US stocks advance as stimulus concerns fade
Monday - 7/1/2013, 8:48pm EDT
AP Markets Writer
NEW YORK (AP) -- Investors have stopped worrying about the Federal Reserve. At least for now.
The U.S. stock market rose on Monday as investors judged that the economy still isn't growing fast enough for the central bank to cut back on its stimulus program.
U.S. manufacturing grew modestly in June after a pickup in new orders and stronger production, according to a private survey. The Institute for Supply Management said its factory index increased to 50.9 in June from 49 in the previous month.
The Standard & Poor's 500 index last month logged its first monthly decline since October after investors were unsettled by comments from Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke. Bernanke said June 19 that the Fed could ease back on its stimulus later this year and end it by the middle of 2014 if economy continues to recover.
"The market has ... stepped back from the knee-jerk reaction that the Fed news provided," said Jim Russell, a regional investment director at US Bank. The manufacturing report "came in strong enough -- not too hot, not too cold."
If the report had been stronger, Russell said, stocks might have fallen as investors speculated that the Fed would be inclined to ease back on its stimulus sooner.
A separate report on construction spending added to the picture of a gradually improving economy. Construction spending rose 0.5 percent in May compared with April, when spending was up 0.1 percent.
The Dow Jones industrial average gained 65.36 points, or 0.4 percent, to 14,974. The Dow gained as much as 173 points in during morning trading before drifting lower throughout the afternoon.
The S&P 500 index rose 8.68 points, or 0.54 percent, to 1,614. The Nasdaq composite rose 31.24 points, or 0.9 percent, to 3,434.
Eight of the 10 industry groups that make up the S&P 500 index rose, led by materials companies, a category that includes miners and chemical makers, and industrial companies. Utilities and phone companies were the only ones to decline.
The stock market likely benefited from investors putting money into stocks on the first day of the third quarter.
"New money is being put to work," said Quincy Krosby, a market strategist at Prudential Financial.
The market is more than twice as likely to gain as decline on the first trading day of a new quarter, according to data from S&P Dow Jones Indices. The index has risen 27 times and fallen 13 times during the past 10 years on the first day of the quarter.
This week's most closely watched economic release will be the government's monthly employment report Friday. Economists expect the U.S. added 165,000 jobs in June, a figure that would affirm the economy's steady, but slow, trajectory, said Scott Wren, a senior equity strategist at Wells Fargo Advisors.
"It's a confirmation of more of the same," said Wren. "More modest growth, more modest inflation, but not a big acceleration."
The Fed is currently buying $85 billion of bonds a month to keep interest rates low and encourage borrowing and spending. That stimulus has been a major factor supporting a rally in stocks this year and the threat of it being withdrawn made stock markets more volatile last month.
The S&P 500 closed at a record high of 1,669 on May 21. A day later, stocks began dropping after minutes of a Fed meeting were released suggesting the stimulus could be scaled back. The sell-off picked up pace when Bernanke laid out the possible timeline for ending the bond purchases.
The S&P closed at 1,573 on June 24, down almost 6 percent from its record, before it began recovering from the sell-off. The index is up 13.2 percent this year.
U.S. stocks on Monday followed global markets higher. Before trading began on Wall Street, Japan's Nikkei 225 rose 1.3 percent, boosted by signs of improvement in Japan's economy.
In Europe, stock indexes rose after a mixed set of economic indicators for the region. While unemployment in the 17 countries that use the euro rose to another record high in May, manufacturing picked up in Britain, France and Italy and stabilized in Spain.
Germany's DAX index rose 0.3 percent and Britain's FTSE 100 index climbed 1.5 percent.
The yield on the 10-year Treasury note was unchanged from Friday at 2.49 percent. The note's yield surged to 2.66 percent last Monday as investors worried that the Fed was poised to reduce on its bond purchases. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note is used to set interest rates on many kinds of loans including home mortgages.

Banks and Other Financial Institutions are Facing Cyber Threats on More Fronts than Ever
As the narrowly averted "second great depression" taught us in 2008, the chaos which can be caused when banks and other financial institutions fail to operate properly can have ramifications severe enough to not only affect the entire nation, but the entire globe as well. Events making national news headlines last week (and still this week) about hackers reportedly causing mayhem for some of the most recognized financial institutions in the country should be taken as a warning shot across the bow for any institution with roots in our monetary system. To help banks and financial institutions of all sizes strengthen their cyber security posture and deal with the plethora of cyber threats that have recently hit a fever pitch, Global Digital Forensics is currently offering a free two hour consultation with a cyber security specialist.
New York, NY (PRWEB) September 25, 2012
While the dust hasn´t quite settled on exactly what happened to Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase and Citigroup last week, the mere fact that so many theories and possibilities are being floated in the media just goes to show how many potential cyber threats banks and financial institutions are actually facing on a daily basis. Obviously, first on the list are cyber intruders looking to get their hands on actual loot, as in real dollars, followed closely by intruders looking to pilfer sensitive client information which can be used to bring in a lucrative haul down the road, by either selling the information to other nefarious characters, or using it in a longer term identity theft type of operation to create those perfect cyber gifts that just keeps on giving. But today, that is only the tip of the iceberg.
The visibility, importance and clout banks and financial institutions hold in today´s society also make them prime targets for a whole slew of other types of threats, ranging from being targeted by hacktivists with a political or moral agenda, to actual cyber warfare being performed by foreign entities which can be considered hostile to the American way of life. Then of course there is the vast array of other non-state related foreign and home-grown threats, and the especially dangerous internal threats with high level access and motives ranging from financial gain, to revenge and beyond.
Joe Caruso, founder and CEO/CTO of Global Digital Forensics, has responded to many emergency cyber intrusions in the financial industry and knows more than a thing or two about what kinds of threats they face on a daily basis, as well as the techniques and methods employed by hackers to see their missions fulfilled, whatever the agenda. And if there is one piece of advice he would like to hit home it´s this, "Any bank or financial institution that doesn´t consistently do everything in their power to keep the foxes out of the henhouse are not only likely to be victimized by cyber intruders, chances are they already have been and have players with access to their digital assets which could spell all kinds of disaster on a whim."
"Most cyber attacks on large institutions, financial and otherwise, aren´t normally quick in-and-out types of scenarios, they are longer term, with initial access being gained sometimes months, or even years in advance of the actual "job" being executed. All it takes is one successful phishing or spear phishing attack on someone on the network, or some clever social engineering to con someone into giving up access information, or even finding away to get infected physical media plugged into a network device, like leaving an infected USB stick in the lobby or the smoking area and counting on natural human curiosity to do the rest."
So, what can be done to substantially lessen the threat?
"That´s actually a simple question with a complex answer, because every organization´s needs, based on their current strengths and weaknesses, are unique. So the first step is to have a competent and knowledgeable vendor like Global Digital Forensics perform a thorough cyber threat assessment. This will give the client a baseline to start with and aid in the decision making process to take the most efficient and cost effective steps to secure organizational cyber assets, from thorough network scans and penetration testing, to social engineering testing and policy, training and procedural review. The most important thing to remember is the cyber threat landscape is highly fluid and always evolving, so resting on yesterday´s laurels is certainly a dangerous and foolhardy approach to take. What may have been a relatively secure cyber environment yesterday could be turned on its ear, for instance, when employees start using their own non-secure devices. Like smartphones and tablets, to increase work efficiency and connectivity. They may be great for boosting production and accessibility, but if they are not considered in the big cyber security picture going forward, it could be just the springboard a hacker needs to get into the network and stay in, just waiting for the right time to strike."
So don´t wait to become a victim of data exfiltration, identity theft, embezzlement, Denial of Service attacks, cyber warfare, or any one of the myriad of potential threats lurking in the dark places of the cyber realm, take a proactive approach with trained cyber security professionals which fight in the cyber trenches every day, know what´s going on and know how the enemies operate. Pros like the seasoned vets at Global Digital Forensics can help banks and other financial institutions plug the holes before the ship starts to sink, which is a whole lot easier than trying to salvage it from the bottom after the fact.
*Global Digital Forensics is a recognized leader in the cyber security field. To speak with a cyber security specialist about penetration testing, emergency incident response and/or customizing a security plan tailored to suit your unique needs, call 1-800-868-8189 anytime 24/7.

The Chicago Tribune recently ran a story that will in large part not surprise anyone – car buyers are armed with more information before they walk onto a lot than ever before. But there are some aspects about the article that will surprise people.
For example, at least some dealers like having customers who are more informed than ever. These dealers claim to prefer the openness and transparency of the transactions and relationships. However, one has to wonder how much the dealers prefer this situation, and how much they are simply making the best of the situation. One of the obvious results of this flood of information available from web sites like Edmunds and Kelly Blue Book is that profit margins have fallen. For now, those lost profits have been made up by high volumes as industry sales continue to surge. One has to wonder if dealers will feel the same when volumes decline.
Dealers are adapting according to the article. One such dealer took sales employees off of commission and paid them hourly, plus incentives. As the ability to "sell" becomes ever more obsolete, it seems only a matter of time before sales staff are relegated to part-time employees as dealers seek to save even more on their costs, to boost profits. "Selling" is far less important than it used to be – the article notes that the average person visits 1.3 dealerships to buy a car, compared with 4.1 as recently as 2006! This means that buyers know precisely what they want, show up at the dealer, dictate prices to a large degree, and walk off with vehicles.
This relationship between dealers and customers is rapidly changing. I can recall years ago asking a dealer what the "invoice" was on a vehicle I wanted to purchase. He laughed at me. Now, anyone buying a car without that information is putting themselves at a disadvantage. At what point will people be buying cars without ever visiting a lot? It might be sooner than we think.

Dear Poll: Do You Open Your Eyes During Sex?
by DearSugar
Like us on Facebook
Sex, and everything that leads up to it, is really the closest you can possibly be to another person. And since more than half of you — 65 percent to be exact — prefer to kiss with your eyes shut, I thought I'd ask you the same question in relation to making love. Like kissing, I think most people's initial reaction is to close their eyes, but seeing the way your partner looks in the heat of passion can make for an even deeper level of intimacy, not to mention making the sex all the more sensual! So do you keep your eyes open or closed while doing the deed?
dikke-kus 5 years
Closed. I need to fantasize or no big O. Once or twice I have a peek since he's so handsome but it distracts me. Anyway when we kiss which is 90% of it, our faces are too close and I could go cross-eyed trying.
jrocket101 6 years
Just depends on the position. Missionary open for sure....
brutalcupcake 6 years
Open — I love looking at my partner while we're making love. :P
Autumns_Elegy 6 years
It really depends. If I've got my face stuffed into the nape of his neck or we're not looking at each other they're closed. Most of the time they're open, I like to see whats going on and how much he's enjoying it. Visual cues are good. Tends to put a stop to the "what was that?" scenario.
Shi-Rox 6 years
open because i love looking at him, and closed when i'm not looking at him haha
chy1 6 years
at first they are open but when the big O comes (no pun intended) they close. (:
g1amourpuss 6 years
both, but I like to close my eyes a lot to just enjoy the feel of things.
LoveSarah 6 years
I like to keep them open. I enjoy the view, and it's amazing when you are in love and look into each others eyes. That being said I don't do the creepy stare and will close my eyes sometimes!
ilanac13 6 years
i think that i go both ways about it...sometimes they are open and sometimes they are closed. i don't mind having them open, i like to see my man's face, but sometimes, well you just don't want to look at anyone and get lost in the moment.
miriah15 6 years
I love looking in his eyes.
tlsgirl 6 years
Closed, except for a few peeks sometimes. It's just the way I've always done it.
soulight 6 years
I'm also very visual so seeing what's going on around me definitely aids in the mood. Plus looking into my honey's eyes (as cheesy as this may sound) is absolutely magical.
sparklestar 6 years
We look each other in the eyes and it's a very intimate connection. I love watching him and connecting this way. :D
lizzyopal 6 years
mine are open in the beginning of sex but when we start really getting into it they're usually closed. especially if i'm on top! haha i'm afraid that if i look at him when we're really into it, i'll start laughing cuz he makes some funny faces haha
jessie 6 years
open at all times..except when kissing...its more of a turn on to watch the other person i feel. to see each other expressions...especially during climax..i love that
bransugar79 6 years
It all depends on what's going on. There are times where having my eyes open is great seeing everything and feeling it at the same time, but there are also moments that for some reason just make me close my eyes when it feels so good you just want to connect with your body and completely feel the feeling without any other outside stimulation. It's awesome
designerel 6 years
Huh. I never really thought about it but I guess I keep my eyes open most of the time! It also depends on the position too... if I'm on top I keep them open all the time.
savage 6 years
Open. I'm a more visual type of person. :) I'm about half and half while kissing, though. Half open, half closed.
faerymagick15 6 years
We both open eyes at different times and sometimes look at each other for awhile while making love. I like to see his expressions.
tatsauce 6 years
Hell yes, the visual part is the most important in enjoying sex. I like looking into my boyfriend's eyes too, not for too long though, that's creepy! The question is: eyes opened or closed during orgasm? I've heard it's best to keep them open but my natural inclination is to keep them closed.
bluestar 6 years
Jude-C 6 years
Open. We have a lot of great eye contact and connection during the deed. It rocks.
Berlin 6 years
Haha skigurl, I'm opposite of you!

Mom of 2 feisty boys and 1 busy business --Tmuffin--where we help moms connect through birth, babywearing, play, and parenthood.
Well, it took me quite a while to learn to do this with my first babe. The result was that we were both sleep deprived (because it would wake up babe when I went in to tend him) and cranky. It led to horrible sleep habits. So, I think you are doing the right thing. It's normal for human's of all ages to wake a bit between sleep cycles, and it is huge benefit to baby to learn to just settle back down and go back to sleep. That's normal.

Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP's) prime ministerial candidate, Narendra Modi, on Tuesday invoked sentiments on Kargil war hero's name while campaigning in Himachal Pradesh.
While addressing an election rally in Palampur-the hometown of fallen soldier of 1999 Kargil war- Captain Vikram Batra, Modi referred to Batra's catch-phrase of "Yeh Dil Maange More" (the heart wants more) to seek votes for all four seats from Himachal Pradesh in the ongoing parliamentary polls. "When I think of Vikram Batra, I feel I want more. He reminds me again and again that the heart wants more in this election," Modi said.
Captain Vikram Batra sacrificed his life during Kargil War which brought India and Pakistan to the brink of their fourth full-scale war in 1999. He famously used the phrase "Yeh Dil Maange More" before he died. Meanwhile, continuing his tirade against the Congress party, Modi accused them of betraying the soldiers, who sacrificed their lives for the nation. "At least speak the truth for the ones who have always protected mother India, who have sacrificed their lives for mother India," he said.
Modi also dubbed himself a servitor to the nation, saying the nation does not need rulers. "The rulers have destroyed this country, now the country needs a servitor," he said.

ATHENS, Greece -- World gymnastics officials were looking for a way out of the Paul Hamm medal mess. All they did was make more people mad.
The president of the International Gymnastics Federation asked Hamm to give up his all-around gold medal as the ultimate show of good will, but the U.S. Olympic Committee told him to take responsibility for the problem and refused even to deliver the request.

If the presentations at this year's event held in Florence, Italy are anything to go by, LNG is right back in the spotlight. In particular, floating oil production, storage and offloading (FPSO) technology was showcased. GE has just gained an order for an FPSO platform being built to develop the Guará Norte section of the Tupi oilfield in Brazil's Santos oil basin.
By 2030, there will be a 40% increase in global energy demand. Not all that will be provided by oil, but the industry will have to expand from 85 million barrels per day to over 100 by 2030, said Kevin Kennelley, Vice President of Engineering and Technology for the Global Projects Organization (GPO), BP, at the recent GE Oil and Gas meeting held in Florence, Italy.
Siemens Infrastructure & Cities put an energy storage solution into operation in Italy recently, which belongs to the Siestorage series. Installed in the medium voltage distribution network of Enel, Italy, headquartered in Rome, it is a pilot plant with an output of one megavolt ampere and a capacity of 500 kilowatt-hours. With a compact battery and converter cabinet as the smallest unit, the capacity of the Siestorage energy storage system can be expanded to up to two megawatt hours and its output up to eight megawatts.
Modular energy storage system
Four LNG trains are being built across the U.S.
At the annual GE Oil and Gas meeting held in Florence, Italy recently, Dan Heintzelman, the new President and CEO of GE Oil & Gas unveiled an agreement to supply compressors and services for Shell projects worldwide over the next six years. This includes centrifugal compressors for LNG services and natural gas, refining and petrochemical applications.
The annual GE Oil and Gas meeting held in Florence, Italy on January 30-31, 2012, had the theme, Leading Progress Together. It was in recognition that the oil and gas landscape is characterized by growing complexity, requiring leadership and increased collaboration. Speakers, panelists and technical presenters came together to make this an exciting and thought provoking event.
Vattenfall' Berlin Mitte Power Plant.
GE will upgrade two GE Frame 7FA Gas Turbines at a Progress Energy power plant in the Smith Energy Complex, which will help the site continue to meet growing energy demands through increased output, greater efficiency and lower emissions. The two turbines have been operating on natural gas since 2002, and the enhancement project is scheduled to be completed by October this year.
TAS Energy has opened a new office facility in Maslak, Istanbul, Turkey to provide an increased focus on service capabilities and support for customers on a local level. The facility will serve as a hub for sales, engineering and project execution in the region and will be led by Eren Ergin, Managing Director of TAS Energy Turkey.
The GT13E2 gas turbine used in different applications, is a medium sized gas turbine of the 200 MW class. It has a 21-stage compressor with a variable inlet guide vane, an annular combustion system with closed loop combustor cooling and a 5-stage turbine. The annular combustion system includes 72 EV (EnVironmental) burners. The EV burner is a dry low NOx burner with a long operating history and is used in the entire Alstom gas turbine portfolio. Let us see how the GT13E2 upgrade further improves these capabilities.

Certes Networks Launches CryptoFlow Reseller Partner Program
(Marketwire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) PITTSBURGH, PA -- (Marketwired) -- 06/17/14 -- Certes Networks, a leading innovator in encryption solutions to protect networked applications, today launched the CryptoFlow� Reseller Partner Program, providing new reseller incentives and extensive support for demand generation.
Open to value-added resellers of security solutions, network equipment, enterprise applications and other IT systems, the new program offers Gold, Silver and Bronze reseller tiers with progressively more advanced incentives, product discounts, rebates and marketing support at each level.
"Certes' resellers can accelerate the roll out of new applications and simplify network deployment projects for their enterprise customers, because security of data traffic is very simple to implement over any network with Certes' products," said Dean Roth, Senior Vice President of Worldwide Sales and Business Development at Certes. "With the new partner program, Certes offers benefits that enable a reseller to bundle Certes' products into IT deployment projects that will significantly increase project scope, success rate, and deal margins." Launched under the theme of "No Limits," the Certes program offers training, customizable product collateral, a powerful new partner portal, and deal registration options, to enable resellers to generate deal flow for Certes' products that they can bundle into their IT projects.
Certes' CryptoFlow Solutions enable enterprises, government institutions and service providers to easily and dynamically protect any application flowing to any IT asset over any network, including mixed virtual, physical and Cloud environments. As a result, a reseller can help a customer to design and build out a network or new application with full confidence that end-to-end security will be applied quickly and easily.
Typical reseller projects accelerated and enabled by Certes' solutions include: data center migration and interconnect; enterprise WAN connectivity; real-time application deployment such as VoIP and video; encryption of data traffic in virtualized and Cloud environments; and extended enterprise security for financial transactions, patient data, student records management, proprietary information and other sensitive data.
Certes CryptoFlow Solutions operate independently of the network infrastructure and enterprise applications and require no changes to either one. The CryptoFlow Solutions do not consume capacity or processing from network devices or servers. They are entirely vendor neutral and can be bundled to protect data traffic even in multi-vendor environments.
For more information about the CryptoFlow Partner Program, visit certesnetworks.com, call Certes at +1-888-833-1142, +1-412-262-2571 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Intel is facing delays in launching its planned online TV service and related hardware business, largely because of its inability to secure content from media companies, according to a published report that notes the chipmaker's scheme to enter the pay-TV arena was first reported in March. The company, which has long tried to push its technology into set-top boxes or TVs, has reportedly pitched content providers on backing a Web-based service with a similar economic model to multichannel service providers.

Neuromorphic Algorithms Allow MAVs To Avoid Obstacles With Single Camera 39
from the toys-r-us-next-year dept.
I don't think that phrase invokes the same idea as most of the folks on
FWIW, the algorithm they propose is attempt to identify objects that project up from the ground. To do this, they attempt to label parts of the image as obstacle (or not) taking a raw initial guess and filtering it with a pre-trained neural net (using some sort of adjacent region belief propagation technique).
I think they may have "cheated" a bit in that in some papers, they describe decomposing the image with oriented Gabor filters (edge orientation detectors), but they admit that this decompsition doesn't currently work well on their ultra-low-power computing platform.
FYI: MAV=micro aerial vehicle

Create a beautifully serene outdoor tableau with this two-tier fountain from the Henri Studio garden collection.
With a two-bowl tiered design, this Golden Moss finish cast stone fountain will bring a transitional look to your outdoor space. Henri Studio was started more than 40 years ago when Tuscan sculptor Eneri Prosperi came to the U.S.A. He combined master hand-sculpting techniques with cast stone, a highly dense material with a texture similar to limestone. Made from a special cement blend of coarse and fine minerals, pigments, and water, it is enriched by exclusive finishes that convey vivid natural stone highlights in subtle organic tones. Please note this hand-crafted, custom made-to-order design ships for free, but may require freight curbside delivery due to its size and weight.

The only Moist food we buy
posted 7 years ago
I switched our cats to this after the menu foods recalls since Whiskas is not associated with Menu Foods or China. It took them a couple days to get used to the new food but they love it now. The variety in flavors is great since one of cats cannot eat fish but the others can. So we can buy the variety packs and just give him something other than fish while the others still get to enjoy their fish.
Pros: Single serve packets, good price,variety, cats love it
Cons: none

Replacement was relatively easy. Oven door was pulled off hinges after removing 2 mounting screws nearest the hinges. After shutting off power at the breaker, screws (2 each) holding elements were removed. Elements were pulled into oven ~ 4 inches exposing wiring and clips. The clips pulled free with just a little wiggling by hand and were easily pushed back on by hand. Then reverse to finish.

Originally written on Pro Sports Daily | Last updated 11/5/14
OAKLAND -- LeBron James surpassed two NBA milestones in the same game Wednesday night while leading the Miami Heat to a much-needed 92-75 victory over the Golden State Warriors. James recorded his 5,000th career assist with 6:42 remaining in the first quarter, then became the youngest player in NBA history to surpass the 20,000-point mark later in the period, spearheading an early pull-away that allowed the Heat to snap a two-game losing streak. The milestone hoop, which came with 2:45 remaining in the half, allowed James to become just the 13th player in league history to record at least 20,000 points and 5,000 assists in his career. Kobe Bryant and Kevin Garnett are the only other active players to have doubled up on those milestones. At 28 years and 17 days old, James was more than a full year younger than the previous youngest player -- Bryant (29 years, 122 days) -- to reach 20,000 points. Only Wilt Chamberlain and Michael Jordan join the active duo as having tallied 20,0...

Atletico Madrid won't consider selling star man Fernando Torres for anything less than his £27 million buyout clause.
The Guardian says Atletico president, Enrique Cerezo, has grown tired of the speculation surrounding his captain and any bids will be rebuffed unless they trigger the release clause in his contract. That figure is understood to be around £27m, a sum out of the reach of United, Liverpool and even Chelsea, given Roman Abramovich's recent indications that such big spending at Stamford Bridge will cease.
"Torres is an Atletico Madrid player and I think he will stay here for many years to come," Cerezo said recently. "This happens every year. Everyone talks about rumours and throws figures about but Atletico are clear. Anyway, even if we put him up for sale, would he really want to leave?"

While much of the focus this week is on the Federal Reserve as it kicks off a two-day meeting today, a number of important companies are due to report earnings this week as well. Results from FedEx (FDX), Nike (NKE), and Accenture (ACN) could provide an important preview of what's to come when the floodgates open on fourth quarter earnings a month from now. In addition, several software names which are also due to release results this week, saw an uptick in options activity Monday.
Tech bellwether Oracle (ORCL) reports tomorrow afternoon. The stock was off $0.76 to $33.54 yesterday ahead of the results and options volume on the software giant was 3X the daily average. 68,000 puts and 20,000 calls traded on the ticker. The top trades were part of a spread, in which the investor was selling 17,650 Dec 34 puts on the stock at $0.96 and buying 17,650 Dec 33 puts at $0.54. The Dec 33 34 put spread, at $0.43, rolls down an existing positions in the Dec 34 puts bought for $0.45 on Dec 2. By monetizing the gain in that contract, while opening a new position in Dec 33 puts, the investor appears to be positioning for further downside in Oracle through earnings. The stock was down last week on negative analyst commentary and the mean move after earnings is nearly 4%, a bit below the Dec 21 ATM straddle price.

Direct Deposit & Payroll Deduction
Get Out of Line with Direct Deposit
Direct Deposit is a fast, convenient way to deposit your check each month. With this service, your check will be electronically deposited for you each month, so there are no more trips to the Credit Union or ATM to deposit your check.
Choose an AA Credit Union Jet, Flagship, Priority or Ascend Checking Account for your Direct Deposit funds and we'll give you these great benefits:
- Loan rate discounts
- Free online bill pay with CUAcce$$™
- Fast, easy, convenient, reliable and safe access to your paycheck
To sign up for Direct Deposit, contact your employer and ask how. Usually, you will only need your financial institution's routing number and your account number.
Payroll Deduction
We have many convenient options to repay your AA Credit Union loans. For those members on AMR payroll, we offer payroll deduction as an option.
Payroll deduction is convenient and safe. However, it is different from Direct Deposit and does not qualify for the Direct Deposit benefits mentioned above.
If you enroll in payroll deduction to repay your AA Credit Union loans, a portion of your paycheck will be put directly toward your loans on your payday. If you use payroll deduction to repay your mortgage loans, a portion of your check will be deposited into your savings account and then automatically withdrawn from your savings account and applied to your mortgage loans on the mortgage's due date.
The portion of your check is determined by your monthly loans repayment amount and the number of paychecks you receive each month, so that an equal amount is pulled from all paychecks and applied to your loans as directed.

With the advent of digital imaging, the era of traditional color photography is coming to an end. Yet more than 150 years after the invention of color photography, museums, archives, and personal collections are full of images to be cherished, studied, and preserved. These photographs, often made with processes and materials no longer used or easily identified, constitute an important part of the cultural and artistic heritage of the twentieth century. Today it is more important than ever to capture the technical understanding of the processes that created these irreplaceable images.
In providing an accessible overview of the history and technology of the major traditional color photographic processes, this abundantly illustrated volume promises to become the standard reference in its field. Following an introductory chapter on color photography in the nineteenth century, seven uniformly structured chapters discuss the most commercially or historically significant processes of the twentieth century—additive color screen, pigment, dye imbibition, dye coupling, dye destruction, dye diffusion, and dye mordanting and silver toning—offering readers a user-friendly guide to materials, methods of identification,and common kinds of deterioration. A final chapter presents specific guidelines for collection management, storage, and preservation. There is also a glossary of technical terms, along with appendixes presenting detailed chronologies for Kodachrome and Ektachrome transparencies, Cibachrome/Ilfochrome printing materials, and Instant films.
This book will interest instructors and students in classroom settings; conservators, registrars, curators, archivists, and collection caretakers; and anyone else concerned with the long-term preservation of color photographs.
Sylvie Pénichon is a conservator of photographs at the Amon Carter Museum of American Art in Fort Worth. She has published widely in conservation and photography journals.
"Impressively encyclopedic. . . . Well-written, exquisitely researched, and an invaluable reference volume."
Online Photographer
"A masterful history of color photographic processes. . . . Terrific."
"Even readers who have worked professionally with historical photographs for many years will be greatly enriched by Sylvie Pénichon's illuminating book. . . . Carefully researched, clearly written, and organized for easy reference, this latest publication from the Getty Conservation Institute intended for the preservation of photographic materials will be of interest and use to anyone involved in the care and management of color photographs."

Dramatically speaking, the Houston Ballet is cutting no corners as it opens its 39th season with Onegin. Its laden with passionate romance, violent duels and a heady dose of Russian remorse. The evening-length story ballet is based on Alexander Pushkins epic narrative poem, written in 1837, about the aristocrat Onegin, who shuns the young Tatiana when she professes her love only to realize his great mistake after shes married to someone else (this sets up the famed pas de deux at the end). Fifty-two years after the poems publication, Tchaikovsky transformed it into an opera, and then the late, great choreographer John Cranko staged his version in 1965. Houston Ballet fans might remember the companys performance of Onegin just three years ago, but this time theres an added bonus: Elisabeth Daltons ultra-lavish costumes and sets, adding drama to drama. 7:30 p.m. today, September 6, 12 and 13, 2 p.m. September 7 and 14. Wortham Center for the Performing Arts, 500 Texas. For information, call 713-227-2787 or visit www.houstonballet.org. $17 to $150.

Gamma X-2 Stringer frame mount height vs drop weight clutch height

I certainly hope not, if I ever did I was flat out wrong. My stringer has a Wise tension head with the Gamma Adapter which raises the level of the gripper to the level of the string bed. So if I am pulling on the center strings (mains and/or crosses) the tension pulled is just about exactly the same as the reference tension or what I have the tension set at. when I pull the outer mains or top and bottom crosses there is a bend of the string at the frame and the greater the bend the more the friction and the lower the tension. I did a video to demonstrate that.
If the tensioner gripper is mounted below the string bed the tension being pulled on the string instide the frame will never be the same as the tension pulled on the string outside the frame because of the surface friction at point where the string bends causes a tension loss. Until the get to the outside string where the horizontal bend is greater than the vertical bend of the string (with the tensioner gripper below the level of the stringbed) the tension will remain constant. With the gripper at the same level as the string bed the tension being applied to the center string (mains and crosses) will be greater. So if your tensioner gripper is the same as the level of the string bed you will have an automatic proportional stringer because as the angle of the bend increases the tension goes down.
Don't ask if that is good or bad because I have no idea.
Everyone has the right to be stupid... it's just that some people abuse the privilege

FRanklin County Dixie Majors win district titlePublished 9:33am Thursday, July 12, 2012
SHEFFIELD — The Franklin County Red Tigercats of the Dixie Majors took first place in the District 3 tournament Monday night, defeating the Sheffield Bulldogs 6-5 in come-from-behind fashion.
Franklin County would have had to be beaten twice for Sheffield to take the title, and early on it seemed as if the if necessary game would have to be played.
The Red Tigercats — so called as a combination of Red Devils, Tigers and Wildcats/Bobcats, due to the players being from Vina, Red Bay, Russellville, Phil Campbell and Tharptown — put the first run of the contest on the board in the bottom of the first on an RBI single to center field by J.T. Watkins.
From that point on until the fifth inning it was all Sheffield.
The Bulldogs scored five runs from the top of the second to the top of the fifth, mostly on RBI singles.
Sheffield had a 5-1 lead in the top of the fifth when Franklin County came back to life.
Abraham Mojica scored thwe first run of the rally by hitting an RBI single, followed by RBI singles from Jacob Green and Kevin Hastings.
This burst of offense narrowed the deficit to 5-4.
Franklin County did not allow the Bulldogs any more runs in the final two innings.
Everything came down to the final at-bat for Franklin County in the bottom of the seventh.
A couple of hits later, the Red Tigercats had runners on base.
Taylor Hamilton tied the game at 5-5 with an RBI single, and Franklin County had the bases loaded going into what would be the final at-bat of the game.
The batter did not end the game, however, because that was taken care of by the baserunning of Nick Schmittou.
Schmittou was on third base when the Sheffield pitcher hurled a throw that went wide right of the catcher.
Schmittou immediately took off from third base and beat the throw back to the pitcher at home plate by a narrow margin.
This was a walk-off run that gave Franklin County the 6-5 win and the first place trophy.
"I felt like if we could get some runs we could come back to life," head coach Donnie Hastings said.
The Franklin County Red Tigercats will travel to Selma to play in the state Dixie Majors tournament next week.
Their first game will be on Thursday.

Santosh's small size is no indicator of her gutsy fight for justice. Nor of the mammoth task she's taken on in her resettlement colony in Delhi's north east.
In theory the residents of Sudernagari have been moved out of appalling slums into planned and properly – serviced communities. In reality, most have been moved from one slum to another, well away from the capital's gracious architecture.
Based in a small godown (warehouse), a grassroots group called 'Parivartan' (meaning 'change') is fighting for what is due to the people of this community. Their main weapon is India's tough 'Right to Information' (RTI) legislation. Parivartan's founder, the youthful Arvind Kejriwal explains that this legislation gives every Indian five rights: to ask any question of government and get a reply, to inspect government documents, to receive photocopies for a nominal sum, to inspect government work and to take specimens of materials being used in contracts. Time-bound penalties for non-compliance can lead to dismissals and loss of wages.
Sounds great in practice. How does it work on the ground in Sundernagari?
Ask 22-year-old Santosh. She's been working for three years with Parivartan (not an 'NGO', they claim, but a non-registered body leading a 'movement'). Parivartan mobilises residents to get hold of government contracts and check what actually has been delivered—road works, water and drainage systems. One of their first campaigns was for electricity connections. Some had waited for two years. When RTI was used to ask the reasons for delays and the names of officers responsible for it, 200 applications were cleared, each within 10 days.
Santosh began researching the food distribution system. Going door to door through a labyrinth of alleyways, she found most of the poorest category of women had got their ration cards, which entitle them to subsidised grains and groceries. But they complained that the 17 ration shops in Sundernagari were usually closed, or 'out of stocks'. In February 2003 Parivartan assisted one slum-dweller, Triveni, to lodge a RTI request for her records. Though she had not received rations for two years, Triveni's account showed thumbprints (not hers) in receipt of monthly supplies. When 20 others got their records, the pattern began to emerge: up to 90 per cent of recorded deliveries were never received by card-holders. Stolen food was being sold off in the open market by the ration shop owners.
Parivartan organised a community 'hearing'. Triveni was threatened to keep quiet. She didn't. In three months Santosh lodged 109 RTI complaints for women from the community. Then Santosh was cornered in an alley and her neck was slashed.
She survived. But the brutal warning backfired. Angry women demonstrated at the local police station shouting, 'They killed Indira Gandhi, but they won't get away with killing our Santosh.' Sundernagari residents boycotted all ration shops for a month; then checked to see how supplies were sold off anyway. Parivartan called a media conference and started an awareness campaign through 15 slum clusters across Delhi. Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit intervened, threatening to revoke the licenses of ration shop owners who didn't comply with distribution procedures. Five were suspended. A Food Commissioner was transferred.
'Shops which had never opened for years suddenly started begging residents to come,'remembers Santosh. A year after Triveni's first complaint, the system was working. Now every second Saturday of the month, records are available at each shop for inspection.
And Santosh? She admits that no man seems ready to marry such a fireball. But she's happy. 'A lot of people talk about ways to change the country but don't do much. I have decided we can at least change our neighborhood.'

China edged out East Asian rivals Korea DPR and new girls Australia to recapture continental glory at the AFC Asian Cup 2006. It was their first title since 2001 and may well speak to a renaissance for the once-powerful Steel Roses.
The recent successes were a timely boost to the team that, despite a history dominance, is in a period of profound transition. It is also a good omen for the side as they head into the 2007 FIFA Women's World Cup where they are expected to achieve big things as hosts.
While the Steel Roses look to be on track toward re-establishing their faded credibility, they will have to not only work hard on the technical side of their game, but also on building a new team in the shadow of their 'Golden Generation'. Legendary veteran Sun Wen may have returned after a two-year exile when Ma Liangxing was re-appointed the head coach in 2005, but shortly afterwards she was forced to call time to her playing career having sustained a serious knee injury.
Fortunately, the emergence of the young talents like teenage striking sensation Ma Xiaoxu and cool-headed goalkeeper Zhang Yanru brings a fresh breeze of optimism. The pair both played key roles in the senior side's winning campaign at the AFC Asian Cup in August and they went on to perform well to steer the U-20 side to the final of 2006 FIFA U-20 Women's World Championship.
China struggled early in the AFC Asian Cup despite a lack of pressure as they had already qualified for the 2007 world finals as hosts. Pitted against Japan, Vietnam and Chinese Taipei in Group A, they opened their account with a measly 2-0 win over Chinese Taipei. They went on to down Vietnam 2-0, but in the final group match their hopes were heavily dented as they were stunned by a loss to archrivals Japan.
Progressing to the knockout rounds as the group's second-place finisher saw China meet favourites and reigning champions Korea DPR in a make-or-break semi-final. After a hard-fought 90 minutes it was Ma Liangxing's unfancied charges that scraped through, with Ma Xiaoxu grabbing the only goal.
The final against impressive hosts Australia proved a classic for China, with the sides only separated by a penalty shootout after 120 minutes. The Aussies started strongly and headed into the second half two goals up. China had to thank Ma Xiaoxu for the recovery as the 18-year-old showed a glimpse of her talents after the interval, teeing up Han Duan to pull one back before she scored the equaliser herself. No goals were forthcoming in extra time and the game went to penalties. Substitute 'keeper Zhang Yanru repaid coach Ma's faith by successfully saving two Australian kicks to see her side through.
Swede Marika Domanski-Lyfors became the first-ever foreign coach of China women's team when she took charge of the Steel Roses in March 2007. Her appointment came in the wake of the team's disappointing Algarve campaign where they crashed out following four straight defeats. The FIFA Women's World Cup hosts were left without a head coach for nearly three months after former head coach Ma Liangxing developed a heart problem in January and their below-par performances at Argarve Cup sounded a further note of warning that eventually saw the Chinese Football Association (CFA) turn to an experienced and highly-respected European coach.
It was Domanski-Lyfors' brilliant coaching record with her home country that made her the outstanding candidate. During her six-year tenure in charge of Sweden, the Scandinavian nation qualified for two FIFA Women's World Cup finals and made it as far as the Final at USA 2003.

Cops eye murder raps vs gunman's cohort
IMUS, Cavite, Philippines–Police are set to file charges of multiple murder against John Paul Lopez, the companion of the gunman responsible for the rampage that left eight people dead and 12 others wounded.
Senior Superintendent Alexander Rafael, Cavite police director, Saturday said their decision to charge Lopez was based on the accounts of three residents.
He said the witnesses recounted how Lopez "willfully handed over" the bullets to the gunman, Ronald Bae, to reload the .45 caliber pistol used in the shooting spree in Kawit, Cavite on Friday.
"(Lopez) also did not appear constrained," Rafael said, contrary to Lopez's claim that he was forced.
Lopez, 27, from Rosario, Cavite was turned over to the authorities by his relatives at around 6 p.m. on Friday. He was the caretaker of Bae's house in Barangay Tabon I, Kawit.
Even if Lopez did not fire the gun, "it was established that he was a conspirator. We are preparing a case of multiple murder with counts according to the number of persons killed," said Chief Insp.
Reynaldo Magdaluyo, chief of the Cavite Criminal Investigation and Detection Unit which now has custody over Lopez.
Nine people, including the gunman, were killed in the carnage that left a close-knit neighborhood in fear. The police on Saturday identified them as Alberto Fernandez, 55; Boyet Toledo; Irene Funelas, 38; Al Drio, 20; Michaella Andrea Caimol, 7; two-month pregnant Rhea de Vera, 34; and de Vera's daughter Jan Monica, 3. A list from the Cavite provincial government, however, included, a certain Adoracion Cabrera.
The police said 12 others, two of them children, were injured.
It remains uncertain as to what triggered Bae to snap but his wife, Maria Elena, told police that his husband had been acting strange since Dec. 30.
She also said Bae, who had stopped taking shabu a long time ago, suffered a relapse in October.
"She said (Bae) was hallucinating and they always fought since," Rafael said.
According to the wife, John Paul celebrated the New Year's Eve with them in Guagua, Pampanga but he and Bae left for Kawit the following morning. Bae also owned a rest house in Tagaytay City, but it was not clear what his source of income was.
Rafael said Bae tested positive of alcohol, based on initial autopsy findings but they have to conduct further tests to see if he was under the influence of drugs.
The Cavite police was held responsible over the mass murder, especially after it was discovered the murder weapon was unlicensed.
But Rafael said the Kawit police did not receive any report that Bae had fired his gun indiscriminately days prior to the shooting spree.
"Not a single report, otherwise we would have acted on it," he said.
He also denied reports that the police response came too late.
"It was a tricycle driver, who was able to rush two wounded victims to the hospital, who came to the (police) station and reported it first. In three to five minutes, our men were at the scene," Rafael said.
But a resident, interviewed by the INQUIRER, said he was able to call the police for help from his phone while hiding from the gunman behind a concrete wall. He said it took some time before the police arrived.
The crime scene was around five kilometers from the Kawit police station.
Chief Insp. Joel Saliva, Kawit police chief, was relieved from his post and replaced by Chief Insp. Egbert Tibayan.
Rafael also said they would beef up their campaign against loose firearms and road checkpoints in all towns and cities.
There are currently around 7,700 unlicensed firearms in Cavite alone.
