This invention relates to radiant energy collection devices and in particular to solar energy collectors utilizing air or a similar fluid as the heat transfer media.
Many different solar collector devices have been developed in the prior art for collecting and utilizing radiant energy received from the sun. Typically, such prior art devices are rectangular boxes having glass or other light transparent surfaces suspended above a solar absorbing surface which is oriented to absorb sun rays. In these collectors a fluid is passed in heat exchange relationship with the solar absorbing surface. Such collector devices are known as flat plate collectors.
Some flat plate collectors utilize a liquid such as water as the heat transfer medium. Among the disadvantages of flat plate collectors employing a liquid as the heat transfer medium is the need for extensive plumbing, liquid circulating pumps, and the like, in order to transfer the heat from the point of collection to the point of use. These necessary components add significantly to the cost of utilizing such a solar radiation system.
Another type of flat plate collector uses a fluid such as air as the heat transfer medium. Among the problems encountered in flat plate collectors utilizing air as the heat transfer medium is the need to provide for sufficient turbulence of the air in the flat plate collector to assure good heat transfer. Additionally, means are required to prevent heat loss by convection backwardly through the transparent member of the collector.
Both types of flat plate collectors have additional deficiencies in that, in order to provide a collector with a large enough heat absorption surface, it has been necessary in the past to assemble a plurality of flat plate collectors to provide a collector area large enough to satisfy the requirements of a particular building. Since each flat plate collector has its own housing and insulation, this modular construction provides for a degree of flexibility but at the expense of weight and cost of the overall solar collector assembly. Obviously not all roof structures will be able to support such significantly high weights from joining many collector modules; and, to construct a roof structure which will support the weight adds to the expense of the solar energy system.
Thus, there remains a need for a solar collector unit which is more economical and efficient than collectors encountered in the prior art.
Generally speaking, the solar energy collector of the present invention is a cavity-type collector unit having a vertical back wall, a horizontal base and a light transparent collector face. The transverse cross-sectional configuration of the unit is triangular. This configuration is particularly suitable for integrating the solar energy collector into the roof or attic structure of a house or building having a generally southerly facing sloped roof.
Significantly, at least the back wall of the collector is substantially covered by a corrugated heat trap element. Preferably a similar corrugated heat trap element is provided on the base of the cavity collector as well.
The collector contains an air duct in the lower part of the front of the collector for cold air to enter into the cavity. A manifold for hot air to be removed from the cavity is located in the upper part of the back space of the cavity. The exhaust air manifold is in communication with the channels provided by the walls of the corrugated heat trap element.
Preferably the corrugations of the heat trap element are alternating V-shaped channels and tunnels having an angle formed by two sloping sides meeting in the range of about 35° to about 55° and preferably about 45°.
Advantages and other features of the invention will be apparent from the specification which follows and from the drawings wherein like numerals are used throughout to identify like parts.
FIG. 1 is a generally schematic perspective view of a building, partially cut away, showing a solar heating unit of this invention integrated in the roof and attic structure thereof.
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the cavity solar collector of FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 is a diagrammatic cross-sectional view of a solar heating unit of the present invention.
FIG. 4 is a diagrammatic end view of a solar heating unit of this invention.
FIG. 5 is a back view of one collector of this invention.
FIG. 6 is a schematic illustration of a pleated insulation member and glazing for one collector unit of the present invention.
FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram illustrating air flow through the collector of this invention.
FIG. 8 illustrates the arrangement of air ports for communicating with the corrugated heat trap member of this invention.
FIG. 9 schematically illustrates one of the advantages of the present invention.
FIGS. 10, 11 and 12 illustrate different arrangements of the collector unit of the invention.
The solar energy collector illustrated in the drawings comprises a cavity collector unit 10 having a vertical rear wall 11, a horizontal base 12, vertical side walls 14 and 15 and an inclined light transparent front wall 16. As can be seen in the Figures, the transverse cross-section of the cavity unit is substantially triangular in configuration. The collector includes a cold air duct 17 for supplying cold air to cold air manifold 19 and ultimately through the collector in the direction of arrows 20 which is then collected by hot air manifold 21 which feeds into duct 22.
The collector unit preferably is integrated into house or building structure 26 in such a manner that many of the structural components of the cavity serve also as the structural components of the house or building 26. Thus, for example, the horizontal base 12 of the cavity can be supported on 2×6 floor joists 28. For the vertical wall support, 2×4 studding 29 is used. The studding 29 for the back vertical wall 11 can be conveniently tied to the 2×6 rafters 30 and floor joists 28. As is shown in FIG. 3, the front light transparent member 16 of the solar collector is inclined in the same plane so as to be coextensive with and part of the roof 31 of building 26.
In the embodiment shown in FIG. 3, the transparent surface 16 consists of two layers of glass 32 and 33 separated by a spacer 34. Aluminum T's 37 are provided for mounting the glass on the rafters 30.
As is shown in FIG. 2, a door 36 is provided for ingress and egress into the cavity of the collector unit.
Optionally and preferably means are provided for venting the cavity such as hinged doors 38 shown in FIG. 5 placed on the top of the vertical rear wall of the cavity collector 10. In one embodiment these doors will be manually operated and used only when the system is totally inoperational, for example, when the building is not being occupied during long periods of time thereby preventing excessively high stagnation temperatures. Additionally, depending upon the use to which the heated air from the collector is put, and depending upon the total system in which the heat collector is integrated, the collector may be manually vented by means of doors 38 during summer months, for example. Preferably, however, these doors 38 will be spring loaded and set open at 212° F. thereby providing protection against high stagnation temperatures accumulating in the collector unit.
The horizontal base 12, the vertical rear wall 11 and the vertical side walls 14 and 15 are preferably insulated surfaces having at least 2" of insulation having an R value of about 13. Any type of insulation can be used such as fiberglass, urethane foams and the like. As indicated with respect to FIG. 3, the front inclined light transparent surface can be a double pane of glazing. Optionally, however, a single pane of glazing may also be employed. In the event that a single pane of glazing 32 is used, it is especially preferred to include a pleated light transparent material 48 immediately below the glazing 32 so as to minimize convection and radiation heat losses. A diagrammatic cross-section of such an arrangement is shown in FIG. 6. Such a pleated material 48 can be formed, for example, from a polycarbonate plastic such as Lexan or other light transparent plastics such as polyacrylates and suspended by means of metal fingers such as steel fingers (not shown) mounted on the framing for surface 16.
The internal surfaces of the cavity collector and even the air ducts 17 and 22 and air manifolds 19 and 21 are painted black or covered by a black material. Optionally, however, only the surface of the vertical wall 11 in the horizontal base 12 need be black and the inside surfaces of side walls 14 and 15 can be converted with light reflective surfaces so that sunlight incident on those four walls will be reflected toward the heat collection area on the vertical rear wall and horizontal base.
Importantly, a corrugated heat trap element 40 is suspended below the hot air manifold on vertical rear wall 11. Preferably the corrugated heat trap 40 has a substantially V-shaped cross section. The angle of heat trap material 40 of the apex of the V formed by two adjacent extending walls that meet at a point typically will be in the range of about 35° to 55°, and preferably it will be about 45°. The heat trap member 40 can be made from a wide range of materials including black painted light weight metals such as aluminum and even black tinted plastics such as black tinted polycarbonates such as Lexan. The corrugated heat trap member 40 preferably is also placed on the horizontal base 12 so as to substantially cover the base. A plurality of openings 42 are provided in manifolds 21 and 19 so that air is in direct communication with both the tunnels and valleys defined by the corrugated heat trap member. Also, as is shown in FIG. 8, a metal bracket 46 is provided for mounting the heat trap member 40 on the manifold, for example, manifold 21.
As is shown in FIG. 4, cold air will be transported through cold air duct 17 to cold air duct 19 and will enter into the cavity via openings 42. The air then will flow both over and under the corrugated heat trap member 40 and upwardly toward the hot air manifold 21 for collection and return by hot air duct 22 to the building for use therein. The air flow pattern is shown shematically in FIG. 7 by arrows 20. Surprisingly, it has been found that the collector unit of this invention tends to be self modulating insofar as internal temperature is concerned. As the air temperature in the collector begins to rise above about 150° F., air which normally would flow within the valleys of the heat trap member 40 rises in the collector and moves toward the front surface 16, thereby rejecting some excess heat to the ambient atmosphere.
As can be seen from FIG. 9, another important advantage of the heat trap member 40 is that it effectively increases the heat transfer surface of the solar collector by a significant factor without increasing the size of the cavity. For wall solar azimuths of -221/2° to +221/2°, the entire member 40 is irradiated. Thus, five effective heat transfer surfaces are provided. Indeed the heat transfer area ratio is 5.23:1 over that of a bare wall. Additionally, of course, this increase in effective heat transfer surface occurs at relatively little expense. Moreover, the corrugated heat trap member 40 also serves as a channel for direction of flow of air through the cavity.
While the invention herein has been described with particular reference to a solar collector unit that is integrated into a roof structure of a building, the collector unit of the present invention can also be built as a self-supported structure for mounting on a flat roof such as shown in FIG. 10, or mounted or attached to the side of a building, such as shown in FIG. 11, or indeed it can be a self-standing, detached unit such as shown in FIG. 12.

Nice location. Excellent continental breakfast.
It would have been nice to have a small refrigerator in the room. We are seniors and having a room on the 2nd floor was hard since there was no elevator.
If you're looking for an economical hotel with a decent breakfast and staff that treats you like family, this is a great spot. Our room was clean; although it was small, all the basic necessities were there and the beds were very comfortable.
The parking lot noise starts bright and early, so if you're a light sleeper, ask for a room away from the main lot.
Front desk staff woman was awesome. Location was perfect.
Stairwells smelled like a college dorm. Sink + tub didn't drain. One ice machine in whole hotel wrkd. Rooms needed a bleach wipedown. Sliding glass door to balcony was filthy + hard to open + close.
The location was ok, except for the traffic to get off of the interstate to the Motel was bad and heavy with traffic, long waiting line of cars to get to the Motel.
The high traffic, the hallway smelled bad and when we entered the room it smelled bad also.And we traded our room for a smoking room, and there was no ashtray in it, and I was told a Maid would bring us one, and we never got one, had to use a cup.
Family owned, 1960's style hotel. Very economical, clean, convenient. Lots of little amenities that I did not expect at this price level.
WiFi was not always available.
Had nice lay out and amenities for when it is under full.... but when at full capacity the facility was stressed... noisy with buses/ There was space for buses away from hotel, but experienced them multiple times , early, through the parking lot..very bad
the desk staff was very good.
The bathroom was not a good experience. The tub and shower was disgusting. I don't know what the cleaning staff could do with it. The bedspread was stained.
I stay here alot because its close to where I do business when I fly in from Puerto Rico. The staff is outstanding and they will go out of their way to accomadate any need.
Lol, nothing !!!
Here's why:
We're not the seller
At KAYAK we don't set prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.

HRC Commends Alabama Football Teams for Welcoming Gay Athletes
May 28, 2014 by Hubert Tate, Press Secretary, Project One America
Today, the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) commended the football coaches at Alabama's two Southeastern Conference (SEC) schools. Both coaches have stated recently gay athletes are welcome on their respective teams. In a report by NFL.com Tuesday, University of Alabama Coach Nick Saban said he would sign a recruit regardless of sexual orientation. Saban's comments follow Auburn University Coach Gus Malzhan's similar statements made earlier this year.
"At the end of the day all that matters on the playing field is performance. The fact that these two coaches will give gay athletes a fair shot at success is testament to their character and their leadership skills as coaches," said HRC Project One America director Brad Clark.
In the report by NFL.com, the Tide Coach said of gay players, "As long as we respect them, and they should respect us, I would have no problem with it." Earlier this year, Coach Malzhan also said gay football players are "no doubt" welcome to join the Tiger football team.
There is a growing trend of welcoming spaces being created in the world of collegiate football. In February, Michael Sam made history as the first Division I college football to come out. Sam was defensive end for the University of Missouri and 2013 SEC Defensive Player of the Year. He signed this month with the St. Louis Rams.
In a recent HRC study, a quarter of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender(LGBT) people surveyed say they have experienced bullying at school and more than half say they have been victims of verbal abuse. Making sure that teacher, parents and other adults are supportive LGBT people is a top priority for Project One America. The community-based program focuses on building lasting LGBT presence and infrastructure.
A full time local staff and dedicated office space will soon form HRC Alabama. For details on Project One America in Alabama, http://www.hrc.org/states/alabama

Is it just me or did the Garen rework achieve nothing? He still isn't even considered a little bit in competitive play, all he really achieved was the ability to jungle... and there still are a tonne of better junglers - Garen jungling is just a weak Shyvana... His late game is still mediocre. The way that his shield increases a percentage of your resists now penalizes you for building damage, and doesn't synergise with a typical atmogs or fratmogs build. The fact that your silence now removes slows instead of your spin means you are a less effective initiator, you need to save your q till after you've been slowed, or just take the slow straight up, both of which reduce your speed. Also, they increased the cooldown on his ultimate? What the hell? Darius has a true damage finisher with an instant reset!
All Garen is now is a very low skill champion, which is too strong against low level players, and far too weak for ranked play and competitive play.
New Garen is a Gangsta
Zamiel The Grey
Dont play garen, there are just better choices. Go with it bro.
Until any buffs come hes just gonna be a bully in lane vs some people, and a useless mess late game. Just deal with it man, riot already looked at him, theyre not coming back to em for a long time ide assume.
Maining Eve for over a year now, I understand you're frustrastion with the rework. He's still relatively new and no one has shown how useful he can be.
Though I agree that Darius seems like a more compotent top lane. Lets break it down.
Q - Slow Debuff+ Speed incrase, 140% AD Silence Vs AOE Damage - Garen.
W - Armor/MR + Tenacity Vs Damage and a Slow - Debatable
E - Spinny attack thing Vs Pull AND ARMOR REDUC(Still a wtf Riot on this.) - Darius
R - No one questions which ult is better. - Darius
Passuve - Health Regen vs annoying as hell ticking damage - Darius.
Garen at most can win 2 of the 5, with smaller ratios than Darius. Garen HAS to build Damage to do damage, Darius can just build tanky and still kick everyone's ass.
I feel like Garen is more rewarding to play, and can straight up wreck people who do not understand him. That said, he is outclassed in every way by Darius which makes him unused in extreme competitive play.
So, by your logic, anything not played in tournies is bad and not viable....
Gtfo kid
I really dont know if hes a bad champ or if the top players jsut dont like the way he looks. THats actually my issue with him...I dont liek garen jsut cause he looks stupid and his whirlwind attack is just friggen goofy looking.
I honestly think he's Too strong, most of the time hes already powerful in mid/ end game because he just destroys top lane and fed breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I haven't met anyone in a game who vs garen top lane that said he needs a buff. he is a gangsta now, a really steroid overdosed gangsta that needs medical attention from dr.Riot. And like what Reimie said, Hes just like Darius now, but worse. i dont see anyone else who can face him top lane other than Darius and Tryndamere. His judgement is completly thrown in there and gives him a range. his spin cannot be pulled, pushed, or ****ed with. WTF?!?!!? i can pull katarina with blitz and Scarner while she spins, but not garen? and thats not his ult... That was too big of a buff last august in my opinion, hes needs to be dubbed down again.

Here is what I expect to see from the Purple Kitties tomorrow.
There will be no escape from JK20 and AK47 however.
I noticed that during the low periods of my life, when I was suffering from anguish, sorrow or defeat, I could see only one set of footprints, so I said to the Lord,
You promised me Lord, that if I followed you, you would walk with me always. During the most trying periods of my life there has only been one set of footprints in the sand. Why, when I needed you most, have you not been there for me?
Because, says the Lord, Sandpeople always ride single-file, to hide their numbers.
This has potential!

Obamas Decorate White House with Modern and Abstract Works of Art
This image provided by the Smithsonian Institution's National Gallery of Art shows American artist George Catlin's painting, Catlin and Indian Attacking Buffalo, 1861/1869, oil on card mounted on paperboard.

By: Nancy Benac, Associated Press Writer
You can't see it, but there's a quiet cultural revolution under way at the White House.
The Obamas are decorating their private spaces with more modern and abstract artwork than has ever hung on the White House walls. New pieces by contemporary African-American and Native American artists are on display. Bold colors, odd shapes, squiggly lines have arrived. So, too, have some obscure artifacts, such as patent models for a gear cutter and a steamboat paddlewheel, that now sit in the Oval Office.
Works by big names from the modern art world Jasper Johns and Mark Rothko are rubbing shoulders with lesser-known artists such as Alma Thomas, an African-American abstract painter of the 1960s and 1970s.
Thomas' "Watusi (Hard Edge)" now hangs in the East Wing, where Michelle Obama has her offices. The acrylic on canvas, on loan from the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, shows a jumble of geometric shapes in bright reds, blues and greens.
Glenn Ligon's "Black Like Me No. 2," a Hirshhorn loan now hanging in the first family's living quarters, is a "text painting" that reproduces words from the 1961 book "Black Like Me," a nonfiction account by a white man who disguised himself as a black man and traveled through the South.
Ligon, a black artist from Brooklyn in New York, said in an interview that the painting's theme fits with President Barack Obama's efforts to create a dialogue between the races.
"It's a really important part of what he's about and symbolically what he's done," Ligon said, adding that it was "intensely flattering" for the Obamas to want his painting to hang in their private spaces.
The Obamas got to work selecting new artwork for the White House even before the inauguration and had the first pieces installed on Day One. Other pieces have arrived only in recent weeks. And there's a Rothko piece "No. 17 (or) No. 15" in limbo; they haven't quite decided what to do with it.
Working with California decorator Michael Smith and White House curator William Allman, the Obamas have borrowed dozens of works from various Washington museums and galleries, being sure to use only items that weren't already on display. Other recent first families hung a few modern pieces in their living quarters, but none approached the scope of the Obamas, Allman said.
Smith ferried lists back and forth between the White House and the galleries and museums as the Obamas narrowed down their choices.
"The first lady had clear ideas about what they were aiming for," Allman said. "They knew their tastes, and Michael Smith knew a lot about their tastes."
The new artwork is on display only in the first family's living quarters and office areas. Any changes to the historic public spaces such as the Blue Room or the State Dining Room must be approved by the Committee for the Preservation of the White House, which has yet to meet in the Obama administration.
Could more modern artwork be headed for public spaces at the White House?
"Undoubtedly, this will be a subject that will be raised," says Allman. There may be an opening, he said, to "collect something new and different and take a leap."
As for the private spaces, the first lady's office provided a list Tuesday of dozens of pieces of artwork-on-loan that now supplement the hundreds of more traditional landscapes, portraits and still life paintings that dominate the permanent White House collection.
Richard Feigen, a private art dealer in New York, scanned the list and pronounced it "highly sophisticated."
"We're encouraged as far as the art world," Feigen said. "We feel we have someone now in the White House who is saying that culture is an important part of this country."
Jeri Redcorn, a 69-year-old Native American artist from Norman, Okla., said she started jumping up and down and screaming when she found out last week that a piece of her pottery was on a bookshelf in the Oval Office.
Redcorn, who uses the same pottery techniques her Caddo ancestors relied on 500 years ago, says the Obamas' artwork selections represent "a bridge, and a reaching out to other cultures."
"To have this artwork in the Oval Office is like a beautiful tribute to the way that my ancestors did things," she said.
The Obamas' selections include an impressive assortment of modern and contemporary works from the National Gallery of Art. One of the most striking is Edward Ruscha's "I Think I'll ... ," which superimposes phrases such as "I think I'll ..." and "maybe ... no" and "wait a minute" on top of a blood red sunset. Others include Susan Rothenberg's "Butterfly," which shows a horse with an X through it, and Richard Diebenkorn's "Berkeley No. 52," an abstract oil on canvas in soft colors based on the landscape of Berkeley, Calif.
Harry Cooper, curator of modern and contemporary art at the National Gallery, said the Obama's selections are exciting the art world and should provide a significant boost to the arts in general.
"This is great art to live with," he said. "A lot of it is challenging. There are different styles: figurative art, abstract art. A lot of it is avant-garde: It was avant-garde, and a lot of it still is avant-garde."
The Obamas' list of borrowed items also includes an intriguing trio of patent models on loan from the National Museum of American History, including models for Samuel Morse's 1849 telegraph register, a gear-cutting machine and a paddlewheel for a steamboat.
Peter Liebhold, curator of the museum's Work and Industry Division, said the museum was both surprised and pleased by the White House choices, especially since two of them are from minor inventors. All three models, he said, are "intrinsically beautiful. They say a lot about American ingenuity."
They're also small enough to fit on the president's bookshelves, Allman said, and they make great conversation pieces.

A tool to convert any jar file to respond to the touchscreen.
It is very simple
- Run the program and using the button "Open JAR" open the jar file games.
- Then make the choice on the phone model from which this application and resolution of this model (if the option is "Force resize", see below). If you do not know exactly what a phone says the application selects the item "Auto", but the program does not always can determine this automatically on that she did se may be asked to select the type medleta in the process of adaptation.
- After that you can (and can not produce) to make the necessary adjustment.
- Then press the button "Adapt JAR". Runs through the process ... And voila application is adapted.
Setting up the program before adaptation
"Do not adapt the keyboard" - this option disables adapt soft buttons and a joystick (because if they both work, why should they adapt !!!).
"Do not add classes" - This option disables the addition api classes (eg from Nokia). If the application is run, and so why add the extra garbage in the JAR.
"Check compatibility 3D API" - when this option is enabled, if the program detects that the application uses the 3D API. It checks whether your phone is compatible with them. (Not always determine the true TC very rude selected phone model, under which made adaptation).
"Force resize" - this option is forced to change (in the application code) on your screen size (with source). Consequences include this option may be not only positive but also negative (such as a game in general no longer run) or no (visible changes you will not see).
"Create JAD file" - this option creates in addition to the JAR file JAD file (necessary when installing the application on certain brands of phones).
"Create a backup file" - file is created nazvanie_prilozheniya.jar.bak, you can always rename the nazvanie_prilozheniya.jar or click the "Restore" button (it will do the same, or make recovery software applications (of course not 100% original variant)).
"Adapt the application icon" - changes the size of application icons. For example on Motoorla tram and large do not appear.
"Delete unnecessary options" - clean file from Manifest.mf not needed parameters.
"Do not add music" - deletes files from the melodies of the Annex. If you do not play with sound, why extra files in the JAR (reduced size of the application).
"Depression:" (displayed only when the adaptation under TouchScreen first style) - this option is selected, the one key that will click when you press (do not move!) On the touch screen.
The JAM 2.2
(BETTER!!!!!) supporting mass conversion of Jar files and many tweaks like Icon, Keyboard layout and less bugs (i guess!!!)
my gREETINz to the sENIOr mEMBERs!!!!

SERIES: 10 Traits of Globally Fluent Metro Areas
Number 3 of 11
« Previous
Next »
Greg Clark and Tim Moonen |
July 1, 2013 5:11pm
Each week this summer a Brookings expert will post a blog related to one of the ten traits of globally fluent metro areas. These 10 traits below have proven to be particularly strong determinants of a metro area's ability to succeed in global markets, manage the negative consequences of globalization, and better secure its desired economic future. Toronto represents trait 2 – Legacy of Global Orientation.
In the long history of globalization, some cities have possessed an advantageous history or geography. Strategic position on trade routes, seats of government, stock exchanges—all can catalyze an emergent global position, as can basics such as political stability or hospitality for immigration fueled by conflict elsewhere.
These long held characteristics create an inherent inclination to act with global intent, seen in metros like London, Hamburg, and New York.
Cities with a "Legacy of Global Orientation"—the second of 10 traits of globally fluent metro areas listed in our recent report—have also been able to sustain their position by shaping many of the rules of the global game, whether the legal and capital systems, terms of trade, or the operations of ports.
Past prominence of course does not guarantee continued success. Metro areas as diverse as Detroit, Manchester, and Rome have all become less globalized compared to their previous peak. Equally, others are proving that it is never too late to take advantage of changing dynamics.
Metro areas that seize the historical moment can achieve lasting benefits. Toronto is an example of a metro that responded purposefully to a convergence of unique circumstances between 1945 and 1970.
Its location next to booming markets along the U.S. Eastern Seaboard facilitated rapid manufacturing growth. At the same time, widespread political instability elsewhere and prevailing British Commonwealth trade links meant a secure Toronto came to be seen as an attractive place for business. Entrepreneurial and investor immigrant communities flocked to Toronto, drawn by the dense local market, mature trade links, and existing pockets of diversity. The comparatively smooth integration of these immigrants led many to describe Toronto as "the city that works."
Metro areas need to make the most of both internal political developments and global economic megatrends if they are to join the pathway to globalization. Toronto's displacement of Montreal as Canada's unrivaled business center was accelerated by secessionist fears among the Anglophone business community in Quebec. Moreover the balance tipped toward Toronto just as the financialization of the global economy, and the growing role of creative and cultural sectors in urban competitiveness (where Toronto already had anchor institutions), began to take shape. Toronto's pathway to becoming a global city was thus shaped by factors beyond its control but fashioned locally by an emerging Canadian business elite that clustered in the city at the right time.

PFG Best - Do People Realize How Huge This Is In Light Of MF Global?Submitted by kevink on Thu, 07/12/2012 - 19:52
"For Investors and Customers, PFG is MF Global all Over Again... "
MF Global stole over $1 billion in segregated accounts about 9 months ago. Now we now have PFG Best stealing $200+ million in segregated accounts. Apparently after MF Global, regulators investigated PFG Best and gave them the thumbs up to continue doing business.
Also, there's talk that the money has been stolen for around 2 years now. At the very least, it shows how unbelievably incompetent the regulators are. However, it seems pretty hard to dismiss the possibility that the regulators were in on this scandal. PFG Best sent in financial statements but the regulators apparently didn't even verify the numbers with the banks holding the money. And
JP Morgan Chase was apparently involved on this one as well by the way as the segregated accounts were held there (at least for one of the customers interviewed in the YouTube video). That customer's money is frozen right now and they're taking losses.
Read some of what Ann Barnhardt wrote today:
You Couldn't Write This as Fiction
Posted by Ann Barnhardt - July 12, AD 2012 11:01 AM MST
So, just when you thought that the NFA's criminal failure in auditing oversight and due diligence couldn't get any worse, we find out that PFG's accountant/auditor was some gal doing business out of her house in a lower-middle class residential neighborhood on the west side of Chicago.
Here is the Chicago Tribune story.
Behold the global headquarters of Veraja-Snelling Company, which is just some gal named Jeannie Veraja-Snelling working out of her house in Glendale Heights, Illinois.
I wonder if she was also babysitting and running an Ebay business out of there, too? You know, while she was doing and auditing the books of a nine-figure FCM with hundreds of employees and offices in Shanghai.
Again, the NFA is obviously criminally complicit in consciously allowing PFG to get away with crap like this. Not only did they accept a clearly suspect external auditor's report, but they also failed to perform even the most rudimentary tasks when they, the NFA, performed their own audits of PFG. When you have this level of fraudulent neglience on TWO FRONTS, it is impossible to argue that this was just an "oopsie."
Remember yesterday how we talked about the fact that the NFA was mailing bank account balance confirms to an unverified, aka "blind" PO Box? Did you know that you literally cannot transact business on Ebay using a blind PO Box? That's right. If you go on Ebay and buy some piece of crap from someone for $0.99, that transaction may not be completed using a blind PO Box. That is how criminally negligent the NFA is. Their standards don't even satisfy those required for buying crap on Ebay - and we are all supposed to believe that they are "auditing" multi-billion-dollar firms whose owners sit on the board of the NFA itself? Wink, wink. Nudge, nudge. Give me a break.
The management of the NFA needs to be arrested, tried under the RICO statutes and then sent to prison for DECADES so they can ponder what it is that they have done. "
PFG Best apparently also hired affirmative action workers as regulators so they could pin the blame on them.
Also, some MF Global customers had their accounts transferred to PFG Best. So for those customers, they've now had their segregated funds stolen from them twice IN 9 MONTHS!
The cracks in the financial system are really showing at this point. How long until people lose faith is anyone's guess but it's hard to imagine that the number isn't growing very quickly.

Moved by the healing power of touch experienced after attending a weekend retreat entitled 'Anointing the Body' given by Mary Ann Finch, founder of Care through Touch, Kathie continued her studies with Mary Ann in caring for the elderly, the ill and the dying using modified Swedish massage techniques. A few years later when introduced to oncology massage therapy, Kathie felt her heart open even more. She studied with two leaders in this emerging field, Isabel Adkins, BA, CMT, and subsequently Gayle MacDonald, MS, LMT for on-site hospital training. This specialty dovetailed in an oblique way with her other career as a clinical laboratory scientist, specializing in matched platelet transfusions, and solid organ and bone marrow transplants.
Kathie maintains an active private massage practice, the majority of which are oncology clients. She has taught oncology massage and supervised hospital based student massage clinics for the Sierra Nevada Memorial Hospital Cancer Center. She is a one of the founding advisors in creating free oncology massage clinics in Grass Valley and in Sacramento.

Mr. and Mrs. Hummingbird
eric580July 3, 2012
Today two hummingbirds (male and female) visited our hummingbird garden. The male has now claimed the garden as his territory and he sits on the fence and watches. He even buzzed my little brother! I was back there refilling the ant moat and the female came up to me! I am so happy to have my garden visited by a hummingbird couple!
Hate to break it to you, but hummingbirds don't form couples like that. The male's not protecting the garden for the female; he's just in it for himself. Hopefully he won't sit close by all day long and chase all the other birds away. If that happens, about all you can do is put out more feeders than he can defend.

Holidays 11/15/12

posted Nov 15 2012 2:04PM
Sun Sun Sun, Son!!!! I am just saying get out today and enjoy some sun because this weekend looks like a soaker. Last weekend I got out and walked around the city for a couple hours and its was great. I love a cold, crisp sunny day and it means that good food is right around the corner.
I have contended for years that my taste buds go in a yearly cycle. They get reset every year around this time when you get to eat good food on the Holidays. Thanksgiving is the first up and it is always a good selection of food and leftovers are the best. I love a cold turkey sandwich the next day. Also I don't eat a ton of pie and feel like pie is just something you don't get a ton of but hey here comes pumpkin, apple, pecan etc. I saying pie for days. Now maybe its because I am a fat guy or maybe it's because I am a great American but I am fired up for next week and eating all that food. Also yes I am looking forward to Christmas and even though its already started and it's too early I can't wait to get home and see my cousins and eat more good stuff. If I had to choose I might go with Christmas food but I do love turkey day as well. Eat up and enjoy

Christopher Heine | January 4, 2012 | Comments
Retailer's @WalmartLabs initiative continues to expand.
Walmart has purchased Small Society, a Portland-based mobile developer that's built apps for Starbucks, Amazon, Whole Foods, ZipCar, the Democratic National Committee, and others. Financial terms were not disclosed in an announcement on the retail giant's @WalmartLabs blog earlier today. Small Society's team will join an existing @WalmartLabs location in Oregon, according to the post.
Launched in 2011, @WalmartLabs is designed to create technologies that propel the multi-channel brand as a social-mobile commerce player in the years to come. The company also appears to be mounting an agency-like infrastructure that could bypass vendors, keeping some digital marketing development in-house at the Bentonville, AR-based big box merchandiser.
In late summer, the retailer acquired OneRiot, a Boulder, CO-based firm that uses interest-level data from Twitter, Facebook, and other social media channels to target online ads. And last spring, Walmart bought social media and search platform Kosmix.
Small Society was among the startups to receive support from Wieden+Kennedy's startup incubator Portland Incubation Experiment, which ClickZ covered earlier this year. One of the mobile developer's founders, James Keller, was previously an interactive strategist at W+K.
Paul Cousineau, VP of mobile products at Walmart, stated in the aforementioned blog post that "if you live 100 miles from the nearest Walmart but want everyday low prices shipped to your front door, we want to be your mobile experience […] be it iPhone, iPad, or Android."

When I am bullish on a company I augment my long holdings with an equal number of calls. I thought about doubling down when it hit 18.5 a few days ago, but only added 10%., A bit cautious after the november and december action.
When you read the transcripts it has the flavor of a man who has been building a deal for a while and it is about to go through. My seat-of-the-pants target is 27 by year's end.
Are you familiar with Zoginex? Alkermes does some work with them. Big insider purchases there last month after a flawed FDA advisory panel rejection of zohydro.
