Wonderful staff. Rachel when above and beyond two days in a row for our family. We had never stayed here before but felt at ease based upon reviews from the TA family.

Nice updated property. Clean and comfortable rooms. Would recommend complimentary coffee in lobby for guests. Air conditioning tends to blow extremely hard. Beds and linens are comfortable. Close to shopping and restaurants.
The room was very nice. The bed linens were crispt and not "see through" as sometimes. I would stay here again and recommend you do too. The hotel is very near the interstate but noise was NOT an issue.

Meet Sasha, a dog that likes to frequent this fountain near Central Saint Martins College where she likes to bust out a few moves.

2007 Lincoln MKX Problems
A fluid leak may be noted from the axle area. Red fluid is from the transmission. Brown fluid is from the power transfer unit (PTU). Leaks are commonly from the axle seal and/or PTU cover seal. Leaking seals should be replaced as necessary.
The foam seal between the dash and the windshield may slip out of place due to failed adhesive. Our technicians tell us the windshield must be removed in order to replace the foam seal.

2007 Lincoln MKX Recalls
Corrosion due to salt exposure on the fuel tank can lead to a fuel leak in affected vehicles. Near an ignition source, leaking fuel can catch fire and endanger passengers and property. Ford has not yet developed a remedy but will correct the issue when the remedy has been finalized.

Digital Transformation is the ultimate goal of cloud computing and related initiatives. The phrase is certainly not a precise one, and as subject to hand-waving and distortion as any high-falutin' terminology in the world of information technology. Yet it is an excellent choice of words to describe what enterprise IT—and by extension, organizations in general—should be working to achieve. Digital Transformation means: handling all the data types being found and created in the organizat...

The world has already changed. Whatever is agreed or not agreed at the summit on climate change that begins in Copenhagen tomorrow, momentous change has already occurred.
Sometimes it is difficult to see the longer cycles of history amid the oscillations of the day-to-day. So it may be disappointing that there will be no treaty emerging from the talks scheduled to last for the next two weeks. And it may seem an awfully long time since this process began in Rio de Janeiro in 1992, via the Kyoto protocol of 1997 to a possible treaty next year. Just as we are dealing with a global ecosystem in which change is measured in centuries, and a climatic warming caused by humans driven by economic and population changes measured in decades, so the political response to it is going to take a long, long time.
On that outlook, The Independent on Sunday, as ever, prefers to take the positive view. As a newspaper that was founded two years before the Rio treaty, we may exhibit the optimism of youth, but we also have been in at the start, and have been concerned about the environment from issue number one. Thus we are old enough, and hope to be informed enough, to take the long view of Copenhagen. In that view, the formal announcements by the US and Chinese governments last month that they are committed to reducing their outputs of greenhouse gases were historic.
For the past 17 years, international climate negotiations have been obstructed by the refusal of the world's largest economy and the future largest economy to take part. Yet even George Bush, towards the end of his second term, accepted the science of global warming, and one year ago the US elected a President who wanted to do something about it. Of course, the American political system is one of checks and balances – mostly, when it comes to climate change policy, checks. And, of course, the logistics of securing agreement of all the countries of the world – the Danish government invited 191 heads of government to attend the summit – are fiendishly complex. Indeed, many smaller countries hide behind the climate-change sceptics in the US Senate in the hope that agreement will be frustrated or implementation stalled.
But the big picture is that the entire caravan is now moving. The governments of all the main economies in the world have agreed that the greenhouse effect must be mitigated. The talks are now about the how, not the whether. The huge fuss over the University of East Anglia emails is the deceptive dying twitch of the sceptics. The folly of climate researchers in massaging their data has given brief new life to a conspiracy theory, which remains absurd, as Joss Garman argues on page 41.
The efforts of serious policy-makers, meanwhile, need to focus with ever more rigour on the challenges ahead. There are important technological riddles to solve. Can carbon capture provide clean power from coal at an economic cost? How do carbon cycles in forests and oceans actually work? Are there technological fixes that could counter the greenhouse effect? There are hard policy questions. How to measure the impacts of trade; how to balance production of food, especially meat, against that of biofuels; above all, the design of carbon-trading regimes.
The focus of the next two weeks will be overwhelmingly on horse-trading over targets for cutting greenhouse gas outputs and, in effect, cash subsidies from the carbon-rich world to the carbon-poor. The big early argument, which will take place on Thursday in Brussels, will come as European Union leaders decide their common position for the talks. We, the EU, have already offered to cut greenhouse gases by 20 per cent from a 1990 base by 2020, and have said that we will increase that to 30 per cent if there is a good global agreement. EU leaders are under pressure to go straight to 30 per cent. But that seems to be the wrong priority at this stage. Surely the more important matter is to solidify the consensus and concentrate on moving towards a legally binding treaty. Rhetoric about "isolating" America does not seem the best way to respond to the changes that have come since Barack Obama took office. Pragmatically, holding back on the 30 per cent cut – as a response to deeper cuts from others – seems a better negotiating tactic.
Let us keep our eye on the long view. The Copenhagen summit is a hugely important moment in the history of global co-operation to meet a common threat. The fact that it is taking place at all is reason for celebration; the priority now is to turn a common purpose into practical action.

Financial Services an enabler in African investment
BUSINESS| Oct. 1, 2012, 7:30 a.m.
The financial services sector in Africa is playing a critical supportive role in the continent's development, participants in the KPMG Africa Conversation webcast heard last week.
The financial services sector in Africa is playing a critical supportive role in the continent's development as a result of increased consumer spend, public and private sector investment in infrastructure, advances in technology leading to greater connectivity and increasing demand for natural resources by the developing BRIC bloc of countries.
These factors were identified as key drivers of growth at the seventh KPMG Africa Conversation convened last week, reports APO.
Other factors playing a role include increasing urbanisation across the continent, a greater number of enabling frameworks such as the continued increasing acceptance of the rule of law and the harmonisation of regulatory requirements at national and regional levels.
"In Nigeria, for example, regulatory reform led by the Central Bank has led to consolidation in the banking sector," said Bisi Lamikanra, Head of Management Consulting at KPMG Nigeria. "This has led to more focus on retail banking. Further developments have substantially 'de-risked' several factors for local and foreign investors entering African markets," she added.
Different models are also being developed for different financial services being offered in different regions. Globally, there has been a move from de-regulation to greater regulation. Junior Ngulube, CEO of Munich Re Africa, added that "The South African banking and insurance sectors have been very well-regulated and we didn't see any of the turmoil that is still playing out globally. The rest of the continent is also very similar to South Africa in that respect. In Francophone countries, for example, there is just one [insurance] code and one currency. That makes it easy to transact business."
Although investors should guard against assuming that all markets on the continent are the same, further risk for investors can be reduced through combined expertise. Nicholas Young, Africa COO at Citibank, suggested that "Because Africa is an enigma for many investors, a tailored approach should be developed for each market. Combined global and local partnerships work well to unpack different markets." Such an approach can act as a key differentiator for investors entering Africa.
Increased connectivity, in Citibank's experience, has illustrated that national Central Bank debates around policy issues have started to converge around common policy concerns across the continent, said Young.
"Foreign investors should invest now in learning how to operate in Africa," urged Lamikanra. "They also need to recognise the importance of continuing to refine their understanding of how to operate in African markets and the role of financial services in the development of Africa."

Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) release its findings on the breakdown and subsequent drift towards danger of the bulk carrier 'ID Integrity', in the Coral Sea, 18 to 23 May 2012 as follows:
What happened
In the early hours of 18 May 2012, while transiting the Coral Sea, ID Integrity's main engine shut down when its fuel pump reversing mechanism came free and jammed. This caused the camshaft to bend and slip in a drive coupling which resulted in the camshaft being out of timing and therefore the engine could not be restarted.
The ship drifted in a westerly direction towards the Australian coast and the Great Barrier Reef. During the afternoon of 19 May, the ship passed over Shark Reef, located about 60 miles east of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park, without incident. The following day, the ship was taken in tow when it was about 35 miles to the east of the marine park and towed to Cairns for repairs.
What the ATSB found
The ATSB found that the engine manufacturer had identified the need for owners and operators to check the fuel pump reversing mechanism for cracks and secureness and provided this advice in service letters. However, on board ID Integrity, this advice had not been included in the engine manuals or planned maintenance system. As a result, over time and despite regular inspections, the system deteriorated and cracks developed in the mechanism undetected. This led to the failure of a fuel pump reversing link on 18 May.
The investigation also found that, once notified, the actions of the various stakeholders were appropriate and the response arrangements were effective.
What's been done as a result
ID Integrity's managers have implemented a schedule to inspect all main engines in their fleet and undertake repairs as necessary. Staff from all company ships have been made aware of this incident and it has been included in crew training centre courses.
MAN B&W, the main engine designer, reiterated the need to include all service letter advice in manuals and maintenance systems. They also advised that service letters and updated manuals are always available on request through the website www.mandieselturbo.com via the Nexus (Customer extranet) link.
The ship's classification society, ClassNK, initiated discussions with MAN B&W to enhance its knowledge of engine design and operation changes. ClassNK also improved the content and extent of information provided to its surveyors.
Safety message
Service advice from machinery manufacturers needs to be carefully assessed and implemented as necessary as part of a ship's planned maintenance system. Furthermore, all associated documentation should be updated and regularly checked to ensure it remains relevant and reflects the latest available information.

• "Ring-Fenced" Michael Wilson, chief investment officer of Morgan Stanley Wealth Management, says the Greek debt crisis was not unexpected and, in fact, has been "ring-fenced" by global financial institutions. While there may be market volatility, he does not expect fiscal contagion that could derail the global recovery.
• "US Fiscal Policy Could Boost Growth" Tax revenues are rising much faster than spending and, given low interest rates, the US debt-to-GDP ratio is shrinking, too. Lisa Shalett, head of investment and portfolio strategies at Morgan Stanley Wealth Management, writes that these developments mean fiscal policy can be more stimulative for the economy just as monetary policy becomes less so.
• "Higher-Dividend Stocks for a Higher-Yield Environment" A long period of ultralow interest rates has created distortions among high-yielding stocks, making traditional dividend plays less attractive, writes Adam S. Parker, chief US equity strategist for Morgan Stanley & Co. Parker identifies the sectors in which the most compelling dividend opportunities may be found.

Religious Jews praying.

One of the most beautiful and moving weekly occurrences in the Jewish home is
when, after the father of the family returns from synagogue on Friday evening –
the eve of Shabbat – and before he makes Kiddush on a glass of wine, his sons
and daughters gather around him and he blesses them.Besides the personal
blessings the father bestows, he uses ancient Jewish words: He blesses his girls
with "May G-d make you like Sarah, Rebecca, Rachel and Leah," the mothers of the
Jewish nation; and he blesses his boys with "May G-d make you like Ephraim and
Menashe." The father recites this blessing with even greater potency on the eve
of Yom Kippur, before the Kol Nidrei prayer.Who were Ephraim and
Menashe, who merited entering the lexicon of Jewish blessings? They were the
sons of Joseph, born to him in Egypt. The text of this blessing was determined
by our forefather Jacob in his old age, prior to his passing from this world,
when he met the grandchildren he had never seen; they had been in Egypt while he
lived in the Land of Israel, then called the Land of Canaan. He conveyed his
appreciation of them with the following words: "By thee shall Israel bless,
saying: G-d make you as Ephraim and as Menashe" (Genesis 48:20).The
question that arises every time we read Jacob's blessing to his grandsons is,
"Why wouldn't a father bless his sons 'G-d make you as Abraham, Isaac and
Jacob,' who are the forefathers of the Jewish nation?" Why are Ephraim and
Menashe the role models a father chooses for his sons? We find the answer to
these questions in the verses preceding this one, which reveal that before
giving this blessing, Jacob ran a little test on his two
grandsons.Joseph positioned his sons in front of his father, with
Menashe, the eldest, standing across from Jacob's right hand, and the younger
Ephraim standing across from Jacob's left hand. This position was set up on
purpose so Jacob would place his right hand, symbolizing strength and courage,
on the head of the elder son during the blessing.But Jacob surprised
everyone, placing his right hand on Ephraim's head and his left hand on
Menashe's head.Joseph, noticing the change, did not understand why his
father was doing this and tried to return Jacob's hands to the natural order, in
which the eldest son is the one who continues the family heritage, but Jacob
insisted on his change. In the text of the blessing as well, he reversed the
order: He did not say, "G-d make you as Menashe and Ephraim," but mentioned the
younger before the elder.Why did Jacob do this? He was testing his
grandsons to see if they were worthy of his blessing. Was there equality between
them? Was there unity between them? Was the older one able to concede his
position to his younger brother? When Jacob saw that indeed, no dispute erupted
between them, he recognized the value of these grandsons whom he had not met
from the day of their birth, and he used their names in the text of the fathers'
blessing for their children.SINCE THE dawn of humanity, brothers have
been high on the list of risk factors for disputes and conflict. Brothers, who
are the closest to one another biologically, tend to develop competitiveness and
jealousy toward each other, and consequently hatred. This is human nature, and
we see it around us every day. Family quarrels are the worst kind, since the
closeness and similarity serve as the basis for animosity and
separateness.The father about to bless his sons thinks about what the
most suitable blessing is.What wish will serve the children best and
contribute to their future in the most efficient way? Jacob taught us that the
best thing with which we can bless our children is unity, peace and concession.
These are the values we wish to pass on to the next generation and with which we
express our love for our children.Thus it is said in the prayer that
Rabbi Yeshayahu Halevi Horowitz – known as the Shla – wrote for fathers and
mothers to recite for their children: "Therefore, I have come to ask and beg
before You that my children and my children's children shall be, eternally,
worthy. Only peace and truth, goodness and justice in the eyes of G-d and in the
eyes of man.... Give them health, honor and strength, give them stature, beauty,
grace and kindness. May there be love, brotherhood and peace between
them."May peace and brotherhood reside in our homes and our nation, so
that no enemy can harm us.The writer is rabbi of the Western Wall and
holy sites.
