Red carpet pulled out from under MNM?
Judgment Day could very well go down as the worst night in the careers of MNM. After losing the WWE Tag Team Championship to Paul London & Brian Kendrick, MNM imploded as Johnny Nitro and Melina viciously attacked Joey Mercury. Later in the night Melina and Nitro were even fired by General Manager Theodore Long. But MNM's careers aren't the only things in jeopardy after such a debacle. The only thing that was as important to MNM as the WWE Tag Team Championship was their elite Hollywood status. After such a breakup, that status is now in question.
After winning a big match, instead of calling friends and family to talk of their accomplishments, all three members of MNM would be seen talking to some of the biggest names in Hollywood like Paris, Nick and Jessica. With the fickle nature of Hollywood, after such an embarrassing evening, those calls from MNM might be going straight to voicemail.
And MNM looked right at home on the red carpet of the See No Evil premiere last week. Melina especially seemed to be soaking in the bright lights and popping flashbulbs like it was what she was born to do. But will those invitations keep coming in the mail after she was humiliated live on pay per view?
One thing is for certain. MNM's red-carpet status will never be the same after what happened at Judgment Day.

Don't know much about Sydney,but St. John has the Reversing Falls (taking a local bus) a City Market, the little waterfront area and a WONDERFUL lobster shack along the area where the cruise ships are docked. There is a free bus from the cruise ships that takes you downtown. At the bottom of the Reversing Falls is a ferry that takes you over to the tourist area where there are all sorts of pubs,, an enclosed shopping mall and on the way there there are sea lions swimming along the boat.. St. John is quite laid back, old beautiful homes and charming.

Loan-swap warning
Relevant offers
Loan swaps have cost grapegrowers and farmers a lot of money, says Marlborough grapegrower and former New Zealand Winegrowers chairman Stuart Smith.
He has talked to grapegrowers, sheep and beef, dairy and cropping farmers from Marlborough and elsewhere who paid significant "break" fees to get out of loan swap agreements with banks.
People should stay away from deals they did not understand, he said.
"This is not something you lean up at the bar and talk about, which makes it hard to help."
He disputed the Federated Farmers view that loan swaps concerned only banks and their clients. Banks in Britain had been forced to sell more than $1 billion of assets to compensate farmer clients for similar loan swap losses, he said.
The Commerce Commission had been asked to investigate and Mr Smith hoped that might prompt changes to bank regulations and clarify liability. Banks should at least be censured for promoting packages that benefited them without recommending that customers get independent advice, he said.
He had raised the loan swaps problem with Primary Industry Minister Nathan Guy, who had "kept his opinions to himself".
Farmers bought the swaps as a kind of insurance against rises in interest rates but, when interest rates fell, they had the effect of locking them into interest rates in some cases more than 10 per cent on their loans.
Blenheim accountant Greg King, of Winstanley Kerridge, said banks pushed loan swaps when interest rates were at a peak.
Several grapegrowers had escaped from swaps by paying expensive break fees. Others had ridden them out and a small number had done well.
Loan swaps were similar to fixed mortgage interest rates except the bank added a margin that could be varied, he said. "The margin rate goes up so the effective rate of interest goes up, which is where a lot of people got caught."
An accountant with TvA Lock Ltd in Blenheim said banks sold loan swaps to farmers as no different from fixed interest rates.
Bankers and their customers who had not understood the deals later discovered part of their rates had been increased.
"Rather than an interest rate of, for example 7 per cent, some have been paying 9 per cent because of the way swaps have worked," he said.
Labour Party primary industries spokesman Damien O'Connor has asked the primary industries select committee to investigate the activities of some trading banks during 2007-09.
He claims the banks had encouraged farmers to sign fixed-rate swap loans that allowed people to manage their interest rate risk. Those who signed sometimes found themselves locked into high interest rates and unable to cope financially.
"The agriculture sector has a large debt load and a number of farmers have been forced to walk from their farms," Mr O'Connor said.

Welcome to our first Indian Rich List – the most comprehensive listing of Indian wealth in the GCC published to date.
[Click here to see the full list]
We all know the contributions that Indian business leaders have made to the region over several decades, but just how well have they done for themselves?
Pretty well is the answer, with five billionaires making into our list, led by Landmark Group's Micky Jagtiani on $3.2bn.
He is followed in second place by Emke Group's Yussuf Ali in second place on $1.75bn, with NMC boss BR Shetty in third with $1.72bn. At the other end of the scale, propping up the Top 30, is ATA's Maghanmal Pancholia with $170m.
Our researchers began assessing the wealth of the Gulf 's Indian community three months ago, and we have looked across the GCC at businesses run by Indians.
As most are private companies, we have estimated the value of their assets, taken the shareholdings into account and a projected company value were it to be floated on the stock market.
We should, as always, state that the figures are purely our estimations, and no doubt there will be some individuals whom we have overlooked.

U.S. Energy Information Administration - EIA - Independent Statistics and Analysis
Electricity Monthly Update
With Data for April 2016 | Release Date: June 24, 2016 | Next Release Date: July 25, 2016
Previous Issues
Resource Use: April 2016
Supply and fuel consumption
In this section, we look at the resources used to produce electricity. Generating units are chosen to run primarily on their operating costs, of which fuel costs account for the lion's share. Therefore, we present below, electricity generation output by fuel type and generator type. Since the generator/fuel mix of utilities varies significantly by region, we also present generation output by region.
Generation output by region
Net generation in the United States decreased by only 0.3% from the previous April. This occurred because the country, as a whole, experienced very similar temperatures in both April 2015 and April 2016. At the regional-level, the largest percent change in generation compared to the previous April occurred in Florida. In April 2015, Florida experienced record warm temperatures, whereas in April 2016, the state only experienced above average temperatures. This led to a year-over-year decrease of 3.6% in electricity generation for Florida.
Electricity generation from coal decreased in all regions of the country except for the Northeast and MidAtlantic. However, like last month, the change in natural gas generation from the previous year was more mixed. Florida, Texas, and the West all saw year-over-year decreases in natural gas generation, whereas the Northeast, MidAtlantic, Southeast, and Central regions all observed increases in natural gas generation compared to the previous April. All regions of the country, except for the Northeast, saw an increase in nuclear generation. The Northeast saw a 24.4% drop in nuclear generation compared to April 2015 because the Indian Point 2 nuclear plant in New York was offline for refueling and maintenance.
Fossil fuel consumption by region
The chart above compares coal consumption in April 2015 and April 2016 by region and shows that the change in coal consumption mirrored the change in electricity generation from coal.
The second tab compares natural gas consumption by region and shows that changes in natural gas consumption from the previous April were similar to the changes in electricity generation from natural gas over the same period.
The third tab presents the change in the relative share of fossil fuel consumption by fuel type on a percentage basis, calculated using equivalent energy content (Btu). This highlights changes in the relative market shares of coal, natural gas, and petroleum. In April 2016, the share of natural gas consumption increased in almost all regions of the country at the expense of coal consumption compared to the previous year. The only outlier was in the Northeast, where the very small share of coal consumption increased slightly at the expense of natural gas compared to the previous April.
The fourth tab presents the change in coal and natural gas consumption on an energy content basis by region. The changes in total coal and natural gas consumption were similar to the changes seen in total coal and natural gas net generation in each region.
Fossil fuel prices
To gain some insight into the changing pattern of consumption of fossil fuels over the past year, we look at relative monthly average fuel prices. A common way to compare fuel prices is on an equivalent $/MMBtu basis as shown in the chart above. The average price of natural gas at Henry Hub increased from the previous month, going from $1.76/MMBtu in March 2016 to $1.96/MMBtu in April 2016. The natural gas price for New York City (Transco Zone 6 NY) also increased from the previous month, going from $1.36/MMBtu in March 2016 to $1.61/MMBtu in April 2016.
The New York Harbor residual oil price increased from the previous month, going from $5.35/MMBtu in March 2016 to $5.69/MMBtu in April 2016. Regardless, oil used as a fuel for electricity generation is almost always priced out of the market.
A fuel price comparison based on equivalent energy content ($/MMBtu) does not reflect differences in energy conversion efficiency (heat rate) among different types of generators. Gas-fired combined-cycle units tend to be more efficient than coal-fired steam units. The second tab shows coal and natural gas prices on an equivalent energy content and efficiency basis. For the sixteenth consecutive month, the price of natural gas at Henry Hub was below the price of Central Appalachian coal on a $/MWh basis. The spread between the two prices decreased significantly in April 2016, mainly due to the increase in the price of natural gas at Henry Hub. The price of natural gas at New York City on a $/MWh basis was below the price of Central Appalachian coal for a second consecutive month, albeit the spread between the two prices decreased due to the increase in the price of natural gas at New York City.
The conversion shown in this chart is done for illustrative purposes only. The competition between coal and natural gas to produce electricity is more complex. It involves delivered prices and emission costs, the terms of fuel supply contracts, and the workings of fuel markets.

This New 3-Step System Might Be The Skin Care Miracle You've Been Looking For
When I moved to New York after college, I was juggling it all: making new friends, finding a job, going a out and little more than I should, and adjusting to life in the "real world." It was an amazing adventure, but the city life took a serious toll on my skin. That's when I met Dangene.
Known as the "Tracy Anderson of skin care," aesthetician Dangene can make perfect skin possible — truly! She has singlehandedly changed my skin. So, imagine my excitement when she launched her first skin care line called Three Steps to Perfection. It has just three products: a cleanser, serum, and moisturizer, which eliminates asking the usual questions, "What products should I bring to my boyfriend's house?" or "Who's going to carry my bag to the Jitney?"
The liquid-to-foam cleanser is good for any skin type from a 20-something beauty-girl like me to my good ol' pops. According to Dangene, "The key is how much you use and how long you leave it on. Think about doing laundry. When you wash lingerie, you use very little detergent, but when you wash your jeans, you use more. The same goes with your skin."
After washing my face, I waited a few hours before applying anything to my skin, like Dangene advised, and my boyfriend said, "You look so glowy." I was sold.
The true gift is the serum, though. It's in a spray form, which makes applying it so much easier than most serums out there, and it can do everything. It's packed with so many ingredients that it's your wrinkle-eraser, brightener, moisturizer, and exfoliator all in one. I use this everywhere: on my chest to prevent fine lines, my hands and elbows for dryness, and even my feet!
But the coolest part is that with this set, you get "virtual membership" to Club Dangene, which means you get access to Dangene's aestheticians on FaceTime, Skype, text, and email. She says, "It's a way to help people all over the world be a part of the glamour." With clinical advice and this amazing collection, you're that much closer to getting Kate Bosworth-esque skin at home.
Dangene Cleanser, $25; Dangene Serum, $325; Dangene Moisturizer, $150, all available at Dangene.

Pleasant stay
Very well situated hotel, close to everything and pleasant staff. The breakfast is lackluster and the staff could not help me with information on how to get to the bus terminal. I asked both the morning and evening personnel and neither knew. The room was rather small with a balcony. The area is quiet at night.

Police investigate after patient suffers 'unexplained injury'
Police have confirmed two people have been arrested after an elderly woman suffered a 'serious and unexplained' injury in hospital and later died.
Police have confirmed two people have been arrested after an elderly woman suffered a 'serious and unexplained' injury in hospital and later died.
Cwm Taf Community Health Council says it welcomes the health board's 'prompt action.' Dr Paul Worthington, the council's chief officer, said he has spoken to the health board and been reassured that the delivery of services was unaffected.
We are aware of the fact that an unexplained injury was sustained by a patient at Ysbyty Cwm Cynon. This is clearly a very serious issue and our thoughts and sincere condolences go to the family at this very sad time.
We welcome the prompt action by the health board in initiating the multi-agency review process to consider what happened. This swift response was both right and essential.
We are aware that staff are being interviewed as part of the ongoing process of investigation into the incident, and it would not be appropriate to comment in detail until that investigation is completed.
Gwent Police is appealing for information and calling for extra vigilance after a number of distraction incidents across the area.

$1.85 or so is fine!
Be careful with bio tech, sometimes they do bounce but not always. Look at TYZM, it got killed a couple of months back, down 75% in one day. Then...down another 50% from there and it has been hanging out there.
Yopu better hurry up and sell before clsn sell 25 million of cheap shares dummy
Sentiment: Strong Sell
will never see 1.85 again

So many exhibits. Great times!
Absolutely amazing! Thoroughly enjoyed the museum, including the bookstore.
WOW! One of the most interesting Art Museums I have toured. Plan on spending hours there.

Lovely museum. Great collections!
It was really great. I spend more than 3 hours exploring, but it was not enough. I will surely spend more time during my next visit to Chicago. It was just enlightening seeing paintings I've studied while in undergrad at the Savannah College of Art and Design SCAD.
Nicholas M United States of ...
Great art and cultural experience
This trip was amazing! Thank you,
Tremendous museum. One cannot do it justice in a day or two. They got into the spirit of the Blackhawks celebrations. Hockey helmets on the lions.
A must see if you are in Chicago and love art.
A must see! Great museum!
The Art Institute is magnificent! We could have devoted an entire day and still would not have seen everything. This is a real treasure--not to be missed when in Chicago.
The Tour was really amazing!!! The Art Institute of Chicago is one the "must go to" place. It's has vast variety and number of art pieces that you can think of. No one should miss this place!
This tour was amazing!
What a splendid art institute this is! How lucky I was to be in Chicago during the excellent Magritte exhibition.
Awesome city!!!!
Wonderful exibit! It was a very interesting idea to combine fashion and art.
Great tour. Voucher did not save time in fact lost Sr. citizen rate and my traveling companion did not arrive in time and voucher was non-transferrable. Still have to get in line to pick up their ticket and they also did not know what the voucher was about. Just buy tickets there. Great site for picking out what to do and get idea of prices but did not save any time or money!!!!
Not too crowded. Lay out of building confusing. Art well worth it.
Great art exhibit and fantastic building
The museum far surpassed my expectations with its selected range of art from early mesapotamia to modern from sculptures to paintings to modern media. That it was a cold winter afternoon made it even more appealing !!
Very nice museum. I do not agree with the # 1 in the world. People need to get to Paris and Rome.
Nice museum

Sandusky Lawyers to Argue Trial Fairness
who sentenced Jerry Sandusky to at least 30 years in prison is about to hear
defense lawyers and prosecutors argue over whether the former Penn State
assistant football coach got a fair trial.
The proceeding Thursday in Bellefonte
includes a debate over whether Sandusky's lawyers had enough time to prepare
for the trial that resulted in a 45-count guilty verdict.
Sandusky says Judge John Cleland should
have issued jury instructions about how long it took his victims to report abuse.
He's also challenging hearsay testimony by
a janitorial supervisor who told jurors that a co-worker had seen Sandusky
raping a boy.
Sandusky is serving a 30- to 60-year state
prison sentence, but maintains his innocence and is pursuing appeals.

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a system intended for permanently installing measuring sondes against the inner wall of pipes.
2. Description of the Prior Art
It is well-known to lower seismic receivers into a well by means of a support such as a tube lowered in the well to a working depth. The receivers are placed in sondes. mobile boxes or pads secured to anchor systems suited to move on request the receivers until they are coupled with the well wall, directly or by means of a casino pipe. The anchor systems can comprise mobile arms that can be shifted by hydraulic jacks or springs. Displacement to an expanded position is performed by electric or hydraulic triggering means controlled by an operator from the surface, once the depth of installation is reached. They can also be secured to flexible blades such as tube off-centering blades and pressed against the well wall thereby.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,181,565 describes a system for permanent installation, in a well, of a sonde for seismic or acoustic pickups by means of a tubular string such as a production tubing for example. The sonde (or each one of them) is associated with a system externally fastened to the string. At the operator's request, each sonde can be moved from a set back position where it is coupled with the string to a position of coupling with the wall of the well (or a well casing tube) and acoustically decoupled from the string.
The system according to the invention installs, at an operator's request, at least one measuring sonde (containing seismic receivers for example) against the wall of a pipe such as a well or a tube, at a point thereof where it is brought by displacement of a sufficiently rigid elongate support element (an electrocarrying cable, a rod, a tube, a tubing, etc.). The system comprises at least one device for coupling each sonde, comprising at least one deformable element made at least partly of a shape-memory alloy to which the sonde is fastened, this deformable element being suited to be brought, under the action of a temperature variation, from a set back position at a distance from the wall of the tube or of the well to an expanded position where said sonde is pressed against the wall of this tube or well and acoustically decoupled from the elongate support element, and devices which intermittently heat the shape-memory element.
The installation system according to the invention has applications in many industries and is useful for positioning various measuring sondes useful for long-life monitoring of underground zones, such as hydrocarbon reservoirs during exploration and/or production stages, or storage or burial reservoirs. The system can be used for example for installing seismic pickups (geophones, hydrophones, etc) coupled with the wall of a well for monitoring operations, whether for active monitoring using a seismic source placed at the surface, in another well or in the same well, or passive monitoring for detecting reactions of the zone in response to production operation carried out therein.
It can also be used for anchoring in wells sondes lowered at the end of a cable comprising receivers, notably seismic pickups.
According to a first embodiment, the system comprises means for transverse positions of the support element in the well or tube, the coupling device comprising, a tubular sleeve supporting each deformable element, the cross-section of the tubular sleeve being larger than that of the support element, the deformable element being dimensioned so as to immobilize the tubular sleeve against the support element in the set back position thereof and to decouple the tubular sleeve from the support element in the expanded position thereof, as a result of the deformation of this part through heating.
According to a variant of this embodiment, each device can comprise elastic damping devices placed between the sleeve and the support element, which mechanically decouples each sonde from the support element when each deformable element is in an expanded position.
The deformable elements can be, for example, plates or blades entirely made of a shape-memory material whose opposite ends are secured to the sleeves. These deformable elements can also be partly made of a shape-memory alloy and comprise for example one or more parts (articulated or not) fastened to parts made of a shape-memory material, so dimensioned that the deformable element reaches said expanded position.
According to another embodiment, each device comprises at least one tubular element made of a shape-memory alloy, placed between stops secured to the support element, this tubular element being deformable from a set back position where its cross-section is smaller than the cross-section of the tube or well to an expanded position where its cross-section is at least equal to the cross-section of the tube or well, where it is decoupled from the stops.
According to another embodiment, the support element is a cable, at least one sonde being lowered in the pipe suspended from this cable, this sonde comprising a body, an anchor arm that can be moved away from the body by deformation of at least one element made of a shape-memory alloy, and a heat source which heats the element on request which moves away of each anchor arm and coupling of the body against the wall of the pipe.
According to a first implementation mode, the intermittent heat source comprises a pumping installation which circulates in the pipe (well or tube) a fluid at a sufficient temperature to cause deformation of each deformable element until reaching its expanded position.
According to another implementation mode, the heat source comprises electric resistors included in each deformable element and a power supply circuit connected to a source of current.
According to a variant that can be used when the outer face of the tube is accessible, the system comprises mobile heat source that can be positioned outside the tube, in the neighborhood of each coupling device.
The system can be used for example for installing a series of seismic sondes against the wall of a wellbore drilled through an underground zone, and it comprises in this case a transmitter, to a surface recording station, of signals picked up by the various seismic sondes. The support element used to lower the various coupling devices to their working depth can either be a tubing that remains in place in the well where it is used for carrying fluids (hydrocarbon production, injection of scavenging fluids, gas, substances to be stored, etc.), or a simple tube that is withdrawn once the seismic sondes are coupled with the well wall, or a cable intended for suspension of one or more sondes in a well.
Other features and advantages of the system according to the invention will be clear from reading the description hereafter of non limitative realisation examples, with reference to the accompanying drawings wherein:
FIGS. 1 and 2 diagrammatically show a coupling device using a shape-memory coupling element, associated with a guide tube, shown in a set back position suited for moving a measuring sonde along a tube (FIG. 1), and in an expanded position suited for coupling the sonde with the tube wall (FIG. 2),
FIG. 3 diagrammatically shows a second embodiment of the coupling element in the set back position thereof,
FIG. 4 diagrammatically shows the position taken by the coupling element of FIG. 3 in an expanded position.
FIGS. 5 and 6 diagrammatically show a third embodiment of each coupling device in the set back position thereof, in a lengthwise (FIG. 5) and cross-sectional view (FIG. 6) respectively,
FIGS. 7 and 8 diagrammatically show the same third embodiment of each coupling device in the expanded position thereof, also in a lengthwise (FIG. 7) and cross-sectional view (FIG. 8) respectively, and
FIGS. 9 and 10 diagrammatically show another embodiment of the system applied to a sonde lowered in a well at the end of an electrocarrying cable for example, and which is coupled with the wall by moving away an arm made of a shape-memory alloy.
The installation system according to the invention is suited for lowering, in a pipe 1, one or more devices 2 for coupling measuring sondes. In underground applications for example, pipe 1 can be the wall of a wellbore drilled through a formation or possibly a conventional casing pipe cemented in the well. Coupling devices 2 are lowered all along pipe 1, to the coupling points, by means of any sufficiently rigid support element 3: a rod, a tube or a tubing used for transfer of fluids between the surface and the underground zone in one direction or in the opposite direction, according to applications.
According to the embodiment of FIGS. 1, 2, support element 3, which is here a tube, is associated with off-centering elements 4 arranged on either side of each couplings device 2 and intended to position tube 3 in relation to pipe 1. Each coupling device 2 comprises a tubular sleeve 5 of larger section than tube 3, provided with a deformable element 6.
A deformable element entirely made of a shape-memory alloy of a type known to the man skilled in the art is for example used. Such alloys are described in many documents, notably in "Engineering Journals". Such alloys undergo a thermoelastic martensitic type reversible structural transformation that occurs between a certain temperature at which they are deformed and a higher threshold temperature, variable according to the alloys used, where they regain their initial shape. These alloys are for example based on titanium-nickel or copper-zinc-aluminum combinations. Some properties of Ti—Ni and Cu—Zn—Al alloys are given in the table hereafter as regards their operating or hysteresis temperatures and their deformation power:
Maximum operating temperature for
100 to 120
shape memory
Martensitic transformation hysteresis
20 to 40
5 to 15
Maximum tensile strain recoverable by
Annular stops 7 are fastened to tube 3 on either side of each sleeve. Their cross-section is smaller than the inner section of sleeve 5. Deformable element 6 is here a plate or a blade resting on sleeve 5 at its opposite ends, whose memorized shape is that shown in FIG. 2.
As the coupling device is introduced into pipe 1, deformable element 6 is deformed towards the inside so as to rest against tube 3. In this position, the sleeve is immobilized longitudinally by annular stops 7.
When the coupling device has reached its prescribed position in the pipe, a local temperature rise above the threshold temperature is produced, so that deformable element 6 regains the convex shape shown in FIG. 2 and, in its central part, it is tightly pressed against the wall of pipe 1. It is this central part resting, against pipe, 1 to which the measuring sonde 8 is fastened.
Off-centering devices 4 are so dimensioned that annular sleeve 5 is substantially centred on tube 3 and stops 7. The measuring sonde is therefore entirely mechanically decoupled from tube 3. This layout is particularly suited for applications where tube 3 is a production tubing that is left in place for fluid transfers and where the sondes include seismic or acoustic type pickups (geophones for example) which would otherwise be sensitive to the vibrations to which the tubing is subjected during operation. For other applications where tube 3 is not necessary any longer, it is possible to withdraw it completely, the coupling devices remaining in place and resting against the inner face of pipe 1.
According to a variant of the previous embodiment, in the absence of off-centering means 4 stabilizing the position of the tube in pipe 1, it is possible to obtain mechanical decoupling of each measuring sonde in relation to tube 3 by interposing elastic damping means (not shown) between the tube and the sleeve.
A pumping installation allowing to inject into the pipe a fluid at the temperature required for coupling blades 6 to expand can be used as heating means for example. The temperature triggering deformable elements 6 can be obtained by including in coupling devices 2 electric resistors supplied, from the outlet of pipe 1 (from a surface installation for example), by an electric generator (not shown).
If pipe 1 is accessible from outside, a heating means of any type allowing to locally raise the temperature at the points where coupling devices 2 are positioned can be used in this case.
According to the embodiment of FIGS. 3, 4, each deformable element can also consist of several parts. It comprises two corner plates 10A, 10B fastened to a box 9 containing pickups. Two connecting parts 11A, 11B (flexible or not) connect the two corner plates 10 to the ends of sleeve 5. Corner plates 10A, 10B are made of a shape-memory alloy. The memorized shape that provides coupling of sonde 8 with the wall of pipe 1 is that shown in FIG. 4. The constrained shape allowing each coupling device 2 to engage into pipe 1 is shown in FIG. 3. Electric resistors 12 placed in box 9 and connected by a cable 13 to an electric generator (not shown) can be used as heating means for example.
According to the embodiment of FIGS. 6 to 8, each coupling device 2 comprises a deformable tubular element 14 made of a shape-memory alloy that is placed between stops 15 secured to the support element. A measuring sonde 8 is arranged against the outer face of tubular element 14. In its set back position (FIGS. 5, 6) required for transfer of each sonde to its coupling point, its cross-section is smaller than that of pipe 1 and it rests at least partly against end stops 15. In the expanded position, also restored by heating, tubular element 14 is brought back to an extended position where its cross-section is at least equal to the cross-section of pipe 1, and where it is decoupled from stops 15 and tube 3.
This layout can be used to simultaneously obtain sealing of pipe 1, provided that tubular element 14 has a closed terminal wall.
The system that has been described can be used for example to install a series of seismic sondes 8, 9 against the wall of a wellbore 1 drilled through an underground zone, and it comprises in this case means L for transmitting signals picked up by the various seismic sondes to a surface recording station (not shown).
The elongate support element 3 used to lower the various coupling devices to the installation depth can be a tubing that remains in place in the well where it is used to carry fluids (hydrocarbon production, injection of scavenging fluids, gas, substances to be stored, etc.), or a simple tube that is withdrawn once the seismic sondes are coupled with the well wall, as described.
The elongate support element can also be an electrocarrying cable used to lower in a pipe or a well one or more sondes of a type described for example in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,616,703 and 4,957,162 filed by the assignee. Such a sonde comprises (FIGS. 9, 10) a rigid body 16 that can be pressed against the wall of pipe 1 through opening of an anchor arm 17. This anchor arm can be entirely made of a shape-memory alloy and comprise housings for electric resistors (not shown) that are supplied from the surface by electric conductors in cable 18 supporting the sonde. As in the embodiment already described in connection with FIGS. 3, 4, the arm can be made at least partly of such an alloy, the heating source being located at the place where the deformable part is arranged. According to a variant already described, opening of such an arm can also be obtained by pumping a sufficiently hot fluid into pipe 1.
Embodiments where measuring sondes 8, 9 are coupled with the inner wall of a pipe by means of deformable elements made of a shape-memory alloy have been described. A similar technique could of course be used for coupling sondes with the outer wall of any tube.

The economy.
It's what Ohioans most often say when asked what troubles them. But what they mean when they say "the economy" requires asking when they were born and how life's been since they began working.
Ohioans, like most Americans, have fractured views of how to strengthen the fragile economic recovery of the past eight years, though many vaguely agree that more good-paying jobs might do it.

These businesses are convinced mobile payment is convenient for customers—not to mention very cool as well—and that they will scramble to adopt the technology.
Sounds sensible, enough, right? I mean, who wouldn't want to leave their purses and wallets behind and carry only a smartphone?
For now, it appears, few do. Despite mobile payment availability at retail giants such as Target, Wal-Mart and Starbucks, customers aren't responding to the call for smartphone payment.
Why not? Chief among the many reasons is they see mobile payment as more neat-o than necessary. Cards and cash still work fine, and seeing as they can't buy everything with just their smartphones, they still have to carry wallets and pocketbooks anyway. So why add a new layer of technology?
In a CNET.com story titled, "Mobile payments: A solution in search of a problem," Marguerite Reardon writes that the digital wallet must replace the physical leather wallet before people see it as a benefit, and until that happens on a large scale, consumer response is generally, "Meh."
Smartphone payment will likely catch on slowly in the restaurant space. For example, a MediaPost.com story stated that only "half of media-savvy mobile users now have at least one restaurant-specific app on their phones." Among those, Yelp is the most popular, followed by Urbanspoon and Zagat—apps that are general mobile restaurant directories, not restaurant specific at all.
Starbucks, however, does have a specific app, a snazzy tool that helped it win the 2012 Mobile Marketer of the Year award from MobileMarketing.com. Still, its use by customers is modest compared to cash, credit and gift card transactions.
In its January 2013 earnings call, Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz said that 2.1 million transactions per week are made on mobile phones. Sounds like a lot until you acknowledge the chain's average customer volume is 60 million customers a week. That means mobile payment usage is only about 3.5 percent of all transactions. By comparison, 25 percent of the java giant's transactions come from gift cards.
So what are restaurateurs to do? Ignore the rush to develop mobile payment options and do nothing? Certainly for large chains, the technology will be in use sooner than later.
But perhaps the best plan is acknowledge what customers actually want in terms of direct electronic engagement with restaurant brands, and then continue developing those options. Online ordering is the most mature platform and growing steadily because it's incredibly convenient.
Loyalty programs are players as well because customers get something in return for their patronage. And where smartphone-based programs are used it's all the better, because there's no card to swipe. According to a recent survey, 64 percent of smart phone users said loyalty points gained through their phones will make them more likely to place an order.
In such cases, customers and restaurateurs win because customers get rewards for patronage and operators get valuable customer purchasing data. They know what their customers like, what they'll pay for it and how often they want buy it. Quite simply, that's marketing gold mined affordably.
Mobile payment is coming, no doubt about it, just not as fast creators of those programs would have you believe. Until then, perhaps it's wise to work with proven technologies and what we know consumers like.
