Bags buoyant, liquid runs downhill
It's generally accepted that the global financial crisis is on the wane; However governments and financial houses are still warning 'caution.' Luxury goods manufacturer Louis Vuitton Moet Hennessy (LVMH) held their AGM on 15th April. Turnover for the financial year 2009 (which is also the calendar year) was €17,053 with a profit of €3,352 million.
LVMH also includes several Australian/NZ wine brands including Domain Chandon (Yarra Valley), Cape Mentelle (Margret River) and Marlborough based Cloudy Bay. Wine and spirits were dragging the profitability chain in 2009 How ironic it is, then, that in troubled times one of the most expensive global brands (Louis Vuitton) continues to grow yet wines and spirits struggled.
As the dust settles
Pre the UK election the three main combatants put out manifestos alcohol fetched in all of them. As in Australia health issues are to the fore now a coalition government has been formed between the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats what might be expected? The Conservatives appear in favour of strong arm tactics including allowing councils and the police to shut down permanently any shop or bar found persistently selling alcohol to children. They would also double the maximum fine, for under-age alcohol sales, to £20,000. The Liberal Democrats would use taxation as a means of tackling binge drinking. Being middle of the road they soften the blow with, 'without unfairly penalising responsible drinkers, pubs and important local industries.'
The good news for wine producers is both parties agree on a ban on off-licences and supermarkets selling alcohol below cost price.
Whichever way the cake is cut, it looks as if both parties consider alcohol a danger to health, youth and civil disturbance. In order to deal with this issue, the general consensus is that money needs to be spent and that can only come from taxation. It looks as if the UK will become a tougher market to deal with in years to come.
More volume less money
In the year ended March 2010, Australian wine export volumes increased by 7 percent (773 million litres), worth $2.2 billion. Increased volume sounds good but a year ago the value of 723 million litres exported was $2.44 billion and in 2008 737 million litres of exported wine brought in $2.85 billion. Exporting in bulk partly explains the decline in value but there is still a loss to the economy box/bottle manufactures and transport companies as examples.
What goes where?
Around 85 percent of bulk wine goes to just five countries: UK, USA, Germany, China and Canada. The question is, are bulk wine shipments profitable? The year to end of March recorded 302 million litres shipped worth $298 million – averaging out at 99 cents a litre. Breaking it down: bulk red averaged $1.10 litre (down 14.7 percent on last year); and bulk white averaged 85 cents litre (down 19.6 percent on last year).
The pain continues
The 2010 Riverland vintage is in and estimated at 280,000 tonnes along with the drop in quantity. Prices are said to be the lowest in recent years with an average figure of $265 a tonne being quoted, which must be well below cost of production even for the most efficient vineyards. Further along the river in the Murray Valley region is the same story; crop and prices are way down.
Good but not good enough
The International Organisation of Vine and Wine latest report ('Note on the World Situation) is based on provisional figures for the 2009 vintages in both southern and northern hemispheres. Looking as if the world is going in the right direction is the statistic that the global vineyard has reduced by 7.63 million hectares. However, the problem remains that wine production continues to exceed consumption with world wine consumption estimated at 236.6 million hectolitres (hl), but world production still ahead at 265 million hl.
Experts recycle the old
Rabobank, has put out its April edition of 'Wine Quarterly Report' Although it has a long look at the Australian wine industry it doesn't (in my opinion) come up with anything that is original or, indeed, helpful. The Sydney Morning Herald ran an article (21st April) that portrayed Rabobank as an all-knowing, concerned benefactor, despite the fact that everything that Rabobank had been quoted as saying has been in general circulation for at least two years. The report goes on about France being successful in the past because it has fewer major regions to focus on. The author seems to miss the major point that France is not doing so well today.
Furthermore, the Rabobank report doesn't question the fact that along with an oversupply of grapes there is an over-production of wine; and that as a consequence it is likely that in time one or two large players might have to exit the industry. The report doesn't tackle the effect of what is already in oversupply and how this might affect the next three to five years, nor does it bring into play possible changes in taxation on the domestic market.
A report that reiterates what is common knowledge – with a few graphs thrown in to make it look pretty – is really no report at all.

A standard call for proposals may not be delivering the most cutting-edge topics. Find out how one conference makes sure it caters to the real needs of its attendees.
As plenty of show organizers struggle to maintain existing attendance numbers, one show continues to attract more traffic each year. Find out how.
You need more attendees on the show floor. Here's how to attract them.
As more attendees carry their smartphones and tablets with them everywhere they go, meeting planners have faced a challenging task: increase engagement while overcoming an increased number of distractions. At Convening Leaders 2013, the PCMA Meetings Team embraced the potential of all those bright screens.
"Our Education Team had session development calls with speakers, and many of them indicated that they wanted to do some audience polling," Ann Johnson, associate director, programs, PCMA, says. "It was clear that more and more people are interested in this engagement tactic, so we partnered with Freeman to find the right solution."
That solution was Poll Everywhere, a web-based technology with pricing that allows meeting planners to collect 2,500 responses per poll for just $375 per month. Attendees can submit their answers via text messages, web pages or Twitter.
Every meeting planner can agree that any new technology brings a certain degree of uncertainty.
"There were a few nerve-racking moments," Johnson says. "When we first used the technology in the opening session with Morten Hansen, there was a bit of a delay before the poll began to populate."
SEE ALSO: Convening Leaders, Defining Innovation
For planners using the technology, Johnson says it's important to help speakers understand the potential for a slight delay.
"When there is a large group of people responding at once, it's a bandwidth issue," Johnson says.
"You don't want your speaker to panic," Johnson adds. "Take a deep breath, and be patient. Be sure to have a couple of comments to use as filler as you wait for responses to begin rolling in."
Morten Hansen's speech collected the highest number of responses, but PCMA used Poll Everywhere in 15 more sessions, too.
"A general session setting is perfect for Poll Everywhere, but the technology can be just as powerful in small group settings," Johnson says. "You can offer everyone a chance to weigh in even if they don't want to raise their hands and ask questions."
Poll Everywhere's social Q & A function gave Convening Leaders attendees the ability to do much more than simply respond. In four of the sessions, attendees could also submit text questions to moderators.
While the PCMA Meetings Team was focused on enhancing the on-site experience at Convening Leaders, Johnson says that giving virtual attendees a chance to feel part of the action was an important factor in selecting the right polling technology.
"You can arrange audience response systems on a closed network in your building, but we specifically wanted to include our attendees logged in around the world," Johnson says. "Because Poll Everywhere is web-based, we could give everyone with a connection a chance to be part of the action."

Several residents in Luther said they are outraged a white city councilor used a racial slur to describe three black city leaders.
Gregg Atkinson admitted to using the "N" word to describe the mayor, police chief and another city employee, but he refused to resign at a meeting Tuesday night.
Atkinson was elected to the Luther Board of Trustees in April for a four-year term, but the NAACP wants him out of office now.
"There are blacks, whites, Native Americans, Asians all within our community of Luther and he cannot serve with that type of ideals," said Ronald Henry, President of the Luther chapter of the NAACP.
Henry voted for Atkinson and was one of several people at Tuesday night's town meeting, calling for Atkinson's resignation after Atkinson apologized. Atkinson dropped the racial slurs at the town cafe and told News 9 on Wednesday he regretted it.
"It happened in a moment of frustration," Atkinson explained.
Atkinson said he is now considering the possibility of resigning, but was not going to do it at the town hall meeting.
"I did what I thought was right by getting up at the board meeting last night on my own and apologizing, and at this point, I'm just wanting to move forward," Atkinson explained, adding that he wants a second chance.
"For the magnitude of what he said, no that's not enough," Henry said.
The Luther NAACP says it's considering a lawsuit. Mayor Cecilia Taft and Police Chief Marcus Thurman spoke with News 9 off camera and both said Atkinson's words were "unethical and uncalled for from a board member."
News 9 was not able to reach the other employee Atkinson referenced, John Wilson.

4l80e length
I have a 91 gmc vandura with a 454 and blown 4l80e and cant locate a used tranny for my 146" wheelbase and I am wondering if anybody knows what the difference is in the transmission from the 125 inch wheelbase to the 146 inch wheelbase and if it is something I can easily change from my old transmission to make the more readily available 125" work
02-06-2013, 11:51 AM #2The only difference should be the length of the driveshaft. I dont believe there is any difference in the transmission.

Food/beverage: Need for infrastructure impacts process automation
Dedham, MA —Many food companies recognize they need an improved global automation infrastructure even in the most automated facilities, a recent study by ARC Advisory Group has learned. That move, it said, will require a paradigm shift in the design, selection, and deployment of process automation systems, from automation software to plant floor control hardware to the use of more international automation standards and best practices.
Initial emphasis of food and beverages manufacturers, said the report, has been on standardizing common, enterprise-wide financial systems. Many larger companies are specifying adherence to ANSI/ISA 95 (ISO/IEC 62246) for enterprise-to-control system integration, study results showed. In addition, the report said, these companies must consider ANSI/ISA-95 (ISO/IEC 62246) and ANSI/ISA-88 (ISO/IEC 61512) as factory-floor-level automation extends to support "a more highly automated and information-driven system requiring minimal manual data entry."
"Food manufacturing firms are able to use this new automation to meet the changing demands of a growing and increasingly diverse population and consumers' demands for pre-processed foods," said Asish Ghosh, author of the study, "Food and beverage industry automation worldwide outlook."
Food manufacturers continue to place safety as the top priority, the study reported. Many indicated they have well-documented food safety programs that include good manufacturing practices, good sanitation and pest control practices, HACCP (hazards analysis and critical control point) protocols, personnel qualification and awareness training, process validation, change management, and an effective product recall system.
However, the study found that food manufacturers need to strengthen food security programs, including increased plant security and anti-counterfeit packaging. The report pointed out that although most packaging line machinery is highly automated, most labeling and inspection operations remain manual, leading to allergen mislabeling and unreadable date and bar codes. An increasing number of these systems are being replaced with more automated equipment, the report added.

Two candidates have announced their intention to run for the Westside school board. Two seats will be up for election.
Omaha attorney David Woodke, who has served three six-�year terms and currently is board president, said Monday that he would seek a fourth term on the board.
Douglas Krenzer, an Omaha attorney making his first run for political office, said he also would make a bid for the board.
Westside selects candidates for school board through a caucus system, which is unique in Nebraska. No date has yet been set for the caucus, which typically takes place in January or February. Up to four candidates will advance to the May�13 statewide primary election, which will serve as the general election for the Westside board.
Woodke, 63, has been on the board since 1996. He has served with three superintendents, including Superintendent Blane McCann, who assumed the post in July 2012.
Woodke said he would represent the district's empty-nesters, who make up about 80 percent of the district's residents. Woodke is a Westside graduate. He and his wife, Marty, have four adult sons, all of whom graduated from Westside High School.
Woodke said McCann has energized the district and provided a fresh and well-thought-out directive of individual learning for students. "His mission has inspired me to use my experience and historical perspective to continue to work for the future of our district, " Woodke said in a statement.
Krenzer, 42, serves on the board of Together Inc., a local nonprofit organization that works to prevent homelessness in the metropolitan area. He also has served as a youth sports coach, Sunday school teacher, Scout leader and board member of Countryside Community Church.
Both he and his wife, Dr. Kari Krenzer, a pediatrician, are Westside High School graduates. They have four children in the Westside Community Schools.
Incumbent Tom Baker, whose seat is also up for election, could not be reached immediately for comment regarding his plans.

Dishing It Out
Dish at the River Inn Hotel
by David Garver
Published on November 20, 2003, 12:00am | Comments
Photos by Todd Franson
A wondrous thing happened last spring in Foggy Bottom at the River Inn. The Foggy Bottom Caf�, which had fallen to an embarrassing low point from its once masterful cooking, gave way to a new restaurant with a gorgeously redesigned d�cor. It was rechristened Dish.
To say that you'd hardly recognize the space is an understatement. Soft, warm tones and a brighter appearance have given the previously shopworn space a new vitality. Designed by the award-winning team of Adamstein and Demetriou, the cozy 50-seat space includes a fireplace for cold weather comfort, along with a diptych of a recumbent Weimaraner by the famed William Wegman, adding a touch of whimsy to this causal and friendly eatery.
After starting his Washington career running the White House mess under President Clinton, followed by stints at M&S Grill and 15 Ria, Chef Ron Reda comes well prepared to take the helm at Dish, for which he has concocted a brief and accomplished menu of American classics including meatloaf (wonderful), macaroni and cheese (unremarkable), fried chicken (terrific), and pork chops (divine).
Delivered in a portion large enough to share, an appetizer of spinach dip with roasted artichokes is delightful. Piled on top of fried spicy pita chips, the marriage of subtle flavors is perfect. It's not the lowfat/low calorie pick of the menu, but perhaps sharing it will alleviate the guilt.
And speaking of things fried, Dish's Blue Point oysters are fresh and crispy. They're rather heavily coated but somehow end up tasting lighter than you'd expect. A fine cucumber-dill sauce makes just the right contribution to this seafood starter.
There's nothing remarkable about an offering of the classic tomato and mozzarella aside from its stylish presentation. Perhaps it should only be served when perfectly ripened tomatoes are available, but by this standard, few restaurants would ever be able to offer it. A drizzle of balsamic graffiti and basil oil breathe a bit of life into the pale fruit.
Among the main dishes, a double-cut blackened pork chop distinguishes itself as the most tender and flavorful in recent memory. Reda brines the meat, bringing it to a level of tenderness rarely encountered. Saffron-vanilla poached pear added a perfect counterpoint to the rich, veal demi-glaced pork -- a welcome relief from the usual pork/apple tedium.
Pan-seared rockfish fillet severed atop an ultra-rich oyster mushroom risotto will have you raving about it to your friends. The delicately cooked fish, as fresh as you'll find anywhere, retains its firm flesh and moist texture. Obviously, the same care in preparation is given to the remarkable risotto, a labor-intensive dish that here is as creamy and rich as one could hope for, and greatly enhanced by the earthy mushrooms.
Rack of lamb has an outstanding flavor and tenderness, but the accompanying barbecue sauce adds little to the offering. Happily, the sauce is served to the side rather than actually on the lamb, making it easy to ignore. A square of accompanying skillet corn bread nicely flavored with peppers and horseradish is a more welcome presence. Salmon fillet, fresh and grilled to perfection, rises to stardom in Chef Reda's capable hands. This often-overworked staple of restaurant menus is given new currency here by not being buried beneath sauce or added flavors.
Dish's wine and dessert menus were both going through a transition during my visits, a process that has now been completed. A wide range of wines, though fairly pricey, enhances the dining experience and the enthusiastic and competent staff is well equipped to help you make a selection.
�The dessert menu needs further development. A blueberry cobbler with house-made white chocolate and blueberry ice cream is a bit too doughy and, unlike most desserts everywhere, would actually benefit from more sugar. "Bubba's Brownie" is served warm with more of that great house-made ice cream (this time vanilla) and chocolate ganach�. It's marvelous and doesn't pretend to be anything more than it is. It would be nice to have one truly inspired offering on the dessert menu, however.
There's a lot to like about Dish and even more to be thankful for that a restaurant of its quality came to the rescue of Foggy Bottom. There's every reason to believe it will be with us for a good long time.

I'm not sure what I exactly expected college to be like but I find it to be much harder than I originally anticipated. I'm taking more classes and more credits then many of my friends back home who went onto college. The course load for the classes can be overwhelming but when I plan my time accordingly I find that the material is easier to learn.
To find more tips for prospective students, what to do for fun and whether this school is great for a particular type of student read the 84 reviews for University of New Haven
Curious about something that isn't answered here? Feel free to ask University of New Haven a question
The university is a home away from home. It provides a diverse social atmosphere in a strict academic environment. The faculty is invested in their students success.
Read MoreThere is so much do on and off campus. The teachers, food, clubs/organizations, etc are wonderful. I highly recommend future students to apply here.
Read MoreThis school has great teachers, and they want to see you succeed, they are always there to help you. The safety on this school is great, we have our own police station on the campus, and they are actual police officers, so you will always feel safe. This school also has a lot of clubs, there is something for everyone, and if there is not a club that you can find, then you can make one yourself, all you need is one other person and a teacher to support the club.
Read Morelarge and fun. people are nice. we are a big family.
Read MoreAmazing students brilliant teachers and quaint campus. Perfect.
Read MoreUniversity of new haven is a great school for CJ majors I love how close nit the student body is to the professors I appreciate the coaches concern for my education
Read MoreThe University is small but extremely welcoming; it has very skilled professors as well. unfortunately there is never enough parking, and the campus police take advantage of that. The school is predominately commuters, yet they hand out tickets like candy.
Read MoreThe univeristy has a variety of classes in my field of study that are of great interest. There are multiple doctors that are professors for each field of study so you know your professors are legitamite. The school is set in a city, but the campus feels like home with beautiful landscapes and buildings that are easy to find.
Read MoreThis school has given me so many opportunities. I love my major, forensic science, I got a few jobs on campus, and I met some really nice people. Also, it was not as overwhelming as I thought it was going to be.
Read MoreEven though I'm still in my second semester, I like the school so far. Many kids complain about things like food and tuition but you're not going to get gourmet food and a super cheap tuition. It's a great school for those who want to become a forensic scientist mostly, but any major is welcome.

by Edwin Gould
I lay on my back beneath the trees at the edge of a swamp near Kuala Selangor, Malaysia. The milky odor of tens of thousands of durian flowers filled my nostrils. The growls and heavy wing beats of squabbling bats held me spellbound. Huge bats in silhouette flew from tree to tree like giant eagles in the night. As entranced as a 10-year-old wrapped in a TV thriller, I recorded every move I saw, every growl I heard, into my tape recorder.
A bat actually a flying fox I called "Alpha" swiveled on a branch as it faced an incoming late arrival that tried to land. Alpha opened its mouth, growled, and spread its full five-foot wingspan, frightening the intruder away. Like all other bats, distributed one to a tree, Alpha prepared to enjoy the sweet nectar of the durian flower.
It licked dense clusters of flowers for several minutes at a time and then crawled and climbed from branch to branch to other clusters. After several hours of feeding, Alpha rested, grooming the white pollen from its fur.
The bats and I had arrived about 7 p.m. At 20 minutes before midnight an explosion rocked the nearby kampong. I rose at least a foot off the ground. A Chinese hunter stood 15 feet behind me. His 12-gauge shotgun had shattered the din of droning insects and flapping bat wings.
Alpha dropped like a stone. I froze. But then, like a madman, I faced the jubilant hunter, screaming expletives that he fortunately could not understand. David, my Hindu guide, placed his hand on my shoulder. "He has a gun." I became quiet. The proud hunter and his son picked up the bat and spread its wings. He planned to use the dead animal for a medicinal tonic to treat asthma.
Then I realized I could turn this unfortunate event into an opportunity. Because Malays consider it a destroyer of durian flowers and fruits, which is a favorite food, this bat is one of Malaysia's few unprotected animals. If I examined the bat's stomach contents I could confirm whether the animal eats flower parts or simply licks nectar as I had observed.
I calmed down and through David asked the hunter if I could examine the bat's stomach.
"No," the hunter replied and suggested that I find my own bats in the market.
"I need that particular stomach," I explained. He really thought I was crazy now and began to pull away. "I'll give you two dollars. Just let me examine it. I won't touch the meat." He shook his head.
"Five dollars!" I cried.
"OK," he nodded.
I ran for my field kit and returned to the death scene. I carefully made an incision so as not to puncture the stomach. To my delight, the stomach was so distended with golden fluid that it looked like a clear plastic bag filled with colored water. No more than two or three tiny flower parts could be seen. Clearly these bats were feeding on the nectar and were not responsible for destroying the delicate flowers that were now falling like confetti from the trees.
I later published a paper in the Malay Nature Journal* on flying foxes and their feeding habits on durian flowers. Unfortunately, the flying foxes remain unprotected and are still shot for both food and medicine.
After I finished with the stomach I looked up. The bats had disappeared and most of the open flowers had fallen to the ground. Only the flashing fireflies remained.

Hi, i know i'm not the smartest one here and probably someone already asked this question but i didn't find it.
Does anybody has the information about a upcoming FW CS6?
I've seen on adobe tv videos about PS, Ilustrator, Dreamveawer CS6 but nothing about FW.
I want to spend some time on learning it and integrate it into my workflow but i don't want to learn a product
that will no longer be developed. Thanks.
---------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------
Edit: Nevermind, after a quick search on twitter i found some reassuring information that there will be a FW CS6.
Glad to know there will be Fireworks CS6.
As soon as Photoshop CS6 beta came out, features wise, I immediately thought Adobe would kill FW.
Hope to see something good... there were never been so much love from Adobe.
Too bad they are not investing in this amazing product.

The three toe-tapping and core-tightening adult class options run on a weekday schedule, allowing participants weekends off to work on their inner six-packs. Customers looking to shed pounds with hip moves can participate in Zumba classes, which combine elements of Latin dance, aerobics, and offshore fishing techniques, and those wishing to expand strength and flexibility can opt for yoga. Alternately, Latin American salsa classes provide a sensual quick-stepping workout perfect for catching the peripherally masked eye of sword-wielding marauders.
Kadanse is a Ballroom & Latin dance studio located north of Boston. We offer programs in Social Dancing, Dancesport, Zumba, Wedding Dance and more!
Kadanse is cadence...rhythm....flow. We believe that dance is more than simply steps. We encourage you to find your rhythm with us!
At Studio 13, Pilates isn't confined to the mat. Its stretching, core-strengthening moves enliven Reformer apparatuses, infuse yoga classes, and add an unexpected dimension to the ballet barre. In fact Pilates has seeped its way into the majority of the studio's more than 100 weekly classes. But that doesn't mean this fitness haven is single minded. Pilates-free fitness styles such as Zumba—where upbeat music fuels energetic dance—or spinning—where imagined lions fuel heated bicycle pedaling—also carve bodies into shape. P90X classes incorporate intense, varied workouts designed to work every area of the body, which is why they're a favorite among elite athletes and gymnasts. Seven styles of barre fitness classes incorporate the toning, sculpting techniques of ballet, sometimes with a blend of Pilates or TRX for good measure. Whatever the workout, students can rest assured that the class they attend will be taught by an instructor certified in that particular fitness style. Studio 13's spacious personal-training area, meanwhile, allows for more personalized workouts, as does the gym's arsenal of cardio and strength equipment.
You'll get five adult group lessons, which convene in the evenings several times a week (click here to see the Boston schedule and here to see the North schedule). Schedule a ballet, jazz, or tap class to pick up where you left off twinkling your childhood toes, or start learning ballroom dance; it's easier to stay motivated and appreciate classical dance techniques as an adult, when waning Cinderella-fascination is compensated for by the twin feet of patience and discipline.

RNIB Volunteer Phil
Phil has been volunteering with RNIB as a studio reader for several years. Here he tells us why he enjoys the varied and interesting work. "When I applied to volunteer for the RNIB in 2011, Studio Reading jumped off the page as an activity where I could really make a contribution. I have always loved reading, and like to think that I have a broad range of qualifications, experiences and interests which help me to interpret a wide variety of written material.
My role involves reading aloud all sorts of written material, including brochures, catalogues, newsletters, magazines, journals and reports. The material is extremely varied and can range from slimming magazines to complex financial reports. Essentially I am shut in a soundproof studio for about an hour and a half at each session, operating the recording equipment and software myself.
I enjoy working with the audio team in Peterborough, they are very welcoming and supportive. The material itself is often very interesting, but of course the best thing is the knowledge that the recording is going to make a real difference to the life of a blind or partially sighted person."

You don't pay for tutoring unless you find a good fit!
I am in the midst of my second year of doctoral work at the University of Washington, having transferred from the University of Oregon, where my research interests were in experimental and behavioral economics, interdisciplinary fields that draw on knowledge from both economics and psychology. Prior to enrolling at UO, I attended the University of Puget Sound (UPS) where I studied mathematics, computer science, and economics and graduated magna cum laude. Currently I am pursuing field work in econometrics and international macroeconomics.I have strong computer skills with programming background in JAVA and MATLAB. I have used STATA, Eviews, and MiniTab for statistical projects. I also have advanced training required to fluently use Office Spreadsheet, Writing, and Presentation programs. With my strong quantitative background, I can quickly learn and use new programming languages and software packages. I have worked in teams as part of the Mathematical Competition in Modeling (MCM) for three years as an undergraduate and in two of those years have been awarded the rank of Outstanding (2007) and Meritorious (2008). In the 2008 MCM, my team was also given the Ben Fusaro award for an exemplary exposition of our solution.I am experienced and comfortable in positions of leadership, responsibility, and education. I have worked for four years as a rowing coach for adults and high school athletes. I have worked for six years as a tutor in mathematics, computer science, and economics and three years as a teaching assistant in economics for undergraduate courses. Currently, I am training for the United States Rowing Team, having recently finished fifth place at the US Olympic Trials.I have developed skills that permit me to effectively communicate my ideas and intentions to others. During my time as an undergraduate, I was a member of the Otis Coolidge Chapman Honors Program, an academic program that places an emphasis on writing skills across the disciplines. I have two published papers and a number of works in progress with professors and professional colleagues at Puget Sound, U of Washington, and Russell Investment Group.Recently, I worked part-time as a rowing coach for Holy Names Academy, an all-girls Catholic school, where I helped young women develop their abilities as nationally competitive athletes.I work with students from a wide variety of backgrounds and abilities, from middle school pre-algebra to advanced undergraduate and MBA students of analysis, computer science, and statistics.I hope you are able to give my application serious consideration.Regards,Alex T.

I have tutored students in calculus for AP (both AB and BC) coursework as well as collegiate level calculus through multivariate. I have taken real analysis and graduate level topology as well as some work in differential and partial differential equations.
I have completed A-level coursework in statistical theory and probably through the first year graduate level. In addition to typical probability and statistics courses, this includes econometric work on time series, stochastic modeling, Markov chain theory, and Bayesian statistics.I have worked with high school, undergraduate, and graduate students at various levels of skill.
As an undergraduate, I have studied 4 semester of computer science, receiving A-level grades. My coursework included Computer Science I and II, Optimization, and Math Modeling. I have worked for 1 summer as a research intern at Russell Investment Group where my duties involved extensive programming. My primary computer skills are in JAVA, MatLab, Mathematica, and Stata, with the ability to pick up new programming languages quickly.
While an undergraduate, I studied Abstract Algebra for 1 year and received an A in my coursework. I also studied computer science for two years and again received an A in my coursework. I have studied difference equations moth in my undergraduate mathematics work and graduate economics work. I have 2 published papers using applied discrete mathematics in the Journal of Undergraduate Mathematics and its Applications.
While an undergraduate, I studied Differential Equations for a semester and received and A. The next semester, I continued with Partial Differential Equations and received and A-. I have also studied Real Analysis (both univariate and multivariate) and received an A in the subject, giving me a theoretical grounding of the subject. While a graduate student, I studied Macroeconomics, which extensively uses advanced differential equations to model intertemporal choice problems. In these macroeconomics... Read More
My master's degree in economics gives me a background in statistics and decision theory. I have taken coursework in game theory, probability and statistics, risk, information economics, and computer simulation. I have used this background as a research assistance at the financial firm Russell Investment Group.
I have completed the first year econometric sequence for doctoral students at the University of Oregon. Subjects spanned probability and statistical theory, basic econometric models, and applications of those models to real world problems.
I have completed linear algebra at the undergraduate level with an A- and two semesters of undergraduate abstract algebra, covering vector spaces, groups, rings, fields, and some algebraic topology. I'm confident that I can tutor students in linear algebra.
I have had six, proof-based math courses, including a geometry course that served as an introduction to logic as part of its content. I have also had two semesters of computer science, so I am able to teach and work on proofs and logic.

Random Thoughts: Navigating Turnaround Tuesday
Stair-stepping our way toward some serious tryptophan.
Editor's Note: Todd posts his vibes in real time each day on our Buzz & Banter.
The bulls enjoyed a run in the sun yesterday—hey, a broken clock is right twice a day—and the question on everyone's lips is: Was that a one-day wonder or the beginning of something entirely bigger—perhaps even the start of the fabled Santa Claus Rally?
The honest answer is: I don't know. (Think Mr. Hand and Jeff Spicoli.)
What I do know is listed below, in no particular order:
- Tapes that are strong all day (with 2:1 positive breadth or better) tend to end that way, and that proved true anew.
- S&P (INDEXSP:.INX) 1380 is a zone of resistance (the 200-day moving average) while S&P 1400 is the zone of resistance (per the chart below).
- The strongest rallies occur in the context of a bear market (just as the sharpest pullbacks occur in the context of a bull market).
- Some of yesterday's price action was an expiration hangover (unwinding the gravitational pulls associated with options expiration).
- Most major market averages and sub-sectors are still mired in a pattern of lower highs and lower lows (which is a sign of distribution).
What do I sense will happen next for the stock market? Perhaps an upside probe of the aforementioned S&P 1400 level—but as it stands, that's a zone I may look to fade (read: short). While the bulls want to break out to the upside (so investors can get their kids the GI Joe with the Kung-Fu Grip), we can't get excited until the series of lower highs (a bearish sign of distribution) is breached. Interestingly, that could also be achieved with a push higher through S&P 1400.
In terms of the tech (NDX (INDEXNASDAQ:NDX)) and the financials (BKX (INDEXDJX:BKX)), we're seeing the same patterns of lower highs, and I've included those charts as well. On the downside, S&P 1350 and BKX 47 remain levels that the bulls will lean against (as near-term support), particularly as they've been rewarded for defending that zone in a big way already.
Volumes will get thinner into Thanksgiving—I should be so lucky—so factor that into your risk profile as we together find our way. And think positive, my brethren; profitability begins within.
Random Thoughts
I wrote last week that the new Research In Motion (NASDAQ:RIMM) BB10 operating system was awesome and followed that with a vibe that the stock would trade to double-digits. It traded at double-digits this morning, so you see it, albeit without me.
Folks were scratching their head about how Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) could rally 12%—$56 billion in market capitalization, rough justice—from Friday's low to yesterday's high. It can be summed up in a single word: expiration.
Why are the banks so very important as trading tells? They encapsulate the interconnected finance-based global economy, including the current happenings—or should I say expectations of future happenings—in Europe. Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS) and JPMorgan (NYSE:JPM) are my stateside proxies, while Deutsche Bank (NYSE:DB) and Barclays (NYSE:BCS) are my guides from across the pond.
Hewlett-Packard (NYSE:HPQ) took an $8.8 billion charge—yes, with a "B"—after it said the software company it agreed to buy last year falsified its finances. It's just that easy, eh? And if a publicly traded company can simply take a charge and write off a bad decision, what prevents the USA from doing the same to write off its bad eggs?
I promise I'll stop talking about Festivus—in 17 days, when it arrives! From now until then, I will do something I rarely do—give advice! If there is any way you can make this event, or support this cause, you should certainly do so. Three rocking tribute bands (U2, Journey, The Police), all-you-can-eat BBQ, top-shelf liquor and the Minyanville community (and our professors) cutting the rug in size. The best part? 100% of the net proceeds will benefit educational efforts for children impacted but Hurricane Sandy. Visit The Ruby Peck Foundation for Children's Education to snag your tickets, or ping me directly if your firm would like to sponsor; and thank you, as a little bit of love goes an awfully long way!
- May peace be with you.

They designed a model based on weather and flu data from past years, 2003-09. In part, their design was based on earlier studies that found flu virus spreads better when the air is dry and turns colder. They made calculations based on humidity readings and on Google Flu Trends, which tracks how many people are searching each day for information on flu-related topics (often because they're beginning to feel ill).
Using that model, they hope to try real-time predictions as early as next year, said Jeffrey Shaman of Columbia University, who led the work.
''It's certainly exciting,'' said Lyn Finelli, the CDC's flu surveillance chief. She said the CDC supports Shaman's work, but agency officials are eager to see follow-up studies showing the model can predict flu trends in places different from New York, like Miami.
Despite the optimism by some, Dr. Edward Ryan, a Harvard University professor of immunology and infectious diseases, is cautious about weather-based prediction models. ''I'm not sure any of them are ready for prime time,'' he said.

Nintendo has and will probably ALWAYS be behind the curve in getting things right. Yea they innovate here and there, but they still just can NEVER seem to close the deal with pleasing hardcore fans. And this 2nd nub issue is just another example. It seems like a small issue, but it really isn't because can you imagine what playing 3D games would be like on consoles if we just stuck with the old N64 design? that being just having one analong stick? PlayStation and Microsoft understood this. Even in PS's new Vita, they put it on their newest handheld. The smart thing to do would be to go ahead and put the new nub on the XL. It's shitty enough releasing a new handheld every few years anyway.
Nintendo lives in their own world. They don't give a flying shit about real gaming, it's all about gimmicks and toy-like features. Everybodys had enough of it.
That's a load of crap. People can't really prodict if Nintendo will continue to same progression with their handhelds like they did with the DS. We can't gurantee a "Lite" version. And people have every damn right to be angry and bring drama with the lack of the 2nd nub.
I personally don't know if I'd ever buy a Nintendo product again.Last edited by Versus; 06-25-2012 at 04:41.

The Lite came before the XL, so I dunno they might give the next one a new name, either way I'm waiting on it, just like I'm doing for Vita, as of now there's nothing on either console making me want either, which is fine, the longer I wait the lower the price gets and hopefully the games' catalogue grows.

My guess is the Circle Pad Pro hasn't sold to well, and there's not many games coming up to take advantage of it because of that, so that may be a reason for it. But I'm perfectly fine with my 3DS now, so I won't be upgrading.
Thanks to THUGGEDOUT for the sig, The Black Wolf for the av.Life's too short to be sober! Drunk with power!

Please see our submission rules and terms of use before submitting a comment.
Have you Googled yourself today? Have you Googled your company? What are others saying about you on the web? What does the BBB say about you?
It is a new world, and I'm not just talking about the economy. Marketing used to be all about what you say about your business to consumers. More and more, it is about how to engage people to talk about you. We used to call it word of mouth, now we use this fancy terminology "social networking." Let's face it, the technology is new, the strategy is the same. The more people that talk about you, the more awareness your company has, the more business you are likely to receive. So, let's get them talking. OK, replace talking with texting or typing or blogging or whatever the heck it is I'm doing right now. You found me, you are reading this, so you know how it works. Let's just take a minute and make it work for you.
At our recent membership marketing breakfast, the President of Best Rank, Inc. gave us some excellent tips on how to improve our search engine optimization or, simply put, how to help people find you and get them talking about you. One easy idea: Google Maps. If you haven't claimed your company on Google Maps and ensured the information is accurate, do it now. It is a VERY popular way for people to find companies via search engines or applications. Think of it like the phone book or yellow pages. They are giving you a free listing so users can find you, all you have to do is click in and verify.
Does this sound intimidating? Well, you're not alone there, either. Remember how we used to set the clock on the VCR for our parents? Well, now the IT director in a significant percentage of homes is a tween, 12-17 year old. And in a significant number of those homes, the tween has put parental controls on their parent. Yep, that's embarrassing. But what happens if we turn that equation around. What happens if we leverage 12-year-old Johnny smarty pants to help us claim our spot on Google maps? What if Johnny actually has some good ideas about how to get people talking about us on Facebook? What if people are actually following Johnny on Twitter and he talks about YOU?
We would love for you to comment on posts to the BBB San Diego President's Blog.
But please, let's keep it clean. Comments that include profanity or personal attacks or other inappropriate comments will be removed. Additionally, entries that are unsigned or contain "signatures" by someone other than the actual author will be removed. Finally, we will take steps to block users who violate the guidelines, terms of use or privacy policy governing this site.
