International Attendees
The ACFE Global Fraud Conference is the world's largest gathering of fraud fighters, with more than 2,400 attendees representing more than 60 countries. For attendees traveling from outside of the United States, the following information may be helpful in planning your visit.
Visa Information: You may need a visa to enter the United States. Because of world events, visa applications are subject to a greater degree of scrutiny than in the past. The greater scrutiny means a longer waiting period — the State Department recommends that you begin your visa application process well in advance of your travel dates. Visa requirements vary from country to country. Contact the U.S. embassy or consulate in the country where you live to determine if you will need a visa and/or a visa support letter to visit the United States. (You may apply for a visa at any U.S. consular office, but it may be more difficult to qualify if you apply from outside your country of permanent residence.) Locate a consular office.
The decision to grant visas belongs solely to the embassy/consulate. The ACFE cannot promise that you or your colleagues will receive a visa. Likewise, the ACFE cannot change the decision of the governmental agency should your application be denied. For more information on applying for a visa, visit the U.S. State Department website.
If you are denied a visa or you do not receive your visa in time to attend, your registration fees will be refunded provided that you notify us prior to the cancellation period as defined in the cancellation policy.
Letter of Invitation: Some countries require a letter of invitation to be submitted as part of the visa application process. The ACFE will only issue letters for persons who have registered and paid for the event or conference. The ACFE can send the invitation letter by the following options:
If you need an invitation letter, email the ACFE's Events Department at email@example.com with your request. Because of the number of requests received for visa support letters, please submit your request as soon as possible.

"Never separate the life you live from the words you speak" - a saying that has carried third-year College of Law student Jacquelynn Jordan along the eastern seaboard to pursue her educational aspirations. Through her many accomplishments, Jordan makes a note to practice what she has preached.
Jordan's journey to FAMU to pursue a law degree was met with stops at the University of North Carolina-Charlotte to earn her B.A. degree, and Clemson University in South Carolina for her M.A. degree, before continuing to the famed HBCU in Florida.
A Brooklyn native, Jordan attended a law school expo in New York and was convinced by the FAMU College of Law admissions representative to visit the campus. "When I came to the school she remembered my name," recalled Jordan. "I thought if everyone is like her this must be an awesome place."
Fueled by encouragement from her family, and resonant words of her maternal grandmother, Jordan followed a childhood dream to become a lawyer. "She always emphasized education," Jordan said of her grandmother. "She literally taught me to dot my "i"s and cross my "t"s, and encouraged me to do my best - and while it's important to have book smarts, it's even more important to have common sense."
The common sense side of Jordan kept her grounded to her community. Prior to attending FAMU College of Law, she volunteered with the Boys and Girls Club as an after school tutor, and the Children's Healthcare of Atlanta Pediatric Hospital. Her volunteer efforts continued as a law student with the Black Law Students Association and Student Bar Association for the Clean-Up Parramore initiative and the MLK March. Personal volunteer efforts included service with the Children's Home Society, New Beginnings Church of God, and the Greatest Investment Girls' Summer Camp. "Community service is important because it gives students balance, provides perspective and encourages students to see beyond themselves," Jordan said.
Still, the book smarts of this achiever would not be outdone. Jordan is a recipient of the 2011 Central Florida Chapter of the National Black MBA Association Graduate Scholarship. Part of the National Black MBA Association, the non-profit organization represents more than 150-plus members across the I-4 corridor, and is dedicated to creating partnerships that result in intellectual and economic wealth in the black community. She has also been a recurring recipient of the Dean's Merit Scholarship for her academic achievement.
"Balance is tough," Jordan admitted. "It's hard to maintain a high level of intensity for three years. You get tired - I focus on my health and run to de-stress from school." The de-stressing method led to a side-hobby for Jordan. An avid runner since her undergraduate years, the former financial industry professional started running road races in order to stay healthy while enduring the rigors of law school. Having completed several, she is currently training for a marathon.
Her training can pay off not only in her health, but the accomplishment can equip her with the perseverance it may take for her career in law, and what it could do for others. "I am looking forward to the doors this degree will open," Jordan said. "I don't want to follow a traditional path, but I want to know that I am able to help others through my work."
Jordan is a student member of the First Central Florida Inn of Court, the American Bar Association, National Bar Association, and serves as Attorney General for the Student Bar Association. She would like to concentrate in Public Interest Law, or work in legislation and politics. "There aren't enough lawyers writing policy. I think we could have better laws and make meaningful change," Jordan said. "Our system of law is not perfect, but I don't know of any one better in the world or one that allows for individuals to get involved on all levels. We all have a duty to get informed and get involved."
Jordan's sentiment is one that she hopes can continue with prospective students who decide to study law, or 1Ls and 2Ls already in the trenches. "This is a unique time and opportunity so make the most of it," Jordan said. "Whether it is electives you will take, internships you'll do, people you will meet or places you will go, enjoy the process. Don't place limits on yourself or allow others to do that; and don't wait until after the bar to appreciate the journey."
What are you most proud of? Why?
What one word would you use to best describe yourself? What word would your friends use?
How do you feel about the city of Orlando and location of the College of Law?
Looking back on your early education, which teacher had a memorable impact on you and why?
What do you feel has been the greatest invention in the last 150 years? Why?

The American Lung Association's annual "State of the Air" report doesn't necessarily make Northeast Ohioans breathe easy. The Cleveland-Akron-Canton region ranked among the worst 25 areas in the nation for smog and particle pollution. Even after decades of improvement in air quality due to regulation, some say stricter standards are needed to protect health.

The world's tiniest chefs -- micro-organisms that enhance flavors and preserve foods by converting starch and sugars into other products-- can whip up some tasty pickles, a block of cheese, even a nice glass of wine or a pint of beer to wash it down. The process is known as fermentation and it is a growing culinary trend. On today's show, we examine what's been called "the flavorful space between fresh and rotten" -- fermentation.

Doctors are great, and prescriptions and surgery have saved many a life. But some people believe a steady diet of herbal supplements and holistic healing can also be effective, or at least complementary, to Western medicine. The Cleveland Clinic recently opened an herbal clinic in its Center for Integrative Medicine. Supporters say it's long overdue that hospitals embrace alternative medicine. Critics, on the other hand, say hospitals are a place of science, not unproven traditions.

Talked with him yesterday...Nancy is forcing him to get some "house things" done along with trouble with
the Hagie----O-rings....I'll let him explain all, he is trying to get ready for family/company and I know from
experience, Nancy is the slave driver there...too.
The storms missed him. But he is in his underground bunker. The A-10's and Blackhawks are flying over him constantly. I think the gubermint has figured out his ties to certain posters on Agweb..... like 48 and Verby.
Thanks 4450 for asking ! all the storms SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO far has just missed us , don't think I have seen this many big hail events here --- ever , you would think I lived in Kansas ! Maybe around Hill City or to the east some !
then I have been trying to finish the dog house out --( My office and play room ) got it all painted , then had to pick out new carpet , it was not to good of shape and Ali didn't help it out any 4 and a 1/2 years ago when she was a puppy , seems that I left her along and went in the main house to get some thing , wife said Ken --you didn't leave that pup alone in the garage didyou ??? Well yes i did i told her ! she is a well trained dog ! I trained myself !!!!!! Then I got this oh F kind on feeling and ran out here to check on her, Oh sh1t to bed Ken i said , Ali had found the seam in the carpet and was have'n a hey day !! i never seen so much yawn in my life ! and she was just rolling around fighting it ! you know I thought that i would be liveing with Ali after that but all the wife said when she came out was , well trained dog huh and then laughed her azz off to !
But anyway what was i going go with this story ?????????????????? oh I know , they bought the new carpet Wed. morning , And it looks like sh1t ! he11s bells Ali could have put in a better seam ! Call the owner , told he he needs to get his azz down here and look at this , Any guesses what he said ???? if you guessed , well i have never seen that one happen before , you guesssed right ! that fker , he must have forgot that I a farmer and here that song and dance all the time !

Then the beer frig. took a dump and got a new one of them too ! guess what ! the door was fked up on it too !!!! I told the boys look and this sh1t ! they said oh ya we saw that when we took it out of the box ! by now all i can do is shake my head , what dumb fks ! no wonder all that can do is haul stuff around all day , then off to call the owner ! oh no I will pull a Dennis and go have a face to face ! Drove down to Shelbyville , went pretty good really , they know that we are pretty picky with stuff and said he would get a new door and put it on , i said no,no ,no , bring out another new one , don't be f-ing around pulling doors off !
He said OK Ken no problem , we'll get a new one in !
So just waiting for the nefews and there wifies to come in from the windy city !
Oh I forgot the Hag blew another o-ring out the other day , got it changed but may have found the problem , the computer was throwing a code , is seems that there was a valve goof up and putting to much pressure on the system sometimes , like 9,000 psi , and the system runs like 6,500 to 7,000 , will have to see if that fix's anything ! lol
Everybody have a great Easter ! The girls have been eating up a storm getting ready for ther 3rd annual Easter day dump in the park ! LMAO
Ken, you got a dog named Ali? Whats that short for? My Border Collie-German Shepard cross is named Ali, real name is Alegro, music talk for 'speed up'. She is quick. She goes everywhere with me in the pick-up. Don't have to take the keys out, anybody comes near the cab and I ain't there, she scares the **** out of them with full fangs flared at the window. Actually she is the sweetest animal there is, absolutely gentle with the grandkids, totally tolerant. Have a wonderful Easter with your family and guests. R7 Same to everybody on Agweb even Joe.

It would be good to amend that the 'model' posing in the skintight space suit is the designer/inventor MIT engineer Dava Newman, of whom this article is about.
Alan Shepard: First American in Space
Photograph courtesy NASA
U.S. astronaut Alan Shepard poses in his silver pressure suit in a 1963 picture from the early days of NASA's Mercury space program. Thursday marks the 50th anniversary of Shepard becoming the first American in space, when he completed a short suborbital voyage aboard the Freedom 7 spacecraft.
Less than a month before, Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin had become the first human in space with his successful orbital flight aboard the Vostok 1 spacecraft. (See "Yuri Gagarin: First Human Space Flight in Pictures.")
Over the decades, the U.S. space suit has evolved as astronauts' duties have become more complicated. The suit Shepard wore during his 16-minute flight was designed by aerospace manufacturer B.F. Goodrich. Called the Mark-IV, it was essentially a converted Navy-pilot suit, said Bill Ayrey, a space suit historian with ILC Dover in Delaware.
"Although it was referred to as a space suit by many at the time, it was actually a modified pressure suit," Ayrey said. "When they were looking for a space suit for Mercury, they were just looking for a suit that would hold pressure, in case they lost pressure aboard the capsule."
Later space suits, intended to withstand life outside the spacecraft, also kept astronauts well ventilated and at a comfortable temperature as well as safe from radiation and micrometeorite impacts.

Hard-Body Moonwalker?
Photograph by Mark Avino, Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum
This "hard suit" made by Litton Industries in the early 1960s was designed to protect Apollo astronauts during lunar extravehicular activities—aka moonwalks. But the suit was ultimately scrapped by NASA in favor of a softer design made by ILC Dover.
Dubbed the Block III, the Litton suit's main downside was that it was very bulky and could not be stored away under the seats on the trips between Earth and the moon, said ILC Dover's Ayrey. Adopting the hard suit, he said, "would have called for a much different vehicle than the Apollo Command Module, which had very limited space on board."
The hard suits did have one advantage over the soft suits: "When in use and pressurized, the hard suits did not compress as did the soft, fabric suits," Ayrey explained.
"So in terms of physics, the air did not compress while under pressure, thus resulting in less effort on the part of the astronaut when bending the various joints, such as [in] the arms and legs."

First "True" U.S. Space Suit?

Gemini 3 crew members Virgil "Gus" Grissom (left) and John Young pose in their G3C space suits in 1964. The boxes attached to the NASA suits are portable air conditioners, to keep the astronauts from overheating in their pressurized garments.
Developed by the David Clark Company, the G3C and its close cousin the G4C were designed with spacewalks and other extravehicular activities in mind, Ayrey said. "That's when you really start talking true space suits," he said.
The outer coverings of both David Clark suits consisted of multiple layers of nylon and a flame-resistant material called Nomex. Although the Gemini 3 crew didn't leave the orbiter, Gemini 4 astronaut Ed White performed the first U.S. spacewalk (picture) in 1965 while wearing the G4C space suit.

Wearing an A7L-model space suit—as did most of the NASA astronauts who walked on the moon—astronaut Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin pauses for a picture during his historic walk on the lunar surface during the Apollo 11 mission in 1969.
Later, when the Apollo 15 astronauts were tasked with exploring the moon in a lunar rover, NASA switched to a slightly more flexible version of the A7L called the A7LB, explained Ayrey of ILC Dover, which made the A7L space suits.
"The astronauts needed to sit in the lunar rover … ," Ayrey said, "and the A7L suit wasn't good at flexing at the waist."

Cool Insides

Underneath the familiar white cover of the A7LB space suit were intricate inner layers that protected astronauts from the harsh conditions of space.
In addition to multilayer insulating fabric, NASA's A7LB suit contained a liquid cooling system to prevent astronauts from overheating. Such a system was first adopted during the Apollo era, when it was discovered that simply circulating cool air through a suit was not sufficient, ILC Dover's Ayrey said.
"Our Apollo suit was the first time that you used a liquid cooling garment, or LCG, to pull body heat out [of the suit] and take the warm water into a backpack and chill it," he said.

Shuttle Suit

NASA astronaut Bruce McCandless floats against a backdrop of blue seas and white clouds in an April 1983 photograph taken during a flight of the space shuttle Challenger. Equipped with a handheld controller for a maneuvering thruster, McCandless made the first spacewalk without being tethered to a shuttle.
Overall, the shuttle missions required a complete rethink of the space suit, ILC Dover's Ayrey said. "All suits have to be a little different. ... You don't take a Volkswagen off-the-road racing," he said. "You have to have that special vehicle. It's the same with space suits."
The Apollo space suits were designed to work in low-gravity environments and, as a result, they had flexible torsos, ankles, and knees for full-body mobility. This was less of an issue for the space shuttle suits, which were designed for zero-g work that requires mobility in only the upper body, for the most part.
The shuttle suits were also the first to be built with a modular design philosophy, Ayrey said. "We build [different parts of the suit] and ship them out to Houston, where the suit can be assembled for a mission and then brought back and disassembled and reused over and over again."
(Also see "Five Myths of Challenger Shuttle Disaster Debunked.")

Space Suit of the Future?
Photograph courtesy Douglas Sonders; designed by Dava Newman/MIT and Guillermo Trotti/Trotti and Associates
As NASA contemplates a return to the moon and eventually a mission to Mars, engineers are rethinking the space suit once again. Above, a model poses in a skintight space suit designed to protect astronauts but be more flexible.
Designed by MIT engineer Dava Newman, the sleek "BioSuit" does away with traditional gas pressurization. Instead the suit relies on mechanical counterpressure, which involves wrapping tight layers of material around the body. The BioSuit is not yet ready for space travel, but Newman predicts a working prototype could be ready in about ten years. (See more BioSuit pictures.)
ILC Dover's Ayrey is skeptical, however. "Theoretically it would permit an astronaut to maintain the pressure they need in the vacuum of space," he said. "But it is impractical, as I see it, because there are too many other challenges—such as heat retention and rejection—along with other factors that need to be addressed due to the hostile environment of space.
"This would all contribute to added layers, thus reducing the benefits gained."

I use River Road a lot goingSubmitted by Guest123456 (not verified) on Thu, 09/11/2008 - 9:57pm.
I use River Road a lot going to Carolina Beach and there are always bikes. Some are in the bike lane, single file. At other times, they are decked out in their spandex three and four wide in the road like it's the Tour de France. The only difference is they close the roads to vehicular traffic and these wannabes compete with cars with an "I own the road" attitude. I have been behind some for miles doing 35 because I cannot pass and they are in the roadway. Doesn't some of the tax on the gas I put in my car, and my registration fee go towards roads and highways? Didn't I read about all the tax dollars the city spent on a bike path?

Running out of gas in the man stakes
PUBLISHED: 18 Oct 2012 00:07:14 | UPDATED: 18 Oct 2012 05:34:44PUBLISHED: 18 Oct 2012 PRINT EDITION: 18 Oct 2012Talking point
Chris Dyson
It doesn't matter if you're Glenn Stevens or Glenn McGrath, there are certain things you just can't get away with as an Australian man. Top of the list is running out of gas halfway through a barbecue.
Committing this antipodean anti-social clanger is embarrassing enough to give the hardiest of men cold sweats for days.
Invariably, it happens just as the guests are getting hungry. The barbecue is surrounded by male guests who have already critiqued your grill prep and meat rotation methods, and stand ready to notice the gas expire and immediately point out what a terrible, terrible thing has just happened.
By the time you go to the servo to refill (or pay the extra $7 and swap-and-go if you're one of the best paid central bankers in the Western world), get back and switch the gas cylinder, your sausages have morphed from sizzling things of beauty to congealing off-cuts. There's really no coming back from this one, but if a guest offers to get you a beer to soften the pain, make sure you accept. Because saying "no" to a beer is the second-worst thing an Australian man can do.
Beer companies have had to work hard to get mid-strength beer accepted and they seem to have given up advertising light beer altogether. A big part of mid-strength beer's appeal to Australian men is that it's not light beer. And, most importantly, you don't have to say no to a beer – you can have a few around the barbecue and still drive home legally. Don't think just because traditional beer sales are dropping you can spurn the offer of a beer and it won't be noticed.
Sure, more people might be choosing to knock back a boutique Little Creatures or a mid-strength instead of a New or a VB, but knocking back knocking one back? That's still frowned upon.
The third thing Australian men cannot do is say they are not interested in sport. You can favour one over another, that's fine, but you have to be able to say something like, "I'm more into AFL than league." Simply saying "I don't like sport" will douse a conversation faster than admitting you're an Alan Jones fan.
You might think this generalisation, like the two before it, sounds terribly out of touch, but I believe these things hold true on more levels of society, and in more settings, than many care to admit.
On a recent Sunday I narrowly avoided the ignominy of a triple whammy of transgressions. The first male guest to arrive at my home for a barbecue, Phil, immediately noticed I didn't have the TV on for the Bathurst 1000. I fixed this problem quickly and Phil offered to get me a beer. He then confided to my wife that he was disappointed to see the fridge stocked with mid-strength beer but joined me at the barbecue nonetheless, missing a few laps of the great race to check on the progress of the sausages.
And then it happened. The cooling of the hot plates. The realisation the gas was out. The clammy skin, and the words "How embarrassing" ringing in my ears as I ducked out to the car. Lucky I'd stuck to mid-strength.
Once the gas supply had been restored and lunch served and cleared away, I joined Phil to watch the last five laps from Bathurst. What a tussle between Jamie Whincup and David Reynolds. All was going well until Phil quietly and gravely intoned: "Could be trouble here – Whincup might need to go for a splash and dash."
I was out of my depth – I'm not a big motor sports fan and had no idea what a "splash and dash" could be. Nodding agreement to buy some time, I listened closely to the race commentators for a clue – low on fuel! So that was it, the race leader might need a quick pit stop in the final laps.
"How embarrassing would that be – to run out of petrol with a lap to go," I said.
"Yep," agreed Phil.
"Not as bad as your barbie running out of gas but pretty embarrassing, for sure."
In the end, though, Whincup held on for Holden and Phil could tell I didn't know my V8s, but I got him another beer (being a Ford man, he needed to drown his sorrows), told him I was more of an NRL fan (go the Tigers) and everything was all right. It's a jungle out there.

MIAMI (AP) — Forecasters say Tropical Storm Rafael is unleashing heavy rains over the Leeward Islands.
The storm was centered about 100 miles (165 kilometers) north-northwest of St. Martin at 8 a.m. EDT Sunday while gradually moving away from the Virgin Islands. Rafael had top sustained winds of 50 mph (85 kph) and was moving north-northwest at 12 mph (19 kph).
The U.S. National Hurricane Center said Rafael could become a hurricane by late Monday. Forecasters say interests in Bermuda should monitor Rafael's progress as a tropical storm or hurricane watch may be required for Bermuda later Sunday.
A tropical storm warning has been discontinued for Anguilla. Earlier Sunday, a tropical storm watch was discontinued for Puerto Rico.
Forecasters say Rafael also raised the threat of dangerous surf.

Cash cocktail for Melbourne's rail crossings: report
PUBLISHED: 11 Sep 2012 00:02:00 | UPDATED: 04 Nov 2012 14:15:54PUBLISHED: 11 Sep 2012 PRINT EDITION: 11 Sep 2012The Committee for Melbourne's Kate Roffey says removing rail crossings has benefits for both motorists and train passengers. Photo Luis Ascui
Mathew Dunckley
Melbourne's $30 billion rail crossing headache could be solved by using a funding cocktail of property levies, special rates, private sector concessions and tolls, under a bold proposal by the Committee for Melbourne.
The committee says that cash-strapped governments need to find extra revenue streams to finance a number of large infrastructure challenges such as Melbourne's more than 170 level crossings.
The report says that for level crossings, the options could include a levy on all properties close to a particular project in recognition of the rise in their land value, the sale of development rights around the project or a toll on the new overpass.
"Some funding options available may be unpopular to discuss or difficult to understand; nonetheless we do need to have these conversations," said the committee's chief executive, Kate Roffey.
"We need to start making some choices. We are just not as readily tuned in to paying for transport options."
Melbourne has more level crossing than any other Australian city and in peak times boom gates blocked some major arterial roads for up to 45 minutes in an hour.
Ms Roffey said removing level crossings would benefit both motorists and train passengers and noted some of the funding models put forward had been used in the past but were now not part of the conversation.
For example, Melbourne's City Loop rail tunnel was half-funded through a levy on public transport tickets, while Melbourne Council provided 25 per cent of funds through a levy on rates for those properties that would benefit in the inner city.
Clayton Utz project finance partner Brad Vann said it was crucial that the link was transparent between levies and the project they were supposed to fund.
"We are all sitting here trying to solve problems that have been addressed by countries all around the world," Mr Vann said.
Macquarie Group head of infrastructure, utilities and renewables Jim Miller said there was investment appetite for projects but there was a need to build the revenue streams that would underpin their development.
"The broader you look at it, the more levers that you get for the development of the funding stream," he said.
Mr Miller said Melbourne's level crossings were big enough projects to be offered to the private sector individually but bundling several together would be more efficient and would reap greater benefits for train travellers.
Premier Ted Baillieu told an infrastructure conference last week that Melbourne's level crossings represented "crippling bottlenecks".
He said grade separations at level crossings on main roads cost between $250 million to $300 million each to cover. Mr Baillieu used the speech to decry the increasing cost of construction but also stressed that "there is less money to spend".
The government has committed to removing 10 level crossings in its first term. A government spokeswoman did not reply by deadline.

Temple University
Personalized email advertisements are far more likely to repel customers than to endear them, according to a study led by a Temple University Fox School of Business professor.
But the research – which drew from 10 million marketing emails sent to 600,000 customers – also shows there is a way companies can use personal information without driving customers away: send them deals on products they want.
Using data from a firm's real-world transactions, Assistant Professor of Management Information Systems (MIS) Sunil Wattal found that consumers' responses to personalized greetings ranged from very negative to, at best, neutral. Overall, 95 percent of customers responded negatively when an email ad greeted them by name.
Customers who were unfamiliar with the firm were very likely to click off or unsubscribe from emails with personalized greetings. Customers who were more familiar with the firm were less likely to do so, but still responded more negatively than to emails without greetings. Customers who had made past purchases were unaffected.
Research into sales strategies suggests consumers generally react positively to being recognized by name. But Wattal suggests the variable introduced to online environments – fears of privacy invasion – heavily outweighs the intended personal touch.
"Given the high level of cyber security concerns about phishing, identity theft, and credit card fraud, many consumers would be wary of e-mails, particularly those with personal greetings," Wattal and his co-authors wrote in the study.
Wattal also found that product personalization, in which customers are directed to products that their past purchasing patterns suggest they will like, triggered positive responses in 98 percent of customers, with the positive effect being most pronounced among customers unfamiliar with the firm.
Since consumers may not have known these product-personalization emails used their personal information, researchers suggest that no red flags about privacy were raised, and thus consumers only experienced the positive aspect of these email advertisements: exposure to desirable products.
The study, co-authored by Wattal and Carnegie Mellon professors Rahul Telang, Tridas Mukhopadhyay and Peter Boatwright, is titled "What's in a "Name"? Impact of Use of Customer Information in E-mail Advertisements" and appears online in the journal Information Systems Research.
The researchers used their findings to craft four key strategies for improving email marketing effectiveness:

On the night of July 9,1972, 1 fell asleep in my tent under the starry skies of Les Mechins, Quebec. Great expectations filled my soul, as,tomorrow, the shadow of the Moon would sweep down on me, creating a total solar eclipse. My plan was to provide television coverage, by means of video-tape, for the many people back home in Hamilton. Assured by my Technical Director, Al Bauld, that the equipment was in perfect order, slumber came easily.

Good Afternoon,
It is summertime, so for the next 8 weeks (until Labor Day and schools are back in session), we have to be careful about lighter volumes. Lighter volumes can add to the volatility, if volatility continues to pick up due to geo-political events. Those geo-political events are what I now term "macro"-fundamentals. The macro-fundamentals for this week are:
**Draghi speaks
**Bernanke speaks
**BOJ Press conference
The "micro"-fundamentals that affect the central bankers' decisions are as follows:
**AUD emplooyment
It is all about fundamentals. At least that is what the Fed says. Macro fundamentals always trump micro fundamentals. Macro-fundamentals such as Egypt unrest and the bullish move it is giving oil (USO) also trumps technicals as we had USO at previous resistance at 35.00. Not anymore!
Micro fundamentals are supposed to guide the Fed in their easing/taking back easing decisions.
**ADP - a non governmet number and not a great forecaster of the monthly payrolls (due Friday)
Fundamentally, the packed week started with ISM Manufacturing. The gauge of the nation's manufacturing sector came in flat. New orders were up a bit more than expected, but the employment component was below expectations. This is important as we have the monthly employment report on Friday. The data continues, so keep an eye on it and as always, keep an eye on any Central Bank speakers.
Technically, the SPX rallied hard today, but after all is said and done, closed where we closed on Friday. The 61.8 Fibo line is still holding as resistance:
Good Morning,
If you remember, we used 61.8 as resistance the last time we rallied off of the downmove. No we are rallying significantly again and 61.8 is in range - about 15 points above current levels. Are fundamentals and "Fed Speak" strong enough to get us there? As I post the chart, what strategies could you use if you though the downmove is the trend and the rallies are the counter-trend?
Looking forward to the data set tomorrow morning in the form of Durable Goods – how will big ticket spending fare? And remember, interest rates really started rising AFTER this data set was developed – so please watch July's number.
A trend has a small window where pushing the validity of a trend-following entry can become a fade and that's where the EUR/USD is today.
The EUR/USD uptrend was cut short by the flight-to-safety in the U.S. dollar but has it lost validity? The initial trade entry was based on a swing buy set up and this set up is valid as log as prices remain (ideally) above the 34 period EMA low. The 200DMA and the 50DMA will have more widespread psychological and technical relevance.

Launchpad from Novation is a USB controller jointly designed by Ableton and Novation that places Ableton Live at your fingertips. Whether you're a DJ, performing musician or studio producer, the multi-color 64-button grid and dedicated scene launch buttons provide easy triggering and manipulation of your clips in Live.
Each button has three colour states so you can see at a glance what's loaded (orange), what's playing (green), and what's being recorded (red). Similarly, Live's interface tells you what section of the Session View the Launchpad is currently controlling. This two-way communication ensures that Launchpad and Ableton Live are always perfectly in sync.
Launchpad doesn't just launch clips. Switch to "mixer mode" and the same button grid offers a unique way to control Ableton Live's mixer. Volume, pans, sends, track arming, soloing and muting can all be controlled via the grid. Using buttons instead of dials, Launchpad lets you jump to different levels across 8 channels at once, useful for controlling multiple effects sends.
The controller is also great for sketching out beats - switch to "user mode 1" and the 64 buttons become drum pad triggers laid out for playing Ableton Live's Drum Racks. However, Launchpad has 2 user modes, and both are fully customizable. Using Live's own learn function, they let you create your own control setup, exactly the way you want it.
Launchpad is not exclusive to Ableton Live. An ideal controller for Max for Live, the customizable user modes are flexible enough to deal with even the most detailed Max for Live devices and can handle generic parameters and controls with ease. Programmers can utilize variable brightness and multi-color (11) LED states to their full advantage when designing new and innovative tools in Max for Live.

Do you know if it has just has new pads fitted?
I have only seen this problem once, after i changed the pads on a mates fiesta mk6. After some bedding in they were fine.
also, is the pad contact identical on both sides?
It doesn't pull to one side but the brakes don't seem really sharp I'd say the feel ok. And yes same contact on both sides !?
If the pads don't have full contact then the brakes wont feel very sharp/confident.
I think I'm going to replace them after why you guys say.
If in any doubt then you are probably best/safer to change them. Also inspect the caliper/carrier when you do so.
so here is the brake pad i posted about yesterday. can you see the angle its on i.e, not full contact?i pressume it should have full contact?or is the angle bit depressed on the disc when i brake? looking abit rusty also? sound like a woman i know
merging the threads...
from the picture for one those disks are passed it the scoring or rusty lines with the metal between shows that the brakes arent making full contact either through the brakes needing a good clean and grese up or the disk possibly being warped the slight angle on the top of the pad is normal it is actually in contact with the disk if it were me personally ide have the caliper checked and greased up whilst havint the disks and pads replaced once home i would paint the calipers
if the disks cleaned up they are likely fine then the old ford pads i had in the shed do indeed have a chamfered edge top and bottom that looks decieving the actual pad still makes contact with the disk you cant see it because of that edge

Why disclosure wasn't enough to stop JPMorgan losses

The Chicago Cubs welcome the Washington Nationals to Wrigley. Unfortunately, in a few days, the Nationals will have to leave again. A refresher on the series preview here at Bleacher Nation:
The idea is to hook you up with the bare minimum of what you need to know about every series this year. That way you can look like a genius, hardcore fan in front of all your friends, with minimum effort. Oh, and there will be pictures of hot chicks, too.
We're Going Streaking
The Cubs enter this series with the Nationals riding a huge one-game winning streak. Unfortunately, that streak accounts for just one of the four wins the Cubs have had in their last 14 games. Yup, things look bleak. But then the Nationals come to town!
The Nationals have, themselves, lost six of their last seven. Do you smell a cripple fight?

Hot or Not and Whom to Watch
The same old story is still both same and old when it comes to the Cubs' offense: it sucks. The Cubs scored a total of six runs in a four game set against the Dodgers, and where therefore lucky to win even one of those games. At least the Cubs get Carlos Zambrano back for the series opener – they could use his bat.
The Cubs once again get a close up look at the man they eschewed in free agency, Adam Dunn. It's ok, Cubs. He's only got 33 homers, 89 RBI, and a 1.001 OPS. It's not as if you could have used that.
Series She-View
And now the best part of the preview: if the teams were represented by beautiful women, who would they be, and what would the match up look like. I thought long and hard about who would represent the Cubs this year.
Given the fact that she's thrown out the first pitch, sung the Seventh Inning Stretch, probably likes the Cubs – oh, and the fact that she is a level of hot commensurate with the Chicago Cubs' ability, I've chosen supermodel Marisa Miller.
You're welcome.
Choosing a representative for the Washington Nationals was actually very difficult – there are like, no hot women from DC. No wonder Bill gave it up for that hog beast, Monica Lewinsky.
So we had to get very creative on this one – or, we just picked a super hot chick and went with Jessica Alba. Again.
Ok, so there's at least a little thought to it: 1.) the Nationals, so pitiful in performance, deserve something good in their season, and Jessica Alba is just good; and 2.) Jessica Alba is actually heavily involved in politics and DC causes. So there. Seamless.
So even if the Nationals don't have a chance on the field (let's hope they don't), we've at least given them a chance in this Series She-View. A bikini match-up, if you don't mind?

Baby Doc made a puzzling return. Now a former president wants to come back too.
SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic — The return of ex-dictator Jean-Claude "Baby Doc" Duvalier to Haiti after nearly 25 years in exile has prompted another exiled leader to push to come back.
Ousted President Jean-Bertrand Aristide, who was flown out of the country in 2004, reminded his supporters — and Haitian and foreign officials — that he's prepared to come back to Haiti, a country from which he was forced into exile nearly seven years ago.
"As far as I am concerned, I am ready," he wrote in a statement that was distributed to the press Wednesday. "Once again, I express my readiness to leave today, tomorrow, at any time." Aristide, who has applied for but not received a passport to travel, was still in South Africa, despite rumors of his imminent return, supporters said.
Aristide's statement has added another layer of complexity to an already bizarre week that began with Duvalier's return. The timing of the controversy could not be worse for the country, observers said, because it has taken attention away from the lingering electoral crisis.
Duvalier, who is accused of pilfering the treasury of hundreds of millions and using secret police to torture and murder opponents from 1971 to 1986, returned to Haiti on Sunday.
Prosecutors filed charges of corruption and embezzlement on Tuesday. And victims came forward Wednesday to add human rights violations to those charges. An investigating judge is now weighing the case against him.
Spokesmen for Duvalier said the former dictator came back to help his country. Indeed, a crowd of supporters welcomed him back and gathered in front of the posh hotel in the Petionville neighborhood of Port-au-Prince where Duvalier had been staying until Thursday.
"I think some people think of him and say 'life was easier when he was here,'" said Yves Destin, who was left unemployed after last year's earthquake. Destin added that many Haitians are too young to remember the Duvaliers. "People tell stories about how everything worked then and it was cleaner. They don't know that there were also a lot of problems."
Duvalier and aides canceled press conferences scheduled for Monday and Tuesday. And his public statements have been few, leaving many to wonder why he would return after nearly a quarter-century away.
Rumors about his health and presidential aspirations have been denied. But there is speculation that his return was a last-ditch attempt to make a claim for roughly $5.8 million he allegedly robbed that's still frozen in a Swiss bank account.
Duvalier amassed a fortune before fleeing to France, but "he burned through a lot of the money," said Elizabeth Abbott, who wrote a 1991 book about Duvalier and his father, Francoise "Papa Doc." "It was incredible how lavishly he lived."
It was a lifestyle that included apartments in Paris, a residence in southern France, sports cars and pricey meals, according to reports. He then lost millions in his 1993 divorce.

View of the main square of Lleida, with the pavillion insuflated in the middle of the civic activity.
The 'mouth' of the balloon has to be opened everytime one enters in the pavilion, to avoid deflation. It brings a ceremony and preparation, it provides the act of entering of a certain importance and also a 'divertimento'.
Words from the architect
The requirement was that the balloon had to identify Lleida's International Animated Film Festival - Animac. Placed on public space, this element had to represent, from the outside, the festival. Its interior had to be the info point during daytime and guest/producer's restaurant on evenings. It had to be possible to install in any space, also interiors. And it had to be possible to re-use every year for the festival.
The balloon is translucent, and depends on the light, almost transparent.
The shape had to be adaptative to the space. Only an insuflated balloon could accomplish that. It could be packed during the rest of the year occupying a very small volume. The shape had to be simple to be understood at a glance, also because of the complexity of the main square of Lleida. And the act of entering had to be dramatic.
A perimetral bench, made out of sandbags heavy enough to fasten the balloon to the floor sets the base. A layer of textile waste from a neighbour factory is added to make the bench comfortable. Once the festival is over, sand is for sale and textiles go back to the factory.
The chosen material for the inflatable balloon is PVC together with a resistant synthetic fibre.
The result consists on a semi-transparent surface where images are projected, which makes interior/ exterior communication possible. A perimetral bench, made out of sandbags heavy enough to fasten the balloon to the floor sets the base. A layer of textile waste from a neighbour factory is added to make the bench comfortable. Once the festival is over, sand is for sale and textiles go back to the factory.
At night, the balloon becomes a lighthouse in a dark square. And a welcoming ambient inside.
There is only one main space, that confuses itself with the exterior from inside because of the semi-transparency of the balloon limits.
Process of building (insufflating the balloon).
