The six-month rally in the Australian sharemarket may have reversed two years of losses for growth-oriented superannuation funds but some fund managers are warning investors not to become too optimistic too soon.
Figures released yesterday show five out of 28 surveyed funds were showing positive returns for the 26 months to August 31. In the past six months, investors have enjoyed the longest consecutive monthly run of rises since April 1998.
In another indication of the change in investor sentiment, Australian shares were the strongest asset class in August, the first time since January 2002.
But Perpetual Investments, one of the better performing fund managers this year, has sounded a note of caution.
"You have to put it in the context of a very low base in the first quarter. We had the Iraqi war and the SARS virus," said Perpetual Investments' chief investment officer, Emilio Gonzalez.
"It's just been a bit of a reversal to a very poor period in the March quarter."
Mr Gonzalez said good corporate profits, a resilient economy and no interest rate rises had made sharemarket investors bullish, but warned they had become "overly optimistic".
Perpetual's consistent performance this calendar year has been the result of hedges put in place for international equities, improved performance from investments in the US and a move to an overweight stance in equities.
But Mr Gonzalez said the market rally could easily reverse if the US economy turned sour. "There's a fair bit of optimism built into the market."
InTech's portfolio manager, Chris Thompson, said the recovery in super returns was a reward for the patience of investors. Those that switched out of shares in early March would have missed out on a 28 to 30 per cent increase in the value of these assets, he said.
Perennial Investment Partners' managing director, Ian Macoun, was more upbeat.
"We tried to convince people to hang on in there, which was a big challenge, but as always it was the right thing to do," Mr Macoun said.
"We think this [recovery] is going to continue ... In a nutshell, we think the Australian sharemarket is reasonable value on various measures you look at.
"There's a great deal of liquidity being pumped into the world economy because of low interest rates and government deficits and that does find its way into asset prices.
"People are convinced that property has had its run and where's the money going to go? It's going to go into equities.
"There could always be factor X lurking out there and that could happen at any time, but basically it all looks very positive."
Tyndall's chief executive, Michael Good, said the funds manager had benefited from outperformance in Australian shares in the past year but had also recently taken an underweight position in listed property trusts, the worst asset class in August with a return of minus 1.8 per cent.

It seems an agent unhappy with news media coverage of the University of North Carolina academic scandal has created a website to smear the reporter who has led the way, as The Big Lead reported Tuesday morning.
DirtyDanKane.com was apparently created by Carl Carey, the agent for Chicago Bears defensive end Julius Peppers, to attack reporter Dan Kane from The News & Observer of Raleigh, N.C.
The Big Lead confirmed on whois.com that Carey created the site in June. Links to reviews of Carey on RateMyProfessor.com are on the page.
Carey has several dogs in the fight. He was an academic counselor from 1998 to 2002 during Peppers' time as a Tar Heel. He also taught in the African and Afro-American (AFAM) department, which has come under fire after an investigation by the school found that 54 courses had little to no instruction or work during a four-year span from 2007 to 2011.
Julius Nyang'oro, the head of the department, retired after the university discovered the no-show classes.
One of Carey's reviews read: "GREAT TEACHER! the class is really easy. You don't have to study, but he counts attendance so be there!! :) a perfect class if you do his assigments you would be fine. TAKE HIM"
The News & Observer has continued to ask questions about the breadth of the academic scandal, which now seems might have gone on for a decade.
UNC seemingly released Peppers' transcript online, a discovery noted by an N.C. State fan on the Pack Pride message board over the weekend. Neither the school nor Carey would confirm that the transcript, which lists Peppers' name on top and resembles the classes he would take as an AFAM major, are his.
Carey defended Peppers to the News & Observer, saying athletes are often overwhelmed and unprepared for college courses.

Toll lanes will be tried on local freeways; numerous benefits are expected.
Two of Los Angeles County's busiest freeways will soon become examples of one of the newest concepts in congestion management following a historic transportation agreement announced recently.
Several high-level government officials, including U.S. Secretary of Transportation Mary Peters; Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger; Business, Transportation and Housing Agency Secretary Dale Bonner; Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa; and California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) Director Will Kempton, announced the agreement at a press conference held on April 25 near the Harbor Freeway (I-110).
With a federal grant in the amount of $213.6 million, Caltrans and the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) will begin a demonstration project to convert carpool lanes on the San Bernardino Freeway (I-10) El Monte Bus Lanes and a portion of the Foothill Freeway (I-210) to toll lanes as early as 2010. Pending financing availability, a portion of I-110 south of Downtown Los Angeles also will be converted.
The grant encourages increased use of public transportation and also will be applied to improving the transit infrastructure, such as building more park and ride lots and purchasing 63 new buses for use in express lanes. Additionally, the carpool lanes will remain free to vehicles carrying three or more people.
Congestion pricing, as the strategy is called, involves charging for the use of a transportation facility, such as a carpool lane, based on the level of traffic congestion. Since higher congestion typically occurs during the morning and evening commute, costs would be highest during those times. The purpose of congestion pricing is to manage roadway capacity by changing commuting behavior and generating additional funds for more transit, vanpools and other transportation options to increase mobility.
Virtually everyone has encountered some form of congestion pricing, such as early bird dinners, off-peak air or hotel fares, and reduced rate phone calls on evenings and weekends. Charging tolls to travel on express lanes (also referred to as High Occupancy Toll, or HOT lanes) at peak travel times is the same idea.
One of the challenges to applying congestion pricing to transportation management is that California freeways have always been, well, free. Charging tolls has been criticized as creating so-called "Lexus lanes" that would be used only by the well-to-do. Not so, said District 7 Director Doug Failing. "Converting carpool lanes into toll lanes not only will wring a lot more capacity out of congested freeways in Los Angeles County but will benefit low and middle-income people and everyone else who has to buck traffic."
According to the 2000 Census, 70 percent of Los Angeles County commuters drive alone to work, and only seven percent use transit. Nationwide, highway congestion in the largest U.S. cities has increased from 2.5 hours in 1982 to 7 hours in 2003. Without some sort of dramatic intervention, that figure will only continue to climb. Congestion pricing, according the U.S. Department of Transportation, reduces delays, increases the predictability of trip times, improves transit speeds and the reliability of service, increases transit ridership, reduces fuel consumption and vehicle emissions, and increases revenues for funding transportation improvements.
"With the population continuing to grow, we've reached the tipping point where we have to try new approaches for handling traffic and toll lanes are worth testing to better manage our freeways for the benefit of all," Failing said.
There are still several steps to complete before the demonstration project can be implemented. Environmental documents must be prepared, buses must be purchased, the freeway system must be modified, and the technology to assess tolls must be acquired. Additionally, agreements must be worked out with the California Highway Patrol (CHP) to provide enforcement. "We have until December 31, 2010 to make these systems operational," Failing said. "We can do that, but it's going to take all of us working together to make that date."

An Examination of the Political and Economic Crisis in Ireland
I very much enjoyed this documentary. I find it insightful. A citizen of Ireland who worked as a foreign correspondent returns home and looks at his country with some perspective.
It's easy to see the very similar problems in both the United States and Ireland. In both cases, the government baled out the banks without asking any serious questions nor taking into account the actual value of the bank loans. In both cases, a real estate bubble that was clearly propelled by speculation was considered to be a safe and continuing source of prosperity for the country. And in both cases, the taxpayers wound up footing the bill, while unemployment doubled and services were reduced.
In other words, the well connected walked away and discussed with great seriousness their loss of reputation and minor financial irritations, while the great majority of the nation's citizen's suffered for their crimes.
This is, of course, a business ethics issue. We should live under the same law. It would appear that investment banks live in a different world where obedience to many laws is optional and should they break the few left, they are only fined. We, the public, live under a different system.

About MeHey! So I've been modeling/acting for almost a year now. And I'm ready to make 2012 my year! I have worked with a large spectrum of photographers. I am also doing some some extra work on a few episodes of The Lying Game. I'm ready for the next level though. I'm definitely interested in working with photographers who have a creative eye that like to do crazy things instead of doing what everyone else is doing. I always tell people that fashion fades but style comes within.
I am with Model Mayhem because I feel like its a stepping stone to becoming a better model.

Ratings for Dr. Richard Booth
Dr. Booth has been my dr. For about 10 years. I was sent to him after a pap test came back bad! I was really afraid didn'the know what was going g on. He did more test. Then he had me to come in and explain everything that was going on and my opinion and he was caring funny and just a friendly loving person her I an 10 year to more kids later. And I still have to say me and my family thank Dr Booth for all he done for me and I will keep going to him
I would never go back to this doctor or recommend him to any woman, b/c of his lack of concern or it could have been arogence, never really listening to me, i ended up delevering my child at 23 weeks old, He knew three days before she was born that i said "i feel like i have to cross my legs b/c it feels like im going to have a baby", he brushed it off as no concern , never gave me any physical or to tell me if im in to much pain that i should be concern. it almost cost me and my baby's life. I also went back one more time after delivering her and he still did not give me any exam to make sure i was okay, instead wanted me to take birth control and didnt tell me that it would cause my milk to dry up. I write this to let other woman be aware if they are concern that they should seek a second opinion or go to the er.
dr booth as been my dr 3y i love he and win i have my first baby i know. he will take care of me and my baby...
Dr. Booth is a wonderfull doctor. He treats me with respect and he has very well bed side manners. There is not too many doctors like that. He understood my health conditions and treated me like a normal patient. He is funny and knowledgeable on what he is doing. I had my 1 year old son in their and he talked for hours to him and was really nice to my family. Most doctors rush through and never take the time to listen about your concerns. I would reccomend Booth to anyone that is wanting a excellent ongyn in WV.
I loved having Dr.Booth as my doctor.He has a great sense of humor,caring,friendly,and explains everything to you.There are not very many doctors out there that are like him.The staff there are friendly,and caring.The only person in the office I thought was rude was the lady that takes your blood.She acts like she doesn't know what she doing.Other than her there office is the best I think around in huntington.I would recomend them to anyone.
Dr. Booth is HILARIOUS.. I love that man.. He is a very good doctor with an awesome bedside manner.. Even in the Operating room, he is a cut up and I love that about him.. Jimmy Buffett playing in the OR While the c section was being performed.. he made sure I was comfortable.. not just his staff asking about me. The nurses at AWP have always been friendly and caring and this is through 3 pregnancies. 1 loss, Twins and a singleton. Gotta love those extra peeks to the babies/baby while under his care too!
Dr. Booth has always been friendly, helpful, and gentle. He also is very sympathetic and has a good bedside manner.
Dr. Booth is very friendly but his staff is very rude and not helpful.

Union players and John Hackworth spoke to the media on Tuesday.
Paul Tamberino, US Soccer's Director of Referee Development, announced that DC United's Jaime Moreno's controversial goal in the 68th minute of Saturday's game should not have counted.
The bizarre score was one of the few sour moments of the night for the Union, who won their first-ever game in their home opener in front of more than 34,000 fans at Lincoln Financial Field.
Moreno lingered in front of Union keeper Chris Seitz before a goal kick and pounced when Seitz dropped the ball. If the Union had not rallied for a 3-2 victory, Seitz may have been remembered as the goat of the game.
"Goalkeepers always have to have a short memory," Seitz pointed out in meeting with the media on Tuesday. "It's one of those things that you chalk up as a learning experience and move on."
The keeper admitted that at the time, he wasn't sure if the goal should have counted or not.
"I've never been in that situation before so I didn't know what the ruling was. It kind of threw me a little bit when he [Moreno] made the play. I didn't know, to be honest, if it was legal or not. I went back in the locker room and asked around a bit and it sounded like it wasn't a fair call."
In the Union's first game—an 0-2 beating at the hands of the Sounders in Seattle on March 26th—the Philly's defenders were out of step and chalking up card after card. In the two weeks between that game and the home opener last weekend, the Union coaching staff revamped the back line, cutting David Myrie and adding Cristian Arrieta, the 2009 USL MVP as a member of the Puerto Rico Islanders.
"He gave that outlet pass to get the second goal right before halftime," noted Seitz. "He's strong in the air and he's always in good spots. I feel comfortable with him back there and I think everyone else does as well."
Team captain and fellow defender Danny Califf agreed. "He brought a level of experience, work rate, and calmness that maybe we lacked before. I thought he did a great job."
With the matchup at Toronto just days away, the Union don't have much time to celebrate Saturday's triumph. After a two-week break between the Seattle and DC games, Philly only have five days between the DC and Toronto games.
TFC have dropped both its matches this season, but Union assistant coach John Hackworth is not taking Toronto lightly.
"D-Ro [Dwayne De Rosario] and [Julian de] Guzman are the two we've looked at and said we need to make sure we keep in check. They come off a poor result, but we know that Preki is an excellent coach. He will have his team turned around and prepared. It's their home opener, with grass for the first time at their stadium. All of the emotion and energy that we had on Saturday, Toronto's going to have on Thursday."
For Cristian Arrieta, the trip to Toronto will bring back lots of memories. His Puerto Rico Islanders won there last July in CONCACAF Champions League action.
"If the result is the same with Philadelphia, I'll be happy with it," he said.
He'll also be reunited with Dan Gargan, his teammate with Puerto Rico last year and a current member of Toronto FC. But don't expect hugs on the pitch.
"I'll be very happy to see him but...we're friends before and after the game but during the game there's no friendship. It's a war and I hope to win."
One question on a lot of Union fans' minds is where Peter Nowak will be on Thursday. He spent Saturday's game out of sight in a coach's box, in honor of the victims of the April 10th plane crash that killed Poland's President and numerous senior Polish political, military, and religious figures.
While Nowak will travel with the team to Toronto, no decision has yet been made as to whether Nowak will coach the team from the field.

From 1984 to 1989 the Ocracoke Civic
Club Business Committee
hosted an annual Ocracoke Crab Festival in early May. The Festival was
a popular
event featuring crab races, a crab cooking contest, a crab picking
contest, and
crab pot pulling demonstrations.
Foot races, crafts, crowning of Crab
King & Crab Queen,
plenty of down-home music, and clogging added to the festivities. Of
course, more
than two thousand pounds of tasty crab meat, nine kegs of beer, and
huge trays
of Cole slaw were a major attraction.
Folks arrived from all over
eastern North Carolina, as well
as from more distant areas and surrounding states. Ultimately the
Festival was
the victim of its own success. Crowds of festival goers overwhelmed the
capacity of the Ocracoke community to provide for them and to control
spontaneous and after-hours partying. After six years, the Ocracoke
Festival was discontinued.
Ten years later the
Ocracoke Music & Storytelling
Festival filled the gap. Oriented towards a mellower crowd, this
festival¸ as
its name suggests, featured a variety of local, regional, and national
as well as popular storytellers, magicians, and jugglers.
After 15 years, the
more recent Music & Storytelling Festival continues to be a
weekend with dozens of arts and crafts booths, children's
activities, an art
auction, and a local square dance, in addition to music and
following articles are reprints from newspapers
reporting on the earlier Crab Festival. First is a description of the
following that is a report about the Festival two years later.
(Photographs were added.)
From The Ocracoke
Island News (the Ocracoke school newspaper), 1984 Vol. 3 No. 7:
By Suzanne Lewis
Many people seemed to think that
Saturday, May 5 was the
prettiest spring day of the year. It was a beautiful sunny day for
first Crab Festival, which was sponsored by the Business committee of
Ocracoke Civic Club. Friday, the day before, was cool and breezy, while
the day
after was rainy. The festival spread from the yard of the Berkley
[Berkley Manor] to the National Park Service docks. An estimated 1000
participated in the festival. Ferries from Swan Quarter and Cedar
unloaded several loads of cars and passengers throughout the day. The
was also supported by many local people. For $3.00you could eat all the
crabs you wanted plus coleslaw. Over 1,800 pounds of crabs and nine
kegs of
beer were consumed.
The Crab Festival started with foot
races to raise money for
Brian Newell, a small child who recently had serious eye operations.
The entry
fee for the races was $7.00. There were 32 runners in the races….
At noon, there was a cook-off contest
for the best crab
food. The winners were first place, Francis Bessellieu, who made a crab
casserole; second place, Margie Loebsack, who made crab cakes; and
third place,
Philip Howard, who made a crab quiche. Honorable mention went to Annie
Styron, of the the Pony Island Restaurant, who made egg rolls.
Local musicians as well as a group
from Harker's Island,
provided music throughout the day. Martin Garrish and Maurice Ballance
acoustic guitars, and Edgar Howard played banjo.
There were booths set up by different
organizations on the
island such as the boy scouts, girl scouts, ladies auxiliary, school
class, and businesses such as Noah's [a deli where Oscar's
House B&B is
today], Merchant Mariner [a gift shop near Captain's Landing
Hotel], and Books
and Birds [a gift shop where the Island Ragpicker is now]; even
personal booths
were set up by Stephen Wilson, Ralph and Jennifer Stetler, and Wayne
from the Marine Resources Center in Manteo. There were baked goods,
beer, hot dogs, t-shirts, and balloons for sale. There was also a
raffle for a
buttercup quilt.
At 1:00 there was a children's
hour. Philip Howard and his
son, Stefen, did juggling. Philip juggled fire. Robert Payton from
Virginia did a magic show. Betty-Sue Garrish was dressed as a clown.
Guy Newell
taught kids to catch crabs with strings.
At 2:30 there was a crab picking
contest. The object of the
contest was to see who could pick the most crab meat….
At 3:00 there was the King and Queen
contest. The winning
couple was Donna and Dal Burrus. They were crowned by Miss Hyde County,
Fletcher, who is from Ocracoke. They will be treated to two nights at
Mariott in Raleigh, plus spending money at the Crabtree Valley Mall and
and entertainment.
There also were crab races. Ryan
O'Neal won the children's
event, and Lewis O'Neal won the main event and received $30.00.
As the sun went down the festival came
to an end. Most
people enjoyed themselves and those who had stayed all day went away
"We were overwhelmed over the
success of the festival," said
David Senseney, chairman of the Ocracoke Civic Club Business Committee,
the sponsoring
"I said from the beginning that
we would grant the festival
a success if only the people of Ocracoke came out and had a good time,
and we
covered expenses. They did, of course, and much, much, more…. It
was a real joy
to watch the local kids at the crab races and the children's
From The Winston-Salem
Journal, Sunday, May 11, 1986:
Celebrating the Tasty Blue
Ocracoke – the third annual
Ocacoke Crab Festival, held last
weekend by the docks of Silver Lake, attracted an enthusiastic crowd of
who know how to appreciate the qualities of Callinectes sapidus, the tasty blue
crab. And plenty of people came to learn how.
You break off the
legs, the sponge, the back; scoop out the lungs and organs. Break into
bending the meat outwards, and eat. Wipe your mouth on your sleeve,
toss the
shell into the harbor, and you take a sip of beer and start again.
Truckloads of steamed blue crab,
turned red from cooking,
provided an inexhaustible supply of the " beautiful
swimmer." Scooped by the
handful onto cardboard trays, the steamed crabs were accompanied by
cups of
cocktail sauce, slaw and beer. A worker sometimes paused to demonstrate
accepted technique for gutting and splitting crab and devouring the
white meat.
…and you take a sip
beer and start again.
People sat with their cardboard trays
on the grass or on
docks, legs dangling over the side, and leisurely picked their way
through a
generous pile of steamed crab.
Local craftsmen set out their goods in
a small grassy park
across the street. Among the weaving, baskets and quaint island scenes
in pastels on canvas, weathered boards, and seashells, were long tables
cakes, pies, cookies, clams and hot dogs – after all, not
everyone can
appreciate steamed crab.
A small stage was set up for singing,
ribbon-awarding and the crowning of a festival queen. A tent next to
the stage
was home for the crab-picking contest, and a few yards away was a
wooden track for the Hog Shoals Derby crab race.
But the favorite crab event was eating
the tasty meat.

Making new names for key things is a good time to revisit what those things look like and mean. I have no major requests for changes to "define", but perhaps someone else does. (I do, however, have a major request for the "let" family, but not a lot of time at the moment to advocate it, unless someone is going to mess with "let" now.) Neil V.

Last year's Spanish Grand Prix winner Pastor Maldonado qualified only 18th for this season's edition of the race on Saturday.
The Venezuelan was not only eliminated in the first leg of qualifying but was also edged out by rookie teammate Valtteri Bottas, who got knocked out in Q1 as well.
"We're having a difficult time with the car at the moment," said Maldonado who started last season's race from pole position. "We were missing a lot of grip which made it difficult to get a good time."
The 28-year-old driver also troubled Jenson Button during the session when he held up the McLaren on the track.
"Massively held up by the Williams in the last sector," Button radioed his team. "(He has) got to get a penalty"
BBC journalist Andrew Benson revealed on his Twitter page that the Williams driver was psyching himself up before the session began.
"He's been shouting at a picture of himself with last year's winning trophy to motivate himself for qually," Benson wrote.
Williams has been struggling this season and is yet to score a point. The team said in a statement that the cars did not have enough pace to proceed further in qualifying.
"Our race pace is more competitive than what we have shown today so we still aim to fight for points in the race," said technical director Mike Coughlan.

People in power have always tried to prevent the common folk from obtaining knowledge that threatens their power. This happened in the 16th century, and it is happening now.
Information advantage has always equalled power.
The group in society that can control what the other groups know and don't know will rise to power in every other aspect. Therefore, information technology has always been policed and even militarized to some extent, by any group that obtains the ability to control it.
It has been the case since the dawn of civilization that some group has told everybody else what the world looks like, how it works, and what happens in it. (Usually, that group is placed at the center of that particular world view in one way or another.) This continues today, with governments all over the world trying to put their spin of events on the newsflow, putting themselves in a good light to literally get away with murder.
The quest for the net's liberty is not a fight for some silly right to download free music. It is much larger than that: it breaks a hegemony that has stood for millennia.

Ask a Mechanic Online and Get Answers to Your Car Questions
Hello I will help you with your question,
There is no adjustment on your clutch it is hydraulic. There is a pedal height adjustment but if the problem you are having is that it is grinding as you try to put it into gear with the engine running but you can shift normally with the engine off then the clutch is not releasing fully due to bypassing in the slave or master cylinder or there is air in the system that needs to be bled out.
The other possibility is that the clutch was not installed properly and the pilot bearing is dragging the tip of the input shaft of the transmission or the transmission was hung from the clutch disc warping the center so the clutch does not release fully.
Let me know what I happening and I will help you get to the bottom of this
Thank you
Can you shift normally with the engine off?
How does the clutch feel? Normal or is all the action down at the floor? Does it seem to let out early if you are in gear and starting out from a stop?

Kellogg Fellows Mark and Noble Named to Lead Institute for Asia and Asian Studies
January 21, 2013 • Kate Cohorst
Kellogg Faculty Fellow Nelson Mark has been appointed acting director of the University's Institute for Asia and Asian Studies. The appointment is effective immediately and runs through July 1, 2014.
"As acting director, I am eager to help develop research and academic programming that drive collaborative scholarship on the many interdisciplinary issues that confront Asia," says Mark, the Alfred C. DeCrane Jr. Professor of International Economics.
The Institute for Asia and Asian Studies is a key piece of Notre Dame's commitment to international studies, notes Nick Entrikin, vice president and associate provost for internationalization.
"The institute provides the University a great opportunity to make important contributions toward improved understanding of this culturally rich and geopolitically significant region, both by making investments in faculty and by promoting student engagement in Asia-focused scholarship," he says.
The University has also appointed Kellogg Faculty Fellow Jonathan Noble, assistant provost for internationalization, Asia, to serve as acting executive director of the institute under Mark's leadership.
Core Pursuits of New Institute
Endowed by a gift from the RM Liu Foundation, the Institute for Asia and Asian Studies creates a centralized infrastructure to enhance the University's portfolio of ongoing scholarship and programming in Asian studies.
The institute will focus on four core pursuits:
Supporting the University goal of offering an unsurpassed education in Asian studies and for preparing students for leadership roles in a changing global landscape;
Contributing to a better understanding of the particular economic, political, social, cultural, ethical, and religious issues facing Asia through collaborative and multidisciplinary scholarship;
Developing Asia-focused initiatives that build on Notre Dame's signature research strengths and contribute to a more positive flow of information, commerce, and understanding between Asia and the rest of the world; and
Solidifying Notre Dame's reputation as the world's premier Catholic research university by developing a strong and visible institutional presence in Asia.
"The role and impact Asia has on all of us, both directly and indirectly, is enormous and will continue to remain relevant at least through our lifetimes," says RM Liu Foundation President Justin Liu '00. "Our goal is to establish a world class, renowned, and multi-disciplinary institute that leverages Notre Dame's strengths and that is consistent with the University's overarching mission."
International Reputation of Scholars
As a noted scholar of international macroeconomics and the macroeconomics of China, Mark is well suited to play this important role in establishing the institute, says John T. McGreevy, I. A. O'Shaughnessy Dean of the College of Arts and Letters.
The author of a textbook titled International Macroeconomics and Finance: Theory and Empirical Methods, Mark currently teaches an advanced undergraduate course called the Economics of China. His recent research focuses on understanding that nation's high saving rate.
"China's remarkable record of investment-led economic growth has been financed by an astonishingly high national saving rate exceeding 50 percent of GDP," Mark says, "but the high saving rate also contributes to trade and current account imbalances which have become a source of international tension.
"As China continues its transition towards a market-based economy, policy makers seek to rebalance the engine of growth away from investment towards consumption, which would require less saving by the Chinese and more saving by Americans. Hence," Mark says, "a necessary precondition to have a productive conversation about growth re-balancing would be to have a good understanding of why the Chinese save so much."
Marks' research has been published in the American Economic Review, the Review of Economic Studies, the Journal of Monetary Economics, the Journal of International Economics and the Journal of Money, Credit, and Banking.
In addition to serving as an assistant provost, Noble is director of Notre Dame International's Asia office in Beijing, China. His research focuses on contemporary Chinese culture and society, and he has published numerous articles, essays, and translations, including translations of film scripts for Blind Shaft, which won the Silver Bear in the 2003 Berlin International Film Festival, and the Chinese blockbusters The Assembly and Aftershock.
Noble received a PhD in East Asian languages and literatures from The Ohio State University in 2003. He was also one of just 20 young China scholars in the United States selected to participate in the Public Intellectuals Program (2005–08) sponsored by the National Committee on US–China Relations.

So it seems that Southern Baptist Denny Burk has accused me of "high-handed treason against the Lord Jesus" based on my Not All Like That Christians Project video:
Despite their confident assertions to the contrary, Christianity is incompatible with homosexual behavior. The Bible is clear about this, and I won't rehearse all the arguments here. But I do encourage readers to check out the key texts for themselves: Rom. 1:26-27; 1 Cor. 6:9-11; 1 Tim. 1:10. They are unambiguous. That is why so many of the voices in these videos have to set aside biblical authority before they endorse homosexual practice. Tony Jones, for instance, says that the Bible is a "theological document," not an historic document or a science book or a rule book. In so many words, he's telling you, "Yes, yes, I know what the Bible says, but you don't have to believe that in order to be a Christian." This is high-handed treason against the Lord Jesus. via Dan Savage launches "Not All Like That" | Denny Burk.
As I've warned my conservative brothers and sisters in Christ before, Denny had better beware of committing the unforgivable sin of blaspheming the Holy Spirit. If God's Spirit is doing a new thing, but they claim it's the devil, well, let's just say that the stakes are high.

Callaghan: SA members must reach out past Carrier Dome for full ESF representation in assembly
As Student Association elections continue this week, campaigning has made it over to the Stumpie Quad. To the surprise of some SUNY-ESF students, not only can they cast votes in the election, but ESF students can also become SA members.
It's a disconnect from both sides. State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry students need to be involved and have their voices heard in SA, but SA members have to reach out to Stumpies to let them know they are part of the parcel.
SA designates six seats for ESF students, and only two spots are filled. One of these members also serves on the SA cabinet and is, to date, the longest-serving cabinet member in SA.
With that, ESF involvement should be increased. SA is the "official student governing body of Syracuse University and SUNY ESF undergraduate students," but it's severely lacking ESF representation. In all reality, this lack of representation is from a lack of knowledge, and not a lack of interest.
There is a large group of ESF students who participate in clubs and organizations at SU, joining everything from the SU Outing Club to the SU chapter of the United States Green Building Council. In addition, ESF students study at SU — whether they are required by course curriculum or take classes that interest them.
SU and ESF are extremely interconnected, yet this lack of representation clearly shows that SA participation is unknown. While SA members are beginning to think about their Stumpie neighbors across the street, an expanded effort of communication could do ESF good.
Allie Curtis, current SA vice president, commented on this gap via email. She noted though our institutions are separate entities, we need to focus on similarities and involvement.
"We have a slight increase in ESF representation, but not enough. The tagline is not just for ESF involvement in organizations at SU, but involvement in policy making decisions and campus initiatives that affect us all," Curtis said.
At ESF, our connection with SU requires we have a voice in SA affairs. Through ESF's Undergraduate Student Association, greatly similar to SA, students work on ESF's small campus, but when moving over to our larger neighbor, only two members represent ESF.
USA has an ESF/SU liaison, but three people representing a whole college make up a startlingly small amount when four more positions hang empty. Jenn Bacolores, SA's chair of the Board of Elections and Membership, said the disconnected relationship between ESF and SU is unfortunate. "My hope by the end of my term was to connect with the ESF student body through USA," Bacolores said.
What it comes down to is this current representation is not enough. The attempts to communicate between the student bodies are not enough. Caleb Marsh, environmental studies major at ESF and SA assembly representative, said this lack of knowledge and communication is the heart of the problem.
"There is a palpable disconnect. By the time I graduate next spring, my goal is to get two more ESF students in SA. There needs to be a direct effect on ESF campus," he said.
Marsh, as an ESF representative, refused to give any SA presidential candidate an endorsement. No candidate represented the interests of ESF to the degree necessary to receive an endorsement, Marsh said.
Starting next semester, Marsh plans to begin tabling on the ESF campus to increase Stumpie awareness and involvement. Visibility is a start, but not all that can be done.
To increase involvement, SA can reach out to the numerous organizations on the ESF campus, including forging a stronger tie with USA. Students can be made aware through these organizations, as well as through social media and other forms of mass communication.
If SA can communicate with SU, why not walk to the other side of the Carrier Dome and work with students they already represent?

Nine specialist rape centres in England and Wales are conducting the first ever official research into the problem.
Senior police officers have expressed concerns that there are no genuine statistics on drug assisted rape.
For the study, in cases where a victim alleges or police officers suspect drugs have played a part, screening for a range of chemicals will take place.
Derbyshire CID's Detective Chief Superintendent Dave Gee, who is spearheading the initiative called Operation Matise, said: "There is a lack of valid data around which actually shows the prevalence of this kind of offence.
"What we are trying to do is put together some empirical data which will actually tell us the depth of concern around this type of offence."
The Roofie organisation, which was set up to help victims of drug rape, says it has received around 6,000 calls from women and men since 1997.
Testing kits
Newspapers have carried campaigns about the subject and even offered free testing kits so that drinks can be monitored during a night out.
But Mr Gee warned: "To my knowledge, and having consulted the Forensic Science Service on this, there is no single definitive test which can identify specific drugs in drinks or bodily fluids. It is a far more complicated issue than many people realise.
"There are one or two products on the market which say that they can do this, but also in the small print say that they cannot do this.
"I wouldn't like people to be buying these kits, using them in public places and feeling that they are safe, because that may not be the case."
A campaign warning of the dangers of leaving drinks unattended was also recently launched by Staffordshire Police.
But while there have been proven cases of spiked drinks being used to subdue victims, no reliable figures have ever been released.
As a result, the latest research is expected to produce the first ever official statistics on the subject by next spring.
Operation Matise will begin in August or September, subject to
approval from ethics watchdogs.
The following forces will help collate data: the Metropolitan Police, Greater Manchester, Lancashire, West Midlands, Northumbria, Leicestershire and Derbyshire.

Notts Outlaws meet Kent Spitfires at Trent Bridge on Wednesday evening. Both sides have already played one fixture in this season's Yorkshire Bank 40 competition.
On Sunday the Outlaws defeated the Northants Steelbacks by 83 runs at Wantage Road, whilst the Spitfires were successful with a thrilling last ball 1-run victory over Warwickshire Bears at Edgbaston 24 hours later.
Both sides batted first in their weekend wins, with James Taylor scoring 108 and Samit Patel 95 in the Outlaws win, whilst an undefeated 98 from Brendan Nash anchored the Spitfires innings.
Head to head
In domestic one-day competition Notts have met Kent on 46 occasions, winning 19 times but losing 21 of the other matches. Five contests have been washed out and in 1969 the two counties produced a tie.
At Trent Bridge the sides have met on 24 occasions, with the home side leading 13-8, with a couple of matches ruined by the weather, in addition to the one tie.
Last Meeting
The last time that Notts and Kent were paired together in the same one-day qualifying group was in 2010 when rain ruined both matches.
At Trent Bridge the conditions had already restricted the contest to just 10 overs each. Kent had a score of 78-2 on the board after just 6.1 overs when the wet weather returned and wiped out the rest of the match.
The return at Canterbury was limited to just 16 overs per side, with Kent emphatically coming out on top. Darren Stevens scored an unbeaten 49 as his side made 135-3.
Nottinghamshire's reply floundered from an early stage and they could only post 93-9.
The 1969 Player's County League match at Trent Bridge officially resulted in a tie. Rain reduced the Kent innings to just 27 overs, with a score of 134-9 being posted. Notts revised target was 112 in 20 overs but they ended on 111-7, with England's Derek Underwood taking 4-16 for the visitors.
The 1993 match at Trent Bridge featured a number of individual and team records (below) but was also memorable for the introduction of coloured clothing to our domestic one-day game.
Notts wore their green strip for the first time as they pulled off a stunning run chase, overhauling Kent's 264-9 in sensational fashion, reaching their target in just 35.2 overs.
Nottinghamshire's highest score at Trent Bridge is the 296-6 they posted in 1989, whilst Kent's highest at Trent Bridge is 317-8, scored in 2002.
Paul Johnson's 167* in 1993 is the highest score by a Notts batsman, with Kent's Trevor Ward making 131 in the same match.
Chris Cairns' 6-52 in 1993 are the best bowling figures by a Notts bowler, whilst Kevin Saxelby and Chris Lewis are the other home bowlers to take five wickets in an innings against Kent at Trent Bridge.
Kevin Jarvis claimed 5-24 in 1985, the best for Kent.
The 1993 match also saw two outstanding second wicket stands. For Notts, Paul Johnson and Tim Robinson put on an unbroken 213, a county record stand for any wicket. Coincidentally, in that same match, Kent's Trevor Ward and Carl Hooper put on 218 for the second wicket also.
Played For Them Both
Current Notts favourite Ben Phillips began his career with Kent, making 27 first class and 26 one-day appearances for them between 1996-1998.
Others to have represented both counties have been Dave Halfyard, Greg Blewett, Paul Strang, Rob Ferley, Mark Ealham, Mark Davies and Charlie Shreck.
Jimmy Adams is the current Head Coach of Kent. The former West Indian Test star played for Nottinghamshire during the 1994 season.
Michael Lumb has scored 4997 runs in List-A cricket (one-day) from 169 inns with an average of 31.62.
Alex Hales has scored 1469 List-A runs for Nottinghamshire from 43 innings with an average of 35.82.
Team News
Despite his selection for the England Lions match which begins against New Zealand at Grace Road on Thursday morning, James Taylor has been permitted to play for Notts Outlaws the previous evening.
Mick Newell, Notts director of cricket, has indicated that the eleven players that were successful in the opening group match at Northampton are likely to feature again.

What is Mapping?
Learning Outcomes Covenant
Goal and Scope
The goal of the learning outcome mapping project is to assure that the graduate of each degree program has sufficient opportunity to achieve the ten MDC learning outcomes. The project expectation is that all ten outcomes will be reflected throughout the degree program as a whole. The project is designed to coincide with the MDC Fifth-Year Interim Report due to the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools in 2009-2 (January 2010); however, the project is integral to the Miami Dade College strategic plan and its focus on student success. The project will continue as an ongoing cycle of college-wide outcome assessment and course and program review to strengthen student performance.
Learning Outcomes Assessment
The Assessment and Mapping projects together allow Disciplines and Programs to identify the extent to which the College Learning Outcomes are being delivered to students throughout the curriculum and in co-curricular activities. College-wide assessment helps guide Disciplines and Programs as they review their offerings and update their maps so that the maps accurately reflect the level and scope at which the courses address the College Learning Outcomes.
The curriculum mapping project is divided into three phases leading to implementation in 2009-2 (January 2010). While the phases are described below, disciplines/schools may move at a slower or a faster pace. Phases One and Two are for informational and review purposes only and do not require any competency revision to be made to existing courses for the purposes of curriculum mapping. MDC learning outcome(s) for new courses must be identified and enacted through the competencies and must be intentionally stated and assessed in all offerings of the course when the new course is implemented. All courses will be mapped regardless of whether approved "official" competencies are available.
Phase One (to March 2008)
Under the guidance of the discipline/school "lead" Academic Dean and with the assistance of directors/chairs and the
facilitation of Conveners/Co-Conveners, the faculty of the discipline/school establish a strategic sequence to map the MDC
learning outcomes to course competencies.
Phase Two (to March 2009)
The remaining courses are mapped as above and are placed into the program maps.
Phase Three (to December 2009)
Competencies, course descriptions, and requirements are revised as necessary to meet the project goal and are expedited through the ALC and CASSC approval paths.
Implementation—2009—2 (January 2010)
The learning outcome(s) established for the course and the related assessment(s) are specified in course syllabi and are
incorporated into all offerings of that course.
Faculty Syllabi
Faculty are urged to inform students of the learning outcome(s) they intentionally address by listing those outcomes in their individual course syllabus.

Hubble space telescope images confirm a star is eating one of its close-in planets.
The planet, called WASP-12b, has only about 10 million years left before the jumbo-sized world, cooking at 2,800 degrees in a tight orbit, is consumed by the star.
"We see a huge cloud of material around the planet which is escaping and will be captured by the star. We have identified chemical elements never before seen on planets outside our own solar system," says observation team leader Carole Haswell of Great Britain's The Open University, in a statement.
The observation, reported in The Astrophysical Journal Letters journal, confirms a February calculation in the journal Nature. Such atmospheric cannibalism has been observed among double stars, but astronomers have never caught a star in the act of eating one of its planets until now. WASP-12b, discovered in 2008, weighs about 40% more than Jupiter and has swollen into a football-shape under its star's gravitational pull.
In related Hubble news, a team led by Barbara McArthur of The University of Texas at Austin McDonald Observatory reported Monday that three planets orbiting the star Upsilon Andromedae, follow paths tilted 30 degrees away from each other, unlike planets in our solar system.
"The findings mean that future studies of exoplanetary systems will be more complicated. Astronomers can no longer assume all planets orbit their parent star in a single plane," McArthur says, in a statement. ""The premise of planetary evolution so far has been that planetary systems form in the disk and remain relatively co-planar, like our own system, but now we have measured a significant angle between these planets that indicates this isn't always the case."
A study will be published in the June 1 Astrophysical Journal. The team also reported a fourth planet orbits the star much further out than its three already-known, Jupiter-sized, planets.

Polar meteorology
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (February 2013) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Polar meteorology is the study of the atmosphere of Earth's polar regions. Surface temperature inversion is typical of polar environments and leads to the katabatic wind phenomenon. The vertical temperature structure of polar environments tends to be more complex than in mid-latitude or tropical climates.
The collection of polar meteorology data started in 1893 with Fridtjof Nansen during his North Pole expedition. One of the goals of the expedition was to make detailed meteorological and early oceanographic measurements. The measurements made from Nansen's ship, which was named Fram, were used by Vagn Walfrid Ekman to develop the theory of the turning of surface flow with friction (the Ekman spiral). [1]
Cold War[edit]
The Cold War acted as a catalyst for progress in polar meteorology. Balloon instruments along the northern borders of the US and Canada were used for atmospheric profiling. North America's air defenses often used instruments carried on balloons to profile the Arctic. Nuclear submarines, which the United States used as a defense mechanism, were equipped with upward looking sonar. The data were later declassified and between 1958-1979 became the baseline for assessing the thinning of ice from the 1980s to the present day.[1] Russia also contributed highly accurate data between 1937 and 1991.
Present day[edit]
Today, submarine mapping and measurements have been drastically reduced. One classic way to measuring ice thickness is to drill a hole in the ice and analyze the ice obtained. There are also many more complex methods and devices dedicated to measuring and keeping track of weather conditions in polar areas. These include ice mass balance buoys, upward looking sonar from under-ice buoys, and satellites. Global warming has increased interest in polar meteorology. This is because most of Earth's snow and ice are in polar regions, and these areas are expected to be the most affected by the snow/ice-surface albedo feedback effect. Therefore, if increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration causes global warming, then polar regions should warm faster than other locations on Earth.[2]
Topics of interest[edit]
Atmosphere sea ice/ocean interaction[edit]
Interaction between the atmosphere, ice and ocean is confined to the atmospheric boundary layer, which is mainly influenced by surface characteristics. In polar regions, these are sea ice roughness and sea ice concentration, which greatly influence surface temperature distribution. Wind speed and direction, the temperature of the air, and the location of the wind contact are other factors.[3] Both sea ice and wind have great impact on the atmospheric boundary layer, which is often used to measure conditions in polar areas.
Polar clouds and precipitation[edit]
The atmospheric portion of the hydrological cycle in polar regions plays an important role in that:[3]
- the balance of polar ice masses is inseparably linked to precipitation,
- clouds modify the radiation transfer,
- the release of latent heat modifies the temperature of the air, hence circulations.
Carbon dioxide and methane[edit]
Carbon dioxide (C02) is of particular interest in polar meteorology because it affects the melting of sea ice. Human activity releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere from burning oil, coal and natural gas. A dozen pounds of Arctic sea ice disappears for every pound of carbon dioxide released. This highlights the heating power of carbon dioxide, which pumps 100,000 times more energy into our climate than was given off when the oil, coal or natural gas was burned.[4] White Arctic ice, currently at its lowest level in recent history, is causing more absorption. Prof Wadhams, in a recent BBC article, calculates that this absorption of the sun's rays is having an effect "the equivalent of about 20 years of additional CO2 being added by man". The Cambridge University expert says that the Arctic ice cap is "heading for oblivion".[5]
Methane, a potent greenhouse gas, introduces a significant positive feedback as global warming leads to the retreat of vast permafrost regions in the northern hemisphere. As permafrost retreats, more areas become emitters of methane. Estimations of the methane emissions from northern swamps vary strongly due to (1) the extensive variability of methane emission between and within different swamp areas, (2) the very limited knowledge of these fluxes for various types of soils, and (3) the lack of representative data for vast areas like the enormous swamps, e.g., in Sibiria.[6] Recent advances now allow sensors to directly measure turbulent methane fluxes from naturally emitting surfaces. A fast response methane sensor can also be installed in research aircraft, like the Polar 5 airplane of the Alfred Wegener Institute.

25 March 1961, Kobe, Japan. Makoto is the son of one of Japans best jazz pianists, Minoru Ozone, and has a prodigious technique and a wide knowledge of jazz piano styles. He started on the organ at the age of four, but took up the piano in his teens after hearing Oscar Peterson. In 1980 he went to the USA to study composing and arranging at the Berklee College Of Music, and played a Carnegie Hall recital to open the Kool Jazz Festival of 1983. On Ozones arrival at Berklee he immediately impressed Gary Burton and was playing regularly with his quartet in 1985 when he was also playing in a duo with Michel Petrucciani. Alongside his jazz activities he has extensively studied classical piano playing. John Scofield joined Makotos regular cohorts Kiyoshi Kitagawa and Clarence Penn on three tracks for 1997s The Trio.

Syzygium: A Jumble of Jambul
The Jambul tree makes you wonder what people were thinking.
For a half a century or so the United States Department of Agriculture brought into Florida many species the state now considers problem plants. Jambul is one of them. It was introduced into south Florida as a shade tree, not once but three times, 1911, 1912 and 1920. It took 71 years for the species to become a naturalized pest and now a century later full-grown specimens can be found the warm south of the state to central Florida. Not bad for a tropical tree.
The species has been introduced into most warm areas of the world. However, in Hawaii it probably got there by migrating mynah birds and was first recorded on the islands in 1870. That state is trying to eradicate it. Jambul was also cultivated throughout the Caribbean and got to Puerto Rico in the 1920s, where it's naturalized as well. Because of its later introduction there it is one of the few genera in the Caribbean that is not used much in local folk medicine (though very present in native India medicine.) As a forager there is little I can do about the genus except my civic duty and eat as many of its fruit as possible to reduce its spread. Actually there are at least two species of Syzygium naturalized in Florida, the S. cumini that bears dark purple fruit, above, and S. jambos, below, which has white to red fruit. Both species are called the Jambul tree (jam-BULL.)
A native of south Asia and Australia Jambul produces food, wood products, and materials for folk medicine. The dark fruit of the S. cumini tastes and smells like a ripe apricot but looks like a stretched black olive, very juicy and to me puckery like a chokecherry. The S. jambos has pearish-shaped fruit that ranges from white to green to yellow to red. Its flavor is more like an apple/green pepper cross with a rose scent and a slightly bitter aftertaste. It's skin is thin, waxy, and the hollow core contains a small amount of inedible fluff.
Jambul fruit, which are high in vitamins C, can be eaten out of hand or made into sauces, tarts and jams. They make a good fruit sherbet, syrup and squash. They can be made into vinegar, wine or distilled, one native spirit being "jambava." It is also a good honey tree. Harvesting of fruit in its native range is in summer or early fall. Here in Florida it tends to be in spring to summer. The leaves make good livestock feed and oil in the leaves has been used to scent soaps and perfumes. The bark yields a brown dye and has tannin for leather making. The wood is very durable to water. It's used used to make beams, rafters, telephone poles, oars, ship masts, boats, and water troughs, among many more uses.
Often planted as a windbreak, the S. cumini trees can reach full height in 40 years, which in their native rage is near 100 feet. In Florida it is half that. It can have a crown 18 to 40 feet wide and often has multiple trunks radiating from near the ground. The Jambul can also grow in wet and dry areas as long as it has sun. The bark on the lower part of the tree is discolored, rough textured, cracked and flaking; young bark higher up is smooth and light gray. The paired, opposite leaves have a hint of turpentine when crushed. The evergreen leaves are two to ten inches long, one to four inches wide, oblong in shape, oval or elliptic, can be blunt or tapering to a point at the tips. The leaves start out pinkish then mature leathery and glossy, dark green above, light green below. Each leaf has a yellowish midrib. The S. jambos tends to be shorter, perhaps 45 feet at best in its native range, its leaves are more lance shaped, and the bark a smooth gray.
Medicinally the seeds of the Jambul have been used to control blood sugar levels and the leaves and bark high blood pressure. Incidentally, we regularly used another member of this genus, S. aromaticum. Its dried flower buds form the spice we know as "cloves."
As is often the case the botanical name is Greek tainted by Latin. Syzygium is said to refer to the tree's paired leaves, one also sees "twin" leaves. The base word, however, is zygos (zi-GHOS) the yoke. A person's spouse in Greece is called my Zizigos (ZEE-zee-ghos) my yoke mate. So the Greek speaker would be strongly tempted to pronounce Syzygium as zee-ZEE-ee-yum. Anglicized Latin would have it sizz-ZYE-gee-um.
The species name cumini, said KOU-mee-nee, is from the Greek kyminon (KEY-mee-on) or in modern Greek Kymino (KEY-mee-no) meaning the spice cumin. Jambos (jam-BOS) is the Malaysian name for rose-apple though it comes from Sanskrit's Jambudvīpa, which means rose apple land.
Green Deane's "Itemized" Plant Profile
IDENTIFICATION: S. cumini is a tree to 50 feet, S. jambos smaller, both often multiple trunks, bark on the lower part of S. cumini is discolored, rough textured, cracked and flaking, young bark higher up is smooth and light gray, bark on S. jambos smooth and gray. Paired opposite leaves have a hint of turpentine when crushed. The evergreen leaves of the S. cumini are two to ten inches long, one to four inches wide, oblong in shape, oval or elliptic, can be blunt or tapered to a point at tips, leaves of the S. jambos more lance shaped. Leaves start out pinkish then mature leathery and glossy, dark green above, light green below. Each leaf has a yellowish midrib.
TIME OF YEAR: Summer and fall in native range, late spring and summer in Florida area.
ENVIRONMENT: Likes sun, can tolerate wet and dry conditions, does not tolerate freezes unless full grown then iffy.
METHOD OF PREPARATION: Fruit out of hand, or use as any fruit as jelly, sauce, syrup, wine, spirits and vinegar.

What people say about us:
Thank you for the driver. It works! I'm amazed and very excited. It had been so frustrating trying to use any multitracking program with my ibook before this. Well done. - Thomas (California)
Thanks a lot! It works excellent! - Olav (Norway)
Just though you'd like to know... This driver is working great with Digital Performer 3.0 UA-30, iMac 400mhz 512mb, OS 9.1. One thing though, when I first installed the driver I got a message: "This driver may on be compatible, etc, etc..." I just ignored it. Works fine. Thanks again. - Michael (Florida)
THANK YOU FOR BEING SO PROMPT AND THOUROUGH WITH THE UPDATES. YOU HAVE TRUELY MASTERED CUSTOMER SERVICE. - Marty (Michigan)
I just wanted to say thanks for the latest version of the driver. Since I bought Version 1 several months ago, it has improved considerably (not that I was unhappy with it in the first place). I was impressed by the true hotswapability of Version 2, but now the latency is so low as to no longer be apparent. I am almost shocked by this because, when I first looked into using my iMac to record audio, all the 'authoritative' sources said it was not worth the effort - that I would never get the quality I was looking for and I would be plagued by latency. I am using Logic Silver and a UA-30 and I am really thrilled by the latest results on audio recording. But I'm probably going to get a G4, as my 350Mz iMac is struggling a little. Has ASIO reached perfection? I also wanted to say how much I appreciate the free upgrades. It seems to be a hallmark of German firms to do this - as you may know, Logic do the same, to a degree. - Brian (UK)
I'd like to thank you guys for a product that has made me very happy! - Merlin (Canada)
Thanks for creating such a great driver (potentially!) with such a low latentcy. It is a saving grace for us musicians who use the new mac powerbooks! - James (New York)
I bought your ASIO driver and have been using it with great satisfaction so far. Thanks for your constant upgrade and support - Hwan (Massachusetts)
Thanks, the driver works perfect with my imic!!! - Pedro (Spain)
Thanks a lot!!! Now my usb audio is working all right on my mac! You offer a great service. - Valerio (Italy)
Just a note to let you know that I have bought some new equipment and I have sold my Roland UA-30 so I won't be needing any more updates. I always liked dealing with you and your company and I really appreciated your support. Thanks and continued success to you and Propogamma!! - Dave (Kentucky)
I just wanted to let you know, I bought the Mac ASIO driver a few weeks ago, and had no luck getting it to work at the time. I am using a Ti powerbook 500 with an iMic. I bought the driver to allow 24 bit throughput, and hoped to clear up the clicks I was having during recording. I am using Cubase 5.o r3 pb1, and loving it. The latest upgrade made it work beautifully, and I just wanted to say thanks! - Mike (Washington)
Thank you! Thank you! Your ASIO driver worked flawlessly with my UA-30. I will now upgrade from MacOS 9.1 to 9.2. I just couldn't get the SoundManager to play my files via the UA-30 under 9.2. Now I may have a chance. Again, thank you for a job well done!!! - Philip (California)
Thanks again for your prompt customer service and support getting it installed properly. This level of service is all too rare these days, especially online, and I really appreciate it. - David (Arkansas)
As usual- you are right, it was the energy setting- i found a group of "Mac optimizing" things at a cubase site- and turned off the energy settings to "never" (I never save energy!!) and that did it- I now have 7ms latency, the graphics track along with the playback..and you are a bleeding genius! thank you for your patience with a Mac idiot as well... I am going to have to relearn a lot of things with the Mac..but I think 6 months-to a year from now, when everything is running in X, it will be the right choice. I can finally get back to work. John (New Zealand)
Der Key ist angekommen & funktioniert. Vielen Dank nochmal, der Treiber bewegt mit dem UA30 mehr als Welten. - Chris (Germany)
Thanks for the USB-Audio Drivers. They worked great first time and installation was a breeze. Nick (UK)
The new driver is incredible. I have 4ms latency with it on a win 98 SE system with 600MB RAM PIII 733Mhz. Tremendous! - Cadence (New Jersey)
And thanks to you for supporting the Griffin iMic and other low-cost USB audio interfaces. It's great that we can now achive fast VST performance without having to spend hundreds of dollars on pro audio gear. I picked up an iMic today for $35US and had it running with your driver within an hour. - Boris (California)
With B4, it works great at Fast speed. ... I'm gonna buy your great drivers! Congratulations for your work ! -Thomas (France)
