Dr Cheong Choong Kong
Dr ('CK') Cheong Choong Kong accepted his last award as an airline executive on 8 July 2003. With 29 years in Singapore Airlines - and 19 at its helm - he retired from his SIA role on 30 June, 2003. 'CK' presided over perhaps the most remarkable growth of any airline, regardless of region. In terms of recent aviation 'greats' in the Asia Pacific region, there is only blue sky between him and other contenders. As with many greats, CK is unassuming and quietly self-deprecating, with a sharp - but usually gentle - sense of fun. He did not retire, but joined a leading Asian bank, where, as he noted with characteristic understatement and wry humour, "I have reason to believe that my banker's credentials, especially during these times, will endear me to a lot of old friends in the airlines and the travel business."
Ray Webster
CEO for ten years of a company that has changed the way people think about travel, Ray Webster, has built an airline that carries 30 million passengers a year. A former Air New Zealand executive for 28 years, Ray left easyJet in a strong position, unveiling a better than expected rise in profits and a strong outlook. Ray Webster said: "I am honoured to be presented with such an award, however I must stress that the success of easyJet is the result of a passionate, dedicated and enthusiastic team that I am very proud to have been a part of."
Maurice Flanagan
Under Mr Flanagan's stewardship since start-up, Emirates has gone from two aircraft serving three destinations in India and Pakistan to a fleet of more than 100 aircraft and the only airline operating non-stop to all continents on the globe from the one hub. Emirates' and Dubai's ascendant influence on global aviation will change the structure of the industry in years to come.
Dato' Seri Bashir Ahmad
Over several decades, he has had a quiet but massive influence in all sectors of Malaysia's aviation development, in what has been a remarkable period of aviation development and reform. Under Dato' Bashir's leadership and vision, KLIA has had an outstanding recent history. It is a regional leader in the low cost sector, which is driving millions in investment and tourism expenditure into the country. Malaysia's ascendant influence on Asian aviation will change the structure of the industry in years to come.
Dato' Sri Tony Fernandes
Tony Fernandes is the youngest inductee into the Hall of Fame, but his impact on Asia Pacific aviation has been profound. Pioneering the cross-border joint venture model in Asia to open up new opportunities beyond its Malaysian base in Thailand and Indonesia, as well as low-cost long-haul services to link the region globally, the AirAsia Group is on track to handle 24 million passengers in 2009 – some 30% more than in 2008, despite the global economic slowdown. But AirAsia's impact is much more than its generation of strong traffic growth. The airline is catalysing positive change in the way governments, suppliers and its rivals are thinking and acting. We are delighted to recognise Tony Fernandes' leadership role in driving our industry forward.
Brett Godfrey
Brett Godfrey stepped down on 07-May-2010 after 10 years as CEO of Virgin Blue – a tenure that saw the development of Virgin Blue from start-up into Australia's second largest carrier, as well as the establishment of New Zealand-based Pacific Blue, the group's long-haul arm V Australia and the innovative cross-border JV with the Samoan Government. Among aviation industry figures he is unique. A relatively low-key, albeit Type-A, CEO, he has gone where few in aviation history have ever walked. Air fares today on most major routes in Australia are to be had for about a fifth of the price before he came along. Communities which despaired of ever convincing Australia's pre-2000 high cost airline duopoly to fly there, today have multiple jet services. And, to a very large extent, that is due to the vision and energy of one man, along with his willing and highly committed team. Virgin Blue would never have become a viable airline force without his passion, his obsessiveness and even pedanticism – to use his own description of himself.
Rob Fyfe
Rob Fyfe brought to Air New Zealand a change of style which drastically reshaped the mentality of the airline, engaging the workforce and its travelling public. Under his leadership the airline took on vital roles in community support during domestic tragedies over the past two years. He led from the front at all times – including the globally renowned marketing product designed to illustrate the airline's all-in offering. He has shown leadership in social media marketing and many other finer touches, including changing the way airlines do inflight safety announcements, encouraging passengers to pay attention to safety messages. Rob is the first to take his shirt off and join in.
CW Lee
Since CW Lee became CEO of Incheon International Airport Corp in 2008, the airport every year has been voted by Airports Council International as the world's best. Under his leadership the airport has been highly profitable while maintaining a high level of service at very low cost to airlines, and offering one of the world's best retail operations. After supervising the introduction of Phase 2 of the airport's now 44 million passenger capacity with a new runway and terminal expansions, CW Lee has prepared the financial and operational groundwork for Phase 3, which will see the airport capable of handling 62 million passengers annually and 5.8 million tonnes of cargo. Mr Lee has also diversified the company into consulting services for other airports, including taking a 10% holding in Vladivostok's Khabarovsk Airport.

The glass program at Illinois State University offers BA, BFA and MFA degrees.
The undergraduate program of study in the 3-D area, with a concentration in Glass, involves committing a large block of time that will be devoted to the development of a clear personal "vision", a sense of intention, and a basic "facility" in a wide range of material manipulation techniques. The Glass area stresses excellence in the individual strengths of young "Artists", "Designers", and "Craftspeople".
We, as a rule, encourage the old adage of learning by doing, and more often than not, learning experientially through (what could be categorized as) failure! The main "philosophical thrust" of the undergraduate area of study can be said to be "never under estimate the value of editing!" The students are challenged to be "prolific" in their "experiments".....and must learn to be their own "harshest critics"
Since Glass is a component of the 3-D area, faculty from a myriad of disciplines invariably serve on the graduate review committees across the board. It should be noted that there are no walls between disciplines within the 3 -D areas, and that there is total and complete movement and mobility between studios.
The Masters of Fine Arts (MFA) Degree is structured as a 60 credit hour program that demands a commitment of minimally 2 1/2 years to complete. There may be a certain amount of flexibility to this, as the amount of work needed for the completion of the program will depend entirely on the students rate of progress.
At least 36 semester hours must be taken in the School of Art, of these, at least 24 must be at the 400 level. At least 24 semester hours must be in the student's studio major area, and of these at least 18 must be at the 400 level.
At least 12 semester hours are required in Art History. (Options exist in scheduling in the related areas of Esthetics, Philosophy, Anthropology, and the Graduate MFA Seminar.) Also required are at least 3 hours of Graduate Seminar and 6 hours of 496, MFA Exhibition and Supportive Statement. 496 involves a comprehensive exhibition of studio work, an exhibition related thesis, and a comprehensive oral review.
Financial Aid is available for qualified applicants in the form of graduate assistantships and full tuition waivers. These assistantships currently pay a $850 per month stipend for approximately 20 hours per week of teaching and technical support within the school.
To enter the M.F.A. program the applicant must meet the minimum requirements of the Graduate School (Bachelors degree from an accredited college or university, while having maintained a minimum of a 2.6 grade point average for the last 60 hours of undergraduate study.) In addition, the applicant must submit 3 letters of recommendation, an example of scholarly writing, and a portfolio of 20 images for review.

If $4$ is one solution of quadratic equation $x^2 + 3x +k = 10$ What is the other solution? I know how to solve a quadratic equation but how do I solve this ? Answer is $-7$
Mathematics Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for people studying math at any level and professionals in related fields. It's 100% free, no registration required.
Sign up
Sign up
Here's how it works:
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
If the solutions of $x^2+ax+b=0$ are $x=c$ and $x=d$, then $x^2+ax+b$ factors as $$x^2+ax+b=(x-c)(x-d)$$ Multiplying out the right side you get $$x^2+ax+b=x^2-(c+d)x+cd$$ so that tells you $$a=-(c+d),\qquad b=cd$$ Now in your situation you know $a$ and you know one of the roots, $c$; can you work out $d$ from the above?
We don't ned to find $k$. The sum of the solutions is $-3$. If one solution is $4$, the other must be $-7$.
Remark: If $ax^2+bx+c=0$ is a quadratic equation, then the sum of the roots is $-\frac{b}{a}$, and the product of the roots is $\frac{c}{a}$. These are important and often-used results.
Hint: You should use the solution you are given to determine $k$, then solve the resulting equation.

Umar Mita x GUMBALL
One of those days a couple of months back, we were completely blown away by a young Malaysian photographer. Thanks to The New Forward, we got to learn of Umar Mita and his breathtaking Malaysian landscape photography. We went ape shit, and upon visiting his site, we discovered that not only was he a brilliant photographer, Umar was also an excellent videographer too.
So what did we do? We contacted him with the idea of sending him to Urbanscapes to shoot us a video without a brief – we would give Umar free reign to shoot however, whomever and whatever he wanted at Urbanscapes. He was a little hesitant at first as he has never shot in a scenario like that before but that thought made this little project even more exciting. We just couldn't wait to see what he would come up with and it's finally here.
Watch it and judge for yourself how it turned out. Organizers take note! You will definitely want Umar on board for your future events. This one's got a very successful career ahead of him.

Sunday, June 22, 2014 was a big day for 450 or so performers, their families and friends, and those who wanted to see the inside of that graceful behemoth on the south side of downtown Kansas City. For Future Stages Festival, the Muriel Kauffman Theatre, Helzberg Hall and a temporary stage set up on the south side of the panoramic lobby were kept busy from noon to 5:00 PM by groups in thirty minute segments from all over the region.
The schedulers of the Kauffman Center have developed an aggressive schedule; in addition to the three resident ensembles: the Kansas City Symphony, the Kansas City Lyric Opera, and the Kansas City Ballet, the center has been open to local chorales, orchestras, church-sponsored events, traveling productions, organ concerts on the Julia Irene Kauffman Casavant Organ, and one night stops by artist such as Tony Bennett, and John Legend: The All Of Me Tour, and the National Geographic series. Integrating community groups and events is an important part of creating a comfortable place for local residents, and not just a palace for the rich and famous. This event was advertised as free; open to all ages, and all ages were there. From the numbers of people taking selfies and posing for family pictures, it seemed obvious that many were in the facility for the first time. Hooray!
The atmosphere was set with food stands, a big outdoor stage and oversized kites greeting patrons on the approach to Kauffman's south side. Participants included (greatly abbreviated) Starlight youth, puppets, Irish dancers, youthful ballet, a jazz big band, dance ensembles, youth string orchestras and youth choirs. The overall quality level was surprisingly good.
The biggest value of the day is the empowering claim of 450 performers, "I've performed there." Not that the parents, grandparents, and neighbors of those youthful artists would miss an opportunity to humbly allude to last Sunday afternoon.
The Future Stages Festival was sponsored by dozens of community-minded business and individuals.

A: Exactly. Back in the days of kings, people would kiss the ring, and the king would decide all the rules and regulations and how to promulgate them. But the purpose of democracy is that you move away from being treated as subjects and become active citizens. That's what participatory democracy is all about. It's not about being a subject to a centralized, autocratic government, but it's about "we the people" being able to hold our government accountable. And also ensuring that we are creating a better government. My view is that citizens are co-creators of government, not just subjects of it.
Q: One example of turning citizens into real partners is your Apps for Democracy project. Can you talk a little about this?
A: That followed after I published all these data feeds related to government. I thought how do you really embark on a technology revolution in the public sector? And the best way to do it, in my view, is to actually engage the citizens. We basically said we're going to put out $50,000 -- a modest sum -- for a competition, out of which $30,000 went to run the competition and only $20,000 went to prizes. The highest prize was $2,000. I put a limit of 30 days on the competition, and the challenge was for citizens to create applications for citizens themselves and the public sector. To my delight, we ended up getting 47 fully functional applications in 30 days for $50,000. By our calculations, that would have cost us about $2.6 million and would have taken us two years.
Q: What kind of applications did contestants create?
A: There is one called iLive.at. This application allows you to put in your home address and based on that address, it lets you know crimes that happened in your neighborhood, the closest bank and things of interest near you. It lets you find the buses and trains and when they are coming. So it really takes all those data feeds and gives them to you in the context of your address.
A second application is for people who love bikes. It lets you know where the best bike routes are, where bikes are getting stolen, where you can buy cheap bikes, and it lets you create a community of bicyclists if you want to go on long rides.
A third application is called Point About, created specifically for the PDA. We are using it as one of the official inauguration apps because, using your iPhone and your BlackBerry, based on your GPS coordinates, it lets you know the closest Metro station and when the next train is coming or where the closest restaurants to you are. It takes those data feeds we have and geocodes them. People can look all these up on the Web at dps.dc.gov. That URL, by the way, is part of my vision of creating a digital public square.
Q: Did you face any obstacles moving away from the custom or enterprise software and tackling the notion that government is different or that the security has to be so much better?
A: Yes, but I think it's the 80/20 rule. I would agree with the critics who would say classified information can't be moved to the cloud or if you have very sensitive information, you need to deal with that differently. I totally agree with that.
Q: So public safety applications, for example, are a separate case with very legitimate concerns. But those concerns don't then have to extend right across all government.
A: Right, and that's my argument: The sensitive or classified data represents 20 percent of the public sector. But there are cost-saving possibilities for the 80 percent, where most of the information isn't highly sensitive. It's

Awarded New Investigator/Doctoral Dissertation Grant
High School Sports Injury Surveillance - Collecting Incidence and Exposure Data
FOA Number: CE05-021 - Grants for New Investigator Training Awards
Project Period: 8/30/05-8/29/06
Application/Grant Number: 1-R49-CE000674-01

The epidemiology of sports-related injury is changing. As the number of high school sports participants increases, so does the number and severity of injuries, yet the study of injuries in this population has been limited by the inability to calculate injury rates, compare findings across groups, or generalize findings from small study samples. This study proposes to reduce the morbidity, mortality, and disability among adolescent athletes caused by sports-related injuries by developing and implementing a permanent, internet-based high school sports-related injury surveillance system.
Researchers will develop and pilot test an internet-based high school sports related injury surveillance system in a nationally-representative sample of US high schools, from which national estimates can be calculated; implement the injury surveillance system for a pilot period of one academic year; and evaluate the system following the pilot period for completeness of reporting and quality of data. This project is expected to reduce the morbidity, mortality, and disability caused by high school sports-related injuries within 3 to 5 years by providing accurate national estimates of injury incidence, rates, and risk factors. This addresses CDC's mission to promote physical activity and to prevent injuries and also addresses several Healthy People 2010 injury prevention objectives.

After a short hiatus for Christmas and New Years Day, the Bakersfield Jazz Workshop returns to action this Wednesday, January 8, with Marlon and Friends, a vocal group featuring Bakersfield vocalist Marlon E. Mackey. As fans of the BJW know, each weekly workshop features a Beginning Jazz Class, a one hour set from a Featured Artist, and then a jam session. It was Mackey's appearance at one of those sessions last December that caught the attention of the BJW and led to his appearance this week.
In an exclusive interview this week, Mackey described himself as a life long music student. He grew up in a very musical family and has been arranging vocal groups for as long as he can remember. His first group was a trio with his sister and a cousin who billed themselves as MMK.
His musical roots include jazz and gospel, later flavored with fusion, rock, hip hop, blues, and much more. (You can hear Marlon's cover of Bill Wither's "Ain't No Sunshine" here.) He is particularly a fan of just about anything from the 1980s which should give a clue as to what fans can expect this week.
More recently, Mackey has been working with a band called "The Lift" and several musicians from the Bakersfield area. He is really looking forward to his first appearance as the Featured Artist at the BJW, telling this reporter that he is "...super pumped up."
This should be a very entertaining evening. For those unfamiliar with the BJW, it is held every Wednesday evening in the main dining room of Le Corusse Rouge on White Lane in Bakersfield. The Beginning Jazz Class runs from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., immediately followed by the Featured Artist. If you are a musician and would like to practice your jazz chops, then be sure to sign up for the jam session afterward.
There is no cover charge, drink minimum, nor an age limit to attend the BJW's weekly event. If you haven't been there before, then you have been missing out on one of the true gems of the local music scene, particularly if you are a fan of jazz.

BRUNSWICK — Education today is different from when Gov. Ted Strickland grew up in Southern Ohio, where he went to a one-room school that had no running water and one teacher for four classes.
On a visit to Brunswick High School on Friday, two students showed the governor an interactive Web site they designed for the school system.
"We're a long way from that one-room school. Nobody ever imagined the possibility of a computer when I was in the first, second, fourth grade,†Strickland later told a crowd in the school's auditorium. "And now I've got a young man who can walk out and show me how to use a Web page and have a depth of knowledge that I do not have. I am so proud of these young people who are going to be able to do things that I cannot do.â€

It's no coincidence that Strickland spoke at Brunswick High School when he visited the city on Friday. He has plans in the works for the state's schools. After touring some of the high school's facilities, Strickland gave a speech that outlined what he foresees for education in Ohio.
"Education has exploded. There is so much more to learn. So much more to master in order to be able to really compete in our economy today,†he said. "And that's why I believe there's nothing we can do that's more important to the future of our state and our nation than making sure we are providing our young people with a high-quality education, beginning with the early years in life.
In his State of the State address last month, Strickland unveiled a plan for what he sees as the future of education. He proposes the state add 20 additional education days to each school year over 10 years and expand kindergarten from a half to a full day.
He also suggested longer teacher training, with educators undergoing a four-year residency program before receiving their teaching license.
"I honor teachers. I respect the profession. I think teachers — just like pilots and doctors — have lives in their hands. And we want to stress teacher quality,†Strickland said.
Just like a doctor completes a medical residency after completing medical school, he said teachers would spend four years being "mentored by an experienced teacher†before they take on full teaching responsibilities.
Strickland also proposed all schools undergo annual performance audits.
And the students' performance would be gauged regularly, too. All students statewide would take an "end of course†exam, complete a service learning project, submit a senior project, and take the ACT exam at no charge before they graduate.
He suggested that instead of taking the current Ohio Graduation Test, the new system of measurements "would give us a more complete and more accurate picture of what our students are learning.â€
But to address the changes, the governor said a new system of funding would have to be in place. Strickland said as the plan is implemented over the eight years, the state would increase its share of funding up to 59 percent.
Strickland said the changes might create an additional load on state and local governments, but he said now is the best time to go through with them.
"We are in the midst of an economic storm. There may be a temptation to pull back from education and say, 'Why would we move forward now, why would we try to do something new now,' †Strickland said. "This recession will come to an end. And when it does, the states who have continued to provide a high-quality education, those are the states that will be able to take part in that recovery and move forward.â€
Kacik may be reached at 330-721-4049 or email@example.com.

In addition, he was employed for 45 years with the Electro-Motive division of General Motors, most recently as chief engineer. During his career, he was credited with the development of the diesel locomotive, earning him the reputation as the "father of the modern diesel locomotive."
Fres-co, headquartered in Telford, Pennsylvania, is the leading system supplier to the coffee industry supplying packaging machines, packaging material, technology and innovation. Fres-co has contributed most of the coffee packaging innovations for the last 25 years including the degassing valve, easy open and tin-tie reclosure. Fres-co operates two manufacturing plants in the U.S.
"I am proud to be working with a Company that has a solid family tradition of providing high quality products as well as unparalleled customer service to the foodservice industry for more than 100 years," said Bourret. "Reading a newspaper with a wonderful cup of coffee is also a tradition that spans generations."
In addition, Julian Lavers was hired as the vice president of national accounts and distributor sales. With a total of 31 years of coffee experience and as a previous employee of Mother Parker Tea & Coffee, Lavers' first major charge is to take his sales and distribution expertise to fully extend Boyd Coffee Company's reach to the east coast.
"Boyd Coffee Company is dedicated to their products and service. They are aware of what the term quality means and I'm looking forward to working with a company that stands behind everything they do, " said Lavers.
Johnson's gift was the centerpiece of a public/private partnership between the Philip L. Johnson Foundation Trust, City of Everett, and CSR Associated, which donated 64 acres of property to convert a used gravel pit into the ball fields.
Johnson founded Millstone Coffee in 1981, which was started with the idea of selling high quality, freshly roasted, whole bean coffee in bulk dispensing units in grocery stores. He led the company until 1995. In 1995, the company was sold to Procter & Gamble.
Johnson has remained with the coffee industry with Cascade Coffee, which he formed to encompass the Everett roasting plant and the office coffee service division, which were not part of the sale to Proctor & Gamble.

Review Details
Wavy Virgin Weave
- Product Review (submitted on March 13, 2004):
- I love this hair because it is very natural looking unlike other virgin hair that I have tried. This hair blends really good with your natural hair. It's so natural looking that many people think its all my hair! I love it! The ends are thin so you will need to buy longer than you really need but after the thin ends are cut you will love it.

In the NHL today, a player will stay on ice an average of 30 to 40 seconds at a time before the lines are changed. During 3 minutes of continual play, that means that the top line forwards could have 2 or more shifts depending on the flow of the game. Imagine what would happen if your skate lost an edge and had to be walked back to the locker-room for repair. Assuming that the equipment manager could get it finished within five minutes, you may have lost several shifts and the game may be drastically changed because of it. Thankfully, the minds at Edge Again have come up with a solution.
The videos on their website show that a skate blade can be sharpened and ready in just a few swipes. The player never even takes the skate off because of the rechargeable hand-held device. During the playoff's, Edge Again was seen in use on the Tampa Bay Lightning bench, and several NHL teams are already using them. The time saved is invaluable, and a player who loses an edge can be ready for their next shift.
The sharpening mechanism (or tusq) is self adjusting and only addresses the four sides that comprise the skate edges. In other words, they do not affect the skate hollow and can thus be used on any shape. I was assured by a company representative that even the flat-bottom V is able to be sharpened with Edge Again.
There are a number of other sharpening options on the market, but none seem to posess the speed and precision of this unit. I was surprised to learn that there is a manual version available that uses the same tusqs and costs quite a bit less than the motorized unit. I asked a company representative why they released this version. "To make a more affordable unit," was the simple answer. The people at Edge Again are hockey players and hockey parents. I was told a story that a young man traveled an hour and a half to practice in his league, and when he got there he lost an edge. He had to sit out for the rest of practice because there was no pro-shop nearby. The manual version of this product can keep kids just like that on the ice.
There is a passion within the company, which was evident with former NHL player Chris Kontos's contributions and leadership in this product's development. As current NHL players retire who are familliar with the speed and technology of the game, more and more amazing gear continues to pop up. Edge Again is a perfect example of people who know and love the game creating a solution to a difficult problem. If you can't skate, you can't play. Edge Again can put the majority of skaters back on the ice (shy of someone actually losing a blade, which happens occasionally).
It will be no surprise if this product becomes as common as composite sticks, and much more quickly. No one wants a first line defenseman or forward losing 3 shifts due to skate trauma. The company is also working on a Goalie version. This makes great sense, as goalies continually press their skates against the goal posts, which can cause nicks and dull spots making it difficult to to move around.
Perani's Hockey World is one store that carries the Edge Again, and they can be visited at www.peranis.com. Many thanks to Scott and the helpful staff at Edge Again. Visit their site for more insite and demonstrations of their product at www.edgeagain.com.

Every time I want to completely give up on ESPN and their dwindling hockey coverage, they do something that pulls be back in: like show an Alex Ovechkin goal as an actual top highlight or air a sick breakaway by Stan Galiev even though he's in the minor leagues.
Over the weekend, SportsCenter straight up killed it again when they did the highlights of the Los Angeles Kings/Montreal Canadiens game with NHL '94 graphics and sound. This is one of the coolest things I've ever seen the channel do.

Social media is changing the world. Every sector sees the potential for using technology from education to business yet health care is still lagging behind. In a profession where pagers are commonplace I ask what is holding us back? Isnt it our professional obligation to be up to date - doesnt that include technology as the times change? This is how most patients now access information-- why dont more people control their digital shadow in medicine as they likely have one whether they want it or not!...

Based on personal experience, a portfolio manager tells you how to handle identity theft.
With April 15th just around the corner, learn from those who, in the past, have found loopholes in the tax code.
"As a result, financial and taxpayer information remain unnecessarily vulnerable to insider threats and at increased risk of unauthorized disclosure, modification, or destruction," today's GAO report says.
"If someone called and indicated that they did not have a computer or broadband and they did not use a preparer, they were advised that they were not mandated to comply." Right. Now, about that whole "not using the phone" thing...
"False issuance of exclusive value-added tax invoices to defraud export tax refunds or to offset taxes" won't get you seated in the chair, either.
Work out a debt settlement on your credit card? While you may be off the hook with Visa or Mastercard, your friendly, neighborhood IRS auditor sees the amount forgiven as taxable income.
As they say, prison is where criminals go to improve their skills.
If Washington can't make ends meet, it's only natural to go after its citizenry, right?

- No single ignition source of the fire was conclusively identified.
- The CM contained many classes of combustible material in areas contiguous to possible ignition sources.
- The test conditions were extremely hazardous.
- Because of internal pressure, the CM inner hatch could not be opened before rupture of the CM.
- Deficiencies existed in CM design, workmanship and quality control. These deficiencies created an unnecessarily hazardous condition and their continuation would imperil future Apollo Operations.
- Every effort must be made to ensure the maximum clarification and understanding of the responsibilities of all organizations in the program, the objective being a fully coordinated and efficient program.
Each member concurred in each of the findings, determinations, and recommendations concerning the January 27 spacecraft fire that took the lives of three astronauts.
During the review the Board had adhered to the principle that reliability of the CM and the entire system involved in its operation was a requirement common to both safety and mission success. Once the CM had left the earth's environment the occupants were totally dependent on it for their safety. It followed that protection from fire as a hazard required much more than quick egress. Egress was useful only during test periods on earth when the CM was being readied for its mission and not during the mission itself. The risk of fire had to be faced, but that risk was only one factor pertaining to CM reliability that must receive adequate consideration. Design features and operating procedures intended to reduce the fire risk must not introduce other serious risks to mission success and safety.
The House Committee on Science and Astronautics' Subcommittee on NASA Oversight held hearings on the Review Board report April 10-12, 17, and 21 and May 10. Senate Committee on Aeronautical and Space Sciences hearings were held April 11, 13,and 17 and May 4 and 9.
Findings, determinations, and recommendations of the Apollo 204 Review Board were:
- A momentary power failure occurred at 6:30:55 p.m. EST (23:30:55 GMT).
- Evidence of several arcs was found in the postfire investigation.
- No single ignition source of the fire was conclusively identified.
The most probable initiator was an electrical arc in the sector between the -Y and +Z spacecraft axes. The exact location best fitting the total available information was near the floor in the lower forward section of the left-hand equipment bay where environmental control system instrumentation power wiring led into the area between the environmental control unit and the oxygen panel. No evidence was discovered that suggested sabotage.
- The CM contained many classes of combustible material in areas contiguous to possible ignition sources.
- The test was conducted with a 100-percent oxygen atmosphere at 11.5 newtons per sq cm (16.7 psia).
The test conditions were extremely hazardous.
The amount and location of combustible materials in the CM must be severely restricted and controlled.
- The rapid spread of fire increased pressure and temperature, rupturing the CM and creating a toxic atmosphere. "Death of the crew was from asphyxia due to inhalation of toxic gases due to fire. A contributory cause of death was thermal burns."
- Non-uniform distribution of carboxyhemoglobin was found by autopsy.
Autopsy data led to the medical opinion that unconsciousness occurred rapidly and that death followed soon thereafter.
Because of internal pressure, the CM inner hatch could not be opened before rupture of the CM.
The crew was never capable of effecting emergency egress because of the pressurization before the rupture and their loss of consciousness soon after rupture.
The time required for egress of the crew should be reduced and the operations necessary for egress be simplified.
The organizations responsible for planning, conducting, and safety of this test failed to identify it as being hazardous. Contingency preparations to permit escape or rescue of the crew from an internal CM fire were not made.
- No procedures for this kind of emergency had been established either for the crew or for the spacecraft pad work team.
- The emergency equipment in the White Room and on the spacecraft work levels was not designed for the smoke condition resulting from a fire of this nature.
- Emergency fire, rescue, and medical teams were not in attendance.
- Both the spacecraft work levels and the umbilical tower access arm contained features such as steps, sliding doors, and sharp turns in the egress paths which hindered emergency operations.
Adequate safety precautions were neither established nor observed for this test.
- Management should continually monitor the safety of all test operations and ensure the adequacy of emergency procedures.
- All emergency equipment (breathing apparatus, protective clothing, deluge systems, access arm, etc.) should be reviewed for adequacy.
- Personnel training and practice for emergency procedures should be given regularly and reviewed before a hazardous operation.
- Service structures and umbilical towers should be modified to facilitate emergency operations.
Frequent interruptions and failures had been experienced in the overall communication system during the operations preceding the accident.
The overall communication system was unsatisfactory.
- The ground communication system should be improved to ensure reliable communications among all test elements as. soon as possible and before the next manned flight.
- A detailed design review should be conducted on the entire spacecraft communication system.
- Revisions in the Operational Checkout Procedure for the test were issued at 5:30 p.m. EST January 26, 1967 (209 pages), and 10:00 a.m. EST January 27, 1967 (4 pages).
- Differences existed between the ground test procedures and the inflight checklists.
Neither the revision nor the differences contributed to the accident. The late issuance of the revision, however, prevented test personnel from becoming adequately familiar with the test procedure before use.
- Test procedures and pilot's checklists that represent the actual CM configuration should be published in final form and reviewed early enough to permit adequate preparation and participation of all test organizations.
- Timely distribution of test procedures and major changes should be made a constraint to the beginning of any test.
The fire in CM 012 was subsequently simulated closely by a test fire in a full-scale mockup.
Full-scale mockup fire tests could be used to give a realistic appraisal of fire risks in flight-configured spacecraft.
Full-scale mockups in flight configuration should be tested to determine the risk of fire.
The CM environmental control system design provided a pure oxygen atmosphere.
This atmosphere presented severe fire hazards if the mount and location of combustibles in the CM were not restricted and controlled.
- The fire safety of the reconfigured CM should be established by full-scale mockup tests.
- Studies of the use of a diluent gas should be continued, with particular reference to assessing the problems of gas detection and control and the risk of additional operations that would be required in the use of a two-gas atmosphere.
Deficiencies existed in CM design, workmanship and quality control, such as:
- Components of the environmental control system installed in CM 012 had a history of many removals and of technical difficulties, including regulator failures, line failures, and environmental control unit failures. The design and installation features of the environmental control unit made removal or repair difficult.
- Coolant leakage at solder joints had been a chronic problem.
- The coolant was both corrosive and combustible.
- Deficiencies in design, manufacture, installation, rework, and quality control existed in the electrical wiring.
- No vibration test was made of a complete flight-configured spacecraft.
- Spacecraft design and operating procedures required the disconnecting of electrical connections while powered.
- No design features for fire protection were incorporated.
These deficiencies created an unnecessarily hazardous condition and their continuation would imperil any future Apollo Operations.
- All elements, components, and assemblies of the environmental control system should be reviewed in depth to ensure its functional and structural integrity and to minimize its contribution to fire risk.
- The design of soldered joints in the plumbing should be modified to increase integrity or the joints should be replaced with a more structurally reliable configuration.
- Deleterious effects of coolant leakage and spillage should be eliminated.
- Specifications should be reviewed; three-dimensional jigs should be used in manufacture of wire bundles; and rigid inspection at all stages of wiring design, manufacture, and installation should be enforced.
- Flight-configured spacecraft should be vibrationtested.
- The necessity for electrical connections or disconnections with power on within the crew compartment should be eliminated.
- The most effective means of controlling and extinguishing a spacecraft fire should be investigated. Auxiliary breathing oxygen and crew protection from smoke and toxic fumes should be provided.
An examination of operating practices showed the following examples of problem areas:
- The number of open items at the time of shipment of the CM 012 was not known. There were 113 significant engineering orders not accomplished at the time CM 012 was delivered to NASA; 623 engineering orders were released subsequent to delivery. Of these, 22 were recent releases that were not recorded in configuration records at the time of the accident.
- Established requirements were not followed with regard to the pretest constraints list. The list was not completed and signed by designated contractor and NASA personnel before the test, even though oral agreement to proceed was reached.
- Formulation of and changes in prelaunch test requirements for the Apollo spacecraft program were responsive to changing conditions.
- Noncertified equipment items were installed in the CM at time of test.
- Discrepancies existed between NAA and NASA MSC specifications regarding inclusion and positioning of flammable materials.
- The test specification was released August 1966 and was not updated to include accumulated changes from release date to the January 27 test date.
Problems of program management and relations between Centers and with the contractor had led to some insufficient responses to changing program requirements.
Every effort must be made to ensure the maximum clarification and understanding of the responsibilities of all organizations in the program, the objective being a fully coordinated and efficient program.

United States
5th Infantry Division
|2 October 1939
|Unit Code
Nickname: Red Diamond Division.
Slogan: We will.
Shoulder patch: A red diamond.
It is the diamond that cut into the line of the Vosges in august 1918, and by the capture of Frapelle was the only indentation suffered by the Germans in their southern sectors in three years of trench warfare that helped shear off the salient of St. Mihiel; and that after slowly grinding the Boche cut of the Bois des Rappes, became the point of an arrow that pierced the Meuse and thereby gave the division its name.
Combat Chronicle
The 5th Infantry Division landed on Utah Beach, 9 July 1944 and 4 days later took up defensive positions in the vicinity of Caumont. Launching a successful attack at Vidouville 26 July, the Division drove on southeast of St. Lo, attacked and captured Angers, 9-10 August, pushed across the Seine at Fontainebleau, 23 August, and across the Marne to seize Reims, 30 August, and positions east of Verdun. The Division then prepared for the assault on Metz. In midSeptember a bridgehead was established and secured across the Moselle, south of Metz, in the face of very heavy opposition. First attempts to take the fortress failed, 16 September-16 October 1944, and the Division withdrew, returning to the assault on 9. November. Metz was reduced after a heavy, 10-day battle. The Division crossed the German border, 4 December, captured Lauterbach on the 5th, and elements reached the west bank of the Saar, 6 December, before the Division moved to assembly areas. On the 16th of December the Germans launched their winter offensive, and on the 18th the 5th was thrown in against the southern flank of the Bulge, helping to reduce it by the end of January 1945. In February and March, the Division drove across and northeast of the Sauer, cracked through the Siegfried Line, reached and crossed the Rhine, 22 March, and continued on to Frankfurt-am-Main, clearing and policing the town and its environs, 27-29 March. In April the Division took part in clearing the Ruhr Pocket and then drove across the Czechoslovak border, 1 May, reaching Volary and Vimpeck as the war in Europe ended.

Can Natural Gas Start a New Trend?
Rod David
A second consecutive higher close for natural gas would confirm a rally leg underway.
The following are the latest daily summaries of my ongoing intraday coverage, providing context to interpret price action. Any prices listed are for a contract's current "front month." Their direction tends to correlate with any ETFs listed for each.
Today's Highlight:
The natural gas rally effort started the week with a determined attitude. A second consecutive higher close Tuesday is all but mandatory to the effort, and to avoid resuming the decline.
Dollar Basket
Sep Contract DX; (NYSEARCA:UUP), (NYSEARCA:UDN)
Monday's narrowly ranging inside day serves the same purpose as Wednesday's similar setup, which is to attract the next trending attempt back to and through it in the opposite direction. Probing a fresh low and reacting up would essentially signal a new upleg underway.
Sep Contract EC; (NYSEARCA:FXE)
Monday's narrowly ranging inside day serves the same purpose as Wednesday's similar setup, which is to attract the next trending attempt back to and through it in the opposite direction. Probing a fresh high and reacting down would essentially signal a new downleg underway.
Oct Contract GC; (NYSEARCA:GLD)
Probing a fresh high overnight up to 1382.40 was unable to extend beyond the leg's 1375.00 target, as the balance of the session probed back under it down to 1362.20.
Sep Contract SI; (NYSEARCA:SLV)
Monday's narrow ranging continued consolidating the recent surge, with room for extending further intraday just slightly higher at 24.00.
30-year Treasury
Sep Contract US; (NYSEARCA:TLT)
Another fresh low Monday at 130-05 suggests that the decline's 131-06 target is extending, next targeting 129-10 or 128-14.
Crude Oil
Sep Contract CL; (NYSEARCA:USO)
[Rolling coverage forward from Sep to Oct, trading at a $.25 discount]
Already having tested 106.25 support, the rally could not afford another entire day's delay to resuming. But 106.25 was tested anyway throughout the day, which all but requires Tuesday's open to be in rally mode if its 110.50 target remained intact.
Natural Gas
Sep Contract NG; (NYSEARCA:UNG), (NYSEARCA:UNL)
Monday's gap up didn't extend higher intraday past 3.50, but did maintain its recovery above prior highs to give last week's 3.36 buy signal another chance at launching a new rally leg. At least 3.57 is currently targeted, with potential to 3.70.

What is Diabetes?
Type 1 Diabetes
Type 2 Diabetes
Gestational Diabetes Mellitus
The most common form of diabetes is type 2 diabetes. About 90 to 95 percent of people with diabetes have type 2. This form of diabetes is most often associated with older age, obesity, family history of diabetes, previous history of gestational diabetes, physical inactivity and certain ethnicities. About 80 percent of people with type 2 diabetes are overweight. Type 2 diabetes is increasingly being diagnosed in children and adolescents, especially among African American, Mexican American and Pacific Islander youth.
When type 2 diabetes is diagnosed, the pancreas is usually producing enough insulin, but for unknown reasons the body cannot use the insulin effectively, a condition called insulin resistance. After several years, insulin production decreases. The symptoms of type 2 diabetes develop gradually. Their onset is not as sudden as in type 1 diabetes.
Symptoms of type 2 diabetes may include fatigue, frequent urination, increased thirst and hunger, weight loss, blurred vision, and slow healing of wounds or sores. Some people have no symptoms.
Ohio Diabetes Prevention and Control Program (ODPCP) in partnership with the Ohio Department of Aging and the Office on Minority Health put self-management into practice at the state and local level by effectively utilizing Stanford University's evidence-based Chronic Disease Self Management (CDSMP) and Diabetes Self-Management (DSMP) Programs, known in Ohio as Healthy-U.

RFQ for Eastland Mall to be issued Friday
It's unclear as to what type of response the city will get to the RFQ. But when the city issued so-called requests for expressions of interest in October, the idea of doing something with Eastland Mall was met with little interest.

Napa was devastated by a 6.1 earthquake last Sunday, August 24. Historic buildings and many wineries suffered severe damage, more than 200 people were injured, fires broke out an highways buckled. Things are slow getting back to normal in the Northern California wine country where the damage is estimated in the high millions or even a billion dollars. Today this Examiner received a touching email from the Trefethen family, makers of some mighty fine wines of which the Diva enjoys often.
The family and team wrote, "The earthquake which hit the Napa Valley on Sunday, August 24th has left us feeling a little shaky, but also very lucky: lucky that none of our employees were hurt and we were able to save virtually all of the wine. As Hailey commented, "those barrels are dang tough!" Although our historic building suffered some major damage and is currently closed, our online store is open and we hope you are thirsty.
A team of top engineers and historical building architects are working hard on a plan to restore our cherished building. We are hopeful her grand doors will swing open again to welcome guests. Get a bird's eye view of the earthquake damage to our historic building from this touching aerial video by Evan K.(watch it now).
Over the last few days there have been moments when we wondered how much more cleaning up we could face, but all the support and outreach we have received from friends all over the world keeps us going. With every phone call, e-mail and Facebook post, the smile returns to our faces, the warmth to our hearts and the energy to our arms and legs. Many, many thanks to all of you for your concern and good wishes. You have sustained us in a challenging time.
We hope to re-open a tasting room soon, in a temporary structure, and will invite you to visit and see vintage 2014 in the making.
Salude, Janet Trefethen for the entire Trefethen family and team.

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip -- An Israeli helicopter fired into the Gaza Strip on Saturday, killing a member of a militant squad that was clashing with Israeli forces in one of the most serious breaches of a 4-month-old cease-fire, Palestinian officials said.
The Israeli military said the air attack was aimed at militants planting a bomb along the border fence. It denied sending ground forces into the coastal territory.
But Palestinian officials who monitor the border said fighting erupted before dawn when plainclothes Israeli special forces slipped across the fence and were discovered by a squad of fighters from two small militant groups that refuse to honor the Nov. 26 truce.
The helicopter attack, apparently aimed at covering the special forces' retreat, was part of a more aggressive Israeli policy that itself is straining the cease-fire.
Palestinian witnesses who described Saturday's 90-minute battle said the Israeli helicopter fired at least four missiles between the border fence and the Jabaliya refugee camp in the northern Gaza Strip, wounding three armed Palestinians.
One of them, Fuad Maruf, 22, of the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine, was killed.
That group and Islamic Jihad, operating together, said they had been firing rocket-propelled grenades and automatic weapons at the Israeli special forces and setting off explosives along the fence.

A blue lobster was saved from taking its rightful place in the food chain when a teen girl and her father discovered it while hauling lobster traps. Jay LaPlante was working with Miss Meghan's Lobster Catch company on Saturday. His 14-year-old daughter Meghan was helping him haul traps when she noticed the bright blue lobster among the other less-colorful crustaceans, reported USA Today. Yes, the lobster company is named for Meghan LaPlante herself.
Back in 2012, the younger LaPlante made headlines when she started her own lobster company. At the time, WCSH reported, "Under her student license Meghan can have 50-traps out a time. Every couple of days she heads out with her dad Jay and brother Zack to haul them in." As a 12-year-old girl, LaPlante planned to use the money earned from Miss Meghan's Lobster Catch company for her college fund, clothes and other "stuff."
Now her recent haul has her making headlines again.
According to oceanographers at Lobster Institute at the University of Maine in Orono, the blue lobster is such a rarity that only one in two million lobsters shares its brilliant blue color. Thanks to a genetic defect the blue lobster has excess amounts of a particular protein. It is the overproduction of this protein that lends the rare creature its special color.
By catching the blue lobster and offering it to a museum for display the teen and her father rescued the rare creature from becoming dinner for some less discriminating diners. When it comes to their place on the food chain, lobsters have more to worry about than just becoming a meal for a hungry human. Some fish eat lobsters. So do other lobsters.
Thanks to Meghan LaPlante, this blue lobster will live out the rest of its natural life at Maine State Aquarium in West Boothbay Harbor, Maine, reported New York Daily News. There it will be able to enjoy the company of three other blue lobsters and an orange lobster that are already in residence.

The Truth Behind The Miraculous "Mutual Fund Mondays" Melt Up
- Printer-friendly version
- Feb 8, 2011 5:36 PM
- 48
Now you tell me!
Lately to me all days look the same (Dow up 7 days in a row) as yahoo finance proudly proclaims !! One more feather in their caps.
screw monday! disney is parabolic!
.... "One more feather "
Ancient Chinese fiat fixed market proverb
"Todays feather in the cap, is tomorrows bear stool with cap and feather included"... Good luck round eye.
Fiday? That's my buy day?
keep FREE THINKING ALIVE
ps OBAMA URGED CONGRESS TO RENEW THE PATIOT ACT THEY VOTE 630 EST. TONIGHT
I wonder how all the squeeky wheels on the far left from a few years ago feel now that their messiah is endorsing Bush's Patriot Act. What more is necessary to shake them from their securely blinded partisan slumber?
Here is The Nation on it (lib)
It was Democrats, not Republicans, that defeated the Patriot Act.
I thought he renewed it once already...
Low volume days are easily manipulated, hence the "meltup". So, when "IT" finally hits, it will probably be on a Tuesday?
The whole thing (Dow) is embarassing.
....maybe it just snowed every Monday in 2010.
It's actually even more extreme - look at the move between Friday close of the futures and Sunday night open. Unless the world explodes over the weekend, S&P will be 4pt or more higher. It's been so blatant - a small trade out of the gate in Sydney. I reckon at least half of the rise is this out of hours gap up.
Then when you see the returns the pension funds need to match up with the assumptions on solvency, you realize they need to do everything they can.
...thanx for the link. The pension funds and their gimmick accounting hide some ugly circumstances. They know 8% is a mega risk bet, but they gotta go for it now. The pension funds are a very large piece in the ponzi puzzle.
In casino parlance this is known as chasing.
"if Madoff's investors knew his "fund" was a pyramid scheme, would they actually pull their capital?"
Of course not! Everybody believes there is a greater fool until the music stops.
That's the most important take-away for me in the article.
As usual, we leave with the question: if Madoff's investors knew his "fund" was a pyramid scheme, would they actually pull their capital?
The answer is the one for many questions that many analysts and bulls are not asking. It's the question that scares the crap outta these guys because they know it's their money we're talking about!
In trying to answer that final and morally challenging question posed at the end of this post...I'll let it be tacked by someone with a greater gift for clarification than I:
An excerpt from: Happy as a Hangman by Chris Hedges
Innocence, as defined by law, makes us complicit with the crimes of the state. To do nothing, to be judged by the state as an innocent, is to be guilty. It is to sanction, through passivity and obedience, the array of crimes carried out by the state.
To be innocent in America means we passively permit offshore penal colonies where we torture human beings, some of whom are children. To be innocent in America is to acquiesce to the relentless corporate destruction of the ecosystem that sustains the human species. To be innocent in America is to permit the continued theft of hundreds of billions of dollars from the state by Wall Street swindlers and speculators. To be innocent in America is to stand by as insurance and pharmaceutical companies, in the name of profit, condemn ill people, including children, to die. To be innocent in America is refusing to resist wars in Iraq and Afghanistan that are not only illegal under international law but responsible for the murder of hundreds of thousands of people. This is the odd age we live in. Innocence is complicity.
The steady impoverishment and misery inflicted by the corporate state on the working class and increasingly the middle class has a terrible logic. It consolidates corporate centers of power. It weakens us morally and politically. The fraud and violence committed by the corporate state become secondary as we scramble to feed our families, find a job and pay our bills and mortgages. Those who cling to insecure, poorly paid jobs and who struggle with crippling credit card debt, those who are mired in long-term unemployment and who know that huge medical bills would bankrupt them, those who owe more on their houses than they are worth and who fear the future, become frightened and timid. They seek only to survive. They accept the pathetic scraps tossed to them by the corporate elite. The internal and external corporate abuse accelerates as we become every day more pliant.
Yo can read the full article here: (it's well worth it)
Buy Russell 2k on leverage before the weekend, sell it Tuesday morning, it's like free money. It will keep working until it doesn't.
Apple may see some wild moves downside very quickly....we will se in 2 days...::
I have a hard time believing PPT will allow the darling of ponzi darlings to suffer too much downside. Like any.
Tense, it's only a matter of time... AAPL will have its day. When it does, look the F out below as everyone (Hedge and Mutual alike) and their mother owns it.
The deepest thought we can muster is how Apple will do?
How disappointing.
"Is the entire stock market nothing than one Fed liquidity Fed, HFT-whisper volume levitating scam? Is it all really just for show, and the fewer the participants, the more money those who actually brave the ponzi make?"
yes, girlfriend, yes.
check's in the mail, i won't come in your (whatever), and free-markets are free.
They are delighted to have cleared out all but HFT so they can do what they want... and as long as the market continues to go up nothing will be done about rapid pulling of orders, which is illegal but they don't care if market is rising.
So as long as the computers push it higher they will get away with, they know if they try to pull it down they will not be allowed and the authorities will be down on them, so they willingly keep to the 'rules' of the con
As usual, we leave with the question: if Madoff's investors knew his "fund" was a pyramid scheme, would they actually pull their capital?
Generally people want to be associated with the exclusive money, especially if it appears to be doing well. Fretting over whether or not it's a scam is much further down the priority list.
Madoff's genius marketing insight was offering the illusion of steady returns and the very real excitement (for many) of having your money co-habitate with that of the celebrity swell set.
On paper Madoff looked pretty legit and he did all the right things. That was enough for many but not all who kicked his tires. The Fed is relying similarly on the still solid reputation of the U.S. capital markets and the federal government in general.
The fact is this. Way too many guys are still short or stuck on the sidelines in cash. Market won't go down until these guys throw in the towel and start buying stocks.
that is some brutally tortured logic.
by that line of thinking then you would imagine that once the word was out that Madoff was running a ponzi scheme EVERYBODY should have rushed in to sign up with him.
Pssst, RT, got AVL?
RT, what do you think of PCX (Patriot Coal)? Ramped nicely on the Oz floods. Still losing money, but more importantly, it has momentum, which seems to be all that matters anymore.
What if they just wait for the bond market to punish the guilty? Think the FED can fight a war on two fronts?
Depends on where on the pryamid i was positioned!!!!!!!!! (Madoff question)
What if Bernanke is doing right and is a genius??? >>>ive claimed i might be going insane<<<
"Watching with horror and fascination" is about the only way to desribe it. Yet don't forget as someone mentioned above that Friday afternoon also entitles you to any futures gap up on Monday.
Un be fu ** ing leivable, but then again, that wizened little gnome Uncle Alan more or less telegraphed the whole scheme last year. Don't fight the FED.
A few factors worth considering Robo:
1) The price continues to get more expensive which requires more capital to buy less...hence the continuously lower volumes
2) Regular folk are priced out of the market and the longer you stay out the easier it becomes to stay out of the market altogether.
3) If or when one entitiy (probably Goldman) decides to throw the first punch it will be a dogfight to get out with no volume hence the price will drop much faster than it went up.
Of course the big boys with their HFT friends will get first / best shot and regular people will indeed get slaughtered or "a.k.a." the grand finale!
Every bull of course will claim they got out in time...the song remains the same.
Does seem to work like a clock. Shorts scramble to cover on Friday and the final huge ramp in the last 15 minutes of trading on Friday in anticipation of the Monday parabolic surge in stock prices.
I would love to see statistics on how many times Monday was down over say the last 2 years. Probably only 2% of the time. If even that.
Short on Tuesday and cover on Thursday morning. Buy Friday morning and sell Monday at close. Looks like that is the ticket to profits.
Too bad the mutual fund managers don't know they are being scammed or else they would do a better job of protecting investors. [/sarcasm]
Buzz. I thought about that too. You would think that they would stager the investment throught the week. They end up buying at the high for the week. So much for letting someone else manage your money.
The only time you would have wanted out of the Madoff pyramid was a week before it impoded, until that time all was good. But, you would have been lucky to talk Madoff into giving you your money back once you handed any of it over.
Sorta reminds me of the market in general, you want to be in on the scam as it ramps ever higher, until it implodes and the S&P declines back down to 666, unless of course you're one of the miserable bastards that's fighting the fed, and you're all in with nothing but your shorts.
YES...Counter-Intuitivly Markets, Any Market indeed, will tend to Rise in times of Low and Very Low volume. And this story actually spills the beans on Why this is when he asks if the only players on low volume are just in it to pump prices for their own benefit - Bingo.
Here is what happens: When only a few people are trading, they effectively "fix" the price, thus raising their portfolio "value", giving them more leverage to buy yet more. With low volume there can be no large selling of any sort, why? Simple - Those people trading refuse to sell at anythihng less than "X". Period. In fact this can be done for a long long time...a few people trading can actually rise a stock price to astronimical levels far beyond anything the company is even capable of making. This can and will continue UNTIL those people pumping the price higher attempt (someties with fabulous success) to cash out, effectively selling an artifically pumped stock to someone else. Then...with these few players cashed out and inactive, real bids and asks start rolling in...but at those high prices very very few people will bid, and at some point someone hits that "Sell at Market" button, and a bid collapse and flood of selling commenses.
We are witnessing this currently in most equities due to the HFT platforms allowed to run 75-80% of daily trades....what...did you expect to happen...and at a certain point, they will decide its time to "bag the profits".
The cute thing is when they take $1000 and pump it to $1,000,000 sell for $990,000, then wait for the stock to crash and buy out everyone for...$1000...HAHAHAHA!!!
You're only halfway there. Now figure up how much of the 'Monday' gains actually came in the pre-market. At least half. It's all about SPY and the ES. Take away those and stocks go nowhere.
does anyone know what percentage of trading days in 2010 were characterized by the markets being up at the open and trading roughly sideways for the rest of the session and what percentage of 2010s total advance do these types of days represent? What I am getting at, or rather curious about, is; what percentage of 2010's SP500 advance might be attributed to merely the market already being up at the open with little to no significant action for the remainder of the session. Also, along these lines of thinking, is there any statistically significant correlation in 2010 between daily trading volumes and the markets ending up or down?
Here is an idea BEN. Just have the market open one day a week say monday, do some POMO and pump each weekend. Might as well only let the banks open one day a week say tuesday so we can collect our day trades profits.
Interesting chart for anyone who hasn't seen it yet:
Sell the dip
17th february will change the rule
Are you really trying to say that these psychics are saying that AIG will survive and continue to be successful they way they were in 2000? Let me know what you have to say, please. My e-mail address is 1998 Toyota Paseo AC Compressor

This morning just about 8:30 we had snow ! It was like soap powder's. The sky was sunny then a dark cloud rolled in and it snowed for about five minutes. I don't think that has happened here on this date ever. There was also a strong wind. It was very strange. But then the dark cloud left and it stopped. It's been sunny and windy all day. Mommy has some lilac bushes and they are in full bloom. Oh they smell so good. Friday I helped mommy plant marigold seed's in the back yard along the fence. I was a good pup. I would sit at each fence post and watch mommy dig then drop in some seed's and cover them up. Then we moved on to the next one. We planted by five fence panel's. Marigold's are pretty and bright. I also supervised the hanging up of the Humming Bird Feeder's. We have two in front that mommy did without help and two out back that I watched her do. BOL ! Don't know what she would do without my help. That's what she say's to. Have a great day pup's !

We love chasing each other. Mommy thow's the snow up in the air so it fall's down on all of us. Gotta rest then go back out. Have a great day !
