. Before I begin, though, I must note that the views I express here are my own and not necessarily those of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors or my colleagues on the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC).
I will start with a discussion of inflation, since in my view, preserving price stability is the most important function of a central bank. In a world of fiat money, monetary policy has the ultimate responsibility for preserving the purchasing power of a nation's currency. That is not to say that central bankers have always lived up to that responsibility. Over the 100-year history of the Federal Reserve, for instance, its price stability record has been mixed. At times, the Federal Reserve has been successful, but at other times, it has not. Federal Reserve policy contributed to the dramatic deflation of the 1930s, and it stoked the rapid inflation of the 1970s.
However, economists and central bankers have learned from the past. The U.S. has seen better inflation outcomes over the past 20 years. From 1972 to 1992, the average inflation rate in the U.S., as measured by the personal consumption expenditure, or PCE, price index was about 5.5 percent, largely reflecting the impact of the Great Inflation episode of the 1970s and the subsequent transition to lower inflation during the 1980s. But in the two decades since 1992, inflation has averaged around 2 percent per year. While these averages mask some variability, I believe the numbers suggest that the Fed has done a better job of achieving its objective of stable inflation in recent decades.
In January 2012, the FOMC announced, for the first time, an explicit long-run inflation target of 2 percent a year for the PCE price index. Being explicit about our inflation objective enhances the credibility of the Fed's commitment to price stability, which helps anchor inflation expectations and foster price stability and moderate long-term interest rates.
Over the past three years, average PCE inflation in the U.S. has been running about 1.8 percent, a bit below our 2 percent target. Although inflation has been running somewhat lower than this over the past four quarters, I expect it to return to our goal over the next year or two, as inflation expectations remain fairly well anchored near our goal. In fact, the participants in the Survey of Professional Forecasters released by the Philadelphia Fed just last week expected annual-average PCE inflation of 2 percent over the next 10 years. Should inflation expectations begin to fall, we might need to take action to defend our inflation goal, but at this point, I do not see inflation or deflation as a serious threat in the near term. However, I do believe that our extraordinary level of monetary accommodation will have to be scaled back, perhaps more aggressively than some think, to ensure that inflation over the medium term remains consistent with our target.
Let me turn now to other aspects of the U.S. economy, including the prospects for growth and employment.
According to the advance estimate of GDP for the first quarter of this year, U.S. economic growth rebounded to an annualized rate of 2.5 percent following a weak 0.4 percent growth rate in the fourth quarter of 2012, and the composition of that growth was encouraging. Consumer spending, which accounts for about 70 percent of the U.S. economy, made a solid contribution to growth, expanding at an annualized rate of 3.2 percent. This is the fastest rate of growth from consumers in two years and marks the fourth consecutive quarter of acceleration in spending growth. Some economists worried that the hike in the federal payroll tax at the beginning of 2013 would constrain consumer spending, but that has yet to materialize.
However, uncertainty over fiscal policy and doubts about the strength of the recovery appear to be dampening growth in business investment spending. This spending grew at less than a 4 percent annual rate in the first quarter compared with over 7 percent last year. Home construction has been more encouraging. Private residential investment registered its third consecutive quarter of annualized double-digit growth. These growth rates may sound more impressive than they are — we have to remember that housing activity, including home sales and starts, remains relatively low by historical standards. Nevertheless, housing does appear to be in a sustainable recovery, and house prices are rising. In the U.S., we follow several indexes for house prices. In February, both the Case-Shiller and Federal Housing Finance Agency home price indexes posted their highest year-over-year gains since mid-2006. Higher home prices will help strengthen the balance sheet of consumers, supporting consumption and new home construction. However, I do not believe we are going to see, nor should we seek to see, a return to the heady days of residential real estate activity that preceded the financial crisis.
Government spending, particularly in defense, has declined notably over the past three years. These declines reflect fiscal policy decisions and budgetary timelines, not business cycles. Netting out the decline in government spending, the private sector portions of GDP advanced at an annual rate of 3.3 percent in the first quarter.
Overall, the U.S. economy is growing at a pace that is close to trend. My forecast is that the pace of growth in the U.S. will pick up to slightly above trend and average close to 3 percent through 2014. Based on the Federal Open Market Committee's most recent Summary of Economic Projections, my outlook for 2013 is a little higher than the central tendency and on the lower end of the central tendency for 2014.
My forecast of 3 percent growth should allow for continued improvements in labor market conditions, including a gradual decline in the unemployment rate, similar to the trend we have seen over the past three years, which was a 0.7- to 0.8-percentage point decline per year. Continuing at such a pace would lead to an unemployment rate close to 7 percent at the end of 2013 and a rate below 6.5 percent by the end of 2014.
Indeed, this year we have already seen the unemployment rate fall from 7.9 percent in January to 7.5 percent in April. Employers added 165,000 jobs in April, but the more positive news came in the revisions for February and March. The revised data indicate that firms added 332,000 jobs in February and 138,000 in March. The upward revisions for these two months added 114,000 jobs.
Let me now turn to the implications for monetary policy.
Over the past five years, the Federal Reserve and many other central banks have taken extraordinary actions to support the economic recovery. The Fed has lowered its policy rate — the federal funds rate — to essentially zero, where it has stayed for more than four years. Since the policy rate cannot go lower, the Fed has attempted to provide even more accommodation through large-scale asset purchases, or quantitative easing. These purchases have greatly expanded the size and lengthened the maturity of the assets on the Fed's balance sheet.
In addition, the Fed has provided "forward guidance" on the future path of interest rates. Specifically, it has indicated that as long as the outlook for inflation over the one- to two-year horizon does not move above 2.5 percent and inflation expectations remain well anchored and as long as the unemployment rate is above 6.5 percent, the Committee expects to keep the federal funds rate at essentially zero. The Committee has also indicated that it anticipates that the highly accommodative stance of monetary policy will remain appropriate for a considerable time after the economic recovery strengthens.
Currently, the Fed is purchasing $40 billion of agency mortgage-backed securities and $45 billion of longer-term Treasury securities each month. The Fed is also reinvesting the proceeds of maturing or prepaid mortgage-backed securities and is rolling over maturing Treasury securities at auction. As a result, the Fed's balance sheet, which includes about $3.3 trillion in assets, is growing at a pace of about $85 billion a month.
These purchases of longer-maturity assets are intended to put downward pressure on longer-term interest rates in the hope that households and businesses will choose to spend today rather than save. Whatever one's views of the benefits, these changes in the size and composition of the balance sheet pose challenges for the Fed's eventual exit from this period of extraordinary accommodation and for the normalization of monetary policy.
Of course, before the Fed can begin to implement any sort of exit from the massive volume of accommodation it has put in place, it must stop its attempts to increase accommodation through its ongoing asset purchase program. I was not in favor of the September and December decisions to further grow the balance sheet because I believed that the costs exceeded the expected benefits. Nevertheless, the Committee chose to establish the current open-ended asset purchase program that would adapt to changing economic conditions, with particular attention to the labor market.
The FOMC has provided forward guidance about its asset purchases. In particular, the Committee has indicated that it anticipates it will continue to purchase these assets until there is substantial improvement in labor markets in a context of price stability. But the most recent FOMC statement also made clear that the Committee is prepared to increase or reduce the pace of its purchases to maintain its assessment of appropriate policy accommodation as the outlook for the labor market or inflation changes. In addition, in determining the size, pace, and composition of its asset purchases, the Committee continues to weigh the likely efficacy and costs of such purchases, as well as the extent of progress toward its economic objectives.
Based on the stated views of the Committee regarding the flexibility in pace of purchases, I believe that labor market conditions warrant scaling back the pace of purchases as soon as our next meeting. Moreover, unless we see a significant reversal in current trends that jeopardizes my forecast of near 7 percent unemployment rate by the end of this year, then I anticipate that we could end the program before year-end. Let's look at some of the data.
In the six months through September 2012, when the decision to initiate the latest open-ended asset purchase program was made, nonfarm payrolls had increased an average of 130,000 per month, and the unemployment rate had averaged 8.1 percent. In the most recent six months, from November 2012 through April 2013, nonfarm payrolls have increased on average 208,000 per month — a 60 percent increase — and the unemployment rate has averaged 7.7 percent. As I noted earlier, April's unemployment rate has now reached 7.5 percent.
Moreover, the average duration of unemployment has fallen, the share of long-term unemployment has dropped, and hours worked and earnings have risen. While further progress would certainly be desirable, I believe the evidence is consistent with a significantly improving labor market. Thus, it is appropriate to begin scaling back the pace of asset purchases.
Indeed, in my view, were the FOMC to refrain from reducing the pace of its purchases in the face of this evidence of improving labor market conditions, it would undermine the credibility of the Committee's statement that the pace of purchases will respond to economic conditions. Similarly, if there were sufficient evidence that conditions in labor markets had deteriorated, I would expect the FOMC to consider increasing the pace of purchases. After all, this is the meaning of state-contingent monetary policymaking. But if we reach the point that markets only expect us to move in one direction — that is, toward more easing — and we become reluctant to dial back on purchases over concerns of disappointing or surprising markets, then we will find ourselves in a very difficult position going forward.
I want to emphasize that in this state-contingent framework, reducing the pace or even ending asset purchases need not be the start of an exit strategy or more aggressive tightening. Nor would it indicate that an increase in the policy rate was imminent. Instead, these actions would slow and then halt efforts to continuously expand the level of accommodation by increasing the size of the balance sheet. Given the improving economy, dialing back asset purchases is an appropriate response.
I think we should also consider rethinking our reinvestment strategy. There are no longer any short-term Treasuries in the Fed's portfolio. Rather than reinvesting maturing and prepaid assets into longer-term assets, it might be prudent to reinvest into shorter-term assets. That would provide more flexibility in managing our balance sheet as we move forward.
So let me offer some thoughts about exit.
Last month, I recounted some principles that I first shared in March 2011, which I believe should guide the Fed's eventual exit from its highly accommodative policies.1
My preference is that the Fed should seek to return monetary policy to an operating framework in which the federal funds rate is the primary policy instrument. In my preferred policy framework, the federal funds rate target would be set in a corridor above the interest rate paid on excess reserves and below the discount rate (also called the primary credit rate). This corridor system is similar to the system that the Fed used before the crisis and is similar to corridor systems used by other central banks around the world.
An alternative framework would have the Fed use the interest rate on excess reserves as its policy rate to establish a floor for market rates. In this floor system, monetary policy could be implemented with no limit on the size of the Fed's balance sheet. I am skeptical of such an approach and prefer the corridor system, in part because it constrains the size of the balance sheet, thereby making it less likely that the Fed's balance sheet could be used for purposes outside the purview of monetary policy and because the fed funds rate is a market interest rate.
To ensure that the fed funds rate trades above the interest rate on excess reserves, normalization will require a significant reduction in the volume of reserves in the banking system, which will result in a much smaller balance sheet for the Fed. The extent of that reduction will depend on the amount of reserves in the system when we begin to tighten policy. Currently, reserves total more than $1.8 trillion and are growing. They were only about $25 billion before the crisis.
I also believe that normalization should include returning the composition of the Fed's portfolio to mostly short-term U.S. Treasury securities, as it was prior to the crisis. This means that mortgage-backed securities on the Fed's balance sheet would have to be eliminated. They could be allowed to run off via maturity or prepayment, or the Fed could sell these assets.
The framework I first proposed in March 2011 is largely consistent with the exit strategy principles that the Committee announced a few months later in June 2011. And while a lot has changed since then, I believe these general principles still apply. In particular, we should seek to return to operating in a corridor system, where the fed funds rate is the primary policy instrument. The balance sheet should shrink in size to enable such a system to operate. And the composition of the Fed's balance sheet should return to all U.S. Treasuries.
The specific timing and sequence of the steps detailed in the FOMC's exit strategy announcement may require some adjustments in light of the larger, and still growing, size of our balance sheet. If asset purchases continue at current levels, reserve balances could grow to $2.25 trillion or more. That may require the Fed to sell assets at a somewhat faster pace than contemplated in 2011. Faster sales of assets also would heighten the risk that the Fed would sell longer-term assets at a loss, which would affect the Fed's remittances to the Treasury. There might even be negative remittances. While that would not impair the Fed's ability to implement monetary policy, it would certainly be noticed, especially at a time when the federal government and the public are keenly focused on the need to reduce deficits. This would also come at a time when the Fed is paying higher interest to banks on their reserve balances at the Fed.
The complexity of shrinking the balance sheet is nuanced. It involves interactions among the overall size and composition of the balance sheet, the pace at which interest rates may have to rise, the effectiveness of interest on reserves and other reserve-draining tools, and the sensitivities to the prospects of negative remittances to the U.S. Treasury. We are in uncharted territory in this regard and should be appropriately cautious in specifying too detailed a path that we may not be able to follow.
In summary, the U.S. economy continues to grow at a moderate pace, and I believe that the fundamentals continue to gradually improve, thus supporting my projection of annual growth of around 3 percent in 2013 and 2014.
Prospects for labor markets will continue to improve gradually, but I believe we may see rates near 7 percent by the end of this year and a rate below 6.5 percent by the end of 2014. I believe inflation expectations will be relatively stable and inflation will remain at moderate levels in the near term.
Eventually, economic conditions will improve to the point at which the Fed will need to begin to exit from this period of extraordinary accommodation and normalize its framework for monetary policy. Although there have been significant changes in monetary policy and the balance sheet over the past two years, I generally subscribe to the exit strategy principles adopted by the FOMC in June 2011.
Yet the timing and pace of the exact steps may have to be adjusted, given the changes in our balance sheet since June 2011. But one thing is certain: A precursor to an exit must be to slow and then halt the continued expansion of the balance sheet. This would not necessarily indicate that increases in the policy rate were imminent. Rather, it would indicate that efforts to increase accommodation were coming to a close. The FOMC's forward guidance is that asset purchases will be increased or decreased based on the outlook for labor markets and inflation and that purchases will end when we have seen substantial improvement in the labor market conditions in a context of price stability.
In my view, labor market conditions have improved sufficiently for the Fed to reduce the pace of its asset purchases. Should labor market conditions and inflation continue to evolve as I project, then I would view ending the purchases by year-end as appropriate. In fact, I believe the FOMC would undermine the credibility of its own statement if it fails to adjust the pace of asset purchases in response to economic conditions.

I remember tucking my son into bed one time when he was 8 years old, and being amazed at the kind of wisdom he displayed. He said, "Dad, let's pray that people all over the world will go to church."
I thought that was a great thing to pray for, so I said, "Let's go for it!" But I reminded him, "Nathan, there's a lot of people who come to church for the wrong reason. They come because it makes them feel good, or to hear the band, or to find a boyfriend or girlfriend. Not everybody in church is a Christian." And he said, "Yeah, but Dad, it doesn't matter why they come. Even if they come for the wrong reasons, Jesus can reach out and grab hold of them."
I thought, He's got it! He understands the power of God and the compassion of Jesus Christ.
I am forever in awe of God's compassion. It's one of the defining characteristics of our Lord. He came to this earth because of His compassion for a lost world, and His entire life and ministry were marked by a deep compassion for the needs and the frailties of mankind.
As I see it, Jesus' compassion had a dual role. He met people's physical needs, but at the same time He aimed at their spiritual needs. Jesus gave people rest for their body and soul.
Mark 6:31 gives us just a small example—one that is sometimes overlooked—when Jesus addressed His closest followers, the Twelve Apostles. He said: "'Come aside by yourselves to a deserted place and rest a while.' For there were many coming and going, and they did not even have time to eat."
Imagine being so pressed by the demands and needs of others that you don't even have time to grab a sandwich (or falafel). Now, that's busy!
Jesus and the disciples always had crowds around them. These people didn't all come for the right reasons. Some of them came out of curiosity. Some of them came to see some great, awesome work. But others came to be part of the bread line—they just wanted a free meal. But no matter what their reason for coming, Jesus had compassion for them. He was ready to receive them and to meet their deepest needs.
We all need to understand and to remind ourselves when we feel stressed or lonely or overburdened that Jesus always sees us, and that He has great compassion for us.
Mark further informs us, "And Jesus, when He came out, saw a great multitude and was moved with compassion for them, because they were like sheep not having a shepherd. So He began to teach them many things" (Mark 6:34).
All through the Scripture, we read of the compassion of Jesus. Here, the word for compassion comes from the Greek word splagchnon, which refers to the gut or intestine, because the Hebrews believed that's where the emotions resided. We have an expression that is similar to this; we call it feeling something in the pit of your stomach. You know that feeling if you've ever been told that someone you love has died; you feel it in the pit of your stomach.
Jesus had that kind of compassion, that deep gut feeling toward people as He observed them and ministered to them. He didn't see them as just a number; He saw them as needy individuals, like sheep who needed the care of a shepherd.
I'm impressed with the many times Scripture shows us the compassion of Jesus Christ. He had compassion on the widow whose son had died, and He raised him to life (Luke 7:11-13). Many times when He healed people from sickness and disease, He felt compassion on those who were afflicted (see Matthew 14:14, 20:34; Mark 1:41, 5:19).
Even in the garden of Gethsemane, where in great personal anxiety He sweated great drops of blood, Jesus was still concerned about His disciples. When the Roman guards came to arrest Him, He said, "You're after Me. Let them go." His compassion and care for those He loved never ceased. Even on the cross, engulfed in His own excruciating suffering, as He was hanging and bleeding for our sins, He remembered to give His mother into the care of the Apostle John. No matter what He was experiencing, He had compassion on people. He was concerned about their needs.
And so when the people came to Him from the Galilee region, He had compassion on them. He taught them, because He knew their greatest need was to understand the truth about God. He was concerned for their lives and their eternal destiny. He was concerned for their comfort, and so He had them sit. He was concerned for their bodily needs, and so He fed them.
But that simple, quiet moment in Mark 6:31 shows the same compassion in perhaps a more poignant way. He was concerned for His disciples, that the demands on them were too great, and so He called upon them to come aside and rest.
I believe Christ still deals with us in that same way. He calls us to come aside and rest. You might say, "But there's so much work to be done for Christ!" After all, Jesus says in Matthew 9:37 that "the harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few." Yes, that is true, and those who labor for the Lord are to be commended. But your all-powerful, all-knowing, untiring Master is aware of your situation, and He knows that you sometimes need a break. So come aside and rest.
Jesus said, "Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest" (Matthew 11:28). This means rest from labor, from worry, from fatigue and from being overburdened. He calls you to find rest for your soul.
Are you weary? Heavy-laden? Overburdened because of all the needy people and the tasks all around you? If you're tempted to keep carrying those burdens as some kind of "badge of honor," remember this: Jesus doesn't want you to "burn out for God." As the saying goes, "Get over yourself!" Come aside and rest.
And to those of you who are burdened by life and its worries, but have not yet surrendered to this loving Savior and Lord: Choose Christ! As my son put it, Christ wants to reach out and grab hold of you! Why not reach out and take His hand today? Let Him be your resource, your resting place, your Redeemer! ©2012 Skip Heitzig

Acetyl L Carnitine
Acetyl L-Carnitine is one of the body's most valuable amino-acids, providing essential support for fat-busting and energy-making processes in a healthy body.
The way acetyl-L-carnitine works with your mitochondria helps your body metabolise fat. Thanks to its energy supporting benefits it's popular with people who have an active and youthful lifestyle.
Alpha Lipoic Acid
Alpha-lipoic acid is a naturally occurring vitamin-like nutrient that has been intensely investigated as a therapeutic agent for a variety of conditions involving the body's nervous, cardiovascular, immune, and detoxification systems.It is used by the body to metabolise food and for energy production. Works with other nutrients such as vitamins C & E to defend against free radicals.
Known as NAC, a sulphur-containing amino acid that acts as a stabiliser for the formation of protein structures, and is also necessary for the formation of glutathione.
Molybdenum and Selenium are essential trace minerals that facilitate the production of several important enzymes.
Rosemary contains flavonoids which are anti-inflammatory, and a lipid-soluble antioxidant. These flavonoids also reduce platelet stickiness and improve vascular health.
It is a super-antioxidant that fights inflammation in the body, detoxifies the body, offers liver support and plays a major role in boosting the immune system.
The active component of Gingko Bilbao is Gingkolide. Gingko also has the ability to improve peripheral and brain circulation making it vital for the slowing of memory loss.
Produced in small amounts within the body, CoQ10 (co-enzyme Q10) is a vitamin-like nutrient involved in the production of ATP, the primary source of cellular energy for use throughout the body.
The heart muscle needs and uses CoQ10 as it is permanently active and it is important to ensure it's intake as we get older to support the heart muscle. It is even more necessary for those taking statin medication, as these drugs can inhibit the availability of CoQ10 from natural sources.

Supreme Court Asks About Gay Marriage and Kids
A serious discussion in the Supreme Court, during hearings over California's ban on gay marriage, drew laughter when questions turned to procreation. Justices honed in on issues related to the impact of same-sex marriage on children. WSJ's Jason Bellini reports. Image: AP

Budget Cuts Endanger Rhode Island's Most Vulnerable
From delaying span repair to limiting school funding, cuts cause severe strain.
Oct. 13, 2008 -- If you want to get a sense of how your state government may look soon, check out Rhode Island.
The governor and state legislature were forced to make budget cuts that are affecting nearly every aspect of life.
From postponing bridge repairs -- about half of bridges are considered deficient -- to cutting back hours at the Department of Motor Vehicles, to raising fees at senior citizen centers.
The state has also been unable to provide additional funding for struggling public schools.
At the University of Rhode Island, experienced professors were encouraged to retire in exchange for less experienced, less expensive faculty.
The budget cuts have affected the school "in every way possible," said Brenna McCabe, editor in chief of the Good Five Cent Cigar, the University of Rhode Island's student newspaper.
"I think they're under the impression that the quality of education here is decreasing," McCabe said.
Rhode Island may be a canary in the coal mine. This state, which has the second highest unemployment rates in the nation, was hit hard by the housing bubble, went into recession and had to make significant budget cuts. Hundreds of city and state workers have had their benefits cut. Now other states are catching up.
Virginia laid off 570 state workers; Missouri is delaying plans to fix its main airport; Minnesota scrapped a plan to expand its 911 system. And California said it might have to ask the Federal Reserve System for a loan to cover expenses at schools, police stations and nursing homes.
As often happens when budgets are cut, it is Rhode Island's poor who suffer the most.
The main food bank has seen its state funding slashed by half -- at a time when it's seeing a flood of new clients.
There is "more need and more people who are really desperate for help," said Andrew Schiff, executive director of Rhode Island Community Food Bank. "And that's what we're really concerned about. It's not even winter."
At the state's largest homeless shelter, which is also dealing with big budget cuts, the living room has turned into a makeshift bedroom for 16 women. At night, the chairs double as beds.
The staff is worried it they might be forced to cut back on much-needed services.
"The shelter itself holds 40 women and we have 60 right now and it's only October," said Anne Nolan, president of Crossroad Rhode Island's homeless and women's shelter. "We are seeing women who are getting kicked off welfare and women who are losing their jobs, and by the time winter rolls around, I can't imagine what's going to happen at that point."
Facing unprecedented budget cuts, all sectors are feeling the strain of limited resources to go around.
"There's a real concern that the cuts are hurting the most vulnerable people in the state," said Gov. Donald Carcieri. "Well, we're trying hard not to. We really are. ? We're doing everything we can to try to maintain that safety net."
With the national economy now heading into a recession, Rhode Island's governor said he fears that bigger budget cuts might follow.
"Right now state workers [are] bearing the brunt of this, immigrants bearing the brunt of this, poor people bearing the brunt of this," said Maureen Moakley, an associate professor of political science at the University of Rhode Island. "But in a year from now it's going to be much wider and there are a lot of people who are going to be furious. To use the cliche, it's going to get worse before it gets better."

The second quarter was filled with drama for Facebook and CEO Mark Zuckerberg.
NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- Facebook's first earnings report as a public company will be on July 26, a major milestone that could show how tough life can be as a grown-up company.
The quarter was filled with drama for Facebook. In May, Facebook went through a botched initial public offering. The stock slumped and there have been shareholder lawsuits over alleged improper financial disclosures.
Facebook (FB) shares plunged almost 23% in May, and managed to creep back up only slightly in June. The stock is still down nearly 19% from its May 18 offering price of $38, trading at just above $31.
Beating Wall Street estimates for the second quarter could help Facebook get its stock out of the basement. Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters currently expect Facebook to earn 12 cents per share on sales of $1.15 billion.
Several underwriters launched coverage of the stock last week. While the reviews were largely favorable, there are sill many concerns about the stock's valuation and Facebook's ability to make money off of mobile advertising.
A note was posted to Facebook's investor relations page Friday with little fanfare, saying the second-quarter figures will be released July 26, with a conference call at 2 p.m. Pacific Time. Facebook didn't respond to a request for confirmation. It is not yet known if Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg will take part in the conference call.
Whether or not Facebook beats analysts' projections, the company has to be happy to close the book on the second quarter.
Facebook's troubles began even before its first moment as a public company. The stock's debut on the Nasdaq was delayed by a half-hour due to technical problems on the exchange, which continued even when the shares began trading -- leaving many buyers in the dark about what they had bought and at what price they scored shares.
Nasdaq later issued a mea culpa, and agreed to spend $40 million to compensate trading firms for losses related to the glitch.
A few days after the IPO, a group of Facebook shareholders filed a lawsuit against Facebook, Zuckerberg, IPO underwriter Morgan Stanley (MS, Fortune 500) and other banks. The shareholders allege that important information about Facebook's financial outlook was "selectively disclosed" to big banks ahead of the offering.
The information involved specifics about Facebook's mobile revenue problems, which the company did disclose -- in less specific ways -- in a publicly available amendment to its IPO paperwork.
Facebook later admitted in a court filing to having "follow-up conversations" with analysts from the banks underwriting its offering. Those analysts, according to the plaintiffs, then "discussed their forward-looking forecasts with certain institutional investors."
But nothing illegal happened, according to Facebook. Similarly, Morgan Stanley has insisted that it followed "the same procedures for the Facebook offering that it follows for all IPOs."

The term "naturopathy" was coined in 1892 to describe a rapidly growing system of natural therapeutics that drew from Hippocrates and the traditional and indigenous medicines of the world. Today's naturopathic doctors blend modern, science-based diagnostic and therapeutic procedures with ancient and traditional methods. Naturopathic physicians follow six fundamental principles of naturopathic medicine:
Wellness follows the establishment and maintenance of optimum health and balance. Wellness is a state of being healthy, characterized by positive emotion, thought and action. Wellness is inherent in everyone, no matter what diseases are being experienced. If wellness is really recognized and experienced by an individual, it will more quickly heal a given disease than direct treatment of the disease alone. (This principle was adopted by Bastyr University and added to the six principles.)
All states and provinces with laws regulating the practice of naturopathic medicine require a resident course of at least four years and 4,100 hours of doctoral-level study from a college or university recognized by the Council on Naturopathic Medical Education (CNME). To qualify for a license, the applicant must satisfactorily pass the Naturopathic Physicians Licensing Examinations (NPLEX), which includes basic sciences, diagnostic and therapeutic subjects and clinical sciences.
Applicants must satisfy all licensing requirements for the state or province to which they have applied. Please consult the American Association of Naturopathic Physicians (AANP) website for current U.S. licensure information.
Naturopathic doctors are licensed or registered as health care providers in Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, District of Columbia, Hawaii, Idaho, Kansas, Maine, Maryland, Minnesota, Montana, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Oregon, Utah, Vermont, Washington and the U.S. territories of Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. Legal provisions allow the practice of naturopathic medicine in several other states. Naturopathic doctors are also recognized in British Columbia, Manitoba, Ontario, Nova Scotia and Saskatchewan. Efforts to gain licensure elsewhere are currently underway.
Additionally, professional associations exist in 42 states and 11 provinces.
For more information about naturopathy, including its history, see the What is Naturopathic Medicine section of the Bastyr University website.

Boxer Rubin 'Hurricane' Carter dead at 76
Carter spent 19 years in prison after wrongful murder conviction
Rubin "Hurricane" Carter, the boxer whose wrongful murder conviction became an international symbol of racial injustice, has died at 76.
A longtime friend and caregiver, John Artis, says Carter died in his sleep today. Carter had been stricken with prostate cancer in Toronto, the New Jersey native's adopted home.
Carter spent 19 years in prison for three murders at a tavern in Paterson, N.J., in 1966. He was convicted alongside Artis in 1967 and again in a new trial in 1976.
Carter was freed in 1985 when his convictions were set aside after years of appeals and public advocacy. His ordeal and the alleged racial motivations behind it were publicized in Bob Dylan's 1975 song "Hurricane," several books and a 1999 film starring Denzel Washington as the boxer turned prisoner.

Magnetic Speed Controller MSC 50
Perfectly suited for use in gravity conveyors, in end points at sorters and spiral conveyors.
The purely mechanical solution renders a cabling or control redundant.
The contact-free eddy current brake operates maintenance and wear-free. It features the same high service life like a standard conveyor roller.
The gearless construction enables a softer startup which is already suitable for materials starting at 500 grams.
Materials up to 35 kg can be decelerated. The tube diameter of 51 mm provides the necessary higher surface to rollers with a 50-mm tube diameter given the same fastening height and allows optimal braking.
The fastening holes of the conveyor rollers can be used so that no fastening holders with additional profile holes have to be used. The direction-independent function rules out assembly errors.
No emissions to the outside are being generated, such as magnetism, which allows conveying even sensitive materials, such as electronic components.
The design with PU sleeve also decelerates critical materials in a reliable way.
