PowerShares DB Agriculture (DBA):
10/26/2012 Closing Price: 28.81
Intermediate Term Trend is bullish.
Current Position: FLAT
Current Downside Targets = 28.59 – 28.34
Projected Weekly Range: .68
Trading 185,000 Shares
- DBA trade losses since 07/25/2012 equal $99,000 or 0.20%.
- DBA is a comprehensive agricultural ETF. Holdings include fairly equally-weighted futures contracts in sugar #11, live cattle, corn, soybeans, cocoa, coffee, lean hogs, wheat, and cattle feeder.
- Following a strong bullish OVB, last week failed to violate either the high or low, creating an inside vertical bar. Although price action was bearish last week, closing below the midrange, below the open and below the previous week's close, the 78% chance of trading 29.47 before 28.57 still exists. Failure to follow though is certainly a bearish indicator, especially when paired with Friday's close in the bottom 3% of the weekly range. If the OVB fails and price action leads to lower trading this week, expect strong support to appear within our downside target range.
IPath DJ-UBS Grains (JJG):
10/26/2012 Closing Price: 58.39
Intermediate Term Trend is bullish.
Current Position: FLAT
Current Downside Targets = 56.94 – 55.80
Projected Weekly Range: 2.16
Trading 87,000 Shares
- JJG total trade profits since 07/25/2012 equal $38,280 or 0.08%.
- JJG is concentrated in agricultural grain futures, holding 46% soybeans, 30% wheat and 24% corn.
- As expected, price action followed through last week with slightly higher trading yet largely within the previous week's range. For over a month JJG has trended sideways, failing to establish a clear direction. Sideways movement occurs when the market is unsure about current price levels, usually correcting or rallying significantly. In most cases, the longer prices remain within a confined range, the larger the break-out movement. Price action was bullish divergent with a higher high and higher low, yet bearish weekly close. Last week formed a VRCB due to largely equal buyers and sellers, and also reduced trading volume.
SPDR Gold Shares (GLD):
10/26/2012 Closing Price: 165.93
Intermediate Term Trend is bullish.
Current Position: FLAT
Current Downside Target = 162.41
Projected Weekly Range: 3.07
Trading 35,000 Shares
- GLD total trade profits since 07/25/2012 equal $413,695 or 0.83%.
- GLD's single holding is gold bullion.
- Trading was as predicted last week. GLD fell further on the current correction, confirming the bearish price action with a weekly close below the midrange, below the previous open and below the previous close. This correction was expected due to the reversal of volatility and buying-selling pressure indicators nearly a month ago. The formation of dual weekly Volatility Reduced Compression Bars at the top of a fast rally is an exceptionally strong indicator of a correction to follow. Trading should definitely be lower this week, but the late intraweek rally could result in sideways movement. Currently approaching our downside price target, we expect GLD to find strong support above $161.
10/26/2012 Closing Price: 44.93
Intermediate Term Trend is bullish.
Current Position: FLAT
Current Downside Target = 44.51
Projected Weekly Range: 1.44

- JJC total trade profits since 07/25/2012 equal $379,840 or 0.76%.
- JJC is an ETN that holds only a single commodity, the Copper High Grade futures contract.
- JJC closed exactly on our monthly price prediction of 44.93 last Friday. This price represents the downside range movement we thought JJC would experience in October. Our current downside target of 44.51 is yet to be achieved, but should be realized this coming week. Price action certainly followed through last week, trading significantly lower as expected. Price action was bearish and confirmed by Friday's close in the bottom 10% of the weekly range. Although directional movement was visible to the downside, strong buying pressure resulted in formation of a VRCB. Trading volume was above average which indicates this strong support could potentially follow though this coming week.
United States Oil (USO):
10/26/2012 Closing Price: 31.79
Intermediate Term Trend is bearish.
Current Position: FLAT
Current Upside Target = 35.85 – 37.87*Extended Upside Objective
Projected Weekly Range: 1.65
Trading 100,000 Shares
- USO total trade losses since 07/25/2012 equal $160,590 or 0.32%.
- USO seeks to replicate the spot price of WTI light, sweet crude oil and primarily holds futures contracts.
- After four weeks of stagnant trading, USO finally made a move in a clear direction. Breaking through all levels of support, Tuesday gap lower-opened following Monday's bearish trading. The remainder of the week stayed relatively steady, closing out the week at 31.79. The previous week's price action and very bearish close indicated last week's trading should be to the downside. Bearish price action says trading should be lower this week, yet the short-term appears to have found support above $31. We are currently flat and are evaluating optimal trade entries.
United States Natural Gas (UNG):
10/26/2012 Closing Price: 21.89

Current Position: LONG @ 19.83 on 09/25/12. STOP @ 21.52
Upcoming Cover: COVER 22,500 (15%) @ 23.57
Current Upside Target = 23.57 – 24.11
Projected Weekly Range: 1.56
Trading 150,000 Shares; COVERED 22,500 (15%) @ 21.98
- UNG total trade profits since 07/25/2012 equal $400,625 or 0.80%.
- Initial trade risk was $142,500 or .29%. Current trade risk is $0. Current trade profits are $311,025 or .62%.
- UNG seeks to replicate the price movement of NYMEX Natural Gas by holding futures contracts.
- For the third week, UNG has failed to trade 23.57, our next profit-taking price. Strong resistance and heavy selling pressure has kept prices down, trading below the previous week's low. This has resulted in the setup for a correction to be confirmed this week, assuming 21.73 trades. Price action was bearish and confirmed by Friday close below the midrange, below the previous close and below the open. Our current trade exit price of 21.52 is only 37 cents away from Friday's close. At this price, total trade profits will be $263,850 or 0.53%. The current trade entry was based on a very profitable I.T. pattern that occurs less than twice a year: buying the first correction following a bullish trend reversal.
10/26/2012 Closing Price: 128.47
Intermediate Term Trend is bullish.
Current Position: LONG @ 128.87 on 10/08/12. STOP LIMIT @ 128.87 or 127.72
Upcoming Cover Price: 132.20; COVER 10,000 (20%)
Current Upside Targets = 132.20
Projected Weekly Range: 1.67

- FXE total trade profits since 07/25/2012 equal $423,800 or 0.85%.
- Initial trade risk was $71,000 or .14%. Current trade risk is $31,700 or 0.06%. Current trade losses are $1,700 or 0.01%.
- FXE seeks to track the movement of the Euro currency.
- Although price action from the previous week indicated trading should be higher, strong selling pressure resulted in a much lower than expected weekly close. Price action was bearish confirmed, making new lows and violating the previous week's low. FXE is yet to form a correction since the July rally and our most recent long position was entered to capitalize on this information. Failure to trade higher has resulted in our stop price remaining at 127.72, within our projected weekly range and likely to trade this week. If the position is stopped out, total trade losses will amount to $31,700 or 0.06%, an amount roughly eight times smaller than our average winning trade.

- EEM total trade losses since 07/25/2012 equal $7,560 or 0.02%.
- EEM seeks to replicate the performance of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index by investing in the underlying international securities.
- Following what could possibly be called a "predictable" pattern, EEM reversed directions for the sixth week in a row. Trading was lower than the previous week, forming bearish confirmed price action. EEM has remained very choppy since late September, failing to move in a single direction for more than a week. This type of pattern is common among markets with heavy investor uncertainty. Price action indicates trading should be lower this week, yet following the current pattern, trading will likely be the opposite. Such high levels of volatility reduce the probability of accurate price predictions; for this reason, we maintain our flat position.
10/26/2012 Closing Price: 141.35
Intermediate Term Trend is bullish.
Current Position: FLAT
Current Upside Targets: 154.21 – 159.39
Projected Weekly Range: 3.44
Trading 39,000 Shares
- SPY total trade profits since 07/25/2012 equal $71,799 or 0.14%.
- SPY seeks to track the movement of the S&P 500 Index.
- Price action and close-strength indicators followed through as expected last week, resulting in significantly lower trading for SPY. Although trading ranges over the last month had remained relatively stable, the weekly closes indicated market weakness. Friday's close is considered an intellectual indicator of investor sentiment, while overall trading ranges are often more emotional. Supporting this is the very high correlation of the weekly close, relative to its range, and the following week's trading direction, especially on Monday. Close-strength indicators are currently lower than in April, even though market prices are higher. This bullish divergence indicates an overall systematic weakness with equity markets. Over the last eleven weeks, ETF analysis and trading has resulted in $1,459,989 (2.92%) in total profits, $1,213,399 of which is closed and locked-in.

Working Group
Visualization Systems
Head: Steffen Prohaska
Assistant: Saida Grase
Projects (Current | Archive)
Visualization Systems
The focus of our research group is to provide foundations for integrated software systems presenting various visualization methods to the user in an interactive and consistent way. Today, the way visualization systems are designed needs to face the challenge of increasing data size and data complexity. In our current research we devise solutions to these challenges.
Visualization systems should provide
- a graphical user interface to specify and control a visualization
- a library of routines solving general development tasks
- internal data representations and input/output routines
- means for automating predefined tasks; for example a scripting language
- mechanisms for user extensibility.
Optimal algorithms, external memory algorithms, hierachical methods, and utilization of modern hardware are approaches to handling massive data sizes. Most solutions are based on specific data structures. Visualization systems need to adjust to continue to provide a general platform.
New interaction methods and extraction of data specific features are approaches to dealing with the increasing data complexity. Complex internal structure, time-dependent data, multivariate data, and collections of related data sets need to be effictively visualized and analyzed. Many proposed solutions require changes in the way visualization systems are designed.
Results of our research are available through the software systems Amira and Biosphere3D.

Great sweater
This is a comfortable, cute sweater. I usually wear a medium, but often need a large with Chadwicks. The color I wanted wasn't available in a large, so I decided to take a chance & ordered a medium. It's actually too big, & I need to exchange it for a small! Not what I was expecting, but maybe this sweater runs large. Very large!
East Hartford, CT
Love this sweater!
I've bought this sweater several times. Love the fit (PM), and it's also very versatile.Prefer it in light colors, since darker colors tend to fade fast. Other than that, a great buy!
Wilson, NC
Cute and comfortable
It does run a little large but not large enough that I bothered to exchange it. I wear and bought a PM and it's a little bigger than other PM tops and sweaters I own.
Montverde, FL
Mimosa is definitely more orange than it appears online. I also have chocolate and an cream, which were more true to the color online. Love the sweaters but wish I would have chosen something other than mimosa, thought it would be more yellow.
St. Louis, MO
A Wardrobe Winner
Have purchased 12 of them in PS...the only colors I don't have are red and navy. Looking forward to fall colors live olive green and burgundy.These sweaters take you through spring, summer and fall...a must have...I hand wash mine and they wash and wear well.....Can't say enough good things about this wardrobeessential.....
Garnerville, N.Y.
Outstanding Sweater
I absolutely LOVE this sweater! So much so that I have 5 different colors. It fits well, is comfortable and goes with everything. Can be worn business casual, or to a football game. Extremely versatile. Love Love Love it. IF you're short definitely get a Petite. I have one that isn't and it is too large.
woodstock, GA
This sweater is better than I thought it would be. It is so comfortable and roomy. Great quality and value. I bought yellow and it is so vibrant. Will consider buying other colors.

Rent yourself an Indianapolis apartment and you'll find yourself in one of the fastest growing parts of the United States. With its easygoing appeal and welcoming disposition, it's no secret why people keep on choosing this city to settle in. Indianapolis sits near the exact center of the state of Indiana. From here, well-traveled roads lead in from all corners of the country. That's why Hoosiers here know their city as the "The Crossroads of America."
Indianapolis was chosen as the capital of Indiana in 1820. Its name literally means "Indiana City"-not the most creative moniker, but there are worse problems. It was here that the first public rail passenger terminal in the United States opened. Indianapolis also did well with the auto industry, giving Detroit a run for its money. The city suffered from urban decay in the 1970s and '80s, but concentrated revitalization efforts begun in the 1990s helped revive the area.
Today, Indianapolis is drawing in everyone from young Turks to retirees. It's an easy to navigate city, with its "Mile Square" central area set out in a grid. There are big old mansions split into apartments in Old Northside, downtown lofts in Fountain Square, and trendy nightspots in Broad Ripple Village.
Historically, Indianapolis has been known as a manufacturing-focused city. That's been changing, however. Employment has diversified into areas including education, social services, health care, tourism, retail trade, and finance. Indianapolis is also a distribution hub for many firms-you'll find FedEx, Amazon.com, Foxconn, and other facilities here. Some of the major companies based in Indianapolis include Eli Lilly and Company, WellPoint, Dow AgroSciences, and Marsh Supermarkets.
Of the institutes of higher education in Indianapolis, the best known is Butler University. Founded in 1855, Butler gets a lot of respect for its competitive basketball and volleyball programs. Also in town is Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis, which includes the Robert H. McKinney School of Law and the Herron School of Art and Design. Prospective students may also want to investigate Marian University or the private University of Indianapolis.
Living in Indianapolis is affordable. That holds true if you're looking to rent an old stately home or a modern apartment in a skyscraper. The rent for a one-bedroom here ranges from just $600 to $890 a month-and prices are still dropping. Part of the reason for this affordability is the city's high vacancy rate-13.5 percent in 2011 for rental properties.
You might be surprised by how much there is to do in Indianapolis. A good place to start would be the Indianapolis Cultural Trail. This path connects the five different Cultural Districts downtown. While you're at it, take a paddleboat along the Central Canal and enjoy the scenic greenery. Then there's the Indianapolis Zoo, the Circle Center mall, and the Indianapolis Museum of Art, which offers free admission.
One of the city's biggest draws is indubitably the Indianapolis Motor Speedway (and Hall of Fame Museum). This track hosts three major races each year. The Indianapolis Colts play pro gridiron at Lucas Oil Stadium and the Indiana Pacers shoot pro hoops at Bankers Life Fieldhouse. The NCAA Hall of Champions is also in Indianapolis.
Any list of special events for this city has to start with the Indianapolis 500, which speeds by in May. The National Hot Rod Association U.S. Nationals also burns through Indianapolis once a year. If auto racing isn't your thing, try Indy Jazz Fest, the Indiana State Fair, the Indianapolis Theatre Fringe Festival, the Indiana Black Expo, or the Midwest Music Summit.

My friends love them!
When I first experienced with Crocs.com, I saw everybody wearing these same pairs every summer and I have recognized it. I found out they're called Sexi Flip, I bought those for my friends' birthdays and they're both girls and ladies. They said they're comfortable wearing them and they love them alot, my friend work as a lifeguard, my other friend from my job, and my co-worker from my volunteer job. Those are the best sandals that I really thought that will be a great pair for my friends!!

Great sandals
I bought 2 pairs of these (black and brown) last summer and wore them a lot. They are really cute and I got tons of compliments on them. People couldn't believe they were Crocs. They are very comfortable and fit very securely on your foot. They look cute with shorts, capris and summer dresses. I would love to have more of these in different colors for next summer.

Feels Like I'm Walking on AIR!
I saw a friend wearing a pair of these and just had to have them! I have trouble with the normal, flat bottomed flip-flops, even if they are well cushioned. I normally cannot wear a pair for more than a few hours (especially walking a lot) without completely removing them and going barefooted or trading out shoes with my 12-year old daughter. I needed a shoe with an arch support that kept my feet from 'wearing out' early on and I FOUND FINALLY THEM! I bought 2 pair online, without ever trying them on...LOVED them, then while on vacation, drove 50 miles out of the way to a Crocs Outlet to buy my daughter her own pair because I could NOT keep her out of mine! I can assure you, if you buy a pair of the Sexi Flips, you will NOT be disappointed and I will NEVER own another pair of regular flip-flops...EVER! I just wish they came in more appealing colors after black and brown...the aqua and purple...nah! :)

. Seeds numerous (millions in some species), minute; endosperm absent.
Genera ca.
800, species 22,000 35,000 (701 genera, 208 species in the flora
; 1 genus, 6 species introduced) : worldwide except Antarctica, most diverse in tropical
The overall count for orchid genera in the flora includes Spathoglottis plicata Blume, which was recently reported from Palm Beach
County, Florida. The plants
, known locally since 1982, are apparently widely naturalized
in old shellpits. The number of species in the flora includes one newly recognized species in Habenaria that is morphologically described, but not fully treated here. Orchidaceae are by far the largest and most diverse monocot family
and rank among the largest families of flowering plants. An accurate account of the number of genera and species has eluded orchid scientists, and species counts published in the last 20 years range
from 15,000 to 35,000. New species are continually being described. In addition, numerous natural and artificial hybrids
Although orchids are important in horticulture
, most of the plants traded in the national and international market belong to a small number of species and their hybrids in only a few genera; the majority of orchids are not commonly cultivated. Few orchids are economically important outside the horticultural trade: the fruits of several species of Vanilla are the source of the spice vanilla, and the dry roots of some species of Dactylorhiza, Eulophia, and Orchis are made into salep, a flour
consumed in northern Africa, the Middle
East (especially Turkey), and Asia. Some species are locally used for medicinal purposes; the mucilage from pseudobulbs of several species is sometimes used as glue; and in the Far East the stems of some species of Dendrobium are split into strips used to weave handicrafts. A few orchids have been found to cause contact dermatitis
, Cypripedium reginae) .
Orchids range vegetatively from Lilliputian plants a few millimeters long (Bulbophyllum Thouars and Platystele Schlechter) to gigantic clusters
weighing several hundred
(Grammatophyllum Blume) to some as much as 13.4 meters in height
(Sobralia altissima D. E. Bennett & Christenson, a recently described species from Peru) . Likewise, flowers vary in size from less than 1 mm and barely visible to the naked eye (Platystele Garay), to 15 20 cm diameter (some Paphiopedilum Pfitzer, Phragmipedium Rolfe, and Cattleya Lindley spp.
), and ultimately to 76 cm [Phragmipedium caudatum (Lindley) Rolfe]. Weight
can vary from a fraction of a gram
(many Pleurothallus R. Brown spp.) to nearly 100 grams (Coryanthes Hooker spp.) . Their fragrances vary from delightful (Cattleya Lindley) to repulsive and unbearable (in some species of Bulbophyllum Thouars) . The plants colonize habitats
ranging from some of the driest and hottest places on earth to the wettest and coolest, literally occurring from polar
regions to the equator. Within the monocots, the most important diagnostic features of Orchidaceae are reduction of adaxial
stamens, fusion of the remaining stamens to the gynoecium forming the column, aggregation of pollen into compact
pollinia (present elsewhere only in the dicots
, in Asclepiadaceae), differentiation
of the median petal into the lip, a sometimes complex
organ, and the exceedingly small size of the seed, which lacks endosperm. Among other distinguishing characteristics: pollen in the pollinia is usually not available as a nutrient-source (Cleistes Richard ex
Lindley being a notable exception), and the often complex interaction with pollinators culminates in the phenomenon of pseudocopulation in several genera (e.g., Ophrys Linnaeus, Caladenia R. Brown sect. Calonema, Drakaea Lindley) . In the latter process
, the flower mimics the appearance
, the smell, and often the movements of a female wasp, attracting a male of a suitable species that tries to copulate with the flower. It usually only succeeds in becoming attached to a pollinium
, which will then be transferred if the male tries to copulate with another flower.
Roots of orchids may be covered with velamen, spongy layers derived from the epidermis
; fleshy thickenings of roots are tuberoids (tubers being restricted
to stems) . Stems may be swollen or thickened, underground corms or aerial pseudobulbs. Flowers are often resupinate: the lip (modified median petal) is lowermost, usually as a result of the pedicel being twisted or bent in its development by 180°. Pedicellate ovary, usually used in reference to length
, refers to the combined pedicel and ovary. Flowers are not always borne on pedicels; when they are, it is sometimes difficult to distinguish between a slender ovary and the pedicel. Consequently, because of their slender ovaries, flowers of a racemose spike appear to be pedicellate even though they are sessile, while a spicate raceme has pedicels so short that they appear to be absent. Orchid flowers often have a modified median sepal, the dorsal sepal. Sepals coalescing at their tips
form a synsepal. The middle portion of the upper (adaxial) face
of the lip is the disc: it may be a thickened callus and may bear hairs
, papillae, or other ornamentation. In orchids the style, stigmas, filaments, and one or more anthers are united
to form a column; appendages
laterally from the stigma are column wings; the lip may be attached to the protrusion at the base
of the column to form a column foot
; lateral sepals that are also attached to the foot
form a mentum
(chin) . In most orchids the column bears a single anther at its apex; the clinandrium
is the cavity
within which the anther is borne or embedded
. Pollen is borne in discrete masses (pollinia) . Genera with mealy
(sectile) pollinia may have pollinia within the anther tapering into a caudicle (stalk
), which is attached to a sticky viscidium
. Those with waxy pollinia have pollinia attached to one or two stipes (of stigmatic
and formed outside the anther), which in turn
are attached to a viscidium. The various aggregations of pollinia, caudicles, stipes, and viscidium form a pollinarium
, the pollination unit
carried by pollinators. The median stigma lobe may have a slender extension
or little beak
(rostellum), which aids in gluing the pollinarium to the pollinator.[1]
