I saw a thread a while back on the Cyan developer does anyone know if this was ever resolved. So my main question is what are the field problems ya are seeing and how do you rate these machines thanks for your time.

Cost is a major factor in more than 39% of cases where owners of a cat, dog, rabbit or horse fail to vaccinate, according to a YouGov poll commissioned at the start of the 2011 National Vaccination Month campaign.
Cost is a factor in more than 39% of cases where owners of a cat, dog, rabbit or horse fail to vaccinate, according to a YouGov poll commissioned at the start of the 2011 National Vaccination Month campaign by Intervet/Schering-Plough Animal Health.
The survey shows that more than half of Britain's pets are being left unvaccinated and potentially vulnerable to disease.
The campaign, spearheaded by wildlife broadcaster Chris Packham and TV zoo vet Matt Brash, is pointing to an increase in outbreaks of parvovirus and evidence to suggest that three quarters of vet practices in the UK have seen cat flu in the past year as signs that disease hotspots may be developing across the country.
According to the YouGov survey, 37% of those failing to vaccinate their pets say they last did so within the last two years. The majority (55%) say they last vaccinated their pets within the past three years. Just 11% last vaccinated their animals between 3 and 4 years ago.
The survey also revealed strong regional variations in vaccination level, suggesting that pet owners in the west midlands are the worst culprits with half of pet owners admitting their animals are unvaccinated. Next comes the north west where 43% of pets have either lapsed immunity or never been vaccinated.
|Other regional variations include:
Matt said: "There appears to be a worrying trend of falling vaccination– among those not protecting their pets, large numbers have stopped within the past two years. It is also really concerning that families with pets appear hardest hit.
"There do appear to be some regional trends with sharper falls in Wales and the East of England, which as a vet is of even greater concern. If vaccination falls below a certain level in parts of the country, this could have an impact on herd immunity with the result that we could start to see disease hotspots developing."
Vet practices across the country are currently offering a discount on vaccination through the National Vaccination Month website to encourage pet owners whose cats, dogs, rabbits and horses are unprotected, not to cut back on life-saving healthcare.
On the first day of a TV advert being aired to support the campaign, the campaign website crashed briefly due to volume of traffic.
Angus Robinson from Intervet/Schering-Plough Animal Health said: "The campaign is really taking off this year and the YouGov survey revealed some significant data of use to veterinary practices.
"A perception of cost still seems to be the major factor and the economic climate is clearly behind this, but lack of awareness of disease is also key.
"The survey suggests that not only is there a demand for National Vaccination Month – 76% of those not vaccinating said they would take advantage of a scheme like this – but there is also a real need for client education. A staggering 91% of those polled said they would get their pet vaccinated if they were aware that there was disease in their area."
He concluded: "Without wishing to scare people, we do need to alert pet owners to the fact that pet disease is out there. It is the kind of thing that they never think is going to happen to their beloved pet but when it does, it is devastating."
- Pet owners can download a voucher from www.nvmonline.co.uk for a discounted vaccination, offering savings of around £30 from participating surgeries throughout May.
- Unvaccinated and eligible dogs, cats, rabbits and horses are all included in the scheme and more than 2,000 veterinary practices are taking part in the campaign nationwide.

The stock of media company Lions Gate Entertainment (LGF) has found support in a pullback to the 10-week moving average.
Shares are rising from that intermediate-term price average with some volume. This creates Lions Gate's first follow-on buy area since a breakout early this year. But keep in mind that the market is technically in a correction, and buy areas have not been working so much.
The company, which goes by Lionsgate, makes movies and TV shows such as "Mad Men" and "Nashville." It also has cable channels among its production and distribution businesses.
It gained fame last year, when its "Hunger Games" movie smashed box-office records. The movie grossed $686.5 million worldwide and cost $130 million to make, according to industry website Boxoffice.com. A sequel is being released in November.
Lions Gate also produced the blockbuster Twilight Saga film franchise.
On March 26, Lions Gate shares rose to a then-new high on reports that CBS (CBS) had acquired a 50% stake in its TV Guide Network, which would make it partners with Lions Gate. Analysts said TV Guide Network would benefit from CBS' experience as a network operator and Lions Gate's TV and movie programming and distribution expertise.
Lions Gate has posted operating losses the past five fiscal years, but is expected to earn 92 cents a share for the fiscal year that ended in March.
After several quarters of declining sales, the company's top-line growth accelerated 71%, 81%, 97% and 130%.
Operating cash flow has been solid despite those years of losses.
IBD's movies industry group is in the top 10 of 197 groups. It got a boost Tuesday with Netflix's (NFLX) post-earnings surge.

Waffle It: 12 Favorite Foods Totally Transformed with a Waffle Ironby Sara Levine in Recipes, November 1st, 2013
Waffle obsession is upon us. It started when Leah Brickley, a Food Network Kitchens' recipe developer, made French toast in a waffle iron. It was so good, with the perfect ratio of crispy and crunchy to creamy and eggy, that FoodNetwork.com's editors questioned why waffling isn't the standard method of preparing French toast. Why isn't this on brunch menus across the country? We wondered. And then: What else can we waffle?
Waffle mania ensued. Sure, there were some misses — which we'll share with you in a later post — but Leah and team came up with a dozen waffled recipes that just might best the originals (you should have seen the Iron Chef America crew, passing by tastings and doing double-takes at the creations). Check the waffles out in our gallery, then break out the waffle maker to make these awesomely easy (and quick!) breakfasts, lunches, dinners and desserts. Happy waffling!

People are finding ways to conserve through this heat wave as well by changing other habits of summer.
Marc Telowsky can't help but smile– the Manager at Nanaimo's Canadian Tire has never been so popular.
As the sound of his cart carrying an air conditioner brings people running down the aisle.
"People are grabbing them before we can make it to the actual aisle," says Telowsky. "Because of this extreme heat wave it's just been non stop requests for fans, air conditioners, ice packs, coolers, pools."
And BC Hydro's seeing power use spike as people plug that new equipment in. As those who've been living without air conditioners decide this is the summer to do it.
"It's getting hot and I decided that I like my comfort and the fan didn't quite do it last night," says Nanaimo resident Peter Newman.
"This certainly is unusual for Vancouver Island to have a heatwave extend for this period of time and across the province and as a result at Hydro we've experienced some pretty high usage not usually seen this time of year," says Ted Olynyk of BC Hydro.
Power use spiked about 15 per cent in recent days as temperatures soared. But a behaviour typical of weather like this, water use is surprisingly down in Nanaimo. Where people are clearly abiding by stage 2 water restrictions.
"They're either being reminded by their neighbours or we're swinging by and giving them a bit of a note to let them know," says Bill Sims, Nanaimo's Water Resources Manager.
And officials say its led to a real shift away from watering in this year's drought.
"As you drive around Nanaimo you certainly see a lot more brown lawns or golden lawns as we like to call them because way to go than we used to and people are opting to let their lawns go dormant," added Sims.
A promising sign to officials that people are buying into conservation in this heat, trying to get cool where they can.

UCLan uses an ISO14001 certified Environmental Management System (EMS) to identify, manage and mitigate its impact on the environment.
As part of the development of the EMS an Initial Environmental Review (IER) of UCLan activities, products and services was undertaken to identify the way our operations interact with the environment. These interactions are called environmental aspects; the University now has a register of all the identified environmental aspects.
In summary, the six most significant environmental aspects that UCLan will prioritise within improvement programmes are:
For further information please email: firstname.lastname@example.com
The EMS enables UCLan to meet the targets outlined in the environmental sustainability policy and the University Medium Term Strategy. The EMS helps us manage and mitigate our environmental impacts and ensures:
The EMS has been pivotal to UCLan's success in achieving its sustainability targets. In October 2010 UCLan was first awarded ISO14001 certification for the system and re-certification was achieved in October 2013. UCLan is now ISO14001 certified until October 2016. Having ISO14001 demonstrates that the system is effective and that UCLan are committed to environmental sustainability.
UCLan is a large and diverse institution. To facilitate related internal communication between the various levels and functions of the organisation an Environmental and Sustainable Development Governance Structure has been established.
UCLan implements its sustainable development and EMS policies and strategies through the environmental management plan and the school and service delivery plans.
Progress reports are available from firstname.lastname@example.com
Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) - UCLan Facilities Management monitor a number of operational KPIs to inform their implementation of the sustainable development strategy.
UCLan is a large and diverse institution. To facilitate related internal communication between the various levels and functions of the organisation an Environmental and Sustainable Development Governance Structure (.docx) has been established.
The governance structure involves a series of regular meetings at various levels. These enable senior management, students, School and Services staff to review, discuss, develop and implement the sustainable development strategy. This allows UCLan to maintain the continual improvement and management review elements of the EMS.

Candravar: The Last Elder
Aldrest limped his way with Shizuma's help toward the skirts of the mountain, the mountain where the Elders had originally been bestowed with the power of channelizing their energy into a weapon. The survivors of the challenge were assembled there surrounding Candravar who was speaking in a low and cold voice.
"What is going on?" asked Shizuma, whilst making her way toward the centre to listen to what was going on. Students from the Academy and others hunters were already there with multiple scratches and wounds of their own.
"...just want to congratulate all of you for your diligence and participation in this heartless game," Candravar's voice was solemn, then his voice lower to a stealthy whisper, "but I'm afraid to tell you this game isn't what it seems. Salazar has tricked us all into believing the champion will possess the scroll but it's nothing like that."
"What do you mean?" one burly hunter asked, he had a nasty patch of dried blood in the side of his head. "Is this your way of scaring us out of the competition?"
"No," answered Candravar. "Have you wondered what happened to the other hunters who were disqualified or failed the previous challenges?"
Silence answered him, followed by realization, enlightenment, and fear from the older hunters.
"Nobody knows their whereabouts," continued Candravar, "I failed to notice it until after the second battle, when Neil, a student of mine, started attacking some of his own companions in the Academy. This is not a common and innocent hunting game, this is a real hunting of hunters and it's not for leisure activity. It's a hunt to kill." He paused, scanning everybody's gaped expressions. "This game has filled itself with bloodshed and I regret the late knowledge of it. We know Salazar's reputation as a hunter, vile and dangerous. Somebody we cannot trust."
"What are you saying?" Albert's voice rang after a painful silence, "we are pawns in his game and he has been wiping a few of us out after each challenge?"
"The water above the fjord was poisoned, all the ones who fell never emerged from the tempestuous waters; instead they were washed over at the bay. The second challenge, sentinels were positioned around the forest to kill anyone who didn't have a kerchief, and during the third challenge we were drugged and suffered delusions. Due to these delusions some of us committed murder believing we were killing our fears," his eyes shifted to Joanne with compassion. Koemi wrapped her arm around Joanne's shoulder and gave it a squeeze.
"They died?" Aldrest asked lividly.
"And more deaths are to come in this fatal battle that awaits us," Candravar said, "I am offering you a way out, step out of this dangerous game when you can. Salazar is waiting for us in the top of this mountain, waiting to consume our lives."
There was a truth that weighed down his words into everybody's hearts. The faces of the hunters were over-brimming with fear and understanding. "The scroll of the Elders," said Candravar, " and the being disappeared long ago, just after granting us this power. The scroll was supposed to die with it but I suppose an evil force was able to take control of it. I have kept this secret for too long with me, fearing it might cause destruction if it was revealed, but I fear no more for we must me united. If hunters die the world would be reign by terror and havoc..."
"What now, Candravar?" a slender female asked. "We cannot let Salazar live after this!" Several voices roused and joined into the uprising anger and rage.
"I will fight Salazar." Candravar's statement surprised everybody. He then looked up to the darkening sky. "I allowed him to continue his doings for much too long now, and I wouldn't dare have another hunter or student dead."
"Candravar you are much too old for it!" Axel exclaimed, clenching his fist. He was supporting his tired weight on Maelstrom. "I will come with you." His declaration was received with nods and positive clamours, for everybody wanted to join.
"I know all of you have brave hearts," he said, lowering his eyes, "but I must do this alone. I have to meet my fate and duty as the last standing Elder, and get the scroll back before it falls into wrong hands..." With that, he turned around abruptly and made his way toward the base of the mountain. "If someone wants to stop me then I am afraid I will have to incapacitate you, the same goes if somebody wants to follow me."
The few hunters were rooted in their spot, watching Candravar's diligent approach toward the mountain and started walking the trail that lead to the top. Some of the hunters shook their head and started walking back toward the village, enraged at being used as puppets whilst Salazar was slowly killing the hunting community.
Shadows surrounded them, the shadows of deadly convicts who worked for Salazar.
"This is a trap; Salazar wants none of us alive after this!" shouted Aldrest. The convicts rounded the group of remaining hunters and fight ensued between the two bands.
"Aldrest, we have to help Candravar," pleaded Shizuma, pulling him toward the mountain trail. Candravar was halfway through it.
Aldrest deflected a sword before taking Shizuma's hand and running toward the trail. "Take care of it, we won't be long. We are going to help Candravar defeat that maniac."
The female hunter nodded, "good luck, kill the bastard! We will handle everything down here."
Aldrest nodded back and started the ascent. They were followed shortly by the ones loyal to Candravar: Albert, Kyre, Koemi, Joanne, and Axel. This was the last battle, to perish or to survive.

William Hill Drops Amaya
After yesterday's revelation that some major shareholders in British betting company William Hill were having major doubts about merging with gaming company Amaya, it's come as no real big surprise today to learn that the talks between the two companies have collapsed and that it looks like this is one deal that won't be happening at all anytime soon.
Amaya, the owners of PokerStars, have tried to put a brave face on the failure of the merger by saying that it would be better for it's shareholders if it remained an independent company, but anyone who's been watching this over the past week or so will know that it's the William Hill board that got the cold feet and pulled out of this. The letter that the hedge fund Parvus Asset Management, that owns almost 15 percent of William Hill, sent to the board, was damning enough for the British to walk away.
Mads Gensmann, the co-founder of Parvus, said yesterday, "We're pleased that the board has decided to cancel the talks with Amaya, and, from our perspective, we're looking forward to working constructively with the board with regard to creating shareholder value for William Hill owners."
William Hill, which is also a major player in the Nevada sports betting world, with over 100 sports books in the state, is still in trouble as its European competitors merge with each other to create bigger companies. But even for them, it seems, merging with Amaya was one step too far.

Let me tell you about what used to happen on Christmas Eve in a famous London store when I worked for a well-known lingerie manufacturer.
We'd all be in early, 8.30am. It would be busy, but by lunchtime it would have tailed off a bit. Then the fun would begin.
First would come the older men. We could tell they'd spent the last 12 months getting up the courage to visit the lingerie department so we we'd be very kind to them, helping them to choose something pretty for their wives.
Next would come the younger lads who fancied something sexy for their girlfriends. They'd pick something red or black but have no clue about size.
Once, when I asked what size was required the chap slowly looked me up and down and said, "Oh, she's about your size." "So, a 30C," I replied. He looked aghast. "No! She's got much bigger tits than that!"
But the last customers on Christmas Eve (and the ones we really looked forward to) were the cash-rich, time-poor businessmen who stumbled in after a boozy Christmas Eve lunch.
You could sell them anything. £400 peach silk negligee? ("That'll do".) Ker-ching! Red half-cup bra and thong and suspender belt? (Never seen her in anything but white, but "That'll do".) Ker-ching! Leopard print cami and French knickers? (Don't fancy my chances, but "Hey, that'll do".) Ker-ching, ker-ching, ker-ching!
Of course, come the January sales, their wives and girlfriends would be back, returning the beautiful lingerie to be exchanged for a six-pack of Sloggi Maxi knickers or a sensible, plain white bra.

Confessions of a bookseller
9.15am. Reaching up to shelve Salman Rushdie, I hear a cough behind me. I turn to see a flustered woman.
"The books, what order are they in?" she asks, waving a finger at the shelves.
"Alphabetical," I say.
"Where would I look for Steinbeck?"
"That would be here, under S," I say.
11.45am. "Scuse me, there was a book that was on the radio," says an elderly woman. "It wasn't Book of the Week, they mentioned it just before that. It was something about the war."
I stare back with a blank face. "Do you have any more information?" I ask.
"You don't know it then?"
"No," I say.
2.30pm. An elderly man walks up to the desk without looking at any books on his way. He grabs the edge of the counter and rocks back on his heels. "I have a bit of a conundrum. It's a book that was on the radio, by the person that did the Kite Runner. Thousand Splendid something."
"Yes, Thousand Splendid Suns", I say reaching for the book from one of the many, many piles of it that we have around the shop.
"Unbelievable", he says, shaking his head. "Marvellous!"
3.20pm. A woman appears with a toddler, who kicks me. "That book in the window, about a swan," she says. "Have you got it?"
"It will be in the children's section just behind you," I say.
"I haven't got time to look!" she says, and flounces out again.
5.30pm. A woman thinks the lifelike cat in our Harry Potter display is made of actual cat skin from China. "I'm going to write to your head office", she threatens. "Please do", I say, too exhausted to care.

Command Me
Summary - A short poem Sebastian writes while he watches Ciel sleep.
Command me, my master, your orders I shall obey. Make me your servant; let "yes my lord" be what I say.
"Sebastian, tuck me in," Ciel commanded.
Sebastian grinned as he fixed the covers over the small boy, tucking the tired master into bed after a long hard day.
Command me, my master, and I shall do your every will. I am your devoted slave; my freedom is yours to steal.
"Are you comfortable?"
"Shut up and fix my pillow."
Command me, my master, let me serve you to the end. You are the one I answer to; I am the on you do depend.
Sebastian fixed the pillow till Ciel waved him away. The butler watched as the boy laid his head down, eyes drooping.
Command me, my master, for I am yours to keep.
Sebastian bent and grabbed the candle holder, walking for the door.
Until you take your last breath...
He turned at the door and smiled at the boy, eyes flashing red.
...then it's your soul I keep.
With a soft breath, Sebastian blew out the candles, as the darkness took hold, the door closed with a click. Sebastian paused outside it and his smile widen, eyes bright.
"Command me, bocchan," he whispered gently before disappearing into the darkness of the hall.

Notes: Came to me on the walk home, then almost got eaten by Domino who wanted me to write about her and Milo. Luckily, I think I got most of what was in my head into this (sadly, I know I forgot some). I've got the Trouser remix of the Pet Shop Boys' Red Letter Day playing, and it's probably one of the most bittersweet remixes. Ever. Really fits this, I think.
Always Waiting For That Red Letter Day by ALC Punk!
It's not a question that she has ever asked. It has, occasionally, haunted her for the last two cycles. Strangely, it never seems to occur to the others.
The others who go on with their daily lives as if nothing has happened (not that it has, and she knows there is delusion if she believes she is the centre of their worlds). Even now, she can hear them, dimly.
Crichton and Aeryn, dancing around their closeness, but determined to be glad the other is alive (and whole, but Zhaan won't ever tell that John isn't whole, that's not her secret). D'Argo, alone again in his quarters -- probably contemplating how much has changed in so short a time (lost his best friend for his son, lost his beloved to his son, lost his son to betrayal). In her own chamber, Chiana is silent (and Zhaan wonders if she still contemplates her betrayal or if there are other things to occupy her.
Here, there is the man Zhaan loves, asleep beside her. His hand rests lightly against her shoulder, as if he waits for her to wake (to startle or stop).
She can feel the calmness and serenity of Moya all around her, and it fills her with resolution.
Moving carefully, she leaves the bed, stopping to touch him gently, keeping him from waking. I will be back, she thinks. I will always be back.
Silence, the heart-beat of a living ship, fills the corridor, and she continues to think. To drift and ponder.
To consider the things she has learned.
From Crichton, she has learned to perservere, to push herself until she falls down. And he has fallen down so many times, that she wonders if he knows truly why she brought Aeryn back to him.
Aeryn Sun possibly suspects, though Zhaan doubts she would ever speak of it. From the ex-Peacekeeper, Zhaan has learned to forgive. To believe that people are more than the facets they present to the world (a lesson she should have learnt long ago, but maybe had forgotten).
It is strange to think of the woman who helped hold her captive for all of those years in a positive light. But Zhaan has given her life for Aeryn's, so perhaps she is entitled.
A step to the side to allow a DRD pass interrupts the flow of her thoughts. Irritably, she wonders if Chiana understands all that her passion has wrought. The young Nebari girl has brought her exasperation and belated affection. In Chiana, Zhaan has seen herself as she once was. And she hopes that life doesn't twist for her as it did for Zhaan.
Perhaps it already has, although Chiana has not learnt from it.
D'Argo has taught her patience, she decides as she stops in the small area that he and Aeryn occasionally use to spar and keep up their martial skills. The patience of a warrior trapped against the wall of a cell for seven cycles (a patience she thought she had mastered so long ago). Chains could not keep him from hope, and neither has the destruction of his dreams.
And Zhaan can still feel the bitterness of her own broken dreams as they crunch silently beneath her feet.
I am dying, she thinks angrily, I am allowed to be ungrateful and bitter.
This is how I see you. John Crichton's voice echoes in her head, a measure of the Unity they once shared spilling over her. Strong, serene, confident. She touches it, marvels at how real it seemed then (how real it seems now, but she is dying and there is no going back. Ever).
There is a strange constancy to the filter of her thoughts.
Pilot would understand her frustration at being trapped by something she can never change. Of course, Pilot is also doing everything he dreamed he once would. Exploring the galaxy, flying amongst the stars. Although not in quite the way he once thought.
And what has she learned from Stark? The question is unanswerable, she decides as she reaches her destination. Perhaps later, she will consider it.
She steps into the center chamber and studies the hynerian seated at the table.
Purile, some would say. Selfish, others.
From Rygel, she has learnt that being selfish is not wrong. It doesn't make one inherently evil to want the best for one's self. It's a lesson that might once have helped.
He jerks and stares at her, hands hovering over the plate of what Crichton has called mussels (although the hynerian term is actually rather rude). "This is my portion, I'm not eating anyone else's."
The defensiveness of his tone doesn't escape her, but this is not why she is here. "Why did you choose us?"
"Choose? I chose nothing!" He snaps, eyeing her.
She sits, unwilling to pace, unwilling to admit that her body is beginning to demand she rest again. She dislikes this slow death, would prefer to go quickly so as not to feel it coming. "At the beginning. When you decided to free us from our cells. Why did you choose us?"
"Oh." She doesn't think he's going to answer for a moment, but he seems to guess she'll stay until he does. "Crais had ordered my death." A mussel enters his mouth and he chews contemplatively for a moment. "Even though he was supposed to keep me alive, I had... annoyed him too much. He would have killed me and then waited until the right moment to 'accidentally' find me dead."
So there was no reason. She wonders why the bitterness is back. "Ah. Thank you." And she is up and moving towards the door. There is a man who is warm and who loves her in her bed. Perhaps returning there will settle her (if she has learned nothing from Stark, she still yet takes comfort in the beauty of his soul).
His voice reaches her when she's at the door. "I also... liked the look of you."
The lie in his voice is no less comforting than the truth would have been. Which is strange. She has, she thinks as she slips through the corridors and back to her cell, learned much from these people.
Perhaps it will be enough to sustain her in death.
"I'm always waiting for that red letter day.
All I want is what you want" - PSB 'Red Letter Day'

Daily Forex Report - USD rebounds as stocks trade lower post GDP
- USD: Mixed, Q2 GDP beats expectations and jobless claims decline, stocks struggle
- JPY: Higher, US borrowing costs drop below Japan, repatriation flows
- EUR: Mixed, German consumer confidence rises to a 15 month high, retail demand falls
- GBP: Lower, pressured by weaker than expected retail sales, home prices rise most than three years
- CAD and AUD: AUD & CAD higher, Aus. CAPEX spending rises, China to increase overseas investment
Overview    Â
USD traded mixed to lower with the AUD trading sharply higher in reaction to report of stronger than expected Australian Q2 CAPEX spending, the EUR supported by report that German consumer confidence rose to 15 month high and JPY supported by a Wall Street Journal report which says that it is now cheaper to borrow in USD then the JPY. GBP continues to underperform as UK retail sales posted an unexpected decline in August and Q2 business investment was weak. GBP traded lower despite report that UK house prices rose the most since 2006. The USD remained on the defensive and rebounded versus JPY after the release of better than expected US Q2 preliminary GDP and report of a drop in US jobless claims. These reports suggest that the US recession is ending and contributes to improving risk sentiment. Fed's Lacker says it's premature to consider a rate hike and he expects lackluster US recovery with protracted unemployment. Lacker's comments capture the current uncertainty about the outlook for the US and global recovery. This uncertainty contributes to FX range trade as investors are not sure whether the USD will be supported by US economic recovery or pressured by improving risk appetite. Because the recovery is mainly supported by government spending and aggressive accommodation from the Fed there is a risk that once government spending is withdrawn and the Fed cuts quantitative ease the US economy may fall back on its own weight and could experience a double dip recession.
 As the global economy recovers currencies linked to growth will likely outperform. US equity rally continues to struggle despite improving US economic data. This may generate broader concern about recent improvements in risk sentiment and outlook for the global recovery as investors remain concerned about whether the recent improvement in economic data is sustainable. Early withdrawal of quantitative ease and the winding down of fiscal stimulus may present major headwinds for the global recovery. The Feds Lacker hinted that the Fed may soon be reducing quantitative ease and said the US may not need all planed Fed stimulus. Equities turned lower along with crude prices and USD rebounded.
Today's US data:
US preliminary Q2 GDP was reported un-revised -1%, the trade had expected a reading of -1.4%. Jobless claims for week ending August 22nd decline by 10k to 570k dropping to a four month low. USD experienced a modest rebound after the release of these reports as equities trade lower.
Upcoming US data:
On August 28th July personal income and personal consumption will be released with both reports expected to rise by 0.2%. Final University of Michigan consumer confidence will also be released on the 28th expected at 64.5 compared to 63.2 last month.
JPY traded higher initially supported by light safe haven flows as the Nikkei closed 165 points lower. Asian markets remain vulnerable to report of China's plan to cap lending and reduce overcapacity. JPY was also supported by a Wall Street Journal report titled USD now cheaper to borrow than JPY and another Wall Street Journal report which says that DPJ party plans to move towards improving relations with Asia possibly at the expense of relations with the US. USD borrowing costs dropped to the lowest level in 16 years relative to JPY rates. The narrowing of the yield gap may generate less incentive to borrow in JPY to fund investments. JPY upside was limited by selling in cross trade to AUD and EUR with the AUD supported by report of stronger than expected Australian CAPEX spending and report that China plans to increase overseas investment. The EUR was supported by report of improving German consumer confidence. GBP/JPY traded lower with GBP pressured by report of weaker than expected UK retail sales and Q2 business investment. JPY was also supported by the report that China plans to increase investment tenfold targeting Japan among other nations and by anticipation of repatriation flows as Japanese companies take advantage of tax exemption on dividends from overseas profits. JPY drifted off the day's highs after the release of better than expected US preliminary Q2 GDP and report of a drop in US jobless claims. Positive news for US recovery tends to dampen safe haven demand for the JPY. JPY re-rallied as US equities trade lower post release of US Q2 GDP and jobless claims.
On August 28th July CPI will be released along with July retail sales and industrial output. CPI is expected to fall 0.2%, retail sales are expected to rise 0.3% and industrial output is expected at 0.5%.
Key technical levels to watch in USD/JPY include support at 92.70 the July 14th low with resistance at 95.10 the August 24th high.
EUR traded mixed initially supported by report of improving German consumer confidence. German consumer GFK confidence rose to a 15 month high increasing to 3.7% from .3.4 % in August. EUR gains were limited by report of the drop in EU retail demand and the release of better than expected US preliminary Q2 GDP and report of a decline in US jobless claims for the week ending August 22nd. EU retail PMI fell to 47.1 from 47.3 last month. EU July M3 was reported at 3% and the July leading economic index rose 1.6%. Today's EU economic data generally confirms stabilizing of the EU economy. Wednesday Germany reported better than expected rise in the August IFO. EUR rallies have been limited despite improving EU economic outlook mainly because of questions about whether the economic recovery is sustainable. Positive US data is beginning to support the USD as well.
On August 28th EU business and economic sentiment is due for release. The business climate index is expected -2.71 and economic confidence index expected 76.
The technical outlook for the EUR is mixed as the EUR rally stalls above 1.4300. Expect EUR support at 1.4209 the August 21st low and 1.4045 the August 17th low with resistance at 1.4375 the August 21st high.
GBP traded lower pressured by report of a drop in retail sales, weaker Q2 business investment and continued selling in cross trade. UK August CBI retail sales declined to -16 from -15. The CBI retail sales were expected to improve to -13. Q2 business investments declined 10.4%. A decline of 3.6% was expected for business investment. The decline in business investments will raise more doubts about UK economic recovery. GBP downside was limited by report that UK August house prices rose by 1.6% and at the fastest pace in three years. A rise of 0.5% was expected for August house prices. GBP remains vulnerable to uncertainty about the UK recovery and speculation that the UK recovery will lag behind the US and the EU. GBP continues to weaken with selling pressure attributed to the BOE's recent decision to expand quantitative ease and from concern about expanding UK budget deficit. The BOE expanded quantitative ease by £50 bln earlier in the month UK reported a record budget deficit in July. The UK government plans to raise a record 220 billion GBP this year and may have to increase debt issuance to cover the budget gap. Positive US Q2 GDP and jobless claims data failed to boost demand for GBP or stocks. The close correlation of GBP price direction to improving the sentiment has been breaking down. GBP traded to the day's lows in reaction to weaker US equity market trade. Focus turns to Friday's release of UK GDP for further clues to whether the UK economy is emerging from recession along with the rest of Europe.
On August 28th UK GDP will be released expected at -0.8% for the quarter.
The technical outlook for GBP is negative as GBP trades below support at 1.6275. Expect near-term support at 1.6025 the July 10th low with resistance at 1.6356 the August 26th high.
CAD traded mixed and failed to match gains of the other commodity currencies with upside limited by weaker equity market trade and threat of intervention. US equity markets traded both sides of settlement despite report of better than expected Q2 preliminary GDP and a drop in US jobless claims. US equity market response to yesterday's report of a sharp jump in US new home sales and strong durable goods orders was also muted. The action in US equity markets may be a sign that investors remain cautious about outlook for the US and global recovery. CAD has been weakening since Tuesday's statement by the BOC's Lane expressing concern about the impact of CAD strength on the Canadian economy. Lane sees end of Canada's recession but he expressed concern about strength of the CAD. According to Lane, Canada's economy is expected to start to grow this quarter along with the global economy but the recovery will be muted. Lane's comments increase the risk that the BOC may take action to weaken the CAD. CAD direction will remain closely correlated to speculation about the global recovery and risk sentiment. Report that China plans to increase overseas investment limits CAD downside. The Canadian economic recovery will be dependent on global demand and increased Chinese global investment could help boost global growth outlook. Global equity markets are struggling to maintain the current rally and this may limit demand for the CAD.
On August 28th the current account balance will be released expected at -9.1 bln along with industrial products price expected at 0.7% and the raw materials price index at 6.2%.
The technical outlook for CAD has turned mixed as USD/CAD rises back above 1.0900. Look for near-term support at 1.0831 the August 26th low with resistance at 1.1125 the August 17th high.
AUD traded sharply higher supported by report of stronger than expected Australian Q2 CAPEX spending and report that China plans to increase overseas investment tenfold. AUD gains were cut in half during the US session with selling attributed to weaker US equity markets. Australia's Q2 CAPEX spending was reported at 3.3%. The trade had expected a - 5% reading for Q2 CAPEX spending. CAPEX spending is the fuel for business investment and the report suggests that the Australian economy may begin to expand supported by increased business spending. The impact of China's growth outlook and global investment is key to the global recovery. The Australian economy is highly dependent on exports and global demand particularly from China. The fact that China plans to increase global investment should be a net positive for the Australian economy and may contribute to investor demand for growth linked currencies like the AUD. AUD price action has been choppy with uncertainty about the outlook for China's economy a key factor. According to Chinese press China will take steps to curb excess capacity and wasteful investment in certain sectors. Fear that China would continue to limit lending generates uncertainty about the Chinese economic outlook and global recovery. AUD price direction is the most sensitive to developments in the China as China is a major export destination for Australian goods. The trade is closely monitoring the Shanghai Index and is wary of the threat of intervention. The Shanghai Index traded higher Thursday adding support to the AUD. AUD gains were limited as US equity markets traded lower after the release of US Q2 GDP and jobless claims.
The technical outlook for the AUD is mixed as AUD rallies fail above 8400. Expect AUD support at 8239 the August 27th low with resistance at 8388 the August 26th high.

How to Choose BMX Gloves or BMX Wrist Protection
A good pair of BMX gloves offer both protection and cushioning for your hands. After several hours of gripping the handlebars, jumps, and, hard slams on the ground, pavement, or half-pipe, your hands can take a beating. Here are just a few reasons to wear BMX gloves:
- The constant friction of the handlebars against your skin can cause blisters
- Blisters turn into calluses. Ask your girlfriend or boyfriend how she or he feels about calloused hands.
- BMX gloves can prevent tingling and numbness caused by constant vibration and pressure on the ulnar nerve in the hand and wrist
- BMX gloves can help you maintain your grip on the handlebars when your hands are sweaty or the weather is damp
- A BMX glove is a good place to wipe the sweat away from your eyes
- BMX gloves can help you extend your riding season by keeping you warm when the weather turns cooler
- When you fall, the natural instinct is to throw your hands in front of you to break the fall. Isn't it better to slide on BMX gloves than on your bare skin?
The finger length, amount of padding, and amount of insulation you need depends upon the type of riding you'll be doing and where/when you ride:You'll probably want full-length BMX gloves if you:
- Are riding in cold or windy weather
- Are racing or doing any riding with a high risk of crashing
- Prefer having your full hand covered
- You'll be riding in hot weather
- You feel disconnected from the bike if your fingers aren't in contact with the handlebar
How about a BMX Wrist Brace?
A BMX wrist brace is important, especially if you fall a lot, or are practicing new tricks... when you WILL fall a lot. Our natural instinct when we fall is to extend our hand to bread the fall. You guessed it, your wrists take a beating. A wrist brace can also help relieve stress or pain from carpal tunnel syndrome. And if you've had a previous wrist fracture or injury, BMX wrist protection can help stabilize your wrist to prevent further damage. Please note, several of our BMX gloves include built-in wrist protection.
BMX gloves: How much padding do you need?
Most cycling gloves will have, at minimum, a small amount of gel padding on the palms to absorb vibrations and cushion your hands. The amount of padding goes up from there. If you're a street or freestyle rider, light to moderate palm padding is probably all you need. If you ride vert, you may want to look for BMX gloves with full-length fingers and some knuckle padding. Look for full-length BMX gloves with beefed up padding and knuckle protection for BMX racing.
BMX glove price comparisonWhat you'll find in BMX gloves under $20:
- A basic all-purpose glove
- Primarily short-finger, with a few full-length gloves
- Light gel padding/cushion on palms to absorb vibrations while riding
- No or minimal padding on back of hands
- Fabric wicks moisture away from skin
- Generally will be gloves best suited for warmer weather riding
- May use higher-grade materials, such as leather palms
- Water-repellent materials/finishes
- Insulated gloves for cold-weather riding
- More sophisticated designs
- High-tech cushioning materials
- Some back-of-hand padding
- Designed for most aggressive riding
- Knuckle and back-of-hand padding
- Best insulated cold-weather gloves
- Advanced protective materials
- Some may have wrist support
Are You Ready to Buy Your BMX Gloves?
Hopefully, the above information will give you a good idea of what type of BMX gloves and wrist guards will be best for your needs.

Changes in Finger Coordination and Hand Function with Advanced Age

Age-related changes in the hand neuromuscular apparatus are accompanied by changes in both finger strength and finger coordination. The loss of strength is more pronounced during maximal torque production tasks than in maximal force production tasks. Intrinsic hand muscles show a disproportionate loss of force, which may render multi-digit synergies learnt over the lifetime suboptimal. Age leads to lower force production by uninstructed fingers (lower enslaving), which may have negative effects on performance in tasks that involve rotational equilibrium constraints. Elderly persons show worse stabilization of the total force during accurate force production tasks (the stabilization is achieved by co-variation of forces produced by individual digits). They also show worse stabilization of the total moment produced on a hand-held object as compared to young persons. Some of the age-related changes, such as higher safety margins and higher antagonist moments produced by finger forces, may be viewed as adaptive. Other changes, however, are likely to interfere with the everyday hand function making it suboptimal.

I have not been charged for the closet that was
filled with birds,
silt, gloves, and the dullness of petals.
Yet my heart was clean from the very first.
My hands were ready
and opened like gifts.
In sleep, the sound of hours rushed
across the street to ravish me.
I have made light of many things
and that's why we can see in here

Jones finds home sweet home in Tunica
Although the setting is different, Lindsay Klimek Jones said her story is much like the plot to the popular film "Legally Blond."
"Kind of like Elle Woods, I woke up one day and said 'I want to go to law school," she says with a laugh.
At that point, Jones was enrolled at the University of Mississippi pursuing a degree in anthropology with a minor in biology.

Texas Herald-Zeituno I—Mo 97R 64 Pages —4 Sections SUNDAY December 5, 1982 50 cents Vol. 91-No. 236 (USPS 377 880)Community Fund closing in on $85,000 goal By DEBBIE DelOACH Staff writer As of Friday afternoon, just $13,440 separates Comal County Community Fund from its 1082 drive goal of $85,000. "It's so close." said John Turman, president of the Comfunn board of directors. 'And we've got several things going I think will push us over the hill." For example, a second batch of advance gifts letters has been mailed out. contacting those w ho didn t respond the first time. ''We'll wait and see how we come out on that little venture, and then we've got a telephone solicitation system set up for Dec. 13 and 14, in an effort to wind this thing up by Dec. 15," Turman said. The New Braunfels High School Student Council is also sponsoring a Comfund run Dec. ll. Prizes have been donated by local merchants, and Detex has donated trophies. Fliers telling about the event have been sent out to running clubs in the San Antonio-Austin area. and "we're expecting to do quite well with that, too." , Ixist year, Comfund fell short of its goal by about $15,000, and the 18 agencies were given only 87 percent of their original allocations. Turman has said throughout this Comfund drive that he's determined not to have a repeat of last year. Speaking for the Comfund board of directors, Turman said. "We want the county to know how much we appreciate the support we've gotten so far. And I want to encourage those who haven't given a donation to do so. Please don't delay, (live as much as you can whenever you can." A possible misunderstanding may exist, in that people think the money has to Ik* in-hand" by Dec. 15 designated by Comfund as the cutoff date. Comfund executive secretary Suzanne Herbclin explained it this way: "What we want to have by Dec. 15 is our goal. $85,000, in pledges. Just because we re cutting it off Dec. 15, doesn't mean the money has to be paid by then. Anyone can pay out a pledge however he or she can do it . $100 to be paid out quarterly, or even $1 a week, etc. "Even though the drive is taking place iii 1982. the money doesn t have to be in our hands in two weeks," she said. "We want to raise $85,000 in pledges, but can collect the money any way it's convenient." Some good news that hit the Comfund total Friday was a $2,600 donation from the employees of Kroger's. "That was a tremendous boost, and we appreciate those efforts so much," Turman said. Unicorns, fans eye state semis By KARI MITCHELL Sports editor When the Big Blue Crew began to count down the remaining minutes of Friday night's 23-0 quarter final win over South San West and the fighting Unicorn band plaxed "(Hi New Braunfels," two firsts happened The Unicorns had made it into the semi-finals ofRelated story, Page SA the state football playoffs and a coach had to call a time out to get his team out of the dressing room "Can you believe it"' .shouted defensive coordinator Tim Kingsbury Where are they going?" He asked Jim Street). who bowed his head to hide a grin "Heh, come back here' Somebody go get them, it's not over yet!'' Wrong "It was over when we scored that first touchdown," said one NB fan. grinning widely as she planting her thumb against her forehead and extended her little finger in the sign of the Unicorn "I just knew it Earl Wilson ran right over them!" The smile got wider as she broke down. "Unicorns are the best! All the way to state!"

We didn t mean any thing by the boos," said a freshman band member after a particularly loud session 'That s part of it, ya know?

The win sends the Unicorns into tile state semifinals against Fort Bend Willowridge Friday in the Astrodome in Houston Incorporation studied as possible alternative to River Road woes Inside By DYANNE FRY Staff writer During the busy summer months, recreational traffic in the River Road area gets a little out of hand. Quite a few Comal County residents would agree with that, but it's not so easy to say what should be done about it The County Commissioners Court has tried for years to come up with a solution. Two major obstacles have appeared rn almost every path the county has tried: lark of funds, and lack of legal authority to do much of anything. Now, some river-area residents are talking about taking matters mto their own hands and incorporating as a city. "If it came about, we'd have ordinance-making power, just like the City of New Braunfels," said Norris Flodine, president of the Guadalupe Valley and River Association. The officers of that group are more or less behind the incorporation effort. It's still very much in the discussion stage at this point We've had one kind of a general meeting," Flodine said. Held at Mountain Valley on Nov 18, the meeting drew property owners from Canyon Dam downriver to the other side of Elm Creek Attendance, said Flodine, "must have been in the neighborhood of a hundred. "I didn't think it was a very good crowd myself, considering the territory we had to cover. But Mr. i Fred I McIntyre, the principal up there, said it was a wonderful crowd.'' Gauging the general feeling of the meeting, Flodine said, "It looks like some of the people w ho are in business from Second Crossing toward (New Braunfels) would like not to incorporate. Some people right in the heart of Sattler would like not to incorporate. And there s quite a few people in between who think it might be a good idea." He said the issue would be discussed further at another meeting early in 1983. Betty McGranahan, mayor of Garden Ridge, w as a guest speaker at first gathering. Her city (population approximately 700) began as a subdivision in southeastern Comal County. It was incorporated in 1972, when residents decided they'd rather govern themselves than be annexed by San Antonio. "She was there to talk about some of the problems we'd have to face if we decided to do it," Flodine said. Cities can't be started on just any old country road. Texas municipal law guarantees a certain density by setting a minimum population and a maximum area for newly-incorporated areas. The maximum area is two square miles.

"The surgery has been completed The indications are they were able to solve the problem,'' said John Dwan, University of Utah Medical Center spokesman. ('lark, who had been taken off the critical list earlier in the day , was returned to tile operating room after air was found to be leaking into his chest wall. There was no immediate word on what had caused the problem but hospital spokesman Mark Sands said earlier the complication was "not an emergency situation " Dr. Chase Peterson, university vice president of health services, said before Saturday's operation, "Nothing is wrong with tile (ain drive line in terms of cardiovascular function Blood pressure is fine Pulse is fine l he problem may have been there all along, and became acute after removal of tile drainage lubes." Peterson said the leaking could la* caused by a tiny hole iii the tube outside the cardiovascular area, but within the chest wall. He said the air also could be coming from the lung tissue itself, lf that were the case, surgeons would put in another tula1 to suck up the air and keep it from diffusing into the tissue. "I'm not terribly concerned," said Dr Robert Jarvik, inventor of the Jarvik-7 artificial heart. Clark had been listed in serious but stable condition before Saturday's operation. Campaign spending reports arrive By JACQUELINE SMITH Staff writer Funds poured into county races in the November election sound insignificant when compared to the millions of dollars spent on statewide races, but they were far from inexpensive, according to final campaign reports filed with the County Clerk's office The most costly county races proved to Im* the county judge and county clerk races. The winnning candidates in each race — Fred ('lark and Rosie Bosenbury, respectively, each spent more than $6,200 to secure their newly elected office. Thursday was the statewide deadline for candidates to file their final campaign expenditure and contribution statements. But as of Friday afternoon, County Clerk Irene Nuhn was still missing statements from four county candidates. After reviewing lier files. Nuhn said she lacked final campaign expenditure statements from Bon Zipp, judge-elect of the County Court-at-law; Fred Stewart, re-elected justice of the peace to precinct 3; larenzo "Yankee'' Camarillo, who unsuccessfully ran for county commissioner precinct 3; and Precinct 4 County Commissioner O R Heitkamp, who was defeated by challenger VV N.
